You have just entered room "Dukejr01 Chat42."
revrat235: hello

Missiledine: Hello!
Dukejr01: Ashley's puter not fixed yet
Docportal: I try to be more or less that way. Hi Jim.
Missiledine: Hey!
Dukejr01: I have pumpkin bread and coffee. good to go
Missiledine: hang on a minute, need to catch up some stuff
Docportal: Let me open some stuff and I will be ready.
Missiledine: did you bring enough for everyone?
revrat235: So, Doc- are you a real doctor?
Docportal: Not yet. It is an idea for me but I get along with computers better. I am a computer doctor at most.
revrat235: Just curious. I'm a real Reverend.
Dukejr01: I have enought for 4 yes.
Missiledine: Ok, pass it around
Docportal: Ok Duke how many mile are there between us?
Dukejr01: ITs in the kitchen. next to the stove. Feed thyselves.
Missiledine: gee, thanks
Dukejr01: Ummm... Alot. I am in South Dakota.
revrat235: |_D mmm.. coffee...
Docportal: Yap. I am in gorgia.
Dukejr01: <booted rpg music.....>
Docportal: <Good to go>
Missiledine: Ok, time to kick some PC butt....
Dukejr01: <you always say that>
revrat235: uh oh.
Missiledine: <Yes, is that Corren or Athamar speaking now?>
Dukejr01: Corren is going to apply Andorras's hand to the one point of fireball damage he recieved from Sharkey when his arm was clipped. that should heal it.
Dukejr01: <Athamar is getting his butt kicked>
Dukejr01: <is = IS>
Missiledine: When we ended Corren, Vance, Rolb and Thorin had returned to the main hall from the basement level.
Missiledine: Vance and Thorin cleaned up, put on some clothes and armor, had something to eat and were introduced
Missiledine: <hang on a sec guys, my son is calling me <sigh> again...>
Docportal: <k>
Dukejr01: <ahhhh.. Loreeena McKinnit has such a nice voice>
Missiledine: <back>
Dukejr01: <front!>
revrat235: <side>
Missiledine: <sigh....>
Dukejr01: <Pardon... too much caffeine>
Missiledine: right.... Ok, Corren. The balm will restore the one point of damage remaining from the fireball
Dukejr01: cool
Dukejr01: Corren will haul out zombie corpses while the otehrs are feeding and restoring themselves.
Missiledine: once everyone is dressed, equipped, fed, healed and so forth... what do you do?
Missiledine: Haul them where?
Dukejr01: outside.
Dukejr01: we should take the heads of the men we killed too.
Dukejr01: Corren suggests going down and exploring the celler some more. the escaped brigands muct have gone thataway.
Docportal: "I think we need to find were my gear may be at. I would like to have most of it back."
Missiledine: Rolb agrees, "Probably through the door in Sharkey's bed room"
Docportal: What room is Sharkey's?
revrat235: Yes. I should like to leave with what I arrived with.
Missiledine: "Back through those double doors." Rolb points the way
Dukejr01: Corren makes sure the door in the main room is closed and bolted. then we go to the bedroom
revrat235: I follow
Missiledine: ok
Docportal: I follow to the bed room.
Dukejr01: Corren gestures for one of the others to help pull the bed out of the way. then open the door
Missiledine: The inner chamber is heavily draped with thick layers of fabric, some of which has been yanked off the wall to reveal a door
Dukejr01: Corren gives a torch to rev.
Missiledine: There is a bed pushed up against the door
Docportal: I look around the room quickly. Looking for old books, cubbe holds also.
Missiledine: you don't see anything like that
Dukejr01: Corren will go down the stairs first. shield and sword.
Docportal: I ask Corren, "Did you all come by a libbry by chants?"
Dukejr01: "No."
Docportal: "Well I am just wondering where this Sharkey keeps his books."
Missiledine: the steps are narrow and twist to the right as they descend
Missiledine: <With his accountant!>
revrat235: I give a quick look around the bedroom
Dukejr01: Corren will proceed cautiously.he will crouch every three steps and examine the next three looking for anything unusual.
Dukejr01: evidence of a LACK of wear, craks, tripwires, etc
Missiledine: The bedroom has the bed, which is an ornate four poster, which has been pushed all over the room, a nightstand, a small table and
two chairs
revrat235: I follow down stairs (cautiously)
Missiledine: the steps look used, all of them, and the passage down is clear of cobwebs etc
Dukejr01: k. Corren moves a little faster then
Docportal: I will move slowly but keep up with the group.
Missiledine: The stairway spirals down and ends with an iron gate barring access to a narrow tunnel that runs to the left and right. There is a
chain and padlock around the gate and the side bar
Missiledine: the gate is locked
Docportal: Is the lock rusttie?
Dukejr01: Corren stops and listens. then if he hears nothing, he will approach the gate.
Dukejr01: test
Missiledine: no, the lock is well oiled and regularly used
Dukejr01: iron link chain?
Missiledine: probably
Docportal: Any good sizes rocks around?
Dukejr01: Corren will approach the gate. and stick his torch thru. he will look left and right. then look at the chain. he has Armoury, he determines the chains
material
Missiledine: no, the tunnel, though cut through the earth and stone, is pretty well used, that sort of junk is long since removed
Docportal: Is there any rocks that look losse on the walls?
Missiledine: You can stick the torch through without a problem, but you can only see about three feet in either direction do to the recess of the
gate from the tunnel
Dukejr01 has left the room.
Dukejr01 has entered the room.
Missiledine: not without digging at the walls
Dukejr01: arrgh
Dukejr01: Okay. iron chain?
Docportal: I will try to digge in to the wall a little.
Missiledine: your armoury skill leads you to think that the chain is iron
Missiledine: using your sword?
Missiledine: to dig
Dukejr01: Corrn picks a spot on the chain to bit with his axe. something he can use the gate as an anvil on.
Missiledine: hmmm, ok...
Docportal: Using my hands.
Dukejr01: Corren mutters "Gotta learn lockpicking..."
Missiledine: you hit it, where you intended... sparks fly, the whole gate rattles... a nick appears in the chain.. it's still there
Missiledine: ok Vance, your digging at the wall
Dukejr01: rattles? is there a weakenss in the fabric? not set properly?
Dukejr01: test
Missiledine: well the chain allows a bit of play in the gate
Dukejr01: okay. corren whacks he chain again.
Dukejr01: <I appear to have lag, btw>
Missiledine: again you hit it... again there are sparks and a rattling noise, then a piece of link falls to the ground and the chain hangs free
Missiledine: <ok>
Dukejr01: pull the chain free.
Missiledine: easily done, the gate creaks slowly open
Dukejr01: Corren steps in,. he moves left.
Docportal: as soon as I see the gate is free I quit missing with the roocks.
Missiledine: ok
Missiledine: the tunnel goes left and right, it's about 4' wide at this point
Dukejr01: look down both ways.
Docportal: "There are 4 of us. Should we split up?"
Dukejr01: which way should lead to the other part of the celler we were in?
Missiledine: when the gate is fully open it almost blocks the tunnel. You notice an iron ring in the far wall that seems to be there to lock the gate in
the open posistion
revrat235: I would prefer to stick together.
Missiledine: you think that is to the left
Dukejr01: "Ah. that is how the ghouls were freed.
Dukejr01: Lets check down that way quick. left
Dukejr01: "Okay. you two stay here while we go tak a quick look left. I will call if its not the passage to the place you were kept"
Missiledine: ok
Missiledine: The tunnel is about fifteen feet long, curving sharply to the right, it opens on a familiar chamber... stairs up, dead ghouls etc
revrat235: I look a little ways down the right, but stay within a few steps of the door
Docportal: "ok" I go back to the far wall a way from the gate and try to hide myself more or less in the shadows.
Dukejr01: Right. return to the corridor.
Missiledine: Thorin, the tunnel ahead of you curves to your left, ahead you see a door on your right
Missiledine: the tunnel itself continues on
Dukejr01: Corren approahes the door.
Dukejr01: Look up the corridor then turn to the door. locked, barred, what?
Docportal: I follow corren down the corridor.
Missiledine: Doc, the tunnel is about four foot wide, there is nowhere to hide
Docportal: <Oh well, I tryed.>
Missiledine: looking up the corriderr you see that it widens ahead to a set of double doors some thirty feet up
Missiledine: The door in front of you is locked
Docportal: I put my ear to the door to see if anything is behind it.
Dukejr01: from the inside?
Missiledine: the tunnel widens to twelve or fifteen feet at the double doors
Dukejr01: is the door reinforced?
Missiledine: The door you are at is made of thick oak with iron banding and bolts. The lock is internal
Dukejr01 has left the room.
Dukejr01 has entered the room.
Missiledine: <having problems eh?>
Dukejr01: <laaaaag>
Missiledine: Thorin, what are you up to?
revrat235: I listen at the door
Dukejr01: get my last? Is the door reinforced?
Missiledine: which door Thorin? Single or double?
revrat235: the single
Missiledine: Yes, I saw that. Did you see my descript?
Dukejr01: nope
Dukejr01: <sorry>
Missiledine: Okay, Thorin, Vance and Corren are all at that Door... Rolb will squeeze past you and look to the other doors
Missiledine: The door you are at is made of thick oak with iron banding and bolts. The lock is internal
Dukejr01: Corren goes with Rob.
Docportal: So I can't hear anything.
revrat235: I'll proceed to the double doors
Missiledine: no sounds from the other side'
Docportal: I then try to look thought the key hole.
Docportal: If there is a key hole
Missiledine: okay Vance, yes there is a key hole... you don't see any light, but you do catch a whiff of something... It smells like spices
Docportal: I pass this on to the others.
Missiledine: the double doors are also locked... If anything they seem more massive then the last set.... Someone has spent a lot of money on
these three doors
Dukejr01: Corren grunts.
Dukejr01: What does the double doors look like?
revrat235: I go sniff the keyhole he just told us about
Missiledine: they are oak, reinforced with iron
Dukejr01: oak again?
Dukejr01: k
Missiledine: ok Thorin
Dukejr01: Corren sighs. "Definitely going to learn lockpicking."
Dukejr01: Corren takes out his axe.
Docportal: Just off the wall Idea here how about we open the one door. First then the other.
Missiledine: Rolb says, "stay the axe a wee, lad."
Dukejr01: Corren pauses. slings it. takes a drink of beer.
Dukejr01: <test>
Docportal: <I read you>
Missiledine: passed
Dukejr01: <going to be doing that alot, I think, tonight>
Missiledine: <ok>
Dukejr01: Corren looks Rolb questioningly
revrat235: Hey guys, umm, I think this might be the kitchen.
revrat235: a kitchen
Dukejr01: "More like the a storeroom."
Docportal: "The Room my still have more than one door behind it."
Missiledine: "I be thinkin, there must be a key ere abouts.. Peraps in sharkey's quarters."
Dukejr01: "Could have taken it with him. but it won;t hurt to look. We can also check on Dawn."
Missiledine: "I dunna ken abot that, why be puttin such an expensive lock on the kitchen?"
Dukejr01: Corren returns wence we came. he goes to the besstand first.
Missiledine: "Sharkey left in a wee bit of a hurry." Rolb points out
revrat235: Spices aare expensive- and there are definately ones in there I can't recognize
Missiledine: The bedstand has a drawer
Dukejr01: "Aye. Lets check"
Dukejr01: Open the drawer. pull it out.
Missiledine: Opening it you find a small silver box
Docportal: I also check the bed.
Dukejr01: Corren picks it up.
Missiledine: maybe 3" x 4"
Missiledine: the clothes of the bed are fine linens and inported silks
Dukejr01: corren tuens the drawer upside down once he has emptied it.
Missiledine: imported
Dukejr01: turns
Missiledine: nothing underneath
Dukejr01: Open box
Missiledine: there is a fine grey powder inside
Docportal: can I flip the mattes?
Dukejr01: Corren shows it to Rolb.
Missiledine: yes, it is a feather bed on a roped suspension
Missiledine: "Ahh! Careful with that lad! That be Mali."
Dukejr01: Corren makes sure that the powder is not disturbed by the mattress flipping
Dukejr01: Corren closes the box.
Docportal: Do I feel anything heave in the Mattress?
Dukejr01: "Nice box. though."
Missiledine: "Or Das-Mali." Rolb adds thoughtfully
revrat235: I go upstairs and help search
Missiledine: No, but it is an expensive mattress
Dukejr01: Corren hands the silver box to Rolb. then turns the bedstand upside down.
Missiledine: nothing to be seen
Docportal: I check the wall for hindden compartments
revrat235: I also scrounge for anything that might do as a lockpick
Missiledine: Where are you looking/scrounging?
Docportal: And the floor also
Dukejr01: Corren checks the table and chairs next. then the walls behind he curtain, where a hook with key might be suspended.
revrat235: the other room, where we ate.
Missiledine: ok... corren, while looking ariound the walls you spot something hanging on the wall at the top of the steps down... it is a key
Dukejr01: "Gotcha!"
Dukejr01: Corren takes it. "Lets go!"
Dukejr01: Corren leads the way again.
revrat235: return to bedroom
Missiledine: ok
revrat235: Hey- found one!
Docportal: I want to make sure there is not hidden compartments in the room.
Missiledine: Ok Vance... you are searching the walls and floors...
revrat235: follow Corren down
Missiledine: You find, in the area where the bed once stood, a fine seam in the floor. Tracing it around you find it to be rectangular in shape and
about 1 foot x 1 foot in dimension
Missiledine: Corren and Thorin go back down
Docportal: I will try to open it.
Missiledine: it is very tight and very carefully fitted
Dukejr01: <you do realize that Corren and probably Rolb will object if you start looting stuff from THEIR kills?>
Missiledine: it is impossible to get a blade in it
Missiledine: Rolb will come over and say, "You'll need a hammer or an axe fer that I be thinkin."
Docportal: I stabe the wood in the middle and try to pull it up
Missiledine: He offers you a hatchet
Missiledine: it almost feels as though it is somehow locked or held along the sides
Docportal: I take the hatchet and look at the sides again.
Missiledine: all you see are tight seams
revrat235: I try the key in the lock of the spice-smelling door
Dukejr01: Corren wil hand him the key.
Dukejr01: Corren readies sword and shield
Docportal: I use the hatchet and try to cut my way in quickly.
Missiledine: Thorin has a second key
Dukejr01: oh. cool.
Missiledine: Thorin, your key fits that door
Dukejr01: <didn't realize>
revrat235: open cautiously
revrat235: sword ready
Missiledine: Vance.. Hacking at the panel splits the wood after three or four blows
Docportal: I will pull it open slowly.
Missiledine: T&C... There is another set of steps, this time going straight up
Dukejr01: Corren follows them up.
revrat235: I follow corren
Missiledine: Vance... Below is a cubby hole about a foot and a half deep. In it you will find a leather bag, a roll of papers and a flask
Docportal: I pull it all out and show Rolb what I have found.
Missiledine: The steps seem to come up in the middle of a dark room... raising the torch you see you are in a room about thirty by thirty, full of
crates, barrels, bales, bundles etc of all different sizes and descriptions
revrat235: begin searching.
Dukejr01: Corren Does a perimeter. looking for anyone hiding and any exits.
Missiledine: "Well, I wonder what we have here?" Rolb says and pokes the sack with a dagger. You hear the bag clink
Missiledine: The walls are of log, chinked tightly with clay... There are no windows or doors. The roof is visible, it is of planks
Dukejr01: "Bet this is on the island outside the manor. Clever idea"
Dukejr01: "Lets go"
Missiledine: Looking around the room you will notice a pile of weapons, armor etc on a table
revrat235: look closer
Dukejr01: Corren goes over to examine them
Missiledine: You see your father's bow in the pile
Missiledine: also your armor
revrat235: good. I have my bow.
Dukejr01: Corren examines he rest
Missiledine: a miscellaneous assortment of weapons... bows, crossbows, swords of varying types... about twenty all together. None seem
extrordinary to your eye
Missiledine: all look to be of fair quality
Missiledine: average that is
Dukejr01: okay. "Get your stuff. Then lets go
Dukejr01: Corren goes to inform Rolb.
Docportal: I will open the bag.
Missiledine: You see gold inside!
Docportal: <I can go for that>
Docportal: I hand the bag over to Rolb
revrat235: I take my stuff. then go to inform the others.
Missiledine: He takes it and puts it in his satchel, "That be a weight I dunno mind carryin!"
Dukejr01: When Corren returns: "Found a storeroom. Lots of weapons and armour."
Docportal: "I would like you to take me there. My stuff might be there"
Missiledine: "And Vance here found a bit of gold!" Rolb shows him the bag
revrat235: well- That's a good find.
Dukejr01: Corren grins. "Lets go. then"
Dukejr01: Corren returns
revrat235: I lead back to the storeroom
Missiledine: Rolb goes with
Dukejr01: Corren looks around the room. "This is a clever storeroom. Safe. Going to have to give Rhone some of this stuff."
Docportal: I look at the armor take anything that is mine
Missiledine: Vance... You can find your sword and armor in the storeroom...along with your crossbow and spear
Dukejr01: Corren pokes at a bax or two. "Get your tuff. Lets be after them"
Dukejr01: box
Docportal: I get my stuff then. Follow the others.
Dukejr01: Corren goes to the double doors and trys his key
Missiledine: does not fit
Dukejr01: "Try the other one"
Dukejr01: "This one is probably for the padlock."
Dukejr01: Corren readies sword and shield
Missiledine: The other one doesn't work either
Dukejr01: Corren sighs.
Docportal: I go back and check the cubby again for a key and get what I forgot the first time.
Dukejr01: Corren looks inside the stairway thru the other door down here.
revrat235: I ask if everybody got thier stuff from the storeroom.
Missiledine: Ok Vance... There is a roll of papers and a flask still in the cubby
Docportal: I open the papers.
Missiledine: a key falls out... it is tied to a small, carved piece of bone
Missiledine: <Only you and Vance were missing anything>
Docportal: I take the key and the papers and the flask. back down to the others.
Missiledine: ok
Missiledine: This key does seem to fit
Docportal: As I go I try to see if the papers has anything on it.
Dukejr01: "Careful. What is that bone thing?"
Dukejr01: "Can you read?"
Missiledine: there are five sheets of good quality paper... three of them are legible, the other two are a jumble of letters, numbers and symbols
revrat235: I can- a little
Dukejr01: Corren looks at Rolb
Docportal: "I can read some of it."
Dukejr01: Corren turns the key. he touches the key with bare flesh.
revrat235: When we stoart to unlock the door, I ready my bow
Missiledine: The lock clicks.... the door opens in
Dukejr01: push the door
Docportal: I ready both broadsword.
revrat235: aim through the door... wait....
Dukejr01: the other side. corren stays shielded by the one side
Missiledine: <Both broadswords?
Missiledine: both broadswords
Missiledine: Which door are you pushing in? Left or right?
Dukejr01: Corren will stay left and kick the right with his foot.
Missiledine: ok
Missiledine: The door is heavy, so it swings in slowly... Beyound is a large chamber, the largest you've seen down here, about thirty deep and fifty
wide...
Missiledine: There is a large table to the left, with a litter of odds and ends on it... To the right the room is dominated by instruments of torture... In
the center, alone, rests a coffin
revrat235: anything moving?
Missiledine: nothing you see
Dukejr01: Corren looks at the ceiling and floor.
revrat235: relax bowstring, but keep ready.
Missiledine: the floor is of beaten clay and flat stones, like the rest of the place. The ceiling is vaulted and maybe twelve feet high
Dukejr01: Corren steps in.
Missiledine: ok Thorin
Missiledine: As you step in, you see to either side of the door, a row of upright, armed and armored figures...
revrat235: go in. start looking around (causiously avoiding the coffin)
Dukejr01: Corren steps back
revrat235: jump back
Missiledine: Almost immediately the two closest to either side, take a step forward, turn, raise weapons and advance... You retreat, but you hear
others start moving
Dukejr01: Corren sets himself to the left. shield/sword. "More of the same."
revrat235: Run away run away! I retreat to a save firing distance (try anyway)
Missiledine: <lol>
Docportal: I stand my ground waitting for them to come to me.
Dukejr01: "Bow won;t help much against these, Hunter. Try your sword.
Missiledine: you can back about twenty feet before the tunnel's curve obscures your line of sight
Dukejr01: how many can stand abreast in the widened area before the door?
revrat235: what sort of armor are they wearing?
Missiledine: three and swing safely. Four if you limit it to thrusting
Missiledine: under the robes you see bits and pieces of a variety of armors, leather, studded leather, scale, some chain
Dukejr01: "Three abreast. Go get a Spear from that table up yon, Thorin"
revrat235: how about heads?
Docportal: I take up one of the 3 spots and ready to fight.
Missiledine: helms of varying types
Missiledine: The first two out the door are armed with a broadsword and an axe... They each have a medium shield as well
Dukejr01: Corren step readies. Swing/block.
Missiledine: Behind them you see two with some type of axe headed polearm
Dukejr01: great
revrat235: I run & grab a spear
Missiledine: ok Thorin
Docportal: I will swing/block
Dukejr01: "Hard fight this. Ware second rank."
Missiledine: Ok... Corren is on the left, posistion 1... Vance, center (2) or right (3)?
Docportal: I am 2
Missiledine: ok
Docportal: <Both of the others have shields. I don't
Missiledine: The first two spread out, allowing one of the paloarms to take the center
Missiledine: Corrin you have the swords man, Vance the polearm, Rolb the axe
Dukejr01: Corren blocks the one in front and attacks he polearm to the right.
Dukejr01: well, not the polearm itself.
Docportal: I will attack the polearm man. Swing/block
Missiledine: ok... you have initiative
Missiledine: Corren, you hit the polearm carrying zombie... But it seems unimpared by the gaping wound...
Missiledine: Doc, you have no shield
Docportal: Swing/parry
Missiledine: ok... One attack?
Docportal: yes.
Missiledine: You also take a hunk out of the zombie, but it still comes on!
Missiledine: Corren, you are almost staggerd by the blow that you take on your shield from the swords zombie
Dukejr01: Corren grunts.
Missiledine: It's strength is amazing!
Dukejr01: Stronger than the others?
Missiledine: Vance, the polearm slices at you, but you parry it, barely
Docportal: Ok nexts round. All out attack. Going for the neck.
Missiledine: yes, it is the strongest so far
Dukejr01: any exposed flesh or completely incased?
Missiledine: their faces are exposed
Dukejr01: k
Missiledine: You still have initiative... Corren, attack again?
Missiledine: vs polearm zombie?
Dukejr01: yes
Missiledine: Doc... All out attack, what kind?
Docportal: Two attacks swing.
Dukejr01: <good luck>
Missiledine: Corren, you miss your attack
Dukejr01: Corren swears.
Missiledine: Vance, you miss both attacks
Docportal: I look shocked.
Missiledine: The zombie on Corren hammers your shield again...
Dukejr01: <bad joss Taipan!>
Missiledine: Vance, you are hit for 9 points...
Missiledine: The pole arm slices you across the body, Your still alive though!
Missiledine: Vance, do you hold your ground or fall l back?
Docportal: I step back a few feet.
Dukejr01: great
Missiledine: Corren, you now have two on you
Missiledine: Rolb is heavily engaged with the axe zombie
Dukejr01: Corren All out defends this next round.
Missiledine: Okay Corren, you block the sword attack again, but the ploearm slips past your guard and does 4 points to you
Dukejr01: k
Docportal: I charge the Ploearm zombie trying to run it thought.
Dukejr01: can Corren get inside the polearms reach where the sword wielder can't get at him?
Missiledine: Corren, to step into the polearm, will put the swordsman (err, zombie) more on your flank
Dukejr01: k
Missiledine: Vance... You extend both swords and charge straight at the zombie to impale it
Missiledine: This is another all out attack..
Missiledine: The zombie, slow on its feet, is unable to avoid the rush... Both blades sink deep into it and the creature stumbles backwards and
falls, impaled on your blades The weight of the zombie wrenches one blade from your hand, you
Missiledine: still hold the other though... Beyond it is another zombie, also with a poleaxe... it raises the weapon to cut you in half!
Docportal: Try to step out of the way.
Missiledine: The polearm slashes down... whizzing past you by a bare inch
Docportal: Now step on to the polearm now that it is on the ground.
Dukejr01: Block, swing on the swordsman.
Missiledine: Corren, your attack is blocked by the zombie's shield...it's blow is blocked by your shield
Dukejr01: k
Missiledine: Vance, you try and step on the polearm before the zombie can ready it again
Missiledine: You get your foot on the haft, but the zombie's strength is greater then you thought, he wrenches it upwards, causing you to stumble,
but you stay on your feet
Missiledine: Again you have initiative...
Dukejr01: Block/swing.
Docportal: all out defending
Missiledine: Corren, you get past the thing's guard, but it doesn't seem to do much damage through it's armor
Dukejr01: chain?
Missiledine: Vance, you parry the polearm attack
Missiledine: scale
Docportal: "Thorin Get my shield that is behind me on the floor and hand it to me!"
Dukejr01: does it take a round or two to ready after a polearm attack or is it strong enough to ready quickly?
Missiledine: Out of the corner of your eye you see Rolb and the zombie on him exchange hits on each other... The zombie goes down... Rolb
staggers, but is on his feet
Dukejr01: Swing/block
Dukejr01: are there any more zombies?
Missiledine: oh yes! Plenty more to go around
Dukejr01: great
Dukejr01: Corren drops his sword and all out defends while he shrugs off his glove on his right hand.
Missiledine: ok
Missiledine: Vance goes on the defensive while he concentrates on kicking the polearm from the destroyed zombie, back behind him
Missiledine: Corren, you easily avoid the zombie's attack
Dukejr01: k
Dukejr01: next round. block/slap it in the face. go close combat if necessary.
Missiledine: Vance... The zombie again attacks with the poleaxe, but just as he starts his swing, a flaming arrow appears, as if by magic, in its
face! The creature misses its attack
Docportal: <Rev>
Missiledine: next round.. Zombies get the initiative this time!
Dukejr01: <smart>
Missiledine: Corren, your's misses...
Dukejr01: good. slap it in the face like an outraged debutante!
Dukejr01: :-P
Missiledine: Vance.. The zombie on you swings blindly, or so it seems, as though confused by the flames
Docportal: swing attack.
Missiledine: The zombie misses
Missiledine: Corren, you slap it... The thing takes a step backwards and collapses
Missiledine: Vance, you hit... cutting a wound to its mid section
Dukejr01: Corren steps up to the next one
Docportal: <how many in the door that I can see?>
Missiledine: four more, so far unengaged
Docportal: I will try to reach for my other broadsword. wail defending myself
Missiledine: another arrow hits the zombie on Vance... this one hits an eye! The creature falls backwards, unmoving
Missiledine: Vance, you are free to act this round... Going for the sword?
Docportal: yes
Missiledine: ok
Missiledine: Another arrow skewers the zombie on Rolb, again hitting the creature in the eye... It doesn't collapse from the shot, but Rolb's follow
up blow takes it out
Dukejr01: cool
Missiledine: Vance, you have your sword for the next round... Corren, there are four unengaged zombies left, two are coming through the door.
Both with swords
Dukejr01: Block/slap.
Missiledine: slapping? Okay
Dukejr01: or poke, whatever.
Dukejr01: corren is engaged on two?
Missiledine: You have initiative
Docportal: Back up some and ready my swords.
Missiledine: no, just one, unless you want two?
Dukejr01: no!
Dukejr01: block/bitchslap the one, thanks.
Missiledine: ok Corren, you miss your slap! The zombie hammers your shield
Dukejr01: k
Missiledine: Vance, the second zombie through the door is coming at you... He has a shield and sword
Dukejr01: <Corren ponders buying a quality shield from that Dwarf armourer...>
Docportal: swing/parry
Missiledine: ok Vance, you hit it, but it keeps coming... though it misses you this round
revrat235: <Thorin ponders learning an ignite missle spell>
Dukejr01: <you are a mage?>
revrat235: <no, just an idle thought,,,>
Missiledine: The next round a fourth arrow hits the home, AGAIN hitting the eye of the zombie! This time against the one on Vance
Docportal: all attack if it is still up and moveing.
Missiledine: Corren, block/slap?
Dukejr01: yep
Missiledine: Corren misses, badly...
Dukejr01: Corren cusses.
Missiledine: The zombie on him again is blocked
Missiledine: Vance... how are you attacking?
Docportal: swing attacks
Missiledine: one or two attacks?
Docportal: Two attacks
Missiledine: ok
Missiledine: you hit both times, but the zombie blocked the first attack.. The second got through tho and, combined with the arrow damage, it's
enough to take it out
Dukejr01: <woohoo!>
Missiledine: there are two still coming out and one on Corren and one on Rolb
Docportal: How do Corren and Rolb look?
Dukejr01: Corren is annoyed
Docportal: <lol>
Missiledine: A glance at Corren reveals that he has dropped, or lost his sword, and is fighting barehanded... Rolb is bleeding some and looks
tired, but is still going.
Docportal: I go and help Rolb take out his zombie
Missiledine: The zombies get initiative
Missiledine: The two in the room are pushing on out... The one on Corren hacks at him... gets past the shield and does! 2 points... (2 points? All
that rolling and its a lousey 2 points? Sheeesh!)
Dukejr01: I like 2 points
Missiledine: Rolb's zombie attacks, but is parried by Rolb
Dukejr01: I would prefer 0 points.
Missiledine: <After armor>
revrat235: <I see i'm not the only one praying to the GOD OF DICE...>
Docportal: <Well of coures not>
Missiledine: Corren, as you raise your hand to slap the zombie's face, an arrow slices past and cuts the zombies cheek, just missing the eye
Dukejr01: <test>
Missiledine: <yep>
Docportal: <passed>
Missiledine: Corren, you slap again, this time the zombie avoids it..
Dukejr01: arrrg
Dukejr01: Corren is one behind! this is unacceptable!
Docportal: "Rolb go take a rest. I will take care of this one."
Dukejr01: <doc, there are 4 zombies left>
revrat235: "Rolb- back here!"
Docportal: I thought we were down to 2.
Missiledine: Rolb ignores both of you and continues fighting
Missiledine: One on Corren, one on Rolb, two coming out the door
Docportal: <Ok I read that as two: One on Corren and one on rolb.>
Missiledine: Vance, your attack against Rolb's zombie... hits... The zombie fails to dodge
Missiledine: AND TWO COMING OUT THE DOOR
Docportal: <Got you>
Missiledine: But your blow still doesn't finish him
Missiledine: Next round... Vance, you will be attacked by two
Missiledine: you have initiative
Dukejr01: Block/slap
Docportal: Attack the one on Rolb and parry the other.
Missiledine: Corren, again your opponent blocks your blow
Dukejr01: <dov you are being attacked by two this round
Missiledine: Vance, ok
Missiledine: You strike at the one on Rolb, but it blocks the blow.
Dukejr01: Corren cusses again.
Missiledine: TRolb attacks and is parried
Dukejr01: its all out defending?
Missiledine: Corren, the zombie gets through your guard and deliveers a powerful blow for 5 points (No, just lucky!)
Dukejr01: k
Missiledine: Vance, the two attacking you both hit... You fail to parry and take 1 point then fail your dodge and take 5 points... you go down
Dukejr01: shit
Docportal: <yap shit.>
Missiledine: Rolb's misses
Missiledine: One zombie turns towards Corren the other to Rolb
Missiledine: Corren, the zombie on you takes an arrow in the eye and stumbles back and collapses
Dukejr01: yay!
Dukejr01: Block/slap
Missiledine: Rolb continues to hack it out
Missiledine: Corren, you manage to slap this time, hitting the new zombie square in the face... it collapses
Dukejr01: yay!
Dukejr01: Corren will move on to help Rolb
Missiledine: Rolb parries and blocks both zombie attacks
Dukejr01: let me know if I get surprise...
Missiledine: no, sorry
revrat235: How many left?
Dukejr01: k, Block/slap
Missiledine: 2
Missiledine: both on Rolb... now rolb and Corren
Missiledine: Zombies got initiative1
Dukejr01: fast buggers
Missiledine: Corren, you block its attack... then slap it full in the face, it crumples
Dukejr01: woohoo!
Missiledine: Rolb blocks his, then counter attacks and takes it out!
Missiledine: All down! Including Vance
Dukejr01: Corren drops to one knee. he pulls out his medical kit
Missiledine: ok
revrat235: I run to give first aid.
Dukejr01: Corren gets out bandages and starts applying them to Vance.
revrat235: (Bringing some of that linnen)
Missiledine: Rolb looks around, "Good shootin there Thorin, ye saved us I be thinkin, you and Corren."
Dukejr01: "I only accounted for three." Corren looks a bit chagrined.
revrat235: Umm... Guys? I have a confession to make.
Docportal: <Your a mage>
Missiledine: "Aye, but ye did it when we were abot dun in."
Dukejr01: <is this your charactor talking?>
revrat235: I don't know how to use a spear.
Missiledine: <lol>
Docportal: <nope but it was fun trying to guess>
Missiledine: Rolb begins to chuckle... He takes out a flask and offers it to Thorin.
Dukejr01: Corren chokes out a laugh. "I will teach ye. tis a good thing you used your father's bow"
revrat235: thanks. =gulp=
Dukejr01: Corren applies bandages and wound mud to Vance and then himself
revrat235: I help with bandaging
Docportal: <What was my killed count?>
Dukejr01: Corren looks round the room, is there an exit?
Missiledine: You each get back 1 point from the first aid
Dukejr01: yay!
Docportal: Am I awake?
Dukejr01: "Best get Vance upsttairs into bed"
Missiledine: you will come to in a few minutes, but you are very weak and groggy
Dukejr01: "Rolb, did ye bring any healing grass?"
Missiledine: "Aye, I have a wee pinch fer me pipe."
revrat235: I'm going to collect the lamp and linen, then see if I can salvage any previously fired arrows.
Dukejr01: "Ugh. Save it. maybe there is some around here."
Missiledine: You saw plenty more upstairs in the storeroom
Dukejr01: Coren helps drag Vance upstairs. get him comfortable, check on Dawn. look in the Armoires for healing grass.
Dukejr01: "Look in the storeroom for healing grass. Do ye know what it smells like?"
Missiledine: you don't see any
revrat235: Yeah- I'll look.
Dukejr01: okay. None in the armoire. Corren helps look in the storeroom.
Dukejr01: we should lock this double door again.
Dukejr01: just in case.
revrat235: Good idea.
Missiledine: Most of the spices here are imported and valuable... but they are mostly for cooking etc
Dukejr01: hmmmmm
Docportal: Ok I wake up now. (just an idea)
Dukejr01: you are awake, but groggy.
Missiledine: you will find a few of the more commo0n herbs, Tobacco, etc
Dukejr01: k, any other likely places for healing grass?
Dukejr01: is the flask found in the cubbyhole labeled or sealed?
revrat235: I'm going to look around for some more arrows and lamp oil. maybe I can be prepared next time.
Docportal: I take out the flask I found and check it.
Missiledine: the flask is unlabeled and sealed
Dukejr01: k
Dukejr01: were there any other exits from the room we just fought in?
Missiledine: Rolb says, "Mabbe in yon room with the coffin and table?"
Missiledine: you didn't see any
Dukejr01: "Lets take a look."
Dukejr01: Corren makes a point of not wincing as he walks.
Dukejr01: he drinks beer.
Dukejr01: <beer is good for the blood. really>
Dukejr01: Corren sharpens the end of historch with his axe
Docportal: <Will some open the coffin>
Missiledine: Back at the double doors, which you locked by the way
Dukejr01: Corren will unlock them again.
Missiledine: ok... who goes in first?
Dukejr01: Push open the left side with the sword.
Missiledine: ok
revrat235: UUUUUHHHH--- IS THIS REALLY SUCH A GOOD IDEA?!?
Missiledine: nothing happens
Dukejr01: corren pushes open the right side with his body and moves in
Dukejr01: he crouches as he does so
Missiledine: the room appears empty
Dukejr01: "What do you suggest we do?"
Dukejr01: Corren does a perimeter. look for exits.
Docportal: <open the coffin>
Missiledine: <Are you there Doc?>
Docportal: yes
Missiledine: ok... you open it?
Docportal: Tho I will retreat at the first sign of trouble.
Dukejr01: "hold on"
revrat235: Wait- let me get ready
Dukejr01: Corren finishes looking for doors and takes a look at the table.
revrat235: I ready an arrow and aim into the coffin (or rather, at...In once it's open...)
Missiledine: there are no doors... the table is littered with bottles, jars, odd instruments etc... One thing in particular strikes you.. It is s a large
glass bottle, perhaps 3 gallons in size, that appears to be full of...blood
Dukejr01: "Disgusting." Corren looks for healing grass.
revrat235: "Am I the only one with a bad feeling about this?"
Dukejr01: "Big jar of blood here."
Missiledine: <lol>
Docportal: I pass Corren the flask I have.
Missiledine: there are a number of containers taht are sealed, but nothing you see looks like healing grass
Docportal: "how about tea?"
Missiledine: some of the bottles have liquids in them... want to taste them?
Dukejr01: "No doors..... How did those guys get out?"
Docportal: "no but Corren can."
Docportal: "I think the coffin is not a coffin."
Dukejr01: "Lets take the coffin outside before opening it"
Docportal: "Ok lets push it then."
revrat235: ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THAT?"
Docportal: "Yes"
Dukejr01: Corren inspects the coffin.
Dukejr01: is it attached to the floor?
revrat235: oh god oh god oh god
Missiledine: Thorin... You start feeling queasy all of ythe sudden... your knees go weak and you are beginning to shake all over
Docportal: <lol>
Dukejr01: Corren looks at him.
revrat235: DON"T OPEN IT!
Missiledine: you really need to sit down for a few minutes
Dukejr01: "Are you okay?"
revrat235: Baaaaaaaa!
revrat235: ack
revrat235: er.....
revrat235: -sits down-
revrat235: -hard-
Dukejr01: Corren looks at Rolb.
Docportal: I look at all of you.
Missiledine: Rolb shrugs, "Ave seen such befer. summat times after a fight a man gets a tad sick."
revrat235: ...no...i'm...okay...
Missiledine: "That, or 'es dyin."
Dukejr01: "Well. maybe we should unbolt the doors on the way out to the sunshine. and prop them open, then run this here thing outside"
revrat235: im ok...im ok....im ok...
Missiledine: "Tis a long way ta day light." Rolb says
Docportal: "We could tire it shot and take it out.
Missiledine: "Gotta drag it up them steps to."
Dukejr01: "Aye. any better ideas?"
Missiledine: "Nah, not really."
Dukejr01: "Chop a hole in the wall of the storhouse? shorter to carry it to daylight"
Missiledine: Rolb snorts, "I dunno ken abot ye, but I dunno want to chop a door in yon log block house1"
revrat235: ...light is good...is it really warm in here?...
Dukejr01: "Okay. I will unbolt and prop the doors open."
Dukejr01: Corren goes and does so.
Missiledine: "Are we up ta slayin what ever might be a restin in yon box?"
Dukejr01: "Probably not"
Dukejr01: "Can we afford to leave it here to get up in the middle of the night?"
Missiledine: "Then do we really want ta open it now? Or bide a wee?"
Missiledine: You have a few hours before sunset
revrat235: what's in the coffin?
Missiledine: "Mebbe the mage should be doun ere with us?"
Dukejr01: Coren sighs. "Okay. lets clear out this room, takethat bottle of blood and destroy it. and lock the door. rest an hour look around for some more for
healing."
revrat235: WHAT'S IN THE COFFIN? Is this what I think it is?
Missiledine: "aye, I think it fer the best."
Dukejr01: "We don;t know."
Docportal: "hat do you think it is????"
Dukejr01: Corern gathers all teh shit on the table.
revrat235: i dont know. i bet its bad.
Docportal: "Dud!"
Missiledine: <lol... well gents, its going on 2 and I need to get some rest! Next week..."What IS in theat coffin!">
