(3) Lin Chien: It's amazing what the mage will do... lol
(3) Lin Chien: Hey Dave
(2) Uester: Hi Rog, hot combat?
(3) Lin Chien: You could say that :)
(1) Dragonpearl: we are getting our asses kicked
(3) Lin Chien: And by relatively simple spells, I might add :)
(2) Uester: The mind boggles. Well mine does anyway.
(1) Dragonpearl: lemme gather my notes.
(3) Lin Chien: Hey, don't kill Lin Chien in retribution.... :)
(5) Gwalchmai (enter)

(2) Uester: Hi gwal.
(3) Lin Chien: Hey
(7) Myst (enter)
(3) Lin Chien: Hey Myst
(1) Dragonpearl: Alright, I suggest you guys resting and gathering spells back before trying to find the pyramid
(7) Myst: hiya all!
(2) Uester: Hi hi.
(5) Gwalchmai: Hi
(7) Myst: everyone miss me?
(2) Uester: Of course we did.
(3) Lin Chien: Sure
(3) Lin Chien: Resting and gthering spells sounds good
(2) Uester: I'm for that. I don't remember how many I had at the end of last session anyway.
(7) Myst: we don't gather spells, we memorize them!
(5) Gwalchmai (whispering): ( want me to roll for new hit points )
whispering to 5 yeah
(5) Gwalchmai: [1d6] -> [3] = (3)
(1) Dragonpearl: Anyone who leveled, roll your hp now
(2) Uester: Gwal, you've got that gem of seeing haven't you?
(5) Gwalchmai (whispering): hp now 17
(5) Gwalchmai: yeah
(2) Uester: Do we think the pyramid is invisible? Or is that just me? (he said, quite aware it was probably just him)
(7) Selini: I won't level for a bit... expessially if I make sessions, I make really good exp when I don't show up ;p
(7) Selini: Selini thinks her kitten is cute
(3) Lin Chien: Oh, I'm sorry... we got hungry and ate the cat
(1) Dragonpearl: okay, speaking of hungry, I need breakfast.
** (5) Gwalchmai tests out Uester theory and looks out the archway with the gem **
(7) Selini: Roll new characters then
(2) Uester: Now, now. It's not like we ate all of it.... we saved you some.
(1) Dragonpearl: you guys plan your stratumgee and I'll be right back
(1) Dragonpearl: Gwal sees nothing out of the ordinary
(2) Uester: That could be a trick -- if you're looking for a pyramid, it would be ordinary.
(2) Uester: There's probably gonna be a mummy in this pyramid, isn't there.
(1) Dragonpearl: back
(2) Uester: Do we have any plans for beating mummies?
(7) Selini: what?
(7) Selini: a plan for beating a mummy that isn't there?
(5) Gwalchmai: yeah leave it to you to fight
(1) Dragonpearl: lemme rephrase that, he sees no pryamid
(3) Lin Chien: Bad boy.... your mummy should be respected
(7) Selini: Ummm.... I can sing it a song... do mummies like songs?
(2) Uester: Well, if we encounter a mummy, I hope you're not relying on Uester to roll the natural 20 required to turn it -- that's all.
(3) Lin Chien: Well, does anyone speak Mulhorundi? We could do what imhotep did when meeting the Scorpion King
(2) Uester: He died, didn't he?
(5) Gwalchmai: dp, is there actualy anything behind the temple but flat sand?
(1) Dragonpearl: nope
(7) Selini: OOh! I can set it on fire!
(3) Lin Chien: Details, details....
(2) Uester: lol
(7) Selini: and round sand? ;p
(1) Dragonpearl: flat sand as opposed to sand dunes
(5) Gwalchmai: so,who do set priests get to the pyramid
(5) Gwalchmai: rather how do set priests get to the ppyramid
(7) Selini: Ummm... maybe the pyramid is under the temple?
(2) Uester: "I had always thought of pyramids as large things, quite difficult to hide."
(1) Dragonpearl: ((ok, we ready?))
(3) Lin Chien: ((Are we starting yet, or just clowning around? Hard to tell sometimes))
(5) Gwalchmai: (ready)
(2) Uester: ((I just elected to start ;) ))
(1) Dragonpearl: Gawl uses the gem but finds no evidence of magic behind the temple
(7) Selini: "Yea... but we're dealing with a god here... and from what Uester has been saying, Gods are typically fairly powerful... like... lots more powerful than ale..."
** (5) Gwalchmai looks at the cobra statue with the gem **
** (3) Lin Chien shrugs eloquently **
(1) Dragonpearl: ((that's going in the quote book))
(7) Selini: (;p)
(1) Dragonpearl: Gwal, you just have the gems. the statue was too bi
(2) Uester: "You suspect the cobra is the key, Gwalchmai?"
** (2) Uester examines it. **
(7) Selini: "What are pyramids used for?"
(2) Uester: ((Too bi, is that possible?))
(1) Dragonpearl: (big)
(3) Lin Chien: "Lin Chien is ignorant, but he hears that these things were actually tombs."
(1) Dragonpearl: (been up since 11am gaming, lemme lone)
** (5) Gwalchmai goes to the room with the cobra statue(last room we we're in) and looks at it through the gem **
(1) Dragonpearl: Its a statue
** (2) Uester examines the burning incense on the floor. **
(5) Gwalchmai: "I suspect everything, uester"
(7) Selini: "Tombs huh... well aren't crypts tombs?"
(2) Uester: "The Shou is correct -- pyramids were the tombs of great lords of their race."
(3) Lin Chien: ((Did we bring that map along with us?))
(1) Dragonpearl: The insence gives off a faint cinnamon scent and is quite warm. You would think it would have all burned away by now
(7) Selini: "The pyramids should be under the temple then! dead are always buried underground!"
(3) Lin Chien: ((Medieval air freshener))
(3) Lin Chien: "Er..."
(2) Uester: "Gwal, please examine this incense with your magical eye."
** (3) Lin Chien struggles with that logic for a bit **
** (5) Gwalchmai talks to himself "If i we're a priest of set, what would i do, hmmm" Gwal goes and kneels i front of the statue and prays **
** (5) Gwalchmai passes the gem over to Uester to use **
(1) Dragonpearl: Nothing happens
(2) Uester: "Do not be so keen to attract the attentions of the god of death in his high temple."
** (2) Uester uses the gem on the burning stuff. **
(5) Gwalchmai: "How about lighting the incense"
** (3) Lin Chien scratches the tip of his mustache **
(3) Lin Chien: "Perhaps gem taken from cobra, fits somewhere else?"
(7) Selini: "Isn't the incence already burning?
** (5) Gwalchmai passes a gem over to lin "try it" **
(2) Uester: (you know, Uester looks through the gem to see if the incense is magical))
(1) Dragonpearl: There is slight magic on them, alteration magic
** (3) Lin Chien examines the gem quizzically **
(1) Dragonpearl: ((I know, sheesh, I had to grab a book. LOL))
(2) Uester: "This incense is magical," Uester declares.
(1) Dragonpearl: Its a gem.
** (2) Uester tries to extinguish it. **
** (5) Gwalchmai ponders the cobra statue, looking for a place to fit a star ruby **
(1) Dragonpearl: (with what?)
(7) Selini: "It is? Oh! Can I have some? I love magical stuff!"
** (7) Selini scratches her kitty benieth its neck **
(2) Uester: (we're in a desert -- is there no sand nearby?)
(1) Dragonpearl: Which statue are you pondering? the one in the circular room or this one?
** (3) Lin Chien looks up at the cobra statue as well **
(1) Dragonpearl: Uester pust sand on the burning insence but it does not go out
(5) Gwalchmai: (oh, and gwal picks up all his lighted stones)
(5) Gwalchmai: (this room , not the round one)
(1) Dragonpearl: The cobra statue in this room looks like something could be places in it's mouth
(1) Dragonpearl: (placed)
(7) Selini: "Hey... you know where a big triangle might be around here mister fuzzball?"
** (3) Lin Chien looks at Gwalchmai. "Hmmm. Perhaps...?" **
** (5) Gwalchmai nods, and tries to place a ruby in its mouth **
(1) Dragonpearl: The ruby is too small to fit.
** (2) Uester ponders the burning stuff. "I had suspected this to have been lit recently, but now I see it resists extinguishment it might well be as old as the temple itself." **
** (5) Gwalchmai gauges the size of the mouth, and starts looking for objects the right size **
** (7) Selini walks over to the incense and puts her hand near it, seeing if it puts off heat **
(1) Dragonpearl: Any that you do find and try to use have no effect
** (3) Lin Chien nods sagely, as if he does not understand what uester is saying, and is merely pretending to understand **
(1) Dragonpearl: The insence does put off heat.
(2) Uester: "How about one of those light stones you are so keen on?"
** (7) Selini wanders around the room, looking for carvings in the wall, expessially scorpions or snakes with tails pointing in a direction **
(3) Lin Chien: "Perhaps we have missed something
(5) Gwalchmai: "Yes i think we have Lin"
** (2) Uester puts his fist into the snake's mouth. **
(3) Lin Chien: ((Did we find anything on the zombies besides zombie gore?))
(1) Dragonpearl: Selini looks at some of the murals and sees an image of a man putting an amulet in the sankes mouth
(2) Uester: ((nothing))
(1) Dragonpearl: ((just zombie gore))
(7) Selini: "Uh... peoples?"
** (2) Uester withdraws his fist. **
(7) Selini: "Do any of us have an amulet?"
** (5) Gwalchmai shakes his head **
(1) Dragonpearl: The man looks like he might be a high preist of some sort
(3) Lin Chien: "Yes, cat is very cute..." He says absently to Selini's words
(7) Selini: "Cause the wall says we need to put an amulet in the snake's mouth..."
(2) Uester: "And furry," agrees Uester.
** (3) Lin Chien looks at the image closely. "Maybe amulet already in snake's mouth?" **
(1) Dragonpearl: Lin looks at the Snake and sees no amulet
** (7) Selini sighs deeply and wonders why she puits up with these intellectual ameoba, and then continues to search the walls for any referances to high priests or amulets, even venturing out of the room should nothing turn up **
(2) Uester: "We have searched every room in this place and seen no amulet."
(5) Gwalchmai: "Would the amulet be magical ?"
(3) Lin Chien: ((Intellectual amoeba.... that's pretty cute!))
(1) Dragonpearl: She enterst he room that leads out the back of the Temple and sees a pyramid on the wall. The pyramid appears to be behind the temple.
(2) Uester: "That would be likely."
(1) Dragonpearl: But when looking out the back, only sand is seen
** (5) Gwalchmai casts detect magic, and concentrates on finding the amulet, walking around the temple **
** (3) Lin Chien looks around the walls, examining them for clues as to what they should do **
(1) Dragonpearl: Gwal arrives in the main room of the temple, the first room and sees that the entire wall behind the statue is magical.
** (2) Uester looks through the gem, searching the temple for anything suspicious. **
** (7) Selini walks over to the sand behind the temple and starts poking it, seeing if it feels like true sand or if it might be somehow falsified **
** (5) Gwalchmai shouts to the others **
(1) Dragonpearl: ((wrong map))
** (3) Lin Chien rushes over, plucking his great scimitar from his sheath **
whispering to 7 as you walk out, you trip on something
** (5) Gwalchmai waits for the others to arrive "False wall", pointing to the illusional wall **
** (2) Uester , hearing Gwal shout, rushes into the first room of the temple, his (JINXED) mace at the ready. He looks at the wall Gwal is pointing to. **
(7) Selini (whispering): *looks behind her and digs in the sand where whatever she tripped on*
** (5) Gwalchmai walks through the wall **
** (2) Uester pokes the wall tentatively. **
** (3) Lin Chien shakes his head. "Lin Chien thought his friend in trouble. Nice wall. Why see it again?" **
whispering to 7 digging reveals a large stone block and several others in a row. As if youa re on a platform
(1) Dragonpearl: Gwal walks intot he wall and bruises his nose.
** (5) Gwalchmai rubs his nose, frowning **
(1) Dragonpearl: Any attempts to open it proove inneffectual
** (2) Uester looks at Gwal. "Oh yes, I see. Definitely an illusion" **
(3) Lin Chien: ((What's the statue of? Set? Anything unusual on it after a close-up?))
** (5) Gwalchmai looks at the wall with the gem **
(7) Selini (whispering): I continue poking around, trying to find an edge to this 'platform'
(7) Selini: (BRB All, gots ta reboot)
** (2) Uester gives the gem back to gwal, pre-empting his action. **
(1) Dragonpearl: The wall is definately magical
(2) Uester: "Open Sesame!"
** (5) Gwalchmai remembers selinis discovery, and examines the walls **
(2) Uester: When the wall does not respond, Uester shrugs. "Well, I'm out of ideas."
** (3) Lin Chien examines the altar for any clues as to the opening of the wall **
(7) Selini (exit)
(2) Uester: ((Could we knock the wall down or is made of serious blocks of stone?))
(1) Dragonpearl: You couldnt knock it down.
(1) Dragonpearl: Teh altar reveals none
(3) Lin Chien: ((Let's sacrifice the kitten))
(5) Gwalchmai: ( and there's nothing on the walls to tell us what to do?)
(1) Dragonpearl: (nope, not here)
(5) Gwalchmai: ( how about we rename the kitten amulet, and put it in the statues mouth)
** (3) Lin Chien nods thoughtfully to himself **
(13) Uester (enter)
(12) Myst (enter)
** (5) Gwalchmai starts looking around the walls and altar for more diagrams/clues **
(13) Uester: ((could we knock down the wall?))
** (3) Lin Chien starts to take a slow, methodical walk through the temple, going in a clockwise direction, eamining any murals he passes **
whispering to 12 this platform you are on seems rather large, lake maybe it is the base of the pryamid
(2) Uester (exit)
(1) Dragonpearl: All of the murals depict varous scenes of temple life. Prayer, building of the pyramid behind the temple, things of that sort. the only one showing anything about the amulet and the snake are in the room where you found ti. Nothing talks about the wall
(1) Dragonpearl: ((no uester, the stone is too think))
** (3) Lin Chien stops at the herb room and takes a careful look around **
(1) Dragonpearl: This room actually has no murals
whispering to 12 you get that last message?
(3) Lin Chien: ((Hmmm, is there anything on the statue of Set that could be handled?))
(1) Dragonpearl: (no)
** (5) Gwalchmai tries moving the statue in the first room **
** (13) Uester attempts to find a switch, by lying on the altar, pulling on the light fittings and the fangs of the statue and so forth. Anything pullable, he pulls. Anything pushable he pushes. **
(12) Selini (whispering): ((the platform one? yea... OOPS! I whispered the responce to myself!))
(12) Selini (whispering): *hmphs slightly and begins to walk away, back into the temple to find all of her friends have mysterously vanished*
(1) Dragonpearl: All of uesters attmpts fail. and the statue is immovable
** (3) Lin Chien ponders **
** (5) Gwalchmai ponders **
** (12) Selini thinks **
(13) Uester: "The bronze swords? How about them?"
** (13) Uester muses. **
** (5) Gwalchmai contemplates **
** (13) Uester cogitates. **
** (12) Selini defenistrates **
whispering to 12 you gonna go find them?
** (3) Lin Chien kills everyone and takes the loot **
(12) Selini: (boo ya! never mess with an english major!)
(12) Selini (whispering): (no! something came and ate them! I'm afraid! I'm going to cuddle my kitty and be scared ;p)
** (13) Uester ruminates. **
(1) Dragonpearl: (moo)
(12) Selini: (go Uester! digesting like a pro! ;p)
(1) Dragonpearl: (so....now what?)
** (13) Uester hits the wall with one of the bronze swords the mosters had. **
(5) Gwalchmai: ( we wait till you take pity on us, or get bores out of your mind )
whispering to 3 BTW as you passed K9 you saw selini out back digging in the sand.
(1) Dragonpearl: The sword vibrates violently in uester's hand and bends
** (13) Uester takes out the parchment which led them here and holds it up to the wall. **
(12) Selini (whispering): having nothing better to do, I start digging at the edge of the platform and try to dig down the edge to see if I can find an enterance to the temple ;p
** (3) Lin Chien wanders out to Selini and watches as she digs. **
** (13) Uester places the parchment on the altar. **
(3) Lin Chien: "You look for something?" He inquires genially
whispering to 12 You dig down about 2 feet and you find that the block seems alot um taller than that.
** (13) Uester puts the parchment away and attempts to topple the altar. **
(12) Selini: "I'm trying to get into the pyramid!"
(1) Dragonpearl: Uester has no luck
** (5) Gwalchmai tries kneeling in front of the alter and praying **
(12) Selini: "What are you doing?"
** (13) Uester fetches one of the zombies from up stairs and wtries to walk through the wall holding the zombie in front of him. **
(1) Dragonpearl: Lin can see that she is trying to dig up a large block and there seems to be a platform of some sort. she has dug enough away to show that.
(1) Dragonpearl: A huge platform, Base of Pyramid sized
** (3) Lin Chien tilts his head to one side curiously, then brushes away as much of the sand as he can **
(1) Dragonpearl: (where lin?)
(13) Uester: ((Good lord. It's not burried!, it's run away!))
(1) Dragonpearl: (near the edge or further in?)
(3) Lin Chien: ((Did I see a broom in the herb room?))
(1) Dragonpearl: (no)
(12) Selini: "Do you have a shovel? And anything that can keep the sand out from between my toes?"
(1) Dragonpearl: (it was empty)
** (3) Lin Chien shakes his head regretfully **
(13) Uester: ((Will a casting of the spell Dust Devil clear away the sand DP?))
whispering to 12 you find what seems to be the top of a doorway
(5) Gwalchmai: ( he pyramid was built, then transported somewhere else, or somewhen else)
(3) Lin Chien: ((Not a single broom or spade in the entire temple?))
(1) Dragonpearl: ((good question))
** (3) Lin Chien clears as much sand as he can from the center of the platform **
** (13) Uester puts the corpse back up in the room and goes to the back of the temple, defeated by the wall. **
(3) Lin Chien: ((I bet DP is laughing her ass off at us...))
(1) Dragonpearl: (yes it would work Uester)
(13) Uester: "Stand back," Uester Ccommands. "YTempus shall open the way for us!"
** (12) Selini continues digging, growing increasingly frustrated as the sand filters back down into her hole as she throws it out **
(13) Uester: ((Casts dust devil when Slini and Lin are backed away))
** (12) Selini looks at Uester oddly, wondering both when he got here, and how he knew what they were doing without asking **
** (3) Lin Chien stands back as Uester Ccommanded and waits for YTempus to work his will :) **
(13) Uester: ((You're digging, we know where the temple should be, what's to guess?))
(12) Selini: ((Uester's acting very bossy for a guy that just got his ass kicked by an inanimate object...))
** (5) Gwalchmai wonders what the others are doing , and goes looking for them **
(1) Dragonpearl: Gwal finds them behind the temple, playing in the sand
(13) Uester: ((Uester Cconsiders asking YLin to step back into the area of effect))
** (12) Selini sighs and backs away, sticking her tongue out at Uester as she passes **
** (5) Gwalchmai starts trying to build sand castles **
** (13) Uester spreads his arms wide and beseaches Tempus to clear the sand from the pyramid. **
(12) Selini: (I got it! build a sand temple!)
(1) Dragonpearl: The dust Devil forms and is centered on the spot where Selini was digging. it satys there growing cloudier and cloudier as it picks up sand. fter it bit, it moves off and a doorway can be seen
(3) Lin Chien: "Very nice" He comments
(3) Lin Chien: "Much labour saved."
** (12) Selini blinks "Well that was rather anticlimantic..." **
** (5) Gwalchmai applauds **
(13) Uester: "Would you prefer to be left to play in the sand wizardess?"
(1) Dragonpearl: (okay, I want a dungeon marching order.)
(12) Selini: "I would have prefered that be done from the start instead of leaving me out here to dig for half and hour while you played in the temple..."
(3) Lin Chien: ((Y-formation?))
(12) Selini: "And if your going to be so smug, I suggest you find the pyramid next time if your going to discount my efforts"
(13) Uester: "Perhaps you presume me to be omnipresent? Had I known you had discovered the temple I would have resolved the problem quickly, as I always do."
(13) Uester: ((by temple I mean pyramid))
(12) Selini: ((sure... ;p))
(13) Uester: ((Y is fine, if the corridors allow))
(3) Lin Chien: ((Not feeling the brightest spark in the pack today.... major headache. So don't expect anything more than the usual playing dumb))
(1) Dragonpearl: ((okay, so who is where?)
(1) Dragonpearl: ((you and me both brother and no asprin in the house))
(12) Selini: (I'm going in after somewhere else, I'm a wimp ;p)
(13) Uester: Lin front left, Uester frot right, selini center, Gwal at the rear.
(1) Dragonpearl: (alright, and who checks for traps?)
(3) Lin Chien: ((Fine, I stay at the back. I have missile weapons))
(13) Uester: Gwal in for Lin.
(5) Gwalchmai: (guess i'm at the front then)
(1) Dragonpearl: (got it. Now do you enter?)
(12) Selini: (no groping me Lin!)
(13) Uester: ((No, let's go home))
(5) Gwalchmai: (can we rest first)
(1) Dragonpearl: (you have, you are at full hp and have all spells)
(12) Selini: (silly Gwallie ;p)
(3) Lin Chien: ((Very funny...))
(13) Uester: ((Gwal cast detect magic))
(1) Dragonpearl: (alright so he is one down)
(5) Gwalchmai: ;p
** (3) Lin Chien unsheathes his great scimitar and holds it out warily at the ready **
(5) Gwalchmai: (ok we go in)
(13) Uester: ((Can we rest then? Everybody round here is dead -- we're not really in a hurry))
(1) Dragonpearl: (fine with me)
(1) Dragonpearl: Everyone rests, gets more spells back and enters the doorway.
(13) Uester: ((And I cast dust devil as well))
(1) Dragonpearl: (yup)
(1) Dragonpearl: Entrance: The entrance to the pyramid is strange in the fact that everything seems to be inverted. The murals on the walls are upside-down, with the characters standing on the ceiling, or are you standing on the ceiling? There is an archway in the north wall which leads down a dark hallway. The room is otherwise bare.
** (12) Selini looks oddly at Lin "Ummm... is there a reason you have that out? the sand doesn't seem to be aggressive..." **
(1) Dragonpearl: (pardon my poor drawing skills. Each square is 10 feet)
(12) Selini: "I assume someone brought torches... yes?"
(1) Dragonpearl: (Gwal has cont light rocks)
(12) Selini: (Selini forgot about that ;p)
** (5) Gwalchmai passes Selini a rock **
** (12) Selini looks at the rock oddly "What is this... some type of fungus?" **
** (12) Selini holds the rock up to the- ... remembers that the rock IS the light **
** (5) Gwalchmai nods **
** (3) Lin Chien shrugs at Selini's question and decides to concentrate on doing his job - covering the rear **
(13) Uester: "To upturn a pyramid some great force must have been displeased. Gwal, will you check the way?"
** (12) Selini looks at the wallks to try and make out what they say **
** (5) Gwalchmai starts checking for traps and glyphs **
(1) Dragonpearl: (roll gwal))
(12) Selini: "Can anyone hold me upside down if it comes to that?"
(1) Dragonpearl: The murals depict the building of the pyramid
(3) Lin Chien: ((I'll help hold you upside down if it'll help))
(5) Gwalchmai: [60-1d100] -> [60,-35] = (25)
(1) Dragonpearl: Gwal finds none
(13) Uester: "I would love to dengle you by your heels. You need only ask"
(13) Uester: ((and by dengle I mean dangle))
(12) Selini: "Only if we get to a really long passage that its hard to make out from this angle... so far it looks like they're just depicting the building of the pyramid
** (13) Uester follows gwal into the temple. Nudging gwal if he isn't going yet. **
** (5) Gwalchmai moves forward grudgingly **
** (12) Selini follows the others, checking the wall for important looking glyphs... or suger **
(1) Dragonpearl: The Archway leads into a hallway that is lit only by your rocks. It seems to be 50 feet long.
(12) Selini: "Why do you say something must be displeased? I -TOLD- you the pyramid was upside down!"
(1) Dragonpearl: roll for traps Gwal
(12) Selini: "Errr, underground..."
(5) Gwalchmai: [60-1d100] -> [60,-86] = (-26)
(3) Lin Chien: "/me follows along quietly, noting every movement around that does not belong to the party, his great sword held out warily
** (12) Selini shakes her head, trying to keep straight what she thought and what she said **
(5) Gwalchmai: "Why is everything upside down?"
(1) Dragonpearl: At the 30 foot mark, both gwal and Uster hear a sound come from above their heads.
(12) Selini: "Because the pyramid is hidden, and its easier to bury a triangle nose down than nose up"
** (3) Lin Chien cringes **
(13) Uester: "Pyramids are not built upside down. Do you think artisnas stood on theri heads to paint these --" uester stops as he hears the noise and tries to jump back.
(1) Dragonpearl: Gwal and Uesterm, save vs Breath Weaopn
(12) Selini: (Lin Cringed? Lin didn't hear the sound!)
** (5) Gwalchmai dives **
(13) Uester: Saving Throws: Breath: needed 15, scored [1d20] -> [5] = (5)
(13) Uester: ((failed))
(5) Gwalchmai: [15-1d20] -> [15,-3] = (12)
(1) Dragonpearl: [2d6] -> [2,3] = (5)
(1) Dragonpearl: [2d6] -> [1,3] = (4)
(12) Selini: (only 12 off!)
(1) Dragonpearl: Uester take 5 from falling spikes, Gwal takes 4
(13) Uester: ((I have a modifer for my shield actually, but I still failed))
(1) Dragonpearl: The ceiling reveals what should be a pit trap with iron spikes at the bottom, but in this case it is a ceiling trap with falling spikes
(13) Uester: ((Or do I? No wait, I don't))
** (3) Lin Chien looks up at the commotion and sees that it is not a mortal enemy, then relaxes and goes to check on the oens in front, careful not to step where they stepped **
** (12) Selini takes an instinctive leap backwards as the spikes fall, narrowly missing Lin and, more importantly, the big sword he's carrying **
(1) Dragonpearl: No more spikes fall
** (5) Gwalchmai pulls the spike from his shoulder **
(1) Dragonpearl: Okay pause for a sec.
(12) Selini: "... see? The architects built the traps so they would work upside down!"
** (13) Uester rubs his head and issues Gwal a reporachful stare. **
(1) Dragonpearl: Uester, i want you to start binding woulds before casting spells.
** (13) Uester binds gwal and himself. **
** (5) Gwalchmai "I've got to check the ceiling as well" **
(1) Dragonpearl: so anytime one of you gets injusred, and youa re not currently involed in combat, uester can bind you for 1d4+3 points due to healing and herbalism
(1) Dragonpearl: so roll
** (3) Lin Chien ensures that they are all fine. "Maybe we move on, out of trap area, then priest make magic?" **
(13) Uester: [1d4+3] -> [2,3] = (5)
(13) Uester: [1d4+3] -> [1,3] = (4)
(1) Dragonpearl: and you both are fine
(1) Dragonpearl: (continue)
(1) Dragonpearl: (you guys will last alot longer this way)
** (5) Gwalchmai continues on, looking for traps and glyphs **
** (13) Uester packs away this healers bag again and makes ready to move off again. **
(1) Dragonpearl: Offerings room: This room has several pillars spanning the length of the room at it's center. There are more murals on the walls, inverted like the previous room. On the ceiling are what seems to be baskets, ceramic jars and various other items of a mundane nature. In the center of the north wall is another archway. A quick glance reveals it to be a ramp going down 20 feet, with stairs on the ceiling.
(3) Lin Chien: "Lin Chien ave very bad feeling here" He comments
(13) Uester: ((So is this the real ceiling or the floor?))
(1) Dragonpearl: (ceiling by your perspective. above your heads)
(12) Selini: "... do most baskets not fall down?"
(13) Uester: ((Could we (we are not, but could we) reach the baskets?))
** (12) Selini walks slowly around the room, examining the murals, trying to keep out from under stuff **
(1) Dragonpearl: ((yes. the ceilings will only be about 8 feet above you))
** (5) Gwalchmai tries using his ring to move a basket **
** (3) Lin Chien wonders if the people who built this pyramid, were insane **
(1) Dragonpearl: The murals depict various scenes of people bringing in items for the dead to have in their new life.
** (13) Uester prods a basket with his mace. **
(1) Dragonpearl: Gwal grabs a basket and is able to set it on the "floor" near him.
(1) Dragonpearl: The sound of metal on stone can be hear above you amongst the items
(5) Gwalchmai: (how was it attached to the ceiling?)
(12) Selini: "Anyone have anything you want to give to a dead friend?"
(1) Dragonpearl: (magic)
** (3) Lin Chien ponders over this imagery **
** (12) Selini hops slightly at the sounds and rushes back to the others hiding behind Gwal **
whispering to 12 you see cobras ont he ceiling. but they are bronze
(12) Selini: "There are... metal... snakes up there!"
** (5) Gwalchmai hides behinf uester **
** (3) Lin Chien glances upwards more out of curiosity than fear **
** (13) Uester searches the remaining baskets cautiously. **
(1) Dragonpearl: Anyone looksing up will see bronze cobras ruching along the "ceiling" to engage you in combat
(1) Dragonpearl: Initiative
(3) Lin Chien: ((Doh!))
(13) Uester: [1d10+6] -> [4,6] = (10)
(12) Selini: [1d10+2] -> [8,2] = (10)
(1) Dragonpearl: ((you will be at a -1 to hit due to them being on the ceiling)
(5) Gwalchmai: [1d10-2] -> [8,-2] = (6)
(3) Lin Chien: [1d10+2-2] -> [2,2,-2] = (2)
(12) Selini: (CAN they hit us from up there?)
(1) Dragonpearl: ((they are about 3' long)
(1) Bronze Cobra 1: init [1d10+3] -> [5,3] = (8) Thaco [19-1d20] -> [19,-17] = (2) Damage [1d3] -> [1] = (1)

(1) Dragonpearl: Lin
** (3) Lin Chien droops his great scimitar and instead relies on the fmiliar feel of his small daggers in his hands, letting gly a volley of the tiny blades at one of the snakes **
(3) Lin Chien: Daggers at foe #1
(3) Lin Chien: Att:[15-1d20] -> [15,-18] = (-3) Dam:[1d4+3] -> [2,3] = (5)

(3) Lin Chien: Att:[15-1d20] -> [15,-9] = (6) Dam:[1d4+3] -> [4,3] = (7)
(1) Dragonpearl: Lin Dispatches one cobra and wounds the second. Gwal
** (5) Gwalchmai drops flat to the floor, so that he is out of reach of the cobras. **
(1) Dragonpearl: (that it?)
(5) Gwalchmai: (yeah)
(12) Selini: (wuss!)
(5) Gwalchmai: ;p
(1) Dragonpearl: Cobra #3 is going after Useter and misses
(1) Dragonpearl: Uester and Selini
(13) Uester: Attacks: Mace, footman's +1: Hit: [16-1d20] -> [16,-14] = (2) Damage s/m: [1d6+4] -> [6,4] = (10) Damage large: [1d6+3] -> [1,3] = (4)
** (12) Selini ducks down defensively and wimpers, but has no intention of wasting her pretty spells on what looks to be one of the easier battles they will encounter, but hopes the snakes can't attack her if she's crouched, if one comes close enough she will leap upward and stab at it before going back to cowering... **
(1) Dragonpearl: Uster misses
(12) Selini: (at least I'm TRYING to help... any of them close enough dp?)
(13) Uester: ((What? They have AC better than 2?))
(1) Dragonpearl: Cobra #2 goes after Lin and bites him for 3 points.
(1) Dragonpearl: ((yup))
(1) Dragonpearl: some sort of flakes brush off its fangs as it releases Lin
(1) Dragonpearl: Initiative
(12) Selini: (none close to me then? alright ;p)
(12) Selini: [1d10+2] -> [1,2] = (3)
(1) Dragonpearl: (nope . LOL)
(5) Gwalchmai: [1d10+5] -> [8,5] = (13)
(13) Uester: [1d10+6] -> [1,6] = (7)

(1) Dragonpearl: go selini
** (12) Selini sees Lin get hit and jumps over towards him, grabbing 'his' snake if she can reach that high and hurling it to the ground so that others can more effectively dispatch it **
(12) Selini: (what do I roll for that?)
(1) Dragonpearl: roll to grab
(1) Dragonpearl: (1d20)
(12) Selini: [1d20] -> [8] = (8)
(12) Selini: (HA! I... failed utterly ;p)
(1) Dragonpearl: It moves too quickly for her
(1) Dragonpearl: Uester and Lin
(13) Uester: Attacks: Mace, footman's +1: Hit: [16-1d20] -> [16,-2] = (14) Damage s/m: [1d6+4] -> [6,4] = (10) Damage large: [1d6+3] -> [5,3] = (8)
** (12) Selini goes sailing by Lin and lands with a scuffle a few feet beyond him **
** (3) Lin Chien stumbles back at the bite, then regains his feet, his eyes dark and inscrutable as he advances upon the metallic reptile with deadly calm. "Stay out of way, Lin Chien will skin this cat." **
(3) Lin Chien: Daggers at foe #2
(3) Lin Chien: Att:[17-1d20] -> [17,-10] = (7) Dam:[1d4+3] -> [4,3] = (7)

(1) Dragonpearl: (only two?)
(3) Lin Chien: ((Melee))
(13) Uester: ((using wrong macro?))
(3) Lin Chien: ((Next round I get 3 melee attacks))
(1) Dragonpearl: Both daggers land with a thunk in a basket
(13) Uester: ((ah))
(1) Dragonpearl: Uester is able to kock a basket off the ceiling as well
(12) Selini: (I don't think he threw them ;p)
(1) Dragonpearl: Cobra #2 is going after uester but misses

(5) Gwalchmai: (what about me )
(1) Dragonpearl: (oops, sorry gwalm, go ahead)
** (5) Gwalchmai draws his bow, and firing from the floor ,aims at a cobra [17-1d20] -> [17,-16] = (1) for [1d8] -> [6] = (6), and agian [17-1d20] -> [17,-18] = (-1) for [1d8] -> [1] = (1) **
(13) Uester: ((Gwal cowers valiantly on the floor ;) ))
** (12) Selini sees another snake put out of commission and sits up, looking about for unseen danger that the snakes may be a distraction against **
(1) Dragonpearl: The first arrow lands in a basket while the second pierces #2, killing it
(12) Selini: (oops, early, but thats her move ;p)
(1) Dragonpearl: (got it. Now gwal, I need init for round 3
(1) Bronze Cobra 3: init [1d10+3] -> [8,3] = (11) Thaco [19-1d20] -> [19,-1] = (18) Damage [1d3] -> [3] = (3)
(5) Gwalchmai: [1d10+5] -> [7,5] = (12)
(12) Selini: (Gwal thinks we're playing 3e and he doesn't roll init after round 1 ;p)
(13) Uester: ((cobra fumbles))
(1) Dragonpearl: Go Lin
(1) Dragonpearl: (yup, if it survies)
** (3) Lin Chien takes a nimble stride towards one of the snakes as it turns its back on him to go for Uester, pouncing for the kill as his daggers swoop in like a blizzard of razor-edges. **
(3) Lin Chien: Daggers at foe #2
(3) Lin Chien: Att:[17-1d20] -> [17,-5] = (12) Dam:[1d4+3] -> [2,3] = (5)

(1) Dragonpearl: And every attempt fails. Go uester
(13) Uester: Attacks: Mace, footman's +1: Hit: [16-1d20] -> [16,-16] = (0) Damage s/m: [1d6+4] -> [1,4] = (5) Damage large: [1d6+3] -> [2,3] = (5)
(3) Lin Chien: ((I think I hit once , if I get +2 to hit from behind))
(1) Dragonpearl: And uster obliterates the lat one
** (13) Uester clocks the little bleeder. **
(12) Selini: (yea, but you get a -1 for their being on the ceiling)
(12) Selini: (and a -2 for being a valley girl ;p)
(3) Lin Chien: ((Oh yeah))
(1) Dragonpearl: (lol anywho, combat is over)
** (5) Gwalchmai tries to recover his arrows **
** (12) Selini applauds **
** (13) Uester examines Lin's snake bite. **
(1) Dragonpearl: It is mainly just a puncture wound, the poinson too old to have any effect.
(12) Selini: "You guys are really good at that... you ever considered professional life?"
(3) Lin Chien: ((Am I poisoned? Because my head is feeling like it :) ))
(13) Uester: ((can I bind Lin?))
(3) Lin Chien: ((I knew we should have killed her last session.... :) ))
(1) Dragonpearl: ((yes you can bind him and no he is not poisined))
(12) Selini: (be nice!)
(13) Uester: [1d4+3] -> [3,3] = (6)
(12) Selini: (he took 3 damage... why even roll? ;p)
(1) Dragonpearl: (Rog, you want to stop?)
(13) Uester: ((It's an ego boost))
(1) Dragonpearl: (says nothing.)
(3) Lin Chien: ((I can go on longer))
(1) Dragonpearl: (alright, we can call it here then. My head is a poundin too)
(12) Selini: (LOL!)
(1) Dragonpearl: (i'll have xp and stuff up. soon)
(12) Selini: ("Wanna stop here Rog?" "No, not really" "Ok, we'll stop then")
(3) Lin Chien: ((Because of the earlier ass-kicking? :) ))
(1) Dragonpearl: ((nope, just slept worng)
(13) Uester: ((Are those snakes valuable?))
(1) Dragonpearl: ((oh, i read that as I can go no longer. LOL, NM then, lets keep going))
(1) Dragonpearl: (they are just pieces parts now. but they look to be made entirely of metal, gears, oil, etc)
(12) Selini: "What kind of messed up snakes are these?"
** (12) Selini reaches over and takes a gear, holding it up to her rock "I think I ate one of these in an iron ration once..." **
(1) Dragonpearl: (heh, Lin has teh book they are in. LOL)
** (3) Lin Chien retieves his daggers and examines the snakes. "Very clever. Perhaps gnomish?" **
(13) Uester: "Abominations is what they are."
(12) Selini: "Gnomish? No... they were definately snakes..."
(13) Uester: "Gwal, let us go on, and be more wary of the ceiling."
** (12) Selini kisses her kittens forehead and stands, pocketing the gear so she can examine it in non-mosslight **
(3) Lin Chien: "But still clever" he says admiringly as he takes a closer look at the inner workings
** (5) Gwalchmai looks up at the stairs and starts climbing up **
(1) Dragonpearl: (actually, yoau re climbing down a ramp.)
** (12) Selini follows wall down the ramp **
(12) Selini: (... gwal ;p)
** (3) Lin Chien picks up his great scimitar and walks behind Selini **
(1) Dragonpearl: Mummification room: This room has the slight smell of oils and herbs. Judging from the murals on the walls, again inverted, this room must have been a preparation room of some kind. Possibly to preserve the dead.

There are stone tables with grooves in them for the draining of bodily fluids and various jars, large one and small ones, all on the ceiling.

On the Western wall there are two archways revealing Two 10 foot long ramps going down with stairs on the ceiling.
(5) Gwalchmai: (whatever)
(3) Lin Chien: "Which first?" He asks casually
** (12) Selini peers at the walls, looking at the mummification table oddly "Wasn't there one of those in the temple?" **
** (13) Uester takes his mace to the jars, smashing them one by one. **
** (12) Selini winces **
(12) Selini: "Uester... I thought we were supposed to show respect to temples?"
** (3) Lin Chien watches mummified guts splash down on Uester as he smashes the jars **
(1) Dragonpearl: Eash jar is filled with dust
** (5) Gwalchmai rolls a stone down the left ramp, and looks at what is down there **
whispering to 5 looks liek another room, a bit larger than tis one. You cant see what is on the ceiling if anything tho
(3) Lin Chien: "Lin Chien is sure you must have a reason for doing so, but he cannot understand" He says politely
(13) Uester: "I show no respect to this dark god and his servitors. Tempus demands this place be defiled and I shall do so, or die in the attempt!"
(12) Selini: "... its already upside down... isn't that defiled enough?"
** (5) Gwalchmai waits by the left ramp **
** (13) Uester walks over to gwal, dusting himself off. **
** (12) Selini shrugs and follows, dragging Linny along **
(3) Lin Chien: "Of course" He says tactfully, hiding his smirk, and heads to the left ramp with Gwal
(13) Uester: ((Have you named that cat yet?))
(1) Dragonpearl: Burial Chamber: This chamber is pretty extravagant compared to all of the others. The inverted murals depict four women doing various womanly duties and caring for children. On the ceiling are four sarcophagai, each inlaid with gold and painted to show a woman on the lid. Set in various piles around each coffin are various mundane items, all inlaid with gold and fit for queens. There are archways in both the northern wall and western wall.
(12) Selini: ((it has several names ;p))
(12) Selini: ((Right now she's calling it either Fuzzy or Mister Fuzzball))
** (5) Gwalchmai goes and examines the two archways **
(3) Lin Chien: "Very nice. Perhaps burial for servants?"
(1) Dragonpearl: The both lead into hallways.
(12) Selini: "Do servants make this much money?"
(13) Uester: "More likley for wives."
(13) Uester: "Great kings are often burried with their wives."
** (5) Gwalchmai waits by the west archway **
(12) Selini: "Do wives make this much?"
(12) Selini: "... I need to get married!"
(3) Lin Chien: "Also possible." He nods
(13) Uester: "The wives, Selini, may not have been exactly ready to die when they were burried."
** (12) Selini blinks "Why'd they let themselves get buried then? weaklings..." **
(13) Uester: ((Come on, these tombs must have mummies in them, lets open them up))
** (12) Selini looks up at the ceiling "Think they'd mind if I took a few of the pretty necklaces or bracelets?" **
** (3) Lin Chien has already given up on making sense, and is busy taking up the rear **
(13) Uester: "Alright. Make yourselves ready. I'm going to open one of these sarcophagai.
(1) Dragonpearl: (which one?)
(3) Lin Chien: ((OK, I quit, my head is killing me. You guys have a nice game))
** (12) Selini takes that as a yes and jumps up and makes a grab for some of the necklaces or bracelets **
(13) Uester: ((we'll leave that decision for next week then :) ))
(1) Dragonpearl: (mine is too. I kinda want you to come up with a strategey before tackling this room.
(12) Selini: (my stratagy is: don't die)
(1) Dragonpearl: That and Im gonna make a couple of markers so we dont get confused as to where you all are so pick a color
(13) Uester: red
(3) Lin Chien: ((Bye guys))
(12) Selini: (VIOLET!)
(5) Gwalchmai: (if uester opening a coffin, i'm in another room)
(3) Lin Chien: ((Grey))
(5) Gwalchmai: )cya)
(12) Selini: ((Gray Lin ;p)
(5) Gwalchmai: (pink)
(1) Dragonpearl: pink?
(12) Selini: (lol!)
(1) Dragonpearl: alrgiht
(13) Uester: By the way -- if anybody knows anyone looking for a 2nd ed AD&D game on sundays at 3PM EST send them my way -- I only have 2 players so far.
(1) Dragonpearl: no problem
(13) Uester: Bye bye all.
(12) Selini: Disconnecting from server...
(12) Selini (exit)
(13) Uester: Disconnecting from server...
