<On his back. Bottle emptied. Looking up at his friends.>

"Whit th' buck es a coom onion?"

Like praying together for a barrel of ale to fall from the sky."

Oso points to the serpentine God, "but he don't want ale."

Pip rolls his eyes at Grazz't's feeble metaphysics

"Sure Moradin was some ancient dwarven cave dweller, Brandobaris was Hobbit-folk's first prank player and you were most likely some warlord caveman yourself. Everybody climbs up the ladder. I still don't want to be your b!tch. We'll keep doing what we're doing, and as the old saying goes, 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.' You wanna help us with information, that's great, if not, let us be on our merry way and we'll give ol' Goat Face something to howl about."

Gonna roll a bardic Knowledge to see what I can dredge up on Six-Finger Pete here ..

1d20+13=21 Blech

Oso points to the serpentine God, "but he don't want ale."

"Sad, sad, sad."

<Stig bends his neck back towards Grazz't.>

"In aw honest yer Arch-direness, withit ale aam afeard evin onie mair sloghterin' ay yer competitor's minions is pure oot ay e' kestion."

<Stig remains on his back. Understandable considering the prodigious bulk he hides under the dome of his girth.>

Playing Grazz't requires great deliberation.

"Gnnnnnnnnnnnnnrrrrrrrr"

<Tries to gnaw out a piece of pork ribs that got caught in Stig's belly button last month.>

Playing Grazz't requires great deliberation.

I've found it just takes tapping into the heinous ass that exists in all our psyches.

Naah, just having a b$&$$ of a weekend and a birthday party to try and prepare for.

No worries. I'm not really in THAT big of a hurry to have Grazz't reach in, pull out and feed me my own spine! ;P

<Tries to gnaw out a piece of pork ribs that got caught in Stig's belly button last month.>

"That tickles. Teeheeehee... hehehe."

Bump to avoid obscurity.

<Stig pulls himself up, scratches Tenser's head, and brushes his axe off.>

"Good laddie!"

Busy this weekend (ONE more dance show!) May not have time to post till Mon.

Allright f@+& it....

The room is a-L, 1-20. You guys are anywhere from d-L 17-20; need positions.
At a-c and j-L the whole length of the room, the middle chamber is bordered by columns upon columns 50 feet tall and so thick you cannot see the side walls only implied (and I do mean only) by my numbering system.
Graz'zt sits on a throne at f-g 1-2; again he has four arms and a serpent lower section like a lamia noble or the medusa from Clash of the Titans, and his lower two arms strum a metal guitar.

"Oh, piss on this all. You little s%$#s will never see sense. Pray to your gods, but know that you will service the lusts of Viper Trees in Azzagrat for all eternity."

Init; beat a 23. If you do, go ahead and go; if not, everybody call positions.

You got something...

Bump to avoid obscurity.

*paugh* my legend will live forever.

I19 for Oso, and I cannot beat 23 so I'll let someone with a bit of speed shoot for that initiative, Beldan?

Aspect, smashpect.

Init: 1d20+4=14

I'll do a map after the wee one is asleep, in a few hours.

I took liberties in the mappin'.

That's Stig and Oso's real positions. Everyone else can call it and I'll move them when enough folks have posted.

>>>>>MAP<<<<<

Pip: 1d20+3=19

On his turn Pip will set up Inspire Courage: +2 atk/dam/fear/charm

Strums Lucille

Ol' Grazz't came down to Saltmarsh
Lookin' for a soul to steal
See he was in a bind
He was way behind
And he was willing to make a deal

He came upon the Regulators
Kickin' @zz left and right
He jumped up and shouted to the band
'Boys you know how to fight!'

'Now you may not know this,
But I hate ol' Orcus too
If your willin'
To do some killin'
Then I got a deal for you!

I'll give you whatever you ask for
Just give me what I need from you.
Y'all pledge your soul
To my control
And y'all be my lieutenants true.

The Regualtors laughed long and hard
When they heard ol' Grazz't's spiel.
'Power and gold and all that junk
might have some faint appeal.
But we're the Regulators
And we dance to no demon's tune
Now get out of our way
We got things to slay
And if you stand fast it just might be you!'

"You shall be back in Azzagrat momentarily, you cheap facsimile of Grattz, wondering why you wasted the time and effort to show what a douche you are. Our epic story will grow and the bards will sing verses of your ineptitude for millenia. Prepare to lose your copy for you face Riese and The Regulators and OUR will shall be done!"
Riese prepares for death.
Put Riese back near the wall and stairway, say at I20.

He also has three.......thingies.

Minions? Or signature items? Either way, he goes first.

Also, my map position is OK.

dingalings. 3 dingalings.

Perfectly happy with my position (as the actress said to the bishop).

she likes him cos he only moves his piece diagonally.

>>>>>MAP<<<<<

Pip; Elgan; Beldan to call position, then its' on, b#*@%es!

Awesome map dude. I'm good with that starting position. If we're doing individual init, 13+9 = 22 for me.

I think we was just doing group....

Cool. I think either way he goes first.

Init:1d20+2=14

If'n Beldan cain't beat a 23, then the rest o' us 'er plain outta luck!

Elgan's eyes widen, and he gulps visibly and audibly at Grazzt's pronouncement. As Pip howls out his catchy tune, Elgan's features lose their frightened look, and he grins as his toe begins tapping in time with the clever lyrics.

Will go when it's my turn, my place on the map is fine, thx.

And GREAT lyrics! :) I actually wrote the words to 'The devil went down to New Orleans' once, but I like yours better!

Grazz't moves to fg 3-4
"fire on the mount, run boys run...."
black fire shoots from his finger tips as he resins up his bow, shooting out at Stiggy....22 h.p. in damage. No save.
"Grazz'ts in the house of the rising sun...."
his tune tries to swiftly seduce Elgan....
"chicken's in the breadpan pickin up dough..."
Elgan make a d.c. 26 wil save or immediately attack your nearest comrade.
"granny does your dog bite?"

If you attack Graz'zt.....

(lol)I heard that song on the radio a couple weeks ago, and decided then to give Graz'zt a steel guitar.

You guys' attack.

Altai casts Protection from evil on Gittik. Having him dominated would well and truly suck.

heheheheh....;)

Beldan moves to K18 and attempts to hide in the shadows amongst the columns. Hide: 13+19 = 32

Beldan:

Oso quickly moves to the middle of the party, just behind Gittik and calls on Kelanen to bolster his comrades.

mass conviction, everyone within 20ft radius gets +3 morale bonus to all saves for 70 minutes. That's everyone by my reckoning.

"Thank you, dat Grazzt is looking for dee wrong souls to steal."

>>>>>MAP<<<<<

Pip; Elgan; Beldan to call position, then its' on, b@&*%es!

Pip is next to Oso as always.. :)

Don't forget the +2 on charm and fear saves Pip's catchy tune provides. Looks like we might just need'em!

Fire off the port bow
Fight boys fight!
Got Ol' Grazz't
Right in sight
Stiggy with an axeblow
Cutting down trees
Aim that brushcutter
At Grazz't's knees!"

Lucille solo

"So, this ass-pect? No real Grazzt? So we no scare now, we kill him, yes?"

"Indeed. Don't let me stop you, Gittik."

I guess that'll put Oso at g18; Pip at f18.

Stiggy, Gittik, Riese, and Elgan are up. In addition, Elgan needs to save, and if Elgan fails, attack a partymember.
[edited for clarity]

We all save? I thought it was only Elgan.

Sorry; just Elgan....my phrasing was poor.

What's the duration on the Torc of Displacement charge?

1 charge gives a 20% miss chance and can go for 3 rounds
2 charges give a 30% miss chance for 2 rounds
3 charges give a 40% miss chance for one round.
3 charges per day.

Thus, each charge has a one-round duration.

Indubitably.

Immediate action, displace - 3 rounds.

<Stig quoffs a potion.>

Cure serious wounds, start fresh again. 3d8+3=21

Fight defensively (AC 23). 5 foot step toward Graz'zt.

Taunt.

"At first Ah thooght we micht be in trooble. But yer flickin' 'at black booger mince wasnae much waurs 'at gettin' cuffed athwart th' heed by Mammy fur skitin' tay much swally. Noo aam bonnie sure yoo're gonn doon y'effete scoottle fingered snake buggerin' daemon hooser."

"Light 'im oop boyos."

heh heh heh.....
He roars in fury. A hot, spicily perfumed breath wafts in your face.
