[Tue Aug 12 19:50:35 2008] : Dan: brb
[Tue Aug 12 19:53:06 2008] : Dan: back
[Tue Aug 12 19:53:50 2008] : DM: Level 10 is an awkward level for random encounters.
[Tue Aug 12 19:54:06 2008] : Adrin: why?
[Tue Aug 12 19:54:41 2008] : DM: To high to fight off packs of wolves, low enough so you're still on the material plane and can't randomly stumble across demons etc.
[Tue Aug 12 19:55:01 2008] : DM: And things like dragons and hydras are too awesome to be simple random encounters.
[Tue Aug 12 19:55:40 2008] : Dan: Packs of other things?
[Tue Aug 12 19:56:24 2008] : Oona: Otherthings, a creature of the random plane, fiercer than wolves, nicer than demons.
[Tue Aug 12 19:56:34 2008] : DM: lol
[Tue Aug 12 19:57:16 2008] : DM: You could go quite far with a race like that. Lots of bizarre, random creatures.
[Tue Aug 12 19:57:40 2008] : Aliatra: LOL
[Tue Aug 12 19:58:10 2008] : Adrin: hybrid monsters
[Tue Aug 12 19:58:32 2008] : Dan: Standard ones with levels?
[Tue Aug 12 19:59:48 2008] : Adrin: Well, I was thinking bits of different monsters and abilities
[Tue Aug 12 19:59:50 2008] : Oona: yep
[Tue Aug 12 19:59:57 2008] : Oona: I'm watching LOST these days
[Tue Aug 12 20:00:01 2008] : DM: Just about ready to start. Sorry for the slow start tonight, I normally review and think during the day but was really busy at work today
[Tue Aug 12 20:00:02 2008] : Oona: and I find it scary
[Tue Aug 12 20:00:10 2008] : Oona: ok good :)
[Tue Aug 12 20:01:02 2008] : Aliatra: Lost has some very scary parts, but I've stopped watching it a year ago. Just lost interest
[Tue Aug 12 20:01:43 2008] : Adrin: I misread that as 'I lost some very scary pants'!
[Tue Aug 12 20:01:49 2008] : Oona: roflmao
[Tue Aug 12 20:01:52 2008] : Oona: excelent

[Tue Aug 12 20:03:05 2008] : DM: You're in a old dragon's cave having just counted out and divided its substantial loot.
[Tue Aug 12 20:03:45 2008] : Adrin: "Ok, I take back what I said about not being bothered about finding this stash"
[Tue Aug 12 20:04:09 2008] : Oona: "I think now is time to go back, store or sell that stuff and go on to that funky village to find that "agent""
[Tue Aug 12 20:04:17 2008] : Dan: ooc err, we've pre-sold the loot
[Tue Aug 12 20:05:08 2008] : Dan: "Yes, this was a lucrative stopever, but probably not worth having our heads eaten for"
[Tue Aug 12 20:05:08 2008] : DM: ooc the way to the village goes through Southtown anyway.
[Tue Aug 12 20:05:40 2008] : Adrin: "No, but with the owner out of the way already..."
[Tue Aug 12 20:05:57 2008] : Dan: ooc did we go on horseback?
[Tue Aug 12 20:06:32 2008] : Adrin: ooc I kinda assumed so
[Tue Aug 12 20:06:34 2008] : Dan: "I was referring to the tale relayed to us by Asmerdyas Adrin"
[Tue Aug 12 20:06:35 2008] : Aliatra: ooc I did
[Tue Aug 12 20:06:48 2008] : Dan: "About our shadow friend"
[Tue Aug 12 20:06:51 2008] : Oona: "OK, let us go"
[Tue Aug 12 20:06:51 2008] : Adrin: "Ah, yes, good point"
[Tue Aug 12 20:07:02 2008] : Dan: "OK, let's mount up and head off"
[Tue Aug 12 20:07:36 2008] : Adrin: ooc did we split the cash or is it all lumped in the 12k gp on the wiki?
[Tue Aug 12 20:08:09 2008] : Dan: ooc we split is 8000 each
[Tue Aug 12 20:08:20 2008] : Adrin: ooc ok
[Tue Aug 12 20:08:31 2008] : Aliatra: ooc I remember 9,000 *shrug*
[Tue Aug 12 20:08:42 2008] : Dan: ooc err, probably 9000
[Tue Aug 12 20:08:46 2008] : Oona: ooc lol
[Tue Aug 12 20:09:12 2008] : Oona: ooc are there any cool items in 4th ed. ?
[Tue Aug 12 20:09:22 2008] : Oona: ooc like the Otherthings

[Tue Aug 12 20:09:37 2008] : Adrin: ooc Someotherthings?
[Tue Aug 12 20:09:56 2008] : Adrin: Adrin gets on his horse and prepares to leave
[Tue Aug 12 20:10:17 2008] : DM: ooc 4e has your standard D&D stuff.

[Tue Aug 12 20:12:32 2008] : DM: Some days later you're riding along a poor quality road toward the village of Greenmere. The gently rolling landscape around you looks like it was once extensive cultivated.
[Tue Aug 12 20:13:10 2008] : DM: Dotted about are clusters of tumbled down stone cottages, barely more than piles of rock after so many hundreds of years.
[Tue Aug 12 20:13:11 2008] : Adrin: "This looks like old farmland. I wonder where they all went"
[Tue Aug 12 20:13:15 2008] : Aliatra: Booting '(2) Aliatra' from server...
[Tue Aug 12 20:13:16 2008] : Aliatra (exit): 20:13
[Tue Aug 12 20:14:13 2008] : DM: The former hedges are now rows of mature trees and the fields are overgrown with scrub, brambles and clusters of trees.
[Tue Aug 12 20:14:48 2008] : Aliatra: "It sure looks like people used to live her"
[Tue Aug 12 20:15:18 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra doesn't sound too interested
[Tue Aug 12 20:15:19 2008] : DM: Occasionally you pass a remote farmstead, stout stone walls and sturdy wooden gates ringing a yard and a small farmhouse and a few barns and other outbuildings.
[Tue Aug 12 20:15:54 2008] : DM: The farmers and look on distrustfully as you pass by them at work in their fields.
[Tue Aug 12 20:17:15 2008] : Oona: ooc and?
[Tue Aug 12 20:17:30 2008] : Aliatra: "They don't seem very trusting"
[Tue Aug 12 20:17:45 2008] : DM: At around noon on the third day out from Southtown you turn a corner and see slowly plodding towards you on exhuasted horses 4 soldiers in the livery of the king.
[Tue Aug 12 20:17:45 2008] : Dan: "We must look very odd to them"
[Tue Aug 12 20:18:18 2008] : Aliatra: "Odd? Us? How?"
[Tue Aug 12 20:18:49 2008] : DM: As you and the soldiers get nearer you notice that their armour is battered, their livery is torn and bloody and all have bandaged wounds.
[Tue Aug 12 20:18:55 2008] : Dan: Dan arches his eyebrows at Ali
[Tue Aug 12 20:19:25 2008] : Dan: Dan looks at the soldiers with concern

[Tue Aug 12 20:20:09 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: The soliders halt.
[Tue Aug 12 20:20:39 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "Whatever your business along this road you should just turn back now."
[Tue Aug 12 20:20:40 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra halts
[Tue Aug 12 20:20:55 2008] : Oona: "You look indeed to have had a rough time"
[Tue Aug 12 20:21:03 2008] : Adrin: "Whys that?"
[Tue Aug 12 20:21:03 2008] : Aliatra: "Can we be of assistence? I have some healing powers"
[Tue Aug 12 20:21:13 2008] : Oona: "Is that what awaits us at the end of this road?"
[Tue Aug 12 20:22:05 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "Aye, I would be greatful for some healing for my squad."
[Tue Aug 12 20:22:29 2008] : Adrin: "You look like you've been through the wars"
[Tue Aug 12 20:22:48 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "Or what's left of it. Big raiding band of orcs, orges and who knows what else has swept down from the mountains to the north."
[Tue Aug 12 20:23:29 2008] : Adrin: "How big a band?"
[Tue Aug 12 20:23:37 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra goes through the ranks helping the most injured
[Tue Aug 12 20:23:46 2008] : Aliatra: "And how far away?"
[Tue Aug 12 20:24:06 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "There were 6 in my squad and we could do nothing, they tore through us and carried on to Brandon's farmstead."
[Tue Aug 12 20:24:49 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "Must be around two dozen maybe more, and they're only half a day back that way."
[Tue Aug 12 20:26:17 2008] : Dan: "Sound's like Brandon is in need of assistance"
[Tue Aug 12 20:26:59 2008] : Adrin: "Sounds like time for a fight"
[Tue Aug 12 20:27:05 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "Aye, but by the time the message reaches the city and for reinforcements to arrive it'll be too late."

[Tue Aug 12 20:27:36 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: All the soldiers look a lot better now and smile their thanks.
[Tue Aug 12 20:28:11 2008] : Oona: "Anyone we should be looking for there?'
[Tue Aug 12 20:29:05 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "At Brandon's?"
[Tue Aug 12 20:30:14 2008] : Oona: "yes"
[Tue Aug 12 20:30:20 2008] : Oona: "Or elsewhere"
[Tue Aug 12 20:30:36 2008] : Dan: "I could be back in Southtown immediately, and back here tomorrow, or maybe earlier"
[Tue Aug 12 20:30:53 2008] : Oona: "what were you doing in these remote parts?" Just happned to be there or did the villagers call you?"
[Tue Aug 12 20:31:07 2008] : Aliatra: "What do you want to do in Southtown?"
[Tue Aug 12 20:31:38 2008] : Aliatra: "Let's fight first and seek that guy later"
[Tue Aug 12 20:32:00 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "There's only Mr and Mrs Brandon and their young son and daughter. Their's is the last farmstead untill you reach Greenmere another two days away."
[Tue Aug 12 20:32:01 2008] : Aliatra: Aliatra rolls her shoulders as if she fears to grow stiff
[Tue Aug 12 20:32:20 2008] : Dan: "How far to the farmstead?"
[Tue Aug 12 20:33:17 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "We are one of the regular patrols along this road." He turns bitter. "I told the Captain 6 men for the whole road wasn't enough but did he listen..."
[Tue Aug 12 20:33:25 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "Half a day on horse."
[Tue Aug 12 20:33:48 2008] : Aliatra: "Do they ever listen?"
[Tue Aug 12 20:34:12 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "You're not thinking of going there? Those ogre can't half pack a punch and I think there was some magic"
[Tue Aug 12 20:34:27 2008] : Adrin: "Why not? Its something to do"
[Tue Aug 12 20:34:34 2008] : Adrin: Adrin grins
[Tue Aug 12 20:35:08 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "You're crazy." He shakes his head.
[Tue Aug 12 20:35:14 2008] : Dan: "As a practitioner myself, I'm not afraid of the arcane"
[Tue Aug 12 20:35:35 2008] : Oona: "I don't much like magic, but I think my friends here can take care of this"
[Tue Aug 12 20:35:35 2008] : Dan: "And my colleagues are well tooled with magical items themselves"
[Tue Aug 12 20:35:44 2008] : Oona: "Adrin and I will tke care of the non arcane"
[Tue Aug 12 20:36:02 2008] : Adrin: "Times a wasting"
[Tue Aug 12 20:36:19 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "Good luck then. We have to report and request reinforcements so we'd best be on out way again."
[Tue Aug 12 20:36:34 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: "Thanks for the healing."
[Tue Aug 12 20:37:00 2008] : Sargeant Klimt: He kicks his weary horse and the head of again down the road.

[Tue Aug 12 20:47:42 2008] : DM: For further down the track, there's a small rise and you guess the farmstead and the warband lies just beyond it.
[Tue Aug 12 20:47:45 2008] : Oona: "Well, first, leave the horses here, then try and find these creatures, assess the situation, raid, go back to Greenmere"

[Tue Aug 12 20:50:01 2008] : Oona: "And come back so we can elaborate a plan"

[Tue Aug 12 20:51:47 2008] : Aliatra: ooc Please do!
[Tue Aug 12 20:52:51 2008] : Dan: ooc I've been doing the staves wrong - a staff uses my level for variable effects, so the stoneskin lasts longer and absorbs more, as if it was my spell!
[Tue Aug 12 20:52:55 2008] : Oona: ooc yeah, that's good.
[Tue Aug 12 20:53:14 2008] : DM: Sitting in a small valley with a stream and surrounded by small fields of well-tended crops is one of the typical farmsteads of the area.
[Tue Aug 12 20:54:36 2008] : DM: A small house, barn and outbuildings looking onto a yard. The wooden gate is closed and outside, sprawled haphazardly, are around 12 orcs. Some are drumming and others and chanting their gutteral war cries.
[Tue Aug 12 20:55:10 2008] : DM: Three more orcs are chopping away at a small felled tree and appear to be making a crude battering ram.
[Tue Aug 12 20:55:10 2008] : Oona: Oona assesses the situation and sneaks back to her friends
[Tue Aug 12 20:55:17 2008] : Oona: ooc oops

[Tue Aug 12 22:13:27 2008] : Mrs Brandon: "Oh my gosh. They're all dead."

[Tue Aug 12 22:18:28 2008] : Dan: "Possibly they were forced downslope by others who took their normal territory?"
[Tue Aug 12 22:18:35 2008] : Oona: Oona leaves the bodies behind and joins the conversation.
[Tue Aug 12 22:18:52 2008] : Mrs Brandom: Who can say?"

[Tue Aug 12 22:38:41 2008] : Dan: I can't remember a huge amount about him, does that name fit, or is it just vaguely comical in France and the Netherlands?
[Tue Aug 12 22:38:43 2008] : Oona: anyway, good night all!

[Tue Aug 12 22:39:16 2008] : Adrin: Craig, is it your birthday on thursday?
[Tue Aug 12 22:39:25 2008] : Dan: Might be :)
[Tue Aug 12 22:39:36 2008] : Adrin: Facebook never lies :)
[Tue Aug 12 22:39:41 2008] : Aliatra: We can understand the term in Dutch, but I always wondered where the name came from
[Tue Aug 12 22:39:54 2008] : Dan: So not much sense then
[Tue Aug 12 22:40:07 2008] : Dan: The English name for him fits
[Tue Aug 12 22:40:11 2008] : Aliatra: Not really, no
[Tue Aug 12 22:40:36 2008] : DM: Am I the only person without a Facebook account?
[Tue Aug 12 22:41:02 2008] : Adrin: I only made one to play scrabble in work, but its mildly addictive
[Tue Aug 12 22:42:02 2008] : Dan: it is impossible to literally translate Asterix into English much of the time, as French humour is quite radically different to English humour. For example, the bard in Asterix is known as Cacophonix in English, but in French his name means “comprehensive car insurance” – apparently this is hugely funny to the French!
[Tue Aug 12 22:42:07 2008] : Adrin: I've been rating movies a lot recently
[Tue Aug 12 22:42:16 2008] : Adrin: lol
[Tue Aug 12 22:43:10 2008] : Adrin: they should do what they did with the Magic Roundabout and just make it all up

[Tue Aug 12 22:45:06 2008] : Dan: Yeah, apparently the translator had to do her best to keep the spirit of the humour
[Tue Aug 12 22:45:51 2008] : Adrin: Humour rarely translates. Even if you've a common language, so much of it is cultural
[Tue Aug 12 22:46:14 2008] : Aliatra: And puns don't translate at all
[Tue Aug 12 22:46:58 2008] : Dan: Is comprehensive insurance seen as a folly to the French?
[Tue Aug 12 22:47:16 2008] : Dan: Because they are all so 'great' at driving

[Tue Aug 12 22:47:40 2008] : Adrin: lanaguage... sigh
[Tue Aug 12 22:48:07 2008] : Dan: right, better go
