Start of #KHS buffer: Sun Oct 05 22:43:02 2008 [18:17:07] * Ahzgrit (a@wnpgmb1307w-ad02-32-234.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #KHS [18:17:54] [Hours later, you wake up and find yourselves once again in the dimly lit corridors of Kobold Hall. The rolling stone, has, apparently, stopped rolling sometime when nobody was looking at it. In spite of the poor conditions of the area, rest came easily, and you wake up feeling refreshed.] [18:18:04] [Session Start] [18:18:41] [Correction, the boulder is NOT rolling because it was gradually blown to pieces.] [18:20:31] * Danith rises to his feet and draws his sword and wand. He looks prepared to continue into the depths of hell itself. [18:20:59] * Steddha looks like she's not ready to keeo over for once. In fact, she almost looks like a new (albeit squat) woman. Weapon and shield in hand, she grins a little. [18:21:36] * Fillis stretches a little, but rolls the kinks out of his joints. [18:21:38] [Shortly before your rest, you found a note describing a hidden door in what appeared to be a dead-end corridor. A crude painting of a white dragon's face is on that wall.] [18:22:06] * Ahzgrit is now known as Yon [18:22:25] Hmm, interesting. That can't be a good sign. [18:23:49] * Ahzgrit, for the record, is as surly and mean as ever. But it's a rarin'-to-go sort of surly. [18:24:44] [The note contains a key. The instructions say that Great Szarthrarrax the White lies behind the door, and a hidden panel on the floor conceals a key hole. Anyone inserting the key would have to bow before the image, which no doubt amuses the being within.] [18:27:05] So... Should we follow the note? [18:29:02] Seems too obvious... but meh. [18:30:38] It's not like we have anywhere else to go? [18:32:21] * Ahz spits on the ground. "The sooner we're done, the sooner we're paid and the sooner I'm drunk." [18:34:23] * Fillis sighs. "I guess..." He goes and looks for the hidden panel where the secret entrence is located. [18:35:10] * Fillis finds it easily, now that he's aware of it. A tile slides out, revealing a keyhole in the ground [18:35:29] Guess you're the one bowing ... [18:35:44] * Danith can't help but snicker a bit. [18:35:48] * Steddha snorts a little, although she looks tensed for another fight. [18:36:19] * Fillis gives a 'why me' kind of thought before taking the key and inserting it. "I hope there isn't a trap in this." [18:36:59] Knowing our luck lately, I'll bet there is. [18:37:31] * There's a soft "click" and the wall shifts slightly. [18:37:49] * Fillis backs up a bit and takes a look at how the wall shifted. [18:38:25] * Amroth , Danith, and Dresdin ready up their weapons. [18:39:55] * The wall appears to have shifted so it can be swung on a hinge now visible [18:40:51] * Fillis asks the others, "So... anyone want to be my guest?" [18:41:20] Send the dwarf in. [18:42:40] * Amroth looks around. "Well that got no laughs." [18:43:26] * Dresdin slowly walks down. [18:44:26] * Swinging the door open, you find yet another set of stairs leading down. [18:44:59] * Dresdin slowly walks down. [18:45:43] * Amroth and Danith quickly follow. [18:46:04] * Steddha and Ahzgrit tag along as they should, the two looking like they could use a drink or seven. [18:46:31] * Fillis just follows leisurely behind, putting a rock in the hinges just to make sure it doesn't close on them. [18:47:42] * A tthe bottom ofteh stairs, you find a hallway stretching to the left. The air down here is misty and posessed of an unnatural cold. [18:51:56] * Steddha grits her teeth, not liking what see feels. Ahz simply mutters a vile curse under his breath. [18:52:03] * Dresdin is still slowly walking forward [18:52:24] * Danith looks a bit uncomfortable from the cold, but tredges onwards. [18:52:24] * The hall turns again, and you can see a large chamber with piles of snow everywhere. Several gray stone pillars stand, and a frozen pool of water takes up most of the room [18:54:00] * Danith mutters under his breath. "This is not good." [18:55:10] * Fillis when did we move into the Northern Reaches? [19:00:27] * Everyone but Danith suddenly sees the corner of a great white dragon peeking out from behind a pillar. It looks... angry. [19:02:50] This is bad. * Retrieving #KHS modes... [19:03:06] * Demota changes topic to '[23] Danitharas, [15] Amroth, Fillis, [14] Ahzgrit, [18] Dresdin, [8] Szartharrax, [4] Steddha' [19:03:16] No, really? [19:03:21] [Danitharas is caught off-guard!] [19:03:25] [Amroth's turn] [19:04:39] [Fillis' turn] [19:05:02] * Fillis moves up and tries to cast a spell that may buy them some time. [19:07:46] [Ahzgrit's turn] [19:07:59] * Fillis says, "Gee, this is not going to be fun." [19:08:12] * Azh wastes no time in finding a spot to line himself up a proper shot. "Says you! Been rarin' for a real scrap!" [19:08:48] [Dresdin's turn] [19:13:39] *Dresdin runs past everyone, screaming [19:16:52] [Szartharrax's turn] [19:18:20] * The white dragon roars in fury and shouts in DRaconic. Those who know the language hear it shout He rushes towards the group, wings beating, and exhales a miniature blizzard over Ahzgrit, Steddha, Fillis, and Danith. [19:20:01] * Actually, he doesn't do that. Not enough time. [19:20:03] [Steddha's turn] [19:21:40] * Steddha snarls, marching ahead to get right in the dragon's face. "It's me you're dancing with!" [19:23:24] * Steddha manages to miss, but at the very least she has the thing's attention. [19:23:31] [Danith's turn[] [19:27:58] * Danith raises his arms to cast a fiery sphere of doom. It rolls towards the dragon, but misses it by mere centimeters. [19:31:24] [Amroth's turn] [19:32:33] * Amroth recites an prayer. White light shines from his symbol, burning the dragon. Everyone else in the area feel a tingle of power running through them. [19:32:49] [Fillis' turn] [19:37:14] * Fillis quickly backpeddles, dodging a swipe at him, and spins around to cast a spell, visablely sapping the dragon of its strength and vitalizing himself at the same time. [19:37:46] [Ahzgrit's turmn] [19:39:00] * "And now we have some fun!" Azh wastes no time in taking aim at the beast's lower limbs -- while he can't stop it from walking, he can definitely give is a grievous wound! [19:44:14] * Ahz's grin is a mile wide as he lands the arrow just right. "Bleed, you frigid bitch. Bleed!" [19:44:22] [Dresdin's turn] [19:47:47] * Szartharrax snaps at Ahzgrit furiously in retribution, fang and icicle alike tearing into him. [19:55:11] * Dresdin dashes across the ice and lays down a dark haze that blinds all within it. He strikes at the dragon and misses. [19:59:54] * THe dragon rears back and ROARS. The sudden outburst stuns everyone but Fillis, Amroth, and Dresdin, and he exhales a miniature blizzard over STeddha, Ahzgrit, and Danitharas. [20:03:06] [STeddha's turn] [20:03:17] [Danitharas' turn] [20:03:20] [Amroth's turn] [20:03:22] * Steddha yowls, clutching her ears. [20:07:55] * Amroth 's holy symbol flares up, radiates a wave of light and restores everyone's health by a bit. [20:08:37] * THe dragon snaps its fangs at Amroth, but misses. Meanwhile, while he's distracted... [20:08:40] [Fillis' turn] [20:09:48] * Fillis smirks and says, "Ignoring me will be your last mistake." He points up to the roof of the cave and with a wave downards, calls down brilliant orbs of light that spins around the dragon before seemingly shooting through it, forcing it to be unable to move. [20:10:26] * Szartharrax pauses for a moment, and roars in defiance. [20:10:43] * Yon (a@wnpgmb1307w-ad02-32-234.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [20:11:23] [Ahzgrit's turn] [20:11:25] [Dresdin's turn] [20:11:42] * Ahz mutters something about piss and beer. [20:16:50] * Yon (a@wnpgmb1307w-ad02-32-234.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #KHS [20:17:00] * Dresdin whips his katars into a frenzy, slashing at the dragon's back. Blood spews out as his katars hit their mark. He finishes with a grin on his face. "That's how it's done." [20:18:24] * The dragon feebly tries to digs its cclaws into Steddha, but they bounce off her shield. [20:18:40] * It scowls in fury, and its strength returns... [20:19:54] [STeddha's turn] [20:20:40] I've... had quite enough of you. [20:21:24] * Steddha suddenly flicks her hammer out to bash the damn dragon's head in, all while hoping to buy Azhgrit the time to pull back for a proper shot. [20:24:07] * Steddha finished the swing, and the beast's hide cracks wonderfully under her hammer as she draws blood. "It's about fucking time!" [20:24:21] * Ahzgrit, in the meantime, hobbles back while muttering curses. [20:25:21] * The dragon reels from the blow. Its blood splatters on the ground. Dazed, it tries to collect itself. Then it sees the blood. [20:25:35] [Danitharas' turn] [20:28:04] * Fillis (senranda@bas1-unionville55-1177733788.dsl.bell.ca) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [20:28:27] * Danith vanishes in a flash and reappears on the other side of the dragon. He fires off two points of light at the dragon, but both miss their mark. He curses under his breath. [20:29:14] [Amroth's turn] [20:29:41] * Amroth takes a deep breath, focuses his energy into his symbol ... and misses. [20:30:09] * THe dragon swings a mass of claws at Amroth, gouging a deep trench on the ice, but leaving the cleric unscathed. [20:30:17] [Fillis' turn] [20:31:21] [Ahzgrit's turn] [20:32:07] * Yon is now known as sleepyon [20:34:05] [Fillis' turn] [20:34:55] * Back and away, Ahz grins viciously and lets loose an arrow carefully placed at one of the dragon's open wounds. [20:35:58] * Fillis (senranda@74.12.121.18) has joined #KHS [20:35:59] * ... of course, the arrow goes wide, but he moves back a touch anyway, taking a moment to catch his breath. "Always dragons!" [20:39:09] * Fillis tried to cast a spell, but it went horriblely off-target, not even showing a little fizzle. [20:39:12] [Dresdin's turn] [20:42:44] * Dresdin tries to strike the dragon again. His blows ring hollow against the thick hide. He grimaces as he takes a defensive position. [20:43:04] [Szartharrax] [20:43:31] * Szartharrax howls and roars and thrashes at Steddha. She's caught by two wide swipes of his claws, but barely manages to block his fangs. [20:44:07] [STeddha's turn] [20:47:14] * Steddha is barely standing, but she nonetheless takes a very deep breath, spitting blood. "Why you..." [20:49:34] * Steddha unleashes a vicious overhead smash that misses, but is still more than enough to get her blood boiling. [20:49:38] [Danitharas' turn] [20:51:56] * Danith moves off the ice and behind one of the rocks. He aims at the dragon, but his aim is thrown off and he misses... twice. [20:52:19] [Amroth's turn] [20:53:34] * Amroth 's holy symbol glows yet again and another beam of light shoots forth. The radiance seems to guide Danith's focus. [20:53:37] [Fillis' turn] [20:53:50] * Fillis once again tries to cast a spell, but he choaks on a sylibis, and misses terriblely. [20:54:17] [Ahzgrit's turn] [20:55:24] * "Once more!" Ahz fires another arrow as the beast, aiming carefully... [20:56:29] * The dragon snaps its jaws at Amroth, biting him HARD [20:57:05] * Missing with the first, Ahzgrit growls and lets loose with another arrow. "Come on, damn you!" [20:57:07] * He thrashes his head aaround and lets go of Amroth [20:58:31] [Dresdin's turn] [21:01:08] * Dresdin swings his katars, but they merely clip the dragon's hide. [21:01:19] * The dragon swings a claw at Steddha, missing. It shatters a chunk of ice. [21:01:51] [Steddha's turn] [21:02:15] Quite enough of you! [21:05:01] * Steddha swings and lands a pathetically glancing blow... which only makes her howl with fury, going for a much less careful swing. [21:05:31] [Danitharas' turn] [21:05:38] * ... that tears up ice, but not the dragon. "FUCK!" [21:07:45] * Danith aims carefully and smacks the dragon in the back of the head with his magic. [21:09:47] [Fillis' turn] [21:11:34] [Ahzgrit's turn] [21:12:06] * Fillis moves closer a bit so maybe help stablize the dying Amroth, and tries one more time to cast his spell. This time, it works and a haze of light surrounds the dragon, damaging it slightly. [21:12:23] * Another arrow goes flying at the dragon, Azhgrit having long since lost his cool, even in such a cold room. [21:14:13] * "Bah. Could've done better." Azh them moves back for a slightly better line on the dragon. [21:15:08] [Dresdin's turn] [21:19:16] * Dresdin swings a third time with his katars. The dragon snickers as they hit its scales, but does no damage. [21:20:28] * The dragon smashes Steddha with his claws twice, knocking her flat on her back [21:20:50] [Danith's turn] [21:21:37] * Steddha lands hard, and decides to get up. It surprises her when her body refuses, and the back of helmed head hits the ground as she blacks out. [21:21:45] * Danith fires off another bolt of energy, which sizzles harmlessly above the dragon's head. [21:22:05] [Fillis' turn] [21:27:16] * Fillis keeps to the shadows and runs towards Amroth, hoping to stabilize his situation before it got even worse. [21:30:33] * Fillis draws on his exotic knowledge and manages to get Amroth awake and more importantly, /not dying/. [21:30:58] [Ahzgrit's turn] [21:31:12] * Ahz fires once again, hissing loudly as he feels the pressure mounting. "Was gonna have a brew with that lass ye felled, bastard!" [21:32:08] * ... of course, his arrow skates off of the dragon's hide. "Damn it all!" [21:32:16] [Dresdin's turn] [21:34:36] * Dresdin's katars slice into the dragon this time. But they merely chip off some of its scales and draw only a hint of blood. [21:34:47] * The dragon retaliates and smashes a claw into Dresdin. [21:36:16] [Danith's turn] [21:37:14] * Danith misses again with his magic. [21:39:27] [Amroth's turn] [21:41:01] * Amroth mends Steddha's wounds with his light. [21:41:27] [Fillis' turn] [21:42:09] * Fillis sneaks out from besides Amroth and suddenly attacks the dragon from the shadow from a completely different direction! The bolts of energy lance into the dragon's flesh, causing deep wounds. [21:42:31] [Ahzgrit's turn] [21:42:49] * Ahz fires another arrow... and just scowls as it sparks off of the dragon's scales. "Dagnabbit..." [21:46:56] * Dresdin slices his katars deep into the dragon's flesh. "How does that taste for a change?" he sneers. [21:49:49] * Szartharrax rends the ice with another failed claw swipe directed at STeddha. [21:49:55] [Steddha's turj] [21:52:06] Not... always. [21:52:20] * Steddha gets up, and snarls, lashing out with her hammer. "NOT ALWAYS!" [21:52:25] Aren't you dead yet? [21:53:09] * Steddha misses, but that only seems to make ehr laugh almost maniacally. "All things in time, dragon!" [21:53:15] [Danith's turn] [21:57:27] * Danith angrily concentrates at the dragon. An unusual burst of red energy fires from the tip of his wand. It slams into the dragon's head. Its head gets severed from its body. [21:57:55] * Amroth sighs in relief. [21:58:30] * Danith huffs and puffs. It's obvious that conjuring the magic took a lot out of him. [21:58:47] * Fillis could feel his legs starting to get wobbily. "The gods must hate me or something." He muttered. [21:59:09] * Steddha ... spits. "As much as it beat on me, I should've done that!" [21:59:26] * Azh just ponders urinating on the dragon's head, but thinks better of it. [22:00:24] * Danith walks up to the dragon and takes its head. "We'll need this to verify that we killed a dragon." [22:00:47] Do you need help carrying that thing? [22:01:59] * Danith closes his eyes a magical hand appears and holds the head. [22:02:08] Nope, got it covered. [22:02:51] * Fillis looks at Danith and mutters something about being cheated of all the useful magic that makes life easier. [22:03:44] * Amroth sits down, closes his eyes, and meditates a bit. [22:04:18] [Session End] [22:04:24] Let's head back for now. If there's anything left here that could cause problems to the people of the town, they'll surely give pause since their dragon is dead. [22:04:41] * Steddha finds a piece of clean ice... and starts sucking on it lazily. [22:04:43] I think we could all use a short rest. [22:05:14] * Fillis has little breath and thus has no spare breath for witty humor. [22:08:22] * Amroth (Athaven@c-67-174-239-51.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has left #KHS [22:08:48] * Fillis is now known as Adyen [22:10:12] * Danith is now known as Arios [22:10:16] * Adyen (senranda@74.12.121.18) has left #KHS [22:11:36] * Arios (magelink@adsl-71-131-27-193.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [22:15:19] * Disconnected [22:15:22] * Attempting to rejoin channel #KHS [22:15:23] * Rejoined channel #KHS [22:15:23] * Topic is '[23] Danitharas, [15] Amroth, Fillis, [14] Ahzgrit, [18] Dresdin, [8] Szartharrax, [4] Steddha' [22:15:23] * Set by Demota!demota@c-76-126-71-112.hsd1.ca.comcast.net on Sun Oct 05 19:03:08 [22:15:52] * Demota (demota@c-76-126-71-112.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Deomta))) [22:15:54] * Deomta is now known as Demota [22:15:57] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota [22:16:48] * Steddha (lol@67.233.174.220) Quit (Quit: !)
