[Wed Sep 19 21:11:27 2012] : whispering to Finduilas, There is a waterfall or steep rapids ahead.
[Wed Sep 19 21:11:46 2012] : Trantor: Survival: [1d20(20) + 8] = 28
[Wed Sep 19 21:11:52 2012] : Finduilas: "There's danger ahead, I think, a waterfall or rapids or the like"
[Wed Sep 19 21:11:53 2012] : whispering to Vaddyn, There's a small waterfall ahead, probably no more than a 30 ft drop.
[Wed Sep 19 21:12:21 2012] : Trantor: "Rowr, ruar rowurar"
[Wed Sep 19 21:12:23 2012] : Vaddyn: "Sounds like a waterfall ahead"
[Wed Sep 19 21:12:46 2012] : Finduilas: ooc So we all know :)
[Wed Sep 19 21:12:54 2012] : whispering to Vaddyn, There's a small waterfall ahead, probably a 25 ft drop into a 10 ft deep pool. Falling down will be dangerous with a high risk of drowning.
[Wed Sep 19 21:13:00 2012] : whispering to Trantor, There's a small waterfall ahead, probably a 25 ft drop into a 10 ft deep pool. Falling down will be dangerous with a high risk of drowning.
[Wed Sep 19 21:13:11 2012] : whispering to Vaddyn, ignore that last line -- that was for Trantor.
[Wed Sep 19 21:13:20 2012] : Trantor: Trantor makes a hasty retreat
[Wed Sep 19 21:13:33 2012] : Trantor: "RAR, RAWRAR"
[Wed Sep 19 21:13:42 2012] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn follows Trantor
[Wed Sep 19 21:13:56 2012] : Finduilas: Finduilas does likewise
[Wed Sep 19 21:14:37 2012] : Trantor: Once safe, Trantor shrugs
[Wed Sep 19 21:15:07 2012] : Vaddyn: "It looks like our only option is clearing that rubble"
[Wed Sep 19 21:16:42 2012] : Vaddyn: ooc unless there is an upstream path I missed
[Wed Sep 19 21:16:56 2012] : DM: ooc upstream leads to the surface.
[Wed Sep 19 21:17:32 2012] : Finduilas: "Right, let's get to work"
[Wed Sep 19 21:17:44 2012] : Trantor: Trantor returns to Human form.
[Wed Sep 19 21:17:47 2012] : Vaddyn: ooc thats what I thought
[Wed Sep 19 21:18:02 2012] : Vaddyn: "Any thoughts, Trantor?"
[Wed Sep 19 21:18:06 2012] : Trantor: "Well, I'll be more useful not being a lizard for this task"
[Wed Sep 19 21:18:43 2012] : Trantor: "It was the fall into the pool below that looked dangerous..."
[Wed Sep 19 21:19:27 2012] : Vaddyn: "Yes, I thought it sounded risky and your reaction confirmed it"
[Wed Sep 19 21:19:28 2012] : Trantor: "If we could lower ourselves down waterfall safely..."
[Wed Sep 19 21:19:48 2012] : Trantor: ooc is this train of thought OK for my assessment DM?
[Wed Sep 19 21:20:05 2012] : DM: ooc yes.
[Wed Sep 19 21:20:05 2012] : Finduilas: "I'd have to strip first, dressed like this I'm very likely to drown"
[Wed Sep 19 21:20:33 2012] : Trantor: "Probably a good idea"
[Wed Sep 19 21:20:34 2012] : Finduilas: Finduilas looks down at her armour
[Wed Sep 19 21:20:56 2012] : Trantor: "If we can secure ropes, maybe we can lower ourselves down"
[Wed Sep 19 21:21:07 2012] : Finduilas: "What's a good idea? Me drowning?" Finduilas grins at Trantor
[Wed Sep 19 21:21:18 2012] : Trantor: ooc was there anything to tie a rope to above the fall DM?
[Wed Sep 19 21:21:47 2012] : Finduilas: Healing: Regain 0 HP. || HP Status 39 out of 39.
[Wed Sep 19 21:22:00 2012] : Finduilas: HP Status 39 out of 39.
[Wed Sep 19 21:22:02 2012] : Trantor: "Arol could lower us, but he may slip"
[Wed Sep 19 21:22:22 2012] : Finduilas: ooc Sorry, I don't know what happened
[Wed Sep 19 21:22:49 2012] : DM: You didn't reach the fall, only heard it in the distance. The rock walls though have plenty of cracks to hold a piton.
[Wed Sep 19 21:23:27 2012] : Vaddyn: "Ok, so shall we have another look? This time you can properly tell Arol to brace one of us"
[Wed Sep 19 21:24:37 2012] : Trantor: "OK, let's try again."
[Wed Sep 19 21:24:54 2012] : Trantor: "I'm not certain I picked the right shape for dungeons"
[Wed Sep 19 21:25:22 2012] : Finduilas: "What other forms can you take?"
[Wed Sep 19 21:26:18 2012] : Trantor: "Any animal that is the same size as me"
[Wed Sep 19 21:26:39 2012] : Trantor: "Though I'm not aware of any that are good with waterfalls"
[Wed Sep 19 21:27:37 2012] : Vaddyn: "A large salmon?"
[Wed Sep 19 21:27:43 2012] : Finduilas: "How about an octopus?"
[Wed Sep 19 21:27:48 2012] : DM: ooc Trying again?
[Wed Sep 19 21:27:54 2012] : Trantor: "A very big one!"
[Wed Sep 19 21:28:07 2012] : Trantor: "What's an octopus?"
[Wed Sep 19 21:28:11 2012] : Trantor: ooc :-P
[Wed Sep 19 21:28:29 2012] : Trantor: ooc yes DM
[Wed Sep 19 21:28:48 2012] : Trantor: Trantor carefully steps back down again
[Wed Sep 19 21:28:56 2012] : Vaddyn: "Finduilas is covered in armour, and Trantor needs to direct Arol, so I'll go look"
[Wed Sep 19 21:28:58 2012] : Finduilas: "Some animal I heard about: it lives in the water and has eight legs, with suckers on them"
[Wed Sep 19 21:29:16 2012] : Trantor: "Arol, hold the rope to stop me falling down the river"
[Wed Sep 19 21:29:18 2012] : DM: You near the edge of the waterfall, the stream tumbling over the edge into the pool below.
[Wed Sep 19 21:29:18 2012] : Trantor: Handle Companion: [1d20(13) + 11] = 24
[Wed Sep 19 21:29:23 2012] : DM: Acrobatic checks.
[Wed Sep 19 21:29:26 2012] : Trantor: Acrobatics: [1d20(2) + -2] = 0
[Wed Sep 19 21:29:45 2012] : DM: Trantor slips...
[Wed Sep 19 21:29:52 2012] : DM: Strength checks from everyone else.
[Wed Sep 19 21:30:01 2012] : Vaddyn: Strength: [1d20(16) + 2] = 18
[Wed Sep 19 21:30:04 2012] : DM: Including Arol.
[Wed Sep 19 21:30:06 2012] : Finduilas: Strength: [1d20(7) + 2] = 9
[Wed Sep 19 21:31:08 2012] : DM: Vaddyn pulls on the rope, hauling Trantor away from the edge.
[Wed Sep 19 21:31:10 2012] : Trantor: Arol - Strength: [1d20(1) + 6] = 7
[Wed Sep 19 21:31:32 2012] : Vaddyn: "That was close"
[Wed Sep 19 21:32:20 2012] : DM: Looking down into the pool below you see 5 long creatures lurking in the clear waters, their eyes and the tips of their long snouts the only parts above the water.
[Wed Sep 19 21:32:27 2012] : Finduilas: "We need to be very careful"
[Wed Sep 19 21:32:31 2012] : Trantor: Knowledge Nature: [1d20(6) + 9] = 15
[Wed Sep 19 21:32:43 2012] : DM: They are scaled and pale in colour with long musclar tails.
[Wed Sep 19 21:32:54 2012] : Vaddyn: "I dont like the look of those"

[Wed Sep 19 21:33:07 2012] : Vaddyn: Knowledge Nature: [1d20(10) + 7] = 17
[Wed Sep 19 21:33:11 2012] : DM: The are cave crocodiles, similar to other crocodiles but found in deep caves all over the world.
[Wed Sep 19 21:33:28 2012] : Trantor: "Hmm, nor me. Cave crocodiles by the looks of them"
[Wed Sep 19 21:34:21 2012] : DM: You recall the baron's daughter, Miranda's words.
[Wed Sep 19 21:34:26 2012] : Trantor: "Going down into that water is probably not a good plan"
[Wed Sep 19 21:34:55 2012] : DM: She only wants the unnatural monsters killed, any native creatures should be left unharmed.
[Wed Sep 19 21:35:17 2012] : Finduilas: ooc She's not here *shrug*
[Wed Sep 19 21:35:54 2012] : Finduilas: "So, do we want to plummet down and get eaten, or are we clearing rubble?"
[Wed Sep 19 21:36:20 2012] : DM: Lurking on the far bank is another of the crocodiles, only large. it's scaly skin patchy, exposing bleached white bones beneath. Baleful glowing, red eyes glare up at you and it snaps angrily.
[Wed Sep 19 21:36:45 2012] : Vaddyn: "That one over there looks... odd"
[Wed Sep 19 21:37:02 2012] : Finduilas: "It's very big"
[Wed Sep 19 21:37:20 2012] : Trantor: Knowledge Nature: [1d20(12) + 9] = 21
[Wed Sep 19 21:37:36 2012] : Trantor: "It's not very natual looking"
[Wed Sep 19 21:37:42 2012] : Vaddyn: ooc Would it be feasible to traverse the cave wall to get to the bank?
[Wed Sep 19 21:37:45 2012] : DM: Knowledge: Religion
[Wed Sep 19 21:37:50 2012] : Trantor: Knowledge (Untrained): [1d20(7) + -1] = 6

[Wed Sep 19 21:38:04 2012] : Vaddyn: ooc 17
[Wed Sep 19 21:38:22 2012] : Vaddyn: ooc should really incorporate that into the skill rolls
[Wed Sep 19 21:38:30 2012] : DM: Vaddyn, the walls are rough with handholds if you want to try climbing.
[Wed Sep 19 21:39:08 2012] : DM: It is some sort of undead, but more powerful than a simple skeleton.
[Wed Sep 19 21:40:21 2012] : Vaddyn: "Does anyone fancy our chances climbing the walls?"
[Wed Sep 19 21:40:36 2012] : Trantor: "Arol could do it, but not me"
[Wed Sep 19 21:40:56 2012] : DM: The crocs in the water could easily get on to the bank.
[Wed Sep 19 21:41:59 2012] : Trantor: "If we wished to attack it, we could do so from here with ranged weapons, spells and summons"
[Wed Sep 19 21:43:01 2012] : Trantor: "Arol could then climb with a rope, and we could climb down it across the pond"
[Wed Sep 19 21:43:15 2012] : DM: ooc FWIW, I was expecting the druid to have some means to influence the natural crocs. Is that actually possible?
[Wed Sep 19 21:43:21 2012] : Vaddyn: "which still leaves us with four beasts we promised not to harm"
[Wed Sep 19 21:43:23 2012] : Trantor: "This does of course assume that the lake crocodiles will not atack"
[Wed Sep 19 21:43:45 2012] : Trantor: ooc Wild empathy - like diplomacy... not sure the range
[Wed Sep 19 21:43:51 2012] : Finduilas: "They can't reach us right now, let's worry about them when necessary, and not before"
[Wed Sep 19 21:44:45 2012] : Trantor: ooc 30 feet
[Wed Sep 19 21:45:14 2012] : Trantor: "OK, if you hold me steady, I might be able to convince the crocodiles not to attack us"
[Wed Sep 19 21:45:31 2012] : Trantor: Trantor moves to the edge
[Wed Sep 19 21:45:31 2012] : Vaddyn: "Looks like it could be our only option"
[Wed Sep 19 21:46:38 2012] : Vaddyn: Inspire Competence: Vaddyn tells a little limerick... one ally within 30 feet receives a +2 competence bonus to skill checks with one skill until Vaddyn stops.
[Wed Sep 19 21:46:47 2012] : Trantor: Trantor spends a minute trying to get the crocs to feel his vibe
[Wed Sep 19 21:46:50 2012] : Trantor: Wild Empathy: [1d20(5) + 4] = 9
[Wed Sep 19 21:47:18 2012] : DM: ooc take [10 + 4 + 2] = 16 from Bert.
[Wed Sep 19 21:47:22 2012] : Trantor: ooc when I just tested that node I rolled a 19
[Wed Sep 19 21:47:35 2012] : Trantor: oco Ah, take 10 then ;-)
[Wed Sep 19 21:48:03 2012] : DM: ooc I thought that was what the minute was for?
[Wed Sep 19 21:48:38 2012] : Trantor: ooc no, the process takes 1 minute
[Wed Sep 19 21:49:38 2012] : DM: ooc ok, roll 3 more times, one for each of the other crocodiles.
[Wed Sep 19 21:49:42 2012] : Trantor: Wild Empathy: [1d20(16) + 4] = 20
[Wed Sep 19 21:49:51 2012] : Trantor: Wild Empathy: [1d20(10) + 4] = 14

[Wed Sep 19 21:50:47 2012] : Trantor: Trantor looks a little disoriented...
[Wed Sep 19 21:51:04 2012] : Trantor: "Getting into the heads of crocodiles is no easy task"
[Wed Sep 19 21:51:21 2012] : DM: As Trantor tries to calm the crocodiles, the croco-lich is snarling and snapping at its minions.
[Wed Sep 19 21:52:07 2012] : Trantor: ooc lich?? ;-D
[Wed Sep 19 21:52:19 2012] : DM: Two of the crocodiles turn and dive underwater, and you see them surface by the outflow. They clamber down the tunnle and are gone from sight.
[Wed Sep 19 21:52:54 2012] : Trantor: "I think that's the best we're going to get"
[Wed Sep 19 21:53:00 2012] : DM: The other two remain but are much calmer and lie still below the water instead of circling menacingly.
[Wed Sep 19 21:53:30 2012] : Vaddyn: "Nice work. Do you thnk the other two will leave us alone if we go into the water?"
[Wed Sep 19 21:53:51 2012] : Trantor: "I'm not sure, but they seem to have stopped licking their lips in anticipation"
[Wed Sep 19 21:53:51 2012] : DM: ooc you can try again if you can think of something additional to persuade them.
[Wed Sep 19 21:54:12 2012] : Trantor: Summon Nature's Ally I - Begin: Summon Nature's Ally I: Level 1 - Trantor begins a Summon spell.
[Wed Sep 19 21:54:37 2012] : Trantor: ooc want to summon a load of fish if that's possible??
[Wed Sep 19 21:54:53 2012] : DM: ooc sure.
[Wed Sep 19 21:55:30 2012] : Trantor: Trantor completes his spell, and produces a bounty of fish for the crocs
[Wed Sep 19 21:56:10 2012] : Trantor: Then tries to persuade them to follow their companions
[Wed Sep 19 21:56:14 2012] : Trantor: Wild Empathy: [1d20(10) + 4] = 14
[Wed Sep 19 21:56:15 2012] : Trantor: Wild Empathy: [1d20(7) + 4] = 11

[Wed Sep 19 21:56:42 2012] : DM: The crocodiles chase the fish around the pool, snapping up the occasional one.
[Wed Sep 19 21:56:51 2012] : DM: [1d20(5) + 2] = 7
[Wed Sep 19 21:56:52 2012] : DM: [1d20(16) + 2] = 18
[Wed Sep 19 21:57:19 2012] : DM: Satisfied from the fish another crocodile leaves.
[Wed Sep 19 21:57:33 2012] : Trantor: "I'm not sure that I have much else up my sleeve"
[Wed Sep 19 21:57:58 2012] : Finduilas: "Better get on with it then"
[Wed Sep 19 21:58:02 2012] : Vaddyn: "That was impressive"
[Wed Sep 19 21:59:03 2012] : Trantor: "Thanks for the encouragement Vaddyn, and to you too Finduilas, it's nice to know your friends believe in you"
[Wed Sep 19 21:59:28 2012] : Vaddyn: "So now how do we get to the solid ground? I dont fancy fighting in water"
[Wed Sep 19 22:00:05 2012] : Trantor: "I want to keep the skeletal one at bay with a summoned creature or two..."
[Wed Sep 19 22:00:11 2012] : Finduilas: "I don't fancy swimming"
[Wed Sep 19 22:00:22 2012] : Trantor: "Then send Arol down with a rope..."
[Wed Sep 19 22:00:39 2012] : Trantor: We can slide down the rope and join the summons in the attack"
[Wed Sep 19 22:00:47 2012] : Trantor: "We can slide down the rope and join the summons in the attack"
[Wed Sep 19 22:01:25 2012] : Trantor: "Otherwise we jump, then swim, or attempt to climb ourselves?"
[Wed Sep 19 22:01:50 2012] : Vaddyn: "I think swimming is out of the question for Finduilas"
[Wed Sep 19 22:02:00 2012] : Trantor: "And for me"
[Wed Sep 19 22:02:10 2012] : Trantor: ooc I'm pretty heavily armoured
[Wed Sep 19 22:02:25 2012] : Vaddyn: ooc didn't realise that
[Wed Sep 19 22:02:56 2012] : Trantor: Trantor looks for a place to anchor one end of the rope with a piton
[Wed Sep 19 22:03:06 2012] : Trantor: Perception: [1d20(9) + 10] = 19
[Wed Sep 19 22:03:19 2012] : DM: Trantor spots and likely looking crack.
[Wed Sep 19 22:03:26 2012] : DM: Trantor spots a likely looking crack.
[Wed Sep 19 22:03:55 2012] : Vaddyn: "Rope is it then"
[Wed Sep 19 22:03:57 2012] : Trantor: Trantor hammers the piton in and tries to ensure the rope is attached well
[Wed Sep 19 22:04:08 2012] : Trantor: Strength: [1d20(18) + 4] = 22
[Wed Sep 19 22:04:40 2012] : DM: It's securly fastened.
[Wed Sep 19 22:05:13 2012] : Trantor: "OK, Vaddyn, can you also summon something to help secure the beach for Arol?"
[Wed Sep 19 22:05:40 2012] : Vaddyn: "Indeed"
[Wed Sep 19 22:06:04 2012] : Trantor: ooc want us to do initiative DM, it might help
[Wed Sep 19 22:06:11 2012] : Trantor: ooc ?
[Wed Sep 19 22:06:12 2012] : DM: GAME END
[Wed Sep 19 22:06:20 2012] : Finduilas: Phew
[Wed Sep 19 22:06:21 2012] : Trantor: ooc booo!!
[Wed Sep 19 22:06:26 2012] : DM: No stats for the croco-lich, sorry.
[Wed Sep 19 22:06:27 2012] : Trantor: LOL
[Wed Sep 19 22:06:41 2012] : DM: it's not really a lich.
[Wed Sep 19 22:06:46 2012] : Trantor: Good suspenseful place to stop anyway :-)
[Wed Sep 19 22:07:14 2012] : Finduilas: Well, we didn't take any time at all for our first fight, so we might have been moving a bit quicker than expected
[Wed Sep 19 22:07:36 2012] : Trantor: I enjoyed the puzzle solving element
[Wed Sep 19 22:07:51 2012] : Trantor: And we've still no idea if this plan will work...
[Wed Sep 19 22:08:00 2012] : Vaddyn: yep. wasn't expecting the waterfall to be 'solvable'
[Wed Sep 19 22:08:01 2012] : Trantor: Though Arol is a damned good climber
[Wed Sep 19 22:08:16 2012] : Trantor: Arol - Climb: [1d20(18) + 19] = 37
[Wed Sep 19 22:08:32 2012] : DM: There's a substatial "awesome" bonus being applied...
[Wed Sep 19 22:08:41 2012] : Trantor: LOL
[Wed Sep 19 22:08:48 2012] : Finduilas: KMAO
[Wed Sep 19 22:09:01 2012] : Trantor: My wild empathy rolls are not great (Cha = 8!)
[Wed Sep 19 22:09:21 2012] : Vaddyn: worked pretty well
[Wed Sep 19 22:09:23 2012] : DM: Fortunately the crocodile had even worse charisma.
[Wed Sep 19 22:09:38 2012] : Trantor: LOL, phew
[Wed Sep 19 22:09:50 2012] : DM: 2!

[Wed Sep 19 22:13:31 2012] : Trantor: Plus there's monitoring software on your PC that will run actions at different battery levels Hannele
[Wed Sep 19 22:13:49 2012] : Finduilas: I have that software
[Wed Sep 19 22:13:50 2012] : Trantor: I think I had ot install NDIS Wrapper
[Wed Sep 19 22:14:08 2012] : Trantor: Umm, battery levels for the UPS, not the PC
