GM_Foxy's 2nd Carrion Crown

Game Master Foxy Quickpaw

After searching the areas, Grergof takes a moment to refresh himself.

LoH: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 2) = 9
LoH: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 4) = 8
LoH: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3) = 6

When done he Looks at the others.
That was just about all my healing for the day. I may well need to rest if we run into another group of monsters.

Stam holds up the ring for Darius or Grergof.

"From what I can tell this is a Ram Ring, it has only os many charges but once you say the activation word you can release the magic to push someone away. It can also be use to break down doors if needs be. It will not serve me well and I think since you two are in the enemies faces it might serve you well there."

I normally do not want things to get pushed away, For as you can tell, I am much better up close. Also I can break most any door with this... He shakes his flail. So I think it makes sense for someone else to take this. Do you want it Mr. Redgrave?

Spugnoir starts poking Stam with needles

Treat Deadly wounds: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 Let us just forget that

Spugnoir heals Stam with the wand
CLW: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 3, 1) + 3 = 13

Stam sees the needle and backs off a little, eye balling the half-orc, once he sees the wand he allows Spugnoir to approach.

"So where to now?"

Well there is a second door out of this room as well as two more rooms we should probably check

Grergof says as he completes a search of the rest of the objects in this room.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

The second door out of the room is locked. Searching through this level of the building Grergof finds a secret staircase that leads to the second floor.

Considering what we have all run into, would anyone like an extract of Shield? +4 shield AC

Stam motions for Grergof to go first once Spugnoir has opened the door.

"We could always try that ring to open the door if you want"

Perception on door: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Disable device: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

From this side the door is easily enough to unlock.

Outside of the door is an exposed, winding, narrow pathway that climbs the bare rock face to the Menagerie (area K1) 50 feet above. Some climbing is required to ascend the stretching way, as there are no handrails or guide ropes. A failed Climb check results in a fall into the lower river 150 to 200 feet below.

Stam will look out then back at Grergof, "That rope of yours would be mighty nice."

I would prefer to explore this building before we move on.
Shall we go up? he says after he finds the hidden stairs up.

Lettuce head up.

The secret stairway ends in this room. Three dissected, preserved harpies sit in huge bell jars in this room, along with jars containing four stuffed bats, the skeletal front legs and head of a griffon, and the preserved wing of a roc which is slowly losing its feathers. A ladder leads up to a trapdoor in the ceiling. And a door leads to the rest of this floor.

Walking through the door you find a large room is crammed with crates and boxes.

Grergof searches the room with the creatures firs using his eyes and detect evil, and if he finds nothing moves on to the room with the boxes Doing the same thing there.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

This must be the work room. Strange that the door was so well hidden.

"Do you think this house also belonged to that Shape changer from Lepidstadt? What was his name again?"

Stam will search the room as well.

Perception with Detect magic: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

There is magic at the trap door in the ceiling. And there is evil in one of the boxes in the large room.

"Magical trap on the trap door in the ceiling, do you see what I did there?..."

Stam looks around with a half smile, "Sorry just trying to lighten the mood a bit. Anyone else see anything?"

Grergof points at the box.

Something that rejects the Dawnbringers light is within that box.

Grergof gets the others ready then opens the evil crate with his scimitar.

Out of the box fly three heads with snakes for hair.
One of them let's out a shriek. DC 16 Will save or shaken for 1d4 rounds (fear effect)

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Initiative Grergof: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Initiative Darius: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Initiative Stam: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Initiative Spugnoir: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

The second head goes for Grergof
Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 161d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
(DC16 Fort save, or becoming petrified)

You all get +4 to your save vs fear due to my aura, and Foxy you know I'm immune to fear.

Religion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Madusia heads! Careful or they will turn you to stone with a bite!

Grergof Replies with a series of furious two handed swipes with his scimitar.
Scimitar - Power Attack + Furious Focus: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 30
Damage + Power Attack: 1d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 6 = 16
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 26
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 6 = 14

Scimitar - Power Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 2 = 12
Damage + Power Attack: 1d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 6 = 13

Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Spugnoir throws a frost bomb at a head, using Precise Bombs to avoid his allies
Bomb,Frost,PBS,PS: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 273d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 3, 1) + 5 = 11
Creatures that take a direct hit from a frost bomb are staggered on their next turn unless they succeed on a Fortitude save. DC 16

Stam will use the last of his initiate magic, unleashing force at one that is not attacking anyone yet.

Magic Missile+Reservoir Point: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 1) + 4 = 12

Grergof lands two solid hits on the head attacking him.

And Spugnoir finishes it off with his bomb.

Will Save Stam: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 4 = 17
Stam's magic missile reliably hits it's target. The last head comes flying at Stam.
Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 221d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
DC16 Fort Save please

I'm a bit behind so will just post whats happening now and yup I'll take the Ring of the Ram if everyone is cool with it.

Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Darius shakes off the effects of the snake haired medusa heads and charges at them to swat one out of the sky.

Batter up!

Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Darius sword connects but the heads skin is so thick that it slides off without doing damage.

The head that shrieked attacks now Darius.
Bit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 261d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
DC 16 Fort Save please

Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Stam reels back from the head, interposing his staff between the head and himself.

It's a fort save. But I'll take the roll. 3

Starting at the point he got bitten Stam's flesh gets grey and hard. The horror is written on his face as it spreads through his whole body and he turns to stone.

More like, well crap haha

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

WHEW!!

Darius resists the transformation but the bite still hurts! So Darius watches as Stam turns to stone.

"Stam NO! You slimy..." he says turning to the the head that did that and holds his hand out in the air and says. "Burn" and a white light erupts from his palm and arc towards the creatures head.

Damage: 3d8 ⇒ (8, 1, 3) = 12

Um..., that spell sucks. You have to make a ranged touch attack and if you hit the thing gets a Will Save? Why not channel them out of existence? Better damage, auto hit, multiple targets,...

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
That bolt of holy energy hits the medusa and does some damage.

Spugnoir snarls and chucks another flame bomb
PBS,PS,Touch,Fire,Precise: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 113d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 4, 1) + 5 = 11

Seeing Stam turn to stone, Grergof coldly turns on the creature.

For that you shall face the wrath of the Dawnbringer! Go back to the shadow!
Smite Evil in the one that petrified Stam. Also since I didn't get an AoO from them flying away from me I assume I can full attack

Scimitar - Power Attack + Furious Focus + Smite Evil: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 11 - 2 + 2 + 3 = 18
Damage + Power Attack + Smite Evil (Undead): 1d6 + 6 + 6 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 6 + 12 = 25
Scimitar - Power Attack + Smite Evil: 1d20 + 6 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 2 + 3 = 20
Damage + Power Attack + Smite Evil (Undead): 1d6 + 6 + 6 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 6 + 12 = 27

Grergof's mighty swing misses, but the second one gets it for good and destroys it.

The remaining one goes for Grergof.
Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 251d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Setup is more like two row stand off as we have no real positioning.

"Well damn, this isn't going to bode well, I even had to urinate prior to Grergof opening those boxes. I wonder if my clothes turned to stone as well?"

"To the abyss with this." Darius says and he holds his sword before him and evokes Iomedae's name and a flash of light erupts from him.

Channel 2/6 Harm DC17: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 3, 2) + 5 = 15

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
The medusa head is hit hard by the flash of holy energy.

Waiting for Grergof and/or Spugnoir to finish off that last head before starting a new round

Ahhh, didn't realize you were waiting on me.

Turning onto the last head, Grergof strikes again.
Scimitar - Power Attack + Furious Focus: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 12
Damage + Power Attack: 1d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 6 = 17
Scimitar - Power Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 2 = 6
Damage + Power Attack: 1d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 6 = 14

But this time hits only the empty air....

How exactly are we going to fix Mr. Truthfinder?

You forgot to roll your Fort Save first.
Grergof swings his flail but feels unusually stiff while doing so. Once he realizes it he is mid swing and freezes in that position. Turned to stone.

Spugnoir?

Spugnoir feels rather nervous and throw another bomb
Bomb,fire,touch,prescise: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 153d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 6, 3) + 5 = 19

The head turn away from the Grergof statue and moves towards Spugnoir as it is hit by the bomb and destroyed.

Fight over

Darius walks up to Grergof and looks over at Stam. "Hmm.."

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 To see if I know a way to undo this, maybe a clerical spell to remove the effect.

This is bad, I don't have anything that could unstone them. We'd have to leave them here and get back to town.

Darius remembers to have heard of a spell that could help here but doesn't remember the name and can't do it himself.

But as they are standing there at a loss how to fix that Grergof starts to turn into flesh again. Luckily the movement was frozen and doesn't continue or Darius would been knocked down with the Scimitar.

And a few seconds later Stam also returns to his fleshy self.
Only temporary effect ;)

Stam looks himself over and his robes, "that was a big unsettling, question. Were my robes tuned to stone as well? Also I need a moment to relieve myself."

Stam hurries off and urinates off the stair that was outside. Returning a minute later.

"Better, so now where too?"

Where! Where is it?!?!

Grergof turns around scimitar up searching for the Beast that just bit him.
