[20:18] <GWRD> From the tower, our band of would be heroes decided to make their way back towards the temple to deal with the priests and monks there, instead of the tower and its guardians. They stopped at the campsite of the greasy haired old elf for a respite and information.
[20:18] <GWRD> As the sun rises on the start of a new day, our journey begins anew.
[20:20] * Tindai_Edo wakes and stretches as he checks his gear and mount
[20:21] * Dragoon_Kevoyan sits upright, wiping away the sleep from his eyes and looks to his horse.
[20:22] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Ready for another good day, old man?”
[20:23] * Animal gets her gear and horses ready before mounting her camel.
[20:23] <GWRD> He old elf looks up at the sky, before realizing you were referring to the horse.
[20:24] * Dragoon_Kevoyan gets his horse saddled, and double checks his ammo box, taking a second to whisper a prayer over it.
[20:25] * Tindai_Edo saddles and mounts up
[20:25] <GWRD> Old elf: “Good luck, you'll need it.”
[20:26] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Luck seems to be in short supply here.”
[20:27] <GWRD> Old elf: “You learn quickly.”
[20:27] <Tindai_Edo> “I had Lady Luck once… albeit it ended badly, have not had any since.”
[20:27] <GWRD> He responds as you begin to move out.
[20:28] * Dragoon_Kevoyan snorts. “There are some publicans who would argue with you on that.”
[20:30] <GWRD> The path down from the mountain plateau 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 an increasingly pine fresh scent to it.
[20:30] <Ptolamir> (sorry, phone call with parents)
[20:31] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (ransom demands?)
[20:31] <GWRD> (Microsoft tech support?)
[20:31] <Tindai_Edo> (Parents, the true final boss.)
[20:31] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Now, it's smelling like home.”
[20:31] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Tech cupport, ransom demands…same thing really.)
[20:32] <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.
[20:33] <Tindai_Edo> “If we run across those undead. . . things. . . I suggest we kill them instead of hiding this time.”
[20:33] * Dragoon_Kevoyan watches the high limbs.
[20:34] <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
[20:35] * Tindai_Edo keeps his eyes alert for any more of those vines that attacked them last time
[20:36] <GWRD> The gate does not appear to have any new vines growing on it, though has been closed since your last visit.
[20:37] * Ptolamir approaches the gate, a worried look on his face.
[20:38] * Dragoon_Kevoyan gets his musket ready.
[20:38] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Steady on, old man…it may get thrilling.”
[20:39] <GWRD> A large iron gate, flanked on either side by 30’ high thick stone walls stands vigil here. The bars appear to be closed, as if to ward out intruders and large killer cats.
[20:41] * Tindai_Edo checks the gate
[20:42] * Dragoon_Kevoyan listens for sounds of attack, or the wailing of the damned…whichever is first.
[20:42] <GWRD> The gate does not appear locked, and there is no apparent sounds of attack or the damned.
[20:43] * Crichton is now known as Aldric
[20:43] * Dragoon_Kevoyan looks to Ptolamir “Should we announce ourselves?”
[20:43] * Aldric examins the gate as well, just looking to see where the lock is located as well as the hinges
[20:43] <Tindai_Edo> “No… Best to stay low this time around. Gather information without being seen”
[20:43] <Ptolamir> “I thinks some should stay quiet even, unless apologetic“
[20:44] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I regret nothing.”
[20:44] <GWRD> The hinges are on the sides, while there appears to be no lock.
[20:44] <Ptolamir> “I don’t care if you regret your choice of footwear”
[20:45] <Ptolamir> “but if it’s expedient to apologize, then you’re a fool for not doing so“
[20:45] <Aldric> “Myrrdin can be pretty sneaky,….he also hates being volunteered…“
[20:45] * Tindai_Edo just looks at Ptolamir having no desire to appologize to the priests unless its with the edge of a blade
[20:47] <Ptolamir> (not sure how to RP interact with that emote)
[20:47] * Ptolamir glances at Tindai “You fools turned on our hosts, for no reason. And now I’m afraid you’ve burned the bridge here.”
[20:48] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Weren't the children cannibals?”
[20:49] <Ptolamir> (weren’t those children in the homes, not the temple?)
[20:49] <Ptolamir> “So the temple priests have told us”
[20:49] <GWRD> (There was a group of children in a house, that did not appear to be cannibals, and 2 creepy ones running around that supposedly were.)
[20:50] <Tindai_Edo> “You're welcome to go to them Ptolamir I have no desire to see them again.”
[20:50] <Aldric> “And the priest wanted me do to a sucide mission right from my entrence into this mess and acted like I had no choice…“
[20:50] <Ptolamir> “I’m confused. Then why are we here?”
[20:50] <Animal> “To kill them.”
[20:50] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Should we question them first?”
[20:51] <Animal> “were they forthcoming before?”
[20:51] <Aldric> “Yes a birdge might have been burnt but something is foul there. I'd like to know whats going on before we actually commit to an action
[20:51] <Ptolamir> (pause… our group decided to return to the temple to slay everyone here? I missed that)
[20:51] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (I thought we were going in and questioning them about getting out of here?)
[20:52] <Animal> (well aside from the fact that i thought we were going to observe them then kill them, it's animal…she hasn't killed anything for ages)
[20:54] <Ptolamir> “You were the unreasonable one, and if you’re plan is to bring them harm on the outset, I will ahve no part of it.”
[20:54] * Ptolamir shakes his head, and turns away from the gate.
[20:55] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “No one here is going to harm the priests. We need information and they might have it. Try to summon them…please.”
[20:56] * Ptolamir looks at Dragoon then at Animal “But this fool just said he plans to kill them.”
[20:57] <Ptolamir> “Animal, am I to take you not at your word, then?”
[20:57] <Animal> “It's she you bloody idiot, and i'm a barbarian it's what I enjoy. That aside, they are all insanely fat while children starve, and you think they are worth saving? You are a fool.”
[20:58] <Ptolamir> (ok, don’t put into RP what is obviously an ooc oversight)
[20:58] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “He's not going to kill them without cause…because I'm sure even he recognizes the need to find a way out of this place more important than spilling blood.”
[20:58] <Tindai_Edo> “It comes down to this. We cannot make contact with the Druid. We do not know who is in the wrong here, we need to observe BOTH parties. For all we know these priests could be summoning the undead.”
[20:59] * Aldric gave a slow now, listening as he reached a hand up and scratched Myrrdin behind the ear as he looked over Aldric's shoulder
[21:00] <Animal> “Then I will find a spot near by to set up camp.” She turns her horses and camel towards the clearing they found the last time they were here.
[21:01] <Ptolamir> (so the scene before was that the house of starving children were being neglected by residents of the temple?)
[21:02] <Tindai_Edo> (Indeed)
[21:02] <Ptolamir> (and what would BOTH parties mean? the priests vs whom?)
[21:02] <Tindai_Edo> (The Druid)
[21:03] <Ptolamir> (ah, ok)
[21:03] <Ptolamir> (would’ve been nice if we hadn’t drawn first blood there)
[21:03] * Ptolamir turns around and opens the gate.
[21:04] <GWRD> The gate opens with a rusty creaking sound.
[21:04] <Tindai_Edo> (True enough, but alas, I see a big tiger charging at my horse, I'm going to attack lol)
[21:04] * Ptolamir walks through, looking around.
[21:04] <Ptolamir> (I don’t remember a charging tiger at that point, just noisy birds)
[21:04] * Dragoon_Kevoyan readjusts his sights.
[21:04] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (close enough)
[21:04] <Ptolamir> (LoL)
[21:04] <Tindai_Edo> (before the noisey birds, we followed said tiger to the birds)
[21:05] <GWRD> Just past the gates, a variety of buildings spread out around the courtyard. 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.
[21:05] * Dragoon_Kevoyan gently gently clicks his tongue and moves the horse through by guiding it with his thighs.
[21:05] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Come one, old man – can't let our friend feel lonely, can we?”
[21:06] <Tindai_Edo> “We should check on the children…“
[21:08] * Ptolamir looks at Tindai and nods.
[21:10] * Ptolamir heads to the familiar house.
[21:10] * Tindai_Edo follows behind
[21:11] * Aldric follows along as well, using the butt end of the long spear as a walking stick as he went
[21:11] <Animal> (how far away was that clearing we found last time when we followed the tiger?)
[21:11] * Dragoon_Kevoyan rides in, musket at the ready
[21:11] <GWRD> (The kids' house, the house you rested in, or the temple?)
[21:11] <GWRD> (About 2 hours)
[21:11] <Ptolamir> (kids)
[21:11] <GWRD> The building the kids were staying in is opposite the stables, though you get the unnerving feeling you are being watched.
[21:12] * Aldric starts to look around for the watchers he feels
[21:12] <Aldric> 1d20+18 perception
[21:12] <TolBot> Aldric's 1d20(18)+18 'perception ']: 36
[21:13] * Tindai_Edo looks around as well
[21:13] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (…who wants to dare the dice, next?)
[21:13] <Tindai_Edo> 1d20+2
[21:13] <TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(12)+2]: 14
[21:13] <Ptolamir> 1d20+2
[21:13] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 1d20(4)+2]: 6
[21:13] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d20+9 (are we being watched?)
[21:13] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d20(9)+9 '(are we being watched?)']: 18
[21:14] <GWRD> Alric, you spot plainly a small child watching you from an alley way next to the stables, while Kevoyan can just barely make her out.
[21:14] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “We're being watched.”
[21:14] * Aldric mutters to the group “Child, in the alley way by the stables”
[21:14] * Ptolamir follows Dragoon’s gaze.
[21:14] * Dragoon_Kevoyan tilts his head in the direction of the child
[21:15] <GWRD> The child ducks away deeper into the alley and out of sight as Kevoyan gives her hiding position away.
[21:15] * Ptolamir motions for the child to approach.
[21:15] <Ptolamir> (do we recognize it from where we spent the night?)
[21:15] * Tindai_Edo looks around for signs of Lux's remains
[21:16] <GWRD> The remains are gone (I thought you took them with you?).
[21:16] <Tindai_Edo> (gear yes, remains not that I recall)
[21:17] <GWRD> (Well then they are gone.)
[21:18] * Ptolamir continues on to the house with the children they knew.
[21:19] * Tindai_Edo continues quietly as well
[21:19] * Dragoon_Kevoyan dismounts and follows. “Stay with Animal old man.”
[21:19] <GWRD> The house of the children stands before you, the door closed.
[21:19] * Aldric follows quietly as well
[21:19] * Ptolamir calls out, “Little ones, are you home?”
[21:20] <GWRD> “GO AWAY!!!”
[21:20] * Tindai_Edo lets out a sigh of relief
[21:20] <Ptolamir> “Is everything ok since we last stayed with you?”
[21:20] <Tindai_Edo> “Glad you all are well.”
[21:21] * Ptolamir shrugs.
[21:21] <Ptolamir> “On to the temple then?”
[21:22] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Sounds good to me.”
[21:22] * Ptolamir turns and continues on.
[21:22] * Tindai_Edo pulls out half of his rations and sets them in front of the door, “This is not much, but alteast its something little ones. We take our leave now, but should you wish to leave, I'm certain you can find us.” (leaving 5 rations)
[21:22] * Animal makes sure that old man is taken care of as she hunts for a clearing to set up camp.
[21:23] * Ptolamir looks around, “Did the wagon lady depart?”
[21:24] <GWRD> (If you are looking for a place to camp in the late morning, this temple ground has a stable.)
[21:24] <Tindai_Edo> (full of creepy crawly maggots)
[21:24] <GWRD> (You killed those…mostly)
[21:24] <Animal> (outside the temple grounds thanks :P)
[21:25] <GWRD> Off in the distance, you hear a church bell ringing at the temple.
[21:25] <Aldric> “hrmm, thats not good. Should we hide?”
[21:25] * Tindai_Edo shrugs
[21:26] * Dragoon_Kevoyan looks around.
[21:26] * Tindai_Edo moves so he can see the gate of the temple and tries to remain mostly unseen himself
[21:26] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (anyone coming?)
[21:26] <GWRD> The gate to the temple, down the road way is closed shut, and free of friend or foe.
[21:28] <Aldric> ( what are the roofs like here? )
[21:28] <Animal> 1d20+8 perception
[21:29] <TolBot> Animal's 1d20(6)+8 'perception']: 14
[21:29] * Tindai_Edo looks around for a building that would provide a decent view over the temples walls.
[21:29] * Dragoon_Kevoyan looks for a place to taek cover
[21:29] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (brb)
[21:30] <Ptolamir> (take cover from what?)
[21:31] <GWRD> (Slightly slanted roofs, with thick slate shingles.)
[21:31] <Aldric> ( could one hide on them or too slanted? )
[21:32] <GWRD> You recall when you were at the base of the mountain having a decent view, otherwise you would have to climb to the roof of one of the 2-story buildings to have half a chance of seeing over the wall.
[21:32] * Ptolamir proceeds forward.
[21:33] * Tindai_Edo looks for a building that would be suitable for climbing
[21:33] <GWRD> 1d20+8 CMB vs. Animal's CMD.
[21:33] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d20(15)+8 'CMB vs. Animal's CMD.']: 23
[21:34] * Aldric walks over to Tindai “Same idea as me? Let me help then…..”
[21:34] * Dragoon_Kevoyan looks for something more ground bound.
[21:35] <Tindai_Edo> 1d20+6 climb
[21:35] <TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(1)+6 'climb ']: 7 (Oh, no)
[21:35] <Tindai_Edo> (ROFLMAO!! :D)
[21:36] <GWRD> Tindai struggles to even get a leg's length off the ground, before tumbling back down.
[21:36] * Tindai_Edo chuckles to himself as he tumbles down
[21:37] * Aldric grabs Tindai under the arms and takes flight with him to the top of the roof. (can lift 359lbs off the ground.)
[21:37] <Aldric> ( *350lbs )
[21:37] <Tindai_Edo> (with gear, I'm sitting at 260ish I think)
[21:37] * Dragoon_Kevoyan looks behind him and shakes his head as he takes cover.
[21:37] <GWRD> Ptolamir you make your way closer to the temple, and hear the sounds of somebody shouting orders on the other side of the gate.
[21:38] * Ptolamir keeps going til reaching the closed temple gate.
[21:38] * Ptolamir looks amazed at Aldric’s flying.
[21:39] <GWRD> From above the rooftop, you see the monks scrambling to secure the temple. (Perception check fliers)
[21:39] <Tindai_Edo> 1d20+2 perception
[21:39] <TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(1)+2 'perception']: 3 (Yikes!)
[21:39] <Animal> 1d20+6
[21:39] <TolBot> Animal's 1d20(10)+6]: 16
[21:39] <Tindai_Edo> (wow, 2 nat1s…)
[21:40] * Ptolamir (Tol@sorcery-2unmot.dyn.grandenetworks.net) has left #grovewood
[21:40] * TolBot waves goodbye to Ptolamir
[21:40] * Ptolamir (Tol@sorcery-2unmot.dyn.grandenetworks.net) has joined #grovewood
[21:40] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Ptolamir
[21:40] * TolBot cowers before Ptolamir
[21:41] <Aldric> 1d20+18 perception
[21:41] <TolBot> Aldric's 1d20(17)+18 'perception']: 35
[21:41] <Aldric> ( so, what are the color of their eyes? lol )
[21:43] <GWRD> Aldric you spot quite a few “monks” you didn't see during your last visit, very dirty as if freshly dug up from the distrubed graves in the temple courtyard, and Animal being “hugged” by an elven looking woman on her wagon, just outside of the main gates of this complex.
[21:44] <Animal> 1d3+2
[21:44] <TolBot> Animal's 1d3(2)+2]: 4
[21:44] * Aldric didnt bother landing on the roof, and actually was far from it now as he drifted backwards to the to Animal “Dirty Monks!, like they wer ejust dug up,..and Animal needs us!” with that he flew with Tindai to Animal's location
[21:45] * Dragoon_Kevoyan sighs and sees where they're going. “Gods…
[21:45] <GWRD> 1d20+13 CMB vs. Animal's CMD.
[21:45] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d20(18)+13 'CMB vs. Animal's CMD.']: 31
[21:45] * Dragoon_Kevoyan tries to climb up
[21:45] <Tindai_Edo> “If you say so!”
[21:45] <GWRD> 1d6+1 claw damage & -1 con
[21:45] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d6(5)+1 'claw damage & -1 con']: 6
[21:45] * Ptolamir tilts his head, trying to comprehend, then sprints back out the gate up the road.
[21:46] <Animal> 1d20+5
[21:46] <TolBot> Animal's 1d20(14)+5]: 19
[21:47] <GWRD> (I don't have a map of this particular section on Roll20 yet, however Ptolamir at a full run will take 2 rds to reach Animal the others will take 2 rounds at full speed, while the fliers will take 1 round)
[21:47] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Can I see the fliers from the ground?)
[21:48] <GWRD> (Yes)
[21:48] <Animal> 1d20+7 to break grapple
[21:48] <TolBot> Animal's 1d20(17)+7 'to break grapple']: 24
[21:49] <GWRD> Animal breaks free from the woman's grasp, giving herself an opportunity to strike back at her attacker.
[21:49] * Dragoon_Kevoyan aims up at one of the fliers and fires.
[21:49] <Aldric> ( ACK21 )
[21:50] <Tindai_Edo> (urm, Dragoon me and Aldric are the fliers lol)
[21:50] * Animal will grab her great axe and swing.
[21:50] <GWRD> (The fliers are your allies)
[21:50] <Aldric> ( no healing for you! )
[21:50] <Animal> 1d20+10

[21:50] <TolBot> Animal's 1d10(7)+3]: 10
[21:51] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (dang…i thought the fliers were attacking the others.)
[21:51] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (well, I'll shoot the others.)
[21:51] <GWRD> You score a clean hit, as you cleave into the woman's chest. Fresh blood drips from her mouth from when she bit you, and her nose seems displaced.
[21:52] <GWRD> (init order will be Ptolamir Tindai Aldric “Elf Woman”, Animal Kevoyan)
[21:52] <GWRD> (So Tindai Aldric “Elf Woman” and Animal act this round, while the rest may move)
[21:52] <Ptolamir> (the scene we see when we arrive is ??? )
[21:53] * Tindai_Edo looks up at Aldric “Drop me near the woman attacking Animal he grins and draws his blades
[21:53] <Aldric> “Thats the plan. Then I'll go back up so others can see where we are.”
[21:54] <GWRD> Battling upon the seating area of Animal's wagon, Animal is presently fighting a elven looking woman with clawed hands, skeletally thin body from lack of food, and blood stained mouth from a fresh wound she inflicted on Animal.
[21:55] <GWRD> Tindai you are dropped on the ground behind the “elf woman” who is facing Animal (flanking, standard action only)
[21:56] * Tindai_Edo attacks the attacker with both his blades
[21:56] <GWRD> (Standard action only)

[21:56] <Tindai_Edo> (rolling hits first lol)
[21:56] <GWRD> (You get 1 hit, you only got a standard action, because you had to be dropped off first)
[21:58] <Tindai_Edo> 1d8+6
[21:58] <TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d8(4)+6]: 10
[21:58] <GWRD> You score a clean slice into the back side of her torso, a hit that would kill a lesser foe with ease.
[21:59] <GWRD> Animal Aldric Tindai you feel an intense wave of unnatural hunger wash over you all…
[21:59] <GWRD> (DC 15 Will save)
[22:00] <Aldric> 1d20+11 Will
[22:00] <TolBot> Aldric's 1d20(5)+11 'Will']: 16

[22:00] <TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(16)+2 'taking highest']: 18
[22:00] <Tindai_Edo> (ROFL)
[22:00] <Tindai_Edo> (what is with me and rolling the same thing twice in a row lately)
[22:01] <GWRD> “Elf Woman”“You look far tastier than this small morsel.
[22:01] <GWRD> She turns to attack Tindai.
[22:01] <GWRD> 2#1d20+6
[22:01] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d20(3)+6]: 9
[22:01] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d20(12)+6]: 18
[22:01] <Tindai_Edo> (AC21)
[22:02] <GWRD> Her nails scrape across your armor like nails to a chalk board as one set of claws leaves a long gash in the metal of your armor.
[22:02] <GWRD> (Animal)
[22:02] * Animal yells out “Do not let her bite you!” As she swings her great axe at the woman again.
[22:02] <Animal> 1d20+10
[22:02] <TolBot> Animal's 1d20(10)+10]: 20
[22:02] <GWRD> (hit)
[22:03] <Animal> 1d10+3
[22:03] <TolBot> Animal's 1d10(4)+3]: 7
[22:03] <Animal> (also, am i supposed to be doing 2 attacks now?)
[22:03] <GWRD> (Probably)
[22:03] <Animal> (ok)
[22:04] <Animal> (so do i roll another attack?)
[22:04] <GWRD> Your blow strikes true, and she looks quite disoriented and barely functioning.
[22:04] <Aldric> ( yes )
[22:04] <GWRD> (Yes, though your 2nd attack is 5 less than your first attack)
[22:04] <GWRD> (To hit that is)
[22:04] <Animal> 1d20+5
[22:04] <TolBot> Animal's 1d20(17)+5]: 22
[22:05] <GWRD> (Hit)
[22:05] <Animal> 1d10+3
[22:05] <TolBot> Animal's 1d10(6)+3]: 9
[22:05] <GWRD> Animal takes advantage of her distraction caused by Tindai to strike her twice in the back. The unnatural hunger immediately ends as the rest of the group joins you.
[22:07] <GWRD> Her body collapses to the ground.
[22:07] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Aww…I was going to shoot her and stab the bullet wound)
[22:09] * Dragoon_Kevoyan watches the others, making sure there is nothing for him to shoot at.
[22:10] * Aldric drifts to the ground and reached out to touch Animal to heal some of that Con damage
[22:10] * Animal cleans her axe off and puts it away before sitting down.
[22:10] <GWRD> You see no other signs of threats, though the church bell tolls a few more times before stopping.
[22:10] <GWRD> (What con damage?)
[22:10] * Ptolamir lowers his hand, that had begun to glow red.
[22:10] <GWRD> (The DM doesn't recall telling you she suffered any Con damage after making a successful Heal check or something)
[22:11] <Aldric> ( yes, my bad )
[22:11] <Ptolamir> ( LoL )
[22:11] <GWRD> (Hp damage however is obvious)
[22:11] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (brb)
[22:11] * Aldric drifts to the ground and reached out to to examin Animal he didnt like the look of that boney starving wench
[22:11] <Ptolamir> (Hmm, she looks less constitutionalized than just a bit ago)
[22:11] * Tindai_Edo inspects the now dead elven woman
[22:11] <Ptolamir> (any knowledge roll to id that thing?)
[22:11] <Animal> “I thought you lot were going to go look around.”
[22:11] <Aldric> 1d20+8 Heal check
[22:11] <TolBot> Aldric's 1d20(8)+8 'Heal check']: 16
[22:12] <GWRD> (Dungeoneering and/or Religion)
[22:12] <Ptolamir> 1d20+9 Religion check
[22:12] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 1d20(20)+9 'Religion check']: 29 (Yeah, baby)
[22:12] <Ptolamir> (so happy i wasted my nat 20 on a knowledge check)
[22:12] <GWRD> Animal's bite wound looks like it has caused a fair amount of blood loss, though not a lot of physical damage.
[22:13] <GWRD> DC Result
[22:13] <GWRD> 13 This creature is an ecstasy feeders, a monster thought to have once been succubi that were transformed by the Far Realm into their current abominable form.
[22:13] * Ptolamir looks over the body.
[22:13] <GWRD> DC Result
[22:13] <GWRD> 13 This creature is an ecstasy feeders, a monster thought to have once been succubi that were transformed by the Far Realm into their current abominable form.
[22:13] <GWRD> (oops)
[22:13] * Ptolamir says some things about the creatuer. ^^^
[22:14] <Ptolamir> “Nasty thing.”
[22:14] <GWRD> (You also realise that being from succubi, they probably have a way of feeding off of a person, but not life energy the way a succubus would)
[22:15] <Ptolamir> (Do I know if they are minions of something typically, or just a solo kind of mob?)
[22:15] <Aldric> ( does that translate into me knowing its con damage? )
[22:15] <GWRD> (You know them to be solitary usually, and Aberrations.)
[22:15] <GWRD> (Sure)
[22:15] * Animal takes a few minutes to get her breath back. “if you see one, don't let it bite you.”
[22:16] * Aldric casts lesser restoration on Animal
[22:16] <Aldric> 1d4 Con Healed on Animal
[22:16] <TolBot> Aldric's 1d4(4) 'Con Healed on Animal']: 4
[22:16] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I intend on shooting its jaw off.”
[22:17] <Animal> (so 4 back on my con? )
[22:17] <GWRD> You also find a small number of items on the corpse, aside from Animal's blood.
[22:17] <GWRD> (Looks that way)
[22:18] * Dragoon_Kevoyan 's head is on a swivel, looking for another attack.
[22:19] <Animal> “At any rate, what all did you guys find out?”
[22:19] * Tindai_Edo shrugs
[22:19] <Aldric> “Undead Monks, fresh ones too.”
[22:19] <Tindai_Edo> “I was too busy watching the ground suddently vanish from beneath my feet to see much”
[22:19] <GWRD> On the body are 3 different gems, masterwork leather armor, a scroll, and a wand with an inscription “Enchanter of Blades”)
[22:19] <Aldric> “You liked flying and you know it.”
[22:20] * Tindai_Edo lays the found items out for the others to look over
[22:20] <Animal> “That's why the were digging before then?”
[22:20] <Tindai_Edo> “most likely”
[22:20] <Animal> (*they)
[22:22] * Ptolamir prepares to detect magic.
[22:23] <GWRD> (Wand and Scroll are magical)
[22:23] <Tindai_Edo> “I would suggest you take Ptolamir to see this with his own eyes though Aldric so we can set aside any differences of the likes and do the deed that must be done if it is truely the case.”
[22:24] <Tindai_Edo> (outside of the messed up nose and bloody mouth, does the woman look familiar at all?)
[22:24] <GWRD> (The gems are obsidian (13gp), Rhodochrosite (10gp), Rose Quartz (40gp)
[22:24] <GWRD> The woman does not look familiar to you.
[22:25] * Ptolamir casts, concentrating (for 3 rounds)
[22:25] * Tindai_Edo removes her head from her body, “Better safe than sorry.”
[22:25] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Works for me.”
[22:25] * Dragoon_Kevoyan whistles.
[22:26] * Dragoon_Kevoyan whistles for his horse.
[22:26] * Aldric uses a Channel Energy to help heal up the wounds for Animal and to top of anyone else that needs healing
[22:26] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Come on, old man. We need to set something on fire that deserves it for a change.”
[22:26] <Aldric> 3d6 HP for Anyone within 30ft
[22:26] <TolBot> Aldric's 3d6(13) 'HP for Anyone within 30ft']: 13
[22:26] * Tindai_Edo does the same, calling for Rhykir, simply to know that he's safe.
[22:27] * Ptolamir finishes casting and identifying
[22:27] * Dragoon_Kevoyan takes out a tinder box and lights the robes on fire.
[22:27] * Animal smiled briefly to Aldric “Thank you.”
[22:28] * Aldric just nods to Animal “So,..anyone that wants to see what I did over the wall let me know when your ready.”
[22:28] <GWRD> (What robes are you setting on fire?)
[22:28] * Tindai_Edo picks up the gems and hands them over to Animal
[22:28] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (the succubus thingy)
[22:29] * Animal hides the gems on her cart.
[22:29] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (unless she's nude, then I want to call my good friend Cadomedd over…)
[22:29] <GWRD> Kevoyan in a fit of pyromancy sets the masterwork leather armor of Ecstasy Feeder on fire.
[22:29] <Tindai_Edo> (rofl, she's missing her head now though, but he'd probably still have fun)
[22:29] <Ptolamir> 1d20+16
[22:29] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 1d20(3)+16]: 19
[22:29] <Ptolamir> 1d20+16
[22:29] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 1d20(12)+16]: 28
[22:30] <Animal> (did Animal just become the group's treasurer?)
[22:30] <Tindai_Edo> (I don't need it, and nobody else was picking it up…)
[22:30] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (there's a comic about that…but I am not going to find it)
[22:31] <Ptolamir> “The scroll contains a Hold Person spell. The wand is of Magic WEapon. Full of charges.”
[22:33] * Aldric gave a small nod “I can use ether or those.”
[22:33] * Tindai_Edo looks around
[22:33] <GWRD> (Actually Magic Weapon is not on the Witch spell list typically)
[22:34] <Tindai_Edo> “Shall we go pay the temple a visit, or would some others like to take a peek over the wall?”
[22:34] <Aldric> ( its is on the Shaman spell list though. )
[22:34] <GWRD> (Forgot that's what you were… my bad)
[22:34] <Aldric> ( np, we both use Hexes so its easy to confuse:) )
[22:34] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Peek, then sneak.”
[22:35] * Ptolamir nods at Aldric to take either or both.
[22:35] <Animal> “What is the best way to kill the undead?”
[22:35] * Ptolamir turns to listen more closelty to Tindai “Zombie monks?”
[22:35] * Tindai_Edo motions to Ptolamir “Fire, I assume.”
[22:35] <Ptolamir> (you said “more” zombie monks. the monks we talked to before weren’t undead, right?)
[22:36] <Tindai_Edo> “So it seems, they most likely are the source of the undead, but I would prefer you take a flight with Aldric and confirm this with your own eyes before we take anymore… rash, actions.”
[22:36] * Ptolamir grins.
[22:36] <GWRD> (You don't recall seeing any dead looking monks.)
[22:36] <Aldric> “I believe when I channel that healing energy it can damage them”
[22:36] <Ptolamir> “Do we suspect the priests in the temple are raising undead?”
[22:37] <Animal> “Lets go back inside the gate then you can do as Tindai suggested and take a fly over with Aldric.”
[22:37] <Ptolamir> “Lead on.”
[22:38] * Ptolamir turns to walk back towards the gate.
[22:38] <Aldric> “I saw a few monks, They were very dirty like they were just disturbed from their graves in the temple court yard.”
[22:38] * Dragoon_Kevoyan makes sure the body is merrily burning, and follows along.
[22:38] * Aldric nods and follows along on foot
[22:38] * Tindai_Edo leads Rhykir by his reigns (Assuming he came when summoned)
[22:38] <GWRD> As the party leaves the burning body merrily burning behind them, they once more make for the temple…
[22:38] <GWRD> As this session comes to a close.
