Which way back are you going to take back to the bandit? Back through the rooms you came through, or down the hallway you are in and around it to the north? (where you haven't gone yet)
May as well take the unexplored path, to clear out anything that may be very near our resting location.
Who Will carry jokbur then.
Can we put him in Hermann's backpack? :)
Hermann can carry him, I will lead.
Stealth:
Perception:
Hermann von Rabenstrange, pack-mule of the deadliest dungeon known to all creation!
Hermann slings Jokbur over his shoulder as you begin to walk back to your "Safe Room". Quirmydt looks around the corner and notices the passage heads north straight to that room. As you head north you approach the intersection with the pit you discovered. It takes some work getting Jokbur to the other side without falling into the pit, but you eventually get him there. You continue north until you get to the next intersection , and then continue north until you reach the pit where you stored the bandit. You get Jokbur into the bandit room and get him cozy, then open the pit. You discover that the bandit you put inside is missing.
"Aww, crap."
Qui just shrugs: Figured he was a little to willing to be locked in there. Let me go down and see how he got out.
Qui then climbs down into the pit and begins to search for secret passages or release levers.
Perception:
"Yeah, no real surprise there." Jonas said with a shrug.
"Zzzzz"
"What if he didn't run away, but some monster took him? I mean, who really knows what kind of monsters are lurking in some hidden den or whatever?"
Anyone with Survival can give me a check
Survival:
As Quirmydt is being pulled back up he notices newer scuff mark from someone else climbing up. Looking around at the top it seems maybe a half dozen or so humanoids were recently here.
We gots friends. Humanoids of some type.
He then more carefully examines the marks.
Survival:
"They might have just run, but it would be good for us to be prepared for some kind of ambush while we try to rest."
Knowledge Arcana:
Knowledge Dungeoneering:
Edmund examines Jokbur while the others deal with the pit and bandit. He tries to remember anything he might ever have read concerning sleeping traps.
Edmund, you know that if it was magical sleep he would have been immune to it and more than likely would have woken up by now.
Anyone else with Knowledge (nature) or an alchemy skill can roll a knowledge check.
To everyone, are you resting in this room? A different room? Any special defenses?
I thought we were resting in our room protected by the pit traps. Hermann will take his turn guarding, of course.
"I'm going to spike the door, like the sleep room. That aught to keep us from being interrupted."
Pulling a hammer with a leather-wrapped head and a copper spike, Jonas waited until everyone was inside and then hammered the wedge into the bottom of the door frame below the doorknob.
The leather-headed mallet turned the sound into a dull thump rather than the usual high-pitched clang of metal on metal.
The leather-headed mallet turned the sound into a dull thump rather than the usual high-pitched clang of metal on metal.
You secure the door and think it is spiked well. Despite the wrapping of the hammer, you seem to have gathered the attention of some rats that squeeze their way through some cracks in the wall.
Jonas and Hermann are up first!
- Jonas, Hermann, Rats, Ariella, Quirmydt, Edmund
AC 14 T 14 FF 11
Round 1
As the rats fell into the room, Hermann's veteran reflexes reached out to draw up his longspear even as he began moving toward the rats to protect the less-armored of the group.
HP 17
AC 20
In Hands: Both - Longspear
Conditions: none
Hermann pierces the rat almost as soon as it lands, leaving only three to threaten the group
Jonas before the rest of the rats!
Hermann carries a rat-sticker, apparently, instead of a pig-sticker.
Jonas is still up before the rats!
"What the-" Jonas says in surprise. "Where'd all these rats come from?"
Bringing his burning polearm into the thick of the rodents, he did his best to get rid of them.
Round 1
Ariella will shoot a small fiery orb at whichever rat isn't in melee combat with her brother.

AC 14 T 14 FF 11
Hermann takes his Attack of Opportunity for the rat moving into/through a threatened space...
Qui moves over to E30 and stabs at the rat in the corner.
Move Action: Move to E30.
Standard: Attack Rat at E31.
Attack-scimitar:
Damage:
Die vermin.
Quirmydt stabs the rat killing it. Edmund left to go in the round before Round 2 begins with Hermann and Jonas again.
You should get in touch with DM Harpwizard in my Elsir Vale campaign. He is a math/music teacher and, in case you cannot figure it from his name, a professional harpist.
Edmund sends an arcane bolt at number 1.
Touch attack:
Damage:
The bolt looks a lot like his magic missiles, but doesn't pack the same punch, and he has to take care to aim it around his friends.
"You know, when I decided to come here, this wasn't exactly what I imagined I'd be doing." Jonas said with a self-effacing laugh. "and frankly, this isn't working so well. Let's try something new." Yanking a metal canteen full of the oil he used to fuel his burning polearm free from his belt, he unstoppered it and poured some onto the mass of rats, then touched his burning weapon to the ground.
Jokbur tosses fitfully and yells "VAMPIRES!". Then returns to his restful slumber.
