Session+Eight

[20:23] <@BradGM> **The blind Priest, Father Otto, explained to you a terrible vision which he saw an ancient champion of Chaos rising from somewhere in the Darkwald Forest-yet according to the old man, it was the horned skull he worn with a black chain around his neck that was calling forth his eminent freedom. [20:23] <@BradGM> Father Ranulf asked the party to seek out the relic and bring it back to Middenheim; at least to keep it out of reach of the agents of chaos, at best to remove its presence from the face of the Old World. It took some convincing, promises of rewards and even a small sum for equipment to get everyone onboard. [20:23] <@BradGM> After taking possession of the equipment budget, alongside a blessed wooden box to safely carry the Skull without risking touching it, the group left the City southbound, toward Altdorf. [20:23] <@BradGM>. Resting for the night in a Coaching Inn, Father Otto erupts in screams in the middle of the night, being assaulted in his sleep by the evil in the Darkwald. Come next morning, after breakfast, you return on the road, still going South.** [20:24] * +Ulrich "i dont think that bed was as clean as they said, i got some serious itchies down below if ya know what i mean.." [20:25] <+Ulrich> ((yup i openned the game ith that)) [20:26] * +Siluvaine eyes the good Father. "Can you tell how far away we are now?" [20:26] <@BradGM> ((yup)) [20:26] <+Ulrich> ((thats how i !Dhroll) [20:26] <@BradGM> Father Otto "I can only know we are going in the right direction for now." [20:27] <@BradGM> **Father Otto seems tired, having little rest after his episode.** [20:27] <+Ulrich> ( we have a pack pony right?) [20:27] <+Ulrich> (for him?) [20:27] <@BradGM> ((No, he's got a slingbag, sword, walking stick and shield.)) [20:28] * +Ulrich "maybe the good father can use the horse for a while, he looks like hell" [20:29] <+Alexi> "Dot vould be hokay mit me. Hy kin valk fer now." [20:30] * +Ulrich "your compation knows no bounds sir" [20:30] <@BradGM> Father Otto "Oh, I would not impose myself, it will not please Ulric to horse ride to a danger." [20:30] * +Siluvaine remains on her horse because. [20:31] <+Alexi> "Ho no, hyu vould not ride to danger. Hyu vould stay back und Hy vould run in." [20:33] <@BradGM> Otto "It is unlike a follower of Ulric to wait while others fight." [20:33] <@BradGM> **You stop to get around midday.** [20:33] * +Siluvaine looks around, seeing if there's anything interesting about. [20:34] <@BradGM> ((like foodstuff and such?)) [20:35] * +Aithorn is just glad to be back in the forest. [20:35] <@BradGM> ((that would be survival)) [20:35] <+Ulrich> (more like leave flapping in the wind) [20:35] <+Ulrich> (leaves) [20:37] <+Siluvaine> ((well, anyplace to make camp for lunch, food, etc) [20:37] * +Siluvaine slips off her horse and stretches. [20:37] <@BradGM> **Everything seems calm if only the time is a little darker, surprisingly, the Ancient trees of the Darkwald gives a constant cover over your ehad.** [20:38] * +Ulrich " so Mista Kernbak was in love with 1 cow and married to another" [20:38] <+Ulrich> "one day I asked him why he loved his cow so much" [20:39] <+Ulrich> "he told me it at least she provided milk for the family and didn't try to kill him with a knife every night" [20:40] <+Ulrich> "he corrected me and told me "he didn't marry a cow, he married a pig" [20:40] <@BradGM> **Otto laughs "I have not heard that one in a while!" [20:41] * +Siluvaine shakes her head. "If I didn't need to buy supplies for class..." [20:42] * +Ulrich looks dumbfounded "i wasn't joking, really, he did love his cow, and his wife was a hateful pig of a woman" [20:42] * +Aithorn "We didn't bring him for our minstrel, we don't need to tip him Siluvaine" [20:42] <@BradGM> ((hah)) [20:42] <+Ulrich> (hehe) [20:43] * +Ulrich at least HE has a sense of humor, you fellows put a new term to the word "grim" [20:44] <@BradGM> **You go on..** [20:44] * +Siluvaine returns to her horse once the movement starts. She stole this from a chaos raider fair and square! [20:45] <@BradGM> **Two hours later, Otto suddenly stops and falls on the road.** [20:45] <+Ulrich> "I TOLD YOU GUYS!!" [20:45] * +Aithorn "This forest is old, it might still remember a time before the Empire. We might even find a few dryads. If we're lucky, we'll only have to outrun them." [20:45] * +Ulrich runs over to help the priest [20:46] * +Aithorn helps the priest gather up his things. [20:46] * +Siluvaine stands up in her stirrups and looks around for any sign of attackers. [20:46] <@BradGM> Otto "He has his head in his hand, like he's trying to hide some bright light hitting his eyes. "Aaah!" [20:47] <+Ulrich> "damn you lot, he isn't exactly a spring chicken anymore, and he is blind if ya haven't noticed" [20:47] * +Ulrich "would a healing drought help sir?" [20:48] * +Siluvaine frowns as she hears the priest. "Another fit rather than an attack." She slides off her horse and moves over, listening to what the Priest says. [20:48] <@BradGM> Otto "Oh..no, no, I'm all right now..I suddenly got blinded by a vision; we need to go this direction" *He points into the woods; While for everyone it seems to be a somewhat wide opening into the forest, Aithron can see the way Otto is pointing was once a used orad, perhaps 150, 200 years ago, which is now retaken by the Darkwald.** [20:50] * +Siluvaine grimaces as she looks at the overgrown forest. [20:50] <@BradGM> **You can walk and use your horses, i,s just into the woods.** [20:51] <+Aithorn> ((what's an orad?)) [20:51] <@BradGM> ((it's a road in the ancient tongue of typo)) [20:51] <+Siluvaine> ((French for road :) )) [20:52] <@BradGM> ((funny)) [20:52] <+Siluvaine> ((Well, Braddoc French)) [20:52] * +Ulrich will stick by the priest from now on just in case he has any more problems, and in no small part because of the rest or the groups seeming apathy to his health and well being [20:52] <@BradGM> ((Braddoc good, Mael baaad)) [20:52] * +Siluvaine motions for Aithorn to take the lead. "I think you'd best take the lead?" [20:52] <@BradGM> ((yeah, Otto's attack is also to keep Ulrich 'busy' so to speak)) [20:52] <+Ulrich> (works well enough for me) [20:53] <@BradGM> ((well, I figured it's more than just suddenly poping into the GM bubble)) [20:53] <@BradGM> ((or going to get firewood for a few hours in the night)) [20:53] <@BradGM> ((alone, in the Darkwald)) [20:54] * +Aithorn "There was an orad here many decades ago, it should help speed our passage a bit..." ((Aithorn will walk ahead of the group a bit with his bow out)) [20:54] <+Ulrich> (i'll protect the priest, thats my thing, helping the poor and maimed and all) [20:54] <@BradGM> ((nice touch aithron)) [20:54] <@BradGM> ((Such a noble soul Ulrich)) [20:55] * +Siluvaine gets back on her horse, leading it off the road and into the forest, following Aithorn. "I wonder if anyone else might be looking for this." [20:55] <+Ulrich> "a what?" [20:55] <@BradGM> ((geez, turn the knife why don't ya..)) [20:55] <+Ulrich> (lol) [20:55] * +Alexi follows along. "Vell, if dey are den mebbe ve heff to fight. Or mebbe not." [20:55] * +Aithorn "An orad? It's an old elvish word for an abandoned forest path." [20:56] <+Aithorn> ((sorry)) [20:56] <@BradGM> ((no, I can take it, 'lest you run with it)) [20:56] <+Ulrich> "people speak imperial, i can't tell what you lot are saying between yer accents, dwarvish and the elf talk" [20:57] <@BradGM> ((*least)) [20:57] <+Ulrich> (lol) [20:58] <@Edgerrin> (sprecken die deutche mein ulrich?)) [20:59] <@BradGM> **The road is vegetation filled, a tree here or there in the way, but you can navigate it without too much trouble. The forest is alive, but there is no sign, or sound, of danger yet.** [20:59] * +Aithorn "If it has been calling out, the Father has heard it's voice, others might be listening. But blood calls to blood, whether anything else comes, I do not think it will be alone." [20:59] * +Siluvaine keeps looking around, her hand on her staff. She sighs. "Yeah. Probably." [20:59] <+Alexi> "Den ve fight to keep it from causing trubble, yah?" [21:00] <+Aithorn> "It will cause trouble, I fear we will fight only to keep the trouble from spreading beyond us." [21:00] <@BradGM> **The sun is setting, as you enter a large, ancient clearing with skeletons of stone building in the middle of the opened area; no doubt an ancient village, abandonned long ago for reasons unkoown.** [21:01] * @Edgerrin looks for anything with a roof [21:01] <@BradGM> !dhroll 60 [21:01]  BradGM: 37 Success by 2 degrees! [21:02] <+Ulrich> "this place gives me the kreeps" [21:02] * +Siluvaine slips off her horse and wipes it down, letting it rest. "Atleast its just abandoned and not something worse." [21:02] <+Ulrich> "define worse" [21:02] <@BradGM> **You can find a building, perhaps the tavern or the largest house in town, with still a good chuck of it's roof who had shingles.** [21:03] <+Ulrich> 'that was retorical" [21:03] <+Aithorn> "Go carefully, others may have found shelter before us." [21:03] <+Alexi> "Yah, yah..." [21:03] * @Edgerrin naturally heads for the tavern to check it out [21:03] <+Ulrich> (ok guys im off, GM take care of my rather large blonde, blue eyed baby) [21:03] * +Alexi has his axe unlimbered as he moves in [21:04] <@BradGM> **If/When you reach the middle of the old village, Father Otto will point toward West-South-West. "We must to this direction now." [21:04] <@Edgerrin> (night Ul)) [21:04] <@BradGM> ((heh, Not a problem have a good shift [21:04] <@BradGM> )) [21:04] <+Ulrich> ((i'll try to come back if i can but it will be in about 2 hours)) [21:05] <@BradGM> ((enough time to kill your char)) [21:05] * +Ulrich (MordentHex@de269-86.members.linode.com) Quit (Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- The professional IRC Client :D) [21:05] <@BradGM> ((bwahahaha)) [21:05] <@BradGM> ((yes, perfect timing, it's the last thing he saw!)) [21:05] * +Siluvaine looks to the West, South West, looking to see if there's any sign of a road or clearing. [21:06] <@BradGM> **Roll perception -10 siluvaine, you city-elf** [21:06] <+Aithorn> "Do you sense any urgency, Father? The Drakwald can be even more dangerous at night. I'd like to arrive at our destination with both arms attached." [21:07] <@BradGM> Otto "No, is it still seeing, but it is not as agressive as last night, or even the last week in Middenheim." [21:07] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 50 [21:07]  Siluvaine: 49 Success by 0 degrees! [21:08] <@BradGM> Otto "I would recommend putting some sound traps round, jsut in case." [21:08] * @Edgerrin checks out the inside of the old building [21:08] <@BradGM> **Siluvaine, you think it's just the wood, there's no indication or ressemblance or any road.** [21:09] * +Siluvaine returns to the group. "I think the trip tomorrow is going to be harder." [21:10] <+Alexi> "Vell uf cause. Dis has been easy-peasy so far." [21:11] <@BradGM> **Edgerrin, the building got 5 rooms, 3 are covered by the roof, one of them you can think was a kitchen due to the presence of obth a hearth and the skeleton of a counter (the wooden top is gone, but the stone frame is still there)** [21:12] <@BradGM> **The floor is pretty much the direct floor, but nothing you ever did.** [21:12] <@BradGM> ((direct earthground I mean)) [21:13] * @Edgerrin will head back out and start gathering dead wood for a fire. [21:13] * +Siluvaine sets her stuff up in one of the covered rooms and gets out the food and the pot. [21:13] <@Edgerrin> "I assume we be stopping ere tanite." he says to the group as he passes looking for wood. [21:15] * @Edgerrin will gather the wood then bring it back and start making a fire in the hearth. He'll clean it out first if need be. [21:15] <+Siluvaine> "Unless we want to fight out way through the forest in the dark." [21:15] <+Siluvaine> (brb) [21:15] <@BradGM> ((C,moon, most of you got darkvision!)) [21:15] <+Alexi> "Hy dun tink dot be a goot idear." [21:16] <+Aithorn> ((it's not about being able to see what's trying to eat our brains)) [21:16] <+Aithorn> ((it's about making them eat the dwarf first ;)) [21:17] <@Edgerrin> ((They'd eat you first. Elves be sweeter tasting. Dwarves be tough)) [21:17] <@Edgerrin> ((and chewy)) [21:17] <@BradGM> ((WEll, you got some old leather steak and some tender loin..))

[21:20] <+Siluvaine> ((back)) [21:20] <@BradGM> **DEspite having no chimney sweep experience, a few stabbing of the bigger chunks seems to do the trick, and you didn't get too much of it on your pants too.** [21:21] <@BradGM> ((I have no idea what's the English word for the black thing in the chimney)) [21:21] <+Alexi> (soot) [21:21] * @Edgerrin smacks his hands together to knock off some sut after being pleased with his job well done. [21:21] <@BradGM> ((soot, yes, thanks)) [21:22] * +Siluvaine sets up some of the rations, getting it ready for once the fire is made. [21:23] * @Edgerrin then starts to arrange wood, takes out his tinderbox and lights the fire [21:23] <@BradGM> **It takes but a few seconds to get the fire going.** [21:24] <@Edgerrin> "All yers lady elf" [21:24] * +Aithorn is going to get as close to the edge of the light as possible while staying in the room [21:24] * +Siluvaine puts the pot over the fir eand shrugs.

He'll bring piles into the house and place them at the entrances on the floor so any univited vistors if they manage to miss the trip wires will make crunching sounds as they enter. [21:29] * +Siluvaine will take first watch. [21:29] * +Aithorn will go after Siluvaine [21:30] * @Edgerrin is fine taking thrid watch [21:30] * +Alexi will watch till he falls asleep :D [21:31] * @Edgerrin unrolls his bedroll in the kitchen [21:31] <@BradGM> **Otto sleeps.** [21:32] <@Edgerrin> ((we prop Ulrich in front of a door)) [21:32] <@Edgerrin> 3LIBRARY DATA: 4LAZ RULE: 1 If a player fails to show or has to a leave a game early, the said players character my be used as a shield by the remaining player characters.

The fact you used the heart to hide the flame and yourself. Edgerrin, you hear some movement during the early hours of the morning, but were they just animals or more sinister beasts...you saw nothing in the open when the others began waking up.** [21:37] * @Edgerrin will take Aithorn aside after everyone is awake and inform him of the noises. 1" Do ya think ya ciuls scout around and see if there be any tracks.
