Larry: Okay, we're all on my island. My island is on the Azure Sea. Okay? We've all gathered there because we all have a problem. The reason we are there is because someone is trying to kill each one of us. Now, this happens all the time, but this has been a concerted effort by somebody to try to kill each one of us -- repeatedly, and so far, we've managed to, you know, kill whatever the hell is trying to attack us. We realize that all seven of us have been targets so we start thinking that maybe it's the same person that's doing all of this shit. So, we got together at my island -- I hear that Chris and Anthony came down by land and were picked up by one of John's ships and came into Freeport. Andrew, I don't know how you got here -- hitchhiked?
John: No, I'll pick him up.
Larry: Now, in Marlenus' palace there's a large room with a large table, looks something like this, and we are gathered around it just like we are now, and we are discussing what we can do about this problem.
Tony: When did it start?
Larry: Oh, it's been happening for a few weeks. Now we have uh, Marlenus has some clerics and sages and shit, looking for the person responsible for all this and they should come up with an answer pretty soon. Because whoever's doing this is not really trying to be secretive, they're just trying to fucking kill us. There's windows in this room, you can see outside, you can see the port, if you have a ship here, you can see the ship.
Chris: Armor class.
Larry: You hear a bell ringing, just faintly, outside.
Geoff: Ask Marlenus what it is.
Larry: Marlenus says, "Trouble".
John: Already.
Larry: Tony. You're grabbed by something from behind you. You take 64 points of damage.
Chris: Hold on a second. Can I make a point here?
John: What?
Chris: He's got back protection.
Larry: That's nice. Geoff, 48.
Chris: Okay, just bringing it up.
Larry: You can't see anything.
Tony: Is it still holding me?
Larry: Yes.
Tony: Fire shield.
Larry: You can't cast a spell, your arms are held. What do you do?
John: Ah! Dimension door.
Tony: Teleport.
Anthony: I jump over --
Larry: With what?
Tony: Teleport doesn't need a somatic component.
Larry: The spell?
Tony: Yes. To the other side of the room -- to a corner of the room that I see that's empty ... alright, 1 segment to do it.
Geoff: How did I get damage? Is somebody holding me?
Larry: Yes. You teleport -- it's with you.
Chris: Are we sitting in basically the same way that we're sitting here?
Larry: Yeah.
Chris: I jump the table and attack whatever's behind him.
Anthony: Yeah.
John: Yeah. I’m not touched, I go after whatever's after Tony.
Chris: We're talking about this Tony. This is Anthony [S] and this is Tony [R].
Anthony: There's nothing touching me.
John: There's nothing touching you.
Anthony: Tony.
Geoff: Lar, is he holding my arms?
Larry: Yes.
John: Oh. Okay. I go after his.
Anthony: I grab hold of Geoff’s.
Larry: Okay, you can feel this –
Anthony: I can feel it.
John: Invisible stalker.
Anthony: Can I pull it off?
Larry: You can try.
Anthony: I try pulling it off.
Larry: Armor class -4.
Anthony: -4? Good.
Tony: Alright. I free a hand? One hand?
Larry: What's your strength?
Tony: 18 - 76.
Larry: No, you can't manage.
Chris: Do I find what's behind him?
Larry: Yes.
Anthony: I hit 4 times with my fist.
Chris: Ok, I'll hit it. What's the armor class?
Tony: What is it?
Larry: -4.
Anthony: I hit it 4 times, one of them was a 20. Like, I grabbed it and punched it. Want me to give you damage?
Andrew: Okay, is there anything else in the room going crazy?
Larry: No, just these two.
Anthony: Do you want me to give you damage?
Larry: Yeah, damage, damage. This is on Geoff's'?
Anthony: Yeah.
John: No, I'm going after Geoff's.
Geoff: Ah, so I won't move then.
Andrew: Okay, who needs help?
Anthony: Tony.
Andrew: Okay, dimension door behind Tony, grab the thing, knife it.
Geoff: Takes time to recover from that.
Larry: -4.
Anthony: 52 points damage to the thing that's on Geoff.
Larry: Okay.
Geoff: [to Andrew] That's the armor class on the top and on the bottom is what you need to hit.
John: Hah! Larry. Whatever's on Geoff, 100 points of damage.
Andrew: How many attacks do I get with my dagger?
Larry: Three.
Chris: 108 points of damage.
Larry: How much?
Chris: One-oh-eight. Do I see any blood spurting from –
Larry: No, you don't see any blood, but. you can tell you're damaging it.
John: Okay.
Tony: What is this, Chris?
Chris: I don't know what it is. Probably an invisible stalker or some- thing.
John: Geoff's stalker, I gave 100 points to Geoff's stalker.
Anthony: Can we hit again?
Larry: Initiative.
John: Who goes?
Chris: Roll somebody. Thank you.
Larry: Six.
Anthony: One.
Chris: Fuck, John, next time you roll.
Geoff: Let's designate a roller or take turns.
Chris: Take turns.
Anthony: Let's just put these two here. Put these two here.
John: Okay.
Andrew: Larry, 188 points of damage on one.
John: Tony, you're gonna roll the initiative with Chris, back and forth, not right now, but ...
Larry: Oh, that's from the last round.
Chris: Yeah, that's from the last round, so it's 108 plus 108.
Andrew: 188.
Larry: It's dead.
Andrew: Okay.
Tony: Which one?
Andrew: The one on you --
Larry: Geoff, 20 points.
Anthony: Our turn?
Larry: Yes.
Andrew: Anybody else need help?
John: Larry?
Anthony: Geoff.
Larry: Yes.
John: When the vorpal is activated on this, does it cut? Cause I rolled a 20. Does it cut bad enough --
Chris: Yeah, cause I rolled a 19, it would have decapitated it.
John: Yeah, it usually decapitates it.
Larry: It's more of a force than a creature.
John: Right.
Chris: Well, we'll cut a portion of the force off, now, won’t we?
Larry: What's the damage?
John: Well, maximum damage?
Larry: Yeah.
John: From that one shot?
Larry: Yeah, give me maximum damage.
Anthony: 60 points, 60 points on the one [?]
Larry: Okay.
Chris: Another 100. On the one that's on Geoff's back.
Larry: It's dead.
Andrew: Never mind my damage then.
Geoff: Grab it, feel it, see what kind of -- see if I can figure out what it is.
Larry: It's an aerial servant.
Geoff: Ah-hah.
John: Aerial servant.
Tony: Didn't even get to roll a save.
John: Check the room for more stuff like that hanging in the corners.
Chris: Detect magic.
Geoff: Do any of the magic-users have speak with dead?
