* Playback of 'recap.txt' complete
[19:49:15] * +Paladin looks to be in dreadful pain.
[19:50:04] * +T_Shaw walks over to Paladin to check on him.
[19:50:34] <+Paladin> :: There are needles.. very fine ones, protruding out of Paladin's skin over 1/3 of his body .. and oozing blood. ::
[19:51:09] <+T_Shaw> "What happened, Paladin?"
[19:51:21] * +Paladin begins pulling out needles, a painful process.
[19:51:51] <+Paladin> "That one.." :: Paladin motions towards SgtMacSaltair :: "did this."
[19:52:09] <+T_Shaw> "Need some help?"
[19:52:15] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Might need surgery, if ye intend to do it that way."
[19:52:29] <+James> "What other ways are there to do it?"
[19:52:35] <+Paladin> "yes.. I cant reach the ones on my back.."
[19:52:50] <+T_Shaw> "Let me see what I can do."
[19:52:58] * +T_Shaw walks behind Paladin.
[19:53:06] * +Paladin pulls away his duster and lets it fall to the ground.
[19:53:09] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Well, they aren't just on the outside, you see."
[19:53:22] <+James> "That's what I was afraid of . . . "
[19:53:36] * otter is now known as Bredock
[19:53:43] <+James> "I can cure his wounds, but I'll soon be out of spells and he'll just get worse again."
[19:53:45] * +SgtMacSaltair looks pensive, very pensive
[19:53:56] * +T_Shaw looks to Saltair "Anything we should know about these needles, like if they're poisoned?"
[19:54:28] <+SgtMacSaltair> "None of that, but they don't disappear faster than normal iron would rust away."
[19:54:36] <.Bynw> *Alec looks over at the larger tent* 
[19:55:15] <+SgtMacSaltair> "They kinda /are/ normal iron,"
[19:55:22] * +T_Shaw turns back to Paladin and starts taking out one needle at a time, but carefully.
[19:55:32] <+Paladin> "arg!"
[19:55:52] * +Paladin winces in pain.. but there is nothing for it but to pull them out.
[19:56:33] <+James> "Won't work, Paladin.  The ones inside will still kill you.  We need another solution."
[19:56:44] <+James> "But what . . ."
[19:56:55] <+Paladin> "help me James." :: Paladin says almost pathetically ::
[19:57:29] <.Bynw> *Alec looks to the Uthani Sgt* "Can you do anything about it?" *he says in the Uthani native language of Valmari*
[19:58:55] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Precious little, yet."
[19:59:08] <+Paladin> "YET?"
[19:59:23] * +Paladin looks at SgtMacSaltair with a look that could kill.
[19:59:28] <+James> "When can you?"
[19:59:31] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Magic aint' umlimited."
[20:00:28] <+James> "I know that.  But when?"
[20:00:44] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Many hours, at least."
[20:01:02] <+SgtMacSaltair> "And that's assuming I can finagle something into a purpose it wasn't meant for."
[20:01:09] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Lemme think."
[20:01:17] <+James> "Okay, I can cure his wounds a few times, but my magic is limited, too."
[20:01:38] * +T_Shaw turns to Saltair and utters in Valimarian "Get to it...for his sake and yours."
[20:02:00] <+Bredock> "There is little I can do, or I would help."
[20:02:51] <+T_Shaw> "If we pool our various skills, we may be able to do what needs to be done."
[20:03:02] <+Paladin> "I can feel them grinding inside me.. I don't think I can move without hurting myself more."
[20:03:25] * +SgtMacSaltair looks merely mildly annoyed as though a child distracted him, saying "Shush." without really paying attention.
[20:03:56] <+James> "Then don't move until the Sergeant can do his thing.  I'm going to give you the best curing I know now."
[20:04:26] * +Paladin does his best to sit down slowly.
[20:05:20] * +James moves over to Paladin, motions, and speaks a few words in the language of the Druids.
[20:05:40] <+James> @roll 3d8+7 for curing
[20:05:40] <@BoxCars> James: 3d8+7 = ( 8+1+7+7 ) = 23 for curing
[20:06:09] <.Bynw> ?? was that a spell James ??
[20:06:20] <+James> ((Cure serious wounds))
[20:06:20] * +Paladin takes a bit of a deeper breath.. and exhales slowly.
[20:06:54] <+Paladin> "Thank you James.. I'll last a bit longer now, if I can just remain still."
[20:08:15] * +Paladin closes his eyes and tries to meditate his mind away from the pain.
[20:09:19] * +SgtMacSaltair is muttering to himself, a long string of things like "Mebbe...no, that'd just kill 'im....But maybe--", interspersed with varying silences
[20:09:37] * +James goes over to Alec. "What's the news, Master Alec?"
[20:11:02] <.Bynw> "We must act quickly ... there are forces at work." *he turns to Shaw* "Can't you feel it?"
[20:11:13] * +T_Shaw nods ominously
[20:12:06] * +T_Shaw turns to Master Alec. "Should we put up Wards?"
[20:14:14] <.Bynw> *Alec* "We must follow the priests underground. But before we do so we should ward the entry"
[20:14:16] <+SgtMacSaltair> *mutter* "A night's rest from now, and I could nearly negate the effects for six hours."
[20:14:38] <+SgtMacSaltair> *mutter peevishly* "Bah, I'm not a bloody medic."
[20:14:59] <+SgtMacSaltair> "but I wonder if I could..."
[20:15:13] * +T_Shaw turns to Saltair. "You are now."
[20:15:43] * +SgtMacSaltair looks about at Alec, finding something amusing
[20:16:00] * +T_Shaw turns back to Alec. "Let's make the preparations to set up the wards."
[20:16:06] <+James> "We're not asking you to fight the Uthani, Sergeant, so Paladin is your top priority."
[20:16:25] <+SgtMacSaltair> *to Shaw* "That doesn't change my training, guardian."
[20:16:51] * +SgtMacSaltair ignores james, pondering
[20:16:56] <.Bynw> "Nothing extravagant Mr Shaw.  Just Wards Major. Do you have a set?"
[20:17:02] <.Bynw> *alec asks*
[20:17:20] * +T_Shaw nods to Alec
[20:24:00] <+T_Shaw> (( It's quiet...a little too quiet... ))
[20:24:02] <.Bynw> *Alec stretches out his hand towards the large tent and uses his powers to rip it down*
[20:24:09] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Ok, here's how it is: I can burst the metal from 'im several hours from now, but y'll need a lot more healin' for him the second I do; or I could wait several hours and give 'im six solid hours of protection from it and all other metals; or I could the same amount of time from now I could turn him to any kind of stone you want to preserve him like a pickle buried under a river."
[20:24:20] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Ah, there's one more way. Not so nice."
[20:24:21] <+Bredock> (( I thought i pung out))
[20:24:44] <+SgtMacSaltair> (( It's Raph! ))
[20:24:58] <+SgtMacSaltair> (( A little /too/ Raph. (-; ))
[20:25:09] * +Paladin grimaces.
[20:25:51] * +T_Shaw gestures to Alec. "After you, sir."
[20:27:50] <+Paladin> "Im not to keen on bursting it out of my body.. but if thats the quickest way..." :: Paladin turns to look at James :: "Can you heal me if he takes the needles out, James?"
[20:28:14] <+Paladin> (( too keen on bursting them ))
[20:28:46] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Last option is I use up the metal in 'im to make a nice big dent in someone el--"
[20:29:03] * +Bredock searches his backpack for something
[20:29:10] <+Paladin> "whats that Sgt?"
[20:29:20] * +SgtMacSaltair looks wondering for a while--so long that you begin to wonder
[20:29:21] <.Bynw> *with the tent pulled down, there appear A circle of fresh, rought metal, rooted into the ground. in the center of the tent area*
[20:29:53] <+Bredock> "I have some healing potions that could help it seems."
[20:30:26] <+James> "If we have time for me to recover spells for tomorrow, I'll have more healing as well."
[20:30:38] * +Paladin nods to Bredock and James..
[20:31:28] <+Paladin> "I think he can put these needles into someone else" :: Paladin speaks slowly :: "Make him put them in one of the Utha, Shaw."
[20:31:39] <+SgtMacSaltair> *at last...speaking slowly* "I shoulda seen it before."
[20:32:08] <+T_Shaw> "That would be an evil act, Paladin. There are some lines I will not cross."
[20:32:36] <+Paladin> "They are evil, Shaw.. remember the temple.. the slaughter at the temple."
[20:33:07] <+SgtMacSaltair> "I got this thing I know; S
[20:33:08] <+James> "Making him do it would be evil, though . . . "
[20:33:35] <+Paladin> "Then let him choose."
[20:33:36] <+SgtMacSaltair> "I got this thing I know; S'posed to do pure deathly almost elemental damage."
[20:34:54] <+SgtMacSaltair> "But if I use it with...meh, too techinical. I can give a whalloping good fix to ya."
[20:35:19] <+T_Shaw> "Paladin, I will not inflict that pain on another person, nor will I force anyone to do it. That is against everything I've been taught."
[20:35:29] <+SgtMacSaltair> ((crap, player error.))
[20:36:29] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Hmm, no not quite the way I was just thinking. But in a related way...any of you got a use for trees?"
[20:36:43] <+James> "Ummmm . . . yes."
[20:36:54] <+Paladin> "
[20:37:15] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Good. You can have it when I'm done with it. I'm gonna snooze bit."
[20:37:18] <+Paladin> "Are you suggesting you can put the needles in a tree, Sgt.?"
[20:37:33] <+James> "A dead tree, right?"
[20:37:48] * +SgtMacSaltair lies down and looks about from under one eyelid
[20:38:18] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Oh, yes quit dead."
[20:38:22] <+SgtMacSaltair> quite*
[20:38:57] <+Paladin> "Then why not just use one of the falled Utha soldiers?"
[20:39:06] <+Paladin> (( fallen ))
[20:39:15] <+SgtMacSaltair> "And don't try sneakin' up on me while I'm asleepin' here; I sleep reeaall light."
[20:40:08] <+James> "Sergeant, you're Paladin's best hope.  We have no reason to kill you in your sleep."
[20:40:57] <.Bynw> *alec walks up to the old looking metal ring at the destroyed tent*
[20:42:43] * +T_Shaw walks by Alec.
[20:42:48] <+T_Shaw> "Shall we?"
[20:42:55] * +Paladin closes his eyes and tries to calm down.
[20:43:12] <.Bynw> *alec* "We need to go down first. But this looks like the sgt's work ... "
[20:43:43] <+T_Shaw> "Lead on, Master Alec."
[20:46:35] * +Bredock walks out to where Shaw and Alec are to see what they are doing
[20:47:56] <.Bynw> *Alec holds up his hand* "Careful Bredock, its some kind of spell protecting the entry way"
[20:48:48] <+Bredock> "OK."
[20:49:22] <+T_Shaw> "Do you know how to 'defuse' it, Alec?"
[20:53:56] <.Bynw> *Alec* "There is a simple way .... "
[20:54:56] * +T_Shaw smiles, "Set up a strong wards and get some sucker to set off the trap?"
[20:56:49] * +James walks over. "Which sucker?"
[20:59:04] * +T_Shaw mutters with a smile, "There's never a sucker around when you need one..."
[20:59:25] <+SgtMacSaltair> (( lol ))
[21:01:03] <.Bynw> *Alec stands with a smile* "I think i can do it."  *he holds his hand out towards the metal object with his palm up and closes his eyes*
[21:01:35] * +James holds his breath.
[21:01:41] * +T_Shaw stands back to give Alec plenty of room
[21:01:54] * +James steps back, too.
[21:02:06] * +Bredock does as well
[21:04:35] <+SgtMacSaltair> [21:43] [SgtMacSinclair] On arriving at the entrance, intend to Creat Metal Ward (create metal 2 + abjure creature 4 = lvl 6 spell, 11 MP): lasts 6 hours, the metal is rooted to the ground and does 1d4 dmg on contact.
[21:04:35] <+SgtMacSaltair> [21:44] [SgtMacSinclair] DC 18 to pass the ward or spell resistance. cannot retry
[21:04:35] <+SgtMacSaltair> (( *watches Bynw rolling next to Tika's puter* Wow, that's a lotta dice. (-:O ))
[21:04:58] <+SgtMacSaltair> ((crap, didn't mean to paste as well))
[21:05:21] <+SgtMacSaltair> (( *banish cat* ))
[21:05:37] <.Bynw> @roll 1d20+12+3+4d6 for tk to rip the thing out of the ground
[21:05:37] <@BoxCars> Bynw: 1d20+12+3+4d6 = ( 13+12+3+4+4+5+6 ) = 47 for tk to rip the thing out of the ground
[21:07:31] <.Bynw> *the metal ring rips from the ground under Alec's will and is tossed aside toward one of the other tents*
[21:09:06] * +Paladin looks at what Alec does and closes his eyes again...
[21:09:53] * +SgtMacSaltair twitches a little at the large metalic clang, but snoozes on
[21:09:59] <+Paladin> "good job, Alec." :: Paladin whispers ::
[21:11:28] * +T_Shaw turns back after the ring falls silent. "Heads up."
[21:12:06] <.Bynw> *alec*  "I'm not sure how long that wizard will be sleeping to recover his spell ability. But he cant move and neither can Paladin."
[21:12:52] <+T_Shaw> "Maybe it would be wise to have at least one of us hang back to protect them."
[21:14:03] <.Bynw> *alec*  "So you all must make a choice. I must go on."
[21:14:32] <+T_Shaw> "
[21:14:46] <+T_Shaw> "You're not going alone, Alec. I'm going with you."
[21:15:37] <+James> "Paladin will need healing . . . but then again you probably will too."
[21:17:13] <+Bredock> "Hmm... Will my services be useful with you Alec?"
[21:19:49] <.Bynw> *Alec put his hands on Bredock's shoulder* "a good sword arm and gun is always handy"
[21:20:45] <+Bredock> "Alright, then I shall go with you and shaw."
[21:22:00] <+James> "I guess I'm elected to stay behind, then."
[21:22:30] * +T_Shaw pats James on the shoulder. "Don't worry. We'll bring you back something."
[21:22:54] <+James> "Thanks."
[21:24:42] <.Bynw> *Alec* "We are going now. The priest have at least 20 minute on us. Enough time for them to already reach their destination."
[21:25:07] <+T_Shaw> "Let's go."
[21:26:22] <+James> "good luck"
[21:26:44] <.Bynw> *Alec* "If we arent back in an hour. Leave this place far behind
[21:27:52] <+James> "Paladin won't be ready to travel in an hour."
[21:28:34] <.Bynw> *Alec* "If we arent back, we are dead and you will be next"
[21:30:22] <.Bynw> *Alec drops into the hole in the ground*
[21:30:58] * +T_Shaw shrugs and follows Alec.
[21:31:13] * +Bredock follows Shaw down the whole
[21:32:04] <+Paladin> (( I guess that it for this character then... ))
[21:32:18] <.Bynw> *Shaw, Bredock and Alec vanishing into the darkness of the pit*
[21:33:35] <+Paladin> (( You might as well go with them Andy. At least you'll get to see the end of the game. ))
[21:33:53] <.Bynw> !! what is paadin doing 
[21:34:28] * +Paladin is sitting 'indian' style on the ground.. with his eyes closed.
[21:36:17] * +James sits down quietly near the others to request the day's spells from the forces of nature.
[21:37:19] <.Bynw> *a voice calls from James left* "Your friend looks as if he is in some pain"
[21:37:51] * +James looks to his left. "He is. Who are you?"
[21:38:35] <.Bynw> *the man standing next to james was known as Jacob when he was introduced to the group by Nym*
[21:39:14] <+James> "Oh, hello Jacob."
[21:40:08] <+James> "Are you here as a friend?"
[21:41:09] <.Bynw> "I am here because I have been following you and protecting you as per the agreement with your Anadari"
[21:42:14] <+T_Shaw> "Can you help Paladin, Jacob?"
[21:42:34] <+Bredock> ((i thought we were out of there shaw))
[21:42:40] <.Bynw> (( t shaw you are in the hole ))
[21:43:04] <+James> "I thank you for that, Jacob."
[21:43:22] <+James> "Can you help Paladin?"
[21:43:29] <.Bynw> "In several ways"
[21:43:38] <+T_Shaw> ((I thought Jacob was in the hole. My bad.))
[21:44:24] <.Bynw> (( jacob is up with andy ))
[21:45:10] <+T_Shaw> ((I know that now))
[21:45:54] <+James> "He's been afflicted with a spell."
[21:47:29] <+James> "Can you get the needles out without killing him?"
[21:47:52] <.Bynw> "If you can remove the metal from his body I can heal him. If he dies i can ... cure that too
[21:49:05] <+James> "The man who is sleeping can remove the metal once he wakes.  I have some healing left, too.  Between us, I think we can save him."
[21:50:52] <.Bynw> *jacob looks up at the sky* "dawn comes early in the warm summer months*
[21:51:03] <.Bynw> ( " )
[21:51:21] <+James> "We need to try soon, then?"
[21:52:49] * Sutekh has joined #Teara-Adan
[21:52:59] <+SgtMacSaltair> ((allo Sutekh))
[21:53:05] <.Bynw> *Jacob* "We need to try now ... "
[21:53:23] * Sutekh has left #Teara-Adan
[21:54:01] <+James> "Okay" :: moves to the sergeant and shakes him gently :: "Sergeant, we need to try to get the needles out of Paladin now."
[21:54:56] * +SgtMacSaltair comes up to one knee by pulling down on James's upper arm and stops with a dagger to Jame's throat
[21:55:03] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Hmph."
[21:55:17] * +SgtMacSaltair edges the blade away
[21:55:36] <+James> "There is a friend here who can help with the healing.  But he bus be gone before daylight."
[21:55:48] <+James> (( he must . . .))
[21:56:00] <+SgtMacSaltair> "You diminished the chances." *glowering reproachfully*
[21:56:25] <+James> "We have no choice.  I don;t have enough healing left myself."
[21:58:16] <+SgtMacSaltair> "It won't be nearly as much as you had hoped."
[21:58:34] * +SgtMacSaltair approaches Paladin and gets to one knee
[21:58:36] <.Bynw> "Just need the metal ripped from his body."
[21:59:06] * +SgtMacSaltair 's mouth quirks ambiguously
[22:00:01] <+James> "This is Jacob.  He can heal Paladin."
[22:00:22] * +Paladin opens his eyes slightly with the nearness of the Sgt.
[22:01:50] <+Paladin> :: Paladin has sat still for so long.. even the slightest movement now feels like sheer agony ::
[22:02:07] * +SgtMacSaltair takes plain pewter ring from his right index finger and shows it to them. It has an inscription on the inside.
[22:04:33] <+SgtMacSaltair> *it's crude Latin*
[22:04:54] <+SgtMacSaltair> "You can have this; I won't be needing it."
[22:06:11] <+James> "I'll keep it for you."
[22:06:57] <+SgtMacSaltair> 'Captivitas verus elabori.'
[22:07:16] * +SgtMacSaltair sets a hand on Paladin
[22:07:45] <+SgtMacSaltair> *a feint warmth spreads through both Paladin and the ring*
[22:08:05] <+SgtMacSaltair> @roll 1d4 percent fragments removed
[22:08:05] <@BoxCars> SgtMacSaltair: 1d4 = ( 1 ) = 1
[22:08:10] <+SgtMacSaltair> (( ouch ))
[22:08:52] * +SgtMacSaltair starts to step back, clearly keeping you three in sight
[22:09:55] <+SgtMacSaltair> "If you don't have time for me to do it properly, then I don't have time to remain here."
[22:10:41] * +SgtMacSaltair is annoyed
[22:10:51] <+James> "I'm sorry.  There's just no time."
[22:11:02] * +SgtMacSaltair continues moving cautiously away
[22:11:30] <+James> "Sergeant, please try again."
[22:11:42] <+James> "Please."
[22:12:57] * +SgtMacSaltair picks up the pace a bit, runs hand through his hair disturbedly and smooths down the front of his uniform with the other
[22:13:54] * +SgtMacSaltair is still moving away
[22:14:39] <.Bynw> *jacob* "Sergeant. Don't run. Help this man and we will let you walk away from us. Run, and you will die."
[22:15:56] <.Bynw> *jacob stands and setup toward the sgt* (( at a move rate of 90 ))

[22:17:14] * +SgtMacSaltair vanishes, leaving the scent of a freshly extinguished forge, only to reappear 10 ft farther away, looking as though he just aborted a fast movement
[22:18:09] <.Bynw> *Jacob moves back to Paladin* "Are you awake?"
[22:18:20] <+Paladin> "yes"
[22:18:38] <.Bynw> *jacob looks at him* "Do you remember who i am?"
[22:18:53] <+Paladin> "no"
[22:19:21] <.Bynw> "You shot me several weeks back." *jacob says*
[22:19:29] <+SgtMacSaltair> "Approach...if you can." *appears in some discomfort*
[22:19:53] <+Paladin> "where?"
[22:20:47] <.Bynw> "Out side of your camp.  Just past the Einarian border. Then the Anadari Nym raised a Wards and attempted to trap me."
[22:20:59] <+Paladin> "wolf?"
[22:21:36] <+Paladin> "werewolf."
[22:21:54] <.Bynw> "I almost gutted someones horse that got in my way. No I am not one of them."
[22:22:40] <+Paladin> "talking.. is difficult.... What do you want from me?"
[22:22:48] <+James> "He's not a werewolf, Paladin."
[22:23:00] <.Bynw> "Your leader called me a leech."
[22:23:39] <+Paladin> "so?"
[22:24:41] <.Bynw> "That one," *he nods his head towards the sgt* "isnt going to save you. I can save you, if you die ... and then bring you across, or take your chances with others that might have the ability to bring back the dead, if they exist even."
[22:25:25] <+Paladin> "If I had the strength. I would kill 'that one'."
[22:25:38] * +SgtMacSaltair turns in a small circle, shrugs dismissively, walks away with a feign of relaxation, stops and sits down with grinding teeth.
[22:26:23] * +Paladin looks Jacob square in the eye..
[22:26:30] <+Paladin> "Do it."
