           DM:  Hmm

<<< Aleksei has joined >>> <<< 02:04:38 PM >>>

         Ilya:  I wouldn't expect mr. granger
           DM:  ack? 
         Ilya:  i doubt he received either of your emails
           DM:  ...
           DM:  Is there a reason I bother sending them out? 
         Ilya:  well he was away all this weekend
         Ilya:  is what I mean by that
           DM:  Ah.
           DM:  Is there an erin? 

<<< Trip has joined >>> <<< 02:08:31 PM >>>

      Taranis:  she's launching
      Aleksei:  There's two of me and that makes up for any absences
      Aleksei:  amirite
      Aleksei:  urrite
           DM:  umm...
         Ilya:  no
      Aleksei:  what, shut up
         Ilya:  no u
         Trip:  no you shut up
      Aleksei:  u.
      Taranis:  No your face.
           DM:  Alright, well, someone start up a lolmonk. 
      Aleksei:  not it.
      Aleksei:  Although
      Aleksei:  Is his char sheet available
           DM:  A GOOD QUESTION!

<<< Elias has joined >>> <<< 02:10:03 PM >>>

      Aleksei:  I'll totally do it, if so
      Aleksei:  I have tons of experience running multiple dudes!
 *** Aleksei puts that shit on his resume
         Trip:  Your greatness knows no bounds
      Aleksei:  It's true, it's true
           DM:  Excellent.  Alright.  So, to recap: The party tracked down a bunch of bandits to their source, a small fort on the Northern edge of Tuskwater Lake. 
         Trip:  [ greatness ]
         Ilya:  "greatness"
      Aleksei:  // I'll fix the map with your latest corrections later, btw
      Aleksei:  // for now, observe, ladies and gentlemen:
           DM:  Therein, they defeated a man calling himself the stag lord and the vast majority of his cronies.
      Aleksei:  // http://obormot.ath.cx/~obormot/kingmaker/kingmaker_map.pdf
           DM:  A single man… a fellow by the name of Dovan was able to get away. 
           DM:  You also captured a number of the bandits, most of whom were quickly interrogated, and with any luck scared off of their life of banditry before they were released.
           DM:  Two remain, a large man by the name of Akiros who aided you in the Stag Lord's defeat. 
           DM:  and a substantially larger (and quite a bit less intelligent) man named Auchs.
           DM:  the latter was defeated, but refuses to leave you, as he is "scared of the big world" 
         Ilya:  :|
           DM:  A caged owlbear remains to be dealt with, as well as a plethora of zombies living in the hill on which the fort was built.
      Aleksei:  We kill the owlbear imo
      Taranis:  Since we never got to use the owlbear against the bandits
      Taranis:  We just shoot it with arrows
      Aleksei:  Oooor
      Aleksei:  No hang on
      Aleksei:  I got an idea
           DM:  If you're willing to spend several hours on it, you can probably take it down without much trouble. 
      Taranis:  Unless there si something we can do with it.
      Aleksei:  We tell Auchs to stay here and take care of the owlbear
      Aleksei:  They can be friends
      Aleksei:  Keep each other company

<<< Akiros has joined >>> <<< 02:15:54 PM >>>

         Ilya:  Like, care for it and feed it?
      Aleksei:  Yes
      Aleksei:  Those things.
         Ilya:  This seems mildly ridiculous.
       Akiros:  I… don't think he's smart enough for that.
      Taranis:  That seems like a poor idea.
         Ilya:  Exactly
      Aleksei:  :|
       Akiros:  He'd probably try to punch it in the face the first time he got bored. 
      Taranis:  It sounds like it would get him killed and leave the owlbear loose.
         Ilya:  Maybe we can set Auchs up as a guard for Oleg
         Ilya:  Oleg might not appreciate having to feed him though
      Taranis:  We could just, you know, kill them both
         Ilya:  We could!
      Aleksei:  No Taranis that's mean
         Ilya:  This is true
      Taranis:  Sounds practical to me
         Ilya:  I would feel bad though.
      Aleksei:  Yes you would.
         Ilya:  It's clear this man was not able to make practical decisions about the life he was forced to live
      Taranis:  Well then
      Taranis:  I say we kill the owlbear
      Taranis:  and bring him back
         Ilya:  The owlbear... is a ferocious creature and should probably be put down.
      Aleksei:  Yeah I guess.
      Taranis:  during which time we figure out if Auchs can survive in civilization
        Elias:  but its so cuuuuute
      Taranis:  If he cannot, he gets put down
 *** Ilya nods
         Ilya:  All right, settled
      Taranis:  If he can, he gets a guard job (and his toys)
       Akiros:  Ok.
       Akiros:  I… don't see good things for him, but who knows. 
         Ilya:  What about you Akiros?
           DM:  Two more items of note...
           DM:  Just to recap, everyone got to L2.  Anyone who hasn't already rolled for HP should do so now. 
      Taranis:  Do owlbear corpses contain any alchemically useful components?
           DM:  And there are a bunch of loots that you found here, and eventually when you make it back up to the river crossing, as discussed on the forum, the zombie demanding the Stag Lord's corpse gives you a ranseur +1.  (someone post a link to the loot forum post please)
         Trip:  roll a try then?
           DM:  Re: components... 
         Trip:  /try 20
 *** DM rolls attempts for Trip :
 *** DM 1d20 < 7 = 7 > + 20 = 27
         Trip:  sorry
      Taranis:  http://kingmaker.xthemage.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7
      Taranis:  Complete with allocation by fiat.
         Trip:  /roll 1d8
 *** DM rolls dice for Trip: 1d8 < 1 = 1 > = 1 
         Trip:  nooooooooooooooooooooo
         Ilya:  ok updating my sheet with the natural armor
           DM:  As per policy, 1 reroll of a 1 per level is allowed.
           DM:  That is, a 1 for hp 
         Trip:  Really? You're not just patronizing me?
           DM:  Standard practice in Sandy's game, I adopted it.
           DM:  As for owlbear components… none that you can think of. 
         Trip:  /roll 1d8;cruelfate
 *** DM rolls dice for Trip: (cruelfate)  1d8 < 6 = 6 > = 6
         Trip:  yaaaaaaayyyyyyy
           DM:  So… if you're willing to spend a bunch of time, you can take it down without much risk to yourselves. 
         Trip:  Poking it through the cage bars?
           DM:  Alternatively, you can just let it loose and kill it that way >.>
      Aleksei:  Yes
         Trip:  how sporting
      Aleksei:  Heh no
         Trip:  We're not that desparate for xp
      Taranis:  we have an archer and a guy who can shoot rays of frost nonstop
           DM:  Poking, shooting arrows, etc... 
      Aleksei:  CONTINUOUS FROST BEAM LASERS
         Ilya:  lol
           DM:  So, the owlbear is dealt with.
           DM:  You also wanted to deal with the zombies on the South slope. 
      Aleksei:  It is an ex-owlbear.
      Aleksei:  Yes we did
      Aleksei:  BUT
      Aleksei:  Maybe we should track down the guy first
         Ilya:  sadly the 1 hp policy got me a 2
      Aleksei:  Before his trail goes cold
         Ilya:  eh
         Ilya:  From what I understand
           DM:  Ah, indeed.
      Aleksei:  Davon or Dovan or what have you
         Ilya:  his trail is already cold
           DM:  Dovan. 
         Ilya:  and I'm not particular concerned about him
      Aleksei:  Minivan.
         Ilya:  Akiros do you think we should be worried?
           DM:  And yes, you weren't able to find his tracks last time.
      Aleksei:  Bah
      Aleksei:  Clearly our rangers fail
      Aleksei:  But yeah what does Akiros think
       Akiros:  Probably, but he's a sniveling weasel.  I doubt he'd be nearly as effective a leader as the Stag lord. 
      Aleksei:  Well I guess we can deal with that later
 *** Akiros he looks at Auchs.
       Akiros:  (-he) 
       Akiros:  And there are other problems to deal with.
       Akiros:  That one will be at least as much trouble. 
      Taranis:  Well, you know him better than anyone else here.
       Akiros:  And yet I probably won't bring myself to put him out of his misery.
 *** Akiros sighs. 
         Ilya:  So we'll take him with us for now.
         Ilya:  However those undead need to be dealt with immediately before they can harm anyone else.
 *** Akiros nods.
       Akiros:  They don't seem leave the hillside… but they'll swarm anything that shows up there. 
      Taranis:  // I suggest we throw monks at them
      Aleksei:  Well they are unnatural
         Ilya:  They are an abomination and we must take action.
      Aleksei:  And we should kill them.
         Ilya:  Akiros I do not expect you to follow us necessarily, but if you wish to aid us it would be most appreciated.
       Akiros:  I'll assist as I can.
 *** Ilya nods
         Ilya:  Ok let's go scout that area then
           DM:  For simplicity, let's say that Akiros and Bolgan handle a bunch of the zombies offscreen 
           DM:  The area is a rocky slope.  It's reasonably gradual, and there are some larger boulders here and there.
         Ilya:  sounds good
      Taranis:  And the rest of us are free to return the Stag Lord's corpse to that river undead guy, and what, head back to Oleg's with a few sledges of stuff?
         Ilya:  I think he meant
         Ilya:  while we're all fighting
         Ilya:  we don't include them in combat
           DM:  Right. 
      Taranis:  ah
         Ilya:  let's kill the undead
           DM:  ok
         Ilya:  then go back
         Ilya:  with all the stuff.
      Aleksei:  Do we know where the entrance is
           DM:  http://hugin.xthemage.net/hugin/?instance=kingmaker 
      Aleksei:  To the cave or whatever
           DM:  Cave?
      Aleksei:  Ah
           DM:  Oh, the tunnel? 
      Aleksei:  Well wherever the zombies live.
       Akiros:  They live in the ground.
      Aleksei:  So then that's what I meant.
       Akiros:  Just seem to spring out wherever someone or something steps. 
      Aleksei:  Oh.
      Aleksei:  Um what are we looking at here
      Aleksei:  On this map
           DM:  A small area of field about 200 ft from the southern wall of the fort.
           DM:  Akiros informs you that stepping into the area around where row 10 is will cause the area to be swarmed by zombies. 
         Ilya:  thinks Aleksei should go for it
      Taranis:  We're coming from the top?
 *** Ilya thinks Aleksei should go for it
      Aleksei:  One sec
           DM:  You can climb over the fort walls to get out if you want.
           DM:  Alternatively you can circle around and come in from the south. 
           DM:  or… if you want, you can come in from any direction that isn't north.
      Aleksei:  We didn't have a night's rest after the battle did we?
           DM:  You did. 
      Aleksei:  Oh well
      Aleksei:  In that case
           DM:  It was nighttime when that happened.
      Aleksei:  Check it out
 *** Aleksei prepares Detect Undead
 *** Aleksei now casts Detect Undead
 *** Aleksei looks at the place where Akiros says
           DM:  The second anyone steps onto the ground starting at about 250 ft from the keep walls, zombies start popping up. 
           DM:  (is what he tells you)
         Ilya:  We rest like all the time
      Aleksei:  Which on this map is row 10?
      Aleksei:  Well regardless
      Aleksei:  I look there.
           DM:  ok 
           DM:  You're still outside of the area?
      Aleksei:  Oh quite
           DM:  You detect no undead. 
      Aleksei:  60 ft cone-shaped emanation
           DM:  Yup
      Aleksei:  I advance slowly until I'm like 10 ft away
      Aleksei:  Still nothing eh
           DM:  Still no undead. 
      Aleksei:  Very well
 *** Aleksei Shield of Faith
 *** Aleksei total defense
 *** Aleksei walks in
 *** Taranis hangs back watching Aleksei
           DM:  Everyone place minis please.
      Taranis:  where are they going?
      Aleksei:  who
      Aleksei:  Oh
      Aleksei:  Row 10
      Aleksei:  Of the map
      Aleksei:  Is where the Zombie Zone begins
           DM:  Assuming you're approaching from the South, then row 10 on the map, or below. 
         Ilya:  so the area with the rocks
           DM:  Yes
         Ilya:  is where the zombies come from
      Aleksei:  So I guess you guys want to be south of that
         Ilya:  so place yourselves below that
      Aleksei:  While I go in and play bait
         Ilya:  we are approaching from the south
         Ilya:  this is a hill
         Ilya:  tha goes north
           DM:  Yep. 
           DM:  North is up.
           DM:  And the gate is down. 
           DM:  Ok.
           DM:  As Aleksei moves up into the area of undead... 
      Aleksei:  Zombie zoooooooone
           DM:  Detect undead starts to ping.
           DM:  Auras begin to emerge from the ground. 
      Aleksei:  Hey guys there are zombies here
           DM:  Lots of them.
           DM:  Four zombies spring out, and you can see more enroute. 
      Aleksei:  Come on over here and hit them
         Ilya:  ... duh.
      Aleksei:  Just saying.
         Ilya:  :|
      Taranis:  My kingdom for 3rd level spells.

      Aleksei:  // do we roll init yet or what

           DM:  With a BAB of +1 or higher, you can do that during the move, so you've still got a standard action.

         Ilya:  :O
      Aleksei:  Yeah just move
           DM:  However note that you can take a double-move and avoid attacks of opportunity.
      Aleksei:  ^
      Aleksei:  Yes undead can be crit
         Trip:  Do I get to use a reflex save to avoid an AoO?
           DM:  No, but you can use acrobatics. 
      Aleksei:  If you just move and do nothing else
      Aleksei:  Then you automatically avoid AoOs
         Trip:  Fine. I won't risk it. 
      Aleksei:  But yeah if you want to move and standard you can roll Acrobatics to avoid AoOs
         Trip:  That was what I wanted to do, but felt encouraged not to. I'm good at moving by baddies.

         Ilya:  wouldn't she
      Aleksei:  or east
      Aleksei:  That works too

           DM:  well, he is this round. 
         Ilya:  I meant total.
           DM:  Taranis!
      Taranis:  hmm
      Aleksei:  Yeah probably not more than you
           DM:  same ballpark.

         Ilya:           Ilya:  we should have made that K:R check before we went here
         Ilya:        Zombies:  Taranis! 
         Ilya:           Ilya:  and then decided to go back to Oleg's before coming here
         Ilya:  
           DM:  It does not affect objects. 
      Aleksei:  Oh
         Ilya:  hindsight is 20/20 of course
      Aleksei:  Well what would that have affected?
      Aleksei:  Getting B weapons?
      Taranis:  nope, no object
         Ilya:  it would have gotten us bludgeoning weapons
         Ilya:  or in my case
         Ilya:  than ranseur
         Ilya:  that the swamp thing has
      Taranis:  in that case, I will be withdrawing
         Ilya:  that*
           DM:  ok
           DM:  Aleksei? 
      Taranis:  someone's going to have to help get Trip... Ilya hopefully can clear out safely

         Ilya:  well
         Ilya:  I'd rather not!
         Ilya:  but I guess we have no choice
         Ilya:  maybe I should get a shield.
         Ilya:  then I'd be more or less unhittable.

      Taranis:  on the plus side... it should be quite easy to take the rest down when rested up
         Ilya:  assuming that the hill isn't somehow generating them
         Trip:  (assuming more don't spring up... like daisies)
        Elias:  we're withdrawing?
           DM:  Seems like

         Ilya:  how are the others looking
           DM:  14 and 15 are unhurt
         Trip:  I have a healing potion I can use if I get up.
           DM:  13 is nearly dead 
         Ilya:  k
         Ilya:  12?
           DM:  12 is slightly injured, and 4 is moderately wounded.
         Ilya:  and 4?
         Ilya:  ok
         Ilya:  Aleksei can remove the potion from trip's pocket
         Ilya:  and feed it to her
         Ilya:  can you take a swift action in place of a move action?
         Ilya:  no I think not
           DM:  no 
         Ilya:  I will fight defensively
           DM:  k
         Ilya:  Elias can keep taking potshots
         Ilya:  Taranis could finish off nearly dead ones with ray of frost?
      Taranis:  In theory
           DM:  So Ilya is fighting defensively. 
         Ilya:  is it my turn?
           DM:  Yes
         Ilya:  ok here's the plan

         Ilya:  I 5ft step like so

         Ilya:  that would have hit
      Aleksei:  Yes
           DM:  The last turn got you… what was it, 6 hp? 
      Aleksei:  You were at -7, I healed you for 4
         Ilya:  hopefully this full defense gets me something
      Aleksei:  Now you get 6 more
         Trip:  Okay. Yes. Concious now.
           DM:  ok, Trip can also act.
         Trip:  I missed the +4 bit.
         Trip:  Both a move and action?
           DM:  yep 
           DM:  you are however, prone.  It's a move action to get up.
         Trip:  Aleksei? Can I go whack 14, carefully?
      Aleksei:  I wouldn't
      Aleksei:  I am 100% out of heals
         Trip:  Ah. Guess I withdraw then!
      Aleksei:  Except like some bandages.
      Aleksei:  Maybe throw something at them?
      Aleksei:  Throw your axes
      Aleksei:  Or do you have any ranged stuff
         Trip:  That's the plan. 
      Aleksei:  mmk

         Trip:  gosh darn
           DM:  hmm… is that adding the bonus for being concealed?  
           DM:  (Is that +2?) 
         Trip:  er, yes
         Trip:  -4 for the distance
         Trip:  so 12 I guess
         Ilya:  ehhh
         Ilya:  do we have anything injured enough that this will help?
         Ilya:  if not
         Ilya:  just get Aleksei and I out of the area
         Ilya:  they're not on you.
         Trip:  sorry. It's a sad day when I'm the strongest one around.
         Ilya:  well elias is also like 10 str
         Ilya:  but he's running around
           DM:  Ok… if that's what you do… the zombies continue to pursue Taranis and Elias around the keep for a bit.
 *** Trip drag drag drag
           DM:  dragging is what, 1/2 speed? 
           DM:  ah, capped at 5 ft/rnd.
         Trip:  This is going to take a while.
           DM:  Ok, well, let's say you manage to enlist Bolgan's aid in this. 
           DM:  Given the zombie's limitations, Elias and Taranis are not in any threat as long as they keep moving.
      Taranis:  Well if they keep chasing us and we don't run into anything else
      Taranis:  we can easily eliminate them given time
         Trip:  The run-and-potshot-strategy
           DM:  well, eventually you'll make it around to the other side of the keep and they'll break off. 
           DM:  let's have say… 10 attack rolls each.
      Taranis:  hmm

         Ilya:  contend*
         Ilya:  so that looks like some kills
           DM:  Indeed.
           DM:  that is in fact, enough to eliminate the remaining 3 
           DM:  No further zombies arise.
        Elias:  thank gods
           DM:  Aaand… that's that. 
         Ilya:  woo
         Ilya:  \o/
      Taranis:  and everyone is stable, which just means we're slowed up
           DM:  Ok.
           DM:  Well, assuming you continue to carry out the plans as planned... 
         Trip:  Not our proudest day, but we'll take it.
      Aleksei:  We're heroes!
 *** Aleksei is still unconscious though
        Elias:  have a potion
      Taranis:  We're not very efficient heroes, it seems
 *** Ilya also unconscious
           DM:  the sleds slow you down somewhat.
        Elias:  /roll 2d8+3
 *** DM rolls dice for Elias: 2d8 < 7 3 = 10 > + 3 = 13 
           DM:  Are you going to rest at the keep until Ilya/Aleksei recover?
        Elias:  have that much healing
         Ilya:  eh save the potion
         Ilya:  we spend a day resting
         Trip:  damn straight
           DM:  Ok 
        Elias:  nevermind then
           DM:  Anyone want to make a Heal check to help them out?
        Elias:  /try 1
 *** DM rolls attempts for Elias :
 *** DM 1d20 < 20 = 20 > + 1 = 21 
        Elias:  heal check
 *** Aleksei heals twice as much I guess?
      Aleksei:  What's the usual
      Aleksei:  Level+Con?
           DM:  success, both Aleksei and Ilya recover 4 hp over the next few hours.
      Aleksei:  Or just level
      Taranis:  I think just level
      Aleksei:  k
           DM:  just level 
 *** Aleksei still unconscious
         Ilya:  well
         Ilya:  i'm conscious
      Taranis:  but if Ilya wakes up, he will be able to Lay on Hands
         Ilya:  in any case we spend the day
         Ilya:  and then the next day aleksei can use his spells
         Ilya:  and we'll be good
           DM:  Ok.
         Ilya:  say we spend 2 days
           DM:  2 days. 
      Aleksei:  yay.
           DM:  One more Heal check.
        Elias:  /try 1
 *** DM rolls attempts for Elias :
 *** DM 1d20 < 12 = 12 > + 1 = 13 
           DM:  Anyone else?
         Ilya:  aleksei can make this one
      Aleksei:  /try 7;Heal
 *** DM rolls attempts for Aleksei :
 *** DM (Heal)  1d20 < 15 = 15 > + 7 = 22 
           DM:  Ok
           DM:  a bunch more HP and people are up. 
         Ilya:  i mean I was up after the first heal check
           DM:  So, movement-wise, the sleds will slow you down to 20 ft.
         Ilya:  we just spend a day to get our resources back up to full.
         Ilya:  so we should be gtg
           DM:  Ok. 
           DM:  With the sleds slowing your horses down, it takes you about a day or so to get back up to the river crossing.
      Taranis:  I presume there's food in the keep we can consume rather than depleting our stocks?
           DM:  Most of it's fresh game, but let's say you can get 25 person/days worth of food out of it. 
           DM:  The crossing itself is on the other side of the Thorn river, but you can see it in the distance.
      Taranis:  and there are now 7 people eating
      Taranis:  err... 8 with auchs around too
      Taranis:  so 3 days worth
           DM:  Survival can also be used to bump that up. 
      Taranis:  though I suppose Elias could do a little hunting while we rest up... and given how slowed we are by the sleds, hunting will keep us in food as we travel anyway
        Elias:  sure
           DM:  Let's say that since you're dragging the sleds behind, hunting parties can go out and about without slowing everyone else  down.
        Elias:  /try 9
 *** DM rolls attempts for Elias :
 *** DM 1d20 < 20 = 20 > + 9 = 29 
      Aleksei:  // We get like 50 thousand XP for this
      Aleksei:  // right
      Aleksei:  // Ok guys I'm out
           DM:  Let's see… 8 people is DC 26
           DM:  k, 'later 

<<< Aleksei has left >>> <<< 06:01:28 PM >>>

           DM:  or rather, a check result of 26 keeps 8 people fed.
        Elias:  I rolled a 29
        Elias:  for survival
        Elias:  if that matters
           DM:  Yep.  That keeps everyone fed for a day. 
      Taranis:  and even a lesser result will substantially reduce how much food we use up
           DM:  Which is enough time for you to get back to the river crossing, and...
           DM:  http://kingmaker.xthemage.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6#p29 happens 
         Ilya:  yay
           DM:  So, just so I can plan this properly, how do you plan to return to Oleg's?
         Trip:  without running into a bunch of undead.
      Taranis:  given how much we're dragging...
           DM:  Any way you do this, you need to cross the Thorn river, which you can do at the rickety bridge or at the ford further upriver. 
      Taranis:  directly on paths we already know
      Taranis:  with sleds, ford.
           DM:  From there, you can take the path through the forest you already know, or you can try to circle around the forest.
      Taranis:  I'd stick to known terrain myself
         Ilya:  yeah
           DM:  Ok… that'll be... 
           DM:  another two days to get up to the Ford.
           DM:  four more days through the forest. 
           DM:  aaand… another day and a half back to Oleg's.
           DM:  so let's have… 7 more survival checks, and we'll call it a night. 
      Taranis:  7x8=56 total foods needed

      Taranis:  ok
      Taranis:  so we need to expend 10 rations
           DM:  with Trip's assistance, Elias is able to feed the party for all except the second to last day in the forest. 
      Taranis:  we had 3 on wiki plus the one remaining food
      Taranis:  err 2 + 1
           DM:  mark off a total of 4 rations for that other day.
      Taranis:  ok
      Taranis:  no food on party loot, one less on me, done
      Taranis:  and we're all finished?
           DM:  We'll handle the details of that trip in two weeks.
