Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Some downtime
So it was that the companions, battered but not broken, while having been embittered at the notion that there perhaps was no woman or child to rescue in the first place, had at least recovered quite the haul of valuables for their heroic efforts. As a collective team, the members of the party gathered the loot and made their way towards the exit, assisting Artanis as well in the maneuvering of the twelve foot ladder contraption that would hopefully serve as a bridge to cross the span blocking their escape.
As Artanis lay the bridge down, and tested it for support, the rope along the legs helped to prevent it from skidding, while the center sagged only slightly from the weight of the added rope. And there thankfully on the other side stood Elesia, her beautiful features only enhanced by the act that her pretty white dress was now splattered in a myriad of dirt and blood. “Fear not, for it is not my own, but when we were set upon I feared only the worst for you all trapped below. Come come, let’s get you out of there.”
Xaris, being the lightest of the group, had volunteered to try it first, and with Artanis standing on the lip of the ladder bridge began to make his way across. The bridge was surprisingly strong, and Xaris was able to pick his way across without much effort. The rope helped provide some traction under foot as he went. Safely on the other side, Xaris took a stand on the far end of the ladder, and soon everyone began slowly, making their way across. Fortune was on their side it would seem, and each made their way across in a timely manner. Moonshadow was last to cross, the four legged beast testing the bridge with some uncertainty before crossing. With everyone safely across, Artanis pulled the ladder bridge across the hole, but the unexpected weight of it all when it fell free from the other side tore it from her grasp and it collapsed into the hole below.
Moving back up the corridor, Linnix stopped aside the small chest they had passed earlier, handing Aelistae her candle orbs to give her some light.. While none had even been hinted towards her skills at legerdemain or the thiefly arts, Linnix surveyed the chest, and found a small catch cleverly hidden beneath the lock on the front of the chest. Removing some fine wires and a rounded hoop on the end of a thin piece of tube, defty disarmed the mechanism that would have no doubt caused some sort of harm. Picking the lock afterwards came as childsplay, for it was not a difficult one or of fine quality. Opening the chest, Linnix was rewarded with a silver chain, upon which hung a miniature horse-headed figure. Adding it to the chest of gold that had been carried out from the depths of the complex, Linnix and Aelistae slowly followed everyone outside.
There, finally back into the fleeting warmth of daylight, the companions could see the results of Elesia and Barts own battle. A pair of orcish bodies lay slain on the ground, as well as that of a wolf, once feral and full of mange. Bart sat atop Alice, the signs of wounds and magical healing apparent on his face and arms. “Hail my friends, so good to see you safely back” He paused as the last of the companions, but no others left the cave. “Where are those we were sent to find?”
(Allowing conversation and explaining the events)
Bart simply shakes his head a look of disgust on his face. “And that old man was so convincing I could have sworn he was telling the truth. But enough of that. We have lost the day, and are all tired. Let us make camp in the safety of this cave for the evening. We shall march again at first light.”
As everyone managed to finally relax for a short while, the treasures were piled, and rations shared. Aelistae at one point quietly conversed with Elesia, whom to her happy surprise, was quite skilled at potions and herblore, and began the slow process of identifying what potions were presented to her. At the mentioning of magic items found below, she approaches the pile, and with a barely audible incantation,casts Detect Magic. With some concentration, she points out which effects are magical in nature and mentions she has a single scroll of ‘identify’, and can cast one herself. As Bart goes about divvying up what treasured money has been presented, a fire is constructed and meats and cheeses, wines and waters are produced from the storage of Elesia’s magical pockets.
Finally, some downtime.
The following are what Elesia is abe to discern or identify (without using her two available identify spells those will have to be discussed In chaacter or agreed upon in the q/a)
The following are magical.
blackened magical (unidentified) Holy symbol of Bane
?? Mirrored, quartz encrusted large steel shield (Artanis)
?? Incandescent garnet encrusted short spear (Kasennarion)
Silver chain bearing miniature horse-headed man
The cloaked woman is carrying the following.
A bone wand
A Black and green cloak
Bracers
4 potions, one a foggy grey, two blue ones of different hues, and a white one.
Elesia manages to identify the above potions as A potion of blur, a potion of Cure light wounds, a Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds, and a Potion of Haste.
2 scrolls Elesia also manages to decipher these, as…
A scroll of Fireball CL5, and a scroll of Mage Armor CL 3
A Large Greataxe
A silver and gold ring on one of his tusks
A belt, containing the crescent moon and bloody eye symbol on the buckle. The belt is made from thick hide, with scales of dark green linked together.
Thanks to Linnix I forgot these From Aelistae and Linnix's excursion: 2 potions Cure light wounds 1 potion neutralize poison and 1 potion of darkvision.
Linnix's Glowing sword
Two yellow tipped and rune etched crossbow bolts.
(I apologize if it seems rushed at all, but I wanted to give everyone the chance for some downtime, talking, identifying, or interaction. I’ll split the currency as stated, and let the next couple days be yours to do with as you wish post wise. Enjoy)

Topic: Forgotten Realms: the Unsung Heroes Q/A
Subject: The intersection
As there was roomfor you all to walk two abreast of each other, the intersection is effectively four 5'x 5' squares. AS for the mechanics of Artanis' 12' long double ladder bridge. Setting it on an angle (possibly with some adjustment to extend it to two feet extending on each side,) The ladder bridge 'will' cross the gap.
So it is definately a possibility to use in crossing.

Subject: without further adieu...
shall I update your trying to use the ladder to cross the gap diagonally from the right passage to the entrance one? and head out? I presume you'll be searching the chest on the way out? Or are you heading out first then checking the chest should the entrance be secure..
Or further still and a likely scenario... people move on out, with Linnix stopping to investigate/open the chest

Subject: Works for me..
I'm happy with getting the ball rolling...
On a side note, I've the beginnings of a new character (though I'l not be trying to get Emmy killed. I was thinking of creating his estranged son, a half elf perhaps, who fell away from grace (at least in the priethood sense) in anger for his Father when his mother (possibly elvish) dies of illness while Emmerus was away at war. (SHould Emmy die, the news might just reach his ears and bring him back around for some interesting roleplay opportunities.

Subject: a makeshift bridge..
It takes about 15 minutes and alot of rope tieing, but soon after you have two ladders tied together with overextended ends, tightly bound by some 50' of rope.

Topic: The Chakran Portal - Q/A
Subject: Moonblade as per the spell
As I stated , Thondrek used the talisman. The Moonblade does 1d8+1 / two caster levels damage, (not including strength because it is a immaterial blade of force)
I'll quote the Moonblade spell for ease for you.
Moon Blade
Eocation
Components V, S, M, DF
Casting Time: 1 Action
RAnge 0 ft
Duration 1 minute / level (D)
Saving THrow none
Spell Reistance Yes
A 3 foot-ong blazing beam of moonlight rings forth from your hand. Anyone who can cast a moon blade can wield the beam with proficiency. However, if you are are proficient with any type of swrd, yu can wield the beam as if it were any type of sword and thus gain the benefits of of any special sword skill you might have such as weapon focus.
Attacks made with the moon blade are melee touch attacks. Its strike saps vitality or life force, causing no visibe wounds but dealing 1d8 points of damamge plu 1 point per two caster levels (to a maximum of +15) to any type of creature except undead. Undead are visibily wounded by a moon blade. Their substance boils away from its touch, and they take 2d8 points of damage plus 1 point per caster level (to a maximum of +30) per blow. The blade is immaterial and your Strength Modifier does not aply to the damage.
A successful moon blade strike temporarily scrambles magic. On the target's next turn after a hit from a moon blade, the creature must make a concentration check to use any spell or spell like ability.The DC is 10 + points of damage dealt + spell level. (an opponent hit by a moon blade while casting a pell must make the usual Concentration check to avoid ruining the pell in addition to the check on his next turn)
The Moon blade spell has no connection with the magic items known as moonblades borne and made by some elves.

Subject: Monday.
Id like to update monday with a moving on post, so if there's nothing vital to be said or done in here, I suggest over the weekend posts reflect attempts at leaving the complex.. Basically you have a 10foot square hole to get across.. or a 30 foot. wall to climb down then up to reach the exit tunnel.
That being said, I'm not gonna be around the Inn this weekend much hopefully. Taking some time away from the computer for once.. (I know it's a shock to me too) Anyways those that know how to contact me can, and I'l pop on to answer quick queries if time allows.
Enjoy.
Me.

Subject: Leaving..
it should be noted that you'll first have to find out 'how' you are going to leave, before notions of grandeur and items fog your judgement. Just because there are no monsters beating down the door this instant does not mean you're all off on a cakewalk. Fair warning.
I will however say this. Since entering the complex I have given everything you need to exit in one form or another, it's simply up to you all to determine how you'd like to use what's available to make your escape.

Subject: The Booty.
I’ll assume that everyone amidst possibly trying to heal or what not is going to search the woman, the room, the pit’s the throne yadda yadda yadda. So with some secretive rolling, I present you with the following.
The cloaked woman is carrying the following.
A bone wand
A Black and green cloak
Bracers
A dagger
A MW hand crossbow with 4 bolts
4 potions, one a foggy grey, two blue ones of different hues, and a white one.
2 scrolls
Money pouch with 147 GP, 55 silver.
The Ogre carries..
Hide armor
A Large Greataxe
A silver and gold ring on one of his tusks
A money pouch containing
2 bloodstones, and 40 gp
The pits all drop a good fifty feet before ending in small rooms, filled with disgusting liquid. Sometimes those with dark vision think they see the water--if it can be called that-- rippling of it’s own accord.
Behind two of the Tabbards, are 10’ ladders, and a hidden alcove contains two lanterns, a 50’ coil of hemp rope, and 2 oil flasks.
The Throne is massive and heavy, easily weighing over 500 lbs. the cherry wood and gold inlay houses velvet cushions and backing. After a thorough search, a hidden lever drops a panel in the side of the throne, revealing an iron strongbox. With an examining from Linnix, and a heafty kick from Xaris, who was fatigued from the efforts of the day, the lid pops open its contents displayed.
500 gp, 200 sp, 100cp
1 emerald, 2 garnets
1 Bejeweled dagger with a serpent crawling around the hilt and into the cross guard
A belt, containing the crescent moon and bloody eye symbol on the buckle. The belt is made from thick hide, with scales of dark green linked together.
There, that’s the bounty. Now it’s up to you to decide what to take, and more importantly.. How to get out of here.
(If you basically make a collective effort to just 'take it all' I'll leave it till you get outside, and not worry about who's carrying what.)

Subject: Finally... some peace of body if not of mind.
Betrayal. It hit the companions like the Tarrasque had just walked over them. They had fought hard, and bled much in the attempt to rescue a once sought mother and child, only to be deceived and endangered further by yet another cloak and dagger assailant. The woman, a mage of some standing or another cackled gleefully as Xaris’ few remaining hairs smoked from the top of his head, The enraged gnome looked almost comical with the steam rising about his ears.
Worried for the welfare of her companions, Loriel let fly two arrows in all haste at the wand wielding witch. The arrows hummed as they cut through the air still abuzz with residual electricity. The first arrow sailed directly towards the enemy woman, but at the last moment, a shimmering shield of light redirected the projectile aside. The second however, would not be deterred by some mere spell. It punctured the barrier of light, and struck the sorceress in the shoulder causing her to grunt and curse in Elvish at the ranger. (Critical Hit / spell protection -2hp)
At the same time, a cold faced Linnix had also loosed her quarrel, the tiny bolt finding it’s mark but being deflected by the woman’s protective spell. Cursing, seething, Linnix dropped her crossbow and drew her daggers, ready to spill enemy blood.
Xaris, infuriated at being roasted for the second time in the same day, threw his weapon down and charged the caster with all haste. The wee little warrior could move quite quickly for one of his size, the running in the wild had tempered his speed to a faster pace, and he barreled into the woman, but for all his anger and speed, he could not get a grip on the slippery mage. His hands seemed to slide off an invisible barrier, leaving him dangerously close to the woman’s bone wand, and evil chagrinned smile.
Aelistae, the usually calm and collected Cleric of Ellistrae felt something click deep inside. Something that pushed all the feelings of compassion and mercy aside, and let all the cunning hatred and revelry of pain astringent of her Drow heritage come to the surface. Her Courtblade gleaming in the light of the room, Aelistae charged forth, her cheeks lined with the remnants of a salty tear which had caressed her gentle ebony skin. As she engaged the woman, her blade came up and slashed the woman a grievous wound along her side, causing the woman to shriek in pain.
The woman, now showing signs of fear upon her beautifully pale face, her blue eyes shimmering with anxiety pointed her wand at Aelistae, and muttered the words of a spell. “ Rath ulu l'bryklyth uoi'notan d'Lolth xuil dos!” As the was about to finish the last syllable of her command word, an arrow whizzed over Xaris’ shoulder, so close that he could feel the air part by his ear, and pierced the hand of the sorceress, causing her to drop the wand as she howled and clutched her hand, an arrow neatly lodged through her split and bleeding appendage. Across the room, Artanis could only smile with satisfaction. (Critical Hit- called shot / spell protection -14)
(** Back to the Tangled Hells of Lloth with you! **)
The woman, could do little more than curse expletives in a jumbled variety of languages, apparently she was not accustomed to such pain.
Kasenarrion, fueled by the fires of Tyr charged forth, her spear glowering at the prospect of feeding once more. With a call to Tyr, She thrust her spear in between her companions, the tip flaring as it penetrated the woman’s magical defenses, and skewered her heart. The woman’s eyes went wide in shock, as did Kasenarrion's, as the spear drained her happily. (Another Critical Hit! -28 hp, -8hp Kas 1/3hp!) Kas could barely stand as the woman slumped over, the Warrior of Tyr letting go of the spear haft and staggering, struggling to stay upright.
At last, the battle was over, the room quiet, and the threat of imminent danger over… for now.
(Congrats at surviving the first major challenge of the game.! Search results and treasure results to come soon!)
