message 201: by Sarah Rose (new)

Sarah Rose  (szukiswift) ((poop. My person's almost dead.)) "Thanks...Volmer...," Orthea murmured as she was being healed. Her head still really hurt. ((Can she see anything?))

Yeah shes alright, she can move normally.

"Give me another 45 minutes?" asked Volmer "We could really use everyone at full health."


message 203: by Davtime (last edited Mar 12, 2011 10:18PM) (new)

Davtime | 72 comments Dav sits up straight and stretches out his back after volmer finishes healing him. He frowns at his damp armor and then realizes that if he doesn’t get it, as well as his glaive, oiled soon, than they will rust beyond repair. He pulls the oil out of his backpack and begins to remove his armor. He observes the air of weariness in the camp and says “I don’t think any of us are fit to move on today. Lets spend the night here and rejuvenate. We still have some sunlight left, lets try and get a fire started with whatever we can find that is dry enough to burn in this forsaken soggy wasteland.” He sees Volmer and goes quiet. He looks down at his glaive heaves a big sigh and says in defeat. “Thanks for the help Volmer... we would have been gonners without you... I am in your debt...” he bows his head respectfully swallowing his pride and realizing that he too is mortal. “My master always said that I would never learn wisdom or patience until I found myself on the brink of death. At the time I assumed that I had already learned enough of both... I thought much of myself... admitting defeat is hard. I will have to work on that if I am to become the perfect warrior.” He smiles and says with a wink “History never remembered the warrior who threw away his life because he couldn’t wait a few minutes longer.” He laughs and turns back to caretaking his gear not awaiting a response. Lost once more in deep thought.

Doc Aeon | 27 comments Nods and thanks Volmer for the healing as he sits up gets his head on right and then stands up. "Guess next time we don't split up haha."


message 206: by [deleted user] (new)

Harny says, "I don't think the split was such a bad idea. The stoic silence was nearly deadly, though. Next time anyone gets in a fight, yell your heads off!"


message 207: by Doc (new)

Doc Aeon | 27 comments Drake Nods. "sounds like a plan."

Ok another 45 minutes has passed. Jaide you can memorize 6 additional spells in the time that volmer has been spamming heal spells.

Orthea is at full HP- 6
Dav is at full HP- 11
Drake is at full Hp- 11

Volmer says, "You can repay me by wreaking vengence in the name of Vidar upon those who hurt you so badly. We shall hunt down the foul lizard-things and avenge the pain that they have caused our comrades."

You guys find enough wood for 2 hours of a fire.

Btw ive changed my mind about xp. you can gain story xp, midway through the campaign by doing something befitting of your character I.e picking a lot, casting a spell in a clever way, avoiding combat in a clever way, doing something that should be done ect..

Monster and treasure exp will be given out after the adventure is over.


message 210: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) ((6 spells-- 3 healing, 1 magic missile, 1 charm person, 1 comprehend languages.))


message 211: by Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D (new)

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) Richardson (tap3w3rm) | 190 comments Mod
((Sorry but the wand lets you cast one free cure light wounds per day and no memorization required. I'm putting in a new house rule. Intellicence score give spell bonus's for magic users just like widsom give clerical spell bonus'.

Therefore you may cast- 2 additional 1st level spells, 2 additional second level spells and 1 additional 3rd level spells. However this doesnt really help you save the extra first level spells because you don't know any 2nd or 3rd level spells!

To KISS- you can cast 3 level one spells per day. Also you don't memorize the cure light wounds from you wand(Which also shoots a second magic missile) and you may memorize the same spell more than once.))


message 212: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) ((so... 1 charm person, 1 shield, 1 comprehend lang, 1 erase...? am I doing this right?))


message 213: by Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D (new)

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) Richardson (tap3w3rm) | 190 comments Mod
((Yes mam! So if you do that your spell list is the following

2 comprhend langauges
1 charm person
1 shield
1 Erase

and you have enough time left to memorize 2 more))


message 214: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) ((All righty, then 1 detect magic and another shield))

Time- 5:00

"We have about an hour or so of daylight left." says Volmer. "How are we going to do watches? Also everyone should oil thier armour and weapons, like Dav did."


message 216: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) "I'll take third watch," Jaide offered, knowing he would need a bit of a kip ((teehee)) before watch.


message 217: by Doc (new)

Doc Aeon | 27 comments Drake Smirks. "well I can take first watch less you guys want to try and makes it back to town before night hits."

Volmer says "I think we must stay in the swamp for today. We have plenty of supplies and are at full strength! I'll take the second watch."


message 219: by [deleted user] (new)

"I'm already on pins 'n' needles. I'll keep watch while you all settle in."

Harny stays alert, short sword in hand, patrolling far enough out to give warning, but near enough to run for aid.


message 220: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments ((is there a fourth watch? if there isn't disregard this first statement))"i will take fourth watch then. if anyone needs me i will be 'focusing my mind and relaxing my body'as my master used to call it" he says in a respectful tone, still sobered by todays experience. Dav stands and goes over to a corner and begins his nightly routine of combat forms, stretches, and meditation.

((Yep Orthea needs to voulenteer for 5th watch haha.))


message 222: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments ((ok... so what happens now?))


message 223: by Sarah Rose (last edited Mar 15, 2011 02:18PM) (new)

Sarah Rose  (szukiswift) ((okay.))

Orthea sleepily looks up. "Hey, shake me when 4th watch is up. I'll do 5th," she yawns, and then closes her eyes for a long time. Her head bobs, and she falls back down in a sleeping position. ((she's not dead, just suuuuuper tired))

You wake up the next day and made it through the night with no problems.

Time- 7:00 AM
Day- 2
Weather- Cloudy


message 225: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments Dav wakes early and refreshed, stokes the fire and begins to run his daily routine while the others awaken and get ready. when he finishes he sits down to give his armor and weapons a good coat of oil while on the look out for anything that could harm the party


message 226: by Sarah Rose (new)

Sarah Rose  (szukiswift) Orthea drowsily wakes up and gets to her feet. She stops to check if she can hear anything, and continues to listen


message 227: by Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D (new)

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) Richardson (tap3w3rm) | 190 comments Mod
Orthea hears not a thing.

"WEhere do we go?" asks Volmer


message 228: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments dav looks up at volmer “well I decided last time and it didn’t end well but if I were to suggest something I would suggest following in the direction that the last lizard man fled. Maybe we will find something interesting and they shouldn’t be to hard to beat together if we run into anymore.”

"I think we can take them, as long as we stay together and get boosted by Dav's spells." says Volmer.

"What does everyone else think?"


message 230: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments ((I have spells! ;) Ha ha wrong character Angus :) ))


message 231: by [deleted user] (new)

Harny looks around a bit grumpily as he awakens. His stomach growls as he sits up and digs in his pack for a bite to quell the disturbance in his gut.


message 232: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments "let's give everyone an hour or so to oil their weapons and take care of their personal affairs and then set out after that lizard!" dav says finishing with a yell to relieve the anger he felt at being bested by that foe


message 233: by Doc (new)

Doc Aeon | 27 comments Drake Yawns as he wakes up and stretches. As he gets to reading his things before taking some time to tends to his weapons and armor, then getting some morning weapon practice done.


message 234: by Sarah Rose (new)

Sarah Rose  (szukiswift) Orthea oils her dagger, and gets up. She checks for anything edible(?)

Time 8:00am

"Shall we be off?" asks Volmer. He has memorized.

3 Cure Light Wounds
1 Create Water
1 Bless

And all orthea finds is swamp grass.

((BTW I'm just gonna say the party has two weeks of rations and about 1 days worth of water.


message 236: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments “let’s go” dav shoulders his backpack holds his glaive and starts to slosh through the water in the direction of the fight yesterday

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) Richardson (tap3w3rm) | 190 comments Mod
The party follows him. It takes 5 minutes to get over there. The bodies of the lizardmen are still there and have large chunks ripped out of them.


message 238: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) Jaide looks over the mangled corpses. "If anyone wants to search the bodies with me, be my guest." He says. "I think there might be something useful. You never know."


message 239: by Sarah Rose (new)

Sarah Rose  (szukiswift) "I will! I'm a thief, after all..." Orthea offered. They searched the corpses for anything of use to them.

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) Richardson (tap3w3rm) | 190 comments Mod
You find a few pouches with some dried scraps of flesh, look to be ears.


message 241: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments Dav shifts impatiently wanting to get moving "does anyone remember the direction that the lizard man ran off in? I was unfortunately unconscious at that time." he looks around at the group hoping that someone will remember


message 242: by Sarah Rose (new)

Sarah Rose  (szukiswift) "no, but I can scout ahead North and see if I can see anything..." Orthea suggested. She ran north, ahead of the group.

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) Richardson (tap3w3rm) | 190 comments Mod
Orthea slogs through the muck and just as she gets out of sitte of the party, she stops. Infront of her is a massive expanse of water.


message 244: by Sarah Rose (new)

Sarah Rose  (szukiswift) Orthea turns around and notifies the rest of the party of her findings.


message 245: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) Jaide brightens. "Great! That means we're getting somewhere!"

"How deep is it Orthea?" asked Volmer. "Did you see how deep the water is?"


message 247: by [deleted user] (new)

Catching up, Harny says, "Orthea, after our last encounter, I'd have thought we'd be staying together. Visibility is lousy in this place."

"Yes I agree, rember what happened when we split up last time? Dav and Drake almost died! We need to keep our numbers and focus our attacks and spells." sayd Volmer


message 249: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments Dav stands there listening to orthea's report not seeing the significance of more water "if there is more water out there all i see coming from it is trouble. there are sure to be crocodiles and if we go to deep we will be helpless against them. i say we continue looking for the lizard men and stay far clear of the lake"


message 250: by Doc (new)

Doc Aeon | 27 comments Drake speaks. "indeed, splitting up here seems to be deadly."
