Ashardaldon Series - Unoptimized KK
Game Master Freddy Honeycutt

I believe the next port of call is through the back of 12 (where we are now) and into area 2?

Sounds like a plan! Thedrin. (^_^)

Xane continues to make 'snooky' noises over how clever Soot is for only a little while longer before checking on and collecting her two bound wolves. (^_^)

The secret door slides aside to reveal a narrow passage descending a flight of stairs to open into a small chamber below. Light from outside slants into the room through a series of narrow embracures, posts for archers watching the entrance to the dwarf-halls.

This is the area the archers had shot at you from before. A few quivers of arrows lean against the walls near the openings.

Soot and his magical appendages, tie around the new wolves and force them into pack order......

Soot be a girl doggy.

alpha female........

As you wait in the archers gallery soon enough the Orcs find you!

A group of 5 orcs burst into the room and attack from the far end of the hallway!

Initiative 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Thedrin reacts to the arrival with the salivating glee of an ear connisseur.

Xane steps in front of Soot and her other two doggies, again telling them to 'stay'.

As the Orc's javelin whistles past her ear, Xane straightens and frowns.

Initiative:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

She draws her falcata and advances inexorably upon her foes.

Respen and Big G.....?

Initiative 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Gurruk points at one of them sending some fire at them. After that he advances closer to them with his axe.

Ranged Touch 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Fire Damage 1d6 ⇒ 2

Respen smirks at the orcs failed attempt and lets loose a stone from his sling, "Proven here, a blind old women could throw better then any of these hertic orks!haha"

Sling shot:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage:1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

You have won initiative and the orcs seem not to understand missing with every attack...

you are up!

Att Roll:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Dam Roll:1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Gurukk and Respen team up to take down an Orc off to the left.

Xane steps up in a big way pretty much taking the orc out with a single blow.

The orc is dead and he knows it, but ferociously he will fight on in the coming round.....

Thedrin bounds forward to further his lifelong obsession with introducing humanoids to the ground forcibly.

Trip flurry: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 and 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Gurukk will hit that orc in the face with his axe

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

*spits* "Filthy traitor"

Sir Respen!

Drawing his rapier he flanks the ork with his fellow halfling, "Don't worry my friend will put your ears to good use, may Imoedae watch over them." With that he stabs the creature.

Strike:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Damage:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Sneak attack:1d6 ⇒ 2
Holy damage:2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7

Damage 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Gurukk's axe goes into the side of an orc, just under the breast-plate, the cut is a good one, though the orc still has some fight left in him!

"Great!"

Gnome Hook hammer
Hammer B
Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

As the tottering Orc swings wildly and completely ineffectually at Xane she just sighs and waits for it to maybe make a serious attempt at hitting her. :P

Kick and punch, groin and throat...

Dirty Flurry (Sicken and Shake): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 and 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Rake and tear, eyes and cheek...

Dirty Flurry (Blind and Shaken): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 and 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Gurukk kills another orc, though it will not fall until next time!

Xane and Respen!

Even as the Orc's swing barely misses her, Xane stands seeming indecisive as she looks from hand to hand.

1d2 ⇒ 2

1) Fist, 2) Sword

Att Roll:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27(Falcata)

Dam Roll:1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

The final orc falls from a mighty blow, he would have had another swing at someone, but instead the two ropes from Soot's back whipped around the creatures ankles and tripped it back-wards. On the floor it snarls and swings.....

1d20 ⇒ 16

Kicking at Xane
1d4 ⇒ 3

Xane

At seeing Soot's dealing with the last Orc, Xane actually squeals in delight. Jumping and hugging and ruffling Soot's fur as she praises her fantastic furry companions. (^_^)

Noted DM Kender Kin.

Respen checks the orcs for any intresting items and let's his teammate take his prize.

Perception:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Humming to himself "Ears glorious ears... full of lovely earwax... ears wonderous ears... hopefully are worth a gold stack" Thedrin does what he does.

Plenty of Javelins, scalemail, and assorted stuff.

Coins 200 gold.

Pretty much at the point if you have seen one dead orc you have seen them all....

Xane continues to make goo-goo happy noises with/at Soot. (^_^)

Dm assumes you set camp and get well rested.

Where to?

Um....after the care and feeding of all Xane's puppies....Gee, that's a thought. How are we feeding Soot and the other two? We might have to head back to town to pick up more food? Thoughts? Suggestions?

I've got a bag full of doggie chew toys he Soot might like?

Orc....dog chow ;)

Orc....dog chow ;)

:P If Xane won't eat it. Soot isn't going to either! ;)

Back down the long hall-way and approaching room #7....

Sounds good to me. (^_^) *Looks about for the other adventurous lot*

Respen moves the down the hall way with the group staying alert.

Perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Barrels, crates and sacks of foodstuffs line the walls of this chamber. Among the loot, four oversized straw pallets and other simple furnishings show that this room now serves as a bunkroom. Four bestial humaniods with feral eyes are cleaning their weapons and mending their gear, they spring to their feet flails in hand and roar in challenge!

The Orcs quickly get up and pair up to attack!

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Att Roll:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Dam Roll:1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Provoking an AoO from some nearby bad guy.
