Session Start: Thu Sep 14 19:11:41 2000 [19:11] *** Now talking in #rpg2 [19:11] *** shotan sets mode: +o kasin [19:11] *** shotan has quit IRC [19:12] My connection today seems to be really slow. [19:12] * kasin nods [19:13] I've been playing the icewind dale trilogy. Not too great. [19:13] oh? [19:13] I can't wait 'til they bring out the sequel to Plansecape: Torment. [19:13] * kasin nods [19:14] The graphics of ID aren't as good, the plot is more obviously H&S ... although the voices for the characters are fun. [19:15] * kasin nods [19:15] I generally don't like computer rpg [19:16] where the focus is on the rp'ing - cuase generally the rp'ing isn't very good [19:16] I'd prefer a more linear story for computer games - that way it can be a good one [19:16] rather than "wander around until you find the blah" [19:17] *** alamark has joined #rpg2 [19:17] P'ting!

[19:22] sigh [19:23] *** alamark has quit IRC (Read error to alamark[host88.ichr.uwa.edu.au]: Connection reset by peer) [19:24] *** GM has quit IRC (Leaving) [19:24] *** Disconnected Session Close: Thu Sep 14 19:24:27 2000 Session Start: Thu Sep 14 19:24:31 2000 [19:24] *** Now talking in #rpg2 [19:24] *** GM has joined #rpg2 [19:25] *** alamark has joined #rpg2 [19:25] bugger [19:25] *** kasin sets mode: +o alamark [19:25] *** kasin sets mode: +o GM [19:25] well [19:25] What's ID? [19:25] we were in the middle of a fight [19:25] icewind dale, a CRAPG [19:25] :) [19:26] *** GM has quit IRC (Leaving) [19:26] is the almighty GM hearing this? [19:26] doh [19:28] * kasin waits [19:33] * kasin waits [19:34] :) [19:39] *** GM has joined #rpg2 [19:39] Finally! [19:39] hi [19:39] yes! [19:39] Hi [19:39] *** kasin sets mode: +o GM [19:39] ok, we were in the middle of a battle... [19:39] Yes. [19:40] Alamark was besieged by minor demons, but four of them were enthralled by his appaling bad taste in shirts... [19:40] 4 left on Kasin, (2 badly wounded), 7 on alamark (4 hyp), one manizu, N and G are fighting [19:40] Hey, you gave him that shirt! [19:41] nah, it's just alamark's bufness that has them paralysed [19:41] say, are these female demons? [19:41] :) [19:41] LET THERE BE BATTLE! [19:42] LET THERE BE DICE so that there may be initiative. [19:42] the dice are being summoned... [19:42] the summoning proceeds slowly... [19:43] as daemon after daemon refuses the conenction of the spell [19:43] * GM casts "speel summoning". [19:43] Ahh... use devils. They'll want the battle resolved too. [19:44] not a bad roll [19:44] OK .. state actions. [19:44] * kasin is going to whack the demons around her, trying to end up near the amnizu at te end of the round [19:45] Lemme check my spells [19:46] The amnizu is quite some distance away ... having been using half-moves every round to move away. [19:47] how far? [19:47] I do a Hold Person on the manes still attacking me [19:48] Umm.. how fast does Shotan move on the Astral? [19:48] "But I wanna cast a Magic Missile!!!" [19:48] MR 100 [19:48] (Love that clip!) [19:48] ((checks) [19:48] nope, 60 [19:48] OK, Shotan will not get there in a half move. [19:48] it's normally int x3 [19:49] (ergo, the amnizu will have a good move too) [19:49] A full move, yes. [19:49] (Yeppers) [19:49] OK... lights ... camera ... [19:50] splat! [19:50] I'm start rolling :) [19:50] On fast, the party may act. [19:50] Hold Person on the three manes [19:51] Two of them stop trying to claw at you. [19:51] Mitsumi kicks at the third, but doesn't do more than move it slightly. [19:52] Kasin chops at a devil and... [19:53] ? [19:53] fast: 5, 37, 20 [19:54] d100 [19:54] d100 [19:54] You chop down one of the critters - an unwounded one. [19:54] Meanwhile, the Amnizu has finished gesturing and a small sphere leaps from his hand at A and M ... fireball! [19:55] Save alamark [19:55] Shit [19:55] roll again [19:56] (you have a neg save don't you?) [19:56] I guess this is use a CP time - mainly for the item saving throws [19:56] Ah yes [19:56] Shit [19:56] * GM laughs wickedly! [19:56] Changing your fscking dicebot!! [19:56] doh! [19:56] it's been fine for me - virtually every attack a critical hit! [19:57] I spend a CP - !#@(P%@%(%^*## [19:57] OK... this battle seems to be costing them. Mitsumi has already used 2. [19:57] I've used 2 as well [19:57] roll already [19:58] * kasin wiats for Sophie to roll [19:58] (shall I say what Kasin does on average, low and very slow?) [19:58] OK [20:00] average: 37, 39 damage, slow: 29, 54, v. slow: 40, 27 (all of these were crits :) [20:00] We can't use group CPs [20:00] roollllll [20:00] True. [20:00] Roll what? [20:00] Are you going to use a personal CP? [20:00] Yes, I already said so [20:00] I spend a CP - !#@(P%@%(%^*##$ [20:00] well, roll then! [20:00] Did you see that? [20:01] yes, you still have to roll [20:01] Yes, but we're waiting for you to roll again. [20:01] ah [20:01] Fine [20:01] I guess that makes then? [20:02] Yes - not to mention Ring of FR reducing damage [20:02] What rings are you wearing? [20:04] That and Ring of Prot +5 [20:04] My usual [20:06] * kasin waits [20:06] Alamark takes 10 points of damage. [20:06] ok [20:06] moderately wounded [20:07] OK. [20:07] Misumi got caught fully by the blast but doesn't seem too badly off. [20:07] Kasin and Shotan meanwhile kill their last three opponents. [20:08] (didn't do Ahotan's attacks, assumed it wasn't necessary :) [20:09] * kasin heads towards the amnizu [20:09] Actions for next round? [20:10] Oh.. hang on... [20:10] The little guy still facing Alamark misses. There are no stoneskins left to take off. [20:10] Now, actions for next round. [20:11] I'll MM the bastard [20:11] how far away is the amnizu? [20:11] Now that another half-move has passed, he's more than a full move away. You could do a charge to get to him though. [20:11] charge it is [20:12] OK... init. [20:13] heh [20:13] Kasin starts to charge through the drifting bodies towards the amnizu ... although the bodies seem to be twitching. [20:14] Alamark hulrs a magic missile at the remaining little guy before he can do anuthing. [20:14] All at the little guy, I assume? [20:15] Yep [20:15] Damage? [20:15] (please preroll this kind of stuff Sophie, it saves time.) [20:16] (obviously it's going to do damage, you don't need to be told to roll) [20:16] (shall we continu with Kasin while alamark is "paralysed"?) [20:17] 17 [20:17] As Kasin charges towards the Amnizu, he gestures and is suddenly surrounded by a billowing cloud of yellowish vapours. [20:17] oh well... [20:18] The guys is sent hurling backwards with holes punched into him ... he is still writhing but is dritfing away fast. [20:18] Kasin charges into the vapour? The amnizu is no longer visible. [20:19] no, go around [20:19] Kasin won't attack it, she will heal herself instead (assuming she can change her action to do so) [20:19] No.. the charge is a full-move action. [20:19] shotan's action? :) [20:20] Kasin hasn't actually done anything yet except hold onto shotan [20:20] noting that kasin doesn't need to control shotan as she would a normal horse - he can do independant actions [20:21] Hmm... OK. Since you just need to touch it. [20:21] Alamark will note that several of the bodies that Kasin killed seem to be righting themselves and heading towards him. [20:21] she is holding it now (has used in battle) - just needs to say command word [20:21] OK... Kasin heals herself. [20:21] Actions for next round? [20:21] Can I Fireball them safely? [20:22] any spoons for the mousse? [20:22] if you lose initiative they might be close enough that they either escape the fireball or it hits you as well. Not to mention Mitsumi. [20:22] found it [20:23] Besides, it the pea hits one of them by accident.... but you can try anyway if you want. [20:24] Alamark, are you going to? [20:24] Kasin, what do you do? [20:24] To Glenn: yes, hold on [20:24] Hows about forking a LB? [20:24] (i've found it, don't worry) [20:25] You could get two (of three) out of the ones obviously back up and coming at you. [20:26] Of course, they could be in melee with Mitsumi by then. [20:27] I'll risk it - "What the fork, let's do it!" [20:27] OK. Kasin? [20:28] no sign of the bad guy? [20:28] no [20:28] (BTW, I'm assuming Kasjin isn't dying any more) [20:29] go inside the cloud looking for it [20:29] (Nope) [20:29] OK... init [20:29] Kasin moves towards the cloud and alamark starts his spell. [20:30] The risen creatures head for alamark... [20:30] ...who feels a little tingly all of a sudden. [20:30] Save vs Spell, Alamark. [20:30] yep [20:30] Some sort of mental spell, but you shrug it off. [20:31] The closest one of the risen three closes with Mitsumi ... they seem to be moving quite slowly so the others haven't gotten to her yet. [20:31] * kasin plus Shotan adn Viv search for the amnizu [20:32] One of its claws hit her, dealing minor damage. [20:32] Kasin and shotan enter the cloud ... it smells horrible! Your eyes water. [20:33] (Dispel roll..) [20:33] (Save vs Spell) [20:33] bah! level 15 [20:33] magic resiatance? [20:33] (Poison based) [20:33] make [20:33] (OH yes...) [20:33] fail that [20:33] make save [20:34] OK... you are in the cloud but still don't see anything. [20:34] You search... [20:34] ...and Alamark's LB goes off. [20:34] 35 points of damage [20:34] Do you want to get the one in melee with Mitsumi and the one behind him, or just one of them? [20:35] If you get the one in melee there's a chance of Mitsumi being hit. [20:35] Just one will have to do [20:35] OK... you blast the rear one... [20:36] ...and it literally explodes, spraying bits everywhere. [20:36] Both of you make a perception check. [20:36] make by 10 [20:37] Kasin, you think you saw movement in the cloud ... beneath you. [20:37] * kasin rotate and move towards [20:37] Indeed, you see a humanoid shape finishing its gestures. Nothing appears to happen though. [20:37] (You'll get one attack with each weapon.) [20:38] * kasin maybe an illusion, attack anyway [20:38] Bugger, not quite a critical success [20:38] DV 36 and 35 (hit I assume) [20:38] damage 6+26 [20:38] Alamark, you notice that the little tykes that were staring at your shirt seem to be stirring. The LB might just have woken them... [20:39] I move away [20:39] Kasin, dispel and MR rolls. [20:39] Alamark half-moves back, away from the nasties. [20:39] level 23, fail MR [20:40] Your weapons bounce off the amnizu. [20:40] rats [20:40] Actions next round? [20:40] attack, shotan too [20:41] Cast Fire Shield [20:41] (Cold or hot?) [20:42] cold - protn from fire version as per usual [20:43] OK.. init. [20:43] doh... [20:44] OK... on fast... [20:44] Fire Shield [20:45] A ball of fire envelops the little guys, Mitusmi, and the place where Alamark was. [20:45] Looks like a delayed blast FB. [20:46] The devils don't seem to be hurt, but Mitsumi is smoking. [20:46] make [20:46] Luckily alamark had moved away and wasn't affected... [20:46] (you weren't there) [20:47] The amnizu is still chanting... [20:47] attack when she is able [20:47] Mitsumi is being attacked by the risen guys. [20:48] The litte ones are chargins towards alamark. [20:48] The nearest one finishes the charge in a half-move and attacks. [20:48] But misses... [20:48] Alamark's shield appears ... Kasin can attack. [20:48] OH yes, Kasin. Save vs spell. [20:49] make easily :) [20:49] OK [20:49] The cloud is making you want to throw up, but you keep control of yourself. [20:50] Kasin can attack... [20:51] The little guys swarm around Alamark but don't manage to hurt him ... or themselves. [20:51] 6 hits over F,A and S [20:52] OK... *bounce* [20:52] thought so :( [20:52] ..and he gestures at Kasin... [20:52] Dispel and MR. [20:53] Alamark, you feel a tingling again. Make a Save vs Spell. [20:53] ouchies [20:53] :) [20:53] what kind of attack? [20:53] Kasin, save vs spell. [20:53] (None of the ones you get a bonus against.) [20:54] Where is the attack on me coming from? [20:54] You don't know. [20:54] I assume you failed, alamark? [20:54] yes [20:54] so non-physical, non-mental? [20:54] if so, she fails [20:55] (where physical = armour protects) [20:55] OK... kasin suddenly find herself moving backwards away from the amnizu... and shotan. [20:56] uh, ok [20:56] Alamark, are you going to use a CP? It won't be directly fatal if you don't but will cerainly have implications on the battle. [20:56] (And you won't like it.) [20:56] What makes you think ilike it now? [20:57] (Do you use a CP?) [20:57] No [20:57] OK... other window then. [20:58] Actions for next round? [20:59] don't know. what can I do? [20:59] (Update: Kasin has headed backwards out of the cloud and Alamark is surrounded by munchkins.) [20:59] (Kasin: Currently you can do anything you want, as long as it includes moving away from the amnizu at top speed) [21:00] well, I move away from the amnnizu at top speed then! [21:00] (not being able to do anything else and move at top speed) [21:01] (Umm... oh yeah. Can't really do a charge and cast spell...) [21:01] (My mind is mush) [21:01] Init [21:01] (well, could charge the munchkins I suppose. yeah, I'll do that) [21:02] (if I can) [21:02] (Actually .. Kasin _could_ do a charge on the big guy that N is fighting. You'd be moving away to do that.) [21:02] (There is also a munchkin floating back towards the fight. Seems fairly badly wounded.) [21:03] nah, charge through the middle of the munchkins, dealing death left and right :) [21:03] passing through that particular munchkin especially [21:03] Do you want to do the two abashai fighting Mitsumi or the munchkins fighting alamark? [21:04] Noting you'll only get one attack sequence in either case. [21:05] alamark [21:05] OK... [21:05] Init... [21:05] heh [21:05] Kasin charges towards alamark, who begins to cast a spell... [21:06] Mitsumi hits at the abashai, downing one. [21:06] (can I pick up the lone munchkin on the way?) [21:06] OOC: Damn you Kasin [21:06] (no) [21:06] Alamark finishes his spell before Kasin comes too close ... and a ball of fire envelopes him and the munchkins. [21:07] (Alamark, save vs spell) [21:07] Yep [21:08] Does it have any effect on them? [21:08] ("Sith lords should learn to stay away from wells") [21:08] OK... you are untouched. As are the munchkins... who attack ferociously. [21:09] One of them claws at you for 4 points, and shrieks as your shield zaps him. [21:10] Kasin, you'll descend on the munchkins from behind. [21:10] (didn't get the lone munchkin?) [21:11] (As I said, no - wrong angle) [21:11] (ok) [21:11] * kasin yells at the muchkins as she charges [21:11] They ignore her completely. [21:11] 4+32 damage [21:11] (oh well, they ahd their chance) [21:12] On sepearet ones I assume? [21:12] yep [21:12] You cut one in half and hurt the other. [21:13] Mitsumi is stung by the abashai's tail but actually makes a save. [21:13] She is looking moderately wounded. [21:14] Actions next round (Kasin, you're no longer forced to move away.) [21:14] (Oh yes, Shotan will presumably attack twice ... almost forgot) [21:14] two hits [21:14] (yay!) [21:15] How many manes are attacking me? [21:15] turn around and charge back the other way, passing the munchkins on the way and slashing at them again [21:15] (what did Shotan's hits do? anything?) [21:15] Two munchkins attacking. [21:15] *bounce* *bounce* [21:15] oh well [21:15] The amnizu half-moves out of the cloud. [21:16] presumbly Shotan will give chase [21:17] How far do you move in a round? [21:17] How is Nathaniel going? [21:18] Both N and G are moderately wounded. N seems to be being backed away, however. [21:18] (Kasin moves 270 feet in a round, 405 ft (135 yd) if charging [21:19] OK... [21:19] *zzzzzoooommmmms past* [21:20] Mitsumi? [21:20] Mitsumi is moderately wounded, as I just said. She is facing a single abashai. [21:20] The abashai looks badly wounded. [21:21] Action, alamark? [21:21] Attack one of the manes with my dagger [21:22] OK.. init [21:22] good init rolls for the PCs today [21:23] d20 [21:23] OK ... both of you may attack the munchkins. [21:24] ..while Mitsumi fells the last of the abishai. [21:24] AC 0 [21:24] Hit [21:24] Sorry - 5 [21:24] -5 [21:24] minus 5 [21:24] I get the idea. [21:24] fast: 4 and 31 damage, continue on past the lone munchkin (gotta get 'em all!) [21:25] You deviate towards the lone munchkin? [21:25] Alamark, what is the damage? If I say you hit then roll for damage, OK? [21:26] d4 [21:26] rooollll it [21:26] 8 [21:27] You stab at the munckin, and Kasin attacks him with her knife ... but it lives! [21:27] (Kasin chops another in half with Viv, though.) [21:27] charmed little muchkin [21:27] how many left? [21:27] ..and then hail is flying through the area... [21:28] ..and hits both of you for 11. [21:28] I believe I take extra damage from having Fire Shield on [21:28] The hail knocks down the wounded munchkin! [21:29] hey! [21:29] MR? [21:29] fail anyway :( [21:29] Dispel? [21:30] only if they are close [21:30] level 20 [21:30] OK, not dispelled. [21:30] (Alanark: The extra damage is only if you fail a save - this has no save to fail) [21:31] OK - severely wounded [21:31] Kasin, do you deviate to the incoming munchkin? [21:31] Meanwhile the remaining munchkin attacks alamark but misses. [21:32] Kasin? [21:32] b [21:32] yes, do so [21:33] OK... one attack with viv... [21:34] OK... it's toast. Actualy, with that hit it's an omlette... [21:34] loads of damage [21:34] 57 damage +super crit effect [21:35] OK.. Shotan gets to attack the amnizu... [21:35] two hits [21:35]
