Tanma Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 IC: De'kra nodded at the bats, his eyes flaming of faint recognition. He had seen something like this kind of creature before, possibly many different things. As he attacked Bat D from the back row, De'kra couldn't help but feel like the situation could be much worse. Much worse. But in this situation his Prongcanis Dagger should be more than enough for the bats, should all go well. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted February 26, 2012 Author Posted February 26, 2012 Ooc: Do they have a special? Swarm but it's not based on attacks. Quote
Dwellington Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Swindle shoots at Bat C from the back row. "We can have them easily, gentlemen!" Quote
Rumble Strike Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 "Just make sure that we are all attacking different bats! If the Gods are with us we can finish this quickly." cried Tarn as he aimed his axe at Bat B from the front row. Battle Order: Tarn - Bat B Knifk - Bat E? Guts - Bat A Dak - Bat F? De'kra - Bat D Aberforth - Bat C Quote
Darth Nihilus Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Dak nods at Tarn and leaps at Bat F, from the Back Row. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 I already rolled, so.... Round 1 vs Bats: Tarn vs Bat B - Hit Knifk vs Bat E - Hit Guts vs Bat A - Crit Hit Dak vs Bat F - Shield De'kra vs Bat D - Hit Aberforth vs Bat C - Hit Apparently the Giant Spider made the heroes absolutely fearless. The heroes leap forward and completely, utterly, and irreversibly decimate the poor, helpless, bloodsucking flying rats. After the spray of blood, bits and steel settles, the heroes look at one another covered in bat guts and have a good laugh. Dak looks down and finds 31 gold coins! VICTORY!

Dwellington Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 "Job well done!" Swindle brushes some bat gore off of his hat, and takes a short nap in his bedroll. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Ooc: my dagger's power should have left me at full health :) Guts digs in the ground, without spirit. He had almost given up hope the mine would hold any treasure. Quote
Rumble Strike Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 "That's more like it!" beamed Tarn. "The Gods are with us again!" Once everyone was rested, he would see if there were any futher passageways to explore on this level. Quote

Once everyone was rested, he would see if there were any futher passageways to explore on this level. IC: De'kra glanced at the groups leader, and sighed softly. Of course, despite the volume any sigh is loud for De'kra, as he doesn't need to breathe, The shade decided to rest as well, he might as well get some dreams in before they continue. Even as he began to dream finally De'kra remembered the bats of his past. Quote
Darth Nihilus Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 OOC: Please let there be more battles like this, I need the easy XP! IC: Dak picks up the gold from the dirt, wiping it off with a corner of his tunic. After a good bit of wiping and spit, the gold shines like new. He holds up the coins, admiring them, and then puts them in the satchel he looted from the skeleton, along with the rest of the potions, venoms, and Gold left in the pockets of his fencing tunic, which he folded up and put in the bag as well. He then picks up the bag from the ground, pulls out his knife, and, apparently remembering something from his past, walks over and examining the bats, checking to see if they are all dead. He then checks the walls and ceiling of the room they're in, trying to see if there are any other bats or any creatures left, as well as looking for signs of human inhabitance. "Hey," he says, and feels all the eyes in the cavern drawn to him. "You've all pretty much filled me in on what happened before I woke up, and the rest of it kind of filled itself in, or at least I think it did. That's how I was able to make the map. However, you have told me we came here to see what was stripping the mine of minerals, correct? Well, I don't think anything we've encountered yet; or what you've told me we encountered, has been able to do that, unless one of those things was enhanced by magic. I wonder," Dak looks thoughtful, "if that poor soul we found down that dead-end path was someone who found out what was really going on down here? We might want to go back and examine that part of the mine for signs of a struggle or magic usage. Also, those spiders? I don't think that they were what you would call 'normal'. Somehow, I think that there might be some magic at work here. Those spiders were unnaturally big, and that doesn't happen in a normal world, I think. Unless your world has changed a lot since my latest memories that have come back, which I seriously doubt. Aberforth, you're the magical specialist of this party, is it possible that there is a section of the mine that can only be opened by magic? And if so, do you think that you could open it? I'm in no way sure that my theory is correct, but if there is magic at work here, which I think is pretty likely, it could be a possibility." Quote
Scubacarrot Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 "Kid, you need to quit yapping, and start using your head. If the mage would be able to open some kind of 'secret' passage, I'm sure he would have let us know, he does not seem the type for secrecy about this sort of thing, hell, the only thing he is hiding must be his baldness under that ridiculous hat. You question the nature of these spiders, yet you were totally okay with that giant lizard, back in that other place?" Guts rolls his eyes, giant spiders were the least of his worries now (the largest was how to obtain a bottle of fine wine in this hellhole), there was something going on here, that part was right. Guts knew one thing for sure, when he got out of here, he would punch that Steward guy in the face. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 The heroes once again explore their surroundings but come up empty handed. The party decides to rest up before setting out again. The Party: Tarn Valco, Level 12 Barbarian, 21 year old human male ***PARTY LEADER*** Power: 22 Health: 19/19 Gold: 50 Inventory: Kyrferath, a Battle Axe (WP: 10, Water Elemental), Pole-axe (WP: 3), Mead x 2, Venom, Grand Potion, Shovel Dak Shadeaux, Level 10.5 Rogue, 35 year old half-elf Mopag Power: 17 Health: 16/16 Gold: 155 Inventory: Mockthril Knife (Equipped)(WP:7), Thgir Blade (WP:5), Twin Longswords (WP:3), Mockthril Whip (WP:4), 2 Venoms, 1 Potion, Mead, Bedroll, Shovel Guts Holla, Level 10 Rogue, 42 year old male human Power: 17 Health: 16/16 Gold: 133 Inventory: Lifestealer (WP:7 attacks restore 3 health), Potion, Bedroll, Shovel Knifk, Level 10.5 Knight, 30 year old male Orc Power: 17 Health: 19/19 Gold: 75 Inventory: Tfel Blade (WP:7), Mockthril Shield (SP:5), Venom, Bedroll De'kra, Level 12 Rogue, 11 year old Male Shade Power: 17 Health: 18/18 Gold: 88 Inventory: Pongcanis Dagger(WP:5, Electricity), Shadeaux Dagger(WP:5), Fang Dagger(WP:4), Cloak of the Blue Assassin(SP: 1), Cloak of the Elven Spy(loaned to Atramor), Bedroll, Venom (1), Potions (2), Pickaxe Aberforth Swindle, Level 5 Mage, 62 year old human Power:7 Health: 9/9 Ether 9/9 Gold: 20 Inventory: Torch (2 WP, fire) Simple Staff (3 WP), Tonic, Venom, Amethyst Gemstone, Musty Bedroll Explore the other end of the tunnel or back to the Giant Spider's lair?

Dwellington Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Swindle, sitting up in his bedroll, takes off his hat and slicks back a small wisp of white hair in defiance at Guts. He then turns to Dak. "I haven't noticed anything I'd consider particularly magical, although I wouldn't rule out the possibility. If we decide to go back to where the Spider was, I can double check. To be honest, I don't think that's entirely the answer. "I'd suggest we keep moving forward." Quote
Rumble Strike Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Firmly grasping Kyrferath once again, Tarn decided that they would explore the other end of this tunnel. OOC: Tarn also equipped his Hollow Blade with one of his two Meads earlier, this needs reflecting in the stats Edited February 29, 2012 by Rumble Strike Quote

To be honest, I don't think that's entirely the answer. "I'd suggest we keep moving forward." "Then I'm not sure what is. The only other explanation I can think of is that for some reason, the Steward is stealing his own minerals, though I'm not sure why. I say we continue forward, that might lead us to more clues about what's going on here. Also, if the rest of you won't go forward, I will. Since I'm a Rogue, if I come to a battle I know I can't win, I'll just run back and tell you guys what happened. OOC: So, basically, this means that Dak will go to the other end of the tunnel, regardless of whether the party goes with him or not. If there's a battle at the end of the tunnel that has an enemy Level 15 or higher, he'll use his Flee skill in the first Round. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Guts watches how Dak walks into a wall, and frowns, perhaps his brain damage was worse than the party had thought. Ooc: We can't go forward Quote

Ooc: We can't go forward OOC: Yes we can,I'm assuming the other end of the tunnel is forward from where we're standing. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 OOC: Yes we can,I'm assuming the other end of the tunnel is forward from where we're standing. Which is where we decided to go in the first place Quote
Darth Nihilus Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Which is where we decided to go in the first place OOC: I actually didn't read any of the posts after the updated stats, I just posted. I just wanted to throw that in there, as a little bit of motivation (Unless, of course, Guts decides it's better to let Dak set off all the traps instead of checking for them himself, which I wouldn't put past him, by the way. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted March 2, 2012 Author Posted March 2, 2012 The party turns about to explore the oppodsite end of the current tunnel. The path ends in an unremarkable chamber that was long ago picked clean by the Miners' Guild. Quote
Rumble Strike Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Tarn looked disappointed. "Does anyone want to have a dig around here? Not that we've had much luck digging before, but you never know." Quote
Scubacarrot Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 "Fine." Guts digs, while mumbling something along the lines of: 'that steward is going to die' Quote
UsernameMDM Posted March 3, 2012 Author Posted March 3, 2012 The party searches the chamber but comes up empty handed. They decided to hoof it back to the Giant Spider's lair and continue on from there. As the descend into a cool, dark tunnel, they come to another 3-way intersection. Straight, right, or left? Quote
Tanma Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 IC: De'kra clicked, "Group go left? I partial to middle path, but if group start left and reach barrier, group can go back and just go next left most path, which will save time from check map." Quote
