[Wed May 21 19:21:29 2014] : Artur: evening
[Wed May 21 19:21:42 2014] : DM: hi
[Wed May 21 19:24:15 2014] : Vaddyn (enter): 19:24
[Wed May 21 19:24:20 2014] : Vaddyn: Hi David
[Wed May 21 19:35:22 2014] : Vaddyn: So, has anyone thought of classes for the 'Arena'?
[Wed May 21 19:36:16 2014] : Artur: Not so much - IIRC it's a tag-team sort of thing
[Wed May 21 19:37:37 2014] : Artur: I've been mostly concentrating on prep for the game I'm DMing - got to balance two days' worth of encounters...
[Wed May 21 19:37:48 2014] : Artur: (and I have a horrible suspicion that the plot is too long!)
[Wed May 21 19:37:57 2014] : Vaddyn: Fair enough
[Wed May 21 19:38:19 2014] : Vaddyn: Pick out some bits that can be skipped if it runs too long
[Wed May 21 19:38:19 2014] : Hildy (enter): 19:38
[Wed May 21 19:38:43 2014] : Vaddyn: And yes, its tag team-y
[Wed May 21 19:38:57 2014] : Hildy: Huh?
[Wed May 21 19:39:02 2014] : DM: Don't try and balance them too hard -- luck, party preparedness etc. play a big role in encounter outcome.
[Wed May 21 19:39:02 2014] : Artur: Hi Craig
[Wed May 21 19:39:06 2014] : Vaddyn: the arena
[Wed May 21 19:39:18 2014] : Artur: David: yeah, but I can at least make them level-appropriate ;-)
[Wed May 21 19:39:26 2014] : Artur: don't want you just cakewalking everything
[Wed May 21 19:39:28 2014] : Vaddyn: Been thinking of doing the magus/summoner combo for the arena and something else for the 'real' game
[Wed May 21 19:39:56 2014] : Vaddyn: maybe not the shadow summoner though
[Wed May 21 19:40:11 2014] : Artur: What level is the arena game?
[Wed May 21 19:40:14 2014] : Vaddyn: 13?
[Wed May 21 19:40:24 2014] : Hildy: Yes
[Wed May 21 19:40:48 2014] : Hildy: Seems a bit high in retrospect
[Wed May 21 19:40:49 2014] : Vaddyn: tbh anything over 10 usually makes me a bit nervous
[Wed May 21 19:40:56 2014] : Hildy: Let's go with 9
[Wed May 21 19:40:59 2014] : Hildy: :-)
[Wed May 21 19:41:12 2014] : Vaddyn: pulse slowing...
[Wed May 21 19:41:18 2014] : Hildy: I'll need to nerf the random arena events though
[Wed May 21 19:41:29 2014] : Artur: If we go with 13 I can just use the character from last time ;-)
[Wed May 21 19:41:38 2014] : Vaddyn: no, no you can't
[Wed May 21 19:41:41 2014] : Artur: lol
[Wed May 21 19:41:51 2014] : Artur: I only optimised him halfway to hell and back
[Wed May 21 19:42:05 2014] : Vaddyn: I still remember Craigs comment
[Wed May 21 19:42:19 2014] : Vaddyn: "Henry character has a sword made of cheese"
[Wed May 21 19:42:47 2014] : DM: For the arena, I was going to a mounted warrior and I hadn't decided on the other.
[Wed May 21 19:42:56 2014] : Vaddyn: Brilliant Energy IIRC
[Wed May 21 19:43:22 2014] : DM: For Henry's game, an "urban" ranger I think or a ranger/rogue.
[Wed May 21 19:43:39 2014] : Artur: David: either of those would be a very sensible choice of class
[Wed May 21 19:43:55 2014] : Artur: How interested are people in free feats?
[Wed May 21 19:44:01 2014] : Vaddyn: o/
[Wed May 21 19:44:26 2014] : Hildy: I'm thinking Inquisitor in a an Helsing type way
[Wed May 21 19:44:31 2014] : Hildy: Van Helsing
[Wed May 21 19:44:40 2014] : Artur: OK - basically there'd be a feat in place of your two traits
[Wed May 21 19:44:46 2014] : Artur: sort of a character theme
[Wed May 21 19:44:48 2014] : Hildy: Heh
[Wed May 21 19:44:53 2014] : Hildy: Hmm
[Wed May 21 19:45:10 2014] : Hildy: Zeitgeist?
[Wed May 21 19:45:19 2014] : Artur: Possibly...
[Wed May 21 19:45:22 2014] : Hildy: LOL
[Wed May 21 19:45:22 2014] : Artur: (yes)
[Wed May 21 19:45:27 2014] : Artur: you've read it?
[Wed May 21 19:45:31 2014] : Hildy: I have the free player's guide
[Wed May 21 19:45:39 2014] : Artur: Excellent - that's a good start
[Wed May 21 19:45:53 2014] : Hildy: I only got it tonight. I didn't read too deeply in case it added spoilers
[Wed May 21 19:45:57 2014] : Artur: I'm sort of adapting bits of the first two adventures (level 1-3) for L4 characters
[Wed May 21 19:46:02 2014] : Artur: there's no spoilers in the guide
[Wed May 21 19:46:06 2014] : Hildy: KK
[Wed May 21 19:46:16 2014] : Artur: You had me worried there...
[Wed May 21 19:46:37 2014] : Hildy: Player's guide
[Wed May 21 19:46:55 2014] : Artur: Also, I've upgraded Artur's node - now with L4 spells and with skills!
[Wed May 21 19:46:57 2014] : Vaddyn: worth looking at?
[Wed May 21 19:47:03 2014] : Artur: I need to get my L1 spells in place.
[Wed May 21 19:47:16 2014] : Artur: Bert: yes, especially the theme feats and information about the city of Flint
[Wed May 21 19:47:33 2014] : Hildy: As I said, I only found it tonight
[Wed May 21 19:47:36 2014] : Artur: Dragon's Breath: Artur exhales, dealing [8d6(4,2,6,6,3,6,1,4) + 16] = 48 points of fire damage (Reflex DC 23 for half). Spell area is a 60' line or a 30' cone at Artur's choice.
[Wed May 21 19:47:54 2014] : Hildy: I was looking for inspiration of a SteamPunk type character
[Wed May 21 19:48:11 2014] : Vaddyn: ok
[Wed May 21 19:48:41 2014] : Artur: If anyone wants to play a summoner (Bert) the Technologist theme feat might work quite well - we could re-spin it to be a contraption rather than an eidolon.
[Wed May 21 19:49:16 2014] : Vaddyn: I'll have a look
[Wed May 21 19:52:13 2014] : Hildy: I saw that the campaign guide was available Henry, but I avoided it!
[Wed May 21 19:53:07 2014] : Vaddyn: Apparently I've gone well over a year without opening a pdf on this machine.
[Wed May 21 19:53:21 2014] : Hildy: Can you all get your characters for the Arena game to me for moderation by Sunday next week?
[Wed May 21 19:53:34 2014] : Hildy: i.e. a week on Sunday
[Wed May 21 19:53:40 2014] : DM: Yes, I was planning to work on them all this weekend.
[Wed May 21 19:53:44 2014] : Artur: Do my best
[Wed May 21 19:53:49 2014] : Vaddyn: yeah, should be grand
[Wed May 21 19:53:52 2014] : Artur: L9, any rules? What point buy etc.?
[Wed May 21 19:53:54 2014] : Hildy: Especially you Henry!
[Wed May 21 19:53:58 2014] : Artur: :-p
[Wed May 21 19:54:00 2014] : Hildy: It's on the wiki
[Wed May 21 19:54:04 2014] : Artur: bah
[Wed May 21 19:54:06 2014] : Hildy: 25 point
[Wed May 21 19:54:08 2014] : Artur: details ;-)
[Wed May 21 19:54:21 2014] : Hildy: Set mean HP
[Wed May 21 19:55:43 2014] : Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (20) Hildy...
[Wed May 21 19:55:56 2014] : DM: Shall we start?
[Wed May 21 19:56:20 2014] : Artur: yes :)
[Wed May 21 19:56:55 2014] : DM: GAME START
[Wed May 21 19:58:18 2014] : DM: You met with the captain of the group of Green Company mercenaries and agreed to track down some fugitives to pay of your blood debt for killing the mercenaries on the Military Road.
[Wed May 21 19:58:40 2014] : Miriam (enter): 19:58
[Wed May 21 20:02:20 2014] : DM: ooc sorry, looking something up in logs
[Wed May 21 20:02:36 2014] : Artur: "Where do we start looking?"
[Wed May 21 20:03:43 2014] : Vaddyn: "Is it worth asking around town before we go?"
[Wed May 21 20:03:45 2014] : DM: ooc the crystal Artur was going to investigate exploded along with the crown.
[Wed May 21 20:04:09 2014] : Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (21) Miriam...
[Wed May 21 20:04:18 2014] : Miriam: ooc That makes research a tad difficult
[Wed May 21 20:04:34 2014] : Artur: ooc yep
[Wed May 21 20:04:48 2014] : Artur: ooc means I don't get to show off my Spellcraft skill ;-)
[Wed May 21 20:05:02 2014] : DM: ooc there are at least 3 people/groups that might help
[Wed May 21 20:06:00 2014] : Hildy: ooc Artur was going to investigate the Lich's Phylactery
[Wed May 21 20:06:04 2014] : Vaddyn: Knowledge Local: [1d20(3) + 9] = 12 (+2 for local music)
[Wed May 21 20:06:10 2014] : Hildy: ooc it was from ages ago
[Wed May 21 20:06:19 2014] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn tries to think who to ask for information
[Wed May 21 20:06:59 2014] : DM: ooc Oh, that...
[Wed May 21 20:07:08 2014] : DM: ooc more trawlling of logs...
[Wed May 21 20:07:29 2014] : Artur: Knowledge: Local: [1d20(20) + 14] = 34
[Wed May 21 20:08:03 2014] : Hildy: ooc added to loot on 26th of September 2012
[Wed May 21 20:08:05 2014] : Hildy: ooc !
[Wed May 21 20:08:56 2014] : Artur: "I think my investigations can wait for now.
[Wed May 21 20:09:40 2014] : whispering to Vaddyn, Thomaz has a crystal ball he uses for scrying.
[Wed May 21 20:09:55 2014] : Artur: "We should hunt down the fugitives."
[Wed May 21 20:10:22 2014] : Vaddyn: "I think I recall seeing a crystal ball in Thomas' study. Perhaps he could help find our prey"
[Wed May 21 20:11:28 2014] : Artur: "That would be wise. I am no expert in such magic but I can at least help."
[Wed May 21 20:11:42 2014] : Miriam: "Crystak balls? Do they really work?"
[Wed May 21 20:12:12 2014] : Vaddyn: "I am not sure how reliable they are, but it wouldn't hurt to try"
[Wed May 21 20:12:50 2014] : Miriam: "I only know them from carnivals: You'll meet a dark stranger. You'll make a voyage over water."
[Wed May 21 20:13:44 2014] : Artur: "There is at least some real merit behind them."
[Wed May 21 20:14:01 2014] : Vaddyn: "Many things happen in carnivals, most are intended to separate you from your money."
[Wed May 21 20:14:46 2014] : Artur: "To Tomasz, then?"
[Wed May 21 20:15:12 2014] : Miriam: "Better him than a carnival sooth sayer"
[Wed May 21 20:15:29 2014] : Vaddyn: "Aye"
[Wed May 21 20:15:45 2014] : DM: You all return to the castle and Thomaz's chambers.
[Wed May 21 20:16:00 2014] : Hildy: "Given 30 minutes to pray for the power to do so, and then to make the request, I could ask Domestos for guidance"
[Wed May 21 20:16:17 2014] : Thomaz: "Good morning", he says looking up from his cluttered desk.
[Wed May 21 20:16:30 2014] : Miriam: "Morning, Thomaz"
[Wed May 21 20:16:44 2014] : Artur: "We would appreciate your assistance."
[Wed May 21 20:16:55 2014] : Thomaz: "These artifacts you returned are fascinating. I'm sure I'll be able to present a paper on them at the Symposium."
[Wed May 21 20:16:56 2014] : Vaddyn: "Lats see what Thomaz can some up with first Hildy"
[Wed May 21 20:17:07 2014] : Vaddyn: "We're glad you found them interesting"
[Wed May 21 20:17:11 2014] : Thomaz: "For you, anything. Well, anything with in reason and the law..."
[Wed May 21 20:17:39 2014] : Vaddyn: "We're trying to find some people"
[Wed May 21 20:18:16 2014] : Vaddyn: "and I thought maybe you would be able to find some trace of them using your crystal ball"
[Wed May 21 20:18:24 2014] : Thomaz: "Oh? You need me to scry for them? Do you have anything of theirs?"
[Wed May 21 20:18:52 2014] : Vaddyn: "You need something belonging to them?"
[Wed May 21 20:19:16 2014] : Vaddyn: "That could be a problem"
[Wed May 21 20:19:31 2014] : Artur: "They are fugitives from justice, and we hunt them."
[Wed May 21 20:19:38 2014] : Artur: "Do not look at me like that!"
[Wed May 21 20:19:41 2014] : Thomaz: "A good description might suffice at a pinch but I won't be able to get a good fix."
[Wed May 21 20:19:58 2014] : Vaddyn: "At the moment anything would be useful"
[Wed May 21 20:20:09 2014] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn hands over the dossier
[Wed May 21 20:21:00 2014] : Thomaz: Thomaz rummages through his drawers and pulls up his crystal ball, sweeping papers aside he places on his desk.
[Wed May 21 20:21:22 2014] : Thomaz: He studies the dossier and then leans over the crystal, concentrating.
[Wed May 21 20:22:34 2014] : Thomaz: He frowns, a bead of sweat appears on his brown, he leans closer, concentrating intensely.
[Wed May 21 20:23:01 2014] : Thomaz: After a moment he pulls away, a grabs a handkerchief, mopping his brow.
[Wed May 21 20:23:08 2014] : Vaddyn: "Are you ok?"
[Wed May 21 20:23:15 2014] : Miriam: Miriam stares into the crystal ball, intrigued
[Wed May 21 20:23:33 2014] : Thomaz: "Phew, that was not easy, there's something... odd with the planar boundaries today."
[Wed May 21 20:23:46 2014] : Vaddyn: Knowledge Planes: [1d20(12) + 9] = 21
[Wed May 21 20:23:55 2014] : Vaddyn: "How so?"
[Wed May 21 20:24:27 2014] : Artur: Knowledge: The Planes: [1d20(17) + 18] = 35
[Wed May 21 20:24:29 2014] : Thomaz: "I think your quarry is located in the woods south of Fort Buckler."
[Wed May 21 20:25:28 2014] : whispering to Vaddyn, Artur, Scrying is achieved by sending ones conciousness through the astral plane and "peering" through to the material.
[Wed May 21 20:25:43 2014] : Artur: "Thank you. No closer information? Anything would help."
[Wed May 21 20:26:14 2014] : Artur: "And what could be interfering with the astral plane? Perhaps... perhaps it is only these people."
[Wed May 21 20:26:15 2014] : whispering to Artur, A powerful extraplaner may be in the local area and interferring or the bounaries may be weakening or in flux.
[Wed May 21 20:27:08 2014] : Thomaz: "No... I am reluctant to try further until I know what is different about the Astral plane today.
[Wed May 21 20:27:46 2014] : Thomaz: "It has made me uneasy."
[Wed May 21 20:28:54 2014] : Artur: "Then, perhaps, we will tell you if we find any evidence."
[Wed May 21 20:28:57 2014] : Miriam: "Perhaps we should wait before riding out."
[Wed May 21 20:29:33 2014] : Miriam: "On the other hand ... I'm not that patient"
[Wed May 21 20:29:35 2014] : Artur: "Perhaps so, but our quarry could move."
[Wed May 21 20:30:00 2014] : Thomaz: "If you see anything... unusual... please let me know."
[Wed May 21 20:30:09 2014] : Artur: "We will."
[Wed May 21 20:31:01 2014] : Artur: ooc everyone ready to ride?
[Wed May 21 20:31:25 2014] : Miriam: ooc yep
[Wed May 21 20:31:31 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc aye
[Wed May 21 20:31:46 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc did we ever split the loot money?
[Wed May 21 20:32:57 2014] : Hildy: ooc nope - waiting on the lich crystal
[Wed May 21 20:33:09 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc ok
[Wed May 21 20:33:18 2014] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn mounts up
[Wed May 21 20:33:33 2014] : Hildy: Hildy mounts up with the others
[Wed May 21 20:33:51 2014] : Hildy: ooc I have no idea how much money I have!
[Wed May 21 20:34:19 2014] : Miriam: ooc I know what you mean
[Wed May 21 20:34:39 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc I'm not entirely sure either
[Wed May 21 20:35:17 2014] : Thomaz: You ride out of town, hooves clattering on the cobbled Military Road.
[Wed May 21 20:35:32 2014] : Miriam: ooc brb
[Wed May 21 20:36:56 2014] : Hildy: ooc I meant to send this earlier... Photo
[Wed May 21 20:37:24 2014] : Artur: ooc nice
[Wed May 21 20:37:43 2014] : DM: You pass Fort Cutlass in the early afternoon and press on. As the afternoon draws on, the sky darkens as storm clouds gather. Lightning flashes illuminate the growing gloom and thunder booms in the distance.
[Wed May 21 20:37:51 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc nice
[Wed May 21 20:37:57 2014] : Hildy: ooc happier with the brown ones on the right than with the others on the left that I did 2 years ago
[Wed May 21 20:38:54 2014] : DM: The rain starts to fall, heavy drops soaking into the dusty ground.
[Wed May 21 20:38:58 2014] : Hildy: "This weather is a bit choice"
[Wed May 21 20:39:10 2014] : Artur: "I would prefer something hotter and drier."
[Wed May 21 20:40:08 2014] : DM: The closest watch tower is suddenly silhouetted against the dark sky by a flash of lightning. Thunder cracks and rumbles, the sound fading into the pounding of hooves from behind.
[Wed May 21 20:40:26 2014] : Artur: "Riders behind!"
[Wed May 21 20:40:34 2014] : Artur: Artur turns to see
[Wed May 21 20:40:41 2014] : Vaddyn: "Have they seen us?"
[Wed May 21 20:41:38 2014] : Hildy: "This sounds familiar"
[Wed May 21 20:41:40 2014] : DM: You turn. A horse man approaches, cloaked in black. The steed black as night, hooves thudding and sparking against the clobbles. Flames and smoke curl from the nightmare horse as it thunders closer.
[Wed May 21 20:42:09 2014] : Hildy: "Ai... Ai... A monster is come!"
[Wed May 21 20:42:21 2014] : DM: Black forms follow, hounds snarling and yapping, eyes red and malevolent.
[Wed May 21 20:42:26 2014] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn urgently veers to the side of the path
[Wed May 21 20:42:42 2014] : Artur: "The astral plane? But no. Something else."
[Wed May 21 20:42:55 2014] : Artur: Artur tries to leave the road.
[Wed May 21 20:43:21 2014] : Hildy: Hildy dismounts to put his feet on the ground
[Wed May 21 20:43:39 2014] : Hildy: Then hastily lashes his horse to a tree
[Wed May 21 20:43:59 2014] : DM: The horse rider thunders past, turning to look as it passes, you see its face; cold, glowing blue eyes in a pale white skull.
[Wed May 21 20:44:16 2014] : Miriam: ooc Nice bit of work, Craig :)
[Wed May 21 20:44:47 2014] : DM: The racing, leaping slavering hounds turn on your as the rider gallops away.
[Wed May 21 20:44:50 2014] : DM: Roll initiative.
[Wed May 21 20:45:00 2014] : Vaddyn: Initiative: [1d20(13) + 5] = 18

[Wed May 21 21:32:47 2014] : whispering to Vaddyn, There are old tales of a black horse and rider galloping across the land in times of trouble.
[Wed May 21 21:32:53 2014] : Artur: "Thank you"
[Wed May 21 21:33:26 2014] : whispering to Artur, Stories say the Dark Rider gathers souls of the wicked to join his cavalcade through the sky.
[Wed May 21 21:33:42 2014] : Vaddyn: "I think I've heard stories of this figure. Usually associated with troubled times"
[Wed May 21 21:33:49 2014] : Hildy: Hildy mounts up
[Wed May 21 21:33:56 2014] : Hildy: "Good or bad?"
[Wed May 21 21:34:09 2014] : Artur: "They say he gathers souls of the wicked to join his hunt."
[Wed May 21 21:34:10 2014] : whispering to Vaddyn, The rider is said to bring death in its wake.
[Wed May 21 21:34:12 2014] : Miriam: "Who and what is he?"
[Wed May 21 21:34:48 2014] : Vaddyn: "Some say his only gift is of death"
[Wed May 21 21:35:50 2014] : Vaddyn: "Who is he is, is unknown"
[Wed May 21 21:36:24 2014] : Hildy: "He sounds like an immortal being"
[Wed May 21 21:36:26 2014] : Vaddyn: "I dont think anyone who get close enough to ask loved to tell the tale"
[Wed May 21 21:36:33 2014] : Vaddyn: *lived
[Wed May 21 21:37:38 2014] : Vaddyn: "Quite possibly. Many stories are so old their origins are lost"
[Wed May 21 21:37:50 2014] : whispering to Hildy, You recall a long forgotten religion from the wilder places of Prazka, The Lady of the Hunt, said to be cloaked in black always upon her black steed, Nightmare.
[Wed May 21 21:37:51 2014] : Artur: "Should we avoid him or not?"
[Wed May 21 21:37:55 2014] : Miriam: "But why would his hounds try to attack us? We're not wicked, are we?"
[Wed May 21 21:38:10 2014] : Miriam: Miriam glances at Artur
[Wed May 21 21:38:19 2014] : Artur: "We are not wicked that I know."
[Wed May 21 21:39:11 2014] : Vaddyn: "I have a feeling we will encounter him again."
[Wed May 21 21:39:42 2014] : Artur: "Perhaps so. But now? We ride on."
[Wed May 21 21:39:50 2014] : Hildy: "Now that I think about it, it does ring a bell"
[Wed May 21 21:40:01 2014] : Hildy: "The Lady of the Hunt..."
[Wed May 21 21:40:33 2014] : Hildy: "From out of the wilds, riding her black steed, Nightmare"
[Wed May 21 21:40:55 2014] : Miriam: "A lady?"
[Wed May 21 21:40:57 2014] : Vaddyn: "Yes, yes. "
[Wed May 21 21:41:18 2014] : Hildy: "A goddess perhaps"
[Wed May 21 21:41:32 2014] : Hildy: "An patroness of an old religion"
[Wed May 21 21:41:33 2014] : Artur: "Not something we want to challenge today."
[Wed May 21 21:42:13 2014] : Hildy: "I'd say not!"
[Wed May 21 21:42:22 2014] : Miriam: "Let's hope she's not too angry at us killing her hounds"
[Wed May 21 21:42:36 2014] : Hildy: "I'm not sure that they were hers"
[Wed May 21 21:43:50 2014] : Hildy: "But anyway, let us fulfil our obligations in relation to the bandits"
[Wed May 21 21:43:55 2014] : Miriam: "It sure looked like they might be the wicked souls gathered to join her hunt"
[Wed May 21 21:44:00 2014] : Hildy: Hildy spurs on
[Wed May 21 21:44:15 2014] : Miriam: Miriam follows
[Wed May 21 21:44:21 2014] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn mounts up again and follows
[Wed May 21 21:45:02 2014] : DM: You ride on through the storm, reaching the next watchtower, wet and bedraggled.
[Wed May 21 21:45:34 2014] : DM: The inside is cozy and warm, the thick walls and blazing fire are welcoming.

[Wed May 21 21:48:04 2014] : Artur: It doesn't have to be anything yet; could be foreshadowing
[Wed May 21 21:48:31 2014] : Miriam: Just a bit of flavour is nice already :)
[Wed May 21 21:48:45 2014] : Vaddyn: Well at the very least I'm pretty sure none of us were expecting that encounter
