Theoden P. Herdson: we might need to stand in circles Dion Cain: what is the gem doing to the jar Jarric Seligmann: the sword to the gem Ashamm Reynn: nothing to the jar Jarric Seligmann: it did nothing to the jar Ashamm Reynn: its doing the same thing AS the jar Todrin Rossik: Hmmm I found something interesting.... Jarric Seligmann: what todrin Dion Cain: wait... could that gem be the relic we need to smite gorrik Theoden P. Herdson: what is it Todrin Rossik: There are some old footprints... Don't seem to lead anywhere or if they did we've messed up the tracks. Todrin Rossik: However what is really interesting is what the tracks are of. Todrin Rossik: Some normal footprints. Theoden P. Herdson: they have to go somewhere? Dion Cain: a samoth? Todrin Rossik: Some skeletal footprints. Jarric Seligmann: I was going to ask if they were human.. Todrin Rossik: Some Slaad tracks. Theoden P. Herdson: samoth dont have feet Dion Cain: *investigates all with lantern* Jarric Seligmann: ohh salaad.. same as those in dracomere.. Todrin Rossik: The human tracks are only near the east pentagram... Theoden P. Herdson: nope Jarric Seligmann: and they're from another plane.. and what does that have to do with this? I wonder? Jarric Seligmann: and it sits right in front of the door to Jarric Seligmann: *stands in the middle anyway* Todrin Rossik: Hmmm... One of the supports faces each of the pentagrams... Jarric Seligmann: well lets follow the direction they headed out in? Theoden P. Herdson: hold on Todrin Rossik: *Checks for a dominant set of teacs by the north pentagram* Dion Cain: the gem is blocking the way, we have to destroy it Theoden P. Herdson: can we just remove it Dion Cain: must smite gem... Theoden P. Herdson: Dion, are you feeling OK? Jarric Seligmann: DION? ash had a feeling best to leave the gem sitting there.. ? not remove it Todrin Rossik: This one had mostly skeletons and people... Dion Cain: well, we have two choices Jarric Seligmann: and the other one salaads todrin? Dion Cain: we can get rid of that gem and go on, or we can go back and probably accomplish nothing Jarric Seligmann: dion? why do you say somethin about destroying the gem Theoden P. Herdson: do they all go back out the gatess? Dion Cain: look at it with the lamp ashamm Jarric Seligmann: what maeks you so sure it needs destroying Ashamm Reynn: the gem is blocking the teleporter and it needs to stay there Ashamm Reynn: for now Dion Cain: alright, let's go back then Jarric Seligmann: then lets turn back Jarric Seligmann: I don't think Ashwould get such a strong impression if it were not the case Todrin Rossik: I'm not sure there is much we can do here but the information I've gleaned that might be of use is that Jarric Seligmann: the tracks went west todrin Jarric Seligmann: try to pick them up somewhere to the west then? if you can Todrin Rossik: That Slaad came from the east pentagram and disapeared after a few steps at least from the tracks. Jarric Seligmann: all right and the humans ones? walked around the other one and then went west? Todrin Rossik: Humans and skeletons appeared at the others and have wandered around and gone west a ways including more tracks on the other side of the doors. Theoden P. Herdson: so they were summoned? Ashamm Reynn: thats likely what the gem is doing.. keeping them from being summoned... Todrin Rossik: Just from the way it looks the device whatever it is has three facets with each of the pentagrams as one of the facets, Todrin Rossik: It appears that a support points at each of the pentagrams from the device Todrin Rossik: The doors havn't been opened in a long long time. Todrin Rossik: And the construction appears older than that we found at the overmind. Jarric Seligmann: and the pentagrams themselves are old as well? Todrin Rossik: Let me go look at one more thing and then I'm ready to leave. Theoden P. Herdson: he is like a mage when it comes to buildings.. Jarric Seligmann: how do you figure that theo :) Ashamm Reynn: i think this classifies as an underground cavern.. not a building Theoden P. Herdson: he studies every nook and cranny Todrin Rossik: Ok this has been here a LONG time, the south pentagram with stalagmights on it appears to have been put there before the stalgmights grew and for ones that big to form takes a LONG time. Jarric Seligmann: well yea.. that's his job :) Theoden P. Herdson: well... somebody "built" it Ashamm Reynn: well if its been here a long time then it will likely stay here a long time Jarric Seligmann: WHAT? that would make it.. impossibley old right Todrin Rossik: Well I mean it looks older than the overmind dracomere construction which dates from the time of the holy city so this is much older than that Theoden P. Herdson: are we talking 1000 years or older? Ashamm Reynn: older theo Jarric Seligmann: aye older than the city even theo Jarric Seligmann: for those formations to happen much older than the city even Quaestor : [Tell] more of the same Quaestor : [Tell] right Todrin Rossik: I wouldn't be suprised if this had been here several thousand years. Theoden P. Herdson: you think it is sky man building Jarric Seligmann: Mother of All! Dion Cain: what? Jarric Seligmann: what the blazes is it and do you suppose Jarric Seligmann: that porter and gem were put there by the samoth Jarric Seligmann: to block whatever from coming through there Jarric Seligmann: is the porter and that more recent than the pentagrams todrin can you tell Todrin Rossik: We leaving? Dion Cain: wow Jarric Seligmann: todrin Magnyr Ironwood: to block the demons from coming thru Todrin Rossik: Yes? Dion Cain: like some horror from beyond creation? awesome Jarric Seligmann: can you tell if the porter and that is more recent than the pentagrams are Ashamm Reynn: now you can see why removing the gem would be bad Dion Cain: that would explain why i had such an overpowering urge to unblock it Todrin Rossik: I can go look again... Jarric Seligmann: if maybe it was put there by the samoth to seal up what the pentagrams signify? Jarric Seligmann: cause ash says the gem blocks something Dion Cain: madness Theoden P. Herdson: well if this oricle is any good, it could be to just block the Balaks from using it Jarric Seligmann: I dunno it's just a question eh Ashamm Reynn: yeah it blocks the teleporter Theoden P. Herdson: after all, they are taking posession of all the other teleporters Ashamm Reynn: No theo.. i think what ever comes out of that one is far worse than balaklutha Theoden P. Herdson: wonder if they ever "fixed" that one in frog swamp near PR? Jarric Seligmann: well what ever the heck is older than what we've run across already?! Theoden P. Herdson: didnt hte legend mention Raphastus returns or something? Jarric Seligmann: and it's here underneath harmon of all places Theoden P. Herdson: do you think Gorric found it when he was "alive" Todrin Rossik: Magnyr might be a better judge of that than me... I can't really tell if any of it is a differant age than other parts. Has to do with masonry and tunneling and such... Jarric Seligmann: what he found was a bone of that thirteenth man Dion Cain: i don't know we can ask him :D Todrin Rossik: I'm good at looking but that requires knowledge outside my feild. Jarric Seligmann: mag can you take a look Magnyr Ironwood: I could but that would mean getting close to it Jarric Seligmann: we can heal you Quaestor : Remember, Magnyr is a dwarf of forest and field. Rocks are not his thing. Magnyr Ironwood: I'm not worried about that. Im worried about demons and the like Dion Cain: i doubt we are going to accomplish much more here if we are not going to touch the gem Todrin Rossik: I think the one we really need here is strakle... He was much more aligned with stone. Jarric Seligmann: well let's go... *nods* good point.. and I seem to recall a couple of your dwarven solutions ... :) let's go then Dion Cain: i for one would like to just lay a hand on it... but not without considering consequences Jarric Seligmann: I did lay a hand on it dion and I laid xx on it to Todrin Rossik: Are we ready to leave? Theoden P. Herdson: *whispers* you mean techniques Jarric Seligmann: and nothing happened Jarric Seligmann: lets go Todrin Rossik: I hope this light spell I used wears off before I need to hide Todrin Rossik: Its Gorrik. Jarric Seligmann: Gorrick Dion Cain: hey gorrik how's it going Theoden P. Herdson: he dont look happy Dion Cain: oh screw it Magnyr Ironwood: I don't think he's happy to see us Theoden P. Herdson: that isnt helping? Jarric Seligmann: yea well :) Dion Cain: hel[ped me feel better Theoden P. Herdson: I thought this jar was protection Jarric Seligmann: he's very much weaker no way we should have been able to do that theo Dion Cain: turn against your dark master! or something Dion Cain: *hits webs* Theoden P. Herdson: vineage Theoden P. Herdson: thats a first Dion Cain: yay Dion Cain: all it takes is insane rage Magnyr Ironwood: emphasis on insane Jarric Seligmann: yea Jarric Seligmann: I go with that mag Dion Cain: whatever works Todrin Rossik: *Waves them ahead * Gorrik again! Dion Cain: hey ready to talk now? Todrin Rossik: And Amanex Jarric Seligmann: they can't talk Magnyr Ironwood: there's two of them Dion Cain: damn Theoden P. Herdson: we didnt come to fight Dion Cain: well... do they know how to write? Jarric Seligmann: we don't have the ability yea the former emperorer tht came to subdue gorrick and fell to him instead mag Dion Cain: *scratches HI into rock* Jarric Seligmann: gorrick? Jarric Seligmann: amanex? Magnyr Ironwood: how about we just give them a wide go-around Jarric Seligmann: *stares them both down* Theoden P. Herdson: i might have got too close Dion Cain: hmm Jarric Seligmann: interesting to be sure Jarric Seligmann: *laughs* to bad the lich in me can't commune w/ them Dion Cain: i think it's more that they are afriad of the jaro Dion Cain: we can use the knuckle in there or whatever to destroy gorrik Jarric Seligmann: nahh dion .. we can't I think Todrin Rossik: No remeber we were told by something that it was not enough to destory him. Todrin Rossik: We need a different part to destroy gorrik. Dion Cain: that's arbitrary Jarric Seligmann: exactly so a knuckle bone does not beat out a spinal column? Dion Cain: you would think a body part is a body part Jarric Seligmann: *re examines the bones and column Jarric Seligmann: now wehre'st ht lich in me when you need him theo :) Dion Cain: that was a nice sword Jarric Seligmann: there's the boyz again.. we must be goin the way they want us to Dion Cain: why'd the one disappear? Todrin Rossik: We want to trap him with the pot the problem is figuring out the best place to put it. Dion Cain: why did he attack before and not now? Theoden P. Herdson: when you approched Dion Ashamm Reynn: abandoning his master? Jarric Seligmann: I don't know . follow gorric he's leading Dion Cain: go on Todrin Rossik: No hes backing away from us. Todrin Rossik: Or more specifically theo I think Jarric Seligmann: yea try it theo Jarric Seligmann: but theo was way back to the back Theoden P. Herdson: try what Dion Cain: this lead nowhere? Quaestor : oh oh Theoden P. Herdson: if its a dead end, then its a trap Quaestor : WELL that's supposed to be the basement of the Old castle. But it's GONE! Simulate. Dion Cain: huh? Jarric Seligmann: ? Dion Cain: can we trap him here witht he pot then? Jarric Seligmann: that's it.. Dion Cain: or could he get around? Jarric Seligmann: I think this is where the jar goes Ashamm Reynn: only one way to find out Theoden P. Herdson: in this tunnel? Jarric Seligmann: yea put it down and find out Jarric Seligmann: it's the door to the basement theo Ashamm Reynn: to the old castle Jarric Seligmann: to the bottom most floor ooc I think tha's what q is saying Theoden P. Herdson: feels good to be out from under that load Ashamm Reynn: ooc: cause castle harmon has bee built in 2 spots Jarric Seligmann: let's go ...... Quaestor : we gonna sit here till he shows up? Jarric Seligmann: [Tell] has it so will the thing here keep .. gorrick in even so Ashamm Reynn: at least for a while.. Dion Cain: i guess it's all the way back to byrune then?

Dion Cain: what the hell is going on? Todrin Rossik: And what happened to cleric? Jarric Seligmann: lets go .. the mage and that we can't start to kill anyway.. I dunno those are not caravan guards tho Ashamm Reynn: the one with the red glowing mace called them Dion Cain: i could have soloed the dark mage eventually.... Quaestor : [Tell] it was a god Todrin Rossik: There was a second mage that dion had been fighting the entire time. Ashamm Reynn: that folks was the power of a god Jarric Seligmann: [Tell] zoab is a god? or the guy with the mace was a god q Dion Cain: he must have run out eventually Jarric Seligmann: It was... a god.. Dion Cain: that servant was insane, an avatar of a god though Jarric Seligmann: [Tell] or the mage was a god.. I am confused Ashamm Reynn: some Zoabab is what she said Todrin Rossik: No not a god... It was the power of a god or perhaps even an avatar. Dion Cain: the only reason i survived was this immune ability drain amulet i switched to Jarric Seligmann: it.. WAS a god ! I tell you it WAS a god Ashamm Reynn: [Tell] i love how these non-clerics know what avatars are Dion Cain: how can you tell? Todrin Rossik: Jarric if it was a God we'd be dead. Jarric Seligmann: how can someone like me NOT know Theoden P. Herdson: i WAS dead Todrin Rossik: Lets not head straight to Byrune. Ashamm Reynn: I agree with Jarric Jarric Seligmann: you QUESTION me? Quaestor : [Tell] The Sword knows. Dion Cain: hey, that does boost my ego Jarric Seligmann: and Ash XX knows I say unto you Jarric Seligmann: it WAS a god Todrin Rossik: We could head east to Ugakas place. Jarric Seligmann: look who you are talking to ash .. and me Todrin Rossik: And circle back. Dion Cain: why did he run from us, though? Theoden P. Herdson: well, where did this god come from? Jarric Seligmann: lets go then I want to go by ugaka's Ashamm Reynn: the cleric called upon his power Ashamm Reynn: werent you listening? Todrin Rossik: East we go then. Theoden P. Herdson: wonder if it has to do wit htat gem? Dion Cain: i was too far away Jarric Seligmann: Cho said something about aurelia.. and we do need to . .. .. start trying to figure out what to do w/ her.. yea please trust ash and I in this Dion Cain: what did the cleric say? he used a miracle to summon the avatar of a god? Jarric Seligmann: would that we could summon Samoth as easy tho :) Jarric Seligmann: *pauses* but WHAT god is that Todrin Rossik: Dagan Todrin Rossik: Good you did make it out in time.... Theoden P. Herdson: Dagan, are you OK? Ashamm Reynn: Umm maybe not best to say the name now Dion Cain: hi Gionak: Are we sure it's not more orcs? Jarric Seligmann: so this is where you eneded up dagan * happy to see them* Theoden P. Herdson: maam?! Todrin Rossik: We were afraid when we passed your place. Dagan: They been all over lately Dagan: Yeah, that was rather bad. Dion Cain: actually, it was a VERY powerful cleric and mage, accompanied by a lot of mercenaries, who attacked us just now Theoden P. Herdson: orc are our least worry... Jarric Seligmann: do I look like an orc :) mam? I just found out I look like a westman but NOT an orc.. not yet Ugaka: You lookin like you hadda fight. Ugaka: Or two. Jarric Seligmann: ohh Mother of all Ugaka that we did who the blazes is Zoab? Dion Cain: we... killed the mercenaries, and the cleric summoned what seemed like the avatar of a god Dagan: We've seen hundreds in the last few days. Ashamm Reynn: Jarric.. maybe now isint a good time to repet his name Todrin Rossik: Well its been pretty much one long fit for the last couple days since we got back to Byrune if it wasn't orcs or westmen then it was being ambushed by a Cleric and Mage with a bunch of mercenaries. Jarric Seligmann: hundreds dagan? Gionak: Zo... you must not say that word! Theoden P. Herdson: Zoabab Gionak: DO NOT! Dion Cain: oh wonderful Ashamm Reynn: Theo~! Dagan: She knows. Dion Cain: hahahaw Theoden P. Herdson: sorr Todrin Rossik: They could you please tell us about where it comes from... Jarric Seligmann: well.... *nods* maybe so Ash.. but it was a follower who summoned him... okay Gionak Ashamm Reynn: still Jarric Seligmann: can you tell us about him tho Todrin Rossik: We just had a cleric invoke that name and summon something to attack us on our way back from Harmon. Gionak: He is a vicious and terrible warrior god of the old times. He hears his name spoken and he COMES. Jarric Seligmann: ohh like Kalemph? Dion Cain: that scythe almost felled me... Gionak: Then you must fear. Those who worship him are terrible indeed. Jarric Seligmann: I mean .. *pointing to dion* kalemph is a warrior god Theoden P. Herdson: too bad Samoth doesnt come when called Gionak: What cleric? I had not known any such were in this area. Jarric Seligmann: yea I WISH theo :) Ashamm Reynn: the cleric said his name then I COMMAND YOU! Dagan: Cambey? Dion Cain: maybe... i can learn something Gionak: There, not here. Jarric Seligmann: none we've seen before Gionak that's for sure Jarric Seligmann: no cleric like we've ever seen Ashamm Reynn: well cambey would make sense Gionak: If he summons the servants of Z... you know, he is bad for sure. Gionak: What did you do to run afoul of such? Jarric Seligmann: *nods* yea.. another enemy to add to the list.. you two made it out! we saw what was left of your homestead Ashamm Reynn: [Tell] haha and Q complains word of faith is overpowered Todrin Rossik: We defeated the mercanaries with the cleric and weren't doing to horribly in the fight against him and his mage companion until the cleric called to his god. Jarric Seligmann: [Tell] haaaaaaaaa yea give me summon servants of samoth any old day LOL LOL LOL Dion Cain: the lesser ones i could take down... but the servant cut into me with that scythe... i could feel it draining my life Jarric Seligmann: *shakes head totattly confused* we were on the road from Harmon back to bryune .. they seemed at first to be caravan guards Dion Cain: *prays* Ashamm Reynn: They recongnized us and attacked Dagan: Perhaps he hired them to cover his ass while he sought you? Ashamm Reynn: which means someone sent them for us Jarric Seligmann: despite pleas for peace.. they would not ceas attacking us and the fellow said that if he could not subdue us.. he would call on someone that would Ugaka: Dats what I would do. Jarric Seligmann: yea well on the way oiut to harmon dagan Todrin Rossik: Also I think he was specifically after you Jarric, Dagan: If issa cleric, maybe use magic, make dem mind. Yah. Jarric Seligmann: we had to deal with any number of orc ambushes by jubax men Gionak: They do that. Gionak: By the gods, I hope you didn't lead them here? Ashamm Reynn: which is why I didnt want to come here Dion Cain: we had felled the slaves... when the servant disappeared Jarric Seligmann: no they left off Jarric Seligmann: none followed us here .. they disappeared Gionak: That is like the stories I have heard. They fight for a time, then go. Ugaka: Me notta ready fight gods. Jarric Seligmann: after me? todrin? why do you say that Jarric Seligmann: I think he was after us all :) Ashamm Reynn: cause the cleric said something like here he is when he found you Ugaka: Dey choppa you pretty goot. Jarric Seligmann: but I to busy tyring to stay standing to notice.. Todrin Rossik: He said that "This is the one" when he came up to you. Theoden P. Herdson: yes they did Theoden P. Herdson: but it took all 4 of them Theoden P. Herdson: I have good news about Kenjaka too Jarric Seligmann: did he *sighs small smile* . ohhh well I wonder I am not to disappoint *trying to laugh* Todrin Rossik: He also at one point yelled about about how "Raphestus rules" Dion Cain: ... Jarric Seligmann: yea it's probably the sword they wanted like always Gionak: Dats a bad combanation, Raph... and Z. Todrin Rossik: Which would click as he was dressed in that wird red battle gear. Jarric Seligmann: I did here that Raphastus rule.. which is strange considering he called on the other one Dagan: Hope we not see dem here. Gionak: I think the wargs need attention. Ashamm Reynn: he could be like me Jarric Dagan: yeah Jarric Seligmann: we covered our tracks dagan todrin and mag know their stuff that way Theoden P. Herdson: maybe it was a slur to my Samoth plee Dion Cain: perhaps we should remain a while to make sure they don't... we fended them off before Ashamm Reynn: except with me its samoth and thavain Jarric Seligmann: ohh nice you got the wargs out w/ you .. all that work is not lost Todrin Rossik: So how have you all been? Did you make it through the solstice alright? Dion Cain: *pets cat* Jarric Seligmann: *looks down at the cat* Todrin Rossik: [Tell] You are entirly in the wrong spot to look at the cat... Ugaka: Himma build house Theoden P. Herdson: Ugaka, you grewa a beard Jarric Seligmann: aurelia? .. you're.. getting tallr Jarric Seligmann: [Tell] the cat is right behind aurleia dohhhh unless I am blind I sure as hell can see it Dion Cain: going to start a regular town out here before too long Theoden P. Herdson: *prays to Samoth* Dagan: So, you stay for food? Jarric Seligmann: when .. did she start getting so big.. aurelia? Theoden P. Herdson: this is a nice little hut Jarric Seligmann: yea.. we stay dagan and you can tell us what happened? glad yo make it out Ashamm Reynn: If you need any help in building your new home, I Ashamm Reynn: 'll help you out Dion Cain: that was good Quaestor : A good night in spite of it all. Todrin Rossik: I need to head off soon. But I think we just had a run in with the Dukes Assassin from the Temple of Raphestus in Cambey. Quaestor : Bonus for figgering out something important. Jarric Seligmann: yea it was and all by yourself to Ashamm Reynn: it would seem so Todrin Quaestor : we can chat with the tribe on the board, and also discuss ... well we can do this here. Jarric Seligmann: with the tribe? you mean the westmen? Todrin Rossik: I'll hang here for a couple minutes... Jarric Seligmann: or ugaka
