[The Wandering Bard]

OOC: IF you are still waiting for your moment to intro yourself now would be the perfect time. also your character would have heard the conversation as the SEER would know of your presence and shared it with you. (you know who I'm talking to :) )

[dndmaster]

Watching all this from a corner, I look at the people assembled and think if it will be enough..... deciding that the only way to find out will be to trust in the 'Seer'. With that I step from the shadows, with my purple cape billowing out behind me revealing my beautifully crafted chain shirt. Beyond that the only other thing besides my backpack is a strange look rod that I carry in my hand.
"Greetings I am Gabriel, I have also been waiting. Thank you for coming."

[The Wandering Bard]

"Greetings Gabriel It seems as our expected friends have arrived. Every one I would like to introduce you to Gabriel....he is....Gifted. I know that he will be an asset to our cause."

the use of the word OUR in the last sentence gives you the feeling that there is little room for argument about the newcomer traveling with the group.

[Anaesthesia]

Sparkle regards both Gabriel and The Seer with a slightly puzzled look.

[The Wandering Bard]

The Seer turns towards the gathering. I have prepared a gem that one you swear that you will not reveal any information about me the gem will using prevent you from giving any information about me away. but this magic is permanent until I destroy the gem.

the Seer presents the gem to the part. the gem floats about 4 feet off the ground sparkling in the flickering light of a magically light torch.

Nathain the young warmage steps up. looking over the seer he swears over the gem. following him Aesar the young cleric steps forward "I have prayed for guidance and found you to be truthful in the eyes of my god, I will swear this oath to you." after the priest swears the oath the rest of the Elven commanders companions and the elf step forward and swear over the sparkling green gem.

Looking to your party the Seer seems to say...well its up to you now.

[Maelstrom]

Crowblaze, used to taking orders, steps forward and examines the gem, waving a mithril-laced arm under it. He leans forward, his face inches away as he peers into it. Then realizing everyone is watching, he speaks into it, swearing the oath.

He steps away and speaks to the Seer. "I was built for war by a master who thought control must be established over the weak through force and fear. I have now seen and heard of many other beings of flesh that have a similar mentality, which I as of yet cannot fathom. I have no desire to serve such a master again. Further, I now know that I cannot stand to let oppression and murder continue, and am ready to fight against those that perpetrate it. My impression of you is that you share that common goal. Is that correct?"

As he completes the speech, Crowblaze crouches forward, his eyes glowing brightly with intent and his body tensed for action. He holds his longspear in both hands, not threatening the Seer but held in a high state of readiness.

[D'argos]

A sound like cloth caught in the wind comes from beside the party. a tall form in deep rich blue robes walks to stand beside the scout.

"I am sorry for the deception to you all. I am not allowed to leave this room, I have been bound to these pillars and the magic can only sustain me to the doorways and the walls. You may have heard or seen images that look like me. they are small portions of my essance that I use to care for these Caverns.

I have called or herded (looking to Rok) you all here for a reason. Any disception was not meant with cruel or evil intent. I need those gathered here for a reason. I believe that all of you in some small part were searching for me in anycase.

Rok, you seek me though you do not know it. you seek me because I hold the knowledge of the missing villagers you seek.


the Seer begins his talk again. "I must ask you now. I know that you do not know enough of me to fully trust me but I must ask you to. Can I share a secret with you that will help to explain all that is and has happened?"

((OOC: Rok's massive form relaxes a bit and he hangs Firefang loosely on his shoulders... He steps forward a bit... cautious and watching everything.))

"Rok is willing to hear your story out friend. 'Especilly if you want to help Rok find missing villagers, Rok only find one missing person... And he refuse to get in Rok's bag. (eyeing Crowblaze). Rok is willing to hear you out. Please tell me your troubles friend "

[The Wandering Bard]

you are correct Crowblaze I share that goal with you. I intend to stop the mass genocide of a variety of races found of no use to a warmogner in the north. Many of you have encountered but part of this killers horde, and some of you know of it.

I intend to stop the one behind this madness but there is a secret I am unable to share with you unless you swear to me that you will not reveal it. vor if you do I shall be destroyed by the one that has contained me in this room. If you question my movitaves then take this scroll (a small tube moves to float in front of the party.) inside is a scroll of alignment detection. It will tell you if I am evil or good or meerly neutral. it has been enhanced to penetrate all magical barriers as well.

[Zane]

Mursharr ignores the offer of the scroll and steps forward and places a hand on the gem. "Mursharr give word to not tell of blue robed seer elf. Mursharr not care about secret, Mursharr just want stop Lord Shadows." He then steps back off to allow other room to get in.

[The Wandering Bard]

Thank you Mursharr, Again I am sorry for using my magic on you. After the rest of your friends promise on the gem I will explain all that I can to you. you will see why I have done what I did."

[D'argos]

Thank you Mursharr, Again I am sorry for using my magic on you. After the rest of your friends promise on the gem I will explain all that I can to you. you will see why I have done what I did."


((OOC: approaches gem cautiously, and takes a few minutes to study it, trying to determine its worth...))

"Ok...Rok promise.. to be good boy.. to uphold justice... for liberty.. and to share no secrets. "

[Zane]

Mursharr moves around the room quickly while the others are milling about the gem. He greets Ves and Raph, pleased to see them again. "Yes Raph, Mursharr no dead. Raph kept elf Ves alive, good job." There is some obvious pleasure in his voice and it is easy to assume that he is smiling.

[headeast76]

Barravas looks over at Mursharr and seeing him put his word on the line for this blue robed person steps forward and says "By my ax and my soul I give my oath"

[Maelstrom]

Crowblaze moves to Gabriel, his scholars robe doing little to mask his construct nature. He bows very slightly. "It is good to meet so many willing to give an oath to such a cause. Never have I been able to be part of such a gathering. Gabriel, I am Crowblaze, forged by a powerful wizard only a few years ago but exiled after my sentiments and curiosity became too much of a burden. What brings you on such a quest as this?"

[dndmaster]

"My masters have given me the task to find this shadow, as it is an abomination to the world we live. They told me to find the one known only as the Seer and swear my loyalties to him as he will build a group to help with my quest." With that I look to the others and thank them for their decisions to join in the cause.

[D'argos]

"SSHAADDOWW!" ((Rok says with a large uproar))

"Does this shadow have horns ? A shadow trapped Rok earlier! Rok stuck with little no food, forced to wait for new friends to rescue him. Rok destroy Shadow !! SMASH, SMASH, SMASHH ! Rip asunder, nothing left ! Where is this 'Shadow" at ? Rok take care of this now.

[The Wandering Bard]

(Seth, Seryl, and Sparkle...For story line sake I will say that you swore the oath like all the others.)

Satisfied with the oaths sworn upon the gem the elf pulls back his hood revealing an elf who looks to be in his mid 20's (human aging.) his thick blonde hair cascades over his shoulders and down his back. "As promised I will share all that I can with you. My name is hard for many to pronounce thus I have taken the name Glitteran Songweaver though I look to be a young elf, I am nearly 3000 years of age in mortal reckoning. My clan was reknown amoung our kind for is divination abilites and we became accomplished seers. we have defended this land for centuries, millenia even. but nearly 20 years ago a being was created...or spawned, there is debate on this. the being has the magical ability to evade divination and thus for years we have been unable to trace the Lord of the Shadows. we are unsure if it is older the 20 years, we only started receiveing records of its deeds twenty years ago leaving us to assume that it is older. It has sought our my clan and destroyed al but myself. I was left to scry for his army providing information to lead his armies to victory. not long ago a band of adventurers entered my domain, I hid this information from my captor and they managed to defeat my captors guards, and banish him to the depths of this cavern. the Lord of Shadows never entered my domain so I never had a chance to see it, but he summoned the deamon that was banished, back for the abyss where it resided after its last defeat. I was caught unaware the first time but after the demons banishing I made it my quest to destroy the Lord of Shadows conquest. Before the demon was vanished he placed a spell on my lair locking me in this room. as far as I know there is no way to lift the spell and I am bound to this, my chamber. I have been lucky enough to find spells that aid my wuest, spells that allow me to create shadows or images of myself to do my bidding.

All of this is not the secret, I know you wonder why a being as strong as He who is the shadows, would fear a meer elf. but I am more then that."

as he finishes the statement the elf throws his hands in the air. as the party watches the elfs face stretches as does much of his body. his neck grows long and sinewy. scales burst from underneath the supple elf flesh. the scales glow with a silversheen.

"I am Gelthin'doner, a servent of Good and one of the last Songdragons. now you can understand my need for secrets. I managed to convince the lord of shadows that I was killed, I trapped on of the remaining guards adn took the form of another and told the guard that the dragon was dead...killed by adventurers. I have not been visited by the lords minions since and assume that he thinks I am dead."

"In answer to your question Rok, the shadows serve the one banished to the depths. I have frightened them off for now but they will return."

[Fsuphilosophy09]

Seth falls over in surprise "A.. a... a.. dragon!" The young man is astonished by the presence of such a being and is completely humbled. Kneeling down on one knee his eyes immediately hit the floor. "What then will we do about the forces attacking, the great army that surges forth looking to destroy all that is good?"

[Zane]

Mursharr's head tilts to the side as he watches the transformation. AsGelthin'doner finishes his transformation, Mursharr moves around the dragon, taking in the sight of such a creature. When he finishes, he moves to stand before Gelthin'doner and he bows deeply. "Mursharr honored to meet real seer. Mursharr only wish able to tell clan of meeting, but Mursharr will not."

[Maelstrom]

Crowblaze' jaw drops at the transformation, his eyes glowing more strongly in interest. After Seth asks his question, Crowblaze recovers and adds in, "What can we do against a being who's mere servant can cage a dragon, and he himself can destroy a clan of dragon seers?"

Crowblaze tries to think about what he knows about the Songdragon clans: Knowledge(history) check

[Anaesthesia]

Sparkle thinks for a moment about dragons she's heard of.
Explorer Lore


(OOC:Anyone else thinking of The Gamers charcter "The Shadow" *snicker*)

[Anaesthesia]

(For some reason, it's not showing both rolls in the same post)

Bardic Knowledge

[Riftwalker]

Knowledge: Religion check for additional information about Songdragons and mythic history about Lord of the Shadows (if applicable)

[Zane]

((OOC: Sorry, but after that slew of Knowledge checks, I couldn't help but do this...))

Mursharr glances at all the humanoids standing there with their chins in their hands, curious as to what is happening.
Knowledge (human habits, -10 for unfamiliarity)
Edit: Mursharr just decides to just ignore them, not understanding what they are doing.

[D'argos]

((OOC: Initially Rok is very shocked at the transformation as he clutches his weapon Firefang vey tightly wondering what is going on. He thinks for a long time before he speaks, trying to calculate his exact words…))

((You will not understand this next part unless you speak Draconic or a form of Dragon dialect)) In a very clear Draconic tongue: “Please forgive my transgression at what I am about to say. It has been a long time since I have spoken these words that my mother has taught me and I may not be able to adequately express them properly. I was under the impression that there were no song-dragons left… that you all had perished on some great battlefield in some lost forgotten war. I am pleased to see that something remains of your kind.

As you know, ogres and dragons have had a very violent and precarious relationship in the past. I will be frank with you; I do not trust your kind. Ogres have long been used as pawns in other races wars. We are almost exclusively pushed to the frontlines as cannon fodder or as line-breakers. Everytime we get involved we lose many more of our kind.. once strong families have now crumbled into dust.. many, many of our best warriors have gone to battle only to never retrun home again… proud male ogres that are our tribe’s fathers, brothers, uncles, and friends and all our tribes have suffered and become weakened because of the heavy losses. Again you ask of me to get involved.. Last time I got involved I lost my family. I lost my wife and my daughter...

((and in a much louder draconic voice this time)) ...I WILL NOT BE DESTROYED for the whims of others! I will not lose everything I am fighting to recover, I will survive; I will re-unite all the lost tribes and make them strong again! I will revive my culture and let others see my once proud strong noble race!

(( after a brief moment Rok recomposes himself))

I will not stand idly by either, though. I will help my friends.

I’m sorry, I want to apologize to you for my outburst, Gelthin'done. I am not trying to blame you personally for any wrongs we ogres have suffered in the past. I will do as you ask...

Because it is the right thing to do. I will do as you ask... because I want to change the world, I want to change the way others view ogres, I want to change the humans outlook as well as humanoids outlooks upon my proud and noble race. I will do as you ask, because these are my friends before you, but know this.. if you hurt my friends in any way, or if you betray us in any way. I will find a way to destroy you. Even if I have to face down the Demon Shadow lord himself, I will find a way.

[headeast76]

Barravas Looks up at the creature in awe and without hesitation drops to one knee and stammers " Please majestic Dragonkin show us the path that will destroy the evil demons who have trapped you here and killed your family and so many other innocent people....I vow to finish my life ending thiers."

[The Wandering Bard]

Crowblaze: you don't know that much about the Songdragons, what you do recall is; Songdragons are known to be the keepers of knowledge. they are the Hands of Nession (the god of Magic) the aided him in the distribution of magic to the mortal races at the creation of the world. The are the also credited as the creators and mentors of the bards and their power. They have the ability to change into any humaniod form, which made them the perfect liazons between dragons and the humaniods.

the Songdragons became wrapped up in a war several centuries ago when some mysterious force sent a horde of dragons, gray as stone began attacking the Songdragon clans. the songdragons retailiated and managed to stop the attacks but only a few clans survived.

Sparkle (you know almost exactly what crowblaze knows)

Seryl (you know what Sparkle and Crowblaze does with your knowledge check) the lord of shadows is thought to be a humaniod working with or under the influence of some demonic possession. Songdragons are thought to be a dragon of great power and celestial heritage. they are neutral by nature but have sided with those of good intention numerous times.

Looking towards Barravas the dragon lowers its long neck to the dwarfs level. "rise good dwarf, your respect speaks of your heritage, you honor your ancestors with your respect."

Rok, I understand your anger, I and I respect it as well. you are driven by your passion and anger at those who have wronged you in the past...that is something I can understand.

the dragon looks back and forth at all those gathered. Looking to the Elven commander who is kneeling in front of the silver creature his arm acrosshis chest. "You elf, I send you and yours after an artifact called the Horn of Koalaska, it will break the spell that holds me here. After that I will be able to aid the rest of you more."

"Rok I will eventually need your support in something I know that you will agree to. I intend to free the Ogres tribes from the lord of shadows and they need one of there own to show them the way. but until that time, I am sending all of you (Players party) after something called Durskinth. It is a large pink crystal the size of a large shield, it holds the essance of the demon that Is trapped below. If we can destory it then the demon will be vanished to hell it came from."

[Maelstrom]

Crowblaze moves up next to Rok, speaking in a low tone in Draconic, "Gar'rok Ironjaw, you have impressed me with your candor and protectiveness. When the current quest is over and the Lord of the Shadows is banished, I will make the cause of the ogres my cause, and by my spark will live to see the day when the honor of the ogre clans is restored."

He lowers his head deeply to Rok, before turning to the dragon, arms splayed out. "Gelthin'done, I will aid this party in any way I can to accomplish this task. Is this crystal deeper in these caverns then? What challenges should we prepare for?"

[dndmaster]

Listening to the Rok person talk, I can't understand a word of it but it seems to please the Seer I the nod my head as the rest of the others swear and the Seer transforms showing the others his magnificence.

[D'argos]

Crowblaze moves up next to Rok, speaking in a low tone in Draconic, "Gar'rok Ironjaw, you have impressed me with your candor and protectiveness.

He lowers his head deeply to Rok, before turning to the dragon, arms splayed out. "Gelthin'done, I will aid this party in any way I can to accomplish this task. Is this crystal deeper in these caverns then? What challenges should we prepare for?"

((Rok is taken aback by what he hears from Crowblaze..))

“Rok... Rok not know what to say to friend Crowblaze. Rok is.. ((thinks for a second)) ...I am honored by what you have said… Thank you. Thank you so much. Rok never forget this! Crowblaze is Rok’s friend for life. Rok promise to help friend for life out always. Rok so proud to have such a good friend.”

((Rok offers his arm out for a firm shake to show his friendship and gratitude))

“I only ask one favor.. Crowblaze… You will live much longer than Rok… Rok will not ask you to give up your life.. your spark so easily… And knowing you, ((couple of elbow jab motions his way)) it will not be an such easy task for anyone to do anyways, Ha-ha! Crowblaze what I try to do.. is not easy.. there is a good chance it will fail. If Rok do fall… Rok will only ask that you tell others of what Rok try to do. Ogres have long traditions of histories. All our histories are past by word of mouth. Every ogre hero’s tale is passed down by his family, and his tribesman through the generations. Rok has lost family… Maybe you can tell Rok’s tale one day. That is all I ask. ""

((Turns his attention to the songdragon))

“Yes lets be quick, time is against us, Rok have a bad feeling about this. What can you tell us about the enemy and their patterns…”

[The Wandering Bard]

What sounds like a purr issues from the Dragons mouth. "Yes the crystal is deeper down the caverns. I will open the passage for you. The Lord of Shadows has stolen most of my horde to fund his war but i was able to hide a small trove from him. its down the passage i will open. The keyword to the door is "Illenthue" I ask that you only take one Item each."

After that he turns towards the wall on the right (the wall the furthest away.) and mumbles some words in a language that now of you understand. the sound of grinding stone drowns out all conversation for a moment. the passage way is now open.

looking to Crowblaze. "I don't know what you will find down that passage, the deamon is looked away in a room far from the crystal, the I know that it has a fasination with the undead so you could expect the undead to roam the halls."

[dndmaster]

Catching the last words of take one item each puts me back a bit on my heels. Now this I didn't expect. I will have to ensure that he is honored by us freeing him. "Thank you Gelthin'doner, you honor us most dearly. We will free you and return your trasure to you."

[Anaesthesia]

With the party's path decided, Mursharr gives the Song Dragon another polite bow, "Mursharr return crystalll, evil deamon go away." With that, there comes more sounds from Mursharr unlike any that the others have likely heard before. Some might find them similar to sounds of grunts and growls, with differing degrees of intensities, but even then they could not be described quite so simple as that. ((OOC: If any players think that their character might actually understand it, PM me your languages and we'll see. WB - PM coming your way.)) After only a short time, Mursharr seems to finish and he moves (at a more 'normal' pace) for the newly opened passageway. Mindful of Gelthin'doner's warning, he draws out his bow and soon after entering he moves into the shadows, where he can move along and watch for any enemies, without being seen himself.
Hide and Move Silently, moving at speed 25
((OOC: For some reason the rolls did not show, so I'm trying to reroll with this edit. If two sets show, first numbers are the original numbers.))

[The Wandering Bard]

the dragon looks to Sparkle, "Thank you little sister. :)

"Gabriel take care of yourself, and watch out for the others."

The Dragon lowers his neck and head and begins to reply to the Scout, his thick throat warbles and growls. its eye lids close for a moment before it seems to smile.

Mursharr disappears down the tunnel. you can see down the tunnel 50 yards. 70ft. from you is another doorway, a warm yellow-orange glow shines through the doorway. you assume that this is the treasure trove.

((OOC: After I feel Musharr is far enough ahead for scouting distance I say my goodbyes and follow after, weapons at the ready.))

"Alright, if everyone is ready, Rok feel we should move out. Unless someone is injured, or needs to rest so that they can finger waggle and make the big booms !"

[Maelstrom]

“I only ask one favor..

"Whether I outlive you remains to be seen. I have the feeling that if Death himself comes to drag you to the Abyss, you will take his scythe and scare him away. But I will do as you wish and share your tale."

Crowblaze sighs mechanically as Mursharr leaves. "I will not be at full spellcasting potential, but my current capabilities should be sufficient for now. Its too bad my master never did teach me the rope animation spell... I would use it to tie Mursharr down for a night. Farewell, Songdragon."

He heads forward with the others into the tunnel, holding his spear at the ready and making sure his burning rock sheds sufficient light from the front of his robe.

[dndmaster]

Waiting for the last to step into the hallway to the treasure room, I look up and say, "I will do my best, they have come this far. You want me to take an item also form your treasure?"

OOC: How are you working the treasure thing? Are going to say what is there or are we to pick an item from a book at a GP value you choose?

[Zane]

Mursharr disappears down the tunnel. you can see down the tunnel 50 yards. 70ft. from you is another doorway, a warm yellow-orange glow shines through the doorway. you assume that this is the treasure trove.
Mursharr passes by the door for now, moving another 50 feet down the tunnel to make sure there are no enemies waiting for as far as he can see. After scouting it out, he returns to the door and waits for the others to arrive, but keeps to the shadows for now.

[The Wandering Bard]

OOC: Gabriel will also get an item, I will have a list of items that the party is able to pick from.

[Maelstrom]

Crowblaze approaches the door, moving as softly as his metal form allows. Making sure at least some of the others are nearby, he utters the phrase "Illenthue".

[The Wandering Bard]

Th doors of the chamber open silently at the activation word. before the party are mounds of assorted treasures but off to the side of the room are a few chests and racks that seem to demand your attention, no matter how hard you try to examine the other items you are always drawn back to the smaller mound. (list of items coming soon.) as you enter the room Glitterens voice appears in your head. "Touch the gem in the center of the room. from the gem my blessings will flow." (essentually if you place your hand on the gem, anyone who is not already lvl 4 will level up.)

[Anaesthesia]

Sparkle admires the gem before placing a hand on it.

[Zane]

((OOC: Yay for Denver - their airport actually has free wifi. Not so for St. Louis...))

Mursharr comes out of the shadows at the door as Crowblaze opens it. Hearing Glitteren's message, Mursharr moves to the gem as well. "Mursharr think song dragon blessings good ferrr all." As he feels the blessings flow into him ((Yay for XP :p)) after laying a hand on the gem, Mursharr emits a soft low growl that everyone can easily tell signifies contentment.

[Maelstrom]

Crowblaze touches the gem in turn.

[Riftwalker]

Seryl, seeing that none of her companions have been harmed by the gem, cautiously approaches and places her hand on it.

[The Wandering Bard]

Ves the tall elven commander and his companions walk into the room behind you. they each touch the gem in turn and move to face a sperarate pile of equipment that you assume was meant just for them. they each spend time sorting through the pile and find an item to their liking. As Aesar fastens on a glittering suit of brass scale mail he looks to the party. "I will pray to the gods to keep you safe and protect you from harm, we will meet again, I am sure as we each have a party in this quest."

The Elven Commander moves to stand next to the priest. "Good Luck, I wish you well. THe necklace I gave you should still work so if you ever need something just use the necklace." the elf continues to fidget with his massive glittering greatsword. as he slings the sheath over his back. moments later the group leaves the room and heads back towards the dragon. (working on the item list, should have it finished a little later tonight.)

[Anaesthesia]

((OOC-I would be interested in the cloak, dagger, rapier, gold/silver ring or the quiver, but leaning towards the quiver cloak or ring))

[Maelstrom]

Crowblaze looks through the items with great interest. He is particularly interested in the floating stone, but also is interested in the fine powder, the dragon ring, and the raven figurine.

[dndmaster]

Moving over to the pile I detect magic on some items.....Gold and Silver ring, fine silk cloak, fine pair of gloves. Spellcraft check (1d20+7=20, 1d20+7=13, 1d20+7=13) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1551620/) In order I named.

The Gloves are Gloves of Stoarge (able to hold an item of upto 5lbs in a small magical pocket. the item can be summoned and hidden at will and readying the item is a free action. also adds +5 to the DC of finding the hidden item. useful for small weapons a shortsword could be hidden in the glove and summoned into the persons hand in a instant as a free action)

[dndmaster]

I move over to the cloak as some of the melee weapons would not benefit me at all. I look over the ring and gloves and cloak and decide by the fine silk. "If it is okay with you all I would very much like this fine cloak here." Holding up the cloak for the others to see.

[Maelstrom]

((OOC - If we assume we take time looking at the items do you think we can get them all identified? Between my +9 spellcraft and Gabriel's +7, I think we out to be able to get most of em. If you don't want to do that, assume that Crowblaze will continue to look at all the equipment, trying to figure information about each in turn))

[Anaesthesia]

I'll take a look at the Vials of unknown substance. (Hoping a spellcraft is enough)

Spellcraft

[The Wandering Bard]

Vails:

1 Vail is a Cure Moderate wounds potion

1 Vail is potion of Bulls strength

1 Vail is invisability

1 Vail is a Potion of Holy weapon.

[Maelstrom]

Crowblaze looks through the pile of weapons, examining each with a critical eye, hefting them and swinging them, sharing any information he finds with any others that are interested

((OOC: All spellcraft checks))
Gray metal dagger
Dark leather quiver and arrow
Silver rapier
Bandolier w/darts
Glowing blue mace
Battle axe

He then looks at some of the other items that people haven't been able to determine information about:
Fine chainmail
The full helmet
The small ring with large jewel
The small leather bag with the gem

((OOC - I'm sure this will take a large amount of time, so if someone wants to help...))

[D'argos]

((OOC: Rok scracthes his head as he looks at the different items. He tries holding them, talking to them, screaming at them, using different phrases, different langauges and finally listening to them.))

"Rok gives up with a sad look...

Hmm..

Go Crowblaze, Go Crowblaze !!"" (starts a cheering section)


((PS thanks Sparkle)

[Anaesthesia]

((OOC: don't know if he can use this skill Spellcraft untrained, just trying to help Crowblaze with the process)

OOC: No, you can't use Spellcraft untrained.

[The Wandering Bard]

The gray metal dagger is a Cold-Iron forged dagger, its blade enchanted with a rune of returning. (IE: returning dagger :) )

The Mace is Hollowed Soul. (a knowledge history will reveal its history.) A Ghost touched Mace with a unique ability. 1/day the mace can emit a screem like those trapped in the nine hells. (will save dc14 or flee from the wielder.)

The bag with gems and gold: Is a bag of holding 1

Ring with large jewel is a ring of sustanace.

Helmet is a The Helmet of COmmand (+2 on Bluff, Intimidate, Diplomacy checks.)

Battle axe: +1 Keen Battle axe.

Chainmail: Mithril Chainmail of Fire resistance

[Maelstrom]

Crowblaze finishes looking through the items, telling Rok about the last of his findings (as well as anyone else listening in).

He puts the Quiver, Rapier, and Bandolier in a separate pile, telling everyone "I can't figure out what the properties of these three items are."

He then picks up Hollowed Soul, trying to remember what his original master told him about it. Knowledge(History)

Edit: ((OOC - Ugh, I assume that amounts to brain block :) ))

[The Wandering Bard]

haha sadly yes.. :)

[Zane]

I will Id the Rapier 1d20+6=23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1556874/) the quiver and last the bandolier 1d20+6=24, 1d20+6=7 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1556875/)
Mursharr watches Crowblaze set the quiver aside and as Gabriel looks it over, Mursharr does as well. Although Mursharr wasn't trying to identify it, he just felt drawn to it. When Gabriel finishes, Mursharr picks up the quiver and takes the arrow out to look closer. Seeing another arrow appear suddenly to replace the removed arrow, Mursharr perks up even more. "Mursharr like, keep arrows together," he comments as Gabriel explains what he determined. Turning back to the others, Mursharr holds out the quiver. "Mursharr keep this?" he questions, to make sure everyone is ok with the selection.

Upon agreement, verbal or just nods, ((I'm assuming it happens due to the OOC discussions)) Mursharr takes the quiver and sits down in a corner, where he can test the item to become familiar with how it works. He first returns the arrow he originally removed to see what happens, then he tries adding one of his higher quality arrows to the quiver, then a regular arrow, and then tries to switch the different arrow showing by simply thinking of which one he wanted.

As he becomes acclimated with the magical item (i.e. plays with his new toy), he starts rocking back and forth in his seated position, apparently quite pleased with the item. Those nearby him even note a soft steady murmur coming from Mursharr as he studies the quiver.

[dndmaster]

After explaining to Mursharr the properties of the quiver I ask the others, "If no one has any objections I would very much like to have this Cloak." I then begin inspecting the properties of it and the design. Noting that the color seems to shimmer a bit in the light, I find that it will be perfect. Untying my purple cape and placing the cloak around my shoulders I turn to someone and ask how it looks.....

[Maelstrom]

As the others disperse with thier prizes, Crowblaze picks up the bird figurine, admiring its shape and form. He then moves to an open area and invokes it, turning it temporarily into Clandein the Raven. He introduces himself to the bird, then returns it to its figurine form.

Crowblaze acknowledges Gabriel, "That cloak seems to be crafted of high quality. It definitely gives you additional presense."

"Shall we take a rest before we move on?" Crowblaze then stands in his rigid form as he enters his meditative state.

[Zane]

Mursharr glances up as the others each start selecting an item as well from the pile. Seeing Crowblaze asking for rest, Mursharr nods. "Mursharr watch hall, warn if bad things come."

With that, Mursharr moves to just outside the door, strapping his new quiver into place. He sits down right next to the door in the shadows, and works on placing his arrows into the magical quiver so he has less to carry around. However, he does keep one normal quiver of normal arrows packed away in his pack, just in case. He then spends the next few hours keeping watch on the hallway while his companions can rest.

[headeast76]

Barravas still shocked from the dragons words looks over the pile and looks at the battle ax first asking if anybody objected to him taking such a beautiful weapon. Ooc is it a large weapon or normal size?

[Zane]

((OOC: Yay, we were right.))
Just before he heads out of the room, Mursharr nods to Barravas, indicating that he should take it and get comfortable with the new axe.

[D'argos]

"Rok sleep then, if Musharr keep watch,.. wake me up for my turn"

(ooc: a loud snoring comes from the mountain as soon as Rok lays his head down)

[The Wandering Bard]

Ok......well, the night moves on quickly and quitely.

from further down the passage growling and shrieking can be heard but it sounds far away and it is an occasional thing.

[Riftwalker]

Seryl clears her mind and sleeps soundly, for it has been a long day. Just this morning they were rallied to the battlefield to defend against a horde of goblinoids, and now she finds herself deep underneath the ground. The Lady of the Forests often works mysteriously.

Upon waking, she prays for her spells for the day, requesting some in particular that would be helpful in deciphering the Celestial in the previous room. For a moment she wonders if her goddess' influence extends this far below the earth, but dismisses the thought as foolish.

OOC - Crowblaze copied the Celestial characters down when he saw them.

After meditating for some time, Crowblaze returns to awareness. He moves over to Seryl, extracting his bound notebook and showing her the copied celestial characters.

[Zane]

Mursharr remains on watch for a number of hours (4-5) before heading in to wake Rok to take a watch. Mursharr then lies down on the ground and curls up a little against the colder earth floor and sleeps for a bit. He wakes around the time that the others do, stretching himself a bit before actually rising from bed. He then collects his things and goes and checks on Rok to make sure everything is still ok.

[dndmaster]

Deciding to stay up a while and watch the others operate pays off as I see that they have really take to eachother as a group. This is reassuring, it will be easier to work with them if they work together.
While Musharr is on watch I ask, "Musharr, correct? Tell me a little about where you are from if you don't mind."

[The Wandering Bard]

"It is not what it appears. It reveals itself to all as one who gives aid. We recieved its aid, little did we know that all aid we recieved was flawed. Kelson requested knowledge unsurpassed by any on this world....he in turn was shifted to another plane of existance many years behind intellegence.

"Mmmrrr, Mursharr from out therrre," he says, swinging his arm out. "Urrr, not cave, Mursharr from wild. Mursharr clan move much, no stay one place. Where Purple Eyes from?" Mursharr asks in return, recalling that humans like to ask a question after answering one.

[dndmaster]

"They are from my mother. I was told that she had beautiful eyes! ooc: Can you describe yourself...

[Zane]

I thought it might be nice to have a place with character descriptions, especially since we have had new players joining us and they likely don't want to wander back through pages and pages to find the character intros.
((OOC: That work for you? And no, you did not miss it before, I just added the new thread after your request. :D))

"Mursharr no see purrrple eyes before - only purrple stone. How dragon get Purrple eye Gabriel here? Also dragon magic?" Mursharr keeps the conversation going for a bit, although the hood of his cloak indicates that he is keeping his eyes trained on the hallway the entire time.

[dndmaster]

Also keeping a wary eye about me, I respond with, "No dragon magic for me, I travelled to this place searching out the Seer. Having found him, I was instructed to be patient."

[D'argos]

((a huge massive form that likes to sleep in the nude.... lol well without his armor on,... he still has his furskin shorts on though.. wakes up, stretches and yawns a giant toothy smile.))

"Dat time already lil friend. Ok Rok keep watch till morning. Then Rok wake everyone up with gentle nudge and som o' Rok's famous biscuits and dorf jam. Its only a nam doh, no real dorfs added, they are fattening you know, instead we make dem with thick strawberrys dat grow on the mountain, but when we smash all the ' berries its looks like a boulder fell on a dorf", he says with a toothy smile and a very obvious wink, overdoing it alot.

(( Rok slowly draws on his armor, and readies his weapons making sure that each one is in place ready to be grabbed or changed out very easily. He also makes sure all his straps are checked and all his inventroy is doublechecked and tightly compacted to fit on his massive back and shoulders. His Demon faced greathelm he leaves off for now, but will put it back on again when the morning comes and they start to travel. About an hour before waking time he readies a small meal that they can eat on the go.))

[Zane]

Also keeping a wary eye about me, I respond with, "No dragon magic for me, I travelled to this place searching out the Seer. Having found him, I was instructed to be patient."
((OOC: Ok, with no more questions for now, seems like we're back to the next morning now.))

Mursharr rises in the morning, accepting a small single bite of the food that Rok prepared. "Rok share food, Mursharr thank Rok." he says, quickly preparing himself to head out and see what this day holds for him and his new friends.

((WB: Is the gem in the center of the room that we touched a large pink crystal, say the size of a large shield? If so, Mursharr will collect it and lead the way back to the dragon. But somehow that just seems to easy...))

[Maelstrom]

Seeing that everyone has begun to stir, Crowblaze looks up after he finishes copying the translation of the Celestial writings. He joins those that are eating near Rok for a moment, "Thanks to Seryl, we have a translation of the Celestial writing. It tells about how some people in these caverns were given the chance to make a wish. The moral is, be careful what you wish for."

He then moves to the entrance of the room, strapping on his buckler, putting on his hood, readying his longspear and adjusting his burning rock for better forward visibility. He waits patiently for the others to complete their meal and get started.

((OOC - As far as marching order, Crowblaze is willing to be on the front line behind the scout or take the rear guard position to protect the spellcasters and more lightly-armored folk.)

[dndmaster]

Having had a decent conversation with Musharr, I finally fell asleep assured that I would be okay sleeping.
In the morning I wake in a ball of sweat having had a nightmare about being trapped in a room full of snakes. Trying to shake off the dream I gather my things and join the others for breakfast and get ready to move out in search of the crystal.
OOC: I would like to be somewhere towards the middle.

[D'argos]

"Rok assume him and Barravas will take the lead."

(as he marches forward he pats his friend's back and he smiles a great big toothy grin under his helm)

"Let us go.. TO GLORY !!"

(Rok also says a silent prayer to his lost loved ones and slips on the ring of Glitterins First Offspring the one with the gold and silver dragons)

(marching order in OOC Off Topic thread that can be changed at will, edited and or added)

[The Wandering Bard]

Hahaha no the crystal that every one touched is small, more or less the size of a human skull.

[Zane]

((OOC: Yeah, but I had to check...))

As soon as Mursharr sees that the others are just about ready to go, he bounds out the door, turning away from the Songdragon intending on scouting ahead of the group a bit to make sure the path is clear.

((OOC: Move half-speed while hiding in shadows and moving silently to scout ahead as best I can.))Hide and Move Silent rolls

[Maelstrom]

Crowblaze takes his position in the marching order, immediately following the suggestions of others without question, accustomed to following orders.

He keeps his eyes ahead to watch Mursharr when he can see him, but also watches behind the group occasionally as well. Even now, though, with a firm quest and knowledge of the danger that lies in the dungeon, he is easily distracted, so it is apparent that his increased awareness won't do him much good.

[The Wandering Bard]

You disappear into the shadows without a sound. about 150ft. down the tunnel you smell a coppery scent as well as find small bits of bone.

[Zane]

Knowledge (nature) for what the scent reminds me of, if anything.
Quick Spot and Listen checks
Mursharr notes the bones and smell, and makes a quick glance around for anything else out of the ordinary, his ears also open for sounds from ahead. As he does so, he works to clear a pathway through the bones for his companions coming up behind him soon after.

[Riftwalker]

As the group arrives at Mursharr's location, Seryl also samples the coppery odor and attempts to place it.

Knowledge: Nature check

[The Wandering Bard]

You both recognize the smell as blood. its thick and leave you to assume that it is recent but at least a few hours old. the bones are to large to be most cave dwelling animals, again leaving you to assume that it is something much larger then the average cave rat.

Mursharr as you listen you here very soft foot steps, very close by. your hightened sight allows you to see a shape, human in features moving towards you....its a variety of blues and purples in your darkvision. (if you can't figure out the darkvision colors let me know and I will help. Hint think thermal temp colors.)

Seryl...do you have your mace out in hand or the Bow?

[Zane]

Once the rest of the group arrives, Mursharr looks to Barravas and Rok - since they are in the lead and softly says, "Mursharr smell blood. New blood... who get by Mursharr and Rok to die here?" He pauses in his musings, looking back down the hallway. "One comes, be ready," he says, pulling his shortbow into his hand as he says that.

[Riftwalker]

Seryl...do you have your mace out in hand or the Bow?

The bow. (*Gulp* probably the wrong answer.)

[The Wandering Bard]

haha yeah but its fine for now. :)

I figure emerges from the darkness, it stays near the shadows but pulls its cloak around its form as if warding off a chill. "Yes....I smell you, smell you all. the soft thumping of your hearts resound like the beating of a chores of drums in my ears. " The mans gaze shifts towards the large form of Rok, who looms over the short figures of the others. "my your a big one aren't you....hmmm I guess that means more for me then, now doesn't it. " The Humanoid smiles. Its mouth parts in a wide slash that looks like it would split its face in half. the teeth glissen red in the light of the torches....

(hahaha)

[Zane]

Mursharr decides that he doesn't like this guy's tone, so as he draws out one of his quality arrows, he starts moving off to the side and back a little (not sure exactly how much room there is here - so just moving 10 feet somehow) in an attempt to confuse the humanoid as to what he is doing and where the shot will come from. He suddenly stops then, releasing the arrow at the creature - collecting another arrow even as the first one still flies off.Attack and damage

[Anaesthesia]

Sparkle will try to attack the humanoid with her shortbow. :P

[D'argos]

Rok will attack big mouth with Firefang


(sorry it should be 13+8 = 21 total to hit with Spiked Chain firefang)

[The Wandering Bard]

the Humaniod hisses at the companions as the arrows slam into the mans chest. as the arrows hit the metal barrier they bounce off, the arrows failing to penetrate the mans elegant armor. it smiles coldy at the arrows but roars in alarm as the a glowing red chain slams him backwards. the cloth robe that drifts around his body ignites in a few spots but quickly dies out.

The mans lips pull back revealing several sharp teeth. his eyes seem to glow like smoldering coals. the Humanoid leaps towards the party swinging his long black sword that seems to have materialized in from thin air. the black sword swings low at Roks massive form.

[The Wandering Bard]

Humaniod attack 1
Humaniod Attack 2

(Rok you take the full damage due to the nature of the sword. It cuts through armor (adamantine) plus various feats and such.)

[Maelstrom]

Crowblaze finally realizes what is going on as the humanoid attacks, and roars in challenge as he attacks Rok. Crowblaze moves to the side of Rok, staying out of his way but looking for a clear shot to the creature.

In position, he shifts his longspear into his buckler hand, and gestures mightily as he speaks words in draconic.

A Scroching Ray flies towards the humanoid:

Sparkles arrow bites into the mans side, the being shakes off the arrow as if it were nothing more then a bug bite.

"little one, you should not have done that" :) its fangs glittering in the torch light.

[Zane]

Mursharr moves quickly, passing by the man twisting as he does so that the creature can't hit him (Tumble to avoid any AoO). He moves down the passageway about 25 feet, toward where the humanoid had come from. He then quickly spins on a heal, releasing an arrow at the creature's back. ((Skirmish ability +1AC, +damage.))
Tumble, attack, damage

[The Wandering Bard]

(well played Mursharr but I have bad news :) )

as Mursharr plunges down the tunnel passing the Humaniod who swipes at the scout but misses, he finds himself at an intersection. The hallway splits like a T the base of the t being the hallway he came from. You hear loud scraping, tapping, and popping coming from both directions and the noise is very close.

[Zane]

The strange sounds unfortunately distract Mursharr quite well, causing him to not even threaten the humanoid with his arrow ((Sounds like as good of an excuse as any for rolling a 1...)). "Mursharr think Blood mouth have friends." he calls to his companions as he prepares to move back where he was, away from the strange sounds.

"Threatening me is one thing, but you dare,.. YOU DARE THREATEN MY FRIENDS !!!"

(he calls something deep within himself)

"Firefang, Let us show him,.. how I earned the right to wield you... Let us show him what your teeth, the teeth of the mighty "Great Red Wyrm" himself can do.

"Firefang, Let us how him how I earned the right to wield you... Let us show him what your teeth, the teeth of the mighty "Great Red Wyrm" himself can do.

(And with that Rok Rages.)

init. = (1d20+4/9+4 = 13) After getting a good nights rest Barravas is at the ready to protect his companions backs. Battle ax weilded in front of him Barravas attempts to lope off this guys head.... Attk (1d20+9/11+9 = 20) Screaming "Die you vile bastard" Dmg (1d12+6/1+6 = 7):mad:

[The Wandering Bard]

OOC: Barravas please read over the Off-Topic section. the party gained a Level as well as a nice pretty new toy. we hadn't heard from you in a while and opted to give you the brand spanking new Ax. if you wish to trade it in for another item please let me know.

the flaming chain slams home once again into the pale mans body. the force of the blow knocks the man from his feet. pulling his sword in front of him the mans tounge strokes the blade of the black sword, the fresh blood sliding on to the pale flesh. "I've tasted you once, soon I shall feast not only on your blood but on your soul as well." the form of the man bursts into a cloud of gray and vanishes.

Mursharr the noises still continue. the source is to far away from the torches to see anything and the shadows are to thick for anyones eyes to pierce. (if anyone has darkvision please let me know. thx.)

[D'argos]

(OOC: Rok marches forward in battle formation if able.. He says nothing as he advances. Something deep inside drives him onward. Where-ever he steps on his left side a small bit of blood is left behind, trailing off from one of his armor plates.)

"....Mushar is up ahead. He has not reported in yet.. he last called out about seeing more of them maybe..."

(And with that Rok Marches forward at a double-pace waiting for his friends if he can and looking for any sight of the enemy..)

[dndmaster]

ooc: I have 60ft darkvision.

[Riftwalker]

(Are any more details of our adversaries visible due to the 30' radius light (and another 30' shadowy illumination) from Seryl's Light of Lunia?)

[Zane]

"....Mushar is up ahead. He has not reported in yet.. he last called out about seeing more of them maybe..."((OOC: Mursharr was only about 25 feet away from the front of the party, so Rok should be able to still see him easily.))Mursharr the noises still continue. the source is to far away from the torches to see anything and the shadows are to thick for anyones eyes to pierce.((Are the sounds changing in intensity, indicating something moving?))

"Mursharr not see more, hear more. Errr, hear something." Mursharr shakes his head slightly, and looks to Rok with a shrug. "Mursharr not know what hear, but not sound like party feast."

[The Wandering Bard]

Seryl's light is still to far away to pull detail from the sounds but provides Mursharr with enough light to see movement coming towards him. (Rok a PM coming at you, Mursharr one at you as well.)

I call out to the Party " Prepare for battle,.. and if you have anything, anything that might hurt or ward off undead, I suggest you prepare it now, for I believe we have incoming"

((Rok starts a prayer to Ehlonna and begins practicing a combat form, his chain is moving in wicked archs across his body and the teeth of the Great Red bound in it glow with a deep orange red illumination.))

"ROOOOAAAAAAARRRRR !!!!"

Rok tries to intimidate to buy time for everyone to ready themselves

the first form moves up to the shadows edge and waits for the others to move up. Mursharr the first form is 5 ft. away (just out of reach with a sword.)

[Zane]

Mursharr the first form is 5 ft. away (just out of reach with a sword.)((OOC: Good thing I don't use a sword then. :p))

With the disappearance of the humanoid, albeit suddenly, Mursharr takes a quick glance down the two tunnels. That quick glance being all that he needed, he fires off an arrow at the first creature nearest him, moving away even as he does. "Mursharr see four skulls coming. Two got sword and shield, two got spears," he informs the group, even as he is moving back towards them. He then turns slightly, moving towards one of the walls near the group. He speeds up for a few steps and jumps into the air, in order to reach a ledge that he noted, trying to get the advantage of higher ground.Attack and damage (no skirmish damage on undead...)Jump to reach 10' ledge

[Anaesthesia]

Will go into an Inspire courage. ;)

[The Wandering Bard]

Mursharrs arrow bounces off the tower shield carried by the nearest advancing form, then he nimblely scampers up the wall and stands on the ledge (the ledge is 10ft. wide, and 5 ft. deep basicly the you can only move a little to either side but not back (characters use 5ft spaces at a time.)

[D'argos]

((OOC: Rok moves up to 15 feet away from Mushar's original position)

"So Daggermouth send's in his minions now..., and in a battle formation. Impressed. Watch out friends, the ones in the back have longspears that can hit us if we het to close to fight with them."

((Rok tries to stay out of reach while the others back him up; and during his turn of initiative will be Unleashing Firefang with a bloodthirsty howl))

"Ahaha haha haa haaa, AROOOOWWRRR!"

Rok throw's the head of Firefang forward (pwr attk+rage)

[headeast76]

Ooc: Barravas has 60' darkvision so he would be able to see the undead also. Where is Barravas in regards to Murrshar ?

[The Wandering Bard]

your about 30ft. behind Mursharr and 10ft behind Rok. you see the skeletons in their ancient full plate and their massive tower shields. you note that the two forms in front carry longswords and the 2 in back have bucklers and longspears.

[Zane]

your about 30ft. behind Mursharr and 10ft behind Rok.((OOC: And 10 feet below now that Mursharr took to some high ground. ;) Honestly, I just wanted Mursharr to run and jump again, his legs were getting antsy. :bounce:))

Rok's attack puts a huge dent into the ancient armor, small flakes of the rusting suit dropping to the floor. the skeletal from rocks back a bit but seems little worse for wear.

the next skeleton advances to stand behind the first skeleton, its long spear dropping its head to point over the tower shield of its companion.

[The Wandering Bard]

OOC: sorry I forgot that Crowblaze was NPC'ed for a few days.

The warforged moves to stand beside Rok his longspear set to impale anything that moves into his sight. picking up a small pebble he casts light onto it then throws it several feet out of view. within seconds the party can see 4 skeletal figures moving towards the party. the two in front are armed with swords and large tower shields. the two in the back are carrying longspears and have small bucklers strapped to the bones of their arms. each is clad in suits of ancient plate armor, each suit is covered in swirling script that is at the moment unercognized.

[Maelstrom]

OOC Sounds like a good move to me :) I'm back now.

[The Wandering Bard]

glade to here from you. if you would like to change anything from the move I made for you or would like to add something feel free to do so.

[Riftwalker]

At the sight of the undead, Seryl freezes in place, unable to move. The blood drains from her face, and her skin becomes clammy. Her breathing increases--quick short and shallow breaths. She feels herself grow tense with fear--fear of it all happening again. The mantra "it's happening again" repeating over and over in her mind, clouding everything else out. She drops her bow without even realizing it.

(TWB: Whether her Light of Lunia radiance fades is a question for you the DM, playing the part of her goddess.)

Barravas sees the undead and without hesitation you see him go into his backpack on the ground and dig out a flask and as soon as he uncorks it instead of taking a big drink like you would expect him to do, Barravas starts to pour the water over his ax and himself and as he is on his knees if watching you can see his lips move in mumbled prayer.... (Ooc: anointing himself and his weapon with holy water) When his eyes open there seems to be a renewed violence smoldering there as he stands and brandishes his ax Barravas looks to the undead and waits...

the other two skeletons move into ranks. weapons lowered and ready to attack. (last 2 skeletons in initiative.)

(its late now, I will post Skeleton A's attacks in the morning.

OOC - After Barravas moves

Crowblaze moves forward, his eyes glowing brightly from behind his hood, he is silent until he approaches the skeletons from the center defensively, but at the correct time he shouts an arcane phrase.

Concentration check to avoid AoAs (DC16):

Burning hands

[headeast76]

Barravas leaves his pack for now and brandishing his new weapon he moves to the base of the rock that Mursharr is perched upon. Ooc: (Figuring to get behind these skeletons carrying the tower shields so as to avoid getting stabbed by the ones carrying the spears besides the shields don't cover their backs:D)

Wow.....all of the skeletons failed their reflex saves and Crowblazes burning hands spell burns the remaining flesh, hair, and clothing off of them. several bones turn to dust in the intensity of the heat.

(that was rather effective....I assumed that at least one would pass the savings throw..... :) thats the beauty of the game, never know whats going to happen.)

[Riftwalker]

Seryl, though still shaken and still visibly upset, strengthens her resolve enough to realize that Rok is injured. She moves up to him and places her hands on his back. She chants, as they glow a soft yellow. The light from her hands fades as it forms into thin strands of yellow light that are absorbed into Rok's form.

A slight growl comes from Mursharr as his arrows yet again fails to do any damage. So, Mursharr moves to the side, sliding along the ledge a little, hoping to find a better angle from which to attack. Once he gets to the other end of the ledge, he pauses as he hears Sparkle's song. He sways for a second with the music, and then once he has found his rhythm with her song he fires off another arrow.

((OOC: Doh, I had forgotten the Inspire Courage last round, let's hope it makes a difference...))Attack and damage - on a random skeleton.((OOC: Guess not. Mursharr's just got no luck against undead skeletons...))

Crowblaze shows no fear in the face of the skeletons' attacks, dodging deftly but mostly relying on his mithril body to protect him. He aggressively encourages the skeletons to focus on him.

Crowblaze casts Truestrike, while the skeleton in front of him crumbles to dust, the clatter of its armor hitting the floor resounding through the tunnels. the skeleton in the back (B(BACK) behind the sword wielding skelly fighting Rok quickly turns and flees down the tunnel. the other two, (one with a long spear facing Crowblaze, and another fighting Rok with a sword) remain locked in combat, seeming no worse for wear.

Just waiting on Barravas.

[headeast76]

Barravas moves to the back side of the closest undead and attacks trying to get past the tower shields they are carrying (attk 1d20+13/5+13 =18) (dmg 1d12+8/8+8 = 16)

Ooc: did i hit? Do the skeletons take any damage? And where is Barravas in regards to the rest of the party and enemies?

[The Wandering Bard]

Barravas, you manage to hit the skeleton with the long spear standing in front of Crowblaze. a large part of its rib cages drops to the ground. moments later the rest of the creature falls apart.

Gab your shot slams into the fleeing skeleton, taking the battered corpse of bones off its feet, it stops moving (because of the fleeing, and the lack of tower sheild, I allowed it to count as flat footed.)

[The Wandering Bard]

The last remaining skeleton swings at the half-ogre.
