Ashardaldon Series - Unoptimized KK
Game Master Freddy Honeycutt

Seeing a couple of the orcs attempting to trip... Thedrin decides to show them how it's done.

Trip Flurry: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 and 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

One orc remains standing and attacks Thedrin

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

You are up!

Woah! New posts didn't show up! Not good.

Xane takes a 'five foot step' and tries to flank the Orc who's being menaced by Thedrin, adjusting the grip upon her sword and getting ready to swing.

Holding my attack for this round. Don't want to steal anything/fun from Thedrin. (^_^)

Thedrin takes umbrage at the orc's forward nature and instead leads with both knees...
Dirty flurry (Sicken then shaken): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 and 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Ooo...dice roller decided to like Thedrin. (¬_¬)

No new post notification for me either

Gurukk attacks the orc with his great axe yelling in Orc, "I am about to plant my axe in your face, you should duck if you want to keep it. Oops too late"

Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Dice roller likes Gurukk though

Respen is up!

(>_>)

Respen?

Oh no!!!

Still here watching and waiting. (^_^)

Is anyone else MIA?

*Pats self down* I'm here! (^_^)

*Checks Soot...* Soot's here!

(^_^) You might want to maybe Personal Message folks? Maybe they aren't seeing the indicators that people are posting?

I'm not here either :P

*Pats Thedrin* Heh, there's enough Halfling there fer me! (^_^)

Didn't see any of these new posts, but still here

I'm soo sorry, I got no new posts showed up on mine either and it's been a little chaotic at my job. They changed what coverage they need 6 times in two days. Anyway I'm back baby.[/b]

With a Gallant pose Respen stabs the last orc while flanking with thedrin, "Vile one my lady shall choose if you will live by my skill alone."

[ooc]Attack:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Damage:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Sneak attack:1d6 ⇒ 4
Holy damage:2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

I guess she chooses death for him, Crict confrim:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 Extra Damage:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Thedrin returns and mops the floor with the last remaining orc!

Welcome back SRB!

A quick search turns up a masterwork pickaxe, and 50 gold pieces.

Where to?

Xane checks her doggies and Soot while waiting for the fellows to decide where to head next. (^_~)

Headed for 4c, 4b and then either 8 or 9?

Sounds good. (^_^)

4c, 4b then 9

The wisdom of the fire god prevails once again!

Thedrin walks in the wake of the god of fire's emissary... he clearly knows what needs to burn.

Xane swaggers along, carrying her two new puppies and occasionally reaching down and ruffling Soot affectionately behind the ears. (^_^)

Respen moves in last covering the rear with his rapier drawn.

Gurukk proudly walks in the front, great axe in hand and fire in his heart, ready to face more orc heathens and serve them up to the Fire God

The passageway is narrow but after about 60 feet widens into a chamber
... Layout

Haphazard stacks of crates, barrels, sacks, and bundles litter this long narrow cavern. The orcs appeared to have had some success in their raids of the small settlements and mountain roads in the area. To the north, two finished stone passageways lead east and west; to the south, an old well is full of murky water.

The goods here are mostly bulky and low value.....
blankets, timber, pitch and nails...

Perception checks please!

The passage to the east is completely blocked by crates and sacks of flour.....

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Thedrin looks over the mundane goods with a general interest... thinking primarily of combining his squishy bag of orc ears with the nails to pin them to something... perhaps if he broke apart one of the crates.

Perception DC 18

Perception 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Eye not see well

Perception:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Xane settles her pets and begins picking up and examining crates. Giving them a 'once over' before moving them to one side.

"So...any one hazard a guess as to what's behind this door?" She asks indicating the blocked passageway.

She picks out the loose stone and hefts it absently in one hand while reaching in and lifting out the box hidden within the crevice, which she hands to one of her friends.

"Nice weight..." She muses as she tests the rock for balance.

Perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

"Nice find, we'll have to make a note of any symbols on that stone for further hidden treasures." After that he looks towards the eastern passage and begins to move the bags of flour out the way.

"So...any one hazard a guess as to what's behind this door?" She asks indicating the blocked passageway.

"Dead Dwarves"

"West then? or do we start hauling away the crates"

"Yep hoping they missed some more dwarven treasure!" The halfling winks at the group.

Xane continues to move crates, giving each one a heft to check the weight and maybe have a guess as to what each crate contains.

A The grand stair

The ceiling soars 30 feet high in the center of this impressive chamber, and the walls are carved in images of dwarves at their forges. Two large stone doors exit to the north and south. Several old skeletons lie scattered near the northern door. A gate of wrought iron stands in the western wall.

In the center of the floor, a natural rift descends sharply. Dozens of stone steps lead into darkness. From far below you can hear the distant sound of running water, and a curious buzzing sound.

At the sound of buzzing Xane puts her new doggies down safely and set Soot to guard them. Then she hefts her sword as she gets into 'line' with the rest of her friends, readying to descend the stairs.

Dark-vision 60'

"Hope that isn't bees" Gurukk shudders

Drawing his rapier, Sir Respen Bayleef scans the room and scans any evil they maybe in the room like bees.

Perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Detect Evil

"Don't know what bees'd be doing underground... could be some other insect. We going down?"

Gurukk gulps, "Yar Gurukk says lets do it!"

Xane gives a last check on her doggies and Soot. Crouching down she ruffles Soot's fur and tells her to stay and watch over the other two doggies.

Standing, she hefts her blade and gets ready to march down the stairs. (^_^)

The buzzing grows louder, and then four large flying things- birds, insects, bats it’s hard to say—emerge from the stairwell and arrow toward you!

Knowledge dungoneering or arcane DC 12

Initiative 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 beat that!

Initiative 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Knowledge (arcana) 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

"Stirges, they'll suck the blood right out of you"

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Thedrin sets himself at the ready and states "Well... best we take theirs first aye?"

Initiative:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Xane moves along, simply swatting at the little bugs flitting around her.

Att Roll:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Dam Roll:1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Perception:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

So, what's around here?

Attack stirge with great axe 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Respen tries to pierce the stirge before it pierces him.

Attack:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
