Aubrey's Rise of the Runelords campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Aubrey the Malformed

I must be missing something... The map as I can make, following the instructions is Here. But that makes there no way into the Ogre room, and there should be some stairs in the middle of a corridor? What've I done wrong?

I think I’m missing something, or something is wonky with the description. The room is at A-E 5-7, but the nearest doors are at F4 and F9, and there are stairs at F6. Should the room be at A-E 3-5 instead, with F4 the door in, and the table and the ogre shifted accordingly? Or am I just not getting something?

Not just me then, but couldn't you have posted that *before* I started drawing the map out ;)

Heh. Only if someone had pointed it out before I started drawing the map out. Oh, and you appear to have a misplaced door at G3 too.

Init 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Assuming the door to this room is at F4, Elisile will be standing at G4. She lets fly an arrow at the scar-faced ogre, an arrow that crackles with electricity.
Attack: 12 + 8 + 2 (favoured enemy) +1 (PBS) = 23. Damage: 4 + 2 + 2 (favoured enemy) +1 (PBS) + 4 (electricity) = 13

Indeed, thanks for the catch, I'll update it once Aubrey's confimred things...

Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Yes, the door is at f4. Serves me right for trying to do thae map in my head.

Initiative 7+1=8.

Map

initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Just waiting for init from Veth? Probably need everyone's positions too (presumably the rest of the group is still inside the store room).

I'll take f2.

Put me on top of the stairs in E2.

Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4. E1 for me.

Lay-out: A-I across the top, and 1-17 down the side. The storeroom is E-G/1-2. The stairs back down the cell block are at E2 descending west and the door to the corridor is at G2. The corridor itself is at F-G/3-17. There are doors at G6, G9, G12, G15, F4, F9, F13 and at the end of the corridor at F17. There is a t-junction heading off at E/16-17 and H17. The stairs up are at E6.

This room is at A-E/3-5. The table is at C4. The ogre is at A-B/3-4.

Corrected map description (changed in bold). Sorry for the confusion - I've only just drawn it out myself. Please place yourselves appropriately, based on the above.

Camlo opens the door and he and Elisile take in the horrific scene. With steely resolve she fires on the ogre, and with a crackle her electrically-charged arrow hits home on its vile hide.

I'm going to say that Camlo, the Elisile go first - Camlo opens the door and draws his weapons, and Elisile can fire as above.

Actually, we'll say it was the surprise round. Ogre gets to act this round. Ogre initiative = 1d20 ⇒ 3. Poor ogre.

Init order:
Elisile 20
Camlo 13
Illes 13
Alwyn 8
Hudak 6
Vethran 4
Ogre 3

Elisile.

No change in position for me. And the surprise round gives Camlo a full round of sneak attacks. Nice!

I'll start Illes in F1 as he isn't particularly stealthy

I'll take G2 then.

Elisile brings up another arrow and releases, again targeting the ogre, 8 + 8 + 1 (PBS) + 2 (ranger) = 19, Damage: 2 + 1 + 1 (PBS) + 2 (ranger) + 5 (electricity) = 11.

She then darts away into the store room (move to G1), quickly and breathlessly telling the others what they have seen – “First door on the right – ogre! Just one. Quick, before it alerts this whole place.”

Camlo.

Camlo.

Not sure if Camlo has enough move to attack the ogre, if not, place him in D5.

Camlo takes a deep breath, and moves into the room, hoping the others are following close behind. He swings out with his rapier, getting ready to bring the punching dagger to bear too.

Move to C3, Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 271d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

He's still flatfooted - you get sneak attack damage too.

Ah, cool...3d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 3) = 5 + 3 bleed damage (keeps recurring every round until the ogre gets healed).

I'm not sure if Illes is next or there was a surprise round for Elisile and Camlo so they go again now.

We've already done our surprise round (Elisile shot and Camlo drew his weapons), is it is Illes now.

Is Camlo in C3?

Is Camlo in C3?

I would assume yes, he told me to add sneak attack damage, which implies I hit...

When Elisile conveys what is going on, Illes darts down the hallway Vethran's wand still in hand. He slips just inside the room and levels it at the mad ogre willing it to do... something. And nothing happens.

MA: 30' to E5
SA: UMD (DC 20) 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 = fail.
How many charges does this wand of enfeeblement have Fates? Full?
Current status: Right wand wand, left hand shield, no threat.

btw- the Sihedron Medallion will conflict with the body slot of my Badge of Valor that allows me to hit +5 inspire courage 3x/day. So Camlo, Hudak? Who wants +1 on all saves, false life 1/day and possibly some kind of evil taint?

Ooh ooh, me, me! I did say that the first time round, but hey :)

Sorry. I must have missed it. Shoulda reminded me. I was only taking it to put it to use rather than throwing it in a sack as it was unclaimed as far as I saw.

Don't worry about it, I would have shouted louder if I was too concerned.

Sorry, was updating my map and missed that you did say you'd move to C3 ... carry on ...

The evil taint is a bonus.

Alwyn's up.

Ah, the joys of heavy armour... Move to E5.

Hudak is next.

No, not full. 28 charges remaining.

Ah, the joys of heavy armour... Move to E5.

Hudak is next.

Illes is in e5.....

Hudak to c5

attacking two handed bastard sword power attack

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Camlo; more h.p.'s for the rogue is cool.

Don't you start.

Crap! E4 it is, then.

Veth.

Vethran draws a wand from his robes and activates it, his hand shimmering with a pale red light.

Drawing the wand of vampiric touch and activating it. Holding the charge to be used later. 5' step to F2.

As the ogre blinks stupidly, Camlo ducks in and slashes its ankle, a small wound which nevertheless bleeds freely. Hudak follows, his blow over-eager and going wide. The ogre decides to split its attacks between the two assailants that are close, and plunges its hook into Camlo's flesh before the return swing slashes Hudak.

26 and 20 to hit Camlo and Hudak respectively, 28 damage to Camlo, 30 damage to Hudak. Ouch!

Top of the round, Elisile.

<gulp>

Hudak's got a 21 AC, so he gets missed. Camlo, though... ouch indeed.

Unfortunately, he was using his sword two-handed, which negates the benefits of his buckler.
