Kaul's jaw hangs open as drool pools in his craw - clearly the thug is lost in his cranial caressing:

Shhhh... shcleepy tymes... no noishy pleese...

Sorry guys. Things went bonkers for a few days there. ? Is Dingus Invisible? He cast the spell, but I noticed that the bad guys were reaching for Dingus. If you missed that he is invisible, that's cool, I'll just save the spell slot. If he is invisible, and they can still see him... well that might change my choices a bit.

If Dingus has room for Burning Hands
5d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 4, 1) = 11

If not then from the ring
5d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 4, 3, 1, 3) + 5 = 17 VV

"Kaul". "Get up". This is no time for napping... unless you're in the mood for a dirt nap". !


upstairs:
Dingus floats into position, invisible above the scene like a strange angel. Suddenly, he reappears raining fire down on the plant and its minions. It browns and curls up as half its foliage chars away, but it continues securing vines to its drooling prey. The closest pair of zombies ignite and begin an awful gargling sreaming as they burn and fall. Kaul is lightly scorched by the flames, but suffers no further damage while the vines continue burning. Kaul-6

Jim continues to poke at undead Vinari with his rapier to no effect. Suddenly all the plantzombies begin an eerie keening sound echoed from above.

Jim stabs the horticulturated Hell Hound again, a little harder this time. Current AC 22.

Hopefully-more-effective stab, incl. aid and combat expertise: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 19
Perforation of plant: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

and wrap up- Round 12

With a wry grimace, Jim targets Dallian's cousin in the head this time and the screaming dead falls silent and topples over.

Upstairs, the hovering sorcerer blasts the now defoliated woody brown trunk of the plant with a swarm of viper force bolts. It explodes spewing baked starches and all the plantimated undead upstairs and down collapse back into their proper unanimated state.

Kaul moans back into consciousness. The voice from his pouch grouses, "Should have let plant eat yo' brain. No difference for fool Apostle!"


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

"Hmmm...wonder what happened upstairs?" Jim checks each of the fallen to see if Dallian or any of the other crew members is among them.


Jim inspects the recently redeparted and finds no other familiar faces. Neither Dallian, his brother or the inscrutable bosun are here.


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

He gives Vinari's body a kick for good measure before searching all of the bodies.


All dressed in smelly studded leather armor. They seem to have left their weapons elsewhere, but have retained their pay of a couple gold Sails each- total 30 gp.

Kaul rubs his noggin and looks bemused and more than a little hacked off;

"Feck's sake I've been roasted! This one o' Dibb's damned tricks again?!"

At the scolding from his Divine Idol, the thug looks forlorn...

"What did I do? Wha-who-where... did I do it?"


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Tallying up the meagre takings and the strange circumstances Dibbs muses "Still doesnae make any sense like... did tha plant thingy come afore or afters tha elvies? Onna right track tho... one down." doing a final reccy of the house to see if there was aught they'd missed or any interior clues of what was out there... like a map or journal.


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

"No idea. And what's with this lot having only a sail or two each? It's a fecking gold mine here, hey?"


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Shrugging "Reckons we'd need tae get inna dark tae see wi' that... probly jus means tha buggers're greedy like an they're keepin tha loots in one spot."

"What you do?" Tum-Bobo scoffs. "You stick de head in de briar patch! Why not? You not using it for anyt'ing else."

Disappointed with their catch, the crew reckons mercenary work for the consortium doesn't pay so well or they're working for script out here where there's not much to do with your coin except gamble it away. That actually makes sense as sending payroll all this way would likely result in a lot of losses.

You did hear that there was an actual goldmine around here though which bears investigation. The crew takes a look around the rest of the station house as night falls outside. Elven drums punctuate the drone of insects in the gathering darkness.

how about some perception checks? It's too big an area to take 20.


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Musing as the drums can be heard "Feck it, less fortify up in this hole wi' tha dead planties. Least we ken force tha bastards tae come in close an get rid a' they advantige in sneakyness an bows like."


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

"Aye. I'm not so worried about them once we're in close, but I don't care to get into an archery duel with the lot of them."


The station house is quite large and takes a bit of time to explore. On the lower floor, you've already found the armory containing racks of swords and spears, crossbows and bolts and ominously, a barrel filled with bloody shackles.

In the kitchen you come upon a rotting corpse of another chef with a sprouted plant like the evil thing you burned upstairs. You take care of it with extreme prejudice. There is a smaller dining hall for officers and civil staff perhaps, guest rooms, more storage and servants' quarters. Stairs lead up to another section of the upper floor.


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

Are there any longswords in the armory? If so, Jim will snag one.

sure. any non-exotic weapon should be available. see added note about perception checks above.


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Perceptions: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 and a 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 and a 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

Untrained Perception check: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 - 2 = 7
Untrained Perception check: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 1 - 2 = 10
Untrained Perception check: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 - 2 = 3


Dibbets leads the way badger-like in his rambling gait, head swinging and eyes bright for sign of gold or information on the fate of the station house. The back section of the upper floor contains private bedrooms for officers and tradesmen. Furnishings are simple, but comfortable. Nothing of any particular valuable though, at least until you reach the locked office of the station manager.

Lopper brushes aside the locked door to reveal an opulently appointed office and bedroom suite. The bed posts supporting the canopy are made of great ivory tusks and the bedding consists of rich satin sheets. The desk is dark mahogany wood. Dibbets uncovers a loose tile in the washroom that hides a small cache of 4 sizeable gold nuggets, a glittering diamond the size of a halfling's fist and ruby studded dagger.


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Pulling out the nuggets, Dibbs gives one an enterprising chomp before reeling with smarting choppers. Wide eyed and manic he calls to the others "Bingo! Come an 'ave a lookee!"

The only item that gives him pause is the ruby studded dagger... memories still very fresh of a certain other stabber that'd led one of them astray. The oracle takes a peep through tinted sight... and turns to Dingus with an eyebrow raised to see if the slightly addled adder sorceror has any further idea.

detect magic on the dagger


Dibbets can breathe more easily as the dagger is mundane and probably pretty valuable.

Now who's the appraiser?


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Dingus sports a +7 in the valued skill


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

Jim saunters over. "Good eyes, mate. Looks like someone was taking a little on the side...can't say as I'm surprised, hey?"


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

"Heh.. aye, an more'n that... fecker needed tae scarper in a hurry like as well... Nei sane bugger leaves this inna wall."


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

"Unless he thought he'd be back for it. More likely you have the right of it, though."


Male Human Sorcerer 6/4, Cleric 1: HP 44/(44); AC-16/14/12; F+5, R+5, W+5/+4. (Spells:3: 5/5, 2:7/7, 1:7/7) IP-17

BTW... Does Dingus have the dagger still, or did Jim take it. If he did what did he do with it?

"Well it's not as nice as the one that someone stole from me..."

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24 Bluff (He's trying to hide the fact that he has it back).

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 Appraise

"But it might be worth something".


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

Jim took the dagger, but the taking didn't take. It's back with Dingus now, and Jim is unwilling to try to take it again.


Dingus eyes the other dagger apparently in need of a replacement. He figures it is worth 500 gold Sails. Dibbets reckons the nuggets could be upward of 500 apiece! The diamond, who knows?! Of course, he could be overestimating the value.

The crew returns to the lower store room to check for supplies that might be more useful at the present moment and Dibbets uncovers a metal door behind a pair of stacked boxes.


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

"Well taint worth nuttin less we gets em back tae civilzation." pocketing the valuables and dagger same. Spotting the metal door, Dibbs raises an eyebrow and turns to Kaul "Got anuvver door ye needs openin."


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

"Here, listen at it first. Someone might be hiding back there."


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Dibbs obliges...
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16


nothing heard below.


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

...before shrugging and indicating to Kaul with a jerk of his head.


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

"'Fore he goes to town on the door, mate, I could use a bit of indifference."


Jim gets Dibbs' special touch while Kaul batters in the metal door with Lopper. The racket drowns out even the drums beyond the jungles edge. Finally, the door falls inward clattering against the rock floor below. The (insert light source here) reveals an old mine cart and rails leading through a tunnel toward the hill behind the station house.


Male Half Orc Rogue (Thug) 6+5 | HP 70/70| AC 21/14/NA | F+5, R+9, W+2 | IP 1 | Perc +10 (+11 Freeport), Darkvision 60ft | Init +3 | Move: 30ft. | Status: -

Kaul steps into the darkness, grunting in satisfaction at yet another door thwarted by his technical prowess as a lockpicker and pointman.

The brute gives pause and scans the area conscious of traps or potentially lurking foes:

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

However at the sight of the mine cart, Kaul grins and giddily makes for the vehicle:

"Hur... Whose fer a ride on the cartie hur-hur!"


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

"It's my cartie, and I'll pry if I want to!"

"Might be quite the ride, hey? Can you tell if Dallian or someone rigged it to fail?"


Male Human Sorcerer 6/4, Cleric 1: HP 44/(44); AC-16/14/12; F+5, R+5, W+5/+4. (Spells:3: 5/5, 2:7/7, 1:7/7) IP-17

Dingus strips the satin sheets off the bed, thinking that they'll make an appropriate robe, as he seems to keep ruining them with this gang... then at a guilty look from Richard, stuffs a fine down pillow into his sack.

"Well that doesn't really look safe now does it"? "And, I'm not pushing it".


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

"Bit o' caution laddies... end ovva long day, Dingus an me are mostly spent like an we dunno what tha feck's down there... Hows about we takes a rest like an see iffin tha elvies let us see tha mornin... then we ken bugger off down tha cart line" pleads the midgetarian oracle.


"What chicken little man afraid of!"Tum-Bobo cackles loudly from his sack. "We safer in hole after fool apostle make racket and let elves know dey zombie plant no kill you. Now dey probably just burn de whole house down and me with you!"


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Ignoring Tum-Bobblehead's rant Dibbets addresses Kaul "Ye best keep yer nut quiet... or I'll take up feckin whittlin"


"Ooooh, let me curse de little dummy!" comes the muffled response from Kaul's nut sack. "Make him clumsy as he stupid. Den whittle his hand off by accident. Hee-hee!"


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

"Hate to say this, Dibbets, but the nut has the right of it...Kaul's lockpicking wasn't exactly quiet, hey?"


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Ignoring anything else, Dibbets' resolve is finally tested enough to act. He stumps over towards Kaul and attempts to liberate the scarred nugget of his nut-sack...

Up to Kaul and the likes as to whether they restrain him from doing so...


I believe Kaul has already seated himself within the mine cart ready for his ride, but nonetheless...

No longer satisfied with priestly buttocks fondling, Dibbets goes for the nut.

btw speaking of groping, you giving Jim his healing or no?
