Session of 18/03/2018

*You arrive in the Saxen town of Wedemark by boat. It is one one of the most prosperous town of the imperial province. A contigency of guards awaits you as you come off.*

“Papers.” One of the guard asked in a bored tone as people come off the ship.(edited)

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 6:54 PM

Kobi stands still for a moment as he pats around his robe for the papers he was given.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 6:55 PM

*Elias leaves the ship, not needing to show any papers. He stops next to one of the guards*
"Got any recommendations on where best to stay the night?"

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 6:56 PM

Nadya pulls the pack from her back fumbling through it before pulling a rather crumpled bit of paper from it, flattening it out against her stomach. She holds it out towards the guard, taking careful note of her surroundings.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 6:56 PM

The guard takes a look at Elias. "Might be hard to find a place to stay for the night. Town's packed for the festival."

The guard barely glances at the papers. "You're clear."

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 6:57 PM

*has the papers somewhere. "They're just. One second. In this. No wait. I had them. Can I go back to my cabin?" Drops some things, opens bag. "Papers! Oh wait no, that's a poem. Uh." Suddenly snaps their fingers, pulls out papers from inside cloak, tucked against their chest. "Got it!"*(edited)

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 6:58 PM

"Free food and ale, courtesy of the Lord Governor's purse." The guard takes a glance at the goblin and catfolks. "Even for the natives..." He looks a little disgusted by them.

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 6:58 PM

"Was... Here..." The patting turns into rummaging, a piece of paper slips from under the robe. After a few more seconds he finds the other piece of paper he needs, taking the fallen part he studies them for a second.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 6:58 PM

"No need for that," Elias says to the guard, his tone pointed.

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:00 PM

He steps up to the feet of the guard, holding up two piece of paper towards them. One is the usual permit, the second a fire-hazard warning. "Guards from last city said to show both of these."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:00 PM

The guard is so completely disinterest he pretends to read Kobi's note before handing them back. "Just stay out of trouble."

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:01 PM

"I told them nobody minded the fire.." Kobi takes back the papers and walks around the guard away from the boat

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:01 PM

*puts their papers back, packs up everything and walks off the boat, jingling and jangling slightly. Having overheard the advice and comments. Looked forward to finding food. "So, where are you all heading to? I haven't been here before."*

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:02 PM

"You're holding the line." The guard says to Kobi. "Move along."(edited)

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:02 PM

"Damn goblins." He mutter under his breath.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:02 PM

"First time visiting myself," Elias replies to Ash. *he shoots the guard a glare at the comment*

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:04 PM

*giggles fondly. "I want to stick with you, um, what's your name?" They point at Kobi.*

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:05 PM

"If you want to join the party just head to midtown through the stairs." The guard points the correct way. "They're burning the effigy at last light."

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:05 PM

He turns to the giggling, looking up at the pointing one "Is Kobi, your name?"

"Burning?"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:06 PM

"Didn't I tell you to move along?" The guard snarls.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:06 PM

"Nice to meet you Kobi, I'm Ash." They move further down away from the boat, to take in their surroundings, look at the group around them, and see where people are heading.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:07 PM

*Elias walks with Kobi and the catfolk* "I'm Elias, pleasure to meet you both"

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:07 PM

"Oooh, like the aftermath of a fire?" He moves along with the group, his stick clicking on the pavement.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 7:07 PM

She stuffs the paper back into her rather poorly organized pack and throws her bag over her shoulder. She overheard the comments from the goblin and just kind of chuckled to herself. She didn't say anything much, just walking off in the direction the guard had pointed, quietly listening to and observing them.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:08 PM

*takes in the appearance of the two people they've met so far. "Thanks for your support up there. The guards are, honestly, as I expected them to be."*

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:08 PM

"Yes, I knew they'd be tall."

"Always are."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:09 PM

"Smaller towns like this, guards are like that unfortunately..."

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:09 PM

"I see you back there, fellow catperson. What's your name!" They are rather cheerful and accepting, seemingly wanting to greet everyone, might be the kind of greet inanimate objects if bored.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 7:11 PM

She looked around her as the other catfolk addressed her, to be sure they were referring to her. "M-me?" She kind of stammered for a moment, "I'm Nadya." She said, fairly quietly. She had grown used to the sounds of bustling crowds and people, but having lived with nothing, but her parents for the majority of her life. She was still fairly new to social interactions and introductions.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:13 PM

Elias shoots Nadya an encouraging smile. "Are you all planning to attend the festival?"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:13 PM

"Well, if you didn't get our names, I'm Ash, this guy is Elias, our goblin friend is Kobi and you're.. Nadya.. Great!"

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:14 PM

"I heard someone mention burning an f-igee at this festival. Surely they will need my help so I must attend."

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 7:15 PM

She shrugged in response to Elias, "I'm not much of one to make plans, just go wherever the wind takes me." She smiled a bit, one that likely would light up a room had they not all been outdoors in the middle of the day, "Nice to meet you all."

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:17 PM

"I'm pretty sure the wind is blowing in this direction. Don't you think? Plus, I'm hungry. Eating with friends is better than eating alone~"

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 7:19 PM

"Food does sound good. And yes, I do feel a bit of a breeze." She chuckled a little bit.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:20 PM

*proceeds to head to the more busier areas of the festival, hopefully with group in tow.*

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:20 PM

"May as well enjoy the free food on offer"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:21 PM

*As you come through the town, the air is festive and the people quite animated. The square is decorated, banquet tables are strewn around the town square outside off the inns and taverns, a stage has been set up where actors seem to reenact some event before a large crowd of children. At the back of the plaza on the path leading to uptown is the set up for what seems to be a large bonfire.*

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:22 PM

"He really likes fire doesn't he?" Elias murmurs to the catfolk(edited)

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:22 PM

It's a big pile of wood with some pitch doused over it. Nearby is a cage where a dummy in mock black armor is locked.

Two guards stand by the cage.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:23 PM

Ash immediately picks up speed to one of the banquet tables and attempts to find a plate to put food on, or just starts taking little bits on food. They speak through a mouthful. "Can't say I blame 'em. It's fun."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:23 PM

*Elias puts some food on a plate and sits, picking at his food*

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:23 PM

*The tables offer plenty of local Saxen specialties; a plethora of different sausages, ham cooked with honey and mustard, pickled cabbage soup, smoked sardines and various breads and beers. An innkeeper comes toward Ash.*

"Hail." She says. "Please, enjoy yourself."(edited)

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:23 PM

He studies the bonfire for a minute before heading over to the guards. "Excuse me but when will this be fire?"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:24 PM

The guards blink at Kobi. "The burning is right after last light."

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 7:24 PM

Nadya follows the group closely, staying relatively quiet. Taking careful note of the surroundings. She was always overly cautious in new places.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:25 PM

*fills up two plates and walks back to Nadya. "Even if you're not hungry, hold this for me, I don't want it to look like I'm* too *hungry. But free food, is free food. Don't know when you'll get your next meal this big."*

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:25 PM

The presence of guards is quite high, plenty of people are about. Merchants have set up stalls, while locals try to see souvenirs and trinkets from rugs.

"It's an annual event celebrating the defeat of Lothair the Tyrant, it's been a tradition for well over a hundred years now." The guard explains.

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:26 PM

He nods and looks to the man in the cage "And is this a sacrifice?"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:26 PM

"Is everything alright, Sir knight?" The innkeeper asks Elias.(edited)

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 7:28 PM

She takes the plate from Ash, holding it with one hand and picking through it a little bit. She took a bite of one of the sausages and it practically melted in her mouth. She sighed happily, "Too true." She smiled to Ash, though her eyes had never stopped scanning around them for more than a few moments.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:28 PM

"It's the effigy, yes." The guard answers.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:28 PM

"Yes, the food is wonderful. Would you be able to tell me the story behind this festival?"

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:29 PM

"Oooh, the thing the guard said at the boat.." He smiled and waved at the guards as he headed back to the main festival "Thank for the help, keep that f-igee from escaping!"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:30 PM

The innkeeper laughs. "Not from here are we? That accent... Brevan?" She sits down and picks an apple cobbler. "We celebrate the day Akeos, chosen of the gods freed Wedemark from the tyrant Lothair, once a holy paladin who faced with the hardship of rulership fell from grace and made foul pacts with fiends."(edited)

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:30 PM

"Where shall we sit Nadya? Somewhere out in the open, or somewhere with more walls to scale? I personally like trees. Notice any good spots?"

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 7:32 PM

She pauses for a moment, feeling an odd rumbling beneath her feet and looking to Ash. "Did you feel that?" She looked down at the ground curious as to what the feeling could have been. She didn't really answer Ash's question, she was slightly distracted.(edited)

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:32 PM

"You have a good ear. I'm Brevan yes and I believe I've heard a similar tale before. A cautionary story from my master when I was training."

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:33 PM

"Honestly, at this point, it was probably my stomach. But let me know after I've had my fill if you feel it again. But there was certainly something."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:33 PM

"Would you have a name, sir knight?" She asks.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:34 PM

"Elias, and what would your name be lovely lady?"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:34 PM

"Alessa Klein." She smiles. "So, what brings you to this corner of the world?"(edited)

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:35 PM

As he passed through the tables he reaches up and takes bits of food, chewing on them as he walks through the area.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 7:36 PM

She shrugs for a moment, perhaps it was her imagination. She looked back up from the ground, taking another bite of sausage. She pointed towards a table sitting beneath a rather small tree, "How about there?" She said, finally responding to the question she'd been asked. She started to move in that direction taking careful note every footstep to see if she felt whatever it was again.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:37 PM

"Perfect... One mo." They step away to put more things on their plate and totally-not-grab-another-just-in-case. Catching up with Nadya with ~~two~~ one plate.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:38 PM

"I'm a traveller. I was growing bored where I was and decided to move elsewhere. I heard Wedemark was a nice town to visit. So far it's not disappointing."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:39 PM

She purse her lip for a second. "It can be lovely." Her expression goes back to being jovial. "You,ve arrived so late, do you have a place to stay the night?"

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:41 PM

"No, I wasn't aware there was a festival and one of the guards by the dock informed me there was no free rooms - unless there is a free room at your inn?"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:42 PM

"What if I say it's not quite at the inn?" Her tone is suggestive.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 7:42 PM

She looked over her shoulder at Ash, as they scrambled to catch up. She put her plate down first, removing her pack and setting it beside the chair before taking a seat and smiling over at Ash. "Hungry, huh?" Although keeping up the friendly conversation, she looks over at all the stalls set up in the streets. "This is quite the festival."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:43 PM

"As long as it's a warm bed I think It'll do fine," Elias replies, matching her tone

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:43 PM

After eating more than he should have Kobi ends up looking up at the stalls setup around the area, though most are a little above his eye-level.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:43 PM

They put the plates down and feast off both of them, foregoing any degree of cutlery and using both hands, sometimes hand over hand. "Well, sometimes my food ends up in my ingredients, and my ingredients end up in my food, and suddenly I've created 'Long Arm' or I'm twice the size I should be. So when someone else cooks, that's the dream."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:44 PM

A male voice calls Alessa out. "It appears I have work to attend to. Why don't you come back after the burning?" She says.(edited)

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:46 PM

The skies are getting darker, the red and pink in the skies slowly fading. The crowd seems to be slowly gathering toward the bonfire area.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:46 PM

*Elias waves Alessa goodbye and checks where the others from the dock have gotten to*

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 7:47 PM

She eats her food in a much slower manner, trying her best to keep up appearances despite the ravenous catfolk to her side. "Sounds like some creative cooking if you ask me." She was still observing the crowd, watching them begin to gather near the bonfire.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:48 PM

Kobi, the stalls sells your average daily items along with spices, fine textiles and other luxury goods. A few peddlers offer figurines of Akeos and Lothair along with cheap symbols of the city for tourists.

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:50 PM

He spots that people are heading towards the bonfire and smiles widely, scurrying over as quickly as he can. "F-IGEE DIES TONIIIGHT"

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:50 PM

*Elias joins Kobi at the stalls, noting the figurines* "I remember Akeos and other notable heros being on display where I grew up"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:50 PM

They finish all the food on their two plates and sit back. "I feel like I won't have to eat for days, but let's do any running any time soon." Ash looks up at the sudden shout. "Well, that's not something you hear every day."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:50 PM

*he blinks at Kobis excitement and follows him to the bonfire*

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 7:52 PM

She chuckles a little bit, barely finishing half the food that had been piled on her plate. "That's one excited goblin... Should we get a better view?" She asks Ash standing up and gathering her pack.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:53 PM

*As the last rays of sunlight give ways to the darkness of the night the crowd finish assembling. A figure representing the tyrant is dragged out of a cage and one man begin reading the tyrant’s crimes outloud; the list goes on and on with every deed fouler than the one before it. Perhaps true, perhaps exaggerated. The crow boos and yells profanity and curse at the tyrant.*

You can all feel a rumbling beneat your feet, it's stronger than it was before.

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:54 PM

Kobi moves to get the best view possible for the fire.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:54 PM

"Sure. I'm certainly done for now. Where would you like to go?" They pat themselves down to make sure they have everything.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 7:55 PM

"There it was again!" She exclaims. She put on her pack and looked around, still trying to identify a source or cause.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:56 PM

"Kobi-" Elias begins, but the Goblin had been swallowed up by the crowd and he couldn't see him. He glanced around but Alessa was safe inside.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:56 PM

*The 'sentincing' over, two guards drag the effigy to a post in he middle of the bonfire, tying it up. As a third man comes forth with a lit torch, you hear a whisper from the crowd behind you, which slowly grows into a commotion.*

*You see the crowd part with whispers and gaps as a lone figure rides in, clad in shadowed armor from head to toe and riding a skeletal horse. The figures makes its way to the stakes. Merely looking at the figure makes your gut twist.*

*The figure stops not far from the front of the bonfire.*

One of the guardsman steps forward, raising his halberd at the intruder. “Identify yourself!”

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:57 PM

*Elias reaches to his waist, his hand ready on his rapier*

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:57 PM

The armored figure laughs dry and loud. “I am merely the guest of honor.” The figures removes its helmet only to reveal his face; its skin is scarred by fire and decaying, its eyes glow with unholy light. “Let it be known that Lothair, your rightful king has returned!”

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:58 PM

*One the the guards moves slightly forward only for Lothair to raise his hand, fire erupting from it, engulfing the guard and those surrounding him and leaving nothing but ashes and setting the bonfire ablaze. At this, the crowd panics and begin to disperse, many getting trampled in the chaos.*

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 7:58 PM

"I'm suddenly preferring that spot by the tree again." They say, slowly backing away. Fighting not really being their forté

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:59 PM

"Bow before me, bow before your true and rightful king!" Lothair exclaims, taking his sword out.

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 7:59 PM

Kobi's eyes light up with the blaze "Yeeesss!!!!" He dances happily as the roar of the fire overwhelms all his senses, the heat washing over him..

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 7:59 PM

*The ground begins to shake violently and moments later a massive worm like beast erupts from the ground, bearing the stench of decay. It quickly dives back underground only for the hole it left behind to erupt with legions of undeads.*

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 7:59 PM

"Kobi, we need to leave now," Elias says, reaching towards the goblin(edited)

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:00 PM

*From the horde of undeads, skeleton warriors bearing ancient rusted weapons make their way toward you, weapons raised. Lothair seems too busy ranting about his return to notice you.*

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 8:00 PM

"Y-yes....tree is good..." She was also backing a way a bit at this point. She hadn't taken her eyes off of the events, just slowly backing away with Ash.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 8:01 PM

They take Nadya's hand and guide themself and her back away from the mess. "I feel like we should get the others too, but I'm not sure where they are right now."

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 8:01 PM

After the initial roar of the fire had dropped Kobi turned to Elias "... Fight?" He turns and spots the man called Lothair, gasping "Ah! He was meant to burn on fire! The F-igee has escaped!"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:01 PM

Ash and Nadya are intercepted by skeletons before they can get far. The skeletons slowly walk toward them.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 8:02 PM

"I don't think he plans to burn anytime soon," Elias replies, taking in his enemies

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 8:02 PM

"That means guards didn't do job! I hope they get pay docked."

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 8:03 PM

"Well, I guess it isn't running.. But still" They get their quarterstaff out and grimace, looking around.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 8:04 PM

Nadya had been using her quarterstaff much like a walking stick until this point, but she readied it in front of herself.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:08 PM

Elias trusts his rapier which slides harmlessly against the skeleton's ancient armor.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:13 PM

With just a motion of her hand, Nadya shoots electricity at the skeleton which explodes from the force of the magic.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:16 PM

Ash runs to a skeleton and swings their staff at it but it dodges out of the way.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:20 PM

With a rusted sword, Elias is hit by a skeleton's blade (6 damage), his allies however fend off the skeleton's assault.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:23 PM

Kobi runs to one of the skeleton and touches it, holy light erupting from his hands. The skeleton explodes into dust from the effect of the spell.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 8:24 PM

Ash cannot tell if that is a good or a bad yell.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:26 PM

roll for damage

Elias' empowers his rapier with divine might, it glows and strikes at the skeleton which breaks from divinely imbued blow.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:33 PM

Nadya steps away from the skeleton and unleash her lightning at it. It's quite scorched but remain standing

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:36 PM

The skeleton lash at Nadya and Elias but their hits are easily deflected.

Kobi bashes the skeleton assaulting Nadya, its spine shatters and it falls to the ground. Meanwhile, Ash's hit hits the skeleton, cracking its old bones but not quite dispatching it.

Elias attempts to stab the skeleton which deflects the blow.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 8:44 PM

"today isn't going well for me," he mutters

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:47 PM

With a few words and a wave of her hands, the last skeleton explodes from the lightning projected from Nadya's fingers.

*You have no time to take another breath as the ground below you gives away, it is the last thing you notice before everything goes dark. The next thing you know, you awaken in a dark cavern. The cavern seems natural although the wall behind you is clearly composed of fallen rubble from which the remains of those not as fortunate as you poke out.*

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 8:49 PM

"I hurt my sit-upon..." He lamented as he picked himself up.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 8:50 PM

Nadya rubs the back of her head as she uses her quarterstaff to help herself back to her feet.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 8:50 PM

Elias stands up, grimacing at the remains. "This is not the holiday I expected"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 8:51 PM

Ash cracks their fingers, makes sure that's the only thing they cracked and gets up, dusting themselves off. "Oh, really? I'd say mine's going *exactly* as planned." And chuckles lightly.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:52 PM

You can barely see anything beyond a few inches away, save for Elias' whose vampiric blood lets him see in the dark.

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 8:52 PM

(I would like to cast Spark on my stick to make a torch)

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 8:53 PM

Nadya begins to rummage through her pack looking for one of her torches and her flint and steel. "I knew I should have organized this thing....I just knew it..."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:53 PM

Kobi creates a torch, giving light to the room. It seems you've fallen down into a natural cavern beneath the square. In the distance you see two passages, one to the right and one to the left.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 8:54 PM

She looks up at Kobi. "Well...I guess that works."

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 8:54 PM

"A cave! It has been many times since I was last in one!"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 8:54 PM

The wall behind you is made of collapses rubbles, the remains of other people can be seen inside of it.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 8:55 PM

"We're a group of four, either we go two each, but I've had good luck with left so far. Or we can loot bodies."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 8:55 PM

"Don't suppose anyone has a health potion?"

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 8:55 PM

He stands at Elias' feet "I can cast the health on people if needed."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 8:57 PM

"your spell would not help," he says to Kobi.(edited)

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 8:57 PM

".... You're right, I need to rest before I can do that.."

He smiles "Thank you for reminding, would be embaressing if I tried."

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 8:58 PM

She looks up from her pack, putting her unlit torch back away. "Unfortunately, I'm fresh out of healing."

"Remind me to sort out this pack later...."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:00 PM

*Elias' grits his teeth* "Can you cast a negative energy spell? ...I'm a dhampir so it'll heal me"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:01 PM

"Oh well.. Only thing I can do is punch you, but I doubt that would work. Remind me in the morning and I'll see if I can."

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:02 PM

"Would yelling at you help? That's the only kind of negative energy I know."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:02 PM

*Elias laughs and shakes his head, relieved by their responses*

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:02 PM

(Anyone has knowledge religion? Cause you probably don't know what a dhampir is otherwise)

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:03 PM

He prepares to cast, thinks for a second "Why would this help?"

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:05 PM

"My father was a vampire. An undead being. So positive energy hurts me, and negative energy heal me," he explains.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:05 PM

"That would be great if spellcasters didn't know. And would just cast hurt, and then heal you. Dude."

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:05 PM

"So not yelling then?" She takes a moment to reorganize her pack so that she actually knows where things are for once.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:06 PM

"You can yell at me, if you *really* want to Nadya."

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:06 PM

"But would it help anything? I don't see much point in yelling."

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:07 PM

"Depends on what you're into." They shrug again. "I suppose not. You just seemed eager."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:10 PM

Kobi lays his hand on Elias' wound and casts his spell, the foul power seep into Elias and mend his flesh (3hp)

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:12 PM

"Very strange. Last time that happened it was a zombie that was eating friend.."

He smiles happily "Oh well, you're happy though!"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:13 PM

Ash has slightly walked off and is investigating the passages.(edited)

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:13 PM

"I can scout ahead and see what's down the left and right while you loot? I can see in the dark"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:13 PM

Their ears perk and shift at the word 'loot' "Oh, that sounds like a fun idea."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:13 PM

Ash, not carrtying any kind of light can't see anything further.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:14 PM

Nadya had finally finished sorting out her pack, put it back on and gathered her quarterstaff back up. "I'm not so sure I like the idea of splitting up."

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:14 PM

Ash was using their hands to inspect the passages as to if they were 'made' or just a coincidence!

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:14 PM

"We should all have fire sticks! That way we all see!"

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:15 PM

Kobi rumages through the rubble and pulls out some sticks and gets ready to make them burn at the end

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:16 PM

"Then we need to vote which side to go. I vote right,"

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:17 PM

"I don't bother voting, people in control always rude regardless."

(Cast Spark on the sticks to make torches for everyone)

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:17 PM

"We should gather up as much as we can carry first though....No need to leave stuff lying around." She points at the random bones that once were animated.

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:18 PM

"Get your fire! Now you too can see into dark!"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:18 PM

You find a long since rusted sword and a chain shirt that's falling to pieces.

And scraps of moldy tunic

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:19 PM

"I don't even think we can sell this on..." *laughs*

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:19 PM

"Oh good thinking! Will help keep torches burning!"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:19 PM

Ash goes to loot, happy to stay silent. Attempts to loot the remains of people in the rubble.

"Waste not want not... or whatever."

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:20 PM

Nadya takes one of the burning sticks from the goblin, "Thank you, my friend." Rather than joining in the looting she keeps an eye out, watching both of the passages with nervous eye.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:20 PM

*passes tunic scraps to Kobi for torches*

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:21 PM

"Guys! I think we got a live one. Can someone help me move some rubble?" They step back to reveal a hand sticking out.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:21 PM

*Elias immediately reacts, pulling rubble aside*

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:21 PM

She moves over, spreading more light over the area.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:22 PM

Ash kneels down and places their hand on the back of the reaching one. "Can you hear me?"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:23 PM

Elias can't seem to move the rubbles even with Ash's help.(edited)

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:23 PM

"The rubble is well packed, brute strength isn't going to work"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:24 PM

I take the ring off the finger. If we can't get them out... waste not want not. "I don't have spells for this." They deftly pocket the ring.(edited)

"Unless... bombs?"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:24 PM

In the effort of prying the ring off, the arm comes loose from the rubble.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:25 PM

"I don't suppose yelling the rocks would-" She stops as she notices the arm come loose from the rubble and stops mid sentence.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:28 PM

*Elias scouts ahead, staying near the group, and looks down the corridors*

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:29 PM

*You see another opening, this bit of cavern has suspiciously well placed and clean crates. It does not seem to be rubble from the surface. On top of the crate it a tiny chest.*

You don't see any obvious threat.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:30 PM

"There's more loot down the right corridor"

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:31 PM

"be careful"

*checks left corridor*

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:31 PM

Nadya was watching down the other corridor, as Elias spoke about more loot.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:32 PM

Ash *totally* picked up a torch when they were being handed out earlier and strides boldy with said torch, that is definitely in their hands, towards the chest, that they totally know about.

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:33 PM

(I can cast detect magic on this right? To see entrance?)

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:33 PM

You come into the new bit of cavern. There's a passage that continues forward. Other than the crates and the tiny chest, nothing pops out.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:35 PM

Ash walks around the chest and inspects the crates, then loses all pretence and goes to the chest, putting the torch down carefully and looks around at others. "I feel like this could be a trap, can anyone help with detect stuff? I have Disable Device, but I figure it's only useful if I know there's a device."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:35 PM

(What does Elias see down the left corridor?)

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:36 PM

*Elias leave the left corridor and follows the others to the right* "Nothing I can see the other way"

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:36 PM

Nadya follows closely behind Elias and approaches the chest they were all gathering around.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:37 PM

Looking at the chest and crates, Ash doesn't find anything supicious.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:37 PM

(No kobi)

A trap springs forth, shooting darts at Ash.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:38 PM

The dart lands right into Ash's guts (7 damage)

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:40 PM

"Don't sell me" Ash goes to use their extract.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:40 PM

*Elias inspects Ash's wound* "Now we do need a normal healing spell"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:41 PM

While the chest is simple wood, the content includes little paste bricks wrapped in waxed paper, it smells quite strongly.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:41 PM

Nadya turns in time to see the aftermath, she didn't see the darts cuz she was still watching behind them. She was normally paranoid, but it seemed her paranoia was at an all time high today.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:42 PM

"Anyone see anything like this before?" Elias asks, picking up a brick

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:43 PM

Ash sips their extract, pocketing the empty vial for use on another day. "I haven't.. But I can." They stand up.

"That.. is a brick."

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:44 PM

"Can't say I have, but the chest might be worth something. I mean, who wouldn't want a tiny chest that shoots darts at people?"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:44 PM

"I would.. prefer not to have one.. a few moments ago."

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:45 PM

"I study." He takes the brick and looks it over

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:47 PM

The chest contains a total of ten little bricks.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:47 PM

Ash reaches up the podium and attempts to disable device and remove the chest, but stays mostly hidden from any future darts.

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:48 PM

"These are smoke bricks... They burn quite a bit and make people go funny. Good for clearing out bad people."

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:48 PM

"Oh phew, my next idea was to try eating one. I guess I wont."

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:49 PM

"Yes yes, I can set fire easily, may I keep some for use?"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:49 PM

Ash takes one of the bricks and pockets that, openly.

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:50 PM

He takes the other nine and puts them in his bag.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:50 PM

"I was gunna say we split 'em. But okay."

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:50 PM

"I could find out if they are worth anything. Though that does sound at least somewhat useful" She pauses for a moment. "Or we can always give more flammable things to our resident pyromaniac." She says playfully.

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:51 PM

"Oh! Did people want more?" He looks to the others.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:51 PM

"If you can spare me a second, I wouldn't mind."(edited)

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:51 PM

"Of course!" He takes one and passes it to Ash.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:52 PM

"I don't personally see much use for them. So you can take my share, little friend."

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:52 PM

Ash takes the one and puts it in a different pocket. "I wonder if I can put these in one of my bombs."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:53 PM

*Elias goes further down right corridor, looking ahead*

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:54 PM

(going past the chest onwards)

(oh, my bad)

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:54 PM

There's a corridor. Also, a bunch of crates you all ignored.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:55 PM

Despite curiosity getting the better of them once already, Ash inspects a crate.(edited)

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:55 PM

(Secret Perception Check): You can't find any traps here either.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:55 PM

"Can you check the crates for traps first?" he asks Ash

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:56 PM

"Looks good to me... But uh. Someone who can take more hits might want to try."

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:56 PM

"So are we just gonna leave the tiny chest of death behind?" She says looking over one of the crates before poking it with her quarterstaff.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:56 PM

"You're welcome to take it if you want, but it might weigh you down a bit"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 9:57 PM

"I couldn't disable the trap, so, if you want to risk reloading it..."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:57 PM

*Opens a crate slowly, being careful of any traps*

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 9:57 PM

(Can I appraise the chest to see if it's worth it?)

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 9:57 PM

Kobi just watches them play with the boxes.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:58 PM

The crate opens without issue. It's filled with a dozen bottles.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 9:59 PM

"Please let this be something alcholoic" Elias mutters as he picks up a bottle

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 9:59 PM

The chest is perfectly mundane save for the now broken trap mechanism. You see a concealed mechanism to disarm the trap without risk that Ash missed.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:00 PM

The bottles have no label. They have removable cork plugs.(edited)

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 10:01 PM

"Hey Ash...I think I figured out how to disable this trap...but the chest itself seems pretty worthless."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 10:01 PM

"I don't think I'll risk testing this for poison"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 10:01 PM

Ash opens a bottle and pours the liquid into the empty vial they have from their earlier extract use.

"I'll... be.. right.. there.." Focussing on not spilling.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:01 PM

It's clear liquid and it smells very strongly of alcohol.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 10:02 PM

Ash moves to Nadya and attempts to Disable the Device!(edited)

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 10:02 PM

"Maybe these are supplies for the festival then?"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 10:03 PM

"My work here is done." They bow lightly. "If you don't want it.. I'll have it."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 10:04 PM

*takes 2 bottles and moves to next crate*

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:04 PM

The other crate has the same deal, six bottles of alcohol.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 10:04 PM

Nadya picks up one of the bottles and attempts to determine it's value.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 10:05 PM

"Well. If anything big is waiting ahead we can certainly set it on fire"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:07 PM

The bottle seem to contain spiced rum. It'd be ahrd to determine the quality without a taste. But Sugar cane not being native to centros, it has to be worth a few gold a bottle.(edited)

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 10:09 PM

"Smells like rum?" She wasn't exactly certain so she took a sip of it herself.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 10:09 PM

"Hey Elias... does alcohol count as a negative energy extract?"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:09 PM

It's quality stuff, definitely spiced and aged well. It hasn't turned and packs quite a pack.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 10:10 PM

Nadya chuckled and shook her head at Elias, "I think we should bring at least some of this with us. Probably worth a very shiny penny or two."

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 10:11 PM

"Not the only thing around here that is." Ash opens one of their bottles and takes a sip.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 10:11 PM

"Money penny? Wait. Nevermind." Ash stores the bottles away and heads down the passage. But doesn't forget their torch.(edited)

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 10:12 PM

"Okay, let's move on before something else falls down and follows us."

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 10:12 PM

Nadya packs a 3 bottles into her, now, well organized pack. "I think we should probably move on though, we've dwelled here quite a while."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:12 PM

The passage seems to be a Y shaped fork, branching the path you took and the one you didn't. It continues about two hundred feet further.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 10:13 PM

"Elias, uh, you wanna lead the pack? With those keen eyes~"

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 10:13 PM

"sure, but there doesn't seem to be a way out I can see..."

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 10:13 PM

Nadya kept herself more to the back of the group as they continued moving. "I can also still scream....really loud."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 10:14 PM

"You're just as likely to make rubble fall on us..."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:15 PM

You continue onto the passage and reach a wider room, a few bodies have fallen through a crack in the top of the cavern, you can see the sky from along with part of a fortification wall. It seems you've passed under the wall separating midtown and lowtown.

At the far end of the chamber you see the masonry wall of a building, part of it is exposed but what appears to be a shelf has been pushed to block the hole.

Before you can react, a giant centipede monster stirs from the bodies and rush toward you for intruding its dinner.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:21 PM

It charges at Nadya and bites her! She falls on the ground knocked out from the attack.(edited)

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:27 PM

Elias sticks his rapier right down the monster's eye, it screaches in pain and transparent flood gush out of the round, spraying everywhere.(edited)

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:29 PM

Roll twice

Elias, the centipede turns toward you!

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:31 PM

The centipede bites you but your armor protect you from its fangs.(edited)

Elias stabs again and his blade reach right into the other eye. The creature begin to spasm, falls down and stops moving.

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 10:36 PM

(I cast Stablise on Nadya to prevent dying)

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 10:39 PM

"So, do we want to try shoving those shelves aside and carrying her?"

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:41 PM

The shelves seem to have been built to move easily. You come into what seems like a store's basement, it's filled with garbage and ashes, the floor above seem to have caught fire, but the stone part of the structure remain.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 10:41 PM

"It's your favourite thing Kobi" *motions upwards at the smoke*

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 10:41 PM

Ash carries Nadya in. "Should we head back to the inn where I think you made a friend. I feel there will be more empty rooms now."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:43 PM

The stairs hold as you get upstairs. the shop is ruined and most of its content in ashes. The tatch roof has burnt away. In the distance you can see a large stone structure on a small hill, barricades around it. There's light and life there.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:44 PM

Soldiers bearing the guard's uniform are manning the barricade. "Identify yourself!" They shout, clearly nervous.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 10:45 PM

"My name is Elias, I'm a paladin knight. They're all with me"

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 10:45 PM

"Can we.. not right now? I've fallen through the floor, and helped fight a worm thing. Also that."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:45 PM

"Paladin?" The guards mutter around them. "Let them in!" They move the cart acting as a gate and let you past. "Is the catfolk alive?" One of them asks.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 10:45 PM

"Barely, do you have any kind of healing that we can get, it's pretty urgent."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:46 PM

"Yes... But Knight Captain says it's only for combatants..." The guard says. "You'll need to talk to her."

## Kobi (Ronyo)-Last Sunday at 10:46 PM

"There is a dead many-leg-snake down there as well." Kobi walks into the camp with the others

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:48 PM

You're let into the inn and the guard leads you to a sectioned off place where an older woman with salt and pepper hair, a tired expression and a suit of plate is focused on maps and scattered documents.

"Captain."

"What is it?" She asks, tired.

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 10:49 PM

"Hello sir. I'm a paladin knight. These 3 have been helping me in fighting some of the undead and monsters around and under this town. It would be greatly appreciated if our hurt friend could be healed as thanks for their contribution."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:51 PM

The captain sigh. "Right now, we can't spare the healing to anyone but combatant of the guards or the actively dying. Your friend seems stable."

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 10:52 PM

Ash mumbles something. "Or actively dying..."

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:52 PM

"We have over a hundred refugees here, many of them injured." She comes closer and inspect Nadya. "Lehmann?" A man in priestly robes come forward. "Virtue."

The priest whispers a chant and puts a hand on Nadya who regain just a smidge of strength, enough to be briefly conscious. "This Man says you fought the undead?" She asks Nadya.

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 10:54 PM

Nadya nods weakly, not having the strength to speak.

## Kali the GM-Last Sunday at 10:55 PM

"We can only afford to heal fighters. You can fight then join the militia. I can't legally conscript you, but it's your choice kid. We can patch you up so you can fight or we can find you a place to rest."

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 10:56 PM

"I think for now we'll rest. It's been a long day, for all of us I suspect"

## Elias (Calix)-Last Sunday at 10:57 PM

*Elias wants to find Alessa to rest with*

## Nadya (Roxy)-Last Sunday at 10:57 PM

Nadya shook her head. She wasn't really in the right state to be agreeing to join anything. Rest would be enough to get her back on her feet. She'd figure out the rest from there.

## Ash (Nik)-Last Sunday at 10:57 PM

Ash takes Nadya to a safe place ™ to rest and recuperate.(edited)
