Ok; we will go with fire protection for everyone.
Baelinor, what energy was it if your reading this? Otherwise; will make a random table and just roll to see what it is; could be fire, force; cold; eletricity; ect.
you think he (Astinos) worships either the Summarion God of Death and Taxes or the Egyptian diety of plague and abberation; wierd though; his aura feels full of goodness and confidence.
Need a roll for each person as they all are different and have different modifier, lol and Astionos's was the easiest.
Religion check is 4 (1d20) with no other modifiers so = 4Astinos and anyone else with religion; may make a religious knowledge roll when looking upon Kosan's gear.
Kosan; you may make a religious knowledge roll looking at Nebibit; Astinos, and Jewel.
Ok; you see several type possible familiars and pets; a Raven; a big Bat; and a housecat, and near Llevenoc is the body of a 12 long slightly charred snake.
Then My lady we are friends and may I say that you have an interesting bird."Friend of foe?""I am told that I should say 'friend.' But at the same time, without knowing who you are and what your goals and intentions are, I do not know if that is truth or lie, and lies do not sit well on my tongue. If you oppose the undead and seek to stop the destruction of the sun and halt the pestilence that spreads across the lands of the living, then I am friend."
You think the dwarf follows the diety called Great Dum Dum - The Silent God of Hiding Gems in the Earth. (the symbol is a iron fist clutching a gem.
The main premise of this religion is to take and redistribut treasure and not tell anyone where you put it; hmm; a god of thieves.)
Did anyone else collapse other than Nebebit?
Llevenoc: your think the dwarf follows Dumathion; Hider of secrets under the mountain; Lord of Silence, He Who Does Not Speak, his sect of Priests is rare; followers very uncommon; but the drow often find them in groups gaurding some near worthless underground place; they fight to the last then blow up the entire area Jihad style so that no one can get the secret they are hiding. Drow have sacked these places; then had slaves dig out these areas and never found anything. Whatever secrets they hide; they are good at it; their high priest is Kojan; that dwarf you saw up top; you have heard him some scant mentioned in the last couple months on your time on the surface.
Reposting poison info for Llvenoc and any others:
you need to take poison saves; dc 18; <Fort> would be worst but fire burns it up but that is what makes the extreme wind.
Ok; guys in the hall for the poison gas; same as above; Thoronhen; add +2 to you save as you like 30 ft back down the hall; Kalona add +1 to your save.
ok; the Poison; fail save; fall unconcious; primary damage; unconsciousness 1d6 turns + 5d6 damage; 19pts; save for half damage, Nausea 2d8 rounds (5) -3 all actions; secondary damage will be posted when the time interval occurs.
Well meet Secret Keeper.
Kalona, flies off the skeleton and re-positions herself.
"All please grab your things and stand clear of this path. I forsee a strong wind with no rain clouds in mere moments." Those who can see the sparkle in her eye, knows she is amused.
Then begins whistling a tune. As she sings a soft breeze starts flowing from her, slowly at first and then into a full raging gale, sweeping the area of all vapors, fumes, dust, glass and anything else not heavy enough to resist the force.
Ye whistle a good wind Kalona, does this mean ye are windbag?
Leave her be; can you not see with even your eyes that I am attending her; if you have sweet water or some other anti poison agent; then have over; otherwise stand clear and let Grymble and I attend them.
Grymble, what can you do for poison?
Well meet Secret Keeper.
Ok; the poison is pushed back; no one is required to make another poison check; also the fires in this area are blown out.
What is everyone doing now.
Jewel is attending Nebibit
June and March have their heads together; but no communication can be heard.
Falco will hiss dangerously at anyone who comes near Kenembi; guess the bat is irritated about something.

"What is it, Falco? Do you sense something?"
Namaste only:
Nay, Mistress; only that these louts have carelessly placed you in danger, they should be chastized; whipped into learning to be more careful. The Ice Mistress tells me that the woes of stupidity is pain; I dont understand, but I hear this male drow bellyaching about his wounds; gifts from the mistress for him to learn to be more wise in his dealings.
But this dwarf and this explosion; this gas that burns my eyes; I am do dim in understanding to learn from this; what can it mean. I see no fault of ours; but then, look at you; uninjured; you must be wise; Our Mistress blesses us for I too am uninjured.
now they pester lol about; hardly a concern for each other; a pack of vermin when they should be wolves.
you must guide them my Mistress; guide them and decide; do we go right or do we go left? The Dwarf comes from the right; perhaps he can tell of that direction.
Ok; Jewel will apply it with skill to the unconscious Nebibit.
After a few moments; Nebibit's eyes open and she eyes clear and her breath becomes regular; bit of coughing and phlemn; but otherwise cured of the poison.
Leave her be; can you not see with even your eyes that I am attending her; if you have sweet water or some other anti poison agent; then have over; otherwise stand clear and let Grymble and I attend them.
I would advise everyone wipe off their armor and weapons at the earliest convience; this gas will have left residue on it and will have mixed with your pespiration; it would be wise to clean everything so that we do not risk further contact and get repoisoned by injesting secondary contact.
Llevenoc; this was very noisy; it made the floor tremble; stand guard at the T; Thoronhen; please join him; you two archers cover us while we get situated.
Namaste, Nebibit will need a few moments to regain her health; Kenembi looks ok; but I know little of their kind; what course shall we take?
Brave and sturdy Dwarven Hero; my sister and I great thee. We have heard of the Dwarfs and hope that you will aid us and help us in this parties quest. Dwarven stonecunning is a thing of legend; can you tell us Master, if this hall is safe; in the room behind us before; and in this hall now since the explosion; the ground has rumbled and dust and rock falls from the roof over our heads; we do not wish to be entombed here; is this hall still safe?

Alright.
Lady Jewel, even if it is not necessary now, to answer ye question, I did not request that power from me Lady. If ye would like. I can request the power to delay the effects of poison from me Lady next time I prayer to her.
Ok; if there is no adjustment; I assume the party is going forward.
I would like and initiative roll from each person; and three spot rolls; and two miscellaneous rolls that I can use for any special skills a character might have that applies for me to mention something.

yeah; that happens to me too; I post something and go back later and it gone; wierd. Postmoster eats them.

No; everyone who saved has nausea 5 rounds.
No there is not mention of Kosan in anything you remember; if he or any other dwarven would have been on the surface world maybe you would have heard; but remember; back in your homeland; the dwarves dissappeared a couple years back and nobody has seen or heard from them.
The dusty dwarf waits out the explosion, Stands up and proclaims "Uller take you into his mead hall, Rest now my comrades, rest." He looks around at the cowering mass of dusty non-dwarfs and grips his axe and proclaims to them All "Friend or foe and be quick about answering."
Friend an why is quickness needed if you are among friends. If you where amung enemys you would have found out very quickly with a stab in the gut.

Nebibit rolls onto her side and coughs for a few minutes her mind a whir, How did she end up on the floor? Her mind wanders back through the last few minutes. Tunnels, A dwarf, explosion.......Explosion???. She trys to surge to her feet but instead slumps against the wall as the last few traces of tiredness take a momentarily toll.
Her face is a mixture of emotions embaressment at being seen in such a pathetic state and anger at being put in this state to begin with.
Ye whistle a good wind Kalona, does this mean ye are windbag?
"hehe...cough, cough..heh. Maybe so, heh. I suppose that green about your horns would then make you a greenhorn?" A sparkle in her eye then another bout of coughing and she reaches again under her wing and, with a bit of effort, out comes a waterskin and a bowl.
One of the skeletons comes over and poors some water in the bowl then picks it up and dumps it on her. He repeats a couple of times and she shakes a bit and picks at a few feathers here and there then sticks her head into a finally filled bowl and proceeds to gargle a bit till satisfied. The skeleton corks the waterskin and she proceeds to shove it and the bowl back under her wing where they disappear.
"Ahh, much better...cough."
I will position a skeleton at each hallway facing away from the T and have it play guard duty (if it notices something have it point at it, if something attacks have it return to me).
"Well, know I know why the shaman's always insisted on holding a proper burning of the dead." Eyes the dwarf...
"Oh and if we are going to practice some extensive healing magic...that is not from items and such and generally its better to deal with more than one spell, please let me know I can lend a hand."

Fort save vs Poison gas:1d20+4=17
Kemnebi stands up from the initial explosion and pats at his smoking, but otherwise unharmed exposed fur. His familiar hangs onto his shoulder, giving him a verbal dressing down with much 'mrowr'ing and hissing.
"Nebibit!" He cries as his fellow bipedal feline collapses under the influence of the gas. He starts to catch her, but sways as she hits the floor. His eyes roll up into his head, and he collapses after, and probably on top of, Nebibit.
Second poison save: 1d20+4=24 YAY!
"Friend Kosan, can you tell us what you know of these corridors? Do you know what lies to the left, or to the right beyond the room that you just, uh, blew up?"
Nebibit's face goes from its current look to one of shock and fear as she notices Kemnebi lying on the floor. Ignoring her still swimming head she quickly crosses over to where he is lying and kneels beside him "Livenoc do you still have that vial of antidote from earlier?" She then looks to see if Kemnebi's familiar is okay as well.
KK

You would know to tell it what is a threat; it is mindless and cant tell freind from foe which is why it is common for most necromancers to say; attack anything that crosses that line and statements like that.
If you tell a skelly to guard; you have to tell it what to guard; keep in mind the 25 word limit and that if its instructions conflict it might do random things.

hehe sometimes the hallways leans to the left; sometimes to the right...

I dont have a problem with at will Orison; or ) level spells; but want full agreement; if we do this it will be for all ) level spells; divine; arcane; mental so no class gets cheated; I used to not have clerics memorize spells as they just channel power; but in 3.5 that really doesnt work anymore.
so; concensus agreement on rule change please.
QUOTE="Namaste"] "Friend Kosan, can you tell us what you know of these corridors? Do you know what lies to the left, or to the right beyond the room that you just, uh, blew up?"
Kenembi's familiar; I usually have familiars follow the character for saves and such, so Kenembi; please update us on your familiar's status due to poison.
Llevenoc, how many doses are in the vial you handed The Jewel?
Kemnebi's familiar makes a few unpleasant wretching sounds, like she has a particularly nasty furball. But the cat is up and moving on her own, batting at Kemnebi's unresponsive face with one paw.
You would know to tell it what is a threat; it is mindless and cant tell freind from foe which is why it is common for most necromancers to say; attack anything that crosses that line and statements like that.
To clarify. The skeleton's move 20' in either direction from the T. They face away from the T. The "guard" statement is.
Point at anything coming from the direction facing. If attacked return to me.
"Please do not go past the skeleton's at this time, they will point at you and that would be less than helpful. Keep an eye on them, if they point that means something is there."
Nebibit's face goes from its current look to one of shock and fear as she notices Kemnebi lying on the floor. Ignoring her still swimming head she quickly crosses over to where he is lying and kneels beside him "Livenoc do you still have that vial of antidote from earlier?" She then looks to see if Kemnebi's familiar is okay as well.
I handed it to the Jewel. She used it to treat you. There should be one dose left to help Kemnebi. After that I am out.
save for less damage; which was 9 and nausea; was a fort save.
Kemnebi's familiar makes a few unpleasant wretching sounds, like she has a particularly nasty furball. But the cat is up and moving on her own, batting at Kemnebi's unresponsive face with one paw.
ok; Jewel applies the second and last antidote to Kenembi; and he begins to revive; enough time has passed (5 rounds) that the nausea passes. It would seem with the noise of the explosion; some response is emminent... <I think we are waiting on Kosan to tell about the room>
Religion check for Nebibit: 4 (1d20) + no Modifiers = 4
Religion check for Jewel: 15 (1d20) + no Modifiers = 15
Using stone cunning do a search to check the stability of the general Area: 20 (1d20) + 2 (stone cunning) + 4 (glasses) + 3 (Int Mod) = 29 (is this area safe from cave in)
Who's in charge here so I can tell ye about what lies ahead in the area I just purified:
There is a room down the hall. The room is an octagon; one side has the stairwell you come down from inside the bathhouse; the opposite side has a stairwell going down (this is where I saw undead creatures coming from when my last party was attacked). There is also 90 degrees from the two stairs; a hallway; the other sections have doors; one of which is the supply room where I put a friend (a sleeping Bear) who is currently hibernating due to his injuries sustained in our battle.
The room is 100 ft in any direction. Inside the room was all kinds of weird science experiments with vials of unknown going from bottle to bottle and dripping contents on into beakers or sometimes a necrotic cist or appendage or organ like a heart or brain in a jar. There is also several cutting tables and saws and scalpels and grippers and the like; there is also a mini ferris wheel that is about 25" in diameter and has several corpses tied to it; the gears that turn it grind; it dunks each corpse into some nefarious liquid that has electricity going through it. I even think the eyes I saw in a beaker blinked at me and followed me around the room (No head, No face, just eyes and eyelids.
There is a large, horribly smelling vat of rotting fleshy parts; and there is a table with all kinds of runic magic symbols; in the center of the floor is a great motif to Pluto; God of the Dead; and a small shrine to him was set centered on the room across from the hall; the shrine was surrounded by 30 or 40 or so skulls with candles on their heads to light the room.; there were also many other candelabras and spell materials and the like for making zombies and skeletons.
I say we go through the room and go down the hall.
"It sounds as if that room is the center of months of hard work. I say we sabotage it all. Slow them down. Our enemies already knw we are here to some extent. I say we give them something else to worry about."
Who's in charge here so I can tell ye about what lies ahead in the area I just purified:
"I seem to have been elected the leader of our band, for the time being. I am Namaste, First Daughter of the Merchant House of Lusk in Adar. I am a student of the mental disciplines of the Path of Light. Some call me a mind witch or a mind mage, I am a Psion.
"Allow me to introduce my companions. These two are Llvenoc and the Jewel. I will simply say that Jewel is a member of the Royal houses of the Drow, as I do not wish to insult her by incorrectly stating her precise position in my unfortunate ignorance of Drow Regency. Llvenoc can give her introduction more justice, I believe.
"This is Astinos, a holy warrior and paladin. The cat people are Kemnebi, a delightfully jubilant young mage, and Nebibit, a priestess who showed remarkable resolve against an onslaught of snakes sometime earlier. The two ladies tending to Kemnebi and Astinos are the Ladies Decidio and Iunius, who we also call March and June. The one there with the stature of a molehill but the courage of a mountain is Grymbol, a warrior priest. The wary one there with the keen eyes and ears is ThoronHen. And our newest addition, the whimsical bird, is Kalona, along with a few skeletons she managed to turn into puppets. We are here at the behest of the Oracle of Apollo to seek a chained goddess."
hehe; one correction of Kosan's statement; guess I was unclear in my email to him; the hallway he saw is the one you guys are all in now; so the room he came from has a way out; and a way down and of course the hall you are in continues left or east if your orienting from the pool room.
ok; Kosan; you think Nebibit worships the Babylonian Goddess Ishtar; goddess of War and mad sexy kittycat lovin free to all who ask though gifts, ie paymentbut dont call it that, is expected. Growwlll :)
Now Jewel is a way fine sculpted drow female; but is wearing an Oni mask; and Oni is a oriental demon, so the mask is bit horrific and very detailed. A mask like that means ties to the Emperor Sebastion. When casting the spell on Nebibit to give her a resave against poison; she held out her holy symblol which was a perfect black sphere with darker black bands; possibly banded black quartz crystal.
As Namaste mentions that Grymble is a priest; you can roll on his holy symbol as well.
If anyone else displays one; might as well speak up so we cant get all this introductory stuff done.
Oh; and Thoronhen who comes up to guard the hallway is one of them high elves; shoot; and you thought they all went south and good riddance; now two drow and a high elf happy as clams; sheesh; what next; cats and dogs living together; well; you got three cats here and a bear in hidaway hehe; what next lion lay down with the lamb?
considering the size of that explosion; you can guess that room is probably pretty damaged; probably best to check though.
"It sounds as if that room is the center of months of hard work. I say we sabotage it all. Slow them down. Our enemies already knw we are here to some extent. I say we give them something else to worry about."
"It sounds as if that room is the center of months of hard work. I say we sabotage it all. Slow them down. Our enemies already knw we are here to some extent. I say we give them something else to worry about."
"If there is anything left that wasn't destroyed in the explosion, I'd like our mages to take a look at things before we destroy what's left. It may give us some insight into what lies ahead, especially if it's not just the usual undead, but also mad, er, alchemists' creations."
