Darkest Prison: you enter the town...what are you doing with the priest you captured? he's not particularly important...
Vladimere16: "...Can we please slit his throat? I have...something I wanna do to him..."
Vladimere16: "Just let me kill him."
ranzunar: "Well you took the idea right out of me, just don't let anyone see you or a body afterwards"
Darkest Prison: "I'd rather leave him bound with an open wound and let him slowly bleed to death."
Vladimere16: "...Listen, just one small ritual, that's all I'm asking for. I'll take him out of town and perform everything in the wilderness."
Darkest Prison: "Heed the call of nature, then," Dais sighed
ranzunar: "Fine I'll check around town for some info"
Vladimere16: "Excellent...I
Vladimere16: (Damn enter button)
Vladimere16: "Excellent...I'll see you guys later then."
ranzunar: (let me make a quick gather info check)
Vladimere16: (Tanis is performing the ritual described in Ratsakh's info-nod-)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Darkest Prison: yup, lucas
ranzunar: (only a 13)
Darkest Prison: Dais aids
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
Darkest Prison: (barely)
ranzunar: (ok 15 on whether or not people are looking for the symbol and what do they want it for)
Darkest Prison: Dolo finds out that no one is sure what happened to the holy symbol, just that the temple is gravely worried it has heard nothing, and has sent search teams out to find out what happened
ranzunar: (oh by the way, in this towm I am taking on the persona of Calvin M. Burns)
ranzunar: (warrior with an interest in superstition and religion)
Darkest Prison: The symbol is the centerpeice of an annual ritual to Pelor to pray for the coming winter to be short and to hasten the arrival of spring
Darkest Prison: It is held at a different temple each year, and man, does this town look bad for fucking it up on their turn
ranzunar: "Dais you know more about the gods than I do, what can you tell me about Pelor besides the fact that he looks like the sun"
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
Vladimere16: Once Tanis finishes his business he returns to the town and looks for Dais and Dolo.
Darkest Prison: "He's...uh...I don't bother learning about other gods as much as I should..."
ranzunar: (making a bardic)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
ranzunar: (13)
Darkest Prison: Pelor's the sun god. He's the most commonly worshipped god among humans. When he smiles, you can hear a "ping" sound
Vladimere16: (hehe)
Darkest Prison: "You don't knw much about him, either?"
ranzunar: "Literally having a bright and sunny disposition doesn't agree with me"
Darkest Prison: "Tanis is back," Dais sees him from afar. "We need to get our plan down."
Vladimere16: Tanis also had a very bright smile on his face.
Darkest Prison: "Are you two going to go the 'brave guards' route?"
ranzunar: "Yeah I'm Calvin Burns one of the few survivors of the raid, we were barely able to save the symbol"
Darkest Prison: "Or maybe just one of you be the guard, the other one a rescuer?"
Darkest Prison: "Damn Tiny disappearing when we need him..."
ranzunar: "Tanis if you've got a good alter ego that you want to test out, now's the time"
Darkest Prison: "Ok, Calvin. What exactly happened, and how did you escape alive with the holy symbol?"
Vladimere16: "So am I being a rescuer or a faithful guard that fought to near death to protect the holy symbol alongside my allie?"
ranzunar: "The survivors were taken hostage and taken to a makeshift prison, me and a few others surprised the evil guards in the night got some equipment defeated are capturers and barely escaped"
Darkest Prison: "Be the guy that 'found' Calvin. The less people that have to fake being guards the better anyway."
Darkest Prison: "Who captured you? Why? And what happened to the other survivors?"
ranzunar: "Unfortunately, I was the only one that survived the battle, bloodied and hungry I was saved by this young wanderer"
Vladimere16: "Alright, so my name's Markham Du'Mas and as I traveled through the Kinshasa I spotted Calvin there, bloodied, tired, hungry and dehydrated. Of course I quickly went to his aid and once I learned of his plight, helped him here."
ranzunar: "It was apparently some other savages that inhabit Kinshasa, the orcs and such can only control so many, wandering marauders that's what they were, barely human"
Darkest Prison: "good enough. Now then, I'll stay to the shadows and help when I can, but once you introduce yourself, there'll be too much scrutiny. I need to keep from being seen with you, in case you need an outsider to join
Darkest Prison: the play later."
Darkest Prison: "Understand?"
ranzunar: "Fine, let's just hope that Tiny's visions can stop happening in time before we all get killed"
Vladimere16: Tanis nodded his head, "Yeah, this should work alright."
ranzunar: "Once we get in, no killing until the ceremony is practically over"
Darkest Prison: "When you get a room at the inn, ask for second floor, preferably a corner room, starting north and checking availability clockwise from there."
ranzunar: "Aren't you doing that?"
Darkest Prison: "I'll sneak in at night to discuss with you and sleep, and sneak back out early in the morning."
Darkest Prison: "It'd raise suspicions if someone else reserved your room. Better for you to do it. I'll find you guys."
Vladimere16: Tanis nodded his head, "Calvin and I are getting separate rooms I assume?" Referring to Dolo as Calvin just to keep the name fresh in his mind.
Vladimere16: "It wouldn't make sense for us to have the same room."
Darkest Prison: "While you two do your work, I'll plot an escape route from the main chamber of the temple."
Darkest Prison: "If you'd like"
ranzunar: "Seems like the right plan"
Darkest Prison: "So, everyone ready? Remember, above all else. Hypnogogia needs us to ruin each ceremony to as great a degree as possible, without being exposed for our intent, whatever the cost."
ranzunar: "Markham let's put on some diguises and play wandering heroes save the day"
ranzunar: "Between some magic and creativity we should be able to do this"
Vladimere16: "Alright, I figure I should be wearing clothes that would make me look like I was planning on going hunting through the Kinshasa."
Vladimere16: "I thought maybe that would be my reason for why I was there when I spotted you."
Darkest Prison: Dais heads off, slinking into the crowd. You quickly lose sight of him.
ranzunar: "Hunter might just do it, between your bow and your swords you should convince anyone"
Vladimere16: Oh, before Dais headed off Tanis passed him a simple black knife, it would be extremely bad if Tanis got cought with that, he thought it'd be a better idea to send it off with him.
Darkest Prison: (yes)
ranzunar: "Ok Markham lets leave town and play our parts, dramatically!"
Vladimere16: Tanis nodded his head, "Alrighty then!"
ranzunar: (I change my hair style and use some stuff from my disguise it to look like a Calvin)
Vladimere16: (Tanis just puts on some clothes that'll make him look like a hunter in the Kinshasa, even wears a turban style hat thing.)
Darkest Prison: (ok. ready to start the show?)
ranzunar: (I may not be ready, but I am willing)
Darkest Prison: (going to the temple, or making some scene at the town entrance?)
ranzunar: (Scene at the town entrance)
Darkest Prison: (describe what you're doing, then)
ranzunar: (Ok I'm stumbling in from the horizon, with Markham helping me walk, each step seems painful but I continue as I lim forward)
ranzunar: *limp
Vladimere16: (I'm letting Calvin lean in on Markham, even using the composite longbow unstrung as a makeshift walking stick for him)
ranzunar: (As I get closer I start to yell out, "for the good sake of Pelor help us")
Darkest Prison: No guards are at the entrance this time of day. At the scream, some people react, looking to see what's going on, then calling for help
Darkest Prison: Some guards run out, shouting, "What's the problem?!"
ranzunar: "Please help us, we need to get to the temple, Pelor's will commands it"
Darkest Prison: "What! Who are you?"
ranzunar: "It his only through his strentgh that I am able to carry this here" (shows the symbol from his backpack)
ranzunar: "I was with the caravan that was attacked bringing the symbol to town"
Darkest Prison: "...Is that...my god!" The guards rush up, holding Calvin up under the shoulders and helping him walk toward the temple
Darkest Prison: "Who is this with you? Another survivor?"
ranzunar: "A wandering hero that saved from the desert's peril"
Vladimere16: "My name is Markham Du'Mas, I was hunting in the Kinshasa when I saw him." he followed along, wanting to make sure Calvin would be alright.
Darkest Prison: "Well, come along as well, then!" They escort the two of youto the temple gates, one running inside to get the head priest
ranzunar: "I was barely able to escape with the symbol, unfortunately I was the only survivor from the fight to escape barely alive"
Darkest Prison: The guard comes running back out. "You two are invited inside. Bless you for your heroism."
ranzunar: "Thank you good sir and may you blessed as wee"
ranzunar: *well
Darkest Prison: The guards bow and leave
Vladimere16: Markham moved to continue supporting Calvin as they headed inside, a look of awe on his face at being in such a holy place.
ranzunar: (ok I find a column to lean on or something)
Darkest Prison: The temple was built out of stone ,with many stained glass windows along the sides and some on the roof, letting the bright sunshine fill the room
ranzunar: (damn lag)
ranzunar: "It's as if Pelor welcomes us"
Darkest Prison: "I hear you went through quite the ordeal to complete your mission, Mr... Calvin, was it?"
ranzunar: "Yes, Calvin M. Burns, just glad to help and be alive to tell about it"
Darkest Prison: The head priestess purred slightly, walking out from behind a corner. She walked up to look the two of you in the face, actually bowing in reverance
Vladimere16: Tanis's eyes twitched slightly when he saw they were dealing with a woman and managed to supress a chuckle. When she bowed to him he began to stammer and then quickly bowed himself. "I-
Darkest Prison: She was wearing a long, flowing yellow gown, a sun-themed tiara on her head
Vladimere16: -should be the one bowing to one as holy as yourself, not you to me."
Vladimere16: you to us*
ranzunar: "A young priest with his dyeing breath told me to get this to the head priest no matter what. Are you her?
Darkest Prison: "Please, don't say such a thing. You have no idea how great a deed you've done in securing the holy symbol for us. The festival couldn't even go on without it."
Darkest Prison: "Yes, I am. I thank you. But for now, is there anything I can do for you? A place to rest, food to eat?"
ranzunar: (I barely bow, the wincing from the pain stopping me midway)
Darkest Prison: "...Some healing, perhaps?"
Darkest Prison: She moves closer, wanting to inspect the wounds
Darkest Prison: (if either of you care, long blonde hair, slim figure, modestly endowed, and has a "charisma bonus.")
ranzunar: "Some lodging would be nice, but my appetite for curiosity is far greater. I feel that Pelor wanted me here, can you pplease let me know and see the ritual that soon commences?"
Vladimere16: (Yes, I care lol)
Vladimere16: (Tanis:...Too bad it'd be impossible for me to convert her to Ratsakh...god that would be AWESOME)\
Darkest Prison: (damn, gabe. you're way too forward with her)
ranzunar: "I'm a quick healer, just give me a day's rest and a good meal and I should be ok"
Darkest Prison: "The ritual? It's just as the townsfolk would tell you, a festival to pray for a swift return of spring and harvest time."
ranzunar: "Pardon my forwardness, please just help me to understand the importance of this symbol, I've always had faith in Pelor but now I just want to know more"
Darkest Prison: She bit her lip a little, "I...I guess we could let you two in to view the entire ceremony, in honor of your bravery, if you wish to see it all. It's rather boring to most folks."
ranzunar: "To help others as He has helped me"
Vladimere16: "I've never seen any sort of religious ritual before...it...It would be a great honor for me to see this."
Darkest Prison: "Yes, this is important. I myself have a...unfortunate past. Then, I found Pelor, and ever since I have devoted my life to his teachings of peace and respect for life."
ranzunar: "Most folk haven't risked life and limb in order to make this ritual possible"
Darkest Prison: "Oh, my! I didn't even introduce myself, I was so relieved about the holy symbol. I am Aluvian, High Priestess of Pelor."
Vladimere16: "It is an honor to meet you, ma'am. I am Markham Du'Mas." Oh, Markham had totally taken off his turban when they entered the temple.
Darkest Prison: "Allow me to introduce you to some others here." She said, giving the holy symbol to another priest and telling him to put it in "the safe place."
ranzunar: "Aluvian, pleased to make your acquiantance"
Vladimere16: (Maaaan, if only Tanis could have more time with her he'd SO try and convert her.)
Darkest Prison: Aluvian leads you two through a door on the side. Inside this room, about ten heavily armored soldiers in full plate have taken off their helmets and are enjoying a mid-day meal
Darkest Prison: "These are the Pelor Honor Guard, powerful foes of all that is evil, and guardians of this temple for generations."
ranzunar: (ok no funny business in here)
Darkest Prison: "If... if we knew how dangerous the trip would be, we would have sent them as guards instead of your retinue," she said to Calvin, in a manner both apologetic and humble,
Darkest Prison: yet also by its nature kind of insulting about his abilities
Vladimere16: Tanis followed along, that look of awe still on his face though he was taking note of everything.
Darkest Prison: The soldiers looked up from their meals long enough to grunt, "hello," before going back to work. err...eating
ranzunar: "Their work is full of honor and good, it is a shame that some of them did not accompany us with the caravan, perhaps we could have avoided so much trouble"
Darkest Prison: They were all pretty large, with hands that looked like they could crush skulls in
Darkest Prison: "Well, it seems they're busy. They like to eat quickly to be back on watch, manners aren't really their strong suit." (sense motive if you want, they ARE decent at diplomacy)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
ranzunar: (11 sense motive)
Darkest Prison: (you think she might be downplaying their social skills)
Darkest Prison: "Here, let me introduce you to someone else important to our community, and especially important to the ceremony."
Darkest Prison: She leads you out to another side room
Darkest Prison: In here is a cusioned area with its own alter for prayer. Inside is a single girl, looks about 16, kneeled in prayer to the sun god
Darkest Prison: *cushioned
Darkest Prison: "Linnal, we have some special guests i'd like you to meet." "Oh? Thank you, Miss Aluvial."
Darkest Prison: She turns around to look at you two, "I am Linnal, pleasure to meetyou both," she curtseyed
Vladimere16: Tanis quickly bowed in response to the curtsey, "I am Markham Du'Mas."
Darkest Prison: She had braided brown hair, was about 5'3", wore a white fluffy gown and had a fair complextion, fairly pretty
Vladimere16: I'm tempted to convert to Pelor if for no other reason than the pretty girls...Tanis thought to himself.
ranzunar: "Had I known that Pelor had such beautiful woman to praise him I would have made sure to be less injured before entering this temple, I'm Calvin"
Darkest Prison: "Linnal, this man survived the attack on the procession, fought back agianst his captors, and even managed to bring back our precious holy symbol! And this man helped him make it through Kinshasa alive."
Darkest Prison: "Oh, wow!" She stared at Calvin wide-eyed
Vladimere16: ...Tanis blinked...she totally just made it sound like he did nothing at all...dumb bitch...
Darkest Prison: "Tell me about it, Mister Calvin! It sounds so exciting!"
Darkest Prison: (note to tanis: having high cha has perks)
Vladimere16: (XD)
ranzunar: "I couldn't have done it if not for Pelor's blessings and of course without Markham saving me"
Vladimere16: (Yeah, Tanis's isn't as good as Dolo's.)
Darkest Prison: (he gets a -2 ugly penalty for being half-giant, though)
ranzunar: "these stories are so gruesome, scary and violent. Such an innocent lady as yourself shouldn't want to hear these things"
Vladimere16: (Who gets a -2?)
Darkest Prison: "No, please! I'm just a girl from a small town, I don't get to meet actual heroes very often! Tell me everything!"
Darkest Prison: (sir)
Vladimere16: "I did what anyone in my position would do...when you come across an injured man practically dieing in the Kinshasa you do not look the other way. You help -
Vladimere16: -him in hopes that should the same ever happen to you, someone will be there."
Darkest Prison: (oh, as good as dolo's. I thought you said yours wasn't as good as sir's, which it also isn't)
Vladimere16: (Yeeeaaah, Tanis's is only 14.)
ranzunar: "Well if you must know I'll tell you, but first can you get me some water, Kinshasa has left me with a fierce thirst"
Darkest Prison: "Thank you for saving Calvin's life! If you hadn't...I'd never have been able to meet him."
Darkest Prison: "Right away!" She ran off to fetch some and was back promptly
ranzunar: (Do I really have to tell her the whole story?)
Darkest Prison: Alluvial just smiled and watched
Darkest Prison: (you can just say, you do without actually doing it)
ranzunar: (lagging like crazy be patient with me)
Vladimere16: As he recounted the tale Tanis moved to stand near Alluvial, "How long have you been a follower of Pelor, ma'am?"
Darkest Prison: Linnal listened intently, hanging on every word as Calvin described his ordeal
ranzunar: (Ok I tell her the story in a heroic fashion as I had planned with Dais just before putting plan in action, roll bluff I assume)
Darkest Prison: "Please, don't call me ma'am, it makes me feel old," she chuckled. "About six years now."
Darkest Prison: (sure, roll bluff)
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
Darkest Prison: (nice!)
Vladimere16: (Awesome)
Darkest Prison: (I meant for me, lucas. :-P look who rolled)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Vladimere16: (oh.)
Darkest Prison: (LOL!)
Vladimere16: (I thought HE rolle---GODDAMMIT!)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Vladimere16: "My apologies. What has it been like being under his service?"
ranzunar: (oh frack 11 bluff total)
Darkest Prison: "Really, Mr. Calvin! You...were you purposely embellishing your tale just to impress me?" She blushed at the thought
Darkest Prison: (I'd suggest saying yes)
Vladimere16: (lol)
ranzunar: "Well I once heard that dead men tell no tales so I decided that those that fought with me should have the hero's treatment also"
Darkest Prison: She laughed, "Ooh, so poetic..."
Vladimere16: Must...not...fuck things up...
Darkest Prison: "I've decided! Aluvian, I um...annul my earlier choice. I choose a hero, Calvin, instead."
ranzunar: "Forgive me for being so overzealous about the ordeal as to mislead you into thinking of me as such a hero"
Vladimere16: Tanis blinked a bit at that and then stared at the girl...the hell did she just say?!
Darkest Prison: Aluvian looked surprised. "Oh? Are you sure? To change your mind so soon before the ceremony?"
Darkest Prison: "I think it'd be a mistake not to."
ranzunar: "Excuse me?"
Darkest Prison: "Oh, you don't know what I'm talking about do you?"
Darkest Prison: "I'm... ah, you see..." "She's the chosen virgin priestess of Pelor."
ranzunar: "Pardon my ignorance and my prying, but please explain this to me"
Darkest Prison: Aluvian interrupted for her
Vladimere16: Tanis couldn't help but cough and sputter a bit when they said what she was.
ranzunar: (Damn it Marc, helping my character get laid just goes further into existencial irony)
Darkest Prison: "To commence the ceremony each year, the chosen virgin takes a lover the night beforehand, to symbolize the growth and life that Pelor watches over. The union always results in an offspring, which is always blessed by Pelor
Darkest Prison: himself."
Darkest Prison: (remember, gabe? when I was like *mustn't ruin surprise* when we were talking about said irony?)
Vladimere16: Tanis blinked up at Dolo...The idea of murdering the girl the night before the ceremony was almost too good to pas---IDEA! Mwahahaha!!!
Darkest Prison: "The man I chose already I did so because he became permanently disabled. He lost a leg saving a boy from a plow that had run amock due to no driver."
Darkest Prison: "But I didn't really want him...I'm sure he'll take the news gently."
ranzunar: (Oh crap) "It appears that Pelor truly has blessed me, but such a decision shouldn't be undertaken so quickly by a girl your age. If Pelor allows it, then let it be so, but only if you truly want to"
Darkest Prison: "I do!"
Vladimere16: Tanis was struggling to suppress a grin of sadistic glee.
Darkest Prison: Her eyes lit up, "You would be ok with it, right?"
ranzunar: "Let me ask another who is wiser than oth of us. Aluvian, your blessing for this is just as important, do you think this is best?"
Darkest Prison: "Linnal, it's a sudden request. Although, we should inform Mr. Laungschimdt immediately if there is to be the change. It's to occur tonight, after all!"
ranzunar: *both
Darkest Prison: "Pelor wills that the virgin choose her partner,so of course I bless the union. I haven't much choice."
Darkest Prison: *Laungschmidt, bah whatever. it's a bs name for some guy who's only getting mentioned in passing
Darkest Prison: (so, dolo...gonna take one for the team? :-))
ranzunar: "It appears that Pelor has brought us together, who am I to say that this is not His will"
Darkest Prison: "Oh, great! Miss Aluvian, dispatch a messenger to tell Mr. Laungschmidt my change of heart at once!"
ranzunar: (Let me say for the record that I am officially uncomfortable with this)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Darkest Prison: "Shouldn't you tell him yourself?" "I'd...rather not have to tell him and let him down, what with him being crippled and all."
Darkest Prison: (lol, good. uncomfortable was what i was going for)
ranzunar: "Insist that it is Pelor's choice not yours, that should ease the information"
Darkest Prison: "Calvin, meet me here when the sun has completely set, ok?"
Vladimere16: (Dolo should kill her in the night then beat the shit out of himself to near unconsiousness and then say an assassin came and killed her and thought they killed him)
Darkest Prison: (or...fuck her...)
Vladimere16: (But...but...He could fuck her then kill her?)
Darkest Prison: (or maybe in reverse order!)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Vladimere16: (As long as the body's warm it's not creepy-nod-)
Darkest Prison: (ah, so terrible)
ranzunar: (perhaps uncomfortable wasn't a strong enough word)
Darkest Prison: So...you bid adeiu and head back for the inn?
Vladimere16: Sure.
Darkest Prison: (consider this a test gabe. to see if you can actually RP an evil character.)
Darkest Prison: (cause...this is FAR from the worst you'll be doing)
ranzunar: "Ironic that I should be with you thanks to Pelor and we must wait until the sun sets for me to be with you"
Darkest Prison: "His light will be with us in our union at the darkest of hours."
Vladimere16: ...Hey...then Hypnogognia or what the hell ever his name is can watch!
ranzunar: (Good thing I took those acting classes)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Darkest Prison: (*reminds me of xykon watching the dwarf sex on his crystal ball*)
Vladimere16: (ewwww)
ranzunar: (I thought it was Red Cloak, MITD, and cockroaches)
Vladimere16: (SO back to the inn?)
Darkest Prison: You reach the hotel, and get the room you want after 3 failed tries, using Dais's order preference
Darkest Prison: (maybe, i forget if xykon watched)
Vladimere16: Once in the privacy of the room Tanis just started laughing at Dolo. "Alright...So I've got a couple ideas here."
Darkest Prison: (feel free to discuss for tomorrow. and...tonight *wink*)
ranzunar: "No killing her, 5 gold pieces says that she is needed for the ritual, can't arise suspicion just yet"
Darkest Prison: A few moments later, you two hear a knock on the door. "Room service!"
Vladimere16: "Both involve kil---Gods damn you."
Vladimere16: ...Tanis moved to open the door and peer out.
Darkest Prison: If no one opensit in ten seconds, "fucking open it," is added in gnome
Darkest Prison: "Thanks. I just came by to tell you about events going on this evening and --" he started, slipping in and closing the door, tearing off his disguise
Vladimere16: Once Dais was in the room and they had their privacy once more, "Exactly, I want to disrupt the ritual and what better way than to kill the girl...or convert her or the high priestess?"
Darkest Prison: "--the fuck is wrong with you!" he yelled, smacking tanis on the head
ranzunar: "Dais, glad to see you, what have you found out?"
Vladimere16: "What the hell?"
Darkest Prison: "I can't sneak in from the outside in daylight, you know. Good thing I was following you and saw you calling it a night so early."
Vladimere16: "...Not my fault!"
Vladimere16: "He.." Point at Dolo, "Has to screw some girl tonight."
Darkest Prison: "There's a passageway we can use from the main chamber, I'm working on clearing it out and making sure the exit point isn't watched tomorrow."
Darkest Prison: "What?!"
ranzunar: "Let's just say we need to plan quick, I have other "pressing" engagements"
Vladimere16: "It's part of the ritual, he has to knock her up."
Darkest Prison: "That actually happens?"
Vladimere16: "Ayyup."
Vladimere16: "I wanna kill her."
Darkest Prison: "Awesome!"
Darkest Prison: "No! Don't kill her!"
Vladimere16: "...Just once I
Vladimere16: (damn enter)
Darkest Prison: "It's a church. you're fucking her to make a baby, aren't you?"
ranzunar: "Apparently having a hero conceive a baby with a local virgin is important for the ritual. Good thing I aint no hero"
Vladimere16: "...Just once I'd like to be able to murder someone when I want to."
Darkest Prison: "You did. This morning. Priest. In the forest."
Vladimere16: "I didn't get to do it when I first wanted to."
ranzunar: "Yeah a baby should come out of this, think I need to avoid such a position?"
Darkest Prison: "look, remember what Hypnogogia said. We can't stop things from happening, we need to ruin them. I'm pretty sure killing the mother counts as 'stopping' the pregnancy"
ranzunar: "Calm down Tanis, there will be plenty of killing later"
Vladimere16: "Is there any sort of tozin or something we can use to mess up the pregnancy later in time or whatever?"
Darkest Prison: "Hmm...it's a goody-two-shoes god... I'm sure we could make the sex unholy and ruin any spiritual significance of it."
ranzunar: "Can't I drop her unconscious and say we did it? She's still happy and we don't arouse suspicion"
Darkest Prison: "Like...convince her not to do missionary position. Maybe get someone to watch it voyeristically. Maybe I could do that..."
Vladimere16: "...So toss in some oral?"
Darkest Prison: "Sure!"
Vladimere16: "Fucking perv ass gnome."
Darkest Prison: "It's our god's will, jack ass."
ranzunar: "So you're saying take advantage of her and be kinky?"
Darkest Prison: "Yeah. What else would Pelor not like? Anal?"
Vladimere16: "Yeah, anal, non missionary...and if you really wanna fuck things up...and gods is this digusting, try and sneak a small rodent in some how..."
Vladimere16: "And I wish I was kidding."
Darkest Prison: "Maybe bring some aphrodesiacs to alter her mood."
ranzunar: "Maybe a Dirty Sanchez at the end, or whatever they call it around this area"
Darkest Prison: "...That's just disgusting."
ranzunar: "Magic ones work well, I can cast suggestion to get her into doing it the nonholy way"
Darkest Prison: "Sure."
Vladimere16: "And completely messed up and wrong and sure to make the consumation unholy."
Darkest Prison: "Maybe bring another girl."
ranzunar: "Well I have been trying to find more uses for the grease spell"
Darkest Prison: "Whatever your sick mind wants, Dolorito," he chuckled
Darkest Prison: (I have an idea, but my character wouldn't think of it)
Vladimere16: "Oh, Dais...we need to convert the high priestess Alluvian. She apparently had a 'bad' past before worshipping Pelor...I don't know if we can do it in such short time though."
ranzunar: "Ok perhaps we need to focus on the other things we need to take care of besides fucking a girl"
Darkest Prison: (scroll of Amplify)
Vladimere16: (hehehe)
ranzunar: (ROFLOL)
Vladimere16: (That....would be HILARIOUS)
Darkest Prison: (it's a bard spell. makes sounds in the area carry over long distances)
Darkest Prison: "Doesn't sound worth the trouble. We can't keep the cover IDs up and try to convert her, either."
Vladimere16: "That's true."
ranzunar: (Because we want to entire temple to hear her moans and thus make it unholy sex)
Vladimere16: (Yes.)
Darkest Prison: "Look, I'll come back later to sleep. Your sword is needed elsewhere, Dolo (laughter). We'll talk later."
Darkest Prison: (more like half the town)
Darkest Prison: it is getting close to sundown
Vladimere16: Tanis snickered a bit at that as well, "Alright, well go off and fight your battle there Dolo...I guess I'll just stick around here."
ranzunar: "I'm pretty sure that once I'm over there I can't come back, any last minute planning?"
Darkest Prison: "Don't panic."
Darkest Prison: "I'll be watching." *small smile*
Vladimere16: Tanis lost it again with that.
ranzunar: (Fine, let's do this, skip the sex cutscene please)
Darkest Prison: (now then, gabe. much as I like the comedic value in this, I respect your desire to..not do this. we can fully RP it, or you can just say what you're doing to unholy the act and we cut to afterwards, your call)
Darkest Prison: (ok)
Darkest Prison: *waiting*
ranzunar: (Let's avoid graphic descriptions, my mom may come in at any moment and she taught me how to speed read)
Vladimere16: (lol)
ranzunar: (So cut to afterwards please)
Darkest Prison: (fine. *reads amplify* holy crap is this spell perfect!)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Darkest Prison: (reduces listen DCs to hear by 20, aka +200 ft hearing range. "The creatures within the spell's area do not notice the increased amplification")
Vladimere16: (...that IS perfect)
ranzunar: (Ok I either use suggestion to get her to do kinky stuff, or Ventrilouism to make her think that Pelor wants her to do kinky stuff)
Darkest Prison: *rolls will save with -2 circumstance penalty*
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Vladimere16: (lmao...suggestion. It'll be easier)
Darkest Prison: (she's suggested!)
ranzunar: (Too bad I can't inspire competence in myself, or get an inspirational boost out of it)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Vladimere16: Tanis played sollitaire in the hotel room.
Darkest Prison: afterwards, she seems rather pleased, and as for you... you would have never guessed a sacred girl of pelor could be that much of a freak
Darkest Prison: (from now on, dolo gets a +2 circumstance bonus on "confidence checks")
ranzunar: (Ok I tell her that we need to do it "hero style" and for her to just let things happen)
Darkest Prison: Dais hops in through the window well after sundown
ranzunar: (the hell is a confidence check?)
Vladimere16: (The window of the hotel room?)
Darkest Prison: (I don't know. but you get a +2 on it)
Darkest Prison: (inn room)
Vladimere16: (XD)
Darkest Prison: (whatever)
Vladimere16: "Hey there Dais...How'd everything go?"
Darkest Prison: "I could hear her from outside the building, so well for Dolorito, I guess."
Vladimere16: Tanis smirked and shook his head some as he gathered up the cards and let out a short yawn, "Well good for him...So how're we gonna further botch things up tomorrow?"
Darkest Prison: "Well, till he gets here, let's start going over strategy."
Vladimere16: "I'm gonna have to keep up with my persona until we get out of this town huh?"
Darkest Prison: "First is a procession of the Pelor Honor Guard through the main street. I trust you two to fuck that up."
Darkest Prison: "Yes."
ranzunar: (I need my 8 hours of sleep to recover spells, not sure if they let me get out without any problems after the deed has been done)
Darkest Prison: "Hence why I'm keeping out of it in the public eye, in case you need a new actor."
Vladimere16: "Alright, take good care of that knife then. As for the Honor Guard...I'm not sure what to do there. They're some big ass beasts of soldiers. I'm willing to bet they could crusg Tiny's skull if they tried.""
Darkest Prison: (you get out fine. the guys look at you with a mix of jealously and "the fuck is wrong with you?" the ladies look at you disgusted when anyone else is looking at them, fawning otherwise)
Vladimere16: crush*
Vladimere16: (lol)
ranzunar: I get to the room, "Well that went swell"
Darkest Prison: "After that, they go into the temple for a candle lighting...I don't think it's possible to mess that up."
Darkest Prison: "Gosh golly, did it?"
Vladimere16: "Alluvian said that Dolo and I could witness the actual ritual as an honor to us for saving the holy symbol."
ranzunar: "Ok I can trip a few people with grease and leave no evidence"
Darkest Prison: "Good."
Darkest Prison: "After the candles, it's back outside. I don't know what it does, but they hold the holy symbol up to the sky and let it absorb the sunlight."
Darkest Prison: "I can cover screwing that up."
Vladimere16: (...It would seem I forgot to add two things to tanis's sheet, his lizard corpse and cat.) Tanis drew out the decaying lizard corpse from the underground system they had been in before being here and tossed -
Vladimere16: -it around a bit in his hands. "I bet this could come in handy."
Darkest Prison: "And finally, they take the symbol back inside to the main chamber and...no one I spoke to knows. That's the private portion."
ranzunar: "The room shoud be pretty dark, just before that I can make Tanis invisible, make him cover the candle with something that stops the candle from being lit or something"
Vladimere16: "...Is that the portion we got invited to Dolo?"
ranzunar: (To simplify, Tiny has the cat with him)
Darkest Prison: (but you got the pussy)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Darkest Prison: (*hits my drum set*)
ranzunar: "I think so, as long as we aren't caught, I think we should be able to get in there no problem"
ranzunar: (LOL)
Vladimere16: "Now...I KNOW we can use this to fuck things up, I just need to figure out how exactly."
Vladimere16: Still tossing around Jimmy.
Darkest Prison: (you...named it?)
Vladimere16: (Yes.)
Vladimere16: (You're surprised?)
Darkest Prison: (sadly, no)
Vladimere16: (XDD(
Vladimere16: )*
Darkest Prison: "Ok, so I guess we're set."
ranzunar: "Sure place him on top of the candle, that should do it"
ranzunar: "When is all this happening?"
Darkest Prison: "It starts at dawn, and the private ceremony is at noon. When the sun is at its strongest. Bleh." Dais made a vomit motion, clutching his neck
Vladimere16: "If there was someway we could disrupt the private ceremony without anyone knowing it's us it'd be perfect."
Darkest Prison: "Don't worry at that point."
ranzunar: "May Hypnogogia guide us. One slip up and we're dead"
Darkest Prison: "I'll have the escape plan ready. do as you please once in private."
Vladimere16: "Ratsakh let me live to murder another day."
ranzunar: "Wait I think I have the perfect plan for that"
ranzunar: "Dais, once we kill everyone in the private ceremony, activate a demon illusion, then we open the doors escaping barely alive screaming run for your lives it's going to destroy us all"
Darkest Prison: (lol, one last Amplify joke. "it lasts 1 min/level." *looks at Dolorito* "So...a CL 5 scroll should be more than enough for you!")
Darkest Prison: "Sure."
ranzunar: "We should be able to escape in the ensuing chaos"
Vladimere16: (lmfao)
Vladimere16: "...Sounds like an excellent plan...I'll be wanting my black knife then."
Vladimere16: "Actually...I won't have time, nevermind."
Darkest Prison: "Of course. Now, sleep. I fucking hate waking up early. Might just sleep in till the outdoor sunlight crap."
Darkest Prison: Dais leaves through the window, jumping out, and tumbling softly onto the ground painlessly
Darkest Prison: Morning! Time to do this!
ranzunar: "We need some to sleep too Tanis, I don't know about you but I just had a rough workout"
Darkest Prison: (lol)
ranzunar: (Stupid Lag)
Darkest Prison: (poor tanis, way to rub it in)
Vladimere16: "...I sat here playing solitaire jackass."
Darkest Prison: (again, skipping to morning!)
ranzunar: "Ok Tanis stay close, I need you so I can disguise normal speach with spell components"
Darkest Prison: You both run outside to see the ceremony already starting. Lots of people are crowded at the street, making it fairly easy to not be seen. The Honor Guard is marching, ten strong, down the road, longspears twirling in perfect
Darkest Prison: rhythm and harmony above the head, each side under the arm, at 45 degree angles, and more. All while being a mere 5 ft apart. Very skillful!
ranzunar: (How long is the procession and how far do they walk?)
Darkest Prison: (about half a mile, and back. walking in a march, not too fast)
Darkest Prison: "Praise Pelor!" One shouts. "Protector of the weak! Defender of Life! Bane to the unholy undead!" The others shouted in response. This was repeated several times
ranzunar: (Ok, about half a minute into it, I'm gonna cast grease on the spear being held by the guy in the middle of the procession)
Darkest Prison: (lol, ok)
Darkest Prison: (reflex save, right?)
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
ranzunar: (Reflex save DC is 14)
Darkest Prison: He drops the spear!
Darkest Prison: "Oh, shit!" he exclaims, stopping and bending to pick it up, inadventently ducking under the next guy's spear
ranzunar: (Let's see if he can pick it up, it lasts for 4 rounds)
Darkest Prison: "Whoah!" You hear a crash of armor
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
Vladimere16: (Can you cast it again?)
Darkest Prison: (picks it up)
Darkest Prison: "Damnit, clumsy oaf! Keep moving!" "Right!" e marches forward, twirling...
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Darkest Prison: It flies out of his hands and the spearpoint bounces off the guy in front of him's armor!
Darkest Prison: "What the hell?"
Darkest Prison: "Sorry!"
ranzunar: (This is perfect)
Darkest Prison: You can now hear the crowd murmuring their displeasure
Vladimere16: Tanis joins in the murmuring of displeasure.
Vladimere16: And tries acting like he isn't enjoying it.
Darkest Prison: He runs out to go get it. "Stay in the line, dumbass!" "i need my spear!" "I don't care. march without it. Don't break the line."
Vladimere16: "Dolo, can you cast that spell again at the same guy's feet?"
ranzunar: (Ok as they are just about to make the turn back I'm gonna grease the floor, figure I can get two ttrip chances)
Darkest Prison: (actually, you'd get ten...)
Vladimere16: (XD)
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 10 20-sided dice: 16 13 11 12 1 1 2 14 1 12
Darkest Prison: Four don't fall down, the rest do
ranzunar: (I thought it was just a 10 ft square)
Darkest Prison: (err... 5 and 5)
Darkest Prison: (they're all marching in a line)
Vladimere16: "That was perfect Dolo."
Darkest Prison: In fact, as the first few fall, even ones that would have kept their balance struggle to avoid the pile up and fall down
ranzunar: (I love this spell)
Darkest Prison: "Oh, dear..." Aluvian worries, watching from the temple
Darkest Prison: "Attention! The march of the Honor Guard is now over! Come quickly to the temple for the ritual candle lighting, before space fills up!"
Darkest Prison: (lucas, we'll need at least two more hours, canyou stay that long?)
Vladimere16: "Alright, we need to hurry up so I can put Jimmy to use."
Darkest Prison: You manage to get inside.
Vladimere16: (I can go an hour, hour and a half will be pushing it.)
ranzunar: "Your turn Tanis, Invisible on you, you get four minutes to run ahead and screw stuff up"
Vladimere16: Tanis nodded, once he was invisible he rushed to the temple and to where the candle lighting was.
Vladimere16: (Anyone else there?)
ranzunar: (Ok let's speed things up)
Darkest Prison: Aluvian takes a large candle, holding it over her head. "Most blessed Pelor, we've had some poor omens thus far, from bandit raids, to rather...improper ceremony last night, to the disgrace of our honor guard..."
Darkest Prison: "Please, please make your presecense known, as we light this candle to welcome you to our town."
Vladimere16: Tanis just smirked when she said that...
ranzunar: (Do it Lucas, put Jimmy to good use)
Vladimere16: (ok...I need to ask something)
Darkest Prison: She puts the candle in a golden holder, coating the wick in a substance. She then took a magnifying glass, and positioned it to reflect the sun's rays towards the wick...
Darkest Prison: (what?)
Vladimere16: (I'm checking something to make sure I can even do this first)
Vladimere16: (ok, would throwing a burning lizard corpse at the candle be considered an attack?
Vladimere16: (Or at her?)
Darkest Prison: (...it would be an attack)
Vladimere16: (...damn.)
Darkest Prison: (just like cutting the ropes on a bridge is an attack)
ranzunar: (Dude, you can just fog up the magnifying glass with your breath, no one would know ant it wouldn't work)
Darkest Prison: (basically)
ranzunar: *and
Vladimere16: (Yeah)
ranzunar: (or move it half an inch to the left)
Darkest Prison: (better yet, draw the symbol of your god on the glass in thick black ink)
ranzunar: (oh that would be insanely cool)
Darkest Prison: (maybe that's pushing it...lol)
Vladimere16: When she held up the magnifying glass, Tanis quickly moved forward and breathed depply on it to fog it up and then in the fogged up reflection drew a crude symbol of a knife plunging down into the skull-
Vladimere16: -(Pretty much a line dropping into a circle with eyes, below the magnifying glass he left the corpse of Jimmy then took off.
ranzunar: (Attacking takes away invisibility so careful)
Vladimere16: (I technically didn't attack)
Vladimere16: (And tell me that corpse of a several days dead lizard suddenly appearing isn't creepy and I'll smack you.)
ranzunar: (yeah but had you thrown Jimmy, you would have been visible)
Darkest Prison: Aluvian watches in horror as some unseen force sullies the glass with such an abominable holy symbol. "My...my god... are we accursed?"
Darkest Prison: "...A lizard corpse?!"
Vladimere16: (Completely unnecessary? yes. Made me giggle? Yes.)
Darkest Prison: "Ok, folks, umm...next ritual!" She clearly wasn't having fun. "Outside to catch the strength of Pelor's light in his most preciousof holy symbols."
Darkest Prison: Folks seem kinda on edge now, very confused and worried
Vladimere16: Tanis quickly joined Dolo once everyone was back outside again.
ranzunar: Whispers, "Markham, stay close and don't do anything else"
Darkest Prison: And as they head outside...they look on in horror as the previously unabated sun is now quickly being blocked out by an incoming black cloud.
Darkest Prison: (gotta love silent image. and its LONG range.)
Vladimere16: He nodded his head as he whispered back, "No worries, I'm done now."
Darkest Prison: Unfortuantely, Dais was on a rooftop about 300 ft away, so he can't even message you two to brag
Vladimere16: (We made this ritual ten kinds of fucked up didn't we?)
ranzunar: (And here I thought you were just gonna cast darkness)
Darkest Prison: (yup)
Vladimere16: (Drawing the symbol of Hypnogognia would've been better but...he felt obligated to draw his own dieties symbolg.)
Darkest Prison: Aluvial looks about ready to cry now
Vladimere16: diety's*
Darkest Prison: (your correction was even more incorrect that the original)
Vladimere16: (Whoops?)
Darkest Prison: (well, not really...)
Darkest Prison: (dEIty)
Vladimere16: (Psh)
ranzunar: (actually it's spelled deity)
Vladimere16: "...Let's hope that the private ceremony turns out better, hm Calvin?" Markham looked worried about these turn of events.
Darkest Prison: "Umm...this concludes the public portion of the ceremony, so please go on home and gods help us all."
Darkest Prison: She heads back to the temple, trying to keep up a smile. A nervous smile.
Darkest Prison: (you go with her?)
Vladimere16: "Come on, let's go comfort the high priestess." He took Dolo back to the temple with him to find Aluvia.
ranzunar: (I follow, trying to console her, "don't worry Pelor allows this to test our strengh, He must obviously trust in your great resolve no matter what happens"
Darkest Prison: The Honor Guard stops you at the enterance. "Who are you?!" "O, they're the heroes that brought the symbol back. I remember," another said
Darkest Prison: *Oh
Darkest Prison: They grunt, letting you both pass
Darkest Prison: Aluvian was kneeling in prayer. She was speaking in Celestial, but anyone could tell it was some kind of desperate plea
ranzunar: "Thanks, try to calm down the people and raise their resolve"
Darkest Prison: He just stares forward, no reply
Darkest Prison: (say something? trying to speed this up...)
ranzunar: "Don't worry Aluvian, we are here to help you get through this, Pelor trusts you. I trust you. You can finish this."
Vladimere16: "You should continue on with the ceremony, have strength Aluvian."
Darkest Prison: "Thank you. I will try. In my earlier years, I'd let small setbacks tear me apart inside, but with Pelor's guidance, I know better than to succumb to such crippling sadness now."
Darkest Prison: "Wait here, I'll invite you to the main chamber in a moment."
Darkest Prison: She walks in, closing the door. A minute later, she comes back out.
Darkest Prison: "Ok, you two may enter now."
ranzunar: "As my father used to say, The ideal is something that should be sought but never expected, you can plan a ceremony and things can happen but finishing proves Pelor's will"
Vladimere16: When she said they could enter Tanis moved inside and glanced around.
Darkest Prison: "And...I'll take one of the Honor Guard with me for protection, just in case."
ranzunar: (Have we been in this room before?)
Darkest Prison: As all entered, the room doors closed shut. They were almost a foot thick, and clearly sound-proofed the room.
Vladimere16: Fuck! Came the one word to Tanis's mind. he had been hoping to avoid them.
ranzunar: "Whatever makes you feel comfortable, just remember that we are here too"
Darkest Prison: It was very large, about 50 ft across in a circle, with the stained glass roof shining light down from 60 ft up
Darkest Prison: (you have not been in here before. btw, do a d20 roll each, please)
OnlineHost: Vladimere16 rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
Darkest Prison: On the other end, the holy symbol had been planted into a large replica statue of Pelor
ranzunar: (Damn, just think how many she would have brought had Adam been here)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
Vladimere16: (lol
ranzunar: (uh oh)
Darkest Prison: (tanis notices something on his mind, probing. Dolo is blissfully ignorant)
Darkest Prison: (hmm...listen checks)
Vladimere16: His eyes twitched slightly at that...he quickly tried to fill his mind with happy thoughts of awe at being in such a sacred place and thoughts of worry at the ceremonies outside.
Darkest Prison: "Now, it is time for the most important part of the ceremony."
OnlineHost: Vladimere16 rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
Vladimere16: (10)
Darkest Prison: (nope)
ranzunar: "We are honored and humbled by being here with you"
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Darkest Prison: She walks over to the far wall, and offers a prayer to Pelor, or so it sounds (spellcraft)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Darkest Prison: What a beautiful prayer!
Vladimere16: (You're rolls are just full of suck right now, aren't they? lol)
Vladimere16: your*
ranzunar: (spelcraft 12, why can't I roll well)
Darkest Prison: Well, you're not sure what it is, but suddenly a ring of swirling blades surrounds her, as she climbs up the wall
Darkest Prison: And you can now see breastplate on under her stuffy ceremonial robes
ranzunar: (Damn, just remembered, less friends means no confident defense)
Vladimere16: (But...you have +2 confidence! lol)
Darkest Prison: "The most important part being, killing the people who've blasphemied Pelor's ritual!"
Darkest Prison: (I'll let you have it just this once with less people, gabe. you'll need it)
Vladimere16: "...Who did it?!"
ranzunar: "Markham it seems we're in trouble"
Vladimere16: "We didn't do anything though!"
Darkest Prison: "Don't act so naive! I saw through your story yesterday, unfortunately Linnal didn't"
ranzunar: (Thanks)
Darkest Prison: (SHE was the one that rolled sense motive. linnal wanted to beleive)
Vladimere16: "...Fuck."
Darkest Prison: "And just now, my scout tell me you detect as evil, Calvin. I assume that name is false?"
Darkest Prison: *tells
Darkest Prison: (d20 rolls were will saves. and if you'd like to try spotting the invisible person in the room at -20 penalty, go ahead)
ranzunar: "Would you believe that it this is all just some sort of dream and that you will soon awake to do the real ritual?"
OnlineHost: Vladimere16 rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
Vladimere16: (2 XD)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
Darkest Prison: "No, I wouldn't."
ranzunar: (D'ohh!)
Darkest Prison: "Soundsl ike things are going south," a voice exclaims from above.
ranzunar: "They never believe that"
Vladimere16: "Our jobs would be easier if they did."
Darkest Prison: A metal grating is kicked out 20 ft from the floor, as a rope drops down. Dais jumps down, tumbling the landing.
ranzunar: (Time for init?)
Darkest Prison: "Fortunately, this room is sound proof." "Yes, fortunately."
Darkest Prison: (roll it!)
Vladimere16: (...I don't suppose we got to keep our weapons?)

ranzunar: (wait there are 4 enemies?)
Darkest Prison: (Dolo, HG, Aluvian, Dais, Tanis, Musteval x2)
Darkest Prison: (yes)
Darkest Prison: (I was originally going to do 5 or 6. cut out two musteval)
Darkest Prison: (dolo!)
Darkest Prison: Honor Guard is in the center of the room, 25 ft away. A is on the wall, 20 ft up, 50 ft away. you don't see anyone else
ranzunar: "I'll cut down the guard" Inspire Courage Swift, battle leader's charge the HG
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Darkest Prison: Honor Guard has a glaive, btw
ranzunar: (Damn 12 doesn't hit I assume)
Darkest Prison: (you ignore aoo's? and no, it doesn't)
ranzunar: (Maneuver ignores AoOs yes)
Darkest Prison: The guard laughs at the miss, "Die, you scum!" He declares, stepping back and stabbing at you
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Darkest Prison: (AC?)
Darkest Prison: (after charging?)
ranzunar: (AC 21 after charging)
Darkest Prison: Miss
Darkest Prison: "Tell me, why did you do all this?!"
Vladimere16: "I did it for Ratsakh, The Black Knife."
Darkest Prison: Aluvian moves up another 20 ft, then fires a bolt of energy straight at Tanis
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
Darkest Prison: (touch AC?)
Vladimere16: (15)\
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 2 5

Vladimere16: (eep)
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Darkest Prison: "Ratsahk?! Isn't he a god of murder?!"
Vladimere16: Tanis flashed a grin of sadistic glee, "Why yes...yes he is."
Darkest Prison: "And I follow the way of Hypnogogia, the god your ceremony helps to keep imprisoned unjustly!"
Darkest Prison: Dais moved up to the guard, tumbling past the spearpoint and going invisible, stabbing for vitals... (cloak; claw at the moon)
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
Darkest Prison: (dang)

Darkest Prison: (I did. forgot the crit)
Darkest Prison: (you're adding +2, gabe?)
Darkest Prison: (23 damage!)
Darkest Prison: The guard stumbles slightly, badly wounded
Darkest Prison: Tanis!
ranzunar: (yeah +2 if it's a charge you add another +4)
Darkest Prison: "Ah! How did you strike me in such a weak point!"
Darkest Prison: (it's a standard action strike. +2d6 damage)
Vladimere16: (Drawing a wand is a move right?)
Darkest Prison: (yes, or can do it as part of a move)
ranzunar: (Yeah but I suggest drawing as you move more than 10ft)
Darkest Prison: "...I'm aware of Hypnogogia's fate. But it is necessary to keep him under the seal for the good of all life!"
ranzunar: "But life needs a real change, don't you think"
Darkest Prison: "I don't care! Life betrayed Hypnogogia, so it can just cease to exist for all he cares!"
Vladimere16: Tanis quickly disappears from sight as shadows swell up about his form then dissippate, he suddenly reappears 15ft. from where he was originally standing as a ray from a wand in his hand blasts up-
Vladimere16: -at Aluvian.(Cloak of shadows and drawing my wand of ray of clumsiness.)
OnlineHost: Vladimere16 rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
Darkest Prison: (fire! no SA damage, though. she has uncanny dodge)
Vladimere16: (Damn)
Vladimere16: (I always roll shitty when I use that wand.)

OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 2 4-sided dice: 3 1

Darkest Prison: miss
Darkest Prison: Aluvian...does nothing but move a little further up
ranzunar: "Apparently deflowering virgins tends to tire you more than usual I can't do anything right"
Darkest Prison: Dais moves around into better position, scoring the guard and both musteval with wave of grief
Darkest Prison: (tanis!)
Vladimere16: Tanis drops his wand to draw his bow and fires up at Aluvian once. "Get back down here damn you!"
Darkest Prison: "Those rat things are annoying."

OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
Darkest Prison: (wait)
ranzunar: (What?)
Darkest Prison: As you move in and start the swing, Aluvian takes her readied action. You feel everything tense up. (will save, and DC 17 spelcraft to recognize hold person)

Darkest Prison: "I won't let him die so soon!" She quickly prayed in one word of celestial to pelor (close wounds)
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 4-sided die: 4
Darkest Prison: (9 hp back)

OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 10

Vladimere16: (I'm being yelled at)
ranzunar: 23 intimidate and I recover my maneuvers
Darkest Prison: (tel them half an hour more?)
Vladimere16: (ok)
Darkest Prison: He's shaken
Darkest Prison: Nonetheless, he tries to impale Dolo once more!
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
Darkest Prison: And god he sucks!
Vladimere16: (If things keep going the way they are for Tanis he'll probably end up running or dieing.)
Darkest Prison: "Stupid rodents!" He charges at one of them
Vladimere16: "...Can we please slit his throat? I have...something I wanna do to him..."
Vladimere16: "Just let me kill him."
ranzunar: "Well you took the idea right out of me, just don't let anyone see you or a body afterwards"
Darkest Prison: "I'd rather leave him bound with an open wound and let him slowly bleed to death."
Vladimere16: "...Listen, just one small ritual, that's all I'm asking for. I'll take him out of town and perform everything in the wilderness."
Darkest Prison: "Heed the call of nature, then," Dais sighed
ranzunar: "Fine I'll check around town for some info"
Vladimere16: "Excellent...I
Vladimere16: (Damn enter button)
Vladimere16: "Excellent...I'll see you guys later then."
ranzunar: (let me make a quick gather info check)
Vladimere16: (Tanis is performing the ritual described in Ratsakh's info-nod-)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Darkest Prison: yup, lucas
ranzunar: (only a 13)
Darkest Prison: Dais aids
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
Darkest Prison: (barely)
ranzunar: (ok 15 on whether or not people are looking for the symbol and what do they want it for)
Darkest Prison: Dolo finds out that no one is sure what happened to the holy symbol, just that the temple is gravely worried it has heard nothing, and has sent search teams out to find out what happened
ranzunar: (oh by the way, in this towm I am taking on the persona of Calvin M. Burns)
ranzunar: (warrior with an interest in superstition and religion)
Darkest Prison: The symbol is the centerpeice of an annual ritual to Pelor to pray for the coming winter to be short and to hasten the arrival of spring
Darkest Prison: It is held at a different temple each year, and man, does this town look bad for fucking it up on their turn
ranzunar: "Dais you know more about the gods than I do, what can you tell me about Pelor besides the fact that he looks like the sun"
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
Vladimere16: Once Tanis finishes his business he returns to the town and looks for Dais and Dolo.
Darkest Prison: "He's...uh...I don't bother learning about other gods as much as I should..."
ranzunar: (making a bardic)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
ranzunar: (13)
Darkest Prison: Pelor's the sun god. He's the most commonly worshipped god among humans. When he smiles, you can hear a "ping" sound
Vladimere16: (hehe)
Darkest Prison: "You don't knw much about him, either?"
ranzunar: "Literally having a bright and sunny disposition doesn't agree with me"
Darkest Prison: "Tanis is back," Dais sees him from afar. "We need to get our plan down."
Vladimere16: Tanis also had a very bright smile on his face.
Darkest Prison: "Are you two going to go the 'brave guards' route?"
ranzunar: "Yeah I'm Calvin Burns one of the few survivors of the raid, we were barely able to save the symbol"
Darkest Prison: "Or maybe just one of you be the guard, the other one a rescuer?"
Darkest Prison: "Damn Tiny disappearing when we need him..."
ranzunar: "Tanis if you've got a good alter ego that you want to test out, now's the time"
Darkest Prison: "Ok, Calvin. What exactly happened, and how did you escape alive with the holy symbol?"
Vladimere16: "So am I being a rescuer or a faithful guard that fought to near death to protect the holy symbol alongside my allie?"
ranzunar: "The survivors were taken hostage and taken to a makeshift prison, me and a few others surprised the evil guards in the night got some equipment defeated are capturers and barely escaped"
Darkest Prison: "Be the guy that 'found' Calvin. The less people that have to fake being guards the better anyway."
Darkest Prison: "Who captured you? Why? And what happened to the other survivors?"
ranzunar: "Unfortunately, I was the only one that survived the battle, bloodied and hungry I was saved by this young wanderer"
Vladimere16: "Alright, so my name's Markham Du'Mas and as I traveled through the Kinshasa I spotted Calvin there, bloodied, tired, hungry and dehydrated. Of course I quickly went to his aid and once I learned of his plight, helped him here."
ranzunar: "It was apparently some other savages that inhabit Kinshasa, the orcs and such can only control so many, wandering marauders that's what they were, barely human"
Darkest Prison: "good enough. Now then, I'll stay to the shadows and help when I can, but once you introduce yourself, there'll be too much scrutiny. I need to keep from being seen with you, in case you need an outsider to join
Darkest Prison: the play later."
Darkest Prison: "Understand?"
ranzunar: "Fine, let's just hope that Tiny's visions can stop happening in time before we all get killed"
Vladimere16: Tanis nodded his head, "Yeah, this should work alright."
ranzunar: "Once we get in, no killing until the ceremony is practically over"
Darkest Prison: "When you get a room at the inn, ask for second floor, preferably a corner room, starting north and checking availability clockwise from there."
ranzunar: "Aren't you doing that?"
Darkest Prison: "I'll sneak in at night to discuss with you and sleep, and sneak back out early in the morning."
Darkest Prison: "It'd raise suspicions if someone else reserved your room. Better for you to do it. I'll find you guys."
Vladimere16: Tanis nodded his head, "Calvin and I are getting separate rooms I assume?" Referring to Dolo as Calvin just to keep the name fresh in his mind.
Vladimere16: "It wouldn't make sense for us to have the same room."
Darkest Prison: "While you two do your work, I'll plot an escape route from the main chamber of the temple."
Darkest Prison: "If you'd like"
ranzunar: "Seems like the right plan"
Darkest Prison: "So, everyone ready? Remember, above all else. Hypnogogia needs us to ruin each ceremony to as great a degree as possible, without being exposed for our intent, whatever the cost."
ranzunar: "Markham let's put on some diguises and play wandering heroes save the day"
ranzunar: "Between some magic and creativity we should be able to do this"
Vladimere16: "Alright, I figure I should be wearing clothes that would make me look like I was planning on going hunting through the Kinshasa."
Vladimere16: "I thought maybe that would be my reason for why I was there when I spotted you."
Darkest Prison: Dais heads off, slinking into the crowd. You quickly lose sight of him.
ranzunar: "Hunter might just do it, between your bow and your swords you should convince anyone"
Vladimere16: Oh, before Dais headed off Tanis passed him a simple black knife, it would be extremely bad if Tanis got cought with that, he thought it'd be a better idea to send it off with him.
Darkest Prison: (yes)
ranzunar: "Ok Markham lets leave town and play our parts, dramatically!"
Vladimere16: Tanis nodded his head, "Alrighty then!"
ranzunar: (I change my hair style and use some stuff from my disguise it to look like a Calvin)
Vladimere16: (Tanis just puts on some clothes that'll make him look like a hunter in the Kinshasa, even wears a turban style hat thing.)
Darkest Prison: (ok. ready to start the show?)
ranzunar: (I may not be ready, but I am willing)
Darkest Prison: (going to the temple, or making some scene at the town entrance?)
ranzunar: (Scene at the town entrance)
Darkest Prison: (describe what you're doing, then)
ranzunar: (Ok I'm stumbling in from the horizon, with Markham helping me walk, each step seems painful but I continue as I lim forward)
ranzunar: *limp
Vladimere16: (I'm letting Calvin lean in on Markham, even using the composite longbow unstrung as a makeshift walking stick for him)
ranzunar: (As I get closer I start to yell out, "for the good sake of Pelor help us")
Darkest Prison: No guards are at the entrance this time of day. At the scream, some people react, looking to see what's going on, then calling for help
Darkest Prison: Some guards run out, shouting, "What's the problem?!"
ranzunar: "Please help us, we need to get to the temple, Pelor's will commands it"
Darkest Prison: "What! Who are you?"
ranzunar: "It his only through his strentgh that I am able to carry this here" (shows the symbol from his backpack)
ranzunar: "I was with the caravan that was attacked bringing the symbol to town"
Darkest Prison: "...Is that...my god!" The guards rush up, holding Calvin up under the shoulders and helping him walk toward the temple
Darkest Prison: "Who is this with you? Another survivor?"
ranzunar: "A wandering hero that saved from the desert's peril"
Vladimere16: "My name is Markham Du'Mas, I was hunting in the Kinshasa when I saw him." he followed along, wanting to make sure Calvin would be alright.
Darkest Prison: "Well, come along as well, then!" They escort the two of youto the temple gates, one running inside to get the head priest
ranzunar: "I was barely able to escape with the symbol, unfortunately I was the only survivor from the fight to escape barely alive"
Darkest Prison: The guard comes running back out. "You two are invited inside. Bless you for your heroism."
ranzunar: "Thank you good sir and may you blessed as wee"
ranzunar: *well
Darkest Prison: The guards bow and leave
Vladimere16: Markham moved to continue supporting Calvin as they headed inside, a look of awe on his face at being in such a holy place.
ranzunar: (ok I find a column to lean on or something)
Darkest Prison: The temple was built out of stone ,with many stained glass windows along the sides and some on the roof, letting the bright sunshine fill the room
ranzunar: (damn lag)
ranzunar: "It's as if Pelor welcomes us"
Darkest Prison: "I hear you went through quite the ordeal to complete your mission, Mr... Calvin, was it?"
ranzunar: "Yes, Calvin M. Burns, just glad to help and be alive to tell about it"
Darkest Prison: The head priestess purred slightly, walking out from behind a corner. She walked up to look the two of you in the face, actually bowing in reverance
Vladimere16: Tanis's eyes twitched slightly when he saw they were dealing with a woman and managed to supress a chuckle. When she bowed to him he began to stammer and then quickly bowed himself. "I-
Darkest Prison: She was wearing a long, flowing yellow gown, a sun-themed tiara on her head
Vladimere16: -should be the one bowing to one as holy as yourself, not you to me."
Vladimere16: you to us*
ranzunar: "A young priest with his dyeing breath told me to get this to the head priest no matter what. Are you her?
Darkest Prison: "Please, don't say such a thing. You have no idea how great a deed you've done in securing the holy symbol for us. The festival couldn't even go on without it."
Darkest Prison: "Yes, I am. I thank you. But for now, is there anything I can do for you? A place to rest, food to eat?"
ranzunar: (I barely bow, the wincing from the pain stopping me midway)
Darkest Prison: "...Some healing, perhaps?"
Darkest Prison: She moves closer, wanting to inspect the wounds
Darkest Prison: (if either of you care, long blonde hair, slim figure, modestly endowed, and has a "charisma bonus.")
ranzunar: "Some lodging would be nice, but my appetite for curiosity is far greater. I feel that Pelor wanted me here, can you pplease let me know and see the ritual that soon commences?"
Vladimere16: (Yes, I care lol)
Vladimere16: (Tanis:...Too bad it'd be impossible for me to convert her to Ratsakh...god that would be AWESOME)\
Darkest Prison: (damn, gabe. you're way too forward with her)
ranzunar: "I'm a quick healer, just give me a day's rest and a good meal and I should be ok"
Darkest Prison: "The ritual? It's just as the townsfolk would tell you, a festival to pray for a swift return of spring and harvest time."
ranzunar: "Pardon my forwardness, please just help me to understand the importance of this symbol, I've always had faith in Pelor but now I just want to know more"
Darkest Prison: She bit her lip a little, "I...I guess we could let you two in to view the entire ceremony, in honor of your bravery, if you wish to see it all. It's rather boring to most folks."
ranzunar: "To help others as He has helped me"
Vladimere16: "I've never seen any sort of religious ritual before...it...It would be a great honor for me to see this."
Darkest Prison: "Yes, this is important. I myself have a...unfortunate past. Then, I found Pelor, and ever since I have devoted my life to his teachings of peace and respect for life."
ranzunar: "Most folk haven't risked life and limb in order to make this ritual possible"
Darkest Prison: "Oh, my! I didn't even introduce myself, I was so relieved about the holy symbol. I am Aluvian, High Priestess of Pelor."
Vladimere16: "It is an honor to meet you, ma'am. I am Markham Du'Mas." Oh, Markham had totally taken off his turban when they entered the temple.
Darkest Prison: "Allow me to introduce you to some others here." She said, giving the holy symbol to another priest and telling him to put it in "the safe place."
ranzunar: "Aluvian, pleased to make your acquiantance"
Vladimere16: (Maaaan, if only Tanis could have more time with her he'd SO try and convert her.)
Darkest Prison: Aluvian leads you two through a door on the side. Inside this room, about ten heavily armored soldiers in full plate have taken off their helmets and are enjoying a mid-day meal
Darkest Prison: "These are the Pelor Honor Guard, powerful foes of all that is evil, and guardians of this temple for generations."
ranzunar: (ok no funny business in here)
Darkest Prison: "If... if we knew how dangerous the trip would be, we would have sent them as guards instead of your retinue," she said to Calvin, in a manner both apologetic and humble,
Darkest Prison: yet also by its nature kind of insulting about his abilities
Vladimere16: Tanis followed along, that look of awe still on his face though he was taking note of everything.
Darkest Prison: The soldiers looked up from their meals long enough to grunt, "hello," before going back to work. err...eating
ranzunar: "Their work is full of honor and good, it is a shame that some of them did not accompany us with the caravan, perhaps we could have avoided so much trouble"
Darkest Prison: They were all pretty large, with hands that looked like they could crush skulls in
Darkest Prison: "Well, it seems they're busy. They like to eat quickly to be back on watch, manners aren't really their strong suit." (sense motive if you want, they ARE decent at diplomacy)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
ranzunar: (11 sense motive)
Darkest Prison: (you think she might be downplaying their social skills)
Darkest Prison: "Here, let me introduce you to someone else important to our community, and especially important to the ceremony."
Darkest Prison: She leads you out to another side room
Darkest Prison: In here is a cusioned area with its own alter for prayer. Inside is a single girl, looks about 16, kneeled in prayer to the sun god
Darkest Prison: *cushioned
Darkest Prison: "Linnal, we have some special guests i'd like you to meet." "Oh? Thank you, Miss Aluvial."
Darkest Prison: She turns around to look at you two, "I am Linnal, pleasure to meetyou both," she curtseyed
Vladimere16: Tanis quickly bowed in response to the curtsey, "I am Markham Du'Mas."
Darkest Prison: She had braided brown hair, was about 5'3", wore a white fluffy gown and had a fair complextion, fairly pretty
Vladimere16: I'm tempted to convert to Pelor if for no other reason than the pretty girls...Tanis thought to himself.
ranzunar: "Had I known that Pelor had such beautiful woman to praise him I would have made sure to be less injured before entering this temple, I'm Calvin"
Darkest Prison: "Linnal, this man survived the attack on the procession, fought back agianst his captors, and even managed to bring back our precious holy symbol! And this man helped him make it through Kinshasa alive."
Darkest Prison: "Oh, wow!" She stared at Calvin wide-eyed
Vladimere16: ...Tanis blinked...she totally just made it sound like he did nothing at all...dumb bitch...
Darkest Prison: "Tell me about it, Mister Calvin! It sounds so exciting!"
Darkest Prison: (note to tanis: having high cha has perks)
Vladimere16: (XD)
ranzunar: "I couldn't have done it if not for Pelor's blessings and of course without Markham saving me"
Vladimere16: (Yeah, Tanis's isn't as good as Dolo's.)
Darkest Prison: (he gets a -2 ugly penalty for being half-giant, though)
ranzunar: "these stories are so gruesome, scary and violent. Such an innocent lady as yourself shouldn't want to hear these things"
Vladimere16: (Who gets a -2?)
Darkest Prison: "No, please! I'm just a girl from a small town, I don't get to meet actual heroes very often! Tell me everything!"
Darkest Prison: (sir)
Vladimere16: "I did what anyone in my position would do...when you come across an injured man practically dieing in the Kinshasa you do not look the other way. You help -
Vladimere16: -him in hopes that should the same ever happen to you, someone will be there."
Darkest Prison: (oh, as good as dolo's. I thought you said yours wasn't as good as sir's, which it also isn't)
Vladimere16: (Yeeeaaah, Tanis's is only 14.)
ranzunar: "Well if you must know I'll tell you, but first can you get me some water, Kinshasa has left me with a fierce thirst"
Darkest Prison: "Thank you for saving Calvin's life! If you hadn't...I'd never have been able to meet him."
Darkest Prison: "Right away!" She ran off to fetch some and was back promptly
ranzunar: (Do I really have to tell her the whole story?)
Darkest Prison: Alluvial just smiled and watched
Darkest Prison: (you can just say, you do without actually doing it)
ranzunar: (lagging like crazy be patient with me)
Vladimere16: As he recounted the tale Tanis moved to stand near Alluvial, "How long have you been a follower of Pelor, ma'am?"
Darkest Prison: Linnal listened intently, hanging on every word as Calvin described his ordeal
ranzunar: (Ok I tell her the story in a heroic fashion as I had planned with Dais just before putting plan in action, roll bluff I assume)
Darkest Prison: "Please, don't call me ma'am, it makes me feel old," she chuckled. "About six years now."
Darkest Prison: (sure, roll bluff)
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
Darkest Prison: (nice!)
Vladimere16: (Awesome)
Darkest Prison: (I meant for me, lucas. :-P look who rolled)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Vladimere16: (oh.)
Darkest Prison: (LOL!)
Vladimere16: (I thought HE rolle---GODDAMMIT!)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Vladimere16: "My apologies. What has it been like being under his service?"
ranzunar: (oh frack 11 bluff total)
Darkest Prison: "Really, Mr. Calvin! You...were you purposely embellishing your tale just to impress me?" She blushed at the thought
Darkest Prison: (I'd suggest saying yes)
Vladimere16: (lol)
ranzunar: "Well I once heard that dead men tell no tales so I decided that those that fought with me should have the hero's treatment also"
Darkest Prison: She laughed, "Ooh, so poetic..."
Vladimere16: Must...not...fuck things up...
Darkest Prison: "I've decided! Aluvian, I um...annul my earlier choice. I choose a hero, Calvin, instead."
ranzunar: "Forgive me for being so overzealous about the ordeal as to mislead you into thinking of me as such a hero"
Vladimere16: Tanis blinked a bit at that and then stared at the girl...the hell did she just say?!
Darkest Prison: Aluvian looked surprised. "Oh? Are you sure? To change your mind so soon before the ceremony?"
Darkest Prison: "I think it'd be a mistake not to."
ranzunar: "Excuse me?"
Darkest Prison: "Oh, you don't know what I'm talking about do you?"
Darkest Prison: "I'm... ah, you see..." "She's the chosen virgin priestess of Pelor."
ranzunar: "Pardon my ignorance and my prying, but please explain this to me"
Darkest Prison: Aluvian interrupted for her
Vladimere16: Tanis couldn't help but cough and sputter a bit when they said what she was.
ranzunar: (Damn it Marc, helping my character get laid just goes further into existencial irony)
Darkest Prison: "To commence the ceremony each year, the chosen virgin takes a lover the night beforehand, to symbolize the growth and life that Pelor watches over. The union always results in an offspring, which is always blessed by Pelor
Darkest Prison: himself."
Darkest Prison: (remember, gabe? when I was like *mustn't ruin surprise* when we were talking about said irony?)
Vladimere16: Tanis blinked up at Dolo...The idea of murdering the girl the night before the ceremony was almost too good to pas---IDEA! Mwahahaha!!!
Darkest Prison: "The man I chose already I did so because he became permanently disabled. He lost a leg saving a boy from a plow that had run amock due to no driver."
Darkest Prison: "But I didn't really want him...I'm sure he'll take the news gently."
ranzunar: (Oh crap) "It appears that Pelor truly has blessed me, but such a decision shouldn't be undertaken so quickly by a girl your age. If Pelor allows it, then let it be so, but only if you truly want to"
Darkest Prison: "I do!"
Vladimere16: Tanis was struggling to suppress a grin of sadistic glee.
Darkest Prison: Her eyes lit up, "You would be ok with it, right?"
ranzunar: "Let me ask another who is wiser than oth of us. Aluvian, your blessing for this is just as important, do you think this is best?"
Darkest Prison: "Linnal, it's a sudden request. Although, we should inform Mr. Laungschimdt immediately if there is to be the change. It's to occur tonight, after all!"
ranzunar: *both
Darkest Prison: "Pelor wills that the virgin choose her partner,so of course I bless the union. I haven't much choice."
Darkest Prison: *Laungschmidt, bah whatever. it's a bs name for some guy who's only getting mentioned in passing
Darkest Prison: (so, dolo...gonna take one for the team? :-))
ranzunar: "It appears that Pelor has brought us together, who am I to say that this is not His will"
Darkest Prison: "Oh, great! Miss Aluvian, dispatch a messenger to tell Mr. Laungschmidt my change of heart at once!"
ranzunar: (Let me say for the record that I am officially uncomfortable with this)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Darkest Prison: "Shouldn't you tell him yourself?" "I'd...rather not have to tell him and let him down, what with him being crippled and all."
Darkest Prison: (lol, good. uncomfortable was what i was going for)
ranzunar: "Insist that it is Pelor's choice not yours, that should ease the information"
Darkest Prison: "Calvin, meet me here when the sun has completely set, ok?"
Vladimere16: (Dolo should kill her in the night then beat the shit out of himself to near unconsiousness and then say an assassin came and killed her and thought they killed him)
Darkest Prison: (or...fuck her...)
Vladimere16: (But...but...He could fuck her then kill her?)
Darkest Prison: (or maybe in reverse order!)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Vladimere16: (As long as the body's warm it's not creepy-nod-)
Darkest Prison: (ah, so terrible)
ranzunar: (perhaps uncomfortable wasn't a strong enough word)
Darkest Prison: So...you bid adeiu and head back for the inn?
Vladimere16: Sure.
Darkest Prison: (consider this a test gabe. to see if you can actually RP an evil character.)
Darkest Prison: (cause...this is FAR from the worst you'll be doing)
ranzunar: "Ironic that I should be with you thanks to Pelor and we must wait until the sun sets for me to be with you"
Darkest Prison: "His light will be with us in our union at the darkest of hours."
Vladimere16: ...Hey...then Hypnogognia or what the hell ever his name is can watch!
ranzunar: (Good thing I took those acting classes)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Darkest Prison: (*reminds me of xykon watching the dwarf sex on his crystal ball*)
Vladimere16: (ewwww)
ranzunar: (I thought it was Red Cloak, MITD, and cockroaches)
Vladimere16: (SO back to the inn?)
Darkest Prison: You reach the hotel, and get the room you want after 3 failed tries, using Dais's order preference
Darkest Prison: (maybe, i forget if xykon watched)
Vladimere16: Once in the privacy of the room Tanis just started laughing at Dolo. "Alright...So I've got a couple ideas here."
Darkest Prison: (feel free to discuss for tomorrow. and...tonight *wink*)
ranzunar: "No killing her, 5 gold pieces says that she is needed for the ritual, can't arise suspicion just yet"
Darkest Prison: A few moments later, you two hear a knock on the door. "Room service!"
Vladimere16: "Both involve kil---Gods damn you."
Vladimere16: ...Tanis moved to open the door and peer out.
Darkest Prison: If no one opensit in ten seconds, "fucking open it," is added in gnome
Darkest Prison: "Thanks. I just came by to tell you about events going on this evening and --" he started, slipping in and closing the door, tearing off his disguise
Vladimere16: Once Dais was in the room and they had their privacy once more, "Exactly, I want to disrupt the ritual and what better way than to kill the girl...or convert her or the high priestess?"
Darkest Prison: "--the fuck is wrong with you!" he yelled, smacking tanis on the head
ranzunar: "Dais, glad to see you, what have you found out?"
Vladimere16: "What the hell?"
Darkest Prison: "I can't sneak in from the outside in daylight, you know. Good thing I was following you and saw you calling it a night so early."
Vladimere16: "...Not my fault!"
Vladimere16: "He.." Point at Dolo, "Has to screw some girl tonight."
Darkest Prison: "There's a passageway we can use from the main chamber, I'm working on clearing it out and making sure the exit point isn't watched tomorrow."
Darkest Prison: "What?!"
ranzunar: "Let's just say we need to plan quick, I have other "pressing" engagements"
Vladimere16: "It's part of the ritual, he has to knock her up."
Darkest Prison: "That actually happens?"
Vladimere16: "Ayyup."
Vladimere16: "I wanna kill her."
Darkest Prison: "Awesome!"
Darkest Prison: "No! Don't kill her!"
Vladimere16: "...Just once I
Vladimere16: (damn enter)
Darkest Prison: "It's a church. you're fucking her to make a baby, aren't you?"
ranzunar: "Apparently having a hero conceive a baby with a local virgin is important for the ritual. Good thing I aint no hero"
Vladimere16: "...Just once I'd like to be able to murder someone when I want to."
Darkest Prison: "You did. This morning. Priest. In the forest."
Vladimere16: "I didn't get to do it when I first wanted to."
ranzunar: "Yeah a baby should come out of this, think I need to avoid such a position?"
Darkest Prison: "look, remember what Hypnogogia said. We can't stop things from happening, we need to ruin them. I'm pretty sure killing the mother counts as 'stopping' the pregnancy"
ranzunar: "Calm down Tanis, there will be plenty of killing later"
Vladimere16: "Is there any sort of tozin or something we can use to mess up the pregnancy later in time or whatever?"
Darkest Prison: "Hmm...it's a goody-two-shoes god... I'm sure we could make the sex unholy and ruin any spiritual significance of it."
ranzunar: "Can't I drop her unconscious and say we did it? She's still happy and we don't arouse suspicion"
Darkest Prison: "Like...convince her not to do missionary position. Maybe get someone to watch it voyeristically. Maybe I could do that..."
Vladimere16: "...So toss in some oral?"
Darkest Prison: "Sure!"
Vladimere16: "Fucking perv ass gnome."
Darkest Prison: "It's our god's will, jack ass."
ranzunar: "So you're saying take advantage of her and be kinky?"
Darkest Prison: "Yeah. What else would Pelor not like? Anal?"
Vladimere16: "Yeah, anal, non missionary...and if you really wanna fuck things up...and gods is this digusting, try and sneak a small rodent in some how..."
Vladimere16: "And I wish I was kidding."
Darkest Prison: "Maybe bring some aphrodesiacs to alter her mood."
ranzunar: "Maybe a Dirty Sanchez at the end, or whatever they call it around this area"
Darkest Prison: "...That's just disgusting."
ranzunar: "Magic ones work well, I can cast suggestion to get her into doing it the nonholy way"
Darkest Prison: "Sure."
Vladimere16: "And completely messed up and wrong and sure to make the consumation unholy."
Darkest Prison: "Maybe bring another girl."
ranzunar: "Well I have been trying to find more uses for the grease spell"
Darkest Prison: "Whatever your sick mind wants, Dolorito," he chuckled
Darkest Prison: (I have an idea, but my character wouldn't think of it)
Vladimere16: "Oh, Dais...we need to convert the high priestess Alluvian. She apparently had a 'bad' past before worshipping Pelor...I don't know if we can do it in such short time though."
ranzunar: "Ok perhaps we need to focus on the other things we need to take care of besides fucking a girl"
Darkest Prison: (scroll of Amplify)
Vladimere16: (hehehe)
ranzunar: (ROFLOL)
Vladimere16: (That....would be HILARIOUS)
Darkest Prison: (it's a bard spell. makes sounds in the area carry over long distances)
Darkest Prison: "Doesn't sound worth the trouble. We can't keep the cover IDs up and try to convert her, either."
Vladimere16: "That's true."
ranzunar: (Because we want to entire temple to hear her moans and thus make it unholy sex)
Vladimere16: (Yes.)
Darkest Prison: "Look, I'll come back later to sleep. Your sword is needed elsewhere, Dolo (laughter). We'll talk later."
Darkest Prison: (more like half the town)
Darkest Prison: it is getting close to sundown
Vladimere16: Tanis snickered a bit at that as well, "Alright, well go off and fight your battle there Dolo...I guess I'll just stick around here."
ranzunar: "I'm pretty sure that once I'm over there I can't come back, any last minute planning?"
Darkest Prison: "Don't panic."
Darkest Prison: "I'll be watching." *small smile*
Vladimere16: Tanis lost it again with that.
ranzunar: (Fine, let's do this, skip the sex cutscene please)
Darkest Prison: (now then, gabe. much as I like the comedic value in this, I respect your desire to..not do this. we can fully RP it, or you can just say what you're doing to unholy the act and we cut to afterwards, your call)
Darkest Prison: (ok)
Darkest Prison: *waiting*
ranzunar: (Let's avoid graphic descriptions, my mom may come in at any moment and she taught me how to speed read)
Vladimere16: (lol)
ranzunar: (So cut to afterwards please)
Darkest Prison: (fine. *reads amplify* holy crap is this spell perfect!)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Darkest Prison: (reduces listen DCs to hear by 20, aka +200 ft hearing range. "The creatures within the spell's area do not notice the increased amplification")
Vladimere16: (...that IS perfect)
ranzunar: (Ok I either use suggestion to get her to do kinky stuff, or Ventrilouism to make her think that Pelor wants her to do kinky stuff)
Darkest Prison: *rolls will save with -2 circumstance penalty*
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Vladimere16: (lmao...suggestion. It'll be easier)
Darkest Prison: (she's suggested!)
ranzunar: (Too bad I can't inspire competence in myself, or get an inspirational boost out of it)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Vladimere16: Tanis played sollitaire in the hotel room.
Darkest Prison: afterwards, she seems rather pleased, and as for you... you would have never guessed a sacred girl of pelor could be that much of a freak
Darkest Prison: (from now on, dolo gets a +2 circumstance bonus on "confidence checks")
ranzunar: (Ok I tell her that we need to do it "hero style" and for her to just let things happen)
Darkest Prison: Dais hops in through the window well after sundown
ranzunar: (the hell is a confidence check?)
Vladimere16: (The window of the hotel room?)
Darkest Prison: (I don't know. but you get a +2 on it)
Darkest Prison: (inn room)
Vladimere16: (XD)
Darkest Prison: (whatever)
Vladimere16: "Hey there Dais...How'd everything go?"
Darkest Prison: "I could hear her from outside the building, so well for Dolorito, I guess."
Vladimere16: Tanis smirked and shook his head some as he gathered up the cards and let out a short yawn, "Well good for him...So how're we gonna further botch things up tomorrow?"
Darkest Prison: "Well, till he gets here, let's start going over strategy."
Vladimere16: "I'm gonna have to keep up with my persona until we get out of this town huh?"
Darkest Prison: "First is a procession of the Pelor Honor Guard through the main street. I trust you two to fuck that up."
Darkest Prison: "Yes."
ranzunar: (I need my 8 hours of sleep to recover spells, not sure if they let me get out without any problems after the deed has been done)
Darkest Prison: "Hence why I'm keeping out of it in the public eye, in case you need a new actor."
Vladimere16: "Alright, take good care of that knife then. As for the Honor Guard...I'm not sure what to do there. They're some big ass beasts of soldiers. I'm willing to bet they could crusg Tiny's skull if they tried.""
Darkest Prison: (you get out fine. the guys look at you with a mix of jealously and "the fuck is wrong with you?" the ladies look at you disgusted when anyone else is looking at them, fawning otherwise)
Vladimere16: crush*
Vladimere16: (lol)
ranzunar: I get to the room, "Well that went swell"
Darkest Prison: "After that, they go into the temple for a candle lighting...I don't think it's possible to mess that up."
Darkest Prison: "Gosh golly, did it?"
Vladimere16: "Alluvian said that Dolo and I could witness the actual ritual as an honor to us for saving the holy symbol."
ranzunar: "Ok I can trip a few people with grease and leave no evidence"
Darkest Prison: "Good."
Darkest Prison: "After the candles, it's back outside. I don't know what it does, but they hold the holy symbol up to the sky and let it absorb the sunlight."
Darkest Prison: "I can cover screwing that up."
Vladimere16: (...It would seem I forgot to add two things to tanis's sheet, his lizard corpse and cat.) Tanis drew out the decaying lizard corpse from the underground system they had been in before being here and tossed -
Vladimere16: -it around a bit in his hands. "I bet this could come in handy."
Darkest Prison: "And finally, they take the symbol back inside to the main chamber and...no one I spoke to knows. That's the private portion."
ranzunar: "The room shoud be pretty dark, just before that I can make Tanis invisible, make him cover the candle with something that stops the candle from being lit or something"
Vladimere16: "...Is that the portion we got invited to Dolo?"
ranzunar: (To simplify, Tiny has the cat with him)
Darkest Prison: (but you got the pussy)
Vladimere16: (lol)
Darkest Prison: (*hits my drum set*)
ranzunar: "I think so, as long as we aren't caught, I think we should be able to get in there no problem"
ranzunar: (LOL)
Vladimere16: "Now...I KNOW we can use this to fuck things up, I just need to figure out how exactly."
Vladimere16: Still tossing around Jimmy.
Darkest Prison: (you...named it?)
Vladimere16: (Yes.)
Vladimere16: (You're surprised?)
Darkest Prison: (sadly, no)
Vladimere16: (XDD(
Vladimere16: )*
Darkest Prison: "Ok, so I guess we're set."
ranzunar: "Sure place him on top of the candle, that should do it"
ranzunar: "When is all this happening?"
Darkest Prison: "It starts at dawn, and the private ceremony is at noon. When the sun is at its strongest. Bleh." Dais made a vomit motion, clutching his neck
Vladimere16: "If there was someway we could disrupt the private ceremony without anyone knowing it's us it'd be perfect."
Darkest Prison: "Don't worry at that point."
ranzunar: "May Hypnogogia guide us. One slip up and we're dead"
Darkest Prison: "I'll have the escape plan ready. do as you please once in private."
Vladimere16: "Ratsakh let me live to murder another day."
ranzunar: "Wait I think I have the perfect plan for that"
ranzunar: "Dais, once we kill everyone in the private ceremony, activate a demon illusion, then we open the doors escaping barely alive screaming run for your lives it's going to destroy us all"
Darkest Prison: (lol, one last Amplify joke. "it lasts 1 min/level." *looks at Dolorito* "So...a CL 5 scroll should be more than enough for you!")
Darkest Prison: "Sure."
ranzunar: "We should be able to escape in the ensuing chaos"
Vladimere16: (lmfao)
Vladimere16: "...Sounds like an excellent plan...I'll be wanting my black knife then."
Vladimere16: "Actually...I won't have time, nevermind."
Darkest Prison: "Of course. Now, sleep. I fucking hate waking up early. Might just sleep in till the outdoor sunlight crap."
Darkest Prison: Dais leaves through the window, jumping out, and tumbling softly onto the ground painlessly
Darkest Prison: Morning! Time to do this!
ranzunar: "We need some to sleep too Tanis, I don't know about you but I just had a rough workout"
Darkest Prison: (lol)
ranzunar: (Stupid Lag)
Darkest Prison: (poor tanis, way to rub it in)
Vladimere16: "...I sat here playing solitaire jackass."
Darkest Prison: (again, skipping to morning!)
ranzunar: "Ok Tanis stay close, I need you so I can disguise normal speach with spell components"
Darkest Prison: You both run outside to see the ceremony already starting. Lots of people are crowded at the street, making it fairly easy to not be seen. The Honor Guard is marching, ten strong, down the road, longspears twirling in perfect
Darkest Prison: rhythm and harmony above the head, each side under the arm, at 45 degree angles, and more. All while being a mere 5 ft apart. Very skillful!
ranzunar: (How long is the procession and how far do they walk?)
Darkest Prison: (about half a mile, and back. walking in a march, not too fast)
Darkest Prison: "Praise Pelor!" One shouts. "Protector of the weak! Defender of Life! Bane to the unholy undead!" The others shouted in response. This was repeated several times
ranzunar: (Ok, about half a minute into it, I'm gonna cast grease on the spear being held by the guy in the middle of the procession)
Darkest Prison: (lol, ok)
Darkest Prison: (reflex save, right?)
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
ranzunar: (Reflex save DC is 14)
Darkest Prison: He drops the spear!
Darkest Prison: "Oh, shit!" he exclaims, stopping and bending to pick it up, inadventently ducking under the next guy's spear
ranzunar: (Let's see if he can pick it up, it lasts for 4 rounds)
Darkest Prison: "Whoah!" You hear a crash of armor
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
Vladimere16: (Can you cast it again?)
Darkest Prison: (picks it up)
Darkest Prison: "Damnit, clumsy oaf! Keep moving!" "Right!" e marches forward, twirling...
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Darkest Prison: It flies out of his hands and the spearpoint bounces off the guy in front of him's armor!
Darkest Prison: "What the hell?"
Darkest Prison: "Sorry!"
ranzunar: (This is perfect)
Darkest Prison: You can now hear the crowd murmuring their displeasure
Vladimere16: Tanis joins in the murmuring of displeasure.
Vladimere16: And tries acting like he isn't enjoying it.
Darkest Prison: He runs out to go get it. "Stay in the line, dumbass!" "i need my spear!" "I don't care. march without it. Don't break the line."
Vladimere16: "Dolo, can you cast that spell again at the same guy's feet?"
ranzunar: (Ok as they are just about to make the turn back I'm gonna grease the floor, figure I can get two ttrip chances)
Darkest Prison: (actually, you'd get ten...)
Vladimere16: (XD)
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 10 20-sided dice: 16 13 11 12 1 1 2 14 1 12
Darkest Prison: Four don't fall down, the rest do
ranzunar: (I thought it was just a 10 ft square)
Darkest Prison: (err... 5 and 5)
Darkest Prison: (they're all marching in a line)
Vladimere16: "That was perfect Dolo."
Darkest Prison: In fact, as the first few fall, even ones that would have kept their balance struggle to avoid the pile up and fall down
ranzunar: (I love this spell)
Darkest Prison: "Oh, dear..." Aluvian worries, watching from the temple
Darkest Prison: "Attention! The march of the Honor Guard is now over! Come quickly to the temple for the ritual candle lighting, before space fills up!"
Darkest Prison: (lucas, we'll need at least two more hours, canyou stay that long?)
Vladimere16: "Alright, we need to hurry up so I can put Jimmy to use."
Darkest Prison: You manage to get inside.
Vladimere16: (I can go an hour, hour and a half will be pushing it.)
ranzunar: "Your turn Tanis, Invisible on you, you get four minutes to run ahead and screw stuff up"
Vladimere16: Tanis nodded, once he was invisible he rushed to the temple and to where the candle lighting was.
Vladimere16: (Anyone else there?)
ranzunar: (Ok let's speed things up)
Darkest Prison: Aluvian takes a large candle, holding it over her head. "Most blessed Pelor, we've had some poor omens thus far, from bandit raids, to rather...improper ceremony last night, to the disgrace of our honor guard..."
Darkest Prison: "Please, please make your presecense known, as we light this candle to welcome you to our town."
Vladimere16: Tanis just smirked when she said that...
ranzunar: (Do it Lucas, put Jimmy to good use)
Vladimere16: (ok...I need to ask something)
Darkest Prison: She puts the candle in a golden holder, coating the wick in a substance. She then took a magnifying glass, and positioned it to reflect the sun's rays towards the wick...
Darkest Prison: (what?)
Vladimere16: (I'm checking something to make sure I can even do this first)
Vladimere16: (ok, would throwing a burning lizard corpse at the candle be considered an attack?
Vladimere16: (Or at her?)
Darkest Prison: (...it would be an attack)
Vladimere16: (...damn.)
Darkest Prison: (just like cutting the ropes on a bridge is an attack)
ranzunar: (Dude, you can just fog up the magnifying glass with your breath, no one would know ant it wouldn't work)
Darkest Prison: (basically)
ranzunar: *and
Vladimere16: (Yeah)
ranzunar: (or move it half an inch to the left)
Darkest Prison: (better yet, draw the symbol of your god on the glass in thick black ink)
ranzunar: (oh that would be insanely cool)
Darkest Prison: (maybe that's pushing it...lol)
Vladimere16: When she held up the magnifying glass, Tanis quickly moved forward and breathed depply on it to fog it up and then in the fogged up reflection drew a crude symbol of a knife plunging down into the skull-
Vladimere16: -(Pretty much a line dropping into a circle with eyes, below the magnifying glass he left the corpse of Jimmy then took off.
ranzunar: (Attacking takes away invisibility so careful)
Vladimere16: (I technically didn't attack)
Vladimere16: (And tell me that corpse of a several days dead lizard suddenly appearing isn't creepy and I'll smack you.)
ranzunar: (yeah but had you thrown Jimmy, you would have been visible)
Darkest Prison: Aluvian watches in horror as some unseen force sullies the glass with such an abominable holy symbol. "My...my god... are we accursed?"
Darkest Prison: "...A lizard corpse?!"
Vladimere16: (Completely unnecessary? yes. Made me giggle? Yes.)
Darkest Prison: "Ok, folks, umm...next ritual!" She clearly wasn't having fun. "Outside to catch the strength of Pelor's light in his most preciousof holy symbols."
Darkest Prison: Folks seem kinda on edge now, very confused and worried
Vladimere16: Tanis quickly joined Dolo once everyone was back outside again.
ranzunar: Whispers, "Markham, stay close and don't do anything else"
Darkest Prison: And as they head outside...they look on in horror as the previously unabated sun is now quickly being blocked out by an incoming black cloud.
Darkest Prison: (gotta love silent image. and its LONG range.)
Vladimere16: He nodded his head as he whispered back, "No worries, I'm done now."
Darkest Prison: Unfortuantely, Dais was on a rooftop about 300 ft away, so he can't even message you two to brag
Vladimere16: (We made this ritual ten kinds of fucked up didn't we?)
ranzunar: (And here I thought you were just gonna cast darkness)
Darkest Prison: (yup)
Vladimere16: (Drawing the symbol of Hypnogognia would've been better but...he felt obligated to draw his own dieties symbolg.)
Darkest Prison: Aluvial looks about ready to cry now
Vladimere16: diety's*
Darkest Prison: (your correction was even more incorrect that the original)
Vladimere16: (Whoops?)
Darkest Prison: (well, not really...)
Darkest Prison: (dEIty)
Vladimere16: (Psh)
ranzunar: (actually it's spelled deity)
Vladimere16: "...Let's hope that the private ceremony turns out better, hm Calvin?" Markham looked worried about these turn of events.
Darkest Prison: "Umm...this concludes the public portion of the ceremony, so please go on home and gods help us all."
Darkest Prison: She heads back to the temple, trying to keep up a smile. A nervous smile.
Darkest Prison: (you go with her?)
Vladimere16: "Come on, let's go comfort the high priestess." He took Dolo back to the temple with him to find Aluvia.
ranzunar: (I follow, trying to console her, "don't worry Pelor allows this to test our strengh, He must obviously trust in your great resolve no matter what happens"
Darkest Prison: The Honor Guard stops you at the enterance. "Who are you?!" "O, they're the heroes that brought the symbol back. I remember," another said
Darkest Prison: *Oh
Darkest Prison: They grunt, letting you both pass
Darkest Prison: Aluvian was kneeling in prayer. She was speaking in Celestial, but anyone could tell it was some kind of desperate plea
ranzunar: "Thanks, try to calm down the people and raise their resolve"
Darkest Prison: He just stares forward, no reply
Darkest Prison: (say something? trying to speed this up...)
ranzunar: "Don't worry Aluvian, we are here to help you get through this, Pelor trusts you. I trust you. You can finish this."
Vladimere16: "You should continue on with the ceremony, have strength Aluvian."
Darkest Prison: "Thank you. I will try. In my earlier years, I'd let small setbacks tear me apart inside, but with Pelor's guidance, I know better than to succumb to such crippling sadness now."
Darkest Prison: "Wait here, I'll invite you to the main chamber in a moment."
Darkest Prison: She walks in, closing the door. A minute later, she comes back out.
Darkest Prison: "Ok, you two may enter now."
ranzunar: "As my father used to say, The ideal is something that should be sought but never expected, you can plan a ceremony and things can happen but finishing proves Pelor's will"
Vladimere16: When she said they could enter Tanis moved inside and glanced around.
Darkest Prison: "And...I'll take one of the Honor Guard with me for protection, just in case."
ranzunar: (Have we been in this room before?)
Darkest Prison: As all entered, the room doors closed shut. They were almost a foot thick, and clearly sound-proofed the room.
Vladimere16: Fuck! Came the one word to Tanis's mind. he had been hoping to avoid them.
ranzunar: "Whatever makes you feel comfortable, just remember that we are here too"
Darkest Prison: It was very large, about 50 ft across in a circle, with the stained glass roof shining light down from 60 ft up
Darkest Prison: (you have not been in here before. btw, do a d20 roll each, please)
OnlineHost: Vladimere16 rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
Darkest Prison: On the other end, the holy symbol had been planted into a large replica statue of Pelor
ranzunar: (Damn, just think how many she would have brought had Adam been here)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
Vladimere16: (lol
ranzunar: (uh oh)
Darkest Prison: (tanis notices something on his mind, probing. Dolo is blissfully ignorant)
Darkest Prison: (hmm...listen checks)
Vladimere16: His eyes twitched slightly at that...he quickly tried to fill his mind with happy thoughts of awe at being in such a sacred place and thoughts of worry at the ceremonies outside.
Darkest Prison: "Now, it is time for the most important part of the ceremony."
OnlineHost: Vladimere16 rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
Vladimere16: (10)
Darkest Prison: (nope)
ranzunar: "We are honored and humbled by being here with you"
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Darkest Prison: She walks over to the far wall, and offers a prayer to Pelor, or so it sounds (spellcraft)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Darkest Prison: What a beautiful prayer!
Vladimere16: (You're rolls are just full of suck right now, aren't they? lol)
Vladimere16: your*
ranzunar: (spelcraft 12, why can't I roll well)
Darkest Prison: Well, you're not sure what it is, but suddenly a ring of swirling blades surrounds her, as she climbs up the wall
Darkest Prison: And you can now see breastplate on under her stuffy ceremonial robes
ranzunar: (Damn, just remembered, less friends means no confident defense)
Vladimere16: (But...you have +2 confidence! lol)
Darkest Prison: "The most important part being, killing the people who've blasphemied Pelor's ritual!"
Darkest Prison: (I'll let you have it just this once with less people, gabe. you'll need it)
Vladimere16: "...Who did it?!"
ranzunar: "Markham it seems we're in trouble"
Vladimere16: "We didn't do anything though!"
Darkest Prison: "Don't act so naive! I saw through your story yesterday, unfortunately Linnal didn't"
ranzunar: (Thanks)
Darkest Prison: (SHE was the one that rolled sense motive. linnal wanted to beleive)
Vladimere16: "...Fuck."
Darkest Prison: "And just now, my scout tell me you detect as evil, Calvin. I assume that name is false?"
Darkest Prison: *tells
Darkest Prison: (d20 rolls were will saves. and if you'd like to try spotting the invisible person in the room at -20 penalty, go ahead)
ranzunar: "Would you believe that it this is all just some sort of dream and that you will soon awake to do the real ritual?"
OnlineHost: Vladimere16 rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
Vladimere16: (2 XD)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
Darkest Prison: "No, I wouldn't."
ranzunar: (D'ohh!)
Darkest Prison: "Soundsl ike things are going south," a voice exclaims from above.
ranzunar: "They never believe that"
Vladimere16: "Our jobs would be easier if they did."
Darkest Prison: A metal grating is kicked out 20 ft from the floor, as a rope drops down. Dais jumps down, tumbling the landing.
ranzunar: (Time for init?)
Darkest Prison: "Fortunately, this room is sound proof." "Yes, fortunately."
Darkest Prison: (roll it!)
Vladimere16: (...I don't suppose we got to keep our weapons?)
OnlineHost: Vladimere16 rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Vladimere16: (7)
