[Wed Jun 11 19:51:14 2014] : Artur: Very well thanks H
[Wed Jun 11 19:51:24 2014] : Artur: it's been a hard 2 days at work but it's now over
[Wed Jun 11 19:51:49 2014] : Miriam: Good to know work is slightly less hectic now. How has the weekend been?
[Wed Jun 11 19:52:07 2014] : Hildy: DM
[Wed Jun 11 19:52:25 2014] : Hildy: I decided on some items I'd like to retroactively buy
[Wed Jun 11 19:52:38 2014] : Hildy: Handy haversack and boots of longstrider
[Wed Jun 11 19:52:58 2014] : DM: ok
[Wed Jun 11 19:53:06 2014] : ** Miriam points to a blue box nearby: "That sould do the trick" **
[Wed Jun 11 19:53:13 2014] : Hildy: The former frees me from load making my move 30 feet
[Wed Jun 11 19:53:16 2014] : Miriam: should
[Wed Jun 11 19:53:23 2014] : Hildy: The latter increases it to 40 ft
[Wed Jun 11 19:53:48 2014] : Hildy: Thanks David
[Wed Jun 11 19:54:48 2014] : Artur: The weekend was excellent - nobody passed out while I was DMing, which always counts as a result ;-)
[Wed Jun 11 19:55:03 2014] : Miriam: LOL
[Wed Jun 11 19:55:25 2014] : Miriam: What did you DM?
[Wed Jun 11 19:55:54 2014] : Vaddyn: I had a great time although the sardine tin train ride and 1.5hr flight delay weren't exactly the highlights
[Wed Jun 11 19:56:07 2014] : Hildy: Oh dear
[Wed Jun 11 19:56:18 2014] : Hildy: Del go back home by 10.30 am
[Wed Jun 11 19:56:21 2014] : Hildy: got
[Wed Jun 11 19:56:36 2014] : Vaddyn: My flight landed at 5pm :(
[Wed Jun 11 19:56:49 2014] : Vaddyn: just in time for rush hour traffic
[Wed Jun 11 19:56:55 2014] : Artur: DMed a steampunk murder mystery sort of game
[Wed Jun 11 19:57:21 2014] : Miriam: Steampunk? Nice :)
[Wed Jun 11 19:57:40 2014] : Hildy: Talon: Celestial Eagle: 2 talons [1d20(19) + 3] = 22; Damage: [1d4(3) + 2] = 5 HP
[1d20(4) + 3] = 7; Damage: [1d4(2) + 2] = 4 HP
[Wed Jun 11 19:57:50 2014] : Hildy: Hmm, guess what I just did
[Wed Jun 11 19:58:07 2014] : Vaddyn: lol
[Wed Jun 11 19:58:09 2014] : Miriam: In that kind of setting I would have expected NWoD rules, or D20 Modern, instead of Pathfinder
[Wed Jun 11 19:59:10 2014] : Artur: Fireball: a searing explosion of flame detonates with a low roar and deals [8d6(3,5,5,5,1,3,1,6) + 16] = 45 points of fire damage to every creature within the 20 ft radius (Reflex DC 22 for 1/2 damage).
[Wed Jun 11 19:59:32 2014] : Artur: I do like that +16 :)
[Wed Jun 11 19:59:50 2014] : DM: Where did that come from?
[Wed Jun 11 19:59:55 2014] : Artur: Pathfinder worked quite well for it, since it's sort of steampunk fantasy rather than pure steampunk
[Wed Jun 11 19:59:56 2014] : Miriam: That means a minimum of 24 damage
[Wed Jun 11 20:00:14 2014] : Artur: David: Crossblooded Sorceror, Red Dragon and Primal Fire
[Wed Jun 11 20:01:01 2014] : Miriam: I see that any ruleset could work, just talking about what I would have expected. Or course, for NWoD rules anybody would need a bucket of d10's
[Wed Jun 11 20:01:17 2014] : Artur: Also we'd all have had to learn them...
[Wed Jun 11 20:01:27 2014] : Hildy: Not heard of NWoD
[Wed Jun 11 20:01:35 2014] : Miriam: Yes, but they are very simple
[Wed Jun 11 20:01:53 2014] : Miriam: New World of Darkness, basically roll lots of d10's
[Wed Jun 11 20:02:39 2014] : DM: GAME START
[Wed Jun 11 20:03:30 2014] : DM: You are tracking down a group of bandits hiding out here in the north woods. You just ambushed and eliminated their forward lookup and are continuing on south, deeper into the woods.
[Wed Jun 11 20:04:35 2014] : DM: The ground slopes downwards and a wide, shallow valley. The forest full of lush ferns and horsetails. The ground is soft and wet underfoot.
[Wed Jun 11 20:05:16 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc Aeleva was going to scout ahead at this point
[Wed Jun 11 20:05:23 2014] : Artur: "I don't like this swamp."
[Wed Jun 11 20:05:26 2014] : DM: The beech and larch thin and give way to willows and tall poplars.
[Wed Jun 11 20:06:35 2014] : Miriam: "So they kleft a look-out without the means to tell them someone is coming. How silly of them"
[Wed Jun 11 20:06:41 2014] : DM: You have to skirt round ever increasing stagant pools, thick with greenish-brown algae and weeds. Insects dart about seeking their meal of blood.
[Wed Jun 11 20:07:20 2014] : DM: Survivial check.
[Wed Jun 11 20:07:47 2014] : Vaddyn: Survival: [1d20(10) + -1 + 0] = 9
[Wed Jun 11 20:07:47 2014] : Artur: Survival: [1d20(6) + -1] = 5
[Wed Jun 11 20:07:56 2014] : Hildy: Survival: [1d20(6) + 5] = 11
[Wed Jun 11 20:08:30 2014] : whispering to Miriam, Survival check
[Wed Jun 11 20:09:08 2014] : Hildy: ooc Miriam is still subject to Freedom of Movement for the next 75 or so minutes
[Wed Jun 11 20:09:48 2014] : Miriam: (whispering): ooc Sorry
[Wed Jun 11 20:09:55 2014] : Miriam: Survival: [1d20(10) + 11] = 21
[Wed Jun 11 20:10:12 2014] : Miriam: (whispering): Was running around: the usual morning madness
[Wed Jun 11 20:11:04 2014] : whispering to Miriam, This is becoming dangerous terrain, you should not continue blindly on.
[Wed Jun 11 20:12:16 2014] : Miriam: "Better dismount and walk, the ground is becoming treacherous"
[Wed Jun 11 20:12:23 2014] : Vaddyn: "Aye"
[Wed Jun 11 20:12:41 2014] : Hildy: Hildy does as suggested
[Wed Jun 11 20:12:42 2014] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn dismounts and leads his horse
[Wed Jun 11 20:12:54 2014] : Artur: Artur isn't going to argue
[Wed Jun 11 20:13:14 2014] : DM: Who is leading?
[Wed Jun 11 20:13:53 2014] : Artur: ooc Not me!
[Wed Jun 11 20:14:26 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc nor me
[Wed Jun 11 20:14:32 2014] : Miriam: ooc I guess I am
[Wed Jun 11 20:14:42 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc gets my vote
[Wed Jun 11 20:15:02 2014] : Miriam: Miriam leads by example, dismounting and leading her horse, walking carefully
[Wed Jun 11 20:16:07 2014] : DM: You walk on slowly for another quarter hour, the pools are getting deeper and wider, the dry, safe spots and path fewer and more treacherous.
[Wed Jun 11 20:16:18 2014] : DM: Survivial or perception check, Miriam.
[Wed Jun 11 20:16:56 2014] : Miriam: Survival: [1d20(1) + 11] = 12
[Wed Jun 11 20:17:05 2014] : Miriam: ooc Drat
[Wed Jun 11 20:17:40 2014] : Artur: ooc I think you mean "ooc splash"
[Wed Jun 11 20:17:48 2014] : Miriam: ooc LOL
[Wed Jun 11 20:18:32 2014] : DM: Miriam's foot sudden sinks into the wet mud, the black muck sucking her down up to her knees. She's sinking slowly. The rest of you stop at a safe distance.
[Wed Jun 11 20:19:11 2014] : Hildy: ooc any stones about?
[Wed Jun 11 20:19:37 2014] : Miriam: Miriam clutches hard at the bridle of her horse she's been leading
[Wed Jun 11 20:19:44 2014] : DM: No. Mud. Trees, rotten branches and firms.
[Wed Jun 11 20:19:48 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc how far back are we?
[Wed Jun 11 20:19:49 2014] : DM: ferns
[Wed Jun 11 20:20:42 2014] : Hildy: ooc Miriam is still subject to Freedom of Movement for the next 75 or so minutes
[Wed Jun 11 20:20:54 2014] : Hildy: ooc :-)
[Wed Jun 11 20:21:26 2014] : Artur: ooc 60 or so, we've been walking fifteen minutes ;-)
[Wed Jun 11 20:23:21 2014] : DM: The spell allows Miriam to move freely.
[Wed Jun 11 20:23:43 2014] : Miriam: "Told you it was dangerous. I would have gone down without that spell"
[Wed Jun 11 20:24:08 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc I'm just glad that this time it wasn't me casting glitterdust that messed up Davids plans
[Wed Jun 11 20:24:11 2014] : Hildy: ooc I imagine that you slip through it, just you are not sucked down
[Wed Jun 11 20:24:35 2014] : Hildy: ooc like it's water
[Wed Jun 11 20:24:40 2014] : Hildy: ooc brb
[Wed Jun 11 20:25:49 2014] : DM: Miriam is still sinking slowly as she stands there.
[Wed Jun 11 20:26:54 2014] : Miriam: Miriam tries to move out of the mud, hanging on to her horse
[Wed Jun 11 20:27:06 2014] : Vaddyn: "Might want to get out of there"
[Wed Jun 11 20:27:11 2014] : DM: Miriam moves back easily, on to firmer ground.
[Wed Jun 11 20:27:11 2014] : Hildy: "OK, how do the rest of us get over that with the horses?"
[Wed Jun 11 20:27:27 2014] : Vaddyn: "Can we find another way around?"
[Wed Jun 11 20:27:55 2014] : Hildy: "I think we'll have to"
[Wed Jun 11 20:28:08 2014] : Artur: "Would it dry out if we were to burn it?"
[Wed Jun 11 20:28:09 2014] : DM: The shallow lakes on either side of this dubious path stretch on for 100s of meters either side.
[Wed Jun 11 20:29:04 2014] : Miriam: "Let's back up and see if we can find tracks of our quarry"
[Wed Jun 11 20:29:04 2014] : DM: ooc you can try Artur
[Wed Jun 11 20:29:43 2014] : Vaddyn: "It might also give warning to our quarry"
[Wed Jun 11 20:30:15 2014] : Hildy: ooc having stepped into what looked like solid ground in a bog and sunk to my waist immediately, I have a fair idea of what it's like!
[Wed Jun 11 20:31:21 2014] : Artur: ooc are the blue lines ponds?
[Wed Jun 11 20:31:28 2014] : DM: ooc yes
[Wed Jun 11 20:31:39 2014] : Hildy: "Maybe the pond shores are less boggy?"
[Wed Jun 11 20:31:45 2014] : Artur: ooc not convinced fire will help, but Artur's likely to try
[Wed Jun 11 20:31:59 2014] : Artur: Artur casts a cantrip, starting a small fire
[Wed Jun 11 20:32:02 2014] : Artur: ooc casting Spark
[Wed Jun 11 20:32:11 2014] : Hildy: "Miriam, would you try them?"
[Wed Jun 11 20:33:15 2014] : whispering to Artur, It does nothing. You think it would take a lot more heat to dry out that amount of mud.
[Wed Jun 11 20:34:04 2014] : Artur: since Artur's first effort is ineffective, he tries again.
[Wed Jun 11 20:34:10 2014] : Artur: Fire Jet: Artur aims a 20' line of fire, doing [1d6(2) + 5] = 7 damage.
[Wed Jun 11 20:34:23 2014] : Artur: ooc trying to dry out some of the bog.
[Wed Jun 11 20:34:53 2014] : DM: It steams a little but there's too much water to much effect.
[Wed Jun 11 20:35:14 2014] : Miriam: Miriam ties a rope around her, leaves her horse behind and inches forward and to the side: "Hold on to the rope"
[Wed Jun 11 20:35:52 2014] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn grabs it
[Wed Jun 11 20:36:47 2014] : DM: Miriam tests the ground, The land and the pond edge is dangerous but moving further into the pond gives further ground.
[Wed Jun 11 20:37:03 2014] : DM: It looks like you could wade through the water and around the quick mud.
[Wed Jun 11 20:37:14 2014] : Hildy: "How is it?"
[Wed Jun 11 20:37:30 2014] : Miriam: "Better, actually, wet but firm"
[Wed Jun 11 20:37:47 2014] : Miriam: Miriam retrieves her horse
[Wed Jun 11 20:38:04 2014] : Miriam: "Better tie ourselves together, just in case"
[Wed Jun 11 20:38:19 2014] : Hildy: Hildy lets Miriam go first, then follows, tied in the line
[Wed Jun 11 20:38:37 2014] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn comes up third
[Wed Jun 11 20:38:52 2014] : DM: Miriam steps into the pond, wading easily through the thigh deep water.
[Wed Jun 11 20:38:57 2014] : DM: Perception checks.
[Wed Jun 11 20:39:04 2014] : Vaddyn: Perception: [1d20(14) + 6] = 20
[Wed Jun 11 20:39:30 2014] : whispering to Vaddyn, You spot ripples in the pond. They approach.
[Wed Jun 11 20:39:52 2014] : Miriam: Perception: [1d20(16) + 4] = 20
[Wed Jun 11 20:39:59 2014] : Hildy: Perception: [1d20(11) + 5] = 16

[Wed Jun 11 20:40:21 2014] : Vaddyn: "Somethings in the water"
[Wed Jun 11 20:40:33 2014] : Miriam: "Yes, over there"
[Wed Jun 11 20:40:35 2014] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn points to some ripples
[Wed Jun 11 20:40:36 2014] : Hildy: "Oh, joy of joys"

[Wed Jun 11 20:41:33 2014] : DM: The ripples stop
[Wed Jun 11 20:41:47 2014] : Miriam: ooc Look at where we're pointing!
[Wed Jun 11 20:42:24 2014] : DM: What do you do?
[Wed Jun 11 20:42:37 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc how far away are they?
[Wed Jun 11 20:43:09 2014] : DM: ooc 80 ft.
[Wed Jun 11 20:43:45 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc how far to dry land?
[Wed Jun 11 20:44:09 2014] : DM: Only Miriam and Hildy are in the water at the moment
[Wed Jun 11 20:44:53 2014] : Miriam: "I wish we could say what we're up against. Perhaps I need to go there and poke?"
[Wed Jun 11 20:44:56 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc so the ripples stopped moving when they did?
[Wed Jun 11 20:45:03 2014] : DM: ooc yes
[Wed Jun 11 20:45:08 2014] : Miriam: ooc Seems so
[Wed Jun 11 20:45:11 2014] : Vaddyn: Intelligence: [1d20(1) + 1] = 2

[Wed Jun 11 20:47:47 2014] : Artur: ooc thought I had an initiative node.

[Wed Jun 11 21:53:28 2014] : Hildy: "Well thank goodness for that"
[Wed Jun 11 21:53:47 2014] : Vaddyn: Prestidigitation: Level 0 - Perform simple magical effects for 1 hour
[Wed Jun 11 21:53:54 2014] : Hildy: ooc I assume by clean items it means do the dishes
[Wed Jun 11 21:54:04 2014] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn dries everyones clothes
[Wed Jun 11 21:54:09 2014] : DM: ooc Sounds plausible.
[Wed Jun 11 21:54:14 2014] : Hildy: ooc drying clothes is not really prestidigitation
[Wed Jun 11 21:54:41 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc 'It can chill, warm, or flavor 1 pound of nonliving material'
[Wed Jun 11 21:54:43 2014] : Hildy: ooc IMO
[Wed Jun 11 21:55:02 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc sounds like it could warm up the clothes to dry them out
[Wed Jun 11 21:55:12 2014] : DM: ooc yes
[Wed Jun 11 21:55:12 2014] : Hildy: ooc hmm, looks like it has changed a bit :-)
[Wed Jun 11 21:55:24 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc 'It can color, clean, or soil items in a 1-foot cube each round'
[Wed Jun 11 21:55:59 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc imo it would be better renamed to 'Minor magic' or similar
[Wed Jun 11 21:56:21 2014] : Miriam: ooc I've used it to remove blood from clothing, so I personally would allow it to remove water as well
[Wed Jun 11 21:57:42 2014] : Vaddyn: "Lets get moving"
[Wed Jun 11 21:57:45 2014] : Miriam: ooc Prestidigitation: quick-fingeredness, from Latin praestigiae feats of juggling, tricks, probably influenced by French preste nimble, and Latin digitus finger; see prestige
[Wed Jun 11 21:58:50 2014] : Miriam: "Yes, we still need to find their camp"
[Wed Jun 11 21:59:05 2014] : DM: You continue you south until you reach a large lake, tied to a tree on the muddy shoreline as a small rowing boat and the soft, muddy ground shows many foot prints.
[Wed Jun 11 21:59:13 2014] : Hildy: Once we're on land, I'd like to pray for a few minutes
[Wed Jun 11 21:59:20 2014] : Hildy: "Once we're on land, I'd like to pray for a few minutes"
[Wed Jun 11 21:59:40 2014] : Hildy: Hildy prays for his remaining spells
[Wed Jun 11 22:00:31 2014] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn spends the prayer time drying people off
[Wed Jun 11 22:01:06 2014] : Vaddyn: "Miriam, can you read anything from these prints?"
[Wed Jun 11 22:01:13 2014] : DM: Survival check to inspect prints.
[Wed Jun 11 22:02:00 2014] : Miriam: Survival: [1d20(14) + 11] = 25
[Wed Jun 11 22:02:20 2014] : Hildy: Survival: [1d20(10) + 5] = 15
[Wed Jun 11 22:02:23 2014] : Miriam: Miriam studies and ponders the prints
[Wed Jun 11 22:02:58 2014] : DM: The prints are clear. There are 7 different sets, booted humanoids of various sizes and depths, and a set of large feline prints.
[Wed Jun 11 22:03:34 2014] : Miriam: ooc The feline prints the size of the lion we killed, I guess?
[Wed Jun 11 22:03:43 2014] : DM: ooc yes
[Wed Jun 11 22:03:45 2014] : Vaddyn: "So, 6 of them left?"
[Wed Jun 11 22:03:53 2014] : DM: ooc 5
[Wed Jun 11 22:04:10 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc ah
[Wed Jun 11 22:04:37 2014] : Miriam: "No, 5: the 7th set is of that lion we killed"
[Wed Jun 11 22:04:55 2014] : Hildy: "Or a similar one"
[Wed Jun 11 22:05:22 2014] : Vaddyn: "Thats better then"
[Wed Jun 11 22:05:56 2014] : Miriam: "We didn't hear stories about 2 large cats in this company"
[Wed Jun 11 22:06:06 2014] : Miriam: ooc How old are those tracks?
[Wed Jun 11 22:06:19 2014] : DM: About a day old.
[Wed Jun 11 22:06:37 2014] : Miriam: "But where are they? It's been a day since they've been here"
[Wed Jun 11 22:06:54 2014] : Artur: "If we can get them to bunch up... Miriam, how would you like to live through an inferno? I can give you the flames' blessing."
[Wed Jun 11 22:07:31 2014] : DM: There are drag marks of another rowboat on the shoreline.
[Wed Jun 11 22:07:39 2014] : Hildy: "What on earth is that Artur?"
[Wed Jun 11 22:08:10 2014] : Vaddyn: "Hmm, two boats?"
[Wed Jun 11 22:08:12 2014] : Artur: "The flames will give Miriam extra strength, and shee will not be burned."
[Wed Jun 11 22:08:36 2014] : Miriam: "That sounds ... different"
[Wed Jun 11 22:08:59 2014] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn looks at Artur strangely
[Wed Jun 11 22:09:18 2014] : DM: Perception checks
[Wed Jun 11 22:09:25 2014] : Artur: Perception: [1d20(20) + -1] = 19
[Wed Jun 11 22:09:37 2014] : Vaddyn: Perception: [1d20(14) + 6] = 20
[Wed Jun 11 22:09:46 2014] : Hildy: Perception: [1d20(8) + 5] = 13
[Wed Jun 11 22:10:05 2014] : Miriam: Perception: [1d20(18) + 4] = 22
[Wed Jun 11 22:11:04 2014] : DM: Everyone except for Hildy notices a faint tendril of camp fire smoke rising from the trees on the south shore of the lake.
[Wed Jun 11 22:11:27 2014] : Artur: "I think we have found them."
[Wed Jun 11 22:11:28 2014] : Vaddyn: "Yonder!"
[Wed Jun 11 22:12:03 2014] : Miriam: "Yep, there they are. Does this mean we have to take that boat?" :(
[Wed Jun 11 22:12:46 2014] : Vaddyn: "Well, you could swim across"
[Wed Jun 11 22:13:07 2014] : Miriam: ""
[Wed Jun 11 22:13:12 2014] : Hildy: "I'm assuming that going around is out of the question?"
[Wed Jun 11 22:13:16 2014] : Miriam: "Very funny"
[Wed Jun 11 22:13:40 2014] : Artur: "Even a boat is better than swimming. But in the boat we are an easy target."
[Wed Jun 11 22:14:27 2014] : Vaddyn: "We should land as far from them as we can"
[Wed Jun 11 22:15:20 2014] : Hildy: "And the horses stay here?"
[Wed Jun 11 22:15:25 2014] : DM: Actually, this is a broad, slow moving river (nor a lake).
[Wed Jun 11 22:15:58 2014] : Hildy: ooc Ah, so *now* we can't go around ;-)
[Wed Jun 11 22:16:00 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc is the smoke directly across from us?
[Wed Jun 11 22:16:03 2014] : Miriam: ooc Does it look like the smoke comes from the shore or from an island?
[Wed Jun 11 22:16:44 2014] : DM: The woods on the far bank.
[Wed Jun 11 22:17:54 2014] : Vaddyn: "May as well get started"
[Wed Jun 11 22:18:17 2014] : Hildy: "We should tie the horses further back, so that they can't be spotted"
[Wed Jun 11 22:18:42 2014] : Hildy: "And maybe we should wait until nightfall to cross?"
[Wed Jun 11 22:18:46 2014] : DM: Knowledge engineering or dungeoneering.
[Wed Jun 11 22:18:53 2014] : Artur: Knowledge: Engineering: [1d20(10) + 11] = 21
[Wed Jun 11 22:19:10 2014] : Vaddyn: Knowledge Dungeoneering: [1d20(8) + 9] = 17
[Wed Jun 11 22:19:18 2014] : whispering to Artur, The boat looks old and battered. It doesn't look safe without some repairs.
[Wed Jun 11 22:19:56 2014] : Miriam: "Crossing the river, in a boat, at dark? This is getting better and better"
[Wed Jun 11 22:20:22 2014] : Hildy: "Well, I just meant that we'll be harder to spot"
[Wed Jun 11 22:20:40 2014] : Hildy: "I appreciate that it makes the job a little harder"
[Wed Jun 11 22:20:42 2014] : Artur: "Not happy about that boat. Too leaky."
[Wed Jun 11 22:21:08 2014] : Hildy: "Is there a spell that could fix it?"
[Wed Jun 11 22:21:52 2014] : Miriam: "Oh joy, a leaky boat"
[Wed Jun 11 22:21:59 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc mending is 1lb / lvl
[Wed Jun 11 22:22:23 2014] : Hildy: "I could cast a spell, but I do not have it memorised today"
[Wed Jun 11 22:22:40 2014] : Artur: "I am more suited to burning it. Then it would not leak, but not help either."
[Wed Jun 11 22:22:54 2014] : Hildy: ooc I had all my L2 spells at the start of the day
[Wed Jun 11 22:23:10 2014] : Hildy: "I can 'Make it whole'"
[Wed Jun 11 22:23:26 2014] : Hildy: "But it would need to wait until morning"
[Wed Jun 11 22:24:08 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc is there another boat on the other side?
[Wed Jun 11 22:24:39 2014] : DM: Not that you can see from here. It may be concealed. There's a lot of vegetation on the banks.
[Wed Jun 11 22:25:21 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc how wide is the river?
[Wed Jun 11 22:25:44 2014] : DM: About 300 ft at this point.
[Wed Jun 11 22:26:28 2014] : Miriam: "I could swim over and take a closer look"
[Wed Jun 11 22:27:19 2014] : Vaddyn: "Its quite a distance. Let me try something"
[Wed Jun 11 22:27:58 2014] : Vaddyn: Alter Self: Level 2 - Vaddyn takes on the form of a Merfolk. Duration - 8 rounds.
[Wed Jun 11 22:28:09 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc should be minutes/level
[Wed Jun 11 22:28:33 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc 30ft swim speed
[Wed Jun 11 22:28:38 2014] : DM: Knowledge: Nature checks
[Wed Jun 11 22:28:50 2014] : Vaddyn: Lore Master - Take 10 : Vaddyn takes 10 on his next knowledge roll
[Wed Jun 11 22:28:54 2014] : Vaddyn: Knowledge Nature: LoreMaster: [10 + 9] = 19
[Wed Jun 11 22:29:32 2014] : whispering to Vaddyn, Since there were moray eels in the shallow pools, you think there may be larger, more dangerous animals in the river.
[Wed Jun 11 22:29:53 2014] : Artur: Knowledge: Nature: [1d20(19) + 18] = 37
[Wed Jun 11 22:30:07 2014] : Miriam: Knowledge Nature: [1d20(1) + 11] = 12
[Wed Jun 11 22:30:18 2014] : Vaddyn: "Although on second thought, there could be bigger versions of those eels in here"
[Wed Jun 11 22:30:38 2014] : whispering to Artur, There are likely to be voracious predators in the river. Swimming might not be recommended.
[Wed Jun 11 22:31:18 2014] : Artur: "I suspect eels are not the end of it."
[Wed Jun 11 22:31:24 2014] : Hildy: ooc shouldn't we be teleporting over there at level 8? ;-)
[Wed Jun 11 22:31:34 2014] : Vaddyn: "Yes"
[Wed Jun 11 22:31:46 2014] : Artur: ooc no teleportation from me
[Wed Jun 11 22:32:24 2014] : Vaddyn: "Maybe we should wait til the morning and let Hildy fix the boat"
[Wed Jun 11 22:33:44 2014] : Artur: "This is a good place for a camp."
[Wed Jun 11 22:33:50 2014] : DM: As you discuss, you see a large fin break the water in the middle of the river. The huge creature dives back down again.
[Wed Jun 11 22:34:04 2014] : Vaddyn: "Gulp"
[Wed Jun 11 22:34:27 2014] : DM: Knowledge dungeoneering
[Wed Jun 11 22:34:33 2014] : Artur: "As an alternative, I can give all of us the ability to fly over the river."
[Wed Jun 11 22:34:38 2014] : Artur: Knowledge: Dungeoneering: [1d20(15) + 16] = 31
[Wed Jun 11 22:34:44 2014] : Hildy: ooc and this is why I save spells... but in this case I didn't save a L2, and I have just got my extras!
[Wed Jun 11 22:34:54 2014] : Vaddyn: "Now he says he can make us fly"
[Wed Jun 11 22:35:19 2014] : Artur: ooc not until the morning
[Wed Jun 11 22:35:24 2014] : Miriam: "Is that better than boating?"
[Wed Jun 11 22:35:39 2014] : Hildy: I can also do that
[Wed Jun 11 22:35:45 2014] : whispering to Artur, An aboleth fin, malevolent, intelligent fish.
[Wed Jun 11 22:35:47 2014] : Hildy: "I can also do that"
[Wed Jun 11 22:35:50 2014] : Artur: "Better than that beast."
[Wed Jun 11 22:35:56 2014] : Hildy: "Or at least walk on the air"
[Wed Jun 11 22:36:07 2014] : Artur: "The aboleth is no friend of anyone's."
[Wed Jun 11 22:36:11 2014] : Vaddyn: "So, all of our best options involve waiting til the morning"
[Wed Jun 11 22:36:39 2014] : Vaddyn: "I presume they will be expecting their watchman to return to them before then"
[Wed Jun 11 22:38:05 2014] : Miriam: "Better hide and keep watch then. We might be able to surprise them here"
[Wed Jun 11 22:38:52 2014] : Hildy: "Or at least some of them"
[Wed Jun 11 22:39:25 2014] : Hildy: "Let's bed down out of sight, but where we still get a clear view"
[Wed Jun 11 22:39:40 2014] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn looks around
[Wed Jun 11 22:39:44 2014] : Vaddyn: Survival: [1d20(15) + -1] = 14
[Wed Jun 11 22:39:49 2014] : Hildy: Survival: [1d20(1) + 5] = 6
[Wed Jun 11 22:40:06 2014] : Miriam: Survival: [1d20(14) + 11] = 25
[Wed Jun 11 22:40:19 2014] : DM: Miriam finds a suitable spot a short way downstream.
[Wed Jun 11 22:41:02 2014] : Vaddyn: ooc I'm absolutely knackered here
[Wed Jun 11 22:41:15 2014] : Miriam: "We'll have to settle for a cold meal tonight"
[Wed Jun 11 22:42:22 2014] : DM: You camp overniight. The day starts off cold, damp and misty, the far bank almost lost in the mist, trees looming spookily in the gray.
[Wed Jun 11 22:42:24 2014] : DM: GAME END
[Wed Jun 11 22:42:44 2014] : Vaddyn: Cheers David. Nice game - good atmosphere
[Wed Jun 11 22:42:55 2014] : Artur: very good - even though Artur was useless!
[Wed Jun 11 22:43:12 2014] : Vaddyn: g'night all
[Wed Jun 11 22:43:18 2014] : Hildy: Thanks David, good game
[Wed Jun 11 22:43:22 2014] : Miriam: We never made that eel stew
[Wed Jun 11 22:43:24 2014] : Artur: nn all
[Wed Jun 11 22:43:27 2014] : Vaddyn (exit): 22:43
[Wed Jun 11 22:43:28 2014] : Artur (exit): 22:43
[Wed Jun 11 22:43:33 2014] : Hildy: Nice use of terrain and nasty critters
[Wed Jun 11 22:43:36 2014] : Miriam: Goodnight all, see you next week :)
[Wed Jun 11 22:43:45 2014] : Hildy: Night all
[Wed Jun 11 22:43:47 2014] : Miriam: Love you guys
[Wed Jun 11 22:43:51 2014] : Hildy (exit): 22:43
[Wed Jun 11 22:43:53 2014] : Miriam (exit): 22:43
[Wed Jun 11 22:44:07 2014] : Game disconnected!
