(4) Randall: Right. You had just fought off the shadows and were investigating the body near the doors when Shaorin was attacked by a shadow asp.
** (6) Shaorin is regretting not learning any telepathic communication powers **
(4) Randall: Before you stands a heavy stone door. IT is decorated with a scene of a warrior fighting off vearious creatures, all of which have tentacles of some sort or another. Standing on each side of the door are large stone statues and ice coats the floor around the doorway.
(1) Chtkrilktha: (I see no map, if there is one)
(4) Randall: I didn't place a map, the same as last week,
(4) Randall: OC: this week I am doing without a map as it seems impossible with what I plan
(5) Lae'nial: "I think those pictures might be warnings."
(1) Chtkrilktha: "Perhaps. What to do with this one?" *motions towards the collapsed Shaorin.
(5) Lae'nial: "I do not posses any item which would remove the poison."
(5) Lae'nial: "Dragging him would probably not be healthy for him."
(6) Shaorin: (I think resting the night would let me heal back up to strength 1)
(4) Randall: OC: yes it does
(1) Chtkrilktha: "Experience in the ways of poisons is not held."
(5) Lae'nial: "Well, we could always carry him back to the entrance and sit and wait for him to recover enough to move on his own."
(1) Chtkrilktha: "Could take much time, but better than lugging it around."
(6) Shaorin: (If I could talk, I would be expressing indignation over being referred to as an "it")
(4) Randall: OC: so you return to the entrance to rest?
(5) Lae'nial: (Yep)
** (1) Chtkrilktha drags the body of Shaorin to the entrance **
(4) Randall: ok the party returns to the netrance and makes camp
(5) Lae'nial: (Which also allows me to regain spells. Yaay!)
(6) Shaorin: (what, you can't even lift me off the ground?)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (weakend by asp)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (though to 15... hmm... )
** (1) Chtkrilktha hoists frail mammal-creature over shoulders **
** (6) Shaorin was about to start levitating if necessary **
(4) Randall: You rest for the night, Shaorin regains some of his strength and LAe'nial memorises his spells. The unsleeping Cht watches for the night
(1) Chtkrilktha: (wonder if lack of need for sleep will affect poison recuperation in any way)
(5) Lae'nial: (Wouldn't that indicate a need for sleep?)
(4) Randall: OC: probably they just need to keep activity to a minimum to recover
** (6) Shaorin wakes up and begins moving weakly **
(1) Chtkrilktha: (so that is what, 1 point?)
(6) Shaorin: That'll teach me not to reach into dark places without looking first :(
(1) Chtkrilktha: (thri-kreen can't sleep)
(4) Randall: oc: I believe it is 1 point.
(6) Shaorin: If we continue working together, it would be wise to find a companion able to deal with poison and wounds
(4) Randall: OC: you recover 2 points if you get complete rest
(1) Chtkrilktha: "The guiding of a shaman is always wise."
(4) Randall: OC: need to get a new chair, my old one just split
(4) Randall: Oc: right
(4) Randall: OC: all rested up?
(5) Lae'nial: (Yep)
(5) Lae'nial: (Uh...How fast is HP recovery?)
(6) Shaorin: (1/level/day)
(4) Randall: OC: 1hp per level natural
(5) Lae'nial: (Thanks. Just found it in the online SRD)
(5) Lae'nial: (Full heal, then)
(4) Randall: REcovered from the night before you prepare to go down the stairs again to the hall (I suppose)
(5) Lae'nial: (Yep)
(4) Randall: You are again faced with the stone door.
(5) Lae'nial: (Is there anything I can try to decypher?)
(6) Shaorin: (is there an obvious way to open it?)
(4) Randall: There is no writing to decipher and the doorway is comprised of 2 large stone doors that appear to swing inward.
(6) Shaorin: (any handles to pull them by?)
(4) Randall: no handles
(6) Shaorin: (wait, inward - do they swing into our room or further into the complex?)
(4) Randall: They swing inwards away from you
(6) Shaorin: (ah, so we just need to push)
(6) Shaorin: (carefully, of course)
(5) Lae'nial: "I've got a pole we can use."
(6) Shaorin: how long?
(5) Lae'nial: "Ten feet."
(4) Randall: So you are going to push the doors open with the pole?
(6) Shaorin: I'd suggest that Chtk... *points at thri-kreen* he do it
(6) Shaorin: Do you have a version of your name easier to pronounce for humans?
(1) Chtkrilktha: "Have very little contact with mammal-creatures previous."
(5) Lae'nial: "How about Krill?"
(1) Chtkrilktha: (krilkth is one syllable as I imagine it)
(5) Lae'nial: (That could be said aloud)
(4) Randall: Despite how heavy they look, as Chtk pushes with the pole the doors swing inwards. You have just long enough to see that there is a passageway leading off into the dark when a gust of chill wind erupts out blowing past you
(1) Chtkrilktha: (can say that aloud; i dont really care, just pointing out that "krill" isnt a sound made by character)
(5) Lae'nial: (Ah)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (was it a or tha at the end... i forget. hmm... just pick something easy to type)
** (1) Chtkrilktha examines area beyond door **
(4) Randall: OC: map starts at the bottom
** (6) Shaorin stays in back **
(4) Randall: The pasage way is dug out of stone and leads inward with a bend up ahead, you can make out a doorway on the right
(6) Shaorin: Let's investigate the door and whatever's beyond it first
(4) Randall: There is noa ctual door, just a side passage
** (1) Chtkrilktha peers around corners **
(4) Randall: the side passage leads to a small room
(4) Randall: oc: how do i delete
(5) Lae'nial: (Right-Click)
(4) Randall: OC: thanks
(4) Randall: in the centre of the small room is a stone table with a dessicated corpse lying on top
(1) Chtkrilktha: Does the corpse look fresh or old and rotten?
** (6) Shaorin lets someone *else* search the body this time **
(4) Randall: It is very old and lies in state. it holds a rusted sword and wears various metal objects
(4) Randall: OC: was someone going to search it?
** (1) Chtkrilktha looks at the metal objects **
(5) Lae'nial: (I hold my bow with a drawn arrow close to it's chest)
(4) Randall: there are some bracelets, a torque, some rusty armour
** (6) Shaorin checks for magic **
(6) Shaorin: Shaorin Trannyth uses Detect Psionics ( level 1, "You detect the presence of psionics." )
** (1) Chtkrilktha keeps watch on the hallway **
(6) Shaorin: Lae'nial, I suggest you apply your torch to this corpse now
(5) Lae'nial: (Me does so)
(6) Shaorin: It reeks of necromancy, and the aura is getting stronger
(6) Shaorin: well, faintly reeks of necromancy
(4) Randall: OC: great now I need to look up what damage fire does:)
** (5) Lae'nial also shoots a wooden arrow through the creatures heart. **
(4) Randall: LAenial sets fire to the body. It starts to smolder and suddenly lets loose with a eery scream.
(4) Randall: Intitiative
(6) Shaorin: Dex check: [1d20+2] -> [8,2] = (10)
(4) Randall: [1d20] -> [19] = (19)
(5) Lae'nial: Initiative: [1d20+4] -> [12,4] = (16)
(6) Shaorin: (Is Syndra anywhere with us?
(6) Shaorin: )
(4) Randall: OC: yeah i guess so, just a minute
(1) Chtkrilktha: Initiative: [1d20+6] -> [13,6] = (19)
(4) Randall: [1d20] -> [7] = (7)
(4) Randall: The creature lurches up and swipes at Laenial
(4) Randall: [1d20] -> [1] = (1)
(4) Randall: It loses it's balance and falls off the table :)
(5) Lae'nial: (What about my bowshot?)
(4) Randall: Roll for damage then
(5) Lae'nial: Longbow Attack Roll: [1d20+7] -> [15,7] = (22)===> DMG: [1d8+1+0] -> [6,1,0] = (7)
(5) Lae'nial: (Whoop - I think I still had it modified for the +1 arrows)
(5) Lae'nial: (So 21 and 6 damage)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (just add several longbows, one with regular arrows, one with +1 arrows, whatever you need)
(5) Lae'nial: (Thanks)
(4) Randall: the creature lands on it's feet facing LAenial, with ana rrow sticking out of its chest
(4) Randall: Chtk's turn
** (1) Chtkrilktha attacks with dual gythkas **
(1) Chtkrilktha: (I forget... for double-ended weapons, is it just one attack roll, or two separate attack rolls?)
(6) Shaorin: (depends on whether you're attacking with both ends)
(6) Shaorin: (in this case, I think you have to move more than 5 ft, so one end)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (in general...)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (and i thought that didnt apply to double weapons, only multiples)
(6) Shaorin: (you can treat it as either a two-handed weapon or as two weapons, your choice, changeable at any time)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (stupid rules...)
(1) Chtkrilktha: Gythka (MW), double wield Attack Roll: [1d20+4] -> [18,4] = (22)===> DMG: [1d8+3] -> [3,3] = (6)
(1) Chtkrilktha: Gythka (MW), double wield Attack Roll: [1d20+4] -> [6,4] = (10)===> DMG: [1d8+3] -> [1,3] = (4)
(4) Randall: Chtk's first atatck bites into the undeads back
(4) Randall: Lae'nials turn
(5) Lae'nial: (I already used up my turn - Prepared action)
(5) Lae'nial: (Or readied action)
(4) Randall: I judge that the bow attack was before combat as it it was unprepared
(4) Randall: OC: are there any rules for being on fire, or should I just wing it
(5) Lae'nial: Longbow Attack Roll: [1d20+7] -> [18,7] = (25)===> DMG: [1d8+1+0] -> [4,1,0] = (5)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (id say that it would get some fire damage added to its touch attack if its hands/arms are on fire, just for fun factor)
(6) Shaorin: (I believe it has to make a reflex save to put the flames out each round)
(6) Shaorin: (if it doesn't make it, it takes more damage and continues burning)
(4) Randall: the burning corpse is hit by another arrow
(1) Chtkrilktha: (and any attack against it with unarmed attack should be subjected to reflex save or d4 fire damage or something)
(5) Lae'nial: (1d6?)
(4) Randall: Shaorins turn
** (6) Shaorin decides to augment the flames **
(6) Shaorin: Shaorin Trannyth uses Energy Missile ( level 2, "Deal 3d6 energy damage to up to five subjects. (Augment: +1d6 damage and +1 DC/PP)" )
(6) Shaorin: [3d6+3] -> [6,4,5,3] = (18)
(6) Shaorin: (Reflex DC 18 for half)
(4) Randall: [1d20] -> [2] = (2)
(6) Shaorin: Concentration Skill Check: [1d20+11] -> [6,11] = (17)
(4) Randall: the creature is burned to a crisp and collapses
(4) Randall: brb
(6) Shaorin: (ah good, I didn't waste points augmenting that :) )
(5) Lae'nial: BRB
(4) Randall: back
(5) Lae'nial: BAck
** (1) Chtkrilktha watches corridor as fleshies examine remains of corpse **
(1) Chtkrilktha: (WOTC is the only company that could streamline a rule system whilst simultaneously making it a hell of a lot more complicated)
(4) Randall: The burnt remains of the corpse still wears it's gold bracelets and torque. The armour is useless though
(4) Randall: despite the fire there is still a chill tot he air
(6) Shaorin: Well, that's been dealt with. Let's continue exploring, shall we?
(1) Chtkrilktha: "After recovering trinkets?"
(5) Lae'nial: "Yes."
(6) Shaorin: You can if you wish. I care nothing for such things.
(1) Chtkrilktha: "gold is weak metal, not useful for war. but mammal-creatures do value it so..."
(1) Chtkrilktha: "trade for usefuls later"
(1) Chtkrilktha: The thri-kreen breaks off and continues down the passageway.
(4) Randall: The tunnel curves aroud further, and you can see another room up ahead
** (1) Chtkrilktha remains in a combat stance **
(6) Shaorin: You coming, Lae'nial?
(5) Lae'nial: "Yep."
(4) Randall: There is another wight coming out of the second room
(4) Randall: [1d20] -> [14] = (14)
(1) Chtkrilktha: Initiative: [1d20+6] -> [14,6] = (20)
(4) Randall: Init
(6) Shaorin: Initiative: [1d20+2] -> [20,2] = (22)
(5) Lae'nial: Initiative: [1d20+4] -> [16,4] = (20)
(4) Randall: [1d20] -> [12] = (12)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (i forget, what was syndra?)
(4) Randall: 12
(4) Randall: or class?
(1) Chtkrilktha: (level 12??? 8-O I meant class)
(6) Shaorin: (rogue)
(4) Randall: I'm fairly sure she's a rogue though anthony didn't put it down
(1) Chtkrilktha: (whos up?)
(4) Randall: Shaorin
(6) Shaorin: Shaorin Trannyth uses Energy Missile ( level 2, "Deal 3d6 energy damage to up to five subjects. (Augment: +1d6 damage and +1 DC/PP)" )
(6) Shaorin: [3d6+3] -> [4,6,2,3] = (15)
(4) Randall: [1d20] -> [16] = (16)
(6) Shaorin: (DC 18 reflex half)
(6) Shaorin: (fire damage)
(6) Shaorin: Concentration Skill Check: [1d20+11] -> [4,11] = (15)
(4) Randall: The wight narrowly dodges most of the blast
(4) Randall: Chtk
** (1) Chtkrilktha unleashes thri-kreen fury **
(1) Chtkrilktha: Gythka (MW), double wield Attack Roll: [1d20+4] -> [13,4] = (17)===> DMG: [1d8+3] -> [6,3] = (9)

(4) Randall: :o
(6) Shaorin: (Is it dead yet? :P)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (two double weapons with full attack, what did you expect?)
(4) Randall: I'm assuming that's 2x2 weapons
(5) Lae'nial: (I thought an extra weapon only gave one bonus attack?)
(5) Lae'nial: (Oh)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (4 arms changes things a bit)
(5) Lae'nial: (Munchkin)
(4) Randall: there should be penal;ties (although reduced for a thrikeen) for so many attcks
(1) Chtkrilktha: (i factored them in when I set up the attacks; multidexterity and multiweapon fighting reduce them a bit)
(4) Randall: so the +4 included bonuses and penalties?
(1) Chtkrilktha: (-3 to each attack left over from all that, +3 strength, +3 base attack bonus, +1 masterwork)
(6) Shaorin: (I believe it's treated as fighting with two weapons, except three of them get the off hand penalties)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (multidexterity makes all of them not offhand or something like that, forget the exact wording)
(4) Randall: anyhow the wight is rended apart in a flurry of sharp death
(4) Randall: it collapses silently
(1) Chtkrilktha: (ill go through it again later if you like)
(4) Randall: that's ok
(6) Shaorin: (multiweapon fighting and double weapons being treated as offhand being light, adds up to a -2 attack penalty on all four attacks)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (lack of armor and 2 class levels makes this far less munchkinized there narf :P)
(6) Shaorin: (I think only the first gets your full strength bonus to damage, though)
(6) Shaorin: (the rest should only get half)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (lets go over that later and get on with the adventure)
** (1) Chtkrilktha examines corpse and room **
(5) Lae'nial: (Uh-huh. And who just did 29 damage? And can do that as many times as he can roll well?)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (sigh...)
(4) Randall: the aprty continues on
(6) Shaorin: (just wait till something with damage reduction gets it applied to all four attack separately, Narf)
(5) Lae'nial: (Point)
(4) Randall: you can jst make out 2 more wights emerging from the dark ahead
(4) Randall: [1d20] -> [2] = (2)
(6) Shaorin: Initiative: [1d20+2] -> [6,2] = (8)
(1) Chtkrilktha: Initiative: [1d20+6] -> [4,6] = (10)
(4) Randall: OC: you know I've had terrible rolls for 2 weeks now :(
(5) Lae'nial: Initiative: [1d20+4] -> [12,4] = (16)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (lots of attacks, but my AC is piss-poor compared to a typical level 5 fighter)
(6) Shaorin: (we're not complaining :) )
(1) Chtkrilktha: (first good rolls I have had in two weeks, dont feel left out)
(4) Randall: [1d20] -> [2] = (2)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (send more at a time ;))
(4) Randall: you'll note it also works against Syndra who keeps going last
(4) Randall: laenial
(5) Lae'nial: Longbow Attack Roll: [1d20+7] -> [12,7] = (19)===> DMG: [1d8+1+0] -> [4,1,0] = (5)
(6) Shaorin: (these wights have yet to last a full round anyway)
(4) Randall: OC: actually the asp did well so it's not all bad, or good :)
(4) Randall: Laenials arrow strikes one of the wights
(1) Chtkrilktha: (shaorin typically does a lot more damage wiht that enegy missile than I can do)
(4) Randall: whcih one
(4) Randall: and if laenial is shooting he should be able to see them at least
(5) Lae'nial: (The top one)
(5) Lae'nial: (Yeah...Shaorins a munchkin! :D )
(5) Lae'nial: (I've got LoS to it)
(4) Randall: Chtk
** (1) Chtkrilktha guards the passage **
(4) Randall: Shaorin then
(6) Shaorin: (full defense = +4 AC)
(6) Shaorin: (is there light to see them by?)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (Does that preclude attacks of opportunity if they try to go by me or something?)
(4) Randall: chtk has darkvision, andf the rext of you have a torch
(5) Lae'nial: (I have to go at eight)
(6) Shaorin: (no, full defense just gives up your action. You can still make AoO's)
(6) Shaorin: Shaorin Trannyth uses Energy Missile ( level 2, "Deal 3d6 energy damage to up to five subjects. (Augment: +1d6 damage and +1 DC/PP)" )
(6) Shaorin: Shaorin Trannyth uses Augment ( level 1, "Increase the effect of another power by 1 PP" )
(6) Shaorin: Shaorin Trannyth uses Augment ( level 1, "Increase the effect of another power by 1 PP" )
(4) Randall: just kill thse wights and you can finish

(6) Shaorin: (DC 20 this time)
(6) Shaorin: Concentration Skill Check: [1d20+11] -> [13,11] = (24)
(4) Randall: wight 2 is left, a flaming effigy advancing relentlessly on you
(6) Shaorin: (shouldn't that 1 make it take extra damage? :D)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (I think 25 is plenty :P)
(4) Randall: next turn
(4) Randall: [1d20] -> [19] = (19)
(1) Chtkrilktha: Initiative: [1d20+6] -> [19,6] = (25)
(5) Lae'nial: Initiative: [1d20+4] -> [20,4] = (24)
(6) Shaorin: (but their listed hp is 26)
(6) Shaorin: Initiative: [1d20+2] -> [20,2] = (22)

(4) Randall: hey, hey, hey no looking at the MM entry :(
(1) Chtkrilktha: (bad douglas!
(4) Randall: figures. I roll god for its init and everyone rolls above 20
