The injured dog zed swings clumsily, missing Danos and remaining unradied.

He steps to a better angle and swings again ... connecting solidly this time.




[Private to GM:  14:12, Today: Syvanus rolled 4 using 3d6.  Broadsword swing. A Crit !!

In reply to Syvanus (msg # 780):

Syvanus  cuts down the last of the dog men. They have only crude and rusted piecemeal armor and weapons.

"They will not be the end of it. Can we find somewhere to rest up now we have Groms favour again?"

"I seem to remember us passing a room with a closable door..."

In reply to Stringfellow Hill (msg # 783):

"How quickly can you lead us there?"

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 784):

The only closeable doors you found here were the secret doors leading tto the Lich's chamber, and that chamber itself. The ossuary did not have a door.

Closing ourselves in a room may become our final resting place... we need something to move these men away, or to allow us to exit elsewhere.

"Can we use the dogmen bodies to bait the worm towards the enemy?"

Perhaps, then close the gate behind it so we are safe from it...

In reply to Syvanus (msg # 788):

"With sufficient time and rest, now we have Groms favour, I can create another entrance."

[Private to GM: What would be required to undo the unsanctity of this place?]

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 789):

If every stone was turned up and torn appart, every seal sundered and the good earth beneath brought through yo cover it all, then it is certain that it will be made whole... what small steps taken along that path may cause some improvement remains to be seen.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 790):

Hmmm, it seems that to improve the sanctity of this place he needs to learn the Volcano or Earthquake spell...I would consider asking Grom for the former but he does not have the fp to cast it, having expended all his items on the lich. Then we would still need an escape...what about him resting a bit then tunneling upwards to create a different exit?

Kirpich is thinking/musing aloud at this point, so others feel free to jump in...

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 791):

Exiting through another location is going to give you an advantage when confronting Kalvo and company.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 792):

There should also be a method for erading the adamantine seals...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 793):

I think at this point in the absence of other ideas Kirpich will be wanting a place to rest up, before creating a new entrance with primarily shape earth, and some earth to stone for stability. What rolls should he make for that?

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 794):

An IQ-5 for stability of a rapid opening; taking time and trying to reinforce can help with that.


Throw me a thaumatology roll, or IQ-6 plus investiture

In reply to Narrator (msg # 795):

Kirpich takes his time to make sure the opening is stable enough for all of them.

[Private to GM: IQ-7 for stability, IQ-6 for Theumatology, PI = 6, both unmodified, so made both!]

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 796):

1) you can make a stable exit
2) you can also use shape stone on the seals to deface them

3) you have not yet done either.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 797):

Leaving the seals intact to deter those behind us, and focussing on making a stable exit.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 798):

To clarify, the seals did two things:
1) alert the lich of the rod of the builder when it passed them
2) lower the sanctity and increase deathliness.

As your enemies have a necromancer, this condition does not impair them.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 799):

Ah, if this was known by Kirpich, he would definitely destroy them on the way past them then!

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 800):

Shape stone at -5

In reply to Narrator (msg # 801):

Kirpich manages the first 5 he comes across.

[Private to GM: Rolls against target 20-5=15, 5 under, 5 under, 3 under, 2 under, 2 under.]

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 802):

With the ancient seals eradicated, there is a great rumbling sound,and a feeling like a shadow has been lifted.
