[Tue Aug 7 21:09:32 2007] : Dan: "Indeed"
[Tue Aug 7 21:11:20 2007] : Aliatra: "Onward?"
[Tue Aug 7 21:11:36 2007] : Dan: "Yes, onward"
[Tue Aug 7 21:12:08 2007] : DM: Two short passageways lead to the great hall, a wood panelled room with carved stone columns.
[Tue Aug 7 21:12:27 2007] : Aliatra: "Finish this floor first?"
[Tue Aug 7 21:12:47 2007] : DM: Sprawled about the room and quite dead are four troglodytes corpses, one of which is mostly eaten.
[Tue Aug 7 21:13:10 2007] : DM: Curled in a corner and sleeping and a wounded dire tiger.
[Tue Aug 7 21:13:16 2007] : DM: Curled in a corner and sleeping is a wounded dire tiger.
[Tue Aug 7 21:14:13 2007] : Adrin: "I guess we know who won"
[Tue Aug 7 21:14:28 2007] : Dan: "Yes, good for it"
[Tue Aug 7 21:14:29 2007] : Aliatra: Aliatra retreats quietly
[Tue Aug 7 21:14:50 2007] : DM: 700 XP for the troglodytes
[Tue Aug 7 21:15:01 2007] : Aliatra: "So what do we do about it? I don't want to kill it but I do want to finish up here before we leave"
[Tue Aug 7 21:15:25 2007] : DM: 790 XP for the dire tiger
[Tue Aug 7 21:16:05 2007] : Dan: ooc woot!
[Tue Aug 7 21:16:18 2007] : Aliatra: iic Nice :-D
[Tue Aug 7 21:16:26 2007] : Adrin: ooc ding
[Tue Aug 7 21:16:44 2007] : DM: ooc there's only three of you not four. It should be more.
[Tue Aug 7 21:17:28 2007] : DM: 1050 XP for the dire tiger.
[Tue Aug 7 21:17:47 2007] : Dan: ooc double woot!
[Tue Aug 7 21:19:13 2007] : DM: ooc the dire tiger as a cyan circle about it's feet, not a red one -- it's not an enemy anymore.
[Tue Aug 7 21:19:22 2007] : Adrin: ooc lol
[Tue Aug 7 21:19:29 2007] : Dan: ooc LOL
[Tue Aug 7 21:19:32 2007] : Aliatra: ooc LOL
[Tue Aug 7 21:19:44 2007] : Adrin: ooc all we need is a ranger to take it as a pet!
[Tue Aug 7 21:20:09 2007] : DM: ooc it'd need to be a level 12 ranger or something like that.
[Tue Aug 7 21:20:14 2007] : Aliatra: ooc Imagine that, walking around with a tiger as big as a horse!
[Tue Aug 7 21:20:30 2007] : Aliatra: ooc What kind of mounts do they make?
[Tue Aug 7 21:21:07 2007] : DM: ooc deadly ones?
[Tue Aug 7 21:21:17 2007] : Adrin: [1d12] => [1] = (1)
[Tue Aug 7 21:21:20 2007] : Aliatra: ooc Possibly ;)
[Tue Aug 7 21:21:25 2007] : DM: ooc reluctant ones?
[Tue Aug 7 21:21:28 2007] : Adrin: ooc argh, damn crappy HP roll
[Tue Aug 7 21:22:17 2007] : Dan: ooc Dang!!
[Tue Aug 7 21:22:57 2007] : Aliatra: ooc Too bad
[Tue Aug 7 21:23:21 2007] : Aliatra: Aliatra sneaks back in and tiptoes to the other exit
[Tue Aug 7 21:23:52 2007] : DM: Which other exit?
[Tue Aug 7 21:24:29 2007] : Aliatra: ooc To the right of the room
[Tue Aug 7 21:25:01 2007] : DM: ooc that didn't help
[Tue Aug 7 21:25:14 2007] : Aliatra: ooc Just going there!
[Tue Aug 7 21:25:34 2007] : Dan: Dan follows
[Tue Aug 7 21:25:42 2007] : Aliatra: ooc Looks like a way out of that room to me :)
[Tue Aug 7 21:26:46 2007] : Dan: "What about this small door first?"
[Tue Aug 7 21:27:15 2007] : Aliatra: "Sure, let's be orderly and methodical (for a change)"
[Tue Aug 7 21:28:29 2007] : Aliatra: Aliatra tries to open the door
[Tue Aug 7 21:28:46 2007] : DM: Inside a a hefty large crossbow mounted on a stand, it's aiming through a hole in the wall to the outside.
[Tue Aug 7 21:29:12 2007] : DM: The crossbow mechanics looks rather complex.
[Tue Aug 7 21:29:23 2007] : Dan: "What the hell is outside to necessitate a crossbow like that?"
[Tue Aug 7 21:29:51 2007] : Aliatra: "Let's have a look"
[Tue Aug 7 21:29:54 2007] : Adrin: "Dont know, it it'll be interesting to find out"
[Tue Aug 7 21:30:00 2007] : Adrin: ooc *but
[Tue Aug 7 21:30:24 2007] : DM: ooc brb
[Tue Aug 7 21:30:29 2007] : Aliatra: Aliatra moves the crossbow so it's aimed at the wall to the side before looking out of the hole
[Tue Aug 7 21:33:57 2007] : DM: Looking through the small opening you get a clear view straight down the main path from the main entrance down to the small stone harbour.
[Tue Aug 7 21:34:57 2007] : Aliatra: "We were lucky not to get shor from here ourselves"
[Tue Aug 7 21:35:02 2007] : Aliatra: shot
[Tue Aug 7 21:35:13 2007] : Adrin: "Yeah, surely they saw us coming"
[Tue Aug 7 21:35:50 2007] : DM: It's the otherside of the mountain from the jetty you entered via.
[Tue Aug 7 21:35:53 2007] : Aliatra: "I wouldn't think so, or the welcoming committee would have been a bit more impressing"
[Tue Aug 7 21:36:03 2007] : Adrin: ooc ah
[Tue Aug 7 21:36:34 2007] : Dan: "Maybe they don't know how to use it"
[Tue Aug 7 21:36:38 2007] : Aliatra: ooc I didn't realise that either, I just read main entrance and harbour
[Tue Aug 7 21:37:12 2007] : Dan: "This whole facility seems to have been made by some other people to the trogs"
[Tue Aug 7 21:37:38 2007] : Adrin: "Yeah, they didn't seem the types to make this place"
[Tue Aug 7 21:38:18 2007] : Aliatra: "Maybe this is where they stored the jewels they mined, a century ago"
[Tue Aug 7 21:38:38 2007] : Dan: "So do we open thses large doors or head up the mezzanine"
[Tue Aug 7 21:38:43 2007] : Aliatra: "Going on?"
[Tue Aug 7 21:38:50 2007] : Dan: ooc these ...?
[Tue Aug 7 21:38:58 2007] : Aliatra: "One floor at a time, I'd say"
[Tue Aug 7 21:39:19 2007] : Dan: "OK, up we go"
[Tue Aug 7 21:39:29 2007] : Adrin: "Up"
[Tue Aug 7 21:39:52 2007] : Adrin: "But lets stay away from Spot in the corner"
[Tue Aug 7 21:39:59 2007] : Aliatra: "Up? Before we've finised here?"
[Tue Aug 7 21:40:23 2007] : Adrin: "This just looks like a main entrance"
[Tue Aug 7 21:40:32 2007] : Aliatra: ooc And what has the DM prepared for us tonight?
[Tue Aug 7 21:40:49 2007] : Adrin: "I'd rather not go out there and leave something between us and our boat"
[Tue Aug 7 21:40:52 2007] : DM: ooc Wait and see ;)
[Tue Aug 7 21:40:57 2007] : Aliatra: ooc On the first floor?
[Tue Aug 7 21:41:28 2007] : Aliatra: ooc Didn't we enter by the main entrance then?
[Tue Aug 7 21:41:46 2007] : Aliatra: ooc /me is confused (just a bit)
[Tue Aug 7 21:41:48 2007] : Adrin: ooc maybe it has 2
[Tue Aug 7 21:41:48 2007] : DM: ooc you entered via the back, service, entrance.
[Tue Aug 7 21:41:57 2007] : Aliatra: ooc ic
[Tue Aug 7 21:42:20 2007] : Dan: Dan makes a circuitous way to the up ramp
[Tue Aug 7 21:42:31 2007] : Aliatra: "Right, up while avoiding Stripey. What kind of animal is he anyway?"
[Tue Aug 7 21:42:58 2007] : Adrin: "A Dire Tiger, and he's called Spot"
[Tue Aug 7 21:44:04 2007] : Rrrrafferr: The dire tiger opens on eye and glares menacingly at Adrin.
[Tue Aug 7 21:44:21 2007] : Aliatra: "He's got stripes, not spots"
[Tue Aug 7 21:44:29 2007] : Rrrrafferr: As if suggesting that calling her Spot will result in a mauling.
[Tue Aug 7 21:44:49 2007] : Adrin: "shhh, I'm only joking"
[Tue Aug 7 21:45:15 2007] : Adrin: Adrin gives the cat a smile
[Tue Aug 7 21:45:20 2007] : Dan: "Let's go... he may remember us as the deliverers of his freedom, but maybe not"
[Tue Aug 7 21:45:23 2007] : Adrin: Adrin gives the cat a smile
[Tue Aug 7 21:45:49 2007] : Adrin: "Agreed"
[Tue Aug 7 21:46:11 2007] : Aliatra: "Nice and easy, no need to panic (I hope)"
[Tue Aug 7 21:47:09 2007] : Adrin: "Just dont make sudden moves or noises"
[Tue Aug 7 21:47:54 2007] : Dan: Dan follows Adrin up the stairs
[Tue Aug 7 21:48:07 2007] : Aliatra: Aliatra glances over her shoulder nervously as she climbs the stairs
[Tue Aug 7 21:48:50 2007] : Adrin: Adrin keeps moves carefully and steadily
[Tue Aug 7 21:51:25 2007] : DM: The heavy, iron studded door at the top of the stairs is closed.
[Tue Aug 7 21:51:59 2007] : Dan: "Looks like it may be the last use of that Knock stone Ali"
[Tue Aug 7 21:52:19 2007] : Dan: "Well, I guess we can see if it's locked first"
[Tue Aug 7 21:52:25 2007] : Aliatra: "Let's check if it's locked first"
[Tue Aug 7 21:52:30 2007] : Adrin: "Can we get those things recharged? Its been pretty useful"
[Tue Aug 7 21:52:42 2007] : Aliatra: Aliatra tries to open the door
[Tue Aug 7 21:53:24 2007] : Dan: "I'm not sure Adrin"
[Tue Aug 7 21:53:35 2007] : Dan: Knowledge: Arcana Skill Check: [1d20+15] => [9,15] = (24)
[Tue Aug 7 21:53:36 2007] : DM: The latch doesn't lift and the door doesn't move at all, not only is it possibly locked it's either wedged stuck or something heavy is pressed against it.
[Tue Aug 7 21:54:03 2007] : Adrin: "No luck?"
[Tue Aug 7 21:54:15 2007] : Aliatra: "Feels like someone barricaded it. Shall we try and smoke them out?"
[Tue Aug 7 21:54:25 2007] : Adrin: "How?"
[Tue Aug 7 21:54:33 2007] : Adrin: ooc brb
[Tue Aug 7 21:55:01 2007] : Dan: "The stone should remove up to two means of blocking a door""
[Tue Aug 7 21:55:05 2007] : Aliatra: "Dan, could you tell them all is clear and the tiger has left the building by the backdoor or something?"
[Tue Aug 7 21:55:16 2007] : Dan: "So locked and barricaded should be removed"
[Tue Aug 7 21:55:40 2007] : Dan: "Umm, yes, the tiger's gone, open up so that I can fireball you"
[Tue Aug 7 21:56:26 2007] : Aliatra: "Something like that, though not exactly with these words, I'd guess. Perhaps you could make it a challenge?"
[Tue Aug 7 21:57:00 2007] : Aliatra: "Like: come out you miserable cowards, we already killed that tiger for you"
[Tue Aug 7 21:57:33 2007] : Dan: "If they were running from the tiger, that just makes us seem more impressive"
[Tue Aug 7 21:57:51 2007] : Adrin: ooc back
[Tue Aug 7 21:58:24 2007] : Adrin: "And given they probably know we killed quitr a few of them already, would you open up?"
[Tue Aug 7 21:59:01 2007] : Aliatra: "I know someone like Adrin would, when challenged. And I might"
[Tue Aug 7 21:59:34 2007] : Adrin: "Well, yes you have a point there"
[Tue Aug 7 21:59:37 2007] : Aliatra: "But if you want to go directly to using the stone that's fine by me"
[Tue Aug 7 21:59:58 2007] : Dan: "I don't think that they are like you, but it's possible that they have a champion who will respond"
[Tue Aug 7 22:00:11 2007] : Dan: Dan shouts in Troglodyte
[Tue Aug 7 22:00:39 2007] : Dan: "Come down you cowards. The tiger is gone, we would have words with you"
[Tue Aug 7 22:00:53 2007] : DM: ooc troglodytes speak draconic
[Tue Aug 7 22:01:04 2007] : Dan: ooc that's what I meant ;)
[Tue Aug 7 22:01:05 2007] : Aliatra: "Ooh, he's such a liar, isn't he?"
[Tue Aug 7 22:01:26 2007] : Dan: ooc not sure how it came out as Troglodyte! :D
[Tue Aug 7 22:01:34 2007] : Aliatra: ooc FFS
[Tue Aug 7 22:01:35 2007] : DM: ooc do you have an amazing bluff or diplomacy roll?
[Tue Aug 7 22:01:44 2007] : Dan: ooc nope
[Tue Aug 7 22:01:57 2007] : Dan: Bluff Skill Check: [1d20+0] => [7,0] = (7)
[Tue Aug 7 22:02:39 2007] : DM: There's muffled sounds of creatures or persons moving around and talking to each other, no move is made to clear the barricade or open the door.
[Tue Aug 7 22:03:23 2007] : Aliatra: "Bah, I don't think they're buying it"
[Tue Aug 7 22:03:58 2007] : Adrin: "Doesn't look like it"
[Tue Aug 7 22:04:32 2007] : Dan: "Unlock it, then force it open past the barricade? The knock spell should loosen the barricade"
[Tue Aug 7 22:04:34 2007] : Aliatra: "Ah well, time for the stone"
[Tue Aug 7 22:05:15 2007] : Aliatra: ooc Who has it? Didn't anyone take it out from my backpackearlier?
[Tue Aug 7 22:05:49 2007] : Aliatra: Aliatra reaches into her pack and gets the stone out
[Tue Aug 7 22:06:14 2007] : Aliatra: "Knock knock"
[Tue Aug 7 22:08:12 2007] : DM: ooc is that just you saying that or are you using the glass egg?
[Tue Aug 7 22:09:20 2007] : Aliatra: ooc I'm using it
[Tue Aug 7 22:09:32 2007] : Aliatra: ooc Sorry about the confusion
[Tue Aug 7 22:10:42 2007] : DM: The lock clicks open and there's a loud rapid scraping noise followed by splitering crash.
[Tue Aug 7 22:10:58 2007] : DM: ooc what comes next will take some time so...
[Tue Aug 7 22:11:01 2007] : DM: GAME END
[Tue Aug 7 22:11:07 2007] : Aliatra: Aww
[Tue Aug 7 22:11:10 2007] : Adrin: hehe
[Tue Aug 7 22:11:42 2007] : Aliatra: I hate it when you do that! :-P
[Tue Aug 7 22:11:42 2007] : Dan: Cheers Dave
[Tue Aug 7 22:12:01 2007] : Adrin: I liked the dire tiger reaction to being called Spot :)
[Tue Aug 7 22:12:03 2007] : Dan: Means that (hopefully) Del gets to do the next bit with us :)
[Tue Aug 7 22:12:11 2007] : Aliatra: Cyan instead of rea, eh?
[Tue Aug 7 22:12:20 2007] : Aliatra: red
[Tue Aug 7 22:12:25 2007] : Dan: Bert how many HPs does out levelo 7 barbarian have??
[Tue Aug 7 22:12:26 2007] : DM: Dire tigers can't really understand common...
[Tue Aug 7 22:12:35 2007] : Aliatra: It will be nice having her here again :-D
[Tue Aug 7 22:13:11 2007] : Adrin: well its d12, so up to 84+CON
[Tue Aug 7 22:13:30 2007] : Dan: sorry out = our
[Tue Aug 7 22:13:40 2007] : Dan: as in Adrin
[Tue Aug 7 22:13:50 2007] : Adrin: I read that as 'does a level'
[Tue Aug 7 22:13:54 2007] : Adrin: 60
[Tue Aug 7 22:14:12 2007] : Adrin: not great really. I've had a couple of crap rolls
[Tue Aug 7 22:14:22 2007] : Dan: Yeah, bummer
[Tue Aug 7 22:14:38 2007] : Adrin: think I've had a 1, 3 and 5 so far
[Tue Aug 7 22:14:46 2007] : Dan: Ah well, you must have had some good ones too
[Tue Aug 7 22:14:54 2007] : DM: You can always take toughness for those ever so useful 3 extra HP!
[Tue Aug 7 22:15:22 2007] : Adrin: how did that feat ever make it through a meeting??
[Tue Aug 7 22:15:34 2007] : Adrin: and why is it still in 3.5??
[Tue Aug 7 22:15:44 2007] : DM: Clearly a friday afternoon review just before a long weekend ;)
[Tue Aug 7 22:16:06 2007] : Dan: It got worse in 3.5 didn't it? Wasn't it 4 extra in 3.0?
[Tue Aug 7 22:16:08 2007] : Adrin: yeah, you dont need to be able to Scry to figure that out
[Tue Aug 7 22:16:13 2007] : Aliatra: And with lots of beer
[Tue Aug 7 22:16:19 2007] : DM: Nope. It's the same +3.
[Tue Aug 7 22:16:47 2007] : Aliatra: It's only useful at the really lowest levels and even then ...
[Tue Aug 7 22:16:50 2007] : DM: NWN made it +1 per level which is actually useful.
[Tue Aug 7 22:16:53 2007] : Dan: Might make a big difference to a low level mage...
[Tue Aug 7 22:17:09 2007] : Adrin: but why would you pick it over any other feat?
[Tue Aug 7 22:17:17 2007] : Dan: But at laer stages of the game it's a choice that you're going to regret
[Tue Aug 7 22:17:25 2007] : Adrin: +1/lvl would make it viable
[Tue Aug 7 22:17:30 2007] : Dan: Yeah
[Tue Aug 7 22:17:54 2007] : Aliatra: Sure, that would really make a difference
[Tue Aug 7 22:18:11 2007] : Adrin: well, I got my 1/- DR now so I'll be unstoppable....
[Tue Aug 7 22:18:21 2007] : DM: lollers.
[Tue Aug 7 22:18:51 2007] : Aliatra: KMAO
[Tue Aug 7 22:19:59 2007] : Adrin: actually Toughness would make more sense if it was DR
[Tue Aug 7 22:21:57 2007] : Dan: But that's far more useful than a few extra HPs
[Tue Aug 7 22:22:31 2007] : Aliatra: I like that idea
[Tue Aug 7 22:23:18 2007] : Adrin: exactly. An extra 1 DR would be tempting
[Tue Aug 7 22:24:24 2007] : Adrin: or maybe a special Barb feat that doubles any existing DR
[Tue Aug 7 22:24:58 2007] : Aliatra: Now you're just getting greedy ;-)
[Tue Aug 7 22:25:51 2007] : Adrin: maybe, I just keep thinking the barb is a bit underpowered
[Tue Aug 7 22:26:36 2007] : DM: How so?
[Tue Aug 7 22:27:43 2007] : Adrin: crap saves, very few skills. All he can really do is hit things a little harder than a fighter, and even that is limited to a few times a day
[Tue Aug 7 22:28:12 2007] : Dan: He trades off a potential couple of extra HPs versus the bonus feats that a fighter gets
[Tue Aug 7 22:28:21 2007] : Dan: And can't wear heavy armour
[Tue Aug 7 22:29:27 2007] : Adrin: the armour means he tends to get hit a lot more, but he can get completly screwed in that regard with low HP rolls
[Tue Aug 7 22:31:28 2007] : Adrin: the DR is a bit crap really. Rises to 5/- but thats at L19 where 5HP is going to be less important than 1HP is at L7
[Tue Aug 7 22:32:51 2007] : Aliatra: Still, it's 5 per hit, which still counts
[Tue Aug 7 22:34:38 2007] : DM: You can always start a new character if you don't like your current one.
[Tue Aug 7 22:34:59 2007] : Adrin: the damage you should get at L19 should make 5Hp meaningless
[Tue Aug 7 22:35:26 2007] : Adrin: Nah, I do like him. Its quite fun to play just running in and whacking away
[Tue Aug 7 22:35:38 2007] : Adrin: hmm that sounded a little... hmmm
[Tue Aug 7 22:36:16 2007] : Aliatra: Yees, go on ...
[Tue Aug 7 22:36:16 2007] : Adrin: I seem to remember saying similar things about 3 levels ago :)
[Tue Aug 7 22:37:25 2007] : Aliatra: At least you're consistent ;)
[Tue Aug 7 22:37:42 2007] : Adrin: :P
[Tue Aug 7 22:39:06 2007] : Adrin: So i everyone as sleepy as me?
[Tue Aug 7 22:39:10 2007] : DM: I'm off. g'night all.
[Tue Aug 7 22:39:20 2007] : Adrin: apparently :)
[Tue Aug 7 22:39:51 2007] : Aliatra: Goodnight and sweet dreams all
[Tue Aug 7 22:39:54 2007] : Disconnecting from server...
[Tue Aug 7 22:39:55 2007] : Game disconnected!
