(1) Dragonpearl: yeah, i have a hard enough time finding notes without having to add to them
(6) Uester: ok, I have a nearby pile of food with a high fat and carb content, I'm ready to rock. Is Lin coming?
(8) Selini: he's online
(8) Selini: shall I fetch him?
(1) Dragonpearl: he's taking a potty break.
(6) Uester: Please :)
(6) Uester: Ah, best wait then

(6) Uester: I fear and distrust change in all forms. I'm still not sure about this Internet thing.
(13) Lin Chien (enter)
(1) Dragonpearl: Oh david yer H2g2 thing is hilarious
(13) Lin Chien: Sorry, my game ran a little late
(8) Selini: bad Lin x2!
(6) Uester: Thanks, glad somebody reads me :)
(1) Dragonpearl: k, I just sent you all a text node that should explain what we just covered.
(13) Lin Chien: Well, my mephit never showed up!
(1) Dragonpearl: so we are gonna try playing with that for a while and see how it owrks.
(13) Lin Chien: ok
(1) Dragonpearl: Now that everyone is here.....YOu all have rested up and night is beginnig to fall...
(13) Lin Chien: ((Can I rest *down* instead? :) ))
(1) Dragonpearl: ((haha))
** (8) Selini has yet to emerge from the hut, having snuck in there within moments of returing **
** (13) Lin Chien stretches and limbers up **
(6) Uester: ((can you just remind me what it is we're looking for again? It's not the temple first is it? There's an intermediate stage?))
(1) Dragonpearl: You gather your things and the water and the old man, Daekon says, "make sure you can find some sort of shelter in the daytime, you'll need it. And hopefully you can come back and tell me what you found."
(13) Lin Chien: "Are we all ready to leave?"
(1) Dragonpearl: ((it's the temple. You travel for 15 days to find it. or somesuch.))
(13) Lin Chien: "It shall be done." He says graciously
(6) Uester: "Shelter may be one of our biggest problems, Daekon. Thank yu for the advice and hopefully we shall meet again soon"
(6) Uester: "I am prepared."
** (13) Lin Chien clasps his hands together in the traditional Shou sign for both greeting and farewell, and turns to depart **
** (8) Selini sits a a desk within Daekon's hut, reading a smallish book slowly, having had problems falling asleep **
(6) Uester: "Selini!" Uester balls. "Get your head out of that book. We're leaving!"
(8) Selini: (balls?)
(13) Lin Chien: ((Uester balls Selimi?))
(6) Uester: ((shouts))
** (5) Gwalchmai gathers his things , and climbs onto his pony ready to depart **
(6) Uester: ((Don't tell me that's a British word.))
(6) Uester: ((DOH! bawls!))
(6) Uester: ((Sorry, with a w, not an l))
(13) Lin Chien: ((lol))
** (13) Lin Chien hums a Shou travelling song as he rides, waiting for the others to get ready **
** (8) Selini sighs, looking up and mumbling about how hard it was to find a good romance novels in the sage's boring factual library and sets it down, shuffling outside and climbing up onto her little horsie **
** (13) Lin Chien speaks companionably to his pony as he does, feeding it an apple from his limited supply **
** (6) Uester mounts up on lightfoot, who twiches indifferently, and trots off after Lin. **
(1) Dragonpearl: The evening air is cool and quiet as you leave. Daekon hands Uester a lantern and waves as you ride off towards the desert.
(1) Dragonpearl: ((I have a couple of maps of the area you are in on the webpage.))
(13) Lin Chien: ((Checking))
(6) Uester: ((We can say this is the point Uester tells his story then, if we've got the time?))
(13) Lin Chien: ((We were comingfrom Kah, right?))
(1) Dragonpearl: ((yup))
(8) Selini: "So why are we riding in the dark again? Isn't that kind of dangerous? What if poor little buttercup steps in a hole and breaks her fool leg?"
(6) Uester: ((yes))
** (13) Lin Chien listens politely to uester's story, nodding sagely and ahhing in comprehension even though he only knows half of what Uester is talking about **
(5) Gwalchmai: ((and where are we going, on the map?))
(13) Lin Chien: ((North, I think))
(1) Dragonpearl: ((north, into the desert))
(6) Uester: "At night the desert is cool. In the day it is blistering heat. Night is better to travel," Uester explains.
(13) Lin Chien: "Ah so!" He nods again agreeably
(5) Gwalchmai: "And besides, i have pale skin, i could get sunburnt if we travel during the day"
** (13) Lin Chien smirks **
(8) Selini: "Isn't that what robes are for?"
(13) Lin Chien: "That would be such a pity, pale skin does stand out so in dark places."
(6) Uester: "Are there not those of evlen blood who call the desert their home? I have heard tales of such."
(6) Uester: ((elven))
(5) Gwalchmai: "Well not me , i'm a city boy"
(8) Selini: "Why would anyone want to live in the desert?"
(13) Lin Chien: "There are those of Kara-Tur who dwell in the deserts."
(8) Selini: "Its just sand... and... well sand..."
(8) Selini: "Seems pretty boring to me"
(6) Uester: "Really? What a surprise."
(13) Lin Chien: "They live as nomads, living of horses, living off the land."
(5) Gwalchmai: "Pretty good place, if you like building sand castles"
(8) Selini: "You need water for that though"
(13) Lin Chien: "Oh, actually, people who live in deserts, use tents." He explains, seemingly oblivious to the sacarsm
(1) Dragonpearl: At 11pm on the second day of travel, you reach the edge of the desert. You can see sand slowly overtaking the grasslands you travel on. The only one in the group with any real ability at hunting is Lin with his snares. Luckily he is able to catch a few rabbits to supply you for a few days.
(13) Lin Chien: "The Tuigan. Many great battles in history, come forth from Tuigan."
(8) Selini: "How long is it before we can get back to sleeping at night? I had alot of trouble ignoring the sun this afternoon..."
(13) Lin Chien: "Pity we have no tents."
(1) Dragonpearl: ((the meat is enough so you dont have to delve into your rations just yet.))
(6) Uester: "Ten days more, longer perhaps, before we reach the temple. Then it may be neccessary to travel this way on return."
(5) Gwalchmai: "I have a tent"
(8) Selini: "I don't think I'd want to share a tent with you Lin..."
** (8) Selini holds her kitten protectively **
(13) Lin Chien: "Well the sand is rather hot, but that is your choice." He smirks
(1) Dragonpearl: As you begin travel into the desert, you can see something tall on the horizon.
(6) Uester: "I have rope and honey leather -- but tents and rope need to be secured to something. How do wie pitch tent in a desert?"
(13) Lin Chien: "Oh excellent. Hsiao-tao sees you brought food."
(8) Selini: "Is Hsiao-tao your word for imbicile?"
(6) Uester: ((lol))
(13) Lin Chien: ((You know, that's a good question. I always wondered how tents were pitched in deserts))
(6) Uester: ((How tall?))
(1) Dragonpearl: ((whabang! LOL)
(6) Uester: ((I was kind of hoping you knew :) ))
(13) Lin Chien: "No, it means 'little knife'" He says, still seemingly oblivious to insult
(5) Gwalchmai: ((Desert sand isn't all soft))
(1) Dragonpearl: ((tall enough to see from this distance. you'll have to get closer to get a good measurement))
** (13) Lin Chien narrows his eyes as he squints off into the distance **
(8) Selini: (you have to find something sturdy to root it to, be it a rock, a cactus, or sand sturdy enough to use, they make special stakes for it)
(6) Uester: "Look, there, do you see?"
(8) Selini: "Ah... and you apply this to yourself?"
(5) Gwalchmai: "Must be pretty tall, to see it this far awa"
(13) Lin Chien: "Hsiao-tao sees, though not clearly."
(6) Uester: "Shou, you have the skill of a thief, can you approach it without being noticed?"
(8) Selini: "One would wonder why you apply this word to yourself... what part of you do you derrive the term 'little knife' from?"
(13) Lin Chien: "Me? A thief?"
** (13) Lin Chien looks appalled **
** (5) Gwalchmai grins **
** (6) Uester stifles a chuckle. **
(8) Selini: "Lin's a thief?"
(8) Selini: "I've been travelling with a criminal?!?"
** (13) Lin Chien shakes his head at Selini. "You have one track mind, my friend. Maybe you should live on diet of cat meat." **
(6) Uester: ((did I not know that? Sorry, I thought I did))
(13) Lin Chien: ((He's not a thief anyway :) ))
(8) Selini: "What? Are names not derrived from anything in your culture?"
(13) Lin Chien: ((But Gwal is!))
(6) Uester: "I said the skill of a thief. He hides weapons upon his person, I merely presumed."
(5) Gwalchmai: ((shssss))
(1) Dragonpearl: ((gah! Im blind!)
(6) Uester: ((gwal, ouchy))
(5) Gwalchmai: ((better))
(6) Uester: (( muchy ))
(1) Dragonpearl: As you travel closer you can see that this tall thing is thin and pointed at the top.
(8) Selini: "Selini beens Night's Child in Elven... I assumed there was a reason you called yourself Little Knife...
(13) Lin Chien: "So would any wise warrior who wishes not to be defenseless.... Lin Chien regretfully has no such ability in the ways of shadow."
(13) Lin Chien: "OH, Lin Chien's old friends used 'Hsiao-tao' as street name, because of his fondness for the throwing knife, yes?"
** (13) Lin Chien grins **
(8) Selini: "Well there! now was that so hard to tell me?"
(13) Lin Chien: ((OK, we've been staring at a giant cactus))
(6) Uester: "My appologies, warrior. I was in error. But we still have the problem. If we approach en masse we will be seen and I have no desire to fight something so large."
(1) Dragonpearl: ((no, its not.))
(8) Selini: "Maybe its friendly?"
(6) Uester: ((I'd rather it was a cactus than a giant))
** (13) Lin Chien scratches his head **
(6) Uester: "Honestly child, what will become of you if you always think the best of people?"
(13) Lin Chien: "A well-made point."
(8) Selini: "I don't become paranoid"
(1) Dragonpearl: ((still approaching it?))
(6) Uester: "It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you."
(8) Selini: "And I'm not a child! I'm older than you are..."
(13) Lin Chien: "One way to find out."
(6) Uester: ((NO!
(6) Uester: "You? You're a slip of a girl?"
** (13) Lin Chien rides off to the side, skirting around the tall figure, to approach it from the opposite side **
(5) Gwalchmai: "Well perhaps we go ask if its friendly or not"
whispering to 13 You see that it is not anything living at all but a tall stone obelisk.
(8) Selini: "... I never had the best nutrition as a child... but that doesn't effect how old I am"
** (13) Lin Chien starts laughing **
** (13) Lin Chien continues to chuckle ashe rides back to the group, directly passing the tall silhouette **
(6) Uester: "How old are you?"
(13) Lin Chien: "Big giant made of stone, stand still like stone, hard like stone." He grins
(8) Selini: (damn it! keep forgetting this character isn't an elf!)
(6) Uester: ((hehe))
** (8) Selini sighs "... nevermind..." **
(6) Uester: "I see," Uester replies to Lin. "That is perhaps even more worrying.
** (5) Gwalchmai goes and inspects the stone giant **
(6) Uester: "Let me take a better look."
(13) Lin Chien: ((It's an obelisk))
(8) Selini: "A statue is more worrying?"
(6) Uester: "Call it paranoia... if you like."
(1) Dragonpearl: As the two of you get closer you do see that it is an obleisk.
** (13) Lin Chien looks around the ares for more tall silhouettes **
(1) Dragonpearl: Lin sees none
** (6) Uester examines the obelisk. **
** (8) Selini thinks Uester worries alot and is concerned about possible battles a whole lot for someone who's god is of battles and glory **
** (5) Gwalchmai looks to see if anything is written on the obliesk **
** (8) Selini cuddles her kitten **
(13) Lin Chien: ((Whose, not who's!))
(1) Dragonpearl: The obelsik has many of the same symbols that the city of Kah had on its buildings.
** (13) Lin Chien 's mouth waters, but he concentrates on the matter at hand **
(8) Selini: ((Grammer is for chumps))
(1) Dragonpearl: And on the north side is a small plaque that has a scorpion and a cobra pointing north.
(13) Lin Chien: ((Gramma, not grammer!))
(13) Lin Chien: ((Grammar, rather))
(8) Selini: (both spellings are acceptable)
(13) Lin Chien: "Oh, this means something, yes?" He points at the plaque
(6) Uester: "A demarcation line? A warning?"
whispering to 8 the plaque they find is the same as the one you found on the fountain
** (8) Selini smiles "It means go north... its the same thing that was on the fountain..." **
(13) Lin Chien: "Then we go north, yes?"
(8) Selini: "Ya know, for a secret temple, they sure are advertising it alot"
(5) Gwalchmai: "And what is the significance of the scorpian and cobra?"
(6) Uester: "This temple was not always a secret. And though you dismiss my worries, something caused it to become unknown and forsaken. This is at the root of my worry."
** (13) Lin Chien wrinkles up his forehead, trying to remember **
(6) Uester: "Those creatures are the chosen beasts of the temple's god"
(8) Selini: "I think those are the God's symbols..."
(13) Lin Chien: "Scorpion for Anubis, snake for Set?"
(8) Selini: "Which god is it? Set?"
(6) Uester: "Set."
** (8) Selini claps her hands "Go me!" **
** (13) Lin Chien looks around the area keenly **
(1) Dragonpearl: Lin sees alot of sand.....
(13) Lin Chien (whispering): Do I see any sign of snakes or scorpions having been here recently?
** (8) Selini pets her suddenly startled kitty "... sorry" **
whispering to 13 nope
(13) Lin Chien: ((Is it nightfal or daytime?))
** (6) Uester turns his head skyward. "Great Lord Tempus, as we walk into the land of the infidel, watch over us and fill us with your almight strength that those who stand before us may be cast down." ... "Let's go." **
(5) Gwalchmai: "Which way now then Uester?"
(1) Dragonpearl: ((you are traveling at night. its midnight now))
(6) Uester: "As the girl said, North."
** (13) Lin Chien hums another Shou travelling song about treasures to the north **
(8) Selini: "What do I have to do before you stop treating me like I'm eight?"
(1) Dragonpearl: ((fireball him))
(6) Uester: "Behave as if you are nine... or preferably older."
(13) Lin Chien: ((Show him you don;t have the body of an eight year old))
(1) Dragonpearl: ((onware ho?))
(6) Uester: ((I'm up for that ;)) ))
(13) Lin Chien: ((OK, forget I said that, lol))
(6) Uester: ((yes, onward))
** (13) Lin Chien wonders what the kitten would taste like smothered in plum sauce and vinegar **
(1) Dragonpearl: You travel unitll the sn rises and you notice that the weather is alot warmer than it was yesterday. The sun beats down from above like an unmerciful demon.
(8) Selini: "Why? What can possibly be gained by getting all sullen and depressed? You need someone to be cheerful occasionally..."
whispering to 6 you arent going to be able to wear the armor int he daylight.
** (5) Gwalchmai spends the day out of the sun in his tent **
** (6) Uester when Lin is done humming, Uester sings a little ditty entitled "she was only the fishmonger's daughter, but she lay on the slab and said fillet." **
** (13) Lin Chien puts up with the heat without complaint, even though the sweat beneath his leather armour is close to driving him nuts **
** (6) Uester endures for as long as he can, then is forced to remove some of this armour. **
** (8) Selini wimpers and tries not to complain too much, lying directly to the side of Gwal's tent once they stop so she can be in the shadow **
(1) Dragonpearl: Night falls and with it cool respite from the sweltering heat. You travel onward and soon realise that it is getting pretty cold.
(13) Lin Chien: "Maybe we should have bought camels."
** (6) Uester puts his armour back on. **
(8) Selini: "What is wrong with this place?"
** (13) Lin Chien shakes his head at the oscillating weather **
(5) Gwalchmai: "Camels taste better than horses as well"
(8) Selini: "Can't it choose between hot or cold?"
whispering to 6 I'm assuming you are casting create water every nioght when you amke camp and then praying to ge the spell back before traveling?
(6) Uester (whispering): yes.
** (13) Lin Chien looks at Gwal in astonishment. "You have tried it, and you do know the difference! Hsiao-tao is impressed!" **
(1) Dragonpearl: Around midnight again, you can see a tall silouette in the distance.
(8) Selini: "I thought elves were supposed to be refined?"
** (13) Lin Chien enthusiastically starts comparing the different variations of horse fillet and camel flakes. **
(5) Gwalchmai: "I am, Camel meat is a great delicacy"
(13) Lin Chien: "Yes, yes, especially the sevel-layer camel."
** (8) Selini shivers "How can you eat animals like that?" **
** (6) Uester rides slowly towards the shadow, keenly aware that it might not be another monolith. **
(13) Lin Chien: ((seven))
(1) Dragonpearl: text1: Your horses are plodding quietly along when suddenly they begin to stamp and whinny. You look to see what it is that is bothering them when you notice two giant scorpions cresting the nearest dune and heading straight for you. They are almost as big as the horses.

(1) Dragonpearl: ((heh, her being trained by a necromancer and all. LOL))
(8) Selini: "Doesn't seem too hungry either... I would think dying and coming back would take an awful toll on the stomach..."
(1) Dragonpearl: The kitten looks at Uester and mews at him. It is larger. It looks 6 months old now though you think it may have only been 3
(13) Lin Chien (whispering): Oh wait, lol.... the critters were M, so their init should've been 1d10+3. If you need a reference, look up Table 41 of the DMG

(1) Dragonpearl: ((a ways. LOL. bout 13 days))
whispering to 8 what was the hp roll for?
(13) Lin Chien: "....Perhaps something about this place, make small animals big, yes?"
(13) Lin Chien: "First scorpions, then kitten."
(8) Selini: "I think my kitty is just special..."
** (13) Lin Chien looks surreptiously at his pony **
(8) Selini: "It lived in a temple remember?"
(22) Uester: "That indeed may be true, Shou. Then maybe this cat simply has nine lives."
(1) Dragonpearl: ((heh, eight now))
** (8) Selini looks at Uester "Well it isn't dying anymore!" **
** (13) Lin Chien scratches his head **
(22) Uester: "Yes, but it's mother was no bigger than any cat."
(1) Dragonpearl: ((okay, im gonna call it here. time to get ready. We'll start the nest session with you breaking camp the next day. There was another obelisk pointing north.))
(13) Lin Chien: "Lin Chien will no longer see it as food. It has earned itself a position higher on the chain."
(22) Uester: ((Predator?))
** (8) Selini sighs a bit, but smiles none the less **
(22) Uester: ((Ok, bye bye all. See you next week.))
