Tavolk's D&D campaign

tavolk: All is black
[22:27] tavolk: All is dark
[22:27] tavolk: All there is is the void
[22:28] tavolk: A flash of light in a realm of nothingness and there is the world.
[22:29] tavolk: Many years pass.
[22:29] tavolk: Countries rise and fall.
[22:29] tavolk: Whole continents fall from the bubble that is creation and vanish into nothing
[22:31] tavolk: Then one fatefull day, on the floating island known as Unat there are 3 flashes.
[22:34] tavolk: 3 bodies are hurled out of nothingness and into reality and land in a pile in grassy clearing.
[22:35] tavolk: One body a human
[22:35] tavolk: One an elf
[22:35] tavolk: And one rather smug looking Kobold that managed to land on top of the other two.
[22:36] Spiritcurse: "Gah! Get off, you damn dirty lizard!"
[22:36] Dorian: "Grak trak frak, elf!" I stand up and brush my robes down.
[22:37] Dark: I simply mutter a series of curses as I push you further away "Not the best way to intraduce you're self ay?"
[22:37] Spiritcurse: "If you've broken any of my stuff, lizard..."
[22:39] Dorian: I scratch at my throat briefly, "Then what? You'll stab me, is that it?"
[22:39] Dark: I wave the hilt of my staff towards him, gesturing for him to keep clear of me
[22:40] Spiritcurse: "Oh, more than that. I'll melt your face off."
[22:40] Dorian: "What, you're a caster too?"
[22:40] Spiritcurse: "But of course. A specialist, if you must know."
[22:41] Dorian: "In?"
[22:41] Spiritcurse: "Parachronal metaphysics, not like you'd understand."
[22:42] Dark: I grunt as I hold my hands up "In this hand I be holding the power of life, and in this one i be holding death...or was it the other way around?"
[22:42] Spiritcurse: "Don't make that mistake when it comes to slapping this kobold about."
[22:44] Dark: "Aye...but would it be a mistake?"
[22:44] Spiritcurse: "Depends whether he's broken my stuff."
[22:44] Dorian: "Ah. I've got a bit of an idea about that, if you must know. Personally, I'm more interested in Inter-Planar Potential Transfer for the purpose of non-psionic psychokinetic transfer, but that's just me."
[22:45] Spiritcurse: "Have your group managed to resolve the static residuum problem with long term planar displacement devices yet?"
[22:47] Dorian: "Not as of yet, although we're close to a noticable reduction in the ectoplasmic build up in the soul and we can extract some of the residuum without too many negative effects, but, like I said, it's not quite done yet. You might have heard of me. Professor Drak-Drak, at your service."
[22:48] Spiritcurse: "Doctor Tezzaki, Chronomancer. Pleased to make your acquaintance. Currently working on reverse parachronic travel, specifically how to do some without incurring the inevitables."
[22:50] Dorian: "Ah. Yeah, met them. Not fun. Much preffer Sarrukhs. At least, in theory. Haven't met one yet, although exactly that is what I'm planning on doing as soon as possible. Gotta get my power from somewhere."
[22:51] Spiritcurse: "Understandable. I'm sure you'd be fascinated by some of the research in my department - one man uses his parachronal abilities to draw power from his future self."
[22:52] Dorian: "Well... Theoretical power loop, providing infinite power?"
[22:53] Dark: I start to mubble somthing in irritaion at your talking, holding my hands to gether and then dropping them to allow a large shape to rise from the ground
[22:53] Spiritcurse: "Effectively, yes. However, the head of department stepped in after a while, he's only allowed two days in advance. That was a fun day."
[22:55] Dorian: "Ah. I see the point there. Exponential power, exponential casualties. However, I do believe our esteemed... collegue? is doing something. Prehaps we'd better pay attention?"
[22:56] Dark: I continue to mumble as i sway my fingers around before raising them into the air quickly and causing an explosion of white light, out of which a large brown spider leaps and lands inches away from the Kobold, snapping its pincers and banging its legs against the ground
[22:57] Dark: "This be me mate Jeff" I grin "He dun like it when people talk about stuff we dun care about so if ye could kindly shut up and tell us where we are then I'm sure he will calm down"
[22:57] tavolk: As the spider appears you hear a yell from beside the clearing. A nervous kobold skitters away shreiking somehting as it runs.
[22:57] Spiritcurse: "Well. An interesting use of Ridcali's Least Invocation of Summoning, I must admit. Also, that a friend of yours?"
[22:58] Dark: "Bloody lizards, Jeff...mind sorting him out?" i gesture for the spider to pursue
[22:58] tavolk: From off in the distance you hear the louder noises of many more Kobolds
[22:58] Dorian: "What, me? Don't confuse tribes, idiot! The clue is in the scale colour! Mine are mauve, his were more burnt unber!"
[22:58] Dark: "Errr Jeff...scratch dat"
[22:58] Spiritcurse: "... I see."
[22:59] tavolk: A purple missile flies into the clearing hitting the ground by your feet. Its followed by a mob of 7 kobolds.
[22:59] Spiritcurse: "Well, that's just impolite. Professor, what do you propose we do?"
[23:00] Dark: The spider clicks and snaps and i chuckle, clenching my hand around my staff "Jeff allways has the good plans"
[23:00] Dorian: "Introduce them to Mondekainen's first law of Thermodynamics, Doctor. Introduce them to Mondekainen's first law of Thermodynamics."
[23:01] Spiritcurse: "I fully agree. I also propose a demonstration of Leonardo's principle of bodily separation."
[23:01] tavolk: Through the dirt cloud from the impact you glimpse a kobold and a trogoladite at the edge of the clearing. The kobold, obviously the source of the missile, is wearing a tattered pointed hat that is much to big for him.
[23:02] Dorian: "That would also be a good idea. In which case..." I raise a hand, and summon some fire around it, "Class is now in session!"
[23:02] Dark: "Ye thinking wat I'm thinking Jeff?" I grin before cupping my hands again, spilling out a thick mist around my body
[23:06] Spiritcurse: I pull a handful of blue and red wool from my pocket, humming slightly to myself.
[23:06] Dorian: I move my hand around in a quick pattern and palm-strike forwards, the flame burting forward towards the Kobolds.
[23:09] tavolk: The closest three kobolds to Professer Drak are enveloped in flame. They survive. Barely. The other Kobolds eye the party obviously more weary to their strange powers.
[23:11] Spiritcurse: Whipping my hands into the air, I am enveloped in a explosion of multicoloured light. The light coalesces after a few seconds into a large demon, his eyes burning with hatred, sword ready to strike. His other arm holds a terrible serrated whip, and I roar as he spreads his wings.
[23:12] Spiritcurse: "Surrender, or be destroyed by the powers of hell!" I scream towards the kobolds.
[23:17] tavolk: Seeing the Demonic image infront of them the Kobolds cry out in unified terror. Most throw their weapons to the ground some even attempt to flee but are unable to find their legs.
[23:18] tavolk: In the background the Trog calmly hisses and walks way into the forest.
[23:20] tavolk: The Kobold with the pointed hat turns to see his commonder fleeing, Barks after him, then rushes forward hurling another purple missile towards Tezzaki.
[23:21] tavolk: The missile strikes home throwing him to the ground.
[23:22] Spiritcurse: "Gah! You will pay for your impudence, mortal!"
[23:23] tavolk: The kobolds on the ground whine even louder.
[23:23] Dark: Clicking my fingers as I raise my staff agaisnt one of the whining Kobolds, I send Jeff running towards the mage
[23:23] Spiritcurse: "You still have a chance! Join me, and your pitiful lives will be spared!"
[23:28] Dark: I swing my staff down and grin as i hear the satisfying crunch of lizard skull shattering before booting the dead creature to the ground
[23:36] Dark: The mage Kobold fairs little better, vanising beneath Jeff as it is dragged to the ground and torn apart in a chours of cracking bone and tearing flesh
[23:40] Dorian: I glance around, and, surreptitiously taking a small step to the side into the illusion of the demon, project my fire once again, attempting to make it seem as if the flames are coming from the demon's mouth.
[23:41] Dorian: The flames immolate the Kobolds, leaving only small piles of rather sorry-looking ash.
[23:44] Spiritcurse: Still hiding myself within a coil of flame, I draw a small crossbow from my robes. As the "demon" lunges with its sword, a kobold falls to the ground with a slight "twang", which I mask by shouting incoherently. The demon arches its back and flexes its wings, while I chuckle demonically.
[23:48] tavolk: The kobolds ,unable to overcome their fear, beg for mercy from the demon. Among their hurried pleas you hear mention of a rich and powerfull prisoner of their Trog masters.
[23:48] Spiritcurse: Still masking my voice as the demon, I bellow "Who is this prisoner, pitiful fools?"
[23:50] tavolk: The kobolds scream out in their native tounge in panick at being noticed by the fearsome beast.
[23:51] Dark: Muttering somthing about "Damned eye tricks" I walk over to where Jeff is happily munching on the mage, seeming to absentmidedly poke my staff out where it would strike a pleeing Kobold's head in just the right place to cave it in. I dont even seem to notice it fall to the ground as i walk past
[23:52] tavolk: as the party moves to surround the kobold his chatteing increase
[23:53] Spiritcurse: I stay hidden behind a tree, instead moving the demon. I bellow again "Speak of the prisoner or die, worm."
[23:55] tavolk: The kobold chatters quickly in his launguage. Then realising you don't know what he is saying he quickly repeats himself in the common tongue. "She is the daughter of the ruler of these lands, our masters hold her captive in a cave. Just folow the trail into the forest!"
[23:56] Dark: I dont even seem to notice the scene going on behind me as i use the butt of my staff to prod Jeff away from the dead mage long enough to pick up the hat, brush a bit of blood and bone from it and place it on my head, allowing Jeff to return to its meal, sitting down beside it
[23:57] Spiritcurse: The demon shrinks rapidly into a ball of blue and white light, encircling the head of goblin and leading back to me. Lights rapidly flash in front of him as I step out, muttering a simple phrase. "Your will is mine, kobold."
[23:59] tavolk: The kobold yells "YES MASTER"
[00:00] Spiritcurse: "Good. You will obey me." The lights fade, materializing as a small dragon sat beside me.
[00:08] tavolk: The kobold leads his new master and his friends down the path deeper into the forest.

[21:10] Stabby Mc Stab Stab spun, plunging his spear into Tezzaki's side.
[21:11] The elven chronomancer cried out in agony before exploding in a white hot light that burnt away his asailant aswell as the enchanted Kobold who was leading them down the trail
[21:15] The light engulfs the party flash blinding you all for a moment
[21:16] from the distance you hear the agitated shouts of a large number of kobolds. They must have been closer than you thought.
[21:19] I frown at the sound, glancing back to where Jrff is hanging from my back like a morbid backpack
[21:19] <@Karm> "Never back down! WARRGHHHH!" i scream
[21:20] Several small spears are thrown towards the sound of your scream
[21:20] They bounce harmlessly off your armour
[21:24] Nodding to Jeff, the spider detatches itself from me and walks to stand beside me as i raise my staff and cup my hands
[21:26] <@Karm> i walk forwards and lift my axe on to my shoulder wait for them to come to me
[21:27] The kobolds stay behind their walls and launch another volley of spears
[21:29] The spears rain down across your armour but fail to harm you
[21:31] The kobolds hide in their small fort. It has wooden walls and seems to be build around the entrence to a cave. You know this to be where your path lies.
[21:31] my body flashes slightly as the spell wraps around me before i level my staff and glance at Grol. "Ya Orcs like dis sort of thing aye?"
[21:32] <@Karm> "Yup!" i grin
[21:43] I shoot a blast of energy out but the shot flies over the head of one of Kobolds and i curse. I click my fingers and shake them in irritation whilst Jeff sends out a chours of clikcing that sounds almost like laughing
[21:43] "Oh shut up ya damn spider" I grunt
[21:46] Jeff clicks and stays still as I glance to the orc "You make us a hole Then I get in and start the true battle"
[21:47] <@Karm> "Gottcha!!" i shout and charge forward
[21:49] <@Karm> i ran into the wooden wall and knock it flat leaving a large dent where my head was
[21:50] "Orcs" I mutter to Jeff "An interesting idea of the phrase 'use your head'"
[21:51] <@Karm> "Done it!" i shout back to Nomine
[21:52] Another rain of spears hits the half orc some this time are aimed towards the human and his fearsome spider
[21:54] "Good lad!" I call back
[21:57] The spears are blocked by the orc's armour but one manages to hit between the scales digging deep into his chest
[21:57] the spears hedaing for jeff bounce of his new armoured back
[21:58] <@Karm> i heard a thud and look down......only to see a spear shaft "Ouch?"
[21:58] one of the 2 spears thrown at Vitam hits him but he manages to dodge the other one
[22:00] I curse as I stumble and kneel to the ground, yanking it out. Jeff moves over to me and i mutter an "I'm ok. Now kill these fuckers"
[22:04] I roll to the side slightly and shoot out another blast, but again the shot flies aclear of the Kobolds. Beside me however, Jeff spins and charges at the wall, climbing it with the speed only a spider can have and leaps onto a Kobold, increadibly angry at the injury caused to his master
[22:07] With a chours of furious clicking, the nearest Kobold vanishes beneath the armourd Spider. fangs slice and legs stab and when Jeff finally looks up, there is nothing left of the creatre save for a mussy, blood covered mess
[22:09] <@Karm> I run while laughing at the kobold that died from jeff " Die you scum!" i laugh
[22:11] `The small force of kobold seizes their chance to retreat into their tunnels into the hills
[22:11] some however stay and fight
[22:13] above the cave antrence 2 kobold spellcasters exit through smaller tunnels and hurl magic missiles at the party
[22:17] the missiles fly down one striking jeff and the other hitting Grol
[22:17] *** Karm quit (Ping timeout)
[22:18] the spider seems to be unharmed however Grol is knocked back quite a bit
[22:28] *** Karm (Karm@sux-46F192A2.threembb.co.uk) joined
[22:30] I appear at the gap in the wall, a little grayer but with a snarl I raise my hand at the spellusing Kobolds
[22:32] The spell cuts into the exposed arm of one of the Kobold, but does no major damage. Beside me however, Jeff gives a click and resumes his charge
[22:34] The Kobold mage barely has time to recognise the eight legged monster running at it before it too vanishes beneath Jeff in a grusom show of tearing and slashing and stabbing
[22:35] i cry out once more and run at the remaining Kobold
[22:37] i laugh as i cut off the arm of the kobold and as it stumbles back i slice it in half
[22:38] Jeff gives out a series of clicks that again sound like laughing
[22:39] As this last kobold falls to the ground you hear a human sounding scream from within the cave
[22:39] "Warrghh!!" i cry and charge into the cave
[22:40] a spike rushes out of the wall hitting your armour and injuring your arm
[22:41] I walk after him, gesturing for Jeff to leave the dead body it attempts to pull with it
[22:41] It would appear the kobolds have trapped the tunnels
[22:41] you again hear a scream from deeper inside the cave, this time however it sounds more angry
[22:42] "Gods this hurts" I grunt as I reach you, holding my chest whilst Jeff walks beside me
[22:44] as you walk you see the tunnel fork.
[22:45] to the left you hear the screams
[22:45] to the right you hear the scurry of kobolds and the sounds of battle
[22:45] "That way..." i mutter not moving to show which way
[22:46] "Right sounds fun" I chuckle "I love seeing people kill each other. And Jeff loves the bodies they leave behind"
[22:47] " I am going Left" i mutter and run forwards
[22:50] "Damned Orc" i hiss before kicking Jeff to the right "Move silent Jeffy, I want to see whats going on, not get stuck in another fight"

[22:54] *** Now talking to tavolk
[22:54] as you move down the tunnel you see small indentations in the wall

[22:55] "Keep alert Jeffy, but silent"
[22:57] I continue down the path, staff held ready with Jeff keeping by my feet
[22:57] a kobold jumps from the dark roof landing next to jeff and attacks him
[22:58] Jeff spins and raises its front legs, letting out a shreak of anger as it seems to stand upright
[23:06] Swinging down from its stance, Jeff pulls the Kobold down without a sound, injecting poision into it and holding it silently until it stops moving. Then it wraps the creature in a web and leaves it behind a rock for later
[23:07] as you continue to move down the passage you see a door
[23:07] the sounds of battle are raging behing
[23:09] I stop before it and raise a hand at the door, scanning it for any magic baised trap
[23:10] You detect that there was once a magical barrier here however it would appear something has broken it.
[23:11] I nod and simply stare at it, examining it for any other sign of a possible trap to any opening it
[23:12] You see nothing but a plain wooden door.
[23:12] However
[23:13] you do notice that there is brickwork around the door suggesting that maby this was built by a creature with more inteligents than a simple kobold
[23:13] Giving a nod to Jeff, a step over to the door and open it only slightly and peering through the small gap
[23:16] You see a horde of kobolds in the room ,wich appears to be a basement, they appear to be attacking a group of gnomes in shining armour. The gnomes cut kobolds down with ease but they wont last long without help
[23:17] "Hey Jeff? What do you fell about Gnomes?"
[23:18] The spider gives a series of clicks
[23:18] "thought as much"
[23:20] Opening the door slightly, Jeff slips through the gap and creeps out towards the battle, looking for a Kobold that has been isolated from the horde, just as a mage or ranged fighter
[23:20] as you watch one of the gnomes falls and is trampled by the horde of kobolds around them
[23:21] Jeff sees a caster in the corner who is harrasing the gnome party with magic
[23:21] Clicking as the gnome falls and as it sees the mage, Jeff jumps from the shadows and attacks one of the Kobolds near the Gnomes whilst I slip a hand through the door and point it towards the mage
[23:24] the mage's head explodes as my Magic missile strikes it, the body slumping to the ground
[23:26] Near the Gnome lines, yet another Kobold fall beneath Jeff, ripped apart in the spiders wrath
[23:26] One of the gnomes surges forward through the gap that jeff made and reaches the far wall. He hits a switch and you hear a rumbling from below
[23:26] the gnome appearing to hold a sword too large for him swings it whilst shouting "THOESFOS!"
[23:27] Jeff clicks harshly and runs up a nearby wall
[23:27] a briliant light erupts from the blade burning away the remaining kobolds
[23:28] the gnomeic party seems badly injured only the one with the magical sword and another young gnome appear to be able to move
[23:28] the other three gnomes lie dead
[23:28] At the end of the fighting, I step into the room with hands up as Jeff leaps down to stand beside me
[23:28] "Good fight?"
[23:30] "AYE LAD!" says the older gnome "but quick we have a mission here, we must free our princess! I thank yee kindly sirs and would ask you to acompany us below for without your help we could not have broken free."
[23:31] "A princess ye say?" I grin "Sure, not like Jeff and I have anything better ta do around here. You got a healer by any chance? Took a lizerd spear to the chest earlier"
[23:33] "Indeed! We are the Knights of Unat! We are famed amongst the islands for out healing prowess"
[23:33] A warm beam of energy vents from the gnome as he heals your wounds
[23:34] "your spider need any help atall before we continue?"
[23:34] "Lovely" I grin, showing the heal to a releved looking Jeff "In that case my small freind, I am a at your service. I am Nomina"
[23:36] "My thanks human" and then indicating the younger gnome he says "come Drover we must move swiftly!" the two gnomes sprint down the corridor from where you came
[23:37] "Come on Jeffy" I grin "Lets go see what fun we can have with these two"
[23:37] Jeff casts a longing look at the dead gnomes before following
[23:38] The knights lead you down the passage and then take the other passage that grull charged down.
[23:38] "So whoes this princess then?"
[23:40] "The king of Unat's only daughter, she thought she could brave these mines alone but fell and was captured, one of her guard escaped to warn us, so we were sent to find her....

[22:51] you charge off down the coridor and are attacked by a heavily armed trogolodite as he sidesteps out of a side tunnel
[22:51] the sight is ammusing as he is wearing full plate and making rather a lot of noise
[22:52] i run at him not making a noise and swing my axe
[22:56] the blow hits throwing th trog into a wall
[22:56] he regains his feet and lunges with his blade
[22:57] the blade hits you in the chest
[22:57] however the thick scales of your armour stop it penetrating
[22:58] i smile at the trog and rise my axe
[22:59] i swing my axe down but the trog jumps back
[23:03] The trog again attempts to attack you this time he swings his sword at you.
[23:04] the sword again bounses harmlessly off your armour.
[23:04] "Die vermin" i mutter and swing again
[23:06] i plant the axe in the trog head, and grab his neck and tear his spine from his body
[23:11] i grab my axe, with the Trog head still on it and carry on down the path
[23:12] you see a large wooden baricade as you round the corner
[23:12] "Not another one..." i mutter and charge at it
[23:14] You slam against the baricade and nothing happenes
[23:14] it appears you are unable to move it
[23:15] "Hmm.." i mutter
[23:17] i shake my head and sprint back
[23:19] as you run past the trog you slayed earlier a small kobold wanders out of the tunnel next to you
[23:20] the kobold does something with his hands
[23:20] and you find yourself uinable to move
[23:21] the kobold squeals and scurries away down the side tunnel
[23:28] From behind you you hear a great rumble. It would appear the baricade has moved.
[23:28] You think you start to feel yourself able to move.
[23:29] "Great.." i mutter and try and turn around
[23:29] just a little at first it appears the kobolds magic is wearing off
[23:29] you manage to turn but can still not move your legs
[23:31] "Damned magic.."

[23:45] You round the corner to see the half ogre stuck in place.
[23:45] the gnomes ready themselves for a fight
[23:45] "WHO BE YOU!" bellows the older gnome
[23:46] "Hey" I grin "How goes life for you?"
[23:46] jeff laughs
[23:46] "This a friend?" the gnome says
[23:47] "Shut Up, a damned Kobold attacked me and froze me in place....coward" i mutter
[23:47] "Someone i met on my way in" I say "Hes a little crazy but a good fighter"
[23:48] "If you count headbutting walls apart as being a good fighter" i chuckle
[23:48] "Who you calling crazy!!" i shout "i hate magic even more now.."
[23:48] "HAHAHA! You were outwitted by a kobold? Oh you poor fool!" says the gnome then to his aide "quickly help him"
[23:49] "Outwitted no" my eyes narrowing " though i want his head on this axe too"
[23:49] "Its also only fair to warn you" I say to the half-orc "You're position as my best freind has been replaced by the guy who can set fire to a rooom of Kobolds my holding up a sword"
[23:50] The gnomes aide walks towards grul and mutters something then thrusts his palm out towards the half orc
[23:50] Grul falls backwards
[23:51] "Hmm good for him" i mutter " least i got a nice trophy.." i say pulling the head off my axe and tying its hair to my belt
[23:51] however appears to be freed
[23:51] "Hey jeff...why are you still carrying that?" I say as I finally notice Jeff is still carrying the arm of a Kobold
[23:52] The spider clicks and eats the arms quickly before looking up as if to say 'carrying what? I'm innocent'
[23:52] i get up and walk over the body f the trog and piuck up its weapons
[23:53] "Hey that thing got a shield or somthing?"
[23:53] the trogs sword is bent from attempting to hit you
[23:53] its armor is to small for you
[23:53] i pick up the sowrd and try and bend it back into place
[23:53] it has a small ornate dagger in its belt
[23:54] i pick up the dagger as i do so and shrug stabbing it into the trogs head around my waist
[23:56] i grab any scabbards i find and house the right blade in the right place
[23:57] Your belt not makes a noise as you move as you carry so many weapons.
[23:57] I am just stood aimlessly poking Jeff with my staff before looking up. "Oh yer, there was a pricness we need to save. You in orcy?"
[23:58] "Why not" i mutter " more weapons for me"
[23:58] "We must move quicky can we stop looting, i assure you you will be greatly rewarded for your help in this matter!" says the gnome
[23:58] the gnomes move off downt he main passage
[23:58] "Lets go then" i mutter and run after them
[23:59] Jeff jumps onto my back again as I head down after you
[23:59] You all come to a small room where it would appear a large baracade has been moved out of the way via machinery
[23:59] ahead is one large door
[23:59] "Moveing away? Seems like we are suddenly welcome" I grunt
[00:00] there is a scream from behind it aswell as a thud
[00:00] "Warghh!" i shout and charge at the door
[00:00] I stand in silence, watching the orc with a grin
[00:01] the door trembles slightly however you cannot break it.
[00:01] you hear another thud
[00:01] and another
[00:01] and another
[00:01] it sounds like very large footsteps
[00:01] "Hmm oh fuck.."
[00:01] I spin around to the sound and raise my staff, Jeff leaping beside me
[00:01] the screams get nearer
[00:01] thud
[00:01] thud
[00:01] "battle places ya small warriors!"
[00:02] i run backwards a few metres
[00:02] "get ready" the gnome says hoisting his sword
[00:02] thud
[00:02] thud
[00:02] the door crashes open and through it comes a small blonde gnome
[00:03] i pull out a very small spear and ready it
[00:03] I cup my hands and gather a sickly green light as I wait
[00:03] Beind her
[00:03] is a huge troll
[00:03] followed by several kobolds
[00:03] "Here they come" I laugh "March of the lizard men"
[00:03] "Wargh!" i scream throwing the spear
[00:04] "they have a cave troll" yells the gnome "aim for its eyes or feet bring it down"
[00:06] as the troll moves into the room the gnomes move to flank it
[00:06] I lunge my arms forth and shoot the beam of sickly green towards the troll
[00:06] the kobold appear to hold back for now
[00:09] The beam strikes the troll in the face and it slumps greatly as the strength is ripped from its body
[00:11] Beside me, Jeff leaps from a wall onto the troll

[00:17] the spider clings onto the trolls back and stabs its teeth in, injecting a poision the futher hurts the troll and causes it to give a weak moan as the spider leaps away
[00:18] i charge at the troll swinging the axe down as i jump to hit its face
[00:20] the axe connects making a dull thumd as it lodges itself in the trolls left jaw
[00:23] The gnomes follow the charge shouting as they go the older one swings his blade at the right leg and the younder aide swings his hammer at the other leg
[00:27] The older gnomes blade lets out a wail as it glows with power it bites into the trolls leg allmost cleaving the leg in two.
[00:28] the aide's hammer hits the other leg throwing the troll off balance
[00:29] the troll regains its balance and swings at the two gnomes
[00:31] it hits the older gnome throwing him against the far wall he slumps down sword still in hand
[00:31] the princess screams out and runs to his side
[00:32] the kobold see their chance and charge at the party
[00:32] spears fly towards you as the troll swings again
[00:32] "THOESFOS!" You hear the bellow of the gnome from behind you as a shining light overtakes the room
[00:34] you hear the troll bellow as the room turns to white then black as you all fall to the floor
[00:34] The old gnome collapses
[00:34] and takes a look at his handywork.
[00:35] there is a pile of ashes where the troll used to stand
[00:35] Jeff emerges slowly from the shadows after hiding from the light, glancing around slowly with 8 narrow eyes
[00:35] there is no evidence left of the kobolds
[00:37] "hello my little friend" he says "we did good, watch over them, get them to the gnome village, you'll smell the way"
[00:37] with that the gnome drops dead
[00:38] Jeff gives out what could almsot sound like a whimper as it uses its front leg to poke the gnome slowly, staring at it with black eyes
[00:39] The sword stops glowing, needing a true master to unlock its power.

I'll stick up a reminder, for those who've forgotten.

Hydra puts the name of the speaker inside angle brackets. Anyone with any grounding in HTML would know that HTML tags also go inside angle brackets, and that these tags aren't displayed. To prevent Legion from interpreting these usernames as HTML tags and hiding them, tick the box in the post reply form that says disable HTML in this message. Because at the moment, the logs are pretty much incomprehensible.

And before anyone gets any clever ideas, scripts are prohibited, and if I see any attempt at XSS, that's a permaban offense right there, IP and username.

AH, so thats how its done! Was wondering...

No worries, dispensing techie knowledge is what I'm here for. I wasn't sure whether to enable HTML at all, but figured that since there's only so much damage that can be done without scripts, I'd be able to crack down on anything suspicious. And besides, means people can do pretty things, if they've a mind to.

[20:15] <tavolk> Grol and Nomine are bound by glowing circles against the far wall near to the Gnome knights dead body,the gnome aide is in the center of the room, held aloft by a strange looking golden man. This man appearsto be clockwork and has green glowing slits where mouth and eyes should be. The inner working of this being are hidden by plates around his body. The spider jeff is nowhere to be seen. The party members begin to awake as the gnome aide says
[20:16] *** Dorian (Dorian@sux-3D080523.as13285.net) joined
[20:16] <tavolk> The golden man replies to the gnome "Well we shall see" and then to the party "Ahhh i see you have awoken."
[20:17] <Karm> "Oooh Shiny." i grin evily
[20:18] <tavolk> The gnome shouts "Get yourselves free, you have to get away form here!" Before the golden man flings him across the room against the far wall
[20:18] <Dark> "Well thats a fine sight to wake up too" I grunt half asleep as i watch him hit the wall
[20:18] <tavolk> "Ah an orc... no wait half orc is it? I haven't had to deal with one of your kind in quite a while." says the man moving closer to the party.
[20:19] <Dark> "Dont get around much then do ya?"
[20:19] <tavolk> "Ahh a human, well i must say you don't appear to be powerfull enough to warrant my attention yet, however it appears you have been breaking laws..."
[20:20] <Karm> "We have done no such thing!" i mutter " Unless That belonged to you" i nod at the trogs head
[20:20] <Dark> "Laws? I aint been breaking no laws. Me spider on de other hand loves to break them! Wont stop once he stats. hee hee. come ta think of it...where is he?"
[20:21] <Dark> I look around aimlessly before looking raising an eyebrow and looking back
[20:22] <tavolk> A flas of blinging light from the back of the room draws the man's attention.
[20:23] <tavolk> Through a door enters a female elf with an arrow strung in her bow and a large brown bear, it appears to be Darwin in bear form.
[20:23] <tavolk> "What a pleasure to see you again she elf" says the man
[20:23] <Dark> "Now...thats interesting"
[20:24] <tavolk> "DON'T MOVE QUARUT!" The elf screams firing her arrow
[20:24] <@jawz> I rear onto my hind legs and roar at the quarat then charge at it
[20:24] <Karm> "Ohhh a Bear!" i cry " get a net i want it!" i laugh "How are you Darwin?"
[20:24] <tavolk> The quarut appears to blur to the left slightly and the arrown and large bear miss him.
[20:25] <Dark> "Shoot him harder!" i shout to no one
[20:25] <tavolk> "Well she elf have you a new pet?" the quarut asks
[20:25] <@jawz> I level a blank stare at karm and shake my head, i roar at the metal man louder and charge at him
[20:26] <tavolk> The elf draws another arrow and attempts to time her attack so as the quarut dodges the bear her arrow will pierce his chest plate however her arrow appears to pass right through him.
[20:27] <Dark> "Awww"
[20:27] <tavolk> "Yeah I call him fluffy" The elf replies to the quarut
[20:27] <@jawz> I growl lowly at the elf
[20:28] <Dark> "speaking of pets" i mutter before looking at a random courner and raising an eyebrown, shaking my hands in a signal
[20:29] <tavolk> "he doesn't appear to like his name much" says the quarrut " and i must say your aim is getting better, its been many a year since i've had to fully stop time to dodge an attack"
[20:29] <tavolk> In the shadows jeff moves to Nomine's side
[20:29] <Dark> "Good boy" i grunt "Can you get these off for me? I'm missing the fun"
[20:30] <tavolk> the elf looses another barrage at the quarrut and they begin a deadly dance the elf retreating and trying to stop his advance with each arrow.
[20:31] <Dark> "Be there soon" i call out as Jeff jumps onto the rope and begins to chew through them
[20:31] <tavolk> Jeff easily bites through Nomine's bindings and moves to free Grul, knowing his masters will, but still looks back for confirmation
[20:32] <Dark> "Might as well" I nod before turning back to the glowing man "Ello again" I wave before shooting a glowing hand fowrad
[20:33] <tavolk> The quarut notes Nomine and changes position moving quickly to strike at the unprotected human
[20:36] <@jawz> I roar and charge at quarut running infront of it and bare my fangs growling
[20:37] <tavolk> The Quarut is stopped from harming Nomine by a bear and another barrage of arrows.
[20:37] <tavolk> "Well it seems im a little outmatched here, no sense playing around, ill just take what i came for.
[20:38] <tavolk> Jeff finaly manages to free Grul from his binds as the Quarut moves towards the Gnome knights corpse
[20:38] <tavolk> He reaches for the magic blade still lying at the gnomes side
[20:38] <tavolk> And begins to fade as several arrows pierce his torso
[20:39] <Karm> "Mine!" i shout and snatch the sword nad run away giggling
[20:39] <tavolk> "WHAT!" he screams and makes a final dash for the blade
[20:39] <Dark> "Ooh. Booty fight!"
[20:40] <tavolk> "BEGONE!" The elf shouts before with a bright flash of light the Quarut dissapears, you can hear his angry shouts of rage fade fade
[20:41] <tavolk> "Well that was close, wasn't it fluffy?" says the she elf as she moves to darwin's bear form and scratches his chin.
[20:41] <Dark> "Ok. that was awsome" I grin "And I think we can all agree that I was the most important and useful part to that fight"
[20:42] <@jawz> Slowly i began to become encompassed in a dim white light and slowly i shit from a qaudroped to bipedal, as the light slowly fades away im left as my human form
[20:43] <tavolk> "You know your much cuter as a bear" The elf says then turning to Nomine "Don't worry none of us were a match for him in a straight out fight, I'm just glad i managed to force him though his dimentional door."
[20:44] <Dark> "Aye, thanky kindly for that. I'm gonna pretend i have an idea as to what happened"
[20:45] <Karm> "Woop i got the sword!" i start doing a small war dance and stab the sword into the trogs head
[20:45] <@jawz> I look at the she elf and laugh dryly "very funny"
[20:46] <tavolk> "That was a Quarut, an inevitable, an enforcer of space and time. How did you manage to attract his atention? I mean no offence but nobody here has enough power to attract his attention. Why was he after you?"
[20:47] <Dark> "Jeff broke on of his rules or somthing"
[20:47] <@jawz> I shrug "i dont know, probably broke a rule somehow"
[20:48] <tavolk> "Well your all wonderfull help in figuring this mystery out... Where are you from anyway?" And then turning to Grul "Take care of that blade, the gnomes will want it back."
[20:48] <@jawz> I look up and sigh "i dont know, i cant really remember as its all a little fuzzy"
[20:48] <Karm> "Awww, my blade" i sulk
[20:49] <tavolk> "Do not worry orc, they will reward you greatly for protecting their holy relic."
[20:50] <Karm> "they better..."
[20:50] <Dark> "I'm from some place with dragons...all I remember. What do you remember Jeff?"
[20:50] <Dark> The spider clicks
[20:50] <Dark> "Oh yer and people who owe me a pint"
[20:51] <tavolk> "Some place with dragons and people that owe pints. Which island?"
[20:51] <Dark> "I dont remember" I grunt, scratching my head "Tip of me tongue but beyond me reach"
[20:52] <tavolk> "Unat? Antioc? Corthas? Elandria? Or one of the barbaric isles?"
[20:53] <Dark> "Not barbaric i remember that much...Antioc sounds familer and so does Unat. But I'll be sure ta get back to you when I remember"
[20:56] <tavolk> "I don't suppose..." The elf says half to her self then "Did anyone here just appear on this island with no memory of how they came to arrive here?
[20:56] <@jawz> I nod "pretty much yeah"
[20:56] <Dark> "Guiltly" I hold up my hand, as does Jeff
[20:56] <Karm> "Yes." i mutter
[20:57] <tavolk> "How long ago was this?" The elf asks quickly
[20:57] <@jawz> I shrug "dont know, didnt really count"
[20:57] <Dark> "Couple of days ago most"
[20:58] <Dark> Jeff clicks
[20:58] <Dark> "Oh...today then"
[20:58] <Dark> "Felt like i was out cold longer then that..."
[20:59] <@jawz> I shrug "when im a bear i dont really keep track of time, dont need to"
[21:00] <tavolk> "Today? but the... that could mean...." The elf draws her sword, a katana with an elegantly designed pattern of wings running up and down the hilt. she whispers a few words and the sword glows a very pale blue
[21:01] <tavolk> "I have to go now, go to the gnome village, i think he'll know the way" indicating the gnome aide "I'll meet you at the Little Garden Inn soon"
[21:01] <tavolk> the elf sprints towards the door that the party enterd through
[21:01] <tavolk> then steps back in the room
[21:01] <Dark> "Ah, a date with a place that has drinks. I like it"
[21:02] <tavolk> "Boys... Why is there a princess sleeping out here? Or do i not want to ask?" Then with a wink she dissapears
[21:02] <@jawz> I smile and sigh with relief "she's gone, good"
[21:02] <Karm> "Awww you dont like her?"
[21:02] <Dark> "I like her" I chuckle as Jeff climbs onto my back
[21:03] <@jawz> I shake my head "no, that damned woman treats me like a pet, a pet i mean who has a bear as a pet anyway?!"
[21:03] <Dark> "Cool people. Bear calvaly for the win. I has a spider" I dont seem to be talking to anyone in particular
[21:06] <tavolk> The gnome lying against the far wall moans slighty
[21:07] <Karm> "Ah he's awake." i mutter and lift him up and place him on his feet
[21:07] <@jawz> I point my thumb in the gnomes direction "anyone gonna fill me in on what me and the freaky elf woman ran in on?"
[21:07] <tavolk> "Wha..wha..what happened?" the gnome says
[21:07] <tavolk> the gnome appears rather confuzed.
[21:08] <Dark> "I was killing a troll then the gnome with the sword get all badass and killed everything...himself too. Sorry about that, he was a fun guy"
[21:10] <tavolk> "My leige? and the ...the ... THE QUARUT! WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM! He wanted Olethros. Did he get it? Oh by the gods this could be the end of us all."
[21:10] <Dark> I mutter 'Dont ask me' to a clicking Jeff before frowning "THe orc has the sword dont worry. But you know waht the Quarut was after?"
[21:11] <Karm> "Swordy" i mutter lifting the sword up
[21:11] <tavolk> the blade glows in Grol's hands
[21:11] <@jawz> I chuckle at the orcs words
[21:11] <tavolk> "Orc what is your name?"
[21:21] <Karm> "Grol" i smile oddly lifting my head up
[21:23] <tavolk> "Grol...." The gnome seems to think for a second before saying "Raise the blade and point at that wall then say Theosfos"
[21:23] <tavolk> "everyone stand back"
[21:23] <@jawz> I shrug "sure" and walk back
[21:23] <Dark> Jeff clicks as it shrinks into my back slightly as i step back
[21:24] <Karm> "Theosfos!" i shout and point
[21:24] <tavolk> The blade glows brightly for a seccond then begins to genlty hum
[21:24] <Dark> "Well that was no where near as cool"
[21:24] <tavolk> "Well..." The gnome seems disapointed
[21:25] <tavolk> The blade suddenly whines loudly and from its tip shoots a beam of bright yellow light, it strikes the wall searing a scorch mark on its surface
[21:25] <tavolk> "YE GODS!" the gnome exclaimes
[21:25] <Karm> "Nice." i mutter
[21:26] <@jawz> I whistle "sweet"
[21:27] <Karm> "Right well where is that Kobold that froze me earlier.."
[21:27] <tavolk> The gnome bows to you "you are the keeper of this blade, it is a holy relic of our knights order, it was meant for you. Our order has guarded this since we can remember now you have returned, We should return to the surface quickly with the princess... WAIT! WHERE IS THE PRINCESS!
[21:28] <Dark> "Apparently outside" I gesture with my staff "I'll go get her"
[21:28] <Karm> ".....Well. the elf said she was over there" i point to the entrance
[21:29] <tavolk> "YOU JUST LEFT HER OUTSIDE!? HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING! IF SHE IS HARMED THE KING WILL HAVE OUR HEADS!"
[21:29] <@jawz> I laugh "yours maybe but not mine"
[21:29] <Dark> I head to the door and Jeff leaps from my back, climbing up the wall to get a better view as I return carrying her piggyback style "Found her. And i'm sure he will be a little more pissed if we had her in here with the glowy dude"
[21:29] <Karm> "Yeah he probably has a few bear heads.."
[21:31] <tavolk> "Quickly follow me" the gnome moves to the door and glances at his fallen comrade. A single tear drops from his eye but he straightens himself up knowing his duty and leads you up through the maze of tunnels untill you reach a basement room filled with burnt kobold bodies and dead gnomes.
[21:31] <@jawz> i nod and follow the gnome
[21:32] <Dark> I hum randomly to myself as I follow, carrying the princess and with Jeff at my feet
[21:32] <tavolk> the gnome indicates a battered door and says "Orc if you'd please open this"
[21:34] <Karm> "Theosfos" i mutter pointing the sword again
[21:35] <tavolk> The blade glows but nothing more
[21:36] <Karm> "Something wrong."
[21:36] <tavolk> the gnome lets out a sigh
[21:37] <Dark> "Hey...can I have a look at that thing?" I ask Grol
[21:38] <Karm> "Yeah" i mutter and walk over
[21:38] <Dark> I slump the princess against a wall with Jeff standing guard and take the sword from him, turning it over in my hands
[21:38] *** jawz quit (Ping timeout)
[21:44] *** jawz (jawz@sux-3256BF39.range109-149.btcentralplus.com) joined
[21:44] <Dark> "This thing is designed to hide most of its power" I grunt, twirling it around "But it will guide the attacks of those who it views as its master to strike their foes...basically it helps you fight but is still hiding somthing""
[21:45] <Karm> "Helps me then.."
[21:45] <Dark> "Aye, good for a head strong guy like you" I chuckle before tossing it back to him
[21:46] <tavolk> the blade glows brighter as it flies into the hands of its new master
[21:46] *** jawz quit (Connection reset by peer)
[21:51] <Karm> i step back a bit and charge head first at the door
[21:51] *** jawz (jawz@sux-9ADC10B6.range86-185.btcentralplus.com) joined
[21:52] <tavolk> The door buckles under Gruls weight and an arrow flies past his cheek
[21:55] <tavolk> the arrow hits the gnome in the chest.
[21:56] <tavolk> As the party looks through the doorway they see grul surrounded by 20 heavily armed gnomes.
[21:57] <Karm> "Ah this might be a problem...."
[21:58] <Dark> "Hold on my small ones" I hold up my hands "we are on yourside...so was the guy you just shot"
[21:59] <tavolk> "YOUR COMING WITH US!" One of the gnomes shouts before poking Grol with his spear
[22:01] <Karm> "Ouch?" i mutter as the spear pokes my armor

[22:59] <tavolk> Each one of you is blindfolded and you can feel yourselves being led along a path
[22:59] <tavolk> the gnomes that captured you are at your sides
[22:59] <tavolk> You feel yourselves led indoors
[23:00] <tavolk> the blindfolds are removed and you see you are in a small room each person is in a small cage
[23:00] <Karm> "I get the feeling this is gonna be a bad joke later..."
[23:00] <Dark> "I'm allready laughing" I grunt in a very irritated voice
[23:01] <jawz> "well at least we have our own places to hang"
[23:01] <tavolk> In this room is a man about 5ft 10, Black hair, green eyes, thin, weak-looking. He its rather jittery and twitchy, but somehow calm and in control. He is smiling and eying you up as if eyeing up your value.
[23:01] <tavolk> he is also in a cage of his own
[23:02] <tavolk> the gnomes leave you in
[23:02] <tavolk> However you know they will be back soon
[23:02] <Dark> "Nice club ye got here" I grunt "WHats the rent?"
[23:02] <Karm> "Double what you have."
[23:02] <tavolk> Jeff enters throuch a bared window, the witty spider yet again evading capture.
[23:03] <Karm> "You think i can pay with the sword..."
[23:03] <jawz> "how the feck has that giant spider not been seen yet?" i whisper harshly
[23:03] <Dark> "Atta boy" I grin as i pat the spider on the head to its happy clicking
[23:03] <Dorian> "I think that this 'sword', if you consider it payment enough to leave prison, must be worth a lot."
[23:04] <Dark> "Come ta think of it...why didnt they just take it then?"
[23:04] <Karm> "Oh you talk. and yea some relic of theirs."
[23:05] <Dorian> "Hence why you no longer have it, and why you're here."
[23:06] <Dark> I frown, shrug and turn back to petting the spider
[23:07] <Dorian> "Look, I gotta ask: What're you guys in for?"
[23:08] <jawz> "i have no clue, i think its something like stealing a holy relic?"
[23:08] <Dark> "I did nothing sept carry around a knocked out princess" I grin
[23:10] <Dorian> I laugh breifly, "So, you stole a relic and knocked out a princess. It's a wonder you haven't been executed yet."
[23:10] <Karm> "Cause we're awesome." i mutter
[23:11] <Dark> I just grin and allow Jeff to climb onto my back
[23:11] <jawz> "i guess its because they're confused we'd commit these 'crimes' and run right back to them"
[23:11] <Dark> "And the fact that they shot their own guy"
[23:12] <Dorian> "Well. Better save the whole story for later. You wanna get out of this dump?"
[23:12] <Karm> "Erm, maybe."
[23:14] <Dorian> "Only maybe? You sure you don't wanna leave and miss out on the trial that will most likely result in you being executed?"
[23:14] <Karm> "Yeah i like a challege"
[23:14] <Dark> I walk over to the window that Jeff had come through and peer out of it
[23:18] <Dark> "Welp looks like our new freind is half right. THey are getting the gallows ready out there...only for one guy though"
[23:19] <Karm> "I choose Fluffy!"
[23:20] <Dark> "By the way mate" I ask the unnamed man "What you in for?"
[23:21] <Dorian> "Ah. Well, fuck. Seems I've worked out my sentence. I'm in for Murder 1, by the way. So, you coming or not?" I begin to walk over to the cell door, rummaging in my outfit for something.
[23:21] <Dark> Jeff clicks several times and I raise an eyebrow
[23:21] <jawz> i close my eyes and hold my glowing hands out infront of me
[23:22] <jawz> i open my eyes and sigh as my hands lose their glow
[23:23] <Dorian> As I get to the door, I lean around it and, having extracted something from my outfit, start rummaging with the lock. "Not gonna work, mate. Low level AM feild in here, see?"
[23:24] <tavolk> the lock clicks ans the door swings open
[23:24] <jawz> i sigh deeply "i wish to hear the charges they wish to impose upon us"
[23:25] <Dark> I mutter somthing and Jeff slips from my back, climbing up the wall and hiding in shadows
[23:26] <Dorian> "Good for you, I intend to leave." I smile, and, making sure to stick to the shadows, move towards the door.
[23:27] <Dark> "I'ma thinking I'm gonna follow him" I shrug as I follow, the breif glimps of Jeff in the shadwos showing him following
[23:28] <jawz> I sit down cross legged with my eyes shut "i wouldnt want to piss off our captors so i shall remain
[23:29] <Dark> I poke my head back in the room "Come to think of it...you guys are fun"
[23:30] <Dark> i rummige around in my pocket and pull out a coin, tossing it into the air and catching it
[23:30] <Karm> "I'm a coming" i say and walk out the door
[23:30] <Dark> "You are? Majority vote then, what about you Fuffy?"
[23:31] <Dorian> "Look, they'll be back soon, are we going or not?"
[23:31] <jawz> I growl slightly "the names darwin, not fluffy" he slowly stood up "if its majority vote ill go with you, safety in numbers and all that" i follow after them
[23:31] <Karm> "Lets just go." i mutter from behind them
[23:31] <Karm> "Fluffy!" i whisper loudly
[23:32] <Dark> "Pack mentality. I like it" i grin before heading down the corridor, Jeff moving along the roof
[23:32] <Dorian> "Right first, our stuff's in there." I head through a door to the direction in question.
[23:33] <Dark> "Oh good man" I grin as i follow, placing my mace into its place on my belt and holding my staff, bag over back
[23:34] <jawz> I smile as i get my gear back "feels good to have my stuff returned to me"
[23:34] <tavolk> In the room with all your gear you notice a lack of the Gnome sword and a strange locked wooden chest in the corner.
[23:34] <Karm> "Ahh my lovelies" i mutter and sheath all my swords and grab my greataxe
[23:35] <Dorian> I pick up a backpack and a small money pouch, then wander over to the chest. "Yay, free stuff."
[23:35] <Karm> "If there is a good sword. it's mine" i growl
[23:35] <jawz> I shrug "if theres anything that catches my interest i'd like it"
[23:35] <Dark> "You have a fetish for swords or somthing?"
[23:36] <Karm> "Maybe." i mutter and turn slightly
[23:36] <Dorian> I lean down and begin to check over the chest for traps and the like.
[23:37] <Karm> i walk forward and carry on down the hall
[23:37] <Dorian> After a breif check, I begin to try opening the chest,
[23:39] <tavolk> from down the hall you see a closed door, you hear muffled gnome voices from behind i
[23:39] <Dark> Jeff clicks as it turns and crawls to hang over the door
[23:40] <Karm> i turn quickly and walk back at the same pace "Their here." i mutter
[23:40] <Dorian> I scuttle behind the chest, trying as hard as I can to make myself hidden.
[23:40] <tavolk> The gnomes appear to be pacing behind the door. Perhaps they are on guard duty. Regardless the voices move away
[23:41] <Dark> I twirl my staff "Open the case then lets get a moving"
[23:41] <Karm> "Idiots." i mutter and walk to the chest
[23:42] <tavolk> the chest is locked with a large brass lock
[23:42] <Dorian> "Shutupshutup." I hiss, "Make yourselves scarce, idiots!"
[23:42] <tavolk> The voices move closer to the door again
[23:42] <tavolk> and then away
[23:44] <Dorian> I lean out from behind the chest and try to pick the lock on it. as quietly as I can.
[23:45] <tavolk> The lock gives out a grinding noise and you stop trying to pick it.
[23:47] <Dorian> I sigh, and take my lock-picks out, trying again to pick the lock in as different a way as I can. Fortunately, this seems to work.
[23:48] <Dorian> I open the chest to behold the wonders within.
[23:48] <tavolk> With in the chest lies the equipment of the dead gnome from the kobold mine
[23:49] <tavolk> items that stand out are two shiny rings and a curved dagger
[23:49] <Dorian> "Yay, stuff!" I instantly take one of the rings and the dagger, and start looking closely at the other ring.
[23:49] <Karm> "ohhh shiny" i mutter and grab one
[23:49] <Dark> I frown as i walk over and hold my hands over the rings, ignoring the dagger. My hand glow slightly
[23:49] <jawz> "i call the rings, or at least one of them" i whisper loud enough for everyone else in the room to hear
[23:49] <Dorian> "Hey! I opened it, I get first pick."
[23:50] <Karm> "Nomine, what does it do first?"
[23:50] <jawz> "why not put it on and see?"
[23:53] <Dorian> "Well? Any of you know how to identify magic items?"
[23:53] <Dark> I chuckle as I take the ring with a green patten on it and examine it "I'm having this one...The Dagger is a ghost touch blade and the other ring is gifts a true strike "
[23:54] <Dorian> "What does the green ring do?" I say, surruptitiously pocketing the dagger and the ring.
[23:55] <jawz> "can i have the truestrike ring?"
[23:55] <Dark> I chuckle again before placing it on my finger and looking up to Jeff
[23:56] <Dorian> I think for a second, then flick the ring over to Darwin, "It's all yours, friend. The dagger stays with me, though."
[23:57] <jawz> I smile as i catch it in the air and put it on, i admire the ring and twist it slightly "thanks"
[23:57] <Dorian> I gesture at Nomine, "What does that ring do?"
[23:59] <Dark> I smile before pointing the ring towards Jeff and mutter "Gevaro"
[23:59] <tavolk> The spider gros larger and larger untill he could be refered to as huge
[00:00] <Dark> Jeff promptly shouts out a chours of clicking and falls to the ground. It staps its feet and slowly begins to grow, doubling in size
[00:01] <Dark> I give a large grin "Very nice"
[00:02] <Karm> "need more armor for this one."
[00:03] <Dark> I flick my wrist and Jeff shrinks back to its normal size, stamping its feet in what seems to say 'Fucking warn me next time!!' before climbing back onto the wall
[00:05] <Dorian> I smile, then turn my attention to the guards. Smiling, I wander over to the door and peer out.
[00:06] <Karm> "Lets do this shit." i mutter walking to the door
[00:06] <jawz> I point my hands at grol and smirk "Gevaro"
[00:07] <Dark> Jeff follows through the the door and flashing a cheeky grin, i flick my hand and mutter 'Gevaro' at Jeff
[00:07] <Dorian> I step out from behing the door and place my hands on the back of two guards' necks, making a quick flicking motion.
[00:08] <Dark> Jeff rises behind you with its new size, looking like somthing from a horror movie
[00:09] <jawz> I follow grol and tap my new ring pointing at grol again "strike true"
[00:09] <Dark> Stomping over your head, it rises to hover inces from behind them and opens its mouth
[00:09] <Karm> and i rise from behind jeff grinning
[00:15] <Dorian> I push the two guards forwards towards Jeff and pull my wrist blades out of their necks, which are now rather lacking on the whole 'intact' part of their former description.
[00:16] <Dark> Giving a series of clicks that are now deafening loud, Jeff lunges forwad and the terrified Gnome's head vanishes into its maw. There is the sickening sound of crunching and the headless body falls to the ground in a shower of blood
[00:20] <Karm> i swing my axe into the spine of a gnome causing it to hang lifelessly on the blade...only covering a quater of it
[00:23] <tavolk> The she elf bursts through the doors in front of you. With her she has the injured gnome aide and the holy sword "Hello boys, looks like you ahd some fun and there was me trying to prove your not guilty."
[00:24] <tavolk> As the doors slam shut behind her you hear the thunk of several arrows hitting the door
[00:24] <tavolk> and a booming voice
[00:24] <jawz> "looks like your convincing didnt go down to well"
[00:24] <tavolk> "Come out we have you surrounded"
[00:24] <Dark> Jeff looks up as she enters before resuiming eating
[00:24] <Dark> "Hey they started it" i call out as i come trhough the door
[00:25] <tavolk> >>>>>>END<<<<<<

[19:55] <@tavolk> "You know maby one day we can have a proper conversation" the elf says while tossing Grol the gnomeic sword
[19:55] <@tavolk> She then spun grabing Darwin's wrist "and I really am sorry boys i gotta fly and i need this one"
[19:55] <@tavolk> She gave darwin a shove in front of her and said "come on fluffy"
[19:55] <@tavolk> "MY NAME IS NOT FLUFFY" He replied looking slightly confused
[19:55] <@tavolk> "Sure" she replies unsheathing her sword and pointing it behind him
[19:55] <@tavolk> With a shout in an un familiar tounge she lunged with her sword dragging a bewilderd Darwin with her.
[19:55] <@tavolk> The elf gnome and Darwin all dissapear into what breifly resembles a doorway of bright light.

[19:55] <@tavolk> The elf gnome and Darwin all dissapear into what breifly resembles a doorway of bright light.
[19:56] I exhange a very confused look with Jeff before shrugging and walking over to the window to look out
[19:57] I raise an eyebrow, "Well, that was... unexpected."
[19:58] "Yeah..." i mutter "WAIT! why did she take fluffy!"
[19:58] "Ooh, they are evacuating civilians out there" I chuckle "They seem to respect us as a threat"
[19:59] "Finally" i mutter to my self
[20:00] "Well. Am I getting payed for all this killing, then?"
[20:01] "Hold up" I say suddenly "Somthings going on. Some sort of air ship just flew over and the gnomes are acting up about it..."
[20:01] "Nope." i say to him and grin
[20:02] "Well. I do believe that SOMEONE has violated the laws of this here town rather badly. Bets on who it is?"
[20:03] I raise an eyebrow before looking down at Jeff, who returns with a look of 'I'm innocent cause I'm cute'
[20:04] "You?" i say " All we did was take a holy relic, and made it look like we kidnapped a princess..."
[20:04] "...Yeah, let's not start that again. Also, I was refering to the ship."
[20:04] "And knocked her out" I add helpfully
[20:05] "Well someone who dosent have a lot of cash, the ship is kind of a mix and match patched together kind of job
[20:05] "
[20:06] "Well, that sounds like the Kobolds. Things may just get fun."
[20:06] "Thats what I was thinking"
[20:07] "Ah yer, Kobold army dropping down" I mutter "Lots of the little buggers"
[20:08] "Well. We may all be fucked."
[20:09] "What from a bunch a walking lizards? hardily...I see a buisness chance her however"
[20:09] "Not with this!" i shout rising my sword in the air
[20:11] "Perhaps orc. But let me prepose this. What if we fight these Kobolds? Show the little Gnomes that we are not their main foes?"
[20:12] <@tavolk> Allmost on cue you hear scrabbling on the roof
[20:12] "Look, there's a decent sized army out there, right? So, no matter how good we are, we will eventually be brought low by a lucky strike, and I for one don't want to be killed. Plus, face to face combat isn't what I do, and I see no opportunity for stealth."
[20:12] "Half orc...but yes. might be a good idea
[20:13] "I can take on a army of them...if you use your Ring on me"
[20:13] "Then you run and hide little man" I grin "The half-orc, the spider and I seem to have people asking for us"
[20:14] "This is what i live for" i shout a pound my chest
[20:14] "You sure? You sure you want to risk the chance that they've all got Drow poison or something on their weapons? You want to risk the chance that one of them rams a spear throught your eye?"
[20:14] Jeff clicks and pounds the ground in the same fashion
[20:14] <@tavolk> You hear screams and running outside, the scrabbling on the roof has stopped and you hear the armies clashing outside
[20:18] "So? Fight or run? You choose, and I'll do what I think won't get me killed."
[20:19] <@tavolk> A crash through the doors and several shocked gnomes enter backwards then move to hold the door shut
[20:19] <@tavolk> They notice you and cry out readying their weapons
[20:19] "Ello" I smile and wave at them as if nothing is wrong
[20:19] <@tavolk> "Stay back criminals" one says
[20:20] <@tavolk> rather timidly
[20:20] "Resist arrest." i say calmly to myself
[20:20] I sigh, and shake my head slowly.
[20:20] "Seems like you have some uninvited guests. Annoying arnt they?"
[20:22] <@tavolk> "stay... back" another chirps up as they try to hold the door closed against an unseen force
[20:23] "Oh shut up!" i say to them and help them with the door
[20:23] "Hey now little guy" I hold up my unarmed hand to the door "We prefer Kobold killing to Gnome smacking"
[20:24] <@tavolk> "I guess thats good to hear. even with the big guys help we can hold this door" The gnomes say looking much cheerier
[20:24] "Yup now get back and let us help!"
[20:24] "You ready to fire nomine?!" i shout back
[20:25] "I ain't doing shit. You" here, I gesture to the Gnomes, "know what I'm in for, and you know EXACTLY how likely I am to get a pardon."
[20:25] I grin as i stand back and my hand glows red, Jeff climbs onto the wall above the door, ready to pounce
[20:25] "Oh go cry in ya cell!"
[20:25] <@tavolk> "Assasin scum" the gnomes say "Yeah you wouldnt get a pardon but you dont even have a shred of honor"
[20:26] "Hey, who needs honour? That shit'll get you killed."
[20:26] I mutter somthing very rude and turn back towards the door
[20:27] <@tavolk> the gnomes dont even dignify you with a response "Orc hold the door" then they move back and aim their bows
[20:28] I poke one of them with the butt of my staff so that his bow is pointing a little further away from my chest
[20:29] <@tavolk> the gnomes feeling more confident with their new larger allies ready themselves and aim at the door "ready when you are"
[20:29] Jeff gives a few clicks and beds its legs
[20:30] i place my foot on the door and propel myself back
[20:31] I turn, sigh, and run back towards my cell, intending to see if I can do something about the bars on the window.
[20:31] <@tavolk> The door gives way with an allmighty crash and 5 kobolds charge in supported by 2 shamans
[20:31] "Coward!"
[20:31] "And proud of it!"
[20:35] I dont even bother looking back at him before i flick my wrist and sending a beam of purple light out of my plam
[20:40] As the beam flies inches past one of the lizards face, Jeff hisses and pounces from the wall, aiming towards one of the mages at the rear
[20:46] At the last moment, the Kobold jumps to the side, barely avoiding the spiders bared fangs
[20:47] <@tavolk> The gnome commander shouts "FIRE" and the gnomes obey unleashing a wall of arrows on the kobolds
[20:48] <@tavolk> Most of the shots go wild but one arrow strikes home hitting a kobold in the head
[20:49] <@tavolk> The comanding gnome charges into the fray slashing his sword
[20:49] <@tavolk> But the kobolds manage to evade him
[20:52] "Fuckkkk YEAH!" I shout charging and slashing at the nearest Kobold
[20:56] <@tavolk> The shamans hurl magic missiles at Nomine fearing a powerfull spellcaster. The spells knock the little man back resulting in a chitter from jeff
[20:58] <@tavolk> the fearfull kobolds charge the gnome commander slashing and stabbing untill his body stopped moving
[21:07] Mutering somthing I raise the ring on my hand and shout "Auxile"
[21:08] As a light wraps around me, Jeff turns back towards the mage it had attacked before, fangs bared
[21:11] There is a moments pause as the Kobold turns and stares into Jeffs eight black eyes. Then, with a scream of utter terror. It vanishes in under the spiders body in a spray of blood and crunching bone
[21:12] <@tavolk> the gnomes still fearfull loose a second volley
[21:13] <@tavolk> Two miss but the other two hit kobolds one kills a kobold the other pierces its chest making it run away shreiking
[21:15] i laugh madly as i carry on swing my axe
[21:15] "Laters!" I laugh
[21:22] i swing to high and pass over the heads of all the kobolds and blink quickly
[21:22] "You know...for someone who was obsessing about your 'swordy'...you aint using it."
[21:23] <@tavolk> The shaman that remains launches another burst of magic at Nomine however when it reaches the small man it hits a bright white barrier.
[21:23] "Hmm...Oh yeah!"
[21:24] <@tavolk> the two surviving kobolds charge Grol but fail to hurt him through his thick armour
[21:24] I roll my eyes, not even seeming to notice the blast hit my new magic shield
[21:25] <@tavolk> The kobolds realising the situation hopless quickly flee into the busy square knowing that they are outmatched
[21:25] <@tavolk> "Commander!" a gnome shouts running to see if he was still alive
[21:26] <@tavolk> Another gnome turns and says "thankyou, you are truly men of honour."
[21:27] "Thats what we tried telling ya before ya through us in prison" I grunt as Jeff finishes of eating the Kobold mage
[21:28] <@tavolk> "Is it true then what you said? that you saved our princess?"
[21:29] "Yer, from a feck of troll. She was unfortunatly knocked out along with everyone else when I beat the troll to death with my fists so no one else remembers that"
[21:29] Jeff clicks a few times
[21:29] "Oh shut it"
[21:29] "Yeaaah. i remember me putting my axe into its skull.."
[21:31] <@tavolk> "You sound brave, help us with the town and perhaps we can clear your names!"
[21:31] "Make it a certainty"
[21:31] <@tavolk> As the gnome says this another guard runs past and yells "fall back! fall back to the docks!"
[21:31] "Oh thats mighty kind of you" I grin sarcastically "You will help us clear our names of the marks you gave them"
[21:33] <@tavolk> "Come with me? To the docks?" The gnome archer says "We will need all the help you can give us"
[21:33] Jeff clicks and crawls onto my back "What ya think Mr Half Orc?"
[21:34] <@tavolk> The gnome rallies his team of rangers and then move to the door "Come with us?"
[21:34] "Lets do this!" i shout and rise the sword up and mutter "Theosfos"
[21:35] <@tavolk> the blade lets out a bright flash of light drawing the attention of some nearby kobolds
[21:36] "That was...productive"
[21:37] "Yeah....i wanted to look good, didnt work out that well..."
[21:37] <@tavolk> The gnomes let out a more precisely aimed volley dispatching the kobolds with ease "perhaps you should learn how you stay un noticed orc" The gnome says
[21:38] "You do know your talking to an Orc right" i chuckle "Now, shall we go then? Forget about the guy who ran crying to his cell"
[21:38] <@tavolk> "HE'S A LYING SCUMBAG! We leave him here to die"
[21:39] "Fine by me" I shrug
[21:41] "Yup." i say and follow them
[21:42] <@tavolk> The gnome rangers lead the way winding through the streets untill they reach a fork in the roads by a small inn names the Little Garden Inn
[21:42] <@tavolk> "Get inside quick" The lead gnome hisses
[21:43] <@tavolk> "Areldor, Mathos head upstairs and cover the streets everyone else with me and stay down"
[21:44] "You got any beer?" I ask no one in particular the second we are through the door
[21:44] i nod and kneel next to the door frame
[21:45] <@tavolk> Outside you hear several scurrying feet and the loud clunking of something heavy and metalic moving throught the streets
[21:46] "Bugger, save the beer for later then"
[21:46] I move over and, as allways, glance through the window
[21:46] <@tavolk> "DOWN!" Hisses the gnome
[21:46] I raise an eyebrown but comply
[21:48] "Looks like the lizards are going to try and use a hostage to bribe us"
[21:48] "what is it?!" i hiss
[21:49] <@tavolk> The army outside doesnt appear to have noticed you they seem rather intent on heading towards the large fort in the west side of town
[21:49] "Well they have our little elf freind helf hostage"
[21:50] "Ah..." i mutter " How many hostiles?"
[21:50] "Lots. And several of those bigger ones that seem ta lead them"
[21:51] <@tavolk> The gnomes look to the party nervously looking for some kind of orders
[21:53] I pull out my pipe and light it, seeming to fall deep in thought
[21:54] "If we had more men, we could take them, and thats with nomine using his ring on me..."
[21:55] <@tavolk> "Did you see where they were headed?" says the gnome that appears to have taken charge
[21:56] "That wasnt my ring mate, it was the bears. And yer, they were heading for that big fort ya got up there. Probily hoping to take it and break your moral or get the princess or somthing like that"
[21:58] "Seems like they are making their big push in this war of yours"
[21:59] <@tavolk> "The fort... the kobolds never head for the fort... they normally just want gems and gold..."
[21:59] <@tavolk> "Something must have changed them..."
[21:59] "Like I say, with that many of the buggers and a prisoner. This is their push, somthings made them want this war over now"
[22:00] "And I mean RIGHT NOW" I sigh into my pipe
[22:02] <@tavolk> "Was it just kobolds out there? We need to know whats going on but we need to get to the docks. Were with you human. What should we do?"
[22:04] "Nope, like i said there is an elf prisoner and a load of them bigger ones. We dont have any of them in the world i came from so i dont know their names...think you call them Trogs or somthing"
[22:07] <@tavolk> "Whatre we going to do then?"
[22:08] "I say the Docks, that way any help we can bring back to fight them"
[22:08] I draw a long drag of my pipe "Sorry guys but I kind of owe that elf a favour"
[22:08] <@tavolk> "we could split up?"
[22:09] "Yeah." i mutter remembering what happened last time
[22:10] Jeff gives a few clicks and i pat it "But we dont stand a chance against a force like that..."
[22:10] "What reinforcments you got coming from the docks?
[22:10] <@tavolk> "Stealth is our friend if going to the fort. But the docks will require brute strenght."
[22:11] <@tavolk> "I ahve to say i don't know. I think its a last ditch attempt to hold them till some renforcements arrive from the other islands arrive
[22:12] Again, I fall silent in thought as i drag on my pipe
[22:12] "What i dont get is why they would use an elf prisoner agaisnt you"
[22:12] <@tavolk> "I know not?"
[22:14] Jeff suddenly hisses from where it had peeped out of the window
[22:14] "Gods..." i curse through my pipe "Seems our glowy freind is there too"
[22:15] <@tavolk> "Glowy friend?"
[22:15] "Someone that elf refered to as an Inevitable...is where the Orc got his sword from"
[22:16] <@tavolk> "An inevitable? Are yous serious? What is it doing here?"
[22:16] "Why is he here?" i mutter gripping my sword and getting ready to attack
[22:17] I shrug "Either he thinks youve been breaking his rules too or he just wants that sword back...might explain the Elf. Perhaps he thinks the elf is with us and wants to us her against us to get the sword rather then agaisnst the gnomes"
[22:18] <@tavolk> "then what do we do? We cannot wait here forever!"
[22:19] <@tavolk> the army led by the Quarut moves off towards the fort leaving the streets clear
[22:19] <@tavolk> "Now is our chance, what do we do?"
[22:20] "Ok, I'm going to follow that army and see if i can find out what the fuck is happening. Ork, you take a force and secure the docks...get reinforcments up there as soon as you can"
[22:20] "Roger..." i mutter and beckon one of the Gnomes to come with me
[22:21] <@tavolk> "Ill come with you human, Everyone else folow the orc and vouch for him with our forces!"
[22:22] "Good" i nod and Jeff climbs back onto my back "Dont let me down Orc"
[22:23] "You too" i wink and make the gnomes lead the way
[22:23] <@tavolk> As the party splits the gnomes look back at each other as they travel there seperate ways.
[22:23] <@tavolk> >>>>>END<<<<<

[23:38] <@tavolk> As you walk up the street moving from shadow to shadow the gnome leads you down an alley to take cover "So whats your name anyway human?"
[23:38] <Dark> "Nomine. And this is Jeff" I smile "yourself?"
[23:42] <@tavolk> "Drealdor" says the gnome moving across the street and picking up a crossbow... "ahh you see these are a marvel of gnomic engeneering they fire a burst of three arrows.. you should get one"
[23:43] <Dark> "I'll keep my eye out" I nod "Havent had the best of luck with my Invocations recently"
[23:45] <@tavolk> "Invocations you say? Tell me more." The gnome moves furter up the street and then "Clear"
[23:47] <Dark> "Good" I grunt "well you see my freind I'm what you would call a Warlock, someone who has had his family tree tainted by a demon at somepoint. Due to this I am able to use somthing akin to a mages spells but they require no preporation or book reading. I just have it in me"
[23:50] <@tavolk> "Sounds like a usefull ability to have... wish that my family had powers" the gnome moves up the road and spots a group of gnomes locked in battle with a small party of kobolds "Do we move to attack or go around Nomine?"
[23:51] <Dark> "You know any of them?"
[23:52] <@tavolk> "Don't think so... We need more help do you think? We could send them to help the Docks?"
[23:54] <Dark> "Help would be good...but I dont want the Kobolds knowing we are here. If you think we can help here and still maitain the stealth then I will gladly aid them"
[23:56] <@tavolk> "theres only 4 kobolds i think... the gnomes seem to be out of ammo... we could get them out of there and kill the kobolds to get rid of the witnesses."
[23:57] <Dark> "Every little helps then dosent it" I nod as Jeff leaps from my back
[23:58] <@tavolk> "lets move" the gnome moves up quietly and informs the other gnomes to stay down.
[23:59] <Dark> I place my staff onto a strap on my back and draw my mace muttering "Might as well try this thing out"
[00:04] <Dark> I hum to myself as I stay in the alley and nod to Jeff, rasing my ring towards it and muttering 'Gevero'. Once the spider has grown to its new extreame size i stay hidden and it charges toawrds the Kobolds
[00:10] <Dark> The Kobolds dont notice the giant spider charging at them until on of their number is missing everything above its waist curtasy of Jeff's snapping jaw
[00:16] <@tavolk> The gnomes take this moral raising charge and move forward supporting the spider shooting their crossbows at the remaining kobolds
[00:20] <@tavolk> the four new gnomes miss their targets but Drealdor hits 2 kobolds with his newly scavenged crossbow
[00:20] <@tavolk> with both targets he hit they drop dead almost instantly.
[00:21] <@tavolk> "Bloody good crossbow here" He says as the kobolds retreat.
[00:21] <Dark> Jeff seems to be a little nervous standing in the centre of the arrow barrage but manages to stay firm
[00:22] <Dark> "Aye!" I shout "Now use it on the fleeing lizards!"
[00:22] <Dark> I raise my hand at the last Kobold as it runs and shoot a arrow of blue from my palm
[00:24] <@tavolk> The gnome aims his crossbow but seeing you use your magic lowers it again.
[00:25] <Dark> The Kobold reaches the verge of safty before the magic bolt hits it and its head explodes like a watermelon
[00:26] <Dark> "There" I grunt "Thats better"
[00:28] <@tavolk> "Indeed, well that could have been worse" says the gnome eying the spider worryingly "Can you do tht to anything?"
[00:29] <Dark> "Not yet at least" I mutter, holding my ringed finder to to my eye "This ring only works on spiders"
[00:29] <Dark> I flick my wrist and Jeff shrinks back to his normal size
[00:31] <@tavolk> "Still tis' a mighty impressive power to have." then to the other gnomes "We need help. Were heading to the fort you can come with us or fall back to the docks and help out there?"
[00:32] <@tavolk> Two of the gnomes discus something for a moment and then ask "We all want to help out wherever we can what do you need us to do?"
[00:32] <@tavolk> "I dont know" Drealdor replies "Nomine has the plan in mind" then turns to you expectantly
[00:33] <Dark> "Those who can move with stealth and range come with us to scout the Kobold army heading towards the fort" I call out "Everyone else should make their way and join the battle at the docks. Kobolds are swarming it and we need to keep it open until reinforcments arrive. Once they have you will all head up to the fort and protect it"
[00:34] <Dark> "Be warned though, the Kobolds seem to have seem to have somthing very powerful aiding them to be careful"
[00:36] <@tavolk> "We'll come with you for now. We can allways fall back later" said the other gnome
[00:37] <Dark> "Good man...errr gnome" I grin, patting him on the back as Jeff crawls around the dead Kobolds for anything useful
[00:39] <@tavolk> Amongst the kobolds jeff finds a small letter
[00:40] <Dark> "What ya got mate?" I ask as i bend down and pull the letter from its mouth
[00:41] <@tavolk> The letter reads "G H A L"
[00:42] <Dark> I frown through my pipe smoke as i hand it to Drealdor "Mean anything to ya?"
[00:42] <@tavolk> "Ghal? Dont know what it means? Some magic or trickery?"
[00:43] <Dark> "Not that I know off..." I sigh as i fold it up and place it in my pocket "Looks like a mystery for us to be solving"
[00:46] <@tavolk> "I hate mysteries" says Drealdor "we should move. I dont like the sound of this battle."
[00:47] <Dark> "Nor I. The Kobolds are pushing further and further"
[00:49] <@tavolk> "It seems they have breached the fort" says Drealdor pointing to a large explosion. I don't think there is anything we can do to help them now, shall we keep puching on?"
[00:51] <Dark> "We shall. The outer fort may be lost but i'm sure you have inner defenses. And I want to find out what the hells their generals are planning here"
[00:52] <@tavolk> "Shall we head north or south?"
[00:55] <Dark> "You got any other places that might be under attack on the way like this? I'm thinking we could free up some more support if we head along a route that takes us to the enermy leaders yet goes past gnome defenses. The Kobolds dont expect to have a group moving aorund the city rather then just hiding in established defenses"
[00:57] <@tavolk> "If we get up high we could plot a course and try and find any other gnomes to support?" he says then "i think theres a faster path to the north but a tower to the south, it;s up to you?"
[00:59] <Dark> "I dislike moving blindly around this city. We need a battle plan" I stunt out my pipe and look up with a determined look "The tower it is"
[00:59] <@tavolk> >>>>END<<<<

[22:01] <@tavolk> Nomine and Drealdor arrive at the tower, wich looks rather unsafe after being scorched by what apprars to have been magic, As they climb to the top the gnome points out a human in the town square who is easily visible due to his rather unusual height in comparison to the small creatures around him.
[22:03] <Dark> "Hello again" I grunt as i walk past
[22:07] <@tavolk> "You know that man over there?" Says Drealdor pointing towards the figure
[22:08] <Dark> "Yer. Met up before...he was with the elf the lizards are using as a prisoner last time i saw him"
[22:10] <@tavolk> "Why's he still in the square then? Looks like he just came out of the jail? Can we get a signal to him using magic, he could come in handy?"
[22:11] <Dark> "Not unless he can get a message out of a beam of death energy flying by him...hmmmm"
[22:12] <@tavolk> "What about that magic you used before? We could get his attention with it wouldnt we?"
[22:13] <Dark> "What magic? Shooting things? Creating giant spiders?"
[22:14] <@tavolk> "Something to get his attention? I don't know your limits?"
[22:15] <Dark> "Well lets hope he can see us then" I mutter before holding up my hand and shooting out a beam of red energy which flies a bit ahead of where he is looking
[22:20] <@tavolk> The figure looks around having seen the signal then holds his palm aloft and produces a ring of fire in the air
[22:20] <Dark> I shoot another beam that flies through the centre of the ring
[22:21] <@tavolk> The man now seeing you forms a word in the air it reads "Coming now"
[22:22] <Dark> Jeff clicks and i grin "Smarter then i gave him credit for"
[22:22] <@tavolk> With that he lowers his palm and merges his form into a bear, this bear then charges through the streets heading for the tower, he'll be there in a moment.
[22:23] <Dark> "RIght, whilst we wait for him why dont we have a look around the city? get an idea how bad the lizard problem is"
[22:26] <@tavolk> Gnomehold laid out in front of you appears to be abandoned save a few small groups of gnomes fighting off kobolds around key areas such as the City bank and town hall.
[22:27] <@tavolk> From the tower you can see the docks built into the side of the island overhanging the drop into the void
[22:27] <@tavolk> The battle doesnt appear to be going verry well as the kobolds are using their ships to rain arrows down on the defenders and the wall is breached in several places
[22:29] <Dark> "Well thats cheating a bit" I mutter more to Jeff then the Drealdor
[22:29] <@tavolk> "Indeed this doesnt seem to be going well..."
[22:29] <Dark> "You got an artillary or the like to shoot those ships down?"
[22:30] <@tavolk> The fort appears to have been breached and you can see a group of gnomes fleeing from a back gate into the city heading towards the docks.
[22:31] <Dark> Jeff hisses and I pat him on the head "Looks like the forts been lost..."
[22:32] <@tavolk> "There is one heavy aerbalest in the center tower of the dock but it seems to have been captured by the kobolds thats why we cant evacuate and why those kobolds havent been shot down. We must pray someone can man the Arebalast if we want to hold the docks>"
[22:33] <Dark> I pull out my pipe and grumble somthing...squinting in an attempt to get a better look at the aerbalest
[22:37] <@tavolk> There appears to be a kobold ship docked with the tower using a system of ropesand grapples... If only there was a way to break them from such a distance.
[22:39] <Dark> I mumble a few things from my pipe, watching the ship and waiting for the new arrival to come. "We have to take that thing down somehow..."
[22:40] <@tavolk> "Would magic work at this range?" The small gnome aims his crossbow thebn sighs "I cant hit that from here"
[22:42] <Dark> "I could try...but doubt it"
[22:43] <@tavolk> "What would you do?"
[22:43] <Dark> I flex my wirst and send a blast of blue arrow towards it
[23:06] <@tavolk> >>>>end<<<<<

[21:58] <@tavolk> Through sheer power of will Nomine manages to guide his bolt straight through the grapples and ropes holding the ship to the tower. As the winds catch the ship it drifts further away from the tower clearly now having nobody to pilot it the ship drifts off through the sky forcing several other ships to change their course.
[22:01] <Dark> "Well..." I grin "That actually worked"
[22:01] <@tavolk> "That was an amazing shot, how did you acomplish that. I thought even magic had its boundries!" Drealdor exclaims.
[22:03] <Dark> "Like I said before, I'm a Warlock not your avarage mage"
[22:03] <@tavolk> from below you hear a roar signaling that Darwin has arrived at the base of the tower.
[22:04] <@tavolk> "LOOK OUT!" Drealdor yells hurling you to one side and sending you both crashing down the stairs. As you come to a stop you see that the top of the tower has dissapeared in its place now some glowing rock. It seems your spellcasting has drawn some unwanted attention
[22:06] <Dark> Jeff hisses in irritaion and I brush of some dust, helping Drealdor back up "Seems the Lizards carnt understand good spellcasting.."
[22:07] <@tavolk> In your arms it appears that Drealdor is unconsious.
[22:07] <Dark> "Bugger"
[22:08] <Dark> jeff clicks and hits the gnome on the cheek with one of its legs as if trying to slap him awake
[22:09] <@tavolk> the gnome grumbles but appears to be out cold.
[22:11] <jawz> I charge in and up the stairs too see if they were ok
[22:13] <Dark> "Yo" I smile and wave as if meeting him at the local bar
[22:13] <@tavolk> In your bear form you can barely fit through the passageways inside the small tower. Your bulk makes the tower groan.
[22:14] <Dark> Jeff clicks and streatches its legs out as if expecting the tower to fall
[22:15] <jawz> I become overcome in a blinding light as i slowly rise off four feet to two, as i reach my full height the light fades revealing me to be human "i think its time to go"
[22:16] <Dark> "But ya only just got here" I grin before pulling the gnome onto my back piggyback style (Jeff pushing from the back) "We were able to get a fair view of the battle from here...Whats your plan?"
[22:17] <jawz> I turn and start running down "getting the feck out of here before it crashes on our heads, theres a fecking boulder up there!"
[22:18] <Dark> "I know that...it was shot at me"
[22:22] <jawz> I look back at the guy whilst running down the stairs "then you should know to move faster"
[22:22] <@tavolk> As you make it to the base of the tower the 4 Gnomes there shout "quickly after us theres a throng of kobolds heading this way" the Gnomes lead you across the road into a small iron works then motion for you to get down.
[22:23] <@tavolk> "We scouted the area before we can get onto the rooves and move that way, Fight our way out, Or move through the maze of backstreets.
[22:24] <Dark> I drop the KOd gnome in a safe place before nodding "Roofs may be the best choice"
[22:24] <jawz> I look around "i say the maze, witht he rooves we're targets, they have greater numbers so i dont recommend fighting our way out and should we navigate the maze of backstreets we can get out easier"
[22:26] <Dark> I simply pull out my pipe as i allways do when deep in thought and walk over to which gnome seems to be in charge of the group. "So whats the story?"
[22:28] <@tavolk> "After that flaming boulder came hurling at the tower we heard them coming up the streets moments later our scouts returned. We need to move quick or they'll sniff us out. They know we were here
[22:29] <jawz> I nod "i say the backstreets"
[22:29] <Dark> I puff my pipe before nodding "Move quickI think"
[22:41] <Dark> Jeff clicks and climbs on my back
[22:47] <@tavolk> "What do we do about Drealdor?" one of the gnomes chirps up?
[22:48] <Dark> "you lot got a way to wake him up?
[22:51] <@tavolk> "None of us are healers. Wouldnt know where to start!"
[22:52] <jawz> "i know some healing spells" i hold my hands over the gnome as they glow a light green
[22:54] <@tavolk> The energy passes into the gnomes body revitalising him. As he wakes he says "What happened?"
[22:55] <Dark> "Yo" I grin with my normal care free wave "You got knocked out and the tower fell down. Ya slept like a baby the whole time"
[22:56] <@tavolk> "Bloody warlock" The gnome says grinning "Saved your life and all you do is wave. Where are we now?"
[22:57] <jawz> "i believe we're in a metal works of sorts"
[22:57] <Dark> "We met another gnome party who were taking cover from a company of Lizards, thought we would crash at their place for a bit"
[22:58] <@tavolk> The gnome gets up and looks around "Where's the rest of 2nd company? I thought you guys were holding the fort?"
[22:59] <jawz> "doesnt look like that anymore"
[22:59] <@tavolk> "We were" the new leading gnome says with a mornfull look on his face
[23:00] <@tavolk> "And? How many go out?" Drealdor replies
[23:01] <@tavolk> "We were to guard the lords to the Docks but we were swarmed and the group split. I saw others flee to the Banks but i cant say for sure how many survived. Where is the rest of your group?"
[23:02] <@tavolk> "We spit a while down the road, they are held up on the roof of the MoonScroll Inn. We figured we could sneak up the tower without being seen."
[23:03] <@tavolk> The sounds of kobolds moving around outside gets louder.
[23:03] <@tavolk> "Nomine, where are we moving? Back to meet our group or forwards?" Drealdor asks.
[23:03] <jawz> "i think it a good idea to make our move now, lest they find us sooner" i whisper to the rest of the people
[23:04] <@tavolk> "I agree with the wize one" Says the newer Gnome
[23:05] <Dark> I have been sat silent for the whole conversation, holding my pipe in my mouth with a strangly serious face. "This battle..." i seem about to say somthing else before closing my mouth and standing
[23:05] <Dark> "We are moving, we will find other gnome groups and send them to reinforce the dock as planned. The fort is lost now"
[23:06] <jawz> I nod "then lets hurry, judging by the sound of the footsteps the kobolds are getting closer"
[23:07] <@tavolk> "The bacdoor or upstairs" the new gnome leader asks?
[23:08] <jawz> I look up then to the back "i say the backdoor"
[23:08] <Dark> "Roof is faster and less likely to get lost" I grunt "Streets are easy places for an ambush with the amount of lizards swarming the city"
[23:09] <@tavolk> Drealdor says "Indeed nomine but they have ships patrolling the skies aswell"
[23:09] <jawz> I nod "but moving by the roof tops will make us a target and more easy to spot by the numerous running around the streets"
[23:10] <Dark> "Ture..." I turn to Jeff and mutter somthing to it, the spider hisses and clicks and stomps and I nod "Allright, the streets it is. Gnomes, I will rely on you lot to know the way you are going"
[23:11] <@tavolk> "The rooves are closed in tight amongst us. Here your guess is as good as mine.
[23:12] <Dark> "Brilliant" I curse before looking up "Oh an incidently. Any gnomes that were at the fort, did you perchance see a glowing man and an tied up elf?"
[23:12] <jawz> I sigh, i look to the left and notice jeff "why not have the spider ahead of us, his vision should be enough to alert us of incoming kobolds"
[23:13] <@tavolk> the gnomes move to the back door. "No elf but there was a tall mechanical man. He was so powerfull, the gates did not hold him, he strode into our fort like there was nobody there."
[23:14] <jawz> I groan "great, chrome dome is here, why do i think all thats gone wrong here is his doing?"
[23:14] <Dark> "That will be the guy..." i mutter through my pipe before nodding towards jeff, who prompltly walks over to stand among the gnomes
[23:14] <Dark> "Cause it most likely is?"
[23:16] <jawz> I look at the man dryly "hush, it was rhetorical"
[23:16] <@tavolk> As you move out the back door you are faced with a choice. Go straight ahead or turn left.
[23:16] <Dark> Jeff raises onto its hind legs slightly and sniffs the air
[23:18] <@tavolk> Jeff senses nothing of danger nearbye yet, and a slight breeze from the left
[23:19] <jawz> I close my eyes and extend my arms, my hands and eyes begin to glow
[23:21] <jawz> I snap my eyes open "i sense something ahead, we should go ahead but with caution"
[23:22] <Dark> I raise an eyebrow before cupping both my hands and allowing them to glow too "Let me see"
[23:23] <Dark> jeff hisses and clicks as its jaws grip the edge of my robe and attempts to pull me left.
[23:24] <Dark> I sigh as my hands stop glowing and i pet the spider "I sense somthing down there...a pressence i have not felt since... But then again, jeff seems sure that he left is the right way
[23:25] <@tavolk> The gnomes seem uneasy waiting for you to decide.
[23:26] <jawz> I sigh "i say ahead, worst case scenario we fight but i sense something over there and it could very well help us"
[23:27] <Dark> jeff hisses again and swings the front of its body left to right as if shaking its head
[23:30] <jawz> I look at the spider and frown "hush you"
[23:34] <Dark> Sighing I pick jeff up and place him on my back, resting a hand on him "Come on mate, we will stay at the back and see whats going on. I promise that we will go your way stright after that...I'll even get you some meat. Ok?"
[23:36] <Dark> jeff still shows displeasure but falls stiller, allowing me to let go of it and gesture forwad. "We will see whats there" I declair
[23:37] <@tavolk> As the party moves straight down the corridor you come to a crossroads.
[23:41] <jawz> I close my eyes and chant as an aura of force surrounds me giving off a faint shimmer around my person
[23:41] <jawz> "i think we carry on ahead"
[23:42] <Dark> Muttering a word under my breath, my ring glows and a light shines around me as well. I simply nod, suddenly very serious
[23:44] <jawz> I close my eyes again and hold my hands out in front of me glowing
[23:47] <jawz> I snap my eyes open "left, but we must go with caution"
[23:48] <Dark> "Somthing is happing ever which way...2
[23:48] <Dark> "*
[23:49] <@tavolk> the gnomes look to you for guidence "which way do we go?"
[23:49] <jawz> "i stick with left, i feel we can take whatever is down there"
[23:50] <Dark> I sigh and nod, patting jeff slighlyt
[23:51] <jawz> ya know i havent got them listed
[23:53] <jawz> I turn to the left and slowly make my way down looking out for anything suspicious
[23:55] <Dark> i follow, staff held ready with my eyes narrow. I am clearly not happy with anything
[23:56] <@tavolk> A Kobold jumps out in front of you and runs downt he road jabbering in its language
[00:01] <Dark> I raise my hand and shot a blue arrow from it
[00:03] <Dark> The Kobold looses its ability to alk due to the fact that its head explodes
[00:04] <@tavolk> "Good shot Nomine" Drealdor chirps up "I guess we know there is an ambush now. Had best we not turn back?"
[00:05] <jawz> I nod "its for the best, better to live to gather more items than die for one that we may not reach"
[00:06] <@tavolk> as you move back to the crossroads you are left with two choices as turning right leads back to the army of kobolds
[00:07] <Dark> "Which way now then?"
[00:07] <jawz> I look to the left and nod "left is the best choice this time, i sensed less magic from that direction"
[00:09] <Dark> I sigh before nodding "Either way seems to be a pain in the ass to be honest"
[00:10] <@tavolk> "Im fed up with you two! I'm going this way!" Drealdor says heading straight on.
[00:10] <@tavolk> The other gnomes move to folow him glancing back at the two men.
[00:11] <Dark> "Well..."
[00:11] <jawz> I sigh "yeah their not gonna live long, i say feck em, they go their way we go ours"
[00:12] <@tavolk> One gnome in the rear hoists his crossbow higher uppon hearing your words
[00:13] <Dark> "I liked him" I sigh before looking back at Jeff "What do you think mate? I promise to follow your advice this time"
[00:15] <@tavolk> Drealdor looks back "Nomine come with me. You owe me your life remember!"
[00:16] <Dark> I chuckle "And do you remember me carrying you knocked out body from a colapsing tower?"
[00:16] <@tavolk> "Still saved your life giant" Drealdor says with a grin on his face.
[00:17] <Dark> jeff clicks and I sigh "Allright fine. I'll come, not like i have anything better to do"
[00:24] <jawz> I sigh and shake my head as i follow after the gnomes and nomine "i got a bad feeling about this"
[00:28] <@tavolk> As the party moves down the alley, led by Drealdor, you hear sounds of battle ahead. the gnomes look to the humans for advice
[00:29] <jawz> I shake my head "you didnt listen to me before so look to the guy with the spider"
[00:30] <@tavolk> "Nomine?"
[00:31] <Dark> I sigh before muttering somthing to Jeff who promptly jumps from my back and crawls up a near by wall, hiding on a ledge and getting a birds eye view of what is happening
[00:31] <Dark> After a few moments, the spiders crawls back down and starts clicking to Nomine
[00:32] <Dark> "interesing"
[00:32] <@tavolk> "What did jeff see?" Drealdo asks
[00:33] <Dark> "A dozen lizards fighting against a single magic user. The guy seems evil but jeff carnt be sure"
[00:33] <Dark> jeff clicks
[00:34] <Dark> "Oh and the guy is also hovering off the ground"
[00:35] <jawz> I sigh and slam my hand onto my face and slowly drag it down "great just great"
[00:36] <Dark> "Yup"
[00:37] <@tavolk> >>>>END<<<<

[22:25] <@tavolk> as the party approaches through the narrow street they see a throng of kobolds hammering into a door evidently trying to break in
[22:26] <@tavolk> As the party retreats out of sight to decide what to do they spot a figure abouve
[22:26] <@tavolk> He looks relatively normal, wearing a shirt, a waist coat, a heavyjacket, and a broad-brimmed hat. There appear to be gloing runes about his head
[22:28] <@Dorian> I stretch and crack my neck, "Well, this looks dangerous."
[22:28] <@tavolk> Drealdor jumps "Who are you stranger?"
[22:29] <@tavolk> The other gnomes nervously aim their crossbows up at the newcomer
[22:29] <Dark> I stand behind Drealdor, muttering somthing about not alerting the kobolds
[22:29] <@Dorian> "I'm Ivan, pleased to meet you." I smile, and offer Drealdor a hand to shake.
[22:30] <@tavolk> The gnome eyes you up for a seccond "Drealdor" he says moving to shake.
[22:31] <Dark> I am simply eyeing you suspiciously as Jeff climbs along the wall next to me, its eights eyes never leaving you either
[22:31] <@Dorian> As I shake Drealdor's hand, I glance at Jeff, "What's with the spider?"
[22:32] <Dark> Jeff clicks a few times before I speak up "His name is Jeff but thats none of your concern. What are you doing here?"
[22:33] <@tavolk> Drealdor chirps up "Those kobolds seem rather intrested in that door. Know whats behind it Ivan?"
[22:34] <@Dorian> "I live here. Well, not here exactly, but in the vicinity, at least. I'm on Field Research for Darkstar Academy. And yeah, two rather scared people. Was about to go help them out." I smile again, glancing at the Kobolds as I do.
[22:35] <Dark> Jeff clicks and i whisper somthing to him, prompting the spider to move its body as if nodding
[22:35] <jawz> "well this was pretty much what i expected to see" i sigh deeply as i look around
[22:37] <Dark> "What? a guy with a glowy head?" I ask, shaking the butt of my staff at Ivan's head
[22:37] <@tavolk> "Bloody sarcastic bear!" Drealdor says then looking back to the gnomes. "Okay men split up take up positons and get ready to cover us as we advance!"
[22:40] <Dark> I shrug at Jeff before moving to stand by Drealdor, Jeff remaining on the wall
[22:40] <@Dorian> "Step aside, Gnome. I'll show you how it's done." Immediately, my demeanor changes, as I gather arcane energies around my hands, focusing the primal fires of Creation onto my palms.
[22:41] <jawz> "not sarcastic, bored and exasperated at seeing stuff like this" i look up and groan "damnit, i need a hobby"
[22:42] <Dark> "Arcane?" I grin as I raise my own hand and allow it to be engulfed in purple arcane enegry "You aint the only one"
[22:44] <Dark> Jeff clicks in agreement with what Darwin had said
[22:52] <Dark> I nod to everyone to get ready before flexing a hand towards the Kobolds
[22:53] <jawz> I become enveloped by a dim white light, i fall onto my hands and knees as my features become more bear like until the light fades showing a bear in my place
[23:01] <Dark> One of the Kobolds that had been attempting to break through the door instead seems to think it would be better to paint the door with its brains. My beam helps him a great deal in this and its his broken body falls back with a thud
[23:07] <jawz> I back up a bit to get some running room and charge at the kobolds
[23:11] <jawz> As my claws pass through the kobold one thought plays on its mind, ooh fluffy before it fell to the ground three seperate ways
[23:14] <Dark> Clicking a couple of times from its position on a ledge on the wall, Jeff sprays out a thick web towards the Kobolds
[23:20] <Dark> The web clings to a Lizards arm but fails to grip enough to make any major diffrence
[23:21] <@Dorian> I slam my hands forward towards the Kobolds, forcing the flames outwards in a purple and green blaze.
[23:23] <@Dorian> The flames surround the Kobolds, boiling their blood and turning their scales a dark ash colour, killing them rather efficiently.
[23:26] <@tavolk> the door bursts open and you see a drunken man and a dwarf approach
[23:27] <@tavolk> Drealdor "Greetings strangers, care to tell me why those kobolds were after you?"
[23:27] <jawz> I grunt in my bear form smelling the alchohol coming off the drunk man
[23:28] <GreatUncleanOne> I heft my axe onto my shoulder and drop my shield arm, "I've no idea what those blasted creatures wanted but to plunder our gold and have our hides, I thank you for helping us out little ones"
[23:28] <Dark> I stay in the back poking one of the burnt Kobolds with my staff muttering somthing under my breath as Jeff clicks and pokes another, serching to no avail for meat that hasnt been incinerated
[23:28] <@Dorian> I lean round a Gnome and raise a finger, "Um, I'm not a midget. No offense."
[23:29] <Spiritcurse> "Ah, we didn't need yer charity! We were doing perfectly well by ourselves, weren't we, Stunty?"
[23:30] <GreatUncleanOne> "Quiet small one!" I snap at Spirit "You could have helped me with that door rather than drinking!"
[23:30] <@tavolk> Drealdor says to the dwarf "Whatre your names? And whore you calling little dwarf!"
[23:31] <Spiritcurse> "Professor Doctor Ladoc, MmC, BmC, at my own service. Who're you?"
[23:32] <GreatUncleanOne> "I am Thorvin Grudgefather, son of Glorvin, son of Dlorfin, son of Garbadin and so forth and you are all children in the eyes of the years I have seen" I say, eyes glazing over towards the end with memories
[23:33] <@tavolk> "Wonderfull a drunkard and an old geezer! Well what an intresting seige this has been. I havent seen thismany tallfolk in Gnomehold for a long time"
[23:33] <@Dorian> "Given name Ivan, academy Darkstar, batch 90358, Illumian Evocation specialist. Doctorate in applied pyromancy."
[23:33] <Spiritcurse> "Drunkard! I'm a wizard, a master of the arcane arts! Much more powerful than yourself, midget."
[23:34] <@Dorian> "Hmm? What do you specialise in?"
[23:34] <Spiritcurse> "Communications, usually."
[23:34] <@tavolk> "I got me three shots here that'll take you anyday DRUNKARD!" says the dwarf hoisting his crossbow
[23:34] <Dark> There is a clatter behind as a Kobold's helmet is thrown to the side by Jeff as it climbs over the dead
[23:35] <Spiritcurse> Both hands crackle with purple light as I take a step forward. "Oh, and killing shortarses that speak above their station".
[23:35] <@Dorian> "Look, guys, we don't want to fight. We have a city to take back!"
[23:35] <GreatUncleanOne> "A crossbow young one? What a foolish choice, nothing beats good old dwarven steel from the forges of your fathers"
[23:36] <GreatUncleanOne> "To take back from whom?"
[23:36] <Dark> "You may not have noticed but he is right" I say, stuffing somthing into my robe "We are at war!"
[23:36] <Spiritcurse> "Good idea, Doctor. We'll have to liberate the ale!"
[23:36] <Dark> "Or at least, our mini freinds are"
[23:36] <@tavolk> drealdor appears to be staring up.
[23:37] <Dark> I frown at him before looking for what he is looking at
[23:37] <GreatUncleanOne> "Your people have been friends of ours for many years little ones, I shall offer you my axe"
[23:37] <@tavolk> Above the party their seems to be an odd shape blocking the sun
[23:37] <@Dorian> After a quick glance around, I also look up, atempting to identify the shape.
[23:37] <@tavolk> it is moments before you realise its one of the Kobold skyships
[23:38] <Dark> I grip my staff and Jeff hisses at the ship "We better get out of the open"
[23:38] <@tavolk> ropes drop down and several kobolds pour onto the rooves slaying the gnomes posted there in moments
[23:38] <Spiritcurse> "I'm in as well, if I can chat with this doctor. While obviously not as practicised in the art as myself, he'll be fun to talk to."
[23:38] <@tavolk> "RUN OUT OF THE STREETS" Drealdor shouts
[23:39] <@Dorian> "Hey! I'm more or less MADE of magic, and... Wait... RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!!"
[23:39] <Dark> "Go" I snap, shoving Drealdor to the door as Jeff jumps from the dead and runs in a direction that it seems certain off
[23:39] <GreatUncleanOne> I follow his lead, running afterwards as fast as I can
[23:40] <Spiritcurse> I sprint afterwards, pausing only to grab my tankard.
[23:40] <@Dorian> I sigh, "Always with the running." before following Ladoc.
[23:40] <@tavolk> Drealdor glances back to his fallen brethren before moving quickly after the party
[23:41] <Dark> jeff never breaks step as it runs down the seemingly endless labarenth of builidings. Left, right, right, left, right, right, right. Past burning bodies of gnome and Kobold alike and debirs of battle.
[23:41] <@tavolk> as your pass a door drealdor shouts "Stop!"
[23:42] <Dark> Jeff snaps its jaws at the interuption and i grunt "What now?"
[23:42] <Spiritcurse> "Time to maul more kobolds?"
[23:42] <@Dorian> I stop, "Any specific reason for this?"
[23:42] <GreatUncleanOne> "*Hfff* Shall we *Hffff* Take a *Hffff* Breather?"
[23:43] <@tavolk> "this is the MoonScroll Inn." Then to the newcomers "some of my troops are held up on the roof here."
[23:43] <Spiritcurse> "Inn? I like the sound of that. There any magic shops nearby?"
[23:43] <Dark> "If they are still here then lets go get them" I jerk my head and jeff begins to climb the wall towards the rood as I move to open the door
[23:44] <@Dorian> "Yes, alcohol would be appreciated. As would magic."
[23:45] <GreatUncleanOne> "Let us go inside and join these little people then!" I say
[23:45] <@tavolk> As you enter the building you see a small gnome rush up the stairs
[23:46] <@tavolk> Drealdor makes off after him
[23:46] <Dark> "Allways running somewhere" I mutter and follow, wondering how they had reacted to Jeff reaching the roof before us
[23:47] <GreatUncleanOne> I run afterwards "Why so many, STAIRS?"
[23:48] <Spiritcurse> "Oi, gnome. Where's the nearest magic shop? I'm all out."
[23:48] <@Dorian> I sit down, and sigh, "Time for a pint... Ladoc, was it?"
[23:49] <Spiritcurse> "Aye, Professor Doctor Ladoc, if we're being formal."
[23:49] <@tavolk> As you reach the roof you see the ship from before heading towards you. There appears to be 3 Gnomes setting up a large crossbow of sorts with another three firing at the ship with standard issue gnome crossbows. Drealdor is hurling orders at the crew with the large crossbow.
[23:49] <@tavolk> "GET THAT BAR IN PLACE YOU SLACKERS WE NEED TO BRING THAT SHIP DOWN! NOW!"
[23:50] <Spiritcurse> I sit down at the table, hefting my tankard. "Shall we join in as soon as we get some scrolls? I don't have much left in me."
[23:50] <GreatUncleanOne> "Need any help with that little men?" I ask the crossbow crew
[23:50] <Dark> "Ooh" I laugh as Jeff appears sat ontop of the spare crossbow bolts "Looks like we got some more air support to bring down"
[23:51] <@Dorian> "Well, formalities do so clog down conversation. Also, make it a pint of Gnomish Ligh a piece and some scrolls (which I am sure they would be glad to donate to the defense), and you're on."
[23:52] <Dark> "Hey Drealdor" I call out "What do ya need?"
[23:52] <Spiritcurse> "They are useful in some cases, of course. Arcane or divine scrolls, I'm not too fussy - my college was rather multicultural."
[23:52] <@tavolk> drealdor looks at the dwarf for a seccond before saying "get a weapon and hold the downstairs anyone with magic hit that ship, talk to our healer for scrolls"
[23:53] <Spiritcurse> "Just direct us to a magic shop, we're likely to need a few."
[23:53] <@Dorian> "Ok, he said healer. Let's hang around him, get some scrolls, and cause as much destruction as we possibly can."
[23:53] <Dark> My eyes suddenly show a look of mischeif and i jog over to the healer "You have scrolls?"
[23:53] <GreatUncleanOne> I run down the stairs "YOU MAGIC BOYS, GET YOUR SCRAWNEY ARSES UP THERE, GET SOME SCROLLS FROM THE HEALERS AND GET BLASTING!"
[23:54] <@Dorian> "Sodding Dwarves..."
[23:54] <@tavolk> Next to Darwin there is a flash of light. A familiar figure seems to grab the small man and they both dissapear in a shout of "I'M NOT FLUFFY!"
[23:54] <GreatUncleanOne> And then run over to the door, hefting my axe and shield into a defencive stance near the door, ready for anyone coming in
[23:54] *** jawz quit (Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- Chicks dig it)
[23:55] <@Dorian> I stand up, and head around to see if I can spot anyone who looks like a healer.
[23:55] <Spiritcurse> "No volume control, right? Still, these should do." I grab a handful of scrolls and begin leafing through them. "Magic missile, burning hands, summon undead, shield... We're good."
[23:55] <@tavolk> "Yeah should be something for you there" a small gnome says
[23:56] <@tavolk> Drealdor says "we raided most supplies as the seige began"
[23:56] <Dark> Jeff seems to chuckle as it watches me begin to flick through the scrolls, treating them with care but still looking to greatly enjoy myself in seeing what they have
[23:57] <@Dorian> "Hmm... Magic Missile, Burning Hands... Any of that 'Melf's Acid Arrow' spell?"
[23:59] <@tavolk> "Think i have one..." says the small Gnome "Here he says theres two"
[23:59] <Spiritcurse> "No chance of a Mass Harm, is there?"
[23:59] <Dark> "Hey, you got anything like Scourching Ray or somthing like that?"
[00:00] <@tavolk> "Ha yeah were gnomes we tend to use machinery less magic" drealdor says "still ask Twitch there he says indicating the small gnome
[00:00] <@Dorian> "One a piece, then. Also, they don't have sodding Summon Undead, they won't have Mass Harm." I pick up around 10 Magic Missile scrolls and 3 Burning Hands scrolls, as well as one of the Melf's Acid Arrow scrolls.
[00:00] <@tavolk> "I... I ... I think theres two scourching rays here aswell"
[00:00] <@Dorian> "Ooh, dibs!"
[00:01] <Spiritcurse> "Got a copy of flight?"
[00:01] <@tavolk> "You wish" another gnome chuckles
[00:02] <@Dorian> "I can cast Levitate, man."
[00:02] <Spiritcurse> "Bah, I'm a close combat mage. Get me up there?"
[00:03] <@tavolk> Drealdor says "right nomine send that spider of yours to cover the stairs and one of you casters support the gnome... Someone man this firebolter" Indicating the large crossbow "Sharp your on shooting down anything you can see with it. Twitch keep us protected."
[00:04] <@Dorian> "Havoc at close range. I like it!"
[00:04] <Spiritcurse> "Ivan, you and me grab some fire scrolls, reckon we can get on board?"
[00:05] <@Dorian> "Should be able to. Got Feather Fall for the exit, as well."
[00:05] <GreatUncleanOne> "Stop bickering and get that airship down magicmen! I'm keeping this damn door shut, these kobalds are trying damn hard to get through!"
[00:05] <@tavolk> drealdor looks surprised " you mages got that ship then? we'll work on getting dug in."
[00:05] <Spiritcurse> "Protection from fire? This could go wrong."
[00:05] <Dark> I nod at Jeff and the spider goes to where it was ordered before giving a last look at the healer "You got anything that you think would be useful? I'm asking for your opinion"
[00:07] <@tavolk> Twitch looks at you and hands you a scroll
[00:07] <@Dorian> "You got any Protection from Energy scrolls?"
[00:07] <Dark> I raise an eyebrow as I look at it before nodding and placing it into my robe "Thank you"
[00:08] <Spiritcurse> "Any damage spells that don't use electricity or fire? I don't want the thing going up before we tell it to."
[00:08] <@tavolk> twitch says "were out now" then rushes over to help Sharp load the crossbow
[00:09] <@Dorian> "I've got... Magic Missile? Yeah, that's it."
[00:09] <@tavolk> Sharp spins round "DWARF OPEN THE DOOR! GET READY FOR A FIGHT"
[00:09] <@Dorian> "Look, let's just go, shall we? It's now or never!"
[00:09] <Dark> "Allright" I clab my hands, seeming to only really be half paying attention "Shall we work on blowing up a ship full of lizards? They got that door"
[00:09] <Spiritcurse> "Force isn't powerful enough - sonic or negative energy?"
[00:09] <Dark> "Oh yer" I flex my hand, mutter a word, a Jeff doubles in size "Good luck mate! Happy eating"
[00:10] <Spiritcurse> "Yeah, sod it. Let's roll."
[00:10] <GreatUncleanOne> "I'm opening the door, you all ready for this?"
[00:10] <@tavolk> "DWARF MOVE" Sharp shouts aiming the mysterious "firebolter" at the door
[00:10] <Spiritcurse> "Always - I'm inebriated enough for anything."
[00:11] <Dark> I say nothing, holding the ring up and muttering another word till my body glows slightly, the light dying after a second
[00:11] <@Dorian> "Indeed!" I begin chanting slowly and deliberately.
[00:12] <Spiritcurse> "Am I gonna need to hold on?"
[00:12] <GreatUncleanOne> I rip open the door and jump out of the way of the firebolter "FOR JUSTICE!"
[00:12] <@tavolk> Sharp pulls a trigger and a bolt flues striang through a kobold then hitting the far wall consumes the hall in a green fire
[00:12] <@tavolk> the kobolds inside burn away
[00:13] <Dark> Jeff gives a deafneing roar thanks to its increased size, stamping its eight feet as the Kobolds burn. You carnt tell if its a approves of the burning of the lizards or not
[00:13] <@Dorian> "Probably not." I say, a breif corona of air magic surrounding me. "I've get a disc!" At that, I chant for a brief moment more, and a disc of appears floating 2 ft behind me at about waist height.
[00:13] <@tavolk> sharp shouts something you cant hear then "there are more coming" as five more come through the door
[00:14] <Spiritcurse> "Very classy." I take a seat on the disc, settling in for the flight."
[00:14] <@Dorian> I smile, and run for the edge, jumping off of it with a cry of barely restrained glee and soaring upwards, the disc staying in the exact same position in relation to me.
[00:15] <@tavolk> "good luck mages" Drealdor shouts after you.
[00:15] <Spiritcurse> "Oh god, this is fun. Why didn't I learn this one?"
[00:15] <Dark> "Oh so my magic aint good enough for ya is it ya bloody gits" i growl before randomly pokming jeff with my staff
[00:18] <@tavolk> Sharp and twitch are busy reloading the firebolter. One of them, probably sharp, curses loudly and fiddles with the side of the large device
[00:19] <Dark> the giant Jeff stomps again and I shrug before moving to stand by Sharp "Whats wrong"
[00:20] <@tavolk> "just the bolter acting up" he mumbles then releases a catch and somethign clicks into place
[00:21] <Dark> "Good"
[00:24] <GreatUncleanOne> I swing forth my axe at the remaining kobolds, slicing one asunder "THAT'S FOR GIMLINOR YOU LITTLE BASTARDS!"
[00:25] <Dark> "Whos Gimlinor when hes at home?" I ask as I raise my hand and shoot a beam or red light from it
[00:27] <GreatUncleanOne> Tears brimming in the corners of my many eyelids as I recall memories from long hence "A FINE DWARF AND A BETTER WARRIOR!"
[00:27] <GreatUncleanOne> *Manly
[00:27] <Dark> A Kobold's head explodes in a flash or red light and I actually pause, staring at my hand as if shocked my attack had worked "Huh? Ah yer, I'm sorry to hear about that. I'm sure he died well"
[00:27] <Dark> Jeff roars again as he walkes over us and slams into the Kobolds
[00:28] <GreatUncleanOne> "He died in the glory of serving our people against these wretched creatures! Their name burns legion in my book!"
[00:29] <Dark> I grin and nod at you as the sound of screaming signals a Kobold vanashing into Jeff's maw. There is the sound of crunching bone before the body (now missing everything above its mid-torso) slams to the ground a few inches from my feet
[00:30] <@tavolk> Another wave of kobolds approaches the hallways and up the stairs to the rooftop
[00:30] <Dark> "Fire the bow!"
[00:32] <@tavolk> "ITS JAMMED!" Yells Sharp
[00:32] <@tavolk> Next to him Twitch raises his palm towards the kobolds
[00:33] <@tavolk> Several blue darts fly into the nearest two kobolds throwing them back and killing them.
[00:33] <Dark> "I thought you fixed it! And nice"
[00:34] <@tavolk> twitch looks away quickly and fiddles with the bolter
[00:35] <GreatUncleanOne> I charge forward, a rune glowing bright on the leatherbound book on my back, the chains heating a little where they touch it as I cleave another kobold in half for the glorious dwarven nation
[00:36] <Dark> I am too busy loooking at the crossbow and dont even look as i flex my hand again, this time the beam flying of few inches over a Kobolds head
[00:38] <Dark> Jeff attempts to stomp its legs but the lizard darts to the side at the last second
[00:39] <@tavolk> the gnomes finally load the crossbow and manage to fire off a shot. Again it burns the kobolds in range.
[00:40] <@tavolk> "Get that door shut and hold it" Drealdor calls
[00:41] <GreatUncleanOne> I run towards the door and slam it shut, "I'LL HOLD THE DAMN THINGS OUT!"

[00:15] <@tavolk> As you fly towards the ship you see they havent seen you yet.
[00:15] <Dorian> "Keep quiet. We may be able to sneak up on them."
[00:16] <Spiritcurse> "Will do" I reply with a hushed whisper, conjuring some purple flames around my hand.
[00:17] <@tavolk> You see that you could board the ship from the rear into the cabins or straight onto the main deck.
[00:17] <Dorian> "Main deck?"
[00:17] <Spiritcurse> "Personally, cabins, but either works for me."
[00:18] <Dorian> "Cabins it is." I start to aim for the cabins.
[00:19] <@tavolk> As you fly under the ship you hear an uproar from inside the ship hundreds of kobolds scrabbling about
[00:20] <Dorian> "Well, this might be fun."
[00:20] <Spiritcurse> "Torch it all from outside?"
[00:21] <@tavolk> You arrive next to the closed windows at the rear of the boat and see them to be filled with 5 kobolds in each tiny room
[00:21] <Dorian> "Torch it all from outside. Sounds fun."
[00:22] <Spiritcurse> "Yep, commence torching." I pull out a scroll, and point towards the ship.
[00:23] <Dorian> I take out one of my scrolls of Burning Hands, and begin reading aloud from it.
[00:23] <Spiritcurse> I speak in time, more for dramatic effect than anything.
[00:28] <Dorian> "Wait, I know these ships. They need a caster to stay afloat. Burn our way in, kill the fucker, then we jump for it?"
[00:29] <@tavolk> As your flames hit the ship it burns where you focus your power but wont alight fully. You manage to burn a gap large enough for the two of you
[00:30] <Spiritcurse> "Works for me. And I know just the thing to do it with." I draw my greatsword and leap onto the ship.
[00:30] <Dorian> "Well, that works." I float in, and begin to chant a different spell.
[00:31] <@tavolk> there appear to be no kobolds inside the compartment however you hear scrabbles outide the door
[00:31] <Dorian> As I finish my spell, a demonic wolf climbs out of a small rip in reality, howling it's arrival.
[00:32] <Spiritcurse> I rummage around in my pack for a few moments, pulling out a parchment. Seconds later, a skeletal warrior stands beside me, and I put the blank sheet back in my bag.
[00:32] <@tavolk> At the sound the door opens a trog comes through flanked by two kobolds.
[00:33] <Dorian> "Well, this might be fun."
[00:33] <Spiritcurse> "Aye, glad I brought my papers."
[00:37] <Dorian> I point at the Trog as I draw a scroll of Magic Missile, invoking it's magic and sending the spell towards one of the Kobolds. The wolf jumps towards the Trog, and bites for it's jugular.
[00:37] <Spiritcurse> I lunge for the troglodyte, swinging my sword in a wide arc, and slapping with a crackling hand of fire.
[00:38] <Spiritcurse> The sword just misses, but the fire burns a bloody wound in the trog's torso.
[00:40] <Spiritcurse> The skeleton's sword similarly fails, and he trips over in a particularly bad display of swordsmanship.
[00:42] <@tavolk> the trog and the kobold both charge at the wolf
[00:42] <Dorian> The wolf fails almost as hard as the skeleton, but manages to keep it's feet. Meanwhile, the Kobold is recovering from having a bolt of force lodged in it's solar plexus.
[00:45] <@tavolk> the two manage to hit the wolf wounding it badly
[00:48] <Spiritcurse> I swing again, in time with my skeleton, smashing the trog in both legs.
[00:50] <Dorian> The wolf lunges at the trog as I fire a bolt of force at the Kobold.
[00:52] <Dorian> The wolf pulls the Trog's throat out rather satisfyingly as the Kobold smashes to pieces from the force.
[00:53] <Spiritcurse> With the foes defeated, ignoring the jangling from my armour, I run through the ship in a hurry. My skeleton fades into nothing after some seconds.
[00:54] <Dorian> I jog after Ladoc, smiling as I go.
[00:55] <@tavolk> as you move through the ship heading upwards you come across a few kobolds but seeing the glowing symobols obove Ivan's head all flee. You reach the deck without interuption however in front of you are about 20 kobolds they cluster up as they rush you.
[00:57] <Spiritcurse> I mutter a word of hate and point at the crowd, doing my best to look terrifying.
[00:57] <Dorian> I sigh, and start to focus on a spell, creating and subsequently expelling a wave of arcane fire from my hands.[00:57] <@tavolk> >>>>>>END<<<<<
