genghisdon Has entered the room
genghisdon: hello
Smon: Including the bonus at 1st
Smon: Hi genghis
Goonergeezer: hiya
genghisdon: we expecting anyone else?
Smon: After a week of rest & training it's 2/6, the weather is getting warm. Tabitha Kallent is starting to get worried about Aunt Gertrude coming to pick her up when the summer term finishes at the end of the month.
corum: hey don!
genghisdon: hi
genghisdon: (hope u roll better than i did!)
Smon: He got 7+1
genghisdon: cool
Mablir Dorlig Has entered the room
Smon: Hi Mab!
Mablir Dorlig: Hi folks _ I'm a little the worse for wear but....
Smon: You have been training a week, can roll level-up hp & tell me your new spell selection.
Mablir Dorlig rolls 1d8 and gets:
5,
corum: evening mabs, Shw mae?
Mablir Dorlig: B4 spells - where are we?
Smon: in town
Smon: Corak will have spent a week being instructed by the Temple priests of the Great Church.
Mablir Dorlig: (Seriously wrecked after Rugby, Cardiff to beat Liverpool tomorrow and I'll die a happy man)
corum: (cool, tall order though)
Smon: @Flynn & Morganna - Hawkes had Gulaza chained up again after she tried to escape.
Smon: /roll 1d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets:
7,
corum: ah yes, Flynn will not go to bed just yet, he questions the man at arms "what is the meaning of this, who chained this woman up?"
Smon: Morganna's charm doesn't seem to make Gulaza well-disposed to anyone else.
genghisdon: hey mab
Mablir Dorlig: Spell list L1 - CLW x 3, Sanctuary, Command L2 Chant, Hold Person
genghisdon: Morganna will talk to ppor Gulaza
Smon: Footman: "Sir Ulrich had her chained up after she near strangled Old Bert, sir."
corum: (you going to the match mabs?)
Mablir Dorlig: (Being picked up 07:30)
corum: "fine" Flynn grunts, and heads inside to fetch morganna
genghisdon: @ Gulaza "you don't want to be sent to the mines do you? can't you promise not to escape?"
genghisdon: oops, ok @ Flynn "what's up?'
corum: Flynn tells Morganna "I think she may need your help!"
Smon: Gulaza @Morganna: "You should help me escape. This is an evil place!"
genghisdon: "if I do, what will you do then?"
corum: Flynn waits outside out of earshot
Smon: Gulaza checks that Flynn is out of earshot then answers: "I will return to Dradvil and report to the Master."
Smon: "You should come with me. He could use your talents."
corum: "you come with me" motions to the man at arms
genghisdon: "poor, loyal Gulaza" M gives her a little kiss & caress
Smon: Gulaza doesn't seem very responsive, though she doesn't push Morganna away. "Loyalty is good."
genghisdon: "it is, would you be able to pretend for a while that you are NOT so loyal?"
Smon: "As part of a cunning plan?"
genghisdon: (guess the easterling propogana was flase)
genghisdon: "yes, a cunning plan, one that could get you better treatment for now, and freedom, along with possible great reward later"
genghisdon: "the master would be proud of you, no doubt in my mind"
Smon: Gulaza nods thoughtfully. "If I pretend to have abandoned my allegiance, I could spy on Sir Hawkes and gain much useful information! He seems important to the hierarchy of Yggsburgh. Then when the time is right I will escape!"
genghisdon: "see? but you must rely on me, and my wisdom to help you choose the time"
Smon: Gulaza nods. "Very well. That seems a good plan. Persuade them to unchain me."
Smon: oops
corum: Flynn @ Footman "So how is Hawkes treating you"
Smon: The man nods to Flynn. "Fine, I reckon. Pay is good, food is decent."
genghisdon: "i shall, but as your firsat test in acting the part, let me get Flynn, who \'s soft heart desires you be treated well...I suspect he habours a longing for you...show me you can do this by talking to him, persuade him that you can be set loose"
Smon: Gulaza nods. "Yes."
genghisdon: I go get Flynn "Gulaza would like to talk with you, big fella"
corum: Flynn goes inside "you wait here please yon footman"
corum: Flynn @ Morg "how is she?"
Smon: When Flynn goes in, Gulaza looks at him: "Morganna has persuaded me that I must not try to escape or cause trouble. You can release me. I will be good."
genghisdon: "she has had a turn of heart, it seems"
corum: @ Gulaza "Im glad to hear it, I do not like to see you chained up like this"
Smon: Gulaza nods.
corum: "Sir Hawkes, will need to see you behaving well too, can you show him the same?"
Smon: "yes."
corum: "and can you apologies to the man you attacked?"
Smon: "...Yes."
genghisdon: "very good Gulaza, and yes, we will see to it"
corum: Flynn @ morg "ill go get the footman and get her out of the chains"
Smon: GM: Moving on - after some persuading Hawkes has Gulaza unchained, but tells Morganna to keep a close eye on her - better to keep her with Morganna as a maidservant rather than leave her alone to stew.
genghisdon: "I think we will need to get Hawkes permission first, lets go see him"
genghisdon: well, i wanted to talk to Flynn in private, far from G, first
genghisdon: I am totally unsure this is wise
corum: (cool hawkes has a real way with the ladies!)
genghisdon: unless we set up a chance to send some false intel
genghisdon: she is a dangerous enemy
corum: Flynn talks to morg out of earshot "you seem conserned?"
genghisdon: she is a dedicated esp agent
genghisdon: "yes, perhaps we SHOULD send her to the mines, or gallows Flynn"
genghisdon: "she's totally dedicated to her master, his wicked causes, and our ruin"
genghisdon: "she's a delayed blast fireball, waiting to explode"
corum: @ morg "Hawkes ruin you mean, I dont think she means us any harm"
Smon: lol
genghisdon: "she has utter & complete contempt for you, she mere lied to you due my charm spell"
genghisdon: "it's poosble that by allowing herself to interact with you, and others, she might soften her stance, but she's not like most people Flynn"
corum: "I understand that, I am under no allusion, though I find her most apealing she will never serve another man but her master"
corum: illusion
corum: even :-)
genghisdon: "well, again, never is too long a term to use, but unless she can be swayed, she certainly seems to be"
Smon:
corum: "do you think she is under some magic?"
corum: "some fell wizards spell?"
genghisdon: "do you want to procede with this? I've told her of your attraction , sorry, shall we see what she does with it? "
genghisdon: "she's under MY spell, I suppose I could try to see if there is another spell on her"
corum: "It might be wise?"
genghisdon: M will try a detect magic on Gulaza, see if there is more than 1 charm/enchantement spell on her"
Smon: So you don't release her, instead next day you memorise detect magic?
genghisdon: I think so, but first, "do we go forward, Flynn"
corum: "Though I do not like to see her chained perhaps it is the only option for the time being"
genghisdon: ok, sorry for wating all this time guys...but what does Hawkes think about this plan?
corum: "My mind has been clouded, perhaps we should be concentrating on our adventures?"
genghisdon: I'll tell Gulaza that Hawkes doesn't beleive her for now, and if he agrees to play along, we can free her the next day
genghisdon: @ Flynn "mine too, and we will, tis not long now"
corum: "good plan lets see what the moring brings"
corum: morning
Smon: GM: Detect Magic won't detect if someone is charmed, but Corak could memorise Detect Charm.
genghisdon: but she is chamed, by me
genghisdon: and there could be a geas, ect on her
Mablir Dorlig: (Could have but didn't - maybe tomorrow? if peeps will wait)
genghisdon: no?
Smon: OK, you cast Detect Magic, you detect very faint emanation - could be your Charm spell.
genghisdon: of even greater concern, what does sir hawkes think of this sceme?
Smon: A Geas would detect more strongly.
genghisdon: can i tell the magic type?
Smon: "Hawkes has Gulaza unchained, but tells Morganna to keep a close eye on her - better to keep her with Morganna as a maidservant rather than leave her alone to stew."
genghisdon: yeah, i don't think she's charmed, just LE
genghisdon: all well & good then, though i do encourage gulaza to try to befriend my party, esp Flynn
genghisdon: even if it's pretending to
genghisdon: moving on...
Smon: /roll 1d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets:
64,
genghisdon: (could Corak do a KA on her sometime?"
Smon: Morganna doesn't detect any specific magic type.
genghisdon: ok
Mablir Dorlig: Could KA & DC afta sleep
genghisdon: it's been a week+
corum: Flynn @ Morg "Gulaza seems happier now, we should make plans to head back to the mouths"
Smon: GM: During the week, after Morganna's Det Magic, Corak uses Kno Alignment on Gulaza.
genghisdon: (and what's the plan for action guys? message to Flynn's brother's party? gnoll hunt, bandits, mouths, the mansion?)
Mablir Dorlig: Lets akk DM - Simon can I do KA & DC during time waiting?
genghisdon: ok, mouths it is..but shouldn't we do the mansion on the way first?
Goonergeezer: (go towards the mouths, leave message for flynns brother and see if anything happens on the way
Smon: Gulaza registers as Lawful Evil.
Goonergeezer: (yea back to the chateaux
Smon: Would you like to check anyone else Corak? You can do 10.
genghisdon: (okay then, haw green is on he way, so it's perfect)
genghisdon: (just what Morganna wanted for X-mas, an evil, opposite alignment non lesbian maidservant!)
Mablir Dorlig: I'll trust my friends (Maybe Hawkes tho but not publicly)
genghisdon: (PLEASE do hawkes, i go CG)
genghisdon: (CG for hawkes)
Smon: You just have to get to him within 9 minutes of doing Gulaza.
Smon: Want to ask to see him?
Mablir Dorlig: Was there a time they were togther?
genghisdon: sure, we can confirm Gulaza's wicked heart
genghisdon: lol
Smon: GM: OK, you both report to Hawkes. He nods. "I'm not surprised."
Smon: Corak, you cannot get a 'tell' on Hawkes' alignment, it's occluded.
genghisdon: since Corak is here, I'd like him to preach to her to, it couldn't hurt, and her lawfulness might respond to LG
Smon: Lars Frank is present, want to do him?
Mablir Dorlig: (Note in my little black book)
Mablir Dorlig: Could also do LF and random selection of Hawkes retainers
Smon: "an evil, opposite alignment non lesbian maidservant!" - Perhaps it's not kisses and cuddles she responds to.
genghisdon: prob a maid or 2 on the way, if it matters
Smon: You have to focus on each person 1 minute to do it.
genghisdon: simon, yeah but m don't do the dom thing
genghisdon: & she feels bad enough about charming
Smon: Lars Frank registers as Chaotic Neutral.
Goonergeezer: (if its a beating she wants garrick's your man)
genghisdon: hmm
Mablir Dorlig: I'm deep in thought, also v quiet cos I don't like H and know e don't like me
genghisdon: (lol, send in garrick? what will tabitha think!)
Mablir Dorlig: brb
genghisdon: @ Corak "will you accompany us out on the chateau again father?"
genghisdon: ack
Smon: GM: OK, a week after your return to Yggsburgh, you are rested, trained and ready for more adventure.
genghisdon: cool
genghisdon: lead on gooner
genghisdon: (swamp ghoul this time, i can feel it!)
Goonergeezer: garrick: if we are all ready we should be away to the chateaux
genghisdon: sleep & CH p taken this time
Goonergeezer: garrick takkes the lead on the way out of town, pennant flying high on his lance
Smon: Tabitha tells Garrick that she is being inducted into the Yggsburgh College Sorority, of which Alicia Hawkes is the current head.
Smon: Apparently this is very exciting.
genghisdon: (bet they have new hazing these days!)
genghisdon: brb
Goonergeezer: garrick: i am very excited for you my love you must tell me all when we return laden with gold and jewels
Goonergeezer: before we do leave garrick will try to get a quick word to alicia ands ask her to look after her for me
Smon: Alicia looks very pleased to be asked by Garrick, and smiles warmly. "Oh yes, I will! I like Tabitha very much. There is a little initiation ritual to go through, but nothing to worry about!"
Goonergeezer: garrick: thasnk you very much, she means so much to me
Smon: Alicia nods. "That's very clear!"
Smon: Alicia: "You know, my father was talking the other day about writing to her father... about you."
Smon: "He was saying what a fine fellow you are, and all."
Mablir Dorlig: (back)
genghisdon: (back)
Goonergeezer: garrick: i hope he does soon, before term end and she returns home, if her father disapproves he may forbid her seeing me
Smon: Alicia nods. "Yes. I might have a word with him. Anyway, good luck with your expedition!"
genghisdon: (some one else to visit & or charm?)
Goonergeezer: i am glad he thinks so, now if her own father can feel the same then everything is perfect
Smon: Alicia nods.
Goonergeezer: garrick: yes me must leave soon
Goonergeezer: goodbye alicia i hope we will mett again
genghisdon: (of course you will...don't foreshadow doom gooner!)
Goonergeezer: when everyone is ready we leave
Smon: Alicia: "I certainly hope so - good luck, and bring daddy back something nice!" GM: OK, a bright sunny morning in early summer as you ride out over the moat gate, Garrick's Hawkes penant flying.
Goonergeezer: (garrick keeps on having these black spells)
Smon: Passing farmers bringing wares to market, you head north along the Menhir Hills Road, ca 7 miles to the ford, where you greet the ferryman and his family.
genghisdon: "hello again"
Smon: Jim the ferryman greets you as his wife serves you milk.
Mablir Dorlig: (Gonew back to earlier spell list, I hope)
Smon: Jim: "Going north? Be warned, the Swamp Ghoul is about!"
genghisdon: mmm, does a body good!
genghisdon: "excellent, a rematch!"
Smon: OOC: What is Corak's spell list today? Morganna Sleep x2?
genghisdon: "keep a sharp eye for signs Flynn" M will send lightning out on aerial recon for the monster
genghisdon: sleep & charm person, useless vs the ghoul
Smon: Jim: "Aye, had a gypsy group through yesterday, they said it leapt on a man, dragged him from his horse, into the swamp!"
genghisdon: "poor devil...though it may be sated for now..still we might catch it!"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak: Spell list L1 - CLW x 3, Sanctuary, Command L2 Chant, Hold Person
corum: Flynn will scout ahead looking for signs of the ghoul
genghisdon: & lightning scouts all over, i hope
corum: (are we, looking for the ghoul or avoiding"
Smon: /roll 1d10
Goonergeezer: garrick: perhaps next time we come past the swamp we buy a goat and tie it down as bait for the ghoul?
Smon rolls 1d10 and gets:
1,
genghisdon: looking
genghisdon: "perhaps, though it's diet is human, correct?"
Smon: /roll 1d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets:
09,
genghisdon: "we could tie down one of us?"
Goonergeezer: garrick: how about gulaza?
Mablir Dorlig: Corak "Or maybe Hawkes?" then laughs
genghisdon: "well, I don't think so, but you can ask them guys"
Smon: GM: Did you leave Gulaza behind?
genghisdon: actually, why not bring her?
corum: Flynn would like to tie Gulaza down
corum: or up
genghisdon: I'll need to arm her, what weapons does she say she can use?
Smon: As the ferry starts over the stream, you hear a bell ringing. A coach is at the wharf on the north side of the river, the coachman ringing the bell.
genghisdon: (i really meant it as jest, just free bait, not really tied up)
Mablir Dorlig: (Flynn would like to do that with any female with a pulse)
corum: (it gets lonely in the woods!)
Smon: Gulaza can use dagger & whip proficiently.
genghisdon: can i have Gulaza along with leather, weapons of her choice?
Goonergeezer: (even a very weak pulse)
genghisdon: ok, that's only like 5 GP, & a bunch for some thieves tools right?
Smon: GM: OK, Gulaza is with you, in leather, with daggers.
Smon: ok
genghisdon: yeah, a bandoleer of them
Mablir Dorlig: (without Duvader we probably need a Thief)
genghisdon: i explain to her this will win her the others hearts & minds, for later easy betrayal or conversion to the cause
Goonergeezer: ( yeah we never looked for the npc's we wanted either lol)
genghisdon: should appeal to her
corum: henchmen in Hawfar
corum: hawfair
Smon: Gulaza seems amenable.
genghisdon: @ Gulaza "If we see this ghoul, you keep your distance, even run from it..do NOT engage it"
Smon: /roll 1d4+2
Smon rolls 1d4+2 and gets:
4, (+2) = 6
Smon: You reach the far shore - a nervous looking group of middle-class pilgrims are waiting by the coach. "Come on, man!" says one portly fellow.
genghisdon: (she needs a whip for the cool factor too!)
Smon: A fat lady fans herself. "Oh, it's terrible! Monsters abroad! Shall no one save us?!"
Smon: ok, whip too
genghisdon: "he's doing hard work, we'll be there in moments...why the hurry?"
Mablir Dorlig: (Does Corak recognise any of the holy symbols/etc carried by the pilgrims?)
Goonergeezer: garrick@ pilgrims "have you seen monsters?"
genghisdon: "WE will save you? what monsters? the swamp ghoul?"
genghisdon: (i take the $ off later simon)
corum: Flynn grunts
Smon: The clergyman looks familiar ti Corak - Father Beamish Widders.
Smon: They are clearly Great Church pilgrims, probably been to the Shrine of the Unknown Paladin.
Smon: brb
Mablir Dorlig: Father Beamish - how are you my friend, how does this day find you
Smon: Beamish nods affably to Corak. A devotee of St Parus the Kindly, they have discussed theology several times at the Common Temple.
Smon: Beamish: "Well enough. Madam Bidly fancied she spied the Swamp Ghoul lurking, about five miles back."
genghisdon: "what direction?"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak looks @ comrades "Shall we follow this lead?"
Smon: "North on the road, just south of Grey Pools Mire."
genghisdon: I'll send lightning that way to start his recon
Smon: It's the only road, anyway.
genghisdon: "certainly, this monster evaded us once, but this time we shall prevail"
Smon: You bid the pilgrim coach farewell, and head north.
Smon: /roll 1d10
Smon rolls 1d10 and gets:

corum: Flynn draws crossbow and heads off
genghisdon: M strinfs her bow

Smon: /roll 1d6
genghisdon: i believe we are
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:

Smon: GM: Lightning doesn't spot anything, but about 5 miles/1 hour's ride through the hills north of the Urt river, you are coming down to the flat land edging the Mire when Flynn spots something suspicious in the ditch to the right of the trail, a mound of rotting vegetation that seems out of place.
corum: Flynn signals Morg without talking
genghisdon: m looks where flynn directs
corum: what is the sign for rotting vegetation that looks out of place?
genghisdon: (a big pile, a lair?)
corum: (we making Gulaza the bait?"
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
3,
Smon: A man-sized pile.
genghisdon: "no, I'm better bait, it can't paralyze me"
Smon: About 6' long, maybe 2' deep.
genghisdon: Though i'd like to shoot the damn thing
genghisdon: "any of us have spears or pole arms?"
Smon: Garrick has a lance with penant
Goonergeezer: garrick: i have my lance
genghisdon: "stab the centre of the pile, then ride back
Goonergeezer: garrick: do we think its the ghoul?
Smon: be away 5-10 mins for dinner
Smon: brb
genghisdon: "it could be, else someones' foul play hidden"
Goonergeezer: garrick if so i shall charge it with my lance at the same time shhot your arrows into it, at worst we lose a few arrowns
genghisdon: i am not sure it's wise to charge your lance into the ground
Goonergeezer: garrick : at best the ghol is dead and we are victorious
genghisdon: you'll unhorse yourself
genghisdon: sure, we can start shooting it i supose
Goonergeezer: garrick if i aim to the top of the pile it might be ok?
Goonergeezer: garrick: i say we all pepper it with arrows
genghisdon: then u wont really hit it, though, right?
genghisdon: i dunno, 6" of muck might stop them all too
Goonergeezer: we all loose a volley of arrows ansd see what happens i saty
corum: Do we have a torch?
genghisdon: but, as u said, it can't hurt too much
genghisdon: M has torches
corum: lets burn it!
genghisdon: for burning stuff, not light, use away
corum: light one throw it at the pile
genghisdon: it's wet swamp muck, i dunno about burning either
corum: it might wake it so we can shoot it
genghisdon: M hands Corak a torch
corum: Flynn is not going near that thing after last time!
genghisdon: lol
Goonergeezer: garrick: a wise man, arrows it is then
Mablir Dorlig: (Not sure I'm profficient in the Torch but hey...)
genghisdon: (nobody is, & it's not edged, so u should be good to go)
genghisdon: (figure the rest of us will shoot it)
genghisdon: brb
genghisdon: "u want a couple torches Corak?"
genghisdon: heh, you are like L4 now, maybe u can just turn it away at need!
Smon: back
genghisdon: we shoot a few volleys of arrows/bolts into the pile
Mablir Dorlig: Is a Swamp Ghoul undead? would rather kill it anyway, keep the turn for last resort
genghisdon: yes
Mablir Dorlig: and a torch or 3
genghisdon: m gave some torches to Corak
corum: Flynn readies xbow
Goonergeezer: garrick nocks an arrow
genghisdon: "ready a throwing dagger Gulaza, the rest of you..fire!"
Goonergeezer: garrick : we aint gonna get paralysed this time
genghisdon: ( i luv how scared everyone is of the damn swamp ghoul..lol)
corum: Flynn "one each and then hold fire, im not sure it be there!
genghisdon: (my worry it is just runs/swims off cause we are cowardly)
Goonergeezer: (i remember last time i could of been ghoul food)
genghisdon: (we were like L1 last time)

corum: hey Eli!
Eliana: Which one there is so many... ?
genghisdon: ouch! burns us, she does!
Eliana sneaking nearby the fireplace....
Smon: There's an angry hiss from the pile and it leaps to its feet, you can make out the vaguely humanoid form of the ghoul beneath the swamp foliage, which appears to be bonded with the monster. One of Garrick's arrows sticks out from its back, the rest fall off.

Smon: It had 9 left BTW
Smon: The creature falls atop the paralysed Gulaza.
genghisdon: sweet! M leaps to get Gulaza outa the swamp, then uses the horse to pull us out
Mablir Dorlig: (Sorry folks I had intended to stay longer but my alcohol intake was excessive this afternoon and another long day tomorrow, gotta go)

Goonergeezer: garrick@ all "Yay! a public spanking"
Smon: back
genghisdon: for starters...
Smon: Gulaza's eyes look fearfully(?) at Morganna
Smon: OOC: Well done!
Smon: Slowly the paralysis wears off Corak & Gulaza. You get the heavy weight of the headless monster back onto the road.
genghisdon: m whispers in her ear "but you were very brave & heroic too" nibble her ear a bit, kiss her forhead
Smon: M's just too nice for her own good
genghisdon: looting time..M hacks it to pieces in the end
genghisdon: (well, if i MUST be a dominatrix, I'll have to mix it up in some fashion)
Smon: The creature is a rotten human corpse, the vegetation on it also seems rank and fetid, almost un-dead itself. Its talons are long.
genghisdon: (I'm not an expert, but isn't the fear/pain combo with pleasure the point?)
Smon: It has no clothes or possessions.
genghisdon: anything in it's guts, ect?
corum: Flynn @ Morg "back to yggs with the head then?"
genghisdon: I'll scatter is severed parts about he swamp, save for the head, G has sacked
Smon: (@genghis: Yes, but "You were naughty... but brave *kiss*!" isn't really enough I suspect
Goonergeezer: garrick: how long do you think the head will keep?
genghisdon: @ Flynn "if you wish, sure" Simon: who had the reward out for the ghoul?
Smon: You spill its foul guts - good idea, I'll give you a roll...

genghisdon: 6 GP each?
Smon: GM: So you're riding back to Yggsburgh to drop the head off at the Hawkes estate?
Goonergeezer: garrick: what shall we do then? carry on or quickly go back?
genghisdon: well, we drop the head off for bounty
corum: (can we carry a ghouls head around with us?)
Goonergeezer: ok we all double time back
genghisdon: to be sent to the hawkes
genghisdon: (why not corum?)
Goonergeezer: (it might go off tho)
Smon: (in a leather bag, why not? It's off already!)
genghisdon: can Mab/corak cast CLW on himself & Gulaza?
Goonergeezer: then lets carry on the money will wait
Goonergeezer: garrick the undecisive
genghisdon: we have no time concerns really, do we
corum: Flynn @ Garrick "keep that thing away from me then"
genghisdon: lets give the hawkes some good PR
Goonergeezer: (no)
genghisdon: we go back
Smon: Corak is recovered, prob best we stop there & I'll post your XP. It's 11am now so you could potentially get back to Yggsburgh by 2pm and still be back to Hawfair before dusk? Or if you want to get to the Dark Chateau today you should press on.
genghisdon: it should take long chat time...but a bit in game time
genghisdon: Yggsburgh

genghisdon: "The ghoul is gone' Morg tells the ferryman"tell all that pass the good news & That the Hawke's men did the deed"
Smon: The ferryman nods happily. You're about a mile from Yggsburgh and it's a bit after 1pm when you see a knight in shining armour approaching, accompanied by half a dozen retainers.
genghisdon: are we continuing?
Smon: He raises a gauntleted hand. "Ho there, friends! What news from the road?"
Smon: (5-8 mins)
genghisdon: (waits for garrick)
Goonergeezer: garrick: greeting sir knight
genghisdon: nudges garrick
corum: Flynn hangs back
Goonergeezer: garrick we are hawkes men we come from beyond the river we have slain the swamp ghoul which has been terrorising the area
Goonergeezer: garrick: may we enquire as to your destination sir knight?
Smon: The man looks crestfallen. "What? But I, Sir Percifal of Kallent, am sworn to dispatch the beast!"]
genghisdon: (is Flynn willing/wanting to help in Gulaza's punishment?)
Smon: "...I have travelled many leagues to face the monster! Alas and alack!"
Smon: "...Er, I don't suppose you know of any other monsters in the vicinity?"
genghisdon: "there are many more monsters to be slain, Sir Percifal, join with us, and you shall become legend!"
Goonergeezer: garrick: sir we are to go back to yggsburgh to inform the populace of what we have done then we are straight back on the road to the dark chataux, would you like to accompany us there?
Smon: Sir Percifal regards your swamp-muddied acoutrements.
Smon: /roll 1d100+5
Smon rolls 1d100+5 and gets:95, (+5) = 100
Smon:
Smon: "The Dark Chateau, eh? That sounds most intriguing!"
genghisdon: "don't let the filth of combat fool your judgement, sir"
genghisdon: no one can resist morganna's elf powers!
Smon: Sir Percifal nods happily. "Your master is Sir Hawkes? A good friend of the Kallents! This is a most fortuitous meeting!"
genghisdon: i gotta go, back in 10, if that;s it, thnx for the game all
genghisdon: (and for Garrick)
Smon: (OOC: The one time you never roll low is those major Reaction checks!)

genghisdon Has entered the room

Smon: Including the bonus at 1st
Smon: Hi genghis
Goonergeezer: hiya
genghisdon: we expecting anyone else?
Smon: After a week of rest & training it's 2/6, the weather is getting warm. Tabitha Kallent is starting to get worried about Aunt Gertrude coming to pick her up when the summer term finishes at the end of the month.

Smon: He got 7+1

Mablir Dorlig: B4 spells - where are we?

Smon: Corak will have spent a week being instructed by the Temple priests of the Great Church.
Mablir Dorlig: (Seriously wrecked after Rugby, Cardiff to beat Liverpool tomorrow and I'll die a happy man)
corum: (cool, tall order though)
Smon: @Flynn & Morganna - Hawkes had Gulaza chained up again after she tried to escape.
Smon: /roll 1d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets:
7,corum: ah yes, Flynn will not go to bed just yet, he questions the man at arms "what is the meaning of this, who chained this woman up?"
Smon: Morganna's charm doesn't seem to make Gulaza well-disposed to anyone else.
genghisdon: hey mab
Mablir Dorlig: Spell list L1 - CLW x 3, Sanctuary, Command L2 Chant, Hold Person
genghisdon: Morganna will talk to ppor Gulaza
Smon: Footman: "Sir Ulrich had her chained up after she near strangled Old Bert, sir."
corum: (you going to the match mabs?)
Mablir Dorlig: (Being picked up 07:30)
corum: "fine" Flynn grunts, and heads inside to fetch morganna
genghisdon: @ Gulaza "you don't want to be sent to the mines do you? can't you promise not to escape?"
genghisdon: oops, ok @ Flynn "what's up?'
corum: Flynn tells Morganna "I think she may need your help!"
Smon: Gulaza @Morganna: "You should help me escape. This is an evil place!"
genghisdon: "if I do, what will you do then?"
corum: Flynn waits outside out of earshot
Smon: Gulaza checks that Flynn is out of earshot
then answers: "I will return to Dradvil and report to the Master."Smon: "You should come with me. He could use your talents."
corum: "you come with me" motions to the man at arms
genghisdon: "poor, loyal Gulaza" M gives her a little kiss & caress
Smon: Gulaza doesn't seem very responsive, though she doesn't push Morganna away. "Loyalty is good."
genghisdon: "it is, would you be able to pretend for a while that you are NOT so loyal?"
Smon: "As part of a cunning plan?"
genghisdon: (guess the easterling propogana was flase)
genghisdon: "yes, a cunning plan, one that could get you better treatment for now, and freedom, along with possible great reward later"
genghisdon: "the master would be proud of you, no doubt in my mind"
Smon: Gulaza nods thoughtfully. "If I pretend to have abandoned my allegiance, I could spy on Sir Hawkes and gain much useful information! He seems important to the hierarchy of Yggsburgh. Then when the time is right I will escape!"
genghisdon: "see? but you must rely on me, and my wisdom to help you choose the time"
Smon: Gulaza nods. "Very well. That seems a good plan. Persuade them to unchain me."
Smon: oops
corum: Flynn @ Footman "So how is Hawkes treating you"
Smon: The man nods to Flynn. "Fine, I reckon. Pay is good, food is decent."
genghisdon: "i shall, but as your firsat test in acting the part, let me get Flynn, who \'s soft heart desires you be treated well...I suspect he habours a longing for you...show me you can do this by talking to him, persuade him that you can be set loose"
Smon: Gulaza nods. "Yes."
genghisdon: I go get Flynn "Gulaza would like to talk with you, big fella"
corum: Flynn goes inside "you wait here please yon footman"
corum: Flynn @ Morg "how is she?"
Smon: When Flynn goes in, Gulaza looks at him: "Morganna has persuaded me that I must not try to escape or cause trouble. You can release me. I will be good."
genghisdon: "she has had a turn of heart, it seems"
corum: @ Gulaza "Im glad to hear it, I do not like to see you chained up like this"
Smon: Gulaza nods.
corum: "Sir Hawkes, will need to see you behaving well too, can you show him the same?"
Smon: "yes."
corum: "and can you apologies to the man you attacked?"
Smon: "...Yes."
genghisdon: "very good Gulaza, and yes, we will see to it"
corum: Flynn @ morg "ill go get the footman and get her out of the chains"
Smon: GM: Moving on - after some persuading Hawkes has Gulaza unchained, but tells Morganna to keep a close eye on her - better to keep her with Morganna as a maidservant rather than leave her alone to stew.
genghisdon: "I think we will need to get Hawkes permission first, lets go see him"
genghisdon: well, i wanted to talk to Flynn in private, far from G, first
genghisdon: I am totally unsure this is wise
corum: (cool
hawkes has a real way with the ladies!)genghisdon: unless we set up a chance to send some false intel
genghisdon: she is a dangerous enemy
corum: Flynn talks to morg out of earshot "you seem conserned?"
genghisdon: she is a dedicated esp agent
genghisdon: "yes, perhaps we SHOULD send her to the mines, or gallows Flynn"
genghisdon: "she's totally dedicated to her master, his wicked causes, and our ruin"
genghisdon: "she's a delayed blast fireball, waiting to explode"
corum: @ morg "Hawkes ruin you mean, I dont think she means us any harm"
Smon: lol
genghisdon: "she has utter & complete contempt for you, she mere lied to you due my charm spell"
genghisdon: "it's poosble that by allowing herself to interact with you, and others, she might soften her stance, but she's not like most people Flynn"
corum: "I understand that, I am under no allusion, though I find her most apealing she will never serve another man but her master"
corum: illusion
corum: even :-)
genghisdon: "well, again, never is too long a term to use, but unless she can be swayed, she certainly seems to be"
Smon:
corum: "do you think she is under some magic?"
corum: "some fell wizards spell?"
genghisdon: "do you want to procede with this? I've told her of your attraction , sorry, shall we see what she does with it? "
genghisdon: "she's under MY spell, I suppose I could try to see if there is another spell on her"
corum: "It might be wise?"
genghisdon: M will try a detect magic on Gulaza, see if there is more than 1 charm/enchantement spell on her"
Smon: So you don't release her, instead next day you memorise detect magic?
genghisdon: I think so, but first, "do we go forward, Flynn"
corum: "Though I do not like to see her chained perhaps it is the only option for the time being"
genghisdon: ok, sorry for wating all this time guys...but what does Hawkes think about this plan?
corum: "My mind has been clouded, perhaps we should be concentrating on our adventures?"
genghisdon: I'll tell Gulaza that Hawkes doesn't beleive her for now, and if he agrees to play along, we can free her the next day
genghisdon: @ Flynn "mine too, and we will, tis not long now"
corum: "good plan lets see what the moring brings"
corum: morning
Smon: GM: Detect Magic won't detect if someone is charmed, but Corak could memorise Detect Charm.
genghisdon: but she is chamed, by me
genghisdon: and there could be a geas, ect on her
Mablir Dorlig: (Could have but didn't - maybe tomorrow? if peeps will wait)
genghisdon: no?
Smon: OK, you cast Detect Magic, you detect very faint emanation - could be your Charm spell.
genghisdon: of even greater concern, what does sir hawkes think of this sceme?
Smon: A Geas would detect more strongly.
genghisdon: can i tell the magic type?
Smon: "Hawkes has Gulaza unchained, but tells Morganna to keep a close eye on her - better to keep her with Morganna as a maidservant rather than leave her alone to stew."
genghisdon: yeah, i don't think she's charmed, just LE
genghisdon: all well & good then, though i do encourage gulaza to try to befriend my party, esp Flynn
genghisdon: even if it's pretending to
genghisdon: moving on...
Smon: /roll 1d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets:
64,genghisdon: (could Corak do a KA on her sometime?"
Smon: Morganna doesn't detect any specific magic type.
genghisdon: ok
Mablir Dorlig: Could KA & DC afta sleep
genghisdon: it's been a week+
corum: Flynn @ Morg "Gulaza seems happier now, we should make plans to head back to the mouths"
Smon: GM: During the week, after Morganna's Det Magic, Corak uses Kno Alignment on Gulaza.
genghisdon: (and what's the plan for action guys? message to Flynn's brother's party? gnoll hunt, bandits, mouths, the mansion?)
Mablir Dorlig: Lets akk DM - Simon can I do KA & DC during time waiting?
genghisdon: ok, mouths it is..but shouldn't we do the mansion on the way first?
Goonergeezer: (go towards the mouths, leave message for flynns brother and see if anything happens on the way
Smon: Gulaza registers as Lawful Evil.
Goonergeezer: (yea back to the chateaux
Smon: Would you like to check anyone else Corak? You can do 10.
genghisdon: (okay then, haw green is on he way, so it's perfect)
genghisdon: (just what Morganna wanted for X-mas, an evil, opposite alignment non lesbian maidservant!)
Mablir Dorlig: I'll trust my friends (Maybe Hawkes tho but not publicly)
genghisdon: (PLEASE do hawkes, i go CG)
genghisdon: (CG for hawkes)
Smon: You just have to get to him within 9 minutes of doing Gulaza.
Smon: Want to ask to see him?
Mablir Dorlig: Was there a time they were togther?
genghisdon: sure, we can confirm Gulaza's wicked heart
genghisdon: lol
Smon: GM: OK, you both report to Hawkes. He nods. "I'm not surprised."
Smon: Corak, you cannot get a 'tell' on Hawkes' alignment, it's occluded.
genghisdon: since Corak is here, I'd like him to preach to her to, it couldn't hurt, and her lawfulness might respond to LG
Smon: Lars Frank is present, want to do him?
Mablir Dorlig: (Note in my little black book)
Mablir Dorlig: Could also do LF and random selection of Hawkes retainers
Smon: "an evil, opposite alignment non lesbian maidservant!" - Perhaps it's not kisses and cuddles she responds to.
genghisdon: prob a maid or 2 on the way, if it matters
Smon: You have to focus on each person 1 minute to do it.
genghisdon: simon, yeah but m don't do the dom thing
genghisdon: & she feels bad enough about charming
Smon: Lars Frank registers as Chaotic Neutral.
Goonergeezer: (if its a beating she wants garrick's your man)
genghisdon: hmm
Mablir Dorlig: I'm deep in thought, also v quiet cos I don't like H and know e don't like me
genghisdon: (lol, send in garrick? what will tabitha think!)
Mablir Dorlig: brb
genghisdon: @ Corak "will you accompany us out on the chateau again father?"
genghisdon: ack
Smon: GM: OK, a week after your return to Yggsburgh, you are rested, trained and ready for more adventure.
genghisdon: cool

Goonergeezer: garrick: if we are all ready we should be away to the chateaux
genghisdon: sleep & CH p taken this time
Goonergeezer: garrick takkes the lead on the way out of town, pennant flying high on his lance
Smon: Tabitha tells Garrick that she is being inducted into the Yggsburgh College Sorority, of which Alicia Hawkes is the current head.
Smon: Apparently this is very exciting.
genghisdon: (bet they have new hazing these days!)
genghisdon: brb
Goonergeezer: garrick: i am very excited for you my love you must tell me all when we return laden with gold and jewels
Goonergeezer: before we do leave garrick will try to get a quick word to alicia ands ask her to look after her for me
Smon: Alicia looks very pleased to be asked by Garrick, and smiles warmly. "Oh yes, I will! I like Tabitha very much. There is a little initiation ritual to go through, but nothing to worry about!"
Goonergeezer: garrick: thasnk you very much, she means so much to me
Smon: Alicia nods. "That's very clear!"
Smon: Alicia: "You know, my father was talking the other day about writing to her father... about you."
Smon: "He was saying what a fine fellow you are, and all."
Mablir Dorlig: (back)
genghisdon: (back)
Goonergeezer: garrick: i hope he does soon, before term end and she returns home, if her father disapproves he may forbid her seeing me
Smon: Alicia nods. "Yes. I might have a word with him. Anyway, good luck with your expedition!"
genghisdon: (some one else to visit & or charm?)
Goonergeezer: i am glad he thinks so, now if her own father can feel the same then everything is perfect
Smon: Alicia nods.
Goonergeezer: garrick: yes me must leave soon
Goonergeezer: goodbye alicia i hope we will mett again
genghisdon: (of course you will...don't foreshadow doom gooner!)
Goonergeezer: when everyone is ready we leave
Smon: Alicia: "I certainly hope so - good luck, and bring daddy back something nice!" GM: OK, a bright sunny morning in early summer as you ride out over the moat gate, Garrick's Hawkes penant flying.
Goonergeezer: (garrick keeps on having these black spells)
Smon: Passing farmers bringing wares to market, you head north along the Menhir Hills Road, ca 7 miles to the ford, where you greet the ferryman and his family.
genghisdon: "hello again"
Smon: Jim the ferryman greets you as his wife serves you milk.
Mablir Dorlig: (Gonew back to earlier spell list, I hope)
Smon: Jim: "Going north? Be warned, the Swamp Ghoul is about!"
genghisdon: mmm, does a body good!
genghisdon: "excellent, a rematch!"
Smon: OOC: What is Corak's spell list today? Morganna Sleep x2?
genghisdon: "keep a sharp eye for signs Flynn" M will send lightning out on aerial recon for the monster
genghisdon: sleep & charm person, useless vs the ghoul
Smon: Jim: "Aye, had a gypsy group through yesterday, they said it leapt on a man, dragged him from his horse, into the swamp!"
genghisdon: "poor devil...though it may be sated for now..still we might catch it!"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak: Spell list L1 - CLW x 3, Sanctuary, Command L2 Chant, Hold Person
corum: Flynn will scout ahead looking for signs of the ghoul
genghisdon: & lightning scouts all over, i hope
corum: (are we, looking for the ghoul or avoiding"
Smon: /roll 1d10
Goonergeezer: garrick: perhaps next time we come past the swamp we buy a goat and tie it down as bait for the ghoul?
Smon rolls 1d10 and gets:
1,genghisdon: looking
genghisdon: "perhaps, though it's diet is human, correct?"
Smon: /roll 1d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets:
09,genghisdon: "we could tie down one of us?"
Goonergeezer: garrick: how about gulaza?
Mablir Dorlig: Corak "Or maybe Hawkes?" then laughs
genghisdon: "well, I don't think so, but you can ask them guys"
Smon: GM: Did you leave Gulaza behind?
genghisdon: actually, why not bring her?
corum: Flynn would like to tie Gulaza down
corum: or up
genghisdon: I'll need to arm her, what weapons does she say she can use?
Smon: As the ferry starts over the stream, you hear a bell ringing. A coach is at the wharf on the north side of the river, the coachman ringing the bell.
genghisdon: (i really meant it as jest, just free bait, not really tied up)
Mablir Dorlig: (Flynn would like to do that with any female with a pulse)
corum: (it gets lonely in the woods!)
Smon: Gulaza can use dagger & whip proficiently.
genghisdon: can i have Gulaza along with leather, weapons of her choice?
Goonergeezer: (even a very weak pulse)
genghisdon: ok, that's only like 5 GP, & a bunch for some thieves tools right?
Smon: GM: OK, Gulaza is with you, in leather, with daggers.
Smon: ok
genghisdon: yeah, a bandoleer of them
Mablir Dorlig: (without Duvader we probably need a Thief)
genghisdon: i explain to her this will win her the others hearts & minds, for later easy betrayal or conversion to the cause
Goonergeezer: ( yeah we never looked for the npc's we wanted either lol)
genghisdon: should appeal to her
corum: henchmen in Hawfar
corum: hawfair
Smon: Gulaza seems amenable.

Smon: /roll 1d4+2
Smon rolls 1d4+2 and gets:
4, (+2) = 6 Smon: You reach the far shore - a nervous looking group of middle-class pilgrims are waiting by the coach. "Come on, man!" says one portly fellow.
genghisdon: (she needs a whip for the cool factor too!)
Smon: A fat lady fans herself. "Oh, it's terrible! Monsters abroad! Shall no one save us?!"
Smon: ok, whip too
genghisdon: "he's doing hard work, we'll be there in moments...why the hurry?"
Mablir Dorlig: (Does Corak recognise any of the holy symbols/etc carried by the pilgrims?)
Goonergeezer: garrick@ pilgrims "have you seen monsters?"
genghisdon: "WE will save you? what monsters? the swamp ghoul?"
genghisdon: (i take the $ off later simon)
corum: Flynn grunts
Smon: The clergyman looks familiar ti Corak - Father Beamish Widders.
Smon: They are clearly Great Church pilgrims, probably been to the Shrine of the Unknown Paladin.
Smon: brb
Mablir Dorlig: Father Beamish - how are you my friend, how does this day find you
Smon: Beamish nods affably to Corak. A devotee of St Parus the Kindly, they have discussed theology several times at the Common Temple.
Smon: Beamish: "Well enough. Madam Bidly fancied she spied the Swamp Ghoul lurking, about five miles back."
genghisdon: "what direction?"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak looks @ comrades "Shall we follow this lead?"
Smon: "North on the road, just south of Grey Pools Mire."
genghisdon: I'll send lightning that way to start his recon
Smon: It's the only road, anyway.
genghisdon: "certainly, this monster evaded us once, but this time we shall prevail"
Smon: You bid the pilgrim coach farewell, and head north.

corum: Flynn signals Morg without talking

Smon: The ferryman nods happily. You're about a mile from Yggsburgh and it's a bit after 1pm when you see a knight in shining armour approaching, accompanied by half a dozen retainers.
genghisdon: are we continuing?
Smon: He raises a gauntleted hand. "Ho there, friends! What news from the road?"
Smon: (5-8 mins)
genghisdon: (waits for garrick)
Goonergeezer: garrick: greeting sir knight
genghisdon: nudges garrick
corum: Flynn hangs back
Goonergeezer: garrick we are hawkes men we come from beyond the river we have slain the swamp ghoul which has been terrorising the area
Goonergeezer: garrick: may we enquire as to your destination sir knight?
Smon: The man looks crestfallen. "What? But I, Sir Percifal of Kallent, am sworn to dispatch the beast!"]
genghisdon: (is Flynn willing/wanting to help in Gulaza's punishment?)
Smon: "...I have travelled many leagues to face the monster! Alas and alack!"
Smon: "...Er, I don't suppose you know of any other monsters in the vicinity?"
genghisdon: "there are many more monsters to be slain, Sir Percifal, join with us, and you shall become legend!"
Goonergeezer: garrick: sir we are to go back to yggsburgh to inform the populace of what we have done then we are straight back on the road to the dark chataux, would you like to accompany us there?
Smon: Sir Percifal regards your swamp-muddied acoutrements.
Smon: /roll 1d100+5
Smon rolls 1d100+5 and gets:
95, (+5) = 100 Smon:
Smon: "The Dark Chateau, eh? That sounds most intriguing!"
genghisdon: "don't let the filth of combat fool your judgement, sir"
genghisdon: no one can resist morganna's elf powers!
Smon: Sir Percifal nods happily. "Your master is Sir Hawkes? A good friend of the Kallents! This is a most fortuitous meeting!"
genghisdon: i gotta go, back in 10, if that;s it, thnx for the game all
genghisdon: (and for Garrick)
Smon: (OOC: The one time you never roll low is those major Reaction checks!)
Smon:
whilst riding back garrick eyes Sir Percifal of Kallent's retainers, are they just servants to pitch tents, look after horses etc or are the men-at-arms?
ReplyDeleteThey're all men at arms, armoured in light chain hauberks.
ReplyDelete(Oh good cannon fodder)we could actually use them to fortify the chataux when we clear it and use that as a base of operations for a while fingers crossed it should be easy to clear, Dolf Dragonheart claimed he cleared the dark chataux........ see if he was exaggerating when we get inside though :-)
