Session Start: Fri Mar 31 19:00:10 2000
*** Now talking in #nightbelow
*** Topic is 'With Doom We Come, With Doom We Come'
<Saif> Hey Everybody
<Saif> Still setting up
<Amber> hi
<Castinar> hiya saif
<Thengal> Hey saif
<Saif> Has anybody heard from Kim lately? I thought she would be back by now
<Castinar> nothing
<Thengal> Nope
<Kat> I have not heard from her
<Amber> nadda
<Saif> K, we'll wait a while to see if Seth shows. I know George is going to be a little late.
<Saif> I have to wonder if Seth went with George to see the movie.
<Sane> ****Saif, comments and questions: Sane's fake Kats didn't get to fire arrows last round. Sane's infravision, according to his PC sheet is 60' not 30'. The dragon can apparently attack and cast spells in the same round, right? How did Sane get perched up on the wall? I do not recall that happening.
<Saif> While we wait, any questions about the current situation? Or comments other than "We're all gonna die!!" <g>
<Castinar> Diana's actions posted to your window, Saif
<Kat> Did Kat's arrow do damage to the dragon?
<Saif> Sane - after a careful reading of your intentions I understood your intent to be that the images would act as a mirror image spell, not attacking.
<Thengal> What level should our new characters be? <g>
<Amber> How close is Amber to Thengal? a step or two? She would cast a healing spell but if she has to move...map looked like it was at least 5' between them.
<Sane> But I certainly made it clear that they were going to fire arrows. I intended them to attack. I was losing my invisibility anyway.
<Saif> Sane - where do you see the 60'? I'm looking at the sheet and see 30'
<Thengal> Now the Dragon's gone, I can move closer to Amber if I have to
<Sane> I'll paste it
<Amber> *nikki was going to cast Chaos Shield next round...at a meeting.
<Saif> Sane - yes, he apparently can, although OOC I would argue with the definition of "spell" here compared to what he did
<Saif> Sane - as for the wall, I thought you landed and cast the spell. You can't hover. If you want to stay in the air you are going to have to keep pumping your wings and flying around - all of which may lead to a mis-cast spell.
<Saif> Kat - yes, your arrow damaged the dragon (6 pts)
<Nikki> <-- chaos shield. busy
<Saif> Thengal - depends on how honorable your deaths are <BG>
<Saif> Amber - you are right next to him
<Amber> okay, thanks.
<Kat> *Just a note, I have down that they also act like +1 arrows.
<Sane> I thought I landed on the ground, but up on the wall is ok. It's just that I was expecting that.
<Saif> Sane - I actually deleted out a whole section about my rational about how to treat that, then deleted it when I decided the mirror image thing was much more likely.
<Thengal> Seth left actions for next couple of rounds fyi, he couldn't stay
<Saif> Two "problems" with the illusion. first, the dragon perceives the illusions to be mirror images (a spell he is obvioulsy familiar with) since Kat suddenly having mirror images around her is much more likely that Kat suddenly splitting into four identical Kats.
<Sane> the whole point was for the illusion to attack.
<Castinar> Saif -- Diana's actions (requested) pasted into your private window
<Saif> Second, even if he thought they weren't mirror images, Kat suddenly splitting into four Kats is very, very strange, easily justification for a saving throw.
<Sane> sure; figured a s.t.
<Saif> Cast - got the actions, thanks
<Castinar> np
<Saif> Kat - check (the hit was easy, only damage was in question)
<Kat> ok
<Sane> Did the dragon disappear as Kat's arrow hit it, or sometime after?
<Saif> Just rolled a ST for dragon - made it (easily - he's had great ST rolls). So he now knows that they are illusions and which Kat is the real one.
<Sane> well, he's out of sight of the illusion now anyway
<Saif> Sane - it disappeard right after Diana's Blade Barrier just about decapitated it
<Saif> just out of curiosity...
<Saif> db 8d8
<db> Saif rolled 8d8: [31] 5 4 1 4 1 6 8 2
<Saif> well, not quite decapitate, but make very, very angry
<Saif> Have I missed any questions?
<Saif> BTW, is Seth sick?
<Sane> he was here earlier, I think
<Sane> maybe not
<Saif> Yes, Cast had a message from him. Looked like he had been at the hospital.
<Castinar> yep
<Saif> ### Last chance for questions, then we'll start
-> *David* hey
<Amber> oh dear, hope he's alright now
<Castinar> He was here until about 15min before you showed up
<Amber> Did Ambers bullet scratch the dragons cornea...ie. do damage?
<Saif> Amber - just normal damage. You would have had to have scored a critical hit (pretty much impossible with the dragon's AC) to do any damage beyond the normal sling damage
<Sane> *Saif, question
<Amber> K, figured.
<Saif> brb = wife calls
<Sane> ***Saif, this dragon took damage from Kat's arrow and then cast a spell. <AD&D point of order>
<Saif> Back
<Thengal> I'm thinking it wasn't a spell that caused him to teleport, saif hinted at that
<Saif> Sane - OOC point of order that wasn't a spell, it was an innate ability
<Sane> *sorry, did'nt see that, thanks.
<Saif> np

<Xaveus> yo
<Nikki> sort of here
<Thengal> Here, (barely
<Kat> hello
<Amber> oops, here
<Castinar> here
<Sane> here
<Amber> ...she says as comic book put away.
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> OK, then, intentions for round 5?
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
* Sane casts Invisibility on himself.
<Saif> Casting time? (phase)
<Amber> cast cure moderate wounds on Thengal. "Hold still Thengal, the @@#^& is gone."
<Thengal> Take potion from Diana and drink, let her and amber heal me
<Sane> *I'm not sure on the whole phase deal, but CT 1
* Kat moves to p10ish avoiding the Blade Barrier and looking for the dragon.
* Castinar will hurry forward -- knowing of Shadow's troubles
<Saif> * Thengal - Diana is going to use a spell on you first
* Nikki casts Chaos Shield. Extremely busy at work. No spell stats, I think it's cT:5
<Thengal> OK
<Castinar> *Hunter will cast invis on self and continue flying/searching for shallow tunnel
<Sane> Invis-- Rnge: Touch Dur: Spec A of E: crea touched Comp: S CT: 1 ST: None
<Xaveus> Xaveus will link up with Amber and Thengal
<Castinar> *Shadow will screech to a halt, quickly backpedaling (30' back)
<Castinar> *if i read the map correctly, Shadow (and Shadowier) are off hte map 70' from where Castinar currenlty is
<Castinar> *We should meet 1/2 way
<Saif> Cast - yes, see combat2.gif (same URL, just substitute the 2) for a map showing positions relative to the dragon
<Saif> Amber - casting time on spell plz
<Castinar> yep -- but they're 50' squares, so I can't give good coord <G>
<Castinar> *Hunter invis, inate ability, Initiatve fast
<Saif> Cast - check
<Saif> on both
<Amber> casting time 5 range touch fast casting.
<Saif> Anybody want to volunteer to run Ari?
<Amber> *BRB hubby needs assistence!
<Sane> Paul says that he will <g>
<Thengal> I sugest Matar, since he's walking wounded
<Kat> *brb I could run Ari - Ari will trying do something underdark wiselike.
* Saif disbelieves Paul's invisibility
<Saif> K, Paul gets her, although he just disappeared
<Saif> So Ari's action is "do something underdark wiselike" <BG> .... I guess that would mean abandoning the party and hightailing it out on her own
<Sane> db what's in store for us tonight on a scale of d100
<db> Sane rolled 1d100: [29]
<Saif> Well, Ari has to stand up anyway, so she can only do half an action
<Saif> Sane - what do you want her to do (unless Paul sees this and responds before you do)
<Sane> one sec
<Castinar> Think Ari should use P/E spell
<Sane> peak around the corner and fire crossbow at the dragon; any magic bolts?
<Castinar> *Speaking of which -- Cast will enter "guard" once he reaches Shadow's position
<Thengal> Could be useful
<Castinar> should be 1/2 move / guard
<Kat> Knowing how much she hates those stones, Ari will take two continual light stones and throw them near the dragon.
<Saif> Kat - she'll have to move down to the tunnel first - so get up and move down to tunnel? Stones can be next round
<Kat> *How's that for an action. Or, if the dragon is in range, she could finally use that scroll of Dispel 10th level.
<Castinar> scroll is nice -- might as well use now, while she's thinking about it <G>
<Kat> *oh, she will move up to throw them next round or use scroll.
<Saif> OK
<Saif> .

<Saif> Round 5: Events
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> VF:
<Saif> Kat moves down to P10ish, looking for the dragon. She doesn't see it (note you can sense the dragon's position from your empathy link - Shadow sees it)
<Saif> * btw, instead of shifting all the phases I'll just have the dragon move slower
<Saif> Fast:
<Saif> Matar continues staggering down the wall
<Saif> Oh, in VF Sane and Amber started casting spells
<Saif> and Nikki too
<Saif> Sane's spell goes off. He is now invisibile
<Saif> * So Sane, you wanted to be on the ground?
<Thengal> brb
<Sane> no, on the wall
<Saif> OK, on the wall then
<Sane> *I decided I like that <g>
<Xaveus> * Invisible Boy-Mystery Men, do we still see him?
<Saif> Shadow starts backing up as Castianar moves in her direction
<Saif> * Only if you look at him
<Saif> H and C will meet about 100' from the dragon
<Saif> * which isn't all that much compared to am 80' dragon
<Saif> Ari stands up, but in the process manages to loose her sword. She'll have to spend the rest of the round picking it up and resheathing it (random event)
<Saif> Amber's CMW goes off (Roll, Amber)
<Saif> Xaveus moves back to where the others are gathered
<Saif> Thengal holds his position, waiting for all this wonderful healing magic

<Saif> Working on map and grid - questions?
<Castinar> *Shadow get a shot (only had 1/2 action)
<Sane> Saif, Question: How high is the ceiling over the dragon? How tall is the dragon at present?
<Sane> ie; how much space between the dragon head at present height and the ceiling?
<Robert> Well, I've bugged David about the NCAA final four. Anyone else care to offer a prediction before I leave you? :)
<Sane> Gonzaga
<Saif> OK, Map and Grid are up

<Saif> OK, try again
<Saif> * no, normal combat map
<Saif> any other questions?
<Kat> Can Ari do full movement and get out her scroll?
<Saif> Cast - she would have fired before the images went up (otherwise she wont' have time to get bow ready before end of round)
<Thengal> Still showing old combat map
* Castinar nods
<Nikki> I still alive?
<Castinar> Yep
<Saif> Kat - walking? Yes, that is a simple dex check
<Thengal> Your next action is charge the dragon right??
<Sane> no new map
<Amber> I see h & c at bottom, barely
<Saif> Nikki - barely - your chaos shield surged <BG> Not really, but that does remind me we need to roll the surges for that

<Amber> Standing undecided on what to do next, looks around for anyone else close enoguh to need healing.
<Saif> Nikki - nope
<Nikki> combat.gif?

<Sane> He will be about 5' from ceiling. Start gliding toward dragon at end of round.
<Thengal> (Potion effect, should add 12 ft height to each of us

<Saif> Xaveus - do you drink when Thengal hands you the flask??
<Xaveus> Saif, is all damage Xaveus has incurred due to level dropping?

<Saif> makes it to AC3
<Saif> Diana finds her potion of growth and hands it to Thengal
<Saif> Castinar moves across the tunnel
*** Castinar has quit IRC (Ping timeout)

<Saif> db d4
<db> Saif rolled 1d4: [4]
<Saif> K
<Saif> Nikki's spell doesn't go off as planned
<Saif> Two strange things happen
<Saif> First, there is a sharp <Crack!> sound from at Nikki's feet
<Saif> Looking down the wild mage sees the ground under her suddenly go clear
<Castinar> Whoops --- earthquake <G>
<Saif> The clear area start to expand
<Nikki> cool
<Saif> With a slight shock Nikki realizes the ground under her has turned to glass
<Nikki> not cool
<Saif> The glassy area spreads out to about 60' around Nikki
<Saif> (will be on the map)
<Nikki> interesting <g>
<Thengal> *Could it be a way out of here??
<Saif> It is about 10' deep
<Nikki> and leads to a different level of the underdark beneath the glass?
<Saif> The other thing Nikki probably won't ever figure out - but she could hold her breath for quite a while if she needed to right now
<Saif> Nikki - nope, just more rock
<Nikki> ill bet *that* scared the crap outta the dragon! hah! show him!
<Saif> K, back to everybody else
<Saif> Thengal and Xaveus are now both 12' taller
<Saif> So both are about 16' tall, making them like....
<Amber> "Hey! Watch it!"
<Saif> they both look like hill giants now
<Saif> Movement rate for both increased to base 12"
<Xaveus> "Is my hammer large as well?
<Saif> Meaning they can both move at 65' per round now (normal rate)
<Saif> yes, all gear grows as well - HOWEVER, you don't have exceptional strength - just larger size
<Thengal> Combat.gif is 10' squares, yes??
<Xaveus> Would hammer do more damage due to size?
<Saif> yes
<Saif> Xaveus - nope, everything remains the same except for your size and movement rate
<Xaveus> ok
<Saif> Shadow takes her two shots (roll)
<Castinar> db
<db> Castinar rolled 1d20: [18]
<Castinar> db
<db> Castinar rolled 1d20: [15]
<Saif> Cast - a d8 please
<Castinar> db d8
<db> Castinar rolled 1d8: [1]
<Saif> that might actually hit the dragon - just a sec...
<Castinar> about time :-)
<Saif> Nope, nice first shot though
<Saif> d8 again
<Castinar> db d8
<db> Castinar rolled 1d8: [8]
<Saif> well, you want to hit a mirror image, right?
<Saif> nevermind
<Saif> now 7 images
<Castinar> sure -- but drawing blood wouldn't be a bad thing <G>
<Saif> For the dragon's part he seems to be concentrating, but you don't see anything happen
<Saif> End of Round. Did I miss anybody?
<Nikki> uh oh
<Castinar> can I perform an action?
<Amber> doing cure
<Amber> oops did it.
<Castinar> *since he's chicken to approach <G>
<Saif> Cast - did you want to stop in the center of the tunnel or move to the other side?
<Amber> sorry distracted by son
<Castinar> Side
<Saif> that will take you the entire round at a slight jog
<Castinar> k
<Saif> OK, I'm going to adjust the map to show the tunnel as well. This might take a few minutes, so take 5 if you want.
<Saif> working on map...
<Thengal> ok
<Thengal> FYI, I am leaving for the sandbox again on Tuesday, so I won't be chatting until sometime in May. I'll try to keep up by email though
<Thengal> Saif, I'll send you my TDY address as soon as I get it, probably on Thursday.
<Saif> Back
<Saif> Thengal - thanks, and sorry <g>
* Saif once again celebrates the fact that he is no longer airborne
<Thengal> Well, You know what it's like
* Saif nods
<Saif> OK, I don't see any questions, so...
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> R7 intentions?
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Amber> looking at map...
<Kat> Upon seeing the multiple images, Ari doesn't want to waste the scroll just yet. She will cast Protection from Evil upon herself.
* Nikki casts DM via RD again.
<Saif> Oops, just realized I forgot to put the glassy area on the map
* Matar moves to t24 along the wall.
<Thengal> move full move to p34b (2x) speed
<Kat> *Qeustion: How fast can Kat move on the glass? (Slippers normally move at 60' per round.
<Saif> All those around her and as far away as shadow are now standing over glass
<Saif> Which makes the floor very slippery, so movement rates will be reduced to 1/4 normal unless you want to risk a fall
* Sane glides to AB28, staying high, 5-10 feet from ceiling. normal speed
<Matar> her?
<Xaveus> Xaveus will reach under his beard grasp his grandfather's Torc and ask for guidance should he not answer he will turn to Amber and ask for Tymora's blessing as he will re-enter the frey
<Saif> Kat - the slippers dont' work on very slick surfaces - like this now is. You're human again (well, normal hengeyokai)
<Nikki> glass isnt that slippery
<Amber> move to gd32 to get out of way two giants...:)
<Thengal> ok please adjust my move to stop short of the glass then
<Nikki> is this ice or glass?
<Castinar> *Cast senses that the beast is about to unleash some magic -- and most magic requires sight, so he's gonna try to blind it --- (andhope this works, considering what it is)
<Saif> Matar - consider above do you slow down to the 1/4 speed?
<Saif> A fall could knock you out
<Kat> *Is the glass wet?
<Matar> whos her? Ari?
<Castinar> Darkness 15'r between me and it -- about W16, 25' above floor
<Amber> *for what's it worth, Amber gives Thengal Tymora's blessing and then rubs her ears as the sound reverberates thru them.
<Castinar> Shadow will fire another pair of normal arrows
<Castinar> Hunter will continue to fly
<Saif> Sane - if you glide you loose altitude at a 1:1 rate compared to your forward motion - do you still glide, or flap?
<Matar> what caused it? does it extend north of the wall? (q28 area?
<Xaveus> Xaveus asks Amber if she wishes to be carried, although she might not like the direction he is heading
<Thengal> *Amber, you meant Xaveous??
<Saif> Matar - Nikki did it , and behind you it extends all the way up to row N along the wall
<Amber> "Ahh...sigh, okay. But be gentle for Tymoras sake!"
<Matar> forward that far too?
<Amber> *yeah, sorry.
<Thengal> In that case, change my destination to m31 please
<Amber> bless X.
<Sane> Saif--desend at a 1:1? that seems a little harsh. Sane will flap a little to keep high
* Matar moves at 1/4 to r27c and nestles into the corner.
<Amber> (not spell)
<Saif> Nikki - this is very smooth glass
* Kat will move to v29c and fire a normal arrow at the nasty dragons. (Kat would like to move her full 1/2 movement. Please let me know if the slippers help moving on the glass.)
<Saif> Cast - casting time on the Darkness??
<Xaveus> Will head forward with Thengal as far as Xaveus can.
<Saif> Amber- spell?
<Castinar> Sorry: Granted power: Average (I think) AoE 15'r
<Amber> no, just moral booster
<Amber> *don't have it in memory...bless that is.
<Xaveus> That's 4th level isn't it?
<Castinar> doesn't say in C&T -- Ave or Fast for granteds?
<Amber> ##if X picks amber up, can she cast a spell on herself?
<Saif> Sane - on the flight we'll benchmark gliding off of a dragon. If you want to figure that out now you can. They loose 1000' per round (old AD&D round) of gliding. 6 of our rounds equals one of the old ones.
<Saif> Sane - but I'm pretty sure it will be something like that.
<Sane> OK, Sane flaps this round
<Sane> but goes a little slower, only reaching ab30 this round
<Sane> he curves gently so that he ends round facing dragon
<Amber> cast spell prot. frm evil range self, c4, cf duration 15rds??? not sure what level she is now. 3rds/level if she can while being carried.
<Saif> Amber- that's the third action you've given here
<Saif> You're already being carried, so no spell casting possible
<Amber> sorry, okay. just asking. :)
<Saif> Diana will follow the others forward
<Saif> K, think I've got it all

<Nikki> * At least I'll be safe if I ever make it home.
<Saif> The results of this surge are rather dramatic
* Castinar snickers
<Castinar> *Think he got it from me... <G>
<Saif> Although you feel no change in the air, the whole area suddenly becomes very misty, or perhaps cloudy... maybe smoky? But no smell to it.
<Castinar> *at least, got the link from me, I think
<Kat> *Sane give me the URL for that chart: http://www.rpghost.com/archive/netbooks/magic/mageffects.htm
<Saif> The mist quickly gathers until nobody can see more than 10' in front of them!
<Xaveus> Thank you
<Nikki> including the dragon?
<Nikki> i hope
<Saif> * Note- party now has a significant advantage since they know generally where each other is
<Saif> Well, you can't tell because you can no longer see the dragon
<Nikki> i guess the mirror image isnt very effective now
<Castinar> LoL
<Saif> But the roar of frustration might indicate he's not happy with whatever just happened
<Saif> Cast and Shadow also see (vagely) that there are now also several small points of light flitting around within the tunnel area, although they can't see them clearly.
<Saif> OK
<Saif> Average:
<Saif> So does shadow bother shooting?
<Saif> Ari's Protection from Evil spell goes off
<Saif> Cast - you also now have a problem - you can't directly see where you want to cast the spell. Do you have spellcraft or something like that?
<Castinar> *Um --- no, on Shadow
<Castinar> Distance sense <G>
<Castinar> and blindfighting<G>
<Castinar> um, no SC
<Saif> Do you want to try and put it in the same place?
<Castinar> yes
<Castinar> no
<Saif> * BTW, Sane is in the mist as well <WEG>
<Castinar> change mind <G>
<Saif> drop spell?
<Saif> you'll still loose it
<Saif> basically you can loose it or try to cast it where you think you wanted it targeted
<Castinar> Oh -- that's right -- (even innate?) If I lose, I'll cast anyways
<Saif> Yes, you started gathering the power
<Saif> OK, d20 please
<Castinar> db
<db> Castinar rolled 1d20: [8]
<Saif> Since you can't see it, you're not sure if it is where you wanted it or not.
<Saif> K, I think that is it - did I miss anybody - or does anybody with actions left want to react to the sudden fog?
<Sane> glide for last 1/4 of round to lose some altitude
<Amber> "Man its foggy up here!" Amber is surprised. :)
<Sane> that would lose about 20'
* Matar will move along the wall after noticing the fog.
<Nikki> * glass, fog, and who knows what's next? ill bet this dragon is sorry he screwed with the wild mage. <g>
<Saif> OK, hold for grid. No map <g>
<Thengal> *The Dragon?? or the party? <G>
<Nikki> all of youze!
<Xaveus> Xaveus will move towards where he thinks the wall was and continue forward using his hand as a guide, remembering that Amber is in his other hand, not the one he's scraping along the wall. :0
<Amber> hee hee
* Castinar grins
<Xaveus> :)
<Amber> yhanks
<Saif> OK, grid is up. I also put up a map with the last known locations of everybody, just before the fog gathered.
<Saif> Any questions?
<Nikki> whats the big black blob?
<Saif> That's where Castinar thinks he put his darkness spell
<Matar> how far can you crawl in a round?
<Nikki> foggy darkness
<Saif> Matar - that would be about 10'
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> R8 intenntions?
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Matar> hmm the same i can walk
* Kat will rely upon her slippers, dex, and skill to get off of this glass. She will move to ac29c
<Kat> Ari will use her innate ability of Detect Magic and try to find the dragon by all the spells it has activite. She will also adjust her position by a few feet to s26d
<Saif> Matar - belly slide <g>
* Matar walks at 1/4 along the wall.
<Matar> need momentum for that
<Nikki> geeze....
<Castinar> *Shadow examines the wall in immediate area -- if there are any ledges nearby, she will stow bow and climb to ledge
<Castinar> Hunter will continue to flap
<Kat> *(Actually, Kat just wants to get away from the wild mage. hehehe)
<Amber> Keeping X's fingers away from chest...:) taking a ride nd enjoying the not scenery.
* Sane will spiral down and land at AC30
<Xaveus> Continue forward along wall, as carefully as possible.
* Thengal will move to wall and use hand as a guide to continue through the fog/glass hazards. slow down as appropriate. don't know how far I'll get.
<Castinar> Castinar will quietly move along wall to AC20 and guard
<Saif> Matar - what direction do you walk? Towards the dragon or away from it?
<Saif> Cast - d100 please
<Castinar> db d100
<db> Castinar rolled 1d100: [56]
<Saif> Cast - no ledge in sight (then again, you can only see 10')
<Castinar> k
* Nikki will try to move to Z28 just off the edge of the glass.
<Xaveus> Matar, if you bump into something scaly, just say "Excuse me, and keep walking!"
<Saif> Matar - direction please
<Saif> Cast - what does shadow do then?
<Matar> towards
<Saif> Matar - check
<Castinar> *Shadow will hold arrow nocked -- ready to fire if dragon shows
<Nikki> * can i see through the fog with UV?
<Saif> * if the dragon shows a bow might not be the appropriate weapon <g>
<Kat> *A lightsabre would be
<Saif> Nikki - no, since it still needs a wavelength (even if it is outside visible light), and the fog blocks it as well
<Castinar> *that's assuming it doesn't "dissapate" the fog <G>
<Nikki> Does it block radar and sonar? :)
<Castinar> can't tell -- Hunter took off <G>
<Xaveus> Put your low beams on!
<Nikki> I don't have enough random senses! I need active radar, sonar, and uhm, something else!
<Saif> * just a sec, trying to figure out what the dragon would do
<Nikki> n-ray vision
<Nikki> * it would surrender. superior spell casting

<Saif> Kat, who is still moving at this point, hears Sane land somewhere ahead of her
<Saif> Shadow holds her position
<dshutton> nick Amber
*** dshutton is now known as Amber
<Saif> Ari tries to sense where the dragon is using her Detect Magic ability. She gasps slightly in surprise when the whole area feeds back to her as magical.
<Saif> So there's no way to isolate anything in here with detect magic
<Saif> So Ari steps back
<Saif> Diana holds her position and ponders this new development
<Saif> Castinar moves along the wall towards the dragon
<Saif> Thengal and Xaveus both move foward
<Saif> And then move along the wall
<Saif> Nikki begins to move off of the glass
<Saif> As she does so she hears a voice in her head. <Well, how very interesting. I must admit, I liked my lair before, but I think I'll enjoy this much better.>
<Nikki> * bastard.
<Saif> End of round, except for one thing
<Nikki> <You won't enjoy being dead>
<Saif> As Thengal moves along he suddenly realizes something is wrong (besides his perspetive at 18'). There isn't any glass under him.
<Amber> and the other shoe drops..
<Nikki> <Now if only I could remember that Fist Of Death spell...>
<Saif> <Actually I've considered the dracolich option once or twice. It could be interesting.>
<Matar> * Saif realises how much time he would save by killing us all off and there is a sudden meteor shower <G>
<Saif> K, end of round
<Saif> No map
<Saif> No real updates to the grid
<Thengal> No glass, or no anything??
<Saif> so, questions?
<Saif> Thengal - no glass under you, just normal rock
<Nikki> <Considered the dracocorpse option recently?>
<Saif> a chuckle. <My, you are a fiesty little one, aren't you? I may have to keep you around for a while as entertainment. Derro can be so droll.>
<Nikki> * Hey look! Insult it and you might live! <g>

* Matar walks at 1/2 along the wall.
<Kat> *sorry, on phone
<Kat> *is the map up?
<Amber> same as before, enjoying the ride though getting a bit anxious.
* Castinar moves quietly to AC17, again staying along wall
<Saif> No map, you guys can only see 10' around you
<Nikki> <When I grow bored of your nattering you'll suffer worse than a thousand deaths>
<Thengal> Continue moving south and east along wall, more sure of myself now that I know glass is just an illusion.
<Nikki> * hey buddy thats real glass.
<Castinar> Shadow will move to t22 and again check for ledges
* Sane will sneak (moving silently) along the south wall, hopefully going to about AC27/28, he will also Hide in Shadows.
<Thengal> <or I'm lost and heading in wrong direction>
<Saif> Thengal - pick up your pace to normal movement?
* Nikki moves entirely off the glass, hopefully.
<Thengal> to what ever is safe with this fog still here, is that still half movement??
<Saif> No, along the wall you can walk normal pace
<Xaveus> Continue forward
<Saif> Ari, Shadow, and Kat?
<Thengal> ok normal pace then
<Saif> ah, see Shadow above
<Xaveus> Could K-Harn maybe smell the beast?
<Kat> *Is the map current?
<Saif> Kat - not really, I won't be updating it since you guys can only see about 10' around you
<Saif> You don't know where you are compared to most everything
<Thengal> "xav, da glas be just illusion, ken ye feel dat it be rock under yer feet?
<Saif> Xaveus - nope, not from this distance, at least
<Kat> Ari will continue scan for monsters.
<Saif> Kat - how scan?
<Castinar> is using his blindfighting skills to utmost, trying to "feel" where it is before it strikes <G> guard after the 30' movement
<Kat> Ari will listen, magic, sight, she will pull sword and guard.
<Saif> And Kat?
* Kat will move up the wall 60' and look around.
<Saif> Define "up"
<Saif> oh, up as in up? <g> vertical?
<Xaveus> Xaveus will tap LuLu against the floor of cavern, (Will not tap ground with Amber, as she is in other hand. :)

<Saif> Shadow also moves along the wall

<Saif> she makes it to the edge of the glass
*** dshutton is now known as Amber
<Thengal> Welcome back Amber
<Amber> *sheesh! anyone still alive? :)
<Amber> *thanks
<Saif> Ari stands there, trying to sense something - anything. Magic sense is useless in here, sounds are muffled by the fog, and sight only goes out to 10'
<Thengal> We can't find dragon, it can't find us
<Saif> Still, she draws her sword and stands ready
<Nikki> * btw, if i go away, ill brb. testing out a questionable cd which reboots someone else's box.
<Saif> Diana just stands there, concentrating with a strange look on her face
<Saif> Castinar continues moving forward
<Saif> Xaveus - do you stop and tap with the hammer? Or keep moving?
<Saif> Thengal calls out to Xaveus that the glass is an illusion
<Saif> Thengal picks up the pace
<Xaveus> For a moment, yes,
<Saif> Which?
<Saif> Tap or move?
<Xaveus> Tap
<Saif> K
<Saif> Xaveus stops and taps. The glass cracks.
<Saif> Then Diana calls out. "Thengal! Where are you going? You're heading the wrong way? I can sense you moving away from Xaveus and myself."
<Saif> * that is near the end of the round
*** dshutton has joined #nightbelow
<Nikki> * well i guess that goes to show some of us set up our workstations better than others...
<Thengal> Oops
<Saif> The other thing that happens is the dragon talks with Nikki a bit more.
<dshutton> *dang it to hades! stuupid linenoise...
<Nikki> my new buddy
<Nikki> I think Ill polymorph him into a rabbit.
<Saif> <You know, this is really quite amusing. After all, I can still sense you all quite well, while you are all blundering around aimlessly in the fog. All I have to do is sit here and wait for your good friend Castinar to walk right into my jaws.>
*** dshutton is now known as Amber2
<Thengal> A miniature giant space hamster even
<Saif> <One by one I'll hunt you each down and dine.>
<Nikki> <Castinar? I don't have a .... oh yes, him. If that were so then why aren't you attacking anyone. You can't sense anything.>
*** Amber has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
*** Amber2 is now known as Amber
<Amber> *if this happens again I may not come back on...sigh.
<Nikki> <I start to grow weary of you>
<Nikki> <You brag, you boast, you cast, you fumble, yet no one dies. You call yourself a dragon?>
<Saif> <Then why don't you do something agressive, instead of making my lair more homey and turning the ground to glass. Quite an interesting spell, I must say, although the purpose behind it escapes me at the moment.>
<Nikki> <You'll find out later...>
<Saif> OK, I belive that's it
<Saif> questions?
<Sane> is this telepathic?
<Kat> *What does belive mean?
<Sane> Can Sane hear all this?
<Sane> Can everyone hear all that conversation?
<Saif> No, only Nikki, and it is telepathic
<Nikki> * Is the map updated? My version still has me in the middle of the glass... ?
<Saif> * belive means the DM is tired and not typing well - not to mention the fact that's one of his most frequently mistyped words
<Sane> *shouldn't we have at least our own positions updated?
<Thengal> Nope, I turn around and move in the direction I was intending to go. mindful, that there is glass up there somewhere
<Saif> Sane - that would be a royal pain for me - besides, you don't really know where you are.
<Saif> Sane, Cast, Shadow, Matar, Xaveus and Kat all know they are against a wall somewhere
<Sane> ok
<Saif> Ari and Diana are not by walls.
<Thengal> What, did I move away from the wall??
<Saif> Ah, Thengal is as well, although not quite the way he thinks he is <g>
<Thengal> Oh ok
<Saif> Actually I guess everybody except for Diana and Ari are against walls
<Saif> OK,

* Castinar moves to AC18 and guards again
<Saif> Nikki - you aren't really even aware of that spell
<Nikki> * just kidding.
<Amber> listen and be alert.
<Castinar> *Shadow to T21
<Castinar> Hunter is about to give up hope
<Nikki> * am I on glass or no?
<Kat> *Did Kat hear Thengal?
<Matar> * am i on glass or no?
* Sane casts Audible Glamer. He create the sound of various people moving forward toward the dragon at different points around the entrance. There are several different locations of noise, intended to cause the dragon to not know where any of the real party is. Sane will try to keep the noises at different spots from the actual party members, and no noise will come from his side of the tunnel.
<Thengal> as stated above, turn around and move toward glassy area
<Saif> Cast - so you step back?
<Saif> Oh, Cast, d100 for Shadow last round please
<Kat> Ari will slowly move forward along the wall to t25a. She will do her best to stay on her guard.
<Saif> Cast - Hunter is barely leaving the behir lair, just entering the tunnel beyond
<Sane> Aud Glam-- Rnge: 100 yds Dur: 12rds A of E: Hearing Comp: S CT: 1 ST: Spec (-2)
<Saif> Kat - Ari is out in the middle of the glass. Move her to the wall first?
<Xaveus> Amber since we are getting somewhat closer to the dragon, I think, do you want me to put you down, before I continue onward?
<Saif> Nikki - no, you made it off
<Kat> *How did she get there?
<Kat> *weird
<Saif> Kat - yes, everybody heard Thengal's bellow
<Amber> Yes, please do. Though I'd better get out of eveyones way comeing up behind us. thank you.

<Castinar> I step back?

<db> Castinar rolled 1d100: [70]
<Saif> Kat - Ari was very close to Nikki when Nikki turned the ground to glass. She hasn't move since
<Nikki> I turned Ari to glass???
<Kat> Ari will move to the wall then. I thought Ari was at s26d
<Castinar> heh -- did I lose track of where I was? <VBG>
* Matar walks at 1/2 along the wall.
<Xaveus> Xaveus sets Amber down, not his Hammer and continues forward, ;)
<Kat> *At least, that's where I requested her to move to the same round as the fog came in.
<Matar> btw im moving silently
<Castinar> Sorry -- move to AC16 and guard (1 square, no move action)
<Saif> Kat - I missed that, but so did you. You'll have to move her this round.
<Castinar> *lost track
<Xaveus> Any swirls, rushes of air, gusts, that sort of thing?
<Nikki> * Hey Saif, any chance I feel *LUCKY*? Got that LUCKY talent that I never mention except in times of dire need.
<Castinar> afk for sec --- need drink
<Saif> Cast - I had you at AC17 last round, so 18 would be back
* Kat will also say "That's not an illusion." Although, she doesn't want to say it too loud.
<Thengal> *Kat, you're not 4 times your size, shouldn't be a problem for you
<Castinar> yep -- I just scrolled back -- go with above (AC16 -- no move action -guard)
<Saif> Xaveus - no wind, no
<Saif> Xaveus and Amber - X do you put A down and then keep moving? Amber, do you follow? Or do you guys hold position this round?
<Amber> No, I don't follow...hug the wall and hold position.
<Xaveus> Put her down and continue forward, will tap at end of movement to hear if still on glass.
<Saif> K
<Saif> Anybody have any good ideas for Diana?
<Nikki> she should scream and stomp around and attract a lot of attention
<Saif> "Eat me!!"
<Castinar> checking
<Thengal> How about have her move along wall to help out Matar
<Nikki> "Help! I'm all alone in the deep dark forest and *completely* defenseless! Oh woe! Who will help me?!"
<Kat> She should mediate on improving her dex for the next turn or two. She will need it to run out of here.
*** Castinar has quit IRC (Leaving)
<Matar> have her move towards a wall?
<Thengal> Yup, time for me to reconnect too
<Saif> Sure, why not, at least move to find Thengal
<Kat> Diana could throw fireballs in random directions. (read from scroll)
*** Thengal has quit IRC (Leaving)
<Matar> think the dragon will let us go if it was full?
<Sane> fireballs would be good
<Saif> How many adventurers does it take to fill up a dragon?

<Saif> Matar moves
<Saif> Katinra moves
*** Thengal has joined #nightbelow
<Saif> Sane casts Audible Glamer
<Saif> Shadow moves and checks for a ledge
<Saif> db d100
<db> Saif rolled 1d100: [24]
<Saif> db d100
<db> Saif rolled 1d100: [42]
<Saif> doesn't find one
<Saif> Ari moves to the wall
<Saif> And finds herself next to Amber, who Xaveus just put down
<Saif> Xaveus moves on
<Saif> Diana also move to the wall, where she waits for Thengal to show up
<Saif> Castinar moves forward a little more, then guards
*** Castinar has joined #nightbelow
<Saif> Nikki walks forward until she runs into a wall
<Saif> And thengal moves back towards the party
<Saif> But things do get interesting this round
<Saif> The dragon apparently believes Castinar has gotten close enough to deal with
<Saif> It comes rushing out of the fog at the Ranger, attacking him before he can get his guard up
<Castinar> HuH?
<Saif> Castinar looses his last three stoneskins
<Saif> * init - party slow, dragon fast - for real this time
<Saif> The dragon then attacks again - which could spell the end of the intrepid ranger...
<Castinar> ?
<Saif> * let's see, the dragon needs a 3 to hit. Any bets?
<Saif> * Cast, what are you questioning?
<Castinar> If I'm guarding, I should get attack as soon as it enters melee range
<Saif> You moved in the Fast phase and then set up to Guard in the Average phase. It won initiative and attacked in the Average phase, so before you could start to guard.
<Sane> *also, does Sane's spell have any distracting effect on the dragon or does he simply make a beeline for Cast?
<Thengal> Yup, dragon moved into threatened square, he should get attack of opportunity
<Castinar> Wait a sec -- I did a one square "free" move -- it was a no - move action. the One move comes at end of round
<Castinar> *Not that it really matters -- but I did think I'd get a chance at a MI before I periched <G>
<Saif> moving from AC17 to AC16 is a 10' move
<Saif> But I'll give you one attack, roll
<Xaveus> Good luck
<Sane> *also, does Sane's spell have any distracting effect on the dragon or does he simply make a beeline for Cast?
<Castinar> db
<db> Castinar rolled 1d20: [1]
<Nikki> uh oh
<Castinar> :cackles
<Amber> groan
<Saif> Sane - it has been "watching" Castinar approach for several rounds, so the AG didn't fool it
<Castinar> *stupid sword
<Saif> You, ah, want to recover from that?
<Saif> or try to?
<Sane> 10' visibility
<Nikki> killing self which causes the dragon to fall into hysterics and swallow its tongue and die on the spot.
<Castinar> *even with the boots and cloak?
<Xaveus> got any free rolls?
<Castinar> well, the boots, anyways
<Saif> * the fun thing is his level is real low now
<Castinar> db
<db> Castinar rolled 1d20: [5]
<Saif> Cast - if you want to be sneaking you need to point that out, not just "move foward" but "move forward silently with the boots"
<Sane> *fun is a matter of perspective
<Castinar> I've been saying move silently -- why I was moving so slowly
<Sane> 10' visibility; can Dragon 'watch' cast?
<Saif> Sane-== he can, OK?
* Castinar doesn't doubt it
<Xaveus> Oops
<Sane> ok
<Saif> OK, I'll leave Castinar alone then. that means the dragon was zeroing in on the other one moving towards it - Shadow
<Xaveus> With our Combat Empathy to we feel Cast's waves of despair?
<Saif> The dragon attacks Shadow six times total, bringing all her stoneskins down
<Saif> * BTW, through the Combat Empathy everybody would sense that Shadow is being attacked
<Castinar> dagnab it, now I can't load the map :(
<Saif> Map hasn't been updated in several rounds
<Kat> *what?
<Nikki> fog
<Xaveus> Do we sense that Shadow has been attacked and approximately where?
<Kat> *Are Casitnar and Shadow next to each other
<Saif> See above, and yes on general location
<Saif> No, Cast and Shadow are on opposite sides of the tunnel
<Kat> *So, the dragon didn't attack Castinar?
<Castinar> there I go... got it
<Saif> OK, any questions?
<Saif> db
<db> Saif rolled 1d20: [6]
<Saif> Sane hears something in his head now. <Interesting distraction there, but did you really think _I_ would fall for such a _simple_ spell?>
<Saif> then to Nikki <Hey, where are you going? I'm about to eat one of your friends, just like you asked me to.>
<Sane> *Sane grabs his crotch and gives the dragon a pelvic thrust.
<Saif> * unfortunatley the dragon's senses aren't that good
<Nikki> <You're bluffing.>
<Saif> oops, hold on a minute. I've got to go print a new initiative sheet.
<Saif> Take a 5 minute break
<Nikki> <All wind, not stones.>
<Kat> brb
<Amber> ahhh! comic break!
<Amber>
<Nikki> * Tharg would be eating dragon burgers right now... Why the hell did I switch characters?
<Kat> *Wild mages can make the dragon a familiar?
<Nikki> *That'd be a hell of a surge
<Nikki> * Then I'd be singing, "Me... and my..... shhaaaaaadddoooow" heh
<Kat> *What as Nikki trying to cast at the dragon?
<Nikki> 2 dispel magics so far
<Kat> *So, the dragon had to be the target, not one of the mirror images
<Kat> *Too bad it didnt work.
<Nikki> got some pretty glass and a nice fog delay
<Nikki> i was figuring most of us would be dead by round 7 and here we are all alive! <g>
<Kat> *That's to the fog.
<Kat> *Thanks to the fog
<Nikki> i dont mind.
<Nikki> wonder how far the fog goes
<Kat> At least 50' up
<Saif> Back
<Kat> Under innate abilities, what is rep inj?
<Nikki> hey look how badly i screwed up the map with only 2 spells... ive got 10 more!
<Saif> any other questions?
<Sane> Saif, since we know roughly where Castinar is, can we get a rough idea where the dragon is? at least the 'attacking parts'?
<Saif> Kat - where? Ari?
<Kat> Yes, Ari
<Nikki> afk 1 minute.
<Nikki> brb
<Saif> Sane - roughly, yes
<Sane> and that is?
<Saif> Kat - her healing NWP is very advanced, allowing her to repair injury as per the spell rather than just do healing
<Saif> Sane - head is near Shadow, that's about all you know
<Sane> where's shadow?
<Saif> And Shadow is around T22, give or take 10' in either direction
<Saif> You can also sense that Matar is getting close to Kat
<Kat> *No way is Matar getting close to Kat
<Saif> sorry, close to Shadow
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> R11 intentions?
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
* Kat is going to move up another 60'.
<Amber> guard
<Kat> Ari is going to... where is Ari?
<Amber> by me
<Amber> wall
<Saif> Ari is against the far wall
<Thengal> Move toward Shadow as far as I can with all these hinderances around me
<Matar> T22?!? am i still on glass?
<Saif> Matar - yes, you'll be off it next round
<Saif> Thengal - do you slow down over the glass when you reach it?
<Kat> Ari is going to figure out where she is compared to everyone else and try to figure out where everyone else is located. She guards. She adjusts her postion 5ft closer to exit along wall.
<Thengal> Yes, I'll have to
<Xaveus> How bout Xaveus?
<Thengal> I'm sorry, I thought I was on the glass last round
* Matar stops and silently waits where he is thinking small insignificant thoughts.
<Saif> What about xaveus? he senses that he is a good 40' or so away from Shadow, moving at about 30' per round
<Nikki> madness
<Nikki> Am I at the wall?
<Castinar> Cast will move to X19, and try to find some part of the beast to attack
<Xaveus> Will continue forward at best possible speed.
<Saif> Nikki - yes
<Saif> Xaveus - best possible _safe_ speed?
<Nikki> do I have any clue whatsoever if I headed in the southerly direction or not?
<Castinar> A nice, tender wing would be nice <G>
<Saif> which is the 30' per round?
<Castinar> Shadow will....
<Saif> Nikki - you believe so, yes
<Xaveus> Correct
<Nikki> Do you have the large map of the area online somewhere?
<Saif> lair.gif under the /i directory (or go to the web pages, the Resource page)
<Saif> Still need Sane, Shadow, and Nikki
<Xaveus> There really doesn't seem to be a safe speed, but hammer is cocked as Xaveus feels that he is getting close.
<Nikki> one sec
<Castinar> Shadow will pray -- then use tumbling skill to move backwards (back onto glass stuff) and away from it
<Sane> *want to see what Nikki's going to do
* Nikki follows the wall to the left
<Sane> *which wall, north or south?
<Saif> Hey, there's a good question - can somebody with the Tumbling NWP use it to withdraw (move away without provoking an AoO)?
<Sane> *I would think so
<Castinar> *Think so -- checking
<Kat> According to your ruling on Kat's Leap, no way.
<Thengal> Thats the intent of the defensive tumbling maneuver
<Saif> I don't think it says so, but if it is your only action I'm willing to allow it.
<Saif> BTW, that means she drops her bow, right?
<Sane> *Is Nikki on north or south wall?
<Saif> Nikki is on the south wall
<Castinar> yes
* Sane will take off flying/sprinting along the wall, staying about 10' away. He will head out of the cavern.
<Saif> Nikki - left on the map, away from the dragon?
<Saif> Sane - over the dragon?
<Nikki> ya
<Sane> along south wall
<Saif> Sane - and hug the wall all the way round?
<Castinar> nothing in C&T about it
<Sane> Dragon is along north wall right?
<Saif> Sane - yes
<Nikki> like i walk into the wall and follow to the left which would be east
<Saif> Nikki - check
<Saif> Nikki- normal walking speed? Normal move for you?
<Sane> Sane flies along south wall, sprinting out of here
<Nikki> fastest safe speed. i have the wall to follow
<Saif> k
<Nikki> trying to get out of the fog to get a bearing.
<Xaveus> Or save feathers?
<Sane> he stays about 10' from wall and gets about 75' high, if possible this round.
<Nikki> combat empathy should then give the others an idea of where they are relative to me and the cave walls, etc
<Saif> OK

<Saif> VF:
<Saif> Kat heads up. She finds that the fog is still there up to 110'
<Saif> Fast:
<Saif> Matar holds his position and thinks small thoughts
<Saif> Sane takes off and begins flying at top speed. How high do you want to get? (1:1 on ascent)
<Sane> 20' this round
<Saif> OK

<db> Sane rolled 1d20: [16]
<Saif> K
<Saif> Shadow tumbles backwards, moving away from the dragon without provoking an attack of opportunity
<Saif> She manages to tumble right next to Matar
<Saif> Ari uses her CE to try and get a better picture of where everybody is
<Saif> Thengal moves back to the glass, where he finds Diana waiting for him. Together the two move onto the glass.
<Saif> Castinar moves out into the tunnel, hoping to find and attack the dragon. He doesn't make contact with it by the time he makes it to X19
<Nikki> Nikki finds a teleporter to the surface.
<Matar> * shadow didnt actually get hurt did she?
<Saif> Amber guards
<Saif> Xaveus moves forward
<Saif> passing Matar and Shadow
<Saif> * BTW, Xaveus would be a rather interesting picture right now - an 18' tall "Thing"
<Thengal> *in platemail
<Kat> *Too bad we can't see him
<Saif> Nikki starts moving quickly away from the dragon
<Xaveus> To bad I can't hit like the Thing.
<Saif> About this time Sane gets the sense that something is "wrong"
<Nikki> OOOOOH.... NOW he gets that sense!
<Saif> He continues on for a short distance, and then suddenly realizes he is getting farther away from Castinar, not closer to him.
<Xaveus> Xaveus has known that from the start
<Saif> Turn around?
<Sane> wait a second
<Saif> yes?
<Thengal> *same thing that happened to me
<Sane> Castinar is moving toward the dragon and shadow, right?
<Saif> Yup
<Castinar> You've been enspelled <G>
<Saif> But that is pretty much at a right angle to your movement vector
<Sane> And Sane is supposed to be headed west, while Castinar is north, right?
<Saif> right
<Sane> So, Castinar *should* be getting further away, right?
<Saif> but even with that you should be getting closer on the X axis, which you arent
<Sane> alright, turn around, stay close to south wall, head out, x3
<Saif> OK, you sense you haven't passed Kat yet and in fact are moving away from her, but last you knew she was between you and the dragon
<Xaveus> Plot a solution, one ping only! :)
* Nikki attempts to disbelieve this entire episode. :)
<Xaveus> Does Nikki wake up in the shower?
<Nikki> With Ari.
<Saif> lol
<Saif> Dragon's turn!
<Xaveus> Everybody ends up in the shower with Ari.
<Saif> Deprived of the nice soft Shadow, he has to settle for the hard and nasty Xaveus
<Saif> It attacks with its CCB routine, the bite being the...
<Saif> db d3
<db> Saif rolled 1d3: [1]
<Saif> first attack
<Kat> *Ari comments, "That was some wild magic spell that changed you into a male drow. I kinda like you now."
<Xaveus> I do believe I have LuLu cocked
<Saif> Xaveus' stoneskins protect him from the first two attacks
<Saif> but the last claw gets through
<Saif> * Xaveus - you are doing full moves here, no attack possible with that
<Xaveus> ok
<Saif> db
<db> Saif rolled 1d20: [2]
<Saif> the dragon hits

<Saif> Cast - swing
<Saif> * actually it doesn't matter - one of the MIs vanishes
<Saif> end of round - did I miss anybody?
<Saif> questions? working on grid and a sorta map
<Xaveus> It can attack me but I can't attack it, correct?
<Castinar> db
<db> Castinar rolled 1d20: [5]
<Nikki> MI works in the fog?
<Nikki> now is a good time for the Gaze Reflection spell so I dont have to see it happening :)
<Xaveus> db
<db> Xaveus rolled 1d20: [20]
<Castinar> ? how much longer <VBG> -- I'm drifting
<Saif> OK, map and grid are up. The map is your general locations as determined by Ari using the Combat Empathy spell. You also know that those along the north are against a wall, as are those along the south.
<Kat> *Just get closer to the real dragon.
<Saif> Questions?
<Nikki> how big are those square?
<Nikki> s
<Saif> How much longer do you guys want to go?
<Saif> 10' squares
<Amber> *I had to turn off program to see the webpage...ahh, I am a bit tired...
<Kat> *Until the dragon is dead.... hahahaha
<Nikki> death!
<Nikki> to the death!
<Matar> saif: do i think a large dose of bull-rush(sleep/coma) would have any effect on Senor Dragon?
<Saif> You know, this combat would have been _real_ fun without the Combat Empathy <g>
<Nikki> i just wouldve kept casting RD until it was resolved one way or the other....
<Kat> *
<Saif> matar - you doubt if you have enough. This thing probably weighs as many tons as you do pounds. (Well, maybe not that much)
<Kat> *And you still will, Nikki.
<Sane> *let's go as long as possible
<Sane> *I can continue as long as you like
<Saif> So, I've seen two "I'm tireds" and a bunch of "fight on!"s. So, we press on.
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> R12 intentions
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
* Sane continues along the south wall fly/sprinting (x3) to the west as best as he can judge. He will climb another 30' this round and be at a full speed of 270' (less 30' for climbing or 240' movement). Sane will make sure to keep Xaveus, Matar, etc. to the north of him. If he notices that this isn't the case, he'll turn around again.
<Castinar> ATTTAAACCCKKKK!!!! (x2) <G>
<Castinar> Shadow will get up
<Amber> move regular movement rate along wall in direction of dragon...can't see map for #'s.
<Kat> Ari is going to move along the wall towards the exit. (s22a she does not want to give the dragon a free attack. So, she will be careful in that area.)
<Thengal> Continue towards the fighting, push my speed up a bit to get to t24 at end of round
<Saif> Amber - normal rate, or safe rate on glass (1/2 normal)
* Matar dig in my herb kit and grab all 8 doses of Bull-Rush and both of the asarabacca doses. If it eats me maybe i can at least put it into a food coma.
* Kat moves to ac17.
<Saif> Kat - Ari's movement rate - safe speed?
<Amber> oh, didn't know I was on glass...hum...normal
<Kat> 65'
<Kat> from battle grid
<Saif> Kat - so not slowing down considering she's on the glass? Safe movement rate against the wall is 1/2, or just over 30' for her.
<Kat> Ari will move normal rate. She wants to get off the glass.
<Saif> check
<Xaveus> Xaveus will meld into stone, then try to catch it off guard from the off side.
<Saif> Nikki - you continue moving along?
<Nikki> need my Q answered.
<Nikki> doing something different
<Matar> * ive got a long day tomorrow so im gonna head towards bed - next round ill backup 10ft and hold there - if i sense that the dragon is on the other side of the room ill move forward again
<Saif> Matar - K, thanks
<Amber> bye
<Nikki> gnite
<Kat> see ya Matar
<Matar> *if thengal gets his act together ill hand him the herbs and tell him to feed them to the dragon
<Sane> later George
<Matar> nite all
<Thengal> ok George
<Castinar> Nite
<Amber> *zzzzz....
<Sane> *hellooo
<Thengal> Still here
<Saif> Sorry, talking about a spell
<Saif> I'll solicit some input
<Sane> *it works great on dragons
<Sane> *how's that for input
<Saif> When a caster uses the Wraithform does this simply shift them to the border ethereal for a time?
<Castinar> dont' think so
<Saif> What does "insubstantial" mean here - shifted mostly off this plane, or just ghost-like.
<Castinar> it's still prime material -- wraiths aren't part of BE (Like ghosts)
<Amber> ghost-like
<Sane> ghost like
<Castinar> ghost like, but still on this plane
<Saif> The real question is can a mage cast another spell while in wraithform
<Castinar> ghosts are partially on border ethereal
<Castinar> Uhmmm...
<Sane> yes
<Amber> tentive, yes
<Kat> *one dm I play with, didn't allow me to cast spells that require material components. The components were in strange form, bad for spell casting.
<Sane> spell description doesn't mention it?
<Saif> Why yes? How? If they are insubstantial how can they form the words or gestures?
<Castinar> depends on components?
<Saif> Spell says that "no form of attack is possible"
<Sane> what level spell?
<Kat> *Verbal and hand waving was fine.
<Thengal> 3rd, and the spell does say that specifically
<Castinar> Okay -- fully on prime plane --- else, they wouldn't need "small cracks" to pass through walls
<Amber> non attack spells might work...verbal and hand should also.
<Saif> So while in wrathform you can still make noises? How?
<Castinar> *And, no form of attack is possible, I would say no to spells
<Saif> Good point Cast
<Amber> ghost moan somehow, why not wraiths?
<Saif> (the cracks thing)
<Saif> I'm leaning towards no spells too, but Judd is arguing it <g>
<Castinar> Only thing you can affect is something in deep ethereal
<Nikki> im just sitting here. :)
<Nikki> i think 'self' target spells should be ok.
<Sane> Yes the wraithformed wizard is in the border ethereal. No the wizard cannot attack.
<Nikki> otherwise it'd say "no spells".
<Sane> with spells or otherwise
<Saif> Attack is clear, but what about spells that don't attack - "self" spells
<Sane> It says, no attacks of any type.
<Nikki> i wont be attacking myself :)
<Castinar> Okay, from what I know of the planes, and the way the spell is written, (thouggh somewhat contradictory), you are on border ethereal -- can only affect something that is ethereal
<Sane> It think it's a game mechanic to limit the spell's power
<Castinar> as far as spells, you can cast spells which affect nothing on the prime -- so you could affect yoruself
<Castinar> how that spell would "follow" you back to the prime when you return depends on spell
<Nikki> by the time you get the spell it doesn't have any combat effect anyway. everything can still hit you.
<Kat> *I think Sane is right. I think self spells should be fine.
<Sane> Self spells ok.
<Castinar> *as he reads the Book of the Ethereal plane <G>
<Thengal> If you can attack something on ethereal plane, then you should be able to cast a spell on yourself
<Saif> OK, so spells that would work on the border ethereal will work, but the effect cannot cross the planar boundry, which is why no attacks are possible, unless against something in the same plane as the caster - the border ethereal.
<Sane> yeah
<Castinar> basically, yep
<Saif> However, the caster still has some presense on the prime, since it can't move through walls like somebody all the way in the ethereal could.
<Saif> OK, be happy Judd <g>
<Sane> and can see and hear things
<Saif> So, Judd, understanding that, what does Nikki do?
<Saif> * BTW, I'm starting to fade too, so this will be the last round tonight.
<Sane> and can possess young girls and make their heads spin around
* Nikki uses her free magic to cast Wraithform
* Saif waves his hand in front of Judd's monitor

<Kat> Ari would like to be off the glass, if possible.

<Castinar> Lol -- that's an understatement <G>
<Saif> Just as Ari walks up Xaveus turns to the stone wall at his back and slowly slides into it
<Kat> Ari is thinking, 'You can ignore me mister dragon. I'm just a friendly drow with a bounty on my head, just passing by.'
<Kat> After watching Xav go into the stone, Ari wishes she could do that.
<Saif> OK, where is the Stone Walk spell???
<Saif> Found it (specific for Xaveus)
<Nikki> * Ok, I've had enough of this. This next turn I change the dragon into a rabbit and we leave.
<Saif> Nikki becomes a border-ethereal-mostly wraith

<Saif> and takes out another mirror image
<Castinar> hey -- I can hit something!!! <VBG>
<Saif> Due to Xaveus's disappearance Ari finds herself nose to nose with the dragon, all by herself
<Saif> It grins at her and attacks
<Saif> However, somewhat to the relief of everybody who realizes this through the link, it only attacks with one series of CCBs this round, not two as it has been doing.
<Kat> Ari uses her allure to convince the dragon that it doesn't have to do that.
<Saif> And Ari's stoneskins block all of the attacks
<Castinar> *somewhat is right ....
<Saif> The dragon bellows, starting to get frustrated by these stoneskins
<Saif> and, I believe that is the end of the round
<Saif> questions?
<Castinar> how many images left? (5, with one real?)
<Sane> will it be possible to get a map update eventhough we're stopping here?
<Thengal> Think it's 3 with one real
<Amber> how much room is there between the ground and the underside of the dragon? ie. room for Amber to run under and into the tunnel behind it?
<Castinar> Cool
* Castinar yawns
<Castinar> gotta sleep, all

<Saif> OK, map is up

<Amber> I'll look at map later.
<Saif> Amber - around the head and neck there is room, but not under the body itself
<Amber> oh, okay sigh...there goes that thought.
<Saif> Xaveus - fine. She's starting to look around and get mad a lot. I don't think she's pleased about being here. <g>
<Amber> give the wee one a hug for me...providing she's awake that is. :)
