Looming on the Horizon - DM Donna Thursday June 14th, 2007 4:20:37 AM
The trip across the island is uneventful, for the most part.
The efforts to protect themselves from the corrupting influence of the Black Sword are successful. Between their support of one another and the extra Protection from Evil spells cast, the Black Sword remains locked (and sulking) in its box.
On the fifth day of trekking, the outline of a very large settlement comes into view. In fact, this settlement could very well count as a large town, or even a small city.
The dwellings are definitively of a more permanent nature than that of Fffiffft...and the populace here is more numerous as well.
And it's all just waiting for the Chosen to come in and discover its secrets.
(OOC: Cayzle...did this town/city actually have a name, or do I get to name it..?)
Winterglade Thursday June 14th, 2007 5:58:27 AM
"Winterglade doesn't like how quiet the bloody thing keeps. It's going to spring a surprise on us as soon as it is able, you just wait and you will see. Winterglade wouldn't take into the city if it can be avoided. And he has absolutely no idea where are we going to put it while on a ship."
[Hello Adam!]
Brahmah Thursday June 14th, 2007 8:12:04 AM
Prepared spells: Pass without Trace x2 and Bears Endurance.
"I suggest dangling it over the side Glade." The minotaur smiles. "Of course I'm kidding. But I agree, someone, a couple actually, should watch the box and others should enter the city." He lowers his voice. "The sword will attempt to take anyone's mind if it can."
"Who wants to stay with the box and who wants to enter the city? I think the wemics should definately enter. Maybe Gecktar and Flat-top with the box?" ------------------- Heyoo stays close to his minotaur friend and occasionally sniffs the sword box.
Flat-top Thursday June 14th, 2007 9:25:21 AM
"OK! I'll stay with the box! As long as there's a magic uer with me!!" Flat-top feel uneasy as if some one is watching them?? That's inposible?? They're out in the open, but still that feeeling??
(Almot time for you to post Adam, Come on jump in, we woun't hurt you much?)
Cayzle OOC Thursday June 14th, 2007 10:14:46 AM
The town on the eastern shore is called Velawia in wemic, Chessford in common. It holds about 5,000 wemics. One clan we met there is Clan Sandifurr, Some Sandifurr wemics we met there (in 2002) included a girl cub, Sheras; her mother, Rhasa; her granny, Alasa; and her uncle, Tynyc.
The houses in the township are organized by clan. In some cases, more than one house is within a certain area when one house becomes too small for the clan. Each house has inner areas with lots of glassless windows. The windows close like barn doors when it rains. In good weather, liontaurs recline on perches inside each window.
The clan houses tend to get poorer and less prestigious as you get farther from the center of the township. Among them is the Sandifurr clanhouse: a large covered porch with ramps heading up outside to the three levels of the house and down into the basement. There is much open area in the house in the center where all three levels of the house can be seen.
Of Chosen who have been here before, only Brahmah and Flat-top are still with the party (Zeoll was dead at the time).
Zeoll d20+12=15 d20+12=21 d20+12=16 Thursday June 14th, 2007 4:27:17 PM
Zeoll hates to leave the sword, but agrees that it would be a disaster to bring it into the town. It would affect all kinds of people near it, and only do damage.
Yes, Gilles and Flat-top should stay. Maybe one more Taur too.
Zeoll wants to enter because he hopes his skills at gathering info will help fid the Gargulite that might be here waiting for them. Or to find passage to Bridge Isle if not. As a liontaur, he has an advantage there too.
Brahmah should definitely go. He has been here before, and that can only help.
Toros or Mosushi would make a good third.
In town, Zeoll does his best to make discreet inquiries about the following:
Any follower of Gargul in the area: Gather Info Check 15 Any word about Vargas or his minions: 21 Any ships on which the Chosen might book passage to Bridge Isle: 16
Brahmah Thursday June 14th, 2007 5:09:51 PM
Brahmah agrees with Zeoll's assessment of this matter and right along with them.
As for the loot from Vargas and his cronies, Brahmah is concerned, but intrigued by the Friend Shield ring. "I know these rings come in pairs. Someone, like his cleric, would be wearing the other. I want to make a radical suggestion. If I were to wear it, and I say this because I wouldn't place anyone else in harms way, and you all do massive damage to me all at once, until I drop, that would certainly remove another minion from the picture. But we don't know if they will have thought to remove the ring or not so it would put me at risk." He smiles. "I know. There is a thin line between brave and stupid... and I just crossed it. But you can't say it not innovative." He winks.
"I wouldn't be opposed to using, for the time being, the ring of Freedom of Movement. That is until we clear up who gets what gear. I will certainly loan my ring +1 to anyone needing one for the time being.
I think it prudent to consider the fact we are now splitting the party. We should get use from these items."
Zeoll d20+8=19 Thursday June 14th, 2007 7:56:10 PM
Zeoll listens to Brahmah, at first with confusion, then with understanding, then with a growing grin. When the full impact of this plan blooms in his mind, he can only laugh and laugh!
[OOC: In real life, Jay, I think I scared the baby by laughing so hard! LOL!]
Finally, Zeoll wheezes himself upright. At last he can talk again. "Brrahmah! Brrahmah! Lorrds help us! You arre brrilliant! What a funny fabulous fantastic idea! My frriend, you are a genius!"
Zeoll thinks this is a great idea! Well worth it! Moreover, he suggests casting Bear's Endurance and Aid on Brahmah first to raise his hit point total even higher!
But just to be cautious, Zeoll uses what bardic lore he might have to guess whether there are any flaws in the Captain's plan. Bard Lore check 19.
"If my storries of rrings like this arre rright, then I think yourr plan will not succeed, alas, my captain. You can orderr the rring to cast Shield Otherr on otherr wearrerr. Then half the damage inflicted on THAT perrson will hurrt you. Only if the wearrerr of the otherr rring activates it will they be susceptible to damage we inflict on you. Morreoverr, the spell gives a warrning in that the rrecipient also gains a bonus in deflecting blows and rresisting magic."
"But this rring still has value to us. We may be able to use it to scrry or divine the location of the enemy."
How Can Such a Goody-Two-Hooves Get Such an Eeeevil Idea? - DM Donna Friday June 15th, 2007 2:48:47 AM
The Chosen plot to keep their own safe, to keep the citizens of Velawia safe...and to try to take out (from afar) another of Vargas' group.
Zeoll's careful consideration of the plan reveals no obvious or glaring flaws. It just might work.
Zeoll carefully gathers his information, trying to locate a cleric or follower of Gargul. His investigations seem to pay off, as two or three different sources seem to point him in the direction of one of the poorer parts of town--the western edge of the city, where there has been a lone cleric of Gargul wandering the area, preaching the doctrine of his temple. Supposedly the group should be able to find this cleric if they go to the Wanderers' Roost, an inn on the west side of Velawia.
Winterglade Friday June 15th, 2007 3:55:18 AM
Winterglade remains with the sword. He doesn't feel very well in cities and he certainly doesn't want to see ships or the ocean just yet, pushing the thoughts of another sea voyage to the back of his head. The centaur is getting gloomy and moody - well, more than usual that is. It is a relief that at least the Gargulite can be reached without entering the city itself.
Flat-top Friday June 15th, 2007 7:42:41 AM
Flat-top takes a look at Winterglade, "Glade your turning green again and we're not even near water yet" He trying to be nice to Glade, last time we went to sea Glade vomited on his Speciat Shoes.
But on ward they go, but hoping that they don't have to beat up their leader, after he had made his own BIG Mistake. But readies himself just in case!!.
Zeoll d20+21=35 d20+12=19 Friday June 15th, 2007 10:32:25 AM
As much as he would love to try Brahmah's wild plan, he thinks that the Gargulite is the first priority. Zeoll, presumably with Brahmah and whoever else is going to town (Toros? Mosushi?) head for the Wanderers' Roost. Zeoll does what he can to diplomatically find this rumored Eye of Gargul.
Diplomacy: 35 Gather Info: 19
Brahmah (Helm of Languages) Friday June 15th, 2007 11:24:09 AM
Grabbing Mosushi by the scruff of his neck, the minotaur makes his way with his friends. The Friend Shield safely in his position and presumably the Freedom of Movement ring, as there was no objections. They head for the Roost.
"I'll have to bring back an ale or something for Flat-top I think. He'll never forgive us."
------------------
As Heyoo is no good in cities either, he stays and keeps company with the centaur druid, Glade.
*************************** Mosushi still unavailable to post? I think I'll post for him.
Mosushi (Sub Jay B) d20+7=12 Friday June 15th, 2007 11:38:40 AM
Great sword hanging at his side, he begins to speak Flat-top as he's ripped from his spot by the Captain. "Oy, wha..."
He begins pouring over in his mind what he knows of this region. (Knowledge geography 12)

Winterglade Saturday June 16th, 2007 5:55:20 AM
"Go ahead and go with the Captain, Gecktar. Winterglade doesn't feel like socializing with furballs right now."
The centaur continues to sulk.
"Patience, Winterglade, patience. Just some more time and we'll be Plane Shifting, yes we will. No more sea travel ever again, we'll just sail through the Astral anywhere we want. We'd rather face an astral dreadnought than a week at sea, yes we would."
Flat-top Saturday June 16th, 2007 8:46:07 AM
Flat-top yells back at the Captain, "Thank-you Captain! thinking to bring me back a tankard of Ale, ALSO a comb of honey for your bear!!". If Brahmah looks back toward Flat-top, he'll see that Yahoo is pulling on his berry Pouch.
Brahmah Saturday June 16th, 2007 12:36:59 PM
"Astral what?! I'd prefer a hairball on my hoof than an Astral Whatsit!" Smile the minotaur.
Mosushi (Sub Jay B) Saturday June 16th, 2007 12:38:51 PM
Rubbing his neck, the centaur moves along, trotting and clopping.
Whispering, he says, "Captain, I prepared invisibility should we have an issue with Vargas or one of his bunch." Says the centaur, looking around a bit nervously.

While the Captain is off on a trip into town for some ale?? Flat top plays with the Captain pet Heyou. He takes some berries from his pouch and rub it on a stick. "Go Fetch!" The only problem with that Game is, the darn bear eats the stick!!.
The Wandering Roost (Sub Fill-in DM Cayzle) Monday June 18th, 2007 8:38:53 AM
Zeoll, Brahmah, Gecktar, and Mosushi head for the outskirts of town. Flat-top, Toros, and Winterglade stay behind at camp to watch the Blade.
At the Wandering Roost
The Wanderer's Roost is a working man's (or, rather, wemic's) tavern. They serve ale and some wine. No such things as mixed drinks. They have stew for their only food choice. This tavern caters mostly to drinkers, and a few brawlers as well. Within the humble environment of the tavern (which contains a clientel of mostly wemics, but there are a fair number of centaurs and minotaurs, too) there is a semi-clear area in which a wemic bard plays a concertina and sings a ballad that sounds like it was inspired by the death (and eventual resurrection) of Tomi.
The overall feeling that the working-class patrons of the Roost give is general relief that their work day is done.
There is a female wemic working as bartender. She's a dark blonde wemic with soft brown eyes and a flinty sort of charm.
At the camp
You hear a sound ... like a voice. Please make Listen Checks for more detail ...
If you make a listen check DC6, then Highlight to display spoiler: {It sounds like cursing in anger and frustration.}
If you make a listen check vs DC12, then Highlight to display spoiler: {It is coming from the sword's box!}
If you make a listen check vs DC18, then Highlight to display spoiler: {It is definitely the sword that is cursing and angry!}
Brahmah (Alarm on box 8 hours) Monday June 18th, 2007 4:24:02 PM
Leaving camp, Brahmah makes sure everyone knows the password for his alarm spell (it is always 'Kayleb' until otherwise stated)
Reaching the tavern, the minotaur goes to the bar, orders a bottle of ale for Flat-top and then grabs a draft for himself... its been a long time since he had one!
He looks at Zeoll. Shrugging and giving him a look that plainly says, 'Well, its your party. Go to town!' He glances at the other patrons and then back at Zeoll. "Looks like your kind of place." He smiles, eyes flicker toward the bard.
He shrugs again and begins talking with Mosushi and Gecktar.
However, he takes a moment to look around for an obvious Gargulite.

Winterglade d20+4=13 Tuesday June 19th, 2007 7:03:44 AM
[Listen 13]
"Hear that?" - the centaur points to the box. "The thing's getting desperate." Much quieter he adds: "We better keep it in the dark regarding what we want it for so there is no trouble."
And then a thought hits him.
If it is capable of emotions, then for all practical purposes the sword is an intelligent being, and the group is about to do what is an equivalent of an execution without a jury or a trial... The centaur's mood turns somber and thoughtful.
Gargul's will or not, this just feels WRONG. You have no right to destroy somebody just because he is capable of bringing about much evil.
Winterglade realizes the thing is probably guilty of enough evil to warrant it's destruction many times over, but can't help but feel a tiny bit of pity for the proud blade now reduced to this sorry state.
"You have already demonstrated your intentions. You will stay confined. Sorry."

Gecktar Tuesday June 19th, 2007 11:27:27 AM
Gecktar mimics Brahmah taking a pint of ale. He savours it and looks around. He is not acustomed to such places. He prefers the quiet of a prayer hall.
Nevertheless he chats with Brahmah and Mosushi. "Do you thing we will be able to take some holydays soon ? I languish for long studies of books and comfortable bed."
Brahmah (Alarm on box 8 hours) Tuesday June 19th, 2007 2:49:02 PM

A Loud Crash! (Sub-DM Cayzle) Tuesday June 19th, 2007 3:40:18 PM
In the Tavern
It turns out that the bartender knows that the cleric of Gargul that the Chosen seek is called Vern, a human male who has been exhorting any who would listen to him to take a little time to be truly introspective and be certain that everything they have done is something they don't mind to be judged for, because all such actions will make a difference once they shuffle off the mortal coil.
Some listen. Most ignore him. The bartender says he just went out back to use the "facilities" located behind the building. In fact, he's taking a longer time than normal.
There is suddenly a loud crash from behind the tavern, along with a bellow of some sort.
At the camp
The sounds from the box stop as soon a anyone says anything. Flat-top, please make a Will save.
Winterglade Wednesday June 20th, 2007 3:35:55 AM

Behind the Tavern
Brahmah, Gecktar, and Zeoll move to the rear exit and out back of the Tavern. Brahmah and Gecktar draw weapons as they go. Mosushi is too startled to act yet, and remains in the tavern.
Set behind the main building are the outhouses, all in a row. What's worse, there are a number of evil-looking wasps with red eyes and a sulferous stench that are trying to get into one of the out-buildings. Is someone inside trying to hold the door closed?
Flat-top narrowly escapes more domination, and Glade sighs in relief.

<Sigh> "Flat-top, you can't let it bait you into coming within the range of it's powers like that."
The centaur shudders to think what would have happened if the party was carrying the thing in the street. We probably would have had to go with a Magic Circle of Protection from Evil...

Gecktar puts a hand on the shoulder of Brahmah before the fighter rushes into the enemy's ranks.
"These are infernal creatures and have been called by magic. Let me try something"
Gecktar gesture at the creatures calling the name of Domi and unleash a burst of dispelling power.

Mosushi was truly startled by the clammering and rises to meet the challenge. Now having to make it through a small crowd, he is careful not to hurt others in his haste to the door. Making it to the door (and NO further), the wizard knight thinks momentarily. "These are not normal wasps." (Knowledge nature 14) He barely knows they aren't normal, but sure can't tell why.
Aiming at wasp 2, because he is closest to the man in the outbuilding, he casts magic missile. (SR 19, 16, 21 rolls for three missiles, 3, 4, 5 damage) on single target (hope I got this right...

Gecktar's ingenuity and good fortune pays off! There are two Summon Monster V spells in effect here, each one calling 1d3 wasps. Gecktar's dispel check cancels one of these spells. I need another dispel check to see about the other spell ... so the DM is rolling that for you. A d20+7 = 14, not good enough. But the dispel got rid of one summoning, anyway. On an even roll, it got rid of two; on an odd roll, three. Gecktar banishes fiendish wasps 2 and 3 to their extra-planar home.
Brahmah moves forward to p-q-8-9, but the wasp he had hoped to target is now gone. The others are too far away to reach with only a single move. Next round?
Mosushi's spell punches through the wasps' magic resistance, inflicting 12 points of hurt to Wasp 5.
Zeoll's song inspires courage in the Chosen.

Flat-top waits for either a nice ale or Someone to relive him from Guard duty. He want to run in the sand. Yes That's what he need a good work out!!
But He stays at his appointed post. With the sun beating on his body and the bear tugging at his pouch.
Sticky Situations (Substitute DM Cayzle) d20+2=21 d20+2=8 d20+6=16 d20+4=7 Tuesday June 26th, 2007 9:50:50 AM
OOC: Sorry friends for missing a day. Real life took a toll.
The fight behind the tavern
Brahmah's attack kills one and wounds two more. The one previously hurt by Mosushi is almost dead (Wasp 1). The other is somewhat wounded (Wasp 4).
Mosushi hits web, knowing that the magic sticky strands are not affected by spell resistance. The two remaining spiders must save vs the DC13 reflex attack: Wasp 1 is not affected, but Wasp 4 is stuck fast! The stuck one suffers a -2 penalty on all attack rolls and a -4 penalty to Dexterity.
Brahmah is not affected by the web.
Gecktar charges and attacks, severly damaging Wasp 4.
Zeoll begins casting a summoning, but by the time it arrives, all his fire elemental will have to do is clear away the webs!
The two wasps attack one last time.
Wasp 1 attacks Brahmah. It hits AC16 ... a miss.
Wasp 4 attacks Gecktar, at -2 due to the web. It hits AC7 ... a miss.
Flat-top wishes for a drink. Winterglade plays with Brahmah's bear, as Toros watches. The scene would be idyllic, except that a dark source of evil lurks nearby. What was that ruckus? Why did it start making noise? The motives of the ancient evil item remain murky.
Jay B Tuesday June 26th, 2007 10:45:36 AM
OOC: Checking in again.
Brahmah and Mosushi wait on pins and needles. :)
Question: Will Bill return soon to play Mo? Or are we going to be looking for yet ANOTHER replacement? I will play Mosushi until this weekend then I will pass him to another Sub.

(OOC: Cayzle, I had JUST posted the last post just before you did! :))
"No one set that web on fire, it'll raze the outhouse."
He attacks again. (Hits Ac 28, 18, 30(crit threat with 30) and 16, for 11, 8, 30(if crit ;)) and 10 damage respectively)
"Who 'goes' there?" He calls out to the loo. -------------------------------------------- Brahmah (Alarm on box 8 hours)

Mosushi (AC 14, hps 32)[Sub Jay B] Tuesday June 26th, 2007 10:59:44 AM
Mosushi notes Brahmah's suggestion and holds off on any fire based spells.
When he's sure the wasps are dead and all questions from the person in the outhouse are done, he will release the Web, but only when Brahmah says. "Just let me know when you want the Web down Captain Brahmah."

Once more Gecktar smash the wasp with his hammer wielded with his two hands to get more damage, hitting it two times (hit AC26 and 15 for 13 and 8hp damage)
Zeoll Tuesday June 26th, 2007 1:07:58 PM
Zeoll continues summoning his fire elemental, since he started it anyway.
Toros Tuesday June 26th, 2007 10:48:26 PM
Toros enjoys his time ignorant of the troubles around. He knows that if he pays attention, he would be bothered more and more. Let the evil black sword stay as it is...
The Win Against the Wasps (Substitute DM Cayzle) Tuesday June 26th, 2007 11:55:44 PM
Without even landing a single blow, the wasps are defeated! The Chosen emerge without a scratch ... even just a subset of four Chosen!
From within the outhouse, you hear a voice calling in accented Tauric, "Hello! Help! I seem to be trapped here!"
Winterglade Wednesday June 27th, 2007 3:57:07 AM
"Winterglade wonders if they managed to find that Gargulite? They all seem somber fellows and full of themselves. No doubt he will turn the meeting into an opportunity to be majestic at someone."
Gecktar Wednesday June 27th, 2007 6:03:45 AM "Get away from the door, I'm going to smash the lock" says Gecktar.
He hands his adamantite warhammer and strikes the lock of the door hoping that it is not magically held.
Flat-top Wednesday June 27th, 2007 7:23:38 AM
Flat-top is antsy, he shif from one hoof to another, Gut he must stand guard, "OH! Gee! What do I do Now?? Wait a minute! I'm out in the wilderness, Nothing around for miles, except for the rest of the gang. I might as well do it here!"
So Flat-top releaves himself, unfortantly a lot of Center splash on the box. "Tee Hee!" snicker Flat-top.
Brahmah (AC 22, hps 105) courage (Alarm on box 8 hours) Wednesday June 27th, 2007 1:11:09 PM
"I don't think its locked. Mo, can you release the web?" Laughs the minotaur.
He takes a second to listen for the mental Alarm spell. -------------------------------------------- Brahmah (Alarm on box 8 hours)

------------------- Heyoo stays in camp.
Mosushi (AC 14, hps 32)[Sub Jay B] d20+9=14 Wednesday June 27th, 2007 1:14:40 PM
"Alright!" The mage releases the wand cast web from the buildings. "Now try the door."
He then casts Detect Magic and surveys the area carefully, starting with the outhouse. (Concentration 14)
Brahmah Wednesday June 27th, 2007 2:45:51 PM
"Gecktar, lets avoid property damage if we can help it."
Zeoll Wednesday June 27th, 2007 2:59:14 PM
The liontaur sits tight with his fire elemental in case there is any trouble.
The Eye Of Gargul (Substitute DM Cayzle) Wednesday June 27th, 2007 3:12:45 PM
Behind the Tavern
With the last wasp dead, the Chosen clear away the Web and open the outhouse door. There is a male human there, dressed in a black robe and wearing a cloth hat. A white eye is embroidered on the front of his robe.
"Thank you!" he says in accented Tauric. "I thought I would be meeting the Great Lord before I had accomplished his mission. I am in your debt."
He holds out his hand. "I'm Rebbe Vern."
At the camp outside town
Flat-top decides to make his feeling even more clear ... in a physical way. Flat-top, please make another Will Save vs DC20.
Winterglade, thinking about the Chosen who entered town, sees (and smells) what Flat-top is doing.
Brahmah Wednesday June 27th, 2007 3:54:56 PM
Sensing the alarm from the box (because the password was not used and Flat-top is TOO close to it), Brahmah grabs Rebbe's hand and says in common, "Um, nice to meet you friend of Gargul. But we have to go."
He turns to the others. "I think the box is being tampered with! We need to go."
"Excuse me Rebbe, I'm Brahmah. We have been seeking you for a week or two. Can't explain now." He grabs and hefts the human onto his shoulders. "Trust us. We're the Chosen of Domi and we need your expertise about a legendary sword." He sprints off toward camp, with his human baggage, draped like a shawl.
"Mo, grab what gear he has!"
Mosushi Wednesday June 27th, 2007 3:55:32 PM
Does what he's told.
Winterglade Wednesday June 27th, 2007 6:40:43 PM
"Toros, Winterglade thinks we'll need a pair of manacles."
The centaur watches the scene unfolding before him. His eyebrow is twitching just a little bit.
Toros Thursday June 28th, 2007 1:10:27 AM
"Oh well, Glade I know what you mean..."
Toros also watches the unfolding scene with worried as well as wondering eyes.
Flat-top d20+3=22 Thursday June 28th, 2007 7:58:53 AM
Will Save -22
"Hummp! Take that! Now I want you silent or I'll burry you! So Deep That I will hit watter, so YOU! can russ and fall apart." Snaps Flal-top, then he realise that It' Just A Evil Sword, now he fell stupid.
So He comtinue his watch and guard the party he's with.
Brahmah Thursday June 28th, 2007 11:15:21 AM
Continues to run.
Mosushi [Sub Jay B] Thursday June 28th, 2007 11:15:57 AM
Runs with Brahmah after getting the clerics gear.
Gecktar Thursday June 28th, 2007 3:52:21 PM
Gecktar knows about the 'alarm' that Brahmah put on the box and rushes to get back to the cart and the other Chosen.
Zeoll Friday June 29th, 2007 6:05:01 AM
The liontaur follows Brahmah, shouting to the cleric, "We arre frriends! Don't be alarmed!"
Return to Camp (Substitute DM Cayzle) Friday June 29th, 2007 6:08:45 AM
Brahmah gives the alarm, and the human does not resist as he is scooped up and carried off. "This is just like I dreamed!" he exclaims, "Praise Gargul!"
The group returns to camp to find Toros, Glade, and Flat-top sitting down to a meal. Toros and Glade seem to be watching Flat-top as closely as they are watching the box that holds the sword. As for the box itself, well, eyes and noses can easily tell what happened to set off the alarm.
The cleric looks around carefully. "Centaurs and minotaurs and liontaurs! All working together in a group. Under Domi's sign. Yes, this is where I am supposed to be! At last!"
Flat-top Friday June 29th, 2007 7:02:15 AM
As Brahmah appears on the horison, Flat-top alerts the others as they have their meal.
Flat-top Yells at the on comming Party, "Hail! And my I ask as to Who you have there sling over your shoulder? Captain?" As this group eats. "Did he not want to come along?? or was he to slow to run??"
Flat-top look at the new commer up and down, "There some hot food in the caldrun. Look out tor the hot coals!"
ADM Ceil to Cayzle Friday June 29th, 2007 7:03:45 AM
I sent you a e-mail about DM Donna.
Cayzle answers: Thanks Ceil, got it. We can hope for Donna's return soon! We need her to be an example to me on how to be a better DM!
Brahmah and Mosushi Friday June 29th, 2007 11:47:06 AM
"Where's the box? Is it secret? Is it safe?"
Winterglade Saturday June 30th, 2007 2:53:18 AM
"Well, yeah, doesn't take an alchemy master to figure out what's happened. Flat-top, do you really want us to build a fence around this thing?"
Then the cleric notices the newcomer and nods politely. "Greetings, half-centaur. I take it you are the Gargulite?"
Flat-top Saturday June 30th, 2007 7:21:56 AM
Flat-top straitens his uper body, "Greetinsa1! I sir am called Flat-top." Then pointing to the box he was guarding, "That box has that Black Sword in it, and it insulted me! So I relived myself on it!! maybe I must have kick snad on it, too."
To Brahmah he tell him (with a smile), "As for Heyou. He was a very good bear, as you can see he is coming bace with fire wood. Now I'll give him some berries for his work.'"
Heyou drops the stick and waits for his reward, after he receives his reward. He goes and welcomes mis master with a great big kiss (licking brahmah face). then moves to the new commer to sniff him from head to toe. (his way of saying Welcome)
Zeoll Saturday June 30th, 2007 10:44:19 AM
Zeoll is glad that there is no threat to the sword. And he is very interested in what the human has to say. He introduces himself and the others to the human.
Rebbe Vern (Substitute DM Cayzle) Saturday June 30th, 2007 10:50:06 AM
Flat-top welcomes the human and offers some food.
Brahmah wants to know about the security of the sword. Mosushi wrinkles his nose.
Glade and Flat-top tell the Chosen's Captain what happened.
Zeoll makes some introductions. This confirms, to answer Glade, that this is a cleric of Gargul, also known as an Eye of Gargul. His name is Rebbe Vern. He tells you that "Rebbe" is a title meaning "Preacher," in a rough translation into Tauric.
Rebbe Vern, clad in black with the iconic outline of an eye embroidered on his robes, greets everyone gladly. He seems about to say more when Heyoo the Bear ambles up, mouth red (with berries, not blood, but that is not obvious), and starts to snuffle the human.
The Eye of Gargul leaps back and runs a good 30 feet away. He looks very statled by the animal's greeting. "Being eaten by a bear was not in my dream!" he exclaims.
Brahmah Saturday June 30th, 2007 11:36:42 AM
"Then you have nothing to worry about Rebbe." Smiles the minotaur, looking at the Rebbe and bear. "He's had his fill of human today."
Heyoo, thinking this a game, runs after the man, tongue lolling out of his mouth and dripping red juice.
Brahmah just roars with laughter.
Mosushi (AC 14, hps 32)[Sub Jay B] Saturday June 30th, 2007 11:38:11 AM
"Um, Captain, if he runs off, then we won't be able to question the Eye." Suggests the liontaur rationally.

Flat-top Sunday July 1st, 2007 7:37:52 AM
Flat-top laught loudly, "This is the funniest sceen I have ever seen! Hee Ha Ha snicker Snicker!" The yells at Heyou "Heyou! Come back here! I have a little more berries for you!" Then to Rebbe Vern "Don't worry the bear is just a big baby, he will not hurt you!"
Hayou catches up to Bebbe Vern, knock him down to the ground and Lick his face.
Brahmah (AC 22, hps 105) courage (Alarm on box 8 hours) Monday July 2nd, 2007 6:50:03 AM
The minotaur is less than happy about the cause for the alarm to go off, but relieved when he finds out the box is fine.
"So Rebbe, tell us your story. What have you seen? What visions has the Great Eye given you?" He retrieves the box and shakes it vigorously.

Heyoo is in camp licking Vern's ears.
Mosushi (AC 14, hps 32)[Sub Jay B] Monday July 2nd, 2007 6:52:39 AM
The liontaur casts Invisibility and wanders into the brush to find a place to get rid of the ale he drank.

Toros Monday July 2nd, 2007 11:57:55 AM
The wemic feels relief, as the Chosen return safely with their new company, and the cursed sword in the box seems to be OK for now.
"Hello, Preacher" greets Toros, however he is not so sure if Rebbe has heard him, while he is running away from Heyoo.
Gecktar Monday July 2nd, 2007 3:30:54 PM
Gecktar gather some dead wood and prepares a small fire. He puts a small cauldron filled with water on it and waits until it boils. Then putting some herbs into it he prepares a tea.
"Anyone wants a cup of tea ?"
"Sit around the fire and tell us about you Rebbe."
Brahmah Monday July 2nd, 2007 3:38:27 PM
"Find a twig or two of green wood. The smoke will keep down the mosquitoes. I hate bugs. Those wasps will be in my dreams tonight!" He shudders.
Zeoll d20+10=24 Monday July 2nd, 2007 5:23:29 PM
The liontaur uses his Wild Empathy to calm Heyoo and lead him away from the priest. "He's verry tame," he tells the Rebbe.
