Sessions/Fens of Despair/Sevenxh

Narrator: Mrugnak and the massive lizardman champion Setherixel prepare to enter into combat for the fate of Harlan and Lenia.
Mrugnak: (( now would be a good time for someone to ask what the actual TERMS of this contest are. ))
Mrugnak: Mark, question from the email -
Lenia: "Glorious leader, we are strangers to your ways and traditions. Before the combat, will you deign to announce the rules to both fighters, so that we may not accidentally give offense?"
Mrugnak: (( never mind ))
whispering to Connell, By the way, the shoulder dragon is corrupted by the swamp's polluted energies, and you think the Shaman may be, too. 
Lenia: ((Diplomacy: If it's going to be your tag skill, learn to flatter.))
Narrator: The lizardmen of the village are standing on the edge of the ring, and others are drifting in from the Fens to watch.
** Hammer paces over Mrugnak's gear giving lizard's dirty looks **
Lizardmen: Therzerze: "Thes rullles? Verys wellls."
Lizardmen: Therzerze: "Ttthhheys fights. Fights ssstopssss whens ones quits."
Berkun: Berkun finds some stone to sit on
Connell: "Quits?" He eyes Mrugnak. "Does Mrugnak let people quit?"
Lizardmen: Therzerze: "Nos lleeavings thes rrrings. Buts thes fights doesssn'ts sssstops ifs Sssettherixells throws hims outs."
Hammer: "I'm sure.."
Lizardmen: Therzerze: "Nos ones elllsssses fights. Nos magics!"
** Lenia says a silent prayer of thanks that she didn't send Hammer in. **
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak smash 'im. Mrugnak not quit."
** Lenia looks up at Mrugnak. "And keep hold of your temper. If he tries to quit, let him. Got that?" **
Lizardmen: Therzerze: "Whens hes lllosssesss, wes takes yous ands thes ressssts uvvvs yous leavvvvessss."
** Mrugnak frowns. "Him big guy. Not silly quit." **
Hammer: whispers to Lenia,"what about the money? If We win, no money, right?"
Lenia: "And when Mrugnak wins, we - and your prisoners - leave peacefully."
Mrugnak: (( gonna have to quickly restart OpenRPG again before we get into the fight. Message for you folks - Python is asstacular. ))
Mrugnak: (( give me a heads up when's a good time to do it. ))
Lizardmen: Therzerze: "Is ssssupposssses. Ifffs thats happenssss."
GM: Now would be great.
Lenia: "And what happens should one of them die?"
Lizardmen: Therzerze: "Hes lllosssesss ands wes eatssss yous."
Mordreona: ((Great))
Lenia: "...You eat us if your champion dies?"
Connell: "And if Mrugnak dies?"
Lizardmen: Therzerze: "Sssssetttthherixellls wills wins. Buts ifffs hes doesssss nots, yous goessss frees."
Lenia: "Excellent. Let the fight begin!"
** Mrugnak mutters "No eat Mrugnak. Stupid lizard." **
** Connell leans over to Lenia and says, "That shaman's familiar has been corrupted by the swamp. Shaman too. Might be unpredictable." **
** Lenia nudges Mrugnak. "Try not to kill him, it probably won't go over well. But if you can't help it, that's how things go." **
Mordreona: (Glad I'm not impulsive.)
GM: Ready, folks?
** Lenia nods to Connell, and starts chewing on a thumbnail. Ladylike! **
** Hammer thinks some lizard-skin boots would look great back in the tavern. **
GM: Specifically, Mrugnak?
Mrugnak: As ready as I'm getting.
Mordreona: ?me finds a soft place to sit where she can see.
Narrator: The two combatants step into the ring and begin circling and feinting toward each other.
Mordreona: (( /me wishes she had some dried meat snacks and a bottle of ale.
Narrator: Setherixel stares at Mrugnak, trying to catch his eyes and stare him down.
GM: He's using the initial lull to initiate a staredown. Is Mrugnak joining in?
Mrugnak: Mrugnak has an extremely hairy eyeball. Staring is staring.
Narrator: The lizardmen break into chants and screams, encouraging their champion in their foreign tongue!
Lizardmen: Setherixel [3d6.skill(10,0)] => [5,4,6] = 15 vs (10) or less Failure! by 5 
GM: You're at +1, Mrugnak.
Mrugnak: Fright Check [3d6.frightcheck(10,0+2)] => [3,3,1] = 7 vs (12) or less Success! by 5 Bless +2
** Hammer looks around, confused, and counters with some incoherent babbling of his own. **
Mrugnak: +1
Mrugnak: so success by 6.
GM: [3d6.reaction(-6)] => [3,4,6] + -6 = 7 Poor! The NPC cares nothing for the PCs and acts against them if he can profit by doing so. [B560]
Narrator: Almost instantly, Setherixel breaks contact, jumping back to the edge of the ring and circling warily.
GM: Loser.
** Mrugnak spends the Lull giving Seth the Stink-Eye, and Evaluating him. **
Mrugnak: (( says find the winners margin as if this was a quick contest. Doesn't that mean his penalty is -11? ))
Mrugnak: (( sorry, not familiar with the rule ))
GM: Yes, but it goes away pretty quickly once the fight starts.
Mrugnak: Still pretty awesome.
GM: Yep.
Hammer: "Eye of the Tiger, Champ!"
** Mrugnak snorts and tosses his head, proudly displaying his battle-scarred horn(s, technically, even if one is a stump). **
Narrator: After circling and staring at each other, they both close on each other.

Mrugnak: Feints are resisted with your highest weapon skill, even if you're not using it, right?
GM: Right.
** Mrugnak lunges in and recoils, faking at going for Seth's body to draw his guard down from his face. (Feint, at whatever bonus it is that I have for Evaluating for the Lull - +6?) **
Mrugnak: (( Wrestling feint. ))
GM: +6

GM: Okay, -3 to attack for a grab to the neck.
Hammer: "Grab him...in the Neck!!"
Mrugnak: He's size +1, yes?

Mrugnak: Will (10) [3d6.skill(10,-1+2)] => [5,3,6] = 14 vs (11) or less Failure! by 3 Bless +2
** Lenia leans down to Connell, looking upset and whispering. "The shaman's cheating. A fear spell on Mrugnak. Is there anything you can do about it?" **
GM: Do you just want to take a -3 on all your rolls, or do you want to take your chances with the Fear chart?
Mrugnak: I think I need to berserk first.
Lenia: Or maybe have the Bless break? >.>
GM: Or do you want to lose the Bless?
Lenia: (Which is like a -2 on all rolls, but.)
** Connell whispers back, "I could try to dispel it but... chances are pretty slim. And it'd catch anything else you put on him." **
Hammer: Hearing (10) [3d6.skill(10,0)] => [5,6,2] = 13 vs (10) or less Failure! by 3 
Mordreona: ((take the chart))
Mrugnak: Stunning = dead. Self Control [3d6.roll(15)] => [4,2,3] = 9 vs (15) or less Success! by 6 
GM: You're hit by a Fear-3 effect. You can either risk the chart, or just roll Fear and take a penalty by how much you fail. Which do you prefer? (Or lose the Bless)
** Lenia whispers, "I didn't put anything on him. I'll see if I can dispel it, but it'll take a few seconds and I'll have to be subtle." **
Mrugnak: Chart is stunning and death, no chart.
** Mordreona takes out her lock picks and start to nonchalantly clean them as she watches the fight. **
GM: Roll Fear at -3.
Mrugnak: Fright Check [3d6.frightcheck(10,-3+2)] => [6,1,1] = 8 vs (9) or less Success! by 1 Bless +2

Lizardmen: Break free: [3d6.skill(19,2)] => [2,5,2] = 9 vs (21) or less Success! by 12

Mrugnak: ST (20) [3d6.skill(20,+1+5+2)] => [1,1,6] = 8 vs (28) or less Success! by 20 Bless +2

(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
** Mrugnak commences cranking Seth's neck, with intent to remove his head from his shoulders. (Neck Snap - ST-4 vs higher of ST or HT, Wrestling helps on my roll, probably helps on his) **
GM: Roll it.
Mrugnak: I believe this is Striking ST, as a roll to damage?
Mrugnak: Not really clear on that.
Hammer: "Snap me off a wing!"
GM: No, it's still a Wrestling move, so lifting. If you succeed, damage will be based off Striking.
Mrugnak: Ah, kk.
Mrugnak: ST (20) [3d6.skill(20,-4+1+2)] => [5,3,5] = 13 vs (19) or less Success! by 6 Bless +2

Lenia: This will take several seconds, because it takes a ridiculously long time to cast. >.
Lizardmen: Llethizer the Shoulder Dragon begins hissing.
Lizardmen: GM: (whispering to GM) Flurry [2d6] => [1,3] = (4) => [2,1] => (2, 1) = (3
GM: GM: (whispering to GM) Flurry [2d6] => [5,2] = (7) => [2,1] => (2, 1) = (3
Mrugnak: ...
Mrugnak: I saw that.
Mrugnak: Just FYI.
** Lenia notices the hissing dragon, and stops casting. **
GM: It was originally a 3 - honest!
GM: Do you want to press? Setherixel would like to break!
Mrugnak: Fie on him.
GM: ???
GM: Mrugnak, are you pressing?
Mrugnak: Default Skill Roll [3d6.defaultskill(8,-6,0+2)] => [4,2,4] = 10 vs (4) or less Failure! by 6 Bless +2
Mrugnak: Failing!
Lizardmen: Resist! [3d6.skill(9,-6)] => [5,2,2] = 9 vs (3) or less Failure! by 6 
Mrugnak: That's hillarous.
Mrugnak: I think I actually won that.
Lenia: Can Lenia yell advice to Mrugnak to give him a bonus?
Narrator: Mrugnak recoils suddenly, releasing the lizardman, who retreats back. 
Lenia: Her tactics default is, like, 11.
Mrugnak: Ehehe.
GM: You could have... but you were casting.
Lenia: ** Lenia notices the hissing dragon, and stops casting. **
GM: In reaction to your casting.
Lenia: Yeah. I began casting. The dragon started being NOISY about it, which tells me "I've been caught", so I stopped.
Narrator: The two warriors disengage and circle again...
GM: Actions during the flurry?
Mrugnak: Evaluating.
GM: Position [1d6] => [3] = (3)
** Mordreona Tries not to lose control and leap to her feet chanting Mrugnak... Mrugnak... **
Lenia: Watching the shaman closely for further signs of cheating. I've got Public Speaking-20 and +5 more on reactions from appearance, I'll risk calling him out.
GM: Well, roll Perception+Magery at -7, then.
Lenia: Per: [3d6.skill(12,+4-7)] => [5,3,1] = 9 vs (9) or less Success! by 0 
GM: Nice. He's slow casting again.
Lenia: "Vile magic! Honorable leader, your polluted shaman seeks to foul your traditions! He is offering magical aid to your champion! His soul is twisted, and his cowardice brings you dishonor!"
GM: Huh.
Hammer: "...Yeah!"
GM: Public Speaking at -10
Lenia: Appearance bonus count?
Mordreona: (that girl has got some balls)
GM: Nope.
Lenia: Public Speaking: [3d6.skill(20,-10)] => [5,4,5] = 14 vs (10) or less Failure! by 4

GM: Oh, wait, universal. +2 bonus for appearance...

Lenia: Public Speaking: [3d6.skill(20,-10)] => [5,6,4] = 15 vs (10) or less Failure! by 5 
Lenia: Oh for the love of.
Lenia: 2 CP buys success?
Lenia: +5 for appearance, if it's universal, generally. :P
GM: Hmmmm....
GM: I'll let you pay it.
Lenia: Otherwise I may as well have bought five more levels of Charisma for the same price.
GM: True, true.
GM: Your rules-fu is strong.
Lenia: Thank you. :D
Lenia: So that turns the first roll into 'success by 1'.
Mrugnak: (( does that still require spending Luck? ))
Lenia: ((Worth it if so!))
Lizardmen: The lizardman chief steps forward. "Whats doessss yous ssssays?"
GM: No luck.
Lenia: "Honorable leader, your Shaman seeks to defile the ritual of combat with magic. Worse, he seeks to hide it from you. I swear it to be true, on the souls of my ancestors and the bones of my enemies. He brings you dishonor!"
Lizardmen: Serlz: "Yous makes nos ssssenssses." He glares at the shaman. "Tttthes fights willlls gos ons wittthhs nos mores interrupssshhhions."
Hammer: whispers to Lenia,"Game on, cast like mad."
Lizardmen: Therzerze: "Yessss, greats ones."
Narrator: The two lizardmen begin an angry conversation in lizardman.
GM: Fight continues!
Hammer: whispers to Lenia,"We got your back, sister"
** Lenia glares at the Shaman as the fight continues. **
GM: He's ignoring you because the chief is yelling at him.

Lenia: "He fought with honor and courage, noble leader. Allow me to heal your champion's wounds, as tribute to his power?"
Connell: (( Finish bleeding! ))
Lizardmen: Serlz: "Yours magics cans healllls heres?" He looks at the shaman briefly. "Nos trickerys!"
Lenia: "No trickery, noble leader. My magics are more powerful than those of the foul creature at your side." She strides forward, to stand beside the collapsed champion, staff pointing at him.
Lenia: There's a -3 for the polluted mana - any further penalties I should know about?
GM: No.
Lenia: Major Healing: Shouted Words and Exaggerated Gestures to impress the locals, and taking 2 seconds to cast for an extra +1. [3d6.skill(17,-3+3+1)] => [4,2,2] = 8 vs (18) or less Success! by 10 spending 4 FP to heal 8 HP (16 HP if he has 20 or more).
Narrator: Setherixel gets to his feet, gingerly testing his neck and tonguing the roof of his mouth.
Lenia: Major Healing: again, with the same modifiers and an extra -3 for the second attempt. [3d6.skill(17,-3-3+3+1)] => [3,4,1] = 8 vs (15) or less Success! by 7 for the same amount of healing.
** Lenia leans heavily on her staff, tired now. "Please bring us the humans. We will leave your lands." **
Narrator: The lizardmen lead you to the cage. Harlan is sleeping in the cage, looking plump and well fed. 
Lenia: I bet.
** Lenia coughs loudly, hoping that'll wake him. **
Mrugnak: "Hallo!"
Narrator: Harlan gets to his feet, confused, as the lizardmen open the cage.
Hammer: "Where's Mordreona?"
Lenia: "I'm Lenia Ivars. I'm here to rescue you."
Harlan: "Wha-? Who are you?"
Berkun: "We're not going to eat you...!"
Berkun: Berkun grins
Lenia: "Unlike your hosts. Let's leave, please, before they get upset."
Harlan: "Yes - let's go."
GM: The delvers quickly head away from the camp and notice Mordreona walking amongst them.
GM: Where are you going?
Lenia: I think we're slogging Harlan back to our base camp to leave him with the hirelings and get a good night's rest.
Lenia: And retrieve our camping loads.
Berkun: There's still another landmark we might want to investigate, right? the circle looking thing
Mordreona: "That went well."
Berkun: but indeed, we should go to the camp first
Mordreona: "Can we PLEASE go back to camp now?"
Connell: There's a surviving druid guarded by eagles nearby, but... yeah, deliver the prisoner to home base first.
Lenia: "That went perfectly. Fine fighting, Mrugnak!"
Mordreona: "I say we take him back to town, best to safe."
Berkun: "Glad you are on our side!"
Mordreona: "Yeah, great job big guy."
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak big! Lizard guy not dat big."
Connell: "Horns beat sharp pointy teeth every time."
** Hammer grins and pats Mrugnak on the...lower back **
Mordreona: "Why did we not make the new guy fight?"
Lenia: "We still have to deal with whatever corrupted the druid's grove. And, seemingly, polluted the magic of the entire swamp."
Lenia: "We can't leave for town with that still behind us."
Mordreona: "Could we not spend a few night in a tavern before we do all that Lenia?"
Connell: "The longer we leave this, the worse it gets."
Hammer: "..says the girl who was hiding the whole time," slapping his forehead.
Lenia: "Mordreona - do you really want to walk all the way back to Polisberg, and then come BACK here, on foot again, knowing that it will all lead to slogging through a swamp? Let's get it done as quickly as possible."
Berkun: "Spiders are close by as well..."
Berkun: "They might be behind this... magical corruption"
Lenia: Mark, how many days' travel are we looking at to get back to the base camp, assuming we aren't all walking on air?
Berkun: "We shouldn't leave for the city yet, even if this swamp is a stinking hell"
Mordreona: "OK I guess, but when we get out of this place can we never come back to a swamp again?"
Hammer: "I'm all for finishing this now"
Lenia: "No promises. We go where the adventure takes us."
Mrugnak: "Mordy need boots. Big boots."
GM: It's about 4-5 hours walk. You were just in a hurry.
Mrugnak: (( and we don't like mud. ))
** Mrugnak gestures around his armpit region, which is over Mordreona's head. "Boots up... dere." **
Mrugnak: "Den yous not get der muck in der boots."
Mrugnak: "Swamp pretty good when yous not get der muck in der boots. Deys got der swamp rats."
** Mrugnak smacks his lips contemplatively. **
Mordreona: "I just need some boots to let me walk on air all the time."
Lenia: So we head back to the nice cozy camp with the tent and the survival gear and the hirelings (and the maid!)?
GM: I suppose so.
** Mrugnak thinks on this. "Dere no muck in der air. Dat good too." **
Mordreona: "Well lets get going then."
GM: The delvers walk back to their campsite without incident.
GM: They arrive just before dark. Harlan is not very talkative.
GM: The night is clouded but uneventful.
GM: Everyone who wants to can make Occultism rolls.
Lenia: Wizard!: [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [4,1,1] = 6 vs (15) or less Success! by 9 
Berkun: is there a default? :)
GM: IQ-6.
Mrugnak: -5
Berkun: [3d6.skill(11,-5)] => [1,4,5] = 10 vs (6) or less Failure! by 4 
GM: Right, -5.
Mrugnak: Default Skill Roll [3d6.defaultskill(8,-5,0+2)] => [4,5,2] = 11 vs (5) or less Failure! by 6 Bless +2
Mrugnak: (( I was just looking it up :D ))
whispering to Kevin, Evil stars are converging overhead. The full convergence will be tomorrow night. 
Connell: IQ [3d6.skill(14,-5)] => [6,2,1] = 9 vs (9) or less Success! by 0 
whispering to Connell, Evil stars are converging overhead. The full convergence will be tomorrow night. 
Hammer: "Good, I'm regretting asking for the mud job, now Berkun..."
** Connell stops dead and stares at the sky, "Ooooh nuts." **
Lenia: "Uh, Connell, are you seeing the same stars I'm seeing?"
Berkun: "What's wrong, did a leech get inside your nostrils?"
Connell: "Oh yeah. If someone's going to do something bad, it'll be tomorrow."
Lenia: "No. We need to get to that druid's circle."
Berkun: Berkun asks with utmost sincerity
Lenia: "Like, leaving at first light sort of 'need'."
Mordreona: ((sorry, what time of day is it?))
GM: Night time.
Lenia: ((Nightfall.))
Connell: "Yes. Yes, some definite urgency is called for."
** Mrugnak looks at the sky. **
Lenia: "There's a convergence of evil stars going on. Someone interested in making corrupting magic stronger would be at the height of their power tomorrow night."
Mrugnak: "Uh. Stars pretty?"
Mrugnak: "Stars bad? Stars smart? Huh?"
Lenia: "Stars bad, Mrugnak."
** Mrugnak shakes his fist at the stars. "BAD STARS." **
Hammer: "Whatever. I need a bath and sleep."
Connell: "That'll show 'em."
Berkun: "Those I don't think I can hit with my arrow."
Mordreona: "What is all this crazy talk?"
Berkun: Berkun shakes his head
Berkun: Berkun turns to Mordreona "Connell says that evil stars are on the sky"
Mordreona: "Can we just get drunk and sleep until the sun comes up?"
Berkun: "That the one corrupting the swamp is gaining in power."
Lenia: "You could say that a bad moon is rising."
Mordreona: "I'm not sure but I think Connell is a little batty."
** Mrugnak goes puttering around the camp, setting up his tent here, and periodically stopping to shake his fist at the sky again. **
** Mrugnak stops and looks at Lenia in mid putter. "Dat mean trouble on the way?" **
Mordreona: "Mrugnak would you be a dear and set up my tent too?"
Connell: "What? I can't turn into a bat."
Mordreona: "See what I mean Berkun."
Berkun: "I'm not one to know about magic and stars..."
Lenia: "Just spiders and lizards, clearly."
** Mrugnak sets up Mordreona's tent too. **
Mordreona: "Well me either but, it takes no mage to see Connell is a little crazy."
Mordreona: "Thanks Mrugnak, I'll pick the bugs out of your fur later."
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak got no bugs! Mrugnak got juju thing, scare bugs!"
Lenia: So, we get a good night's sleep, make sure we take a MARCHING load when we head into the swamp this time, and start heading to the druids' circle?
Berkun: "So we'll do."
Connell: "Well Mordreona, you have that effect on me." And he gives her a sly wink. Sigh.
Berkun: Berkun nods to Mordreona "Yes, he is nervous, whatever he saw in those stars..."
Mordreona: ((sorry, I need to AFK for 2 or 3 min. I will follow Lenia's orders as long as I stay somewhat safe.))
GM: Got it. Folks are carrying march loads this time?
Mrugnak: (( mom calling, one sec. ))
Mrugnak: Mrugnak is carrying everything.
Lenia: Lenia's march load is going to have to include some things the porter normally carries.
Berkun: sure
Hammer: My Marching Load is in my QRBP
GM: So where are you guys headed off.
GM: to?
Mrugnak: *everything that is his stuff.
Lenia: Give me two minutes and I'll give you the weight and encumbrance level.
Lenia: And I think we're off to the druid grove.
Berkun: I'll only leave the hatchet, most rations and spare bow
Connell: Druid grove ahoy!
GM: Someone make some navigation rolls to find the Grove in a timely fashion.
Mrugnak: Barbarian! (10) [3d6.skill(10,0+2)] => [5,5,4] = 14 vs (12) or less Failure! by 2 Bless +2 
GM: Actually, 1 person make it and others can help. Who's leading?
Berkun: navigation(land) [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [4,5,3] = 12 vs (12) or less Success! by 0 
GM: Okay....
Berkun: "No, it's that way for sure!"
Mrugnak: Oh, sorry, didn't' see that until I sent it.
GM: Coin flip! Mrugnak=1, Berkun=2 [1d2] => [1] = (1)
Lenia: So Mrugnak is leading and Berkun is helping?
Berkun: hmm, sure
GM: Despite Berkun's best efforts to steer, Mrugnak pushes his way through the swamps with confidence.
GM: Accuracy, not so much.
Mordreona: ((Back))
GM: You make a wide detour around the lizardman village.
GM: You find yourself by the river.
Mordreona: ((I try to get Mrugnak to carry my gear.))
GM: According to Berkun and Mrugnak's best guess, the Grove is across the river from you.
Connell: (( I'll probably cast Pathfinder as soon as I can find the file...
Mordreona: "Will you carry my pack Mrugnak, Please, It is so heavy and you are so strong."
Lenia: ((Are those rocks in the water?))
GM: Sorry, mucking with the map.
Mordreona: ((Do you take my pack Mrugnak?))
Mrugnak: Jeremy, I ICQ'd the Pathfinder spell to you.
Connell: (( I just found it.
Mrugnak: (( eheheh. ))
Narrator: The river oozes sluggishly in front of the delves. A series of rocks marks a potential crude ford to the north. It's hard to tell how deep the flow is in front of you.
Connell: (( Doesn't seem to matter, though
Narrator: It looks like the Grove might be a few hundred east of the ford.
Berkun: "We best be careful and keep a rope handy..."
Berkun: "Who is ready to try and cross?"
Mordreona: (( I tried to talk you into taking my gear so I do not need to carry it.))
Hammer: "I'm ready!"
GM: Berkun estimates it to be about 100 feet across.
** Mrugnak takes Mordreona's backpack and hefts it. ((How heavy is it?)) **
Mordreona: ((Just a small tent and bed roll.))
GM: About 15 lbs.
Berkun: 40 yards of rope here
Mrugnak: psh.
Mrugnak: Mrugnak casually stuffs Mordreona's pack in his large backpack.
Hammer: ((enough to span the river))
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak got rope."
Mordreona: "Guys, what are we about to do?"
Hammer: "I can take one end of your rope, but wait til I'm safely across before you follow"
Berkun: "Right..."
** Hammer ties off the rope to his sword belt **
Mordreona: "What about walk on air?"
GM: Did I say oozing? I meant "swiftly flowing"
Lenia: "We're about to cross this river with a rope and a prayer."
GM: Sorry, just checked my notes.
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak got rope. Mrugnak got hook ting."
Lenia: "Walking on air would exhaust me nearly completely, Mordreona, and we have no idea how deadly whatever's on the other side will be."
Lenia: "Those rocks shouldn't be any problem for you."
** Mrugnak digs out a grappling hook and some spidersilk line. **
Mordreona: "How about just I gat walk on air then?"
Mordreona: gat=get
Hammer: "Mrugnak, after I cross, you can serve as an anchor on this side"
** Lenia tests the depth at the shoreline with her staff. **
** Mrugnak examines Berkun's rope. Is it at all strong enough for him? **
GM: It's about 3 feet deep at the shore, but it looks deeper in the center. It looks about 3' deep along the ford.
** Mrugnak is strong enough to hock a grappling hook 70 YARDS. **
Berkun: 3/8 rope
Mordreona: "I think it would be wise to have someone (points at self) who could grab whomever might fall in the river. I am the fastest."
GM: (Okay, not much of a ford, but there's some rocks and stuff)
Hammer: "It doesn't have to support your whole weight, just keep you from drifting in the current"
GM: What the heck is the plan?
Hammer: "But then, I'm no engineer.."
Mrugnak: We don't know yet. :D
Mordreona: "Best to give me that walk on air spell."
Lenia: ((You have PERFECT BALANCE. You CAN'T FALL.))
Hammer: I attempt to cross with the rope tied to my belt
** Mrugnak holds on to the other end. **
** Mordreona watches to see Hammer get eaten. **
GM: Hammer, make a Perception roll.
Lenia: I think the plan is for Hammer to fall in, need rescuing, get Mordreona to skip across like it was a city street and secure the rope on the other side, and then the rest of us cross with the help of the rope. >.>
Hammer: Per (10) [3d6.skill(10,0)] => [1,4,6] = 11 vs (10) or less Failure! by 1 
Lenia: Or maybe that's just how I see this going.
GM: Keep going.
Mordreona: "Not sure I'm going in there."
Hammer: ((unless there's a tree over there to tie it to you'll need me to hold it))
Hammer: Per?
GM: Make a jump roll to get to the next rock.
Hammer: Jumping (15) [3d6.skill(15,-1)] => [1,3,5] = 9 vs (14) or less Success! by 5 
GM: Next one is easy. Keep moving.
GM: Anyone else can be doing whatever they want.
Hammer: Jumping (15) [3d6.skill(15,-1)] => [5,1,3] = 9 vs (14) or less Success! by 5 
GM: Making Perception rolls at -5 would help.
Hammer: Jumping (15) [3d6.skill(15,-1)] => [5,6,1] = 12 vs (14) or less Success! by 2 
** Lenia is busy casting Missile Shield on herself, taking her time about it. **
** Mrugnak is holding onto his end of the rope! **
Hammer: Jumping (15) [3d6.skill(15,-1)] => [2,6,4] = 12 vs (14) or less Success! by 2 
** Mordreona cheers Hammer. **
Hammer: Jumping (15) [3d6.skill(15,-1)] => [2,2,6] = 10 vs (14) or less Success! by 4 
Hammer: Jumping (15) [3d6.skill(15,-1)] => [1,6,4] = 11 vs (14) or less Success! by 3 
GM: Nope, a 3 yard standing jump is at a penalty - you're in the drunk!
GM: drink!
** Mordreona laughs **
Hammer: oh?
** Mrugnak holds onto the rope? **
Hammer: 2 yds?
Mordreona: "What was he wearing again?"
GM: Looked like 3 to me.
Hammer: It was. didn't know about penalty
Lenia: Missile Shield: +2 for extra time, -5 for FP cost 1/0, +1 for firm gestures. [3d6.skill(18,-3-5+1+2)] => [2,1,6] = 9 vs (13) or less Success! by 4 
Narrator: Hammer jumps from rock to rock, then lands short in a massive splash. Nearby rocks suddenly surge out of the water, revealing a huge, rotting water lizard that is nonetheless moving.
** Mrugnak hauls on Hammer's rope? **
Mordreona: "He made it a long way tho."
GM: Lenia, Connell - casting is at -4 for Lowish Mana/death magic corruption. Unless you embrace the corruptions.
** Mordreona claps. **
Hammer: " ..gulp...PULL MRUGNAK!....cant'....swim....."
Mrugnak: ST (20) [3d6.skill(20,0+2)] => [5,1,3] = 9 vs (22) or less Success! by 13 Bless +2
Water Lizard: Surprise attack! [3d6.skill(14,4-2)] => [6,3,4] = 13 vs (16) or less Success! by 3 Telegraphed!
Lenia: ((Your call on whether that happens before I get the 10 seconds of casting off, Mark, though I make it even with the increased penalty.))
Mordreona: "This could be nasty."
GM: Hammer can defend at -4, Stunned. A SM2 Gator/crocodile thing just bit at him.
Hammer: Block (12) [3d6.skill(12,+5+-4)] => [1,3,4] = 8 vs (13) or less Success! by 5 
Hammer: is it in front?
GM: By the way, you're at -4 to attacks, -2 to defenses, can't retreat, as long as you're in the water.
GM: No, right side. It's on the map.
Hammer: can't block then
b>GM</b>: Right side, not right flank!
Hammer: quick draw sword penalty?
Mordreona: "Best we not have to split the cut so many ways."
Hammer: ok
Lenia: Oooh, plural.

GM: Berkun?
Berkun: here
Hammer: ((the river flowing downward?))
Berkun: I was away, sorry, just here
GM: The river is flowing.
Mrugnak: Top to bottom, as per the map?
Mrugnak: Or bottom to top.
Berkun: all out attack at the lizard...
Mrugnak: (North to south, or south to north?)
GM: To the north.
Berkun: fast draw barbed [3d6] => [2,3,5] = (10) fast load [3d6] => [3,3,2] = (8)
GM: From bottom to top.
Mordreona: "I think you are going to catch something Mrugnak. Should I help you pull it in?"
GM: -6 for range, +2 for size, -4 for it being in close combat with Hammer.
Berkun: right
Berkun: vitals shot [3d6.skill(19,2+3+2-6-4-3)] => [3,3,1] = 7 vs (13) or less Success! by 6 
Berkun: by 7 actually, since it's AOA
Water Lizard: Dodge [3d6.skill(10,-2)] => [6,5,2] = 13 vs (8) or less Failure! by 5 flanked!
GM: Damage?
Berkun: [1d6+6] => [5,6] = (11) impaling
Berkun: heh, not bad
GM: Your arrow penetrates the massive hide, but strangely, no blood spurts out.
GM: Oops, my bad. Your arrow bounces off the massive hide.
Berkun: oh
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak) 
Lenia: !!
Mrugnak: Massive is a good word.
Connell: "Wuh oh." He moves downstream closer to Berkun and the horrible monster.
Mordreona: "This guy is great (points at Hammer). Most people, you would have to talk them into trying that."
GM: Hey, I asked if people were doing anything, but you guys liked the starting positions.
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia)

Mrugnak: ST (20) [3d6.skill(20,0+2)] => [2,3,5] = 10 vs (22) or less Success! by 12 Bless +2
Mrugnak: On the assumption that a ST roll is involved.
GM: You guys are using Berkun's 3/8" cord?
Mrugnak: Yus. Not going to go very well.
Mrugnak: Depending on how muh water helps.
Mrugnak: It's supporting him somewhat, so that's nice.
GM: That supports 300 lbs? Which is 15 lbs less than Hammer with gear?
Mrugnak: *shrug* Mrugnak doesn't do materials stress. Rope makes a HT roll or something?
GM: Yeah, about. [3d6.skill(10,0)] => [2,2,3] = 7 vs (10) or less Success! by 3 
Hammer: ((No engineer..we need an engineer...))
GM: Holds for now.
Mrugnak: Do I move Hammer? :D
GM: Hammer is pulled back 1 yard, and must rull DX-4 or fall over.
Mrugnak: [240+74+232.5] => 546.5
Mrugnak: (( I'm helping! ))
Hammer: acrobatics help?
Hammer: acro))

Mrugnak: Nice!
Mrugnak: Unarmed critmiss!
GM: [3d6.crit_unarm()] => [4,5,4] = 13 You drop your guard: all defenses -2 for the next turn & any Evaluate bonus or Feint penalties against you are doubled. This is obvious to those around you. [B557]
GM: You smack it in the face with your shield.
Hammer: damage roll?
GM: Uhm... you forgot the -2 penalty for being in the water. The one I *specifically* mentioned.
GM: No critical success.
Hammer: ok
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Morderona 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Mordreona: I move and help Mrugnak pull.
Mordreona: ###
GM: Uhm... someone figure the ST from their combined BL.

Berkun: I still get the bonus for accuracy if I aoa, right?

GM: Thanks! Damage?
Hammer: hit shield?
Berkun: [1d6+6] => [1,6] = (7) impaling
Lenia: Hey, Impaling is only x1 on a limb!
Lenia: That's, like, a good spot to accidentally shoot your friend.
Berkun: I meant to say it just now:)
Hammer: 5DR
Mordreona: "Ouch, poor guy. I'll miss him."

Hammer: SM bonus?
GM: But +2 for size. Net is -13.
Hammer: Shield is -2
GM: Shield DB is 3. Close combat penalty is DB.
GM: I thought, anyway.
Mrugnak: Large shields are an additional -2
Mrugnak: I think
GM: He has Shield Wall Training.
Mrugnak: P547 has "Wearing a shield in close combat: -DB of shield"
Hammer: thats for defender, -2 for attack...checking
Mrugnak: Ah, so just -DB
Mrugnak: No, that's attacker.
Mrugnak: Melee Attack Modifiers.
Hammer: oh it's close combat
Mrugnak: Defender does not get hard to hit.
