Extension (Conan 2D20 V3.6 09302018) loaded.
And at the end of the last session, Slumbara fell asleep in the middle of combat.
We are at the start of a new round of combat
Slumbara: zzzzzzzzz
Meltam Perandus: Ranged Weapons 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 10]
Slumbara: zzzzz...tuba...zzzzzz...kill...zzzzz....Meltam...zzzzzz...anal...zzzzzzzz
Tack (Meltam Perandus): Derro Warrior #12?
Slumbara drools
Meltam Perandus: [0]
That will hit him with no momentum, but you can roll damage.
Meltam Perandus: Throw Rock: (Reach 2-Improvised-Stun-Thrown-2D): [2d6 = 6]
The rock hits him in the chest to no effect.
Volmalric pulls out his bow and arrow, firing one at #12
Volmalric: Blasted barbarians! Every time!
Volmalric: Ranged Weapons 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 5]
Volmalric: Wait a second, I think I have a plan. Meltam, can you hold them all off for a bit without summoning another greater demon?
Meltam Perandus: Sure!
Volmarlric will also hit, roll damage.
GM: Sorry, cleaning up a mess so I'm not enitrely here yet.
Tack (Meltam Perandus): Hi I'm Meltam Perandus. You may know me from appearances on Wildlife of the Bossonian Marches and I'm here to talk to you about a serious problem. If you or anyone you love has a sorcery problem, call today....
Volmalric: Bow: (Close-2H-Volley-3D): [4d6 = 10]
Kazemi (Volmalric): *record scratch* Hi, I'm Meltam Perandus. You might be wondering how I got in this situation here.
There is much stomping of feet and running around in the dark, plus some flashing of metal going on and scary beady eyes.
Warriors 3, 6, and 12 run over and begin tying Slumbara up in ways that would suggest all level of kinky naughtiness if Slumbara was awake and a willing participant.
Tack (Meltam Perandus): FWIW, most Trek characters tend to me hilarious caricatures until like 80% through the episode and they had their epiphany.
The other warriors run into the light and engage in vicious slashing and stabbing of Meltalm and Volmalric.
Meltalm is relatively unharmed from this onslaught, Volmalric gets rather viciously stabbed and is now rather bloddy and leaking bodily fluids from inappropriate places. And he has suffered 2 Wounds.
[ROUND 3]
[TURN] Derro Warrior 6
[TURN] Meltam Perandus
Volmalric: Parry 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 32]
Meltam Perandus: Parry 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 15]
Meltalm sneakily avoided damage entirely!
Volmalric: Parry 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 24]
Volmalric bravely tries to parry and succeeds in getting himself the same level of "beaten up" as before. Which is better than rolling complications.
GM: Agility - 8 Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 21]
GM: [6d6 = 17]
There is a woman's scream (you assume it is your companion Delia, who is in the darkness somewhere), and a wet "splooshing" noise like some water balloon just exploded against the far wall.
Slumbara: zzzzz....sploosh....zzzzzz
Meltam Perandus: Melee 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 22]
Meltam Perandus: Mace: (Reach 2-Unb-Knockdown-Stun-Pierce 1-3D): [4d6 = 12]
Meltam Perandus is using a Hero Point
Meltam Perandus: Melee 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 21]
Meltam Perandus: Melee 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 9]
Meltam Perandus: Mace: (Reach 2-Unb-Knockdown-Stun-Pierce 1-3D):, Mace: (Reach 2-Unb-Knockdown-Stun-Pierce 1-3D): [8d6 = 25]
Meltam lunges forward and smashes Warrior 4 into submission and then steps forward and backhands Warrior 2, stunning him for the round.
Volmalric is using a Hero Point
Volmalric bravely powers through his injuries and chooses to ignore the blood leaking from him.
Volmalric delves into his pouch for a mixture that will help stimulate Slumbara to action
Volmalric: Alchemy 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 30]
Meltam Perandus: Volmalric! Save Delia!
Tack (Meltam Perandus): or attach smelling alts to an arrow and fire at the prone Slumbara.
Tack (Meltam Perandus): *smellting salts
Feneril (Slumbara): If Slumbara were awake, I'm sure he would have some suggestions about how you could stimulate him...
Volmalric smears something slightly bluish onto one of his arrows and takes aim towards Slumbara's large but unconscious form
Volmalric: SLUMBARA!
Volmalric is using a Hero Point
Volmalric: Ranged Weapons 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 32]
Volmalric: Bow: (Close-2H-Volley-3D): [4d6 = 11]
GM: [TABLE] Hit Location Table = [1d20 = 5]
Right Arm
Volmalric: [2d6 = 6]
GM: Volmalric shoots Slumbara in the arm with an arrow. This action has multiple effects:
GM: 1) The warriors tying up Slumbara stop and turn to face Volmalric with expressions of, "WTF DUDE?"
GM: Slumbara wakes up and wonders why everything smells like a cheap brothel that sells chocolate chip cookies.
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 12]
GM: The warrior who was going to attack Volmalric this round is now confused and not sure which side he is on.
Slumbara is using a Hero Point
Slumbara: Melee 3EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 29]
Slumbara: Melee 3EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 27]
Slumbara: Melee 3EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 23]
Slumbara: Melee 3EXP/2FOC Successes = 4 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 3]
Slumbara: Broadsword: (Reach 2-Parry 1-UNB-5D): [7d6 = 28]
Slumbara: [2d6 = 4]

Slumbara: Melee 3EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 17]
Slumbara: Melee 3EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 16]
Slumbara: Broadsword: (Reach 2-Parry 1-UNB-5D): [7d6 = 28]
Slumbara: [3d6 = 8]
Slumbara: Melee 3EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 16]
Slumbara: Melee 3EXP/2FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 10]
Slumbara: Broadsword: (Reach 2-Parry 1-UNB-5D): [7d6 = 24]
Slumbara: [1d6 = 5]
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 37]
Slumbara wakes up and smashes through the "warriors" like they are scarecrows in a field.
Slumbara: Why am I tied up?
Slumbara: Were you raping me?
Slumbara: Did you put a roofie in my drink?
Meltam Perandus: Any man knows, one man alone cannot rape you!
Meltam Perandus: An entire clan of small cave creatures did attempt it
Slumbara: But there were many men
Slumbara: I think, I don't see any now though
Volmalric: But those men were not us
Slumbara: I just see clouds of blood
Volmalric: And now they are not men
Slumbara: Is the nice lady ok?
Slumbara: Or did she get raped too
Volmalric: Meltam, can you go get some particularly glowy rock from over there so we can see?
Volmalric: Persuade 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 22]
Volmalric: Slumbara, how do you feel?
Slumbara: My face is numb, and I am hearing colors. But I have the weirdest lady-boner
Slumbara: Also, are you melting?
Slumbara: What did you give me?
Volmalric: I gave you something to wake you up
Volmalric: I think those evil poisons that you were given to knock you out might have secondary effects
Meltam Perandus: Survival Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 17]
Meltam Perandus: Attempting to make a torch from whatever rags and stuff the Derro dropped.
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 25]
Slumbara finds Delia staggering back towards the group, she appears to have been stabbed in the shoulder and looks a little paler than normal.
Volmalric heads over towards Delia to check out her injuries
Meltam Perandus: Healing 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 5]
Volmalric: What happened to you out there?
Meltam Perandus: Delia! Oh no! Let me help you!
Volmalric: Healing 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 27]
Slumbara looks at Volmalric's injuries
Slumbara: Healing 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 28]
Slumbara: Hmm, you are bleeding
Slumbara: did you notice?
Meltalm and Volmalric are evidently quite intent on making sure Delia is not poisoned, injured, or otherwise in danger.
Volmalric struggles to respond, or even breathe, with Slumbara's hands around his neck
Meltam Perandus: Forgive me Delia, it was too dark to really get a handle on things, do you have any light?
Volmalric: I had, I am apparently much better at treating wounds than preventing them
Slumbara: Slumbara is mainly good at causing wounds
Delia: Oh, I was, nicked by one of them when I was trying to dive out of danger. I'm not much of a fighter so I was hoping I could find somewhere to hide and then figure out a rescue plan for Slumbara.
Slumbara: Insight Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 36]
Volmalric pulls out some bandages and checks over his own wounds
Volmalric: Healing 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 28]
Volmalric: [1d20 = 11]
Meltam Perandus: Well, we are in a mysterious cave, and there's a chance whatever Scholar King sent us here to do is deep within it, so....
Meltam Perandus: Thievery 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 19]
Meltam Perandus sifts through the slain Derro.
You are able to patch up Delia enough that she recovers her lost Vigor points easily.
Slumbara pulls Volmalric's arrow out of his arm
The slain Derro have a large collection of big daggers, what looks like "giant-beetle-hide" armor, and very little else of consequence.
Delia begins rummaging through her pack.
Slumbara: Hmmmm... Very suspicious. None of these people have bows.... Volmalric, can you explain this?
Slumbara: How would I have spontaneously grown an arrow out of my arm?
Volmalric collects the arrow from Slumbara and wraps it up for experimentation later. He also collects a couple vials fo blood from the small creatures.
Meltam Perandus: the cowardly ranged combatants fled!
Meltam Perandus: Persuade 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 27]
Slumbara: Resistance 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 25]
Slumbara: Impossible, when I awoke from my slumber I could smell their ambitions and feel their childhood trauma
Slumbara: Or maybe that was the drugs
Volmalric: It was an attempt to get you awake as soon as possible. Let me patch up your arm here.
Volmalric: Healing 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 24]
Volmalric: [1d20 = 9]
Volmalric helps Slumbara by wrapping up the puncture wound on his arm, using a little powder to help stop the bleeding
Delia: I think this will work.
Meltam Perandus waits with anticipation to see Delia work the magic!
Delia retrieves a small blue orb from her pack and holds it close to her mouth. She appears to whisper something to it and then holds it up.
Meltam Perandus: Lore 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 15]
...It glows enough for about a 5' radius....
Delia: Hmm...I expected more from that...
Volmalric applauds politely
Delia: Let's try this....
Meltam Perandus: Thanks!
Slumbara: BTW, now that we are out of combat, just to confirm: Is slumbara still gripped by the manic desire to steal all of Meltam and Volmalric's stuff?
Delia cups the stone in both hands close to her chest.
Slumbara licks the cave walls
Delia: KHAZAHK KHIN!
Volmalric: Lore 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 22]
GM: Everyone make a Resistance check.
Meltam Perandus: Resistance 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 22]
Volmalric: Resistance 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 36]
Slumbara: Resistance 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 22]
Slumbara: [1d20 = 2]
Meltam Perandus: [1d20 = 11]
The room is flooded with brilliant blue light that scours away the darkness and and floods down the tunnels in every direction.
Meltam Perandus: This is incredible!
This does have the downside of completely blinding Volmalric for an indeterminate amount of time.
Volmalric: AHHHH
Slumbara: The shnozzberries taste like shnozzberries
Meltam Perandus: Shall we proceed?
Meltam Perandus: Persuade 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 25]
Volmalric: I can't see anything, Mitra's blessing
Delia: That is way more like it.
Slumbara: It is ok Volmalric, I will help you
Meltam Perandus: How long will we have this light for?
Volmalric blinks rapidly, trying to squint and make out shapes
Slumbara picks up Volmalric like Richard Gere and Julia Roberts and walks towards the other end of the cave
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 18]
Delia: Well, it is powered off my life force, so I'd prefer for it not to go out any time soon, but it does take energy, so I'd prefer not to keep it running for a really long time.
Slumbara: If you get sleepy, Volmalric can give you some of these drugs
Slumbara: They are really great
Delia: It is an Atlantean crystal, they would attach these to headbands on slaves in mines to keep them sedated and let them see what they are doing.
Volmalric: Thank you for the offer, Slumbara
Volmalric: Also, Delia, that sounds horrifying
Meltam Perandus: A little grim. I had always been lead to believe they were less barbaric times...
Slumbara checks out the exit to the north
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 27]
Delia: Slavery is slavery, time does not really change how it works.
Volmalric: That soul-draining stone makes me inclined to disagree
Slumbara has determined the tunnel to the "north" does slope upwards and looks like it was originally a natural tunnel but has since been excavated to be large enough for people to travel it. Assuming the people are about 5' in height.
Meltam Perandus: Observation 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 23]
Delia: Well, Acheronians were way worse when it comes to that, but yeah, the histories and reality don't always agree.
Slumbara: Hmmm, maybe the other one is more Slumbara-sized
Slumbara checks out the other tunnel
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 30]
Meltam Perandus: Just crawl Slumbara, clearly this is the way to go!
The western tunnel slopes down, but is wide enough and tall enough for Slumbara to walk and swing a sword (or a Volmalric.
Slumbara agrees with Meltam (it must be the drugs) and gets down on his hands and knees, tossing Volmalric onto his back like he is riding a horse
Meltam Perandus: Volmalric, pick a few of these rocks with you, a good chemist like you may be able to learn much from the, ore not depending.
Slumbara: Ok, lets go
Slumbara heads out of the small tunnel
Volmalric: I, uh, if it's a small tunnel, I think I can make it myself
Volmalric: As long as I'm not in front, that is
Meltam Perandus: I don't supposed anyone here knows the history of this particular area of Khitai?
Slumbara: Yes, I do
Volmalric: Lore 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 16]
Slumbara: It used to be inhabited by cave-people, now it is covered in their blood
Meltam Perandus: Slumbara, you'd make better historian than most.
Slumbara leads his companions up the tunnel, looking for daylight
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 28]
Volmalric heads after Slumbara, giving the man some space, looking for...anything, as his vision slowly recovers
Meltam Perandus follows Slumbara, smiter of Darro.
Meltam Perandus: Observation 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 19]
Meltam Perandus: [1d20 = 1]
Volmalric: Observation Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 29]
About two hours of upward climb later (and Volmalric going from "completely blind" to "I see darker blurs moving around lighter blurs") you reach a cave exit. Clustered around the cave are a slew of old clay circular huts, some of which have collapsed. There is a well nearby. The sandstorm appears to have hit the wall behind you and dissipated, leaving a striking reddish sky overhead.
Delia: Okay, I'm ready for a break.
Delia sets down the stone and the glow stops.
Meltam Perandus: You deserve it!
Volmalric: A break sounds good. I think my sight is starting to come back!
Slumbara: I will play some tuba music to help everyone relax
Slumbara plays relaxing tuba music
Slumbara: Persuade 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 36]
Meltam Perandus: Somehow, a tuba does not well synergize with the climate and environment we are in.
Slumbara: I do not know what "synergize" means, but I assume you are saying that I should continue playing
A man dressed in tattered Aquilonian armor steps out of one of the clay huts (that is less damaged than the others) and waves at the group.
Edgarth: By Mitra! I never expected to hear such beautiful tuba music again in my life!
Edgarth: I'm Edgarth, what brings you people here?
Slumbara: I'm not sure, probably magic
Slumbara: Where are we?
Edgarth: Yeah, magic for me too, completely and totally sucked.
Meltam Perandus: Khitai
Edgarth: Khitai? That would explain why none of the constellations line up.
Meltam Perandus: But pretty much anything you say is 100% believable considering no mean adventurer could have made it this far.
Edgarth: But hey, come on in to my humble abode. I have some tasty lizard jerky and some fruits I gathered. You can tell me all about the outside world and I will let you know what I have discovered.
Slumbara: Insight Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 22]
Volmalric: That would be fantastic! It's so nice to be meeting a civilized man so far out here
Slumbara follows Edgarth
Meltam Perandus Whispers to Volmalric : It's more interesting that a civilized man would survive out here, no? Stay on your guard, Friend.
Slumbara happily eats the strange man's lizard jerky and fruit
Edgarth: So hey, you have Bossonian and Aquilonian accents. Is my pissy ass whiny cousin Noridades still on the throne?
Campaign saved.
