Tesarik One: OH Mission: "Solstice: Darkest Eve"
Tesarik One: Your leader is Pamela.
Tesarik One: If you have questions please IM me or one of the Moderators.
Tesarik One: Estimated time is 1.5 hours from when we begin.
Tesarik One: You can die on our adventures and there are consequences if you
die.
Tesarik One: Make sure your dossier is updated! If it's not on your dossier
you do not have it and this includes mundane gear.
Tesarik One: Remember when you first use something to tell me how you are
able to use it - after that you can merely state the numbers.
Tesarik One: Now state your info: Rank - Name - Class/Profession - Dice -
Hit Points - Defense DC - Healing Points if applicable. You will need to keep
up with your own self-healing points as they are used.
Tesarik One: ---end state---
Tesarik One: Saychelle Huda, Amber Champion, 2d52, 26hp, DC15
Tesarik One: Devout/Shaman
psionic wanderer: Dorian Thales, Emerald Champion, Psion/Arcane, 2d74, 60
hp, Def DC 11
psionic wanderer: (and brb)
Tesarik One: Roll 1d20 for initiative, add in your Quickness, subtract for
armor if necessary, and give me final number.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
Tesarik One: +5 QCK = 19
Tesarik One: (Ace, just so you know, if you have Medium, or Heavy armor
there is a penalty that you'd take off your roll here.)
treble reverie: ((Ok, that makes sense))
OnlineHost: psionic wanderer rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
psionic wanderer: (As expected, last. 10)
Tesarik One: Hold while I build the scoreboard.
Tesarik One: Saychelle 0/26 [15] || Dorian 0/60 [11]
Tesarik One: (Just for teaching purposes, the number in [x] is your Defense
DC which is 10+QCK. The number, much like in d&d, that you have to roll to
actually hit a person.)
treble reverie: ((AC in D&D, right? Armor class?))
Tesarik One: (Yep)
treble reverie: ((I'm understanding!))
Tesarik One: Winter Solstice, one of the most celebrated holidays in all of
Arith. Every culture it seemed, from the elves to the Zorcans, lizardfolk and
lycan, and everything in between recognized the solstice.
Tesarik One: The darkest evening of the year. As the festivities in Navahla
died down, the revelry moving indoors and out of the snowy streets and
gardens, the same was happening at the OH Inne. Still decorated for
Tesarik One: Yule, Maria had plenty of yummy offerings and drinks for
tonight as the people came in and out, but suddenly the door slammed open and
a young woman rushed in, her face flushed. "I heard a terrible
Tesarik One: scream outside, someone come help!"
OnlineHost: scales change has entered the room.
psionic wanderer: Dorian was, as usual, sitting at the bar having a cup of
tea and a snack of some bread and cheese. And then someone came in all
suddenly! He glanced over and blinked, then stabbed his bread with his hook,
finished his tea, then
Tesarik One: The vishkanya female had been enjoying the warmth by the
hearth, and a cup of tea, settling in so she thought for the night at the
inne. She'd wandered curiously through the revelry, they celebrated the
solstice in Madder as well
psionic wanderer: started for the door whilst finishing the bit of bread
he'd impaled. At least he was getting use out of his hook. "Which way out
there?"
scales change: [ Kythin Steelfang | 3d91 (AoS) | Obsidian Prime | Def DC: 22
| Vindicator\Knight ]
Tesarik One: but she'd not really been allowed out of the area where she'd
lived at the time. Settling back, reptilian eyes closing, she sipped ...until
she was interrupted by a call for aid! She leaned forward and then rose and
followed Dorian

Tesarik One: out the door, grabbing her staff as she moved.
Tesarik One: Saychelle 0/26 [15] || Dorian 0/60 [11] || Kythin 0/57 [22]
scales change: Still within the city of Nahavla where he could suffer
through the celebration of the Winter Solstice. The Black Knight made no sort
of atypical entrance until notice of the femme with the sepertine eyes came
to his notice somewhere
Tesarik One: The young lady pulled a hand out of her furry muff and pointed
down the street. "Two buildings down, in the alley. The shops are all closed,
I saw your lights." She hurried down the street then, she'd done her job and
the scream had
Tesarik One: rattled her. The street lamps were still lit, this was a
decent section of town after all, but the shadows were indeed thick and dark
within the nearby alley.
scales change: along the lines.. and his neutral smile fell flat. Ah, he
really didn't care for much that reminded of Madder. And it would seem he was
just in time for.. the usual abrupt interruption that the Heart suffered on
occassion. .. Ardagr
scales change: im must be testing him... -d
psionic wanderer: "Hm." He nodded, then stepped down towards that alley that
was pointed out. He glanced down it, seeing how shadowed it still was, then
concentrated for a moment, tinkering with his inner workings a bit. (Spells:
Firing All Synapses,
Tesarik One: She caught sight of Kythin, but the woman's words had gained
her attention and so out the door she went with her staff in hand, following
Dorian down towards that dark alley. "I imagine that the criminalsss are out
in droves
Tesarik One: tonight ssince so many are out."
psionic wanderer: +2 int and therefore +2 hp due to mind over body skill,
also Alter Vision, switching to low-light.) Hopefully strengthening his
photoreceptor cells to make more use of the small amount of light going into
the alley from the street

scales change: " ... Long as its not Lady Blue all over again. " If only
becausr running down the length of a dock under cannon fire armed with a
blunderbuss was not as enjoyable as it may have been a hilarious sight.
Offhand commentary that none

stop Kythin from heading out the door as well in their wake. -d
Tesarik One: (Kythin, Saychelle - ability to see in the dark alley?)
scales change: [ negative, captain. ]
Tesarik One: Saychelle pulled a sunrod out of her pack and hit it against
the wall, allowing it to light the area around her. She may have had snake
eyes, and a forked tongue, but she could not see in the dark at the moment!
But, light! She
Tesarik One: glanced over to Dorian, then to Kythin, and then down the
alleyway, trying to peer down and see why screams had come from it.
Tesarik One: (Spot Check 1d20)
Tesarik One: (Ace, just like in d&d our checks are made by d20's and then
you add whatever trait goes to it. In this case, for spot, you'd add your
Perception along with any skills for spot like Alert)
psionic wanderer: He squinted a bit when that sunrod flared up, but his eyes
adjusted well enough as long as he didn't look directly at it! He had a look
around the alley instead. And why would he not understand the mention of Lady
Blue? He was the

Tesarik One: Saychelle, you catch the sight of movement... something in the
light, but it quickly disappears into the shadows. And then everyone hears
another pained scream!
Tesarik One: "Did you sssee that?! Allons!" She did not wait at all, and
whipped her staff in front of her as she ran down into the alley towards
where she'd seen the movement, that sunrod was held out with her free hand
for now, and she swept
psionic wanderer: Well, he may not have seen the movement, as his eyes
weren't adjusting as well as he would've hoped, but he certainly heard that
scream. Well, nothing for it but to rush forward as fast as his slow-ass self
could.
Tesarik One: it along as she moved down the alley to find out what was
moving down there!
Tesarik One: As Chelle moved down the alley with her blasted sunrod, the
creatures that were within there, creatures who were reveling in the darkest
evening of the year, snapped a hand out as Chell passed and attempted to
bring pain to her as
Tesarik One: the shadowy hand passed right through her body (bypassing
mundane armor of course) and caused pain to shoot through her senses from the
negative energy. (STR drain as well, if it hits)

Tesarik One: (Chelle has no STR trait points so I'm not going to bother
rolling for the strength drain)
Tesarik One: Chelle was not at all prepared for the attack that came out of
the darkness, it was cold and it sent pain soaring through her synapses,
causing her to gasp and swing her staff towards the area where she'd just
been touched. As the
Tesarik One: sunrod lit up the area, causing the mundane shadows to flee,
she'd see if only briefly the outline of the sentient shadow that had
attacked her. Swinging her staff sideways, she attempted to use her weapon to
do some damage to the

incorporeal)

shadows, wrapping around Dorian's arm and tugging him bodily into the
darkness. It's incorporeal shadowy hand raked across his body, causing pain
to shoot through his

Tesarik One: Well the big bad in the alley was a more powerful shadow, and
he was just lurking watching the shadows wreak a bit of havoc. In fact, they
would find two dead bodies in the alley, drained of all energy and strength,
as they got a
Tesarik One: little further in - the source of the screams no doubt. Too
late for them, but not for the Heart! These shadows were not finished, nor
was the Greater one, who decided Kythin looked like a fine mark and appeared
in his own shadow,
Tesarik One: striking him from behind, shoving his hand right through his
chest and raking downwards.

next. Clairvoyance could in fact be handy at times.)

handle the other one?" Said as he stepped away before the creature started
attacking, but after it had

Shadow! His mind worked quickly, pulling various elements out of the
surrounding buildings, air, plant life, etc...without compromising the
buildings' structural integrity, of
psionic wanderer: course! He only needed a bit. And then he clustered them
inside the Greater Shadow and applied energy, setting off a neat chemical
reaction. Namely, a very bright flash of light. It stood to reason shadows
would be weak to such an

do whatever he was doing to heal her, and offered a bow of her head and a

exposure was 2nd ed. Thank god it got, for the most part, easier))

fully functional hand, flexing it a bit. "I've had worse. And it's still not
as bad as when that spear went through me." He smiled faintly, then tilted
his head and frowned
psionic wanderer: down at his bleeding hand. ".......although now it occurs
to me that I can't bandage this hand as easily anymore. Damnit." (brb)
Tesarik One: She turned and canted her head slightly as she looked at the
Black Knight, he seemed to know more than most of the ways of the
Serpent-King. "You are familiar with the waysss of Madder, and it's King? My
mother is a royal courtesan
Tesarik One: and King Cheverny has allowed me a brief ressspite from the
court, to ssee the world, one might say."

wound he'd made. "Where are your bandagess, and I will bandage it."
