OOC  Edited to remove the demonic reference.  Not sure he will know exactly where the judgement is coming from, will he?  Or does he recognize the source?

OOC:  That's fine, I'm okay with Stenet being confused by the source of the Judgement.  After all, as far as he's concerned the Gods shouldn't be directly interfering anyway, so he's probably not used to being directly divined by the divine...

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 165):

"Sorry, I seem to have upset Helios...let me ask him why..."

Melchizadek will go quiet as he prays...

[Private to GM: Praying to Helios for how to rectify this.]

"Oh... ahhh... sorry about mistaking Helios for a demon..." Stenet sounds mildly embarrassed, but then gruffs back up immediately, "Ahem!  But these tracks are from a demon of old.  And like I said, it's dragging something.  Be wary anyway.  They can be tricky, but like the last one Hograth dispatched with a bolt through the heart, good job, that's how they need to be killed, they tend to be very straight forward.  Stomp up and start laying in.  That last one was a bit talky for them though, so no telling what this one will be like."

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 167):

The tracks in the mud vanish, as if something had leapt away.the nearby beech tree looks to be suffering from blight.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 168):

Has Mel sorted out his issues with Helios? Not sure how to go about that...pray?

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 169):

Hograth is busy looking around, crossbow ready. He looks over and up at the beech tree, to see if it is in the tree.

[Private to GM: Roleld 7, 5 under perception, looking for demon.]

Goran also minds the perimeter while Mel seems lost in the moment.

Ginko keeps a watchful eye from the rear of the pack. He lets the big people do the heavy lifting and waits in his lofty position overhead.

Urrun is still a bit confused as to what is going on...

"Fell thing took to the trees.  Hopefully it had to linger in each one, or this could be damnable to track.  Urrun, do you have the demon's scent?""

Smell burnt and bad? Yes ... that way...

[Private to GM:  19:45, Today: Urrun rolled 9 using 3d6.  Perception .  12 skill , 13 hearing, 15 smell ]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 169):

A meditation roll might help.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 175):

Uruncan smell that burnt metal/sex/sour milk/reptile smell and can hear something.


Ginko make a per roll! And a dodge!

Not expecting to be an ambush target being at the rear (assumingly furthest from the tree) and being at a generally safe altitude he makes his best attempt to dodge something.

[Private to GM: OOC:
21:53, Today: Ginko Bitterpetal rolled 9 using 3d6.  dodge, aero, retreat - 13. (Edit correction* actual dodge score of  16, not 13.

21:52, Today: Ginko Bitterpetal rolled 14 using 3d6.  aerobatics.

21:51, Today: Ginko Bitterpetal rolled 12 using 3d6.  Per check.]

In reply to Ginko Bitterpetal (msg # 178):

The bold pixie is nearly struck fromabove and behind by a hooked length of chain!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 179):

Does anyone else notice this?

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 180):

Per rolls all. You are all looking at a tree that is blighted and for hoofprints onthe ground.

Ginko cries out with alarm and whirls around to face his attacker as he narrowly escapes total obliteration!

OOC: Maybe help the other's perception lol.

Urrun is concentrating on the tree and missies everything until Gingko cries out...


[Private to GM: 21:01, Today: Urrun rolled 16 using 3d6.  Perception .]

Already looking around at other trees figuring the demon leapt, Stenet catches a glimpse of movement...



OOC:  01:08, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 8 using 3d6.  Per 12.  Noticing where the Demon of Old is hiding.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 184):

Hograth notices when the chain swings out. He turns to aim his crossbow at the heart of the creature that used it as Ginko cries out.

[Private to GM: Rolled 3 under perception.]

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 185):

Melchizadek is praying until he hears the cry. Then he decides there might be a better way to make pennance...

He prepares his staff and looks for the culprit...or rather, looks straight at him

[Private to GM: Rolled 7 under perception.]

Goran sees the chain come out, and follows it back to it's source.  He's off as fast as he can to confront the evil demon.  It was time for a cleansing!

[Private to GM: Made the roll by 8.
12:24, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 6 using 3d6.  Goran PER 14.]

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 187):

The other end of the chain is hin the hands of a horned, hooved batwing demon!
