FA#5 Day 3 (to 2pm) T2/M5/1359 - 72 XP - Into the Dungeon (Sergor 30 XP)

Guarding prisoners in Bandit Tower: Tenho, Sergor. 
Exploring caves, at cave pool: Dawn, Lothrin, Percy, Syrus, Erasmus 


Syrus (Kenny):@Tim excited to hear how it all goes - the boys will have such a Great time, so will you! :)
@Team: did we establish whether there is a basement in this tower?
And did we check what are in the barrels next to the carpet?
Simon N. (GM):GM: No basement in this tower. The barrels hold specialty strong ales from the Finnris Brewery, Ravensburg.
Syrus (Kenny):@GM do we know if Jake will be joining us tonight?
Simon N. (GM):Kirla: "Found those on that wagon I told you about..."
Syrus (Kenny):@Lothrin: When it is time to move, Brother will you help me to carry this carpet back? I think it is worth a good bit of money!
Simon N. (GM):OOC Just checked - Jake didn't respond to my request to change the day. Guessing prob won't play.
Lothrin pitched the dead bandits down the hole last night, they smothered the fire below and make a rather horrible corpse pile.
7am: You arise and breakfast. Lothrin nods to Syrus. "Aye."
Erasmus:Erasmus spends the first 10 minutes after waking deep in meditation. Once he finishes, he packs his gear and joins the group.
Syrus (Kenny):@Team - what shall we do - I am still out of spells :-P
Simon N. (GM):Tenho: "So, we shall take these brigands to Fulscarp,hand them over to Lady Aryn?"
Tenho looks to Syrus: "I'm sure the Hag has some spell scrolls she can trade you."
Erasmus:"Morning. That would be good, but we have not yet found our quarry."
@GM how far away was Arethea's tower?
Bit under 6 miles, 2 hours on the trail.
Erasmus:@GM and did any of us notice any comings and goings from the keep overnight?
Simon N. (GM):No, although with your human eyesight that's not too surprising. The bandit sentry Gall didn't notice anything either. :)
Syrus (Kenny):@Team - OK shall we make a move to Aretha's place? Or back to the inn? Can anyone take any ale with them - shame to waste the good stuff!
@Percy - what do you think?
Simon N. (GM):Lothrin: "Cumin would also pay a bounty for these brigands, I've heard - Cumin Tor is 16 miles north, near the King's Road."
Tenho: "But Fulscarp is only 10 miles, and the Hag's Tor is on the way."
Percy (Christian):i understand that you need to regain spells but in one week it is very possible that the people we intended to rescue will be dead
Erasmus:"Back to Aretha's to see if she can do anything about Syrus's spells, then back here to at least check on the Innkeeper?"
Simon N. (GM):GM: You could roll beer barrels down the road but they might not survive the journey & v slow. Really you need a wagon I'd say.
Dawn nods: "I agree with Erasmus."
Syrus (Kenny):OK, then I suggest we go see Aretha shudders then onto Fulscarp?
Simon N. (GM):Lothrin: "Hm, then some of us should stay here to guard the prisoners - and this tower."
Erasmus:"Agreed"
Syrus (Kenny):@Dawn - M'Lady, would you come join us?
Percy (Christian):"it is probably worth going to aretha's but i don't think there is any point going back to fulscarp unless we intend stay there"
Simon N. (GM):Dawn: "I vote just see the Hag then right back here. If there is any hope of rescue, we must be quick." Lothrin nods.
Percy (Christian):"i agrre"
Syrus (Kenny):Then let's go!
Simon N. (GM):Dawn nods to Syrus, smiling. "I've never seen a Hag before!"
Erasmus:"Who's atying, and who's going?
Syrus (Kenny):@Dawn - do you have a transformation spell that can transform me into someone else?
Simon N. (GM):GM: Dawn Erasmus & Syrus are going. Sergor?
Percy (Christian):"sergor can stay and possibly either lothrin or tenho"
Simon N. (GM):Dawn: "I only have Sleep..."
Percy (Christian):"i will come"
Simon N. (GM):Tenho: "I think I'll stay." Lothrin: "I'll stay." Sergor: "Me too."
Erasmus:To Lothrin & Tenho: "Keep an eye on Sergor. I don't want him getting... twitchy."
Simon N. (GM):GM: The party head outside...
Percy (Christian):"that setles it then, we best be going"
Syrus (Kenny):@Erasmus do you still have the bandit queen's sword?
Erasmus:"Aye"
Syrus (Kenny):Great!
Percy (Christian) inspects the statue in the centre
Simon N. (GM):GM: At the front door you notice fresh small tracks, and there are fresh scratches on the mouldy wood of the door.
The statue is of a dragon-like beast, now covered in moss.
Erasmus:Which way are the tracks going?
Syrus (Kenny):@GM can I check the tracks?
Simon N. (GM):Percy can roll Nature. If checking tracks roll Survival.
Erasmus:
Erasmus Bos
Survival(+4){23}
Percy (Christian):
skill check
Nature 5
Kenny - Syrus:
Syrus, Bard of Many Guises
Survival(+1){2}
Simon N. (GM):Looks like a half dozen goblin tracks to Erasmus. They go from Keep to Tower then back. Looks like they were trying to get the door open!
Percy doesn't recognise the dragon beast.
Erasmus:Ah, so the tracks were to the tower door, not the gatehouse?
Simon N. (GM):Looks like, yes. No fresh tracks through the gatehouse.
Erasmus:OK.
"Doesn't look like any of the goblins left during the night."
Simon N. (GM):You head south to Hag's Tower?
Percy (Christian):yes
Erasmus:"We will deal with the green ones when we return."
Syrus (Kenny):Shudders at the thought of the hag
Simon N. (GM):GM: You head through the trees to the road and hike south & west round Skul Peak. Two hours later...
You approach the Jagged Tower of the Hag, Aretha.
Syrus (Kenny):@GM is there any singing?
Simon N. (GM):Reaching the ruins, you hear singing as you look through the broken walls and see Aretha, cooking a large rat over a fire.
"Fallen, fallen are the mighty rats...."
Erasmus:"Mother? May we approach, mother?"
Simon N. (GM):"Their whiskers clipped, their throats are red!"
(you can move your minis up).
Aretha looks up and cackles merrily, waving you forward.
Dawn: "gulp"
Dawn reaches out to take Syrus' hand for comfort as Aretha grins broadly. "Welcome! Welcome back!"
Erasmus:"Greetings, mother. We have returned from Skulnar."
Simon N. (GM):Aretha's boar appears behind Dawn and snuffles. She whimpers and scoots forward.
Syrus (Kenny):@Dawn (whispers) be watchful...!
Simon N. (GM):"Good, good! And did you kill the ghost with my magic sword?"
Dawn nods to Syrus
Syrus (Kenny):@Aretha - M'lady Aretha, we have yet to encounter the ghost - did you have any trouble with the Bandit Queen in the past?
Erasmus:"No ghosts yet, I'm afraid. We had a run in with some bandits and we are a little weakened."
Simon N. (GM):Aretha leers at Syrus. "My pretty one! I see you have another pretty!" Dawn whimpers again.
Syrus (Kenny):@Aretha: We made a new friend who is helping us on our quest for peace
Simon N. (GM):Aretha: "Well you're in luck - just brewed up a fresh cauldron of healing juice! As if I knew you were coming!" she giggles.
Hi Jake!
Syrus (Kenny):OOC Hi Jake!
Christian L.:Hello jake
Simon N. (GM):We can say Sergor decided to go to Aretha's Tower too?
Jake C.:I am terribly sorry, something came up at work, and it took a bit longer to close up.
yeah, we can
Syrus (Kenny):@Aretha your sword did provide us with much needed light on our journey
Simon N. (GM):Aretha steps forward, leering up at Syrus. "You'll soon be needing one of my lust potions, eh? Very popular brew!"
Syrus (Kenny):And if we knew rats were an incredible part of the healing potion, then we would have come bearing gifts of giant rats for you!
Erasmus:"Healing potions will be useful. Right now, though, Syrus is low on spells. We are pressed for time and cannot delay a week to enable him to recover. Is there anything you could do to assist?"
Simon N. (GM):Sergor arrives :)
Aretha nods. "Oh yes! I have scrolls! But what have you to trade?"
Sergor (Jake):Lazily strolls up to the group, having taken his time on the way.
Percy (Christian):"we have presents in return for your commodities" Percy hands her a small bag of incense
Syrus (Kenny):@Aretha - how do you feel about the Bandit Queen?
Simon N. (GM):Aretha sniffs it. "Nice!" She looks to Syrus. "Everybody comes to Aretha. Everybody dies. She did both."
Syrus (Kenny):...Would her sword be a useful trade to you?
Simon N. (GM):Aretha pockets the incense. "Present for my pretty!" She hands Syrus a scroll made of some strange knobbily hide.
Syrus roll Persuasion
Syrus (Kenny):(Whispers to Percy) Thank You again, friend
Kenny - Syrus:
Syrus, Bard of Many Guises
Persuasion(+3){21}
Simon N. (GM):"Mm, yes! Memento Mori! A second scroll for you!"
She passes Syrus a second scroll.
"I only have one more you can use. What can you give me?"
Erasmus:"I have a potion here, too. Will this be a worthy trade?
Syrus (Kenny):bows to Aretha "Thank You M'Lady"
Simon N. (GM):GM: which potion?
Erasmus:*Perfume
Simon N. (GM):Aretha: "Ah yes, one of mine! Trade two of those for one healing."
Erasmus:"Done"
Syrus (Kenny):How about this beautiful earring shows the one traded with Dawn
Erasmus:I hand over the two perfumes and, begrudgingly, the greatsword
Simon N. (GM):Aretha scoops a flask of green heal potion from her cauldron and gives it to Erasmus, taking the 2 perfume.
Syrus (Kenny):@Erasmus "Thank You. friend"
Simon N. (GM):Aretha cackles as she hangs the sword on her wall.
Syrus roll Persuasion
Percy (Christian):"aretha may i ask what the scrolls do which you have handed syrus"
Kenny - Syrus:
Syrus, Bard of Many Guises
Persuasion(+3){11}
Simon N. (GM):Aretha: "That ear ring and another nice thing for my last scroll!"
Erasmus:@GM what potion is it? standard healing?
Simon N. (GM):yes
Syrus (Kenny):@GM and the 3x scrolls?
Simon N. (GM):You don't know yet Syrus
Syrus (Kenny):OOC :-P
Percy (Christian):"aretha may i ask what the scrolls do which you have handed syrus"
Simon N. (GM):"Healing Word, Sleep... My last is called Thunderwave. Very powerful!"
Erasmus:"Do you have any additional healing potions, perchance?"
Simon N. (GM):"I have a whole cauldron of healing potion! How many do you want?"
Erasmus:"Sergor, do you have anything to trade for potions? Or are we spending gold?"
Simon N. (GM):Aretha: "I like gold. Buys me pretty sweetmeats... like you, Dawn Wintersmorn!" She cackles uproariously as Dawn goes pale.
Aretha: "Don't worry! Aretha won't eat you - not today! he he he!"
Syrus (Kenny):@Aretha: M'Lady, I have this scroll, Tenser's Floating Disk - would you be interested in trading it for healing potions?
Percy (Christian):"or another scroll"
Simon N. (GM):Aretha: "I tell you what, Syrus my pretty - give me a kiss, and promise me you'll bring me back the sword after you kill the ghost with it, and I'll give you the last scroll!"
Syrus (Kenny):Nervously looks at rest of the team :-O
Simon N. (GM):"And for the ear ring and your scroll, I'll give you a healing potion. Very generous, old Aretha is!"
Percy (Christian):Percy giggles under his breathe
Syrus (Kenny):takes a deep breathe, and tries to rattle his brain for a song of courage
Sergor (Jake):Roots through his bag, before turning to Erasmus: "I don't have anything she might want."
Syrus (Kenny):@Aretha - Lady Aretha, you have been most generous to us...
"And I did promise you a kiss from our last visit, so I here it is" Syrus leans forward awkwardly to plant a kiss on the hag's face...
Erasmus:"We have gold, though. I think an extra potion or two couldn't hurt."
"Aretha, how much gold would a potion set us back?"
Simon N. (GM):Aretha grabs Syrus in iron-hard grip and plants a swampy kiss firmly on his lips.
Aretha: "mmmmm"
Syrus (Kenny):Syrus defining feels like he needs a shower now
Simon N. (GM):Aretha finally releases Syrus. "50 gold a potion!"
"And you must promise me, Syrus! Promise me now!"
She sounds quite urgent.
Syrus (Kenny):@Aretha - to return the sword after slaying the Ghost?
Simon N. (GM):"Promise to kill the ghost and bring me back the blade!"
Syrus (Kenny):"I will give you my word of promise - to aid us in this endeavour, is there additional properties you can add to the blade?"
Simon N. (GM):"Don't push your luck, dearie!"
Aretha follows Syrus round and round the fire. :)
Syrus (Kenny):Whispers to others "Think its time we go..."
Simon N. (GM):"Promise now! Or no scroll for you!"
Erasmus:To Sergor, Percy and Dawn: "I have some gold, but not enough for a potion. If we pool our resources, how many can we get?"
Simon N. (GM):"Say it!"
Syrus (Kenny):"I promise you I will bring back the sword after we have slayed the ghost"
Sergor (Jake):to erasmus "I've got thirty-four gold."
Syrus (Kenny):@Erasmus I can contribute towards the potion
Simon N. (GM):Dawn: "I have 10..."
Percy (Christian):"i think we have enough for now we don't want to spend it all at once"
Sergor (Jake):"I'd rather hang on to my gold for now."
Simon N. (GM):Aretha: "Say 'I promise to kill the ghost with the sword and bring it back!"
Syrus (Kenny):'I promise to kill the ghost with the sword and bring it back'
Simon N. (GM):"That's my boy!" She grins broadly, her long green tongue flicking in and out, and hands Syrus the last scroll.
GM: Syrus you now have 1 use scrolls of Healing Word, Sleep & Thunderwave. Use your own casting stats when using them.
Syrus (Kenny):OOC Thanks @GM
Simon N. (GM):Aretha: "Time for lunch... bye-die-bye!"
She waves you goodbye as she tears off a chunk of roast rat and munches.
Erasmus:"Thank you mother."
Simon N. (GM):GM: You head off...
Syrus (Kenny):@Team we going back now?
to the bandit towers?
Sergor (Jake):To the towers? Yes, that would be good
Percy (Christian):"ye i think we should head back to the tower"
Simon N. (GM):The 2 hours back passes swiftly, a brisk wind whipping through the trees and your capes. You return to Fort Skulnar a little before noon.
Lothrin greets you. "All quiet here. Tenho is watching the prisoners."
Syrus (Kenny):@Team are we heading down to the Gobblin lair?
Sergor (Jake):@Team We should send the prisoners down first
Syrus (Kenny):BUT there is 1x room in the ruined tower we have not explored?
Percy (Christian):"sounds like a good plan"
"oh yes we should clear that out first"
Syrus (Kenny):The tower that Percy heard noises from last night?
Is everyone coming?
Sergor (Jake):we should check that out, yes.
Syrus (Kenny):@Lothrin I know you are desperate to swing that sword of yours, would you like to lead the way to that last room?
Simon N. (GM):GM: Also you only explored 1 room of the Keep's main tower. It had 3 doors off it.
Percy (Christian):"syrus save your scrolls for the goblins"
Simon N. (GM):Lothrin: "Sure."
Syrus (Kenny):nods to Percy
Percy (Christian) draws his rapier
Syrus (Kenny):@GM which 3 doors to Keep's main tower?
Simon N. (GM):The Keep seems much as you left it. You quietly approach the door.
Syrus (Kenny):Ohhh the 1st floor??
Simon N. (GM):Scroll down bottom left for upper floor of main tower map
Syrus (Kenny):@Team after this last room, shall we clear the 1st floor before heading down to see the Gobboes?
Simon N. (GM):Lothrin opens the door...
Sergor (Jake):Might as well. I imagine it'll be quick
Syrus (Kenny):OOC I love how we are all lined up like dominoes!
Simon N. (GM):A pile of smashed and rotten furniture stands against the south wall.
The remains of a collapsed chest jut forth.
An angry and very large snake rises up...
Syrus (Kenny):Shouts down the corridor "Don't forget to check for traps!"

Simon N. (GM):(I can only do Thurs or Fri next week)
Erasmus:While we're not too beat up, down is better.
Simon N. (GM):Lothrin nods. "aye."
Percy (Christian):OOC i can do Friday
Syrus (Kenny):OOC Friday night I cannot do.... maybe next Sunday?
Simon N. (GM):I have games Sat & Sun, my regular schedule is resuming.
My preference is Thursday if we have 2+ players
Syrus (Kenny):OOC let's discuss at the end?
Percy (Christian):OOC good idea
Simon N. (GM):GM: You head down the stairs to the dungeons below... spooky
Syrus (Kenny):*Syrus draws out Moon-touched sword to shed light above Erasmus
Erasmus:"We should go quietly."
Syrus (Kenny):YES! Stealthy stealthing!! :-P
Simon N. (GM):OK, hopefully the dynamic lighting is working...
:)
Syrus & Dawn are the only ones lit up I think
Syrus (Kenny):Syrus looks at the sword Aretha gave him, shakes it a bit...
Percy (Christian):OOC everything is black for me
Syrus (Kenny):"I think Aretha's sword is a bit faulty"
Erasmus:Check the settings. You may need to give those of us with nightvision the status.
Simon N. (GM):OK Syrus sword shines into life!
Erasmus:As Syrus is carrying the sword, perhaps set his token to emit light.
Syrus (Kenny):Ohhhhh!
Erasmus:I see nothing.
Syrus (Kenny):Can I do an investigation check?
Percy (Christian):working for me
Syrus (Kenny):@GM if I hold the sword high above me, can the whole party still not see?
Erasmus:There we go.
Simon N. (GM):ok can you all see now?
Not sure why half the tokens reverted
This is my first ever attempt w dynamic lighting!
Syrus (Kenny):@Erasmus - Tim look - its that lighting effect!!
Simon N. (GM):You are in a large cavern, fungi growing around the walls.
Erasmus::)
Simon N. (GM):You can hear rushing water and a waterfall in the distance.
Syrus (Kenny):@GM which direction for the water sound?
Simon N. (GM):east
Syrus (Kenny):@Team - which direction shall we go?
Simon N. (GM):Dawn: "I think there's an exit on this side..."
"Anything to south Syrus?"
GM: There seems to be a worked stone archway to the south.
Syrus (Kenny):"There are openings to South, North East, East and South East from where I am
What is this bundle of stuff by me?
Simon N. (GM):Lothrin: "I see a tunnel, opens into a cave... some kind of statue?"
Big mushrooms by Syrus.
They grow in the wet cavern.
Syrus (Kenny):Creatures to the South I think
Simon N. (GM):Syrus sees the south cave, water pools, something at the south pool.
A giant beetle, neck glands glowing redly.
And another beside it.
Syrus (Kenny):Do we feel like fighting some giant beetles?
We can try Stealth stealth surprise?
Simon N. (GM):They appear to be nibbling mushrooms from around the pool.
No cover AFAICS so no stealth
Syrus (Kenny):whispers to Dawn "M'Lady this way..."
Simon N. (GM):Besides, they must have noticed your light already.
Syrus (Kenny):@GM what is AFAICS?
Simon N. (GM):Dawn grumbles to Syrus: "But I like this tunnel better... " she tags along.
as far as I can see
Dawn: "oo! Beetles!"
Syrus (Kenny):@Dawn what makes you think that would be a better route?
Simon N. (GM):"I found it!"
Erasmus:"Fair."
Simon N. (GM):"Also, less beetles."
Syrus (Kenny):chuckles
@Lothrin "ready to slice some beetles?"
Simon N. (GM):The statues face away from you. Man sized & winged, some kind of angel?
Lothrin nods grimly, draws his sword.
Erasmus:"Let's try giving them a wide berth. Perhaps they won't bother us."
Simon N. (GM):He heads in, pauses at Eras' words.
Lothrin: "Very well."

Syrus, the debris has been loosely stuck together into a vaguely humanoid winged figure
There are notches on the body/twig as if it had been repeatedly stabbed with a blade tip.
It looks like a fetish doll used to curse people.
Syrus (Kenny):@Team - Look! This thing the Goblin was carrying looks like a voodoo doll thing - this winged figure kinda looked like the statues we walked past before seeing the beetles!
"Lets move back up!"
Percy (Christian):"what about down here

Lucky the water is crystal clear :)

Lothrin: "I'll go first"
