Tala: Ok, this is where we were last week...

Magical light from multiple sources floods this room. Standing in the center of the room is a sturdy wooden table. A wild eyed man bound hand and foot to the table cries desperately for aid. A thin, menacing man with deepp-set eyes glares at you from teh far side of the table. he grips a sharp knife in his hand. Two gaunt figures with razor fingers stand by his side.

Stuart (Toothpick): Initiative ?

Ro: can put the screaming man to sleep since he's annoying?

Evil GM: Yes please

-> ro: on your turn, yes

Aikira: Ok, initiative order goes: Tala, NPCs, Rand, Toryn, Toothpick, Aikira, Ro

Evil GM: Tala is going to hold action, NPCs hold action, Rand is AFK, Toryn is up first

Toryn: Advancing menacingly across the room towards a ghoul Toryn snaps " We've destroyed your ghouls, your cultists, and those other monstrosities you created - surrender now and we'll allow you to live - but not these poor things that you've ripped from the grave " Toryn ends with a swipe (lethal attack) at a ghoul with his sword

Evil GM: Your intimidate seems to have no effect on the ghouls, they stand beside the man, unstaring and unblinking, awaiting orders.

Evil GM: Your intimidate also seems to have no effect on the man standing on the opposite side of the table.

Evil GM: And your hit fails

Toothpick: Move 20 feet and fire crossbow (readied previous turn) at the tall gaunt man

Evil GM: Hit fails

Charges into the room at the creature to the left of the gaunt man

Aikira: Bah, Aikira charges

With a mighty chop, Aikira hacks into the "ghoul"

Kenny (Ro): is that man on the table still screaming?

Evil GM: Yes

Ro: can i try to put the guy behind the table to sleep?

-> ro: yes

Ro starts singing

Ro: u gotta make the roll, right? hehe

-> ro: yes, what's the DC?

The man continues to scream

Tala readies her bow

Stuart (Toothpick): Bard Song ?

Ro: 15 iirc but not in FG nor on my player thing

-> ro: got it...the guy still resisted

Kenny (Ro): his screaming was not the bard song lol

Stuart (Toothpick): lol

Mordiggian: How dare you enter the sancutary of my surgery!

Mordiggian: Moltor shall not be pleased with your intrusion into his sacred hallow, nor will his servant Abraxes!

Mordiggian: Chirurgeons! Kill them!

Rand moves 20 feet and sees he can't do much, so he bestows the graces of Druzzil on Aikira and gives him Courage (+1ac +3hp)

Toryn (Toryn): do Toryn and Aikira get flanking bonuses in this position?

Petra (Mordiggian): Yes

Toryn: " Return to the grave from which you were wrested! ' shouts Toryn swinging his longsword

Mordiggian: You hit, give me damage

Toothpick: Fires crossbow atthe leader.

Evil GM: You hit, give me damage

Aikira swings at the creature again

Aikira makes a solid hit as the creature sinks to the ground, the life that animated it gone.

Kenny (Ro): do i get upto the leader or no2?

Petra (Aikira): Yes, he's within move range

Ro runs up to the leader swinging her big axe trying to hit him in the head

Aikira: You hit, give me damage

Vincent (Rand): you gotta check you dice Kenny... it seems they have only 19/20 and 1 on there...

Tala takes aim at the gaunt man and fires an arrow

Kenny (Ro): yeah :P

Tala the arrow hits with a thud

A chirurgeon shambles up to the dwarf, swinging it's razor claws at his head

A chirurgeon swipes at the dwarf's cheek, striking (6 dmg)

Rand charges the ghoul that is attacking Toothpick, swinging his mace

A chirurgeon: Give me an attack roll

Evil GM: You hit, give me damage

Rand: [1d8 = 8]

Rand swings, hitting the creature in the gut with his mace with a loud "thud"

Toryn (Toryn): flanking bonuses towards the foellow in the middle of all of us

Toryn (Toryn): sorry I mean that was a question

Evil GM: If you move to his other side, right now you and Ro are both on the same side

Evil GM: That would be a hit

Toryn: possibly crit actually ;)

Evil GM: That was my next question

Toryn (Toryn): if 2nd attack roll is successful it's a crit, otherwise no

Evil GM: right

Evil GM: and it's succesful

Toryn (Toryn): also I forgot to mention Ro threatened a critical hit on her "20" earlier on

Toryn (Toryn): e.g, the 20 she rolled

Evil GM: give me damage

Rand: LOL

Toryn (Toryn): sorry - total of 17 damage I think

Toryn (Toryn): Ro remember on a "20" roll roll again and if your 2nd attack roll is successful you get to roll twice for damage

Before the gaunt man behind the surgery table can move, he is cut almost in half. Dead beyond repair.

Kenny (Ro): i had a 19 + 1 :)

Toryn: " I warned you to surrender foul servant of evil ! " snarls Toryn

Toryn: " Damn ! "

Toryn: " Now we can't question him - I'm such an idiot ! "

Aikira growls

Ro smiles at Toryn

Aikira: I didn't even get to hit him!

Aikira runs over to the other creature and swings

Aikira hits hard, sinking his sword into the creature

Kenny (Ro): the man still screaming?

Evil GM: yup

Ro: can i sing him to sleep?

-> ro: yup

Ro starts to softly run her hand over the head of the man lying on the table while singing

The man looks up and doesn't seem to hear the melody of the song. He sees another monster and starts screaming louder

Ro rolls her eyes

Ro: my turn over? or can i punch him out? lol

Tala lowers her bow and waits for the others to finish the creature off

-> ro: yup

A chirurgeon swings at Toothpick again

Stuart (Toothpick): I have missed a turn ?

A chirurgeon misses, but manages to swipe a piece of Toothpicks beard from his chin

Petra (A chirurgeon): no

Rand swings his mace again intending to kill that foul thing

Petra (A chirurgeon): Just an FYI...Bard songs in the EQd20 system are usually single targets. The determental songs go against the victim's will save unless a caster check is called for

Evil GM: Miss

Toothpick: Yes - Rand has gone twice ... missing me out ?

-> toothpick: don't think i did...and if I did, I apologize

Evil GM: You hit, give me damage

Toryn (Toryn): sorry was changing a poopy diaper ! will act after toothpick if that's ok

The jigsaw puzzle of body parts tumbles to the ground, lifeless.

Toryn: " Rand, we need your assistance here ! " shouts Toryn going to the screaming man to check for injuries

Rand walks up to the man and asks Druzzil to heal his wounds

Ro: he still screaming?

Toryn (Toryn): Toryn checks to see what kind of wounds he has - poison, how severe, et cet

-> ro: yes

Toothpick searches the bodies.

Rand then turns to toothpick and asks Druzzil to heal his wounds as well

Evil GM: Give me a heal check Toryn

Toryn (Toryn): see above ;)

Vincent (Rand): Tooth, 10 more hp for you

Villager Bob: Get away from me, get away from me!

Evil GM: Sorry, you're ahead of me. ;-)

Ro tries to soot the man saying,' ssshhh iz ok' while running her hand over his forehead softly

Rand starts helping Toryn in inspecting the wounds

Toothpick: Thank you laddie - that was close.

Evil GM: The man is missing his right arm, several fingers and toes on his left (he's naked). His face is crisscrossed with slash marks as is the rest of his body. In several places his flesh has been flayed off.

Toryn: " Dear lord " murmurs Toryn " No wonder he's afraid "

Toryn (Toryn): Toryn applies first aid as best as he can

Evil GM: Rand manages to heal some of the wounds, but damage has been done almost beyond the repair of anyone's knowledge here

Toothpick stands up from the bodies, looks at the carnage and returns to the room with the cages.

Toryn: " Any clues on the bodies ? " asks Toryn looking at Toothpick - " Unholy symbols or the like ? "

Toothpick shrugs ...

Rand starts rummaging in his backpack, grabbing herbs and water to make a potion for the man so his pains will get lessened

Toothpick: Are there ?

Evil GM: No unholy symbols, but he's disected to the point that he looks like he was being farmed for body parts

-> toothpick: sorry, chaos here in the house

Toothpick: np

Toryn: " My friend we are here from Brighthaven to rescue you - rest easy " soothes Toryn... " We shall free you from your bonds"

-> toothpick: what are you going to do in that room?

Toothpick: There were cages with people inside ?

-> toothpick: yes...the first holds a woman. The second is empty, the third and fourth hold men

Villager Bob struggles in his bonds

Rand hands a simple potion to the man... "it doesn't smell well, but will make your pains less"

Villager Bob but seems to listen to Toryn somewhat

Villager Bob stares up at Rand

Villager Bob: Why should I trust you after what HE was doing to me?

Ro says 'he ded'

Toothpick: Will talk to people, use Sense Motive and then free them after finding out who they are etc. No hurry ... deal with the others.

Tala follows Toothpick into the other room to watch with curiosity

Rand: No idea, maybe because all those slashes must hurt? and maybe because i wear white?

-> toothpick: k, who are you going to try to talk to first?

Toryn: Toryn smiles ... " Aside from the fact we have slain your tormentor and healed your wounds? Here's another reason - Toothpick have you any skill at picking locks? We need to free this man"

Evil GM: The bonds on the table are merely leather straps

Toothpick: One of the men : Who are you, why are you here - and then release him but will keep crossbow loaded.

Villager Bob: Just because you killed them, doesn't mean you didn't come with a worser evil

Toryn: " My friend I am Toryn of the Knights of Order, in service to Mithaniel Marr , a god known for his dedication to truth, valor, and the forces of light "

Toryn (Toryn): evil GM another diplomacy check in addition to the "15" I rolled above

-> toothpick: The man addressed cowers in the back of his cage and he stammers "The..the..they took me"

Villager Bob visiably relaxes in his bonds

Toothpick: Oops

Stuart (Toothpick): Sorry folks.

Ro tries to profile herself,' MEEH RO'

Villager Bob looks over at Ro and starts screaming again

Toryn: "I'm going to cut you loose" soothes Toryn, " don't be afraid"

Ro looks at Toryn wondering what she done wrong

Toryn: Toryn uses his sword to cut the villager free

Rand: Relax, Ro was a prisoner of the ORcs and we freed her... she doesn't speak common, but is friendly in nature (unless you don't share your food)

Villager Bob: KILL THAT MONSTER!!!!

Ro: meeh no monzder

Toryn: " She was being held captive my her own people my friend" soothes Toryn as he cuts the villager's bonds, " She is a traitor to her own people and thus an ally of ours "

Ro starts to sob

Villager Bob quiets down at Toryn's words, but still whimpers and shakes

Rand walks to Ro trying to comfort her

Toryn: Toryn reaches close enough to Ro to hug her briefly then continues to free Bob

Toothpick: Do you know "who" they are or why you are here ? Then release the man and indicate the exit route that I am guessing the others have cleared.

Rand: Ro is quite a singer... she sang the warrior over there to sleep at some point

Ro pushes Rand away,' me monzder! go waay!'

Rand: No... you're not a monster, you are actually quite pretty

Ro hugs Toryn back

-> toothpick: N,n,no..the black robes guarded us and beat us but said nothing on why they caught us

Toryn: " Now my friend" says Toryn as he frees the villager - " What is your name anyways if you don't mind me asking? "

Villager Bob: Bob

Toryn: " Bob, we shall escort you to Brighthaven soon under our protection - but first we need to know all we can about the beings who captured you in order to better fight, and defeat them "

Toothpick: Hmmm "black robes" ... pick the lock and let him go, ask similar questions to the others and let 'em go.

Toryn: " I know this is painful for you but please - tell us everything that happened - we're looking for clues here, even the smallest one could be crucial"

-> toothpick: the second man opens his mouth and you can see he has no tounge

Kenny (Ro): had to check if Ro can follow a bit what is going on :P

Villager Bob winces as his bonds are loosened

Villager Bob I don't know much. I was in my garden one moment, the next I was here, strapped to this table. Mordiggin woke me up and told me that my pain would glorify Moltor.

-> toothpick: for the cage with the woman...roll init

Toryn: " Well we have a name at least, Mordiggin and we thank you for that - damn I should have knocked that bastard unconscious ! (forgive me for my language Mithanieal Marr) .. we could have interrogated the scum - and then we would have let you torture him to death Bob "

-> toothpick: the woman cowers in the corner, her greasy, straggely hair bald in patches and hanging over her face. When you open the door to the cage, she jumps at you and you can smell the rot of ghoul. (you win init btw)

Rand: Shame that he would have loved to be tortured

Villager Bob: When..when that creature started chopping off body parts....he gloated and prided in telling me how I was going to become part of one of those creatures. (points at the bodies of the creatures with the razor claws laying on the groung)

Rand shudders

-> toothpick: you hit

Toryn: " Unbelievable ! Well in the afterlife Mithaniel Marr shall punish him, this Moltor won't be able to save his soul - Bob, please come with us - we're going to free your fellow prisoners "

Rand starts examining the corpse, looking at the physiology with great interest

Toryn: " Toothpick what in the name of Marr are you firing at ?!? "

Toothpick: A wee bit o' target practice .... dinnae ye worry !

Toryn: Toryn draws his sword and runs up to investigate

-> toothpick: the ghoul swings at you with her bare claws, just missing

Evil GM: When you get into the room with the cages Toryn, you smell the rot of ghoul

Toryn (Toryn): does Toryn see any ghouls or other monsters?

Kenny (Ro): any interesting in the room where the namer was actually?

Evil GM: Sec, let me get the map set up for what you see

Toothpick slams door shut with his feet and sits on the floor with his feet braced against the cage door and calmly reloads and fires at the woman.

Toryn: " More ghouls - charge my fellow warriors ! " Toryn shouts to the others , rushing into the room

Toryn (Toryn): how many squares can I move in a single action?

Evil GM: What you see as you charge into the room is a ghoul in the cage, toothpick firing through the cage door. The ghoul still appears as a woman, albait rotted

A ghoul slashes through the cage at Toothpick's feet

A ghoul misses

Tala watches Toothpick fight the ghoul

Toryn (Toryn): evil GM a square is five feet?

Ro: lol does Toothpick have arrows in the open?

Petra (Tala): more or less yes

Kenny (Ro): wow

Toothpick: Crossbow (light)

Tala: You hit, give me damage

Toothpick: Ack ... ya wee beastie .... bugger off !

Tala: toryn, roll init

-> ro: dunno, ask

Ro: do i see anything throwable?

Rand decides to watch this fight

Toryn (Toryn): that's the farthest I can go though (movement range of 20 feet)

Evil GM: K..

-> ro: there's rocks on the ground

A ghoul slashes at Toothpick again through the bars, barely missing

Ro: can i use magehand to make em hit the ghoul?

-> ro: not with force that would do damage

Stuart (Toothpick): :-(

Ro: oh ok

Toryn: " Be right there Toothpick" shouts Toryn clanking along in his armor (that's the farthest he can move) " ... " Everyone else, to Toothpick's aid ! "

Rand: Why, he has it covered... let him have his target practise

Toryn: " The ghoul is reaching through the bars to swipe at Toothpick's feet" shouts Toryn " She's still a threat ! "

A ghoul hissing, the ghoul swipes at Toothpick's feet again, missing

Toryn: " Aikira we could use you here ! "

Rand helps Toothpick a bit by asking for courage to be bestowed on him

A ghoul sinks to the ground with a hiss as another bolt shoots into her flesh. The unlife bleeds out of her.

Vincent (Rand): add 1ac and 3hp for 20 min Tooth

Toryn: " Never mind " says Toryn ebmarassed

Toryn: embarassed

Tala: I'm impressed...takling on a ghoul all by your lonesome

Toothpick: Och ... it was in a cage.

Tala: The brave darkie couldn't even do that...

Toothpick: Did ye find anything oot o' that poor man in there ?

Toryn: Toryn gives Tala a puzzled look " Still, you have a bow you could have helped the dwarf - do you have something against Toothpick ? "

Tala looks sideways at Toryn

Toothpick: Och leave the lassie alone ... I was having a bit o' fun. Its nae bother.

Tala: Not at all, he had it covered.

Toryn: " Nothing of important unfortunately " says Toryn "I was so enraged at what he did to that poor villager I acted without thinking - should have taken him alive damn it "

Toryn: Toryn carefully inspects the other prisoners in the cages to see if they're ghouls or some other form of monster too

Tala: Yea, way to go there

Rand: Was there any other clue in there, secret doors etc?

Toryn (Toryn): evil GM you said there were villagers in the other 3 cages too last game session

Rand: I am getting into this "adventure" bussiness... weeeeeee

Tala: Actually, Toothpick let the other villagers go while you were fussing over the gimp in the other room

Evil GM: Toothpick let them go while you were talking to the villager

Toothpick: They had nothing to say ... one in particular on account of the lack of tongue

Toryn: Toryn shakes his head .... " I appreciate you doing that Toothpick but I don't like the idea of them wandering through the woods without our protection"

Stuart (Toothpick): BRB ... son bed go now ... rearrange to fit !

Toryn (Toryn): are the doors to the cages locked evil GM?

Tala: Nope

Evil GM: Er, nope...Toothpick had opened them to release the prisoners

Toryn: Holding his breath with a look of disgust on his face Toryn goes in with a stick poking around and investigating through the muck

Evil GM: give me a search roll

Toryn: " Bob ? " Toryn calls as he's searching

Villager Bob comes limping into the room

Evil GM: In one of the cages you find a filthy piece of paper

Toryn: " Don't leave us Bob - you're under our protection now and I don't want you in the woods outside by yourself, too dangerous - we'll take you back to brighthaven"

Villager Bob: Thank you

Toryn: Toryn examines the paper

Villager Bob: It would take me forever to hobble out of here

Stuart (Toothpick): Back

Evil GM: It's written in an extremely strange looking language and has symbols and glyphs you've never seen

Toryn: " You'll ride behind me on my horse Bob" reassures Toryn

Villager Bob nods

Tala: So, what now? So far we've managed to kill every single person we've captured to question..

Ro looks threatheningly at Villager bob still hurt by his words

Toryn: " Could the rest of you please take a look at this ? " says Toryn holding up the piece of paper

Toryn: " I'm fluent in written Common but this is beyond me "

Rand: I think we may have missed one more tunnel much earlier

Tala: Toryn and Rand, give me spellcraft rolls

Toryn (Toryn): Toryn doesn't have spellcraft yet

Evil GM: K..then just rand...

-> Rand: you reconize a glyph or two...it looks like necromancy of some kind

Rand: Hmm... this looks like a few necromancy symbols or glyphs, but i can't make head or tail from it

Toryn: " The superiors of my order in Freeport might be able to make more sense of it "

Tala shakes her head, don't reconize a word

Aikira: Neither do I

Villager Bob: I can't read

Toryn: Toryn gives everyone else an apologetic look " I'm not always as observant as I should be - I realize it's filthy in there but could the rest of you check the cages, see if there's anything important that I missed? bob you don't have to worry about it ... "

Toothpick shrugs.

Toothpick: Aye.

Toryn: " And we should examine the ghoul's body too "

Toothpick searches the cages.

Toryn: " See if it's carrying anything of interest"

Evil GM: Give me a search roll

Ro looks at it briefly before beeing bored again

-> toothpick: all you find is muck and human waste

Rand steps into Toryns cage and pokes around some

Toothpick: hurrah ! My favourite.

Toryn: " My apologies for the muck on your robes my friend I know how important cleanliness is to you - I assure you they'll be taken care of when we return to Brighthaven" assures Toryn (to Rand)

Rand: Hmmm... a necklace with the symbol of Bertoxulous on it. I bet you this neck piece belongs to some of these creeps

Toryn (Toryn): evil GM does Toryn know who Bertoxulous is from his paladin training?

Evil GM: Give me a knowledge religion roll

Evil GM: You've heard the name once or twice, but nothing in depth

Toryn: " I'm embarassed to say - speaking as a paladin - I don't know who that is ... some deity of evil no doubt" scowls Toryn

Vincent (Rand): ignore a few... hotkeys screwed up now

Rand starts to pray to Druzzil meditating and asking her to restore his magical powers

Toryn: " Hang on it to it if you could Rand, it bears further investigation - possibly magical investigation"

Toothpick: Should we not be moving on ? The sound of our battle could have alerted the Cultists ?

Tala calls from outside the room "Come this way!"

Rand moves out of the room

Toryn: Toryn follows

Tala: Do you want me to scout or Toothpick?

Toothpick loads up his crossbow and follows at a discrete distance.

Toryn: " Why not both of you ? Two pairs of eyes are better than one "

Toothpick shrugs.

Tala: Which way shall we go? The way we came or that way? (points up the tunnel they havent' gone yet)

Toothpick: Have we not been this way ?

Toryn: " We might as well explore where we haven't so far - there may be more prisoners to free "

Rand: Go that way... we haven't cleaned the tunnels yet of all the evil

Toothpick: I suggest this way ...

-> toothpick: listen roll

Toothpick moves ahead cautiously.

-> toothpick: as you sneak up the tunnel, you hear wierd scraping noises from the next chamber

Toothpick beckons for the others to pause.

Tala stops before stepping on Toothpick

Toothpick: Ssh ... noises up ahead ... wait here and let me have a wee look, keep the torch light low.

Toothpick heads up the corridor, clinging to the shadows.

-> toothpick: what are you going to do?

Toothpick: move up the corridor 30 feet or so and see wht I can see.

-> toothpick: The unfinished walls of this circular room are splashed with blood and gore. the sand on the ground is stained a deep crimson. A feeling of evil so deep you can almost taste it hangs in the air (even for those without detect evil). Launching themselves toward you are three gaunt figures with razor tipped fingers.

-> toothpick: ignore the last sentence, they haven't seen you yet

Toothpick: Thanks ... silently slink back to the others.

Ro: can i sneak up too? :P

-> ro: sure, give me a sneak roll

Toothpick: Predictably, more of the wee beasties ahead ... circular chamber ahead. Could not see any body else.

-> ro: you sneak up into the chamber and see blood and gore splashed on the wall...three of the jigsaw sewn togeather creatures are in the room shambling about

Toryn: " Understood - good eyes my friend "

Toothpick: Let me sneak up ... get into position and fire a couple o' bolts at the things and ten yous lot can charge to the rescue ?

Stuart (Toothpick): *then

Toryn: " Good plan - you stay hidden, fire off a few bolts, then we attack by surprise "

Toothpick nods.

Toryn: " Bob stay here, don't get anywhere near those things "

Toothpick: Aiming (pardon the pun) to get off 1 bolt with surprise and then the rest can charge in and cause mayhem !

Evil GM: Everyone is still "down the hall" btw...just moved up so we didn't lose tokens

Rand: Just wait here with me, i am going to pray to Druzzil anyways

-> toothpick: roll

-> toothpick: which one btw?

Vincent (Rand): i will wait just outside the room with BoB

Toothpick: The nearest

Toothpick takes careful aim at the head of the nearest creature ... and squeezes the trigger

Toothpick: Crossbow (light)

Evil GM: Anyone mind if we keep the same init order??

Stuart (Toothpick): Nope

Evil GM: You hit, give me damage

Toryn (Toryn): not a problem

Toothpick: In ya go lads !

Aikira charges into the room swinging

Toryn (Toryn): evil GM do these count as surprise attacks?

Ro runs into the room after Aikira swinging her huge axe

Kenny (Ro): i get there in one pull?

Evil GM: No

Evil GM: And no to Toryn

Evil GM: Ro -- from where you were in the hall you can get to there in one move or all the way up if you run...but you can't attack

Rand starts to pray to Druzzil meditating and asking her to restore his magical powers

Kenny (Ro): well i can't do more :P

Tala creeps up behind Toothpick

Tala: The Chirurgeon on the right shambles up to Ro in a very "automated" walk and swings

A Chirurgeon swings, catching ro on the cheek (6 points of damage)

The middle Chirurgeon shambles up and swipes at Ro

Ro: uuuuughhhh!

A Chirurgeon misses

The third chirgeon shambles up and swipes at ro

Rand gets out of his trance and does a quick heal at Ro, then quickly bestows Courage on her

Vincent (Rand): Ro, add 5hp heal and 3hp 1ac as buff

Toryn: " Ro get out of there ! " shouts Toryn concernedly , " Aikira, take the creature on the right ! " ... with a growl Toryn charges at this creature

Toryn (Toryn): +2 on Toryn's attack roll but Toryn is -2 to his AC or you could just say +2 to be hit on his next attack

Rand starts to pray to Druzzil meditating and asking her to restore his magical powers

Evil GM: fails

Toryn (Toryn): and I hate to point this out but all 3 creatures probably have +2 flanking bonuses on Ro on their attack rolls

Evil GM: Thanks for pointing it out ;-)

Toryn (Toryn): evil GM does Toothpick get a flanking bonus on his ghoul given the position of Toryn and Ro ?

Toothpick moves swiftly in and attacks the nearest creature with his sword.

Evil GM: Yes

Toryn (Toryn): Toothpick add plus two to your attack roll

Evil GM: You hit, give me damage

With a slash, Toothpick flays off some hide that covers the construct's leg

Evil GM: Roll Toryn

Evil GM: And yes, you get flanking so that's a total of 14...you hit

Rand gets up out of his trance and starts grabbing his Mace, totally caught off guard

Evil GM: Rand is going now since I conviently forgot him

Toothpick swings his sword at the creature.

Evil GM: Miss

Stuart (Toothpick): :-(

Toryn (Toryn): don't forget your plus two flanking bonus toothpick ;)

Evil GM: nevermind...hit

Evil GM: forgot the flanking too

Stuart (Toothpick): I doubt I flank ... only one of us can flank surely ?

Stuart (Toothpick): Just in case ;-)

Stuart (Toothpick): Aarrghhh +2 from Str as well.

Evil GM: Yes, you flank...in the EQ system it seems it doesn't matter as long as you have an ally across from you

Toryn (Toryn): no actually from what I understand more than one PC can flank

Stuart (Toothpick): OK ... 8 points of damage.

The construct crumbles into a heap of rotting body parts

Toothpick moves swiftly round to slice one of the creatures across the knees.

Stuart (Toothpick): or not ...

Evil GM: Miss

Aikira slashes at the remaining construct

Aikira and misses

Toryn (Toryn): would a plus 2 flanking bonus help Aikira ?

Kenny (Ro): meeeh i should trademark that

Tala lowers her bow, letting the others kill it

A Chirurgeon slashes Ro's face again (3pts of damage)

Rand swings his mace at the monster

Toryn (Toryn): isnt' that one destroyed already ?

Vincent (Rand): not according to the map

A Chirurgeon: You hit, give me damage

Evil GM: Sorry, that one was destroyed...

Vincent (Rand): nm, it was, but not removed... redoing actions

Evil GM: I just crushed poor Vince's ego

Rand puts his mace back and sits down to continue his prayers and meditation

Toryn: " You'll pay for harming her fiend ! " shouts Toryn, closing to attack

Evil GM: You hit, give me damage

Evil GM: The construct collapses in a pile of random body parts, hide, and twine

Toryn: " Rand we need you ! " shouts Toryn rushing to Ro and examining her face

And now that everyone gets to observe the room...

Rand: who all got hurt... just me and Ro i think right?

Evil GM: The unfinished walls of this circular room are splashed with blood and gore. the sand on the ground is stained a deep crimson. A feeling of evil so deep you can almost taste it hangs in the air (even for those without detect evil). Launching themselves toward you are three gaunt figures with razor tipped fingers.

Evil GM: Minus the last sentence because they're dead

Stuart (Toothpick): lol

Rand uses his last bit of magical powers to heal Ro and himself...

Vincent (Rand): Ro, add 9hp heal

Vincent (Rand): i add 10hp heal

Toothpick moves to one of the tunnels and listens.

-> toothpick: down the first tunnel you hear distant voices, can't make out what they're saying

-> toothpick: the second tunnel you hear nothing

Toothpick: ok

Toothpick: Hush people ... voices down the left tunnel.

Tala wanders down the tunnel Toothpick was just in

Toothpick frowns as Tala heads off.

Toothpick: Weesht lassie ! Where are ye going ?

-> toothpick: She's crouched against the wall when you catch up to her, listening intently

Toothpick watches Tala intently.

Toothpick (whispers): What can ye hear lassie ?

Tala (whispering): There's a prayer service going on up there

Toothpick returns to the others.

Tala sneaks back to the others as well

Toothpick: Och ... lads ...I think we have a ceremony going on ... do ye fancy gate crashing a party ?

Toothpick grins.

Tala: Hey guys, I think I just found some more devotees of pain up there

Tala looks at Aikira

Tala: I think if you ask nicely, they'd show you the pleasure of pain..

Aikira growls

Toryn: " Tala, Toothpick - perhaps you should sneak in, pick as many off as you can with your bows? "

Tala: Sounds good to me (puts an arrow into her bow)

Vincent (Rand): 2 mana left, 1 heal, that is it

Toothpick: Aye ... I guess we can try ... are ye ready lassie ?

Tala nods

Tala: Born ready

Toothpick loooks at Tala and carefully loads his bow.

Toothpick: cautiously heads up the tunnel.

Stuart (Toothpick): Ack

Toothpick cautiously heads up the tunnel.

Rand stays back, hoping Druzzil will fill his mana up real fast :)

Evil GM: Everyone else is still down in the chamber for now..

Toothpick: stay behind me lassie ... I've a few tricks yet.

Toothpick reaches into one of his pouches and quietly rolls some mrbles on the ground in front of him.

Stuart (Toothpick): *marbles.

Tala crouches, ready behind Toothpick

Toothpick carefully places 2 spare bolts to his side.

Toothpick takes carefull aim, slows his breathing and on a half exhale ... squeezes off th trigger action.

Stuart (Toothpick): *the

Stuart (Toothpick): Roll to hit ?

Petra (Tala): Yup

Toothpick quickly reloads "old faithful".

Kenny (Ro): lol

The cultist crumbles to the ground, dead

Stuart (Toothpick): Yay !

Kenny (Ro): btw if u press alt while typing its ayto ooc

Tala (whispers): we need to keep one alive and try (stresses try) to succesfully question it

Toothpick: Hmm ... too easy ... too easy.

Toothpick nods.

-> toothpick: btw, this is what toothpick and tala sees --- The walls of this roughly hewn cavern are covered in softly glowing fungus. At the back of the room stands a stone altar. The altar is bathed in blood, and the sand before it is stained almost black. Four human supplicants kneel before it, chanting softly.

Vincent (Rand): okay

Toothpick: yuk

Vincent (Rand): Only need to press alt on enter thoug

Kenny (Ro): ctrl is act

Vincent (Rand): And CTRL is an emote

Tala Tala takes aim at another cultist (2) and fires her bow

The cultist falls down, gravely wounded as the arrow hits his chest

Ro: can i sneak up to them? i mean to Tooth and Tala?

Toothpick: I don't think your players need any tips from me ! lol

Vincent (Rand): combinations of ctrl, alt and shift work too... so many more hotkey bars

-> toothpick: lol... roll attack again. The cultists didn't notice their buddies going down

Vincent (Rand): so 8 hotkey bars in total

Toothpick aims and releases the bow string in one fluid movement.

Tala: The two cultists that are still in good health turn around as the arrow thunks into the alter infront of them

-> toothpick: roll init

-> toothpick: them, you, tala with a whopping 1

Toothpick: good job I spread some marbles on the floor ... Dex roll to attack us ?

The cultists turn around at the invaders into their holy sanctuary and start singing

-> toothpick,: yes

Toothpick

Toothpick fires "Old Faithful" again.

A cultist: You hit, give me damage

Toothpick: [1d6 = 3]

Evil GM: number 4 I take it?

Stuart (Toothpick): Nope - rolled for a critical and failed.

Stuart (Toothpick): 3 points of damage.

Evil GM: To #4 though?

Stuart (Toothpick): Yes please.

Evil GM the arrow hits the cultist to the right, and he sings louder in pleasure

Petra (Evil GM): stupid cat

Tala moves up slightly and fires her arrow

Tala misses

A cultist you, you invaders to our private and most holy place, you violate the sanctuaty of Moltor's shrine

Stuart (Toothpick): Does anybody else in the group have missile weapons ?

Kenny (Ro): acid

A cultist: How dare you violate a place so holy

-> toothpick: do you remember what the DC for the marbles are?

A cultist in unison the cultists pull daggers from the sleeves of their robes

Toothpick: Balance DC 12 I thin

Petra (A cultist): miss

Tala tries firing again

Tala hits the cultist to the right (6pts) and he falls down dead in his tracks

A cultist swipes at Tala with his dagger (1pt of damage) while keeping balance on the marbles with great agility

Toothpick grins.

Petra (A cultist): miss

Toryn (Toryn): can the others charge in at this point evil GM ? or are we still in the surprise rounds?

Toothpick steps back.

Petra (Evil GM): nope, you guys can start charging in

Stuart (Toothpick): Yes please ... I've almost exhausted my bolts ...

Rand keeps meditating

Evil GM: If you all run...you can get up to where we are this round

Kenny (Ro): we use ammo counter?

Toryn: " Take them alive we need to interrogate them ! " roars Toryn running in

Petra (Evil GM): as long as ammo is "reasonable", I'm not exactly keeping track

Toryn (Toryn): we should probably move in our initiative order no?

Vincent (Rand): can we trip on Tooth his marbles?

Evil GM: Everyone except Toothpick re-roll init

Evil GM: yes, if you go past the marbles you will have to do a dex check

Toothpick: Carefull o' me marbles lads ... move to the sides and yous can enter easily.

Evil GM: NPCs, Rand, Toryn, Ro, Tooth, Aikira, Tala

A cultist loses his balance on the marbles while swiping at Tala and falls over backwards, flat on his back

Rand keeps meditating

Toryn: " Take them alive ! " roars Toryn again " We need to interrogate them ! You there ! " Toryn points at the cultist furthest away from him as Toryn slowly edges past the marbles " We've killed all your brethen and your monsters - surrender now in the name of Mithaniel Marr ! "

A cultist cowers on the ground

Toryn (Toryn): which one ?

Evil GM: Oh, sorry.....the one infront of Tala ontop of the marbles. The one in the back by the alter is holding onto life by 1 HP

Stuart (Toothpick): muhahaha ... not for long !

Toryn (Toryn): best to take more than one prisoner in case one refuses to talk

Stuart (Toothpick): OK

Tala: We taking this one too??

Toryn: " Definitely - capture them both alive, let's learn from my mistake " declares

Ro walks into the room

Evil GM: Give me a dex roll

Evil GM: Ro walks into the room and falls on her butt as she trips on the marbles

Evil GM: Toryn, dex roll

Kenny (Ro): i made it?

Toryn also trips on the marbles as he walks into the room

Tala keeps an arrow nocked and held at the cultist

Er, might want to pick up your marbles before you lose them...

Tala: Er, might want to pick up your marbles before you lose them

Ro walks over the altar out of curiosity

Toryn: Toryn regains his feet glaring at the marbles then advances towards the cultist on the far side of the room " Surrender ! The rest of your allies are either dead or out of action "

Evil GM: This is what you see in the room minus the cultists worshiping:

The walls of this roughly hewn cavern are covered in softly glowing fungus. At the back of the room stands a stone altar. The altar is bathed in blood, and the sand before it is stained almost black. Four human supplicants kneel before it, chanting softly.

Toothpick carefully scoops up his marbles.

-> toothpick: search roll

A cultist looks up at Toryn, groaning

Rand helps Toryn search the place

-> toothpick: you "sense" a secret door somewhere

Toryn: Toryn disarms the cultist and ties him up with a look of disgust

Toryn: strips the cultist of his robes, rips the robes into strips and ties the cultist with it

Toothpick carefully examines the walls looking for tell-tale changes in the pattern of lichens.

Tala starts tying the cultist infront of her up

Ro: can i do a search roll on the altar?

Toothpick: Searching the left hand wall first.

-> toothpick: nothing

Evil GM: Toryn, use rope or dex roll

Toothpick frowning and muttering quietly as he lights up a pipe, moves over to the right hand wall and begins to probe amongst the lichen carefully.

Evil GM: toothpick - search roll

Tala tries to drag the cultist to the center of the room

Toothpick: lol

-> toothpick: it takes you quite awhile, but eventually you find the faint outlines of a door in the lichen

Toothpick: Thank you !

Toothpick: Och lads ... and lassies ... I think I've found a door, when yous are ready o' course, I'll just have a wee puff ot two whilst ye "extract information".

Toothpick draws contentedly on his pipe sending a few small smoke rings up into the air.

Evil GM: What are you guys going to do?

(15 minute warning)

Kenny (Ro): can i examin the altar?

Evil GM: Sure, give me a search roll

Kenny (Ro): search is wisdom or int?

-> ro: anything specific?

Toryn (Toryn): wisdom

Ro: naaa didn't find anything lol

-> ro: it's covered in a lot of blood

Rand starts to pray to Druzzil meditating and asking her to restore his magical powers

Tala kicks the cultist tied up on the ground before her

Ro shivers at the sight of the altar

Toryn: " Aikira come up here please ? " calls Toryn

Aikira comes up beside Toryn

Ro walks up to Rand and asks him what he is doing in broken common speech

Toryn: " My friend is a dark elf - I'm sure you know of their reputation " Toryn says to the tied up cultist... " He will take great pleasure in maiming and torturing you in exactly the same manner that you did to those poor villagers - unless you tell us exactly what we want to know "

A cultist cowering as best he can tied up

Stuart (Toothpick): lol

A cultist: w-w-what shall be asked of me?

Toryn: " So tell me " continues Toryn " What do you know that you think is important enough for us to let you live , slime? "

Rand pulls Ro a bit closer so he doesn't disturb Toryn and Aikira and explains what meditation and prayers are as good as possible in broken human/orcish

A cultist: That Moltor is the way to salvation, eternal life on this plane

Toothpick studies Toryn intently, pondering the knight's words ... "Would he ..." he wonders, and gently rubs his bald head, thinking.

Toryn: " What is Moltor the god of ? "

Toryn: " Pain ? Suffering ? Death ? Disease ? "

A cultist blinks

A cultist: I don't know...

Toryn: " What were your leader's plans for Brighthaven - aside from capturing and torturing villagers? "

A cultist shakes his head, looking puzzled

Toryn: " What do you know of the undead here - did you create them ? "

A cultist: I don't know...I've only been told to worship at this alter...

Toryn: " Describe what your leader looks like "

The other cultist yells, "Tell him nothing coward! This is not the way!"

A cultist blinks

Toryn (Toryn): Toryn wants to know if the description matches someone we've already killed

A cultist: I've never seen his face, he always wears robes like ours

A cultist: and a mask...

Toothpick watches Toryn, wondering how he will handle this.

Toryn: " Where does he live, this leader of yours ? "

Toryn: " Toothpick, gag the other one " says Toryn as an aside pointing at the other cultist that Toryn isn't questioning

A cultist: Somewhere close by, but he never makes his chambers known to one as lowly as I

Toryn: " What do you know of the Barrow King ? "

Rand: I think that they wouldn't know eachother if you pointed them out Toryn... Apparently their leader prefers not to be knows

A cultist shakes his head

Vincent (Rand): known*

A cultist: Nothing

Toothpick shrugs, and produces some cloth and leather wrappings.

Toothpick gags the cultist.

Toryn: " Hold off on gagging him Toothpick, sorry "

Toryn: " Bob, come here "

Villager Bob ambles over

Toryn: Toryn approaches the other cultist and grabs the cultist by his hair, painfully jerking the man's head upwards

Toothpick puts the cloth and wrappings back in a side pocket of his backpack.

A cultist grunts (other cultist)

Toryn: " Look at this poor villager - look at what you did to him - look closely scum !!! "

A cultist: I did NOTHING to him. My hands are clean. Mordiggin was the one who pleasured himself in causing others pain.

Toothpick: Perhaps, his leader isbeyond this door that I found ... course ... he might not be.

Toothpick nods at the secret door.

Ro: there candles on the altar?

-> ro: yes

Toryn: " You all seem to like pain - tell me this ... if we were to chop off all your arms and legs... leave you a cripple ... would you ever be able to experience pain again, helpless as you would be ? I'm tempted to do just that to you right now - use fire to seal the stumps closed afterwards... "

Ro: can i levi a candle above his head? ;p

A cultist grins evilly at Toryn

A cultist: Would you be so willing to leave one, even as lowly as I, a cripple, to starve, to never experience joy again........oh holy knight?

Toryn: " After seeing what you did to those villagers - scum like you deserves no less .. .and if I don't my friend the dark elf will ! "

Toryn: Toryn repeats the same questions he asked the other cultist

A cultist smiles again, total and complete "peace" in his face

A cultist: If that is what Moltor wishes, then I accept my fate. Just know it was by your order that you leave me in such condition Knight. Know that you send me to Moltor's feet this day.

Toryn: " Bah this is useless ! " snarls Toryn... " Leave them here, we'll return for them later , make sure their bonds are secure - let's investigate this door the dwarf speaks of "

Toothpick: Let it go Toryn, bind and gag them ... we waste time and I dinnae think they'll respond to threats.

Toryn: As Toryn walks towards Toothpick he smiles and whispers into the dwarf's ear " My bark is worse than my bite my friend - the cultist was correct I'm afraid "

Ro: lezz eet im

Toothpick nods.

Stuart (Toothpick): Gag the cultists ... let the orc eat 'em later ... saves my rations and do the door thing !

Kenny (Ro): half orc

Toryn: " Agreed minus Ro eating them "

Stuart (Toothpick): Sorry ... half orc ... you all look the same from down here ;-)

Rand walks to toothpick and urges him to open the door

Toryn: " Toothpick, Tala, if you'd be kind enough to scout ahead? "

Toryn: " through the door that is"

Toothpick listens carefully at the door and then searches it for traps.

Kenny (Ro): i got 16 charisma lol

Stuart (Toothpick): Bloody hell ... gorgeous !

Evil GM: Roll a search roll Toothpick

Evil GM: You hear nothing through the wall

Evil GM: You don't find a trap, but you find the mechinism that opens the secret door

Toothpick oils the mechanism carefully to reduce noise and opens the door ...

Toothpick (whispers): Dowse the torch.

With an extremely loud grating noise that echos through the caverns, the thick stone wall opens revealing another chamber

Kenny (Ro): lol

Rand: Oh, nice, now everyone and their mother knows we are here

Ro giggles

Tala (snaps): he had no way of knowing it would be that loud

Toothpick growls in frustration.

Rand: No worries Toothpick, you at least tried to be quiet... i would have opened it with a bang to boot :)

Toryn: Toryn pats toothpick on the shoulder " Without you we couldn't have opened it at all my friend that's the important thing "

Ro: can i sneak into the hallway as they are talking?

-> ro: give me a sneak check

-> ro: how far are you going up?

Ro: until i see something other than hallway hehe

Toothpick moves cautiosly into the passage but crouches low.

Tala: Those that sneaked up see this:

Toothpick: 1/2 speed I guess.

A large chamber stretches nearly 35ft (10.6 meters) long and 25ft (7.6 meters) wide. Sand covers the floor. A stone dais rises from the sand against the north wall A squat figurine of a bestial deity and two chests filled with gold sit upon the dias. Two brass braziers hang from the ceiling and bathe the room in a hellish red glow. Standing in the center of the room, waiting, is a large man in heavy armor. He hefts a gore smeared axe and presses it to his lips like a lover. A feral grin spreads across his features as he turns to face you, and winks

Petra (Tala): sorry, had to change it a bit due to events beyond my control ;-)

Stuart (Toothpick): Oooohhhh ..... Paladin fodder ;-)

Whatcha going to do

Kenny (Ro): oooooh a food covered axe

Stuart (Toothpick): lol

Toothpick beckons to the others and continues to advance ... crossbow at the ready.

Abraxes: Come, come if you think you can face Abraxes!

Toothpick: Och ... I dinnae think so my big friend ... why don't yous come and face me !

Toothpick Searches the ground in front of him for traps.

Abraxes: Ro, Toothpick, Rand, NPCs, Toryn

Toothpick: I'll fire away at Abraxes until out of bolts ... I reckon he'll squish me like a bug otherwise !

-> ro: k

Ro: k?

Abraxes thumps his chest

Abraxes: What are you, cowards?

Toothpick: Lads ... I'd suggest we fill him wi' arrows first ?

Rand bestows Courage on Toryn and Aikira "Make Druzzil Proud!"

Evil GM: Everyone give me will saves please

Vincent (Rand): both Toryn and Aikira, add 3hp and 1ac

Abraxes: Cowards! Nobody brave enough to fight Abraxes!

Kenny (Ro): wow we got good dice today

Vincent (Rand): HOLY

Stuart (Toothpick): :-(

Evil GM: Toryn, will save please

Evil GM: Toothpick, Tala, and Toryn fail their will saves and are taunted into running up and attacking Abraxes straight out on their turn

Evil GM: Everyone else is able to ignore the taunt

Stuart (Toothpick): Hurrah ! Not.

Ro: can i pick pocket the acid to throw it?

-> ro: yes

Ro: pickpocket roll?

Stuart (Toothpick): Did yous call my beard a sissy !

-> ro: yes

Vincent (Rand): i bet Aikira is pissed for not being one of the first to charge in with that taunt... but then again, he can always just charge himself :)

Evil GM: Toryn, spot roll

Evil GM: Nevermind..

Evil GM: While Toryn is distracted with the taunting, Ro successfully steals the flasks of acid off Toryn

Ro: still my turn?

-> ro: you can move

Ro: naaa just wanted to throw :P

-> ro: not from that distance

Stuart (Toothpick): Can I fire a bolt off or am Itoo maddened to ... and charge with my "mighty" blade instead ?

Evil GM: Charge ;-)

Evil GM: Actually, wait.......

Evil GM: Give me another will save

Toryn (Toryn): generally charge attacks give +2 on the attack rolls and -2 on AC as an FYI

Evil GM: Tooth only

Vincent (Rand): oops

Evil GM: you charge in with your blade, you're pissed

Stuart (Toothpick): Bugger ... this is going to end badly.

Toothpick: Charge Attack +2, Longsword (small) +4 [1d20+6 = 10]

Toryn (Toryn): what's your movement rate though toothpick?

Evil GM: Miss

Toothpick: AC at 15

Stuart (Toothpick): 20 feet

Toryn (Toryn): evil GM each square is 5 feet right ?

Evil GM: Correct

Kenny (Ro): then noone gets to him lol

Rand moves in to aid Toothpick and Toryn if needed

Evil GM: Ok, rewind...

Toryn (Toryn): toothpick might have to move back a bit there (lol)

Vincent (Rand): i did it for him :)

Stuart (Toothpick): Charge = twice speed thus 40 feet ?

Vincent (Rand): he was 2 squares ahead of me... so 20 puts him on my level :)

Toryn (Toryn): good point I totally forgot you can double your movement rate that way !

Evil GM: You're good...I won't smash you in the first round ;-)

Toryn: max of 30 feet for me though I think with the heavy armor

Stuart (Toothpick): 60 feet and then attack !

Toryn: " Die in the name of the Lightbringer you murderous scum ! " screams Toryn clanking along clumsily

Stuart (Toothpick): I'm not doubling my move out of choice ... I can feel pain coming my way.

Ro moves closer and throws a vial of acid at the Barrow king

Evil GM smiles sweetly

Evil GM: Range on the acid is 20ft

Evil GM: Give me a ranged roll

Evil GM: Hits, give me damage

Kenny (Ro): what does the acid hit for?

Evil GM: 1d6

Ro: devided by 2

Kenny (Ro): oh oops lol thought u put 1d 5 ther e:P

Evil GM: Go ahead and roll the d6

Vincent (Rand): lucky you :)

Ro throws the acid which connects with Abraxe's armor and leaks under his armor with a sizzle.

Evil GM: Tooth, your turn but give me a reflex roll first

Kenny (Ro): now that has to hurt

Stuart (Toothpick): Ref Save ?

Evil GM: Yes...to avoid splash damage from the acid

Evil GM: expertly avoid the acid

Stuart (Toothpick): Float like a butterfly and sting like a ...

Stuart (Toothpick): ... gnat.

Evil GM: miss

Rand moves up more, trying to get into the mans blindspot

Vincent (Rand): that is it... i ain't going in without toryn or aikira being there to take the hits first :)

Abraxes swings at Toothpick with a gleeful grunt

Petra (Abraxes): this is going to hurt...he successfully critted

Abraxes: The axe comes down on Toothpick with a sicking sound (12pts of damage)

Stuart (Toothpick): I laugh at your might y damage ... I have friends !

Toothpick snarls as the axe bites home, staggers but remains standing.

Tala runs up and tries wacking Abraxes with her bow in her haze of anger

Rand casts a really fast heal on Toothpick

Tala misses

Vincent (Rand): add 5hp heal Tooth

Stuart (Toothpick): Thanks !

Aikira runs up swinging with a cry in an unknown language

Aikira misses

Toryn (Toryn): does everyone get flanking bonuses ?

Petra (Aikira): sure

Kenny (Ro): i guess i better not throw acid anymore :P

Toryn (Toryn): everyone remember to add plus two to your attack rolls

Petra (Aikira): that might be bad

Toryn: Longsword (MW) 0, Longsword (MW) +10 [1d20+10 = 28]

Evil GM: Give me damage

Abraxes: This is more like it!

Abraxes: You hit, give me damage

Toothpick steps back.

Stuart (Toothpick): 5 foot step. Done.

Rand moves into the blindspot of Abraxes and swings his Mace

Abraxes grunts as he's bludgoned from behind

Abraxes tries swinging at Toryn

Abraxes misses, cursing

Aikira swings

Aikira misses

Tala swings

Toryn (Toryn): evil GM add plus two to Abraxes attack roll for Toryn charging

Toryn (Toryn): or lower Toryn's AC by 2

Tala with a mightly wack with her bow on Abraxe's head, he falls down, unconcious

Toryn (Toryn): why do I suspect a GM fiat? :P

Rand: WTF

Petra (Tala): actually, he had 1hp left......she rolled a 3

Toryn (Toryn): seems like a suspiciously low amount of hit points :P

Toryn (Toryn): oh, okay then

Petra (Tala): actually, he only had 27

Kenny (Ro): he actually seemed a normal man lol

Stuart (Toothpick): Damn .. and I was considering a Trip attack. Good work people.

Toryn: Toryn tries to come to his senses, chest heaving in rage

Ro: Raand he ded?

Tala: I can't believe she actually managed to wack him with her bow...lol

Toryn: " Torturing villagers - ripping the sleeping dead from their graves and reanimating their bodies ... "

Ok, this is where we stop

Toryn: " Yes little one dead " says Toryn patting Ro

Rand checks the body for lifesigns

Evil GM: He's alive

Rand is pacing around now, hyped on adrenaline :)
