[ooc]I gotta crash; gotta get up waaaaay to early tomorrow morning.

ALZO, I gotta build whatever's next (mwahahaha!) which I just figured out today at work.

so that'll need to be done tomorrow night, so I might not be as frenetic a poster on the game thread tomorrow, since I need to build something...
also on call Fri/Sat/Sunday(Halloween *snif)
so don't know if I'll be around much or not;
but I need a day or two to slap something together anyways.
Thought I'd get to it tonite; ended up running a chase scene.....

She looks down at herself, looks at you; laughs.

"But a wee bit skinny fur stewin' Ah hink."


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Ok, it's pretty bad when I can't decipher what Elgan's supposed to be saying! ;)

Elgan wanders around the area, examining the nature while others recoup and chat. He wanders over to their giant guide.

"Say dere chere'. Dat dere' gi-ant owlbeah we sawr, iz dat normal roun' heah? Ah mean, ah knowz dat dey grow big, and ah'm shewwer dat dey groow'm big roun' heah, but dat wuz,... BIG!"

HOONOW! DAH! HOOEEE!

bad cajun....

Gjetost answers; "that was just a cub..." in a convincing granite monotone....rock giant. ultimate straight guy.
"I'm joking. I've seen bigger, but...yeah. that's about the norm.
wow; your owlbears must be kitty cats.
and the trolls are all stupid.....what an odd world you come from."


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Then Gjetost gets serious.

"Night falls soon. Two hours....We should bivouac sooner than later."

A Possible Choice: there's a slight rise you spot two hundred yards north westish.
It's 50 feet higher than the surrounding land, with a sheer drop on the south; an easier slope on the north; the apex is about 100 feet long east to west, 25 feet wide level ground north to south betwixt the drop and the beginning of the slope to the north.
At the base of the drop is a frozen bog pond; it connects with the river you just fought on; it's say 50 feet by 50 feet and the river fed into it from a carved channel from the northwest.

Where you wanna set up camp; and what are your logistics?....


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

You know, playing a druid, I SHOULD be able to do something useful, even here in another plane,... Set wards, entangle bomb traps,... something! ;P

Elgan, (the former ultimate straight man), looks hard at Gjetost. He gives a small gulp, but otherwise his expression doesn't change.

"Yep. Kitty cats. Dat's whut ah aluus call'em. A'll jes go see 'bout hel'pin wit settin' up camp now,..."


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

and....I'm ready to roll.....mwahahahaha!!!


dungeonmaster heathy wrote:

Fire. Drink. Sleep under furs.


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

Logistics: the wizard casting Leomund's secure shelter, specially prepared for situations like this. That should get us a good night's sleep.

"Or, well, yeah,... Dat'll wurk tew,..." Elgan mumbles in awe as Altai casts his shelter spell. The druid nonchalantly drops the branches he was carrying and surreptitiously kicks them to the side out of sight.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Any other contingencies/plans/etc?
Anybody on watch?
Do you wanna put the shelter on a hill, or just in the woods?

Oh; fun......I got home and then got called in on call, so I'll be gone for the next four hours at least. I'm really sore and tired, so I'll prolly call it a night.

On call all weekend too; don't know how much I'll be around cos it's Halloween and I figure many of you guys will be celebrating anyhow's...


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

I'll try to check in though; cos I love this game.


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

Well, the Secure shelter creates a kinda cramped stone hut. It is resistant to attacks and won't burn. Beyond that, we need to cook our own food, heat the hut, set a watch etc.

"The spell is extremely useful, but the hut is neither invisible nor impervious to attacks. It should be erected somewhere relatively safe."

If we put in on the hilltop, we'll be in a defensible position, but it will also be easy to see. So I lean towards setting it up in the gnarliest thicket we can find - if nobody can find it, we won't have to defend it at all. Two people on watch at all times, using our two sets of Goggles of night.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

You find a thicket; it's full of youngish, 1 foot diameter trees. The snow's beat down all the underbrush. You can walk through this ground at normal speed; can't move double speed without a d.c. 10 acrobatics check. Running.....forget about it. It's a good 200 feet by 200 feet of really hard to move through ground. Choose your spot to erect your secure shelter. Tell me if you think this sounds cool to set up or not. Snowdrifts; about 2-3 foot tall, moguls....

Who's on watch first?
and....where the watchers are.
Inside? Outside? If outside, I need distance from the shelter, or on the roof of the shelter; that sorta thing.


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

I like the sound of that. We'll put the shelter up in the middle of the thicket. Guard schedule, two hour shifts: Altai and Stig/Pip and Gjetost/Beldan and Hnoss, then Elgan and Altai/Stig and Pip etc. Claw is always on guard next to the door.

I was thinking that we'll keep everybody inside the hut. Walking around outside seems a bit too dangerous. I'll memorise an Alarm spell so that we'll have a better security system for the next night and onwards.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Right on.

The two on first shift, Altai and Stiggy about 1/2 hour after your shift begins.....

Perception zero: the first thing you notice is a solitary howling wolf far off.
Then another.

Another joins the chorus every two minutes, until, 10 minutes later the night is tranformed into a world of darkness and wolfsong.
The cheeldrin off the night.....they are singink....
it goes on for about half an hour,.....and

what are you doing, if anything?

me, I'm crashing IRL. week from hell, two more days of call; I got nothing left. See you guys later.


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

Altai puts down his tea mug and spellbook as the howling gains in strength. "Uh, Stig... While wolves don't really worry me much as long as we're inside a solid structure like this, I still think this is weird. Maybe we should ask one of the locals what's going on?" Altai nods at the sleeping forms of Gjetost and Hnoss. "Or maybe I should get that scrying spell going first?"


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Elgan listens to the wolfs howling, and Altai's questions.

"Yeh. Iz beeyuteeful, ain't it chere'?" The druid asks, staring off into nothing as he relives days of his youth.

He throws his head back and howls himself, in tune with the chorus outside.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Do you scry?


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

Yeah. I want the Clairvoyance sensor about 100' above the cabin. That should give us a good overview of what's going on.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

SHEEESH!!!

A pack of biiiiiig wolves. Maybe horse size, maybe bigger. Lopes up; surrounds the cabin.
You spy with your little eye.....12, or 13.
One starts scratching at the door; as well as one at each window.

make a perception check....


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

Perception 11+6=17. The hut

"Damn. You obviously knew already that there are a bunch of wolves out there, but these guys are big. 10-15 of them, the size of draft horses."


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Then they're all howling and baying.
EVERYBODY'S awake if they're not allready.
cept for Stiggy.
He don't wake up that easy.
But he's on guard duty, so he's awake.

At this point, I gotta wait; see if anybody else wants to do anything or whatever.

Hnoss stirs; starts armoring up.
"Nobody look!" she says; grinning.

anybody who looks, make a d.c. 20 wil save.
if not, AND you're heterosexual or um bi,

Spoiler:
you start crying.


Bard 8/ Troubadour of Stars 9 Epic Shredder

Guh, so behind. I burn a few cure spells and such to get back up to snuff on hitpoints

Will save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Pip begins bawling and strumming Lucille in a twangy fashion

"What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away

And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do"

CLW SPELLS:

1d8 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 131d8 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 171d8 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 171d8 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

I can get anyone else who neeeds a bump, just holler


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

It's all good Pipster; Hnossy healed everybody up.

<Whispering to Beldan and Altai.>

"She's loch a walkin' tooth pick. She'd probby oan 'er bik in mah belly button if Ah moonted 'er. Och aye, picture 'at laddies."


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

Once again, I made that save. :D

"It... It could happen, I guess. She does look rather thin and frail."


Male Human Rogue 14

“Godsdamnit, if everyone else is looking, I’m looking,” whispers Beldan, sneaking a look from the shadows. Stealth: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (9) + 33 = 42, Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

~sniff~ “She’s not thin and frail,” Beldan whispers fiercely. (quiet sob) “She’s slim and beautiful like … a nymph … or a … tree … or a high class prostitute …” ~sniff~ “And don’t you talk about her that way, don't you dare put that picture in my head Stig, oh gods …” (sobs into his hands). "She's too beautiful to sully with sex ..."

Beldan soon calms down, pulled back to reality by the howling of giant wolves at the door.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

"Don't.....say that around here.....you never know what might happen."

Ogay; what now?


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

Do they seem intelligent or like they are following some sort of instructions? Otherwise we should be fine, as they can't open the door or windows.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

I guess...sense motive roll....


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

Um, Sense Motive? 12+1(untrained WIS)=13. Are they grouped up two by each window, six by the door and the last four assembling some sort of explosive charge?


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

[ooc]They're just milling about, circling the cabin. They haven't formed up in any sort of Special Ops form-a-perimeter-cover-the-insertion-team sort of way.[ooc]
Your....gut feeling, though: you can't really place your finger on it, but this seems like....they're trying to "act natural" somehow. Something tells you that there's more to this than a pack of dumb wolves. It's.....too nice. Altogether too f~&!ing convenient.
THAT'S your gut feeling.


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

"Huh. I think they are waiting for someone or something to show up. Elgan, can you talk to them? Through the window, obviously."


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Is he gonna open the window?


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Elgan peeks out the windows, looking at the wolves,...

Finally, something I can be useful at! :) Just looking, not opening, yet.

Nature check;
1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

One of the wolves backs up to 5 feet away when the elf opens the shutter a bit. The rest back around either side of the house and watch the (brave?) one. Altai can see them. They look like they're getting away from view of the window.

The (brave?) one sits before Elgan; says "good evening!" in wolfspeak. "I say,...do you happen to have any food? I'm oh so hungry, boss."


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

He's ginormous (well....."large") this big black wolf the size of a Clydesdale.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Oh, and Altai;.....the other ones around the corner appear to all be sniffing the breeze, or sniffing the walls of the cabin.


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

"Tell him that we can see his wolf buddies, and would appreciate it if they back off a bit. Also, ask him who they are waiting for. Hnoss, Gjetost, do you know much about the wolves of Jotunheim?"


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

"Yeah. Hey; you guys....back off!
Sorry; they're kinda goofy."
the majority of them slink off; one stays along with the talking guy.

Hnoss: "they're pack predators. They'll attack men...."

Gjetost: "I don't think they're too bad. They've always left me alone.
Hmmm....those are big though. I've heard of bigger....I don't know if they'd mess with me or not."


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

"Hey," asks the wolf; "this house wasn't here yesterday. We should know. How you guys make it so fast anyway's?"

off to prepare for trick-or-treating......huzzah!


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Trick or treating was fun!

Elgan smiles at the wolf outside. He growls, snarls and woofs,...

Wolfspeak
"Hail big brother! This structure was constructed by magic, it will be gone when we leave, leaving your land untouched."

"Well, if it is food you are after, I am sure that we can probably spare some of ours. Indeed I would be honored to do so. But tell me Big Brother, is the hunting not good around here? Surely such a magnificent pack such as yourselves should have no problem filling your packs bellies??"
He asks.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

"No. Not good.
Most things here are allready dead, and tough as leather...."
