[Joe] ALOHA

Joe is receiving the map...

[Don] Hey hey hey

Sedlack has joined the game.

Joe has received the map.

[Michael] hey all.

[Sedlack] Yo

[Michael] Sorry bout that; I had to fight the routher.

[Michael] router, rather.

[Don] Message from Sebby via astuckey: "Sebby says he'll be late to gaming -- reinstall."

[Joe] You had to fight Dan Rather?

[Don] I assume that means he's reinstalling KW.

Jeff has joined the game.

[Michael] I got the message; he's reinstalling everything.

[Michael] brb

[Sedlack] Hey, Joe, I might be interested in taking Eddie George off your hands.

[Joe] Sexcellente.

[Michael] hehe

[Don] Brb, I'm gonna buy a soda before the GAMING starts...

[Don] I am away from the keyboard.

[Joe] Reading my email, I see you're going to be gone for a few days.

[Joe] My apologies for your loss.

[Sedlack] Thanks.

James has joined the game.

[Joe] JIMMAY!

[James] Howdy Howdy Howdy

[Jeff] Can Jimmy play?

Jared has joined the game.

[James] just finishing up my 'upgrade'

[Joe] Actually, I'm going to run to the store (it's ~3 mins away) for some SODER.

[Joe] I am away from the keyboard.

[James] do you mean solder? We need some more for the lab...

[Don] I am back at the keyboard.

[Michael] No, no, he means soldiers.

[Michael] Joe's posting from occupied Iraq.

[Don] Huh, I always thought Joe was a POP guy.

[Michael] I gave up on pop cuz it's odd to say.

[Sedlack] I just found out the other day that one of my cousins has been stationed in Tikrit.

[Don] Wow, suck.

[Michael] I'm sorry, man.

[Michael] I didn't know that anywhere on the earth had highs in the 130s.

[Jared] I am away from the keyboard.

[James] Say Mike, time to roll HP?

[Michael] Yes.

[James] did you want to do it, or shall I?

[Michael] Go ahead.

[James] OK, that was silly of me, how do I just roll a d6?

[Michael] I'm gonna go get some breftast and then we'll get rolling.

[Michael] hehe.

[Michael] 5

[Michael] You win!

[James] works for me.

[Jeff] Mike and Jared are the same color

[James] thanks.

[Michael] Open bracket - 1d6 - close bracket

[Michael] Squiggly brackets

[Jeff] (1d100) [58] 58

[James] (1d6) [5] 5

Tamora has joined the game.

[James] Ah. that was easy.

[Tamora] Hello!

[Jeff] Hey

[James] Howdy

[Michael] Just got the new Evanescence CD.

[James] Praxis's hit points adjusted by 4 to 29.

[Michael] Yum.

[Michael] And that's just the cover.

[Michael] Don's playing from work; you can tell because he's chilly.

[James] ... and becuase I'm also at work, I'm hot (they turn off the AC on the weekends)

[Michael] heh.

[Don] Mostly, you can tell because I *always* play from work.

[Michael] That too.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Ditto

[Don] And I'm not so chilly because I'm the only one in the office. ;)

[Michael] Heh.

[Michael] Sebby sends his apologies but he's having technical difficulties.

[Michael] So we're waiting on Angie; Hyatt will presumably show up at some point.

[James] I'll give her a call to see what's up.

[Don] What is Hyatt's deal? Just observing?

[Michael] Absolutely.

[Jared] I am back at the keyboard.

[Jared] ok, I know I changed the color

[Jared] oh, I did. weird.

[Jared] mmm. Evanescence.

[Michael] Otherwise, there would be great suffering and gnashing of teeth as the campaign suddenly stopped in mid-awesomeness.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] brb

[Sedlack] I am away from the keyboard.

Angie has joined the game.

[Michael] Aloha!

[Jared] mike can use his powerd for good, of for awesome.

[Jared] powers. for.

[Michael] Form of -- ICE PLANET HOTH

[Jared] Note to self: type correctly.

[Michael] Ntoe to slef: typec orrectl.y

[Michael] ;)

[Michael] That's everyone; when Chris and Joe return, we'll get rolling.

[Angie] Howdy

[Joe] SODA

[Joe] I am back at the keyboard.

[Michael] http://www.blahedo.org/serendair

[Michael] For those who aren't fully caught up.

[Sedlack] I am back at the keyboard.

[Michael] Outstanding.

[Michael] Everyone please check in.

[Jeff] Here

[James] One!

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Red 5, standing by

[Joe] Check check

[Angie] Check

[Don] ahoy

[Tamora] hey

[Jared] ninja!

[Michael] Outstanding.

[Michael] Okay, as you may recall, we just finished a nice Monty Haul session.

[James] *snort*

[Michael] And now it's time to kill things.

[Angie] Yah!

[Aedean (Sedlack)] One very big thing in particular

[Michael] Go 'head.

[Michael] Sorry, nemmind.

[Michael] Over the next two days, Aedean, Obad-Haiset, and Misre en-Ehlonna go to town and get most of the Luftwelffe back on their feet.

[Michael] er, claws.

[Michael] Wings?

[Michael] Anyway.

[James] *snort*

[Michael] An aerie is established at Nailoglas, and patrols resume.

[Joe] I call James "El Snorto"

[Michael] Still an eerie silence from the orcish lines; even a couple of raids do not shed light on what is happening.

[Michael] The orcs have stepped up aerial security and pulled most of their line troops back; what's left are patrolling warbands.

[Joe] OBIt'sTooQuietJoke

[Michael] Obviously, they're putting together resources for a big push, but you haven't been able to get much information.

[Tamora] "Shall I hum, sir?"

[Michael] Some clever work with Aedean, an elven bard, and a couple of truly awesome elven rangers helps you to get a general idea of where the nightwing is hiding.

[Michael] Within 5 miles or so, you think.

[Joe] Sexcellent

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Do you mean Arkady?

[Michael] Nah, Aedean did the scrying.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Ah. Very good.

[Michael] You did some botany and geology, essentially.

[Roger (Jeff)] It's his birthday, he can scry if he wants to

[Michael] So when that bitch emerges, you'll have a sense of where to wait for it.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] testing...

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Turn Undead: Up to (1d20+5) [9+5] 14 -- 11 HD are affected. Turning damage is (2d6+13) [(5+5)+13] 23.

[Michael] Useful.

[Michael] Hm.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Wanted to make sure I levelled that expression correctly.

[Michael] test

[Michael] hunh.

[Michael] Interesting. I can't change my name, it seems, without restarting Klooge -- my default name, that is.

[Michael] At any rate.

[Michael] Meanwhile, those of you who wanted to finish up your equipment trading and suchlike do so.

[Angie] I am away from the keyboard.

[Velkyna (Joe)] I wish to purchase 490 XP.

[James] Arkady has made substantial changes to his gear, you notice.

[Michael] *laughs*

[Michael] back in 15 secs.

[Michael] ok

[Michael] On day 3, the Luftwellfe is back flying; you decide the most intelligent thing is to hover in roughly the right place while Ivellian and Asratia coordinate.

[Roger (Jeff)] Need to put in my char sheet that the ring of the ram has 35 charges...

[Michael] Luftwelffe, sorry. Typoes = unfunny puns.

[Michael] How did you want to divide up the flying chores?

[Velkyna (Joe)] What do you mean?

[Velkyna (Joe)] Who flies with who?

[Defthon (Don)] Before we take off:

[Aedean (Sedlack)] and on what.

[Michael] Right -- how are you using the carpets, is anyone borrowing a gryphon or something odd like that, et cetera.

[Michael] Go ahead, Don.

[Defthon (Don)] It would be a good idea to tie our respective range weapons to us, somehow.

[Roger (Jeff)] Wait...

[Roger (Jeff)] During the downtime Roger teaches Featherfall to Dral

[Michael] No prob

[Defthon (Don)] It'd suck to lose any of the bows and crossbows.

[Angie] I am back at the keyboard.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Also: who has the death protection scrabs still?

[James] I do

[Dralafi (Jared)] ooh, featherfall.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Yeah, Vel's going to bum some leather straps off the elves and tie up her crossbow and sword to her belt.

[Angie] I still have my death protection scarab

[Velkyna (Joe)] Vel has no anti-bodak amulet.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Aedean has three Death Wards to pass out. (He's using one himself, naturally)

[Velkyna (Joe)] Vel'

[Velkyna (Joe)] Vel's fortitude save is sufficiently high that you should probably death ward other people.

[Roger (Jeff)] (Memoing spells)

[James] Praxis would like one

[Tamora] Shottamip still has a scarab.

[Dralafi (Jared)] i do not.

[Tamora] But would rather give it to someone and get a spell, so that she can wear her other amulet.

[Tamora] Does Dralafi wear another amulet, or would he like this one?

[Dralafi (Jared)] I currently have no amulet in use.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Thanks.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Actually, though, we probably want Dral at full capacity, so giving him a spell makes sense

[Defthon (Don)] I'm tying a 5' length of rope to my bow, the other end to my belt.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] I don't follow Chris.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Yeah, we don't want nothing taking out Dral, even if it is to merely render him unconscious.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Ah. The spell is more protective than the amulets? I'd forgotten that.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] The spell just stops the effect, the scarab turns it into "unconsciousness"

[Velkyna (Joe)] Yeah.

[James] ... and 0HP

[Velkyna (Joe)] If you get bodaked with the amulet, you drop to 0 hp and unconscious.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Anyone else want my scarab, then?

[James] Praxis would take if if no one else wants it... :-)

[Velkyna (Joe)] What about Lia and Def?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Lia has a scarab

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Giving spells to Def and Dral makes a lot of sense

[Defthon (Don)] I currently have a brooch of shielding...

[Shottamip (Tamora)] All right, I'll do without the extra

[Velkyna (Joe)] What about Aric?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yes, so you can use the spell, but not the scarab

[Velkyna (Joe)] Do we know if he lost one? Or gave his away?

[Defthon (Don)] yup

[Shottamip (Tamora)] ...extra AC from my other amulet, then.

[Michael] jas

[Velkyna (Joe)] WEE JAS

[Michael] Aric does not have a thingy.

[Michael] Er.

[Michael] Lesser Scarab of Protection.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Does he otherwise have an ammy?

[Michael] Yes, an Amulet of Natural Armor.

[James] I thought he had a natural armor ammy, but don't know for sure.

[Michael] Also, a Fortitude Save which is difficult for the human mind to comprehend.

[Michael] I kid. It can be comprehended. It's just quite excellent.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Not quite Vel's, though.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] By my reckoning, if Shot holds on to her Scarab, Roger, Aric, and Vel are the candidates for the last Ward

[Velkyna (Joe)] Let Aric hold the Amulet and then Sebby can decide which one he wants to use.

Roger (Jeff) does not plan on getting that close to any big baddies

[Velkyna (Joe)] Vel fails her bodak save on a 1. Let someone else have the ward.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Sounds like Aric gets it....

[Velkyna (Joe)] Cool

[Michael] I'd forgotten about the Cloak of Resistance. Hardcore.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Mmmmmm.

[Defthon (Don)] Update from Brian: Windows is installed, downloading java and klooge

[Velkyna (Joe)] I wrap my fear around me like a blanket.

[Michael] Outstanding.

[Michael] Update from Hyatt:

[Michael]

[Michael]

[Michael]

[James] Ack, he's re-installing everything?

[Velkyna (Joe)] Heh.

[Defthon (Don)] Apparently.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Let's talk flying.

[Michael] Yes.

[Michael] I'm going to move you to a forest map with carpets.

[Dralafi (Jared)] THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE HAS TURNED TO FELT!

[Dralafi (Jared)] oh wait.

[Velkyna (Joe)] "altitude"?

[Defthon (Don)] What's the deal with "altitude"?

[Roger (Jeff)] Dude, 3d

[Defthon (Don)] Sure, but how does it work? How do we interpret the green boxes?

[Michael] THe green boxes are just so I can find the damn things.

[Michael] They'll surround a person or set of people.

[Michael] Lemme draw you some carpets.

[Velkyna (Joe)] !

[Defthon (Don)] o-ho!

[Michael] hm . . . draw is being weird. GImme a few secs to sort this out.

[Michael] ok...

[Michael] Almost done.

[Defthon (Don)] Hm, accidentally made a spell effect circle and can't delete it. sorry.

[Michael] O

[Michael] I'll see to it.

[Michael] Could everyone please zoom in on the carpets?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Done

[Michael] Can everyone see yourselves and the carpets?

[Defthon (Don)] da

[Roger (Jeff)] The carpets are a bit small

[James] yes

[Dralafi (Jared)] now it looks like we're playing and version of flight simulator. "The ground has turned into giant squares!"

[Michael] carpets are 6x9

[Defthon (Don)] how many people do we fit on a carpet?

[Michael] 500 lb. You're all friendly and you've rigged ropes around the carpets to hold onto.

[Michael] lemme check that weight.

[Dralafi (Jared)] thats, what, 3 each?

[Michael] 1200 lb.

[Michael] Much better.

[Dralafi (Jared)] ok

[Velkyna (Joe)] Are we doing this all carpet, or some griffons?

[Michael] I don't assume any of you have Ride: Griffon? ;)

[Aedean (Sedlack)] So probably up to 4 on a carpet

[Velkyna (Joe)] Well, we'd ride shotgun while some elf steers.

[James] Arkady has featherfall, so does Roger and Dral, right?

[Michael] The Luftwelffe's stretched pretty thin. If it's a big deal, they'll do it, but they'd prefer not to.

[Roger (Jeff)] yes

[Michael] There are a few extra mounts, if anyone has a godly Ride skill.

[Angie] lia has a ring of feather fall

[Velkyna (Joe)] Fair enough.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] I have my flying boots.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Vel can tumble.

[Velkyna (Joe)] A little.

[Velkyna (Joe)] That would knock 10' off the falling damage.

[James] ... which is fine for saving yourselves, but the spell can save others too.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] How long does FF last?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Ah. 1 rd/level

[James] 1 round per level

[Defthon (Don)] I assume that Ride (horse) wouldn't transfer, though

[Dralafi (Jared)] we just need to fly right next to a wall and then Aric can fall infintely far.

[James] so if we just a couple hunded feet up, no problem...

[Michael] It will count, but at -2 levels.

[Michael] We just assume that Defthon familiarized himself with the mount over the past 2 days.

[Defthon (Don)] Not that +5 should be considered "godly" in any case

[James] if we're falling, then we need to fall until we get close to the ground, and then cast.

[Michael] Right.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Heh. Vel has no ranks in Ride, but she still gets a +8.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Untrained.

[Michael] ah, -5 if it's something really odd like a gryphon.

[Angie] lia has ridden a griffon before, but with it's rider

[Defthon (Don)] Sorry, +6, misread

[Defthon (Don)] so, total of +1. Not fantastic.

[Michael] Right.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] In other words, Aedean might be best served to just go Ethereal if he starts falling, and then "run" to the ground on the Ethereal Plane

[Michael] Does anyone have Mounted Archery?

[Velkyna (Joe)] Negatory.

[Dralafi (Jared)] oh, like we wasted a feat on that.

[Michael] Then the gryphon thing's pretty much a wash for (hehe) anyone who's not a spellcaster.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Okay then. Carpets it is.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Ready that Dispel Magic.

[Lia (Angie)] Do we want to use gryphon to draw the nightflyer out?

[Michael] The theory is that now that the Luftwelffe's operating, it's only a matter of time.

[James] check. SOP for the new ioun stone Arkady has: 1 dispel magic, 1 GMW

[Lia (Angie)] But we need it to be out where we are

[Michael] Nailo's got some pretty sensitive feelers out. You'll get a little warning.

[Lia (Angie)] OK

[Aedean (Sedlack)] And we have the general location narrowed down.

[Michael] Right -- you don't expect it'll waste a lot of time flying over orc territory; it'll fly straight for the elf lands and start laying waste.

[Defthon (Don)] As I think about the gryphon thing more, I'm guessing the elves strap themselves to their saddle, yes?

[Michael] Depends.

[Defthon (Don)] As long as the mount isn't doing a "double move", there's no penalty for shooting while mounted.

[Michael] The really really good ones don't -- but they definitely are special saddles which are more holding-oriented than horse saddles.

[Defthon (Don)] If straps exist, I could use them, and then I needn't worry about falling from a failed Ride check.

[Defthon (Don)] p. 138, by the way, if anyone's interested.

[Michael] Okay, the rules say you need a Ride (5) check to use weapons without penalties.

[Michael] For a horse.

[Defthon (Don)] That's for an untrained horse, no?

[Michael] Nope -- untrained is Ride (20) and only partials.

[Defthon (Don)] Oops, right.

[Michael] If you'd like to have 1-2 escorts, that's doable.

Client has joined the game.

[Michael] Just that it's not the elves' favorite plan. They'd rather have them patrolling or resting.

[Michael] Welcome!

[Velkyna (Joe)] SEBBAY!

[Michael] I'm Michael, the Game Master.

[Michael] Ah, it's Brian. Excellente.

[Michael] We have a guest possibly stopping by.

[Defthon (Don)] SEBBY!

[Michael] We're arrainging ourselves for the nightflyer battle.

[Michael] Let's rock.

[Brian] hey guys. sorry about that.

[Brian] stupid hard drive

[Aedean (Sedlack)] No biggie

[Velkyna (Joe)] S'cool. Stuff happens.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Dibs this carpet.

[Defthon (Don)] Vel might want to try gryphonback...

[Brian] hey don, do you have a transcript i can read real quick?

[Velkyna (Joe)] I'm okay with that too.

[Defthon (Don)] if her Ride is +8, -5 for gryphons, that's net +3

[Michael] Right.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Right.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] After all, Vel has the DeXXX

[Defthon (Don)] and you only need a DC of 5 to shoot

[Defthon (Don)] http://www.blahedo.org/serendair/

[Velkyna (Joe)] She's DEXCELLENT

[Michael] SO she's in pretty good shape if she doesn't get wacky. It's an interesting idea.

[Defthon (Don)] I'd just like to have ourselves spread out a leeeetle bit more than two groups on carpets.

[Michael] heh.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Understood. I'd get on a gryphon, but then I'm asking to fall off.

[Defthon (Don)] With a net +1 myself, I'm still considering it.

[Defthon (Don)] That's why I asked about the saddle straps.

[James] I claim the right one.

[Michael] How long does Inspire Competence count?

[Michael] last, rather?

[James] 5 rounds after he stops singing (or playing)

[Velkyna (Joe)] As long as he's playing, +N rounds

[Michael] Noted, thnx.

[James] So, on the ride up, Arkady will be playing continuously.

[Michael] hehe

[James] Unless we're trying to be sneaky

[Michael] And she's riiiiding a staiiiirway . . . to heaven . . .

[Velkyna (Joe)] He's a

[James] testing...

[Velkyna (Joe)] JUKE

[Velkyna (Joe)] BOX

[Velkyna (Joe)] HERE

[Velkyna (Joe)] (HERO)

[James] Arkady: Attack 1: rapier [r] hits AC: ((d20+9)) [(4+9)] 13

[James] Arkady: diplomacy: (d20+18) [19+18] 37

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Umm, guys...the +5 rounds thing is "Inspire Courage", not "Inspire Competence"

[James] Arkady: slow: (DC=(10++5+3) [10+5+3] 18) subjects are slowed, (will negates)

[James] Oh, that's what I think they meant anyway.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Competence lasts as long as the bard keeps sing, and the bard can keep it up for 2 minutes

[James] Unless someone really wants +2 to some skill check...

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I assume we were thinking of the "Ride" skil

[Michael] I was thinking in terms of the Ride checks.

[Michael] But that's useful info, too.

[Michael] (hence my "Stairway" reference)

[James] Ah.

Joe has left the game.

[Michael] SHIDLE DOWN.

[Dralafi (Jared)] MAN DOWN!

[Michael] Okay, you all make your decisions in the next few mins so we can get rolling.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I'll go on the sinister carpet

[Michael] *laughs*

[Aric (Brian)] er, could someone transcript me so i know what's going on?

[Michael] www.blahedo.org/serendair

[Aric (Brian)] don's page doesnn't have a link to today's game

[Michael] !

[Aedean (Sedlack)] We're getting on the carpets to go kick nightflyer ass.

[Michael] Pretty much.

[Michael] Also, I think I'm pretty funny.

[Aric (Brian)] ok

[Michael] Did I miss anything?

[Aric (Brian)] if there's a gryphon ride check of -5, that puts me at 0

[Defthon (Don)] Sorry, thought I messaged you with it. http://www.blahedo.org/serendair/transcript-030824-1.html

[Aric (Brian)] so i'm guessing i shouldn't ride it

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Of interest to you is the fact that Aric will have a Death Ward on him.

[Aric (Brian)] ok

[Aric (Brian)] if i put that on i lose +1 AC

[Michael] oh my.

[Aric (Brian)] cause i already have an amulet of natural armor

[Michael] *laughs out loud*

[Aedean (Sedlack)] The spell, not the Scarab

[Aric (Brian)] oh

[Michael] The -5 only affects skill ranks.

[Aric (Brian)] don mentioned i was getting a scarab on titan

[Michael] if you go down to 0, you don't lose anymore.

[Michael] Vel's a Ride machine!

[Defthon (Don)] Here's the thing about Ride. -5 because of gryphons. Total DC of the Ride check is 5. If you fail, that means you don't shoot that round, afaict.

[Defthon (Don)] Vel definitely needs to be on a gryphon then.

[Michael] Vel Rides at +8

[Michael] (Vel likes the horsies)

[Dralafi (Jared)] rides for everyone!

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I'll still take a carpet. :)

[James] Carpet for Arkady too.

[Defthon (Don)] That puts me at +2... a 15% chance of failure on a given Ride roll.

[Michael] Joe's down hard, apparently.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Im at +6, so I should prolly ride then.

[Michael] Not on Imsanet.

[Defthon (Don)] And that would spread the party out more... I'm thinking I'll go with it.

[Defthon (Don)] Actually, what was the Inspire thing y'all were talking about earlier?

[Praxis (James)] I'll ride too, my wings are a bit tired.

[Defthon (Don)] +2 to skill checks?

[Michael] Inspire Competence. It's under the Bard section in the PH.

Joe has joined the game.

[Praxis (James)] That doesn't last longh enough though.

[Michael] Welcome back!

[Joe] Weel, shit.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] ?

[Michael] You need to head out?

[Joe] No. My computer crashed,

[Michael] ok

[Joe] I think my FATs fucked up.

[Michael] suxx0r.

[Joe] Yeah.

[Dralafi (Jared)] stupid fat.

[Joe] So if I dip in and out, well, move along.

[Michael] Well, here's hoping we can nurse it through.

[Michael] Don, hit Joe with some transcriptage.

[Praxis (James)] Time to run Linux. I can make Gentoo 1.4 CDs for you...

[Joe] Yah. Don't make me save anything to disk.

[Defthon (Don)] Looks like Inspire Courage doesn't affect random skills.

[Joe] I may take you up on that.

[Michael] Hah! Someone besides me messed up the "talk as"! I am validated.

[Michael] Okay, we decided that Vel should like a horsey^H^H^H^H^H^Hgryphon.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] "Inspire Competence" is in the right-hand co,lumn (3 ed)

[Defthon (Don)] http://www.blahedo.org/serendair/transcript-030824-2.html

[Michael] Cuz she's at +8 The -5 only kills skill ranks, not total results.

[Defthon (Don)] Ah, got it

[Aric (Brian)] a gryphon's just a horsey with wings

[Aric (Brian)] and and eagle's head

[Michael] And a beak.

[Michael] And, um, claws.

[Praxis (James)] inspire competence does, but doesn't last long enough

[Michael] And a lion ass.

[Aric (Brian)] other than that they're the same!

[Praxis (James)] LOL

[Velkyna (Joe)] And I love horsies!

[Michael] Exactly!

[Defthon (Don)] Mike, is the Ride check once per round or once per combat?

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna: Ride: ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** (d20+7+1) [16+7+1] 24

[Michael] Per round you try to do something clever.

[Velkyna (Joe)] That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

[Michael] Why are your skills +1, Joe?

[Velkyna (Joe)] Luckstone.

[Michael] thanx

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Aedean is going to cast Endurance on Roger, to improve his Fort save, and give him some damn HP.

[Michael] Okay, gryphon for Vel.

[Praxis (James)] OK, so let's get things sorted out. People going on carpets, get on a carpet

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Roll #1: (d4+1) [3+1] 4

[Velkyna (Joe)] Vel is not on a carpet because she gets a horsie.

[Defthon (Don)] To be clear: carpets can be dispelled, and gryphons can be shot down. Right?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Score!

[Michael] Yes.

[Defthon (Don)] So either way, you could fall. Ok, I think I'll take a gryphon.

[Michael] Carpets can also be torched, and gryphons can be blinded and lots of people have bad days.

[Velkyna (Joe)] I tumble.

[Michael] I actually don't recommend that.

[Defthon (Don)] Ok?

[Dralafi (Jared)] what about me? can I ride a horsie boss?

[Defthon (Don)] Why?

[Michael] I think the guys with the bows should be on the carpets.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Spell set up time, anyone need mage armor?

[Michael] Stabler firing platforms.

[Praxis (James)] Is Vel going to ride a dead gryphon?

[Defthon (Don)] Hm, true.

[Michael] That's all.

[Dralafi (Jared)] if you say so.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Oooh, GMW! GMW!

[Velkyna (Joe)] GMW me baby

[Arkady (James)] OK, 2x GMW arrows, 1x GMW xbow bolts

[Michael] Maybe put one of you on the Gryphon with Vel. Vel's a light lassie.

[Velkyna (Joe)] SWEET

[Lia (Angie)] Dral: do you want to risk losing a round of combat?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Jeff, give Roger 4 CON.

[Michael] That gives you more tactical options.

[Roger (Jeff)] okay

[Velkyna (Joe)] Um, +4 Con.

[Defthon (Don)] Reminder: if you have a ranged weapon, tie it to yourself, I'd hate to lose them on a crit miss....

[Velkyna (Joe)] Not 4 Con.

[Michael] I'm assuming that everyone has taken sensible precautions.

[Velkyna (Joe)] As stated earlier, Vel has procured strappage.

[Michael] You're all 10th level-ish. This stuff occurs to you.

[Arkady (James)] GMW arrows: Dral 50, Lia 20, Defthon 20, Arkady 10

[Velkyna (Joe)] It doesn't hurt to be explicit.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Dragon Scales: provides the target with a +4 armor bonus to AC for the next 11 hours

[Aric (Brian)] so i'm guessing i should be on a carpet?

[Arkady (James)] GMW crossbow bolts: Vel 25, Roger 10, Aric 15

[Jeff] Roger's hit points adjusted by 18 to 51.

[Aric (Brian)] also, did i get any of those GMW'd bolts/

[Aric (Brian)] nevermind

[Michael] ok, carpets and gryphons.

[Dralafi (Jared)] so, should I ride with vel then? I can FF for both of us if the gryphon gets dropped

[Michael] weapons will take partial actions to ready.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Jeff: adjust your Fort save, also

[Dralafi (Jared)] or one of the spellcasters

[Michael] That's quite sensible.

[Michael] Dral + Vel = a pretty good idea.

[Arkady (James)] Um, all the FF people are on the right carpet...

[Arkady (James)] the peopel who can cast FF that is.

[Arkady (James)] OK, better

[Michael] I assume Pilagro and Shottamip's familiar are in their usual stored places.

[Michael] Where is lome: surinen, Jared?

[Defthon (Don)] So the FF folks are Dral, Arkady, and Roger, right?

[Dralafi (Jared)] flying overwatch

[Arkady (James)] yes

[Michael] Roger that. Remember that when I ask for spot checks.

[Dralafi (Jared)] ok

[Michael] I'm going to move us to the middle of the map, more or less.

[Dralafi (Jared)] You forgot the carpets. we all fall and die.

[Defthon (Don)] Preferably with our carpets. ;)

[Lia (Angie)] OOC:LOL

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Summon Animal: summons a level 4 animal to assist her

[Arkady (James)] I cast 'message' on everybody, so we don't have to shout.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] brb

[Sedlack] I am away from the keyboard.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dire badger!

[Shottamip (Tamora)] I picked up a flying eagle for the night. More targets.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Michael says he's having Klooge issues and will be back soon.

[Arkady (James)] Dire Vole.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] GIANT flying eagle, that is.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Celestial weevil.

[Michael] okay, Klooge is having iusses

[Arkady (James)] Oh, so we could ride that too I guess.

[Aric (Brian)] Demonic Ladybug.

[Michael] It's time for a restart.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Kay.

[Michael] Log off, please?

Joe has left the game.

Jeff has left the game.

[Michael] Log on in like 30 secs.

Tamora has left the game.

Angie has left the game.

Jared has left the game.

Brian has left the game.

James has left the game.

chilly.cs.brown.edu has joined the game.

Sedlack has joined the game.

Tamora has joined the game.

[GM] and here we are.

[Sedlack] Indeed

12-225-172-195.client.attbi.com has joined the game.

[Defthon (Don)] Ooh, look who's got a title now...

[Dralafi (Jared)] thats funny

[Defthon (Don)] *Interesting*---even through the disconnect/reconnect, it preserved my "chat as".

Angie has joined the game.

James has joined the game.

Joe has joined the game.

[Sedlack] I quit klooge and restarted, so mine went away

[Velkyna (Joe)] Everything okay?

Joe is receiving the map...

c-67-167-193-223.client.comcast.net has joined the game.

[Sedlack] At any rate, I think the "Chat as", like text color is stored on the client.

Joe has received the map.

[Defthon (Don)] Sure, but the characters, maps, and everything went away.

[Defthon (Don)] I guess the "chat as" is really just a string, not a reference to the character.

[Sedlack] Yeah, 'cause that's all stored on the master

[GM] right.

[GM] I figured this'd be more straightforward. I just feel weird being "Master."

[Aric (Brian)] yesss massssterrrr

[GM] And the problem I was having is cleared up.

[Dralafi (Jared)] map me

[Defthon (Don)] hee

[GM] I"m gonna be "Mr. Kimmitt" starting Tuesday anyway. Wild.

[Defthon (Don)] Oh right---what are you TAing?

[GM] I'm actually lecturing.

[Defthon (Don)] SWEET.

[GM] Econ 130, Principles of Microeconomics.

[GM] Yeah, I'm excited and terrified.

[GM] 90 students.

[Defthon (Don)] WOO!

[James] wow

[GM] Huge auditorium.

[Aric (Brian)] awesome

[GM] None of them will ever participate under any circumstances.

[Lia (Angie)] Cool

[GM] I'm going to have to bring a Masterwork Whip to class or something.

[Aric (Brian)] what are the big green boxes around us for?

[Dralafi (Jared)] you should talk to rose about that. she can teach you to loathe them with every fiber of your being in about 10 minutes.

[GM] They will have altitude information.

[GM] See, that's not gonna do it for me. :)

[GM] Okay, what should cruising altitude be?

[Aric (Brian)] 30,000 ft? :)

[Dralafi (Jared)] seems to work pretty well for her. ;)

[Defthon (Don)] Just over the trees, I think. 100 feet? 150?

[Velkyna (Joe)] I'd think 50-60 feet about the treeline.

[Aric (Brian)] hates her students, hates the DB...does she like anything? :)

[GM] Jared.

[GM] Rose likes Jared.

[Velkyna (Joe)] That's a plus.

[Defthon (Don)] Well, that's good.

[James] more than 400 or so will get exciting

[GM] Do you want to be at different heights? How far does Message function?

[James] feet that is

[James] 200 feet range on message

[Sedlack] 200-300' seems reasonable to start with. In the end, the 'flyer will dictate altitude anyway

[Defthon (Don)] What's our GMW situation?

[GM] How far is your empathic link with Lome, Jared?

Brian has left the game.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Uh oh

[Velkyna (Joe)] GMW is: 50 arrows to Dral, 20 to Def, 20 Lia, 10 Arkady.

[James] GMW arrows: Lia 20, Defthon 20, Dral 50, Arkady 10

[Defthon (Don)] Ok.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Bolts are 25 to Vel, 15 to Aric, 10 to Roger.

[GM] SEBBY DOWN

Brian has joined the game.

[GM] SEBBY UP

[Brian] um, whoops

[Shottamip (Tamora)] And I will stay busy hasting everyone and providing support.

[GM] ok

[Brian] closed a window that i had fogtten was the bat file that had launched KW. when i closed it, klooge went with.

[Sedlack] Ah.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Also, if the nightflyer has companions this time, they might not be so impervious to magical damage.

[Dralafi (Jared)] empathic link is 1 mile. Should be all good.

[Sedlack] Yep. Aedean is basically in the same boat as Shottamip

[GM] ok

[Velkyna (Joe)] Oooh. If Vel is hasted, she can shoot twice per round.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Sexcellent. AND Dexcellent.

[Dralafi (Jared)] If dral is hasted he can shoot four times per round...

[Defthon (Don)] Those GMW arrows are +3, right?

[Sedlack] Aedean's hit points adjusted by 9 to 77.

[James] yes

[Velkyna (Joe)] Well, yeah. But I've got the xbow overhead.

[GM] Jared, I need you to put together a char sheet for Lome.

[James] Arkady's hit points adjusted by 7 to 58.

[GM] Between your turns.

[Velkyna (Joe)] I was lacking the long term vision.

[Sedlack] Arkady's hit points adjusted by 7 to 58.

[GM] Is this more or less the deal?

[James] I'm fine

[Velkyna (Joe)] Do we have a griffon rider (elf) or is it just Dral and Vel?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Seems reasonable. But the gryophon riders should probably be on the two flanks

[Defthon (Don)] AH, I get what the green boxes are for now.

[Defthon (Don)] Cooool.

[GM] Yeah, I'm the king of no pants.

[Dralafi (Jared)] gm: ok. where does one find the stats for a normal eagle?

[GM] Monster Manual -- Animals.

[Defthon (Don)] www.opengamingfoundation.org

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Again, either Vel or Dral should be on the other side

[GM] p 195 or so

[GM] vel and dral are sharing a gryphon

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Really?

[GM] makes life easier for the guy firing. Vel steers, dral fires.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] OK, I was confused

[Defthon (Don)] Vel can probably fire off the occasional round herself.

[GM] also true.

[Defthon (Don)] What with her guaranteed Ride check and all.

[GM] heh.

[GM] Okay, is this more or less the plan?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Looks good

[Defthon (Don)] works for me

[Asratia] Arkady, Nailo says the nightflyer is on the move.

[Lia (Angie)] Sure

[James] Let's go people!

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Let's roll

[Brian] oh, as a note, in my infinite foreplanning, my PHB is in a box from moving, i'll be unpacking here as we play, but i dunno which box it's in

[Velkyna (Joe)] Heh

[Arkady (James)] Helm! Plot an intercept course!

[Dralafi (Jared)] Nine PCs and one dead ray. We begetting down with no delay. Gamemaster Mike, whatcha gots to say?

[Defthon (Don)] Again, www.opengamingfoundation.org

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I think we have enough copies that we can answer any Q's pretty quickly

[GM] You fly toward the location which Nailo and Asratia point you toward.

[Brian] just saying

[GM] Lemme rephrase that.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] "3dpenalties.exe" is up and running

[Nightwing] You're all gonna die today.

[GM] here for ya, Jared.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Mmmm. Bring it.

[Brian] OOC: You don't have Batman to protect you now.

[GM] What's a good spot distance for a black thing at night?

[Joe] Velkyna targets Nightwing. Distance: 196'00"

[Defthon (Don)] OOC Nightwings use words like "gonna"?

[GM] They do when they're rapping.

[Defthon (Don)] Righto.

[Brian] word

[Defthon (Don)] Depends, is the moon out?

[GM] 2

[GM] waxing

[Velkyna (Joe)] Word to your moms I came to drop bombs

[GM] (I rolled randomly)

[GM] I gots more rhymes than the bible's got psalms.

[GM] Best two lines ever.

[James] You guys sound like Sushi K.

[Defthon (Don)] Maybe about 150 ft at DC 10 for casual spot check

[Dralafi (Jared)] no, I'm pretty sure the best are 'Flame on! I'm gone! I'm so sweet like a nice bon-bon!'

[Defthon (Don)] But we're all looking for it, so it'd be a bit easier

[GM] 26

[Defthon (Don)] I assume it's totally black, btw?

Brian has left the game.

Brian has joined the game.

[James] Sebby down!

[Velkyna (Joe)] SEBBY DOWN

[Defthon (Don)] DAMN those batch file windows!

[Velkyna (Joe)] SEBBY BACK

[James] Sebby up!

[Brian] sorry...looks like hit the disconnect. i'll try to stop being an idiot.

[Velkyna (Joe)] I love how the disconnect is right next to the sleep.

[Brian] what i was trying to type (dunno if i had the wrong window highlighted) was a quick Q

[GM] Okay, spot checks for Lome. These are gonna be huge, so don't bother if you're, um, clueless.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Brb ... ERNK

[GM] Spot checks for everyone including Lome, sorry.

[Brian] does GMW arrow give +3 to hit as /well/ as +3 to damage?

[Roger (Jeff)] Roger: Spot (Within a mile of Pilagro): (d20+12) [6+12] 18

[GM] yes

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna: Spot: ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** (d20+10+1) [13+10+1] 24

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Spot: (d20+16) [16+16] 32

[Brian] Aric: Spot: ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** (d20+6+1) [8+6+1] 15

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Aedean: Spot: (d20+6+8) [7+6+8] 21

[GM] ???: Spot: 6

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Spot: (d20+3+2+1) [17+3+2+1] 23

[James] Arkady: spot: (d20+3) [13+3] 16

[James] Praxis: Spot: (d20+5) [8+5] 13

[Brian] i suspect lia is spotting the hell out of it

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Spot: (d20+6) [4+6] 10

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Spot: (d20+8) [20+8] 28

[Dralafi (Jared)] lome gets +6 on spot if the gm wants to roll it

[GM] Do.

[GM] ok i will.

[GM] sorry.

[Dralafi (Jared)] either way

[GM] 18

[GM] ok

[James] BTW, I was doing inspire courage on everyone. Give yourselves +1 to hit and damage

[GM] Lia squints into the darkness . . . she sees a flickering along the underside of a cloud . . . 260 feet, north northwest.

[Lia (Angie)] Lia relays this information

[GM] Shottamip's gaze tracks from the other carpet. She sees it too!

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Okay, as soon as I get initiative I have things to do.

[GM] Initiative.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Aedean: Initiative: (d20-1) [1-1] 0

[Roger (Jeff)] Roger: Initiative: (d20+4) [16+4] 20

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna: Initiative: (d20+7) [1+7] 8

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Initiative: (d20+6) [20+6] 26

[Arkady (James)] Praxis: Initiative: (d20+0) [19+0] 19

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Initiative: (d20+2) [8+2] 10

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Initiative: (d20+3) [8+3] 11

[Arkady (James)] Arkady: Initiative: (d20+3) [3+3] 6

[Brian] Aric: Initiative: (d20+4) [16+4] 20

[Velkyna (Joe)] HOLY CRAP

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Woo! ZERO!

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Initiative: (d20+6) [18+6] 24

[Defthon (Don)] Wow, Chris.

[GM] Nightwing: Initiative: 18

[Velkyna (Joe)] Is steering, guiding, or otherwise moving the mount an action? How does that work?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I'd rather roll a 1 for initiative than anything else

[Velkyna (Joe)] True. Very true.

[GM] Give me a Ride (5) check, at which point you can do a normal move on the mount without difficulty.

[GM] If you want to get fancy, I start demanding higher numbers.

[Velkyna (Joe)] So that would be just like I moved as a character?

[Velkyna (Joe)] I.e. MEA and stuff?

[GM] Right.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Except you use the steed's move.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Gotcha.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] er, "speed"

[Arkady (James)] I'd advise keeping our range open. Don't let it close.

[GM] gryphon's speed is 80 ft.

[Velkyna (Joe)] I'll move the griffon and Dral can be all shooty, all the time.

[GM] Who is steering each carpet?

[Arkady (James)] Maybe just fly perpendicular to its course.

[GM] The carpets will move on their inits, for simplicity's sake.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I can steer the left carpet, since I'm not shooting things

[Roger (Jeff)] Test: (d20+9) [4+9] 13

[Arkady (James)] I can steer the right one.

[Defthon (Don)] Arkady can probably steer ours while singing, right?

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Perpendicular, as in straight towards?

[Defthon (Don)] :)

[Velkyna (Joe)] Did we determine that the -5 for griffons was to the base skill, or the check as a whole?

[Arkady (James)] I hope you were joking Tammy...

[GM] ok, Lia, you're up. No movement, you're at quite a range.

[GM] VEl -- base skill. Vel is unaffected.

[Velkyna (Joe)] SWEET

[Arkady (James)] Should only be -6 to hit at this range.

[GM] We'll RP how Vel got to know the Gryphons over the past 3 days alter.

[GM] later, rather.

[GM] Chris, gimme an altitude difference thingy.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Oh, I'll write that up in the journal of course.

[GM] It's dark, gimme a sec.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Range Increment?

[Arkady (James)] for most bows it is 110 feet.

[Angie] Roger targets Nightwing. Distance: 263'11"

[Velkyna (Joe)] Composite longs, that is.

[Arkady (James)] yes, right.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Our light xbows have 80.

[GM] That's gonna be 1/4 concealment for at least a little while.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] It's 50 feetup from the carpet, right?

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Oh, if its course is towards *us* -- I was assuming it was flying in a random line for the moment.

[GM] When we get closer, that concealment will drop off.

[Angie] Roger no longer targets Nightwing.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] -4

[GM] Heh.

[Angie] Lia targets Nightwing. Distance: 264'08"

[Joe] Velkyna targets Nightwing. Distance: 233'04"

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Still -4.

[GM] thanks, Chris.

[Jared] Dralafi targets Nightwing. Distance: 238'06"

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 1: * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+15)) [(9+15)] 24

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 24 misses Nightwing

[Velkyna (Joe)] Don't forget your +1s to hit and damage from Arkady.

[Don] Defthon targets Nightwing. Distance: 279'04"

[GM] hm.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yeah, but I think the minuses from distance aren't in there

[Brian] Aric targets Nightwing. Distance: 278'08"

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 2: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+10+1)) [(2+10+1)] 13

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 13 misses Nightwing

[Velkyna (Joe)] Just sayin'.

[GM] Klooge is having issues again. Attempting a workaround.

[Jeff] Roger targets Nightwing. Distance: 263'11"

[Aedean (Sedlack)] While Kimmitt's thinking...

[Aedean (Sedlack)] What are the range increments on everyone's weapons?

[GM] Workaround implemented.

[Velkyna (Joe)] 80

[Lia (Angie)] One more with haste from boots

[Roger (Jeff)] 80

[Dralafi (Jared)] 110

[GM] Go get 'em, Lia.

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+15+1)) [(18+15+1)] 34

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 34 (probably) hits Nightwing

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Damage 2: ** MODIFIED BY: DAMAGE (+1) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] does ((1d8+8+1)) [(5+8+1)] 14 points of damage.

[GM] wtf?

[Shottamip (Tamora)] 150 ft range on my Haste spell. Anyone who gets further away from me than that loses the chance to get speedy.

[GM] I'm getting a weird bug . . . I'll track it down later.

[Velkyna (Joe)] I want to make Speedy Gonzalez look like Regular Gonzalez.

[Arkady (James)] don't forget concealment, yes?

[Dralafi (Jared)] we aren't moving until late in the order, so just hit me first ;)

[Nightwing] oops.

[GM] wild.

[GM] anyway.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yes! The Nightwing forgot something!

[Dralafi (Jared)] ooc: THE NIGHTWING IS STILL RAPPIN.

[GM] 58

[GM] concealment is not an issue.

[Nightwing] horrifying screech

[Nightwing] Dral

[GM] Dammit

[GM] Dral, you're up.

[Aric (Brian)] OOC: indeed, but saved by the bell is off the air

[Dralafi (Jared)] I cast shield on myself.

[GM] Giant Eagle: Initiative: 4

[Aedean (Sedlack)] -4 for Dral, if he stays where he is

[Dralafi (Jared)] and sit still.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Nemmind

[GM] ok

[GM] Roger.

[Roger (Jeff)] Roger will be rash and fire a bolt

[GM] Nightwing: Damage: ** MODIFIED BY: DAMAGE (+2) ** Bite does 19 points of damage.

[GM] please ignore that.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Nyah!

[GM] fire.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Horizontal distance?

[James] Arkady targets Nightwing. Distance: 274'10"

[Roger (Jeff)] 272'

[Aedean (Sedlack)] -6

[Roger (Jeff)] (d20+9-6) [6+9-6] 9

[GM] That's gonna be a miss.

[GM] Would you like to spend a partial action reloading?

[Roger (Jeff)] sure

[GM] ok

[GM] Aric.

[Aric (Brian)] I'm going to hold until Arkady gets us closer.

[GM] (Lome, listen check)

[GM] ok

[Arkady (James)] Who said anything about getting closer?

[GM] Praxis

[GM] anything?

[Aric (Brian)] I can't hit it from this distance.

[Arkady (James)] Aric: Listen: ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** (d20+9+1) [11+9+1] 21

[GM] er.

[Aric (Brian)] um

[Velkyna (Joe)] Heh

[Velkyna (Joe)] TOO CLOSE TOGETHER

[Arkady (James)] Praxis: Listen: (d20+16) [9+16] 25

[GM] Ok.

[Arkady (James)] sorry.

[GM] But I still need one from Lone.

[GM] Lome, rather.

[GM] It's Praxis's turn, is what I meant to say. What is he doing?

[Arkady (James)] He's just haning out to see what happens, and watch our backs.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Lome: (d20+6) [2+6] 8

[Praxis (James)] I'm not the charge in with crossbows blazing kind of guy.

[Nightwing] It is them, my master.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Nrrrrgh

[Dralafi (Jared)] I knew I shoulda taken the cotton out his ears.

[Lia (Angie)] Damn

[Praxis (James)] Ruh Roh!

[Velkyna (Joe)] IT'S A TRAP!

Nightwing casts Haste

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Here Come Da Judge

[Dralafi (Jared)] ooc: ABORT! ABORT!

[Aric (Brian)] STAY ON TARGET

[Velkyna (Joe)] COME CLOSER BARON

[Velkyna (Joe)] CLOSER

[Velkyna (Joe)] CLOOOOOOOSER

[Praxis (James)] The tooth!, remeber the tooth!

[Nightwing] Chris, what's the actual range there?

[GM] pfeh

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Range where?

[GM] From the Nightwing to Dral.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] We're kind of spread out

[Velkyna (Joe)] 260ish to Dral

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I measure about 239'

[GM] Right, but we're getting all pythagorean up in here.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Up in here.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Oh shit.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Up in here.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Oh. My badd. For ray-like effects. jas

[Dralafi (Jared)] Vel: EVASIVE ACTION.

[Velkyna (Joe)] PULL UP PULL UP PULL UP

[Aedean (Sedlack)] About 244'

[GM] Thanks.

[Nightwing] Dispel Magic Check: 24

[Velkyna (Joe)] ?

[Dralafi (Jared)] ooc: I've got a quickie char sheet for Lom‘. how should I get it to you?

[Defthon (Don)] Eek.

[GM] 3

[Velkyna (Joe)] Antici

[GM] What's the most powerful spell effect currently on Dral?

[Velkyna (Joe)] pation.

[Velkyna (Joe)] SHIELD

[Dralafi (Jared)] me personally?

[Praxis (James)] lvl 10 for GMW

[GM] Jared -- email it to kimmitt23@hotmail.com

[Dralafi (Jared)] shield

[GM] Death Ward

[GM] ?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Well, there's the Death Ward

[Dralafi (Jared)] oh yeah. death ward

[Velkyna (Joe)] Oh yeah.

[GM] That's gone.

[Dralafi (Jared)] oh well. didn't need it to kill its brother

[Praxis (James)] caster leve, Aedean is still 10th level, right?

[Velkyna (Joe)] That's not 'happy to see me', is it?

[GM] Right.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Perhaps Dral forgot the Finger of Death.

[GM] ok i'm looking up flight rules

[Dralafi (Jared)] I totally clenched and staged down the finger of death.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Good. Then blow your 1.4 million gp on hats for Vel.

[Dralafi (Jared)] that comes after.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Excellent.

[GM] Hm.

[GM] I'm trying to figure out if the Nightwing is required to coast or not.

[GM] Thoughts?

[Defthon (Don)] "coast"? What do you mean?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Where are the relevant rules?

[Velkyna (Joe)] I believe the Nightwing is required to toast. Itself.

[Praxis (James)] I'd assume a critter that can naturally fly could keep on the same heading without conscious effort.

[GM] p 69, and they're terrible.

[GM] Right, I'm thinking that it'd have to, unless it worked at it.

[Praxis (James)] But if it wanted to change direction, that would be move-equivalent.

[GM] I'm thinking you're right.

[GM] Shottamip, you're up.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Did the nightwing move?

[Praxis (James)] What's the movement on the carpets, 120' per round?

[GM] Yes.

[Jeff] I am away from the keyboard.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Haste: gives the target an extra partial action and a +4 haste bonus to AC for the next 11 rounds

[Defthon (Don)] That's on Dral?

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Oooh, I forgot about the AC bonus. Yummy.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] That's on *me*.

[Velkyna (Joe)] I'd think she'd haste herself, THEN Dral.

[Defthon (Don)] Oh, right.

[Defthon (Don)] :)

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Then I get to cast another one.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Dral, try not to get killed before you can use this, okay?

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Haste: gives the target an extra partial action and a +4 haste bonus to AC for the next 11 rounds

[Velkyna (Joe)] He should get to go at least once.

[Arkady (James)] Because, really, not wasting the haste is the most important thing. :-)

[Dralafi (Jared)] I promise to do my utter best to not die.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Exactly.

[GM] defthon

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Could not lock character sheet to set temporary modifiers. Locked by Jared

[Jeff] I am back at the keyboard.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Wrong 'Em Boyo

[Angie] I am away from the keyboard.

[Dralafi (Jared)] getting them myself. thanks.

[Defthon (Don)] Not much for me to do, really... Arkady, how much longer of your Inspire Courage do we get?

[Arkady (James)] I'm still going.

[GM] lome should be good at this time.

[Arkady (James)] Haven't decided if there are any spells that need to be cast.

[Aric (Brian)] just got a charsheet IO exception. anyone else?

[Shottamip (Tamora)] yes

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Phew. Got some exdceptions, but didn't crash

[Arkady (James)] Yes, me too.

[Defthon (Don)] Yup, two of 'em.

[GM] Arkady is after Vel.

[GM] It's Defthon right now.

[Angie] I am back at the keyboard.

[GM] Then Vel, then Arkady.

[Defthon (Don)] I'm going to hold my move to get a higher init next round. I need to be closer to do anything.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] I'm just wondering, Jared, what all are you doing to get 12 temp AC?

[GM] refocus, you mean?

[Arkady (James)] Why not just shoot now?

[Defthon (Don)] Except Bless, but Arkady's still going on the Inspire Courage, so that'd be redundant.

[GM] take your shot, man.

[Defthon (Don)] Well, ok.

[GM] You're no Dralafi, but you get by.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] The range minuses are only like -4 or -6

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** longbow/GMW arrow [b] hits AC: ((d20+9+2+4+1)) [(1+9+2+4+1)] 17 [CRITICAL MISS]

[Arkady (James)] You still might roll a 20.

[GM] ignore the crit miss.

[Arkady (James)] ow.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Good to get that out of the way.

[Defthon (Don)] marvelous.

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Attack 2: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** longbow/GMW arrow [b] hits AC: ((d20+4+2+4+1)) [(2+4+2+4+1)] 13

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon's attack of 13 misses Nightwing

[GM] ok

[GM] Vel

[Defthon (Don)] Oy gevalt. A 1, then a 2. Sheesh.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] What is Def firing anyway?

[Arkady (James)] GMW arrows

[GM] A blunderbuss, apparently.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Ride check automatically succeeds.

[GM] yes.

[Dralafi (Jared)] shottamip: dodge (+1) + shield (+7) + haste (+4)

[Velkyna (Joe)] MEA to guide the griffon 80' closer.

[Arkady (James)] A blunderbuss would have hit though.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Nifty.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Std. action to fire.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Free action to reload.

[GM] ok

[Aedean (Sedlack)] So, that's a 110' RI?

[GM] ok

[Arkady (James)] composite longbow.

[GM] about right?

[Velkyna (Joe)] Horizontal range is ~118 ...

[Arkady (James)] Remeber, you can't outrun that thing on a griffon...

[Aedean (Sedlack)] you didn't move up or down?

[Velkyna (Joe)] Nah. I want to stay close to the trees. I'm assuming we're near the tree line.

[Velkyna (Joe)] As we discussed.

[GM] Dral has plans to turn it into swiss cheese and sell it in Dessit.

[GM] YOu're within an easy dive of the treeline.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Last I saw, we were at 250'

[GM] 100' no prob.

[Dralafi (Jared)] besides, the rest of y'all are covering for us.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Exactly. Make us proud.

[Velkyna (Joe)] So at 118 horizontal feet, that's too far from 160' to matter. so it's -2.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Vel at 250', NW at 300': -2

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna: Attack 1: Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] hits AC: ((d20+19)) [(20+19)] 39 [POSSIBLE CRITICAL HIT (x2)] Rolling again...

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna: Attack 1: Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] hits AC: ((d20+19)) [(11+19)] 30

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna's attack of 30 misses Nightwing [NO CRITICAL HIT]

[GM] roll damage

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna: Damage 2: Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] does ((1d8+3)) [(6+3)] 9 points of damage.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Booyah.

[Arkady (James)] nice

[Dralafi (Jared)] warm it up vel

[Velkyna (Joe)] I'm about to.

[GM] vel reloads.

[GM] Arkady

[Arkady (James)] move straight up.

[GM] On the carpet?

[Arkady (James)] yes

[Velkyna (Joe)] No, just Arkady.

[Velkyna (Joe)] HOPPITY

[Arkady (James)] So can we climb 120' is it half?

[GM] 60'

[GM] You go up at 1/2 speed, per the fly spell.

[Arkady (James)] OK, now at 310' then.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Noted

[GM] Praxis, Aric, Spot checks.

[Arkady (James)] Arkady: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** comp longbow, GMW [b] hits AC: ((d20+12+1)) [(5+12+1)] 18

[Arkady (James)] Arkady's attack of 18 misses Nightwing

[GM] That's a miss.

[Arkady (James)] Arkady: spot: (d20+3) [12+3] 15

[GM] Arkady's busy.

[Arkady (James)] Praxis: Spot: (d20+5) [4+5] 9

[Arkady (James)] ah, nevermind.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Arkady's shooting a Xbow, yes?

[GM] it's cool. Brian, gimme a Spot for Aric.

[Arkady (James)] no, regular comp longbow

[GM] Aric: Spot: ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** 27

[GM] !!

[GM] nice 20.

[GM] SEBBY, you here?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Okay. Just writing down RI's so I don't have to keep asking

[Arkady (James)] thx.

[GM] ...

[Aric (Brian)] ack, sorry, had pause on

[Velkyna (Joe)] Sebby said he'd be unpacking and shtuff.

[Defthon (Don)] He said he'd be unpacking....

[Defthon (Don)] hee

[GM] I figured, that's why I sent the message. The ringing and stuff.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Heh. I've got that turned off.

[GM] Anyway, Aric sees some shapes approaching from the northwest, using the occasional clouds as cover.

[Aric (Brian)] i pass that on

[Aric (Brian)] (sorry)

[Arkady (James)] Incoming!

[GM] Giant Eagle!

[Defthon (Don)] great.

[Dralafi (Jared)] IT'S A TRAP

[Velkyna (Joe)] Hopefully it's shit I can sneak attack.

[Velkyna (Joe)] That's where I'm a viking!

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Not if I Flame Strike it first

[Giant Eagle] Okay, I can't hurt that thing. I'm gonna play free safety.

Giant Eagle climbs

[Arkady (James)] ... as opposed to strong safety

[Velkyna (Joe)] I'm more of a weak side linebacker.

[Dralafi (Jared)] I dunno, man, Philidelphia's secondary isn't that hot. Couldn't we have picked up, like, the Buccanneers or something?

[Giant Eagle] Aedean.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] I guess it came from some other dimension when I summoned it. One with football.

[GM] Bwah.

[GM] Aedean.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Game doesn't do initiative ), huh?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Er...Initiative 0.

[GM] No, Giant Eagles play a very complicated football/qwidditch variant.

[Arkady (James)] LOL!

[GM] (Chris: Yep. That's a bug we should report.)

[GM] What's the plan, Mr. Dee?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I'm going to move the carpet...Gimme a sec...

[GM] Good luck with that. *grins*

[GM] I'll move the drawn items if necessary.

[GM] I'm not sure you can.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Noted. I'll just move Aedean, and then everyone else can join him.

[GM] You move the chars, I'll move the carpets.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] And then, I'll ready a Dispel Magic for countering purposes

[Lia (Angie)] OOC:Can we get within 110ft please?

[GM] with the height difference, prolly not.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Probably not, unless we fly straight at it, and I think it's still

[GM] Lia, you're up.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] advisable to spread the party out a bit

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+15+1)) [(13+15+1)] 29

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 29 misses Nightwing

[GM] The nightwing, hasted, rolls to avoid Lia's first arrow.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] We're probably in the -2 range at this point, anyway]

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 2: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+10+1)) [(18+10+1)] 29

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 29 misses Nightwing

[GM] The second is no more fortunate.

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+15+1)) [(3+15+1)] 19

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 19 misses Nightwing

[GM] Sorry.

[Lia (Angie)] damn

[GM] hang on, I lost like half the initiatives.

[Velkyna (Joe)] I went on 33

[Dralafi (Jared)] the bang sound is nice

[GM] hee

[Defthon (Don)] I was 8

[GM] ok I found them.

[GM] Dral.

[Velkyna (Joe)] warm it up Dral

[Dralafi (Jared)] one range increment, so -2 on all these.

[Dralafi (Jared)] full attack, gmw arrows

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** +2 LBow/+3 Arrow (1st 2 shots) [B] hits AC: ((d20+20+1)) [(13+20+1)] 34

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi's attack of 34 misses Nightwing

[Aedean (Sedlack)] -2 is confirmed

[GM] suxx0r

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** +2 LBow/+3 Arrow (1st 2 shots) [B] hits AC: ((d20+20+1)) [(14+20+1)] 35

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi's attack of 35 misses Nightwing

[GM] no dice there either.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** +2 Lbow/+3 Arrow (3rd Shot) [B] hits AC: ((d20+15+1)) [(11+15+1)] 27

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi's attack of 27 misses Nightwing

[Dralafi (Jared)] haste attack

[GM] The creature is significantly harder to hit than its brother was.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] No shit

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** +2 LBow/+3 Arrow (Base) [B] hits AC: ((d20+22+1)) [(1+22+1)] 24 [CRITICAL MISS]

[Dralafi (Jared)] great

[GM] Ignore the critmiss.

[Dralafi (Jared)] that was fun. next.

[GM] Roger, int check.

[Roger (Jeff)] Roger: INT check: (d20+4) [19+4] 23

[Dralafi (Jared)] NICE

[GM] Ok, this thing is evading Dral in ways the other one didn't even come close to.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Glad someone noticed.

[GM] If I had just gotten my big pet killed in a previous battle, I'd buff up my new pet with some enhancement spells before sending him out again.

[Roger (Jeff)] We got some dodging and weaving here, Anthony Thomas style

[Velkyna (Joe)] If this was "Anthony Thomas style", he'd have gotten tripped up in the backfield.

[Dralafi (Jared)] I think that's pretty much a contradiction in terms.

[Dralafi (Jared)] A-Train != janky.

[Roger (Jeff)] Roger fires again, just 'cause

[Shottamip (Tamora)] You don't have any dispels?

[Arkady (James)] I do, but I don't go for a while.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] -4 for Roger

[GM] Go go power Roger.

[Roger (Jeff)] Hey, I do

[GM] *laughs*

[Roger (Jeff)] Okay, dispel on Nightwing

[GM] ok, *looks up rules*

[Arkady (James)] page 196 of PH

[GM] ok, I need 3 dispel checks. d20 + caster level.

[Roger (Jeff)] Alrght

[Roger (Jeff)] (d20+9) [9+9] 18

[Roger (Jeff)] (d20+9) [13+9] 22

[Roger (Jeff)] (d20+9) [20+9] 29

[Velkyna (Joe)] BOOM

[Arkady (James)] got something there, I think.

[GM] You're pretty sure you just dispelled a Mage Armor.

[GM] Aric.

[Defthon (Don)] I certainly hope so.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] That's a good start.

[Aric (Brian)] did arkady move us closer?

[Aric (Brian)] with the move up?

[Arkady (James)] no, just up.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yes, by moving up

[Aric (Brian)] ack, can't see the distance

[Arkady (James)] 250' by my measure

[Aedean (Sedlack)] -6 for xbow

[Aric (Brian)] so that's ... 4 range increments, -2 for each?

[Aric (Brian)] hrm

[GM] the first one don't coutn.

[GM] But yes.

[Arkady (James)] 3, for -6

[Aric (Brian)] did we determine that normal bolts don't do anything?

[GM] Yes.

[GM] Fortunately, you have 15 GMW bolts.

[Aric (Brian)] right

[Aric (Brian)] but that's not a lot

[GM] *shrugs* What's the plan?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] It's enough

[Arkady (James)] You can only shoot 1 per round, I don't think you're going to run out.

[Aric (Brian)] ok, fine i'll shoot off one for kicks

[Aedean (Sedlack)] If we don't kill this thing in 15 rounds, we're probably dead anyway

[Arkady (James)] Unless it eats us alive...

[Aric (Brian)] Aric: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW Bolts) hits AC: ((d20+15+1)) [(11+15+1)] 27

[Aric (Brian)] Aric's attack of 27 misses Nightwing

[GM] oh well.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Or strands us at the center of a dead planet.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Buried alive.

[GM] Aric reloads.

[Aric (Brian)] BURIED ALIVE

[GM] Praxis?

[Aric (Brian)] KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

[Praxis (James)] looking for trouble.

[GM] Spot check

[Praxis (James)] Praxis: Spot: (d20+5) [9+5] 14

[Aric (Brian)] i need to go afk for a few minutes

[GM] ???: Initiative: 3

[Aric (Brian)] i'll be back

[GM] ok

[Brian] I am away from the keyboard.

[GM] It's dark.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Arkady's boots are untied.

[GM] Death . . . to elves . . .

[Praxis (James)] I can see invisible too.

[Dralafi (Jared)] we are all likely to be eaten by grues.

[Velkyna (Joe)] UM

[Defthon (Don)] THAT'S BAD

[GM] hang on, gotta make a decision.

[Dralafi (Jared)] hey vel: lets go backwards this turn.

[GM] ok.

[James] OOC: lost you Angie.

[Velkyna (Joe)] "Huh. It's bigger than I remembered."

Nightwing casts Finger of Death on Dralafi

[James] Oh, shit.

[GM] Who's got a Dispel ready, and are you close enough?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] What's the range on FoD?

[Velkyna (Joe)] Is it a ranged-touch attack?

[GM] 25 + 5/level

[Dralafi (Jared)] ow my spleen

[James] my liver, my liver!

[Velkyna (Joe)] Spine, work with me.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Cause the nightwing is like 70' from Dral

[GM] It's got enough levels, by my calcs. Right.

[GM] lemme make sure of that.

[GM] crap, it's 5/2 levels.

[GM] ok *thinks*

[Aedean (Sedlack)] It's 25+ 5'/ TWO levels

[Velkyna (Joe)] HA HA

[Dralafi (Jared)] my spleen feels better.

Nightwing casts hold person on the Gryphon.

[GM] Hold monster, rather.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Aw, man.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I don't think a Gryphon is a legal target for that

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Nemmind

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Aedean, counterspell?

[GM] Will save for the Gryphon...

[GM] unless the counterspell comes out.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Hold on as ec...

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Was verifying range...

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Will try to counter

[GM] ok

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Roll #1: (d20+10) [1+10] 11

[GM] no dice, sorry.

[Dralafi (Jared)] hmm

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Will mulligan

[GM] *looks up rules on counters*

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Roll #1: (d20+10) [15+10] 25

[GM] Successfully countered.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] DC is 11+caster level

[Velkyna (Joe)] HOOP

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Score!

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Aedean's initiative is now 18....

[GM] Nightwing continues its pass.

[GM] RIght, lemme change that.

[Dralafi (Jared)] how many times does the nightwing get to move?

[Velkyna (Joe)] Haste

[GM] I think I did that right.

[Dralafi (Jared)] ah

[GM] I had it take its Haste move first,

[James] I want the quad damage power-up.

[GM] then it cast a spell and coasted.

[GM] It was making a pass, essentially.

[GM] Aedean's at 18 now...

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Also, Aedean moves just before the nightwing on 18.

[GM] Did that eat up your action for this round?

[GM] Hm.

[GM] I'll put you at 19, then, cuz the software will hose it otherwise.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Basically, I just took my action for last round

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Fair enough

[GM] Shottamip.

[Brian] I am back at the keyboard.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] First action, dispel on the Nightwing.

[GM] ok

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Dispel Magic: attempts to remove magical effects from the target, with dispel checks of (1d20+10) [17+10] 27, (1d20+10) [3+10] 13, and (1d20+10) [11+10] 21

[GM] There went the Bull's Strength.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Mmmm

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Is there anyone else who ought to be Hasted?

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Lia's got her ring going.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Lia or Def.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Oh, right Lia's fine.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Def then.

[James] Lia's got boots.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] And here, I thought the Nightwing was immune to low-level magic...

[GM] As well as "back."

[GM] The Nightwing didn't cast the spells.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Which is why it's an issue

[GM] I decided to rule that the spells which were cast on it were dispellable.

[Velkyna (Joe)] But its haste is not?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I'm talking about the nightwing's spell immunity

[GM] Right. The plot event was that a member of the triumverate spent 2 days teaching the nightwing to drop its spell immunity when told to.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Fair enough.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] I'm going to haste Defthon.

[James] I thought anything with SR could already do that...

[Dralafi (Jared)] can anyone do a good impression of a member of the triumvirate?

[GM] It's not SR, precisely.

[GM] Hehe.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Unless I should hold to counterspell. Hmm.

[James] Arkady can, if we've got a picture or something of him.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] My counters are more powerful than anyone else's.

[GM] You don't, and you wouldn't know it was a good idea anyway.

[GM] :)

[Velkyna (Joe)] Her kung fu is the best.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Haste: gives the target an extra partial action and a +4 haste bonus to AC for the next 11 rounds

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Update your temp AC.

[GM] Def

[Defthon (Don)] Ok. Is the extra attack at my first attack bonus, too?

[GM] Yes.

[James] Well, we're all at the +10 cap on dispel magic anyway.

[GM] Also, there will be pie.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] This is what I get for memorizing Entropic Shield rather than Change Self...

[Velkyna (Joe)] YOU FOOL

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Roger isn't

[Defthon (Don)] Here we go...

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Roger isn't, is he?

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** longbow/GMW arrow [b] hits AC: ((d20+9+2+4+1)) [(16+9+2+4+1)] 32

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon's attack of 32 (probably) hits Nightwing

[GM] What's the range?

[James] 140'

[Shottamip (Tamora)] But what I was thinking, more precisely, was that I had *matching* spells for things like Hold Monster.

[GM] Sorry.

[Defthon (Don)] 170' horz, 50' vert

[Aedean (Sedlack)] -2

[Defthon (Don)] RI 110

[GM] ?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Um, Don, you guys are @310 feet now

[GM] um, 50' is wrong.

[GM] You're 10' above.

[James] Defthon is w/ me.

[GM] 170' horiz, 10' above.

[Defthon (Don)] Sorry, looking at the wrong carpet. :P

[GM] It's closer?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] It's about 140' horiz

[Aedean (Sedlack)] -2

[GM] ok that's a miss, then.

[GM] let's rock.

[Defthon (Don)] I'm actually 140' horz and 10' above. Chris is on top of things.

[Defthon (Don)] Suck.

[James] No bonus for shooting dowhill?

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Attack 2: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** longbow/GMW arrow [b] hits AC: ((d20+4+2+4+1)) [(2+4+2+4+1)] 13

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon's attack of 13 misses Nightwing

[GM] There is a bonus for shooting downhill. It's not big enough.

[GM] 2nd attack is a miss.

[Defthon (Don)] and one more...

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** longbow/GMW arrow [b] hits AC: ((d20+9+2+4+1)) [(4+9+2+4+1)] 20

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon's attack of 20 misses Nightwing

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Mike, did you take the Inspire Courage into account?

[Defthon (Don)] Feh.

[GM] I dunno . . . Don? Is that in your temp mods?

[Defthon (Don)] I have that factored in as a temp atk bonus

[GM] excellente.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Okay

[GM] Vel.

[Velkyna (Joe)] I'm firing, free reload, firing. Then letting the griffon coast 80 northish.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] No penalty

[GM] ok.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna: Attack 1: Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] hits AC: ((d20+19)) [(8+19)] 27

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna's attack of 27 misses Nightwing

[GM] 2nd shot

[Defthon (Don)] Arkady: more height and a little closer would be good....

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna: Attack 2: Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] hits AC: ((d20+14)) [(20+14)] 34 [POSSIBLE CRITICAL HIT (x2)] Rolling again...

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna: Attack 2: Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] hits AC: ((d20+14)) [(13+14)] 27

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna's attack of 27 misses Nightwing [NO CRITICAL HIT]

[GM] roll damage. Vel's on tongiht.

[James] Understood.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna: Damage 2: Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] does ((1d8+3)) [(6+3)] 9 points of damage.

[Defthon (Don)] brb

[Don] I am away from the keyboard.

[GM] Arkady

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Vel's going to pick up more titles. Velkyna Dragonslayer, the Downfall of Undead Flyers.

[Velkyna (Joe)] If only I could sneak attack the bugger. I'd be golden.

[Arkady (James)] the rest is climb

[Aedean (Sedlack)] New height?

[Arkady (James)] +50 feet

[Velkyna (Joe)] How shaply can the griffon maneuver? I.e. if we wanted to turn?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Thanks

[GM] Vel: It's an "average" flyer.

[Velkyna (Joe)] I don't know what that means.

[GM] You can turn

[GM] 45 degrees for every 5 feet you fly.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Check.

[GM] Unless you do a bootlegger's reverse!

[GM] ;)

[Velkyna (Joe)] D7 MANEUVER

[Velkyna (Joe)] CHANCE OF ROLL

[GM] Arkady, I moved you up; how did you want to move horizontally?

[GM] Aric, gimme another Spot roll.

[Arkady (James)] Already did it.

[GM] Bueno.

[Aric (Brian)] Aric: Spot: ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** (d20+6+1) [8+6+1] 15

[Arkady (James)] 20' forward, 50' up total.

[Arkady (James)] BTW, Arkady is reading a dispel magic for counterspell

[Arkady (James)] Readying, that is.

[Joe] I am away from the keyboard.

[Lom‘ Surinen] Dralafi, I am seeing several giant winged lizards approaching quickly from the northwest.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Leapin' Lizards!

[Don] I am back at the keyboard.

[Dralafi (Jared)] I relay that to the group

[Aric (Brian)] crap! someone casta move spell on us! :)

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Space is relative

[GM] Aedean suddenly has an insight which will change the D&D universe forever.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Heh.

[Giant Eagle] I see . . . wyverns. And a dragon! Damn it!

Giant Eagle climbs

[Defthon (Don)] Oy.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I see...dead people.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] In our future

[Joe] I am back at the keyboard.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I don't suppose the Eagle provided acolor...

[Dralafi (Jared)] hey, we're all dead.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Sweet merciful crap.\

[Dralafi (Jared)] Red enough for me.

[GM] That's their move.

[Defthon (Don)] OOC Looks like green, plus an assload of wyverns.

[GM] Lia.

[Dralafi (Jared)] ooc: I meant how they showed up in the icon list ;)

[Velkyna (Joe)] FIREBALL

[Aric (Brian)] boy howdy now would be a good time for some elven rangers to appear

[Velkyna (Joe)] REPEAT FIREBALL

[Dralafi (Jared)] ALL OF THE ELVEN RANGERS. RIGHT NOW.

[Arkady (James)] I relay all this to Asratia.

[Defthon (Don)] OOC Eh they're only wyverns, how hard could they be? ;)

[Jeff] Roger targets Wyvern. Distance: 230'00"

[Velkyna (Joe)] How big does the green look, compared to the green from before?

[Arkady (James)] With the added commentary that we've about to get our assess kicked.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Have we fought wyverns before in this campaign?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Figures. Green is the color of Dragon I can't protect myself from.

[Lia (Angie)] One more round on the nightflyer

[Asratia] I have relayed this to Nailo and Ivellian. They are moving toward you.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Yeah, we fought wyverns before.

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+15+1)) [(5+15+1)] 21

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 21 misses Nightwing

[Shottamip (Tamora)] No fire protection?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] -2 for Angie

[Arkady (James)] Vel almost got eaten by one.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Green is acid

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Greens breathe fire? I thought they breathed poison.

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 2: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+10+1)) [(7+10+1)] 18

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 18 misses Nightwing

[Velkyna (Joe)] Oh, right, chlorine gas.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Black=acid

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+15+1)) [(13+15+1)] 29

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 29 misses Nightwing

[Velkyna (Joe)] acidic chlorine gas.

[Arkady (James)] Yes, poison. Some of us are very familiar with that.

[GM] Man.

[Lia (Angie)] damn

[GM] Dralafi.

[Dralafi (Jared)] what no me?

[Dralafi (Jared)] oh.

[GM] The software is fighting me. It tasks me, and I shall have it.

[Dralafi (Jared)] I continue in my vain attempts to warm up the nightwing.

[Velkyna (Joe)] it's what you were born to do.

[Dralafi (Jared)] are we still at 250 ft alt?

[Arkady (James)] Shoot him. Shoot him now!

[Velkyna (Joe)] Yeah

[Dralafi (Jared)] ok, -2 on these.

[Arkady (James)] It's Nightwing season.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yep. -2

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** +2 LBow/+3 Arrow (1st 2 shots) [B] hits AC: ((d20+20+1)) [(10+20+1)] 31

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi's attack of 31 misses Nightwing

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** +2 LBow/+3 Arrow (1st 2 shots) [B] hits AC: ((d20+20+1)) [(16+20+1)] 37

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi's attack of 37 (probably) hits Nightwing

[Velkyna (Joe)] There you go.

[GM] That's a hit.

[Dralafi (Jared)] 35 hit?

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Damage: ** MODIFIED BY: DAMAGE (+1) ** +2 LBow/+3 Arrow (1st 2 shots) [B] does ((1d8+7+1)) [(2+7+1)] 10 points of damage.

[GM] You're close enough that I no longer care about concealment.

[Velkyna (Joe)] 32 is the AC, as far as my calculations go.

[GM] Low-light vision and all.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** +2 Lbow/+3 Arrow (3rd Shot) [B] hits AC: ((d20+15+1)) [(2+15+1)] 18

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi's attack of 18 misses Nightwing

[GM] The nightwing has been hit.

[GM] Last shot misses.

[Dralafi (Jared)] haste shot

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** +2 LBow/+3 Arrow (Base) [B] hits AC: ((d20+22+1)) [(1+22+1)] 24 [CRITICAL MISS]

[Dralafi (Jared)] ok.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Fuuuuuck

[GM] That's your 2nd crit miss.

[Dralafi (Jared)] this whole haste thing NOT WORKING OUT WELL

[GM] The bow goes flying out of your hands and is caught on the thong you wrapped around your wrist.

[GM] It will require a Partial Action to re-ready.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Let me see that thong

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Apparently being faster than usual throws you completely off.

[GM] Aric.

[Dralafi (Jared)] didn't last time ;)

[Arkady (James)] Is it time for the thong song?

[Velkyna (Joe)] THONG TH THONG THONG THONG

[Aric (Brian)] ok, once again, i attack the NW

[GM] ok

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Last time you used your +20 to hit.

[GM] LET ME SEE YOUR BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG

[Aric (Brian)] how far away am i? i cna't find a palce to tell me the distance of what i'm targeting

[Dralafi (Jared)] for one of the 15 arrows ;)

[GM] THere's a sextant on the top.

[Velkyna (Joe)] The sextant thing.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] -2 for Aric

[Aric (Brian)] ok

[Aric (Brian)] Aric: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW Bolts) hits AC: ((d20+15+1)) [(20+15+1)] 36

[Aric (Brian)] Aric's attack of 36 (probably) hits Nightwing

[Velkyna (Joe)] HEY HO

[GM] nice shot!

[GM] Of course, undead are immune to crit hits.

[GM] Roll damage.

[Arkady (James)] Set up for the crit?

[Aric (Brian)] looks like i don't have crit set up right

[Aric (Brian)] nevermind

[Aric (Brian)] Aric: Damage: ** MODIFIED BY: DAMAGE (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW Bolts) does ((1d8+3+1)) [(2+3+1)] 6 points of damage.

[GM] Aric aims and fires, scoring an improbable hit.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Oh, shit Mike. I forgot to add the +1 from Arkady to either of my hits.

[GM] Then reloads.

[GM] Add 'em from now on.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Okay.

[GM] I just retconned him.

[GM] Roger.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Thanks.

[Roger (Jeff)] Fireball

[Roger (Jeff)] (8d6) [(3+3+1+4+1+2+2+3)] 19

[Aedean (Sedlack)] sukk

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 8

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 17

[Roger (Jeff)] DC is, um, 21

[Velkyna (Joe)] Shouldn't that be 9d6?

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 9

[GM] 1 level is Rogue.

[Velkyna (Joe)] He's not 10th level?

[GM] Green dragon has SR.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] No. I just made 10th.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] The new guys are 9th

[Roger (Jeff)] I made a brain fart for the dispel checks

[Velkyna (Joe)] Ok. Nemmind.

[GM] Roll to defeat it, pls Roger.

[Roger (Jeff)] (d20+8) [17+8] 25

[GM] good deal.

[GM] Green Dragon: Reflex: 13

[Arkady (James)] Good show Rog

[GM] A fireball explodes in midair and wyvern scales fly everywhere.

[GM] Praxis

[GM] (Praxis Seizure: Arkady's Hat)

[Arkady (James)] watching for trouble

[GM] Spot

[GM] (Let's do lunch after this round.

[Arkady (James)] Praxis: Spot: (d20+5) [18+5] 23

[GM] )

[GM] ok thnx

[GM] Aedean

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Okay...measuring distances...

[Arkady (James)] testing...

[Arkady (James)] Arkady: Caster Level Check: (1d20+10) [13+10] 23

[Arkady (James)] Arkady's caster level check of 23 (probably) overcomes Nightwing's spell resistance

[Aedean (Sedlack)] what height are the wyverns/dragon at

[Shottamip (Tamora)] it says 450

[GM] 450

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Okay. That makes a significant difference.

[Dralafi (Jared)] are these bodakized wyverns?

[Shottamip (Tamora)] guh.

[GM] Oh, how you love to give me ideas.

[Dralafi (Jared)] I gave you that idea months ago

[GM] No, such creatures would be nearly impossible to control.

[Dralafi (Jared)] now I need to know if it happened ;)

[Shottamip (Tamora)] But he's sleepy and forgets things.

[GM] Besides, bodakized hydra != bodakized wyvern.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] +20 feet

[Arkady (James)] also testing: (1d20+10) [14+10] 24

[Dralafi (Jared)] it was a template. pretty much by definition you can put them o other things ;)

[Aedean (Sedlack)] How fast do wyverns fly?

[GM] heh.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] (We've run into them before)

[GM] Wilderness lore check for that info.

[Arkady (James)] I thought about '90 for wyverns, yes?

[GM] Yeah, but you can't tell the diff between 60' and 90'

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Aedean: Wilderness Lore: (d20+6) [3+6] 9

[GM] just by eyeballing once.

[GM] Not sure. Probably slower than the carpets.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Hold on a sec...

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Thinking abouyt what to do next

[GM] sure

Angie has left the game.

[GM] again, lunch/dinner after this round.

[Arkady (James)] She'll be back.

[GM] So go ahead and order/get shoes on et cetera.

[GM] Joe, I understand you have obligations.

[Arkady (James)] He has an obligation to kick some wyvern ass, yes.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Yeah. I'll be gone for ~2hrs. Jared can run the griffon (though Vel is steering). Anyone who wants to run Vel's attacking can do so.

[Dralafi (Jared)] how long a break are we taking?

[GM] 1/2 hour to 45 mins.

[Velkyna (Joe)] It might be easier to have Jared just run Vel top to bottom, I suppose.

[Jeff] Roger no longer targets Nightwing.

[Dralafi (Jared)] I might need a bit longer, actually. Im gonna book now, I'll be back as soon as possible.

[Defthon (Don)] Ah but would she like that?

[GM] ok

Angie has joined the game.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Okay. I'll cast Prayer

[Dralafi (Jared)] if my turn comes up, I use my haste action to get my bow back, then shoot. as much as possible.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Which gives everyone on my carpet

[Dralafi (Jared)] vel moves the griffon to the best possible point. and shoots. as much as possible.

[GM] Noted.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] +1 to attacks, weapon damage, saves, and skill checks

[GM] ok, modify yourselves.

[Jared] I am away from the keyboard.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Is the griffon group close enough?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Nope. It's 30'

[Velkyna (Joe)] i.e. what's the range on Prayer?

[Velkyna (Joe)] Doh

[GM] ok is that it for Aedean?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yup

[Angie] Map me please

[Angie] Thanks, sorry about that

[Arkady (James)] This could be a problem.

[GM] *thinks*

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Well, you guys have shooters.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] At least the chuckers are near the Wyverns.

[GM] The wyvern flies directly underneath the carpet,

[GM] then casts Dispel Magic on the Carpet

[GM] Sorry, nightflyer, not wyvbern.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] How far did it fly?

[GM] 110' Double move.

[Defthon (Don)] What are our relative heights?

[GM] Then casts spell with Haste action

[Arkady (James)] Can Arkady try to counter the dispel w/ his dispel?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] What height is it at?

[GM] 300 ft

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yes, he can, of course

[GM] Yes, give me a spot check to keep track of it as it flies under the carpet.

[Arkady (James)] Praxis: Spot: (d20+5) [6+5] 11

[GM] Good enough.

[Arkady (James)] Who does the spot?

[GM] Doesn't matter, you two are in constant contact anyway.

[GM] Nightwing casts Dispel Magic

[GM] I assume Arkady counters?

[Arkady (James)] yes.

[GM] Nothing happens.

[Arkady (James)] Do I need to roll?

[GM] No.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] If you ID it, the counter is automatic

[Aedean (Sedlack)] (since it's the same spell)

[GM] Right, and the Spellcraft is crazy easy.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Arkady's initiative is now 18^H9, just like Aedean's

[Arkady (James)] OK.

[GM] Shottamip.

[Velkyna (Joe)] FIAAAAAH BARUUUUUU

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Fireball, empowered: creates a 40-foot fireball at the desired location for ((10d6)*3/2) [((6+5+1+6+4+1+4+1+4+2))*3/2] 51 damage to each creature in the area (Reflex save for half damage, DC 19)

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Oh, that's nice.

[Velkyna (Joe)] HERE COMES THE BOOM

[Aric (Brian)] wow

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 16

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 9

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 17

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 24

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 18

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 9

[Arkady (James)] Good show Shottamip!

[Angie] o!

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Fireball, empowered: creates a 40-foot fireball at the desired location for ((10d6)*3/2) [((4+2+5+2+1+5+4+6+6+3))*3/2] 57 damage to each creature in the area (Reflex save for half damage, DC 19)

[GM] One wyvern is down; the rest look hurt.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I'm so sure the wyverns have different number of HP

[Velkyna (Joe)] Rilly.

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 8

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Small variation, sure.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Okay, let me rephrase:

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Klooge will do that for you when you create a batch of the monster, I think.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I'm so sure Mike took the trouble to roll up HP for each Wyvern

[GM] boom boom

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I see...interesting.

[GM] 6 dead wyverns.

[GM] WHen I multi-paste NPCs, I can set an expression to roll HP.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Half gone. I'm done.

[GM] It's a little bit of love I give to all of you.

[GM] My sister Meghan is bored and may stop by.

[GM] Def.

[Velkyna (Joe)] The game, or Hawaii

[Defthon (Don)] Shooting straight down at the nightwing.

[GM] Both!

[GM] hehe

[GM] The game.

[GM] Balance check.

[Defthon (Don)] Eh? Hmm...

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Is the NW still at 300'?

[GM] Don't forget your Armor Check Penalty.

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Balance: (d20+0+2) [13+0+2] 15

[GM] Yes.

[GM] No prob.

[GM] Shoot the nightwing.

[GM] You're within your range increment.

[Defthon (Don)] Also, I'm shooting straight down, which should count for something.

[Arkady (James)] Yes, actually, I'd rather not be within the range increment...

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** longbow/GMW arrow [b] hits AC: ((d20+9+2+4+1)) [(10+9+2+4+1)] 26

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon's attack of 26 misses Nightwing

[GM] FIRE TWO!

[Defthon (Don)] Chris, what's my plus here?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] There's no penalty.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Need a 32.

[Defthon (Don)] There's no plus for being straight overhead of the thing?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Unless you have Point Blank Shot or something, there's no bonus

[Defthon (Don)] I do, but that's at 30'.

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Attack 2: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** longbow/GMW arrow [b] hits AC: ((d20+4+2+4+1)) [(17+4+2+4+1)] 28

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon's attack of 28 misses Nightwing

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** longbow/GMW arrow [b] hits AC: ((d20+9+2+4+1)) [(10+9+2+4+1)] 26

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon's attack of 26 misses Nightwing

[Angie] I am away from the keyboard.

[GM] oh well.

[Arkady (James)] Agh.

[Defthon (Don)] How big is this thing, by the way?

[GM] Vel.

[GM] "Huge"

[Velkyna (Joe)] Okay, maneuvering and moving the griffon.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Do I need a ride check to do a bunch of 45 turns?

[GM] That is, 15' wingspan

[Velkyna (Joe)] Or is that still 5

[GM] STill 5

[Velkyna (Joe)] Sweet.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Will do a series of 45 turns, 5' moves.

[GM] ok

[Angie] I am back at the keyboard.

[Velkyna (Joe)] That was 20'. Then 60' straight.

[GM] ok

[Velkyna (Joe)] free action reload.

[GM] ok

[Velkyna (Joe)] Then fire.

[GM] ok

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] hits AC: ((d20+19+1)) [(19+19+1)] 39 [POSSIBLE CRITICAL HIT (x2)] Rolling again...

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] hits AC: ((d20+19+1)) [(1+19+1)] 21

[Velkyna (Joe)] Velkyna: Damage 2: ** MODIFIED BY: DAMAGE (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] does ((1d8+3+1)) [(6+3+1)] 10 points of damage.

[Velkyna (Joe)] And I'm out of here.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Be back in ~2 hours.

[GM] See you then; sorry about the circumstances.

[Joe] I am away from the keyboard.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Thanks.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Later

[Giant Eagle] Wyverns . . . wyverns I can handle.

[Wyvern] wanna bet?

[Roger (Jeff)] Yess.... stay in formation

[Aric (Brian)] you know, these triumvirate types need to teach their foot soldiers better common..."gonna"? "wanna"?

[Defthon (Don)] What's going on? Did Joe's leaving signal the dinner break?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] r u paused?

[GM] just a momen

[Shottamip (Tamora)] The crisped wyverns are still plummeting towards the ground.

[GM] I'm moving bad guys

[GM] The wyverns continue to advance; they'll be on you in a round.

[GM] ...and it's time for food.

[Jeff] I am away from the keyboard.

[Defthon (Don)] Ok.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] They're still at 450'

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yes?

[Arkady (James)] OK.

[GM] yes.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Noted.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] back after I get dinner....

[GM] One can dive at double speed, at least . .

[James] I am away from the keyboard.

[GM] double speed.

[GM] see you soon!

[Angie] I am away from the keyboard.

[Sedlack] I am away from the keyboard.

[Defthon (Don)] For future reference, I think *I* could hit a 15' target from 60' straight overhead. And I've never shot an arrow before. But I imagine the nightwing will move before the next round. :)

[Don] I am away from the keyboard.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] The AC is accounting for its Natural Armor and its Dexterous avoidance.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] You may have touched it, but done no damage.

[Aric (Brian)] so this is dinner break?

[Aric (Brian)] (sorry was folding laundry :) )

[Aric (Brian)] going to assume it is...back later

Brian has left the game.

Brian has joined the game.

[Aric (Brian)] and yes, DISCONNECT IS NEXT TO SLEEP

[Aric (Brian)] dammit

[Brian] I am away from the keyboard.

[Aric (Brian)] i'm gonna need a map

[Sedlack] I am back at the keyboard.

[James] I am back at the keyboard.

[Arkady (James)] Well, Arkady has one more dispel left, after that, it could get interesting.

[Angie] I am back at the keyboard.

[Arkady (James)] get something to eat?

[Lia (Angie)] I am still finishing my food

[Don] I am back at the keyboard.

[Arkady (James)] shredded wheat cereal can be a good snack

[Arkady (James)] especially if it is frosted or somesuch

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Indeed

[GM] I am away from the keyboard.

[GM] I am back at the keyboard.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] that was close...

[Aedean (Sedlack)] i asked for two chi dogs w/o peppers. the 1st was fine, but thge 2nd had peppers

[Aedean (Sedlack)] luckily i saw them before biting

[Arkady (James)] I like some hot foods (like Thai or Japanese curry) but I don't like peppers on hot dogs or such.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] yeah, i'm really sensitive to peppers

[Angie] Mike, when you called the dragon armor "plate mail" do you mean half plate?

[GM] No.

[GM] I meant full plate.

[GM] It was a big dragon.

[GM] I'm back now, for the record.

[Jeff] I am back at the keyboard.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Hey, Mike, what would you rule is "doing nothing" for a fying creature? Circling?

[GM] Hell, I dunno.

[GM] For most creatures, it involves some amount of coasting; lazy circling would be fine.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Ok, I figured it would be something like that.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] It's the most common result for Confusion.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I was evaluating options.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Or rather, I _am_ evaluating options.

[GM] right.

[GM] okay, 1-2 more people and we'll get rolling

[GM] Jared said he might be a little while, so . . . actually, let's just go.

[Arkady (James)] 'Confusion' by New Order (pump panel remix) now playing...

[Defthon (Don)] nice.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Heh

[GM] Angie, it's Lia's turn to bring the noise.

[Angie] Where's the

[Arkady (James)] The wyverns are probably easier to hit, and closer.

[GM] under the other carpet.

[Angie] Thanks

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Mike, our carpet is at 270 feet now. FYI.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yeah, but she's got all the chuckers on her carpet

[GM] roger.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] And the chuckers will clean up the wyverns quite nicely

[Jared] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lia (Angie)] One more go at the Nightflyer

[Dralafi (Jared)] Im back

[Aedean (Sedlack)] -2

[Dralafi (Jared)] anyone dead yet?

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+15+1)) [(1+15+1)] 17 [CRITICAL MISS]

[GM] nope just starting.

[GM] This is me ignoring the critical miss.

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 2: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+10+1)) [(6+10+1)] 17

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 17 misses Nightwing

[Arkady (James)] 3rd one?

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+15+1)) [(12+15+1)] 28

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 28 misses Nightwing

[GM] suxx0r

[GM] Dral

[Lia (Angie)] THis is getting old

[Arkady (James)] I know.

[Roger (Jeff)] WARM IT UP

[Dralafi (Jared)] I do the standard thing

[Aedean (Sedlack)] -2

[Dralafi (Jared)] thx.

[GM] Is that the one where you're wearing sort of sun god robes, and everyone is throwing little pickles at you?

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** +2 LBow/+3 Arrow (1st 2 shots) [B] hits AC: ((d20+20+1)) [(5+20+1)] 26

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi's attack of 26 misses Nightwing

[GM] NEXT.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** +2 LBow/+3 Arrow (1st 2 shots) [B] hits AC: ((d20+20+1)) [(19+20+1)] 40 [POSSIBLE CRITICAL HIT (x3)] Rolling again...

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** +2 LBow/+3 Arrow (1st 2 shots) [B] hits AC: ((d20+20+1)) [(6+20+1)] 27

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi's attack of 27 misses Nightwing [NO CRITICAL HIT]

[GM] roll damage

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Damage: ** MODIFIED BY: DAMAGE (+1) ** +2 LBow/+3 Arrow (1st 2 shots) [B] does ((1d8+7+1)) [(3+7+1)] 11 points of damage.

[Arkady (James)] good.

[GM] ok

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** +2 Lbow/+3 Arrow (3rd Shot) [B] hits AC: ((d20+15+1)) [(5+15+1)] 21

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi's attack of 21 misses Nightwing

[Dralafi (Jared)] and I had to use my haste action to get the bow as I recall.

[GM] yes

[GM] Aric

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Sebby's not back yet

[Arkady (James)] He'd probably just shoot and reload.

[GM] Right.

[GM] *thinks*

[GM] What would Brian Boitano do?

[Arkady (James)] WWBBD?

[Dralafi (Jared)] he leaps on the nightwing and forcefully wrestles it to the ground, before breaking its neck.

[GM] let's see, 60' . . .

[GM] (BTW, you're all enjoying the bone-numbing chill of the grave which is the nightflyer's trademark. Yummy.)

[Arkady (James)] LOL, does he have any way to get to the ground if he misses?

[GM] Chris -- how fast does one fall 60'.

[Defthon (Don)] Feh. Am I supposed to be afraid of that?

[GM] Arkady: The usual way.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] jas

[Defthon (Don)] About 2 seconds, I think.

[Arkady (James)] ... I meant safely... as opposed to splatly.

[GM] WEE JAS WEE JAS OH GOD THE SWEET NOURISHING WEE JAS

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yeah. 1.936

[GM] I really really want to have Aric jump down onto the nightflyer.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] But

[Arkady (James)] OMG.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Let's say he kills it.

[GM] Right.

[Arkady (James)] LOL

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Or it gets killed while he's on it

[GM] Someone would have to Featherfall him.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] What does he do then?

[Roger (Jeff)] Lome could featherfall him

[GM] Um, obey the laws of physics?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Featherfall only lasts a few rounds or "until landing"

[Dralafi (Jared)] we just pretend the nightwing is a wall falling just as fast as him.

[GM] he can't die.

[Arkady (James)] I could have Praxis FF him.

[Dralafi (Jared)] he keeps bouncing off of it monk style.

[Dralafi (Jared)] takes no damage.

[GM] Seriously, you'd rescue him.

[GM] You'd have like a full round to think of something.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Or we can "save" him with a Raise Dead. :)

[Arkady (James)] Wouldn't it take more than 2 sec to fall 360 feet?

[GM] exactly.

[Brian] I am back at the keyboard.

[Arkady (James)] only fall 32 feet in the 1st second.

[GM] LOL!

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Ah.

[Defthon (Don)] Awwww.

[Defthon (Don)] Only 16 feet in the first second, actually.

[GM] Brian -- you shouldjump down onto the nightflyer.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Actually, you only fall 16 feet in the first second

[GM] Not kidding.

[Arkady (James)] Oh, right.

[Defthon (Don)] 48 feet in the second scond...

[Aric (Brian)] um, wouldn't that be a bad idea?

[GM] I'm having a hard time seeing why. Honestly.

[Defthon (Don)] NAAAAHHHHH....

[Arkady (James)] Praxis wil FF you.

[Dralafi (Jared)] ITS A GREAT IDEA!

[GM] It'll give you one good crossbow shot per round, guaranteed.

[Aric (Brian)] or is it so big that i could avoid its bite?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] You have the Death Ward

[Aric (Brian)] why couldn't i ki strike it?

[GM] Yeah, it's pretty big. Also, the action is insane so it won't see it coming.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] (for the FoD)

[GM] Its DR is too bronze. Aric would know that.

[GM] He couldn't ki strike the other one either.

[Defthon (Don)] Me, I'd been trying to think of a way to bungee jump off the carpet.

[Aric (Brian)] crap

[Aric (Brian)] ok

[Defthon (Don)] But Aric could do a lot better thant that. :)

[GM] Of course, Def could hand you Tsohanoai.

[Arkady (James)] I could GMW his kama or whatever, if he had it out.

[GM] a -4 to hit is hardly a big deal.

[Aric (Brian)] i tumble (heh) onto the nightflyer and pump it full of GMW

[Roger (Jeff)] DO IT

[GM] Oh sweet merciful crap I love the world.

[Roger (Jeff)] DO IT

[GM] Tumble check.

[Dralafi (Jared)] AWESOME

[Aric (Brian)] Aric: Tumble: ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** (d20+12+1) [17+12+1] 30

[Aric (Brian)] can i immediately attack it?

[GM] Aric hooks a hand onto one of the ropes crisscrossing the carpet, then to the utter bafflement of those involved,

[GM] drops off of the carpet, falling . . . 1 . . .

[GM] 2 . . .

[GM] and lands on the nightwing!

[Lia (Angie)] OMG

[GM] Fire the crossbow.

[Arkady (James)] point blank!

[Aric (Brian)] Aric: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW Bolts) hits AC: ((d20+15+1)) [(4+15+1)] 20

[Aric (Brian)] Aric's attack of 20 misses Nightwing

[GM] That's not a miss.

[GM] You're standing on the damn thing.

[Aric (Brian)] Aric: Damage: ** MODIFIED BY: DAMAGE (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW Bolts) does ((1d8+3+1)) [(6+3+1)] 10 points of damage.

[Lia (Angie)] That's one way to get rid of the range penalty

[Arkady (James)] the literal broad side of the barn

[GM] That'll cancel its dodge bonus.

[GM] Aric fires just before he hits, then lands perfectly on the creature's back.

[GM] Let me know if you think of something clever to do next round.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Missing is "practically impossible", so he has a -20 to his attempts to miss

[GM] Roger.

[Roger (Jeff)] Fireball: (8d6) [(1+5+6+3+2+5+2+3)] 27

[Roger (Jeff)] Roger: Caster Level Check: (8) [8] 8

[GM] kool

[Shottamip (Tamora)] It's flat-footed, so to speak.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Ummm...There's no d20 in there

[Roger (Jeff)] Wait, was that even a roll?

[GM] no

[Roger (Jeff)] (d20+8) [17+8] 25

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 9

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 23

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 19

[GM] Roger continues the good work of toasting wyverns.

[GM] But the dragon shrugs off the blow. Wilderness lore/Bardic KNowledge/

[GM] whatever makes sense to ID the dragon.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] For whom?

[Arkady (James)] Arkady: bardic knowledge: (d20+11) [17+11] 28

[Roger (Jeff)] Roger: Knowledge (Arcana): ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** (d20+10+1) [5+10+1] 16

[GM] whoever's paying attention to it instead of the other stuff.

[Dralafi (Jared)] it's really tiamat

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Aedean: Wilderness Lore: ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** (d20+6+1) [15+6+1] 22

[Arkady (James)] That would not be Arkady then.

[GM] (penalty to knowledge: arcana for being peripherally related.)

[GM] heh.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] It's Asratia in disguise!

[GM] It's either a young adult or an adult green dragon; it breathes acid, has a decent SR, and can cast a few spells.

[GM] Also, it's gonna start causing saves vs. fear when it gets close.

[GM] Arkady's turn.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Are you sure it breathes acid and not poison gas, Mike?

[Roger (Jeff)] Woo! +2 bonus

[Arkady (James)] move 10', climb 50', prepare a spell

[GM] it's actually "corrosive (acid) gas."

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Score!

[Dralafi (Jared)] ahhh. it's really demogorgon. I see.

[GM] You're just tyring to ditch Aric, aren't you? ;)

[Arkady (James)] I can't select Praxis to move him

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Leave Praxis by Aric, for FF.

[GM] Dang, that's good thinking.

[Arkady (James)] Yes, Praxis will follow Aric

[GM] ok

[Arkady (James)] Angie: you still there?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Records of altitudes updated to reflect the fact that Aric is on the Nightwing

[GM] thanx.

[Arkady (James)] So our carpet's altitude is 410.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Noted

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Hello?

[GM] NExt

[GM] I assume Arkady is holding a Dispel?

[Arkady (James)] yes

[GM] Praxis follows the nightwing and holds his action.

[GM] Aedean.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] +20 feet up

[Aedean (Sedlack)] And casting Protection from Elements on himself, choosing "acid"

[GM] rock on.

[GM] options, options

[GM] The nightwing banks and descends, essentially ignoring Aric

[GM] (Balance or Tumble check to stay on)

[GM] who currently has no magical effects on them of Shottamip, Aedean, and Roger?

[GM] Just Roger, neh?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] If by effects you mean spells, yes.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Everyone is affected by the Prayer and Inspiration effects.

[Aric (Brian)] Aric: Tumble: ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** (d20+12+1) [13+12+1] 26

[GM] right.

[GM] Thanks, Brian.

[GM] The Nightwing casts Finger of Death on Roger.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Oh, right. Everyone has the prayer

[Roger (Jeff)] Roger: Fortitude: ** MODIFIED BY: FORT(+3) ** (d20+8+3) [11+8+3] 22

[Arkady (James)] Arkady has a dispel prepped

[GM] Attempt to counter the spell.

[Arkady (James)] Arkady: Caster Level Check: (1d20+10) [10+10] 20

[Arkady (James)] Arkady's caster level check of 20 (probably) overcomes Nightwing's spell resistance

[GM] The counter is unsuccessful.

[Defthon (Don)] D'OH

[Aedean (Sedlack)] How about the save?

[Arkady (James)] Did the Nightwing do a ranged touch attack on Roger?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Finger of Death isn't a RTA.

[GM] Roger saves against the Finger of Death.

[Arkady (James)] Ah, was thinking it was a ray or something.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Taking ? damage

[GM] Takes instead 24 damage

[Jeff] Roger's hit points adjusted by -24 to 27.

[GM] Then the nightwing slams into the carpet.

[Defthon (Don)] D'OH

[GM] It's flying at 60' per round, so I'm gonna rule it's an impact as though you'd all fallen 30 feet.

[GM] Everyone take 3d6 damage, reflex halves.

[Defthon (Don)] Wow, it just gets better and better, huh?

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Reflex: (d20+3+2+4) [10+3+2+4] 19

[Roger (Jeff)] Roger: Reflex: ** MODIFIED BY: REF(+1) ** (d20+11+1) [20+11+1] 32

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Aedean: Reflex: ** MODIFIED BY: REF(+1) ** (d20+8-1+1) [15+8-1+1] 23

[GM] Aric, reflex save to avoid smacking into your companions.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Reflex: ** MODIFIED BY: REF(+1) ** (d20+6+1) [2+6+1] 9

[GM] 3

[GM] OMG

[Defthon (Don)] Whoops, wrong carpet. :)

[GM] That was your damage.

[GM] 3.

[GM] I rolled 1 1 1

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Reflex: ** MODIFIED BY: REF(+2) ** (d20+7+2) [5+7+2] 14

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Heh.

[Defthon (Don)] That's what I get for paying half attention. :P

[Aedean (Sedlack)] What's the save DC?

[GM] DC 15

[Lia (Angie)] Plus 1 for prayer

[Tamora] Shottamip's hit points adjusted by -3 to 69.

[Aric (Brian)] Aric: Reflex: (d20+11) [8+11] 19

[Sedlack] Aedean's hit points adjusted by -1 to 76.

[Jeff] Roger's hit points adjusted by -1 to 26.

[GM] The carpet is totally upended

[GM] Aric dodges his friends and their stuff

[Roger (Jeff)] AoOs?

[GM] Tumble check DC30 to hang onto the carpet.

[Dralafi (Jared)] lol

[GM] Nobody has weapons drawn.

[Roger (Jeff)] Roger: Tumble: ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** (d20+9+1) [2+9+1] 12

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Aedean fails that Tumble check

[GM] Except Roger with the crossbow, and there are no ranged AoOs.

[GM] Yeah

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Tumble: ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** (d20+6+1) [15+6+1] 22

[GM] The three of you go flying.

[GM] Aric, you have a choice.

[GM] YOu can grab one of them.

[Roger (Jeff)] WHEE!

[GM] Decide.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] (I have boots)

[GM] (or zero, if you think they'd be better off falling than on a nightflyer.)

[Arkady (James)] Rog can FF, Lia can FF.

[Aric (Brian)] does anyone not have FF?

[Lia (Angie)] I have a rign of featherfall (as discussed earlier)

[GM] 3

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Aedean

[GM] 2

[Aric (Brian)] i try to grab aedean

[GM] ok

[GM] (thinks)

[GM] Strength check

[Aric (Brian)] Aric: STR check: (d20+4) [17+4] 21

[GM] heh.

[GM] Aric grabs Aedean's ankle and man (er, half-orc) handles him onto the back of the nightflyer.

[Aric (Brian)] welcome aboard

[GM] Roger and Shottamip go flying.

[GM] (heh. Nice use of the improved charisma.)

[GM] After the thump, you see Shottamip getting ready to activate her boots and Roger just enjoying himself silly.

[GM] Shottamip.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I didn't expect that.

[GM] Is activating the boots a free action?

[Shottamip (Tamora)] For a move-equivalent, I will activate my boots of flying and head downish.

[Arkady (James)] Should we move Aric?

[GM] okay, how far does Tamora fall in the 3 seconds it takes to activate?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] 144'

[Arkady (James)] 144 feet

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip, not me.

[GM] hehe

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Say 145'

[Arkady (James)] damn, you beat me.

[GM] Shottamip falls 145 feet.

[GM] Then activates her boots.

[GM] And controls her descent further.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Do I have the option of waiting another second to activate? Because I'd like to be close to the ground?

[GM] The trees go up to about 75 - 100 ft.

[GM] You're in pretty good shape.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Oh, okay.

[Dralafi (Jared)] why does it take 3 seconds to activate?

[GM] It's a move-equivalent action . . . I'm improvising.

[Dralafi (Jared)] its a free action

[Shottamip (Tamora)] I'm in a controlled descent to the treetops, then, looking to send spells out without being very noticeable.

[GM] oh!

[GM] ok, then Shottamip descends to the treetops without difficulty.

[Dralafi (Jared)] wait. maybe it isnt for boots.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] If you go down too low, you might be out of range for this round

[Dralafi (Jared)] sorry, I get the spell/spell item thing mixed up.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Concentration: ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** (d20+18+1) [2+18+1] 21

[GM] ok

[GM] Cast your spell

[Arkady (James)] firaaaaah balllru

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yeah, a Fireball should still beall good as far as range is concerned.

[GM] Oh, look, the earth-shattering kaboom.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Fireball, empowered: creates a 40-foot fireball at the desired location for ((10d6)*3/2) [((5+4+1+3+2+1+3+3+1+2))*3/2] 37 damage to each creature in the area (Reflex save for half damage, DC 19)

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 18

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 9

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 21

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 23

[GM] ok

[GM] Shottamip and Roger are basically 80mm flak guns. Geez...

[GM] Another wyvern, burning, is falling toward the treetops as the other ones hit the foliage.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] The difference between 100'+10'/level and 400'+40'/level is key

[GM] Def

[GM] TOP TEN DEF THINGS:

[Defthon (Don)] Shooting at the 'wing

[GM] 0. TSOHANOAI

[GM] ok

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** longbow/GMW arrow [b] hits AC: ((d20+9+2+4+1)) [(3+9+2+4+1)] 19

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon's attack of 19 misses Nightwing

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Attack 2: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** longbow/GMW arrow [b] hits AC: ((d20+4+2+4+1)) [(10+4+2+4+1)] 21

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon's attack of 21 misses Nightwing

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** longbow/GMW arrow [b] hits AC: ((d20+9+2+4+1)) [(10+9+2+4+1)] 26

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon's attack of 26 misses Nightwing

[Defthon (Don)] This is pointless.

[GM] Aric, gimme a Deflect Arrows reflex save please.

[Aric (Brian)] is that a skill or just reflex?

[GM] reflex

[Aric (Brian)] Aric: Reflex: (d20+11) [19+11] 30

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Don't make me have to cast Entropic Shield on myself to protect from friendly fire

[GM] lol

[Aric (Brian)] can i deflect them into the nightwing?

[GM] Okay, flip a coin, Aric.

[Defthon (Don)] Hey Arkady---if you zoom up under that sucker I bet I can get a gut shot with my sword.

[Aric (Brian)] A flip of the ol' kLoOge Coin results in: Tails

[GM] okay, the arrow goes whinging off into the darkness.

[GM] Thanks.

[Arkady (James)] Uh, we're above it now, and we'll stay that way.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Too bad you guys are 120' above it right now.

[GM] Vel

[Arkady (James)] If you want to jump on it too, be my guest.

[Defthon (Don)] Er, down to that thing.

[Defthon (Don)] Hm.

[GM] Jared, what's Vel up to (all up and down)

[Dralafi (Jared)] hm good question.

[Roger (Jeff)] TUMBLE

[GM] she is steering in a general sense.

[Roger (Jeff)] SELL IT

[Roger (Jeff)] GO INVISIBLE

[Dralafi (Jared)] we're a little far for that to be viable.

[GM] Roger has laid out the 3 most common choices.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Well, the heavy artillery is still hitting the reinforcements

[Arkady (James)] you forgot sneak attack

[Dralafi (Jared)] tumbling off the gryphon is less than ideal.

[GM] You'll likely want to move the gryphon toward the nightflyer.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] She was doing a fine job with her bow.

[Dralafi (Jared)] we cant sell it until its dead.

[GM] Then shoot off a round.

[Arkady (James)] Are we flanking the nightwing yet?

[GM] No.

[Dralafi (Jared)] so we move a bit closer, more shooting.

[GM] Thank you for playing.

[GM] ok

[Arkady (James)] So reload, shoot, reload.

[GM] reload as free action, fire, reload.

[Lia (Angie)] Can we fit anyone else on the gryphon?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Doubtful

[GM] Vel's not nearly good enough a rider to try that sort of thing.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I don't think gryphons are _that_big

[Lia (Angie)] Didn't think so

[Arkady (James)] That would fall under the 'fancy stuff' category then.

[GM] Vel, take your shot.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] No penalty there

[GM] Aric, Aedean: You are very cold.

[GM] Another round or two will start requiring Con/Fortitude checks or suffering penalties.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Noted

[Dralafi (Jared)] Velkyna: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] hits AC: ((d20+19+1)) [(4+19+1)] 24

[Dralafi (Jared)] Velkyna's attack of 24 misses Nightwing

[GM] next attack.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Velkyna: Attack 2: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] hits AC: ((d20+14+1)) [(4+14+1)] 19

[Dralafi (Jared)] Velkyna's attack of 19 misses Nightwing

[GM] also a miss.

[Dralafi (Jared)] hm. my crappy rolling is infectious.

[GM] Giant eagle moves to engage the wyverns.

[Arkady (James)] Vel only got one shot this round anyway, right?

[GM] Yeah, that was my badd.

[GM] wyvern turn

[GM] 3 of the wyverns move to engage the giant eagle; the dragon and 3 others head toward you.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] "Delaying Tactics"

[GM] Wyvern: Attack: Bite hits AC: 22

[GM] Wyvern's attack of 22 (probably) hits Giant Eagle

[Dralafi (Jared)] This is going to get bad quickly.

[GM] Wyvern: Damage: Bite does 8 points of damage.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] This is going to get fun quickly.

[GM] Wyvern: Attack: Bite hits AC: 20

[GM] Wyvern's attack of 20 (probably) hits Giant Eagle

[GM] Wyvern: Damage: Bite does 14 points of damage.

[GM] Wyvern: Attack: Bite hits AC: 6

[GM] Wyvern's attack of 6 misses Giant Eagle

[GM] the wyverns bite at the eagle, then attempt to stab it with their stingers.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] It's distracting them for a round. Not bad for a pre-combat spell.

[GM] Wyvern: Attack: Sting hits AC: 27

[GM] Wyvern's attack of 27 (probably) hits Giant Eagle

[GM] Wyvern: Damage: Sting does 9 points of damage.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Exactly

[GM] The eagle goes down.

[GM] ...and disappears in a mist of light back to its home plane.

[Aric (Brian)] Thank you, noble distrator......er, friend.

[Roger (Jeff)] Ensign down!

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Enh. It didn't actually die.

[Aric (Brian)] hey, was he a red eagle? :)

[GM] Lia

[Arkady (James)] Can she do anything besides fall?

[Aric (Brian)] it wouild be totally bronze to fire while falling

[GM] Remind me . . . is she featherfalling?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I think Ring of Feather Fall kicks in almost immediately

[Arkady (James)] yes, she's FF'ing.

[GM] Yeah, so she's actually got a firing platform at that point.

[Defthon (Don)] Hey Arkady---the others seem to have the nightwing and I'm not helping, so let's zoom towards the wyverns.

[GM] -2 circumstnace penalty for sheer weirdness, but other that she's fine.

[Dralafi (Jared)] !

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yeah, Ring kicks in after 3'

[GM] She's even below the creature so she can't hit Aric or Aedean

[Arkady (James)] shoot!

[GM] (how far does she fall this round?)

[Lia (Angie)] ok, shooting at the flyer

[Aric (Brian)] SHOOT HER

[Arkady (James)] up to 60'

[Aedean (Sedlack)] If she's under it, and we're on top of it, do we get the flanking bonus? :)

[GM] ok thnx

[GM] heh.

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 1: * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+15)) [(14+15)] 29

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 29 misses Nightwing

[GM] sucker's hard to hit.

[GM] next.

[Aric (Brian)] warm it up dral!

[GM] Lia's got more attacks.

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 2: * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+10)) [(18+10)] 28

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 28 misses Nightwing

[Aric (Brian)] hold that thought dral!

[GM] ok now your haste attack...?

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 1: * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+15)) [(15+15)] 30

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 30 misses Nightwing

[GM] close.

[GM] Dral

[Aedean (Sedlack)] +1 from Prayer?

[GM] Nope.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Again with the shooting.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Or not that clsoe?

[GM] Good thought, though.

[GM] Not that close.

[GM] Go Dral1

[GM] ur 3133t

[Aric (Brian)] then dral2 can go

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Did Dral copy himself?

[Dralafi (Jared)] how close am i?

[GM] 20' below

[GM] 22' away

[GM] (math)

[Arkady (James)] Don: Need I remind you that closer to the wyverns means closer to the green dragon?

[GM] 28' or so?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] 29.7

[GM] heh.

[Dralafi (Jared)] so I can use my within 30' bonuses? good.

[Defthon (Don)] Well, do you have any better ideas?

[Arkady (James)] Well, going toe to toe w/ a adult green is suicide. Arkady should know.

[GM] no crits on the nightwing

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Damage: ** MODIFIED BY: DAMAGE (+1) ** +2 LBow/+3 Arr. (30' 1st 2 shots) [B] does ((1d8+11+1)) [(3+11+1)] 15 points of damage.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Dralafi: Attack: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** +2 LBow/+3 Arr. (30' 3rd shot) [B] hits AC: ((d20+16+1)) [(14+16+1)] 31

[GM] Image:

[Dralafi (Jared)] *3 ;)

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Awesome round.

[Arkady (James)] Wow.

[GM] Aric grabs Aedean's foot, slams him down onto the nightflyer's frozen back

[GM] Then reaches with his other hand into his pack to grab an enchanted bolt with which to stab the creature.

[GM] He shifts his weight slightly, then realizes the Nightflyer is going to try to roll and throw both of them off

[GM] A brief moment of panic flashes behind his eyes, when suddenly four arrows shear the air.

[GM] One goes wide, but the other three bury themselves deep into the nightwing's body, and it dissolves.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Great. Now Aric and I get to fall.

[GM] Aric's relief is short-lived however . . .

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Praxis held his action - he can featherfall now.

[GM] as Aedean says, "Great. Now we get to fall."

[Arkady (James)] well, that occurs during Arkady's turn.

[GM] Roger.

[Aric (Brian)] shoot. it dissolved? could have done some kicking coolness off it as it fell to the ground

[Aedean (Sedlack)] It's a held action. It happens as soon as the trigger occurs

[Roger (Jeff)] Feather fall

[Aedean (Sedlack)] In this case, presumably "when Aric starts to fall"

[GM] Right, but was Arkady holding a featherfall action?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] And Praxis' initiative changes

[GM] I thought he was holding a Dispel action.

[Aric (Brian)] oh wait, is there a carpet beneath us? i could grab aedean and tumble onto it

[GM] Praxis himself is doing no casting.

[Arkady (James)] That was last round

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Oh. My badd.

[GM] *thinks*

[GM] Where is that carpet...

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I misunderstood

[Arkady (James)] This round, Arkady can cast FF through Praxis.

[GM] it kind of crumpled and fell for lack of better things to do . . .

[GM] Well, you do have a priest of the luck god along.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yeah. We'll have to pick it up later.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I suppose maybe it just floated

[GM] The carpet's directly below you, more or less.

[GM] You might be able to grab onto it as you fall.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Reflex saves?

[GM] However, Roger cast Featherfall on Aric and Aedean, yes?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] No.

[Arkady (James)] Range is 'close' anyway. For me 50'.

[Roger (Jeff)] I'm below out of range

[GM] sukk

[Arkady (James)] Rog would be 40'.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] And duration is short

[GM] okay, then. So what *is* roger doing?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] So it's not easily pre-cast

[Roger (Jeff)] featherfalling

[GM] featherfalling himself!

[Arkady (James)] That's why Praxis will dive after the two, and we'll cast FF on Praxis.

[GM] got it.

[Lia (Angie)] Try for the carpet!

[GM] Okay, Roger falls most of the way to the tree, then casts featherfall.

[GM] And lands on a branch gracefully.

[GM] Aric, you've got . . . just . . . one . . . chance -- to grab thatcarpet

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Aric would hold his action and wait for Arkady, wouldn't he?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Can't really hold while falling.

[Aric (Brian)] would htat be a tumble check?

[Arkady (James)] Aric would try immediately. That's his way.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Point.

[Defthon (Don)] Aric plays a Stop card.

[GM] Tumble check or Reflex save (*laughs*) . . .

[GM] hm . . .

[GM] Pick whichever one is better for you.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Could be either

[GM] DC 20.

[Aric (Brian)] tumble's +12, reflex is +11

[GM] Would be higher, but you're not wearing much.

[Aric (Brian)] so i'll tumble

[Aric (Brian)] Aric: Tumble: ** MODIFIED BY: SKILL (+1) ** (d20+12+1) [19+12+1] 32

[GM] MAGNIFICENT

[Dralafi (Jared)] NICE ROLL

[Arkady (James)] nice

[Lia (Angie)] WOW

[Lia (Angie)] Color me impressed

[GM] Aric catches one of the ropes on the carpet in the crook of his arm and twists himself on top of the carpet.

[GM] It is now under your control.

[Defthon (Don)] ...pulling Aedean after him?

[GM] how far do you think he fell . . . 100' or so?

[GM] less, probably.

[GM] what's 2 seconds of falling again?

[Dralafi (Jared)] 48

[GM] 50' it is, then.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] 64

[Aedean (Sedlack)] total

[Dralafi (Jared)] you said 48 last time. I was taking notes

[Aedean (Sedlack)] 16+48

[GM] right.

[Dralafi (Jared)] oh.

[Dralafi (Jared)] my badd.

[Aric (Brian)] am i on the carpet with the others?

[GM] So Aric will grab the carpet, then slow down dramatically.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] No, it's just you

[Aric (Brian)] or is it my own carpet?

[GM] No, you're on your own now.

[Arkady (James)] There are no others on the carpet.

[GM] I'm gonna say 80' to avoid damage.

[Lia (Angie)] The rest of us are falling or flying

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Well, it depends on whether he wants to try to catch Aedean

[Dralafi (Jared)] aric: now do the same trick with the dragon.

[GM] Arkady, Aric seems to have things under control.

[Aric (Brian)] can i try to race and catch aedean?

[GM] Not this round.

[GM] For himself, anyway.

[GM] Aedean, however, is really kind of helpless.

[Defthon (Don)] We should at least ascend some to match the wyverns....

[Arkady (James)] If Praxis can continue to dive, and get within 10' of Aedean, Arkady will cast FF on them.

[GM] no prob.

[Arkady (James)] Yes, the carpet will go up 60'.

[GM] Praxis dives to get near Aedean.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Phew

[Arkady (James)] So carpet altitude is now 470'.

[Arkady (James)] The carpet was creeping across the screen.

[GM] it was the easiest way to manage it.

[Arkady (James)] It looked alive.

[Arkady (James)] So that's it for Arkady's turn.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] My turn, huh?

[GM] ok

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Let's see...how far did I fall before FF?

[GM] I'm gonna say 100 ft.

[GM] No carpet.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Okay.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] After this round, I'll be at 130'.

[GM] there we go.

[GM] ok

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I cast Magic Circle v. Evil on myself

[James] Praxis will grab onto Aedean when he can, to make sure he doesn't get out of range of the FF.

[GM] ok who else gets bonuses?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Anyone who gets within 10' of me, while the duration lasts

[James] So that would be Praxis, and that's about it.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] For now, yes

[GM] ok

[GM] Shottamip.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] But I'm hoping someone will bring a carpet around to pick me up.

[Praxis (James)] BTW, you may now call me 'Stuka' if you like.

[GM] hehe

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Stuka?

[GM] An honorary member of the Luftwelffe.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Ah

[GM] FOOM

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Fireball, empowered: creates a 40-foot fireball at the desired location for ((10d6)*3/2) [((3+1+2+3+3+3+2+2+3+3))*3/2] 37 damage to each creature in the area (Reflex save for half damage, DC 19)

[GM] Wyvern: Reflex: 26

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Caster Level Check: (1d20+11) [13+11] 24

[GM] Green Dragon: Reflex: 32

[James] Did Shot beat the SR?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] ?Didn't 25 fail to beat the SR before?

[GM] No, that was something else.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Okay

[GM] SHottamip injures the wyvern and dragon.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Shottamip: Stalk: makes the target invisible for the next 11 minutes

[GM] Def

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Invisible treetop artillery reporting for duty.

[Don] Defthon targets Wyvern. Distance: 91'01"

[James] Dragon, go for the dragon

[Defthon (Don)] and I'm 20' above him to

[Defthon (Don)] That'll put me at more than one RI. Unlikely to succeed.

[James] ok

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** longbow/GMW arrow [b] hits AC: ((d20+9+2+4+1)) [(3+9+2+4+1)] 19

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon's attack of 19 (probably) hits Wyvern

[GM] dam

[Defthon (Don)] Defthon: Damage 2: ** MODIFIED BY: DAMAGE (+1) ** longbow/GMW arrow [b] does ((1d8+3+3+1)) [(1+3+3+1)] 8 points of damage.

[GM] WYVERN DOWN

[Defthon (Don)] yee-ha.

[James] yess!!

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Memo to self: I no longer derive either of the primary benefits from Prot. Evil/Mag. Circle v. Evil

[Defthon (Don)] Now to investigate why KW thinks my AC is 4.

[GM] vel

[Dralafi (Jared)] griffin goes up, vaguely wyvernly.

[GM] ok

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I think it's clear what Velkyna Dragonslayer would shoot at

[James] she gets two shots this round.

[Dralafi (Jared)] with a huge height difference and an 80' range incrememnt Im not sure its worth it

[Aedean (Sedlack)] But this is Vel

[GM] Don -- it's fixed now.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] What height are you at?

[Defthon (Don)] Yup, just fixed it.

[GM] Actually, vel's pretty sensible.

[GM] She'd bank and give Drak a couple of good shots.

[GM] Dral, rather

[Defthon (Don)] It was not handling the dollarsign variables for AC.

[Dralafi (Jared)] ask the dm. how high do we get?

[GM] If you mostly just climb?

[GM] 10' forward, 35' up.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] So, 285'

[James] Arkady targets Wyvern. Distance: 90'09"

[Jared] Velkyna targets Wyvern. Distance: 45'01"

[Dralafi (Jared)] so, chris, whats the actual range?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] -4

[GM] ok

[GM] take your shot.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Velkyna: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] hits AC: ((d20+19+1)) [(20+19+1)] 40 [POSSIBLE CRITICAL HIT (x2)] Rolling again...

[Dralafi (Jared)] Velkyna's attack of 40 (probably) hits Wyvern [PROBABLY A CRITICAL HIT]

[GM] roll damage.

[GM] (double)

[Dralafi (Jared)] double 20s.

[Dralafi (Jared)] should get more ;)

[Roger (Jeff)] HOLY COW

[Defthon (Don)] Arkady: if you get us about 20' horz closer to the dragon, I'm safely inside my range increment.

[GM] heh.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Way to blow a 19

[Dralafi (Jared)] Velkyna: Damage 2: ** MODIFIED BY: DAMAGE (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] does ((1d8+3+1)) [(4+3+1)] 8 points of damage.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Velkyna: Damage 2: ** MODIFIED BY: DAMAGE (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] does ((1d8+3+1)) [(6+3+1)] 10 points of damage.

[James] But remember, it is coming at us anyway.

[Defthon (Don)] Boy howdy, Vel.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yeah, but the reroll was anoth 19

[GM] ok, nice shot.

[Dralafi (Jared)] second shot

[GM] fire (reload) fire.

[GM] right.

[Dralafi (Jared)] Velkyna: Attack 2: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+1) ** Light Crossbow (GMW) [b] hits AC: ((d20+14+1)) [(1+14+1)] 16 [CRITICAL MISS]

[GM] Vel drops the crossbow.

[Defthon (Don)] reroll wasn't a 19---it was a 20

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Heh.

[Defthon (Don)] yeah rilly.

[Defthon (Don)] Tied to her belt and all that, yes?

[GM] Actually, check that.

[GM] We already did one bow drop.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Oops. My badd.

[GM] Time for a string break.

[Defthon (Don)] D'oh!

[GM] CROSSBOW DOWN.

[Dralafi (Jared)] joes gonna kill me.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Joe will be "pleased"

[Lia (Angie)] Joy

[Dralafi (Jared)] remember: we distract with the double 20s first.

[James] That was only Vel's first crit miss, right?

[GM] wyvern charges the higher carpet.

[GM] Yep. I'm being vaguely crue.

[GM] cruel.

[Dralafi (Jared)] its almost dead. just hit it.

[Defthon (Don)] You may be eaten by a crue.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] I can mend it later, it'll be good as new.

[GM] wyvern charges the lower carpet.

[GM] With Aric

[Aedean (Sedlack)] You may be eaten by Mo:ley Cru:e

[Defthon (Don)] Arkady: that previous message I sent? NEVERMIND.

[James] Heh, yeah.

[GM] Green dragon banks and begins moving toward the other carpet.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] which is "the other carpet"?

[GM] sorry, the gryphon

[Dralafi (Jared)] oh good. hey vel: leap off and smack it aric-style. live up to the name

[Defthon (Don)] DANGER WILL ROBINSON

[Aric (Brian)] ooh, a cone. that's bad

[Defthon (Don)] DANGER! DANGER!

[GM] ok first the wyvern charging arkady/defthon

[Dralafi (Jared)] Good thing we can make reflex saves.

[Dralafi (Jared)] oh wait.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Hey, dragon! Come breathe on me! I dare you!

[GM] it attempts to bite and sting arkady.

[James] nice

[GM] sux to be in front

[GM] Wyvern: Attack: Bite hits AC: 15

[GM] Wyvern's attack of 15 misses Arkady

[GM] Wyvern: Attack: Sting hits AC: 26

[GM] Wyvern's attack of 26 (probably) hits Arkady

[GM] Wyvern: Damage: Sting does 8 points of damage.

[GM] fortitude save for Arkady, pls.

[James] Arkady: Fortitude: (d20+8) [8+8] 16

[GM] Arkady takes 9 temporary con damage from the stinger's poison.

[GM] He'll take more soon if he isn't cured.

[James] Ahhhh!!!!!!!

[Defthon (Don)] Zoinks!

[GM] Arkady's hit points adjusted to 50 (-8) - Lightly Wounded

[Aedean (Sedlack)] What about the other 3 wyverns?

[Defthon (Don)] "Cured" meaning what exactly?

[James] Do I adjust HP now too?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yes.

[Roger (Jeff)] Yess... stay in formation

[James] so I go from +2 to -3, so that 5*10 HP lost, right?

[GM] yes

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yep.

[James] So I'm at zero.

[Roger (Jeff)] !

[GM] arkady is unconscious from the ravages of the poison.

[GM] semiconcscious, rather.

[GM] he can still take some partial actions.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Actually, you can't have Con penalties drop you below 1HP/level

[Aedean (Sedlack)] So he only loses 48

[GM] Good point.

[GM] Arkady is not unconscious, just very close.

[James] Ah.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Putting him at 2/10

[James] Arkady's hit points adjusted by -48 to 2.

Green Dragon breathes noxious acidic gas for 29 damage with a save DC of 22

[Aedean (Sedlack)] It's bad to be poisoned and 340 feet above the cleric

[Defthon (Don)] Poison and disease are different, right?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yes

[Green Dragon] yes

[GM] Gryphon: Reflex: 22

[GM] gryphon makes his save.

[Defthon (Don)] D'oh!

[GM] Vel does not (hehe)

[Defthon (Don)] Poor Joe.

[Dralafi (Jared)] we'll use sedlacks roll!

[GM] but takes only 1/2 damage anyway

[GM] Because she's that cool.

[Velkyna (Jared)] That all you got, dragon?

Green Dragon looks startled, so far as you can tell.

[GM] The dragon is activating an item of some sort.

[Dralafi (Jared)] is that 14 points or 15?

[GM] 14

[GM] Spellcraft checks for those in the vicinity.

[Jared] Dralafi's hit points adjusted by -14 to 40.

[Jared] Velkyna's hit points adjusted by -14 to 72.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I assume I'm too far away...

[GM] yeah...

[Roger (Jeff)] Evocation, conjuration, or other?

[GM] Anyone in range got a dispel or some such readied?

[Dralafi (Jared)] bah. we can take him. pussy dragon.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Fucker.

[James] no, I'm out

[Roger (Jeff)] He's trying to port away!

[GM] 71

[Aedean (Sedlack)] wusswusswuss

[GM] The green dragon teleports away.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] wusswusswuss

[Dralafi (Jared)] Vel leaps and rips the helm off the dragon. She doesn't believe in that crap

[GM] Lia

[James] What's Lia's altitude now?

[GM] 210 ft

[Lia (Angie)] Can I change target?

[GM] yes

[Angie] Lia targets Lia. Distance: 0'00"

[GM] hehe

[Jared] Dralafi targets Wyvern. Distance: 47'03"

[GM] what are you trying tot arget?

[Angie] Lia targets Wyvern. Distance: 5'00"

[GM] More than that, obviously, due to 20' of vertical distance between you.

[GM] crap

[GM] I forgot to have the wyvern attack Aric.

[GM] jas

[GM] Wyvern: Attack: Bite hits AC: 20

[GM] Wyvern's attack of 20 misses Aric

[GM] Wyvern: Attack: Sting hits AC: 22

[GM] Wyvern's attack of 22 misses Aric

[GM] ok

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+2) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+15+2)) [(6+15+2)] 23

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 23 (probably) hits Wyvern

[GM] damage

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Damage 2: * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] does ((1d8+8)) [(2+8)] 10 points of damage.

[Velkyna (Joe)] hey i'm back.

[Joe] I am back at the keyboard.

[Roger (Jeff)] JOE!

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Hey, Joe.

[Aric (Brian)] jared broke your xbow

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Oh you missed all the awesomeness.

[Dralafi (Jared)] joe, you got breathed on by a dragon.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Jared broke your bowstring and failed at a Ref save

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Aric tackled the nightflyer.

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 2: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+2) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+10+2)) [(7+10+2)] 19

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 19 (probably) hits Wyvern

[Velkyna (Joe)] I am so fucking sure.

[James] But Vel just sucked it up, and spit in the dragon's eye.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Jared's never rolling my dice again. ;P

[Dralafi (Jared)] on the upside though, you attacked a wyvern and rolled consecutive 20s for a nice critical

[Velkyna (Joe)] Sweet.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yeah, I rolled a 36 for the save

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Damage 2: * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] does ((1d8+8)) [(6+8)] 14 points of damage.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Wait, I FAILED A REFLEX SAVE?

[Lia (Angie)] (1d6) [6] 6

[Velkyna (Joe)] THAT SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yep. He rolled a 1, DC was 22

[Lia (Angie)] Additional fire damage

[Dralafi (Jared)] so, you know, you got 2 20s, a 1, and a 1

[GM] right

[Dralafi (Jared)] that averages out ok ;)

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Attack 1: ** MODIFIED BY: ATTACK (+2) ** * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] hits AC: ((d20+15+2)) [(3+15+2)] 20

[Lia (Angie)] Lia's attack of 20 (probably) hits Wyvern

[Velkyna (Joe)] So we still have the nightflyer ... what else is up?

[GM] damage

[Lia (Angie)] Lia: Damage 2: * MC longbow (+3GMWarr) [t] does ((1d8+8)) [(1+8)] 9 points of damage.

[GM] Aedean

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Let's see...

[Aedean (Sedlack)] All the wyverns are now way far away from me

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I guess I fall 60 feet and cast Divine Favor on myself

[GM] ok

[GM] You're nearing the treetops.

[GM] Shottamip

[Shottamip (Tamora)] Only 3 wyverns left?

[Dralafi (Jared)] Artillery strike.

[GM] they've been hit

[Defthon (Don)] and is now dead.

[Shottamip (Tamora)] You're very welcome.

[Defthon (Don)] Hm.

[Velkyna (Joe)] so that's it then?

[James] Arkady targets Arkady. Distance: 0'00"

[GM] You spend the next few rounds collecting fallen people and head back to Nailoglas, flush with victory.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Vel restrings her crossbow.

[Arkady (James)] Or in Arkady's case, flush with poison.

[GM] I need 5 mins to recover. You will get 1 day off; figure out how to heal everybody and suchlike.

[Velkyna (Joe)] (Joe glares at Jared)

[Aedean (Sedlack)] At least I put one spell to good use, maybe 2

[Roger (Jeff)] Roger had a lot of fun this time out

[Shottamip (Tamora)] If you don't want to just dump the string, I have this nice little cantrip..

[Aedean (Sedlack)] I assume Arkady anti-toxin'd himself.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Vel's got, like, five spare strings or something.

[Arkady (James)] That just gives a +5 to my fort save.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Does that repair the damage, or just prevent the secondary damage

[Velkyna (Joe)] All in the haversack o' stuff.

[Arkady (James)] I was assuming there might be further fort checks.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Ah. Then, first thing, Aedean should try to treat the poison

[Arkady (James)] ... for further poison damage.

[Velkyna (Joe)] So you think this was all worth 490 XP?

[Dralafi (Jared)] I frikking hope so.

[Lia (Angie)] chances are

[Velkyna (Joe)] FINALLY

[Velkyna (Joe)] I'll be off updating the charsheet while Mike's reshting.

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Battle's over, so Aedean can take 10 on a Heal check, and you'll be all good.

[Arkady (James)] Well, he made his heal check, so Arkady doesn't take further poison damage, right?

[Aedean (Sedlack)] Yep

[Velkyna (Joe)] I seem to recall you mentioning two sessions ago when we killed the first nightwalker that this one was worth 2600 or so each.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Or "would be".

[GM] shit

[GM] That's wrong

[Defthon (Don)] he forgot the nightwing! :)

[GM] I undercalcluted.

[James] Arkady's hit points adjusted by 50 to 58.

[Master] Did we end up using spells or wands for that?

[Defthon (Don)] For what?

[Sedlack] For what?

[James] for the curing up? I was going to use spells, unless we were going to see more action today...

[Sedlack] Arkady got auto-healed when his con came back

[Master] Ah.

[Master] Makes sense.

[James] oh, well then

[Sedlack] And he could only go up to 10 before that

[Sedlack] He was down 2, but that's easily handled

[Master] Right.

[James] ok

[Defthon (Don)] There was a whole day in there, I could've just lay-on-handsed the 2 HP.

[Master] Right.

[Master] It was 8 hp, but the principle is sound.

[Aric (Brian)] you're back to master again

[Sedlack] Or I could have cast 2 level 0 cures

[Master] (yeah, me not being "Master" seems to induce instability.)

[James] So did Aedean have time to do the lesser restorations?

[Sedlack] He was already partially healed in battle

[Master] oh right.

[Sedlack] Sure, they're level 2, so I could have done up to 6 of them in a day, if the need had been there

[Sedlack] I figured 5 would do it, and it only took 4

[Master] ok, after some nice bathing and resting and suchlike, you find yourselves in Laucian Nailo's office.

[Defthon (Don)] *sigh*

[Master] Laucian Nailo, the head of Nailoglas, more or less the warleader for 1/3 of the elves alive.

[Master] Master mage.

[Master] You met him last session.

[Defthon (Don)] Yes, yes. I'm well aware.

[Defthon (Don)] The joke there, which fell totally flat, was: Arkady puts on a disguise, rolls a 51....

[Master] oh sorry.

[Defthon (Don)] I say...

[Defthon (Don)] right.

[Master] Yes, I missed my wis check there.

[Sedlack] Aedean: WIS check: (d20+6) [12+6] 18

[Master] check in please?

[Roger (Jeff)] here

[Sedlack] here

[Defthon (Don)] ALOHA

[Velkyna (Joe)] here

[Arkady (James)] Gold 3 reporting in

[Lia (Angie)] check

[Shottamip (Tamora)] aye

[Aric (Brian)] Red Leader this is Gold Leader.

[Arkady (James)] Chris: uncheck the sleep thingy

[Sedlack] I am back at the keyboard.

[Sedlack] My badd

[Master] ...and Jared's on the phone.

[Master] Fortunately, Dral's not much of a talker.

[Master] Laucian spreads out a map of Serendair.

Laucian Nailo points to the elven lands in the southeast

[Laucian Nailo] Here you see the borderlands, where we fight for the survival of the elven people.

[Laucian Nailo] To our south is Xian, where the ancestor-worshippers make their sacrifices and wait for one of those who came before to apotheose.

[Defthon (Don)] (OOC these pics are also available on my serendair page)

[Laucian Nailo] Then the twin lands of Ryle and Envap, sinking into despotism, despair, and debauchery.

[Sedlack] Those bloody Xians

[Shottamip (Tamora)] ooc: Well, there are plenty of elves out in the rest of the world, so if these die off, no big loss.

[Velkyna (Joe)] Mmmmm ... debauchery.

[Laucian Nailo] So we here are alone, against the orcs.

Laucian Nailo 's finger traces along the shoreline.

[Defthon (Don)] OOC great word "apotheose"

[Aric (Brian)] You might say it's a hive of scum and villany.

[Sedlack] If they have gambling, I'm there

[Laucian Nailo] The sea elves are few in number and have their own fights against the locanths and other evils of the waters.

[Laucian Nailo] But they still have mastery over the shipping lanes which reach past the Orcish wastelands.

[Laucian Nailo] Those lanes converge . . . here.

Laucian Nailo points to a dot on the map representing a human city just north of the orcish wastelands

[Laucian Nailo] Czina. Some of you passed through there before.

[Sedlack] In a manner of speaking, yes

[Arkady (James)] Yeah, it was a real mess last time. We didn't stop to sight-see.

[Laucian Nailo] At the mouth of the mighty Undoru river, situated in a deep-water port and protected bay,

[Laucian Nailo] Czina is prevented from becoming a great power only by the poor quality of the soils in her area.

[Laucian Nailo] So instead she is a city-state, a bastion of wealth and trade. And she is our link to the human lands.

[Laucian Nailo] I need you to go to Czina and open it up for commerce.

[Defthon (Don)] How is it closed?

Laucian Nailo taps the map.

[Laucian Nailo] Czina accepts no ships from our lands, despite ancient accords.

[Defthon (Don)] OOC where on the map is he tapping? I can't find it---too blurry

[Laucian Nailo] The sea elves have ceased trying.

[Master] There's no point on that map; I'm gonna have to draw some new ones.

[Defthon (Don)] Interesting. Do we think the triumvirate is involved, or is this likely an independent problem?

[Sedlack] The city was recently in a state of severe unrest
