5:30pm 2019-6-30 Smon Has entered the room
joriandrake: hello
Smon: Hi all - sorry for delay.
JamesDevil: that would be useful, we are about to fight a blue one, i might try talking it down first
JamesDevil: Hi
sandor sunneson: Hi all
joriandrake: so if you need to understand a language casting Comprehend Languages is an option
joriandrake: ok, considering that I have to leave soon I can cast some spells like CompLang, sure
JamesDevil:
JamesDevil: thxs
Smon: Previous session http://smonscurseofthecrimsonthrone.blogspot.com/2019/06/ep-83-2514720-leng.html
Keelia: hi
Smon: >>Smon: A twenty-foot-wide cavern opens onto a high mountain ledge
here. The air is unnaturally still and cool, and a mound of
rubble into which an immense nest of sorts has been built sits
against the cliff side to the south. And upon the mound slumbers an immense blue dragon, richly bejewelled!
joriandrake: Drakh floaty-shakes to gain attention of others then lowers closer to ledge
Smon: Drak points out the ledge location to the others. Drak roll Stealth.
joriandrake: eeek
joriandrake rolls 1d20+17 and gets: 15, (+17) = 32
joriandrake: 32 yep
Smon: dragon (when awake) https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqMx9nKKVsTsnKQhLHnrU1B0v2yaEDGowOelCQSPKoP5iL1Dar5Gw-ote9jBqUw1-8ulrr00t0ibyNlO0BCePso02TDtePawjjDoQ-ShKV-N1O93jVas82j5-wZeo1PADOu4QaRu3dZzid/s1600/Cadrlkasta+final.jpg
joriandrake: SImon - might soon be a good time to end session?<<
joriandrake: CompLang works for a hour, as far I recall it does not require concentration. Invisibility and Nondetection might come in handy for the party too even if I am absent
sandor sunneson: I'm going to sign off for a bit for food and will come on again after dinner, just in through the door
joriandrake: ah yes, the bejewelled dragon, which I didn't recognize as a blue type one
sandor sunneson: Nice pic
joriandrake: bon appetit then
sandor sunneson: thank you, bloody hot here./
Keelia: I agree with you ferg - it's insanely hot today
Smon: Much cooler in London today.
JamesDevil: yea, I was basically a sweaty pile of goo today -.-
joriandrake: 36 celsius here, but at least the breete is kinda cool
sandor sunneson: On the plus side its great for drying clothes lol
JamesDevil: i'm just outside of the M25
joriandrake: still better than two days ago at 38 with no wind movement
Smon: Yesterday was around 34C, had a BBQ and ran Attack on the Fire Cult - it was very immersive.
Smon: http://frloudwater.blogspot.com/2019/06/t3m61491-dr-scarlet-moon-hall.html
joriandrake: We have terrible heat here for two weeks now, but news just began to take notice of it for about a week
joriandrake: no one cared because we are not the capital
sandor sunneson: Cool pics Simon,
joriandrake: so, useful spells I can cast on others and cast as utility even if an NPC: Mesage (cantrip), Comprehend Languages (level 1), Invisibility (level 2), Nondetection (level 2), Phantom Steed (level 2) - although I assume with Quillax the steed isn't that useful for transportation
JamesDevil: Comprehend Languages could be useful, if it doesn't hand of the shard I'd like to understand why
Smon: ooc ready to start whenever you are.
JamesDevil: ready
Keelia: ok
Smon: You come out of cloud form upslope from the dragon ledge?
JamesDevil: yep, we want to be above the entrance
JamesDevil: we can then sneak down either side
joriandrake: Just note when Drakh should cast the spell on you (or whomever tries to negotiate)
joriandrake: I assume the dragon can speak common tho
JamesDevil: probably can
JamesDevil: lets find out eh?
joriandrake: (still, foreign plane ruins and all, there might be writing and soken words it could still come in handy for)
Smon: OK make DC 20 Athletics checks climbing down the steep cliff to the dragon ledge.
joriandrake: spoken*
JamesDevil: auto pass for Claw? or should I roll?
Keelia: fa
Keelia: feather fall
Keelia: sorry for the typo
Smon: Claw passes (min STR)
Smon: Quillax can feather fall down.
Smon: Drak reliable talent?
joriandrake rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 11, (+11) = 22
Smon: What's Sandor's STR if he's climbing down?
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 2, (+10) = 12
joriandrake: yep, would be at least 21 even with bad roll
sandor sunneson: lol, 18
JamesDevil: Claw will try to catch Sandor if he can
joriandrake: or try rage while doing it
JamesDevil: I'm always raging
Smon: The ledge is about 60' wide by 120' long, with the dragon on its 50' long pile of treasure and debris at the east end. The 20' wide tunnel runs into the mountain from the middle of the ledge's south side.
Smon: If Sandor is raging he has Advtg on STR checks
sandor sunneson: Sandor is raging then,
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 18, (+10) = 28
Smon: he has Persistent Rage at 15th so ought to be
Smon: ok
sandor sunneson: thank you GM
joriandrake: angry-extreme mountain climbing
Smon: OK if you are coming down either side of the tunnel who is coming down east side near dragon, who west side further away?
JamesDevil: I'll head east
sandor sunneson: Should we split up? Stay as a group?
sandor sunneson: Barbs east? Others other side?
JamesDevil: if raned go further away the'y be safer
Keelia: Q will stay with the barbs but maybe the squishier people should go west?
JamesDevil: makes sense
joriandrake: I think it is best I do cast the spells you require now, considering the time
Smon: (do your spells Drak)
sandor sunneson: Dinner is just about ready, I will log in after. Sorry about this. Just waiting for rice to be done
Smon: Sandor Claw & Quillax head down the mountainside towrards the dragon.
Smon: Roll Stealth.
joriandrake: I can cast a CompLang on... Claw? Yes? and I cast an additional Invisibility on whomewer you wish. Could be useful both on Druid or a combatant
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 9, (+2) = 11
JamesDevil: yes plz Drak
joriandrake: then I will bid my farewell, no use to stay and join battle for just 4 minutes
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 6, (+3) = 9
joriandrake: ok, language cast - tello me who gets invisibility
sandor sunneson: not very stealthy
JamesDevil: >.>
JamesDevil: Probably Quillax
JamesDevil: Sandor and I have already screwed up the stealth
joriandrake: so be it
Keelia:
sandor sunneson: lol
joriandrake: OK Drakhaien casted Invisibility on QUillax, and Comprehend Languages on Claw
Smon: As you three reach the ground the dragon raises a sleepy head and eyes you all (Passive Per 27 & Blindsight)
JamesDevil: bah
joriandrake: (with this I bid theee well, good luck and see you later, bye all)
Smon: She speaks in Common: “And you would be those I have dreamed about. I can smell the
other shards on you. Thank you for bringing them to me, apes.
Leave them here with me, and I will not contest your immediate
and silent departure."
JamesDevil: "why hello there!"
Smon: "Hello, ape."
Smon: The dragon yawns slothfully.
JamesDevil: "yea, you see, you need that shard, so how about you just go back to sleep and we take it, eh?"
JamesDevil: Claw approaches the dragon
Smon: "I don't think so."

Keelia: "We just need the shard to save the world. Otherwise you and your treasure all is gone."
Keelia: "We don't want anything else from you."
