[Thu Apr 13 19:41:16 2006] : (1) DM: Early the next day, Caraegyn leaves at the crack of dawn to summon help from one of the towns.

[Thu Apr 13 19:42:57 2006] : (2) Aryadan: Dan gets up early and reads his spellbook diligently by candle light
[Thu Apr 13 19:43:28 2006] : (2) Aryadan (whispering): Useful download Summon documents
[Thu Apr 13 19:43:39 2006] : (2) Aryadan (whispering): The docs in the zip file have all the stats for standard summons
[Thu Apr 13 19:43:39 2006] : (4) Lia: ooc I have a stoopid question, do we *need* to write our name before the action thing? isn't the color enough?
[Thu Apr 13 19:44:10 2006] : (4) Lia: Lia gets up early too and takes an hour to prepare herself
[Thu Apr 13 19:44:10 2006] : (2) Aryadan: ooc It's a fragmentary sentence if you don't, it just looks odd
[Thu Apr 13 19:44:28 2006] : (1) DM: ooc what Craig said.
[Thu Apr 13 19:46:07 2006] : (1) DM: The noise of unusual marsh birds calling can be heard outside as well as the sounds of the vilagers going about.
[Thu Apr 13 19:46:15 2006] : (2) Aryadan: After a while Dan quietly goes outside to see if there's anything to eat
[Thu Apr 13 19:46:58 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "Damned birds"
[Thu Apr 13 19:47:06 2006] : (1) DM: Outside some of the villagers are doing makeshift repairs to the pallisade.
[Thu Apr 13 19:47:24 2006] : (3) Aliatra: Aliatra reluctantly gets up, washes and goes to find some food
[Thu Apr 13 19:47:52 2006] : (1) DM: This isn't an inn. There is no food except what you provide yourself.
[Thu Apr 13 19:48:08 2006] : (2) Aryadan: Dan tries to attract one of the villager's attention to try to see if he can buy some breakfast
[Thu Apr 13 19:49:06 2006] : (1) DM: The villagers are too busy to provide food.
[Thu Apr 13 19:49:29 2006] : (2) Aryadan: Dan wonders if he's too busy to help with their problems
[Thu Apr 13 19:49:52 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "Do they expect up to fight on trail rations?"
[Thu Apr 13 19:50:09 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "Alas I don't even have those"
[Thu Apr 13 19:50:25 2006] : (4) Lia: Lia eats some berries and things she gathers here and there and provides her colleagues with some as well
[Thu Apr 13 19:50:33 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "I shall not avail my arts on an empty stomach"
[Thu Apr 13 19:50:41 2006] : (3) Aliatra: 'Have one of mine'
[Thu Apr 13 19:50:54 2006] : (2) Aryadan: ooc that's a survival roll BTW
[Thu Apr 13 19:51:10 2006] : (3) Aliatra: Aliatra hands Aryadan some food
[Thu Apr 13 19:51:15 2006] : (2) Aryadan: Dan takes the rations hungrily and with thanks
[Thu Apr 13 19:51:30 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "Thankyou Aliatra"
[Thu Apr 13 19:51:58 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "I... I haven't really seen much in the way of generosity from the lowlanders. You are my first exception"
[Thu Apr 13 19:52:19 2006] : (4) Lia: Survival Skill Check: [1d20+6] -> [1,6] = (7)
[Thu Apr 13 19:52:25 2006] : (4) Lia: ooc roflmao
[Thu Apr 13 19:52:40 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "You can't defend me when you're starving, now can you?"
[Thu Apr 13 19:52:40 2006] : (1) DM: Lia, unfortunatly the unfamiliar terrain yeilds nothing to eat.
[Thu Apr 13 19:53:03 2006] : (4) Lia: Lia comes back with no food and eats a ration
[Thu Apr 13 19:53:07 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "Take these folk for instance. They want our help, but can't be polite enough to feed us"
[Thu Apr 13 19:53:33 2006] : (2) Aryadan: ooc do they look starved?
[Thu Apr 13 19:53:37 2006] : (4) Lia (whispering): I take some time to study the water in those parts, to see if I prepare, or not, my create water spell :P
[Thu Apr 13 19:53:59 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "They might be rude, they might be unthinking or they might be unable"
[Thu Apr 13 19:54:28 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "Yes, I suppose so. I'm not much good with other cultures"
[Thu Apr 13 19:54:31 2006] : whispering to Lia, It's a marsh, the water is unlikely to be drinkable.
[Thu Apr 13 19:54:58 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "My prior life was quite secluded. I have difficulty sensing the motives of other's actions"
[Thu Apr 13 19:55:04 2006] : (1) DM: The villagers don't look starved, nor do they look too well fed.
[Thu Apr 13 19:55:05 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "I suppose you haven't had a lot of contact with them"
[Thu Apr 13 19:55:38 2006] : (1) DM: After some time Taniel approaches.
[Thu Apr 13 19:55:46 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "No indeed, but that's all changing now. In at the deep end as they say, although I have no idea what the meaning is"
[Thu Apr 13 19:55:56 2006] : (1) Taniel: "Good morning."
[Thu Apr 13 19:56:06 2006] : (4) Lia: "Good morning Taniel"
[Thu Apr 13 19:56:08 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "Whatever it means: it sounds dangerous"
[Thu Apr 13 19:56:09 2006] : (2) Aryadan: Dan nods
[Thu Apr 13 19:56:20 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "And a good morning to you as well"
[Thu Apr 13 19:56:22 2006] : (4) Lia: "Taniel, where can I fill my waterskin?"
[Thu Apr 13 19:57:12 2006] : (1) Taniel: Taniel points towards a covered well.
[Thu Apr 13 19:57:44 2006] : (2) Aryadan: Dan waits his turn to fill his skin
[Thu Apr 13 19:57:49 2006] : (4) Lia: Lia fills her waterskin
[Thu Apr 13 19:57:51 2006] : (1) Taniel: "If you wish I may lead you towards the tower to the North, it may be that the evil that threatens us comes from there."
[Thu Apr 13 19:58:17 2006] : (3) Aliatra: Aliatra joins the queue
[Thu Apr 13 19:58:33 2006] : (4) Lia: "If you have extra waterskins, don't hesitate, the water in these parts is just notdrinkable, and although we are likely to be soaked, we may die of thirst"
[Thu Apr 13 19:59:03 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "I have only one. But it holds 4 pints"
[Thu Apr 13 19:59:39 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "Why would we go looking for trouble? Let those zombies come here and we'll kill them deader"
[Thu Apr 13 20:00:12 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "I have sharp eyes and a bow. I will go if that is where you think we will best serve"
[Thu Apr 13 20:01:02 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "I would do better with a longbow however. Do you have one that I could swap for my shortbow Taniel?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:01:53 2006] : (1) Taniel: "I am afraid not, we hunt birds with short bows as longbows are too impractical when one is waist deep in water."
[Thu Apr 13 20:02:13 2006] : (5) Adrin (enter): 20:02
[Thu Apr 13 20:03:01 2006] : (1) Taniel: "There are been strange reports concerning the tower for some days prior to the zombie attacks. Peculiar lights and so forth."
[Thu Apr 13 20:03:27 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "Inside the tower itself?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:03:41 2006] : (5) Adrin: Adrin rouses himself from a deep sleep and joins the others
[Thu Apr 13 20:03:43 2006] : (2) Aryadan (whispering): good answer BTW
[Thu Apr 13 20:03:53 2006] : (1) Taniel: "Well, sort of around the tower."
[Thu Apr 13 20:05:16 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "That's all very interesting, I'm sure"
[Thu Apr 13 20:05:45 2006] : (1) Taniel: "Um..."
[Thu Apr 13 20:06:00 2006] : (4) Lia: "Hmm, so these zombies could be driven by some other force or person, using magic to animate them."
[Thu Apr 13 20:06:14 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "is the tower inside the stockade?
[Thu Apr 13 20:06:35 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "When they attack, you know where to find me"
[Thu Apr 13 20:06:41 2006] : (1) Taniel: "The tower is someways to the east, deeper in the marsh."
[Thu Apr 13 20:06:59 2006] : (3) Aliatra: Aliatra goes over to the villagers to help them with repairing the palissades
[Thu Apr 13 20:07:00 2006] : (5) Adrin: "Is there a safe path to reach it?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:07:10 2006] : (2) Aryadan: ooc it was North a sec ago ;)
[Thu Apr 13 20:07:15 2006] : (1) Taniel: "I have lived here for most of my life, I know all the safe routes."
[Thu Apr 13 20:07:40 2006] : (1) Taniel: ooc so I suck at geography. It's supposed to be to the east.
[Thu Apr 13 20:07:40 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "Come Aliatra, it seems most likely that the attacks have a source"
[Thu Apr 13 20:07:57 2006] : (4) Lia: "I would argue going to the tower is the better route"
[Thu Apr 13 20:08:03 2006] : (4) Lia: "are we ready to go?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:08:19 2006] : (5) Adrin: "But why would they want to force you away from here?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:08:26 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "I am prepared. I have memorized more disrupt undead spells"
[Thu Apr 13 20:08:31 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "I seem to remember us having this discussion last night. Whe are we talking of unnecessary risking our lives again?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:08:50 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "We are not wandering into the swamp itself"
[Thu Apr 13 20:08:51 2006] : (3) Aliatra: Why are we
[Thu Apr 13 20:08:55 2006] : (1) Taniel: "We do not know. There is nothing of value here that can't be found elsewhere in the marsh."
[Thu Apr 13 20:09:14 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "Perhaps it is the fact that you block the main road?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:09:30 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "Maybe someone wishes unfettered use of the road"
[Thu Apr 13 20:09:51 2006] : (1) Taniel: ooc if your character is afraid of unnecessary risks to life then perhaps adventurer isn't the right career choice...
[Thu Apr 13 20:10:19 2006] : (1) Taniel: "Oh, I suppose that could be it."
[Thu Apr 13 20:10:51 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "Or perhaps someone is jealous of your reed harvests"
[Thu Apr 13 20:11:19 2006] : (4) Lia: "Aliatra, you deem them unecessary, I don't."
[Thu Apr 13 20:11:27 2006] : (4) Lia: "If you're afraid, stay here."
[Thu Apr 13 20:11:32 2006] : (1) Taniel: "But the marsh is full of reeds! There's more than enough for anyone."
[Thu Apr 13 20:11:33 2006] : (2) Aryadan: Dan smirks as if his meanness is funny
[Thu Apr 13 20:11:35 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "So why do you deem them necessary?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:11:57 2006] : (4) Lia: "Do I have to explain this over and over again?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:12:12 2006] : (1) Taniel: ooc DM smirks at Dan's ignorance on the economic importance of good quality reeds.
[Thu Apr 13 20:12:20 2006] : (5) Adrin: ooc lol
[Thu Apr 13 20:12:38 2006] : (4) Lia: "Undeads are unnatural. I will have no rest until they are done with"
[Thu Apr 13 20:12:40 2006] : (2) Aryadan: ooc Dan's just a bit mean because he thinks he's better than others :P
[Thu Apr 13 20:13:19 2006] : (4) Lia: "They break the balance of nature, neither dead, nor alive. And that balance must be restored"
[Thu Apr 13 20:13:33 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "I will not chase undead into the marshes, but I'm all for finding and stopping a likely cause"
[Thu Apr 13 20:13:55 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "especially if we avoid the bogs"
[Thu Apr 13 20:14:05 2006] : (1) Taniel: "You can be assured of that."
[Thu Apr 13 20:14:09 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "As for me, I don't mind helping people, but I prefer to do that without getting killed We can fight those "abominations" right here, we don't need to go looking for them"
[Thu Apr 13 20:14:15 2006] : (5) Adrin: "Wandering into the marsh will likely tip the balance of your life towards the dead end"
[Thu Apr 13 20:14:22 2006] : (1) Taniel: "I've never gotten lost in 30 years of living here"
[Thu Apr 13 20:14:41 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "Please Aliatra. See the bigger picture. Something caused this. Fight the cause, not the effect"
[Thu Apr 13 20:15:25 2006] : (4) Lia: Lia looks at Aryadan "Well said indeed. Whever or whatever is behind this must be stopped"
[Thu Apr 13 20:15:28 2006] : (5) Adrin: "Well Taniel, if you are willing to guide us then it might be fun"
[Thu Apr 13 20:15:32 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "Will coming with you make you stop nagging me?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:15:59 2006] : (4) Lia: Lia shrugs
[Thu Apr 13 20:16:07 2006] : (4) Lia: "I am ready to go when you are Taniel"
[Thu Apr 13 20:16:10 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "I do not nag. I just see the more important course of action, and try to convince"
[Thu Apr 13 20:16:12 2006] : (2) Aryadan: ooc ooh!
[Thu Apr 13 20:16:31 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "But of course, that is always a personal opinion"
[Thu Apr 13 20:16:49 2006] : (3) Aliatra: Aliatra shurgs and gets her weapons and gear
[Thu Apr 13 20:16:51 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "I am ready to go"
[Thu Apr 13 20:17:03 2006] : (1) Taniel: "Just let me fetch my gear." Taniel heads of to his house and returns carrying a backpack, a stout staff and a short bow.
[Thu Apr 13 20:17:19 2006] : (5) Adrin: Adrin runs off to get his pack and sword
[Thu Apr 13 20:17:38 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "Lead on, oh fearless leader"
[Thu Apr 13 20:18:40 2006] : (1) Taniel: Taniel frowns slightly.
[Thu Apr 13 20:18:41 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "I think she's talking to you Lia"
[Thu Apr 13 20:18:55 2006] : (1) Taniel: "This way, take care where you step."
[Thu Apr 13 20:19:13 2006] : (2) Aryadan (whispering): Now Huerney would have said 'Snap' to him when he came out with the same gear, but Dan would never deem to say something like that... I had to stop myself!
[Thu Apr 13 20:19:35 2006] : whispering to Aryadan, lol
[Thu Apr 13 20:20:14 2006] : (1) DM: Taniel leads the way through the marshes, carefully choosing near invisible paths through the bogs and quagmires.
[Thu Apr 13 20:20:30 2006] : (4) Lia: Lia follows
[Thu Apr 13 20:20:39 2006] : (2) Aryadan: Dan takes care as he steps, but ensures he's in the middle of the pack
[Thu Apr 13 20:21:02 2006] : (1) DM: After two hours of careful travel the ground becomes drying and starts to slope upwards slightly.
[Thu Apr 13 20:21:03 2006] : (3) Aliatra: Aliatra brings up the back, bow in hand
[Thu Apr 13 20:21:08 2006] : (5) Adrin: Adrin stays right behind Taniel
[Thu Apr 13 20:21:22 2006] : (1) Taniel: "Almost there..."
[Thu Apr 13 20:21:51 2006] : (2) Aryadan: Dan looks visibly relieved to be back on firmer land
[Thu Apr 13 20:22:09 2006] : (1) Taniel: Looming out of the mist ahead is the squat, ruined tower situated on one of the rare high points of land in the marshes.
[Thu Apr 13 20:22:27 2006] : (1) Taniel: ooc any dwarfs or people with Knowledge: Engineering?
[Thu Apr 13 20:22:37 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "So that is our goal for today"
[Thu Apr 13 20:22:44 2006] : (2) Aryadan: ooc So this is what Ely looked like 10 centuries ago ;)
[Thu Apr 13 20:22:45 2006] : (3) Aliatra: ooc Nope
[Thu Apr 13 20:22:57 2006] : (2) Aryadan: ooc nope
[Thu Apr 13 20:23:08 2006] : (4) Lia: ooc and nope
[Thu Apr 13 20:23:14 2006] : (5) Adrin: ooc me barbarian!
[Thu Apr 13 20:23:32 2006] : (1) Taniel: "The ground here is no longer treacherous so you may make the rest of the way safely yourselfs."
[Thu Apr 13 20:23:47 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "Will you be waiting for us?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:23:49 2006] : (1) Taniel: "I will wait here for you to return until 2 hours before sundown."
[Thu Apr 13 20:24:09 2006] : (5) Adrin: ooc well, guess what I had just typed, word for word!!
[Thu Apr 13 20:24:20 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "And if we don't return this evening? Will you come back tomorrow?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:25:28 2006] : (1) Taniel: "If you do not return before sundown then you'll probably be dead. The tower is not large enough for you to spend more than a couple of hours within."
[Thu Apr 13 20:25:40 2006] : (1) Taniel: ooc brb
[Thu Apr 13 20:25:42 2006] : (4) Lia: ooc give me 3 minutes, starting now

[Thu Apr 13 20:25:52 2006] : (5) Adrin: "Well, theres a vote of confidence"
[Thu Apr 13 20:26:51 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "Indeed. If we find any secret tunnels inside we will have to return to report this evening"
[Thu Apr 13 20:27:16 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "It's amazing how easy they seem to be to find sometimes"
[Thu Apr 13 20:27:45 2006] : (1) Taniel: ooc where did Aryadan get experience with secret tunnels?
[Thu Apr 13 20:28:28 2006] : (1) Taniel: "Well, good luck."
[Thu Apr 13 20:28:28 2006] : (5) Adrin: ooc you know those elf types. Always making them
[Thu Apr 13 20:28:58 2006] : (2) Aryadan: ooc he's an elf, they just know about these things apparently
[Thu Apr 13 20:29:24 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "Shalll I go first then?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:29:42 2006] : (3) Aliatra: A switches her bow for her sword
[Thu Apr 13 20:29:52 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "If you wish. Maybe Adrin is better? He's light on his feet"
[Thu Apr 13 20:30:10 2006] : (5) Adrin: "How about both of us then?"
[Thu Apr 13 20:30:35 2006] : (2) Aryadan: "I'm sure Lia and I can look after each other at the back"
[Thu Apr 13 20:30:40 2006] : (3) Aliatra: "Let's go and do some chopping up"
[Thu Apr 13 20:30:56 2006] : (3) Aliatra: Aliatra goes over to the tower
[Thu Apr 13 20:30:58 2006] : (5) Adrin: "Indeed", Adrin draws his sword

[Thu Apr 13 20:31:20 2006] : (4) Lia: Lia has her sickle in hand
[Thu Apr 13 20:31:24 2006] : (2) Aryadan: Dan keeps his bow in hand for now
[Thu Apr 13 20:33:10 2006] : (3) Aliatra: ooc Is the door to the tower locked?
[Thu Apr 13 20:33:30 2006] : (1) Taniel: Can I have some listen checks.
[Thu Apr 13 20:33:34 2006] : (5) Adrin: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+8] -> [11,8] = (19)

[Thu Apr 13 20:34:08 2006] : (2) Aryadan: ooc that's wrong

[Thu Apr 13 22:33:15 2006] : (4) Lia: "I doubt that we want to bsnap all of our swords"
