Tesarik One: Put Jane in wrong place. Now it's fixed.
Tesarik One: There are places on Arith that remain untouched, for one reason
or another. One such place sits high atop a rocky cliff in Doxenia, in the
foothills of the Harpy Headlands (on the map, closest to
Tesarik One: Utterby). It appears as a crumbling conical pile atop a windy
escarpment. The populace of the small village below who make their living
from growing maize in the shadow of the hills claim that the fort is
Tesarik One: haunted and that none ever return from its dark walls. It has
been untenanted for over a hundred years; village legend states that it was
the keep of Count Henrik Argoz, a cruel and bloodthirsty
Tesarik One: individual.

Tesarik One: Ok so Nobility - Tally & Brendan, Dox Region - Gerry, Mythology
- Pherience. Miss anyone? Not counting the rolls that won't get any info.
SwordOfAtrophy: (Doxenia is.. in fact, a place)
Tesarik One: Ok info sent, based on your rolls. Tally, and Gerry are going
to know the most. Maria is interested in finding out more about this place,
especially if no one has been in that lived to come out in over a hundred
years. that could
Tesarik One: mean untouched treasure. So, you all step out of the portal
into the cold that is upper Doxenia, at the base of the cliff. You can see
the conical odd looking fortress at the top of the cliff wall.
Tesarik One: Begin RP!
The Lunar Beacon: "Heard plenty of tales of this Count Argoz growing up,
pretty much once a day. Even moreso as I spent my time in the temple
learning about things to not let creep into my life. If I recall right, he
broke the guest's sanctity,
Tales0fBeauty: (brb)
Tesarik One: "Count Henrik Argoz, what a tragic tale... I wonder if it is
true." She stepped out of the portal in human form tonight, looking quite the
stylish healer in a fancy white dress with a ruffled collar. Not at all
looking like she had
The Lunar Beacon: trapping and killing a guest in his home." He pulled his
cloak tight about his frame despite the stench it put off(Fizz cloak,
shapeshift granted by it), warding off the cold. "The Gods never shine upon
such deeds, he brought
autumn chrysalis: "Wah, chilly!" A blur of bronze and copper sparks as the
autumn faerie popped out of the portal and began to vibrate all over to keep
herself warm, blowing on her hands and flitting around to keep the blood
going. Sure she was fully
Tesarik One: a bit of armor on... (Emperor's Armor). She had her pack on her
back, and a soft smile upon her face as the cold wind caught up her white
curls and tossed it in disarray.
The Lunar Beacon: calamity upon his household, losing himself and them all
to plague over the course of a single evening." He made sure his words
reached all who had gathered, crossing himself as he spoke of it.
autumn chrysalis: clothed, and she had a SCARF, but that didn't account for
much when your wings were completely exposed, as was her face. She looked
around a bit, not stopping in one place too long, leaving no blade of grass
temporarily
SwordOfAtrophy: The young girl took the words in as she stood mutely,
looking up at the fortress. The wool cloak huddled around her form, covering
the steel armor, the large katana held in her hands. "So.. haunted then?"
autumn chrysalis: unturned. This was her first job, and Mariah wanted info
.. so she'd get info damnit!
Tesarik Five: A zip and zag and Warren was darting through legs, past feet,
and then up over heads as he made his way past the many people that were in
the area on his way to the portal. Once on the other side he skidded to a
stop and smiled wide
RageofNocturne: :: He walked along with the group his bracers on while his
armor appeared as a pair of torn pants, a longsleeve with a shoulder pad and
a thin layer over his chest near transparent and a kneepad. His sword and his
guns on his hips a
psionic wanderer: "Hm. I wonder if it's true that the gods actually punished
Argoz and his family." He didn't need to call him Count Argoz, what with
being lower ranked than him, ha! He moved in through the portal, all geared
up in his light amount
psionic wanderer: of stuff, as he usually was. "At any rate, at least we can
get some water in the village. Do not expect them to be friendly, or terribly
helpful otherwise, though."
autumn chrysalis: Ooooh story time. She'd stop poking at a fallen leaf and
listen.
The Lunar Beacon: He took note of all who had gathered, speaking softly in
Celestial as he uttered a prayer before they set off, blessing as many of the
group as he could(Mass Good Hope, 6 hp to 6 pcs, targets: Gerry, Tally, Phe,
Ferret, John, Warren
The Lunar Beacon: dc = 13 if any saves are required, lasts the adventure).
RageofNocturne: s he moved his black fur keeping him warm enough as he moved
along and sniffed the air-D-
Tesarik Five: while he inspected those that had come along. Oh! Ferret! And
she was then tackled from behind as she was flitting about all over the
place. Giving her a big friendly hug as he did so. "Hello fellow cake
hunter!"
Tesarik One: Give me a moment to add in extra hp.
autumn chrysalis: "Wah!" Knocked over a bit, she'd nevertheless return a
bone cracking hug once she realised it was Warren, grinning from ear to
pointed ear. "Oh! Warren-friend!" ... maybe there were cakes in the keep? One
could live in

palce they were going to "He angered the gods and his entire household was
sturck down by a plauge in a single night, his hounds feasted on their
bodies, so im guessing the
autumn chrysalis: glancing at the rest of the party briefly she moved back
from Warren and unsheathed her sword, giving it a swing. "I have a new sword!
A bigperson who cuts open frogs for a living made it isn't it PRETTY." It was
bronze, and shiny:
autumn chrysalis: therefore, the BEST.
SwordOfAtrophy: Unfriendly people were nothing new to her, one of the
reasons she barely spoke to strangers. She inhaled slowly, her eyes closing
briefly, focusing on the task of staying alive while exploring. (CM:
Figher's Will, +6 HP)
The Lunar Beacon: He gave a nod to those gathered, his guard on extra alert
as it seemed there were plenty of faces fresh to these terrains, glad to have
fellow Doxenians along for the trip to his homelands. A smile extended to
Tally and Gerry, with
Tesarik One: (Does anyone have an issue with me using purple for DM? Easier
than having to switch colors for Tally)
psionic wanderer: (Not me.)
autumn chrysalis: (( no objections here! ))
The Lunar Beacon: a bow of his head given to them as well, the bow to Gerry
a bit deeper than Tally.(No problems here at all, easier for you means less
stress)
Tales0fBeauty: place could be cursed if that is ture you should never piss
off the gods!" then she saw warren and another fae! and giggled as she zipped
over to the and waved her hands spastically "hi hi hi hi!"
Tesarik One: Roll a Spot please.

psionic wanderer: "We'll have to make sure we don't run afoul of any
leftover plague." Thougg sadly he hadn't brought his hazmat suit. He did have
gloves, however, so he pulled them on, returning the bow from Brendan with a
nod and a smile.
psionic wanderer: Though*
Tesarik Five: He smiled right back to Ferret with a beaming smile, flying
back just a bit as she pulled out her sword to show it off. Grinning his eyes
so caught up in the shiny of the sword that he almost didn't notice Phae
coming up on them too
OnlineHost: Mighty Gar thog rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
Mighty Gar thog: (11)
Tesarik One: It didn't take very much perceptive skills for them to figure
out how they were going to get up there. 13+ notice that there are stairs
going up to the odd fort at the top. Not just any old stairs though, these
high stairs are
Mighty Gar thog: ~The dwarf was in that great demon armour. It might scare
some, but did little else. He went through, and listened, then, fingers went
to his forehead~ I see... I see... a dark, sticky, gooey floow within...
Mighty Gar thog: *floor
The Lunar Beacon: "I can remove any disease that might be lingering in the
place, should Leaxo grant me sufficient strength to do such, if it's
required. But aye, best to be careful about things you touch, where you
step."
Tesarik Five: "It is pretty! He cuts open frogs?" Odd. Hmm. What did the
frogs do to be opened up like that? But then there was another similar voice
and waving hands next to him so he turned to see Phae and he beamed her a
smile, returning that
autumn chrysalis: "I didn't touch anything!" She'd look panicked for a
minute, sheathing her sword seconds before another faerie came in, Ferret
hopping back a step or two so she didn't get flattened. "HI!"
Tesarik One: hacked and hewn out of the craggy cliff face and have worn away
over the hundred + years. It is extremely steep, and only wide enough for one
person to walk. There are some hand holds also carved into the stone at a few
intervals.
Tesarik Five: wild bit of waving right back to her. "Ohohoh! Hello other
bestest friend!" All farries were his bestest friends.
Tesarik One: The wind is buffeting the cliffside with dangerous gusts even
as you look upwards.
Tesarik One: www.ssqq.com/archive/images/huashan%20stairway.jpg
(Keyword to: www.ssqq.com/archive/images/huashan%20stairway.jpg)
Tesarik One: Similar to this... yet without the rope railing, and much more
worn down.
Tales0fBeauty: She would giggle at the fae she hadnt met yet "did i hear
something about cake?! she woudl then giggel to warren "hello bestest
friend!" she was almost so distracted being around other fae she didnt tell
the others about the steps
Tales0fBeauty: she saw and then she would look at them, she was a fae she
could fly up. "ooh those stairs look creepy!"
The Lunar Beacon: "I despise climbing." Muttered softly under his breath as
they approached the stairs, especially glad he had his cloak with him. If he
fell, he could transform into something more suited for getting past this
obstacle, but he'd
RageofNocturne: :: He would see the stirs and the handholds then looked over
the others and the faries with them and then would use his cloak of the ursa
to turn into a black raven and would flap his wings and begin to fly around
them-D-
autumn chrysalis: She eyed the bird suspiciously.
The Lunar Beacon: put himself at the foreground, wanting to be the first up
top should anything nasty be awaiting them once there. Well, the first for
those plagued with walking, anyway.
SwordOfAtrophy: "Would you like me to attempt it first..?" She was a decent
enough climber.. most days.
Tesarik One: So, you will need to decide in what order you are going up the
stairs and be very clear so I can mark it down. I realize the faeries can fly
up, but there will still be checks for them too from the wind.
Tales0fBeauty: She would eye the bird suspiciously too!
Tesarik One: You can all go up at one time, but it's only wide enough for
one person, not sure if I made that clear.
Tales0fBeauty: (what about tiny sized fae!?)
autumn chrysalis: (( flying with checks from wind ))
Tesarik One: If you are flying, the steps don't matter.
Tesarik One: Choose your order so we can get this climbing bit done.
psionic wanderer: He'd certainly go second after Brendan, what with this
being his homeland and all! He saw no reason not to take some of the lead.
Tales0fBeauty: She would just fly on up there she was a most curious fae
after all and she was fearless one at that!
Tesarik One: I will do the fae checks at the end.
autumn chrysalis: Ferret waited for the bird to go: she was wary of birds,
they either tried to steal her shinies or they pecked her, thinking she was a
dragonfly.
Tesarik Five: There was a small tilt of his head toward the bird that went
flying about them. Hmm. That made him start to think about his own bird
friend that was still at home. Then Phae started off up the stairs, or the
path anyway. And Warren
OnlineHost: The Lunar Beacon has left the room.
OnlineHost: The Lunar Beacon has entered the room.
OnlineHost: The Lunar Beacon has left the room.
Tesarik One: She was in a dress, she was most certainly going to go up last.
She motioned to Jane, and Krag to go before her.
OnlineHost: The Lunar Beacon has entered the room.
SwordOfAtrophy: (Brendan, Gerry, Jane, Krag, Tally acceptable, just to get
moving?_
Mighty Gar thog: ~He looked at her~ I'd be best last. I'm strong enough to
catch any who slip and fall backwards.
RageofNocturne: :: And he would continue to fly around them before he went
to fly up the way-D-
Tesarik Five: went off after her.
SwordOfAtrophy: "She doesn't want you looking up her dress."
psionic wanderer: "I doubt Tally is going to have any trouble." He did move
over to her and whisper!
Tesarik One: She was going up last, regardless of what Krag said. Even if
she had to wait till they were all in.
Mighty Gar thog: Oh. ~he chuckled at that idea, shrugged and went in front
of her then~
Tesarik One: She smiled to Gerry, and gave him a pat on the shoulder, "You
go on up, I will come up behind. If I need to shift on the way up I will."
autumn chrysalis: Once the avian all clear was made, Ferret flicked her
wings and up she went, keeping just above peoples heads .. she suspected that
zooming ahead of everyone would be a Bad Idea.
psionic wanderer: "Alright." He smiled, then moved over and waited til
Brendan got started.
Tesarik One: Brendan - Roll first an Athletics Check.
The Lunar Beacon: Well, wasting no time, he began his ascent, nodding to
himself as he looked for proper footing and sent a prayer to Leaxo.
OnlineHost: The Lunar Beacon rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
The Lunar Beacon: (Doom!)
Tales0fBeauty: She was a paladin fae she had some good amour so she wasnt
too worried! but once she was at the top she waited there for the others.
Tesarik One: You slip on the first step, try again.
The Lunar Beacon: "Steps are a mite slippery, keep watch of them." He
muttered something incoherent as he attempted to get moving once more.
OnlineHost: The Lunar Beacon rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Tesarik One: Athletics is STR based, unless you have Agile Athlete.
The Lunar Beacon: (Assuming str, that's an 8)
Tesarik One: You can also add in the skill "Athletics".
Tesarik One: Roll an Endurance, Brendan.
OnlineHost: The Lunar Beacon rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
The Lunar Beacon: (My dice hate me)
Mighty Gar thog: 9wow...)
Tesarik One: You have a terrible time making the climb. It is taxing on your
muscles, and your endurance level from the constant buffeting of the cold
wind along with just being out of breath takes a lot out of you. You lose a
turn the first
Tesarik One: round of combat.
Tesarik One: Gerry, make your Athletics.
psionic wanderer: And well..hopefully watching Brendan gave him some
pointers. Up he tried to go!
OnlineHost: psionic wanderer rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
psionic wanderer: (+5 athletics = 14)
Tesarik One: It is tiring, but you make it up with a normal amount of strain
per your race.
Tesarik One: Jane, roll your Athletics.
OnlineHost: SwordOfAtrophy rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
SwordOfAtrophy: 5 Athletics = 22
Tesarik One: You have little issue making your way up, even in the face of
the winds trying to pull you off the wall.
Tesarik One: Krag roll your Athletics.
The Lunar Beacon: Well, it would seem his armor was hindering him. That was
the excuse he was going to go with. He panted, a bit winded, but would bely
nothing to those around him. He just tried his best to shake it off.
Mighty Gar thog: ~The dwarf, being smaller than most dwarves, and in heavily
weighted armour, tried to simply plod on up the stairs, ready to catch any
who slipped, or were blown downwards~
OnlineHost: Mighty Gar thog rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
Mighty Gar thog: (26)
psionic wanderer: He grimaced when he got on up to the top and rolled his
shoulders a bit. "Shame I couldnt' acrobat my way up." He crouched down at
the top to help anyone else up if they got close and needed it.
Tesarik One: You easily make your way to the top, with very little strain.
Tesarik One: Tally-
Tesarik One: She tucked her dress in her belt a bit to give her room to
walk, and the healer began to move upwards along the path. Hopefully, being
snow leopard would prove useful in this regard.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
Tesarik One: (Agile Athlete so 8 QCK = 23
Mighty Gar thog: ~Once up, he looked bac, ready to grab the woman if she
slipped~
Tesarik One: She makes it up without much effort, despite the cold wind
tugging at her.
Tesarik One: Ok, Ferret, Pher, Warren and John you all make Athletics Checks
against the pull of the wind, please.
SwordOfAtrophy: Jane looked at Tally, a sly smile creeping on her normally
expressionless lips. Then she turned to Gerry and Brendan. "Cardio, sirs. It
will save your life."
RageofNocturne: :: He would continue to flap those wings to carry himself up
the way-D-
OnlineHost: RageofNocturne rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
Tesarik One: John makes it with little strain.
autumn chrysalis: Steeling herself against the wind, she'd flap her little
wings with all her might!
OnlineHost: autumn chrysalis rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
Tesarik One: As does Ferret.
autumn chrysalis: Yup; lifetime fae, experienced.
RageofNocturne: +7=24)
The Lunar Beacon: (I took all the bad rolls, be happy!)
Tesarik One: Pher, Warren make your rolls please.
Tesarik Five: Well Warren was darting around, the cold air feeling good to
him, what with being a Frost Fairy as it were.
psionic wanderer: "Were this running and not climbing, I'd agree with that.
I'm built for speed, not hauling myself up cliffs." He grinned, then patted
himself down a bit to make sure he hadn't dropped anything whilst climbing.
Mighty Gar thog: ~He then turned, seeing she was safe, and had easily
climbed up the last few feet, turned to loo at their surroundings now~
OnlineHost: Tesarik Five rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
Tesarik One: Easily climbed the last few feet? No, she'd easily climbed the
whole thing!
Tesarik Five: (+5 = 16)
Mighty Gar thog: ~He only saw the last few feet, being in front of her~
Tesarik One: Warren, you are exhausted fighting against the wind, but you
make it.
psionic wanderer: He had said she probably wouldnt' have any trouble! He had
a look around since they were up now. Most of them anyway.
OnlineHost: Tales0fBeauty rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
Tesarik One: Pher makes it without much strain.
Mighty Gar thog: ~Thought he heardazip sound as Phe went between the winds~
The Lunar Beacon: He just wrapped his cloak a bit tighter around himself,
more than a bit miserable at this altitude. "Probably should have stretched.
But this is why I don't climb often. Bah . . . Avilon Islands this is not!"
He tried to sound
Tales0fBeauty: She would feel the wind but she was a strong fae and she was
pretty good at flying in it! so she pressed on!
Tesarik One: As you all climb the very tall, steep stairs you find further
up there are rusty chains bolted to the steps and stretches to the doors, but
even putting one hand on that is goign to tell you that it would fall under
your weight. The
The Lunar Beacon: more cheerful than he felt, but it was not a fun climb at
all.
Tesarik Five: Well, the way up wasn't cold to him, but it was a bit
windy...His butterfly style wings catching to much of it as he went up and
once at the top he found the first big person shoulder to plop himself down
on. Huffing and puffing a
Tesarik Five: little while he caught his breath. "Lots of windy wind."
psionic wanderer: "Yes, climbing with armor is..not the wisest idea." He
gave Brendan a clap on the shoulder. "At least you didn't fall to your doom
though, yes?"
Tesarik One: doors are slotted deeply into the cliff walls and carved out of
bare rock; windows in the rock were probably arrow slits for defense, but if
you all peer into them now, you only see a partially collapsed chamber filled
with rubble
Tesarik One: and broken wood. The doors are closed.
The Lunar Beacon: He gave a genuine laugh as he heard Gerry, nodding and
returning the clap. "Aye, there are some positives to surviving such a
climb. I'd best start including such things into my daily routines. Good
thing Cherith's not here,
psionic wanderer: Well he'd certainly be trying to have a peek in through an
arrow slit, rather than just opening the door. Didn't look like much in
there, but that certainly didn't mean it wasn't dangerous. In fact, being
partially collapsed might
psionic wanderer: well make it MORE dangerous.
The Lunar Beacon: she'd tease me endlessly." That did it, his smile was
back in place, nodding firmly then as he examined the next obstacle before
them.
Tesarik Five: (Sorry. +9, due to Mountian terran and his Favored Terran. So
it's a total of 20)
Tesarik One: She clung to the steps, being at the bottom, waiting for them
all to pull to the top before she too climbed up. She was breathing a wee bit
more than usual, after all it still was a difficult climb even if she did it
well. She
RageofNocturne: :: After flying up he would fly low and shift into his
domestic tibetan mastiff form and shook his fur out then walked along and
looked over the fortress-D-
Tesarik One: put her skirts back down falling to her ankles, and brushed her
gloved hands together to clean them of the rocky debris. Then waited for the
doors to be opened.
Tales0fBeauty: She would see john turn into a dog and she would go and
landed on him and nuzzled into his soft fur "Hi hi!" she gave everyone else a
wave as they made it up too.
RageofNocturne: :: He looked to Phe if he could see where she went in his
long black fur-- Ahh Phe good to see you.-C-
RageofNocturne: -D-*
Tesarik One: Since Gerry and Brendan are closest, being first up, one of
them would be the most logical to open the doors.
Tales0fBeauty: She was near his head and scratched behind his right ear with
both hands "how is my favorite wolfy?!"
SwordOfAtrophy: She looked the door over, not seeing much as an obstacle
that would prove difficult. She would stride in herself, but Brendan seemed
like he wanted to be the first into the Lions Den, so she would avoid
fighting him on the matter.
The Lunar Beacon: He shook off his misgivings of the climb and started
making his way to the doors, careful of his footing as he approached. He
tested the handle to see if it was locked in any fashion, and if not gave a
push or a pull, whichever way
The Lunar Beacon: it opened.
psionic wanderer: He assumed Brendan would be doing it! "Looks clear in
there, if you'd like to take point, sir Pearce. As far as I can see through
this arrow slit, which is of course less than useful." He moved over towards
the door then, left hand
psionic wanderer: resting on the hilt of his rapier as Brendan tended to the
door.
Tesarik One: Push. It was not locked.
Tesarik One: The doors swing open with a rusty squeal. It has been quite
some time since anybody entered here- a layer of dust, blown in over time
from the arrow slits, lies spread thickly across the pavement. The
Tesarik One: heroes stand in a tall central room. They can just make out the
brick walls of the conical structure in which they stand in the gloom; a
shaft of golden sunlight spears down through the center of the
Tesarik One: room through a window high above and behind their heads. As
their eyes adjust to the dimness, they recognize the pale shapes of scattered
bones spread in patches across the floor.
The Lunar Beacon: He nodded then as it opened a bit more easily than he was
anticipating. He moved in to be sure there was plenty of room for those
moving behind him, taking in what could be seen without disturbing anything.
SwordOfAtrophy: Careful steps guided her inside amidst the group, trying to
avoid stepping on any bones. Her pale green eyes surveyed the room, surely
there must be a door, or stairs somewhere.
autumn chrysalis: "ooooooooooo." She flitted from side to side, eyes wide as
teacups as she drank in the room they had all arrived in. Notably, she had
her hands firmly - FIRMLY - clasped behind her back. Not touching. Not,
touching anything!
Mighty Gar thog: I advise not touching the plague bones ~looing at the
fliers~
Tesarik One: She moved into the area, using her darksight to peer around,
though there did seem to be a shaft of light. She moved up to Gerry and
slipped something into his hand, with a soft whisper to him, and then
proceeded to look around the
Tesarik One: area.
RageofNocturne: :: I am well. Been keeping busy. --he said as he walked
along and inside with the others and looked around the place and began to
sniff around-D-
Tales0fBeauty: She would see the beam of light as they got into the room and
she would zip over there and opened up her butterfly shaped irrodecent
blueish purplish and pinkish colored wings and she would smile as she felt
the sun warm them. Then
Tesarik Five: Once the doors were opened he went right on in. Doing a little
spin right in the middle of the room, just above everyones head, he inspected
the walls and higher up, just looking about as it were. The dim light not a
bother to him
Tales0fBeauty: she would zip back over to john and landed back on his head
she was trying to be a good fae and not touch anyting either!
psionic wanderer: Dressed for the cold, certainly he had a scarf! He tugged
it up over his mouth and nose to add at least a weak layer of protection
against airborne disease. He tilted his head when he got something put in his
hand and smiled behind
autumn chrysalis: She was already not touching anything: but it should be
more a general warning than a flying above the ground without nose to the
ground warning!
Tesarik One: (brb real quick)
psionic wanderer: his scarf, then nodded. "Thank you." He activated the Rod
of Hidden Light since..may as well if nobody else could see it anyway. He'd
be able to look around much more easily now, as he stepped in. (brb myself)
Tesarik Five: as it were. Bones? What bones? Then down at the floor he
looked and he blinked a few times. "Oh bones!" And down he went to dart a
little closer to them just to look at them close like. But still at knee
level for most of the people
The Lunar Beacon: Fishing in his pack, he produced a sun rod. He didn't
activate it just yet, but he was prepared to do so if it became necessary,
which seemingly it wouldn't be as Gerry produced something quite a bit more
useful, stowing it back in
The Lunar Beacon: his pack.
Tesarik Five: so to far away to touch. "Yup. Their bones." Nodnodnod.
Tales0fBeauty: She would giggle at warren "Of course they are the dogs ate
all them after they died!"
Mighty Gar thog: (afk)
Tales0fBeauty: at least that was her assumed reason for the bones being
there!
Tales0fBeauty: "might be plaguey bones! be careful!"
Tesarik One: As they peered around, looking at the bones, basking in the
sunlight of the shaft.... they suddenly had a sense they were not alone.
Those with darksight would see them first....as they shuffled into the
darkness from just beyond
Tesarik One: the edge of visible. Two gigantic guard-hounds, Vikush and
Voralgu, who have become huge, immortal, and terribly ravenous from feeding
on the cursed flesh of the Count's stricken family. Their bristling, silvery
fur is crusted with
Tesarik One: filthy black and brown from the seeping blood of numerous
infected sores, and their enormous drooping-lipped jaws peel back in demonic
snarls to reveal shattered and bleeding teeth and diseased gums. These
creatures have lurked here
Tesarik One: for over a hundred years, gorging their cursed hunger on the
foolish ones who trespassed into this unholy fort, and a century of undying
fear and rage has stripped them of any previous allegiance they might have
held to mankind.
Tesarik One: Everyone please roll a Willpower.

those were the dogs she was talking about! she would normally go hug and
nuzzle a dog but not those
Tales0fBeauty: she could sense the unholy and cursed presense, so she would
try to avoid them for now!
The Lunar Beacon: His aura flickered between shades of a pure, white
radiance and a deep golden hue as the dogs appeared, shaking off whatever
they were attempting to subdue him with, readying his shield should they
decide to lunge. "Mind their
Tesarik One: Talasyn, Jane, Warren, Ferret, Pherience are all Fear Stricken.

Tesarik One: I need Gerry's.

psionic wanderer: (Sorry back. It's against fear?)
Tesarik One: Ok, you are still fearful but you can handle your fear. So no
minus.
The Lunar Beacon: wounds, avoid getting their blood on you as much as you
are able." He didn't raise his voice beyond a normal tone, not wanting to
inspire the dogs to action before the group was ready.
Tesarik One: Yes.
Tales0fBeauty: She would feel the fear try to wash over her but she was a
fearless fae! and she would stare at them with that fearless gaze! she had a
health fear of them!
psionic wanderer: Well when big ol' hounds or whatever showed up, he drew
his rapier! Thankfully, it was enchanted well. (Courageous enchat, can pass a
save vs. fear 1/combat)
psionic wanderer: (enchant)
Mighty Gar thog: ~The dwarf was pulling out his Samsa, preparing to play a
tune, thinking up one as he looked at the doggies of death~
Tesarik Five: He gave a little shiver and blink at the dogs. They looked
mean!
Tesarik One: Noted. They are some incredibly scary looking massive dogs,
effecting some more than others. Vikush springs forward as they both come
into view, heading for Brendan with it's terrible teeth to tear into him.
SwordOfAtrophy: Jane held the katana, sheathed still, but at the ready. The
fear took hold, but she tried to shake it off, mentally reminding her mun to
take Fearless next rank up. Avoid their blood? Not an easy task with her
weapon, but she'd try
SwordOfAtrophy: her best.
Tesarik One: (One sec, what was the devout bonus you used Rage? Cause this
is not a spell. It's just them being so damn scary)
Tesarik One: (I think that devout bonus is for spell saves)
Tesarik One: So, John is Fear Stricken as well. So -2 to ALL rolls.

reflects, but she sheathed it anyway, stepping nimbly away from the puddles
of goo.
Tesarik One: There are several small staircases that exit the entrance hall,
four to be exact. Three of them lead to deserted dusty servant's quarters,
barracks, and a kitchen and all you can find in them is rust eaten pieces of
iron, and the
Tesarik One: scattered bones of the Count's stricken retinue and vassals.
One staircase leads into what looks to be a throne chamber.
psionic wanderer: He moved over to Tally to make sure she was alright,
though she hadn't seen one of the critters go after her anyway, so it seemed
she was! Well then. Lots of stairs to check out.
The Lunar Beacon: He stepped carefully around the piles of goo. He wasn't
worried about them necessarily, but why carry filth and disease with you if
it coule be avoided? He kept a careful watch of their surroundings as they
progressed, none too
Tesarik One: It's various colors, mostly pussy yellowish green and grey.

were, but sense they were all nasty and ooey, well nope! Huffing a little
though .................And color choices?
Mighty Gar thog: Remember... a darker, sticky goo lies ahead.
Tesarik One: She'd been kinda hiding out, thankfully making no sound or
drawing attention to herself. She sighed with relief and looked over Gerry to
make sure he was ok. Then she headed for the stairs, checking out the various
places that held
SwordOfAtrophy: (lol, I assume that's suppose to be a form of 'puss')
The Lunar Beacon: concerned with the piles of refuse and rot that time had
withered in its grasp. Over each set of bones they encountered he offered up
a quiet prayer to Leaxo, hoping that the vassals and house members didn't
fully share in the
The Lunar Beacon: folly that befell them.
Tales0fBeauty: She would put her bow away and she would watch him die to her
arrow and she would give a firm nod. then she saw the goo "eww that is
nasty!" she would see the different stair cases and she would look to them
curiously "ooh which
Tesarik One: nothing of interest.

sticky goo is going to be terribly helpful without more information." Said as
he was checking out staircases and their nothing of interest with Tally.

gingerly put it away whilst wishing she had the foresight to bring rags for
cleaning, before flexing her wings and flitting off after the rest of the
party. Though she was
The Lunar Beacon: As they neared the throne chamber he went into higher
alert. If the dogs had survived over the course of a century, there was no
telling what awaited them further in. He crossed the threshold as quietly as
he could, bedecked in
Tesarik One: So after checking out the other rooms, you all head into the
Throne Chamber. A moth-eaten rug is on the floor and dusty tapestries hang
from the walls, depicting the victories of the Count and his army. Behind the
throne is a heavy
autumn chrysalis: incredibly curious as to what treasures might be hidden
somewhere .. those dogs had her pretty freaked. Didn't have those back home!
Tesarik One: bronze door with an intricate mechanical lock on it.... but
that is not all.
Tesarik One: In this room lie the gruesome remains of the Count's tragic
family, who died from the horrible disease inflicted by Henrik's curse and
whose bodies were fed upon by the devilish hounds- three
Tesarik One: age-blackened and dog-savaged mummified bodies in the faded
tatters of ancient gowns, their limbs and faces unnaturally twisted in
disturbing ways by rigor mortis. The corpses of the cursed count's two
Tesarik One: daughters lie in each others' arms at the foot of the throne,
their legs separated from their bodies and their stomachs ruptured by the
corpse-eating hounds. Their shriveled eyes are small black pits and
Tesarik One: their teeth shine very whitely. Across the room, the body of
the lady Countess Rashel lies on her back, surrounded by a black coating of
some flaky black substance, actually the rotten material that the
Tesarik One: countess wretched up before she died. Her body, too, was
savaged and eaten of by the dogs, her face is twisted in a horrible shriek.
autumn chrysalis: Ferret blanches, and flits off to a corner to be quietly
sick.
The Lunar Beacon: armor as he was. He'd still yet to draw a weapon beyond
his shield, his steps leading him to the throne as he spotted the door,
though he was slow in his approach which came to a halt as he saw the
mummified remains.
Mighty Gar thog: ~Was wondering who might have entered and fallen to the
dogs, with what stuff. Maybe something collected it~
Tesarik One: Poor sweet Talasyn does not fare much better as she walks in
and sees the tragic, and horrific site. She too finds a corner to lift up
her white gauzy net and be sick, shaking a bit at the horror of it all.
Tales0fBeauty: She would follow the others to the throne room and she would
gasp in horror at the scene not something paladin faes liked to see! "poor
people!!"
Tesarik Five: He'd went about checking out the rooms, finding nothing, only
to follow the group to that throne room of sorts. Looking about now he then
blinked as he saw the twisted, disfigured, and nasty looking bodies.
Blinkblinkblinkblink. Eww
RageofNocturne: :: He looked around the room and at the corpses and shook
his head and growled-- They were dogs who grew hungry. It is unfortunate that
the only food for them was the bodies of their former owners.-D-
The Lunar Beacon: "To think . . . all this came about simply because one man
was foolish enough to betray the guest rights. Let this be a lesson to us
all. Some things are sacred, no matter what we think of them." He'd nod
sagely at his own words,
Mighty Gar thog: Exactly. ~replied to John~
The Lunar Beacon: choosing a path to the door that would take him along a
course so as not to disturb further the already disturbed dead.
SwordOfAtrophy: Jane took in the sight, her expression not changing. Horror
was horror no matter whether it was death, abuse or torment. And she'd been
through enough of it where it didn't affect her on the surface. "Sacred is a
subjective term."
Tesarik Five: that was not very good looking. No cake for him tonight!
Well, who was he kidding. Cake every day! But still he kept himself back near
the door so not to be to close to the bodies while he shivered in a mixture
of lingering fear
Tesarik Five: and seeing the nastyness.
Tesarik One: She took out a handkerchief and wiped her her mouth, and rose
up from one knee again. Tears glimmered upon her eyelashes as she looked
around, and she moved to the two daughters and stared down at them. "I do
hope at least their
Tesarik One: spirits found release."
autumn chrysalis: Wiping her mouth with her sleeve, she looked about ready
to heave again but her run out of tummy contents. Fortunately, fae puke is
very small and probably full of glitter and rainbows so .. small mercies.
Tesarik One: The door has quite a mechanism on it, especially for a hundred
years ago. No doubt constructed by a mage learned in mechanical arts. It is a
combination lock, and in order to open the door, four ivory wheels each
marked with a
Mighty Gar thog: Brandon? Do me a small favour. Pray over their bodies, will
you?
Tesarik Five: And knowing Ferret, probably plenty of half chewed chunks of
cake......
The Lunar Beacon: He turned, hearing Jane, though he shook his head. "I'll
not argue semantics in this place. The sooner we are done here, the better,
at any rate. Anyone good with locks?" He'd gotten close enough to the door
to see it was
psionic wanderer: He frowned when he saw what was about, it certainly was
not pleasant in the slightest. He watched Tally move over to a corner, and
moved along with her so she could get her some comfort when she was done bein
sick. He shook his head
Tesarik One: number symbol (in Doxenian) that must be rotated for form the
correct code. But, what is the correct code??
psionic wanderer: when it was asked if any were good with locks, though he
could read the numbers at least!
autumn chrysalis: "Umm .. I can hit them?" She balled up a fist and gave a
few experimental swings. Other than busting the hell out of it, she wasn't
good with locks .. though normally there were some locks she just didn't have
to do anything but fly
autumn chrysalis: through! This one probably wasn't one of them though.
The Lunar Beacon: beyond his ability to mess with, looking to the one that
mis-spoke his name. "Brendan . . . Ser Brendan Pearce, if it helps you
remember. As for prayers, they've already been given."
Tesarik One: Please roll either a SPOT or an INSIGHT.
The Lunar Beacon: (Insight)
SwordOfAtrophy: Jane exhaled. "That wasn't what I meant, Sir."
Tales0fBeauty: She would nod to tally "I hope so too!" she would spot the
silver door behind the throne though "ooh a door!" she could try her hand
with locks but she would see what others could do first cause she wasnt a
rogue!

the door will note that it is quite decorative in the bronze. A relic really,
worked with various symbols. Those who got a SPOT 18+ will notice that
psionic wanderer: (10 insight)
Tesarik One: the symbols are more like pictorials; there is a warrior
pierced with arrows, a leader with one eye, a child, and a skeletal near
dying older man.
Tesarik One: INSIGHT 15+ ...IM me if you got 15+ Insight.
The Lunar Beacon: Well, maybe the design was not so far out of his element.
He puzzled it over a bit, grinning as he noticed a pattern in the symbols.
"The cycles of a man's life . . . from birth to death."
Tesarik One: She stared at the door, and the symbols, but wasn't close
enough to really make out much more than the Doxenian numbers on the ivory
wheels, which Gerry had also seen. She folded her hands behind her back and
stared back down at the
Tesarik One: two daughters while they worked.
Mighty Gar thog: ~he blinked, nodding to Brendan~ I'm a bit confused on it
though.
The Lunar Beacon: He looked over the positions of the symbols, offering up a
quick prayer of guidance as he leaned closer to examine them. He took a
chance and checked to see if he could arrange the first symbol into the
position of the child.
Tesarik Five: Squinting his eyes, just for effect really, he looked to the
lock and then flew a bit closer to it as he pointed. "Whats these things?"
Well he didn't know Doxenian, so it was all jibber jabber to him. But they
looked important
Tesarik Five: enough.
SwordOfAtrophy: Jane was also looking at the girls, which showed in her
horrible fail roll about the door. They reminded her of herself, and that was
an eerie feeling.
psionic wanderer: He certainly wasn't going to be much help here, puzzles
and locks were not what he was good at! He looked over to Tally again and
gave her a squeeze around the waist with one arm. "Is there anything you
think we ought to do with
psionic wanderer: them?"
psionic wanderer: He looked back to Warren when he was asking away about
things, then looked where he was pointing. "What, the numbers? One through
four."
Tesarik Five: "Match up the funny symbols!" Blurted out, as he'd seen the
same Dozenian numbers (Not that he knew thats what they were) on the pictures
as he did the wheels.
The Lunar Beacon: (Meaning first as in wherever the number 1 was)
Tesarik One: Let me tell you the symbols again. a warrior pierced with
arrows has the 1 on it, the one eyed leader has a 4, the child has 3, and the
elder has 2
The Lunar Beacon: "If I'm right, and I believe I am, we have to match the
symbol to the number it belongs. Each in the cycle of the steps of a man's
life from beginning to end."
The Lunar Beacon: (Or nix that, lol)
Tales0fBeauty: She had no clue what was going on as she was far to
distracted it seemed by the dead bodies! though being curious when warren and
the others spoke she figured they had it handled.
psionic wanderer: "Match them? Are there numbers somewhere else?" Oh hey,
there were numbers in the symbols! Well..that ought to make the combination
rather easy to figure out.
Tesarik One: "They should be buried, don't you think?" She said softly.
psionic wanderer: He looked back to Tally then and nodded. "Yes, I agree. We
should make sure to see to it before we leave." He could use some pull of his
to get help if need be!
The Lunar Beacon: Well, before he went tinkering with it further he took a
step back, putting the puzzle together in his mind before attempting anything
further.
Tales0fBeauty: She would nod to tally "yes yes we will bury them, and bless
their graves!"
SwordOfAtrophy: "We.. should, provided we can do so without getting sick.
Bringing plague back with us wouldn't.. be.. very good."
Tesarik One: As they figured out the little code of the combination...
.suddenly, a hissing whisper comes from the body of th eyoungest daughter,
most noticed by Gerry and Tally since they are right there! "Father is
inside. He doesn't want us
Tesarik One: to see him."
Tesarik Five: Warren nodded his head rapidly when asked if the numbers were
somewhere else, and then pointed to them to make sure they knew. "Burn the
bodies?" Isn't that what people did with toxic bodies these days?
Mighty Gar thog: What are the numbers on the dials?
Tesarik One: "True. Burn them maybe."
psionic wanderer: "One through four, as I said." And then there was
whispering! He blinked and looked down to the corpse hissing at them and
furrowed his brow. "Perhaps we should dispose of the bodies before we open
the door, then."
RageofNocturne: :: He continued to look things over then looked to the door
and then turned his head looking to the body of the youngest and blinked-D-
Mighty Gar thog: ~The dwarf missed the whisper~ Oh, its easy then.
The Lunar Beacon: He turned, finally registering other people saying words,
taking a moment to recall what exactly it was that Gerry had said. "Any
particular reason why you'd want to go about doing such? I have a few flasks
of lantern oil with me.
Tesarik One: Quite a startling interjection from a hundred year old mummy!
"I can help... I know the combination. But you must promise me I can see my
daddy... oh and..." she hissed again, though her body did not move much, "I
want to marry the
Tesarik One: handsome prince of Doxenia someday!"
Tesarik Five: Warren had made his way to the door as he started to tug,
pull, push, roll, slide, or whatever was needed to match up the symbols.
Though, he stopped and turned midway through as someone said they might want
to take care of the
Tesarik Five: bodies first.
psionic wanderer: "Because she just told me that her father is inside and
doesn't want them to see him. I'd rather not enrage whatever's behind that
door." He looked back to the body and blinked once more, then looked to..well
anyone else. "Thoughts?
psionic wanderer: I'm not well-versed with this sort of thing."
RageofNocturne: :: He blinked listening to the youngest daughter-- Hey
listen over here. She said she can open it if she can see her father and mrry
the prince of Doxenia someday.-D-
Mighty Gar thog: ~He heard her that time~ Any chance... anyone could place
her spirit in a new body, or remove her curse and do some kind of miracle
healing on her?
Tesarik One: "It seems you just dial the numbers in the order , isn't that
what was said? Can they not read the numbers?" She stared down at the
daughter and frowned, then crouched, "If your daddy wishes to see you, then I
will
Tesarik One: make sure he can."
SwordOfAtrophy: "I'm not sure burning the remains of his family before
opening the door would enrage him any less than not doing that."
The Lunar Beacon: "Wait . . . the body of a century old mummy spoke to you?
I'd suggest you two back away from it, slowly." Well, nothing quite like a
conundrum in a puzzle! "I don't think we need their help, the puzzle wasn't
as complex as I
RageofNocturne: :: I can bring back and heal but i cannot move a soul in
that way nor cleanse a body.-D-
Tesarik One: "Be quiet!" hissed the mother's body.
Tales0fBeauty: She would zip over and looked curiously at the talking mummy!
"We will help you see your father..." though being a paladin she was a bit
leary of a talking mummy!
Tesarik One: "All they want is father's treasure," said the oldest daughter.
The Lunar Beacon: thought at first. We should agree on what action we're
going to take before we rush headlong in any direction." Ok, yeah, he heard
that hiss. If it wasn't for being Fearless, he'd be sweating buckets right
now.
psionic wanderer: "I don't think we need her to give us the combination." Oh
good, more of them were talking! He eyed the mother's body then and frowned a
little. "Perhaps we should have brought a priest with us."
Tesarik One: The mother sounded very angry, but she'd been trapped here for
over a century because of her husband. She had a right! "Both of you, be
quiet!" she hissed again.
Tesarik One: The youngest whined, "But I want to see daddy!"
The Lunar Beacon: "Aye, or a Paladin whose skills reach beyond healing and
defending." He chuckled softly at his own expense, for it was the truth of
his own talents. He moved over to the corpse of the mother, staring quietly
down at her. "Did you
The Lunar Beacon: or your daughters have a part in what happened here?"
Tesarik One: The mother said nothing as she was spoken to directly, she was
extremely distrustful and not willing to give info!
Tales0fBeauty: She would look at the mummies as they each spoke "im not
strong enough for exorsim or anything like that yet myself...." she could
heal and raise the dead but she wasnt sure about cursed mummies!
Tesarik Five: Warren, not being the most paitent of the people there, and
curious as he was, not a good combination, he clicked the third of the
symbols over before turning to look back at the group and the talking dead
people. "Dead people
Tesarik Five: shouldn't talk!"
Tesarik One: "Perhaps we should go and find their daddy, and husband, and
see what truly happened here."
Tesarik One: I need to know the combination that is being put in to see if
it opens!
The Lunar Beacon: "If you wish to find your rest, I can aide in this. I
come from the Howling Knights." He spoke the words softly, genuinely
perplexed at talking corpses that weren't trying to attack them, as well as
just talking corpses in general
The Lunar Beacon: .
psionic wanderer: "Hm." He nodded at that, then moved over to the door. He'd
take responsibility to open it! He'd make sure it was all at 3 1 4 2 after a
peek at the pictograms or what have you. If Warren was a bright fellow he'd
only need to help
psionic wanderer: with the last number!
Tesarik Five: (He was going youngest to oldest.)
Tesarik One: Yes. That is correct. It is life to death, so the child first,
then the warrior, then the one eyed man, then the elder. So 3142.
Tesarik Five: (Not sure the numbers on them. But yeah.)
psionic wanderer: So yep. he'd set the 2.
The Lunar Beacon: He'd nod seeing they'd decided to open the door and see
what came. He was as ready for it as he could be, near enough to the door to
intercept any trouble there, but taking up guard near the corpses should they
be none too happy
The Lunar Beacon: with their choice.
Tesarik One: The great bronze portal opens with a sigh of old musty air.
Within, you all see a long hallway lined with thick carpets. At the far end,
a short stair rises to a set of double doors.
Tesarik One: "Father does not want us to see him!" the oldest daughter said
hurriedly in her hiss, but the bodies did not move.
Mighty Gar thog: ~The dwarf looked at the mother and smiled, sayting in a
soft, pleasant tone~ We need to know if you aided in slaying the guest, so we
know if we can try to remove your curse, and either restore your body, or
send you to
Mighty Gar thog: a final, better peace. (Diplomacy)
Tesarik One: "I want to see Daddy!" whined the youngest.
OnlineHost: Mighty Gar thog rolled 1 20-sided die: 9

Mighty Gar thog: (24)
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
Tesarik One: ~*~ Tesarik One scored 1 poynts damage ~*~
Tales0fBeauty: She would frown hearing the youngest speak she looked to
brendan "maybe if we find the father we can bring his body out here so they
can see him?"
psionic wanderer: "We can't possibly restore their bodies after all this
time, that would almost certainly be more traumatic to them than their death
was in the first place."
RageofNocturne: :: He swallowed and sighed then looked to Brendan-- I am
going to bring the youngest. I cannot ignore her wish to see her father. --he
said and stepped over his padded clawed hand reaching down to lift the
youngest daughters body-D-
Tesarik One: Her body just lay there, hissing nothing now. But, the oldest
daughter spoke up, "Do not accuse Mother of anything! We did nothing to
deserve this...hell."
The Lunar Beacon: "Leave the body. You know not what it carries, or what
will come of such a thing." He spoke a bit briskly to John, not wanting him
to touch her, hoping he stopped him in time.
Tesarik One: Oh the body is most definitely diseased, and torn apart.
Tesarik One: John if you are touching the body, roll an Endurance.
OnlineHost: RageofNocturne rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
Tesarik One: ~*~ RageofNocturne scored 0 poynts damage ~*~
Tales0fBeauty: She said nothing of bringing anyone back! she looked to the
dwarf "did you not hear what i said before this all started, it was only the
father who killed the servant and pissed off the gods!"
RageofNocturne: + 2=14)
The Lunar Beacon: He crossed himself as the warning was not delivered in
time, taking a step backwards reflexively before catching himself.
Mighty Gar thog: Servant? Thought it was a guest?
Tales0fBeauty: *guest
Tesarik One: Fail. As you move the body, clouds of black smoke waft off the
twisted bodies, and you begin to feel sick. You find it hard to breathe, your
lungs are effected. (-2 to Strike until Cure Disease)
autumn chrysalis: Ferret just flit back and forth wringing her hands not
really sure what she should do. Hunting for cakes was so much easier.
Tesarik One: It was a guest.
Tesarik One: If anyone decides to traverse down the carpeted hallway, you
can make out a figure sitting on the steps, slumped to the side. A huge
figure. The carpet raises puffs of heavy dust causing you all to cough as you
move through it.
Tesarik Five: He looked back at the others. The lock and door was open...So
he blinked at the others before he waved over at them. "Big doors in there."
And then off he went into the hallway, up to the big doors, that he had no
chance at opening,
Mighty Gar thog: I still think we should try to restore their bodies to
them. I'll donate my share of any treasure to do so.
Tesarik Five: so he waited for someone larger than himself to help him.
Tales0fBeauty: She would sigh to john "you should not touch unholy cursed
things, even paladins are leary of doing so and we can usually remove that
stuff!" she looked to the others "well i dont know about you all but we
should go see if we can
Tesarik One: You need True Rezz to even begin to contemplate rezzing them.
Tales0fBeauty: find the father!" and she was off following warren!
Tales0fBeauty: She didnt have true rezz!
Mighty Gar thog: (That can be purchased, correct?)
SwordOfAtrophy: Jane would turn, and head down the hall. The reason for the
curse lie ahead, and she was determined to find answers, it was the least
that could be done.
Tesarik One: Thick cobwebs tear apart as you move through them. Upon the
stairs is a dark figure slumped against the wall.
The Lunar Beacon: Well, he'd gone and picked her up, so he set off down the
hallway, making sure to steer clear of him while he held the body. He'd
administer healing afterwards, hoping the head of the house would not return
to his body to wreak
Tales0fBeauty: (no that is a skill only healers can get)
The Lunar Beacon: havoc upon them all upon seeing the daughter.
Tesarik Five: Or stops near the slumped body. Just watching it.
RageofNocturne: :: Well he wasnt feeling well to begin with since feeling
fear from the hounds so this feeling was well. didnt bother him much more
than that. So he would carry the body with himself up the way-D-
Tesarik One: (You can purchase true rezz for 10,000gp)
psionic wanderer: "Once again, that would be horrible. What ar eyou
thinking, rezzing someone that long dead?" He scowled at the dwarf, then
started down the hallway with Brendan, staying clear from the corpse bearer
as well, and tightening his scarf
psionic wanderer: a bit to try and keep out that dust.
Mighty Gar thog: (Look at the list in Emporium, Tales. lots of things can be
bought)
Tesarik One: (from the "services rendered" but remember folks, sometimes it
is not the best idea to rezz someone, remember Queen of Dunsany, rezzed after
hundreds of years. into a world she did not understand)
Tesarik One: (I would caution against it, but I will not forceyou to do so,
but letting their spirtis free in some way is the better course of action.
rezzing is just not always the answer)
SwordOfAtrophy: (It's not an end all be all solution either)
Tales0fBeauty: (nope it is not)
Tesarik One: This figure is Xagarn, though you all do not know his name of
course. The count's personal bodyguard. Loyal to his death, this huge man
died puking out his rotten innards into his lap (like the countess) and his
shriveled corpose is
The Lunar Beacon: "Talk of restoring them to life is folly. Put it out of
your minds, no matter how noble you think it to be. Remember back to what
brought this calamity. If the gods wished them to live, they would not have
died the way they did."
Mighty Gar thog: ~To a dwarf a century was onl;y part of a lifetime. He went
in after the others, to see the one on the chair~
Tales0fBeauty: She wanst there anymore she was going down the newly opened
hallway with warren.
Tesarik One: encrusted with the gruesom dried remnants. But you should know
by now the dead do not rest well in this cursed keep........
Tales0fBeauty: but she agreed with the paladin and gerry!
Tesarik One: ^v^ 1/21/2015 2:15:55 AM ^v^
Tesarik One: And we will pick up there on Friday!
autumn chrysalis: Oh! She had spent so much time wringing her hands she had
lost track of the other fae, the only ones it didn't hurt to look at. So
she'd whirl around a bit and then flick off after them, leaving the bigpeople
to worry over deadpeopl
autumn chrysalis: deadpeople*.
OnlineHost: Mighty Gar thog has left the room.
SwordOfAtrophy: "Sir.." she spoke up, rare for her, to the corpse. "Are you
the master of this household?"
Tesarik One: As you all get down the doorway, you feel that intense fear
that was on you let up. So you won't have the fearstricken when we go Friday.
OnlineHost: Mighty Gar thog has entered the room.
Tesarik One: And, I can't have him answer that because of what happens next,
so you'll have to wait till Friday to talk to the corpse!

Tesarik One: There are places on Arith that remain untouched, for one reason
or another. One such place sits high atop a rocky cliff in Doxenia, in the
foothills of the Harpy Headlands (on the map, closest to
Tesarik One: Utterby). It appears as a crumbling conical pile atop a windy
escarpment. The populace of the small village below who make their living
from growing maize in the shadow of the hills claim that the fort is
Tesarik One: haunted and that none ever return from its dark walls. It has
been untenanted for over a hundred years; village legend states that it was
the keep of Count Henrik Argoz, a cruel and bloodthirsty

SwordOfAtrophy: (Doxenia is.. in fact, a place)
Tesarik One: Ok info sent, based on your rolls. Tally, and Gerry are going
to know the most. Maria is interested in finding out more about this place,
especially if no one has been in that lived to come out in over a hundred
years. that could
Tesarik One: mean untouched treasure. So, you all step out of the portal
into the cold that is upper Doxenia, at the base of the cliff. You can see
the conical odd looking fortress at the top of the cliff wall.
Tesarik One: Begin RP!
The Lunar Beacon: "Heard plenty of tales of this Count Argoz growing up,
pretty much once a day. Even moreso as I spent my time in the temple
learning about things to not let creep into my life. If I recall right, he
broke the guest's sanctity,
Tales0fBeauty: (brb)
Tesarik One: "Count Henrik Argoz, what a tragic tale... I wonder if it is
true." She stepped out of the portal in human form tonight, looking quite the
stylish healer in a fancy white dress with a ruffled collar. Not at all
looking like she had
The Lunar Beacon: trapping and killing a guest in his home." He pulled his
cloak tight about his frame despite the stench it put off(Fizz cloak,
shapeshift granted by it), warding off the cold. "The Gods never shine upon
such deeds, he brought
autumn chrysalis: "Wah, chilly!" A blur of bronze and copper sparks as the
autumn faerie popped out of the portal and began to vibrate all over to keep
herself warm, blowing on her hands and flitting around to keep the blood
going. Sure she was fully
Tesarik One: a bit of armor on... (Emperor's Armor). She had her pack on her
back, and a soft smile upon her face as the cold wind caught up her white
curls and tossed it in disarray.
The Lunar Beacon: calamity upon his household, losing himself and them all
to plague over the course of a single evening." He made sure his words
reached all who had gathered, crossing himself as he spoke of it.
autumn chrysalis: clothed, and she had a SCARF, but that didn't account for
much when your wings were completely exposed, as was her face. She looked
around a bit, not stopping in one place too long, leaving no blade of grass
temporarily
SwordOfAtrophy: The young girl took the words in as she stood mutely,
looking up at the fortress. The wool cloak huddled around her form, covering
the steel armor, the large katana held in her hands. "So.. haunted then?"
autumn chrysalis: unturned. This was her first job, and Mariah wanted info
.. so she'd get info damnit!
Tesarik Five: A zip and zag and Warren was darting through legs, past feet,
and then up over heads as he made his way past the many people that were in
the area on his way to the portal. Once on the other side he skidded to a
stop and smiled wide
RageofNocturne: :: He walked along with the group his bracers on while his
armor appeared as a pair of torn pants, a longsleeve with a shoulder pad and
a thin layer over his chest near transparent and a kneepad. His sword and his
guns on his hips a
psionic wanderer: "Hm. I wonder if it's true that the gods actually punished
Argoz and his family." He didn't need to call him Count Argoz, what with
being lower ranked than him, ha! He moved in through the portal, all geared
up in his light amount
psionic wanderer: of stuff, as he usually was. "At any rate, at least we can
get some water in the village. Do not expect them to be friendly, or terribly
helpful otherwise, though."
autumn chrysalis: Ooooh story time. She'd stop poking at a fallen leaf and
listen.
The Lunar Beacon: He took note of all who had gathered, speaking softly in
Celestial as he uttered a prayer before they set off, blessing as many of the
group as he could(Mass Good Hope, 6 hp to 6 pcs, targets: Gerry, Tally, Phe,
Ferret, John, Warren
The Lunar Beacon: dc = 13 if any saves are required, lasts the adventure).
RageofNocturne: s he moved his black fur keeping him warm enough as he moved
along and sniffed the air-D-
Tesarik Five: while he inspected those that had come along. Oh! Ferret! And
she was then tackled from behind as she was flitting about all over the
place. Giving her a big friendly hug as he did so. "Hello fellow cake
hunter!"
Tesarik One: Give me a moment to add in extra hp.

bone cracking hug once she realised it was Warren, grinning from ear to
pointed ear. "Oh! Warren-friend!" ... maybe there were cakes in the keep? One

autumn chrysalis: glancing at the rest of the party briefly she moved back
from Warren and unsheathed her sword, giving it a swing. "I have a new sword!
A bigperson who cuts open frogs for a living made it isn't it PRETTY." It was
bronze, and shiny:
autumn chrysalis: therefore, the BEST.
SwordOfAtrophy: Unfriendly people were nothing new to her, one of the
reasons she barely spoke to strangers. She inhaled slowly, her eyes closing
briefly, focusing on the task of staying alive while exploring. (CM:
Figher's Will, +6 HP)
The Lunar Beacon: He gave a nod to those gathered, his guard on extra alert
as it seemed there were plenty of faces fresh to these terrains, glad to have
fellow Doxenians along for the trip to his homelands. A smile extended to
Tally and Gerry, with
Tesarik One: (Does anyone have an issue with me using purple for DM? Easier
than having to switch colors for Tally)
psionic wanderer: (Not me.)
autumn chrysalis: (( no objections here! ))
The Lunar Beacon: a bow of his head given to them as well, the bow to Gerry
a bit deeper than Tally.(No problems here at all, easier for you means less
stress)
Tales0fBeauty: place could be cursed if that is ture you should never piss
off the gods!" then she saw warren and another fae! and giggled as she zipped

nod and a smile.

Tesarik Five: He smiled right back to Ferret with a beaming smile, flying
back just a bit as she pulled out her sword to show it off. Grinning his eyes

going up to the odd fort at the top. Not just any old stairs though, these
high stairs are

required. But aye, best to be careful about things you touch, where you

Tesarik Five: "It is pretty! He cuts open frogs?" Odd. Hmm. What did the
frogs do to be opened up like that? But then there was another similar voice
and waving hands next to him so he turned to see Phae and he beamed her a
smile, returning that
autumn chrysalis: "I didn't touch anything!" She'd look panicked for a
minute, sheathing her sword seconds before another faerie came in, Ferret
hopping back a step or two so she didn't get flattened. "HI!"
Tesarik One: hacked and hewn out of the craggy cliff face and have worn away
over the hundred + years. It is extremely steep, and only wide enough for one
person to walk. There are some hand holds also carved into the stone at a few
intervals.
Tesarik Five: wild bit of waving right back to her. "Ohohoh! Hello other
bestest friend!" All farries were his bestest friends.
Tesarik One: The wind is buffeting the cliffside with dangerous gusts even
as you look upwards.
Tesarik One: www.ssqq.com/archive/images/huashan%20stairway.jpg
(Keyword to: www.ssqq.com/archive/images/huashan%20stairway.jpg)
Tesarik One: Similar to this... yet without the rope railing, and much more
worn down.
Tales0fBeauty: She would giggle at the fae she hadnt met yet "did i hear
something about cake?! she woudl then giggel to warren "hello bestest
friend!" she was almost so distracted being around other fae she didnt tell
the others about the steps
Tales0fBeauty: she saw and then she would look at them, she was a fae she
could fly up. "ooh those stairs look creepy!"
The Lunar Beacon: "I despise climbing." Muttered softly under his breath as
they approached the stairs, especially glad he had his cloak with him. If he
fell, he could transform into something more suited for getting past this
obstacle, but he'd

the others and the faries with them and then would use his cloak of the ursa
to turn into a black raven and would flap his wings and begin to fly around

autumn chrysalis: She eyed the bird suspiciously.
The Lunar Beacon: put himself at the foreground, wanting to be the first up
top should anything nasty be awaiting them once there. Well, the first for
those plagued with walking, anyway.
SwordOfAtrophy: "Would you like me to attempt it first..?" She was a decent
enough climber.. most days.
Tesarik One: So, you will need to decide in what order you are going up the
stairs and be very clear so I can mark it down. I realize the faeries can fly
up, but there will still be checks for them too from the wind.
Tales0fBeauty: She would eye the bird suspiciously too!
Tesarik One: You can all go up at one time, but it's only wide enough for
one person, not sure if I made that clear.
Tales0fBeauty: (what about tiny sized fae!?)
autumn chrysalis: (( flying with checks from wind ))
Tesarik One: If you are flying, the steps don't matter.
Tesarik One: Choose your order so we can get this climbing bit done.
psionic wanderer: He'd certainly go second after Brendan, what with this
being his homeland and all! He saw no reason not to take some of the lead.
Tales0fBeauty: She would just fly on up there she was a most curious fae
after all and she was fearless one at that!
Tesarik One: I will do the fae checks at the end.
autumn chrysalis: Ferret waited for the bird to go: she was wary of birds,
they either tried to steal her shinies or they pecked her, thinking she was a
dragonfly.
Tesarik Five: There was a small tilt of his head toward the bird that went
flying about them. Hmm. That made him start to think about his own bird
friend that was still at home. Then Phae started off up the stairs, or the
path anyway. And Warren
OnlineHost: The Lunar Beacon has left the room.
OnlineHost: The Lunar Beacon has entered the room.
OnlineHost: The Lunar Beacon has left the room.
Tesarik One: She was in a dress, she was most certainly going to go up last.
She motioned to Jane, and Krag to go before her.
OnlineHost: The Lunar Beacon has entered the room.
SwordOfAtrophy: (Brendan, Gerry, Jane, Krag, Tally acceptable, just to get
moving?_
Mighty Gar thog: ~He looked at her~ I'd be best last. I'm strong enough to
catch any who slip and fall backwards.
RageofNocturne: :: And he would continue to fly around them before he went
to fly up the way-D-
Tesarik Five: went off after her.
SwordOfAtrophy: "She doesn't want you looking up her dress."
psionic wanderer: "I doubt Tally is going to have any trouble." He did move
over to her and whisper!
Tesarik One: She was going up last, regardless of what Krag said. Even if
she had to wait till they were all in.
Mighty Gar thog: Oh. ~he chuckled at that idea, shrugged and went in front
of her then~
Tesarik One: She smiled to Gerry, and gave him a pat on the shoulder, "You
go on up, I will come up behind. If I need to shift on the way up I will."
autumn chrysalis: Once the avian all clear was made, Ferret flicked her
wings and up she went, keeping just above peoples heads .. she suspected that
zooming ahead of everyone would be a Bad Idea.
psionic wanderer: "Alright." He smiled, then moved over and waited til
Brendan got started.
Tesarik One: Brendan - Roll first an Athletics Check.
The Lunar Beacon: Well, wasting no time, he began his ascent, nodding to
himself as he looked for proper footing and sent a prayer to Leaxo.

Tales0fBeauty: She was a paladin fae she had some good amour so she wasnt
too worried! but once she was at the top she waited there for the others.

The Lunar Beacon: "Steps are a mite slippery, keep watch of them." He
muttered something incoherent as he attempted to get moving once more.

muscles, and your endurance level from the constant buffeting of the cold

turn the first

the excuse he was going to go with. He panted, a bit winded, but would bely
nothing to those around him. He just tried his best to shake it off.
Mighty Gar thog: ~The dwarf, being smaller than most dwarves, and in heavily
weighted armour, tried to simply plod on up the stairs, ready to catch any
who slipped, or were blown downwards~

psionic wanderer: He grimaced when he got on up to the top and rolled his
shoulders a bit. "Shame I couldnt' acrobat my way up." He crouched down at
the top to help anyone else up if they got close and needed it.
Tesarik One: You easily make your way to the top, with very little strain.
Tesarik One: Tally-
Tesarik One: She tucked her dress in her belt a bit to give her room to
walk, and the healer began to move upwards along the path. Hopefully, being
snow leopard would prove useful in this regard.

Tesarik Five: Well Warren was darting around, the cold air feeling good to
him, what with being a Frost Fairy as it were.
psionic wanderer: "Were this running and not climbing, I'd agree with that.
I'm built for speed, not hauling myself up cliffs." He grinned, then patted
himself down a bit to make sure he hadn't dropped anything whilst climbing.
Mighty Gar thog: ~He then turned, seeing she was safe, and had easily
climbed up the last few feet, turned to loo at their surroundings now~
OnlineHost: Tesarik Five rolled 1 20-sided die: 11

whole thing!
Tesarik Five: (+5 = 16)
Mighty Gar thog: ~He only saw the last few feet, being in front of her~
Tesarik One: Warren, you are exhausted fighting against the wind, but you
make it.
psionic wanderer: He had said she probably wouldnt' have any trouble! He had
a look around since they were up now. Most of them anyway.
OnlineHost: Tales0fBeauty rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
Tesarik One: Pher makes it without much strain.
Mighty Gar thog: ~Thought he heardazip sound as Phe went between the winds~
The Lunar Beacon: He just wrapped his cloak a bit tighter around himself,
more than a bit miserable at this altitude. "Probably should have stretched.
But this is why I don't climb often. Bah . . . Avilon Islands this is not!"
He tried to sound
Tales0fBeauty: She would feel the wind but she was a strong fae and she was
pretty good at flying in it! so she pressed on!
Tesarik One: As you all climb the very tall, steep stairs you find further
up there are rusty chains bolted to the steps and stretches to the doors, but
even putting one hand on that is goign to tell you that it would fall under
your weight. The
The Lunar Beacon: more cheerful than he felt, but it was not a fun climb at
all.
Tesarik Five: Well, the way up wasn't cold to him, but it was a bit
windy...His butterfly style wings catching to much of it as he went up and
once at the top he found the first big person shoulder to plop himself down
on. Huffing and puffing a
Tesarik Five: little while he caught his breath. "Lots of windy wind."
psionic wanderer: "Yes, climbing with armor is..not the wisest idea." He
gave Brendan a clap on the shoulder. "At least you didn't fall to your doom
though, yes?"
Tesarik One: doors are slotted deeply into the cliff walls and carved out of
bare rock; windows in the rock were probably arrow slits for defense, but if
you all peer into them now, you only see a partially collapsed chamber filled
with rubble
Tesarik One: and broken wood. The doors are closed.
The Lunar Beacon: He gave a genuine laugh as he heard Gerry, nodding and
returning the clap. "Aye, there are some positives to surviving such a
climb. I'd best start including such things into my daily routines. Good
thing Cherith's not here,
psionic wanderer: Well he'd certainly be trying to have a peek in through an
arrow slit, rather than just opening the door. Didn't look like much in
there, but that certainly didn't mean it wasn't dangerous. In fact, being
partially collapsed might
psionic wanderer: well make it MORE dangerous.
The Lunar Beacon: she'd tease me endlessly." That did it, his smile was
back in place, nodding firmly then as he examined the next obstacle before
them.
Tesarik Five: (Sorry. +9, due to Mountian terran and his Favored Terran. So
it's a total of 20)
Tesarik One: She clung to the steps, being at the bottom, waiting for them
all to pull to the top before she too climbed up. She was breathing a wee bit
more than usual, after all it still was a difficult climb even if she did it
well. She
RageofNocturne: :: After flying up he would fly low and shift into his
domestic tibetan mastiff form and shook his fur out then walked along and
looked over the fortress-D-
Tesarik One: put her skirts back down falling to her ankles, and brushed her
gloved hands together to clean them of the rocky debris. Then waited for the
doors to be opened.
Tales0fBeauty: She would see john turn into a dog and she would go and
landed on him and nuzzled into his soft fur "Hi hi!" she gave everyone else a
wave as they made it up too.
RageofNocturne: :: He looked to Phe if he could see where she went in his
long black fur-- Ahh Phe good to see you.-C-
RageofNocturne: -D-*
Tesarik One: Since Gerry and Brendan are closest, being first up, one of
them would be the most logical to open the doors.
Tales0fBeauty: She was near his head and scratched behind his right ear with
both hands "how is my favorite wolfy?!"
SwordOfAtrophy: She looked the door over, not seeing much as an obstacle
that would prove difficult. She would stride in herself, but Brendan seemed
like he wanted to be the first into the Lions Den, so she would avoid
fighting him on the matter.
The Lunar Beacon: He shook off his misgivings of the climb and started
making his way to the doors, careful of his footing as he approached. He
tested the handle to see if it was locked in any fashion, and if not gave a
push or a pull, whichever way
The Lunar Beacon: it opened.
psionic wanderer: He assumed Brendan would be doing it! "Looks clear in
there, if you'd like to take point, sir Pearce. As far as I can see through
this arrow slit, which is of course less than useful." He moved over towards
the door then, left hand
psionic wanderer: resting on the hilt of his rapier as Brendan tended to the
door.
Tesarik One: Push. It was not locked.
Tesarik One: The doors swing open with a rusty squeal. It has been quite
some time since anybody entered here- a layer of dust, blown in over time
from the arrow slits, lies spread thickly across the pavement. The
Tesarik One: heroes stand in a tall central room. They can just make out the
brick walls of the conical structure in which they stand in the gloom; a
shaft of golden sunlight spears down through the center of the
Tesarik One: room through a window high above and behind their heads. As
their eyes adjust to the dimness, they recognize the pale shapes of scattered
bones spread in patches across the floor.
The Lunar Beacon: He nodded then as it opened a bit more easily than he was
anticipating. He moved in to be sure there was plenty of room for those
moving behind him, taking in what could be seen without disturbing anything.
SwordOfAtrophy: Careful steps guided her inside amidst the group, trying to
avoid stepping on any bones. Her pale green eyes surveyed the room, surely
there must be a door, or stairs somewhere.
autumn chrysalis: "ooooooooooo." She flitted from side to side, eyes wide as
teacups as she drank in the room they had all arrived in. Notably, she had
her hands firmly - FIRMLY - clasped behind her back. Not touching. Not,
touching anything!
Mighty Gar thog: I advise not touching the plague bones ~looing at the
fliers~
Tesarik One: She moved into the area, using her darksight to peer around,
though there did seem to be a shaft of light. She moved up to Gerry and
slipped something into his hand, with a soft whisper to him, and then
proceeded to look around the
Tesarik One: area.
RageofNocturne: :: I am well. Been keeping busy. --he said as he walked
along and inside with the others and looked around the place and began to
sniff around-D-
Tales0fBeauty: She would see the beam of light as they got into the room and
she would zip over there and opened up her butterfly shaped irrodecent
blueish purplish and pinkish colored wings and she would smile as she felt
the sun warm them. Then
Tesarik Five: Once the doors were opened he went right on in. Doing a little
spin right in the middle of the room, just above everyones head, he inspected
the walls and higher up, just looking about as it were. The dim light not a
bother to him
Tales0fBeauty: she would zip back over to john and landed back on his head
she was trying to be a good fae and not touch anyting either!
psionic wanderer: Dressed for the cold, certainly he had a scarf! He tugged
it up over his mouth and nose to add at least a weak layer of protection
against airborne disease. He tilted his head when he got something put in his
hand and smiled behind
autumn chrysalis: She was already not touching anything: but it should be
more a general warning than a flying above the ground without nose to the
ground warning!
Tesarik One: (brb real quick)
psionic wanderer: his scarf, then nodded. "Thank you." He activated the Rod
of Hidden Light since..may as well if nobody else could see it anyway. He'd
be able to look around much more easily now, as he stepped in. (brb myself)
Tesarik Five: as it were. Bones? What bones? Then down at the floor he
looked and he blinked a few times. "Oh bones!" And down he went to dart a
little closer to them just to look at them close like. But still at knee
level for most of the people
The Lunar Beacon: Fishing in his pack, he produced a sun rod. He didn't
activate it just yet, but he was prepared to do so if it became necessary,
which seemingly it wouldn't be as Gerry produced something quite a bit more
useful, stowing it back in
The Lunar Beacon: his pack.
Tesarik Five: so to far away to touch. "Yup. Their bones." Nodnodnod.
Tales0fBeauty: She would giggle at warren "Of course they are the dogs ate
all them after they died!"
Mighty Gar thog: (afk)
Tales0fBeauty: at least that was her assumed reason for the bones being
there!
Tales0fBeauty: "might be plaguey bones! be careful!"
Tesarik One: As they peered around, looking at the bones, basking in the
sunlight of the shaft.... they suddenly had a sense they were not alone.
Those with darksight would see them first....as they shuffled into the
darkness from just beyond
Tesarik One: the edge of visible. Two gigantic guard-hounds, Vikush and
Voralgu, who have become huge, immortal, and terribly ravenous from feeding
on the cursed flesh of the Count's stricken family. Their bristling, silvery
fur is crusted with
Tesarik One: filthy black and brown from the seeping blood of numerous
infected sores, and their enormous drooping-lipped jaws peel back in demonic
snarls to reveal shattered and bleeding teeth and diseased gums. These
creatures have lurked here
Tesarik One: for over a hundred years, gorging their cursed hunger on the
foolish ones who trespassed into this unholy fort, and a century of undying
fear and rage has stripped them of any previous allegiance they might have
held to mankind.
Tesarik One: Everyone please roll a Willpower.

nuzzle a dog but not those

try to avoid them for now!

radiance and a deep golden hue as the dogs appeared, shaking off whatever
they were attempting to subdue him with, readying his shield should they
decide to lunge. "Mind their

are able." He didn't raise his voice beyond a normal tone, not wanting to
inspire the dogs to action before the group was ready.
Tesarik One: Yes.
Tales0fBeauty: She would feel the fear try to wash over her but she was a
fearless fae! and she would stare at them with that fearless gaze! she had a
health fear of them!

his rapier! Thankfully, it was enchanted well. (Courageous enchat, can pass a

Tesarik Five: He gave a little shiver and blink at the dogs. They looked
mean!
Tesarik One: Noted. They are some incredibly scary looking massive dogs,
effecting some more than others. Vikush springs forward as they both come
into view, heading for Brendan with it's terrible teeth to tear into him.
SwordOfAtrophy: Jane held the katana, sheathed still, but at the ready. The
fear took hold, but she tried to shake it off, mentally reminding her mun to
take Fearless next rank up. Avoid their blood? Not an easy task with her
weapon, but she'd try

Tesarik One: scattered bones of the Count's stricken retinue and vassals.
One staircase leads into what looks to be a throne chamber.
psionic wanderer: He moved over to Tally to make sure she was alright,
though she hadn't seen one of the critters go after her anyway, so it seemed
she was! Well then. Lots of stairs to check out.
The Lunar Beacon: He stepped carefully around the piles of goo. He wasn't
worried about them necessarily, but why carry filth and disease with you if
it coule be avoided? He kept a careful watch of their surroundings as they
progressed, none too
Tesarik One: It's various colors, mostly pussy yellowish green and grey.
Tesarik Five: Normally he'd go down to them and tell them just how bad they
were, but sense they were all nasty and ooey, well nope! Huffing a little
though .................And color choices?
Mighty Gar thog: Remember... a darker, sticky goo lies ahead.
Tesarik One: She'd been kinda hiding out, thankfully making no sound or
drawing attention to herself. She sighed with relief and looked over Gerry to
make sure he was ok. Then she headed for the stairs, checking out the various
places that held
SwordOfAtrophy: (lol, I assume that's suppose to be a form of 'puss')
The Lunar Beacon: concerned with the piles of refuse and rot that time had
withered in its grasp. Over each set of bones they encountered he offered up
a quiet prayer to Leaxo, hoping that the vassals and house members didn't
fully share in the
The Lunar Beacon: folly that befell them.
Tales0fBeauty: She would put her bow away and she would watch him die to her
arrow and she would give a firm nod. then she saw the goo "eww that is
nasty!" she would see the different stair cases and she would look to them
curiously "ooh which
Tesarik One: nothing of interest.
RageofNocturne: :: He put away his gun and axe then moved after the others
up the stairs-D-
Tesarik One: (HA sorry about that. Yes. Pus yellow-green lmao)
Tales0fBeauty: one!" her little irrodecent butterfly wings of blue, purple
and pink would fultter behind her.
Tesarik Five: (Naughty. ;p)
psionic wanderer: "I'm not certain how telling us more than once about dark,
sticky goo is going to be terribly helpful without more information." Said as
he was checking out staircases and their nothing of interest with Tally.
autumn chrysalis: "Hmmph." Flicking anything nasty off her sword, she'd
gingerly put it away whilst wishing she had the foresight to bring rags for
cleaning, before flexing her wings and flitting off after the rest of the
party. Though she was
The Lunar Beacon: As they neared the throne chamber he went into higher
alert. If the dogs had survived over the course of a century, there was no
telling what awaited them further in. He crossed the threshold as quietly as
he could, bedecked in
Tesarik One: So after checking out the other rooms, you all head into the
Throne Chamber. A moth-eaten rug is on the floor and dusty tapestries hang
from the walls, depicting the victories of the Count and his army. Behind the
throne is a heavy
autumn chrysalis: incredibly curious as to what treasures might be hidden
somewhere .. those dogs had her pretty freaked. Didn't have those back home!
Tesarik One: bronze door with an intricate mechanical lock on it.... but
that is not all.
Tesarik One: In this room lie the gruesome remains of the Count's tragic
family, who died from the horrible disease inflicted by Henrik's curse and
whose bodies were fed upon by the devilish hounds- three
Tesarik One: age-blackened and dog-savaged mummified bodies in the faded
tatters of ancient gowns, their limbs and faces unnaturally twisted in
disturbing ways by rigor mortis. The corpses of the cursed count's two
Tesarik One: daughters lie in each others' arms at the foot of the throne,
their legs separated from their bodies and their stomachs ruptured by the
corpse-eating hounds. Their shriveled eyes are small black pits and
Tesarik One: their teeth shine very whitely. Across the room, the body of
the lady Countess Rashel lies on her back, surrounded by a black coating of
some flaky black substance, actually the rotten material that the
Tesarik One: countess wretched up before she died. Her body, too, was
savaged and eaten of by the dogs, her face is twisted in a horrible shriek.
autumn chrysalis: Ferret blanches, and flits off to a corner to be quietly
sick.
The Lunar Beacon: armor as he was. He'd still yet to draw a weapon beyond
his shield, his steps leading him to the throne as he spotted the door,
though he was slow in his approach which came to a halt as he saw the
mummified remains.
Mighty Gar thog: ~Was wondering who might have entered and fallen to the
dogs, with what stuff. Maybe something collected it~
Tesarik One: Poor sweet Talasyn does not fare much better as she walks in
and sees the tragic, and horrific site. She too finds a corner to lift up
her white gauzy net and be sick, shaking a bit at the horror of it all.
Tales0fBeauty: She would follow the others to the throne room and she would
gasp in horror at the scene not something paladin faes liked to see! "poor
people!!"
Tesarik Five: He'd went about checking out the rooms, finding nothing, only
to follow the group to that throne room of sorts. Looking about now he then
blinked as he saw the twisted, disfigured, and nasty looking bodies.
Blinkblinkblinkblink. Eww
RageofNocturne: :: He looked around the room and at the corpses and shook
his head and growled-- They were dogs who grew hungry. It is unfortunate that
the only food for them was the bodies of their former owners.-D-
The Lunar Beacon: "To think . . . all this came about simply because one man
was foolish enough to betray the guest rights. Let this be a lesson to us
all. Some things are sacred, no matter what we think of them." He'd nod
sagely at his own words,
Mighty Gar thog: Exactly. ~replied to John~
The Lunar Beacon: choosing a path to the door that would take him along a
course so as not to disturb further the already disturbed dead.
SwordOfAtrophy: Jane took in the sight, her expression not changing. Horror
was horror no matter whether it was death, abuse or torment. And she'd been
through enough of it where it didn't affect her on the surface. "Sacred is a
subjective term."
Tesarik Five: that was not very good looking. No cake for him tonight!
Well, who was he kidding. Cake every day! But still he kept himself back near
the door so not to be to close to the bodies while he shivered in a mixture
of lingering fear
Tesarik Five: and seeing the nastyness.
Tesarik One: She took out a handkerchief and wiped her her mouth, and rose
up from one knee again. Tears glimmered upon her eyelashes as she looked
around, and she moved to the two daughters and stared down at them. "I do
hope at least their
Tesarik One: spirits found release."
autumn chrysalis: Wiping her mouth with her sleeve, she looked about ready
to heave again but her run out of tummy contents. Fortunately, fae puke is
very small and probably full of glitter and rainbows so .. small mercies.
Tesarik One: The door has quite a mechanism on it, especially for a hundred
years ago. No doubt constructed by a mage learned in mechanical arts. It is a
combination lock, and in order to open the door, four ivory wheels each
marked with a
Mighty Gar thog: Brandon? Do me a small favour. Pray over their bodies, will
you?
Tesarik Five: And knowing Ferret, probably plenty of half chewed chunks of
cake......
The Lunar Beacon: He turned, hearing Jane, though he shook his head. "I'll
not argue semantics in this place. The sooner we are done here, the better,
at any rate. Anyone good with locks?" He'd gotten close enough to the door
to see it was
psionic wanderer: He frowned when he saw what was about, it certainly was
not pleasant in the slightest. He watched Tally move over to a corner, and
moved along with her so she could get her some comfort when she was done bein
sick. He shook his head
Tesarik One: number symbol (in Doxenian) that must be rotated for form the
correct code. But, what is the correct code??
psionic wanderer: when it was asked if any were good with locks, though he
could read the numbers at least!
autumn chrysalis: "Umm .. I can hit them?" She balled up a fist and gave a
few experimental swings. Other than busting the hell out of it, she wasn't
good with locks .. though normally there were some locks she just didn't have
to do anything but fly
autumn chrysalis: through! This one probably wasn't one of them though.
The Lunar Beacon: beyond his ability to mess with, looking to the one that
mis-spoke his name. "Brendan . . . Ser Brendan Pearce, if it helps you
remember. As for prayers, they've already been given."
Tesarik One: Please roll either a SPOT or an INSIGHT.
The Lunar Beacon: (Insight)
SwordOfAtrophy: Jane exhaled. "That wasn't what I meant, Sir."
Tales0fBeauty: She would nod to tally "I hope so too!" she would spot the
silver door behind the throne though "ooh a door!" she could try her hand
with locks but she would see what others could do first cause she wasnt a
rogue!

Tesarik One: ~*~ psionic wanderer scored 0 poynts damage ~*~Those looking at
the door will note that it is quite decorative in the bronze. A relic really,
worked with various symbols. Those who got a SPOT 18+ will notice that
psionic wanderer: (10 insight)
Tesarik One: the symbols are more like pictorials; there is a warrior
pierced with arrows, a leader with one eye, a child, and a skeletal near
dying older man.
Tesarik One: INSIGHT 15+ ...IM me if you got 15+ Insight.
The Lunar Beacon: Well, maybe the design was not so far out of his element.
He puzzled it over a bit, grinning as he noticed a pattern in the symbols.
"The cycles of a man's life . . . from birth to death."
Tesarik One: She stared at the door, and the symbols, but wasn't close
enough to really make out much more than the Doxenian numbers on the ivory
wheels, which Gerry had also seen. She folded her hands behind her back and
stared back down at the
Tesarik One: two daughters while they worked.
Mighty Gar thog: ~he blinked, nodding to Brendan~ I'm a bit confused on it
though.
The Lunar Beacon: He looked over the positions of the symbols, offering up a
quick prayer of guidance as he leaned closer to examine them. He took a
chance and checked to see if he could arrange the first symbol into the
position of the child.
Tesarik Five: Squinting his eyes, just for effect really, he looked to the
lock and then flew a bit closer to it as he pointed. "Whats these things?"
Well he didn't know Doxenian, so it was all jibber jabber to him. But they
looked important
Tesarik Five: enough.
SwordOfAtrophy: Jane was also looking at the girls, which showed in her
horrible fail roll about the door. They reminded her of herself, and that was
an eerie feeling.
psionic wanderer: He certainly wasn't going to be much help here, puzzles
and locks were not what he was good at! He looked over to Tally again and
gave her a squeeze around the waist with one arm. "Is there anything you
think we ought to do with
psionic wanderer: them?"
psionic wanderer: He looked back to Warren when he was asking away about
things, then looked where he was pointing. "What, the numbers? One through
four."
Tesarik Five: "Match up the funny symbols!" Blurted out, as he'd seen the
same Dozenian numbers (Not that he knew thats what they were) on the pictures
as he did the wheels.
The Lunar Beacon: (Meaning first as in wherever the number 1 was)
Tesarik One: Let me tell you the symbols again. a warrior pierced with
arrows has the 1 on it, the one eyed leader has a 4, the child has 3, and the
elder has 2
The Lunar Beacon: "If I'm right, and I believe I am, we have to match the
symbol to the number it belongs. Each in the cycle of the steps of a man's
life from beginning to end."
The Lunar Beacon: (Or nix that, lol)
Tales0fBeauty: She had no clue what was going on as she was far to
distracted it seemed by the dead bodies! though being curious when warren and
the others spoke she figured they had it handled.
psionic wanderer: "Match them? Are there numbers somewhere else?" Oh hey,
there were numbers in the symbols! Well..that ought to make the combination
rather easy to figure out.
Tesarik One: "They should be buried, don't you think?" She said softly.
psionic wanderer: He looked back to Tally then and nodded. "Yes, I agree. We
should make sure to see to it before we leave." He could use some pull of his
to get help if need be!
The Lunar Beacon: Well, before he went tinkering with it further he took a
step back, putting the puzzle together in his mind before attempting anything
further.
Tales0fBeauty: She would nod to tally "yes yes we will bury them, and bless
their graves!"
SwordOfAtrophy: "We.. should, provided we can do so without getting sick.
Bringing plague back with us wouldn't.. be.. very good."
Tesarik One: As they figured out the little code of the combination...
.suddenly, a hissing whisper comes from the body of th eyoungest daughter,
most noticed by Gerry and Tally since they are right there! "Father is
inside. He doesn't want us
Tesarik One: to see him."
Tesarik Five: Warren nodded his head rapidly when asked if the numbers were
somewhere else, and then pointed to them to make sure they knew. "Burn the
bodies?" Isn't that what people did with toxic bodies these days?
Mighty Gar thog: What are the numbers on the dials?
Tesarik One: "True. Burn them maybe."
psionic wanderer: "One through four, as I said." And then there was
whispering! He blinked and looked down to the corpse hissing at them and
furrowed his brow. "Perhaps we should dispose of the bodies before we open
the door, then."
RageofNocturne: :: He continued to look things over then looked to the door
and then turned his head looking to the body of the youngest and blinked-D-
Mighty Gar thog: ~The dwarf missed the whisper~ Oh, its easy then.
The Lunar Beacon: He turned, finally registering other people saying words,
taking a moment to recall what exactly it was that Gerry had said. "Any
particular reason why you'd want to go about doing such? I have a few flasks
of lantern oil with me.
Tesarik One: Quite a startling interjection from a hundred year old mummy!
"I can help... I know the combination. But you must promise me I can see my
daddy... oh and..." she hissed again, though her body did not move much, "I
want to marry the
Tesarik One: handsome prince of Doxenia someday!"
Tesarik Five: Warren had made his way to the door as he started to tug,
pull, push, roll, slide, or whatever was needed to match up the symbols.
Though, he stopped and turned midway through as someone said they might want
to take care of the
Tesarik Five: bodies first.
psionic wanderer: "Because she just told me that her father is inside and
doesn't want them to see him. I'd rather not enrage whatever's behind that
door." He looked back to the body and blinked once more, then looked to..well
anyone else. "Thoughts?
psionic wanderer: I'm not well-versed with this sort of thing."
RageofNocturne: :: He blinked listening to the youngest daughter-- Hey
listen over here. She said she can open it if she can see her father and mrry
the prince of Doxenia someday.-D-
Mighty Gar thog: ~He heard her that time~ Any chance... anyone could place
her spirit in a new body, or remove her curse and do some kind of miracle
healing on her?
Tesarik One: "It seems you just dial the numbers in the order , isn't that
what was said? Can they not read the numbers?" She stared down at the
daughter and frowned, then crouched, "If your daddy wishes to see you, then I
will
Tesarik One: make sure he can."
SwordOfAtrophy: "I'm not sure burning the remains of his family before
opening the door would enrage him any less than not doing that."
The Lunar Beacon: "Wait . . . the body of a century old mummy spoke to you?
I'd suggest you two back away from it, slowly." Well, nothing quite like a
conundrum in a puzzle! "I don't think we need their help, the puzzle wasn't
as complex as I
RageofNocturne: :: I can bring back and heal but i cannot move a soul in
that way nor cleanse a body.-D-
Tesarik One: "Be quiet!" hissed the mother's body.
Tales0fBeauty: She would zip over and looked curiously at the talking mummy!
"We will help you see your father..." though being a paladin she was a bit
leary of a talking mummy!
Tesarik One: "All they want is father's treasure," said the oldest daughter.
The Lunar Beacon: thought at first. We should agree on what action we're
going to take before we rush headlong in any direction." Ok, yeah, he heard
that hiss. If it wasn't for being Fearless, he'd be sweating buckets right
now.
psionic wanderer: "I don't think we need her to give us the combination." Oh
good, more of them were talking! He eyed the mother's body then and frowned a
little. "Perhaps we should have brought a priest with us."
Tesarik One: The mother sounded very angry, but she'd been trapped here for
over a century because of her husband. She had a right! "Both of you, be
quiet!" she hissed again.
Tesarik One: The youngest whined, "But I want to see daddy!"
The Lunar Beacon: "Aye, or a Paladin whose skills reach beyond healing and
defending." He chuckled softly at his own expense, for it was the truth of
his own talents. He moved over to the corpse of the mother, staring quietly
down at her. "Did you
The Lunar Beacon: or your daughters have a part in what happened here?"
Tesarik One: The mother said nothing as she was spoken to directly, she was
extremely distrustful and not willing to give info!
Tales0fBeauty: She would look at the mummies as they each spoke "im not
strong enough for exorsim or anything like that yet myself...." she could
heal and raise the dead but she wasnt sure about cursed mummies!
Tesarik Five: Warren, not being the most paitent of the people there, and
curious as he was, not a good combination, he clicked the third of the
symbols over before turning to look back at the group and the talking dead
people. "Dead people
Tesarik Five: shouldn't talk!"
Tesarik One: "Perhaps we should go and find their daddy, and husband, and
see what truly happened here."
Tesarik One: I need to know the combination that is being put in to see if
it opens!
The Lunar Beacon: "If you wish to find your rest, I can aide in this. I
come from the Howling Knights." He spoke the words softly, genuinely
perplexed at talking corpses that weren't trying to attack them, as well as
just talking corpses in general
The Lunar Beacon: .
psionic wanderer: "Hm." He nodded at that, then moved over to the door. He'd
take responsibility to open it! He'd make sure it was all at 3 1 4 2 after a
peek at the pictograms or what have you. If Warren was a bright fellow he'd
only need to help
psionic wanderer: with the last number!
Tesarik Five: (He was going youngest to oldest.)
Tesarik One: Yes. That is correct. It is life to death, so the child first,
then the warrior, then the one eyed man, then the elder. So 3142.
Tesarik Five: (Not sure the numbers on them. But yeah.)
psionic wanderer: So yep. he'd set the 2.
The Lunar Beacon: He'd nod seeing they'd decided to open the door and see
what came. He was as ready for it as he could be, near enough to the door to
intercept any trouble there, but taking up guard near the corpses should they
be none too happy
The Lunar Beacon: with their choice.
Tesarik One: The great bronze portal opens with a sigh of old musty air.
Within, you all see a long hallway lined with thick carpets. At the far end,
a short stair rises to a set of double doors.
Tesarik One: "Father does not want us to see him!" the oldest daughter said
hurriedly in her hiss, but the bodies did not move.
Mighty Gar thog: ~The dwarf looked at the mother and smiled, sayting in a
soft, pleasant tone~ We need to know if you aided in slaying the guest, so we
know if we can try to remove your curse, and either restore your body, or
send you to
Mighty Gar thog: a final, better peace. (Diplomacy)
Tesarik One: "I want to see Daddy!" whined the youngest.

brendan "maybe if we find the father we can bring his body out here so they
can see him?"
psionic wanderer: "We can't possibly restore their bodies after all this
time, that would almost certainly be more traumatic to them than their death
was in the first place."
RageofNocturne: :: He swallowed and sighed then looked to Brendan-- I am
going to bring the youngest. I cannot ignore her wish to see her father. --he
said and stepped over his padded clawed hand reaching down to lift the
youngest daughters body-D-
Tesarik One: Her body just lay there, hissing nothing now. But, the oldest
daughter spoke up, "Do not accuse Mother of anything! We did nothing to
deserve this...hell."
The Lunar Beacon: "Leave the body. You know not what it carries, or what
will come of such a thing." He spoke a bit briskly to John, not wanting him
to touch her, hoping he stopped him in time.
Tesarik One: Oh the body is most definitely diseased, and torn apart.
Tesarik One: John if you are touching the body, roll an Endurance.

dwarf "did you not hear what i said before this all started, it was only the
father who killed the servant and pissed off the gods!"
RageofNocturne: + 2=14)
The Lunar Beacon: He crossed himself as the warning was not delivered in
time, taking a step backwards reflexively before catching himself.
Mighty Gar thog: Servant? Thought it was a guest?
Tales0fBeauty: *guest
Tesarik One: Fail. As you move the body, clouds of black smoke waft off the
twisted bodies, and you begin to feel sick. You find it hard to breathe, your
lungs are effected. (-2 to Strike until Cure Disease)
autumn chrysalis: Ferret just flit back and forth wringing her hands not
really sure what she should do. Hunting for cakes was so much easier.
Tesarik One: It was a guest.
Tesarik One: If anyone decides to traverse down the carpeted hallway, you
can make out a figure sitting on the steps, slumped to the side. A huge
figure. The carpet raises puffs of heavy dust causing you all to cough as you
move through it.
Tesarik Five: He looked back at the others. The lock and door was open...So
he blinked at the others before he waved over at them. "Big doors in there."
And then off he went into the hallway, up to the big doors, that he had no
chance at opening,
Mighty Gar thog: I still think we should try to restore their bodies to
them. I'll donate my share of any treasure to do so.
Tesarik Five: so he waited for someone larger than himself to help him.
Tales0fBeauty: She would sigh to john "you should not touch unholy cursed
things, even paladins are leary of doing so and we can usually remove that
stuff!" she looked to the others "well i dont know about you all but we
should go see if we can
Tesarik One: You need True Rezz to even begin to contemplate rezzing them.
Tales0fBeauty: find the father!" and she was off following warren!
Tales0fBeauty: She didnt have true rezz!
Mighty Gar thog: (That can be purchased, correct?)
SwordOfAtrophy: Jane would turn, and head down the hall. The reason for the
curse lie ahead, and she was determined to find answers, it was the least
that could be done.
Tesarik One: Thick cobwebs tear apart as you move through them. Upon the
stairs is a dark figure slumped against the wall.
The Lunar Beacon: Well, he'd gone and picked her up, so he set off down the
hallway, making sure to steer clear of him while he held the body. He'd
administer healing afterwards, hoping the head of the house would not return
to his body to wreak
Tales0fBeauty: (no that is a skill only healers can get)
The Lunar Beacon: havoc upon them all upon seeing the daughter.
Tesarik Five: Or stops near the slumped body. Just watching it.
RageofNocturne: :: Well he wasnt feeling well to begin with since feeling
fear from the hounds so this feeling was well. didnt bother him much more
than that. So he would carry the body with himself up the way-D-
Tesarik One: (You can purchase true rezz for 10,000gp)
psionic wanderer: "Once again, that would be horrible. What ar eyou
thinking, rezzing someone that long dead?" He scowled at the dwarf, then
started down the hallway with Brendan, staying clear from the corpse bearer
as well, and tightening his scarf
psionic wanderer: a bit to try and keep out that dust.
Mighty Gar thog: (Look at the list in Emporium, Tales. lots of things can be
bought)
Tesarik One: (from the "services rendered" but remember folks, sometimes it
is not the best idea to rezz someone, remember Queen of Dunsany, rezzed after
hundreds of years. into a world she did not understand)
Tesarik One: (I would caution against it, but I will not forceyou to do so,
but letting their spirtis free in some way is the better course of action.
rezzing is just not always the answer)
SwordOfAtrophy: (It's not an end all be all solution either)
Tales0fBeauty: (nope it is not)
Tesarik One: This figure is Xagarn, though you all do not know his name of
course. The count's personal bodyguard. Loyal to his death, this huge man
died puking out his rotten innards into his lap (like the countess) and his
shriveled corpose is
The Lunar Beacon: "Talk of restoring them to life is folly. Put it out of
your minds, no matter how noble you think it to be. Remember back to what
brought this calamity. If the gods wished them to live, they would not have
died the way they did."
Mighty Gar thog: ~To a dwarf a century was onl;y part of a lifetime. He went
in after the others, to see the one on the chair~
Tales0fBeauty: She wanst there anymore she was going down the newly opened
hallway with warren.
Tesarik One: encrusted with the gruesom dried remnants. But you should know
by now the dead do not rest well in this cursed keep........
Tales0fBeauty: but she agreed with the paladin and gerry!

she'd whirl around a bit and then flick off after them, leaving the bigpeople
to worry over deadpeopl
autumn chrysalis: deadpeople*.

that was on you let up. So you won't have the fearstricken when we go Friday.
