[Wed Jan 6 21:02:39 2016] : Hildy: ooc ok
[Wed Jan 6 21:03:46 2016] : Akiak: Akiak knocks an arrow and shoots
[Wed Jan 6 21:04:28 2016] : Akiak: At this stage, she's trying to find a spot that will bring the creature to release Hildy
[Wed Jan 6 21:05:13 2016] : Akiak: Shortbow+1: Attack: [1d20(3) + 16] = 19 - Damage: [1d4(3) + 3] = 6 HP.
Attack2: [1d20(7) + 11] = 18 - Damage: [1d4(2) + 3] = 5 HP.
[Wed Jan 6 21:05:17 2016] : DM: Miss
[Wed Jan 6 21:05:24 2016] : Akiak: done.
[Wed Jan 6 21:05:29 2016] : Hildy: ooc I won't be grappled
[Wed Jan 6 21:05:32 2016] : DM: Vaddyn?
[Wed Jan 6 21:05:40 2016] : DM: ooc oh yeah, freedom of thiny
[Wed Jan 6 21:05:49 2016] : Hildy: ooc I already used liberation this round
[Wed Jan 6 21:05:58 2016] : Vaddyn: "Stop! Stop! What are you doing?"
[Wed Jan 6 21:06:32 2016] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn tries to get between Hildy and the Couatl
[Wed Jan 6 21:07:17 2016] : Hildy: "I'm merely trying to find out what sort of creature this is, before you free it"
[Wed Jan 6 21:07:22 2016] : Vaddyn: "We should let it go Hildy. Its been held prisoner for years"
[Wed Jan 6 21:07:29 2016] : Hildy: "It could be the demon we're after"
[Wed Jan 6 21:08:31 2016] : Vaddyn: (to the couatl) "You're not a demon, are you? Tell him"
[Wed Jan 6 21:09:01 2016] : Hildy: "If that's the case then a few more minutes won't hurt"
[Wed Jan 6 21:09:01 2016] : Couatl: "I am no demon! The one the seek lies many levels below. I sense its black, oily aura even from here."
[Wed Jan 6 21:09:25 2016] : Couatl: "Why won't you let me be free? I just want to fly under the sun once more."
[Wed Jan 6 21:09:29 2016] : Vaddyn: "See Hildy, he might be able to help us"
[Wed Jan 6 21:10:13 2016] : Hildy: "You dominated our friend here"
[Wed Jan 6 21:10:26 2016] : Hildy: "You have to understand how we might feel about that"
[Wed Jan 6 21:10:36 2016] : Couatl: Diplomacy check
[Wed Jan 6 21:10:36 2016] : Vaddyn: "Now why would he do that?"
[Wed Jan 6 21:11:00 2016] : Hildy: Diplomacy: [1d20(19) + 6] = 25
[Wed Jan 6 21:11:29 2016] : Couatl: "I thought you might be evil. But I see that you are not, even if that one (glares at Akiak) shot at me."
[Wed Jan 6 21:11:43 2016] : whispering to Vaddyn, The charm is dismissed.
[Wed Jan 6 21:11:53 2016] : Akiak: "You had a go at my friend!"
[Wed Jan 6 21:12:06 2016] : Hildy: "I have a spell that can prove the same of you"
[Wed Jan 6 21:12:12 2016] : Akiak: ooc I'm still invisible btw :D
[Wed Jan 6 21:12:14 2016] : Hildy: "Can I use it?"
[Wed Jan 6 21:12:27 2016] : Couatl: ooc it can sense where you are.
[Wed Jan 6 21:12:48 2016] : Couatl: "What spell?" (slightly suspiciously)
[Wed Jan 6 21:12:54 2016] : Vaddyn: ooc psionic?
[Wed Jan 6 21:12:58 2016] : Hildy: "Detect evil"
[Wed Jan 6 21:13:15 2016] : Couatl: "Go ahead. I am not evil."
[Wed Jan 6 21:13:27 2016] : Hildy: Detect Evil: Level 1 - Detect Evil in 60ft cone while concentrating for up to 10 minutes
[Wed Jan 6 21:13:40 2016] : whispering to Hildy, The couatl is not evil
[Wed Jan 6 21:13:56 2016] : Hildy: ooc if I'd started with that, we might have saved ourselves some bother ;-)
[Wed Jan 6 21:14:14 2016] : Couatl: ooc not much point in turns anymore
[Wed Jan 6 21:14:15 2016] : Vaddyn: ooc sure wheres the fun in that?
[Wed Jan 6 21:14:26 2016] : Hildy: "OK, it's not evil"
[Wed Jan 6 21:14:37 2016] : Couatl: "Then you will set me free?"
[Wed Jan 6 21:14:41 2016] : Vaddyn: "I told you that"
[Wed Jan 6 21:14:43 2016] : Hildy: "Stand down Akiak, this is not the demon we are looking for"
[Wed Jan 6 21:15:01 2016] : Hildy: "Yes Vaddyn, but your motives have been subverted"
[Wed Jan 6 21:15:10 2016] : Akiak: Akiak appears again
[Wed Jan 6 21:15:18 2016] : Hildy: "Yes, I see no reason not to free you"
[Wed Jan 6 21:15:22 2016] : Akiak: "I am sorry for the arrow"
[Wed Jan 6 21:15:33 2016] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn rolls his eyes at Hildy
[Wed Jan 6 21:15:38 2016] : Hildy: ooc you missed anyway ;-)
[Wed Jan 6 21:15:57 2016] : Vaddyn: "Lets get the other set of doors open"
[Wed Jan 6 21:16:08 2016] : Hildy: "You were lucky not to fall foul of the spell in my armour when you hit me"
[Wed Jan 6 21:16:24 2016] : Hildy: "OK Vaddyn"
[Wed Jan 6 21:16:29 2016] : Couatl: "I'm am sorry I bit you."
[Wed Jan 6 21:16:41 2016] : Couatl: It casts cure moderate wound on you. [2d8(5,8) + 9] = 22
[Wed Jan 6 21:16:47 2016] : Hildy: "Couatl... would you release our friend please?"
[Wed Jan 6 21:16:56 2016] : Hildy: Healing: Regain 22 HP.
|| HP Status 86 out of 86.
[Wed Jan 6 21:17:00 2016] : Couatl: "I have no hold on your friend anymore.
[Wed Jan 6 21:17:05 2016] : Hildy: "Mistakes happen"
[Wed Jan 6 21:17:37 2016] : Couatl: The door handles are stiff and the door is partly jammed but you manage to open it.
[Wed Jan 6 21:17:38 2016] : Hildy: "Thankfully nothing too serious today"
[Wed Jan 6 21:17:52 2016] : Couatl: The couatil makes for the door and the daylight outside.
[Wed Jan 6 21:17:55 2016] : Vaddyn: "You know, even though you charmed me, I would probably have reacted the same way to everything"
[Wed Jan 6 21:18:03 2016] : Hildy: ooc LOL
[Wed Jan 6 21:18:05 2016] : Vaddyn: "Good luck"
[Wed Jan 6 21:18:07 2016] : Couatl: "Oh to feel the sun upon my wings again!"
[Wed Jan 6 21:18:13 2016] : Vaddyn: ooc that was the plan after all :)
[Wed Jan 6 21:18:22 2016] : Couatl: "Thank you friends! I hope I can repay you for your aid!"
[Wed Jan 6 21:18:52 2016] : DM: The creature swiftly flies upwards and away. and is quickly out of sight.
[Wed Jan 6 21:19:07 2016] : Hildy: ooc OK, I needlessly burned my arour curse, a level 4 and a level 3 spell there (as well as lower ones!)
[Wed Jan 6 21:19:09 2016] : Akiak: "That was weird"
[Wed Jan 6 21:19:14 2016] : DM: 3200 XP each
[Wed Jan 6 21:19:20 2016] : Vaddyn: "Agreed, Akiak"
[Wed Jan 6 21:19:37 2016] : Hildy: "At least we didn't end up finding out too late"
[Wed Jan 6 21:20:04 2016] : DM: With the creature gone you can turn your attention to the rest of the level. The small door leads to servant quarters and kitchens, there's nothing of interest or value here.
[Wed Jan 6 21:20:51 2016] : DM: The way down to the next level is blocked by a plain, grey metal door, firmly set into the stone doorframe.
[Wed Jan 6 21:21:20 2016] : Hildy: "Akiak, over to you"
[Wed Jan 6 21:21:25 2016] : DM: Upon the door is a series of brass buttons. The alphabet from A to Z and a large round button with a curious symbol.
[Wed Jan 6 21:22:42 2016] : Vaddyn: "Anyone want to push that big button?"
[Wed Jan 6 21:22:45 2016] : Vaddyn: ooc brb
[Wed Jan 6 21:23:52 2016] : Akiak: "Ah, a riddle..."
[Wed Jan 6 21:23:55 2016] : Akiak: "let me see"
[Wed Jan 6 21:25:50 2016] : Akiak: Disable device: [1d20(9) + 21] = 30
[Wed Jan 6 21:25:52 2016] : Akiak: Perception: [1d20(2) + 15] = 17
[Wed Jan 6 21:25:58 2016] : DM: ooc oops, ignore the other symbols for now.
[Wed Jan 6 21:26:03 2016] : Akiak: Trying to see if there are traps in there?
[Wed Jan 6 21:26:28 2016] : DM: The door is trapped. The wrong combination will trigger an electric spark.
[Wed Jan 6 21:26:41 2016] : DM: There is no way to disable the trap without opening the door.
[Wed Jan 6 21:27:16 2016] : Akiak: "Well, we need to find the combination, or ... well, be fried"
[Wed Jan 6 21:27:23 2016] : Akiak: "Ideas?"
[Wed Jan 6 21:27:31 2016] : Vaddyn: Intelligence: [1d20(9) + 1] = 10
[Wed Jan 6 21:27:41 2016] : Vaddyn: "Not really"
[Wed Jan 6 21:28:09 2016] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn has a good look at the buttons (Take 20)
[Wed Jan 6 21:28:11 2016] : Vaddyn: Perception: [1d20(18) + 9] = 27
[Wed Jan 6 21:28:37 2016] : whispering to Vaddyn, You detect the faint traces of a minor illusion just above the buttons.
[Wed Jan 6 21:28:44 2016] : DM: Vaddyn will save.
[Wed Jan 6 21:28:58 2016] : Vaddyn: Will: [1d20(13) + 7] = 20
[Wed Jan 6 21:30:01 2016] : DM: Vaddyn sees through a minor illusion and spots a set of faintly glowing symbols, roughly drawn above the buttons.
[Wed Jan 6 21:30:09 2016] : DM: ooc see image above
[Wed Jan 6 21:30:13 2016] : Vaddyn: "Its an illusion"
[Wed Jan 6 21:30:28 2016] : Vaddyn: "Look, just above"
[Wed Jan 6 21:30:31 2016] : DM: Having pointed them out you can all see them.
[Wed Jan 6 21:31:42 2016] : Akiak: "Oh, I see them now'
[Wed Jan 6 21:31:45 2016] : Vaddyn: ooc knowledge roll?
[Wed Jan 6 21:32:13 2016] : DM: ooc you can try one
[Wed Jan 6 21:32:40 2016] : Vaddyn: Lore Master - Take 10 : Vaddyn takes 10 on his next knowledge roll
[Wed Jan 6 21:32:41 2016] : Vaddyn: Knowledge Dungeoneering: LoreMaster: [10 + 11] = 21
[Wed Jan 6 21:32:42 2016] : Hildy: Knowledge Religion: [1d20(3) + 10] = 13
[Wed Jan 6 21:33:18 2016] : Akiak: Knowledge Engineering: [1d20(10) + 5] = 15
[Wed Jan 6 21:33:27 2016] : DM: The symbols do not look familar.
[Wed Jan 6 21:35:13 2016] : DM: They are clearly split into 5 groups. 3 groups of 2 symbols, a single symbol on its own and another group of 2.
[Wed Jan 6 21:36:06 2016] : Akiak: ooc I am not understanding this grouping
[Wed Jan 6 21:36:24 2016] : DM: What bit don't you understand?
[Wed Jan 6 21:36:31 2016] : Hildy: "I have no idea"
[Wed Jan 6 21:37:16 2016] : Vaddyn: "Nor I, Hildy."
[Wed Jan 6 21:37:19 2016] : Akiak: ooc the whole group thing you just mentionned. I don't see any "groups" in the symbol you've drawn on the board
[Wed Jan 6 21:37:43 2016] : Akiak: ooc ah now I have
[Wed Jan 6 21:38:20 2016] : DM: ooc it's the evil wizard's postit note with the password on, but in code.
[Wed Jan 6 21:38:32 2016] : Vaddyn: "Could the upside down triangle mean a V?"
[Wed Jan 6 21:39:41 2016] : DM: Feel free to experiment with the buttons it might give more clues
[Wed Jan 6 21:39:58 2016] : DM: (the shock is probably mild and not deadly)
[Wed Jan 6 21:40:01 2016] : Vaddyn: "How about we try something and then press the button using a chair leg?"
[Wed Jan 6 21:40:10 2016] : Hildy: "Hold on a sec"
[Wed Jan 6 21:40:35 2016] : Hildy: Resist Energy (Communal): Level 3 - Grants temporary resistance 20 to an energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic); Duration 100 minutes divided by the number of recipients
[Wed Jan 6 21:40:42 2016] : Hildy: ooc Electricity
[Wed Jan 6 21:40:54 2016] : Hildy: "Try it now"
[Wed Jan 6 21:41:01 2016] : Hildy: "We should be OK"
[Wed Jan 6 21:41:17 2016] : Vaddyn: "5 groups, 5 letters?"
[Wed Jan 6 21:41:56 2016] : Akiak: "Possibly"
[Wed Jan 6 21:42:25 2016] : Hildy: Hildy touches X, O and I, then the big button
[Wed Jan 6 21:43:28 2016] : DM: As you touch the letters they illuminate. You touch the big button but it does nothing except the letters go dark again.
[Wed Jan 6 21:44:05 2016] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn presses H I L D Y and then the big button
[Wed Jan 6 21:44:17 2016] : Akiak: ooc lol
[Wed Jan 6 21:44:36 2016] : DM: The letters light up and when you press the button there's a spark and the letters go out again.
[Wed Jan 6 21:45:05 2016] : Akiak: Akiak presses BIPHJ
[Wed Jan 6 21:45:12 2016] : Akiak: drawing a cross on the board
[Wed Jan 6 21:45:20 2016] : DM: The same thing happens.
[Wed Jan 6 21:45:52 2016] : Akiak: KEMS
[Wed Jan 6 21:45:58 2016] : Akiak: ah no
[Wed Jan 6 21:46:03 2016] : Akiak: RLTY
[Wed Jan 6 21:46:06 2016] : DM: Nothing happens with only 4 letters.
[Wed Jan 6 21:46:23 2016] : Vaddyn: "Looks like its 5 letters"
[Wed Jan 6 21:46:37 2016] : Akiak: and ooc I was trying to draw the signs on the board with letters
[Wed Jan 6 21:48:26 2016] : Hildy: "OK, but the symbols make no sense to me"
[Wed Jan 6 21:48:42 2016] : Akiak: Akiak starts looking around, trying to find a way to decypher the whole thing. Looking for a book, a scrap of paper, an etching in the wall, anything.
[Wed Jan 6 21:48:49 2016] : Akiak: Perception: [1d20(6) + 15] = 21
[Wed Jan 6 21:48:56 2016] : Akiak: ooc taking 20 if I can
[Wed Jan 6 21:49:06 2016] : DM: You search carefully but don't find anything that looks useful.
[Wed Jan 6 21:49:52 2016] : Akiak: Akiak then takes an extremely long time to examine the letters on the board. To see if any are more "used" that others (look cleaner, dirtier, more polished)
[Wed Jan 6 21:49:56 2016] : Akiak: Taking 20 again.
[Wed Jan 6 21:49:59 2016] : Akiak: Perception: [1d20(2) + 15] = 17
[Wed Jan 6 21:50:04 2016] : Hildy: HIldy tries 6 letters... ABCDEF
[Wed Jan 6 21:50:23 2016] : DM: After the 5th letter, subsequent ones do not illuminate
[Wed Jan 6 21:50:49 2016] : whispering to Akiak, The following letters are more worn: A, K, O, V and Z.
[Wed Jan 6 21:51:47 2016] : Akiak: Ah!
[Wed Jan 6 21:51:51 2016] : Akiak: "I can see something"
[Wed Jan 6 21:52:24 2016] : Akiak: These letters seem to be more worn than others, which would suggest they have been used more often
[Wed Jan 6 21:52:33 2016] : Akiak: A, K, O, V Z
[Wed Jan 6 21:53:13 2016] : Akiak: Akiak points them to her friends
[Wed Jan 6 21:53:25 2016] : Akiak: These letters seem to be more worn than others, which would suggest they have been used more often
[Wed Jan 6 21:53:33 2016] : Akiak: "These letters seem to be more worn than others, which would suggest they have been used more often"
[Wed Jan 6 21:53:37 2016] : Akiak: ooc sorry lol
[Wed Jan 6 21:53:44 2016] : Vaddyn: ooc hehe
[Wed Jan 6 21:54:30 2016] : Akiak: "That is still a load of combinations"
[Wed Jan 6 21:55:10 2016] : Akiak: Akiak tries them in that order
[Wed Jan 6 21:55:13 2016] : Akiak: AKOVZ
[Wed Jan 6 21:55:13 2016] : Hildy: "Try Z as number 2?"
[Wed Jan 6 21:55:49 2016] : DM: ooc 120
[Wed Jan 6 21:56:05 2016] : DM: *zap*
[Wed Jan 6 21:56:50 2016] : Akiak: "What if A, being the first letter, was equivalent to the 4th symbol, the smallest, purest one?"
[Wed Jan 6 21:57:02 2016] : Akiak: "Can we make the others out from there?"
[Wed Jan 6 21:57:42 2016] : Vaddyn: "Or Z if you count from the end"
[Wed Jan 6 21:58:00 2016] : Akiak: Akiak tries VZOAK
[Wed Jan 6 21:58:30 2016] : DM: *zap* but the light on the A lingers for a bit longer before extinguishing.
[Wed Jan 6 21:58:40 2016] : Hildy: Hildy tries KOZAV
[Wed Jan 6 21:58:55 2016] : DM: O and A are correct.
[Wed Jan 6 21:59:19 2016] : DM: and Z sorry
[Wed Jan 6 21:59:42 2016] : Hildy: VOZAK
[Wed Jan 6 22:00:03 2016] : DM: *click* the door swings open revealing a flight of stairs downwards.
[Wed Jan 6 22:00:13 2016] : Vaddyn: "Nice guess Hildy"
[Wed Jan 6 22:00:27 2016] : Hildy: "Umm, not sure how I got that"
[Wed Jan 6 22:00:50 2016] : DM: ooc shall I reveal all now or leave it until next week?
[Wed Jan 6 22:01:05 2016] : Hildy: ooc may as well do it now
[Wed Jan 6 22:01:07 2016] : DM: GAME END
[Wed Jan 6 22:01:13 2016] : Akiak: ooc yeah ;)
[Wed Jan 6 22:01:14 2016] : Hildy: Cheers David
[Wed Jan 6 22:01:23 2016] : Akiak: Cheers, that was cool :D
[Wed Jan 6 22:01:23 2016] : Vaddyn: I'd love to figure it out, but I've no idea at all
[Wed Jan 6 22:01:31 2016] : Vaddyn: clue?
[Wed Jan 6 22:01:34 2016] : DM: Ok. Each symbol is a number
[Wed Jan 6 22:01:37 2016] : Akiak: I think my A thing was on to something
[Wed Jan 6 22:03:19 2016] : DM: Look away from the map if you don't want to be spoiled.
[Wed Jan 6 22:04:51 2016] : Akiak: Are we all looking?
[Wed Jan 6 22:04:53 2016] : Akiak: :D
[Wed Jan 6 22:04:59 2016] : Vaddyn: I am
[Wed Jan 6 22:06:27 2016] : DM: Too devious?
[Wed Jan 6 22:06:51 2016] : Akiak: I wouldn't have gotten the base 8 thing. But I was definitely thinking the symbols were numbers.
[Wed Jan 6 22:07:20 2016] : Vaddyn: I did wonder about the 4 digit hand symbol, but just thought it was symbolism
[Wed Jan 6 22:07:43 2016] : Akiak: And Yeah, I also noticed the 4 finger thing
[Wed Jan 6 22:08:17 2016] : Vaddyn: so what is the symbol for 4?
[Wed Jan 6 22:08:31 2016] : DM: A square
[Wed Jan 6 22:08:37 2016] : Vaddyn: figures :)
[Wed Jan 6 22:08:55 2016] : Vaddyn: it what I thought just after asking
[Wed Jan 6 22:09:06 2016] : Hildy: I saw the hand but not the relevance
[Wed Jan 6 22:09:20 2016] : Hildy: Has someone been reading sci-fi?
[Wed Jan 6 22:09:23 2016] : Vaddyn: Thats tough!
[Wed Jan 6 22:09:34 2016] : Hildy: The aliens in Footfall use base 8
[Wed Jan 6 22:09:41 2016] : Vaddyn: true
[Wed Jan 6 22:09:47 2016] : Akiak: The Yuki language in California and the Pamean languages1 in Mexico have octal systems because the speakers count using the spaces between their fingers rather than the fingers themselves.2
[Wed Jan 6 22:09:55 2016] : Vaddyn: :O
[Wed Jan 6 22:10:02 2016] : Akiak: Wikipedia :)
[Wed Jan 6 22:10:25 2016] : Hildy: And there I was thinking that was from your own head!
[Wed Jan 6 22:10:36 2016] : DM: Base 8 is because I'm a computer geek and I wanted fewer number symbols.
[Wed Jan 6 22:10:45 2016] : Vaddyn: was it xkcd that had thing about all numbering system being base 10
[Wed Jan 6 22:11:03 2016] : Akiak: I don't understand base 8 lol
[Wed Jan 6 22:11:04 2016] : Hildy: It was too tough for me David :-)
[Wed Jan 6 22:11:09 2016] : Vaddyn: even base 8 is base 10, its just that 10 == 8
[Wed Jan 6 22:11:13 2016] : Hildy: But still fun
[Wed Jan 6 22:11:15 2016] : Akiak: yeah, too tough for me too.
[Wed Jan 6 22:11:38 2016] : Akiak: but deduction made me reduce the unknown, by placing the A right ;)
[Wed Jan 6 22:11:39 2016] : Hildy: That's true Bert
[Wed Jan 6 22:11:51 2016] : Hildy: Well done Del
[Wed Jan 6 22:11:53 2016] : DM: I actually liked that you solved it by experimenting.
