In reply to Warwick (msg # 945):

Morteft says, *What is their motivation? Why are they in league with some water creature? Maybe we should just go after it instead wasting time on these two? I could cast a mordenkenian's mansion and we could just hole up for an evening and step back out.*

OOC: I have lost the thread of the story we are walking through. Morteft wouldn't, but since this has been going on for 3 months real time and I have had some big distractions during that time, I am not even sure why the assassins are working with the creature. Can anyone point me to a thread that explains it?

In reply to Morteft (msg # 946):

The assassins were sent her to resurrect the sea monster.  This land is to be subjecgated or destroyed as Set has done in many other places.  Your team was shanghaied to stop the assassins and the sea monster.  You were directed to the village to learn more about your enemy and save the people there.  Now you face the three minnions of Set.  Two assassins and the sea monster.  you attempted a scouting foray into the sea monster lair.  Met a wall of water and some scary large fish with riders.  Water goblins.  That is the short version.  If you want, I can cut the stuff that has not happened yet out of the file and send you the whol sroty line.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 947):

OOC: Thanks, that helps! I would love to see the story after we are through it.

*Maybe we should seal them into whatever building they are in and then just hunt them down. Do we know what building they are in currently? Also, they can wraithform at will. What other powers have we observed? Poisoned limitless daggers is one. They seem to be able to appear, attack and disappear before we can react. What else?*

In reply to Morteft (msg # 948):

OOC: Is the entire group together? I think so, so Morteft would say the last bit out loud since Tzar is there.

"What about the mansion? We could plan in private." Morteft adds.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 948):

*There's a large hole here from where the water Elemental came from. Ez'ard, can you send a fireball into my room? I'm holding Sizzle, so just make sure you're out of blast range.*

In reply to Trysk (msg # 950):

Ez’ard looks to Warwick then shrugs and sends a fireball from his wand as requested.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 951):

Morteft will do the same for good measure.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 952):

*Morteft if we use the Mansion, when we exit, could the assassins be waiting for us with all their troll buddies?  I don't want to make it easy for them.* replies Warwick.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 953):

*It is possible.*

In reply to Morteft (msg # 954):

*Good enough for me, then.  Let's do it.  Create the mansion and we'll go there to recover and plan.*

In reply to Warwick (msg # 955):

Morteft casts Mordenainen's Magnificient Mansion. *Trysk, come on and let's camp out to make a new plan.*

In reply to Morteft (msg # 956):

"Tzar, lad, get over here to us, please.  Time to make a strategic retreat and rest up."

*Ez'ard, Trysk, we'll let the Earth Elemental do whatever damage it can before it breaks up.*

In reply to Morteft (msg # 952):

Ezard cannot see the room that Trysk has entered trhough the doorway.  He moves into position before the new holes in the wall.  He can see Trysk standing in a room full of tables and chairs.  Morteft moves so he can also see into the space.  Ez’ard raises his wand.  The door before Trysk slams shut.  Both fireballs go off in in the combined space of the room.  Flames shoot out the holes in the wall and envelope the upper body of the earth elemental.  As the light of the blast disappates, smoke pours from the openings.  Furniture is blazing within the room.  The water elemental is much smaller now.  The earth elemental is also looking bad.  Trysk stands unharmed in the room but he is hard to see through the smoke.  The door to the privy is charred but still standing.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 958):

Morteft flies back and casts the mansion spell.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 957):

Please specify the order that you enter the mansion.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 960):

Morteft will go last.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 961):

He will also back in so he can attack whoever tries to attack him.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 958):

OOC - Wasn't the earth Elemental basing the building from the outside?

BIC - *Bastard shut the door just before the fireballs. Big assassin in here but on ethereal plane. Better get in here quick, especially since I can't Teleport out!*

In reply to Trysk (msg # 963):

*So, fly out!*

In reply to Warwick (msg # 964):

OOC: It depends on how Larry plays wraithform or whatever it is that allows them to go ethereal. If they can move through walls, then I am not sure why it matters. He won't be there if we come, so yeah, Trysk should just leave. You don't have him trapped. I am also not sure why closing the door would matter.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 957):

Tzar will head over to Warwick.

--Ron, Tzar

In reply to Trysk (msg # 963):

OOC:  Sigh.  Yes the earth elemental is outside, but he has crushed three large blocks from the side of the building that make a large hole.  That is how the fireballs got inside.  Fire blossomed out of the hole and the elemental did not see the attack coming.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 965):

OOC:  I will clarify for the sake of moving forward.  Only Shadow has been seen on the ethereal plane.  Coos has only been seen on the material plane.  Tzar did not see Shadow take on wraithform.  He saw his act like a phase spider.

Ez’ard will head towards Morteft keeping his eyes open for any attack. He will hold by Morteft to see if Trysk is coming out or not.


OOC: Thread count is creeping towards max… will need Ron to start a new one soon.
