AOP 007

[7:20 PM] The Blue Scale: So, previously.

[7:20 PM] The Blue Scale: You guys arrived at Scuttler's Island, seemingly the first ones to make it there.  Or, at least, you did not see another ship nearby.

[7:22 PM] The Blue Scale: Upon arriving, you guys took a rowboat out to the island as the ship could go no closer.  Saiph then spoke to the two orcas guarding the island to allow you guys to enter.

[7:22 PM] The Blue Scale: Upon arriving on the island

[7:23 PM] The Blue Scale: You guys met a marooned sailor bard, Cyranus Cerridwin.  He is struggling to play a flute with a hook hand.

[7:24 PM] Coppelia: ((HES DOING HIS BEST))

[7:24 PM] Entropy: ((He has had 30 years to practice and still can't.))

[7:24 PM] The Blue Scale: ((It's been a rough 30 years))

[7:25 PM] The Blue Scale: He's been following you guys, watching with fascination, as you met with the island's "natives".  Modron.  The multiverse's best bureaucrats.

[7:25 PM] Jaden: ((Internal Screaming))

[7:25 PM] Entropy: ((Fun!))

[7:28 PM] The Blue Scale: So, after gathering information, you learned that you needed to find someone named Nomad-047, which means you first need to find Cosine-060, whose location is only known by Tangent 020, and the location of Tangent 020 is hidden in a well, the location of which could only be gleaned by going to a different office and filling out paperwork in triplicate.

[7:28 PM] Jaden: ((AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA))

[7:28 PM] Entropy: ((There was another step but the DM forgot about it.))

[7:29 PM] The Blue Scale: ((...yes, I did.  Oh well.))

[7:29 PM] The Blue Scale: But, in gathering that information, you also learned of another Modron, named S088.  He has shown signs of free will and higher thought.

[7:30 PM] The Blue Scale: For these crimes, he's been locked away.  Which Olenna would not stand for.  So, she set about a mission to SPEAK TO THE MANAGER!

[7:31 PM] Saiph: is having the worse day and is getting a bit twitchy.(edited)

[7:31 PM] The Blue Scale: The manager, in this case, turned out to be COG-001, who was eventually persuaded to  let you speak to him after Olenna spoke with him.

[7:31 PM] The Blue Scale: While that went on, Entropy and Coppelia broke away to do the paperwork.  This was completed and they were about to go regroup.

[7:33 PM] The Blue Scale: So, for my sake, I'm saying you all meet up at Unit 14.

[7:34 PM] Entropy: is rather more cheerful than she has been.

[7:34 PM] Olenna: explains what happened to the others.

[7:34 PM] Coppelia: Follows Entropy, rubbing at an ink stain on her hand with her sleeve

[7:34 PM] Entropy: pulls out the map to well -2.

[7:35 PM] Entropy: “So we are going to have two of these delightful individuals joining us?”(edited)

[7:35 PM] The Blue Scale: Cyranus blows into his flute, letting out a high-pitched whine.

[7:36 PM] Coppelia: Golf claps encouragingly

[7:37 PM] Entropy:  turns to Copellia “ you are quite good at paperwork.”

[7:37 PM] Saiph: pulls out a hideous scarf that can only be called a scarf because it doesn't look like any other piece of clothing.  "I learned to knit.  That's how long it took."

[7:38 PM] Jaden: is just rubbing his forehead

[7:38 PM] The Blue Scale: Goldie eyes the scarf with definite intent of destruction.

[7:38 PM] Coppelia: She scribbles out No tendons or muscles means my hands don’t get tired

[7:38 PM] The Blue Scale: The Pentadrone knocks on the side of the unit and a wall slides open.

[7:38 PM] Olenna: That's pretty.

[7:38 PM] Pip: "Oh that's neat! What sort of fiber did you use?"

[7:38 PM] Entropy: ((How many colors is the scarf?))

[7:40 PM] Olenna: Is it a piece of art, or does it have a purpose?

[7:41 PM] The Blue Scale: From the darkness of the building, you hear the sound of a small clanging coming up.

[7:41 PM] Saiph: ((Fourteen.))

[7:41 PM] Saiph: It's a scarf.  It's to keep you warm.  I made it out of some kind of yarn.

[7:41 PM] Entropy: It looks really good.

[7:42 PM] The Blue Scale: From the dark, you see a small sphere hopping on one metal foot.  The sphere has one big eye and mouth and two small arms at two sides.

[7:42 PM] Olenna: Hello.

[7:42 PM] Saiph: Thanks.  Making it kept me from burning everything down.

[7:43 PM] Olenna: I'm sure you wouldn't've burned everything down.

[7:43 PM] Olenna: ... some things are metal.

[7:43 PM] Entropy: Imagine if they actually had a purpose and not just busywork.

[7:43 PM] The Blue Scale: Pentadrone: "S088, you are to be held in the custody of these people.  You may choose to leave with them or return to the cell.  Your cooperation is appreciated."

[7:43 PM] The Blue Scale: S088 lets out a small hiss.

[7:43 PM] Saiph: Metal burns if you yell at it enough.

[7:44 PM] Coppelia: Holds up her introduction page to the slot

[7:47 PM] The Blue Scale: S088: "...this is your designation?  ...Coppelia.  Lovely.  ...who are you?  Am I to be made into scrap metal?"

[7:47 PM] Coppelia: Shakes her head and scribbles again Not at all. We request your assistance

[7:48 PM] Entropy: Also, felt you would prefer not to be imprisoned.

[7:48 PM] The Blue Scale: S088: "...assistance with what?"

[7:49 PM] Olenna: We're trying to help someone protect a magical artifact.

[7:49 PM] Coppelia: We think you could help us greatly, if you’re willing

[7:49 PM] The Blue Scale: S088: "...Module 1.49971."

[7:50 PM] Entropy: Yes.

[7:50 PM] The Blue Scale: S088: "All Modrons have been given directives to not interfere with Module 1.49971."

[7:50 PM] The Blue Scale: He smiles.  "So, I'd be happy to help however I can."

[7:51 PM] Jaden: looks at him  "I like this one"

[7:51 PM] Olenna: Help isn't interfering anyway, really.

[7:51 PM] Entropy: Depends on how you define interfering.

[7:51 PM] Olenna: Honestly, we heard you wanted people to be individuals and thought you might like it better to be somewhere other than here.

[7:51 PM] The Blue Scale: S088: "...that does sound pretty nice.  ...but they'll all still be trapped in their programming."

[7:52 PM] Coppelia: Scribbles But it’s a start

[7:52 PM] Pip: "You'll almost certainly be in a better position to free them if you're free, yourself."

[7:53 PM] Olenna: They seem happy enough.

[7:53 PM] The Blue Scale: S088: "...true.  Ok.  Yes.  This sounds good."

[7:53 PM] Olenna: Some people are just like that, you know.

[7:53 PM] Entropy: They are.

[7:53 PM] The Blue Scale: S088: "They don't even know the option is there.  They have no choice but to be happy."

[7:54 PM] Olenna: No?

[7:55 PM] The Blue Scale: S088: "But, as you said, I can't help from in there.  So, I'll go with you...and see what happens from there."

[7:55 PM] Entropy: Sounds good to me.

[7:55 PM] Coppelia: Tilts her head then writes Shall we call you S088 or do you prefer another name?

[7:57 PM] The Blue Scale: S088: "I have been considering the name Sam.  It feels...more personable."

[7:57 PM] Jaden: ((:D))

[7:57 PM] The Blue Scale: ((,....oh....uh....that was not intentional, but...if you're cool with it.  ))(edited)

[7:57 PM] Entropy: Renaming is a good thing after a change.

[7:57 PM] Coppelia: Uses Prestidigitation to write Sam in sparkles and nods

[7:58 PM] Jaden: ((I Approve :D))

1

[7:58 PM] Olenna: It's very nice.

[7:58 PM] Jaden: Nice to meet you Sam, lets get to work

[7:58 PM] Olenna: Why do you think you're not like the other modrons?

[7:58 PM] Entropy: will look at the map to Well 2.

[7:59 PM] The Blue Scale: Sam: "I'm not sure.  I wonder if it involved the summoning spell that brought us here."

[7:59 PM] Pip: "Good choice. I think I knew a guy named Sam. Or ossibly a gal. Probably either, depending on the day."

[7:59 PM] Entropy: What was the summoning spell like.

[8:00 PM] The Blue Scale: Sam: "A mass scale plane shift.  It involved a massive summoning circle.  We were initially most distressed but...we have adapted."

[8:00 PM] Olenna: ((12 insight.))

[8:01 PM] Olenna: Goodness.

[8:01 PM] Jaden: ((Would a Summoning that massive be something people would have heard about?))

[8:01 PM] Olenna: Who was responsible, do you know?

[8:02 PM] The Blue Scale: ((You can roll history.))

[8:02 PM] The Blue Scale: Olenna Far as you can tell, he is being genuine in his description.

[8:02 PM] Jaden: ((14 on history))

[8:03 PM] The Blue Scale: Jaden Such spells are very rare, but not unheard of.  The most famous such spell would be the Fiend King using planar magic to open a portal and summon his army.

[8:04 PM] Jaden: ((Ok))

[8:05 PM] The Blue Scale: Ephrim: "This spell sounds like Zano's work.  She was one of the nine, majored in Conjuration.  Possible she brought everyone here for a purpose."

[8:05 PM] Entropy: She is the one who they named who set module 1.49771.

[8:06 PM] Entropy: Should we head to the next location?

[8:06 PM] Jaden: Yeah lets go

[8:06 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok, so you guys follow the map towards the well.

[8:07 PM] The Blue Scale: As you do, you head further and further inland and you notice that the Modron homes exist...but you see no modron on the streets anymore.  Infact...you're no longer seeing anyone on the streets at this juncture.

[8:08 PM] Olenna: Where is everyone?

[8:08 PM] Pip: Pip seems especially on edge.

"Oh this feels bad. Like we're walking into a mugging."

[8:09 PM] Entropy: Better places to stage an ambush.

[8:09 PM] The Blue Scale: If people want to, you may arrange your pieces in roll20.

[8:10 PM] Coppelia: ((Can you repost the Roll20 link?))

[8:10 PM] Entropy: ((Is the well in front of us?))

[8:11 PM] The Blue Scale: It is.  As you approach you all see the well in front of you.  A "2" marked on the front of it.

[8:11 PM] The Blue Scale: It seems like a plain stone well.

[8:12 PM] Pip: [I am here but cannot move pieces. The chat takes up all my screen space.

[8:12 PM] Jaden: walks forward and looks at the well

[8:13 PM] Entropy: does as well.

[8:13 PM] The Blue Scale: ((I can move anyone who has trouble.))(edited)

[8:13 PM] Coppelia: ((Yeah it’s hard for me to move stuff on my phone))

[8:14 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Just say where you wanna be.))

[8:14 PM] The Blue Scale: Jaden and Entropy, roll investigation.

[8:14 PM] Pip: Pip is keeping watch.

[8:14 PM] Olenna: ((I wanna be by Saiph and preferably not in the front.))

[8:14 PM] Coppelia: Coppelia stands near Sam

[8:14 PM] Olenna: ((I don't  know how to change the image on there or how to move it.))

[8:14 PM] Jaden: ((11 Investigation))

[8:15 PM] Entropy: ((16 invstigation))

[8:16 PM] The Blue Scale: Jaden Looking in, you can't see much but darkness.

[8:16 PM] The Blue Scale: @Olenna If you go into your character sheet and change the image, you should see it change on the token.

[8:17 PM] The Blue Scale: Entropy Peering into the dakrness, you see a glint of something along the side.

[8:18 PM] Entropy: Boredom check out that thing on the side.

[8:18 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Don't worry too much about the map.  I can keep track of it.  You guys just tell me what you wanna do and when.))

[8:18 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom peers down.  "Why've I gotta?"

[8:18 PM] Entropy: You have wings.

[8:18 PM] Jaden: And Because I can't see anything

[8:19 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom grumbles but flies in.  A little further...a little further...when both Entropy and Jaden, looking in...see the well looking back.  A large yellow eye appears in the center of it.

[8:19 PM] Jaden: Ah Shit

[8:20 PM] The Blue Scale: Tentacles reach out to grab hold of Boredom.

[8:20 PM] Entropy: Come back Boredom.

[8:20 PM] Olenna: ((Didn't work.))

[8:20 PM] Saiph: Welp.

[8:21 PM] Olenna: ... is that normal?

[8:21 PM] Coppelia: Tilts head and shrug

[8:21 PM] The Blue Scale: ((There, should be good now.  And you're by Saiph.))

[8:21 PM] The Blue Scale: Can I get initiative rolls?

[8:22 PM] Saiph: I don't think so?  I think wells are usually for getting water and not tentacle soup.

[8:22 PM] Saiph: ((11.))

[8:22 PM] Jaden: ((11 Initiative))

[8:22 PM] Coppelia: ((15))

[8:23 PM] Olenna: ((20.))

[8:23 PM] Olenna: Oh, good.

[8:24 PM] Pip: [16]

[8:25 PM] Entropy: ((13))(edited)

[8:25 PM] Pip: Pip is thoroughly spooked!

[8:26 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Ok, I believe Boredom also acts on Entropy's turn, so that's it.))(edited)

[8:27 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok, so, @Olenna You go first.

[8:27 PM] The Blue Scale: You see the tentacles coming up after Boredom.

[8:27 PM] Olenna: ((Does it seem hostile?))

[8:27 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Extremely.))

[8:28 PM] The Blue Scale: ((You are 55 feet away, for the record.))

[8:30 PM] Olenna: casts a spell at it, but misses.

[8:31 PM] Olenna: ((That's it.))

[8:31 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok.

[8:31 PM] The Blue Scale: @Pip

[8:31 PM] The Blue Scale: You are up.

[8:32 PM] The Blue Scale: ....you are not here, so I'll have Sam go and we'll circle back to her.

[8:32 PM] The Blue Scale: Oh, nevermind, she's back.

[8:32 PM] The Blue Scale: @Pip You here?

[8:34 PM] Pip: Pip attempts to skedaddle over and fire an eldritch blast at the tentacle beastie. She is no less spooked.

[8:34 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok, roll it.

[8:35 PM] Jaden: ((WHOA))

[8:35 PM] Saiph: (Anxiety crit?)

[8:35 PM] Jaden: ((Panic Doubled the Damage))

[8:36 PM] Pip: "Leave him alone, you betentacled beast!"

[8:37 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Ok.  Can you also roll intimidation for me, for fun?  ))

[8:38 PM] Pip: [5 with nat 1]

[8:39 PM] The Blue Scale: You see it squeal from the pain, but it does not seem to take notice of you, otherwise.

[8:39 PM] The Blue Scale: Now, Sam will go.

[8:39 PM] The Blue Scale: ((In game Sam, not Sam Bagel.))

[8:40 PM] Jaden: ((I was confused for a sec XD))

[8:40 PM] The Blue Scale: S088 will pick up a rock and chuck it at the tentacle.

[8:41 PM] The Blue Scale: He hits for another 4 points of damage.

[8:41 PM] The Blue Scale: @Coppelia You are up.

[8:42 PM] Coppelia: Coppelia steps forward with an elaborate sweep of her foot, and with a series of complex hand motions she casts Cloud of Daggers over the creature

[8:43 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok, so that's 5 foot cube.

[8:43 PM] Coppelia: ((You fill the air with spinning daggers in a cube 5 feet on each side, centered on a point you choose within range. A creature takes 4d4 slashing damage when it enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there.))

[8:44 PM] Coppelia: Also as a bonus action she turns to @Olenna swirls her hands and gives her bardic inspiration

[8:44 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok, @Olenna You have a bardic inspiration.

[8:44 PM] Olenna: ((Nice!))

[8:44 PM] Olenna: smiles.

[8:44 PM] The Blue Scale: @Coppelia What die is that right now?

[8:45 PM] Coppelia: ((1d6))

[8:45 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok, and roll 4d4 for the cloud.

[8:45 PM] Coppelia: ((8 points damage))

[8:46 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok, it takes it.

[8:46 PM] Coppelia: ((Woo!))

[8:46 PM] The Blue Scale: @Entropy You are up.

[8:48 PM] The Blue Scale: @Entropy ?

[8:48 PM] Entropy: (9Both me and Boredom are in reach of the tentacles?))

[8:49 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Yes, and so is Jaden.))

[8:50 PM] Entropy: /me will cast mirror image and use my bonus action for Boredom to do a sting attack.

[8:51 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok.

[8:51 PM] The Blue Scale: Roll the sting attack with Boredom's stats.

[8:52 PM] Entropy: ((21 to hit))

[8:52 PM] The Blue Scale: Also, where once you guys all saw one Entropy...there are now four.

[8:52 PM] The Blue Scale: That hits.

[8:52 PM] Entropy: ((DC 14 con save))

[8:53 PM] The Blue Scale: ((12.  So, it fails.))

[8:54 PM] Entropy: ((6piercing, 11 poison))(edited)

[8:55 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok.  It did not like that.

[8:56 PM] The Blue Scale: @Saiph You are up.

[8:56 PM] Saiph: Saiph, who has, at this point, been just trying to not burn the island down, conjures up a tiny sun in the form of a flaming sphere and drops it into the well, on top of the beasty.(edited)

[8:57 PM] The Blue Scale: Cool, how big is the sphere?

[8:57 PM] Saiph: (Five feet.)

[8:58 PM] The Blue Scale: What's the DC for the save?

[8:58 PM] Saiph: ((14.))

[8:59 PM] Saiph: ((Dex.))

[8:59 PM] The Blue Scale: ...it rolled a 3.

[8:59 PM] Saiph: ((10 fire damage.))

[8:59 PM] The Blue Scale: It's looking pretty pissed off now.

[9:00 PM] The Blue Scale: That all?

[9:00 PM] Saiph: ((That's what I've got.))

[9:00 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok.  @Jaden You are up.

[9:00 PM] Jaden: ((Quick question, if i move to the spot i'm about to ping on the map, will i be technically flanking with Entropy?))

[9:01 PM] The Blue Scale: No.

[9:01 PM] The Blue Scale: You'd have to move to the upper right corner of it to flank with Entropy.

[9:01 PM] The Blue Scale: Which you can do.

[9:02 PM] Jaden: ((I'm doing that))

[9:02 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok.

[9:03 PM] The Blue Scale: ....do you do anything else?

[9:03 PM] Jaden: looks at this thing and goes  "This, This i know what to do"  He touches his necklace, which glows under his shirt, then runs his hand over his Hammer as it seems to Thrum with Sound.  Bonus Action casting Thunderous Smite and then i Swing down

[9:03 PM] Jaden: ((Advantage with Flanking?))

[9:03 PM] The Blue Scale: Yep.

[9:03 PM] The Blue Scale: And yep.

[9:04 PM] Jaden: ((9.....are you kidding me?))

[9:04 PM] The Blue Scale: I am afraid that as you swing at a cluster of tentacles, it shrinks away and you hit well, instead.

[9:05 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Sorry, buddy.))

[9:05 PM] Jaden: ((Luckily the Smite doesn't go away until i drop Concentration OR Hit))

[9:05 PM] Jaden: ((Freaking Turn))

[9:05 PM] The Blue Scale: Ephrim for his turn will run up, cast Mage Armor on himself...and do nothing else.

[9:06 PM] The Blue Scale: ...so now the tentacles go.

[9:06 PM] The Blue Scale: So...the mass of tentacles lifts itself out of the well and is going to swarm over there.

[9:07 PM] The Blue Scale: Entropy, Boredom and Sam088 get smothered by tentacles.  Jaden, you get an attack of opportunity.

[9:07 PM] Jaden: ((10))

[9:07 PM] The Blue Scale: No, you were still flanking.  So you do get adv.  That's a 25 and a hit.

[9:08 PM] Entropy: (9Did the tentacles take knives and sun damage at start of their turn?))

[9:08 PM] The Blue Scale: ((...oh, no.  They did not.))(edited)

[9:09 PM] The Blue Scale: ((So, that's 2d6 from the sphere and 4d4 from the daggers.))

[9:09 PM] The Blue Scale: It takes 14 damage total from all that.

[9:10 PM] Jaden: ((7 Bludgeoning Damage, 6 Thunder Damage and it needs to make a DC13 Str Save))

[9:10 PM] The Blue Scale: ((9))

[9:10 PM] Saiph: ((9 damage from the sphere.))

[9:10 PM] Jaden: ((That is a Fail, it is Pushed 10 feet away from me and knocked Prone))

[9:11 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok @Coppelia Do you wanna roll 4d4 damage, or should I?))

[9:11 PM] The Blue Scale: ((I am afraid it is immune to the prone condition, but it is pushed 10 feet.  Where would you like to push it?))

[9:11 PM] Jaden: ((Up Away from Entropy if Possible))

[9:11 PM] Coppelia: ((I rolled 13))

[9:12 PM] The Blue Scale: ((ok.  and ok.))

[9:12 PM] The Blue Scale: Given all that, it's tactics change.

[9:12 PM] The Blue Scale: It moves there, just out of the daggers and sphere and will attack Jaden.

[9:13 PM] The Blue Scale: Does an 18 hit?

[9:13 PM] Jaden: ((It matches so it hits))

[9:14 PM] The Blue Scale: ...how many HP do you have?

[9:14 PM] Jaden: ((Total?))

[9:14 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Yes))

[9:14 PM] Jaden: ((39))

[9:14 PM] The Blue Scale: ...it rolled 48 damage.

[9:15 PM] Jaden: ((well i'm not killed Outright))

[9:15 PM] Saiph: YAY.))

[9:15 PM] Jaden: ((But i AM down))

[9:15 PM] The Blue Scale: ((No, which is good.))

[9:15 PM] The Blue Scale: You guys watch as the tentacles wrap around and crush the life out of Jaden until he falls unconscious.  His body is being pulled into the mass of tentacles.

[9:15 PM] The Blue Scale: @Olenna It is back to you.

[9:15 PM] The Blue Scale: Remember, you have a d6 you can add to your attack roll.

[9:16 PM] Olenna: ((Can I get the tentacle thing without hitting Jaden?))

[9:17 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Yes.  It's very big, and away from the others right now.))

[9:18 PM] Olenna: tries another spell.

[9:18 PM] The Blue Scale: You may need to move a bit closer, but that shouldn't be too big a problem.

[9:19 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok...what spell?

[9:19 PM] Olenna: ((Roll a Dex save.))(edited)

[9:19 PM] The Blue Scale: ((10))

[9:20 PM] Olenna: castss Snilloc's Snowball Swarm at it, carefully avoiding Jaden.

[9:20 PM] Olenna: ((11 damage.))

[9:20 PM] Olenna: ((Also, an ice cream headache.))

[9:20 PM] The Blue Scale: You watch as 3 of the tentacles freeze, atrphy and fall off.(edited)

[9:20 PM] The Blue Scale: It's in dire straits, but still up and roaring.

[9:21 PM] The Blue Scale: @Pip Your turn.

[9:23 PM] Pip: Pip uses Healing Light to sling a d6 of healing Jaden's way.

[9:24 PM] Pip: [4]

[9:24 PM] The Blue Scale: Jaden, you awake in the clutches of this nightmare.

[9:24 PM] Jaden: ((I LIVE!))

[9:25 PM] The Blue Scale: @Pip Anything else, or is that it?

[9:27 PM] Pip: [Oh right that's a bonus action aaa.]

[9:28 PM] Pip: Pip will attempt to shoot it with another wldritch blast. She does not seem all too confident in her ability to manifest lasers.

[9:28 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok, roll it.

[9:29 PM] The Blue Scale: That hits.  Roll damage.

[9:30 PM] Pip: [6. Forgot the +4]

[9:30 PM] The Blue Scale: It seems to be barely holding together...but it is.

[9:30 PM] The Blue Scale: Sam088 will run over and attempt to free Jaden, though.

[9:31 PM] The Blue Scale: ...he rolled a 2...so...that doesn't work.

[9:31 PM] The Blue Scale: @Coppelia Your turn.

[9:32 PM] Coppelia: ((I’m not sure if it’s in the description but can I move the cloud of daggers?))

[9:32 PM] The Blue Scale: I don't believe you can.

[9:33 PM] Coppelia: ((Ok no problem))

[9:34 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Do you wanna cast something else?))

[9:35 PM] Coppelia: Coppelia moves within 15 feet of the creature. She pulls aside her cloak and takes out a wound ribbon with a dark pink leather handle. She twirls it in a lovely pattern but suddenly flick of her wrist creates a loud crack, which casts Thunderwave

[9:36 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok.

[9:37 PM] Coppelia: ((I’m gonna need a DC 13 con saving throw))

[9:37 PM] The Blue Scale: Fail.

[9:37 PM] The Blue Scale: Roll full damage.

[9:37 PM] Coppelia: ((FUCK 3 points damage. And he’s pushed 10 feet away))

[9:38 PM] The Blue Scale: He is, somehow, still alive.

[9:38 PM] The Blue Scale: @Entropy Your move.

[9:38 PM] Entropy: (9does that free Jaden/))

[9:38 PM] Coppelia: ((OH WAIT))

[9:38 PM] The Blue Scale: Um...Jaden, make a STR saving throw.  With adv.

[9:39 PM] Coppelia: ((I also want to give Jaden bardic inspiration))

[9:39 PM] Jaden: ((21))

[9:39 PM] Jaden: ((Thank you))

[9:39 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Jaden is wrenched free as the mass is blasted away.))(edited)

[9:40 PM] Olenna: winces.

[9:40 PM] Entropy: (( Can Entropy move to the top of the well and can Boredom reach the tentacles?))

[9:41 PM] The Blue Scale: Yes and yes.

[9:41 PM] Coppelia: Signs “sorry”

[9:42 PM] Entropy: ((19 for Boredoms attack.))

[9:42 PM] The Blue Scale: That hits.

[9:42 PM] The Blue Scale: Another sting?

[9:43 PM] Entropy: ((Yeah , dc 14 con save))

[9:43 PM] The Blue Scale: It passes this time with a 15.

[9:43 PM] The Blue Scale: Roll damage.

[9:45 PM] Entropy: (( 5 piercing and 10 poison which halves to 5. so 10 total damage))

[9:45 PM] The Blue Scale: You guys watch Boredom fly into the mass...a moment passes, the tentacles shriek and then wither and fall in a big clump, dead.

[9:45 PM] The Blue Scale: ((It had 3 HP left))

[9:45 PM] Coppelia: Waves her ribbon victoriously

[9:46 PM] Olenna: goes and checks on Jaden.

[9:46 PM] Jaden: is still Yamcha crater pose

[9:46 PM] Olenna: You aren't inert, are you?

[9:46 PM] The Blue Scale: Jaden looks pretty beat up.

[9:46 PM] Entropy: goes over to the Well and looks for a way down.

[9:46 PM] Jaden: I'm alive

[9:46 PM] Olenna: shakes him gently.

[9:47 PM] Olenna: Oh, I'm sure that can be fixed if you like.

[9:47 PM] The Blue Scale: You guys watch a hyperventilating Boredom exit the tentacles with the eye...but it's not an eye.  It's a large glass orb with an image of an eye...an image that clouds over and becomes a milky white color.

[9:47 PM] The Blue Scale: A crystal ball.

[9:47 PM] Jaden: shakily gets up, wipes some blood from the corner of his mouth

[9:47 PM] Entropy: What do you have there Boredom?

[9:48 PM] Olenna: But you'd better be sure. It isn't for everyone.

[9:48 PM] Coppelia: Goes over to look at the Crystal ball

[9:48 PM] Entropy: also joins Baredom and takes it from him seeing him struggling.

[9:49 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom: "S'got a glass thing innit."

[9:49 PM] Entropy: See Boredom you were the best choice to check out the well.

[9:49 PM] Jaden: quickly puts a hand on his own chest and heals 10 HP

[9:49 PM] Coppelia: Pats Boredom affectionately

[9:50 PM] The Blue Scale: The crystal ball become to flash a light and make an annoying whine.

[9:50 PM] Jaden: Careful with that!

[9:50 PM] Jaden: ((Does its seem like its about to explode or something?))

[9:50 PM] The Blue Scale: Roll arcana

[9:50 PM] Saiph: goes over and Cures Wounds Jaden for 18.

[9:50 PM] Jaden: ((15))

[9:51 PM] Olenna: smiles at them.

[9:51 PM] Jaden: Thank you

[9:51 PM] The Blue Scale: Jaden Doesn't seem like an explosion whine.

[9:51 PM] Entropy: Sam do you know what this is?

[9:52 PM] Olenna: ((Only a 10 here.))

[9:52 PM] Jaden: Its not about to explode at least

[9:52 PM] The Blue Scale: An arrow appears on the orb.

[9:53 PM] Entropy: starts turning around holding the orb.

[9:54 PM] The Blue Scale: The arrow keeps pointing in the same direction.  To a hut off to the side.

[9:54 PM] Pip: "Do you need more healing? I think I can cast a proper healing spell, too, as opposed to, well, whatever that was."

[9:55 PM] Jaden: waves Pip off "i'm alright now" he looks a little beat up but no longer on the verge of Death

[9:55 PM] Entropy: heads to the hut.

[9:55 PM] Olenna: It seemed like a perfectly nice spell to me.

[9:55 PM] Coppelia: Follows as well

[9:55 PM] Jaden: follows Entropy

[9:55 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Ok, just need a bathroom break real quick.  Will pick back up in a sec, guys.))

[9:58 PM] The Blue Scale: ((I'm back.))

[9:59 PM] The Blue Scale: Following the orb, you guys find yourselves in a room full of parts.  Separate modron parts.

[9:59 PM] Olenna: ...

[9:59 PM] Olenna: ... are these formerly alive or used to be alive?

[9:59 PM] Coppelia: ((Can I roll to investigate the parts, seeing as I’m also made of parts?))

[9:59 PM] The Blue Scale: ((You may.))

[10:00 PM] Entropy: Tangent 020?

[10:00 PM] Coppelia: ((12))

[10:00 PM] Entropy: ((Is the arrow pointing anywhere?))

[10:00 PM] The Blue Scale: You see the arrow pointing to one part in particular.  A large frame.

[10:01 PM] Entropy: will go to the frame.

[10:01 PM] The Blue Scale: Coppelia Looking around, you see several of the bits should fit together.

[10:01 PM] Coppelia: ((Do any of the pieces look like they fit the frame?))

[10:01 PM] The Blue Scale: ((They do.))

[10:02 PM] Coppelia: Starts picking up pieces and tries to put them together

[10:02 PM] Entropy: will assist coppellia.

[10:02 PM] The Blue Scale: Roll me a....I'll say this is an INT roll at adv.

[10:02 PM] Saiph: What are you doing?

[10:03 PM] Pip: "A-ah, okay."

Pip will trundle along to meet up with the others.

[10:03 PM] Coppelia: ((11))

[10:03 PM] Entropy: Building a thing?

[10:03 PM] Olenna: Sam? Do you know anything about what this might be?

[10:03 PM] The Blue Scale: You...think you put it together properly...but it doesn't quite...look right.  But you do have a face and head back together.

[10:04 PM] Coppelia: Tilts head, scribbles out These parts go together, but I’m not the best at repairing things besides myself

[10:05 PM] The Blue Scale: Sam88: That's Tangent 020.  His task would bring him out here to fetch water...the others were commanded to dismantle him and leave him here.  He was left so that his central brain apparatus would not be harmed."

[10:05 PM] Entropy: Can you help repair him?

[10:05 PM] The Blue Scale: Sam88: "...I can give it my best."

[10:05 PM] Olenna: He's not conscious and dismembered, is he?

[10:06 PM] Entropy: Would you prefer to be unconscious and dismembered?

[10:06 PM] Coppelia: Nods, digs through her pockets and pulls out a few gold nuggets, gesturing yo her gold filled cracks

[10:06 PM] Jaden: ((Does the Orb appear to fit into the frame somewhere?))

[10:06 PM] The Blue Scale: Sam88: "Not conscious in the sense you'd understand it.  He is likely reliving his time fulfilling tasks, so as to preserve his ability to do so."

[10:07 PM] The Blue Scale: ((It does.))

[10:07 PM] Jaden: Entropy

[10:07 PM] Olenna: If I couldn't do anything about it, yes, probably.

[10:07 PM] Pip: "Unconscious is definitely preferable."

Pip states, a bit agitated.

[10:08 PM] Jaden: Put the Orb thing in

[10:08 PM] Entropy: does so.

[10:08 PM] Coppelia: Seems to be fidgeting, the sound of porcelain clinking softly

[10:08 PM] Entropy: It probably would be.

[10:08 PM] The Blue Scale: ((He did exactly 1 better.))

[10:09 PM] The Blue Scale: As you place the orb in...nothing happens.

[10:09 PM] Jaden: ....Huh, thought that would do something

[10:09 PM] The Blue Scale: Sam88: "Ah, here's the issue.  His power source is missing.  We need to find that."

[10:09 PM] Coppelia: Starts to dig through the parts pretty furiously

[10:10 PM] Olenna: What would it look like?

[10:10 PM] The Blue Scale: Sam88: "Sort of like an empty hourglass, but with a fine wire on the inside."

[10:10 PM] Saiph: looks.

[10:10 PM] Coppelia: On hands and knees, looking through everything

[10:11 PM] Entropy: Boredom go check the well, and anywhere not in this room.

[10:11 PM] Jaden: I can Detect Magic one more time if you want, but i'll be spent after that

[10:11 PM] Olenna: helps Coppelia look.

[10:11 PM] The Blue Scale: I'd like everyone to roll an investigation check.

[10:11 PM] Saiph: ((12.))

[10:12 PM] The Blue Scale: Sam88: "It's not really magic.  Wouldn't work."

[10:12 PM] Coppelia: ((FUQ 6))

[10:12 PM] Entropy: ((17))

[10:12 PM] Jaden: ((6))

[10:12 PM] Coppelia: (( @Jaden I don’t know how but this is your fault))

[10:12 PM] Coppelia: ((Joking obviously))

[10:13 PM] The Blue Scale: After a bit of searching, Entropy, you find it behind a table.

[10:14 PM] Entropy: Over here!

[10:14 PM] Entropy: brings it over.

[10:14 PM] Coppelia: Gets up and follows, signing fast

[10:14 PM] The Blue Scale: Once it's gathered, Olenna and Coppelia, you two should be able to find how to place it, given your histories.

[10:15 PM] Coppelia: holds her hands out to Entropy, somehow shaking slightly

[10:15 PM] The Blue Scale: Once placed in, Tangent jumps with a start.

[10:15 PM] Olenna: Oh, good.

[10:15 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent: "GAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!  OH NO!  OH, I'm so late!"

[10:16 PM] Olenna: Are you all right?

[10:16 PM] Coppelia: Places her hands up in a calming gesture

[10:16 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent stands up and falls back over.  "What the...my foot doesn't go there!"

[10:16 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent reaches down and begin trying to refix himself.

[10:16 PM] Coppelia: Signs “sorry”

[10:16 PM] Entropy: You were disassembled.

[10:17 PM] Pip: Pip is MORTIFIED.

[10:17 PM] Pip: "Aaa! Sorry!"

[10:17 PM] Coppelia: Holds up her introduction page

[10:17 PM] Olenna: Can you help us with, er... Module 1.49971?

[10:17 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent: "Yes, very inconvenient.  I haven't fulfilled my purpose in...oh my!"

[10:18 PM] Entropy: We are looking for Cosine 060.

[10:18 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent: "Module wh--Look, I need to check on Cosine 060.  So...give me space."

[10:18 PM] Entropy: To find Nomad 047

[10:18 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent goes to a corner and grabs a bucket.  He then heads for the well.

[10:19 PM] Entropy: follows him.

[10:19 PM] Coppelia: Follows him

[10:19 PM] Olenna: It's rather macabre to leave someone dismembered as a sort of puzzle, isn't it?

[10:19 PM] Jaden: as well

[10:19 PM] Pip: Pip will follow, at a distance.

[10:19 PM] Saiph: That is pretty messed up.

[10:19 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent: "Probably.  I'm not one for themes."

[10:19 PM] Jaden: Doesn't seem very orderly

[10:19 PM] Entropy: I think it’s a good method.

[10:20 PM] Pip: "A bit too familiar."

[10:20 PM] Coppelia: Shakes her head in clear disgust, signing agitatedly

[10:20 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent leans over.  "Drat!  No rope.  ...can any of you reach down and get water?"

[10:20 PM] Entropy: Boredom can you get water in the bucket?

[10:21 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom: "I ain't going in there again!  Are you nuts?!?"

[10:21 PM] Olenna: mage hands up a scoop of water.

[10:21 PM] Entropy: You dealt with the tentacle thing already.

[10:21 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent smiles.  "Yes!  Good!"

[10:21 PM] The Blue Scale: He puts the bucket under the floating water scoop.

[10:22 PM] Olenna: bloops it in there, and keeps going until the bucket is full enough.

[10:22 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent throws you a thumbs up when it's enough.  "Thank you!  If you want Cosine 060, follow me."

[10:22 PM] Olenna: You're welcome--and thank you!

[10:23 PM] Coppelia: Signs “thank you”

[10:23 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent nods gruffly and moves quickly with the water further inland.  Towards a large hut.

[10:23 PM] Jaden: follows

[10:24 PM] The Blue Scale: As you enter inside the hut, you see a massive metal block with a series of knobs and buttons on the front and a water wheel on the side.

[10:24 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent: "Alright, just plug in your question."

[10:24 PM] Coppelia: studies the contraption

[10:25 PM] The Blue Scale: ((What languages do y'all speak?))

[10:25 PM] Jaden: ((Common and Primoridal))

[10:25 PM] Coppelia: ((Common elvish halfling))

[10:25 PM] Entropy: ((Infernal, primordial, draconian , common))

[10:26 PM] Pip: [Common and Elvish, but I've got Eyes of the Rune Keeper]

[10:26 PM] Saiph: ((Celestial, Primordial, Abyssal.))

[10:26 PM] Saiph: ((Oh, and Druidic.))

[10:26 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok, so to pretty much everyone but Coppelia, it's actually very easy to figure out the controls...it's just that they're written in primordial.

[10:27 PM] Coppelia: ((Aww nuggets))

[10:27 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Sorry.))

[10:27 PM] Pip: Pip will attempt to translate for Coppelia.

[10:28 PM] The Blue Scale: So, as Tangent feeds water into the side, you guys plug in your question and a piece of paper pops out, showing the location...of Nomad 047.

[10:29 PM] Olenna: Oh, that's where Nomad is.

[10:29 PM] Jaden: ((Was that the one we talked to at the beginning?))

[10:29 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Yep.))

[10:30 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Oh, no.  Nomad's the one you went looking for at the beginning.))

[10:30 PM] Coppelia: Pats Tangent on the arm gratefully

[10:30 PM] Jaden: ((nevermind then))

[10:30 PM] Entropy: Thank you tangent 020 and cosine 060.

[10:30 PM] The Blue Scale: According to this paper, Nomad is buried in the cemetery approximately 3 miles north of here.

[10:30 PM] Olenna: Thank you so much.

[10:31 PM] Olenna: I hope Nomad isn't dismembered too.

[10:31 PM] Jaden: They were Buried, they might be worse than that

[10:31 PM] Entropy: Buried in a cometary sounds like they might be.

[10:31 PM] Pip: "Less body horror would be great, yeah."(edited)

[10:32 PM] Entropy: Hopefully.

[10:32 PM] Coppelia: Scribbles out quickly to Tangent I’m sorry they did that to you. You are not a thing to be taken apart

[10:32 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent: "....ok."

[10:32 PM] Entropy: They won’t do it again will they?

[10:32 PM] The Blue Scale: Tangent: "Nah.  That purpose was fulfilled."

[10:33 PM] Entropy: That’s good at least.

[10:33 PM] Olenna: Thank goodness.

[10:34 PM] The Blue Scale: ((I think we'll pick up at the cemetery next time.  I think that's all I have for now.))

[10:34 PM] Jaden: ((alright))

[10:34 PM] Coppelia: ((Ok sounds good. Congrats on our first group combat!))

[10:34 PM] Jaden: ((yay......))

[10:35 PM] Entropy: ((We all lived.))

[10:36 PM] Pip: [Hooray, continued survival!]
