Arm[HP 33/33 AC 22] Monday July 20th, 2009 5:47:21 AM
Arm continues to follow the ladies into the woods (or not, as the case may be).
OOC: Nice RP'ing with Thar, Ruby..keep it up..lol
Shadow [AC 20/15 HP 47/47] Monday July 20th, 2009 9:40:36 AM
Shadow moves further into the woods towards the female calls.
Ruby [HP: 68/74 - AC: 24(cover)][message][] Monday July 20th, 2009 11:02:47 PM
Her own skills did her little good and she touched the shaft gently before wincing with the pain. Shaking her head she whimpered and then shut her eyes. Geez, just get it over with. She glanced around for a few minutes and then finally sighed. "Thar...can you hear me?" For a brief minute she hopes that the earlier spell that Edmund cast is no longer working.
OOC: Hey, what can I say...that was the first thoughts that ran through my head when the DM post was made. Since her healing check, which was made out of desperation, failed she is being forced into a situation she does not like.

Shaken by the attack, Arm pulls Ruby further into the forest. Ruby is grateful and takes a look at her wound. It's not bad.
Shadow moves forward, aided by his elven eyesight. Even with it, moving in the very dark forest at night is taxing, and the rogue knows he's making a good deal of noise in the process. Still, he thinks he might see a flicker of movement up ahead. He sees a whole lot more motion as Wynum goes ripping headlong into the forest (Ack! Missed you last round! Also, no charge in the forest...lots of trees to move around and the like). Wynum sees something very strange. Although he can hear the women quite clearly and they sound very close by, he can't see them. Surely they're behind that tree nearby?! But then the centaur has something else to worry about. Arrows whistle through the nearby forest and rip into Wynum (23 damage).
Edmund and Revi finally see eye to eye and try to warn the group that it's a trap. Unfortunately, several of the team are out of ear shot. (OOC: Message and See Invis. have expired. It's definately been more than 2 hours since the last combat. Other spells may have expired as well. Please check the duration on your spells. :))
Thar continues to move with Shadow, and he definatley spots a bugbear about 60 feet away. He edges forward when he suddenly finds himself covered in sticky goop which glues him to the ground. Shadow's cat like reflexes move him out of the way of a second web that very nearly ensnares him. (Thar, you can can escape with a successful DC 13 Escape Artist check or burst the web with a successful DC 17 Strength check. No movement is allowed while in the web.)
And then, almost as soon as they had started, the sound of the begging women stops abruptly. It's almost as if they just disappeared. From his position in the forest, Wynum is befuddled. One minute he could hear the ladies, and then nothing. No footsteps, no breathing...the damsels are just gone.
Arm[HP 33/33 AC 22] d20+13=33 ; d20+7=13 ; Tuesday July 21st, 2009 5:55:23 AM
Suddenly, Arm stops dead in his tracks. First looking questioningly at Ruby, he then looks around uncertainly, trying to figure out where they are and what else is in the woods around them (listen=33-nat. 20, spot=13).
OOC: Nellie, am I to assume that since the screaming has stopped that we are no longer enchanted, or did the enchantment stop when we were attacked? Also..Ruby...perhaps you misunderstood me..I was praising you on your rp'ing, not criticizing.. :)

Shadow will move a little way from where he is and try to hide while he is searching for whatever tried to encase him in the web.
Ruby [HP: 68/74 - AC: 24(cover)][][] Tuesday July 21st, 2009 8:43:12 PM
Ruby glances to Arm and then shrugs her shoulders, which causes the arrow to move and hurt again. She mouths the word..."I don't know."...before she turns her attention back to the arrow. She had heard nothing from Thar and therefore, she figures the spell that Edmund cast earlier has passed. Trying to settle her breathing, she reaches up to put her right hand around the shaft of the arrow, taking several minutes to steel herself.
Domi give me strength., she yanks the arrow out and just barely is able to keep herself from screaming out in pain. Dropping the arrow she digs around for a bandage or cloth to make sure that what little bleeding happens, is not that serious.
OOC: Not complaining or taking it wrong Arm, just explaining my mindset at the time that I made that post. It seemed comical and funny to me. Plus it seemed like the first thing she might have thought, especially with an arrow in your chest and your own skills not going to tell you much. :)
Edmund (HP: 44/44, AC: 17) Mage Armoured, Fox's Cunning Tuesday July 21st, 2009 9:23:16 PM
((OOC: Wasn't aware they were standing around for two hours. Sorry. One seemed more than enough for what went on in the time between the battle and the present; esp. as the watch cycle hadn't even begun. Durations amended.))
Frustrated by what seem to be a series of impossible situations one after another, Edmund nevertheless refuses to leave the camp.
"This is stupid!" he exclaims when no one returns. "Why have they run off? And where? Running around in the dark, looking for tricksters--and no chance of finding them either. Obviously a trap."
Turning to Revi, he sighs. "Now what? It won't do any good rushing off to look for them in the dark. Maybe we should break up the cart wreckage and put it on the fire. If the fire is bigger, it will be easier for them to find their way back. I'll see what I can do with magic, too, though quite honestly a giant bonfire will be far better than anything I can conjure up at the moment."

Edmund is not much good at smashing up the wreckage, but he can carry it from Revi the Wrecking Ball to the fire. This he does as fast as he can, piling the wood onto the conflagration in an attempt to make the Wold's Biggest Bonfire.
"Hope this works!" he says to Revi.
Arm[HP 33/33 AC 22] d8+5=11 ; d20+13=25 ; d20+7=10 ; Wednesday July 22nd, 2009 6:01:11 AM
Arm grimaces, imagining the pain that must have been to pull the arrow out. As quietly as he can, he begins casting a spell to help Ruby (cure light wounds-heal 11 pts dmg, which should take care of any additional wound from pulling the arrow out). "That should make it better," he whispers to Ruby, then adds, "What we need to do is get back to the rest as soon as possible...it's certainly not safe here.". Leading her gently, he turns around and tries to find their way back (listen=25, spot=10).
OOC: Sans map, I'm not sure how far we are into the woods...can we see Ed's bonfire? If so, Arm will head cautiously toward it.

Exalted, Wynum doesn't notice that much the grievous wounds inflicted by the arrows and raises the petrified fist hanging on his neck. "Enough! Damn beerbugs! Release the damsel at once! Reveal yourselves, cowards!"
Touching the petrified hand, he releases a powerful light which bathes the woods and evens out the odds with the 'bugs. He then hustles to close on the nearest bugbear(s).
{OOC: Cast Daylight from Hand of Glory 60'+60' dim. I assumed there's a bugbear within 60' because of their darkvision's range. Wynum will rush to threaten the bugbear in range that's the furthest away from all other bugbears, in hope of being more than 60' from them. Lastly, it seems the woldian house rule for shooting into melee has disappeared from the 'pedia. Nellie can you confirm the ruling you're using? AoO in case of: Highlight to display spoiler: {Trip attack hit TouchAC 17, check 22 (DC is 10+Str mod)}}

Edmund (HP: 44/44, AC: 17) Mage Armoured, Fox's Cunning Wednesday July 22nd, 2009 2:02:00 PM
((OOC: Wynum, there was a fire already at the camp. Considering that one can cast spells, tie enemies up, scale cliffs, climb trees, and even mount a horse in combat, I think it not too unreasonable to suggest that it is also possible to pick up wood and toss it onto a pre-existing fire which is several feet away. Hopefully the DM will agree.))

In the now quiet woods, the skirmish continues.
Arm leads Ruby back toward the campsite after healing her wound (Arm and Ruby will be back to the campsite next round with a double move). It's not too terribly hard, considering that there's a campfire going (and now being stoked by Edmund and Revi). As he is retreating, he hears the sound of a scuffle further into the woods. He thinks he even hears a quadruped moving around in the darkness.
Shadow looks around and finally spots a big 'ol spider up in the trees to his left. He also hears the sound of something galloping further into the forest. And then things get tricky. The big 'ol spider shoots another web from his rear and this time Shadow is covered in the nasty goopy web. (You can can escape with a successful DC 13 Escape Artist check or burst the web with a successful DC 17 Strength check. No movement is allowed while in the web.) There is a brief flash of light and then Thar feels his muscles weakening (3 Str. loss).
Wynum charges in and activates his magical hand. Bright light immediately fills the area. Caught off guard by the sudden change in lighting, the four bugbears squint (dazzled...-1 to attacks this round) as they drop their bows and arm themselves with their morningstars. With low growls, they close in on the centaur and pummel him cruelly. (19 damage).
In the forest, Arm and Ruby see a flash of light, and then see Wynum surrounded by attacking bugbears. (Arm and Ruby are within the "dim light" area.) Edmund and Revi catch a flash of light out in the woods and then things get a bit brighter just outside the campfire light.
OOC: Florian, I'm not sure of a Woldian rule on firing into combat. I'll use the PHB's -4 penalty. :)
Edmund (HP: 44/44, AC: 17) Mage Armoured, Fox's Cunning Thursday July 23rd, 2009 1:13:07 AM
Edmund furiously piles wood onto the fire, knowing full well that he is no good at healing or helping with medical arts.
"Arm, Ruby, if you're alright, do you mind giving me a hand here?" he asks them. "We're piling the broken cart onto the fire, so that the others can quickly find their way back--which I hope they will do directly."
Revi AC20/15T/15FF HP 82/86 Thursday July 23rd, 2009 4:56:27 AM
Revi hollars out as loud as she can, "Get back here!!!" to the rest that are still out in the dark.
Arm[HP 33/33 AC 22] d20+9=16 ; d8+6=8 ; Thursday July 23rd, 2009 5:58:41 AM
Nodding at Ruby, Arm takes off toward the flash of light and engages the nearest bugbear menacing Wynum, if he can get there that is (attk: 16, dmg: 8).
OOC: Sorry Ed, but we wouldn't have gotten there until next round at a double move, and we've been occupied with Wynum's plight...be there soon. ;)
Shadow [AC 20/15 HP 47/47] d20+7=11 ; d20+1=8 ; Thursday July 23rd, 2009 9:29:21 AM
Shadow tries to free himself from the spiderweb, but is unsuccessful as he wiggles and moves his body parts almost in ways that seem would cause tremendous pain or in ways that do not seem normal. He then tries to force his way out and is again unsuccessful. "I might need some help here." He calls out as he takes a look at the spider to see what it is doing.

{Mmm OK I sort of figured the buggies would be spread apart, ambush style... That wasn't terribly wise, sorry guys... }
With the sound of rotten tree crashing down, the centaur neatly falls down in a confused, unconscious pile. HOWEVER, it must duly noted, that having gone to sleep earlier, he would have removed his croupbags and hence, not have his last wine jug with him. Ah! Thus is foiled the winebugs plan. They might have my spirits, but they won't get my booze.

((OOC: Arm-- Oops! I read that and then forgot about it when I wrote my post, sorry. Amended below.))
Edmund continues to pile wood on as he sees a brightness near the edge of the clearing.
"Well they must be getting close," Edmund says as he breathlessly piles wood onto the growing blaze. "I don't think the enemy would be making lights in the wood, seeing as how their whole game is to play in the darkness and doubtless lead us off into all sorts of traps and pits and so on."
"Return to the camp!" he shouts again. "Now!"
Thar AC 23/24, 69/70 hps, Mag Circle vs. Evil d20+5=19 ; Thursday July 23rd, 2009 2:08:28 PM
Thar continues struggling in the web and yells out loud, "Shadow and I are trapped in these webs and we need some help! There's a spider shooting webs, so beware!!!" He does, however, feel weakened by some sort of effect, but continues resolutely on...
He continues trying to break loose from the web...
Escape Artist = 19....
Once he escapes, he moves behind a tree and at the first chance, moves to aid Shadow in escaping... (without getting webbed himself...)
Ruby [HP: 74/74 - AC: 24(cover)][][] d20+12=28 ; d6+3=5 ; Thursday July 23rd, 2009 6:37:51 PM
Ruby smiles at Arm. "Thanks...I don't want to do that again." She then turns to follow him back towards the camp...but pulls up short when she notes the sudden light. Making out the same thing that Arm does she really wishes that she had brought her bow along with her. Still she falls into step a little behind and off to the left of Arm as they charge into the fight. If she gets there will time to spare, she follows Arm in his idea of engaging a bugbear taking on the same one that he is after.

Edmund and Revi continue to amp up the fire. As the others push the fight.
Arm and Ruby make their way through the forest to help out Wynum, but spend the whole time making it through the trees. They're about 15 feet away from Wynum when they finish their moves. Grinning from ear to ear, the bugbears leave the downed Wynum and make their way over to Arm and Ruby. Two position themselves in flanking position with Arm, and two do the same to Ruby. As they bring down their morningstars, they growl in anticipation. (Arm takes 7 dam, Ruby takes 11).
Shadow tries to get himself out of the web, but just can't manage it. Thar, however, manages to wriggle out (breaking out with Escape artist is a full round action). Just as he realizes that it's a bit brighter outside (inside the dim light area), two more webs shoot his way. The first misses him terribly, but the second glues him in place once more.
OOC: Edmund and Revi are approximately 70 feet away from Thar and Shadow. They can barely make out their struggling forms in the dim light. Also, remember that there's no running allowed in the dense forest.
Personal OOC: Thank you guys so much for the thoughts and prayers! We still don't know exactly what's going on with my son's eye. He finishes up the steroids tomorrow and we see the Opht. again Thursday morning. I hope to know a little more then. Thanks again, and please thank Scott for taking over on such short notice!

Ruby accepts the blow as the price of going to help, though she is not happy about the odds that are against them. She thinks over her tactics and though she thinks it might be a good idea to try and disarm one of her opponents, it might not be the greatest of ideas either.
Giving it a try anyways, she flicks her rapier against the bugbears weapon trying to send it flying and then turns his attention to just cutting into the other one.

Arm and Ruby make it to the rapidly fading Wynum and attack the beasts. Arms scores a hit, while Ruby almost manages to take the morningstar out of the critter's hands. Her follow up blow strikes well, but doesn't penetrate any vital organs. The bugbears growl and raise their weapons, but for some odd reason they beat a hasty retreat back into the darkened forest. (Withdraw, no AoO).
And so, with the bad nasties gone, the Order finds itself once more in the creepy forests of the Monster Preserve.
OOC: Sorry folks, thought I had you covered for my vacation. BTW, my boy still has some issues with his eye, but we're hoping that it's nothing serious. We have an MRI at the end of the month, at which time we'll know more.
Arm[HP 26/33 AC 22] 2d8+8=13 ; Wednesday August 5th, 2009 5:59:08 AM
Sighing at the buggie's retreat, Arm immediately heads to Wynum's side, where he does his best to heal him (cure moderate wounds-13hp restored). As soon as he's able to move on his own, he says to both he and Ruby, "We'd best get back to the rest as soon as we can. No telling what else is out here waiting for us.".
OOC: Welcome back, Nellie! Glad to see that all is not lost with the Order. Our thoughts remain with you and yours, and please keep us informed as to what happens.
Wynum 13/42hp Wednesday August 5th, 2009 11:27:38 AM
Having been down for but a moment thanks to Arm's intervention, Wynum gets up from his "fainting" and gets back to the camp. Having cleared up his mind, he looks wretched.
"Not sure we'll make through the night at this pace. They'll come back, and even if they don't, they successfuly weakened us once more."
Revi AC20/15T/15FF HP 82/86 d20+3=15 ; d20+10=29 ; Wednesday August 5th, 2009 7:41:35 PM
"Aw shucks," Revi says dejectedly, her prey having eluded her and denying her the pleasure of spilling their blood. Walking back to the camp, she hums a pretty tune, but keeps wary of hidden dangers near her. Spot: 15 Listen: 29
Edmund (HP: 44/44, AC: 17) Mage Armoured, Fox's Cunning Wednesday August 5th, 2009 10:22:30 PM
A rather bedraggled Edmund looks up as the various members of the order return to camp, his clothes askew as he stops in mid-toss with a broken piece of cart.
"Finally come back, then?" he asks them. "Running off in the dark, most unwise!"
That said, Edmund drops the bit of wood and steps back away from the blazing fire. One hand tentatively reaches up to wipe something away from his face--sweat. Highly unusual for the Wizard--so much that he is a bit surprised.
"I say," he, in fact, says, "more than a bit warm! Maybe we should move camp? How far is it out of this ridiculous place? Is there somewhere more safe that we could go to rest up and try this again? Really, I'm at a loss of how to proceed."
"Suggestions definitely accepted," he adds, as if it weren't clear enough that he's stumped.
Julian (small size) AC 14, hp/72 =72 Thursday August 6th, 2009 1:27:27 AM
"We all need some sleep. This day did not go so well. Perhaps we need to reconsider the whole thing before we do anything more tomorrow. For now, goodnight."
Arm[HP 26/33 AC 22] Thursday August 6th, 2009 5:54:20 AM
Arm nods in agreement with Julian, "Yes it's best that you rest, especially Ed..we'll probably have need of his spells in the morning. Revi, will you take first watch and perhaps Ruby the second?".
Thar AC 23/24, 69/70 hps, Mag Circle vs. Evil Thursday August 6th, 2009 10:32:12 AM
Even though he hates to let the spiders and their allies escape, Thar knows he's out of spells and now is time time to rest... He takes a quick look over at Ruby to ensure she's safe and assuming she is, he finally can relax and move back to the campsite. "Good idea about moving our camp Ed, since they'll definitely know where we're at from last time. I'll take 1st watch too, so I can rest and memorize my spells for tomorrow."
OOC = I'm glad things haven't worsened and we're definitely keeping you in our prayers Nellie... Let us know how the MRI turns out please...
Wynum 13/42hp d20-1=4 ; d20+6=26 ; Thursday August 6th, 2009 12:23:49 PM
"The good news", the centaur adds after some though, "is that they're probably out of spells, in fact even more than us."
Walking a bit, he comments "I'm afraid we have no other better place to go. But we have a fire, and a warning. If they try this mind trick again, we'll be sure to club each other back to senses, and if we keep the fire going, we'll shut down their advantage in the dark. So I suggest we do watches in pairs. I'll begin with Revi, to benefit from the magical light while it's on. Maybe Ruby can you take the next, with whomever's in?"
Wynum makes sure, during his watch, to walk about, scrutinizing the woods and putting on a good show of being aware of possible nightly ambushes. He also readies his bow, this time.
Listen=4 ; Spot=26
Edmund (HP: 44/44, AC: 17) Mage Armoured, Fox's Cunning Thursday August 6th, 2009 2:50:54 PM
Before lying down to rest, Edmund takes out his dagger--a little thing that looks uncannily like a butter knife--and casts 'Light' on it. He then hands it to whomever wants it.
"There!" he says to the others. "Whoever is on watch can keep this if they like, or leave it here. It should last for a while at least, and may be a help in the meantime."
Edmund then retires to try and get some sleep.
(Light has a duration of 80m)
Ruby [HP: 63/74 - AC: 24(cover)][][] Thursday August 6th, 2009 8:20:10 PM
Ruby slips both weapons back into their respective sheaths once they get back to camp. She does not look none too happy about the fact that she ran off after what was a decoy. Merely grunting with the comment from Edmund she goes back over to take a seat on her bedroll. "Second watch is fine." Though this has turned into a total farce so far, she is more than ready for a little sleep now.
Absently she reaches up to rub at the spot where she had gotten punctured earlier and is glad that the message spell had been down. She turns a slight shade of red but rolls into a prone position to get a little sleep.
Don't Let the Bedbugs Bite (DM Nellie) Friday August 7th, 2009 12:16:31 AM
With the foes vanquished from the battlefield, the Order heads back to the campsite and prepare to rest once again. Watches are set, and the fire and daylight spells provide a good deal of illumination for the first hour of the watch.
Slowly but surely the daylight spells sputter and then wink out, but the fire is kept going. Wynum and Revi keep a good watch, as do the others after them. Thankfully, no enemy are spotted, and as the sun rises the spellcasters awaken and find themselves refreshed and ready to prepare spells for the day.
OOC: Okay, so I'm being nice by not attacking again at night. Shrug, must be getting soft in my old age. ;) Please use tomorrow and **email** to work out a strategy for the day attack. Also, please don't forget to calculate in the night attack's damage (including the Str. loss in your stats). Thanks so much for the well wishes. :)
Arm[HP 26/33 AC 22] Friday August 7th, 2009 5:53:04 AM
Arm awakens somewhat groggily at first, but quickly comes about to his full faculties. Stretching, he eyes his surroundings, making sure that everyone is OK. While he waits for the others to rise, he ponders the situation and how they can go about assailing the mountain.
Thar AC 23/24, 69/70 hps, Mag Circle vs. Evil Friday August 7th, 2009 2:20:47 PM
Thar rests through the night and wakes up with a nice, fresh set of spells memorized for the upcoming battle. He does, however, get up a little bit earlier than the others and if he can find some nice flowers to pick in a safe location, gathers them up and leaves them next to Ruby, hoping they'll brighten her day. After all, with the upcoming battle, they'll need all the sunshine they can handle...
After eating a light breakfast, he says his morning prayers. Once done, he joins the others in deciding their battle strategy...
(OOC = Nellie, how long does the strength loss last? Also, we need to make sure we take into account the healing we get overnight...)
Edmund (HP: 44/44, AC: 17) Mage Armoured, Fox's Cunning Friday August 7th, 2009 4:52:22 PM
Edmund wakes up in the morning and sets about memorising his spells. He also recovers his dagger, much good it will do him.
That done, he discusses strategy with the others.
Edmund (HP: 44/44, AC: 12) Friday August 7th, 2009 4:53:21 PM
Header updated.
Ruby [HP: 70/74 - AC: 23(24dodge)(cover)][][] Friday August 7th, 2009 7:53:41 PM
Ruby wakes early as usual, but finds flowers near her bed and smiles. She picks them up and smells them, inhaling their scent. With a sigh she digs out her journal and using the back pages, presses several of them before storing the book back in her pack.
Her morning is spent in the usual fashion of her going through her training schedule, the elegant dance of rapier and dagger that she does every morning. Though this particular morning she is doing this fully armored, something she does every so often to keep her use to fighting in armor.
When she finally comes to find her breakfast, she stops long enough by Thar to give him a chaste kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, they are beautiful." For the flowers could have only come from him. As she slowly eats she listens to the strategies and gives out bits of her own thoughts...mostly on her skills and what she might be able to offer.
[OOC: Was their extra traditional healing done to anyone before we turned in for the night? Updated header as I noted a problem there, if a small one. :)]
Update (DM Nellie) Friday August 7th, 2009 8:47:04 PM
LOL...I checked on the Str. loss. That's long since worn off, so don't worry about it. :)
Wynum 13/42hp Friday August 7th, 2009 11:29:59 PM
{OOC: I think the only healing we'll get is 1hp/level for those who didn't stand watch (so that's Ed, Julian, and Arm I guess). Thar, remember to memorize enough protection from evil, as it'll ward us against further mind control.}
Now looking poorly rested and still wounded, Wynum has lost much of his pride. He discusses strategy with animation, and rather alarming sparks in his eyes.
Julian (small size) AC 14, hp/72 =72 Saturday August 8th, 2009 3:33:07 AM
Julian jumps out of his tent fully armoured and runs around the camp site 7 or 8 times with his animals.
"Good morning all. What's for breakfast? Think I'll pack for morning tea now."
The halfling eats and eats some more, "You never which will be your last meal, you see..." and eagerly joins the conversation about strategy.
Julian (small size) AC 14, hp/72 =72 Saturday August 8th, 2009 7:21:31 AM
OOC: correction: "You never know which will be your last meal, you see..."
Ruby [HP: 70/74 - AC: 23(24dodge)(cover)][][] Saturday August 8th, 2009 12:57:01 PM
Once strategy had been pretty well planned out, she got Thar's attention and motioned away from the camp. She moved that way herself and stopped a good distance from the camp and waited for him to catch up. A little privacy would be nice for what she wanted to tell him, but she also wanted to be able to see the others.
Once he got to the spot she was standing at she gave a shy smile and then spoke. "Thar, I want to tell you something...well two different things. The problem is that both could lead to greater danger to you." She chewed on her lower lip as she mulled over what she wanted to say, no had to say. Not giving him time to say more or for her to change her mind, she just went into it. "With everything that happened yesterday and last night...I wanted to tell you something. Something that I have never needed to tell anyone else, something that I have never given myself the time to find before now....I love you Thar." She could not help but blush slightly at her own words, but she did not look away from him waiting to see his response. She did not press because if he felt the same way, she wanted him to freely admit it...not tell her what he thought she wanted to hear.
His reply would also make her next revelation harder or easier. She did care for him, deeply, and the fact that she loved him put him in great danger as she said...but the next thing she would tell him would mean more. She shivered slightly as she realized that she would need to ask his opinion on something as well. Trust was not something she had come to give lightly and could she trust all of this group?
Wynum 13/42hp Sunday August 9th, 2009 5:14:48 PM
"Good, we'll have more information soon." the centaur comments as Ruby gets out in the wood "But I'm not sure if Thar's the best candidate for scouting, though."
Shaking his head, he continues chewing on rations.
Arm[HP 33/33 AC 22] 2d8+8=20 ; Monday August 10th, 2009 5:54:44 AM
Arm awakes feeling well rested, and looking over at Wynum, he immediately approaches and heals more of his wounds (cure moderate wounds=20). "There," he says, putting his hand on Wynum's shoulder, "That should put you more in the right for this morning.".
OOC: BTW, the item that I mentioned in the email that we should get for Ed is NOT hombrew...I finally found it!! LOL It's called "Heward's Fortifying Bedroll", and it's located on page 132 of the Complete Mage. I don't know if that's allowable in the Wold or not, but I just thought I'd put it out there... :)
Revi AC20/15T/15FF HP 82/86 Monday August 10th, 2009 6:08:47 AM
Revi looks around, obviously not having paid any attention to what was going on. "Whats the plan again? If it involves me killing those bastards, I'm in."
Edmund (HP: 44/44, AC: 12) Monday August 10th, 2009 6:52:25 PM
OOC: Alack, Len, it's not allowed. We'd have to create a 'similar' item and then get approval for it to be a Wold-specific item. Much to my chagrin, the Wold only uses the Core Rulebooks and the Epic Handbook.
(...possibly. In one place in the Wold's Rules it says the campaign doesn't use the Epic, and in another place it says it does. The latter is probably the case, and the rules simply weren't updated when it was allowed. This is more likely than it being allowed and then prohibited later.)
Wynum 33/42hp Monday August 10th, 2009 6:54:06 PM
"Thanks Arm. I think I should stay out of harm, lest I drain all the party's spells."
Finishing his meal, he responds to Revi. "Well, maybe we could do a litte scouting together in the woods while Ruby goes to check the cliff. Or better, go with Jiulian, otherwise I will end up wounded, who knows, by thorny bushes?"
Julian (small size) AC 14, hp/72 =72 Monday August 10th, 2009 10:13:02 PM
"Yeah, it's more fun up on the front line than in the gorse bush! I'm looking forward to this one, but we've gotta leave it to the thinkers to get us all up there."
Edmund (HP: 44/44, AC: 12) Tuesday August 11th, 2009 1:18:55 AM
((OOC: I will be taking my books down to Chicago tomorrow and returning on Wednesday. It is possible I may not be able to post either day, but I will try.
I'll be making the final trip down on Sunday next with the cat and my clothes, &c. And before you ask, yes, I do need an entire trip just for the books (which I HOPE will all fit). Professors have large libraries, and I'm no exception!))
Arm[HP 33/33 AC 22] Tuesday August 11th, 2009 5:48:46 AM
Arm smiles at Wynum and says, "Healing a friend is never a waste of a spell.". He then relates his plans to the rest regarding his summoning of a celestial hippogriff to create a diversion, but listens as well to THEIR plans as they try to hammer out a more beneficial plan of attack on the ledge. To Thar and Ruby he says, "Take the utmost care when scouting, and report back when you can.".
OOC: Yes, Ed..I looked it up after I posted it. It's a shame, too..that is one COOL item.. :)
Thar AC 23/24, 69/70 hps, Mag Circle vs. Evil d20+19=23 ; d20+11=27 ; d20+11=25 ; d20+10=12 ; d20+13=25 ; Tuesday August 11th, 2009 4:19:01 PM
Thar nods at Arm's suggestion, and gathers his equipment to do some scouting. He gathers foilage, dirt, etc to prepare his camoflage and avoid detection.
Once he's ready, he looks at Ruby and says, "Are you ready? We seem to make a good team, don't we (with a hopeful smile)? I must admit that I had hoped our first "walk in the woods" was something less dangerous.... Once you're set, let's go...
At her signal, he'll move back towards the "Hill of Doom" and begin searching along the flanks of the hill for possible hidden entrances, trails that show use, or other markers of a safer way into the hill. When he finds a trail, he'll try to see where it leads and if possible, maybe it will show where the bugbears go for hunting, gathering supplies, etc. After all, they certainly have an easier way of gathering resources than climbing up and down a dangerous, steep cliff...
(OOC = I still need to know what the result was re: our strength loss and when it wears off...)
Ruby [HP: 70/74 - AC: 23(24dodge)(cover)][][] d20+14=29 ; d20+6=8 ; d20+14=28 ; d20+6=21 ; d20+12=24 ; Tuesday August 11th, 2009 9:11:19 PM
Ruby frowns and then looks to Thar, her face hardening. She punches him not too lightly in the arm. "Have you been listening to a word I just said?" Her temper flares and she glares at him for a few more minutes before stomping off to start the scouting. Her voice is low as she moves away, anger very apparent and she is cursing herself for admitting something that she considered so important.
She pulls her rapier out as she moves along and uses it to stab at a couple of imaginary enemies, trying her best to get the anger out of her system before the assault the cliffs. If not, she may not be as focused as she should on the more important matters.
Arm[HP 33/33 AC 22] d20+13=32 ; d20+7=12 ; Wednesday August 12th, 2009 5:48:04 AM
Arm stares wistfully at the pair as they depart on their scouting mission, thinking back to when he and Mira were an 'item', though it seemed they had a better time of it than these two do. Nonetheless, he silently wishes them both well, in their mission and their future together. Settling down in an advantageous spot, he scans the area for possible threats, as this would most definitely not be a good time to be caught unaware (listen=32, spot=12) while awaiting their return.
Revi AC20/15T/15FF HP 82/86 Wednesday August 12th, 2009 10:51:17 PM
Revi shakes her head as the pair take off to scout, "They'll be staring in each others eyes instead of their surroundings." Looking over at Julian, "So Jules, you and me, eh? A little ultraviolence?"
Scouting (DM Nellie) Wednesday August 12th, 2009 11:55:01 PM
The scouts head out (Julian and Revi??), looking for signs of the pesky spiders. Heading back into the forest, the scouts find no signs of any resistance.
OOC: Guys, I'm working on getting someone to fill in for me. In the meantime, can you please let me know what your scouting plan is (scouts go all the way to the cave??). Also, items in the Epic books are not allowed in the Wold. Sorry. :(
Julian (small size) AC 14, hp/72 =72 Thursday August 13th, 2009 12:28:19 AM
OOC: The Scouts are Thar and Ruby. Jules and Revi are waiting to be told who to dice and slice....
Revi AC20/15T/15FF HP 82/86 Thursday August 13th, 2009 3:58:35 AM
"I betcha I can take out more, Jules." Indicating the inhabitants of the cave, "Care to wager, or don't you gamble either?" Revi looks curiously at the halfling, waiting for his answer.
Julian (small size) AC 14, hp/72 =72 Thursday August 13th, 2009 5:22:14 AM
"I"ll take a wager with you, what are you offering?"
Arm[HP 33/33 AC 22] Thursday August 13th, 2009 5:56:48 AM
Arm watches the new display between his remaining companions, and is grateful that Revi has fit in well with their group, dwindling though it may be. "What DID ever happen to Shadow?" he wonders to himself, as no one seems to have mentioned him.
Thar AC 23/24, 69/70 hps, Mag Circle vs. Evil Thursday August 13th, 2009 11:24:44 AM
Thar's goal is to at least go partially into the cave, at least to try to see what's in the opening, any traps or potential hostile forces.
Mostly, his goal is to find out a way to get to the cave w/o being observed by the enemy...
Edmund (HP: 44/44, AC: 12) Thursday August 13th, 2009 2:28:01 PM
((OOC: Nellie, the House Rules (http://www.woldiangames.com/Woldipedia/index.php/House_Rules) section says, at the top under 'OFFICIAL BOOKS': The PHB3.5, DMG3.5, and the MM3.5, and EHB3.0 (EpicHB) (with EHB 3.5 online update) are the only books that are considered official... Material from the EpicHB is available for characters of level 15 and above. This indicates that the Epic HB is allowed.
However, in the section entitled 'EPIC POLICY', the rules state: The Wold does not use the Epic Handbook. Characters may take the epic feats listed in the DMG upon reaching 15th level, if they qualify for them.
Jerry should probably be alerted to this contradiction, as it seems much like the issue I discovered regarding the conflicting information about Hero Point XP awards.))
Edmund (HP: 44/44, AC: 12) Thursday August 13th, 2009 2:32:55 PM
Edmund remains at camp and glances around, looking for Shadow.
"Hmm," he says in response to Arm's question. "Maybe something to do with his guild? Pretty shady folks. They might have an outpost out here. Maybe he was called up?"
In the meantime, Edmund waits impatiently for the scout group to hurry back, worried that they might be attacked again.
Revi AC20/15T/15FF HP 82/86 Thursday August 13th, 2009 3:33:43 PM
"Hah, what's it worth to ya, or should I say, how much can you afford?" Revi smiles gleefully, like taking candy from a baby, she thinks to herself.
Julian (small size) AC 14, hp/72 =72 Thursday August 13th, 2009 7:58:41 PM
"I'll stake my magic quiver here. Winner has the higher KO count when we've cleaned out the cave. I like to leave some for the Talkers," pointing his thumb at Edmund, "to talk to. And that druid would prefer them to live, something about them being 'misled' rather than 'pure evil'."
OOC remember that Julian does NonLethal Damage, so a strict 'kill count' won't work. Offering Epona's (?) Quiver www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#efficientQuiver for the bet, empty though.
Ruby [HP: 70/74 - AC: 23(24dodge)(cover)][][] Thursday August 13th, 2009 8:20:37 PM
Though she has done it once already, Ruby will be scouting the surrounding area near the cave to see if there are other entrances hidden or ways inside. Maybe an easier path that might be taken to get cave entrance as well. Otherwise she is rather flustrated with Thar right now and is most likely not going to talk to him right away.
Revi AC20/15T/15FF HP 82/86 Thursday August 13th, 2009 10:40:53 PM
"Hmm," Revi murmurs as she rubs her chin, "I don't do only knock out's per se. If I put a bugbear or whatever down, dead or alive, that counts as one, right? What about large or huge creatures, how many points for them?"
Wynum 33/42hp Thursday August 13th, 2009 11:19:18 PM
Hiding his jealousy, Wynum whispers a side comment at Edmund:
"Barbarians, gambling. Pah! Can they even count their kills?"
Julian (small size) AC 14, hp/72 =72 Friday August 14th, 2009 12:20:17 AM
"Down and out for the rest of the fight. Knocked down but they get back up doesn't count. "What's your wager?"
Edmund (HP: 44/44, AC: 12) Friday August 14th, 2009 1:16:04 AM
Edmund rolls his eyes as Julian and Revi make complicated bets on knocking beerbugs about.
"I thought we were the ones who do all the talking," he mutters to Wynum. "Time to show 'em how it's done."
Clearing his throat, the wizard addresses the two barbarians. "Less discourse methinks. Here's an idea, Julian: let's chop their heads off. We've been nice once, and it nearly got us all killed twice. Time to make an example of them. Stow the mercy knife and hit them with something that has a bit more bite, what what? Revi doubtless can show you how it's done."
Edmund is normally the first person to try and talk his way out of a situation; on his first outing in Plateau City he physically assaulted Arm for attacking unarmed-but-misled people. This time, however, the wizard is taking no prisoners and giving no quarter.
"It's well and good to be nice when you have enough force that you have the luxury of affording your opponents mercy. But when the fight is close and your numbers are down and the other side is intent upon making sure not even bones remain of you--well, then it is time to set aside such things, hey hey? We've really been more than gentle enough so far, but quite frankly, I'm all-out with being shot at and nearly minced. Being merciful is of little use if it gets us killed; you can't question people when you're dead yourself."
"This time," Edmund says resolutely, "things will be different."
Revi AC20/15T/15FF HP 82/86 d20+10=11 ; Friday August 14th, 2009 2:50:51 AM
"Excuse me, Eddy, ol' pal o' mine, but Jules baby and I are forming a deal, kapiche?" Turning back to the halfling, "So down for the fight, okay... I've got this Amulet of Natural Armor(+1) which is worth a little more than your quiver. Add 200gp and we're square on the wager. Oh, and like I asked before, what about something big, like a giant or something, how many points for that one?"
Julian (small size) AC 14, hp/72 =72 Friday August 14th, 2009 5:46:03 AM
"Counts as two? Fair enough for bigger things? And smaller counts for half? "What about split kills? Can't have you counting one for each one that was already cooked by Eddy, skewered by Wynumm, hamstrung by Ruby and slashed by Arm."
"Okay Eddy, I'll charge in my lance first up, but the 'Mercy Knife' puts 'em down quicker than anything else I have. I suppose I can lose some of the damage to make it permanent, but I'll have to think on it. I can only pray that Domi will help me to make the right choice."
Julian (small size) AC 14, hp/72 =72 Friday August 14th, 2009 5:48:36 AM
"Oh, and sure, I'll make up the difference in coins."
Arm[HP 33/33 AC 22] Friday August 14th, 2009 5:55:44 AM
Not realizing that he spoke aloud, Arm replies to Edmund, "Yes, I suppose that could be the case. Hopefully when Shadow gets there, he'll send someone he feels adequate to replace him.". As he listens to Ed's discourse with the other two, it shocks him to realize that he finally made sense for once.
Julian (small size) AC 14, hp/72 =72 Friday August 14th, 2009 7:03:02 AM
"Oh, Eddy, while you're listening," the halfling talks to the mage while undoing the latches on his armour, "Perhaps you can shrink us and use less Fly spells, if say, Wynumm carried us."
OOC Reduce Person = 1/8th weight...
Wynum 33/42hp Friday August 14th, 2009 12:03:09 PM
Listening to the barbarians' braggings and plans, not to mention his use as a cargo ship, Wynum nervously stomps his hooves, muttering:
"Well.. her goes tactics and plans. A beheading contest!"
Turning around in frustration, he suddenly freezes and adresses Edmund.
"Oh well. Come to think of it. Yes, send them up there if that's what they want. I'll stay out and count the heads that fly down for them, right? That way everybody's happy. Well... except, maybe... the druid."

Edmund shakes his head when Julian suggests making them smaller.
"Not possible, I'm afraid," he says. "But no worries. I'd feel bad making Wynum into a stagecoach for miniature people."
"At any rate," he continues. "I'm ready when you are. As soon as the scouts return, we'll deliver a short, sharp lesson."

"Hold on Winnie, no use in getting flustered, we're just wagering about the ones we take down, not forgetting the plan, whatever it is." Turning back to Jules, "Split kills will be difficult, say Eddy boy flames a bunch of them, leaving none unscathed, that's a lot of points not attainable. I say half points for one's already injured by someone else, hows about that?"
Julian (small size) AC 14, hp/72 =72 Friday August 14th, 2009 11:53:53 PM
"Good, quite a fine plan. Two points for big. One for normal. Half points if already hurt. "I'll have to avoid the injured ones, or count them separately."
"Eddy, there's my Wand of," the halfing takes on a mock aristocratic tone, "Maketh Thee Small-ee!" Then in a serious tone, "Sorry Wynumm, I didn't mean to make a pack-horse of you, just trying to save spells."
"Revi, when we attack, can you drop your shoulder, knock 'em down and run on through? It'd be great if the two of us were to attack from behind.

"Yeah, overrun them and flank them, can do. We just have to make sure we don't get flanked either." Revi extended her hand to seal the deal.
Julian (small size) AC 14, hp/72 =72 Saturday August 15th, 2009 9:23:42 PM
More than happy to do so, the halfling shakes Revi's hand, "This should be fun."
Shaking off the last of his breastplate he comments to himself more than anyone else, "I think I've got this armour thing sorted - and it doesn't include this metal hindrance."
Julian begins to ready for the battle, retrieving some focus items, a scroll, weapons. He calls his badger familiar to him and looks over his riding saddle, "Still fits nicely, hey Shark. We are going to have a great time today. Just you wait to see what we can do."
