Kiergath: He does so
Shenvallei: “Hands behind your back!” Tie him up if he complies. Then gag him.
Kiergath: you do so
Van: “Can’t we finish the bastard off anyway? He wrecked my brand new shirt!”
Shenvallei: Search him.
Kiergath: dagger, spell component pouches
Shenvallei: No spell book?
Kiergath: Nope
Shenvallei: “A gods damned sorcerer!” I smack him across the face.

• Van sighs and drags his sorry ass (Van’s) over to the bookshelves and begins pulling books out. *
  Kiergath: novels, histories
  Shenvallei: Pick up the book he was reading.
  Kiergath: “Elminster’s Guide to Volo’s Guides”
  Shenvallei: Pocket it.
  Kiergath: you do so
  Shenvallei: I look at the dagger on the ground.
  Shenvallei: normal looking?
  Kiergath: Normal materials.. very good quality.
  Shenvallei: Ill take it anyway. And hold it to his throat.
  Shenvallei: Then ungag him “one wrong move and you are finished.”
  Shenvallei: “Now we are going to ask you a bunch of questions. And we want them answered immediately.”
  Kiergath: He nods, once.
  Shenvallei: “Where is the githyanki half fiend who bears the silver sword of his father?”
  Kiergath: The githyanki blinks in confusion, “Half fiend? Bearing a silver sword? Theres only one githyanki half fiend here, and you’re travelling with her!”
  Shenvallei: “Her brother you fool. Her brother is among you and is the true half-fiend!”
  Van: Walk over to the man, Halberd upended, blade down
  Van: I assume he’s still on the ground
  Kiergath: I assume so
  Van: “Give us the location of Yi’minn, now.”
  Van: “No more games.”
  Shenvallei: “Tell us what we want to know and this wont be unpleasant for you.”
  Kiergath: “Sigil, waiting for news of Ki’ina’s whereabouts. You know this, you met with him but a week ago!”
  Van: ”...and the sword?”
  Kiergath: “Deeper in this cellar, through the south door from this room. The other door leads to a back door.”
  Shenvallei: “And is it guarded? And if so by what? Tell us the truth or we will not set you free.”
  Kiergath: “More of my people, several mercenaries.. and Kolphyranyx.”
  Van: ”...what is…Kolphyranyx?”
  Shenvallei: “And what is your name mage?
  Shenvallei: “
  Kiergath: “Kolphyranyx is one of the great serpents allied to my stronghold, a child by his people’s reckoning, guarding the sword here to repay a debt owed by his parents to Yi’minn.”
  Kiergath: Ki’ina sighs, “He means a dragon.. a red dragon.”
  Van: “I gathered…that’s…pleasant of him to say.”
  Kiergath: Two things happen at once.
  Kiergath: Van’s halberd arcs downward towards the mage
  Kiergath: and the Githyanki disappears
  Kiergath: Sparks fly as the halberd hits stone
  Van: ”...brilliant…”
  Shenvallei: “What the…”
  Shenvallei: Search the room for any sign of him.
  
• Van lets the Halberd clatter to the floor in anger, then stalks over towards the chest in the corner. *
  Kiergath: The room has no sign of him
  Kiergath: only the two dead rogues
  Shenvallei: “We should dispose of the bodies.”
  Van: “It matters little…they know we’re here, or they will.”
  Kiergath: Ki’ina: They already did, I’m sure.
  
• Van kicks the lid of the chest *
  Kiergath: Ki’ina: This battle was planned – those rogues were already positioned and waiting when we arrived.
  Shenvallei: I listen at the south door.
  Kiergath: Roll
  Kiergath: Van – it opens
  Shenvallei: [1d20<!- Official Roll ->] => [4] = (4)
  Van: Snoop.
  Kiergath: nothing, Shen
  Kiergath: Clothes, including shirts
  Shenvallei: pull open the door carefully.
  Van: Start shredding some of the shirts and attempt to stop the blood flowing from my back.
  Kiergath: Ki’ina, assuming you let her, gives you a hand.
  Kiergath: Shen, another corridor, ending in a door about 30 feet down
  Shenvallei: search for traps, ceiling/floor/sides
  Shenvallei: and sidle the wall the the alcove
  Van: and yes, I would
  Shenvallei: to the
  Kiergath: in your prodding, you open a door
  Shenvallei: I enter.
  Shenvallei: Are there any bottles or just kegs?
  Kiergath: See above.
  Kiergath: :P
  Kiergath: No bottles
  Van: ...lol
  Shenvallei: Do a quick search of the room then head back to the hallway.
  Kiergath: Nothing extraordinary
  Kiergath: it appears to be a stockpile of, largely, beer
  Kiergath: some of it extraordinarily old
  Kiergath: cobwebs everywhere
  Shenvallei: Continue south then to the southern door moving silently.
  Shenvallei: Then listen at that door.
  Kiergath: Roll it
  Shenvallei: [1d20<!- Official Roll ->] => [1] = (1)
  Kiergath: Silence
  Shenvallei: Im going to start taking 10 on all checks :P
  Shenvallei: hmm
  
• Van heads down the hallway, having retrieved his halberd *
  Kiergath: Ki’ina follows
  Kiergath: You gather at the door
  Shenvallei: False life on Luna
  Shenvallei: Alter Self on Luna
  Shenvallei: The later making her grow to a small creature with larger fangs/claws.
  
• Van mutters, angrily, “Here’s to looking before you leap…” *
  
• Van kicks down the door and uses it as a springboard to leap into the room (Assuming this is possible) *
  Shenvallei: hehe thats a sight for an imagination :P
  Kiergath: BEHOLD
  Van: I imagine it’s feasible…if somewhat difficult.
  Kiergath: THE ROOM NEEDS NO EXPLANATION, I AM SURE
  Van: ...and…it feels somewhat wasted, unless there’s something with attacking range.
  Shenvallei: are you using a lightpen to draw?
  Kiergath: huh?
  Shenvallei: beacause thats a really good room :P
  Kiergath: I’m using ORPG and a mouse
  Van: He’s marvelling at your technique when compared to the shit ones I was drawing with my touchpad
  Shenvallei: ah right
  Kiergath: dude!
  Shenvallei: forgot about the touchpad
  Kiergath: my map is even, like, continuous!
  Kiergath: :P
  Shenvallei: lol
  Van: ...I have a feeling that Newton is with me…
  Shenvallei: web!
  Shenvallei: Wow that blue is really a neat color
  Kiergath: That..
  Kiergath: Pretty much sums it up
  Kiergath: :P
  Van: ...indeed
  Kiergath: The dragon’s not very big.
  Kiergath: Maybe six feet long in the body, long tail
  Kiergath: kind’ve ungainly, like it doesn’t quite have the proportions down, much less the size
  Kiergath: And.. its not moving much.
  Kiergath: Struggling.. feebly.
  Kiergath: And, since Shen is in the room.
  Kiergath: LOL….
  Kiergath: Nick BSOD’ed
  Van: LOL
  Van: Awesome
  Kiergath: and has to go for awhile
  Van: ...lame
  Kiergath: thats what I told him
  Kiergath: he’s restarting
  Kiergath: it would really suck to have to stop now
  Kiergath: lol
  Kiergath: because.. we’re pretty much almost done here
  Van: lol
  Van: I would hate to leave Van hanging.
  Van: Literally
  Kiergath: yeah.. uh..
  Kiergath: you bounce off the other door
  Kiergath: sry
  Van: ...damn
  Van: I was hoping to bounce through the other door
  Van: and bypass the whole spidery doom altogether
  Van: :P
  Van: ...I don’t want to fight a spider which is capable of snaring a young red dragon
  Van: really
  Kiergath: lol
  Kiergath: it was sleeping :(
  Kiergath: Its actually not any older than Ki’ina.
  Kiergath: Possibly a year or two younger
  Shenvallei (enter): 23:13
  Shenvallei: sorry about that
  <u>Server Administrator</u>-> Kicking ‘Shenvallei’ from server… Removing dead client
  Shenvallei (exit): 23:14
  Shenvallei: lol nice map
  Shenvallei: especially the :(
  Kiergath: YES
  Kiergath: IT IS
  Kiergath: Van has bounced off the opposite door
  Shenvallei: Using my astute powers of memory
  Shenvallei: what did the mage say was the location of the sword?
  Shenvallei: I mean
  Kiergath: Just said “South door”
  Shenvallei: the sword in the top over to the east isnt THE sword is it?
  Kiergath: dunno
  Kiergath: is it?
  Kiergath: its a long ways away
  Shenvallei: Anything moving in theroom?
  Kiergath: the dragon
  Kiergath: the stream
  Shenvallei: wheres the dragon
  Kiergath: uhm
  Kiergath: “HI!”
  Kiergath: “I’m a Dragon!”
  Kiergath: in the web
  Kiergath: :P
  Shenvallei: theres a dragon in spiderwebs?
  Shenvallei: I see that
  Kiergath: k?
  Kiergath: :P
  Kiergath: yes, there is
  Kiergath: its stuck
  Shenvallei: you are kidding
  Van: Quietly, to himself… “Don’t panic…don’t panic…you’ve read about this before…”
  Kiergath: Its only about 16 feet long from tip of tail to snout
  Shenvallei: a dragon got stuck in a web?
  Van: No, no kidding there…
  Kiergath: uh..
  Shenvallei: LOL what a lame dragon
  Van: I’ve seen it done.
  Kiergath: Looks more like the web was wrapped around it
  
• Shenvallei laughs at the absurdity! *
  Kiergath: SLAP!*
  Kiergath: Ki’ina whacks Shen
  Shenvallei: “Ow, sorry.”
  Kiergath: Ki’ina: Hey! I grew up with that dragon! Stop laughing at him!
  Shenvallei: “Well its not going to let us get your sword back is it?”
  Van: Step out towards the center of the room, away from the dragon and the south wall
  Kiergath: Ki’ina: He’s only twenty two, even dragons get to be young for awhile.
  Kiergath: Ki’ina: I’m not worried about Kolphyr.. more worried about the bug.
  Kiergath: So.. you’re moving…
  Shenvallei: Do we see a spider?
  Kiergath: There?
  Kiergath: No
  Van: Uh
  Van: There.
  Van: Da.
  Shenvallei: Ill follow about 10 feet behind him.
  Van: ...a bunny?
  Van: ...that’s not a bunny.
  Van: that defies all bunnyhood.
  Van: I liked it before when it just had wings
  Van: YOU CAN STOP WITH THE DETAIL ANYTIME NOW
  Van: ...
  Van: I hate you
  Kiergath: I know
  Van: I hate you oh so very much.
  Shenvallei: thats pretty creepy looking
  Kiergath: I’m.. not sure what it is, either
  Kiergath: But its charging
  Kiergath: :P
  Van: ...
  Van: So am I.
  Kiergath: good
  Van: Shall we initiativeize?
  Kiergath: INITIATIVE
  Van: [1d20+3<!- Official Roll ->] => [13,3] = (16)
  Shenvallei: sure I may need to go mid battle though
  Van: ...finally, something different.
  Kiergath: Giant Sword Spider [1d20<!- Official Roll ->] => [7] = (7)
  Shenvallei: so keep track of all you can.
  Shenvallei: [1d20<!- Official Roll ->] => [14] = (14)
  Kiergath: Yep
  Van: ...asshole.
  Shenvallei: +5
  Kiergath: VAN!
  Van: eh?
  Van: I go before Shen?
  Kiergath: oh right

  Kiergath: sorry, I’m not used to people breaking up their rolls and bonuses
  Kiergath: SHEN!
  Van: lol
  Shenvallei: Hmm.
  Shenvallei: Taking a quick look at the dragon, is it freeable?
  Kiergath: If you had a way to get rid of alot of web in a hurry
  Shenvallei: fire!
  Kiergath: true
  Shenvallei: scorching ray on the web hopefully itll free the dragon.
  Kiergath: The web begins to burn
  Kiergath: quickly
  Kiergath: VAN!
  Van: ...uh…
  Van: I really don’t know.
  Van: So…uh…leap backwards, or something.
  Van: ...probably towards the door
  Van: Since Shen set the webbing on fire
  Shenvallei: how big is this spider
  Kiergath: About the size of a ford minivan
  Kiergath: Then add legs
  Van: ...which have blades on them.
  Kiergath: Yes.
  Van: Thus being one of many reasons I’m getting the fuck out of this hellhole.
  Shenvallei: right huge
  Kiergath: The spider…
  Kiergath: being a spider..
  Kiergath: is attracted to movement
  Kiergath: and goes sproing
  Van: ...I fucking hate you, Morgan.
  Kiergath: Sick a babau on me at level 3, will you?
  Kiergath: :P
  Kiergath: Ki’ina hits! And does damage.
  Kiergath: NEXT ROUND
  Kiergath: Old inits apply. Dragon moving at [1d20<!- Official Roll ->] => [2] = (2)
  Kiergath: LOL.
  Kiergath: Shen
  Shenvallei: Run for the sword and scream at the dragon “You are free my friend! Free!”
  Shenvallei: Full move run.
  Kiergath: Van!
  Van: ...Leap for the doorway, then out into the hallway.
  Van: Put as much distance between that thing and myself as possible.,
  Shenvallei: I have to go guys Ill bbl.
