Myron holds up a hand to halt the group. From the shadows he points at the two tunnels above our position.

"Two men up there. They don't seem to have spotted us. "

I don't see anything with my perception of 41??

I think it got lost in your blurb.

Xallihion points his hand below the current position.

There are some trogs down there as well. They don't seem malevolent yet; they're just eating fungus off the wall. We could easily get to them if we wanted to.

Is my Mutagen still in effect?

"Only two ? Surley not even humans are so stupid that they think they only need two to kill us? They are pack hunters, there are probably more about ...

sorry Yzx, didn't see you get the 41, you see

"Just say when and I'll shoot at the humans."
About how far away are they?

Would not that be a waste? Why not Dominate them?

Yzx informs his companions of what he's learned, including the information on the explosives.

200ft away

"Does anyone feel they are the stealthiestl or shall I take point on this?"

I'm probably about as stealthy as you.

Same Modifier, +20

"Perhaps we could go ahead of the others and sew the seeds of Chaos among our enemies. Then our compatriats can come in and wreak havok. Sounds fun to me. Shall we?"

Very well. Is this agreeable with the rest of you?

Presuming yes.

Myron waves his hand in a flourish from waist to forehead while muttering a short incantation he vanishes from sight. (invisiblity)

Myron carefully proceeds forward searching for traps and keeping his "sight" open (aka detect magic).

Stealth 1d20 + 40 ⇒ (7) + 40 = 47

Perception 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 20 = 39

"Agreeable. I could give you the benefit of half a minute invisibly, if you want to stack the odds even more in our favour?

Vanish gives 5 rounds of invisibly - should be enough to cover 200 feet...

Myron

to Xal and group;

"Watch the trip wires.(Describe where they are using landmarks)"

Using his innate levatate ability Myron floats to the ceiling and uses the wall/ceiling to move himself along to his prey. (it looks creepy, like a spider)Still stealthed and looking for traps on the ceiling and floor.

stealth 1d20 + 40 ⇒ (10) + 40 = 50

Percep1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40

Myron

Myron

Xahillion will accept the offer of invisibility.

Stealth1d20 + 40 ⇒ (18) + 40 = 58

Perception1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

Xahillion will use his levitate as well, pushing himself along with ease.

Myron skitters against the wall approching the humans. He's going to take a good look to guage how many and what their apparent plan was.

Not sure what rolls you want, but here is my best guess

Number of humans perception1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22

Trying to figure out their plan; Int check 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Well those rolls sucked. Can I take 10 on the int check as I look over the situation and am in no particular danger?

Myron sure,
Xallihion, you get pass unnoticed, where you going?

I'll go up to the other group of humans, I suppose. That wouldn't happen to be within the 100ft Telepathy range of either Myron or the others, would it?

I'll go up to the other group of humans, I suppose. That wouldn't happen to be within the 100ft Telepathy range of either Myron or the others, would it?

I would think we would stay in telepathic communication. We're working together after all.

Yeah, but I'm not sure we can reach that far with our telepathy.

its within 100ft of Myron but more than 100ft away from the rest of the group

Myron skitters against the wall approching the humans. He's going to take a good look to guage how many and what their apparent plan was.

Not sure what rolls you want, but here is my best guess

Number of humans perception1d20+20

Trying to figure out their plan; Int check 1d20+10

Well those rolls sucked. Can I take 10 on the int check as I look over the situation and am in no particular danger?

Still waiting on the response to this so I can share the information with Xal.

a right...there are 3 humans in one tunnel, and 4 in the other

Myron

telepathically to Xal;

"Three humans in this tunnell 4 in the other. "

Would you consider "stinking cloud" to be a direct attack? If yes it breaks invisibility. If no it doesnt. It's a conjuration effect and Invisibility specificically mentions that summoning monsters doesnt break invisibility.

no, stink cloud isn't a direct attack

Myron skitters down the wall to get back within telepathic range of the group. Also relaying the same thing to Xal along the way.

"Three humans in the (describe location) and four in the other (describe location). I can send one tunnel screaming. When you hear the signal come mop up. Mind the trip wires though (reminds everyone where they are). Sound good?"

Very well. Then, you can maneuver yourself to get to the others, and you can either recruit some of our group, or I'll be over once I've finished here.

Xahillion makes his way to the requested location, waiting for Myron to set off his cloud.

Am I still under the effect of my mutagen? It lasts an hour, and I used it fighting the intellect devourer.

"Xallihion, can you mindblast or otherwise incapicate the smaller group? I'll do what I can for the tunnel with the four."
Assuming everyone is agreement Myron heads to a position in the tunnell with the 4 and gets in place behind them.

Stealth 1d20 + 40 ⇒ (17) + 40 = 57

Myron places to pieces of folded wrinkled paper from his pocket on the ground just outside the line of sight of the enemies. He then moves to the otherr side of the cavern wheere he can see the papers and the group against the far wall. Using mage hand he flicks the papers toward the group so they seem to drift in on small currents of wind.

Still invisible he waits for them to notice the papers. They unfold easily and in very simple common say "Hello world" of if slaves typically can't read it is a pictograph. They are explosive runes

The plan:
When the notice and read the explosive runes the reader takes 6d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 6, 2, 6, 3) = 25force damage (no save) and those within 10 feet get reflex save for half (DC 24).

Myron will be well out of the rune range and cast stinking cloud (DC 25) to herd them toward the edge near the cavern. After he casts he'll move into position for a mnd blast. Myron can and does stand within the stkining cloud without issue thanks to his amulet of adaptation.

The following round he will set himself up to deliver his mind blast. (DC 17; or be stunned for 1d3 ⇒ 2 rounds.

After that Myron will have to adapt his plans on the fly.

If the read both papers or if one explosive runes explosion sets off the other here is the second roll as needed. 6d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 1, 5, 4, 6) = 22

Very well.

Xahillion opens up with a mind blast (DC 15, Stunned for 3d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 3) = 9 rounds). He will then move forward, attacking first the ones that made their save, and next the ones that didn't.

Just reiterating my question concerning mutagen, so it doesn't get lost. Is it still affecting me from the Intellect devourer fight?

yes you are still under the effect of the mutagen

Using his innate abilities, Yzx floats over the tripwires and up towards the humans. He hangs back however, ready to assist should his allies require it.

Haruhito will maintain a discrete distance, waiting to provide assistance / healing as and when needed...

right the events play out as follows:
Myron's group set off the explosive runes, the resulting explosion kills the readers (so thats 2 down) and hurts baddly the other 2, which then get hit by a stink cloud and seem to be affected
Xahillion's group gets hit by a mindblast at the same time, stunning 2 of the 3
can we have a roll for initiative?

Initiative 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Are either of the stunned men near the edge of the cave outcropping?

Initiative1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Xahillion will move to engage the unstunned human, biting towards him.

Bite attack:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26
Bite Damage:1d8 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

If he still hasn't seen me, apply 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 4) = 12 sneak attack damage.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 Initiative

The psychic warrior continues to wait to see if his aid is needed.

looks like your plans worked fairly well
Init:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Vecthan will go for the non stunned one from the mind blast
(using Rapid Shot)

Attack 1:1d20 + 15 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 1 - 2 = 19
Damage:1d8 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 5 = 12

Attack 2:1d20 + 15 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 1 - 2 = 15
Damage:1d8 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 5 = 14

Attack 3:1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 15
Damage:1d8 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 5 = 7

Blep and Minion walks carefully after Yzxcilplix, avoiding the tripwires mentioned and keeping an eye out for more treachery. If the opportunity presents itself, Blep will attempt to charm the mind of one of the lesser creatures.

Perception 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26

Charm Monster DC:22 Range 60ft.

Initiative 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

If the humans are near the edge I cast Grease (DC23). when they fall over I'll push them over the edge.

Haruhito will cautiously move forward, keeping a careful eye out for any other 'surprises'...

Perception: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (12) + 33 = 45.

one of the stunned men is near the edge, Xahillion due to the mind blast they’ve seen you
Initiative order
VecThan
Xallihion
Myron
Humans
Yzxcilplix
Blepxeblopty
Xallihion manages to eat the unstunned human, now Myron hasn’t been able to do the mind blast yet, so VecThan, do you want to use your attacks against the nauseated human near Myron or the stunned humans near Xallihion? Blepxeblopty who do you which mortal of the 5 remaining you want to charm? Myron you can either cast grease or use your mind blast this round which do you want to do?

Grease if I think it'll cause one to slide off the edge otherwise mind blast them both.
