A Wizard's Fate: Turn 62
Friday April 25th, 1997 5:00:40 AM
Nonam goes into the room with the circle. He will glance at the circle and attempt to determine its purpose, and he immediately goes to the lectern and looks at the parchment. Nonam searches his memory and realizes that the circle is used for summoning creatures from other planes. More than likely evil creatures. The writing on the parchment is indecipherable. (Actually this had been decided beforehand, it was not as a result of the ongoing discussion about scrolls)

"I would suggest that no one step in or on the circle, it would be BAD." Chala says, moving around the room to the lectern, seeing if there is any writing on the parchment. The writing on the parchment is also not readable for Chala.

Gareth says to Jus and Nonam "You seem to know a lot about magic. What should we do?" Gareth stands battle ready.

David says: Too high for me right now on the Rush tickets. We're closing on 2.5 acres of land this week and need extra cash for emergencies. 20% down and all that. I still haven't looked at McAfee web page. I intend to update mine this week sometime so I'll tell you what I find.

Jerry says: I've got McAfee up and running, but as I mentioned in my personal email to you, I don't know how to upgrade to the registered version of which I'm allowed seeing I paid for it. I also want to know how to upgrade new virus files into the program. Do I just download and copy it into the main program folder or what?

Tom says: Sorry, I had phone problems over here, so I wasn't able to log on All fixed now though.

Jerry says: I'm glad you are back up and online. :)

JK says: 1) p. 145 in the DMG2 gives the pertinent information on the scrolls. It basically says that nothing on the scroll can be read without the 'read magic' spell. However, it says that most scrolls are found in a scroll case which has the name of the spell (and frequently magical instructions as to how to open the case) on it. However, it does say that frequently 'read magic' is needed to read the case, but it is not always necessary. It also suggests that sometimes the cases are written in strange languages so that 'comprehend languages' is necessary to read the case instead of 'read magic.'

Incidentally it also says that scroll maps are indecipherable until 'comprehend languages' is used to read them.

2) I'd love to go to the Rush show, but $100 is too much for me. Esp. since I don't get paid over the summer.

Jerry says: I understand both statements. I guess in the former, the differences is used to create role-playing situations. So be it. Scrolls will have to be checked to see what is needed to read each one as different wizards record, store, and protect their scrolls differently. :)

As far as the Rush concert goes, I think everyone has backed out.

John says: Please forward to anyone you think may want to know. My apologies if I missed someone.

John says:

Hey everyone!

For those that have not heard, Tina had our baby on April 23 at 9:22a.m. She weighed 4lbs. 6.75 ounces with an overall length of 18". After deliberating for a couple of days we decided to call her Liliana Marie. We had a couple of more common ones, but didn't think they would go with our current kid's names Delania and Quinn.

Feel free to reply if any of you have questions.

Now for more detail than any of you want to know but may satisfy your curiosity. Don't worry Dennis, these are details concerning Liliana, not the actual birth; those I'll wait to tell you when I can see you squirm. Please be aware that my cheapo spell checker does not contain a medical word dictionary and the medical terminology is from memory only.

Being so small, Liliana had a high Hermatic. Basically, the ratio of her red blood cells to the other blood fluids was high. She had to be put on an IV for about a day to hydrate her to get this back in balance. However, this high increase in fluids caused some electrolyte, sodium, and potassium imbalances that had to be taken care of. To put it bluntly, they had to get her to urinate. Well the IV corrected everything for the second day. The third day (Friday? It has gone by very fast) she was taken back off the IV, and her balances got off again. Back on the IV again. Now they detected ?creotin? which usually means a kidney problem. Thankfully, another chemical which accompanies the creotin when there is a kidney problem was not present. Nurses and Pediatrician were both baffled. A Neonatalogist (baby specialist) was called in and came in Saturday night. By that time, Liliana was on the IV for almost 24 hours and EVERYTHING was back to normal. So... since lunch today, Sunday, we are back off the IV and feeding her regularly. The specialist went on and had a ultrasound of Lili's kidneys and an x-ray of her intestines just to make sure all is OK. They came back with no identified problems. BIG relief for us parents. The Neonatalogist said her "professional opinion" is that this was just one of those things babies take care of themselves, and that all of this probably originated from the red blood cell problem she had at birth. We now have to have everything stay stable for 24 hours without the IV. The specialist is very confident that we will not have any more problems, but if the 24 hours does not check out successfully, there is some more testing we will have to do for other, more rare, conditions.

That's all for the summary of the gritty details.

Tina and I have been staying at the hospital while this has been going on and will be here until we bring Liliana home. Hopefully this will be Monday or Tuesday, but we just have to wait and see.

Talk with you later, Babylon 5 is about to start...

Jerry says: Well I think that explains where John has been. We'll play on without him for the nonce. Congratulations John and we'll keep your wonderful new daughter in our prayers. Selah!

Jerry says: Well kids, things have been slow, and even though this is TAAS testing week, I'm going to try (once again, sigh) to pick things up. So you may see me running some turns with only one or two people taking actions. Everyone here is responsible and always does what they can. Just keep remembering that when you don't get a turn, there is usually a reason and many times it's not me that is slow. Nuff said.

If nothing happens and nothing is found Gareth moves back into the hall. And goes to the next door (clockwise). Listens and hearing nothing, opens the door. (This would be the second door on the right going counter-clockwise from the statue room, or the first door clock-wise after the door at 12o'clock (which is the "runes on the floor" room). The door opens to reveal a 20' wide by 30' deep room (Gareth is facing South) with the door on the north portion of the NW corner. A dirt-stained rug covers the floor of this unlit chamber. At the far end of the room is a splintered desk. A beautiful woman dressed in white sits behind the desk, her expression pale and emotionless as she stares at you unblinking. Near her stand a pair of huge skeletons, each 7' tall and wielding a fearsome battle axe.

David says: Jerry, I did not know that you paid for McAfee. You should call their customer support; or in the documentation it should tell you where to download the new virus files. It should also give any passwords you need. If not your best bet is to call them. I didn't realize you were coming down to see Volcano Saturday. We should have had lunch or something. You have to remember that mules are very understanding once you get their attention. I really can catch on with effort.

Sincerely, Unamware (or maybe Aclueistic)

Jerry says: Ok, will do. I'll call them. Paying for it was the only way to get protection from new viruses as they come out.

Volcano was not worth the money. Rent the video.

Observation, now that we've/I've seen several movies at stadium theaters. Not all sound or look the same. The first movie we saw (ID4) at the theater on Highway 121 was the best overall experience. It also is the only one in what they call a size 24 theater that has been superior in sound. The Star Wars at the AMC Grand in Dallas didn't compare, but I think it was THX movie sound in a Sony type theater since Lucusfilm puts out THX. The (24) size theater in North Richardson near your house was also THX. Kim said that this theater had one of each kind of sound, but the people there assured me that both were the same. Again disappointing sound compared to ID4. I have had one experience besides the ID4 that makes me believe that I was not just imagining things that day. I saw The Saint a few weeks back at the AMC Grand in a (16) size theater. Superb sound there. While a huge action scene was going on all around, a small radio was playing the Love Theme that moved around the room depending on the angle of the camera. That whole movie (sound wise) was superb. I recommend it in that setting highly.

Conclusions: Not sure yet, but I think the difference is in the sound...Sony vs. THX. THX. Now sounds old and antiquated.

Jerry says: I'm having trouble booting up the Master of Orion game again.....sigh since the last time in the shop. I called them several times now, and have made a boot disk to run the game in DOS mode using a program they have called BootAll v1.7. Once booted, I have to go to the windows directory and type Dosstart.bat to enable the CDRom. That enabled the program to run except that I have no DOS Mouse Driver. STORM Computers are going to install that for me in a few days.

Just thought you'd enjoy that story. :)

Chala shakes her head, remembering that she can't use scrolls.. <grin> but stays near the lectern in case Noman needs her help in some way.

Jus asks Nonam, "Are you going to take that parchment? Maybe Loren could read it?"

Jus pauses at the door to the room with the beautiful woman. He asks if anyone knows what Erilyn looks like.

Gareth looks over his shoulder and motions for the others, turns back to the woman without entering the room and says as pleasantly as he can manage, "Hello! How are you today? What is your name?"

There is no response. She does not move and continues to stare unblinkingly forward.

David says: Sony seems better to me as well. I do, however, disagree about which theater is the best. Is saw ID4 at Tinseltown (121 theater) with you and I also saw ID4 at the AMC Grande in Dallas. I, by a huge margin, give the AMC Grande in Dallas first place. I did not enjoy ID4 nearly as much at Tinseltown (except of course the company). The screen wasn't as crisp and the sound was almost weak in comparison to AMC Grande. You have to sit up high enough to avoid the sore neck thing but as long as you position yourself correctly that is not a problem. I guess its that way at all of them. Tinseltown is the only theater I've been to that has the 24 size theater. AMC Grande had the 16 or maybe 20(?). I must agree, though, about Star Wars sound not being the caliber of ID4. I can see why you would choose Tinseltown 'ID4' to AMC Grande 'Star Wars'. It sounds (no pun intended) that we need to do some more research! Just kills me to have to subject myself to that (Ha!).

Jerry says: Ah, I agree with you 100%. I also didn't like the chair seating arrangement at the North Richardson theater...It wasn't steep enough. The chair in front of you came up all the way to your chest. It didn't effect the line of sight or quality of sound, but was not as ascetically pleasing.

David says: Never a dull moment in the computer world for you is there? Maybe you should upgrade to Window 97 just to make life more interesting (only if you enjoy pain)?

Jerry says: I would pay $200 every 6 months just to have no computer problems. I don't enjoy them at all.

John says: Hey people. I'm not back from the dead, but thought I might as well make a quick response since I was using the computer anyway.

Later, jrk

Jerry says: John, I'm glad everything is going well. I keep you in my prayers.

Tom says: Here's a question. How do priest read their scrolls? It doesn't mention their equivalent spell (if any), I could never figure it out, I guess that its one of those granted abilities. What is your idea on this?

Jerry says: I agree with you Tom. Priest spells are not ever hidden in any way by language or magic.

John continues: Now for the latest update... We are going home today sometime after lunch. There was a couple of things that needed to be checked before Liliana could be released. No problems were found, although we still need to have periodic tests for a while to ensure nothing was missed.

Jerry says: We celebrate the healthy arrival of another future D&D player and BAB5 fan. Not to mention a future son of John....:)

Gareth decides to wait for everyone before he does anything. He moves a step to the right in the doorway to see if the woman follows him with her head or eyes. He's not sure because of the distance, but he detects no response from her and she does not seem to be following him with her eyes.

He also looks at her closely for any marks, jewelry, restraints, etc that would indicate if she were captive in some way. She wears a gilded golden bracelet set with emerald chips which is in perfect style with her white dress, however nothing about the bracelet or the dress shows any sign of restraining her.

He looks the skeletons over and looks for movement. He sees none from the doorway.

If no one has anything to offer as far as advise Gareth steps back and shuts the door and says: "Any reason to pick a fight? Maybe we should come back later. We haven't been real quiet and they didn't do anything. Lets leave them alone for now. I'll bet they are there when we come back."

If somebody else offers insight Gareth listens and says nothing and listens.

Nonam has been staring at the scroll trying to decipher it or at least make a guess as to what language its in. When he decides that he can figure out nothing about it, he blinks a few times and looks around wondering where everyone is. He rolls up the scroll, and tucks it away in the hopes that Loren can be of help. Then he looks about and tries to memorize the set up of the room in case Loren wants to know about it. He walks to the door, and looks back to the room to make sure that he didn't miss anything like a book. Then he shakes his head and walks out into the hall.

Nonam hears the voices down the hall and moves to see what they're doing. He pauses in the doorway and quickly takes in the situation. He then looks at Gareth, "Maybe she needs to be kissed by a handsome hero to be awakened from the spell." It's hard to tell if he's joking.

Gareth steps back and closes the door. He says "They haven't messed with us so far. Let's see if we can just keep going and get them on the way out if we feel the need. I bet they don't move."

Jerry says: I sent everything I got. This was received on Friday.

JK says: Figured I was entitled to a long turn.

Jerry says: No problem JK. We won't mention the "small" fact that JK's address disappeared from my address macro for an unexplained reason about turn 62. Sorry about that JK.

JK says: John, congratulations on the baby. Hope everything returns to normal for you soon.

David says: One thing I have discovered about Windows95 is that they constantly upgrade it and don't tell anybody. Which means yours works different than mine. Look on the cover and tell me what version you have. Or look in the 'About" box usually located on the help screen to get the same information (probably most likely the best place to look). You can sometimes get Microsoft to trade you a new one if you have an older copy with a lot of trouble.

Jerry says: I tried several of those things to get the version that I have. I was unsuccessful. Any suggestions guys?

David says: Congrats to John. He's a great father and husband. Liliana is a lucky girl.

Chala says, "Well, I don't think we will get anything done until we step in there. Any objections? "

She, pauses and then begins to step across the threshold of the door.

Nonam speaks to Gareth, "Did you try to move the girl or anything like that?"

Gareth moves to the next door, listens and opens it. (I'm assuming that this is the door facing south that is directly to the right of the exit of the Statue room when facing out of the statue room and to the right of the room with the girl in it....the third door clockwise from the north.) This room opens into a hallway going forward/south for 20' and turning left/west at the 20' mark.

Before everyone leaves, Jus looks at the woman to see if she resembles to local folk in clothing or facial features -- to try and get an idea if this could be Erilyn.

She is wearing local clothing that doesn't look antiquated. She is young and freshly clean looking.

Chala walks toward the woman, trying to see if she reacts to her presence. She will also keep an eye on the skeletons, seeing if they react as well.

Nonam goes into the room w/ Chala. "Gareth's running off again, but I think she is the one we came here to find." He begins searching the room for clues as to why the woman is sitting still or as to who she is.

Jus says, "I agree, I think we should investigate this room while we still have a chance. There is no telling how many of those stone traps there are in here. It would be a shame to get ourselves in a position where we cannot return."

Jus follows Chala into the room.

Gareth waits to see if anybody dies before proceeding any further.

.....as the brave, brave adventurers enter the room with the giant skeletons and the beautiful woman in suspended animation, they do so with the knowledge that they are genuinely heroes of the first quality and that they risk their lives for goodness, Elenna, and the Adventurer's Credo: "That which has a door, must be entered."

Nonam immediately casts 'Burning Hands' at the skeleton closest to him (he will position himself so that he won't catch any of his companions or the woman in the area of effect). He spreads his hands with held thumbs and sprays the skeleton on the left for 5 hit points damage. It silently opens it's mouth in pain but keeps coming.

Then he gets his back up to the wall (the wall with the door) for a little protection and to clear the doorway so Gareth can come in if he so chooses.

Gareth springs into action, leaps into the room and engages the first skeleton with sheild and sword. He rolls an 11 and hits the center skeleton for 19 points of damage felling the creature in one mighty blow.

Chala brings her quarterstaff up, ready to meet the skeletons and strikes in unison with Gareth. Seeing that Gareth strikes the center skeleton she goes for the one on the left. She rolls a 14 and swipes at the skeleton for 4 points damage. She notices that blunt weapons seem to work very well against these creatures for it appears that her 4 points damage had a greater effect by proportion than Gareth's sword.

The remaining two skeletons attack with their full 7' of height.

One attacks Chala and misses.

The other attacks Nonam and hits for 3 points damage. Definitely a glancing blow.

Jus comes to Nonam's rescue, drawing both of his swords and engaging. His longsword hits with a 15 and the shortsword misses with a 11 doing 10 points damage to the massive skeleton. It continues to drag itself forward despite it's crushed ribcage.

All of a sudden, Nonam notices a spinning key hanging inside the right skeleton's crushed ribcage.

Jerry says: I don't think that will work, John. Since combat all happens at the same time, though we play it out as turn based, until I roll initiative for all combatants, no one can know who is first or last. It's better to send to me only during combat and give me lots of "if then" options if that applies to your situation.

David says: Oh well, I guess we'll die together. (party and I; also DM and I) Jerry says: They are ignoring us Dave. Can I kill them now? Huh? Please?

Chala yells, "Blunt weapons! If you have'em, use em!" She continues her attack on the left skeleton and misses with a 5.

Nonam leaps on the left skeleton with the spinning key trying to knock the creature down and grab the key at the same time. (Really, that's what I rolled!) He rolls a 20, knocking the skeleton down with the same stroke that he grabs the key with. The skeleton takes 2 points damage.

Jus attacks the skeleton on the right again, trying to get himself between the skeleton and Nonam. He misses with a 4.

Gareth spins and engages the skeleton fighting Chala. He swings his sword with a mighty yell. He does not turn his back on the woman if at all possible. He rolls a 3 missing the skeleton.

The skeletons attack first in round 3. The left skeleton rises to his feet and spins to face Gareth leaving his back to Chala and Nonam.

The right skeleton attacks Jus. He rolls an 11 and also misses.

Nonam spins around and throws two daggers at the skeleton on the right. The first dagger misses with a 4 spinning past the skeletons head to hit the wall and stick there.

The second dagger misses with a 6 and hits Jus instead in the shoulder. The dagger does 1 point of damage to Jus.

Chala continues to attack, trying to bring down the skeleton she is on. She rolls a 4 missing the skeleton.

Jus tries attacking again. He hits with a 14 and does 6 points damage to the skeleton on the right severing the head which flies into the frozen woman's lap. Another skeleton dispatched.

Gareth charges the remaining skeleton bashing it with sheild and following through to smash it up against the wall. He does 16 points to it splintering it into a million pieces. He then swings again swirling the pieces around in the air one more time causing them to spray everyone in the room harmlessly with bone fragments.

The mighty heroes win the battle!

Campaign news of import: This will be formally announced when you hit town....but... King Claudia of New Elenna is dead. She committed suicide after it turned out that her half red-dragon twin children were innately evil. The Gold Dragons forced the issue to be investigated. Oratai, High Patriarch of Plateau City performed the spell and was enveloped with the holy presence of Alemi rendering the Alignment Detection to be true without a doubt. The high priests of the rest of the gods were called to the scene. Sometime during the ensuing confusion, Joe The Hand, husband and Consort of Claudia stole the children taking them to his private garden within the castle grounds and lovingly broke their necks. A funeral pyre was constructed immediately to prevent Flame the Red Dragon and Father of the evil twins from getting hold of the remains. Sometime after during the confusion following, Claudia, rest her soul stole away to the throne and fell on her sword.

The Noble Sturtevant, friend of the royal couple, was named regent until an election can be held in two weeks for a new High Lord Mayor. More news will be following to be sure.

The local group has finished its first campaign on the new southern continent last week taking a dwarven hammer and artifact to an ancient race of dwarves across a very bizarre area of grasslands.

Then he smashes it on the ground just for grins. He says, "Can anybody help the girl? I don't know if I can.".

Jus looks at Nonam and says "Ow!" He then picks up the dagger that hit him. "Reminds me of someone who once gave me advice about 'shooting arrows in a cave'."

"I can imagine it now," Jus continues with a laugh, "Yes, my sons and daughters, this is the first scar I received in my adventuring. My compatriot, goldfingers, was jealous of the blows I dealt to a skeleton and decided to use me for a pin cushion. Oh well, what can one expect from a human mage?" Jus hands the dagger back to Nonam with a wink.

Gareth examines the girl, desk and room. He looks at the weapons that were carried by the skeletons to check for quality.

The female is a raven-haired woman scarcely more than 20 years old. She is dressed in white, her expression is pale and emotionless. She stares forward motionless and unblinking. She wears a gilded golden bracelet set with emerald chips.

The weapons are large battle axes. They are not exceptional in any way that can be discerned by observation.

The female sits in a chair behind a splintered desk. The desk contains a single space where a drawer used to be. Inside there is a single piece of paper with the word "kizzimic" written on it.

Nonam continues to examine the room looking for anything (other than the girl) which is out of the ordinary.

Nonam finds a small ledge above the door where there is a burned scrap of paper. It has the following poem written on it.

"Do I love you? Yes I do. Id shed my evil ways for you. I'd turn my heart from black to true. My heart, I've given unto you."

Jus looks at the girl and says, "I guess we need to figure out what to do about her." Jus looks around for any more pentagrams or jewelry that may be keeping her in this suspended animation. "Maybe she needs a handsome prince to kiss her! Anyone here qualify?"

I'd like us to keep pushing so we can get this initial module finished up. Then we'll have to see if we can add Tim and Kevin. I feel that Tim has had to wait quite a bit longer than we first anticipated.

I just don't see me running a second group. Perhaps JK will want to, though. I would play in a second group, though.

John, if any of your contacts want to play, we need to begin getting their commitments so we can make the best decision. I think groups of 4 are ideal. Is there any disagreement there? Comments from everyone please.
