Topic: Innocence Proves Nothing - Warhammer 40,000
Subject: posted!
The Tech priest who came into view let a auto round blast into the mutant, shuddering him with each impact. The mutant bastard lurched in pain, but seemed ready to leap in a defiant last offensive. Tazi’s laspistol rang short of its goal, and Daggerfall knew his opportunity to shine had arrived. As soon as his target fell into the view of his scope, the slightest twitch of his finger sent forth a blast that would render its spine useless, and it crumpled to the feet of those gathered there, Ghustel looking dismayed at having nothing to hack with his blade. Tazi shot it again to ensure its demise, and Solanis couldn’t help but grin as Tazi mentioned a recount. Not that win or lose in this matter wouldn’t prove equally beneficial to those involved in this game they loved to play, but he enjoyed knowing tonight at least, missions or order’s pending, he’d be the one working the field.
As those around asked questions, and inquired as to the Tech-priest’s well being, Daggerfall gave Tazi’s waist a little squeeze and a smirk before slipping away back around the corner, wanting to check in on the Sergeant. As soon as he and the imperial officer came into view, he lurked back, letting his enhanced hearing pick up what tidbits of conversation he could, without interfering.

I'd been finding it difficult to reconnect with Valberg for awhile, sent some pm's never got replies, and what not, and took it as everyone just sorta got busy with real life, but this little fireball certainly spun my chair round in an excited woohaw! moment of reading. I'm gonna do what I can to get Valberg back into the mix of things by this weekend, if not, consider my posting availability unfit to continue and can go up in said glorious space fireball.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: oh candlesticks... or was it fiddlesticks?
Zorana kept a stern eye on the giant rodent before her, while Silvara went about the task of trying to uncover anything of potential use or value from the rubble strewn about the room, particularly nearby the table upon which the corpse lay. Aside from rotten food and debris, there was little of value or use to be had nearby, though a glint of something shiny in her torchlight gave her pause. Wedged into the heart of the debris was a silver candlestick. She could try to pull it free, but it might dislodge that which was supported atop of it.
The rat, seemingly frightened by the imposing Zorana, took a final chunk of flesh from the arm of the rotting man, before backing away from the women, along the back wall, moving towards where a 2’ tall hole in the base of the wall would allow possible escape.
As it moved, more skittering and scratching could be heard from behind the wall.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Hmmm
Battle raged on and both sides had suffered numerous wounds and were tiring. It was a test of endurance and stamina in a battle of wills as much as strength. The Tent in where the Dire Wolf was attacking Sheva lurched and he howled a victory cry, loping out o the tent with a bloody maw and remnants of a patch of fiery red hair stuck to his lips.
The Lycan gave a great howl, and it seemed to shock the turned wolf from its fear, as it turned to regard its alpha with renewed confidence. Moonshadow, who up till now had been waging an inner war between fighting those she had known as companions, and those of her own kind, was shaken by the powerful, mind affecting Howl of the Lycanthropic leader. Her eyes glazed over and settled into a state of bloodlust, and before the horror-filled eyes of the party, the loyal Coo’shee, joined the ranks of the enemy.
Elesia, on the ball this round, held her action, trying to see where she would best be useful. Aelistae too was quick to react, this time bidding Bart flee while she angled her Court-blade and charged at the lycan leader, determined to end its blasphemous existence. She ran, sprinted, and at the height of her charge went to leap in a downward slash. Her footing was lost on a slick patch of greenery and her weapon flew from her hand as she slid, falling painfully on her backside and landing only a few feet from the largest wolf she had ever seen. (Critical failure sorry!) To make matter’s worse; her armor still burned and scorched her severely the pain wracking her already jolted body. (Aelistae 19/ 39 )
From across the clearing, Elesia gasped, and sprang into motion…
The Werewolf licked its lips hungrily as it prepared to feast finally during this wearying tirade.It snapped its powerful jaw’s down on Aelistae and she felt links of her fine mithral chain shatter under the pressure of the inhumanly powerful strike. Blood flowed freely from her wounds, and to compound matters the Lycan was not through with his prey, it raised a powerful claw to rend the face from Aelistae, but was halted by a brilliant shimmering light. There, before him Elesia stood, her radiant elegance no longer hindered or suppressed. Her white dress fluttered about her of it’s own accord, and from her back appeared large beautiful butterfly like wings of translucent rainbow hues. She spoke the words of the Fae, understandable only to Talus, and into a shimmering green portal she and Aelistae both disappeared.
~*~*
To Aelistae the world which passed by her was filled with the most pure and brilliant hues of nature’s palette she had ever seen. Grass was a greener green, the flowers an explosion of color, even the moonlight, a visible shower of silver radiance. Everything was exemplified to the extreme of the color spectrum as she passed through this familiar, yet previously undiscovered or traveled realm. In a split second, the colors vanished, and pain took her once more, as she lay staring at the moon above, a glance falling upon the opening of the tree-like arena, her and Elesia, still in all her fairy beauty gazing down upon her a look of worry and concern about her face. (Aelistae 1/ 38 hp)
~*~*
Xaris watched Elesia and Aelistae disappear, and his target became clearer still, but as he was charging, he was intercepted by a familiar, once friendly face, as Moonshadow barreled into him, bowling him over, and snapped her teeth narrowly missing the gnome, trapping him under her weight with a snarl. Xaris, already enraged could hardly differentiate friend from foe, and with a great roar of his own, rolled Moonshadow over, and clobbered her with a solid smack of his blade. (Moonshadow -7/ ?? hp)
Linnix meanwhile was still under the duress of the wolf before her, and though she was able to avoid further injury, she could not inflict any upon her opponent either, and the deadly stand off continued.
Artanis helped Talus to his feet, and directed him towards an already moving Elesia, but he denied the much needed aid, and instead moved towards, and up the tree wall to a relative safety, while Artanis moved to aid Linnix in her struggle. Her arrival bore more success, as her blade bit into the wolf, drawing a line of blood from the creature. (-6hp)
Bart had managed to regain his footing, and was backpedaling away from the deadly leader, when the recently motivated wolf once turned by Aelistae lunged at him. Sheer luck saved Bart as he tripped over his formerly dropped pitchfork, sending him down just as the wolf passed overhead, growling and turning to finish the task.
~*~*~*~*
The battle was not fairing well, the companions new it, but there was little they could do now but fight on till the last. As they gathered themselves for another painful exchange of blows, the trees around them began to fill with a dotting of tiny glittering lights, a couple at first, before more and more appeared around the clearing, until over a dozen flittering lights moved throughout the dark trees.

Subject: hehe
So Ive found a new favourite song of mine and it totally inspired me to rush home to update the combat scene, but I need Deuc to post before I can, I'm gonna try and embed the song to play while you read, because frankly, it's just too cool to pass out for our resident super gnome..
If I can't manage to embed it due to bandwidth issues and what not, I'll Just leave the lyrics here.
Everything about this song screams kick ass, and really puts me in a soldier's perspective and while you guys aren't drafted military, I can still totally see Linnix and Xaris or Artanis, or even Aelistae or Bart mentally pumping themselves up for combat with something like this running through their minds to a degree.

Subject: the hitting oneself in the foot this time ...
came from my critical fumble chart which I did up originally for Nomachron years ago you rolled to inflict self damage, I just chose the descriptive flavor text of hitting yourself in the foot, though I know 'shooting oneself in the foot' is a coined phrase as it were, taken from midwestern cowboy days and what not.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: The battle roars on...
The moon hung in the sky like an eager spectator, gazing down into the arena of tree and dirt to watch the gladiatorial event unfold below. Our adventurers were hard pressed, and like cattle they had been herded into this pen of pine and evergreen in preparation for the slaughter. Even though the odds were against them, the stalwart team was determined to fight till the last. They had entered as a group and by the God’s they would do all they could to ensure they left as one.
Elesia felt the bone wand disintegrate into dust through her delicate fingers, but her attention was on aiding those around her and the best way she could do that was to bolster their resolve. It started soft, quiet, unnoticeable beneath the sounds of combat, but soon her voice gathered power behind her words and the allies in the arena could feel the effects of her spell-song wash over them as they felt a supernatural confidence encompass their actions. (Inspire Courage)
Xaris, sweet little Xaris was the quintessential double sided coin. On the one side was the good natured, caring and empathetic little forest gnome who shared a love of nature and harmony in life that the others had come to admire; on the other was the savage nature of some beast which broke free every time emotions took over and instinct replaced coherent thought. At the sight of the carnage around him, and Artanis’ immediate danger Xaris bolted into action, his knuckles whitening around the hilt of his great sword, his little legs spurning him forward, and his long sword sized blade arcing in a great cleave and nearly taking the wolf’s head completely from its thick strong shoulders. His blade cut deep, severing resistant flesh and muscle, and cacking the spinal column which ran the length of the wolf’s skeletal structure. Even the creature’s natural resistance to metals did not seem to be enough to save it from Xaris’s super-gnomish wrath. (Xaris has once again scored a critical, this time the critical chart yielded him x3 damage instead of the typical double damage for a massive 48 damage before damage reduction) As the wolf’s spine shuddered from the impact, the paralysis swept through the beast and it slumped over, eyes of life slowly glazing over as it stared one final time at the moon above.
This is where the parties’ luck ran out. Redoubling their efforts, it was the wolf pack which reacted with expert timing and coordination once more. Still prone, Talus was an easy target for the wolf which loomed above him, and with ease the wolf saw fit to take another bite at the already wounded warlock. This time, teeth and fang found fending arm and flesh, and Talus gritted his teeth nearly taking off his own tongue in the sudden inhalation of breath after the gasp of pain. (Talus 5/24 – prone)
The wolf which Aelistae had frightened still pawed at the treeline, trying to worm its way through the entangled branches, but found little success. The one fighting Linnix however held no such fear, and with the skill of a trained hunter bypassed the woman’s defenses and bit deep into her side, the rogue managing to keep her footing through sheer luck more than anything else. (Linnix 23/3
The Dire Wolf standing over Bart growled hungrily at the man who bled freely before it. Movement in the tent to the side caught its attention, and it stalked over to the tent just as the flap was lifted to reveal a weary-eyed Sheva poking her nose out into the night. She was rewarded with a fury of fang and fur as it pounced her into the tent, and as the canvas shuddered and lurched against the pitons staking the ropes to the earth, Sheva’s scream of pain could be heard across he battlefield, and the wolf only howled in delight.
The lycan leader apparently did not fancy Xaris, for his weapon had felled two of his kin, and in the lycanthrope’s mind he had to wonder if it had been forged by the mineral bane of his kind’s existence. As his spell finished, a swirling mist formed in the air, and from it came forth a 30’ long bolt of lightning. There was no clap of thunder to give warning of its descent, and Xaris could barely move as the lightning bore down his back and legs as he jumped aside, though he barely even registered the pain. [Reflex save successful Xaris 66/ 71 (rage enhanced HP *see Q/a about your HP please)]
Regrouping, the adventurer’s did their best to turn the tide on the wolf pack. Aelistae was free to move to Bartholomew, and bestowed upon him his deity’s blessings staving off death one more time. (Bartholomew = 8/?? Hp) as his eyes fluttered open and his body mended much of the damage which had put him on the brink of eternal rest, he could only manage a painful nod of appreciation towards the drow priestess as he stood with some effort; realizing just how close he had come to never returning home… save in a casket. Even as she moved on to other tasks however, her armor grew scorching hot, burning her flesh and causing great pain (Aelistae 26/ 3
Linnix’s eyes grew cold as she hefted her newly acquired scythe for a deadly strike, but her lacking in proficiency for large weapon showed as she over compensated and the wicked curved blade swung too far, arcing and tearing a fine slice of skin off her own foot. (Linnix 19/37)
Talus knew his life was forfeit if the wolf managed even another meager attack, and thusly did all he could to avoid suffering the chance of another strike from the deadly wolf. It was this attention to defense that cost him another invocation of his innate eldritch blast. He feared the worst as the wolf snarled at him, its thick saliva dripping with a reddish pink hue as it was mixed with Talus’ own blood. Movement caught the corner of Talus’ eye, and at first he feared it was another wolf, arriving to finish the job. When the glint of steel and the yelp of pain from the lips of the wolf echoed into the night, Talus dared look to find the wolf dead, Artanis standing over it bastard sword held straight on the diagonal pointing down, an extension of her arm, a thick line of blood running along the groove to drip to the cool earth below. (Wow, Artanis too has scored another Critical hit, and though only for double damage scored max on her die roll for a juicy little 34 points to the poor wolf)
With more than half his pack dead or dispatched, the Lycan’s face contorted and he snarled, before the awful sound of bone’s breaking and his spine popping filled the air, as his armor melded into his flesh, and a thick layer of hair covered his body. Arms and leg’s grew in muscle and tone, and soon there was no hint of humanity left, as the Lycan now stood a good head taller than even the dire wolves, it’s gleaming black coat matted with sweat as it howled into the night, issuing a challenge to all who would oppose him.

12 x 5 +(3x5) = 75
That's perfect health. When you leveled your character did you just change his health to max? because all the PC's are not using max HP / level rules.
I've rerolled your health, because I'm only now just noticing that your character has always seemed to have max HP (like 60hp back in the ogre cave at level 4)
Just want to keep things fair for everyone.
If you've successfully rolled 4 12's when levelling every time step up, let me know and so be it I'll leave it be, but if it's just a character creation miscommunication, you're new hit points are 61 (still the highest out of any pc)

Topic: The Chakran Portal - Q/A
Subject: my mind
In this particular case, I've been so flooded with work and illness I'd been hoping to wait for an opportune moment to post, in fact I posted last night from the hospital I was forced into (which takes alot considering my hatred and fear of the places) But that's neither here nor there. I knew what Thondrek was going to do, and other people's actions weren't likely to affect it, but I didn't want to post I fireball the group if everyone else posted we run and charge y'know?
I enjoy playing Thondrek, heck the tree battle made him seem really heroic and though he wasn't my original character, I've come to make him my own, and I thuroughly enjoy the game, adventure, you're writing, and the others who participate.
I can't speak for everyone else, but I'm still here for the long haul, (havn't checked the actual thread yet for an update or not) but every saturday morning I get home from work (or in this case the hospital) and your game is the first thing I read over breakfast, it's become part of my weekly routine.  So don't give up on me or Thondrek, we're still here and interested as ever.
I do know that alot of other games have fallen silent, died off or their DM's have just sorta disappeared lol. It may well be that the apathy from having only one or two active games have crept across into those games as well for people, I'm not sure, but if I as a player can try and keep the interest level higher by posting sooner again (like I used to almost always be the first poster lol) then I will try.

Topic: The Chakran Portal - an Adventure in Audalis
Subject: Preparing for battle
Thondrek knew that time was running out and soon quite the fight would be upon them. He looked to his comrades for their actions but they all seemed frozen, like the thrum of the drum through the rock beneath their feet had stricken them with fear. As a Khord of the Mountains, Thondrek had dealt with his fair share of goblin and giant kind, though that was when he had his brethren behind him, and a surge of sturdy shields and dwarven axes worked their way in harmony to defend their homes. Now, he was with a group who each held their own styles of combat, and though they worked as a team, he doubted anyone else here, save perhaps Geim had partaken in strict military formation or strategy before.
Falling into a spell, Thondrek imbued his body with the strength of the bull and moved a bit closer, and as his muscles swelled he prepared for the first layer in his trap. (R1) He held in his free hand a vial of smokey liquid as he began to read from the scroll scribed into the back of his caster's shield. As soon as the fiery little bead was away to encapsulate the group in a blast of fire, (one of the 2 inscribed fireballs)(R2) Thondrek quaffed the Potion of invisibility, and disappeared from view, moving closer to the Ogre and the hopefully scattering and disorganized goblins. (R3) Finally, he activated his True Strike Clasp as he hefted his axe and awaited the Ogre to come closer so that he could strike out with a Arcane channeled Shocking grasp through his newly imbued masterwork axe. (R4)
(Four rounds should have him nearer the Ogre and invisible and true striked, ready for combat on the five round when they would have originally come into view anyways. Thondrek will let the Ogre/ goblins pass by him if needbe to effectively pincer them between him and the others.)

Topic: Forgotten Realms: the Unsung Heroes Q/A
Subject: as I told DA
One could potentialy use the shield as a land mine, though it might be wierd to watch everyone flee from the dropped shield which is glowing with each hit and firing arrows at it (not to mention the AC to hit it would be pretty darn high considering you're trying to strike a small or less object, plus you'd have to roll over 5 on the die roll to even charge a crystal, it might make more sense to simply hit the shield with a area effect itself, and compound the explosion with an extra lightning nova lol... providing you don't blow the shield up. it could be a reusable tactic.
I also told DA so I'l share with the rest of you as it's only fair though I'm not entitled to do so  THe likelyhood of the lycan picking up the discarded shield is unlikely, AND I also indicated that the lycan seems highly intelligent, so don't think that should you all flee he doesn't move as well, especially with Artanis vocallizing the warning.
I also told DA that the shield will naturally lose one charged crystal at the rate of 1/hour of disuse as the energy dissipates.

Subject: in the mood for a debate
and who has the right to deem an animal's basic instincts as innocent or otherwise? Is it simply not a means of survival?. The rat does not readiate an aura of menace or evil, it is simply enjoying a little "bone appetite" in the evening of another long day of scratching, nibbling, and possibly eating your own feces.
I'm not really going to denounce DM's paladinship over something like this it's just something my sleep deprived mind thought of. Sure, it's just a rat, but what if, it had been say... a emaciated unicorn struggling for nourishment in a barren setting where only corpses remained? Would one think to strike down the unicorn? no of course not it's a UNICORN! but poor ol whiskers over there doesn't deserve the same consideration
~~
Anywho, I'll likely not update tonight, but provided I'm feeling better tomorrow I'll post in the morning. Take care all.

Subject: hmmm
Chris moved with Hank and the other's towards her domecile when Cindi abruptly came to a halt, her toes impacting with an unmoving object. After some grimaces of pain and careful observation, the letters ton were revealed on the section of the headstone and everyone's minds began to race a to the implications of the meaning.
(Are the letter's on the right side of the piece of headstone? indicitive of a last name?)
As Delilah left Chris to aid Cindi in her walking, (broken foot or not I'l take it she at least goes to make sure she's ok)Chris moves closer to Hank, ofering a supplicating and concerned smile. "When we make it to your place you'll have to let me take a look at your wound, if only to patch it up to prevent further exposure to possible infection. I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure there's some basic first aid skills at least locked up in this blender of jarbled memories in here;" he said tapping his forehead.
Trying to keep Hank's mind off the pain he tries to strike up a conversation with the woman as they move. "Hank doesn't strike me as much the girl's name, did your parent's originally want a boy and just didn't think to change the name?" He wasn't sure if she'd remember anything along those lines, but if she had remembered her grandfather and the flower shop, there was a possibility exploring more avenues of her family would reveal something, and at this point anything would be better than nothing.
