Niles I think you subtracted 11 instead of 9 from the first hit. I went from 34 down to 23.

Ok, I owe you 2 HP.

Good Guys are up!

Mort reaches out with a hand to touch and kill the last adult aberration that's fighting Jarreck and the elemental.

Melee Touch, Chill Touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 231d6 ⇒ 3
Fort Save DC 16 or lose 1 Str

If it dies, Mort takes its place so as not to get the attention of the juvenile aberration.

Lol.

"Hah, little one's nastier than it looks isn't it?"

Guaire quickly shoots arrows at purple.
Rapid, PBS: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 2 = 21 Dmg, PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Ouch! Nasty critter -14 more HP

Jarreck struggles against his attacker saving his breath for the fight.

escape artist: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

if I remembered right I got one action and that was escapinging. If I can still move at the 0 HP run me away. At work and don't have access to info I need quickly.

Guaire fires two arrows hitting for 7. /Sonic misses
Omo leaps the pit
Jarreck escapes the pin! You didn't lose more hp from con, it only drains 1 con per round so...you are down 2 total which means -4HP total Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 Jarreck dances nimbly away from the enemy.

Waiting on Seven/Elemental!

Seventeen whispers the command word and twin missiles pulse out of her wand to blast the creature in front of her! Damage to purple: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7

The elemental aims a very accurate punch at its target but it doesn't do as much damage as it would to any normal creature.

Good Guys are UP!

Is there any way for Seventeen to get line of sight to Green? I'm guessing no not without taking AOOs.

"Mort! Dammit.."

My 5ft move from few rounds ago hadn't been set on the map yet, just so to avoid confusion of PBS.

Guaire spreads his shots.
Rapid shot vs green, PBS: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 2 = 8 Dmg, PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Rapid shot vs purple, PBS: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 2 = 14 Dmg, PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

The hedgehog gores some more.
Gore, power attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 1 = 5 Dmg: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4

@Seven No, the crate blocks the view. @Guaire Green is blocked doesn't matter, because you missed.

The elemental throws itself at the creature raining pummeling blows that would have reduced anything else to pulp by now.
Slam: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10

Seventeen blasts yet again with her wand!
MM Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7

Yeah, Mort is pretty screwed when faced with combat maneuvers. Mort's not gonna make the same mistake again.

Also Niles, Mort is at -2 hp, I mentioned in the discussion, that Mort's hp is 35 normally, 31 with the -2 Con. Seeing as he only got 33 damage total, he's at -2.

Stabilize roll: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 2 = 2

Jarreck take a deep breath, shaking off the lingering disgust of the creatures attack. MOOORRT!!! Still not feeling well but seeing/hearing the druid go down, he heads back into the fight; launching himself back after the stalker who had been attacking him(green)

Combat Over.

curious why the AoO? the reach?

Jarreck steps past the elemental, suddenly fatigued as he lets go of the rage he had felt changing to concern for his fallen friend. Searching Morts pockets Jarrecks pulls out one of the potions of cure moderate wounds he had given him. Taking his time and feeding it to the druid.

cmw: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 7) + 3 = 16

this is what happens when you put an ='s instead of a +. (cmw: 2d83 ⇒ (49, 14) = 63)
Mort's now a super druid

@Jarreck Yes reach.

Mort is awake!

With Mort up, Jarreck sits down feeling pretty rough, but still trying to think things through. "Hey can anyone see where the other slayer came from? Something was crying in here a bit ago. I need some help though before I will be of much use going forward."

fatigued 2 rounds, 4hp

Mort wakes and sits up right, shaking his head as if to get his bearings. Then looks up at Jarreck.

"Thanks again Jarreck... I'm not sure what these kind of creatures were, but I know I won't approach them a second time like that." Mort feels tired and hurt and sighs, he looks to the ground and then back at the others.

"We can check to see what's happened in that other room, but I'll hang back myself as well, not really into taking the front at the moment."

The hedgehog snorts at the body of the slayer next to it, then looking at the group.

Looking down, Guaire speaks his approval.
"Well done."

Guaire takes a look in the room, looking for items to help Jarreck and Mort get a bit of HP left.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Guaire notices that the room is full of junk...empty boxes, some closed some open. Piles of debris...it looks hastily abandoned.

Are you searching thoroughly?

Is anyone going in the next room?

"Can't find a thing yet. Let's get to the room where the screaming came from. If there's a potential survivor it's our duty looking."

Unless the others get some healing items, Guaire grabs his adamantine flail and grabs the doorknob/handle.

Perception on door, sounds: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

An instant before touching the door, Guaire spots it, a small trigger like device that would certain send something painful into his frail mortal body....the door is trapped.

"May I heal you, Mort" Omo asks remembering the gnome's discomfort when he jabbed him with the hemochem last time without permission.

Assuming permission is received . . .

Black Hypogun: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 = 11

Omo then turns his attentions to Jarreck.

Black Hypogun: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 6) + 3 = 15

Black Hypogun: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 7) + 3 = 16

Once his comrades have been healed (3 rounds), Omo will ask Jarreck to check the next door for traps.

Mort grumbles a bit then says to Omo, "Go ahead, it's not like I'll turn down healing. But thanks for the advance warning."

"Jarreck, i'm going to need your expertise here, this door's rigged."

nice rolls Omo! Niles the con drain is still active so I max at 30 correct?

"Hmm, let me see here. That wouldn't have been very comfortable and possibly poisoned to boot. Let see what I can do."

Removing his tools once again Jarreck goes to work in the trap.

disable device: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Yes however I misspoke earlier, its not CON drain, its CON damage...which means it heals normally.

Jarreck disables the trap which was designed to send a dart, probably poisoned, into whoever tried to open the door. Jarreck notices that at the bottom of the door is an alternate way of opening it with your feet...this is how the Stalkers used it.

Jarreck opens the door to reveal....horror.

At least six bodies, dessicated from blood loss, lie scattered about the room, which stinks of ammonia. Their belongings also lay scattered about the room.

Guaire sighs at the sight of the slaughter, the hedgehog turns its nose away from the strong chemical smell.

"We were too late, 6 victims in here."
Guaire proceeds to lay them besides each other in as dignified way as possible. If there is a sheet he lays it over them.

Guaire Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

As Guaire goes to move one of the bodies, he notices something odd that stays his hand. A fleshy sac attached to the body... Kn:Arcana or Dungeoneering for more, or Heal

Kn. Arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Heal: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Kn:dungeoneering: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Jarreck helps Guaire to lay out the victems in a more respectable position. Using the scattered clothing to give the some semblance of respect in death if a blanket is not to be found. Stopping and looking closer to see what has stopped the watchman in his duties.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
The blood bath in the midst of the room blocks Jarrecks attention from the remainder of the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Seventeen examines the room but finds the scene of carnage too disturbing for a proper investigation. She tells the others in a monotone, "These creatures were not of the league. They worshiped destruction and the void. I wonder what they were doing here."

Guaire surmises that the fleshy sac is growing on the bodies...using their flesh as sustenance. It's certainly not natural.

Jarreck postulates that perhaps...the sacs are the birthing sacs of new faceless stalkers.

Jarreck and Guaire move the bodies, this causes the sacs to rupture!

Will Guaire: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Will Jarreck: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Guaire feels odd for a moment, like a dozen minds just screamed into his own. This goes away after a moment.

Guaire frowns as if being surprised by lots of bells and noise.

(Whilest he is briefly inside his head)

"By the clan elders, it's as if a dozen tortured voices were screaming.
But that fleshy substance is abnormal, 200%."

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25

"It's an infestation!" Omo checks the bodies for sacs, so that a new crop doesn't grow here.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Mort walks into the room and hears Guaire exclaim his recent findings and holds an arm against the door-post.

"If we need to get rid of those bodies, I suggest we burn them. Most creatures can not stand fire and will be consumed by the flames. It's nature's solution to almost every problem."

Are you guys searching the bodies or just the room? All six of the bodies have sacs on them...they pulsate grotesquely.

"We must destroy these sacs!" demands Seventeen, "The authorities must be made aware of this infestation"

We should search the bodies afterwards, too much to hope that Trett is one of them I suppose.

"Ugh, it's almost as if those sacks have faces looking at me, such disgusting features."

Without any apparent emotion Seventeen whispers, "Don't just look at them, stick your sword into them!"

Internally, Seventeen finds the room to be claustrophobic as if the walls are shrinking in on her and the fate of the six unfortunates fills her with existential horror... She finds that her eyes are not working very well again and that it's too hit inside.

She stumbles out of the room.

"Last time i checked this is a flail."

With the experience of the last close-up event, Guaire takes some distance and shoots a normal arrow in every undamaged pod.

JArreck backs out of the room and begins to search the outer part of the warehouse in earnest. Taking his time to look in different crates and upstairs as well.

perception: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 = 25 31 if given time for a "take 20"

**edit "Mort, can you find anything within the building that is moving other than us?"

"I can certainly look around. But I really suggest torching those things instead of bursting them all."

Mort looks around the warehouse with the helmet on and checks for more signs of life.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

Jarreck discovers a hidden cache!

Nothing else moves.

Guaire puts an arrow in the sacs and they stop moving...

Mort discovers a seventh body! Heal check please.

Craft: Alchemy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33
Craft: Alchemy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23
Craft: Alchemy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35

Spell Craft: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Spell Craft: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Omo examines the items Jarreck discovers.

"How were these people brought here?"
