Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
Nellie, you realize these elves were probably a small offshoot of Sylvandar many years before the cataclysm; one that decided to form their own civilization elsewhere. Many did, and many of those civilizations remain nameless and undiscovered to this day. The cataclysm took them. Recall on material ...

Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
Okay, one more tidbit. With a bit of work you are able to decipher the books. There are three of them, and they are quite old, well before the cataclysm. The books are indeed magic, and each contains but a single spell on one page followed by a dense encyclopedic index which details how to “properly...

Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
Quick update: the next segment will be late, but it is coming (sorry, work stuff has been eating up a lot of my time unexpectedly). Here's a little to tide you over. Everyone has been healed, and has retrieved their equipment. Spot on the refuse pile reveals little of value. Though, the prisoners f...

Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
{That's okay, Brian.} Despite recovering consciousness, residual tremors shake Kaylan's body, and it's hard for him to walk. It is indeed as if something where trying to transform him, for the skin on his arm has started to blister. Several of the prisoners here suffer similarly. You manage to shat...

Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
That's the last of the 13. During the battle, Laurel fights like a berserker. You wonder at first if he'll be effective with so much rage. When the battle is over, however, you notice two Depraved strangled by his hands lying in one corner. He seems to have no remorse about killing them in such a pe...

Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
I just realized that Cicero didn't get a chance to act, yet (sorry). If you see this, Cicero, feel free to take combat rounds at your leisure, or you may always invent something else you were doing during combat, too, and catch up with us later. Everyone else, go ahead and continue with your second...

Sorry, small edit above. 13 grunts left.

Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
When the bell is stopped by Khorvalis, those prisoners with collars slowly start to recover, and the shield, which had been humming as if in unison, stops moving as well. Three of the Depraved grunts run to the fallen Bolg and remove the pickaxe embedded in his heart. To your horror, the massive blo...

Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
All 4 lieutenants are dead. Also, when the shield is removed from Kaylan's arm, he slowly starts to recover.

Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
We'll say that the monster (Travis/isho) killed a particularly nasty lieutenant. By my count, that's 2 lieutenants, 3 grunts, and Bolg that are down. The 2 sage buffs don't stack, but we'll say Khorvallis's will affect the PCs and Gondowon's will affect the prisoners for the next cycle of rounds. Af...

Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
There are 25 Depraved grunts, 4 Large Lieutenants, and also Bolg. Some of the prisoners fight alongside you, but they aren't that effective. Here’s how “forum combat” works. You may each fight up to three rounds (stop whenever you like if you want to hide). Describe your battles. If you take a “Woun...

Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
[Discussion and drunken shenanigans may continue as you travel] Eventually, someone breaks the hinges on the door with a pickaxe, and armed with tools, you lead the prisoners down the tunnel. “Taking elves, or whoever they can find, to act as slave labor is nothing new,” say Laurel on the way. “The...

Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
Wanted to post the next scene tonight, but got a little busy, and it's not quite ready yet. Just wanted to let you know I should post it tomorrow. Continue roleplaying introductions until then. And don't worry, Brian, if you can't post this weekend; I have a nice workaround should it be necessary f...

Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
As Sir Joriel exams both the chasm and the tunnel, they seem equally mysterious. Both extend for quite a ways into darkness, and it's hard to tell what lies ahead. Intuition (Recall) tells you either is better than here, but little more. "The tunnel then?," says Laurel. "What say you?...

Re: Captured! (Online Adventure)
Laurel replies to Khorvalis: "I have not been in this particular cave network before. When I was a prisoner last time, it was in a much different place. Much warmer. I have no idea how far they dragged me when I was unconscious, or how far underground we are. I have no clue where my wife is or ...
