Eamon (Bill):if anything attacks me i'll certainly die i'd rather get somewhere safe first
Gorlock (Tony):find some loot, fill the coffers, save Eamon
Greeba (Jelena):OOC can I go around the teleporting circle?
Wisteria of Skullspire:This room seems safe now?
Greeba (Jelena):to get to the other door
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I am happy clearing the twoer quickly but we have no guarantee the main door will open, so we might have to come by the top anyway.
Simon N. (GM):yes you can step round the circle
Greeba (Jelena):OK, we'll come back up then
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I open the door...
Greeba (Jelena):That's not the staircase!
Eamon (Bill):"i'm going to wait in the bed"
Arian:It must be just the teleports to get around the tower
Simon N. (GM):13. BATHROOM
Simon N. (GM):and towels.
Greeba (Jelena):"yes, brother Eamon, rest and conserve your strength"
Arian:*tucks Eamon in"
Simon N. (GM):A privy sits behind the curtain.
Arian:Arian eyes the bath stuffs (do I have time to grab them?)
Gorlock (Tony):So...Tiff somewhere else
Greeba (Jelena):"A nice horn brush? I won't say no"
Arian:We'll have to take the teleport
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):The teleport circle was really their safety gate
Simon N. (GM):You may grab unguents Arian
Arian:gathers the lovely smelling bath stuffs
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Could there be an ungent for Eamon in there?
Gorlock (Tony):very safe room, no way in but teleport
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):yep
Arian:Can I use herbalism to examine them and see if there would be anything useful?
Simon N. (GM):ok
Arian:

Arian:Ok, worth a shot ;-)
Greeba (Jelena):OK, teleport it is!
Xarius:yay my roll20 is back
Simon N. (GM):GM: 4 of you can squeeze onto the teleport circle at a time
Greeba (Jelena):I'm in the first group
Gorlock (Tony):I'm in
Greeba (Jelena):Thibault too
Simon N. (GM):Wisteria?
Wisteria of Skullspire:Yes I'll go with group 1
Arian:I'll go with Xarius, and Trystan
Gorlock (Tony):Bowels of dispair
Simon N. (GM):You 4 & Tiff arrive in a cramped room with doors on each wall
Greeba (Jelena):hammer readied
Simon N. (GM):(to upper right)
Gorlock (Tony):eeny meeny miny mo
Greeba (Jelena):Can Thib check for evil?
Simon N. (GM):8. ANTECHAMBER
Arian:Can we fit in there?
Gorlock (Tony):north
Greeba (Jelena):If not, I open the door between Thib and me
Wisteria of Skullspire:Hmmmm........
Simon N. (GM):Greeba gets a door open
Wisteria of Skullspire:Crit arcana check on the flame for Wisteria please.
Simon N. (GM):9. TROPHY ROOM
Simon N. (GM):one corner. One wall is covered by a tapestry depicting
Greeba (Jelena):Trophies? Good.
Simon N. (GM):It's a magical illumination Wisteria
Arian:Hmmm, what's that armor?
Wisteria of Skullspire:Impressive!
Gorlock (Tony):Cast light on a piece of kindling and pass to Tiff.
Simon N. (GM):The armour turns to look at you.
Wisteria of Skullspire:This Raggy was definitely more admirable in life than in his foul undeath.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):OOOPS!
Gorlock (Tony):Run Tiff
Greeba (Jelena):waving warhammer at the armour
Arian:curtsies politely to the armour
Simon N. (GM):It's not moving towards you, but it seems to be regarding you.
Greeba (Jelena):Shall we check out the other rooms and collect the loot after?
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Yep
Gorlock (Tony):Back away from the armour
Greeba (Jelena):I want to see the shelves, but it can wait
Arian:Shall we open another door and close this one?
Gorlock (Tony):yes please
Greeba (Jelena):Next one, up
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):It's like a rugby scrum in there!
Greeba (Jelena):also readied weapon
Simon N. (GM):Greeba tries the top door. There's an ominous click...
Gorlock (Tony):cliiiiick
Arian:ready to jump back into teleport
Simon N. (GM):Then the entire door slams out and smashes you into the far wall

Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):OK, my friends, it looks like this whole floor is just a bunch of traps aimed at protecting the penthouse of the wizsard. Let's not waste our time here.

Gorlock (Tony):cure wounds on self
Greeba (Jelena):OK, thanks Simon (short rest for hit dice?)
Wisteria of Skullspire:Trystan forgot to do Song of Rest during the last short rest
Simon N. (GM):could you all deduct the 22 hp
Wisteria of Skullspire:
Song Of Rest
The bard can perform a song while taking a short rest. Any ally who hears the song regains an extra 1d6 hit points if it spends any Hit Dice to regain hit points at the end of that rest. The bard can confer this benefit on itself as well.
Simon N. (GM):You all get a ping in your heads asking if you want to go up or down
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Done. Thanks Simon! Great old scholl dungeon! Love it!
Wisteria of Skullspire:Extra 3HP for anyone who used hit die last short rest.
Gorlock (Tony):up
Wisteria of Skullspire:And thanks Simon for another great game, lots of fun and games this week!
Simon N. (GM):OK you are teleported back upstairs where you may rest/short rest

Xarius:hello humans
Xarius Jaunesse (Max):how is your day(s)
Arian:Hiya Maximus Totallis
Gorlock (Tony):So, we killed the bad guys, nearly died and now need to save Eamon, right
Xarius Jaunesse (Max):wait thats not grammatically correct
Jelly:Hi everyone! Finally connected!
Gorlock (Tony):woot
Arian:It took me a while too
Gorlock (Tony):too many assets
Arian:Well, we got slammed by the door
Gorlock (Tony):yep
Arian:But, yeah, need to go save Eamon
Jelly:Kim I can't remember what XP we're at now? Did we get any extra for the write-up?
Arian:Yep, he did 100 for it
Jelly:Oh great thank you!
Arian:Hiya Phil and Jelena!
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Good evening, good companions of adventure! :-)
Jelly:Hi Phi, hi Jelena!
Greeba (Jelena):Hi all!
Simon N. (GM):Hi all!
Gorlock (Tony):hey!
Arian:Hiya!
Jelly:Hi!
Arian:Time to save Eamon!
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Yes!
Gorlock (Tony):abseil down the walls?
Greeba (Jelena):Yes, I can carry Eamon
Arian:Likely the fastest
Jelly:Will the door front door work from the inside?
Arian:Is Bill coming tonight?
Gorlock (Tony):not sure, we can't get to it can we?
Jelly:Oh yes forgot more baddies below!
Gorlock (Tony):and traps
Simon N. (GM):No Bill tonight
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil)::-(
Gorlock (Tony):let Eamon die then :)
Arian:No, we're not gonna do that plllbbbtt
Jelly:I was just about to say, no-show players are always fair game if you're going old-school!
Greeba (Jelena):LOL, terrible!
Arian:How is everyone's health?
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):You are the worst type of peeerson!
Gorlock (Tony):me too
Arian:I am just a couple down and have only used one spell
Jelly:3HP off full for Wisteria.
Arian:No, we can't let him die
Jelly:Trystan at full HP
Greeba (Jelena):Let's take him to the monastery and come back again...
Arian:Simon, can I use my survival skill to check on the relative likelihood of it being ok to fight our way down... vs. abseiling?
Jelly:I think we need to either get back to the Priory or the Abbey?
Arian:The Priory, I think
Jelly:Not sure which is closer, can't remember?
Gorlock (Tony):abseil
Arian:He had a vision of the Priory, so likely we need to go there
Simon N. (GM):>>Arian:Simon, can I use my survival skill to check on the relative likelihood of it being ok to fight our way down... vs. abseiling?<< Not really, but you should be able to take the rope down again from the tower top.
Arian:Ok
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I shall go first on my own to protect Greeba abseiling with Eamon
Arian:Let's strap Eamon to Greeba's back (after wrapping him in a sheet or something so he doesn't come into contact with her in case he's catching...)
Simon N. (GM)::)
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Yes please
Simon N. (GM):30 minutes later you are all assembled safely beneath the tower. A cold night wind blows down from the mountain peaks.
Arian:Do we still have the slab of beef just in case?
Greeba (Jelena):Our horses? Including mine carrying the side of beef
Simon N. (GM):It's well after dark. I take it the beef is with the horses.
Greeba (Jelena):I think we should travel at night, on the road, to get Eamon to safety asap
Simon N. (GM):You rendezvous with the horses where you left them a little down the valley.
Gorlock (Tony):agreed, away we go
Arian:I give Shirley a carrot
Simon N. (GM):It's a mostly clear cold night with a good bit of moonlight, you can walk the horses fairly safely though they are still quite tired from the day's ride.
Arian:And check to see if she's feeling skittish or well
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Great!
Simon N. (GM):Shirley is a bit skittish but seems pleased to see you. :) You begin heading back down the narrow valley.
Arian:Arian would like to be on high alert as we travel at night
Jelly:OOC ah my fave tune!
Xarius Jaunesse (Max):MY EARS
Greeba (Jelena):I have darkvision, but low PP
Arian:OOC Still no sound on mine. Sigh. But I'm getting it through the call. And I have Marley's atmospheric whines
Jelly:OOC awww Marley! I can't wait to see him again!! xxxx
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Loved the pic of Marley on FB. :-)
Arian:He's pretending he's a troll, I think. A hungry troll who wants pizza crust
Greeba (Jelena):OOC he was so cute on FB!
Jelly:OOC Kim have you got the messenger alert on? I remember Tony said that usually cancelled out the music for some reason?
Simon N. (GM):About 8 miles & 4 hours down the mountains later, you reach the main trail running west down to Hiddenglen and east over a saddle pass into Damara. A mining trail to the left leads up to William's Claim mine.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):That sounds where a dragon could be living?
Greeba (Jelena):Never mind now, we have to save our monk
Arian:Well, we want to take the shortest (but safest) route to the Priory
Gorlock (Tony):aye
Simon N. (GM):Keep heading east? It's not particularly safe or fast travelling at night & you'll take an Exhaustion level if you don't rest at some point.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Yes, better spend a few hours riding than half a day fighting and resting
Gorlock (Tony):agreed
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Let's find a safe campment place?
Trystan:Yes, the sooner we get to a warm, civilised place, the better!
Simon N. (GM):You
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Simon, do we see anything that looks like a good place to sleep for a couple fo hours?
Arian:Can I use Nature or Survival to look?
Simon N. (GM):are about 22 miles from D'Ashe Manor, could be there late morning and get a few hours sleep there hopefully. Or you can camp in the lee of some rocks for a chilly night.
Gorlock (Tony):manor
Trystan:D'Ashe Manor sounds far more suitable!
Arian:

SURVIVAL (4)
Gorlock (Tony):manor please
Greeba (Jelena):Everything seems to be pointing us to the mannor!
Simon N. (GM):Looks like staying up here in the cold is a death sentence!
Arian:"I don't like the feel of this place!"
Simon N. (GM):OK you head over the rocky bare saddle and down towards the forested eastern slopes.
Gorlock (Tony):thank god
Trystan:OOC Marley sounds like he's rapping!
Simon N. (GM):7 hours later as the sun is rising you and the horses (suffering 1 level of Exhaustion now) reach D'Ashe Manor/Festhall and are welcomed in.
Arian says a prayer of thanks to the Forest Father, for surely a diseased monk would be an easy meal for a dragon
Trystan:Ah, praise the gods! Wine and warmth at last!
Barbara D'Ashe:Lady D'Ashe invites you upstairs for breakfast. "How did your quest go?"
Greeba (Jelena):maybe somebody on site can heal Eamon... anyone suitably religious?
Arian:points to Eamon "Not well, I'm afraid."
Gorlock (Tony):Lady d'Ashe we are in need of a healer
Eamon (Bill):shivers
Gorlock (Tony):our friend is dying
Arian:"Needs must we get him to someone who can cure him, unless you have any potent elixirs on hand."
Gorlock (Tony):he has been poisoned
Barbara D'Ashe:"I'm afraid my Cleric is away at present."
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil)::-(
Barbara D'Ashe:"I don't think I can help you. You could try Prior Mordrin, or Abbess Mara."
Arian:"Then, we would like to take a quick rest and then we must be away. Which is closest?"
Wisteria of Skullspire:Well, it was worth asking........Myrkul's embrace is near.....we should leave again as soon as we are able.
Gorlock (Tony):We need to get some rest and then we must rush to the priory
Greeba (Jelena):Maybe we can borrow your spare horses and let ours rest?
Trystan:Trystan looks crest-fallen. He was hoping to stay for second breakfast, at least!
Gorlock (Tony):we need to rest as well
Simon N. (GM):Greeba roll Persuasion.
Greeba (Jelena):

PERSUASION (3)
Trystan:brb
Greeba (Jelena):My heart's not in it...
Simon N. (GM):You'll need 8 hours rest to dispel the Exhaustion level.
Greeba (Jelena):OK
Arian:We don't have time right now though, right?
Gorlock (Tony):how long can he last?
Greeba (Jelena):it was 36 hrs, so how far are we?
Gorlock (Tony):8 ish
Trystan:OOC I believe he loses 3d6 HP every 24 hours?
Barbara D'Ashe:"I'm sorry, the horses belong to Norrin and his Companions, not me. They can't be spared. But I can see your horses are rested and fed."
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I think we should push on through the exhaustion but it would be nice for our horses to be exchanged for fresh one. Lady d'Ashe, is ther e a suitable arrangement that would please you regarding the horses?
Barbara D'Ashe:His hp maximum goes down every 24 hours, he doesn't lose hp.
Gorlock (Tony):what's he at now?
Simon N. (GM):5/26, tonight it goes to 5/16, tomorrow night 5/6, after that he dies.
Gorlock (Tony):we have time to rest
Arian:But once he's cured, he gets his HP max back? Yes?
Simon N. (GM):yup
Trystan:Agreed, we'll have a better chance of saving him rested.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Fair enough.
Greeba (Jelena):OK, 8 hours rest it is. Would that be enough for our horses too?
Gorlock (Tony):Lady, we are in desperate need of rest, can you spare some space?
Simon N. (GM):"Of course" GM: OK you & the horses rest 8 hours (Trystan is too tired even for nookie!), the horses are ok to press on at a reasonable pace.
Trystan:Trystan puts on his winning smile
Gorlock (Tony):I can see the sparkle from here
Arian:"Next time, we hope to visit in better circumstances. Thank you, Lady D'Ashe."
Gorlock (Tony):Which way to the priory?
Simon N. (GM):"You are welcome." Lady D'Ashe directs you east to Egilmont, north to Blackraven & east from there to Moravin Priory,
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):"your help in this time of need will not be forgotten. Many thanks my Lady"
Xarius Jaunesse (Max):thank you my lady
Simon N. (GM):It's about 32 miles, best to push the horses fast in the remaining daylight then walk the rest of the way.
Gorlock (Tony):yep
Trystan:I will be sure to be of service as bard of your manor at any time, my Lady.
Arian:"You can do it, Shirley!"
Gorlock (Tony):stop calling me shirley
Simon N. (GM):Barbara smiles graciously at Xarius and at Trystan. "That would be lovely! I'm sure my Bard Syrus would love to compare notes."
Arian:looks askance at Gorlock
Gorlock (Tony):ooc - airlpane
Arian:OOC I know ;-)
Simon N. (GM):GM: You head east again...
Arian:"Surely, you jest, Warlock. I was but encouraging my horse."
Trystan:brb just heading to a warmer room
Gorlock (Tony):nearly summer...
Simon N. (GM):It's a lovely sunny afternoon and you make good time through more civilised lands.
Gorlock (Tony):follow the yellow brick roads
Greeba (Jelena):Excellent!
Gorlock (Tony):I paid for the pro plan, no 6s for you :)
Arian:OOC We're on a mission of mercy
Simon N. (GM):Friar Tooley escorts you to meet the Prior.
Trystan:OOC we got the black market patch, GM.
Gorlock (Tony)::)
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I suppose Eamon is visibly wearing his monk attire or did we have to cover him because of the disease?
Arian:carefully peels back sheet
Trystan:OOC yes good point, does he literally look like bits are falling off now?
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin: "Welcome all! Brother Eamon, you like quite the worse for wear!" (Eamon on 5/16)
Trystan:Is it a sort of extreme leprosy?
Arian:"Can you help him, please?"
Simon N. (GM):He's looking pretty rotted.
Trystan::-(
Greeba (Jelena):averts eyes
Trystan:Yes, please take a look! If even my cure-all cream couldn't help, it must be serious!
Greeba (Jelena):It was a curse of a mummy that did this to Eamon
Wisteria of Skullspire:Some sort of curse, I'm afraid Father. My healing skills are beyond this.
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin: "Mummy Rot - it won't respond to normal disease cures, for it is a magical curse. Fortunately I recently received a premonition from St Sollars, and prepared the Remove Curse spell - now I see why..."
Gorlock (Tony):indeed
Wisteria of Skullspire:Most fortunate!
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin puts a hand on Eamon's shoulder. "Be healed."
Arian:OOC I was expecting a choir of angels... ;-)
Simon N. (GM):Eamon's rotted look swiftly fades
Greeba (Jelena):Yay!
Gorlock (Tony):help me jesus
Tiffany, Angelic Sprite:"Well you have me Arian!" claps
Wisteria of Skullspire:I must agree, that was rather an anti-climax!
Greeba (Jelena):you mean sollars
Gorlock (Tony):indeed
Wisteria of Skullspire:Now, I think a glass of that excellent wine would go down well!
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Well, I am so glad he is cured! Thank you gentle Friars.
Arian:pats Tiff on the head
Tiffany, Angelic Sprite:OOC Bil was also sick today! Seems better now. I need to break 15 mins to get him some food. The Friars put you up comfortably for the night.
Gorlock (Tony):poor bill
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC awww poor Bill :-( Please give him love from all of us
Gorlock (Tony):tell him we didn't kill Eamon
Greeba (Jelena):OOC Get better soon, Bill!
Arian:Aw, poor Bill. Hugs to him. Tell him we saved him!
Gorlock (Tony):Jelly, you would have felt terrible...
Arian:OOC I wonder what the Friar's all think of Wisteria's armour ;-)
Gorlock (Tony)::)
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):There will be some serious self-flagellation tonight...
Gorlock (Tony):If Elia were along as well...
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC take advantage Tony? To poison someone??
Arian:OOC Oh Lordy, I don't think they could handle Elia
Gorlock (Tony):get poisons and antidotes
Arian:Did you guys ever read her backstory?
Wisteria of Skullspire:Lol it's true, I mean it's very humid in the south, where Wisteria is from!
Gorlock (Tony):no, where is it
Wisteria of Skullspire:I didn't, is it on Simon's blog?
Arian:Elia Chatzoudis.
Gorlock (Tony):ah
Arian:12/9/59: Elia approaches Wisteria in a private corner. "When I left my own world, it was having a pretty bad zombie apocalypse - I think it's dying. I don't think I can go back."
Arian:Elia's tale: she was travelling on the King's Road from Ravensburg, having a sense she needed to find someone (she now thinks that was Wisteria). She was staying overnight at the Sanguine Inn, where she first saw Velzz, and exchanged a few words with him. He or someone must have drugged her drink - she remembers going to bed, waking up blindfold in a dark cave or cellar, then being marched cross-country by three men, including Velzz, to Fort Skulnar. The other two - both human she thinks - then left. She had the impression Velzz was planning to sell her to someone very nasty, and needed her unharmed, aside from the mental anguish caused by his terrible poetry. She suspects the Sanguine Inn is running a kidnapping operation.
Gorlock (Tony):sweet
Greeba (Jelena):Terrible poetry, I remember now! A veritable vogon!
Arian:But she's since met Sirondar, so...
Gorlock (Tony):brb
Wisteria of Skullspire:Yes that story does sound super disturbing!
Arian:Probably should
Greeba (Jelena):Are we going back to the wizard tower now?
Arian:Arian wanders around the Garden of Peace looking for interesting plants
Gorlock (Tony):OOC, lips taste like bugspray, what causes that...other than bugspray
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC I have no idea I'm afraid!
Gorlock (Tony):back to the tower?
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC have you eaten anything recently?
Gorlock (Tony):pizza
Greeba (Jelena):OOC pesticides in wine?
Gorlock (Tony):yuck, hop enot
Wisteria of Skullspire:Hmmmm, the only one I know is pear-drop breath. That's a sign of ketosis (which can point to diabetes)
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):The second best thing about stopping a kidnapping ring is that they must have shitloads of money. If we can make them talk before we give them to the authorities, we could get some good money for our good causes.
Gorlock (Tony):hmmm, loot
Wisteria of Skullspire:That's a good point Thib!
Gorlock (Tony):I love loot
Arian:I wonder if any of the other rumours were near here
Wisteria of Skullspire:We can check with Simon when he comes back?
Arian:Yep! Arian wants to have a chat with Friar about his garden too -- maybe they'll have some plants for our plot... ;-)
Greeba (Jelena):Shall we go back to raid the tower, though? Oro do we need a long rest?
Wisteria of Skullspire:Is the moonfog hills near? There's a rumor about raiding giants and orcs?
Simon N. (GM):back
Wisteria of Skullspire:1. Dust Goblins from Feycircle Tor have been stealing livestock from Spurs' Edge.
Arian:Simon, Arian wants to have a brief word with Friar Tooley about the Garden of Peace ;-)
Simon N. (GM):Bill says thanks for the good wishes :)
Arian:Hope he feels better soon
Wisteria of Skullspire:Yes do hope he feels better soon!
Arian:waxes poetic to Friar Tooley about lemon verbena and asks if he has any interesting herbs
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Catnip!
Arian:Do we have a cat?
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Is there a catnip for Dragons, asks Thibault that is clearly clueless about them?
Simon N. (GM):Arian gets chatting with Friar Tooley about herbs. He points out some interesting ones in the garden they mostly use for healing potions.
Arian:"I would most appreciate an exchange, if you would allow me to take some clippings, Friar. I am just establishing a garden of my own."
Simon N. (GM):GM: You can load up on potion ingredients here but it would be polite to make a donation, ca half the usual cost (so 12.5gp for enough to make a healing potion)
Gorlock (Tony):we just did a long rest, right?
Arian:ok!
Simon N. (GM):No you just had an overnight rest, you can have 4 hp back
Gorlock (Tony):ah, sorry, wrong game
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I also ask The Father is he would like a donation for saving our friend from this dreadful disease?
Gorlock (Tony):indeed
Simon N. (GM):If you're going to LR suggest you go back to the fort
Arian:I'm at full and have all but one spell, so I'm ok
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin smiles: "Donations are always welcome!"
Trystan:Trystan will strum his lute in the garden, a song to honour the healing of Eamon.
Gorlock (Tony):how much is fair guys?
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):50 to 100GP?
Wisteria of Skullspire:I believe a few GP, at least! 5 or 10 each perhaps?
Gorlock (Tony):10 each?
Wisteria of Skullspire:That sounds a suitable donation to me.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I think we should take that from the group treasury
Gorlock (Tony):I can't find the loot from last time..
Greeba (Jelena):It was 750 gp total, I believe
Gorlock (Tony):7 ways?
Arian:Yep. We haven't split that yet
Simon N. (GM):Thibault is right, spell level squared x10 is typical, or 90gp (unless you are too poor to afford it)
Arian:Let's take it out of the 750
Gorlock (Tony):90 from the treasury then
Greeba (Jelena):OK
Gorlock (Tony):ok, out of the llot
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin smiles: "Most kind of you."
Arian:We're 8 right now, so everyone take 82.5
Gorlock (Tony):94GP 2SP, 9 CP each is what's left
Simon N. (GM):He looks thoughtful. "If you are looking for something to do, I recently heard a dark rumour from across the border, in Ostel..."
Gorlock (Tony):8, soory did 7
Arian:"A dark rumour?"
Gorlock (Tony):hmmm
Simon N. (GM):"Yes, from Karvolia. The local priestess-ruler Sister Alkava has been demanding a blood tribute from among the peasantry, to be chosen by lot. Supposedly the youths will return 'unharmed', but I fear the worst. The Church in Ostel has always been ...different."
Wisteria of Skullspire:brb
Arian:"I don't like the sound of that -- a blood tribute?"
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):"Sounds absolutely immoral and evil"
Wisteria of Skullspire:Hmmm, the Church in Ostel...
Greeba (Jelena):"Really? We shed a lot of blood"
Wisteria of Skullspire:Wisteria will do a religion check please Simon to find out more?
Simon N. (GM):"If you were to make enquiries, please be discrete. Our Duchess cannot afford a diplomatic incident with Ostel."
Gorlock (Tony):understood
Arian:"We do, Greeba, but wouldn't you agree it's generally in a very final way? I am certain the youth tribute does not want to contribute in such a final way..."
Wisteria of Skullspire:Sending youths to Myrkul to please another god is massive sacrilege. We should investigate!
Simon N. (GM):GM: Wisteria you recall rumours that the cult of Loviatar, the dark shadow of Ilmatar, is still powerful in Ostel. Many still see Loviatar & Ilmatar as two sides of the same dual deity.
Arian:OOC What is Greeba's deity, by the way?
Greeba (Jelena):"I meant our own too, and there's nothing wrong with us, is there?"
Gorlock (Tony):Shall we be off to Ostel
Simon N. (GM):Ilmatar is god of suffering and endurance, Loviatar the goddess of pain and blood, but their portfolios can intertwine.
Greeba (Jelena):Just feels the rage!
Simon N. (GM):https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Ilmater
Arian:"It sounds a worthy cause to me. And, I suppose Eamon still needs to convalesce."
Wisteria of Skullspire:If this blood sacrifice is going on, it is a huge insult to me as a fingerbone of Myrkul. I cannot stand idly by.
Arian:"Will we be able to leave him in your care?"
Simon N. (GM):"Certainly. He should be able to return home in a few days."
Gorlock (Tony):off we go
Arian:"We thank you for your kindness."
Wisteria of Skullspire:And the always delicious wine!
Arian:Wisteria has her priorities ;-)
Wisteria of Skullspire:Of course :-)
Simon N. (GM):GM: Mordrin bids you farewell. Travelling eastwards, a long day's ride brings you across the Duchy of Carmathan to Ostel and the small town of Karvolia, huddled beneath imposing cliffs atop which stands a huge and grim edifice - the Red Mausoleum.
Gorlock (Tony):Ostel is far north east
Simon N. (GM):A few enquiries brings you to a local tavern. The back room of the Bleeding Crow Tavern smells of stale beer and old smoke. Lanterns hung at intervals along the walls provide muddy illumination, as there are no windows to let in either light or fresh air. Three ancient villagers study you from across a large wooden table—two men nursing tankards of ale and a woman who occasionally sips from a goblet of wine.
Wisteria of Skullspire:sigh no more delicious wine for a while, I can see........
Arian:OOC Perhaps someone charismatic could buy a round for them...
Trystan:You called?
Gorlock (Tony):Good folks, fancy a pint
Trystan:My dear fellows, who in this tavern would like to hear a rousing song of adventure!
Gorlock (Tony):OOC - Kim sounds like the pub from our movies recently
Greeba (Jelena):"I'll have an ale too, thanks"
Gorlock (Tony):aye
Simon N. (GM):Trystan gives a rousing performance. "Welcome - I'm Tanner Grim." "I'm Olan Forn, owner of this tavern." "And I'm Lady Bestin... Would you be the adventurers we sent for?"
Gorlock (Tony):drinks for our party and these fine folks
Arian:
15
Brewer's Supplies (2+0+2)
Simon N. (GM):Olan serves you all drinks, Arian picks out the good stuff.
Gorlock (Tony):What kind of adventuring did you have in mind
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I'll have what she's having! ;-)
Gorlock (Tony):there goes the coin
Arian:"If you're going to drink, you might as well drink the best!"
Gorlock (Tony):pappy van winkle around
Wisteria of Skullspire:I'm in great debt to your elven sensibilities, Arian! Myrkul knows what pigs' swill I'd be drinking, otherwise!
Simon N. (GM):"Our children have been taken! The first twelve a week ago - none returned. Then the red priestess demanded twelve more, chosen by lot. They were taken up there just today."
Arian:stands, aghast
Gorlock (Tony):Indeed you will
Arian:"This is worse than what we heard."
Gorlock (Tony):we will
Greeba (Jelena):"They haven't come back...?"
Arian:"What can you tell us of the red priestess?"
Simon N. (GM):They shake their heads. Bestin: "Save our young men and women and we will reward you, as we can."
Wisteria of Skullspire:Appalling! This red priestess shall answer to Myrkul, never fear!
Greeba (Jelena):"Where is this red priestess?"
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):"The reward will be in destroying that evil cult! and their terrible practices!"
Gorlock (Tony):We will rescue your children and end this blight
Greeba (Jelena):".. and in money, Thibault!"
Gorlock (Tony):The red mausoleum?
Simon N. (GM):"Her name is Sister Alkava. She is a senior priestess of the Church, and a favourite of the Baroness. She has required blood before, as part of her rites, but this time the tribute did not return."
Greeba (Jelena):"... or jewels..."
Wisteria of Skullspire:Certainly not in wine :-)
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):(smiles at Greeba!)
Arian:OOC Thib is too pure for this world
Simon N. (GM):"She took them to the Red Mausoleum, up there on the cliffs."
Arian:"Is she human? Elf? Something else?"
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Looks like she is getting more powerful and her tributes are more... higher stakes.
Arian:"Does she have followers who assist her?"
Greeba (Jelena):"Can we speak to anyone who has returned from the rites in the past?"
Simon N. (GM):"She has ...things... that serve her, yes. She may be human, but they are not."
Arian:"Has she ever shown any weakness? A taste for wine, even?"
Simon N. (GM):They shrug at Arian's question. "She never comes down here."
Gorlock (Tony):can anyone determine what the things are from the description?
Arian:Nature check?
Wisteria of Skullspire:Some sort of abominations or constructs, I am sure. I have heard whispers of such things occurring among the more outlandish cults.........
Simon N. (GM):They describe what sounds like undead, as well as a bugbear. ok Wisteria
Wisteria of Skullspire:
20 + 4
RELIGION (4)
Gorlock (Tony):Time for the cleric to shine...and then that
Simon N. (GM):Sounds like skeletons and a zombie ogre
Gorlock (Tony):zombie ogre...
Wisteria of Skullspire:Undead filth!!!!!!!! Worse and worse!
Gorlock (Tony):doesn't sound fun
Arian:"Sounds like something that needs to be removed from this world."
Gorlock (Tony):I love the sell of zombie in the morning
Greeba (Jelena):OOC zombie ogre killed my first ever PC!
Gorlock (Tony):smell
Simon N. (GM):And something made of iron you don't recognise, some kind of construct perhaps.
Wisteria of Skullspire:Ugh, I need another glass of wine, however disappointing it is!
Gorlock (Tony):yikes, how do we kill that?
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC wow I called it! I haven't read the adventure Simon, I swear!
Gorlock (Tony):who has water
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC just too many years gaming lol
Simon N. (GM):GM: The elders summon three youths who were called to give blood previously. They describe an entry hall and steps up to a central vault where they were hooked up to tubes that drained blood from them.
Gorlock (Tony):yuck
Arian:OOC Arian has heat metal now!
Greeba (Jelena):"Eeew"
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC sounds like the NHS blood donation service!
Greeba (Jelena):OOC or Mad Max!
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC lol true!
Simon N. (GM):Olan Forn: "My son is among those taken there this morn..."
Gorlock (Tony):Is there a way in perhaps?
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):"Do not worry Sir Olan. We will do anything we can to find your son".
Arian:"Do any go in and out there freely? Delivery people, perhaps? Or robed figures?"
Gorlock (Tony):OOC - hand sanitiser, on my lips
Simon N. (GM):Bestin: "And my niece, Mirna!"
Gorlock (Tony):just figured it out
Wisteria of Skullspire:Hmmmm, that is a good idea. I wonder if I can pass our group off as tribute and pretend to be a priestess from the same cult?
Gorlock (Tony):Mirna?
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC phew, at least that solves the mystery!
Arian:"We shall bring them all back." Arian bows solemnly
Gorlock (Tony):good plan Wisteria
Simon N. (GM):GM: They explain the layout - Sister Alkava has a small villa beside the Mausoleum.
Arian:"The manor looks such a normal place, for such foul goings on."
Simon N. (GM):A narrow track winds up the cliffs from the town below.
Wisteria of Skullspire:Hiding in plain sight, I am sure.....
Greeba (Jelena):Straight to the mausoleum, then?
Gorlock (Tony):As tributes
Wisteria of Skullspire:I don't suppose there's a spare red cloak around anywhere?
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):But we are not very young enough to be blood donors. It seems she is interested by youth only, right?
Simon N. (GM):Tanner: "Watch out for the stony Goblin - it seems smarter than her other servants."
Arian:We did take those toad cloaks, didn't we? 3 I think
Wisteria of Skullspire:No matter, I can still pay trbute as a priestess of Myrkul, I believe.
Gorlock (Tony):salves it is
Simon N. (GM):The Path to the Blood Vaults.
Gorlock (Tony):Trystan has the salves
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):We also need to conceal our weapons and be able to v=bring them inside the temple.
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC guys I reckon it's better if Wisteria is just herself, it will sound more convincing than trying to be from a cult she knows little about.
Gorlock (Tony):agreed
Arian:Ok with me
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):agreed
Gorlock (Tony):the terrain looks tretcherous
Arian:OOC though I suspect it'll come to the whole "kill 'em all and let Myrkul sort it out later"
Wisteria of Skullspire:Ha! Very likely!
Gorlock (Tony):yep
Greeba (Jelena):LOL
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):We still need a plan of approach: where are our weapns and how do we keep them handy in case the shit hits the fan?
Simon N. (GM):GM: OK so you put on cloaks and conceal your weapons before heading up the trail.
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC what was the name of that goddess again? Loviatar? The willing whip?
Gorlock (Tony):somehow this feels like the 300
Arian:whispers "Let us enter this foul place and cleanse it..."
Simon N. (GM):yes
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC I keep thinking of walnut whips :-)
Arian:"Cool whip"
Gorlock (Tony):ha
Simon N. (GM):The cobblestone path leads up to a massive set of stone doors set into the walls of a massive stone structure. Gothic flourishes decorate the walls.
Gorlock (Tony):https://gfycat.com/pointlesssimpleeagle
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil)::-)
Greeba (Jelena):We're not riding...
Wisteria of Skullspire:I must say, they do know how to decorate. Could do with a few more skulls, but....I'm impressed!
Simon N. (GM):From what you were told the youths were taken into the Mausoleum. If you are approaching you can move your tokens forward up to 12 squares
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):More skulls and ... more spires? ;-)
Gorlock (Tony):OOC - Wrong one, mean this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZmqJQ-nc_s
Wisteria of Skullspire:Had we better tie a pretend rope around everyone (as in it looks like you're tied but are secretly just holidng it?)
Gorlock (Tony):do we search the house first?
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):We need Wisteria to lead us...
Gorlock (Tony):yep
Wisteria of Skullspire:Or everyone at least look like their two front hands are tied, please. And heads bowed.
Gorlock (Tony):hide tiff
Simon N. (GM):Thibault & Greeba you see a huge ogre zombie guarding the doors.
Wisteria of Skullspire:If you go in a crocodile (line of twos)
Simon N. (GM):At the sight of you it steps forward and roars, waving its club at you.
Arian:Of teh masoleum?
Simon N. (GM):Yes, the small villa seems dark and deserted.
Wisteria of Skullspire:Halt! I am come with tribute for the Willing Whip!
Simon N. (GM):The Ogre Zombie isn't attacking, but it continues to make threatening gestures.
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC Thib and Greeba can you move up please in to the line?
Greeba (Jelena):Which line? I thought we were going to the mausoleum
Gorlock (Tony):Zombie
Wisteria of Skullspire:Oh sorry I got them mixed up.
Gorlock (Tony):arg
Wisteria of Skullspire:To the ogre: Where is your mistress, the Red Priestess?
Simon N. (GM):"GRRR!" waves club
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I can translate in Orc and Undercommon if necessary...
Wisteria of Skullspire:sigh
Arian:I speak giant, but I don't imagine that helps
Wisteria of Skullspire:bloody crazy cults under her breath
Gorlock (Tony):OOC - I see C3PO
Simon N. (GM):It doesn't seem intelligent enough to converse with.
Gorlock (Tony):A little closer then
Arian:whispers who leaves someone to greet you that can't even talk?
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I guess there is a language he should be able to grasp...
Arian:whispers I don't think they like guests...
Gorlock (Tony):someone who doesn't want to talk
Wisteria of Skullspire:Under breath: I wonder if we should try the manor house?
Greeba (Jelena):"the language of pain?"
Gorlock (Tony):fire
Wisteria of Skullspire:The stone golem is apparently more intelligent?
Simon N. (GM):GM: They said stone goblin
Arian:whispers you want Xarius to blast him? So, our subterfuge is over?
Greeba (Jelena):OOC yes, maybe there is a secret passage from the manor to the mausoleum
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC oops sorry goblin"
Gorlock (Tony):Kim can you get max to pay attention
Arian:he's there
Xarius:yeah
Wisteria of Skullspire:Once all are assembled, Wisteria will move up to the manor door and knock.
Gorlock (Tony):knock knock
Simon N. (GM):No answer comes - the manor seems deserted.
Wisteria of Skullspire:And the door is locked?
Simon N. (GM):The ogre zombie watches you, club lowered now.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):"Would you like to hear the message of our lord Mirkul?"
Greeba (Jelena):is the door unlocked?
Arian:Did the ogre do anything?
Wisteria of Skullspire:LOL
Simon N. (GM):You try the door - it's locked tight.
Gorlock (Tony):Can I shoot the zombie, please
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Go on!
Wisteria of Skullspire:Under breath: I think we should try to break in and see what we can find before facing that zombie head on.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Yes
Gorlock (Tony):ok
Wisteria of Skullspire:It doesn't seem to move past its alloted space to guard.
Gorlock (Tony):why is he moving back?
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Anybody fancy trying to unlock the door or shall we "release the Greeba?"
Arian:"'Tis a pity none of us are good with thieve's tools..."
Greeba (Jelena):lifting warhammer
Wisteria of Skullspire:Even heading round hte back of the manor to the mausoleum to find another entrance might work, out of sight of the zombie?
Trystan:I have just such a spell to scout around as well...........
Tiffany, Angelic Sprite:"Me too!"
Greeba (Jelena):"Ah, alright then" lowers weapon
Trystan:OOC but up to you guys what you'd like to do?
Gorlock (Tony):if the zombie can't move, can we just shoot it to death
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Simon, I will try to "Divine Sense" any traces of Evil in the Manor, please?
Gorlock (Tony):killl, killl
Wisteria of Skullspire:We could, but it may run to warn its mistress, and then our disguise is blown.
Gorlock (Tony):true
Tiffany, Angelic Sprite:Thibault you sense the zombie is undead, and general evil from the Mausoleum. Nothing from the manor.
Wisteria of Skullspire:I'm not sure she'd take kindly to her minions being slaughtered, although it's truly tempting, I agree.
Trystan:As always, I definitely advocate sneaking round the back of the main building!
Gorlock (Tony):ok
Greeba (Jelena):Go on!
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Agree with Trystan. Let see what we can do around.
Arian:Didn't Tiff take a look?
Tiffany, Angelic Sprite:"I'll go too!" goes invisible
Trystan:Yes, if the little sprite could go on ahead and see if there's antoher way in...........
Simon N. (GM):GM: The walls of the vast mausoleum are carved with many gargoyles. To the rear heavy undergrowth looks to make progress difficult.
Gorlock (Tony):Take a look tiff
Wisteria of Skullspire:No access through the windows perhaps?
Tiffany, Angelic Sprite:After a few minutes you hear Tiff's voice again. "I went all the way round! I didn't see any other way in!"
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I keep the Ogre distracted by making faces at him!
Arian:"Then the front it is."
Gorlock (Tony):Kiil the wabbit
Tiffany, Angelic Sprite:"No windows or anything! It's like a mausoleum!"
Wisteria of Skullspire:Alright. Let's try to break into the Manor, that's the ogre's last chance!
Gorlock (Tony):hence the name :)
Tiffany, Angelic Sprite:reappears "And it made me feel yucky!"
Wisteria of Skullspire:Greeba, would you do the honours, please?
Tiffany, Angelic Sprite:smiles "Thanks Wisteria!"

Wisteria of Skullspire:Ha! A solid blow, well done!
Simon N. (GM):A single blow of Greeba's warhammer smashes the lock and opens the manor door.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Checking the Ogre to see if he has a fit of intelligence?
Wisteria of Skullspire:LOL
Simon N. (GM):The Ogre just stands there glaring at you as you break the door
Greeba (Jelena):that was (suspiciously) easy
Wisteria of Skullspire:brb
Simon N. (GM):Inside. the manor is very sparsely furnished, there is a nearly empty kitchen and a single bed upstairs. It does not look like anyone spent much time here.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Do we have some spell to block or ward the entrance once we are in the manor?
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC like some abandoned Airbnb!
Greeba (Jelena):LOL!
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Close to blood amenities.
Arian:"Let us approach the masoleum and see what the ogre does. The world will not mourn his passing. Er, again."
Simon N. (GM):You find no secret doors. By the bed you find a desk with some sheafs of parchment with strange writing.
Wisteria of Skullspire:Well, I gave the poor beast all the chances I could. Come then, let us send him to Myrkul, where he can be put to better use.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):It;s scholar's time!
Arian:Can I decipher the parchment?
Wisteria of Skullspire:Strange writing......do any of us recongnise it?
Greeba (Jelena):CAn anyone read the writing?
Arian:I speak Celestial, Druidic, Dwarvish, Elvish, Giant
Gorlock (Tony):maybe
Simon N. (GM):You can roll Investigation re the writing
Wisteria of Skullspire:OOC guys I totally forgot Wisteria has Turn Undead! We could just make him run away and still try our original plan.
Arian:

Gorlock (Tony):switched spells
Greeba (Jelena):Oooh, excellent!
Arian:"Hmmm, it looks passing strange."
Gorlock (Tony):great idea
Wisteria of Skullspire:I think it's worth a try. If we can get in without fighting tooth and nail, so much the better.
Arian:HEY, I think ogre zombies can understand Giant. But not speak.
Simon N. (GM):Arian has no idea re the writing.
Arian:holds parchment upside down
Wisteria of Skullspire:Yes Arian, good idea, we can try that and if still no response I shall use Turn Undead.
Arian:"What would you have me say?"
Wisteria of Skullspire:If you could explain that I bring tribute to the Mistress of Pain.
Gorlock (Tony):Coomon, elvish, dwravish and halfling
Arian:Okay.
Gorlock (Tony):cant type
Simon N. (GM):None of you recognise the writing
Wisteria of Skullspire:Ok. let's get in line agian.
Arian:I call over to the ogre zombie in giant "This cleric brings tribute to the Mistress of Pain. Let us through!"
Gorlock (Tony):used to have comprehend languages...

Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):What else? We kill it so that he doesn't wait for us at the exit when we'll be tired?
Gorlock (Tony):Greeba?
Wisteria of Skullspire:I would say keep moving up until it attacks.
Simon N. (GM):#Greeba #Gorlock #Xarius
Greeba (Jelena):Do we have to follow the path?
Arian:Looks like a cliff?
Wisteria of Skullspire:No we don't, I'd say get as close to entrance as you can without engaging it.
Simon N. (GM):There's open ground at the top of the cliff
Greeba (Jelena):Can I go there?
Xarius:hello
Simon N. (GM):Well there's 1 square rough ground (+5')
Gorlock (Tony):wait
Xarius:what would be my preferable move
Gorlock (Tony):wait
Xarius:ok
Wisteria of Skullspire:If I manage to turn the ogre we have one minute to get inside, which is basically one round.
Arian:You could ready a fire bolt, I suppose
Simon N. (GM):1 minute is 10 rounds
Wisteria of Skullspire:Oh sorry Simon! plenty of time then!
Greeba (Jelena):readying weapon
Wisteria of Skullspire:Ha! So it's not as stupid as it looks!
Gorlock (Tony):what about Gorlock and Xarius
Wisteria of Skullspire:(OOC shouldn't have told GM our plan)
Gorlock (Tony):I'm lost
Simon N. (GM):The ogre gets tired of waiting, moves back to the door (out of sight of those below) and readies its club.
Gorlock (Tony):what about gorlock and xarius, we were skipped
Simon N. (GM):I asked for your turns twice
Gorlock (Tony):it was greebas turn
Arian:I think we had a Roll20 hiccup
Simon N. (GM):OK all of you do your turns then it's the ogre

Gorlock (Tony):bye bye
Wisteria of Skullspire:*Wisteria is secretly happy, she was growing strangely fond of the idiot.
Simon N. (GM):As Wisteria is a Myrkul priestess, rather than scream and run it steps back from the trail and bows, acknowledging Myrkul's dominion over the dead.
Wisteria of Skullspire:Excellent, even better!
Simon N. (GM):GM: It's currently safe
Wisteria of Skullspire:Ok, places everyone please, Wisteria whispers.

Wisteria of Skullspire:Wisteria will slowly and reverently push open the mausoluem doors if possible.
Arian:Greeba in back?
Greeba (Jelena):I'll be next to Thib, swap with Trystan
