[20:06] <GWRD> Our story takes us back to the temple in the woods, where our group of misfit heroes have returned with a bone to pick with the monks and clerics of the temple.
[20:07] <GWRD> While enroute, Animal was attacked outside the protective walls of the temple and fed upon by a woman who looked elven with long skinny claws and figure.
[20:07] * Harlequin_J_Goat is now known as Dragoon_Kevoyan
[20:08] <GWRD> The group also observed figures moving among the courtyard covered in dirt and soil.
[20:10] <GWRD> As they regroup at the outer gates of the city, we resume their tale.
[20:13] <GWRD> The air is cool to the skin, with a faint blood tang to the air. The sting of injuries still are fresh in several individuals minds, as you decide on your next course of action.
[20:14] Dragoon_Kevoyan looks around to make sure that they are not being followed or attacked.
[20:15] <GWRD> The area appears to be clear at the moment, with no other sign of creature or beast to be seen.
[20:18] <Tindai_Edo> (sorry still trying to get to a save option… )
[20:18] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “So…now what?”
[20:18] <Animal> “well, that was fun. What did you guys see on the otherside of the fence?”
[20:21] <Ptolamir> “Back to the gate?”
[20:21] <Ptolamir> “Or do we need to rest more, given that there are undead near?”
[20:25] <GWRD> A single squirrel flits from branch to branch, as a quiet overtakes the forest.
[20:26] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (*cheers for squirrel*)
[20:26] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (The squirrel is evil!)
[20:27] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “We should rest. It's not as if they're going to need to fall back for supplies or anything.”
[20:30] <Tindai_Edo> “I would not be opposed to rest on behalf of our friend, but now may not be the time, we need more information, quickly, before they can raise more undead if that is what they are pursueing”
[20:32] <Animal> “I believe it's what they have been doing since before we got there the first time.”
[20:34] Dragoon_Kevoyan takes a knee.
[20:36] <GWRD> The dirt is gritty beneath your knee, but soft.
[20:37] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “So - do we keep the spellcasters from resting?”
[20:37] <Tindai_Edo> “So, do we walk softly to the monks now, or do we pose greater offense and kick down their gate?”
[20:37] <Tindai_Edo> “or we rest…“
[20:37] <GWRD> The day is still young, not even mid-sun, as you discuss your plans for attack or recovery.
[20:40] Tindai_Edo looks to the others for some sort of direction
[20:40] Dragoon_Kevoyan looks at the walls, then stands up.
[20:41] <Animal> “IF we wait, we give them time to raise more dead.”
[20:41] <Animal> (*If)
[20:42] <GWRD> (Vote on it?)
[20:43] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I wonder if there is another way in?”
[20:44] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “A service gate, or an escape way?”
[20:44] <Ptolamir> “Good question”
[20:44] <Tindai_Edo> “I'm fine with having our companion here drop me in from above, and slaughtering all in my path… but I doubt thats the appropriate route.”
[20:48] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Umm…no…not a very good plan. We need to see if there is a second way in, then we can drop him in the middle and flush them to it, slaughter them on two ends if that's what we want.”
[20:48] Dragoon_Kevoyan looks at the group. “Is that what we want?”
[20:51] <Tindai_Edo> “Well, I think I'll leave the planning here to Ptolamir as I tend to be offensive and rash in my decision making,” he feeds Rhykir as he waits for a decision to be made.
[20:52] Dragoon_Kevoyan looks to Ptolamir and puts his hand on his heart in salute.
[20:52] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Your orders?”
[20:54] Ptolamir chuckles.
[20:54] <Ptolamir> “Can you fly around for more inteligence gathering?”
[20:57] <Tindai_Edo> (Crichton isn't here.. lol)
[20:57] <GWRD> (I think he is still able to, at least for another 5? minutes)
[20:58] Dragoon_Kevoyan looks to see if there are any climbable trees near the wall.
[20:58] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (All this talk of dirt and trees is giving me the vapors)
[20:59] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Worst. Druid. Ever.)
[20:59] <Ptolamir> ( hehe )
[20:59] <GWRD> The area around the temple has a few areas where the vines have sprawled up some of the walls nearby, but no immediate trees.
[20:59] <Animal> (the what now?)
[20:59] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (It sounds like y'all have encountered far worse recently)
[21:00] Dragoon_Kevoyan looks to see where the sun is in relation to the vines.
[21:00] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (are these friendly vines, or I'll-swallow-your-soul vines)
[21:01] <GWRD> The sun you think is roughly a little east and high in the sky right now. There are vines on either side of the wall by the gate.
[21:01] <GWRD> (Hard to tell without examining them closer)
[21:03] <GWRD> (What would the group like to do?)
[21:04] Dragoon_Kevoyan unsheathes his silver knife and approaches the vines carefully.
[21:04] Tindai_Edo checks the vines to see if they would be a viable method of scaling the wall
[21:05] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I might be able to get some intelligence if these vines don't think I'm a snack.”
[21:06] <GWRD> The vines by the outside wall look like they could be viable in assisting in climbing the walls. These particular ones, don't look similar to the vines that tried to eat you. It's unclear if other patches of vines exist in different parts of the outer walls nearer to the inner temple area.
[21:06] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (Remember, safety first. If a companion starts to be strangled by sentient vines, don't attempt to make physical contact. Go find an adult immediately.)
[21:06] <Tindai_Edo> (actually, these walls.. are they of the village walls, or the temple proper?)
[21:07] <GWRD> (This section would be what you are referring to as the village. You are a distance from the temple proper.)
[21:10] Dragoon_Kevoyan tries to climb up to peer over the wall.
[21:10] <GWRD> (Climb check)
[21:11] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d20+1 (to break my legs from the inevitable fall)
[21:11] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d20(6)+1 '(to break my legs from the inevitable fall)']: 7
[21:11] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Yep)
[21:12] <Tindai_Edo> “No point climing, we can walk through the gate,” and he does just that to go look for a way to get into the temple proper
[21:12] <GWRD> Kevoyan struggles to find proper foothold to climb up the walls next to the open gate.
[21:12] Ptolamir watches the climb.
[21:12] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (Maybe the vines will catch your throat!)
[21:12] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (but there are no adults…)
[21:12] Dragoon_Kevoyan slips and hits the ground, then sees the open gate.
[21:12] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “OK – fine, we can do that.”
[21:13] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (I guess you'll be dancing with the stars, then)
[21:13] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (more than likely)
[21:14] Dragoon_Kevoyan pulls himself up and looks to the others. “Want to try the gate?”
[21:14] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (Okay. That made me laugh out loud)
[21:15] <GWRD> Beyond the gate, the stables lie to your right, while the children's building is immediately to your left. Some faint crying can be heard from a narrow alley between the stables and another building.
[21:16] Tindai_Edo perks to the crying and moves that way, ready to draw his blades if needed
[21:16] Dragoon_Kevoyan raises his musket and aims at the alley.
[21:16] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Anyone want to try that alley? I have you covered.”
[21:17] <Tindai_Edo> “Hello? Is everything ok back there?”
[21:17] <GWRD> You follow the faint crying to the edge of the narrow alley. Within you see an unkempt child standing there with little hands at his eyes crying softly.
[21:18] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (Awwww… :( )
[21:18] Dragoon_Kevoyan pulls the hammer back on his musket.
[21:18] <GWRD> His crying subsides as he looks up at you with a hopeful look.
[21:18] Tindai_Edo kneels in the street in clear view of the child, “What is wrong little one?”
[21:18] <GWRD> His gaze then turns to Kevoyan and runs for the back of the alley.
[21:19] Tindai_Edo looks at Kevoyan with a slight laugh, “Well, you're definately no teddy bear.”
[21:19] Ptolamir shrugs.
[21:20] <Tindai_Edo> “Lets bring light to this temple so these children can live in peace,” he presses foward to the temple to find a way in
[21:23] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “If I were cute and cuddly, I wouldn't have been able to leave the brothel.”
[21:24] Dragoon_Kevoyan raises his barrel and moves forward.
[21:24] <Tindai_Edo> “Eh, they would have thrown you out once your pockets where bled dry.”
[21:24] <GWRD> You move through the street until you reach the inner gates which lead to the temple courtyard. They are closed firm, and you hear no sound of movement from the otherside.
[21:25] Tindai_Edo walks along the wall, looking for something to assist in the climb over, or another entrance.
[21:27] <GWRD> From this side of the wall, that doesn't face the forest, you don't see any sign of plant growth, that may give you some extra assistance getting over the wall.
[21:28] <Tindai_Edo> (does the wall appear to be able to climbed, eg, its not a smooth surface)
[21:28] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Could I boost him up? Or him boost me up?)
[21:29] <GWRD> The wall looks like it could be scalable, but may be a bit difficult to scale without vines or a rope to assist.
[21:29] <Tindai_Edo> (I do have a climbers kit…)
[21:30] <Animal> (and i have 50 ft of hemp rope)
[21:30] Tindai_Edo will attempt to climb it, and lower rope if he makes it
[21:31] <GWRD> (Climb check)
[21:31] <Tindai_Edo> 1d20+8 (including +2 for kit)
[21:31] <TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(15)+8 '(including +2 for kit)']: 23
[21:31] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (*sigh*)
[21:31] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (brb - I need to drink this off)
[21:31] <GWRD> Tindai easily scales the wall, making it look easy.
[21:32] <GWRD> (From which side did you climb, left or right of the gate?)
[21:32] Tindai_Edo carefully moves along the top of the wall, looking for a place to secure a rope to (lets say left)
[21:34] <GWRD> The top of the wall is slim, and traveling along it may require some balancing. From here you can see the training grounds outside of the guest house you were given access to. The grounds seem quiet at the moment, but you feel at unease for some reason.
[21:36] <GWRD> (Perception check Tindai)
[21:36] <Tindai_Edo> 1d20+2
[21:36] <TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(13)+2]: 15
[21:36] <GWRD> 1d20+9
[21:36] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d20(10)+9]: 19
[21:37] <GWRD> You feel as if you are being watched, but can not identify a source, as you turn your attention back to your allies.
[21:37] <Tindai_Edo> (joy)
[21:37] Tindai_Edo looks towards the gate to see if he could rapidly unbar and open it if he was to drop down. (If I can even see it that is)
[21:39] <GWRD> The gate does appear to be barred by a heavy wooden beam, but you think it may take about 20 seconds or so to do if you were quick about it, and the beam is not too heavy.
[21:39] Tindai_Edo looks down to the others, “Should I just open the door for you?”
[21:42] <Animal> “If you think you can.”
[21:44] Tindai_Edo makes to climb down the inside
[21:44] <Tindai_Edo> 1d20+8 (climbing down)
[21:44] <TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(2)+8 '(climbing down)']: 10
[21:44] Dragoon_Kevoyan looks around
[21:44] <GWRD> 1d6
[21:44] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d6(1)]: 1
[21:44] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (…well, he made it down…)
[21:45] <GWRD> Tindai disappears from the top of the wall, as you hear some scraping followed by a soft thud…
[21:45] <GWRD> (Perception check Tindai)
[21:45] <Tindai_Edo> 1d20+2
[21:45] <TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(10)+2]: 12
[21:46] <GWRD> As you are lying on your back upside down, you spot humanoids bursting out of the earth on the other side of the gate.
[21:46] Tindai_Edo beats feet to the gate, and attempts to unbar it
[21:47] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (At last! Something I can shoot at!)
[21:47] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (Keeeeep off the graaaasssssssss)
[21:47] Animal readies her great axe.
[21:47] <GWRD> You rise to your feet as the 3 humanoid creatures at the same time climb out of the earth. You all start rushing towards the gate, while your party awaits on the side they can't see you from.
[21:48] Dragoon_Kevoyan takes a knee.
[21:48] <Tindai_Edo> (str check I'm guessing to unbar the gate?)
[21:50] <GWRD> You and the trio both reach the gate at the same time, and their rotting skin, fetid looking claws and nasty teeth reach out in attempts to rend the flesh from your body.
[21:50] <GWRD> (If you attempt to lift the gate, they will attack against your flat footed AC)
[21:51] <Tindai_Edo> (which is still 18… *ponders*)
[21:51] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (By the time I join this campaign it's going to be a single player game :p)
[21:51] <GWRD> (Choose quickly)
[21:52] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (You'll never be alone, LD… never…)
[21:52] Tindai_Edo growls and draws his blades and lays into the one nearest him
[21:52] <GWRD> (init)
[21:52] <Tindai_Edo> 1d20+3
[21:52] <TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(18)+3]: 21

[21:55] Dragoon_Kevoyan levels his musket and waits for something other than Tindai to come through to guiltlessly shoot.
[21:55] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Hold fast, friends!”
[21:56] <GWRD> Two of the creatures get in you face, claws and fangs swinging aggressively in your face, as the third moves around you to your flank.

[21:59] <Ptolamir> (nice counter)
[22:00] <Tindai_Edo> (that was saving throws…only passed 3)
[22:00] <Ptolamir> (oops)
[22:00] <GWRD> There is what sounds like a mauling on the other side of the gate, followed by silence from Tindai.
[22:01] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “TINDAI! SOUND OFF!”
[22:02] <GWRD> Silence, and the sounds of movement leading away from the gate.
[22:02] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Gods damn it.”
[22:03] Dragoon_Kevoyan looks over his shoulder
[22:03] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Who's an archer?:
[22:04] Dragoon_Kevoyan looks back to the wall – is the rope still there?
[22:05] <GWRD> (He never lowered the rope)
[22:05] <Ptolamir> (so we can’t see him?)
[22:05] Dragoon_Kevoyan runs for the wall, hoping a running start will get him up.
[22:06] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (rolling climb)
[22:06] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d20+1
[22:06] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d20(3)+1]: 4
[22:06] <GWRD> (He dropped down to the other side of the wall to open the gate, but failed his check to spot the ambush)
[22:06] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (Splat)
[22:06] Dragoon_Kevoyan slips and hits the ground.
[22:06] <Tindai_Edo> (don't mind me, I'm gonna go entertain myself while I wait to die and/or be found but got the feeling I have a while lol)
[22:06] <GWRD> Kevoyan smashes into the wall with a thud, getting no traction on the wall at all.
[22:07] Animal approaches the gate and looks to see if she can see a crack, or break where she can see the bar holding it closed.
[22:07] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (I call dibs on Tindai's ribcage)
[22:07] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I wish my mom had married a stone maison and not the man I got my good looks from.”
[22:07] Dragoon_Kevoyan walks back to the gate.
[22:07] Dragoon_Kevoyan whistles, and waits for the Old Man.
[22:08] <GWRD> There is no crack by which to see by through the gate where the bar is, but perhaps under the gate you could see a faint bit.
[22:08] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Come on, old man – I need some rope.”
[22:09] <Animal> (how much space is there between the bottom of the gate and the ground?)
[22:10] <GWRD> (Maybe an inch or two)
[22:10] <Animal> (k)
[22:11] <GWRD> The Old Man trots over… and gets spooked and stays away from you and the gate.
[22:11] Dragoon_Kevoyan sighs gently.
[22:11] <GWRD> NEIGH!”
[22:11] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (“Nay, I say!”)
[22:11] <Ptolamir> (So has he called out or anything so we even know he’s in a fight?)
[22:11] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I don't have time for this, old man.”
[22:11] <Tindai_Edo> (I am a Knight of Neigh!)
[22:11] <GWRD> The Old Man protests, and backs up from the gate, sniffing the air, his nose flaring.
[22:12] Dragoon_Kevoyan walks up to the horse.
[22:13] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Easy, old man. We've been through worse, and all I want is the rope from the pack.”
[22:13] <GWRD> (He hopped the wall, you heard him growl and blades being drawn, then the sounds of somebody being mauled. A thud, and then several figures walking away)
[22:14] <GWRD> The Old Man keeps a wide distance from the gate, but allows you to take the rope.
[22:14] <Ptolamir> (k)
[22:14] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> Tindai accidentally ran into Astranaar)
[22:14] <GWRD> (Worse)
[22:15] Animal goes over to Tindai's horse and guides him over to her cart.
[22:15] <GWRD> There is a faint but horrific stink of death and corruption in the air moments after the attack.
[22:15] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (I just love the image of instant aggro, sudden death, then mobs returning to patrol)
[22:17] Dragoon_Kevoyan takes the rope and hook out of the pack.
[22:18] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> Animal would you be a good person and take the old man to your cart. I think he just needs a moment to himself. Right, Old Man?”
[22:19] <GWRD> Old Man doesn't really answer you, but does seem afraid of whatever is on the other side of that gate.
[22:19] <Animal> “Of course” she jogs over to Old Man and gives his nose a few pats before he pulls him gently back towards her cart.
[22:20] <Animal> (*she)
[22:21] <GWRD> The other side of the gate is silent once more, and there's no sound from Tindai.
[22:21] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (He's probably pissed that I've got everyone calling him old man and not his name)
[22:22] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (That's what Mage keeps telling me.)
[22:22] Dragoon_Kevoyan walks over to the wall and tosses his rope and hook over.
[22:22] <Ptolamir> (I’m confused when an old man joined us)
[22:22] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (He's running the game, Tol! HARF HARF HARF)
[22:22] <GWRD> (Old Man is Kevoyan's horse)
[22:23] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (I call the horse “old man”.)
[22:23] * Laughing_Dimetrodon has been kicked.
[22:23] * Laughing_Dimetrodon was kicked by <GWRD (Old man my FOOT!)
[22:23] <Ptolamir> (got it… and who is laughing dimetrodon?)

[22:23] Dragoon_Kevoyan tries to climb up the wall with the rope.
[22:24] <GWRD> (Climb check)
[22:24] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (what's the bonus for rope?)
[22:24] <GWRD> (DC 10 with the rope, DC 20 without)
[22:24] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d20+1
[22:24] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d20(10)+1]: 11
[22:25] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (yes…)
[22:25] Dragoon_Kevoyan straddles the wall and looks around for Tindai.
[22:26] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Where are you?”
[22:27] <GWRD> As you scale the rope and reach the top, you see fresh blood over by where the gate is, while below you, you see two rotting humanoids with fetid claws and fangs getting dirt brushed off them by a third. They all look up at you hungerly, as the stench reaches your nose…
[22:27] <GWRD> (DC 15 fort save)
[22:27] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (The only thing funnier than tumbling off a wall is tumbling off a wall while vomiting the whole way down.)
[22:28] <GWRD> (Which may happen)
[22:28] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d20+8
[22:28] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d20(11)+8]: 19
[22:28] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (It's like a chunky spirograph)
[22:28] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Not today!)
[22:28] <GWRD> You fight back the urge to feed the 3 creatures the way a mother bird feeds her young.
[22:29] <GWRD> (As we return back to initative)
[22:29] <GWRD> `init report
[22:29] <TolBot> Initiative Order: Dragoon_Kevoyan, 29, Undead, 24, Tindai 21, Ptolamir 12, Animal 6
[22:29] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Well, this is easy enough to sort.”
[22:29] * ^ThEeYe^ (ThEeYe@sorcery-e1esk2.cable.rogers.com) Quit (Quit: )
[22:29] * TolBot seems relieved that ^ThEeYe^ is gone
[22:29] Dragoon_Kevoyan draws a bead on one and fires.
[22:30] <GWRD> (Roll to hit, and note you are on a narrow wall, so be careful how you move)
[22:30] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d20+11
[22:30] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d20(6)+11]: 17
[22:30] <GWRD> (hit)
[22:31] <GWRD> (Unless you don't do touch AC)
[22:31] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (it;s a hit)
[22:31] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d12+5
[22:31] <TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d12(10)+5]: 15
[22:32] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “GHASTS! GHASTS!”
[22:32] <GWRD> You put a bullet into the skull of one of the creatures, blowing out the back half of its skull and spine, however it somehow continues to move.
[22:32] <GWRD> (Do you have knowledge Religion?)
[22:32] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (nope)
[22:33] <GWRD> (Have you fought ghasts before?)
[22:33] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Well, this is untowardly.”
[22:33] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (not here)
[22:33] <GWRD> 2#1d20+8 climb checks
[22:33] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d20(1)+8 'climb checks']: 9 (Not good.)
[22:33] <TolBot> <[GWRD's 1d20(14)+8 'climb checks']: 22
[22:34] <GWRD> One of the ghasts climbs up the side of the wall and clings to the wall to your right side, getting ready to snap at your feet with his jaws.
[22:34] <GWRD> Ptolamir Animal)
[22:35] <Ptolamir> (well, still thinking if anything i can do)
[22:35] <Ptolamir> (can I tell there’s a mob just below Dragoon?)
[22:36] <GWRD> Layout is something like this: Party |K| Ghasts (With the | | being the wall, and the K being Kevoyan on the wall)
[22:36] <GWRD> (You can hear them, yes)
[22:36] <Animal> (can we see the ghast that climbed the wall?)
[22:36] <GWRD> (No)
[22:37] <Animal> (k)
[22:38] <GWRD> Kevoyan Ghasts)
[22:38] Ptolamir points and sends a Flaming Sphere over the wall.
[22:38] Dragoon_Kevoyan flings one leg over and drops back to the group.
[22:39] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Well…good news it, there's only three of them. Bad news is that muskets don't seem to affect them that much.”
[22:39] <GWRD> Kevoyan lands with a soft landing on the ground by you, as you hear movement on the other side of the wall, moving away from the flaming sphere's landing point.
[22:39] <Ptolamir> (Gonna stop the sphere in the “space” below Dragoon)
[22:40] <GWRD> (roll me a percentage. Below 20% might hit one)
[22:40] <Ptolamir> 1d100
[22:40] <TolBot> Ptolamir's 1d100(23)]: 23
[22:41] <GWRD> Voice: “Leave them to that side of the wall, let them come to us.”
[22:42] <GWRD> Other voice: “He lew my ead open. I wan eat him”
[22:43] <GWRD> The second voice seems to be having some serious speech issues.
[22:43] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Too much lead in his water?)
[22:43] <Laughing_Dimetrodon> (ive gotta bail a little early guys. Gotta prepare for inlaws. Good luck on living!)
[22:44] * Laughing_Dimetrodon (Mysterious@sorcery-nvl92u.ca.charter.com) Quit (Quit: I find your lack of skeletal mermaids disturbing.)
[22:44] <Animal> (thanks LD)
[22:44] * TolBot seems relieved that Laughing_Dimetrodon is gone
[22:44] <GWRD> The other side of the wall goes silent once more.
[22:44] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Very well, ideas?”
[22:44] Dragoon_Kevoyan leads the group out of earshot from the wall.
[22:46] <Animal> “well, I have lots of firewood, and he's got glowy hands.” points to Ptolamir.
[22:46] Ptolamir backs up a little, moving the fireball to rest atop the wall, continuing to concentrate on it.
[22:47] <Ptolamir> (*the flaming sphere, technically)
[22:47] <GWRD> The sphere sits atop the wall burning as it is carefully balanced on the 1 foot wide wall top.
[22:48] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Smoke them out or set them on fire? Either way works for me.”
[22:50] <Animal> “which would be better?”
[22:52] <Ptolamir> (so, the courtyard outside the temple that was previously occupied by the the priests we talked to, now has undead monks?)
[22:52] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Fire.”
[22:53] <GWRD> (Not that you have personally seen, but that's what Kevoyan is basically describing to you.)
[22:56] <Ptolamir> (k)
[22:57] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “If I reload, I can climb a different side of the wall and shoot them again.”
[23:03] <Ptolamir> (have we stalled?)
[23:03] <GWRD> (looks that way)
[23:04] <Animal> (time of death 9:05 pm MST)
[23:04] <GWRD> As the group tries to decide on a new course of action, their story ends here for the evening.
[23:04] <GWRD> The End
