IC:

Amalthia uses her... (shuffle shuffle shuffle...) Dagger! She holds it, ready to throw at anything attacking the group, angling herself to the side so her companion doesn't get hit if she throws it.

Copromancer and Jenkins rush over to the pillar. Copromancer takes a look at the symbols, desperately trying to see if there is any meaning he can discern (or other buttons to press). Jenkins is trying to jam the button in place, so it doesn't go further in. Marvin covers his mouth and looks for ano...

Amalthia whispers "Check if there's anybody by the door!"

Sir Cudsworth charges the door, butting it as hard as he can.

OOC: Are there any symbols visible on the door? If not, I think we can enter.

ooc: that's my intention, then clarify things when needed (like the spider fang). Should keep us from getting confused if we miss a few days (ie: default is we're together, unless something happens). One of the earlier games my group was separated from the others, and I lost track of everything.

Yes! Dunno if this applies, but a +1 bonus to reflex saves from birthsign (struck by lightning).

OOC: Rolled an 11, plus... I'll look up the bonus(?) to reflex in a second, but I'm fairly sure it's this or +1.

The band carries on, moving forward to the room, cautiously. Marvin's sword is out, and he is more than ready to slash at whatever comes at him (after all, as the tax collector, he feels he should be the scariest thing the locals can think of, not some dark-dwelling crabs and whatever else lurks abo...

OOC: never split the par-taaaayyy!

The Copromancer checks out the spider, and has the Tax Collector use his sword to cut out (carefully) the spider's fangs: venom sample!

OOC: Sigh... Who wants to liiive foreveeeerrrrr????

Um, Guang? Might I prevail upon you to go first? I have but one hp, and no alternate characters. Although... how many xp do we need to level? Is it 4 or 10? Could Amalthia have reached first level as an Elf?

Amalthia looks about, expecting the ghosts to appear any moment. "We should look in the last cabing before diving into the well. Maybe even take a look at the tomb stones along the way? We've got torches, but we'll need rope to get down there, anyway." OOC: I'll double check, but I feel li...

OOC: Nah, just waiting on the group to go, as I believe I'm last?

OOC: Mmmm... well, it *is* a funnel. We don't have an *answer*, though.

I thought we were going to the last cabin.

Int check: rolled an 18, 14+3, and 16. Marvin, Copromancer, and Xim all pass.

Initiative: ugh, rolled a 5.

Xim: I rolled a 14, so I'm guessing the halfling survived.


Marching Order: at the bottom: Xim the halfling, Marvin (tax man), Joseph (shepherd), Copromancer (gong farmer), Jester Jenkins.

Xim, the halfling dyer, offers to go down first. "I'm lighter, plus if I tie my 3 yards of cloth to the last link of the chain, I could make it the last few feet." Mugg the herder agrees. "I'll help as I can. My sheep dog here is dear to me, and I'd be heartbroken if anything happened...

OOC: sorry for the delay. IC: The jester shakes his head. "That's horrible! How cute is this dog? Like, really cute? Cute enough that we should fall to our deaths?! Sorry if I'm not willing to die just so I don't seem rude..." The copromancer peers down the hole. "It's not the dog, Je...

Skill checks: Sounds about right. 1d20+modifiers is actually pretty good, though at a certain point there isn't as much need to roll as power-gamers think: eventually you're going to "hit" even "impossibly hard" targets (which should be DC30), and the bonus is only needed for ext...

Amalthia closes the book and joins the others at the sound of their companion's death. "Oh no! What now? To the next cottage? We have to solve this mystery!" Taking Sir cudsworth with her, and the tome, and the rest of the corn dolls, she gets ready and (when the coast is clear) makes a br...

OOC: Hah, love that. IC: Rawlins nods, and the tax collector hacks the crutches up to make torches. (he also smirks, the begger having evaded taxes for disability. Shock! Horror!) "We'll still need cloth. Have we rags we can use? A cloak perhaps?" OOC: I'm thinking my other characters can ...

Rawlins, gong-farmer by day but alchemist by night, hears of this tale and thinks of the opportunity for research. Jester Jenkins, dressed for work, follows him and the others, hoping for a laugh. "This hill... seems to remind me of a mound. Look how conical it is, so unlike natural soil erosio...

I used the plain text option, then copy/pasted. 5 pcs was the minimum. Should I pick one to leave? I quite like the Jester, so I'd like to play him and whatever others you'll allow

OOC: Amalthia has 1hp, so I'd better keep her back. But you're saying Marissa's going to charge forward, stab the phantoms covered in blood, and get herself drained by the phantoms who will then appear solid; then the other characters are going to stab those phantoms in an effort to slay them? Let's...

Still waiting on an answer of what Amalthia can see. She's in the top room with the tarot deck and the grimoire/diary. Are there phantoms with her, and can she see/hear the fight with Marissa?
