Narrator: With the last of the skeletons defeated, the delvers collected their gear and bandaged their wounds.
Narrator: Behind them was the tunnel to the main gallery. Ahead of them, whatever the undead sentinels were guarding. It looked at first glance like a wooden door, slightly rotted.
** Singeon goes forward and guards the exit **
GM: What are people up to?
Lenia (Harald387): Was anyone seriously hurt by undead?
Singeon: No
Lenia (Harald387): If so, this is a great time to apply first aid. And rest. Just saying.
Beltarne: (( To my knowledge, I'm not hurt or down any FP >.> ))
GM: Damage totals: Arganyev 4, Beltarne 3, Thog 2, Singeon 2, Sithis 4.
GM: The only fresh wound is Sithis, who took a slingstone to the back while setting a zombie on fire.
Beltarne: Well then! First aid sounds like a plan.
GM: Everyone is done a fight's FP from, well, the fight. And Lenia is down to 8.
GM: Sorry, down another 8.
Singeon: OK
GM: Okay, Beltarne seems to have recovered from his funk and is bandaging. Who first?
Beltarne: Sithis has a fresh injury, so would benefit from immediate attention.
Thog: test
Sithis: ** Glares at Beltarne, but allows him to attend her. **
Singeon: Beltarne, can you feel necromantic evil from this direction?
GM: Beltarne, roll at your leisure.
Beltarne: First Aid/TL3 (14) [3d6.skill(14,0)] => 3d6.skill(14,0)
Thog: **Shakes his head....confused...***
Beltarne: (( woops ))
Beltarne: First Aid/TL3 (14) [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [1,3,4] = 8 vs (14) or less Success! by 6
GM: [1d6-3] => [6,-3] = (3)
GM: Beltarne applies bandages and such to Sithis.
GM: 30 minutes pass for people resting.
GM: What are other people doing?
** Singeon watching the passageway, resting. **
Arganyev: "The burning light of Tyrandor..."
Arganyev: "reveals no evil in my sight."
Thog: Would it be possible to sit and rest in any of these areas an watch as well? and still get the advantage of a better view?
Singeon: Good try.
GM: Sit and rest in what areas?
Singeon: There must be evil to come, strong enough to animate these twisted shells.
Beltarne: (( Er, you'll have to excuse me while I scour the character sheet for things that would detect necromancy ))
GM: Okay. You're in the zombie guard room. Zombies are destroyed. Tunnel leads north. Or south, but you came that way.
Tolt2k (Thog): "AGHGHGHG!!!:
Singeon: I guard the north entrance.
GM: You've rested for 1/2 hour while Beltarne patched Sithis.
GM: It's about 8pm at night (game time), you're getting a little tired.
GM: Though not a lot, since most of your day was spent sitting in a room watching Lenia cast spells and Sithis read books.
GM: What are you doing?
Lenia (Harald387): It's hardly my fault identifying magic items takes so long. Onward! To glory and riches or gory death!
Singeon: I say we continue on. We have killed these guards; they might have warned their masters. They might seek revenge in the night.
Tolt2k (Thog): ((Shock!!)) "death?"
Beltarne: "Aye, I be morre than able to push forrwarrd. Bettar that we catch them unawarres now!"
whispering to Tolt2k (Thog), You get the sense that you were being watched.
** Arganyev says 'Singeon, in the night? We are in a enough dark place right now' **
whispering to Beltarne, I see your pseudo-Scottish accent is as bad as mine.
Singeon: You speak truth, Dwarf
Singeon: But we are not asleep. We are at.. oh... 93%, I figure
Arganyev: a moment, I need to retrieve my sword!
Singeon: LEEROY JENKINS!
GM: Having picked up your gear, you head down the tunnel.
Narrator: The tunnel slopes down again, and the walls are slick with moisture. It opens onto an underground grotto: a stagnant pool with some boulders sticking out of the water. 8 creatures - a bizarre and repugnant mix of lobster and man - twist their bodies toward you as you approach. Their claws clattering, they grab crude weapons and advance.
Sithis: then, lets go!
Arganyev: Beltarne, can you throw it to me (in a non-lethal way, please)?
Tolt2k (Thog): (lol)\
Singeon: Anyone have butter sauce?
GM: Everyone see that?
Arganyev: hm...
Tolt2k (Thog): I see nothing on the map
Beltarne: Nope...
Arganyev: neither me
Beltarne: Is this on CM6?
Sithis: not here...
GM: CM6.
Beltarne: Ah. I was on CM4
Beltarne: There we go.
Singeon: It lost my picture when you hover over my fig
Lenia (Harald387): I see lobstermen!
Beltarne: Singeon - it'll show up once it finishes loading.
Sithis: no, I'm in CM4, a moment please
Tolt2k (Thog): whats CM4?
Lenia (Harald387): Maptools Map Designation.
Arganyev: the last session map
Singeon: Is lobsterman 8 casting?
Lenia (Harald387): In the top right, click on the globe icon and it'll give you a choice of maps; pick CM6.
Beltarne: (( Click on the globe - what Lenia said. ))
Sithis: I'm in CM6, I see blue lines and such, but I don't see tokens
GM: No, lobsterman 8 isn't casting. He's holding a glob of energy in his hand. That's different.
Tolt2k (Thog): Ah HA!
Singeon: OK
Tolt2k (Thog): can force the players to the maps too mark)
GM: everyone good now?
Sithis: now, thank you Mark
Arganyev: I see ourselves now
Singeon: Limited line of sight here. Watch your flanks!
GM: A few notes on the map - black lines denote solid walls.
GM: blue lines indicate small rocky ridges sticking out of the water. You don't know how deep the water is.
Sithis: I see some lobsterman, but and us? where are us?
Beltarne: South edge.

Sithis: oh! obsidian sword too?? I want that too!
Tolt2k (Thog): Dodge if possible
GM: Thog takes 9 points of damage. for what it's worth. which is... nothing. no stun, no knockdown.
GM: can't dodge - you all-out attacked.
Arganyev: oh not

Sithis: I go
Sithis: [3d6] => [3,6,5] = (14)

GM: Singeon, you are in close combat and surrounded on all sides by obstructed terrain. You can parry at -7 or dodge at -3. you may Dodge acrobatically.
Singeon: One sec as I look at book
Arganyev: BTW Singeon, I cant communicate with you through whispers... Take note of this plz)
Singeon: -7 on the parry? Cuz of close combat?
GM: and the -3 deceptive attack, but mostly the close combat.
Singeon: I acrododge!

Sithis: I get up with acrobatics skill, I turn at lobsterman number 3, and I fast drawn another knife, can I all in this turn? moreover I attack he too?

Sithis: Acrobatics first:
Sithis: [3d6] => [3,4,6] = (13)
Arganyev: but both success would be good enough, though!
Sithis: non success, by -6
GM: You are sitting in the water now.
Sithis: no?
GM: so better, but still not perfect.

Singeon: Attack: Saber L Swing (22): [3d6.skill(22,-6)] => [5,6,4] = 15 vs (16) or less Success! by 1
Sithis: why?
Singeon: Attack: Saber R Swing (22): [3d6.skill(22,=6)] => 3d6.skill(22,=6)
Arganyev: chose the locations, Singeon
Sithis: I don't have that!
Singeon: Attack: Saber R Swing (22): [3d6.skill(22,-6)] => [3,1,6] = 10 vs (16) or less Success! by 6
Singeon: Reversed. Dual thrust to eyes
Beltarne: (( I need to cast a spell for the axe to flame. But more importantly, I need to HIT IT. ))
GM: okay, that's cool. roll 'em.
Singeon: This says swing, but it is a thrust, BTW
Lenia (Harald387): ((A sword in a reverse grip can't thrust.))
Singeon: Yes.
Singeon: Attack: Saber L Swing (22): [3d6.skill(22,-9)] => [5,2,5] = 12 vs (13) or less Success! by 1
GM: Harald's wrong - it's a reach C weapon, which you are in.
Singeon: Attack: Saber R Swing (22): [3d6.skill(22,-9)] => [1,1,5] = 7 vs (13) or less Success! by 6
Lenia (Harald387): Ah, okay.
Beltarne: (( can't swing I thought it was. ))
Singeon: Two possibles, eyes
Lobsterman: parry, parry! [3d6.skill(12,-1)] => [5,5,3] = 13 vs (11) or less Failure! by 2 [3d6.skill(12,-1)] => [5,1,5] = 11 vs (11) or less Success! by 0
Singeon: I invoke LUCK

Singeon: thats 10 points
Beltarne: (( to the EYE. Very nice. ))
GM: Right. Uhm. These are Elder Spawn, if I hadn't mentioned...
Beltarne: (( no, you didn't. ))
Lenia (Harald387): CALLED IT.
Beltarne: (( Glad I have an axe :D ))
Singeon: Props, Beltarne
GM: You give him the one-eye Disadvantage and do 5 damage.
Singeon: Sweet!
Arganyev: elders?
Singeon: xxx
GM: He is vaguely annoyed about having a saber stuck into his eye.
Sithis: well done!
Arganyev: really or joking?
Beltarne: (( Arganyev - evil squid monsters. ))
Singeon: Shouldn't we respect our elders?
Arganyev: great Singeon!
Arganyev: not!
Lenia (Harald387): Important question: which eye?
GM: hang a second, everyone...
Tolt2k (Thog): my nails are digging into the desk
Singeon: He made his dodge of 11 three times in a row! Defying the odds!
whispering to Tolt2k (Thog), Elder Spawn, like these things, are very vulnerable to vitals shots and take extra damage. they're also easy to beat up with clubs. blades of all kinds have no effect - you have to stab the heart. your old wizard body told you all about them.
whispering to Lenia (Harald387), Elder spawn are homogenous, and have no brains or vitals and are immune to piercing and impaling weapons (1/3, 1/2 damage)
Arganyev: incredible
Singeon: we need to get glowing hands
whispering to Sithis, stabbing these guys isn't going to work - they have no brains or hearts. they're some kind of weird unearthly creature.
Lenia (Harald387): "Elder Spawn! Cut them, don't stab!"
GM: okay, I just made a bunch of long overdue knowledge rolls for everyone and whispered the info you got from them.
GM: where were we?
Arganyev: I don't have any ;)
Lenia (Harald387): Singeon's turn done, Beltarne up
GM: Singeon, do you want to move?
Singeon: ###
GM: you have a step, that you can use to step back... okay.
Singeon: I can only move back
Singeon: So no
Singeon: I can play this close combat thing as well
GM: good overconfident role-playing.
GM: g/go

GM: can't - you already used it today against the Peshkali.
Arganyev: I though that was once per session?
GM: Well, so you are right.
Arganyev: "Once per game session,"
GM: Go strength!
Arganyev: [1d6] => [3] = (3)
Arganyev: my strength now is 16
GM: +3 damage, more hits.
Arganyev: I move an hex and change facing, then attack!
GM: Okay.
Arganyev: is that move allowed?
Sithis: Hey! take care. I just know this: stabbing these guys isn't going to work - they have no brains or hearts. they're some kind of weird unearthly creature.
Arganyev: agains Lobsterman2:
Arganyev: Broadsword against unearthly lobsterman!
GM: attack and stuff?
Arganyev: [3d6] => [6,3,2] = (11)

Singeon: takes one to know one
Beltarne: VERY nice.
GM: Thog, one of them hit you - you need to defend.
Tolt2k (Thog): OK
Arganyev: folks, anyway, I don't see any apparent exit from this damned "room", perhaps we should go out from here? These guys don't seem very cooperative in the idea of being defeated by us
Lobsterman: lobster2 steps back and cuts at Arganyev [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [6,6,6] = 18 vs (14) or less Critical Failure! [B556]

Sithis: well!
Lobsterman: The lobsterman mage sighs, steps forward, and throws his spell at Arganyev [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [3,2,4] = 9 vs (14) or less Success! by 5
Beltarne: Dodge!
GM: Yeah, hard to do that with his back turned and all...
Lenia (Harald387): Next thing in the path is a Lobsterman?
Lenia (Harald387): Deflect Missile.
GM: yep.
GM: aren't you holding a readied spell?

Arganyev: [3d6] => [6,2,3] = (11)
Beltarne: (( Not sure. You'd definately not be able to build it more. least not without a will-3 roll or something. ))
Beltarne: I forget!
GM: you can't cast any other spell while holding; see p12
Lenia (Harald387): Yeah.
Arganyev: I think I failed by 1?
