<p>Vroole: </p> <hr /> <div>Once more Derry has called out for help from the guild, sightings have placed at least another nest of what can only be more spiders and such in the forested hills about twelve miles out of town tot he north. Several Farms have been overrun and their occupants taken or killed, none know which yet. After the first encounter though they aren't taking chances this time and any reports of webs and things with eight legs they call for the true heroes of the land. And you few have heeded the call, for money for glory, for absolute disgust of spiders, whatever the reason in the end it comes down to putting down the rise of these foul creatures one way or another. <br /> <br /> Once more as you meet at the gates, Horse and Gunny are waiting with the cart like the last time, the older man is happy to see some of those that were there the last time and shakes their hands. &quot;I know you couldn't have saved my daughter... I knew it the night she dissapeared, but thank you for avenging her death. But we got another crop of trouble brewing and it may be connected to the first one.&quot; <br /> <br /> The forest was like a third home to Talazia, with the first two being Silvermoon and Elvengate. She quietly walks up towards Gunny and the horse, and nods quietly. She already has an arrow on her bow. This could be scary enough.<br /> <br /> Kroth is quiet, he is here to fight, consoling those that have lost is not a talent he possesses. The goal is to prevent more loss of life, so he waits until the group can move and find something he can punch, thats always the simple answer...hit something.<br /> <br /> While her crafting designs can look complex at times, Takiyah is fairly straightforward when it comes to trouble: find the ones responsible, and stop them as needed.<br /> <br /> Brianna has disconnected.<br /> <br /> Taro carries a worn two-handed axe over one shoulder. He lopes through the outdoor terrain like an Oruch more accustomed to life outside the city than in. &quot;Spiders...&quot; he muses. &quot;I wonder how they taste.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Perception: (15)+6: 21<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls perception: (7)+11: 18<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls perception: (12)+8: 20<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (4)+7: 11<br /> <br /> The cart having been abandoned back at the treeline before entering the forest, Gunny and Horse wave to them and wish them good luck, even saying they will wait there for them for two days, after that they will head back to Derry. The path leads upward, its not too bad of a climb really, more a test of stamina with the angle being gentle, but constantly rising. A few switch back paths to get up the more elevated parts and the first sogns of what the party was worried about begin to appear. Webs here and there on trees and on bushes, even a few small drained corpses of smaller animals, nothing much bigger than a squirrel or rabbit at the largest, nothing the size of a human or anything close to that being found. <br /> <br /> Taro begins to pant as the party climbs. &quot;Too much easy living,&quot; he complains.<br /> <br /> Kroth moves along with the group, he grins faintly, &quot;Excercise, its good for your body, lets you live longer.&quot; He keeps a wary eye out though for large things with many legs that might try to attack them.<br /> <br /> Talazia isn't breaking a sweat yet. but then again....she's used to the forest. &quot;Pace yourself, Taro. Don't put everything you have into one push.&quot; She says climbing easily.<br /> <br /> You paged (Takiyah, Talazia, Taro) with 'There is a flash of many eyes then gone, a rustle softly of leaves overhead, not unlike wind might produce, but the tension of the surroundings and the webs increase. There is a sense something is watching you, not yet ready to reveal itself.'<br /> <br /> Taro's eyes shift back and forth. He takes his axe off of his shoulder and instead carries it with both hands, ready for use.<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls perception+2: (9)+11+2: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls perception: (15)+8: 23<br /> <br /> Climbing some more, Talazia looks around and smirks a bit. &quot;We are being watched. Be ready.&quot; Blunt, isn't she?<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Perception: (15)+6: 21<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (7)+7: 14<br /> <br /> You paged (Taro, Talazia, Takiyah) with 'Taro first notices it being in the lead, a mere foot step away from it. Another lays beyond and then two more at an even five feet. Cleverly hidden by leaves =, but not enough once one knows how to look for them. Beyond there is a movement of the path itself off to the right and left, a settling of dust almost as if something had moved in a circular path about five feet around.'<br /> <br /> Takiyah grips her longspear. &quot;Looks like we got company,&quot; the gobber Forge mutters. &quot;About four of them, plus at least a pair trying to surround us.&quot;<br /> <br /> Talazia says, &quot;I see them.&quot; She then chuckles. &quot;bad idea to try and surround us though.&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> Taro comes to an abrupt halt! He bounces his axe in his handca few times, peering ahead. &quot;There!&quot; he suddenly barks. &quot;Lets get them!&quot; He urges, clearly only heartbeats from charging.<br /> <br /> Kroth frowns, looking around and slipping on his brass knuckles, but apparently he doesn't see what everyone else does, so he just readies for a fight.<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls reflex: (20)+5: 25 (CRITICAL SUCCESS)<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Reflex: (4)+4: 8<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls reflex: (14)+4: 18<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls reflex: (19)+5: 24<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls reflex: (15)+7: 22<br /> <br /> The circular puffs of dust that were spotted by a few, rise up, the dust settling as two boulders are lifted out of the ground and sent rolling down the path towards the party. Diving out of the way isn't all that hard for most of the group, but Takiyah seems a bit frozen. Thankfully for Taro, he notices this and tackles her out of the way of the rolling boulders. Before they get to them, they roll over the webs along the path and tree trunks, eight feet long and thick as a man swing through the path, a several part trap appears to have been setup, the trees crashing together as the boulders pass by and down the path, crashing into other things further on. The path itself is blocked though and there is shittering as six spiders walking like crabs scuttle out of the woods behind the party and two giant spiders leap up to the top f the barricading trees ahead of them, indeed they are surrounded. <br /> <br /> Huh?

Not exactly something that would be normal, by far. That should intrigue you both at this point.'<br /> <br /> Taro peers at the remains of the nearest spider. He probably doesn't realize it but he's licking his lips. Then he turns suddenly, at something Kroth says. &quot;Normally I would say there shouldn't be be more - but something is unnatural about these spiders.&quot; He turns back to the carcass. &quot;Something more than just the obvious,&quot; he amends. He thinks about it some more. Then he starts looking from one dead spider to the next.<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, &quot;Why? Spiders have lots of babies right? Or maybe this is something related to all the missing people.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged (Taro, Talazia) with '+For one, they aren't often that keen on traps, using stealth more then often if anything is very unusual also.'<br /> <br /> Talazia says, &quot;besudes they're working together, and they don't often use traps. There's more to this. Someone's leading them.&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> Taro moves over to stand between two of slain spiders. He holds his axe in one hand and uses it to point at one spider. &quot;She's right. This one,&quot; he begins, before shifting his axe to gesture at the next. &quot;And this one, are different kinds of spiders.&quot; Maybe he should do an impromptu taste test, just to be sure? Er... &quot;And that WAS a trap.&quot; He nods in agreement with Talazia now. &quot;She's right, someone or something must be controlling them.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls stealth+2: (10)+10+2: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Stealth: (19)+2: 21<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls stealth: (1)+6: 7 (EPIC FAIL)<br /> <br /> The group decides to find a more stealthy way up towards the mountain. Just as they are getting closer, a few more tree lines the mountain itself hinted, and even a cave as well. The webbing all around and far more corpses of animals, some deer and larger animals now are present, strung up into the branches. None look human though, but then Kroth takes a tumble over a log, and falls flat on his face, perhaps a louder then whispered curse goes out as well and a strange voice speaking common, &quot;Something is out there..

Suddenly he lunges at it, claws outstretched. But through chance or desing the creature raises a leg and plants the tip on Taro's head, holding him at bay. Its humiliating, for a moment Taro's hands flail helplessly in midair as he's held at bay. But in in his already enraged state it also fuels his fury. Taro grabs the spider's leg and twists it savagely out of the way. He goes on twisting, until it pops off.

When it becomes clear the party are the only ones still standing, he quickly begins to calm down. But it seems the effects of his exertion will take some time to overcome. Even going bavk to pick up his axe seems to be a large effort.<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, looking around. &quot;I am beginning to think I should have trained more in the bow.&quot; He notices how many of the creatures were dispatched by arrows.<br /> <br /> Talazia smiles to Kroth. &quot;Do not worry. You were fine, Kroth. I was just lucky today.&quot; She then looks to Taro. &quot;you okay?&quot;<br /> <br /> Huh? (Type &quot;help&quot; for help.)<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Strength: (2)+1: 3<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls strength: (16)+2: 18<br /> <br /> Taro waves off the question. &quot;I'm fine,&quot; he insists. He plants his axe on the ground and leans against it. &quot;I will be,&quot; he says finally. &quot;I just need to catch my breath.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Uh, a little help here?&quot; asks Takiyah, her voice somewhat muffled by the webbing. Talazia helps the gobber out of her entanglement. &quot;Thanks,&quot; the Forge smiles at Talazia.<br /> <br /> As you gather yourselves together and help Takiyah out of the web trouble, it is far more quiet, but there is something said. It carries over the wind and for most it would be words like a flower growing, but spoken in such a way, the raspy words grate more even if spoken in the elven tongue. It carries from the cave and seems to grow more distant as the few seconds pass by... <br /> <br /> You paged (Taro, Talazia) with 'Talaziq'<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls knowledge/nature: (4)+7: 11<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, looking around, &quot;Well, we just have to go beat up whatever is speaking that language.&quot; He nods his head, straightening his brass knuckles.<br /> <br /> You paged Talazia with 'The words you hear are like your natural tongue, but twisted and dark. No natural elf had spoken them, but something about it pulls at a memory. the sound is clearly leaving in the opposit direction even as it says, &quot;Come... you as well. Time will give us victory... it is only the beginning.&quot;'<br /> <br /> Talazia smiles to Takiyah. &quot;it's no problem. Spider webs can be sticky but they're not trouble if you take enough time.&quot; She then looks towards the cave. &quot;Strange. it's speaking Sildanyari.&quot; She says with a tilt of her head. &quot;Only the beginning, hmm? I think it's leaving.&quot;<br /> <br /> Anger flashes once more across Taro's face. He raises his axe and takes a step towards the cave - and then stumbles and nearly falls. Cursing, he glances at Talazia. &quot;What? What's leaving? What is it?&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth nods, &quot;We should go kill it then, its probably whats causing all this, commanding the spiders, killing people.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls perception+2: (6)+11+2: 19<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls perception+2: (17)+11+2: 30<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (12)+7: 19<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (6)+7: 13<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls survival+2: (15)+9+2: 26<br /> <br /> Talazia poses something first.<br /> <br /> Talazia says, &quot;I don't know what it is, but it said 'Come... You as well. Time will give us victory... It is only the beginning.&quot; She then ponders. &quot;It sounds familiar, but no natural elf speaks the language like it did.&quot; She has to think about it though.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Perception: (20)+6: 26<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Perception: (8)+6: 14<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls perception: (8)+8: 16<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls perception: (10)+8: 18<br /> <br /> You paged Talazia with 'If you take a twenty later to study and figure it out... You'll come up with Drider. so you can RP that later to anyone here you might RP with at some point.'<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts &quot;Sounds evil.&quot; he nods a bit, &quot;We should kill it.&quot; Yes, the simple choices.<br /> <br /> You paged Talazia with 'That and I plan on making this ongoing too.'<br /> <br /> Talazia has disconnected.<br /> <br /> When approaching the cave itself, signs are seen of a large party of creatures had been there the signs that they had headed west, most eight legged, at least 3 and another walking on two, even if the prints all look similar in fashion like spider legs left them. Investigating the cave reveals a few more traps and lots of webs to get by. Smaller spiders around, but nothing that seems aggressive or bigger than a fingernail in size. Further investigation reveals a few written correspondences that are written in the Elven language. Having it translated later on shows that it is times and numbers, one the exact number before that had tries to hold Derry and drain it dry of people. Highlighting the advancement of the new brain bug spider that had been taking them over and in great detail the form it takes in doing so. It eats out the motor control portion of the brain, the itching a side effect of the process as it eats and connects itself tot he nervous system there so that it may deliver fully blooded, fresh meat to other spiders if needed. A second letter, speaks of the cave they had found, a base of operations that needed to be abandoned and the process moved up into the mountains before others discover what is happening and the offensive is squashed before they can complete their goals in preparation. <br /> <br /> Returning to the base of the path is simple, seems whatever was there has moved back or ran away to leave the area alone, at least for now or so the second letter shadows that it might not be over yet. Horse and Gunny take the adventurers back to Derry for a feast and congratulations of meats, bread, cheeses of all kinds along with many desserts, veggies and fruits to follow after.</div>

<p>Vroole: </p> <hr /> <div>Once more Derry has called out for help from the guild, sightings have placed at least another nest of what can only be more spiders and such in the forested hills about twelve miles out of town tot he north. Several Farms have been overrun and their occupants taken or killed, none know which yet. After the first encounter though they aren't taking chances this time and any reports of webs and things with eight legs they call for the true heroes of the land. And you few have heeded the call, for money for glory, for absolute disgust of spiders, whatever the reason in the end it comes down to putting down the rise of these foul creatures one way or another. <br /> <br /> Once more as you meet at the gates, Horse and Gunny are waiting with the cart like the last time, the older man is happy to see some of those that were there the last time and shakes their hands. &quot;I know you couldn't have saved my daughter... I knew it the night she dissapeared, but thank you for avenging her death. But we got another crop of trouble brewing and it may be connected to the first one.&quot; <br /> <br /> The forest was like a third home to Talazia, with the first two being Silvermoon and Elvengate. She quietly walks up towards Gunny and the horse, and nods quietly. She already has an arrow on her bow. This could be scary enough.<br /> <br /> Kroth is quiet, he is here to fight, consoling those that have lost is not a talent he possesses. The goal is to prevent more loss of life, so he waits until the group can move and find something he can punch, thats always the simple answer...hit something.<br /> <br /> While her crafting designs can look complex at times, Takiyah is fairly straightforward when it comes to trouble: find the ones responsible, and stop them as needed.<br /> <br /> Brianna has disconnected.<br /> <br /> Taro carries a worn two-handed axe over one shoulder. He lopes through the outdoor terrain like an Oruch more accustomed to life outside the city than in. &quot;Spiders...&quot; he muses. &quot;I wonder how they taste.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Perception: (15)+6: 21<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls perception: (7)+11: 18<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls perception: (12)+8: 20<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (4)+7: 11<br /> <br /> The cart having been abandoned back at the treeline before entering the forest, Gunny and Horse wave to them and wish them good luck, even saying they will wait there for them for two days, after that they will head back to Derry. The path leads upward, its not too bad of a climb really, more a test of stamina with the angle being gentle, but constantly rising. A few switch back paths to get up the more elevated parts and the first sogns of what the party was worried about begin to appear. Webs here and there on trees and on bushes, even a few small drained corpses of smaller animals, nothing much bigger than a squirrel or rabbit at the largest, nothing the size of a human or anything close to that being found. <br /> <br /> Taro begins to pant as the party climbs. &quot;Too much easy living,&quot; he complains.<br /> <br /> Kroth moves along with the group, he grins faintly, &quot;Excercise, its good for your body, lets you live longer.&quot; He keeps a wary eye out though for large things with many legs that might try to attack them.<br /> <br /> Talazia isn't breaking a sweat yet. but then again....she's used to the forest. &quot;Pace yourself, Taro. Don't put everything you have into one push.&quot; She says climbing easily.<br /> <br /> You paged (Takiyah, Talazia, Taro) with 'There is a flash of many eyes then gone, a rustle softly of leaves overhead, not unlike wind might produce, but the tension of the surroundings and the webs increase. There is a sense something is watching you, not yet ready to reveal itself.'<br /> <br /> Taro's eyes shift back and forth. He takes his axe off of his shoulder and instead carries it with both hands, ready for use.<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls perception+2: (9)+11+2: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls perception: (15)+8: 23<br /> <br /> Climbing some more, Talazia looks around and smirks a bit. &quot;We are being watched.

Another lays beyond and then two more at an even five feet. Cleverly hidden by leaves =, but not enough once one knows how to look for them. Beyond there is a movement of the path itself off to the right and left, a settling of dust almost as if something had moved in a circular path about five feet around.'<br /> <br /> Takiyah grips her longspear. &quot;Looks like we got company,&quot; the gobber Forge mutters. &quot;About four of them, plus at least a pair trying to surround us.&quot;<br /> <br /> Talazia says, &quot;I see them.&quot; She then chuckles. &quot;bad idea to try and surround us though.&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> Taro comes to an abrupt halt! He bounces his axe in his handca few times, peering ahead. &quot;There!&quot; he suddenly barks. &quot;Lets get them!&quot; He urges, clearly only heartbeats from charging.<br /> <br /> Kroth frowns, looking around and slipping on his brass knuckles, but apparently he doesn't see what everyone else does, so he just readies for a fight.<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls reflex: (20)+5: 25 (CRITICAL SUCCESS)<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Reflex: (4)+4: 8<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls reflex: (14)+4: 18<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls reflex: (19)+5: 24<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls reflex: (15)+7: 22<br /> <br /> The circular puffs of dust that were spotted by a few, rise up, the dust settling as two boulders are lifted out of the ground and sent rolling down the path towards the party. Diving out of the way isn't all that hard for most of the group, but Takiyah seems a bit frozen. Thankfully for Taro, he notices this and tackles her out of the way of the rolling boulders. Before they get to them, they roll over the webs along the path and tree trunks, eight feet long and thick as a man swing through the path, a several part trap appears to have been setup, the trees crashing together as the boulders pass by and down the path, crashing into other things further on. The path itself is blocked though and there is shittering as six spiders walking like crabs scuttle out of the woods behind the party and two giant spiders leap up to the top f the barricading trees ahead of them, indeed they are surrounded. <br /> <br /> Huh?

He probably doesn't realize it but he's licking his lips. Then he turns suddenly, at something Kroth says. &quot;Normally I would say there shouldn't be be more - but something is unnatural about these spiders.&quot; He turns back to the carcass. &quot;Something more than just the obvious,&quot; he amends. He thinks about it some more. Then he starts looking from one dead spider to the next.<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, &quot;Why? Spiders have lots of babies right? Or maybe this is something related to all the missing people.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged (Taro, Talazia) with '+For one, they aren't often that keen on traps, using stealth more then often if anything is very unusual also.'<br /> <br /> Talazia says, &quot;besudes they're working together, and they don't often use traps. There's more to this. Someone's leading them.&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> Taro moves over to stand between two of slain spiders. He holds his axe in one hand and uses it to point at one spider. &quot;She's right. This one,&quot; he begins, before shifting his axe to gesture at the next. &quot;And this one, are different kinds of spiders.&quot; Maybe he should do an impromptu taste test, just to be sure? Er... &quot;And that WAS a trap.&quot; He nods in agreement with Talazia now. &quot;She's right, someone or something must be controlling them.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls stealth+2: (10)+10+2: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Stealth: (19)+2: 21<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls stealth: (1)+6: 7 (EPIC FAIL)<br /> <br /> The group decides to find a more stealthy way up towards the mountain. Just as they are getting closer, a few more tree lines the mountain itself hinted, and even a cave as well. The webbing all around and far more corpses of animals, some deer and larger animals now are present, strung up into the branches. None look human though, but then Kroth takes a tumble over a log, and falls flat on his face, perhaps a louder then whispered curse goes out as well and a strange voice speaking common, &quot;Something is out there.. Have the guardians go check it out.&quot; With that, there is skuttling coming from the mountain and cave direction specifically, right for the group. Perhaps a minute to prepare themselves or come up with some plan for what is approaching. <br /> <br /> Lightly clicking her tongue as Korth goes flop, Talazia hears the speak and blinks. &quot;SOmething's coming.....&quot;<br /> <br /> Takiyah sighs. &quot;Well, since they know we're coming...&quot; she mutters, casting a spell to invoke the Blessing of Reos.<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah casts Bless.

It's only through sheer luck that he doesn't fall on his own axe and chop himself in half.<br /> <br /> One still lunges at Takiyah, the fangs glancing off armor, but the other takes a liking to Taro falling over and bites him where his armor is weak in back. <br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole rolls 1d3 -1: (3)+-1: 2<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls fort: (15)+11: 26<br /> <br /> GAME: You damaged Taro for 2 points. 40 remaining.<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole advances the initiative order.<br /> <br /> Round Two - Init 20.<br /> <br /> It is now Takiyah's turn!

Suddenly he lunges at it, claws outstretched. But through chance or desing the creature raises a leg and plants the tip on Taro's head, holding him at bay. Its humiliating, for a moment Taro's hands flail helplessly in midair as he's held at bay. But in in his already enraged state it also fuels his fury. Taro grabs the spider's leg and twists it savagely out of the way. He goes on twisting, until it pops off.

When it becomes clear the party are the only ones still standing, he quickly begins to calm down. But it seems the effects of his exertion will take some time to overcome. Even going bavk to pick up his axe seems to be a large effort.<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, looking around. &quot;I am beginning to think I should have trained more in the bow.&quot; He notices how many of the creatures were dispatched by arrows.<br /> <br /> Talazia smiles to Kroth. &quot;Do not worry. You were fine, Kroth. I was just lucky today.&quot; She then looks to Taro. &quot;you okay?&quot;<br /> <br /> Huh? (Type &quot;help&quot; for help.)<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Strength: (2)+1: 3<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls strength: (16)+2: 18<br /> <br /> Taro waves off the question. &quot;I'm fine,&quot; he insists. He plants his axe on the ground and leans against it. &quot;I will be,&quot; he says finally. &quot;I just need to catch my breath.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Uh, a little help here?&quot; asks Takiyah, her voice somewhat muffled by the webbing. Talazia helps the gobber out of her entanglement. &quot;Thanks,&quot; the Forge smiles at Talazia.<br /> <br /> As you gather yourselves together and help Takiyah out of the web trouble, it is far more quiet, but there is something said. It carries over the wind and for most it would be words like a flower growing, but spoken in such a way, the raspy words grate more even if spoken in the elven tongue. It carries from the cave and seems to grow more distant as the few seconds pass by... <br /> <br /> You paged (Taro, Talazia) with 'Talaziq'<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls knowledge/nature: (4)+7: 11<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, looking around, &quot;Well, we just have to go beat up whatever is speaking that language.&quot; He nods his head, straightening his brass knuckles.<br /> <br /> You paged Talazia with 'The words you hear are like your natural tongue, but twisted and dark. No natural elf had spoken them, but something about it pulls at a memory. the sound is clearly leaving in the opposit direction even as it says, &quot;Come... you as well. Time will give us victory... it is only the beginning.&quot;'<br /> <br /> Talazia smiles to Takiyah. &quot;it's no problem. Spider webs can be sticky but they're not trouble if you take enough time.&quot; She then looks towards the cave. &quot;Strange. it's speaking Sildanyari.&quot; She says with a tilt of her head. &quot;Only the beginning, hmm? I think it's leaving.&quot;<br /> <br /> Anger flashes once more across Taro's face. He raises his axe and takes a step towards the cave - and then stumbles and nearly falls. Cursing, he glances at Talazia. &quot;What? What's leaving? What is it?&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth nods, &quot;We should go kill it then, its probably whats causing all this, commanding the spiders, killing people.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls perception+2: (6)+11+2: 19<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls perception+2: (17)+11+2: 30<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (12)+7: 19<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (6)+7: 13<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls survival+2: (15)+9+2: 26<br /> <br /> Talazia poses something first.<br /> <br /> Talazia says, &quot;I don't know what it is, but it said 'Come... You as well. Time will give us victory... It is only the beginning.&quot; She then ponders. &quot;It sounds familiar, but no natural elf speaks the language like it did.&quot; She has to think about it though.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Perception: (20)+6: 26<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Perception: (8)+6: 14<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls perception: (8)+8: 16<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls perception: (10)+8: 18<br /> <br /> You paged Talazia with 'If you take a twenty later to study and figure it out... You'll come up with Drider. so you can RP that later to anyone here you might RP with at some point.'<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts &quot;Sounds evil.&quot; he nods a bit, &quot;We should kill it.&quot; Yes, the simple choices.<br /> <br /> You paged Talazia with 'That and I plan on making this ongoing too.'<br /> <br /> Talazia has disconnected.<br /> <br /> When approaching the cave itself, signs are seen of a large party of creatures had been there the signs that they had headed west, most eight legged, at least 3 and another walking on two, even if the prints all look similar in fashion like spider legs left them. Investigating the cave reveals a few more traps and lots of webs to get by. Smaller spiders around, but nothing that seems aggressive or bigger than a fingernail in size. Further investigation reveals a few written correspondences that are written in the Elven language. Having it translated later on shows that it is times and numbers, one the exact number before that had tries to hold Derry and drain it dry of people. Highlighting the advancement of the new brain bug spider that had been taking them over and in great detail the form it takes in doing so. It eats out the motor control portion of the brain, the itching a side effect of the process as it eats and connects itself tot he nervous system there so that it may deliver fully blooded, fresh meat to other spiders if needed. A second letter, speaks of the cave they had found, a base of operations that needed to be abandoned and the process moved up into the mountains before others discover what is happening and the offensive is squashed before they can complete their goals in preparation. <br /> <br /> Returning to the base of the path is simple, seems whatever was there has moved back or ran away to leave the area alone, at least for now or so the second letter shadows that it might not be over yet. Horse and Gunny take the adventurers back to Derry for a feast and congratulations of meats, bread, cheeses of all kinds along with many desserts, veggies and fruits to follow after.</div>

A mission that would eventually lead them back to give that information to his creator. A team that consisted of himself as the brains of the group, and the other two with preset skills in stealth and lock picking on one to combat of arms with the other. All to protect him and get him to the information he would need to learn about. <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p style=&quot;color:#247500; font-weight: bold; font-size: 150%;&quot;&gt;The Spider Chronicles&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> [http://www.tenebraemush.net/index.php/What_Tangled_Webs_They_Weave What Tangled Webs They Weave...] <br /> <br /> [http://www.tenebraemush.net/index.php/This_Ain%27t_No_Rabbit_Hole This Ain't No Rabbit Hole...]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Player]]<br /> [[Category:War Golems]][[Category:Artificer]][[Category:Alexandran]][[Category:Exploratory_Associates_of_Alexandria]]</div>

<p>Vroole: </p> <hr /> <div>An older farmer waits at the gates of Alexandria, a cart and two horses hitched to it are ready for the party of adventurers to the township of Derry. He smiles and tips his hat, &quot;Well don't this beat all. A much pleasant sight to see all these fine young folk so willing to help old Derry out.&quot; He seems in a pretty good mood and waves them on over to the cart, &quot;Nothing is enough for all you grand folk. A ride if you need it, we have a decent leg of a trip to be getting to and the more time we waste here the more Derry falls under the curse its found itself in.&quot; <br /> <br /> He turns and hops up into the driver seat, only then does the grey image of someone cloaked in the mists move, a old blunderbuss style type gun in his grasp, and leans it over his shoulder. This one doesn't look so happy in his weather beaten hat and the first calms all of the Adventures, &quot;Don't mind old Gunny there. He don't like strangers. You can call me Horse. Parents always knew I'd be a cart man, but they decided Carter was to common a name for such, besides every lady knows I'm hung like a...&quot; Gunny shoulders the man, he was getting to personal and the grumpy one grunts to warn him, &quot;Excuse me, living' on the road I suppose one doesn't require manners all that much? So, how about we get some names while we get this party movin'?&quot; A vert talkative one tot seems and even as those riding in the wagon get on, he snaps the reigns and they are off, seems talking on the way might be the way to go about it. Several large furs are also in the wagon, seems that everyone is going to be expected to sleep in the wagon perhaps till the reach Derry on the next afternoon. <br /> <br /> Lyrana cocks her head to the side as she listens, &quot;I do not understand the reference, Hung like a? Are you talking about hanging from a tree or something?&quot; the war golem asks as she looks at the guy. &quot;Oh, I forget myself, I am Lyrana of the Temple of Daeus.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Whirlpool damaged you for -100 points. 16 remaining.<br /> <br /> &quot;Silmeria,&quot; a blond in a breastplate and black velvet dress answers, cheeks practically glowing at the nearly-completed comparison. &quot;Temple of Vardama... May I ask, um... what's been ''happening'' out in Derry? Only I'd heard the rumors, but...&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling follows along on his own horse scruffy black warhorse, enormous black deathray seated across the saddle in front of him. Between that and his enormous chrome gauntlets there can be little doubt what the artifice intends to do. He does offers the farmer a friendly nod and grunt but little else in the way of idle chatter.<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'Also does anyone in this group have any like auto detect magics of any kind?'<br /> <br /> Korrani unloads her pack for the long ride and settles down in a small puddle of furs, sitting on the floor of the cart. She leans her back against the 'driver side' of the cart and draws one knee up to rest an arm on it. She tips her hooded head to Lyrana. &quot;Best you not ask for the rest of that sentence. Korrani Penfast. Adventurer for hire.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'Didn't want to give some info out, so they go hey why did he ask about detect magic and use something because I let the cat out of the bag.'<br /> <br /> Indeed Horse was going to answer the woman since she asked, but it seems Korrani had gotten the idea and for the moment he lets it be, &quot;PEople have been disappearing... Actin' strange, says their skin itches, scratchin and rippin their clothes over a day. Next mornin they are gone, some say they see em get up and wandering the streets. Tried followin them, many have, but they always dissapear before the mornin.&quot; Gunny jsut snorts and grunts in acknowledgment, seems the one calling shotgun doesn't have many words. Almost the perfect pair it seems if you wanted to put too extremes of conversationilst together. <br /> <br /> Lyrana looks at Korrani, &quot;Why would I not ask for the rest? I already did.&quot; she shakes her head, &quot;Still don't fully understand organics at times.&quot; she says and shakes her head again. She nods herhead, &quot;Alive or dead or just seem like it?&quot;<br /> <br /> The cart bounces along the uneven cart path towards the east, Horse very happy to tell what he knows, &quot;They seem alright, perhaps not themselves either. Anyone tryin to talk to them only get. A hello, and out for a walk, somethin like that, but never why they are up, or where all of them have been goin. Lost around twenty folk so far, another five at least or maybe a few more by the time we get there tomorrow.&quot; Horse sighs a little and shakes his head, &quot;Lost me own we littin also, one of the first to vanish. I hopin she is alright and you all can find her.&quot; Sadness creeps into the little old man... <br /> <br /> &quot;We will,&quot; Silmeria says, &quot;do everything in our power to get them back, Master Horse, Master Gunny.&quot; Settling back in the cart, she goes about the preparations to see that she can accomplish exactly that; checking the action of her crossbow, the edge of her sword, and the fit of her armor as the cart bounces along its way toward the town.<br /> <br /> &quot;Mind Control? What about the itchiness and scratching themselves until they rip their clothes?&quot; Korrani asks, unfamiliar with the workings of magic or mind control.<br /> <br /> &quot;Is there any rhyme or reason with who disappears? Anything in common?&quot; Korrani asks. &quot;What they did, where they went, what they ate...?&quot;<br /> <br /> Horse nods a bit and looks back, a little teary in his eyes, &quot;Thank you. I was very happy the council decided to put up the money to hire you all.&quot; He then shakes his head to Korrani's question, &quot;Nothin we hadn't been eatin' all the time. Our own growin' from the fields. Or from animals we have always raised. Perhaps if there is someone that is bein' cursed you will see. Very few days these last week there hasn't been one or two.&quot; <br /> <br /> The cart keeps moving all night long and well into the next day, the sun dipping towards the horizon before the town of Derry comes into view when the wagon rolls over one of the larger hills. The countryside had gradually changed from woods to farms and fields since the mid days meal when the sun was high and Horse seems to be tired, but he also seems determined to get all of you there before another day passes. &quot;There be Derry...&quot; Horse says it with such pride and comfort that they are finally going to be there, the clomp of hooves on the dirt, a person passing by now and again, giving greeting those up front and then those riding behind. None seem to ill affected and most look like they are farmers and would probably not live int he town proper. Smoke begins to curl up from the houses surrounded by an eight foot wall that encircles Derry proper and all the shops, inns and other main businesses of the town, including those that are a little better off when it comes to coins in their purses. The smell of dinner is in the air, all sorts of meet like spices and the roasting of vegetables and the boiled tint of stews and soups being cooked over the hearths. <br /> <br /> Stirling grumbles from his saddle &quot;Bit rustic ain't it? Anyhow lets make with the standard Arvek Nar mental recalibration and get a piece of whatevers cooking. Be a shame to leave here on an empty stomach.&quot; he notes with a grin.<br /> <br /> Aevarr says, &quot;As cozy as this is,&quot; Aevarr pipes up, &quot;are we certain we wish to travel to a town of strange itching and people running off into the night? It rather makes my skin crawl. Remind me of nightmare tales concerning a brothel or three... heard third-hand, of course...&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani scoots a little to put some distance between her and Aevarr at this talk of brothel itch. &quot;You should've thought of that before accepting the guild ticket on this one. Too late to go back now,&quot; Korrani grins tuskily.<br /> <br /> &quot;Not that we'd return even if we had the choice,&quot; Silmeria notes, looking up from her sword. &quot;Good people need help, after all...&quot; A small, sad smile passes over her face as they pass the walls, the blnd drawing in a slow, deep breath. &quot;It's a lovely town, Master Horse, Master Gunny... don't you worry, we'll set things right as well as we can.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana stretches as she gets out of the cart now that they have arrived. She glances around and then nods her head a it, &quot;Well we should get to it, so we can find and then complete the task, helping this village.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana refreshes spells.<br /> <br /> GAME: Silmeria refreshes spells.<br /> <br /> tirling dismounts as well, slinging the enormous firearm across his back &quot;Right, let slap some sense into these people and get some dinner. I am famished.&quot; he says flexing his chrome gauntlets, seems he means it too.<br /> <br /> &quot;I'll let the council know you have arrived.&quot; Horse nods to them all, &quot;Gunny here will show you to the house where the first time it happened. You are welcome to eat anythin' as I was told food will be waitin' for you, I don't go home myself anymore, but I'll send word with who is afflicted once I know who is. I will be quick adventurers.&quot; With that Horse runs off to the biggest house or building in the middle of town and Gunny shows you to Horses house. Even now a few of the women and men of the town are setting up the table with all sorts of different foods for different tastes and palletes. <br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, let's get started slapping people about. I'm sure that will make them much more talkative...&quot; Aevarr chuckles dryly as he disembarks and happily stretches his legs. He then looks to the others. &quot;Jests and brothels aside, does anyone have the slightest thought of what could be the cause of this?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I think we'll know more if we can see any afflicted,&quot; Silmeria says, sheathing her sword and running a hand through her hair. &quot;I'm tempted to call it some sort of pestilence for the moment... but, I'm no trained healer.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shrugs &quot;Right, we dunno what could be doing it, really hard to tell until we see folks? With any luck its some upstart wizard messing around with magics beyond him and he just needs to be put in his place.&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani grunts as she gets up from the cart and picks up her pack, then hops off the cart lightly. She places her hands on her lower back and stretches her spine. &quot;That was some journey,&quot; she sighs. She glances at the setting up of food. &quot;Don't know if I want to eat anything here until we have some idea of what could be the cause...&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr considers the food, then considers it much less. &quot;She makes a strong point for rations, in this case.&quot; Instead, he starts looking for Horse, their handy handholder into the haggard history of happenings in this hapless hamlet.<br /> <br /> Silmeria approaches the table despite the complaints of the others, smiling gently and offerng her thanks for sharing what they have. &quot;I know these are hard times,&quot; she says of one of the villagers, and I know the questions are harder still... but... was there anything... anything at all, really... that the people had in common who fell to this sickness? Other than living here, of course.&quot;<br /> <br /> Horse doesn't return, but a messenger does carrying a scroll, just a plain ordinary scroll with writing, more like a record of names, ages and dates of who has been afflicted and disappeared. Twenty three names show previous dates and the fact they are missing, two currently are noted as that day having complained of being itchy and should be watched. The Garden Lock, an inn, his wife in her thirties, another the Blacksmith himself. &quot;If you need the council let me know I'll be waiting outside.&quot; Perhaps the records might help answer some questions, maybe not, but clearly there are two people that can be checked out as well. <br /> <br /> Stirling nods to the comment about the food &quot;Right, good thinking keeping to our own. Shall we be on our way then? Find out whats going on here.&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani walks over to look at the list. &quot;Hmm. Perhaps we should talk to the infected first? See if we can have them restrained to prevent them from walking off?&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling nods to Korrani &quot;Sounds like a plan. Whose first on the list?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Probably for the best,&quot; Silmeria says, &quot;though perhaps it might not be quite so wise to talk of restraint when we don't know if they've been, or need it just yet?&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr nods in agreement. &quot;So long as we don't need to talk to them too closely...&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani wrap her hooded scarf around her neck a few more times, then tucks it in at certain places to allow it to cover her nose and mouth as an impromptu protective mask.<br /> <br /> Stirling shoulders into the workshop with his deathray across his shoulder. &quot;Hilderman is it? Put the hammer down and lets have a word.&quot; the large hobgoblin does not seem to leave any room for argument.<br /> <br /> Silmeria follows Stirling into the workshop, lips pursing at the artificer's tone. Slipping to one side by the door, she stands, silent for the moment to see how the blacksmith reacts.<br /> <br /> The Blacksmith shakes his head, &quot;Can't be doing that... work, it keeps the itching at bay. The heat... I don't want to itch, don't want to tear me flesh off to make it stop.&quot; Brock looks to them, his motions never faltering even as he speaks to them, &quot;Won't go to sleep... Need to stay awake and not itch.&quot; He shakes a little, shivering as if he is resisting, even as he stops for a moment only, &quot;Don't take away my work...&quot; The hammer begins to swing again and again like, one thing is obvious the man was very skilled as the metal easily began to shape itself, bending and then the hiss of heated metal and another piece of metal is grabbed form the fire to be shaped into a horseshoe, the water in the barrel spills over, even as it begins to settle once more level with the top and the mass of the shoe displaced inside. How many things were inside that barrel? <br /> <br /> Korrani walks in with the others, looking around the blacksmithy as Stirling grabs Brock's attention. &quot;We won't take away your work. We're from Alexandria to investigate the mystery illness that's affecting Derry. Can you tell us anything about what you were doing before started showing symptoms?&quot; she asks.<br /> <br /> &quot;Please,&quot; Silmeria says from her place by the door. &quot;It's very important, Master Hilderman... If we can learn how the itching started, we might be able to learn how to stop it.&quot;<br /> <br /> The blacksmith nods, &quot;Woke up that way, at first it was only a tingle. like a foot that had almost gone to sleep. It kept getting worse, its almost unbearable even now. I can't concentrate, getting tired, my mind is fuzzy. Work still helps, the heat as if it sears the nerves, to soothe the itch. But its not working as well now... You are the adventurer's the council paid for? Even if I disappear like the rest, you have to find out what is doing this. No one else can go through this... Its pure hell, like I'm loosing myself ever so much, little by little.&quot; <br /> <br /> Stirling starts to look around the shop, looking at tools and the workshop for anything out of place or anything he would like in his own workshop. &quot;Had any healer look at you yet?&quot;<br /> <br /> The blacksmith seems to get frustrated, losing concentration on the work he is doing seems to agitate him more, &quot;Healers don't know a thing... haven't figured out anything after a month. They go mad you see, and yet all becomes calm... I want the calm almost, its getting harder to fight it, to think, to even care.&quot; The messenger speaks briefly letting them know that the blacksmith has been the first to fight off not ripping his clothing off, though he is already half undressed, no shirt on as he works, only heavy work pants and a leather apron hanging down. He mentions the inn keepers wife isn't so well off and had to be restrained or she would have peeled her own flesh form her body, or it seemed like they might try to. They only let the blacksmith work because he is fighting it so well, waiting to see if he succumbs as well during the night. Indeed you may have noticed townspeople watching very closely the blacksmith and the inn a short way down the road. <br /> <br /> &quot;Thank you,&quot; Silmeria murmurs, loosing a quiet sigh. &quot;Very well, Master Hilderman... We'll do whatever we can to stop this, no matter what. Perhaps we should see to the inkeeper's wife, now?&quot; she asks of her fellows.<br /> <br /> Korrani looks to Silmeria, then back to Hilderman. Then she nods in agreement with Silmeria. &quot;Yes, let's go talk to her next.&quot;<br /> <br /> As you decide to go see the innkeeper's wife, the messenger shows you in and up the stairs to their private rooms. In the bed, sedated by a healer hanging nearby, strapped down in case she awakens. The sheets she is under are tinged here and there with dark maroon stains, the healer warning you right away you might not want to look, &quot;She tried to take her skin off with a knife. And even then she struggled and clawed at the wounds, like she couldn't get something out of her. I have no idea what is happening, I can't find anything that inside, any illness, no healing spells have been able to help anyone yet.&quot; The innkeeper looks on, worried, concerned, even as the woman seems to be sleeping very peacefully at the moment. &quot;Powerful drugs are the only thing that has kept her laying there... Enough for a full grown horse.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;It too that much to put her at ease?&quot; Korrani asks in surprise. &quot;Did she say anything of significance before she was drugged?&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling scratches his chin and furrows his brow &quot;So none of the healers know whats going on? Perhaps its something around the house? Some kind of curse?&quot; he suggests looking at the others.<br /> <br /> &quot;It does sound more likely to be magic,&quot; Silmeria murmurs, brow furrowing. &quot;Master Stirling... You wouldn't happen to have any way of checking for such things, would you? Only, I'm reasonably certain an expert's eye is at need, here.&quot;<br /> <br /> OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Nope its a first level spell for me and I do not have it prepared.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;None, our only mage was inflicted upon the second night of the outbreak... before we had any ideas at what we were looking for. He didn't make it tot he night to disappear, he blew himself and his house up. It drove him mad and he started casting some powerful magic it seems.&quot; The healer nods, &quot;Though we had thought of that by day four or five, why the council met to discuss payment and who we could get from the guild.&quot; <br /> <br /> Korrani shuffles a little and looks to the others, shrugging slightly. &quot;Sorry, I'm not much help in the magic department. But I may be able to help track where the people are going.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling grimaces &quot;I know a few things about magic though I can't think of what could cause this, lets go look at whats left of this mage's place. Perhaps he left some kind of clue, either way sounds like it started with him.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling goes OOC.<br /> <br /> Stirling has left.<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'because they were right there thinking the right way.'<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'I think I'm going to make it into some decent size ongoing plot dealing with some Driders eventually.'<br /> <br /> Korrani has disconnected.<br /> <br /> Whirlpool goes home.<br /> <br /> Whirlpool has left.<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;Alright who is all here?<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Kroth says, &quot;Iwas signed up originally as Radek but didnt go on the first part of this.<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;All good we need some bodies so its alright.<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;Looking to get this done throw a couple fights out but still under investigation was all. :P<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (15)+7: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (18)+7: 25<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (19)+7: 26<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls perception: (2)+4: 6<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls perception: (8)+4: 12<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls perception: (16)+4: 20<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (6)+7: 13<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (2)+7: 9<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (10)+7: 17<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (17)+10: 27<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (20)+10: 30<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (19)+10: 29<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls 1d20+2: (12)+2: 14<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls 1d20+2: (9)+2: 11<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls 1d20+2: (7)+2: 9<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (11)+10: 21<br /> <br /> Having already figured out a few facts of the plague/curse or whatever it is that inflicts Derry with its itching malaise. The healer who was watching over the cutup, sedated wife of the innkeeper told you about the wizard of the town having suspected of coming down with it in the first couple days and destroyed his own house with his magic. The heroes are off to investigate the site with the help of the messenger given to them to answer questions and show them around from the City's council. <br /> <br /> Following the messenger to the north side of town and outside the gate itself. The hut or what is left of the burnt, pulverized house lays closer to the farmlands beyond. The Wizard, Drunf Gright by the name one the parchment keeping records of those that had come down with the curse and disappeared on the second night after investigating the two children that had come under the curse the first day. <br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls heal: (2)+3: 5<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls heal: (17)+14: 31<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona refreshes spells.<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona casts Detect Magic. Caster Level: 4 DC: -87<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'When you cast Detect Magic, you notice what might be glowing strings around they lips like they are flowing into their mouth nose and ears. Kind fo looks like a spider web tunnel where a spider might rest down inside.'<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'You can try.'<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls knowledge/nature: (1)+9: 10<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms a little bit as she looks over some of the victems of the Itch and she uses a bit of magic to see if there is something magically causing this. &quot;Well what I can see if they hav some glowing strings around their lips and it's going in and out of their ears and nose and mouth. &quot;It sort of looks like a spider web tunnel, but no spider that I've ever heard of.&quot; She wrinkles her nose a bit.<br /> <br /> Bennet is perhaps a little less cautious in his investigation than he might be. As a servant of The Lady, he enjoys certain protections. But should this be a Curse, and not an illness... well, the gunman isn't utterly reckless. &quot;Whelp, I'm stumped. Don't look like no sickness I ever seen. Reckon our best bet be ta find where them kids first caught the Itch, maybe learn something more on where it came from.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'Nope, would have taken a hurrculean roll to know for sure.'<br /> <br /> Kroth frowns as he listens to the information, then he grunts. &quot;Spider? Yes, I agree we should search for a source, track where the kids first caught this. Why would the mage burn his home though? Perhaps this is a creature and not a curse? A creature fire can hurt.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana has disconnected.<br /> <br /> Lyrana has connected.<br /> <br /> Belladona has disconnected.<br /> <br /> Belladona has connected.<br /> <br /> Gunny the cart driver had spoke about his daughter being one of the first two children to be affected. The food before offered for dinner as the sun heads for the horizon and shadows begin to lengthen, was the same house, it seemed vacant almost and going back Gunny still hadn't returned from seeing the Council. The other, a younger boy, the family still grieving, his mother explaining how he didn't want to leave the bathtub, almost drowning himself a few times before later that night both had disappeared. <br /> <br /> Bennet ponders a bit. &quot;Reckon best look around the place. Seems things get interesting at night, may as well look then and hope to find something.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth nods, &quot;Yes, we will need to look around at night, perhaps follow if someone wanders off.&quot;<br /> <br /> It grows towards night, the sun dips down and soon the moon comes into view from the other direction and from over the hills and farmlands. Wandering the streets, there is a cry that soon goes up, investigating, one finds out the blacksmith is gone, tools he had been working, sitting there and a full barrel of horseshoes that has very little cool water left. As well, the healer in the room of the inn keepers wife had been knocked out and the woman was gone as well. The healer being awakened had fallen asleep only to find the woman up and striking the back of his head with part of the bed as a makeshift weapon. <br /> <br /> Kroth frowns, &quot;We must track them, quickly. If they get too far there is no telling if we can find them again.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks, idly double checking his rifle as he looks for some sign of where they may have wandered off to.<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls survival: (6)+3: 9<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls surival: (11)+surival: 11<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls survival: (3)+7: 10<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'I'll give the first roll + seven for 18. since it should have been that. You find some tracks of the direction where both had gone, more towards the center of town and a little north more near the council;s manor direction of things on the hill.'<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms as she finds some tracks and she kneels down, &quot;Well I have some tracks over here. More of the head to the center of twn although some go to the north. Isn't there a council's manor over that way?&quot;<br /> <br /> Out and about as the call goes out, some of the more helpful and less afraid city dwellers are out looking as well. <br /> <br /> Kroth helps look around, but really has no tracking skills, though he can see in the dark, for what thats worth.<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls survival: (6)+7: 13<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (7)+7: 14<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (15)+7: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (17)+10: 27<br /> <br /> As you all get closer to where the road would begin to rise up to the manner, Bell follows the tracks and right before they seem to vanish, though the high traffic there makes for more confusion so it could have been lost in that. All of you hear something though, like a movement, a patter of feet in damp confines coming from the sewer grate near the edge of the road. This follows with what sounds like something stumbling and grunting a little. <br /> <br /> Kroth moves over near the grate, looking inside to see whats down there...hopefully nothing stabs him in the face while he looks.<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks. &quot;Sewers... always the way, ain't it?&quot; The Absolution pulls a brass an crystal device from his belt, turning the knob so the crystal starts to glow with a faint yellow light, much like a torch, but without the heat and smoke. Unlikely to burn out, either. He does, however, keep his every burning torch away from ruining Kroth's night vision.<br /> <br /> Belladona wrinkles her nose a bit, &quot;Pretty much when it comes to adventuring.&quot; She says as she leads the way towards the sewers and she narrows her eyes to try to see if she can see anything.<br /> <br /> It is plain to see the woman, the innkeeper's wife, all still bandaged up, moving once more down along the sewer, the light catches its attantion, looking back and she hisses. She doesn't stop though, picking up speed now, moving akwardly with a what appears to be a broken arm and an ankle cocked at a weird angle, bones poking out form the wound, leaving a trail of blood behind her. <br /> <br /> Bennet focuses upon the woman, unsure if what she is now is like who she was before...<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls strength: (11)+3: 14<br /> <br /> Kroth grabs at the grate, starting to pull and try to rip it out of the ground.<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls strength: (10)+4: 14<br /> <br /> Bennet is not mighty. Lets the buff guys try, but when raw strength doesn't work, maybe a bit of celver leverage will do...<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls strength: (8)+1: 9<br /> <br /> Belladona goes to help Kroth out as she grips a hold of the grate and she yanks on it. &quot;Must be rusted.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, and keeps working. &quot;Keep pulling..&quot; He strains for a bit, pulling at the grate and working at it.<br /> <br /> Minutes have passed while you work at the grate and finally get it loose, there is plenty of space for everyone to get through and their equipment, but the woman is well gone, only leaving the small drops of blood to show which direction she has gone. North it seems though soon enough with the twists and turns that if one hurries one might get lost, but if not one might not catch up to the woman. <br /> <br /> Bennet follows the trail as best he can. Getting out again is a problem for later. &quot;Possession of some sort, I reckon. Something bad. Don't worry 'bout hurting them possessed, don't reckon is much of them left.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona goes to help get the grate off finally and she looks around. &quot;It might be those spider things that are inside of her.&quot; She suggests as she starts to lightly scratch on the wall with her knife to indicate the direction back out.<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, &quot;We must hurry, a simple villager is weak and can hardly resist evils such as this.&quot; He moves along, using his darkvision to see further ahead than the light would allow.<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona casts Barkskin. Caster Level: 4 DC: 15<br /> <br /> Bennet isn't fond of enclosed spaces, espically ones that stink of sewage. But the Absolution carries one quietly, now and again checking his weapon to assure himsefl all is in working order. A misfire is never a good thing, and even less so in the middle of combat.<br /> <br /> Belladona leads the way as ashe can see in the dark with Samafia by her side. She has her shield up and ready along with her claws.<br /> <br /> Kroth takes up the rear guard, looking back now and then to make sure nothing sneaks up on them while they are down here.<br /> <br /> As the party moves along the walkway, anyone stepping int the water won't like the smell that sticks with them for awhile after, but it isn't all that slippery. The weather has been fairly good, cold perhaps, but not too much rain lately. The soft whisper of feet and the current passes down the paths as they follow the blood. After a few turns, webbing begins to appear, in small patches, then in greater amounts the further one goes. <br /> <br /> It starts becoming more and more evident that indeed the suspicion of spiders might be the reason fro what is happening as there is far more webbing then can be accounted for being a dark place like this and the ever increasing amount as they follow the blood trail dripping here and there. Soon it stops though, as if something might have realized the trail it was leaving, bloody webs nearby. Samafia begins to growl a little, hair rising, something doesn't seem right to the animal, something is off.

Bell also notes the concentration of webs over head right where the stone is, bulging a little downward, the slight impression of something large and squarish made in it. <br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, &quot;This is strange, what sort of spider sets up a trap? There is something at work here, more than a spider.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Also, how would a crazed wounded woman get past this trap, and the webbing...&quot; Kroth adds.<br /> <br /> Bennet shrugs. &quot;Cross to the other side? Take the smell and walk in the muck? Reckon wouldn't hurt to just stand back and throw stones at it or something.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana has disconnected.<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#8): Vroole says, &quot;Just seeing who is around and who isn't at the moment.<br /> <br /> You paged Zenia with 'Awesome.'<br /> <br /> Lyrana has arrived.<br /> <br /> EVENTS: What tangled webs they weave again! is scheduled to start RIGHT NOW!<br /> <br /> Zenia has arrived.<br /> <br /> You paged Stirling with 'Indeed it is.'<br /> <br /> You paged Stirling with 'Hoping to get to the battle at the end here now. After a few others started figuring things out.'<br /> <br /> Bennet has arrived.<br /> <br /> Lyrana has reconnected.<br /> <br /> Lyrana has partially disconnected.<br /> <br /> Since arriving in the late afternoon, the adventurers have discovered that a malady of not a curse, but some outside force is taking over people. The signs of intense itching like something crawling around in their body was most likely some spider of some kind. The keys to this are the spectral webs around the ears, mouth and nose, almost like a funnel spiders in nature, waiting inside by the use of Detect magic. The innkeeper's wife and blacksmith have both wound up disappearing by nightfall and tracking them the wife was discovered int he sewers, clearly not herself, more like a robot being controlled, ankle and arm broken she didn't seemed phased, only hissed. By the time they got the sewer grate off she was gone. A blood trail was found from the broken ankle and it lead deeper into the sewers to the north of town with ever increasing amounts of spider webs. They were held up when the blood trail ended and a trap was discovered and there they were stopped for the moment. One at least rock depression on the ground was discovered and above a bulging web, like something heavy was being held in it and in a depression carved out of the roof of the sewer itself. <br /> <br /> There they sit and while they were figuring what to do other adventurer notified of the sewer escape have show up in time to help them out. The sewer itself is rather large with a two brick and stone walkways on either side, easily traversed by most people, the water, stinking in between is slow and lazy as it heads out towards the waterway to the north side of town. So the trap is there and everyone waits to see what those there and newly arrived might do. <br /> <br /> Bennet tsks mildly, holding aloft his room tempature Everyburning Torch, which does nothing particular to the webs. &quot;...times like this sorta wish had an old-fashion flame. Got a flint and bit of tinder, but reckon is damp enough may take a while to make a spark. Iffen any of ya'll got ideas, I'm listening.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet says, &quot;*Everburning Torch&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms a little bit, &quot;Well normally I prepare produce flame, but recently I had need of some mists instead so I switched it out. I do carry flint and steel with me to help start a fire when needed.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling attaches a tank to his large gleaming chrome gauntlet. &quot;If it gets thick we will burn our way through, I prepared some fuel for my flamethrower but it won't last long.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana does step back a bit, &quot;Well if you are going to do that we should probably move back a bit.&quot;<br /> <br /> Approaching in titan armor, Zenia looks about and whistles. &quot;Dang.&quot; she says, &quot;This is a HUGE infestation, how'd it get this big?&quot; she asks, then holds up her deathray as the chamber rolls from a glowing blue to a glowing orange. &quot;Yeah, if we need fire I've got plenty of power in the ray. Or we could try other things, anyone tried talking to these spidery things? I mean they're... PROBABLY not mindless unless we're dealing with some kind of servitor race to a greater amoral or immoral creature.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;They're evil.&quot; Which is all Bennet thinks needs said on that matter.<br /> <br /> Stirling shrugs &quot;Dont want to waste fuel if I dont need to, lets just press on and squish em'&quot; he shoulders through some of the webs, pulling them down with his gauntlets if in the way.<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls Disable Device: (2)+9: 11<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls Reflex: (13)+6: 19<br /> <br /> Belladona moves back to let the artificer try to disable the trap. &quot;Well if the trap goes off maybe it will trap the spiders in there.&quot;<br /> <br /> Clink! KA-CHUNK! Clank. It seems that Zenia is trying to remove the trap then glances back in a distracted manner momentarily as she says, &quot;We've got no idea what they're after though, can't really stop them per se unless we have a good idea of that.&quot;<br /> <br /> As Zenia tried to disable the trap, something clicks and the raised rock lowers, it is enough of a warning that Zenia is able to toss herself back a mere few inches less and the giant square stone block might have caught her foot or more indeed if she hadn't responded so quickly. The stone hits the ground hard, several feet across and several feet up, enough to make something very squashed or several if it hadn't been seen, but not high enough to block off the sewer either. The webbing above that held the stone is ripped, like it was design to give as a sharp blade parted it along the bottom to let the stone drop.

Not only will the weapon work, but it will keep doing so for a while... in theory. &quot;Only hurt my pride.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling tries to light his cigar in the damp, trying several times to get it started before it takes &quot;Nothing that cant be fixed by crushing a few more critters.&quot;<br /> <br /> The path continues to grow with the amount of webs everywhere, over walls and floor, the paths becoming more treacherous to walk on, though they aren't strong enough to,hold anyone down, they could hamper movement in combat if it were to happen. The only clear part of the sewer is the water that flows along lazily, along with other things that float in it and the ever present smell of things people might put down a toilet from above. First Lyrana and Stirling hear something, like what one might wonder what a spider speaking sounds like. (OOC both of you pose first then Aevarr can pose, back to free pose after while they are hearing that.

She hears something ahead and it sounds very intelligent. She relays the info to the others behind her as they sneak forward.<br /> <br /> Stirling moves along third in the group, taping the disc at his chest to make sure its still working.

It allows the party to move forward to an opening the sounds came from on the right. Into the a large room, 40 across and 40 feet in width. A drainage basin room one might find for when the sewer overflows. The spider webs are even thicker here and along the sides several body size web cocoons are there, they aren't moving and two are partially done it seems over a large male, the blacksmith and another the wife of the inn keeper. A ten foot path rings a pit in the middle, across from them sits a human size blue humanoid figure with a face of a spider and sickle like arms. It is looking at them pointing at them as two more giant spiders work from either side of the room and one above climbing along the ceiling on the webs. Several other smaller spiders can be seen, not looking to get confrontational as they are maybe a finger nail in width and seem to be crawling over the newly acquired food in the two humans being wrapped up.<br /> <br /> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ATTENTION -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-<br /> <br /> Vroole has dropped a TIMESTOP!<br /> <br /> Please +init, then cease all roleplay and actions immediately and wait for Vroole to instruct you further.<br /> <br /> For additional in-combat commands, please type: +thelp.<br /> <br /> -=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls initiative: Roll: 2 + Bonus: 3 = Total: 5<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls initiative: Roll: 20 + Bonus: 2 = Total: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: You roll initiative for Stirling: Roll: 10 + Bonus: +3 = Total: 13<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole advances the initiative order.<br /> <br /> Round One - Init 22.<br /> <br /> It is now Lyrana's turn!

Raising the Gate to his shoulder, the Absolution centers the sight on the Ettercap, and thunder rolls though the room again.

She points to the other giant spider, &quot;Samafa attack!&quot; She calls out as she grips her claws and rushes down as well. Samafa dodges the clumsy attempt by the spider to bite her when she ges close. The lioness leaps up to bite down into the spider's abdomen and Belladona charges down and her claws cut deep into the spider's head to kill it.

It doesn't take much to blow the rest of the bug apart, leaving a small burning hole where it had been.<br /> <br /> Lyrana moves around, &quot;Does anyone need healing?&quot; she asks and then does move to check the blacksmith and innkeeper's wife.<br /> <br /> Belladona shakes her head, &quot;no I'm all right.&quot; She says as she startsto go to cut out the victems as Samafa starts to pound and tear at the smaller spiders.<br /> <br /> Stirling shrinks down to regular size and stretched his arms &quot;Well thats a good bit of fun, wasn't it?&quot; he says with a grin to Bennett.<br /> <br /> Twirling a small disc on a leather strap, Zenia nods as well. &quot;Yeah, I can do that too actually.&quot; then looks at those in the webs and pauses, before realizing that there are -people- in there. &quot;OH CRAP!&quot; she says, rushing over towards them and helping to tear the webs with her armor. &quot;Hey, are you two OK?&quot; she asked, looking somewhat panicked.<br /> <br /> Bennet blehs, moving to check on the ones trapped. &quot;Could have done without them crawling on me...&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet ews... &quot;So... all in favor of burning this place and every brain-eating spider in it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yep.&quot; Zenia says, &quot;Provided it doesn't... Y'know, actually blow up the town above. Don't want that happening.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana nods her head, &quot;Sounds good to me, or at least ordering an extermination team to come down and do it.&quot; she shakes her head a bit.<br /> <br /> After the Ettercap was killed the spiders it had controlled were not much of a problem, not that the Ettercap was either it seems as the group had smacked it around pretty quick, which was probably a good thing. The people that had been taken are all found to be dead, most with enlarged holes at ear, mouth or nose, like something had burst outward after they were being strung up and preserved. None have survived the trauma the little control spiders had had on them, a good portion of the motor control part of the brain having been eaten out and the husks taken over like zombies almost to bring back for food for the spiders and the Ettercap to feast on. Horse's daughter is nothing but a skinned bag of bones, hollow and quite not a pretty sight after almost three weeks having been drained. As most others that fat back. The wizard not having been found would later be found and discovered to have gotten into a fight with a few other spiders and having a fear of such blew his whole house up with himself inside. <br /> <br /> The people of Derry are happy, even if sad as well that their loved ones could not be returned to them, the drainage room being closed, bricked up after being burned with all the webs in the sewers with it. It will never be used again or allowed to be used as a lair for such foul creatures. It was best left to memory and letting it be buried away, or so most of Derry had agreed upon.</div>

Well that is what Nerm thinks anyway as one of Reos’ soldiers of faith. Now others might find him ill fitted as he has only been in the order for a short time now, for Khazad years anyway. Young and full of spunk, he is in Alexandria to slay evil and bring light to the darkest corners of the world, all in Reos name as the Great Maker. He is often quoted in saying, “If it is made and used for evil. It can be unmade.” All while wielding his large scythe, the weapon he considers the best thing for unmaking things with and sending it back to Reos. <br /> <br /> [[Category:Player]]<br /> [[Category:Khazad]][[Category:Paladin]][[Category:Alexandran]]</div>

Several Farms have been overrun and their occupants taken or killed, none know which yet. After the first encounter though they aren't taking chances this time and any reports of webs and things with eight legs they call for the true heroes of the land. And you few have heeded the call, for money for glory, for absolute disgust of spiders, whatever the reason in the end it comes down to putting down the rise of these foul creatures one way or another. <br /> <br /> Once more as you meet at the gates, Horse and Gunny are waiting with the cart like the last time, the older man is happy to see some of those that were there the last time and shakes their hands. &quot;I know you couldn't have saved my daughter... I knew it the night she dissapeared, but thank you for avenging her death. But we got another crop of trouble brewing and it may be connected to the first one.&quot; <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay so, pose getting there and any questions, for those that were involved with the first. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;You can pose meeting Gunny and Horse again.&quot;<br /> <br /> The forest was like a third home to Talazia, with the first two being Silvermoon and Elvengate. She quietly walks up towards Gunny and the horse, and nods quietly. She already has an arrow on her bow. This could be scary enough.<br /> <br /> Kroth is quiet, he is here to fight, consoling those that have lost is not a talent he possesses. The goal is to prevent more loss of life, so he waits until the group can move and find something he can punch, thats always the simple answer...hit something.<br /> <br /> While her crafting designs can look complex at times, Takiyah is fairly straightforward when it comes to trouble: find the ones responsible, and stop them as needed.<br /> <br /> Brianna has disconnected.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;WEll hope she comes back.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Moving on.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;perception rolls.&quot;<br /> <br /> Taro carries a worn two-handed axe over one shoulder. He lopes through the outdoor terrain like an Oruch more accustomed to life outside the city than in. &quot;Spiders...&quot; he muses. &quot;I wonder how they taste.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Perception: (15)+6: 21<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Takiyah says, &quot;AFK for dinner.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls perception: (7)+11: 18<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls perception: (12)+8: 20<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (4)+7: 11<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Okay also heading into the forest itself and up the path towards the mountainous hills, what's the marching order?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Taro is willing to be in the front<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia is not at the front. I'm an archer, so I really can't be up front...unless I'm tracker.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Taro will lead the way then!<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth will pull rear guard or second.<br /> <br /> The cart having been abandoned back at the treeline before entering the forest, Gunny and Horse wave to them and wish them good luck, even saying they will wait there for them for two days, after that they will head back to Derry. The path leads upward, its not too bad of a climb really, more a test of stamina with the angle being gentle, but constantly rising. A few switch back paths to get up the more elevated parts and the first sogns of what the party was worried about begin to appear. Webs here and there on trees and on bushes, even a few small drained corpses of smaller animals, nothing much bigger than a squirrel or rabbit at the largest, nothing the size of a human or anything close to that being found. <br /> <br /> Taro begins to pant as the party climbs. &quot;Too much easy living,&quot; he complains.<br /> <br /> Kroth moves along with the group, he grins faintly, &quot;Excercise, its good for your body, lets you live longer.&quot; He keeps a wary eye out though for large things with many legs that might try to attack them.<br /> <br /> Talazia isn't breaking a sweat yet. but then again....she's used to the forest. &quot;Pace yourself, Taro. Don't put everything you have into one push.&quot; She says climbing easily.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia says, &quot;oh yeah. If we're in the forest, it's my favored terrain&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia says, &quot;so +2 to perception and all that.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged (Takiyah, Talazia, Taro) with 'There is a flash of many eyes then gone, a rustle softly of leaves overhead, not unlike wind might produce, but the tension of the surroundings and the webs increase. There is a sense something is watching you, not yet ready to reveal itself.'<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Another perception roll while those that were paged are posing.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia says, &quot;us too?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;All should roll.&quot;<br /> <br /> Taro's eyes shift back and forth. He takes his axe off of his shoulder and instead carries it with both hands, ready for use.<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls perception+2: (9)+11+2: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls perception: (15)+8: 23<br /> <br /> Climbing some more, Talazia looks around and smirks a bit. &quot;We are being watched. Be ready.&quot; Blunt, isn't she?<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Takiyah returns from dinner; checks backscroll.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;perception roll Kroth and Takiyah.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Perception: (15)+6: 21<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (7)+7: 14<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Man, my perception sucks tonight&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged (Taro, Talazia, Takiyah) with 'Taro first notices it being in the lead, a mere foot step away from it. Another lays beyond and then two more at an even five feet. Cleverly hidden by leaves =, but not enough once one knows how to look for them. Beyond there is a movement of the path itself off to the right and left, a settling of dust almost as if something had moved in a circular path about five feet around.'<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole nods, &quot;Well better atleast one of you get a good roll. And especially Taro this time. :P<br /> <br /> Takiyah grips her longspear. &quot;Looks like we got company,&quot; the gobber Forge mutters. &quot;About four of them, plus at least a pair trying to surround us.&quot;<br /> <br /> Talazia says, &quot;I see them.&quot; She then chuckles. &quot;bad idea to try and surround us though.&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> Taro comes to an abrupt halt! He bounces his axe in his handca few times, peering ahead. &quot;There!&quot; he suddenly barks. &quot;Lets get them!&quot; He urges, clearly only heartbeats from charging.<br /> <br /> Kroth frowns, looking around and slipping on his brass knuckles, but apparently he doesn't see what everyone else does, so he just readies for a fight.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;all roll a reflex save for me.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls reflex: (20)+5: 25 (CRITICAL SUCCESS)<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Reflex: (4)+4: 8<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls reflex: (14)+4: 18<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Talazia?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;and give me a second roll Taro on reflex.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;You might get a chance to help someone out.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Taro rolls reflex: (19)+5: 24<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls reflex: (15)+7: 22<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia says, &quot;Sorry. RL got me&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;alright posing now what is happening. Its all good..&quot;<br /> <br /> The circular puffs of dust that were spotted by a few, rise up, the dust settling as two boulders are lifted out of the ground and sent rolling down the path towards the party. Diving out of the way isn't all that hard for most of the group, but Takiyah seems a bit frozen. Thankfully for Taro, he notices this and tackles her out of the way of the rolling boulders. Before they get to them, they roll over the webs along the path and tree trunks, eight feet long and thick as a man swing through the path, a several part trap appears to have been setup, the trees crashing together as the boulders pass by and down the path, crashing into other things further on. The path itself is blocked though and there is shittering as six spiders walking like crabs scuttle out of the woods behind the party and two giant spiders leap up to the top f the barricading trees ahead of them, indeed they are surrounded. <br /> <br /> Huh?

As Takiyah moves to engage it, a sly grin spreads across Taro's face. He walks in a slow circle around the combat, axe ready. He moves until he's next to it when Takiyah misses and falls. As the spider misses as well, Taro has circled around behind it. He brings the giant axe crashing down, the force shearing into the spider's midsection and smashing it to the ground. &quot;Hah! All those eyes and you didn't see that coming!&quot;<br /> <br /> Talazia stares a bit, but smiles. &quot;Hopefully there aren't any more of those things.&quot; She says looking up towards the mountain. &quot;Come on. the sonner we get this done....&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole nods, &quot;So they will end before any other encounter then. but if anyone is doing healing it might help at this point I'm guessing?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia says, &quot;definitely.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth grimaces, checking his wounds, but nothing seems too serious. He wipes off the goo on his hands and looks around, &quot;We will need to keep going, there will be more I assume.&quot;<br /> <br /> Takiyah stands back up and wipes the soles of her shoes on a chunk of ground that doesn't have spider guts splattered on it. &quot;How badly hurt is everyone?&quot; she checks.<br /> <br /> Talazia says, &quot;Ow.&quot; Talazia says with a chuckle. &quot;I was hurt, but it's nothing major. What about the rest of you?&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> Huh? (Type &quot;help&quot; for help.)<br /> <br /> Kroth shakes his head, &quot;It is not bad, I should be fine.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;So how will you all proceed from here on out, it wouldn't be hard to get around the pile and discover two of the spiders where hiding under the boulders that got rolled down.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;I guess moving on up?

Nature mostly, but geography might help too.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged (Taro, Talazia) with 'Both you have catch a thing that comes to mind. both these types of spiders working together as they did and with complex trap making with it? Not exactly something that would be normal, by far. That should intrigue you both at this point.'<br /> <br /> Taro peers at the remains of the nearest spider. He probably doesn't realize it but he's licking his lips. Then he turns suddenly, at something Kroth says. &quot;Normally I would say there shouldn't be be more - but something is unnatural about these spiders.&quot; He turns back to the carcass. &quot;Something more than just the obvious,&quot; he amends. He thinks about it some more. Then he starts looking from one dead spider to the next.<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, &quot;Why? Spiders have lots of babies right? Or maybe this is something related to all the missing people.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged (Taro, Talazia) with '+For one, they aren't often that keen on traps, using stealth more then often if anything is very unusual also.'<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;AFK 10&quot;<br /> <br /> Talazia says, &quot;besudes they're working together, and they don't often use traps. There's more to this. Someone's leading them.&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> Taro moves over to stand between two of slain spiders. He holds his axe in one hand and uses it to point at one spider. &quot;She's right. This one,&quot; he begins, before shifting his axe to gesture at the next. &quot;And this one, are different kinds of spiders.&quot; Maybe he should do an impromptu taste test, just to be sure? Er... &quot;And that WAS a trap.&quot; He nods in agreement with Talazia now. &quot;She's right, someone or something must be controlling them.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;How do you want to aproach the mountain itself ahead and the face of it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Taro wants to use stealth!<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Anyone else want to take that route?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth can do stealth<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Takiyah says, &quot;It's... doable, if only because I'm size small.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia can do stealth.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia says, &quot;we going up a mountain?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;No, only moving up to it.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia says, &quot;K. so I can use my bonus for stealth.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;yup, so stealthing it up then sounds like the plan, give me some rolls.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls stealth+2: (10)+10+2: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah rolls Stealth: (19)+2: 21<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls stealth: (1)+6: 7 (EPIC FAIL)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Yes...of course&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Group stealth is never the answer&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Taro?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm going to pose then. epic fail kid of kills.

Just as they are getting closer, a few more tree lines the mountain itself hinted, and even a cave as well. The webbing all around and far more corpses of animals, some deer and larger animals now are present, strung up into the branches. None look human though, but then Kroth takes a tumble over a log, and falls flat on his face, perhaps a louder then whispered curse goes out as well and a strange voice speaking common, &quot;Something is out there.. Have the guardians go check it out.&quot; With that, there is skuttling coming from the mountain and cave direction specifically, right for the group. Perhaps a minute to prepare themselves or come up with some plan for what is approaching. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Four isn't as bad as it could be to try it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lightly clicking her tongue as Korth goes flop, Talazia hears the speak and blinks. &quot;SOmething's coming.....&quot;<br /> <br /> Takiyah sighs. &quot;Well, since they know we're coming...&quot; she mutters, casting a spell to invoke the Blessing of Reos.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Taro you there?&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Takiyah casts Bless.

Suddenly he lunges at it, claws outstretched. But through chance or desing the creature raises a leg and plants the tip on Taro's head, holding him at bay. Its humiliating, for a moment Taro's hands flail helplessly in midair as he's held at bay. But in in his already enraged state it also fuels his fury. Taro grabs the spider's leg and twists it savagely out of the way. He goes on twisting, until it pops off.

He plants his axe on the ground and leans against it. &quot;I will be,&quot; he says finally. &quot;I just need to catch my breath.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Taro really AFKs now :)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;With help you from Taro you get out Tak, pose it.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;OR I mean Tala.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Uh, a little help here?&quot; asks Takiyah, her voice somewhat muffled by the webbing. Talazia helps the gobber out of her entanglement. &quot;Thanks,&quot; the Forge smiles at Talazia.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Didnt we hear voices earlier?&quot;<br /> <br /> As you gather yourselves together and help Takiyah out of the web trouble, it is far more quiet, but there is something said. It carries over the wind and for most it would be words like a flower growing, but spoken in such a way, the raspy words grate more even if spoken in the elven tongue. It carries from the cave and seems to grow more distant as the few seconds pass by... <br /> <br /> You paged (Taro, Talazia) with 'Talaziq'<br /> <br /> Talazia pages: calling out my name, hmm?<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;roll knowledge nature Talazia&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;not really that was a mess up. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls knowledge/nature: (4)+7: 11<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia says, &quot;add 2.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, looking around, &quot;Well, we just have to go beat up whatever is speaking that language.&quot; He nods his head, straightening his brass knuckles.<br /> <br /> Talazia pages: So what'd it say?<br /> <br /> You paged Talazia with 'The words you hear are like your natural tongue, but twisted and dark. No natural elf had spoken them, but something about it pulls at a memory. the sound is clearly leaving in the opposit direction even as it says, &quot;Come... you as well. Time will give us victory... it is only the beginning.&quot;'<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm lagging a little here too.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Taro says, &quot;Whew back&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;trying a reset.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;there we go.&quot;<br /> <br /> Talazia smiles to Takiyah. &quot;it's no problem. Spider webs can be sticky but they're not trouble if you take enough time.&quot; She then looks towards the cave. &quot;Strange. it's speaking Sildanyari.&quot; She says with a tilt of her head. &quot;Only the beginning, hmm? I think it's leaving.&quot;<br /> <br /> Anger flashes once more across Taro's face. He raises his axe and takes a step towards the cave - and then stumbles and nearly falls. Cursing, he glances at Talazia. &quot;What? What's leaving? What is it?&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Kroth nods, &quot;We should go kill it then, its probably whats causing all this, commanding the spiders, killing people.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;roll perception. give me two each person.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls perception+2: (6)+11+2: 19<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls perception+2: (17)+11+2: 30<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talaziaalso hates to do this, but it's bedtime for me. 2am come so quickly.<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (12)+7: 19<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (6)+7: 13<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;you have survival roll ti first and I'll @mail everyone the end.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;its pretty much over.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Talazia rolls survival+2: (15)+9+2: 26<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia says, &quot;add +1 to the end of it.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;thanks I'll @mail you the last pose.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia says, &quot;ranger and all.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole nods.<br /> <br /> Talazia poses something first.<br /> <br /> Talazia says, &quot;I don't know what it is, but it said 'Come...

Death is but a door, Time but a window, I'll be back :P&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged Talazia with 'If you take a twenty later to study and figure it out... You'll come up with Drider. so you can RP that later to anyone here you might RP with at some point.'<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Kroth grunts &quot;Sounds evil.&quot; he nods a bit, &quot;We should kill it.&quot; Yes, the simple choices.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Talazia pages: Got it. anyways...off to bed.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia says, &quot;nini guys.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia says, &quot;sorry about that.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged Talazia with 'That and I plan on making this ongoing too.'<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Taro waves!<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;its all good. its over.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;thanks for playing.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Thanks for GMing!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;one more Pose to end.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Talazia says, &quot;okie. that's done. night.&quot;<br /> <br /> Talazia has disconnected.<br /> <br /> When approaching the cave itself, signs are seen of a large party of creatures had been there the signs that they had headed west, most eight legged, at least 3 and another walking on two, even if the prints all look similar in fashion like spider legs left them. Investigating the cave reveals a few more traps and lots of webs to get by. Smaller spiders around, but nothing that seems aggressive or bigger than a fingernail in size. Further investigation reveals a few written correspondences that are written in the Elven language. Having it translated later on shows that it is times and numbers, one the exact number before that had tries to hold Derry and drain it dry of people. Highlighting the advancement of the new brain bug spider that had been taking them over and in great detail the form it takes in doing so. It eats out the motor control portion of the brain, the itching a side effect of the process as it eats and connects itself tot he nervous system there so that it may deliver fully blooded, fresh meat to other spiders if needed. A second letter, speaks of the cave they had found, a base of operations that needed to be abandoned and the process moved up into the mountains before others discover what is happening and the offensive is squashed before they can complete their goals in preparation. <br /> <br /> Returning to the base of the path is simple, seems whatever was there has moved back or ran away to leave the area alone, at least for now or so the second letter shadows that it might not be over yet. Horse and Gunny take the adventurers back to Derry for a feast and congratulations of meats, bread, cheeses of all kinds along with many desserts, veggies and fruits to follow after.</div>

Vroole http://www.tenebraemush.net/index.php?title=What_Tangled_Webs_They_Weave&diff=16168 2014-12-06T06:35:50Z

<p>Vroole: </p> <hr /> <div> An older farmer waits at the gates of Alexandria, a cart and two horses hitched to it are ready for the party of adventurers to the township of Derry. He smiles and tips his hat, &quot;Well don't this beat all. A much pleasant sight to see all these fine young folk so willing to help old Derry out.&quot; He seems in a pretty good mood and waves them on over to the cart, &quot;Nothing is enough for all you grand folk. A ride if you need it, we have a decent leg of a trip to be getting to and the more time we waste here the more Derry falls under the curse its found itself in.&quot; <br /> <br /> He turns and hops up into the driver seat, only then does the grey image of someone cloaked in the mists move, a old blunderbuss style type gun in his grasp, and leans it over his shoulder. This one doesn't look so happy in his weather beaten hat and the first calms all of the Adventures, &quot;Don't mind old Gunny there. He don't like strangers. You can call me Horse. Parents always knew I'd be a cart man, but they decided Carter was to common a name for such, besides every lady knows I'm hung like a...&quot; Gunny shoulders the man, he was getting to personal and the grumpy one grunts to warn him, &quot;Excuse me, living' on the road I suppose one doesn't require manners all that much? So, how about we get some names while we get this party movin'?&quot; A vert talkative one tot seems and even as those riding in the wagon get on, he snaps the reigns and they are off, seems talking on the way might be the way to go about it. Several large furs are also in the wagon, seems that everyone is going to be expected to sleep in the wagon perhaps till the reach Derry on the next afternoon. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;As an aside, can I get healed fully?&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana cocks her head to the side as she listens, &quot;I do not understand the reference, Hung like a? Are you talking about hanging from a tree or something?&quot; the war golem asks as she looks at the guy. &quot;Oh, I forget myself, I am Lyrana of the Temple of Daeus.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;you know I should learn how to do that stuff, unless Whirl there does it, not sure how that works.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;What's up?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Which stuff? :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Oh, damaging.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;cIt's prett&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;It's easy. :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;the healing and all that.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Whirlpool damaged you for -100 points. 16 remaining.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;There. :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;so you do take care of that then as we go. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Silmeria,&quot; a blond in a breastplate and black velvet dress answers, cheeks practically glowing at the nearly-completed comparison. &quot;Temple of Vardama... May I ask, um... what's been ''happening'' out in Derry? Only I'd heard the rumors, but...&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling follows along on his own horse scruffy black warhorse, enormous black deathray seated across the saddle in front of him. Between that and his enormous chrome gauntlets there can be little doubt what the artifice intends to do. He does offers the farmer a friendly nod and grunt but little else in the way of idle chatter.<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'Also does anyone in this group have any like auto detect magics of any kind?'<br /> <br /> Korrani unloads her pack for the long ride and settles down in a small puddle of furs, sitting on the floor of the cart. She leans her back against the 'driver side' of the cart and draws one knee up to rest an arm on it. She tips her hooded head to Lyrana. &quot;Best you not ask for the rest of that sentence. Korrani Penfast. Adventurer for hire.&quot;<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: You can aks them as DM. :)<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: But no. :)<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'Didn't want to give some info out, so they go hey why did he ask about detect magic and use something because I let the cat out of the bag.'<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: Understandable. :)<br /> <br /> Indeed Horse was going to answer the woman since she asked, but it seems Korrani had gotten the idea and for the moment he lets it be, &quot;PEople have been disappearing... Actin' strange, says their skin itches, scratchin and rippin their clothes over a day. Next mornin they are gone, some say they see em get up and wandering the streets. Tried followin them, many have, but they always dissapear before the mornin.&quot; Gunny jsut snorts and grunts in acknowledgment, seems the one calling shotgun doesn't have many words. Almost the perfect pair it seems if you wanted to put too extremes of conversationilst together. <br /> <br /> Lyrana looks at Korrani, &quot;Why would I not ask for the rest? I already did.&quot; she shakes her head, &quot;Still don't fully understand organics at times.&quot; she says and shakes her head again. She nods herhead, &quot;Alive or dead or just seem like it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; BeagleHugs o.o<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;We've discovered a problem. xD&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Just a help file issue. :) CArry on.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;(Sorry for the spam, guys. XD)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; BeagleHugs says, &quot;Fixed!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;The +prhelp command here was borked. :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Vroole, there you go. ALl the info you need.&quot;<br /> <br /> The cart bounces along the uneven cart path towards the east, Horse very happy to tell what he knows, &quot;They seem alright, perhaps not themselves either. Anyone tryin to talk to them only get. A hello, and out for a walk, somethin like that, but never why they are up, or where all of them have been goin. Lost around twenty folk so far, another five at least or maybe a few more by the time we get there tomorrow.&quot; Horse sighs a little and shakes his head, &quot;Lost me own we littin also, one of the first to vanish. I hopin she is alright and you all can find her.&quot; Sadness creeps into the little old man... <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;cool&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We will,&quot; Silmeria says, &quot;do everything in our power to get them back, Master Horse, Master Gunny.&quot; Settling back in the cart, she goes about the preparations to see that she can accomplish exactly that; checking the action of her crossbow, the edge of her sword, and the fit of her armor as the cart bounces along its way toward the town.<br /> <br /> &quot;Mind Control? What about the itchiness and scratching themselves until they rip their clothes?&quot; Korrani asks, unfamiliar with the workings of magic or mind control.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;let me know if anyone has anymore questions or not and we can FF.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Is there any rhyme or reason with who disappears? Anything in common?&quot; Korrani asks. &quot;What they did, where they went, what they ate...?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana says, &quot;all good to ff here&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Good to go.&quot;<br /> <br /> Horse nods a bit and looks back, a little teary in his eyes, &quot;Thank you. I was very happy the council decided to put up the money to hire you all.&quot; He then shakes his head to Korrani's question, &quot;Nothin we hadn't been eatin' all the time. Our own growin' from the fields. Or from animals we have always raised. Perhaps if there is someone that is bein' cursed you will see. Very few days these last week there hasn't been one or two.&quot; <br /> <br /> The cart keeps moving all night long and well into the next day, the sun dipping towards the horizon before the town of Derry comes into view when the wagon rolls over one of the larger hills. The countryside had gradually changed from woods to farms and fields since the mid days meal when the sun was high and Horse seems to be tired, but he also seems determined to get all of you there before another day passes. &quot;There be Derry...&quot; Horse says it with such pride and comfort that they are finally going to be there, the clomp of hooves on the dirt, a person passing by now and again, giving greeting those up front and then those riding behind. None seem to ill affected and most look like they are farmers and would probably not live int he town proper. Smoke begins to curl up from the houses surrounded by an eight foot wall that encircles Derry proper and all the shops, inns and other main businesses of the town, including those that are a little better off when it comes to coins in their purses. The smell of dinner is in the air, all sorts of meet like spices and the roasting of vegetables and the boiled tint of stews and soups being cooked over the hearths. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'll wait for a pose or two from everyone here then pose again.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling grumbles from his saddle &quot;Bit rustic ain't it? Anyhow lets make with the standard Arvek Nar mental recalibration and get a piece of whatevers cooking. Be a shame to leave here on an empty stomach.&quot; he notes with a grin.<br /> <br /> Aevarr says, &quot;As cozy as this is,&quot; Aevarr pipes up, &quot;are we certain we wish to travel to a town of strange itching and people running off into the night? It rather makes my skin crawl. Remind me of nightmare tales concerning a brothel or three... heard third-hand, of course...&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Aevarr makes that an @emit.<br /> <br /> Korrani scoots a little to put some distance between her and Aevarr at this talk of brothel itch. &quot;You should've thought of that before accepting the guild ticket on this one. Too late to go back now,&quot; Korrani grins tuskily.<br /> <br /> &quot;Not that we'd return even if we had the choice,&quot; Silmeria notes, looking up from her sword. &quot;Good people need help, after all...&quot; A small, sad smile passes over her face as they pass the walls, the blnd drawing in a slow, deep breath. &quot;It's a lovely town, Master Horse, Master Gunny... don't you worry, we'll set things right as well as we can.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana stretches as she gets out of the cart now that they have arrived. She glances around and then nods her head a it, &quot;Well we should get to it, so we can find and then complete the task, helping this village.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana refreshes spells.<br /> <br /> GAME: Silmeria refreshes spells.<br /> tirling dismounts as well, slinging the enormous firearm across his back &quot;Right, let slap some sense into these people and get some dinner. I am famished.&quot; he says flexing his chrome gauntlets, seems he means it too.<br /> <br /> &quot;I'll let the council know you have arrived.&quot; Horse nods to them all, &quot;Gunny here will show you to the house where the first time it happened. You are welcome to eat anythin' as I was told food will be waitin' for you, I don't go home myself anymore, but I'll send word with who is afflicted once I know who is. I will be quick adventurers.&quot; With that Horse runs off to the biggest house or building in the middle of town and Gunny shows you to Horses house. Even now a few of the women and men of the town are setting up the table with all sorts of different foods for different tastes and palletes. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;if you want to discuss a preplan, now is good while I get the next pose in order with more info.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, let's get started slapping people about. I'm sure that will make them much more talkative...&quot; Aevarr chuckles dryly as he disembarks and happily stretches his legs. He then looks to the others. &quot;Jests and brothels aside, does anyone have the slightest thought of what could be the cause of this?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I think we'll know more if we can see any afflicted,&quot; Silmeria says, sheathing her sword and running a hand through her hair. &quot;I'm tempted to call it some sort of pestilence for the moment... but, I'm no trained healer.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shrugs &quot;Right, we dunno what could be doing it, really hard to tell until we see folks? With any luck its some upstart wizard messing around with magics beyond him and he just needs to be put in his place.&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani grunts as she gets up from the cart and picks up her pack, then hops off the cart lightly. She places her hands on her lower back and stretches her spine. &quot;That was some journey,&quot; she sighs. She glances at the setting up of food. &quot;Don't know if I want to eat anything here until we have some idea of what could be the cause...&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr considers the food, then considers it much less. &quot;She makes a strong point for rations, in this case.&quot; Instead, he starts looking for Horse, their handy handholder into the haggard history of happenings in this hapless hamlet.<br /> <br /> Silmeria approaches the table despite the complaints of the others, smiling gently and offerng her thanks for sharing what they have. &quot;I know these are hard times,&quot; she says of one of the villagers, and I know the questions are harder still... but... was there anything... anything at all, really... that the people had in common who fell to this sickness? Other than living here, of course.&quot;<br /> <br /> Horse doesn't return, but a messenger does carrying a scroll, just a plain ordinary scroll with writing, more like a record of names, ages and dates of who has been afflicted and disappeared. Twenty three names show previous dates and the fact they are missing, two currently are noted as that day having complained of being itchy and should be watched. The Garden Lock, an inn, his wife in her thirties, another the Blacksmith himself. &quot;If you need the council let me know I'll be waiting outside.&quot; Perhaps the records might help answer some questions, maybe not, but clearly there are two people that can be checked out as well. <br /> <br /> Stirling nods to the comment about the food &quot;Right, good thinking keeping to our own. Shall we be on our way then? Find out whats going on here.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;Anyone else?&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani walks over to look at the list. &quot;Hmm. Perhaps we should talk to the infected first? See if we can have them restrained to prevent them from walking off?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Anyone else or we lose some people?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria is posing.<br /> <br /> Stirling nods to Korrani &quot;Sounds like a plan. Whose first on the list?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling is good to go.<br /> <br /> &quot;Probably for the best,&quot; Silmeria says, &quot;though perhaps it might not be quite so wise to talk of restraint when we don't know if they've been, or need it just yet?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;So what's the plan?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani is good to go, too.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Check out the afflicted.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr nods in agreement. &quot;So long as we don't need to talk to them too closely...&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Which first, the blacksmith or the inn keeper's wife?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;The ...uh...Blacksmith?&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani wrap her hooded scarf around her neck a few more times, then tucks it in at certain places to allow it to cover her nose and mouth as an impromptu protective mask.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria nod, blacksmith sounds like a plan.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Kitten isn't being very cooperative either, many keys are being pressed. and alright&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I miss anything since my pose?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Nope&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shoulders into the workshop with his deathray across his shoulder. &quot;Hilderman is it? Put the hammer down and lets have a word.&quot; the large hobgoblin does not seem to leave any room for argument.<br /> <br /> Silmeria follows Stirling into the workshop, lips pursing at the artificer's tone. Slipping to one side by the door, she stands, silent for the moment to see how the blacksmith reacts.<br /> <br /> The Blacksmith shakes his head, &quot;Can't be doing that... work, it keeps the itching at bay. The heat... I don't want to itch, don't want to tear me flesh off to make it stop.&quot; Brock looks to them, his motions never faltering even as he speaks to them, &quot;Won't go to sleep... Need to stay awake and not itch.&quot; He shakes a little, shivering as if he is resisting, even as he stops for a moment only, &quot;Don't take away my work...&quot; The hammer begins to swing again and again like, one thing is obvious the man was very skilled as the metal easily began to shape itself, bending and then the hiss of heated metal and another piece of metal is grabbed form the fire to be shaped into a horseshoe, the water in the barrel spills over, even as it begins to settle once more level with the top and the mass of the shoe displaced inside. How many things were inside that barrel? <br /> <br /> Korrani walks in with the others, looking around the blacksmithy as Stirling grabs Brock's attention. &quot;We won't take away your work. We're from Alexandria to investigate the mystery illness that's affecting Derry. Can you tell us anything about what you were doing before started showing symptoms?&quot; she asks.<br /> <br /> &quot;Please,&quot; Silmeria says from her place by the door. &quot;It's very important, Master Hilderman... If we can learn how the itching started, we might be able to learn how to stop it.&quot;<br /> <br /> The blacksmith nods, &quot;Woke up that way, at first it was only a tingle. like a foot that had almost gone to sleep. It kept getting worse, its almost unbearable even now. I can't concentrate, getting tired, my mind is fuzzy. Work still helps, the heat as if it sears the nerves, to soothe the itch. But its not working as well now... You are the adventurer's the council paid for? Even if I disappear like the rest, you have to find out what is doing this. No one else can go through this... Its pure hell, like I'm loosing myself ever so much, little by little.&quot; <br /> <br /> Stirling starts to look around the shop, looking at tools and the workshop for anything out of place or anything he would like in his own workshop. &quot;Had any healer look at you yet?&quot;<br /> <br /> The blacksmith seems to get frustrated, losing concentration on the work he is doing seems to agitate him more, &quot;Healers don't know a thing... haven't figured out anything after a month. They go mad you see, and yet all becomes calm... I want the calm almost, its getting harder to fight it, to think, to even care.&quot; The messenger speaks briefly letting them know that the blacksmith has been the first to fight off not ripping his clothing off, though he is already half undressed, no shirt on as he works, only heavy work pants and a leather apron hanging down. He mentions the inn keepers wife isn't so well off and had to be restrained or she would have peeled her own flesh form her body, or it seemed like they might try to. They only let the blacksmith work because he is fighting it so well, waiting to see if he succumbs as well during the night. Indeed you may have noticed townspeople watching very closely the blacksmith and the inn a short way down the road. <br /> <br /> &quot;Thank you,&quot; Silmeria murmurs, loosing a quiet sigh. &quot;Very well, Master Hilderman... We'll do whatever we can to stop this, no matter what. Perhaps we should see to the inkeeper's wife, now?&quot; she asks of her fellows.<br /> <br /> Korrani looks to Silmeria, then back to Hilderman. Then she nods in agreement with Silmeria. &quot;Yes, let's go talk to her next.&quot;<br /> <br /> As you decide to go see the innkeeper's wife, the messenger shows you in and up the stairs to their private rooms. In the bed, sedated by a healer hanging nearby, strapped down in case she awakens. The sheets she is under are tinged here and there with dark maroon stains, the healer warning you right away you might not want to look, &quot;She tried to take her skin off with a knife. And even then she struggled and clawed at the wounds, like she couldn't get something out of her. I have no idea what is happening, I can't find anything that inside, any illness, no healing spells have been able to help anyone yet.&quot; The innkeeper looks on, worried, concerned, even as the woman seems to be sleeping very peacefully at the moment. &quot;Powerful drugs are the only thing that has kept her laying there... Enough for a full grown horse.&quot; <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;trying to pick things up a little more quickly... since its getting late.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It too that much to put her at ease?&quot; Korrani asks in surprise. &quot;Did she say anything of significance before she was drugged?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Anyone got detect magic or something like that?&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling scratches his chin and furrows his brow &quot;So none of the healers know whats going on? Perhaps its something around the house? Some kind of curse?&quot; he suggests looking at the others.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Vroole, don't feel ba if you have to schedule a part two.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Especially since it's your first time. These things sometimes take a while!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm not too worried about doing that if I have too also.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Yeah, we're also down a person due to connection issues&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;As long as everyone is enjoying.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;we can always pause to continue before any combat also. But still got things to figure out also. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria nods, agrees. :3<br /> <br /> &quot;It does sound more likely to be magic,&quot; Silmeria murmurs, brow furrowing. &quot;Master Stirling... You wouldn't happen to have any way of checking for such things, would you? Only, I'm reasonably certain an expert's eye is at need, here.&quot;<br /> <br /> OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Nope its a first level spell for me and I do not have it prepared.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;None, our only mage was inflicted upon the second night of the outbreak... before we had any ideas at what we were looking for. He didn't make it tot he night to disappear, he blew himself and his house up. It drove him mad and he started casting some powerful magic it seems.&quot; The healer nods, &quot;Though we had thought of that by day four or five, why the council met to discuss payment and who we could get from the guild.&quot; <br /> <br /> Korrani shuffles a little and looks to the others, shrugging slightly. &quot;Sorry, I'm not much help in the magic department. But I may be able to help track where the people are going.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling grimaces &quot;I know a few things about magic though I can't think of what could cause this, lets go look at whats left of this mage's place. Perhaps he left some kind of clue, either way sounds like it started with him.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;How about this. we are down quite a few people here. From eight to 3. How about everyone nulls things over. and I'll schedule a part two.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Sure :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;ok&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;with you all heading over to the wizards place or where it used to be actually.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;Sounds good!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling noms. :)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm thinking we are stumbling a little because too few are left.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling goes OOC.<br /> <br /> Stirling has left.<br /> <br /> Long distance to Whirlpool: Vroole nods, &quot;So basically I'll have to continue this one. Was hoping it get alot further quicker. Maybe I should have asked if anyone had any automatic sense magic skills or abilities. LOL<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'because they were right there thinking the right way.'<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: It happens. xD<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: Learning experience!<br /> <br /> Long distance to Whirlpool: Vroole nods, &quot;Naw, simple Detect magic would have had them a lot furhter, but what to do then when they find out.<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'I think I'm going to make it into some decent size ongoing plot dealing with some Driders eventually.'<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Well, I guess I'll see you guys next time to try and solve this mystery :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Thanks for the event, Vroole!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole nods, &quot;Yeah thinking on when I will holidays and all.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;no problem I had fun coming up with this.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;I'm heading out for the holidays tomorrow night, so...I may be available sometime after the holidays. Not sure what other people are doing&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm looking to beginning of december and take it from there. And you mean thanksgiving or both that and Christmas?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;Beginning of December should work, I'll be out of state after the 17th, tho.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;I'm just going for Thanksgiving. Beginning of December will work for me&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Naw thinking end of the following week.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria nodnod.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;avoid that whole black friday and all after it too.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani shudders.<br /> <br /> Long distance to Whirlpool: Vroole slumps, &quot;Thought that was going to be a little easier and faster too though. It is good exp though.&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani has disconnected.<br /> <br /> Whirlpool goes home.<br /> <br /> Whirlpool has left.<br /> <br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;Alright who is all here?<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana raises a hand, though I have leveled since last time<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Kroth says, &quot;Iwas signed up originally as Radek but didnt go on the first part of this.<br /> <br /> From afar, Bennet is here... and not sure how to use any related features...<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;All good we need some bodies so its alright.<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;Looking to get this done throw a couple fights out but still under investigation was all. :P<br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;what level are you Bell?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;4th&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay doesn't change that much but gives another who can fight... cool.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;2 others. Samafia. :D&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole nods, &quot;And companions, included.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet has a gun... it talks sometimes... so, one and a half? ;)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;alright going to start the pose see if more show up... let me get three perception rolls from everyone that will make one part much faster.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (15)+7: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (18)+7: 25<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (19)+7: 26<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls perception: (2)+4: 6<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls perception: (8)+4: 12<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls perception: (16)+4: 20<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (6)+7: 13<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (2)+7: 9<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (10)+7: 17<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (17)+10: 27<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (20)+10: 30<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (19)+10: 29<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;And Samafia?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;In Brightest Day...in Blackest Night...No evil shall escape my sight.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;and give me another perception roll for the 20 you rolled, might add a bonus.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls 1d20+2: (12)+2: 14<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls 1d20+2: (9)+2: 11<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls 1d20+2: (7)+2: 9<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Those are samafia's&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (11)+10: 21<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;alright posing real quick and we'll get on the way.&quot;<br /> <br /> Having already figured out a few facts of the plague/curse or whatever it is that inflicts Derry with its itching malaise. The healer who was watching over the cutup, sedated wife of the innkeeper told you about the wizard of the town having suspected of coming down with it in the first couple days and destroyed his own house with his magic. The heroes are off to investigate the site with the help of the messenger given to them to answer questions and show them around from the City's council. <br /> <br /> Following the messenger to the north side of town and outside the gate itself. The hut or what is left of the burnt, pulverized house lays closer to the farmlands beyond. The Wizard, Drunf Gright by the name one the parchment keeping records of those that had come down with the curse and disappeared on the second night after investigating the two children that had come under the curse the first day. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Ask any questions about what happened before. Basically blacsmith guy is busy smithing to keep the itching away, wife cut herself up bad with a kitchen knife trying to stop the itching. Alll 20+ people so far dissappear the same night they show signs of this itching craze of that previous morning.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;about all we got to so far.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Can I do a healing check to try to help them?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Alright, it might get you some info based on the roll.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls heal: (2)+3: 5<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;They itch... any sort of rash or discoloration before scratching themselves? Itch is everywhere, or only certain parts of the body? Been how long since the two children started?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;we'll say you checked out the wife.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana says, &quot;I could check too?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;No rash, other than damage they do themselves and they complain it is everywhere all over the body.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;and go for it Lyr&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls heal: (17)+14: 31<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona is a battle druid...not a healer.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;And alright, no healing seems to work. Not the mundane one anyway. The healer using magic in the room explains even magic healing all it does is seem to calm them for perhaps an hour.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth has no idea about any healing/magic :)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana says, &quot;does the roll give me an idea what we might be dealing with?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;None whatsoever, doesn't seem to be any physical signs or why the itching is the way it is.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet suspects a sort of Curse. Would like to try Detect Evil at the itching... which I doubt will work, but worth a shot.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Can I detect some magic on it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;later at night before they dissappear is when some walk the street seeming more mechanical when they speak and talk to anyone, then gone by next morning. And its been about 3 weeks since it started.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;go for it the detect magic.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona refreshes spells.<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona casts Detect Magic. Caster Level: 4 DC: -87<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'When you cast Detect Magic, you notice what might be glowing strings around they lips like they are flowing into their mouth nose and ears. Kind fo looks like a spider web tunnel where a spider might rest down inside.'<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I Need to do something real fast so discuss and RP now a little and what you might all do.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona pages: Can I do a knowledge/nature to find out what kind of spider?<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'You can try.'<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls knowledge/nature: (1)+9: 10<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Okay, so three weeks ago, pair of kids started itching, no apparent cause. Wizard took a look, caught the Itch himself, and burned down his own place. Itch has since spread to the rest of the village. People itch uncontrobially, and a after a while towards the evening, they get weird, and disappear into the night. Correct?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;only been two or three each day since then. not the entire town by far yet.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms a little bit as she looks over some of the victems of the Itch and she uses a bit of magic to see if there is something magically causing this. &quot;Well what I can see if they hav some glowing strings around their lips and it's going in and out of their ears and nose and mouth. &quot;It sort of looks like a spider web tunnel, but no spider that I've ever heard of.&quot; She wrinkles her nose a bit.<br /> <br /> Bennet is perhaps a little less cautious in his investigation than he might be. As a servant of The Lady, he enjoys certain protections. But should this be a Curse, and not an illness... well, the gunman isn't utterly reckless. &quot;Whelp, I'm stumped. Don't look like no sickness I ever seen. Reckon our best bet be ta find where them kids first caught the Itch, maybe learn something more on where it came from.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'Nope, would have taken a hurrculean roll to know for sure.'<br /> <br /> Kroth frowns as he listens to the information, then he grunts. &quot;Spider? Yes, I agree we should search for a source, track where the kids first caught this. Why would the mage burn his home though? Perhaps this is a creature and not a curse? A creature fire can hurt.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana has disconnected.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Guess give her a moment.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana has connected.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Or if you want continue to invrestigate.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet is ready to take a look at wherever the kids might have picked something up.

The food before offered for dinner as the sun heads for the horizon and shadows begin to lengthen, was the same house, it seemed vacant almost and going back Gunny still hadn't returned from seeing the Council. The other, a younger boy, the family still grieving, his mother explaining how he didn't want to leave the bathtub, almost drowning himself a few times before later that night both had disappeared. <br /> <br /> Bennet ponders a bit. &quot;Reckon best look around the place. Seems things get interesting at night, may as well look then and hope to find something.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;if that is what everyone thinks is good I'll FF.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth nods, &quot;Yes, we will need to look around at night, perhaps follow if someone wanders off.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Sure&quot;<br /> <br /> It grows towards night, the sun dips down and soon the moon comes into view from the other direction and from over the hills and farmlands. Wandering the streets, there is a cry that soon goes up, investigating, one finds out the blacksmith is gone, tools he had been working, sitting there and a full barrel of horseshoes that has very little cool water left. As well, the healer in the room of the inn keepers wife had been knocked out and the woman was gone as well. The healer being awakened had fallen asleep only to find the woman up and striking the back of his head with part of the bed as a makeshift weapon. <br /> <br /> Kroth frowns, &quot;We must track them, quickly. If they get too far there is no telling if we can find them again.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks, idly double checking his rifle as he looks for some sign of where they may have wandered off to.<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls survival: (6)+3: 9<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls surival: (11)+surival: 11<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls survival: (3)+7: 10<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'I'll give the first roll + seven for 18. since it should have been that. You find some tracks of the direction where both had gone, more towards the center of town and a little north more near the council;s manor direction of things on the hill.'<br /> <br /> Belladona pages: Thanks.<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms as she finds some tracks and she kneels down, &quot;Well I have some tracks over here. More of the head to the center of twn although some go to the north. Isn't there a council's manor over that way?&quot;<br /> <br /> Out and about as the call goes out, some of the more helpful and less afraid city dwellers are out looking as well. <br /> <br /> Kroth helps look around, but really has no tracking skills, though he can see in the dark, for what thats worth.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;What kind of knowledge skills does everyone have?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet know religion, the planes, and guns.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Nature&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;None!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth is a stupid stupid oruch fighter/monk :)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;LOL not at all, but seeing if something might have helped.

All of you hear something though, like a movement, a patter of feet in damp confines coming from the sewer grate near the edge of the road. This follows with what sounds like something stumbling and grunting a little. <br /> <br /> Kroth moves over near the grate, looking inside to see whats down there...hopefully nothing stabs him in the face while he looks.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;didn't see anything after Kroth.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks. &quot;Sewers... always the way, ain't it?&quot; The Absolution pulls a brass an crystal device from his belt, turning the knob so the crystal starts to glow with a faint yellow light, much like a torch, but without the heat and smoke. Unlikely to burn out, either. He does, however, keep his every burning torch away from ruining Kroth's night vision.<br /> <br /> Belladona wrinkles her nose a bit, &quot;Pretty much when it comes to adventuring.&quot; She says as she leads the way towards the sewers and she narrows her eyes to try to see if she can see anything.<br /> <br /> It is plain to see the woman, the innkeeper's wife, all still bandaged up, moving once more down along the sewer, the light catches its attantion, looking back and she hisses. She doesn't stop though, picking up speed now, moving akwardly with a what appears to be a broken arm and an ankle cocked at a weird angle, bones poking out form the wound, leaving a trail of blood behind her. <br /> <br /> Bennet focuses upon the woman, unsure if what she is now is like who she was before...<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Detect Evil&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Can we open the grate to the sewer?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Ineed it imminates a rather distinct source of evil. Around her head an aura of evil in fact is where it is concentrated mostly.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;with a little work and a strength roll yes.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;I'll pull the grate&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls strength: (11)+3: 14<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Bleh&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth grabs at the grate, starting to pull and try to rip it out of the ground.<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls strength: (10)+4: 14<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;it groans a little but doesn't budge much form the concrete anchors.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;anyone else?&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet is not mighty. Lets the buff guys try, but when raw strength doesn't work, maybe a bit of celver leverage will do...<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls strength: (8)+1: 9<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Or not&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona goes to help Kroth out as she grips a hold of the grate and she yanks on it. &quot;Must be rusted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;both of you together make it crack enough a little wiggling for a few minutes would dislodge the grate.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, and keeps working. &quot;Keep pulling..&quot; He strains for a bit, pulling at the grate and working at it.<br /> <br /> Minutes have passed while you work at the grate and finally get it loose, there is plenty of space for everyone to get through and their equipment, but the woman is well gone, only leaving the small drops of blood to show which direction she has gone. North it seems though soon enough with the twists and turns that if one hurries one might get lost, but if not one might not catch up to the woman. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;unless someone has a way of qickly memorizing every which way you go in?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;remind me to take knowledge sewers or something. LOL&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet follows the trail as best he can. Getting out again is a problem for later. &quot;Possession of some sort, I reckon. Something bad. Don't worry 'bout hurting them possessed, don't reckon is much of them left.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona goes to help get the grate off finally and she looks around. &quot;It might be those spider things that are inside of her.&quot; She suggests as she starts to lightly scratch on the wall with her knife to indicate the direction back out.<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, &quot;We must hurry, a simple villager is weak and can hardly resist evils such as this.&quot; He moves along, using his darkvision to see further ahead than the light would allow.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay who is taking front, back middle and such, what order?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;I'll take front with Samafia&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;The sewer is a decent size, two two foot paths to either side, stinks fo course, but the water int he middle at this point is maybe three foot deep and barely a current.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;I can take the rear, watch for stuff behind us. Or front, either way.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;so Bennet in the middle then. Kroth the back bell in front. PRobably the best way to do things too. for what is coming up.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet nods, is fine with that order<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Can I throw barkskin on Samafia?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;sure can.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona casts Barkskin. Caster Level: 4 DC: 15<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;how long does it last?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;40 minutes&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay plenty of time.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;RP while I write the pose a little.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet isn't fond of enclosed spaces, espically ones that stink of sewage. But the Absolution carries one quietly, now and again checking his weapon to assure himsefl all is in working order. A misfire is never a good thing, and even less so in the middle of combat.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;or prepare anything that nyou might think you need to prepare. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona leads the way as ashe can see in the dark with Samafia by her side. She has her shield up and ready along with her claws.<br /> <br /> Kroth takes up the rear guard, looking back now and then to make sure nothing sneaks up on them while they are down here.<br /> <br /> As the party moves along the walkway, anyone stepping int the water won't like the smell that sticks with them for awhile after, but it isn't all that slippery. The weather has been fairly good, cold perhaps, but not too much rain lately. The soft whisper of feet and the current passes down the paths as they follow the blood. After a few turns, webbing begins to appear, in small patches, then in greater amounts the further one goes. <br /> <br /> It starts becoming more and more evident that indeed the suspicion of spiders might be the reason fro what is happening as there is far more webbing then can be accounted for being a dark place like this and the ever increasing amount as they follow the blood trail dripping here and there. Soon it stops though, as if something might have realized the trail it was leaving, bloody webs nearby. Samafia begins to growl a little, hair rising, something doesn't seem right to the animal, something is off.

Bell also notes the concentration of webs over head right where the stone is, bulging a little downward, the slight impression of something large and squarish made in it. <br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, &quot;This is strange, what sort of spider sets up a trap? There is something at work here, more than a spider.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;So what you doing? how will you pass it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Can we pass it without setting it off?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Also, how would a crazed wounded woman get past this trap, and the webbing...&quot; Kroth adds.<br /> <br /> Bennet shrugs. &quot;Cross to the other side?

Anyone else shows up I'll page it to them.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia nods<br /> <br /> Since arriving in the late afternoon, the adventurers have discovered that a malady of not a curse, but some outside force is taking over people. The signs of intense itching like something crawling around in their body was most likely some spider of some kind. The keys to this are the spectral webs around the ears, mouth and nose, almost like a funnel spiders in nature, waiting inside by the use of Detect magic. The innkeeper's wife and blacksmith have both wound up disappearing by nightfall and tracking them the wife was discovered int he sewers, clearly not herself, more like a robot being controlled, ankle and arm broken she didn't seemed phased, only hissed. By the time they got the sewer grate off she was gone. A blood trail was found from the broken ankle and it lead deeper into the sewers to the north of town with ever increasing amounts of spider webs. They were held up when the blood trail ended and a trap was discovered and there they were stopped for the moment. One at least rock depression on the ground was discovered and above a bulging web, like something heavy was being held in it and in a depression carved out of the roof of the sewer itself. <br /> <br /> There they sit and while they were figuring what to do other adventurer notified of the sewer escape have show up in time to help them out. The sewer itself is rather large with a two brick and stone walkways on either side, easily traversed by most people, the water, stinking in between is slow and lazy as it heads out towards the waterway to the north side of town. So the trap is there and everyone waits to see what those there and newly arrived might do. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;So that is basically it and were we are at for now. Some form of Spider or spiders at at the bas trouble it seems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Now that we have other people, anyone that knows how to deal with traps and such?&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks mildly, holding aloft his room tempature Everyburning Torch, which does nothing particular to the webs. &quot;...times like this sorta wish had an old-fashion flame. Got a flint and bit of tinder, but reckon is damp enough may take a while to make a spark. Iffen any of ya'll got ideas, I'm listening.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet says, &quot;*Everburning Torch&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;...May I be present as additional back having been called in?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Just trying to figure out why I'm here if it's in the middle of things.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole nods, &quot;Why I added that part about all the others showing up. Indeed you are there.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms a little bit, &quot;Well normally I prepare produce flame, but recently I had need of some mists instead so I switched it out. I do carry flint and steel with me to help start a fire when needed.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling attaches a tank to his large gleaming chrome gauntlet. &quot;If it gets thick we will burn our way through, I prepared some fuel for my flamethrower but it won't last long.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana does step back a bit, &quot;Well if you are going to do that we should probably move back a bit.&quot;<br /> <br /> Approaching in titan armor, Zenia looks about and whistles. &quot;Dang.&quot; she says, &quot;This is a HUGE infestation, how'd it get this big?&quot; she asks, then holds up her deathray as the chamber rolls from a glowing blue to a glowing orange. &quot;Yeah, if we need fire I've got plenty of power in the ray. Or we could try other things, anyone tried talking to these spidery things? I mean they're... PROBABLY not mindless unless we're dealing with some kind of servitor race to a greater amoral or immoral creature.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;They're evil.&quot; Which is all Bennet thinks needs said on that matter.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Guessing no person with Disable Device here?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia has it!<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Artificer. :3&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shrugs &quot;Dont want to waste fuel if I dont need to, lets just press on and squish em'&quot; he shoulders through some of the webs, pulling them down with his gauntlets if in the way.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole reminds everyone of the trap that currently has the group stalled for the moment. :P<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Ah missed that.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;The webs?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Oh&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia will try for a disable device check then<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Roll it.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls Disable Device: (2)+9: 11<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Least it wasn't a 1!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;I think those mean, 'Terribad results'&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;yeah that would have been worse... Lets see. I imagine everyone else was hanging back far enough? :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Roll I mean.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Give me a Reflex roll.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls Reflex: (13)+6: 19<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay I'll pose what happened it missed you.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;You can pose trying to disable it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona moves back to let the artificer try to disable the trap. &quot;Well if the trap goes off maybe it will trap the spiders in there.&quot;<br /> <br /> Clink! KA-CHUNK! Clank. It seems that Zenia is trying to remove the trap then glances back in a distracted manner momentarily as she says, &quot;We've got no idea what they're after though, can't really stop them per se unless we have a good idea of that.&quot;<br /> <br /> As Zenia tried to disable the trap, something clicks and the raised rock lowers, it is enough of a warning that Zenia is able to toss herself back a mere few inches less and the giant square stone block might have caught her foot or more indeed if she hadn't responded so quickly. The stone hits the ground hard, several feet across and several feet up, enough to make something very squashed or several if it hadn't been seen, but not high enough to block off the sewer either. The webbing above that held the stone is ripped, like it was design to give as a sharp blade parted it along the bottom to let the stone drop.

The Giant spiders hiss and curse in some unitelligble way, the simple command they had been given was to keep those out that got past the traps or kill if trapped in them as well. They look ready for a fight. (OOC they control the three squares on top fo the rock as the space is only 15 ft across, looks like you have to get through them.) <br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole advances the initiative order.<br /> <br /> Round One - Init 4.<br /> <br /> It is now Lyrana's turn!

Pulling a small screwdriver from his pocket, the Absolution fiddles for a bit.... only to have the tool slip form his fingers and disappear into the muck. A few phrases follow that with a bit of effort could likely be weaponized themselves. But, he does manage to shove a fresh crystal into place, and snap the hatch closed again. It's not a pretty fix, but it'll do.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;roll it&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Aevarr rolls ranged: (12)+6: 18<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;that is a hit. most likely dead. rolld damage&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Aevarr rolls 1d8+3: (4)+3: 7<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Pose taking it out and we will go out of timestop and try to get things up to speed to the final confrontation.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;its dead for sure. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole removes the timestop.<br /> <br /> Timestop by Vroole has left.<br /> <br /> GAME: You remove the timestop.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;pose the afternmath and I guess fixing your gun Bennet?&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr does not have any spider venom handy (that is to say, venom that kills spiders). Instead, he nocks and looses an arrow into one of the AoUSes. It punctures carapace and causes all eight legs to curl up as it falls.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The remains of the burnt and smashed up, goey remains of the spiders rests before the party, the way clear now and nothing else can be heard for the moment. The block now that things are secure is easy t get over and there is only one way to go down the Sewer as it leads more towards the edge of town and the lake there. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;alrigth pse what you are and then we'll FF a little.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;all roll me a perception check.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (1)+10: 11 (EPIC FAIL)<br /> <br /> Lyrana looks around a bit, &quot;Did anyone get hurt?&quot; she asks as she does.<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (3)+7: 10<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls perception: (20)+4: 24<br /> <br /> GAME: Stirling rolls perception: (16)+8: 24<br /> <br /> GAME: Aevarr rolls perception: (6)+10: 16<br /> <br /> Belladona shakes her head, &quot;I don't think so.&quot; She moves forward into the sewer and she has to help Samafa up over the boulder. She walks along and has her shield and claws ready.<br /> <br /> Bennet sighs, and slowly takes apart the mechanisims once more, before putting tham all carefully back into proper alignment. Not only will the weapon work, but it will keep doing so for a while... in theory. &quot;Only hurt my pride.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling tries to light his cigar in the damp, trying several times to get it started before it takes &quot;Nothing that cant be fixed by crushing a few more critters.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay anytime everyone is ready to move forward when poses are done.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia nods<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The path continues to grow with the amount of webs everywhere, over walls and floor, the paths becoming more treacherous to walk on, though they aren't strong enough to,hold anyone down, they could hamper movement in combat if it were to happen. The only clear part of the sewer is the water that flows along lazily, along with other things that float in it and the ever present smell of things people might put down a toilet from above. First Lyrana and Stirling hear something, like what one might wonder what a spider speaking sounds like. (OOC both of you pose first then Aevarr can pose, back to free pose after while they are hearing that. Seems there is something else ahead now also and it sounds intelligent rather more than anything else the spiders before spit out, like ti was barking commands, Then decide order of how you will move in and give me another perception roll everyone and where you are, walking on webs or mucking through water in what order and who is in front and such)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;well meant to hit enter after a few more poses.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole :P<br /> <br /> Belladona tries to ignore the smell as best ashe can as she uses her sharp claws to cut through the waves that get in the way. She hears something ahead and it sounds very intelligent. She relays the info to the others behind her as they sneak forward.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;almost done all should be one more fight and then round it all up at the end.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling moves along third in the group, taping the disc at his chest to make sure its still working.

It allows the party to move forward to an opening the sounds came from on the right. Into the a large room, 40 across and 40 feet in width. A drainage basin room one might find for when the sewer overflows. The spider webs are even thicker here and along the sides several body size web cocoons are there, they aren't moving and two are partially done it seems over a large male, the blacksmith and another the wife of the inn keeper. A ten foot path rings a pit in the middle, across from them sits a human size blue humanoid figure with a face of a spider and sickle like arms. It is looking at them pointing at them as two more giant spiders work from either side of the room and one above climbing along the ceiling on the webs. Several other smaller spiders can be seen, not looking to get confrontational as they are maybe a finger nail in width and seem to be crawling over the newly acquired food in the two humans being wrapped up.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ATTENTION -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Vroole has dropped a TIMESTOP!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Please +init, then cease all roleplay and actions immediately and wait for Vroole to instruct you further.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> For additional in-combat commands, please type: +thelp.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;roll your init.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls initiative: Roll: 2 + Bonus: 3 = Total: 5<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls initiative: Roll: 20 + Bonus: 2 = Total: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: You roll initiative for Stirling: Roll: 10 + Bonus: +3 = Total: 13<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;i'll fix you stirling.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Ah oops!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;easy fix.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole advances the initiative order.<br /> <br /> Round One - Init 22.<br /> <br /> It is now Lyrana's turn!

Hopefully. It does have a lot of them! &quot;Biology study coming up soon... Gonna have to collect some of that ichor of yours.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole advances the initiative order.<br /> <br /> Round Four - Init 21.<br /> <br /> It is now Spiderlings' turn!

Getting late and wrapping it up.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Bang bang a spider.... er... I am free of spiderlings, correct?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Yes free of spiderlings.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls 1d20+10: (8)+10: 18<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;roll damage&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls 1d12+1: (7)+1: 8<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;And dead... :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;pose it.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole removes the timestop.<br /> <br /> Timestop by Vroole has left.<br /> <br /> GAME: You remove the timestop.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;After he poses all can start posing and such then. I'll write a wrap up.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;and answer questions.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet shudders a little, patting himself a moment to be sure there's no live spiders left on him... and focuses again, taking aim at the remaining spider and lauching another flaming lead ball. It doesn't take much to blow the rest of the bug apart, leaving a small burning hole where it had been.<br /> <br /> Lyrana moves around, &quot;Does anyone need healing?&quot; she asks and then does move to check the blacksmith and innkeeper's wife.<br /> <br /> Belladona shakes her head, &quot;no I'm all right.&quot; She says as she startsto go to cut out the victems as Samafa starts to pound and tear at the smaller spiders.<br /> <br /> Stirling shrinks down to regular size and stretched his arms &quot;Well thats a good bit of fun, wasn't it?&quot; he says with a grin to Bennett.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Twirling a small disc on a leather strap, Zenia nods as well. &quot;Yeah, I can do that too actually.&quot; then looks at those in the webs and pauses, before realizing that there are -people- in there. &quot;OH CRAP!&quot; she says, rushing over towards them and helping to tear the webs with her armor. &quot;Hey, are you two OK?&quot; she asked, looking somewhat panicked.<br /> <br /> Bennet blehs, moving to check on the ones trapped. &quot;Could have done without them crawling on me...&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;You'll find them quite dead... unable to be healed. The spiderlings had eaten away most of the brain's motor control to use them like a big bag of flesh to brign down for eating.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Mostly only dangerous to those that were alseep when they invaded their brains... Course taking a day to eat their way in and setup till the next night and then taking them for food.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Yummy&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet ews... &quot;So... all in favor of burning this place and every brain-eating spider in it?&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Yep.&quot; Zenia says, &quot;Provided it doesn't... Y'know, actually blow up the town above. Don't want that happening.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana nods her head, &quot;Sounds good to me, or at least ordering an extermination team to come down and do it.&quot; she shakes her head a bit.<br /> <br /> <br /> After the Ettercap was killed the spiders it had controlled were not much of a problem, not that the Ettercap was either it seems as the group had smacked it around pretty quick, which was probably a good thing. The people that had been taken are all found to be dead, most with enlarged holes at ear, mouth or nose, like something had burst outward after they were being strung up and preserved. None have survived the trauma the little control spiders had had on them, a good portion of the motor control part of the brain having been eaten out and the husks taken over like zombies almost to bring back for food for the spiders and the Ettercap to feast on. Horse's daughter is nothing but a skinned bag of bones, hollow and quite not a pretty sight after almost three weeks having been drained. As most others that fat back. The wizard not having been found would later be found and discovered to have gotten into a fight with a few other spiders and having a fear of such blew his whole house up with himself inside. <br /> <br /> The people of Derry are happy, even if sad as well that their loved ones could not be returned to them, the drainage room being closed, bricked up after being burned with all the webs in the sewers with it. It will never be used again or allowed to be used as a lair for such foul creatures. It was best left to memory and letting it be buried away, or so most of Derry had agreed upon.</div>

<p>Vroole: </p> <hr /> <div> An older farmer waits at the gates of Alexandria, a cart and two horses hitched to it are ready for the party of adventurers to the township of Derry. He smiles and tips his hat, &quot;Well don't this beat all. A much pleasant sight to see all these fine young folk so willing to help old Derry out.&quot; He seems in a pretty good mood and waves them on over to the cart, &quot;Nothing is enough for all you grand folk. A ride if you need it, we have a decent leg of a trip to be getting to and the more time we waste here the more Derry falls under the curse its found itself in.&quot; <br /> <br /> He turns and hops up into the driver seat, only then does the grey image of someone cloaked in the mists move, a old blunderbuss style type gun in his grasp, and leans it over his shoulder. This one doesn't look so happy in his weather beaten hat and the first calms all of the Adventures, &quot;Don't mind old Gunny there. He don't like strangers. You can call me Horse. Parents always knew I'd be a cart man, but they decided Carter was to common a name for such, besides every lady knows I'm hung like a...&quot; Gunny shoulders the man, he was getting to personal and the grumpy one grunts to warn him, &quot;Excuse me, living' on the road I suppose one doesn't require manners all that much? So, how about we get some names while we get this party movin'?&quot; A vert talkative one tot seems and even as those riding in the wagon get on, he snaps the reigns and they are off, seems talking on the way might be the way to go about it. Several large furs are also in the wagon, seems that everyone is going to be expected to sleep in the wagon perhaps till the reach Derry on the next afternoon. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;As an aside, can I get healed fully?&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana cocks her head to the side as she listens, &quot;I do not understand the reference, Hung like a? Are you talking about hanging from a tree or something?&quot; the war golem asks as she looks at the guy. &quot;Oh, I forget myself, I am Lyrana of the Temple of Daeus.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;you know I should learn how to do that stuff, unless Whirl there does it, not sure how that works.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;What's up?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Which stuff? :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Oh, damaging.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;cIt's prett&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;It's easy. :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;the healing and all that.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Whirlpool damaged you for -100 points. 16 remaining.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;There. :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;so you do take care of that then as we go. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Silmeria,&quot; a blond in a breastplate and black velvet dress answers, cheeks practically glowing at the nearly-completed comparison. &quot;Temple of Vardama... May I ask, um... what's been ''happening'' out in Derry? Only I'd heard the rumors, but...&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling follows along on his own horse scruffy black warhorse, enormous black deathray seated across the saddle in front of him. Between that and his enormous chrome gauntlets there can be little doubt what the artifice intends to do. He does offers the farmer a friendly nod and grunt but little else in the way of idle chatter.<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'Also does anyone in this group have any like auto detect magics of any kind?'<br /> <br /> Korrani unloads her pack for the long ride and settles down in a small puddle of furs, sitting on the floor of the cart. She leans her back against the 'driver side' of the cart and draws one knee up to rest an arm on it. She tips her hooded head to Lyrana. &quot;Best you not ask for the rest of that sentence. Korrani Penfast. Adventurer for hire.&quot;<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: You can aks them as DM. :)<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: But no. :)<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'Didn't want to give some info out, so they go hey why did he ask about detect magic and use something because I let the cat out of the bag.'<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: Understandable. :)<br /> <br /> Indeed Horse was going to answer the woman since she asked, but it seems Korrani had gotten the idea and for the moment he lets it be, &quot;PEople have been disappearing... Actin' strange, says their skin itches, scratchin and rippin their clothes over a day. Next mornin they are gone, some say they see em get up and wandering the streets. Tried followin them, many have, but they always dissapear before the mornin.&quot; Gunny jsut snorts and grunts in acknowledgment, seems the one calling shotgun doesn't have many words. Almost the perfect pair it seems if you wanted to put too extremes of conversationilst together. <br /> <br /> Lyrana looks at Korrani, &quot;Why would I not ask for the rest? I already did.&quot; she shakes her head, &quot;Still don't fully understand organics at times.&quot; she says and shakes her head again. She nods herhead, &quot;Alive or dead or just seem like it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; BeagleHugs o.o<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;We've discovered a problem. xD&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Just a help file issue. :) CArry on.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;(Sorry for the spam, guys. XD)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; BeagleHugs says, &quot;Fixed!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;The +prhelp command here was borked. :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Vroole, there you go. ALl the info you need.&quot;<br /> <br /> The cart bounces along the uneven cart path towards the east, Horse very happy to tell what he knows, &quot;They seem alright, perhaps not themselves either. Anyone tryin to talk to them only get. A hello, and out for a walk, somethin like that, but never why they are up, or where all of them have been goin. Lost around twenty folk so far, another five at least or maybe a few more by the time we get there tomorrow.&quot; Horse sighs a little and shakes his head, &quot;Lost me own we littin also, one of the first to vanish. I hopin she is alright and you all can find her.&quot; Sadness creeps into the little old man... <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;cool&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We will,&quot; Silmeria says, &quot;do everything in our power to get them back, Master Horse, Master Gunny.&quot; Settling back in the cart, she goes about the preparations to see that she can accomplish exactly that; checking the action of her crossbow, the edge of her sword, and the fit of her armor as the cart bounces along its way toward the town.<br /> <br /> &quot;Mind Control? What about the itchiness and scratching themselves until they rip their clothes?&quot; Korrani asks, unfamiliar with the workings of magic or mind control.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;let me know if anyone has anymore questions or not and we can FF.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Is there any rhyme or reason with who disappears? Anything in common?&quot; Korrani asks. &quot;What they did, where they went, what they ate...?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana says, &quot;all good to ff here&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Good to go.&quot;<br /> <br /> Horse nods a bit and looks back, a little teary in his eyes, &quot;Thank you. I was very happy the council decided to put up the money to hire you all.&quot; He then shakes his head to Korrani's question, &quot;Nothin we hadn't been eatin' all the time. Our own growin' from the fields. Or from animals we have always raised. Perhaps if there is someone that is bein' cursed you will see. Very few days these last week there hasn't been one or two.&quot; <br /> <br /> The cart keeps moving all night long and well into the next day, the sun dipping towards the horizon before the town of Derry comes into view when the wagon rolls over one of the larger hills. The countryside had gradually changed from woods to farms and fields since the mid days meal when the sun was high and Horse seems to be tired, but he also seems determined to get all of you there before another day passes. &quot;There be Derry...&quot; Horse says it with such pride and comfort that they are finally going to be there, the clomp of hooves on the dirt, a person passing by now and again, giving greeting those up front and then those riding behind. None seem to ill affected and most look like they are farmers and would probably not live int he town proper. Smoke begins to curl up from the houses surrounded by an eight foot wall that encircles Derry proper and all the shops, inns and other main businesses of the town, including those that are a little better off when it comes to coins in their purses. The smell of dinner is in the air, all sorts of meet like spices and the roasting of vegetables and the boiled tint of stews and soups being cooked over the hearths. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'll wait for a pose or two from everyone here then pose again.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling grumbles from his saddle &quot;Bit rustic ain't it? Anyhow lets make with the standard Arvek Nar mental recalibration and get a piece of whatevers cooking. Be a shame to leave here on an empty stomach.&quot; he notes with a grin.<br /> <br /> Aevarr says, &quot;As cozy as this is,&quot; Aevarr pipes up, &quot;are we certain we wish to travel to a town of strange itching and people running off into the night? It rather makes my skin crawl. Remind me of nightmare tales concerning a brothel or three... heard third-hand, of course...&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Aevarr makes that an @emit.<br /> <br /> Korrani scoots a little to put some distance between her and Aevarr at this talk of brothel itch. &quot;You should've thought of that before accepting the guild ticket on this one. Too late to go back now,&quot; Korrani grins tuskily.<br /> <br /> &quot;Not that we'd return even if we had the choice,&quot; Silmeria notes, looking up from her sword. &quot;Good people need help, after all...&quot; A small, sad smile passes over her face as they pass the walls, the blnd drawing in a slow, deep breath. &quot;It's a lovely town, Master Horse, Master Gunny... don't you worry, we'll set things right as well as we can.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana stretches as she gets out of the cart now that they have arrived. She glances around and then nods her head a it, &quot;Well we should get to it, so we can find and then complete the task, helping this village.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana refreshes spells.<br /> <br /> GAME: Silmeria refreshes spells.<br /> tirling dismounts as well, slinging the enormous firearm across his back &quot;Right, let slap some sense into these people and get some dinner. I am famished.&quot; he says flexing his chrome gauntlets, seems he means it too.<br /> <br /> &quot;I'll let the council know you have arrived.&quot; Horse nods to them all, &quot;Gunny here will show you to the house where the first time it happened. You are welcome to eat anythin' as I was told food will be waitin' for you, I don't go home myself anymore, but I'll send word with who is afflicted once I know who is. I will be quick adventurers.&quot; With that Horse runs off to the biggest house or building in the middle of town and Gunny shows you to Horses house. Even now a few of the women and men of the town are setting up the table with all sorts of different foods for different tastes and palletes. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;if you want to discuss a preplan, now is good while I get the next pose in order with more info.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, let's get started slapping people about. I'm sure that will make them much more talkative...&quot; Aevarr chuckles dryly as he disembarks and happily stretches his legs. He then looks to the others. &quot;Jests and brothels aside, does anyone have the slightest thought of what could be the cause of this?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I think we'll know more if we can see any afflicted,&quot; Silmeria says, sheathing her sword and running a hand through her hair. &quot;I'm tempted to call it some sort of pestilence for the moment... but, I'm no trained healer.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shrugs &quot;Right, we dunno what could be doing it, really hard to tell until we see folks? With any luck its some upstart wizard messing around with magics beyond him and he just needs to be put in his place.&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani grunts as she gets up from the cart and picks up her pack, then hops off the cart lightly. She places her hands on her lower back and stretches her spine. &quot;That was some journey,&quot; she sighs. She glances at the setting up of food. &quot;Don't know if I want to eat anything here until we have some idea of what could be the cause...&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr considers the food, then considers it much less. &quot;She makes a strong point for rations, in this case.&quot; Instead, he starts looking for Horse, their handy handholder into the haggard history of happenings in this hapless hamlet.<br /> <br /> Silmeria approaches the table despite the complaints of the others, smiling gently and offerng her thanks for sharing what they have. &quot;I know these are hard times,&quot; she says of one of the villagers, and I know the questions are harder still... but... was there anything... anything at all, really... that the people had in common who fell to this sickness? Other than living here, of course.&quot;<br /> <br /> Horse doesn't return, but a messenger does carrying a scroll, just a plain ordinary scroll with writing, more like a record of names, ages and dates of who has been afflicted and disappeared. Twenty three names show previous dates and the fact they are missing, two currently are noted as that day having complained of being itchy and should be watched. The Garden Lock, an inn, his wife in her thirties, another the Blacksmith himself. &quot;If you need the council let me know I'll be waiting outside.&quot; Perhaps the records might help answer some questions, maybe not, but clearly there are two people that can be checked out as well. <br /> <br /> Stirling nods to the comment about the food &quot;Right, good thinking keeping to our own. Shall we be on our way then? Find out whats going on here.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;Anyone else?&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani walks over to look at the list. &quot;Hmm. Perhaps we should talk to the infected first? See if we can have them restrained to prevent them from walking off?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Anyone else or we lose some people?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria is posing.<br /> <br /> Stirling nods to Korrani &quot;Sounds like a plan. Whose first on the list?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling is good to go.<br /> <br /> &quot;Probably for the best,&quot; Silmeria says, &quot;though perhaps it might not be quite so wise to talk of restraint when we don't know if they've been, or need it just yet?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;So what's the plan?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani is good to go, too.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Check out the afflicted.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr nods in agreement. &quot;So long as we don't need to talk to them too closely...&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Which first, the blacksmith or the inn keeper's wife?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;The ...uh...Blacksmith?&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani wrap her hooded scarf around her neck a few more times, then tucks it in at certain places to allow it to cover her nose and mouth as an impromptu protective mask.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria nod, blacksmith sounds like a plan.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Kitten isn't being very cooperative either, many keys are being pressed. and alright&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I miss anything since my pose?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Nope&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shoulders into the workshop with his deathray across his shoulder. &quot;Hilderman is it? Put the hammer down and lets have a word.&quot; the large hobgoblin does not seem to leave any room for argument.<br /> <br /> Silmeria follows Stirling into the workshop, lips pursing at the artificer's tone. Slipping to one side by the door, she stands, silent for the moment to see how the blacksmith reacts.<br /> <br /> The Blacksmith shakes his head, &quot;Can't be doing that... work, it keeps the itching at bay. The heat... I don't want to itch, don't want to tear me flesh off to make it stop.&quot; Brock looks to them, his motions never faltering even as he speaks to them, &quot;Won't go to sleep... Need to stay awake and not itch.&quot; He shakes a little, shivering as if he is resisting, even as he stops for a moment only, &quot;Don't take away my work...&quot; The hammer begins to swing again and again like, one thing is obvious the man was very skilled as the metal easily began to shape itself, bending and then the hiss of heated metal and another piece of metal is grabbed form the fire to be shaped into a horseshoe, the water in the barrel spills over, even as it begins to settle once more level with the top and the mass of the shoe displaced inside. How many things were inside that barrel? <br /> <br /> Korrani walks in with the others, looking around the blacksmithy as Stirling grabs Brock's attention. &quot;We won't take away your work. We're from Alexandria to investigate the mystery illness that's affecting Derry. Can you tell us anything about what you were doing before started showing symptoms?&quot; she asks.<br /> <br /> &quot;Please,&quot; Silmeria says from her place by the door. &quot;It's very important, Master Hilderman... If we can learn how the itching started, we might be able to learn how to stop it.&quot;<br /> <br /> The blacksmith nods, &quot;Woke up that way, at first it was only a tingle. like a foot that had almost gone to sleep. It kept getting worse, its almost unbearable even now. I can't concentrate, getting tired, my mind is fuzzy. Work still helps, the heat as if it sears the nerves, to soothe the itch. But its not working as well now... You are the adventurer's the council paid for? Even if I disappear like the rest, you have to find out what is doing this. No one else can go through this... Its pure hell, like I'm loosing myself ever so much, little by little.&quot; <br /> <br /> Stirling starts to look around the shop, looking at tools and the workshop for anything out of place or anything he would like in his own workshop. &quot;Had any healer look at you yet?&quot;<br /> <br /> The blacksmith seems to get frustrated, losing concentration on the work he is doing seems to agitate him more, &quot;Healers don't know a thing... haven't figured out anything after a month. They go mad you see, and yet all becomes calm... I want the calm almost, its getting harder to fight it, to think, to even care.&quot; The messenger speaks briefly letting them know that the blacksmith has been the first to fight off not ripping his clothing off, though he is already half undressed, no shirt on as he works, only heavy work pants and a leather apron hanging down. He mentions the inn keepers wife isn't so well off and had to be restrained or she would have peeled her own flesh form her body, or it seemed like they might try to. They only let the blacksmith work because he is fighting it so well, waiting to see if he succumbs as well during the night. Indeed you may have noticed townspeople watching very closely the blacksmith and the inn a short way down the road. <br /> <br /> &quot;Thank you,&quot; Silmeria murmurs, loosing a quiet sigh. &quot;Very well, Master Hilderman... We'll do whatever we can to stop this, no matter what. Perhaps we should see to the inkeeper's wife, now?&quot; she asks of her fellows.<br /> <br /> Korrani looks to Silmeria, then back to Hilderman. Then she nods in agreement with Silmeria. &quot;Yes, let's go talk to her next.&quot;<br /> <br /> As you decide to go see the innkeeper's wife, the messenger shows you in and up the stairs to their private rooms. In the bed, sedated by a healer hanging nearby, strapped down in case she awakens. The sheets she is under are tinged here and there with dark maroon stains, the healer warning you right away you might not want to look, &quot;She tried to take her skin off with a knife. And even then she struggled and clawed at the wounds, like she couldn't get something out of her. I have no idea what is happening, I can't find anything that inside, any illness, no healing spells have been able to help anyone yet.&quot; The innkeeper looks on, worried, concerned, even as the woman seems to be sleeping very peacefully at the moment. &quot;Powerful drugs are the only thing that has kept her laying there... Enough for a full grown horse.&quot; <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;trying to pick things up a little more quickly... since its getting late.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It too that much to put her at ease?&quot; Korrani asks in surprise. &quot;Did she say anything of significance before she was drugged?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Anyone got detect magic or something like that?&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling scratches his chin and furrows his brow &quot;So none of the healers know whats going on? Perhaps its something around the house? Some kind of curse?&quot; he suggests looking at the others.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Vroole, don't feel ba if you have to schedule a part two.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Especially since it's your first time. These things sometimes take a while!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm not too worried about doing that if I have too also.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Yeah, we're also down a person due to connection issues&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;As long as everyone is enjoying.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;we can always pause to continue before any combat also. But still got things to figure out also. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria nods, agrees. :3<br /> <br /> &quot;It does sound more likely to be magic,&quot; Silmeria murmurs, brow furrowing. &quot;Master Stirling... You wouldn't happen to have any way of checking for such things, would you? Only, I'm reasonably certain an expert's eye is at need, here.&quot;<br /> <br /> OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Nope its a first level spell for me and I do not have it prepared.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;None, our only mage was inflicted upon the second night of the outbreak... before we had any ideas at what we were looking for. He didn't make it tot he night to disappear, he blew himself and his house up. It drove him mad and he started casting some powerful magic it seems.&quot; The healer nods, &quot;Though we had thought of that by day four or five, why the council met to discuss payment and who we could get from the guild.&quot; <br /> <br /> Korrani shuffles a little and looks to the others, shrugging slightly. &quot;Sorry, I'm not much help in the magic department. But I may be able to help track where the people are going.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling grimaces &quot;I know a few things about magic though I can't think of what could cause this, lets go look at whats left of this mage's place. Perhaps he left some kind of clue, either way sounds like it started with him.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;How about this. we are down quite a few people here. From eight to 3. How about everyone nulls things over. and I'll schedule a part two.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Sure :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;ok&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;with you all heading over to the wizards place or where it used to be actually.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;Sounds good!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling noms. :)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm thinking we are stumbling a little because too few are left.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling goes OOC.<br /> <br /> Stirling has left.<br /> <br /> Long distance to Whirlpool: Vroole nods, &quot;So basically I'll have to continue this one. Was hoping it get alot further quicker. Maybe I should have asked if anyone had any automatic sense magic skills or abilities. LOL<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'because they were right there thinking the right way.'<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: It happens. xD<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: Learning experience!<br /> <br /> Long distance to Whirlpool: Vroole nods, &quot;Naw, simple Detect magic would have had them a lot furhter, but what to do then when they find out.<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'I think I'm going to make it into some decent size ongoing plot dealing with some Driders eventually.'<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Well, I guess I'll see you guys next time to try and solve this mystery :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Thanks for the event, Vroole!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole nods, &quot;Yeah thinking on when I will holidays and all.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;no problem I had fun coming up with this.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;I'm heading out for the holidays tomorrow night, so...I may be available sometime after the holidays. Not sure what other people are doing&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm looking to beginning of december and take it from there. And you mean thanksgiving or both that and Christmas?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;Beginning of December should work, I'll be out of state after the 17th, tho.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;I'm just going for Thanksgiving. Beginning of December will work for me&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Naw thinking end of the following week.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria nodnod.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;avoid that whole black friday and all after it too.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani shudders.<br /> <br /> Long distance to Whirlpool: Vroole slumps, &quot;Thought that was going to be a little easier and faster too though. It is good exp though.&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani has disconnected.<br /> <br /> Whirlpool goes home.<br /> <br /> Whirlpool has left.<br /> <br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;Alright who is all here?<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana raises a hand, though I have leveled since last time<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Kroth says, &quot;Iwas signed up originally as Radek but didnt go on the first part of this.<br /> <br /> From afar, Bennet is here... and not sure how to use any related features...<br /> <br /> Bennet has arrived.<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;All good we need some bodies so its alright.<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;Looking to get this done throw a couple fights out but still under investigation was all. :P<br /> <br /> Kroth has arrived.<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Yrqemm says, &quot;DR/x means that the DR applies ot everythign /except/ whatever X is, right?&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Ssylrath says, &quot;Generaly yes.&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Godwyn says, &quot;Yup&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Yrqemm says, &quot;Thanks.&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Godwyn says, &quot;If it's after the slash, you'll be hit for everything they have to offer in that field.&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Yrqemm says, &quot;Gotcha.&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Yrqemm :)<br /> <br /> <br /> [Public] Vroole says, &quot;Anyone else have an alt not on right now that is in the event?&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Raethon says, &quot;Uh....&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Raethon says, &quot;Do you mean an alt that is not in the event?&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Vroole says, &quot;Well at this point I'm missing quite a few, looking to start asking if anyone wants to join in and finish this up.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Ssylrath says, &quot;Sorry, I'm in Typhoon's scene.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalara pages: I can sign on Belladona if you like<br /> <br /> Belladona pages: Still need another?<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Working to get a couple more people here.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'For sure.'<br /> <br /> Huh?

The healer who was watching over the cutup, sedated wife of the innkeeper told you about the wizard of the town having suspected of coming down with it in the first couple days and destroyed his own house with his magic. The heroes are off to investigate the site with the help of the messenger given to them to answer questions and show them around from the City's council. <br /> <br /> Following the messenger to the north side of town and outside the gate itself. The hut or what is left of the burnt, pulverized house lays closer to the farmlands beyond. The Wizard, Drunf Gright by the name one the parchment keeping records of those that had come down with the curse and disappeared on the second night after investigating the two children that had come under the curse the first day. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Ask any questions about what happened before. Basically blacsmith guy is busy smithing to keep the itching away, wife cut herself up bad with a kitchen knife trying to stop the itching. Alll 20+ people so far dissappear the same night they show signs of this itching craze of that previous morning.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;about all we got to so far.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Can I do a healing check to try to help them?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Alright, it might get you some info based on the roll.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls heal: (2)+3: 5<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;They itch... any sort of rash or discoloration before scratching themselves? Itch is everywhere, or only certain parts of the body? Been how long since the two children started?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;we'll say you checked out the wife.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana says, &quot;I could check too?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;No rash, other than damage they do themselves and they complain it is everywhere all over the body.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;and go for it Lyr&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls heal: (17)+14: 31<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona is a battle druid...not a healer.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;And alright, no healing seems to work. Not the mundane one anyway. The healer using magic in the room explains even magic healing all it does is seem to calm them for perhaps an hour.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth has no idea about any healing/magic :)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana says, &quot;does the roll give me an idea what we might be dealing with?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;None whatsoever, doesn't seem to be any physical signs or why the itching is the way it is.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet suspects a sort of Curse. Would like to try Detect Evil at the itching... which I doubt will work, but worth a shot.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Can I detect some magic on it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;later at night before they dissappear is when some walk the street seeming more mechanical when they speak and talk to anyone, then gone by next morning. And its been about 3 weeks since it started.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;go for it the detect magic.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona refreshes spells.<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona casts Detect Magic. Caster Level: 4 DC: -87<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'When you cast Detect Magic, you notice what might be glowing strings around they lips like they are flowing into their mouth nose and ears. Kind fo looks like a spider web tunnel where a spider might rest down inside.'<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I Need to do something real fast so discuss and RP now a little and what you might all do.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona pages: Can I do a knowledge/nature to find out what kind of spider?<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'You can try.'<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls knowledge/nature: (1)+9: 10<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Okay, so three weeks ago, pair of kids started itching, no apparent cause. Wizard took a look, caught the Itch himself, and burned down his own place. Itch has since spread to the rest of the village. People itch uncontrobially, and a after a while towards the evening, they get weird, and disappear into the night. Correct?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;only been two or three each day since then. not the entire town by far yet.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms a little bit as she looks over some of the victems of the Itch and she uses a bit of magic to see if there is something magically causing this. &quot;Well what I can see if they hav some glowing strings around their lips and it's going in and out of their ears and nose and mouth. &quot;It sort of looks like a spider web tunnel, but no spider that I've ever heard of.&quot; She wrinkles her nose a bit.<br /> <br /> Bennet is perhaps a little less cautious in his investigation than he might be. As a servant of The Lady, he enjoys certain protections. But should this be a Curse, and not an illness... well, the gunman isn't utterly reckless. &quot;Whelp, I'm stumped. Don't look like no sickness I ever seen. Reckon our best bet be ta find where them kids first caught the Itch, maybe learn something more on where it came from.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'Nope, would have taken a hurrculean roll to know for sure.'<br /> <br /> Kroth frowns as he listens to the information, then he grunts. &quot;Spider? Yes, I agree we should search for a source, track where the kids first caught this. Why would the mage burn his home though? Perhaps this is a creature and not a curse? A creature fire can hurt.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana has disconnected.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Guess give her a moment.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana has connected.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Or if you want continue to invrestigate.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet is ready to take a look at wherever the kids might have picked something up. Seems the next step to investigate.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Yea, move to wherever they may have caught this&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet rusn AFK to feed cats, shall return<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;back&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;back in a bit myself with a pose.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona has disconnected.<br /> <br /> Belladona has connected.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay sorry back now.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;work called.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay so going to discover where the kids first got the curse or whatever?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;yes&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Sure&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;IS the plan, yes&quot;<br /> <br /> Gunny the cart driver had spoke about his daughter being one of the first two children to be affected. The food before offered for dinner as the sun heads for the horizon and shadows begin to lengthen, was the same house, it seemed vacant almost and going back Gunny still hadn't returned from seeing the Council. The other, a younger boy, the family still grieving, his mother explaining how he didn't want to leave the bathtub, almost drowning himself a few times before later that night both had disappeared. <br /> <br /> Bennet ponders a bit. &quot;Reckon best look around the place. Seems things get interesting at night, may as well look then and hope to find something.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;if that is what everyone thinks is good I'll FF.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth nods, &quot;Yes, we will need to look around at night, perhaps follow if someone wanders off.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Sure&quot;<br /> <br /> It grows towards night, the sun dips down and soon the moon comes into view from the other direction and from over the hills and farmlands. Wandering the streets, there is a cry that soon goes up, investigating, one finds out the blacksmith is gone, tools he had been working, sitting there and a full barrel of horseshoes that has very little cool water left. As well, the healer in the room of the inn keepers wife had been knocked out and the woman was gone as well. The healer being awakened had fallen asleep only to find the woman up and striking the back of his head with part of the bed as a makeshift weapon. <br /> <br /> Kroth frowns, &quot;We must track them, quickly. If they get too far there is no telling if we can find them again.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks, idly double checking his rifle as he looks for some sign of where they may have wandered off to.<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls survival: (6)+3: 9<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls surival: (11)+surival: 11<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls survival: (3)+7: 10<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'I'll give the first roll + seven for 18. since it should have been that. You find some tracks of the direction where both had gone, more towards the center of town and a little north more near the council;s manor direction of things on the hill.'<br /> <br /> Belladona pages: Thanks.<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms as she finds some tracks and she kneels down, &quot;Well I have some tracks over here. More of the head to the center of twn although some go to the north. Isn't there a council's manor over that way?&quot;<br /> <br /> Out and about as the call goes out, some of the more helpful and less afraid city dwellers are out looking as well. <br /> <br /> Kroth helps look around, but really has no tracking skills, though he can see in the dark, for what thats worth.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;What kind of knowledge skills does everyone have?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet know religion, the planes, and guns.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Nature&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;None!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth is a stupid stupid oruch fighter/monk :)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;LOL not at all, but seeing if something might have helped. Bell another Survival roll.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls survival: (6)+7: 13<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Following most of the people and where the tracks lead towards the manor of the council you come to where the street/road rises. Roll perception everyone.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (7)+7: 14<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (15)+7: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (17)+10: 27<br /> <br /> As you all get closer to where the road would begin to rise up to the manner, Bell follows the tracks and right before they seem to vanish, though the high traffic there makes for more confusion so it could have been lost in that. All of you hear something though, like a movement, a patter of feet in damp confines coming from the sewer grate near the edge of the road. This follows with what sounds like something stumbling and grunting a little. <br /> <br /> Kroth moves over near the grate, looking inside to see whats down there...hopefully nothing stabs him in the face while he looks.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;didn't see anything after Kroth.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks. &quot;Sewers... always the way, ain't it?&quot; The Absolution pulls a brass an crystal device from his belt, turning the knob so the crystal starts to glow with a faint yellow light, much like a torch, but without the heat and smoke. Unlikely to burn out, either. He does, however, keep his every burning torch away from ruining Kroth's night vision.<br /> <br /> Belladona wrinkles her nose a bit, &quot;Pretty much when it comes to adventuring.&quot; She says as she leads the way towards the sewers and she narrows her eyes to try to see if she can see anything.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> It is plain to see the woman, the innkeeper's wife, all still bandaged up, moving once more down along the sewer, the light catches its attantion, looking back and she hisses. She doesn't stop though, picking up speed now, moving akwardly with a what appears to be a broken arm and an ankle cocked at a weird angle, bones poking out form the wound, leaving a trail of blood behind her. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bennet focuses upon the woman, unsure if what she is now is like who she was before...<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Detect Evil&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Can we open the grate to the sewer?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Ineed it imminates a rather distinct source of evil. Around her head an aura of evil in fact is where it is concentrated mostly.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;with a little work and a strength roll yes.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;I'll pull the grate&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls strength: (11)+3: 14<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Bleh&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Kroth grabs at the grate, starting to pull and try to rip it out of the ground.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls strength: (10)+4: 14<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;it groans a little but doesn't budge much form the concrete anchors.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;anyone else?&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet is not mighty. Lets the buff guys try, but when raw strength doesn't work, maybe a bit of celver leverage will do...<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls strength: (8)+1: 9<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Or not&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona goes to help Kroth out as she grips a hold of the grate and she yanks on it. &quot;Must be rusted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;both of you together make it crack enough a little wiggling for a few minutes would dislodge the grate.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, and keeps working. &quot;Keep pulling..&quot; He strains for a bit, pulling at the grate and working at it.<br /> <br /> Minutes have passed while you work at the grate and finally get it loose, there is plenty of space for everyone to get through and their equipment, but the woman is well gone, only leaving the small drops of blood to show which direction she has gone. North it seems though soon enough with the twists and turns that if one hurries one might get lost, but if not one might not catch up to the woman. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;unless someone has a way of qickly memorizing every which way you go in?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;remind me to take knowledge sewers or something. LOL&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet follows the trail as best he can. Getting out again is a problem for later. &quot;Possession of some sort, I reckon. Something bad. Don't worry 'bout hurting them possessed, don't reckon is much of them left.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona goes to help get the grate off finally and she looks around. &quot;It might be those spider things that are inside of her.&quot; She suggests as she starts to lightly scratch on the wall with her knife to indicate the direction back out.<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, &quot;We must hurry, a simple villager is weak and can hardly resist evils such as this.&quot; He moves along, using his darkvision to see further ahead than the light would allow.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay who is taking front, back middle and such, what order?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;I'll take front with Samafia&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;The sewer is a decent size, two two foot paths to either side, stinks fo course, but the water int he middle at this point is maybe three foot deep and barely a current.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;I can take the rear, watch for stuff behind us. Or front, either way.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;so Bennet in the middle then. Kroth the back bell in front. PRobably the best way to do things too. for what is coming up.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet nods, is fine with that order<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Can I throw barkskin on Samafia?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;sure can.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona casts Barkskin. Caster Level: 4 DC: 15<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;how long does it last?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;40 minutes&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay plenty of time.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;RP while I write the pose a little.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet isn't fond of enclosed spaces, espically ones that stink of sewage. But the Absolution carries one quietly, now and again checking his weapon to assure himsefl all is in working order. A misfire is never a good thing, and even less so in the middle of combat.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;or prepare anything that nyou might think you need to prepare. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona leads the way as ashe can see in the dark with Samafia by her side. She has her shield up and ready along with her claws.<br /> <br /> Kroth takes up the rear guard, looking back now and then to make sure nothing sneaks up on them while they are down here.<br /> <br /> As the party moves along the walkway, anyone stepping int the water won't like the smell that sticks with them for awhile after, but it isn't all that slippery. The weather has been fairly good, cold perhaps, but not too much rain lately. The soft whisper of feet and the current passes down the paths as they follow the blood. After a few turns, webbing begins to appear, in small patches, then in greater amounts the further one goes. <br /> <br /> It starts becoming more and more evident that indeed the suspicion of spiders might be the reason fro what is happening as there is far more webbing then can be accounted for being a dark place like this and the ever increasing amount as they follow the blood trail dripping here and there. Soon it stops though, as if something might have realized the trail it was leaving, bloody webs nearby. Samafia begins to growl a little, hair rising, something doesn't seem right to the animal, something is off.

Bell also notes the concentration of webs over head right where the stone is, bulging a little downward, the slight impression of something large and squarish made in it. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, &quot;This is strange, what sort of spider sets up a trap?

Anyone else shows up I'll page it to them.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia nods<br /> <br /> Since arriving in the late afternoon, the adventurers have discovered that a malady of not a curse, but some outside force is taking over people. The signs of intense itching like something crawling around in their body was most likely some spider of some kind. The keys to this are the spectral webs around the ears, mouth and nose, almost like a funnel spiders in nature, waiting inside by the use of Detect magic. The innkeeper's wife and blacksmith have both wound up disappearing by nightfall and tracking them the wife was discovered int he sewers, clearly not herself, more like a robot being controlled, ankle and arm broken she didn't seemed phased, only hissed. By the time they got the sewer grate off she was gone. A blood trail was found from the broken ankle and it lead deeper into the sewers to the north of town with ever increasing amounts of spider webs. They were held up when the blood trail ended and a trap was discovered and there they were stopped for the moment. One at least rock depression on the ground was discovered and above a bulging web, like something heavy was being held in it and in a depression carved out of the roof of the sewer itself. <br /> <br /> There they sit and while they were figuring what to do other adventurer notified of the sewer escape have show up in time to help them out. The sewer itself is rather large with a two brick and stone walkways on either side, easily traversed by most people, the water, stinking in between is slow and lazy as it heads out towards the waterway to the north side of town. So the trap is there and everyone waits to see what those there and newly arrived might do. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;So that is basically it and were we are at for now. Some form of Spider or spiders at at the bas trouble it seems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Now that we have other people, anyone that knows how to deal with traps and such?&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks mildly, holding aloft his room tempature Everyburning Torch, which does nothing particular to the webs. &quot;...times like this sorta wish had an old-fashion flame. Got a flint and bit of tinder, but reckon is damp enough may take a while to make a spark. Iffen any of ya'll got ideas, I'm listening.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet says, &quot;*Everburning Torch&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;...May I be present as additional back having been called in?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Just trying to figure out why I'm here if it's in the middle of things.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole nods, &quot;Why I added that part about all the others showing up. Indeed you are there.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms a little bit, &quot;Well normally I prepare produce flame, but recently I had need of some mists instead so I switched it out. I do carry flint and steel with me to help start a fire when needed.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling attaches a tank to his large gleaming chrome gauntlet. &quot;If it gets thick we will burn our way through, I prepared some fuel for my flamethrower but it won't last long.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana does step back a bit, &quot;Well if you are going to do that we should probably move back a bit.&quot;<br /> <br /> Approaching in titan armor, Zenia looks about and whistles. &quot;Dang.&quot; she says, &quot;This is a HUGE infestation, how'd it get this big?&quot; she asks, then holds up her deathray as the chamber rolls from a glowing blue to a glowing orange. &quot;Yeah, if we need fire I've got plenty of power in the ray. Or we could try other things, anyone tried talking to these spidery things? I mean they're... PROBABLY not mindless unless we're dealing with some kind of servitor race to a greater amoral or immoral creature.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;They're evil.&quot; Which is all Bennet thinks needs said on that matter.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Guessing no person with Disable Device here?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia has it!<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Artificer. :3&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shrugs &quot;Dont want to waste fuel if I dont need to, lets just press on and squish em'&quot; he shoulders through some of the webs, pulling them down with his gauntlets if in the way.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole reminds everyone of the trap that currently has the group stalled for the moment. :P<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Ah missed that.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;The webs?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Oh&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia will try for a disable device check then<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Roll it.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls Disable Device: (2)+9: 11<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Least it wasn't a 1!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;I think those mean, 'Terribad results'&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;yeah that would have been worse... Lets see. I imagine everyone else was hanging back far enough? :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Roll I mean.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Give me a Reflex roll.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls Reflex: (13)+6: 19<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay I'll pose what happened it missed you.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;You can pose trying to disable it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona moves back to let the artificer try to disable the trap. &quot;Well if the trap goes off maybe it will trap the spiders in there.&quot;<br /> <br /> Clink! KA-CHUNK! Clank. It seems that Zenia is trying to remove the trap then glances back in a distracted manner momentarily as she says, &quot;We've got no idea what they're after though, can't really stop them per se unless we have a good idea of that.&quot;<br /> <br /> As Zenia tried to disable the trap, something clicks and the raised rock lowers, it is enough of a warning that Zenia is able to toss herself back a mere few inches less and the giant square stone block might have caught her foot or more indeed if she hadn't responded so quickly. The stone hits the ground hard, several feet across and several feet up, enough to make something very squashed or several if it hadn't been seen, but not high enough to block off the sewer either. The webbing above that held the stone is ripped, like it was design to give as a sharp blade parted it along the bottom to let the stone drop.

The Giant spiders hiss and curse in some unitelligble way, the simple command they had been given was to keep those out that got past the traps or kill if trapped in them as well. They look ready for a fight. (OOC they control the three squares on top fo the rock as the space is only 15 ft across, looks like you have to get through them.) <br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole advances the initiative order.<br /> <br /> Round One - Init 4.<br /> <br /> It is now Lyrana's turn!

You can pose coming up and charging into things.. or whatever you do best.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet mutters and grumbles as he pops the broken crystal free from his rifle. Pulling a small screwdriver from his pocket, the Absolution fiddles for a bit.... only to have the tool slip form his fingers and disappear into the muck. A few phrases follow that with a bit of effort could likely be weaponized themselves. But, he does manage to shove a fresh crystal into place, and snap the hatch closed again. It's not a pretty fix, but it'll do.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;roll it&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Aevarr rolls ranged: (12)+6: 18<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;that is a hit. most likely dead. rolld damage&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Aevarr rolls 1d8+3: (4)+3: 7<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Pose taking it out and we will go out of timestop and try to get things up to speed to the final confrontation.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;its dead for sure. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole removes the timestop.<br /> <br /> Timestop by Vroole has left.<br /> <br /> GAME: You remove the timestop.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;pose the afternmath and I guess fixing your gun Bennet?&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr does not have any spider venom handy (that is to say, venom that kills spiders). Instead, he nocks and looses an arrow into one of the AoUSes. It punctures carapace and causes all eight legs to curl up as it falls.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The remains of the burnt and smashed up, goey remains of the spiders rests before the party, the way clear now and nothing else can be heard for the moment. The block now that things are secure is easy t get over and there is only one way to go down the Sewer as it leads more towards the edge of town and the lake there. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;alrigth pse what you are and then we'll FF a little.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;all roll me a perception check.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (1)+10: 11 (EPIC FAIL)<br /> <br /> Lyrana looks around a bit, &quot;Did anyone get hurt?&quot; she asks as she does.<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (3)+7: 10<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls perception: (20)+4: 24<br /> <br /> GAME: Stirling rolls perception: (16)+8: 24<br /> <br /> GAME: Aevarr rolls perception: (6)+10: 16<br /> <br /> Belladona shakes her head, &quot;I don't think so.&quot; She moves forward into the sewer and she has to help Samafa up over the boulder. She walks along and has her shield and claws ready.<br /> <br /> Bennet sighs, and slowly takes apart the mechanisims once more, before putting tham all carefully back into proper alignment. Not only will the weapon work, but it will keep doing so for a while... in theory. &quot;Only hurt my pride.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling tries to light his cigar in the damp, trying several times to get it started before it takes &quot;Nothing that cant be fixed by crushing a few more critters.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay anytime everyone is ready to move forward when poses are done.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia nods<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The path continues to grow with the amount of webs everywhere, over walls and floor, the paths becoming more treacherous to walk on, though they aren't strong enough to,hold anyone down, they could hamper movement in combat if it were to happen. The only clear part of the sewer is the water that flows along lazily, along with other things that float in it and the ever present smell of things people might put down a toilet from above. First Lyrana and Stirling hear something, like what one might wonder what a spider speaking sounds like. (OOC both of you pose first then Aevarr can pose, back to free pose after while they are hearing that. Seems there is something else ahead now also and it sounds intelligent rather more than anything else the spiders before spit out, like ti was barking commands, Then decide order of how you will move in and give me another perception roll everyone and where you are, walking on webs or mucking through water in what order and who is in front and such)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;well meant to hit enter after a few more poses.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole :P<br /> <br /> Belladona tries to ignore the smell as best ashe can as she uses her sharp claws to cut through the waves that get in the way. She hears something ahead and it sounds very intelligent. She relays the info to the others behind her as they sneak forward.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;almost done all should be one more fight and then round it all up at the end.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling moves along third in the group, taping the disc at his chest to make sure its still working. Looking up suddenly he raises a hand &quot;You hear that? Sounds like trouble coming our way.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Let me get stealth rolls at a -2 on webs, or -1 in the water if you are going that wya. and perception rolls as well.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls stealth: (7)+0: 7<br /> <br /> GAME: Stirling rolls stealth: (19)+4: 23<br /> <br /> Aevarr moves long with th others, temporarily without quip in light of attempts to remain inconspicuous.<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls 1d20+7: (18)+7: 25<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;And what path water or webs you are taking.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;That's for samafa&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling will go water.<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls stealth-2: (3)+1+-2: 2<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (3)+7: 10<br /> <br /> GAME: Stirling rolls perception: (17)+8: 25<br /> <br /> Bennet continues to quietly grumble, fussing over his gun.

Lets burn through it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms as she tries to be sneaky, but she's not as good at it as Samafa is who's naturally sneaky being a lioness. She does have pretty good sense of hearing and she nods to Stirling, &quot;Yes it looks like there is a trap up ahead.&quot; She nods as she and Samafa hold up to let to those that can burn go ahead of them.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;might suggest pointing them out. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana is trying to be sneaky, but doesn't really succeed, after all war golem in armor and all that, she trudges through the water, splash splash, clang. She blinks, &quot;Know we are here.&quot; she murmers.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Zenia, looks like it will take two more fire shots to clear the trap triggers made of webs one to each side of the sewer. Roll twice and unless you get ones it only takes two shots, and I'll pose what happens.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;so you are keeping track of how many you use... Probably have around 14-16 total I would imagine a day?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;I was planning to use Burning Hands since deathray shots are limited.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;ahh go for that then.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;that works too.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Stirling casts Burning Hands.

It allows the party to move forward to an opening the sounds came from on the right. Into the a large room, 40 across and 40 feet in width. A drainage basin room one might find for when the sewer overflows. The spider webs are even thicker here and along the sides several body size web cocoons are there, they aren't moving and two are partially done it seems over a large male, the blacksmith and another the wife of the inn keeper. A ten foot path rings a pit in the middle, across from them sits a human size blue humanoid figure with a face of a spider and sickle like arms. It is looking at them pointing at them as two more giant spiders work from either side of the room and one above climbing along the ceiling on the webs. Several other smaller spiders can be seen, not looking to get confrontational as they are maybe a finger nail in width and seem to be crawling over the newly acquired food in the two humans being wrapped up.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ATTENTION -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Vroole has dropped a TIMESTOP!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Please +init, then cease all roleplay and actions immediately and wait for Vroole to instruct you further.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> For additional in-combat commands, please type: +thelp.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;roll your init.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls initiative: Roll: 2 + Bonus: 3 = Total: 5<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls initiative: Roll: 20 + Bonus: 2 = Total: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: You roll initiative for Stirling: Roll: 10 + Bonus: +3 = Total: 13<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;i'll fix you stirling.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Ah oops!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;easy fix.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole advances the initiative order.<br /> <br /> Round One - Init 22.<br /> <br /> It is now Lyrana's turn!

Samafa dodges the clumsy attempt by the spider to bite her when she ges close.

In short, if you have an itch to run a player run plot, for the most part you're allowed to do so. That is, plots tend to not require pre-approval from staff.

Not the most dignified of acts, but... spiders!<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Hrm, suppose I should pluck the spiders on Bennet.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;if anyone is wanting to, that might be a good idea.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;hard and fast rules. Make it a dex roll.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Stirling rolls dexterity: (12)+3: 15<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;yup you are able to swipe them off.

Spiderlings is next!<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Lyrana your turn.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona charges towards the last giant spider that's left and she swipes at it with her claws. Samafa also goes to lean and bite at it but misses. Belladona claws across it's belly and ducks out of the way.<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls 1d4: (3): 3<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Spider is dazzled for 3 rounds, which means...&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;-1 on attack rolls and sight-based perception checks&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Cool, probably won't last long to attack again though.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;or hope not LOL&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;going to wait still lyr for any heals needed?&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Looking at the -massive- spider, Zenia grins. &quot;Now I have better test fodder...&quot; then fires the deathray as the spider seems to be pretty much on its last legs. Hopefully. It does have a lot of them! &quot;Biology study coming up soon... Gonna have to collect some of that ichor of yours.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole advances the initiative order.<br /> <br /> Round Four - Init 21.<br /> <br /> It is now Spiderlings' turn! Bennet is next!<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole advances the initiative order.<br /> <br /> Round Four - Init 21.<br /> <br /> It is now Bennet's turn! Stirling is next!<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;alright bennet your go.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia can also heal if necessary<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;f I'm skipping like this I'm really trying to get this done. Getting late and wrapping it up.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Bang bang a spider.... er... I am free of spiderlings, correct?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Yes free of spiderlings.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls 1d20+10: (8)+10: 18<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;roll damage&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls 1d12+1: (7)+1: 8<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;And dead... :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;pose it.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole removes the timestop.<br /> <br /> Timestop by Vroole has left.<br /> <br /> GAME: You remove the timestop.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;After he poses all can start posing and such then. I'll write a wrap up.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;and answer questions.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet shudders a little, patting himself a moment to be sure there's no live spiders left on him... and focuses again, taking aim at the remaining spider and lauching another flaming lead ball. It doesn't take much to blow the rest of the bug apart, leaving a small burning hole where it had been.<br /> <br /> Lyrana moves around, &quot;Does anyone need healing?&quot; she asks and then does move to check the blacksmith and innkeeper's wife.<br /> <br /> Belladona shakes her head, &quot;no I'm all right.&quot; She says as she startsto go to cut out the victems as Samafa starts to pound and tear at the smaller spiders.<br /> <br /> Stirling shrinks down to regular size and stretched his arms &quot;Well thats a good bit of fun, wasn't it?&quot; he says with a grin to Bennett.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Twirling a small disc on a leather strap, Zenia nods as well. &quot;Yeah, I can do that too actually.&quot; then looks at those in the webs and pauses, before realizing that there are -people- in there. &quot;OH CRAP!&quot; she says, rushing over towards them and helping to tear the webs with her armor. &quot;Hey, are you two OK?&quot; she asked, looking somewhat panicked.<br /> <br /> Bennet blehs, moving to check on the ones trapped. &quot;Could have done without them crawling on me...&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;You'll find them quite dead... unable to be healed. The spiderlings had eaten away most of the brain's motor control to use them like a big bag of flesh to brign down for eating.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Mostly only dangerous to those that were alseep when they invaded their brains... Course taking a day to eat their way in and setup till the next night and then taking them for food.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Yummy&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet ews... &quot;So... all in favor of burning this place and every brain-eating spider in it?&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Yep.&quot; Zenia says, &quot;Provided it doesn't... Y'know, actually blow up the town above. Don't want that happening.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana nods her head, &quot;Sounds good to me, or at least ordering an extermination team to come down and do it.&quot; she shakes her head a bit.<br /> <br /> <br /> After the Ettercap was killed the spiders it had controlled were not much of a problem, not that the Ettercap was either it seems as the group had smacked it around pretty quick, which was probably a good thing. The people that had been taken are all found to be dead, most with enlarged holes at ear, mouth or nose, like something had burst outward after they were being strung up and preserved. None have survived the trauma the little control spiders had had on them, a good portion of the motor control part of the brain having been eaten out and the husks taken over like zombies almost to bring back for food for the spiders and the Ettercap to feast on. Horse's daughter is nothing but a skinned bag of bones, hollow and quite not a pretty sight after almost three weeks having been drained. As most others that fat back. The wizard not having been found would later be found and discovered to have gotten into a fight with a few other spiders and having a fear of such blew his whole house up with himself inside. <br /> <br /> The people of Derry are happy, even if sad as well that their loved ones could not be returned to them, the drainage room being closed, bricked up after being burned with all the webs in the sewers with it. It will never be used again or allowed to be used as a lair for such foul creatures. It was best left to memory and letting it be buried away, or so most of Derry had agreed upon.</div>

<p>Vroole: </p> <hr /> <div> An older farmer waits at the gates of Alexandria, a cart and two horses hitched to it are ready for the party of adventurers to the township of Derry. He smiles and tips his hat, &quot;Well don't this beat all. A much pleasant sight to see all these fine young folk so willing to help old Derry out.&quot; He seems in a pretty good mood and waves them on over to the cart, &quot;Nothing is enough for all you grand folk. A ride if you need it, we have a decent leg of a trip to be getting to and the more time we waste here the more Derry falls under the curse its found itself in.&quot; <br /> <br /> He turns and hops up into the driver seat, only then does the grey image of someone cloaked in the mists move, a old blunderbuss style type gun in his grasp, and leans it over his shoulder. This one doesn't look so happy in his weather beaten hat and the first calms all of the Adventures, &quot;Don't mind old Gunny there. He don't like strangers. You can call me Horse. Parents always knew I'd be a cart man, but they decided Carter was to common a name for such, besides every lady knows I'm hung like a...&quot; Gunny shoulders the man, he was getting to personal and the grumpy one grunts to warn him, &quot;Excuse me, living' on the road I suppose one doesn't require manners all that much? So, how about we get some names while we get this party movin'?&quot; A vert talkative one tot seems and even as those riding in the wagon get on, he snaps the reigns and they are off, seems talking on the way might be the way to go about it. Several large furs are also in the wagon, seems that everyone is going to be expected to sleep in the wagon perhaps till the reach Derry on the next afternoon. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;As an aside, can I get healed fully?&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana cocks her head to the side as she listens, &quot;I do not understand the reference, Hung like a? Are you talking about hanging from a tree or something?&quot; the war golem asks as she looks at the guy. &quot;Oh, I forget myself, I am Lyrana of the Temple of Daeus.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;you know I should learn how to do that stuff, unless Whirl there does it, not sure how that works.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;What's up?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Which stuff? :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Oh, damaging.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;cIt's prett&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;It's easy. :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;the healing and all that.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Whirlpool damaged you for -100 points. 16 remaining.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;There. :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;so you do take care of that then as we go. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Silmeria,&quot; a blond in a breastplate and black velvet dress answers, cheeks practically glowing at the nearly-completed comparison. &quot;Temple of Vardama... May I ask, um... what's been ''happening'' out in Derry? Only I'd heard the rumors, but...&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling follows along on his own horse scruffy black warhorse, enormous black deathray seated across the saddle in front of him. Between that and his enormous chrome gauntlets there can be little doubt what the artifice intends to do. He does offers the farmer a friendly nod and grunt but little else in the way of idle chatter.<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'Also does anyone in this group have any like auto detect magics of any kind?'<br /> <br /> Korrani unloads her pack for the long ride and settles down in a small puddle of furs, sitting on the floor of the cart. She leans her back against the 'driver side' of the cart and draws one knee up to rest an arm on it. She tips her hooded head to Lyrana. &quot;Best you not ask for the rest of that sentence. Korrani Penfast. Adventurer for hire.&quot;<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: You can aks them as DM. :)<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: But no. :)<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'Didn't want to give some info out, so they go hey why did he ask about detect magic and use something because I let the cat out of the bag.'<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: Understandable. :)<br /> <br /> Indeed Horse was going to answer the woman since she asked, but it seems Korrani had gotten the idea and for the moment he lets it be, &quot;PEople have been disappearing... Actin' strange, says their skin itches, scratchin and rippin their clothes over a day. Next mornin they are gone, some say they see em get up and wandering the streets. Tried followin them, many have, but they always dissapear before the mornin.&quot; Gunny jsut snorts and grunts in acknowledgment, seems the one calling shotgun doesn't have many words. Almost the perfect pair it seems if you wanted to put too extremes of conversationilst together. <br /> <br /> Lyrana looks at Korrani, &quot;Why would I not ask for the rest? I already did.&quot; she shakes her head, &quot;Still don't fully understand organics at times.&quot; she says and shakes her head again. She nods herhead, &quot;Alive or dead or just seem like it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; BeagleHugs o.o<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;We've discovered a problem. xD&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Just a help file issue. :) CArry on.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;(Sorry for the spam, guys. XD)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; BeagleHugs says, &quot;Fixed!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;The +prhelp command here was borked. :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Vroole, there you go. ALl the info you need.&quot;<br /> <br /> The cart bounces along the uneven cart path towards the east, Horse very happy to tell what he knows, &quot;They seem alright, perhaps not themselves either. Anyone tryin to talk to them only get. A hello, and out for a walk, somethin like that, but never why they are up, or where all of them have been goin. Lost around twenty folk so far, another five at least or maybe a few more by the time we get there tomorrow.&quot; Horse sighs a little and shakes his head, &quot;Lost me own we littin also, one of the first to vanish. I hopin she is alright and you all can find her.&quot; Sadness creeps into the little old man... <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;cool&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We will,&quot; Silmeria says, &quot;do everything in our power to get them back, Master Horse, Master Gunny.&quot; Settling back in the cart, she goes about the preparations to see that she can accomplish exactly that; checking the action of her crossbow, the edge of her sword, and the fit of her armor as the cart bounces along its way toward the town.<br /> <br /> &quot;Mind Control? What about the itchiness and scratching themselves until they rip their clothes?&quot; Korrani asks, unfamiliar with the workings of magic or mind control.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;let me know if anyone has anymore questions or not and we can FF.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Is there any rhyme or reason with who disappears? Anything in common?&quot; Korrani asks. &quot;What they did, where they went, what they ate...?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana says, &quot;all good to ff here&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Good to go.&quot;<br /> <br /> Horse nods a bit and looks back, a little teary in his eyes, &quot;Thank you. I was very happy the council decided to put up the money to hire you all.&quot; He then shakes his head to Korrani's question, &quot;Nothin we hadn't been eatin' all the time. Our own growin' from the fields. Or from animals we have always raised. Perhaps if there is someone that is bein' cursed you will see. Very few days these last week there hasn't been one or two.&quot; <br /> <br /> The cart keeps moving all night long and well into the next day, the sun dipping towards the horizon before the town of Derry comes into view when the wagon rolls over one of the larger hills. The countryside had gradually changed from woods to farms and fields since the mid days meal when the sun was high and Horse seems to be tired, but he also seems determined to get all of you there before another day passes. &quot;There be Derry...&quot; Horse says it with such pride and comfort that they are finally going to be there, the clomp of hooves on the dirt, a person passing by now and again, giving greeting those up front and then those riding behind. None seem to ill affected and most look like they are farmers and would probably not live int he town proper. Smoke begins to curl up from the houses surrounded by an eight foot wall that encircles Derry proper and all the shops, inns and other main businesses of the town, including those that are a little better off when it comes to coins in their purses. The smell of dinner is in the air, all sorts of meet like spices and the roasting of vegetables and the boiled tint of stews and soups being cooked over the hearths. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'll wait for a pose or two from everyone here then pose again.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling grumbles from his saddle &quot;Bit rustic ain't it? Anyhow lets make with the standard Arvek Nar mental recalibration and get a piece of whatevers cooking. Be a shame to leave here on an empty stomach.&quot; he notes with a grin.<br /> <br /> Aevarr says, &quot;As cozy as this is,&quot; Aevarr pipes up, &quot;are we certain we wish to travel to a town of strange itching and people running off into the night? It rather makes my skin crawl. Remind me of nightmare tales concerning a brothel or three... heard third-hand, of course...&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Aevarr makes that an @emit.<br /> <br /> Korrani scoots a little to put some distance between her and Aevarr at this talk of brothel itch. &quot;You should've thought of that before accepting the guild ticket on this one. Too late to go back now,&quot; Korrani grins tuskily.<br /> <br /> &quot;Not that we'd return even if we had the choice,&quot; Silmeria notes, looking up from her sword. &quot;Good people need help, after all...&quot; A small, sad smile passes over her face as they pass the walls, the blnd drawing in a slow, deep breath. &quot;It's a lovely town, Master Horse, Master Gunny... don't you worry, we'll set things right as well as we can.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana stretches as she gets out of the cart now that they have arrived. She glances around and then nods her head a it, &quot;Well we should get to it, so we can find and then complete the task, helping this village.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana refreshes spells.<br /> <br /> GAME: Silmeria refreshes spells.<br /> tirling dismounts as well, slinging the enormous firearm across his back &quot;Right, let slap some sense into these people and get some dinner. I am famished.&quot; he says flexing his chrome gauntlets, seems he means it too.<br /> <br /> &quot;I'll let the council know you have arrived.&quot; Horse nods to them all, &quot;Gunny here will show you to the house where the first time it happened. You are welcome to eat anythin' as I was told food will be waitin' for you, I don't go home myself anymore, but I'll send word with who is afflicted once I know who is. I will be quick adventurers.&quot; With that Horse runs off to the biggest house or building in the middle of town and Gunny shows you to Horses house. Even now a few of the women and men of the town are setting up the table with all sorts of different foods for different tastes and palletes. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;if you want to discuss a preplan, now is good while I get the next pose in order with more info.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, let's get started slapping people about. I'm sure that will make them much more talkative...&quot; Aevarr chuckles dryly as he disembarks and happily stretches his legs. He then looks to the others. &quot;Jests and brothels aside, does anyone have the slightest thought of what could be the cause of this?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I think we'll know more if we can see any afflicted,&quot; Silmeria says, sheathing her sword and running a hand through her hair. &quot;I'm tempted to call it some sort of pestilence for the moment... but, I'm no trained healer.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shrugs &quot;Right, we dunno what could be doing it, really hard to tell until we see folks? With any luck its some upstart wizard messing around with magics beyond him and he just needs to be put in his place.&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani grunts as she gets up from the cart and picks up her pack, then hops off the cart lightly. She places her hands on her lower back and stretches her spine. &quot;That was some journey,&quot; she sighs. She glances at the setting up of food. &quot;Don't know if I want to eat anything here until we have some idea of what could be the cause...&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr considers the food, then considers it much less. &quot;She makes a strong point for rations, in this case.&quot; Instead, he starts looking for Horse, their handy handholder into the haggard history of happenings in this hapless hamlet.<br /> <br /> Silmeria approaches the table despite the complaints of the others, smiling gently and offerng her thanks for sharing what they have. &quot;I know these are hard times,&quot; she says of one of the villagers, and I know the questions are harder still... but... was there anything... anything at all, really... that the people had in common who fell to this sickness? Other than living here, of course.&quot;<br /> <br /> Horse doesn't return, but a messenger does carrying a scroll, just a plain ordinary scroll with writing, more like a record of names, ages and dates of who has been afflicted and disappeared. Twenty three names show previous dates and the fact they are missing, two currently are noted as that day having complained of being itchy and should be watched. The Garden Lock, an inn, his wife in her thirties, another the Blacksmith himself. &quot;If you need the council let me know I'll be waiting outside.&quot; Perhaps the records might help answer some questions, maybe not, but clearly there are two people that can be checked out as well. <br /> <br /> Stirling nods to the comment about the food &quot;Right, good thinking keeping to our own. Shall we be on our way then? Find out whats going on here.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;Anyone else?&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani walks over to look at the list. &quot;Hmm. Perhaps we should talk to the infected first? See if we can have them restrained to prevent them from walking off?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Anyone else or we lose some people?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria is posing.<br /> <br /> Stirling nods to Korrani &quot;Sounds like a plan. Whose first on the list?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling is good to go.<br /> <br /> &quot;Probably for the best,&quot; Silmeria says, &quot;though perhaps it might not be quite so wise to talk of restraint when we don't know if they've been, or need it just yet?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;So what's the plan?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani is good to go, too.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Check out the afflicted.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr nods in agreement. &quot;So long as we don't need to talk to them too closely...&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Which first, the blacksmith or the inn keeper's wife?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;The ...uh...Blacksmith?&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani wrap her hooded scarf around her neck a few more times, then tucks it in at certain places to allow it to cover her nose and mouth as an impromptu protective mask.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria nod, blacksmith sounds like a plan.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Kitten isn't being very cooperative either, many keys are being pressed. and alright&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I miss anything since my pose?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Nope&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shoulders into the workshop with his deathray across his shoulder. &quot;Hilderman is it? Put the hammer down and lets have a word.&quot; the large hobgoblin does not seem to leave any room for argument.<br /> <br /> Silmeria follows Stirling into the workshop, lips pursing at the artificer's tone. Slipping to one side by the door, she stands, silent for the moment to see how the blacksmith reacts.<br /> <br /> The Blacksmith shakes his head, &quot;Can't be doing that... work, it keeps the itching at bay. The heat... I don't want to itch, don't want to tear me flesh off to make it stop.&quot; Brock looks to them, his motions never faltering even as he speaks to them, &quot;Won't go to sleep... Need to stay awake and not itch.&quot; He shakes a little, shivering as if he is resisting, even as he stops for a moment only, &quot;Don't take away my work...&quot; The hammer begins to swing again and again like, one thing is obvious the man was very skilled as the metal easily began to shape itself, bending and then the hiss of heated metal and another piece of metal is grabbed form the fire to be shaped into a horseshoe, the water in the barrel spills over, even as it begins to settle once more level with the top and the mass of the shoe displaced inside. How many things were inside that barrel? <br /> <br /> Korrani walks in with the others, looking around the blacksmithy as Stirling grabs Brock's attention. &quot;We won't take away your work. We're from Alexandria to investigate the mystery illness that's affecting Derry. Can you tell us anything about what you were doing before started showing symptoms?&quot; she asks.<br /> <br /> &quot;Please,&quot; Silmeria says from her place by the door. &quot;It's very important, Master Hilderman... If we can learn how the itching started, we might be able to learn how to stop it.&quot;<br /> <br /> The blacksmith nods, &quot;Woke up that way, at first it was only a tingle. like a foot that had almost gone to sleep. It kept getting worse, its almost unbearable even now. I can't concentrate, getting tired, my mind is fuzzy. Work still helps, the heat as if it sears the nerves, to soothe the itch. But its not working as well now... You are the adventurer's the council paid for? Even if I disappear like the rest, you have to find out what is doing this. No one else can go through this... Its pure hell, like I'm loosing myself ever so much, little by little.&quot; <br /> <br /> Stirling starts to look around the shop, looking at tools and the workshop for anything out of place or anything he would like in his own workshop. &quot;Had any healer look at you yet?&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Autumn says, &quot;Yikes: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2014/11/texas-approves-textbooks-with-moses-as-founding-father/&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Cesran says, &quot;Well it's texas.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Autumn says, &quot;Yup, but still.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;And this is why I hate organized religion. Does it have its perks? Yes. But then shit like this happens.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Cesran says, &quot;Failed to ever see the benefits of organized religion.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;Supports various charitable works, builds up the communities they serve, instills a sense of purpose and stability for those that need them.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;But the problems come when it turns to fanaticism and zeal, like... well Autumn, you showed us right there what happens.&quot;<br /> <br /> The blacksmith seems to get frustrated, losing concentration on the work he is doing seems to agitate him more, &quot;Healers don't know a thing... haven't figured out anything after a month. They go mad you see, and yet all becomes calm... I want the calm almost, its getting harder to fight it, to think, to even care.&quot; The messenger speaks briefly letting them know that the blacksmith has been the first to fight off not ripping his clothing off, though he is already half undressed, no shirt on as he works, only heavy work pants and a leather apron hanging down. He mentions the inn keepers wife isn't so well off and had to be restrained or she would have peeled her own flesh form her body, or it seemed like they might try to. They only let the blacksmith work because he is fighting it so well, waiting to see if he succumbs as well during the night. Indeed you may have noticed townspeople watching very closely the blacksmith and the inn a short way down the road. <br /> <br /> &quot;Thank you,&quot; Silmeria murmurs, loosing a quiet sigh. &quot;Very well, Master Hilderman... We'll do whatever we can to stop this, no matter what. Perhaps we should see to the inkeeper's wife, now?&quot; she asks of her fellows.<br /> <br /> Korrani looks to Silmeria, then back to Hilderman. Then she nods in agreement with Silmeria. &quot;Yes, let's go talk to her next.&quot;<br /> <br /> As you decide to go see the innkeeper's wife, the messenger shows you in and up the stairs to their private rooms. In the bed, sedated by a healer hanging nearby, strapped down in case she awakens. The sheets she is under are tinged here and there with dark maroon stains, the healer warning you right away you might not want to look, &quot;She tried to take her skin off with a knife. And even then she struggled and clawed at the wounds, like she couldn't get something out of her. I have no idea what is happening, I can't find anything that inside, any illness, no healing spells have been able to help anyone yet.&quot; The innkeeper looks on, worried, concerned, even as the woman seems to be sleeping very peacefully at the moment. &quot;Powerful drugs are the only thing that has kept her laying there... Enough for a full grown horse.&quot; <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;trying to pick things up a little more quickly... since its getting late.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It too that much to put her at ease?&quot; Korrani asks in surprise. &quot;Did she say anything of significance before she was drugged?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Anyone got detect magic or something like that?&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling scratches his chin and furrows his brow &quot;So none of the healers know whats going on? Perhaps its something around the house? Some kind of curse?&quot; he suggests looking at the others.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Vroole, don't feel ba if you have to schedule a part two.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Especially since it's your first time. These things sometimes take a while!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm not too worried about doing that if I have too also.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Yeah, we're also down a person due to connection issues&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;As long as everyone is enjoying.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;we can always pause to continue before any combat also. But still got things to figure out also. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria nods, agrees. :3<br /> <br /> &quot;It does sound more likely to be magic,&quot; Silmeria murmurs, brow furrowing. &quot;Master Stirling... You wouldn't happen to have any way of checking for such things, would you? Only, I'm reasonably certain an expert's eye is at need, here.&quot;<br /> <br /> OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Nope its a first level spell for me and I do not have it prepared.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;None, our only mage was inflicted upon the second night of the outbreak... before we had any ideas at what we were looking for. He didn't make it tot he night to disappear, he blew himself and his house up. It drove him mad and he started casting some powerful magic it seems.&quot; The healer nods, &quot;Though we had thought of that by day four or five, why the council met to discuss payment and who we could get from the guild.&quot; <br /> <br /> Korrani shuffles a little and looks to the others, shrugging slightly. &quot;Sorry, I'm not much help in the magic department. But I may be able to help track where the people are going.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling grimaces &quot;I know a few things about magic though I can't think of what could cause this, lets go look at whats left of this mage's place. Perhaps he left some kind of clue, either way sounds like it started with him.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;How about this. we are down quite a few people here. From eight to 3. How about everyone nulls things over. and I'll schedule a part two.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Sure :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;ok&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;with you all heading over to the wizards place or where it used to be actually.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;Sounds good!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling noms. :)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm thinking we are stumbling a little because too few are left.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling goes OOC.<br /> <br /> Stirling has left.<br /> <br /> Long distance to Whirlpool: Vroole nods, &quot;So basically I'll have to continue this one. Was hoping it get alot further quicker. Maybe I should have asked if anyone had any automatic sense magic skills or abilities. LOL<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'because they were right there thinking the right way.'<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: It happens. xD<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: Learning experience!<br /> <br /> Long distance to Whirlpool: Vroole nods, &quot;Naw, simple Detect magic would have had them a lot furhter, but what to do then when they find out.<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'I think I'm going to make it into some decent size ongoing plot dealing with some Driders eventually.'<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Well, I guess I'll see you guys next time to try and solve this mystery :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Thanks for the event, Vroole!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole nods, &quot;Yeah thinking on when I will holidays and all.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;no problem I had fun coming up with this.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;I'm heading out for the holidays tomorrow night, so...I may be available sometime after the holidays. Not sure what other people are doing&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm looking to beginning of december and take it from there. And you mean thanksgiving or both that and Christmas?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;Beginning of December should work, I'll be out of state after the 17th, tho.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;I'm just going for Thanksgiving. Beginning of December will work for me&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Naw thinking end of the following week.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria nodnod.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;avoid that whole black friday and all after it too.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani shudders.<br /> <br /> Long distance to Whirlpool: Vroole slumps, &quot;Thought that was going to be a little easier and faster too though. It is good exp though.&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani has disconnected.<br /> <br /> Whirlpool goes home.<br /> <br /> Whirlpool has left.<br /> <br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;Alright who is all here?<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana raises a hand, though I have leveled since last time<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Kroth says, &quot;Iwas signed up originally as Radek but didnt go on the first part of this.<br /> <br /> From afar, Bennet is here... and not sure how to use any related features...<br /> <br /> Bennet has arrived.<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;All good we need some bodies so its alright.<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;Looking to get this done throw a couple fights out but still under investigation was all. :P<br /> <br /> Kroth has arrived.<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Yrqemm says, &quot;DR/x means that the DR applies ot everythign /except/ whatever X is, right?&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Ssylrath says, &quot;Generaly yes.&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Godwyn says, &quot;Yup&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Yrqemm says, &quot;Thanks.&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Godwyn says, &quot;If it's after the slash, you'll be hit for everything they have to offer in that field.&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Yrqemm says, &quot;Gotcha.&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Yrqemm :)<br /> <br /> <br /> [Public] Vroole says, &quot;Anyone else have an alt not on right now that is in the event?&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Raethon says, &quot;Uh....&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Raethon says, &quot;Do you mean an alt that is not in the event?&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Vroole says, &quot;Well at this point I'm missing quite a few, looking to start asking if anyone wants to join in and finish this up.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Ssylrath says, &quot;Sorry, I'm in Typhoon's scene.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalara pages: I can sign on Belladona if you like<br /> <br /> Belladona pages: Still need another?<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Working to get a couple more people here.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'For sure.'<br /> <br /> Huh? (Type &quot;help&quot; for help.)<br /> <br /> GAME: You invite Belladona to join you. Offer will expire in two minutes.<br /> <br /> Belladona has arrived.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;what level are you Bell?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;4th&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay doesn't change that much but gives another who can fight... cool.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;2 others. Samafia. :D&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole nods, &quot;And companions, included.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet has a gun... it talks sometimes... so, one and a half? ;)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;alright going to start the pose see if more show up... let me get three perception rolls from everyone that will make one part much faster.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (15)+7: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (18)+7: 25<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (19)+7: 26<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls perception: (2)+4: 6<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls perception: (8)+4: 12<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls perception: (16)+4: 20<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (6)+7: 13<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (2)+7: 9<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (10)+7: 17<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (17)+10: 27<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (20)+10: 30<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (19)+10: 29<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;And Samafia?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;In Brightest Day...in Blackest Night...No evil shall escape my sight.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;and give me another perception roll for the 20 you rolled, might add a bonus.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls 1d20+2: (12)+2: 14<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls 1d20+2: (9)+2: 11<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls 1d20+2: (7)+2: 9<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Those are samafia's&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (11)+10: 21<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;alright posing real quick and we'll get on the way.&quot;<br /> <br /> Having already figured out a few facts of the plague/curse or whatever it is that inflicts Derry with its itching malaise. The healer who was watching over the cutup, sedated wife of the innkeeper told you about the wizard of the town having suspected of coming down with it in the first couple days and destroyed his own house with his magic. The heroes are off to investigate the site with the help of the messenger given to them to answer questions and show them around from the City's council. <br /> <br /> Following the messenger to the north side of town and outside the gate itself. The hut or what is left of the burnt, pulverized house lays closer to the farmlands beyond. The Wizard, Drunf Gright by the name one the parchment keeping records of those that had come down with the curse and disappeared on the second night after investigating the two children that had come under the curse the first day. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Ask any questions about what happened before. Basically blacsmith guy is busy smithing to keep the itching away, wife cut herself up bad with a kitchen knife trying to stop the itching. Alll 20+ people so far dissappear the same night they show signs of this itching craze of that previous morning.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;about all we got to so far.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Can I do a healing check to try to help them?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Alright, it might get you some info based on the roll.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls heal: (2)+3: 5<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;They itch... any sort of rash or discoloration before scratching themselves? Itch is everywhere, or only certain parts of the body? Been how long since the two children started?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;we'll say you checked out the wife.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana says, &quot;I could check too?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;No rash, other than damage they do themselves and they complain it is everywhere all over the body.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;and go for it Lyr&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls heal: (17)+14: 31<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona is a battle druid...not a healer.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;And alright, no healing seems to work. Not the mundane one anyway. The healer using magic in the room explains even magic healing all it does is seem to calm them for perhaps an hour.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth has no idea about any healing/magic :)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana says, &quot;does the roll give me an idea what we might be dealing with?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;None whatsoever, doesn't seem to be any physical signs or why the itching is the way it is.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet suspects a sort of Curse. Would like to try Detect Evil at the itching... which I doubt will work, but worth a shot.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Can I detect some magic on it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;later at night before they dissappear is when some walk the street seeming more mechanical when they speak and talk to anyone, then gone by next morning. And its been about 3 weeks since it started.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;go for it the detect magic.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona refreshes spells.<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona casts Detect Magic. Caster Level: 4 DC: -87<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'When you cast Detect Magic, you notice what might be glowing strings around they lips like they are flowing into their mouth nose and ears. Kind fo looks like a spider web tunnel where a spider might rest down inside.'<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I Need to do something real fast so discuss and RP now a little and what you might all do.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona pages: Can I do a knowledge/nature to find out what kind of spider?<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'You can try.'<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls knowledge/nature: (1)+9: 10<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Okay, so three weeks ago, pair of kids started itching, no apparent cause. Wizard took a look, caught the Itch himself, and burned down his own place. Itch has since spread to the rest of the village. People itch uncontrobially, and a after a while towards the evening, they get weird, and disappear into the night. Correct?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;only been two or three each day since then. not the entire town by far yet.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms a little bit as she looks over some of the victems of the Itch and she uses a bit of magic to see if there is something magically causing this. &quot;Well what I can see if they hav some glowing strings around their lips and it's going in and out of their ears and nose and mouth. &quot;It sort of looks like a spider web tunnel, but no spider that I've ever heard of.&quot; She wrinkles her nose a bit.<br /> <br /> Bennet is perhaps a little less cautious in his investigation than he might be. As a servant of The Lady, he enjoys certain protections. But should this be a Curse, and not an illness... well, the gunman isn't utterly reckless. &quot;Whelp, I'm stumped. Don't look like no sickness I ever seen. Reckon our best bet be ta find where them kids first caught the Itch, maybe learn something more on where it came from.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'Nope, would have taken a hurrculean roll to know for sure.'<br /> <br /> Kroth frowns as he listens to the information, then he grunts. &quot;Spider? Yes, I agree we should search for a source, track where the kids first caught this. Why would the mage burn his home though? Perhaps this is a creature and not a curse? A creature fire can hurt.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana has disconnected.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Guess give her a moment.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana has connected.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Or if you want continue to invrestigate.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet is ready to take a look at wherever the kids might have picked something up. Seems the next step to investigate.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Yea, move to wherever they may have caught this&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet rusn AFK to feed cats, shall return<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;back&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;back in a bit myself with a pose.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona has disconnected.<br /> <br /> Belladona has connected.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay sorry back now.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;work called.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay so going to discover where the kids first got the curse or whatever?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;yes&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Sure&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;IS the plan, yes&quot;<br /> <br /> Gunny the cart driver had spoke about his daughter being one of the first two children to be affected. The food before offered for dinner as the sun heads for the horizon and shadows begin to lengthen, was the same house, it seemed vacant almost and going back Gunny still hadn't returned from seeing the Council. The other, a younger boy, the family still grieving, his mother explaining how he didn't want to leave the bathtub, almost drowning himself a few times before later that night both had disappeared. <br /> <br /> Bennet ponders a bit. &quot;Reckon best look around the place. Seems things get interesting at night, may as well look then and hope to find something.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;if that is what everyone thinks is good I'll FF.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth nods, &quot;Yes, we will need to look around at night, perhaps follow if someone wanders off.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Sure&quot;<br /> <br /> It grows towards night, the sun dips down and soon the moon comes into view from the other direction and from over the hills and farmlands. Wandering the streets, there is a cry that soon goes up, investigating, one finds out the blacksmith is gone, tools he had been working, sitting there and a full barrel of horseshoes that has very little cool water left. As well, the healer in the room of the inn keepers wife had been knocked out and the woman was gone as well. The healer being awakened had fallen asleep only to find the woman up and striking the back of his head with part of the bed as a makeshift weapon. <br /> <br /> Kroth frowns, &quot;We must track them, quickly. If they get too far there is no telling if we can find them again.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks, idly double checking his rifle as he looks for some sign of where they may have wandered off to.<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls survival: (6)+3: 9<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls surival: (11)+surival: 11<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls survival: (3)+7: 10<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'I'll give the first roll + seven for 18. since it should have been that. You find some tracks of the direction where both had gone, more towards the center of town and a little north more near the council;s manor direction of things on the hill.'<br /> <br /> Belladona pages: Thanks.<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms as she finds some tracks and she kneels down, &quot;Well I have some tracks over here. More of the head to the center of twn although some go to the north. Isn't there a council's manor over that way?&quot;<br /> <br /> Out and about as the call goes out, some of the more helpful and less afraid city dwellers are out looking as well. <br /> <br /> Kroth helps look around, but really has no tracking skills, though he can see in the dark, for what thats worth.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;What kind of knowledge skills does everyone have?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet know religion, the planes, and guns.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Nature&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;None!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth is a stupid stupid oruch fighter/monk :)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;LOL not at all, but seeing if something might have helped. Bell another Survival roll.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls survival: (6)+7: 13<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Following most of the people and where the tracks lead towards the manor of the council you come to where the street/road rises. Roll perception everyone.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (7)+7: 14<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (15)+7: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (17)+10: 27<br /> <br /> As you all get closer to where the road would begin to rise up to the manner, Bell follows the tracks and right before they seem to vanish, though the high traffic there makes for more confusion so it could have been lost in that. All of you hear something though, like a movement, a patter of feet in damp confines coming from the sewer grate near the edge of the road. This follows with what sounds like something stumbling and grunting a little. <br /> <br /> Kroth moves over near the grate, looking inside to see whats down there...hopefully nothing stabs him in the face while he looks.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;didn't see anything after Kroth.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks. &quot;Sewers... always the way, ain't it?&quot; The Absolution pulls a brass an crystal device from his belt, turning the knob so the crystal starts to glow with a faint yellow light, much like a torch, but without the heat and smoke. Unlikely to burn out, either. He does, however, keep his every burning torch away from ruining Kroth's night vision.<br /> <br /> Belladona wrinkles her nose a bit, &quot;Pretty much when it comes to adventuring.&quot; She says as she leads the way towards the sewers and she narrows her eyes to try to see if she can see anything.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> It is plain to see the woman, the innkeeper's wife, all still bandaged up, moving once more down along the sewer, the light catches its attantion, looking back and she hisses. She doesn't stop though, picking up speed now, moving akwardly with a what appears to be a broken arm and an ankle cocked at a weird angle, bones poking out form the wound, leaving a trail of blood behind her. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bennet focuses upon the woman, unsure if what she is now is like who she was before...<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Detect Evil&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Can we open the grate to the sewer?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Ineed it imminates a rather distinct source of evil. Around her head an aura of evil in fact is where it is concentrated mostly.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;with a little work and a strength roll yes.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;I'll pull the grate&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls strength: (11)+3: 14<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Bleh&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Kroth grabs at the grate, starting to pull and try to rip it out of the ground.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls strength: (10)+4: 14<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;it groans a little but doesn't budge much form the concrete anchors.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;anyone else?&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet is not mighty. Lets the buff guys try, but when raw strength doesn't work, maybe a bit of celver leverage will do...<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls strength: (8)+1: 9<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Or not&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona goes to help Kroth out as she grips a hold of the grate and she yanks on it. &quot;Must be rusted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;both of you together make it crack enough a little wiggling for a few minutes would dislodge the grate.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, and keeps working. &quot;Keep pulling..&quot; He strains for a bit, pulling at the grate and working at it.<br /> <br /> Minutes have passed while you work at the grate and finally get it loose, there is plenty of space for everyone to get through and their equipment, but the woman is well gone, only leaving the small drops of blood to show which direction she has gone. North it seems though soon enough with the twists and turns that if one hurries one might get lost, but if not one might not catch up to the woman. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;unless someone has a way of qickly memorizing every which way you go in?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;remind me to take knowledge sewers or something. LOL&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet follows the trail as best he can. Getting out again is a problem for later. &quot;Possession of some sort, I reckon. Something bad. Don't worry 'bout hurting them possessed, don't reckon is much of them left.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona goes to help get the grate off finally and she looks around. &quot;It might be those spider things that are inside of her.&quot; She suggests as she starts to lightly scratch on the wall with her knife to indicate the direction back out.<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, &quot;We must hurry, a simple villager is weak and can hardly resist evils such as this.&quot; He moves along, using his darkvision to see further ahead than the light would allow.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay who is taking front, back middle and such, what order?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;I'll take front with Samafia&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;The sewer is a decent size, two two foot paths to either side, stinks fo course, but the water int he middle at this point is maybe three foot deep and barely a current.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;I can take the rear, watch for stuff behind us. Or front, either way.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;so Bennet in the middle then. Kroth the back bell in front. PRobably the best way to do things too. for what is coming up.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet nods, is fine with that order<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Can I throw barkskin on Samafia?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;sure can.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona casts Barkskin. Caster Level: 4 DC: 15<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;how long does it last?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;40 minutes&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay plenty of time.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;RP while I write the pose a little.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet isn't fond of enclosed spaces, espically ones that stink of sewage. But the Absolution carries one quietly, now and again checking his weapon to assure himsefl all is in working order. A misfire is never a good thing, and even less so in the middle of combat.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;or prepare anything that nyou might think you need to prepare. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona leads the way as ashe can see in the dark with Samafia by her side. She has her shield up and ready along with her claws.<br /> <br /> Kroth takes up the rear guard, looking back now and then to make sure nothing sneaks up on them while they are down here.<br /> <br /> As the party moves along the walkway, anyone stepping int the water won't like the smell that sticks with them for awhile after, but it isn't all that slippery. The weather has been fairly good, cold perhaps, but not too much rain lately. The soft whisper of feet and the current passes down the paths as they follow the blood. After a few turns, webbing begins to appear, in small patches, then in greater amounts the further one goes. <br /> <br /> It starts becoming more and more evident that indeed the suspicion of spiders might be the reason fro what is happening as there is far more webbing then can be accounted for being a dark place like this and the ever increasing amount as they follow the blood trail dripping here and there. Soon it stops though, as if something might have realized the trail it was leaving, bloody webs nearby. Samafia begins to growl a little, hair rising, something doesn't seem right to the animal, something is off. (OOC Roll Perception Bell and Kroth or can you communicate with your companion Bell) <br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (16)+7: 23<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Anyone having detect traps?&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (19)+10: 29<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Anything to do with traps since that roll was high enough for the next part anyway?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Just verbal communication.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;one way you to the animal right?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Yep&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> When Samafia growls it is looking at a certain point, Kroth and Belladonna both catching the cleverly concealed trigger to something, most likely a trap, covered in cobwebs to disguise it like other rocks along the path. Bell also notes the concentration of webs over head right where the stone is, bulging a little downward, the slight impression of something large and squarish made in it. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, &quot;This is strange, what sort of spider sets up a trap? There is something at work here, more than a spider.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;So what you doing? how will you pass it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Can we pass it without setting it off?&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Also, how would a crazed wounded woman get past this trap, and the webbing...&quot; Kroth adds.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bennet shrugs. &quot;Cross to the other side?

Anyone else shows up I'll page it to them.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia nods<br /> <br /> Since arriving in the late afternoon, the adventurers have discovered that a malady of not a curse, but some outside force is taking over people. The signs of intense itching like something crawling around in their body was most likely some spider of some kind. The keys to this are the spectral webs around the ears, mouth and nose, almost like a funnel spiders in nature, waiting inside by the use of Detect magic. The innkeeper's wife and blacksmith have both wound up disappearing by nightfall and tracking them the wife was discovered int he sewers, clearly not herself, more like a robot being controlled, ankle and arm broken she didn't seemed phased, only hissed. By the time they got the sewer grate off she was gone. A blood trail was found from the broken ankle and it lead deeper into the sewers to the north of town with ever increasing amounts of spider webs. They were held up when the blood trail ended and a trap was discovered and there they were stopped for the moment. One at least rock depression on the ground was discovered and above a bulging web, like something heavy was being held in it and in a depression carved out of the roof of the sewer itself. <br /> <br /> There they sit and while they were figuring what to do other adventurer notified of the sewer escape have show up in time to help them out. The sewer itself is rather large with a two brick and stone walkways on either side, easily traversed by most people, the water, stinking in between is slow and lazy as it heads out towards the waterway to the north side of town. So the trap is there and everyone waits to see what those there and newly arrived might do. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;So that is basically it and were we are at for now. Some form of Spider or spiders at at the bas trouble it seems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Now that we have other people, anyone that knows how to deal with traps and such?&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks mildly, holding aloft his room tempature Everyburning Torch, which does nothing particular to the webs. &quot;...times like this sorta wish had an old-fashion flame. Got a flint and bit of tinder, but reckon is damp enough may take a while to make a spark. Iffen any of ya'll got ideas, I'm listening.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet says, &quot;*Everburning Torch&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;...May I be present as additional back having been called in?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Just trying to figure out why I'm here if it's in the middle of things.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole nods, &quot;Why I added that part about all the others showing up. Indeed you are there.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms a little bit, &quot;Well normally I prepare produce flame, but recently I had need of some mists instead so I switched it out. I do carry flint and steel with me to help start a fire when needed.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling attaches a tank to his large gleaming chrome gauntlet. &quot;If it gets thick we will burn our way through, I prepared some fuel for my flamethrower but it won't last long.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana does step back a bit, &quot;Well if you are going to do that we should probably move back a bit.&quot;<br /> <br /> Approaching in titan armor, Zenia looks about and whistles. &quot;Dang.&quot; she says, &quot;This is a HUGE infestation, how'd it get this big?&quot; she asks, then holds up her deathray as the chamber rolls from a glowing blue to a glowing orange. &quot;Yeah, if we need fire I've got plenty of power in the ray. Or we could try other things, anyone tried talking to these spidery things? I mean they're... PROBABLY not mindless unless we're dealing with some kind of servitor race to a greater amoral or immoral creature.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;They're evil.&quot; Which is all Bennet thinks needs said on that matter.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Guessing no person with Disable Device here?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia has it!<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Artificer. :3&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shrugs &quot;Dont want to waste fuel if I dont need to, lets just press on and squish em'&quot; he shoulders through some of the webs, pulling them down with his gauntlets if in the way.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole reminds everyone of the trap that currently has the group stalled for the moment. :P<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Ah missed that.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;The webs?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Oh&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia will try for a disable device check then<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Roll it.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls Disable Device: (2)+9: 11<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Least it wasn't a 1!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;I think those mean, 'Terribad results'&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;yeah that would have been worse... Lets see. I imagine everyone else was hanging back far enough? :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Roll I mean.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Give me a Reflex roll.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls Reflex: (13)+6: 19<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay I'll pose what happened it missed you.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;You can pose trying to disable it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona moves back to let the artificer try to disable the trap. &quot;Well if the trap goes off maybe it will trap the spiders in there.&quot;<br /> <br /> Clink! KA-CHUNK! Clank. It seems that Zenia is trying to remove the trap then glances back in a distracted manner momentarily as she says, &quot;We've got no idea what they're after though, can't really stop them per se unless we have a good idea of that.&quot;<br /> <br /> As Zenia tried to disable the trap, something clicks and the raised rock lowers, it is enough of a warning that Zenia is able to toss herself back a mere few inches less and the giant square stone block might have caught her foot or more indeed if she hadn't responded so quickly. The stone hits the ground hard, several feet across and several feet up, enough to make something very squashed or several if it hadn't been seen, but not high enough to block off the sewer either. The webbing above that held the stone is ripped, like it was design to give as a sharp blade parted it along the bottom to let the stone drop.

Pulling a small screwdriver from his pocket, the Absolution fiddles for a bit.... only to have the tool slip form his fingers and disappear into the muck. A few phrases follow that with a bit of effort could likely be weaponized themselves. But, he does manage to shove a fresh crystal into place, and snap the hatch closed again. It's not a pretty fix, but it'll do.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;roll it&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Aevarr rolls ranged: (12)+6: 18<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;that is a hit. most likely dead. rolld damage&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Aevarr rolls 1d8+3: (4)+3: 7<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Pose taking it out and we will go out of timestop and try to get things up to speed to the final confrontation.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;its dead for sure. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole removes the timestop.<br /> <br /> Timestop by Vroole has left.<br /> <br /> GAME: You remove the timestop.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;pose the afternmath and I guess fixing your gun Bennet?&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr does not have any spider venom handy (that is to say, venom that kills spiders). Instead, he nocks and looses an arrow into one of the AoUSes. It punctures carapace and causes all eight legs to curl up as it falls.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The remains of the burnt and smashed up, goey remains of the spiders rests before the party, the way clear now and nothing else can be heard for the moment. The block now that things are secure is easy t get over and there is only one way to go down the Sewer as it leads more towards the edge of town and the lake there. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;alrigth pse what you are and then we'll FF a little.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;all roll me a perception check.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (1)+10: 11 (EPIC FAIL)<br /> <br /> Lyrana looks around a bit, &quot;Did anyone get hurt?&quot; she asks as she does.<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (3)+7: 10<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls perception: (20)+4: 24<br /> <br /> GAME: Stirling rolls perception: (16)+8: 24<br /> <br /> GAME: Aevarr rolls perception: (6)+10: 16<br /> <br /> Belladona shakes her head, &quot;I don't think so.&quot; She moves forward into the sewer and she has to help Samafa up over the boulder. She walks along and has her shield and claws ready.<br /> <br /> Bennet sighs, and slowly takes apart the mechanisims once more, before putting tham all carefully back into proper alignment. Not only will the weapon work, but it will keep doing so for a while... in theory. &quot;Only hurt my pride.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling tries to light his cigar in the damp, trying several times to get it started before it takes &quot;Nothing that cant be fixed by crushing a few more critters.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay anytime everyone is ready to move forward when poses are done.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia nods<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The path continues to grow with the amount of webs everywhere, over walls and floor, the paths becoming more treacherous to walk on, though they aren't strong enough to,hold anyone down, they could hamper movement in combat if it were to happen. The only clear part of the sewer is the water that flows along lazily, along with other things that float in it and the ever present smell of things people might put down a toilet from above. First Lyrana and Stirling hear something, like what one might wonder what a spider speaking sounds like. (OOC both of you pose first then Aevarr can pose, back to free pose after while they are hearing that. Seems there is something else ahead now also and it sounds intelligent rather more than anything else the spiders before spit out, like ti was barking commands, Then decide order of how you will move in and give me another perception roll everyone and where you are, walking on webs or mucking through water in what order and who is in front and such)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;well meant to hit enter after a few more poses.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole :P<br /> <br /> Belladona tries to ignore the smell as best ashe can as she uses her sharp claws to cut through the waves that get in the way. She hears something ahead and it sounds very intelligent.

Lets burn through it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms as she tries to be sneaky, but she's not as good at it as Samafa is who's naturally sneaky being a lioness. She does have pretty good sense of hearing and she nods to Stirling, &quot;Yes it looks like there is a trap up ahead.&quot; She nods as she and Samafa hold up to let to those that can burn go ahead of them.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;might suggest pointing them out. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana is trying to be sneaky, but doesn't really succeed, after all war golem in armor and all that, she trudges through the water, splash splash, clang. She blinks, &quot;Know we are here.&quot; she murmers.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Zenia, looks like it will take two more fire shots to clear the trap triggers made of webs one to each side of the sewer. Roll twice and unless you get ones it only takes two shots, and I'll pose what happens.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;so you are keeping track of how many you use... Probably have around 14-16 total I would imagine a day?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;I was planning to use Burning Hands since deathray shots are limited.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;ahh go for that then.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;that works too.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Stirling casts Burning Hands.

It allows the party to move forward to an opening the sounds came from on the right. Into the a large room, 40 across and 40 feet in width. A drainage basin room one might find for when the sewer overflows. The spider webs are even thicker here and along the sides several body size web cocoons are there, they aren't moving and two are partially done it seems over a large male, the blacksmith and another the wife of the inn keeper. A ten foot path rings a pit in the middle, across from them sits a human size blue humanoid figure with a face of a spider and sickle like arms. It is looking at them pointing at them as two more giant spiders work from either side of the room and one above climbing along the ceiling on the webs. Several other smaller spiders can be seen, not looking to get confrontational as they are maybe a finger nail in width and seem to be crawling over the newly acquired food in the two humans being wrapped up.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ATTENTION -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Vroole has dropped a TIMESTOP!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Please +init, then cease all roleplay and actions immediately and wait for Vroole to instruct you further.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> For additional in-combat commands, please type: +thelp.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;roll your init.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls initiative: Roll: 2 + Bonus: 3 = Total: 5<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls initiative: Roll: 20 + Bonus: 2 = Total: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: You roll initiative for Stirling: Roll: 10 + Bonus: +3 = Total: 13<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;i'll fix you stirling.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Ah oops!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;easy fix.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole advances the initiative order.<br /> <br /> Round One - Init 22.<br /> <br /> It is now Lyrana's turn!

She points to the other giant spider, &quot;Samafa attack!&quot; She calls out as she grips her claws and rushes down as well. Samafa dodges the clumsy attempt by the spider to bite her when she ges close. The lioness leaps up to bite down into the spider's abdomen and Belladona charges down and her claws cut deep into the spider's head to kill it. She pants softly as she moves away from the spider's corpse and Samafa moves next to her.<br /> <br /> -=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-&lt;* Roleplay Room Two *&gt;--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> These rooms are for player-run plots, although plots may also be run ongrid any time and at any location.

Getting late and wrapping it up.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Bang bang a spider.... er...

I'll write a wrap up.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;and answer questions.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet shudders a little, patting himself a moment to be sure there's no live spiders left on him... and focuses again, taking aim at the remaining spider and lauching another flaming lead ball. It doesn't take much to blow the rest of the bug apart, leaving a small burning hole where it had been.<br /> <br /> Lyrana moves around, &quot;Does anyone need healing?&quot; she asks and then does move to check the blacksmith and innkeeper's wife.<br /> <br /> Belladona shakes her head, &quot;no I'm all right.&quot; She says as she startsto go to cut out the victems as Samafa starts to pound and tear at the smaller spiders.<br /> <br /> Stirling shrinks down to regular size and stretched his arms &quot;Well thats a good bit of fun, wasn't it?&quot; he says with a grin to Bennett.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Twirling a small disc on a leather strap, Zenia nods as well. &quot;Yeah, I can do that too actually.&quot; then looks at those in the webs and pauses, before realizing that there are -people- in there. &quot;OH CRAP!&quot; she says, rushing over towards them and helping to tear the webs with her armor. &quot;Hey, are you two OK?&quot; she asked, looking somewhat panicked.<br /> <br /> Bennet blehs, moving to check on the ones trapped. &quot;Could have done without them crawling on me...&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;You'll find them quite dead... unable to be healed. The spiderlings had eaten away most of the brain's motor control to use them like a big bag of flesh to brign down for eating.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Mostly only dangerous to those that were alseep when they invaded their brains... Course taking a day to eat their way in and setup till the next night and then taking them for food.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Yummy&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet ews... &quot;So... all in favor of burning this place and every brain-eating spider in it?&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Yep.&quot; Zenia says, &quot;Provided it doesn't... Y'know, actually blow up the town above. Don't want that happening.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana nods her head, &quot;Sounds good to me, or at least ordering an extermination team to come down and do it.&quot; she shakes her head a bit.<br /> <br /> <br /> After the Ettercap was killed the spiders it had controlled were not much of a problem, not that the Ettercap was either it seems as the group had smacked it around pretty quick, which was probably a good thing. The people that had been taken are all found to be dead, most with enlarged holes at ear, mouth or nose, like something had burst outward after they were being strung up and preserved. None have survived the trauma the little control spiders had had on them, a good portion of the motor control part of the brain having been eaten out and the husks taken over like zombies almost to bring back for food for the spiders and the Ettercap to feast on. Horse's daughter is nothing but a skinned bag of bones, hollow and quite not a pretty sight after almost three weeks having been drained. As most others that fat back. The wizard not having been found would later be found and discovered to have gotten into a fight with a few other spiders and having a fear of such blew his whole house up with himself inside. <br /> <br /> The people of Derry are happy, even if sad as well that their loved ones could not be returned to them, the drainage room being closed, bricked up after being burned with all the webs in the sewers with it. It will never be used again or allowed to be used as a lair for such foul creatures. It was best left to memory and letting it be buried away, or so most of Derry had agreed upon.</div>

He smiles and tips his hat, &quot;Well don't this beat all. A much pleasant sight to see all these fine young folk so willing to help old Derry out.&quot; He seems in a pretty good mood and waves them on over to the cart, &quot;Nothing is enough for all you grand folk. A ride if you need it, we have a decent leg of a trip to be getting to and the more time we waste here the more Derry falls under the curse its found itself in.&quot; <br /> <br /> He turns and hops up into the driver seat, only then does the grey image of someone cloaked in the mists move, a old blunderbuss style type gun in his grasp, and leans it over his shoulder. This one doesn't look so happy in his weather beaten hat and the first calms all of the Adventures, &quot;Don't mind old Gunny there. He don't like strangers. You can call me Horse. Parents always knew I'd be a cart man, but they decided Carter was to common a name for such, besides every lady knows I'm hung like a...&quot; Gunny shoulders the man, he was getting to personal and the grumpy one grunts to warn him, &quot;Excuse me, living' on the road I suppose one doesn't require manners all that much? So, how about we get some names while we get this party movin'?&quot; A vert talkative one tot seems and even as those riding in the wagon get on, he snaps the reigns and they are off, seems talking on the way might be the way to go about it. Several large furs are also in the wagon, seems that everyone is going to be expected to sleep in the wagon perhaps till the reach Derry on the next afternoon. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;As an aside, can I get healed fully?&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana cocks her head to the side as she listens, &quot;I do not understand the reference, Hung like a? Are you talking about hanging from a tree or something?&quot; the war golem asks as she looks at the guy. &quot;Oh, I forget myself, I am Lyrana of the Temple of Daeus.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;you know I should learn how to do that stuff, unless Whirl there does it, not sure how that works.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;What's up?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Which stuff? :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Oh, damaging.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;cIt's prett&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;It's easy. :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;the healing and all that.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Whirlpool damaged you for -100 points. 16 remaining.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;There. :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;so you do take care of that then as we go. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Silmeria,&quot; a blond in a breastplate and black velvet dress answers, cheeks practically glowing at the nearly-completed comparison. &quot;Temple of Vardama... May I ask, um... what's been ''happening'' out in Derry? Only I'd heard the rumors, but...&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling follows along on his own horse scruffy black warhorse, enormous black deathray seated across the saddle in front of him. Between that and his enormous chrome gauntlets there can be little doubt what the artifice intends to do. He does offers the farmer a friendly nod and grunt but little else in the way of idle chatter.<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'Also does anyone in this group have any like auto detect magics of any kind?'<br /> <br /> Korrani unloads her pack for the long ride and settles down in a small puddle of furs, sitting on the floor of the cart. She leans her back against the 'driver side' of the cart and draws one knee up to rest an arm on it. She tips her hooded head to Lyrana. &quot;Best you not ask for the rest of that sentence. Korrani Penfast. Adventurer for hire.&quot;<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: You can aks them as DM. :)<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: But no. :)<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'Didn't want to give some info out, so they go hey why did he ask about detect magic and use something because I let the cat out of the bag.'<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: Understandable. :)<br /> <br /> Indeed Horse was going to answer the woman since she asked, but it seems Korrani had gotten the idea and for the moment he lets it be, &quot;PEople have been disappearing... Actin' strange, says their skin itches, scratchin and rippin their clothes over a day. Next mornin they are gone, some say they see em get up and wandering the streets. Tried followin them, many have, but they always dissapear before the mornin.&quot; Gunny jsut snorts and grunts in acknowledgment, seems the one calling shotgun doesn't have many words. Almost the perfect pair it seems if you wanted to put too extremes of conversationilst together. <br /> <br /> Lyrana looks at Korrani, &quot;Why would I not ask for the rest? I already did.&quot; she shakes her head, &quot;Still don't fully understand organics at times.&quot; she says and shakes her head again. She nods herhead, &quot;Alive or dead or just seem like it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; BeagleHugs o.o<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;We've discovered a problem. xD&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Just a help file issue. :) CArry on.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;(Sorry for the spam, guys. XD)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; BeagleHugs says, &quot;Fixed!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;The +prhelp command here was borked. :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Vroole, there you go. ALl the info you need.&quot;<br /> <br /> The cart bounces along the uneven cart path towards the east, Horse very happy to tell what he knows, &quot;They seem alright, perhaps not themselves either. Anyone tryin to talk to them only get. A hello, and out for a walk, somethin like that, but never why they are up, or where all of them have been goin. Lost around twenty folk so far, another five at least or maybe a few more by the time we get there tomorrow.&quot; Horse sighs a little and shakes his head, &quot;Lost me own we littin also, one of the first to vanish. I hopin she is alright and you all can find her.&quot; Sadness creeps into the little old man... <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;cool&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We will,&quot; Silmeria says, &quot;do everything in our power to get them back, Master Horse, Master Gunny.&quot; Settling back in the cart, she goes about the preparations to see that she can accomplish exactly that; checking the action of her crossbow, the edge of her sword, and the fit of her armor as the cart bounces along its way toward the town.<br /> <br /> &quot;Mind Control? What about the itchiness and scratching themselves until they rip their clothes?&quot; Korrani asks, unfamiliar with the workings of magic or mind control.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;let me know if anyone has anymore questions or not and we can FF.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Is there any rhyme or reason with who disappears? Anything in common?&quot; Korrani asks. &quot;What they did, where they went, what they ate...?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana says, &quot;all good to ff here&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Good to go.&quot;<br /> <br /> Horse nods a bit and looks back, a little teary in his eyes, &quot;Thank you. I was very happy the council decided to put up the money to hire you all.&quot; He then shakes his head to Korrani's question, &quot;Nothin we hadn't been eatin' all the time. Our own growin' from the fields. Or from animals we have always raised. Perhaps if there is someone that is bein' cursed you will see. Very few days these last week there hasn't been one or two.&quot; <br /> <br /> The cart keeps moving all night long and well into the next day, the sun dipping towards the horizon before the town of Derry comes into view when the wagon rolls over one of the larger hills. The countryside had gradually changed from woods to farms and fields since the mid days meal when the sun was high and Horse seems to be tired, but he also seems determined to get all of you there before another day passes. &quot;There be Derry...&quot; Horse says it with such pride and comfort that they are finally going to be there, the clomp of hooves on the dirt, a person passing by now and again, giving greeting those up front and then those riding behind. None seem to ill affected and most look like they are farmers and would probably not live int he town proper. Smoke begins to curl up from the houses surrounded by an eight foot wall that encircles Derry proper and all the shops, inns and other main businesses of the town, including those that are a little better off when it comes to coins in their purses. The smell of dinner is in the air, all sorts of meet like spices and the roasting of vegetables and the boiled tint of stews and soups being cooked over the hearths. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'll wait for a pose or two from everyone here then pose again.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling grumbles from his saddle &quot;Bit rustic ain't it? Anyhow lets make with the standard Arvek Nar mental recalibration and get a piece of whatevers cooking. Be a shame to leave here on an empty stomach.&quot; he notes with a grin.<br /> <br /> Aevarr says, &quot;As cozy as this is,&quot; Aevarr pipes up, &quot;are we certain we wish to travel to a town of strange itching and people running off into the night? It rather makes my skin crawl. Remind me of nightmare tales concerning a brothel or three... heard third-hand, of course...&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Aevarr makes that an @emit.<br /> <br /> Korrani scoots a little to put some distance between her and Aevarr at this talk of brothel itch. &quot;You should've thought of that before accepting the guild ticket on this one. Too late to go back now,&quot; Korrani grins tuskily.<br /> <br /> &quot;Not that we'd return even if we had the choice,&quot; Silmeria notes, looking up from her sword. &quot;Good people need help, after all...&quot; A small, sad smile passes over her face as they pass the walls, the blnd drawing in a slow, deep breath. &quot;It's a lovely town, Master Horse, Master Gunny... don't you worry, we'll set things right as well as we can.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana stretches as she gets out of the cart now that they have arrived. She glances around and then nods her head a it, &quot;Well we should get to it, so we can find and then complete the task, helping this village.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana refreshes spells.<br /> <br /> GAME: Silmeria refreshes spells.<br /> tirling dismounts as well, slinging the enormous firearm across his back &quot;Right, let slap some sense into these people and get some dinner. I am famished.&quot; he says flexing his chrome gauntlets, seems he means it too.<br /> <br /> &quot;I'll let the council know you have arrived.&quot; Horse nods to them all, &quot;Gunny here will show you to the house where the first time it happened. You are welcome to eat anythin' as I was told food will be waitin' for you, I don't go home myself anymore, but I'll send word with who is afflicted once I know who is. I will be quick adventurers.&quot; With that Horse runs off to the biggest house or building in the middle of town and Gunny shows you to Horses house. Even now a few of the women and men of the town are setting up the table with all sorts of different foods for different tastes and palletes. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;if you want to discuss a preplan, now is good while I get the next pose in order with more info.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, let's get started slapping people about. I'm sure that will make them much more talkative...&quot; Aevarr chuckles dryly as he disembarks and happily stretches his legs. He then looks to the others. &quot;Jests and brothels aside, does anyone have the slightest thought of what could be the cause of this?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I think we'll know more if we can see any afflicted,&quot; Silmeria says, sheathing her sword and running a hand through her hair. &quot;I'm tempted to call it some sort of pestilence for the moment... but, I'm no trained healer.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shrugs &quot;Right, we dunno what could be doing it, really hard to tell until we see folks? With any luck its some upstart wizard messing around with magics beyond him and he just needs to be put in his place.&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani grunts as she gets up from the cart and picks up her pack, then hops off the cart lightly. She places her hands on her lower back and stretches her spine. &quot;That was some journey,&quot; she sighs. She glances at the setting up of food. &quot;Don't know if I want to eat anything here until we have some idea of what could be the cause...&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr considers the food, then considers it much less. &quot;She makes a strong point for rations, in this case.&quot; Instead, he starts looking for Horse, their handy handholder into the haggard history of happenings in this hapless hamlet.<br /> <br /> Silmeria approaches the table despite the complaints of the others, smiling gently and offerng her thanks for sharing what they have. &quot;I know these are hard times,&quot; she says of one of the villagers, and I know the questions are harder still... but... was there anything... anything at all, really... that the people had in common who fell to this sickness? Other than living here, of course.&quot;<br /> <br /> Horse doesn't return, but a messenger does carrying a scroll, just a plain ordinary scroll with writing, more like a record of names, ages and dates of who has been afflicted and disappeared. Twenty three names show previous dates and the fact they are missing, two currently are noted as that day having complained of being itchy and should be watched. The Garden Lock, an inn, his wife in her thirties, another the Blacksmith himself. &quot;If you need the council let me know I'll be waiting outside.&quot; Perhaps the records might help answer some questions, maybe not, but clearly there are two people that can be checked out as well. <br /> <br /> Stirling nods to the comment about the food &quot;Right, good thinking keeping to our own. Shall we be on our way then? Find out whats going on here.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;Anyone else?&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani walks over to look at the list. &quot;Hmm. Perhaps we should talk to the infected first? See if we can have them restrained to prevent them from walking off?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Anyone else or we lose some people?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria is posing.<br /> <br /> Stirling nods to Korrani &quot;Sounds like a plan. Whose first on the list?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling is good to go.<br /> <br /> &quot;Probably for the best,&quot; Silmeria says, &quot;though perhaps it might not be quite so wise to talk of restraint when we don't know if they've been, or need it just yet?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;So what's the plan?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani is good to go, too.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Check out the afflicted.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr nods in agreement. &quot;So long as we don't need to talk to them too closely...&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Which first, the blacksmith or the inn keeper's wife?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;The ...uh...Blacksmith?&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani wrap her hooded scarf around her neck a few more times, then tucks it in at certain places to allow it to cover her nose and mouth as an impromptu protective mask.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria nod, blacksmith sounds like a plan.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Kitten isn't being very cooperative either, many keys are being pressed. and alright&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I miss anything since my pose?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Nope&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shoulders into the workshop with his deathray across his shoulder. &quot;Hilderman is it? Put the hammer down and lets have a word.&quot; the large hobgoblin does not seem to leave any room for argument.<br /> <br /> Silmeria follows Stirling into the workshop, lips pursing at the artificer's tone. Slipping to one side by the door, she stands, silent for the moment to see how the blacksmith reacts.<br /> <br /> The Blacksmith shakes his head, &quot;Can't be doing that... work, it keeps the itching at bay. The heat... I don't want to itch, don't want to tear me flesh off to make it stop.&quot; Brock looks to them, his motions never faltering even as he speaks to them, &quot;Won't go to sleep... Need to stay awake and not itch.&quot; He shakes a little, shivering as if he is resisting, even as he stops for a moment only, &quot;Don't take away my work...&quot; The hammer begins to swing again and again like, one thing is obvious the man was very skilled as the metal easily began to shape itself, bending and then the hiss of heated metal and another piece of metal is grabbed form the fire to be shaped into a horseshoe, the water in the barrel spills over, even as it begins to settle once more level with the top and the mass of the shoe displaced inside. How many things were inside that barrel? <br /> <br /> Korrani walks in with the others, looking around the blacksmithy as Stirling grabs Brock's attention. &quot;We won't take away your work. We're from Alexandria to investigate the mystery illness that's affecting Derry. Can you tell us anything about what you were doing before started showing symptoms?&quot; she asks.<br /> <br /> &quot;Please,&quot; Silmeria says from her place by the door. &quot;It's very important, Master Hilderman... If we can learn how the itching started, we might be able to learn how to stop it.&quot;<br /> <br /> The blacksmith nods, &quot;Woke up that way, at first it was only a tingle. like a foot that had almost gone to sleep. It kept getting worse, its almost unbearable even now. I can't concentrate, getting tired, my mind is fuzzy. Work still helps, the heat as if it sears the nerves, to soothe the itch. But its not working as well now... You are the adventurer's the council paid for? Even if I disappear like the rest, you have to find out what is doing this. No one else can go through this... Its pure hell, like I'm loosing myself ever so much, little by little.&quot; <br /> <br /> Stirling starts to look around the shop, looking at tools and the workshop for anything out of place or anything he would like in his own workshop. &quot;Had any healer look at you yet?&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Autumn says, &quot;Yikes: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2014/11/texas-approves-textbooks-with-moses-as-founding-father/&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Cesran says, &quot;Well it's texas.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Autumn says, &quot;Yup, but still.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;And this is why I hate organized religion. Does it have its perks? Yes. But then shit like this happens.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Cesran says, &quot;Failed to ever see the benefits of organized religion.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;Supports various charitable works, builds up the communities they serve, instills a sense of purpose and stability for those that need them.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;But the problems come when it turns to fanaticism and zeal, like... well Autumn, you showed us right there what happens.&quot;<br /> <br /> The blacksmith seems to get frustrated, losing concentration on the work he is doing seems to agitate him more, &quot;Healers don't know a thing... haven't figured out anything after a month. They go mad you see, and yet all becomes calm... I want the calm almost, its getting harder to fight it, to think, to even care.&quot; The messenger speaks briefly letting them know that the blacksmith has been the first to fight off not ripping his clothing off, though he is already half undressed, no shirt on as he works, only heavy work pants and a leather apron hanging down. He mentions the inn keepers wife isn't so well off and had to be restrained or she would have peeled her own flesh form her body, or it seemed like they might try to. They only let the blacksmith work because he is fighting it so well, waiting to see if he succumbs as well during the night. Indeed you may have noticed townspeople watching very closely the blacksmith and the inn a short way down the road. <br /> <br /> [Public] Cesran says, &quot;Yah, but you can do all that without God.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;And that's the other point. XD&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Cesran says, &quot;Anyway...next topic before the staff bops us.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr has disconnected.<br /> <br /> &quot;Thank you,&quot; Silmeria murmurs, loosing a quiet sigh. &quot;Very well, Master Hilderman... We'll do whatever we can to stop this, no matter what. Perhaps we should see to the inkeeper's wife, now?&quot; she asks of her fellows.<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;Next topic!&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;It's almost time for the finale of Benthus' murder mystery &lt;3&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;I'm gonna enjoy that XD&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Cesran whispers, 'It was Major Muffin in the latrine...with the flyswatter.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Kroth says, &quot;IS this the pond mystery?&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;I wish. XD&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Kroth says, &quot;Or the immortal gangster?&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Kroth says, &quot;That tried to drown us&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani looks to Silmeria, then back to Hilderman. Then she nods in agreement with Silmeria. &quot;Yes, let's go talk to her next.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Kroth says, &quot;Well, drown my alt.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;It's that one.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Kroth says, &quot;Ahh&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;There's been another attack on the Temple District&quot;<br /> <br /> As you decide to go see the innkeeper's wife, the messenger shows you in and up the stairs to their private rooms. In the bed, sedated by a healer hanging nearby, strapped down in case she awakens. The sheets she is under are tinged here and there with dark maroon stains, the healer warning you right away you might not want to look, &quot;She tried to take her skin off with a knife. And even then she struggled and clawed at the wounds, like she couldn't get something out of her. I have no idea what is happening, I can't find anything that inside, any illness, no healing spells have been able to help anyone yet.&quot; The innkeeper looks on, worried, concerned, even as the woman seems to be sleeping very peacefully at the moment. &quot;Powerful drugs are the only thing that has kept her laying there... Enough for a full grown horse.&quot; <br /> <br /> [Public] Kroth says, &quot;Its showing its 3 hours late&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;And apparently whoever executed it did so as a distraction. The result? No kids in the orphanage. Someone's definitely going to pay for this, and Godwyn is especially eager to deliver justice.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Kroth says, &quot;Is that tommorow then?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;trying to pick things up a little more quickly... since its getting late.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana has disconnected.<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;No, impromptu attack, happened a few hours ago.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It too that much to put her at ease?&quot; Korrani asks in surprise. &quot;Did she say anything of significance before she was drugged?&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;No link to the case... yet. But Godwyn believes it was too well-executed and well-timed.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Anyone got detect magic or something like that?&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling scratches his chin and furrows his brow &quot;So none of the healers know whats going on? Perhaps its something around the house? Some kind of curse?&quot; he suggests looking at the others.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Vroole, don't feel ba if you have to schedule a part two.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Whirlpool says, &quot;Especially since it's your first time. These things sometimes take a while!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm not too worried about doing that if I have too also.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Yeah, we're also down a person due to connection issues&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;As long as everyone is enjoying.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;we can always pause to continue before any combat also. But still got things to figure out also. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria nods, agrees. :3<br /> <br /> &quot;It does sound more likely to be magic,&quot; Silmeria murmurs, brow furrowing. &quot;Master Stirling... You wouldn't happen to have any way of checking for such things, would you? Only, I'm reasonably certain an expert's eye is at need, here.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;Anyways, it appears my time is up for the evening.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shakes his head &quot;Nah didn't take a scanner with me. Pitty that is. Any magic users in town?&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Peacemaker Godwyn says, &quot;I will see you all tomorrow!&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Vroole says, &quot;Night&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Nope its a first level spell for me and I do not have it prepared.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;None, our only mage was inflicted upon the second night of the outbreak... before we had any ideas at what we were looking for. He didn't make it tot he night to disappear, he blew himself and his house up. It drove him mad and he started casting some powerful magic it seems.&quot; The healer nods, &quot;Though we had thought of that by day four or five, why the council met to discuss payment and who we could get from the guild.&quot; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Korrani shuffles a little and looks to the others, shrugging slightly. &quot;Sorry, I'm not much help in the magic department. But I may be able to help track where the people are going.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Hafu has joined this channel.<br /> <br /> Stirling grimaces &quot;I know a few things about magic though I can't think of what could cause this, lets go look at whats left of this mage's place. Perhaps he left some kind of clue, either way sounds like it started with him.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;How about this. we are down quite a few people here. From eight to 3. How about everyone nulls things over. and I'll schedule a part two.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Sure :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;ok&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;with you all heading over to the wizards place or where it used to be actually.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;Sounds good!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling noms. :)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm thinking we are stumbling a little because too few are left.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling goes OOC.<br /> <br /> Stirling has left.<br /> <br /> Long distance to Whirlpool: Vroole nods, &quot;So basically I'll have to continue this one. Was hoping it get alot further quicker. Maybe I should have asked if anyone had any automatic sense magic skills or abilities. LOL<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'because they were right there thinking the right way.'<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: It happens. xD<br /> <br /> Whirlpool pages: Learning experience!<br /> <br /> Long distance to Whirlpool: Vroole nods, &quot;Naw, simple Detect magic would have had them a lot furhter, but what to do then when they find out.<br /> <br /> You paged Whirlpool with 'I think I'm going to make it into some decent size ongoing plot dealing with some Driders eventually.'<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Well, I guess I'll see you guys next time to try and solve this mystery :)&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;Thanks for the event, Vroole!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole nods, &quot;Yeah thinking on when I will holidays and all.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;no problem I had fun coming up with this.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;I'm heading out for the holidays tomorrow night, so...I may be available sometime after the holidays. Not sure what other people are doing&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I'm looking to beginning of december and take it from there. And you mean thanksgiving or both that and Christmas?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria says, &quot;Beginning of December should work, I'll be out of state after the 17th, tho.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani says, &quot;I'm just going for Thanksgiving. Beginning of December will work for me&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Naw thinking end of the following week.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Silmeria nodnod.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;avoid that whole black friday and all after it too.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Korrani shudders.<br /> <br /> Long distance to Whirlpool: Vroole slumps, &quot;Thought that was going to be a little easier and faster too though. It is good exp though.&quot;<br /> <br /> Korrani has disconnected.<br /> <br /> Whirlpool goes home.<br /> <br /> Whirlpool has left.<br /> <br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;Alright who is all here?<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana raises a hand, though I have leveled since last time<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Kroth says, &quot;Iwas signed up originally as Radek but didnt go on the first part of this.<br /> <br /> From afar, Bennet is here... and not sure how to use any related features...<br /> <br /> Bennet has arrived.<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;All good we need some bodies so its alright.<br /> <br /> EVENTS (#9): Vroole says, &quot;Looking to get this done throw a couple fights out but still under investigation was all. :P<br /> <br /> Kroth has arrived.<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Yrqemm says, &quot;DR/x means that the DR applies ot everythign /except/ whatever X is, right?&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Ssylrath says, &quot;Generaly yes.&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Godwyn says, &quot;Yup&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Yrqemm says, &quot;Thanks.&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Godwyn says, &quot;If it's after the slash, you'll be hit for everything they have to offer in that field.&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Yrqemm says, &quot;Gotcha.&quot;<br /> <br /> [RulesChat] Yrqemm :)<br /> <br /> <br /> [Public] Vroole says, &quot;Anyone else have an alt not on right now that is in the event?&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Raethon says, &quot;Uh....&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Raethon says, &quot;Do you mean an alt that is not in the event?&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Vroole says, &quot;Well at this point I'm missing quite a few, looking to start asking if anyone wants to join in and finish this up.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Ssylrath says, &quot;Sorry, I'm in Typhoon's scene.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalara pages: I can sign on Belladona if you like<br /> <br /> Belladona pages: Still need another?<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Working to get a couple more people here.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'For sure.'<br /> <br /> Huh?

The healer who was watching over the cutup, sedated wife of the innkeeper told you about the wizard of the town having suspected of coming down with it in the first couple days and destroyed his own house with his magic. The heroes are off to investigate the site with the help of the messenger given to them to answer questions and show them around from the City's council. <br /> <br /> Following the messenger to the north side of town and outside the gate itself. The hut or what is left of the burnt, pulverized house lays closer to the farmlands beyond. The Wizard, Drunf Gright by the name one the parchment keeping records of those that had come down with the curse and disappeared on the second night after investigating the two children that had come under the curse the first day. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Ask any questions about what happened before. Basically blacsmith guy is busy smithing to keep the itching away, wife cut herself up bad with a kitchen knife trying to stop the itching. Alll 20+ people so far dissappear the same night they show signs of this itching craze of that previous morning.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;about all we got to so far.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Can I do a healing check to try to help them?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Alright, it might get you some info based on the roll.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls heal: (2)+3: 5<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;They itch... any sort of rash or discoloration before scratching themselves? Itch is everywhere, or only certain parts of the body? Been how long since the two children started?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;we'll say you checked out the wife.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana says, &quot;I could check too?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;No rash, other than damage they do themselves and they complain it is everywhere all over the body.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;and go for it Lyr&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls heal: (17)+14: 31<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona is a battle druid...not a healer.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;And alright, no healing seems to work. Not the mundane one anyway. The healer using magic in the room explains even magic healing all it does is seem to calm them for perhaps an hour.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth has no idea about any healing/magic :)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Lyrana says, &quot;does the roll give me an idea what we might be dealing with?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;None whatsoever, doesn't seem to be any physical signs or why the itching is the way it is.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet suspects a sort of Curse. Would like to try Detect Evil at the itching... which I doubt will work, but worth a shot.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Can I detect some magic on it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;later at night before they dissappear is when some walk the street seeming more mechanical when they speak and talk to anyone, then gone by next morning. And its been about 3 weeks since it started.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;go for it the detect magic.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona refreshes spells.<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona casts Detect Magic. Caster Level: 4 DC: -87<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'When you cast Detect Magic, you notice what might be glowing strings around they lips like they are flowing into their mouth nose and ears. Kind fo looks like a spider web tunnel where a spider might rest down inside.'<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;I Need to do something real fast so discuss and RP now a little and what you might all do.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona pages: Can I do a knowledge/nature to find out what kind of spider?<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'You can try.'<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls knowledge/nature: (1)+9: 10<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Okay, so three weeks ago, pair of kids started itching, no apparent cause. Wizard took a look, caught the Itch himself, and burned down his own place. Itch has since spread to the rest of the village. People itch uncontrobially, and a after a while towards the evening, they get weird, and disappear into the night. Correct?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;only been two or three each day since then. not the entire town by far yet.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms a little bit as she looks over some of the victems of the Itch and she uses a bit of magic to see if there is something magically causing this. &quot;Well what I can see if they hav some glowing strings around their lips and it's going in and out of their ears and nose and mouth. &quot;It sort of looks like a spider web tunnel, but no spider that I've ever heard of.&quot; She wrinkles her nose a bit.<br /> <br /> Bennet is perhaps a little less cautious in his investigation than he might be. As a servant of The Lady, he enjoys certain protections. But should this be a Curse, and not an illness... well, the gunman isn't utterly reckless. &quot;Whelp, I'm stumped. Don't look like no sickness I ever seen. Reckon our best bet be ta find where them kids first caught the Itch, maybe learn something more on where it came from.&quot;<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'Nope, would have taken a hurrculean roll to know for sure.'<br /> <br /> Kroth frowns as he listens to the information, then he grunts. &quot;Spider? Yes, I agree we should search for a source, track where the kids first caught this. Why would the mage burn his home though? Perhaps this is a creature and not a curse? A creature fire can hurt.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana has disconnected.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Guess give her a moment.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana has connected.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Or if you want continue to invrestigate.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet is ready to take a look at wherever the kids might have picked something up. Seems the next step to investigate.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Yea, move to wherever they may have caught this&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet rusn AFK to feed cats, shall return<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;back&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;back in a bit myself with a pose.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona has disconnected.<br /> <br /> Belladona has connected.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay sorry back now.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;work called.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay so going to discover where the kids first got the curse or whatever?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;yes&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Sure&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;IS the plan, yes&quot;<br /> <br /> Gunny the cart driver had spoke about his daughter being one of the first two children to be affected. The food before offered for dinner as the sun heads for the horizon and shadows begin to lengthen, was the same house, it seemed vacant almost and going back Gunny still hadn't returned from seeing the Council. The other, a younger boy, the family still grieving, his mother explaining how he didn't want to leave the bathtub, almost drowning himself a few times before later that night both had disappeared. <br /> <br /> Bennet ponders a bit. &quot;Reckon best look around the place. Seems things get interesting at night, may as well look then and hope to find something.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;if that is what everyone thinks is good I'll FF.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth nods, &quot;Yes, we will need to look around at night, perhaps follow if someone wanders off.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Sure&quot;<br /> <br /> It grows towards night, the sun dips down and soon the moon comes into view from the other direction and from over the hills and farmlands. Wandering the streets, there is a cry that soon goes up, investigating, one finds out the blacksmith is gone, tools he had been working, sitting there and a full barrel of horseshoes that has very little cool water left. As well, the healer in the room of the inn keepers wife had been knocked out and the woman was gone as well. The healer being awakened had fallen asleep only to find the woman up and striking the back of his head with part of the bed as a makeshift weapon. <br /> <br /> Kroth frowns, &quot;We must track them, quickly. If they get too far there is no telling if we can find them again.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks, idly double checking his rifle as he looks for some sign of where they may have wandered off to.<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls survival: (6)+3: 9<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls surival: (11)+surival: 11<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls survival: (3)+7: 10<br /> <br /> You paged Belladona with 'I'll give the first roll + seven for 18. since it should have been that. You find some tracks of the direction where both had gone, more towards the center of town and a little north more near the council;s manor direction of things on the hill.'<br /> <br /> Belladona pages: Thanks.<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms as she finds some tracks and she kneels down, &quot;Well I have some tracks over here. More of the head to the center of twn although some go to the north. Isn't there a council's manor over that way?&quot;<br /> <br /> Out and about as the call goes out, some of the more helpful and less afraid city dwellers are out looking as well. <br /> <br /> Kroth helps look around, but really has no tracking skills, though he can see in the dark, for what thats worth.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;What kind of knowledge skills does everyone have?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet know religion, the planes, and guns.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Nature&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;None!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth is a stupid stupid oruch fighter/monk :)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;LOL not at all, but seeing if something might have helped. Bell another Survival roll.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls survival: (6)+7: 13<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Following most of the people and where the tracks lead towards the manor of the council you come to where the street/road rises. Roll perception everyone.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (7)+7: 14<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (15)+7: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (17)+10: 27<br /> <br /> As you all get closer to where the road would begin to rise up to the manner, Bell follows the tracks and right before they seem to vanish, though the high traffic there makes for more confusion so it could have been lost in that. All of you hear something though, like a movement, a patter of feet in damp confines coming from the sewer grate near the edge of the road. This follows with what sounds like something stumbling and grunting a little. <br /> <br /> Kroth moves over near the grate, looking inside to see whats down there...hopefully nothing stabs him in the face while he looks.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;didn't see anything after Kroth.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks. &quot;Sewers... always the way, ain't it?&quot; The Absolution pulls a brass an crystal device from his belt, turning the knob so the crystal starts to glow with a faint yellow light, much like a torch, but without the heat and smoke. Unlikely to burn out, either. He does, however, keep his every burning torch away from ruining Kroth's night vision.<br /> <br /> Belladona wrinkles her nose a bit, &quot;Pretty much when it comes to adventuring.&quot; She says as she leads the way towards the sewers and she narrows her eyes to try to see if she can see anything.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> It is plain to see the woman, the innkeeper's wife, all still bandaged up, moving once more down along the sewer, the light catches its attantion, looking back and she hisses. She doesn't stop though, picking up speed now, moving akwardly with a what appears to be a broken arm and an ankle cocked at a weird angle, bones poking out form the wound, leaving a trail of blood behind her. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bennet focuses upon the woman, unsure if what she is now is like who she was before...<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Detect Evil&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Can we open the grate to the sewer?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Ineed it imminates a rather distinct source of evil. Around her head an aura of evil in fact is where it is concentrated mostly.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;with a little work and a strength roll yes.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;I'll pull the grate&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls strength: (11)+3: 14<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Bleh&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Kroth grabs at the grate, starting to pull and try to rip it out of the ground.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls strength: (10)+4: 14<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;it groans a little but doesn't budge much form the concrete anchors.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;anyone else?&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet is not mighty. Lets the buff guys try, but when raw strength doesn't work, maybe a bit of celver leverage will do...<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls strength: (8)+1: 9<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Or not&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona goes to help Kroth out as she grips a hold of the grate and she yanks on it. &quot;Must be rusted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;both of you together make it crack enough a little wiggling for a few minutes would dislodge the grate.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, and keeps working. &quot;Keep pulling..&quot; He strains for a bit, pulling at the grate and working at it.<br /> <br /> Minutes have passed while you work at the grate and finally get it loose, there is plenty of space for everyone to get through and their equipment, but the woman is well gone, only leaving the small drops of blood to show which direction she has gone. North it seems though soon enough with the twists and turns that if one hurries one might get lost, but if not one might not catch up to the woman. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;unless someone has a way of qickly memorizing every which way you go in?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;remind me to take knowledge sewers or something. LOL&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet follows the trail as best he can. Getting out again is a problem for later. &quot;Possession of some sort, I reckon. Something bad. Don't worry 'bout hurting them possessed, don't reckon is much of them left.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona goes to help get the grate off finally and she looks around. &quot;It might be those spider things that are inside of her.&quot; She suggests as she starts to lightly scratch on the wall with her knife to indicate the direction back out.<br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, &quot;We must hurry, a simple villager is weak and can hardly resist evils such as this.&quot; He moves along, using his darkvision to see further ahead than the light would allow.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay who is taking front, back middle and such, what order?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;I'll take front with Samafia&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;The sewer is a decent size, two two foot paths to either side, stinks fo course, but the water int he middle at this point is maybe three foot deep and barely a current.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;I can take the rear, watch for stuff behind us. Or front, either way.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;so Bennet in the middle then. Kroth the back bell in front. PRobably the best way to do things too. for what is coming up.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet nods, is fine with that order<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Can I throw barkskin on Samafia?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;sure can.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona casts Barkskin. Caster Level: 4 DC: 15<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;how long does it last?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;40 minutes&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay plenty of time.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;RP while I write the pose a little.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet isn't fond of enclosed spaces, espically ones that stink of sewage. But the Absolution carries one quietly, now and again checking his weapon to assure himsefl all is in working order. A misfire is never a good thing, and even less so in the middle of combat.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;or prepare anything that nyou might think you need to prepare. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona leads the way as ashe can see in the dark with Samafia by her side. She has her shield up and ready along with her claws.<br /> <br /> Kroth takes up the rear guard, looking back now and then to make sure nothing sneaks up on them while they are down here.<br /> <br /> As the party moves along the walkway, anyone stepping int the water won't like the smell that sticks with them for awhile after, but it isn't all that slippery. The weather has been fairly good, cold perhaps, but not too much rain lately. The soft whisper of feet and the current passes down the paths as they follow the blood. After a few turns, webbing begins to appear, in small patches, then in greater amounts the further one goes. <br /> <br /> It starts becoming more and more evident that indeed the suspicion of spiders might be the reason fro what is happening as there is far more webbing then can be accounted for being a dark place like this and the ever increasing amount as they follow the blood trail dripping here and there. Soon it stops though, as if something might have realized the trail it was leaving, bloody webs nearby. Samafia begins to growl a little, hair rising, something doesn't seem right to the animal, something is off. (OOC Roll Perception Bell and Kroth or can you communicate with your companion Bell) <br /> <br /> GAME: Kroth rolls perception: (16)+7: 23<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Anyone having detect traps?&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (19)+10: 29<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Anything to do with traps since that roll was high enough for the next part anyway?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Just verbal communication.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;one way you to the animal right?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;Yep&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> When Samafia growls it is looking at a certain point, Kroth and Belladonna both catching the cleverly concealed trigger to something, most likely a trap, covered in cobwebs to disguise it like other rocks along the path. Bell also notes the concentration of webs over head right where the stone is, bulging a little downward, the slight impression of something large and squarish made in it. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Kroth grunts, &quot;This is strange, what sort of spider sets up a trap? There is something at work here, more than a spider.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;So what you doing? how will you pass it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Kroth says, &quot;Can we pass it without setting it off?&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Also, how would a crazed wounded woman get past this trap, and the webbing...&quot; Kroth adds.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bennet shrugs. &quot;Cross to the other side? Take the smell and walk in the muck? Reckon wouldn't hurt to just stand back and throw stones at it or something.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Rycroft says, &quot;Heya, I'm not approved but I don't seem to have a +myjob either.&quot;<br /> <br /> [Public] Typhoon says, &quot;Applications don't do the myjob thing.

Anyone else shows up I'll page it to them.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia nods<br /> <br /> Since arriving in the late afternoon, the adventurers have discovered that a malady of not a curse, but some outside force is taking over people. The signs of intense itching like something crawling around in their body was most likely some spider of some kind. The keys to this are the spectral webs around the ears, mouth and nose, almost like a funnel spiders in nature, waiting inside by the use of Detect magic. The innkeeper's wife and blacksmith have both wound up disappearing by nightfall and tracking them the wife was discovered int he sewers, clearly not herself, more like a robot being controlled, ankle and arm broken she didn't seemed phased, only hissed. By the time they got the sewer grate off she was gone. A blood trail was found from the broken ankle and it lead deeper into the sewers to the north of town with ever increasing amounts of spider webs. They were held up when the blood trail ended and a trap was discovered and there they were stopped for the moment. One at least rock depression on the ground was discovered and above a bulging web, like something heavy was being held in it and in a depression carved out of the roof of the sewer itself. <br /> <br /> There they sit and while they were figuring what to do other adventurer notified of the sewer escape have show up in time to help them out. The sewer itself is rather large with a two brick and stone walkways on either side, easily traversed by most people, the water, stinking in between is slow and lazy as it heads out towards the waterway to the north side of town. So the trap is there and everyone waits to see what those there and newly arrived might do. <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;So that is basically it and were we are at for now. Some form of Spider or spiders at at the bas trouble it seems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Now that we have other people, anyone that knows how to deal with traps and such?&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet tsks mildly, holding aloft his room tempature Everyburning Torch, which does nothing particular to the webs. &quot;...times like this sorta wish had an old-fashion flame. Got a flint and bit of tinder, but reckon is damp enough may take a while to make a spark. Iffen any of ya'll got ideas, I'm listening.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet says, &quot;*Everburning Torch&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;...May I be present as additional back having been called in?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Just trying to figure out why I'm here if it's in the middle of things.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole nods, &quot;Why I added that part about all the others showing up. Indeed you are there.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms a little bit, &quot;Well normally I prepare produce flame, but recently I had need of some mists instead so I switched it out. I do carry flint and steel with me to help start a fire when needed.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling attaches a tank to his large gleaming chrome gauntlet. &quot;If it gets thick we will burn our way through, I prepared some fuel for my flamethrower but it won't last long.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana does step back a bit, &quot;Well if you are going to do that we should probably move back a bit.&quot;<br /> <br /> Approaching in titan armor, Zenia looks about and whistles. &quot;Dang.&quot; she says, &quot;This is a HUGE infestation, how'd it get this big?&quot; she asks, then holds up her deathray as the chamber rolls from a glowing blue to a glowing orange. &quot;Yeah, if we need fire I've got plenty of power in the ray. Or we could try other things, anyone tried talking to these spidery things? I mean they're... PROBABLY not mindless unless we're dealing with some kind of servitor race to a greater amoral or immoral creature.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;They're evil.&quot; Which is all Bennet thinks needs said on that matter.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Guessing no person with Disable Device here?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia has it!<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Artificer. :3&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling shrugs &quot;Dont want to waste fuel if I dont need to, lets just press on and squish em'&quot; he shoulders through some of the webs, pulling them down with his gauntlets if in the way.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole reminds everyone of the trap that currently has the group stalled for the moment. :P<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Ah missed that.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;The webs?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Oh&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia will try for a disable device check then<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Roll it.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls Disable Device: (2)+9: 11<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Least it wasn't a 1!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;I think those mean, 'Terribad results'&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;yeah that would have been worse... Lets see. I imagine everyone else was hanging back far enough? :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Roll I mean.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Give me a Reflex roll.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls Reflex: (13)+6: 19<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay I'll pose what happened it missed you.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;You can pose trying to disable it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona moves back to let the artificer try to disable the trap. &quot;Well if the trap goes off maybe it will trap the spiders in there.&quot;<br /> <br /> Clink! KA-CHUNK! Clank. It seems that Zenia is trying to remove the trap then glances back in a distracted manner momentarily as she says, &quot;We've got no idea what they're after though, can't really stop them per se unless we have a good idea of that.&quot;<br /> <br /> As Zenia tried to disable the trap, something clicks and the raised rock lowers, it is enough of a warning that Zenia is able to toss herself back a mere few inches less and the giant square stone block might have caught her foot or more indeed if she hadn't responded so quickly. The stone hits the ground hard, several feet across and several feet up, enough to make something very squashed or several if it hadn't been seen, but not high enough to block off the sewer either. The webbing above that held the stone is ripped, like it was design to give as a sharp blade parted it along the bottom to let the stone drop.

You can pose coming up and charging into things.. or whatever you do best.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet mutters and grumbles as he pops the broken crystal free from his rifle. Pulling a small screwdriver from his pocket, the Absolution fiddles for a bit.... only to have the tool slip form his fingers and disappear into the muck. A few phrases follow that with a bit of effort could likely be weaponized themselves. But, he does manage to shove a fresh crystal into place, and snap the hatch closed again. It's not a pretty fix, but it'll do.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;roll it&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Aevarr rolls ranged: (12)+6: 18<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;that is a hit. most likely dead. rolld damage&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Aevarr rolls 1d8+3: (4)+3: 7<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Pose taking it out and we will go out of timestop and try to get things up to speed to the final confrontation.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;its dead for sure. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole removes the timestop.<br /> <br /> Timestop by Vroole has left.<br /> <br /> GAME: You remove the timestop.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;pose the afternmath and I guess fixing your gun Bennet?&quot;<br /> <br /> Aevarr does not have any spider venom handy (that is to say, venom that kills spiders). Instead, he nocks and looses an arrow into one of the AoUSes. It punctures carapace and causes all eight legs to curl up as it falls.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The remains of the burnt and smashed up, goey remains of the spiders rests before the party, the way clear now and nothing else can be heard for the moment. The block now that things are secure is easy t get over and there is only one way to go down the Sewer as it leads more towards the edge of town and the lake there. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;alrigth pse what you are and then we'll FF a little.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;all roll me a perception check.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls perception: (1)+10: 11 (EPIC FAIL)<br /> <br /> Lyrana looks around a bit, &quot;Did anyone get hurt?&quot; she asks as she does.<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (3)+7: 10<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls perception: (20)+4: 24<br /> <br /> GAME: Stirling rolls perception: (16)+8: 24<br /> <br /> GAME: Aevarr rolls perception: (6)+10: 16<br /> <br /> Belladona shakes her head, &quot;I don't think so.&quot; She moves forward into the sewer and she has to help Samafa up over the boulder. She walks along and has her shield and claws ready.<br /> <br /> Bennet sighs, and slowly takes apart the mechanisims once more, before putting tham all carefully back into proper alignment. Not only will the weapon work, but it will keep doing so for a while... in theory. &quot;Only hurt my pride.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling tries to light his cigar in the damp, trying several times to get it started before it takes &quot;Nothing that cant be fixed by crushing a few more critters.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;okay anytime everyone is ready to move forward when poses are done.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia nods<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The path continues to grow with the amount of webs everywhere, over walls and floor, the paths becoming more treacherous to walk on, though they aren't strong enough to,hold anyone down, they could hamper movement in combat if it were to happen. The only clear part of the sewer is the water that flows along lazily, along with other things that float in it and the ever present smell of things people might put down a toilet from above. First Lyrana and Stirling hear something, like what one might wonder what a spider speaking sounds like. (OOC both of you pose first then Aevarr can pose, back to free pose after while they are hearing that. Seems there is something else ahead now also and it sounds intelligent rather more than anything else the spiders before spit out, like ti was barking commands, Then decide order of how you will move in and give me another perception roll everyone and where you are, walking on webs or mucking through water in what order and who is in front and such)<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;well meant to hit enter after a few more poses.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole :P<br /> <br /> Belladona tries to ignore the smell as best ashe can as she uses her sharp claws to cut through the waves that get in the way. She hears something ahead and it sounds very intelligent. She relays the info to the others behind her as they sneak forward.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;almost done all should be one more fight and then round it all up at the end.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling moves along third in the group, taping the disc at his chest to make sure its still working. Looking up suddenly he raises a hand &quot;You hear that? Sounds like trouble coming our way.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Let me get stealth rolls at a -2 on webs, or -1 in the water if you are going that wya. and perception rolls as well.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls stealth: (7)+0: 7<br /> <br /> GAME: Stirling rolls stealth: (19)+4: 23<br /> <br /> Aevarr moves long with th others, temporarily without quip in light of attempts to remain inconspicuous.<br /> <br /> GAME: Belladona rolls 1d20+7: (18)+7: 25<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;And what path water or webs you are taking.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Belladona says, &quot;That's for samafa&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling will go water.<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls stealth-2: (3)+1+-2: 2<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls perception: (3)+7: 10<br /> <br /> GAME: Stirling rolls perception: (17)+8: 25<br /> <br /> Bennet continues to quietly grumble, fussing over his gun. This... might not be the best time or place to be so distracted.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Aevarr will use Stealth Synergy and take Belladona's die roll.<br /> <br /> GAME: Aevarr rolls perception: (2)+10: 12<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole rolls 1d20 + 9: (8)+9: 17<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Aevarr says, &quot;And not see anything.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia sneakeh<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia will use this<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Zenia says, &quot;Anyway, rolling full stealth because overclocking.

LOL&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;so those that were informed, pose what you saw.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;plus if you did well or not stealth wise for fun.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stirling holds up a hand as he comes to a stop in the water. &quot;Hold up, we got ourselves another trap of some kind. Lets burn through it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Belladona hmms as she tries to be sneaky, but she's not as good at it as Samafa is who's naturally sneaky being a lioness. She does have pretty good sense of hearing and she nods to Stirling, &quot;Yes it looks like there is a trap up ahead.&quot; She nods as she and Samafa hold up to let to those that can burn go ahead of them.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;might suggest pointing them out. :P&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana is trying to be sneaky, but doesn't really succeed, after all war golem in armor and all that, she trudges through the water, splash splash, clang. She blinks, &quot;Know we are here.&quot; she murmers.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Zenia, looks like it will take two more fire shots to clear the trap triggers made of webs one to each side of the sewer. Roll twice and unless you get ones it only takes two shots, and I'll pose what happens.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;so you are keeping track of how many you use... Probably have around 14-16 total I would imagine a day?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;I was planning to use Burning Hands since deathray shots are limited.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;ahh go for that then.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;that works too.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Stirling casts Burning Hands.

It allows the party to move forward to an opening the sounds came from on the right. Into the a large room, 40 across and 40 feet in width. A drainage basin room one might find for when the sewer overflows. The spider webs are even thicker here and along the sides several body size web cocoons are there, they aren't moving and two are partially done it seems over a large male, the blacksmith and another the wife of the inn keeper. A ten foot path rings a pit in the middle, across from them sits a human size blue humanoid figure with a face of a spider and sickle like arms. It is looking at them pointing at them as two more giant spiders work from either side of the room and one above climbing along the ceiling on the webs. Several other smaller spiders can be seen, not looking to get confrontational as they are maybe a finger nail in width and seem to be crawling over the newly acquired food in the two humans being wrapped up.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ATTENTION -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Vroole has dropped a TIMESTOP!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Please +init, then cease all roleplay and actions immediately and wait for Vroole to instruct you further.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> For additional in-combat commands, please type: +thelp.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;roll your init.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Zenia rolls initiative: Roll: 2 + Bonus: 3 = Total: 5<br /> <br /> GAME: Lyrana rolls initiative: Roll: 20 + Bonus: 2 = Total: 22<br /> <br /> GAME: You roll initiative for Stirling: Roll: 10 + Bonus: +3 = Total: 13<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;i'll fix you stirling.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Ah oops!&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;easy fix.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole advances the initiative order.<br /> <br /> Round One - Init 22.<br /> <br /> It is now Lyrana's turn!

Samafa dodges the clumsy attempt by the spider to bite her when she ges close. The lioness leaps up to bite down into the spider's abdomen and Belladona charges down and her claws cut deep into the spider's head to kill it.

Gonna have to collect some of that ichor of yours.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole advances the initiative order.<br /> <br /> Round Four - Init 21.<br /> <br /> It is now Spiderlings' turn!

Getting late and wrapping it up.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Bennet says, &quot;Bang bang a spider.... er... I am free of spiderlings, correct?&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Yes free of spiderlings.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls 1d20+10: (8)+10: 18<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;roll damage&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Bennet rolls 1d12+1: (7)+1: 8<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;And dead... :P&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;pose it.&quot;<br /> <br /> GAME: Vroole removes the timestop.<br /> <br /> Timestop by Vroole has left.<br /> <br /> GAME: You remove the timestop.<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;After he poses all can start posing and such then. I'll write a wrap up.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;and answer questions.&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet shudders a little, patting himself a moment to be sure there's no live spiders left on him... and focuses again, taking aim at the remaining spider and lauching another flaming lead ball. It doesn't take much to blow the rest of the bug apart, leaving a small burning hole where it had been.<br /> <br /> Lyrana moves around, &quot;Does anyone need healing?&quot; she asks and then does move to check the blacksmith and innkeeper's wife.<br /> <br /> Belladona shakes her head, &quot;no I'm all right.&quot; She says as she startsto go to cut out the victems as Samafa starts to pound and tear at the smaller spiders.<br /> <br /> Stirling shrinks down to regular size and stretched his arms &quot;Well thats a good bit of fun, wasn't it?&quot; he says with a grin to Bennett.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Twirling a small disc on a leather strap, Zenia nods as well. &quot;Yeah, I can do that too actually.&quot; then looks at those in the webs and pauses, before realizing that there are -people- in there. &quot;OH CRAP!&quot; she says, rushing over towards them and helping to tear the webs with her armor. &quot;Hey, are you two OK?&quot; she asked, looking somewhat panicked.<br /> <br /> Bennet blehs, moving to check on the ones trapped. &quot;Could have done without them crawling on me...&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;You'll find them quite dead... unable to be healed. The spiderlings had eaten away most of the brain's motor control to use them like a big bag of flesh to brign down for eating.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Vroole says, &quot;Mostly only dangerous to those that were alseep when they invaded their brains... Course taking a day to eat their way in and setup till the next night and then taking them for food.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;OOC&gt; Stirling says, &quot;Yummy&quot;<br /> <br /> Bennet ews... &quot;So... all in favor of burning this place and every brain-eating spider in it?&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Yep.&quot; Zenia says, &quot;Provided it doesn't... Y'know, actually blow up the town above. Don't want that happening.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lyrana nods her head, &quot;Sounds good to me, or at least ordering an extermination team to come down and do it.&quot; she shakes her head a bit.<br /> <br /> <br /> After the Ettercap was killed the spiders it had controlled were not much of a problem, not that the Ettercap was either it seems as the group had smacked it around pretty quick, which was probably a good thing. The people that had been taken are all found to be dead, most with enlarged holes at ear, mouth or nose, like something had burst outward after they were being strung up and preserved. None have survived the trauma the little control spiders had had on them, a good portion of the motor control part of the brain having been eaten out and the husks taken over like zombies almost to bring back for food for the spiders and the Ettercap to feast on. Horse's daughter is nothing but a skinned bag of bones, hollow and quite not a pretty sight after almost three weeks having been drained. As most others that fat back. The wizard not having been found would later be found and discovered to have gotten into a fight with a few other spiders and having a fear of such blew his whole house up with himself inside. <br /> <br /> The people of Derry are happy, even if sad as well that their loved ones could not be returned to them, the drainage room being closed, bricked up after being burned with all the webs in the sewers with it. It will never be used again or allowed to be used as a lair for such foul creatures. It was best left to memory and letting it be buried away, or so most of Derry had agreed upon.</div>
