Tony: Spanning the chasm.
John: I dropped the sword.
Tony: One wall to the other. You said 15 feet.
Anthony: Unless, John, you catch it with one hand.
John: Yeah, I could catch it with one hand. I'm strong enough. Yeah, okay, I don't lose the
sword, Larry.
Geoff: You gonna block them [?]
Tony: They're underneath? Already? Forget it, I wanted to [?]
Geoff: Anyone looking up, you can see the things coming back down to get you.
Anthony: Keep going across, get across. Are we across this thing?
Geoff: Uh, you 2 are, John and the last 2 are not.
Anthony: Take a fireball arrow, to this thing.
Geoff: -10.
Larry: Geoff, its tongue is really sticky eh?
Geoff: Yeah.
Larry: I'll put a web spell on it.
John: Oh, fuck.
Larry: That should take care of it for a while.
Geoff: Okay.
Tony: You brought web? You were telling me not to take web, it's no good.
Larry: So don't listen to me.
Tony: I shouldn't. I should've learned by now.
John: Swing me across that rope.
Geoff: There are 2 others.
John: Let's get the fuck out of this cave.
Chris: Okay, I help the other 2 across. I just grab one end of the rope and fucking yank.
Geoff: You get beyond the point where they can reach.
Larry: Good.
Tony: 36 on one, 66 on the other.
Geoff: On what?
Tony: You said there were 2 more of these things?
Geoff: Yeah ...what are you hitting, the cavefishers, or the tongues themselves?
Tony: The tongues with fireballs.
Geoff: Okay.
Larry: All that fire for so little tongue.
Tony: It comes out of a wand. What the hell.
Geoff: Anthony?
Anthony: 96.
Geoff: Okay, you see this black thing [fall down the chasm].
Chris: Ah, we're actually getting to see this fucking thing fall.
Anthony: Hey, it doesn't have much hit points.
Geoff: Yeah, it's only about 6 feet long.
Anthony: Where does it put that fucking tongue?
John: Let's not do too much damage, so the guys following us can meet these things.
Tony: It's already dead.
Geoff: There's still 3 left -- you think.
John: I don't think we're taking this door out, this was one-way.
Chris: Okay, let's keep going.
Geoff: You travel for another 400 feet, meandering, there are short cut-offs, they all end
in dead ends, or little caverns, filled with cold water. You come to one, it's huge
and there are 3 dragons in there. They are --
Chris: Dead?
[TAPE CHANGE]
Geoff: They are brass dragons.
Anthony: They're good, aren't they?
Geoff: They're looking at you --
Anthony: Lawful good.
John: "We're friends. We don't mean no harm."
Geoff: "Prove it."
John: I start talking in lawful good.
Geoff: "Why are you here?"
John: "We're here to destroy something." I use -- I have natural ability to detect lie. If
these guys are lying. "Are you real brass dragons?"
Geoff: "Yeah." There's 2 adults, male, female, there's one young, he's peeping his head out
of [?]
John: "I'm honored to meet such great dragons."
Geoff: Everybody, saving throw on spells, cause you feel spells coming at you, it's probably
the typical ones, know alignment, detect lie, all that crap.
Tony: Made it.
Anthony: Made it, with a 20. How many times?
Geoff: 3. The dogs failed.
John: I say, "We're all looking for a giant. We're looking for a giant that's supposed to be
in the Rift Canyon, that can destroy artifacts. Can you help us in any way?"
Geoff: "Why do you need the artifact destroyed? What is it?"
Anthony: "An evil one."
Tony: Tell him, John.
Geoff: "Where does it come from?"
John: Okay. "It is from the Abyss. As a paladin I cannot let this weapon stay on the Prime
Material Plane."
Geoff: The female says she�ll escort you to his chamber.
Larry: "Whose chamber?"
Geoff: "The person you seek."
Anthony: Excellent.
Larry: We found someone who doesn't want to kill us.
John: I also tell the dragon, "Try to hide your young, because we know we have an army, an
evil army following us. There's no way we can stop them, 7 guys."
Geoff: "If they're foolish enough to come in here, they won't leave [live?]." Okay, they lead
you downward, you figure maybe about 1000 feet, not all steps, there are some steps,
big fucking steps, and ramps ... it gets hot as soon as you get to the bottom where it
levels out, and it's a huge cavern, but it's chambered off by big boulders,
stalagmites that touch the ground, cause they�re old. You can hear a banging [of
steel on steel].
Anthony: A blacksmith.
Geoff: The dragon just meanders through it. It's getting very hot, comes to a big chamber,
there's a river of lava flowing through it, very slowly. There's a big, big anvil
sitting there, the size of a car. There's this big fucking creature, he's about 50
feet tall, and he's fat. He's got a big hammer, and he's holding a big sword [and
working on it]. The sword is too big for a human to handle.
John: "Excuse me --
Chris: No, we'll let the dragon introduce us.
Geoff: The dragon's 30 feet long, so it's smaller than the giant. The giant looks down at the
dragon, and he looks over at you guys. He starts walking toward you, you can feel the
ground rumble a little. He sits down in front of you, and he asks, "Do you have the
wand of Orcus?"
John: "Yes."
Geoff: "Can I see it?"
John: "Uh sure."
Geoff: "You hesitated. I will lower my defenses, you can use any kind of spell on me that you
want." You see his eyes close, his face just goes blank.
Chris: Hand him the fucking thing.
John: I hand him the --
Geoff: He's waiting for spells to be used on him.
John: "I just say that I�m sorry that I --
Geoff: A few seconds later, you see this tiny little figure about this high appear right in
front of him, and it throws something at the giant. The giant screams in agony,
crumbles down --
Tony: Shit.
Geoff: The little figure is looking at you -- or whoever's holding the wand, "Marlenus, I want
it."
Larry: Wall of force. Around it.
Tony: Reinforce it.
Geoff: It [?] out of the way.
Tony: Reinforce another one.
Geoff: It jumps up in the air, comes down on the ground, and there's a big black mark on the
ground, and you can feel the wind being sucked in there slowly.
Tony: Wall of force, hold it up.
Anthony: I grab hold of Larry, grab onto the rocks.
Geoff: The magic-users can tell it's a gate.
Tony: Shit.
Chris: Fucking back off, man.
Anthony: I grab hold of Larry, and I grab hold of a rock.
Geoff: Yeah.
Anthony: And I hold onto him just in case he gets sucked in there.
Geoff: Oh, it's not strong enough to pull anybody in.
Anthony: Oh, okay.
Tony: I put a wall in front of Larry. Wall of force in front of Larry.
Anthony: I hang onto him, anyway.
Geoff: Okay.
Anthony: What happened to the dragon?
Geoff: The dragon didn't have a chance to do any thing.
Anthony: Where is she?
Geoff: It's still there, it's at the giant.
John: I tell the dragon, "please leave."
Geoff: It's trying to see if the giant's still alive.
John: "This is not your fight."
Larry: What is the little figure doing?
Geoff: It's gone, it went into the gate.
John: I tell the dragon, "it's not your fight, you can leave."
Tony: Yeah, just keep our back door --
Larry: What's with the giant?
Geoff: It's just barely alive.
Anthony: Heal him.
John: Oh --
Chris: Resurrection.
Geoff: Nothing's working.
John: Nothing's working, it's really fucked. Who has a wish?
Chris: I do.
Tony: Limited wish, I've got it. [?]
Geoff: The giant calls the person over, with the wand.
Larry: Yeah.
Tony: Do you -- Jesus Christ!
Larry: What?
Tony: But -- alright.
Geoff: What, Tony?
Tony: Nothing. We're gonna flank Larry.
Chris: I wish the giant [?]
Geoff: It�ll give a few more rounds.
Chris: Okay, [?]
Geoff: The giant calls Marlenus over. Not by name, he doesn't know your name.
Larry: If he said my name, I'd fucking kill him.
Geoff: "I cannot --" John!
John: Sorry.
Geoff: "I cannot destroy this for you now. There is one other way. You must get to the Abyss.
Before you get into the Abyss, cast 3 of these spells I'm going to name off on the
wand. They will appear like they don't do anything, but cast them anyway. 3 of these
spells: time stop, power word kill, glassteel, any symbol, vanish, disintegrate,
exorcise. Any 3 of those, cast it on it, and then go to the Abyss."
Tony: I�ve got vanish.
Larry: I've got disintegrate.
Geoff: "When you get to the Abyss, find a color pool, or a vortex, into the negative plane.
That's where you cast that wand. That will destroy it."
Larry: That's it? Why don't we mail it there?
John: Special delivery.
Anthony: They're probably on strike.
