Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Fire's burning into the night


And so they danced, well into the evening, the song and merriment rose up from those gathered and all enjoyed themselves truly for the first time in quite awhile. As the night dragged on, the crowd began to thin, as fatigue and morning responsibilities claimed much of those gathered. Linnix and Aelistae too left the festivities for a more private setting. There they talked, growing closer to each other with each word exchanged, and Linnix closer perhaps to something that might change her entire life.

(allowing about ten minutes of conversation to pass between the two)

There was a knock upon Linnix’s door. A feminine voice, soft and laced with fatigue followed suit. “Misses, I bring you a bottle of wine, some hot tea, and some fresh drop biscuits as a courtesy from a man downstairs. Before leaving, he wanted me to extend his sincerest gratitude for the show you put on, and can only hope you’ll be around again in the future to provide such a spectacle.”

~*~*~*~*~

Downstairs, Bart rose and bid everyone good evening, before excusing himself to bed. Elesia moved off to court a fine looking nobleman of some twenty years, her silver tongue easily eliciting the desired response from the wealthy man, and soon they too had parted with but a wiggle of her delicate fingers in a wave to her friends, as they walked north along the street into the night.

~+~+~+~+

Those who were still gathered, with full stomachs, musically pleased ears and now droopy eyelids were preparing to call it a night themselves, when a woman came rushing down the street in a frantic panic.

“Fire, Fire!, My house is on fire! Please someone help me, My baby and Mr. Wuggles are inside!” She grabs onto a nearby dancer and shakes him violently in terror, tears streaming down her face as she trembles. Sure enough, if one were t stop and look down the road some 200 yards, smoke plumed forth from not only the chimney, but the windows of a two story home on the corner, and flames already licked up into window sills on both floors, a pair of outside wood shutters already burning, as one falls from the hinges to smolder and eat away at itself on the street. A small crowd can be seen gathering at the spectacle of it all, and a pair of lads take off up the street (North) calling for “Guards, and a need for a Fire Brigade!”

(Linnix and Aelistae can backpost a bit,sit and enjoy some fine wine and tea as their room does not face the blaze, nor can they hear the commotion outside)

Subject: If I squash it, will it rain?


Armand watched as the Spider crossed the gap with alarming speed, so lost in awe of the crystalline arachnid were the defenders of light in this lightless place. It’s long jagged legs pierced Deunan’s armor as though it were paper, and she gasped as her blood spilled forth onto the mat black battlefield.

Armand took a five foot step back behind Deunan and fell into his training, and brought forth his Holy power, channeling it as he invoked a Metamagically infused Suddenly MaximizedShatter Spell at the Crystalline beast, knowing it was one of the spell he had memorized that wouldn’t let this reflective monstrosity utilize any resistances it’s otherworldly presence might afford it. (DC 22 No spell resistance Fort Save vs ½ Maximixed Damage= 60)

“Shatter like the night before the dawning sun! You shall plague her soul no longer!” He called out.


Enraged, Deunan gave a call to the heavens for protection, dropping her shield and taking up her weapon in both hands as she channeled all her power into a hopefully devastating blow of her magical bastard sword. “By the God’s I’ll squish you like the bug you are!”

(Atk 1 with +1 Ghost Touch Bastard Sword +13 +20 True Strike +3 (Smite Evil) +1 (Haste) -8 Power Attack = +29 (1d10+24) ( 4 (3 Strength 1 Magical) +16 (Power attack with two handed weapon) +4 (Smite Evil)
(Atk 2 (Haste) With +1 Ghost Touch Bastard Sword +13 -8 Power Attack =5 (1d10+20)
(Atk 3 With +1 Ghost Touch Bastard Sword +8-8 Power Attack =0 (1d10+20)
(Note Improved Critical 17-20)

Caduceus meanwhile, could only murmur on and on about why he had to be a Staff of Healing, why Couldn’t he be a sentient tea pot, he’d be much happier without all the hellish monstrosities that just loved to plague his companions and their quest for world peace.

The suitcase was stuck, "DAmnit" Chris mutters, as he bends down to see what's keeping it from his easy grasp. He can hear the approaching creeper, but information was what he lacked, and he was determined to gain some. He'd been in his fair share of scuffles, his scars both recent and ast would attest to that, and for the moment, his curiosity outweighed his fear.

Armand shuddered inside at the sight of the crytalline spider, but outwards he was a stalwart vision. "Be calm, I'll see if I can ease your pain". With that he cast Remove Curse upon the woman.

my post shows I grabbed the suitcase.

Besides, I never said I wouldn't go back, merely I wanted to get downstairs, where hopefully I can check the suitcase for something useful.

as I do in most video games, I'm a 'map clearer' So I'll be back don't you fret

Topic: Auguries of Destruction - The Linsemptus
Subject: how peculiar


Armand has to shake off the chills that run down his back as he detects an evil presence affixed to Renshiir beyond which he had exerienced in some time, if ever. He knows Deunan too can sens something terrible. Turning to Deunan he mouth's the words of a 'True Strike' Spell, letting it fall upon the paladin. Who looked on in anticipation.

Turning Renshiir over, despite her protests, he forcibly removes whatever is obstructing his view of whatever struck him as profoundly evil.

Topic: Silent Hill: Eternal Decay
Subject: Eep!


Chris watches as his surroundings change, and as the shambling, urching figure--figures?-- come into view. As his ipod goes off, a white static fills the screen and it plays a crackling noise. "What the bleep!" He comments. He judges the timing of the creature's movements, and if he thinks he's got the time, he will run and grab the suitcase under the bed and make his way downstairs.

If the creature catches him in the room, he wil keep the four poster bed between him and the luching monster, and when it moves to clamber over the bed or around it, Chris will run from the room closing the door behind him and running downstairs.

"I've got to get the hell out of here!"

Subject: If you want to live, help me


Armand had to stop and think about what the implications of Renshiir's words meant. "Don't speak, simply nod your head if I'm right. Have you been cursed? or enchanted? I may be able to free you from such things."

Subject: Watch out for that tree


Armand couldn't help but wince as Renshiir collided with the tree. He and Deunan quickly caught up with the falen woman, and kneeled over her while Deunan held her at sword length.

"Maybe now we can talk?" Armand said as he --along with his darkvision-- got a better look at the woman before him.

"If yo talk to me, maybe we can help you against those you've run afoul of. Now before you make this even more difficult on all of us, why not take a breather, calm down, and talk to us."

Subject: 6 hours before twilight


"If you're going to kill me anyway, why should I stop? That's what people like you tend to do to people like me who are in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Armand was still running, and truly he couldn’t help but wonder how the woman was so able to evade the two of them. He at least was protected from many things, mind control one of them, perhaps it was Deunan alone that she read, or perhaps still the green hued ‘woman’ was simply capabe of some extra sensory perception Armand couldn’t understand.

“I know what it’s like to have been in the wrong place at the wrong time;” he said still chasing after the woman. “But I give you my word all I seek is information, not violence, nor confrontation.”

Caduceus started up again. “At least you’re known for keeping your word, just about as well as your known to go gallivanting off on one fool’s errand after another in this forsaken world. You know, back when I was with…”

“Enough my friend, there is time for criticism and nostalgia later, for now, we need to calm down that woman’s nerve’s some, so she may see with reason and not blind terror.”

Armand calls to Deunan. “Stay your advance!” Deunan looked to Armand with a quirked brow.

“But she’s the only lead we’ve got!”

“It won’t do us a lick of good if we run her right off the cliff!”

“Bu- Fine, you better know what you’re doing though!”

As Deunan slowed her hasted movements, Armand advanced but at a less aggressive pace.

“Please, all I want to do is talk, perhaps I can even help in you troubles in some way, offer some sanctuary or solace from whatever plagues you.”

Subject: Not the Midnight stroll I had in mind.


Outer Regions of the Hylon Forest
Unmapped Area
Six hours before Twilight


Armand Amaranth and Deunan Noot had been pursuing leads concerning the Dark Collectors for weeks, and it was another such pursuit that now had the duo --trio if you counted the ever babbling Caduceus-- traipsing through the dark of night, hours before twilight after another possible link to the elusive guild. It had taken quite a bit of effort, persuation, and unfortunately bloodshed even to learn the identity and location of Renshiir, and now, as she ran from them it was apparent she prefered to keep to her own kind, which was obviously not the radiant enforcers of light kind of people.

"You cannot escape to the darkness, for I will dispel it from the lands! You will answer to me one way or another Renshiir, it has already been ordained in the stars, you cannot fight your destiny, but you can at least choose whether you are alive or not when I pull the information I seek from your body."

Caduceus had begun his nagging again. "You're not thinking of killing her are you?"

Armand simply replied while he was running with "I just might if she keeps making me run!" His voice was loud enough for Renshiir to hear. "Though I'd be persuaded to be a lot more pleasant if she'd just stop and talk!"
As Armand ran, he searched within and channelled his Holy Aura into the protective field around him. He noticed Deunan was falling behind, and so to give her a boost, he fell into the incantation of a Haste Spell. Their speed no longer an issue, he charged, on, while Deunan moved to intercept the fleeing woman, hoping to tackle her to the ground while Armand approached for interrogation, his Holy Nimbus, chasing away the night as he moved, a beacon of light against the darkness.



(second bout of actions if need be)

If Deunan or Armand cannot catch Renshiir, Armand falls into the casting of a Hold Person (clerical) (Spell DC 22 minimum) in hopes of stopping the fleeing woman in her tracks.

Unable to see anything in the darkness, Chris advances to the first door in the rediculously skinny hallway, and removes the silver reflective tape from the first door.

"This just keeps getting stranger and stranger, he says as he slowly peels the tape away with one hand, the other with whitening knuckles around the table leg as he fights his fright.

Subject: Sneak attacks


Undead are simply immune to sneak attack damage, not the penalties of being flanked or anything else, so if you successfully cast and hit the undead with your cure moderate wounds, barring spell resistance or some other such thing the damage would still affect it.

without some sort of prestige class or magical aid, undead are unaffected by critical hits or sneak attack

as for chandelier, unfortunately there are none that woud be within reaching distance, only a few hanging sconces not full chandeliers, affixed to the rafters

the upstairs is just a private meeting room, table, couches, fireplace hearth. The iron boar is a tavern, not an inn, so there aren't private rooms in that sense of the word, which is why everyone was able to freely go upstairs.

Subject: Since you're new Spiders


When casting a spell within melee range of an enemy you provoke attacks of opportunity, what this means it in all likelyhood the skeletal figure will attack you while you try to cast your cure moderate wounds into it.

If you'd like to change your post so be it, if not we'll see how the dice favour you.

Chris wonders if perhaps there's another survivor upstairs, and ever so carefully places a foot on the step, awaiting the owner of the noise to come closer, he'll not approach it, in case it brings danger, but he'll wait for whatever it is to approach to within view.

"God I hope I'm not gonna regret this, he mouth's silently, Sturdy table leg in hand should it be needed."
