Apparently having exercised his hitherto unsuspected ability to become invisible, Esias will move to 0818 to flank d1. :shock: OOC: +14 Move Silently (Unless, of course, the DM has -- *gasp* -- made a mistake! :mrgreen: ) Blast! Always messing up! Let's assume Esias is at 1110. Since you are not in...

Apparently having exercised his hitherto unsuspected ability to become invisible, Esias will move to 0818 to flank d1.

OOC: +14 Move Silently

(Unless, of course, the DM has -- *gasp* -- made a mistake! )

"A nickname, thinks I," Esias opines, covertly watching the newcomers, making certain his shortsword is at hand in its sheath. "And not a friendly one, I fear, not by th' way yon lout spoke it."

OOC: Listen +11, Spot +11, Sense Motive +8

Esias regards the newcomers covertly with a grimace of displeasure. "Bravos," he says in an undertone. "Young fools runnin' in a pack, all full o' themselves 'n' thinkin' they c'n do anything they feel like. No different here than Valder's Thorpe nor Carrick. Best we all be wary, the...

OOC: a gourmand is not one who is fond of eating excessively (that's a glutton); it's someone who is excessively (or heartily) fond of good food and drink. "So there, Bainbridge scholars!"

Not being the gourmand Oldin is, Esias cheerfully puts away two bowls of the soup.

Esias makes a face. "'Twill seem likely strange sleepin' wi' a fish in m' ear," he observes, "but a bed be always welcome, and a good meal be close behind. Guide us to your Alice's inn, goodman."

Esias blinks several times. "I ken your words, learned sir, " he informs Oldin, "and aside from feelin' a mite silly wi' a fish wigglin' in m' ear, I am no different than before. Th' only connection I wish for that damned Prelate is a brace o' m' arrows in his heart!" He then re...

After a moment's consideration, Esias dutifully, if gingerly, inserts the little fish into one ear. (It probably tickles. )

Esias examines the map with interest. "These Eesoo Dust Pits," he states, indicating the area with a finger, "look t' be where th' Iso Monster Lake was in, in our... time, or world, or whatever. That Lake Ayvis is much like th' Aves Sanctuary on th' maps o' the Viridian Empire, and w...

OOC: Ah, the "paypelfish", such an astoundingly unlikely and incredibly useful creation that it could only have come into existence through divine intervention, thereby proving the nonexistence of the gods. :mrgreen: IC: Esias frowns as he runs his gaze over the wares displayed in the sho...

Esias will share his rations with the others (if the entire party pools what it has, we should be okay). He will also keep an eye out for any familiar (?) landmarks or signs of lurking enemies... and he will also covertly watch Thanis and Shareev.

Esias stops to look at the surrounding terrain with a baffled expression on his face, turns slowly around several times, keenly observing the topography of the dusty hills. Frowning, he seems to be speaking to himself as much as the rest of the party when he says, "Judgin' by the shapes o' the...

"If ev'rything went as planned, 'twouldn't be an adventure, now would it?" Esias observes as he slings his bow and steps forward to grab another leg of the what-is-it.

Esias turns his attention towards Thanis, keeping the arrow nocked in his bow but aimed towards the ground. "That fellow there seems t' carry some sort o' noisy magical staff, maybe a weapon," he remarks in a steady voice to the others. "Sage Oldin, it sounded t' me like you said som...

Thais re-aims the reeble towards the main body of the construct and squeezes the drikker again, popping off another shot at the construct. When did an ancient Hellenic courtesan show up? [obscure historical reference :mrgreen: ] Esias moves to 1623, drawing his shortsword (as part of his move actio...

Esias moves to 1621 and shoots another arrow at the what-is-it.

Again, +7 to hit (including Point Blank Shot), damage will be 1d6+4(+2d6 if the thing is subject to critical hits, which I still doubt); AC is 18.

Esias moves from 1318 to 1320 and looses another arrow at the what-is-it that grabbed Leenah. +7 to hit (including Point Blank Shot), damage will be 1d6+4(+2d6 if the thing is subject to critical hits, which I rather doubt); AC is 18. As the target's holding Leenah away from its body, I don't see t...

Esias moves to 1318 with his bow aimed at the what-is-it, ready to shoot if it makes an overtly hostile move.

OOC: Great Godfrey, I think we've fallen into a Space: 1889 campaign!

IC: Esias (:mrgreen:) gets to his feet and readies his bow again, rather wishing he knew Viridian so he could call Amon to safety.

If Rúadhnait is able to break free of the web, Esias will attempt to move through the resulting tear in the web (GM's call as to whether or not this situation has any effect, +2 Str and Escape Artist otherwise) and go to 1523. Otherwise, he will remain in place with a nocked arrow. (Sorry, mind jump...

Esias frowns at Brand's question as he watches the scene before them, nocking another arrow. "That fellow seems t' believe what he's sayin'," he answers the knight, "but does'nae make him right. In the Smoke Mountains, if you string somebody up the way he's done Amon, belike you'll s...

Sunny just took some poetic license. There is no table; the boy is bound to the obelisk with small needles jabbing him. He does look peacefully unconsious, though Ah, like the suave villain who has the hero whipped, beaten, and chained painfully spread-eagled to a wall, then asks indulgently, "...

At the opposite end of the cavern is a large stone obelisk, perhaps 15 feet tall, a miniature version of the one atop the hill. Chained to the obelisk, and quite unconscious, is a 10 year old boy whom Oldin immediately recognizes as Amon Leayh [Am on the map]. Sharp needles have been inserted at va...

peering inside the cavern chamber finding a query. I got your query right here :mrgreen: SELECT Name, Class, Level, Weaknesses FROM NPC_Characters WHERE Location = "Beyond the stone door" AND EnemyFlag = True ORDER BY Name, Level, Class If you want to look for your quarry , I can't help y...

Esias steps to 1310 and launches an arrow into the magical "wall", aiming to one side to avoid hitting anyone (to see if anything happens).

Esias will sheathe his short sword and unsling his short bow, stepping to 1108 and nocking an arrow in preparation for the opening of the door.

Esias will take a swig or two of Brand's potion if Oldin doesn't want any.

(Ow!)

Oh, crud. Alarmed by Oldin's failure to respond, Esias offers a quick prayer to Johnny Cash (don't look at me like that, you knew someone would have to make that reference sooner or later, given the thread title :roll: ) as he tries to go to the sage and pull him out of the ring of fire. This can go...

With a sigh of relief, Esias addresses Oldin: "Good sage, hie yourself from that fire afore you do yourself a serious mischief. Be there any way to dampen this blaze, or must the rest o' us run this fiery gantlet as well?"
