Something Chitinous This Way Comes - DM Donna Friday August 17th, 2007 1:26:59 AM
(OOC: aaaack...missed my own deadline thanks to pressing personal errands. Ah well...here's the turn:)
After some of the Chosen point out to the others that there seems to be something approaching the sunning stones...something approaches the sunning stones!
There appears as a group about a dozen or so creatures, each of them about 10 feet tall or so. They resemble mutant praying mantises. (mantisus? mantisae?)
Big ugly bugs. Grayish-green coloring. All of them are heading for the sunning stones...apparently to go...sunning.
What does the party choose to do?
Toros Friday August 17th, 2007 2:18:21 AM
"Perhaps these are just harmless creatures. If we do not disturb them, they do not disturb us." Toros thinks to himself, maintaining his position. However, he is ready to move in regard to the actions of the other Chosen.
Winterglade Friday August 17th, 2007 3:27:08 AM
"Wow!" - comes the whisper of the centaur. "Winterglade has never before seen anything so... ugly. No point provoking a fight here, yes?"
Gecktar Friday August 17th, 2007 3:30:57 AM "I agree with Toros. Let them on their way without disturbance"
If he isn't on their path Gecktarstay still. Else he moves cautiously to get out their way
Flat-top Friday August 17th, 2007 7:52:02 AM
Flat-top with his Moning Star in His hand, will answer " I will not start anything, unless ofcours, if THEY mess with me! Then I'll defend myself!"
Flat-top does not move, in case they react on movement??
Zeoll d20+9=20 d20+12=15 Friday August 17th, 2007 10:19:53 AM
Zeoll looks at these creatures and wonders what it is he is looking at. He casts two Guidance spells as he tries to remember his nature lore and wracks his mind for stories his bard teachers may have told him.
Bardic Lore: 20
Knowledge Nature: 15
Kael Friday August 17th, 2007 11:07:00 AM
Kael watches the procession ready to defend himself if things go south, but it will not be him that makes the first move.
Moshushi(Adam Subbing) Friday August 17th, 2007 11:09:54 AM
Moshushi is not about to provoke the creatures, stays alert in case they do not feel the same.
Brahmah d20+6=19 Friday August 17th, 2007 2:01:30 PM
"Agreed! Step away from the stones and let them have a wide path."
What are these creatures?(Knowledge nature 19)
Good Guidance - DM Donna Friday August 17th, 2007 6:33:08 PM
The Guidance spells, coupled with the Knowledge checks, seem to answer a few questions:
The creatures are apparently a form of Ahnkheg, but their coloration seems to indicate that they are an aquatic variety rather than the normally-known landbound species. Ahnkhegs are big bug-creatures and not a threat to most intelligent life unless they're hungry and looking for food. When they're hunting food, they utilize their lightning-fast giant claws and their ability to spit/squirt acid.
Winterglade Saturday August 18th, 2007 2:45:06 AM
"So far, so good. We might be able to avoid messing with them altogether. Now, what about the sword? Are we going to start making any progress here?"
Flat-top Saturday August 18th, 2007 6:49:33 AM
With out moving (except for his mouth) "I don't know about you, Winterglade. But I'm not moving, in case they are Faster than I. I'm not letting go of my weapon! I would like to sugest, just don't MOVE! unless they spot you! Then Run."
Gecktar Monday August 20th, 2007 3:04:29 AM
Answering to Glade "I fear that we haven't made any progress here. I don't know if Domi will be able to help in this way. Maybe some divination would help. But we need to agree on the terms of the divination..."
Winterglade Monday August 20th, 2007 3:57:30 AM
The centaur holds still. "A Divination? We might, though we should probably address the question to Gargul, not the Brawler, and Winterglade suspects we just might get the same rhyme we already know once again. Come to think of it, Winterglade doesn't have the material components for that ritual - do you? Ehh, let's just dunk the sword first, it just might work..."
Flat-top Monday August 20th, 2007 7:04:27 AM
Flat-top Has Not moved a mussel, Stand there very still (with Fighting Morning Star in hand.) "I'm with you on that Idea, Glade! Let's dunk the Black Thing AND get the Flock out of here!"

Brahmah d20+7=24 Monday August 20th, 2007 9:26:24 AM
Brahmah looks carefully at the creatures demeanor. (Wild Empathy 24, -4 if magical beast) If they are hungry, Brahmah will make a silent gesture to the others to move away quickly.
Zeoll d20+6=21 Monday August 20th, 2007 12:14:36 PM
Zeoll thinks about the words that Gargul gave the group.
He also thinks about how the Eye of Gargul brought this new fellow for some important reason.
Hmmm.
Meantime, if Zeoll recognizes that the creatures are magical beasts with Int 1 or 2, then he will try to befriend them with a Wild Empathy check. He gets a 21! Woo hoo!
(If they are not magical beasts, or if Zeoll does not know, then he will not try!)
Zeoll is ready to cast his invisibility spell if things go belly up!
Moshushi Monday August 20th, 2007 12:27:10 PM
"Does anyone think those things eat evil swords? That would be most useful." Said in a very soft voice.
OOC:Thanks for subbing Adam.

Why Can't We Be Friends? - DM Donna d20=3 Monday August 20th, 2007 5:07:35 PM DM OOC: say...is that priest of Gargul with the Chosen as you are all hunkered about and observing these aquatic Ankhegs?
Zeoll tries to befriend the giant bugs.
HOW does he do this? Inquiring minds want to know.
Zeoll Monday August 20th, 2007 6:04:18 PM
Zeoll uses his wild empathy to befriend the bug things. He squats down and adopts their posture as best his four-legs-and-two-arms can. He imitates their chittery sounds. He offers tasty goodberries plucked from the wreath on his head -- rolling them towards the creatures, but not at them. He cocks his head in a way he thinks will show peaceful intentions and not a challenge.
[OOC1: I'm pretty sure the Gargul cleric came with us from the boat.]
[OOC2: Friends, I helped Donna WRITE this module, so don't expect Zeoll to solve any riddles or propose what to do! This Wild Empathy gambit is just a whim that I only thought of today -- NOT a way out of our problems that I know of. Get thinking and acting, people! Did Domi choose you only for brawn, or did he look for some brains too? Ha!]
Winterglade Tuesday August 21st, 2007 1:33:49 AM
Winterglade watches Zeoll's attempt with his head tilted to the side. "Interesting. Does he do that often? How did he manage to stay alive that long?"
"Winterglade thinks we should sum up the facts. We know we should dissolve the blade in the Tears of the Land, which almost certainly means waters of this island. We should do that under the Sun of Clear Sky, which could mean either literally doing that during a period of nice weather, or perhaps that some kind of heating is in order. We know that our brewer here, Kael, needs to play a part in the role, so probably a direct dunk is not a solution we are looking for. Any ideas, Brewer? These waters smell caustic, could you distill acid from them?"
Flat-top d20+6=25 d20+15=27 Tuesday August 21st, 2007 7:36:29 AM
Flat-top spots(25) the Eye's of the cretures, they have very funny eyes, It's like hundreds of pebbles in one eye scoket??. Making them a very dangerious enemy.
He gets an idea, maybe a stupid one, but an idea none the less. He makes his arms like their arms (bending his arms like theirs's) Then hops (Jump 27) back like they would.
By now he is swetting arrows, but tell the others, "This maynot work! but I have to try some thing?? Anything! is better than nothing??"
Brahmah Tuesday August 21st, 2007 8:08:04 AM
Responding to Winterglade's inquiry. "No, Zeoll rarely handles these kind of beasts." He continues to remain ready, swords drawn, but suddenly struck by Mosushi's question.
Gecktar Tuesday August 21st, 2007 9:00:44 AM "These creatures have acid isn't it ? Maybe we could require them to spit their acid on the sword while the Sun shines in the blue sky.
Now the question is how we should require them to do that?
Maybe Brahmah or Zeoll could speak with them if they are animals."
Kael d20+10=30 Tuesday August 21st, 2007 11:16:19 AM
Watching the centaurs perform their odd dances. "Perhaps we should wait and see what they do when they reach the outcropping?"
Glade's question is a good one, is there some way to distill the acid and increase it's potency? [Prof:Brewing nat.20+10=30; does that give me any insight as to my role here?]
Moshushi Tuesday August 21st, 2007 12:14:43 PM
Mosh is backing away from the creatures slowly. They don't appear too dangerous or hostile, but might be excreting some fumes or something. that's the only possible explanation for Zeoll and Flat Top
Something in the Air? - DM Donna d20=17 Tuesday August 21st, 2007 5:16:11 PM
Vern strokes his beard as he, too, considers how Zeoll and then Flat-top are acting. He notes that the group of ankhegs are definitely intrigued by the pair's antics (a couple of the smaller, apparently younger ones cautiously approach and poke at the goodberries on the ground.)
"I don't know much about these things, but I'm pretty sure that they don't eat metal." the cleric says. "However...if they manufacture acid...hmmm...sayyyyy...if we can get them to produce their acid...collect up a LOT of it in one place...consecrate it...!" Vern's words, coupled with Gecktar's dialog and Kael's contemplation about how to possibly make acid even more strong, gives everyone in the party a chance to suddenly become inspired with a solution!
Everyone in the party please roll an (ahem) Inspiration check. Straight d20, please. I'll let you know what your check actually yields in the next post.
Meanwhile, Kael is, indeed, pretty sure that he can make an even more effective acid than usual...utilizing both the water AND any acid produced by a beast like...oh...say...those ankhegs.
Toros d20=6 Tuesday August 21st, 2007 10:27:07 PM
Toros continues to watch cautiously what the ankhegs are doing. In the meantime the group talk about acid to destroy the sword attracts his attention, and he hopes for some inspiration finding a Chosen for a solution.
(d20, 6)
Winterglade d20=16 Wednesday August 22nd, 2007 2:17:44 AM
"Now we are getting somewhere. But - oh dear. From what Winterglade knows they don't spit acid unless desperate or frustrated. It would really be a shame to have to kill them to harvest their venom. Let's see if our jumpy fuzball can persuade them to help."
"If that doesn't work somebody could try to pester them from the air. Then the acid would be the only thing they could use against him. The only problem is, how to collect the acid spat into your eye at high speed? Do we even have any container that could safely hold it for a while?"
Gecktar d20=20 Wednesday August 22nd, 2007 3:11:31 AM
Glades thoughts are just the same as Gecktar as he is trying to think how they could store sufficient acid to dissolve the sword... An now idea come to him... Except... "I've heard of a simple wizard spell that creates an extradimentional space... Does any of our spellcaster know about it ?
(OOC: Gecktar seems to be very, very inspired...)
Flat-top d20=18 Wednesday August 22nd, 2007 7:00:20 AM
Flat-top Looks back, where the Smaller one of these odd species , are acting like Heyou??
"Well1 Well! These young ones have the same love of berries?? Let's see what they do when we put a handfull of berries?"
Flat-top puts down a half handfull on the ground, then jumps back next to the box (with the Sword in it??, putting berrieson the box (without touching the Box.)
"Now let's see if they fight over the berries, Like most children do when there is not enought to go around? They might spit acid on the box and destroy it? Hmm! worth a try? Captain?"
Moshushi d20=2 Wednesday August 22nd, 2007 12:57:03 PM
Moshushi is far too wrapped up in gawking at the ankhegs and wannabe ankhegs.
"Winterglade, perhaps a flying rock?"
makes a rock float about with the hand of the mage.
"It's not very threatening, but they might spit at it"
Zeoll d20+19=22 Wednesday August 22nd, 2007 1:40:18 PM
The liontaur seems oblivious to his freinds as he tries to tame an ankheg. He tries again to coax one closer and put it at ease. This time he tries music, gently getting out his drum and tapping a compelling rhythm.
Fascinate effect: Perform check 22 = Will save DC. Not Zeoll's best, but still good enough, he hopes.
Brahmah d20=9 Wednesday August 22nd, 2007 1:55:52 PM
Perplexed and frustrated, the ranger shakes his head. "Damned if I know what to do. I'm just the leader!" He sits down.
(Aaaaaahh, ooh-kaaayy? Inspiration check? 9, He is less than 50% inspired)
He bobs in tune with Zeoll's song.
Brahmah Wednesday August 22nd, 2007 1:57:35 PM
"Don't harm them though, if you can help it. They have more of a right to this island than us."
When Inspiration Strikes - DM Donna d20=1 Wednesday August 22nd, 2007 7:22:04 PM
Everyone in the party is thinking very, very hard about this one.
Mosushi makes his rock float, but the most that this tactic seems to do is garner some staring before the two smallest (youngest?) ankhegs try batting the floating rock at each other in some kind of game.
Toros is pretty sure that, of the two playing ankhegs, the one with the most blue-green blotches on its abdomen is going to "out-bat" the other.
Brahmah is equally sure that Toros is wrong.
Within Winterglade's mind, the mystic advice and their current situation seem to come together...if there were some way of getting a container that could hold enough acid in it so that the sword could be placed within it...an acid-proof container, of course...then THAT may be the answer!
Flat-top, while trying to tempt the littlest ankhegs, suddenly comes up with the very same idea that Winterglade does! In fact, he even thinks of something else: if the group could find a way to get the ankhegs to cooperate, then it's likely that none of them have to get hurt!
Gecktar seems to have THE most brilliant flash of inspiration of all: get the ankhegs to produce the acid, use the acid in a specific brewing process to make it ultra-powerful, put as much of that ultra-powerful acid into an acid-proof container that will be large enough to hold the sword and the acid both, consecrate the acid under the conditions stated in the rhyme AND put the sword in it under all those conditions!
Yes, by George, Gecktar thinks he's got it!!!
Meanwhile it looks like Zeoll definitely has a captive audience.
Brahmah Thursday August 23rd, 2007 1:44:04 AM
Brahmah is a willing follower at this stage. "As long as the sword is gone, I don't care how it happens."
Winterglade Thursday August 23rd, 2007 2:21:49 AM
"Right. We need a distilled acid, so having them directly spit at sword or at rock might not work. First order of business: acid proof container. Winterglade can make a stone basin of proper size using his power over earth, just like he did to make bridges for us before. What he doesn't know is if, say, five inches of stone will contain this powerful acid long enough to distill it and dissolve the sword in it. Our brewer here will need to supply him with an estimate of dimensions for the container. But this will have to wait until tomorrow, for Winterglade is not ready to perform such magic today."
"Secondly, we'll need to fill it up with acid. So far they seem to be not responsive to Zeoll. Does anybody here have power to influence them in any way? Winterglade doesn't. As a last resort Winterglade could put walls around three sides his basin, summon some kind of creature inside it, and then hope that the acid spat at it will stay in the basin when the creature is dismissed, but he will welcome better ideas."
Flat-top Thursday August 23rd, 2007 7:20:48 AM
Flat-top watches the teeh age bugs, "Winterglade! Better Come uo with something!! I'll in the frount row here? AND I don't like acid baths!"
Gecktar Thursday August 23rd, 2007 8:30:18 AM "The idea of stone bassin is great, and I hate to not have thought about this first."
"I two have the power to shape the earth but as you Glade, not yet... And I don't know if we will be able to wait until this time..."
"Don't think those beasts will be patient enough"
"Then what about looking for a narural bassin, this island seems tormented and volcanic. I gues we could find one near this place."
Moshushi Thursday August 23rd, 2007 1:33:51 PM
"They don't seem very threatening, at least not yet. Maybe we confuse them."
Talk to the Animals - DM Donna Thursday August 23rd, 2007 5:45:49 PM
Vern watches Zeoll continue his rapport with the ankhegs.
"You know...if Zeoll can cast a spell to communicate with them, I'll bet those big buggy things will cooperate." the cleric points out. "After that, it's merely a matter of getting all the ingredients needed together under the right conditions...then I complete the efforts with the blessings of Gargul and the deed can be done."
All that is needed now is confirmation from Zeoll and from Kael that they can cast Speak with Animals and brew that acid, respectively.
Toros Thursday August 23rd, 2007 9:43:19 PM
"I have got a philter for speaking with animals, anyone who wants to talk with these creatures can use it" offers Toros.
Toros Thursday August 23rd, 2007 9:48:39 PM
"Thinking twice, I also should have a Tongues scroll somewhere here". This could be handy too - to speak with these buggies, I mean."
Flat-top Friday August 24th, 2007 6:19:05 AM
Now Flat-top is sweating arrows, because he's right up frount, looking into those beautiful Bugs Eyes. "Come on Guys! I'm NOT acid proof!"
Flat-top starts to look around, So he can retreat some place else, some how??
Zeoll d20+6=24 Friday August 24th, 2007 7:06:42 AM
[OOC to Donna: Highlight to display spoiler: {Thing is, these are magical beasts, not animals. Speak to animals would not work on them, I think, by my reading of the rules. Things with with Int 1-2 don't have a language, so Tongues would not work. Frankly the Core rules offer very little that will work. But let me give it a shot.}]
Zeoll whispers to his friends, "I have not prreparred any spell that will let me talk with these crreaturres. Let me trry to furrtherr bend it to my will thrrough my drruidic arrts. Torros, if you think yourr potion might worrk, we can trry it."
Wild Empathy (with a -4 penalty to affect a magical beast): 24.
Winterglade Friday August 24th, 2007 8:03:42 AM
The centaur is watching Flat-top's antics. "And exactly who forced you to approach them and do a mating dance? Try to tapdance out of there, maybe they'll let you go unhindered. Oh, and be sure to check if one of them has a cursed item you can get stuck with."
"Winterglade doesn't know if Tongues will work. They seem to be just animals, not capable of speech."
"Come on, let's take a look around the part of the island without bugs. Maybe we'll be lucky and find a natural hole in the stone we can use to collect acid." Winterglade starts to look around, taking care not to approach the ankhegs [Taking10 on Search: 11].
Moshushi Friday August 24th, 2007 11:20:21 AM
"I wonder what they eat. Maybe they can be hired with food. Hopefully, they know of the legendary chewiness of liontaurs. Nothing like succulent centaurs or spicy minotaurs."
Brahmah Friday August 24th, 2007 11:35:55 AM
The ranger is simply too tired to care, and lays back on a flat stone and is fast asleep in minutes.
Kael Friday August 24th, 2007 12:13:14 PM
Kael looks on at the scattering group, and recalls someone mentioning a means of communication. "Toros is it? Could you use the Philter to convince them to supply us with acid? As for the Basin why don't we see what the Captain has on board the ship? I may have a solution if we come up short, but it will be tricky." Kael looks to the buggers, wondering what they had intended to do on the rocks if the group hadn't interrupted them.
"I'm sure if we get what we need I can brew us up something pretty potent."
[ooc:sorry bout the missed days, got called out of town]
Toros Friday August 24th, 2007 1:06:24 PM
"Yes, lets try the philter to see if it works. I am not that good at talking to the animals anyway, so if any one wants to give a try, here is the potion specially created for this..."
Toros offers his philter to any Chosen that may want to try speaking with these creatures.
Zeoll Friday August 24th, 2007 2:17:51 PM
"Since this one at least seems frriendly towarrd me, let me trry the philterr, frriend Torros."
He does so, and asks the creature to come with him.
Smokin' (with Philters) - DM Donna Friday August 24th, 2007 5:56:08 PM
Flat-top's behavior is fascinating the ankhegs, but it is Zeoll's use of the Philter that seems to bring about a break-through in communications. Somehow it appears that the ankhegs understand what it is that the liontaur is requesting of them, and--miraculously!--they actually communicate back:
Zeoll Highlight to display spoiler: {We have seen one like you in the rest-time, yes... the oldest of the ankhegs communicates to Zeoll in its clicking tongue, pointing to Zeoll, then Flat-top and then the snoozing Brahmah, ...one who is like you...and you...and you...but all as one, not as three. This one fills our minds even now...this one says to give you the meltwater that we use to hunt. This one warns that it must be done for you before highsun, for you and your kind have things to do before highsun. We will help...you must show us where to leave the meltwater.}
The only thing that the rest of the group hears is the clicking of one of the bigger ankhegs, which proceeds to wave one of its large appendages at Zeoll and then at Flat-top, and then at Brahmah as well.
Glade finds a nearby boulder that (oh, lucky, lucky Chosen!!!) has a depression in the top...it forms a natural stone oval "sink" of sorts, about five feet long by maybe one-and-a-half feet wide. It looks to be maybe six inches at its deepest point, four or so inches on the average, sloping up to shallower depths at the outer edges of the oval.
Flat-top Saturday August 25th, 2007 8:49:31 AM
Flat-top eyes widdens as big as his shield "Mating Dance?? You mean to say, that's a female?? And want to mate with a Centaur?? I didn't think I was that good a dancer."
"Glade! Do something! These kind of Species?? Don't they BITE their mates heads off after mating??" Ask Flat-top.
"Captain! Wake up and do something!! She getting getting closer!!" Cries the Center. (and I mean CRIES, Big Baby!)
Winterglade Sunday August 26th, 2007 3:08:25 AM [Mosushi:] "I wonder what they eat."
"Yeah, Winterglade was wondering, too. Most probably fish. But we won't know until we see them go hunting or actually have to cut one up."
[Kael:] "As for the Basin why don't we see what the Captain has on board the ship?"
"Actually, that might not be neccessary. Come and take a look at this!" - the centaur points to the small altar-like stone he has just found. "Looks like Gargul prepared everything for our arrival. Will this stone do?"
The centaur then slowly trots over to Flat-top. "Winterglade thinks it's mantes that snack on heads." - he says, without much conviction in his voice. "Tell you what, let's not stick around to find out? Zeoll seems to be doing great by himself. Come, help us with the sword. Try to back away with me, no sudden moves."
Flat-top Sunday August 26th, 2007 6:46:15 AM
Flat-top who is still swetting, answers Winterglade, "I'm with you, Pal1 Grab my tail and lead the way!"
If Winterglade does grab flat-top tail, Flat-top will back out as Winterglade lead the way.

Kael Examines the basin. "This should suit our needs. How are we coming along with acquiring the creature's acid?"
Zeoll Monday August 27th, 2007 2:55:29 PM
The liontaur bows down, honoring a higher power that has taken him by surprise. He stands and nods to the magical beasts. "It will be as you say, helpful ones," he tells them.
Turning to his fellow Chosen, Zeoll says, with amazement in his voice, "It's a mirracle! Domi has inspirred these crreaturres to help us! They have seen a Unitaurr in drreams! They will give us the acid we need."
He is glad that Winterglade has found a suitable place. He motions to the youngest and oldest of these creatures. (The youngest is the one he had sung to.) "Please place the meltwater here, in this hollow," he asks.
"Stand back, frriends. I do not want them starrtled orr you all splashed!"
Kael Monday August 27th, 2007 6:09:06 PM
Heeds Zeoll's advice and steps back from the basin, well out of splash range.

"Amazing. Winterglade would have never thought it would be possible for these creatures to rise to this level of abstract thinking. Something for you to think about next time you are about to lay it into an unsuspecting umber hulk or some such..."
Flat-top Tuesday August 28th, 2007 6:59:57 AM

"Actually, Winterglade was considering holding on to it until we leave the island. This way you won't run off and get into trouble."
Moshushi Tuesday August 28th, 2007 8:55:25 AM
"Why let go when we leave the island? he can get into trouble on the ship..."

Gecktar smiles at the amusing ones "Now get away from this area. If they are going to spit their acid, noone should stay around" he says while retreating.
Zeoll Tuesday August 28th, 2007 10:33:33 AM
The druid agrees with Glade: "This behaviorr is well beyond what I would expect. But I think it is in larrge measurre because they have been inspirred by Domi."
Brahmah Tuesday August 28th, 2007 11:31:10 AM
"These creatures are unique."
Kael Tuesday August 28th, 2007 3:53:21 PM
"Yep, That they are."
DM Donna (Still OOC) Tuesday August 28th, 2007 7:22:24 PM
I seem to be experiencing difficulties with my email addresses because I have not received emails from either Toros nor Brahmah.
Players for Toros & Brahmah, please send me an email to both my AOL and my GMail addresses. It's important.
Toros Tuesday August 28th, 2007 11:02:04 PM
Toros is happy that his philter has worked well and they could communicate with these beautiful bugs. Talk of Unitaur specially excites him.
Toros - Tunc Tuesday August 28th, 2007 11:04:03 PM
Dear Donna, I have sent the email, sorry for delay and hope you receive this time.
Winterglade Wednesday August 29th, 2007 2:37:36 AM
"Why does Winterglade get this strange feeling that Vargas and his company will spring from behind a rock and try to stop us for one last time in a second or so? Ugh, he's going paranoid."
Flat-top d20+4=14 Wednesday August 29th, 2007 7:06:33 AM
"You know ! Winterglade, I almost forgotten about that Bad Seed, Now there's something else to look out for!" said Flat-top as he looks around. As if those Bad Seeds will jump out at them at any time now.

Brahmah Wednesday August 29th, 2007 12:53:43 PM
Brahmah waits patiently on his flat warm stone.
Kael Wednesday August 29th, 2007 1:55:00 PM
Kael pours himself an ale and watches the bug wrangling.
Back to the Story - DM Donna Wednesday August 29th, 2007 4:53:04 PM OOC: thank you, everyone, for sending the requested emails. Hopefully the problems with my email service providers is solved now.
The ankhegs acknowledge that they must render their assistance, but they haven't been told how to do that. Apparently they are waiting for instructions on what is expected of them--instructions that have to come directly from the Chosen.
Vern points out that the theory so far is that any acid the Chosen manage to harvest is supposed to get brewed into an even more potent form, and that will take Kael some time to do.
Kael also needs to post the "acid harvesting" procedures he prefers--as in where will the acid be kept before it's brewed, since the obvious "after" location is that natural sink the Chosen was luck to find.
And, now that Winterglade has been so kind as to mention it, there is still a group of bad guys out there somewhere that are determined to get their hands on this sword.
Kael Wednesday August 29th, 2007 5:18:38 PM
[ooc: never having brewed acid I thought the basin was enough for the process]
Kael heads back to the boat to see if there are any suitable containers for acid, looking for heavy wooden barrels. If lacking those he will gather up glass bottles and jars.
Moshushi Wednesday August 29th, 2007 11:53:36 PM
Kael, ale me!
Gecktar Thursday August 30th, 2007 2:43:20 AM "There should be marmites on boards. Else how will they prepare meal for so many people. I think we could head to get that back." he says while following Kael.
And answering Glade about his bad feeling "You're right, they use to be at the worst place at the worst moment. We should stay alert."
Gecktar follows Kael to get back to the ship trying to come back with something that would help brewing.
Winterglade Thursday August 30th, 2007 4:10:57 AM
Winterglade helps with carrying the required equipment to the island. He does his best to avoid having to put his hoof on the ship - instead he helps to pull stuff up the cliff using ropes. "Let's try to get this over with before it gets dark. Any ship approaching the island will be spotted by us long before it lands, but there are such things as Teleport..."
Flat-top Thursday August 30th, 2007 6:19:07 AM
Flat-top tries to remember if there's any real danger in store for his two friends(??) Or if there's more danger here among the springs?
He will ask his Captain, "Captain! I think that there's more danger going back to the Ship! I mean in meeting up with the Evil gang! Would it not be a good idea to send, at least one fighter with them? Like Toros or Me?"
Flat-top waits for an answer from his Captain Brahmah.
Brahmah Thursday August 30th, 2007 11:36:00 AM
"Agreed. No one is returning to the ship alone or in small number. The sword must be destroyed first before we return."
Kael Thursday August 30th, 2007 12:57:07 PM
"If we don't have the supplies how are we to destroy the sword?"
Zeoll Thursday August 30th, 2007 3:18:02 PM
Zeoll asks Kael, "Do you need tools to enchant the acid? If so, then let thrree of us escorrt you back to the ship. Otherrwise, let us do what we can herre and be done! Maybe you will not need yourr usual tools, orr maybe they will be prrovided."
"Afterr all, mirracles arre afoot!"
Kael Thursday August 30th, 2007 4:09:16 PM
[ooc: It was never exactly made clear to me as a player what is involved in this brewing process. Am I using magic, or more mundane means? My character may know, but me as a player has no clue.Should I make something up or do you have something in mind?]
Strange Brew - DM Donna d100=47 Thursday August 30th, 2007 6:14:01 PM
Kael's knowledge of brewing (and the properties of acid) confirm that he must use glass vessels in order to sufficiently concentrate the acid; he remembers that there are such containers on board the ship (specifically in the galley, as well as the captain having an item or two that should come in handy for the brewing process.)
Kael & his escort fetch forth the items needed to begin the brewing process. The first step is to make the ankhegs understand that they must direct their acid spit (ewwww!) into the large-ish fishbowl that used to be in the captain's cabin.
The ankhegs are still in a cooperative mood. Zeoll must make them understand exactly where they need to aim. (Please make another Animal Empathy check, Zeoll; the DC to beat is 15. Failure means there's a 25% chance that the ankhegs accidentally destroy a non-magical item that their acid lands on [the exterior of someone's backpack...a waterskin...you get to pick the item, really--it's an RP opportunity].)
Kael must roll another Brew check versus DC18 in order to make sure he's creating the acid at an effective enough strength.
Everyone in the party must roll a Spot check and a Listen check (both versus DC18); the results of successful checks will be posted tomorrow.
Zeoll (26 of 43 hp) d20+6=13 d6=4 d20+6=14 d6=4 d100=82 d20+6=13 d4=1 d20=17 d20+6=19 Thursday August 30th, 2007 6:32:06 PM
Zeoll does his best to make himself understood ... Wild Empathy check 13 -- d'oh! One youngster misunderstands, and sprays Zeoll's pack with burning acid! It burns through the leather and etches the large steel mirror that Flat-top gave him a while back, when we were worried about medusas, or something.
Zeoll makes light and tries again: a 14! This time his belt pouch takes a blow, and along with it, 82 gold pieces worth of pearls are dissolved!
Zeoll forces himself to laugh, haha, and tries again: so close! Another 13 -- and the misunderstandings just pile up! He waves his hand, and one ankheg sprays the liontaur's hand! That gives Zeoll an ouchie (17 hp worth of ouch!) and this time it is his brand new signet ring that Brahmah just gave him! Gosh darn it!
"I'm sorrry, Brrahmah," Zeoll says, blushing.
"Well, fourrth time pays all, I always say," grins Zeoll through clenched teeth. And at last his perserverence pays off, with a 19, and the ankhegs finally get the gist of what they are to do.
"Thank Domi," mutters Zeoll, and never was so brief a prayer also so heartfelt!
Winterglade d8+5=10 d8+5=6 d8+5=9 d20+5=7 d20+5=10 Friday August 31st, 2007 3:01:54 AM
"Yes, yes. Very impressive. You made it think you wanted a new hairdo." Once the acid is no longer flying in the air Winterglade trots over to Zeoll and does what he can to ease the sting of the burns [CLW over Bless and Endure Elements heals 19 damage to Zeoll]. Looking back at high-strung Flat-top the centaur takes a mental note: Must remember to try not to wind him up that much in the future. Now he'll be jumping at shadows all night.
[Listen 7, Spot 10.]
Flat-top d20+6=25 d20+6=16 Friday August 31st, 2007 6:54:38 AM
Flat-top sees it (the acid) but cannot move out of the way fast enough, "OUCH!" Yells the Centaur, taking out his flask of water to wash the acid away.
"Look what what they did Zeoll? almost erace the tattoo our Captain gave me!!" he said as he rubs the hurting spot!

Kael arranges his tools as Zeoll painfully gather the acid from the bugs. Once an adequate amount has been harvested the minotaur sets to work (Prof:Brewing = 23).
Zeoll d20+19=35 Friday August 31st, 2007 10:08:02 PM
The liontaur sings a song of thanks to the creatures who have aided them. Perform 35. He leads them away from the brewing, in case there is any danger.
Flat-top Saturday September 1st, 2007 6:39:35 AM
OCC to Captain Brahmah.
You know that and Ceil knows that, But Flat-top is about to learn That little piece of information.
Flat-top washes away the splash acid and the Tattoo is still there?? Just as bright as ever.
Flat-top look again at the (now) clean skin "Maybe I should clean my Tattoos more often!"
Brahmah Saturday September 1st, 2007 6:52:06 AM

Winterglade Monday September 3rd, 2007 11:05:51 AM
"All right. Looks like we are almost done anyway" - the centaur says hopefully, not knowing if distilling the acid won't take the better part of the night.
Moshushi Monday September 3rd, 2007 11:33:33 AM
Sorry i disappeared briefly, particularly as I was planning on casting protection from energy (acid) on whoever was gathering the acid. Oops.
Moshushi will offer the spell to any one person working with the acid.
Brahmah Monday September 3rd, 2007 11:59:01 AM
The ranger is growing rather bored with the proceedings. He chucks a pebble at the box containing the sword. Then another. And another. "The end is nigh, you piece of slag!" He smiles.
Watching and Waiting...and Brewing, Woo Hoo! - DM Donna Monday September 3rd, 2007 7:12:43 PM DM OOC: d'oh! Didn't mean to miss Friday's post--I was busy in Real Life.
In spite of all the erroneous spit-takes, Zeoll manages to get the ankhegs to aid in producing enough acid for Kael to work with--the sun has definitely sunk below the horizon before the group's resident brewer is able to announce that he has managed to create enough premium-grade, industrial-strength acid for the ceremony that the Chosen (and Vern) will be performing on the morrow.
With all the eyes and ears keeping very careful watch, there are no surprises for the Chosen--if there had been anyone or anything even thinking of sneaking up on the group, most of you would have seen or heard it!
Fortunately, however, there is naught but blessed peace...for now.
Okay...which PCs will have what watch?
Brahmah Monday September 3rd, 2007 7:44:12 PM
"Slightly different watches tonight. Three hour watches. I'll split shift."
First, Zeoll, Vern, Kael, Brahmah. Second, Mo, Flat-top, Gecktar. Last, Glade, Toros, Brahmah. (Any suggestions for watch swapping are more than welcome. I realized after making the watches that they were only six hours, but I wanted more support per shift.)
Maybe this set is better? Four hour shifts. Darn you spell casters! I wanted the ritual members to get the most rest possible. 1)Brahmah, Toros 2)Flat-top, Gecktar
If necessary, Brahmah will stay up all night on watch. He will take all watches.
Prepared Spells: (if able to prepare) Alarmx2, Pro from Acid
Note: Alarm will be cast using the Rod of Lesser Extend at the beginning of First Watch.
(OOC: Friends, please tell me in your next post what 'tattoos' and distinguishing markings your PC's have please. I'm making notes and would like this info. Thanks. :))
Zeoll Tuesday September 4th, 2007 12:55:37 AM
Zeoll takes a watch and then rests as Brahmah suggests.
Zeoll, by the way, is notable for the feathers, beads, and bells woven in his mane and tail, for his greatsword, for his beautiful cloak, for the living wreath of leaves and berries that grows on his head, and for two tattoos (0 level and 1st level).
Gecktar Tuesday September 4th, 2007 3:13:54 AM
Gecktar takes his turn but is soon awaken. His needs of rest are little. But he takes time to meditate and pray Domi to learn his daily spells.
------------------------ Create Water Detect Magic Light Purify Food and Drink Read Magic ------------------------ Bless Detect Evil Divine Favor Obscuring Mist Sanctuary (d) Inflict Light wounds ------------------------ Bull's Strength Resist Energy Silence Spiritual Weapon ------------------------ Dispel Magic Magic circle against Evil Magic Vestment (d) Wind Wall ------------------------ Air Walk Divination Divine Power (d)
Gecktar has only one tatoo (1st level) on his shoulder, he also wears a strange breast plate made of some creature shell and there is a flaoting shield near him. Nothing else a cleric of Domi will not usually wear.
Winterglade Tuesday September 4th, 2007 3:52:36 AM
The centaur is visibly very glad to spend a night on a firm ground for a change and does not seem to be looking forward to boarding the ship. He is quiet during the first half of the evening watch, dozing off while standing as is his custom. He spends the rest of the night awake, patiently working on his most recent project, a dark grey cloak [putting eight more hours of work into Setanos's Robes].
Winterglade has recently taken to wearing heavy plate armour, but he still covers most of his person with a large traveling cloak. His most prominent distinguishing features would be his huge shield and his white mane. Aside from an utility knife he doesn't carry weapons. He has no tattoos.
Brahmah Tuesday September 4th, 2007 7:18:59 AM
Seemingly happy, so far, with the watch set up, Brahmah will talk and lounge about.
Kael Tuesday September 4th, 2007 1:40:37 PM
Kael takes a watch if required, but makes sure to get enough rest to replenish his mind.
Kael is an older minotaur with a long braided beard and an ever present ornate pipe. He has no tattoos, but a few minor scar from past adventures.
Spells to be memorized. 0 -- Detect Magic, Mage Hand, Message, Light 1st- Unseen Servant, Enlarge Person, Shield, Endure Elements 2nd -- Invisibility, Bull Strength, Mirror Image, See Invisible 3rd -- Haste, Lightning Bolt, Gaseous Form,
Toros Tuesday September 4th, 2007 3:26:05 PM
Toros takes his watch as Brahmah suggests. When he rests, he has a sleep busy with dreams full of bugs that split acid everywhere..!
Toros - appearance note Tuesday September 4th, 2007 3:32:33 PM
Toros is a mid-sized wemic. His torso is full of items and equipment that also hide his tattoo at the moment.
Moshushi Tuesday September 4th, 2007 7:04:01 PM
Moshushi is happy to know we'll be leaving soon. He'll swap out all other third level spells for protection from energy in the morning
He's a dark maned liontaur with some prominent scars on his chest and arms that look to be old claw marks, though they're generally covered by a cloak. He's rather scrawny by wemic standards but still carries a large sword on his back.
Ever Watchful - DM Donna d20=17 Tuesday September 4th, 2007 9:16:16 PM
The cloak of night descends upon the island. The cooperative ankhegs retire for the evening. Stars twinkle peacefully in the heavens. Little animals go about the business of hunting...or being hunted.
The watches pass by uneventfully (hooray!)
The sunfinally pokes up over the horizon, shining bright and clear.
DM OOC: if you have any last minute preparations or specific spells or the like that you need to make sure is available to your PC (if applicable), then post it! My next post will advance the time to when the Chosen are following the directions they've gleaned about the rhyming prophecy.
Fla-top Wednesday September 5th, 2007 8:22:17 AM
Flat-top is almost ivisable, if it was not for the color of his hide, every bode would thinck that he was noe with them.
Zeoll Wednesday September 5th, 2007 1:01:09 PM
When Kael is working on the acid, Zeoll will help to the extent that bard lore and magic crafting might be useful.
Then he is eager to bring the sword to its end!
Brahmah d20+12=30 Wednesday September 5th, 2007 1:37:22 PM
Boredom couldn't take the ranger any further this morning. Brahmah wakes from an early nap, sees that things are fine and progressing slowly, then he rolls back over and falls right back to sleep. This week has been very long, boring and drawn out for Brahmah. He can't wait until they can leave. It just seems to be taking a little too long... almost like Rebbe is drawing it out for some reason. Maybe its just mistrust and paranoia, but there's just something too weird about this whole sorted affair. He clinches his hilts tight, shaking himself fully awake but not opening his eyes. His ear is alert and listening. (Listen 30, plus ranger favored enemies.)
Gecktar Wednesday September 5th, 2007 5:03:40 PM
Gecktar will help Kael if necessary, else he will prepare the meal. They will have to gather some strength for the upcoming ritual...
Moshushi Wednesday September 5th, 2007 5:18:28 PM
Moshushi will see if Gecktar needs a hand. If not, he'll find a nice rock to use as a seat and keep his eyes open for company. It may appear to the untrained eye that he's sunbathing, but he's actually being diligent
Kael Wednesday September 5th, 2007 5:50:21 PM
The acid is ready. Kael waits for the next step of the process.
[ooc: I will you unseen servant to pour the acid into the stone basin when the time comes so that no one has to risk being burned again.]
DM Donna Wednesday September 5th, 2007 10:41:08 PM
Vern prepares the natural basin that was discovered earlier, praying and chanting over it as the Chosen keep watch over the site.
Toros Thursday September 6th, 2007 3:29:05 AM
After a good night, Toros tries to be useful for anything needed by the Chosen in the day, while the preparations continues.
Winterglade Thursday September 6th, 2007 3:46:34 AM
The centaur is awake to see the sun rise over the horizon. With no place for his morning run he will have to do with the powers that he has left from before boarding the ship.
"Here we are, under the sun of the clear sky. Shall we begin?"
Flat-top Thursday September 6th, 2007 7:37:24 AM
Flat-top still stands there waiting for things to happen, but will look around to see if Hayou has not gotten in trouble.
Brahmah Thursday September 6th, 2007 10:59:39 AM
Thankful someone has actually said what he's thinking, Brahmah sits up and looks at Glade. "Yes, can we? Please? I want off this rock."
The Time Draws Nigh - DM Donna Thursday September 6th, 2007 11:14:08 AM
Kael sees Vern signal to him and has that Unseen Servant pour the industrial strength acid into the basin. The redheaded cleric begins to chant and pray. Everyone present becomes aware of a creeping sort of change to the very atmosphere--the nature of the divine magic being invoked, no doubt.
The anticipation of the coming event is rather palpable--the sun is at its highest point in the sky.
"Quickly now--" Vern says, "--put the blade into the basin..!"
Who will remove the sword from its box and put it into the acid..?
Brahmah Thursday September 6th, 2007 1:55:00 PM
Brahmah is the first to the box. "Will someone please hold my weapons? I would like to do this, if there are objections, please state them now." He unstraps his scabbards and belt and hands them off. "No, wait! On second thought." He looks at Flat-top and smiles. "I think you owe this sword, Flat-top. It controlled you and this will be ironic revenge. Will you do it?"
Moshushi Thursday September 6th, 2007 4:38:10 PM
Protection of energy (acid) for whoever is the lucky one to dunk the sword.
"The sword controlled him? Are we sure it won't do it again?"
Gecktar Friday September 7th, 2007 2:56:39 AM
Gecktar prays to Domi for Him to protect them againt all evil. "Domi will protect the one that will be wielding the sword. I will put the Bless of Domi on him"
OOC: 1) Casting Circle of Protection from Evil. Gecktar will stay in range of the one who wield the sword ; 2)Gecktar will use his protection domain ability granting +7 on a save to the one that will wield the sword.
Flat-top Friday September 7th, 2007 7:11:06 AM
Flat-top steps back in suprise?? "Me! Touch that evil thing again??" Then a smile crosses his face, "But what a revenge to put that evil thing in the acid!"
The center turns to Zeoll to ask him a favor, "Zeoll, if you please hypmatise me with the sugestion of puting this sword into the acid! I don't want to use it on any one! Like the last time! If I do swing that sword, Kill Me!"
With this said Flat-top will approch the box, touch his tattoo (of Protetion from Evil), then bends over the gleeming Black Sword. He will pick up the Black Sword. Now to make his way to the acid??
Zeoll Friday September 7th, 2007 7:53:41 AM
"That's a good idea, Flat-top!" Zeoll casts Charm Person on Flat-top, and follows up with a Suggestion spell -- and he explains again to the charmed centaur exactly what he needs to do.
Then he says a prayer to Tomi and stands back.
Brahmah Friday September 7th, 2007 12:47:44 PM
"Oh, you better believe it did Kael. It wasn't really part of the plan, but it ended up with us in the end." He moves over to Flat-top, fastening his scabbards on again. Then draws his swords. "It seems to dislike magic users, arcanists really. But I'll be the first body Flat-top will encounter before anyone of of you." He interposes himself between Flat-top and the group. "Trust me, if the sword controls him again, I'll lay on some hurtin' before he reaches you." He smirks at the looks, "Don't worry, your captain will come out of this in good shape!" He winks and laughs. "Ready Flat-top, Zeoll? Oh yes, anyone with a Hold Person, ready it and target Flat-top when its clear he is possessed, if it happens."
Prepared Spells: (if able to prepare, *cast) Alarmx2**, Pro from Acid
Kael Friday September 7th, 2007 1:02:05 PM
Kael steps back from the basin assuring that there is in fact a chosen or two in between him and Flat-Top, and readies his great ax.
Cayzle OOC Friday September 7th, 2007 7:24:56 PM
Friends, note that Donna had to reinstall windows on her laptop and there might be a little delay. Just to let you know.
(Donna, please do delete this once you are back!)
Toros Friday September 7th, 2007 9:31:36 PM
The wemic hopes the sword will finally be destroyed without any more mind control or acid splash. He watches the whole thing silently from a bit distance.
Winterglade Saturday September 8th, 2007 8:36:14 AM
The centaur is standing a bit away from the Taurs gathered around the basin, his face showing that he is very disturbed. "You would invoke revenge in a moment like this? Whom do you serve, the Brawler or Jancassis?..."
Flat-top Saturday September 8th, 2007 9:02:10 AM
After a little pause, Flat-top Plunges the blade of the Black sword into the acid!! The sword yells (through the mouth of Flat-top) "NO! NO! Don't do this to Me! I'll grant you Super Powers!"
You hear a 'Hsss' sosound as it start to disapere in the acid. "Your a fool to think that these taurs are your friends! They'll leave you to Die the first chance they geTTT Heeelp Meeee!"
Finally, Flat-top lets go of the hilt of sword, Now the evil sword disapears disapears into the well earned death!.
Flat-top turns to Brahmah, "Captain! I think I did the deed? I was fighting a terrible demond, But I think I did it.?"

He torns to Brahmah, "Ok! the deed is done. No More Black sword is distroyed. I Don't know who put a silence spell on it, but it help alot!"
Now Flat-top turns to Brahmah and ask, "Where to now Captain? Back home?"

"I'm not particular about where we go, so long as it's away.
Good job Flat Top!"
Zeoll Tuesday September 11th, 2007 11:32:39 AM
Zeoll watches closely -- Did Flat-top dissolve the sword, or did he only THINK he did? Could this be a trick? Zeoll pays VERY close attention. He activates his new Tattoo of Detect Evil to help him sense when the evil of the Sword is at last at an end!
Brahmah Tuesday September 11th, 2007 1:13:56 PM
Silent spell? Trick?
These words float aimlessly in the minotaur's brain, creaking and turning, cogs moving.
Did the sword seem like it was the REAL black sword or a replica? How interesting? Why did this JUST occur to the minotaur. Stupid!
He turns to Rebbe. Looks at Rebbe's gear and turns back to the mysterious person who just seemed to appear when the sword needed to be destroyed.
"Rebbe, where is the black sword." He stands and approaches Rebbe, swords still drawn. "Call me paranoid, but it seems awfully odd that that sword did nothing, NOTHING, to fight its way free. And it just so happens this ritual to silence to 'lock' the evil could ONLY happen after a period of time and out of the way on a remote island?"
He turns to the Chosen. "Did anyone actually SEE Rebbe put the Black Sword into the box back on land? Seems quite convienient that we're out of the way and the sword did nothing to try to escape all the time it was on the ship."
"Where was the hand off made? Mainland? The ship? Somewhere in between?"
He lets his statements sink in, silence filling the air.
(Gosh, I feel like the fool!)

"Um, Captain. There was an omen from Gargul himself at the conclusion of the first ceremony this two-legs performed with us. These things can't be faked, of this Winterglade is certain."

"Oh! My Gosh!"said Flat-top, as his face goes pail,"I remember kicking the box just before the Black Sword went silence?? Do you think some how Somebody switch the sword?? OH! Oh! Were going to be in trouble now??"
Flat-top is really swetting Now! with those Out Law Centers on the lose.
Brahmah Wednesday September 12th, 2007 12:21:10 PM
He looks at Glade, "I think I missed the omen." He says.
Winterglade Wednesday September 12th, 2007 1:01:32 PM
"You missed it? The time when the moon turned into an eye? How the furballs all around us were freaking out - more than usual, that is?" The centaur starts running around in small circles, waving his hands over his head, trying to give his best impression of a panicked wemic. "OhMyGodsOhMyGodsOhMyGods theSkyIsFalling theWoldIsEnding theGodsAreDying whatAreWeGoingToDo whatAreWeGoingToDo whatAreWeGoingToDo?!"
Zeoll Wednesday September 12th, 2007 1:04:13 PM
The liontaur watches Glade and smiles, but the centaur's last impression is too much! Zeoll chuckles, then falls over.
"Oh! Oh-ho! Winterrglade, you missed yourr calling! You'rre a naturral at Perrforrming Comedy!"
Kael Wednesday September 12th, 2007 2:09:51 PM
They wouldn't have, Kael thinks as he overhears the conversation about a potential sword swap. They would have made sure before traveling all the way out here....right?
Gecktar Wednesday September 12th, 2007 5:52:57 PM
Gecktar open wide his eyes while looking at Glade's performance
Moshushi Wednesday September 12th, 2007 7:05:24 PM
Mosh is slackjawed, staring at Winterglade, then back at Brahmah, then back at Winterglade
Flat-top Thursday September 13th, 2007 7:30:44 AM
Crosses his arms across his chest, "Glade!" the center calls out, "If you don't stop that sillyness! The Captain here will go and give you akiss!"
To the captain Brahmah, he wispers 'You better Get ready to Kiss him if he does not Stop! That should shock him back into th real wold! I'd do it my self But your in my way." Flat-top smiles at Brahmah.
Brahmah Thursday September 13th, 2007 8:20:08 AM
"Oh yah, that omen."
"There will be no kisses from me!"
Kael Thursday September 13th, 2007 11:54:28 AM
Takes a quick nip from this flask.
