Also, 'dots' aren't appearing when people post. Somat t'watch out fer there!

Yes, I have pretty much started checking daily whether it says there is a new post or not. I've also seen other posts about the issue as well.

Gloisil thankful for the aid from his uncle, and the other gnomes back home, opens his eyes after a moment to see if there are any foes left to deal with.

"Everyone okay?" He manages to says after the shouts die down and he gets his wits back about himself.

"Uncle, that was some powerful blast!"

Sorry, forgot to post under my alias.

Sunset moves forwards to take full advantage of their foes distraction.

Move into attack, saving Bard performance till round 2

Desidera followed Sunset, doing what she could to aid her friend in her attacks, trying to keep everyone's positions in mind. Though she was glad that she did not see (or hear) whatever it was that Gloisil's family did, the results were telling enough on their own. She thought about asking, but that was a fleeting thought as she focused on keeping her friends as well as herself alive.

From this I will presume you are also attacking Sunset's target; will give you a bit to correct me before I do the mobs actions for this round; the occurance from Gloisils Uncle will occur on Gloisils init.

correct

Hoping to know the outcome of the battle soon enough. (^_^)

The clash of weapons, and screams of battle ensue as the Black Ork and Celtic warrior engage the enemy Boss. The dark elf attempts a spell at the Norker Sub Bosses. Mox and crew begin persuading the Forest Goblins to join up.

The blast leaves all the enemy dis oriented. Next round attack will be against flat footed opponents and your opponets will be affectively blinded for a round or two halting their advance.

In the distance faint noises can be heard; an eeerie howl of some otherworldly and very inhuman beast howls in pain and defiance. To counter it; some etheral sounding dwarven voices sing a war marching song.
-----------------
Next round.

Sunset works her x-bow and fires again at whatever enemy is available.

Sunset raises her voice to chant along side those of the Dwarves she can hear. (^_^)

Att Roll:1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 = 20

Dam Roll:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Pegged one o' th' lil' suckers! (^_^)

Gloisil once again aims his wand at the bugbear and utters the words, "Tempter Fieray!"

Gloisil casts another Scorching Ray from his wand and directs both rays at the bugbear. Attack (Ray 1): 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 19, Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 3) = 14. Attack (Ray 2): 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 21, Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 1, 2) = 10.

Desidera was not doing much, but then again, Sunset was not under direct attack just yet. So as long as her friend was out of harm's way, she would guard, though she was not above using her sling to aid where she could.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Dang boards not showing up people posting again. Is a bit of a worry.

are you firing at the boss bugbear; ie a hit; or at a sub boss norker; ie a miss, or any of the forest goblins, which would hit?

big hint here hehe

Att Roll:1d20+6+1

yes; paizo was down a bit too; and always that lurking post monster.

Gyldyr's online profile changes to a ranger from a necromancer; so hmm; am gonna have to either drop him or make him anew; what do you guys think?

Gyldry casts chill touch on a subchief norker for 5 points of damage.

The Black Orc hits a norker and his weapon leaves a trail of sparks these guys are hard as stone!

The celtic warrior hits the bugbear for 12 points of damage.

The bugbear hits and bites the celtic warrior for 9 and 4

The two norkers hit the black ork for 2,1, with two claws missing with the bite; and 1,5, with a claw and a bite missing with one claw.

Mox and his crew are dancing, ie tumping toes and fighting in a clash for supremacy and otherwise negotiating religion with blood; curses and whatnot flowing freely.

anyone want to make a combat perception roll; you can; in combat I give a negative modifier to notice details unless your a warrior type class

Desidera; your stone goes skittering down the hall....you may be able to recover it later as you move farther in the dungeon if you keep an eye out for it.

Gloisil's attacks smite the bugbear....he is a tuff one, but looks pretty bad....moral roll.......passes; guess he doesnt care for his chances out of combat.

He roars an inspiring bellow to motivate his troops.

New round, is it 4?

Here? Are ye sayin' we've maybe had another fall behind? If so...might I suggest we dispense with this combat and move things along to a place of the DM's choosing and see if we can't get some more bod's to join? I, for one, do not want to see this game fall by the way side. We've come a long way and there's still more to go. *Bows*

Sunset; this is what I am refering to; this is not a new drop out; i have been npc'ing this character but now the online profile has changed from mage to ranger.

I'm going to have to bow out of the campaign, I've become busy with DMing too many in RL and some other school-related stuff. Feel free to resolve this in-game however you wish, and happy gaming.

additionally, i have posted in the past a few times on the open game looking for players board; feel free to do so as well, but no worries; game wont stop until I have no posters.

meaning I have lots and lots of ideas for a campaigns after this one for your characters to continually grow and impact the world.

by my count we have three active players; correct me if I am wrong; Gloisil, Desidera and Sunset.

The ogrekin flail away and miss and miss and miss and miss due to the optical damage.

Ok; lets make a quick list of who is here:

Sunset - Sea elf pc
Mox - Goblin npc with his new followers (maybe)
Kurg - Black Orc npc
Elysdyne - Human Celtic Knight; currently npc'd
Koridur - Dwarf warrior; currently npc'd
Gloisil - gnome pc
Desidera - human Greek/Roman healer pc
Gyldyr- Drow necromancer; currently npc'd

did I miss anyone; thing is I would like pc's to take over some players as having me npc three critical parts of the group tend to wreck scenarios as a pc should really lead and warrior tyeps generally do that. School should be over for Elysdyne so maybe he will be back and maybe not. but I am hoping someone wil take over Koridur and Gyldyr for the time being.

Spot check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 Well, an okay roll, but not great for during combat.

Seeing that the huge goblinoid creature is looking like it is close to going down in battle, Gloisil once again points his wand at it and tries to blast it with the two fiery rays that emerge from the wand.

Attack (Ray 1): 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 6, Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 2) = 16. Attack (Ray 2): 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 11, Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 5, 3) = 19.

Unfortunately, Gloisil is jostled just as he takes aim and the rays of energy shoot past the bugbear.

Jeez; what rare luck

Gloisil; by your observation; you can see that the moral of the forces against you is beginning to crumble; you may wish to consider what might happen is these guys flee....

Desidera and Sunset; still waiting for you actions; both warriors are very bloody....

Sunset will offer some soothing to any who might need it.

Are we done then, with the fighting?

no; none of the enemy has yet fallen; some goblins are hoping around and the norkers are not even scratched; the ogrillions are lightly wounded, but the Bugbear leader looks about dead.

Sunset will offer some soothing to any who might need it.

Are we done then, with the fighting?

Ah! *Nods* Okay...changing targets.

Sunset changes her aim and begins to target one of the Norkers.

Att Roll:1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11

Dam Roll:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

with a spark; your arrow skittlers off its shoulder doing no harm.

With dwindling sling stones, and no other ranged weapons that she knew how to use, Desidera seemed like she was rather helpless for now, but did what she could. Loading another sling stone, she let fly at the sparks.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22, Confirm:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15, Damage:2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

Desidera; this is not enough to crit a norker (Flatfoot ac 19); but the ydont have many hps; so kill one anyway.

Val, I've got a new Gyldyr built if you would like me to start posting for Gyldyr. Basically, went by what little information I could glean from past posts. He's still a Drow Necromancer, and the only things that I'm not sure about is how many class levels he had, and what equipment he had. Right now he's only got one class level, which gives him an effective level of three. I've kind of envisioned him as resorting to archery if not using magic, and hand to hand combat as a last resort.

I can just post his actions with Gloisil's, or I can create a new alias with a slightly different name if you'd prefer. If you need an action for him for this round, he will cast magic missle at one of the norkers. Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Sounds good gloisil, new alias would be fine.

ok; a norker screams from an M&M hit. New round.

Mox and boys manage to get controll over the forest goblins, now hoping around with bloody toes; and he leads them to gang overbear the norkers.

The Ogrillions; seeing things turn sour; turn to flee and make a full move action. The black ork, Kurg, who is very wounded, takes his attack of oppurtunity and misses. The celtic knight and the Bugbear trade blows; both go down, 5 foot step, Kurg coup de gras on the bugbear leader.

Sunset, Desidera, Glydyr and Gloisil still to act; situation; Three fleeing Ogrillions who are clearly cant see very well yet, Goblins fighting Norkers in a mass pile of tooth and claw savagery. Harolde off to the side a bit talking to a faintly glowing shape; your not sure what but it is short; perhaps 3 ft tall very faintly glowing cylindar.

Desidera

Sunset will take a 'Five Foot Step' closer to Harolde, to get a better sticky-beak at said funny glowing thing. Though covering the fight with her x-bow...But I don't think I have any clear targets...?

you have a clear target at the retreating Ogrillion; large target and range mod cancel each other out at this point.

the slightly glowy thing near Harolde is on its opposite side; make a perception roll for further info.

Att Roll:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Dam Roll:1d6 ⇒ 2

Nah...shoot bad guys first.

With the front line being scattered, Desidera stepped up to do what she knew how to do, which was make sure that none under her watch died, though she took care to avoid placing herself where a chance attack could do her harm. The first that she healed were those on the front line.
CLW on the closest fighter: 1d8 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 3 = 7

Gloisil takes aim at one of the Ogrillion's with his wand and once again utters the command word to cause it to shoot two fiery rays at the foe he is aiming at.

Attack (Ray 1): 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14, Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6, 1) = 9. Attack (Ray 2): 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 = 23, Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6, 5) = 21. Hopefully that will hit an Ogrillion with a ranged touch attack.

Sure does; with the shot from Sunset and the ray from Gloisil; the Ogrillion goes down smoking. With the heal from Desidera, the knight uses his action to get back up, he still bleeds from several deep wounds.

------
Unless the party elects to pursue; the surviving ogrillions flee leaving their dead comarade. The norker/goblin battle is pretty much over as the goblins eat the goblins nad norkers in a canabalistic frenzy.

Kurg slinks into the shadow of a wall and rests, waving off anyone who seeks to assist.

the Celtic knight "thank you priestess, for the blessing of your goddess"

Harolde motions to Gloisil, "sir, if I could trouble you for a few minutes, he hisses, you may wish to speak to this individual"

-------

exps for all; 3967 each

"Yes Harold, just a moment." Gloisil says as quickly checks to see who is injured, hoping that none of his comrades have fallen.

As he turns he then notices the glowing figure next to Harold. As he approaches he bows and says, "My name is Gloisil, you with to speak with me?"

Gloisil, with a start you realize you can see right through this spectal figure of a dwarf.

Harolde:
I present to you, Priest Kofor and to you I present my Master, Magus Murigel."

It turns it gaze you you, radiating both Law and Good.
"Are you the ones sent in Holy Kirin's quest to aid we who have fallen and preserve the world by protecting what is hidden?"

The speach is in dwarven in the manner of their clergy, his garb is that of a cleric of Dumathion

Not understanding the language of the spectral figure, Gloisil says, "Harold do you understand this dwarven speech, and can you act as a translator for me, so that I might speak with him?"

Assuming Harold says yes, and tells Gloisil what the dwarf said, Gloisil responds with the following:

Gloisil bows in respect to the spectral figure and then says, "Yes, we are those that were sent by the mighty Kirin to retrieve the artifact before it falls into the hands of those that would destroy the world."

"Our journey has been difficult and a few of those that have traveled with us have been lost. Although we have also found unexpected help from time to time, such as Harold who has guided us on this last part of our task."

Gloisil; it actually communicates telepathically.
------

The figure motions for you to follow and moves to the wall and through it.

Sunset moves about the wreckage of battle quickly salvaging what she can. Padding up on bear feet she is just in time to see the glowing thing disappear through a wall.

"Well....there either be a sekrit in there some how. Or Mr Glowy is bein' rude." She comments.

Perception:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Gloisil is slightly surprised at the figures form of communication, but instantly recognizes that it has it's benefits.

At seeing that the figure is motioning for them to follow it through the wall, Gloisil nervously follows, hands extended a bit in front of himself in case the wall turns out to be solid. Gloisil would rather scrap his hand than his nose on the rock wall.

Gyldyr relieved to see the enemy forces breaking up and leaving, checks the wounds he received from the Norkers. He sits heavily against a wall, badly injured, but not on the verge of death quite yet.

He watches Gloisil follow a glowing figure that is disappearing into the opposite wall, and mutters to himself, "Here he goes again, wonder how long he'll be gone this time."

He then stands and tries to follow the gnome sorcerer looking for a secret or concealed passage as he moves forward.

Spot: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 Unfortunately, the pain from his wounds has caused him not to be able to detect much of anything.

Briefly distracted by the glowing form and thinking about what was going on under this mountain, Desidera looked around at the others that had sustained injuries and went around to see what she could do. Despite still being suspicious of Gyldyr, she approached and laid a hand on him with a positive smile, channeling some of the magic that she had stored earlier this morning. Cure Minor Wounds: 4hp healed

When she had the opportunity, she would let the others know what she had come to understand about this place, and see if anything else could be done. Until then, she intended to do everything she could to keep everyone alive and well.
