Subject: Round 7


Xuor has no target except for the blind Drow. Logan has pinned his Drow down and the Drow screams a curse, but throws his weapon away from him. Sarai with no target paused to look to the Drow male and the 2 children hiding under the brush. The Drow by Brianna does the same. Leaving Lorae and a Drow locked in combat.

The Drow moves his blade with lightning like movements. Elf, Drow 1 (Scimitar +4 (Dancing, Shock, Speed), #1) hits (18+19) AC 37 for ----> Critical threat to AC 39 , total damage to Lorae 20 HP in the upper right arm. Lorae counters with a hit of her own Lorae, Longsword +5 (Holy, Keen), #1) hits (15+1 AC 33 for 20 HP (12 s + 8 s) of damage in the upper right arm. And Lorae second attack also hits. Lorae, Longsword +5 (Holy, Keen), #2) hits (17+13) AC 30 for 22 HP (14 s + 8 s) of damage in the left shoulder. The Drow hits the forest floor unconscious. Lorae ends his life with a coup de grac, taking off his head.

Logan wounded, Brianna wounded, Lorae wounded. Two wounded Drow and one blinded.

The Drow woman gets up and nods to Logan and Brianna, Both of you are poisoned, allow me to heal you, I am a priestess of Elistraee.

"It was a little hard to elude you, being trussed up like a pig on a spit."

Elessarae touched the wound with the wand and waits to see the flesh close,and then the new pink flesh turn to a normal skin color.

She then stipes the bed of its sheet, "I can make you a sarong," she says, holing up the sheet to the elf woman. "Sorry about the Fireball, I was hoping you would get caught by some of the animated ropes, like me."

As Sarai advances she hears a groan and a faint gasp fron under some nearby brush. Keen eyes see a drow male on the ground undert the cover of the undergrowth and clinging to him are 2 Drow children, a boy about 5 and a girl about 8. The girl has put her hand over the adults mouth.

There is a Drow hidden behind a tree, from Logan and Brianna, but in clear view of Highnar coming in from the angle of the Goat's charge. He is 30 feet away when Highnar shouts his battlecry.

OOC either you take minuses for fighting from goatback or you will have to dismount and attack.

Elessarae was up and drawing her blade when the door opened. The blade was at ready when the rapier flew across the room and clattered into the corner. She slowly replaces her sword, stands a walks, with only the slightest lack of grace do to the tingling leg, to the figure. Elessarae had the distinct feeling that the woman was not happy about the part she had, had to play.

"Come, rest," she holds out an arm to the woman, "and if you are in need of healing, as I was, then I can provided that much." Even as she offered healing Elessare stayed wary.

"Was this a test for you, also?"

The Drow that was attacked by Flame shoots at the dragonette with his crossbow and the bolt hit him in the ribs for but it does not penetrate

Another bolt does flying passed Brianna, while the Drow with the shortspear throws it again
and misses also.

Xuor does not have to go far to find a good vantage point for archery and still can get off one shot. The arrow pierces the Drow with the spear in the thigh and he staggers.

Lorae, gets off two shots before the Drow with the hand crossbow can get to cover. The first hits him solidly in the upper left arm and the second hits him in the lower right arm.

The Drow with the Flaming scimitar advances on Brianna, but in trying to keep out of the way of her deadly blades he missese both attacks.

The Drow coming in Melee with Logan stikes out like an adder His longsword flashing in the leaf dappled light slices down onto Logan’s right shoulder hard enough to almost sssshake Logan, but he manages not to lose his on concentration on her attack, but the blade bite deeply into his tricepts. After wrenching out his Sword the Drow misses his next attacks

Twi arrows one after the other go whizzing by Brianna, who was moving about so that she would not be a easy target.

Brianna Stormrider: putsw the finishing blow on the staggering Drow right across his lowere back severing his spine. and then she half turns to strikes one of the Drow attacking Logan with Thunder and Lightning again dealing tremendous damage to hie shoulder, and her drops his weapon, and to his upper back.

One of the Drow, just out of sight of the main area of fighting lets out a vile curse envoking Lolth’s name.

Logan: next attack is not as strong as her wanted, but his own injury weakened his blow The Drow only taking light damage in his left shoulder, but his short sword is driven with determination and cuts deeply into the inner tigh muscles. Sending the Drow to the ground.

Flame retaliates with a gout of flame to the face of the Drow that he had been in melee with, The Drow screams and reels away now totally blind.

Into this battle comes the Dwarf from the night before at the Inn. Highnar Goldblade: advances into the theater of battle, twin waraxes drawn and ready.

Quick recap

Drow 3 and 9 facing Logan in melee, 3 has now dropped his sword and 9 is now on the ground, having lost the use of his leg
Brianna has now turned to aid Logan.
3 Drow are on the ground dead.
1 Drow is wandering blinded.
1 is hiding in the tree with a Shortspear.
There are hidden archers still shooting at the party.

Subject: Peradyse Lost Q&A


OK players here is a place of your questions and comments and maybe your answers.

Character Roll-up procedures and information about magic. This game has been going on a while. I am looking for some replacements. All classes needed, though there is one female Fighter/ Cleric and another female Rogue/Bard/Cleric/Fighter/Paladin (Don't ask its a long story)

New PC's are to be made up in 3.5 Ed to level 9. No Evil characters. Evil is what you fight. Half Orc's and small folk are not viable PC races in my game, other half/bloods are possible.

Players get 86 points to arrange their character anyway they want, but no score below 10 is allowed. Also Feats come come every other level starting at one and stat points come every other level starting at two. All players get skill points at 6+Int Bonus except those in D&D book that get more (a.e Rogue and Bard).

Starting Money is 56,000 and must be balanced between defensive and offenive items. Everyone will have a standard Adventure's Kit: rope, tarp, pegs, bedroll, light weight cooking and eating utensiles, 1 week's rations, flint and steel, whetstone, etc. and a change of clothing of whatever type is standard for you character. Anything special beyond that must be paid for from given moneys.

OK I need to let you know about the House Rules of Magic. Magic is use more realistically. The game uses a point system. You get your points from how many spells you have and your levels. For example, get one point for every level of spell you have a slsot for. If you have 5 level 0 spells at .5 points a spell, then you get 5x.5=2.5 points, 4 1st level spells you get 4x1=4 points and 3 2nd level spells are worth 3x2=6; for a total of 12.5 points.

In my version of magic all you have to do is know the spell and then you can use it as many times as you want. So if you want to use all your points by casting magic missles your can. You never heard Gandalf say "Oops I used that one spell today, can't use it again." Studying you books is still important, it helps eliminated mistakes in casting, which does happen in this game. I roll a success roll for casting. There are crits and fumbles; 1 on a D20 is a fumble and 20 is a crit. 2 Caster's level above the level of spell being cast also gives you a bonus. So a 3 level MU can cast a 1 level spell and never fumble. Well..... there are other circumstances but........enough said for now.

Cleric spells are much the same except that a Cleric can always pray to his deity for a spell that he or she does not have. Let's say a cleric has prayed for certain spells, but when the day arrives to use them he really needs Negate Poison. He can take an action to pray for the needed divine spell, any that are available to him at his level, as long as he has the points. And changing a spell to a healing or aid spell has no added cost.

Any MU or Cleric can burn 2 Con points for added 1 spell points in an emergency, but dropping below 1 Con will cause the MU or Cleric to go unconscious, and you can not go minus your Con.

But first: Here is the Forum for your Character sheet.

I sort of need to know just how badly she is burned. % of body and degree of burns. I am aware that anytime clothes burn you are talking about 2nd degree burns.

I also need to know how a Wand of healing works against burns, different DM's have different oppinions on that.

Subject: First Things First.



Elessarae hobbled to the bed and sat before she fell to the floor. With blistered hands she opened a belt pouch and took out an oiled cloth to clean her blade before resheathing it. What would have been a simple action was slow and painful.

Next she opened a second belt pouch a took out her wand of healing. A bit of anger flared at the lack of care considering her wounds and burns and even her frozen leg.
She knew how close she was to passing out, a grayness was slowing closing in around her vision, if she were to pass out without the wounds being closed, she could die right here on the bed, making the Elders' decision easier. She concentrated on the most major wound in her abdomen, and when that seemed no longer painful to her probing, she healed the cut in her thigh. At least she would not lose anymore blood. She was not sure if the healing wand would work against the frozen leg or the burns.

What she wanted next was a cool forest pool to emerse her burned body, knowing that burns emersed in cool water were not as painful. But there was nothing like that here.
She looked about and tried to see if there was a ewer of water and a wash basin, at least she might be able to soak her hands and arms in it.

Her burns bothered her the most not only from the pain but from the damaget they could do. The palm of her right hand was untouch by the fireball as it was closesd aroung the hilt of her sword, but the burns on the back of her fingers and hands might end her hopes of being a Bladesinger, if they were not already. Physically and emotionally drained she longed to lay down but knew the pain from her burns would keep her from any sort of rest.

Elessarae slowly slipped tot the end of the bed and hooked her left arm over the end of the bedstead. At least she could keep her aching body propped up.

She closed her eyes and tried to focus on something pleasant, hoping that would help her bear the pain. She thought back to her first trip the the MoonSteeds' River and the wonderous sight of the white and silvery horses beloved by the elves. It was high summer and the foals were frolicking about in the lush green meadows, under the watchful gaze of their dams, the herd stallion, and the elves that guarded them. A child herself, she ran out to play with them and they scattered. It was the day she learned patience. Finally realizing it was her quick moves that sent them running, she very slowly moved into the group of mares and then stopped and waited. Her patience was rewarded and the boldest of the foals finally came out to investigate her. She remembers their soft lips nibbling her hair and clothes, and one even licked her hand.

Licking her hand, she would not want the to happen now. Some trail of thoughts ended Elessarae's memories, a voice of one of her instructors. "Healing is absolute and complete, if you have enough magic to heal all that needs healing."

SHe did have the magic, in the wand and turning it on herself again she heals her burns. She suddenly sags as the pain diappears. Clean freasd pink skin formed under the burns and quickly changed to unblemished flesh, as if she had never benn burned. Except that the old burned bits still clung to her. She gingerly brushed off the charred skin and then turned the healing wand on her numb leg.
She was not sure if it would work, but it was worth a try.

Moments later there was a sudden rush of tingling, like a thousand needles stabbing her leg from the inside out. Elessarae reached over and began to vigorously rub her leg, until natural feeling returned.

With a final sigh of relief, she put the wand away.

Subject: Schemes



Yes, it does seem that you like a good scheme. I have been really enjoying how you write to draw out the charater. As with me.

As a DM I like it when I get a strong post from a character because it makes it much easier to create a story post nd create sidelines and develop the plot.

Subject: That Post was Hard



Boy did I angonize over that post. I had to work in all that went before and all that I thought she would be capable of doing as a result of her injuries. Then I had to weave in Bladesinger style.

I spent most of the day just putting down a skeleton of the post and then spent the rest of the time thinking through it from her point of view. I lost 3 hours of sleep, for as I cogitaed on the post I would come up with some perfect wording or something that needed to be included and then I knew I had to write it down.

Topic: The Chakran Portal - an Adventure in Audalis
Subject: Elessarae



Elessarae pushed herself from the door and taking one painful step at a time tried to hide the uselessness of her frozen leg. She remembered one of her instructors lecturing his group about keeping an opponent from knowing how badly one was injured. Burned, maimed, weary from the morning activities, first was her testing when the scroll came, then the run for the keep, and then the battle of the corridor, and they wanted her display her style of the fine art of the Bladesinger. They wanted to witness it now. They wanted her to show them perfection to be worthy of consideration as she was. They doomed her to failure. But she would not accept their doom. She would at least put up a fight.

She could use a spell to heal a little of her damage, but she did not think they wanted that. Otherwise, would they have not offered her healing?

She gave her judges’ one look and then she drove them from her mind, as she would have to drive the pain from her mind. What she would do was not for them, but herself. She fought to get accepted as a candidate and she would fight to the end.

She raised her blade in a salute and then began to sing, the song was low and slow and as she sang she began to move the sword. At first she was only testing the limits of what she was capable of doing. As that song wove down she realized that no song she had ever sung would fit what she had to work with. She had to create the powereto continue the fight. Elessarae remembers how she used her anger in the corridor, but uncontrolled anger was dangerous. If she could harness the anger she might be able to use it.

As the first part of her song faded she looked down to the green circle, but she could hold that spot. There would be no dancing leaps or spectacular pirouettes in the air, no fancy florishes, or wide arched sweeps. She could set herself to a final ditch battle and this would be her holding ground. As she prepared to move into the major movements of the Bladesinger style, she knew she needed something entirely different. But the song, what song would give her that?

To sing a song of grace and fluidity would not fit the situation. It had to be something rousing, something with the power to transcend adversity and pain. Then it came to her. It was no Elven tune; it came from a human land, a small country that was fought over like a bone, by the dogs of the Great Powers around it. A country where music was a very important aspect of their lives, and the proud and steadfast people were noted for their bards, singers, and musicians. Her father had bought her a book of their music and it was there she first learned the tune for “The Men of Harlock” (pardon the usage)staunch defenders of a besieged castle who held out against a far superior force. If ever a piece of music fit the situation this was it.

She sang it in the original language, for the crispness of the language fit the music and her voice. At the first strains of the tune, Elessarae began her dance of defense. She had to rely on her balance to offset the lack of two usable legs. Her blade twisted and cut through the air and she wove her defense to the tune and the words of the song. The words spoke of pridee and loyality, and defiance.

She used speed and conservation of movement to replace the expected grace and fluidity of the Bladesinger style. As the song built she transcended the pain of her burned skin as she fought invisible foes with tenacious grit. Her blade flashed about her as she attacked and parried. Fire flashed in her eyes. She wasted no motion, and kept her blade tight to herself so as not to overextend and lose her balance. She used her good leg and pirouetted about on her bad leg, using her balance to stay upright. She tried to use various Bladesinger maneuvers, “Wind in the Willow”, “Lightning in a Thunderstorm”, “Swirling Waters,” and “Unicorn Charge”, some worked but others maneuvers fell far short of expected Bladesinger forms. Partway through the song her words and singing stopped, at least outwardly, her voice grown too hoarse, and her need for air to breathe increased. But the music and the words still sounded in her heart.

Time lost all meaning, but the song finally came to an end, and with it Elessarae’s blade came back to a salute and then she dropped the tip of her sword to the floor and leaned on it. She felt chilled, her legs and body were shaking. Blood ran from cracked and blistered skin that was stretch too much even by the limited movements that she had made.

A sigh escaped her lips. It was done. There had been no grace, no perfection, only will and determination. Her chin dropped, fearing it was not what they were looking for and fearing they would see the tears that welled in her eyes, tears of pain and tears of disappointment, knowing that her performance was lacking in every way.

She blinked and saw the green spot, now stained with her blood. She had forgotten the wounds the Orc/Elf had given her in the corridor.

“I’...m sor...ry,” Elessarae somehow found the breath to get the words out, “I’ve stained...your rug.”

Oh, so I was right to keep my sword at ready and face off my judges with an fiery stare.

Gee Thanks, I have a feeling you are having entirely to much fun harrassing my poor elf.

I think her first words will be, "I'm sorry, but I don't seem to be properly attired for this gathering."
