Figment Monday June 5th, 2000 2:07:15 PM
Feeling exposed with the disappearance of Ingrge, the mage moves on not having an invisibilty spell left to cast - but he is ready. He quickly eats the fruit from the druid before getting down the trail. He eats all of it, save the seeds which he stows away in one of hismany pockets.
Olana Monday June 5th, 2000 2:07:16 PM
Wondering why Ingrge is choosing such a time to drink, quickly becomes obvious as Olana see's him wink out of sight. Nodding to herself, she continues, following Dakar's and Calliston's directions, not getting too far away to be seen by the rest of the group. She prepares her bow as she walks.
Shadrach Monday June 5th, 2000 4:21:22 PM
Shad hoped the rest of the party didn't decide to disappear. How were they going to follow anyone to find these elves?
Milo Monday June 5th, 2000 7:58:40 PM
Drawing his short sword, the invisible halfling maintains his vigilance as he shadows his friends, ever wary of danger.
Flueterflam Monday June 5th, 2000 10:16:38 PM
Fluet stays quiet, prepared for anything. His breathing even seems to get quieter. Yet, the pounding of his heart never seemed so loud to himself before.
K'nara Tuesday June 6th, 2000 6:32:13 AM
(OOC: belatedly, the marching order is Ingrge [now invisible], Dakar [visibly on point], Olana, then a gap to allow for the use of infravision, Callistan, Fluet & Shadrach, Figment, K'nara, and then Milo.) K'nara's lips twitch as she fights a smile upon hearing Fluet and Shad's slight bickering...it was times like these that she was reminded about her own little brothers back at her native village.
Nature Hike(DM Sam) Tuesday June 6th, 2000 11:04:56 AM
moving down the path is a slow process. with everyone searching for both the missing scouts and signs of a possible ambush, it soon grow dark, and not alot of progress has been made. "We better light the torches." Calistan says "Its getting really dark." once the torches have been lit, Calistan moves back up to the front, next to Darkar. "No offense friend, but I dont think you will be able to find all the path signs in the dark. Ill walk with you." he says as everyone moves on
Ingrge Tuesday June 6th, 2000 11:04:57 AM
Staying just off of the regular path that the group is taking, Ingrge keeps Dakar and now Calistan in his view as he trudges along.
Figment d20=13 Tuesday June 6th, 2000 1:27:49 PM
The mage allows the warriors to carry the torches as he remains ready to cast. He looks around the areas as they become illuminated for any clues as the where the missing elves might be. (Int)
Milo d100=96 Tuesday June 6th, 2000 1:27:50 PM
Moving along behind his friends invisibly, Milo attempts to employ the stealth that has been so valuable to him in the past. As he pads along effortlessly, his bare toe finds an upturned root, smacking into it painfully, "Ow!" Milo plops down in the trail, and grabs his foot, rubbing furiously at his toe. Then, embarrased, stands up quickly, ready to follow once again.
Shadrach Tuesday June 6th, 2000 1:27:51 PM
Shad kept looking up at the trees. He was certain the strange voice that had attacked them with kobolds was behind this.
Dakar the Painmonger Tuesday June 6th, 2000 5:34:26 PM
The dwarf shrugs, continuing to trudge onward. "One way or another we'll find those we seek..."
Olana Tuesday June 6th, 2000 6:59:47 PM
Blinking at the torch for a moment as her eyes adjust, the visible elf sweeps her side (left) of the forest for anything unusual. The distant "ow!" makes her jump for an instant, but recognising the voice, and not hearing anything really distressing, she shrugs, smiles and carries on.
Nature Hike(DM Sam) Wednesday June 7th, 2000 5:28:37 AM
after about another hour of traveling, Darkar, Ingrge, and Olana, along with Calistan, are the first to spy a disturbing site. with their infravision, they see a rapidly cooling trail of blood leading off into the woods. its a pretty wide trail, looking like it might of been make by a body being dragged. "Oh my goodness......" Calistan says as he kneels where the trail begins, cupping his face in his hands
Figment Wednesday June 7th, 2000 1:11:38 PM
The mage whispers "I'd suggest we move quickly. I doubt they will be expecting such a quick response from the village.".
Milo Wednesday June 7th, 2000 1:42:37 PM
Moving quickly up to K'nara, Milo whispers to his friend, "Be wary, I suspect a trap. Like leaving a trail of honey for the ants to follow, we could walk right into an ambush." That spoken, the halfling drops back, to continue to shadow the group invisibly, looking for possible surprises.
Dakar the Painmonger Wednesday June 7th, 2000 1:47:56 PM
Dakar huffs for a moment, and then begins sprinting down the trail of bloody grass, following the warm stream, while beginning to sing a song of battle
Shadrach Wednesday June 7th, 2000 2:38:46 PM
Shad snickered as the dwarf ran off, then ran after him. He was a little slower, taking care of his torch, but didn't fall behind. "Dakar! What if they're still miles from here?"
Olana Wednesday June 7th, 2000 5:39:39 PM
Olana frowns as the blood trail is spotted. Seeing Calistan's reaction, she steps up along side and whispers firmly. "I understand your sorrow, but now is not the time to mourn. Keep your wits about you - they could be on us at any moment." With a reassuring pat on the shoulder she tries to to keep Dakar in view, glancing back in case K'Nara has any instructions.

at the sight of the trail, Darkar and Shadrach go rushing down the trail, while everyone else stands around, examining the trail of blood. after running for about 70 feet, Darkar and Shadrach hear the twine of bowstrings, then howling and barking. they can sense the moton of many, many arrows, just before they strike home.
This Might Hurt A Bit(DM Sam) d6=1 d20=13 d20=7 d20=6 d20=19 d20=2 d20=17 d20=11 Thursday June 8th, 2000 1:13:53 AM
Darkar is pelted with arrow, but only one manages to penitrates his armor, causing minimal damage(1pt)
This Might Hurt A Bit(DM Sam) d20=19 d6=4 d6=5 d6=4 d20=5 d20=7 Thursday June 8th, 2000 1:19:15 AM
Shadrach isnt so lucky, as three arrows get by his defence, impaling him for 13 pts of damage. then 4 tall, hyenna-like creatures come charging out of the woods, two of them attacking Shadrach, and two of them attacking Darkar.
This Might Hurt A Bit(DM Sam) d20=19 d20=7 2d4(4+3)=7 Thursday June 8th, 2000 1:24:44 AM
the two on Shadrach swing wildly, but one of the ones attacking Darkar chops at him with his axe, hacking at him for 7pts of damage. Olana is the first to hear the clash of weapons, but she realizes that she wont be able to get there to help her friends right away(these are large creatures, so use that damage for your weapons).
K'nara Thursday June 8th, 2000 1:24:45 AM
The human bladesinger marched up to the temporary roadblock on the trail made by the pausing Callistan and Olana as she comforted the other elf. K'nara's eyebrows furrowed as her quick hazel glance encompassed the immediate area. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Why are you standing around? And where's Dakar and--" At that point the sounds of battle reached everyone's ears, causing the seasoned veteran to immediately draw her sword. "--Shad? SHAD???" K'nara ran towards the fracas, dropping her torch onto the trail and yelling the word to activate her flaming sword. "LUCIA!!!!"
Ingrge Thursday June 8th, 2000 8:41:44 AM
Having been up front Ingrge, while not running forward like Shad and Dakar, had kept moving a silently as possible as he hears the combat, he curses to himself and steps even a bit further off the path to try and flank what is going on.
Olana Thursday June 8th, 2000 1:02:23 PM
With an uncharacteristic curse, Olana moves fast to the left and a little ways off the path toward the noise, nocking an arrow as she does. As soon as she see's a target - she will stop and fire.
Milo Thursday June 8th, 2000 1:14:25 PM
Seeing his friends dash down the trail towards the sound of battle, Milo realizes that his premonition was correct. Shaking his head, the halfling charges into the underbrush, moving invisibly around the combat, looking for an opportunity to catch one of their attackers unawares.
Figment Thursday June 8th, 2000 5:01:55 PM
The mage trails the others a bit trying to get a good look at what is going on. He gets into position near one side of the trail to where he can see the fight - but he is still in darkness. He prepares to cast. (OOC:I'm assuming since Olana can't get there to help this round I can't cast).
Dakar the Painmonger d20=11 2d8(8+6)+6=20 Thursday June 8th, 2000 6:43:53 PM
Dakar roars in rage and swings his axe up, cursing something in dwarvish as he does so. The sharp blade bites deep into the creature's hide (Hit ac 4, 20 points of damage) and the dwarf gnashes his teeth while launching into song, his deep baritone voice chanting, "Kyr shah Domi, brak, brak, kyr shah brag." (Translation: Blood for domi, crush, crush, blood for war.)
Shadrach d20+3=8 Friday June 9th, 2000 1:56:13 AM
The priest had time to think *Well, that was stupid* before the arrows hit, piercing his chain mail. He dropped the torch onto the blood soaked ground, and swung his trident at one of his attackers, who jumped aside easily. (AC7) Slowly, he tried to back up against a tree, yelling back to the others, "GNOLLS! Archers in the trees!"
Flueterflam(DM Sam) Friday June 9th, 2000 11:09:19 AM
moving along with the others, Flue stays just behind K'nara, his eyes looking all around for signs of another ambush

Callistan, after a moment of hesitation, follows along, drawing out a dagger. K'nara, Ingrge, Olana, Figment, Callistan and Flueterflam run towards the sounds of battle, getting there just in time to see Darkar cut one of the gnolls in half, though there are still three of them visible. Shadrach yells out the waring about archers just as a volley of arrows goes flying into the arriving heros. four arrows fly at K'nara, one of them sinking into her armor for 2pts of damage.
Is There More?(DM Sam) d20=13 d6=6 d20=12 d20=15 d20=18 d20=3 d6=4 Friday June 9th, 2000 11:37:04 AM
another 4 go flying at Olana, one sticking her for 6 pts of damage. Figment also gets shot at, getting hit once for 4 pts of damage
Is There More?(DM Sam) d20=17 d20=12 d20=4 d20=12 d20=19 d6=6 Friday June 9th, 2000 11:43:36 AM
Callistan is also hit by an arrow, suffering 4 pts of damage, as is Flueterflam, taking 6 pts of damage. meanwhile, Milo, sneaking around, sees 2 of the gnoll archers, seperated by about 15 feet.
Is There More?(DM Sam) d20=5 d20=6 d20=13 d20=4 d20=15 d20=10 d6=3 Friday June 9th, 2000 11:58:53 AM
back up front, the gnoll on Darkar, enraged that his brother was carved up by the enraged dwarf, hacks away at him, but his swing goes wide. the other two gnolls, thinking that they have Shadrach where they want them, press their attack, but Shad manages to parry both their attacks. then everyone notices some more movement in the darkness. a moment later, 6 elves move out of the darkness. its not noticable at first, but as they come closer, each one has a horrible wound in their chest, as if their heart has been pulled out. two of them shambles over to Darkar and stiffly swing their swords, one striking home for 3 pts of damage, while another one moves over to Shadrach and attacks, but misses(Darkar and Shadrach make perceptions checks at -2). the other 3 move towards the group of heros, ready to pounce
Ingrge Friday June 9th, 2000 11:58:54 AM
still invisible Ingrge tries to locate a small group or pair of opponents and will use his staff and saying "shadeinhue" casts colorspray on them. Ingrge will put away his staff and then wade into battle, sword in hand.
Dakar the Painmonger d20=9 d20=12 d20=1 2d8(8+2)+6=16 2d8(6+2)+6=14 Friday June 9th, 2000 12:13:39 PM
Dakar swings his axe in two broad stroaks (AC 6, AC 3), at each of the gnollish attackers in front of him, (16 damage AC6, 14 damage AC 3). Glacing about for a moment at the gnolls who just closed in he notices something is a,miss (per check of 1). However, what it is cannot be more important than the battle ahead of him, and he chants louder, plunging into the second verse, and using it as a chant to pace the rain of blows he lands on his opponents. "Tuh lach, en schneidor Domi, Orgh lach, en schneidor Domi." (translated: I fight for love of Domi, we fight for love of Domi.)
Milo d100=85 d100=55 d20+4=22 d8+1=9 d20+2=21 d8+1=5 Friday June 9th, 2000 1:14:41 PM
Sneaking up behind the first gnoll archer(OOC: used a hero point for second Move Silently Roll) Milo backstabs the brute with his enchanted short sword, biting deep into the creature's flesh (27 hps). Whipping the sword out of the gnoll's back, it moves with mystic speed to strike again (5 hps).
Olana 2d20(13+10)+4=27 2d6(2+6)+1=9 Friday June 9th, 2000 3:01:56 PM
Olana fires two arrows in quick succession on what looks like a zombie elf heading toward Shad (9 dam if hit) then ducks into the trees for cover - ready to take aim again.
Shadrach d20-2=6 d20+3=13 3d4(1+3+1)+4=9 Friday June 9th, 2000 9:47:37 PM
In the guttering light of the fallen torch, Shad saw the horrific wound in the elf's chest (made Per check). He narrowed his eyes, holding off the two gnolls with his trident. "Lady, be kind this day. YAA!" He caught one of the gnolls with the tines, ripping into it's gut(AC2,D9).
K'nara d20+4=13 2d4(4+1)+6=11 Saturday June 10th, 2000 7:42:10 AM
The female fighter charged forward to help the bonze and the dwarven cleric of Domi, heedless of the pricking of the one arrow that found its mark upon her, but her way was barred by an elf. She hesitated for a moment, but then saw the lifelessness about the elf, and snarled at the evil wrought upon the poor once-living person. "KiiiiiiYAHHHHHHH!" K'nara yelled, forgetting her bladesong training and just hacking down upon the undead elf with her flaming bastard sword (hits AC3 for 11hp damage) in her nearly-mindless fury at finding a former ally in such an unnatural state.
Is There More?(DM Sam) d20=9 d100=61 d20=20 d20=20 d20=12 d20=5 d20=18 Monday June 12th, 2000 8:56:31 PM
Shad and Darkar notice that right before the elves joined the attack, they saw a figure point at them before he dissapeared back into the darkness. Ingrge casts his spell, but knowing that it wont effect the zombies and that if he casts it at the gnolls he can see, he will catch his friends in the effect too, he casts it blindly into the forest, hoping to catch some of the bowmen(made perception check for Ingrge), but he isnt sure if he hit anyone or not. up front, Darkar's swing leaves a deep gash in the gnolls side, but the creature snarles the pain away and attacks back, catching Darkar in the head with an incrediable blow(i rolled 2 20s!) for 16pts of damage. the two zombies also take swings at the reeling Darkar.
Is There More?(DM Sam) d8=2 d20=11 d20=12 d20=5 d20=6 d20=3 d20=15 d20=18 Monday June 12th, 2000 9:05:46 PM
one of the zombies hits the wounded dwarf for 2 more pts of damage. Shad's attack at the gnoll enrages him and his companion, and they strike back, but once again Shad manages to get out of the way of their blow, and he also manages to avoid the sword of the zombie elf, whom has 2 arrows sticking out of courtisy of Olana's bow. the zombie that K'nara nearly gutted lashes out at her, but misses. another of the moving zombies attacks K'nara too, but the human bladesinger parries its blow. the last zombie moves past them and attacks Ingrge, striking him for 1 pt of damage.
Is There More?(DM Sam) d20=12 d20=7 d20=16 d20=7 d20=9 d20=5 d20=13 d20=18 Monday June 12th, 2000 9:12:44 PM
Milo's surprise attack kill's the gnoll outright, and he howl's in pain, falling to the ground. his companion turns, sees Milo and fires his bow at him, but both his shots miss him. dropping his bow and drawing his sword, he rushes at Milo. Olana takes cover just in time as six arrows come racing at her.
Is There More?(DM Sam) d6=3 d6=6 d20=20 d20=11 d20=3 d20=17 d20=5 Monday June 12th, 2000 9:15:38 PM
two of the arrows hits Olana, causing 9 pts of damage. Olana also sees one of the bowmen, off to the right of her. Figment, Callistan, and Flueterflam also get shot at.
Is There More?(DM Sam) d20=6 d20=18 d6=6 d20=7 d6=1 Monday June 12th, 2000 9:17:17 PM
each one of them gets hit once, Figment taking 6 pts of damage, Callistan taking 6, and Flueterflam taking 1 pt of damage
Milo Monday June 12th, 2000 9:17:18 PM
Alarmed at the ferocity of the gnoll's attack, Milo activates his ring, becoming invisible, and then dashes sideways, perpendicular to the gnoll's charge, hoping that the creature will lose him in the dark, and swing at the air where he used to be.
Callistan(DM Sam) 3d4(3+1+1)+3=8 Monday June 12th, 2000 9:21:05 PM
shaken by the sight of the zombies, but knowing he has to help, Callistan casts a spell and 3 bolts come flying out of his hands, striking the zombie thats attacking Ingrge for 8 pts of damage
Dakar the Painmonger d20=10 2d8(3+4)+6=13 Monday June 12th, 2000 10:15:59 PM
Bellowing in anger and breaking the chant for a moment Dakar counters the Gnoll's strike with a powerful hit of his own (AC 5, 13 damage), hoping to give the creatuire its deathblow. The dwarf snarls and shrugs off the blood trickling out from below his helmet and crusting his grey bear with redness. He ignores the blood he coughs up and stares at the zombies, preparing himself for the last rites of Domi, but knowing he shall not go gentle into the dark night.
Figment Tuesday June 13th, 2000 1:39:54 PM
The mage wheels around to where most of the arrows are coming from and casts his web spell into the trees trying to entrap the oppressors on that side in it's sticky goo.
Figment Tuesday June 13th, 2000 1:40:27 PM
[OOC: Sorry guys, I was out of town and missed a round]
Olana 2d20(10+10)+2=22 d6+1=7 d6+1=7 Tuesday June 13th, 2000 1:40:28 PM
The pain from the arrows makes her blink momentarily - but also gives away the position of an archer. Purely on reflex, she takes aim and fires at what she can see, sending two arrows (oops need another +2 for the magic bow - if they hit - 7 damage each) toward the archer, before diving into cover once more. "Ouch," she winces, reloading.
Flueterflam d20=5 d20=10 Tuesday June 13th, 2000 2:20:23 PM
"YEOUCH!" the bard yells involuntarily as he dives for cover (though a little late, as he gets hit anyway.) "This little fracas better not get US killed...or I'll never hear the end of Shadrach's moaning..." Fluet gets out his bow and tries to fire off two arrows, but can't see if they hit or not.
K'nara d20+4=8 d20+4=16 2d4(4+2)+4=10 Tuesday June 13th, 2000 2:33:15 PM
K'nara shook her filleted head, grimacing and regaining her concentration so that--instead of simply hacking away at the zombie elves, she used her Bladesong technique to attack them. "Watch out--undead elves..!" the woman warrior shouted as her expertise allowed her to attack each of the two elves attacking her.
Shadrach d20+3=15 3d4(1+4+2)+4=11 Tuesday June 13th, 2000 9:28:49 PM
This had all the earmarks of a disaster. The Bonze laughed in the gnoll's face. "She doesn't like to be ignored," he told them. He braced the trident and caught the wounded gnoll fully, as it almost ran up the tines.(AC0,D11) "As you can see." He planted his boot on it's chest and pushed it toward it's partner, trying to use it to deflect another strike. "Spellcaster, behind the zombies!"
Ingrge d20=5 d20=11 Wednesday June 14th, 2000 7:46:50 AM
having drawn his sword, Ingrge lashes out at the Elfbie before him and somehow manages only to catch a few strands of nothing as his thrust goes wide.
Callistan(DM Sam) d20=12 d4+2=3 Wednesday June 14th, 2000 11:10:17 AM
seeing Ingrge in trouble, Callistan runs up to help him, lashing out with his dagger, slashing at him for 3 pts of damage.
Who's That?(DM Sam) d20=3 d20=10 d20=14 d20=12 d20=11 d6=1 d20=5 d20=10 Wednesday June 14th, 2000 11:24:15 AM
Figment's web goes off, and he hears cursing in the distance, but hes not sure how many he has ensnared. Darkar's desperate blow finishes off the gnoll hes fighting, but the zombies strike back, but they are unable to land any blows on the stubborn dwarf. at Darkar's side, the gnoll that Shadrach speared falls to his knees and doesnt move. the other gnoll looks behind him momentarly, but then turns back around, his swing just missing the Bonze. the zombie also attacks, but once again Shad is able to move out of harms way. K'nara manages to cut down one of the zombies, then parries the the blow of the other zombie, her skill with her sword evident. the zombie thats attacking Ingrge turns his attention to Callistan, though its blow is easily dodged by the nimble elf. the gnoll that Olana shot grimaces in pain, then drops his bow and charges the elf.
Who's That?(DM Sam) d20=2 d4=4 d20=1 d20=17 d20=7 Wednesday June 14th, 2000 11:36:55 AM
the charging gnoll reaches Olana, but his strike flies wide. the gnoll that attacked Milo strikes again, but once again his blow misses. suddenly, there is a ghastly howl, and out of the shadows steps 4 gnolls. three of them look just like the gnolls you have been fighting, but the fourth one is a sight to behold. unlike the others, hes wearing leather armor studded with iron spikes. all over his armor, hands, arms, and face is blood, fresh blood. he motions the other gnolls to attack, while he chants a spell and points at Ingrge and Callistan(save vs spell or held for 12 rds). 2 of the gnolls run up and attack Figment, but one trips over his feet trying to get there(will miss next attack) while the other one just misses the mage. the remaining gnoll pounces on Flueterflam, but the bard is able to dodge the attack
Dakar the Painmonger d20=12 d20=14 d10+6=16 d10+6=11 Wednesday June 14th, 2000 11:36:56 AM
"FOR DOMI!" Dakar swings his axe in two wide blows, one to each of the zombies on either side. His intent is focused, and he glares at the Gnollish priest, fully ready to fight with all his strength against this abominable shaman. (Hits AC 3, AC 1, 16 and 11 damage to each zombie, respectively.) He begins a chant that is low and rumbling, one that crescendos as he brings his axe down again and again. "Tor tnok, Tor tnok, Tor tnok, Domi gahrt."
Figment Wednesday June 14th, 2000 2:21:13 PM
Wanting to reduce the number of attackers as fast as possible, the mage fires his wand of webbing at the casting gnoll and tries to catch as many elven zombies as he can without endangering the party. He tries to place the big gnoll in the center so he has a long way to go to get out any way he tries.
Ingrge d20=14 d20=7 d20=13 d3=3 d3=3 Wednesday June 14th, 2000 2:21:14 PM
Seeing the armored gnoll appear and start casting a spell, Ingrge momentarily freezes in place as he feels a wave of magic wash over him and then pass on by (saved vs spell 14). As he feels the control of his muscles return he throws two of the daggers from the Bandolier at the new assailant (the first dagger hitting AC 7 for 5 ponits and the scond dagger hitting AC 1 for another 5 points).
Flueterflam d20=4 Wednesday June 14th, 2000 2:57:35 PM
Dodging the gnoll that now attacks him causes Fluet to drop his bow on the ground, so he immediately snatches his dagger out and swipes at the big hairy beastie, missing by a mile. "Not the face--not the FACE..!" the bard urges as the attacker responds to Fluet's failed maneuver.
K'nara d20+4=17 2d4(4+1)+4=9 Wednesday June 14th, 2000 3:09:53 PM
The human bladesinger continued her lethal contradanse with her graceless undead partner, her fiery sword slashing in a beautiful yet very damaging pattern upon the automaton that had once been an elf. (Hits AC1 for 9hp damage.) "Pray that someone else gets hold of you, necromancer..!" she growled aloud, having no love for the stench of such foul magicks.
Olana d20=15 d6+2=5 Wednesday June 14th, 2000 3:32:24 PM
Unable to get at her longsword with her bow still in her hand, Olana - ducking and diving out of reach, flips out her shortsword so she can fend off the snarling gnoll. "Can't you see I'm busy," she says rather irritably, prodding at it (hits AC3 for 5). She prayed that this altercation wouldn't mean that she lost sight of those archers.
Shadrach d20+3=17 3d4(2+2+3)+4=11 Wednesday June 14th, 2000 7:19:33 PM
Shad dodged and sidestepped, whirling around with the long trident to puncture the gnoll's hide and pull it out, the barbs doing more damage on the way out (AC-2,D11).
Milo d20+4=5 d20+4=8 Wednesday June 14th, 2000 8:41:46 PM
Whirling around on the gnoll, Milo charges in, swinging wildly with his enchanted blade, becoming visible. Staring up at the creature in dismay, Milo clenches his teeth, growling as he digs in for combat.
Callistan(DM Sam) d20=12 d20=17 d4+2=5 Thursday June 15th, 2000 3:52:09 PM
resisting the magic of the bloody gnoll, Callistan once again slashes at the zombie, stabbing it once again for 5 pts of damage

Figment, seeing that the only enemy not engaged is the bloody gnoll, cast his spell at him. the gnoll dissapears from sight as the webs engulf him, but not before Ingrge's dagger slashes him on the arm. Darkar's strikes cuts one of the zombies down, but the other one attacks back, but misses. Shad's trident strikes deep, but its not enough to deter the gnoll, who strikes back, along with the zombie, but both of their attacks miss. K'nara's sword catches one of the zombies on fire, and it falls to the ground, smoldering while the other zombie attacks back, just barely missing the dancing woman. Callistan's attack finishes off the zombie fighting him and Ingrge, freeing up both. Figment, once again, is attack by 2 of the walking dead, but both miss again.

the gnoll on Flue, ignoring the bard's pleas, sticks the paniking bard for 5 pts of damage. Olana cant see any more of the archers(make a perception check), and while her blow hits, the enraged gnoll attacks back, smashing his axe into the elf for 6 pts of damage. and the one on Milo, after dodging the little guy's blows, strikes back.
Are Things Looking Up?(DM Sam) 2d4(2+1)=3 Thursday June 15th, 2000 4:22:39 PM
his blow hits Milo, and the halfling suffers 3 pts of damage
Ingrge d20=19 d20=3 d4=1 d20=9 d4=4 Thursday June 15th, 2000 4:22:40 PM
Seeing Figment belabored by two foes Ingrge lets fly with the returned daggers, watching as the first flies true to its target (19+5=24 hits ac -10 for 3points)and using a hero point watches his second dagger bounce off a tree limb and fly at the zombie (9+5=14 hits AC4 for 6 points) As he lets fly with the daggers, Ingrge moves to engage the same Zombie.
Dakar the Painmonger d20=20 d6=3 d4=1 Thursday June 15th, 2000 4:22:41 PM
Dakar shrugs off further attacks from the wounded zombie, satisfied that someone else can finish it off and instead bears down, grunts, and charges directly for the gnoll's leader, his head spike ready to impale the great hyena headed creature. All the rage and anger built up in the dwarf's powerful form is released as he slams into the Gnoll Shaman (15 or 11... couldn't remember if it was 1d6 or 1d4+1 vs large.) piercing the caster's chest with his foot and a half head spike. As the blood flows over his helmet he rips the spike upwards while screaming "DOMI!" and readying himself for a round of hand to hand.
Figment 2d4(1+3)+2=6 Thursday June 15th, 2000 6:16:44 PM
Seeing his successful incapacitation of the evil leader - and Darkar's headlong run straight toward his huge mass of web, the mage casts yet again. As he reaches back as if pitching a ball, he throws 2 firey missles at the zombie Ingrge hit with his daggars - if he still stands. If not the attack hits the other one with perfect accuracy (6 dmg).
Shadrach d20+3=12 3d4(1+2+1)+4=8 Thursday June 15th, 2000 9:13:15 PM
Shad grunted with effort as the gnoll brought it's weapon down on him, but the light metal of the sahuagin weapon blocked it. Taking a step back, trying to keep the gnoll between him and the zombie, he whirled the trident overhead like a flail, lashing it across it's stomach (AC3,D8).
Olana d20=8 d20=4 Friday June 16th, 2000 1:05:10 AM
As the axe bites into her, Olana yelps (made perception), wheeling around to concentrate on the gnoll-nasty intent on ending her existant. It's blow caught her sword arm, however - and she hits wide.
Milo d20=8 d20=2 Friday June 16th, 2000 3:53:56 AM
Grunting at the pain of the blow, Milo again swings wildly. Gritting his teeth with frustration, the halfling screams his battle cry, "AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!"
Flueterflam d20=2 Friday June 16th, 2000 6:22:13 AM
The bard grimaced in pain, swiping rather weakly at the gnoll who was attacking him...but managing to lose his grip on his dagger so that it dropped into his own shirt. Frantically the young man begins patting himself in an effort to re-arm before the gnoll can stab at him again...
K'nara d20+1=15 d20+1=12 d12+4=8 d12+4=7 Friday June 16th, 2000 6:34:35 AM
The female fighter blinked confused hazel eyes at the brief optical illusion that confounded her momentarily, but saw with satisfaction that both zombies were, indeed, lying in a lifeless, smoldering heap. Freed of direct opponents, K'nara danced over to Flueterflam's side and engaged the vicious gnoll that was attacking the hapless bard. (OOC: first roll hits AC-1 for 8hp damage; second attack hits AC2 for 7hp damage.) "Dance with ME, furball!" she snarled, taunting the large creature as she struck.
A Couple More Fall Down(DM Sam) d6=1 d20=1 d20=19 d20=7 d8=1 d20=8 d20=1 Friday June 16th, 2000 8:11:44 PM
as Darkar rushes off from the zombie,it strikes out at him as he leaves, but misses. thinking before he acts, Darkar rushes headlong into the web, getting stuck 5ft into it and not coming close to his target(save vs spell; if u save, you can work your way out of the web in 2 rds, if u fail, u are stuck for the duration of the spell, and make a perception check). Shadrach finishes off the gnoll, its body joining its companion at Shad's feet. the zombie that was fighting Darkar shambles over to Shadrach to join its fellow dead elf to attack him, one of them hitting him for 1 pt of damage. seeing that alot of their fellows have been killed, and that they are now outnumbered, the 2 gnolls on figment and the one on Flueterflam break from combat and flee into the woods(Flue, Figment, and K'nara, roll even-odd for a free attack). meanwhile, not seeing whats going on in the center, the gnoll on Olana slashes at her, but misses, while the gnoll on Milo, starting to get confident, drops his weapon, his confidence clearing effecting his attacking abilities
Milo d20=13 d20=3 d8+1=7 Friday June 16th, 2000 8:52:33 PM
Seeing the gnoll drop its weapon, Milo lunges forward with his short sword(AC5 D7) and then swings wide yet again on his return swing.
Fluet d2=2 Sunday June 18th, 2000 6:37:56 AM
Fluet flounders through his shirt in a vain effort to produce the misplaced dagger therein before the gnoll who attacked him was out of reach, but--alas!--the blade snags itself on a seam and the bard has to spend the time *carefully* removing it from inside his shirt.
K'nara d2=2 Sunday June 18th, 2000 6:42:58 AM
K'nara stared at Flueterflam, flabbergasted at the strange gyrations he was indulging in, and completely missed her chance to attack her fleeing opponent one more time. "What in the WOLD are you DOING, Fluet..?" she demanded, amazed.
Ingrge 2d4(4+2)+2=8 Sunday June 18th, 2000 12:11:40 PM
His daggers returning to him, Ingrge watches as the two gnolls on Figment escape. Still hearing the sounds of combat Ingrge whirls and fires off a magic missile spell at Olanna's opponent for eight points of damage.
Figment d6=5 d20=16 d3=1 Sunday June 18th, 2000 12:11:41 PM
With the realization that the gnolls are breaking - and that he only has time for one action - the wiley mage lets them break. As they get away from the perimeter of the party and into the first trees, he fires his wand of webbing once again and entraps the creatures in another huge mass of web - and any archers left on that side. [OOC: I'm assuming they are breaking to the opposite side than where Figment cast his first web spell - lest the gnoll find their escape route closed off. Also, there is now little room for any creature to witdraw without being caught in webs to the front or either side.]. He says to the rest of the party "We have archers caught on the left, the gnolls on the right, the shaman in the front - and Darkar... We'd better dispatch them quickly or they may free themselves in a few minutes. They may also be of use in questioning."
Figment Sunday June 18th, 2000 12:11:42 PM
[OOC: Figment got even odd. I decided to use the wand instead of a daggar]
Olana d20=11 d20=11 Monday June 19th, 2000 12:42:45 PM
Seeing Ingrge gesticulating in her direction, she completes her dodge away from the gnolls axe, by diving behind a tree to avoid whatever fry-up the gnoll was going to get. If the little rascal still stands, she will round on him once more with her shortsword.(Made dex reaction,didn't make attack roll).
Shadrach d20+3=6 Monday June 19th, 2000 12:43:27 PM
"I'm starting to feel like I'm chopping wood here!" In contradiction to his words, the Bonze lunged and raked the air, missing his two zombie opponents completely.
A Couple More Fall Down(DM Sam) d20=17 d20=1 d20=14 d20=10 d20=15 d8=4 Monday June 19th, 2000 7:30:13 PM
one of the gnolls manages to dodge the web and dissapears into the woods, but the other two are caught fast. after being blasted by Ingrge's magical bolts, the gnoll fighting Olana falls down, its chest smoking. the two zombies continue to hack away at Shad, one hitting for 4 pts of damage. and the last gnoll, after dropping his weapon and seeing Milo is ready to strike, turns tail and flees into the woods.
Callistan(DM Sam) d20=17 d4+2=4 Monday June 19th, 2000 7:32:59 PM
runs up to one of the zombies attacking Shadrach, and after whispering, "Forgive me, by brothers." he slashes at one with his dagger, hitting for 4 pts of damage.
Darkar(DM Sam) d20=7 d20=16 Monday June 19th, 2000 7:36:34 PM
hoping that the spike on his head would somehow slash through the webs, Darkar finds himself hopelessly stuck in the web. "DARN IT!!!!" he yells out. his anger consumes him, and all he can think about is setting himself free(failed perception)
Milo Monday June 19th, 2000 8:13:09 PM
Milo manages to hold his bluster until the gnoll disappears into the shrubbery, he then turns, and quickly makes his way back to the group through the brush. Running back up the path from behind his friends, the halfling has a death grip on his shortsword which is now covered from tip to hilt in gnoll blood.
Flueterflam d20=15 d4=4 Tuesday June 20th, 2000 6:22:25 AM
"I...uh...I...uh...I...uhhhhhHA!" the bard grappled with his weapon, finally freeing the small blade from inside his shirt, then leaping to the defense of his erstwhile colleague Shadrach, throwing his dagger at the zombie that had escaped Calistan's attention. (Hits AC4 for 4hp damage.) "I was...merely trying to induce a false sense of security in my opponent--yeah...THAT'S the ticket..!"
K'nara d20+4=17 d20+4=17 d8+8=11 d8+8=9 Tuesday June 20th, 2000 6:30:37 AM
The human bladesinger's mouth quirks for a moment, but then her own attention is captured by the undead elves still attacking Shadrach, and she leaps gracefully into the fray, the flaming blade in her hand slicing at Callistan's target (hits AC-3 for 11hp.) K'nara pirohuetted and skewered the other zombie with her fluid follow-through (hit AC-3 for 9hp damage.) "Somebody pull Dakar outta that web!!!" she yelled as she focused on the undead in front of her.
Ingrge Tuesday June 20th, 2000 9:18:42 AM
Hearing K'narra and then seeing Dakar's plight, Ingrge grabs his rop off his pack and tosses an end into Dakar and then proceeds on pulling, and hacking when necessary, in order to get him loose.
Figment Tuesday June 20th, 2000 12:28:36 PM
Seeing the battle well in hand the mage holds his attacks, helps Ingrge pull out Darkar, and prepares a strategy to dispatch the bowmen, swordsmen, and the shaman who are still alive in the webs. "When we are ready I would suggest that we direct our attention to the shaman first. K'Nara, your flaming sword will do well against the webs. I would suggest we cut through the web until we get to him with Darkar right behind you, followed by maybe Ingrge or others. Several of us can then all get to him at once and perhaps take him out before he has a chance to do anything. We can then focus on the others."
Shadrach d20+3=13 4d4(1+1+3+1)+4=10 Tuesday June 20th, 2000 12:28:37 PM
Shad punches his trident through the final zombie (AC2,D10). Pulling it free, he remarked, "Why don't we regroup and apply first aid before we fire the web and release new foes? Calistan, would you like to question them?"
Olana d20=17 Tuesday June 20th, 2000 12:28:38 PM
As the others finish off the remnants, and free Dakar - Olana has a quick scout around (failed tracking)to try and establish the direction the enemy had come from, but it was difficult to tell after the melee. Returning to the others, she offers a silent prayer to the undead of her kind. "Will these poor souls have to burn?" she asks, wincing at the damage on her arm from the enemy arrows.
Darkar(DM Sam) d20=6 Tuesday June 20th, 2000 4:12:59 PM
Darkar continues to struggle in the webs. seeing the rope tossed in, he just misses it(had to make dex check at -4 because he cant move, and failed) "Let me out of here" he yells out
Darkar(DM Sam) Tuesday June 20th, 2000 4:21:11 PM
the combine efforts of Flueterflam, K'nara, Shadrach, and Callistan finish off the remaining zombies. Ingrge's rope falls just out of range of Darkar's grasping hand(you can try to pull it out, but its going to take a combine strength check from people pulling on it). from the forest there is nothing but silence, except from the yelling of Darkar, and the howls of the 2 trapped gnolls encased in the other web. at this moment, Milo returns from the forest, rejoining his companions
Figment Tuesday June 20th, 2000 4:58:30 PM
As the adrenaline subsides a bit, the mage once again remembers physical pain. "Speaking of healing, I could really use some - but I can wait if there are some who need it more. The mage has clearly been injured pretty severely - but he looks like he could take a 'little' more (but not much). He looks around and takes inventory of the remaining foes in his 3 webs: Presumably there are archers in the trees to the left of the path, 2 gnolls in the trees to the right of the path who are yelling, and the shaman in the web at the front - who is being too quiet for comfort...
Milo Tuesday June 20th, 2000 5:26:01 PM
Except for one small wound, Milo appears none the worse for wear. Walking up to Figment, he looks up at the wizard grimly, speaking so any can hear, "I took care of the archers to the left." His smile is grim as he calmly wipes the blood from his shortsword and then resheaths it.
Shadrach d8=3 Wednesday June 21st, 2000 12:09:24 AM
A little beat himself, Shad left the pulling to others, and went over to the wizard to get started. "Hold still, Figment." Shad prayed to the goddess and the wizard felt a very faint bit better(CLW3).
Ingrge Wednesday June 21st, 2000 10:04:44 AM
Umm guys, set up a three man watch and then the rest of us need to get dakar out of this web. He does not look at all well.
Figment Wednesday June 21st, 2000 12:45:15 PM
The mage smiles at Milo as his wounds quit oozing and begin to close a bit. "Thanks for the help. That will be plenty for me right now. Are there any archers on the right?". He moves to the web where Darkar is caught. "I think the best way to do this is apply a flame to the web - sparingly. That way the shaman will still be entrapped. I'd say we'd better hurry. There may be others ready to get him out on the other side. Also, be ready in case the entire web burns because it will free the shaman too. Darkar, what do you think? You may get a bit singed if we use flames to get you out. Will you accept that or would you prefer we found a less painful way? But remember, time is not on our side here." He looks to K'Nara to take care of the flame if Darkar accepts.
Olana Wednesday June 21st, 2000 12:45:16 PM
Seeing the dwarf still struggling in the web, Olana goes to help pull him out.
Shadrach d8=3 Wednesday June 21st, 2000 12:55:45 PM
Shad decided to pray for healing for himself.(CLW3)
Darkar(DM Sam) Wednesday June 21st, 2000 6:51:26 PM
stops struggling for a bit. "If ya burn it, I doubt ill survive. Im not feeling really well." he says
Callistan(DM Sam) Wednesday June 21st, 2000 6:54:14 PM
seeing there are no immediate threats, Callistan starts to drag all of the elven bodies next to each other, then kneels down beside them and quietly begins to pray, an occasional tear rolling down his cheeck
K'nara Thursday June 22nd, 2000 2:06:36 AM
Glancing around at the cleared field of impromptu battle, K'nara frowned at Callistan's grief, then went over to the web that held the bleeding cleric of Domi and the silent gnoll spellcaster. "I will use my sword, yes--but withOUT the flame...LUCIA!" the female fighter uttered, extinguishing the magic fire that engulfed her weapon. "Help me free Dakar, here," she said to Ingrge, "I have a potion that should help heal him up--I have reason to believe it should be VERY effective..." With this, K'nara began to carefully slice at the sticky strands that imprisoned Dakar.
Callistan(DM Sam) d20=16 Thursday June 22nd, 2000 11:11:18 AM
as soon as her sword touched the web, K'nara's sword becomes stuck(save vs spell or the sword is hopelessly stuck in the web). seein this happen, Olana decides that it would be wiser not to venture into the web and try to pull Darkar out. everyone else, while they are staning around, trying to figure out how to get Darkar out, hears something whispeing in the wind(everyone except K'nara, Olana, and Darkar make a perception check at a -2 penalty)
Milo d20=14 Thursday June 22nd, 2000 11:11:19 AM
Oblivious to any sound the wind is making, Milo walks to where K'nara is standing, pulls his short bow free from his quiver, strings it, and nocks an arrow. "K'nara perhaps we should just question the gnoll shaman from here... while we wait for the web to go away by itself." The halfing pulls the arrow semi-taught, with the bow still lowered. "I wouldn't mind playing pin the tail on the doggie."
Olana Thursday June 22nd, 2000 11:11:20 AM
Olana frowns in consternation at Dakar's predicament while downing her weapons for a moment so she can bind her wound. "Is there a spell that will undo this web, maybe? We're all going to get rather stuck otherwise aren't we." And then - "Dakar - if you're getting weaker, say so - we can always pass a potion to you on a stick or something."
Figment d20=8 Thursday June 22nd, 2000 11:11:21 AM
The mage starts as K'Nara attempts to hack at the web - but too late. "Wait... Nobody else stick anything in there. It will be completely stuck until the spell runs out - which will take a good long time. I created this web with an item - not a spell I memorized so I cannot release it. We'll be here the better part of an hour if we wait for it to go by itself. If somebody can cast a healing spell on the Darkar without touching him is the only way we can expidite this. That way we can burn it and he can survive. If we do not choose to burn it then I'd suggest we take care of the other gnolls by burning the webs they are in before this web goes away. Otherwise we'll have several assailants at once again. Not good. I-". As the wind gust comes by the mage stops talking abruptly and hears the message it gives.
K'nara d20+2=20 Thursday June 22nd, 2000 12:20:20 PM
The human bladesinger swiped at the magical web, but the mystic stuff resisted her attempts to cut it open, and she had to use all her strength to wrench her sword free from the arcane strands. "YeeOUCH!" K'nara ruefully eyed her sword and then Dakar's feet, which were the only part of him not encased by the web. "Hellfire & blast it! I didn't realize that, Figment...we will have to await the spell's demise to free up Dakar, then...meanwhile, I'll take care of the other webs WITH Lucia turned on--" Even as the redheaded warrior uttered the word "Lucia", the flames surrounding the blade once more came into evidence and she stepped over to the other webs in question. "Meanwhile--Shad, if you're okay, do you think you can heal up the dwarf a little bit..? There's an awful lot of blood oozing from his section of the web and all..."
Shadrach d20-2=1 Thursday June 22nd, 2000 1:00:35 PM
"Only if he has a part close enough to the outside to touch. Otherwise, the webs will mess up my prayer. A better idea is to take an open potion of extra healing in to him. A strong person can thrash and move real slow." The big priest paused, looking around. Then he smiled. "Well..I'm pretty strong. I think I can work my way in slow. Just don't get into trouble til I get out!" Shad looked funny then, cocking his head, as someone seemed to whisper directly into his ear.
Ingrge d20=9 Thursday June 22nd, 2000 3:55:00 PM
(made perception vs wisdom by 5)watching the procedings with grim mirth, Ingrge looks to see if Dakars hands are free and measures the distance from the nearest edge of the web to him. Hey Shad .... I was going to say not to step in there. Um why not tie a healing potion to a tree branch and reach it out to Dakar so that he may take it and then continue with the plan?
What a Dilemia(DM Sam) Thursday June 22nd, 2000 7:58:41 PM
Shadrach, Figment, and Ingrge, after concentrating for a moment, reconize the sound chanting, like a spell is being cast(made another perception check to locate its origin), while everyone else tried to figure out how to get the dwarf out, who is hopelessly stuck in the web, his thrashing about getting him tangled up more and more
Figment d20=15 Thursday June 22nd, 2000 9:45:07 PM
After hearing the chant, the mage says "Watch out folks, a spell is being cast right now. I imagine it's our shaman friend. I would suggest we get to him now or he will hurt us.". The mage begins listening to confirm the origin of the sound (made perception). He watches the webs where the gnolls are trapped to see what happens to it when K'Nara touches it with her flaming blade (i.e. does it just melt away what it touches or does it go up in flames.).
Shadrach Thursday June 22nd, 2000 10:23:52 PM
He spun around, eyes searching for the chanter, holding up his trident ready to throw.
Ingrge d20=19 d20=2 Thursday June 22nd, 2000 10:55:57 PM
hearing the chanting but having no idea where it is coming from, Ingrge yells, "scatter!!" He then takes three running steps and executes a diving roll that takes him away from the web and the group and hopefully out of any area of effect. As he bounces back to his feet he starts scanning the woods for anything out of the ordinary.
Olana d20=3 Friday June 23rd, 2000 11:01:00 AM
(Made perception) "Just tell me where," whispers the elf, her bow already back in her hand and an arrow nocked, it's aim swivelling to where she thinks the chanting is coming from.
Milo d20=9 Friday June 23rd, 2000 11:22:55 AM
Stopping to listen carefully, the halfing hears the chanting(Made by -2 this time) and draws a bead on its source with his short bow, ready to fire.
Silence?(DM Sam) Monday June 26th, 2000 6:25:54 PM
everyone that made their perception check realizes that the chanting is coming from behind the web that is holding Darkar and the gnoll shamen. after a few moments, it stops, then there is nothing but silence
DarkarDM Sam) d20=10 Monday June 26th, 2000 6:28:27 PM
"I hear a spell being cast!" Darkar yells out. "Get me out of here!!!"
Callistan(DM Sam) d20=10 Monday June 26th, 2000 6:32:05 PM
hearing the spell being cast, Callistan braces himself for the effect. then, after a few moments, when nothing happens, he stands back up, looking around for any danger
Figment Monday June 26th, 2000 6:42:16 PM
"I believe they are trying to release the Shaman. I would suggest we use the flame idea and get to Darkar immediately.". [OOC: K'Nara has used her sword flame on the other web with the trapped gnolls and it has yet to be addressed. We should know by now that the flame will not set the web ablaze, but that it will merely retreat from the flame as it is applied. So we should be able to get to Darkar with no further damage to him. Please make a ruling on the flame idea so we can proceed. We should have known this 2 rounds ago thus allowing us as chance to get to the Shaman before his minions do.]
Flueterflam Monday June 26th, 2000 6:42:17 PM
The bard retrieves his dropped bow from the ground and resheathes his dagger, glancing around at his tense colleagues and then sidling closer to the ever-alert Olana, deciding that being close to the hawkeyed ranger would be best if any other attack gets launched at the group.
K'nara Monday June 26th, 2000 6:42:18 PM
The human bladesinger whirled about, both hands in a deathgrip on the pommel of her flaming blade. When nothing happened, K'nara visibly relaxed her stance, then applied the fiery sword to the web containing only the enemy that was closest to her. "Have a taste of the Abyss before you go, g-noll!" she taunted, pronouncing the name of the creature with a hard G and with the venom of someone who was deriding that species.
Milo Monday June 26th, 2000 6:42:19 PM
Milo moves around to a position where he has good line of sight with the Gnoll shaman, and then levels his bow on the creature, pulling back until the string is taught to his ear, "K'nara.... you want I should bump him off now?" The halfling shouts.
Olana Tuesday June 27th, 2000 1:07:26 AM
"Keep behind me," Olana whispers to Fluet, "but keep your eyes open." Slowly, bow still at the ready she moves quietly until the area behind the webs is in line with her bow, and will fire if she spots the spell caster.
Callistan(DM Sam) 2d4(1+1)=2 Tuesday June 27th, 2000 11:04:18 AM
(K'nara never applied her flaming sword to the web, she only commanded the sword to flame and then approached the web, she never touched it, therefore you shouldnt of had the info 2 rds ago) as everyone tenses, looking for the spell casting gnoll, K'nara hacks at the other web with her flaming sword. as soon as the flames touch the web, it ignites like a oil soaked rag. Darkar lets out a roar of pain, but thats the only sound that comes from the web, which quickly turns to smoke. once the smoke clears, Darkar is sitting on the ground, hurt but alive. there isnt any sign of the gnoll priest
Darkar(DM Sam) d8=7 Tuesday June 27th, 2000 11:06:26 AM
"Darn it, I wish you would of warned me, woman!" Darkar growls, as he cast a spell on himself(ClW)
Callistan(DM Sam) d20=1 Tuesday June 27th, 2000 11:10:25 AM
after seeing the web go up in flames and sees that the gnoll is nowhere to be seen, Callistan moves to where the webs were and begins to search the ground, he makes a very detailed check of the area, but after a few minuets he turns to K'nara, fustration clearly evident on his face "There's no trace of him anywhere! How could he dissapear like that!!"
Ingrge Tuesday June 27th, 2000 11:10:26 AM
Picking himself up off the ground and dusting off, Ingrge peers around and goes about gathering up as many of the enemies weapons as possible and then gives them a quality check and quick once over.
Figment Tuesday June 27th, 2000 1:58:23 PM
The mage turns to Callistan. "Are these poor souls the members of your lost party? If so is this all of them? K'Nara, I would suggest we kill the other gnoll warriors before we do anything else - unless we wish to follow them. Burn the webs. And Olana, your arrow would have been wasted if you fired toward the shaman. Never attack a magic web with anything other than fire - just for future referrence."
Shadrach d8=6 Tuesday June 27th, 2000 1:58:24 PM
Deciding that Dakar was in a state to take care of himself, Shad caught Olana for a moment and prayed over her.(CLW6)
K'nara Tuesday June 27th, 2000 1:58:25 PM
K'nara set fire to the other two webs, then she pulled out a bottle from her backpack and handed it to Dakar. "For your considerable wounds, priest of Domi. That was a battle well fought." (OOC: it's a potion of extra healing, Dakar...chug it well!)
Olana Wednesday June 28th, 2000 12:54:17 AM
Olana nods at Figment, putting the info away for future reference, and then stands quietly as Shad does his stuff. "Thankyou," she whispers, giving him a beaming smile. And then - "Careful everyone - that chant could have been for an invisibility spell or something couldn't it? They might still be around."
Shadrach d20=8 Wednesday June 28th, 2000 12:13:34 PM
Shad frowned at Olana's words and tried to think what prayer the shaman might have cast (Religion proficiency check, made it).
Cleaning Up(DM Sam) 2d4(4+1)=5 Wednesday June 28th, 2000 8:17:38 PM
Callistan nods at Figment. "Yes, they are the missing search party, and they are all here." then he looks back down at the bodies. "Tis a terrible way to go, being murdered then turned into a zombie." he remarks as the web that K'nara lights goes up in flames. the gnolls inside howl in agony, and when the smoke clears, one of them lays motionless, while the other one twitches on the ground, trying to get up. while all of this is going on, Ingrge gathers up all the weapons the gnolls and the zombies used. the gnolls were using rusty axes or nailed clubs, but the elves had quality longswords.
Darkar(DM Sam) Wednesday June 28th, 2000 8:20:33 PM
drinking down the offered potion, the color returs to Darkars face a bit. "That tasted good!" he says, smacking his lips
Olana d20=15 Wednesday June 28th, 2000 8:20:34 PM
Still on the alert, the elf ponders. "How did gnolls learn to do that? To those elves I mean..." Frowning, she shakes her head and mutters a prayer for the dead elves, then has a quick scout around.
Ingrge Wednesday June 28th, 2000 8:20:35 PM
Hearing Olanna's comment as he finishes gathering up the weapons, Ingrge says, "Well, my bet is that that Shaman either wasnt a Gnoll or not fully.
K'nara Thursday June 29th, 2000 7:14:06 AM
The leader of the Emerald Talons gestures to the moaning gnoll. "There's one of the furballs--if anyone can understand its language, then you can ask IT about that damned spellcaster."
Figment Thursday June 29th, 2000 1:00:35 PM
moves over toward the gnoll and stands ready to cast if it decides to flee. "I'll let one of you handle that part. This is a grim situation indeed if mere gnolls have begun to garner and control magic.". He stays on alert listening for any invisible creature. He also looks at the ground where the shaman was to see if he can detect any footprints being created.
Shadrach Thursday June 29th, 2000 3:09:31 PM
Shad shook his head. "I'm not sure but I think he used a plant spell, to make the grass hide his tracks. I don't know it myself. Don't know Gnoll either."
Olana Friday June 30th, 2000 1:47:09 PM
"Okay..." says the elf ranger with a sigh. "What do we do about the dead comrades of Callistan?"
Cleaning Up(DM Sam) Friday June 30th, 2000 7:25:29 PM
Figment stands next to the gnoll, but its obvious its not going anywhere, with burns all over its body, all its capapble of doing is lying there, whimpering. Olana scouts around a bit, but there isnt any trace of the gnoll shamen. when she comes back, Callistan says "The bodies need to be burned. They have already been cursed once, and they may be cursed again. Its the only way to free their souls."
Milo Monday July 3rd, 2000 2:04:01 AM
After unstringing and putting away his shortbow, Milo steps over to stand silently with his friends, remaining alert to the area around them as they move about surveying the immediate scene.
Ingrge Monday July 3rd, 2000 7:01:08 PM
Takes out several flasks of oil and pours them over the zombified elves. Anyone got a light? K'nara?
Shadrach Tuesday July 4th, 2000 1:44:44 AM
Shad picked up his discarded torch and applied it to the oiled bodies.
K'nara Wednesday July 5th, 2000 6:10:41 AM
The human bladesinger was about to comply with Ingrge's request when the bonze performed the grim task. Softly uttering the magic word to extinguish her sword's flame, K'nara stood, silent and solemn for a moment, watching the funeral pyre and hoping that Domi would sponsor these gallant elves before the judgement of the god of death.
