Dr. Lendaro |
The crack of Dr Lendaro's pistol reverberates through the chamber. "Ha... even the rotting vegetation is after us."
firing pistol into melee: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 4 = 8 vs touch
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Rakdon and Rosa are only sickened once. I'm just reminding you.
Rosa's Fire Bolt shoots off past the blob and strikes a far away stalactite. It loosens it enough so that it falls into the water with a crash.
Dr. Lendaro turns his attention to Rosa's blob, and fires with a clear shot. His bullet pierces through fungus, mold, and rot. You hear air hiss from the creature as it deflates and sinks beneath the water, dead.
Tarphesh, Rakdon and Tetsuda have an action. The mounds are adjacent to Tetsuda and Tarphesh.
Linpul |
With Tarphesh now engaged Tetsuda attacks the fungus trying to sink his mandibles into the fungus. It appears as if his aim is true with a weak delivery.
Tetsuda Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 201d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Tarphesh |
"First bugs and now walking rot, this place just keeps getting better and better." With that he lashes out with his greatsword, trying to find the correct angle.
Standard Attack nearest mold. Add a +2 to attack if I'm actually flanking as I have no idea
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 6 = 14
GM Demonmoose |
Tetsuda plunges his mandibles into one of the mounds pulling green foliage from its body.
Tarphesh cleaves through with his greatsword. The ooze deflates and sinks beneath the water.
The last fungus mound stretches its body and swings at Tetsuda.
slam Tetsuda: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 141d3 ⇒ 1
The jelly mass bounces off Tetsuda's hard shell.
It is Linpul's turn. Afterwards, everyone else may act.
Linpul |
Ah, Linpul simply moves forward and climbs down, it's the same action economy as falling the 5 ft and landing prone since that's how falling works.
Moving as quickly as her little legs will take her, the gnome plants her lucerne hammer down the ledge and does a quick scramble down.
Climb: 1d20 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 2 - 1 = 10
Lady Rosa Luminnuss |
GM Demonmoose |
Linpul |
Shrugging off the blow from the fungus Tetsuda lowers his horn in challenge. With a few clicking noises the beetle shuffles to the side and lunges forward.
Tetsuda Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 141d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Add +2 to the attack roll if he can get flanking with Tarphesh

"I have no understanding of abominations such as these. My one suggestion would be to stop letting them touch you." Dr Lendaro swaps his pistol to his left hand, and draws his rapier.
He stabs at the air between the nearest blob and himself while struggling with his footwork... "this terrain is unacceptable for proper fighting..."
rapier: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
GM Demonmoose |
After taking a few moments to recover, you all try to climb up the five foot ledge, instead of taking the water path, moving deeper into the cavern.
A collection of stalactites and stalagmites choke this low-ceilinged cavern, making it difficult to squeeze between them. Matching stalactites close in from the five-foot-high ceiling, giving the impression of a maw of needlelike teeth bearing down on one another. A dead half-orc sprawls on the ground near the cave's eastern entrance.
Dr. Lendaro |
"Local girl... seemed to have a fair amount of friends, and knew how to handle herself in a fight." Dr Lendaro takes a closer look... "Maybe one less friend than she thought... stabbed in the back."
know(local): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Heal: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Linpul |
Lin had already seen the half orc but knew nothing of her. It was a shame hearing that she was a local. Who would stab somebody in the same expedition?
"When we are done in these caves we should bring her back to town. I don't think I ever met her but I'm sure her friends would like some peace of mind about their friend."
Dr. Lendaro |
Dr Lendaro raises an eyebrow at Lady Rosa's words, then looks at the rock formation. "I'll not rule that out of the realm of possibilities....
I was assuming a dagger or other blade. However, considering how many interesting ways we have already found to die, more the pity to go so mundanely."
He nods to Linpul "I would agree."
GM Demonmoose |
Rosa, Dr. Lendaro, and Tarphesh have to stoop down to move in the smaller cave.
You move to the next area.
A dark cavern opens up here, its twenty-foot- high ceiling thick with stalactites. A rocky shore overlooks a placid pool and stream, fed by a trickle of water leaking from a narrow fissure to the north. A small garden of toadstools and dark mold grows along the banks.
A small humanoid creature with white skin peers at you with white eyes through a small leather hood. On the hood is scrawled a single word. It looks like some kind of large humanoid frog.
Lendaro's Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Linpul's Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Rakdon's Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Rosa’s Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Tarphesh's Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Tetsuda's Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Frog Thing's Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Phase 1
Everyone
Phase 2
Frog Thing
None. All sickness has worn off.
It is everyone's turn.

"Well..." Dr Lendaro vaguely points to the hood "If it has the decency to dress itself, it must have some amount of intelligence.", as he loads his pistol.
"You are outnumbered. I suggest you let us pass without provoking us. Our methods of self-preservation have proven to be deadly to your cavern chums."
He steps forward... "Move along now."
move action: reload, std: move until it reacts (half-speed so no more than 15')
GM Demonmoose |
The frog thing lets out a croak that echoes across the cavern. It flashes sharpened teeth at the doctor. You see claws on its webbed hands and feet.
Slightly behind the frog and bobbing in the water is what looks like a body. As ripples of water crash against it, you can see that it is missing some of its extremities.
Lady Rosa Luminnuss |
"That thing stands guard over the dead or is feeding, if its feeding"
Rosa flips her sword onto her back, where the clamp device holds it in place, silver light shimmers down the veins of her armour. She pulls out her whip and lets it splay out along the floor, then with arm swing around her head, she sends out out in to the air where there is a.
"CRACK!!"
In front of her, she is careful not to come close to the hooded thing.
"Pain comes with us little being, so leave your dinner and let us pass"
again
"CRACK!!"
with the whip.
Linpul |
This one has been bugging me, how does Rosa have whip prof? Asmodeus' chosen weapon is the heavy mace therefore you get heavy mace proficiency. If it's Diabolism as from Faiths and Philosophies then that grants no proficiencies of any kind. Regardless I think we can walk past without upsetting the little beastie. Tetsuda holds action until next turn unless the creature attempt to attack me.
"I think we can leave it alone. Tetsuda defend me if it attacks me. In the meantime let's keep moving."
Linpul double moves, keeping it within reach of her lucerne hammer. If it dares to strike her Tetsuda will intercept with a charge.
Charging Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
GM Demonmoose |
Acid flies from Rakdon's hand. It misses the small frog creature and splashes into the water behind him.
The frog's croak echoes in the room. Its eyes become brighter.
Passing Tarphesh's turn.
Suddenly, its eyes begin to flash, brighter and brighter until they are blinding.
Everyone make a fortitude save.
Tetsuda charges at the frog thing. Its horn pierces through the frog thing's side, leaking blood on the cavern floor.
Everyone's turn.
Dr. Lendaro |
Fort save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
"Blast it all... I've lost my sight!"
Dr Lendaro reflexively touches one hand to his temple - activating his defenses as he takes a step back.
5' step back, Activate Altered Defense (Su) DR 1/- (7/8 round per day) as swift action.
Linpul |
Linpul Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Tetsuda Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Shielding her eyes from the flash Linpul hoists her hammer to crush the little frog thing while moving to flank with Tetuda.
Lucerne Hammer: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 91d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 Add +2 to hit if I can flank with Tetsuda however it appears as though the light has startled Linpul and Tetsuda. Oh well.
Tetsuda Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
"Rakdon, you fool. We were trying to just walk by not scare the little bugger. If it doesn't have friends we are going to have a nice long talk about this as soon as we are finished here."
GM Demonmoose |
Tarphesh Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Rakdon Fort Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
The light intensifies as it strikes Tarphesh's eyes. The cavern disappears from his vision, replaced by inky blackness.
Tarphesh growls, but doesn't move from his spot.
Passing Rakdon. He may act in the next round.
bite Tetsuda: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
claw Tetsuda: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
claw Tetsuda: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
The frog thing tries to bite Tetsuda, then swipes at him with webbed claws, but the beetle's tough shell prevents it from piercing. It croaks furiously, its neck bulging with rapid movements.
Everyone's turn. Round 3
Linpul |
Round 3
Tetsuda having dealt with the frog thing attempts to strike back.
Tetsuda Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 81d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 +2 more to hit if flanking
Tetsuda's bite will not be striking home but maybe her hammer will.
Lucerne Hammer: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 181d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 +2 more to hit if flanking.
"Take this you ugly frog thing, I do not like my friends being blinded... nor do I like being blinded."
GM Demonmoose |
Tetsuda lunges to bite the frog, but the amphibian monstrosity raises its feet to dodge. Linpul's hammer crashes into the frog thing's face, pushing it to the side. A mix of spittle and blood flies from the creature's mouth and falls into the pool.
Rosa, Lendaro, Tarphesh = blinded
Frog thing has taken 11 damage so far.
Linpul and Tetsuda are flanking the frog thing. It is Rosa, Lendaro, Tarphesh and Rakdon's turn.
GM Demonmoose |
Rakdon throws his acid magic at the blindheim. As it travels closer, it splits apart and spreads into tiny globules that seem to bend away and around the frog creature. After passing the frog, the bits of acid fizzle.
Passing Tarphesh since he is blinded. Also passing the doctor. They may act again in Round 4.
The frog assaults the beetle with a flurry of attacks.
bite Tetsuda: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
claw Tetsuda: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 141d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
claw Tetsuda: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
The frog's webbed claw scratches Tetsuda's abdomen.
Everyone's turn again.
Linpul |
"Oh no Tetsuda, fight through it buddy, you can do it!"
The beetle takes the damage and lunges forwards with mandibles ready. Hoping to avoid taking any more damage from the frog thing.
Tetsuda Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 141d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
If it's not dead Linpul will smash it
"The frog thing is tougher than we thought, but I think we've got a good handle on it now!"
Lucerne Hammer: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Add +2 to the attack rolls if flanking
GM Demonmoose |
Rakdon's acid splashes into the blindheim's bright eyes, blinding it for a second. It hisses and with flailing claws tries to wipe it away.
Tetsuda bites the frog while its distracted taking a chunk of its white flesh.
The frog lets out one final croak before it sinks down to the floor dead.
Battle is complete.
Rakdon, Tetsuda and Linpul notice something in the distance. Beyond the frog creature's corpse, bobbing in the water, is the top half of a body.
Also when people are blind, you should probably tell them what's happening. Lol.

I take it this Blindness wares off, if not we all heading back to town, and a very short game this will be.
As Rosa's sign slowly comes back she looks around, Dead frog, some body's or some such, and a hurt bug.
She then walks over to Rakdon and with a curt swift move of her hand clips the Ratfolk at the back of his head, like one would a child.
"Next time you attack with out warning, something we are trying to get around without a fight and I personally cut your limbs off and let you fight it with only your bad breath, Do You understand!"
She looks him hard in the eyes, wile holding a very big sword, so he understands she means every word she just said.
