Am I right in assuming that this campaign has officially died?

I'm back :-). Hopefully to stay

"Lets just proceed as before, wandering in as if we belong here. Its worked so far! Maybe the fact that we're obviously strangers will work in our favour."

Naajy puts a few ribbons on Haamid, hopefully making him a little less dangerous looking (a reminder, Haamid is still fairly young and, for a tiger, "small")

He makes sure his gun is available but NOT in hand

I'm sorry that I haven't posted for awhile. Life got really, really crazy and I just didn't have time and/or net access. I should be able to catch up on all my games tomorrow

"Perhaps we should try and sneak in? We're pretty obviously STRANGE here and I find it doubtful that we'll come up with any story that they'll buy"

Sorry for my going quiet.

My power has been out since Monday (and is still out). Will catch up when I can. Please bot me until then

"Lets try and conserve ammo shall we? Haamid, try and scare them off please"

Haamid roars as loudly as he can!

"Magic is the explanation for everything here AND back home. Its just a little more obvious to the eye here."

Naajy does NOT approach closer than the Elk allows (ie, he stays 50+ feet back)

"This world has wonderous things as well as terrible."

Naajy holds back Haamid to make sure that he does not attack.

Can I try a Handle animal to try and approach the elk? Not touch it approach, just get a little closer and try and convince it that we mean no harm

handle animal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

"Unfortunately, most of the people here who know magic seem to be witches. And they aren't that friendly. Or, at least, haven't been.

We need to try and find one of their enemies. Maybe the enemy of our enemy can become our guide in this strange land?"

Naajy stumbles to his feet

"Wha? What happened? Last thing I remember I was inside the cave. What is all this burnt moss? Wait, my clothes got burned. WHAT HAPPENED? And why is Haamid in my lap?"

Thanks all. Much appreciated

"Sorry. we'll have to discuss this later. Don't mean to be rude but "

Naajy manages to get out before he lies down and starts to nap

Naajy steps toward Digger

"What are you talking about? I'm a loyal subject to BOTH my Rajah AND to The Emperor of India, His Royal Highness!. Nobody is invading EITHER Britain OR India. The War is, of course, terrible but I'm certainly NOT under the influence of battle fatigue"

"How could I be never having seen battle!"

I think I need GM guidance on how to react. For what its worth...

sense motive: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Haamid snears "Nothing affects the cat. Except, maybe, tummy rubs"

Just letting you know that I AM still here :-). And appreciating what sounds like a rescue mission :-) :-)

"Look, I'm NOT leaving the cave. If you all don't want to take advantage of what the symbiote has to offer that is fine. Just go and leave me alone!"

With that, Naajy draws his gun and trains it on the others, while standing behind Haamid

"I don't know what you're talking about. You ATTACKED the symbiote (you brutes!!!!!) and it defended itself. Haamid, come protect me"

Haamid positions himself between the group and Naajy

I think I need GM guidance on how to proceed at this point :-)

Yes, sorry. Naajy and Haamid are just observing things

Using Sensitive Intuition AND Faith for the bluff check

bluff: 1d20 + 13 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 5 = 34

Pretty much everybody believes that Naajy has taken the poison and that the symbiotic moss heals him of it :-)

My intent here is to use my Mesmerism ability to convince William that I have actually taken a mild poison (while, of course, not) and that it momentarily affects me and is then essentially immediately cured. Is that a reasonable use of the skill? (obviously, dice rolls will determine if it works, but is the use itself reasonable?. Assuming it is :

"Just a mild poison, sure. As I say, I'm not totally sure how effective it would be. So, no cyanide please :-). But something?"

"Ah, I'm definitely getting an impression from the mold. Its some form of magical symbiote, it acts to strengthen and protect the host in exchange for the host helping to protect it as well. Its quite benign, both parties gain greatly in the process."

With that, he calls Haamid over and places a bit of mold onto the tigers back.

"Its obviously up to you, but I recommend that you all take a bit of the mold. It makes you stronger, resistant to pain, and it can even cure fairly significant wounds and cleanse poisons. I'm not sure exactly how effective it is. Dr Johnson, can I apply some to you? With your medical knowledge you should be better able to gauge how useful it actually is"

"Lets see if I can figure something out, shall we?"

With that, Naajy goes up and touches the person and (if allowed) the moss on its back. Trying psychometry on both

appraise person: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
appraise moss specfically: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

And, just in case, he'll try sensitive intuition to see if that gets him a feel for what happened and, more importantly, what can be done about it.

sensitive intuition: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

"Wait, I'm not sure that this IS a moss troll. Whatever that is. It is NOT what we fought before and I THINK that it is human.

Maybe we should talk to him before just attacking him?"

Naajy also draws his gun and readies to unleash the Pussy Cat of Doom

Careful approaches are good

Earlier:
"I apologize for my rudeness. I am Naajy and this is my friend Haamid. We're from a long, long way away and have let the strangeness of this place make us uncivil."

Present
"Are you planning on joining us in the cave? Where I come from women are, indeed, southern flowers afraid of the cold. But that is certainly not true here and I'm sure that if you DO join us you'll be a mighty help. But we should tell you, we use strange weapons. [Holds up gun]. Expect loud noises and do not get between this and its target. Its like a bow, but noisier"

Haamid licks his licks at the thought of a giant bird snack :-) :-)

In Common
"Sorry but no, my friend doesn't speak Skald. I'll translate for him"

In English
"She was just wondering if you spoke Skald. Apparently its pretty unusual to not speak it up here.

We need allies so I suggest that we help her"

Sorry, I forget. Can we still CHOOSE to speak in English or are our words automatically translated regardless of what we wish?

"Nothing at all suspicious about her greeting us so warmly when she just found her husband missing"

sense motive: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

"Uh, sorry, but what is a Moss troll?"

"We need information as well as shelter. I think we should definitely approach the cabin. If we're afraid of a single cabin in the middle of the woods, how can we possibly succeed in our task?"

"Cannibal or no, I think we should see if we can stay there. If there is a cannibal, I'd rather meet him now than in the middle of the night"

Haamid scarfs down several ravens as the group retreats/

Naajy reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Haamid reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Naajy is about to succumb to the attacks of the Ravens but then suddenly he remembers the stories about Shani and realizes that Shani would not allow the Ravens to pluck out his eyes

As swift action, add 5 to saving throw

"Everybody, scatter!!"

Haamid tears into the disgusting birds
bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 for damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 for damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 for damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

He then steps back a little
'
Naajy shoots some ravens and then retreats
Shoot: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8 for damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"I am not at all sure that this will work. They seem less one unit than they were before. Still, its definitely worth a try"

Naajy again attempts to convince the ravens that we're really, really, not the people they're looking for using mesmerism (and sensitive intuition)

bluff attempt: 1d20 + 5 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 3 + 3 = 24

Ayup

"There are many stories of wonderous items that look like nothing special, or even rags. I think that we should experiment a little"

Naajy puts on the tattered robe to see if it has any obvious effect. Perhaps it makes him warm in the cold? He'd do a little bit of experimentation

"Maybe one of you wants to try the ring and see if it does anything?"

"Excellent!!! Lets fill it with as many books as we can"

Seeing all the attention focused on the bag Haamid, of course, sits on it :-) :-)

"I'm sorry my friend, but I don't think I can let you eat human corpses. And you've had a LOT of food over the last couple of days you greedy little thing"

Naajy would also attempt to slowly use pychometry on the interesting items.

To whit,

Q23 - The carved ice statue: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Q24 -
the statue: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
the leather bag: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
the tattered robe: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
the feathers: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
the ring: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
the stick: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

"Well my lovely home. My warm home. I hope that you're safe. I hope that I see you again"

Without saying anything, Naajy joins the others. If people stop to notice, they'd see him holding onto Haamid as if to gain comfort and strength from the cat.

I think we were waiting for you to tell us that the gates went down. I was, at least. Once it is down we would of course continue to explore

Cannot fail the perception check
know Arcana: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

"I'm pretty sure I know HOW to shut the thing down. Not totally sure that I CAN do it but I'm certainly willing to try.

So, the question is : do we TRY and shut the gate down? We have to ...
Its hard to translate. In Hindi its "
गेट की ध्रुवीयता को उलट दें"

Not sure if Digger's UMD suffices (assuming people agree) or if the same person needs to make the UMD check and the Knowledge Arcana check.

And should probably wait to see if people agree anyway :-)

Naajy comes over and whispers to William

"I think there is an invasion and that we can shut it down from here. That was all true. But we'll be trapped. As will the enemy forces already in our world. At least, the doors will shut with us on this side. I'm hoping that we'll eventually be able to find another way home but that is pure hope on my part. I thought it would be easier on everybody if they just assumed I'd made a mistake"

Naajy staggers back

"There is a massive invasion of our world going on, an invasion attacking many points throughout the world.

We have to shut it down. I'm not totally sure but I think shutting it down should shunt us back to our world and the invading sources back here"

bluff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

In character, I have no problem doing this without character knowledge. But, at the player level, I'm not going to do it if any players object

"Thanks. He appreciates it"

Naajy studies the globe, trying to figure out what it may be

Using psychometry on the globe

appraise: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Haamid looks over at the doctor with pussy cat eyes

"Would you possibly be able to heal Haamid a little as well? He'll be good, I promise you"

With that,. Naajy holds onto the tigers shoulder.

"So, now what? Is there any opposition left here in the tower? I'm starting to run low on ammunution, too. I think we're going to have to learn to use the natives weapons very, very soon"

Naajy continues to fire at the flying guy while poor Haamid faces what is a surprisingly close fight with a Goat. A Goat, of all things. Its embarrassing

Shoot: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 = 24 for damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 for damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 for damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 for damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Shoot crit confirm: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12 for damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Naajy reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Haamid reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Shoot at floating idiot: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 = 15 for damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Haamid at first looks confused by the goat attacking him, and then decides its chow time

bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 for damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 for damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 for damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
claw crit confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 for damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Haamid advances on the next ice creature while Naajy shoots at the floating Yogi

bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 for damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 for damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 for damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

gun: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 1 = 13 for damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"I guess we're not trying the bluff route, then"

"Haamid, get them"

Naajy moves to where he has a clear shot at Radosek and shoots him while Haamid attacks one of the ice creatures

rifle shot: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23 for damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Haamid bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 for damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Naajy shudders at the description

"I'll take your word for it. I was lucky that my regiment never made it to France"

"Or into the war at all, thanks be to the many gods"

"I agree that we have no choice but to kill her"

He looks around hoping that somebody else will volunteer. If nobody does, he signals to Haamid to finish her off. That isn't QUITE as bad as doing it himself.

"I think we have to go through that other magic gate and see where it leads us. I can't believe that I said that"
