[20:12] <@ GWRD> Our group, strangers to this land, awaken the next morning refreshed from a fair night's rest, dispite the conditions that brought them here.
[20:12] * Tolman is now known as Ptolamir
[20:12] * Tindai_Edo sets mode: +vvv Dragoon_Kevoyan Garun_Degiron TolBot
[20:12] * @Ptolamir rolls up his mat and thumbs through his spell book.
[20:13] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan checks on his horse and his weapons.
[20:13] * @Tindai_Edo packs up his tent, and all that into the places, either in Rhykirs Saddlebag or his Bag of Holding.
[20:15] <@Ptolamir> (you’ve named your weapons AND your horse?)
[20:15] <@Tindai_Edo> (Yes… )
[20:15] <@ GWRD> The greasy haired elf sits in the same spot where he was yesterday, on a smooth fallen log. He looks up at the path you came from with a quizzical look.
[20:15] * +Garun_Degiron collects his belongings and then shaves half of his face
[20:15] <+Lux> ( you cna blame me for that )
[20:16] * +Lux was packing up his gear as well, tent and all and putting it all together in/on his backpack
[20:16] <@Tindai_Edo> (I always name my companions… as for my weapons, its getting into character :P )
[20:17] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “So – who's scouting?”
[20:18] * @Ptolamir finishes his morning ritual, and walks up to the greasy-haired elf, “So, we go this way or that?”
[20:18] <@ GWRD> You then hear the rattle of a wagon, and the clip-clop of multiple horses.
[20:18] * @Ptolamir looks down the path at the sound.
[20:18] <@ GWRD> “It sounds like another approaches.”
[20:18] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan looks in the direction of the hooves. He reaches for his musket and ammo box.
[20:18] * @Tindai_Edo turns in the direction of the sound, hands going for the Tsuka's of his blades.
[20:19] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Clerics to the rear.”
[20:19] <@ GWRD> Emerging from the path, a wagon pulled by 4 heavy horses enters the clearing, driven by a halfling adored in tattoos.
[20:19] * +Lux gives a laugh as he starts to strap on his shield and draws his sword before walking to the front.
[20:19] <@ GWRD> (Enter Animal)
[20:20] <@Ptolamir> “Is this the Keeper of this land? or another traveller stuck here?”
[20:20] * +Animal would slowly come into view riding a camel as a heavy wagon, followed along being pulled by 4 large horses. She herself was an interseting site. While she was tall for a halfling, a whole 3'8“, she had few hair save for the fiery hair on the top of her head that flowed behind her like flames, and had the tattoos of a barbarian. She made her way into the clearing, seeming unconcerned
[20:20] * +Animal for the moment.
[20:20] <+Lux> “Looks too small for one of those, and coming from the wrong direction.”
[20:21] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan sling shis musket over his hsoulder with barrel pointing down
[20:22] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Good day to you, mistress teamster. What brought you here?”
[20:22] * @Tindai_Edo gives the new comer an oddluck before he chuckles, “Well, now I can say I've seen everything…“
[20:23] * +Animal chuckles “same that brought you all here I'd imagine.” She turned to Lux and tsked. “I'm tall for my kind thank you very much.”
[20:24] * +Lux shruged looking down at Animal “And I could still punt you without much effort.” he gave a laugh and sheathed his bastard sword. “Guess Diplomacy wont be needed….”
[20:24] * @Tindai_Edo finishes packing his gear, and brushes Rhykir down before tossing his riding gear on Rhykir's back.
[20:25] * @Ptolamir lowers his heightened awareness.
[20:25] * +Animal patted Wassima's head as she spoke. “that might come in handy in battle.”
[20:25] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan gives Lux a look.
[20:26] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I am Dragoon Kevoyan, of Lord Koschei First Army, mistress teamster. Might I know your name?'
[20:27] * +Animal tilted her head at Dragoon ”Animal“
[20:28] * @Ptolamir nods, “Ptolamir.”
[20:28] <@Tindai_Edo> “I'm not going to ask how you got that name. . .” he grins a little bit, “Tindai Edo, former Samurai of the Xenui empire.”
[20:28] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Please to make your acquaintance, Animal.”
[20:29] * +Lux looked down at the little halfling ”Lux“
[20:29] * +Garun_Degiron eyes the newcomer continues shaving and says “Name is Garun”
[20:29] * +Animal looked at Lux deadpan. “i don't like Orcs, you might want to stand over there” she pointed to the other end of the clearing.
[20:30] <@Ptolamir> “Well, he’s stuck in this land same as the rest of us, so I suggest you get over yourself.”
[20:30] * +Garun_Degiron chuckles and almost cuts himself
[20:31] <@Ptolamir> “Trust me. I’ve been lost before. There’s safety in numbers.”
[20:31] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “As you can see, we are all from different lands. I was wondering if you remembered anything about the circumstances that brought you here?”
[20:31] * +Lux just nodded in agreement “Yes, like it or not we're a Company. We work together or we die alone here.”
[20:31] <+Animal> “none at all. I was there, now i'm here. What else really matters?”
[20:34] <@ GWRD> The greasy haired elf watches from his smooth stump, poking at the embers of the fire.
[20:35] <+Garun_Degiron> “We were going to visit that church the Elf mentioned”
[20:35] <+Animal> “Well, ok then, lets go.”
[20:36] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan shrugs his shoulder and walks to his horse.
[20:36] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Come on, old man. We've got pay to earn.”
[20:37] * +Garun_Degiron joins the others ready to leave
[20:37] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan mounts his horse and clicks his tongue.
[20:37] * @Tindai_Edo mounts his well, mount, “To the church then?”
[20:37] * +Lux startsmoving towards the front of the line and walking, shield carried for now and sword sheathed
[20:37] * +Animal urged her camel and horses to follow the others.
[20:38] <+Garun_Degiron> (to bad the only mount options were mule or horse, would have been fun to have a mountain ram)
[20:38] <@Ptolamir> “Yes, let’s go to the church area”
[20:38] * @Ptolamir moves ahead.
[20:39] * +Garun_Degiron moves next to Ptolamir and asks ” You said you have been lost before. Any place similar to this?”
[20:39] * @Tindai_Edo moves up to the front with Lux, “So, Diplomacy is her name. Does she have a suitable story behind it?”
[20:40] * @Ptolamir looks around, “Not similar at all. Shipwrecked on a jungle island.”
[20:42] <+Garun_Degiron> “That is what you get for traveling on a ship… I can't believe people use those”
[20:42] <@Ptolamir> “Don’t look for me on one agian.”
[20:43] <@ GWRD> The travel is easy through the pass. The stone is well worn from a great deal of travel, and the path is wide enough to accommodate several horses and riders standing a breast. The air as you descend has a increasingly pine fresh scent to it.
[20:44] * +Lux chuckled and gave an orcish grin at Tindai “A man tried to delay the enivatble with a false surrender. he tried to use words to talk his way around while his reinforcements drew closer. One of my Company's scouts saw this, relaied the info and I killed the man. My leader said the line “That's Diplomacy for you.” and thats how she was named.”
[20:45] <@Tindai_Edo> “Ah, agreed. Suitable name indeed, Mine are” he pats the Tsuka of his Katana, “Shihö, or Honor in your tongue, my family blade, and” he pats his Wakizashi, “Meiyo, or Justice. . . The blade that removed my fathers head at the hands of the Emperor, a dept I will repay.”
[20:45] <@Tindai_Edo> (debt)
[20:46] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Never saw the need to name a weapon.”
[20:46] <@Tindai_Edo> “One does not name a weapon, a weapon earns the name.”
[20:46] * +Lux nodded in agreement “Indeed, and good names as well.”
[20:47] * +Garun_Degiron overhears this and lets out a laugh “ You might have to come up with a name by the end of this adventure”
[20:47] <@ GWRD> Soon you reach the opening in the pass, where off in the distance, in a valley surrounded by a forest of thick fur trees, you spy a sprawling temple compound, encircling a grove of trees in the epicenter. High thick stone walls watch over the compound, silently guarding its ward from the encroaching forest, threatening to overtake the lands within. A thick iron gate provides the only entrance on the south side of the wall.
[20:47] <@ GWRD> (If that cut off for anybody let me know)
[20:48] * @Ptolamir shakes his head at the naming conversation as they move along.
[20:49] * +Garun_Degiron as he is getting closer looks over the stonework trying to determine make and age
[20:49] <+Garun_Degiron> 1d20+5 (stonemasonry)
[20:49] <+TolBot> Garun_Degiron's 1d20(4)+5 '(stonemasonry)']: 9
[20:49] <+Garun_Degiron> (ugh, starting early )
[20:50] <@ GWRD> (The temple is still a bit of a distance away, so stonemasonry is a little pre-mature)
[20:50] <+Garun_Degiron> (well i fail when i get close enough)
[20:50] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan looks around for good places for cover.
[20:50] * +Lux is looking at the stone work from an engineer's prespective. Not to do anything but admire how it was build and how strong it still appears. he makes a motion over towards teh gate and looks back to Animal “There's a gate over there if you cant see it.”
[20:51] <@ GWRD> There is plenty of cover provided by the fir trees that lead up to the temple, though it looks as if the path wears out a bit leading to the temple.
[20:51] <+Animal> “I'm on a camel, i'm short, it's not. I can see it…barely” muttered under her breath.
[20:52] * +Lux grinned but didnt laugh at Animal. He was looking around too, mostly for anbush points since he expected bandits to be on aroad like this.
[20:54] * @Tindai_Edo rides quietly pulling Chokyu, his longbow, from his back, and tests the string and whatnot making sure its ready should he need it while on horseback
[20:54] <@ GWRD> Aside from the temple, there appears to be barely any sign of civilization here. The forest itself looks very old, as if it was here far longer than anything else here.
[20:54] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan slows down, unshouldering his musket.
[20:55] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Stay here, old man.”
[20:55] * +Animal pulled out a throwing axe from one of wassima's saddle bags.
[20:55] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan opens up his ammo box and takes out a paper cartridge.
[20:55] * +Lux with everyone else drawing their weapons he draws the bastsardsword Diplomacy so he doesnt feel left out.
[20:56] <@ GWRD> (Continuing on to the temple, staying put and surveying the area, or exploring the outskirts first?)
[20:56] * @Ptolamir looks around, “Abandoned. So are we the only ones brought here?”
[20:57] * +Garun_Degiron pulls his shield from his back as wll seeing how others forsee an attack
[20:57] <@Tindai_Edo> 1d20+2 perception (scanning the landscape for anything of immediate interest)
[20:57] <+TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(9)+2 'perception (scanning the landscape for anything of immediate interest)']: 11
[20:57] <+Lux> “I'd like to get a better lay of the land before we go in.”
[20:58] <+Lux> 1d20+1 perception
[20:58] <+TolBot> Lux's 1d20(12)+1 'perception']: 13
[20:58] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan bites open the cartridge, dumps the gunpower in and stuffs the paper in.
[20:58] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan puts in the ball and rams it down tight.
[20:58] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Agreed.”
[20:58] <+Garun_Degiron> (any signs of life? like smooke or noise?)
[20:58] * @Tindai_Edo looks to the others with a sign of slight confusion, “You do know that I was jus' making sure it was strung and ready right?” he puts his bow back across his back after he's sure its good and ready.
[20:58] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan pulls back the hammer and puts in a percussion cap.
[20:59] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Now, I'm ready for whatever happens.”
[20:59] <@ GWRD> (Perception check Garun)
[20:59] <+Lux> “We're in prime country for an ambush tooo.”
[20:59] <@Tindai_Edo> (we hid a bump.. Dragoons gun fires… Animals horses go into a frenzy, <member> poops themselves… )
[20:59] <+Garun_Degiron> 1d20+3 perseption
[20:59] <+TolBot> Garun_Degiron's 1d20(3)+3 'perseption']: 6
[21:00] <+Garun_Degiron> (low numbers are good in pathfinder… right?)
[21:00] <@ GWRD> You perceive little, except for the sounds of birds.
[21:00] <@ GWRD> (Absolutely)
[21:00] <@ GWRD> (Evil wink)
[21:00] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> (brb)
[21:01] <@ GWRD> (And I missed some perception checks from earlier…)
[21:02] * @Ptolamir peers ahead, “Into the courtyard?
[21:02] <@ GWRD> Tindai and Lux get little more than the songs of birds, and that the roofs of the structures in the temple itself look to be in decent shape.
[21:05] <@Tindai_Edo> “Shall we go and see what horror stories await us in this church?”
[21:05] <+Garun_Degiron> “There is only one way to go and that is forward!
[21:05] * +Lux gave a nod “it's not like we're going to do anything else in this place.”
[21:05] * @Ptolamir nods and moves forward.
[21:06] <+Garun_Degiron> (Ptolamir seems to know the way i will protect his back)
[21:06] <@Ptolamir> (ha)
[21:07] <@ GWRD> A large iron gate, flanked on either side by 30’ high thick stone walls stands vigil here. Vines have begun to wrap around the bars closest to the walls, attempting to choke the life out of the bars, as if they were sentient.
[21:07] * @Ptolamir looks at the path underfoot, “It is older, or more desolate the closer we get.
[21:07] * +Lux sticks close to the front, shield up and sword tucked back
[21:07] * @Ptolamir moves up and looks at the gate, looking for signs of use or danger.
[21:08] <@ GWRD> The path leaving up to the gate was indeed less traveled the closer to the center of the forest you reached. It starts getting a little more worn the closer to the temple you get.
[21:08] <@Ptolamir> 1d20+3
[21:08] <+TolBot> Ptolamir's 1d20(15)+3]: 18
[21:08] * +Animal brought up the rear, and looked at the gate as she got near to see if her wagon would fit through it.
[21:08] <+Garun_Degiron> (ay man/woman who survived a ship voyage either knows what they are doing or is incredibly lucky)
[21:08] <@Ptolamir> (sorry, misread the path desc earlier)
[21:08] <@ GWRD> (I forgot to add it, so I added it as you brought it up)
[21:08] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan rides near the middle of the group, musket resting on his saddle
[21:10] <+Garun_Degiron> (how common are muskets in this world?)
[21:10] <@ GWRD> The gate itself seems old and in a little disrepair, but easily able to handle a wagon and travelers. You do hear the faint sound of children crying beyond the gate, somewhere near what appears to be a stables.
[21:10] <@ GWRD> (Not very common.)
[21:10] <+Garun_Degiron> (so i probably heard of them but not seen them used)
[21:10] <@ GWRD> (More rare to very rare, depending on where you come from)
[21:10] <@ GWRD> (Yeah)
[21:10] <+Lux> “Steady feet, dont rush forward!”
[21:11] * +Lux he'd heard of tricks like this and witnessed a few where those suckers who rushed forward towards the cries of help would stumble head first into a trap
[21:11] <@Ptolamir> “children”
[21:12] <@ GWRD> The gate at the moment is closed.
[21:12] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Looks like we were not expected.”
[21:12] * +Lux sheathed his sword and moved to test the gates to see if they will open nicely
[21:12] * @Tindai_Edo cracks his neck, “if they are hurting the children, the church grounds will run red.”
[21:13] <@ GWRD> (Strength check for Lux, everybody else Perception checks… DC 15)
[21:13] <@Tindai_Edo> 1d20+2 vs dc15 perception

[21:13] <+TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d20(20)+8 '(perception)']: 28 (Nailed it!)
[21:13] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> (And there goes that 20)
[21:13] <+Lux> ( perceptions checks are a good use for it )
[21:14] * @Tindai_Edo dismounts to help lux with the gate
[21:14] <@ GWRD> The gate does not bulge, however Garun, Animal, and Kevoyan notice the vines choking the bars at the sides of the gate start moving towards Lux.
[21:14] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “FREEZE!”
[21:14] <@Tindai_Edo> 1d20+4 str
[21:14] <+TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(2)+4 'str']: 6

[21:14] * +TolBot blinks.

[21:17] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan dismounts and unsheathes a silver dagger.
[21:17] <@ GWRD> Those who were successful in their Perception may have a single move or standard action this round.
[21:17] <+Lux> ( Im doing my job and being ameatshield )
[21:17] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Pull back! Pull back so I can cut them!”

[21:17] <@Ptolamir> (Can I cone the vines?)
[21:17] <+Garun_Degiron> (so vines are just moving towards Lux?)
[21:18] <@Ptolamir> (I had an 18 percept)
[21:18] <@ GWRD> (You can cone one of the two vines.)
[21:18] <@ GWRD> (Then you spotted them, and I missed your roll)
[21:18] * +Animal threw the axe in her hand at the vine without hesitation. (i can do this yes?)
[21:18] <@ GWRD> (Kevoyan, Animal, Garun, Vines, Ptolamir act this round)
[21:19] <@ GWRD> (Yes you can do this)
[21:19] * +Garun_Degiron moves next to Lux and readies his axe
[21:19] <@ GWRD> The vines begin to move towards Lux and Tindai as a warning is let out from the others.
[21:19] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan lashes out at the vines with his dagger

[21:21] <@ GWRD> (You would still hit one. There are 2 vines on either side of the gate, with Lux and Tindai in the middle trying to push it open. You could hit both vines if you went to either end of the gate and burned everything in front of the gate.)
[21:21] <@Tindai_Edo> (jus' roll it then multiply it by your modifier lol)

[21:25] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> ([censored] you, Bot.)
[21:26] <@ GWRD> Animal throws one of her axes at the left most vine, hacking deep into the vine, as Kevoyan puts a bullet into the meaty pulp, spray splinters out of its length.

[21:27] <@ GWRD> (Is that your flat footed AC also Tindai?)
[21:28] <@Tindai_Edo> (Flat is 18, so I guess I'm hit)
[21:28] <@ GWRD> Lux is caught completely off-guard as the vine slams into him and starts trying to constrict around him, as Tindai is similarly caught off guard.
[21:28] <@ GWRD> 1d8+7 damage to Tindai
[21:28] <+TolBot> GWRD's 1d8(6)+7 'damage to Tindai']: 13

[21:29] <@Tindai_Edo> (rofl.. my CMD is 22)
[21:30] * @Ptolamir maneuvers to lay down a 20ft line of fire consuming both vines. (move only this round, right?)
[21:30] <@ GWRD> Lux, while taken aback by the hit, is quick enough to slip out from the vines before they wrap around his torso. Tindai however is not as lucky, and is caught by the legs.
[21:30] <@ GWRD> (Correct Tol)
[21:30] <@ GWRD> Next round…

[21:33] <+Garun_Degiron> (last round i got close to Lux and Tin, can i try to pull Tindai away from the gate?)
[21:34] <@ GWRD> The throwing axe buries itself into the vine, and falls loose, leaving a slight gash that seems to seep a light amount of blood and sap.
[21:34] <@ GWRD> (You can try, but he's grappled at the moment, and that might pull the vine with him.)
[21:34] <+Garun_Degiron> (then ill just attack)

[21:39] <+Lux> ( yeah thats a miss )
[21:40] <@ GWRD> One of the vines continues to squeeze the life out of Tindai, and is dragging him back towards the base of the gate where it has taken root. The other vine continues to try in vain to ensnare Lux.
[21:40] <@ GWRD> (Tindai, Lux, Ptolamir)

[21:42] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> (I'm a trained escape artist…don't judge)
[21:42] <@ GWRD> Tindai attempts to struggle to free himself from the vine, but the blood loss from the encounter is leaving him weakened.

[21:43] <@ GWRD> Lux slashes into the vine and swings wide hoping to clip the vine that was attack him prior.
[21:43] <@ GWRD> (Ptolamir, then Kevoyan and Animal)
[21:44] <@Ptolamir> (Can I burn one or both without burining comrades?)

[21:47] <@Ptolamir> (fail save means keeps burning and takes 1d6 start of next round)
[21:48] <@ GWRD> Ptolamir lets loose a jet of fire, which immolates the vine, causing it to burn and bubble in its open wounds until it stops moving.
[21:48] <+Garun_Degiron> (all this commotion and noise shold attract any people living in this palce, is anyone showing up?)
[21:48] <@ GWRD> (Maybe >:) )
[21:48] <@ GWRD> (A round is only 6 seconds, so only 12-15 seconds thus far have past)
[21:48] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Mommy! they're killing Fluffy!)
[21:49] <@ GWRD> (Kevoyan, Animal, Garun. Only 1 vine remains)

[21:50] <@Tindai_Edo> (she rubbed Zio-juice on it)
[21:51] <@ GWRD> You knife strikes continue to find no clink in the bark of the vine, as the tattooed halfling's throwing axe buries itself true into the plant.

[21:52] <+TolBot> Garun_Degiron's 1d10(8)+5]: 13
[21:53] <@ GWRD> Garun exploits a previous cut in the vine, slicing clean through the base. The vines squeezing the life out of Tindai go slack as the vine dies.
[21:54] * +Garun_Degiron looks around for any further threats
[21:54] * +Lux seems to gather something up in his mouth before spitting out alitlte blood on the corpse of the vine in front of him
[21:54] <@ GWRD> (End combat)
[21:54] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan takes a deep breath, sheathing the dagger with shaking hands.

[21:55] <+Garun_Degiron> “All this Yard work is making me thirsty”
[21:55] * +Animal slides from Wassima's back and goes to get her axes.
[21:56] <+Animal> “I have spare water in my cart if you need it. No alcohol though, sorry.” she spoke as she picked up her last axe.
[21:56] <+Garun_Degiron> “A bath can wait”
[21:56] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Well…now that we've shouted 'Gods' enough times, let see if they answer.”
[21:56] <+Lux> “Baaah we need some mead after that. or a Cleric”
[21:57] <@ GWRD> (Knowledge: Nature check if anybody wants to try to identify the vines)

[22:03] <@ GWRD> The gate is stubborn.
[22:03] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan guides the horse up to the gate, examines the plants to make sure they;re not going to move.

[22:07] <+Garun_Degiron> (are the vines blocking the hinges or something, can we cut them away?)
[22:08] <@ GWRD> The gate lets out a large clinking ring as you hit it with your sword
[22:08] * @Tindai_Edo growls at the abuse of the blade and attempts one last time after Lux's 'vicious' attack. . .
[22:08] <@Tindai_Edo> 1d20+4
[22:08] <+TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(15)+4]: 19
[22:09] <@ GWRD> With renewed vigor over the abuse of a sword, Tindai pushes on the gate, causing its hinges to squeal in protest as they move the gate open.
[22:09] <@ GWRD> Just past the gates, a variety of buildings spread out around the courtyard. The cries of children can be heard coming from an alley between an empty looking guard house and a stable building, off to your right. Ahead at the end of the courtyard stands and impressive sized building, while off to the left are several houses, likely for the guests of the temple.
[22:10] * @Ptolamir shakes his head.
[22:10] <+Garun_Degiron> (still no sign of inhabitants apart from the children voices?)
[22:10] <@ GWRD> (Correct)
[22:11] <+Garun_Degiron> “I dont like this, if anyone was still around they would have heard us comming”
[22:11] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan walks his horse to the gate. “Wait here, old man. Try not to get eaten.”
[22:11] * @Tindai_Edo whistles for Rhykir to follow
[22:12] <@ GWRD> The temple is quiet, except for the sound of the children.
[22:12] * +Lux was pushing forward, moving near to the front of the group with shield and blade drawn
[22:13] * +Garun_Degiron moves slowly ahead looking for those children or anyone else that inhabits this place
[22:13] * @Tindai_Edo moves forward slowly, keeping his hands on the Tsukas of his blades

[22:14] <+TolBot> Lux's 1d20(9)+1 'Perception!']: 10
[22:14] <@ GWRD> You approach the stables where the stink of decay and death can be easily observed coming from this building, which appears to be a stable. The double doors of the stable, appear to be slightly ajar, with a scrap of holey cloth apparently discarded by the doorway.
[22:14] * +Animal pulled out her great axe as she moved behind the rest of the group. “not right” she whispers uner her breath.
[22:15] * @Tindai_Edo draws his Katana, and uses it to open the stable door
[22:15] <@ GWRD> “Don't go in there.” A meek voice, coming from one of the guest houses behind you says.
[22:16] * +Lux and goes into a defensive stance by Tindai as he hears that voice
[22:16] * +Garun_Degiron looks around searching for who said that
[22:16] * @Tindai_Edo turns back and looks towards the voice, “Why not?”
[22:16] <@ GWRD> You push open the door, and a skeletal hand scraps across the floor with a few grubs wiggling free of the bone.
[22:17] <@ GWRD> One of the doors to the two guest houses opposite the stables is ajar, and a rail thin child peers out suspiciously at your group. He slams the door shut as he sees you spot him.
[22:18] <+Garun_Degiron> (the hand moved on its own or it moved because the door pushed it)
[22:18] * @Ptolamir points the child out to the others.
[22:18] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan brings his musket to bear on the hand, then raises his back up when he sees the child.
[22:18] <@ GWRD> (Because the door pushed it)
[22:18] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Prophets in their houses! Child! Get away from there!”
[22:19] * @Tindai_Edo draws his Wakizashi in his offhand, “Well when the going gets tough, the tough make a mess,” he grins and steps in.
[22:19] <@Ptolamir> “Oh my”
[22:19] <@Tindai_Edo> (My AC is now at 22, get +1 to AC with both weapons drawn :D)
[22:20] * +Lux smirks thinking to himself as he enters the room with Tindai
[22:20] * +Garun_Degiron follows (the two fools)
[22:21] * +Animal remained outside to watch their backs, though she did slide form Wassima's back.
[22:21] <@ GWRD> The interior of the stables reeks of death, and a squishy wriggling sound can be heard from within. A skeleton lies dead by the door, it's flesh picked clean, as a few ugly white grubs wriggle around its body.
[22:22] <@ GWRD> Deeper in the stables, from several of the stalls, you see hundreds if not thousands of white grubs start pouring out of the stalls towards you.
[22:22] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Crap! CRAP!”
[22:23] <+Garun_Degiron> “we need FIRE”
[22:23] <@ GWRD> (Actions?)
[22:23] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan looks around for a torch
[22:23] * +Garun_Degiron takes a step back outside
[22:23] * +Lux can only agree with Garun as he starts to back up or move out of the door way so the fire mage can do their thing.
[22:24] * @Tindai_Edo gets out of the way as well, “Fire them up”
[22:24] <@ GWRD> (Moving to initiative then?)
[22:25] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> (sure – it's been twenty whole seconds since we've killed something)
[22:25] <+Garun_Degiron> (and i will assist Ptolamir with his initiative roll)
[22:25] <@ GWRD> The brave fighters start running out of the stables, yelling they need fire, as the rest of you watch.
[22:26] <+Lux> ( and now we can kill thousands of things )
[22:26] <@Tindai_Edo> (I don't run from no grubs, jus' making room so I don't get all roasty toasty)
[22:26] * @Ptolamir moves forward looking for the toruble.
[22:26] <@Ptolamir> (*trouble)
[22:26] <+Garun_Degiron> (yeah i will stop just outside the stable doors trying not to block Ptolamirs fire skillz)
[22:27] <@ GWRD> Ptolamir, you move toward the stable doors as a carpet of white grubs start pouring out of the doorway towards your group.
[22:27] <+Garun_Degiron> (do grubs explode like popcorn when fired up?)
[22:27] <@Ptolamir> (we can take action?)
[22:28] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> (kinda)
[22:28] <@ GWRD> (Any attack action will move us to initiative)
[22:28] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan backs up
[22:28] <@Ptolamir> (can we just move away, or does it feel like we must deal with the worms?)
[22:28] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Someone get some lamp oil and a torch!”
[22:29] <@ GWRD> (They move at a speed of 10, so if you wanted to flee you could successfully)
[22:29] <+Animal> “why not just move away?”
[22:29] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Yes, I will successfully flee)
[22:29] * +Lux with no imediate fire coming he was going to back up and move out of the stables “Cause more idiots like those skeletons and us will wander in there
[22:30] * @Ptolamir turns to look at Dragoon, “I am your torch.”
[22:30] * @Ptolamir grins and lets loose a burning hands.
[22:30] <@ GWRD> (Ok that will be initiative… which will be next week)
[22:31] <@ GWRD> As Ptolamir places the tips of his thumbs together and spreads his finger out wide into a fan shape…
[22:31] * Ptolamir is now known as Tolman
[22:31] <@ GWRD> This session comes to a close for the evening.
