Larry: Wild. A black ball flying down.
Geoff: Very slow, cause he doesn't want to impact on the ground. Okay, you get 300 feet from
the ground -- by the way, this is a mile drop -- the griffons start a recovery [from
the dive].
Tony: Hang on a sec, Geoff, you say he's flying?
Geoff: Yeah, but he can't see where he's going.
John: The dragons are taken care of.
Geoff: Yeah.
Tony: I meant the guys that are flying.
Chris: Yeah, one's got darkness on him, what about the other one?
Geoff: He's dead. His dragon was cut in half. Any way they pull out of the dive, they land,
and there's an encampment there.
Larry: Of who?
Geoff: Of the same people that were on top.
Larry: Give the parchment to the nearest person.
Geoff: He starts reading it ... "into the corral." In there, you see these kind of beasts,
they're 2-legged, they have tails, they look almost like an ostrich, but their neck is
a lot --
Tony: Oh, I've seen those.
Geoff: [?] big heads.
Larry: These are the ones that cast fireballs with their eyes.
Chris: When we land, I turn around and I keep an eye on that fucking black ball coming down
to the ground.
Geoff: He's going so slow --
Tony: I could dispel him and make him fall.
Larry: He's probably flying naturally.
Tony: That's what I thought, that's why I didn't want to.
Chris: [?]
Geoff: It'll be about an hour.
Tony: Geoff, just where he's about to land, a delayed blast fireball.
Chris: It'll be an hour before he lands.
Larry: The longest delay is 5 rounds.
Tony: Forget it.
John: So put it just under him.
Geoff: Let the guys [the NPCs] take care of it, you�11 be out of there. This guy tells you,
these beasts have little sacs under their eyes, you're gonna be riding, they cast
fireballs from there. You can't tell them when, they�ll do it on their own. These guys
can ride 2 days with us.
Larry: Well, the sooner we start ...
Chris: Where are we going?
Geoff: To Plume Mountain. It's going to be 2 days to get there. As you're leaving you can see
arrows flying down. But you get out of there.
Larry: 2 days? ... heal.
John: Heal.
Anthony: I got 187 hit points damage. How much do we get every day, 5?
Geoff: In this terrain --
Larry: Do you have any other way to heal?
Anthony: No.
Larry: Oh, my God.
Geoff: In this terrain, these beasts can only travel halfway to the mountain. Because of the
terrain. Normally, in plains or stuff, they can go 2 days.
Chris: I don't understand this. We're inside at the bottom of the Rift?
John: Yeah.
Chris: And what are we riding to?
Geoff: It's a volcano.
Chris: I see. Okay.
John: It's called White Plume mountain.
Geoff: You camp for the night.
John: Guards.
Geoff: Who's guarding?
John: I do.
Geoff: Just you or --
John: Double guards.
Anthony: I'll guard with him.
Geoff: You can sense evil around -- the fire goes out, and there's big thick black smoke.
John: Let's get the fuck out of there!
Larry: That's a magic-user spell!
Chris: Move.
Geoff: Initiative.
Anthony: Wake up the party.
Geoff: 6.
John: 6.
Chris: I just fucking tear out of the area.
Geoff: Where the fire was, you can see a dark figure standing there, and the ground -- it's
ground there now, there's no fire -- the ground is red, and it's moving, out in a
circle, looks like lava.
John: Mmm.
Chris: Okay, I move out of the area, and I just fire on it.
Tony: Geoff, I don't know what damage this particular cold spell will do to him, beyond the
normal damage, 75, cone of cold.
Chris: What's his armor class!
Geoff: -10. You can hear noises behind you, also. In various areas.
John: I'm keeping my eyes on where the other noises are coming from.
Larry: Same here.
Geoff: Tony, what was that damage from?
Tony: Cone of cold. It's cold based, does it do anything extra to him that I see?
Geoff: You don't notice anything.
Tony: Okay.
Larry: Geoff ... 60 points from a cone of cold.
Tony: Yeah, Lar. Yeah.
Larry: Bigger.
Geoff: Each person make a saving throw versus spells 3 times.
Larry: I'm getting tired of this 3 time business -- Tony, what kind of fucking candy are you
eating, it's turning my stomach!
John: Yes.
Tony: What, aspartame.
Larry: It's gross!
Tony: It's Freedent.
Larry: It's carcinogenic.
Tony: Made my saves, all 3 times.
Chris: Geoff, I'll fire 6 arrows into this bag of crap and give him 102 points of damage.
Anthony: 75 into that guy.
Geoff: Did you make your saving throws?
Tony: Yes, I did.
Geoff: 65.
Tony: What was it?
Larry: Yes, no, yes.
Geoff: Do you have a ring of fire resistance?
Larry: No.
Geoff: 76.
John: What are they firing at us?
Geoff: They're using fireball, lightning bolt, and firestorm [?].
John: Immune to the fireball, immune to the lightning bolt.
Geoff: Immune to them?
John: Yeah.
Geoff: You get 21.
Anthony: [?] get half with my [red dragon] scale.
Geoff: Take a quarter. If you made all your saves.
Anthony: I made all 3.
Geoff: You get 40. Chris, [?]. It's still alive, behind you, there are demons.
John: That's the ones I'm going to try to take care of.
Geoff: They're dretch demons, big fat ugly things.
Tony: Alright, Geoff, I�m using a frost brand [sword] now.
John: 6 [for initiative].
Geoff: [apparently loses initiative.] With the flashes of light and fireballs, it's a witch
that's standing in the middle.
Chris: I�m picking the bitch off. Those little geeks we were riding on, what are they doing,
are they freaking out and firing off little fireballs everywhere?
Geoff: They're standing back, they don't want to fire off fireballs, cause they're right
there.
Chris: Oh. Okay.
Larry: How many dretches are there?
Geoff: 12.
Larry: Christ, everything comes in dozens now.
Geoff: They're armor class 2.
Chris: Somebody haste me.
Larry: Haste.
John: Thank you.
Chris: Good.
John: Does decapitation work on these guys?
Geoff: No. They don't have a neck.
Anthony: Geoff, 160 on the witch. Normal arrows, +4 bow.
Geoff: Who's using hand-held weapons?
John: I am.
Tony: I am.
Chris: I am.
Geoff: You'd have to stand in the lava.
John: I'm going after the demons.
Geoff: Oh, okay.
John: How big are these, Geoff?
Chris: 116 points damage on the witch, with the bow.
Larry: Geoff, Andrew gives 142 to the witch.
John: Geoff, 96 points damage on the demon, does he drop?
Geoff: On one, he's dead.
John: Okay, another one, 84.
Geoff: Dead.
Larry: What are the dretches' armor class?
Geoff: 2.
Tony: Geoff, arrows on the witch, 259. I'm hasted.
Chris: Yeah, I still got 6 more shots to do. I forgot I was hasted.
John: Don't forget, you age from that.
Tony: I should have hasted myself, I wouldn't have aged.
Chris: [?] points of damage.
Larry: Is the witch alive?
Geoff: Still alive. It's encased in fire. You see all these insects coming at you.
Larry: How healthy does the witch look?
Geoff: Almost dead. There's an insect plague, your vision is down to 3 feet. [?] the dretch.
Tony: Geoff, those insects --
John: Initiative.
Geoff: It's my turn.
Larry: There were a dozen dretches?
Geoff: You attacked the witch, didn't you?
Larry: No, Andrew did.
Geoff: Oh, okay. They're not in one group. They're surrounding --
Larry: I just got out 12 shots.
Geoff: Okay, give me damage for each one.
Larry: 22. That's an average, cause I added them all up. This haste is insane. I can empty
a quiver in 2 rounds.
Geoff: Tony, you're being telekinesed toward where the witch was.
Tony: Do I get a saving throw on spells?
Geoff: No. You can try to grab onto something on the way.
Tony: Dispel it.
