[Wed Apr 3 20:28:01 2013] : Waltham: nah, I'm good :)
[Wed Apr 3 20:28:13 2013] : Miriam: ooc Pulverized!
[Wed Apr 3 20:28:26 2013] : DM: The remaining skeletons don't stand a chance
[Wed Apr 3 20:29:05 2013] : Trantor: ooc so it's like this, last week we almost got TPKd by two skeletons... in the entrance chamber, so on encountering more bad guys in the main chamber, we went all buffed up (as you would)...
[Wed Apr 3 20:29:28 2013] : Trantor: ooc not sure what on earth is going on with my punctuation there
[Wed Apr 3 20:29:29 2013] : DM: 535 XP each.
[Wed Apr 3 20:29:53 2013] : Trantor: "Rowr?"
[Wed Apr 3 20:30:08 2013] : Waltham: ooc it's because you've got me here as well, for moral support and overkill of mooks
[Wed Apr 3 20:30:12 2013] : Vaddyn: ooc oh c'mon, it's all because you were really really inspired to victory
[Wed Apr 3 20:30:28 2013] : Trantor: Trantor looks as quizical as a 10 foot high raptor is capable of looking
[Wed Apr 3 20:31:19 2013] : Miriam: ooc So Aeleva is trying the key now, I guess
[Wed Apr 3 20:31:21 2013] : Vaddyn: "So, this key..."
[Wed Apr 3 20:32:57 2013] : Miriam: "And that lock there ..."
[Wed Apr 3 20:34:28 2013] : DM: GAME END
[Wed Apr 3 20:34:50 2013] : DM: Arol is too over powered and its really annoying me.
[Wed Apr 3 20:35:59 2013] : Trantor: I see your point
[Wed Apr 3 20:36:01 2013] : DM: Waltham's guns are unbalanced as well.
[Wed Apr 3 20:36:11 2013] : Trantor: I've mentioned it before myself
[Wed Apr 3 20:36:29 2013] : Waltham: David: is it the touch attack part that's a problem?
[Wed Apr 3 20:36:39 2013] : Miriam: Yes, Arol is like an army all on his own. Which is fine for power gamers
[Wed Apr 3 20:37:36 2013] : DM: Henry, I think so. To have touch attack with similar damage to a regular attack seems wrong to me.
[Wed Apr 3 20:37:37 2013] : Trantor: To be fair, he has magic fang, and bardsong applied to those rolls
[Wed Apr 3 20:38:00 2013] : Miriam: Rage - Miriam is now angry and attacks with full force (raging)
[Wed Apr 3 20:38:49 2013] : Vaddyn: now now, miriam, its a fair point :)
[Wed Apr 3 20:39:03 2013] : Miriam: LOL
[Wed Apr 3 20:39:08 2013] : Waltham: David: I think the "checks and balances" on that are that it's only within the first range increment, and the reload time
[Wed Apr 3 20:39:15 2013] : Miriam: Sorry about that
[Wed Apr 3 20:40:27 2013] : Vaddyn: I assume most of your guns are 'single shot' type affairs, needing powder etc to reload?
[Wed Apr 3 20:40:38 2013] : Waltham: yep
[Wed Apr 3 20:41:06 2013] : DM: Not that Arol let's a combat last more than 1 round.
[Wed Apr 3 20:41:10 2013] : Vaddyn: essentially powder-based heavy crossbow-esque
[Wed Apr 3 20:41:20 2013] : Waltham: but then I've taken feats etc to get the pistol reloading time down to 1 move action
[Wed Apr 3 20:41:41 2013] : DM: GAME START
[Wed Apr 3 20:42:09 2013] : DM: Aeleva slots the key into the key hole and turns. There's a grinding noise and the beir slowly slides to one side.
[Wed Apr 3 20:42:15 2013] : Waltham: (whispering): Current status: 1 pistol loaded, 1 musket, 2 shots in pepperbox
[Wed Apr 3 20:42:49 2013] : DM: A narrow steep staircase decends into the the ground.
[Wed Apr 3 20:43:09 2013] : Waltham: "Wait a moment; I'd like to reload my guns please!"
[Wed Apr 3 20:43:11 2013] : Miriam: Miriam looks on, as her rage leaves her
[Wed Apr 3 20:43:15 2013] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn stops performing. Bardsong effect ends.
[Wed Apr 3 20:44:02 2013] : Miriam: "Take your time, Waltham, I need to catch my breath"
[Wed Apr 3 20:44:07 2013] : DM: A heavy stench of decay and mold assaults your noses.
[Wed Apr 3 20:44:31 2013] : Waltham: Waltham sits quietly and reloads the pepperbox, making sure that the gun is ready to fire
[Wed Apr 3 20:44:34 2013] : DM: Arol seems uneasy.
[Wed Apr 3 20:44:47 2013] : Waltham: ooc also, that 1 on the last shot: that's a misfire, so the pepperbox now has the "damaged" condition
[Wed Apr 3 20:45:09 2013] : Trantor: Trantor tries to calm him (but looks like a dinosaur)
[Wed Apr 3 20:45:16 2013] : Trantor: Handle Companion: [1d20(3) + 11] = 14
[Wed Apr 3 20:45:34 2013] : DM: Failure. Arol retreats away from the stairs.

[Wed Apr 3 20:46:20 2013] : Vaddyn: Handle Animal: [1d20(6) + 14] = 20
[Wed Apr 3 20:46:54 2013] : DM: Arol is calmed enough so he does not flee.
[Wed Apr 3 20:47:11 2013] : Waltham: ooc get in there you big hairy animal, I don't care what you smell!
[Wed Apr 3 20:47:16 2013] : Vaddyn: ooc lol
[Wed Apr 3 20:47:18 2013] : Trantor: ooc LOL
[Wed Apr 3 20:47:58 2013] : Miriam: ooc LOL
[Wed Apr 3 20:48:44 2013] : DM: What next?
[Wed Apr 3 20:49:10 2013] : Waltham: "Right, I'm ready. Just keep clear: this gun's a little dirty now."
[Wed Apr 3 20:49:31 2013] : Vaddyn: "Can't you clean it?"
[Wed Apr 3 20:49:58 2013] : Waltham: "Given enough time..."
[Wed Apr 3 20:50:01 2013] : Trantor: Light: Level 0 -
[Wed Apr 3 20:50:03 2013] : Waltham: ooc looking up cleaning times
[Wed Apr 3 20:50:23 2013] : Vaddyn: ooc I can cast Mending
[Wed Apr 3 20:50:38 2013] : Miriam: "The artefact has been here for years, it can wait a couple of minutes longer"
[Wed Apr 3 20:50:45 2013] : Trantor: Trantor casts light on his talon as low-light vision is probably not enough down there
[Wed Apr 3 20:50:48 2013] : Waltham: ooc I can actually clear it as a standard action, so it's OK
[Wed Apr 3 20:50:56 2013] : Vaddyn: ooc ok then
[Wed Apr 3 20:51:38 2013] : Waltham: "Shall we see what's down there?"

[Wed Apr 3 20:52:35 2013] : Vaddyn: Dancing Lights: Level 0 - Creates up to four lights, all within a 10-ft. radius area, within 130ft of the caster

[Wed Apr 3 20:53:54 2013] : Miriam: Miriam just looks down, not caring about the light(s)
[Wed Apr 3 20:54:20 2013] : DM: The stairs decend 50'
[Wed Apr 3 20:54:34 2013] : Miriam: "It's a long way down"
[Wed Apr 3 20:54:43 2013] : Waltham: "Well, we might have to get down there. Anyone want to go first?"
[Wed Apr 3 20:54:55 2013] : Miriam: "Sure, why not?"
[Wed Apr 3 20:55:10 2013] : DM: Then open into some sort of chamber but you can't see more.
[Wed Apr 3 20:55:16 2013] : Miriam: Miriam holds her hammer as she starts to descend
[Wed Apr 3 20:55:31 2013] : Waltham: Waltham follows straight behind
[Wed Apr 3 20:55:44 2013] : DM: The stairs are steep and the ceiling is narrow. Climb checks to decend.

[Wed Apr 3 21:04:34 2013] : DM: The runes are an old writing from a long dead tribe that used to live near in the north. They are words that you could decipher with some study (or a suitable spell).

[Wed Apr 3 21:18:43 2013] : DM: All three symbols are part of the key.

[Wed Apr 3 21:20:50 2013] : whispering to Miriam, Regan as a book with the legend of the artifact etc. Perhaps that has clues.
[Wed Apr 3 21:20:56 2013] : Miriam: ooc It's just Waltham that doesn't know
[Wed Apr 3 21:21:21 2013] : Miriam: "Would Regan know, perhaps?"

[Wed Apr 3 21:24:19 2013] : Vaddyn: ooc not a bare behind?
[Wed Apr 3 21:24:39 2013] : DM: ooc no, the animal
[Wed Apr 3 21:24:47 2013] : Vaddyn: ooc ok

[Wed Apr 3 21:32:27 2013] : Miriam: Miriam gets a couple of ropes from her backpack, ties them together, and finds a place to fasten them to
[Wed Apr 3 21:32:58 2013] : Vaddyn: ooc does Comprehend languages cover animals?
[Wed Apr 3 21:33:10 2013] : DM: Trantor flaps his claws hands about in a strange manner that no one can understand.
[Wed Apr 3 21:33:25 2013] : Trantor: Trantor writes in the dust on the floor
[Wed Apr 3 21:33:32 2013] : Trantor: "I'll wait here!"
[Wed Apr 3 21:34:28 2013] : DM: Regan is waiting outside and she has the book with her.
[Wed Apr 3 21:34:38 2013] : Vaddyn: ooc through a series of mental images, I'm now picturing him with a Stephen Hawking style voice box
[Wed Apr 3 21:35:00 2013] : DM: The book mentions the joining of three groups under the banner of their respective gods.

[Wed Apr 3 21:42:14 2013] : DM: Or something symbolic of each of the three.
[Wed Apr 3 21:43:01 2013] : Miriam: "I have a bow and a hammer, but no gems"
[Wed Apr 3 21:43:10 2013] : Miriam: "Or axe, rather"
[Wed Apr 3 21:45:07 2013] : Vaddyn: "We have a few bows, The fort should have a pickaxe so then we just need two people hugging?"
[Wed Apr 3 21:45:22 2013] : Miriam: "We can manage that, if need be"
[Wed Apr 3 21:45:31 2013] : Waltham: "Some symbol of love, perhaps."
[Wed Apr 3 21:47:07 2013] : Miriam: "So find the symbols, place them in front of the door, have some people hug"

[Wed Apr 3 21:47:42 2013] : Trantor: Trantor writes in the dust
[Wed Apr 3 21:47:48 2013] : Trantor: "Try now..."
[Wed Apr 3 21:47:48 2013] : Regan: "The Huntress would favour a token from a hunt. Perhaps a fur or horn of a particular tough creature to hunt?"
[Wed Apr 3 21:48:30 2013] : Trantor: Trantor returns to Human form.
[Wed Apr 3 21:48:31 2013] : Vaddyn: "So, a tribute to each God?"
[Wed Apr 3 21:48:32 2013] : Miriam: "Like a poisoned club?"
[Wed Apr 3 21:48:37 2013] : Trantor: "OK..."
[Wed Apr 3 21:48:59 2013] : Trantor: Try as I might, we can't get stuff out of this bag if it's part of me"
[Wed Apr 3 21:49:19 2013] : Trantor: Trantor fishes out the goat horn from the chimera
[Wed Apr 3 21:49:32 2013] : Trantor: "Would this chimera horn do, do you think?"
[Wed Apr 3 21:49:33 2013] : Waltham: "Now there's an idea"
[Wed Apr 3 21:49:55 2013] : Regan: ooc Hah. /me crosses encounter off the list. ;)
[Wed Apr 3 21:50:06 2013] : Miriam: ooc LOL
[Wed Apr 3 21:50:10 2013] : Vaddyn: "Excellent idea"
[Wed Apr 3 21:50:56 2013] : Miriam: "One down"
[Wed Apr 3 21:51:31 2013] : Trantor: "Maybe the hammer is enough without the pick?"
[Wed Apr 3 21:51:56 2013] : Trantor: ooc I have a feeling we grabbed a pick when we went down the mines
[Wed Apr 3 21:52:16 2013] : Trantor: ooc or was that a different game? :-/
[Wed Apr 3 21:52:17 2013] : Regan: The symbol on the door doesn't show tools.
[Wed Apr 3 21:52:41 2013] : Vaddyn: ooc I have that black gemstone that was the lich's phylachtery
[Wed Apr 3 21:53:08 2013] : Trantor: Trantor empties out the bag of holding
[Wed Apr 3 21:53:23 2013] : Vaddyn: ooc not sure if a god would appreciate something so nasty even if its a gem
[Wed Apr 3 21:53:25 2013] : Trantor: "OK, black stone, this ring we got earlier..."
[Wed Apr 3 21:53:46 2013] : Vaddyn: "Could be a wedding ring"
[Wed Apr 3 21:54:04 2013] : Trantor: ooc it's worth 750 gp
[Wed Apr 3 21:54:37 2013] : Regan: ooc it as a gemstone set on it.
[Wed Apr 3 21:55:03 2013] : DM: It looks a bit fancy for a wedding ring.
[Wed Apr 3 21:55:10 2013] : Vaddyn: ooc I think the phylactery was well wrapped up and kept in my pack
[Wed Apr 3 21:57:33 2013] : Trantor: ooc OK
[Wed Apr 3 21:57:50 2013] : Vaddyn: ooc IIRC trantor wouldn't go near it
[Wed Apr 3 21:58:39 2013] : DM: ooc I would try the non-evil ring first
[Wed Apr 3 21:59:05 2013] : Vaddyn: ooc yes
[Wed Apr 3 22:00:30 2013] : Vaddyn: "So how do we handle the last symbol?"
[Wed Apr 3 22:00:35 2013] : DM: Now you just need something for symbol two.
[Wed Apr 3 22:01:24 2013] : Waltham: "Wouldn't a wedding ring work as a symbol of love?"
[Wed Apr 3 22:02:56 2013] : Miriam: "You would think so"
[Wed Apr 3 22:03:51 2013] : Waltham: ooc time for me to sleep I'm afraid - meetings all day tomorrow
[Wed Apr 3 22:03:56 2013] : Waltham: ooc nn all
[Wed Apr 3 22:04:10 2013] : Waltham: ooc definitely NOT here next week; should be around the following week
[Wed Apr 3 22:04:13 2013] : Waltham (exit): 22:04
[Wed Apr 3 22:04:16 2013] : Miriam: ooc Goodnight and sweet dreams
[Wed Apr 3 22:04:26 2013] : DM: GAME END
[Wed Apr 3 22:04:40 2013] : Miriam: A fight and a puzzle: sweet
[Wed Apr 3 22:04:47 2013] : Miriam: Thank you, David
[Wed Apr 3 22:05:24 2013] : DM: Not sure I'd call it a fight
[Wed Apr 3 22:06:21 2013] : Vaddyn: :(
[Wed Apr 3 22:06:56 2013] : Miriam: Too bad you didn't get the chance to involve those four in the corners
[Wed Apr 3 22:07:02 2013] : Trantor: I appreciate your concerns David, I've brought them up myself before...
[Wed Apr 3 22:07:18 2013] : Trantor: But there were several things that led to that issue
[Wed Apr 3 22:07:24 2013] : Trantor: 1) We buffed
[Wed Apr 3 22:07:34 2013] : Trantor: 2) he was at close range
[Wed Apr 3 22:07:46 2013] : Trantor: 3) We got a surprise round
[Wed Apr 3 22:08:03 2013] : Trantor: He was minus at least 49 HP before Arol touched him
[Wed Apr 3 22:09:15 2013] : Miriam: I'm not sure how early I'll be next week, since by then we'll have switched to winter time, so that means starting at 6 am for me
[Wed Apr 3 22:09:59 2013] : Trantor: We've seen these things happen before, and the reverse where a badly prepped party with poor rolls gets wiped out, or very nearly
[Wed Apr 3 22:10:05 2013] : DM: It's not just this one encounter where Arol and you in cheese form does all the work.
[Wed Apr 3 22:11:26 2013] : Trantor: As I say, I've raised concerns about unbalancing the party before...
[Wed Apr 3 22:11:40 2013] : Trantor: At the time you didn't agree
[Wed Apr 3 22:12:11 2013] : Trantor: If you felt that things had changed, I'd have gladly taken your comments on board and looked for a solution
[Wed Apr 3 22:12:35 2013] : Trantor: I'm not here to take all the action
[Wed Apr 3 22:15:47 2013] : Miriam: With Arol it isn't that he always wins the day, but when he gets his claws in, he obliterates the enemy
[Wed Apr 3 22:16:38 2013] : DM: Arol is getting his intelligence reduced to 2. He will be restricted to the standard set of tricks suitable for his new Int and your level.
[Wed Apr 3 22:16:58 2013] : Trantor: That's fine
[Wed Apr 3 22:17:17 2013] : Trantor: Though it doesn't really resolve this issue
[Wed Apr 3 22:18:16 2013] : DM: You will require handle animal checks which take amove action to direct Arol.
[Wed Apr 3 22:18:30 2013] : DM: You will need to be human form to issue commands.
[Wed Apr 3 22:19:17 2013] : DM: Or if not in human form you must be able to speak and will take the check at a penalty.
[Wed Apr 3 22:20:22 2013] : Trantor: All fine
[Wed Apr 3 22:21:01 2013] : DM: With those. probably don't need the Int reduction.
[Wed Apr 3 22:21:05 2013] : Vaddyn: Can anyone (friendly) control arol in the absence of human Trantor?
[Wed Apr 3 22:21:21 2013] : DM: I do like the ability to do inventive commands.
[Wed Apr 3 22:21:26 2013] : Miriam: Guys, I'm off, Rohan is getting his first bath :)
[Wed Apr 3 22:21:37 2013] : Trantor: He will respond according to training in certain circunstances though
[Wed Apr 3 22:21:38 2013] : Vaddyn: g'night/g'day
[Wed Apr 3 22:21:41 2013] : Trantor: Nigh H
[Wed Apr 3 22:21:43 2013] : Miriam: See you next week, goodnight and sweet dreams
[Wed Apr 3 22:21:48 2013] : Trantor: or day
[Wed Apr 3 22:21:49 2013] : Miriam (exit): 22:21
[Wed Apr 3 22:23:00 2013] : DM: Anyone can order a trick.
[Wed Apr 3 22:23:29 2013] : Vaddyn: but we'd have to know how to initiate it in advance?
[Wed Apr 3 22:23:30 2013] : Trantor: I was thinking of swapping characters soonish anyway
[Wed Apr 3 22:23:46 2013] : Vaddyn: Can arol stay? ;)
[Wed Apr 3 22:23:51 2013] : Trantor: I have a stealthy cleric in mind
[Wed Apr 3 22:23:59 2013] : Trantor: Much more support oriented
[Wed Apr 3 22:24:32 2013] : Vaddyn: didn't you play a cleric with 1st level rogue before?
[Wed Apr 3 22:24:35 2013] : Trantor: Which is more to my preference anyway
[Wed Apr 3 22:24:38 2013] : Trantor: I did
[Wed Apr 3 22:24:49 2013] : Trantor: This one is pure cleric though
[Wed Apr 3 22:25:17 2013] : DM: ok
[Wed Apr 3 22:25:40 2013] : Trantor: Again, I understand your issues David
[Wed Apr 3 22:25:59 2013] : Trantor: 'winning' is not why I play
[Wed Apr 3 22:26:32 2013] : Trantor: Just don't let things get you pissed off next time if possible :-)
[Wed Apr 3 22:26:56 2013] : Trantor: I'm happy to work to your rules for your game
[Wed Apr 3 22:27:08 2013] : DM: I don't normally get annoyed.
[Wed Apr 3 22:27:40 2013] : Vaddyn: I was quite surprised
[Wed Apr 3 22:28:54 2013] : Vaddyn: right, I'm wrecked. g'night
[Wed Apr 3 22:28:58 2013] : DM: 'night
[Wed Apr 3 22:29:14 2013] : Trantor: Night all
[Wed Apr 3 22:29:19 2013] : Vaddyn (exit): 22:29
[Wed Apr 3 22:30:02 2013] : Trantor (exit): 22:30
