"I'll take last watch." the muscular barbarian said as he pulled the large hunting knife from his boot. He held the knife in his left hand and the hilt of his two-handed sword in his right and laid back and stretched out against the tree he had been leaning on. "Wake me if there's trouble." he added closing his eyes.

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 37):

"It's getting late now, innit? Let's doss down for the night.

"If you want last watch, I guess I'll take first then, yeah?"

Boris prepared to sit watch as the sun started to go down, but prayers would come later.

He asked his companions, "now, I think it's possible that something happened to the lovely yet, er, I mean lovely and capable Ondrea, to bring her to this island. Where I come from, women warriors are rare but not unheard of. But it's possible I am no longer in Outremer. We may be on Earth, far across the seas, but that seems even more unlikely. The monks of the Order of the Temple speak of different worlds and planes, of Heaven and Hell, and sometimes one may travel very far indeed by accident, purpose, or by the will of God All-mighty.

"I guess, what I am asking, is are you all natives of this island? Or are you travellers to this realm as well?"

In reply to Boris Underhill (msg # 39):

Larz cracked and eye lid. "I came here by boat. I really don't even know where here is." he said in reply to Boris.

In reply to Boris Underhill (msg # 39):

"I am not sure where we are, but I am supposed to be here.  Nothing is by accident, it is the will of the Gods."
Sipping a quick drink.
"I fell asleep in one land, and woke up in another."
Offering the wineskin to Boris.

In reply to Boris Underhill (msg # 39):

"I think I may have hit my head during my journey as I have very little memories of my previous life, just fragments really. Though this is certainly not my homeland or even close to it, I know that much."

Boris nodded.

"I see. We all seem to be travellers of some sort. And I agree. It is the will of God that we are here, and together.

"We are not quite sure where "here" is. Does this land have a name? Do the lands you come from have names, or at least names you know? I am from the land Outremer. It is separated from Earth and the Holy Land by vast uncrossable oceans, at least according to the monks of the Temple."

Sometimes warriors travelled a lot and therefore knew where they came from, and Stoney seemed to be educated and might therefore also know something about where he was from.

In reply to Boris Underhill (msg # 43):

"I was born and raised in a place called Phlan. I was swinging the smithy hammer ever since I could see over the forge." Larz commented. "My father's people come from the barren wastelands of Northern Mountains known as the Stafangr Peaks in Old Norse, or the Fangs of the Dragon in common tongue."

"I grew bored with staying in one place and set off from home to adventure and make my fortune." he added shaking his head. "Now I'm on this gods forsaken island with no way off." he snickered to himself. "Could be better, could be worse." he said shrugging his large shoulders, before closing his eyes again..

In reply to Larzander Gunderzen (msg # 44):

He hated to bother Larz but Boris persisted.

"My apologies, friend, for keeping you up. I shall only be a moment.

"So nothing odd occurred when you came here? You are here on purpose, you've heard of this place before? And does this island have a name?"

OOC: So I'm assuming you're hunkering down for the night.  Any particular watch order...if any?  I've got Larz down for last so far.

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 46):

OOC: Ondrea was one of the middle ones.

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 46):

As the sun begins to set, Boris takes first watch.

In reply to Boris Underhill (msg # 48):

"Ill take 2nd watch

The land I spent most of my time, or all of it was called Forgotten Realms."
Taking a sip.
"There is a lot of diversity, different races, religions, Gods, etc.  It is a wondrous place to have been studying my life.  It has sought me that no one God is right or wrong, they are just like us, but with divinity.  We actually have the ability to ascend to their status if they wish, and we could become Gods.  there is a lot more to it, for another time.   for now I want to dry out my clothes, and shoes.  Wet feet is no fun!

In reply to Boris Underhill (msg # 45):

"Didn't say nothing odd happened."Larz replied cracking his eyes open again.

"I took a job as ships Captain's personal body guard. Everything went well for a week or so at sea. Then one night while I am standing guard outside the Captain's quarters a strange fog rolled in. Unknown to me almost the entire crew including the Captain vanished that night without a trace." Larz continued.

"I managed to find a couple of other people still there and alive and we searched the entire ship.5 of us was all that were left aboard. We were adrift in fog so thick we couldn't see 3ft in from of you. We decided to hold up in the Captain's room and wait until morning."

"During the night those winged demons tried to attack and carry us away, but we fought them off." Larz said looking around the camp. " "After a while we'd pretty much given up that we were all gone, when we suddenly found our ship bumping against a dock."


"That's where we found old Stoney here. Passed out on the dock." he said smiling at his friend. "We walked blindly into the fog and found the town and Inn. When we woke next morning the fog was gone, and here we are..."

"Like I said, I have no idea where "here" is. I know I'm on an island, and I know these people needed my help."

It's closing in on midnight when Boris quietly slides over to Stoney and rouses him for his watch.  Boris immediately lays down where Stoney had been sleeping...no sense in letting a perfectly warmed spot go to waste, and very quickly found his eyes growing heavy.  Stoney found himself a comfortable spot not too far from the small fire and propped himself up so as not to return to slumber.

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 51):

Slowly Stoney rubs his eyes, as to make sure he is not dreaming.
Not that close to any of the party, he grabs a piece of debris from the ground, and his hammer, that he next to him.
Quietly as possible he tosses the debris at Boris, to wake him, since he is probably still awake.

08:40, Today: Stoney Applesmith rolled 18 using 1d20.  to wake up Boris.


After a second he leaps to his feet and charges towards the beast.
"WAKE UP!! THERE IS AN UNHOLY SNAKE THING!"
Charging forth, if he catches the beast he will take a big swing.

Hit AC 7??  If hit 5 damage
08:41, Today: Stoney Applesmith rolled 11 using 1d20.  attack with hammer.
08:42, Today: Stoney Applesmith rolled 4 using 1d4. (Forgot +1)

In reply to Stoney Applesmith (msg # 52):

Waking Larzander sprung to his feet and had his two-handed sword at the ready in a split second. His eyes scanned the camp quickly trying to determine why the alarm was raised.

Ondrea rose from her slumber in good order as she grabbed her hammer before standing up. She looks to were Stoney is running and joins him in his attack on the beast.

She stops within striking distance as he fellow companions join her she finds a place within the line and swings her hammer at the creature.

Ondrea Avalor rolled 17 using 1d20+6.  Attack 1.
Ondrea Avalor rolled 12 using 1d20+6.  Attack 2.
Ondrea Avalor rolled 13 using 1d10+10.  Damage - Large creature ?

In reply to Stoney Applesmith (msg # 52):

Not understanding exactly what was happening, but understanding they were under attack, Boris did the most useful thing he could think of.

"What is it? What's happening?

Boris started building the fire up, making sure it was blazing and didn't go out!

The abomination before you resembles a bleached-white skeleton of a giant snake, topped by a fanged human skull with constantly whirling, milk-white eyes. While only a portion of its body is upright, the creature could easily be 12' long or more.  The monstrosity stares through you, keeping a constant motion, moving with a macabre grace.

Ondreas' hammer connects squarely with the creature, shattering several of it's rib(?) bones, yet it never ceases its constant swaying.

OOC: I need saving throws vs. spells please

"Foul abomination, I will end you." Putting her body into the swing of her hammer she again connects with the undead snake creature.


Ondrea Avalor rolled 18 using 1d20.  Saving throw vs spells = 12.
Ondrea Avalor rolled 23 using 1d20+6.  Attack.
Ondrea Avalor rolled 13 using 1d10+10.  Damage.

In reply to Ondrea Avalor (msg # 57):


07:40, Today: Stoney Applesmith rolled 14 using 1d20.  save vs spells @ 14.

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 56):

Pausing in his building of the fire, Boris grabbed the gold cross hanging around his necj and exclaimed, "Christ protect us! What an abomination!" He knew there were fell creatures about, warped by evil and sin. Luckily for him aside from the odd Saracen or fantastic beast his exposure to such creatures was quite low, but he had been harried by some in his travels. But none as Godless and horrifying as this!

The fire was as good as it was going to get. Unlike most wild creatures, the undead probably wouldn't be held at bay by a fire. Boris drew his sword and angled to get in behind the foe where he could strike without getting in the way of Ondrea, Larz and Stoney.


12:47, Today: Boris Underhill rolled 17 using 1d20+4.  Save vs Spells (13).

In reply to Boris Underhill (msg # 59):
Finally seeing what was going on the barbarian cursed and rushed into battle striking at the snake-like beast. The burly warrior slipped in the mud as he charged in throwing his swing off as he struck nothing but air.

16:40, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 5 using 1d20+2.  Attack snake.
16:38, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 6 using 1d20+4.  save vs spell.

The combined force of each attack utterly obliterates the creature; as it explodes it sends debris and dust into the air.  Briefly, you all shield your eyes but just as the dust starts to settle, you can already make out the shimmering details of another two monstrosities.

OOC: I need another saving throw vs. spells from each

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 61):

"I haven't had much to drink...I thought I saw another one! What are these things?"
Quickly goes through the different tomes in his head to try and recall anything like the snake things.
Hammer spinning around, as he backs up to the fire.



Save vs spells is 14  rolled 2
17:05, Today: Stoney Applesmith rolled 2 using 1d20.  save vs spells .
