You have just entered room "forestshowdown."
Lithaladhwen: (Can you hold on just a second?)
Der DWSage: (Soitenly.)
Der DWSage: (Ready when you two are. Cast whatever buffs you wish.)
Lithaladhwen: (She's already got +3 AC.)
Besyanteo: *looking, letting her cast her spellses*
Besyanteo: (font*)
Lithaladhwen: (I think that's all I've got without a better idea of what's going on.)
Der DWSage: (Kay then. We begin...)
Der DWSage: *Suddenly, out of fucking nowhere, three bolts of what looks like pure force energy streak at them!*
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 3 20-sided dice: 6 19 3
Besyanteo: (... Er.)
Besyanteo: (That's not damage, right?)
Lithaladhwen: (One of them. Magic missile can only hit one target, presumably.)
Der DWSage: (Actually...yeah, jumped the gun a bit there. Spot checks?)
Lithaladhwen: (*sprays her screen*)
OnlineHost: Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Besyanteo: (14)
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
Lithaladhwen: (21)
Der DWSage: (Zea sees them coming. She is not flat-footed! She is, however, dangling a hundred feet in the air.)
Lithaladhwen: (What the hell good is that? Not like you can dodge magic missile.)
Besyanteo: (She can make a good manuverability flyer go higher, though)
Der DWSage: (So. 1 hits Haku, 2 hits Zea. Only that 2nd one was actually a hit...)
Der DWSage: (And who said they were Magic Missile? =D)
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 1 2-sided die: 2
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 1
Besyanteo: (.... again with 1d2.)
Lithaladhwen: Haku! *points*
Besyanteo: *Pulls up!*
Lithaladhwen: (Spellcraft to identify that spell, while I'm at it.)
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
Lithaladhwen: (29)
Der DWSage: *As Zea points, two of the bolts go wide...but the third one hits her in the chest, dealing a mighty 11 damage.*
Lithaladhwen: (15+spell level < 29 )
Besyanteo: (Ooooh: Do you have improvbed counterspell?)
Der DWSage: *Oddly enough, it doesn't look like actual magic...just a spell-like effect from a magic bow, perhaps?)
Besyanteo: (This could be nothing)
Lithaladhwen: (No, I just wanna know what it is.)
Besyanteo: (Ah)
Lithaladhwen: They mentioned a colleague with a really sweet bow. I think this is him.
Lithaladhwen: (Can they see him?)
Der DWSage: *Yes, yes they can. Blonde, human...and presumably holding a bow.*
Lithaladhwen: (Is it Zea's turn?)
Der DWSage: (Yes. Then Haku. Then Blondy.)
Der DWSage: (I should think to establish these things.)
Lithaladhwen: *They're close enough. Zea casts Entangle.*
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
Der DWSage: (Does an 18 beat her save DC? >_>)
Lithaladhwen: (By one.)
Der DWSage: *He does some sort of acrobatic leap out of the briars...though he's still caught. Poor bastard.*
Lithaladhwen: (At least he can only move at half speed, and has to make a new save every round he's in there.)
Besyanteo: *And... he dives!*
Besyanteo: (Moving down 60 feet...)
Besyanteo: (and, for my standard action... Hm)
Besyanteo: *He'll cast Cure Lighjt Wounds on Zea*
OnlineHost: Besyanteo rolled 1 8-sided die: 5
Besyanteo: (10 HP gained back)
Lithaladhwen: (Thanks!)
Der DWSage: (Go team! =D)
Besyanteo: (I figure he was already in touch range. Whee!)
Der DWSage: *Hey, look, he's firing again! He's a good shot, apparently.*
Besyanteo: (Now 40 feet up)
Der DWSage: (This time, all three shots on Haku. Since, y'know. He's the flyer.)
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 3 20-sided dice: 14 19 11
Besyanteo: (Now: )
Besyanteo: (Is it considered magic for damage purposes?)
Besyanteo: (also: AC 22)
Der DWSage: (Yes. It will hurt. It will go through anything not DR/-. Two hits!)
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 2 5 4
Der DWSage: (23 damage to the poor Gnoll.)
Besyanteo: *He growls as they open up fairly serious looking wounds*
Lithaladhwen: Haku! Get us down there and take care of yourself. I can take him.
Besyanteo: Y-Yeah...
Besyanteo: (CAn we switch initiative?)
Besyanteo: (I think that there's a mechanic for that)
Der DWSage: (I'll just let you do it.)
Besyanteo: *They land!*
Besyanteo: *Zea is let go, and...*
Lithaladhwen: (Whose turn is it right now?)
Besyanteo: (Spell Like Ability: Cure Serious Wounds on himself)
OnlineHost: Besyanteo rolled 3 8-sided dice: 8 3 6
Lithaladhwen: (Nice.)
Besyanteo: (... 22!)
Besyanteo: *The wounds almost completely close*
Der DWSage: (Very nice. You are now both at 1 damage!)
Besyanteo: *They're more like cuts now*
Besyanteo: (And, Zea)
Lithaladhwen: *Where is Mister Wizard?*
Der DWSage: *The man is less than 20 feet away, though still in brambles and such. And pulling the string back yet again, forming an arrow in it...*
Der DWSage: *He is also wearing armor. This is an oddity for wizards...*
Besyanteo: Hn... Hu...
Besyanteo: That can't be him...
Besyanteo: ... He must be Norbert's friend
Lithaladhwen: *Zea summons two shadows. They attack Mr. Wizard.*
Der DWSage: *He's also snarling!* I hate healers. You shoot them and they patch themselves up...
Der DWSage: ...Sunnavabitch.
Lithaladhwen: (Incorporeal touch. 6 and... 23. If a 14 incorp. touch would have hit him, that second is a critical.)
Lithaladhwen: (He takes either 1 or 2d6 STR damage.)
Der DWSage: (It would! Go ahead and roll.)
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 6
Lithaladhwen: (Eight STR damage.)
Lithaladhwen: (Enjoy your grapple check.)
Der DWSage: YAIGH! >_<
Der DWSage: (Hrm. How much to break out of the grapple, then?)
Besyanteo: (Varies with the attacker.)
Lithaladhwen: (They stay for 16 rounds, too.)
Besyanteo: (Do youi knowthe mechanic?)
Besyanteo: (... Anyway. It's based on opposed unarmed attack checks)
Besyanteo: (Which iswhy the str drain is such a bitch)
Der DWSage: (Vaguely. Hrm.)
Lithaladhwen: (Well, he has to make another DC 20 reflex save to avoid being entangled. If he is entangled, he has to get out.)
Lithaladhwen: (I think. Let me look it up.)
Der DWSage: (*Simply looks it up!*)
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah. Make another reflex save at DC 17. If he fails, he needs to make a DC 20 STR check to get out.)
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Der DWSage: (That's a success. 19.)
Lithaladhwen: (Damn. That little whore. He still only gets to move at half speed.)
Der DWSage: (True. And for the grapple with the ghosties...hm.)
Lithaladhwen: (He doesn't need to grapple with them.)
Besyanteo: (He dodged more or less)
Lithaladhwen: (That was just to fuck up future grapples with angry plants.)
Der DWSage: (Ah. I see! In that case...one arrow for each of them, and one at Zea.)
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 3 20-sided dice: 3 17 16
Der DWSage: (Do...19 hit the ghosties? The rest hit for certain.)
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah, that'll hit them.)
Der DWSage: (Ghost one, Ghost two, Zea then.)
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 1 3 3 6 4
Der DWSage: (10, 10, 14 damage.)
Der DWSage: (And the arrows are considered Force, so they kinda connect no matter what. >_>)
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah, they do. What are these attack rolls you're making again?)
Lithaladhwen: (Just normal attacks or something else?)
Der DWSage: (10 damage to each ghost, and 14 damage to Zea. And they're just normal attacks.)
Besyanteo: *He draws his blade, and quickly covers the 20 feet between himself and the archer*
Lithaladhwen: (Careful of the angry plants.)
Besyanteo: *And, he swipes quickly with the flat of his blade.... At the bow!*
Besyanteo: (Dis-arm attempt)
Besyanteo: (You take an AoO now.)
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
Der DWSage: (Oh dear.)
Lithaladhwen: (Whoo.)
Besyanteo: (... HAHAHAHAHAHA)
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Besyanteo: (total?)
Der DWSage: (>_> 23 hits. By one.)
Besyanteo: (Roll your crit damage!)
Der DWSage: (So...yeah. This is gonna hurt.)
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 4
Der DWSage: (30 damage.)
Besyanteo: *Zea gets to see somethingy shiney and blue exit his off shoulder. Ouchy.*
Besyanteo: (Next: )
Besyanteo: (Opposed weapon checks)
OnlineHost: Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
Besyanteo: (... beat 15)
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
Besyanteo: (You beat 15)
Besyanteo: (Disarm fails.)
Der DWSage: (Damn Jason. Your luck sucks.)
Besyanteo: *He...well, let's come out and say it. He screams.*
Besyanteo: *sometimes being confident is bad. Mhm.*
Der DWSage: *It seems that Shooting your Opponent in the fucking shoulder = Good way to not get disarmed!*
Besyanteo: (Zea's go)
Lithaladhwen: *Zea swaps out a fifth level spell for an inflict spell. Mass inflict minor wounds. Her wraiths get 1d8+10, and Mr. Wizard takes damage if he fails a DC 21 will save.*
Der DWSage: Back UP, you ugly dog motherfucker!
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 1 8-sided die: 2
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Lithaladhwen: (12.)
Der DWSage: (He fails it!)
Lithaladhwen: (And after Zea are two shadows at full HP.)
Besyanteo: (What do they do? :o)
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 2 20-sided dice: 11 18
Lithaladhwen: (Incorporeal touch attacks. 14 and 21.)
Lithaladhwen: (Does he take STR damage?)
Besyanteo: (... Ha. I just realized.)
Der DWSage: (21 hits, 14 does not. I mis-did the math earlier. :{ )
Besyanteo: (If he takestoo much str damage, his armor will weigh him down.)
Lithaladhwen: (It might already.)
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Lithaladhwen: (BO HA HA HA)
Besyanteo: (... Ooooh.)
Besyanteo: (14 total str damage.)
Besyanteo: (Does he have 14 to start with?)
Der DWSage: (Yep. And that...takes him down to 0.)
Lithaladhwen: (Unless we retcon of the d6es from before.)
Besyanteo: (He can't move.)
Der DWSage: *Grunts as he suddenly...well...falls over*
Der DWSage: (Nah.)
Der DWSage: Son. Of. A. Bitch...
Besyanteo: *holding his shoulder*
Lithaladhwen: *dismisses the entangle effect*
Lithaladhwen: You're a jackass.
Lithaladhwen: *keeps the shadows floating around for a while yet because she can*
Der DWSage: *Twitches*
Besyanteo: ... You're not the man who attacked me before. >_o;
Besyanteo: Why did you now?!
Lithaladhwen: I ought to let them suck the life out of your body until you join them as my pet. What is going on?
Der DWSage: ...Because. You were trying to leave.
Besyanteo: ....
Der DWSage: Can't let anyone leave the village...
Lithaladhwen: (Hey Sage.)
Der DWSage: (Oh, hey. Spot, Sense Motive, Spellcraft? Any of them will do.)
Lithaladhwen: (I think you need to retcon one of those d6's of damage from before and just have his armor weighing him down.)
Lithaladhwen: (Otherwise he's a shadow now.)
Der DWSage: (Kay then. That works as well.)
Besyanteo: /roll-dice2-sides20
Besyanteo: (... oy)
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 20-sided dice: 18 1 13
Der DWSage: (Indeed.)
Besyanteo: (also: Sense, Spot, Spell)
OnlineHost: Besyanteo rolled 3 20-sided dice: 16 8 7
Der DWSage: *...They will both notice. Same spell effects as the others. Sunnavabitch.*
Lithaladhwen: (Spot 24, Sense Motive fail, Spellcraft 28.)
Lithaladhwen: So why can't we leave?
Besyanteo: (22, 16, 11)
Der DWSage: Because. He said so.
Lithaladhwen: Who's "he?"
Besyanteo: ... ARe you being manipulated by a Geas?
Besyanteo: (Scratch)
Besyanteo: (Hers is more important)
Der DWSage: Can't tell you.
Lithaladhwen: Because he said so?
Besyanteo: (NOW it's important)
Der DWSage: Yep.
Lithaladhwen: Why'd he say so?
Besyanteo: (... Ish)
Lithaladhwen: IM: Because. Why? Because. Why? Because. Why?
Der DWSage: Because. He said so.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, I thought as much.
Besyanteo: IS your entire mercenary troupe under the geas?
Der DWSage: Can't say. Probably.
Besyanteo: He was here. Where did he go?
Der DWSage: ...He wasn't here. I was.
Besyanteo: ...
Lithaladhwen: IM: All right. Well. He's no use to me like this. If we can't get any information out of him, I say we either leave him out here, or I let my shadows drain him down.
Besyanteo: What, your bow also shoots lightning?
Besyanteo: ... Ok. Ok. *hesighs*
Der DWSage: Farther off? Yeah.
Besyanteo: ... Can you break something like this, Zea?
Lithaladhwen: Pff. No. I could probably get more information out of him dead than alive.
Lithaladhwen: You want me to try?
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: *staringi n open and unabashed surprise*
Lithaladhwen: (This is the best stage of roleplaying Zea. The beginning of the creepiness.)
Der DWSage: (Indeed.)
Besyanteo: .... No?
Der DWSage: ...Ah. Erm.
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs* All right. I'm just saying.
Der DWSage: Thank you?
Besyanteo: ... What CAN you tell us?
Lithaladhwen: Don't thank me. If not for him you'd be orbiting my head whispering at strangers right now.
Der DWSage: *Thinks*
Besyanteo: IM: Forthe sake ofthe town, he might anyway in a minute
Lithaladhwen: (The beginning of the creepiness is the finest stage.)
Der DWSage: (Obviously.)
Der DWSage: ...I'd really like to not get hit again.
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: *he sighs*
Der DWSage: Oh, and the twins are fucking creepy.
Besyanteo: ... There's no choice.
Besyanteo: The people of the town need us to do this. >_<
Besyanteo: .... *he looks away*
Lithaladhwen: *casually* 'kay.
Der DWSage: ...Fuck. Never wanted it this way...
Lithaladhwen: Sir? You want to appeal to a deity or something?
Der DWSage: Can't. He won't let me.
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: *tearing little troughes in his skin with his claws jsut hearing that*
Lithaladhwen: Well, you won't end up anywhere weird with me. Some necromancers screw with people. I'm not like that.
Lithaladhwen: You'll just go where you'll go.
Der DWSage: ...I see.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Killing him ought to break the enchantment.
Lithaladhwen: Yeeeup.
Lithaladhwen: *Attacks him with her scythe, hoping to kill him quickly.*
Besyanteo: (I imagine you can coup de grace under the circumstanes)
Der DWSage: *KERSLICE*
Der DWSage: *...Hey, you could always loot his stuff now.*
Besyanteo: (Also: I wonder if condoning this warrants an alignment change?)
Lithaladhwen: (Questions first.)
Lithaladhwen: (What was his alignment?)
Der DWSage: (NE.)
Der DWSage: (So, yeah. A right bastard.)
Besyanteo: (Ha ha.)
Lithaladhwen: (Hrm. Damn. This might actually be tricky, then.)
Lithaladhwen: (Then I think this provokes a will save from his corpse. That's a weird mechanic.)
Der DWSage: (Huh.)
Der DWSage: (Well then!)
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah, I dunno. That's weird.)
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
Lithaladhwen: (DC 19.)
Der DWSage: (7.)
Besyanteo: (heh)
Lithaladhwen: (Oh. Fail.)
Lithaladhwen: Hey, mister. Who told you to keep people from leaving this village?
Der DWSage: The Vampire. Deskryn's his name. He fled from a Paladin...and we happened to be his first victims.
Lithaladhwen: Whom else did he hire?
Der DWSage: Lessee...I'm not sure of everyone, mind you.
Der DWSage: Probably my friends. Definitely the councilwoman. Three other big-timers in the village.
Besyanteo: They dwarf suddenly left the smithy...
Besyanteo: Dod you know why?
Lithaladhwen: Where does he sleep?
Lithaladhwen: (scratch)
Lithaladhwen: (Bes goes first.)
Lithaladhwen: Why did the dwarf leave the smithy?
Der DWSage: Eh? Oh. Hiding in his home.
Der DWSage: Like everyone else, I imagine.
Lithaladhwen: Haku? No yes or no questions. He might just say yes or no.
Besyanteo: ... Reallythought there would be mroe too it.
Besyanteo: Ah... Right
Besyanteo: *clams up for now*
Lithaladhwen: Where does Deskryn sleep during the day?
Lithaladhwen: (And that's our last question.)
Der DWSage: In the cellar of the bar.
Lithaladhwen: Thank you. Gods be with you.
Besyanteo: (... Ha ha. I didn't know we ahd a limit)
Besyanteo: (I'll keep that in mind)
Lithaladhwen: (We did. I was keeping track.)
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: Oh GODS
Besyanteo: They're rightthere with the girls!
Der DWSage: *I have no idea what happens here. It probably involves brimstone and fire*
Lithaladhwen: We need to go. *still kneeling next to the body, she touches her forehead in respect*
Lithaladhwen: *stands*
Lithaladhwen: (Actually, I think the corpse just stops moving.)
Besyanteo: .... I can try to fly us. >_o;
Lithaladhwen: (It goes all bleeeeeeh and inanimate again.)
Der DWSage: *Y'know, he's got a sweet bow there. You could totally take it*
Besyanteo: BUt I'd understand if you didn't want to.
Lithaladhwen: I don't mind. You want anything here?
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: *Well, he's not lawful*
Der DWSage: (Loot the corpse!)
Besyanteo: *He takes the bow*
Der DWSage: (It beckons to you...)
Lithaladhwen: I'm good. I don't need anything.
Besyanteo: (Must remember, not lawful... Whee)
Lithaladhwen: Let's go.
Besyanteo: *He picks her up!*
Besyanteo: *And off they go!*
Besyanteo: *His good arm alone is neough to take her. Whee.*
Lithaladhwen: (I am assuming 13 rounds have passed since combat began and now her shadows are gone.)
Besyanteo: (Also: )
Der DWSage: (Aye, they have.)
Besyanteo: (As long as that took, ICly it was very short... so we should show up on the other side about now(
Lithaladhwen: (Okay!)
Der DWSage: (For the record? This guy was a Ranger. I was totally amused that you were convinced so utterly that he was the mage.)
Lithaladhwen: (I actually knew as soon as he started shooting at us.)
Besyanteo: (I really was. :o)
Lithaladhwen: (Which is why I didn't cast Hold Person on him.)
Besyanteo: (She's more versed in thegame than I am.)
Lithaladhwen: (He's liable to make that save.)
Lithaladhwen: *casts Death Ward on Haku en route*
Besyanteo: (Death Ward? o.o)
Lithaladhwen: (Actually, wait. Never mind.)
Lithaladhwen: (I was thinking something that didn't make sense.)
Lithaladhwen: (She'll do that later.)
Besyanteo: (*nod*)
Der DWSage: (Kay then. This room...is now moot.)
Der DWSage has left the room.
