PLAYER'S BACKGROUND The Village of Hommlett—or merely "Hommlett," as it is commonly called—is situated in the central part of the Flanaess, that portion of western Oerik Continent which is known and 'civilized.' The hamlet-sized village (local parlance having distinguished it with the greater term) is located some 30 leagues southeast of the town of Verbobonc, or thereabouts, on the fringe of the territory controlled by the noble Lord the Viscount of Verbobonc. It is at a crossroads. To the north is the mighty Velverdyva River, along whose south bank runs the Lowroad. Many days' travel to the east, on the shores of the Lake of Unknown Depths (Nyr Dyv), is the great walled city of Dyvers. The village of Sobanwych lies about halfway along the route. Below that to the southeast and east are miles and miles of forest (the Gnarley), beyond which is the Wild Coast, Woolly Bay, and the Sea of Gearnat. The road south forks a league or so beyond the little community, one branch meandering off towards the Wild Coast, the other rolling through the lower Kron Hills to the village of Ostverk and then eventually turning southwards again into the elven kingdom of Celene. The western route leads into the very heart of the gnomish highlands, passing through Greenway Valley about a day's travel distant and going onwards to the Lortmil Mountains far beyond. Hommlet grew from a farm or two, a rest house, and a smithy. The roads brought a sufficient number of travelers and merchant wagons to attract tradesmen and artisans to serve those passing through. The resthouse became a thriving inn, and a wheel and wainwright settled in the thorp. More farmers and herdsmen followed, for grain was needed for the passing animals, and meat was in demand for the innfolk. Prosperity was great, for the lord of the district was mild and taxed but little. Trade was good, and the land was untroubled by war, outlaws, or ravaging beasts. The area was free, beautiful, and bountiful — too much so, in the eyes of some. Whether the evil came west from Dyvers (as is claimed by one faction) or crept up out of the forestlands bordering the Wild Coast (as others assert), come it did. At first it was only a few thieves and an odd group of bandits molesting the merchant caravans. Then came small bands of humanoids—kobolds or goblins—raiding the flocks and herds. Local militia and foresters of the Waldgraf of Ostverk apparently checked, but did not stop, the spread of outlawry and evil. A collection of hovels and their slovenly inhabitants formed the nucleus for the troubles which were to increase. A wicked cleric established a small chapel at this point. The folk of Hommlet tended to ignore this place, Nulb, even though it was but 6 miles distant. But its out-of-the-way position was ideal for the fell purposes planned for this settlement, as was its position on a small river flowing into the Velverdyva. The thickets and marshes around Nulb became the lair and hiding place for bandits, brigands, and all sorts of evil men and monsters alike. The chapel grew into a stone temple as its faithful brought in their illgotten tithes. Good folk were robbed, pillaged, enslaved, and worse. In but three years, a grim and forbidding fortress surrounded the evil place, and swarms of creatures worshipped and worked their wickedness therein. The servants of the Temple of Elemental Evil made Hommlet and the lands for leagues around a mockery of freedom and beauty. Commerce ceased, crops withered; pestilence was abroad. But the leaders of this cancer were full of hubris and, in their overweaning pride, sought to overthrow the good realms to the north, who were coming to the rescue of the land being crushed under the tyranny wrought by the evil temple. A great battle was fought. When the good people of Hommlet saw streams of ochre-robed men and humanoids fleeing south and west through their community, there was great rejoicing, for they knew that the murderous oppressors had been defeated and driven from the field in panic and rout. So great was the slaughter, so complete the victory of good, that the walled stronghold of the Temple of Elemental Evil fell within a fortnight, despite the aid of a terrible demon. The place was ruined and sealed against a further return of such abominations by powerful blessings and magic. Life in Hommlet quickly returned to a semblance of its former self, before the rise of the temple. For five years afterward, the village and the surrounding countryside have become richer and more prosperous than ever before. A monstrous troll which plagued the place for a time was hunted down by a party of passing adventurers. Carrying the ashes and a goodly fortune as well, the adventurers returned to the village. Before going elsewhere to seek their fortunes, the adventurers also returned a portion of the villagers' losses. Other adventurers, knowing of the evil that had once resided in the area, came to seek out similar caches, and several did find remote lairs and wealth—just as some never returned at all. After a time, adventurers stopped coming to the area. It seemed that no monsters were left to slay, and no evil existed here to be stamped out. The villagers heaved a collective sigh—some pained at the loss of income, but others relieved by the return to the quiet, normal life—and Hommlet continued its quiet existence for four years more. But then, a year ago, the bandits began to ride the roads again—not frequently, but to some effect. To the good folk of Hommlet, this seemed all too familiar, so they sent word to the Viscount that wicked forces might still lurk thereabouts. This information has been spread throughout the countryside, and the news has attracted outsiders to the village once again. Who and what these men are, no one can be quite sure. All claim to be bent on slaying monsters and bringing peace and security to Hommlet; but deeds speak more loudly than words, and lies cloak

the true purposes of the malevolent. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Aug 11, 2008, 2:10pm Having heard word of a villiage in need of help and a temple to search within and possibly evil to be vanishqued (sp?), A humanoid with a strange thing going around his head wearing chainmail with a sword on his hip and shield in hand is eager to test his skills that he has learned and studied but not yet mastered. He set out to go to Hommlet. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Aug 11, 2008, 4:17pm Auggie receives word that some place called Hommlet is looking for help with Bandits. This 5' Chocolate colored, Humanoid, with small horny growths, where other creatures have hair, sets out on a mission, hopefully, a profitable one, but, it will make some people, at least, have good friendly thoughts about him, rather then being scared, and making odd signs in the air, as he passes by them. Word from the streets is the place has a history of bandits, and an Evil Temple in the area. but, thats all in the past. Its all been cleaned out by now they say. These Bandits must be looking to make a name for themselves, in an area that has had Bandits before. Auggie wraps a cloak over himself, "Witchknife" they call him, Auggie doesn't mind, as long as they treat him with respect, and, at least, be civil to him. Auggie will just get what he needs, sometimes, pay a little extra, that helps the Folk be nicer to him. I'll help get rid of these Bandits, then, people will see that I'm not going to Hex them, or steal their ugly babies. Auggie heads Southwest, towards this troubled village called Hommlett Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Aug 11, 2008, 5:51pm Thomas and his group had continued to track the bandit leader through out the underground maze. The ranger, Thorne, had lost and picked up the trail several times, but the bandit was very crafty. He needed to be caught or he would just move further into the Kron Hills and attempt to begin again. If he made it to Greyhawk there would be plenty that would flock to his banner and once again the roads would become unsafe. They had been as careful as possible to see that he had no chance to double back, but none of the Pelorites were familiar with all the passages. Not for the first time Thomas cursed himself for not memorizing the spell to detect secret passages. Katrina was good, but as a beguiler rather than a rogue her ability to find secret doors was limited. The passage opened up into a large chamber. The floor here was crafted stone, as were the walls. Standing in the middle of the room was something quite unusual. It appeared to be some type of humanoid construct, although it was nothing Thomas was familiar with. Dungard, their dwarven fighter believed it might be partially constructed of adamantine. If so, it would be very valuable. It clutched a bastard sword in one hand and a heavy steel shield in the other. Around it's neck was a simple leather necklace with a stone attached. The stone shone with a light about as bright as a torch and it cast an eerie glow through out the room. Thomas hesitated to go in any farther less the guardian animate and attack. He had little choice since if the bandit had found a way to escape it would have been through this room. He turned to the group. "It appears we have no choice but to go this way. If there is a way out it has to be through here. I will go first, but everyone be prepared." Thomas had always been a bit headstrong for a wizard. Thomas started into the room and began to move around. The rest followed, but the construct remained unmoving. Thomas could see Thorne keeping an eye on the construct while Katrina checked the walls. She finally turned to Thomas. "If there is a secret door or passage here, I can't find it. I don't know what to suggest." She moved back towards the entrance." It was then Brother Wren, the Pelorite cleric that had brought them on this mission, made a suggestion. "It's a long shot, but I know you prepared the ability to detect thoughts to aid us in questioning the bandit leader when we captured him. Can you use that now to see if you can detect him? If he is hidden here, it might help." Thomas recognized this to be the futile effort it was, but he appeared to have no other choice. It took him several seconds to prepare and cast the spell. What he found so surprised him that he forgot all about the missing bandit leader. To his amazement he realized that there was some type of consciousness trapped in the construct. The mind appeared to be in a state of flux and reading it's surface thoughts was impossible, but when he informed Brother Wren of the situation, the priest became excited, but had Thomas search the room any way. With their quarry lost Brother Wren suggested that they try to move the construct. It was heavy and a bit bulky, but the group managed to drag it out of the maze and back to the surface. They loaded it in their cart and proceeded to take it back to the Abbey. It appeared to be quite a find. After several weeks of study and several auguries it was discovered that the creature responded to healing magic. Once it was given a touch of healing it awakened. It responded to questioning, but had little information. Apparently it was know as a Warforge. It had been created in a forge, by an unknown group to fight for House Cannith. The name was unfamiliar to everyone. It had been trained in the use of the bastard sword and shield, but before it could be sent out to fight in had become inert. How this had happened was unknown to it. The Pelorites were at a lost as to what to do. The construct was given a name, Fish Hook, after a symbol it had carved into it's chest and the Abbey set about teaching it about the world around it. Once they were satisfied that Fish Hook could function on it's own a great discussion began. Everyone had their own opinion on what should be done. It was then that Pelor smiled on them. A traveling cleric stopped at the Abbey for the night. He had been dispatched to check on reports of increases in banditry near the village of Hommlet, well south of the Abbey. Fish Hook was dispatched, wearing a tabard with the symbol of Pelor on it, to travel with the cleric to aid in his investigation.

don't forget lol. ) On the Way to Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Aug 12, 2008, 6:32pm After leaving Sisl Neehard’s employ in Gradsul, Khesfrin Rhola signs on as a caravan guard for merchant Acanith Br’tola. The caravan follows the Sheldomar River north to Jarne in the County of Ulek. Khesfrin spends some time in the area before heading east into Celene to visit an old friend, Ceralliaeth Moondancer. Khesfrin and Ceralliaeth travel the woods of Celene for some months before they arrive in Enstad. Growing restless, Khesfrin signs on a a bodyguard to Stornova Kurachvna and accompanies him through the Kron Hills and into Devarnish. By sheer happenstance Khesfrin once again crosses paths with Minra Aloz, a childhood friend. As Minra in on his way to Verbobonc for employment, Khesfrin decides to tag along. The two head east to the Velverdyva River and follow it down to Verbobonc. While in Verbobonc the two hear many a tale in the taverns. One in particular catches Khesfrin’s ear. The locals talk of trouble near Hommlet. The poor villagers have sent word to the Viscount for aid – they are beset upon by bandits. “Come old friend, let’s venture down to this village and lend a hand. What say you?” “I’m sorry Khesfrin, but I’ve committed to a term of employment here. You go; and if needs be send word for me and I’ll save your tail again!” “My tail? I saved YOUR tail; have you forgotten?” The jovial banter continues into the night. Morning’s light sees the two friends part company, as Khesfrin travels the road south to Hommlet. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Aug 13, 2008, 3:01pm Xavion had finally studied and spent his time happily in the Temple of Pelor in his hometown. He never imagined that the head of his order would call him and tell him that he's been chosen... chosen to go and spread the word of Pelor. To go and help those that could not help themselves. He was left dumbfounded but there were tears in his eyes for he could feel the radiance of Pelor fill him as a way of showing that he truly had been accepted. Hie heart was both heavy and light as he left to make his preparations. It seemed all too quickly that it was time to go and he was saying goodbye to his friends and family. He was sad to leave but happy to be put to use by his god. It wasn't long before he stopped at a local temple during his travels and acquired the strangest travelling companion. They called him Fish Hook but he looked like anything but something you'd use for fishing. In any case, he would not turn down a blessing from Pelor. So he has heard of the troubles in Hommlet, therefore he and his companion now travel there to see what can be done to assist them in this time of need. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Aug 18, 2008, 11:49am After standing over his foes blood gleaming off of his battle axes Thellios pulls out this paper with news of the trouble in Hommlet. "Hmmmm........ it sounds like more fun to be my lord for I kill only for you.......HAHAHAHAHA............." Thellios cleans his blades sets them on his back nex to his great axe and starts heading North for Hommlet. Drinking his ale and singing merrily on his way...... Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Aug 18, 2008, 10:55pm The party was now approaching the Village of Hommlet, having ridden up from lands of the Wild Coast. They were poorly mounted, badly equipped, and had no large sums of cash. In fact, all they had was what they wore and what they rode, plus the few coins that were hidden in purses and pockets. What they did possess in quantity, though, was daring and desire to become wealthy and famous. Thus the group came to Hommlet to learn. Was this indeed a place for adventurers to seek their fortunes? They all hoped, of course, to gain riches and make names for themselves. The outcome of this was uncertain, but their skill and daring, along with a good measure of luck, would be the main ingredients of what followed, be it for weal or woe. The small community at the crossroads was a completely unknown quantity. What is there? Who will be encountered? Where should they go? These were their first explorations and encounters, so chance may dictate as much as intelligence. Will outsiders be shunned? Are the reports true — was the whole community engaged in evil practices? Were the folk here bumpkins, easily duped? Did a curse lay upon those who dare to venture into the lands which were once the Temple's? All of these questions would soon be answered. The dusty, rutted road was lined with closely-grown hedges of brambles and shrubs. Here and there it cut through a copse or crossed a rivulet. To either hand, forest and meadow had given way to field and orchard. A small herd of kine grazed nearby, and a distant hill was dotted with the wand stone chimneys with thin plumes of blue smoke rising from them. A road angled west into the hill country, and to either side of the road ahead were barns and buildings — Hommlet at last! The adventure began... As they rode into town they noticed the sun was beginning to sink into the horizon and estimated that they had only about an hour of daylight left. Please see Village of Hommlit map in the maps and pics section.

Khesfrin travels from Verbobonc down the road to Hommlet and as dusk approaches and he begins to think of finding a good place to camp he spots some other travellers already setting up a camp. Approaching in a casual gait Khesfrin walks up to the camp, "Hail and well met fellows. Might i join your camp for the night?" After haveing been invited to stay, Khesfrin introduces himself to the others; an obviously human cleric of Pelor and what appears to be his golem, as well as two humanoids. "My name is Khesfrin Rhola. I'm on my way to Hommlet, as i hear they are in need of help. The area is being terrorized by bandits, as i hear tell. Shall we set a watch for the night?"

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Aug 19, 2008, 1:29pm (OOC) Are we in town or outside somewhere in camp? Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Aug 19, 2008, 8:22pm I believe we are in Homlett. DM's post says we see buildings. Auggie will draw his cloak about him, and enter the Inn Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Aug 19, 2008, 11:16pm upon entering the inn Thellios goes to the bar ordering a pint of ale and a meal, and then heads to a corner of the tavern siwhere the light is dim......waiting for his meal................. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Aug 20, 2008, 1:34am (OOC) To demilitch: Thanks. (IC) The armored humanoid known now as Hautra enters the inn also. He goes to the bar and waits for the barkeep. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Aug 20, 2008, 3:20am Xavion watched as the rest of his companions headed to the Inn. He frowned slightly as he looked from Fishhook to the inn and back again. This didn't look like this was going to be an easy situation but well.. there was only one way to find out. He thumped Fishhook on the shoulder and nodded his head to the Inn, "Come on, Fishhook. Let's check out the inn. And whatever you do, BE CAREFUL. Please try not to destroy any more of the furniture than absolutely necessary? Ok?" He looked to the remaining members and smiled, "I will be glad to get off of this road and sleep under a roof for at least one night." He laughed and headed into the inn to find a comfortable spot for him, Fishhook and any of the others who wished to join them. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Aug 20, 2008, 11:16am [Khesfrin Rhola] Khesfrin takes note of the Church on their way into town, as ell as the Trader and Moneychanger. Following the road they come to an Inn. He follows Thellios, Auggie and Hautra inside, where he inquires about the price of a room and a meal.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by syanna on Aug 20, 2008, 4:40pm Having arrived in the town of Hommlet, Syanna takes her time walking around, taking in all the activity as people go about their daily lives. She smiles as small children run about, mostly underfoot. Spotting the leather workers shop, Syanna makes note of its location and continues on until she reaches the inn. Once inside, her tummy growls at the smell of food and she quickly spots the strange one called Fishhook and his fellow companion. Taking a seat at the same table, Syanna calls the serving girl. "I have had my fill of cold rations for sure!" Ordering some meat and cheese, she pays the serving girl and waits impatiently to be served. "I have heard of some troubles in this area, any word on exactly what's going on?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Aug 20, 2008, 7:12pm Auggie looks around, sits down at a table, when the serving girl comes by, Auggie looks at her, "Food, wine, pay for, I will" and sets his purse on the table.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Aug 21, 2008, 1:12am The square wooden sign showed a buxom and smiling girl holding a flagon of beer. This must be the Inn of the Welcome Wench, a place renowned for its good food and excellent drink! Passing merchants made a point of stopping, as did many other sorts of wayfarers, and it was said that the place was always filled with patrons. The common room was bright and cheerful. It contained several rough-hewn tables and chairs, boards, and benches. Natural tree trunk pillars supported the ceiling overhead, all dark with smoke and age. A motley group of sixteen people were here. Of particular interest were a man wearing scale mail with a shield on his back and saddlebags on the table in front of him (A), a rather slight man sitting at a corner table nursing his drink (B), and a pair of men sitting at a table in center of the room talking to each other. One of these, a huge man, wore splint mail and had a shield on his back also, the other wore normal traveling clothes. (C) The man behind the bar introduced himself as Ostler Gundigoot, the proprietor of the Welcome Wench, and quickly rattled off the inn's food prices. He then went on to indicate what rooms he had open and how much they rented for. Boiled eggs,cheeses, and hard biscuits or crackers were atop the trestle. Serving girls carried the food from the bar to the common room. (See Welcome Wench map and Welcome Wench room and board. Please remember to deduct and purchases from your character sheet) Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Aug 21, 2008, 1:53am The man behind the bar introduced himself as Ostler Gundigoot, the proprietor of the Welcome Wench, and quickly rattled off the inn's food prices. He then went on to indicate what rooms he had open and how much they rented for. Khesfrin Rhola "I'll take a tiny private room, a plain supper and a small beer. Thanks. Where do i sign in?" Depositing the coins on the counter Khesfrin will sit with his new companions.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Aug 21, 2008, 2:08pm Fish Hook was a bit uncertain about Xavion's comment about breaking furniture. Although it was heavier than a normal human most furniture supported its weight. Perhaps the cleric was making a joke. Fish Hook had little experience with such things. It was not like it had no emotions, it was just it saw little point in expressing them. As they made their way to the Inn it resisted the temptation to suggest that it might be better to find someone in charge to question about the situation, but perhaps Xavion was hungry. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Aug 21, 2008, 2:29pm Xavion could see that his joke was totally lost on Fish Hook but that wouldn't stop him from trying. He just went in and joined the others. Some seemed solitary but at least a couple seemed to be friendly enough. He sat with the ones names Khesfrin and Syanna before ordering himself an ale and plain dinner. He knew it might be a while before he got another decent or semi-decent meal. As he waited for the waitress to bring his order, he answered Syanna's question. "Considering the time of day, perhaps we should all get some rest and start bright and early tomorrow. Maybe we can use tonight to see how the people are feeling in general?" He looks to all with them waiting to see how they feel about that. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Aug 21, 2008, 8:18pm Fish Hook followed Xavion into the Inn. It had never been in such a place before, although the clerics of the temple had explained what it might find there. It moved to a place, out of the way, to watch the door. Once Xavion had found a place to sit Fish Hook moved to a position where it could observe what was going on, while watching for trouble. It's glowing green eyes scanned the room. It prepared to draw it's sword when a stranger sat at the table, but Xavion seemed unconcerned about the interuption. He even smiled at the newcomer when she sat down. Fish Hook realized for the first time that several of the people here were women. It had never actually seen a woman before. All the training in weaponry had been done by men. After it had reawakened, the clerics who had helped were men. Now that it was in the real world it would have to get use to women. It did not seemed to be a problem. It waited silently. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Aug 21, 2008, 11:18pm It had been about a half hour before the serving wenches brought the food to the motley little band but when they had it had been piping hot and smelt absolutely divine. The rumors about the Welcome Wench had been true. Now, what about the other rumors. Just as the travellers had been getting ready to dig into their food the smaller of the men from the table in the center of the room came over to the table at which Xavion, Khesfrin, and syanna had sat. He sat down with them and said, " The food's really good here, some of the best in the area I think. So what brings you three to this blighted little burb. Oh, by the way, the

name's Turuko." He then had smiled and extended a hand out. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Aug 22, 2008, 7:19am Again Fish Hook was amazed at the boldness, or rudeness of the human race. Here was a man who without even asking permission had sat down at the table and began to ask questions that were of no concern to him. Fish Hook understood enough to remain silent on the matter, but marked this man as one not to be trusted. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Aug 22, 2008, 12:29pm Auggie leaned a bit closer toward the table that the new person sat at, trying to listen to the conversation. But did not move over to the table, or say anything. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by syanna on Aug 22, 2008, 1:33pm Syanna smiled and extended a hand in greeting to Turuko. "Pleased to meet you. I have heard of some troubles in the area from several travelers I have happened upon, something about bandits possibly." Unable to resist the good smelling food, she has a few bites before continuing on. "I have hope that I could be of some help." Syanna glances quickly at Fishhook, still curious about that one. Turning to Xavion she smiles. "A nights rest sounds like a good plan to me." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Aug 22, 2008, 1:55pm Hautra finally gets his ale and puts down 1 GP for the ale and 1 SP for the dorm room. He leaves the bar and joins the table which Auggie is. He puts down 2 GP for his meal. He says to everyone at the table, "Well, lively place it is, aye?" and goes to eat his meal and wash it down with ale. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Aug 22, 2008, 3:23pm setting the 3gp for the meal he traces over to the others freshly sitting and enjoying their meal. "You all look new in town as for am I. I've heard of the evil surrounding this town and am here to offer aide to bring peace again. May I sit with your party for I have been traveling and am quite lonely. I've also been keeping my eyes on those men over there especially the armed ones and the one with the satchels, they seem out of place..." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Aug 22, 2008, 3:49pm Auggie looks over at the newcomers, "Help also, I will. Bandits here no good for anyone." stands up, goes over to the table that the others are sitting at, "Auggie, name, mine is. Help you fight Bandits I will." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Aug 22, 2008, 5:45pm Xavion: As he waited for the waitress to bring his order, he answered Syanna's question. "Considering the time of day, perhaps we should all get some rest and start bright and early tomorrow. Maybe we can use tonight to see how the people are feeling in general?" He looks to all with them waiting to see how they feel about that. Syanna smiled and extended a hand in greeting to Turuko. "Pleased to meet you.

Unable to resist the good smelling food, she has a few bites before continuing on. "I have hope that I could be of some help." Syanna glances quickly at Fishhook, still curious about that one. Turning to Xavion she smiles. "A nights rest sounds like a good plan to me." =========== Khesfrin Rhola: Before Khesfrin can answer Xavion, he turns to Turuko, "I'm Khesfrin Rhola. I've just come from Verbobonc. Seems like a nice little town here." Khesfrin grabs a few bites while his listens to Turuko and Sayanna; glancing every now anf then around the room.

He smiled and began to eat the food, thrilled that it tasted so good. He was quite pleased that they had chosen to stop at this inn for the night. Who knows when they'd have a chance to savor such a meal again. When Turuko sat down, he places his utensil down and wiped his mouth before smiling. He shook the offered hand as well and nodded to the man. "My name is Xavion. Pleasure to meet you." He continued to eat as Syanna spoke, only speaking when she

paused and after Khesfrin spoke, "Ahem... WE hope that WE can be of some help." He flashed a quick grin and continued to eat as he looked over at Fish Hook and was glad that so far, no one was making a big fuss about him. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Aug 22, 2008, 6:06pm If one such as Fish Hook could have been irked, in this case, it would have been. People seemed to crowd in all around Xavion. Some were those that had traveled with them along the road, others were strangers. Xavion did not seem to be the least bit upset by the attention. It then noticed the woman, who was currently at the table, glance over. Fish Hook was not surprised. It had been getting these looks even before it had stepped out of the monastery. The brothers had indicted that while there where constructs scattered through out the realms, few traveled and none seemed to have the same characteristics as Fish Hook. That was why they were well pleased to see Xavion arrive. Fish Hook was not certain if it was protecting Xavion, or the other way around. Not for the first time it clutched the tabbard that were it's only clothes. It felt comfortable with the feel and comforted by the symbol that proclaimed it a servant of Pelor. Fish Hook looked forward to making it's way in the world and perhaps some day finding a member of the Household it has been made to serve.

OOC: Is anyone watching/staring at us? Khesfrin will try to gauge the mood of the clientele. Khesfrin looked about the room attempting to judge the mood of the patrons. For the most part, however, they just seemed like locals having a good time after a long days work. The man with the saddle bags, even though he had gone through quite a bit of drink just since Khesfrin had arrived, seemed as if he was watching everything that went on at the inn. The small man siting by himself seemed to be worried and preparing for something. He would pull out a small book of some sort he had on him, flip through it a bit, then put it away. He would then pull out a small piece of paper he had, make a few notes then put it away. He would then turn his attention to his drink that he had been nursing ever since Khesfrin's arrival and repeat the whole routine again. Then there was the matter of this Turuko. He wasn't sure what it was about him, the fake smile, the overly friendly nature, or the beady eyes but something seemed dis-genuine about him. Turuko, after having shaken the hands presented to him had gone on to say, " Banditry, that there has been an increase in for sure. At least according to the locals. I suppose you all have heard of the Temple of Elemental evil and the war to put it down ? But did you know that the temple had at one time built an outpost, right here in Hommlet. Or at least not more than a half days ride away. The locals call it the Moat house. The army that destroyed the temple only took care of it as an after thought. If there are bandits operating around here I bet that is where they are hiding. Me and my friend Kobort would be glad to work as guides for you, for a modest fee of course." After Turuko had finished his spiel a wirey looking man in leather armour descended the stairs stretching his arms and yawning on the way down as if he had just woken up. He looked over the crowd and then made his way over to Fish Hook. He looked him up and down and then said, " Never seen nothin' like you before. Hope you don't mind the forwardness but you look a little lonely. Don't suppose you play dice?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Aug 23, 2008, 2:04pm Hautra wonders about that guy as well. He finishes his meal and ale. He tells everyone to be careful and he is turning in early for the night. He gathers his gear and goes to his room. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Aug 24, 2008, 12:14am Turuko, after having shaken the hands presented to him had gone on to say, " Banditry, that there has been an increase in for sure.

Post by demilich on Aug 24, 2008, 9:57pm Auggie flashes a brief smile after hearing that the "Guide" offer was turned down. then moves to stand by Turuko. "Moat house, show us general direction, you can. Find it we will, fun way, that is. Life risk ours, not yours. Home stay, you should" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Aug 24, 2008, 10:31pm After having his offer rejected Turuko looked a bit saddened but went on to say," you really can't miss it, just take the road that leads east out of town. If you should change your minds however I'm staying here at the Welcome Wench." He then went back to his table and ordered another drink. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Aug 25, 2008, 1:59am Xavion shrugged and finished eating his meal as the offer of a guide was turned down. He looked at Khesfrin, "Would a guide have been so bad? It'd help a lot if we had someone who knows the lay of the land." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Aug 25, 2008, 10:55am Khesfrin Rhola: "Well, i think first we need to get the lay of the town. Besides, we don't know who he is. If he's a local guide, why is he staying here, at the Inn? Wouldn't he have his own place in town? We should visit the Temple and other places tomorrow before rushing off to this moathouse we know nothing about." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by syanna on Aug 25, 2008, 1:18pm Finishing up her meal, Syanna nods in agreement with Khesfrin. "I have to say those are very good questions. This area is still new to me so I leave it to you all to decide if we need a guide or not. The more we know the better off we will be I would think." She looks around to see what everyone thinks. In any case I must check on my companion before turning in for the night. "I will be up at dawn and need to make some purchases myself. Shall we be meeting here tomorrow?." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Aug 25, 2008, 2:43pm Xavion looked to Khesfrin, "You are right about us getting the lay of the town.. but, I'd say this place is a good spot for a guide to hang around... spot the non-locals ahead of the competition and try to get some business." He shrugs, "But I have not spent too much time adventuring, so I will go with your judgment in this case. Who knows what tomorrow will bring." He smiled at Khes and Syanna, "Checking on companions is a good idea..." He shot a quick glance over at Fish Hook and saw the man speaking to him, "Not sure how Fish Hook is handling being in the inn... but doesn't look like anyone is causing any problems..." He stretched, "I also have evening prayers to attend to before I retire." He went to stand but stopped, "Oh, I think that meeting here tomorrow is a good idea. Maybe after we have all had a chance to go about time and see what info we can get?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Aug 25, 2008, 2:59pm thellios looks at the party "hmmm that sounds like good idea, meet here tomarrow and go kill bandits, sounds like fun."

He looked over the crowd and then made his way over to Fish Hook. He looked him up and down and then said, " Never seen nothin' like you before. Hope you don't mind the forwardness but you look a little lonely. Don't suppose you play dice?" Fish Hook looked at the man. "I am not surprised that you have never seen anything like me before. I do not believe that there are any like me in this place. As to my loneliness, I have spent little time in the company of others, so I do not miss it." Fish Hook looked the man up and down. He did not seem to be much of a threat. "I have never played dice before, but if you are willing to teach me, I will play." Turning to Xavion he spoke. "Since it appears you will not be exploring the town until tomorrow I will set myself as guard outside your room once I have learned to play this dice game." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Aug 26, 2008, 1:56am As the group retired for the night Khesfrin went to his room and found it very clean. There was a small place for a fire in one wall as well as a fine bed, many covers, wash stand, chamber pot, towels, pegs for garments, and several chairs and stools. He then set about making it secure for the night locking the door and proping a chair up against it. He then turned to the window and noticed it did not lock... In the dormitory room Hautra found that he was sharing the room with eight other people. The place had a dozen pallets, and in the morning, he had found out from the others, the table in the center was loaded with hot tea and fresh loaves at no extra cost. Thelios went ouside and just a little to the north of the building found a tree with a nice grassy patch under it. There he bedded down for the night. Just a little further north of him was what looked to be a newly constructed building. The stranger had introduced himself to Fish hook as Furnok of Ferd, a treasure finder by profession. he had then gone on to say," What, never played dice! By the cudgel of St. Cuthbert,what kind of traveller are yah!" Furnok then reached into a purse on the side of his belt and pulled out a pair of dice, " One of the simplest games I know, and also one of my favorites is Knucklebones the object is to score the highest total on two dice." OOC: outside of the people I posted for I don't think any of the rest of you have picked out a sleeping arangement for the night. If you have and I missed it I'm sorry, just post it again or send me a PM. I posted the map of the Upper floor in the Hommlet maps section with the prices for each of the rooms marked on it. The rooms with a red X are unavailable. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Aug 26, 2008, 9:18am Sorry, Auggie will ask for the private suite As Auggie goes to his room, He will lock the door, if it has a lock, otherwise, stack a piece of furniture in front of it. then, light a candle, and meditate for awhile, then, go to sleep on the bed. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Aug 26, 2008, 2:05pm (OOC: Xavion would want to pay for a private room if one is left. If not, happily will stay in the dorm.) Xavion nodded to Fish Hook and placed a hand on his/it's... he still thought of Fish Hook as an it but slowly it seemed to be changing. "Alright. Remember, the point of the game is to have fun... at least I think that it is... never been much of a gamer myself." He then turned and retired to where he was sleeping. He carefully arranged his things and then he settled down for evening prayers to Pelor before he will go to sleep. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Aug 26, 2008, 2:21pm Hautra thanks the people for informing him of tea and leaves. "Oh boy. I love hot tea," he thinks to himself.

came in. As she walks, she wonders what new things she will encounter with this group and if she will make any lasting friends. Soon she leaves the road and moves through the trees to the spot where she left her companion. Finding a good spot, she drops her backpack and pulls out a bedroll. Settling down, she whistles twice and waits quietly. It is not long before Umbra appears. The sleek black mare approaches and lowers her head for a gentle pat and scratch behind the ears. "Bet you thought I would stay in town this night. I know you dislike stables, we will have to work on that. Tomorrow I will see about getting you some fruit." Syanna grins and continues to talk to the mare for a time before finally sleeping. The mare stays nearby, watching over her protectively.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Aug 27, 2008, 12:09pm Just as he had fallen off to sleep Thellios was awoken by several Sharp blows to the ribs. Standing over him was a man in chain mail. He carried a flail in one hand and a shield in the other. On his back was a crossbow and tucked in his belt was a dagger.When Thellios had come around he said to him," Wake up and move on, you can't sleep here in the middle of town." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Aug 27, 2008, 3:44pm Looking up at the figure poking him, Thellios stands up growling glaring at the armor clad figure, "I sleep where I like, I'm not hurting anything, and I wont sleep in an inn. I suggest you let me be I'm already angry enough with you poking me." Thellios reaches behind him grabbing his axes pulling them out, ready to fight. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Aug 27, 2008, 11:59pm The man looked Thellios up and down then said, "First of all, son, if I were you I would put those things up before I got hurt.

Clutching his axes tighter, Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Aug 28, 2008, 1:11am Khesfrin Rhola:

Khesfrin grabs one of he stools in the room and places it on the washbasin stand. Then he takes the wash basin itself and sets that on top of the stacked stool in front of the window. He pauses, says a small prayer for the night, moves the bed so that a corner is slightly in front of the door. Once all that is done he climbs under the sheets and drifts off to sleep.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Aug 28, 2008, 11:54pm The man now looked as if he was getting very annoyed and said to Thellios," Look you have three choices son. You can go stay at the inn, you can go out of town and sleep on the ground all you want and come back in the mornin', or you can sleep in the dungeon in the tower until the Justice of the Peace can see you. The choice is up to you." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Aug 29, 2008, 11:54am OOC: Sorry I thought I posted this awhile back, but I guess it never made it on the board. "You see, I usually make wagers on this game thats where the skill comes in. Tryin to figure the odds of beatin' the other players roll.

"I am not smart enough or wise enough to make the calculating of odds enjoyable for either of us, nor do I have the money to make wagers. I thank you for offering to teach me to play. I think it would be best if I took up my guard duty. An outspoken man such as yourself should have little trouble finding someone better suited for your game. I am certain a human with your experience will no doubt be very successful in earning extra money while he enjoys himself." With that said Fish Hook moved away, drawing it's sword and equipping it's shield as it moved to guard the door where it's companion slept.

Fish Hook had stood ready the whole night before Xavion's door. It waited patiently for him to awaken. It was aware that Xavion woke up to pray at the rising of the sun. It was a bit concerned that the comfort of a bed might cause the cleric to miss the sun rise.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Sept 3, 2008, 1:35am Xavion opens the door and is a little surprised to find Fish Hook standing there.. almost as a guard. He raises an eyebrow slowly, "Fish Hook... did you stand outside my door all night?" He began to wait for him to answer but thought better of it, "Never mind... don't answer that. I don't even want to know... but next time, maybe we should get you a room." He smiled at the Warforged and smiled good-naturedly. He clapped a hand on Fish Hook's metal shoulder and inhaled, "Come on, I don't know about you but I'm famished! And the smells coming from below are a gift from Pelor. I need to break my fast." He waits a bit for Fish Hook to respond before heading down to the common room, glancing around. Seeing Khesfrin and Hautra, he smiles and nods over at the table at which they are seated, "Let's join them for our morning meal, Fish Hook."

After his breakfast arrives, Khesfrin will talk in between mouthfuls. "I guess we should get to know this village before we traipse off through the wilderness. Get a feel for the place. See if there are any commonly hit areas, or other strangers in town. That sort of thing." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Sept 3, 2008, 2:31pm Thellios arrives in town and returns to the inn to eat a deserving breakfast, walking in he sees the dragon shaman and duskblade he comes over extends his greeting and orders his meal................."Hello fellow travelers are we ready to rid the land of evil today......." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Sept 3, 2008, 6:17pm Xavion opened the door and was a little surprised to find Fish Hook standing there.. almost as a guard. He raised an eyebrow slowly, "Fish Hook... did you stand outside my door all night?" He began to wait for him to answer but thought better of it, "Never mind... don't answer that. I don't even want to know... but next time, maybe we should get you a room" Fish Hook looked at Xavion, it's face bearing no true expression. Why the cleric of Pelor would want to spend church money on a room for him made little sense? He looked at the Warforged and smiled good-naturedly. He clapped a hand on Fish Hook's metal shoulder and inhaled, "Come on, I don't know about you but I'm famished! And the smells coming from below are a gift from Pelor. I need to break my fast." Again Fish Hook was a bit puzzled. Since it did not eat any more than it slept, there was little chance that it was famished. They had not been on the road together for long, so perhaps the cleric had not noticed. Fish Hook did not feel that it was it's place to question it's charge on the matter. It did seem that Xavion was waiting for some type of reply so it provided one. "Feel free to lead the way." With that, they headed downstair. Xavion looked around and saw others from the night before seated at a table. "Let's join them for our morning meal, Fish Hook." As Xavion moved toward the table, Fish Hook motioned to one of the serving girls. As she approached reluctantly, it spoke to her. "My companion has need of food and drink. See that he wants for nothing." It's voice showed little emotion. It picked a silver coin from the pouch the brothers had given it. It was dwarfed in his palm. "It is only right you be properly paid for your service. Is this enough?" It waited for a reply. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Sept 4, 2008, 12:58am After Hautra,Khesfrin,Fish Hook, Xavion,Auggie and Thellios had all gathered at the table their food and drink was soon delivered. The serving girl, replying to Fish Hook, said, " why, yes sir, that should be more than enough." noticebly absent howevr was the druidess from the night before, Syanna. The food was of course of the same excellent quality as the night before. There were fewer patrons but this would of course be easily accounted for by the fact that the work day had just begun. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Sept 4, 2008, 11:09am Auggie speaks up, "Moathouse, We go, today?" looking around at the others, as he eats his breakfast. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Sept 4, 2008, 2:55pm At first Fish Hook was going to take up it's place standing behind Xavion, but thought better of it. It would be more difficult to discuss the days plans if Xavion was forced to turn around every time he wished to speak to Fish Hook. The furniture did seem sturdy enough to bear it's extra weight, so it sat. When the waitress offered Fish Hook a plate, it spoke to her again. "I am a living construct. I do not require food, drink or sleep. As such, this food and drink would be better served to someone else." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Sept 4, 2008, 4:51pm Hautra nods to Rhola and says, "I slept real good. You?" Hautra says to the half-ogre, "Greetings. Have a seat then, if you like." Hautra turns to Auggie, "Perhaps we are." He turns to the dragon shaman, "Is the moathouse part of the search?"

Post by xavion on Sept 7, 2008, 1:19am Xavion was eating his meal when they noticed that Syanna had not joined them. He was going to volunteer to go with them but they were off quickly. He wasn't sure what he could do but he was fairly confidant that she could handle herself and if not, Pelor would watch over her and send his two compatriots to her in time. Looking around he quickly finished his meal, "Well Fish Hook, looks like we should also help out." He stood, "Come, let us visit the church. Perhaps we may find out more about the source of evil there." He waits for Fish Hook to stand and signal he is ready before he leaves the inn and heads to the church. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Sept 7, 2008, 9:33am Hautra turns to Auggie, "Am I to assume you're to check out the moathouse?" as he walks along with him.

The wounded goblin immediately fell to the ground unconscious and bleeding. The other goblin, seeing his fallen comrade and that he was now outnumbered two to one, turned and began to flee. Thellios and Khesfrin rushed down the road leading east out of town, the very same one that the group had come to this town on. Glancing to the north Thellios noted just the slightest wisp of smoke making its way into the dawn sky. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Sept 7, 2008, 11:22pm Thellios seeing the smoke in the air points up "Look over there Khesfrin, smoke, lets hurry."Thellios takes off on a full run towards the smoke hoping to find their lost comrade..... Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Sept 7, 2008, 11:43pm Fish Hook stood up and followed Xavion out the door and down the street to the temple. It did not know much about this St. Cuthbert, other than what it had heard from some of the brothers. It seemed this was a god of the law and appeared to have little regard for mercy. Fish Hook knew that rules were important so it looked forward to hearing the teachings of these priests. It also hoped they could give information on the area. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Sept 8, 2008, 12:11pm Auggie to His companion, "Moat house, Bandits there be," motions with His hand, "Question these people, perhaps know of other trouble, they might." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by syanna on Sept 8, 2008, 2:28pm As the other goblin flees, the wolf looks back at Syanna. Nodding she smiles and says "Thank you my friend, your free to go and give chase." Realizing the morning is passing she clears up her camping area and checks the fallen goblins body to see if it was carrying anything of worth. (Search roll) [dice=20+2] Once done, she calls Umbra and heads out to the road at a quick pace. "I bet I have missed the gathering with the others... I hope I can find them.

He waved broadly to them, almost falling down, and said, " Shello, donsh think i've sheen you before. My name's Elmo, wash brings you to Hommlet." Syanna found nothing of interest except the morning star the goblin was carrying and her own belongings. Just as she was getting her stuff back together Thellios and Khesfrin came running into her campsite.

He waved broadly to them, almost falling down, and said, " Shello, donsh think i've sheen you before. My name's Elmo, wash brings you to Hommlet."

With that said it handed Elmo the javelin. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Sept 12, 2008, 12:58am

Elmo put away his dagger and took the javelin. After studying it for a moment he then handed it back to Fish Hook saying, " Thank shoe but I'm not very good with these." He then spread his arms wide and continued by saying, " Now if you had a really big axe. o shwell." He then continued stumbling down the road in the direction of the Welcome Wench after a few steps he turned back around again and said to Fish Hook and Xavion, " Hey , why donsh you fellas join me for a few pints when you get done wish your buisnesh?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Sept 12, 2008, 12:15pm Hautra nods at him and heads out the shop with him. He asks, "So, what did you learnt?"

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Sept 13, 2008, 5:07pm Xavion smiled, pleased at the way Fish Hook handled the situation. He looked at Elmo, "Thank you for the offer my friend but we have pressing business. If there is time, perhaps we can join you. If not, may Pelor shine on you always." He turned to Fish Hook, "Yes, we really should be going." With a wave to Elmo, he turns and heads on to the Temple.

Thellios picks up the goblin and throws him over his shoulder Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Sept 13, 2008, 7:30pm Fish Hook and Xavion arrived at the church of St. Cuthbert and entered through a double door on the south side of the building. Once inside they stood in a large 20'x30' hall. The place was floored in well-polished wood, with wooden ceiling and pillars extending all the way to the roof high overhead. The walls were painted in pastoral scenes, and tinted glass mosaic windows of many shades of color allowed light into the hall. There were no benches, pews or stools. After a moment a young man in plate mail approached them and said, " Can I help you ? Have you come to pay your tithes or offerings today ?"

Thellios picks up the goblin and throws him over his shoulder Khesfrin Rhola "Well, i'm sure Xavion has gone to the temple.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Sept 13, 2008, 9:46pm Xavion smiled and bowed politely to the man in plate mail. "Good day to you, I am Xavion, acolyte of Pelor and I come bringing a tithe to St. Cuthbert and seeking wisdom and guidance.

Fish Hook looked over at the offering box, but made no move to put any money in. It understood about tithing, but has no wish to give what little money it had to every god on this world. Instead, it speaks. "We have been told that there are bandits in the area causing trouble for local farmers, travelers and towns people. We are here, along with several others, to help find these bandits and kill them. Will you help us find them or tell us of someone who might have more information on this?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Sept 15, 2008, 1:01pm Auggie walks in, wrinkles his nose a bit from the smell, "Information we seek, Bandits, we have heard about, help us, perhaps, you can.?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Sept 15, 2008, 5:20pm "Thank you sir." Grumbles Thellios, he puts the goblin over his shoulder with one arm and heads off to the tower to drop the goblen............ Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Sept 15, 2008, 7:13pm Xavion smiles and goes to the collection box and drops in 2 silver, along with a small prayer. He then turned back and rejoined Fish Hook and cleric as Fish Hook explained the situation. He seemed to sum it up nicely enough, there was no need to interrupt at this moment.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Sept 15, 2008, 9:51pm The cleric introduced himself as Calmer then went on to tell Fish Hook and Xavier that the church had only been built since after the war with the temple by the viscount,in honor of the aid rendered to him by the Archcleric of Veluna during the war against the Temple of Elemental Evil. He then leaned over as if telling a secret and said," There has been some talk of bandits in the area. They never come close to Hommlit though staying between Hommlit and Nulb mostly. What has me worried though is that the old Cannoness, Canoness Y'dey left suddenly on some sort of trip and hasn't returned yet. I fear for her. Since then the church has sent a new cannon, Canon Terjon. He does his job well enough I suppose but he has no knack for dealing with the people. I think he resents being posted at such a " rural " church. The leather worker looked up and said to Auggie, "Aye tell you about bandits I can. If there are any lurkin' about here they're probably in the Moat House. The place is cursed. All it has attracted since it was built is evil. By slave labor it was built, people that the cult had kidnapped. They intended to do the same to the people in this village but we stooped them. When the army came by after laying the Temple low we Joined them and reduced the place to rubble. I'd stay away from it if I were you." After passing by what looks like the beginnings of a new castle Thellios and Khesfrin arrive at the tower. This structure is some 55 feet tall, a smaller tower rising inside the greater at about 35 feet above the ground. Its entrance is accessible only by going up a curving flight of stone stairs which terminate in a landing about 10 feet above the ground. The outer door of the tower lowers to form a bridge to the stone landing. There are numbers of arrow slits around the tower, and it has a splay around the base to about 6 feet in height. The lower and upper battlements are machicolated, the merlons being pierced for archery as well. Two men-at-arms watch from its roof. There are also two men standing outside it apparently supervising the new construction. one of them wears armor. The other is in robes leaning on a staff.

Rufus leads Khesfrin over the drawbridge and into the tower. They enter a large room. Flanking the inner portal are two fireplaces, where most of the cooking is done by two to three servants. The lords of the place sit in judgement either here or at a table in the curved alcove. Trestle tables can be extended down and across to accommodate about 40 people when a feast or revel is held. Several comfortable chairs are placed along the walls, and the walls themselves are hung with tapestries and decorated with shields, arms, and hunting trophies—12 shields, four long swords, two broad swords, four spears, two battle axes, and the heads and horns of various creatures. Ramps curving upwards and downwards lead to other levels. ( see maps The Guard Tower room 1 ) As he walks towards the ramp leading down Rufus tells Khesfrin, " If you spent the night at the Welcome Wench then you probably met any new people in town. I have my suspicions about a few people here but they are just that, suspicions. As for your guide friend there are very few locals who would willingly go to the Moat House, most tend to avoid it so I would be cautious of him." Syanna and Thellios arrive at the druid grove. This is obviously a place of worship. The trees are neatly pruned, and the grass is well tended. A carefully placed line of bluish stones sets off the path leading to a rock cairn where flowers, nuts, berries, and garlands of leaves are placed. A small path leads beyond the shrine to a low-roofed wooden building placed under the great boughs of the central oaks of the copse. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Sept 19, 2008, 10:55am Auggie will also head for the Druid grove. Seeing the others approaching, He pauses, "Much, we have learned. Suspicious people, spies for moat house, they may be." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Sept 19, 2008, 2:08pm Xavion nods, "That is a good idea, Fish Hook." He looked at the cleric, "In case we ever happent o run across your previous Cannoness, we can pass along your concern to her." He will then wait for the description of her before they leave.

Welcome Wench then you probably met any new people in town. I have my suspicions about a few people here but they are just that, suspicions. As for your guide friend there are very few locals who would willingly go to the Moat House, most tend to avoid it so I would be cautious of him."

Khesfrin Rhola "That was my opnion also. I figured that any local guide wouldn't be staying in the Inn, but have a place in town. It's easy to see newcomers who arrive after you do. My companions are familiarizing themselves with the village as we speak. Once we decide to check out the moat house, i'll report back what we find. I'm wondering though if it would be possible to stage a merchnt caravan as a trap for the bandits - using us as the merchant, et al. Are there any carts or wagons available in town?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Sept 19, 2008, 8:25pm Calmer told Xavion and Fish Hook,"The cannoness Y'day is old and bent, with scraggly gray locks sticking out from beneath an aged shawl she wears the year 'round." After going down the ramp Rufus and Khesfrin reached another large room (area 2 on the map ) Here were all sorts of supplies —food, ale, beer, wine, oil, and so forth. This place is not pierced with slits or windows. Ramps lead up and down to other levels of the tower. Rufus thought for a moment. "It's beginning to get late in the season and most of the people need their wagons and carts for the harvest. The only people I could think of that might have any to spare would be Rannos and Gremag at the trading post. They handle most of the caravans in and out of town." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Sept 19, 2008, 10:22pm "Hey Auggie, we need to tread softly as there is a bear that the druid has befriended, we need to see if he speaks goblin as we caught one and need to interrogate him, khesfrin took him to the tower, if the bear attacks ill handle the bear as not to harm it.,....."

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Sept 20, 2008, 10:09pm Rufus went down yet another ramp to another large room it would appear that Horses were sometimes stabled here, and there are heaps of straw, hay and oats to provide for their needs. Four cells along the southeast wall are for prisoner retention. Each is closed by an oakendoor, barred, locked, and chained. In each cell are fetters and chains. Rufus pointed to the cells.

As Thellios was trying to silently explore the Druids grove he heard a rustling in the trees behind him then a large black bear and an older man in leather armor emerged from them. The man carries a staff with twined serpent heads at the top and a scimitar. Around his neck you see a silver pendant in the shape of a sickle. He looks Thellios up and down and asks him, " What do you think you are doing sneaking around my home? Have you ever caught me sneaking around in yours?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Sept 22, 2008, 1:21am Thellios grumbles "Listen old man I mean no disrespect I simply came to ask a favor, but if you insist on being rude ill cut you down where you stand" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Sept 22, 2008, 1:59am time=1222063454]Rufus replied to khesfrin, " Yes it is.

For instance, here it is usually customary to announce yourself before entering a person's home and favors can often prove to be costly.

On the way out Jaroo, Indicating a small container near the alter by the entrance said,"If you don't mind, I collect for the poor and needy of this community. " Then noticing Syanna he added, " Are you also of the Old Faith child ?" On their way back to the inn Xavion and Fish Hook saw Syanna, Thellios, Auggie, and Hautra leaving the Druidic grove with an older man accompanying them " Believe me the tale of the dragon has grown to a size much larger than the dragon itself. We didn't bother to ask it it's name" Rufus said with a smile " The thing wasn't quite mature yet and it was a green dragon. Not the most ferocious of the breeds of dragon kind.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by syanna on Sept 23, 2008, 2:42pm Syanna nods and introduces herself to Jaroo. Turning she too drops several gold pieces into the donation box. "This is a beautiful place, I apologize for the intrusion and thank you for your help. We fear there is danger to this community. I was camping just outside of town and found the goblin rummaging through my things. there was two of them, but i managed to scare the other one off. Im concerned because they were so close to town. We are here to offer our help as it seems the bandit problem is getting worse. How long have you been in this town if i may ask?"

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Sept 23, 2008, 6:49pm Auggie drops a couple gold in the box, after quickly glancing in it, if its open, otherwise, just dropping the two gold into the box. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Sept 24, 2008, 1:03am Jaroo thanked everyone for their donations then turned to Syanna," I have lived here now for five years. I was sent, originally, by the circle of the Old Faith in the Gnarly Wood to make sure that the Temple of Elemental Evil has, in fact, been destroyed and to help repress any rise of evil of that sort. You see while the forces that fought in the war against the Temple were satisfied they had eradicated it many others were not so sure. It is thought by many, including those of my group, that some of their members may have escaped and are lying in wait for an opportunity to strike again. This news you bring of goblins straying so close to Hommlit has me concerned. Humanoids and their ilk were a large part of the Temple's forces. The banditry also worries me because that is how the Temple and its forces at the Moat House financed itself and " recruited " labor." Rufus shook his head," With supervising the construction of the new keep Burne and I haven't had much of a chance to investigate the bandit problem so I'm afraid I can't tell you much more than I have already. If you don't mind, I better get back to the construction site. While Burne is a good and loyal friend, and an excellent adventurer being a wizard, however, he doesn't know squat about building fortifications." Rufus then smiled broadly. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Sept 24, 2008, 7:00am "Hmmmmmm. we best get back to the goblin Im really interested in what he has to say willingly or not I dont really care, I definetely dont mind getting him to talk the hard way."

Xavion looks around, confused. "Goblin friend? Huh? What? Ok, so apparently you have been more productive than we have. What's this about a goblin?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Sept 25, 2008, 9:15pm Fish Hook, who had followed Xavion from the church in silence, felt it best to remain silent on this discuss as well. It found that listening to the others made forming it's own opinion easier. When Xavion looked to it for comment, it was more likely to nod rather than join in on the conversation. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Sept 25, 2008, 11:21pm Thellios looks a Xavion "Syanna was attacked in the early morning by goblins, she dispatched one and another fled being outnumbered. We need to question him to see what he knows so we can get info on the banditry......? Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Sept 26, 2008, 11:30am A look of shock registered on Xavion's face. He turned to Syanna, "Well, you certainly have been VERY busy. Are you well, Syanna?" He looked her up and down, "You seem well... any injuries that need to be tended?" For the moment, he forgot the goblin, the healing training he has received kicking in over other concerns. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Sept 26, 2008, 2:41pm "Goblins may be scouts, other creatures, more intelligent, better organized, using them, they may." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by syanna on Sept 27, 2008, 9:48am Turning to Xavion, Syanna smiles and reply's, "I am fine thank you. I choose to camp outside of town because Umbra doesn't like to be left in the stables. She is still somewhat untrusting of other people. I do apologize for worrying anyone. I am curious to see what the goblin has to say. It seems my choice to stay with Umbra will possibly give us some much needed information. Have you found anything out?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Sept 27, 2008, 1:37pm Xavion nods, "I'm glad that you are well. And yes, it perhaps good that you decided to stay there... so, perhaps you should go on and question the goblin without me. I will not be of much use there... my talents lay in other places. I shall go to the inn and you can tell me if you find anything..." He looks to Fish Hook, "Feel free to accompany them, you may be able to help them." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Sept 27, 2008, 1:42pm Auggie speaks up after Syanna, "Guide, over eager he was, take us to the Moat house, he wanted to. Shopkeepers, wary of Moat House, keep away, they say, trouble, there is, Moat House, center of it, they say. Hire Guide, I say, wary, we be, perhaps have close up talk, dagger at throat of Guide, information we gain, " chuckles quietly Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Sept 27, 2008, 2:24pm "hmmmmm......Ive got an idea, let me hire the guide to take me to the moat house and you guys trail behind as to not be seen and if something happens you can come from behind and attack from behind.......hahaha, i like the danger....." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Sept 27, 2008, 4:04pm After the group's chatter had died down Jaroo asked, " By the way, where did you take this goblin for safe keeping. I hope it wasn't the inn, Ostler doesn't care much for demi-humans since the war." He then surveyed the group, " Who is accompanying me to where ever you have locked the little blighter up?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Sept 28, 2008, 6:34pm Hautra looks to the party before he makes his decision. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Sept 28, 2008, 8:57pm Xavion looked at Thellios, "Hmmmm.... that might not be a bad idea but, I have a few problems. First off, we seem to be assuming the worst of the guide. We all are new here and we looked like it. I mean, covered in trail dust, I would have pegged us for new to town as well. Second, looking at our... accouterments, I would have guessed us being adventurers and if I was looking to make a copper, I would have offered to be a guide as well, if I lived here. Finally, we have all been seen together and well, anyone around here would think we are a group. So if only one of us goes off with him, if he's up to no good, wouldn't he be suspicious of the rest of us following?"

" Thellios and Auggie arrived at the bar and after waiting about an hour the man who had offered his services as a guide came down the stairs from the rooms OOC did anyone else go with Thellios Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Sept 30, 2008, 5:56am Auggie would have gone with Thellios, since they both have the same idea. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Sept 30, 2008, 12:54pm Thellios walks up to the man. "I hear around town that you know the area pretty well. I'm interested in checking out the moat house how much would it be for your services, and when would you be able to take us there?" Thellios calls the barkeep over and orders a round of ale for all three and motions the other for Auggie and the other gentleman to sit down. "I like to have a drink when discussing business."

Xavion adn Fish Hook arrived back at the inn in time to see Thellios striking up a conversation with Taruko. Syanna and Jaroo traveled to the tower. Upon arriving Rufus hailed them, " Hello Jaroo, didn't think I'd ever see you here." Then turning to Syanna he said, " What happened to your large friend ?" Jaroo gave a low grumble about, " cutting down perfectly good trees and digging up perfectly good sod." Then Rufus went on, " Here, let me show you to your friend.", and he lead them to the dungeon where khesfrin had been waiting. Need to know what Hautra and Fish Hook are doing. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Oct 2, 2008, 1:26am Xavion having nothing to offer at this point decided to follow through with his earlier plan. He told the others that he would await them at the inn and went off to the inn to just relax. Fish Hook followed along, saying nothing, but keeping an eye on things around it. Once they arrived at the Inn, it waits for Xavion to sit and then stationed itself in a position where it could watch Xavion's back in case of trouble. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by syanna on Oct 2, 2008, 2:29pm Syanna nods and follows Rufus. Greeting Khesfrin she says, "We were lucky enough to find someone who speaks goblin."

Jaroo asked the goblin Khesfrin's question, " He says man never leave Moat House except to lead raids and to gather new troops." In reply to the question about who he trusted Jaroo replied, " I trust most of the people of the town. They are mostly just your ordinary, hard working, people.

Taruko says, "let me grab my stuff real quick", then heads quickly up the stairs. he is gone about 10 minutes and comes back down stairs with a backpack. " Shall we be off then ?" He says to Thellios and Auggie. He then heads towards the Welcome Wench's sables. Jaroo told Khesfrin he was more than welcome, " And keep me posted on what you find there if you decide to take this up. And if you are in need of healing sometime I would more than happy to oblige, for a small donation to the needy of Hommlet of course." he said with a grin.

That's pretty much where I have everyone. With the exception that since it took Taruko an hour to come down the stairs after Auggie and Thellios arrived khesfrin and company may already be at the bar also or arrived just shortly after Thellios and Auggie left. Taruko replied to Thellios, " Well, I'm not really from around here. I heard about the banditry and came down here to see if there was any gold to be made. Unfortunately the only person I've had the good fortune to meet up with is that good hearted but slightly dimwitted gentleman you saw me with last night.

how do ya want to do extra damage Critical Hits When you make an attack roll and get a natural 20 (the d20 shows 20), you hit regardless of your target’s Armor Class, and you have scored a threat. The hit might be a critical hit (or "crit"). To find out if it’s a critical hit, you immediately make a critical roll—another attack roll with all the same modifiers as the attack roll you just made. If the critical roll also results in a hit against the target’s AC, your original hit is a critical hit. (The critical roll just needs to hit to give you a crit. It doesn’t need to come up 20 again.) If the critical roll is a miss, then your hit is just a regular hit. A critical hit means that you roll your damage more than once, with all your usual bonuses, and add the rolls together. Unless otherwise specified, the threat range for a critical hit on an attack roll is 20, and the multiplier is ×2. Exception: Extra damage over and above a weapon’s normal damage is not multiplied when you score a critical hit. Increased Threat Range: Sometimes your threat range is greater than 20. That is, you can score a threat on a lower number.

In such cases, a roll of lower than 20 is not an automatic hit. Any attack roll that doesn’t result in a hit is not a threat. Increased Critical Multiplier: Some weapons deal better than double damage on a critical hit. Spells and Critical Hits: A spell that requires an attack roll can score a critical hit. A spell attack that requires no attack roll cannot score a critical hit. Turuko has an ac of 15.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Oct 28, 2008, 1:54am Turuko seems to have disappeared. Gilraen sees a very odd assortment of people leaving the stable at the inn that he just pulled up to. They are asking about some missing friends of theirs. Shantillie sees a rather mixed group of people heading out of town to the east. To her they look like they could be adventurers for surely nothing else could bring such a diverse group together. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by melileaya on Oct 28, 2008, 11:14am After speaking with the guards Shantillie follows their directions and goes towards the Inn. When she sees the little church she decides that a short prayer to Pelor for him allowing her safe passage to her destination is in order. After doing so she goes to the inn, as she enters, she stops just inside the entrance and looks around. Finally she notices the only person in the room with the armor that marks him as a Pelor worshiper and walks to him. "Greetings fellow believer in Pelor I am Shantillie Pansong. I am happy to meet you." She bows politely to him. She is 5'5" tall and anyone who knows about different races would know she was a Satyr. After they have a chance to talk she goes to the bar and orders something to eat. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Oct 28, 2008, 4:14pm (OOC: I am assuming that Shantille was speaking to Xavion. If not.. lemme know.) Xavion had straggled behind the others and when he was stopped, he paused and smiled. He was relived when she said, "Greetings fellow believer in Pelor I am Shantillie Pansong. I am happy to meet you." He bowed slightly to her, "Greetings and may the light of Pelor always shine on you. I am Xavion, a simple servant of Pelor. I do not mean to be brash but I believe that I must hurry to not get left behind by my compatriots..." He looks around, trying to not seem to be too impatient.

She looks to the rest of the party hoping someone can track, if not, it will take that much longer to find their other companions. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Oct 30, 2008, 1:57pm While searching the body Thellios says to Auggie "What will we do now, continue on to the Moat House or go back to town."

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by ravenwoolf on Oct 30, 2008, 11:15pm Thellios looks up"Hmmmmmm I agree that we'll need help to advance, but if there is to be trust between us we'll need to tell the truth about our skirmish or at least some of the truth. We'll just tell them that we we're ambushed and were able to take out one of them and that the so-called guide ran off." The more secrets we hide will end up biting us in the arse." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Oct 30, 2008, 11:23pm As Xavion and the group travel down the road they see an old,disused, side track branching off to the left. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Oct 30, 2008, 11:24pm Fish Hook turned to the new arrivals. "My name is Fish Hook and I am the traveling companion to this servant of Pelor. Together with the rest of these individuals and two more whom have gone missing, we are traveling to a place called the Moat House. Several goblins that were captured near here have confessed that there is where a local bandit group is currently hiding out. Although it is not my decision to make alone, I would not mind more traveling companions, for I go to fight for Pelor, rather than concern myself with treasure and such." It then turned to look to Xavion for confirmation.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Nov 7, 2008, 3:03pm Hautra is rested and get him ready to go. He is now ready to go and hears all this, "Agreed. Let's get going." He gets on his horse and gets in the lead and waits for someone to help him lead the party to find the moathouse since he doesn't know where it is. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Nov 7, 2008, 5:19pm Auggie goes up next to Hautra, False guide said Moat house this way. Suggest we travel it for awhile, moat house not in view, try other way He indicates the side trail he and Thellios had come down as the suggested way to the Moat House. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Nov 7, 2008, 6:43pm A scrub of thorns, thistles, weeds, and shrubs grows thickly along the edge of the track which leads to the ruins. Even the track is mostly overgrown and cluttered with fallen branches and trees. Here and there it is washed out, in other places a mire. Some game evidently still follows the pathway, however, for after a mile or so faint traces can be seen. But even considering this, going is slow, and it takes over an hour to reach the place on horseback, or two to trudge along on foot. Considerable hacking and clearing is necessary to make the way passable, so double the time required for the first trip. After two miles, as the track turns more northerly, the land begins to sink and become boggy. Tall marsh plants grow thickly where cattails and tamaracks do not. Off to the left can be seen the jagged silhouette of the moathouse. A side path, banked high to cross over the wetland to either side, just north to the entrance of the ruin. The track here is only about 15 feet wide or so, with crumbling embankments making travel near the edge dangerous. The bogs stink. The vegetation appears dense and prolific, but somehow sickly and unhealthy, creepers and vines throwing their strangling loops over the skeletons of dead saplings and living bushes alike. The rushes and cattails rustle and bend even to a slight zephyr, and weird birdcalls, croakings, and other unwholesome sounds come faintly across the fen.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Dec 4, 2008, 9:23am Hautra nods at Thellios and the druid for being all right. He goes to Auggie and sighs. He walks over to Xavion and pulls him away from the party and asks, "Sorry, but is there a way we could combine our powers and attempt to bring this Auggie back to the Realm of the Living from the Realm of the Dead? I mean, I know I practice in sorcery and the magic I use is chaotic at best. I use it for the purpose of good. With your divine power and my arcane power, is there a way?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Dec 4, 2008, 10:04am Fish Hook looked down at Auggie's body. Death had not really been much a part of it's life, despite being a warrior.

and the magic I use is chaotic at best. I use it for the purpose of good. With your divine power and my arcane power, is there a way?" Xavion stood and went over to speak with Hautra. He listened to him speak before shaking his head, "Not that I am aware of... if there is, it is beyond my meager knowledge... perhaps one of the more knowledgeable priests of my order would know of something. Perhaps the priest back in town may be able to help us. I was about to suggest we take him there. If we are going to have any chance of reviving him, we can't delay too long." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Dec 4, 2008, 8:37pm Hautra responses to Xavion, "All right. Let's do that." He waits for the rest of the party to move along and for Fish Hook to pick up Auggie. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Dec 4, 2008, 10:15pm You arrive at the church of St. Cuthbert without any further encounters along the way. Calmer, the low level cleric who assists the Cannon, takes one look at your bedraggled group and says, " Just a moment, I will get the Cannon. " Soon Cannon Terjon arrives. Without affecting much emotion he begins to take a look at your wounded. After looking over Syanna and Thellios he says, "I can help them, but the dead one is beyond my power. Perhaps if you went to see the practitioner of the Old Faith, Jaroo, he might be able to help him somehow." He then added, almost as an afterthought, "I suppose you have very little money to pay for this service ?"

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Dec 5, 2008, 9:29pm Xavion spoke respectfully to the Canon, "Sadly, we do not but I am willing to offer whatever I can to pay for this service. This man died while fighting by my side and I feel obligated to do what I can for him IF it is within my power."

OOC: can we roll divine intervention for the downed Auggie? OOC:Because of the fact that you are all so low level, and have yet to do anything that would attract a deity's attention, the chances are slim to none that would actually work. Plus, of the surviving characters who could garner divine attention, eg the cleric, Auggie is of a considerably different alignment. IC: The Cannon looks a little startled, " Oh, I wasn't speaking of raising the dead creature, I'm simply not powerful enough to do that. Normally healing just these two, however, would require, at least, an 120gp donation to the church. But I see you are a priest of Pelor, who's church has mediated several disputes for mine." He then leaned closely to Xavion and whispered something to him. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Dec 6, 2008, 2:01am Xavion leaned forward slightly and listened to the Cannon. Once he finished speaking, Xavion smiled and nodded. "I would be most honored to do as you ask, sir."

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Dec 7, 2008, 11:28pm Whatever Xavion had agreed to do for the follower of St Cuthbert, Fish Hook hoped it would not be too dangerous. The Pelorites were a group that were not afraid to get involved, even when it was dangerous. That was one of the reasons it had sworn fealty to the followers of this divine being. It did not remember anything before it had been awakened in the tomb, but Fish Hook was acutely aware that it was a stranger in a strange land and these Pelorites, despite there faults gave it a sense of purpose. A cause, as it were and that was something a warrior like it needed. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Dec 10, 2008, 1:37am OOG: Where would you like to go next?

Any assistance, magic or otherwise would be appreciated." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Dec 12, 2008, 1:41am Jaroo looked at the party before him, " I can bring him back, in a sense. While he should retain most of his memories, he more than likely will not be the same creature you have come to know." He takes his staff and draws a circle on the ground, " We believe that life is a circle. Your born, grow old, die, and are born again. Souls are often reborn in a form different than that which they inhabited in the previous life, depending on what the oerth mother wishes to teach them in the new life. We are loath to break this circle, as it is a fundamental part of nature. We can, however, greatly accelerate it." He said with a smile.

He then gets a slightly serious look on his face," Normally I would ask for around a 300gp donation to the poor of Hommlit for this service, but I did offer you my healing services before you left.

"I like the others in the party have little in the way of gold at the moment, i am willing to offer half of anything i receive from this adventure as well as helping you in the future in whatever way possible. Would that be acceptable to you?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Dec 15, 2008, 10:40pm Xavion had remained silent since leaving the Cannon. He knew the others had dealt with the druid more than he had, so he let them lead the conversation. When Auggie was brought back, he couldn't entirely believe his eyes. He had studied about what had happened but had never experienced. He had only met them fairly recently, but already he was experiencing so many new things... this was already proving to be an interesting venture.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Jan 2, 2009, 8:37pm After circling the moat you see three areas where the walls have collapsed allowing access to the interior by climbing over the rubble. The first area, on the western wall, would lead into the courtyard area that Auggie already checked out. The second breach leads into area 12. Both of these would also require you to cross the moat somehow. The last breach, which leads into area 7, has collapsed in such a way as to provide stepping stones across the moat.

Post by Dungeon Master on Feb 9, 2009, 12:47am OOG: I know everyone hasn't posted yet but between Fish Hook, Khesfrin, and Xavion; the remaining thugs are dead or asleep. SO, in the interest of moving the game on I'm going to wrap this up. IG: Fish Hook lands another mighty blow sending the thug to the floor with a shiver. Khesfrin slices one from navel to chop and Xavion lays the remaining thug unconscious on the floor. What do you do with the sleeping people? What else do you do in this room? Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Feb 9, 2009, 4:11pm Hautra keeps a lookout at the hole. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by xavion on Feb 9, 2009, 7:12pm Xavion looks at the grim business they had before them before speaking, "Syanna, you and fish hook see if you can find something to tie up the sleeping ones. Auggie, go to the door and see if you can tell if anyone heard us or if there are any guards out there." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Feb 10, 2009, 2:21am OOC: Be sure to check the XP board after every encounter. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by syanna on Feb 10, 2009, 7:04pm Syanna nods quickly at Xavions instructions and sets about securing the sleeping ones with Fish hooks help. She is careful to make sure they wont wake up and call for help. After securing them, she waits to see what happens next.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Feb 18, 2009, 3:36pm Thellios clambers over the rubble following behind everyone else and making quite a lot of noise as he has to squeeze his large body through the gap. Looking disappointed he says, "Is the fight all over?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Feb 18, 2009, 6:00pm Hautra laughs at the half-ogre and says, "Nay.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Feb 19, 2009, 11:50am Thellios thinks to himself that Lord Erythnul wouldn't want the authorities involved too much. Besides bandits would probably just be hanged and then what's the point wasting all that time keeping them alive? Better to kill them here and now.... although it ain't good to kill people with their hands tied. That isn't right. But that's what civilized folks do.... "Wait friend, we haven't had a chance to play with them yet. Lord Erythnul would not approve. Let me show you how to rip a man's arms out of their sockets." Thellios winks at Khesfrin. The half-ogre grips his hands together to show off his muscles for the benefit of the captive. "Unless you can tell us where all your treasure is of course. Lord Erythnul will understand.

The leader says," Look, I know brains ain't the strong suit of your type but, if we had a bunch of loot do you think we would be hiding out in this old ruin."[rand=816022706043949136249444109529352883157644134445322363597959162407] Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Feb 19, 2009, 6:36pm Thellios is embarrassed, angry and shouting.

Don't call me stupid, you... you stupid!"

"

Thellios attempts to grapple the bandit leader. He tries to roughly throw him on his face on the ground while pulling his tied arms back into a painful position. If that works he'll put his foot on the man's shoulder and generally proceed with the intention of carrying out his threat to rip an arm out of joint or actually out of the socket. With both hands tied together though, this may prove more difficult but he's going to try anyway. [spoiler]Obviously events may happen to interrupt what Thellios is attempting. Anyone else want to try? Maybe get some good cop / bad cop stuff going on? Btw, I assume that Khesfrin told Thellios and Auggie about what the captured goblin said when the two groups met up? Khesfrin sad something like, "Oh have we got news for you".[/spoiler] Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Feb 19, 2009, 11:24pm Hautra goes to the half-ogre, "Hey now, no need for that. There are other means of getting information in a non-violet manner." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Feb 20, 2009, 12:42am Auggie merely shrugs at Thellios efforts to get information from the Man. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Feb 20, 2009, 7:58am Thellios allows Hautra to intervene.

He called me stupid!"

"

But not before he gives the prisoner one last hard kick. "And I'm not." "Not stupid as a bandit with no money!" Thellios looks for a corner to go and mope in. This is not easy in a small room with over a dozen people in it. He sits himself down near to the hole in the wall they all entered by. Then he gets up again, jabs his finger in the air towards the prisoner. "Not as stupid as someone who's gonna have their arms pulled out!" Clamping and unclamping his big hands, he turns round and watches through the hole in the wall for anything coming. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Feb 20, 2009, 9:19pm Hautra smiles at the prisoner and then turns to the half-ogre, "No. You're not stupid." He turns back to the prisoner and says, "He does have a point. If you want to keep your arms, I suggest you tell us the information we seek." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Feb 20, 2009, 11:15pm The prisoner, face down in the dirt says,"Mmph mumph flumph."

Khesfrin Rhola Khesfrin roughly grabs the leader by the shirt and hauls him to a sitting position again. "What was that?"

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Feb 22, 2009, 12:06am Still using a sarcastic tone the captive says," I said, apparently the guy with the thing flying around his head isn't much brighter than the Half Ogre. If I was treasure, where would I hide. the sleeping bags, no. The busted up furniture, no. Wait, I know! How bought that little pile of rubble you guys climbed in from that hole on over there?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Feb 22, 2009, 1:22am Khesfrin Rhola "Apparently you are not much smarter. Considering the position you're in, i'd think you'd be begging for mercy at the least. No sense of self preservation. Hey, Thellios. want to play?" [dice=20+7] Bluff [rand=2711757082550381917548449269071551800749406405336900973605684446] Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Feb 22, 2009, 2:18am Thellios continued to quietly keep his back to the prisoner. That way it was easy to keep up his charade of pretending to be petty, angry and vengeful. On the inside though, "Hahaha! This bandit is a brave man indeed! I admire his spirit!" Still the whole thing seemed a bit fishy. If these bandits had been attacking people they ought to have had stores of cargo, just as the bandit captain had said. When Thellios was growing up his mother had a lot of bandits coming to her to sell their goods. What an amazing array of things they brought in. One day it would be bolts of cloth, satins and silks, fine gowns and spindles with costly thread. Another day it might be chickens, pigs and cows. And anything in between (including, often enough, barrels of ale and jars of wine). "So where's his chickens and stuff?" Hard to hide crates and barrels and so on. Of course they had hardly even begun to search through the fort but why would the captain bother to lie if he knew the adventurers would find it all shortly with or without him? "Maybe it's all at the temple? With this guy's boss, the big boss? And he's more afraid of his boss than he is of me. I bet that's it." In response to the bandit captain's comment Thellios kicks in fake anger at the pile of rubble and makes an angry grunty noise as if searching it very badly. Then in reply to Khesfrin: "Ha! All done being nice then?" But what Thellios really thinks is, "I bet there's going to be a ton of fighting before the end of this. What a piece of luck!" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Feb 22, 2009, 10:37am Hautra tries not to be bothered by the guy's comment, "It's a sigil. No need to be rude." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by shdwrnnr on Feb 22, 2009, 11:10am Fish Hook spoke up. "There appears to be no further point in questioning this man. Secure him and let us find any other bandits and dispatch them. If you wish to search for treasure after that, then we will have time and the situation will be far less dangerous." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by demilich on Feb 22, 2009, 8:12pm Search we will, later. Bandits poor, I think not takes the bar off the door, if its fairly easy to do. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Feb 23, 2009, 12:28am The bar is easily removed. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Feb 23, 2009, 8:35am Seeing that Auggie is ready to open the door, Thellios moves over to the other side of it so that they are flanking the doorway. "I'm NOT going to be late for the next fight", he thinks. Thellios nods to Auggie. "Yeah, Auggie knows how to get himself in trouble. I like this one."

Once richly appointed, it has been thoroughly searched, sacked, and despoiled. Leaves and dirt cover the floor, and cobwebs hang from walls and the ceiling above. Looking up, you see that pieces of beams and chunks of stone poke through, indicating that the upper stories of the place are totally destroyed and likely to be impassable to anything larger than a rat. There are two doorways along the western wall. One along the southern. There is also a stairwell along the southern wall that used to lead up. In the southwest corner is the main entrance to the building. The door there leads back out to the courtyard Forgot to put this in

You're coming in through the door in the north east corner.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Feb 26, 2009, 2:13am It's strait out of the original Temple of Elemental evil so they would be 10' squares. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by roxxperidot on Feb 26, 2009, 8:14am If the tiny creature walking slowly in through the sundered double doors is a gnome, then it is a gnome that was probably run over by a wagon drawn by a team of angry goats. Though only his knuckles and face are visible, his brownish-gray skin is wrinkled and knobby. He seems a bit bent over, though even if he stood up straight, he would still be less than half as tall as Thellios, one would guess. The gnomish creature wears brown and gray robes, and wears a hooded pale green cloak. A pack is slung over his back and his belt seems to bear many pouches and such. A small crossbow is hanging over his left shoulder by a leather strap, so he is not totally defenseless. His right hand holds a walking stick -- knotted and crooked like him -- and he uses it to tap the floor and the crumbling door-frame of the entrance. He seems to be examining it. tap-tap-tap... "Hmph!" The creature walks a bit further into the chamber and immediately sticks a knobby finger into his nostril. He mutters seemingly to himself in a low voice, "y'can't tell me that the dish was clean! Can ye? No! I know yer a busy man, but grandma's only wearin' one shoe!" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Feb 27, 2009, 9:07am Thellios thinks, "Sounds like a wizard too". He considers his options and silently puts his greataxe down ready to run out from behind the open door sprint up to the wizard and pounce on him / it. One of Thellios' "uncles" had suggested that the best thing when fighting a wizard by themselves is to stop them talking so they can't cast their spells. Although Thellios had never had a chance to put this advice into practice it sounded like a good plan. Behind the door Thellios listens to the gnome tapping with his staff and muttering strange words. Just a little bit closer.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by roxxperidot on Feb 28, 2009, 11:53am The small, wrinkly creature shuffles across the floor towards the center of the room. He occasionally sifts through some of the junk scattered around with the butt of his staff, but seems to see little that interests him. In a few moments, he has reached the middle of the chamber.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Mar 1, 2009, 10:17am Thellios rushes out from behind the door and tries to grab/pin the gnome and put a hand over its mouth. [spoiler]If Roxx is within 30' move then attack / grapple. the to hit roll: [dice=20+5] then I think there's the possibility of an AOO vs Thellios AC of 16. However if Roxx is flat footed he gets no AOO. Assuming the AOO, if any, fails to hit the next step is a grapple check. Thellios grapple:[dice=20+5] Roxx would have a -4 for small size and a -2 for strength. If the gnome is over 30' away Thellios will close the distance. If I need an initiative its: [dice=20+1] OK... if anyone wanted to handle joining the groups some other way than having a rumble... well they haven't said anything in the last few days.... EDITED: If Roxx is considered flat footed then his AC is 11, he can't make the AOO and can't possibly match Thellios' grapple roll. If he's not flat footed then Thellios misses.

"Lets see if this one will talk!" He takes his hand away from the gnomes mouth. "No tricks now. Where's all your bandit treasure?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by roxxperidot on Mar 2, 2009, 6:12pm OOC: Thank you for the excellent explanations. Very well handled. Now let's get back to the matters at hand, shall we? BIC: Since the gnomish creature seemed rather occupied exploring the rubbish all around the room and muttering strange things to himself, he didn't seem to notice the gigantic lummox bearing down upon him until it was much too late. After some initial surprise, the creature says beneath Thellio's meaty fingers, "mrph-phf! Mg-guph mruph-feeph uph!" When the half-ogre removes his hand warily, the tiny, wrinkled fellow says, "my, you're a big ol' brute, ain't ye? An' almost as ugly as me! I'm no bandit, mister, but I can see you are one o' the fellers I been lookin' fer -- see, I spent my last copper buyin' drinks for everybody at The Welcome Wench t'try to find out where you an' yer friends gone to. Looks like I found ye. Now get off'n me, ye galloot! Ye smell like dead frogs!" Whether the half-ogre lets him up or not, he continues, "name's Roxx -- Roxx Peridot... that's pear-ee-doe! I'm a traveling conjurer comin' from yonder Kron Hills to find out what all this bandit fuss is about. The gnomes there have had some goin's on, too, an' they wanna find out if the troubles is risin' again like in the ol' times." "If'n ye wouldn't mind, I'd be likin' to join ye... if ye keep m'robes clean, I can be mighty useful. 'Specially to a big whomper like yerself!" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by melileaya on Mar 2, 2009, 9:10pm Shantillie stands at the door they enter and watches the group from behind smiling at them trying to capture the small creature. Once they capture it and it tells them its name she chuckles and joins them. " A very funny why to introduce yourselves to a creature smaller than you. He seems harmless enough," grinning widely at the gnome. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by melileaya on Mar 2, 2009, 9:12pm Mar 2, 2009, 9:10pm, melileaya wrote:

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Mar 2, 2009, 9:55pm Thellios is not inclined to be suspicious of strangers and is easily convinced by the mention of The Welcome Wench and by Shantillie's comment. At the least it seems the newcomer is not a bandit. "Haha. All in good fun, eh?" Thellios puts the gnome down on any spot not occupied by a tied up bandit. "I'm Thellios. I'm from the Shield Lands."

Khesfrin Rhola "Welcome Roxx. I'm Khesfrin. How did you know to ask about us, then?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by roxxperidot on Mar 3, 2009, 8:45am Thellios plops the small robed creature down on the floor, and he dusts off his robes a bit before saying to Shantillie in the gnomish tongue, "I assure you, that I am not harmless! I am a great wizard -- or will be, soon enough." Then he begins talking in the common speech once more. "This walking wall, Thellios, here, was wise to incapacitate me quickly!" As some of the companions introduce themselves, he nods and offers his greetings, but in a very terse manner with a seemingly permanent scowl etched on his face. As Khesfrin asks his question, the tiny wizard turns to him and says, "a good question, Khesfrin, yep... all the best answers come from good questions. Suffice it to say, that you cannot expect a crew such as this," he waves his hand towards Thellios, Fish Hook and the centauress, "to avoid notice! Luckily for all of you, that notice, s'far as I knows it, has come from friends among the gnomes of the Kron Hills. I don't suspect it'll stay that way fer long, if the trouble's on its way back again." He begins to shuffle around the room again, tapping his staff on rocks here and there (and even taking a few moments to look the metallic Fish Hook over with a crotchety sort of wonderment on his withered face). "Now let's not waste any more time, I say. What is the situation as all u'you see it? Are these raggedy mongrels," he turns a squinty eye to the bandit chief, "and those unfortunate amphibians outside, the extent of the problems you have faced s'far? Have you learned anything of the brigands' organization or leadership?" He continues to wander around as he talks. One cannot be sure if he is addressing the group, or just mumbling to himself. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by melileaya on Mar 3, 2009, 9:34am OOC: Shantillie is a Centaur. Shantillie bows with zest at the small gnome, " I am Shantillie Pansong and my pipes are my best friend. So what brings you to our little space in the world?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by roxxperidot on Mar 3, 2009, 10:00am Roxx bows honorably in return to Shantillie, but still with the immovable grumpy look on his face. "My journey has been a long one, forest-lady, but no doubt we all are a long way from home. I come 'ere on behalf of my adopted kinsmen, the gnomes of the Kron Hills, to investigate the alarmin' goin's on hereabouts. But, my journey gettin' here in'it important now... it's wheres we's goin' from here!" He sits himself down on a pile of rock, and looks up at the rest of the group. "So what have ye learnt so far? These bandits give you any useful information?" OOC: Thank you, Shantillie. Well met. We're in Room #7 now, correct? Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Mar 3, 2009, 11:58am [spoiler]Room 7, yes. Isn't Shantillie is a SATYR not a Centaur?

leader said, "I had a couple boys standin' guard out in the courtyard" but then went on to say those guards had come into room 7 when they saw Auggie scouting. Thellios seemed to miss that part. [/spoiler] Thellios says, "This lot aren't talking but we caught one before that did, back at Hommlett. Khesfrin was there. He got lots of good stuff. Sounds like its going to be a big fight!" Thellios picks up his greataxe again. He'll go over to the opening in the wall again and keep an eye out over the marshy land and the moat leading to the breach in the wall the party came through. While he's there he'll look for a nice sized stone for throwing. Something about half the size of his large hand and fairly smooth. And then as an after thought, pointing at the bandit leader, he adds, "Hey! This one said something about some more guards in the courtyard --- did you see any?" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Mar 3, 2009, 11:28pm If your sittin' on rubble looking at tied up brigands, your in room 7.

I thought Shantillie was a Satyr too.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Mar 4, 2009, 9:55am What Roxx sees as Hautra approaches him, he sees a humanoid clad in chainshirt and carries a shied in his off-hand. He sees an orb orbiting his head. Hautra turns to the sytr? and smiles saying in gmonish, "Precisely. Eh, maybe." He turns back to Roxx and speaks in gnomish, "Well met, my name is Hautra. I studied in the arcane arts and learnt the way of the sword and the shield. I have come to test my skills and knowledge." He then goes to the half-ogre, and looks outside with him, "I don't remember. Let's ask Auggie."

She is a Satyr sorry about that.... Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Mar 4, 2009, 1:01pm If the gnome didn't see any other guards they must have run away, thinks Thellios, "the courtyard must be clear." Suddenly it seemed like everyone was talking in gnomish. "I wish you lot would quit jibbering away like that", says Thellios, perhaps a little annoyed sounding, although he seems in good humor, so its hard to tell if he's really upset or not. "Enough talk. Come on; let's check out the rest of this place. Before any more bad guys slip away." Saying this he makes up his mind and walks back out through door this time making no attempt to be quiet. To his right the fort seems to be less damaged than to the left. There are two doorways on the right and Thellios has a look at the first while waiting for Auggie, Hautra, Khesfrin or Fish-hook to catch up. [spoiler]ie the NW doorway in room 6. Thellios has darkvision 60' Do we need a new marching order? Do we need a new caller?[/spoiler] Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Mar 4, 2009, 1:29pm A new marching order would be good, since we have new members.

"I can travel in the middle of the bunch o'ye if'n you don't trust me yet -- can't say I rightfully trust all o'you yet! But then you can keep an eye on me and I can cast my magic conjurations from behind the front rank. How's that sound to you? If ye kin gimmie a little space between, I can do what I do right between ye!" Roxx appears ready to proceed onward and explore. He looks a bit concerned about the bound captive(s), however. "They might be a liability down the road." Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Mar 5, 2009, 8:50am Hautra catchs up with the rest and adjusts his shield in his off-hand. If the half-ogre opens the door and it is pitch black, Hautra will gets out one of his torches and lit it up, therefore stepping in the room behind the half-ogre. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Mar 5, 2009, 9:37am [spoiler]Not sure if the doorway in the NW of room 6 is a door or just an open space nor if it leads to a room or a corridor...

Activates: Dragon Aura Toughness Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by roxxperidot on Mar 5, 2009, 2:02pm As the half-ogre and Hautra move through the doorway back out into the larger chamber beyond, Roxx says in a low voice (but loud enough for the party to hear), "now, listen, let's get in some sort of organized pattern! Shantillie, you keep careful watch in back with your keen forest-senses... Fish Hook -- whatever you are -- move up ahead. Next to Hautra there, that's it. Hey, big guy! Where you goin'? You're walkin' with me... we fuglies hav'ta stick together! Khesfrin, Auggie... fall in behind us, and Syanna, you an' Xavion are behind them! Okay, now we're ready!" The group files out through the doorway in something that resembles a formation. The gnome suggests that the group hug one wall -- the right-hand, let's say -- and continue along that wall exploring as they go. As the group moves forward, Roxx continues to be fascinated by the stoney structure of this place, even though it is falling apart.

Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by roxxperidot on Mar 6, 2009, 8:10am If all seems quiet down the steps... Listen check: [dice=20+2] ...then Roxx will whisper to the group, "enemies could potentially come at us from below. I don't like leavin' this at our backs, but per'aps we can leave a sentry 'r two here. But if there aren't any volunteers, I say we keep goin' along the right-hand wall, and investigate that passageway leading west." Then Roxx will accompany the group (minus any willing rear-guards) out of the tiny alcove with the steps and towards the western corridor leading out of the huge chamber. OOC: If I do hear something down the steps (or notice anything unusual about the stonework), then that is a different thing altogether... Also, how is lighting?

The lighting is beginning to fail as the sun is now setting. In the shadow in front of you on the stairs you can make out several sets of beady Red eyes. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by roxxperidot on Mar 6, 2009, 12:54pm OOC: I agree whole-heartedly that we can should leave Syanna & Xavion back with the bandit(s). And, if they stay near the door, they can see/hear where the rest of us are much better as we explore. They can hook back up with us in no time should they return. Good call, T. IC: Roxx backs away from the glaring red eyes and in a hushed voice, points them out to the others (in case they don't notice). "Fishy, you an' Hautra keep an' eye on those buggers... Xavion, Syanna... I don't like how those captives o' ours are left all to their lonesome. How 'bout you two hike back to the other room an' keep 'em company? One o' you can keep a look-out through the door as the rest of us have a lookee-see around." The tiny wizard turns his attention back to the steps and the shadowy creatures perched there. He slowly eases his hand into one of his pouches. "Let's back out fer now, if'n they let us... we'll deal with'em soon enough..." Roxx tries to pull the group back out into the open chamber but makes sure Fish Hook & Hautra watch the party's back and the eyes on the stairs. The gnome gets a few pinches of colored sand ready just in case the creatures spring from the alcove. The party slowly tries to move towards the western corridor. OOC: My bossiness is a part of my 4 Charisma... I'm not like that in real life. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Mar 6, 2009, 4:15pm

Thellios' own eyes are also red. He peers through the darkness and shrugs. "Just some animals." Must be disturbing some little critters' home., he thinks following the others back into the large hall (room 6). Just in case the critters are thinking of following the party Thellios will try to get them to back down with a technique that often works with animals in his experience. Thellios pulls himself up to his full height waving the greataxe threateningly and bellows back into the room.

"Grrrrr....."

upgrade is over. I have two questions for the party. Does everyone have a hardcopy of their character or have it backed up on their comp. If you do, I have a code that I can put into a particular board, preferably a new one or a subboard of the characters board that will produce a form when you click the button for a new thread. This code can be edited, of course, to make a character sheet. It won't be a pretty character sheet because the code will do one entry per line for example. Name: Jaroo Ashstaff Race: Human Class: Druid Level: ? Alignment: Neutral That is an example of what it would look like. but I think it is good enough for a back up. Thoughts, Opinions. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Mar 15, 2009, 12:28am [spoiler]Thellios and Khesfrin are not on Myth Weavers. As for melee stuff a lot of it is in the die rolls from the frog fight (to hit rolls and damage rolls). Fish-hook is d20+4 and 1d10+4 damage. http://david090366.proboards56.com/index....hread=8&page=27 By the time we need more data the Myth Weavers may be back up. If you want a back-up character sheet data maybe it would be easiest to use another site like the tangled web. [/spoiler] Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Mar 15, 2009, 8:12pm (OOC) Yeah, I have two backups. One on paper and the other on my PDA/phone. So, I'm good. I'd suggest to do the same as I do or at least a paper copy. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Mar 15, 2009, 10:24pm Khesfrin is on Myth-Weavers i print out a copy once i've typed in my character so i have a ready reference with me. I think i have a copy on tangled web as well Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Mar 15, 2009, 10:25pm I stated my action back on Mar 7th.

Fish Hook, your up OOG:The main things I'm mainly worried about, from my end, are ACs and fort saves for this encounter Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by roxxperidot on Mar 16, 2009, 8:23am OOC: I don't have a back up of my sheet, but I can get one established when I next get the chance. Many of my most often used stats are in my signature line. Yes, I'm using total defense, making my AC 22 (so long as I'm not flat-footed). IC: Roxx recoils away from the onslaught of the incisor-wielding vermin. He keeps his staff out in front of him to be sure the attackers stay at a safe distance as he considers his next move. The withered, bent, old gnome seems to dart around pretty quickly for somebody of his size and apparent age. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Mar 18, 2009, 10:39pm Fish Hook is off on vacation so I'm posting an action for him to move things along. Fish Hook takes a swipe at one of the rats with his Bastard Sword to hit.

The rats swarm around the group nipping and clawing wherever they get a chance. One tries to attack Roxx [dice=20+4] One attacks Khesfrin [dice=20+4] Two attack Fish Hook [dice=20+4] [dice=20+4] Two attack Auggie [dice=20+4][dice=20+4] One attacks Thellios [dice=20+4] Two attack Hautra [dice=20+4][dice=20+4] Two attack Shantillie [dice=20+4][dice=20+4] Roxx easily parries the one attacking him off with his staff, the one attacking Khesfrin also misses. The two attacking Fish Hook are unable to penatrate the War Forged's thick armor. One of the rats manages to get a viscious bite in on Auggie doing [dice=4] -1 for Khesfrin's aura damage, I will also need a fort save from Auggie. One also hits Thellios doing [dice=4] -1 damage, will also need a fort save from Thellios. Neither of the rats attacking Hautra manages to get through his defenses. One of the rats attacking Shantillie hits her doing [dice=4] -1 damage, I will also need a fort save from Shantillie. Auggie it is your attack.[rand=01469294137611609882935060820352790670753578020032423409161064039952] Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Mar 18, 2009, 11:26pm Thellios (11/11)(DR 1/magic from Khesfrin's aura) [spoiler]I believe when the damage is reduced to zero by the Dragon Shaman aura then no "carried effects" are suffered hence no need for Thallios to save. Here's the rule: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#damageReduction Quote:

Whenever damage reduction completely negates the damage from an attack, it also negates most special effects that accompany the attack, such as injury type poison, a monk’s stunning, and injury type disease. Damage reduction does not negate touch attacks, energy damage

As DM I post first with the description of and initiative of the monster and then tell the PCs to roll their initiatives and if they beat or equal the monster they also get a bonus action. Then after everyone's rolled initiative and taken that possible first action the monsters have a go and then its all PCs / monsters / all PCs alternately. If the monsters have surprise I don't bother with initiative and just start with the monsters action and start alternating all PCs / monsters / all PCs. [/spoiler] Thellios glances down at Roxx who is hopping about like a little wrinkled jumping bean instead of hitting his rat. "That looks like a fair fight for such a little guy, if he quit dancing about like that." "Hey! What you trying to blame me for?" "Hmph. He talks too much in a fight."

Not for long. [spoiler]There were six rats left, attacking the following PCs: Roxx - one Fish Hook - two Auggie - one Thellios - one Shantille - one Since Hautra had none attacking him he would have hit a rat attacking someone else -- if you want to specify. Shantillie is almost "immune" to rats because of her DR 5/cold iron and Roxx and Fish Hook have AC over 20. Roxx only has 6 hp, whereas Fish Hook has issues healing any daamge he does take because he's warforged. Auggie is the most vulnerable; 8 hp at the start of this fight I think but has taken 4 hp damage from rats so far. OTOH if Auggie does lose more health he can be healed for free up to his present state of half damage just by Khesfrin switching his aura over to his half-hp-heal aura after the fight ends and I believe that would work even if poor Auggie was taken to below 0 hp (ie unconscious) although that seems very unlikely to happen before the last rat is killed. So anyway there are 5 left assuming Hautra just killed one.

Thellios is secretly happy the knight didn't manage to get one more kill this battle. Now what's my kill score today? Three rats and ... those darn frogs got the best of me.

Hardly any of it is. The stuff in the red-brown colour is said out loud, the stuff in white italics and bold is what he's thinking and the rest is narration about how he might be acting or whatever. I like to write a lot of stuff but the character is a sort of "strong and silent" type so this is my compromise. Thellios is small minded enough to keep score, yes, but he's not small minded enough to tell everybody that he's keeping score. I mean he really lives for this stuff and Hautra is beating him at his own game.

The last rat, wounded and seeing his packmates dead all around him, takes off for greener pastures Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Apr 5, 2009, 4:58pm Thellios looks around and listens for sign that the fight might have drawn the attention of other creatures. Spot=[dice=20] Listen=[dice=20+4] Of the six exits from the big hallway most are accounted for. The door back to the room where Xavier and Shannon are guarding the bandit prisoners [7], the way out into the courtyard that Roxx just came by [5], the way to the rats room and the stairs down, a bust set of stairs in the SE might possibly lead somewhere, but only with the greatest difficulty. Basically its down to two corridors one leading West and the other South. Thellios stands guard at the entrance to the corridor that leads West and waits for someone else to take charge. His eyes can see clearly about 60 feet into the darkness.

"Ahem! That went well, I'd say. Wasn't altogether necessary," he glares at Thellios, "but we were successful. Everybody in one piece, eh?" As the group begins to resume their explorations of the moathouse ruins, the gnome quietly goes up to the half-ogre and jabs him in the leg with his staff, "hey, knot-head! Thanks for the assist back there... but let me tell ye -- try that bellowing number again, and ye better hope owlbears or hell hounds don't rush out instead! Try t'keep that meat-hole shut unless we need it!" After that the crotchety, wrinkled gnome continues examining the stonework of the westward corridor...

Hmmm. Maybe next time I should just go with the silent stare-down, he thinks to himself. "Oh well. At least we know the rest of the monsters are either cowards or deaf!" Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Apr 6, 2009, 6:20pm Hautra applies Aid Another action on Thellios on his Spot and Listen checks.

Hautra takes up the rear of the party for now until Theollis is ready to go in and he'll go in after him with shield at the ready always. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Apr 9, 2009, 12:21pm Thellios hears nothing in the room. Inspection of the doorway also reveals nothing unusual. The door is unlocked. Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Apr 9, 2009, 12:52pm Khesfrin Rhola "Just a minute. I'll take a quick boo around the corner, just to make sure nothing's ready to come at us from behind." Khesfrin will move to the corner, peak around the corner, and if he sees nothing, step out for a better view past 8&9. Then he returns to the group Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by david on Apr 9, 2009, 2:34pm Thellios is about to boot the door open when Khesfrin stops him. As the Suel dragon shaman goes off to check on something Thellios glances around as usual, keeping a look out. He sees the door to the bandits room is still open, thinking, "The druidess and that Pelor priest would shout out if there was danger. I guess its good to keep the healers at the back where its safe." To Auggie: "Hey maybe the priests could help with that wound." [spoiler]Not sure if we can use Xavion / Syanna while they are effectively NPCs. We have no active PC healers. Xavion used up a CLW on Thellios and another on Syanna after the frog fight. I suppose that's it for him although I don't know what his domains were. Syanna doesn't have her spells recorded; she might have taken a CLW. Between the two they ought to have some 1hp Cure Minor Wounds spells - at least 3. I actually like the idea of using the dragon shaman heal aura but its dangerous exploring while on half hps. Of course as Thellios would say, "I like the danger."[/spoiler] Re: The Village of Hommlet Post by Dungeon Master on Apr 9, 2009, 10:54pm Khesfrin, make spot and listen checks

Thellios thinks about stories he's heard of adventurers finding treasures cunningly hidden in statues and furniture or secret compartments in the floor or walls. Nothing about stuffed trophies comes to mind. "Hmph. Hissing huh?" Thellios walks back to the main hall where the dead rats are. Keeping an eye out to the South he grabs hold of a small one with a view to being able to throw it a good thirty or forty feet. Assuming he is not interrupted he will then walk South to the head of the corridor where Khesfrin heard something. He stops there waiting for the others and listening and watching.

Then a monstrously sized snake comes slithering out of the room, Thellios would swear it is every bit of 20' long. It stops, eyes the rat, then Thellios, then looks as if it has decide which one would make the better meal.
