Alani (Phil):Hi Simon!
Rhennya:BTW Simon, we can't see the map...
Tony:mostly good
Simon N. (GM):is screen just black?
Alani (Phil):Yes
Simon N. (GM):how about now?
Alani (Phil):Oh it was there for a brief moment!
Tony:yep
1 small room
Simon N. (GM):Something to do w dynamic lighting settings
Because I enabled them on your tokens & not on the map maybe?
Hi Kim!
Alani (Phil):I don't even have the small room. :-(
Rhennya:small room with our tokens around a table or something
Dagny (Kimberly):Hey Simon!
Simon N. (GM):If you scroll in 200% to the room it will look ok
Philippe scroll out until you see it
hmm your token was blind!
should be ok now
Alani (Phil)::-D Thanks!
Simon N. (GM):Sharatu was blind too...
ok you should all be able to see now?
GM: A Tenday since the fall of the Water Prophet you have all rested and levelled up (hopefully). Dagny's Sage Bruldenthar has asked you to meet with him at Riverguard Keep.
Have a go moving your tokens around
Rhennya:Moving through doors opens up sightlines
Simon N. (GM):yup
I've put Rivergard on Unrestricted Movement since it is conquered. Restricted Movement would stop you moving through doors until I removed the block.
GM: A small detachment of Loudwater soldiers has arrived to garrison the keep under Alani's command. He will get more men over the next few months.
Secret door in the west wall leads to the stairs down to the underground river.
Alani (Phil):Where is everybody! :-O
Have I met Sgt Millet already or is it the first time?
Simon N. (GM):OK my PC has pretty much frozen up w the lag...
Alani (Phil):Miller
Simon N. (GM):Hi Jelly
Dagny (Kimberly):Hi Jelly
Simon N. (GM):ok everyone esp Bill pls stop dancing
Alani (Phil)::-D
Kasumi:Hi everyone! Slight lag for me since I'm on zoom at the same time and my laptop is protesting!
Simon N. (GM):my PC can't handle the dancing w the Dynamic lighting
good to know anyway!
Alani (Phil):A deadly combination, obviously! :-)
Simon N. (GM):I've lost VTT completely
ok trying Mozilla Firefox
seems ok
Dagny (Kimberly):were you in Safari before? I always have trouble with that, so I use Chrome for it now
Simon N. (GM):Bruldenthar: "So my friends, it is clear that the Elder Elemental Eye has summoned the remaining Prophets to bring forth their Princes..."
(was in Chrome)
"We may not have much time."
Dagny (Kimberly):Dagny, to Ralph and Alani -- Did either of the two of you feel any pull from your weapons?
Rhennya:No time like the present!
Tony:nope
Alani (Phil):I don;t believe so...
Simon N. (GM):Bruldenthar: "From here at Riverguard a route lies down to the Water Temple, held by the minions of Sharatu, and from there to the Fane of the Eye, which gives access to the Elemental Nodes."
Alani (Phil):I grasp my dagger of Fire and see if some presence is whispering in my ear...
Tony:water temple it is
Simon N. (GM):Alani does feel a vague desire to stab the annoying dwarf.
Alani (Phil)::-D
Alani (Phil):That was way beofre grasping the dagger...
Rhennya:good map!
So, we're taking the Dark Stream?
Simon N. (GM):"My suggestion is that you proceed forthwith against the Cult of Black Earth, the stronger of the two remaining cults, and stop them summoning Ogremoch to our Realm."
GM: Any prep you want to do before heading up the Dark Stream?
Kasumi:Have we had a LR?
Simon N. (GM):yup
Kasumi:How about some healing potions everyone?
Dagny (Kimberly):I will have collected any holy water or potions that my minions...er, helpers...created during the long rest
Rhennya:I have 2, how many are we likely to need?
Dagny (Kimberly):I have another 4 potions (is what I had written down)
plus what I had before
Kasumi:Perhaps one for each person?
So need one more?

Simon N. (GM):You can have up to 8 more healing potions at 25gp each for ingredients.
Dagny (Kimberly):ok!
I hand out one potion to everyone
Rhennya:cheers Dagny!
Simon N. (GM):GM: You should all be at level 13 with new spells etc now
Kasumi:Yup, all good! I can now understand all languages!
Dagny (Kimberly):Yes! I have Regenerate I can cast now on someone
Rhennya:Yes, and more importantly, free slots!
Simon N. (GM):GM: Once preparations are secure, you descend to the Dark Stream and take the boats upriver to the Water Temple, where Bronzeflume Sharatu's pet dragon turtle greets you cheerily with twin nostril blasts of scalding steam.
Kasumi:Awwwww!
(He does still look tasty, though!)
Simon N. (GM):Sharatu's Tiamat cultists - who look suspiciously like a motley collection of former Elemental cultists - salute their High Priest, the Emberhorn Minotaurs blowing jets of fire into the air.
Rhennya:Wow, Sharatu!
Simon N. (GM):From the Temple you can descend to the Fane of the Eye, still contested territory but the only way down to the Elemental Nodes.
GM: I've moved you to the Fane of the Eye, SE corner.
Make sure you can all see :)
Rhennya:We recognise the area
Kasumi:OOC can I just check what time we're finishing (visiting grandmother tonight and just need to let her know what time)?
Simon N. (GM):aiming for 6.30
Alani (Phil):It's stop No 2 on the Bronzeflume line!
Kasumi:Thanks Simon!
Yes can see.
Simon N. (GM):try moving your tokens, north presumably if you are heading for where you met the hill giants.
Move your speed at a time (so ca 5-8 squares) then let others move
Dagny (Kimberly):Before we go on, I am going to cast AID
on Kasumi, Rhennya and who else is the most squishy?
5 HP for 8 hours
Kasumi:Very nice, thank you!
Dagny (Kimberly):add 5 to max and get them immediately
Sharatu do you want the last Aid?
Simon N. (GM):If you don't recall the way you can check Survival - I'll give Dagny advtg for Stonecunning
sharatu:no thanks im good
Dagny (Kimberly):Ok, Seraphus, why don't you take it then :-)
Simon N. (GM):Waterfall: The roar of falling water fills this cavern. A stream flows from a passage to the south and spills over the edge of a forty-foot-wide pit. A set of slick stone steps descends into the spray-filled bowl to the north, while a passage to the west holds steps leading upward.
Up steps to west: Fungal Swamp
A forest of weird fungal growth infests this large cavern. Giant toadstools and puffballs stand in and among shallow pools of water or atop ledges along the walls. Those walls are covered by huge growths of shelf fungi. Water drips constantly from above.
Sharatu stands on the steps, waiting :)
rest of you can move up to him
Kasumi:Could you please move me Simon, just at the summary of my course so got to concentrate a bit!
Simon N. (GM):This place is infested with rotting fungus
The Violet Fungi quiver slightly at your approach.
Rhennya:We're supposed to walk on the ledge
Tony:walking on ledge
sharatu:we could just destroy thr fungus with fire
Alani (Phil):It;s almost as if the fungi remember us!
Simon N. (GM)::)
Dagny (Kimberly):I don't want to waste spells though
sharatu:ill use fire bolt the cantrip
Dagny (Kimberly):Dagny pulls out a mushroom cookbook and waves it around...
Simon N. (GM):Sharatu starts burning fungi
Rhennya:I can create bonfire as a cantrip...
sharatu:i cast firebolt on the closest fungi

Rhennya is searching for some thyme and garlic to add
Alani (Phil):And butter!
Simon N. (GM):GM: You can walk on the shelves, or past the burning fungi on the cavern floor?
Tony:shelves please
sharatu:the shelves
Kasumi:I'll go via the shelves as well.
Simon N. (GM):ok move your tokens the way you want to move, one move at a time pls
Rhennya:I'll try the shelves as well
Dagny (Kimberly):shelves...
Alani (Phil):Hope those shrooms are not loaded with psilocybin or we'll see a few weird monsters soon!
Simon N. (GM):Kasumi heads for the the shelf
GM: You cross along the 3' wide path and safely traverse the fungal cave.
Reaching the north tunnel you hear the sound of hill giants arguing over noughts & crosses.
Dagny (Kimberly):I don't suppose I have time to pay my respects to the dwarven dude, do I?
Simon N. (GM):a quick jaunt yes Dagny :)
Dagny (Kimberly):Ok, I very quickly go in and bow by the tomb and say a prayer, then join the others
Simon N. (GM):Hall of Black Crystal
Weird crystals jut from the walls and the floor of this ancient hall, giving off violet light. On the east side, these crystals form a distinct doorway or gate, beyond which the floor slopes downward. Two huge bedrolls and barrels full of provisions are in the southern end of the room.
Dagny (Kimberly):Perhaps, dusting off any newly accumlated dust
Simon N. (GM):Dagny gives Hendrel Foebreaker's crypt a quick prayer (have Inspiration Dagny) then joins the others.
Dagny (Kimberly):I am inspired! We are going to do well in this fight!
Simon N. (GM):"Karg, you iz cheatin!" "No Maul, you iz no good!"
Rhennya:"Hello friends! Remember our game?"
Simon N. (GM):The giants turn as you enter. "Dese l'il guys again!"
Karg and Maul nod eagerly to Rhennya.
"Ayez!"
"You iz pretty but dumb one! Not smart like uz hur hur hur!"
Rhennya:Shall we play again, then? MAke it more interesting?
Alani (Phil):Hustler
(cough)
Simon N. (GM):Maul nods eagerly. "I wanna play!"
Maul hands Rhennya some multi-coloured rocks to place on the board.
Maul: "Wassa bet?"
Dagny (Kimberly):Can I tell anything about the rocks?
with my stonecunning?
Like, are any weighted or ... ?
Rhennya:"if you win? What would you like? If I win, you let us through...?"

Tony:never mind
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. Next to each statue is a human guard encased in stone armor.
Dagny (Kimberly):Can I tell anything about the stone armor?
Simon N. (GM):The guards come alert as your light enters the cavern. They are wearing Black Earth Cult stone plate arnour.
The guards call out in alarm and the ground around Sharatu erupts as two earth elementals tear out of the ground.
These elementals have veins of glowing purple crystal; each sheds bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for another 15 feet beyond that.
Dagny (Kimberly):Do I know anything about the purple crystal?
stonecunning wise?
Simon N. (GM):The purple crystal seems infused with energy from the Plane of Earth.
Guard: "Destroy the Blasphemers!"
Dagny (Kimberly):Do I know if it is prone to shattering with high sounds or anything of the sort?
sharatu:my dads looking for his notes
Dagny (Kimberly):ok :)
sharatu:well this is a troublesome situation for me
Dagny (Kimberly):Perhaps you should have taken the Aid after all ;-)
sharatu:i'll be fine
Dagny (Kimberly):But I am here behind you! I shall heal you!

Simon N. (GM):I'll let you do your monk unarmed dmg w pommel
