I wanted to scan them.</div> <div> Missiledine: Neither one of you owns a scanner? I was in Office Max and they had them for $49!</div> <div> Missiledine: Get with the information age!</div> <div> Dukejr01: I am lazy. maybe I will get my network up and going an buy a scanner</div> <div> Dukejr01: I will probably paint the basement first</div> <div> Missiledine: lol</div> <div> tacit01: that's a utility bill... now that it's warming up, maybe</div> <div> Dukejr01: most of the snow is actually gone here.</div> <div> Dukejr01: areas with permanent shade still have it.</div> <div> Missiledine: ooh, arte the glaciers receeding yet?</div> <div> tacit01: someone was asking me about that yesterday....</div> <div> Dukejr01: global warming has arrived, it called spring"</div> <div> Dukejr01: happens nearly every year. one could call it a trend</div> <div> Missiledine: Ah! Spring on the Tundra</div> <div> tacit01: Spring - also known as Mud season</div> <div> Missiledine: Ok gents... are we ready?</div> <div> Dukejr01: ah yes. the Four Seasons. Snow, Mud, Road repair and Harvest</div> <div> Dukejr01: Good to Go!</div> <div> Missiledine: okay then....time to die! Errr, play</div> <div> Dukejr01: <Jacinta can go first!></div> <div> Missiledine: <The first one through the door is crowned king! The second is the ritual sacrifice...></div> <div> tacit01: <what a great hero of the people, our Lord Athamar is></div> <div> tacit01: Yeah!</div> <div> Dukejr01: <Athamar is brave enough, its simply not his job to go first></div> <div> Dukejr01: <Corren will go first, that is his job></div> <div> Missiledine: Ok.... When we last played... The Sacarium Guard and the Abbot had arrived in force and were geared up to clean out the Fangs...</div> <div> Dukejr01: Right. How many guides will they need and do they want to go to the place wher Athamr found the skeletons first?</div> <div> Missiledine: After completeing the ritual clensing and burning of the headless corpse, the Abbot washed his hands and exchanged a few words</div> <div> with his people. They will hitch up the coach for the trip out to the fortress. The Abbot is not inclined to walk that far and its hard to imagine him</div> <div> straddling a horse</div> <div> Dukejr01: Okay. Athamar heads out the Fangs as the coach is being readied. He takes his men and Lord Boma's troops.</div> <div> Missiledine: He calls you over, "Lord Athamar, would you be kind enough to arrange a hamper of food? I expect we will be out there quite awhile</div> <div> and I hate missing a meal."\</div> <div> tacit01: Jacinta will go along (of course)</div> <div> Dukejr01: Good idea. Athamar talks to Gallus and arranges for food to be prepared. a hot meal at neentime for the troops will be a good idea if it is possible.</div> <div> maybe have some militia deliver it in a wagon</div> <div> Dukejr01: noontime</div> <div> Dukejr01: we should also take a hamper with us.</div> <div> Dukejr01: I thought of doing the food thing this afternoon, but forgot to mention it.</div> <div> Missiledine: Once everything is ready the Abbot climbs into the coach and the whole cavalcade heads out</div> <div> Dukejr01: okay. are we on the way to the Fangs already?</div> <div> Missiledine: <The Abbot doesn't forget things like that></div> <div> Missiledine: yes</div> <div> Dukejr01: Don't forget some wine and beer for the men and hte Abbot</div> <div> Missiledine: As the main body starts up the slope the ring of pickets will contract, freeing more troops for the assault...The Sacarium Guard pours</div> <div> into the fortress and quickly occupies the main courtyard and covers all the entrances</div> <div> Dukejr01: good.</div> <div> Dukejr01: maybe the pickets should be militia with a stiffening of Sacrum Guard?</div> <div> Missiledine: The coach will be left outside, the narrow passage is too tight to negotiate. The Abbot grumbles about that but struggle bravely</div> <div> onward... Soldiers bring along a portable folding chair and a bunch of boxes and cases</div> <div> tacit01: <the sacrifices a man of the cloth must make...></div> <div> Dukejr01: is there any way that A can use Shape earth or stone to make it easier?</div> <div> Missiledine: "Let them do their job,Athamar." The Abbot waves away your suggestion. "If our enemy gets desperate enough to attempt a break out</div> <div> your militia won't be able to stop them."</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Of course, your Reverance."</div> <div> Missiledine: <Not in a convenient period of time></div> <div> Dukejr01: How many militia are along in this little fiesta?</div> <div> Missiledine: Soon the Abbot is settled on his seat on the upper level where he has a good view of the procedings... He waves to the Lieutenant.</div> <div> "All right young man, lets get the show started."</div> <div> Missiledine: <All of them, unless you put some in the manor house></div> <div> Dukejr01: Athamar would like a few left with Gallus to guard th manor and deliver lunch etc. run messeges.</div> <div> Dukejr01: A distributes cont lights</div> <div> Missiledine: Six of the Guard are opening up the cases they brought up. They are removing bronze tubes, each about three feet long and shaped</div> <div> like a dragon. The dragons tail curves up and over the back of the tube. There are two small wings at the rear. The mouth of the dragon is a</div> <div> flared opening. The tube is maybe 4" in diameter. The men open a plug at the rear and pour in a pints worth of liquid.</div> <div> Dukejr01: A blinks and watches silently. is it magic that he can tell?</div> <div> Missiledine: Then they light a small wick in the mouth and begin pumping the tail back and forth. It appears hinged and the tube makes a hissing</div> <div> sound with each repetition.</div> <div> Missiledine: No, no magic here</div> <div> Dukejr01: <flamethrowers. cool></div> <div> Missiledine: The Abbot sees your interest. "Ever see a Drake before? No?" He waves one guard over. "Please show Lord Athamar what our little</div> <div> toys do."</div> <div> Dukejr01: A watches</div> <div> Missiledine: The Guard finishes pumping, aims the open end of the tube at a scrub bush about six feet away, and squeezes the two wings</div> <div> together. There is a hiss and a jet of flame about 6' long shoots out and ignites the bush. The guard starets pumping again</div> <div> tacit01: as does J, if she can</div> <div> Missiledine: Everyone can see the demonstration</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Useful that. No magic"</div> <div> Dukejr01: nods to the guard</div> <div> Missiledine: "Dwarven design of course. All the best weapons are. They use them to defend their tunnels. Nasty toy in a confined space." The</div> <div> Abbot comments</div> <div> Dukejr01: "This place has plenty of that, Your Reverance"</div> <div> Missiledine: "Yes. Well there are six drakes, so lets set up six teams." He waves to the officer to "Get on with it."</div> <div> Missiledine: "Now, Lord Athamar. How many of your people can we count on?"</div> <div> Dukejr01: "I have eight ergulars, plus 10 that Lord Boma was kind enough to send, and 14 militia."</div> <div> Missiledine: The six teams will have three Sacarium Guards each. Two are staying with the Abbot, the rest are on picket. The two priests will each</div> <div> lead a team. </div> <div> Missiledine: "Take your 18 men at arms and divde them amongst the teams</div> <div> Dukejr01: okay that leaves 3 troops for each team plus two militia.</div> <div> Missiledine: We'll use the militia to help hold the outside." The Abbot decides</div> <div> Dukejr01: good</div> <div> Missiledine: "Do you want to go in Lord Athamar, or do you want to wait out here?"</div> <div> Dukejr01: I will lean a team, Thank you. This is rather personal. Should I lead one of the priests to the place where we found the undead?</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Your Reverance"</div> <div> Dukejr01: <pardon, busy typing></div> <div> Dukejr01: lean = lead</div> <div> Missiledine: "Yes, that would be an excellent idea." The Abbot agrees</div> <div> Dukejr01: <shall we have J and A stay together?</div> <div> Dukejr01: that would be quickest and easiest</div> <div> Missiledine: <Might make a nice change></div> <div> tacit01: no separate chat!? What's the callenge in that?</div> <div> tacit01: How can I plot A's demise when he's right there... watching...</div> <div> Dukejr01: okay. A takes a team with J and miklas and one of Boma's men. We want to make sure that each team has a guide.</div> <div> Dukejr01: <I thought your insidious plan was to marry A and produce half-demon heirs?></div> <div> Missiledine: Ok, the team with one of the Priests, his name is Derek and he wears the red sash of having the Vow of the Champion, will</div> <div> accompany your group to where the skeletons were.</div> <div> tacit01: <you wish - J ain't havin' sex with A></div> <div> Dukejr01: <your loss></div> <div> Missiledine: The other priest, the Lt. and a Guard NCO will lead teams and Ollyn will take the last group.</div> <div> Dukejr01: A leads the party into the tunnel toward the large open cavern. Well, Miklas leads.</div> <div> Missiledine: Derek will order the Guards with the drakes to take point and rearguard</div> <div> Dukejr01: the priest is named Derek?</div> <div> Missiledine: You arrive at your newly created stone wall without incident</div> <div> Missiledine: yes</div> <div> Dukejr01: okay. A will cast stone shape and move a corner away. we chuck a con light in and peek before opening it all the way.</div> <div> Missiledine: "Is this the place, Lord Athamar?</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Yes"</div> <div> Missiledine: When you open the corner, the Guard pushes the drake through and sprays the area beyond. Then backs away to toss the light stick</div> <div> in</div> <div> Missiledine: Nothing seems to happen... no movement is seen or sounds heard</div> <div> Dukejr01: no surprise</div> <div> Dukejr01: were they briefed?</div> <div> Missiledine: yes</div> <div> Dukejr01: okay</div> <div> Dukejr01: Athamar moves the stone away so we can see,. if its clear, he moves it over to clock the first entrance to the room.</div> <div> Dukejr01: block</div> <div> Missiledine: Derek sends the Guard in first. "Let us handle the Undead, Lord Athamar. The Guards weapons are consecrated for just such a</div> <div> purpose."</div> <div> Dukejr01: Athamar nods.</div> <div> Missiledine: How are you blocking the entrance?</div> <div> Missiledine: With your bodies or stone?</div> <div> Missiledine: Never mind, stone</div> <div> Missiledine: I re read the post</div> <div> Dukejr01: A would like to completely block two entrances with stone. and leave the third for ingress. if the Priest approves, A can out a low stone wall over the</div> <div> third so it is easier to defens</div> <div> Dukejr01: defend</div> <div> Missiledine: Once the first opening is sealed (There are, I think, only two to the room.)</div> <div> Dukejr01: okay. I thought there were three</div> <div> Missiledine: The priest will lead the way into the room. He stands and surveys it for a minute then calls the guards and you and Jacinta into a</div> <div> huddle</div> <div> tacit01: <ok, coach, man-to-man or zone defence this period?></div> <div> Dukejr01: <bad sign></div> <div> Dukejr01: <Bolshevik half-back stepped on my head, coach!></div> <div> Missiledine: "This is what we will do. Spread out in a line and work our way up the room, breaking jars as we go. Save the drakes until we have the</div> <div> undead massed in one area. I will force them to retreat ahead of us."</div> <div> Dukejr01: Athamar nods. "Very well. Lets get to it then></div> <div> Missiledine: "Once they are grouped we will torch them and hack the remainders to bits"</div> <div> tacit01: right</div> <div> Missiledine: The Guards spread out in a line. "Put your people in the second rank, if any braek away you will deal with them."</div> <div> Dukejr01: A lines his men up. A stays near Miklas.</div> <div> Missiledine: "once there is a clump we will all attack as needed."</div> <div> Missiledine: On the Priests signal the Guards begin toppling jars... There are at least a hundred unbroken jars in the room, though there are gaps</div> <div> between them where many have disintigrated over the years. Each row has maybe ten jars (intact) and the first three rows prove to be empty.</div> <div> Then on the fourth row you find the first skeletons</div> <div> Dukejr01: how many?</div> <div> Missiledine: As the jars tumble over and shatter, the Sketons begin clambering to their feet. The nearest guards will close in and hack it down if</div> <div> opportunity presents itself, but in most cases Derek steps forward, holding aloft the silver Sword and Flames of Mitra and speaks a few words of</div> <div> Power and the undewad start falling back.</div> <div> Dukejr01: Xool</div> <div> Dukejr01: cool, even</div> <div> Missiledine: The first row had six skeletons, two were destroyed by the Guards, the rest retreated... The second row had eight, they all retreat...</div> <div> Missiledine: The third row has ten, but this time Derek's efforts seem less fruitful. Four retreat, but six advance to attack....</div> <div> Dukejr01: how many Sacrum?</div> <div> Missiledine: Guards will move to intercept, and the NCO's will call for your line to move up..... There are six Sacarium Guards</div> <div> Dukejr01: A orders his men forward.</div> <div> tacit01: Onward, into the breach</div> <div> Dukejr01: that should be 2 to 1. then.</div> <div> Dukejr01: <lol. good one></div> <div> Missiledine: Fortunately the Skeletons that have already been turned remain hovering at the back of the room</div> <div> Missiledine: As trhe melee developes several jars in the next row are knocked over, three more skeletons are moving forward. Derek is unable</div> <div> to confront them to turn them away</div> <div> Missiledine: <Hang on, rolling dice></div> <div> Dukejr01: ack.</div> <div> Missiledine: Jacinta, you have one facing you, Miklas will be with you too</div> <div> Missiledine: Athamar, you and one of Boma's men and a Sacarium Guard are confronted by two Skeletons...</div> <div> tacit01: got it</div> <div> Missiledine: The skeletons, though fast by Undead standards, are still slower then the professionals facing them, so they will strike last in the</div> <div> round</div> <div> Dukejr01: righto. A will defend. He doesn't want his attack to screw up the fighter types.</div> <div> Missiledine: <Athamar, what weapon are you using?></div> <div> Dukejr01: staff.</div> <div> Dukejr01: havea big skill of 8!</div> <div> Dukejr01: whee!</div> <div> Missiledine: Jacinta, you scored a hit, which the Skeleton failed to parry... Miklas' attack is dodged...</div> <div> tacit01: huzzah!</div> <div> Missiledine: The blow is not the best you've ever landed tho and the skeleton attacks you with his shortsword</div> <div> Missiledine: Athamar, both the fighters score hits, but fail to take it out. The skeleton attacks the Boma fighter</div> <div> Missiledine: Jacinta, you fail to block and the skeleton lands a blow. Only 1 point of damage will get through your armor tho</div> <div> Missiledine: The Boma fighter blocks the attack</div> <div> Dukejr01: A will attack next round.</div> <div> Missiledine: <How? one handed, two handed?></div> <div> Dukejr01: the staff is two handed.</div> <div> Dukejr01: A has no shield/</div> <div> tacit01: ok - swing and block routine...</div> <div> Dukejr01: <puzzeled></div> <div> Missiledine: <ok, it can be used one handed as a broadsword type attack></div> <div> Dukejr01: oh,. cool. I thought it was a 6 foot staff.</div> <div> Missiledine: <Even so, you take a shorter grip on it></div> <div> Dukejr01: 2 handed</div> <div> Missiledine: Jacinta, you hit again. A better blow this time... It shatters a leg and the skeleton goes down, but it is still active and dangerous</div> <div> Missiledine: Maklas brings his blade sweeping around and takes the thing's head off</div> <div> Missiledine: Miklas</div> <div> tacit01: Check for another opponent</div> <div> Dukejr01: <ah. hot chocolate.></div> <div> tacit01: <Jacinta all out attacks the hot chocolate></div> <div> Missiledine: Athamar... The Boma fighter steps in, swinging with his sword and hits the skeleton in the rib cage. The blade seems to bind and the</div> <div> creature will be grabbing at the man as he tries to free it. The Sacarium Guard attacks, but the skeleton parries... You bring your staff whistling</div> <div> down in an overhead attack. The skeleton, locked up with the Boma fighter, is unable to dodge, and takes the blow...</div> <div> Missiledine: at the shoulder... shattering it </div> <div> Dukejr01: Athamar is kinda surprised.</div> <div> tacit01: <Go Athamar!></div> <div> Missiledine: <So am I></div> <div> Missiledine: <Rolled a 5></div> <div> Dukejr01: <lol></div> <div> Missiledine: You probably saved the Boma man from a nasty mauling</div> <div> Missiledine: He twists his sword free of the broken bones and nods his thanks before advancing into the frey</div> <div> Missiledine: fray</div> <div> Missiledine: Jacinta, you see one of the Guardsmen beset by two skeletons, he is cut off from his companions</div> <div> Dukejr01: A moves on to help another. preferably he will come from the side and be able to all-out-attack for +4 to hit.</div> <div> Missiledine: ok</div> <div> Missiledine: The Guard and the boma man have advanced and are aiding other combats... You see Derek help one of the Guardsmen who has</div> <div> staggard back, bleeding from a nasty wound to the face</div> <div> tacit01: J will move to assist the guradsman - are the other skeletons also armed?</div> <div> Missiledine: all the skeletons are armed with either shortswords, spiked mauls or hand axes</div> <div> tacit01: K - fist attack will be all out, +4 to hit the nearest skeleton's weapon arm</div> <div> tacit01: then swing & block routine</div> <div> Missiledine: J.. You attack one of the skeletons, hoping to take it unawares, but it reacts faster then you thought and parries the blow with its</div> <div> shortsword. However, either the blade was old and weakened by rust or cheaply made, because it shatters on the parry</div> <div> Missiledine: A living opponent would have been surprised by the weapon breakage, but the skeleton reacts by throwing itself at you in an attempt</div> <div> to pull you down</div> <div> tacit01: <goody> she'll try to keep her shield between the skeleton and herself</div> <div> Missiledine: It has grappled you, but lacking any flesh it has no weight and is unable to overbear you... it's clawing is futile against your armor (at</div> <div> leas this round)</div> <div> Dukejr01: <good rule!></div> <div> Missiledine: The guardsman is able to concentrate on finishing the other skeleton, he yells to you, "I'm coming! Hang on!""</div> <div> Missiledine: <thank you></div> <div> tacit01: <very nice> she'll use the pommel of her sword to bash at it</div> <div> Missiledine: Athamar. No one seems to need any rteal help, except maybe Jacinta and she's on the otherside of the melee. For the most part the</div> <div> fight seems to be well in hand</div> <div> Missiledine: ok</div> <div> Dukejr01: A will go around to her.</div> <div> Missiledine: The skeleton is clawing at you and trying to bite your face... You hammer at it with your pommel and can hear it's bones snapping</div> <div> under the blows, but its still clawing at you!</div> <div> Dukejr01: <exciting></div> <div> Missiledine: The Sacarium Guardsmen is still ocked in combat with a skeleton that is remnarkably lucky at parrying</div> <div> Missiledine: <What are you doing this round? Same as before?></div> <div> tacit01: Same as before, unless there is a wall nearby she can slam it into</div> <div> Missiledine: About eight feet from you, if you run straight at it</div> <div> Missiledine: wall?</div> <div> Dukejr01: <do it!></div> <div> Dukejr01: <hee hee. that is what Corren would do></div> <div> tacit01: If it won't separate her from the party too much, she will</div> <div> Missiledine: Charging the wall you slamn the skeleton against the stone. You can hear more bones snap and the skeleton's grip around your</div> <div> body slips away. It's still 'alive' though and suceedes in sinking its age yellowed teeth into your left cheek! You will be able to step away and</div> <div> disengae after that</div> <div> Missiledine: <Remind me not to give anyone a hard time about spelling in the future!></div> <div> tacit01: aargh! - she will <any damage from the bite?></div> <div> Missiledine: 1 point</div> <div> Missiledine: lot of blood tho... will need to have it tended lest it scar</div> <div> tacit01: <ouch - might leave a scar> any other opponents?</div> <div> Missiledine: you still have an active, tho damaged, skeleton in front of you</div> <div> Dukejr01: A will help the sacrum guard</div> <div> Missiledine: ok</div> <div> Missiledine: You can come up behind the skeleton and attack it from behind</div> <div> Dukejr01: okay./ all out for +4 to hit</div> <div> tacit01: ok - if it's no longer grappling, than hack at it</div> <div> Missiledine: Athamar... You swing, two handed, striking the creature full across the back (just made that one!) the blow sends it stumbling forward</div> <div> to the guardsman who hacks at it again while side stepping its advance. Between the two of you it collapses to the floor...</div> <div> Missiledine: J. You attack, the skeleton, slowe by its damage is unable to dodge, and you cut clean through its body and spine, sending the</div> <div> broken bones clattering to the floor</div> <div> Dukejr01: A looks around for more opponents.</div> <div> Missiledine: The fight is pretty much over... There are two skeletons still being hacked apart by Sacarium guards, but that is it. A round later, its</div> <div> finished</div> <div> Missiledine: As everyone stands, catching their breath, Derek calls out "Injuries?"</div> <div> Dukejr01: Athamar sees to the men. wounded?</div> <div> tacit01: good - J will rejoin the group, try to stop the bleeding from her cheek</div> <div> tacit01: "2 minor wounds here"</div> <div> Missiledine: One Sacaium Guard took a slash to the face. One took a stab to the arm. A Boma man has a scratch... and Jacinta</div> <div> Dukejr01: A tends wounds with his bag o' herbs and stuff</div> <div> Missiledine: Derek has already worked on the first guard, with the face wound. Looking the group over he decides Jacinta is the next worse and</div> <div> goes to her</div> <div> Missiledine: "Hmm." He murmurs as he takes a cloth and cleans away the blood. Closing his eyes he lays his hand on your cheek and whispers</div> <div> a prayer. Immediately the pain is gone</div> <div> Missiledine: So is the wound. "Put some salve or grease on the skin a couple times a day for the next five days" He says. "That way there will be</div> <div> no scar."</div> <div> Dukejr01: A hands her some salve from his stuff.</div> <div> Missiledine: Miklas laughs, "We wouldn't want that pretty face scarred! We don't have that many of them to look at."</div> <div> tacit01: "Thank you <insert title for priest of Mitra>"</div> <div> Missiledine: <Father, Reverence></div> <div> Missiledine: Derek goes on to the other wounded</div> <div> tacit01: Father</div> <div> Missiledine: Once all the injuries are tended Derek says. "Lets finish this."</div> <div> Dukejr01: Right. we line back up.</div> <div> Missiledine: The line reforms and advances to the next row of jars. Derek says, "It will get harder to turn them as we get closer to the back wall.</div> <div> Watch out, they may charge."</div> <div> tacit01: <J would have fluttered her eyes, overacting at being coy></div> <div> tacit01: <right - KILL!></div> <div> Missiledine: This row only has three Skeletons left in it (the rest have already been dealt with) and the Guard are able to dispatch all three before</div> <div> they can get to their feet to fight.</div> <div> Missiledine: The next row is completely intact and as the jars are knocked over one skeleton after another appears until there are eleven of them.</div> <div> Derek speaks the Holy Words and three of the skeletons retreat to the far end of the room, the rest advance. Without waiting your orders</div> <div> Athamar, your people advance to join the front line</div> <div> Dukejr01: Right. A advances too.</div> <div> Dukejr01: <good thing we called in the Abot, I am thinking></div> <div> Missiledine: Again the room is filled with the clash of steel and the grunts and curses of the fighters. Tho skeletons of course are silent</div> <div> Missiledine: J... You have one opponent... A.. what are you doing? Holding back or attacking?</div> <div> Missiledine: you don't have anyone at the moment</div> <div> Dukejr01: A attacks preferably a skeleton that is occupied. all out +4 to hit.</div> <div> tacit01: swing, block, call the wrath of Mitra down upon the animated bones</div> <div> Missiledine: <I always like to give my spell casters a chance to decide></div> <div> Missiledine: J... you had a critical hit... wiped the creature out with one blow, cut off its head!</div> <div> tacit01: <very comassionate of you, Oh Wizard Oh Wise One></div> <div> Missiledine: A...you miss completely</div> <div> Dukejr01: A grunts</div> <div> tacit01: Woo Hoo - it Mitra's wrath that does that, ya know - J finds another to attack</div> <div> Missiledine: The line of fighters press the attack home. A living opponent would be giving ground, but the undead know no fear and keep on</div> <div> coming</div> <div> Missiledine: A.. you attack again, the Skeleton continues attacking the Sacarium Guard in front of it.. again you miss</div> <div> Dukejr01: <sigh></div> <div> Missiledine: J, the nearest skeleton is engaged with a Boma fighter.. You attack and strike a glancing blow that seems to do no real damage but</div> <div> draws the creature's attention on to you... it attacks with its axe, but you turn it aside with your shield</div> <div> tacit01: ah, well - keep swinging</div> <div> Missiledine: next round... A. You finally land a blow with your staff, swiping it in a backhanded attack that strikes the skeleton across the legs on</div> <div> its weapon side. The blow knocks it to the ground, allowing the guardsman to finish it</div> <div> Dukejr01: Woohoo!</div> <div> Missiledine: J...Your attack is parried by the skeleton, and the Boma man misses his chance.... The skeleton hacks at you... and again you turn it</div> <div> aside</div> <div> Missiledine: Next round... A. You are free this round. J. You attack again.. and hit it hard, sending it staggering backwards to be hit again by the</div> <div> other fighter. It breaks up from the blows</div> <div> Dukejr01: A surveys the battle and looks behind the party to make sure the A-holes who we are looking for aren't sneaking up on us</div> <div> Missiledine: Looking around you see that the fight is about over... Miklas is wrapping a cloth around the upper part of his shield arm where a sword</div> <div> sliced the muscle..... No sign of anyone</div> <div> Dukejr01: A goes to aid Miklas</div> <div> Missiledine: A few seconds later it is over</div> <div> tacit01: regroup, prepare for the next wave</div> <div> Missiledine: Again Derek calls "Injuries!" Two Sacarium guards are hurt, one seems pretty serious, the other is a scratch. Miklas' is not life</div> <div> threatening.</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Glad its not militia doing this."</div> <div> Missiledine: Miklas nods, "Yep, there would be a lot of widows tonight."</div> <div> tacit01: how many jars are left?</div> <div> Missiledine: There are eleven skeletons crowded against the back wall. Derek tends thge seriously wounded Guard, then comes over to Mikla.</div> <div> He looks at the wound then shakes his head. "O'm sorry, you'll have to wait. I need all the rest of my energy."</div> <div> Missiledine: There are perhaps twenty unbroken jars</div> <div> tacit01: k</div> <div> Dukejr01: hmmm... A does his best for Miklas.</div> <div> Missiledine: The line forms up again. Derek says, "This is the last time I will be able to turn. After this there is nowhere for the undead to retreat to</div> <div> and they will attack."</div> <div> tacit01: Jacinta nods understanding</div> <div> Missiledine: "Ready the Drakes!" He calls. The two guards with the tubes unsling them and light the wicks.... "All right! Lets do it!" The next row of</div> <div> jars are shattered, revealing eight skeletons... five will retreat before the power of the Priest, the other three attack but will be quickly dealt with by</div> <div> the Guard</div> <div> Dukejr01: Good</div> <div> Missiledine: You now face the last row of unbroken jars.. there are a few scattered ones in the remaining fifteen feet of room, beforew you get to</div> <div> the clumped skeletons... This is where you destroyed the other group.</div> <div> Missiledine: Derek says, "I will try to turn, but I don't think it will work." He looks tired</div> <div> Dukejr01: how many jars?</div> <div> Missiledine: The men kick the jars over, seven skeletons roll out of the wreckage...Scrambling to their feet. None seem to be affected by Derek's</div> <div> efforts, though some seem reluctant to advance</div> <div> Missiledine: The Guard moves in, along with the second line... The combat begins... You hear Derek yell, "Use the Drakes!"</div> <div> Dukejr01: A attacks.</div> <div> tacit01: kill (or re-kill, in this case)</div> <div> Missiledine: The two guards with the tubes let loose a stream of liquid fire that engulfs two skeletons, igniting the decayed rags and leather parts</div> <div> of their decrepit armor...</div> <div> Dukejr01: <damn undead></div> <div> Missiledine: The skeletons don't immediately go down like a living opponent would. They continue to attack for a round until the flames weaken</div> <div> them to the point where their own weight makes them collapse</div> <div> tacit01: <was wondering about that...></div> <div> Missiledine: Meanwhile..... J. You and a Guard are able to attack a skeleton from both sides... you both hit and it fails to defend either attack... but</div> <div> it is still on its feet. and attacks you, but misses</div> <div> tacit01: wow - swing again</div> <div> Missiledine: Athamar... You find yourself facing a skeleton all by yourself for a round. Out of the corner of your eye you can see Miklas charging in,</div> <div> but he won't be there till next attack....You swing and hit (Surprise!) and the thing fails to parry it, but you don't take it out. It attacks, you fail your</div> <div> defense...2pts through the armor</div> <div> Dukejr01: ow</div> <div> Dukejr01: got it.</div> <div> Missiledine: Next rd... J. You attack.. hit It parries. The Guard, hits... The skeleton fails to dodge and it goes to pieces</div> <div> Missiledine: A.. Miklas shield slams the skeleton, sending the bag of bones flying across the chamber to smash into a wall. He follows closely to</div> <div> hack it down before it rises</div> <div> tacit01: cool - next!</div> <div> Dukejr01: A moves along....</div> <div> Missiledine: Once again the skirmish is coming to a close... Derek has backed out of the fight and is watching the remaining skeletons closely. He</div> <div> says to you. "Thank Mitra they are as dumb as posts! Intelligent opponents would have smashed the jars as they retreated across the room."</div> <div> Dukejr01: "We wold have needed the whole crew here."</div> <div> Missiledine: There is a lull, the atttacking skeletons are bone meal... Derek calls "Injuries?" Other then you, no one responds</div> <div> Missiledine: "Mitra's blessings!" Derek sighs. "My Lord, shall I heal you now?"</div> <div> Dukejr01: A patches himself up</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Rest. Its not deep."</div> <div> Missiledine: Derek nods and turns back to the skeletons. The two guards with the Drakes are pumping them up to recharge them. Everyone</div> <div> seems ready. There are 16 skeletons and three unbroken jars at the end of the room, some fifteen feet away.</div> <div> Missiledine: 'This is it." Derek calls. "Drakes to the flanks."</div> <div> Missiledine: The guards with the tubes move to either end of the line and stand ready. "On my signal," Derek looks up and down the line.</div> <div> "Advance!" The whole line of fighters will move forward. The Fire Tubes discharge at about five feet, engulfing four skeletons in flames. The rest</div> <div> of the line crashes into the animated bones which seem quite willing to fight</div> <div> Missiledine: A, where are you? In or out of the fight?</div> <div> Missiledine: J.. you will have two against you this round</div> <div> tacit01: ok - swing & block</div> <div> Missiledine: Your opening attack will miss completely</div> <div> Dukejr01: A stands out of the fight ready to step in and defends someone. </div> <div> Missiledine: Ehh, J...The first skeleton attacking you rolls a 3! You will take four point through the armor... The second will also hit.. you fail to block..</div> <div> another 1pt through the armor</div> <div> Dukejr01: ow. A goes to help her.</div> <div> Missiledine: Next round one of the Guard will engae one of the two skel;etons</div> <div> tacit01: um - ouch?! <how many points were healed previously, 1 or 2?></div> <div> Missiledine: 2</div> <div> tacit01: good - swing & block again</div> <div> Missiledine: you hit, barely, but it fails its defense, unfortunately its still with you and counter attacks... it hits your shield</div> <div> Missiledine: A.. you step in and swing overhand (all you have room for) and miss completely. But you do have its attention for the next round</div> <div> Dukejr01: goody! All-out-defend.</div> <div> Missiledine: J.. You attack and hit it hard, but it's still a going concern... A, it attacks you with its sword, thrusting at your belly, you barely avoid the</div> <div> blow!</div> <div> Missiledine: Next rd.... You hear someone scream in pain.... J, you miss. The creature continues attacking Athamar...who is desperately fending</div> <div> it off with his staff</div> <div> tacit01: J will try to get in front of it, so that it can't attack A</div> <div> Missiledine: Next rd... J....Crit hit! (Again!)... You hack through it's spine just above the pelvis, shattering the spell that animates it and sending it's</div> <div> bones scattering</div> <div> tacit01: goody - find another opponent</div> <div> Dukejr01: A backs off and sees to the person who screamed</div> <div> Missiledine: Another skeleton, spinning away from a blow by a guardsman, comes up facing Athamar... A will swing, missing</div> <div> Dukejr01: oops</div> <div> Dukejr01: scratch last</div> <div> Missiledine: <I know></div> <div> Missiledine: The skeleton will attack with an axe... missing.. it's movement seems restricted by a crippled leg, probably a gift of it's last</div> <div> opponent.... </div> <div> tacit01: J will defend A</div> <div> Missiledine: The guardsman who sent it stumbling in your direction, follows it, striking from behind as you swing again... He hits, you miss and</div> <div> almost drop your staff.. The skeleton attacks and you manage to dodge it handily</div> <div> Missiledine: J attacks and misses badly, being wrong footed by the need to spin around to face the skeleton (also a roll of 17!)</div> <div> tacit01: <yah, that'd do it></div> <div> Missiledine: Next rd... The skeleton is, remarkably, still upright.. The Guard attacks, J attacks, A attacks... All three of you hit it (!) and it is</div> <div> shattered into its components</div> <div> Dukejr01: Wheee!</div> <div> Dukejr01: A then goes to see to the guy who screamed</div> <div> tacit01: J will find bones to smash, or an ally to aid - or both</div> <div> Missiledine: You all look around in time to see Derek smashing a skull to smithereens with his mace... the fight is over. There is a Guardsman</div> <div> down on the floor. The hilt of a shortsword projecting from his belly</div> <div> tacit01: <ouch></div> <div> Missiledine: There are three untouched jars. Derek waves at them. "Deal with those!" He goes to the downed man</div> <div> Dukejr01: A does so.</div> <div> tacit01: to the jars!</div> <div> Dukejr01: <Once more into the breach!></div> <div> Missiledine: Everyone surrounds the three jars. The Drakes are reprimed. A guard carrying one says, "Someone flip the lids and we'll cook em in</div> <div> the pot."</div> <div> Dukejr01: A extends his staff.</div> <div> Dukejr01: a think this will be fun</div> <div> Missiledine: The guard raises the drake, waiting...</div> <div> Dukejr01: <probably a nastier critter in this one or something></div> <div> Dukejr01: A flips the lid</div> <div> Missiledine: You flick the lid off and he squirts the burning oil down, into the jar... The jar begins rocking as the flkames shoot out the top... then it</div> <div> falls over and breaks, revealing a mass of charred bones and a shortsword</div> <div> Dukejr01: neat</div> <div> tacit01: hee hee</div> <div> Dukejr01: do the same for the others</div> <div> Missiledine: He starts repriming while the other man goes to the next jar</div> <div> Dukejr01: Athamar chuckles in grim satisfaction</div> <div> Dukejr01: next</div> <div> Missiledine: The same thing happens, but this time the jar doesn't fall over... The rocking stops after a few seconds and smoke rises out of it</div> <div> Dukejr01: peek</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Potted undead critter" <like potted meat></div> <div> Missiledine: You see the top of a boney skull and it immediately begins to rise up</div> <div> Dukejr01: next</div> <div> Dukejr01: oops</div> <div> Missiledine: (Sorry, I was onto the next jar already)</div> <div> Dukejr01: oh!</div> <div> tacit01: hack it off at the neck</div> <div> Dukejr01: nevermid</div> <div> Dukejr01: A doesn't peek at it before it gets flamed.</div> <div> Missiledine: The flame inundates it as it rises and it stands there flailing wildly as everyone steps back away from the splattering fire</div> <div> Dukejr01: he peeked at the second one that didn't fall over</div> <div> tacit01: or that</div> <div> Missiledine: ah.. my misunderstand</div> <div> Dukejr01: that works too</div> <div> Dukejr01: Okay. lets police the area and get the wounded man on a litter.</div> <div> Missiledine: It's over... all the jars are broken, all the skeletons shattered</div> <div> tacit01: It's Miller Time!</div> <div> Dukejr01: A suggests that we return to the main courtyard and allow the priest to rest, get the wounded man put and report to the Abbot.</div> <div> tacit01: oh, by the way - ouch!</div> <div> Missiledine: Using shields the guard makes a litter and they pick up their comrade. He's alive, just, thanks to Derek who looks exhausted</div> <div> tacit01: I second that</div> <div> Missiledine: Derek nods and you all head out</div> <div> Dukejr01: A picks up all his cont lights.</div> <div> Missiledine: Counting the ones you destroyed earlier, you took out 47 skeletons</div> <div> Dukejr01: not as many as A feared but more than could be easily handled.</div> <div> Missiledine: As you make your way to the surface, Derek says "Anyone that was bitten or scratched. Please see the Abbot later, in case there are</div> <div> any diseases or infections."</div> <div> Dukejr01: A notes who among his or Boma's men were.</div> <div> Missiledine: ok</div> <div> Dukejr01: A will make a point to make sure they do so.</div> <div> tacit01: yes, boss....</div> <div> Dukejr01: A Lord's got to know these things....</div> <div> Dukejr01: <African or European swallow?></div> <div> Missiledine: Arriving at the surface you make your way down to the Abbot. He is sitting on the chair, sipping wine and listening to the Lt's report..</div> <div> On the ground is a pile of weapons.. You see more Guards carrying out armfuls more.</div> <div> Missiledine: The Lt is saying, "... the jars are full of them. Maybe enough to arm two hundred men. No maker's mark on them either."</div> <div> Dukejr01: A raises and eybrow and goes to look. He signals for his men to put their armfuls down too.</div> <div> Dukejr01: A looks at the arms. good quality? better than the skeletons?</div> <div> Missiledine: The piles are of three types, either shortswords, axe heads without handles or spear points without shafts </div> <div> Missiledine: Yes, they look brand new</div> <div> Missiledine: mostly axes and spears</div> <div> Dukejr01: A whistles.</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Strange"</div> <div> Missiledine: Well, never used anyweay. They have clearly been stored for some time</div> <div> Missiledine: The Abbor picks up a sword and examines it. "May be one of the old Duke's secret caches... May be something more sinister."</div> <div> Dukejr01: Is our wounded man out?</div> <div> Missiledine: He looks at you and Derek. "Looks like you had some exercise."</div> <div> Dukejr01: "I am glad you and your men are here, Your Reverance. I would have lost a number of men without the expertise of the Sacrum Guards and Father</div> <div> Derek, here."</div> <div> Missiledine: Derek says, "Your Reverence, one man is seriously injured." He points to where they are laying the guard on the ground. The Abbot</div> <div> frowns, passes the sword to Athamar and levers himself out of the chair</div> <div> Dukejr01: A looks at the sword. then absently hands it to Miklas.</div> <div> Missiledine: He goes to the man, kneels next to him and examines the wound... After a few moments he lays hands on it and closes his eyes. You</div> <div> can't hear the prayer but you see his lips move. The Guard groans, but seems to relax. Satisfied, the Abbot sits back on his heels and says.</div> <div> "What happened?"</div> <div> Missiledine: Derek will look to you, Athamar, to see if you speak first</div> <div> Missiledine: (Few more minutes here)\</div> <div> Dukejr01: "We cleared the room where the first half dozen skeletons were discovered by my men the other day, in total, 47 undead were hidden in clay jars." A</div> <div> gestures to the pile of weapons we brought with us. </div> <div> Dukejr01: "Father Derek, was, of course, instumental. There were a number of minor wounds." A looks pensively at the wounded man. "Will he recover?"</div> <div> Missiledine: "Hmm." He clambers to his feet, aided by the Guards. To the Lt he says, "Did you see anything else?'" The officewr shakes his head.</div> <div> "No sir."</div> <div> Missiledine: The Abbot nods, "Yes, he will be fine in a few days."</div> <div> Dukejr01: <time check></div> <div> Dukejr01: A looks relieved</div> <div> Missiledine: From another entrance you see the other priest coming out with his group. He is carrying a strange looking square rack with a crystal</div> <div> dangling from the center of it. He comes directly to the Abbot.</div> <div> tacit01: <it's about bed:30 ></div> <div> Dukejr01: <lol></div> <div> Missiledine: <I know, a bit more to wrap up></div> <div> Missiledine: It's about 1</div> <div> Dukejr01: k, A will see to lunch after hearing whatthe priest has to say</div> <div> Dukejr01: Also, we should get the wounded man to the manor</div> <div> Missiledine: Bowing slightly the priest says, "There is no living creatures larger than a rat in the structure. The last indications of necromantic</div> <div> enchantments have disipated. There is no trace of Demonic essence anywhere to be found.. We did not find any indication of a mass of silver or</div> <div> gold. We did identify iron and steel which has been recovered." He nods to the weapons. "I believe it to be clean."</div> <div> Missiledine: "Hmm," The Abbot looks to you. "What do you think, Lord Athamar?"</div> <div> Dukejr01: "I detected silver the other day. Seems they took it with them. </div> <div> Missiledine: "Undoubtably." The Abbot seems to think for a moment. Then he crooks a finger at a young boy of about 14, one of the Sacarium</div> <div> Guard. The boy hurries over and holds out a wooden case for the Abbot. He opens the case and removes an ornately carved horn.</div> <div> Missiledine: Holding the horn with the wide part to his ear and the tip to his mouth he says, "Your Eminence. I wish to report that the Fangs have</div> <div> been cleared.... No, no loss of life, minor injuries for the most part.... around fifty skeletons and a large cache of weapons.... Yes, we do not need</div> <div> any more troops.... I understand... Yes your Eminence. I will." He puts the horn back in the case</div> <div> Dukejr01: <phone home></div> <div> Missiledine: "Bishop Durr sands his thanks, Lord Athamar. We are always glad to clear up a nest of evil."</div> <div> Dukejr01: Athamar bows slightly. "It is I who is grateful"</div> <div> Missiledine: "He will let Duke Demetrius know that the cavalry troops are not needed and they will be recalled."</div> <div> Dukejr01: A nods</div> <div> Missiledine: "So, that is setteled! Let us have som,e lunch, then we shall decide what to do with this heap!"</div> <div> Dukejr01: A gives orders to that effect. first. get the wounded man to the manor</div> <div> Missiledine: Derek says something to the Abbot who turns to Jacinta. "You were bitten my dear? Please let me see."</div> <div> tacit01: she does</div> <div> Dukejr01: A gets people moving back tot he manor. He sends a messenger to Gallus informing him that we are coming back and to have lunch ready for the Abbot</div> <div> Missiledine: He presses his palm to your cheek and again closes his eyes and whispers a prayer. "There, no ill shall come of it. Not that it was</div> <div> likely, but better to be safe. Any other injuries then?"</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Miklas"</div> <div> Missiledine: "No, no, no, My Lord! We shall pcnic here, then finish up." The Abbot says when he overhears your orders</div> <div> tacit01: she points out her 4pt & 1pt that have not been tended yet - also mentions Miklas, any others she is aware of from our group</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Oh, I see." Athamar shrugs. Nevermind then.</div> <div> Missiledine: The Abbot, Derek when he is recovered, and the other priest will attend all the injuries, A's included. Only the one guard need go back</div> <div> to the manor</div> <div> Dukejr01: A sends him back with militia</div> <div> Dukejr01: Was lunch delivered like A ordered Gallus to do?</div> <div> Missiledine: "There is a task for you to do inside, Lord Athamar. Then we shall be finished." THe Abbot says. "But first, food!"</div> <div> Missiledine: yes</div> <div> Dukejr01: good</div> <div> Missiledine: and we wrap up here for the night!</div> <div> Dukejr01: k</div> <div> Dukejr01: night</div> <div> tacit01: yeah!</div> <div> Missiledine: good night, thanks</div> <div> Dukejr01: thanks for running us.</div> <div> Missiledine: A GM without players is lonely, thank you</div> <div> Dukejr01 has left the room.</div> <div> tacit01: yah, good fight!</div> <div> Missiledine: lol</div> <div> Missiledine: catch ya later</div> <div> tacit01: bed is calling</div> <div> tacit01: later!</div> <div> Missiledine: yep</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
