[GM Striker's The Ruins of Azlant] Table 1

Game Master Sam Sturkie

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Deth grunts in pain from the trident digging deep into his flesh. "Look Out! The east and west walls are illusions!"
Are we in initiative rounds or can we act.

Will DC 15: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Delia lets out a curse as tridents suddenly appear! "Blast, you're right Deth! Everyone move to the east!" She immediately begins one of her tunes to embolden her allies. Inspire Courage!

Cannot wait until that's a Move action...

Will DC 15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Despite the others pointing out the illusion, Aenon is unable to see where the trident came from. All he can do is stare blankly into the wall, expecting some vile monstrosity to come leaping through it any minute.

Will 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Nox is convinced the others might be halfway mental, but he waits to see if they might have been correct after all.

"Think the door is safe Momo?" he asks and nods her over.

"I think so," Momo shrugs.

Deth grunts in pain from the trident digging deep into his flesh. "Look Out! The east and west walls are illusions!"

Will DC15: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Momo has trouble understanding "illusionary walls." She stands around stupidly, not understanding.

You can act

Liking Delia's suggestion of concentrating everyone's efforts on the east wall, Deth steps directly to the east, readying his buckler and disappearing behind the wall. He yells out. "There are two of them over here!" He swings at the one directly in front of him.
Club Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Not sure if I'm allowed to act, not having seen through the illusion and all, but if I am:

Unable to dispel the image of the wall and not keen on being attacked from behind, Aenon moves to the western wall and gets ready launch a vicious kick should anything come flying through it.

Ready an attack against anything coming through the wall.
Unarmed attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Round 1:

Momo takes out her bow and an arrow. She readies an attack for when a foe becomes visible. "Where are they? All I see is wall!"

To hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Damage (Longbow): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Nox delays, waiting on an enemy he can actually see before deciding what spell best fits the current circumstances.

Two figures burst through the wall looking to retrieve their tridents while another pair moves into the thick of the fight!

Is it time for Deth to attack again?

Nox begins casting Sleep on the red enemy.

DC 14 Will to resist.

Round 1
Skum -Threw tridents and moved.
Aenon -Hit
Nininox- DC14: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9Sleeps Red
Momo- HIt
Deth- Hit

Round 2
Still unable to see any enemies through the wall, all Aenon can do is keep ready for enemies sprouting from the walls.

Unarmed attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Deth continues to swing at the skum in front of him.
Club Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
And rolls horribly. At least he didn't set himself on fire this time.

Don't forget to add the bonuses to attack and damage from Inspire Courage everyone!

Delia sighs in exasperation at her companions' unwillingness to take her word as fact. "Aenon, just take a step forward! There is an enemy directly in front of you!" With that, Delia steps up to the illusionary wall and stabs through it towards green as she continues her rousing tune!

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Free action to maintain Inspire Courage. Free action to take 5' step. Standard action to attack Green.

Oh crud, I forgot. Please remember to add +1 to hit and damage on my attack.

I don't think the +1 matters for Deth's roll

Round 2:

Momo steps five feet to the South, aiming an arrow at the orange Skum. "Sorcery! All of it! These lands are so different from what I expected! Hide Scuttles! Bury yourself in my pack!" Momo unleashes the arrow. She furrows her brows in concentration, one ambush after another!

To hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Nox takes a 5’ step to the south, and pulls a dagger, hoping to set up a Flank for Aenon as he did so. He swings at the skum.

Could someone move me 5’ South? Thanks.

Attack 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Damage 1d3 ⇒ 3

Reeling from the skum onslaut of claws and teeth Deth stumbles backwards through the wall and casts a curing spell on himself. "Yes, its a wretched hive of skum and villianry!" he says in response to Momo's exclamation.
5' step and then Cure Light
Cure Light +2 for Fey foundling: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Feeling better he faces the wall, expecting the skum to be attacking out of it.

Aenon -Hit (O)
Nininox- Miss
Momo- Hit
Deth- CLW
Delia - Miss

Round 3
Skum (R)- Sleeped

bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

As the skum crumbles to the ground, Aenon turns to see his comrades fighting through what seems like a solid wall. Seeing no other way to aid them and trusting their word about the illusions he takes a deep breath and dashes at the wall, bracing for the inevitable impact. As he stumbles out the other side of the wall, he barely avoids a trident thrust his way and makes his way behind the skum, sending a vicious kick their way.

I'm hoping you're allowed to move through illusions like that. Anyway, a move and an attack against the green skum.
Unarmed attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11 Wow... these rolls are just amazing...

Delia continues to attack through the illusionary wall, but her attacks keep missing her target and she hisses through her teeth while continuing her singing.

Really, can you not roll less than a 18 against Deth :)
The fury of the skum overwhelms Deth's defenses and continues to drive him back. Once again he draws upon the healing power, but a look of worry crosses his face. "Umm, a little help over here." he exclaims.
Cure Light: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
5' step back an throws Cure Light on himself

Nox casts Daze on the skum slicing up Deth.

Will DC 13 to resist.

Round 3
Aenon - Pulls up just short of the wall and waves his hand through it.Feeling no resistance he charges through making a flailing effort to strike the Skum. That will be an AoO from each
bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 Dmg:: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Trident: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Dmg: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Round 3:

Having a clear shot to the purple skum, Momo fires off another arrow.

To hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Extra damage from crit: 2d8 ⇒ (7, 1) = 8

Momo's arrow pierces the Skum in its throat dropping it to the ground.
Surrounded and alone the final Skum fights back fiercely but is quickly subdued by your combined might!

Tresure
(4) +1 Tridents
(4) CLW Potions

P2
This room has a simple stone floor and undecorated gray stone walls. The stark nature of the room is interrupted only by a large circle of silvery metal set into the floor in the corner of this room. One wall of this room is mostly transparent, providing a view of a larger, adjacent chamber.

Oooo, magic weapons! Very handy for underwater adventuring!

Nox pauses to let the other heal before he suggests pressing ahead.

Goodberry quantity: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6
Goodberry quantity: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3
Deth uses the wand to enchant some berries and consumes 5 of them, and hands 2 to Delia. "Amazing shot." he says to Momo, grateful for her killing the alpha skum. He picks up the one of the tridents and after trying it out a few times, he puts it back down, finding it a little too unwieldy. He does pick up a Potion. "I'm completely out of healing except for the goodberries and my healer's kit." He pauses. "If we're going to continue, I'm going to make my skin as hard as bark."
This leaves Deth with 2 berries. I'm willing to continue, but if we do, Deth casts Barkskin on himself.

Unless there's an objection to continue...

P3. Main Hall
A curving ramp along the northern wall of this chamber ascends to the floor above. The east and west walls each have a single door, and a double door stands in the southern wall. Murals cover the east and west walls in this space, depicting kind-looking human adult figures smiling benevolently at children. The children, for their part, are smiling and appear healthy and happy. The figures, both adults and children, have tiny jewels orbiting around their heads in shining rings that resemble halos. Bold words are painted above the door. The Azlanti text at the top of the murals reads, “Ours is the Great Work to see humanity achieve its greatest potential.”

The other four of you all need to take a potion. Nox plans to stay back out of the action, so I need one less than the rest of you. Also, if you can use a trident, please grab one! Lets get ready to do this.

Perception 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

”There’s some sort of clockwork mechanism in the north wall over there. And hold on, yep, I’m pretty sure there’s a trap in here. Look up in the ceiling at those panels. There’s something there.”

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Where in the room are the trap panels located? Next to the stairs, doors or in the middle of the room?

As Aenon spots the murals, he sighs and, for a moment, stands reminiscing about his home far away. Catching himself, he shakes his head and points out the panels in the roof.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Deth stops himself from walking into the room, but try as he might he can't spot the trap. "Are you sure?" he asks.

Pannels are located above the doors to the east and west.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Momo doesn't notice much but nods to Nox's observations. "Well, if there is a trap, I need to be able to see it to disable it. Maybe we should spend extra time meticulously examining the room before continuing."

"If you look closely up there Momo" Aenon says and points to the panels in the ceiling. "I'm guessing the two doors are trapped, but that's about as far as my knowledge of traps gets me."

Deth keeps watch as the others work on disarming the traps. He begins to regret throwing the Barkskin so soon. :(

You could always charge into the trap if you want to get the most of your spell ;)

”How about shooting or throwing something up at those two panels? That might spring it. If not, maybe throwing something at one of the doors might activate it and keep us safe,” Nox suggests.

Momo, having no idea what the trap is, looks towards the ceiling. She looks for a trigger that could activate a trap. Sorcerous place! I don't like it here. Fake walls, sentient caltrops, invisible traps...

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

"I just don't see it. What makes you think the ceiling is part of it? Here. If we all stand safely outside, I'll shoot an arrow from the entrance. That way, we can close the doors if it gets too crazy."

Momo pulls her mechanical companion out of her pack and gently sits the arachnid on the floor. "Scuttles, do you know anything about this place? Scuttle towards me for yes. Scuttle outside for no." Afterwards, Momo gently picks up Scuttles and lovingly returns her companion to her pack.

Momo retreats to stand safely outside so she can fire off an arrow. If waits for the others before shooting (unless they prefer to stay inside.)

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Delia looks around the room along with the others, attempting to locate the trap, but failing to do so. "And not a single one of us have a shield." She grimaces.

Perhaps Deth could go Total Defense and spring the trap? Actually... GM, what would you say the range on Delia's Wordstrike is? There's none listed in the ability.

You could always charge into the trap if you want to get the most of your spell ;)

I think I'll pass on your suggestion :)

[dice=Perception]1d20+8

Delia looks around the room along with the others, attempting to locate the trap, but failing to do so. "And not a single one of us have a shield." She grimaces.

Perhaps Deth could go Total Defense and spring the trap? Actually... GM, what would you say the range on Delia's Wordstrike is? There's none listed in the ability.

Deth looks at his buckler. "Umm... What's your idea, Delia? Because the only one I can come up with is to go trigger a Nymph and have it chase one of us in here while the rest hide behind the invisible walls and somehow get it into the room. And that's a crazy plan."

She glances at the small buckler. "I was thinking perhaps try to use the shield as protection against whatever the trap might be. Not sure if that small buckler would be enough."

"I'd rather not be a guinea pig." Deth says to Delia with a smile. Looking over Nox, Aenon and Momo and seeing no real progress with trap detection or disarming, Deth picks up one of the fallen Skum. "Especially since 'Bernie' here has volunteered." He takes the tines of one of the tridents and punctures the clothing of the skum on the back near the shoulders, trying to make a handle for 'Bernie'. Unless someone objects he then 'walks' Bernie into the room.
If Deth needs to grow to provide leverage he will.
