[20:14] <@ GWRD> RECAP: Plunged into a land of unfamiliar origins, far removed from their own, a group of strangers now seek for a way home. Given 3 paths to choose from, they decided to first explore a walled temple surrounding a grove. There they did not meet with a warm reception…
[20:14] <@ GWRD> (No)
[20:15] <@ GWRD> …Attacking plant life, the wails of crying children, and hoards of maggoty like grubs all met them near the gates, as our third session comes to a start.
[20:15] <@ GWRD> Game On
[20:16] <Garun_Degiron> (we were about to let Ptol tank this for us right?)
[20:16] <@ GWRD> “Psst, over here.” The child who peered out of one of the guest houses, whispers as you avoid the swarm of white grubs.
[20:16] <+Lux> ( Yes I recall that )
[20:16] <@ GWRD> (I vaguely recall that too…)
[20:16] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Yep says right here in my notes.)
[20:16] <@Tindai_Edo> (log is up now btw lol)
[20:17] <+Lux> ( well if the DM recalls it it must be so. You got this Ptom )
[20:17] <Garun_Degiron> (let your inner pyro be your outter pyro for a bit)
[20:17] <@Ptomalir> :)
[20:18] <@Ptomalir> ( Mage tank … I can do it really well. forrrrrrrr 2 rounds maybe, then dead)
[20:18] <@ GWRD> The grubs fill the streets wiggling out of the stables like small rippling waves of death.
[20:18] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Then try to kill them all in one round.)
[20:19] * Dragoon_Kevoyan looks in the direction of the whisper.
[20:19] <@Tindai_Edo> (well jus' keep in mind that each grub is maybe 1xp… and theres lots, so lots of XP :P )
[20:19] <@Ptomalir> ( So, I couldn’t get the blaze off before they spread out? )
[20:20] <@ GWRD> The door to the house is open a crack, and you see the shadowy outline of a child or small teen in the doorway.
[20:20] <@Ptomalir> “Do we go over there?”
[20:20] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “THIS WAY! THIS WAY!”
[20:20] * @Ptomalir looks at the child.
[20:20] <Garun_Degiron> (are those the traditional slow grubs or the new age fast grubs?)
[20:21] * @Tindai_Edo goes over to the door and waits for the others
[20:21] <@Ptomalir> (new age flesh-eating, fast)
[20:21] <@Ptomalir> (i’m guessing)
[20:21] <Garun_Degiron> “Do your thing mage or lets get out of here!”
[20:22] * +Animal backed up slowly, “I have firewood in the cart, if it helps”
[20:22] <@Ptomalir> (technically, I already said i used burning hands )
[20:22] * +Lux grumbles “retreat then. Go Go GO!” he calls out to everyone and moves back towards the whispered voice and Tindai
[20:22] <@ GWRD> (Well then roll for damage, and we'll move to initiative.)
[20:22] <@ GWRD> (And I need to set myself up for Roll D20 one of these days as a DM)
[20:23] <+Lux> ( you should yes )
[20:23] * Dragoon_Kevoyan brings up his musket and waits for the last one to fall back before moving.
[20:23] * Garun_Degiron takes a step back but stays within reach of the Mage
[20:24] * +Animal moved towards the voice and the others around it.
[20:24] <@Ptomalir> (sorry, parent phone call)
[20:25] <@ GWRD> (We can take back the burning hands if you need to deal with that)

[20:29] <+Animal> (quick question, cause i forgot to make a note of it, is going into a rage a bonus action?)
[20:29] <@ GWRD> The flames jet over the grub swarm, filling the air with sounds of popping bug carcasses and a stench of charred insects and decay.
[20:30] <@ GWRD> (No, going into Rage is a free action)
[20:30] <+Animal> (aaah ok)
[20:30] <@ GWRD> (Lux, Tindai, Animal you're up)
[20:31] <+Lux> ( its one solid swarm? )
[20:32] <@ GWRD> (It's a large swarm that takes up 10 square feet.)
[20:32] <@Tindai_Edo> (I'm jus' going to hold my action by the door, until I have no choice but to enter or be overwhelmed, since I have no AoE abilities)
[20:32] * +Animal would like to rage)
[20:32] <@ GWRD> (Ok)
[20:33] <@ GWRD> (and OK)
[20:33] <@ GWRD> (Lux, Animal, Kevoyan)
[20:33] * +Lux moves to the side, of the swarm so Ptom would still have a clear shot for another of those Burning hands and swings with a Power attack.
[20:33] <+Lux> 1d20+10 Power Attacking
[20:33] <TolBot> Lux's 1d20(2)+10 'Power Attacking']: 12
[20:34] * +Animal is going to leap off of her camel and run into the swarm and bites and claws at the swarm.
[20:34] <Garun_Degiron> (bite???)
[20:34] <+Lux> ( yes, Animal has claw and bite attacks lol )
[20:35] <Garun_Degiron> (but you'll get a mouthfull of grubs!)
[20:35] <+Animal> (i can make a total of 4 attacks while raging, you really gonna quesitn it?)
[20:35] <+Lux> ( Protin! )
[20:35] <+Animal> (what's the mod for the bite and claw to hits? is it the same as other weapons?)
[20:35] <@ GWRD> The swarm wriggles out of the way of the sword blow, mostly out of instinct than anything else as the blow barely does anything effective to the swarm, as Animal goes all feral and leaps into the swarm and starts trying to rip into the swarm of vermin.
[20:36] <@ GWRD> (Yes it is.)
[20:36] <+Lux> ( should be on your sheet )
[20:36] <+Animal> 1d20+8 bite

[20:37] <+Animal> 1d20+7 gauntlet attack
[20:37] <TolBot> Animal's 1d20(6)+7 'gauntlet attack']: 13
[20:38] <@ GWRD> (You can't claw and use a gauntlet in the same attack)
[20:38] <+Animal> (well ok, good to know. guessing the gauntlet missed anyway)
[20:39] <@ GWRD> Animal swings and swings at the swarm missing several blows, but landing a good hit with one of her claws, sending a small pile of the grubs flying. A few die, but not enough to make any sort of impact.
[20:39] <@ GWRD> (Kevoyan, Ptolamir, Garun)
[20:39] * Dragoon_Kevoyan waits for the others to get clear (holding my action)
[20:40] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “FALL BACK! FALL BACK!”
[20:40] * @Ptomalir does as is called for, and makes for the cracked door where the child called them forth.
[20:41] <@ GWRD> (Garun, THE SWARM)
[20:41] * Garun_Degiron backs away from the swarm
[20:41] <Garun_Degiron> (towards the door)
[20:41] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (are we clear)
[20:42] <@ GWRD> (Nope, Animal is in the swarm)

[20:44] <TolBot> Animal's 1d20(9)+3 'relfex']: 12
[20:45] <@ GWRD> The swarm of grubs starts crawling all over Animal, biting her with hundreds of little mouths. To your horror, several of them start boring into Animal's body, making horrific chewing noises.
[20:45] <@ GWRD> 1d4 Constitution damage
[20:45] <TolBot> GWRD's 1d4(2) 'Constitution damage']: 2

[20:46] <@ GWRD> (Round 2: Lux, Tindai, Animal)
[20:46] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Verminphobia, anyone?)
[20:46] * +Lux moves around to sheath his sword, grab Animal and hall her out of there then retreat away from the swarm.
[20:46] <Garun_Degiron> “Get ot of there!”
[20:47] <+Lux> ( *haul )
[20:47] <@ GWRD> (So, Lux is going to move into the swarm to get Animal?)
[20:48] <+Lux> ( yup if thats what it'll take )

[20:49] <TolBot> GWRD's 1d4(4) 'constitution damage']: 4
[20:50] <@ GWRD> Lux runs into the swarm and is quickly overwelmed by the grubs as they crawl over his body like a wave of white death, boring into his body.
[20:52] <Garun_Degiron> (just AOE, forget friendly fire)
[20:52] <+Lux> ( sure I could reroll a character…. )
[20:52] <@ GWRD> (Tindai, Animal)
[20:52] * @Tindai_Edo goes inside the door and looks around, not dumb enough to jump into the fray
[20:53] * @Ptomalir steps forward preparing to cast, seeing the dire situation.
[20:53] <+Lux> ( i blame animal for taking the good rolls early )
[20:53] <@Ptomalir> (held init?)
[20:53] <@ GWRD> On the other side of the door, you see a small pack of children huddled into the corner. The child at the door has a variety of rags and towels in his hand.
[20:53] * +Animal screams “Animal!” at lux as he drags her from the swarm, and looks to her horses and Wassima to see if they are safe or not.
[20:54] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Prophets in the houses!”
[20:54] <+Lux> ( I didnt drag you )
[20:54] <@ GWRD> (Actually Lux didn't get you out)
[20:54] <+Animal> (wait ok, i thought he managed to grab me)
[20:54] <@ GWRD> Animal's horses appear to be panicing and trying to back away from the carnage.
[20:55] <@ GWRD> (He got into the swarm and they distracted him)
[20:55] * +Animal screams “animal” at lux as he tried to grab her but moved out towards her horses.
[20:56] <@ GWRD> (Kevoyan, Ptolamir, Garun)
[20:58] * @Ptomalir grips his rod and casts a Fireball which races towards the swarm and his two companions.

[20:58] * Ptomalir is now known as Ptolamir
[20:59] <@Tindai_Edo> (lol. . .)
[20:59] <+Lux> ( I needed that )
[20:59] * Dragoon_Kevoyan gets ready to pull his friends out once the fireball has cleared. he sets his musket down and takes off his ammo box
[20:59] <Garun_Degiron> (for the longest time something was bugging me but i couldnt figure out what it was)
[20:59] <@Tindai_Edo> (I should rush forward with my bag of holding open and jus' fill it with grubs… XD)
[20:59] <@Ptolamir> 5d6 20ft burst Refl for half
[20:59] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 5d6(16) '20ft burst Refl for half']: 16
[21:01] <@Ptolamir> The flames wash over Lux and Animal but do not effect them.
[21:01] <@ GWRD> The air fills with the rush of heat as a ball of fire erupts in the street, sending charred grub bodies flying every which way. Lux instictively ducking to avoid the impact finds that none of the flame touches him.
[21:01] <+Lux> ( he reconized the magic words for Fireball lol )
[21:02] <@ GWRD> As the flames clear, you see white grubs bore through the outer crusty layer of charred grubs to continue their onslaught.
[21:03] <@ GWRD> (Kevoyan, Garun)
[21:03] <Garun_Degiron> (anyone has any oil or oil lamps?)
[21:03] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (is there anything crawling arounf the two?0
[21:04] <+Animal> (are the bugs on animal and lux dead?)
[21:04] <+Animal> (animal has 2 hooded, 2 bullseye, and 5 waterproof lamps and lots of firewood)
[21:04] <@ GWRD> (Yes the swarm is still there on and around Lux, and no the bugs on the two PCs are not dead)
[21:04] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (crap)
[21:04] <@ GWRD> (Let's keep the meta-gaming out of this combat please)
[21:05] * Dragoon_Kevoyan whips off his coat and looks for some near by flame and wood
[21:05] <+Animal> (animal mentioned the firewood for the record)
[21:05] <@ GWRD> (True)
[21:05] <@ GWRD> There are a few embers here and there from the carnage, but no immediate source of wood.
[21:06] <@ GWRD> (Garun, THE SWARM)
[21:07] * Garun_Degiron steps a bit closer to the swarm at attacks it with the flat of his axe

[21:11] <@ GWRD> (To Garun)
[21:12] <+Lux> ( scratch that )
[21:13] <@ GWRD> (If you are at exactly 0, you are staggered, and not unconcious. Staggered means you get either a standard or move action on your turn)
[21:13] <@Ptolamir> “Get OUT of there!“
[21:13] <+Lux> ( Orc Ferocity, Im actually disabled :) )
[21:13] <@ GWRD> (You don't even need orc ferocity until you go under 0)
[21:14] <+Lux> ( oh yes )
[21:14] <@ GWRD> (Round 3: Lux, Tindai, Animal)
[21:14] * +Lux makes a full retreat action
[21:14] <+Animal> (hang on a second)
[21:14] <+Lux> ( is going to Tindai and saftey )
[21:15] * @Tindai_Edo steps out of the door and pulls out his rope, hangs onto one end and throws the other to animal, and will proceed to pull them out should they grab it.
[21:15] <@ GWRD> Lux staggers out of the swarm. The child when he sees Lux coming for the door tries to shut it.
[21:15] <@ GWRD> “Burn him!”
[21:15] <@ GWRD> (Animal is not in the swarm, and Lux just left it.)

[21:16] * @Tindai_Edo eyes the kids, but doesn't say anything as he reaches for one of his blades.
[21:16] <@Ptolamir> (but the FORT has killed you. hehe)
[21:17] <@ GWRD> Lux looks pale and nauseated as he makes for the door, the grubs on his body continue to chew at his flesh.
[21:18] <@ GWRD> (Tindai, Animal, Kevoyan)
[21:18] * @Tindai_Edo looks around the room for anything he can use to help with grub removal
[21:18] <+Animal> (assuming that animal hasn't lost 34 hp to her max points…)
[21:19] * +Animal will make to claw attacks at the grubs on lux.
[21:19] <@ GWRD> The room is sparce, and looks like it has been taken over by homeless children.

[21:20] * @Ptolamir stands aghast that one of his new companions is remaining in the swarm fighting it out.
[21:20] <@ GWRD> Animal ignores the grubs on her own body to attack the ones on Lux. She manages to scrape off the surface grubs, but still can see a few crawling under his skin, as one fall out of her hair and lands on her nose.
[21:20] <@ GWRD> (Kevoyan, Ptolamir, Garun)
[21:22] * Dragoon_Kevoyan runs back to the house with the kids and the others.
[21:22] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Lantern oil! Rags!”
[21:23] <@ GWRD> The child at the door is holding rags and towels, but you don't see any sign of oil.
[21:23] <@Ptolamir> (can I get another cast off and still get into the door wihtout risk of them reaching me? what’s the distance here?)
[21:23] * Dragoon_Kevoyan takes the rags and looks for something to use as a torch.
[21:23] <@ GWRD> (You can Ptol)
[21:24] <@ GWRD> The kid holds on fast to the rags.
[21:24] <@ GWRD> “NO you can't take these!”
[21:24] * @Ptolamir sends another Fireball at the group of worms, magically protecting Lux and Animal in the midst of the flames.
[21:25] <@ GWRD> (Garun is in the swarm, the other two are safely out of it)

[21:26] <@ GWRD> “No, the grubs will get in!”
[21:26] * Garun_Degiron gets out of the swarm and runs towards the house trying to shake the grubs off of him
[21:27] <@ GWRD> The kid slams the door shut as he sees more grub infested people trying to get in.
[21:27] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Boy! I'm trying to save my friends – give me rags!”
[21:30] <@ GWRD> Another fireball decimates the swarm as the child fights with Kevoyan. The remaining grubs, only a small amount emerge from the ashes of their counterparts.
[21:30] <@ GWRD> “No, you need to burn them out stupid.”
[21:30] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “What do you think the rags are for? Let go!”
[21:31] <@ GWRD> The remaining grubs wriggle towards the door, threatening to envelop Animal, Lux, and Garun.

[21:32] <@ GWRD> Lux blacks out and falls to the ground, as a few grubs fall from his body.
[21:32] <@ GWRD> (Actually scratch that, he has orcish ferocity)
[21:33] * @Tindai_Edo digs into his bag of holding for the blanket he has in there and throws it at Dragoon (guess that would be my held action)
[21:33] * +Lux growls and seems to go feral in the eyes as he continues forward
[21:33] <+Lux> ( one lasrt con save? )
[21:35] <@ GWRD> (Lux, Animal, Kevoyan)
[21:35] <@ GWRD> (No con saves unless the swarm catches up to you)
[21:36] * +Lux will try scratch out the grubs under his skin
[21:37] * +Animal uses her two claw attacks to get the grubs under lux's skin as well
[21:37] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (brb)
[21:37] <@ GWRD> You both scratch and claw at the grubs in desperation as you see the life draining from Lux's body rapidly in front of you.
[21:38] <@ GWRD> (Kevoyan, Ptolamir, Garun)
[21:38] <Garun_Degiron> (vampire grubs)
[21:39] * Dragoon_Kevoyan takes th blanket and wraps it around his arm.
[21:39] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (can I see any fires outside?)
[21:40] <@ GWRD> (A few tiny ones, nothing major, but probably enough to light the blanket on fire in a few rounds.)
[21:40] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Let's see who has a few rounds.)
[21:40] <@Ptolamir> (not many are left?)
[21:41] * Dragoon_Kevoyan looks over to Tindai. “Close the door behind me.”
[21:41] * Dragoon_Kevoyan rushes out the door for the nearest open flame
[21:41] * @Tindai_Edo closes the door behind Dragoon
[21:42] * @Ptolamir casts a burning hands and then moves further away.
[21:42] <@ GWRD> (Correct, not many are left)

[21:42] <TolBot> GWRD's 1d20(17)+5 'reflex']: 22
[21:43] <@ GWRD> Ptolamir fans his fingers together and jets of fire wash over the grubs, burning the last of them with sick little popping sounds until they all remain dead… except for the ones infesting your allies.
[21:44] <@ GWRD> (Garun, Grub damage)
[21:44] * Garun_Degiron continues to try and shake off the grubs that are all over him
[21:45] <@ GWRD> You shake off the few on your body, but it is not enough to get the ones that have already burrowed below the surface of your skin.

[21:45] <+Lux> ( perfect amount! )
[21:46] <@ GWRD> Animal, it feels like the last of the grubs infesting your body have stopped moving…
[21:47] * +Lux 's eyes seem to go lifeless the growl fading from his throat as with one last movement his unsheathes his bastard sword and plunges it into the ground looking right at Tindai “Take,……care…….of…..Diplomacy.” and with that last ounce of strength the halforc man falls to the ground and rolls over, lifeless and dead.
[21:47] <+Animal> (i'm so not sure what's going on i dont even know if she's still alive.)
[21:48] <@ GWRD> (Next round: Swarm is dead, but can anybody save the rest of your companions?
[21:49] * @Ptolamir points at the unconcious Lux, “Can any of you wake this guy up?”
[21:49] * @Ptolamir sounds exasperated.
[21:49] * @Tindai_Edo runs out the door to Lux and gives him a hearty thump on the chest (trying to revive him, Heal check?)
[21:49] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (running down there now)
[21:50] <+Lux> ( he has no breath, no heart beat. you need a raise dead spell )
[21:50] <+Lux> ( Con and health are at 0 )
[21:50] <@Tindai_Edo> (Psh, thats never stopped us IRL :P)
[21:50] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Does he feel happy? Happy?)
[21:50] <@ GWRD> (Animal has taken 10 constitution damage (which knocks 25 hps off your max life)
[21:51] <@ GWRD> Tindai, you thump on Lux's chest, but there is no spirit left in his body to revive.
[21:51] <@Tindai_Edo> “You son of an Orc, get your lazy ass off of the ground!” *growls*
[21:52] <@ GWRD> (Note: Garun is still infested with grubs and will take constitution damage again in a moment)
[21:52] * @Tindai_Edo goes over to Garun, still growling to see what he can do
[21:52] <@ GWRD> 1d4 Constituion damage to Garun
[21:52] <TolBot> GWRD's 1d4(3) 'Constituion damage to Garun']: 3

[21:52] <@ GWRD> (Con or hps?)
[21:53] <Garun_Degiron> (constitution)
[21:53] <Garun_Degiron> (at least i think so)
[21:53] <@ GWRD> Garun's palor rapidly blanches, as you see the life start to leave his eyes.
[21:54] <+Animal> (I'm really sorry everyone.)
[21:54] <@Tindai_Edo> (its alright… maybe one fo them will come back as a cleric lol)
[21:54] <+Lux> ( I seriously thought someone was going to be a cleric here )
[21:55] <@Tindai_Edo> (quick! Posess one of the children)
[21:55] <+Animal> ( i didn't undersatnd how bad the threat was until it was too late)
[21:55] <+Animal> (someone kill her and tak her shit, it won't take much)
[21:55] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (I am a cleric, which is why I'm running down to get whoever is left)
[21:56] <+Lux> ( you're a cleric…… )
[21:56] <@ GWRD> (that's not what we do here. We learn and grow from the challenges we face.)
[21:56] <@ GWRD> (Well then do something about Garun, before he goes to meet Carmilla in the afterlife)
[21:57] * @Tindai_Edo 'rage-loots' Lux as requested, carefully placing Diplomacy and its Scabbard into his bag of holding
[21:57] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Where's Garun?)
[21:57] <Garun_Degiron> (in front of the door trying to shake off the grubs and failing)
[21:58] * Dragoon_Kevoyan skids to a stop and runs back up to Garun.
[21:58] <@ GWRD> Garun barely clings to life by the door, the color in his face gone, as his flesh pulsates with grubs moving around his body.
[21:58] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Stay still!”
[21:58] * Dragoon_Kevoyan reaches out and touches his ankle. “Stand and deliver!”
[21:58] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Casting cure light wounds)
[21:59] <@ GWRD> (Roll your 1d8+level)
[21:59] <@ GWRD> (Cleric level, not full level)

[22:00] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 1d20(19)+12 'nature']: 31
[22:02] * +Animal looked at Lux's dead body sadly. “animal” she whimpered before moving to get back onto Wassima where she would take herself, Wassima and her waggon and make her way back out of the place, not even looking at the others.
[22:02] <@ GWRD> Ptolamir, you quickly examine the remaining grubs. They are known as rot grubs and can infest the bodies of those they attack. Only causing energy damage (fire, cold, negative, etc) or removing disease will kill them from a host, or hoping that the patient can survive until the grubs suffocate.
[22:03] * @Tindai_Edo carefully and respectfully removes any other useful gear from Lux's corpse
[22:03] * Dragoon_Kevoyan looks to Animal.
[22:04] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Alive, Dead or Mereky Inconvienced?)
[22:04] <@ GWRD> (Animal is alive and leaving)
[22:04] <@ GWRD> (Actions before I do more con damage to Garun?)
[22:04] <@Tindai_Edo> “You know, Animal, leaving won't resolve anything, you could atleast hang around and pay your respects.”
[22:05] <Garun_Degiron> (i cant cut them our or something?)
[22:05] * @Ptolamir steps over the body
[22:05] <@ GWRD> (No, I listed the ways that people in the group can save you… particularly the fire wizard)
[22:06] <Garun_Degiron> “Burn them out”
[22:07] <@Ptolamir> “Step back. You have to burn Rot Worms out.”
[22:07] * @Ptolamir casts fire jest.
[22:07] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Heat some metal.”
[22:07] <@Ptolamir> 1d6+2
[22:07] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 1d6(4)+2]: 6
[22:07] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (fire jest?)
[22:07] <@Ptolamir> (jet)
[22:07] <@ GWRD> (6 damage Garun, unless you try to avoid the fire jet)
[22:08] <Garun_Degiron> (i just clsoe my eyes, i have known fire before)
[22:09] <@ GWRD> The fire jet hurts as it chars and burns at your skin… a familiar feeling, but this time with a strange relief to it as the grubs infesting your body stop moving.
[22:09] * @Ptolamir looks at Garun and then over at the animal, shakes his head and walks away.
[22:10] * @Tindai_Edo grabs two bandages and tosses them over to Dragoon, “Use these!” (Bandages of Rapid Recovery)
[22:10] <@ GWRD> (um… no)
[22:11] * Dragoon_Kevoyan touches Garun again on his shoulder. “Stand and Deliver.”
[22:11] <@ GWRD> (You have to identify those before you know what they are)
[22:11] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (cure light wounds)
[22:11] <@ GWRD> (roll it)
[22:11] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d8+5
[22:11] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d8(2)+5]: 7
[22:11] <@Tindai_Edo> (well, they're bandages… know they're bandages… jus' don't know the effects :P )
[22:11] <@ GWRD> (fair)
[22:12] * Dragoon_Kevoyan catches the bandages.
[22:12] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Here, let's get you wrapped up and inside.”
[22:12] <@ GWRD> “After a moment of time passes, the kid opens the door a crack and peers out.
[22:12] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (roll heal proficiency?)
[22:12] <@ GWRD> (if you would like to treat deadly wounds, sure)
[22:12] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Sure – first I cast detect insurance)
[22:13] <@ GWRD> (Are you his PCP?)
[22:13] <@Ptolamir> (lol)
[22:14] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (No – everything I have is pharmacy grade)
[22:14] <Garun_Degiron> ( so i am sitting at 0Con and low hp now)
[22:14] <@ GWRD> Kid: “You killed them?”
[22:14] * Dragoon_Kevoyan tends to Garun as best he can.
[22:14] <@ GWRD> (Yeah your life is going to suck for a while)
[22:14] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d20+6
[22:14] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d20(4)+6]: 10
[22:14] <@ GWRD> (Because technically you should be dead as well)
[22:14] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (but not for long, if that helps you feel better)
[22:15] <@ GWRD> Kevoyan tries to treat your wounds, but finds the damage far too extensive.
[22:15] <Garun_Degiron> (this is a church of sorts, can we try to find a cleric or soomething for Lux or is he gone)
[22:16] * Dragoon_Kevoyan shakes his head and stands up.
[22:16] <@ GWRD> (You can try to find a cleric to raise him)
[22:16] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Let me get something for you to drink.”
[22:16] * Garun_Degiron looks at the kid “Any grown ups around here?”
[22:19] <@ GWRD> “Sure, but they probably are in the temple.
[22:19] <@Tindai_Edo> “What kind of Temple is this?”
[22:19] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Is there any water here?”
[22:19] <@ GWRD> The kid cocks his head, as if he doesn't understand the question.
[22:20] <@ GWRD> “There's a well out back.”
[22:20] <@Tindai_Edo> “Which Diety does this temple worship”
[22:20] <@ GWRD> “Don't go alone though.”
[22:20] <@ GWRD> “I don't know, some creepy looking one.”
[22:21] * @Ptolamir moves over to the kid. “They’re all dead.”
[22:21] <@ GWRD> The kid skitters back away from Ptolamir.
[22:22] <@Ptolamir> (sorry, what was for above, referring ot the worms)
[22:22] <@ GWRD> (Ah)
[22:23] * Dragoon_Kevoyan gets his musket and ammo box.
[22:23] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Someone guide me to the well.”
[22:23] <@ GWRD> “Why are you all here, and do you have food?”
[22:23] <@ GWRD> The rest of the children's eyes light up at the mention of food.
[22:27] * Dragoon_Kevoyan shoudler his ammo box.
[22:28] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Show me the well, and I'll give you some food.”
[22:28] <@ GWRD> “No”
[22:28] * Garun_Degiron leans on his axe and tries to ignore the pain
[22:29] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Boy…mind your elders. Take me to the well.”
[22:30] <@ GWRD> “Piss off old man.”
[22:30] <+Animal> (must be a teenager lol)
[22:30] * @Ptolamir moves to lean agains the house and sit down to rest.
[22:31] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (How old is this boy? For the tombstone and all)
[22:31] <@ GWRD> (About 12-14)
[22:32] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Good – he can take it)
[22:32] <@ GWRD> (He appears to be the oldest of the children here)
[22:32] * @Tindai_Edo glares at the mouthy child, a hand resting on the Tsuka of his Wakizashi
[22:32] * Dragoon_Kevoyan sets his musket aside.
[22:33] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I'll ask you nicely one last time: where is the well?”
[22:33] <@Tindai_Edo> (Tsuka is also known as the Hilt, or Handle btw)
[22:33] <@ GWRD> Clean out your ears old man, it's out back. While your back there, I hope you get eaten.”
[22:34] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “By what?”
[22:34] <Garun_Degiron> “Are those grubs stil moving?”
[22:35] <Garun_Degiron> (maybe he will not be so brave if he thinks he still needs us to fight the grubs)
[22:35] * @Tindai_Edo grumbles something about wanting to smack the smartass with the backside of his blade, and moves to look out back
[22:35] * @Ptolamir ’s eyes shut.
[22:38] <@ GWRD> He looks around nervously.
[22:38] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (how far away is he?)
[22:38] <@ GWRD> “The cannibal children.”
[22:38] <@ GWRD> (Probably in your face or close to it)
[22:38] * Dragoon_Kevoyan grabs the punk by the hair
[22:39] <Garun_Degiron> (how far is the churc from where we are right now and did we see any sign of any other viagers here?)
[22:41] <@ GWRD> (The church is not too far ahead from where you fought the grubs. You've seen no other sign of villagers, though you did hear the sounds of children crying when you were at the gates.)
[22:41] <@ GWRD> “Hey knock it off you fat old bastard!”
[22:42] <@ GWRD> The other children also start yelling, and start to get up from the corner they were huddling in.
[22:42] * @Tindai_Edo draws both his blades and looks at them, a wicked grin on his face.
[22:42] <Garun_Degiron> “So you want no food, that is fine.”
[22:44] <@ GWRD> They rush Kevoyan and all 6 of them leap on him, or grab his legs.

[22:45] <Garun_Degiron> “Hey knock that off!”
[22:45] * @Tindai_Edo smacks any that pass him with the flat of his blades
[22:46] <@ GWRD> The try to topple Kevoyan kicking and screaming for him to knock it off.
[22:46] <@ GWRD> (Think Arnold in Kindergarten Cop)
[22:46] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Strength check to shake these little bastards off me?)
[22:46] <+Lux> ( except its a grub not a tumor )
[22:47] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (…and to answers the next question: No, I am not a parent.)
[22:47] * Lux is now known as Crichton

[22:47] <TolBot> GWRD's 1d20(3)+2]: 5
[22:47] <@ GWRD> Kevoyan shakes the little children loose, as the leader child tries to get free.
[22:49] * Dragoon_Kevoyan shakes the leader painfully by the hair to get his attention.
[22:49] <@Tindai_Edo> “Kevoyan, drop the little bugger… Not worth the effort,” he returns his blades to their sayas.
[22:49] <@ GWRD> “Ow ow ow ow ow!”
[22:49] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “What's it going to be, boy? You help or I throw you outside?”
[22:49] <@ GWRD> “I hope you die!”
[22:50] <@ GWRD> He spits in your face.
[22:50] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “You first.”
[22:50] * Dragoon_Kevoyan drags him to the door.

[22:50] <TolBot> GWRD's 1d20(4)+2]: 6
[22:50] <@ GWRD> He struggles to get free as the other 6 children rush over to jump Kevoyan again

[22:51] * @Tindai_Edo steps in front of the kids
[22:51] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “No – I'm going to find the well to get water and feed this to what ever is there.”
[22:51] <@ GWRD> But manage to just cling and bounce off of him.
[22:52] * @Tindai_Edo sets a hand on Kevoyan's shoulder, “Let him go, the little ones need a big brother. We can find the well without them.”
[22:52] * Dragoon_Kevoyan opens the door.
[22:52] * Dragoon_Kevoyan looks outside
[22:52] * Dragoon_Kevoyan looks to Tindai…
[22:53] <@ GWRD> Out the back door you see a communal well.
[22:54] * Dragoon_Kevoyan shoves the kid back into the pack of children.
[22:54] * Dragoon_Kevoyan points to Tindai “Say 'thank you' to him. He saved your life.”
[22:54] * Dragoon_Kevoyan grabs his musket.
[22:56] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Let's go get some water.”
[22:56] <Garun_Degiron> (kids said something about the grownups being in the church or did i misunderstand that?)
[22:56] <@ GWRD> The child glares with a burning malace reserved for only the truly damned.
[22:57] <@ GWRD> (You caught that right)
[22:57] <@Tindai_Edo> “The way to the gate is clear, I'd recommend you leave this place as fast as you can and not to look back, and if you try to attack any of us,” he glares with an evil grin, “I will kill you,” he turns and walks out the door, both blades once again drawn.
[22:59] * Dragoon_Kevoyan locks his bayonet
[22:59] * @Ptolamir sighs, opens his eyes and stands.
[22:59] <Garun_Degiron> ?me looks at the others “ We should look in the church for someone who knows what is going on”
[22:59] * @Ptolamir looks at Tindai.
[23:00] * @Tindai_Edo heads towards the well, staying alert
[23:00] <@Ptolamir> “I have fire left in me, an if you strike the child, you will burn where you stand.“
[23:00] * @Ptolamir pivots his head, watching Tindai walk by.
[23:01] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (How far away is the well? Striaght line? Cover?)
[23:02] <@Tindai_Edo> (alright, its 2300, I need to get to bed soon)
[23:02] <@ GWRD> The communial well lies in a small opening circled by several houses. The houses provide narrow passages back to the main street or to other parts of the temple ground. As the last of you exit the house of children, you hear the door shut behind you with a latching sound quickly following…
[23:02] <@ GWRD> As this session comes to a close.
[23:03] * @Ptolamir watches Tindai disappear around the corner of the house, unresponsive.
