In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 264):

Aoife does something, and a Swarm of bats appears!

"Good to see my little friends! Spread out, guys, and find everyone hiding here! If they are nasty, stay back and let us know..."

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 264):

The dancing sword can attack things you can see, or things you can pointbat (ie invisibles walking through flour)

The sense spirit spell fails, must be something physical.

The bats take a few seconds to survey the area. To understand them, you need another spell.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 266):

What spell would I need to understand animals I have created and have a link with?

Mancini says out loud to no one in particular, "What does a scoundrel have to do around here to get some service in this joint?"

In reply to Aoife (msg # 267):

You don't  have bat allies, but you can become one. How did you get the crowd of bats, were they created? If summoned and not allies, you would need beast speech, if a bat, you could speak to them yourself... pl3ase clarify.

In reply to Mancini (msg # 268):

There is a chuckle from the corner behind a fallen table...

Kalima points with her spear and advances, sniffing the air.

"Less than petty demon, not quite an imp. There, behind the table"

Following Kalima into the derelict-seeming tavern, Ardenas looks around for the source of the laughter.  "Less than a petty demon?"

20:01, Today: Grimaldi rolled 7 using 3d6.  perception ~ 14. Grimaldi follows the celestial, and the illumination her fiery hair gives off. He is able to now perceive the interior and is aware of the creature the others are talking about. Grimaldi narrows his eyes.

Mancini taps his foot and looks at Grimildi " I guess the master of the tavern doesn't want to do business. Oh well," he says blithely.

"I guess the master of this tavern must *like* pain since I suspect his master won't take kindly for refusing to aid two seeking power for themselves here in Northport."

(Ooc: 22:11, Today: Mancini rolled 14 using 3d6.  Intimidation (14).)

In reply to Mancini (msg # 273):

A wretched looking creature the size of a toddler, kind of greenish yellow looking with a large head and an even larger knife charges out of the shadows

Oly steps to clear his line of sight and throws the Large knife at the creature.



[Private to GM:   11:35, Today: Oly rolled 6 using 3d6.  Thrown Knife.  by 10 less range mods
11:39, Today: Oly rolled 0 [1 impaling]  using 1d6-1.  Thrown Knife Damage. ]

In reply to Oly (msg # 275):

Oly's flung knife draws a little blood (edged weapons do a minimum of 1 point) and the wretched critter skitters away.

In reply to offspring (msg # 276):

"Be careful! Doomchildren explode!"

Grimaldi didn't like the idea of explosions, in a confined area. He looks for cover, as he draws his sword.

I apolofize fer my bed drow

As Mancini searches his head to see if he can remember any Guild briefings on the Doomchildren, Mancini asks Kalima for anything she might know about them as well.


03:41, Today: Mancini rolled 12 using 3d6.  Current Affairs (Guild)- 15, in regards to the activities of doomchildren

In reply to Narrator (msg # 269):

They were created, not summoned.

Ardenas draws a quarrel from his hip quiver and looks around for a target.

In reply to Aoife (msg # 281):

Created animals can obey instructions and engage in combat, but like any creations, are fairly poor at communication - they will go where you say, but can only report back by squeaking.

In reply to Mancini (msg # 280):

Mancini has heard of these exploding imps, they have been encountered more and more often. One of their victims recieved a crippling leg injury, they are much stronger with those skinny little arms than they look.

"They are evil filth, and explode like alchemical fire, and their bones splinter into darts if you are close. Don't get within a fathom and a half from them,  or their blood will burn you.  A good wound will take them down, particularly effective is a strike to the head. Ware their small size"

"The only way I'll hit one in the head is by luck, but at least I can hit them at a distance a few times, until I run out of quarrels and shuriken.  They don't need silver to harm them, I hope."

Grimaldi listened, taking in the info. It sounded like he would be using his lightning...

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 286):

Aoife will instruct them to squeak when they find someone hiding, and to bite them in the head...

Mancini readies his rapier in case he needs to attack.

"Now, now Kalima. They are not truly evil in the same sense that a fly pestering a human is evil. Obviously, they are pawns of some greater master because they apparently have no independent thought. If they did, they would know to send for their master do that I can make a proposition with them."


(Ooc:14:20, Today: Mancini rolled 10 using 3d6.  Intimidation (14).

14:18, Today: Mancini rolled 8 using 3d6.  Propoganda 14

Both rolls are intended towards the doomchild.)

Grimaldi scoffed.
Hearing the thing's giggling, and it's description he figured the thing was twisted, evil, and thoroughly mad. To try and parley with such creatures, was  greater madness.
"They must be destroyed." (blood lust)
