We are quite far from the end. Inactive is probably best. John can PM us if he wants to get the band back together again.

Thanks for the game.

Hope business and health go well. I see a chiropractor 2x week and it makes all the difference now.

Trane attacks the closest enemy with powerful enchanted claws and teeth.

claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 171d4 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 131d4 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Trane does a mini transformation, only his face and hands morphing as he enters.

Trane moves in with his lion.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

The lion cub attacks the wolf man, showing the lupine who is top cat.

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 141d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 221d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Do not see the lion cub on map.

If the lion cub is not close, he circles all around the wolf cub to allow Uldar to flank, drawing an attack from the wolf. Then he lashes with a single bite.
First attack only then

Trane conserves any magic, as the big boys seem to have this in hand.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane sends in his young lion, who closes and bites.
lion cub: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 151d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Chaandra circles around, letting the big guys get up front.

Trane delays.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane decides with the barbarian elf ready to rushing in, he is going to back him up with some support and help him out.
Trane has a chance to summon a young lion (std action).

The young lion readies to charge the closest enemy at Trane's command.

Interesting to see if the lion gets one.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane will make himself stronger and change to partial lion.

Trane says: "Let me consult with my companions."

Trane whispers to Uldar first, then gestures for him to whisper to someone else while he whispers to Velcore: "They are trying to trick us. They are up to no good. Pass the message on."

Trane nods as the message continues to the others. He gestures and a group of earth elementals appears.
# small earth elemtals summoned: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

My after finals celebration was drinking a two liter wine cooler by myself.

"This sounds a little far-fetched. Maybe we start with this scimitar? If it works, we can try it again next week."

Trane was naturally suspicious of humans. He preferred the company of animals. These creatures aroused some suspicion in him. He hands over a mundane scimitar for the trial. He looks the divine beings in the eye, careful to read any hesitation or lack of faith in their ability to magic his weapon.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane nods.
"Do it!!"


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

"Yes, good question. We need information to prepare us. Can you help us make a map and tell us what we are up against?"


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane is quite taken by the sight.
"Can evil wear such a pure guise?? I think not!!"

Trane and Chaandra approach the figures.
"We would like your blessing, servants of good. How did you come to be here? The line is what are two nice creatures like you doing in a place like this?"


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane summons 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 eagles to assist.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane points out the sword. "A truly amazing sword. Too bad none of use seem to like one-handed swords of this size much."

Trane follows the human's example, though, and wraps the rope of entanglement around him as a belt.

"This rope can be useful, and I am glad it wasn't used against us. The gems and valuables we can add to our treasure collected."


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane reverts back to human and smiles at the bugbear as his teeth return to normal with a crack of his jaw. "Just take us below. You can earn some extra coin too for your help, the lady has money. And you won't find what it is like to be hurt by lions."

Trane pats the lion that arrived and sends him on his way. He searches the fallen human, expecting the most treasure to be on him.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

After Chaandra attacks the grappled bugbear, Trane and his summoned lion shift five feet to the south.

The young lion attacks.
lion bite/damage/grab: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
lion claw/damage: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 161d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
lion claw/damage: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 201d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Trane then attacks the human with his claws and bite.
bite: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 2 - 2 = 211d4 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Trane gestures, and a young lion appears in the middle of their enemies (U8).

The lion attacks the bugbear after Chaandra moves to assist, the lions instinctively flanking the bugbear to harass him from both sides.

Trane moves to take a spot threatening the human and leaving his friends ample room to engage the bugbears. He thinks of Roran and Carp and the saying 'big cats gotta eat' (Trane move to S8)

Trane stalks the rogue to be near in case danger appeared.

Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

We have a magic rope on the spreadsheet listed as being sold. I was hoping we could keep it.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane moves the magic rope that moves on command into the keep pile.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane puts up his hand.
"Maybe we should let Uldar check this out. Never know!!"

Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane decides the robe is worthy of investigation. He examines it as he helps the others search.

Trane mentions: "Carp, this is Rorax. He may be a better fighter than you. He has the move where he chops two people at the same time with one swing."


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane follows up on the same opponent (human I).

If Trane finishes him off, he will step in his square


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane begins attacking the bugbear (G), and once he falls, he steps over his body and attacks the other enemy (I)

claw: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 231d4 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
claw: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 141d4 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Trane moves forward (I7) and mauls the bugbear (e).

We can move faster with spells active.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane has no time for exhaustive searches when magic is active. He will search and open the other door if it takes too long.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

"Let's try this east door."
Before opening, Trane casts bull's strength and changes into a lion.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Bull's strength should go on me when I no longer can cast it myself, it won't stack with belt of strength.
magic weapons should go on Uldar when he is shooting his normal bow versus a target needing magic weapons.

1000 gp is too much to learn a lvl 1 spell. Guess we can pass there.

We could use some haste scrolls--to buy them 375gp. Half that to scribe. Wands at 225gp per charge is best value.

Definitely doubles Roran's effectiveness.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane buys an amulet that makes his natural strikes enchanted.

Trane nods solemnly then adds:
"It appears nests of evil need to be exterminated rather than pruned back."

The druid thinks in natural terms.
"Unless the roots are destroyed, plants often come back."


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

Trane moves in to help with the bugbear (or the ogre if he falls).
scimitar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 191d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

"Roran, the big one is yours!!"

Thanksgiving is coming up.

I am thankful for Storymaster running an awesome old school game. His maps and links are awesome.

I am thankful Uldar our rogue tries to move things along.

I am thankful we have a fighter that deals massive damage, but sad our bard that gave +2/+2 buffs is gone as we were using six of them a round with my animal companion and druid on full attacks.

I am also thankful we have a good group and less than 2K XP to get to level 6.

Trane nods to Roran as he moves out of the bugbears view. He also motions to Chaandra, who knows she should pounce.


Human hp=47/47(AC21/ff20/t12) {F=+5/R=+2/W=+7} CMD 17 Druid (lion shaman) 6--Wild shape(2/3) Totem Xformation (3/3)

"Lion time is limited."
