    "Great God Om, I am your humble servant! Please grace your healing power on this poor soul", cries Brutha as he lays his hands on Webby and casts the Cure Light Wounds spell.

    Om answers and Brutha can feel the power seep from his hands as he says the words and onto Webby. His wound on his knee closes up, and he feels great.

    OOC: Webby, 2HP restored.

    Lalwende steps forward until her face is three inched for Aesc's. She stares deeply into his eyes. "Okay, Aesc. By the sounds of things, the others have a battle on their hands. I think we should leave them at it. All of this exploring and battling has got me quite flustered. I'm happy to find a quiet corner somewhere where we can pass an hour or two pleasantly. Or maybe you aren't man enough and would like to do something else?"

    Aesc pinches his nose.
    "Phew! Your breath still smells of sick. As this passage inexplicably just ends I'm heading back to the others. First stop, the mask and fountain room."

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    Webby embraces Brutha "Thank you! I feel so much better".

    Webby steps through the doorway into the corridor and checks left and right to see which other party members have remained behind.

    Webby embraces Brutha "Thank you! I feel so much better".

    Webby steps through the doorway into the corridor and checks left and right to see which other party members have remained behind.

    Webby can see that 9Lives, Stu Pendous and Fector remain in the corridor. Brutha and Stufur are behind him in the room with Sandor, who is still sulking in the corner, unaware of the lit torch Echtrae holds near to him.

    "Sandor..."

    Webby pauses.

    "The more of it there is, the less you will see.."

    "I hope you understand.."




    "The forest awaits..."


    Webby gestures to his fellowship, "We need to move on from this place..." he says as he proceeds walking out of the room.

    Echtrae is consumed by the jewels embedded in Sandor's sword, his eye's shining with greed.

    He noticed Sandor's dismay at webby's torch missing and figured he must be wearing something combustible.

    He looked a Webby and Sufur as they left, trusting them now less than ever. "Maybe if I rid the world of this undead creature, it will release my companions from what spell they are surely under" he thinks.


    He creeps up on Sandor and presses the torch into his back, holding it until his clothing to ignites.

    OOC: Int Check for runes.

    The mask looks like it comes off the wall easily enough. Meera gets a sense of power from the mask.

    OOC: Clarification, it's one mask, not multiple, apologies for confusion

    [OOC: rolled a 10 for the runes]

    Meera gently touches a finger to the mask.

    Meera can make out that they are scrawled in Goblin, an incredibly crude form of writing.

    The runes read:

    "Upon the fifth day of the Year of Mirrors, in the Desert of Mist, the Black Castle shall be destroyed"


    Upon touching a finger to the masks, Meera gets another sensation of power from it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,798 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    'OOh! Tingly!' [OOC: can I figure out what sort of sensation?]

    Meera checks the back of the mask for traps or triggers and if she finds none she lifts it off the wall.

    [OOC: I bet this is gonna end well! :)]

    OOC: Getting to this shortly. Now would be a good time to declare a spell though :D

    Lalwende decides to make her way to the scythe. She approaches the scythe cautiously.

    Meera takes the mask into her hands, and is hit with a wave of power emanating from the mask.

    She is compelled to put it on, the power is urging her to do so.

    She attempts to fight it with her own will, but the power is too strong.

    She puts the mask on.

    It wheels her around in a circle from another power burst, to face the runes.....

    Which start to glow red.


    The North Wall slides apart, and from within, two Orcs and a Kobold rush from a small room hidden there.

    They charge towards Meera.....

    OOC: Stopping there for tonight. Next action is yours. Guffy, will get to you tomorrow as well, things a bit hectic at work. Sorry folks :(

    ok here's how this works. I roll to see if your sneak action was successful. You don't see this roll, because a character always thinks they're sneaking successfully.

    Echtrae did not sneak successfully.

    Then I roll to see if Sandor noticed you. Again, you don't see this roll because you don't know if he heard you till he reacts.

    He heard you

    You can still try to burn him but that's standard combat - roll for init in the Rolz room, then take it in turns.


    As Echtrae creeps up behind him, Sandor leaps to his feet and spins.
    "What treachery is this?"
    His eyes dart nervously to the torch but then fix on Echtrae's face. He points and bellows "INFAMY!"
    He tries to duck and roll to retrieve his sword but the flames keep him at bay.

    Ooc : those of you in Sandors crypt, roll for init!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,341 ✭✭✭Guffy


    "You fear the flame Sandor, why so?" Quiries Echt as he he sheppards Sandor back to his coffin manoeuvring the torch the keep him on the path.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,341 ✭✭✭Guffy


    "I just want the gems, Sandor, and you your eternal rest. Back to your coffin, i shall close it up and you need not fear the flame no more"

    Echtrae continues to edge toward Sandor, " I hope this works" he thinks to himself.

    "I will even return the sword once the gems have been removed" he adds in hope more than anything else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,392 ✭✭✭✭Professor Moriarty


    Lalwende examines the scythe carefully wondering if she should try to take it.

    Ooc: I thought this game was pausing for the weekend?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,558 ✭✭✭✭Fourier


    Stufur eyes Echtrae in rage.

    "Stay away from him you degenerate cur!"

    He runs at Echtrae, fangs bared and sword swinging.

    Aesc hears the commotion in the mask room as he returns along the passage. He nocks an arrow and takes a look inside the room from the doorway.

    OOC:
    Characters can still move around, to a degree, and interact with each other to the point where a roll has to be made by the DM.
    For example, I can talk to you in character if we are close enough but if I try to stab you a roll is required and neither of us can do anything else till the DM tells us the outcome.

    OOC: I know I helped heal Webby, but I'm hoping that was outside the crypt? Let me know if I'm involved in this fight, thanks...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,366 ✭✭✭conor222


    Actually ,when we get going again a quick overall recap of whats going on might be handy :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 673 ✭✭✭The Dungeon Master


    Recap :

    The king is dead! But worry not, dear reader, for the culprits have been caught and cast into a dungeon from whence no one has ever returned. The gods shall judge them, and the rats will eat what's left.


    Where are you all?

    Sandor's Tomb :

    Sandor, King of the Black Gate Forest has risen again. Having bitten and seemingly raised Stufur from the dead, he's now being bullied by a magic user.
    Echtrae (Guffy) is that bully, waving a lit torch in the face of the enraged risen king.
    Stufur Evergreen (Fourier) having recently had his insides made into outsides by a scythe trap seems to be doing a lot better, but was recently seen eating Webby's leg and is currently moving to attack Echtrae with fang and blade alike in response to his bullying antics.
    Stu Pendous (Kolido) is also there, brandishing a dagger but hearing Stufur out.


    In the corridor outside Sandor's tomb
    Webby Frothfist (Nebelwerfer) - having recently been chewed like a toffee in Sandor's tomb, he's made his way outside the door just in time to miss all the crap kicking off to grab a quick heal from Brutha
    Brutha (JasonB) - having just healed Webby, he's positioned right outside the door.
    9 Lives Pete (Conor222) - standing outside the door of the tomb. It's a big door.
    Fector Hammerchop (Duffman13) - Also outside the door. Was standing behind Meera but thanks to the miracle of asynchronous play by mail she's in the next paragraph.

    The Mask Room
    Meera Trakos (Mollyb60) - Wearing a fearsome mask and watching a couple of orcs and a kobold prostrate themselves in front of her.
    Aesc the Thief (Old Goat) - having heard a commotion in the room behind him, runs in from the southern door to see the masked figure and their attendants.

    The Scythe Trap
    Lalwende the Elf (Professor Moriarty) - off on her own investigating the site of Stufur's recent near-bisection.

    Where are these rooms relative to eachother? Well that's up to you to map. Molly had a decent start if you want to scroll back, but I encourage you all to keep track yourselves, if only because there's only so many times you can say "I head south" when you're standing in an east-west corridor before I let you head south and bump your head on a wall for 1HP damage. There are many ways to die in this dungeon, and that is the 3rd most humiliating one. (Good luck to the first one who finds the Wand of Dysentery trap)

    Before anyone posts again, can everyone please check in in the FG thread so we know who's on pause and who'll bleed for the cause before we resume?

    9 lives notches an arrow ready to fire from behind the larger members of the door club. He waits to see what happens inside before choosing who to fire at

    "Time is fleeting, madness takes its toll..." Webby explains to his party.

    Pointing towards Stufur he says "He shook-a me up, took me by surprise!"

    Webby takes a jump to the left, then a step to the right with his hands on his hips and his knees held in tight; pelvicly thrusting until he is out of sight.
