Hi Kimberly Jelena Max & Tony :)

Seraphus:hi

Dagny (Kimberly):Hi Simon & everyone!

Rhennya:Hi Simon and all

Simon N. (GM):Check that you can see your PCs (near bottom of screen) ok

Dagny (Kimberly):Yes, and the driftglobe

Simon N. (GM):Cool :)

Rhennya:Yep

Simon N. (GM):Hi Phil :)

Tony:hello

Alani (Phil):Hello Simon! :-)

Hello Dear Fellow Adventurers!

Simon N. (GM):The rough walls of this cavern rise to a vaulted ceiling hung with stalactites and clumps of slender, luminous crystals that bathe the cavern in a soft, violet light. Passages lead east and west. To the east, the tunnel ascends. The western passage is flanked by a pair of twenty-foot tall stone statues of rough-hewn humanoids, their faces grim masks of forbiddance.

Hi Bill :)

sharatu:hi

Simon N. (GM):GM: OK ready when you are. :) Last session you defeated 2 guards & 2 earth elementals at the entrance to the Black Geode.

Dagny (Kimberly):Hey Bill

Simon N. (GM):Hopefully you have loads of time before the cult summons Ogremoch...

Dagny (Kimberly):When I look at the statues, what can I see?

Or tell about them with my stonecunning?

Simon N. (GM):Outside combat you can move your tokens up to your Speed at any time, but wait for me to post something before moving again.

Kasumi:Hi All!

Aaargh, not the tokens lol

JellyBane

Seraphus:i look you in the eyeball

Simon N. (GM):Hi Jelly! GM: The statues look to be carved roughy from the rock, embodying strength and power of the Black Earth.

Dagny (Kimberly):What do I know about the Black Earth from my dwarven history?

Simon N. (GM):The Black Earth cult are the enemies of the Shadowed Chain led by Serka Glintshield. Not long ago great heroes led by Sir Dunstan Ironforge defeated them and destroyed Stonefang, Ogremoch's avatar/child, but it seems they are back along with 3 other elemental cults.

Dagny (Kimberly):Just seeing the statues makes my hackles rise. I grit my teeth as I approach them.

Simon N. (GM):It's said Queen Lirael of Loudwater provided Dunstan some assistance. :)

Rhennya:Phil's PC is restarting, otherwise he's be gloating

Simon N. (GM):GM: You may move your tokens at will if moving onward.

Dagny (Kimberly):Ok, I keep my eye on the statues as I approach.

Simon N. (GM):They don't move

Ahead the tunnel turns north

You can move up to the tunnel bend.

There's a dim purplish light from crystals embedded in the walls.

.Ahead: The walls of this circular chamber are thick with glowing crystals. In the middle of the room is a fat, egg-shaped creature with three arms, three legs, heavy-lidded eyes, and a wide mouth atop its stony ovoid body. Casually dropping gemstones into the creature's gaping mouth is a creepy-looking earth cultist.

https://www.aidedd.org/dnd/images/xorn.jpg

Dagny (Kimberly):Oh, that's ugly

Simon N. (GM):He looks up as your light falls into the chamber and straightens. "Welcome, supplicants!"

Dagny (Kimberly):the violet coloured gemstomes?

Tony:okey kokey

Dagny (Kimberly):The cultist, or the egg-shaped creature?

Rhennya:Yes, that;s who we are

Simon N. (GM):the man

Alani (Phil):Finally back in the game! :-O

Simon N. (GM):"I am Keltar. This is Gorx. Do you bring an offering?"

Kasumi:Yes!

Kasumi holds out the two stone eyes she acquired a while ago.

Simon N. (GM):Keltar: "Then place your offerings into the maw of Gorx, that they may make their way to Prince Ogremoch!"

(move your tokens up please)

Rhennya:I wonder what is the mechanism by which the offerings reach him...

Kasumi:Kasumi heads to the maw and reverently places the stones inside.

Simon N. (GM):If you're talking to Keltar

chomp chomp

Dagny (Kimberly):I ask Keltar, Have many more arrived before us?

Simon N. (GM):Keltar: "Ogremoch requires gems to the value of 500 gold."

Alani (Phil):Oh I see you are a fine amateur of the finer things... :-)

Dagny (Kimberly):I whisper to the others -- I have but one, what would you have me do?

Simon N. (GM):>>I wonder what is the mechanism by which the offerings reach him...<< Keltar: "Ours is not to concern ourselves with such matters." Gorx: "BURP"

Rhennya:LOL

Kasumi:What is the fastest way to Ogremoch, that we may worship in person?

Simon N. (GM):Roll persuasion Kasumi

or Deception

Kasumi:Both just as bad lol

I'll try persuasion

Simon N. (GM):Keltar: "To prove your worthiness in the eyes of Ogrmoch, take the right hand passage" - he points right/east.

sharatu:"tank you"

Simon N. (GM):"There you will be trialled, and the weak winnowed."

Tony:do we each need 500 gem or 1 for the party?

Simon N. (GM):"In total"

Rhennya:or in total?

Kasumi:OOC Simon is Keltar saying we need to give 500gp worth before we can move forward?

sharatu:i go down the right passage

Simon N. (GM):yes

Dagny (Kimberly):What does Gorx do as Sharatu heads down the passage?

Simon N. (GM):OOC game is very laggy today, I've turned down the dynamic lighting

Rhennya:Rhennya can donate some very valuable leaves if necessary

Simon N. (GM):The Xorn follows Sharatu and taps him on the shoulder.

sharatu:"yes?"

Simon N. (GM):"*RUMBLE BUMBLE GUMBLE"

Who speaks Terran/Primordial?

sharatu:"pardon me"

Kasumi:I can understand anything!

Dagny (Kimberly):I do

Alani (Phil):I do!

Kasumi:Tongue of Sun and Moon fewat

Simon N. (GM):It's saying "Give me gems to eat!"

Dagny (Kimberly):I pull out a diamond and hold it aloft

I come with tribute, I say

Simon N. (GM):The Xorn walks back towards Dagny eagerly.

Dagny (Kimberly):I somewhat sadly but resignedly give it to the Xorn

Simon N. (GM):Keltar: "Good stuff! Prince Ogremoch is pleased at your devotion."

"MUNCH MUNCH"

Alani (Phil):Biting my tongue. "I am NOT deviter to Ogremock..."

Rhennya:shall we just recover our (and all previous) gems?

Alani (Phil):This guy needs a gastric band!

Simon N. (GM):Keltar to Dagny: "Now I shall tell you how to pass safely to the Inner Sanctum... and the Pass Phrase..."

Rhennya:"So Keltar, what's on the left hand side?"

Dagny (Kimberly):"I thank you"

Keltar missed the conversation between Alani & Rhennya. :)

Dagny (Kimberly):(they were whispering)

Tony:What is the pass phrase?

please

Simon N. (GM):Keltar: "The pass phrase to cross the stone bridge safely is "We walk in the shadow of Ogrémoch!"

Dagny (Kimberly):"To the right?"

Simon N. (GM):"And of course for those whose devotion is already undoubted, the left path, avoiding near-certain death, is best."

Dagny (Kimberly):We shall take the left then. I thank you.

Rhennya:"Excellent"

Simon N. (GM):Keltar nods happily.

Kasumi:My thanks!

Simon N. (GM):There is a dull roar from the left tunnel like rushing water, but more viscous.

Seraphus, Ralph you see ahead the passage opens up.

Mudflow Falls

The dull roar of splashing, churning mud fills this cavern, the walls and ceiling of which are streaked with glittering veins of glowing violet crystal. A stream of mud pours through a gash in the roof, cascades down until it crashes onto a ten-foot-high ledge, then tumbles over the ledge into a thin river of mud that flows out through a hole in the northeast corner. A stone staircase climbs up to the ledge, where a passage leads north. A tunnel on the lower level leads south.

Kasumi:OOC skyrim feels!

Simon N. (GM)::) The mud river is 6 feet wide at narrowest.

The ledge to the west is 10' above the main cavern.

Dagny (Kimberly):Can I tell anything with my stonecutting? Or are their footprints in the mud?

Or can we hear anything over the splash of. the mud river?

Tony:OOC, is the pier looking thing the staircase?

Simon N. (GM):It flows into a submerged tunnel to the west, descending steeply Dagny. Your Stoncunning tells you going in the mud would be bad unless you want a good pummeling but the stairs up to the ledge look solid.

yes

Dagny (Kimberly):But the stairs are across the river, aren't they?

Simon N. (GM):yes, but you could running jump it easy enough

sharatu:i do a running jump across the river

Alani (Phil):Cool! I jump across !

Tony:I run like hell and jump

Alani (Phil):Athletics?

ATHLETICS (7)

Dagny (Kimberly):Okay, I shall follow the lead of the others and gather myself to do the running jump

Kasumi:I can move across liquids without falling: Unarmoured Movement.

Simon N. (GM):Kasumi just walks across :)

Dagny (Kimberly):Would it be safe to scoop up some of the mud in a jar that I have?

Simon N. (GM):You can try Dagny

Rhennya:I've jumped as well

Simon N. (GM):The mud seems lukewarm

Dagny (Kimberly):Eh, I'll scrape up any that has splashed up

But I am careful not to touch it with my hands

Simon N. (GM):Ascending the stone steps, Rhennya you see a tunnel to the north and a steeply descending tunnel to the SW

Dagny (Kimberly):I seal the jar

Are there any footsteps in either tunnel showing traffic?

Simon N. (GM):@Ralph This cave is a forest of glowing crystals, which grow like foliage on slender stone columns that make it difficult to gauge the chamber's true size. Slumped against one of the columns is a dead man wearing a stone breastplate.

Rhennya:Sounds lovely

do we recognise the breastplate?

Simon N. (GM):Looks like a Black Earth guard breastplate.

sharatu:"are we sure we want to go in there"

Dagny (Kimberly):Are these the same crystals we saw earlier?

Or different?

Simon N. (GM):The crystals are much denser here.

Dagny (Kimberly):I find the arrows suspicious

Kasumi:I agree. A trap, perhaps?

Simon N. (GM):Alani your brain feels fuzzy...

Alani (Phil):I go back a few steps...

Simon N. (GM):Alani roll a WIS save

Rhennya:I grab Alani and pull him back

Alani (Phil):"I don;t feel so good my friends " I try to shout...

Can I reroll?

Dagny (Kimberly):So that I can use Lesser Restoration on him?

Simon N. (GM):yup

Dagny (Kimberly):Or were you saying it wouldn't work?

Ok, then I lay my hands upon him

as we pull him back from the tunnel

Simon N. (GM):You touch a creature and can end either one disease or one condition afflicting it. The condition can be blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned. So no effect

Rhennya:Was it purple?

Simon N. (GM):Alani can have Inspiration :)

Alani (Phil):Thanks! :-)

Simon N. (GM):Sharatu moves north (on his screen anyway - mine is incredibly laggy)

The passage opens onto a smooth stone bridge flanked by boulders. The bridge is five feet wide, has no railings, and spans a wide cavern that echoes with strange clacking noises.

The boulder beside Alani unfurls...

And I shouted :-) in my booming dwarven voice

excuse me while I log off & on again!

Dagny (Kimberly):I'm wee again!

Simon N. (GM):GM: The Galeb Duhr hears Dagny yell and takes a step back, lowering its red glowing eyes & standing down.

Simon N. (GM):(OK now I know not to stay logged into game for hours pre game!)

Alani (Phil):Impressive!

Dagny (Kimberly):I stand tall and proud, how I imagine a crazy earth cultist might

Keeping an eye on all the baddies

Simon N. (GM):The galeb duhr lets Dagny pass

Dagny (Kimberly):If they don't do anything, I'll wave Ralph, etc. or whoever on, as I want to be in the middle...

Simon N. (GM):You can move onto the bridge.

Rhennya:I move up and say the words

"We walk in the shadow of Ogrémoch!

Simon N. (GM):You can move over the bridge - 40 feet long and sturdy.

The galeb duhr on the far side steps back to let you cross.

West is quiet

sharatu:well morth it is

Simon N. (GM):North: *Bulette Kennels

Boulders have been used to build crude, roofless enclosures similar to pens—three to the north and three to the south. Odd saddles and harnesses are piled in the middle of the cave, while spears and goads lean against the walls.*

If no unoccupied space is within range, the creature instead falls prone in the bulette's space.

Hi Kimberly Jelena Max & Tony :)

Seraphus:hi

Dagny (Kimberly):Hi Simon & everyone!

Rhennya:Hi Simon and all

Simon N. (GM):Check that you can see your PCs (near bottom of screen) ok

Dagny (Kimberly):Yes, and the driftglobe

Simon N. (GM):Cool :)

Rhennya:Yep

Simon N. (GM):Hi Phil :)

Tony:hello

Alani (Phil):Hello Simon! :-)

Hello Dear Fellow Adventurers!

Simon N. (GM):The rough walls of this cavern rise to a vaulted ceiling hung with stalactites and clumps of slender, luminous crystals that bathe the cavern in a soft, violet light. Passages lead east and west. To the east, the tunnel ascends. The western passage is flanked by a pair of twenty-foot tall stone statues of rough-hewn humanoids, their faces grim masks of forbiddance.

Hi Bill :)

sharatu:hi

Simon N. (GM):GM: OK ready when you are. :) Last session you defeated 2 guards & 2 earth elementals at the entrance to the Black Geode.

Dagny (Kimberly):Hey Bill

Simon N. (GM):Hopefully you have loads of time before the cult summons Ogremoch...

Dagny (Kimberly):When I look at the statues, what can I see?

Or tell about them with my stonecunning?

Simon N. (GM):Outside combat you can move your tokens up to your Speed at any time, but wait for me to post something before moving again.

Kasumi:Hi All!

Aaargh, not the tokens lol

JellyBane

Seraphus:i look you in the eyeball

Simon N. (GM):Hi Jelly! GM: The statues look to be carved roughy from the rock, embodying strength and power of the Black Earth.

Dagny (Kimberly):What do I know about the Black Earth from my dwarven history?

Simon N. (GM):The Black Earth cult are the enemies of the Shadowed Chain led by Serka Glintshield. Not long ago great heroes led by Sir Dunstan Ironforge defeated them and destroyed Stonefang, Ogremoch's avatar/child, but it seems they are back along with 3 other elemental cults.

Dagny (Kimberly):Just seeing the statues makes my hackles rise. I grit my teeth as I approach them.

Simon N. (GM):It's said Queen Lirael of Loudwater provided Dunstan some assistance. :)

Rhennya:Phil's PC is restarting, otherwise he's be gloating

Simon N. (GM):GM: You may move your tokens at will if moving onward.

Dagny (Kimberly):Ok, I keep my eye on the statues as I approach.

Simon N. (GM):They don't move

Ahead the tunnel turns north

You can move up to the tunnel bend.

There's a dim purplish light from crystals embedded in the walls.

.Ahead: The walls of this circular chamber are thick with glowing crystals. In the middle of the room is a fat, egg-shaped creature with three arms, three legs, heavy-lidded eyes, and a wide mouth atop its stony ovoid body. Casually dropping gemstones into the creature's gaping mouth is a creepy-looking earth cultist.

https://www.aidedd.org/dnd/images/xorn.jpg

Dagny (Kimberly):Oh, that's ugly

Simon N. (GM):He looks up as your light falls into the chamber and straightens. "Welcome, supplicants!"

Dagny (Kimberly):the violet coloured gemstomes?

Tony:okey kokey

Dagny (Kimberly):The cultist, or the egg-shaped creature?

Rhennya:Yes, that;s who we are

Simon N. (GM):the man

Alani (Phil):Finally back in the game! :-O

Kasumi:Yes!

Kasumi holds out the two stone eyes she acquired a while ago.

Simon N. (GM):Keltar: "Then place your offerings into the maw of Gorx, that they may make their way to Prince Ogremoch!"

(move your tokens up please)

Rhennya:I wonder what is the mechanism by which the offerings reach him...

Kasumi:Kasumi heads to the maw and reverently places the stones inside.

Simon N. (GM):If you're talking to Keltar

Dagny (Kimberly):I ask Keltar, Have many more arrived before us?

Simon N. (GM):Keltar: "Ogremoch requires gems to the value of 500 gold."

Alani (Phil):Oh I see you are a fine amateur of the finer things... :-)

Dagny (Kimberly):I whisper to the others -- I have but one, what would you have me do?

Simon N. (GM):>>I wonder what is the mechanism by which the offerings reach him...<< Keltar: "Ours is not to concern ourselves with such matters." Gorx: "BURP"

Rhennya:LOL

Keltar missed the conversation between Alani & Rhennya. :)

Dagny (Kimberly):(they were whispering)

please

Simon N. (GM):Keltar: "The pass phrase to cross the stone bridge safely is "We walk in the shadow of Ogrémoch!"

Dagny (Kimberly):"To the right?"

Simon N. (GM):"And of course for those whose devotion is already undoubted, the left path, avoiding near-certain death, is best."

Dagny (Kimberly):We shall take the left then. I thank you.

Rhennya:"Excellent"

Simon N. (GM):Keltar nods happily.

Kasumi:My thanks!

Simon N. (GM):There is a dull roar from the left tunnel like rushing water, but more viscous.

Seraphus, Ralph you see ahead the passage opens up.

Mudflow Falls

The dull roar of splashing, churning mud fills this cavern, the walls and ceiling of which are streaked with glittering veins of glowing violet crystal. A stream of mud pours through a gash in the roof, cascades down until it crashes onto a ten-foot-high ledge, then tumbles over the ledge into a thin river of mud that flows out through a hole in the northeast corner. A stone staircase climbs up to the ledge, where a passage leads north. A tunnel on the lower level leads south.

Kasumi:OOC skyrim feels!

Simon N. (GM)::) The mud river is 6 feet wide at narrowest.

The ledge to the west is 10' above the main cavern.

Dagny (Kimberly):Can I tell anything with my stonecutting? Or are their footprints in the mud?

Or can we hear anything over the splash of. the mud river?

Tony:OOC, is the pier looking thing the staircase?

Simon N. (GM):It flows into a submerged tunnel to the west, descending steeply Dagny. Your Stoncunning tells you going in the mud would be bad unless you want a good pummeling but the stairs up to the ledge look solid.

Kasumi:I can move across liquids without falling: Unarmoured Movement.

Dagny (Kimberly):Would it be safe to scoop up some of the mud in a jar that I have?

Simon N. (GM):You can try Dagny

Rhennya:I've jumped as well

Simon N. (GM):The mud seems lukewarm

Dagny (Kimberly):Eh, I'll scrape up any that has splashed up

But I am careful not to touch it with my hands

Simon N. (GM):Ascending the stone steps, Rhennya you see a tunnel to the north and a steeply descending tunnel to the SW

Dagny (Kimberly):I seal the jar

Are there any footsteps in either tunnel showing traffic?

Simon N. (GM):@Ralph This cave is a forest of glowing crystals, which grow like foliage on slender stone columns that make it difficult to gauge the chamber's true size. Slumped against one of the columns is a dead man wearing a stone breastplate.

Rhennya:Sounds lovely

do we recognise the breastplate?

Simon N. (GM):Looks like a Black Earth guard breastplate.

sharatu:"are we sure we want to go in there"

Dagny (Kimberly):Are these the same crystals we saw earlier?

Or different?

Simon N. (GM):The crystals are much denser here.

Dagny (Kimberly):I find the arrows suspicious

Kasumi:I agree. A trap, perhaps?

Simon N. (GM):Alani your brain feels fuzzy...
