[Tue Sep 16 19:46:53 2008] : Dan: ...
[Tue Sep 16 19:47:27 2008] : Adrin: so
[Tue Sep 16 19:47:37 2008] : DM: Everyone ready?
[Tue Sep 16 19:47:50 2008] : Oona: yup
[Tue Sep 16 19:47:57 2008] : Adrin: yep
[Tue Sep 16 19:48:00 2008] : Dan: yep
[Tue Sep 16 19:48:01 2008] : Aliatra: Yep
[Tue Sep 16 19:48:55 2008] : DM: GAME START
[Tue Sep 16 19:49:34 2008] : DM: You've secured Akbar in the Elder's celler for the night, in preparation for a Zone of Truth spell in the morning.
[Tue Sep 16 19:50:22 2008] : DM: What are you going to do overnight?
[Tue Sep 16 19:50:54 2008] : Adrin: "Well, nothing more to do here til the morning, so I'm going to get some sleep"
[Tue Sep 16 19:51:11 2008] : Oona: sleep sounds good
[Tue Sep 16 19:51:16 2008] : Dan: "Right, what do you think of my plan to teleport to the city and try to get a higher ranking priest to come back with me in the morning?"
[Tue Sep 16 19:51:16 2008] : Aliatra: "And me"
[Tue Sep 16 19:51:19 2008] : Oona: ooc did i miss a game?
[Tue Sep 16 19:51:29 2008] : Aliatra: ooc You did
[Tue Sep 16 19:51:37 2008] : Oona: ooc k
[Tue Sep 16 19:51:47 2008] : DM: ooc sorry, I should have recapped.
[Tue Sep 16 19:51:56 2008] : Aliatra: "Sounds good, Dan"
[Tue Sep 16 19:53:12 2008] : Oona: ooc nope I should have read it :)
[Tue Sep 16 19:53:26 2008] : DM: During the day you talked to everyone connected to the recent deaths, having done so you decided to question Akbar's only real follower only to have him killed by a freak lightning storm before he said anything useful.
[Tue Sep 16 19:54:22 2008] : DM: Akbar was implicated and you confronted him, he eventually capitulated and agreed to be taken to see the Elder.
[Tue Sep 16 19:55:05 2008] : DM: The Elder decided that the charges were sufficiently grave than incarcerating Akbar was the correct thing to do, until Aliatra could use a Zone of Truth spell to get to the bottom of the matter.
[Tue Sep 16 19:56:10 2008] : Oona: "Dan, if htat means that the chances that he tells the truth are higher, I think it's a great idea"
[Tue Sep 16 19:56:26 2008] : DM: Okay, Dan tries and teleports: [1d100] => [47] = (47)
[Tue Sep 16 19:57:26 2008] : Dan: "Is one of you coming with me?"
[Tue Sep 16 19:58:45 2008] : Adrin: "I suppose I'll come along"
[Tue Sep 16 19:58:53 2008] : Adrin: sigh
[Tue Sep 16 19:59:08 2008] : Dan: Dan takes Adrin with him
[Tue Sep 16 19:59:19 2008] : Dan: ooc not sure how you want to handle this DM
[Tue Sep 16 19:59:30 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra heads for the inn
[Tue Sep 16 19:59:59 2008] : Dan: ooc the plan is to seek the temple of the farming god and explain
[Tue Sep 16 20:00:42 2008] : DM: The trip is unexciting, the head priest of the temple of Fiora (the lesser god of fields and harvest that Akbar claimed to represent) had never heard of Akbar and agrees that the matter required further investigation.
[Tue Sep 16 20:01:07 2008] : DM: He assigns a senior priestess to travel back with you.
[Tue Sep 16 20:01:52 2008] : Dan: ooc need to wait until morning to travel back, so resting in the city I guess
[Tue Sep 16 20:02:14 2008] : DM: Okay. Travelling back: [1d100] => [59] = (59)
[Tue Sep 16 20:03:10 2008] : Dan: Dan and Adrin reappear in the village with a proper priest
[Tue Sep 16 20:03:50 2008] : DM: You arrive back in Greenmere in the morning with Priestess Helene Alexis in tow.
[Tue Sep 16 20:04:04 2008] : Aliatra: ooc Proper priest? Proper priest? /me pouts
[Tue Sep 16 20:04:13 2008] : Dan: ooc LOL
[Tue Sep 16 20:04:29 2008] : Adrin: ooc lol
[Tue Sep 16 20:04:37 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra has prayed for Zone of Truth after a good night's sleep
[Tue Sep 16 20:04:46 2008] : DM: You gather in the main room of the Elder's house.
[Tue Sep 16 20:05:35 2008] : Elder: "If we are already, then bring up Akbar so we may learn the truth of this matter."
[Tue Sep 16 20:05:56 2008] : Aliatra: "Adrin, shall we get him here?"
[Tue Sep 16 20:06:29 2008] : Adrin: "No time like the present"
[Tue Sep 16 20:07:12 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra goes down to the cellar to get Akbar
[Tue Sep 16 20:07:33 2008] : Elder: The door is still barred.
[Tue Sep 16 20:08:01 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra opens the door
[Tue Sep 16 20:08:28 2008] : Dan: "Well, if he's still down there that is"
[Tue Sep 16 20:08:32 2008] : Aliatra: "Time to get up, Akbar"
[Tue Sep 16 20:09:08 2008] : DM: Inside the celler room lies Akbar sprawled on the ground on a pool of blood. Scrawled in what you assume is his own blood is a final message from Akbar.
[Tue Sep 16 20:09:11 2008] : Adrin: Adrin draws his sword before the door is opened
[Tue Sep 16 20:09:31 2008] : Aliatra: "Darn!"
[Tue Sep 16 20:09:58 2008] : Aliatra: "Better get the elder here, so he can see what happened for himself"
[Tue Sep 16 20:10:13 2008] : Adrin: "The only pity is that he drew his own blood"
[Tue Sep 16 20:10:22 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra enters, avoiding the blood and checks on Akbar
[Tue Sep 16 20:10:27 2008] : Aliatra: Heal Skill Check: [1d20+8] => [13,8] = (21)
[Tue Sep 16 20:11:04 2008] : DM: Akbar is quite dead.
[Tue Sep 16 20:11:15 2008] : Dan: oob brb
[Tue Sep 16 20:11:22 2008] : Aliatra: ooc Never hurts to check ;)
[Tue Sep 16 20:12:10 2008] : Adrin: Adrin calls for the elder
[Tue Sep 16 20:12:31 2008] : DM: ooc can't decide on the exact phrasing of this message.
[Tue Sep 16 20:12:33 2008] : Aliatra: "Let's see what he's been writing here"
[Tue Sep 16 20:13:46 2008] : Dan: "Hmm, an odd choice of ending for one wielding arcane power"
[Tue Sep 16 20:14:19 2008] : Oona: "I can't believe we didn't think of this"
[Tue Sep 16 20:14:24 2008] : Oona: "We should have stood guard"
[Tue Sep 16 20:14:32 2008] : DM: The message reads: "I take my secrets to Shadroth and the Shadow."
[Tue Sep 16 20:15:13 2008] : Aliatra (enter): 20:15
[Tue Sep 16 20:15:13 2008] : Aliatra (exit): 20:15
[Tue Sep 16 20:15:13 2008] : Aliatra (enter): 20:15
[Tue Sep 16 20:15:38 2008] : Adrin: "Well I think that message at least proves that we were right"
[Tue Sep 16 20:16:02 2008] : Elder Kade: The Elder looks shocked but nods agreement.
[Tue Sep 16 20:16:08 2008] : Elder Kade: ooc he also gains a name.
[Tue Sep 16 20:16:13 2008] : Aliatra: Booting '(5) Aliatra' from server...
[Tue Sep 16 20:16:14 2008] : Aliatra (exit): 20:16
[Tue Sep 16 20:17:18 2008] : Aliatra: "I just wished we'd have had a chance to ask him some questions"
[Tue Sep 16 20:18:18 2008] : Dan: "One can only assume that the being with whom he was aligned would have offered him a fate worse than death in such a circumstance"
[Tue Sep 16 20:18:25 2008] : Priestess Alexis: "I too would have been interested in questioning one who falsely claims allegience with Fiora."
[Tue Sep 16 20:18:45 2008] : Adrin: "We may never know"
[Tue Sep 16 20:19:12 2008] : Aliatra: "Unless we call him back to ask questions"
[Tue Sep 16 20:19:27 2008] : Priestess Alexis: "My knowledge of the Plane of Shadows is limited but I can only assume he wished to enter it via is own death."
[Tue Sep 16 20:19:47 2008] : Dan: "In any way, I fear that there is a village here in much need of your guidance priestess"
[Tue Sep 16 20:20:16 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra looks uncomfortable as she speaks those words
[Tue Sep 16 20:20:31 2008] : Dan: "Can you do so Ali?"
[Tue Sep 16 20:20:45 2008] : Dan: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+21] => [2,21] = (23)
[Tue Sep 16 20:21:07 2008] : Priestess Alexis: "Quite. I shall discuss the matter with the temple and a suitable priest or priestess shall be found. It is unforgivable that a place such as this should be without guidance."
[Tue Sep 16 20:22:37 2008] : Dan: Knowledge: The Planes Skill Check: [1d20+19] => [17,19] = (36)
[Tue Sep 16 20:22:56 2008] : Aliatra: "I can do that, but not today. And he would not be truly alive, but able to answer a limited amount of questions"
[Tue Sep 16 20:22:58 2008] : Adrin: "Might want to send someone who knows a little about the Plane of Shadows, just in case something comes back"
[Tue Sep 16 20:23:04 2008] : Dan: ooc thinking about what Alexis said about entering the plane of shadow
[Tue Sep 16 20:23:48 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra is thinking of the same thing
[Tue Sep 16 20:23:54 2008] : Aliatra: Knowledge: The Planes Skill Check: [1d20+10] => [13,10] = (23)
[Tue Sep 16 20:24:03 2008] : Oona: "That wouldn't be me"
[Tue Sep 16 20:24:16 2008] : Priestess Alexis: Dan, Alexis is right. Part of Akbar will linger on in the plane of shadows due to the manner of his death.
[Tue Sep 16 20:25:08 2008] : Priestess Alexis: (to Adrin) "Your advice is noted."
[Tue Sep 16 20:25:16 2008] : Aliatra: [1d4] => [4] = (4)
[Tue Sep 16 20:25:44 2008] : Dan: "So, this mystery is over..."
[Tue Sep 16 20:25:52 2008] : Dan: "What do we do next?"
[Tue Sep 16 20:26:16 2008] : Priestess Alexis: ooc 3000 XP each
[Tue Sep 16 20:26:53 2008] : DM: ooc you do have two clues: Akbar's staff and the view through the portal (a cave in the woods).
[Tue Sep 16 20:28:05 2008] : Dan: ooc what's the XP for level 11??
[Tue Sep 16 20:28:22 2008] : Oona: ooc 55000
[Tue Sep 16 20:29:01 2008] : Dan: ooc thanks... just 469 away!
[Tue Sep 16 20:29:31 2008] : Dan: "I guess that I could start by looking at the staff"
[Tue Sep 16 20:29:45 2008] : Adrin: ooc 1818 for me
[Tue Sep 16 20:29:52 2008] : Adrin: "Be careful Dan"
[Tue Sep 16 20:29:59 2008] : Aliatra: ooc Really? I'm over 3000 away
[Tue Sep 16 20:30:15 2008] : Dan: "Ok Adrin"
[Tue Sep 16 20:30:53 2008] : Oona: ooc I'm over 5000 away
[Tue Sep 16 20:31:12 2008] : Dan: ooc as Bert's usually behind you Ali, I'd suggest you missed something :(
[Tue Sep 16 20:31:45 2008] : Aliatra: ooc I must have, since I miss less games than any of you
[Tue Sep 16 20:31:54 2008] : Adrin: ooc we can add it up later
[Tue Sep 16 20:32:02 2008] : DM: Can I get a spell craft check for the staff?
[Tue Sep 16 20:32:12 2008] : Aliatra: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+2] => [20,2] = (22)
[Tue Sep 16 20:32:14 2008] : Dan: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+21] => [12,21] = (33)
[Tue Sep 16 20:32:37 2008] : Dan: Dan spends some time examining the staff
[Tue Sep 16 20:32:42 2008] : Dan: Knowledge: Arcana Skill Check: [1d20+19] => [9,19] = (28)
[Tue Sep 16 20:32:54 2008] : Dan: Aryadan Casts: Identify (level 1): Determines properties of magic item
[Tue Sep 16 20:34:06 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra watches as Dan examines
[Tue Sep 16 20:34:32 2008] : DM: The identify spell reveals that it can be used to cast a variant of the dimension door spell: Shadow door.
[Tue Sep 16 20:36:03 2008] : Dan: "Hmm, shadow door eh?"
[Tue Sep 16 20:36:22 2008] : DM: Shadow door opens a temporarily portal via the Plane of Shadows between the location of the staff and a predetermined location within 2 miles. The staff has only 8 charges remaining.
[Tue Sep 16 20:36:25 2008] : Dan: "A variant on Dimension door"
[Tue Sep 16 20:36:55 2008] : DM: The staff also seems to be a focus for a bigger, more powerful conjuration spell. But what exactly you can't determine.
[Tue Sep 16 20:37:49 2008] : Dan: "And... something else. I'm not sure what"
[Tue Sep 16 20:38:31 2008] : Dan: ooc I get +2 to spellcraft vs conjuration (err, maybe learning only though)
[Tue Sep 16 20:38:49 2008] : Adrin: "Not sure sounds bad."
[Tue Sep 16 20:39:30 2008] : DM: It's also +3 and can be used to cast Shadow Conjuration 2x per day.
[Tue Sep 16 20:39:57 2008] : Dan: "Hmm, shadow conjuration"
[Tue Sep 16 20:40:06 2008] : Dan: "It's also a magical weapon"
[Tue Sep 16 20:40:52 2008] : Oona: "I don't like it when Dan is not sure"
[Tue Sep 16 20:40:52 2008] : Dan: (whispering): Was that the other spell, or am I still unsure?
[Tue Sep 16 20:40:59 2008] : Aliatra: "A versatile piece of wood"
[Tue Sep 16 20:41:11 2008] : Dan: "Heh, indeed Ali"
[Tue Sep 16 20:41:32 2008] : whispering to Dan, No, the shadow conjuration is an additional ability. other spell is still unknown
[Tue Sep 16 20:41:56 2008] : Dan: "Yes Oona, I'm not particularly happy about it either"
[Tue Sep 16 20:42:21 2008] : Adrin: "Worth getting a second opinion?"
[Tue Sep 16 20:42:50 2008] : Dan: "Probably, someone who can cast an Analyse Dweomer spell"
[Tue Sep 16 20:43:27 2008] : Adrin: Adrin checks his pockets "Sorry all out today"
[Tue Sep 16 20:43:50 2008] : Aliatra: "I hope you're not asking me"
[Tue Sep 16 20:43:53 2008] : Adrin: ooc brb
[Tue Sep 16 20:44:10 2008] : Dan: "No Ali, it's a high level arcane spell"
[Tue Sep 16 20:44:22 2008] : Dan: "Beyond any of us here"
[Tue Sep 16 20:44:58 2008] : Dan: "We could take it to the city and see what we can find, although I'm not certain how welcome we'll be at the wizard's guild"
[Tue Sep 16 20:45:24 2008] : Aliatra: "Why would the wizards be trouble for us?"
[Tue Sep 16 20:45:54 2008] : Dan: Dan raises an eyebrow
[Tue Sep 16 20:46:47 2008] : DM: ooc I recall an incident at an archeological investigation.
[Tue Sep 16 20:46:48 2008] : Dan: "Well, we harly left the cavern exploring party on the best of terms"
[Tue Sep 16 20:47:03 2008] : Oona: ooc Craig, can I borrow your memory?
[Tue Sep 16 20:47:21 2008] : Oona: Oona smiles
[Tue Sep 16 20:47:27 2008] : Aliatra: "I doubt they would talk about that too loudly, they had lots of egg on their faces"
[Tue Sep 16 20:47:31 2008] : Adrin: "Oh that, Surely they'll have forgotten about by now"
[Tue Sep 16 20:47:31 2008] : Oona: "Indeed. I guess they do not recall us fondly"
[Tue Sep 16 20:47:32 2008] : Dan: ooc you can try, but it's plugged in and is quite distant ;)
[Tue Sep 16 20:49:43 2008] : Dan: "Otherwise, the thought of shadow doors reminds me of the view through the one Akbar tried to escape through"
[Tue Sep 16 20:50:13 2008] : Adrin: "You think he has a secret hideout somewhere?"
[Tue Sep 16 20:50:41 2008] : Dan: "Quite likely. And probably within a radius of a couple of miles"
[Tue Sep 16 20:51:10 2008] : Adrin: "Any idea of the range of that shadow door?"
[Tue Sep 16 20:51:36 2008] : Aliatra: "So where could it be? Would it be guarded by a rather strange and gruesome bear, perhaps?"
[Tue Sep 16 20:51:57 2008] : Dan: "Let's try and remember as many details as possible"
[Tue Sep 16 20:52:12 2008] : Dan: "Maybe the local scout's apprentice can help us"
[Tue Sep 16 20:52:33 2008] : Dan: "What do you remember seeing through the door?"
[Tue Sep 16 20:53:24 2008] : Dan: "There was a cave..."
[Tue Sep 16 20:53:32 2008] : DM: ooc From the brief glimpse of through the portal you see trees, a stream and the dark mouth of a cave.
[Tue Sep 16 20:53:51 2008] : Aliatra: "Trees I remember"
[Tue Sep 16 20:54:28 2008] : Dan: "Perhaps I can sketch it from memory"
[Tue Sep 16 20:54:52 2008] : Dan: Dan takes out his paper and pencils and begins to draw
[Tue Sep 16 20:55:02 2008] : Dan: "Help me with details as I draw"
[Tue Sep 16 20:55:08 2008] : Dan: Craft: Painting Skill Check: [1d20+8] => [16,8] = (24)
[Tue Sep 16 20:55:38 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra closes her eyes as she tries to remember
[Tue Sep 16 20:55:52 2008] : DM: You only saw it for a few seconds so while the drawing is good you're not sure it's really right.
[Tue Sep 16 20:56:01 2008] : Dan: ooc good enough
[Tue Sep 16 20:56:20 2008] : Dan: "OK, let's take this to the apprentice boy and see if he can help"
[Tue Sep 16 20:56:38 2008] : Dan: "I think I'll put this staff in the haversack again"
[Tue Sep 16 20:57:04 2008] : Aliatra: "Do that, it is too dangerous to just have it lying around"
[Tue Sep 16 20:57:10 2008] : Dan: "Not knowing the purpose of presumably the most powerful spell, I'd rather not use it!"
[Tue Sep 16 20:58:02 2008] : Adrin: ooc phone
[Tue Sep 16 20:58:55 2008] : Oona: "Sounds reasonable"
[Tue Sep 16 20:58:59 2008] : Jak: "Hello. Have you come to ask more questions?"
[Tue Sep 16 21:00:24 2008] : Dan: Dan waits for the others to speak
[Tue Sep 16 21:01:02 2008] : Aliatra: "We were wondering if you could help us find a specific spot"
[Tue Sep 16 21:01:52 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra motions for Dan to give her the sketch
[Tue Sep 16 21:02:25 2008] : Jak: "I know most places hereabout."
[Tue Sep 16 21:03:00 2008] : Dan: Dan passes the sketch over
[Tue Sep 16 21:03:01 2008] : Aliatra: "The place we seek is very similar to this drawing"
[Tue Sep 16 21:04:02 2008] : Jak: Jak looks at it. "Well it could be a few of places, know anything more about it?"
[Tue Sep 16 21:04:51 2008] : Aliatra: "Strange things might be going on around there and weird animals might appear and disappear again, possibly"
[Tue Sep 16 21:07:15 2008] : Dan: "It could be close to where you took us lat time maybe?"
[Tue Sep 16 21:07:17 2008] : Jak: "Not heard of anything like that but I reckon it has to be Spider Cave, it's deep in the thickest part of the woods and no one goes there."
[Tue Sep 16 21:07:51 2008] : Jak: "All sorts could be going on in the dark corners of the woods without anyone noticing for a while."

[Tue Sep 16 22:06:29 2008] : Oona: ooc +1 to attack from haste
[Tue Sep 16 22:07:13 2008] : DM: One arrow hits, and the drider drips stinking ichor over Adrin below.
[Tue Sep 16 22:07:40 2008] : DM: Adrin? You can't reach the drider any more but it looks near death.
[Tue Sep 16 22:08:03 2008] : Adrin: Adrin backs up a little, drops his sword, draws his bow and attacks #3

[Tue Sep 16 22:16:15 2008] : Oona (enter): 22:16
[Tue Sep 16 22:16:20 2008] : Aliatra: ooc brb
[Tue Sep 16 22:16:24 2008] : Oona: Booting '(4) Oona' from server...
[Tue Sep 16 22:16:25 2008] : Oona (exit): 22:16
[Tue Sep 16 22:16:28 2008] : Aliatra: "Well, a spell and a good night and I'm fine as well. What's to find in this cave, except corpses? Oona, care to take a look around?"
[Tue Sep 16 22:16:31 2008] : Oona: ooc hmpf
[Tue Sep 16 22:16:39 2008] : Oona: "Yes, will do"
[Tue Sep 16 22:16:51 2008] : DM: ooc did you see the 1125 XP?
[Tue Sep 16 22:16:54 2008] : Oona: Oona takes her time to search around the cave
[Tue Sep 16 22:17:00 2008] : Oona: Search (+5 with goggles of minute seeing) Skill Check: [1d20+16] => [3,16] = (19)
[Tue Sep 16 22:17:08 2008] : Adrin: ooc brb
[Tue Sep 16 22:17:12 2008] : Aliatra: ooc brb
[Tue Sep 16 22:17:13 2008] : Oona: taking 20 plus goggles :)
[Tue Sep 16 22:17:19 2008] : Oona: ooc I did.
[Tue Sep 16 22:18:10 2008] : DM: The passage out leads to a smaller cavern with a circle about 3 m in diameter drawn on the ground. A small hole like a thing post hold at it's centre.
[Tue Sep 16 22:18:37 2008] : DM: A book and a candle rests on a ledge on the eastern wall of this room.
[Tue Sep 16 22:19:15 2008] : DM: The book as been trapped with a magical rune. It will trigger if it's moved or opened.
[Tue Sep 16 22:19:45 2008] : Oona: "Huh. That's a trap I can't do anything about, really"
[Tue Sep 16 22:19:51 2008] : Oona: "At least, I don't think"
[Tue Sep 16 22:19:59 2008] : Oona: "Dan, maybe you can figure that one out?"
[Tue Sep 16 22:20:01 2008] : Dan: "Oona, you are the only one who can"
[Tue Sep 16 22:20:02 2008] : DM: ooc rogues can disarm magical traps.
[Tue Sep 16 22:20:08 2008] : Oona: ooc ah? ok :)
[Tue Sep 16 22:20:23 2008] : DM: ooc in fact only rogues can disarm them.
[Tue Sep 16 22:20:36 2008] : Oona: "OK, I a m going to try this"
[Tue Sep 16 22:20:46 2008] : Adrin: ooc back
[Tue Sep 16 22:20:48 2008] : Oona: "Everyone stays back I am not sure what this will do"
[Tue Sep 16 22:21:02 2008] : Oona: oçoc another search check to study the trap?
[Tue Sep 16 22:21:52 2008] : Oona: Search (+5 with goggles of minute seeing) Skill Check: [1d20+16] => [14,16] = (30)
[Tue Sep 16 22:21:53 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra stays away from Oona and the trap
[Tue Sep 16 22:22:03 2008] : Aliatra: "Just be very careful, please"
[Tue Sep 16 22:22:20 2008] : Oona: oona concentrates on the intricate balance of the trap, trying to see where to start to disarm it
[Tue Sep 16 22:22:28 2008] : Oona: Disable Device Skill Check: [1d20+19] => [13,19] = (32)
[Tue Sep 16 22:23:13 2008] : Oona: Oona moves her hands deftly, pushing and pulling with her tools little mechanisms and almost inivisble cogs and pegs
[Tue Sep 16 22:23:32 2008] : DM: Okay.
[Tue Sep 16 22:24:32 2008] : Oona: "Now, I think I've done it"
[Tue Sep 16 22:24:36 2008] : Oona: "We"ll see"
[Tue Sep 16 22:25:18 2008] : DM: Where's everyone?
[Tue Sep 16 22:25:23 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra holds her breath
[Tue Sep 16 22:25:40 2008] : Oona: Oona slowly approaches the book and lifts it from the ledge
[Tue Sep 16 22:25:51 2008] : Aliatra: ooc Looking at Oona, but not interfering
[Tue Sep 16 22:26:04 2008] : Oona: ooc I suppose I'm there?
[Tue Sep 16 22:26:50 2008] : DM: FWOOMPH! A blazing ball of fire explodes from the book engulfing the room with a burning cloud that sears your flesh and cloths and starts to singe the edges of the book in your hands.
[Tue Sep 16 22:26:54 2008] : DM: Reflex save Oona.
[Tue Sep 16 22:27:07 2008] : Oona: Reflex (+1 vs traps, improved evasion) save: [1d20+14] => [8,14] = (22)
[Tue Sep 16 22:27:18 2008] : Oona: ok, it's a +3 vs trap
[Tue Sep 16 22:27:21 2008] : Oona: for the record :P
[Tue Sep 16 22:27:37 2008] : Aliatra: "Oona!"
[Tue Sep 16 22:27:40 2008] : Adrin: ooc you really need to update Oonas sheet
[Tue Sep 16 22:27:57 2008] : Oona: Oona holds on tight to the book, trying to prevent it from burning
[Tue Sep 16 22:28:09 2008] : DM: Your duck and roll away from the growing ball of burning gas and only your eyebrows are slightly toasted.
[Tue Sep 16 22:28:14 2008] : Oona: ooc I can't do it while orpg is running ;)
[Tue Sep 16 22:28:25 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra runs towards Oona
[Tue Sep 16 22:29:12 2008] : DM: 1200 XP
[Tue Sep 16 22:29:13 2008] : Oona: Oona nimbly gets on her feet and runs away, book in hand.
[Tue Sep 16 22:29:23 2008] : Oona: "Get the hell out of this room"
[Tue Sep 16 22:29:41 2008] : Adrin: ooc DM: everyone or just oona?
[Tue Sep 16 22:29:43 2008] : DM: The incindary cloud burns itself out after 15 rounds.
[Tue Sep 16 22:29:47 2008] : DM: ooc everyone.
[Tue Sep 16 22:30:09 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra turns around
[Tue Sep 16 22:30:11 2008] : Adrin: ooc 1200 xp for watching someone make a hash of disabling a trap :D
[Tue Sep 16 22:30:19 2008] : Aliatra: ooc LOL
[Tue Sep 16 22:30:19 2008] : DM: Oona's swift actions have saved the book from the fires.
[Tue Sep 16 22:30:28 2008] : Adrin: "Oona, are you ok?"
[Tue Sep 16 22:30:31 2008] : DM: ooc I don't make the rules.
[Tue Sep 16 22:30:49 2008] : Dan: ooc LOL
[Tue Sep 16 22:30:59 2008] : Adrin: ooc but you gotta admit, thats bizarre
[Tue Sep 16 22:31:01 2008] : Dan: "Yeah, wow!"
[Tue Sep 16 22:31:14 2008] : Aliatra: "Do you need healing?"
[Tue Sep 16 22:31:58 2008] : Oona: "I am good"
[Tue Sep 16 22:33:57 2008] : Oona: "Don't worry about me"
[Tue Sep 16 22:34:13 2008] : Aliatra: "You are, but you scared me half to death"
[Tue Sep 16 22:34:23 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra grins at Oona
[Tue Sep 16 22:34:43 2008] : Adrin: "So lets see if the risk was worth it"
[Tue Sep 16 22:35:13 2008] : Oona: "Well, know that where you excell in things of magic, I am better at things of this earth"
[Tue Sep 16 22:35:23 2008] : Oona: "And when I say "stay back, you stay back!"
[Tue Sep 16 22:35:49 2008] : Oona: Oona looks at the book and examines it for further mischief hidden in the pages
[Tue Sep 16 22:35:58 2008] : DM: The books is safe now.
[Tue Sep 16 22:36:18 2008] : DM: The text is in draconic.
[Tue Sep 16 22:36:47 2008] : DM: It looks to be an old book, certainly older than Akbar was so he wasn't the author.
[Tue Sep 16 22:37:57 2008] : Dan: "Let me take a look"
[Tue Sep 16 22:38:31 2008] : Dan: Dan waits to be handed the book then begins to skim through it
[Tue Sep 16 22:41:17 2008] : DM: It's mostly confused ramblings of shadows, death and darkness. The only thing of note within the text is an incantation. There's nothing saying what it does or how exactly to use it but the author talks of a focus, a circle and he (or she?) seems pleased over his discovery, calling it the "Way" with a bold capital.
[Tue Sep 16 22:41:29 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra watches over Dan's shoulder, but can't read a singel charecter
[Tue Sep 16 22:42:06 2008] : Dan: "This seems to be the ramblings of someone lost in the arts"
[Tue Sep 16 22:42:29 2008] : Dan: "There's an incantation, but it's unexplained"
[Tue Sep 16 22:42:46 2008] : Dan: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+21] => [20,21] = (41)
[Tue Sep 16 22:42:47 2008] : Adrin: "Sounds dangerous"
[Tue Sep 16 22:42:51 2008] : Dan: Knowledge: Arcana Skill Check: [1d20+19] => [16,19] = (35)
[Tue Sep 16 22:43:51 2008] : Aliatra: "Whatever you do, don't even try it before you understand it"
[Tue Sep 16 22:44:27 2008] : Adrin: [1d10] => [2] = (2)
[Tue Sep 16 22:44:36 2008] : Adrin: ooc poo HP roll :(
[Tue Sep 16 22:44:45 2008] : Dan: "I wouldn't Ali"
[Tue Sep 16 22:44:58 2008] : whispering to Dan, You spend some time puzzling over the incantation turning to discern it's meaning and you think it opens a portal between planes, but how exactly the incantation, the "circle" and the "focus" go together is still unclear. Some experimentation may be necessary.
[Tue Sep 16 22:45:54 2008] : Dan: "I think it refers to a portal between planes, but I'm not sure about some other parts of it"
[Tue Sep 16 22:46:24 2008] : Dan: "There's talk of a "circle" and a "focus""
[Tue Sep 16 22:47:08 2008] : Aliatra: "Sounds extremely dangerous"
[Tue Sep 16 22:48:07 2008] : Dan: "Well, it may well be that, but perhaps to stop the Shadowman from eating us it will be necessary to use it?"
[Tue Sep 16 22:48:52 2008] : Adrin: "Maybe, but lets not risk it until we have to, or know more about it"
[Tue Sep 16 22:48:55 2008] : Aliatra: "We need to understand it first"
[Tue Sep 16 22:49:22 2008] : Dan: "indeed"
[Tue Sep 16 22:50:00 2008] : Adrin: "Shall we head back to Town?"
[Tue Sep 16 22:50:18 2008] : Oona: "How do a circle and a focus, sound dangerous?"
[Tue Sep 16 22:50:43 2008] : Oona: "In any case, Adrin's solution seems to be the right one"
[Tue Sep 16 22:50:44 2008] : Adrin: "Its shadow magic - it sounds dangerous already"
[Tue Sep 16 22:50:53 2008] : Oona: "That part is, indeed"
[Tue Sep 16 22:51:46 2008] : Dan: "It's the ramblings that sound dangerous to me Oona"
[Tue Sep 16 22:52:12 2008] : Aliatra: "And the fact that even Dan is not sure what that incantation achieves"
[Tue Sep 16 22:52:58 2008] : Dan: "Let me look at the thing in the centre of the room before we leave"
[Tue Sep 16 22:53:47 2008] : Adrin: "Be careful"
[Tue Sep 16 22:55:07 2008] : DM: The circle is just lightly carved onto the rock floor, it's about 3 m (15 ft) in diameter and in the circle is a hole or socket for something round and the diameter of (say) a typical wizard's staff.
[Tue Sep 16 22:55:59 2008] : Dan: "I wonder if Akbar's staff completed this, and this is the circle mentioned in the book?"
[Tue Sep 16 22:56:25 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra looks at the circle and the rest of the cave and is curious about what might be there
[Tue Sep 16 22:56:34 2008] : Adrin: "Your call Dan. You're the expert"
[Tue Sep 16 22:56:40 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra Casts 0: Detect Magic (lvl 0) Detects spells and magic items within 60 ft.
[Tue Sep 16 22:57:24 2008] : DM: There's nothing magical, neither the circle not the hole, nor the book is magical. (The staff is of course).
[Tue Sep 16 22:58:17 2008] : Dan: "I have an idea that the incantation would open a portal here, but where to?"
[Tue Sep 16 23:00:31 2008] : Adrin: "I think we can probably guess"
[Tue Sep 16 23:00:36 2008] : Oona: "Hmm, before we find out, we might want to go back to town and prod to see if anyone ha heard of it?"
[Tue Sep 16 23:01:16 2008] : Aliatra: "And perhaps find someone who DOES understand that incantation?"
[Tue Sep 16 23:02:11 2008] : Dan: "I'm not suggesting that we try it now"
[Tue Sep 16 23:02:28 2008] : Adrin: "Good!"
[Tue Sep 16 23:02:36 2008] : DM: ooc :(
[Tue Sep 16 23:02:41 2008] : Oona: ooc lol
[Tue Sep 16 23:02:43 2008] : Dan: "Let's head back then"
[Tue Sep 16 23:03:11 2008] : Oona: ooc if that comforts you Dave, I'm completely out of it :)
[Tue Sep 16 23:03:21 2008] : Oona: ooc ie. dead, need to go to bed and all :P
[Tue Sep 16 23:03:31 2008] : DM: GAME END
[Tue Sep 16 23:03:44 2008] : Dan: ooc and the party walked away, happy that no-one would open the portal now - and the DM was mightily vexed and yea the protagonists were head-eaten by the shadowman
[Tue Sep 16 23:03:46 2008] : Aliatra: ooc Young people these days: no stamina :-P
[Tue Sep 16 23:03:56 2008] : Adrin: ooc lol
[Tue Sep 16 23:04:20 2008] : Aliatra: Go to bed, Delphine, before Emma wakes you up :)
[Tue Sep 16 23:04:30 2008] : Dan: Cheers Dave
[Tue Sep 16 23:04:44 2008] : Adrin: Thanks David, and g'night Del
[Tue Sep 16 23:04:59 2008] : DM: I'll have to work out how to convey that experimenting with the portal wouldn't be dangerous.
[Tue Sep 16 23:05:01 2008] : Dan: I'm mightily vexed - the output of PCGen is shite
[Tue Sep 16 23:05:23 2008] : Adrin: PCGen is a mixed blessing
[Tue Sep 16 23:05:39 2008] : Dan: I'm not sure if it's a new feature of PCGen or if it's due to linux (probably not as it's a java app)
[Tue Sep 16 23:06:05 2008] : Dan: I've always had to hand modify the HTML export, but this is really shit
[Tue Sep 16 23:06:09 2008] : Oona: hehe
[Tue Sep 16 23:06:13 2008] : Oona: it IS dangerous
