20:36  * Violist is done learning that copying floppies is piracy
20:36 <@Violist> also, wo waren wir...
20:36 <@Violist> Elmngar is bouncing around... in? a building next to the church
20:37 <+Eschalt> last I remember was wandering around with V's mom
20:37 <@Violist> Tratos is... hanging out watching people try to forge a bird into a suit of armour
20:37 <+Eschalt> Adele?
20:37 <@Violist> y, Esch was wandering around with Adela... which leaves...
20:37 <@Violist> Orp, who was in hammerspace
20:37 <+Orp> I was in the tavern last I checked
20:38 <@Violist> yeah, hammerspace
20:38 <+Eschalt> ((Orp!  Hammerspace!))
20:38 <+Orp> ((ouch))
20:38 <@Violist> it's actually a portal to the plane of hammers
20:39 <@Violist> oh, Elmngar was outside the building, having left in the middle of the night and was watching for signs of activity
20:39 <+Elmngar> righto
20:42  * Violist prods people into action
20:42 <+Tratos> So..?
20:42 <+Orp> I'll figure out where I am in a bit
20:42 <@Violist> Tratos: so unless you do something else, time passes, people sweat, try to figure out wth to do with the dead bird, how to remove stuff, etc
20:43 <@Violist> and I forget exactly whether you were trying to buy a suit for you or a suit for a horse?
20:44 <+Tratos> Shit I don't even remember.
20:44 <+Tratos> The horse I believe.
20:44 <+Tratos> Yeah.
20:47 <+Tratos> *yawns*
20:47 <@Violist> mmk. A day and a half later, you get a bill for 800 gp, and you're looking at some warhorse barding (feathers optional). It appears pretty heavy but is actually fairly light. Stats on the way
20:49 <+Orp> Your horse can now shit lightning, congrats.
20:50 <+Tratos> Yes feathers. That's the point of making it from a Lightning Pheonix. XD
20:51 <+Orp> I suppose now we get to figure out why it was sent here?
20:51 <@Violist> If you want
20:52 <+Orp> ok
20:52 <+Orp> what else can we do? :)
20:53 <+Eschalt> biab
20:53 <+Orp> ?
20:53 <+Orp> oh. I guess "back in a bit" is valid english
20:54 <@Violist> a bit weird though :)
20:54 <@Violist> You could run around the town, you could go exploring outside of the town... dunno
20:55 <@Violist> What do people normally do in cities besides choke on pollution?
20:55 <+Tratos> Choke the chicken.
20:55 <+Tratos> Reproduce.
20:55 <@Violist> "choke the chicken"?
20:55 <+Tratos> Go on a rampage.. Oh wait htat's just me.
20:55 <+Tratos> ... Vio... if I have to explain that....
20:55 <+Orp> Violist: what kimmo does multiple times an hour
20:56 <@Violist> Tratos: it sounds like you're trying to molest a chicken
20:56 <+Tratos> Vio loses 1 [One] Internet if he's serious.
20:56 <+Orp> *ahem* "I go rimming!"
20:56 <@Violist> oh, I see
20:56 <+Tratos> ... You like licking a human's anus?
20:56 <@Violist> Nah, see, mine's more like a bull rather than a chicken
20:57 <+Tratos> Castrated?
20:57 <+Tratos> Horny?
20:57 <+Tratos> Got a ring shoved up it's nose?
20:57 <+Orp> With a sword through it's head?
20:57 <@Violist> Orp: I'm not in a Spanish country
20:57 <@Violist> well, yet
20:57 <+Tratos> *chuckles*
20:59 <+Orp> hmm
20:59 <+Elmngar> I'm guessing people are going into the building now?
20:59 <@Violist> They will be pretty soon.
20:59 <+Orp> I suppose Orp will go wandering aroud outside the city (what's the name?) limits
20:59 <+Elmngar> Might as well come back in the evening
21:00 <@Violist> Elmngar-time is pretty early in the morning but people are definitely getting ready to greet the new day with varying degrees of enthusiasm
21:01 <@Violist> Orp: you are now wandering in the fields outside Rordan... make a Perception check?
21:01 <+Orp> 1d20+11
21:01  * Orp casts Raise Dead on rollerbot
21:01 <@Violist> Oh hey, rollerbot died.
21:01 <@Violist> wow, my d20 here is so unlucky
21:02 <@Violist> 5-2-3-2-7-2
21:02 <+Orp> got a 27
21:02 <+Eschalt> sorry, onna phone
21:02 -!- rollerbot [n=rollerbo@76-10-188-97.dsl.teksavvy.com] has joined #nethack-ot-dnd
21:02 <@Violist> How far are you wandering, perchance?
21:03 <+Orp> hmm. Typical stroll distance?
21:04 <@Violist> Just as you're getting ready to start turning back, you notice a fairly large group of horseback riders approaching at a slow pace. They're really far off, and given your height, probably haven't seen you.
21:05 <@Violist> You also notice that most have javelins tied to their saddles.
21:05 <+Tratos> Sounds like my kinda people. ;3
21:05 <+Orp> at the apparent pace they're going at, will I be able to get back before they overtake me?
21:06 <@Violist> If you start jogging you'll probably be able to keep ahead of them.
21:06 <+Orp> I assume it's an open road?
21:06 <@Violist> They're actually not on a road
21:06 <+Orp> oh
21:07 <+Orp> this is in a prairie or something?
21:07 <+Tratos> Featureless plain. ;3
21:07 <@Violist> The environment is, yes, although around here there's a lot of cultivated fields. People gotta eat.
21:07 <@Violist> And it's a featureless plain until you fall into a pothole :P
21:07 <+Orp> ok, I'll jog along the side of one of the fields, if possible. Corn, I presume?
21:08 <@Violist> Nah, mostly wheats. barley, for instance.
21:09 <+Orp> tall enough for a 3' dude to hide in? :)
21:09 <@Violist> If you lie down, yep :)
21:09 <+Orp> I guess wheat isn't all that thick. Oh well
21:09 <+Orp> I'll head back to town at a jogging pace
21:10 <@Violist> trot trot
21:10 <+Orp> glancing back as I go
21:11 <+Tratos> Don't you maen "Plothole"?
21:11 <@Violist> You're keeping pretty well ahead of them, but as they get closer to the city they suddenly spur their horses and head in a general southerly direction
21:11 <@Violist> Tratos: them too
21:11  * Elmngar heads back to the inn for the time being, while "casually" checking for the pair's tracks at the temple area along the way :p
21:12 <@Violist> Elmngar: survival check?
21:12 <+Elmngar> 1d20+12
21:12 < rollerbot> Elmngar: [1d20(3)+12= 15]
21:13 <+Elmngar> I hate you rollerbot
21:13 <@Violist> Wisdom check?
21:13 <+Elmngar> 1d20+2
21:13 < rollerbot> Elmngar: [1d20(7)+2= 9]
21:13 <+Elmngar> I hate you soooo much
21:13  * Violist snickers
21:13 <+Orp> I'll go up to a guard at the city gate and say: "Hai! Iz bunch of peoplez on horsies with pokey sticks normal around dis place?"
21:14 <@Violist> You don't see any other tracks.
21:14 <@Violist> Orp: "Err... ah! Maybe? Were they all shiny?"
21:15 <+Orp> "Big group! Too far away to see shininess"
21:15 <@Violist> The guard shrugs. "Big pokey sticks?"
21:17 <+Orp> "jav-jav-javiolins?"
21:17 <+Orp> "Javelins!"
21:17 <+Tratos> [1d100]
21:17 < rollerbot> Tratos: [[1d100(43)= 43]]
21:17 <@Violist> <Guard> "That's not normal. How many, how far away...?"
21:17 <+Orp> (numbers please?)
21:17 <@Violist> (a few dozen)
21:17 <+Orp> a mile out?
21:18 <@Violist> They looked like they were moving about a mile, mile and a half out
21:19  * Tratos would ride up behind the guards, his horse covered in his new lightning-themed feathery armor. "Big pokey sticks you say? Sounds like my kind of people."
21:19 <+Orp> "Uhhh a few dozenish? Orp tink about a mile oot!"
21:19 <+Orp> (Tratos responded to the Tratos-Symbol I see :p)
21:19 <+Tratos> [Yep!]
21:20  * Orp looks at the horse and says "Shiiiiney"
21:20 <+Tratos> "Hey Orp, I think there might be enough material left to make you some armor... It's light."
21:20 <@Violist> <Guard> "Hmm, that's not good. Hey, you have a horse. Fast?"
21:21 <+Orp> "Orp like dis one. Orp's clan leader give it to Orp!"
21:21 <+Tratos> "Not as fast as my wolves, but yes. Why?"
21:21 <@Violist> <Guard> "Someone should see what they want. Were they just coming to the city?"
21:22 <+Orp> "Yis! Den dey turn around all fast like and gallop away!"
21:23 <@Violist> (( In the likely event that I was not entirely clear, they were doing a big arc around the city ))
21:23 <+Orp> as in scouting it out?
21:23 <+Tratos> Sounds like it to me.
21:23 <+Tratos> "Orp? On."
21:23 <@Violist> Quite possibly.
21:23  * Tratos would hold his hand out to help, although with Jumpy man, he probably doesn't need to.
21:24 <@Violist> Elmngar: so unless you plan on doing something during the day, evening/night rolls around :)
21:25  * Elmngar dodges out of the way
21:25  * Elmngar wipes sweat off of his brow "that was a close one"
21:25 <@Violist> A citizen fails the reflex save and is tramped.
21:25 <@Violist> *trampled
21:25  * Elmngar mourns for another victim of night squishing
21:26  * Elmngar heads back to the temple under the cover of darkness
21:26  * Orp hops on
21:26  * Elmngar leaves another note with the innkeeper as well "Be back in the morningish."
21:26  * Tratos would begin to set out the way Orp came from. "Lead the way."
21:27  * Orp points which way he was walking
21:27 <+Orp> and which way they went
21:28 <+Orp> ((btw, can I have snagged Morose's /oVigor?))
21:28 <@Violist> (( uh sure, as a substitute healbot ))
21:29 <+Orp> Yea, if the need arises
21:29 <+Orp> ((tratos, you don't know this :p)
21:29 <+Orp> IC anyways
21:29 <+Tratos> [That's fine. ;3 Tratos doesn't care about death. Never has. ;3]
21:30 <@Violist> Elmngar: it looks much like yesterday, although there's more people staying up a bit late in the dorms. As you look into the compound you note someone carrying a spear walking around the building you were infiltrating last night.
21:30  * Elmngar raises an eyebrow
21:30  * Tratos would ride off quickly in the direction orp pointed, as fast as he can spur the horse to go!
21:31 <+Elmngar> what does he/she look like?
21:31 <+Orp> [[why is he trying to infiltrate?]]
21:31 <+Tratos> [Secret organization]
21:31 <@Violist> Elmngar: Hard to say. Wearing a priestly robe but it's not very loose; probably wearing a heavy vest over it.
21:31 <@Violist> It's hooded, as well.
21:32 <+Orp> ((I should've gone with elmngar! Sneaky sneaky))
21:32 <+Elmngar> patrolling, basically?
21:32 <@Violist> Elmngar: exactly.
21:32 <+Orp> just remember that Orp does care about dying, and today really isn't his day, so...don't get us killed kthx
21:33 <@Violist> Orp and Tratos: As you go galloping along, you see a group of horsemen off in the distance heading south-east towards the trade road between Rordan and Cairbre
21:33 <@Violist> Perception checks for when you notice this?
21:33 <+Orp> 1d20+11
21:33 < rollerbot> Orp: [1d20(20)+11= 31]
21:33 <+Tratos> [1d20+6]
21:33 < rollerbot> Tratos: [[1d20(1)+6= 7]]
21:33 <+Tratos> Never.
21:33  * Elmngar observes the person's patrol path from a safe distance
21:33 <+Tratos> When I am in betwen them.
21:33 <@Violist> So uh, Orp sees them from behind the city walls...
21:33 <+Orp> hehe
21:33 <@Violist> nah, you're a good distance away.
21:34 <@Violist> unless you think it'd be funny to watch Tratos ride up into the middle of them and not notice :)
21:34  * Orp points them out, and says "Trail dem from a far!"
21:34 <@Violist> (because that would be funny)
21:34 <+Elmngar> ((fascinating approach: invading force? ride out and ask nicely what they want))
21:34 <+Tratos> [Even more fascinating approach...]
21:35 <+Orp> What level was the Vigor spell? Lesser? normal? Greater?
21:35 <@Violist> Elmngar: the guard appears to be making a loop every few minutes, although after one loop he/she/it stops behind the building for about 8 minutes
21:35 <@Violist> Orp: Lesser Vigor is level 1
21:35 <+Orp> ok, so the wand was lesser? Gotcha.
21:35 <@Violist> Almost certainly. Vigor is like 3rd level and thus pricey
21:36 <+Elmngar> So one loop, stop, another loop, stop, etc?
21:36 <@Violist> Elmngar: it was just the one loop
21:36 <+Orp> true
21:36 <@Violist> the others are only 2 to 3 minutes per loop
21:36 <+Tratos> "Orp, keep an eye out. If they attack... jump as high as you can, glide over, and drop one of those bombs in the center of them. I'll handle the rest. Otherwise... hope they are friendly."
21:36 <+Eschalt> /lesser vigor/ lasts 11 rounds minimum
21:36 <@Violist> Orp, Tratos: the horsemen appear to be moving at a jogging pace (for horses)
21:36 <+Elmngar> do I have some point from which I can see what's behind the building without getting too close?
21:36 <+Orp> You do realize there are more than 36 of them
21:36 <+Tratos> Full speed ahead.
21:36 <+Tratos> Yes. XD
21:36 <+Orp> "No, we trail or Orp hops off."
21:37 <+Tratos> "That's your choice." Full speed ahead. :p
21:37 <+Elmngar> ((Orp crazy, but not barbarian crazy?))
21:37 <+Orp> Orp hops off
21:37 <@Violist> OK, so Tratos is riding up all-out towards the other people...
21:38 <+Tratos> WITHOUT his axe out.
21:38 <+Tratos> whispering something
21:38 <@Violist> I doubt they'll hear that
21:38 <@Violist> Elmngar: Yep, you can do that if you follow the wall. You'll even be able to stay in shadows that way.
21:38 <+Elmngar> I'll do that.
21:38  * Elmngar sneakily sneaks along like a sneak
21:39 <@Violist> Elmngar: the guard keeps making loops... how long do you want to watch?
21:39 <+Elmngar> there's nothing of interest behind the building?
21:39 <+Elmngar> an outhouse perhaps?
21:39 <@Violist> trees, bushes
21:39 <@Violist> Nothing interesting, and you've seen it before
21:39 <@Violist> Tratos: so how close are you going to try to get?
21:40  * Orp climbs a tree
21:40 <+Orp> 1d20+7 climb
21:40 < rollerbot> Orp: [1d20(18)+7= 25] climb
21:40 <+Elmngar> hmm, and the guard person stopped behind there for 8ish minutes huh
21:40 <+Tratos> In the middle if they don't attack.. otherwise, as close as I can to whoever seems to be the leader.
21:41 <+Orp> let's see, challenge to a duel, and try to take over the motley crew of horseback riders? :p
21:41 <@Violist> When they notice you the pack turns a bit and starts heading towards you.
21:42 <+Tratos> Hey that's a good idea!
21:42  * Tratos would put on his biggest smile, and keep going to where he thinks the leader is. "Hail."
21:43 <@Violist> They pull out javelins, swords... a few even have polearms and bolases. They slow down before trying to surround you, although nobody's actively throwing anything.
21:43 <+Tratos> Then I don't bother pulling out my axe yet.
21:43 <+Tratos> [1d20+6] [Perception... what do I notice about them. Uniforms, anything.]
21:43 < rollerbot> Tratos: [[1d20(10)+6= 16]] [Perception... what do I notice about them. Uniforms, anything.]
21:44 <@Violist> Wisdom check?
21:44 <@Violist> No particular uniforms, and most look to be unarmored.
21:44 <+Tratos> [1d20-1]
21:44 < rollerbot> Tratos: [[1d20(2)-1= 1]]
21:44 <@Violist> Truly you are a Zen master
21:44 <+Tratos> [Lolno.]
21:45 <+Elmngar> ((Wisdom result: This seems like an EXCELLENT idea!))
21:45 <@Violist> Elmngar: yeah. Any ideas on how long you'll keep watching?
21:45 <+Tratos> "So. Talk."
21:46 <@Violist> <Short guy on horse> "You should talk first."
21:46 <+Elmngar> How much of a risk is there of me being spotted?
21:46 <@Violist> <SGOH> "How many of you are there?"
21:46 <+Tratos> "My friend, in all the world I'd be quite surprised to find one other like myself."
21:46 <@Violist> Elmngar: not very much if you stay where you are. Decorative bushes make excellent hiding places in the night.
21:47 <+Tratos> "But that is not what you asked, is it?"
21:47 <+Elmngar> I'll watch for half an hour then.
21:47 <@Violist> Elmngar: just as you're getting ready to leave, the guard heads behind the building (where you can see), rolls up something in a piece of paper, sets fire to it, and sticks it in his/her/its mouth
21:48 <+Orp> hashish!
21:48 <@Violist> <tall woman on horse> "Where is your army, orc?"
21:48  * Elmngar thinks "This must be a signal to others... or he could be burning evidence!"
21:48  * Elmngar doesn't actually think that
21:48 <@Violist> <TWOH> "Are they afraid of open war?"
21:49 <+Elmngar> The tree where I climbed up from was in the back as well, right?
21:49 <+Tratos> "First of all, ma'am, I'm fairly sure this town's army doesn't know you exist. Second of all, I am my own army. I am not with them... I am a mercenary. My own army... is a ways off. But if you are asking if I am afraid to fight.... Perhaps a wager would be in order instead."
21:51 <@Violist> <SGOH> "So you are alone."
21:51 <@Violist> <TWOH> "Wager? You think this is a sport?
21:51 <@Violist> "
21:51 <+Tratos> "I don't believe I'm alone no."
21:52 <+Tratos> "I said I am my own army. But I can't tell you I am alone, for it may not be true."
21:53 <@Violist> Short Guy On Horse points with his glaive at one of the riders outside the circle a little bit, who draws a knife, gently slices his arm while screeching something, and then looks around.
21:53 <@Violist> He shrugs at SGOH, who looks back at Tratos. "You are alone, and you know it. And we know it."
21:54 <+Tratos> "As far as I know, I am alone. But for all I know... there could be four dire wolves, a sorcerer of the Flame and Thunder, a devestating Cleric, a scout who can put an arrow through a Gnome's dick from a mile out, a Kobold of Dragon Blood... Not to mention my new alchemist, my Woodsmen, and my riders. Anywhere from zero to twenty....ish. I lose track."
21:54 <+Tratos> "To be honest though, I believe I am alone. I merely do not lie."
21:54 <+Tratos> "Oh, unless you count my horse of course."
21:55 <+Tratos> "Oh! And the town's guards. I don't know if I was followed. I left like any other normal person so I doubt they'd have reason to."
21:56 <@Violist> <TWOH> "So why the hell are you here? Just to beg for mercy?"
21:56  * Tratos would grin, baring his fangs. "Why would I want to do that?"
21:56 <+Tratos> "I don't know who you are, or why you are here. Is there a reason I should beg for mercy?"
21:57 <@Violist> "To stop us from slaughtering you and whoever you represent. Or to offer us tribute."
21:58 <+Tratos> "Interesting theory. Tell me. Which of you is the leader of this small band of yours?"
21:59 <@Violist> <SGOH> "Whoever convenient."
21:59 <+Tratos> "Who of you is your strongest warrior?"
22:00 <@Violist> Short Guy on Horse shrugs, "I've won the most fights."
22:00 <+Tratos> "Do you know who I am?"
22:00 <@Violist> "An orc with a death wish. What else do we care about right now?"
22:01  * Tratos would grin. "I am Tratos. And I have a... propossition for you."
22:02 <@Violist> "I'm sorry, you should tell me why we should bargain?"
22:04  * Tratos would shrug. "No reason. This bargain is only between myself and yourself. A wager.... a sparring match. If I defeat you in one on one combat, mounted or otherwise, you become my vassal... and your people do as they  please, follow you or not. I don't care. But if you win... You just earned yourself a strong orc. One who killed the Lightning Phoenix and now wears it's metalic feathers on his horse. One who leads the Twelve
22:05 <@Violist> (( you got cut off at Twelve ))
22:05  * Tratos would merely take off his gloves to reveal his claws. "Not to mention a chosen warrior of Jennewhet."
22:05 <+Tratos>  Winds... once he frees them of course. And one who has the ear of the archcleric.
22:05 <+Elmngar> ((More titles than a british monarch))
22:06 <+Tratos> [That's just the first few.]
22:06 <+Tratos> [He has several dozen more. XD You should have heard him before he sparred with one of the army's generals..]
22:06 <@Violist> Tall Woman on Horse starts picking at her fingernails about halfway through.
22:07 <+Tratos> "See that's why I cut them short. My people... cares too much about titles. Personally, I'd preffer if you merely agreed to try and put this orc in his place in front of your men... instead of backing  down as if you were a small child. I'm sure you are very strong and I'd love nothing more then to test that strength."
22:09 <@Violist> <SGOH> "You amuse me... Care to dismount, and we shall see test our strength?"
22:09 <@Violist> Perception check?
22:10 <+Tratos> [1d20+6]
22:10 < rollerbot> Tratos: [[1d20(7)+6= 13]]
22:10  * Tratos dismounts, and draws his axe!
22:11 <@Violist> He jumps down, walks about 20 feet away, and waits while the others move horses out of the way, make clear space, etc.
22:11 <+Tratos> "Unless you wished for something unarmed?
22:11 <@Violist> "Why would I weaken myself so pointlessly? Hurry this up, we need to be going soon, lest we miss our afternoon tea."
22:11 <@Violist> Initiative!
22:12 <+Tratos> [1d20+2]
22:12 < rollerbot> Tratos: [[1d20(1)+2= 3]]
22:12 <+Orp> the die are not with you
22:13 <+Orp> you should sacrifice more
22:13 <+Orp> goats
22:13 <@Violist> if it's any consolation
22:13 <@Violist> He rolled a 4 :P
22:13 <+Elmngar> ((cattle))
22:13 <+Tratos> [Lol]
22:14 <@Violist> Short Guy screams and runs up towards Tratos, swinging his glaive...
22:14 <@Violist> He connects for 11 damage, and you get pushed back 5' ;)
22:15 <@Violist> Your turn... you're at 15' distance
22:15 <+Elmngar> ((So much screaming, why the screaming? Whatever happened to gallant combat, "En garde", "Naturally you must suspect me to attack with capa ferro", etc))
22:15 <+Tratos> Raging Overhand Chop! Yes, rush forwards... yes I know, attack of opportunity.
22:16 <+Tratos> [It died when people realized they sounded like a fop]
22:16 <@Violist> Another 11 damage...
22:16 <+Tratos> "Is that the best you've got? I barely even felt it!" ... "Or that."
22:17 <+Tratos> [1d20+15]
22:17 < rollerbot> Tratos: [[1d20(3)+15= 18]]
22:17 <@Violist> hit
22:17 <+Tratos> [Lowest I've ever rolled for attack. o.0]
22:18 <+Tratos> [1d12+20] [1d6]
22:18 < rollerbot> Tratos: [[1d12(4)+20= 24]] [[1d6(5)= 5]]
22:18  * Orp makes some popcorn
22:18 <@Violist> "You'll need to try harder than that..."
22:19 <+Tratos> [So 29.]
22:19 <@Violist> He steps back and continues to lay into Tratos...
22:19 <+Tratos> "Aww... I missed. Don't worry I'll get a solid hit next time."
22:19 <@Violist> ooh, crit threat.
22:19 <@Violist> Rolling to confirm, 1d20+10
22:19 < rollerbot> Violist: Rolling to confirm, [1d20(18)+10= 28]
22:19 <@Violist> annotated logs are available if you wish to question, btw
22:19 <+Tratos> [I think I just got critted. XD]
22:20 <+Tratos> [Hm?]
22:20 <@Violist> so that's
22:20 <@Violist> 24 damage from the first hit, and 36 from the crit
22:20 <+Tratos> So... 60 damage.
22:20 <@Violist> (( I roll in a private channel with rollerbot, but the logs are available in case people are suspicious about fudging, etc. Just want to establish transparency ))
22:21 <@Violist> Your turn...
22:21 <+Tratos> Hold on let me add up my hp.
22:21 <+Elmngar> ((Didn't he need to move away from Tratos to attack, provoking and such?))
22:22 <@Violist> 5' step doesn't provoke
22:22 <+Tratos> Well he's only 5' away from me now right?
22:22 <@Violist> 10'
22:22 <+Tratos> I mean I can take a 5' and reach him.
22:22 <@Violist> You moved to 5, he stepped back 5' so he could actually attack
22:22 <@Violist> yes
22:22 <+Tratos> Gotcha.
22:22 <+Tratos> 5' and Overhand Chop!
22:22 <+Tratos> [1d20+15]
22:22 < rollerbot> Tratos: [[1d20(7)+15= 22]]
22:23 <+Tratos> [1d12+20] + [1d6]
22:23 < rollerbot> Tratos: [[1d12(2)+20= 22]] + [[1d6(1)= 1]]
22:23 <+Tratos> "Give up?"
22:23 <@Violist> He looks reasonably impressed that you're still standing, but that's hard to tell once his eyes start burning in fury.
22:24 <@Violist> He jumps back and roars while trying again to slash at the filthy orc.
22:24 <+Elmngar> ((He resembles that remark))
22:24 <+Orp> ((I saw what u did thar))
22:24 <@Violist> That's 21 damage from the first glaive slash and 10 from the second.
22:25 <+Tratos> Welp.
22:25 <+Tratos> Tratos is as -28 hp.
22:25 <+Tratos> *at
22:25 <@Violist> well, that's gotta suck :(
22:26 <+Tratos> *Shrugs* These things happen. and I miss-read... -27
22:26 <+Tratos> Want me to re-roll Vio or am I out?
22:26 <@Violist> can re-roll or try to convince people to rez, either way works for me
22:27 <+Tratos> I thought half outsiders couldn't be rezed?
22:27 <@Violist> Outsider (Native) can
22:27 <+Tratos> Aaah.
22:27 <@Violist> Anyways
22:27 <+Tratos> Well unless someone volunteers to rez, I'll start rolling. :p
22:28 <+Tratos> Shame to lose that equipment though. :( Oh well.
22:28 <@Violist> The camera fades back as the short guy sits down heavily, before being picked up and put back on his horse. They continue to ride off in the distance after one of his people starts casting spells on him.
22:28 <@Violist> Orp, you're hiding in a tree, watching this group of raiders gallop off towards the road...
22:28 <+Orp> Towards me?
22:29 <@Violist> nope, away from you
22:29 <+Orp> ok, when they are gone I'll run up to tratos
22:29 <+Orp> frick
22:29 <+Orp> how am I supposed to move a giant orc
22:31 <+Orp> oh, /oGrease
22:31 <+Eschalt> ((what do you do with a greasy stick?  Or do I not want to ask?)
22:31 <+Orp> Ok, I'll check his vital signs, then look all sad for a bit
22:32 <@Violist> There's a vital sign over there, and over there, and over there...
22:32 <+Orp> Is there any grass aroud here? enough to hide a body
22:32 <+Orp> or was he gibbed
22:32 <@Violist> Tratos: any preference?
22:33 <+Tratos> I'll roll up anyways, then if someone volunteers icly then they volunteer icly. :p
22:33 <+Elmngar> I think we have enough money for a raise dead
22:33 <@Violist> I meant on what happened as far as the death went
22:33 <@Violist> gibbed, etc
22:33 <+Tratos> Just don't harm the equipment?
22:34 <@Violist> lol
22:34 <+Eschalt> (hey!  I can be raised, cool shit is hard to get back)
22:35 <+Elmngar> The question is, do we actually want to do it?
22:35 <+Orp> will he have learned from his experience? :p
22:35 <+Tratos> PRETTY sure Morose and Eschalt would...
22:35 <@Violist> Morose probably would
22:35 <+Tratos> Dunno on Orp, could go either way.
22:36 <@Violist> Although Morose would also then impose a Quest, probably :P
22:36 <+Tratos> And I don't know elmngar too well, they had a fight but "They are cool now"
22:36  * Orp greases up the body and puts him in the grass
22:36  * Violist tries not to think about that too hard
22:36 <+Orp> I figure I'd be able to pull it if he's greasy
22:36 <+Orp> PULL TRATOS
22:36 <+Orp> Is the horsey there?
22:36 <+Elmngar> isn't the horse still there?
22:37 <@Violist> the raiders took the horse
22:37 <@Violist> Hey, free horse, they're not the easiest things in the world to come by.
22:37 <+Orp> this is true
22:37 <+Elmngar> free WARHORSE
22:37 <+Elmngar> with free barding.
22:37 <+Elmngar> (bonus GET)
22:37 <+Orp> Ok, then I kinda sullenly make my way back to Rarcity
22:37 <+Elmngar> Elmngar would pitch in a share for a raise dead, provided others are willing
22:38 <+Elmngar> (as soon as he gets back)
22:38 <+Elmngar> (if he gets back)
22:38 <+Orp> Purely from a selfish state of mind
22:38 <+Elmngar> Oh of course, I expect nothing less in return.
22:38 <+Orp> his body is intact I guess. Which means his gear isn't in pieces.
22:38 <+Orp> I'm sure we can find something that'll pay for a rez
22:39 <+Elmngar> Well we need someone to cast the spell, and to buy the actual components
22:39 <+Orp> yes. Sell something, pay for it. 
22:39 <+Tratos> If you did you do realize Tratos would kill you right?
22:39 <+Tratos> :p
22:39 <+Elmngar> I don't know about others, but we got a fair amount of gold after coming back to the city
22:40 <+Orp> If Orp's better judgement hadn't kicked in, I'd be dead too
22:40 <+Tratos> He wouldn't care about the gold, I mean the gear. ;3
22:40 <+Elmngar> We can of course tally the gold that Tratos had, and then see what we can do to make up the difference
22:41 <+Elmngar> I'm sure his body won't mind a few missing pieces of gold. Er, all of them, that is.
22:41 <+Elmngar> A small price to pay.. etc, etc
22:42 <+Orp> anyways, I make my way back to town.
22:42 -!- Tratos is now known as Axe
22:42 -!- Axe is now known as Tratos
22:42 <+Tratos> Gah
22:42 <+Tratos> Damned nick/ing
22:43 -!- Tratos is now known as Theaxe
22:43 <+Theaxe> Finally!
22:43  * Theaxe would begin to hum, and if orp doesn't turn around it would fly over and tap him on the shoulder. Gently. "Evening... I'd like a word with you before you run off."
22:44 <+Elmngar> ((Teehee, tapping shoulders with axes))
22:45 <+Orp> I'm long gone by now I'd think
22:45 <@Violist> (( just out of curiosity, intelligent-item wise, do those things actually have senses? ))
22:45 <@Violist> (( because that's bound ot be a fun tap otherwise :) ))
22:46 <@Violist> Orp: well, there's an axe flying around back there... feel like sticking around or booking it?
22:46 <+Theaxe> [Some do.]
22:47 <+Orp> Orp is a simple man. Err Kobold. As a simple kobold, ghosts probably scare him. Booked it. 
22:48  * Orp gets to the guards and says the following
22:49 <+Orp> "Oh...hai. Uhhh. Doze guys no good. Dey want war. Mr. Orc found dat out da hard way...uhhhh...You can get him, yis? Me kobold no can carry body."
22:49 <+Orp> "He woulda want prahper buryall."
22:49 <@Violist> <Guards> "Uh, we'll put that on our to-do list."
22:50 <@Violist> <Guards> "Apparently there's a bigger threat out there, though. Where were they going? Did you figure out what they wanted, or did they just... kill him?"
22:50 <@Violist> (( by the way, I'm going to need to bounce sometime in the next 10-40 minutes ))
22:51 <+Orp> me tooish
22:51 <+Orp> <tells where abouts they went>
22:51 <+Orp> "Big Orc is in da grass, kinda hidden. Battle site should be easy to finded!"
22:52 <+Orp> "He brought his horse into the midduhl of dem and tried talking. I said I wouldn't go in der so Orp hopped off horsie and watched from afar."
22:52 <@Violist> (( ok, just got the Phone Call summoning me away ))
22:53 <+Orp> "Dey surround him and after talkink, he and short stubby guy wit big stick-sword fought. Short stubby dude wit big stick-sword won. Lotsa shouting."
22:54 -!- You're now known as Cheapy
22:54 <@Violist> <Guards> "That sounds awful." They sound genuinely sad to hear it, but then... "You said they were riding off to the south? Probably trade road. Well, that's going to suck. You want to run and get help? Check with the temple, and get the militia?"
22:54  * Violist hits the save-state button
22:55 <+Cheapy> (("Tomorrow, we go to WARRRRR!"))
22:58 <@Violist> And a general annoucement
22:58 <@Violist> I'm going to be basically gone until monday night
22:58 <@Violist> so e-mail contact will be the best way to do anything
22:58 <+Cheapy> where ya going?
22:58 <@Violist> math competition
22:58 <+Cheapy> oh fu
22:59 <+Cheapy> fun

22:59 -!- mode/#nethack-ot-dnd [-vvvv Cheapy Elmngar Eschalt Theaxe] by Violist
23:00 <@Violist> well, thanks for coming... also in general don't hesitate to call on me if you feel like you're being ignored >.>
23:00 <@Violist> with respect and apologies to Eschalt in particular about that
