OOC: I know, right? I say we use hypnotism to make Raven believe he's been giving us 1xp per character death the whole time. GM: Hey, have you noticed this pocket watch I'm holding that's swinging back and forth, and how you're getting sleepy? And susceptible to suggestions? Okay, cool, because when...

OOC: So far I count 5xp, and so far it seems we need 10xp to level up. I'm hopeful that being stuck down a well with swamp thing will net me 4xp for difficulty(?) but let's see if I can survive first. On the bright side, Gran is the one who had the Tarot, not Amalthia. I don't know who the lovers we...

Hanging out.

Copromancer is having a look around to see if there's anything to note. magic? Books of lore? Pictures?

OOC: (rapidly biting fingernails) Ooooh, I got nothing. Maybe Nan can tackle the creature?

Initiative: 12 (10+1 agility +1 Lucky house). Amalthia is going to spend this round avoiding the stick man, trying to stay on the opposite side of the room from it. Ideally this would mean running in a circle while the creature follows her, until Nan shows up and wrestles the monster. If I need to b...

Sadly no time to learn anything: when I tried reading, the phantoms attacked and ate one of yours. Then giant rats. But we figured out something based on the drawings in one of the rooms. Nothing mentioned that seemed relevant, in the time we've had.

OOC: Blurgh. I thought 4 feet would be deep enough. It's not going to land feet down like a human, but body-first like a quadroped being dropped. The water should have cushioned that (though I'm not an expert on diving). Ah well. OOC: Um... I've got that staff-bit with me? "Ahhh! Gran! Nan! Get...

Joseph sits down comfortably. Copromancer notes the others' reactions, and is under the impression that it's strange the group wants to rest in the ruins. He wants to look around the area, see if there are doors here or other features. "It is strange that we're just going to stop here, isn't it...

Joseph: Lawful
Marvin, Jenkins, Xim: Unaligned
Copromancer: Unaligned, but insane.

Amalthia tests the bottom, finds it's deep enough, so while she moves towards the debris she calls back "Okay, toss down Sir--" (splash) "--Cudsworth... Okay then."

OOC: if he's not injured, she'll help him above the surface.

Joseph calls in to the others. "It's safe, lads! No monsters as I can see. I think we could rest up here!"

The others peer in, seeing what the big deal is.

Joseph, who doesn't think the lawful feeling is a bad one, bravely opens the lawful door. If he dies here, he'll hope to see his faithful hound again; if not, he'll see how he can help stop the monsters in these ruins. With that in mind, he will enter the room.

OOC: Oh, I hope this works out.

OOC: Oh, I hope this works out.

OOC: Traps? Here? Naaaaaaahhh. Joseph relays his feelings to the others, knowing that sorcery isn't something to toy with. "I'm getting a strong sense of... of something from that door. Like... what I heard about in stories, fate and destiny and such? Or like... like laws and judges, that feeli...

OOC: Are Nan and Gran both old ladies? Graveyard: I suppose we could lose a PC, but what if we need something from there to survive? Or it could be a trap like the cabin-mimic. Really tough choice on this one, and we don't have time before one of those phantoms come and eat one or more of us... IC: ...

OOC: It's just Nan and Amalthia now, right? Luc was your other character, and he's gone; so now it's Nan and Amalthia, right? So basically one hit and either of us are dead. The phantoms are coming out of the ground, I'm thinking the solution is somewhere down that well. We can't tie the rope on the...

OOC: Hmm... I'd say the characters I've got are mostly neutral, with maybe Lawful being Joseph or Copromancer (though he's kind of weeeeeird, so I don't know; I'd say he believes he's outside the rules of humanity, but in awe of the processes of reality; plus insane. They're none of them interested ...

OOC: thought I'd posted! I really had written up what I'd meant to do, I'm sure of it. Amalthia helps tie the rope, and grabs the Luc doll, putting it with the others they've collected. "Can we get Sir. Cudsworth down with us? He's likely to come in handy, and I don't want him to die out here. ...

Would we be able to have him join in with us? If you don't want him to bring in fresh characters, I could donate two of mine.

QUESTION: did the phantom go first, or Amalthia? Is there a chance that it got him before the elf could throw her torch? I don't think anyone's ever attacked while they're full of blood. Maybe it got Luc before she could react?

Jester Jenkins wipes sweat from his brow. "Bound? Good! Then until we can smash that fearsome demon, we should stay away. That presents us with a problem: we aren't equipped to deal with demons like that, but we also don't have anything else in the village to use on it, and our torches bounced ...

OOC: can we act normally now? The spider's dead still, I hope. Can we climb out of the dungeon, dust off, and see if we can't find better weapons in town? Marvin the Tax Collector Hrmphs. "The poor girl's dog doesn't concern me so much as the fact that we woke up the slime beast of the ruins, a...

OOC: sorry Guang, thought the torch could help. She's right with you, though. Should we flee towards the house, or towards the well and jump in?

How close are we to the well? Or are we basically just at the porch?
