Igfig: LAST TIME ON EBERRON
Igfig: The party learned that the Church of the Silver Flame was looking for them after Blaze's stunt at the Keeper's speech the previous day
Igfig: by means of disguise, they talked with a priest and determined that their intentions were not hostile
Igfig: and so revealed themselves and were brought to meet Jaela Daran herself, the Keeper of the Flame
Igfig: and concocted a daring plan to return to Chydris and stop its advance before the Lord of Blades could use it to lay siege to Flamekeep
Igfig: also, find out what happened to Frosty and the kidnapped quori
Igfig: So!
the_ghost_of_frosty: rip me
Varrus: rip frosty
Varrus: from the story
Varrus: HOHOOO
Varrus: alright
Varrus: so like
Igfig: It is now the next day and you are prepared for what will surely be the final act of this adventure
Varrus: how are we getting there guys
Blaze: Bicycles.
Varrus: perfect
Orrin: Surfing.
Igfig: As well as any preparations you made for yourselves, the Church of the Silver Flame saw fit to lend you some relics from their vaults
Varrus: surfing what orrin
Varrus: SURFING WHAT
Igfig: For Varus: the Twin Rods of Resurgence
Varrus: cmon be serious
Varrus: wait whats that do again
Arryn: silver
Arryn: we will be the silver flame surfers
Igfig: Two wands spiraling together, one silver and one gold
Varrus: goD DAMN
Orrin: Surfing on a wave of emotion, Waffle.
Igfig: As a reaction: you can use the silver one to gain fire resistance.
Varrus: can i un spiral them and put them into my guns
Igfig: Then: as a free action, you can use the gold one to add two dice to the damage of a fire spell or ability
Igfig: Ys you can
Varrus: uh
Varrus: igfig
Varrus: i actually
Varrus: dont have any fire spells
Igfig: oh
Igfig: well then
Blaze: Whoopsies.
Arryn: dont use that feature then
Varrus: WAIT I HAVE ONE
Orrin: Give it to Blaze.
Blaze: We can always play hot potato with them.
Igfig: well then, you can convert the damage type of any spell dealing cold, lightning, or thunder damage to fire instead, and gain the +2 damage dice
Blaze: I'm casting a fire spell, toss it to me, you are doing a fire spell, tos it to you.
Blaze: Oooh that's nice.
Varrus: aw <3
Igfig: For Blaze, a staff named Faith's Shield
Varrus: gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Igfig: a white marble pillar such as might front a temple, with a gold-banded gem on top
Igfig: As an action:1/short rest: you plant the staff in ground, it stays upright
Igfig: While standing, it produces 5-ft radius Magic Circle and creatures in area gain Bless.
Igfig: After staff is lifted (as a free action), Bless persists for 1 minute.
Igfig: Blessed creatures can expend Bless as a reaction to gain advantage on a save (the reroll still gets Bless bonus)
Igfig: Bless is +1d4 to each attack and save
Varrus: thats p neato
Blaze: Fun and shiny.
Igfig: Orrin gets an Animated Shield.
Igfig: http://gyazo.com/b8fb8df5be795e764ed702d7d347e1a1
Varrus: so he just gets a shield that he can use with his two handed weapon
Varrus: NEATO
Igfig: Arryn wasn't there at the time, so Ben (who is playing her today while Frosty is indisposed) thinks she shouldn't get anything
Arryn: Arryn gets a one time use silver flame lighter
Varrus: well we had a day 
Orrin: That's pretty baller.
Orrin: How often can I do that?
Varrus: so i think we would have contacted her
Varrus: like "hey arryn we good get in here"
Igfig: As often as you like Orrin
Varrus: like id have sent a message
Arryn: im scouting
Orrin: Gangster.
Varrus: though i didnt know where she was
Varrus: so 
Arryn: scouting what, idk
Varrus: alright then
Varrus: scouting dat asssssss
Igfig: The local talent
Igfig: ass talent
Arryn: cause ig hasnt said
Varrus: like a grey warden
Varrus: OKAY
Varrus: so whats our plan to get in
Varrus: did we have the girl scry the ship at all
Igfig: new canon: whenever Arryn left the group, she was cruising for dudes
Igfig: or ladies, I don't know which way her preferences run
Varrus: oh yeah we did but ben hadnt arrived by then
Varrus: so the plan we came up with last time was since its so slow
Varrus: we just hide in the trees
Varrus: as jump on as it goes past
Igfig: what trees
Blaze: Yeah she scryed him/the ship, just saw them flying, yar.
Varrus: on the way there
Varrus: or bushes
Varrus: or whatever
Igfig: it's passing through the Mournland
Varrus: surely the mourn lands has SOEMTHING
Varrus: or once it exits the mournland
Igfig: there are a lot of dead trees
Igfig: and actually now that I think about it
Varrus: the city isnt right at the border
Arryn: man its weird, like i dont remember what happened any of the fun adventures yall have had, just on the ship and off, back on, nothing between, like memory loss or somethin
Igfig: since nothing really decomposes in the mournland, I guess all the leaves that fell off the trees when they died are just lying there on the ground, a limp greenish-grey
Arryn: like days of arryns life are missind
Igfig: And once the fortress exits the Mournland, it'll be going over water
Varrus: oh
Varrus: hm
Varrus: well you know
Igfig: let me direct your attention yet again to the map of Eberron
Varrus: id prefer we not fight in the mournland
Varrus: because of the half healing
Varrus: maybe we should wait for it to get here
Arryn: 1d20 got lucky while they were talking strategy
Fortuna: Arryn, got lucky while they were talking strategy: [16] = 16
Arryn: ;)
Igfig: pretty lucy yeah
Igfig: er, lucky
Varrus: dc for get lucky is 20
Orrin: If we could disable its hovering over the water, it would solve a lot of our problems.
Varrus: that is also true
Blaze: His or her name was Pretty Lucy.
Varrus: could we get like a submarine
Igfig: http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090819121531/eberron/images/f/f4/D%26D_-_4th_Edition_-_Eberron_Map_Khorvaire.jpg
Orrin: Though we would be on it, and have to escape from drowning.
Igfig: map of khorvaire
Igfig: should probably open that in a new window
Orrin: MAP FOR ANTS
Varrus: whhen open in a new window its still for ants
Igfig: oh huh
Igfig: that is weird
Igfig: right-click it and select copy link address
Varrus: STILL ANTS
Igfig: wait no that didn't work either
Igfig: what is going on
Arryn: it is smaller for me now somehow??
Blaze: Weirdness.
Varrus: its a wiki image
Varrus: i tried on google
Varrus: http://eberron.wikia.com/wiki/Khorvaire
Igfig: I have the same map open in two windows, one is big, one is little, identical URLs
Igfig: yes it's from that page
Igfig: oh, now the little one got big
Varrus: yeah just click it there guys
Varrus: so i see where thrane is
Igfig: hard-refreshing the page also works I guess
Varrus: where is the city thing
Varrus: right on the docks?
Varrus: lake thing*
Varrus: whats that baby island wAAAAY down at the bottom of the map
Varrus: lets go there
Igfig: Flamekeep is on the shores of that star-shaped lake
Varrus: dang
Varrus: lets get it while its going over the water then
Arryn: http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140622015103/assm/images/archive/4/44/20140731225832!Khorvaire_Map.jpg
Varrus: so all the metal people drown
Varrus: ben plz
Varrus: 404
Arryn: works for me
Varrus: would you guys prefer going into the mournlands
Arryn: loser
Orrin: I certainly do not want to go to the Mournlands.
Varrus: i concur
Arryn: http://gyazo.com/56d17f847ce2c024c1e18627c6c7d94f
Varrus: igfig how far into the waters does the mournlands effects go
Orrin: How much Thrane do they have to cross to get to the city?
Varrus: jsut a tiny bit
Varrus: they have to go near shadukar
Igfig: It actually stops right at the waters
Varrus: okay
Varrus: they have to go briefly onto land
Varrus: we can ambush them there
Blaze: That glowing chasm sounds fun.
Arryn: ;)
Varrus: igfig is their course setting them past shadukar
Blaze: It will probably be going over the Burt Wood, yar.
Orrin: I don't know how we'd know.
Blaze: Burnt*
Varrus: from when we left
Varrus: MATH ORRIN
Orrin: I mean traveling a couple feet over the ground is a little different than flying. I doubt it is able to travel in a straight line.
Igfig: it travels 3m up
Varrus: what
Varrus: oh
Varrus: yeah
Blaze: It is a flying fortress, of course it flies.
Arryn: meters?
Varrus: yeah
Varrus: so like 2 people high
Varrus: 9 feet
Blaze: I was thinking miles for the m.
Arryn: like a jumping fortress
Blaze: But if it doesn't get that high then yar, probably would avoid the woods.
Varrus: two ten year olds high
Igfig: At the time you last checked their heading, which was a while ago, they were just going a little bit west of north. The path would have been heading more towards Thronehold, but if they're going to Flamekeep they'd turn left when they hit the water
Varrus: theres that
Varrus: TIIINNYYY bit of land there
Varrus: that they go over
Varrus: i say we ambush them there
Varrus: they will be caught between three cities too
Varrus: if we could get the armies in gear
Varrus: we may be able to get navy support
Igfig: Shadukar is actually a ruin
Arryn: guys lets steal an elemental vessel, and crash their ship
Varrus: oh
Varrus: hm
Igfig: http://eberron.wikia.com/wiki/Shadukar
Varrus: well navy support anyways would be nice
Varrus: a distraction while we sneak in
Arryn: hang on, just told the country's leader that the entire world is in danger, and she just sent us 4 to stop it
Arryn: wtf
Varrus: ya
Arryn: come on childpope
Arryn: do better
Varrus: shes just a kid bro
Varrus: rood
Varrus: orrin blaze waddaya think
Arryn: i think daran daran is one thing, but de facto leader was also there
Arryn: come the fuck on, thrane
Igfig: No Arryn, you guys offered to go stop it
Orrin: I mean it wouldn't hurt to have a couple ships out there shooting at it to get us in quiet.
Arryn: seriously?
Igfig: since the fortress is pretty hard, airship kamikaze notwithstanding
Orrin: Nope, we didn't want to. Campaign over. Hope he doesn't kill everyone!
Varrus: thats what im SAYIN orrin
Arryn: i leave you guys for one day, and while im fucking, yall are fucking up
Varrus: itd be a suicide mission for them
Blaze: My mouse stopped working, bothersome.
Igfig: trying to siege it would be really hard for a conventional army
Varrus: we dont need a siege
Varrus: we just need a bombardment to get us in
Igfig: ah, well
Varrus: pirate roleplay
Arryn: more than just four people with no way to get anywhere
Varrus: arryn when did you become such a pessimist
Igfig: Most airships aren't actually warships, but they could try and do a bombardment from land
Igfig: using siege wands or just regular siege equipment
Varrus: ben, tonights drink: coconut rum
Orrin: As long as LoB is looking at something other than us, I'll take it.
Varrus: yeah
Igfig: er, from land or sea
Varrus: thatd work
Igfig: ok, sure
Varrus: theyre going really close to land
Igfig: where do you want the navy to be doing that, then?
Varrus: hmmm
Arryn: today is a good day to kill the royal navy, sure
Varrus: hmm
Varrus: http://i.gyazo.com/56d17f847ce2c024c1e18627c6c7d94f.png
Varrus: on this picture
Varrus: just underneath the left side of the h on thronehold
Varrus: http://gyazo.com/56d17f847ce2c024c1e18627c6c7d94f
Igfig: ah, right
Varrus: i think thatd be the best spot
Varrus: close enough to use siege wands from land
Varrus: any objections punks
Varrus: THEN LETS BE OFF
Arryn: 19:09	Arryn	today is a good day to kill the royal navy, sure
Varrus: yup
Varrus: it sure is
Varrus: but theyd die anyways if they didnt help us <3
Varrus: lets get a cool pirate ship
Igfig: well, siege wands wouldn't be on land there, but they tend to have some mounted on ships
Varrus: come from the right side while they attack from the left
Varrus: oh i figured they could be moved like ballistaes
Varrus: transported there
Arryn: hang on ig, was 3m miles or meters
Igfig: metres
Varrus: METERS
Blaze: That's not that high up then, yar.
Arryn: okay just checking
Varrus: we're in CANADA here ben
Varrus: what even is a mile
Varrus: nothing thats what
Varrus: get that shit outa here
Arryn: were in thrane, idiot
Orrin: Turnt up.
Igfig: also my bad, they're actually called siege staves, not siege wands
Varrus: turnt up 3 meters off the ground
Varrus: i imagined ballistaes shooting spells
Varrus:  :(
Varrus: lets get a ship and gooooo
Varrus: with the navy that is
Varrus: i assume we dont need to act out telling the girl our plan
Arryn: so while everyone is firing, we go in the loading dock in the back
Arryn: we need a ladder
Igfig: nah, don't have to RP anything ehre
Varrus: or the huge hole
Varrus: yeah
Varrus: lets TIME WARP
Arryn: the huge hole is on top
Varrus: dang
Varrus: catapult is in
Varrus: us in
Varrus: Fortuna are we all gunna die
Varrus: Fortuna are we all gunna die?
Fortuna: No.
Varrus: :D
Arryn: at least one lives
Arryn: dibs
Varrus: Fortuna is only one of us going to survive?
Fortuna: Pretty likely.
Varrus: FUCK
Varrus: watch it be frosty
Varrus: somehow
Arryn: i called dibs
Varrus: too bad
Varrus: welcome to the real world
Blaze: I'll be back in a moment, technical difficulties, Blaze isn't doing anything right now anyways, yar.
Varrus: i bet somewhere in fortunas code is some hidden gem that one of us will say one day and she will respond to and igfigs just waiting for it to happen
Blaze quit.
Orrin: RIP blaze
Igfig: Mostly insults
Igfig: All right, so the Thrannish Navy agrees to engage the fortress by the penninsula north of Shadukar
Varrus: :C
Varrus: fortuna you're dumb
Varrus: can we do the titanic thing at the front of the ship
Arryn: Fortuna youre pretty alright
Orrin: If we succeed, the ship will be underwater.
Orrin: So no, probably not.
Arryn: 1d20 titanic
Fortuna: Arryn, titanic: [12] = 12
Varrus: :(
Varrus: dammit
Varrus: we need blaze
Varrus: we need PIRATE music
Igfig: while you wait in ambush on the penninsula somewhere... can you describe where? Do you have an idea as to where the ship will actually pass over?
Varrus: navy music
Igfig: http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=dysG12QCdTA
Orrin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lS7_tcwsj4E
Varrus: can i make an intelligence check to mark around where the ship would pass through if they're going to turn around the peninsula to get to flamekeep
Arryn: the tip
Igfig: oops let me relink that
Igfig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dysG12QCdTA
Orrin: Mine is the only pirate battle music anyone will ever need.
Varrus: yeah fuck you orrin igfig probably has something better than DONKEY KONG
Varrus: ohwhat the fuck is this
Orrin: YOU SHUT YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH RIGHT NOW.
Orrin: YOU DAR.
Orrin: DARE
Varrus: im going back to donkey kong
Varrus: i need the big dong
Varrus: anyways ig can i make that int check
Arryn: thats igs
Igfig: do you think they're more likely to go around the penninsula, or over it?
Varrus: hmmm
Varrus: i think around
Arryn: around
Arryn: dang 
Orrin: It's a flying fortress.
Arryn: i change my answer
Orrin: I assume they'll go in as striaght a line as they can.
Varrus: because moving onto and back off of land at a slant may be tough only going 3 meters above the ground
Orrin: Unless it's a cliff or whatever.
Varrus: especially with the chance of hills and trees and shit
Arryn: fortuna around?
Fortuna: Definitely.
Varrus: well they were already going towards the other place
Blaze joined #pwot_dnd.
Varrus: and are only turning to get to flame keep
Blaze: There, fixed.
Varrus: tBLAZE WE NEED PIRATE MUSIC
Orrin: WE ALREADY HAVE PIRATE MUSIC
Varrus: orrin gave donkey kong and igfig gave gay pirates
Blaze: I thought you said iBlaze, but that was just a t.
Orrin: THE BEST PIRATE MUSIC
Arryn: brb foods here
Varrus: you're the only musically inclined one here
Blaze: Also where is the pirate music we already have?
Igfig: all right, you can make that Int check to try and plot a likely course around the penninsula
Orrin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lS7_tcwsj4E
Varrus: THE BIG DONG ISNT GOOD ENOUGH
Igfig: do you have any skills or aspects that might be relevant?
Varrus: hgmmmm
Varrus: nope
Blaze: Gang-plank galleon is freaking awesome though.
Varrus: none at all
Varrus: yeah but its not properly piratey
Blaze: Guided by the Winds!
Varrus: the ship doesnt use wind
Blaze: I'm the navigator though, yar, that was the navigation aspect.
Orrin: It's the accordion-based battle them for the PIRATE KING on his PIRATE SHIP.
Varrus: YEAH BUT IT DOESNT SOUND PIRATEY
Orrin: YOU DON'T SOUND PIRATEY
Varrus: FORTUNA IS ORRIN WRONG?
Fortuna: Maybe.
Varrus: FUCK
Varrus: GIVE A CLEAR ANSWER
Varrus: harrumph
Blaze: Fortuna are you sure?
Fortuna: Maybe.
Varrus: 1d20 i think its just my regular int mod
Fortuna: Varrus, i think its just my regular int mod: [12] = 12
Orrin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfGebptTfn8
Igfig: Fortuna is really good at answering these questions, I don't think I've ever seen her give a wrong answer
Varrus: i dont add anything else there do i
Orrin: THERE YOU UNGRATEFUL LIL SHIT
Igfig: uh, you would add your int mod
Varrus: i mean
Varrus: prof or anything
Orrin: Fortuna, is Waffle an ungrateful lil shit?
Fortuna: Oh god, no.
Fortuna: That would be awful.
Varrus: also THIS is properly piratey
Varrus: AHAHA
Orrin: Hahahaha. Good answer, woman.
Blaze: In other games I've seen navigation run using the survival skill and wisdom, yar.
Igfig: nope, not unless you have a skill
Varrus: nah just 12 then
Varrus: blaze could do something then maybe
Varrus: with that wiseness
Blaze: Funnily enough I don't have training in survival, but wisdom and all that.
Igfig: oh yeah, I guess wis could work
Blaze: 1d20+4 then?
Fortuna: Blaze, then?: [10] = 14
Igfig: Wis would be fine, although I don't think survival applies
Arryn: HANG ON IG
Igfig: yeah
Igfig: ?
Blaze: ?
Varrus: ok so i def imagine varrus standing on the front of the boat like captain morgan
Varrus: yarrrrr
Arryn: I HAVE A RIGHT PLACE RIGHT TIME 
Igfig: Arryn, what
Igfig: oh?
Pirate_Varrus: hey
Pirate_Varrus: that WOUDL work
Blaze: Aspect, Right Place, Right Time, her inherent ability to be right where she needs to be when she needs to be there.
Pirate_Varrus: orrin this loops TERRIBLY you suck at this
Igfig: sure, if you want to spend an FP to get it just right
Arryn: whatever that aspect of wherever arryn was when she fucked off but back on the ship at the right time
Pirate_Varrus: id like that
Arryn: eh ill check first then maybe
Orrin: Get your own damn music then, boy. I'm watching football.
Igfig: or maybe Blaze and Varrus would be working together, so the check would be made with advantage?
Pirate_Varrus: sure
Arryn: what was the roll?
Arryn: ah
Pirate_Varrus: mathematicals with experience with navigation
Pirate_Varrus: to give arryn advantage on the right place right time
Pirate_Varrus: err
Arryn: 1d20+2
Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+2: [6] = 8
Pirate_Varrus: i said that wrong
Arryn: hahaha
Pirate_Varrus: you have advantage dope
Arryn: 1d20+2
Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+2: [16] = 18
Pirate_Varrus: AYYYYYY
Igfig: okay that was a decent roll there
Orrin: 1d20+3
Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+3: [20] = 23
Orrin: AAAAY
Igfig: what
Arryn: woooo
Igfig: okay
Igfig: you guys have worked out a pretty likely course around the penninsula
Arryn: yayyyy
Igfig: describe to me the place you find that you'll be launching your attack from
Pirate_Varrus: hm
Pirate_Varrus: i know literally nothing about naval attack
Pirate_Varrus: someone else cover this
Blaze: Is there a cliffside?  And if so is there a lighthouse atop the cliff?
Orrin: I'll field it if'n you like.
Orrin: So, near the tip of the peninsula, the Thrane troops will launch their attack.
Orrin: Do they have any boats?
Pirate_Varrus: yeah'
Pirate_Varrus: its the navy
Igfig: Navy, not troops
Orrin: He was talking about staves and shit.
Pirate_Varrus: they are on teh ship
Pirate_Varrus: like cannons
Pirate_Varrus: but cooler
Orrin: Oh cool.
Orrin: So, the navy will form a blockade there.
Pirate_Varrus: and we are in the light house
Pirate_Varrus: and we all jump
Pirate_Varrus: and i feather fall us to the ship
Orrin: Meanwhile, we'll come from the other side of the peninsula in a small craft and approach the fortress from behind.
Igfig: It doesn't seem like that'd be a very cliffy place, I think
Igfig: low cliffs maybe
Orrin: They'd have to be super close.
Orrin: And we'd have to roll super well.
Pirate_Varrus: but itd be cool :(
Orrin: It really would.
Pirate_Varrus: we could
Pirate_Varrus: in fact
Pirate_Varrus: say
Blaze: And isn't that what really matters?
Pirate_Varrus: ITS A STORY YOU CAN SELL
Orrin: Anyway, while the navy is attacking, we get underneath the fortress and stand up our ladder.
Pirate_Varrus: >:C
Orrin: I would be doing basically none of the rolling.
Orrin: So I don't really think that would help.
Arryn: 1d20 ladder
Fortuna: Arryn, ladder: [18] = 18
Orrin: And anyway, we don't want to land on top of the ship.
Pirate_Varrus: well
Orrin: And have to work our way all the way down.
Pirate_Varrus: i wanted to impulse orrin
Pirate_Varrus: welp
Pirate_Varrus: sunds like we're doing the aldder idea
Arryn: i am the best at ladders
Pirate_Varrus: navy ladder
Pirate_Varrus: so what we have a tiny skiddo we ride over and put a ladder up and climb it?
Orrin: Something like that, yeah.
Igfig: All right
Orrin: If you can conjure some kind of fog or something to cover our approach further, it would help a lot.
Igfig: well it's hard to have a really fast small craft, speedboats aren't a thing
Pirate_Varrus: hmmmm
Blaze: I might be able to actually.
Pirate_Varrus: how fast can you swim orrin
Pirate_Varrus: blaze can you like
Orrin: In full armor? Pretty fast, as long as I'm swimming down.
Pirate_Varrus: boil the water around us to cause a mist
Blaze: Let me double check what spells I have prepared.
Orrin: Blaze could fate point Gust again to propel a small sailboat quickly.
Blaze: I'm pretty sure I have a straight up Fog Cloud spell, yar.
Blaze: Yup.
Blaze: Had that one prepped for a while.
Igfig: there are wind galleons, which use the same principles as airships but travel on the water
Igfig: but they're not small
Igfig: otherwise, you'd have a small sailboat as the fastest thing you can get
Orrin: I mean I guess we could already be in the water under Blaze's cloud.
Pirate_Varrus: lets go for small sailboat
Pirate_Varrus: and maybe
Pirate_Varrus: just
Pirate_Varrus: hope
Pirate_Varrus: the WIND is on our side
Blaze: Wink wink nudge nudge?
Pirate_Varrus: no
Pirate_Varrus: i was implying orrin fart and propell us
Blaze: I feel that would be quite the blow.
Orrin: Someone get me some beans.
Igfig: Fog Cloud isn't a huge spell area, but it could help at least
Pirate_Varrus: itd be enough to cover our dingy
Pirate_Varrus: can i roll to invent the internal combustion engine
Blaze: It gets bigger if I use higher spell levels I think.
Igfig: oh yeah that's true
Pirate_Varrus: with a fatepoint and a level 4 use do you think you could cover the whole area?
Pirate_Varrus: and our navy
Blaze: Yar, 20 foot radius, 40 foot radius, 60 foot radius, I could do an 80 foot radius if I use a 4th level spell slot.
Igfig:  80 foot radius would not cover all of the ships
Pirate_Varrus: and then fate point it
Pirate_Varrus: level 4 + fp
Pirate_Varrus: to like quadruple it form there
Blaze: I don't have any Aspects that really apply to fog though.
Pirate_Varrus: to 360 feet
Pirate_Varrus: hmmmmm
Pirate_Varrus: that is true yeah
Igfig: even though I feel like you probably don't have thaaat many ships, you just didn't have enough time to gather all the ones that are around
Pirate_Varrus: welllll
Orrin: Well, I was thinking just we would be in the fog.
Igfig: maybe like four or five ships?
Orrin: There's no point in our distraction being hidden.
Pirate_Varrus: 160 feet diameter could cover us
Igfig: oh sorry, when you said "the whole area" I got confused
Pirate_Varrus: the closer our ships get before they spot us the better our entry and distraction
Pirate_Varrus: if we can catch them out of position thatd be better for us
Pirate_Varrus: like the crew mates are not on their battle stations
Igfig: also, note that the fog cloud is normally dispersed by wind, so you'd probably need to use an FP to keep it together with your aspect if the wind is brisk
Pirate_Varrus: well
Pirate_Varrus: orrin over rided the right place right time use
Pirate_Varrus: so maybe we can put that towards the wind being steady for us
Blaze: Yar, that is another issue.
Igfig: sure
Pirate_Varrus: excellent
Pirate_Varrus: do you want to use the level 4 fog blaze?
Blaze: I don't see why not, yar.
Pirate_Varrus: well level 4 spells are the best we have right now
Blaze: The only other level 4 I'd probably use is wall of fire anyways, and I have 2 casts of level 4 spells.
Pirate_Varrus: alright then
Pirate_Varrus: save taht wall of fire for the lord of blades though
Blaze: This fog cloud would be rather handy, both in keeping our buddy ships safer, and making our ambush more effective.
Pirate_Varrus: 1d20 u ok bae?
Fortuna: Pirate_Varrus, u ok bae?: [11] = 11
Pirate_Varrus: shes sort of ok
Igfig: our internet is being a bit slow now
Blaze: Oh dear.
Igfig: anyway, it wasn't a cargo thing, it was a place where they collected scrap for melting down in the furnace
Igfig: there /is/ a cargo door, but that's likely to be better guarded
Pirate_Varrus: Fortuna is Igfig's internet going to work fine?
Fortuna: In your dreams.
Igfig: and a main entrance, which would be even better guarded than that
Pirate_Varrus: :C
Pirate_Varrus: the cargo entrance is the best idea
Igfig: my internet will never be good
Arryn: ive already set the ladder
Pirate_Varrus: i can blow up more boxes with thunderwave
Pirate_Varrus: yeah i have literally all my attack spells prepared
Pirate_Varrus: oh hey
Pirate_Varrus: i could prepare water breathing
Pirate_Varrus: and we could just go underwater with that
Orrin: That would be nice for when we sink the boat.
Pirate_Varrus: i never got to use that :*
Pirate_Varrus: :( *
Blaze: Yar, keep it handy for when/if we sink the boat.
Pirate_Varrus: hmmmm
Pirate_Varrus: ok
Igfig: do you not have any dungeon-type utility spells prepared
Pirate_Varrus: like what
Pirate_Varrus: errr i have colour spray equipped??
Pirate_Varrus: thats sort of utility
Pirate_Varrus: like im just loaded on attack spells her eig
Blaze: That is how Varrus rolls.
Pirate_Varrus: no varus tends to roll badly
Igfig: detect magic, knock, levitate, spider climb, rope trick, shatter, etc
Pirate_Varus: oh no i dont have any of those at all
Igfig: colour spray is an attack spell that doesn't deal damage
Pirate_Varus: since i knew we would be pirates in the open air i never really thought of grabbing dungeon spells
Arryn: hahah
Igfig: oh well
Igfig: Okay. Now that I think you have things worked out, let's you go over the plan once more in full
Pirate_Varus: ok
Pirate_Varus: so the plan
Pirate_Varus: and feel free to interject
Blaze: Interject.
Pirate_Varus: we set up our navy behind cliffs as best we can
Pirate_Varus: fuck you blaze
Blaze: You said feel free.
Pirate_Varus: blaze dies horribly
Arryn: interject
Pirate_Varus: interjecting is now a standard action
Pirate_Varus: ok
Igfig: guys stop interjecting stupidly
Pirate_Varus: so anyways
Orrin: Interjects, but in glasses.
Pirate_Varus: our navy of a few ships is behind the cliffs as best we can
Pirate_Varus: GOD DAMN
Pirate_Varus: when the enemy fortress begins rolling past
Blaze: They will open fire on the fortress when it comes around, yar.
Pirate_Varus: not right away
Pirate_Varus: we are using the fog
Pirate_Varus: to get in as close as we can before they spot us
Pirate_Varus: then we open fire and the fog can probably also make it harder for the fortress to target them
Pirate_Varus: during the fight we floomp out in our dingey
Pirate_Varus: like a row boat
Pirate_Varus: with a ladder
Pirate_Varus: and sneak over to their cargo hold
Pirate_Varus: underneath the ship since we have 3 meters and wont be spotted right underneath it
Pirate_Varus: we get to the cargo hold
Pirate_Varus: ladder
Pirate_Varus: climb up
Blaze: And try to make our way to the engines to wreck them.
Pirate_Varus: kill anyone there or throw them into the water
Pirate_Varus: and try to get to the engines and destroy them
Pirate_Varus: when things go inevitably wrong
Pirate_Varus: we kill the lord of blades
Pirate_Varus: and that sounds about right
Igfig: All right!
Pirate_Varus: once we are in the navy doesnt need to stick around
Pirate_Varus: they can retreat
Pirate_Varus: or keep sowing chaos for us
Blaze: Yup, I've got a utility spell actually that may be handy once we are on boad, but I won't be able to keep the fog up if I cast it.
Pirate_Varus: hm
Pirate_Varus: what is it
Igfig: you won't need it once you're on board probably?
Blaze: Pass Without Trace, +10 to stealth checks and can only be tracked via magical means.
Igfig: oh, nice
Blaze: I've had that one prepped for a while too.
Blaze: We probably could have used that before actually.
Blaze: Whoops.
Igfig: Okay. All the pieces are in place.
Igfig: The navy forms up just off the penninsula
Pirate_Varus: what is their costume like
Pirate_Varus: their out fit
Igfig: you set up a bit further up the coast
Pirate_Varus: this is important
Igfig: good question
Pirate_Varus: for varus's pirate aesthetic
Igfig: I see info about the Karrnathi and Brelish militaries, but not the Thrannish navy
Igfig: probably white and blue though
Pirate_Varus: :(
Pirate_Varus: oh wll
Pirate_Varus: good enough
Pirate_Varus: shall we pause briefly before the main assault
Blaze: Prepping music for aboard the fortress, music that I should have used back when we ended up fighting the dogs and warforged, yar.
Pirate_Varus: i need to pee and run down and grab a dinner
Igfig: Just a few mor eminutes
Pirate_Varus: ok
Igfig: You're all there, ready
Igfig: by your calculations, the fortress should arrive soon
Igfig: ...but it doesn't
Igfig: it's late
Pirate_Varus: UUUGHHH
Pirate_Varus: oh rigiht
Pirate_Varus: cause of ben
Pirate_Varus: *sweats nervously*
Igfig: ...it's quite late
Orrin: "Think you owe me a sack of silver, Varus."
Igfig: it still has not shown up after quite some time
Pirate_Varus: we have a delightful picnic by the sea
the_ghost_of_frosty: hehe
Pirate_Varus: "From WHAT"
the_ghost_of_frosty: i broke lob
Orrin: "Looks like Frosty was on our side."
Pirate_Varus: "What if something else slowd them down"
Pirate_Varus: "What if theyre going over land"
Pirate_Varus: "What if ben sped them up so THEY SNUCK PAST US
Pirate_Varus: frosty*
Orrin: "Then we steal that boat, and we haul ass."
the_ghost_of_frosty: no i killed them
Pirate_Varus: shh ghost
Igfig: All right, with that moment of malaise, we can have the break if you like
Orrin: I wish the gas station by my house had cereal, I really want cereal.
Pirate_Varus: ok
Arryn: we shoulda asked flamekeeper to scry again this morning
Arryn: ah welll
Igfig: I'll go get some food stuff too I guess
the_ghost_of_frosty: i have a bag of reeces puff cereal here
Orrin: Throw it to me.
Blaze: Also this song is too actiony for just being on the fortress, yar, I'll save it for the Lord of Blades I think.
Arryn: if he is still alive
Blaze: If he is still alive.
Blaze: If not then I have two options for that Gorgon fellow.
Orrin: Are both options "sink him into the sea" by chance?
Orrin: Because that's what we should do.
Blaze: Oh I meant for music, yar.
Arryn: reeces is good cereal
the_ghost_of_frosty: yeah it is
Blaze: We had some in the house recently, sadly I discovered their presence too late and they were gone before I could have any.
Arryn: go out and get some
Blaze: Eh I'm lazy.  Though the gas station down the street does sell cereals actually.  If I do that though I'm leaning more towards honey nut cheerios actually.
Arryn: reeces > cheerios
Orrin: Frosted Mini Wheats are the king.
Orrin: I guess I'll just make hot chocolate.
Pirate_Varus: OK
Pirate_Varus: im swaggy
Igfig: all right, I am ready as well
Igfig: shall we continue?
Pirate_Varus: im getting a song for us real quick
Arryn: shur
Pirate_Varus: its a big video
Pirate_Varus: long song
Pirate_Varus: so gimme a sec i gotta youtube to mp3 it first
Blaze: Dun dun duns?
Blaze: Why not just link the video while you we wait then?
Pirate_Varus: oh
Pirate_Varus: i guess we can just go then GAWD
Blaze: Teehee.
Pirate_Varus: its a lil weird
Pirate_Varus: iigfig
Pirate_Varus: igfig
Pirate_Varus: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRUPTXS14A2CD00B10&thresh=18
Igfig: yes?
Igfig: ok
Igfig: this will take a little while for me to load
Pirate_Varus: canwe just go
Pirate_Varus: and let it load thne?
Blaze: This song is very bombastic.
Pirate_Varus: teehee
Igfig: sure
Pirate_Varus: orriin?
Igfig: all right
Pirate_Varus: orrin and arryn
Pirate_Varus: SITTING IN A TREE
Pirate_Varus: K I S S I N G
Arryn: i was born ready
Blaze: What is this song from?
Pirate_Varus: TEEHEE
Pirate_Varus: its from Conkers
Blaze: Ah I see.
Pirate_Varus: which i played to death when i was younger
Pirate_Varus: really any of the songs would work from the remakes multiplayer
Pirate_Varus: but beach dead felt best cause of the wter and all
Igfig: is Orrin ready?
Arryn: email him
Blaze: He's just making hot chocolate, yar.
Arryn: that was ten minutes ago
Pirate_Varus: his house is burning down because he forgot about the rice
Arryn: then the chocolate should alreadybe hot
Pirate_Varus: yeah
Orrin: Oh I'm here.
Pirate_Varus: THERE
Orrin: Sorry, I just got a bunch.
Orrin: Of Mibbits.
Pirate_Varus: oh
Pirate_Varus: hm
Pirate_Varus: well we can resume
Igfig: all right
Igfig: so the big question is:
Igfig: where is the fortress
Orrin: Did he not ask the big question, or did I freeze again?
Orrin: There it is.
Pirate_Varus: wheres the fortress orrin
Pirate_Varus: WHERE IS IT
Orrin: Melted, I hope.
the_ghost_of_frosty: dead
Pirate_Varus: man wish we thought th scry again this morning
Pirate_Varus: can we afford to shoot out scouts
Pirate_Varus: or will that set our numbers too low
Blaze: Do the officers of the ships have ways of communicating with Flame Keep?
the_ghost_of_frosty: how long can fog keep up?
Pirate_Varus: well we havent cast it yet
Igfig: is it still on its way? Is it stopped? Is it somewhere else entirely?
Blaze: It lasts for up to an hour.
Pirate_Varus: i assume they have some way of communication
Pirate_Varus: to send orders and stuff
Igfig: I don't know, do you think you can afford that?
Blaze: How long has it been since it was supposed to show up?
Pirate_Varus: how many ships do we have
Igfig: Also question: how long do you think you waited before deciding that something was up
Pirate_Varus: blaze the plan was cast it as we advance
Pirate_Varus: id say a half hours a good idea
Arryn quit.
joey joined #pwot_dnd.
Blaze: Also I probably would have used my fog cloud spell at least a little bit before they were supposed to show up, or the cloud would have just formed up in front of them and that would look suspicious.
Igfig: you have five ships
Pirate_Varus: hmmm
Pirate_Varus: a scout may not be the best idea
Pirate_Varus: maybe one
Orrin: Can you MEssage Jaela from here?
Blaze: So my fog cloud is a little over half-way done.
Pirate_Varus: definitely not
Pirate_Varus: she could scry us
Arryn: can another ship message jala from here
Pirate_Varus: and if she sees something is up
Igfig: well, I assume you didn't have the exact time pinpointed, half an hour would be a pretty small deviation
Pirate_Varus: scry the ship
Pirate_Varus: and then send a message to us
Pirate_Varus: idk i think a half hour is pretty good for a 20 mile an hour ship
Arryn: its not 20 mph tho
Pirate_Varus: i thought it was
Igfig: it goes 4 miles an hour
Pirate_Varus: oh god
the_ghost_of_frosty: i was
Pirate_Varus: ok
Igfig: the airship goes 20mph
Pirate_Varus: so w'd probably wait
Pirate_Varus: like
Pirate_Varus: 3 hours
Blaze: Until my fog cloud ran out at least.
Pirate_Varus: yeah maybe more lik an hour and a half
Pirate_Varus: before going "hmmmm"
Arryn: i am spending this entire time setting up that ladder
Pirate_Varus: shes really struggling with it
Igfig: you don't have to go all the way to Jaela necessarily, Scrying isn't all that high-level of a spell I think
Arryn: shits gonna be solid
Pirate_Varus: hrmmm
Igfig: oh wait it's level 5
Pirate_Varus: yeah'
Igfig: ok, that's not low-level
Blaze: It's a little above us, yar.
Pirate_Varus: do they have ham radios
Blaze: Otherwise I think I'd have access to scrying myself.
Arryn: we are lvl 8?
Pirate_Varus: no he means spell level 5
Pirate_Varus: which only goes to 9
Pirate_Varus: youd be able to get one at about level 11
Pirate_Varus: does radio technology even exist here
Blaze: So is there a lighthouse nearby?  Something really tall?
Pirate_Varus: id think there would be SOME form of long distance communication considering the steam punky magictech feek
Blaze: Cause at this point I think one or some of us should go up on top of something tall and have a look around.
Igfig: Divination would also work, it's level 4. Still not super low level
Pirate_Varus: ok i googled around
Pirate_Varus: and most militaries are equipped with wahts called a
Pirate_Varus: "speaking stne
Pirate_Varus: speaking stone**
Pirate_Varus: its the key to long distance comm in khorvaire
Igfig: oh geez, suddenly everything loaded at once
Pirate_Varus: so igfig would you say our little navy brought a speaking stone with them?
Pirate_Varus: it acts like a phone
Pirate_Varus: for something important like this id expect it
Pirate_Varus: probably a general has the other one though not the girl
Pirate_Varus: "Large cities, such as Sharn, may contain multiple stone stations. Major stations often possess more than one speaking stone."
Igfig: yeah, likely
Pirate_Varus: then lets get someone to send over the "HEY THE BOAT ISNT SHOWING UP CAN YOU SCRY IT PLZ?? XOXO"
Pirate_Varus: it goes 1 mile a minute
Pirate_Varus: so how far are we out?
Pirate_Varus: then 10 minutes for scry
Pirate_Varus: then that time back to us
Pirate_Varus: so maybe like an hour total
Igfig: oh wait
Blaze: ?
Igfig: speaking stones only work for those with the Mark of Scribing
Igfig: they're Siberys shard items
Pirate_Varus: yeah but we'd have a dude with taht
Pirate_Varus: at least one
Pirate_Varus: im willing to bet the flamekeep military has at LEAST two people with the mark
Blaze: Or, more specifically two people who they hired with the mark, yar.
Igfig: the Mark of Scribing means you belong to House Sivis, one of the dragonmarked houses
Pirate_Varus: hrmm??
Igfig: Probably instead they would send a priest capable of casting Sending a couple times
Pirate_Varus: ok so regardless we have someone who can send a message
Igfig: Sending is a level 3 spell, probably cheaper to send a level 5 priest than a hired Sivis speaker
Igfig: yes we do
Pirate_Varus: alright
Igfig: okay, what is your message
Pirate_Varus: then they send the message
Pirate_Varus: "The boat hasnt appeared, we didnt mess up the location it'd appear, something is up, can you scry the ship?? XOXO"
Pirate_Varus: the xoxo is imperativew
Arryn: "arryn says hi"
Pirate_Varus: and arryn says hi
Igfig: hmm, okay
Igfig: Since you have to scry a specific person or place, and Jaela only has I think the picture of Chain you drew for her, she'll scry him
Pirate_Varus: well
Pirate_Varus: can she scry the boat itself
Pirate_Varus: or frosty
Arryn: she also has that frostyscy
Pirate_Varus: frosty would probably be a better idea
Igfig: she has never met frosty, and you didn't give her a description or anything owned by him
the_ghost_of_frosty: :( if she can
Pirate_Varus: howd she scry him last time?
Igfig: she can't scry the ship, we established that last session
Igfig: she tried to scry Chain and failed
Igfig: ohh right, you must have described Frosty to her too
Blaze: Didn't we have her scry Frosty/our ship last time?  And we saw the ship still traveling, yar.
Pirate_Varus: the big better than the others fire elemental
the_ghost_of_frosty: u no it
Igfig: okay... Chain makes a Will save
Igfig:  1d20+6+3
Fortuna: Igfig,  1d20+6+3: [12] = 21
Pirate_Varus: fuccckking chain
Arryn: dammit chain
Arryn: come on
Pirate_Varus: you might say he's the chain of command
Orrin: I mean you might, but it would be stupid.
Arryn: no
Arryn: i would never
Blaze: Eh.
Pirate_Varus: what about scrying frosty the snow globe
Pirate_Varus: cause its snowing his bits and pieces
Pirate_Varus: after he blew up
Blaze: Eh again.
Arryn kick waffle
Igfig: Since I don't want to reveal whether Frosty is able to be scried on or not, I'll be rolling or not rolling his save myself, entirely in secret
Pirate_Varus: ok
Blaze: Dun dun duns.
Pirate_Varus: though
the_ghost_of_frosty: >:(
Pirate_Varus: that just means he is capable of making a will save
Blaze: Or not, he may or may not be rolling it.
Pirate_Varus: ohh
Pirate_Varus: tru
Orrin: Well, if he fails she will see him. Otherwise we'll never even know if he rolled or not.
Igfig: About 20 minutes later, you receive a Sending from Jaela
the_ghost_of_frosty: can't make my own rolls
Pirate_Varus: her message reads "is your refridgerator running"
Pirate_Varus: did mibbit freez
Arryn: no
Arryn: yeah mine froze for a minute 
Blaze: Oh dear.
Arryn: but its back now
Orrin: It'
Orrin: s been a little fucky for me today.
Blaze: I'm guessing it is being a little fucky for Igfig right now.
Arryn: nah its just a really long retun message
Arryn: 1d1 fortuna?
Fortuna: Arryn, fortuna?: [1] = 1
Arryn: still here
Igfig: it's taking me a while to write this out
Igfig: "Scrying didn't work. Tried Divination: 'Where is Chydris?' Answer: 'The tower seeks a city in strife, spoils of war, a shattered star.' Also hi"
Pirate_Varus: aw thats cute
Pirate_Varus: wait
Pirate_Varus: didnt we JUST learn
Pirate_Varus: that that one city is ruins
Pirate_Varus: and shit
Pirate_Varus: GOD DAMN
Igfig: anybody want to make a Wisdom check on this
Arryn: 1d20+2
Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+2: [13] = 15
Blaze: 1d20+4
Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20+4: [7] = 11
Pirate_Varus: 1d20+2
Fortuna: Pirate_Varus, 1d20+2: [16] = 18
Pirate_Varus: B)
Orrin: 1d20+3
Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+3: [4] = 7
Igfig: Shadukar doesn't sound right to you, Arryn. It's not spoils of war by any means
Arryn: hmmm
Pirate_Varus: hmmm
Pirate_Varus: what about that other city that was more north
Orrin: Thronehold?
Pirate_Varus: yeah
Pirate_Varus: that varus clEARyl was wise enough
Pirate_Varus: to sense
Igfig: Thronehold is the old capital of the Kingdom of Galifar, before it was split into the Five Nations and the other nations
Igfig: http://eberron.wikia.com/wiki/Thronehold
Pirate_Varus: sort of spoils of war?
Pirate_Varus: ok def city in strife though
Pirate_Varus: because of how its controlled by the 5 nations
Blaze: Sorta, also shattered star, stars are frequently depicted with 5 points, 5 nations are represented there.
Pirate_Varus: ayyy
Pirate_Varus: so they are going there
Pirate_Varus: man we HECKED UP
Arryn: whooops
Igfig: well, four. The fifth nation was Cyre, and that's the Mournland now
Pirate_Varus: we should quickly send a message like OH SHIT THEYS GOIN FOR THRONEHOLD SEND A MESSAGE TO THEM QUICK
Blaze: Yar, all the more shattered then.
Pirate_Varus: and then we get going
Pirate_Varus: so like
Pirate_Varus: lets do that
Igfig: all right!
Blaze: Whoo.
Pirate_Varus: we send the message like whoa
Pirate_Varus: get goin like whoaaaaaa
Arryn: goddam, all that for nothing
Igfig: hahahaha
Pirate_Varus: dont use the fog
Arryn: thronehold probly dead by we get there
Pirate_Varus: IGFIG THAT WAS 3 HOURS 
Pirate_Varus: jackass
Pirate_Varus: god
Pirate_Varus: we need the firewall probably blaze
Igfig: ahahahahahaha
Pirate_Varus: so lets get goin troops
Arryn: this was all to stall for time while ig planned the dungeon
Arryn: im on to you
Pirate_Varus: i bet
Igfig: not actually, I just wanted to be a dick
Igfig: okay, let me just figure out how close the fortress is
Pirate_Varus: i vote ben is the new dm
Blaze: I already used the fog I figured, since we  would want it up before they arrived, yar.
Igfig: how long did you wait, then?
Arryn: hour and half?
Blaze: We figured about an hour and a half, till after my fog cleared.
Igfig: all right
Blaze: Add the communication time to it, and about 2 hours from when they were expected to arrive.
Arryn: so theyve gone 6 miles, hot damn
Igfig:  8-10 miles more like, with the turnaround time and all
Fortuna: Igfig, miles more like, with the turnaround time and all: [] = -2
Pirate_Varus: at least we still have the ladder
Arryn: theyve got back to the mournland
Igfig: these ships would go around 8 knots I think, which is about 10 mph
Igfig: but you're further from Thronehold than they are
Blaze: So we'll catch up but it will be a bit, yar.
Pirate_Varus: not by much
Pirate_Varus: we were on the angle of the turn
Arryn: should we rp the two hours catchup too?
Pirate_Varus: yeah
Pirate_Varus: we play chess
Pirate_Varus: orrin wins every time
Pirate_Varus: arryn flips the table
Pirate_Varus: some pieces fall into the water
Arryn: i continue to steady the ladder
Igfig: looks like you're about 50 miles from Thronehold
Pirate_Varus: we huff for the rest of the trip
Igfig: so 5 hours
Pirate_Varus: grouchily
Pirate_Varus: dangit
Pirate_Varus: lets time warp to when we get there
Blaze: Wait, how long is a long rest?
Pirate_Varus: 8 hours
Pirate_Varus: though i can long rest in 4
Igfig: so by the time you got there, the fortress would have gone at least 20 more miles
Blaze: Oh drats, was thinking I might be able to recover that spell slot, yar.
Pirate_Varus: well
Pirate_Varus: if its just one spell slot
Pirate_Varus: 5 hours is reasonable
Igfig: you could actually wait 8 hours, get your long rest, and it still wouldn't quite be there
Arryn: and we cant hide over open water, unless a single rolling spot of fog is hiding
Pirate_Varus: its not like you stay exact until it strikes 8 hours of rest and then you're suddenly filled with energy
Igfig: that is true
Igfig: it started 8 miles out, goes 20 more miles, even if you wait another 3 hours it's still only 40 miles along
Pirate_Varus: i think we should just go
Igfig: I realized it actually was not closer to thronehold than you
Igfig: ok
Pirate_Varus: 5 hours would recover a single spell slot
Igfig: yeah, that's fair
Pirate_Varus: then lets do the time warp
Pirate_Varus: again
Igfig: let's
Blaze: Yay.
Igfig: The whole ship squadron is coming with you, right?
Pirate_Varus: yeah
Pirate_Varus: we still need our distraction
Igfig: right
Pirate_Varus: even if we dont have a fog
Pirate_Varus: though
Pirate_Varus: it might be a good idea to have the fog anyways
Pirate_Varus: we wouldnt be at any more of a disadvantage since we were planning on it anyways
Igfig: you can have the fog, I said you managed to rest up enough to get back a spell slot
Pirate_Varus: and a rolling fog is less suspicious then 5 incoming ships
Blaze: Yar, so the plan can be redone.
Pirate_Varus: though less greatly
Pirate_Varus: so lets DO THE FOG
Igfig: so let's rejoin us just as Chydris reappears on the horizon
Pirate_Varus: the earth bends to 20 miles 
Arryn: LADDER IS READY
Pirate_Varus: so thatd still be 2 hours away
Igfig: what? I'm pretty sure the horizon is way closer than that
Blaze: Fog is ready as well.
Pirate_Varus: nope
Pirate_Varus: 20 miles
Igfig:  20 km, on a good day
Pirate_Varus: ah
Pirate_Varus: yup
Pirate_Varus: 19.2 km
Fortuna: Pirate_Varus, km: [] = 19.2
Pirate_Varus: 12 miles
Pirate_Varus: so almost exactly an hour
Pirate_Varus: lets get a bit closer
Igfig: aye
Pirate_Varus: then cast the fog again
Igfig: all right
Blaze: Aye.
Pirate_Varus: lets go with....
Pirate_Varus: 40 minutes to get there
Pirate_Varus: so once we clash 20 minutes of fog for them
Igfig: Chydris hovers low over the water, gliding inexorably forward
Pirate_Varus: oh!
Pirate_Varus: actually
Pirate_Varus: i misread the thing
Pirate_Varus: for us since we are nearish the ground
Blaze: ?
Pirate_Varus: the horizon is only about 5 km
Igfig: ah
Blaze: So Fog is up then.
Pirate_Varus: so thats about a half hour upon spotting it to get there
Pirate_Varus: thats better for us
Igfig: that makes more sense
Blaze: Music for the current plan:
Blaze: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRBIXXV14A2D09E8DE
Pirate_Varus: yes fog is up
Igfig: You can see signs of damage to one of the towers in the back, and in addition it seems to be... dragging something?
Igfig: Something floating
Blaze: I like this song, as it is similar to the song we used for leaving Chydris last time, but it is different.
Igfig: like a colossal fat child with a ballon
Igfig: if the kid were a train
Pirate_Varus: now we make our escape
Pirate_Varus: what the actual fuck
the_ghost_of_frosty: the frosty
Pirate_Varus: i mean we make our advance on them
Pirate_Varus: what teh FUCK
Igfig: The Frosty
Blaze: (Gorgon)
the_ghost_of_frosty: my boat
Igfig: looking terrible
Blaze: Oh, oh the dragged something is The Frosty.
Pirate_Varus: oh
Pirate_Varus: the boat
Blaze: I was thinking that Gorgon guy was following along behind the Chydris.
Pirate_Varus: not actually frosty
Pirate_Varus: ok
Igfig: the entire front end of the Frosty is caved in
Pirate_Varus: oh shit
Pirate_Varus: this is a good song for this blaze
Igfig: and the rest is heavily fire damaged
the_ghost_of_frosty: hehehe
Pirate_Varus: this makes me want to say just one thing
Pirate_Varus: ALL UNITS CHARGE
Arryn: "looks like frosty beat us"
Blaze: Yar, it is both sneakier then pen and swords was, and also makes for a fun mirroring in intent.
Igfig: I had another song prepared for this, but maybe I'll save it for later
Igfig: yours is more appropriate
Pirate_Varus: are we charging
Pirate_Varus: and are we firing
Pirate_Varus: hidden by the fog
Igfig: Hmm, what's the range of a ballista?
Pirate_Varus: we are using the wands
Arryn: does any bit of the ship look like it was recently exploded
Blaze: Same thing, different ammo, yar.
Pirate_Varus: bruh
Pirate_Varus: BRUH
Igfig: a ballista fires 500 yards, a naval cannon would fire a couple miles
Pirate_Varus: there are metal wyverns like flying machines
Pirate_Varus: dragon hawks
Igfig: like Plumpette
Pirate_Varus: sure
Arryn: like does chydris look even remotely bombed?
Igfig: oh wait, 'a couple miles' was extreme range
Pirate_Varus: id say we begin firing when we reach 1 mile away
Igfig: Yeah, one of the towers in back is just a shell, and the others nearby have definitely taken damage as well
Blaze: Well, how close do we want to be?  Cause we still have to leave our ships and get under theirs.
Igfig: and bear signs of hasty repair jobs
Pirate_Varus: they are going to cover our approach
Arryn: cool cool
Pirate_Varus: so id say maybe 500 meters then
Igfig: the main structure of the fortress is pretty solid
Pirate_Varus: wed get there in like 5 minutes
Igfig: and yeah, I think 500m is more likely
Pirate_Varus: then do we BEGIN FIRING AND CHARGING
Igfig: thing I'm looking at says half a mile is a reasonable range for actually successful long-cannon shot
Pirate_Varus: PREPARE THE LADDER ARRYN
Pirate_Varus: arryn i hope that ladder is prepared
Igfig: if we assume that ranges are x20 for a siege stave, that makes Fireball have a 3000-ft range, and Lightning Bolt a 2000-ft range
Igfig: anyway!
Orrin: WE RIDE
Pirate_Varus: we need a good description of this ig
Igfig: The fog heaves within range without apparent response from the fortress
Igfig: AND THEN THE SHIPS BEGIN TO FIRE
Arryn: the ladder is super prepared
Pirate_Varus: 1d20 ladder falls apart
Fortuna: Pirate_Varus, ladder falls apart: [6] = 6
Pirate_Varus: nope
Pirate_Varus: good job arryn
Pirate_Varus: nice ladder
Arryn: it is the most prepped ladder in dnd history
Blaze: There are 10 foot poles that aspire to be this ladder some day.
Igfig: Glowing beads—no, orbs—streak out from the fog cloud toward the fortress, only to be overtaken by 10-foot-wide beams of lightning
Arryn: waffle
Arryn: you saw the loading dock before
Pirate_Varus: I sure did
Arryn: teleport us there
Pirate_Varus: dimension door only goes 1 mperson
Pirate_Varus: I could teleport us all but id need to use my necromancy blood determination feat
Pirate_Varus: and that'd seriously hurt me
Igfig: drilling into the surface of the massive structure, among the blossoms of enormous billowing fireballs
Arryn: we are all about to die
Igfig: but Chydris is barely scorched
Pirate_Varus: we need to do it this way so we're healthy getting in
Igfig: and begins to return fire
Pirate_Varus: how close do you guys wanna get
Pirate_Varus: we're 450ish meters away
Pirate_Varus: id say 300 before we launch out our dingey
Igfig quit.
Pirate_Varus: welp
Pirate_Varus: sessions over everyone
Arryn: we win!!!
Pirate_Varus: good game
Blaze: Whooooooooo.
Igfig joined #pwot_dnd.
Arryn: awww
Pirate_Varus: igfig sighs
Igfig: great stave batteries turn and focus
Blaze: Fun note, I just learned that Toho is going to be making godzilla movies again!
Pirate_Varus: blaze its your call how close you want us to get
Pirate_Varus: its your fog
Igfig: catapult and ballista fire rains down from above
Blaze: Why is my fog the determining factor?
Igfig: and the sea is set afroth
Pirate_Varus: because you decide if it follows us or them
Pirate_Varus: stays with our guys
Pirate_Varus: or we can get all our ships to 200 meters and have fog all the way there
Pirate_Varus: but the closer we get the bigger chance of being hit
Pirate_Varus: or them figuring out what we are doing
Blaze: Well, how concerned are we with the safety of the shipfolk?
Igfig: the ships are mostly unscathed as well for now, but only because of the inaccuracy of the shots against the fog
Pirate_Varus: hmmm
Pirate_Varus: Varus would want them to be protected but also recognizes that we need to get in
Arryn: pretty concerened
Pirate_Varus: so for the good of the many he'd want it to follow us
Pirate_Varus: orrin what do you think
Igfig: I'm just going to roll some dice while you guys talk
Igfig:  1d20
Fortuna: Igfig,  1d20: [20] = 20
Pirate_Varus: FUCK
Igfig: DIRECT HIT
Blaze: Also also, technically that fog cloud thing doesn't move, so it was probably only keeping with the ships cause of some wind thing anyways.
Pirate_Varus: on our ship?
Pirate_Varus: then the wind would keep it moving in the same direction
Pirate_Varus: so we should launch and go with the fog while our guys stay at range
Blaze: So I'd say we just go, yar.
Arryn: see waffle, shoulda teleported
Pirate_Varus: how far are we ig
Arryn: now we dead
Pirate_Varus: srry
Pirate_Varus: we were still out of range for me
Igfig: are you guys currently on a ship, or on the little boat?
Arryn: dinghy
Pirate_Varus: we're on our little boat 
Pirate_Varus: waiting for our chance to blast out of the fog
Arryn: tiny boat with tall ladder
Igfig: you are about 350 out
Pirate_Varus: sounds good
Pirate_Varus: LETS GO
Igfig: so the ship next to you takes the direct hit
Pirate_Varus: can I blast a stream of fire behind us to make us go faster
Pirate_Varus: like i did way back at the mansion
Igfig: a fireball impacting perfectly amidships
Blaze: That'd make us more obvious.
Igfig: question: who's handling the sails?
Pirate_Varus: thatd be blaze
Arryn: blaze
Blaze: Wind and all that.
Pirate_Varus: lets go viking
Pirate_Varus: so me and orrin and varryn are rowing 
Pirate_Varus: along with the sails
Igfig: oh, you're rowing and sailing, okay
Igfig: I guess that makes sense
Pirate_Varus: gotta go fast
Blaze: Arryn has the ladder prepped, she can't row.
Pirate_Varus: put the ladder down
Pirate_Varus: did ARRYN THINK OF THAT
Blaze: But then the ladder won't be prepped Varus!
Igfig: a sailboat goes about 8 mph, so that's... 80 ft/round?
Pirate_Varus: its not ikea furniture we can pick it up
Pirate_Varus: no
Arryn: this ladder is set, i can let go and a hurricane wouldnt move it
Igfig: a little over five rounds to get there
Pirate_Varus: 1 mile is like 1375 feet
Blaze: Kay then.
Pirate_Varus: plus our rowing ig
Pirate_Varus: orrin is a strong guy
Pirate_Varus: he can push us
Arryn: no waffle
Arryn: not close
Pirate_Varus: :(
Igfig: er, I miscounted. A little over four. So five.
Arryn: mile is 5280 feet
Pirate_Varus: oh jeez
Pirate_Varus: yeah
Pirate_Varus: so we're going quite a bit faster ig
Igfig: The fog is advancing with you, you said?
Pirate_Varus: yeah
Igfig: all right
Arryn: 1d20 row
Fortuna: Arryn, row: [15] = 15
Igfig: well, I'm going to need those of you rowing to make Str checks
Pirate_Varus: 1d20
Fortuna: Pirate_Varus, 1d20: [15] = 15
Pirate_Varus: ORRIN GET IT
Pirate_Varus: wheres orrin
Igfig: and anyone sailing to make a... Wis check? Dex check?
Arryn: 15+1
Fortuna: Arryn, 15+1: [] = 16
Igfig: Wis probably
Blaze: Yay!
Blaze: 1d20+4
Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20+4: [19] = 23
Pirate_Varus: guys i think orrin timed out
Blaze: I'm super good at sailing guys.
Arryn: with my str mod its 16 sorrz Pirate_Varus 
Pirate_Varus: hes offline on skype
Orrin: Whoa now, I just got like a billions.
Pirate_Varus: oh 
Pirate_Varus: there we go
Pirate_Varus: ok so orrin we're rowing and wind sailing like vikings
Pirate_Varus: you're helping row
Pirate_Varus: roll a str check
Orrin: Hold on, how much did I miss?
Igfig: well, that's a good job there Blaze
Pirate_Varus: we launched 350 feet from the ship
Orrin: Oh not that much.
Orrin: Okay.
Pirate_Varus: a ship exploded directly beside us
Pirate_Varus: ROLL STR
Arryn: make a str roll
Orrin: 1d20+4
Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+4: [14] = 18
Pirate_Varus: plz
Pirate_Varus: plz fortuna
Pirate_Varus: yaassssssss
Blaze: We all rolled pretty good, yar, 15 and up.
Arryn: best boat team
Igfig: all right
the_ghost_of_frosty: :(
Pirate_Varus: next time: team frosty in the olympics
Orrin: This boat doesn't even know what hit it.
Igfig: you guys zip forward, and the various siege weapons splashing down around you will have disadvantage to hit you
Igfig:  2#2d20
Fortuna: Igfig, 2d20: [19, 6] = 25; 2d20: [18, 4] = 22
Pirate_Varus: id say we get there in less than 4 rounds
Pirate_Varus: PHEW
Pirate_Varus: 6 and 4
Igfig: so that's a 6 and a 4
Pirate_Varus: thank god for disadvantage
Arryn: wooo
Pirate_Varus: man i love how that works in 5e
Blaze: That could have been really really bad.
Pirate_Varus: blaze we need new music
Blaze: My next song I have prepped is for once we're on Chydris.
Pirate_Varus: alright
Pirate_Varus: which wont be long
Pirate_Varus: ig the fog gives disadvantage right?
Pirate_Varus: plus we're a small ship
Pirate_Varus: so whats the speed give
Arryn: how long till they strart targetting the moving fog you think
Blaze: The speed gives us getting there faster so we have less attacks coming at us.
Pirate_Varus: ok so 2 roundsish then?
Blaze: The fog is a very large sphere thing, yar, and it isn't pin pointed on top of us, or necessarily moving as fast as we are.
Igfig: I have the perfect music
Orrin: Even if they target the fog, yeah, they're not necessarily aiming at us.
Orrin: Do we have to be in the center of it or can we move around within it?
Pirate_Varus: i also haveperfect music
Igfig: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRRZUGP148832C85DF&lg=1&thresh=15
Igfig: oh yes, I guess that gives disadvantage too
Igfig: Anyway, two huge barrages of catapult stones splash down to the side of you
Orrin: I ALSO HAVE PERFECT MUSIC
Pirate_Varus: we're all PREPPED FOR THIS
Arryn: i have the best music
Pirate_Varus: lets all link and compare
Blaze: Ooooooh I was thinking about this song earlier when the piratey music talk was happening.
Igfig: you're unharmed, but a huge wave crashes across the side of your boat
Igfig: everybody make a Str save as the boat lists waaay to the side
Igfig: if somebody wants to make a Dex check at the rudder, they might be able to give everybody advantage on the save
Pirate_Varus: i have trash strength
Pirate_Varus: so ill go with dex
Pirate_Varus: 1d20+1
Fortuna: Pirate_Varus, 1d20+1: [10] = 11
Blaze: The dex check is just to give everyone advantage, yar.
Igfig: you still have to make the Str save
Orrin: 1d20+4
Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+4: [2] = 6
Pirate_Varus: ok
Pirate_Varus: orrin you have advantage no
Pirate_Varus: w
Blaze: So someone might want to do that.
Pirate_Varus: so ROLLLLL
Igfig: uh
Pirate_Varus: 2#1d20
Fortuna: Pirate_Varus, 1d20: [18] = 18; 1d20: [7] = 7
Arryn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDqi8ENS1FU
Igfig: I don't think 11 was enough to grant advantage, sorry
Orrin: Did we get advantage from an 11?
Pirate_Varus: arryn this is trash
Pirate_Varus: aw ok
Orrin: Yeah, I thought not.
Pirate_Varus: well my first roll was an 18
Pirate_Varus: SO THERE
Blaze: 1d20
Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20: [2] = 2
Arryn: 1d20+1 save
Fortuna: Arryn, save: [7] = 8
Igfig: what
Pirate_Varus: gdi guys
Blaze: Yeah I could use that advantage.
Arryn: hahahaha
Pirate_Varus: i rolled twice but my first roll was the 18 not the 7
Igfig: everybody except Varus is washed off
Igfig: unless you want to use FP or something I guess
Pirate_Varus: BYE GUYS
Pirate_Varus: hmmm
Igfig: or have a really clever maneuver you want to try
Pirate_Varus: can i cast feather fall
Orrin: OH wait.
Blaze: I was doing so good at the sailing thing too, we're just not as good at Frosty at this boat stuff.
Pirate_Varus: so they can swim float through the air back
Orrin: I actually can give myself +7 to that.
Pirate_Varus: or go slow enough where they can grab onto the edge
Arryn: can i dagger into the ship?
Blaze: Hey, I was handling the sails right?  Could I try to catch a rope and swing back on?
Igfig: oh yeah, everybody is forgetting Aura of Protection
Pirate_Varus: oh yeah
Blaze: Oh yeah, Orrin's Aura of Protection.
Orrin: Everybody take +7 to your shit.
Orrin: So I make it.
Blaze: I got a 9.
Igfig: because Orrin has completely forgotten it was a thing
Arryn: 8+7
Fortuna: Arryn, 8+7: [] = 15
Blaze: I don't think I make it still.
Orrin: Well, I remembered before we died.
Orrin: Yeah Blaze still goes over.
Orrin: But better him than the guy in plate.
Pirate_Varus: oh hey
Pirate_Varus: hes a pirate works well
Pirate_Varus: buuuutttt
Blaze: I am going to try and catch a rope as I fall off and swing Like A Pirate!  since that song is playing.
Igfig: Yeah, go for it
Blaze: Or, hes a pirate, yar.
Blaze: 1d20 dex is still terrible!
Fortuna: Blaze, dex is still terrible!: [14] = 14
Pirate_Varus: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRMNCSW13A8851CCEE&thresh=42
Blaze: Sweets.
Igfig: also I like that idea, that you can use the title of the song currently playing as a situation aspect
Pirate_Varus: thatd be cool
Blaze: That's going to be a bit weird with some of the songs I've got coming up.
Igfig: hehe
Blaze: Musical Aspect:  Omega Force while sneaking around inside Chydris, yup, that works.
Igfig: I guess we also have the situation aspect "Bulletstormwracked" going on
Igfig: anyway
Blaze: Oooooooooh this For Glory song is also awesome.
Igfig: Blaze doesn't quite make it all the way back on
Pirate_Varus: plus 7!!
Blaze: Would that be a check or a save there actually?
Pirate_Varus: thats 21
Blaze: If a save then what he said, yar.
Igfig: wait, why is it +7
Blaze: IF a check to grab the rope and swing back on, then nah.
Blaze: Orrin's thing.
Pirate_Varus: charisma mod + 1/2 level
Pirate_Varus: no wait
Pirate_Varus: charisma plus prof
Pirate_Varus: hehe
Pirate_Varus: 1/2 level doesnt exist anymore
Fortuna: Pirate_Varus, level doesnt exist anymore: [] = 0
Pirate_Varus: oh no
Blaze: Meta.
Pirate_Varus: i dont exist anymore
Igfig: uh no it's just cha bonus
Igfig: no half level
Void: so +3 prob then
Igfig: yeah
Void: thats still 17
Igfig: okay, that's fine then
Void: i think we all succeed
Blaze: Whoooooo!
Igfig: oh wait, sorry
Void: nope
Void: not arryn
Igfig: that was actually a check, not a save
Void: arryn got 11
Blaze: So yeah, I'm out.
Blaze: Good thing I'm wearing traveling clothes though.
Void: cya nerds
Arryn: whats happening?
Void: you only got 11
Void: its +3 not +7
Igfig: he's got the rope wrapped around his arm, and he's got his other arm grabbing the gunwale
Void: so youre washed away
Igfig: but his lower body is still hanging in the water
Void: so can i feather fall them
Arryn: so can i try to stay on
Orrin: My Cha bonus is 7
Igfig: that is a lie Orrin
Orrin: Oh wait that's only for me on saving throws.
Orrin: Nevermind.
Arryn uses dynamic weapon to *whip* out and catchthe sturdy ladder
Orrin: I read the thing wrong.
Igfig: that sounds cool Arryn
Igfig: make an attack roll
Arryn: whats the attack on a ladder
Void: vs AC
Arryn: 1d20+3
Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+3: [5] = 8
Igfig quit.
Arryn: fortuna?
Fortuna: Definitely.
Void: so 13 hurts the ladder :(
Arryn: strong wood
Igfig: Sorry about that Fortuna
Void: 1d12 emotional trauma on arryn
Fortuna: Void, emotional trauma on arryn: [4] = 4
Void: ig he rolled a 13 using his real life dice
Igfig: fortuna do you still love me?
Fortuna giggles.
Fortuna: Signs point to yes.
Igfig: aww
Void: ben roll here and take the higher one
Arryn: yeah ig i roolled a 13 irl
Igfig: did he roll the correct bonus?
Void: +3
Igfig: your attack bonus is +6
Arryn: +3 cause its dex for whips?
Arryn: oh
Arryn: 16 
Igfig: everything is Dex for Arryn, but yes it's Dex for whi[s
Arryn: aight aight
Igfig: okay yeah you're latched on too
Arryn: whatup

Orrin: Laughing madly.
Void: im on

Blaze: Sorta.
Void: well blaze is half
Arryn: thanks for that foresight past me
Igfig: who is void and why are they named void
Void: orrin?
Void: thats me
Blaze: I'm hanging off the side.
Blaze: Varus.
Void: varus doesnt exist anymore
Igfig: varus your name is bad
Void: :(
Arryn: i am on the ladder like what
Igfig: j/k
Blaze: he did a thing and he got a 0 from Fortuna and so he was gone.
Igfig: all right
Varus: too late
Varus: damage done
Igfig: oh that's sad
Varus: fortuna doesnt want me neither dos ig
Orrin: Orrin is safely on board with his Aura of Protection.
Blaze: *consolatory pat*
Varus: aah
Varus: then we're all SORT OF 
Varus: on board with this plan?
Varus: HAHAHA
Blaze: That one was better then prior ones, yar.
Arryn: does the fog go away when blaze stops thinking on it?
Varus: so we reach the ship then
Igfig: all right, those of you who are still on the boat, what're you doing while Arryn and Blaze try to scramble back on board?
Varus: no
Varus: it lasts an hour
Blaze: Oh right, I have to make a conncentration save actually.
Varus: im guiding us towards the boat
Blaze: Maybe.
Orrin: Can I help one of them?
Varus: towards the cargo bay *
Igfig: oh yeah, make the concentration check
Varus: since i know where it is
Blaze: It is a concentration spell, yar.
Blaze: That's +con then right?
Igfig: and yes you can Blaze
Igfig: yeah
Blaze: Not that that makes a difference.
Blaze: 1d20
Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20: [2] = 2
Varus: welp
Varus: fog goes away
Igfig: welp
Varus: thanks
Blaze: Nope.
Arryn: hahahah
Varus: it helped a little
Blaze: Bye bye fog.
Igfig: it takes a few moments to dissipate
Varus: would you say
Varus: six seconds ;)
Igfig: also Varus, you keep saying the cargo bay
Varus: i cant remember what its called :(
Orrin: Were you saying that I could help and accidentally said Blaze?
Igfig: the place you went in the first time you looked was the scrap bay
Varus: scrap bay
Varus: yeah
Varus: orrin yeah
Igfig: I did mean to say orrin yes
Orrin: 1d20+4 to haul Blaze in
Fortuna: Orrin, to haul Blaze in: [8] = 12
Varus: im guiding us
Igfig: yeah, that's fine to get Blaze in
Arryn: 1d20+4 haul my self
Fortuna: Arryn, haul my self: [1] = 5
Arryn: woop
Igfig: uh oh
Arryn: BYE!!!
Igfig: the whip is really wet and slippery
Arryn: hang on
Orrin: Orrin grabs the whip once Arryn falls off.
Igfig: and it's slipping right out of your hand
Arryn: i am the bearer of this weapon
Varus: this very special weapon
Blaze: And now it is bearing you.
Varus: do you think it can become a dildo
Arryn: can i fate point?
Orrin: That is Orrin's again.
Igfig: totally
Arryn: 1d20+4 come on Fortuna 
Fortuna: Arryn, come on Fortuna : [18] = 22
Varus: YEAS
Arryn: WHAT
Igfig: nice
Igfig: why +4 though?
Arryn: i grab with my other hand and flip onto the ladder
Arryn: athletics?
Arryn: robe climbing
Igfig: oh right I forgot that
Arryn: rope
Igfig: yeah athletics indeed
Igfig: all right, Arryn is back in the boat
Igfig: we are all back in the boat
Igfig: and you have about one more round before the fog dissipates
Igfig:  2#2d20
Fortuna: Igfig, 2d20: [9, 8] = 17; 2d20: [14, 8] = 22
Blaze: We're on a Boat.
Igfig: two more misses
Igfig: a little further off, so you're okay this time
Igfig: Can we get some more checks to propel this boat forward?
Blaze: Si.
Orrin: 1d20+4
Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+4: [12] = 16
Arryn: 1d20+1
Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+1: [20] = 21
Igfig: Str to row, Wis to sail, Dex to rudder
Arryn: WHAT
Igfig: nice!
Blaze: 1d20+4 Wisdom sailing sailing
Fortuna: Blaze, Wisdom sailing sailing: [1] = 5
Blaze: I'm apparently still tangled up in the rope.
Igfig: less nice
Igfig: evidently
Varus: 1d20+2 wis
Fortuna: Varus, wis: [14] = 16
Varus: dw i got u covered
Igfig: in fact, if you don't get untangled Blaze you're going to be in trouble when the time comes to head up the ladder
Varus: orrin cut the rope
Varus: or arryn with a dagger
Igfig: You're just one round away from the scrap bay
Varus: even with that 20??
Varus: ok
Blaze: Just cut the rope and lift me up with the rope like a net.
Igfig: yeah, that's why you're one round away
Orrin: I don't think I have anything with a blade.
Varus: a net around your neck
Varus: oh thats true
Blaze: And arms, and body.
Varus: arryn dagger that rope!
Arryn daggers blaze
Varus: NO NOT YET
Blaze: 's rope.
Varus: WE LOSE THE SAIL
Arryn: or the rope
Arryn: i guess
Igfig: but someone up on the deck has a clear line of sight to you now
Blaze: Uh oh.
Igfig:  1d20+3
Fortuna: Igfig,  1d20+3: [14] = 17
Varus: HRMMM
Varus: waIT
Varus: i cast Slow on him!!
Blaze: ??
Igfig: it's a ballista crew
Varus: oh
Varus: well alright then
Blaze: Cast slow on the bolt?
Varus: get ready to get hit guys
Varus: hm
Varus: ig can I do that
Orrin: Ooh I know.
Orrin: I can try to scare them.
Varus: orrin baseball bat it away
Varus: or that
Varus: sure
Varus: whatever
Blaze: They've already rolled the attack.
Varus: yeah so orrin
Varus: baseball bat with your hammer
Varus: GO FOR IT
Orrin: Torrin steps up to the plate.
Igfig: normally you can't cast slow on an object, and especially not a moving object
Orrin: Full count.
Arryn: 1d20+6 baseball bat the balista
Fortuna: Arryn, baseball bat the balista: [5] = 11
Igfig: what about that antigrav spell though?
Orrin: 1d20+4
Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+4: [18] = 22
Varus: hmm
Varus: thatd make it float up a little
Varus: ORRIN GOT THAT SHIT
Orrin: How about Orrin just bats it away.
Igfig: the baseball bat attempt is... huh, that actually works!
Varus: whips out his fucking hammer and slams the ballistae
Varus: bolt*
Orrin: *coin sound*
Varus: awesome
Varus: hah
Orrin: Orrin cackles madly.
Varus: i think that gives us enough time to reach the scrapbay!
Igfig: I mean, it's still a huge bolt, so  it still has enough momentum to hit your boat
Varus: he helps though
Igfig: but at least it doesn't pierce the hull and start you sinking!
Varus: excellent
Varus: it goes through blaze's rope and sets him free as well
Arryn: it hits tied blaze
Varus: aah the pessimist and the optimist
Blaze: I wouldn't push it too far, yar.
Igfig: how about you all make dex saves to see who it hits or doesn't hit
Blaze: I've got time to try and escape the rope while we get to it.
Varus: 1d20+1
Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+1: [3] = 4
Blaze: Oh joy.
Varus: WELP
Arryn: 1d20+6
Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+6: [3] = 9
Arryn: hahah
Blaze: 1d20
Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20: [6] = 6
Igfig: Varus gets clocked with one piece of the bolt
Orrin: Do I have to make one?
Varus: MAN
Orrin: I did just hit it.
Igfig: actually
Igfig: okay, it looks ike everybody gets hit
Igfig: so what actually happens
Varus: gr8
Orrin: 1d20
Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20: [8] = 8
Varus: man
Arryn: hahahaha
Orrin: God damn.
Igfig: is you're all showered with wood splinters
Arryn: you shattered wood on us all
Varus: that makes sense
Igfig:  2d4 piercing damage
Fortuna: Igfig, piercing damage: [1, 4] = 5
Varus: its better than our boat sinking
Igfig: aye
Varus: so do we get to the bay?
Igfig: All right! Final push!
Varus: whats happening to our navy?
Arryn: dangit didnt add a current hp counter to this sheet
Varus: orrin row
Igfig: The navy... they've gotten a few good hits in on the fortress
Varus: arryn 
Varus: hmm
Varus: use the rudder thing
Varus: dexterity
Blaze: 1d20 to untangle myself from the rope.
Fortuna: Blaze, to untangle myself from the rope.: [3] = 3
Varus: me and blaze can man the sails
Blaze: Nope.
Varus: welp
Varus: ill man the sails
Varus: 1d20+2
Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+2: [12] = 14
Igfig: but the ship that got hit at the beginning is in flames, dead on the water
Arryn: 1d20+3 rudder thing
Fortuna: Arryn, rudder thing: [8] = 11
Orrin: 1d20+4 ROOOOW
Fortuna: Orrin, ROOOOW: [8] = 12
Arryn: welp
Igfig: the others are lightly to moderately damaged
Varus: should we signal their retreat?
Varus: i can message
Igfig: and with the fog dispersing, they're ready to turn and retreat for sure
Varus: actually
Varus: maybe we should message them to go to thronekeep
Arryn: retreat would have bee covered in the briefing
Varus: or whatever
Varus: tell them whats going on
Varus: maybe we can get some assistance out here
Igfig: you folks, however, just barely make it to the scrap bay
Igfig: the door, however, is closed
Varus: oh fuck that
Blaze: I have more time to try and untangle myself!
Blaze: Hurrah.
Arryn: 1d20+6 attack blazes ropes
Fortuna: Arryn, attack blazes ropes: [19] = 25
Arryn: BOOOM
Varus: welp
Igfig: slice!
Blaze: I am free!  Hurrah!
Varus: how are we gunna get in
Varus: orrin can you bash it open?
Igfig: There's a bit of a ramp you could stand on outside the door
Varus: how door-y is it
Igfig: but it's only a bit over a foot wide
Varus: door enough to lock pick?
Orrin: 1d20+4 FUCK THAT DOOR
Fortuna: Orrin, FUCK THAT DOOR: [1] = 5
Orrin: Hahaha.
Varus: FUCK
Arryn: fuck that door
Varus: you destroy our boat
Igfig: the door is pretty wide and tall, but
Igfig: uh, apparently it is quite well-reinforced
Igfig: potentially pickable though, you think
Igfig: you hope
Varus: arryn go for it
Varus: i have a plan but itll take a bit if we have to
Arryn: 1d20+6 show Orrin up
Fortuna: Arryn, show Orrin up: [4] = 10
Varus: welp
Varus: ok
Varus: so my plan
Blaze: I could use enhance ability to give advantage on dex checks so Arryn can try to pick it, yar.
Igfig: not much luck, although not so much that you think it's impossibl
Igfig: that could work Blaze
Orrin: You actually have given me Sleight of Hand to pick locks in the past.
Orrin: I can try that.
Igfig: Uh, lockpicking is not sleight of hand
Blaze: Arryn probably has an actual thieve's tool kit thing.
Varus: is that i can focus my fire bolt into a stream like a welding beam with my extreme focus fate point and cut through the hinges
Igfig: it's proficiency with thieves' tools
Arryn: oh?
Varus: id say give advantage to arryn
Igfig: which you hve arryn
Arryn: how do i do that????
Blaze: Dex+proficiency again.
Igfig: that is also a cool idea Varus
Blaze: And I cast my spell so you have advantage this time.
Varus: ok
Varus: go for it arryn
Igfig: try it if Arryn doesn't manage it this time
Igfig: but you can do it arryn!
Arryn: okay lessee
Varus: i belive in u
Varus: I BELIEVE
Varus: believe everyone
Arryn: 1d20+3+3
Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+3+3: [6] = 12
Varus: i send a message to our navy and tell them to get to throne keep and warn them
Orrin: You roll twice.
Igfig: that one wasn't enough, but you've got a reroll this time
Orrin: You have advantage.
Igfig: thronehold, Varus
Arryn: 1d20+6
Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+6: [4] = 10
Arryn: HAHAHA
Varus: yeh throne hold
Varus: god DAMN
Orrin: Well, Arryn sucks.
Igfig: but they know what you mean
Arryn: this fucking door
Igfig: also ouch
Varus: yeah
Varus: so our navy disengages towards throne hold?
Arryn: "this door, man"
Igfig: yeah, they were already disengaging
Varus: out of the fuckin way arryn
Varus: I step up to the PLATE
Varus: and do what i said
Igfig: okay
Igfig: can I get an arcana check for tis
Varus: thats my SPECIALTY
Varus: 1d20+6
Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+6: [5] = 11
Varus: fuuuucckkk this door
Arryn: this door
Igfig: uh, with advantage, you used an FP
Varus: 1d20+6
Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+6: [12] = 18
Varus: YES
Igfig: OKAY
Igfig: FINALLY
Varus: orrin
Varus: kick it off its hinges
Arryn: this door is our boss battle
Orrin: 1d20+4 KIYAI
Fortuna: Orrin, KIYAI: [9] = 13
Igfig: how about someone helps him with that
Igfig: giving him advantage
Varus: 1d20 KIYAAAAAA
Fortuna: Varus, KIYAAAAAA: [18] = 18
Varus: I SMACK THE DOOR DOWN
Varus: FUCK YOU DOOR
Igfig: that works too I guess
Blaze: We're so good with doors.
Igfig: Varus knows the secret elven door tricks
Igfig: elves are really good with doors apparently
Varus: its an ancient art passed down through generations
Varus: art of the duress
Igfig: right on
Arryn: fuck all doors forever
Varus: thats the best pun ive made this whole campaign
Arryn: goddam
Orrin: This method of door-kicking has been passed down the Amistacia family for GENERATIONS!
Arryn: spent ten minutes on a door
Varus: ya
Orrin: I mean we spent 4 hours literally getting to the start of our lightning raid on Chydris.
Igfig: Are you from Valenar stock, Varus? Maybe your patron ancestor was famous for doing stuff with doors
Varus: igfig i need you to aknowledge that pun
Varus: i have no idea what that means so ill say yeah
Igfig: that's why I said right on
Igfig: good pun
Igfig: top notch
Varus: he invented the mechanical lock 
Igfig:  20% cooler than rpevious pun
Varus: ok enough o f that now
Igfig: yes
Varus: door is knocked down
Varus: fuck that door
Igfig: The door falls open
Varus: lets all get inside and probably get jumped
Varus: where did frosty erupt?
Igfig: revealing the scrap bay
Varus: blaze new song!
Blaze: The Chydris:
Blaze: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRKAABF13EFD279E5B
Igfig: contrary to before, the bay is almost empty
the_ghost_of_frosty: wtf
Igfig: Oh, Frosty exploded up in the bridge
Varus: ok
Varus: hmmm
Igfig: where you fought the LoB and his dogs the first time
Igfig: and I completely forgot to mention that earlier
Varus: this feels too stealthy not enough infiltration
the_ghost_of_frosty: why couldny it be empty before
Blaze: Give it a bit.
Varus: ok
Varus: so lets get movin then
Varus: is there anything of note in here?
Blaze: That big purple clump near the end is where it'll be stuck for a long while.
Igfig: I'll say it's because you were coming at the fortress more from the back, so you couldn't see the top-front where the bridge is
Varus: sure yeah
Varus: is there anything of note here
Blaze: I suppose this is a little stealthy, yar, but we are here more for the engines then to fight anyways.
Varus: yeah
Varus: though id love the assassinate the lob
Orrin: Yeah ideally we will fight nobody at all.
Blaze: This ideal plan won't happen of course, but still.
Varus: is there a terminal so i can set off an alarm at the other end of the ship like i wanted to do 2 months ago
Arryn: how is omega force an area aspect????
Igfig: In this room there is little of note, but I'll copy over the description from the first time you were here
Blaze: I haven't a clue how Omega Force can be an area aspect.
Blaze: Maybe we make a play off of Omega being the end, and we are ending this place.
Arryn: we are the omega force
Varus: go go omega force rangers
Igfig: "you can see large piles of all sorts of junk, sorted roughly by material and shape, and a few warforged and a warforged charger (looks like a roboot gorilla) loading piles into a wagon "
Igfig: "a glow from further in suggests a furnace"
Blaze: Also also since we are inside now, let me double check the length on this.
Igfig: the piles of junk and the loaders are all gone now
Varus: hmmmm
Igfig: "You can't actually see any furnaces here, but there are a number of large hallways coming off the room, down at the other end, with heat and reddish glows emanating therefrom"
Varus: ig
Varus: can i go back to that thing
Varus: and try to overload it with magic again
Blaze: Right, Pass Without Trace only lasts an hour.
Igfig: the furnace? Yeah, sure
Varus: hmmmmmmmmm
Blaze: I can cast it multiple times easily enough though, so yar.
Arryn: are there any people here at all
Varus: idk if i want to risk it
Blaze: I'm casting Pass Without Trace before we do anything else.
Varus: what do you guys think
Varus: i can blow up a furnace here
Varus: but i could also fuck up
Igfig: Nobody is down here. It looks like they used up or threw out all the scrap they had collected
Varus: so we have time to fiddle with it
Blaze: So we all get a +10 bonus to our stealth checks, so Arryn is even more crazy stealthy, and we don't leave any tracks or traces of our passage.
Igfig: Also I am wondering if we should stop soon for the night, it's not too long until midnight
Varus: lets hit a good spot at midnight
Igfig: all right
Varus: lets go to the furnace and fiddle with it
Varus: and get the explosion
Varus: and end
Igfig: okay
Varus: so i lead us back to that furnace i tried to screw with before
Varus: can i reget the description of that?
Igfig: this is not the engines, remember. This is just a furnace
Arryn: 1d20+19 stealth
Fortuna: Arryn, stealth: [7] = 26
Igfig: Yeah, for sure
Varus: yeah i know
Varus: oh we dont need that arryn
Varus: no ones here
Arryn: ok
Igfig: I'll just paste in all the descriptive bits I can find
Blaze: But being stealthy now means we are already stealthy for if people do get here.
Igfig: "This place is... I guess it's mostly made of stone and masonry, actually, but with a lot of metal fittings holding it all together"
Igfig: "by fittings I mean, like, clamps and beams and things"
Igfig: "the front of the fortress is sheathed in metal"
Varus: ok the furnace though
Varus: the furnace
Varus: that we are going to blow up
Igfig: I misread that and thought it said furnace
Igfig: "they are very large and look to be, some are melting stuff down, some are just burning"
Igfig: "A magic missile would do basically nothing against these huge cast iron things, and they're too fire-resistant for scorching ray too. A fireball might do a little bit, but you'd have to cast it a whole bunch to actually blow one up"
Igfig: "each of the furnaces is a large, stationary magic item"
Igfig: " the furnace is mainly spherical, with a sort of round hatch on one side, and a number of hemispherical lumps symmetrically placed around its circumference at three right angles"
Varus: last time i shot something inside of it to get it to start heatingup rihgt?
Varus: ok guys i need your help puzzle solving how we can blow this up
Varus: last time i couldnt work it out
Varus: is the hatch what opens to the inside of it?
Igfig: that is, about 20 lumps total
Blaze: Hey, what would happen if we put water in a place there isn't supposed to be water?  Making steam?  Making pressure and stuff?
Igfig: wait no, 14 lumps
Varus: thats an interesting idea
Varus: steam does make pressure
Igfig: "one of the lumps is right in the center of the hatch"
Varus: we dont need a fire explosions
Igfig: "and each lump is inscribed with arcane runes of the sort you'd see on certain types of dragonshard items"
Varus: ok first i open the hatch
Igfig: "it's similar to the binding runes on Frosty's shard housing, but with some modifications to make it work with Eberron shards instead of Khyber shards"
Igfig: "evidently for holding a spell in place instead of a magical creature"
Orrin: Can we just scratch out the runes?
Varus: i assume the runes keep it burning
Varus: so thatd just turn it off
Varus: hmmm
Orrin: And it would sink.
Varus: so what if
Orrin: Into the ocean.
Varus: we added MORE runes
Igfig: "It is definitely a Wall of Fire spell, but with some unusual features. It's spherical instead of cylindrical, smaller, and with a more focused heat"
Varus: this isnt the engine
Varus: if we add more runes to build more heat
Arryn: we should sink it
Orrin: I still feel like it would power the ship.
Arryn: kill frosty
Varus: its just for melting shit
Orrin: I mean... it's not like the warforged need heat.
Varus: this will cause an explosion
Orrin: Ohh.
Igfig: this is just a furnace for melting scrap, yeah
Varus: cause some serious internal damage
Varus: hmmm
Varus: whats in the hatch ig im still wondering that
Blaze: Salt water would cause additional problems.
Blaze: I don't know if that lake is salty though.
Igfig: yeah, the hatch is what opens up to the inside of it
Varus: ok
Orrin: Just water should be fine.
Varus: so its the spheres we need to think about
Varus: is each one a wall of fire spell
Igfig: hmm, I think the lake is not salty
Varus: or like a sphere of fire spell
Igfig: but then again, it looks sort of like the gulf of st. lawrence
Igfig: is st. lawrence salty?
Blaze: I have that still, I don't think it'd be hot enough for what we are looking for though.
Varus: it is not
Varus: well if each one is a wall of fire maybe we can do something about it
Igfig: then this is not salty either
Blaze: Still, I think steam pressure build up in a system not builit for that could wreck it.
Varus: that is true
Varus: let me check the spheres first
Varus: i guess ill go witha rcana to check one
Varus: 1d20+6
Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+6: [20] = 26
Varus: ayyyyy
Blaze: Ooooh.
Igfig: it's more like, there's a single wall of fire spell being bent into an unnatural shape by the lumps
Varus: hmmm hmm!
Varus: so if we removed the runes
Igfig: which probably contain eberron shards focusing the magic
Varus: the wall of fire would go back to its normal shape
Varus: that sounds like the best way to cause an explosion
Varus: what do you guys think
Varus: can blaze roll int since he knows the spell?
Igfig: yeah, Blaze can make an arcana check too
Varus: sure
Blaze: You already got a 20 though.
Blaze: but alrighty.
Varus: well no 
Varus: to see if restoring the wall of fire to its original shape would cause the explosion
Orrin: If it's being sustained by something, destroying the runes should cause a pretty serious problem.
Orrin: But it might just put the furnace out.
Blaze: 1d20+2
Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20+2: [8] = 10
Blaze: *shrug*
Varus: thanks blaze
Varus: i think the best option is remove the spheres
Varus: let the fire get all 
Varus: bent out of shape
Varus: tee hee
Igfig: Blaze isn't really sure. Probably leaving some of them in place wouldn't turn off the wall entirely?
Igfig: but you dunno
Varus: so maybe instead
Varus: remove the key ones
Varus: that really push it in
Varus: the ones at 45 degree angles 
Blaze: I've only cast the spell like 3 times, and it isn't like I learned how to cast it, but gifted by nature, or something.
Varus: i think im gunna do that
Varus: remove just enough to restore its shape
Varus: so guys back up a little
Igfig: all right
Varus: are there screws or something to get them out?
Varus: or do i just cancel them somehow
Arryn gets way the fuck back
Blaze: You have a wand taht gives you fire resistance.
Blaze: Rod thing.
Arryn stands guard by door 
Varus: ok
Varus: yeah
Varus: i also
Orrin: We could just whack-a-mole them.
Varus: use the wand for fire resistance
Igfig: they look like they're riveted and welded on
Varus: theres a bunch of different furnaces
Varus: if this works we could set off the others
Varus: blow out the entire back of their ship
Varus: hmmmm
Igfig: this is the biggest of the scrap metal furnaces though
Varus: ill have to cancel them out
Varus: like destroy them
Varus: yeah
Varus: whattt ifff
Varus: this is spitballing
Orrin: I mean it shouldn't be hard just to fuck up the runes.
Orrin: You could just do it with a good knife.
Varus: i write over the runes or remod them back to accepting elementals
Varus: and spawn fire elementals and have them enter the shards and take out the spell with them 
Igfig: well, you need khyber shards to put elementals and the like in
Varus: ok no dice there then
Varus: lets just fuck up the runes like orrin said
Varus: arryn
Varus: give me your knife
Varus: actually
Blaze: I think he means just sending the elementals into the furnace to do it.
Varus: make it a scalpel
Varus: this is PRECISE WORK
Varus: actually thats also a good idea blaze
Varus: send in a bunch of elementals to fuck it up
Varus: theyre fire
Varus: or just one CR2 elemental i suppose
Varus: would be better
Igfig: okay, I still don't have really proper stats for "small elementals"
Varus: a cr2 elemental would be easier to grab
Varus: fire
Varus: lets do the runes
Varus: arryn. scalpel.
Arryn quit.
Varus: I CANNOT. BELEIVE.
Varus: arryn refused to give up the morphing weapn
Varus: and removed herself from reality
Joey joined #pwot_dnd.
Varus: i have a short sword but its not exactly exact
Igfig: you could summon an azer I guess, they're CR 2 elementals
Varus: arryn i need your scalpel
Igfig: basically fire dwarve
Arryn: no Varus i am guarding the door
Varus: which idea do you guys wanna try
Varus: fire dwarves
Varus: or scalpel
Igfig: or a pair of CR 1 fire snakes
Varus: snakes are cooler
Igfig: or a bunch of mephits
Varus: ill go with them
Varus: so can i send them in and just sort of broadly have them mess with the spell
Varus: or is that too broad
Arryn: 1) i am guarding the door, 2) i am not getting close to fire fuckery, 3) you are not touching my things
Varus: fuucckking
Igfig: what are you sending in? Snakes or mephits?
Varus: snakes
Igfig: k
Varus: so they slytherinto the furnace
Igfig: you could have them go in and screw around, but you don't know whether the actual magical bits are exposed in there
Varus: i can see through their eyes
Varus: so they could look around
Arryn: deep
Varus: so they explore the inside of the furnace
Varus: do i spot anything?
Igfig: there is not much exposed on the inside, except for a second circle of runes matching up with each of the circles of runes around the lumps on the outside
Varus: huh
Varus: ok
Varus: i call them back
Igfig: ok
Varus: gues sim doing this short sowrd style
Varus: i take out my sword
Varus: and 
Varus: sort of
Igfig: they'll hang out for another hour
Varus: try to modify the runes to cancel
Varus: with a short sword
Varus: what kind of a dumbass roll is this gunna be ig
Igfig: okay, these runes are carved into cast iron and all
Orrin: that might be an Orrin job.
Varus: so i should be more hacking at them
Orrin: Unless you want to burn them like you burned the door.
Varus: or orrin hammering them
Varus: hmmm
Varus: i could
Varus: or heat the tip of my weapon
Varus: wait
Varus: blaze
Orrin: Let me do it.
Varus: dont you have heat weapon
Orrin: Because if this hurts, you don't have the HP to spare.
Arryn is best door guard
Orrin: And we don't know what's gonna happen.
Blaze: Hey, the water thing could still work, if we apply cold water to the outside that could warp the heated metal!
Varus: hmmmm
Varus: that is the safer idea
Varus: but
Orrin: I don't see any efficient way to get a lot of cold water in here.
Varus: not the COOLER IDEA
Varus: that too
Varus: so blaze
Varus: heat 
Varus: my
Varus: metal
Varus: sword
Igfig: what level is control water?
Arryn: there is a lake outside
Blaze: I have the create water spell, or there is a lake outside the door.
Orrin: Won'
Varus: oh
Orrin: t that burn your hand?
Varus: no
Orrin: Yeah but we need a LOT of it.
Blaze: It would.
Varus: thats what heat weapons is for
Varus: we'd need lots of water too yar
Blaze: Nah we'd need a lot for steam.
Orrin: He has heat metal.
Blaze: Cold water to warp metal would take less.
Orrin: It's not like... a fire enchantment.
Orrin: It just makes the metal hot.
Orrin: To everyone.
Varus: oh ok
Varus: orrin
Varus: smash the runes with your hammer
Orrin: 1d20+4 fuck a rune
Fortuna: Orrin, fuck a rune: [7] = 11
Varus: fuck you NERD blaze
Blaze: Yar, you'd have to roll constitution saves to keep holding on to it and it would hurt you while it happened.
Orrin: Not great.
Igfig: you don't hit it too square and bounce off
Varus: i have him fuck up the proper rune
Varus: TRY AGAIN MAN TRY AGAIN
Varus: wait
Orrin: 1d20+4 RUUUUNES
Fortuna: Orrin, RUUUUNES: [3] = 7
Igfig: :(
Varus: what if we heat metal the runes 
Arryn: ahahaha
Orrin: These rolls.
Varus: and then put a bit of cold water onto it
Arryn: like the door
Varus: so just the rune metal wraps
Igfig: the metal is already pretty hot
Orrin: I mean unless we have some kind of reason to hurry, can't we just assume successes here?
Varus: that is also true
Orrin: Is that not a rule anymore?
Varus: orrin just smashing runes over and over again
Varus: lets do the water thing
Igfig: I don't think taking 20 is a rule any more, not entirely sure why though
Varus: water it is
Varus: lets go grab a bucket of it
Orrin: 1d20+4 RUUUUUUUUUUUUNE
Fortuna: Orrin, RUUUUUUUUUUUUNE: [3] = 7
Varus: and dump it on the runes
Varus: HAH
