Start of #KHS buffer: Sun Sep 21 22:27:56 2008 [17:52:30] * Danith (magelink@adsl-71-131-21-49.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) has joined #KHS [17:57:01] * Fillis (senranda@74.12.129.225) has joined #KHS [17:57:35] * Darkheart (lol@67.233.151.199) has joined #KHS [17:58:28] * Darkheart is now known as Steddha [18:00:32] * Dresdin (rtchen2001@c-67-188-134-2.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #KHS [18:00:56] [After dispatching your foes in this room, you decided to take a short break and search the room for valuables. You managed to find some in some small piles around the stairs.] [18:00:59] [Session Start] [18:02:38] Man, the architechture in this place is starting to annoy me. [18:04:00] What's this place supposed to be? I can't tell if it's supposed to be some kind of theater or a mini-fort. [18:04:59] * The coffins would suggest it was meant to be a tomb, but the room layout seems to disagree. [18:06:59] So... shall we go? No point staying around here. [18:07:24] Ghn. Might as well. [18:07:34] * Steddha makes a face, looking like she's rather irritated about things. [18:08:58] * Further down the hall, you see a large 10 foot tall wall, but that's all you can see from this position. [18:09:25] In? [18:09:29] * Dresdin moves forwards towards the front walking as silently as possible [18:09:43] Of course. Or are we standing around all day? [18:10:06] I'll attempt to scout ahead [18:14:20] * Steddha marches on in as well, not being quite as stealthy, but nonetheless keeping her ears open. [18:15:01] * Yon (t@S0106000f66039920.wp.shawcable.net) has joined #KHS [18:15:02] * Fillis moves up, but keeps behind to make sure he's not in the way [18:15:15] * Yon is now known as Ahzgrit [18:15:22] * Dresdin gets a better look at the layout of the room, and spots a small white drake of some sort as he peeks in... [18:15:35] * The Drake doesn't seem to notice him [18:16:38] I communicate what I see back to the rest then move back forward [18:17:42] ( alright ) [18:17:58] ( You other guys get that description too ) [18:18:07] * Dresdin I look around the corner [18:18:25] * Fillis whispers to those behind, "Maybe we should try to avoid it if we can." [18:18:46] * Looking ahead, Dresdin manages to spot a little bit of kobold idling about behind the rock, looking bored. [18:26:58] * Dresdin comes back and tells them of the situation [18:27:18] It doesn't look like I can take out the guard or distract the drake without being slaughtered [18:27:45] I can attempt to fight him one on one on the platform, but if there are other kobolds things will get pretty ugly [18:28:12] Hmmm. If you could distract him, maybe the rest of us could rush in to help? [18:29:00] Hmm, a drake and a kobold. Well, if there's one kobold, based off our previous battles I'd assume that there are probably more around. [18:29:28] More than likely. [18:31:17] Think it's possible to pull the drake over here? [18:31:40] Rather fight them on our grounds then theirs espeically with the traps around [18:33:02] * Steddha hrms. "Maybe toss an arrow its way, get its attention?" [18:33:45] I could probably toss a spell that distance. [18:35:40] Well? Should I do that? [18:35:50] Go for it [18:36:24] * Steddha grins, reaching for her hammer. "It'll be fun." [18:36:59] Alright... By the way, do you want me to actually lure it here, or just anger it? [18:37:54] Anger it enought to make it come over [18:38:27] Also, are kobolds agressive or stupid enough to blow their traps and chase us back here? [18:39:17] They're kobolds. 'Course they are! [18:42:02] Want it here immediately, or slowly? [18:42:20] Rather have it come as fast as possible [18:42:31] THe kobolds look sleepy and are probably slower than a flying drake [18:48:01] * Fillis nods at the others and takes a close snipe at the drake, firing eldrich bolts of energy at it and watching them sink into its flesh with sastification. * Retrieving #KHS modes... [18:50:40] * Demota changes topic to '[21] Steddha, Danith, [19] Drake, [17] Dresdin [16] Wyrmpriest, [14] Fillis, [8] Slinger 1, Boulder [7] Ahzgrit' [18:50:53] [Steddha's turn] [18:52:25] * Steddha grins a little, and marches on ahead like the crazed warrior she is. [18:55:57] * Steddha then licks her lips... and sidearms her tossin' hammer at the drake, getting a lucky carom and snickering softly to herself. [18:56:11] [Danith's turn] [18:59:19] * Danith fires off a volley of magic missiles. They look pretty, but ultimately miss their intended targets. He mutters angrily under his breath about books and instructors. [19:01:19] * THe drake howls in fury and charges at Steddha. Its wings beat, lifting it slightly above the ground, and rushes at her, snapping and gnashing with its sharp fangs, scoring several light hits. [19:03:17] * Athaven (Athaven@c-67-174-239-51.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #KHS [19:03:21] * Athaven (Athaven@c-67-174-239-51.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has left #KHS [19:03:31] * Amroth (Athaven@c-67-174-239-51.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #KHS [19:05:08] * Demota changes topic to '[21] Steddha, Danith, [20] Dragonshield 2, [19] Drake, Dragonshield 1, [17] Dresdin [16] Wyrmpriest, [14] Fillis, [8] Slinder 1, Boulder, [7] Ahzgrit' [19:08:26] * Dresdin moves forwards towards the kobolds on the rock and was astonished to see other kobolds up aheads. He darts ahead to the nearby stairwell and hides from view. The perplexed kobolds knew they saw someone, but aren't quite sure what happened to him, hopefully. [19:09:05] * The Kobold priest raises his wand in the general direction of Dresdin, then blinks, puzzled. [19:09:08] [Fillis' turn] [19:11:16] * Fillis waves his hands a bit and aims in the general direction of the drake. Rays of light stabbed into the drake, killing it quickly and leaving Fillis with a smirk on his face. [19:12:40] * The kobold near Dresdin panics at the clamor of fighting and the sound of magical fire being exchanged. He stomps hard on a tile near him, lifting a panel just under the boulder and sending it rolling forward. [19:13:00] * The boulder tumbles forward. It hits no one this time, but it continues on its deadly tour of the room [19:16:54] * Ahzgrit runs in, keeping an eye on the boulder. He takes aim at the kobold that set it off. "Ye and yer little traps." [19:19:18] * Ahzgrit 's eyes flash as his arrow pierces the kobold's side. "Not so smart now, are ye." [19:19:47] * Demota changes topic to '[21] Steddha, Danith, [20] Dragonshield 2, [19] Drake, Dragonshield 1, [17] Dresdin [16] Wyrmpriest, [14] Fillis, [11] Amroth [8] Slinder 1, Boulder, [7] Ahzgrit' [19:25:39] * The kobold shrieks in pain [19:26:57] * Danith fires off a blue ray of energy at one of the kobolds huddled near the stairs. The ray strikes true and the kobold visibly slouches as it struggles to hold its weapon up. [19:28:58] * Steddha catches the boulder moving out of the corner of her eye, and beats feet to follow behind it, thinking ahead. [19:30:36] * One of the shield-weilding kobolds steps a little closer to Danith to form a better defensive line, his giant dragon scale held up. [19:31:21] * The other is surprised bt the ray, and follows after the other one, trying to set up a better position. [19:31:27] * Dresdin's turn [19:31:55] * The kobold seems to regain its strength. [19:34:26] * Dresdin darts out of the shadows and puts a very large hole in the kobolds neck. The kobold collapses in heap: dead. [19:36:40] * The priest steps forward and hurls a ball of frost at Danitharas, landing a solid hit. [19:36:59] [Fillis' turn] [19:39:45] * Fillis moves up to support the soloed out Danith, managing to score a powerful attack on one of the kobolds. [19:40:06] * Two kobolds climb up and get onto the central walls, hurling sling stones. HOwever, either of them hit. [19:40:16] * Demota changes topic to '[21] Danith, Steddha, [20] Dragonshield 2, [19] Dragonshield 1, [17] Dresdin [16] Wyrmpriest, [15] Slinger 2, Slinger 3 [14] Fillis, [8] Slinger 1, Boulder, [7] Ahzgrit' [19:41:13] * The boulder continues its roll, narrowly missing one of the shielded kobolds. [19:41:16] [Ahzgrit's turn] [19:41:39] Get in that corrider danith! [19:41:45] * Demota changes topic to '[21] Danith, Steddha, [20] Dragonshield 2, [19] Dragonshield 1, [17] Dresdin [16] Wyrmpriest, [15] Slinger 2, Slinger 3 [14] Fillis, [12] Amroth, [8] Slinger 1, Boulder, [7] Ahzgrit' [19:42:18] [Amroth's turn] [19:43:16] Are those kobolds in the middle on a 10 foot platform looking down? [19:45:50] * Amroth leaps into harms way and recites his chant on Danith, fully expunging his wounds. He fires off a lance past the boulder, but misses. [19:46:22] [Ahzgrit's turn] [19:49:31] * Ahzgrit dashes alongside the wall, knocking an arrow as he runs. He comes to a stop, aiming at one of the slingers. [19:50:27] * Ahzgrit curses as his arrow goes wide. [19:50:36] [Danith's turn] [19:52:32] * Danith snarles angrily as he misses again with a ray spell. [19:53:15] * Danith kicks the dead drake inside the small corridor and hides in there. [19:53:17] [Steddha's turn] [19:55:55] * Steddha cackles, seeing her opening... and boils ahead, letting loose a roushing dwarvish warcry before her hammer comes sweeping down at the shieldbearing kobold. [19:58:26] * Steddha's swing misses, and the two dragonshields form up and strike at her with their spears. One of them manages to penetrate her defenses. [19:58:51] [Dresdin's turn] [20:07:55] * Dresdin moves to the ledge and starts to peel away at the door's hinges via shurikens [20:09:10] * The priest shouts out a word of encouragement and bolsters his allies, and tries to jab Steddha with his spear, but misses. [20:10:23] * The sling-weilding kobolds hurl green jars at Dresdin, but misses. The other hurls one at Fillis and lands, sticking him to the ground [20:10:55] [Fillis' turn] [20:11:02] * Disconnected [20:11:05] * Attempting to rejoin channel #KHS [20:11:05] * Rejoined channel #KHS [20:11:05] * Topic is '[21] Danith, Steddha, [20] Dragonshield 2, [19] Dragonshield 1, [17] Dresdin [16] Wyrmpriest, [15] Slinger 2, Slinger 3 [14] Fillis, [12] Amroth, [8] Slinger 1, Boulder, [7] Ahzgrit' [20:11:05] * Set by Demota!demota@c-76-126-71-112.hsd1.ca.comcast.net on Sun Sep 21 19:41:49 [20:11:25] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota * Retrieving #KHS modes...

"Oh shit." He thought to himself, and quickly pulls out a stronger spell to attack the kobold on top of the platform, hoping to minimize the damage done to him. [20:17:18] [Amroth's turn] [20:21:40] * Amroth runs past the boulder and fires off a ray of light at the target before him. The kobold is hit and illuminated for Steddha's next shot. [20:22:32] * The boulder rolls onward. Ahzgrit is quick enough to get out of the way, but Fillis is knocked down as it passes him. [20:23:30] * Ahzgrit laughs as he casually dodges the boulder. "Hah! You call that a trap? Where's the lava? Where are the elephants?" [20:24:49] * Ahzgrit removes himself from the path of the boulder, back to the corner. He takes aim at the slinger. [20:27:04] * Demota changes topic to '[21] Danith, Steddha, [20] Dragonshield 2, [19] Dragonshield 1, [17] Dresdin [16] Wyrmpriest, [15] Slinger 2 [14] Fillis, [12] Amroth, [8] Boulder, [7] Ahzgrit' [20:27:29] [Danitharas' turn] [20:27:34] ( After Ahzgrit goes ) [20:27:50] * Ahzgrit lets his arrow fly, and it strikes true, going through the kobold's eye and sticking out the back. "AHAHAHAHAH!" [20:29:10] * Danith fires off another volley of magic missiles at a kobold, all which miss their targets. [20:29:28] [Steddha'sturn] [20:31:20] * Steddha sweeps her hammer out to cause some trouble, but fails to make a dent. Instead, she takes a step back carefully, re-evaluating her situation. [20:32:13] * Steddha also spits, hissing at herself for being so lax. They won't get her this time, though! [20:32:31] * The kobolds pursue her with their spears, but can't get the point past her concentrated defenses. [20:32:41] [Dresdin's turn] [20:35:01] * Dresdin throws some more shurikens at the door, but was a bit off. The door is standing, barely. [20:35:09] * The priest raises his want and sends a ball of ice hurling past Steddha and onto the floor where it splatters. The surviving sling-weilding kobold raises his sling and hurls a green glue pot at STeddha, which strikes her, shatters, and fixes her to the groupd. [20:35:11] [Fillis' turn] [20:35:30] * Fillis slowly got back up then quickly checks his own wounds. [20:36:31] [Amroth's turn] [20:37:14] (Strike that) [20:38:01] * Fillis shakes his head clear and fires at the remaining shooter near the middle of the room, striking it with bolts of energy. [20:38:22] [Amroth's turn] [20:40:10] * Amroth aims another beam of light at the same target. It hits and the kobold lights up like a roman candle. [20:40:40] * The boulder tumbles further down the hall, turning a corner. It looks like it's preparing for another strafing run. [20:40:53] [Ahzgrit's turn] [20:41:13] * Ahzgrit dashes along the side of the room, nocking another arrow. He targets the next slinger. [20:43:26] * Ahzgrit grins nastily as the next kobold drops. "That's two! Bring some more!" [20:43:34] [Danitharas' turn] [20:48:39] * Danith fires off a full burst of magic missiles at a kobold. the unsuspecting kobold is torn apart by the barrage of missiles. [20:48:48] [Steddha's turn] [20:52:23] * Demota changes topic to '[21] Danith, Steddha, [20] Dragonshield 2, [17] Dresdin [16] Wyrmpriest, [15] Slinger 2 [14] Fillis, [12] Amroth, [8] Boulder, [7] Ahzgrit' [20:54:35] * Steddha whips her hammer out to strike down the shieldbearer in front of him, and then wastes little time in trying to get some distance between her and the damned boulder, all while defending herself from passing attack. [20:55:11] * The remainign dragonshield rusehs at Steddha to try to keep her AWAY from the priest. His spear meets nothing but Steddha's shield. [20:55:17] [Dresdin] [20:58:16] * Dresdin throws some more shurikens at the door. The door falls with a loud clang as the hinges give out. [20:59:05] * After the dust settles, Dresdin can see in. Inside the door there's just more walls, and some ladders leading up. That must be how the kobolds got to the top. He spots some other stuff, but they don't seem important right now given the urgency of the fight [20:59:27] I run towards the stairway [21:01:07] * The priest glares at Steddha and shouts in Draconic. If she could speak Draconic, she'd hear him say somethign like [21:01:19] * With that, he inhales. The air fogs up... [21:01:36] * Then he breathes out in a torrent of frost and ice. Steddha is able to resist the worst of it, but she can't escape completely unharmed. [21:02:14] [Fillis' turn] [21:03:30] * Fillis (senranda@74.12.129.225) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [21:06:48] * Fillis (senranda@74.12.122.124) has joined #KHS [21:10:02] * Fillis moves up a bit to avoid the roll of the rock, but in his haste he failed to get a good shoot at the kobold. [21:10:20] [Amroth's turn] [21:14:37] * Amroth moves back and concentrates his fire at the wyrmpriest, but the commotion of the battle disrupts his focus and he misses. [21:16:18] * The boulder shows up (GARBAGE DAY!) and slams into Steddha, knocking her down. It slams into Amroth and pauses briefly on him before he can squeeze out. [21:17:44] * Steddha falls down, and after groaning out an expletive, stays down. [21:20:39] * Ahzgrit narrows his eyes, carefully taking aim at the wyrmpriest and letting another arrow fly. [21:21:44] * Ahzgrit curses his bad luck. [21:21:56] [Danitharas] [21:22:28] Move out one square. [21:22:47] Since the "boulder" doesn't block LoS, I'll hit wyrmpriest with MM. [21:22:56] ( OOC Chanenl, but sure ) [21:25:04] * Streams of light began gathering at Danith's arcane commands as he lets off a magic missile far larger than before. It smashes into the wyrmpriest's face. [21:27:24] * The priest shrieks in agony and reaches for his eyes. [21:27:28] [STeddha's turn] [21:27:29] * Steddha coughs for a moment, and wipes her mouth before she drags herself back to her feet, shaked but not yet defeated. "One more time, you bastards..." [21:27:38] [Dresdin's turn] [21:29:17] * The dragonshield glares at Steddha, steps up, and strikes her with his spear, which is just barely enough to knock her back down. [21:29:30] Bastard... [21:29:39] * Steddha keels over again, chuckling a little at her misfortune. [21:35:07] * Dresdin throws some shurikens at the priest whom amazingly still stands. [21:36:06] * the priest shouts, then glares ant Dresdin. He sends a ball of ice flying at him, but misses his mark [21:36:09] [Fillis] [21:38:11] * Fillis tries to fire a bolt of energy at the kolbold, but it hits the boulder instead. [21:39:21] [Amroth's turn] [21:40:49] * Demota changes topic to '[21] Danith, Steddha, [20] Dragonshield 2, [17] Dresdin [14] Fillis, [12] Amroth, [8] Boulder, [7] Ahzgrit' [21:42:00] * Amroth chants his last healing word on Steddha and sears the wyrmpreist with holy light. He chuckles a bit at the kill that results. [21:42:43] * The boulder tumbles past the group just out of its reach. THe ground shakes with its seething fury as it turns the corner. [21:42:47] * Ahzgrit shifts his aim to the remaining kobold. "Heh." [21:43:30] * Ahzgrit 's face falls as the shot goes wide. [21:43:34] [Danith's turn] [21:43:45] * Steddha coughs a second time. "I swear..." [21:47:04] * Danith moves forward and begins to gather the streams of magical energy once more to fire off another huge missile. It slams into the kobold's gut. The kobold gasps for breath. [21:47:13] * Steddha turns to the kobold, death in her eyes. "I will see you DEAD!" She brings her hammer down with a single, bonebreaking sweep, usually of the sort to allow her allies a means of escape. [21:47:18] [Steddha's turn] [21:48:47] * Steddha then.. misses. Utterly. She snarls, but stands her ground. [21:49:09] * The kobold hisses. He jabs Steddha with his spear [21:49:37] [Dresdin's turn] [21:53:11] * Dresdin threw more shurikens finishing off the kobold. [21:53:50] * The kobold falls to the ground and dies. [21:53:53] [Combat over] [21:54:17] * Fillis watches the rock goes round and round... [21:54:25] * Amroth sighs in relief [21:54:58] * Ahzgrit laughs, and starts looting. [21:55:07] * Steddha spits, and finds a nice section of stairway to sit on. "... worst day ever, I swear." [21:55:16] * Amroth glances over at Steddha, making sure she's alright. She really made him work today... [21:55:19] Could have been more blood, but pretty satisfying all the same. Not a bad fight. [21:56:00] * Danith puts away his sword and wand. He leans against the wall. [21:56:25] I really need to get away from the books and visit a target range. [21:57:52] * Fillis checks up on Steddha. "Are you alright?" He asks. [21:58:18] Are you doubting my work? [21:59:26] No, no. Just checking on our dear friend's feelings. [22:00:10] Of course I'm only talking in jest. [22:00:24] * Amroth laughs a bit. [22:02:01] * Steddha spits again. "I'll manage." [22:02:56] Pft. A little pain is good for ya. Like that could stop a dwarf anyway. [22:04:21] * Fillis wonders if that's true. "But anyways, let's rest a bit and tend to our wounds. We'll keep going afterwards. Is that alright with everyone?" [22:04:57] So long as I get to horribly kill the first thing we see. [22:04:57] I don't think we have any other option but that. [22:05:24] * Ahzgrit shrugs. "Okay by me." [22:05:29] * Amroth notices Steddha gazing intently at the boulder that's still rolling around. [22:06:40] * Now that the fight's over, you have a bit of time to take in your surroundings a bit more. This place seems well-insulated. Not a bad place to rest, by any means. Danith also takes notice of the fallen wyrmpriest's wand. [22:07:56] * Danith bends down to pick up the wand as he finished cutting off the kobolds ears as proof that they elminiated the threat. [22:08:17] * Fillis takes the time to check around the room while he's at it, being careful to not be squished. [22:08:42] * Steddha is resting, grumbling, and pondering how much ale it'll take to drown out the memory of the past battle. [22:10:41] * Fillis finds nothing else elsewhere in the room of note, but does find that the priest carries a pouch, containing a silver key, and with it, a note. [22:11:01] What does the note say? [22:12:46] * Fillis tries to read the note? [22:13:18] * The note describes the location of a hidden door in an alcove. It looks like the note was an order to build a secret chamber... [22:13:50] * Fillis mentions what the note says, but is somewhat distrustful of it. [22:14:25] * Reading it more, you come to realize that "Szartharrax" must be nested within. [22:14:27] Secret chamber? How suspicious [22:16:10] Szartharrax? Nested? [22:16:16] * Fillis rolls his eyes. "Ya... just a note and somewhere something. ung." [22:16:50] Nested? Sounds like something to kill. [22:18:33] A nest underground? [22:18:56] Killing. I can get behind that. [22:19:14] Looks like I have to watch your back yet again. [22:19:53] Well, if this Szartharrax fellow is threatening the region, then it's our job to finish him or her off. [22:20:09] * Amroth silently agrees. [22:21:06] * Fillis just sighs. "Oh well. More gold is more gold..." [22:22:44] And more killing is more killing. [22:23:29] * Danith pockets the wand as he finds a place to sit down and meditate for a while. [22:24:31] * Amroth kneels and quietly says a short prayer to Bahamut. [22:25:02] * Steddha grumbles more about ale. [22:27:23] [Session End] [22:27:51] * Amroth (Athaven@c-67-174-239-51.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has left #KHS End of #KHS buffer Sun Sep 21 22:27:56 2008
