[20:38] <Tindai_Edo> (Lazy Persons Recap: http://www.grovewoodsaga.com/doku.php?id=campaigns:stota:session_17_-_10-16-2016_-_ghasts_at_the_gate )
[20:38] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> Waking up in a strange place (for some is a nightly ritual, others not so much), our intrepid adventurers have found themselves in a strange land of ghasts, whores and evil.
[20:39] * @Tolman sits down and eats popcorn while he listens.
[20:44] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> Travelling from a forbidding monastery to an inviting town with a forbidding tower, our band has run afoul of a great and powerful evil that commands the birds as spies and tigers as assassins. Retreating to the monestary, our bands fought off a pack of ghasts, but to lose a member of the party. Finding his body, the group hopes to heal him before worse things follow.
[20:47] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Ta-Da)
[20:47] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Not very good at summing up, I'm afraid)
[20:49] <GWRD> As the door creeks open to reveal the interior of a 10 x 15 foot room, you spy Tindai lying in the cell…
[20:49] <GWRD> As our session begins.
[20:51] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Tindai?”
[20:51] <Tindai_Edo> (Assuming I'm still paralyzed)
[20:51] Dragoon_Kevoyan shoulders his musket and draws his dagger.
[20:52] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (If you;re injured, slump to the left. If you're fine, slump to the right)
[20:52] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> Tindai You well?“
[20:53] <GWRD> (You are not paralyzed)
[20:53] Tindai_Edo groans
[20:53] <GWRD> (Though you are still wounded)
[20:53] <Tindai_Edo> “Thought I was going to die…“
[20:54] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Better luck, next time. How badly are you injured?”
[20:54] Dragoon_Kevoyan moves forward.
[20:54] <Tindai_Edo> “I've been worse off. . .” (26/67)
[20:54] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Watch the door, someone.”
[20:55] Animal moves to watch the door.
[20:55] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Well – good news, I'm here. Carrying the burden of being the most handsome man on hte battleield has been a chore, so let me heal you and you can carry your part.”
[20:55] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (casting cure light wounds)
[20:56] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “stand and deliver.”
[20:56] Tindai_Edo laughs
[20:56] Dragoon_Kevoyan touches Tindai on the chest and lets the healing energy flow through him
[20:56] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d8+1
[20:56] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d8(1)+1]: 2
[20:57] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (wow – here's your bandaid, put it over the artery that's bleeding the worse)
[20:57] <GWRD> You enter the 15 x 10 foot filty cell, passing healing energy barely into Tindai On the other side of the wall you hear the sounds of something snarling, like a dog or a wolf.
[20:57] Tindai_Edo reaches into his bag of holding and withdraws a potion of cure light wounds and downs it
[20:57] <Tindai_Edo> 1d8+1
[20:57] <TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d8(4)+1]: 5
[20:58] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Can you walk?”
[20:58] * Tolman is now known as Ptolamir
[20:58] Tindai_Edo gets to his feet
[20:58] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> Animal Would you be a friend and walk our friend out of here?”
[20:58] Dragoon_Kevoyan unshoulders his musket.
[20:59] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “There's something snarling in the next room, and I would like to shoot it unhindered.”
[20:59] Animal nods and takes Tindai and helps him out.
[20:59] Ptolamir scans side to side.
[21:00] <GWRD> The courtyard and corridor are both quiet, as you scan the area.
[21:00] Tindai_Edo goes willingly
[21:00] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Examin the place further, or leave it?”
[21:00] Dragoon_Kevoyan stays to the rear, walking backwards witht eh musket leveled and ready to shoot.
[21:01] <Tindai_Edo> “We need to find the source of this undeath and rid the place of it”
[21:02] Animal keeps her weapon ready in her free hand as she aids Tindai.
[21:02] * Lady_Dolphin (Mysterious@sorcery-nvl92u.ca.charter.com) has joined #grovewood
[21:02] * TolBot eyes Lady_Dolphin
[21:02] <GWRD> (Howdy)
[21:02] <Lady_Dolphin> (Hi! Sorry I'm late. Family's been sick.)
[21:02] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Sounds like a day to me. Where should be start the fires?”
[21:03] <Ptolamir> “Dare we stay here?”
[21:04] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “We can if we find a place that's easily defensible.”
[21:04] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “One way in and out, sleep in shifts.”
[21:04] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Or as my commander would call it – Monday.”
[21:05] <GWRD> You hear snarls coming from one of the other doors, along with some light sniffing.
[21:07] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Let's get out of here. I'm not a fan of dogs…or what passes for dogs here.”
[21:07] <Animal> “We have to deal with the undead and those behind it sooner or later.”
[21:08] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Later. Much later.”
[21:08] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Let's fall back.”
[21:09] Ptolamir nods.
[21:10] Animal shakes her head but begins to fall back.
[21:10] Tindai_Edo falls back
[21:10] <GWRD> You withdraw back to the courtyard to regroup.
[21:10] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (have we checked the rooms on the left?)
[21:10] <Lady_Dolphin> (This all seems very familiar :3)
[21:11] <GWRD> (Everything you've checked or visited before you can see.)
[21:12] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (ok)
[21:12] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Let's get into the rooms over here. Rest, get ourselves back together and then clear the rest of this place? Agreed?”
[21:14] <Ptolamir> “Right, yes.”
[21:14] <Tindai_Edo> “Rest would be nice, a little more time to bandage these wounds.”
[21:14] Dragoon_Kevoyan walks to the door and tries to open it.
[21:15] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Knock, knock – we're just going to commander yur room for a night. Sure you're used to that sort of thing.”
[21:15] <GWRD> The door to the guest house you previously stayed at, opens with ease.
[21:16] Dragoon_Kevoyan looks around – windows?
[21:20] <GWRD> The building, constructed in a similiar Tien (Oriental) style as the main temple, lacks windows. It is as if the building was created out of several solid sheets of stone, separated by doors that were added in later for convenience. The center of the building has a common area, with a small fire pit in the center, with two bedrooms to either side for guests.
[21:20] Dragoon_Kevoyan listens at the upper set of doors
[21:21] <GWRD> The building is quiet, as if it has no occupants at this time.
[21:22] <Ptolamir> “It’s quiet.”
[21:22] <Tindai_Edo> “Too quiet…“
[21:22] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Hopefully, this will be a good quiet.”
[21:23] Dragoon_Kevoyan looks around for something to bar the doors close.
[21:23] Ptolamir nods at Tindai.
[21:25] <GWRD> There is not much available that can bar the doors closed, but you do find a fire poker that may help keep the door shut.
[21:25] Dragoon_Kevoyan jams the poker into the door to keep it closed.
[21:26] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “That won't stop a determined toddler, but better than leaving the door wide open. Tindai Are you feeling better?”
[21:26] Tindai_Edo pulls Diplomacy out of his bag, and hands it to Dragoon
[21:27] <Ptolamir> “Would it help were I to place an alarm on the door?”
[21:28] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Yes – or if you can make the door explode if someone messes with it, that would be better.”
[21:28] Ptolamir rubs his chin.
[21:28] <Ptolamir> “That is more difficult.”
[21:28] Dragoon_Kevoyan takes Diplomacy and takes a small experimental swing.
[21:29] <Ptolamir> “If we keep a fire going through the night, I can create an impenetrable wall around our abode.“
[21:29] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I'm afraid that I am not skilled with this weapon. I think it is better in your hands, Tindai I'll stick with shooting people in anger.”
[21:29] Dragoon_Kevoyan hands Diplomacy back to Tindai.
[21:30] <Tindai_Edo> “Use it to bar the door”
[21:30] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I think we have enough people to tend the fire. What? oh – yes, that would be a good idea.”
[21:30] Dragoon_Kevoyan takes Diplomacy and uses it to secure the door.
[21:30] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (something something, political jooke about diplomacy keeping doors shut)
[21:31] <GWRD> You wedge Diplomacy and the poker in the door in hopes it will keep the nightmarish horrors out.
[21:31] Animal paced in the corner. Glad that she knew who was with her animals but she still didnt like being this far from them.
[21:32] <Ptolamir> (lol, actually, not imprenetrable… just does 1d6 fire damage if they enter)
[21:32] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (well – it'll keep out the NPCs and the kittens)
[21:32] <Ptolamir> (several minions)
[21:33] Ptolamir moves to the door and lifts his rod, casting an alarm spell on the door.
[21:35] <Lady_Dolphin> (twitter)
[21:35] Ptolamir turns, “The key word to exit and enter without setting it off is “NonKaboodle’”
[21:36] <GWRD> You barricade yourselves in, as Ptolamir uses his magic upon the door and tells you the nonsensical word to get in and out.
[21:36] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Hmm…works.”
[21:37] Dragoon_Kevoyan sets his musket against a corner and tends to Tendai.
[21:38] <Ptolamir> (Tending Tendai?)
[21:38] <Lady_Dolphin> (Tinding Tendai)
[21:38] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Tender Tinder?)
[21:39] <GWRD> (How are you tending to him?)
[21:39] <Lady_Dolphin> (Tindai's Tender on Tindr)
[21:39] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Do I swipe left to heal him? Or is it swipe right?)
[21:39] <Ptolamir> (rotfl)
[21:42] <GWRD> (Or do you swipe up because you're really in to him?)
[21:43] <Lady_Dolphin> (The sexy boys call me Leslie Swipes)
[21:44] <GWRD> (So seriously now, how are you tending to him?)
[21:44] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Let me check your wounds, Tindai I want to make sure you're going to make it through the night. If not, I'm going to actually be offended.”
[21:46] <Tindai_Edo> “Very well”
[21:46] <GWRD> (Heal check)
[21:47] Dragoon_Kevoyan examines him to make sure nothing is badly infected, then casts cure light wounds again (last time until morning).
[21:47] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d20+7
[21:47] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d20(17)+7]: 24
[21:47] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep)
[21:48] <GWRD> His wounds, while look dirty from soil getting into them, look 'healthy' and not infected. You don't see any sign of an infection or disease taking hold.
[21:50] <GWRD> (Any other inspections before I fast-forward?)
[21:51] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (nope – going to cast cure light again
[21:52] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Stand and Deliver.”
[21:52] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d8+8
[21:52] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d8(6)+8]: 14
[21:52] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (whoops)
[21:52] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d8+1
[21:52] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d8(3)+1]: 4
[21:52] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (meh)
[21:52] <GWRD> (I'll take the 7 from your first roll)
[21:54] <Tindai_Edo> “Thanks,” he goes about maintaining his gear.
[21:55] Dragoon_Kevoyan settles against a wall, balancing my musket on my lap and appearing meditative.
[21:57] <GWRD> An hour passes, maybe less before you hear talking outside.
[21:57] Animal stops pacing.
[21:59] Dragoon_Kevoyan opens his eyes and raises up his musket as he makes sure everyone else is still in the room.
[21:59] <GWRD> Then somebody tries the door, and Diplomancy shakes a little.
[21:59] Tindai_Edo gets to his feet, drawing his blades
[21:59] <GWRD> POUND THUD POUND THUD
[22:00] <GWRD> It sounds as if two people are alternating smashing into the door.
[22:01] <Ptolamir> (so we’re awake now?)
[22:01] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I am not in the mood to share my drink.”
[22:01] Dragoon_Kevoyan takes a kneeling position and aims at the door.
[22:01] <GWRD> (Very likely you are awake)
[22:01] Ptolamir rouses and prepares himself.
[22:01] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “EVERYONE AWAKE AND TELL OUR GUESTS HELLO!”
[22:02] Dragoon_Kevoyan thumbs back the hammer of his musket.
[22:03] <GWRD> The door begins to splinter in the frame as it's about to give way.
[22:03] Tindai_Edo grins ready for some more play time
[22:03] Animal readies her weapon.
[22:05] <GWRD> The door gives way as an audible alarm goes off. On the other side of the door two of the temple guards stand ready to strike…
[22:05] <GWRD> `init rolls please
[22:05] <TolBot> Please make an initiative roll: 1d20+modifier. (You can make a roll 'for AnotherCharacter')
[22:05] <Tindai_Edo> 1d20+3

[22:09] <GWRD> Ptolamir Tindai Monks | Kevoyan readied)
[22:09] <Ptolamir> (I can see them through the door?)
[22:10] <GWRD> (Not well, but yes)
[22:10] <Ptolamir> (can I get the both with a cone?)
[22:10] <GWRD> (No, one has full cover)
[22:11] Ptolamir sends a fire jet out the door.
[22:12] <Ptolamir> 1d6+3 (Refl save half 17)
[22:12] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 1d6(6)+3 '(Refl save half 17)']: 9

[22:12] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d20(11)+6 'reflex']: 17
[22:13] <GWRD> The monk in the doorway sidesteps behind the wall as your jets of flame go roaring past. He emerges moments later unscathed.
[22:13] <GWRD> Tindai Monks)
[22:13] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (if this is housekeeping, I am going to be very embarrassed)
[22:13] Tindai_Edo moves and holds until one comes through
[22:14] <GWRD> (Kevoyan's held action)
[22:15] <GWRD> One moves into the room towards the wizard, provoking an attack from Tindai as the other closes the gap to attack Tindai.
[22:15] <Ptolamir> (3 HPs of fire damage is not “unscathed” >:( )
[22:15] <GWRD> (Evasion is unscathed)
[22:15] Dragoon_Kevoyan pulls the trigger of his musket
[22:15] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d20+11
[22:16] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d20(16)+11]: 27
[22:16] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Boom!)
[22:16] <GWRD> (Hit)
[22:16] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d12+5
[22:16] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d12(4)+5]: 9
[22:17] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Loading!”
[22:17] Dragoon_Kevoyan starts to reload his musket, his muscles move by memory alone.
[22:17] <GWRD> (Tindai's AoO and regular attack)
[22:18] <Tindai_Edo> 1d20+8
[22:18] <TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(1)+8]: 9 (Ouch!)
[22:18] <Tindai_Edo> (nat1 on AoO lol)
[22:18] <Tindai_Edo> (for my held action, would I only get 1 hit, or all 3?)
[22:18] <GWRD> (Just one, you moved)
[22:18] <Tindai_Edo> 1d20+8
[22:18] <TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(5)+8]: 13
[22:19] <GWRD> (Miss)
[22:20] <GWRD> 1d20+5 vs Ptolamir
[22:20] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d20(7)+5 'vs Ptolamir']: 12
[22:20] <GWRD> 1d20+5 vs Tindai
[22:20] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d20(18)+5 'vs Tindai']: 23
[22:20] <Tindai_Edo> (actually that should have been +10 instead of +8, but betting its still a miss lol)
[22:20] <Tindai_Edo> (AC is 21)
[22:20] <GWRD> 1d8+2 damage to Tindai
[22:20] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d8(2)+2 'damage to Tindai']: 4
[22:21] <Ptolamir> (AC is 16)
[22:21] <GWRD> As the first monk swings his fist at Ptolamir and misses, the second one takes advantages of your recovery from your second attack to strike under the arm, denting your armor in the process.
[22:21] <GWRD> (4 damage Tindai)
[22:22] <GWRD> Animal Ptolamir Kevoyan Tindai Monks)
[22:22] Animal will walk up to the closest one and whack at it twice with my great axe.
[22:22] <Animal> 1d20+10
[22:22] <Ptolamir> (this is two guards attacking us with their fists?)
[22:22] <TolBot> Animal's 1d20(18)+10]: 28
[22:22] <Animal> 1d20+5
[22:22] <TolBot> Animal's 1d20(8)+5]: 13

[22:23] <TolBot> Animal's 1d10(9)+3]: 12
[22:23] <Animal> (i loose one of my attacks if i have to move?)
[22:23] <GWRD> The blow is a solid blow, cutting deeply into the monk.
[22:24] <GWRD> (Actually your move was only 5', so that was my mistake, but normally any movement past 5' means you only get 1 attack)
[22:24] <Animal> (ooooooooooohk)
[22:24] <GWRD> (Your second swing missed however)
[22:24] <Animal> (yes, i know)
[22:25] <GWRD> Ptolamir Kevoyan Tindai Monks, Animal)
[22:25] <Ptolamir> (are we sure we’re wanting to kill these guys? as in, are they the ones who summoned the ghasts or whatever?)
[22:25] <GWRD> (As far as you know, you don't know who summoned the undead. You only know that these guys are with the temple and seem to want to kill you)
[22:26] <Tindai_Edo> (well… I'm guessing their allied as they came busting in. We could go non-lethal and ask.)
[22:26] Ptolamir lets loose burning hands.
[22:26] <GWRD> 2#1d20+6
[22:26] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d20(19)+6]: 25

[22:26] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Kill 'em all. the gods know their own.)
[22:27] <GWRD> Both manage to dodge out of the way of your magic, before any flames can lick their flesh.
[22:27] <Ptolamir> 5d4 (refl DC16 for half)
[22:27] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 5d4(17) '(refl DC16 for half)']: 17
[22:27] <GWRD> Kevoyan Tindai Monks, Animal Ptolamir)
[22:27] <Ptolamir> (Are you telling me they have an ability that makes it NO damage?)
[22:27] <GWRD> (Evasion)
[22:28] <Ptolamir> (Grrrr)
[22:28] <Ptolamir> (that’s it, I’m burning the whole building down)
[22:28] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Works for me)
[22:28] <GWRD> (Well you did set some of the door on fire)
[22:30] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (A small start – we don't want to give everything away)
[22:30] Dragoon_Kevoyan re-loads and fires again at the monk through the door.
[22:30] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d20+11

[22:33] <GWRD> Tindai swings once missing, but follows up that blow with two clean slices that drop the attacker.
[22:33] <GWRD> 2#1d20+4 vs Tindai
[22:33] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d20(19)+4 'vs Tindai']: 23
[22:33] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d20(18)+4 'vs Tindai']: 22
[22:34] Tindai_Edo growls “Who's next!”
[22:34] <GWRD> 2#1d8+2
[22:34] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d8(6)+2]: 8
[22:34] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d8(1)+2]: 3
[22:34] <GWRD> “ME”
[22:34] <GWRD> The second monk says as he steps into your side and slams his fist into your rib cage and brings his knee up into your shin.
[22:34] <GWRD> (11 damage)
[22:35] <GWRD> Animal Ptolamir Kevoyan,Tindai, Monks, )
[22:35] <Tindai_Edo> (Swift action: Challenge.)
[22:35] Animal whacks at the nearest one with her great axe two more times.
[22:35] <Animal> 1d20+10
[22:35] <TolBot> Animal's 1d20(16)+10]: 26
[22:35] <Animal> 1d20+5
[22:36] <TolBot> Animal's 1d20(19)+5]: 24
[22:36] <Lady_Dolphin> (*claps excitedly, mashing popcorn into her dumb face*
[22:36] <GWRD> (Double hit)
[22:36] <Animal> 1d10+3
[22:36] <TolBot> Animal's 1d10(7)+3]: 10
[22:36] <Animal> 1d10+3
[22:36] <TolBot> Animal's 1d10(5)+3]: 8
[22:37] <GWRD> The man takes two hard hits, and staggers back slightly as the blows leave him frazzled.
[22:37] <GWRD> Ptolamir Kevoyan Tindai)
[22:37] <Tindai_Edo> (Gives me +2 to attack rolls, +2 Dodge AC, for the target subject to my challenge, then I get -2 to AC vs attacks made against me from any other attacker)
[22:37] Ptolamir points the rod, firing a Scorching Ray.
[22:38] <Ptolamir> (need to lookup my hit)
[22:38] <Ptolamir> 1d20+5
[22:38] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 1d20(18)+5]: 23
[22:38] <GWRD> (Hit)
[22:39] <Ptolamir> 4d6 (no save… take that !)
[22:39] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 4d6(10) ' (no save… take that !)']: 10
[22:40] <GWRD> Ptolamir changes his tactics and moves to a more direct method of immolation verses the indirect method, with far more satisfying results as the man burns to death in the door way. He crumples to the ground lifeless seconds later.
[22:40] Dragoon_Kevoyan reloads and aims for the monk attacking Tindai.
[22:40] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d20+11
[22:40] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d20(9)+11]: 20
[22:40] Ptolamir betrays a satisfied look in his eye.
[22:41] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (if i get a modified 20, is that still a crit?)
[22:41] <Tindai_Edo> (I think they're dead… lol)
[22:41] <GWRD> (The DM scratches his head, assuming Kevoyan means Animal and allows the attack. No only a naturally rolled 20 is a possible critical)
[22:41] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d12+5
[22:41] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d12(5)+5]: 10
[22:42] <Animal> (am i actually taking that damage?)
[22:43] <GWRD> Kevoyan obviously confused continues to fire into the location where the fighting took place, barely MISSING Animal in the process.
[22:43] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (I thought there was one more monk left – osrry!)
[22:43] <GWRD> (No)
[22:43] Dragoon_Kevoyan flinches up at the last second.
[22:43] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Sorry! Are you hurt?!”
[22:43] <GWRD> (Though I am going to charge him ammo for the mistake)
[22:44] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Fair enough)
[22:44] Animal looks to Kevoyan “You don't have a dagger in your head, so i'm assuming you missed me.”
[22:44] Tindai_Edo looks at Ptolamir then the others, “Should we make sure they're dead and stay dead, by removing their heads?”
[22:45] Ptolamir shrugs.
[22:45] <Ptolamir> “Can’t hurt.”
[22:45] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Yes. I missed you. And yes – take their heads.”
[22:45] Tindai_Edo removes the monks heads
[22:45] Dragoon_Kevoyan shoulders his musket and takes out his dagger.
[22:45] Animal actually pouts at tindai when he beats her to it.
[22:45] <Ptolamir> (what knowledge check would make me have an informed opinion about such matters?)
[22:46] <GWRD> (Which matters?)
[22:46] <Animal> (i've seen all but the last episode of supernatural would that help? lmao)
[22:46] <Ptolamir> ( “Should we make sure they're dead and stay dead, by removing their heads?” )
[22:47] <Ptolamir> 1d20+9 arc/nature/planes/religion
[22:47] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 1d20(20)+9 'arc/nature/planes/religion']: 29 (Wow)
[22:47] <Animal> (brb)
[22:47] <Ptolamir> (lol… +9 was my lowest of those)
[22:49] <GWRD> Your knowledge of how life and death works suggests removing the head of a living or even dead person will result in death or the continuance of that death. In the case of the undead, it might not end undeath, but these two appear to be recently alive.
[22:51] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (until they came into the wrong room)
[22:51] <Animal> (back)
[22:51] Tindai_Edo searches the monks' bodies
[22:52] Dragoon_Kevoyan resets the door, using Diplomacy to keep out the unwanted.
[22:53] <GWRD> The monks wear simple robes, stained with fruit juices and food stains. One of them does have a piece of cloth with a skull-decorated fly sewn into it.
[22:53] <GWRD> The door has been broken out of its frame and then set on fire. It does not look resettable. There is also the matter of an alarm still going off.
[22:53] Tindai_Edo hands the piece of cloth over to Ptolamir “Do you recognize this?”
[22:54] Ptolamir looks at the cloth.
[22:54] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Can you silence the alarm?”
[22:54] <Ptolamir> (knowledge check?)
[22:54] <Lady_Dolphin> http://imgur.com/gallery/c4jt321
[22:54] <GWRD> (Knowledge: Religion)
[22:55] <Ptolamir> 1d20+9 Religion
[22:55] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 1d20(16)+9 'Religion']: 25
[22:55] Ptolamir uses the key word to silence the alarm, “NonKaboodle”
[22:57] <GWRD> Staring at the piece of cloth it does strike a familar part of your studies.
[22:57] Ptolamir looks at the symbol… “This is the godess Urgathoa, god of the undead.“
[22:57] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Never heard of her.”
[22:57] <Tindai_Edo> “Me either, but guess that means we're in the right place.”
[23:00] <Ptolamir> “It is a Varisian goddess.”
[23:00] <GWRD> As a revelation is made to the true identify of the monks of the temple, this session comes to a close… until next time.
[23:00] <GWRD> The End
