DM says, "Good afternoon"
[tomb] PerrySimm says, "Log on."
[tomb] Rob asks, "what, already?"
[tomb] Eolo says, "no, not for five minutes"
Rob_2 has arrived.
Grog has arrived.
Ebezar has arrived.
G2 has arrived.
DM says, "Whoa who are all these people"
[tomb] Gunther says, "my god, I remembered the name of the room trigger"
Ebezar says, "I have been looking into the future"
nothings has arrived.
Ebezar says, "and I have seen HORRORS"
Clem has arrived.
Clem says, "Evening all."
[Crows-Nest] Rob_2 asks, "the room is full, but where are the actual players?"
DM says, "OK, so we have everyone but Crumbli"
[Crows-Nest] G2 says, "pre-empted"
DM says, "Let me recap everyone's hit points as I have them"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "ha ha"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "the "when we last left our heroes" bit at the beginning of a tomb of horrors tv show should show a montage of how they lost hit points last time"
DM says, "Clem 62/68, Crumbli 39/42, Ebezar 71/61+10, Finn 72/75, Grog 67/70, Kong 56/58, Paulie 48/48, Rosie 68/68"
Clem says, "Hmm, I have 63 on my sheet."
Clem says, "But okay, let's say 62."
DM says, "I have 63 crossed out and then a 62"
DM says, "Maybe you missed one of the times you fell on your shiny metal ass"
Clem says, "There sure were a lot of those."
[Crows-Nest] Rob_2 says, "ha ha"
DM says, "Anyway, all your barkskins and such have long worn off"
DM says, "I probably should have kept a little better track of what spells you all used, but we can figure it out if we have to"
[Crows-Nest] nothings says, "Paulie and Rosie sitting in a tree, ending both their names with i then e"
[Crows-Nest] Rosie asks, "Except after C?"
DM says, "I think Rosie brought the map up to date"
DM says, "Yeah: http://strackenz.spod-central.org/~lpsmith/rpg/transcripts/tomb/Tomb.png"
Clem says, "I don't have Spiritual Weapon crossed off my sheet."
[Crows-Nest] nothings says, "also, I'm going to try to remember this time to stick to here, not #tomb"
Clem says, "But I guess we just fought the snakes, then that Ooze."
Clem says, "And I was too busy being gobbled up in the latter to cast any spells."
DM says (to Ebezar), "It's still the same day as lest session, so you have the spells you left for last time"
Finn asks, "Fellow tombers -- is there some reason we're not resting & regrouping right now?"
[tomb] Clem asks, "Who's playing Ebezar?"
[tomb] DM says, "Sargent is back"
[tomb] Clem says, "Aha."
Clem asks, "What, again?"
[tomb] DM says, "in a surprise return, reprising his famous role"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "FIREBALL"
baf has arrived.
Clem says, "If we keep vanquishing one room then camping out, wandering monsters will start squatting in the ruins before we're finished."
[tomb] DM says, "Awright"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "also, I'll scan through and make sure my spell list is correct"
[tomb] DM says (to Crumbli), "I was just recapping, nothing's happened yet"
Crumbly says, "Arr"
Rosie says, "If we want to rest and regroup, I suggest we first finish off the last corridor, and the other door in the ooze room. For surely Acerack is down yon staircase."
Rosie says, "If nothing else, it's where Crumbly's pants are."
DM says, "Anyway, you're all at the top of yon staircase"
DM says, "Oh, I guess you started descending it as we faded out last time"
[Crows-Nest] Clem says, "It's a shame we're a party of low-charisma munchkins."
[Crows-Nest] Clem says, "So it's not worth turning anyone else female."
Rosie says, "Also, I bet that if we manage to defeat him, it'll trigger a *real* dungeon collapse."
DM says, "So the stairs descend 20 feet laterally, like they all do, to the east, and then the corridor stretches out further to the east"
Clem asks (of Rosie), "I'll take that bet -- 10gp?"
Rosie says, "Done."
Clem says, "If we all die horribly, no bet."
Rosie says, "Agreed."
Clem says, "Unless we die horribly in a dungeon collapse."
[tomb] DM says, "If you all die horribly, I get 10gp from both of you"
Clem assumes Crumbli is leading as usual.
Rosie says, "Right, I'm coming after you in my afterlife, buddy."
DM says, "So, here you are"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "so what I'm seeing is a baleful polymorph spell and false life spell down"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "plus a potion of levitation"
Crumbly says, "Let us venture forward."
[tomb] DM says, "That sounds plausible"
[tomb] Ebezar scritch scritch scritch.
Rosie says, "No rest and regroup? Okeedokie."
Paulie says, "Onward to danger and excitement."
Ebezar says, "I am fine with proceeding forward"
Clem says, "We're rested and grouped!"
[tomb] DM says, "Oh yeah, someone tried to polymorph the gelatinous cube with Clem inside just to see what would happen"
Grog says, "Not tired yet."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "that would be me"
Finn says, "Me too, know that I'm appraised of the situation."
Crumbly says, "Well, if you want tor est, I'm fine with that. I'm no the one who needs to regain spells."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "or the me-possessed-by-crumbly"
[tomb] (from Clem) Clem says (to DM), "What does this note you just passed me mean? 'It worked, plz roleplay'."
[tomb] Crumbly says, "Yeah, that was me controlling Ebezar."
Clem asks, "Are we going to stand around debating, or are we going to hunt some trap?"
Rosie says, "Onward, McGurk."
[tomb] Paulie says, "I thought we were already in motion."
DM says, "All righty, Crumbli proceeds cautiously down the corridor"
[tomb] Clem says, "Well, you have those little legs and I have this armour."
Crumbly exclaims, "OK!"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Like, we faded out in while moving last time."
[tomb] Rosie says, "Now's a good time to remind people to do random emotes to make sure we know everyone's on board with the current plan."
DM says, "After 40 feet of which there is a four-way intersection"
[tomb] DM says (to Rosie), "Right, thanks"
Crumbly says, "Let's split up."
Crumbly says, "Ha ha, tha was a joke."
Paulie asks, "Does the pants sense say left or right?"
Clem says, "I lost my pants sense."
Rosie says, "According to the map, the pants should be north, I think."
Paulie says (to Crumbli), "Will your pants even still fit you at this point, I wonder."
Clem says, "But yeah, that sounds right."
Crumbly says, "Noth it is, then."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "what's driving her is more the *ideal* of the pants now"
[tomb] Rosie asks (of DM), "mapping question--does the 40' include the intersection?"
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says, "Many a woman has gone on a quest for the Idea Pants."
Clem says, "Maybe if we wave the pants around in that mist for a while they'll retailor themselves."
DM says, "As Crumbly steps into the intersection, suddenly she has to make a Reflex save!"
[tomb] DM says, "Nope"
[tomb] Rosie nods.
DM says, "against a trap, so add whatever"
[tomb] Finn says, "Oh noes"
Clem says, "!"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "That is unexpected."
Paulie says (to Clem), "They could be tossed through that foggy archway with a rope tied to them."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "except in an expected way"
[tomb] * nothing_else has joined the channel.
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says, "Although then when we pull them back they might have the wrong alignment."
[Crows-Nest] * nothing_else has joined the channel.
Crumbly rolls 1d20+13: 8+13 | 21
nothing_else has arrived.
Crumbly says, "Assuming it's a trap there"
nothings goes home.
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "aie evil pants"
Crumbly says, "If it's not a trap, 19."
[Crows-Nest] Rosie says, "Evil and pale green."
DM says, "A giant pit opens up beneath Crumbli!"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "perhaps they'll come back as a pantsuit"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, ""wait, these are bell-bottoms!""
Rosie hollers "Boots!"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "WHo had the boots last?"
DM says, "but she manages to leap to safety on the other side"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "booty call"
DM says, "which is actually the east side, I guess"
[tomb] Crumbly says, "I think I still have them."
DM says, "just as the yawning chasm appears beneath her"
Clem says, "Okay, now we can split up."
[Crows-Nest] Rosie says, "Yeah."
Crumbly says, "I flutter gently to the north side."
Paulie yawns.
Crumbly asks, "Anyone else want to use the boots to cross this?"
Paulie says, "Sorry. It's contagious."
Rosie asks, "You want to look down there for anything?"
DM says, "So now the entire 10x10 intersection is filled by a pit that is deeper than you can see"
Paulie says (to Crumbly), "We could do like we did with the last pit we had to cross."
[tomb] DM says, "Damn, I forgot Crumbli had the boots"
Ebezar says, "Perhaps this goes all the way down to Acerak"
Ebezar says, "We could drop Crumbli down it and see."
[tomb] Clem says, "It's almost like we're prepared."
[Crows-Nest] (from Finn) Finn says, "Hey, I can just push Kong in so he can take a look around."
[tomb] Clem says, "For anything except nudity and femininity."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Ha ha"
Paulie asks (of Ebezar), "I forget; would that mean that we do or we don't want to see what's under it?"
[tomb] Crumbly says, "It's not like I had them activated."
[tomb] Crumbly says, "I think we can assume that I'm walking unless explicitly stated otherwise."
Rosie asks, "Yeah, didn't the runes say "Two pits along the way lead to a fortuitous fall, so check the wall"?"
[tomb] DM says, "True"
Crumbly says, "tomb In a way, I *want* to trigger these traps."
Ebezar says, "An interesting point."
Rosie says, "And I believe so far there's only been one fortuitous one."
Paulie asks, "Did it involve checking a wall?"
Ebezar says, "inasmuch as any fall can be considered fortuitous"
Rosie says (to Paulie), "Yes."
Crumbly says, "We've seen one pit with a secrest door at the bottom."
Rosie says, "Well, there were two doors in pit walls so far, but the first was a one-way door out of the trap area."
Paulie says, "Oh, right. The placeholder lich."
Clem says, "Well, I vote for somebody not wearing full plate going down there and searching."
[tomb] Finn says, "Our thiefy type should jigger the trapdoors so they can't close again, if we send someone in."
Crumbly says, "I float gently down the pit."
Crumbly says, "Assuming I still have the glowy chalk from last time."
DM says, "You float down for a hundred feet, and reach the bottom"
[tomb] Crumbly says, "A Disable Device check for a pit trap generally springs it."
DM says, "which is nondescript"
[tomb] Clem says, "A hundred feet deep? Man."
Crumbly says, "Search the walls, taking ten for 26."
DM says, "You find nothing special about the walls"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "at high levels pits have to be deep to be any kind of threat"
[tomb] Clem says, "A levitating rogue is a handy thing to have."
[Crows-Nest] Clem asks, "Heh, seriously?"
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says, "Or spiky."
Crumbly says, "OK, I come back up."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "well, they're 1d6 damage per 10 feet"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "and you presumably get a reflex save to avoid all damage"
Paulie asks, "How's it look down there?"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "plus then you just shove your monk in and let her fall"
[Crows-Nest] nothing_else exclaims, "but at high levels, deep pits will just lead to lower levels!"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Awww -- if someone fell in /this/ pit, the Wilhelm scream would have been perfect."
Crumbly says, "Boring."
[Crows-Nest] Rosie exclaims, "Hey!"
Rosie says, "Oh, well."
Crumbly exclaims, "Let's go north!"
Rosie asks, "Anything partway down, maybe?"
Crumbly asks, "The pit's 100 feet deep. How long do you want to spend searching it?"
Clem says, "North works for me."
Rosie says, "OK, we can come back if we turn up nothing but dead ends."
DM asks, "How are the rest of you getting around the pit?"
DM asks, "Or is Crumbli going on ahead alone first?"
Paulie asks, "Should we pass the boots via rope?"
Clem tries to figure out if he could hop across at the corners.
Crumbly asks, "Can they just step around the corner or is it shaped wrong for that?"
Finn says, "Surely we could toss a boot ten feet."
Rosie asks, "It's a five-foot jump. Can't you guys get across?"
DM says, "You can step around the corner OK, yeah"
Paulie glares at Rosie.
DM says, "Even Clem"
[tomb] Clem says, "We can toss the boots ten feet about 20 times."
Ebezar says (to Clem), "If you should fall, at least we will be able to hear you doing so."
[tomb] Clem says, "Until somebody rolls a 1."
Crumbly says, "Jumping would be a DC 5 Jump check, which you could take a ten on."
Rosie says, "Floating Crumbli can hold your hand if you like."
Crumbly says, "I guess there's an armor check penalty, though."
Finn says, "Awwww."
DM says (to Crumbly), "I think you need a running start or there's a penalty, though"
DM says, "But yeah, you can all just hop across"
Crumbly says, "Ah, right."
Clem says (to Ebezar), "As will G'taar's deaf twin Heddb'angar."
Finn runs, jumps, gets down, gets funky. Kong too.
Paulie says, "North, then."
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says (to Clem), "ha ha ha"
DM says, "Righto, you all hop over the nasty pit"
Clem asks, "So, north?"
Crumbly says, "For what it's worth, I don't think I could hold you if you slipped, but if holding my hand makes you feel better, go ahead."
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "There's a great prestige class called G'taar Hero."
DM says, "50 feet to the north, the corridor ends in a door"
Crumbly says, "Just don't get any ideas."
Crumbly says, "Door! I do my door routine."
[Crows-Nest] Clem says, "Yay."
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "ha more"
Crumbly says, "Search it, taking a ten for 16"
DM says, "You discover a door"
Crumbly says, "Then listen at it"
DM says, "You hear nothing special"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "For 16?"
[tomb] DM says, "26"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "the last utterance of G'taar left him with tinnitis"
Crumbly says, "Yeah, taking ten on thel isten check."
Clem says, "Just 40 really boring orcs."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "nothing except EAR SEEKERS"
[Crows-Nest] Clem says, "Ha ha ha."
Crumbly says, "And yeah, I meant 26 when I said 16 before."
Paulie asks, "Do you hear... gargoyles?"
Clem asks, "Well, shall we try it?"
Rosie says, "I suppose there could still be a hydra down here."
Clem says, "Oh goody."
Rosie says, "But yeah, go for it."
Crumbly says, "Stand back, guys"
Crumbly opens the door
Clem activate his flaming sword.
Ebezar stands back.
DM says, "Oh, so your marching order is still, I assume:"
DM says, "Crumbly, Grog / Finn, Kong / Paulie, Ebezar / Clem, Rosie"
Rosie says, "Yup."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "It's always good when the GM asks for your marching order after opening a door"
[tomb] Finn says, "Now he'll ask Crumbly how many hit points he has left."
DM says, "The door opens onto a blank wall"
Finn says, "Oh well; let's go home..."
[tomb] (from Clem) DM says, "Clem and Rosie, what are you wearing on your lower bodies?"
Crumbli says, "OK, I search the wall, taking ten for 26."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says (to Finn), "hee hee"
DM says, "but Crumbli, with her keen elf-eyes, immediately notices the tell-tale signs of a secret door in it!"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Behind one of these blank wall doors should be a wall of soup cans."
Ebezar says, "Goodness, a door behind a door."
Clem says, "Okay, now Acererak is running out of ideas."
Ebezar says, "Hopefully not ad infinitum."
Finn says, "The evil cleverness of Ace knows no bounds."
Clem says, "The secret door at the top of the stairs was cunning, but this is just lame."
DM says, "(actually she got that with the automatic elf check)"
Crumbli says, "Yay"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Good thing we didn't go with the standard elf. This automatic one is a lot easier."
Crumbli says, "OK, if I got that with the elf check, I haven't searched the wall yet. I do so."
Crumbli says, "Looking for traps here. Taking ten."
[Crows-Nest] Finn asks, "(probably belated) What's with Crumbli's name change?"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "he turned female"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "also lawful neutral"
DM says, "You find no traps"
Crumbli opens it!
[Crows-Nest] Finn asks, "Oh. Another archway-jumping side-effect?"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "and the -i ending traditionally symbolizes a lawful character"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "right"
[Crows-Nest] Clem says, "This was a room of magical womanly gas."
DM says, "The corridor continues to the north beyond the door"
[Crows-Nest] DM says (to Eolo), "Ha ha"
Crumbli says, "Let's go on."
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "At least he wasn't a barbarian or a bard. That would piss one right off."
Clem says, "Sure thing."
Crumbli walk walk
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says (to Clem), "I cannot craft any response to that, as hard as I just tried."
[Crows-Nest] Clem says, "Nothing wrong with a barbarellaian."
[Crows-Nest] josh_g says, "oh, I don't know, I hear bards are okay with that sort of thing - oh, you mean the alignment change"
[Crows-Nest] Clem says, "Heh."
DM says, "As you proceed down the corridor, you notice (1) after 50 feet, it turns into stairs going up; (2) just before the stairs, there are wide double doors on the right"
[tomb] Finn says (to Crumbli), "Actually, I can cast Atonement, if you have the desire to no longer be Lawful Neutral."
Paulie says, "I suppose we're interested in the doors."
Crumbli says, "I think so."
Ebezar says, "I certainly am."
Crumbli says, "I search the doors, taking ten."
[tomb] Clem says, "No, hang on, that might turn her male again."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "I think his being turned lawful good *is* in atonement for something"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says (to Clem), "I meant the alignment change part."
[tomb] Clem says, "Er, I mean, not that that would be bad."
Paulie says, "Well, there are only two, so we'll have to figure out some way to divide them up fairly."
[Crows-Nest] josh_g asks, "ok, which way to the tomb room again?"
Clem asks (of Paulie), "Like with an axe?"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "'dtt'"
josh_g has arrived.
[Crows-Nest] josh_g says, "thanks"
DM says, "Crumbli notices the doors are kind of interesting"
Crumbli says, "Huh. What interesting doors."
Finn says, "Double doors. Classy."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "but then she's always been an avid door collector, ever since the days of the ZX-350 Knob"
DM says, "in that they could open either way, like saloon doors"
[tomb] Paulie says (to Clem), "I never knew Clem swung that way."
[tomb] Clem says, "Well, okay, it would be bad!"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "It's almost plausible that a higher-level rogue /would/ be a door collector."
Rosie says, "Huh."
Crumbli says, "Hm. This is probably a trick of some sort."
[tomb] Clem says, "Or rather, whatever the hell I can say here that my deity wouldn't disapprove of."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "there's probably a trendy clothes shop up ahead"
[tomb] Finn is afk for about 10.
Crumbli asks, "Do we have any clues that might pertain to this?"
Clem asks, "How about tying a rope to the handle and pulling them open from a distance?"
Ebezar says, "I believe this allows for both coming and going."
[Crows-Nest] Paulie asks, "I can't remember; *is* Crumbli wearing Clem's borrowed pants, or just the mini-cloak?"
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says, "It's important to have the correct mental image here."
[tomb] Clem says, "If it's a saloon, we could just send Grog in."
Paulie asks, "Any sort of traps?"
DM says (to Clem), "It would be a little tough to get much distance, since you'd be tugging the rope from the wrong direction if you did it from further down the corridor"
[tomb] Clem says, "The a few seconds later a pummelled hydra will fly through the doors."
[tomb] Paulie says, "I don't think Grog could disapprove of that plan."
Paulie asks, "Is there a handle, or do they swing?"
DM says, "Both"
Crumbli says, "OK, I'm going to try something. Stand back."
[tomb] DM says, "They swing both ways, just like Clem"
Paulie stands back. So does Grog.
Crumbli pulls the right door outward into the corridor
Rosie is already back.
Crumbli says, "If nothing untoward results, I peer through."
DM says, "OK, beyond the doors is a thirty foot corridor, at the east end of which are another set of double doors in the north wall just like the ones you just opened"
DM says, "Also, everyone make a Fortitude save"
Clem rolls 1d20+8 for fort: 20+8 | 28
[tomb] Clem says, "Aw yeah."
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for fort: 16+13 | 29
[tomb] Clem says, "Aww bah."
Ebezar rolls 1d20+12: 17+12 | 29
[tomb] Clem says, "Hey!"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "even the wizard spanks your puny fortitude roll"
Crumbli rolls 1d20+3: 13+3 | 16
Crumbli says, "Or 18 if it's a trap."
[tomb] Clem says, "Well, at least I beat the rogue."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "from behind his cloak of resistance and amulet of health"
[tomb] Clem says, "On the minus side, looks like we're about to lose our rogue."
[tomb] DM says (to Crumbli), "I think that just applies to Reflex saves"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "given how the Tomb works, she's going to turn into a 12-year-old"
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Ah, right."
[tomb] Clem asks (of Ebezar), "Exactly what are you accusing Gygax of?"
DM says, "I'll roll for Finn and Kong, since they went afk for a bit"
[tomb] Crumbli says, "+2 if it's an Enchantment, though"
DM rolls 1d20+9: 13+9 | 22
DM rolls 1d20+6: 16+6 | 22
DM says, "which leaves Paulie and Grog"
Paulie rolls 1d20+6: 13+6 | 19
[tomb] Crumbli asks, "DM just rolled fortitude saves for the cohorts?"
Grog rolls 1d20+10: 18+10 | 28
[tomb] DM says, "That was Finn and Kong"
[tomb] Paulie says, "(Stupid modem hanging up just as a roll comes up.)"
DM says, "Crumbli and Paulie swoon and fall to the ground"
Grog exclaims, "Captain Paulie!"
Grog catches him.
DM says, "They appear to be fast asleep"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "1.wav"
Rosie dashes forward and catches the door before it closes.
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "DM fiat forces the party to rest after all"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Ha ha"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "hee hee"
Crumbli asks, "Wait, wait. Asleep?"
DM says, "You hear a rumbling to the north, from beyond the second set of doors"
Clem says (to Crumbli), "Shh, you're asleep."
[tomb] Finn back
Crumbli says, "I'm an elf! I'm immune to sleep effects."
DM says, "Nooooooooo"
[Crows-Nest] Rosie laughs and laughs.
[Crows-Nest] Finn says (to elf), "You're not immune to DEATH are you"
DM says, "Crumbli blinks her eyes and springs back up. 'Just kidding!' she says."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "You guys suck"
Grog waits for Paulie to blink.
Clem cranes his neck from the back of the marching order and tries to figure out wtf.
[Crows-Nest] Finn says (to DM), "Don't be a player-hater."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "ok, I am laughing way more than that deserves"
Ebezar says, "The rumbling is most worrying."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Ha ha"
Grog shakes Paulie gently, trying to wake him.
DM says, "The doors at the other end swing open into the hall"
Crumbli closes the door
Rosie readies herself.
Clem says (to Grog), "Bring him over here."
Grog does as Mister Clem says.
DM says, "The rumbling grows louder"
Finn says, "Maybe something is going to roll down those stairs."
Ebezar asks, "Fireball?"
Crumbli says, "If there's going to be a fight, I'm willing to spend it dragging Paulie out of the way."
Rosie goes up the stairs 5 feet.
Finn says, "We should get back past the pit."
[tomb] Paulie says, "Lawnmower."
Ebezar says, "Note that if we must retreat quickly, the pit will slow us."
Crumbli says, "Stairs, then."
Finn orders Kong to carry Paulie.
Clem is already heading pitwards.
DM says, "Now these doors swing open into the hall"
DM says, "Let's establish where everybody is"
[tomb] Clem asks, "Okay, what spell can cure magical sleep?"
[tomb] Clem says, "Lesser Restoration doesn't look useful."
DM says, "Rosie started going up the stairs, Clem went south"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Roll call 1! I'm on the stairs."
[tomb] Clem asks, "Remove Curse?"
[tomb] Paulie says, "This is where I need to point out again that Paulie does not actually put Grog into the next encumbrance class."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "Bigby's Caffeinated Fist"
Finn says, "Finn and Kong are backing away towards the pit."
[tomb] Crumbli says, "I'm heading to the stairs too."
[tomb] Paulie says, "So Grog can keep me slung over one shoulder and still fight and run as well as he can otherwise."
Ebezar says, "I'm backing up with Rosie"
[tomb] Finn says, "Fine; Grog can carry Paulie if he feels like."
[tomb] Clem says, "Just as long as he doesn't get you mixed up with the axe."
[tomb] Rosie says, "(the stairs in question are *forward*, for what it's worth)"
[tomb] Rosie says, "aka north."
Grog is going with Clem, because Clem said to go to Clem.
[tomb] DM makes map
Clem says, "Er, hrm."
Clem says, "I started going this way because the ape-killer suggested it."
DM asks, "OK, and who has Paulie?"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "Paulie is being pulled in three by Kong, Grog, and Crumbli"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Grog. I do not trust Finn around immobilized characters."
[tomb] Finn says, "Fair enough."
[tomb] DM says, "OK, I have http://hamesucken.com/tomb/23.txt"
[tomb] DM says, "where L = cLem"
[tomb] Finn says, "That's right by me."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "excellent. the crossfire should be fun"
[tomb] Paulie says, "(I'd be fine with Crumbli, but she's probably not strong enough to carry without trouble.)"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "and I do mean fire"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "The ^ are what, again?"
[tomb] DM says, "Stairs"
[tomb] Clem says, "Spiky stairs."
DM says, "OK! The doors finish pushing open"
DM says, "and this rolls into the corridor"
DM says, "http://www.hamesucken.com/tomb/23.jpg"
DM says, "as denoted by e on the map"
Clem says, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "that is the awesomest monster ever"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Ha ha ha."
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Sunffleupagusmobile"
[tomb] Rosie falls *over*!
[tomb] Paulie says, "The autophant."
DM says, "Roll initiative!"
Clem says, "I can't figure out my saving roll against collapsing in laughter."
Clem rolls 1d20 for init: 20 | 20
Rosie rolls 1d20+5 for init: 13+5 | 18
[tomb] Ebezar says, "the only way it could be better is if it had a flaming sword in its mouth"
[tomb] Clem says, "Wow, the dice like me today."
Finn rolls 1d20+0: 14+0 | 14
Crumbli says, "I guess the idea here is that it would roll over anyone collapsed in front of the doors."
[tomb] Clem says (to Ebezar), "It will soon!"
[tomb] Paulie says, "This is what they call an 'SUV' on the Flintstones."
Ebezar rolls 1d20+3: 5+3 | 8
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says (to Paulie), "ha"
Finn rolls for Kong:
Finn rolls 1d20+2: 18+2 | 20
Clem says (to Crumbli), "Sneaky."
[tomb] Ebezar says (to Paulie), "ha ha ha"
Paulie rolls 1d20+8 for init: 3+8 | 11
Grog rolls 1d20+6 for init: 5+6 | 11
Crumbli rolls 1d20+4: 6+4 | 10
DM rolls 1d20-1: 20-1 | 19
[Crows-Nest] (from nothing_else) DM says, "Did I forget to mention it's about 5 inches tall?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Ha ha ha ha ha"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar falls over.
[Crows-Nest] Rosie says, "Hee"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "If only we had somehow secured the doors shut. Rumble rumble rumble splat."
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "er, but not in front of the elephant."
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Oh heck. I think the reflex save I did earlier was one higher than it should have been. I really should make a character sheet that reflects my loss of equipment."
DM says, "KONG Clem Elephant Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbly Ebezar"
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says (to Finn), "Or possibly more like 'rumble rumble crunch splinter'."
[tomb] DM says, "I think you made it by one over anyway"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "By 'secure' I mean, like, Wall of Stone"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "ha ha"
[Crows-Nest] Clem says, "Like I'm going to waste my 5th-level spell on a goddamn wheely mammoth."
DM says, "by which I mean it is Kong's turn"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Hahaha"
(From Finn) Kong is more confused than normal. He delays.
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "ray of enfeeblement should leave it so weak that it can no longer pump blood around its bldoy"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "er, body"
DM says, "Kong CLEM Elephant Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbly Ebezar"
DM says, "Clem is exactly as confused as normal"
Clem says, "Oh, what the hell, SPIRITUAL WEAPON."
Clem summons a holy flaming sword that fierily attacks the whatever the hell it is.
Clem rolls 1d20+11: 12+11 | 23
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Acererak, the poor guy. First we berate him for being unoriginal. Now we berate him for being too original. He can't win."
Clem says, "(its one attack this round)"
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Oh, good call those of us who fled to the stairs! It probably can't climb those."
[tomb] Clem says, "Unless there's another one at the top."
[tomb] G2 says, "or they turn into a ramp"
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Whereas it might be able to roll people into a pit."
[tomb] Finn says, "Alright, so I made a bad call there. (I thought the rumbling was coming from the top of the stairs, actually.)"
[Crows-Nest] nothing_else exclaims (at Crumbli), "almost as clever as not falling asleep!"
Clem asks, "Did that hit?"
[tomb] Rosie says, "That's why I went up the stairs, though I thought it might be a big rolly rock."
[tomb] Clem says, "I thought it was too."
DM says, "The flaming sword bounces off the stony hide of the wheely mammoth"
DM asks, "Who's laughing now??"
Clem asks, "Even though it's a flaming magical sword that's not actually a sword?"
DM says, "Yes, you just failed your to-hit roll is all"
Clem says, "Oh, you mean its AC is too high, got it."
Clem says, "(bollocks)"
DM asks, "Anything else from Clem?"
[Crows-Nest] K-Y says, "Wheely... mammoth"
[Crows-Nest] (from Paulie) Clem says, "More bollocks?"
[Crows-Nest] Rosie says (to KY), "http://www.hamesucken.com/tomb/23.jpg"
Clem moves further away from the wtf.
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "GLOWING wheely mammoth"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "I guess the glow is D&D's version of headlights"
[Crows-Nest] Clem asks, "Is it actually called a 'wheely mammoth' in the module?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "No"
DM says, "You could even go past the door if you wanted"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "logy mammoth"
Clem asks, "I could?"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "The pit was at a four-way intersection, right? So if we run up to it, we can make a running jump to the south side?"
[tomb] DM says, "Yeah"
Clem says, "Nah, I'm heading for the pit."
DM says, "Yeah, you're only 15 feet from it and you can move 20"
DM says, "I mean, the door between you and the pit"
Clem says, "Oh, I see."
Clem says, "The ex-secret door. Sure."
Clem does that,
[tomb] Paulie says, "Oh yeah, we could close the door."
DM says, "All righty, map updated"
DM says, "(Kong) Clem ELEPHANT Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbly Ebezar"
DM says, "For its first move it rolls south 20 feet"
DM says, "For its second it rolls over Finn and Kong"
[tomb] Clem asks, "How exactly does it turn?"
Clem says, "Owwwww."
DM says, "So now we get to use the Overrun rules!"
[tomb] Eolo says, "slowly"
[Crows-Nest] Rosie says, "http://strackenz.spod-central.org/~lpsmith/rpg/transcripts/tomb/Tomb.png updated."
[tomb] Paulie says (to Eolo), "That seems unlikely, if it just overran us on its first turn."
[tomb] DM says, "Hmm, I'm not sure how to handle overrunning multiple opponents at once"
[tomb] DM says, "So we'll just do it against Finn"
[tomb] DM says, "Actually, that makes little sense"
[tomb] DM says, "Ah, okay, it gets it against everyone"
[tomb] Crumbli says, "You'd think that Large things could do multiple overruns all the time."
[tomb] DM says, "Yeah"
[tomb] (from Paulie) DM says, "It's Kong who's supposed to die here"
[tomb] DM says, "i was looking at Overrun instead of Trample, which this has"
[tomb] DM says, "OK, so it is going to trample Finn, Kong and Grog"
[tomb] Finn says, "Oh dear"
[tomb] Clem says, "Yikes."
[tomb] DM says, "each of which can (a) attempt an attack of opportunity at a -4 penalty"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Ack."
[tomb] DM says, "or (b) attempt a Reflex save to take half damage"
[tomb] Finn says, "Good thing I taught Kong the 'speed bump' trick."
[tomb] Finn says, "Kong and Finn are going to try to reflex out of the way."
[tomb] DM says, "This thing takes up the entire width of the corridor, which makes it even harder to imagine how it turned, but hey"
[tomb] DM says, "All righty, roll"
[tomb] Finn says, "And, holy crap, who would have thought taking Lightning Reflexes would have been a good idea."
[tomb] Rosie says, "The double doors are a bit wider than 10'."
Finn rolls 1d20+5: 2+5 | 7
Finn says, "And now Kong:"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "roll, but not in a wheely mammoth kind of way"
Finn rolls 1d20+6: 1+6 | 7
DM asks, "And Grog?"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Wow."
Finn says, "We're laughing too hard to properly leap."
DM says, "(Plus Paulie)"
[tomb] Clem says, "Soon, you'll be laughing with a face full of standard dungeon flagstones."
[tomb] Rosie says, "***you have died in the most embarrassing way possible***"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Sorry, got knocked offline again."
[tomb] Finn says, "On the plus side, ape pancakes for breakfast tomorrow."
[tomb] Paulie says, "Grog will attack."
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Does Paulie get a reflex save?"
[tomb] DM says, "Paulie is asleep"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Yeah. Hence the question."
[tomb] DM says, "Nope"
[tomb] Paulie says, "(Didn't know if rogues were trained to dodge in their sleep.)"
[tomb] Eolo says, "hee hee"
Grog turns to the mammoth roller, with rage in his eyes, and swings his axe at it.
Grog rolls 1d20+12: 7+12 | 19
[tomb] Finn says, "We're trapped in the hall of sucky rolls."
DM says, "Grog's axe barely chips the thing"
DM says, "Now for some damage!!"
[tomb] Clem says, "Well, if we can reach the pit, we should be safe."
[tomb] Clem says, "Of course by we I mean 'I'."
DM says, "The thing rolls over Finn"
DM rolls 2d10+18: 8 10+18 | 36
[tomb] Paulie says (to Clem), "And by 'safe' you mean 'falling'."
DM says, "and Kong"
DM rolls 2d10+18: 7 2+18 | 27
DM says, "and Grog"
DM rolls 2d10+18: 9 5+18 | 32
[tomb] Ebezar says, "yow"
DM says, "and Paulie"
[tomb] Clem says, "Only 10d6 damage, I can take it."
DM rolls 2d10+18: 5 3+18 | 26
[tomb] Ebezar says, "I think I'll move up a couple of stairs"
Clem shudders, looks at his nearly-expended wand of healing, frowns.
DM says, "updating map..."
Paulie moans loudly in his sleep.
[tomb] Clem asks (of Paulie), "What's your hp now?"
[tomb] DM says, "(The thing is in l1 through m2)"
[tomb] DM says, "Paulie is at 22/48"
[tomb] Paulie says, "22"
DM says, "(Kong) Clem Elephant ROSIE Finn Paulie Grog Crumbly Ebezar"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "shame I don't still have a baleful polymorph spell"
[tomb] Clem says, "Ha ha."
[tomb] Paulie asks, "So, um. What are the rules for acting when you're underneath an elephant?"
Rosie asks, "It's still heading south after Clem?"
[tomb] Finn says, "If it's a construct, which I think it might be, then it wouldn't help."
DM says, "Yeah"
[tomb] Ebezar asks, "yeah, anyone but me have the knowledge skills needed to try and see?"
[tomb] Eolo says (to Paulie), "well, it's too dark to read"
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Yeah, this is an ideal monster to turn into a box turtle and then drop down that 100-foot pit."
[tomb] Paulie says (to Eolo), "I do not think that will seriously alter Grog's tactics."
Rosie runs up to it from behind and attempts to shove a caltrop in a roller.
[tomb] Eolo says, "good point"
[tomb] DM says (to Paulie), "I think you're basically SOL until it passes over you"
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Because even if it survives, I doubt it can climb."
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Is the pit large enough for the mammoth to fall into?"
[tomb] Rosie says, "(after it passes over our friends, of course)"
[tomb] DM says (to Paulie), "Yeah"
[tomb] Paulie says, "I guess it must be, if the pit's as wide as the corridor in both directions."
[tomb] Rosie says, "(assuming I can still act this action and it's moved five feet?)"
[tomb] DM says (to Rosie), "Let's see, you can reach it"
[tomb] Rosie says, "So, my idea is to put the caltrop into where the back roller is disappearing under the elephant."
[tomb] DM asks, "Like throw it between the rollers?"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Not quite, hmm."
[tomb] DM says, "Oh, I see what you mean, I think"
[tomb] Eolo says, "I assume Rosie wants to jam the wheel from turning with the caltrop"
[tomb] DM says, "Right"
[tomb] Eolo says, "the mechanics of the wheel are a little unclear from the picture"
[tomb] DM says, "Roll a d20 and I'll use that to help decide what happens"
[tomb] Rosie | EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE [tomb] Rosie | EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE [tomb] Rosie | -- --X [tomb] Rosie | / \ / \ [tomb] Rosie | \ / \ / [tomb] Rosie | -- --
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "A panel on the mammoth blinks. "APE JAM IN REAR ROLLER. ""
[tomb] Rosie | ;At the X. [tomb] Rosie | roll 1d20
[Crows-Nest] Clem says, "Heh."
[tomb] Rosie | ;heh
Rosie rolls 1d20: 12 | 12
DM says, "You get a +2 circumstance bonus for making such a nice picture"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "BC LOAD LETTER"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Hee hee"
DM says, "Anyway, you stick it in there and we'll find out next round if it had any effect"
DM says, "Finn, Paulie and Grog are all out of luck this round"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Dear G'taar I hope the effect isn't to prevent it from getting off of my kidney."
DM says, "(Kong) Clem Elephant Rosie Finn Paulie Grog CRUMBLI Ebezar"
DM says, "I guess I will say Kong stopped delaying when the thing attacked, since he can't do anything now anyway"
DM says, "so"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog CRUMBLI Ebezar"
Crumbli says, "OK, I go a little way up the stairs"
Crumbli says, "And float out of elephant reach."
Crumbli says, "I don't want to go to the top of the stairs, though."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "hm, any spell suggestions? If this thing is a construct, most of what I've got won't do much, and the rest will do bad things to the party at that end of the corridor"
DM says, "OK"
DM says, "You see that the stairs end in a blank wall"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Something that'll save Clem?"
[tomb] Clem says, "It seems like I could just lead it into the pit."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "I was thinking of bubbling it, but that'd get everyone else"
[tomb] Clem asks, "It's only moving 20' per action, right?"
[tomb] Clem says, "I can outrun it, I think."
[tomb] Rosie says, "It's moving 2x20 per."
[tomb] Clem says, "Or teleport away."
[tomb] Clem asks, "I can make two moves too, right?"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "If Clem's on the other side of the doors now, can you hold them shut?"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Or, hmm, maybe just 1x20."
DM asks, "Anything else?"
[tomb] Ebezar says (to DM), "as an advance warning: I'd like to try a knowledge roll to see if I can figure out what's up with it"
[tomb] Rosie says, "I would not suggest that one guy tries to hold a door shut against a rolling elephant."
[tomb] Paulie says (to Rosie), "s/one guy/one wizard who is casting spells from a safe distance/"
[tomb] Paulie says, "(Don't know if he has anything relevant.)"
[tomb] Rosie says, "(no, the clem-holds-the-door-shut option)"
DM says, "I'll take that as a now"
DM says, "no"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli EBEZAR"
Ebezar asks, "Which knowledge skill would you like me to roll?"
Ebezar says, "having spent my earlier time staring at the monster, brow furrowed"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "knowedgle (funny-looking pachyderms)"
DM says, "Roll a d20 and I'll decide"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "knowedgle? man"
Ebezar rolls 1d20: 15 | 15
Clem says, "Noting the precise manner in which it flattened half the party."
DM says, "Well, it's definitely a construct"
[tomb] Paulie says (to Rosie), "I don't think anyone was proposing that Clem hold the door shut exactly."
[tomb] Paulie says, "I was asking if Ebezar had any spells for holding the door shut, to at least slow it down while Clem ran away."
[tomb] Rosie says, "Well, good."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "mrf, so nothing I've got will do much"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Aha."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "I've got no slow spells or anything"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "once it gets further away, I can resilient sphere it"
[tomb] Clem asks, "Unless it's going to speed up I can reach the pit first, no?"
[tomb] Clem says, "Not like I'm not going to try anyway, I guess."
Ebezar says (to DM), "No other action from me"
[tomb] Clem asks, "Dammit, why didn't I cast Longstrider?"
DM says, "CLEM Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
[tomb] Rosie asks (of GM), "Has this thing moved other than to roll? Like, waved its trunk or anything?"
(From DM) Clem says, "I delay."
[tomb] DM says (to Rosie), "Nope"
Clem asks, "How far can I move if I sprint the whole round?"
DM says, "Four times your movement I think? Let me check"
DM says, "Yeah"
DM says, "But you lose your dex bonus to your AC!"
Crumbli says, "Three times if you're in heavy armor."
DM says, "Aha"
Clem asks, "Well, that would be enough to cross the pit, but can I step around the corner after sprinting?"
DM says, "You'd definitely have to make a roll"
Clem says, "Ooh, a jump roll."
Clem says, "At -2 that would be the worst idea ever."
Clem asks, "Does the elephant fill the corridor vertically?"
[tomb] Eolo says, "especially if it landed on top of you"
Crumbli says, "Run is a full-round action and only lets you move in a straight line."
DM says, "Almost"
Clem says, "Well, whatever, I'll still cast Fly on myself."
Clem says, "And then fly 40ft further south."
Clem says, "Also getting as high as possible to avoid trampling."
DM says, "OK"
Clem says, "Plus my magical sword is still hacking away."
Clem rolls 1d20+11: 12+11 | 23
Clem rolls 1d20+6: 15+6 | 21
DM says, "Your magical sword still misses"
Clem says, "No hits, I assume."
DM says, "Clem ELEPHANT Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
DM says, "The elephant tries to keep rolling south but the caltrop holds it up"
Ebezar says, "ooo"
DM says, "Then the caltrop snaps"
[Crows-Nest] Rob_2 looks in for a moment, notices an elephant in the room
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "ssh, don't talk about it"
DM says, "It reaches the south door (at p on the map) and stops"
[Crows-Nest] Stacey says, "hee hee"
DM says, "and begins to back up"
[tomb] Finn says, "Lousy human workmanship"
DM says, "The caltrop slowed it down enough that's all the moving it does this turn, though"
DM says, "Clem Elephant KONG Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
Finn says, "Kong gets his ass up the stairs."
Rosie asks, "Why do I think this thing is going to roll up the stairs?"
[tomb] Paulie says, "I am waiting for the part where, as the elephant rolls back past the doors, the stairs flatten out."
DM asks (of Finn), "ALl the way?"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Timing."
DM asks, "to the top?"
Finn says, "Well, right behind everyone else, let's say."
DM says, "That's the top"
Finn asks, "The top as in the top stair, or the landing?"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong ROSIE Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
[tomb] Paulie says, "I wonder if you could ride this thing."
DM says, "There's no landing - the stairs end in a blank wall"
Finn says, "Err, oh. Well, yeah, up at the top then."
Rosie takes advantage of the pause to leap up on top of the thing.
DM says, "Make a dex check"
Rosie rolls 1d20+5 for dex: 15+5 | 20
DM says, "In a move worthy of Legolas, Rosie springs up on to the rear end of the thing"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Hee hee"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "yay"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "Kong gets his ass up the stairs; Rosie gets herself up the ass"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Uh"
DM says, "You could attack too if you like"
Rosie asks, "Sure. One attack?"
DM says, "Yeah, you used a move action"
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a1: 9+13 | 22
DM says, "Ow your fist"
Rosie pummels it from atop its back.
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says (to Eolo), "You just missed a great opportunity to pun on 'stares' and 'up th--' no, never mind, not such a great opportunity..."
Rosie starts searching around for any controls.
DM says, "No apparent effect"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie FINN Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "hee hee"
Finn says, "Just to be different, Finn runs into whatever space is back in behind those double doors."
[tomb] Clem says, "It seems like the elephant will chase you and your only escape will be the doors to the north."
Clem And I'm going to bet another 10hp that those are trapped somehow.
Clem says, "Er, channel."
DM says, "OK, looks like running has to be in a straight line, as baf said"
Finn says, "Well, I'll saunter, then."
DM says, "So you can take two 20' foot moves instead"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "You think it'll get up the stairs?"
DM says, "which gets you just to the first set of doors"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie GROG Crumbli Ebezar"
DM says, "(Paulie is still asleep)"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Paulie holds."
Grog gets his and Paulie's asses up those stairs.
[tomb] Paulie says, "I assume there's finite space at the top, so we'll just be behind everyone else."
[tomb] DM says, "I'm updating the map as we go, btw"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Also, this is yet another circumstance where we really could have used sovereign glue."
[tomb] DM | http://hamesucken.com/tomb/23.txt

[tomb] Ebezar says, "eeee"
[tomb] Finn says, "Or an Immovable Rod."
Crumbli says, "I search that blank wall at the top of the stairs."
Crumbli says, "Since this is in combat, I don't think I can take ten."
Crumbli rolls 1d20+16: 13+16 | 29
[Crows-Nest] Rob_2 asks, "how far do I have to scroll back to see what it is they're fighting?"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "that elephant"
[Crows-Nest] Finn | http://hamesucken.com/tomb/23.jpg
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "it's rolling up and down the corridor squishing them"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "hm, to bubble or not to bubble"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo | http://hamesucken.com/tomb/23.txt
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "is the map"
DM says, "You find nothing special about the wall"
Crumbli says, "Bah"
DM asks, "That's a full-round action, right?"
Crumbli says, "Yes"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli EBEZAR"
[tomb] Rosie says, "I'm OK with being bubbled with it, I suppose."
[tomb] Finn says (to Crumbli), "If you think the stairs might collapse, you could try searching and disabling them. If you've that much time."
Ebezar says, "Readied action: should the elephant start to come up the stairs or the stairs flatten or otherwise move us in its path, I'm casting Resilient Sphere on it"
DM says, "OK"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "(the es are the elephant with Rosie on its back, the ^s are stairs that most of the part is hiding on, the :s are doors, the Xs are a pit that C(L)em is on the edge of"
DM asks, "That's it for your turn?"
[tomb] DM reads up on Resilient Sphere
[tomb] Finn | Do not taunt the Resilient Sphere.
Ebezar says, "yeah"
DM says, "CLEM Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
[tomb] Ebezar says (to DM), "reflex save to avoid; bubbles for (in my case) 9 minutes"
[tomb] Paulie RTA 'reflex save to avoid bubbles'.
[tomb] Ebezar says, "also, http://www.phy.duke.edu/~sgranade/ebezar.txt has brief descriptions of all of my spells, though the spell allotment isn't current"
Clem asks, "It's moving north now, right?"
Rosie calls to Clem "Caltrops slowed it down--got any?"
DM says, "Yep"
Clem says, "I'll fly north 40ft, then throw a flask of oil at it."
Clem says, "Not sure what my attack roll is for that."
DM says, "I think that's 'ranged touch'"
Finn says, "Sounds plausible enough."
Clem says, "I think I'm +8 rather than +11 for that."
Clem asks, "Dex instead of strength, right?"
[tomb] Eolo says (to Clem), "you can roll for your spell, too, if it's still around"
[tomb] Clem says, "I'll do that next."
Clem rolls 1d20+8: 19+8 | 27
[tomb] Clem says, "Woo, rock on."
DM says, "The flask hits the thing right between the eyes and shatters"
[tomb] Rosie asks, "It's made of stone, right?"
[tomb] DM says, "Yep"
[tomb] Clem says, "Oh, is it? I thought it was wood."
Clem says, "And having done something pointless, let's try attacking again."
[tomb] Paulie says, "But now it'll do fire damage when it rolls over us."
Clem rolls 1d20+11: 11+11 | 22
Clem rolls 1d20+6: 11+6 | 17
Clem says, "Bah."
[tomb] Finn says, "Well, it has a stone-like toughness. It might just be really hard wood."
[tomb] Clem says (to Paulie), "Heh."
DM says, "The flaming sword continues to bash away ineffectually"

DM says, "Rosie has found no controls or anything"
[tomb] Rosie asks, "Are the eyes, hmm, crystalish or something?"
[tomb] Rosie asks, "Or just blank stone?"
[tomb] DM says, "Just blank stone"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "they're a little oily, as if crying"
[tomb] Clem says, "Heh."
[tomb] Rosie says, "OK, I'll just bash at it, then."
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a1: 6+13 | 19
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a2: 15+13 | 28
Rosie rolls 1d20+8 for a3: 3+8 | 11
DM says, "The second fist actually hit it!"
Rosie rolls 1d10+3 for damage: 8+3 | 11
DM says, "and did almost no damage"
[tomb] Clem says, "This thing better not have damage resistance."
[tomb] Clem says, "Oh dear."
Rosie finally finds a weak spot on the back fo the elephant.
[tomb] Finn says, "Probably 'hardness' which is pretty much DR."
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie FINN Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
Finn says, "I push through the doors."
DM says, "All righty"
DM says, "You can move up to 40' this turn if you want to keep going"
[tomb] (from Paulie) DM says, "into a trap
[tomb] DM says, "Shhhhhhh"
Finn says, "Sure, I'll keep heading in unless I see something really obviously interesting like a big STOP button."
DM updates map
Rosie asks, "Like, through the next set of doors?"
DM says, "So as you can see, there's another corridor beyond that one"
DM says, "with another set of double doors on the left at the far end"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie GROG Crumbli Ebezar"
Grog feeds Paulie a potion of Cure Moderate Wounds.
Grog rolls 2d8+1: 5 7+1 | 13
DM says, "Glug glug"
DM asks, "Is that it?"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Yeah."
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog CRUMBLI Ebezar"
Crumbli says, "I just levitate as close to the ceiling as I can."
Crumbli says, "I try to flatten myself against it, if possible."
DM says, "You do the best you can"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli EBEZAR"
[tomb] Finn says, "Fortunately, the Elephant is there to help you with flattening yourself against the ceiling."
[tomb] DM says, "Ha ha"
Ebezar says, "I am watching with academic interest, though I re-ready my old readied action"
DM says, "ROUND 4"
DM says, "CLEM Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
[tomb] Finn says, "Too bad we don't have a portable pothole."
Clem says, "Hmm."
[tomb] Paulie says, "If I were awake, I could hide us in a dimensional space."
Clem asks, "Can I charge through the air and whack it with my sword?"
DM says, "I don't think you can make a flying charge, but I can check"
[tomb] Finn says, "I /do/ have a scroll of stone shape; depending on how this corridor ends up, I might be able to make a door for you top-of-the-stair guys."
DM | The subject of a fly spell can charge but not run
[tomb] Clem says, "Throwing that oil would have been more useful if I had a way of throwing fire too."
DM says, "So all right"
[tomb] Rosie asks (of Finn), "How about stone-shaping the elephant so it can't roll?"
[tomb] Finn asks, "That flaming sword beating on it isn't really flaming?"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Like a flaming s-- timing."
Clem asks, "Does that move me far enough?"
Clem says, "If so, RARRR"
[tomb] Paulie says, "I was kinda surprised it didn't ignite when it attacked after you oiled."
DM says, "Yep"
[tomb] DM says, "Oh, good point"
[tomb] Eolo says, "Rosie could light the oily patch on fire, I guess"
[tomb] Finn says, "Well, that would probably involve saving throws, and stone shaping things with moving parts has a goodly chance of failing anyway."
[tomb] Clem says, "That's a force weapon, not a real flaming sword."
[tomb] Rosie says, "Except that it's stone."
[tomb] Eolo says, "whoops, kibitzing, sorry"
[tomb] Clem says, "Plus it didn't hit."
[tomb] DM says (to Clem), "Oh, good point"
DM says, "OK, Clem swoops all the way up to it"
Clem asks, "Do I get any extra attack bonus from charging?"
[tomb] Finn says, "Yeah, that sword doesn't actually do any fire damage. It's just a divine special effect."
DM says, "+2"
Clem rolls 1d20+13: 13+13 | 26
DM says, "You hit!!"
Ebezar exclaims, "!"
Clem says, "Okay, 2d6+5 + 1d6 fire."
[Crows-Nest] Finn says (to Clem's), "Wire Team Good job, wushu guys."
Clem rolls 3d6+5: 3 4 1+5 | 13
Clem says, "In the specified order if that's important."
Crumbli asks, "Could we use Stone Shape to make a hole for it to fall into?"
Clem says, "Oh, and G'taar's sword."
Clem rolls 1d20+11: 19+11 | 30
Clem says, "Ooh, critical threat, if applicable."
Clem rolls 1d20+6: 18+6 | 24
[tomb] Finn says, "Hole idea: I can shape 19 cubic feet, so, yeah, I might be able to make a little trap for it or something."
[tomb] Paulie asks (of Clem), "So if we ever do find the promised hydra, the divine weapon won't help cauterize anything?"
DM says, "No critical"
Clem asks, "How many hits?"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "but excellent use of G'taar's whammy bar for the potential critical"
[tomb] Clem says, "Heh."
DM says, "Roll damage for that"
[tomb] Finn says, "Pinching in the floor or the walls or something to let it not get to us is another idea, but I'm not sure which side of it we want to be trapped on."
Clem says, "I rolled two attacks there, sorry."
Clem says, "30 and 24."
DM says, "Aha"
DM says, "no criticals, though"
DM says, "So just roll damage"
Clem says, "I don't know if the 24 hit!"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Construct == no criticals, for those watching at home."
DM says, "It did not"
Clem rolls 1d8+3: 4+3 | 7
[tomb] Crumbli says, "19 cubic feet isn't a lot."
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Constructs are immune anyway, right?"
[tomb] Rosie asks, "Hmm, I assume construct = no fort save either?"
[tomb] Finn says, "Not a lot, but apparently it fits in this corridor pretty snuggly."
DM says, "It is ineffectual"
DM says, "But the flaming sword did do a little bit of damage"
[tomb] Paulie says (to Crumbly), "It's enough for a 1.9x10 ft hole."
Clem says, "Well, that all looked pretty cool, at least."
Clem asks, "Did I set it on fire?"
DM says, "And it now has a flaming face, although it doesn't seem to be fazing it much"
Clem says, "Hrm."
[tomb] Paulie says, "x1 ft, I mean. Which could be enough to get one roller caught in."
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Ideally we'd want to trap it by the stairs to nowhere."
DM says, "Clem ELEPHANT Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
DM says, "The elephant rolls to the foot of the stairs"
[tomb] Rosie says, ">dramatic pause<"
DM says, "Ebezar's eyes widen and he prepares to begin his magical gesture"
Ebezar dramatic raising of waggly fingers.
[tomb] (from Ebezar) GM says, "Okay, great game. See you in a few weeks."
DM says, "The elephant makes an improbably elegant turn and pushes back through the east doors"
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Yeah, come to think of it Baleful Polymorph would have failed anyway."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "yeah"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Hello, Finn."
Clem says, "Ha ha."
[tomb] Finn says, "In the distance, you hear someone swearing."
DM says, "Map updated"
Crumbli says, "Hooray"
[tomb] Rosie asks, "Is it going forwards or backwards into the hall?"
Ebezar says, "It was kind of Acerak to provide these steps for us to seek shelter upon"
[tomb] DM says, "It backed through the doors"
[tomb] DM says, "so facing the same way it was when it came out of them"
[tomb] Rosie nods.
DM says, "Clem Elephant KONG Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
[tomb] Finn says, "And emitting a BEEP BEEP BEEP sound."
Finn says, "Kong cannot see his master, so he waits faithfully."
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong ROSIE Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
Rosie flips off the front of the elephant and tries jamming a bunch of caltrops into the front roller this time.
[tomb] Rosie says, "However many I can get in there; I have four left."
[tomb] DM says, "I read 'flips off' as 'taunts'"
[tomb] Rosie laughs.
[tomb] Finn says, "Heh"
[tomb] G2 says, "yeah, me too"
[tomb] Finn exclaims, "Screw you, clown mammoth!"
DM says, "Roll a couple of d20s"
Rosie rolls 2d20: 4 17 | 21
DM says, "OK, one of them got immediately ejected but you got a second one in there"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie FINN Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
Finn sees the thing coming. Awww, man.
Finn keeps going further north, then through those western doors.
[tomb] Finn says, "Hmm."
[tomb] Rosie says, "(nobody answered last time--can I assume this thing has no fort save for Stunning Fist?)"
[tomb] DM says, "Right"
[tomb] Finn says, "I'm pretty sure it can't be stunned."
[tomb] DM says, "OK, you open the doors to reveal a bare 20' by 20' room"
[tomb] DM says, "map updated and you still have 20' of movement left"
[tomb] Paulie says, "I think we've found its home."
[tomb] Finn | |...+--+
[Crows-Nest] Rob_2 says, "oh I thought maybe the elephant was some animal Clem had summoned or something"
[Crows-Nest] Clem asks, "Why would I summon an elephant??"
[Crows-Nest] Clem asks, "On wheels???"
[tomb] Finn says, "Err, that's no good. I stand just beside the inside NE corner there. Like, one square NW of the top of the door."
[Crows-Nest] Rob_2 says, "an elephant is -- ha ha"
[Crows-Nest] Rob_2 says, "I didn't realize it was on wheels"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Well, rollers."
DM says, "All righty"
[Crows-Nest] Rosie asks, "You didn't see the picture?"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie GROG Crumbli Ebezar"
Finn says, "No, one spot south of that."
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says, "http://www.hamesucken.com/tomb/23.jpg"
DM says, "(OK)"
[tomb] Finn afk 5.
[tomb] Paulie says, "Based on how long it took to move before, and the fact that it's got a altrop in it..."
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Would there probably be time to reach the pit, if I started running now?"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Or, barring that, time to reach the doors where it stopped before?"
[tomb] DM says, "Well, Grog seems to be as fast as it is"
[tomb] DM says, "Faster, actually"
[tomb] DM says, "since it is moving with a speed of 20' every movement round"
[tomb] Clem asks, "So how on earth do we stop this thing? Or do we just leave it and try another route?"
Grog runs back down the hall towards the pit.
[tomb] Crumbli says, "So we're thinking there's nothing but rollerphants here? There might be secret doors in the 20x20 room."
[tomb] Paulie says, "If it stops at the door every time, we can station our two best bruisers there and bash it once per cycle."
[tomb] DM asks, "You said Grog's still unencumbered, right?"
Crumbli says, "But I'm willing to just flee to the pit."
[tomb] Paulie says, "Right."
DM says, "OK, Grog makes it all the way to the pit"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog CRUMBLI Ebezar"
[tomb] Clem says (to Paulie), "Or we can just sit on top of it."
Crumbli says, "I land and proceed with all haste southward."
DM says, "Crumbli also reaches the pit, given that she's running"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Mmm, yeah."
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli EBEZAR"
Ebezar exclaims, "Flee! To the pit!"
DM says, "ROUND 5"
DM says, "IN WHICH FINN IS LEFT TO HIS DEATH"
[tomb] Finn is back.
[tomb] (from Paulie) Finn says, "Thanks, guys. I love you too."
[tomb] Paulie says, "Timing."
[tomb] Finn says, "Hey"
DM says, "CLEM Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
[tomb] Finn says, "Stupid karma."
[tomb] (from DM) Kong runs away too
Clem says, "Dammit, we can't leave our guys behind!"
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Dude, I'm not behaving any differently than I have in any other battle."
Clem says, "At least not within the parameters of my alignment!"
Paulie exclaims (at Clem), "Kong can fend for himself!"
[tomb] Rosie says, "I think you mean (from DM) Kong stabs Finn in the heart, then runs away."
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Except of course the one where I got killed."
[tomb] Finn laughs.
Clem flies after the elephant as quickly as possible.
Clem says, "(40ft per round)"
DM says, "You can reach it with your move action and attack it once"
Clem says, "Er, not per round, per move."
Clem says, "Sounds good."
Clem rolls 1d20+11: 6+11 | 17
Clem says, "And G'taar."
Clem rolls 1d20+11: 19+11 | 30
Clem rolls 1d20+6: 19+6 | 25

Clem says, "Once? Man."
Clem rolls 1d8+3: 4+3 | 7
DM says, "for no damage"
DM says, "Clem ELEPHANT Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
DM says, "It spends one round snapping the caltrop and another one moving 20 feet forward"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Where 'forward' means 'backward'?"
[tomb] DM says, "UH, right"
DM says, "Clem Elephant KONG Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
Finn says, "Kong actually does run away along with everyone else."
DM says, "Ha ha"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong ROSIE Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
Rosie calls to Finn "Do you think you're safe back there?"
DM says, "Rosie is back on the ground since she leapt off last time"
Clem says (to Rosie), "If you can grab Finn, I can teleport us away!"
Clem says, "Or, like, we could just run."
Rosie says (to Clem), "I think it's done."
Rosie says, "But who knows."
Rosie hops up on the elephant's back again, for lack of anything better to do.
Rosie rolls 1d20+5 for dex: 12+5 | 17
Rosie thwaps it while she's up here.
DM says, "Actually, that's the front"
DM says, "and it's on fire"
[Crows-Nest] Paulie snorts.
[tomb] Finn says, "Excellent."
[tomb] Clem says, "Er um."
Rosie swooshes through the fire.
Rosie rolls 1d20+14 for reflex: 4+14 | 18
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a1: 15+13 | 28
Rosie rolls 1d10+3 for damage: 10+3 | 13
[tomb] Rosie says, "Hey, max damage."
[tomb] Rosie says, "The reflex was for the fire. If I save for half and save, I take no damage; if I save for half and fail, I take half damage anyway."
[tomb] DM says, "Rosie manages to leap over the fire and onto the elephant and pummels it a bit"
[tomb] DM says, "for a disappointing amount of damage, as usual"
[tomb] Rosie says, "But the *maximum* disappointing amount of damage."
[tomb] DM says, "Right"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie FINN Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
Finn says, "Well, I'm basically hoping the thing goes through the doors and all the way west before turning north. So I'm readying an action so that, once the thing has passed me, I'll run in behind it and out those doors and away."
DM says, "All right"
Finn says, "If it immediately turns north, I guess I have a reflex save ahead."
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie GROG Crumbli Ebezar"
Grog jumps the pit.
DM asks, "To the south?"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "*Can* I jump to the west without doing a weird difficult roll?"
[tomb] DM says, "If you stop and take your time, you can step over the pit to the west with no problem"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Hrm. Well, it's hard to say, but I guess Grog *might* be able to do that."
[tomb] DM says, "That is fine"
Grog carefully jumps the pit to the west.
[tomb] DM says, "but being careful about it takes the whole round"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog CRUMBLI Ebezar"
[tomb] Paulie says, "But I have to say that I don't want to set a 'Grog stops to take his time' precedent about things. It'd be bad for his reputation."
[tomb] DM says, "Ha"
Crumbli says, "I levitate and push myself into the eastern branch."
DM says, "All right - you can see that it ends on a door after 30 feet"
DM says, "Clem Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli EBEZAR"
Ebezar says, "Careful not to trip on my stylish robes, I step carefully into the west branch around the pit."
DM says, "ROUND 6"
DM says, "CLEM Elephant Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
Clem says, "I'll fly over the elephant."
Clem says, "And ahead of it."
DM asks, "OK, how far ahead?"
DM says, "Your speed is 40' per movement round so you can basically go as far as you want"
Clem says, "As far as possible, looking for Finn."
DM says, "Well, you get through the doors and see him, with a little movement left to spare"
[tomb] Rosie says, "You find him at negative-e/5."
Finn says, "Hi, buddy."
Clem asks, "Could I carry him?"
DM says, "Uh, let's see"
Clem says, "My name's Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you!"
[tomb] (from Finn) Finn says, "Damn -- I shouldn't have readied an action to attack the first thing that comes through the door."
DM says, "It doesn't look like Finn calculated the weight of his possessions"
[Crows-Nest] (from Eolo) DM says "So I'll have to rule he doesn't have any"
DM says, "You're carrying 74 already"
[Crows-Nest] G2 says, "the elephant lurches forward and depantses him"
Rosie asks, "Can you pass him up to me?"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Oh, not /again/."
DM says, "Your strength is 14, so you can carry up to 175 lbs"
Rosie asks, "Or drop something you're carrying and I'll grab it?"
DM says, "So no, that's not going to work"
Clem says, "Most of my weight is actually my armour."
Clem says (to Finn), "Well, uh, hi!"
DM says, "He's probably over 175 just by himself, even without his possessions"
[tomb] Paulie says, "And you're not wearing anything underneath it."
[tomb] Rosie says, "Ah, cool breezes blowing through the armor chinks."
Clem says, "Oh, I'll just land and think really hard."
DM says, "Where"
DM asks, "?"
Rosie exclaims (at Clem), "Don't land! The elephant's coming!"
Clem says, "The far corner of the room."
Clem says, "And good point, I won't quite land."
DM says, "Clem ELEPHANT Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
Clem says (to Finn), "If it traps us here we can teleport out, but feel free to think of something more cunning."
DM says, "The elephant backs up north, turns, and backs up through the doors"
DM says, "all the way to the wast wall"
[tomb] Clem says, "Whoops, I was looking at the wrong map."
[tomb] Clem says, "I hadn't realised it had advanced that far!"
Finn cheers.
DM says, "Clem Elephant KONG Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
Finn says, "Surely Finn's readied action occurs now."
DM says, "Oh yeah"
Finn says, "So out, south, away, etc."
DM says, "Well, let me check about readied actions"
Finn says, "Ok."
DM says, "OK, you get a move action, and your initiative changes to be right before the elephant"
DM says, "So you get through the doors and start heading down the corrdiro"
DM says, "and will get to act again before it next round"
DM says, "Clem Finn Elephant KONG Rosie Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
Finn says, "Kong follows, oh, let's say Grog."
[tomb] Rosie says, "If it's stopped, I say Clem and I just pummel the thing for an hour until it breaks down."
DM says, "Clem Finn Elephant Kong ROSIE Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
Rosie punch punch punch.
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a1: 11+13 | 24
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a2: 4+13 | 17
Rosie rolls 1d20+8 for a3: 20+8 | 28
DM says, "One hit"
Rosie rolls 1d10+3 for damage: 2+3 | 5
[tomb] Clem says, "It seems like we might as well land on it, yeah."
DM says, "for no damage"
[tomb] Clem says, "Oh, I forgot my spiritual weapon last round."
[tomb] Clem says, "But that has been having no effect whatsoever so who cares."
[tomb] Rosie says, "It did a bit of damage last time."
[tomb] DM says (to Clem), "Go ahead"
Rob_2 has disconnected.
Rob_2 vooms himself somewhere else.
Clem rolls 1d20+11: 2+11 | 13
Clem rolls 1d20+6: 4+6 | 10
[tomb] Clem says, "Ha ha ha."
[tomb] DM says, "It has no effect whatsoever so who cares"
[tomb] Rosie laughs.
DM says, "Clem Finn Elephant Kong Rosie Paulie GROG Crumbli Ebezar"
[tomb] Paulie says, "WIth better attack rolls, Grog could damage it, provided he was still raging."
[tomb] Clem asks (of G'taar), "How could you MISS a HUGE ELEPHANT??"
Paulie sets Paulie down on the ground and tries to wake him.
[tomb] Clem says, "I could buff Grog up a bit, maybe, but only for a few rounds."
[tomb] DM says, "Well, it's hitting but bouncing off"
Grog sets Paulie down on the ground and tries to wake him.
[tomb] Clem says, "I don't see what we'd actually gain by killing this."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "it's weird how d&d has both DR and AC"
[tomb] Clem says, "Stopping it would be just as good."
DM says, "Grog slaps Paulie a few times, but his sleep must be magical or something"
DM says, "Clem Finn Elephant Kong Rosie Paulie Grog CRUMBLI Ebezar"
Crumbli says, "I approach the door to the east. Searching is a full-round action, so I can't move and do it this round, but I prepare myself mentally for searching."
[tomb] Paulie says, "Stopping is good too. Killing is just a way to ensure stopping."
[tomb] Rosie says, "Mostly I just want to disable it so that we can get Crumbli in here to check the walls."
DM says, "Actually, Paulie does wake up, my mistake"
DM says, "Clem Finn Elephant Kong Rosie Paulie Grog Crumbli EBEZAR"
[Crows-Nest] Rosie RTA 'Paulie wakes up by mistake'
[tomb] Clem says, "Might be worth getting Crumbli on top of it to look for a stop button."
[Crows-Nest] nothing_else says, "Don't forget he hasn't seen it yet"
[Crows-Nest] Rosie says, "I guess he does fly."
[Crows-Nest] nothing_else says, "so yeah, he may think that"
Ebezar says, "I'm enjoying the view from a side of the pit away from the construct."
[Crows-Nest] Rosie says, "ilac"
[Crows-Nest] Rosie says, "Hee"
DM says, "ROUND 7"
Paulie asks, "Wha? What happened?"
DM says, "CLEM Finn Elephant Kong Rosie Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
[Crows-Nest] Rosie says, "The advancing of rounds is as relentless as the elephant."
DM says (to Paulie), "Recap"
Clem says, "Still got like 8 minutes of flight here."
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "like the log underneath the feet of a mammoth, so are the rounds of our lives"
Clem says, "I'll land on top of it and hack away until I do a couple of points of damage."
[Crows-Nest] nothing_else says, "hahaha"
Clem asks, "One attack? Or do I have to roll anything to land on it?"
DM says, "OK, you get one attack"
Clem rolls 1d20+11: 7+11 | 18
[Crows-Nest] Rosie exclaims, "Spiritual weapon!"
DM says, "and, yeah"
Clem rolls 1d20+11: 9+11 | 20
Clem rolls 1d20+6: 6+6 | 12
[tomb] Clem says, "Sigh."
DM says, "No dice"
[tomb] Clem says, "I have some buffing-up spells I can use but it seems like a waste."
[tomb] Paulie says, "Now that I'm awake, I could try acid arrows."
DM says, "Clem ELEPHANT Kong Rosie Finn Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
Finn coughs slightly.
DM says, "I mean"
[tomb] Paulie says, "Touch attack, and magical. So it could bypass armor and DR."
DM says, "Clem FINN Elephant Kong Rosie Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
DM says, "Sorry, was copying from an obsolete place"
Finn scootches south, out, etc.
[tomb] Rosie says, "No sense wasting them now."
DM says, "The elephant starts moving forward again"
[tomb] Paulie says (to Rosie), "If we're going to be resting right after this, one could argue there's no sense not wasting them."
Rosie says, "Oh, man."
[tomb] Ebezar asks, "oh, we're resting after this?"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "EMPOWERD FIREBALL"
[tomb] Rosie asks, "Do they regenerate?"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "I dunno. Are we?"
DM says, "You can see how far it got on the map"
[tomb] Rosie says, "(the arrows)"
[tomb] Clem says, "Seems like we can just explore east or south of the pit."
[tomb] Paulie says, "Some of us are kinda beaten up."
[tomb] Paulie says, "And Grog will be rage-less."
DM says, "Clem Finn Elephant KONG Rosie Paulie Grog Crumbli Ebezar"
DM says, "If none of the rest of you are re-entering combat, we can skip everyone else"
Finn says, "Kong ain't."
Paulie and Grog are waiting.
Crumbli says, "I'm certainly not"
Ebezar twiddle twiddle.
DM says, "OK, Rosie then"
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a1: 14+13 | 27
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a2: 3+13 | 16
DM says, "Also, afk a couple minutes"
Rosie rolls 1d20+8 for a3: 7+8 | 15
Rosie rolls 1d10+3 for damage: 2+3 | 5
Rosie flails ineffectually at the elephant.
[tomb] Clem says, "This fight is totally embarrassing."
[tomb] Rosie asks, "Assuming everyone is out of its way and that it does nothing surprising, can we just say that Clem and I hack at it until we finally make it stop?"
[tomb] Clem says, "We've had like 50 attacks and done about 10 damage total."
[tomb] Clem says, "And it hasn't even attacked at all but half the party is half-dead."
[tomb] Rosie says, "Hey, trample is an attack."
[tomb] Rosie says, "And it only got to do that once."
[tomb] Clem says, "More like simple carelessness."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "I can unleash actual damage on it if we want, or at least try to"
DM says, "back"
DM says, "One of those hits"
[tomb] Rosie says, "If there was a timed thing we needed to get to I'd say go for it, but I think there's no rush."
[tomb] Clem says, "I have Searing Light."
DM says, "Oh, you rolled it"
DM says, "and did no damage"
[tomb] Clem says, "And a couple of attack bonus spells."
DM says, "OK, I guess we go back around to Clem"
Clem says, "FULL ATTACK"
Clem rolls 1d20+11: 5+11 | 16
Clem rolls 1d20+6: 3+6 | 9
Clem says, "DRAT"
Clem rolls 1d20+11: 13+11 | 24
Clem rolls 1d20+6: 17+6 | 23
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "when you do a full attack, I imagine you windmilling your arms like Pete Townshend"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar exclaims, "BA DAAAAH!"
DM says, "Finn"
[Crows-Nest] Clem says, "That would explain why I missed every time, yeah."
Finn continues to bravely run away.
DM says, "The elephant rolls some more"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "what you need is Roger Daltrey's mic to swing around instead"
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a1: 4+13 | 17
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a2: 20+13 | 33
Rosie rolls 1d20+8 for a3: 5+8 | 13
Rosie rolls 1d10+3 for damage: 10+3 | 13
Clem pauses in his windmilling to nod approvingly at Rosie's second punch.
DM says, "Then Rosie attacks it and scratches it a little"
DM says, "I'm going to stop updating the map unless something interesting happens"
DM says, "Clem"
Clem says, "Well, let us know when we get close to the southern door."
Clem says, "We might want to get off."
Rosie asks, "Do we?"
Clem says, "Otherwise --"
Clem rolls 1d20+11: 12+11 | 23
Clem rolls 1d20+6: 15+6 | 21
Clem rolls 1d20+11: 15+11 | 26
Clem rolls 1d20+6: 12+6 | 18
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Flaming Wheely Mammoth is a good name for a band."
Clem says, "Aha, G'taar hits."
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says, "'Harker Square... West 35th Street... Southern Door...'"
Clem says, "And with 1d8+3 he has a very very slim chance of doing 1hp damage, I suspect."
Clem rolls 1d8+3: 2+3 | 5
DM says, "No damage"
Clem says (to Rosie), "You know, my spiritual weapon is about to vanish, and my real weapon isn't doing much good either."
DM says, "Finn can run all the way to the pit now"
Finn cheers!
Rosie says, "I'm still doing a bit of damage now and again."
(From Finn) Kong sees his master returning, bringing to his eyes a certain inscrutible gleam.
Clem says, "Maybe the rest of the party can rest overnight while you finish it off."
Rosie says, "And there are places for people to hide if they want--the stairs and the north part of the room."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "ha ha"
DM says, "The elephant keeps rolling down the corrdiro"
DM says, "I keep typing that"
Rosie asks, "Can we get Crumbli to search while the elephant's going the other way?"
Rosie pauses to thwap some more.
DM says, "Rosie can roll some more dice if she wants"
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a1: 17+13 | 30
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a2: 3+13 | 16
Rosie rolls 1d20+8 for a3: 20+8 | 28
Rosie rolls 1d10+3 for damage: 2+3 | 5
Rosie rolls 1d10+3 for damage: 1+3 | 4
DM says, "No damage"
Rosie rolls her eyes.
[tomb] Clem asks, "Anyone have any bright ideas?"
[tomb] Finn asks, "Can't we send Grog up there?"
[tomb] Paulie says, "If you want Grog to fight, he can help."
DM says, "Clem"
[tomb] Finn says, "He's beefy enough to at least increase our damage per round, probably."
[tomb] Clem says, "Possibly I could dimension door some people up onto it."
[tomb] Paulie says, "I was waiting to see if he passed the doors."
[tomb] Paulie says, "Er, it."
Clem asks, "Which round is this?"
[tomb] Paulie says, "ALso, as I said, Paulie can acid arrow if you want."
DM says, "Like 10"
[tomb] Rosie says, "If we want to search the corridor and far room, Crumbli can follow it north, wait on the stairs, run into the room when it goes back by again, search the north part of the room whenever, then follow it out again, wait on the stairs, and run out when it gets back to the room."
Clem says, "Spiritual weapon lasts 9 rounds and I cast it in round 1."
DM says, "Yeah, your amazing spiritual weapon has winked out"
Clem says (to G'taar), "Thanks a bunch."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "it's 1 for 2 against big stone creatures"
Clem says, "I'll fly off and head south past the secret door."
Rosie says (to Clem), "Hey, he got us down here, at least."
[tomb] Paulie says, "Actually, I guess Grog's fatigued now."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "I can start with the scorching rays and fireballs and whatnot"
[tomb] Finn asks, "Can't Crumbli just hide on the ceiling when it comes by?"
[tomb] Rosie says, "It's stone."
[tomb] Rosie says, "That, too."
DM says, "OK, Clem flies all the way to the pit"
Clem says, "And basically rejoin the rest of the party."
Clem says, "We killed it!"
DM says, "Ha ha"
Rosie goes ahead and continues to thwap it.
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a1: 2+13 | 15
DM asks, "Is Finn doing anything now that he's back?"
Rosie rolls 1d20+13 for a2: 1+13 | 14
Clem says, "Okay, only joking, we barely scratched it."
Rosie rolls 1d20+8 for a3: 7+8 | 15
DM says (to Rosie), "Wait your turn"
Finn says, "Hey guys, thanks for not abandoning me."
Finn tells everyone about what he saw.
DM says, "I'll take that as a no"
Finn says, "Mmmhmmm."
DM says, "The elephant rolls all the way to the door, then backs up"
DM says (to Rosie), "Okay, NOW you miss three times"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Hee hee"
Clem says (to Rosie), "Oh, get back here."
Rosie asks, "Can we search that room, at least?"
Paulie says, "Possibly Crumbli could do it safely with the boots on."
Crumbli says, "But we've got another door right here..."
Rosie says, "If we search this now, we don't have to worry about the sleep affect again."
Rosie says, "Unless you want to go in alone, being immune and all."
Crumbli says, "Oh, okay. I levitate to the ceiling and start pushing my way down the corridor to the elephant nest."
Rosie's voice is getting fainter as she's talking from the back of a receding elephant.
DM says (to Crumbli), "By the way, there were no traps on that door to the east"
[tomb] Rosie says, "receeding"
Crumbli says, "OK, cool"
Ebezar says, "Do other members of the party wish me to unleash arcane might at this construct? It appears that we can bypass it if need be."
Clem says, "Let's hold fire."
Clem says, "Ow, ow, ow, hot, let's not do that."
[tomb] Rosie says, "snrk"
Clem says, "I say we leave the elephant alone and accept an honourable draw."
Clem says, "And search for pants elsewhere."
Rosie pummels the elephant while Crumbli searches. If it's not down by the time she's finished, she hops off the elephant and leaves with the party.
DM asks, "What exactly is Crumbli searching?"
[tomb] Rosie asks, "I forget--does taking 10 mean taking 10 minutes?"
[tomb] Finn says, "No"
[tomb] Paulie says, "The elephant next, I think."
Crumbli says, "the walls of the 20x20 room"
[tomb] Finn says, "Taking 10 means not trying especially hard. It takes the same amount of time as any other check."
[tomb] Rosie says, "Ah, OK."
[tomb] Finn says, "Taking 20 is trying really hard; it takes 20 times as long as a regular check (so usually 2 minutes.)"
Clem asks, "Who's lacking how many hit points, while we're waiting?"
Finn says, "Kong and I are down about 30 each or so."
DM says, "OK, by hanging out on the stairs at the right times, you're able to get to the room while the elephant is elsewhere"
Grog says, "Hurt bad."
Clem says, "Yikes, only 4 charges left in my wand."
DM says, "And you don't find anything special about the walls of the room at the end"
[tomb] Rosie asks, "Can I suggest we keep the wand in reserve now and use normal spells?"
Clem says, "1 for each of you trampled people."
[tomb] Paulie says, "Grog is at 35 out of 70, and Paulie's at 40 out of 48."
[tomb] Clem asks (of Rosie), "Hmm, why?"
[tomb] Paulie says, "(Since Paulie got potioned.)"
[tomb] DM says, "I have paulie at 35"
[tomb] Rosie says, "So that we'll have the want when we don't have anything else."
Crumbli says, "OK, I come back."
Crumbli asks, "Time to go east?"
[tomb] Paulie says (to DM), "OK. Maybe I added wrong."
[tomb] DM says, "22 + 13"
[tomb] Rosie says, "We keep using the wand and then not casting the normal cleric spells."
[tomb] Clem says (to Rosie), "But then I won't have any spells when we want them."
[tomb] Rosie says, "That's why we rest overnight."
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Taking ten means accepting a 10 as your d20 roll rather than actually rolling dice."
[tomb] Crumbli says, "And you can't do this if you're distracted by, say, combat."
DM says, "Time passes..."
[tomb] Rosie says, "OK, if it's about 8 rounds for the elephant to make it to the end and back, and it does it twice, that's 16 rounds of punching."

Clem rolls 3d8+9: 6 2 2+9 | 19
[tomb] Paulie says, "It seems there could have been a less... verbose way of doing that."
Clem says, "To heal Grog."
Clem rolls 1d8+5: 2+5 | 7
[tomb] Finn says, "Like roll 40d20 or something."
DM says, "OK, roll damage 14 times"
Clem says, "Likewise."

DM says, "OK, you scratch it a little"
Clem says, "Heh."
[tomb] Rosie says, "Hee hee"
[tomb] Finn asks, "Don't any of you punks have Power Attack?"
DM says, "It does not particularly appear harmed"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "So Grog got 26 HP?"
Clem rolls 2d8+9: 6 7+9 | 22
Rosie flips off the elephant when it gets to the door again.
Clem says, "To heal Paulie."
Rosie says, "Ah, that was invigorating."
DM says, "and you get the feeling that if you roll another hundred times, something exciting and bad will probably happen to dissuade you"
[tomb] Clem says, "Whoops, I miscounted the dice."
Finn says, "Heh"
[Crows-Nest] nothing_else says, "haha"
[tomb] Clem says, "Should be 24, not 22."
DM asks, "Meanwhile, who got healed for how much?"
[tomb] Clem says, "Er, 24 not 26."
Clem says, "Grog for 24 and Paulie for 22."
Clem says, "I scratched off some spells."
[tomb] Paulie says, "So Paulie's at full, and Grog's at 59/70."
Clem asks, "Who else? Finn?"
Paulie asks, "Do we want to rest for the night before going east?"
DM says, "Finn's at 36/75"
Clem rolls 2d8+9: 4 1+9 | 14
Clem rolls 2d8+9: 7 2+9 | 18
Crumbli says, "If we've just burnt our spells, that seems wise."
Clem says, "Both on Finn."
DM says, "and Kong's at 29/58"
Crumbli says, "We should camp on those stairs. It's the safest place in the whole dungeon, with that elephant guarding it."
Paulie drops tomb poll.
Clem says (to Crumbli), "Heh."
Paulie yawns.
DM asks, "OK, you're resting?"
Clem says, "Well, I guess I can heal everyone completely, then."
Paulie says, "Aye."
Clem does so.
DM says, "All righty"
Ebezar exclaims, "And I can fireball the construct!"
DM asks, "Are you camping out in here, or outside, or what?"
Rosie asks, "Are we camping out outside?"
Clem says, "Fuck, yeah, let's sit on the stairs and take pot-shots at the construct."
Paulie says, "I suppose I can throw my acid arrows at it before we rest, then."
Rosie says, "Camping out in the north half of the elephant room would be amusing."
Rosie says, "Might not get a lot of sleep, I guess."
[tomb] Finn | Prepared Spells: 5th: Call Lightning Storm; 4th: Dispel Magic, Flame Strike; 3rd: Call Lightning, Cure Moderate Wounds x 3; 2nd: Barkskin x 5; 1st: Cure Light Wounds x 6
Clem tries Searing Light on the construct.
[tomb] Finn afk 5.
Paulie says, "The stairs do seem reasonable, though. Provided the noise isn't too much."
Clem says, "I would prefer the corridor north of the pit."
DM says, "You're not really going to get any sleep there"
Clem says, "Sometimes I roll in my sleep, see."
Rosie says, "Oh, let's go outside, then."
Paulie goes to the double doors and hurls two acid arrows when the elephant comes near.
Crumbli says, "Camping on a staircase seems precarious."
DM says (to Clem), "It bounces off!"
Clem says, "Dammit!"
Paulie rolls 1d20+11: 14+11 | 25
Paulie rolls 1d20+11: 1+11 | 12
Rosie says, "There's the bottom of this pit. It seemed clean."
[tomb] Paulie says, "(Touch attacks.)"
DM says (to Paulie), "OK, those both hit"
DM says, "So might as well roll your total damage"
Paulie rolls 6d4: 4 3 1 3 3 4 | 18
Paulie rolls 6d4: 2 2 1 4 2 4 | 15
[tomb] Paulie says, "Three rounds times 2d4."
[tomb] DM says, "Righto"
Clem says, "When the elephant is at the southmost end of its track, I'll try Wall of Stone to block it in."
Ebezar says, "I'd like to cast my empowered fireball."
Rosie asks, "Why south?"
Clem says, "Making a wall that fills the corridor horizontally, with a little space at the top."
Rosie says (to Clem), "I'd block it off in its room, actually."
Ebezar asks, "If I might set fire to it first?"
Clem says, "I guess we did search its room already."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "ha ha ha"
Rosie exclaims (at Ebezar), "It's made of stone!"
Clem waits for Ebezar.
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "I think other fire has done a little damage to it already"
Paulie says (to Ebezar), "Don't let us stop you."
Ebezar says, "Fireball! <only in mystic language>"
[tomb] Rosie says (to Jota), "Can you change the poll to 'where do we rest?'"
[tomb] Rosie says, "I vote for outside."
[tomb] Paulie says, "I am 40% confident that this thing is going to blow up or curse us or release poison gas when we kill it."
[tomb] Ebezar asks, "I forget: does empowered mean roll the damage, and then multiply by 1.5?"
[tomb] Paulie says (to Rosie), "Sure, but you can too."
[tomb] Rosie says, "I don't see how."
Ebezar rolls 9d6: 3 3 1 4 4 4 4 5 3 | 31
DM says, "A huge fireball surrounds the rolling elephant!"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Oh, duh, tomb new poll."
DM says, "*fwoom*"
Paulie says, "This is kinda fun."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "if so, that's 46 damage, reflex save for half, assuming it does any damage"
DM says, "When the fireball dissipates, it looks exactly as it did before"
Ebezar says, "pity"
[tomb] Paulie says, "I'd like to see what kind of reflex save this thing gets."
[tomb] Paulie asks (of DM), "Did the acid appear to affect it?"
[tomb] DM says (to Paulie), "Yep"
[tomb] Rosie says, "OK, poll updated."
Paulie rolls 1d20+11: 3+11 | 14
Paulie rolls 6d4: 1 4 3 1 4 2 | 15
DM asks, "That's a third one?"
Paulie fires another arrow when it approaches.
DM says, "Sizzle sizzle"
DM says, "goes the elephizzle"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Should I save any magic for extradimensional rope spaces to sleep in?"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Or spend the rest on acid arrows?"
[tomb] Clem says, "ACID"
[tomb] Rosie asks, "Can we all fit?"
[tomb] Paulie says, "If I save four slots for Rope Trick, I can get us all through the night."
[tomb] Paulie says, "(Two spaces, refreshed once when they run out.)"
[tomb] Rosie says, "That sounds good to me."
Paulie fires off one last arrow, but saves the rest of his magic for now.
Paulie rolls 1d20+11: 11+11 | 22
Paulie rolls 6d4: 2 4 2 1 2 1 | 12
DM says, "All righty"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Ebezar, you're the final vote."
[tomb] Rosie says, "(I'd switch to 3 if need be)"
[tomb] DM says, "and Crumbli"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Oops, right."
Clem asks, "How damaged is it looking?"
DM says, "I dunno, it has a bunch of acid scars but it's still rolling back and forth with undiminished vigor"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "its trunk is drooping"
DM says, "Looks like the outsides have it"
Clem asks, "Okay, who wants to teleport?"
Rosie undams the acid from the big room when we go by, so it'll flow back down into the pit.
Paulie cuts off another short piece of rope.
Paulie exclaims (at Rosie), "Wiat!"
Rosie asks, "?"
Paulie asks, "Aren't there two other unexplored corridors down there?"
Rosie says, "There's lots of unexplored corridors."
Rosie says, "Not down the pit, though."
Paulie says, "Oh, sorry. The other pit."
DM asks, "OK, so everyone walks out?"
Paulie says, "There are so many pits here, I got a bit confused."
Rosie says, "Heh."
[tomb] Paulie says (to DM), "Yeah."
Crumbli says, "Yeah."
DM says, "All right, you emerge out into the warm sunshine"
[Crows-Nest] G2 says, "it's the Pit of Horrors"
DM says, "and wonder yet again why you ever bother with these fucking tombs"
DM says, "when nature's beauty is all around you"
DM says, "well, the beauty of a desolate swamp, anyway"
Paulie fires up a couple of nooks and crannies, since otherwise they'd have to actually sleep *outdoors*.
Crumbli says, "Swamps are beautiful in their own way."
DM says, "OK, next day!!"
Clem has lots of spells again!
[Crows-Nest] G2 says, "in the dismal swamps and pools / where dwell the ghouls!"
[Crows-Nest] G2 says, "ROLL INITIATIVE"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Did Grog get the rest of his HP back?"
[tomb] Clem says, "Sure, I had plenty of healing spells."
Grog exclaims, "Feel better now!"
DM says, "I guess Ebezar needs a new False Life"
Paulie asks (of Ebezar), "Another Armor?"
Ebezar says, "certainly"
Clem says, "Today I'm going to remember to cast Longstrider too."
Crumbli says, "Let's go back to Elephant Junction and go east this time."
Finn barkskins everyone who would like it.
Ebezar rolls 1d10+9: 8+9 | 17
Finn says, "Well, five everyones."
Paulie casts armor on Ebezar and himself.
[tomb] Ebezar says, "so an extra 17 HP today"
DM says, "I think the usuals are Clem, Crumbly, Ebezar, Paulie, and Rosie"
DM says, "for Barkskin"
Finn says, "Sounds good to me."
DM says, "Very well then"
Paulie asks, "And now to visit that door Crumbli was talking about?"
DM asks, "East from the central pit?"
Crumbli says, "I'm for it."
Rosie says, "Sure."
Crumbli says, "There's also the completely unexplored passage south."
Clem says, "Yup."
Clem says, "East first."
Rosie says, "And a couple other unexplored bits upstairs."
DM says, "OK, so there was that door"
[tomb] Clem asks, "How long have we been delving this dungeon now? Like a week?"
DM says, "which Crumbli found no traps on"
[tomb] Rosie says, "I think just 2 days."
[tomb] Finn says, "I prefer to measure time in ape lifespans."
[tomb] Paulie exclaims, "For the rest of our lives!"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Hey, that's right, Kong survived the whole day."
[tomb] DM says, "Ha ha"
[tomb] Clem says, "This is where another ape turns up and they fight."
Crumbli says, "So, I open the door."
[tomb] Paulie says, "Still a couple hours left in the session, though."
[tomb] Clem says, "Like in that Buffy episode."
[tomb] Paulie says, "I'm pretty shocked the rollers didn't get him."
DM says, "It reveals a 10x10 room!"
Crumbli asks, "No obvious exits?"
Rosie says, "Woo, more arrows."
DM says, "Nope"
Crumbli says, "I step inside."
Rosie says, "You might want to check for..."
DM says, "Roll a reflex save"
Rosie says, "er."
[Crows-Nest] G2 says, "...ha ha ha"
(From DM) Rosie says, "...piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiits"
[tomb] Paulie says, "You're now a hermaphroditic kobold with delusions of grandeur."
[tomb] DM says, "Ha ha ha"
[tomb] G2 says, "yay"
[tomb] Ebezar falls over.
DM says, "vs traps"
Crumbli rolls 1d20+10: 20+10 | 30
Crumbli says, "Plus 2 for trap"
[tomb] Finn afk 5.
DM says, "Crumbli looks pityingly at the feeble pit trap beneath her feet"
DM says, "Anyway, yet another one"
Crumbli says, "Poor, poor pit trap. Well, I float down the pit and search the walls, taking ten."
DM says, "You find nothing special about the walls"
Clem says, "Search the walls of the original room, too."
DM says, "nor those"
Crumbli says, "I float up and search the walls of the room atop the pit."
DM says, "Yeah, those were the 'nor those'"
Crumbli asks, "This ligh sure likes his pits, eh?"
Crumbli asks, "OK. South from the intersection, then?"
Clem says, "Well, Rosie's map still has a couple of unexplored corridors."
Rosie says, "I think he's lulling us into a false sense of insecurity."
Paulie asks, "Did Acererak run out of budget for outfitting this level after he bought the mammoth-mobile?"
[Crows-Nest] Rosie says, "Hunh, lag."
Rosie says, "Let's go south."
DM says, "Southwards the corridor continues for 50 feet before ending in a door"
Crumbli says, "Search the door, taking 10"
DM says, "You find no traps"
Crumbli says, "Open the door"
DM says, "http://www.hamesucken.com/tomb/12.jpg"
Ebezar says, "Clearly that isn't Crumbli in the picture."
[tomb] DM says, "(You would have found it if you still had your old equipment)"
[Crows-Nest] Rosie says, "Again? Sheesh."
Clem says, "Behind the door you find some startled dude with a sword."
DM says, "Ha ha"
DM says, "OK then"
DM says, "Crumbli"

[tomb] Rosie says, "Oh, whew, those weren't damage rolls."
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Are we flatfooted again?"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "I looked away and then back, saw the die rolls, and thought 'holy shit that's a lot of damage'"
DM says, "Finn"
Crumbli says, "My AC is currently 15, or 17 against traps."

[tomb] Clem says (to Finn), "Yoiks."
DM rolls 4d8: 4 8 5 5 | 22
[tomb] Clem asks, "What did you do to make the spears angry?"
[tomb] Finn says, "AC 27, so 4 spears in the head. For me."
DM says, "All righty, 11 hp for Crumbli, 13 for Grog, 22 for Finn"
DM says, "and there's a blank wall behind the door"
Clem heals while others search.
Paulie asks, "How do they fit all those long spears in a blank wall?"
[tomb] Clem says (to Rosie), "I guess I'll keep the wand in reserve like you said."
Paulie asks, "Are there at least holes or something in the wall?"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says (to Paulie), "ha ha ha"
G2 says, "horizontally. they just fall out"
Clem says, "Crumbli:"
Clem rolls 1d8+5: 8+5 | 13
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "Acererak brand folding spears"
G2 says, "er, vertically"
Clem says, "Grog:"
Clem rolls 1d8+5: 6+5 | 11
[Crows-Nest] G2 says, "in any CRPG you'd go out and rest again"
Clem says, "Finn:"
Crumbli says, "I search the blank wall, taking ten. Not that a 26 search check found that trap or anything."
Clem rolls 2d8+9: 2 8+9 | 19
Crumbli feels so useless
DM says, "You find nothing"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, ">UNDO"
[tomb] Clem says, "Hey, I just realised I can cast Locate Object again."
[tomb] Clem says, "(Just burned two 1st-level and a 2nd-level for healing.)"
[tomb] Finn says, "Hmmm I wonder of "phylacteries" is general enough."
Clem asks, "So, back around to the room near the bottom of Rosie's map?"
Rosie says, "Sure."
Rosie asks, "The door in the slime room?"
Crumbli says, "Let's go."
Finn has disconnected.
Finn has connected.
Paulie says, "OK."
Clem says, "Aha, I forgot which room that was."
Clem says, "It stopped shaking, I hope."
Rosie says, "No, it's still shaking."
DM says, "Yeah, still shaking"
Rosie says, "But there's no more slime."
Clem says, "I'm not too proud to crawl through."
Paulie says, "If that's what it takes."
Crumbli says, "I'm going to levitate and push myself through the shaky room."
DM says, "All right"
Clem says, "I'm at the back of the marching order so I don't think I even have to enter yet."
DM asks, "What next?"
Crumbli exclaims, "Through to the unexplored!"
Rosie says, "Search the door."
Ebezar says, "I shall shuffle along with the crowd."
Crumbli says, "We hadn't searched it yet? OK, I do that while still levitating."
DM asks, "Rolling or taking 10?"
Crumbli says, "NOT THAT THIS ALWAYS DOES ANY GOOD."
Crumbli says, "Taking 10."
[tomb] Rosie says, "I forget if we searched it or not, but I think we did not."
DM says, "You find no traps"
Rosie asks, "Shall I?"
Crumbli says, "I guess the mean result from rolling is 10.5."
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says, "Yeah, that's why taking 10 never made sense to me."
Crumbli asks, "Shall you what?"
Rosie says, "Open the door."
Crumbli says, "Go ahead."
Crumbli says, "Let me exit the room first."
Rosie opens the door, making sure nobody's standing right behind her.
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says, "It doesn't seem like guaranteeing yourself a worse-than-average result is really worthwhile."
DM says, "More spears"
DM says, "I forget whether your evasion helps with that"
[tomb] Rosie asks, "I guess I don't get a reflex save?"
[tomb] Finn says, "(aside) There's a medieval re-enactment unit that calls themselves the Brittany Spears."
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Can you deflect like an arrow?"
DM says, "Oh, it was Deflect Arrows"
DM checks
[tomb] Rosie says, "My evasion helps with reflex checks."
DM | Once per round when you would normally be hit with a ranged weapon, you may deflect it so that you take no damage from it.
[Crows-Nest] G2 says, "what this game needs is some sort of "see-through-doors" or "have-a-god-tell-you-what's-behind-each-door" thing"
[tomb] Rosie says, "And yeah, that."
DM | Unusually massive ranged weapons and ranged attacks generated by spell effects can?t be deflected.
DM says, "I will still be a sport and automatically miss one of these spears"
DM rolls 1d6: 2 | 2
DM rolls 1d20+23: 2+23 | 25
[Crows-Nest] Paulie asks, "Like a clerical spell that lets you ask your deity one question?"
DM rolls 1d8: 4 | 4
DM says, "so only 4hp"
[Crows-Nest] G2 says, "sort of, but more than one"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Or more like some sort of servant who would be unseen"
DM says, "and behind the door, a blank wall"
Rosie exclaims, "Ow!"
josh_g has become like unto tiny refreshing GODS!
Crumbli asks, "OK, what's left?"
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says, "Yeah, maybe we should switch to mage handing these doors."
Rosie says, "The corridor outside here."
[Crows-Nest] G2 says (to Finn), "yeah, maybe like a djinn that can do stuff for you"
Crumbli says, "Right."
Clem says, "Hey, nice work deflecting that spear."
Crumbli asks, "Shall we?"
Clem says, "Er, until that other spear hit you in the leg."
Clem says (to Crumbli), "Lead on."
Rosie says (to Clem), "Well, sometimes you dodge the spear, and sometimes the spear dodges you."
Paulie asks, "Did you check the blank wall for secrets?"
Rosie says, "Or something."
DM asks, "The corridor to the south of the shaky room?"
[tomb] Rosie says (to DM), "Right."
[Crows-Nest] G2 says, "(that 'clerical spell' is divination?)"
Paulie says, "I hear there are sometimes doors hidden behind fake doors."
Rosie says (to Paulie), "That hasn't been true of the spear doors so far, but you never know."
Crumbli says, "Oh, might as well. I go in (levitating) and search the blank wall behind the door."
Crumbli says, "Taking ten."
DM says, "You find nothing"
Crumbli says, "OK! Corridor."
[tomb] DM says, "This is hurting me more than it's hurting you"
Clem asks, "Why do I get the feeling that there was a 10-for-1 on spear doors at the local Dungeon-U-Like?"
Rosie says, "Also, I have detected an aversion by the architect of this place to put rooms on top of other rooms, as though they wanted to be able to map the entire tomb on a single sheet of paper."
Rosie says, "And there's not a lot of space behind this door."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says (to Rosie), "ha ha ha"
DM says, "The corridor goes to the east another 40 feet after the door to the shaky room"
DM says, "and ends in a dead end"
Crumbli says, "Maybe I should start taking 20s on those search checks."
Rosie says, "Sounds good to me."
Ebezar says, "It is true that we have all month."
Crumbli says, "OK, I search all three walls of the dead end, taking TWENTIES. That's six minutes."
DM says, "You find nothing"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "while he's doing that, Rosie can finish off the elephant"
Rosie says, "Well, I say we check the downstairs pits again, taking 20's this time."
Rosie says, "With particular focus on the north walls."
Clem says, "I am going to cast Locate Object on the pants again."
Crumbli says, "Then I want to go back to the wall behind the door in the shaky room and take 20 there."
DM says (to Crumbli), "Nothing there either"
DM asks (of Clem), "From where?"
Rosie says (to Clem), "Go downstairs for that, so you can check the elephant corridor."
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Can someone send me the description of the shaky room? I somehow missed it and then got discoed."
Clem says, "Let's say starting west of the shaky room."
Rosie says, "According to this map, that corridor is the closest we've been to them so far."
Clem says, "Northwest."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "It was from last session"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "it was from -- yeah"
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says, "It's in http://strackenz.spod-central.org/~lpsmith/rpg/transcripts/tomb/tomb4.html"
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Oh; I guess that explains it."
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Ok thanks."
Crumbli says, "Actually, there's a good explanation for the rooms not being stacked on top of each other:"
Clem asks, "Pants, O Pants, wherefore are thou vanished?"
Rosie asks (of Clem), "Top of the stairs, then?"
Clem says, "Yeah."
Crumbli says, "He wouldn't be able to put hundred-foot pits in arbitrary places then."
Clem says, "Heh."
Rosie says, "Wait! Take the boots."
Rosie says, "Then levitate down the big pit to see how deep they are."
[Crows-Nest] Finn says, "Geez, I'm sorry I asked."
Clem asks, "Where are those pants?"
Crumbli unlaces the boots
DM says (to Clem), "They're east by northeast from the top of those stairs"
Clem walks to the edge of the pit.
Clem asks, "Where are they from the corridor just south of the elephant?"
Clem asks, "And how high?"
[tomb] Finn says, "Sorry all, but I'm needed back in Real Life for the remainder of today."
[tomb] Finn says, "Good luck, everyone."
DM says, "They are east of of the door to the elephant"
[tomb] DM says, "All righty"
[tomb] Finn says, "If anyone wants to puppet Finn or Kong, feel free."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "right, Finn opens all doors from now on."
Clem asks (of Crumbli), "Hmm, can you search the east wall around here?"
[tomb] DM says, "Ha ha"
[tomb] Rosie asks (of DM), "Due east, or down, too?"
[tomb] DM says, "and down"
Clem says, "My pants-sense is tingling."
[tomb] Crumbli says, "OK. Give me those boots back. I'm going to do a more thorough search of that 10x10 room."
Rosie says (to Clem), "I suggest going down the 100' pit next."
Crumbli says, "Oh. Keep the boots for that."
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Was there any verical component to the pants-signal?"
Crumbli says, "You can get a reasing on how far down they are that way. Just keep descending until they're level with you."
[tomb] Rosie | [tomb] DM says, "and down"
Clem says, "Okay, I'll do that."
Crumbli says, "Meanwhile, I will search the east wall where Clem pointed, taking twenty."
DM says, "OK they're like 30 feet down or so"
DM says, "from the current floor level"
DM says (to Crumbly), "You find nothing"
G2 says, "CSB"
Rosie asks (of Clem), "Still got time? Want to try the east corridor and take another reading?"
G2 has disconnected.
G2 goes home.
DM says, "He has a little time"
Clem rushes to try Rosie's suggestion.
DM says, "Your reading is changing often enough now that you can triangulate a bit"
Crumbli says, "Say, that's a good idea. We have a perfect set o coordinate axes here."
DM says, "It's basically 60 feet or so due east from the door to the elephant"
Grog asks, "Axes?"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "if it's axes, you should be talking to Grog"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "ha ha"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "hee hee"
Rosie marks a green X on her map.
Clem says, "Hey you guys, with my Int of 10 I was able to calculate the precise position of the pants by sheer brain power."
G2 has arrived.
Clem says, "Okay, maybe there's a secret passage inside the double doors room."
Paulie says, "We could try to stone shape our way through the walls until we reach something."
Crumbli says, "Sounds like it's time to trap the elephant, then."
Ebezar says, "I can encase it in an immovable sphere of force for a duration of nine minutes"
Ebezar says, "but a more permanent form of immobilization would be welcome."
(From DM) Ebezar says, "such as EMPOWERED FIREBALL"
Clem says, "Could try Wall of Stone, I guess."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "ha ha"
Crumbli says, "That's long enough for me to take twenties on four search checks."
Crumbli asks, "I wonder how many Stone Shape casts it would take to burrow that far?"
[tomb] Rosie asks, "Wait--no result from taking 20's in the 10x10 room?"
[tomb] DM says, "No result from taking 20's in the 10x10 room"
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Yeah, let's check that first."
Crumbli says, "OK"
[tomb] Rosie asks, "How about taking 20's from 30' down the 100' pit?"
Paulie says, "I could law several more arrows on it."
Crumbli says, "Who wants to immobilize the elephant? I'll just wait here until you call for me."
Rosie says (to Paulie), "Maybe if you targetted the rollers it wouldn't be able to move so well."
Crumbli asks, "The elephant is made of stone?"
Rosie says, "It sure looked like it, yeah."
Rosie says, "And acted like it."
Paulie says, "Felt like it, too."
Rosie rubs her palms from where she was pummelling it the other day.
Crumbli asks, "Does Stone Shape work on constructs?"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo asks, "but did anyone taste it? anybody?"
Crumbli says, "Probably not."
Rosie says, "We could also ask G'Taar where the next secret door we missed is."
Paulie says (to Crumbli), "I believe Finn said it was possible, but unlikely to succeed."
Crumbli says, "I guess I might as well search the pit while you're deciding how to immobilisze the elephant."
DM asks, "Which pit?"
Crumbli says, "Oh, right, there's two."
Crumbli says, "Try the one in the 10x10 room first. Levitate 30 feet down and take 20 searching the north wall."
DM says, "Nothing"
[tomb] Rosie asks, "Oh, the 10x10 room pit is also very deep?"
[tomb] DM says, "THey"
[tomb] DM says, "They're both 100 feet deep"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Hunh."
Clem starts preparing another Divination.
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Was there anything like an axle or other mechanically significant point in the rollers?"
[tomb] DM says, "Nah"
Crumbli asks, "OK, I'm back from searching the pit. Have you dealt with the elephant yet or should I kill some more time?"
Paulie fires another arrow, this time specifically aiming for the rollers.
Paulie rolls 1d20+11: 6+11 | 17
DM says, "It hits"
Rosie says (to Crumbli), "I say keep searching."
Paulie rolls 6d4: 4 2 3 1 4 1 | 15
Rosie says, "Unless you want to wait for G'taar's answer."
Crumbli says, "I really think it's unlikely for there to be a secret door partway down a pit, for what it's worth."
(From DM) Crumbli says, "It just doesn't seem lawful."
[tomb] Rosie says, "afk a sec"
Clem casts his spell.
DM says, "Roll your d100"
Clem says, "O most awesome lord! We have delved deep and wandered far / fought green slime and elephants / and now we're stuck and kind of pissed."
Clem asks, "So we ask you dear G'taar / where the hell are Crumbly's pants? / where's the secret door we missed?"
Clem rolls 1d100: 74 | 74
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "whew"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "also hooray"
DM says, "YOU MUST GO THROUGH THE FLOOR BEYOND THE DOOR / TO THE ELEPHANT CORRIDOR / AT LEAST THAT'S THE GENERAL GIST"
[tomb] Clem says, "Man, another 25gp bites the dust."
[tomb] Paulie says, "I wonder what sacrificial offering Clem uses in his divinations."
[tomb] Clem says, "I hope these bets work out."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "golden diamond-encrusted picks"
[tomb] Paulie says (to Clem), "Don't worry. I notice that the last one you made was actually for 10hp, not gp."
[tomb] Clem says, "Heh."
[tomb] Paulie asks (of Ebezar), "He's wasting our *diamonds*?"
[tomb] Ebezar asks, "*wasting*? do you want g'taar to smite you?"
[tomb] Clem says (to Paulie), "Well, it's okay as long as I don't have to resurrect somebody big."
[tomb] Clem says, "So you shouldn't complain."
[tomb] Eolo says, "ha ha"
[tomb] DM says, "I was wondering about that 10hp bet"
Crumbli says, "OK. Time to immobilize the elephant, sounds like."
Paulie asks, "Immobilize or destroy?"
Ebezar says, "Let's try immobilizing with a wall of stone"
(From DM) Ebezar waggles his fingers
Clem says, "That works."
Clem asks, "Trap it in the room at the top?"
Ebezar says, "Certainly."
Crumbli asks, "Is the wall of stone permanent?"
Clem says, "I believe so."
[tomb] Eolo says, "yeah"
[tomb] DM | Duration: Instantaneous
[tomb] Eolo says, "it's a normal stone wall once created"
[tomb] DM says, "So it disappears right away"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "ha ha"
Crumbli asks, "Can we trap it by the stairs? Is that the plan?"
Clem says, "Looks like I can make it 10x10ft and about 2 inches thick."
Clem says, "Or maybe a shorter wall would be enough to stop it."
Rosie says, "I would think we should trap it in its room."
Clem says, "Yeah, same here."
Paulie says, "I'd go with a shorter wall, yeah."
Crumbli asks, "Like, five feet tall and 4 inches thick?"
Clem says, "Otherwise we'll just be clambering back and forth over it."
Clem says (to Crumbli), "Sounds good."
Rosie asks, "Maybe cover the lower half of the door to its room?"
Clem tries that, anyway.
DM asks, "OK, so you're making that wall in front of the doors to its room while it's in the room?"
Clem says, "Yup."
Crumbli asks, "Is the elephant still charging back and forth in throughout its habitrail?"
DM says (to Crumbli), "Yeah"
DM says (to Clem), "You do so"
DM says, "The doors bang once again the wall"
DM says, "and then stop"
Crumbli says, "Cool"
(From DM) Elephant :(
Clem says, "I wonder if we only had to shut the door or something stupid like that."
[Crows-Nest] nothing_else says, "Now it activates its teleporter..."
Crumbli says, "The elephant is capable of opening doors."
Crumbli says, "I had closed the saloon door in the beginning."
Crumbli says, "OK. Let's take some twenties. First spot: the floor just inside the first door."
Paulie says, "Curse those constructs with opposable thumbs."
DM says, "I think spot is passive"
DM says, "but you can search"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "ba-dum-bum"
Crumbli says, "I meant spot in the sense of location."
DM says, "Aha"
DM says, "You find a secret trap door!!"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo exclaims, "!!!"
Crumbli exclaims, "Hooray!"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "also, YM "Hoo--- aieeeeeeee"
Clem asks, "Is it really a trap if it didn't open as soon as somebody glanced towards it?"
Crumbli says, "The word 'trap' refers to any door in a horizontal surface."
[Crows-Nest] (from Eolo) Crumbli says "If you were any kind of door expert you'd know this"
Crumbli says, "Also, to a kind of carriage."
Crumbli says, "I fling open the trap door."
DM says, "It reveals a steep flight of narrow stairs spiraling downward!"
Crumbli says, "I descend. Say, it suddenly occurs to me that the light spell on my chalk probably ran out last night."
Clem asks, "Want another one?"
Crumbli says, "Yes."
Paulie follows in marching order.
Clem says, "I got a big bag of chalk back in Local Village."
Clem says, "Actually, this is before bags, I guess it's a chalkskin or something."
Crumbli says, "Also, do it retroactively before I went by myself to search that pit."
DM says, "It ends in a narrow crawlway heading north"
Crumbli says, "North? Not the right direction."
Crumbli says, "But let's folow it, maybe it curves around."
DM says, "The crawlway goes north a hundred feet or so"
Paulie follows in marching order.
Crumbli crawl crawl
Rosie says, "I guess you could search the walls down there."
DM says, "and emerges into a corridor heading east"
Crumbli says, "That's the right direction."
Clem says, "Yay east!"
Crumbli asks, "How far down did the stairs go, by the way?"
DM says, "It is almost as if that crazy architect still couldn't stand to have two map features on top of each other"
DM says, "I dunno, maybe 20 feet"
Crumbli says, "The hundred-foot crawlway make me think he got confused about what direction the put trap was supposed to go."
Crumbli says, "pit"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "ha"
Crumbli says, "OK, let's go down this corridor."
Clem says, "Yes!"
Clem says, "Let's!"
DM says, "It goes 50 feet to the east and ends in an odd door"
Crumbli says, "I stick by the south wall, hoping for my elvish secret door detection to kick in."
DM says, "Made of some gleaming metal"
Crumbli says, "I search it, taking 20."
DM says, "and reinforced with massive hinges"
DM says, "and with three vertical slots in it, around waist height"
DM says, "each about 1 inch wide and 3 inches tall"
DM says, "All your search reveals is that the door is really really well put together"
Crumbli asks, "OK. Is there a handle? Can we maybe just open it?"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "By 'waist', you mean 'shoulder', right?"
DM says, "Nope, the slots are the only feature"
Crumbli says, "(It's worth a try.)"
Crumbli says, "So. Slots."
Paulie asks, "What do we have that's one by three inches?"
Rosie asks, "Something we got from the gargoyle statue?"
Rosie checks her list of clues.
Paulie asks, "The gems?"
[tomb] Paulie says, "So, looking at the clues, I see 'These keys and those are most important of all, and beware of trembling hands and what will maul.'"
[tomb] Clem says, "I guess the elephant mauls."
Crumbli says, "That could refer to the shaky green slime room and the elephant."
[tomb] Paulie says, "Which could perhaps mean 'those gems are the key to getting past the really important door much later on, so don't stick them in the hands of anything that's likely to crush them to powder'."
[Crows-Nest] Ghogg asks, "bleh, what's the teleport command again?"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "dtt"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Ha ha"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "How many gems have we left?"
[tomb] DM says, "Let's see, you used 6 out of the 10 from the gargoyle"
Paulie asks (of Crumbli), "Can you pick locks like this?"
Clem asks, "Hang on, we have a key, don't we?"
Rosie says, "Oh, right."
Clem says, "Which we haven't used for anything yet."
[tomb] DM says, "and 3 out of the 10 from the lich"
Rosie says, "The one we mended."
Paulie says, "Oh yeah."
[tomb] Paulie says, "So, we could try putting three of the lich ones in. Then we'd have four of each left."
DM says, "That key is a lot smaller than 1 inch by 3 inches"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Hee hee hee"
[tomb] Eolo says, "you have some sapphires or something from the chests in the shaky room, too"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Are they roughly the right size for the slots, or are they notably smaller?"
Crumbli says, "The slots aren't exactly the right shape to receive gems either."
[tomb] Paulie says (to Eolo), "Yeah, but those are just sapphires, not *GEM*s."
Clem asks (of Ebezar), "Could you cast a fireball through this slot?"
[tomb] Eolo says, "hee hee"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "ha ha ha"
[tomb] DM says (to Paulie), "the gems? they're quite a bit smaller"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "it is too bad that 3e got rid of the thing where fireballs expanded to fill the full volume"
Paulie asks, "Anyone want to risk their eye to peer inside?"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "the blowback would be impressive"
DM says, "Ebezar seems the natural choice"
Crumbli says, "If the DM allows it, I will try an Open Lock check, taking 20."
[tomb] Rosie says, "You can always *try*"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "hee hee, yeah"
Crumbli says, "Which would come to 36."
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says (to Clem), "also, the answer is 'yes as long as the fireball bead doesn't touch the sides of the slot on the way through"
DM says, "Crumbli spends some time examining this and that"
DM says, "and comes to the conclusion that there's no evident way to open the door"
Crumbli says, "Thought as much."
DM says, "so it's probably going to have to involve these slots"
Paulie says, "Right. Well, back upstairs, then."
Rosie says, "I guess we could cast Identify."
Crumbli says, "We need keycards of some sort."
Paulie says (to Rosie), "The last few times I tried that, it wasn't much good. But sure, why not."
Paulie says, "After all other practical alternatives have been tried."
Grog looks inside one of the slots.
Clem says, "I could just stick my big flaming sword in there."
Clem says, "Man, that sounds dirty."
Ghogg has arrived.
DM says (to Grog), "The slot seems to get narrower as it recedes"
[tomb] Crumbli finishes searching the transcripts. No 1-inch-by-3-inch objects have been mentioned.
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says (to Ghogg), "they've travelled through a narrow crawlway and have ended up outside a big metal door with three slots in it, 1" wide and 3" high, getting narrower as they go in"
Clem asks, "We didn't find a triangular prism anywhere, did we?"
Rosie says, "Not that I can think of."
Rosie says, "We haven't found much of anything, frankly."
Clem says, "I guess I could ask G'taar for more help."
Clem says, "As the saying goes, God helps he who asks for help all the time."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "ha ha ha"
Crumbli says, "I'm going to go back to the stairs and search for secret doors some more."
DM says, "The squeaky string gets the grease"
Rosie says, "Some gold in the chapel seats, gargoyle collar, ring, crystal box for the ring, lich box with gems, and gold/sapphires from the shaky room."
Rosie says, "Hmm."
Rosie pulls out the crystal box, sees if it would in any way fit.
DM asks (of Crumbli), "The stairs that led down here from the trap door?"
DM says (to Rosie), "Doesn't seem promising"
Clem spends a few minutes preparing Divination in his spare 5th-level slot.
(From DM) G'taar says, "WUSS"
Crumbli says, "Yes. At the bottom of the stairs, I want to search the wall to the east."
Crumbli says, "Taking 20."
Paulie tries poking a penny in there.
DM says (to Crumbli), "The stairs ended in a corridor to the east"
DM says, "So there's no wall there"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Eh? I thought the first corridor was north."
[tomb] Rosie says, "From the bottom of the spiral staircase."
DM says (to Paulie), "It disappears from sight"
[tomb] DM says, "Oh, yeah, okay"
Clem says, "Hmm, I could just try Dimension Dooring behind this door."
DM says, "Nothing there"
Paulie says, "Huh."
DM says, "(..Crumbli)"
Paulie tries poking the end of his rapier in there.
Crumbli says, "Maybe you can Dimension Door through and then open it from the other side."
Rosie asks (of Clem), "That would work?"
Crumbli says, "Seems like they'd have some way to prevent that though"
Clem says, "Or I could get disintegrated by whatever is behind it eating Paulie's coins."
Rosie asks, "You can dimension door to somewhere you haven't seen?"
Paulie says, "Or stone shape around it."
Rosie says, "If you're going to dimension door somewhere, I suggest teleporting to crumbli's pants, grabbing stuff, and dimension dooring back."
Paulie, if it goes in all the way, tries pulling it back *out* again.
DM says (to Paulie), "There's a little click as you insert it"
Clem says, "Oooh hrm."
DM says, "(I randomly assumed you put it in the left one, by the way)"
Crumbli says, "Hey, that's right. We know where that is now."
Ebezar says, "Intriguing."
DM says, "and sort of a reverse click, like something disengaging, when you pull it out"
Paulie says, "I think we're onto something."
Ebezar says, "So click-kcilc"
Clem backs off a little.
(From DM) Paulie says (to Ebezar), "Fireball"
Paulie says, "If we put something in the other two, we can set off the trap."
Ebezar says, "I do not recall finding anything flat that would fit these slots"
Crumbli says, "I'd poke my rapier in another slot, but I don't have it."
Clem asks, "How deep did you have to insert the sword?"
Paulie motions with his fingers. "About this far."
Clem asks, "Like, too deep for daggers?"
[Crows-Nest] G2 says, "hee hee 'the trap'"
Rosie says, "Hey, we have those oversized scimitars."
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "I don't understand why everyone associates me with fireballs"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "I've only got the one prepared now, and I have five scorching rays"
DM says, "It was farther than a dagger would go, yeah"
Clem tries his greatsword.
Ebezar says (to Rosie), "oh, hm."
Clem says, "Might be too wide."
[Crows-Nest] (from DM) Ebezar says, "One for each of you"
Rosie retrieves the scimitars from Finn.
DM asks (of Clem), "In which one?"
Clem says, "Same one Paulie just tried."
DM says, "Same behavior"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "hey, I get two scorching rays per casting, so enough for *two* each"
Rosie tries putting a scimitar in the right slot at the same time that Clem's sword is in the left.
Clem asks (of Paulie), "Okay, shall we try two at once?"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo exclaims, "every adventurer's fantasy!"
DM says (to Rosie), "Same kind of result"
Clem keeps his sword in, standing back as far as he can while still holding it, and holding his breath.
Rosie puts the two scimitars in the other two slots.
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "this will turn out to be an ATM, but instead of cash it dispenses death"
DM says, "The door swings outward"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "though I don't think this is what was meant by 'PIN'"
Rosie says, "Hey hey hey."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "ha ha"
DM says, "This is what you see through the doorway:"
DM | http://www.hamesucken.com/tomb/25.jpg
Rosie exclaims, "The columned hall!"
[Crows-Nest] nothing_else says, "oh man, you've wandering into the mines of moria"
[tomb] Paulie says, "I was totally expecting it to be that surprised guy in armor with the spears again."
Ebezar exclaims, "Columns that are attacking!"
[tomb] Eolo says, "ha ha ha"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "hee"
Paulie asks, "So did we find the false and the true at some point?"
Rosie says, "On to the throne that's key and keyed, then."
Rosie asks, "False floor, true pathway?"
DM says, "The columns are spaced 10 feet apart"
[Crows-Nest] (from nothing_else) DM says, "Did I forget to mention that the ceiling is only 5 inches above the floor?"
Crumbli says, "The false was probably that lich we fought."
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "I'd be angry if someone keyed my new throne and scratched the paint"
Paulie says, "This seems like a good place to Detect Magic."
Rosie gives the scimitars back to Finn.
Crumbli steps through into... the Columned Hall.
Ebezar says, "This wand does not waggle, but it is still useful for Detect Magic."
Ebezar WHRRRM.
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Is it just me, or has everything since the gargoyle so far seemed a bit too, well, non-lethal?"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "that thing you should be biting? It's your tongue."
[tomb] Crumbli says, "I almost got killed by one of those spear traps."
[tomb] Eolo says, "ha ha"
[tomb] Clem says, "You're just saying that because you survived being trampled by a ten-foot stone elephant, while sleeping."
[tomb] Rosie says, "The gargoyle has definitely been the most powerful thing we've seen yet."
DM says, "There's some magic!"
[tomb] Paulie says (to Crumbli), "Well, yeah, but you're obviously the trap-magnet."
[tomb] nothing_else says (to Paulie), "I think the _elephant_ is thinking that, definitely."
[tomb] Eolo says, "you guys didn't run away from the gargoyle"
DM says (to Crumbli), "There's a faint orange glow off to the east"
Ebezar asks, "Can I tell what kind?"
DM says, "Lots and lots of magic"
DM says, "All these columns are magic, seems like"
Ebezar says, "Goodness."
Ebezar says, "That seems potentially non-optimal."
Clem says, "Yikes."
Crumbli says, "I'm going to skirt around southward."
DM says, "Roll some spellcraft"
Crumbli says, "Avoiding getting between the columns."
Ebezar rolls 1d20+12: 15+12 | 27
[tomb] Clem says, "When we raise that curse, you can stop skirting and start trousering."
DM says, "The columns have a pretty strong transmutation aura"
Crumbli exclaims, "They're soldiers!"
DM says, "Crumbli is still the only person who's entered the room, as far as I can tell"
DM says, "not that there's anything wrong with that"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "They're made of meat."
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar says, "which would make their load-bearing questionable, I uess"
Clem says, "Well, let's edge in and start scoping out this room."
Clem says, "And don't touch anything that Ebezar tells us not to touch."
Crumbli says, "And whatever you do, don't touch the columns."
Ebezar says (to DM), "I'm also watching for magicked trigger points on the floor, for example."
Rosie crawls out into the room.
[tomb] Eolo asks, "how long is this running? for another 20 minutes?"
DM says, "The door slams shut behind you"
[tomb] DM says, "I was just going to say"
Clem says, "Balls."
[tomb] Eolo says, "1.wav"
[tomb] DM says, "that this makes a good stopping point"
Crumbli says, "Do we have an idea of the room's dimensions? If not, let's fan out until we do."
Rosie says, "Ack."
[tomb] DM says, "but I could also go a little longer if people were psyched"
Ebezar exclaims, "By G'taar's mighty suspended 2nd chord!"
[tomb] DM says, "now that there's new stuff to explore"
[tomb] Crumbli says, "Dude, it's the Columned Hall! Of course we're psyched."
[tomb] G2 says, "ooh more"
[tomb] Clem says, "I could manage a little more if there's some action."
[tomb] Rosie says, "I could actually go a bit more, but I'm OK stopping, too."
[tomb] Paulie says, "I'm with Rosie."
[tomb] Rosie says, "If we start a battle, we should quit because battles take forever."
[tomb] Clem says, "Hmm, maybe."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "I'm not up for a three-hour battle"
[tomb] Ebezar says, "I am up for another bit of exploring"
[tomb] DM says, "If a battle starts we can stop it right then"
[tomb] (from Eolo) Clem says "I could totally take three or four dragons, five minutes tops"
[tomb] Clem says, "Heh."
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Were we facing north when we entered?"
[tomb] DM says (to Paulie), "East"
[tomb] Crumbli says, "I guess we could take the exploration to the forum."
Rosie examines the door that just slammed shut.
Paulie and Grog cautiously explore north.
Crumbli explores south
DM says (to Rosie), "It's featureless on this side, not even any slots"
[tomb] Paulie asks (of Rosie), "Is there any update to the big map lately?"
Rosie says (to Clem), "I guess when we have to run away from here, you should dimension-door past this and open it from the other side."
Rosie marks the door in chalk so it's easy to see.
DM says, "OK, so you came in through the west wall"
Paulie says, "Assuming he has three swords and a similar number of hands."
DM says, "which runs north-south, duh"
Rosie says (to Paulie), "Taking someone with him, naturally."
DM says, "Paulie and Grog find that the room extends another 50 feet to the north"
Rosie examines the columns to see if there's any writing on them.
DM says, "The ceiling here is 30 feet high, by the way"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "(a 9th-level caster can take three additional people along with their dimension door)"
DM says, "Anyway, in the northwest corner (on the north wall), 25 feet in the air, is this"
[Crows-Nest] Clem says, "Yup."
[Crows-Nest] Paulie says, "Take it to #I7."
[Crows-Nest] Clem asks, "Who has the scimitars?"
DM | http://www.hamesucken.com/tomb/6.jpg
[tomb] Rosie says, "Finn for now."
Ebezar says, "He looks like a hungry fellow."
Crumbli says, "That seems familiar."
DM says, "Just next to it is a 10' by 10' protrusion into the room, with a door in it"
DM says, "Meanwhile Crumbli has gone south"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "10x10x?"
DM says, "and also finds a wall after 50'"
DM says, "So I guess the whole thing is 110' north-south, including the 'square' where you entered"
DM says, "But there's nothing special about the southwest corner"
Paulie takes out another penny and tosses it into the demon's mouth.
DM says (to Paulie), "It's really far above your head"
DM says, "but you can try"
Crumbli says, "I'm going to search that door, taking 20."
Paulie rolls 1d20+11: 7+11 | 18
DM says (to Crumbli), "The door shimmers with a faint blue light"
Ebezar swings his detecting-magic-gaze to the door.
[tomb] Paulie says, "That's my missile throw. I'm not sure about the range penalty."
DM says, "and there's a brass ring on the center of it"
DM says, "Paulie tosses a copper piece up towards the mouth (which as I said earlier is 25 feet above the ground, almost at the ceiling)"
Rosie says (to Ebezar), "Hey, try detecting the magic type on that mouth this time."
DM says, "and it turns out it didn't really matter how well he threw it, because once it gets up near the ceiling it is visibly sucked into the mouth"
DM says, "and disappears"
Clem says, "Yow."
Clem says, "Let's be careful with the boots and the flying in here, then."
Crumbli says, "Maybe it's been spat out by the mouth in the initial corridor."
Crumbli says, "Maybe that's the way out."
Rosie says, "I would want to see the penny before concluding that."
DM says (to Ebezar), "The door does not appear to be magic"
Rosie asks, "It's glowing but not magical?"
DM says, "Yes"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "hidden spotlights elsewhere in the room"
Ebezar asks (of DM), "and the mouth?"
Paulie exclaims, "That's impossible!"
Crumbli asks, "Nystul's Magic Aura, maybe?"
DM says, "The mouth has a very strong conjuration aura"
DM says, "Oops, should have made you roll spellcraft"
Crumbli says, "This is a spell specifically designed to jam Detect Magic."
Crumbli says, "I bet there's a nasty magical trap on the door, and Nystul's Magica Aura is preventing you from detecting it. Strange that they'd bother, though."
Paulie and Grog continue east from where they were.
Clem follows.
Crumbli says, "Let's explore the rest of the room before touching it."
Ebezar says, "Given the conjuration, it could indeed be a transportation."
DM says, "OK, 40 feet east of that protrusion is another one"
DM says, "(that is. 30 feet of space in between)"
Paulie says, "Personally, I suspect that the door is a fake."
DM says, "and this door is like the last one, only violet instead of blue"
Paulie says, "Intended to lure people to fly up there near the mouth."
Clem asks, "What was the clue about blue again?"
DM says, "The door is at ground level"
[Crows-Nest] Ebezar exclaims, "cerenkov radiation!"
Clem says, "Or night's colour or something."
[tomb] Paulie asks, "And mouth-free?"
Clem asks, "What way are the doors facing?"
DM says, "Also the orange glow that Crumbli noticed earlier to the east is getting stronger"
DM says, "South"
Paulie says, "'Shun green if you can, but night's good color is for those of great valor.'"
DM says, "Oh, the devil face was green, by the way, just like the one in the first hall"
DM says, "Then there's another 30 feet, then another 10 foot protrusion with a door, this one blue again"
Crumbli says, "I'm going to head back to the south wall and walk along that."
Paulie says, "This seems to be the beginning of a pattern."
DM says, "Then, in the corner, another devil face 25 feet above the floor, this one blue"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Is that another 30 after the second blue door?"
[tomb] DM says, "Yeah"
[tomb] DM says, "So it's 110' east-west as well"
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Does it have a protrusion and door as well?"
[tomb] DM says, "Yes, there are three total"
DM says, "The south wall is much less eventful"
Paulie goes south.
Clem looks around the middle of the room, carefully avoiding the pillars.
[tomb] Rosie asks, "What color was the devil face at the end of the first corridor?"
Rosie explores the east wall.
[tomb] Rosie says, "Oops, you said."
DM says, "However, in the center of it (so opposite the violet door) is a large black dais with a few steps up to it"
DM says, "On the dais is a black throne inlaid with silver and ivory skulls"
DM says, "There's a crown and a scepter on the throne"
DM says, "The crown is golden, and the scepter has a silver end and a gold end"
DM | http://www.hamesucken.com/tomb/25d.jpg
Paulie says, "'Look low and high for gold, to hear a tale untold.'"
Paulie says, "Although perhaps we've passed that point."
DM says (to Clem), "There was nothing special in the middle of the room"
DM says, "But again, there's that orange glow to the east"
Paulie is now checking the east wall, from north to south.
Clem asks, "When you say it's getting stronger, do you just mean we're getting closer?"
DM says, "Yes"
Crumbli says, "Looks like there's a compartment at the bottom of that throne."
Rosie asks (of Ebezar), "More detect magic on this throne?"
DM says, "The east wall has nothing special about it"
Ebezar says (to Rosie), "certainly"
Ebezar WHRRRM throne.
DM says, "But in the center of it, opposite your entrance, is what was generating that orange glow"
Crumbli asks, "Where's the glow coming from?"
Crumbli says, "Aha"
DM says (to Crumbli), "This:"
DM | http://www.hamesucken.com/tomb/25c.jpg
Clem says, "Oooooh."
Rosie says, "That's a good omen."
Ebezar says, "The skeletons about the gem are certainly not worrying."
DM says (to Crumbli), "Yeah (re throne), and that crown inlay at the bottom is silver"
Crumbli exclaims, "A deadly glowing magical gem that costs only 25 CENTS!!!"
Paulie says, "My."
Ebezar says (to DM), "I'm continuing the detect magic on the throne (and its constituent parts) and on the gem."
Ebezar says, "Let me know how many spellcraft rolls I need."
DM says (to Ebezar), "Looks like the crown and/or the scepter are extremely magic"
DM says, "make a roll"
Ebezar rolls 1d20+12: 17+12 | 29
Paulie says, "I would assume that, like the other gems we've found, this one is perfectly mundane and non-magical."
DM says (to Ebezar), "Overwhelming transmutation"
Ebezar says, "Yipes."
DM says, "and over to the gem"
Ebezar rolls 1d20+12: 6+12 | 18
DM says, "it is also extremely magical"
DM says, "no clue what school, though"
Ebezar relays what information he has to the others.
DM says, "So about that gem"
DM says, "It's huge"
DM says, "it's glowing orange"
Crumbli asks, "Is it similar to the other Special Gems?"
DM says, "and all those skeletons and gear around it are charred and burnt"
Crumbli says, "In size and shape, I mean."
DM says (to Crumbli), "Much bigger"
Clem asks, "What was the clue, again? 'Throne that's key and keyed'?"
DM says, "OK, I think that's a complete tour of the room"
Crumbli says, "yeah"
Crumbli says, "OK, I want to look at that compartment under the throne."
Crumbli says, "In fact, I am going to open it."
Rosie exclaims, "Detect traps!"
DM says, "There's no obvious way to open it"
Clem says, "Hmmm."
Paulie asks, "Should we send Kong to examine the gem more closely?"
Crumbli asks, "Can we, like, summon something and put the crown on it to see what happens?"
Paulie asks (of Crumbli), "Canary?"
Crumbli says, "It looks too big for anything we're likely to get out of that bag."
Ebezar has disconnected.
Ebezar has connected.
Clem says, "I could probably manage to summon a biggish animal."
Clem says, "If you give me a few minutes to prepare."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "I unexpectedly have to go in about five minutes"
(From DM) Clem summons a big rolling elephant
Paulie says, "Meanwhile, let's send a Canary towards the gem."
[tomb] DM says, "OK, well, we got through everything in the room, which was the main thing I wanted to do"
Clem says, "Good thought."
[tomb] DM says, "So I'm fine with stopping here"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Sure."
[tomb] DM says, "and people can try things out on the forum or not as they choose"
Clem says, "Looks like I could summon a porpoise or possibly a badger."
[tomb] Ebezar says, "excellent"
[tomb] Clem says, "Works for me."
[tomb] Ebezar exclaims, "thanks for the game!"
Ebezar has disconnected.
Ebezar husbands his hitpoints carefully.
[tomb] Paulie says, "THat sounds good, yeah."
baf sought for a happy, simple life and used the atomic theory to get away from the old fears and superstitions.
[tomb] DM says, "As you can probably tell, you're getting pretty close to the pants of doom"
[tomb] Paulie says, "THe badger and the Canary seem pretty forum-appropriate."
[tomb] Paulie asks, "Who has the Bag, again?"
nothing_else goes home.
[tomb] DM says, "Clem has one bag"
[tomb] Paulie asks (of Clem), "Mind if I use it?"
[tomb] Paulie says, "(Since you're busy summoning.)"
[tomb] Clem says, "Go ahead."
[tomb] Rosie says, "Map updated: http://strackenz.spod-central.org/~lpsmith/rpg/transcripts/tomb/Tomb.png"
[tomb] DM says, "Nice gem!"
G2 has disconnected.
G2 goes home.
[tomb] Rosie says, "I had to zoom in to make that."
[tomb] DM says, "OK, nice work"
[tomb] DM says, "I"m glad you didn't need Divination for the door"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Yeah, that would have been kind of lame ;-)"
DM goes home.
[tomb] Rosie says, "It's hard to know when to mess with stuff and when things are impossible."
Paulie rolls 1d100: 6 | 6
[tomb] Eolo says, "yeah, I was noting that"
[tomb] dfan says, "Yeah, it's really easy to see from my side of course"
[tomb] dfan says, "but I forget how random it is from yours"
[tomb] Rosie says, "Heh."
[tomb] (from Paulie) dfan says, "It's all impossible"
[tomb] Gunther says, ""random" is exactly it"
