Weeeeeee'rrrrrreeeee Heeeeerrrrrrreeeeee Tuesday November 6th, 2007 8:29:01 PM Winterglade welcomes Flat-top's invitation to his mothers house for a home cooked meal. He also while fidgeting nervously, suggests that they keep a low profile and he asks that everyone now call him Goodbarrel.
Zeoll makes friends with his scrawny but cute new squid friend and decides to call him Lucky. He agrees to call Glade by his new assumed name and recommends that they dock in town.
Brahmah asks Captain Heartson if he has ever met or killed a Centaur pirate. Capt Heartson replies "I have met many a Centaur pirate in my line of work but I have never been asked to capture one. One of the things we have to play at is being friends with the pirates, we gain their trust then infiltrate, capture them and return them to whoever holds the bounty, that is of course as long as the bounty is not held by a pirate or scoundrel or anything else of the sort. And well, if they run from me well then I just have to sink the buggers"
Flat-top also agrees to Glade's name change and he says that the invitation is still good. He then says to Glade "From now on your my Friend Goodbarrel! HEE HEE!" and laughs jovially.
About mid day the ship docks in the town and soon thereafter an official looking Centaur boards and speaks with Captain Heartson. Any of the Chosen standing nearby can hear the conversation. "I am sorry Captain but we have had some trouble as of late" the centaur does not look to pleased to be the one having to pass on this information "There has been some trouble recently and every ship coming in must be inspected, passengers, crew and cargo, nothing and no one is allowed to leave the ship until the guards have been able to go through it" he looks around at the crew and the gathered Chosen then turns back to Captain Heartson and says "I am sure you can see we are a bit backed up but I am sure we can get someone here first thing in the morning. If it was not you Captain it would possibly be days before someone came. You are a good man to us we will see what we can do for you to make things go faster but as much as I trust you I cannot change the rules I am sorry."
Captain Heartson replies good naturedly to the centaur "No harm done I am sure we can make use of our time and rules are rules" having said that he turns to the Chosen and the crew and says "Well we are stuck here for the night and as we are not sailing, drink 'er up boys, as the saying goes. We shall have a feast and a party in honour of ...uhm.... well you deserve it have fun" he smiles as the crew cheers and break up into smaller groups to do various things from drinking to gaming "Oh and before you drink too much how about some of you help Ox out in the galley there is a lot of food to cook and make sure you also cater to the appetites of our guests" he then turns to the companions and says "May as well make the most of a free night they will be hard at work tomorrow unloading this ship" Before any of the crew get too light headed Capt Heartson orders Beybo to set the watch. Brealla approaches Zeoll and says "Can you sing some more songs tonite for us" she gives him her best smile. She then asks Flat-top"When we get off the ship can you give me a ride pleassssseeeeeeee?"
OOC you guys always have us laughing over something Goodbarrel thats too funny makes me thing of a keg lol and Zeoll you totally threw us way back at the beginning when you kidnapped poor Capt Heartson. Thanks for being such a great group please don't change oh and Brahmah can you imagine the looks the crew had for the bear wandering the decks hehe
Winterglade Wednesday November 7th, 2007 5:26:03 AM
[Flat-top:] "From now on your my Friend Goodbarrel! HEE HEE!"
"Well, it was either that or Fishbucket. Oh, this stay here is going to be so memorable."
Winterglade makes some preparations before leave is given to walk off the deck. He removes his armor and stows it in his saddlebags. Then he puts his holy symbol under his shirt, out of view. Finally he makes sure his hood can cover his entire face.
"That was easy, but what can be done with this huge, disctinctive, white mane? Hmm... Kael, do you think you have something that could be used to dye hair?"

Brahmah Wednesday November 7th, 2007 2:52:51 PM
"Hey YOU." He points to Glade, refusing to boldly deceive the 'officials'. Whispering, Brahmah says, "Every now and then, scan the docks for evil if you can. Please. We don't anything smuggled ONTO our new friend's ship."
Turning, he sees his bear shambling up, nearly jogging to Brahmah. Takes him a minute to understand why the bear is so thrilled. Then it dawns on him. "Not YOU buddy, him." Points to Glade. "Him I called hey you, not you heyoo." He pats the mangy tangled black bear and laughs. "No leaving the ship yet pal, the dock officials have to look around. No, eating them is bad."
Moshushi Wednesday November 7th, 2007 6:25:47 PM
"if you're a Goodbarrel, shouldn't you be filled with ale? Maybe kael can arrange that..."

Zeoll d20+25=44 Wednesday November 7th, 2007 8:37:40 PM
Zeoll is suspicious about this whole quarantine thing. But even with his new invisibility ring, he is not stealthy enough to sneak off ship and spy around. Instead, he thinks about ways to become sneaky and wonders if he can visit the Catacombs here.
So at the party he sings and plays. He only drinks a little, though.
Perform 44
Party by night Wednesday November 7th, 2007 11:04:40 PM
As the port authority disembarks the ship Heartson issues several orders for a party to be held. It looks as if the rule for no drinking onboard is only for when at sea or for the ones on sentry duty. A few of the crew walk down to help Ox while others setup tables and lights for the party. Some of the Crew head to their beds preparing for a watch later while several kegs of ale are being carried to the deck and broached. With drinks in hand the crew go back to their songs, stories and dice games. Brealla entertains her self with "The Travels of Dravel" a rather old and tattered looking book bound in leather. She tries to find a spot somewhere near Heyoo. Heartson walks off the deck and returns to his room allowing the crew to setup the feast. He soon returns to the deck with a pouch of money and pays his crew. It looks like everyone is happy and having a great time at the impromptu party. Not long after Ox brings up some food and places it on the large tables that where setup, A variety of both meats and greens are served as well and cheeses and a fresh breads. The Chosen are invited to partake in the festive event. Once the food arrives Beybo and several of the other crew sit down to eat. Many of the crew cheer and beg for more as Zeoll entertains them with a splendid song. . Soon Brealla can be found wandering the deck, She is trying to get Brahmah's attention "Captain Sir What kind of food does your bear eat and will it bite me if I go near him" After grabbing a few bites to eat the Captain retires to his cabin taking his niece with him. Listen DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: { Beybo can be heard talking "Wow Brealla has really opened up a lot since these Taur came onboard, I think that she might finally come out of this depression." Ox replies "Ya its great to see her and the Captain happy again. Another Drink Buddy" Ox replies [/i] } As the party continues the volume increases for a while but then quiets down as sailors pass out or go off to bed for the evening After the party dies out there only remains the handful of men remaining on watch Spot DC5 Highlight to display spoiler: {( you count 5) }

Flat-top bend down to whisper into Brealla's ear "It will be a pleasure to give you a ride on My Back! You can ask you Uncle if you can come with me to meet my Mother, Brother and my Brother Heard, you'll be quit safe with us! Now go ask your Uncle!"
Flat-top turns to Glade, "you want to be call WHAT? Good Barrel?? and you waht to Dye your main?? I have some but the color is Blue! It high light my Hair, main and tail! Do you still want the high-light Blue??"
Winterglade d20+5=6 d20+5=22 Thursday November 8th, 2007 11:08:07 AM
[Listen 6. Spot 22]
[Brahmah:] "Every now and then, scan the docks for evil if you can." "Will do, but Winterglade can do that only once tonight. It takes a paladin to be able to do it all night."
[Moshushi:] "If you're a Goodbarrel, shouldn't you be filled with ale?" The centaur grins. "Winterglade's kind of idea. Let's work on it, yes?"
[Flat-top:] "Do you still want the high-light Blue??" "Goodness gractious no, Winterglade would look like an exotic fish. Why do you keep - no, Winterglade's sure he doesn't want to know."
Later, when Winterglade spots Zeoll watching his squid, he tries to comfort the wemic somewhat. "Don't be sad, Zeoll. When Lucky dies Winterglade will help you turn him into a classy set of bagpipes."
Despite the earlier boast the centaur doesn't partake in food and drink too much. He excuses himself from the feast soon and later can be seen on the ballista tower working on his vestment by moonlight [continuing crafting of Setanos's Vestments]. But at dawn he is on deck leaning casually on the railing, ready to scan the authorities coming on board for evil [will use Detect Evil to check the party that comes aboard to inspect the ship. Duration is up to 80 minutes if needed].
Kael Thursday November 8th, 2007 11:50:06 AM

The liontaur will use his tattoo to also scan for evil three times in the night.

Zeoll suggests that the Chosen should set watches as well for the night. Zeoll volunteers either a first watch or a third. And Lucky will watch for enemies coming by sea. Zeoll will sleep on deck so Lucky can come up and wake him if need be.
Gecktar Thursday November 8th, 2007 5:00:46 PM
Gecktar agree with Zeoll. "Sure, I will sleep few hours and then take the full night guard. I need only two hours sleep, so it will not be a problem.
Gecktar meditates for a while and prays Domi to offerhim answers about the trouble in the port
(OOC cast divination to know more about the troubles)
Afterthe ceremony, Gecktar takes some rest and will wake up approximatively two hours later to take the watch during the restof the night.

She runs off below deck with a smile on her face as she tries to catch up to her uncle. > Brahmah, Winterglade and Flat-top begin a conversation about many different topics from hair dye to precautions against attack from the docks. > Kael stops reading and smoking as they reach land, and begins drinking and smoking. grumbling about no drinking while at sea . Hearing him grumble a half drunk sailors says to him "Sir I believe that you are misunderstanding, its only the crew not the passengers that may not drink at sea". The sailor then offers Kael a mug of ale from the table. > Brahmah keeps an eye on the dock always suspicious and ever watchful. (Nothing out of ordinary can be seen so far) > Zeoll uses his tattoo to also scan for evil throughout the festivities and into the night. (again nothing found so far and one attempt is left between now and daylight) > Moshushi wonders if they can teach Heyoo to drink. > Gecktar retreats to a place of quiet, casting divination in hops of learning anything that can help Highlight to display spoiler: { > While you Dreams you sees a dark cloud creeping over the city.

Winterglade Friday November 9th, 2007 1:00:21 AM
Winterglade is standing on the top of the ballista tower, his needle glistening in the moonlight as he sews in an elaborate rune into the garment. A gentle breeze comes in from the port. "Aaah, rotten cabbage, cheap beer, gutters, and something that died in an alley. The smell of civilization."
Flat-top Friday November 9th, 2007 9:32:58 AM
Flat-top is having a Night-Mare, He dreams of running toward the Heard of his Borther where his mother lives. He runs and runs but he is making very little progress. the feeling of dread washes over him. In the distant he hears his mother screem! he hears may centers screem! then all is deathly silence. . .
When he finally arives at his brother heard?? They are all dead, every Centers in that heard lies about. Then in the far horison is that Out Law Centaur, that had slip from their geasp. He laugh at Flat-top. . .
Flat-top wakes up is a sweat, he rums up from the hole, to the railing, facing the wind. "That Night-Mare was muct too real."
Brahmah Friday November 9th, 2007 12:54:21 PM
Upon finding out about the delay, Brahmah makes sure to cast Alarm every chance he gets on critical parts of the ship, his trunk and the captain's quarters being his primary targets. He will notify the captain of the password. (he uses the lesser extend rod) He even sets a snare spell on a rope set on top of his trunk.
Gecktar Friday November 9th, 2007 3:26:50 PM
'this is really a bad omen' he thinks to himself. 'I must share this with all other Chosen. I will infom them in the morning during the breakfast'
Kael Friday November 9th, 2007 4:10:05 PM
Kael understood the rule, but to drink alone is a sad affair. Accepting the brew from the boisterous sailor the minotaur and toast to the sailor's health. For distributing alcohol is the most noble of activities.
Kael overhears Moshushi's agenda to inebriate a bear, it would be quite a sight?
Zeoll Friday November 9th, 2007 6:57:01 PM
When he wakes for the day, Zeoll tries again to detect evil on the ship or within 60 feet of it. He checks in with Lucky .. unless the sad excuse for a squid has brushed up against a barnacle in the night and expired.
He is eager to find out more today.
Early Morning Friday November 9th, 2007 11:35:43 PM
The early morning light just before dawn finds the Chosen... Winterglade climbs the ballista to view the cities sights; he however finds that this city is not like most port cities, smelling of sewage, but rather a living city of manicured and lovingly tended whistal trees. Flat-top wakes from his troubles sleep and goes on deck to feel the wind. Brahmah spends some time securing the area, when he stops to tell Captain Heartson what he is doing the Captain is grateful for the added protection but hopes that it won't be needed. Kael continues to drink with one of the only sailors still awake he offers. Kael another ale"I will drinks to that" he replies Gecktar goes looking for his friends to discuss his dreams. Waking Zeoll casts detect evil on the ship and the immediate area. Zeoll Highlight to display spoiler: { You can sense the presence of evil coming from the waterside of the ship.} Quickly checking with Lucky, He is still alive but have yet to see anything.
Winterglade Saturday November 10th, 2007 8:21:26 AM
Come dawn the centaur puts away his work, blinks a few times, and stretches his arms. There are a few creaking noises. "No place for Winterglade to have his morning run. Pity. Still, most of his power is still intact." Now that the ship is anchored at the harbor and the rolling is just barely perceptible the centaur has grown visibly more comfortable on the deck. "Winterglade wishes he was coming back for good."
Flat-top Sunday November 11th, 2007 8:40:23 AM
Flat-top waits to go ashore, he must find out if his brother'd heard is safe. For once he want a drink, "Kael! Can I have a sip of your Beer? Please!"
Standing at the rail and wishing for a Flaming Green Gowmish!
Brahmah Sunday November 11th, 2007 11:29:46 AM
Brahmah suggests to Glade. "Why not a waterwalk or airwalk spell?" He thinks again. "Better yet, a levitate spell, that way your exercising but not moving." He grins and returns to whatever.
Moshushi Sunday November 11th, 2007 11:29:50 AM
Moshushi spends most of the day pacing about
Zeoll Sunday November 11th, 2007 1:39:22 PM
Zeoll detects evil on the water side of the ship. He immediately concentrates for two more rounds to determine the number, intensity, and location of the evil auras.
Then he casts Speak With Animals and an Extended Summon Nature's Ally II, calling a small water elemental. Being marginally more intelligent than Lucky, and able to speak a language that Zeoll understands, the elemental should be a better scout than Lucky -- not to mention sturdier.
Zeoll commands his squid and the elemental to go check out the auras and report back to him.
The liontaur also alerts all his friends to the possible threat, telling all he knows.
Gecktar Monday November 12th, 2007 8:23:43 AM
Gecktar ears Zeoll's call for potential danger. As reflex he grabs his hammer firmly and come close to Zeoll whispering "Do you have any idea of what it could be. I had a very bad feeling about this place. As if a dark hand was above the entire town."
Gecktar mechanically touches his Holy symbol on his chest. Domi has an eye open for them.
Flat-top Monday November 12th, 2007 8:42:40 AM
Flat-top snaps ot of his day dream when he hears about from Zeoll and Gecthar, "Danger aproching?! Well I needs the excercise any way."

He moves to the waterside of of the ship and keeps vigilant of anything odd, save the creatures Zeoll has placed there.
His bow comes out and is strung in a matter of minutes.
Zeoll d20+10=26 Monday November 12th, 2007 4:12:29 PM
Zeoll tells Gecktar that he does not know anything yet, but give him a second.
As soon as he finishes his detection and gets a report from Lucky or the Water Elemental, he will try to think if he is reminded of any story or bit of lore he may have tucked in his head.
[Bard Lore roll: 26!]
Moshushi Monday November 12th, 2007 8:45:13 PM
"Zeoll, what do you thin is out there? Do you think it's interested in us?"
Suprise Monday November 12th, 2007 11:17:01 PM Zeoll spends some time concentrating to determine the number, intensity, and location of the evil auras. He finds 10 neutral evil auras emanating about 60 ft out on the sea floor. They seem too be moving toward you slowly. The unlikely team of Lucky and the water elemental take off along the sea floor following a quick set of instructions from Zeoll to see what is out there and then come back. Soon as they leave they are reporting back not a few moments later. The elemental reports that you have several horsemen walking along the sea floor. They are moving rather rigidly and at there current pace there should be here in a few minutes at the most. (I will give you 2 rounds to prepare) Brahmah informs the Captain, we might have a situation." He explains what Zeoll knows. The captain heads to ready the few crew members that are capable of handling them self in combat should it be needed. Brahmah then moves to the waterside of the ship and keeps vigilant of anything else decides to take a opportunity here. Kael and Moshushi pace the deck waiting for something to do. Winterglade is still at the top of the ballista platform but can't see anything different about the sea.
OOC Combat is starting. The creatures will reach the boat or under the boat in 2 rounds if unhindered.

Zeoll quickly relays what he now knows, to his friends, and to the Captain and crew.
"To me, they sound like undead, maybe zombies? That's just a guess."
ROUND ONE
Zeoll tells Lucky and the Water Elemental to charge to attack! Then Zeoll casts Summon Nature's Ally II to call 1d3 porpoises. One appears at the top of Round Two.
Lucky (AC14 charging, HP7) Hits AC16 for 0 damage, then grapples as a free action -- a natural 1 -- no grapple.
Water Elemental (AC15 charging, HP16) Hits AC19 for 9
POSITION: Zeoll takes a five foot step back.
ROUND TWO
Zeoll casts the spell again. This time he calls 3 porpoises that will appear at the start of Round Three.
Lucky (AC16, HP7?, grapple DC18) Hits AC21 for 0 damage, then grapples as a free action -- a 25! -- is grappling AND bites for 7 damage and the grappled foe cannot move unless he wins an opposed grapple check (grapple DC18).
Water Elemental (AC17, HP16?) Hits AC18 for 6.
Porpoise 1A (AC13 charging, HP10) Hits AC14 for 5 hp damage.
POSITION: Zeoll takes another five-foot step back -- so that he is ten feet back, on deck, away from the rail on the water side of the ship.
NOTE TO DM: If the undead ignore my aquatic minions, then my minions may get attacks of opportunity as the enemy advances. Just in case the enemy are mindless zombies ordered to attack the ship, and therefore ignore off-ship attackers. On the other hand, if the enemy stops to attack my minions, maybe I've bought us more prep time, or fewer arrive right away. Dm yes Take Attack of opportunity

Winterglade [AC17 (+2 vs evil), HP70(70)] Tuesday November 13th, 2007 5:52:01 AM
[Brahmah:] "Why not a waterwalk or airwalk spell?" "Remember how Winterglade run out of power during the battle at the tomb of the Queen? He doesn't want to give a repeat performance - what's that?" The centaur's ear catches the warning of possible danger. Winterglade looks at himself, all unarmored. "Blast it, Full Moon's Feast again! Attacking in the middle of a night, how bloody rude is that?!"
[1st round] The centaur puts on his shield [move action] and activates a Magic Circle against Evil around him [standard action].
[2nd round] Winterglade moves down from the tower to the deck to join the gathering party [move action] and, once everybody who is going to stand against the incoming foe is present, blesses his allies.
The centaur eyes Brahmah and tries to figure something out in his head. "Winterglade would Enlarge you, but you could go straight through the deck. Want to risk it?"
[Folks, everybody who is within 50 ft of Winterglade at the end of 2nd preparatory round will be under effect of a Bless spell. During combat, everybody who will come within 10 ft of Winterglade will be Protected from Evil. You keep track of that.] --- Magic Circle against Evil: 80 min, Bless: 8 min.
Brahmah (AC 25, Hps 105, Spider Climb, Bless) Tuesday November 13th, 2007 7:33:43 AM Round 1 "I hate undead! Sheesh. Watch the shore, there has to be someone out there controlling them!" [Free Action] Drops bow. [Move Action] Moves closer to where Zeoll suggested they might be, drawing his swords at the same time. [Standard Action] Casts Spider Climb from his tattoo.
Round 2 [Glade]"No enlarge, but water breathing if you have it! Thanks Glade." [Move Action] He steps onto the ships seaside rail and begins walking down the side of the ship. Regardless of water breathing or not, he descends into the water. Highlight to display spoiler: {[Con is 18, Endurance Feat and Diehard]} He commands Heyoo to watch the little girl and defend her until he can't.

rounds 3 Tuesday November 13th, 2007 9:07:14 PM
The Creatures continue their march slowly forward across the murky sea floor towards their goal. They seem to ignore then incoming sea creatures, even while taking blows from both Lucky and the elemental. They press onward towards their goal. Having a second opportunity Lucky and the elemental rain more attacks on the creatures still advancing Lucky quickly entangles one biting down (Tastes foul) while the elemental attacks again striking true battering the same creature again. Porpoise 1A launches a slam like attack smashing into another creature Then several of the creatures, even though being attacked start grabbing for the anchor chain and start climbing up it. The other few creatures now on sea floor below the Fish Hook continue towards the shoreline
Mean while on the deck of the Fish Hook, Brahmah drops his bow on the deck with a dull thud and drawing his swords he moves toward where Zeoll is he also activates Spider Climb from his tattoo collection. About this time several rather annoyed looking sailors start coming onto the deck from the cabins below with Captain Heartson in the lead. They quickly move toward the ballista towers in teams of 4. Captain Heartson moves toward Zeoll and the gathering Chosen. Winterglade straps on his shield, and then joins the gathering party near the center of the deck. Flat-top sets his hooves, and then he also touches his tattoo of light setting himself a blaze with a almost blinding light. Flat-top takes his Morning Star from the Side of his belt and issues some challenges at the undead.
Winterglade asts bless on the defenders and they all watch as Brahmah climbs down the side of the ship and into the water. Gecktar reaches for his shield and lets it float at his side. He calls for the power of Domi to infuse him with the power of Domi as he readies himself. Moshushi takes out his wands and runs looking for a nice human to hide behind.
Summary Creatures 1-2 climbing Anchor Chain -3-4 waiting for space Creature 5-10 wandering toward the shoreline
Winterglade [AC17 (+2 vs evil), HP70(70)] Wednesday November 14th, 2007 5:27:03 AM
"No Water Breathing ready today, sorry. You going down there all alone? Nobody will be able to help you if they hold you down!" As Brahmah steps over the railing the centaur slaps him on the shoulder, infusing him with part of his power [casting Shield of Faith on Brahmah, +3 deflection bonus to AC, will last 8 minutes]. Then Winterglade's attention becomes focused on the creatures trying to climb the anchor chain.
[What kind of creatures exactly are we talking about here? Can we see them? How do they look like? Do they carry any weapons?] --- Magic Circle against Evil: 80 min, Bless: 8 min.
Flat-top (AC 21 - 106hp) Wednesday November 14th, 2007 8:15:57 AM
Flat-top watches the Emerny going toward the Shore and for the Port. "Hey Stupid!! Your going the wrong waYYyy?" Flat-top feels that some thing is playing with the ancher chain??
"Captain!!Don't go down the Anchor Chain! We cannot protec you out of out sight!" shouts Flat-top. But to no avail, Bramah is going down under water any way.
The center mumbles to himself 'Oh! well! Was nice knowing you! You stuben long Horn!' "Good Luck anyway!" was the last word brahmah heard, before going under water.

Zeoll directs the three new porpoises to attack the ones headed for shore. He tells them to gang up on one at a time. Then he casts SNA1 to gain another porpoise.
He urges Gecktar and Marcin to try to turn the ones they can see.
Lucky (AC16, HP7, grapple DC18): Grappling, does auto damage for 4.

Brahmah (AC 28, Hps 105, Spider Climb, Bless, Shield of Faith) d20+8=25 Wednesday November 14th, 2007 2:18:49 PM
The minotaur drops off from the under side of the ship and swims (able to move faster), toward the anchor. Coming up briefly to indicate the number moving to shore and number moving up the chain. "Suggestion Captain! Raise anchor as fast as possible!" He grins, returning to his leisurely swim. Once he reaches the anchor, he reattaches to the hull. (Swim 25 plus Endurance) Can I get a Spot Check from you.. Jon
Gecktar Wednesday November 14th, 2007 2:39:47 PM "We need to catch them on the shore. If they ever penetrate the town they will do a slaughter"
Gecktar moves on the boat to get to the bridge deck and then get down the ship.
Are you trying to get on the dock?? Jon
Turning to look at the captain of the boat "Captain will you be able to control the situation on the boat ?"
"Chosen, innocent people are in great danger, we should help them"
Moshushi Wednesday November 14th, 2007 9:19:21 PM
"we should help them, but need to find out foes first!"
If any pop up, they'll get electrified, unless Brahmah is near them.
Zombie Taur .... Round 4 d20=1 d20=1 d20=18 d20=8 Wednesday November 14th, 2007 10:19:14 PM
Round 4 Winterglade walks over to the railing rather quickly hoping that Brahmah is still on the ship. Seeing him walking along the ships side he quickly slaps his shoulder gifting Shield of Faith on the Minotaur. Brahmah drops off the ship into the water to scout the scene his finds 4 of the creatures climbing onto the chain and several more walking toward the shoreline. The creatures that you can see coming out of the water line are Centaurs (battered and broken looking, with a grey of decay and some bits of flesh are falling off the bone. they do not look to have weapons or armor of any kind. They are climbing slowing as they are going hand over hand with there hooves walking up the side of the ship. The third one that was waiting around starts its walk up the side of the ship as soon as there is room to do so.
As Lucky continues to crush a Zombie Taur while its tries to force his way from Lucky grasp and start up the chain as well although its only grabbing the chain at the moment. (It just beats your Dc Grapple check 18) The army of porpoises, now ordered to attack one target descends on the one creature that is being attacked by the porpoises earlier. Battering into the creature the porpoise's begin to knock its flesh from its frame. The water around it turns a blackish color as gore floats around the grim scene. It continues onward. The water Elemental takes a quick swipe at one of the Zombie Taur leaving the waterline. It does not flinch only continues up the ship. The Zombie Taur creatures that were marching toward the shoreline and the docks starting to also become visible buy climbing up onto the dock using the access ladders on the side. Flat-top watches screams at them hoping for some attention but they do not seam to hear him. Heartson takes Brahmah's advice seeing that no one is available to do so he starts toward the anchor controls. The human crew stands there for a moment while they are loading the ballista, 2 from each platform fire arrows into the horrors trying to board their ship. Only one connects plus worse 2 out to the 4 bow have snapped their bow strings. Moshushi remains with the ballista crew waiting for a better shot. Kael stands there staring at the Undead that are rising from the water all around him
Summary 3 Zombie Taur on Anchor Chain Climbing 1 waiting at the bottom with Lucky 1 being mutilated by porpoise The remaining 5 are a attempting to climb on the dock (4 of the 5 will be on the dock next round
Winterglade [AC16 (+2 vs evil), HP70(70)] Thursday November 15th, 2007 5:56:53 AM
[Gecktar:] "We need to catch them on the shore. If they ever penetrate the town they will do a slaughter" "Sounds like a job for Winterglade! Just hope it's not a ploy to have us divided!"
The centaur drops from a standing start into a gallop and jumps overboard. There is no splash - Winterglade lands on the surface of the water as if it was soft grass, sending gentle ripples in all directions [full round action, jump overboard and run in the direction of the 5 zombies utilising Horseshoes of Zephyr, covers 200 ft - without a map there is no way for me to tell what position to take - I would prefer as close to the 5 zombies as possible while being out of their reach, but no further from them than 50 ft even if it puts me in danger. Let me know if jumping off the ship caused any damage]. --- Magic Circle against Evil: 80 min, Bless: 8 min.

Flat-top (ac 21 / 106hp) d20+5=21 Thursday November 15th, 2007 7:42:50 AM
Flat-top with +2 morning Star (in hand) put it into his mouth, allthe time yelling "HELP ME RAISE THE ANCHOR! WE'LL KILL THEM AS THE TRY TO BOARD THE SHIP". How does one talk with a mace is your mouth ????
Flat-top will try to pull on the anchor Chain. Trying to knock them off by breaking their hold on the Chain.
Flat-top breaks out in a sweat. (Big time sweat!)
Pulling on chain - for strenth + 1 blessing = 5 - 21 for pulling on chain.
Gecktar d20+10=23 2d6(5+5)+19=29 Thursday November 15th, 2007 4:49:46 PM "Glade will need some help, but a healer needs to stay on the boat in case of damage. Mo ! Zeol ! bring him some help, I will stay on the ship with Flat-Top"
Gecktar closes Flat-Top and instead of helping him put his hand on his shoulder. "Let them come aboard, these creatures should not exist anymore. We should fight them and destroy them."
Gecktar grabs his hammer with his two hands brandish it high and strike the first undead coming on the boat (hit AC23 with power attack -6, damage 29)--- unable to attack the creatures melee yet and Brahmah is blocking their route to you. please if you want attack again for this round with ranged attack and i can amend it tomorrow or just wait and see what happens

OOC: I assume the ones climbing on the dock are visible now, right? yes they are I miss read this earlier and thought that you were talking about the critters on the boat oops my bad Jon
Moshushi takes aim at one of the zombies (or whatever) and utters a quick prayer to Tomi as he fries it to dust with a lightning bolt. or so he hopes. It gets a reflex save (DC 15) for half damage (11).
He then sets off after Winterglade, just in case he needs help
All Aboard (round 5) Thursday November 15th, 2007 11:51:48 PM
Zombies without boarding Passes Round 5
Winterglade sees that there are 5 zombies like creatures climbing onto the docks attempts to get a better position by jumping off the ship sending water fling high into the air as he lands he blots toward the dock. Flat-top tries to pull the anchor chain with all he has while yelling "although it comes out more like a mumble. Zeoll uses his minions to continue there assault then got invisible and heads for the docks His aquatic minions finishing off the remaining creatures in the water. Brahmah Standing in the way of the creatures climbing he starts chopping away. The first three slashes bite deep into the undead flesh and the four splits it in two gore and bile flying everywhere. Moshushi takes a moment and releases a lightning bolt charring a few (3) of the zombies but none fall. He then starts toward the dock making it to the boats railing Gecktar moves into a position to attack the creatures boarding the ship Kael stands there with a open mouth staring at the undead. The Chosen hear a shout from some of the crew members as they coordinate there attacks then two ballista fire into the creatures climbing with a dull thud both scoring hits on the next creature climbing sending it back into the sea, The captain decides that moving the anchor at this time would not work as Brahmah is right in the way and he does not want to jar the warrior off balance instead he pulls something from his cloak and bottle of some kind he pitches it at a creature. It misses and splashes into the sea.
The zombies that are now on the dock, seeing living humanoids attack the closest targets to them shambling toward the ship. Meeting the poor Moshushi along the way, they slash at his with there claw like fingers. Several of the claw bite deep into Moshushi arms and torso leaving long red gashes. (HP damage 28, Moshushi fort save please DC 20)
Summary 5 attacking Poor Moshushi Sorry my friend your were the only target by the docks They are at the ship railing now - 1 climbing the anchor chain 1 sinking to the bottom with ballista bolts though it

Winterglade reaches under his shirt and pulls out his holy symbol that is already pulsing with white light [move action]. He shouts out the word of power, but it is drowned out by a thunderclap accompanied by a blinding flash! [Standard action: turning undead. Turns 16hd of undead that have 8hd or less. Those with 4hd or less are destroyed instead.] As the centaur blinks black spots and tears out of his eyes he is already looking for the best place to position himself so that the fleeing undead are kept away from the port and innocent bystanders.

Flat-top (AC 21 - 106/106hp) Friday November 16th, 2007 8:26:21 AM Gecthar tell Flat-top "Let them come abord !"
Flat-top let's go of the anchor chain, then takes the +2 Morningstar out of his mouth, smiles at Gecthar. "It's alright with me, I need the excersise anyway!"
Then look down the Anchor Chain, Flat-top yells " OOOPS! Did any of you Fish Face get hurt? No! Well welcome aboard, I have something for you!!"
Brahmah (AC 28, Hps 105, Spider Climb, Bless, Shield of Faith) Friday November 16th, 2007 9:18:51 AM
The minotaur walks to the top of the chain launch and waits for the undead to top the rails. When one breaks the horizon of the rail, Brahmah will swing. "Yes, let them come aboard or make it to the docks. The water is keeping us from hurting them much."
Gecktar (AC22 ; HP66/66 ; divine power) 3d8(2+7+7)+7=23 Friday November 16th, 2007 3:21:23 PM "Flat-Top, Captain, will you handle the situation ? Mosushi seems to be needing some help. I'm going to join him"
That said, Gecktar closes as much as he can Mosushi and tries to heal him (if he is able to reach him, but with no map, I'm a bit confused.)
If he manages to catch him he will spontaneously cast cure serious wounds (instead of wind wall), healing him 23hp.
Moshushi (ac 14, hp 4/32) d20=17 d20=10 Friday November 16th, 2007 7:44:05 PM
Fort save made (22). Yay!
Second roll is to cast fly defensively, and a 19 sounds pretty good to me. Moshushi heads straight up, hopefully after being healed by Gecktar

Waiting to a few posts still, Will post tonight later if none by 11 pm
Still nothing from Kael anyone???? Going to wait for Zeoll til tomorrow early on in the day. Sorry Guys and Gals
Zeoll (AC17, HP47), Lucky the Squid (AC16, HP7), Water Elemental (AC17, HP16), Four Porpoises (AC15, HP10, 15, 15, 14) d20+4=21 d20+4=8 d20+4=15 d20+4=11 d20+4=8 2d4(4+3)=7 2d4(1+4)=5 2d4(1+4)=5 d20+4=10 d20+4=16 d6+3=8 Saturday November 17th, 2007 12:03:37 AM
OOC: Sorry for being late!
Zeoll's porpoises cannot attack, I think. Three wait near the dock and two near the ship in case any zombies end up back in the water. They ready attacks. they can attack the creature that was shot back into the water,
Maybe some will flee back into the water after being turned. If so, here are some attacks: Dolphins hit AC21, 8, 15, 11, and 8. Three of those might be hits. If so, damages are 7, 5, and 5
Lucky and the water elemental can attack in the air, I believe. They attack the one on the anchor chain. Lucky misses with a 4. The water elemental hits AC16, doing 8.
Zeoll himself is now on the dock, but invisible. He sees Mosushi get hit hard, but he knows that if he attacked, and became visible, he would be next!
So he takes out a vial and brings it to Mosushi -- a potion of Cure Moderate Wounds. He whispers to his friend, "Herre, it's me, Zeoll. Herre is a curre potion. Drrink it and get out!" He presses it into his friend's hand.
OOC: potion is 2d8+3 healing.

Dust to Dust and Ash to Ash Saturday November 17th, 2007 7:24:36 PM
Standing in the water as if on dry ground Winterglade reaches under his shirt and pulls out his holy symbol, it flashes with the holy power of Domi, It a moment there is a flash of its power and where there was once a few rotting corpses there is nothing but ask and a bit of a stain on the Dock. Moshushi feels a burning in his chest and arms as something feels like its attacking him from inside but a few moments later the feeling subsides Seeing that Moshushi is injured Gecktar runs over to help. Quickly trying to heal his friend from bleeding to death from several gashes Gecktar cast cure serious wounds healing his friend Hoping not to be mauled again Moshushi cast fly defensively and rises from the ground. (Although there are no undead on the dock) Brahmah waits for the remaining creatures to climb up to him, as the only one the chain continues to try to board the ship it attempts to grab Brahmah’s legs missing by a long way. Attack of op for you Brahmah Highlight to display spoiler: { this zombie as seen better days LOL } Flat-top let's go of the anchor chain and waits to see if Brahmah will let him do anything or is the minotaur going for a solo act on the Zombie. Zeoll and his minions Rip the last water bound creature apart (I made a judgment call here cayzle) leaving the sole zombie for Brahmah.
Winterglade Sunday November 18th, 2007 2:51:37 AM
The centaur is taken aback by the power of the pearl he has received from Gargul. He expected to be able to channel more power, but that! To remove a whole herd in one go! He shifts some of the ash with his hoof. "Yeah! Rest in peace or rest in pieces, your choice. So say the Brawler and the Eye."
He looks up at Moshushi. "Good thinking there, getting safely out of a tight spot. Uh, come back down and Winterglade will finish the healing. Looks like the others are perfectly capable of handling the situation on the ship."
Flat-top (AC 21 - 106/106 HP) Sunday November 18th, 2007 8:24:57 AM
Flat-top steps back and lets Captain Brahmah (After all he's the Chosen Leader) take care of the Zombies. "That's ok! Captain, go right ahead and kill them. I'll stand here and cure you as you fet hurt!!" Flat-top smiles at the back of the head of Captain Brahmah.
Brahmah (AC 28, Hps 105, Spider Climb, Bless, Shield of Faith) d20+17=37 2d4(1+4)+7=12 d20+15=19 d20+14=15 d20+10=14 d20+9=21 2d4(2+3)+7=12 2d4(4+4)+7=15 d6+4=10 Sunday November 18th, 2007 11:02:04 AM
Realizing that this fight will likely be cited again as a failure of communication (in Brahmah's opinion, nothing else could have been done by planning it), Brahmah shouts out to the others. "Call out status please! What is happening? I'm fighting one on the anchor! Two have fallen to the water, likely still moving."
He swings with his AoO. (AC 37, too bad no CRIT on undead :(!, for 12 damage)
His full round of attacks. (AC 19, miss, 14 and 21, for 12, miss, 15, and 10 damage... provided those weak attacks hit.) Losing his balance after his second swing, Brahmah is thankful for his Spider Climb tattoo.
(OOC: Question for our wonderful DMs, if I were to buy slippers of Spider Climb for Heyoo, could he wear them? :) I was thinking about a tattoo for him, but he wouldn't be able to activate it. ;))
Brahmah (AC 27, Hps 105, Spider Climb, Bless, Shield of Faith) Sunday November 18th, 2007 11:03:07 AM
OOPS!
Don't know whether ROP and Shield of Faith stack, Ac might be 27, not 28.
Last One Sunday November 18th, 2007 4:17:16 PM
Seeing that the Zombie is trying to grab his hoof the minotaur swings his sword taking the things hand off at the wrist. Not wanting to let the creature react he swings again and again. His first swing catches the ceature in the chest and almost splits it in two. His next attack nearly sends Brahmah off the boat into the sea (saved only by the spider climb magic he is using) The following two attack from the big taur chop the critter fully into bits dropping them back into the sea where they came from
Combat ended.
OOC will check with the powers that be about this question Brahmah and let you know as I am not sure

Winterglade Monday November 19th, 2007 3:48:07 AM
"The docks are clear!" - the centaur shouts back. Then he examines Moshushi to see if the wounds inflicted by zombies might result in any kind of disease or other detrimental condition [Take10 on Heal: 15]. He channels some of his power to finish off the healing started by Gecktar [heals 5 damage on Moshushi by using up 5 0-level spell slots, leaving only one Detect Magic].

OK ignore the above post Cayzle saved the day
Brahmah Monday November 19th, 2007 1:27:02 PM
OOC: Cayzle tends to do that! ;)
Brahmah kicks the zombie hand off the deck. "Group up Chosen. Whats the word? Anyone see anything or anyone else nearby?"
He feels into the Heyoo's mind, seeing if he is okay and is safe. Is the girl okay? The captain?
He listens for his alarms. The ranger peers around the docks. Are there any dock patrols around? Guards?
"Scan for evil again. There has to be something here."
He moves to any corpses left on the docks and looks for anything that might suggest something about their point of origin.
You may pass Monday November 19th, 2007 2:37:08 PM
The port inspector rushes up just as the fighting ends. "Oh my gosh I cannot believe what just happened we are indebted to you" he says to the Chosen. "From this day on you will all be welcome at our port no matter what ship you come on. Captain Brahmah and Captain Heartson please you and the ship will not be inspected feel free to leave the ship at anytime we so grateful for what you have done." He then leaves the ship again calling out orders for someone to go and clean up the mess.
Captain Heartson says to the companions "I am impressed by your skill and if any of you is ever looking for a ship to join then you will find a place on the Rusty Fish Hook. Captain Brahmah I wanted to thank you for your bear friend watching out for my niece and keeping her safe" As he says that Brealla turns up with Heyoo close behind and she says "Uncle did you see what Mr Winterglade did?" as she stares in awe at Glade. "Sweetheart you were supposed to be below decks out of trouble" Heartson says "I was... mostly" she replies with an innocent smile.
DM Monday November 19th, 2007 2:39:23 PM
OOC Brahmah don't think we ignored your post we are going to include any info leading from your queries in another post ;P
Brahmah Monday November 19th, 2007 3:26:40 PM
Brahmah looks at Captain Heartson, then back at the port inspector. "Please. We are not above the law. Inspect. Do your job. I wouldn't have it any other way!" The minotaur smiles. "We have been here waiting so you can do your job. Why waste your time and ours?" He grins again, trying not to sound anything other than cooperative.
Gecktar Monday November 19th, 2007 5:47:00 PM
Gecktar smiles at the power displayed by his companion Glade. That is better all those unliving now in the realm of death for good.
He comes close to the captain of the ship "Is there any causualties in your team ?" he says "I'm able to heal them as well as my partner Glade, so don't hesitate."
Moshushi d20=3 Monday November 19th, 2007 6:44:44 PM
"Thank you both" indicating Gecktar and Winterglade
Moshushi flies up a bit to take a look around to see if he sees anything else amiss, though it seems calm for now. Judging from his roll, he won't be seeing a thing (9 for spot)
Zeoll Monday November 19th, 2007 7:13:42 PM
Zeoll says a prayer of thanks to Domi for the success without casualties. Even Lucky lived!
He thanks the harbormaster and bows in turn.

The centaur joins the rest of the party.
[Brealla:] "Uncle did you see what Mr Winterglade did?" "Uh, it's really the Brawler who works through our hands, you see. It's as if you were on a rowboat with your uncle. You get to steer, but he is doing the rowing."
"We sure did make an impression" - he whispers - "so much for a discrete entry into the port." He starts putting his armor back on. "Everybody seems to already know the name of our group, too. Tell Winterglade again about that price on your heads?"
Zeoll Tuesday November 20th, 2007 11:30:56 AM
"Agrreed, Winterrglade. I suppose that when we go a-hunting forr info, we should all go afterr all, even the minotaurrs. Maybe that would make forr some good storrytelling about us herre locally. That is always a good thing."
Zeoll checks with the harbormaster. Does that mean we are free to leave the ship? Zeoll wants to know what it was that prompted the quarantine in the first place.

Flat-top ask both his Captain Brahmah and the Captain of the ship, "Now that it is quiet once again. May I go and see my Mother on this Island? I have not seen her since I joined the Chosen."
Free to go Wednesday November 21st, 2007 8:23:35 AM
Before he rushes off the port inspector says "We are inspecting ships as we have had way too many smugglers and pirates disguising themselves then causing all kinds of problems. You have proven you are not pirates so you may pass through our town and our port."
Heartson says "We are docked here for as long as you like I am at your service my friends"
There will very likely be another DM post today to make up for yesterday, we had to deal with the mechanic and find out our car was shot and did not get home from everything else til late
Zeoll d20+22=38 d20+21=41 d20+14=28 Wednesday November 21st, 2007 11:50:56 AM
The liontaur chats up the port inspector and talks some more about the scourge of piracy. In fact, he is trying to secretly pump him for info. He hopes to find out where pirates hang out in the area, and if any have been dealing in luxury goods (the kind the Doctor loves).
Diplomacy: 38 Bluff: 41 (nat 20) Gather Info: 28
Can't hope for much better than that.
Also, Zeoll asks if there is branch of the famous Catacombs Magic Shop in town.
Brahmah Wednesday November 21st, 2007 3:24:26 PM
(OOC: DM's, was there anything missing from the ship? What is the name of this harbor?)
The minotaur is happy to be left to stroll freely. He is keen to join Zeoll at the Catacombs. Brahmah needs some specific gear.
"Can anyone detect concealment or disguises?" He asks the Chosen.
Gecktar Wednesday November 21st, 2007 3:48:00 PM "No captain, only if evil is behind the disguise. I will join you to the catacombs if there a shop here.
Well does anyone knows about a good inn we can stop at without fear of thieves of thugs ?
Please Wednesday November 21st, 2007 9:59:24 PM
In reply to Brahmah's question, Heartson says "I had my crew check and nothing appears to be missing and no one is injured thanks to the quick actions of you and your companions"
"Yes we have a Catacombs branch here in our fair city and if you can wait a moment or two I will gladly lead you there myself" the harbour master says. "As for the pirates I do not know where they are coming from but it cannot be far as they and their smuggler friends are trying to ruin our port. Every time we capture them they do not give us any information no matter the methods we use to question them and we try to keep them imprisoned but someone almost always manages to set them free"
Brealla tugs on her Uncle again and asks "Can we go into the city to pllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeaasssssssse Mr. Flat-top said I could meet his family." Her Uncle looks down at her, smiles and says "Well I have to look after some stuff on the ship beforehand but we can go if you can wait a little bit" Brealla looks disappointed then she asks Flat-top "If my Uncle says it is OK can I go with you instead of waiting for him?" The smile on her faces reaches all the way to her bright blue eyes and you can see the excitement in them.
OOC - you are docked at Fort Stag - Catacombs open to all
Winterglade Thursday November 22nd, 2007 2:58:41 AM
"Too trusting" - the centaur discreetly comments about the harbour master. "All a crafty pirate would have to do to gain access to the port would be to arrange for some undead to show up and then hack them to pieces."
"Do you have any such captives in your dungeons right now, Harbour Master? Some of us are quite persuasive and could try to make them talk without resorting to brute force."
As the group disembarks the Rusty Fish Hook Winterglade wraps himself with his cloak and puts on his hood. "Goodbarrel, remember?"
Brahmah Thursday November 22nd, 2007 7:19:58 AM
Brahmah nudges Winterglade. "Frostglenn, Goodbarrel, whatever your name is, you still look the same. What makes you think you won't be recognized?"
Zeoll Thursday November 22nd, 2007 7:51:18 AM
Zeoll says very quietly to his friends once the harbormaster is out of earshot, "The fact that theirr captives always escape suggests complicity on the parrt of the authorrities. We must keep that in mind."
The liontaur joins those who are headed to the Catacombs.
Flat-top Thursday November 22nd, 2007 8:55:50 AM
Flat-top is ready to go ashore, extemds his hand, tells the Captain of the Fish-hook, "Not to worry She'll be safe with My family."
Flat-top runs like the wind, North west of the Island. There is a heard of horses there, looking for his brother Heard?? Ah! atlast the girl Spots them "Look Mr. Flat-top there's a bunch of horses over there!"
Flat-top serches the plane to were she pointed, there was the heard he wanted< "That's them! Lets go and say Hello!" He runs as fast as fasr as he can. Stoping short at the Bid Black horse, "Greetings Brother, I have return for a short time, But it's good to see you again. Where's mother?"
He looks around ant there was his mother, (Gray and old) Ha ask his brother, This little girl would like to play with the colts, Is it all right? His brother replies "Sure the colts have not seen a human child, But go child."
The both on then, Child and Center Had a very fine Day and stories to tell.
Gecktar Thursday November 22nd, 2007 3:59:44 PM
In answer to Zeoll he says "It's amazng what bribery allow to do..."
Gecktar follows Zeoll to the catacombs.
Brahmah Thursday November 22nd, 2007 6:47:11 PM
Brahmah nods to Zeoll, but puts his finger to his mouth.
Knowing that the docks are teaming with dock-hands, Brahmah wants no 'accidental' eaves dropping.
"Sound like we need to do some private investigating in honor of our new friends of Fort Stag." He says quietly, smiling. "Should be interesting. Ask around, stir up the nest, see what comes... good ole down and dirty footwork." He says with anticipation. "Lets get started. We have the clues. Lets follow them."
Brahmah loves the idea of fighting pirates, it takes him back to his beginnings as a 'sailor' defending his ship. Pirates fighting pirates was a common act, though, most went by 'the Code'. The one time pirate, though he'd NEVER divulge such shady info to THIS lot, knows about the darker side of being a pirate; regular haunts, 'deal making' and bribery are common place... and dangerous. Additionally, this will give him an opportunity to research about centaur pirates and possibly find information on his father's murderer.
Flat-top Friday November 23rd, 2007 8:54:52 AM
They had a wonderful day, both Flat-top Anr the captain Niece Brealla. It getting dark so the center kisses his mother good-by. "Mother! If I'm on this Island again be shour that I'll come to you again! Thanks to Domi I'm in my mother's arm again." His mother look a little Younger.
They both was silent on the way to the ship, but on arrivel on the dock, Brealla jumps off the back of the center, "Thank-you Mr. Flat-top I had a wonderful time." she gives the center a little kersty, turns and Yells to her Uncle. "UNCLE! UNCLE! I'm Back! I have to tell you about the centour children!!"
Off she goes to her uncle, Now Flat-top is alone, looking around for the rest of his friends??
Moshushi Friday November 23rd, 2007 11:08:18 AM
Moshushi follows along as the captain looks for lodging, but as soon as a place is found, he goes looking for a temple to Domi. He wants to express his gratitude for being delivered to land again
OOC:sorry about the slow posting around the holiday
Brahmah Friday November 23rd, 2007 1:21:11 PM
He claps his hands and rubs them together. "Come on, lets get moving."
Shopping Saturday November 24th, 2007 12:14:52 AM
As Goodbarrel, Brahmah, Moshushi, Gecktar, and Zeoll starts off into town you see the wide streets are open and larger then most human town making travel easier. The port inspector does tell you that “I do believe you are right Captain, I am sure that someone here is taking bribes and or letting the pirates off the chopping block so to speak, the only problem is that me and my trusted men can not root them out, we have been looking but I have been unsuccessful as of now. If you want to snoop around be my guest but I will not offer open help as that might ruin your chance being seen with the authorities so to speak.” I am at the port office near the dock if you find anything that might help. I unfortunately do not have any pirates on and but I am sure that some might turn up soon. He walks you to a large door just off the main street that has a sign marked as the Cats. “Here you are friends:” With that he leaves you Brahmah reminds the Chosen to watch what they say as their might be unfriendly ears around.
Flat-top and Brealla not wanting to shop, head out to find his mother and family who are near to for t stag. Riding on Flat-top’s back Brealla giggles like crazy enjoying every minute of the ride she had long waited for. Soon they find them self on the north west of the Island, quickly they locate Flat-tops heard Finding them self welcome, Flat-top talks and as a reunion with is brother and mother while Brealla plays with the colts of the heard having a blast.
Kael remains on the Boat.
OOC any one know what has happens to Kael He has been MIA for some time now and not responding to email ???
Sorry about the late post we were out at a dinner party lol
Winterglade Saturday November 24th, 2007 3:57:06 AM
[Brahmah:] "Frostglenn, Goodbarrel, whatever your name is, you still look the same. What makes you think you won't be recognized?" "If seen now, yes, Winterglade will be recognized. But a week from now, when the gossip mongers talk about the centaur that was with you, he prefers his own name was not mentioned."
Winterglade spends the day sheepishly following Flat-top around, trying to draw as little attention to himself as possible, all the while struggling with linguistics in an attempt to pass off as a local centaur. "So far, so good. W- <cough> Goodb- blast it! I is - am! - glad I hasn't been seen so far by anyone who know him. Me! Gosh, you people took a perfectly good language and twisted it into a Hazelmane's Ridd- something very confusing."
Then his eyes go wide open as he spots a familiar face in the crowd. "Uh, see you in the evening, Flat-top" - he whispers as he about-turns and practically gallops away.
Flat-top Saturday November 24th, 2007 8:31:24 AM
After bring back Brealla, she thanks the center, then runs to her Uncle and follow him with none stop tails of her adventure. Flat-top smiles at the Captain. "I think she had a nice time" But it was hard to be heard over his niece chattering. Flat-top smiles as he saluts the Capiain. The captain points to where the rest of the Chosen has left.
Flat-top goes toward that direction. "Yep! Just as I though! they went to the nearest Tavern!"
Brahmah Saturday November 24th, 2007 1:02:47 PM
(OOC: Kael fell overboard trying to save his barrel of ale. He had been drinking and wasn't doing too well, and hit his head going over the side. We were unable to save him. ;))
"Goodboring, you chose to speak in third taur, we never made you." He smiles, walking on. "Dewface, where you going? Hey, Dewdad? You, Goodmorning... who you running from?"
Evasive taurs... not good. He's got to have something else going on. Is he a criminal? In the Chosen?
Zeoll Saturday November 24th, 2007 7:34:27 PM
Zeoll defends Winterglade. "Even Brrave Domi himself has been on the lam once or twice upon a time." The bard tells a tale of when Alemi and Domi were mortal and on the run after rebelling against the gods of the forst age.
Flat-top Sunday November 25th, 2007 9:04:17 AM
"Ahh! Come On Zeoll! That was before Domi became a god." (I think?) said Flat-top.
Zeoll Sunday November 25th, 2007 11:31:45 AM
"That's rright, frriend Flat-top! Just like us!"
Brahmah Sunday November 25th, 2007 2:22:05 PM
"Speak for yourself Zeoll!"
Winterglade Monday November 26th, 2007 3:04:01 AM
Winterglade rejoins the party later in the evening. "Not hard to find you, just had to look for the rowdiest tavern in the port. Any luck so far with rumor mongering?"

Flat-top Monday November 26th, 2007 6:51:41 AM Glade "Not hard to find you,Just look for the roudiest in to port!"
Flat-top turn to face Glade, smiles and adds "Not Roudy! Just Its Just Too Loud In Here. I have not heard any Rumors yet, but again I have to stand close to you, just to hear you. There's a couple in the corner over there, but I don't think that are exchanges secrets, just lovey dovey whisper and kisses!"
Brahmah Monday November 26th, 2007 12:14:43 PM
As Glade's statement, the ranger just shakes his head in shame.
Missing the taste of food for awhile, Brahmah thinks it safe to attempt stew and ale here. He doses himself with Antitoxin and begins to eat, looking around at the patrons.
Gecktar Monday November 26th, 2007 3:17:25 PM "This is my turn. What does anyone wants to drink ? Oh and just promise me that you don't abuse of alcoholic beverages. I don't want to be caught in tavern fight."
Gecktar takes tha command and goes to the bar and asks the innkeeper for drinks.
Moshushi Monday November 26th, 2007 7:02:42 PM
Moshushi is probably still praying. If nothing unusual happens, he'll head to the tavern
A drinking we will go Monday November 26th, 2007 11:26:04 PM
After everyone having spent the day doing various things from going to the Catacombs to spending the day with Flat-top's family everyone decides to meet in one of the taverns. Brealla was thrilled with the day she spent with her new friends and is returned to her Uncle with a big smile on her face.
The party has now gathered in the nearest tavern looking to find any clues or rumours of the Dr's island. You find that as the night grows on the tavern becomes noisier and noisier and some seem to burst into song for no reason at all. There is lots of laughter and lots of talk. You listen as best you can in the noisy tavern however most of what you hear is talk of undead especially the ones that attacked most recently. Tales are told of the brave heroes who saved them from the undead while none of the storytellers were actually there to witness the event nor do they realize that those very same heroes are the ones sitting in the tavern with them. Most of the patrons seem rather friendly and chatty and seeing as they are filled with ale their lips are loose.
There are several off duty members of the town watch chatting in hushed tones at a table near the Chosen and you strain to hear what is said (Listen check DC 23)
At some point during the evening Kael wanders off into the darkness in what appears to be a drunken stupor.
OOC everyone Kael has gone inactive but we hope he will be back with us soon
Winterglade d20+5=6 Tuesday November 27th, 2007 4:20:53 AM
[Listen 6]
The centaur is not accustomed to the level of noise one finds in such taverns and quickly grows impatient with all the people accidentally bumping into him. Not being what one would call a people's centaur, he concentrates on suppressing his desire to stand up and run away. "The land is dead here. Can you feel it? It has been killed by houses and gutters and being repeatedly paved over."
Zeoll Is In His Element! d20+22=38 d20+22=26 d20+22=29 d20+4=23 d20+4=5 d20+4=18 d20+12=16 d20+12=30 d20+12=21 d20+14=24 d20+14=33 d20+14=30 d20+29=36 d20+29=45 d20+29=43 Tuesday November 27th, 2007 10:08:51 AM
Zeoll returns from his shopping trip with new toys and ingredients to use in making stuff. He seems pleased with himself.
In the tavern, since there is no chance for anonymity, he spends time chatting up the patrons and keeping his ears open.
He tries to find people who might be sympathetic to the Chosen.
Sense Motive Checks: 16, 30, 21
From everybody he seeks general news, especialy about recent troubles. From those he trusts, he seeks more detailed info on the Doctor.
Gather Info Checks: 24, 33, 30
[OH! Can I engage in a little revisionism? Zeoll will cast extended Heroism a couple times over the evening. So PLEASE add TWO to all checks listed above.]
Finally, to relax, he casts several Guidance spells and performs a traditional Centaur tune, a traditional Minotaur tune, and a traditional Wemic tune.
Perform Checks (with Guidance and Heroism): 36, 45, 43
Before each one, he asks Domi's blessing (the Guidance).
Brahmah d20+12=25 Tuesday November 27th, 2007 10:49:36 AM
"Gla-Goodbarrel, I understand. I dislike cities. I feel most at home on the water."
He looks around again, trying to focus on one set of voices in the din. (Listen 25, 27 if human speaking, 29 if centaur speaking)
Zeoll Tuesday November 27th, 2007 2:33:03 PM
In answer to Winterglade's comment about paving over nature, Zeoll reminds him and Brahmah about the part of the city that consists of groves of huge Whistal Trees, where druids help Taurs live in nature. (See Centaur write-up in the Oshirr House).
Gecktar d20+4=8 Tuesday November 27th, 2007 4:18:32 PM
Gecktar savours his drink and don't mind about the noise around. He looks at Zeoll and appreciates his negociator's skills.
"Well then, what next ? How are we going to find some clues about our concerns. Zeoll is the most skilled of us all to collect information. Do we have to roam along the city from tavern totavern to get what we need ?"
"I, personnaly have no skills at that, so forgive my naivety because I don't know how to handle the situation"
(OOC : listen check 8)
Moshushi Tuesday November 27th, 2007 5:59:44 PM
"Gla-Goodbarrel, I understand. I dislike cities. I feel most at home on the water."
Moshushi looks at the Minotaur as though he had grown an extra head.
"I'm with you barrel. Give me trees and plains instead of these towns. Still, there are some benefits." He drinks more ale, the main benefit at the moment
Something to prove Tuesday November 27th, 2007 10:33:01 PM Goodbarrel is not happy with those constantly bumping into him in the busy, noisy tavern and declares he would be much happier in the wilderness. Brahmah and Mosushi agree with Goodbarrel that the city is not the place to be although they both would be much more at home aboard ship on open waters.
Gecktar enjoys his drink with the noise and bustle of the tavern not seeming to bother him at all.
Zeoll decides to put his information gathering skills to good use but first he warms the patrons up with various traditional tunes. The patrons seem to be enjoying his entertaining skills all but the off duty city guardsmen who glare at the Chosen suspiciously. Going back to his table for a moment he manages to catch snippets of the guardsmen's conversation Highlight to display spoiler: {...gnomish smuggler.......important......lots of money......transported here......talk terms on arrival........should be as easy to free as the others.......}. Talking to various tavern patrons he finds that the consensus is that they are very unhappy with the current city guard and would love to have them disbanded and a new guard formed. The city's problems with smugglers and bandits and the like is growing instead of diminishing and any time the port authority manages to capture some smugglers most seem to somehow escape once under the watchful eye of the city guard. Earlier that day alone just outside the city two traders were set upon and almost lost their lives, they managed to salvage most of their goods but their wagons and horses are gone. Most are sympathetic to the plight of the Chosen but have no information on where the smugglers and bandits may be based.
All of a sudden one of the drunk patron stands up and says "I say we have a toast to these as yet unknown heroes who saved us from the undead". Still unaware that those very heroes are in their midst they erupt into a loud cheer spending a few moments toasting the heroes. One very drunk man slurs "I was there (hic) I saw a very bright light then the undead were gone {hic} these are powerful heroes" An unseen drunk shouts "Have these new heroes replace the existing incompetent guard, maybe some of these bandits and smugglers will be brought to justice." With that the table of somewhat inebriated guardsmen stands up and the biggest (but obviously not the brightest) says "Who is the scum that said that? You are now under arrest" as he scans the crowd. Those in the tavern start booing and jeering the guardsmen and a few of the more opinionated and drunk customers and the big dumb guard seem to want to get into a fight to prove who is more worthy to protect the city.
Winterglade Wednesday November 28th, 2007 3:30:18 AM
The centaur sighs. "There you have it, the city gets into your head and messes things up big time." Eyeing the bulky guard he comments quietly: "Say, here is an interesting potential information source, and all liquered up already. W- I say we put our cat in front, let him try to talk things down and maybe get on friendly terms with these brutes. If it doesn't work and they try to drag innocent people into the dungeon we follow them into the alley and knock them out, but in a friendly way, yes? No point in making ourselves a target for the guard. More than we already are, that is."
Zeoll (Heroism) d20+28=36 d20+26=32 d20+23=34 d20+16=35 Wednesday November 28th, 2007 9:37:07 AM
Zeoll sees that he needs to step up and calm the patrons. He says a quick prayer to Domi for Guidance, and then does what he can to defuse the situation. "Gentletaurrs! Therre is no disagrreement herre! My frriends and I are the ones who defeated the undead, with Domi's blessing! But we werre lucky to be on the scene beforre anyone else! I'm surre the guarrds herre would have been equally effective!"
"The morre imporrtant question is this: What evil necrromancerr stole the bodies of yourr dead and set them against you? Next time we may not be herre, and you will need these brrave guarrds to prrotect you! Thank them for their brravery, that they stay on the job even though morre undead may be on the way!"
Zeoll's diplomacy here is boosted by his use of a seal: Goblin seal of Drinking -- +2 to any diplomacy checks made in an inn.
Diplomacy check result: 36 (boosted by seal, guidance, heroism)
If a fight breaks out, he will cast Calm Emotions over the whole room (40 ft diameter). Save DC 21.
If he is lucky enough to calm things down, then he goes over to talk to the guards. He plays up their bravery and skill with subtle flattery. He asks about the source of the undead. Did anyone recognize the bodies of the zombies from their former lives?
Zeoll tries to get the guards to agree that everyone has to work together to stop the undead menace. Finally he pulls his trump card. He tells them that he has heard a rumor that a gnome smuggler was working for the necromancer. He asks his new friends if they have heard about any gnomes aroundabouts, and if they can help him talk to such gnomes.
Diplomacy 32, Bluff 34, Gather Info 35.
Flat-top Wednesday November 28th, 2007 9:40:01 AM
Flat-top Puts His Body between the guard and the drunk, slaps the drunk on the back "AttA! BOY! That'sh what I call guts, Yes'sh Sir! this guard is a hero all the time! Keeping the Peace! I'm goint to buy you a drink! Yes Sir! A Flaming Green Gomish! In Faci I'm going to Have one with You!"
But to the Drunk, Flat-top tell Him "Run! You Fool! Got out of the reach of the guard! I can handle a Green Gomish, but I think this guard cannot! Now Go!"
"Bartender!" calls Flat-top, "Two Flaming Green Gowmish Right Here For Me and My Friend Right here!" Them he smiles at the guard, almost dearing him to drink the Flaming Green Gowmish.
Brahmah Wednesday November 28th, 2007 3:03:43 PM
"So much for playing this low key." Mutters the minotaur, placing a cupped hand on his forehead and leaning on the table, fingers shading his eyes from the patrons... drinks his ale. He tucks into his stew.
Gecktar Wednesday November 28th, 2007 5:42:29 PM
Gecktar approves the intervention of Zeoll, but as Goodbarrel said, this is maybe a chance to make the drunken talk about the real situation.
He whispers to Brahmah "Maybe we should getout and way for this drunken fool. We could make him talk and get really interesting information. Don't you think"
"I think Zeoll is going tobe at ease with the guards, so we could take care of the drunken outside the Inn..."
Almost a fight Wednesday November 28th, 2007 11:55:14 PM Glade aka Goodbarrel suggests that they befriend the guards but follow them out and knock them flat should they try to imprison anyone.
Flat-top pats the drunk on the back and distracts the burly guard by building his ego and offering to share a Flaming Green Gnomish with him. He encourages the drunk to take off while the guard is distracted and calls to the bartender for the Flaming drinks. The guard grudgingly accepts Flat-tops offer and sits with him to drink his Gnomish.
Zeoll prays to Domi for guidance then he explains to the crowd that they are the ones who defeated the undead. A loud cheer erupts after a moment of silent awe as the crowd congratulates and thanks the Chosen. He attempts to diffuse the situation by playing on the side of the guards but the crowd is too busy cheering and celebrating to continue the fight. The guards obviously spoiling for a fight take a second look at the Chosen and decide that a fight is not in their best interests today and they also decide to back down.
Brahmah mutters about keeping low key and tries to shield himself from the situation.
Once the situation has resolved itself Zeoll talks to the guards using flattery to win them over. He also questions if anyone knew any of the undead while they were still alive but no one in the tavern was close enough to have seen anything. The closest was the drunk who saw the blinding flash of light. He encourages the guard to work together with the townsfolk to stop the menace of the undead. Zeoll questions the guards about a gnomish smuggler they have heard rumours about. The guards tell him that there is a gnomish smuggler that was captured and is to be brought to the city jail within the next few days but they claim to know not who he works for or anything else about him.
Gecktar suggests to Brahmah that while Zeoll is questioning the guards that they follow the drunk and question him outside the tavern.
Winterglade Thursday November 29th, 2007 3:10:15 AM
"Ah, now everybody knows who we are. Hope it's worth it. At least the situation has been difussed for now."
"This was supposed to be only a brief stop, remember? If we are not able to get any information on our main adversary we should consider moving on."
Zeoll d20+24=32 d20+14=24 Thursday November 29th, 2007 6:50:44 AM
Zeoll asks if his new friends could let him talk with that gnome. Just a short talk alone, for a couple minutes.
Diplomacy 32
Zeoll tries to get a feel for the ethics of these fellows.
Sense Motive 24
If he thinks it will help, Zeoll buys a round of drinks and hints that he would be happy to offer the guards a little thank-you (a bribe) for their trouble.
Out of the corner of his eye, Zeoll watches his friends hustle the drunk out of the tavern. "Good idea," he thinks.
Brahmah Thursday November 29th, 2007 9:07:33 AM
The ranger just watches helplessly, not able to aid in the diplomacy; he usually makes things MUCH worse.
Truth be told, Brahmah is getting used to the fighting, but now, with Zeoll's hard push for diplomatic solutions to everything, Brahmah is considering hanging up his Falchion for good.
Diplomacy is dubious by itself, but in the case of the Chosen of Domi, it can be down right harmful, even deadly.... the Doctor's Island is something Brahmah is not likely to forget for the rest of his life... and he plans on reminding the Chosen of that every chance he gets.
Flat-top (AC 21 / 106hp) Thursday November 29th, 2007 9:53:13 AM
Flat-top winks at Zeoll, then puts his arn around the drunk's shoulders and pulls him toward the door. (with the mug of Flaming Gownish)
"Come on my Friend! Let's take our Drinks and outside where there's clean fresh air!!" But Flat-top is reaty for any kind of trouble and hopefully Not from the Guard?
Gecktar Thursday November 29th, 2007 5:59:22 PM
Gecktar stands up and follows Flat-Top outside of the inn accompanied by the drunken one.
Moshushi Thursday November 29th, 2007 7:20:41 PM
Glade said:"Ah, now everybody knows who we are. Hope it's worth it. At least the situation has been difussed for now." "This was supposed to be only a brief stop, remember? If we are not able to get any information on our main adversary we should consider moving on."
Moshushi says : "Are you really surprised? We can't really leave them on their own."
A Friendly Drink Thursday November 29th, 2007 11:59:04 PM
The party in the tavern continues as only gets noisier by the minute. Now that the crowd has heroes in their midst they toast the Chosen even more and the drinks pour in. The bartender stops accepting the money offered by the Chosen and says "Heroes such as yourselves may drink a few for free seeing as you saved the town and all from them nasty undead." Many of the patrons try to push past each other trying to get near the heroes but the atmosphere seems to stay jovial. Several of the patrons start to sing way off key and others join in equally off key.
As Zeoll sits down with his new 'friends' for a little drink the Guards seem a little more at ease. Still they look like if the Chosen were not there they would not only have beaten the man but probably killed him for mouthing off to them, a very unsavory bunch. When the drinks come to the table they happily gulp them down looking around as they do. The larger of the four comments " Why would you want to talk to a little scum bag like the one we will have locked up. He is only a gnome a useless creature if you ask me. But we are curios as to what kinda "gratuity" we are talking about here?" he asks quietly when offered a tip for his trouble. But then looking around he says again under his breath "I thinks that this is a chat that we should have else where maybe how about you and only you come see me tomorrow as the guard post say midnight and we can talk shal we" they gulp down the last of their drinks, stand and walk out of the tavern smoothly as if nothing happened.
Brahmah keeps a eye on things waiting for something to go wrong, as usually it does. This time however luck seems to be with on their side and no madness and mayhem starts.
Flat-top and Gecktar offer the drunken fellow a bit of company as he walks (stumbles) home. The night air is clean and crisp. The moon is full and there is plenty of light to see by. Not having to walk the drunken taur far he stumbles up to a quaint looking hovel. At the step waits a female centaur that looks a bit unhappy seeing her husband ushered home by strangers " What have you done this time you lecturers fool, How much trouble has he caused?" she asks then ushers him quickly into their home. Both Flat-top and Gecktar can hear the man being noisily ushered into his bed all the while being told what is on the lady taurs mind. A few moments later she opens the door and speaks to the them "Thank you for bringing him home I hope that he has not gotten into trouble again. He was not to be in the taverns any more but the drunken fool never learns. If there anything that I can do for you please ask." and once again she thanks them then goes in to tend to the drunk.
Goodbarrel and Moshushi stay at the table that the Chosen were seated at having a conversation about publicity
Gecktar Friday November 30th, 2007 3:38:03 AM "He has insulted a guard, and we just interfere before the situation worsen. The only think that was to do after that was to bring him back home..."
"Well in fact, there could be something you could do for us..." Asks Gecktar "Just a bit of conversation." he adds politely.
"As you can see it on my breast, I am a servant of Domi and we just arrived in the city. But as soon as I get my feet on the ground I've felt a dark mood all around. I need to know more about this town. And who can better talk of this city if not a courageous wife working hard for his family... You in fact".
"Domi and his servants as I am could not let such people as you in this a situation. Dark powers are at work in this city and we should uncover them."
"What could you say about hte relationship between the guards and the smugglers or the pirates ?"
Winterglade Friday November 30th, 2007 6:10:09 AM
[Moshushi:] "Are you really surprised? We can't really leave them on their own." "Oh, didn't mean to leave right now and split. Probably best to stick together for now. We might as well enjoy the mood while it lasts, it is not every day hornheads and furballs are shown that much heart around these parts."
The centaur listens intently to the conversation and Zeoll's questions. <Groan> "This will turn into a quest, won't it? You bet, it has markings of a quest all over it. Poor Winterglade, he was so eager to be done with doctor M. and sea travels for good."
Brahmah Friday November 30th, 2007 7:54:00 AM
"Goodbarrel is confused, who is this Winterglade you speak!" He gives Glade a nervous look.
"Anyway, yes, a quest likely. The Chosen don't walk on water Goodbarrel. We use sea travel until teleporting becomes easier and cheaper."
Flat-top Friday November 30th, 2007 8:42:21 AM
Flat-top is suprised at the Mrs beratting of her husband, But whaen she comes back to thank then, she was much sweeter, "Thank-you for bringing him home, you must not put anything in his ramblings. He tells me that he goes to the tavern because he see weard thins comming out of the water! Imagion that! Ghost coming out of the water!! Good Night!" and slams the door in their face.
Flat-top look at the closed door, telling Gecthar, "Now I know as to why I never married!"
Zeoll Friday November 30th, 2007 11:07:05 AM
Zeoll agrees, says to his new guard friend that he will see him soon.
Then Zeoll catches up with his friends. He tells them that he has a plan to talk with a friendly smuggler. He will ask the smuggler what he knows about the Doctor, and if he knows nothing, he will ask for the name and location to a smuggler who might.
He says that he'll be going to the jail at midnight. Alone. If one other person wants to come, he can wear Zeoll's invisibility ring.
Moshushi Friday November 30th, 2007 5:29:21 PM
"Is it safe to talk to the smuggler? if he will give us information, are you sure he won't tell others of our plans?"
Zeoll (AC17, HP47) Friday November 30th, 2007 7:13:09 PM
"If it is trrue that he is evil, and a crriminal, and wants to escape frrom jail, and the jailerrs are willing to let him go, and he and Zeoll end up out of jail in a darrk alley, and an accident happens, then, well, that's one less thing to worrry about," says Zeoll.
"Good question, though."

Brahmah Monday December 3rd, 2007 1:34:04 PM
"I'll go with you Zeoll." Brahmah likes the idea of lurking about invisible again.
Moshushi Monday December 3rd, 2007 4:44:56 PM
"I'd rather stay here. Good luck!"
Party Hardy Monday December 3rd, 2007 10:54:10 PM
Before everyone leaves to meet the guard the party continues as the Heroes are toasted over and over again. Drinks are passed and everyone gets drunker and more thankful and everyone takes their turn thanking the members of the Chosen. Thankfully now that the guards are gone the crowd is docile if not a little loaded. About 11:15 a call goes out for Zeoll to perform again and a clamour rises with all in agreement and begging.
Gecktar Tuesday December 4th, 2007 4:27:19 AM
[Flat-Top]"Now I know as to why I never married!"
Gecktar replies "He, he, I'm sure this is a compasionate wife that hate to his love coming back and not able to walk straigth. It's difficult to see some we love destroying themselves."
"Let's go back to the Inn, then. Maybe we will get more information here."
Gecktar goes back to the Inn and share some drinks with other people, but not enough to be drunken. They pssibly have a duty to night. So a clear mind is needed.
Brahmah Tuesday December 4th, 2007 6:29:35 AM
Brahmah waits for Zeoll. "What now?!"
Zeoll (Guidance, Heroism) d20+29=47 Tuesday December 4th, 2007 7:08:29 AM
"Well, one last chance to wow them," thinks Zeoll. He says a prayer to Domi and touches a button in his pocket.
He stands up to perform. He sings a sad song about a town that lives in a realm of nightmare, plagued by werewolves, where few have hope. The town is called Harmonia, and Zeoll sings the sad song with a beautiful voice, tapping a melancholy counterbeat on his drum.
[OOC: Perform check 47, plus also using a Goblin Seal of Harmonia -- This seal will enable you to sing the "Harmonia" song perfectly with amazing voice and tenderness one time.]
That will be his final encore (since it is his best performance of the night), but he is careful to finish in plenty of time to make his rendez-vous with the guard -- and Brahmah is coming too, standing a little back, wearing Zeoll's Invisibility Ring.
Winterglade Tuesday December 4th, 2007 7:43:47 AM
[Brahmah:] "Goodbarrel is confused, who is this Winterglade you speak!"
Blast! "Oh, somebody from the past. Opinionated, arrogant, know-it-all. You probably wouldn't like him."
The centaur does his best to excuse himself from drinking. "It is pretty certain there is not much more to learn here. Want to check out another tavern?"
Flat-top goes back to the tavern Tuesday December 4th, 2007 9:00:22 AM
Flat-top goes back to the Tavern with Gecthar, "I know that it's not pleasent to have youe love one brought home with strangers, and We had a few drinks ourselves. She could have been Nicer.
Let's go back to the tavern, just to see if we can get any information of any kind. Some thing is going on?? People are afraid??" Flat-top and Gecthar walk on back to the Tavern.
Brahmah Tuesday December 4th, 2007 11:21:45 AM
Brahmah will exchange his ring +1 for the ring of invisibility.
"So, Goodbarrel, this Winterglade bloke?! Should we slay him on sight." A tease of a smirk flits across the ranger's lips. :)
Winterglade Wednesday December 5th, 2007 3:15:26 AM
The centaur rises an eyebrow. "Why, you make it sound as if you thought these were bad traits in a Taur?"
Flat-top Wednesday December 5th, 2007 9:29:22 AM
They re turn to the Tavern, advancing to the bar, "Bar tender can We two have your best bottle of Elvin wine?" now he'll start lisening and sipping the wine with Gecthar. "Hmmm! Good wine! What do you think? Gecthar>"
Moshushi Wednesday December 5th, 2007 11:31:20 AM
"excellent performance Zeoll."
Mingles a bit, drnks a bit
Brahmah Wednesday December 5th, 2007 1:01:42 PM
The ranger laughs at Glade's tone, but says nothing.
Gecktar Wednesday December 5th, 2007 3:32:16 PM
[Flat-Top] "Hmmm! Good wine! What do you think? Gecthar"
"Yes it is, a very good wine. But only one glass. I want to keep my head clear... Just in case."
"I feel that we are going to have a long night" Gecktar says to Flat-Top
ACDM and Chosen Player Cayzle Wednesday December 5th, 2007 3:47:23 PM
Friends, DMs Jon and Kristal have to take a week or two off. We're having fun now in the Golden Tapestry with combat practice.
Here are our options:
(1) We can chill out and relax here, and keep playing in the Golden Tap.
(2) I or someone else can substitute DM here for a couple weeks.
Any other ideas?
Please state your preference. Thanks!
Brahmah Wednesday December 5th, 2007 4:26:48 PM
Keep playing and soldier through. :D
Seriously, take however long you need. But whatever you do, don't leave Cayzle in charge! ;) now that would not be fair and he kills every P C in the party more often then not
Cayzle Wednesday December 5th, 2007 6:17:01 PM
I see my reputation as a killer DM precedes me! Muahaha!
DM JOn Wednesday December 5th, 2007 8:08:19 PM

Winterglade Thursday December 6th, 2007 3:46:06 AM
"So, exactly where do we go from here? Are we ready to move on, or did we get tangled in yet another mess that will need to be sorted out before we are free to leave?"
[We are in a tavern, I think we will be able to make our own entertainment for a few days if needed. As for XP, did we ever get XP and hero points from Donna for the last module? I'm afraid I don't remember and have no way to check. Does anyone take better notes than me?]
Flat-top?? Thursday December 6th, 2007 8:56:44 AM
Wait a minute!! If Jon and Kristle cannot go on for a week or two?? That means Adm Ceil takes over?? Adm Ceil has to hold up or carry on with the story??
I'm ready Send me the scrept! and I'll do my best to kill every body!! (Just kidding, Yeah Just Kidding??)
Flat-top waits for an answer??
Brahmah Thursday December 6th, 2007 1:01:50 PM
(OOC: August 13th, we got XP for finishing the Black Sword Saga.)
"I believe Zeoll and I were planning an excursion to the dungeons." He says quietly.
Gecktar Thursday December 6th, 2007 3:22:32 PM
Gecktar waits in the Inn sipping his glass of wine
OOC: Kristel & Jon : no worries if you have to take some time. Get back as soon as possible as I enjoy playing with you ;)
Moshushi Thursday December 6th, 2007 6:19:30 PM
Moshushi will sit watching Gecktar sip his wine as he guzzles his ale.
