 Loran The first thing Loran did was finally get that arrow out of her, it was a bit difficult but the first thing any magician learned before even touching healing magic was how to heal themselves, using a small knife she dug it out, before using a simple spell to heal it over, the spell taking the form of a whistle. The spell wafted through the air, providing a lesser effect to those who heard it. Use two Surges to have 7/9 left, get back to 61 HP. All allies gain +5 to healing surge usage due to Song of Rest. Once she was patched up, she looked up and winced a little at Sergio's treatment... enemies or not, they were still the dead. It wasn't proper to disrespect the dead like that, especially since they had already been disrespected once already. Still, her rebuke stopped at her tongue. "Err, Mr. Klobbe... I do not believe that any of them had it. And if they did you probably destroyed it in your... zeal..." Oops, she just couldn't help but offer a small criticism.

Loran "Well, of course he is." Loran said, rolling her shoulders and checking if the healing took. "However, I have little doubt he knows we're here too." "If you'll recall, we was told the thief was around human sized, accompanied by some 'skeletal halfling-sized creatures.'" She gestured towards one of the shattered remains of a Witherling. "And, well, I think these Witherlings fit the description well, wouldn't you say?" At this sentence she glanced around at the others.

 Kranne Kranne grimaces as she feels the adrenaline rush start to fade and a dozen cuts and bruises make themselves known. At the same time, the innumerable arrows peppering the battlefield and the corpses begin to fade, dissolving away until there is nothing left but a faint haze of green smoke. "Well fought. We'll take a few minutes to rest, but nothing more. Loran is right; there's at least one of these things we can't account for, and if they're his scouts then he knows where we are. This ambush confirms it. We have to keep moving before he delays us with more of this chaff." She grips her chin and firmly cracks her neck before sitting down and starting to tease the gnoll's arrow from her pauldron. Spending one surge to restore to max, 57/57 HP. 4 surges remaining. Lose all Darkspiral Aura points.

 Ledran 'the Green' As the others talked strategy and patched themselves up, Ledran sat on the ground and stayed silent. that had been...a tough fight to say the least. With practised ease Ledran's vines burrowed into the ground below him, until he was rooted right in place. The voices of the others fell away, and all that Ledran could hear was the sounds of the jungle. With some effort Ledran drew some of the nutrients in the ground out and into his body, healing the scarred branches and vines of his body. Coming back into the conversation, he caught the last part of Kranne's speech as he rose. "Kranne's right. A few gnolls is usually a sign that a lot more are lurking around, undead or not. Speed is the key, we should move out as fast as possible." Three surges to put myself at max, leaving with with 6.

  Adeya Just as Ledran, Adeya turns herself a little away from the group, letting the chill of her spirit friend spread through her and invigorate her. With the slightest shiver and a sigh, she turns back to the group. "Onwards, then. This time...Sergio, if you would join me up front along with Ledran? I have no taste for taking the brunt of an ambush again." Three surges for max, 3 left.

Ledran 'the Green' That was an...unexpected question. Ledran had not gone out of his way to explain himself to Loran or anyone else, so it was not totally uncalled for. "Before I was a 'plant', I was a man, so Mr. would be correct I suppose. Most people call me an it these days, I've not thought about it in sometime. I would prefer you call me just Ledran though, it is my name after all."

Sergio Sergio dumps out his pipe and pockets it. He then hops to his feet, slaps his belly and gives Adeya a crude grin and wink. "I'll show you how a man does it, doll-face! Lets a-go!" Spear resting on his shoulder he leads the way along the most default path available. Anything else would require thought.

 You continue on. It's not too long before you come along some ruins. Based on the steep ziggurat steps, Sergio figures the place for an ancient temple*. You feel somewhat of a sense of trepidation as you approach - the steps hardly look like they were easy even when they were in good condition. Now, half are washed away and the rest have been taken over by jungle overgrowth. Unfortunately, they remain the best way to proceed - so proceed you do. You clamber hand over hand up the steps, grasping at the branches crisscrossing the stone when you can. Unfortunately, some of the branches have a little more give than expected, and Loran takes a fall**. She bounces her face off the stone and nearly flies all the way down to the ground before managing to catch herself. Nonetheless, with a bit of perseverence, everyone makes it to the top. Once you enter the temple proper, you see plenty of signs that someone has been here before you. Sticks and other implements are jammed into places that, upon close inspection, you can tell are openings for some sort of trap. The occasional witherling body lies on the floor, sliced in half by a blade or peppered with thin spikes. You press on. A short time later, you find yourselves in a circular room. Sunlight beams down through a wide opening in the roof, allowing you to see easily even without a torch. The walls here are decorated all around with elaborate friezes. It's a lot to take in at once - rows upon rows of people fighting monsters, talking, bowing before kings, fighting each other, praising the gods and so on. After a bit of examination, Kranne recognizes some of the figures. She puts together that these walls depict the story of the hero Arham, a king who ruled the region of Muat long before even the Shurah empire. Distraught over the death of his queen Narua, Arham swore to retrieve her soul from the underworld. He tricked Ekun into opening the passage between the Earth and the Underworld for him, fought his way through legions of demons, and eventually found Narua. Together, the two made their way back to the land of the living. As Kranne tells the tale, Loran interrupts*** to mention that in these stories, arcane magic is supposed to have originated from the underworld. Narua learned much during her considerable time spent there, and according to the story, was the first one to bring magic to the mortal realm. As you discuss the story and the purpose of this temple, Adeya notices three witherlings on the roof, creeping up to the opening above you. Each is carrying a clay jar at least as big as itself. As soon as she calls them to your attention, the witherlings push the jars over the edge. They fall and shatter on the floor, releasing a swarm of spiders like you've never seen. They blanket the floor, turning it from the colour of sun-beaten sand into a writhing, skittering black wave coming directly for you. The spiders are between you and the exit. You don't see any obvious trap-disarmament in the hallway leading further into the ruin. How do you proceed? *Dungeoneering: 1d20+11 = 21 **Athletics: 1d20+8 = 14.

Adeya "Sergio! Lead the way." Adeya gestures frantically as she takes a step back, looking at the spider. There's a chance she could freeze them over, and already a cold mist forms around her hands. "Kranne, go with him, you know these old places better than any of us! Move!" The temporary panic settles down a little bit, but the mountain girl is still trying to identify the threat ahead of her, judging the possibility that she might stem it. Nature at d20+14=17. Alternatively; can I use a power against these chumps or are they frost-resistant spiders somehow?

Adeya is sure she could freeze the spiders. However, something about them - perhaps the purpose with whiich they move, perhaps their bright green eyes - makes her hesitant to call them natural creatures.

Adeya The others become but an afterthought to Adeya as her breath begins to turn to vapor and her hands glaze over with a thin layer of rime. The spiders draw closer, and she raises her hands up. They draw closer, and her hands become fists. The vanguard of the spider-carpet suddenly freezes over as icy patches form all around, even under the jungle sun. Then reality sets in and her collateral frost disappears. "It's done. Now move!" Enlarged Icy Terrain at d20+13=27.

Loran "Jacob." At Loran's command the shadow manifested, rising up from the ground, taking the form of a vaguely human shape of flame and smoke. "Yes, my lady?" "We must proceed, I want you to be on the look out for any traps and warn us of them." "Of course Lady Loran, I will do my best to keep you from harm." With those words he flew into the hall way. Loran followed a moment later, taking care to listen to any warnings he could provide. I summon my Familar and send him down the hall ahead of me. With him I make a perception check to spot any traps. Perception Check: Result - 22 Dr Pepper fucked around with this message at 20:04 on May 18, 2014 |

With the party following cautiously behind, Jacob speeds ahead to check for traps. He doesn't find any. He does report back that the hallway branches into two paths at the end. One way has an open door leading into a room with an undead gnoll slumped against the far wall. The other way has a closed door. Five stones jut out of the door that look like they can be pulled downward. Above is a carving of a demonic face with light glowing out of its eyes, nostrils and mouth.

Ledran 'the Green' Neither of these look like a good option. Spiders behind, trouble ahead for certain. Stepping gingerly towards the doorway Ledran begins to inspect the stones that must make up its control mechanism. "I have a feeling we are supposed to be funneled into that other room. If we can get into this one quickly, I suggest we do so." This was not the first ruin Ledran had found locked doors in, but having vines for hands made it much easier to break into than before. Locks did not fare well when he could worm his tendrils inside them and pull them apart. Thievery: 1d20+13 30

Ledran rushes to the door and quickly finds out that each lever, when pulled, switches some of the lights between on and off. He easily finds the solution that turns all the lights off. The door grinds open to reveal a dank, musty, cobweb-filled circular room littered with dusty urns. There is no other exit that you can see. A single large urn stands in the centre of the room. A mural wraps around the wall, depicting Arham struggling with an immense demonic maw. Loran recalls* that in the ancient stories, the final step of one's journey to the underworld was represented by an immense maw that swallowed the newly-dead soul. Arham was able to cross this threshold without being devoured by cutting off his own hand and throwing it in, thus fooling the maw into thinking it had already eaten him by the time he jumped through. It's then that you notice a forest of spikes slowly descending from the ceiling. The room does not prevent you from leaving - but the still-encroaching spiders might. *History: 1d20+19 = 33

Adeya Throwing one glance at the spikes, Adeya quickly moves forward to inspect the urn. Perhaps there was a way for them to pass this trial without losing a hand. Almost as quickly she withdraws again, overcome by the stench of rot and dried blood from the urn. "Oh, Voice preserve." Retching a little, she steps back. "Any ideas?" 24 passive perception.

Sergio Sergio has been following along with the group at a casual, almost relaxed pace. Ah, some old ruins, he observes quietly. Well duh, if they were new ruins some idiot would live here and be spending their fabulous ancient wealth. That'd make it significantly harder for Sergio to steal. You had to learn to watch out for the old ruins because old means abandoned and abandoned means benefit of the doubt under the law. There were some more gnolls, I guess. Sergio doesn't really care. He scratches his belly and watches the spiders approach, everybody panic, some trap spotting, some trap tripping, some lever pulling, a puzzle? Sergio's eyes glaze over and he thinks to the only blip of interest his mind has had since they got in here: if he had a torch and some lantern oil, he could've lit all those spiders on fire. It would've been fun. But when he had spent some of his coin in town on a one-of-a-kind Adventurer's Kit, he now realized he had been swindled! You can't light things on fire with Sunrods! And there was hardly even anything flammable in the kit at all! Sergio was now so mad he could barely contain himself! As soon as Adeya goes off on something about the smell of blood Sergio charges ahead and seizes the urn! He props himself up and holds his hand over it, then jabs the tip of his spear into his own palm! "Argh!" He bleeds a pretty significant amount of his own blood into the urn, then slam-dunks the pouch with the gnoll bonemeal into it. Donating a Surge to the Urn, dropping to 10/13 Surges.

When Sergio spills his blood, the spikes slowly retreat back into the ceiling. As soon as they vanish completely, you hear a click and the room starts to rotate. The doorway vanishes and the threat of spiders along with it as the room turns. Only a few of the arachnids get in - and you easily stamp them out. Unfortunately, when you do, they explode into a spray of acid. Those of you without magic footwear might need new boots after this is over. Soon enough, the spinning room reveals a new exit - but instead of grinding to a halt like you thought, it keeps going. You rush out into the new hallway before it vanishes and you have to sacrifice again. Sergio has a bit of trouble fitting through the closing gap* but you (literally) pull him through. Once on the other side, you hear a voice up ahead. A markedly non-undead voice at that. It seems someone else took notice of the room's loud grinding. You hear a multitude of footsteps heading toward you. You could wait for them and set up an ambush in this hallway, or rush to meet them somewhere with more room to move. *Acrobatics: 1d20+3 = 12. Sergio loses 1 healing surge.

 A gnoll mage approaches the opposite entrance but stops short when he sees the goat. He fires a radiant bolt that splits in two, one half streaking toward the goat and the other half toward Sergio. The goat ducks out of the way, but Sergio takes it on the chin. Radiant shackles appear around him, holding him back from the gnoll. "Identify yourselves, wretches!" the gnoll growls. While he menaces you, an undead gnoll comes out of the hallway and slashes the spectral goat in two. The other undead gnoll disappears into an unseen corridor. While you're wondering as to the statues' function, a witherling proves more than happy to demonstrate. It swipes the coin from one of the statue's hands - and the statue responds by unleashing a blast of ice upon the nearby Sergio and Adeya! Rachem the Profane: Move to J10.

Loran Upon hearing the mage's challenge, Loran glared at him from across the room. She pointed her wand at him, "I am Loranthel del Altaha, daughter of Heimnel del Altaha. Me and my companions were perusing a thief that stole a valuable statue from the satrap. However!" she shouted with a stronger point of the wand, "Whether or not you are the thief is irrelevant now! For you have tried to kill us with your warped magical creations. Such a misuse of the Dream should offend any good and sensible person. However, if you order your creatures to stand down and surrender, I promise on my name we will show you mercy and you shall be tried fairly."

Ledran 'the Green' With Sergio nearly dealing with the other doorway, Ledran rushes over as fast as he can to the other. If that polearm can be brought down, then all of the gnolls will be funneled through the other doorway, and it will buy the party some time. Wrapping a vine on it, Ledran gives as hard a tug as he is able. If it doesn't do it, this wont be the best position to be in. Move: to G-10, using 2 actions to do so.

"Ha! The pup would threaten the hound? I will save you for last, Loranthel! Then we shall see-" The gnoll is cut off as the stone door in front of him crashes to the ground with an almighty THOOM. Those right next to the door hear nothing but ringing in their ears for the next few seconds. Everyone else hears a ferocious roar coming from the lever room - and less than a second later, they see a demon primate barreling down on them. The barlgura comes in swinging against Sergio. The mighty man deflects its blow. Then, just as he's about to respond with a cutting taunt, the barlgura socks him right in the kisser. Blackfang A and Ledran are deafened until the end of Ledran's next turn. Barlgura: Move to E7. Melee 2 attack vs. AC: target Sergio (18, miss). Melee 2 attack vs. AC: target Sergio (33, CRIT!). Sergio takes 19 damage.  pre:All Heroes: All Monsters: Black squares are walls (blocking terrain) Light green squares are difficult terrain due to plant overgrowth. Open squares at the top of the map lead outside to a long fall down. Light brown squares are difficult terrain due to the destroyed bodies of undead gnolls. The jackal heads are statues. Each holds its hands cupped together against its abdomen - and a single gold coin has been placed in the hands of each statue. The lever is a lever.

Loran "What a brute." Loran said once the door slammed shut. She could tell the type. Rude, nasty, and an ego completely unfitting his station. He would not surrender, so it was time for action! Holding up her want, she shouted words of friendlies and inspiration. The magic in those words spread around her, changing the air so that those she called allies could feel their bodies grow slightly stronger, more able to press on. With a deliberate pace, she approached the pathway to the next room. "Humph." She said as she saw the raging beast, with a flick of her wand she launched her next attack. The beast's eyes clouded over, and for a moment it seemed to forget where it was. Seizing such an opportunity with a laugh, Sergio stabbed the creature with his spear, causing the ape demon to stumble back. Minor Action: Song of Courage. I create a Zone of 5 squares around me. Any ally in the zone gains a +1 to all Attack Rolls. The zone moves around with me and ends at the end of my next turn, but it can be sustained with a Minor Action. Move Action: Move to D10 Standard Action:Blunder against Barlgura. Result: 21 - Hit. Barlugra takes 10 damage, I grant Sergio a Melee Basic Attack against it with a +5 Bonus to the Attack Roll, and after Sergio attacks I shift it to E5. Granted Attack: Sergio does a Melee Attack on Barlugra. Result: 26: Hit. Barlugra takes 20 damage. pre:Loran Altatha HP: 61/61 (THP: ) AC: 24 Passive Insight: 18 Surges: 06/09 (V: 13) For: 17 Passive Perception: 19 Initiative: +8 Ref: 21 Action Points: 1 Speed: 5 Will: 22 Vision: Low Light Vision At Will Encounter Daily Staggering Note [ ] Second Wind [ ] Stirring Shout Vicous Mockery [ ] Noble Presence [X] Song of Courage Familiar: Book Imp [ ] Fey Step [ ] Compulsion Mage Hand [ ] Words of Friendship [X] Blunder [ ] Impelling Force [ ] Revitalizing Incantation [ ] Theft of Life [ ] Majestic Word [ ] Majestic Word Item Powers Rituals [ ] Eyebite Glib Limerick Summoned Armor Tenser's Floating Disk [X] Lucky Charm Comprehend Language [ ] Catstep Boots Seek Rumor [ ] Shield of Eyes Arcane Lock Conditionals/Resists: Eladrin Will: +5 Racial Bonus against Charm Effects Battle Caster Defense:+4 Feat Bonus to AC against Oppertunity Attacks triggered by ranged or area powers.

Kranne Kranne pushes forward, striding over the shattered corpse of a long-dead gnoll to stand shoulder to shoulder with Sergio. "We hold here! Don't let them through!" A translucent vanguard swirls into existence around her, rapidly forming a wall of shields. With a gesture Kranne unleashes a volley of javelins from her bodyguard, and at least one penetrates the giant ape's body with punishing force. Move: to E9. Gain concealment.
