Ariela Fiorell |
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Ariela agrees, "Dire rats to be exact. Try not to get bit by any of them or else you may find yourself bed stricken for a few days."
Eamae Toslandren |
After the briefest of pauses, Em moves up to put herself between the rats and her friends while swinging at the closest rat(c)
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Sorry! I'm back now!
GM Shady |
Both Ariela and Eamae see their blows hit their respective targets (B and C), Ariela merely drawing blood but Eamae bringing down the other rat.
The remaining rat strikes back at Ariela ...
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
... missing completely.
Rexus moves down the stairs and draws his sword cane, ready to join his companions in the attack.
Everyone (i.e. all the PCs) is now back up.
Ariela Fiorell |
Having drawn blood once, the investigator moves in to swipe back at the creature who just tried to bite her. She says, [b]"It's just a wee rat Rexus, I think we can take care of it."[b/]
Attack with rapier: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage with rapier: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Eamae Toslandren |
Feeling confident now that two of the threats have been neutralized, Em moves wide and almost behind the last rat and strikes!
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Her overconfidence causes her blade to strike the wall beside her, with a shower of sparks. The unexpected object in the path causes her blade to swing high and miss the rat entirely.
Zakli Warbleflinger |
"Why are you tearing out pages?"
Zakli tries to discern where the tune is coming from, and what the tune is.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Perform: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Aram Greyfeather |
"W-What? Oh..." Aram paused for a moment, looking confused before drawing himself up. "It failed me. I do not tolerate failure!"
Bluff 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Ugh...
Ariela Fiorell |
Airela turns and picks up the crumbled paper and examines it. Turning to the man holding the book she smirks and says, "Ah yes, I see where it went wrong."
She shoves the crumbled paper into her pack and turns back to Kessa. "Good followthrough on that last swing girl. Nice footwork as well."
Pausing to listen to the music for a moment she looks around the room. "Now then, shall we continue?"
Looking back at Rexus and his cane she smiles, See, I told you that wouldn't be needed. You can put it away now."
SM: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Take 20+4=24 Perception if allowed to search the room.
Eamae Toslandren |
"Are... you ok?" inquires Em to Aram. "I'm ok here Kessa, it seems we made it through this without a scratch." she smiles.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Killian Shaburn |
Killian is perplexed at Aram's behavior, but doesn't read into it too much.
"Yes, let's continue."
GM Shady |
@Ariela, your search doesn't reveal anything.
Rexus nods nervously. "Um, I have some magical ability. Some spells, of a sort. I'm not a wizard though. It's a tricky business, I'll admit."
A door to the west of the current room leads to a large, gloomy hall, its floor coated with dirty salt and sawdust. Bits of the wall masonry have been chewed or clawed away, revealing narrow, winding animal tunnels beyond. Steel rails are mounted in the ceiling, with a few lonely iron hooks dangling from them. A pile of stained pillows and moth-eaten blankets lies in a ten-foot-square depression in the floor to the northwest. A rusty, half-destroyed iron grating blocks access to a flight of stairs leading down to eastern side of the hall.
There's a rustling near the back of the room. Several small humanoid creatures emerge from the various tunnels in the walls.
Roll20 updated. I've placed the creatures and, in the interests of keeping things moving, placed your counters as well, in their starting positions.
Initiative
Kessa: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Killian: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Aram: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Zakli: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Ariela: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Eamae: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Rexus: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Grimples: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Round 1: { Kessa, Aram, Ariela }, Grimples, { Eamae, Rexus, Killian, Zakli }. So Kessa, Aram & Ariela are up.
Ariela Fiorell |
Watching Kessa dash off to assault the creatures was brave and stupid. Why come to them when there are so many? Let them get a little closer first?
She pulls out her crossbow and takes aim at the closest one to Kessa's south A and fires a bolt towards the small humanoid creature.
Crossbow Crit?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Crossbow Confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 1d8 ⇒ (3) + (8) = 11
Aram Greyfeather |
Aram moves up the side and draws his crossbow, leveling it at the top most creature and taking a breath before pulling the trigger.
Sneak Attack at 30ft + Pointblank -1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 241d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 51d6 ⇒ 6
GM Shady |
Kessa's blow immediately kills her chosen target (C), as Aram's and Ariela's bolts in turn skewer two of the other creatures (A and E respectively).
The two remaining creatures turn in the direction of Eamae, and each spews a torrent of something unspeakably unpleasant and smelly (smelling in fact of vomit) in her direction ...
These are ranged touch attacks.
Attack B: 1d20 ⇒ 9
Attack D: 1d20 ⇒ 6
... though both of them miss.
KL,yis1: 1d4 ⇒ 2
VB: 1d4 ⇒ 1
VD: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Both then retreat to the western side of the room.
Eamae, Rexus, Killian & Zakli are up.
Eamae Toslandren |
Eamae gasps as torrents fly by her, narrowly missing her as she moves away. "Yuck! What was that?!" she exclaims drawing her weapon.
Zakli Warbleflinger |
"Sorry, I was just about to mention that. Their vomit is poisonous... and they are covered in lice! Do not touch them... and if you do, don't touch me!"
Zafli summons up some of his inner magic and screams at one of the creatures, hoping to pierce his ears.
Ear Piercing Scream: Target is dazed for 1 round and takes 1d6 ⇒ 2 points of sonic damage. A successful Fort save (DC 15) negates the daze effect and halves the damage.
Killian Shaburn |
Killian's eyes narrow, and he draws his twin kukri. He advances on the creatures, waving them menacingly.
"They vomit on you? That..is the worst thing I've ever heard of!"
He grimaces as he nears the first remaining creature.
Melee Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Ariela Fiorell |
"Sorry, I was just about to mention that. Their vomit is poisonous... and they are covered in lice! Do not touch them... and if you do, don't touch me!"
Making a face she responds, "That is DISGUSTING! I am not going to ask how you knows this."
GM Shady |
Sorry for the silence (once more). Hopefully back now.
- @Eamae, your turn is to move & draw sword?
- @Zakli, I believe the range of that spell is 25ft + 5ft/2 levels, so 25ft and the nearest creature, per Roll20, is 26ft from you.
- @Killian, similarly your normal move is 20ft and the nearest creature is 24ft.
Apart from that, all fine ...
GM Shady |
I can't move my ocon on the map, but Zakli has the space and move action to close the range, so he will do that.
Firstly, mea culpa, for some reason you didn't have control of your counter. Fixed.
Second, confession time. It seems when Roll20 autofit the grid it didn't change the distances to match. So one square was not 5 feet and your starting point was a crazy distance away. I've remedied this by giving everyone except Kessa (who had moved into melee and would therefore have stopped) a free move (I've moved the counters) to re-fix the ranges.
Zakli, I've then added in your move from this turn. I think EPS requires line of sight, since it acts as a missile, so I've moved the counter to a position where you have LoS on D.
Killian, a charge doesn't really work, even with the additional move because of LoS, but I'll let it go here given the other issues.
After Eamae's move, Rexus moves forward and, with a deft turn of his hand, throws a cone of light, consisting of an array of many different, shifting colours, in the direction of one of the escaping creatures. Killian closes in for the kill on the other.
Will Save Creature B: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Killian, rolling into the southernmost creature, easily dispatches it. But Rexus' target remains disappointingly awake. Zakli, however, follows up with an ear piercing scream ...
Will Save Creature B, take 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22Will Save Creature B: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
.. which, once again, the creature seems to manage to effectively dodge.
Creature D is down, leaving only creature B, which has taken 1 damage.
Round 2: { Kessa, Aram, Ariela }, Grimples, { Eamae, Rexus, Killian, Zakli }. So Kessa, Aram & Ariela are up.
Ariela Fiorell |
Ariela takes a shot at the rat engaged with Kessa, but hits the wall instead. "Damn!"
1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 4 = 9
1d8 ⇒ 5
Ariela Fiorell |
Ariela hurries over to Kessa and looks her over worriedly. "Did any of them bite you? Looking back over her other companions in the group she repeats the question, hoping everyone is disease free.
Eamae Toslandren |
Em sheathes her sword. "Glad that's done with." she looks around at the group like Ariela to see if anyone is injured.
Anyone injured?
Zakli Warbleflinger |
"Yes, disgusting little creatures. We should wash our weapons and anything that touched them. Why, I am going to need a bath just thinking about them!"
Aram Greyfeather |
Aram whistles a tune quietly to himself as he stows his crossbow and strolls over to the others, grinning happily. "A fine shot Miss Ariela. And all of you, well done. Most impressive. I agree with Mister Warbleflinger, we should leave our bolts where they lie and clean anything that came in contact with them thoroughly."
Zakli Warbleflinger |
"Ah, yes - my gammy taught me a trick of the gnomes... can't do it but once a day, but here goes..."
Zakli uses his innate ability to cast prestidigitation, cleaning off all the muck.
Eamae Toslandren |
Em fumbles around for her waterskin, but when she looks up, she sees Zakli cleaning off Kessa's blade with his spell. "Oh, that works too." she laughs.
Perception on room: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Killian Shaburn |
Killian sighs, a long low breath.
"Did anyone else think things have been far to hectic lately? I haven't fought for my life this much...ever!"
He looks down at his claws.
"Um...If we are passing out magical healing....I would love to get my hands cleaned...this is disgusting."
GM Shady |
Following a search of the room:
In a depression, lined with pillows and blankets, the group finds the creatures' nest and trove. Among the blankets are the following:
- 12 gp, 185 sp, 342 cp
- a pair of quartz earrings
- a set of nine silver coat buttons
- a grey cloak, slightly gnawed
I'm going to assume you guys are distributing and tracking inventory.
Kessa |
Do you guys want Kessa to put group property into her backpack, since she's very difficult to encumber? I'll make party property into a separate section in her profile, and we can divide things up into shares later, like when we're near a store or when we level up. Of course, any gear someone can use would be an exception.
Do you guys want me to carry this stuff for right now? Later, when things are calm, we can deal with this stuff.
