Petronicus scratches his head. "Maybe we can dress you as a mite and paint or magic you blue somehow. Maybe the insects wouldn't bother you then?" He then grins broadly at the halfling. "Of course, they might not bother with you, you're just a small bite for them."

Petronicus made a suggestion. Anyone want to agree or disagree with him?

Quintus looks over at Krupt not sure if he's serious or not. "Do you think the mites would fall for that? Milo can't even speak their language let alone act like one."

"I'm not sure where we'd even find that much blue paint on such short notice without heading back to Magnimar," Um'bala offers, deadpan.

Petronicus throws up his hands, "Fine, fine, I'll just be the stoic warrior then and will stop making suggestions if they just get shot down again and again." He walks over and takes a look at the other ant hills.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

"None of these other giant ant hills have mite tracks, only the one I pointed out. Don't you think that's strange?"

Milo shrugs, "Well... It may well be that the one is the one that leads most directly to the queen aunt? Or maybe that one leads to the Mite's lair?

"Look, I can go down and see what's to be seen nearby. If it seems to go deeply or I see signs of more ants or mites, I'll come back."

Petronicus smiles broadly at the halfling's suggestion. "Now that's what I'm talking about. Way to take initiative and show some backbone, Bandersnatch. I'll be right here if you need anything."

He moves back over to the ant hill with the tracks and takes up a guard position over the entrance, beckoning Milo forward.

Milo shrugs his shoulders and grins broadly as he moves forward, "It's not lost on me, dear fellow, that 'taking initiative' and 'showing backbone' is placing myself in danger, whilst you stand up here scratching your ass.

"Proper Chelaxian of you!

If I may Take 20 for my Perception, that would be the thing to do, no? I'm just uncertain if that's possible in this situation. If I may do that, then that's what I'll do despite whatever I roll here.

Wow. The roller really hates me today!

Mach keeps watch as Milo ventures off on his own.

GM stuff:
GM roll: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Milo takes off down one of the giant ant tunnels, which quickly grows quite dark, as the light from his companions behind him begins to fade. He may not be a dwarf, but Milo can see that the tunnel was clearly not dug by ants, as it shows sign of chisel and pick work.

Up ahead in the darkness, he can hear multiple high voices speaking in the unknown language he heard the mite speaking before. He guesses that they're at least 15' away from him and around at least one turn of the tunnel, but isn't sure whether they've heard him or not.

Hearing and seeing what he does, Milo stops and turns around heading back up through the opening. Once with the group, "So, yeah.... It looks like this route is to the Mite Kingdom. The tunnel was not made by ants (signs of chisel work and stuff). I also heard voices that sounded like Mite language."

Looking about, "So, unless somebody can give me the ability to speak their language, I don't see what more can be gained down there."

If necessary, a Stealth roll to get back without informing the guards I was there...

Quintus looks around at the others. "So should we go down there and try to take on these mites through the tunnel or should we just head down that east exit?"

Male Human Wizard (Transmuter) 3 | AC 16 T 12 FF 16 | HP 23/23 | F +1 R +2 W +4 | Init +2 | Perc +1 |

Um'bala frowns at the thought of squeezing through an ant's tunnel. "It'll be cramped quarters. I don't like the sound of that, myself."


Discord Chat

The tunnel that Milo entered was fairly small, but he could almost stand up in it. Humans would have to bend over or crawl.

"Then let's try the east exit and only go down that tunnel if absolutely necessary."

Milo nods in agreement, "I think that makes the best sense right now. We know where the Mites' lair is and where they're likely to be coming from if they do. That's useful, eh?"


Male Tiefling (Pit-Born) Bard (Arcane Duelist) 1

"Right then--let me take point. I'll scout it out." Mach readies his blades and moves to the east exit, staying as close to the shadows as he can.

Taking 10 on Stealth for 21.


Discord Chat

Mach creeps ahead down the corridor, which quickly makes a right turn and heads south. After about 60 feet, it opens up into a small chamber. The only visible exit is a staircase heading south from here into darkness. Listening, he can hear the scurrying of feet from a chamber at the bottom of the staircase, some 30 feet away. Taking 10 on Perception.

"Probably mites," Um'bala whispers to his friends. "They know we're coming now. Ready yourselves."

Quintuts pulls out the wand of mage armor and activates it. Fourteen charges left. "Alight I'm ready to go."

"Yep, I think they know we're here. Krupt, you want to take point?"

Petronicus nods. "Yup, me and the Shoanti will take the lead. Right, SB?"


Discord Chat

As the group moves down the stairs, they can hear a familiar chatter in an unknown language coming from the room ahead. As they approach it, there is a loud shriek from the assembled mites, three of whom are mounted on giant spiders the size of a stag!

INITIATIVE:
Mach: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Milo: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Petronicus: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Quintus: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Standing Bear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Um’Bala: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Mites: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

The mounted mites seem to be snarling and threatening you, but look like they could pounce into action at any moment. The four make strange movements with their hands, causing an overwhelming sense of dread to rise within Mach, Petronicus, Standing Bear, and Milo. Luckily for the halfling and the Shoanti, they are able to shake off the malicious magic.

Will Saves:
Mach: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6, failure and becomes shaken
Milo: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13, success!
Petronicus: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8, failure and becomes shaken
Standing Bear: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10, success!

The party is up!

"Damn demonic magic, get some guisarme, you blue-faced imps!" Petronicus shouts as she charges forward to the bottom of the steps, ready to take on any creature that dares approach him.

Move action, ready attack action on anything that comes within range.

Milo loads his light crossbow to fire at the light blue (?) mite directly in front of him as soon as he has a shot.

I'm uncertain if Standing Bear blocks my shot initially or not, but I'll go ahead and roll as if he doesn't.

I made you take a 5'-step that doesn't count as a move action. Your roll was high enough to overcome the cover from the pillar in front of the mite.

Um'bala's bolt catches the mite in the shoulder, but the creature barely winces. These seem to be either more highly combat-trained mites than you encountered before, or else are less vulnerable to pain.

Quintus moves up behind Um'bala and readies an action to cast a spell of grease in front of the party the moment the mites begin to charge.

Quintus will try to catch two or move mites moving towards Krupt to hopefully make them fall prone to make them easy prey for Krupt's readied attack.

...well, shit.

Mach isn't inclined to get on the front lines with that many mites coming at them. He grits his teeth and throws himself forward anyway, ready to dodge anything the little monsters throw at them.

ROUND 1-2 CONT.

Mach readies himself for the charge has best he can (move action, full defense), while Standing Bear moves forward to shield the more vulnerable tiefling from the worst (double move), and Quintus prepares to cast a spell.

Seemingly on cue, the spider-mounted mites silently charge forward, the only sound the scritch-scratch of their arachnid's feet skittering across the flagstones. The first one darts at Petronicus, but the Chelaxian is to quick, and nearly decapitates the small, blue fey creature with a swipe of his guisarme (Readied attack goes off: Guisarmed Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21, Damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (2, 3) + 7 = 12; the mite is dead)

A second mite (the Red one) charges forward, but is once again caught in Petronicus polearm. His slice disembowels the fey creature, which slumps over dead on the spider, still tied into its makeshift saddle (Petronicus guisarme AoO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26,Damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (1, 3) + 7 = 11; the mite is dying).

The third mounted mite (the Yellow one) sees an opening and moves forward past its fallen comrades. It makes a clean attack on Mach, but the tiefling easily sidesteps it (Short sword attack on Mach: 1d20 ⇒ 19, Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0, miss). His spider mount bites at Mach as well, and lands a lucky hit on the tiefling. Despite the fact that it is only a scratch, Mach feels the spider's venom coursing through his body. Luckily, his infernal constitution is able to weather the worst of the poison. Spider bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22,Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1,Crit confrim: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16, hit but no crit; Fort save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17, success! Mach takes 1 hp of damage.

The two spiders now left without a rider seem to momentarily not know what to do next. Two of the standing mites chirp at the creatures, and move forward, making large hand gestures and point toward the party. One of the spiders (the Blue one) seems to understand the Mite's command, while the other (the Red one) still seems a bit lost. Handle Animal check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12,Handle Animal check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 (The Blue spider will attack the party next turn, while the Red spider will have a 50% of either attacking or doing nothing).)

The two remaining mites move forward to get a good shot at the invaders, throwing small darts at Petronicus and Standing Bear when they find an opening. (Bright Green mite dart attack vs. Petronicus: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20, hit! Dart damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1, Natural mite dart attack vs. Standing Bear: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17, hit! Dart damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1, Petronicus and Standing Bear each take 1 hp of damage)

Damage Taken: Dark blue/purple mite: 2, "Natural" standing mite: 1; Petronicus: 1, Standing Bear 1, Mach 1.

THE PARTY IS UP!

Sorry, completely forgot about your readied action. The casting was your Round 1 action, which means you still have all of your Round 2 actions.

Petronicus ducks as Milo's bolt comes flying over his left shoulder to strike the mite. As he moves into the room to get a better angle on the mounted mite in front of Mach, he yells back at the halfling, "Why don't you stop frittering about with that crossbow back there, slip. You nearly took my ear off!"

Seemingly still distracted, the Chelaxian makes a weak strike at the fey creature that fails to connect.

Finally in place, Standing Bear hefts his mighty earthbreaker, but the weapon seems to be too unwieldy in these tight quarters and impacts off the wall instead.

Um'bala rushes past the mite in front of Mach, retreating to the relative safety of the corner of the room. He then throws another telekinetic strike at one of the spiders.

I move through the mite's threatened area, which means he gets an AoO on me. After that, I'll use my telekinetic strike on the red spider.
