Je'rar...
(1) DM: You wake up and find yourself on a
rocky shore of a barren island with a stone keep crowning its crest. A pebble
strewn path leads up to a rusty iron gate. Next to you, placed on a silver tray
is a crystal decanter, several pewter goblets and a
dish of dried fruit. A sealed bone scroll case is also on the tray.
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: "Is everyone ok?
** (6) Morti groggily rights himself to sit up
rubbing his eyes and taking in the sights, before quickly remembering to check
for Moiraine's safety in his coat **
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: "
** (7) Je'rar inspects the boat,checking to see if
it's still in one piece **
(1) DM: (she's there)
(1) DM: (drenched however)
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: "Let us take this
boat away from this angry water and keep it safe if we need to escape"
(6) Morti: (are we still on the landing
boat? if not is it insight? is
our gear with us? does the fruit platter have dates? mmmm.. dates)
(1) DM: (miserable and crabby)
(7) Je'rar: (eeeew.. wet pussy) ((ROTFL))
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: ((ROFL))
(1) DM: (no. yes. yes. no.)
(3) Trayn : (bak)
** (6) Morti picks the kitten up out of his pocket to
hold her up against his soggy scarfed face in an affectionate hug **
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: Well, morti check if that
scroll case is majicked"
** (7) Je'rar checks the surrounding area for any
tracks **
(3) Trayn : "that... if I don't miss my
guess.. is our way home maybe"
** (4) Rainur Swiftblade takes off his armor and
takes off his clothes and stands naked before you **
(3) Trayn : "or directions on how to proceed"
(6) Morti: "looking up to Reiner, Morti
gives the war priest a sure nod and sets the kitten down. Strolling within ten
feet of the tray and scroll case he holds out his hands and reaches forth with
his will (detect magic)
(7) Je'rar: I think you need yourself a new
sword, my brother"
(3) Trayn : "or more worrisome... our
welcome to the island by its occupants"
** (4) Rainur Swiftblade starts to wring out his
clothes **
** (7) Je'rar chuckles rather loudly **
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: "Ye should do the
same lest you want the salt of the water to affect ye later"
whispering to Je'rar, yes, strangely enough,
there are tracks of booted feet coming and going from the rusty iron gate.
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: "I have no shame,
for this is how I was born"
(8) DM Alex (enter): 17:03
** (4) Rainur Swiftblade continues to dry out his
clothes **
(7) Je'rar (whispering): tries
to get an estimate of numbers
(6) Morti: (anything from the detection?)
whispering to DM Alex, just 1 set. human
from appearances
whispering to Morti, nope
** (6) Morti turns round after the spell, regretably
seeing Reiner. "Ahhgg...!!" turning back quickly,
"S-scarrr-ry...." **
(3) Trayn (exit): 17:05
(8) DM Alex (whispering): wrong
guy =)
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: "ye would do well to
dry out this water that is filled with salt from your scarves"
whispering to Je'rar, just 1 set, human from
appearances
whispering to Je'rar, sorry
whispering to DM Alex, sorry
(7) Je'rar: "Hmm.."
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: "I do not know about
this ocean, but I know its water tasted like salt"
** (7) Je'rar goes to wave towards the others **
(7) Je'rar: *motions 'come here'
(1) Drenla: You're not supposed to drink the
water, Rainur. (chuckling)
(6) Morti: "cold too.." :shivers a
bit as he looks around... trying to avoid looking at the hairy man though:
(8) DM Alex (exit): 17:07
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: "When the water
diries it shall damage your skin, and it will keep you cold"
(6) Morti: "Eh?" :moves toward Jer'ar:
"What
(6) Morti: ?"
** (7) Je'rar points to the ground **
(4) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): that is a basic survival skill stan
whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, k
(7) Je'rar: "look.. tracks, one human
from and to that rusty iron gate"
** (6) Morti cocks his head in questioning then looks
to the spot Jer'ar points out **
** (4) Rainur Swiftblade shakes the water out and
starts to put on his clothes and armor **
(6) Morti: :speaking the obvious:
"Probably where the food came from"
(7) Je'rar: "only one man"
** (4) Rainur Swiftblade points to the case next to
the food **
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: "perhaps it is a
note to us"
(6) Morti: "Well, it's not magical.. so it could be"
** (4) Rainur Swiftblade picks it up and opens it **
(1) TaliesinNYC: Text: Welcome to Cragrapid Island.
We hope you enjoy your stay.
Rhian
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: "That is odd....I
thought she was held prisoner here
(7) Je'rar: "Maybe she did that go back
in time thing toleave the note.. we must hurry!"
(4) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): detect poison
** (4) Rainur Swiftblade waves his hands over the
food **
whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, in the
decanter. not the fruit.
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: do not drink from here my
friends...the fruit is safe
** (6) Morti takes another look around before looking
down at his own wet clothes. Stripping off his over coat to lay out on the
rocks, he then clasps his hands together almost in silent prayer as he
concentrates for a moment. Eventually wisps of steam begin to rise from his
clothing leaving it eventually dried (prestidigtation) **
(1) DM: (ok)
** (7) Je'rar starts to stride towards the gate,using
the terrian for cover/conecealment **
(6) Morti: :moving over and snatching a
piece of fruit: "Good to know"
(4) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): if there are any crabs on the rock he will pour a little of
the liquid on it
(4) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): that is in the decanter
whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, ok
whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, nothing happens
whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, it smells like
brandy
** (4) Rainur Swiftblade pours a little liquid on a
scurrying crab.."quite a welcome" **
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: poisonous spirits...
(4) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): spider senses?
whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, nope
** (4) Rainur Swiftblade concentrates around the area
**
(1) DM: (there's nothing for use as cover or
concealment, Je'rar. the island is barren of vegetation)
(6) Morti: :lowering his mask, showing none
of the pretenses of hiding his face he bites the apple, while he watches
Jer'ar's approach. Between chewing...: "are we giong
in?"
(7) Je'rar: (ok..so
I stride forwards out in the open then :P )
** (4) Rainur Swiftblade is now fully dressed again
and ...dry **
(4) Rainur Swiftblade: "Come all , let us
get away from this angry sea...it is obvious that we have already been
detected"
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "We should make
our way to the gate, lads...it is a shame that Kyla did not make it"

and get his armor on... (he will need some help) **

Server Administrator-> This channel is now moderated
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: Yes trayn whatever ye
require
** (3376) Rainur Swiftblade helps the priest **
(3380) Trayn : "Thank you..." and
he means it of course
(3380) Trayn : "Yes to the gate.. have we determined the substance of the scroll?"
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): rainur will overtighten it
(3380) Trayn : "I was a little busy
putting my armor on.."
** (3376) Rainur Swiftblade tightens it **
** (3380) Trayn appologizes **
** (3375) Morti grimaces at the mention of Kyla, and
moves aside to lay out his equipment, trying his cloak in the same manner as
his clothes he turns to Moiraine, " You wait here. You'll be safer. We'll
be back soon." **
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "How is
that...tight enough?"
(3377) Moiraine: Meow. Mrrr.
(3377) DM: (ok, so you're at the gate. It's
closed but not locked.)
(3375) Morti: :pets the kitten delicately on
the head, and goes into his pack for some now soggy jerky, then grabs up his
staff and follows the others to the gate. Surprisingly he wears his scarf
wrapped at his neck leaving his inhuman bald head open to view
(3380) Trayn : "lets see... I remember
asking questions on where to find her"
(3380) Trayn :
"and asking about the location of the most
dangerous denizens.. did I not"
(3377) DM: (for the map, scroll below)
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): checks for traps on the gate
whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, nope, none
** (3375) Morti peers to Trayn for a moment before
rolling his head back in thought **
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "Well if we are
walking into the abyss, let us meet it head on"
** (3376) Rainur Swiftblade opens the gate **
(3377) DM: The passage within is a stone
corridor with a ceiling height of 12'. Torches are spaced every so often in
wrought iron brackets.
(3377) DM: It creaks open.
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "Shall we take a
torch "
(3375) Morti: (what is the layout of the
building as we can see it? how many floors can we make
out, how large is it, are there towers? is there a
battlement above that I could levitate to?)
(3377) DM: (a large stone keep. at least two
floors. several towers. yes.)
** (3375) Morti unsheathes the end of his staff to
free the continual flame beneath. "Got one" **
(3377) DM: You can hear birds above, but can't
see them.
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: Wilderness Lore Skill
Check: [1d20+8] -> [2,8] = (10)
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): 10
** (3378) Je'rar tries to identify the birds **
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "I would not
leave yer cat alone here"
(3378) Je'rar: wtf
** (3376) Rainur Swiftblade points to where the birds
are coming from **
(3375) Morti: "EH?" :looks
curiously to Rainur: "WHy?"
(3378) Je'rar: gotta wait; fkn company
(3375) Morti: :looks to Rainur's pointing:
(3374) Aramil (enter): 17:38
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "Hear the birds?
They could attack her"
whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, vultures
(3375) Morti: "Don't cats hunt
birds?"
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: They are vultures,
Morti and they are MUCH bigger than she is"
(3380) Trayn : "well decide one way or
another"
(3380) Trayn : ((what was in the scroll btw
- i missed it))
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "If they see her
they may try yo kill her as food"
(3374) Aramil (exit): 17:39
(3375) Morti: :gapes at Rainur for a moment,
before giving an understanding nod. He then runs back to quickly retrieve the
kitten and return to the gate:
whispering to Trayn , a note that said
"Welcome to Cragrapid Island. We hope you enjoy your stay. Rhian." Decanter held poisoned brandy.
(3380) Trayn (whispering): nice
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: to
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "on the plains
they eat wounded lions, an ugly sight"
(3380) Trayn : "well lets
proceed..."
** (3375) Morti lets the cat nestle on his shoulder,
warning, "FIrst sign of danger you run, okay?" **
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "I agree"
(3380) Trayn : "Rhian awaits her
rescue"
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "Do you wish to
take the lead my friend?
** (3375) Morti nods swiftly to Trayn and prepares to
follow **
** (3376) Rainur Swiftblade clinks Trayn's armor **
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "Ye are now well
protected" ::chuckles
(3377) DM: As you turn the corner, you come to
a stone door ahead. To the right is a closed wooden door.
(3380) Trayn : "yes... but much less
mobile"
** (3378) Je'rar looks around(spots),and listens
before going through the gate **
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: Spot Skill Check:
[1d20+3] -> [12,3] = (15)
whispering to Je'rar, nothing
(3380) Trayn (whispering): i
can't access most of the word files on the site from home (but can from work)
whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, nothing
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): 16 for spot check
whispering to Trayn , I changed them to HTM
format
(3378) Je'rar: "Hmm.. wish we didn't
always have touse the Dantrag key,...oh well"
whispering to Trayn , the most recent ones
anyway
(3380) Trayn (whispering): my
question was where she would be... cant remember if she is upstairs or in the
dungeon
** (3378) Je'rar takes a quick breath,and goes to
open the door **
whispering to Trayn , ah
(3380) Trayn (whispering): i
was thinking dungoen
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: I have a little skill
but not as good as a rogue
(3377) DM: (which door, the stone one or the
wooden wone?)
** (3380) Trayn opens the door... looking for stairs
**
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: I can tell ye if a
trap exists but cannot disarm it
(3378) Je'rar: hmmm
(3380) Trayn : (wooden one first)
** (3378) Je'rar *listens* at each one **
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: Listen Skill Check:
[1d20+3] -> [7,3] = (10)
(3377) DM: (locked)
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): 11 for lsitem
whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, nothing
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: I do not see any
obvious traps so the dantrag key may be apporpriate here
** (3380) Trayn checks the stone door **
(3375) Morti: :staying to the rear at the
corner, not wanting to take chances with Moiraine, Morti looks about the walls
and and ceilings for anything suspicious (scrying devives and such; spot check)
(3377) DM: As you approach the stone door, a
shimmering image of an elderly human woman in a white robe with a scarlet shawl
draped around her shoulders appears in the air before you.
(3377) DM: She speaks:
(3377) TaliesinNYC: Text: Now begins the fated trial,
A test of witching spells.
But beware my rival's wile,
In tower dark he dwells.
In this island's carven maze
Lie the wards of witching ways.
We've made our bets; through eyes and glass
We'll watch the tests you'll fail or pass.
Hoardless creatures creep down in dungeons deep.
The twisted hall of rising floors
Lies beyond a scriptless door.
The tower's peak is what you seek.
(3377) DM: After a moment, the image fades.
(3375) Morti: "Hmm?"
:looks to the illusory woman with studious blue eyes:
(3375) Morti (whispering): did
she resemble an older Rhian?
(3380) Trayn : "the tower then"
(3378) Je'rar: *listens at each door
(3380) Trayn : "lets avoid the
dungeon"
(3375) Morti: :eerily: "A dungeon
doesn't have to be below ground..."
whispering to Morti, roll Spot
whispering to Morti, nope
(3375) Morti: Spot Skill Check: [1d20-1]
-> [4,-1] = (3)
(3380) Trayn : "well typically they
are"
(3377) DM: The wooden door is locked. The stone
door is closed, as far as you can tell.
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "You lead
trayn...
(3375) Morti: "You call this place
typical?" :Quirks his blotchy hairless copper brow:
** (3380) Trayn opens the stone door **
(3380) Trayn : (or tries too)
(3377) Vladizier: Fool! See how I deal with
intruders to my home!
whispering to Trayn , Fortitude
(3396) El Tommo (enter): 17:53
(3375) Morti: "EH?!" :looks for
the source of the voice:
(3377) DM: As Trayn opens the door, a
shimmering blue glyph appears on the door and strikes the priest in his face.
(3380) Trayn :
"oh..."
(3380) Trayn (whispering):
Fortitude Save

whispering to Trayn , take 6
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "Trayn are ye all
right?"
(3378) Je'rar: "Oh great..priest boy gets it"
(3377) DM: The glyph fades as the door opens.
(3378) Je'rar: "Come on..you're gonna be ok"
(3380) Trayn : "hmmm I felt affected...
just a bit"
(3380) Trayn : "but fought it off
whatever it was"
whispering to Trayn , electrical damage
(3375) Morti: "Darn... she even just
said there were wards..." :mumbles to him self: "Gotta pay more
attention..."
(3380) Trayn :
"I got zapped a bit"
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: how so ?
** (3380) Trayn heals himself before continuing **
(3380) Trayn (whispering): for
[1d8+4] -> [1,4] = (5) hps
(3377) DM: The door opens to reveal a long
stone corridor, lit by several torches. Two doors lie on your left -- one
immediately to your left, one further down the hall.
whispering to Trayn , k
(3401) Disorder (enter): 17:57
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "Well my friend,
ye must be more careful
(3380) Trayn : "I'm not sure if I
should lead"
(3380) Trayn : "the lead person will be
affected by these wards"
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "Aye this is
true"
(3380) Trayn : "and should that be
me... then proper healing won't be brought to heal it"
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "Morti, as a
magus, are ye able to dispell these things?"
(3375) Morti: "Sorry, haven't gotten
that far yet."
(3375) Morti: "Drenla?"
(3380) Trayn :
"and even if... we would run out of spells
very quickly"
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "so how do we
cross these wards as you call them without being affected?
** (3375) Morti scratches his irrated scalp for a
second, thinking, "Why don't we just not go this way
then?" **
(3380) Trayn : "the other door is
locked"
(3380) Trayn : "and if they weren't
protected too.. then they would lead to nothing"
(3375) Morti: "No, I mean not go
through the building..."
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "That has a quick
remedy Trayn" ::smiles::
(3377) Drenla: I could...but if there are
innumerable wards, it might be more helpful if we found an alternate way of
resolving this problem.
(3380) Trayn :
"well then state your case"
(3403) Durion (enter): 18:02
(3375) Morti: "With the boots the King
gave me, I could float up the wall and secure a rope for you guys to climb.
After all, we only have to reach the top of the tower that Rhian;s in right?"
(3380) Trayn :
"I'm more than interested in listening to a
plan that avoids harm"
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: Well ye decide and I
will follow the groups decision
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): does the tower look scalable?
whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, possibly
** (3375) Morti moves to the stone doorway to peer
curiously in to the next room as they try to decide **
whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, which tower
though? you saw at least three.
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: I am an EXTREMELY good
climber, but there are at least three towers"

to your left
(3375) Morti (whispering): I
know
(3380) Trayn : "well we seek... the
tower's peak"
(3380) Trayn : "would not that be the
highest of the three?"
(3375) Morti: :looks back to Rainur: "Yeah, guess it would take a little
while... and there might be guardians and wards out there too.."

(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: right so lets press
on. do ye just want to open the wood door?
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): spider senses on the wood door
** (3376) Rainur Swiftblade concentrates on the wood
door **
(3375) Morti: "That means breaking it
down, and it might be trapped too"
(3377) DM: (which door? immediate left or far
left? folks, you need to be more specific.)
(3403) Durion (whispering): what
game is this?
whispering to Durion, 3E
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: immediate left
(3380) Trayn : ((think the 1st wood door))
(3326) Tarl (enter): 18:07
(3375) Morti: ((think he means the southern
one actually)
(3403) Durion (whispering): campaign

** (3378) Je'rar uses the Dantrag key on the closer
door **
(3377) DM: This door, btw, is quite cold and
damp.
(3377) DM: (roll Open Doors then)
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "Stop Je'rar
(3377) DM: (too late, he did it)
whispering to Durion, campaign
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): oh well
(3378) Je'rar: (hmm.. possibility
he said that before I applied the kick?)
(3377) DM: (remember the "you say it, you
do it" rule)
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: Je'rar breaks Rainur's
concentration
(3378) Je'rar: (yes but if someone says
their gonna do something while someone lelse tries to tell them not to, what
then only one person can type at a time)
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): that half circle and opening before 3 is a window correct?
(3377) DM: (it means you need to be more
careful in your actions)
(3378) Je'rar: (so I should type: I'm going
to use the dantrag key unless someone tells me not to?)
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: (I'm ok with stan's
ruling)
whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, that half
circle is another room. if you scroll up or were
paying attention, I said there was a stone door ahead and a wooden door to your
right. you checked thw wooden door and Trayn checked the stone door
(3378) Je'rar: (not nit-picking; justt rying
to clarify this,as it may prove lethal someday)
(3377) DM: (you should be more careful with
your actions. if you say, you use the Dantrag key, then what will happen is
that you use the Dantrag key. if someone says it while you're doing it, it's a
bit too late, isn't it?)
(3412) Rift (enter): 18:12
(3403) Durion (whispering): (if
i may be so bold, I'd say you should type: I'm going to move to kick down the
door. .. that allows someone to interrupt, and if they dont, the DM can
continue)
(3377) DM: (it's already proven lethal on more
than one occasion. what's different about this situation? =P)
whispering to Durion, you're being bold. now relax.
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): sorry stan
(3375) Morti: (have to agree :nod nod:)
(3403) Durion (whispering): lol
(3378) Je'rar: (not necessarily; there's
been how many times my mom would tell me not to touch the stove as I was
reaching for it.. but stopped me from bruning the fk outa myself :) )
(3415) Rift (enter): 18:13
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: (ok so what happens)
(3377) DM: (hah. well, just remember that I'm
not your mom. *I* don't care what happens to you. heheh)
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: LOL
(3378) Je'rar: (rol % dice I stopped in time
would be my guess at this point; will have to try to determine a better working
system for stated actions in my spare time
(3377) DM: (Je'rar needs to roll an open doors
roll to see if he breaks down the door.)

rough shaped cavern filled with water. There is an opening to the far left of
the chamber, out into the ocean. A narrow rocky ledge runs around the cavern to
the other side where a closed porticullis sits. The cavern is unlit, however a windy draft can be felt from the ceiling.
There is an iron ring in the middle of the right hand wall.

the chamber is open to the sky, far far above.

here....in the center of the room...evil

that's going to be a common trend in this place"

strong
(3378) Je'rar: "I sayif its evil, let
it come, and we kill it"
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "well let us do
what we are here to do but this is an evil that has an opening to the sky here.
It may follow us later"
whispering to Disorder, you're going to have to
remember that I'm BIG on details, so if you don't remember something, I won't
remind you. for instance, its funny how I say something
and this party rememebers like half of it. =P
(3380) Trayn : "we are not here to
defeat evil in all its dark cracks and hovels"

leader Trayn, just pointing out that it may potentially come back and bite
us"
(3401) Disorder (whispering): hehe
:) thanks for the tip :)
whispering to Rift, just told Nate that I'm big
on details, so if you don't remember something, I won't remind you.
(3380) Trayn :

we will deal with it then"

"are"))

(3377) DM: ((that would be helpful. David
should have control of the mini. which door is next? the far left one?))
(3380) Trayn :
((since DM has fog on.. it woud be best if he did
so.. most mini's will appear in the fog))

(3377) Drenla: Of course, Rainur.

(3376) Rainur Swiftblade (whispering): do the voices become louder?
(3377) DM: The voices are clearer now. It's
definitely Rhian.

do you see?

whispering to Rainur Swiftblade, still there
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: No, Morti, it is
definately still there and it is Rhian...I am sure of it!
(3377) Drenla: It's possible. However, you can
translate that image's message any number of ways, apprentice. She didn't say
exactly what it was we sought.
(3375) Morti: :gulps:
"ALright then."
** (3376) Rainur Swiftblade follows the voice **
** (3377) Drenla chants an incantation, and you hear
an accurate rendering of the elderly woman's message, right down to the voice
but not the image: **
(3377) TaliesinNYC: Text: Now begins the fated trial,
A test of witching spells.
But beware my rival's wile,
In tower dark he dwells.
In this island's carven maze
Lie the wards of witching ways.
We've made our bets; through eyes and glass
We'll watch the tests you'll fail or pass.
Hoardless creatures creep down in dungeons deep.
The twisted hall of rising floors
Lies beyond a scriptless door.
The tower's peak is what you seek.
(3377) Drenla: Notice that she doesn't say
anything about exactly what it is we're seeking. We're assuming that Rhian is
in a tower. However, the image didn't say anything about Rhian.
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: Well I am going
forward gents
(3375) Morti: :to drenla: "I know it
can be interpereted a few ways, but.... this seems to easy"
(3377) Drenla: And that is precisely my worry,
apprentice.
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: Easy is relative...
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: Perhaps rhian is
merely bait for us
** (3375) Morti follows behind the three larger
adventurers and before Drenla, letting moiraine sit on his shoulder again as he
takes in the surroundings nervously. **
(3377) Drenla: In fact, I think the image is
saying, we seek her wizardly rival, who dwells in a dark tower. That's my
interpretation anyway.
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: Yes but we must free
her first.
(3375) Morti: "But he'd keep her and,
or her soul close to him for safe keeping.. right?"
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: He is the real target
(3444) Thomas (enter): 19:04
(3377) DM: Further down the corridor, you can
see that the passage twists to the east. The wooden door with the barred window
is closed. Peering inside, you see that it's a mini-gaol, with individual cells
within.
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: Rainur goes down the
corridor
(3401) Disorder (whispering): was
just talking to nate, and apparently it's just this room he's having trouble
with but he'll be on for a chat after the session probably need to go to a
different room though.
(3376) Rainur Swiftblade: "this is
currious, no guard?"
(3380) Trayn :
"which means perhaps no prisoners"

(3375) Morti: "Wait.... remember the stone door? wards"
(3378) Je'rar: "Let's make sure of the
situation..no way of knowing wheter there's any
prisoners unless we look..but somebody stay back in case its meant to trap us
inside"

firmly at the handgrip while stepping forward.. then he attempts to smash it
down on an ogres face (same one Rainur attacked) **

as he is not here
whispering to Je'rar, yes
(3380) Trayn : ((didnt last time))

whispering to Disorder, ok

with his mace again..its head dripping with Ogre gore

though and hes not online atm.
(3378) Je'rar: *the longsword has an extra
+1 to hit
(3377) DM: (still won't matter. you need higher
than 12 or 10 to hit)

(3377) DM: (my bad)
(3375) Morti: (read the dmg. done it myself)
(3401) Disorder (whispering): So
for a basic description are you jsut after short or tall and hair/eye colour
etc .. or visable equip as well ... cause working out what equipment i want to
use generally takes a while ...
(3378) Je'rar: 21 dmg then
(3375) Morti: "Well.... that was...
surprising..."
whispering to Disorder, I need a basic
description as to what the PCs see when they see you. if
I don't get one from you by the time they free you, I'm going to wing it and we
can conform things later. you'll make my life a lot
easier if you can at least provide a basic description now.
(3401) Disorder (whispering): i'll
work mine out now then .. i'll
give myself some basic equip cause i can always get new stuff :) umm i assume
that rangers still get the dual wield feats ?
** (3375) Morti moves back to Moiraine, giving her an
assuring rub on the head before picking her back up **
whispering to Disorder, well we've established
you don't have any equipment so that doesn't apply
(3401) Disorder (whispering): ahhh
ok .. that makes it easy then :)
whispering to Disorder, your equip isn't here,
so don't worry about it. what the PCs see when they
see you would be nice.
(3495) Rainur Swiftblade (enter): 19:47
(3375) Morti: "Why are they covered in
seaweed?"
(3401) Disorder (whispering): have
we got like 20 mins ( just talking to nate atm)

(3375) Morti: :moving in to inspect the body of the one to the south:
"Can they all do that appearing out of nowhere thing?"
(3377) Drenla: I have a feeling that we'll see
surprises like that throughout this keep. Be on your guard, friends. And no,
ogres can't do that unless they're ogre magi.
(3375) Morti: "Oh..."
(3377) Drenla: These weren't ogre magi.
(3375) Morti: :then looking up to the door supposedly leading to Rhian:

i just called nate and he's going to be on soon hopefully, if open still does't
work for him he'll probable tchat to you on yahoo or something
(3375) Morti: "So... are we going in?
Or are we just going to stare at the door?" (did
I complete my magic detection or even start it before the ogres?)

your magic detection)

the cells. That's it.

it's still not working for him apparently
(3375) Morti: :calls into the cell area:
"Rhian, are you still there?"
(3511) Trayn (enter): 19:58
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: Ays, yes, Morti, I am
here.
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: There are two others
here, both elves.
(1961) Trayn :
((kill the drow scum!))
(1961) Trayn :
((j/k))
(1961) Trayn : "hmmm guest of honor...
and mostly abandoned to their fate"
** (1961) Trayn enters cautiously... and engages in
conversation with those that he sees **
(1961) Trayn : ((i missed anything before
this so if it seems that im insane... its not true))
(1961) Trayn : ((what Rhians talking in Morti's
head... aka I shouldnt have heard that?))
(1956) DM: You open the doors. The room inside
is a large stone room, damp and cold. There is a faint odor of moldy cheese in
the room. 5 individual cell doors stand closed. One of them, to your immediate
left, glows with a scintillating aura of multi-colored light.
(1961) Trayn :
was
(1956) DM: Each of them has barred windows.
(1956) DM: (you heard her voice)
** (1961) Trayn tries to acertain the contents
within.. leaving the light for last **
(1956) DM: (She wasn't talking in Morti's head.
LOL)
(1959) Git: (woah, that's a lotta text just
came up...)
(1961) Trayn : ((you never know with Morti))
** (1959) Git grabs Trayn before he enters too far,
calling to Rhian once more, "Can the other two please answer us" **
** (1961) Trayn allows this **
** (1956) Rhian Aes Sedai comes up to her cell door,
the one with the multi-colored aura. **
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: As ye can see, I am
here. There is however something ye must know if ye are to free me.
(1959) Git: :moves in to whisper to Trayn, "That cell.. I feel
magic"
Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (1960)
Rift...
Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (1958)
Disorder...
(1959) Git: :gripping his staff: "What's that?"
(1959) Git: (as in what's that we should
know)
(1961) Trayn : "yes please tell
us..."
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: The key to this cell is
not a key as in an item, but rather a specific condition that ye must fulfill.
Ye must slay Vladizier in order for me to be freed. However, if ye do so, I
will be stripped of my magicka.
(1958) Disorder (whispering): do
i know how i got here or where i am ?
(1961) Trayn :
"Alight I understand that... overall"
(1959) Git: "Is that the only way to
open it?" :asks while looking around to the other cells:
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: There is however an
alternate condition. However, I shall not say what this is due to the fact that
even now, ye are being scried upon. (indicates the
floating ghost eyes above you)
(1961) Trayn :
"the death of Vladizier will cause this magic
light... which has you imprisoned to strip you of your magic"
whispering to Disorder, you were on a merchant
ship that was destroyed when a band of aquatic ogres and koalinth happened on
the ship and attacked. you and Nate's PC barely
escaped and came upon this island. you were captured
by the island's residents and placed in a cells
whispering to Disorder, the residents of the
island are a mage named Vladizier and an alchemist named Nastisha.
(1959) Git: "So, this is really you.. Rhian? Your soul returned?"
(1961) Trayn :
"hmmm yes it would be better to prove yourself
to us"
whispering to Disorder, they have a dvergr
servant named Bulghvus. At certain times, you've felt the strange feeling of
being spied upon but you're unsure where this is coming from
(1961) Trayn :
"when we spoke of coming here... to rescue
your sister..."
(1961) Trayn :
"you had us ask questions...this is Trayn...
which question did I ask?"
(1961) Trayn (whispering): where
her sister would be found below middle or high above in the tower/castle
(1961) Trayn (whispering): was
the question
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: I don't understand. Why
would I have to prove myself?
(1959) Git: (was the magic from the cell
itself or something with in. COuld I tell?)
(1961) Trayn (whispering): and
that isnt coming true btw
(1961) Trayn : "because I am an
untrusting sort"
(1961) Trayn (whispering): thats
a fib actually
(1961) Trayn : "and require proof of
your identity... you could be an agent of or even vladizier in disquise
(1959) Git: "Sorry... Guess we're just
a little surprised to finally meet you." :strolls
carefully into the room, looking to Rhian curioously:
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: (the magic surrounds
the cell, both the front and back as well as the ceiling and floor)
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: Ah, I see. I
understand.
(1961) Trayn :
((man that makes for difficult toilet
accomodations))
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: Ye wish for me to
verify my identity. I too, were I a less trusting sort
than I am. (glancing at the eyes above)
(1961) Trayn : ((ha that means the sides are
still available!... j/k))
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: Listen then, priest of
the Lightwalker:
(1959) Git: :head cocks as he looks her over
thoughfully:
(1962) Silverlocke (enter): 20:29
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: I said: "To give
you a bit of direction, since you asked for it, here is one piece of the
puzzle: "My sister lies inside a wizard's castle on an islad far to the
south of Wylund, near the pirate holds known as Vesicant and Scrape. Where, I
know not exactly."
(1958) Disorder (whispering): brb
(1962) Silverlocke (exit): 20:30
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: I also said, you do not
have a great deal of time, and yet you have as much time as you need. Her life
is not in danger yet...but it may be very soon. Her spells are such that the
wizard who holds her in thrall has yet to pierce her warding cage, and yet with
each passing day, her will grows weaker and weaker. Ye have known why I grow
weaker, as my sister in Tolmara has told ye.
(1961) Trayn : "yes... this rings
true"
(1961) Trayn : "well since these eyes
see and hear much"
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: I said that your road
will take you to the city of Highkeep from where you may be able to procure a
ship that will take you there. You may venture there of your own accord, but you
may if you wish, also cultivate the knowledge of my captors. Or ye may find
that you have paths open to ye that even I cannot foresee.
(1961) Trayn :
"maybe getting directions to your nemesis at
this time would not be to difficult or hazardous"
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: They can only see. They
cannot hear. However, I know that Vladizier can read lips. So it would be
better if I did not say more than I should.
(1959) Git: :Grinning hopefully, he steps toward the cage offering a humble
bow: "I'm satisfied... It's good to finally meet you miss Rhian"
whispering to Git, change this to Morti pls
(1961) Trayn :
"hmm covering your mouth or putting a sack
over your head may defeat that"
(1959) Git: ::blinks: "But uh... can
reading lips..." :raises his scarf to recover his mouth: "Really be
such a benefit?"
(1959) Git: (didn't notice it changed to
Git.....)
(1961) Trayn : ((reverts to last time it was
officially ended not crashed))
(1960) Rift (whispering): also
cause me an dunc were on the same ship im assuming we sort of know each other,
from the ship, are we in the same cell? an how long
have we been here?
(1959) Morti: (musta happened when I
restarted open)
whispering to Morti, Rhian (speaking inside your
head): there is a way to free me but it is significantly more dangerous. Ye
must find and break Vladizier's staff, which is the focus of his power. Doing
so will claim the lives of one of your companions.
(1961) Trayn :
"regardless... we hope to free you soon"
(1961) Trayn : "let us... depart and
seek your unjust captor"
(1959) Morti: :grimaces, and answers back
through the scarf to the mental message: "Well... forget that idea"
whispering to Morti, Rhian: however, the
sacrifice will not be in vain, for I shall personally see to your companion's
ressurection.
whispering to Rift, different cells.
(1987) PythonyTJM (enter): 20:40
whispering to Rift, two weeks (about 18 days)
(1959) Morti: :shaking head: "I still don't know if it's such a good
idea"
(1987) PythonyTJM (exit): 20:40
(1959) Morti: :Mouth covered: "The one
who breaks it is destroyed or whoever's near it?"
whispering to Morti, Rhian: the one who breaks it will sacrifice
his life for mine, for I am nothing without the ability to embrace the One
Power.

room...
(1961) Trayn (exit): 20:44
(1959) Morti: :grimly: "Power isn't everything"
whispering to Morti, I cannot continue
communicating in this manner. I am growing weak yet again.
(1992) Trayn :
"certainly not"
whispering to Morti, Ye misunderstand, Morti.
The One Power is my magicka.
(1959) Morti: "THen put your hand over
your mouth and talk"
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: Out of the mouths of
babes. (chuckles)
(1958) Evarian (whispering): how
long have i been captive ?
** (1956) Rhian Aes Sedai puts her hand over her
mouth as she speaks **
whispering to Evarian, scroll above
(1959) Morti: "I hear that a lot"
(1959) Morti: :covering his mouth still with his scarf: "Niw explain to
them"
(1959) Morti: now*
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: Let me make something
clear, Morti. The One Power is what we Aes Sedai refer
to as the source of our magicka. It is the True Source, the path from which our
magicka flows. Without the ability to embrace the One Power, I am nothing.
(1959) Morti: "You'll die without
it?"
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: Vladizier is a
Darkfriend, a mage who has given himself over to Shai'tan, The Dark One. Even
now, he works to undo the last warding spell that he has placed on my cage. The
aura surrounding my cell is his way to ensure that even if he is slain by ye, he shall have his revenge by stripping me of the ability
to cast spells.
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: If ye slay him, I will
be unable to cast spells or otherwise embrace the Source.
(1959) Morti: :sourly: "ANd if one of us breaks the staff.. we die"
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: However, there is a
second, albeit more dangerous way. A way that calls for true
heroism from one of you. Ye must find and seek Vladizier's staff, the
source and focus of his power. Vladizier is an artifice-mage who delights in
constructing servants and items to do his bidding -- and often places a bit of
himself in the item's construction. Seek and break the staff. Doing this will
claim the lives of one of your companions...and in doing so,
ye will sacrifice your life for mine.
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: But, your sacrifice
will not be in vain, for I shall personally see to that person's ressurection.
(1992) Trayn :
((excellent we can do that.. I vote for Evarian to
do it))
(1958) Evarian (whispering): ok
nate just told me 18 days .. and a question ... there's
10 days in a week right ?
whispering to Evarian, yes
(1960) Rift: ((i second that))
(1956) TaliesinNYC: (LOL)
(1958) Evarian: (( ooh i get to die already ..
damn i'm good :p )
(1959) Morti: (yeah, take one for the team)
(1958) Evarian: (hehe))
(1960) Rift (whispering): brb
a quick lunch dont introduce us for 5-10 mins plz :P
** (1958) Evarian is watching the exchange from his
cell. **
(1992) Trayn : "hmm is the loss of your
magic worth someone dying for?"
(1959) Morti: "Sorry, but I can't....
it would hurt Moiraine." :pets the kitten on his
shoulder:
(1992) Trayn : "surely your life is not
just about your magic.. your connection to the one
source of magic"
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: I tell you now that
long ago, a prophecy was woven that is now being fulfilled. Your presence is
proof of this foretelling. There is more that you must know, but this certain
circumstances (pointing to the eyes above and the cage that surrounds her)
prevent me from revealing more.
(1992) Trayn :
((anyone that relies on our sorry asses to get them
out of a wringer like this deserves to lose her magic))
(1992) Trayn : ; )
(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: The loss of the ability
to embrace the Source means that my life as an Aes Sedai is over. Think of it,
priest of Solnor. Would ye be a priest without your god? Would ye be a sorcerer
without your magicka? Would Je'rar be a warrior without an arm?
(1992) Trayn :
"I would still be devoted to my god,, without
the use of magic"
(1992) Trayn : "I have mundane healing
skills"
(1996) Tarkin (enter): 20:58

(1956) Rhian Aes Sedai: This is truly said. But
this is the fate with which ye are dealt. Ye may unlock this cage, but I cannot
step out. Ye may slay Vlaidizier and I will be free, but the Dark One will have
won at least a minor battle. Or ye may break his staff and sacrifice a life to
release a life. You have no Fate but the Fate you are given.
