You can find it here.

Thank you for this. :)

Hey there. A friend of mine and I were talking about the Champion class in 2e, and he wanted to know if it was possible for there to be a variant of Champion for the other alignments, not just on the Good portion of the Good/Evil axis. I'm asking for him here, mainly because I don't know if it's been answered before, so I thought I'd bring it up to you all. :)

Evil champions currently exist as well. You can see them here Link

Neutral champions don't currently exist (and may not ever, depending on if they can find a good path for them.) Some homebrews exist for them I think?

Thanks for the heads up. I'll go back and peruse that info. :)

Okay... before I continue with this, I'd like to apologize, mainly for how long it's been since the previous post.

In any case, here's another segment of the campaign, everyone.

--------------

[10/11/2014 10:53:36 AM] Xamusel: Hey Silvia.
[10/11/2014 10:53:56 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Good to see you! The team is almost here. :)
[10/11/2014 10:55:17 AM] Xamusel: That's great to hear!
[10/11/2014 10:56:20 AM] Enrico Martinelli: We'll be ready in about 5 minutes
[10/11/2014 10:56:52 AM] Xamusel: Good to hear.
[10/11/2014 10:57:35 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Are you doing ok, by the way?
[10/11/2014 10:57:44 AM] Xamusel: Yeah, I am.
[10/11/2014 10:57:52 AM] Xamusel: I'm awake and alert.
[10/11/2014 10:58:01 AM] Enrico Martinelli: That's nice to know. :)
[10/11/2014 10:58:05 AM] Xamusel: Good.
[10/11/2014 10:58:45 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Aurora: Here we are. Everyone is ready. :)
[10/11/2014 10:58:53 AM] Xamusel: Good to hear.
[10/11/2014 10:58:58 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Davide: Present!
[10/11/2014 10:59:05 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Alvise: Ready to go
[10/11/2014 10:59:09 AM] Xamusel: Nice!
[10/11/2014 10:59:13 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Carla: Me too.
[10/11/2014 10:59:20 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Enrico: Amd me as well.
[10/11/2014 10:59:26 AM] Xamusel: Good to hear.
[10/11/2014 10:59:33 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Lily: So, where were we last time?
[10/11/2014 11:00:32 AM] Xamusel: Now... last we left off, you had just finished off three zombies that were stuck in a carriage.
[10/11/2014 11:00:50 AM] Xamusel: You were also going to search said carriage, if memory serves me right.
[10/11/2014 11:01:11 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Okay. Yes, we look through the carriage.
[10/11/2014 11:01:35 AM] Xamusel: Okay. One by one, roll for Perception.
[10/11/2014 11:01:56 AM] Xamusel: As in, one of you goes in the carriage at a time to search.
[10/11/2014 11:01:57 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: I got 5+1=6
[10/11/2014 11:02:27 AM] Xamusel: Not good, Owankane.
[10/11/2014 11:02:49 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Maybe I should go take a look.
[10/11/2014 11:03:00 AM] Xamusel: Good thinking.
[10/11/2014 11:03:51 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I got 15+6=21
[10/11/2014 11:04:00 AM] Xamusel: Ding ding ding!!
[10/11/2014 11:04:14 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: What did I see?
[10/11/2014 11:06:26 AM] Xamusel: You found a box of jewelry that belongs to Lady Argentea, which was missed by the bandits.
[10/11/2014 11:06:45 AM] Xamusel: It was under the seat of the carriage, if you're wondering.
[10/11/2014 11:07:05 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Hmm, I see. Well, one thing to give back to her once we've found her.
[10/11/2014 11:07:36 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Is there anything else around here that could be interesting to take a look at?
[10/11/2014 11:08:23 AM] Xamusel: Well, there's the ice statue that you guys are near.
[10/11/2014 11:09:11 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I'll go take a look at that. From a good distance, of course.
[10/11/2014 11:09:53 AM] Xamusel: It used to be a Taldan captain that was killed and made an example of for anyone, like you, to come this way.
[10/11/2014 11:11:09 AM] Xamusel: Of course, with all the damage done to the body, there are parts that got destroyed from it.
[10/11/2014 11:11:40 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Damn... that's probably the work of those winter-touched ones we heard of. I'll look around to see if I can find anything interesting.
[10/11/2014 11:14:09 AM] Xamusel: On the captain's torso, the breastplate with his family heraldry is still intact.
[10/11/2014 11:15:23 AM] Xamusel: Also, on the ground, there's a masterwork longsword that is still in one of the man's hands (connected to the arm).
[10/11/2014 11:16:03 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Well... maybe someone of the party might have a use for it. And even though it sounds creepy to get a sword out of a severed arm's hand... I think the mwk longsword will be useful to Dorothy.
[10/11/2014 11:17:02 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: After I hand back Mr. Oerstag's sword to him, a new longsword wouldn't be a bad idea. Alright, I'll be taking the longsword.
[10/11/2014 11:17:34 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: I think Owankane should take the breastplate, if it can be adapted to him.
[10/11/2014 11:18:06 AM] Xamusel: Yeah, that's the case.
[10/11/2014 11:19:01 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Okay then... I'll be taking the breastplate.
[10/11/2014 11:20:02 AM] Xamusel: So, now that you have the items needed, you can move forward.
[10/11/2014 11:20:27 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Indeed. Natsuki and I will take the lead and be on the lookout with our Perception skill.
[10/11/2014 11:20:49 AM] Xamusel: Right. There's a trail off to the side of the road, heading into the woods itself.
[10/11/2014 11:22:32 AM] Xamusel: The bandits were unable to hide their tracks in the snow, so you can follow them.
[10/11/2014 11:22:38 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: We'll follow that.
[10/11/2014 11:23:05 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Stay at the center of the team, Jenna.
[10/11/2014 11:23:11 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: I'll cover the rear.
[10/11/2014 11:23:36 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: I'll be in front. Soho, you should get in the middle as well.
[10/11/2014 11:23:49 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: Alright. That sounds reasonable.
[10/11/2014 11:25:10 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: We're going forward, keeping a lookout for any possible ambush.
[10/11/2014 11:25:19 AM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/11/2014 11:25:28 AM] Xamusel: As it enters the full expanse of the Border Wood, the trail
passes through a small clearing among the taller trees before
continuing uphill and out of sight. A large chest lies half-buried
in the snow, apparently dropped or discarded by those who
hastily passed this way.
[10/11/2014 11:25:54 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Hmm. An abandoned chest, huh? Sounds too good to be true.
[10/11/2014 11:26:37 AM] Xamusel: Well, I don't want to make you choose one way or another, in that case.
[10/11/2014 11:27:14 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: We're taking a good look at it, before doing anything. I'll use my 10-ft pole to touch it from a distance and prod around it.
[10/11/2014 11:29:01 AM] Xamusel: Well, alright. Now that you're going to test the chest, which direction are you going to test it from?
[10/11/2014 11:29:40 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: From the front at first, then the sides, and then theback.
[10/11/2014 11:29:58 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I'll use my Perception skill to look around it. Can I do that?
[10/11/2014 11:30:16 AM] Xamusel: Yes, you can.
[10/11/2014 11:30:38 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: 16+7=23
[10/11/2014 11:31:40 AM] Xamusel: Alright. You notice a log trap in the area, which would swing on you if you're not careful.
[10/11/2014 11:32:08 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: We were right to be suspicious then.
[10/11/2014 11:32:17 AM] Xamusel: Yep.
[10/11/2014 11:32:27 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Is it posible to disarm the trap?
[10/11/2014 11:32:44 AM] Xamusel: Yes, but you'll need to know how to disable devices.
[10/11/2014 11:32:55 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I have the Disable Device skill.
[10/11/2014 11:33:07 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I'll make an attempt.
[10/11/2014 11:33:12 AM] Xamusel: Good, make that roll.
[10/11/2014 11:33:26 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Okay. *fingers crossed*
[10/11/2014 11:33:46 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: 14+7=21
[10/11/2014 11:33:59 AM] Xamusel: *phew* You disabled the trap!
[10/11/2014 11:35:04 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Nice job, Natsuki.
[10/11/2014 11:35:34 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: I'll check the chest. If there is any more danger, I'll be the one most able to take it.
[10/11/2014 11:35:52 AM] Xamusel: You all get 600 XP for disabling the trap, by the way.
[10/11/2014 11:36:02 AM] Xamusel: Also, there's no danger in the chest.
[10/11/2014 11:36:13 AM] Xamusel: In fact... the chest is unnaturally light for its size.
[10/11/2014 11:36:38 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Odd. I'll try and lift it.
[10/11/2014 11:37:02 AM] Xamusel: Good idea, because you find a lot of treasure underneath the chest.
[10/11/2014 11:37:33 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: What do we find?
[10/11/2014 11:39:34 AM] Xamusel: You found the majority of the weapons and armor stripped from the guards, including five sets of leather armor, three sets of studded leather armor, a masterwork chain shirt, two light wooden shields, seven longswords, two spears, a masterwork dagger, and three light crossbows with a total of 25 bolts.
[10/11/2014 11:41:00 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: Hmm, very nice. We'll take the bolts, for now... and then, someone might need the chain shirt and the dagger.
[10/11/2014 11:41:12 AM] Xamusel: True.
[10/11/2014 11:42:03 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: I, Jenna, Dorothy and Zark will share the crossbow bolts.
[10/11/2014 11:42:12 AM] Xamusel: Good thinking.
[10/11/2014 11:42:19 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Okay, I'll take 6.
[10/11/2014 11:42:25 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: 6 for me too.
[10/11/2014 11:42:40 AM] Xamusel: Someone will need to take the odd one out.
[10/11/2014 11:42:43 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: 6 for me too.
[10/11/2014 11:42:50 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: I'll take the odd one out
[10/11/2014 11:43:34 AM] Xamusel: Alright. What will you do with the remaining equipment?
[10/11/2014 11:44:20 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I'll take the chain shirt armor.
[10/11/2014 11:44:36 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I'll take the masterwork dagger.
[10/11/2014 11:44:42 AM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/11/2014 11:45:16 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: The rest... we aren't really in need of it. And we can't carry it.
[10/11/2014 11:45:32 AM] Xamusel: Good point.
[10/11/2014 11:46:49 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Okay, we're going forward.
[10/11/2014 11:47:34 AM] Xamusel: Alright. Now you're in area C.
[10/11/2014 11:48:07 AM] Xamusel: The snow becomes increasingly deep in this part of the forest,
where a windswept gully carves a path through a tree-covered
ridge. A soft cascade of snow falls from an overhead branch,
hissing softly as it strikes the ground.
[10/11/2014 11:48:28 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: We're still in the same formation as before, with Natsuki and I on the lookout.
[10/11/2014 11:48:35 AM] Xamusel: By the way, you'll only be able to move one square at a time per turn, given the snow level.
[10/11/2014 11:49:02 AM] Xamusel: As far as lookout, roll for Perception, everyone.
[10/11/2014 11:49:04 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Well, one more reason to stay close.
[10/11/2014 11:49:16 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: 8+1=9
[10/11/2014 11:49:32 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: 11+2=13
[10/11/2014 11:49:55 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: 12+7=19
[10/11/2014 11:50:10 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: 14+6=20
[10/11/2014 11:50:26 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: 13+3=16
[10/11/2014 11:50:48 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: 7+3=10
[10/11/2014 11:51:12 AM] Xamusel: Well, unfortunately, none of you saw the threat in this part of the woods.
[10/11/2014 11:51:31 AM] Xamusel: Zark was the closest in die roll, but... well, not close enough.
[10/11/2014 11:52:21 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: A... threat? *gulp*
[10/11/2014 11:53:00 AM] Xamusel: Zark, where are you in comparison to Natsuki?
[10/11/2014 11:53:33 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I'm at herside.
[10/11/2014 11:54:30 AM] Xamusel: Okay, this will make things difficult, seeing as an Arctic Tatzlwyrm is attempting to choose between you two... and it chose you at long last.
[10/11/2014 11:54:46 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: What? What's that thing?
[10/11/2014 11:55:25 AM] Xamusel: It's a variant of a Tatzlwyrm, which is a primeval relative of a true dragon.
[10/11/2014 11:56:15 AM] Xamusel: These creatures, Tatzlwyrms, are always found in forests, which means you'll need to be careful with the fight between you guys and the monster.
[10/11/2014 11:56:42 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: I'll try and reach Zark to intercept that Tatzlwyrm.
[10/11/2014 11:56:58 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I'll get ready to attack it when it comes within range.
[10/11/2014 11:57:09 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Is there only one of them?
[10/11/2014 11:57:34 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I'll stay back and shoot at that thing with my crossbow.
[10/11/2014 11:57:40 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: Likewise
[10/11/2014 11:58:38 AM] Xamusel: Yes, there's only one-- wait, hold on, a second one is rushing into the area of battle, heading straight towards Natsuki from under the snow!
[10/11/2014 11:58:55 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Dammit!
[10/11/2014 11:59:25 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Okay... we have a fight on our hands... I'll try and reach Natsuki to help her.
[10/11/2014 11:59:53 AM] Xamusel: The other one is actually right next to Zark, and moves to bite him!
[10/11/2014 12:00:27 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: *gulp*
[10/11/2014 12:00:56 PM] Xamusel: Roll for CMD, Zark, Natsuki.
[10/11/2014 12:01:13 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zaek: My CND is 12
[10/11/2014 12:01:25 PM | Edited 12:02:15 PM] Xamusel: They are going to grapple you if you're not careful.
[10/11/2014 12:01:31 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: My CMD is 14
[10/11/2014 12:01:44 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Do I roll a d20?
[10/11/2014 12:01:50 PM] Xamusel: Yes.
[10/11/2014 12:02:00 PM] Xamusel: You have to roll a d20 to defend.
[10/11/2014 12:02:17 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I rolled a 16
[10/11/2014 12:02:31 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I rolled a 15
[10/11/2014 12:02:51 PM] Xamusel: Zark, the one headed for you critically... failed!
[10/11/2014 12:03:09 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: *phew*
[10/11/2014 12:03:42 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: What about me?
[10/11/2014 12:04:01 PM] Xamusel: The one going after you barely missed.
[10/11/2014 12:04:19 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: So, it's our turn now?
[10/11/2014 12:04:43 PM] Xamusel: Yes. Roll for initiative.
[10/11/2014 12:05:04 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: 11+3=14
[10/11/2014 12:05:13 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: 12
[10/11/2014 12:05:27 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: 11+3=14
[10/11/2014 12:05:41 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: 14+3=17
[10/11/2014 12:05:54 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: 18-1=17
[10/11/2014 12:06:08 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: 15+3=18
[10/11/2014 12:06:57 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Natsuki and Owankane rolled a 5 and a 4 on a d6 respectively)
[10/11/2014 12:07:12 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Zark and Jenna rolled 4 and 1 on their d6)
[10/11/2014 12:07:24 PM] Xamusel: Okay. That makes sense.
[10/11/2014 12:08:11 PM] Xamusel: So... Soho, you'll need to roll a d6 with me, to see whether you or the Arctic Tatzlwyrms go first.
[10/11/2014 12:08:40 PM] Xamusel: Beat 2 on your roll.
[10/11/2014 12:08:50 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: I got a 5
[10/11/2014 12:08:55 PM] Xamusel: Good.
[10/11/2014 12:08:59 PM] Xamusel: Soho goes first.
[10/11/2014 12:09:12 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: I'll fire a bolt from my crossbow.
[10/11/2014 12:09:32 PM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/11/2014 12:09:40 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: 17+3=20 on my attack roll
[10/11/2014 12:09:51 PM] Xamusel: You hit it.
[10/11/2014 12:10:04 PM] Xamusel: Roll for damage.
[10/11/2014 12:10:09 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: Cool! My damage roll is 3ù
[10/11/2014 12:10:11 PM] Enrico Martinelli: 3
[10/11/2014 12:10:28 PM] Xamusel: ...what happened to the 'u'?
[10/11/2014 12:10:37 PM] Xamusel: Is that from the Italian keyboard?
[10/11/2014 12:10:43 PM] Xamusel: Er... *ahem* sorry.
[10/11/2014 12:11:00 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Yep. Italian oversensitive keyboard)
[10/11/2014 12:11:09 PM] Xamusel: Ah. Makes sense.
[10/11/2014 12:11:49 PM] Xamusel: Anyway, Arctic Tatzlywyrm A takes three points of damage.
[10/11/2014 12:12:16 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: Okay... so it's their turn now?
[10/11/2014 12:12:25 PM] Xamusel: Yep.
[10/11/2014 12:13:31 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Okay... we are ready! Hopefully...
[10/11/2014 12:14:17 PM] Xamusel: Now... Arctic Tatzlwyrm A moves to bite Zark.
[10/11/2014 12:14:34 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Okay. My AC is 18.
[10/11/2014 12:15:00 PM] Xamusel: It missed, because you dodged.
[10/11/2014 12:15:06 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Cool.
[10/11/2014 12:15:27 PM] Xamusel: Arctic Tatzlwyrm B attempts to pounce on Natsuki.
[10/11/2014 12:15:50 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: My AC is 15
[10/11/2014 12:16:27 PM] Xamusel: And it missed again, but only because you replaced yourself with a log at the last possible second (Kawarimi no Jutsu).
[10/11/2014 12:16:50 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Never let it be said that my ninja training will go to waste. :)
[10/11/2014 12:17:03 PM] Xamusel: True enough.
[10/11/2014 12:17:23 PM] Xamusel: Zark, your turn, followed by Jenna.
[10/11/2014 12:18:23 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Okay... I'll attack the Tatlz A with my Shortspear.
[10/11/2014 12:18:33 PM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/11/2014 12:18:35 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: And I'll fire my crossbow at the same monster
[10/11/2014 12:18:42 PM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/11/2014 12:19:00 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: My attack roll is 11+2=13
[10/11/2014 12:19:19 PM] Xamusel: ...were you throwing that?
[10/11/2014 12:19:23 PM] Xamusel: I hope not.
[10/11/2014 12:19:43 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: No, since I was in close range. I was just attacking hand to hand
[10/11/2014 12:19:48 PM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/11/2014 12:19:53 PM] Xamusel: Either way, you missed.
[10/11/2014 12:20:01 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Darn
[10/11/2014 12:20:07 PM] Xamusel: I feel for ya.
[10/11/2014 12:20:12 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: Okay, let's see if I can do better.
[10/11/2014 12:20:18 PM] Xamusel: Alright, Jenna.
[10/11/2014 12:20:41 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I got a natural 19, which is a critical threat for a crossbow! :)
[10/11/2014 12:20:58 PM] Xamusel: Okay! Roll to confirm the threat.
[10/11/2014 12:21:08 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: 18-1=17
[10/11/2014 12:21:19 PM] Xamusel: It's confirmed.
[10/11/2014 12:21:43 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: Awesome! And I got a 8x2=16 for damage too! :)
[10/11/2014 12:22:06 PM] Xamusel: You hit it in the eye, almost getting it in the brain!
[10/11/2014 12:22:18 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: Nice!
[10/11/2014 12:22:27 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Thanks for the save, Jen!
[10/11/2014 12:22:43 PM] Xamusel: Next, Natsuki, followed by Owankane.
[10/11/2014 12:23:12 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I'll try and attack the Tatzl B with my Short Sword.
[10/11/2014 12:23:21 PM] Xamusel: Go ahead.
[10/11/2014 12:23:46 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: 15+3=18
[10/11/2014 12:23:58 PM] Xamusel: You hit it!
[10/11/2014 12:24:12 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Damage is 5+1=6
[10/11/2014 12:24:26 PM] Xamusel: Good!
[10/11/2014 12:24:56 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Can I reach Tatzl A and attack with my greatsword?
[10/11/2014 12:25:22 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Wait, better yet, I'll go help Natsuki with her beast.
[10/11/2014 12:25:29 PM] Xamusel: Good idea.
[10/11/2014 12:25:47 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Okay, I'll swing at Tatzl B.
[10/11/2014 12:25:59 PM] Xamusel: Go ahead.
[10/11/2014 12:26:22 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: 11+5=16
[10/11/2014 12:26:28 PM] Xamusel: You hit it!
[10/11/2014 12:26:50 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Damage is 9+4=13
[10/11/2014 12:27:39 PM] Xamusel: You took off a lot of health by nearly running it through the spinal column.
[10/11/2014 12:27:46 PM] Xamusel: Dorothy, your turn.
[10/11/2014 12:28:22 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Can I attack Tatzl A with my longsword?
[10/11/2014 12:28:48 PM] Xamusel: Sure, if you feel confident enough.
[10/11/2014 12:29:19 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Here goes nothing. Attack roll is 16+5=21
[10/11/2014 12:29:27 PM] Xamusel: You hit it!
[10/11/2014 12:29:51 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Okay, now for damage... 5+4=9
[10/11/2014 12:30:13 PM] Xamusel: You beheaded the Arctic Tatzlwyrm with your swing.
[10/11/2014 12:30:26 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Good, that's one down.
[10/11/2014 12:30:28 PM] Xamusel: Now, time to reroll for initiative.
[10/11/2014 12:30:46 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: 16
[10/11/2014 12:31:03 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: 19
[10/11/2014 12:31:23 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: 7+3=10
[10/11/2014 12:31:37 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: 10+3=13
[10/11/2014 12:31:50 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: 3-1=2
[10/11/2014 12:32:04 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: 16+3=19
[10/11/2014 12:32:17 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Natsuki rolled 6 and Soho rolled 5)
[10/11/2014 12:32:24 PM] Xamusel: Huh... good to know.
[10/11/2014 12:32:45 PM] Xamusel: Natsuki, see if you can slice down the Arctic Tatzlwyrm, alright?
[10/11/2014 12:33:17 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Okay. 17+3=20
[10/11/2014 12:33:24 PM] Xamusel: Hit!
[10/11/2014 12:33:29 PM] Xamusel: Roll for damage.
[10/11/2014 12:33:44 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Damage is 4+1=5
[10/11/2014 12:34:05 PM] Xamusel: Confirmed kill.
[10/11/2014 12:34:39 PM] Xamusel: Oh, by the way, I need to rectify the amount of XP you got for taking care of the trap... I forgot to divide it properly.
[10/11/2014 12:34:51 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: ok)
[10/11/2014 12:35:20 PM] Xamusel: You should've gotten 100 XP each... just like you get 200 XP for killing the monsters right now (each).
[10/11/2014 12:36:13 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Nice job, guys. I think I am sweating despite the cold. These things were pretty ough.
[10/11/2014 12:37:47 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Well, we took them out, so that's something.
[10/11/2014 12:37:54 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Is everyone okay?
[10/11/2014 12:38:22 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I think so. I saw their maws too close for conform, but I'm okay.
[10/11/2014 12:38:50 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: If you guys are okay, we can push forward. Time is of the essence here.
[10/11/2014 12:39:07 PM] Xamusel: It is... and, fortunately, none of you took damage.
[10/11/2014 12:40:26 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Let's get back in formation and go forward.
[10/11/2014 12:40:51 PM] Xamusel: With that, you continue onward... to Narnia and the North!
[10/11/2014 12:40:57 PM] Xamusel: ...sorry, reference to a book series.
[10/11/2014 12:41:25 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: No prob. :))
[10/11/2014 12:41:37 PM] Xamusel: Anyway, after a while of walking, you make it to area D.
[10/11/2014 12:41:44 PM] Xamusel: Feathered bundles and strange fetishes hang from the lowest
branches of the trees in this part of the forest, swaying and
shifting in the wind. All are stuck through with small pins
holding pieces of leather bound around them.
[10/11/2014 12:42:15 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I don't like this at all. I'll take a look at them for a safe distance.
[10/11/2014 12:42:24 PM] Xamusel: They're crow corpses.
[10/11/2014 12:42:28 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I'll take a look around.
[10/11/2014 12:43:01 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Me, I'll be on the lookout for any danger.
[10/11/2014 12:43:24 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Likewise. Soho, Jenna, stay close so we can protect you.
[10/11/2014 12:43:34 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: Got it. I'll look around as well.
[10/11/2014 12:45:04 PM] Xamusel: Unfortunately, you can't see what's about to come your way, as a few fey arrows head straight for you!
[10/11/2014 12:45:15 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Dammit!
[10/11/2014 12:45:34 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: How many of them?
[10/11/2014 12:46:09 PM] Xamusel: That's the thing, they're hiding in plain sight while disguising themselves using magic.
[10/11/2014 12:46:41 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Don't get scattered, everyone! Let's look for cover!
[10/11/2014 12:47:00 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: Is there someplace we can use to get some cover?
[10/11/2014 12:47:19 PM] Xamusel: The arrows are flying from both sides of the path.
[10/11/2014 12:47:45 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Damn... so I guess we have no choice but to try and return fire.
[10/11/2014 12:48:20 PM] Xamusel: Fortunately, you can notice them, if you roll the right Perception roll.
[10/11/2014 12:48:42 PM] Xamusel: Just beat their Stealth roll.
[10/11/2014 12:48:47 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: 10+2=12
[10/11/2014 12:49:08 PM] Xamusel: Dorothy is the first to spot them!
[10/11/2014 12:49:12 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: 19+7=26
[10/11/2014 12:49:37 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: 4+1=5
[10/11/2014 12:49:57 PM] Xamusel: Natsuki's perception tells her that they're winter-touched fey wielding shortbows fit for their size.
[10/11/2014 12:50:07 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: 10+1=11
[10/11/2014 12:50:22 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: 18+3=21
[10/11/2014 12:50:36 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: 18+3=21
[10/11/2014 12:50:52 PM] Xamusel: They're moving to hide from you, y'know.
[10/11/2014 12:51:02 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: How many of them can I see?
[10/11/2014 12:51:43 PM] Xamusel: You all see that there's three of them.
[10/11/2014 12:52:11 PM] Xamusel: Roll for initiative.
[10/11/2014 12:52:30 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: 20
[10/11/2014 12:52:42 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: 19+3=22
[10/11/2014 12:52:46 PM] Xamusel: Dorothy, you and I need to roll a d6 now.
[10/11/2014 12:52:54 PM] Xamusel: ...I think.
[10/11/2014 12:52:55 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: 6+3=9
[10/11/2014 12:53:04 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: I rolled a 5
[10/11/2014 12:53:13 PM] Xamusel: Oops... my bad.
[10/11/2014 12:53:20 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: 19+3=22
[10/11/2014 12:53:34 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: 7-1=6
[10/11/2014 12:53:44 PM] Xamusel: I didn't need to roll a d6, because the fey have a +3 bonus to Init.
[10/11/2014 12:53:50 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: 16+3=19
[10/11/2014 12:54:01 PM] Xamusel: Okay.
[10/11/2014 12:55:49 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: Let me remember who's supposed to do what first... hang on.)
[10/11/2014 12:55:58 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Okay)
[10/11/2014 12:56:40 PM] Xamusel: A male sprite moves to fire his shortbow at Natsuki.
[10/11/2014 12:56:51 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Okay. My AC is 15
[10/11/2014 12:57:44 PM] Xamusel: It missed you by a few feet.
[10/11/2014 12:58:02 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Good.
[10/11/2014 12:58:28 PM] Xamusel: Now, Zark, the other male sprite aims at you.
[10/11/2014 12:58:40 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: My AC is 18
[10/11/2014 1:00:05 PM] Xamusel: Okay, the sprite hits you, but by how much?
[10/11/2014 1:00:13 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Ouch.
[10/11/2014 1:00:43 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Well, that's up to you to see. You need to roll for damage.
[10/11/2014 1:01:14 PM] Xamusel: Yeah... you get hit in the shoulder for two damage (on a d2).
[10/11/2014 1:02:18 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Okay.
[10/11/2014 1:02:46 PM] Xamusel: Now... Dorothy, the female moves to hit you, using its own bow.
[10/11/2014 1:03:12 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: My AC is 17
[10/11/2014 1:03:20 PM] Xamusel: Missed.
[10/11/2014 1:03:35 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: I block the arrow with my shield.
[10/11/2014 1:03:45 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Our turn now?
[10/11/2014 1:03:49 PM] Xamusel: Yep.
[10/11/2014 1:04:49 PM] Xamusel: Do you move in chase of the fey?
[10/11/2014 1:05:22 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Since I have the only cold iron weapon of the team, I think I should get close to the female and try to hit her.
[10/11/2014 1:05:48 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I'll try and get close too, so I can feint and hopefully deal some sneak attack damage
[10/11/2014 1:05:56 PM] Xamusel: Good thinking.
[10/11/2014 1:06:00 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I'll just fire from a distance.
[10/11/2014 1:06:17 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: I'll try casting a spell.
[10/11/2014 1:06:22 PM] Xamusel: Speaking of fire... any of you know how to use fire spells?
[10/11/2014 1:06:43 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: Afraid not.
[10/11/2014 1:06:51 PM] Xamusel: Ah... that sucks.
[10/11/2014 1:07:07 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: We'll make do with what we have.
[10/11/2014 1:07:39 PM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/11/2014 1:08:21 PM] Xamusel: Now, Natsuki, Zark... who goes first between you two?
[10/11/2014 1:09:01 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I'll be the first. I'll walk up to the first sprite and use a feint to sneak attack him.
[10/11/2014 1:09:23 PM] Xamusel: Okay, good luck.
[10/11/2014 1:09:55 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I'll have to do a Bluff check opposed to the fey creature's Sense Motive check.
[10/11/2014 1:10:03 PM] Xamusel: Right.
[10/11/2014 1:10:21 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: My Bluff check is 16+5=21
[10/11/2014 1:10:29 PM] Xamusel: You succeeded.
[10/11/2014 1:10:51 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Cool, so the fey loses his Dex bonus to AC, and takes sneak attack damage if I hit! :)
[10/11/2014 1:11:03 PM] Xamusel: Yeah! :D
[10/11/2014 1:11:44 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I sneak attack with my short sword. Roll is 19+3=22... and a critical threat!
[10/11/2014 1:12:07 PM] Xamusel: Oooh!
[10/11/2014 1:12:15 PM] Xamusel: Roll to confirm.
[10/11/2014 1:12:24 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: 12+3=15
[10/11/2014 1:12:29 PM] Xamusel: Confirmed.
[10/11/2014 1:13:14 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Awesome! My damage roll is... 4x2=8 +4+1= 13
[10/11/2014 1:13:27 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Minus the fey's damage reduction
[10/11/2014 1:13:54 PM] Xamusel: You killed it in one strike, actually.
[10/11/2014 1:14:16 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Who-hoo! Nice!
[10/11/2014 1:14:23 PM] Xamusel: Zark, your turn.
[10/11/2014 1:14:50 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Again, I'll use my crossbow to attack.
[10/11/2014 1:15:00 PM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/11/2014 1:15:12 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: 11+5=16
[10/11/2014 1:15:51 PM] Xamusel: Failed to hit, sorry.
[10/11/2014 1:16:15 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Not my lucky day, I guess.
[10/11/2014 1:17:02 PM] Xamusel: Speaking of which... a great glistening of snow appears in the middle of the field, making a new enemy arrive.
[10/11/2014 1:17:29 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Just what we needed... what is it, more winter-touched?
[10/11/2014 1:18:32 PM] Xamusel: This enemy is an old crone of a winter-touched fey, one that surrounds the area with a wall of ice, to keep you and every remaining enemy left inside the battlefield.
[10/11/2014 1:18:58 PM] Xamusel: "Can you feel the cold?" she asks.
[10/11/2014 1:19:02 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: Damn... I'm afraid we're getting in a bind here, guys.
[10/11/2014 1:19:14 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: We can feel it all too well.
[10/11/2014 1:19:35 PM] Xamusel: "In that case, embrace it!" she hisses near the end.
[10/11/2014 1:19:58 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: Ugh... what is going on here?
[10/11/2014 1:20:38 PM] Xamusel: "If you refuse the blessings of winter, then you will know winter's wrath!" she yells.
[10/11/2014 1:21:38 PM] Xamusel: "Mother, they killed Pym!" the female sprite yelled, getting the crone's attention.
[10/11/2014 1:22:21 PM] Xamusel: "What?! How DARE you murder my first son! DIIIIEEEEEE!!"
[10/11/2014 1:22:36 PM] Xamusel: With that, she goes into an offensive against you.
[10/11/2014 1:23:13 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: You'll need to reroll initiative after this turn.)
[10/11/2014 1:23:13 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Telling her that her firstborn was trying to kill us won't do much, right?
[10/11/2014 1:23:32 PM] Xamusel: It won't, trust me.
[10/11/2014 1:23:42 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Okay... there are a few of us still waiting to act.)
[10/11/2014 1:24:32 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: I mean, after the old crone makes her move, you'll need to reroll init.)
[10/11/2014 1:24:40 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Okay)
[10/11/2014 1:25:08 PM] Xamusel: Though, the ones who didn't go yet get a +10 bonus to Init to go first.
[10/11/2014 1:26:15 PM] Xamusel: Anyway, the old crone evokes a spear of ice and throws it at Natsuki!
[10/11/2014 1:26:32 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Ouch... do I get a saving throw or something?
[10/11/2014 1:26:56 PM] Xamusel: Yes, a Reflex Save.
[10/11/2014 1:27:06 PM] Xamusel: ...remind me again, how does that work?
[10/11/2014 1:27:42 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Well, I roll a d20, add my Reflex bonus, and see if I can beat the DC of the attack)
[10/11/2014 1:28:08 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: Okay. Thanks.)
[10/11/2014 1:28:23 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I rolled a 19+5=24
[10/11/2014 1:28:39 PM] Xamusel: You evaded the attack with great ease.
[10/11/2014 1:28:57 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Good to know.
[10/11/2014 1:30:12 PM] Xamusel: Now that that's done, and now that the shock wore off, reroll initiative.

[10/11/2014 1:31:35 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: 15+9=24
[10/11/2014 1:31:46 PM] Xamusel: Let me check to see who went first before the old crone came about.
[10/11/2014 1:32:25 PM] Xamusel: Oh, Zark, you already went before the crone showed up... sorry.
[10/11/2014 1:32:46 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: My bad, forgot about it in the chaos.
[10/11/2014 1:32:50 PM] Xamusel: Ah.
[10/11/2014 1:32:53 PM] Xamusel: I understand.
[10/11/2014 1:33:15 PM] Xamusel: Now, Natsuki, your turn to reroll init.
[10/11/2014 1:33:32 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: 17+13=30
[10/11/2014 1:33:48 PM] Xamusel: ...you also went before the crone showed up.
[10/11/2014 1:33:59 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Then, it's 17+3=20
[10/11/2014 1:34:05 PM] Xamusel: Good enough.
[10/11/2014 1:34:23 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I have a 18+3=21
[10/11/2014 1:34:36 PM] Xamusel: Well, you all go first, before the crone and her kids.
[10/11/2014 1:34:39 PM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/11/2014 1:34:50 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Who goes first?)
[10/11/2014 1:35:02 PM] Xamusel: Owankane, your turn.
[10/11/2014 1:35:37 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Am I close enough to one of the fey to run at it and hit with my greatsword?
[10/11/2014 1:35:58 PM] Xamusel: Yes, the daughter of the crone.
[10/11/2014 1:36:15 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: I'll go for that one.
[10/11/2014 1:36:34 PM] Xamusel: Okay.
[10/11/2014 1:36:49 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: 14+5=19
[10/11/2014 1:37:05 PM] Xamusel: Is that a critical threat?
[10/11/2014 1:37:19 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: No, it's not. I needed at least a natural 19.
[10/11/2014 1:37:27 PM] Xamusel: Oh, right, my bad.
[10/11/2014 1:37:40 PM | Edited 1:37:49 PM] Xamusel: You hit her regardless.
[10/11/2014 1:38:23 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Okay. Damage is 6+4=10 minus DR
[10/11/2014 1:39:51 PM] Xamusel: You needed 2 more in that case.
[10/11/2014 1:41:20 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Oh, I see. So they have a DR of 2/cold iron.
[10/11/2014 1:41:26 PM] Xamusel: Yep.
[10/11/2014 1:41:39 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Got it. Who's next?
[10/11/2014 1:42:54 PM] Xamusel: Next... okay, hang on a sec.
[10/11/2014 1:43:02 PM] Enrico Martinelli: OK
[10/11/2014 1:43:26 PM] Xamusel: Okay, Dorothy and Jenna need to roll a d6.
[10/11/2014 1:43:43 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy rolled a 5, Jenna a 4.
[10/11/2014 1:44:16 PM] Xamusel: Got it.
[10/11/2014 1:44:51 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Okay... is there a fey I can engage in close quarters?
[10/11/2014 1:45:02 PM] Xamusel: Yes, the crone.
[10/11/2014 1:45:21 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Good. She's clearly the most dangerous, so I'll go for her.
[10/11/2014 1:46:13 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: I attack with the cold iron longsword lent to me by Mr. Oerstag.
[10/11/2014 1:47:16 PM] Xamusel: Okay, roll for attack.
[10/11/2014 1:48:46 PM] Xamusel: Er... sorry about that.
[10/11/2014 1:48:53 PM] Xamusel: My laptop was going weird.
[10/11/2014 1:48:59 PM] Xamusel: Anyway, roll for attack.
[10/11/2014 1:49:21 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: 12+5=17
[10/11/2014 1:49:41 PM] Xamusel: You hit the crone.
[10/11/2014 1:49:48 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Good!
[10/11/2014 1:50:02 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Damage is 3+4=7
[10/11/2014 1:50:19 PM] Xamusel: Good.
[10/11/2014 1:50:28 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: "Have a taste of cold iron, witch!"
[10/11/2014 1:50:35 PM] Xamusel: Keep in mind, however, the crone is touger than her children.
[10/11/2014 1:50:55 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Obviously.
[10/11/2014 1:51:21 PM] Xamusel: "GAAAAAAH! How DARE you!!"
[10/11/2014 1:51:27 PM] Xamusel: Next, Jenna's turn.
[10/11/2014 1:51:56 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I need to get close and personal too. Which winter-touched one can I reach?
[10/11/2014 1:52:22 PM] Xamusel: The remaining son.
[10/11/2014 1:52:31 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I'll go for him.
[10/11/2014 1:52:52 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I attack with my morningstar
[10/11/2014 1:53:02 PM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/11/2014 1:53:13 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: 14+1=15
[10/11/2014 1:53:36 PM | Edited 2:00:09 PM] Xamusel: He barely dodged.
[10/11/2014 1:54:09 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: Ugh... these little guys are too fast for my liking.
[10/11/2014 1:54:40 PM] Xamusel: Soho, your turn.
[10/11/2014 1:55:11 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: I'll cast a Magic Missile at the younger female fey.
[10/11/2014 1:55:22 PM] Xamusel: Good. Roll for damage.
[10/11/2014 1:55:43 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: Damage is 3+1=4
[10/11/2014 1:56:10 PM] Xamusel: Okay! You destroyed her, body and all.
[10/11/2014 1:56:26 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: Good. That makes things a little bit easier.
[10/11/2014 1:56:59 PM] Xamusel: "Wh... what vile manner of magic just killed my daughter?!" the crone roars.
[10/11/2014 1:57:35 PM] Xamusel: Zark's turn.
[10/11/2014 1:57:43 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: "You and your remaining son, depart from here, and we swear we will not harm any of you again."
[10/11/2014 1:58:18 PM] Xamusel: "Never! You will PERISH!!" the crone insists.
[10/11/2014 1:58:28 PM] Xamusel: It seems talking is useless here.
[10/11/2014 1:58:43 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Okay, I'll try another hit with my crossbow. I'll aim at the crone.
[10/11/2014 1:58:56 PM] Xamusel: Very well.
[10/11/2014 1:59:30 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I rolled a 17+5=22
[10/11/2014 1:59:41 PM] Xamusel: You hit her.
[10/11/2014 2:00:08 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Cool! Damage is 4-2=2
[10/11/2014 2:00:27 PM] Enrico Martinelli: ???
[10/11/2014 2:00:54 PM] Xamusel: Hold on while I check my math.
[10/11/2014 2:01:15 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Ok
[10/11/2014 2:01:36 PM] Xamusel: Okay, the crone's almost at half left of her health.
[10/11/2014 2:01:58 PM] Xamusel: Natsuki's turn next.
[10/11/2014 2:02:41 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I'll try to flank the crone and sneak attack her with a shuriken. Can I do that?
[10/11/2014 2:02:51 PM] Xamusel: Sure.
[10/11/2014 2:03:20 PM] Xamusel: Need to use the restroom soon, though.
[10/11/2014 2:03:29 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Go ahead
[10/11/2014 2:06:44 PM] Xamusel: Alright, back from the restroom.
[10/11/2014 2:07:24 PM] Xamusel: Natsuki, make sure to stay stealthy... in the snow.
[10/11/2014 2:07:48 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Okay, do I have to roll a Stealth check?
[10/11/2014 2:08:13 PM] Xamusel: I believe so, yes.
[10/11/2014 2:08:43 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: My strong suit. My roll is... 12+9=21
[10/11/2014 2:09:22 PM | Edited 2:09:50 PM] Xamusel: You beat her Perception check.
[10/11/2014 2:09:29 PM] Xamusel: Now, roll for attack.
[10/11/2014 2:10:04 PM] Xamusel: ...oops, wrote Sense Motive before I went back and fixed it.
[10/11/2014 2:10:19 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: My roll is... 14+3=17
[10/11/2014 2:10:37 PM] Xamusel: You hit.
[10/11/2014 2:10:42 PM] Xamusel: Roll for damage.
[10/11/2014 2:11:45 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Damage is... 2+4+1-2=5
[10/11/2014 2:11:59 PM] Xamusel: Nice!
[10/11/2014 2:12:03 PM] Xamusel: Now it's her turn.
[10/11/2014 2:12:20 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: *gulps*
[10/11/2014 2:13:21 PM] Xamusel: "What the... WHERE DID THESE METAL STARS COME FROM?!" she roars, evoking another spear of ice, only to throw it at Zark.
[10/11/2014 2:13:44 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I have to do a Reflex saving throw, I guess.
[10/11/2014 2:14:15 PM] Xamusel: Yep.
[10/11/2014 2:14:30 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: My save is 11+3=14
[10/11/2014 2:14:41 PM] Xamusel: You're safe!
[10/11/2014 2:14:50 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Phew!
[10/11/2014 2:15:05 PM] Xamusel: Indeed.
[10/11/2014 2:15:12 PM] Xamusel: Now, it's her final son's turn.
[10/11/2014 2:15:50 PM] Xamusel: He discards the bow and draws a short sword, rushing towards Dorothy, intent on killing her.
[10/11/2014 2:16:08 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: I'm ready for him.
[10/11/2014 2:16:25 PM] Xamusel: What's your AC?
[10/11/2014 2:16:39 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: 17
[10/11/2014 2:16:51 PM] Xamusel: Good, he missed.

[10/11/2014 2:18:12 PM] Xamusel: Alright... Natsuki, your turn.
[10/11/2014 2:18:37 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I will jump up and rush the crone to try and finish her off.
[10/11/2014 2:18:53 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I'll use my short sword to attack of course
[10/11/2014 2:18:59 PM] Xamusel: Right.
[10/11/2014 2:19:20 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Attack roll is 17+3=20
[10/11/2014 2:19:51 PM] Xamusel: You hit her.
[10/11/2014 2:19:55 PM] Xamusel: Roll for damage.
[10/11/2014 2:20:23 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Cool! Damage is 4+1-2=3
[10/11/2014 2:20:42 PM] Xamusel: Ugh... she's still standing.
[10/11/2014 2:21:01 PM] Xamusel: Soho, roll a d6.
[10/11/2014 2:21:15 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: I got a 4
[10/11/2014 2:21:21 PM] Xamusel: The crone goes first.
[10/11/2014 2:21:44 PM] Xamusel: She draws a blade and swings at Natsuki!
[10/11/2014 2:22:08 PM] Xamusel: Natsuki parries the blow.
[10/11/2014 2:22:14 PM] Xamusel: Soho, your turn.
[10/11/2014 2:22:18 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: My AC is 15. I try to dodge that.
[10/11/2014 2:22:46 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: I'm kinda stumped... but I'll try and shoot the crone again.
[10/11/2014 2:23:05 PM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/11/2014 2:23:21 PM] Xamusel: Roll for attack.
[10/11/2014 2:23:31 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: 14+3=17

[10/11/2014 2:25:50 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: I can't believe it...
[10/11/2014 2:26:21 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: 22 hp for the crone... blame the roll of the dice.)
[10/11/2014 2:26:40 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I am still engaged with the remaining son, right? I'll swing at him with my morningstar.
[10/11/2014 2:26:53 PM] Xamusel: Okay, good thinking.
[10/11/2014 2:27:19 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I rolled a 17+1=18
[10/11/2014 2:27:28 PM] Xamusel: Hit!

[10/11/2014 2:29:53 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: I'll go ahead and try to end the old witch with a final swing.

[10/11/2014 2:31:43 PM] Xamusel: Good! You end her once and for all.
[10/11/2014 2:31:54 PM] Xamusel: Now, Zark, roll a d6.
[10/11/2014 2:32:06 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I got a 2

[10/11/2014 2:33:33 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Yeah... figured as much.
[10/11/2014 2:33:49 PM] Xamusel: Now it's the winter-touched fey's turn.
[10/11/2014 2:34:23 PM] Xamusel: He moves to Owankane to strike at him.
[10/11/2014 2:34:36 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: I'm ready for him.
[10/11/2014 2:35:01 PM] Xamusel: What's your AC?
[10/11/2014 2:35:27 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Thanks to that breastplate I found, it's 19
[10/11/2014 2:35:51 PM] Xamusel: Good, you take the damage and nullify it.
[10/11/2014 2:35:55 PM] Xamusel: Your turn.
[10/11/2014 2:36:49 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: I'll try and whack it with my greatsword.

[10/11/2014 2:38:38 PM] Xamusel: And... he died, thus destroying the walls around the battlefield.
[10/11/2014 2:39:02 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Phew... looks like we did it.
[10/11/2014 2:39:07 PM] Xamusel: Yes, you did.
[10/11/2014 2:39:18 PM] Xamusel: Now... didn't one of you get a hit to the shoulder?
[10/11/2014 2:39:26 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I did.
[10/11/2014 2:39:59 PM] Xamusel: Ah.
[10/11/2014 2:40:11 PM] Xamusel: Is there a Cleric or Paladin in the group?
[10/11/2014 2:40:25 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I'm the Cleric
[10/11/2014 2:40:33 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: And I'm the Paladin
[10/11/2014 2:40:39 PM] Xamusel: Oh, right.
[10/11/2014 2:40:55 PM] Xamusel: *ahem* Is the wound severe enough to need healing?
[10/11/2014 2:41:01 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: And I still have 4 uses of channel positive energy left.
[10/11/2014 2:41:07 PM] Xamusel: Ah, good.
[10/11/2014 2:41:17 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I can manage that.
[10/11/2014 2:41:47 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Keep your healing for later, Jen.
[10/11/2014 2:43:16 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: I'm afraid we have to cut here. The team is already quite late for their curfew.)
[10/11/2014 2:43:29 PM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/11/2014 2:43:42 PM] Xamusel: Later, everyone, and have a safe trip.
[10/11/2014 2:44:25 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Later! And thank you! We had a great time!)
[10/11/2014 2:44:30 PM] Xamusel: Good!
[10/11/2014 2:44:40 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: How many XP for the winter-touched, btw?)
[10/11/2014 2:44:56 PM] Xamusel: 150 each party member.
[10/11/2014 2:45:17 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Okay! Thank you, and see you soon!)
[10/11/2014 2:45:23 PM] Xamusel: Okay.
[10/11/2014 2:45:27 PM] Xamusel: Take care!

-------------------------

The next segment will either be later today or tomorrow... unsure when.

So, before I go into details on how odd this campaign is, I need to mention that this is being played over Skype with an Italian friend and her group of players that I managed to join (simply because I'm her friend and interested in actually role-playing every once in a while). As such, the time stamps will be in my time zone, because I live in Washington State.

Now... because I don't know the specific layout of how to post this, I'll copy-paste it from my Skype side, to make things a bit more fair.

[10/4/2014 11:59:08 AM] Enrico Martinelli: Lily: Here I am! :)
[10/4/2014 12:01:30 PM] Xamusel: Yo!
[10/4/2014 12:01:55 PM] Xamusel: Sorry for the delay in reply, was on the phone with my mom, who I tried calling when she was in bed earlier.
[10/4/2014 12:02:12 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Lily: It's no problem. The team is all here. :)
[10/4/2014 12:03:12 PM] Xamusel: Good.
[10/4/2014 12:03:22 PM] Xamusel: You'll be the intermediary for the group, right?
[10/4/2014 12:03:59 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Lily: Pretty much.
[10/4/2014 12:04:08 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Enrico: We are all ready to go!
[10/4/2014 12:04:23 PM] Xamusel: Oh, good, that's helpful.
[10/4/2014 12:04:23 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Aurora: I'm kinda excited...
[10/4/2014 12:04:36 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Alvise: I'm ready as well.
[10/4/2014 12:04:41 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Carla: Me too.
[10/4/2014 12:04:52 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Davide: We can start when you want.
[10/4/2014 12:04:58 PM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/4/2014 12:06:01 PM] Xamusel: Now, if you guys didn't get the advance warning, I had managed to acquire an Adventure Path for this campaign... not sure if it'll happen again, but it's gonna be used for this one.
[10/4/2014 12:06:40 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Aurora: Lily told us. What Adventure Path will we be using?
[10/4/2014 12:07:15 PM] Xamusel: Reign of Winter.
[10/4/2014 12:08:00 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Aurora: Never heard of it.
[10/4/2014 12:08:17 PM] Xamusel: It features Baba Yaga as the main person of concern.
[10/4/2014 12:08:37 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Davide: Baba Yaga? As in, the legendary witch of Russian lore?
[10/4/2014 12:08:50 PM] Xamusel: Yep.
[10/4/2014 12:08:54 PM] Xamusel: The one and the same.
[10/4/2014 12:09:35 PM] Xamusel: Paizo went all out with the crazy additions, even having {REDACTED} as her son.
[10/4/2014 12:09:48 PM] Xamusel: By the way, the redacted bit is a spoiler.
[10/4/2014 12:10:05 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Enrico: Oooh, I think we're going to enjoy that! :)
[10/4/2014 12:10:27 PM] Xamusel: Yep... I think so, too.
[10/4/2014 12:10:49 PM] Xamusel: Also, trivia time: the current year in Golarion is 2013 our calendar.
[10/4/2014 12:11:15 PM] Xamusel: Just add 2700 years to it.
[10/4/2014 12:11:26 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Lily: Alright. Well, then, I think everyone is ready.
[10/4/2014 12:11:57 PM] Xamusel: Alright. Now... let's get the show and adventure on the road!
[10/4/2014 12:12:13 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Carla: Let's go! :)
[10/4/2014 12:13:14 PM] Xamusel: "The sleepy village of Heldren has rarely seen so much
excitement or concern. Hunters from the nearby Border Wood
speak of unnaturally cold weather at the height of summer that
descended on the forest just days ago. Heavy snow followed,
and those who returned spoke of an uneasy presence in the
woods, as well as new, dangerous predators. No one knows
what this event means, but the town’s soothsayer, Old Mother
Theodora, claims dark times lie ahead.
As if in proof of that dire prophecy, a badly wounded
mercenary arrived in town yesterday, claiming to be a bodyguard
of Lady Argentea Malassene. He told the village council that
the noblewoman’s escort came under attack by bandits and
strange, wintry creatures near the edge of the Border Wood.
He alone escaped, and Lady Argentea was dragged away into
the forest. Now the townsfolk cast fearful eyes toward the
snowy forest, worried what else might emerge to threaten their
peaceful village."
[10/4/2014 12:13:46 PM | Edited 12:13:52 PM] Xamusel: ...if you're wondering, I'm copy-pasting the material, to make it easier on us all.
[10/4/2014 12:14:06 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: It's okay, no problem)
[10/4/2014 12:14:29 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: Good.)
[10/4/2014 12:15:07 PM] Xamusel: Now... before the adventure continues: You all know each other from somewhere, but where and how?
[10/4/2014 12:15:41 PM] Xamusel: It would make sense if you knew each other from this village, to a degree.
[10/4/2014 12:16:41 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Yeah, in the end we decided to go with that. We are a group of friends from Heldren, who are concerned aboutthe recentevents and innatural cold.)
[10/4/2014 12:17:06 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: Okay, that's good to hear, then.)
[10/4/2014 12:17:42 PM] Xamusel: Now... anyone interested in hearing the local rumors?
[10/4/2014 12:18:11 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Yeah, it would certainly help understanding what's going on.
[10/4/2014 12:18:26 PM] Xamusel: If so, roll a d20, and use either Diplomacy or Local Knowledge for this one.
[10/4/2014 12:18:56 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: I'll be the one to try. I'll roll my Diplomacy check.
[10/4/2014 12:19:11 PM] Xamusel: Okay.
[10/4/2014 12:19:18 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: 11+6=17
[10/4/2014 12:25:28 PM] Xamusel: Alright, Dorothy, here's what you've managed to gather. It's unseasonably cold for midsummer, even snowing in the Border Woods, for Aroden's sake! People suspect magic, and fear if it's Qadrian agents at work. You also learn that Old Man Dansby, a local farmer, is complaining of people stealing his crops, or what's left of them, anyway. Also, another farmer has a son who's gotten sick because he fell into a frozen river, seeing a white stag that purportedly spoke in Common! As the final bit of knowledge you got out of it, a group of Rangers in the Border Woods called the High Sentinels had been curbing the bandit problem, but they seem to be doing a poor job currently.
[10/4/2014 12:25:55 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: Sorry for the wall of text, wanted to share it in one go.)
[10/4/2014 12:26:24 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: A white stag speaking in Common? Can I do a Knowledge (arcana) check? Maybe I know something about it.
[10/4/2014 12:26:51 PM] Xamusel: You can try, but it might not reveal anything at all.
[10/4/2014 12:27:05 PM] Xamusel: Keep that in mind, unless you're dead set on it.
[10/4/2014 12:27:43 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: Hmm, okay then, I'll still try.
[10/4/2014 12:27:56 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho 3+6=9
[10/4/2014 12:27:57 PM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/4/2014 12:28:36 PM] Xamusel: *wince* Sorry, you don't know anything on this white stag, Soho.
[10/4/2014 12:28:48 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: Oh well. Worth a try.
[10/4/2014 12:29:01 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: It's a plot point, anyway.)
[10/4/2014 12:29:21 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: For now, the best thing we can do might be investigate Lady Argentea's kidnapping.
[10/4/2014 12:30:27 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: So, it seems she was taken by bandits, right? Near the Border Wood, if I remember right.
[10/4/2014 12:30:55 PM] Xamusel: Yes, that's what you have managed to gather, anyway.
[10/4/2014 12:31:23 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I see. Then, I guess we might be the best chance to discover what's going on.
[10/4/2014 12:32:09 PM] Xamusel: Before you go, though, you get approached by the village council.
[10/4/2014 12:32:51 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Oh, the village council. Please tell us... we want to do everything in our power to solve this crisis.
[10/4/2014 12:34:46 PM] Xamusel: The head of the council, a woman named Ionnia Teppen, speaks up. "You, who are about to head out of the village, are you really intent on solving the crisis?"
[10/4/2014 12:35:35 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: We are, Lady Teppen. It is our land, after all, and we want to do whatever it takes to keep it safe.
[10/4/2014 12:37:23 PM] Xamusel: Ionnia: "I see... before you go, you need to know what happened from the only survivor in the area." With that, she gestures you to follow her, heading towards the Willowbark Apothecary.
[10/4/2014 12:38:23 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: It was our intention to ask him a few questions before we go. And, if possible, to purchase some heavier clothing.
[10/4/2014 12:38:24 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: If you're wondering, the survivor has some valuable info, which you'll definitely need.)
[10/4/2014 12:39:09 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Thank you for the advice, Lady Teppen. We'll go speak with the surviving guard.
[10/4/2014 12:40:03 PM] Xamusel: Ionnia: "You are most welcome, Natsuki. As far as heavier clothing, that's possibly the best bet you can have right now."
[10/4/2014 12:40:27 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: We'll head to the Apothecary right away. And... thank you for the kind offer.
[10/4/2014 12:40:55 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: You're following her, I thought.)
[10/4/2014 12:41:08 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Okay then)
[10/4/2014 12:42:10 PM] Xamusel: Ionnia: "You are most welcome, Zark." After a few moments, you arrive at the Apothecary.
[10/4/2014 12:43:06 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Do we see the surviving caravan guard right now?
[10/4/2014 12:43:32 PM] Xamusel: No, he's currently inside the building, bedridden.
[10/4/2014 12:43:53 PM] Xamusel: Do you enter to see the full extent of the injuries?
[10/4/2014 12:44:09 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: Yes, I think I might help too.
[10/4/2014 12:45:04 PM] Xamusel: Very well... though, keep in mind that the village priest is having trouble with healing the guard, as the current state is the best he's at.
[10/4/2014 12:45:52 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I see. Anyway, I'll go see him.
[10/4/2014 12:46:02 PM] Xamusel: Alright, Jenna.
[10/4/2014 12:48:32 PM | Edited 12:48:47 PM] Xamusel: Now, with everyone heading inside the Apothecary, you see a human of Ulfen descent, Yuln Oerstag, bandaged heavily and with some black coloration on the nose, fingers and toes, the hue from severe frostbite.
[10/4/2014 12:49:10 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I kneel down to his side. Is he conscious?
[10/4/2014 12:50:30 PM] Xamusel: Yes, he is, though he simply chuckles mirthfully. "I'm not dying any time soon, lass," Yuln says. "I still have some fight left in me."
[10/4/2014 12:51:35 PM] Enrico Martinelli: "It is good that you are in high spirits, mister. But don't overexert yourself, please."
[10/4/2014 12:55:31 PM] Xamusel: "Much as I'd like to go against that, I know better," Yuln admits. "I'd go with you if I could, because my ancestors would ridicule my lack of valor for fleeing from an enemy instead of resisting to the bitter end, but... I've faced things that others in the Linnorm Kingdoms would falter against, though I think I managed to kill one of them before they took off with Lady Argentea."
[10/4/2014 12:56:56 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: "My friends and I would like to ask you a few questions about those foes, if you could answer those."
[10/4/2014 12:57:30 PM] Xamusel: Yuln nods to the best of his ability. "Aye, I can understand."
[10/4/2014 12:58:03 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: "First off, what sort of foes were you faced against?"
[10/4/2014 1:00:44 PM | Edited 1:01:26 PM] Xamusel: Yuln's face soured a little bit. "We thought they were simple bandits at first--outlaws who hide like wolves in the woods. They were no match for us. But then came the cold fey of the north. They appeared among us and the battle turned quickly. My people speak of the winter-touched all the time, but I've never expected to see any this far south!"
[10/4/2014 1:01:34 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: "The winter-touched? What did you hear about them?"
[10/4/2014 1:04:51 PM] Xamusel: Yuln: "The winter-touched are fey creatures who have sworn loyalty to the Winter Witches of Irrisen, those who stole our homes in the Winter War some 1500 years ago. Tiny sprites no taller than the length of a man's forearm. But don't let their short stature fool you. Legends say they have taken a sliver of ice into their hearts, and their touch bears the harsh bite of winter."
[10/4/2014 1:06:09 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: "This sounds bad... do you know where they have taken Lady Argentea, perhaps?"
[10/4/2014 1:08:31 PM] Xamusel: Yuln: "Back into the forest, back through the ice and snow. Beyond that, I don't know. I followed as far as I could, but the winter-touched were too many and too hard to fend off in the snow alone. I barely escaped, and rode out here to seek help."
[10/4/2014 1:10:07 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: "It's understandable. So... could it be that there is the Winter Witches' doing behind Lady Argentea's kidnapping?"
[10/4/2014 1:12:21 PM] Xamusel: Yuln: "Which Winter Witch do you mean? Of course, the winter-touched don't do anything without the leave of the one to place the ice in their hearts, so possibly... and much worse will follow because of it."
[10/4/2014 1:13:12 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: There's multiple people with the title of Winter Witch, by the way.)
[10/4/2014 1:14:30 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: "I... have no idea. I'm afraid I don't know much about the Winter Witches. But that is not the point. We must rescue Lady Argentea pronto. Since you have faced the winter-touched already, do you happen to know if they have weak points of sorts?"
[10/4/2014 1:16:28 PM] Xamusel: Yuln: "Cold iron and burning flames are what they're the weakest to, both because they burn the winter-touched, and they are weapons they fear."
[10/4/2014 1:18:12 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: "I understand. We will remember that should we face them."
[10/4/2014 1:18:53 PM] Xamusel: Yuln: "As a matter of fact, take my longsword, too... it's made of cold iron. Consider it a loaner." He gestures towards the blade in question.
[10/4/2014 1:20:46 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: "Thank you, Mr. Oerstag. I amm not a good swordswoman, but I have a friend who will surely put your blade to good use."
[10/4/2014 1:21:29 PM] Xamusel: Yuln: "Aye... I hope ye find Lady Argentea soon."
[10/4/2014 1:22:21 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: "Have a safe recovery. Rest assured we will do our best."
[10/4/2014 1:23:04 PM] Xamusel: Yuln: "Aye. I have faith in you."
[10/4/2014 1:23:13 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I bow to the recovering warrior and head back to my comrades, to report what I've been told.
[10/4/2014 1:23:34 PM] Xamusel: Did you get the blade with you?
[10/4/2014 1:23:40 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: Yes, I did.
[10/4/2014 1:23:47 PM] Xamusel: Good.
[10/4/2014 1:24:02 PM] Xamusel: Now, which of you can equip longswords?
[10/4/2014 1:24:31 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I'll be handing the sword to Dorothy. She'll be able to use it better.
[10/4/2014 1:24:50 PM] Xamusel: Very well.
[10/4/2014 1:25:20 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: Dorothy, this is the sword Mr. Oerstag entrusted to us. You'll be making a better use of it that any other of us.
[10/4/2014 1:26:22 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: I understand. I will need to thank Mr. Oerstag myself when I'll be handing his sword back to him.
[10/4/2014 1:27:06 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: For now, I can do nothing but try and be worthy of his generosity.
[10/4/2014 1:27:50 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I think we know what we need now. We should purchase some winter clothing and be on our way.
[10/4/2014 1:28:24 PM] Xamusel: You have a solid idea with that, yes.
[10/4/2014 1:29:12 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Okay, where can we purchase some heavy clothing?
[10/4/2014 1:29:53 PM] Xamusel: You can purchase them near the village square.
[10/4/2014 1:30:04 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: We're going there right now.
[10/4/2014 1:30:29 PM] Xamusel: Alright.
[10/4/2014 1:32:07 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Okay, we'll head to some place that sells heavy clothing, and we're getting six sets of snow clothes.
[10/4/2014 1:32:26 PM] Xamusel: That's a solid idea.
[10/4/2014 1:33:26 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: How much will a set of winter clothing be, for each of us?
[10/4/2014 1:34:19 PM] Xamusel: About 2 GP each, considering that they're out of season normally.
[10/4/2014 1:34:46 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: It's okay, we've got more than enough.
[10/4/2014 1:34:56 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: We'll take one set each then.
[10/4/2014 1:35:59 PM] Xamusel: Alright, that's good to hear.
[10/4/2014 1:36:57 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: After equipping ourselves with the heavy clothing, we start heading out for the place where Lady Argentea was taken.
[10/4/2014 1:37:17 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Time is of the essence here. We must not waste a second of it.
[10/4/2014 1:37:24 PM] Xamusel: I sure hope you got directions....
[10/4/2014 1:38:13 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: That's right, guys. We need to know where to head first. I think Lady Teppen would be our best bet, so we should ask her.
[10/4/2014 1:40:04 PM] Xamusel: At that moment, Lady Teppen (who's not even a noble, just a Commoner) appears before you, holding a roll of parchment. "Yuln Oerstag asked me to give this to you," she said. "He realized he forgot to give you directions on where to go."
[10/4/2014 1:41:23 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: "Thank you very much, that will help." I say as I take a look at the parchment in order to know the place where we should be heading.
[10/4/2014 1:42:57 PM] Xamusel: After handing over the parchment, Ionnia bows, saying, "May you have a safe journey on the way."
[10/4/2014 1:43:39 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: "Thank you. We will do our best to help."
[10/4/2014 1:44:11 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I guess it is time for us to go. I'll look at the map and see where we should be heading.
[10/4/2014 1:45:38 PM] Xamusel: With that, you head down six miles south of the village, following the path to the Border Woods.
[10/4/2014 1:47:24 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: We're keeping our guard up and looking around at all times. Who knows what sort of dangers are lurking here around these woods...
[10/4/2014 1:47:48 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: What are we seeing now? Are we close to the place of the kidnapping?
[10/4/2014 1:47:55 PM] Xamusel: Near the forest, the temperature grows noticeably colder.
The road ahead is littered with debris and the corpses of slain
humans and horses. A carriage stands in the roadway, its
team of horses missing or cut free, while another overturned
carriage lies sprawled and broken next to the tree line. To the
south, more bodies have fallen around what appears to be a
statue of ice. A snowy trail leads deeper into the forest.
[10/4/2014 1:48:08 PM] Xamusel: In short? Yes, you arrived at the scene.
[10/4/2014 1:49:34 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I'll go take a look at the carriage, but I'll keep at a couple meters' distance and do a Perception check to see if there is anything unusual.
[10/4/2014 1:50:05 PM] Xamusel: Which one? You mean the upright one, or the other?
[10/4/2014 1:50:30 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: The overturned one, I mean.
[10/4/2014 1:50:44 PM] Xamusel: Ah.
[10/4/2014 1:50:47 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I'll do the same thing with the other.
[10/4/2014 1:51:06 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: I'll be standing guard in case something tries to ambush us.
[10/4/2014 1:51:40 PM] Xamusel: Natsuki, roll for Perception. Zark, do the same.
[10/4/2014 1:52:31 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I rolled a 13+7=20
[10/4/2014 1:52:51 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I got a natural 20+6=26
[10/4/2014 1:54:21 PM | Edited 1:54:54 PM] Xamusel: Natsuki, you see what remains of the handmaidens that were in that particular carriage, plus three sets of courtier's clothing worth a fair amount of GP.
[10/4/2014 1:56:12 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I am still wary of getting closer. Wouldn't want there to be something dangerous. I'll be approaching carefully.
[10/4/2014 1:56:12 PM] Xamusel: Zark, you hear muffled movement from within the upright carraige and even see a slight hint of something in there... not a human something, though.
[10/4/2014 1:57:19 PM] Xamusel: Natsuki, relax, only the cadavers of the handmaidens remain in the overturned carriage.
[10/4/2014 1:57:44 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Alright then, I'll get closer.
[10/4/2014 1:58:00 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Did I see anything in particular?
[10/4/2014 1:59:27 PM] Xamusel: You saw a hint of bloodied armor, Zark, as well as a part of a hairless head... with some bits of flesh decaying.
[10/4/2014 1:59:59 PM] Xamusel: However, before anything else happens, roll a Hide check (I think there's one).
[10/4/2014 2:00:41 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I don't have ranks in Hide, but I am small-sized and have a +3 Dex modifier, so... does that count?
[10/4/2014 2:00:52 PM] Xamusel: It should.
[10/4/2014 2:01:18 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I rolled an 11+3+whatever my Small size bonus is.
[10/4/2014 2:03:41 PM] Xamusel: The attempt to hide was admirable, but an opposed Spot check succeeded in finding you just as you were about to get out of sight.
[10/4/2014 2:04:27 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Damn... I'll read my crossbow and step backwards. I think we've got some trouble here, guys!
[10/4/2014 2:04:51 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: I unsheathe my sword and run to Zork's side.
[10/4/2014 2:05:10 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: What's going on?
[10/4/2014 2:06:49 PM] Xamusel: As the group gathers together, the upright carriage opens up by force, revealing three zombies that are intent on devouring you as part of their original orders. A fight breaks out!
[10/4/2014 2:08:00 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: Zombies. Ugh. I hate zombies.
[10/4/2014 2:08:13 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: I'm ready. Let's cut these things to pieces!
[10/4/2014 2:08:57 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Owankane, we'll hold the position. Everyone else, stay back and riddle them with quarrels!
[10/4/2014 2:09:29 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Are the zombies upon us already, or do we have some time to hit them at a distance?
[10/4/2014 2:09:45 PM] Xamusel: The latter, actually.
[10/4/2014 2:10:20 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Alright then. I'll see about striking them with my sling before they get close.
[10/4/2014 2:10:37 PM] Xamusel: Roll for initiative, first.
[10/4/2014 2:10:59 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: 18
[10/4/2014 2:11:15 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: 3+3=6
[10/4/2014 2:11:30 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: 10+3=13
[10/4/2014 2:11:47 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: 14+3=17
[10/4/2014 2:12:09 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: 13-1=12
[10/4/2014 2:12:29 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: 18+3=21
[10/4/2014 2:13:14 PM] Xamusel: Alright, the zombies go between Jenna and Owankane, with Soho going first.
[10/4/2014 2:13:37 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: I'll take aim at one of the zombies, and shoot with my crossbow.
[10/4/2014 2:13:54 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: Rolled 15+3=18
[10/4/2014 2:14:19 PM] Xamusel: You hit Zombie A. Roll for damage.
[10/4/2014 2:14:33 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: 5 points of damage
[10/4/2014 2:15:02 PM] Xamusel: Okay, Dorothy's turn next.
[10/4/2014 2:15:18 PM] Xamusel: Are you going to attack the same one?
[10/4/2014 2:16:15 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: No, I'll be acting now. I'll do the same thing.
[10/4/2014 2:17:05 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: I'll attack the same zombie who was hit. My roll is 14+1=15
[10/4/2014 2:17:28 PM] Xamusel: ...that's what I meant by my question.
[10/4/2014 2:17:33 PM] Xamusel: Anyway, still a hit.
[10/4/2014 2:17:51 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: I got a 6 for damage.
[10/4/2014 2:18:11 PM] Xamusel: Alright, then. Zark's turn is here.
[10/4/2014 2:18:33 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Same thing as my comrades, and same opponent.
[10/4/2014 2:19:01 PM] Xamusel: Alright. What's the attack roll?
[10/4/2014 2:19:20 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: It's 10+5=15
[10/4/2014 2:20:39 PM] Xamusel: Hit... and the Zombie is destroyed, as it was at one HP left.
[10/4/2014 2:20:56 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: Good. That makes things a little bit easier.
[10/4/2014 2:21:06 PM] Xamusel: Yes, indeed.
[10/4/2014 2:21:24 PM] Xamusel: Natsuki, your turn.
[10/4/2014 2:21:52 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: I'll throw a shuriken at the next zombie.
[10/4/2014 2:22:09 PM] Xamusel: Alright. Attack roll?
[10/4/2014 2:22:43 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: 12+3=15, again.
[10/4/2014 2:23:03 PM] Xamusel: Hit. Roll for damage.
[10/4/2014 2:23:28 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Hm. Got a measly 1+1=2
[10/4/2014 2:23:45 PM] Xamusel: Still better than nothing.
[10/4/2014 2:23:48 PM] Xamusel: Jenna's turn.
[10/4/2014 2:24:37 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: I hold up my holy symbol and channel positive energy to attack the zombies..
[10/4/2014 2:25:17 PM] Xamusel: Alright. Roll to attack.
[10/4/2014 2:25:29 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: Wait, is that right?)
[10/4/2014 2:25:46 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Let me check)
[10/4/2014 2:26:35 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: Channeling positive energy doesn't need an attack roll, but the zombies are entitled to a Will save to halve the damage)
[10/4/2014 2:27:06 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: Ah. Alright.)
[10/4/2014 2:27:22 PM] Xamusel: Alright... now that that's cleared up, roll for damage.
[10/4/2014 2:27:35 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: Okay... my damage roll is 4
[10/4/2014 2:28:38 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: Crap... don't remember how to handle Will saves.)
[10/4/2014 2:29:15 PM] Enrico Martinelli: (OOC: The DC for the Will save is 10 + half my cleric level + my Cha modifier)
[10/4/2014 2:29:41 PM] Enrico Martinelli: 12, in this case
[10/4/2014 2:29:50 PM] Enrico Martinelli: DC 12, I mean
[10/4/2014 2:29:54 PM] Xamusel: (OOC: Okay.)
[10/4/2014 2:30:28 PM] Xamusel: The Zombies take full damage from the channeling positive energy action.
[10/4/2014 2:30:39 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: Cool!
[10/4/2014 2:30:57 PM] Xamusel: Now, it's the Zombies' turn to act.
[10/4/2014 2:31:47 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Okay.
[10/4/2014 2:32:26 PM] Xamusel: Both Zombies move towards the party, though Zombie B attempts to throw the Shuriken back at Natsuki.
[10/4/2014 2:33:14 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Woah. Can it do that?
[10/4/2014 2:35:04 PM] Xamusel: Not as well as it could when alive.
[10/4/2014 2:35:44 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Okay, so now I guess I'm under attack.
[10/4/2014 2:36:11 PM] Xamusel: Yep.
[10/4/2014 2:37:07 PM] Enrico Martinelli: My AC is 15
[10/4/2014 2:37:11 PM] Xamusel: 15-4=11
[10/4/2014 2:37:16 PM] Xamusel: It missed.
[10/4/2014 2:37:24 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Good... ^^
[10/4/2014 2:38:11 PM] Xamusel: Zombie C doesn't get to do anything this turn. Owankane, you're up.
[10/4/2014 2:39:34 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: I'll try to hit Zombie B with my sling.
[10/4/2014 2:39:47 PM] Xamusel: Okay.
[10/4/2014 2:40:10 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Attack roll is 3+4=7
[10/4/2014 2:40:21 PM] Xamusel: Ouch... you missed.
[10/4/2014 2:40:48 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Oh well... better luck next time
[10/4/2014 2:41:07 PM] Xamusel: Yep.
[10/4/2014 2:41:15 PM] Xamusel: Reroll initiative, guys.
[10/4/2014 2:41:34 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: 16+3=19
[10/4/2014 2:41:54 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: 12+3=15
[10/4/2014 2:42:10 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: 7+3=10
[10/4/2014 2:42:25 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Jenna: 8-1=7
[10/4/2014 2:42:42 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: 17
[10/4/2014 2:42:59 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: 14+3=17
[10/4/2014 2:43:39 PM] Xamusel: So... on the rules of a tie in combat order among you guys, roll a d6 to see who goes first.
[10/4/2014 2:43:56 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: I rolled a 6
[10/4/2014 2:44:02 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Soho: I rolled a 4
[10/4/2014 2:44:09 PM] Xamusel: Yeah, Dorothy goes first.
[10/4/2014 2:44:19 PM] Xamusel: Natsuki, your turn.
[10/4/2014 2:44:41 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Can I run up to Zombie B and slash it with my shortsword?
[10/4/2014 2:44:53 PM] Xamusel: Yes, actually.
[10/4/2014 2:45:26 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Okay, I'll roll for attack... 15+3=18
[10/4/2014 2:45:37 PM] Xamusel: A hit!
[10/4/2014 2:45:45 PM] Xamusel: Roll for damage.
[10/4/2014 2:45:54 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Cool! Damage is 6+1=7
[10/4/2014 2:46:09 PM] Xamusel: Zombie B is killed.
[10/4/2014 2:46:15 PM] Xamusel: Dorothy's turn.
[10/4/2014 2:46:33 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Cool! Well, it was already dead, but I get the point. :)
[10/4/2014 2:47:05 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Okay. I'll get up in the last zombie's face and try to strike it down with my sword.
[10/4/2014 2:47:28 PM] Xamusel: Roll for attack.
[10/4/2014 2:47:51 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: 9+5=14
[10/4/2014 2:48:00 PM] Xamusel: Hit.
[10/4/2014 2:48:04 PM] Xamusel: Roll for damage.
[10/4/2014 2:48:34 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Damage is 7+4=11
[10/4/2014 2:49:13 PM] Xamusel: Downed for the count.
[10/4/2014 2:49:41 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Dorothy: Phew. Well, that went well.
[10/4/2014 2:49:51 PM] Xamusel: Congratulations! You each receive 100 XP for defeating the zombies.
[10/4/2014 2:50:20 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Cool! So, I guess the battle is over.
[10/4/2014 2:50:27 PM] Xamusel: Yep.
[10/4/2014 2:51:30 PM] Xamusel: Now that the zombie mess has been taken care of, do you want to get back to checking for items?
[10/4/2014 2:52:29 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Yes, and we would also want to give the fallen maids and guards a proper burial, if possible.
[10/4/2014 2:52:48 PM] Xamusel: That's a wise idea, actually.
[10/4/2014 2:52:59 PM] Xamusel: Do so, then.
[10/4/2014 2:53:28 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Owankane: Alright. Dorothy and I will get around to digging a few graves.
[10/4/2014 2:54:13 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Natsuki: Alright. I'll take the valuables.
[10/4/2014 2:56:23 PM] Enrico Martinelli: Zark: I'll go check the carriage where the zombies were. Maybe there's something there too.

By the way, the reason why my friend seems to have a strange choice of name (I'm the one known as Xamusel) is because that was her brother's old Skype account, and she hadn't gotten around to changing it yet.

Want someone to wake you up when the filler's over?

...sorry, that's an anime joke, not applicable for here.

Ah... thanks for the input.

I'll check back later for when there's an update.

So... because I would like to know pricing and such available for at least one person going, as I'm hoping to attend my first convention in a local enough setting, I just have to ask: What's the word on prices for tickets and hotel rooms? What's the word on sales for said products?
