Tesarik One: Mistakes? IM me.
Tesarik One: Tonight's mission takes our team to the frozen kingdom of
Rumeria, the Barrens to be exact near the town of Drakwell. In a recent
meeting, Maria was given some information about a tomb that was located in
the Barrens, an ancient
Tesarik One: tomb of course, of the ancient knight and politician Algellar.
There was lore surrounding Algellar:
Tesarik One: Long ago, during the reign of Tsar Haius the Magnificently
Obese, the name Algellar was spoken throughout the land. Some spoke of him
reverently, others as if he were a sick joke played upon them by
Tesarik One: the tsar. But all agreed that he was one of their ruler's
favorites. And perhaps even more so, they spoke of the Coat of Diamonds, an
impenetrable suit of armor granted him as a gift from the tsar.
Tesarik One: When he died, he was buried in a small tomb in the Barrens near
Drakwell, where he could watch over his wandering kin for eternity.
Tesarik One: Impenetrable coat of diamonds? Hell yes! So, gather your gear,
head through the Port Union portal, prepare for cold weather and onwards we
go! Allons-y!
psionic wanderer: Well! Dorian assumed this was the meeting Maria had
mentioned the previous night, and he was a bit worried to leave her so soon
after what'd happened...on the other hand, he knew full well she could take
care of herself. So it was
psionic wanderer: off to the port union for him! As usual, he wouldn't be
the first one through it, he'd wait around for others to gather, idly toying
with his hook in the meantime. He didn't appear dressed for cold weather, but
as a few Zorcans
Tesarik One: Cold weather, that's what Halcyon had been told, and she was
not happy! But, it was a good thing the feral druid had a pretty little spell
called 'endure elements' that would allow her to go without being too cold.
So, running after
Tesarik One: Dorian, and very possibly running AROUND him a few times,
Halcyon joined the group wearing as very little as the wild child could get
away with in public. Falcata at her side, leafweave armor covering all the
soft bits, and bracers
psionic wanderer: could testify, he'd be just fine. He also figured he
better be sharp if they were going into a tomb! (Spells: Ignore Conditions to
resist mundane cold/hot/etc effects for 24 hours, and Firing All Synapses for
+2 int for one quest,
Tesarik One: of ant chitin strapped on, she was ready for some ancient tomb
crawling!
lurkerinshade: A tomb.. fresh of a ship from Kir'Viir for a visit to the
mainland and this Adventuring Group to help line his pockets.. and the best
they could offer.. was tomb-robbing! Ah, well least there would be corpses
about to make use of
psionic wanderer: which also adds 2 hp from the Mind over Body skill)
Tesarik One: Noted.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Well he figured he would tag along and the cold weather
was easily avoided with the ring he and Nani both wore. While walking he
glanced to her, a hand settled to her shoulder, the other gloved hand pressed
to his chest casting
lurkerinshade: towards the goal that was this.. Coat of Diamonds. The ..
difficulty came in where the chilled enviroment of Rumeria came to mind..
well too late to turn away from the portal within Port Union in order to back
away from the matter
psionic wanderer: He smiled as Halcy ran around him, and gave her a pat on
the head once she settled down, if she settled down. "You seem excited to go
tomb-robbing." Spoken in Feral, of course.
Nobilis Arcanus: two spells quickly to boost both of them up now with the
Cat's Grace spell, (+2 Qck stat boost) his hand fell looking to Nani and gave
her a small grin and a wink.::Ready my dear? *D
Tesarik One: A map had been duplicated, and handed out to them all showing
where to go from Drakwell across the Barrens to find the tomb. Maria waved
them all through, and folded her arms to watch for a moment.
Tesarik One: "I'm just excited to go out into the wilderness!" she said back
in Feral to him. She was dirty as ever, if not dirtier tonight and her hair
was an absolute mess. Too bad she didn't get extra defense from the dirt and
matted hair!
psionic wanderer: He took the map and tucked it into his satchel with nary a
look at it, then snuck in a good hug for Maria before heading towards the
portal, probably with Halcy. He chuckled. "I'll bet. Maybe a roll in the snow
would clean you up a
psionic wanderer: bit. If not, I think you'll need a bath when we get back."
lurkerinshade: now. " Eh, perk up Cutter, we've a tomb to ransack! Onward! "
Words from the crimson hellspawn hiding away somewhere in the cloak wrapped
about the Diabolist. The imp's words earned no reply.. but did earn the pale
elf moving
No True Form: ~She hated cold,..hated hated,.even with the ring that
adjusted just seeing it had he frowning and shivering some, sighing softly
she looked up at him.~ as ready as I will ever be considering the intense
amount of cold. ~she
No True Form: grumbled softly~ (D)
lurkerinshade: through the portal after the maps had been passed out..
nothing ventured, nothing gained..said the vermin race of mankind.-d
Tesarik One: "Why?" She furrowed her brow, not at all understanding why she
needed a bath at all. It was too cold to swim in the lakes and ponds, which
was why she got extra dirty in the snowy winter! She waved to Maria, and gave
a good sniff of
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He gave a small smile,;:it will give you a chance to test
the new blades dear. ::And off he moved with her through the portal while
raising his free hand to stroke the braided beard.::
Nobilis Arcanus: ::And after taking a map.::
Tesarik One: the area as they stepped through. Cold snowy plains. And an
imp, an imp came with them..........that caused her to stop and point.
Tesarik One: Or maybe she hadn't seen the imp yet!
Allegro Luna: Allegro was flying around the group dressed in a
mithra,lweave suit, black,white and furry gray wolf fur skirt and matching
vest.Hr massive claymore tied to her back via silver sheath. Furry blonde
hair and fox tail swaying with
Allegro Luna: joy as she flew in circles,fox ears twitching .
Tesarik One: The map was easy to follow. Head southwest out of Drakwell.
They were on the outskirts of the small town of Drakwell - oddly the town had
been built in, and around the massive bones of a dragon. They'd note that
easily.
Allegro Luna: (edinner,so slow.)
No True Form: ~She huffed softly shaking her head some as she followed him
through the portal.~ hm ~she muttered softly then sighed gritting her
teeth,..snow ick ick cold ick ick. ~She sighed softly, tilting her head some
as she looked around~ (
No True Form: (D)
psionic wanderer: "Because you're filthy, dear." He gave her another little
pat on the head, and tinkered around a bit with her brain while he was at it
so he wouldn't have to spend all night translating. (Spell: Universal
Translator, target: Halcy,
psionic wanderer: allowing her to understand Common for 24 hours)
lurkerinshade: Well now.. a dragon skeleton about a town.. well that just
offered up quite the oppurtunity for chaos should the .. bones have a
fiendish spirit forced into them and set towards causing destruction.. ah,
enough to bring a smile to
Tesarik One: She never knew when he tinkered in her head most of the time,
but suddenly she could understand what was being said around her. She paused,
peeked around at everyone, and waved with a grin to those she knew like Rhyss
and Nani, and
Tesarik One: even Allegro. She eyed Dorian a moment, and considered
discussing why it was so important for her NOT to be filthy, but decided
she'd stare down at the map. She couldn't read it, but she could see the
pictures well enough to figure
Tesarik One: out which way they needed to go. And so she started walking.
lurkerinshade: .. now very cold Maereth. The diabolical considerations were
given pause with the notice of one of his .. comrades.. flying about like a
fool. " ....I hope she will be serving as our distraction for any sentient
opposition to our
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He returned the wave to the wild child then turned to
look to Nani and would give another small smile hearing the sigh. His arm
moved to slide through her own before leaning down and whispering lightly.::
lurkerinshade: progress.. that's .. too noticeable. " And Maereth simply
didn't care for being noticed if they had tomb-robbing in their list of goals
here. -d
psionic wanderer: At least he never tinkered in harmful ways! He just smiled
to her again when she eyed him and then took out his own map, eyeing the
town, then glancing at the map. Those were some rather large bones. He wasn't
much of a map person
Tesarik One: She decided as she moved along to cast a quick spell, and soon
enough, she had antlers atop her head. (Aspect of the Stag - +2 Quickness)
psionic wanderer: however, so back into his satchel it went. He frowned,
having just realized he forgot to bring his fancy new spyglass, but oh well!
He just needed to get that new satchel so he could fit it in with everything
else. (brb)
No True Form: ~She gave a small smile to the waving fingers wiggeling. Then
hearing Rhyss she had to smile a tiny bit then arched a brow~ hmmmm (D)
Tesarik One: Rhyss's two spells noted.

0/64 [11]
Nobilis Arcanus: ;::He turned and spotted the dragon bones, head tilted some
as he let the bronze tinted eyes sweep over the skull if there was one to
identify the breed.::
Nobilis Arcanus: ::Well not seeing a skull he just gave a faint shrug to
himself then looked back to Nani,::see now I have you thinking dont I
darling? *D
Tesarik One: The map was a good one. There were landmarks and directions
written on them. They walked a good hour or so, and came to a rocky ledge. Up
along the hillside, they could see the double doors to the tomb. The doors
were large enough
Tesarik One: that someone riding on top of a horse could easily just walk
right on in without bending their head, a good 10-12 feet tall. There were
words written in an old form of Rumerian across the top of the tomb.
Tesarik One: Engraved into the stone upon the doors itself was a rearing
horse, upon which sat a richly clad rider bearing sword and shield, and clad
in armor.
Allegro Luna: The shiny flying fox,angel,human.....mutt was fast and
watching the front for threats with her left hand on the hilt of her massive
Claymore that crackled withof lightning .
Tesarik One: She traveled along, low to the ground at times, sniffing around
the area as they moved. She too kept her eyes and ears, and nose peeled for
danger. It was a wild land here, and while she preferred forests, she liked
the wild feel of
Tesarik One: the Barrens. Antlered head turned one way then the other, and
then she scrambled up the rocks towards the big tomb. She couldn't read, so
there was no use in her even attempting to read the words.
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He moved towards the doors raisinghis eyes to the script,
head tipped some.::Anyone else have a more natural way of reading this? ::He
looked back towards the group that was with him, brow arched.:: *D
No True Form: ~She smriked some looking to him~ still not enough to deal
with the cold on a regular basis. ~she muttered softly then turned watching
silently.~ (D)
lurkerinshade: Maereth stood back from the others while they took up
whatever action they deemed fitting.. while his set briefly on the matter of
the doorway of the tomb.. paying some mind to the imagery.. which told this
paticular Kir'Viir
Tesarik One: (Anyone who can read Rumerian can figure it out)
Nobilis Arcanus: (Not one of Rhyss's skills)
lurkerinshade: native nothing. The ways, speech, and script of this land
were quite foreign to Maereth.. and no doubt the hidden imp's as well. " Are
we to be stopped in our tracks by a door then, hm?"-d
Allegro Luna: She fluttered up to read the unknown language ,she wshrugged
not understanding the letters.
Allegro Luna: "no clue"
Tesarik One: "We have no rogues to see if the door is unlocked, locked, or
safe to enter?" She wrinkled her nose, but probably only Dorian understood
what she even said, unless his spell let others communicate with her as well.
She wrung her
Tesarik One: hands a little, and looked from one person to the next as they
just stood there staring at the tomb. Well, one of her secondary skills she'd
learned was detecting traps, so if no one stepped forward to get them into
the tomb, she'd
Tesarik One: do it....but for now she waited, she was the druid healer, not
the take charge person!
psionic wanderer: Oh it'd let her speak common too, she'd just think she was
speaking feral! He'd zoned out and just sorta tagged along. "Hm? What's going
on now?"
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He turned raising a gloved hand and motioned Nani forward
the other was retrieving a pinch of silver dust and flung it up over the
writing and cast Decipher.::
No True Form: ~She saw the motion and moved forward~ yeah? ~she was sort of
spacing~ looking to the dust he flung over the writing she glanced at it then
No True Form: to Rhyss.~ (D)
psionic wanderer: He was about to alter his brain to read that writing,
since apparently everyone was just standing around trying to read it, but if
Rhyss wanted to throw dust at it, well, that'd be better, and possibly not
result in a brain tumor.
psionic wanderer: "Is nobody going to check the door for traps, or are we
just standing around here staring at it?"
Nobilis Arcanus: Need your shadier talents sia itov,::he smiled then turned
some looking to the doors.::
Tesarik One: She shrugged. "I can, Dorian." But, heard Rhyss - actually
understood him for once! So she continued to wait a few more minutes.
No True Form: ~She blinked then looked to the doors~ shadier that is a nice
way of saying it. ~She moved to the doors standing before them lifting her
hand lightly not quite touching the door~ (rogue proff - trap detection)
psionic wanderer: Well it was good someone was doing it, he'd not be much
use with only one hand. Unless the traps could be found/disarmed by jamming a
hook into them.
No True Form: ~She looked up then stepped back~ there are no traps ~she
muttered, then well tried to open it,.if it wasn't locked.~ (D)
Allegro Luna: She flapped her wings and drew her massive Blade Vulpis
Lunaris that had a black blade that seemed to show the univere i n the
steel.Lightning sufrronding it.
Tesarik One: It wasn't locked! It was damn heavy, but she could get it open.
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He was moving forward seeing it budgeing and helped with
opening the door. When it was opened he glanced into the tomb, head tilted
some.::I take it torches were left behind?
psionic wanderer: Well he wasn't one to stand idly by when a lady had to
open a heavy door, so he gave it a good push with his telekinesis to assist.
It'd work better than his muscle.
Tesarik One: Once one of the large doors is opened, they can walk inside the
cold, dark interior. The light from outside shines in and illuminates the
interior, there are six unlit torches upon the walls. Long
Tesarik One: troughs of water line both of the hall's edges, and an
observant character notices that water cycles through them, apparently
refilling from some sort of natural spring. Although the floor is quite
Tesarik One: dusty, a small, ever-present breeze wafts the dust slowly out
the now open exterior door. There is only one obvious door, on the right hand
wall, a small door such as would be in someone's house. At the
Tesarik One: far end of the wall is a life-sized statue of the same rearing
horse, and rider clad in armor with shield and sword.
Tesarik One: (If anyone wishes to search this room, please make your action
and roll a search)
lurkerinshade: He for one had no need for a torch to see in darkness.. and
so once the path forward was open to them Maereth stood back long enough to
let one of the others precede first. The statue after all was pointless
unless it served as a
Allegro Luna: {Hal of light}"Oh heavens,illuminate my sight on the road to
victory ."An angelic halo alppeared above her head brjightly as she searched
.
psionic wanderer: Well then into the tomb it was. He stepped in, eyeing a
torch and exciting its molecules, moving faster and faster until it burst
into wonderful flames. He didn't pick it up, but it would help his vision
after a bit of tinkering
psionic wanderer: with his photoreceptor cells. (Spell: Alter Vision,
choosing low-light vision, duration: 24 hours)
OnlineHost: Allegro Luna rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
psionic wanderer: That done, he moved over to examine the statue, since it
seemed the obvious point of interest.
OnlineHost: psionic wanderer rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
No True Form: ~Well at first the door was heavy then woosh she
blinked,..looking to Rhyss as she moved in then slid her hands to lightly
touched the hilts of her katanas then shaking her head she didn't see anything
but might as well look a bit
psionic wanderer: (+5 investigator skill, +2 perception = 25)
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He would again do a dual cast, some powdered carrot for
both Nani and himself vanished in the casting.:: [Darkvision / Effect /
Duration: 24 Hours]
No True Form: deeper as she looked around~
Nobilis Arcanus: ::And with that done he was moving forward as well
searching around silently.::

No True Form: (12+5 perception = 17)
lurkerinshade: guardian. Soon as someone chose to make themselves useful in
testing that.. or some fool could decide to set off bright light in his
vincinity.. making vision less pleasant. " Bitch .. warn before you do
something like that.. some

Nobilis Arcanus: ::See that's why he was smart and had his back to the flying
one when he cast his spell, it was just smarter that way!::
lurkerinshade: of us may have senstive eyes. " Or be a Szarkai.. but they
didn't need to know that did they now. His grimace set Maereth let his vision
clear before progressing in order to search out what he could.. [ Skill:
Darksight - and search
lurkerinshade: check [
Tesarik One: (Info being sent via IM if you rolled high enough)
OnlineHost: lurkerinshade rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
psionic wanderer: Well hey that halo would be giving off enough light that
he wouldn't even need to float the torch along with since nobody else seemed
to need help seeing. He wrinkled his nose a bit at the words from the person
he didn't recognize.
lurkerinshade: [ 3. ]
psionic wanderer: "There's no need to be rude about things, I'm sure nobody
intended to harm your eyes. It's just a bit of light, anyway. Hm." He stepped
back and looked at the head of the horse statue for a moment, staring.
Tesarik One: She stepped in as well, and began to search the area, ending up
at the small door and sniffing at it to see if she could smell what might be
on the other side.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
Tesarik One: 15
psionic wanderer: He lifted his hand and made a slight gesture with his
finger towards that horse head, attempting to turn it, without actually
touching it of course. It certainly looked like it should turn.
Tesarik One: The horse head on the statue turned just a wee bit, there was a
click.... and.....
lurkerinshade: " Sile..." Forunately someone decided to interrupt the elf. "
Whooooooaa there, Boss, lets not make the nice adventurers angry.. " Cue the
imp working his way out of the cloak and towards a shoulder-perch...and ..
just in time for
psionic wanderer: Oh goodie. He made something happen! He did wince a bit at
the click.
lurkerinshade: click. " .... Eep. " -d
Tesarik One: A passageway opened behind the statue, torches lit up every
couple of feet, lighting the long passageway.
Allegro Luna: She was considering cleaving the man into pieces after what
he told her.But she very quickly forgot about it and continue toflutter
around them." Say something like that again....."
Tesarik One: They had a choice (we all love these right?). They could see
what was behind the door, or go down the secret passage first!
psionic wanderer: "Nobody say anything like that again, or I'll start making
you lot do embarrassing things to one another." He started down the secret
passage, since it was secret for a reason!
Tesarik One: Dorian, roll a spot.
OnlineHost: psionic wanderer rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
psionic wanderer: (+5 psion bonus, +2 perception = 23)
Allegro Luna: "hmm..secretpassages are narrow... I don't like them.." she
was following Dori repaymentan.
Tesarik One: You are lucky, you see the tripwire before you get to it!
Allegro Luna: [Dorian ]
Nobilis Arcanus: :He turned in the direction of Dorian, head tilted before
spotting the passage. At everything being said he just gave a quiet snort to
himself then moved towards the passage as well looking down the passage as
Dorian went down it.::
psionic wanderer: Well, good thing he walked slow. He stopped rather
abruptly and glanced down, head tilting a bit. "Hm. Er. Yes, that." Said with
a point of his hook down at it, before he just...disappeared and reappeared
immediately on the other
psionic wanderer: side of it.
Tesarik One: Dorian, roll spot.
OnlineHost: psionic wanderer rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
psionic wanderer: (+7 = 14)
Tesarik One: Unfortunately, he did not notice the pressure plate on the
other side of the tripwire. As he appeared on the other side, he felt his
foot move down and suddenly arrows shot out from both sides of the hallway at
him.
lurkerinshade: " Then think before you act , Slave of the Heavens. " Really
the matter could be dealt with quickly with the right spell... silence for
instance. " ...We aren't going that way are we.. bad plan. Baaaaad Plan.
Think of the
Tesarik One: (Roll Acrobatics)
lurkerinshade: halfling's pastries that will go uneaten.. " [ note: black
italic is the Imp, Sonne. ]
psionic wanderer: "Son of a b-" And then arrows came at him! He didn't
really have much chance of evading them, but perhaps he could just take the
hits so nobody else did. He braced himself. (Acrobatics declined)
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 4 5-sided dice: 1 5 3 1
Tesarik One: 10 hp dmg.
psionic wanderer: (Def? or none since it's a trap?)
Tesarik One: (If you have defense against arrows, go ahead and state it)
psionic wanderer: (+5 jacket of defense, +18 armored ink)
Tesarik One: The arrows ended up stuck in his jacket. Lucky!
Allegro Luna: "secret passages are never any fun, you should be more
careful."She frowned When she saw that he was the victim of a trap!
Tesarik One: Now, what are you going to do? Head back out, or keep moving
forward!?
psionic wanderer: Well..most of the arrows did anyway. One punched right
through and got him in the side, but while it was uncomfortable, it didn't
break the skin. Unfortunately it was on his left side and he couldn't easily
tug it out of his
psionic wanderer: clothing. "Well. It might not have been fun, but it wasn't
not fun either." He kept right moving! It'd take more than that to stop him.
No True Form: ~She frowned,..she felt suddenly guilty she needed to wake
up,..Dorian could have been killed and she could have checked for traps. She
moved froward~ I am sorry,..that shouldn't have happened. ~she sighed~ I could
have prevented
Tesarik One: She ran towards the hallway, stopping as she peeked down at it.
Dorian looked like he was in some trouble! Arrows sticking out of him?
"Dorian? Are you ok?" And, she finally saw the imp, and had to take a moment
to stare wide
No True Form: that or at least warned ~she moved forward~ I will pay more
attention (D)
Tesarik One: mouthed at it.
psionic wanderer: "Oh." He stopped after a step or two, then gave a 'go
ahead' gesture to Nani. "Be my guest."
Tesarik One: (Dorian, did you point out the tripwire to Nani before she
entered the passage?)
psionic wanderer: He looked back when he heard Halcyon and pointed to the
tripwire. "I'm fine dear, nothing to worry about." He pointed it out to
anyone, yep! He was still mostly on that pressure plate anyway.
psionic wanderer: "Though I do have an arrow stuck in my shirt, if you think
you can come get it out for me? The hook's not great for grabbing arrows."
Tesarik One: Ok! Nani, you checking for traps then?
No True Form: ~She nodded and moved forward careful on that tripwire he
pointed out,,...then taking the lead she took about three steps and then
crouched down doing a sweep for anymore traps~
No True Form: (yes)
lurkerinshade: " ... Told you.. baaaad plaaaaan. " The Imp obviously noticed
the woman staring his way, which.. just earned her the wave of one clawed
hand. Meanwhile.. Maereth enjoyed the sight of one seemingly human fellow
getting shot full of
No True Form: holy hell ~she sighed,..see she was damned good and spotting
the traps~ this entire hall is one massive trap after another I would say
more then 20! (D)
lurkerinshade: arrows.. if not for the damned defenses.. ah well.. it was a
cheerful thought at least. " Deal with the trap so we can progress.. lets see
what the Diamond Coat Knight's Lord hid down there.. " -d
Tesarik One: "Sure!" She had seen him point out the tripwire, so she stepped
over it and then plucked that arrow out of his shirt and looked side to side
from where the arrows had come out. Then she heard Nani and blinked, then
turned tail and
Tesarik One: tiptoed her way back out, over that first tripwire.
psionic wanderer: "Thank you." He looked down the hallway when Nani reported
and scowled at it. He was too curious to not follow this path some more.
"Damnit. Perhaps if someone runs really fast down it they'll set everything
off and not get hit."
Nobilis Arcanus: Twenty traps? ::he frowned some moving and tilted his head
looking down the path they were at. Head tilted some judging its distance.::
psionic wanderer: Yes, he knew that wasn't likely.
Allegro Luna: "let's just make it quick, I do not like Enclosed areas very
much." She actually had to stand up in the secret passage instead of using
her wings and she wasn't very happy." I could try
Allegro Luna: flyingto the other side?"
Nobilis Arcanus: I could make it, ::he gave a single nod.::There might be a
way to disable the traps on the other side.
psionic wanderer: "Can you tell what the traps do? If it's just more arrows,
I don't see the problem, but if it's going to collapse the passage, that's
another story."
No True Form: ~She shook her head some~ I cant say exactly what each is, but
its not just arrows,..trip wires,..pressure plates and,...well more then that
even. (D)
Tesarik One: "I have an idea....." She was out by the statue, but with a
little concentration, she poofed and in her place was a small house spider.
She skittered around, and moved into the hall. (Skill: Skittering Sneak)
psionic wanderer: It was good he didn't feel keen on stomping on spiders!
He'd hate to stomp on one of his best friends. He grinned when he saw the
spider instead, then sat down, staying put on his pressure plate. He didn't
particularly trust himself
psionic wanderer: to not start setting traps off if he didn't immobilize
himself.
Tesarik One: (Does anyone have something like...Shroudsight, or True Seeing,
who is in the main hall?)
psionic wanderer: (Both! But...damn.)
psionic wanderer: (Not in the main hall haha)
Tesarik One: (If anyone begins to move down that passageway, please make it
very clear to me. As Nani said, it's trapped to all hell. Every step you
take, is another trap.)
Nobilis Arcanus: (Nope but have arcane sight and see invisible)
psionic wanderer: Well, he didn't think spiders could talk, but he'd
telepath to Halcy Spider. *Let me know when you make it to the end and tell
me what you see, I suppose I'll have a look around elsewhere.* And then back
into the main hall he went,
psionic wanderer: to have a better, cheating look around for anything he
missed. (True Seeing, duration: 50 minutes)
Nobilis Arcanus: :Seeing the druid go spider he remained where he stood then
looked toward Nani, a small smile given before winking.;;
Tesarik One: Hopefully, a little spider wouldn't cause any traps to set off
because if insects couldn't move down trapped areas in tombs...that would
defeat the purpose of the traps! She skittered on down, here and there, the
little spider's
psionic wanderer: He blinked, then tilted his head and moved over towards
whatever it was he saw, speaking..well let's say Rumerian, since it seemed to
make sense. "Hello there." Yep, talking to empty space. It wasn't exactly the
oddest thing he'd do
psionic wanderer: done.*
Tesarik One: eyes taking it all in. She heard Dorian in her mind, but didn't
quite reply back. The spider disappeared down the long hallway and was gone
for a short bit of time.
No True Form: ~She stood ut didn't move, she could take out one of the traps
for sure and possibly more she had some trap disabeling skills but did she
want to risk it further,..maybe Dorians idea was right maybe if she ran fast.
~she gnawed on
No True Form: her inner lip as she stood silently.~ (D)
Tesarik One: The ghost, once he realized he'd been spotted (not that he'd
been hiding, he'd just gotten used to people not being able to see or talk to
him) stopped his sweeping and leaned on the broom, grinning over to
Tesarik One: Dorian, "You can see me?" said in Rumeria.
Tesarik One: Rumerian*
Allegro Luna: She was hovering above the floor and considering flying ahead.
she was just listening and behaving herself.
psionic wanderer: "Clearly." He gestured with his hook to the broom. "That
looks like a thankless job, considering where we are."
Tesarik One: "Always dusty dusty dusty. All I ever do is clean. I'm so....so
tired of cleaning and watching this tomb." He sighed and motioned to the
others. "Guessing they can't see me. That passageway they are staring down...
you won't make it
Tesarik One: down there alive...."
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He studied the look on her face and knew it,;;might not
be anything over there worth getting shot up or killed over sia itov. *D
psionic wanderer: "Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've been caught
underground by some nasty traps. And we have a very small spider spying for
us, I bet she'll make it. What can you tell me about what's down there? I
might be able to see about
psionic wanderer: finding some relief from your duty in exchange for
information."
lurkerinshade: " ... Hm. " Now exactly what was that man chatting with..
seeing as it was a tomb there were limited possibilities.. none of which he
could set his eyes on. He dealt with fiends.. not ghosts.. a fact that turned
out to be enough to
No True Form: ~She looked to him then back~ then again might be something
worth it too. ~she shifted her weight a bit but didn't lunge in as of
yet,..she was still considering.~ (D)
Tesarik One: "Algellar's down there. Algellar, Algellar.... the reason I'm
here. Oh there's treasure down there too, but you will die before you even
reach the stairs down to the tomb."
psionic wanderer: "Do the traps get nastier than that first set of arrows?
It wasn't really that bad." He thought for a moment, then telepathed to
Halcyon again. *Be careful, apparently Algellar is down there.* Then to the
ghost once again. "What
Tesarik One: *Dorian! I found stairs at the end of the passage, and a door
at the end of the stairs down. I climbed under it, there's a big old coffin
in here and a little bit of jewelry, and some old coins.* Skitter skitter.
psionic wanderer: about the other door?"
lurkerinshade: restore his focus to those not talking to empty space. Well
they weren't doing anything useful either. " Lets have a look around, Sonne.
" And thus Maereth set back to searching the part of the tomb that wasn't
filled with an assort
lurkerinshade: ment of traps. Mayhaps there was yet a means to disable the
traps from this side.. ceiling bound switches or the like.. [ Search Check ]
OnlineHost: lurkerinshade rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Tesarik One: "Oh yes. Halfway through the passage you'll wind up in a vat of
acid. One of the triggers will cause the stones on either side to crush you.
If, by chance, you make it that far, the arrows get poisoned. And, even if
you make it to
lurkerinshade: [ really now Online host.. ]
Tesarik One: the end... the last strap fills the passage with stones."
Allegro Luna: she was beginning to become very quiet and focused on what
was ahead of them, Making the assumption that they are going to go To the
end." Awaiting commands."
Tesarik One: Maereth doesn't find anything else of note....except that door
they never went into!
psionic wanderer: "Nani, I advise not trying my idea of a sprint." He
switched from common seamlessly back to Rumerian and nodded. "Unpleasant, to
be sure. How might one go about disabling them? Any way at all, from either
side?"
No True Form: ~Hearing she turned her head then frowned.~ hmmm alright ~she
figured he wouldn't have said it if he hadnt some extra info looking to Rhyss
she grinned and gave a shrug.~ darn you almost were free of me. (D)
Tesarik One: The ghost began sweeping again, sighing and moaning a little.
Then he seemed to have an idea, and stopped and stared at him. "I will tell
you how to get through the passageway if you make me a promise to do
something for me."
psionic wanderer: "Well, I never promise to anything unless I know what it
is first. What would you like me to do?"
Nobilis Arcanus: Nah I would drag you back from the afterlife,:;he smirked
some while leaning against the door frame staring down the passage.::We arnt
moving just yet till we get a bit more information.
Tesarik One: "Destroy Algellar's body."
psionic wanderer: "Is that all? Agreed." Bodies were useless things anyway,
and the dead wouldn't miss them."
psionic wanderer: - that last " *
Allegro Luna: "I am fairly heavily armored and I can also fly. we can also
run past the last strap?"
psionic wanderer: "Just stay put for now, everyone, I think I've got us a
solution. *Halcy, you can go ahead and come back.*
lurkerinshade: " Imp, search now. " And of course the talkative imp would
follow the order.. not that there was much to look at in this part of the
tomb. Well except maybe a flight around the statue. Could be something there!

was obsessed..... enamored even... of Algellar. He loved him, truly loved
him. Even made him a knight of the land, gave him a house and servants... and
even after his
Tesarik One: death, he bound my family to always serve Algellar. Until his
body's destroyed, I will never be free."
Tesarik One: Yep, imp found the same thing..... a door they hadn't explored!
No True Form: ~She turned her head then nodded,..only to realize it wasn't as
if he could see the nod~ staying put! ~she called back out to him~ (D)
psionic wanderer: "I see no problem with your request, sir...what was your
name, again?"
Tesarik One: She was already skittering back, running over Nani's shoe, then
under the tripwire and soon came back out of the passageway, and poof was all
Halcy-like again! She shivered.
Tesarik One: "Markian."
Allegro Luna: [disregard pist]
lurkerinshade: The imp also happened to become distracted.. helped that
there was a chat going on he could only notice one-side of! " Theres a door,
you can open doors, right boss? ..Whats he chatting with, eh? " -d
psionic wanderer: "Markian, then. I'll be happy to destroy his body to free
you. I said I'd find some relief from your duty, didn't I?" He smiled. "Now
that that's agreed, how about getting past those traps, hm?"
Tesarik One: Markian leaned forward, whispering to Dorian. Not that anyone
else could hear the old ghost. "One step inside the passageway, right before
the first tripwire. Turn your head to the left. Count six stones upwards.
Then two stones
Tesarik One: forward. Press it. It will disengage every trap."
psionic wanderer: "Excellent. One more question, if I may? What's behind
that other door?" Said with a point towards it.
Tesarik One: "It was where my family lived when we were alive. You see, we
were bound to serve the tomb. Our family, our children, their children, and
their children after. But, I wanted another life. I left the tomb, made my
way into the world.
Tesarik One: While I was gone, would be robbers came in and murdered my two
brothers, their wives ,and their children. I never knew.... until I died. I
was the last of the family... and I found myself here."
psionic wanderer: He frowned at that, and nodded once. "I see. Shall we
leave it be, or would you like something done with it after we're done with
your former master?"
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He removed a coin from a pocket and began idly flipping
it while waiting to learn what had been found out. A glance over his shoulder
before looking back down the passage.::
Tesarik One: "There is nothing of value in there. No robbers have ever
gotten past the passage... the tunnels beneath this tomb are filled with
bones from the traps. But, they could loot our living area, and they did."
psionic wanderer: He nodded. He'd take that as a leave it alone then!
Perhaps deal with any bodies left in there so give them proper burials! "Very
well. Thank you, Markian. My associates and I have work to do, now." That
done, he moved back to the
Tesarik One: (Listen Check everyone!)
psionic wanderer: secret passage, stopped right before the tripwire, and
followed the instructions of the ghost, counting the six stones up and two
forward, and then he gave it a good push with his hook. Unless he heard
something horrible first!

the open door. "We aren't alone."
psionic wanderer: Well, given where that growling was coming from, yes. He'd
hit that block and give it a good push. If they needed to retreat it'd be
nice to not retreat into a bunch of traps!
Tesarik One: There was an odd sound of clicks and movements and stuff all
the way down the hallway as the traps were all disabled.

appeared to be very happy to have something to fight.
Tesarik One: A large feline face appeared in the doorway, and the massive
beast stepped inside. A dire lynx, it was huge, nearly as big as a horse!
And, as if that wasn't scary enough, a second came inside. A mated pair, that
had laired nearby.
Tesarik One: The female seemed more perturbed than the male, it was she that
entered first. Prowling on it's enormous paws, it's fur standing on end. The
claws were like daggers clicking on the stone floor.
Tesarik One: It sniffed and then with a mighty leap, went for Halcyon. If it
hit, it grabbed her by the shoulder, bit down crunching bone and sinew, and
shook her.

wishing to fight the animals.
Tesarik One: animal. She rushed into the passageway and ran along the
hallway that was lit up, thankfully Dorian had shut down all the traps.
psionic wanderer: "Astounding." He could probably know this bunch for an
entire lifetime and never piece together why they made the decisions they
made. It was down the hall with him, though of course he was slow so it'd
take him a while.
Nobilis Arcanus: ::Well Dorian was already in the hall,..he just now waited

the braided beard.::

of the Dire Lynx dead.. they could have a fiend-possessed dead dire lynx to

Tesarik One: The female dire lynx leaped after Maereth, if the statue had
not been in the way, it would have truly tried to rip his spine out with
those massive claws. But, it was too big to get behind the statue against the
wall there and too
Tesarik One: big to go down the passageway.
Nobilis Arcanus: transparent wall of force between them and pissed off
kitties.:: (Warmage commanders ring, Wall of Force 1/3/daily)
Tesarik One: She could do something, and she did. She cast a spell, which
removed their scent from the areas. So, the animals would think they were
gone, they would not be able to smell any of them at all. (Negate Aroma -
Spell)
Tesarik One: Noted.
Tesarik One: As their scent completely faded, the lynx couple would sniff
around a little more, but eventually headed back out and to their lair nearby
where 3 baby lynxes were waiting for them.
Tesarik One: At the end of the passageway were stairs down. The torches
ended there. A door was at the bottom, it would be locked. But, no trapped.

end of the hall and to the door at the bottom of the stairs~ (D)
Tesarik One: She got to the door first it seemed, but while she did have a
little bit of practice checking for traps, she was not capable of
lockpicking. Nope, not one of her skills at all. So she stepped aside, after
giving a push to the door.

against it, lighting up one of the last torches in the passageway to continue
assisting his low-light vision.

off tonight but I will give it a try..heck if I cant do it maybe someone else

lid. There are a few boxes here and there, with some jewelry and old coins,
and a couple chests with some various loot pieces. But of course, they are

Tesarik One: diamond* studded armor right! The sarcophagus lid slides open
easily.... and it becomes very clear as soon as the lid is pushed aside, that
Algellar ....
Tesarik One: was a fucking horse.

him and blinked once, then shrugged. "We can expect Algellar's corpse, I'd
imagine. It is his tomb, after all." And then in he went since it was opened
up!
Allegro Luna: she was just standing guard.[ Telephone]
psionic wanderer: "..." Snort. "Well doesn't this just look like something
one of you lot would dream up. Enslave an entire family of people to guard
the tomb of a fucking horse."
Tesarik One: True to legend, Algellar was buried in his armor. Diamond
studded leather horse barding. Ha!

aside before just blinking,:;this has to be a joke? ::He tilted his head some

defend yourselves with violence against an animal, and yet I've seen some of
you gleefully attack people, who could very well have been defending their
territory. I think it's
psionic wanderer: that sort of thinking that leads to this." He was tickled
by it, at least. "Well, I promised to destroy the damned body, so get that
armor off of it."
Allegro Luna: "there was no need to kill them, it is as simple as that"
and now she was very happy that she had kicked him earlier.
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He smirked some,::yes but the woman who shares my bed
requested me not to kill an animal I figure its best to honor that request.
::He was removing the barding,:;not the best diamonds around.
lurkerinshade: " .... And they call the elvish races eccentric. " Maereth
shook his head over the sight of a horse given its own tomb. The imp on his
shoulder was eyeing the horse corpse a bit more. " Ha! I get it.. " But back
to the words and
psionic wanderer: "There's no need to kill probably ninety percent of the
things this adventuring company has killed. I fail to see why they were
special."
Tesarik One: She was scratching the back of her neck as she peered into the
tomb, this was an odd turn of events. She went poking around the other
treasures, letting them handle the big horse and it's barding.

sentimental to be of aid. " -d
Nobilis Arcanus: ::Well he did see some auras in here as he adjusted the
barding over his shoulder watching silently.;:
psionic wanderer: "I'm merely pointing out the inconsistency in that
particular point of view. I'm rarely interested in killing at all, since you
bring it up." He focused, then started using his telekinesis to break apart
the horse's body at as tiny
Tesarik One: Maria could still sell the barding, and divide up the gold....
plus, there were loots around they could get! (I'm gonna use my new loot
generator to see what we come up with.)
psionic wanderer: a level as possible, essentially turning it into dust
eventually, unless he was interrupted somehow.
Nobilis Arcanus: I prefer killing humanoid enemies.
lurkerinshade: Anyroad.. the Szarkai at least set to looking about. Couldn't
be just a dead horse to be kicked.. a lot. Time to loot the place. -d
psionic wanderer: "And you don't think that makes you a
bit...er...psychotic?"
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He gave a slow blink,:and your point?
Tesarik One: (Ok. Everyone roll 1d75)
Nobilis Arcanus: They make better sounds when roasting,..of course animal
tastes better.
No True Form: Yes well inconsistency is what makes life entertaining. ~She
moved over to the boxes she had seen,..maybe something that sparkled,..like
gems,..she liked gems,..gems sparkled sparkle was good!~

OnlineHost: lurkerinshade rolled 1 75-sided die: 55
psionic wanderer: Hopefully dusting the corpse would be sufficient to
release the spirit! If not, he could set the dust on fire.
Tesarik One: Freedom. Markia was freed as soon as the last bit of the
horse's corpse got destroyed. He would not be found anywhere in the tomb when
they left.
Tesarik One: Markian*
Nobilis Arcanus: I am who I am and quite talented at what I do so to me its
an artform. War isnt for the weak of heart or the compassionate, had they of
attacked further I would have destroyed them without looking back or a second
thought.
Allegro Luna: "no wonder,...." she went silent deciding not to be
mean-spirited tonight, after all she was a super nice person. She was happy
with her performance
Allegro Luna: regardless of what others say.
No True Form: you know I am a serious animal lover but,..really all those
traps for a horse,..? (D)
Tesarik One: 69. Tunic of the Night [Torso]
Nobilis Arcanus: He,..really loved his horse.
Tesarik One: This tunic is of the highest possible quality while still tough
enough to handle any amount of physical demands upon the wearer without
finding itself in ruin. A deep rich shade of blue this tunic
Tesarik One: was fashion to fit the owner and the owner alone. Thanks to a
large portion of treated darkweave material this shirt offers a +5 to
stealth.
Tesarik One: 32. Poacher's Blade [Weapon]
Tesarik One: A poacher's blade is a sickly yellow glowing longsword (1d6)
with a serrated blade. These weapons were initially developed by poachers to
aid in their cruel harvest of trophies, but many adventurers
Tesarik One: have found the qualities of the blade to be especially helpful
when exploring areas infested with creatures that have natural attacks.
Druids and other guardians of nature find poacher's blades to be
Tesarik One: sickening and overly cruel, but the swords themselves are not
intrinsically evil. A poacher's blade has the baneful (animals) ability
(extra 1d5 against animals).
Tesarik One: He really really loved his horse. Made the horse a Knight, and
gave him his own home.
psionic wanderer: (That is the most hilarious thing I've seen all night)
Tesarik One: (What is?)
Nobilis Arcanus: (LOL It really kinda is)
psionic wanderer: (Nani getting the poacher's blades)
Nobilis Arcanus: (Nani getting the blades)
Tesarik One: 65. Vest of the Bloodhound [Torso or Cloak]
Tesarik One: (Bloodhound Profession Only)
Tesarik One: This green-and-brown vest has pockets sewn along its length,
each with a tiny lodestone button. The wearer feels a surge of heroism when
she tracks down marked prey. She gains a +1 to strike and
Tesarik One: damage rolls made with weapons against one creature she has
successfully tracked within the previous 24 hours. If her one target is
considered a Mark, this bonus increases to +2. If her one target is
Tesarik One: also a member of her Favored Rival organization (using that
skill), she gains a bonus on critical hit rolls against the target, allowing
a critical hit on 19-20 Strike.
Tesarik One: 18. Nobleman's Dagger [Weapon]
Tesarik One: This is a beautiful, gem-studded dagger with an edge that never
needs sharpened. It has a slight curve to the blade and the hilt and sheath
are covered in precious gems. It gives a 1d4 ATK.
Tesarik One: 55. Doomharp [Magic Item]
Tesarik One: (Bard Profession)
Tesarik One: Made from bone and sun-dried sinew, this harp produces a vague
sense of unease in anyone near it. If the owner of this item has the
profession Bard, he can use it to perform a dirge of doom. A bard
Tesarik One: who plays this dirge of doom for their round of combat causes
all enemies in a radius of 60 feet to be fear-stricken if they fail their
Willpower Save of DC17.
Tesarik One: (Ok folks. You can trade them with each other if you want....
sell them.... offer them for sell to other players, or do whatever you want
with them)
lurkerinshade: [ anyone want to trade... heh. ]
psionic wanderer: (I've got a plan for mine)
No True Form: (yeah lol really nani gets poacher blades ~head slap~ )
Tesarik One: (lol)
lurkerinshade: [ Ah well .. got to find a bard to sell a harp to.. ]
Tesarik One: (I think one of the gypsies is a bard)

Tesarik One: Mistakes? IM me.
Tesarik One: Tonight's mission takes our team to the frozen kingdom of
Rumeria, the Barrens to be exact near the town of Drakwell. In a recent
meeting, Maria was given some information about a tomb that was located in
the Barrens, an ancient
Tesarik One: tomb of course, of the ancient knight and politician Algellar.
There was lore surrounding Algellar:
Tesarik One: Long ago, during the reign of Tsar Haius the Magnificently
Obese, the name Algellar was spoken throughout the land. Some spoke of him
reverently, others as if he were a sick joke played upon them by
Tesarik One: the tsar. But all agreed that he was one of their ruler's
favorites. And perhaps even more so, they spoke of the Coat of Diamonds, an
impenetrable suit of armor granted him as a gift from the tsar.
Tesarik One: When he died, he was buried in a small tomb in the Barrens near
Drakwell, where he could watch over his wandering kin for eternity.
Tesarik One: Impenetrable coat of diamonds? Hell yes! So, gather your gear,
head through the Port Union portal, prepare for cold weather and onwards we
go! Allons-y!
psionic wanderer: Well! Dorian assumed this was the meeting Maria had
mentioned the previous night, and he was a bit worried to leave her so soon
after what'd happened...on the other hand, he knew full well she could take
care of herself. So it was
psionic wanderer: off to the port union for him! As usual, he wouldn't be
the first one through it, he'd wait around for others to gather, idly toying
with his hook in the meantime. He didn't appear dressed for cold weather, but
as a few Zorcans
Tesarik One: Cold weather, that's what Halcyon had been told, and she was
not happy! But, it was a good thing the feral druid had a pretty little spell
called 'endure elements' that would allow her to go without being too cold.
So, running after
Tesarik One: Dorian, and very possibly running AROUND him a few times,
Halcyon joined the group wearing as very little as the wild child could get
away with in public. Falcata at her side, leafweave armor covering all the
soft bits, and bracers
psionic wanderer: could testify, he'd be just fine. He also figured he
better be sharp if they were going into a tomb! (Spells: Ignore Conditions to
resist mundane cold/hot/etc effects for 24 hours, and Firing All Synapses for
+2 int for one quest,
Tesarik One: of ant chitin strapped on, she was ready for some ancient tomb
crawling!
lurkerinshade: A tomb.. fresh of a ship from Kir'Viir for a visit to the
mainland and this Adventuring Group to help line his pockets.. and the best
they could offer.. was tomb-robbing! Ah, well least there would be corpses
about to make use of
psionic wanderer: which also adds 2 hp from the Mind over Body skill)
Tesarik One: Noted.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Well he figured he would tag along and the cold weather
was easily avoided with the ring he and Nani both wore. While walking he
glanced to her, a hand settled to her shoulder, the other gloved hand pressed
to his chest casting
lurkerinshade: towards the goal that was this.. Coat of Diamonds. The ..
difficulty came in where the chilled enviroment of Rumeria came to mind..
well too late to turn away from the portal within Port Union in order to back
away from the matter
psionic wanderer: He smiled as Halcy ran around him, and gave her a pat on
the head once she settled down, if she settled down. "You seem excited to go
tomb-robbing." Spoken in Feral, of course.
Nobilis Arcanus: two spells quickly to boost both of them up now with the
Cat's Grace spell, (+2 Qck stat boost) his hand fell looking to Nani and gave
her a small grin and a wink.::Ready my dear? *D
Tesarik One: A map had been duplicated, and handed out to them all showing
where to go from Drakwell across the Barrens to find the tomb. Maria waved
them all through, and folded her arms to watch for a moment.
Tesarik One: "I'm just excited to go out into the wilderness!" she said back
in Feral to him. She was dirty as ever, if not dirtier tonight and her hair
was an absolute mess. Too bad she didn't get extra defense from the dirt and
matted hair!
psionic wanderer: He took the map and tucked it into his satchel with nary a
look at it, then snuck in a good hug for Maria before heading towards the
portal, probably with Halcy. He chuckled. "I'll bet. Maybe a roll in the snow
would clean you up a
psionic wanderer: bit. If not, I think you'll need a bath when we get back."
lurkerinshade: now. " Eh, perk up Cutter, we've a tomb to ransack! Onward! "
Words from the crimson hellspawn hiding away somewhere in the cloak wrapped
about the Diabolist. The imp's words earned no reply.. but did earn the pale
elf moving
No True Form: ~She hated cold,..hated hated,.even with the ring that
adjusted just seeing it had he frowning and shivering some, sighing softly
she looked up at him.~ as ready as I will ever be considering the intense
amount of cold. ~she
No True Form: grumbled softly~ (D)
lurkerinshade: through the portal after the maps had been passed out..
nothing ventured, nothing gained..said the vermin race of mankind.-d
Tesarik One: "Why?" She furrowed her brow, not at all understanding why she
needed a bath at all. It was too cold to swim in the lakes and ponds, which
was why she got extra dirty in the snowy winter! She waved to Maria, and gave
a good sniff of
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He gave a small smile,;:it will give you a chance to test
the new blades dear. ::And off he moved with her through the portal while
raising his free hand to stroke the braided beard.::
Nobilis Arcanus: ::And after taking a map.::
Tesarik One: the area as they stepped through. Cold snowy plains. And an
imp, an imp came with them..........that caused her to stop and point.
Tesarik One: Or maybe she hadn't seen the imp yet!
Allegro Luna: Allegro was flying around the group dressed in a
mithra,lweave suit, black,white and furry gray wolf fur skirt and matching
vest.Hr massive claymore tied to her back via silver sheath. Furry blonde
hair and fox tail swaying with
Allegro Luna: joy as she flew in circles,fox ears twitching .
Tesarik One: The map was easy to follow. Head southwest out of Drakwell.
They were on the outskirts of the small town of Drakwell - oddly the town had
been built in, and around the massive bones of a dragon. They'd note that
easily.
Allegro Luna: (edinner,so slow.)
No True Form: ~She huffed softly shaking her head some as she followed him
through the portal.~ hm ~she muttered softly then sighed gritting her
teeth,..snow ick ick cold ick ick. ~She sighed softly, tilting her head some
as she looked around~ (
No True Form: (D)
psionic wanderer: "Because you're filthy, dear." He gave her another little
pat on the head, and tinkered around a bit with her brain while he was at it
so he wouldn't have to spend all night translating. (Spell: Universal
Translator, target: Halcy,
psionic wanderer: allowing her to understand Common for 24 hours)
lurkerinshade: Well now.. a dragon skeleton about a town.. well that just
offered up quite the oppurtunity for chaos should the .. bones have a
fiendish spirit forced into them and set towards causing destruction.. ah,
enough to bring a smile to
Tesarik One: She never knew when he tinkered in her head most of the time,
but suddenly she could understand what was being said around her. She paused,
peeked around at everyone, and waved with a grin to those she knew like Rhyss
and Nani, and
Tesarik One: even Allegro. She eyed Dorian a moment, and considered
discussing why it was so important for her NOT to be filthy, but decided
she'd stare down at the map. She couldn't read it, but she could see the
pictures well enough to figure
Tesarik One: out which way they needed to go. And so she started walking.
lurkerinshade: .. now very cold Maereth. The diabolical considerations were
given pause with the notice of one of his .. comrades.. flying about like a
fool. " ....I hope she will be serving as our distraction for any sentient
opposition to our
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He returned the wave to the wild child then turned to
look to Nani and would give another small smile hearing the sigh. His arm
moved to slide through her own before leaning down and whispering lightly.::
lurkerinshade: progress.. that's .. too noticeable. " And Maereth simply
didn't care for being noticed if they had tomb-robbing in their list of goals
here. -d
psionic wanderer: At least he never tinkered in harmful ways! He just smiled
to her again when she eyed him and then took out his own map, eyeing the
town, then glancing at the map. Those were some rather large bones. He wasn't
much of a map person
Tesarik One: She decided as she moved along to cast a quick spell, and soon
enough, she had antlers atop her head. (Aspect of the Stag - +2 Quickness)
psionic wanderer: however, so back into his satchel it went. He frowned,
having just realized he forgot to bring his fancy new spyglass, but oh well!
He just needed to get that new satchel so he could fit it in with everything
else. (brb)
No True Form: ~She gave a small smile to the waving fingers wiggeling. Then
hearing Rhyss she had to smile a tiny bit then arched a brow~ hmmmm (D)
Tesarik One: Rhyss's two spells noted.

Nobilis Arcanus: ;::He turned and spotted the dragon bones, head tilted some
as he let the bronze tinted eyes sweep over the skull if there was one to
identify the breed.::
Nobilis Arcanus: ::Well not seeing a skull he just gave a faint shrug to
himself then looked back to Nani,::see now I have you thinking dont I
darling? *D
Tesarik One: The map was a good one. There were landmarks and directions
written on them. They walked a good hour or so, and came to a rocky ledge. Up
along the hillside, they could see the double doors to the tomb. The doors
were large enough
Tesarik One: that someone riding on top of a horse could easily just walk
right on in without bending their head, a good 10-12 feet tall. There were
words written in an old form of Rumerian across the top of the tomb.
Tesarik One: Engraved into the stone upon the doors itself was a rearing
horse, upon which sat a richly clad rider bearing sword and shield, and clad
in armor.
Allegro Luna: The shiny flying fox,angel,human.....mutt was fast and
watching the front for threats with her left hand on the hilt of her massive
Claymore that crackled withof lightning .
Tesarik One: She traveled along, low to the ground at times, sniffing around
the area as they moved. She too kept her eyes and ears, and nose peeled for
danger. It was a wild land here, and while she preferred forests, she liked
the wild feel of
Tesarik One: the Barrens. Antlered head turned one way then the other, and
then she scrambled up the rocks towards the big tomb. She couldn't read, so
there was no use in her even attempting to read the words.
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He moved towards the doors raisinghis eyes to the script,
head tipped some.::Anyone else have a more natural way of reading this? ::He
looked back towards the group that was with him, brow arched.:: *D
No True Form: ~She smriked some looking to him~ still not enough to deal
with the cold on a regular basis. ~she muttered softly then turned watching
silently.~ (D)
lurkerinshade: Maereth stood back from the others while they took up
whatever action they deemed fitting.. while his set briefly on the matter of
the doorway of the tomb.. paying some mind to the imagery.. which told this
paticular Kir'Viir
Tesarik One: (Anyone who can read Rumerian can figure it out)
Nobilis Arcanus: (Not one of Rhyss's skills)
lurkerinshade: native nothing. The ways, speech, and script of this land
were quite foreign to Maereth.. and no doubt the hidden imp's as well. " Are
we to be stopped in our tracks by a door then, hm?"-d
Allegro Luna: She fluttered up to read the unknown language ,she wshrugged
not understanding the letters.
Allegro Luna: "no clue"
Tesarik One: "We have no rogues to see if the door is unlocked, locked, or
safe to enter?" She wrinkled her nose, but probably only Dorian understood
what she even said, unless his spell let others communicate with her as well.
She wrung her
Tesarik One: hands a little, and looked from one person to the next as they
just stood there staring at the tomb. Well, one of her secondary skills she'd
learned was detecting traps, so if no one stepped forward to get them into
the tomb, she'd
Tesarik One: do it....but for now she waited, she was the druid healer, not
the take charge person!
psionic wanderer: Oh it'd let her speak common too, she'd just think she was
speaking feral! He'd zoned out and just sorta tagged along. "Hm? What's going
on now?"
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He turned raising a gloved hand and motioned Nani forward
the other was retrieving a pinch of silver dust and flung it up over the
writing and cast Decipher.::
No True Form: ~She saw the motion and moved forward~ yeah? ~she was sort of
spacing~ looking to the dust he flung over the writing she glanced at it then
No True Form: to Rhyss.~ (D)
psionic wanderer: He was about to alter his brain to read that writing,
since apparently everyone was just standing around trying to read it, but if
Rhyss wanted to throw dust at it, well, that'd be better, and possibly not
result in a brain tumor.
psionic wanderer: "Is nobody going to check the door for traps, or are we
just standing around here staring at it?"
Nobilis Arcanus: Need your shadier talents sia itov,::he smiled then turned
some looking to the doors.::
Tesarik One: She shrugged. "I can, Dorian." But, heard Rhyss - actually
understood him for once! So she continued to wait a few more minutes.
No True Form: ~She blinked then looked to the doors~ shadier that is a nice
way of saying it. ~She moved to the doors standing before them lifting her
hand lightly not quite touching the door~ (rogue proff - trap detection)
psionic wanderer: Well it was good someone was doing it, he'd not be much
use with only one hand. Unless the traps could be found/disarmed by jamming a
hook into them.
No True Form: ~She looked up then stepped back~ there are no traps ~she
muttered, then well tried to open it,.if it wasn't locked.~ (D)
Allegro Luna: She flapped her wings and drew her massive Blade Vulpis
Lunaris that had a black blade that seemed to show the univere i n the
steel.Lightning sufrronding it.
Tesarik One: It wasn't locked! It was damn heavy, but she could get it open.
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He was moving forward seeing it budgeing and helped with
opening the door. When it was opened he glanced into the tomb, head tilted
some.::I take it torches were left behind?
psionic wanderer: Well he wasn't one to stand idly by when a lady had to
open a heavy door, so he gave it a good push with his telekinesis to assist.
It'd work better than his muscle.
Tesarik One: Once one of the large doors is opened, they can walk inside the
cold, dark interior. The light from outside shines in and illuminates the
interior, there are six unlit torches upon the walls. Long
Tesarik One: troughs of water line both of the hall's edges, and an
observant character notices that water cycles through them, apparently
refilling from some sort of natural spring. Although the floor is quite
Tesarik One: dusty, a small, ever-present breeze wafts the dust slowly out
the now open exterior door. There is only one obvious door, on the right hand
wall, a small door such as would be in someone's house. At the
Tesarik One: far end of the wall is a life-sized statue of the same rearing
horse, and rider clad in armor with shield and sword.
Tesarik One: (If anyone wishes to search this room, please make your action
and roll a search)
lurkerinshade: He for one had no need for a torch to see in darkness.. and
so once the path forward was open to them Maereth stood back long enough to
let one of the others precede first. The statue after all was pointless
unless it served as a
Allegro Luna: {Hal of light}"Oh heavens,illuminate my sight on the road to
victory ."An angelic halo alppeared above her head brjightly as she searched
.
psionic wanderer: Well then into the tomb it was. He stepped in, eyeing a
torch and exciting its molecules, moving faster and faster until it burst
into wonderful flames. He didn't pick it up, but it would help his vision
after a bit of tinkering
psionic wanderer: with his photoreceptor cells. (Spell: Alter Vision,
choosing low-light vision, duration: 24 hours)

psionic wanderer: Well hey that halo would be giving off enough light that
he wouldn't even need to float the torch along with since nobody else seemed
to need help seeing. He wrinkled his nose a bit at the words from the person
he didn't recognize.
lurkerinshade: [ 3. ]
psionic wanderer: "There's no need to be rude about things, I'm sure nobody
intended to harm your eyes. It's just a bit of light, anyway. Hm." He stepped
back and looked at the head of the horse statue for a moment, staring.
Tesarik One: She stepped in as well, and began to search the area, ending up
at the small door and sniffing at it to see if she could smell what might be
on the other side.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
Tesarik One: 15
psionic wanderer: He lifted his hand and made a slight gesture with his
finger towards that horse head, attempting to turn it, without actually
touching it of course. It certainly looked like it should turn.
Tesarik One: The horse head on the statue turned just a wee bit, there was a
click.... and.....
lurkerinshade: " Sile..." Forunately someone decided to interrupt the elf. "
Whooooooaa there, Boss, lets not make the nice adventurers angry.. " Cue the
imp working his way out of the cloak and towards a shoulder-perch...and ..
just in time for
psionic wanderer: Oh goodie. He made something happen! He did wince a bit at
the click.
lurkerinshade: click. " .... Eep. " -d
Tesarik One: A passageway opened behind the statue, torches lit up every
couple of feet, lighting the long passageway.
Allegro Luna: She was considering cleaving the man into pieces after what
he told her.But she very quickly forgot about it and continue toflutter
around them." Say something like that again....."
Tesarik One: They had a choice (we all love these right?). They could see
what was behind the door, or go down the secret passage first!
psionic wanderer: "Nobody say anything like that again, or I'll start making
you lot do embarrassing things to one another." He started down the secret
passage, since it was secret for a reason!
Tesarik One: Dorian, roll a spot.
OnlineHost: psionic wanderer rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
psionic wanderer: (+5 psion bonus, +2 perception = 23)
Allegro Luna: "hmm..secretpassages are narrow... I don't like them.." she
was following Dori repaymentan.
Tesarik One: You are lucky, you see the tripwire before you get to it!
Allegro Luna: [Dorian ]
Nobilis Arcanus: :He turned in the direction of Dorian, head tilted before
spotting the passage. At everything being said he just gave a quiet snort to
himself then moved towards the passage as well looking down the passage as
Dorian went down it.::
psionic wanderer: Well, good thing he walked slow. He stopped rather
abruptly and glanced down, head tilting a bit. "Hm. Er. Yes, that." Said with
a point of his hook down at it, before he just...disappeared and reappeared
immediately on the other
psionic wanderer: side of it.
Tesarik One: Dorian, roll spot.
OnlineHost: psionic wanderer rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
psionic wanderer: (+7 = 14)
Tesarik One: Unfortunately, he did not notice the pressure plate on the
other side of the tripwire. As he appeared on the other side, he felt his
foot move down and suddenly arrows shot out from both sides of the hallway at
him.
lurkerinshade: " Then think before you act , Slave of the Heavens. " Really
the matter could be dealt with quickly with the right spell... silence for
instance. " ...We aren't going that way are we.. bad plan. Baaaaad Plan.
Think of the
Tesarik One: (Roll Acrobatics)
lurkerinshade: halfling's pastries that will go uneaten.. " [ note: black
italic is the Imp, Sonne. ]
psionic wanderer: "Son of a b-" And then arrows came at him! He didn't
really have much chance of evading them, but perhaps he could just take the
hits so nobody else did. He braced himself. (Acrobatics declined)
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 4 5-sided dice: 1 5 3 1
Tesarik One: 10 hp dmg.
psionic wanderer: (Def? or none since it's a trap?)
Tesarik One: (If you have defense against arrows, go ahead and state it)
psionic wanderer: (+5 jacket of defense, +18 armored ink)
Tesarik One: The arrows ended up stuck in his jacket. Lucky!
Allegro Luna: "secret passages are never any fun, you should be more
careful."She frowned When she saw that he was the victim of a trap!
Tesarik One: Now, what are you going to do? Head back out, or keep moving
forward!?
psionic wanderer: Well..most of the arrows did anyway. One punched right
through and got him in the side, but while it was uncomfortable, it didn't
break the skin. Unfortunately it was on his left side and he couldn't easily
tug it out of his
psionic wanderer: clothing. "Well. It might not have been fun, but it wasn't
not fun either." He kept right moving! It'd take more than that to stop him.
No True Form: ~She frowned,..she felt suddenly guilty she needed to wake
up,..Dorian could have been killed and she could have checked for traps. She
moved froward~ I am sorry,..that shouldn't have happened. ~she sighed~ I could
have prevented
Tesarik One: She ran towards the hallway, stopping as she peeked down at it.
Dorian looked like he was in some trouble! Arrows sticking out of him?
"Dorian? Are you ok?" And, she finally saw the imp, and had to take a moment
to stare wide
No True Form: that or at least warned ~she moved forward~ I will pay more
attention (D)
Tesarik One: mouthed at it.
psionic wanderer: "Oh." He stopped after a step or two, then gave a 'go
ahead' gesture to Nani. "Be my guest."
Tesarik One: (Dorian, did you point out the tripwire to Nani before she
entered the passage?)
psionic wanderer: He looked back when he heard Halcyon and pointed to the
tripwire. "I'm fine dear, nothing to worry about." He pointed it out to
anyone, yep! He was still mostly on that pressure plate anyway.
psionic wanderer: "Though I do have an arrow stuck in my shirt, if you think
you can come get it out for me? The hook's not great for grabbing arrows."
Tesarik One: Ok! Nani, you checking for traps then?
No True Form: ~She nodded and moved forward careful on that tripwire he
pointed out,,...then taking the lead she took about three steps and then
crouched down doing a sweep for anymore traps~
No True Form: (yes)
lurkerinshade: " ... Told you.. baaaad plaaaaan. " The Imp obviously noticed
the woman staring his way, which.. just earned her the wave of one clawed
hand. Meanwhile.. Maereth enjoyed the sight of one seemingly human fellow
getting shot full of
No True Form: holy hell ~she sighed,..see she was damned good and spotting
the traps~ this entire hall is one massive trap after another I would say
more then 20! (D)
lurkerinshade: arrows.. if not for the damned defenses.. ah well.. it was a
cheerful thought at least. " Deal with the trap so we can progress.. lets see
what the Diamond Coat Knight's Lord hid down there.. " -d
Tesarik One: "Sure!" She had seen him point out the tripwire, so she stepped
over it and then plucked that arrow out of his shirt and looked side to side
from where the arrows had come out. Then she heard Nani and blinked, then
turned tail and
Tesarik One: tiptoed her way back out, over that first tripwire.
psionic wanderer: "Thank you." He looked down the hallway when Nani reported
and scowled at it. He was too curious to not follow this path some more.
"Damnit. Perhaps if someone runs really fast down it they'll set everything
off and not get hit."
Nobilis Arcanus: Twenty traps? ::he frowned some moving and tilted his head
looking down the path they were at. Head tilted some judging its distance.::
psionic wanderer: Yes, he knew that wasn't likely.
Allegro Luna: "let's just make it quick, I do not like Enclosed areas very
much." She actually had to stand up in the secret passage instead of using
her wings and she wasn't very happy." I could try
Allegro Luna: flyingto the other side?"
Nobilis Arcanus: I could make it, ::he gave a single nod.::There might be a
way to disable the traps on the other side.
psionic wanderer: "Can you tell what the traps do? If it's just more arrows,
I don't see the problem, but if it's going to collapse the passage, that's
another story."
No True Form: ~She shook her head some~ I cant say exactly what each is, but
its not just arrows,..trip wires,..pressure plates and,...well more then that
even. (D)
Tesarik One: "I have an idea....." She was out by the statue, but with a
little concentration, she poofed and in her place was a small house spider.
She skittered around, and moved into the hall. (Skill: Skittering Sneak)
psionic wanderer: It was good he didn't feel keen on stomping on spiders!
He'd hate to stomp on one of his best friends. He grinned when he saw the
spider instead, then sat down, staying put on his pressure plate. He didn't
particularly trust himself
psionic wanderer: to not start setting traps off if he didn't immobilize
himself.
Tesarik One: (Does anyone have something like...Shroudsight, or True Seeing,
who is in the main hall?)
psionic wanderer: (Both! But...damn.)
psionic wanderer: (Not in the main hall haha)
Tesarik One: (If anyone begins to move down that passageway, please make it
very clear to me. As Nani said, it's trapped to all hell. Every step you
take, is another trap.)
Nobilis Arcanus: (Nope but have arcane sight and see invisible)
psionic wanderer: Well, he didn't think spiders could talk, but he'd
telepath to Halcy Spider. *Let me know when you make it to the end and tell
me what you see, I suppose I'll have a look around elsewhere.* And then back
into the main hall he went,
psionic wanderer: to have a better, cheating look around for anything he
missed. (True Seeing, duration: 50 minutes)
Nobilis Arcanus: :Seeing the druid go spider he remained where he stood then
looked toward Nani, a small smile given before winking.;;
Tesarik One: Hopefully, a little spider wouldn't cause any traps to set off
because if insects couldn't move down trapped areas in tombs...that would
defeat the purpose of the traps! She skittered on down, here and there, the
little spider's
psionic wanderer: He blinked, then tilted his head and moved over towards
whatever it was he saw, speaking..well let's say Rumerian, since it seemed to
make sense. "Hello there." Yep, talking to empty space. It wasn't exactly the
oddest thing he'd do
psionic wanderer: done.*
Tesarik One: eyes taking it all in. She heard Dorian in her mind, but didn't
quite reply back. The spider disappeared down the long hallway and was gone
for a short bit of time.
No True Form: ~She stood ut didn't move, she could take out one of the traps
for sure and possibly more she had some trap disabeling skills but did she
want to risk it further,..maybe Dorians idea was right maybe if she ran fast.
~she gnawed on
No True Form: her inner lip as she stood silently.~ (D)
Tesarik One: The ghost, once he realized he'd been spotted (not that he'd
been hiding, he'd just gotten used to people not being able to see or talk to
him) stopped his sweeping and leaned on the broom, grinning over to
Tesarik One: Dorian, "You can see me?" said in Rumeria.
Tesarik One: Rumerian*
Allegro Luna: She was hovering above the floor and considering flying ahead.
she was just listening and behaving herself.
psionic wanderer: "Clearly." He gestured with his hook to the broom. "That
looks like a thankless job, considering where we are."
Tesarik One: "Always dusty dusty dusty. All I ever do is clean. I'm so....so
tired of cleaning and watching this tomb." He sighed and motioned to the
others. "Guessing they can't see me. That passageway they are staring down...
you won't make it
Tesarik One: down there alive...."
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He studied the look on her face and knew it,;;might not
be anything over there worth getting shot up or killed over sia itov. *D
psionic wanderer: "Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've been caught
underground by some nasty traps. And we have a very small spider spying for
us, I bet she'll make it. What can you tell me about what's down there? I
might be able to see about
psionic wanderer: finding some relief from your duty in exchange for
information."
lurkerinshade: " ... Hm. " Now exactly what was that man chatting with..
seeing as it was a tomb there were limited possibilities.. none of which he
could set his eyes on. He dealt with fiends.. not ghosts.. a fact that turned
out to be enough to
No True Form: ~She looked to him then back~ then again might be something
worth it too. ~she shifted her weight a bit but didn't lunge in as of
yet,..she was still considering.~ (D)
Tesarik One: "Algellar's down there. Algellar, Algellar.... the reason I'm
here. Oh there's treasure down there too, but you will die before you even
reach the stairs down to the tomb."
psionic wanderer: "Do the traps get nastier than that first set of arrows?
It wasn't really that bad." He thought for a moment, then telepathed to
Halcyon again. *Be careful, apparently Algellar is down there.* Then to the
ghost once again. "What
Tesarik One: *Dorian! I found stairs at the end of the passage, and a door
at the end of the stairs down. I climbed under it, there's a big old coffin
in here and a little bit of jewelry, and some old coins.* Skitter skitter.
psionic wanderer: about the other door?"
lurkerinshade: restore his focus to those not talking to empty space. Well
they weren't doing anything useful either. " Lets have a look around, Sonne.
" And thus Maereth set back to searching the part of the tomb that wasn't
filled with an assort
lurkerinshade: ment of traps. Mayhaps there was yet a means to disable the
traps from this side.. ceiling bound switches or the like.. [ Search Check ]
OnlineHost: lurkerinshade rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Tesarik One: "Oh yes. Halfway through the passage you'll wind up in a vat of
acid. One of the triggers will cause the stones on either side to crush you.
If, by chance, you make it that far, the arrows get poisoned. And, even if
you make it to
lurkerinshade: [ really now Online host.. ]
Tesarik One: the end... the last strap fills the passage with stones."
Allegro Luna: she was beginning to become very quiet and focused on what
was ahead of them, Making the assumption that they are going to go To the
end." Awaiting commands."
Tesarik One: Maereth doesn't find anything else of note....except that door
they never went into!
psionic wanderer: "Nani, I advise not trying my idea of a sprint." He
switched from common seamlessly back to Rumerian and nodded. "Unpleasant, to
be sure. How might one go about disabling them? Any way at all, from either
side?"
No True Form: ~Hearing she turned her head then frowned.~ hmmm alright ~she
figured he wouldn't have said it if he hadnt some extra info looking to Rhyss
she grinned and gave a shrug.~ darn you almost were free of me. (D)
Tesarik One: The ghost began sweeping again, sighing and moaning a little.
Then he seemed to have an idea, and stopped and stared at him. "I will tell
you how to get through the passageway if you make me a promise to do
something for me."
psionic wanderer: "Well, I never promise to anything unless I know what it
is first. What would you like me to do?"
Nobilis Arcanus: Nah I would drag you back from the afterlife,:;he smirked
some while leaning against the door frame staring down the passage.::We arnt
moving just yet till we get a bit more information.
Tesarik One: "Destroy Algellar's body."
psionic wanderer: "Is that all? Agreed." Bodies were useless things anyway,
and the dead wouldn't miss them."
psionic wanderer: - that last " *
Allegro Luna: "I am fairly heavily armored and I can also fly. we can also
run past the last strap?"
psionic wanderer: "Just stay put for now, everyone, I think I've got us a
solution. *Halcy, you can go ahead and come back.*
lurkerinshade: " Imp, search now. " And of course the talkative imp would
follow the order.. not that there was much to look at in this part of the
tomb. Well except maybe a flight around the statue. Could be something there!
[ Search Check - via

Tesarik One: "Really? If you destroy his body, I will be free.... the tsar
was obsessed..... enamored even... of Algellar. He loved him, truly loved
him. Even made him a knight of the land, gave him a house and servants... and
even after his
Tesarik One: death, he bound my family to always serve Algellar. Until his
body's destroyed, I will never be free."
Tesarik One: Yep, imp found the same thing..... a door they hadn't explored!
No True Form: ~She turned her head then nodded,..only to realize it wasn't as
if he could see the nod~ staying put! ~she called back out to him~ (D)
psionic wanderer: "I see no problem with your request, sir...what was your
name, again?"
Tesarik One: She was already skittering back, running over Nani's shoe, then
under the tripwire and soon came back out of the passageway, and poof was all
Halcy-like again! She shivered.
Tesarik One: "Markian."
Allegro Luna: [disregard pist]
lurkerinshade: The imp also happened to become distracted.. helped that
there was a chat going on he could only notice one-side of! " Theres a door,
you can open doors, right boss? ..Whats he chatting with, eh? " -d
psionic wanderer: "Markian, then. I'll be happy to destroy his body to free
you. I said I'd find some relief from your duty, didn't I?" He smiled. "Now
that that's agreed, how about getting past those traps, hm?"
Tesarik One: Markian leaned forward, whispering to Dorian. Not that anyone
else could hear the old ghost. "One step inside the passageway, right before
the first tripwire. Turn your head to the left. Count six stones upwards.
Then two stones
Tesarik One: forward. Press it. It will disengage every trap."
psionic wanderer: "Excellent. One more question, if I may? What's behind
that other door?" Said with a point towards it.
Tesarik One: "It was where my family lived when we were alive. You see, we
were bound to serve the tomb. Our family, our children, their children, and
their children after. But, I wanted another life. I left the tomb, made my
way into the world.
Tesarik One: While I was gone, would be robbers came in and murdered my two
brothers, their wives ,and their children. I never knew.... until I died. I
was the last of the family... and I found myself here."
psionic wanderer: He frowned at that, and nodded once. "I see. Shall we
leave it be, or would you like something done with it after we're done with
your former master?"
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He removed a coin from a pocket and began idly flipping
it while waiting to learn what had been found out. A glance over his shoulder
before looking back down the passage.::
Tesarik One: "There is nothing of value in there. No robbers have ever
gotten past the passage... the tunnels beneath this tomb are filled with
bones from the traps. But, they could loot our living area, and they did."
psionic wanderer: He nodded. He'd take that as a leave it alone then!
Perhaps deal with any bodies left in there so give them proper burials! "Very
well. Thank you, Markian. My associates and I have work to do, now." That
done, he moved back to the
Tesarik One: (Listen Check everyone!)
psionic wanderer: secret passage, stopped right before the tripwire, and
followed the instructions of the ghost, counting the six stones up and two
forward, and then he gave it a good push with his hook. Unless he heard
something horrible first!

catch onto one of her antlers as she dropped to one knee and stared across at
the open door. "We aren't alone."
psionic wanderer: Well, given where that growling was coming from, yes. He'd
hit that block and give it a good push. If they needed to retreat it'd be
nice to not retreat into a bunch of traps!
Tesarik One: There was an odd sound of clicks and movements and stuff all
the way down the hallway as the traps were all disabled.

have checked to see if there was an ubber brick end all traps thing,..so

appeared to be very happy to have something to fight.
Tesarik One: A large feline face appeared in the doorway, and the massive
beast stepped inside. A dire lynx, it was huge, nearly as big as a horse!
And, as if that wasn't scary enough, a second came inside. A mated pair, that
had laired nearby.
Tesarik One: The female seemed more perturbed than the male, it was she that
entered first. Prowling on it's enormous paws, it's fur standing on end. The
claws were like daggers clicking on the stone floor.
Tesarik One: It sniffed and then with a mighty leap, went for Halcyon. If it
hit, it grabbed her by the shoulder, bit down crunching bone and sinew, and
shook her.

could almost crush her with one paw leaped forward, she rolled out of the way
and came to her hands and feet again. Two of them, the female aggressive, she
decided to

wishing to fight the animals.

hallway that was lit up, thankfully Dorian had shut down all the traps.

entire lifetime and never piece together why they made the decisions they
made. It was down the hall with him, though of course he was slow so it'd
take him a while.

Tesarik One: She could do something, and she did. She cast a spell, which
removed their scent from the areas. So, the animals would think they were
gone, they would not be able to smell any of them at all. (Negate Aroma -
Spell)
Tesarik One: Noted.
Tesarik One: As their scent completely faded, the lynx couple would sniff
around a little more, but eventually headed back out and to their lair nearby
where 3 baby lynxes were waiting for them.
Tesarik One: At the end of the passageway were stairs down. The torches
ended there. A door was at the bottom, it would be locked. But, no trapped.
No True Form: ~She stood halfway down that hall waiting for Rhyss,~
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He turned making his way to where Nani was and gave a bow
of his head,:: shall we continue sia itov? ::And with that he grinned heading
to the stairs making his way down them.::
No True Form: ~She gave a nod of her head and turned walking with him to the
end of the hall and to the door at the bottom of the stairs~ (D)
Tesarik One: She got to the door first it seemed, but while she did have a
little bit of practice checking for traps, she was not capable of
lockpicking. Nope, not one of her skills at all. So she stepped aside, after
giving a push to the door.
Tesarik One: "Locked."
Allegro Luna: "thank you for not killing them"
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He stepped to the side and smiled,:;well again your
talents are needed,::he took a lean back against a wall watching quietly.::
*D
psionic wanderer: He moved over to the wall near the door and had a lean
against it, lighting up one of the last torches in the passageway to continue
assisting his low-light vision.
No True Form: ~Hearing the locked she griamced.~ I dont know,..been a bit
off tonight but I will give it a try..heck if I cant do it maybe someone else
can ~she grinned moving to the door then crouching down tilting her head she
slid her hand
No True Form: into her cloak and removed the took kit she carried. Taking
out the propper bits she began working to pick the lock~
OnlineHost: No True Form rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
Tesarik One: ~*~ No True Form scored 0 poynts damage ~*~
No True Form: (+12 quick +5 lockpicking = 27)
lurkerinshade: " Now seems as good a time as any.. to ask.. exactly what
else that chat of yours with something we could not see taught you. What can
we expect in there.. " He was speaking to Dorian of course.. didn't know the
fellow's name.. and
Tesarik One: Success!
lurkerinshade: Maereth was no where near polite enough to ask for it. -d
No True Form: ~Hearing the click she stood and pushed the door open~ tada!
(D)
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He gave a smile as the door was pressed open and he
turned slipping through it. Figured he would be the best target if there was
something going to attack them.::
Tesarik One: Inside this large tomb sits a big sarcophagus, with a stone
lid. There are a few boxes here and there, with some jewelry and old coins,
and a couple chests with some various loot pieces. But of course, they are
after that diamoned
Tesarik One: diamond* studded armor right! The sarcophagus lid slides open
easily.... and it becomes very clear as soon as the lid is pushed aside, that
Algellar ....
Tesarik One: was a fucking horse.
psionic wanderer: "Hm?" He looked to the one that seemed to be addressing
him and blinked once, then shrugged. "We can expect Algellar's corpse, I'd
imagine. It is his tomb, after all." And then in he went since it was opened
up!
Allegro Luna: she was just standing guard.[ Telephone]
psionic wanderer: "..." Snort. "Well doesn't this just look like something
one of you lot would dream up. Enslave an entire family of people to guard
the tomb of a fucking horse."
Tesarik One: True to legend, Algellar was buried in his armor. Diamond
studded leather horse barding. Ha!
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He was moving to the sarcophagus and working the lid
aside before just blinking,:;this has to be a joke? ::He tilted his head some
then looked to Nani then Dorian.::Maybe he was fucking said horse?
Nobilis Arcanus: ::But he was glancing at the barding closer now though.::
Nobilis Arcanus: (Evaluate Item )
Tesarik One: Probably still worth a pretty large amount of gold! But,
definitely not what Maria had in mind!
OnlineHost: Nobilis Arcanus rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
Tesarik One: ~*~ Nobilis Arcanus scored 2 poynts damage ~*~
Nobilis Arcanus: (20 + 1 = 21)
No True Form: A horse? ~she blinked~ is this a joke? ~she looked around at
the others to see if someone was snickering and ready to say HAHA just
kidding,..ok no none of this group loooked much like jokers~ (D)
psionic wanderer: "No, no, I wouldn't go that far. You all just refused to
defend yourselves with violence against an animal, and yet I've seen some of
you gleefully attack people, who could very well have been defending their
territory. I think it's
psionic wanderer: that sort of thinking that leads to this." He was tickled
by it, at least. "Well, I promised to destroy the damned body, so get that
armor off of it."
Allegro Luna: "there was no need to kill them, it is as simple as that"
and now she was very happy that she had kicked him earlier.
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He smirked some,::yes but the woman who shares my bed
requested me not to kill an animal I figure its best to honor that request.
::He was removing the barding,:;not the best diamonds around.
lurkerinshade: " .... And they call the elvish races eccentric. " Maereth
shook his head over the sight of a horse given its own tomb. The imp on his
shoulder was eyeing the horse corpse a bit more. " Ha! I get it.. " But back
to the words and
psionic wanderer: "There's no need to kill probably ninety percent of the
things this adventuring company has killed. I fail to see why they were
special."
Tesarik One: She was scratching the back of her neck as she peered into the
tomb, this was an odd turn of events. She went poking around the other
treasures, letting them handle the big horse and it's barding.
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He then would tilt his head looking around, ::evnek
suiaerl,::casting again now to see if there was anything enchanted in here.::
Nobilis Arcanus: (Arcane Sight)
No True Form: ~She looked over to Dorian waving a hand in the air~ oh stop
playing devils advocate we all know you werent interested in killing those
animals anyhow. (D)
lurkerinshade: thoughts of the elf. " Hmph. Speak for yourself, not all of
us thought the same, its pointless to waste your own life when others are too
sentimental to be of aid. " -d
Nobilis Arcanus: ::Well he did see some auras in here as he adjusted the
barding over his shoulder watching silently.;:
psionic wanderer: "I'm merely pointing out the inconsistency in that
particular point of view. I'm rarely interested in killing at all, since you
bring it up." He focused, then started using his telekinesis to break apart
the horse's body at as tiny
Tesarik One: Maria could still sell the barding, and divide up the gold....
plus, there were loots around they could get! (I'm gonna use my new loot
generator to see what we come up with.)
psionic wanderer: a level as possible, essentially turning it into dust
eventually, unless he was interrupted somehow.
Nobilis Arcanus: I prefer killing humanoid enemies.
lurkerinshade: Anyroad.. the Szarkai at least set to looking about. Couldn't
be just a dead horse to be kicked.. a lot. Time to loot the place. -d
psionic wanderer: "And you don't think that makes you a
bit...er...psychotic?"
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He gave a slow blink,:and your point?
Tesarik One: (Ok. Everyone roll 1d75)
Nobilis Arcanus: They make better sounds when roasting,..of course animal
tastes better.
No True Form: Yes well inconsistency is what makes life entertaining. ~She
moved over to the boxes she had seen,..maybe something that sparkled,..like
gems,..she liked gems,..gems sparkled sparkle was good!~
OnlineHost: Nobilis Arcanus rolled 1 75-sided die: 69
Tesarik One: ~*~ Nobilis Arcanus scored 11 poynts damage
~*~//roll-dice1-sides75
psionic wanderer: "My point is that's not exactly a fucking compliment, or
anything to be proud of."
OnlineHost: No True Form rolled 1 75-sided die: 32
Tesarik One: ~*~ No True Form scored 4 poynts damage ~*~
OnlineHost: psionic wanderer rolled 1 75-sided die: 65
lurkerinshade: Maereth took a moment to clap in response to Dorian's
horse-dissecting via telekinesis. -d
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 75-sided die: 18
OnlineHost: lurkerinshade rolled 1 75-sided die: 55
psionic wanderer: Hopefully dusting the corpse would be sufficient to
release the spirit! If not, he could set the dust on fire.
Tesarik One: Freedom. Markia was freed as soon as the last bit of the
horse's corpse got destroyed. He would not be found anywhere in the tomb when
they left.
Tesarik One: Markian*
Nobilis Arcanus: I am who I am and quite talented at what I do so to me its
an artform. War isnt for the weak of heart or the compassionate, had they of
attacked further I would have destroyed them without looking back or a second
thought.
Allegro Luna: "no wonder,...." she went silent deciding not to be
mean-spirited tonight, after all she was a super nice person. She was happy
with her performance
Allegro Luna: regardless of what others say.
No True Form: you know I am a serious animal lover but,..really all those
traps for a horse,..? (D)
Tesarik One: 69. Tunic of the Night [Torso]
Nobilis Arcanus: He,..really loved his horse.
Tesarik One: This tunic is of the highest possible quality while still tough
enough to handle any amount of physical demands upon the wearer without
finding itself in ruin. A deep rich shade of blue this tunic
Tesarik One: was fashion to fit the owner and the owner alone. Thanks to a
large portion of treated darkweave material this shirt offers a +5 to
stealth.
Tesarik One: 32. Poacher's Blade [Weapon]
Tesarik One: A poacher's blade is a sickly yellow glowing longsword (1d6)
with a serrated blade. These weapons were initially developed by poachers to
aid in their cruel harvest of trophies, but many adventurers
Tesarik One: have found the qualities of the blade to be especially helpful
when exploring areas infested with creatures that have natural attacks.
Druids and other guardians of nature find poacher's blades to be
Tesarik One: sickening and overly cruel, but the swords themselves are not
intrinsically evil. A poacher's blade has the baneful (animals) ability
(extra 1d5 against animals).
Tesarik One: He really really loved his horse. Made the horse a Knight, and
gave him his own home.
psionic wanderer: (That is the most hilarious thing I've seen all night)
Tesarik One: (What is?)
Nobilis Arcanus: (LOL It really kinda is)
psionic wanderer: (Nani getting the poacher's blades)
Nobilis Arcanus: (Nani getting the blades)
Tesarik One: 65. Vest of the Bloodhound [Torso or Cloak]
Tesarik One: (Bloodhound Profession Only)
Tesarik One: This green-and-brown vest has pockets sewn along its length,
each with a tiny lodestone button. The wearer feels a surge of heroism when
she tracks down marked prey. She gains a +1 to strike and
Tesarik One: damage rolls made with weapons against one creature she has
successfully tracked within the previous 24 hours. If her one target is
considered a Mark, this bonus increases to +2. If her one target is
Tesarik One: also a member of her Favored Rival organization (using that
skill), she gains a bonus on critical hit rolls against the target, allowing
a critical hit on 19-20 Strike.
Tesarik One: 18. Nobleman's Dagger [Weapon]
Tesarik One: This is a beautiful, gem-studded dagger with an edge that never
needs sharpened. It has a slight curve to the blade and the hilt and sheath
are covered in precious gems. It gives a 1d4 ATK.
Tesarik One: 55. Doomharp [Magic Item]
Tesarik One: (Bard Profession)
Tesarik One: Made from bone and sun-dried sinew, this harp produces a vague
sense of unease in anyone near it. If the owner of this item has the
profession Bard, he can use it to perform a dirge of doom. A bard
Tesarik One: who plays this dirge of doom for their round of combat causes
all enemies in a radius of 60 feet to be fear-stricken if they fail their
Willpower Save of DC17.
Tesarik One: (Ok folks. You can trade them with each other if you want....
sell them.... offer them for sell to other players, or do whatever you want
with them)
lurkerinshade: [ anyone want to trade... heh. ]
psionic wanderer: (I've got a plan for mine)
No True Form: (yeah lol really nani gets poacher blades ~head slap~ )
Tesarik One: (lol)
lurkerinshade: [ Ah well .. got to find a bard to sell a harp to.. ]
Tesarik One: (I think one of the gypsies is a bard)
