JORGAN!! You healed me though I teased your Yak!?! /me swoons.

Round 7

Wren looks down to see Jorgan's dwarf hands caressing him with initial shock, then a pure happy smile over his face.

"Thanks, Dwarf," Wren utters faux-grimly, hiding his pleasure. He turns and fires again at the V'hoff's dance partner ooze.

1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 - 4 - 4 = 15 to hit (PBShot, -cover; -4 combat);
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 piercing damage.

Wren will step away after firing.

Torgan will watch for the orc to return from his escape route and for the resurrection of the troll (provided he would know that trolls regenerate [which I think is pretty common knowledge, right?]).

"We kin't let ye die, elf. Who else'll get th' stuff o' th' top shelf?" Torgan teases.

Vanderhoff tries to leap backward, away from the gelatinous blob, but slips on some slime and falls headlong into the moving cube!

Jorgan heals Wren's wounds with a divine light. Wren moves behind the dwarves and fires another arrow into the ooze.

Vanderhoff attempts to dodge the ooze but it is too quick for the dwarf and completely engulfs him.

Round 6 Acid damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Vanderhoff Fort: 1d2 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Paralysis Rounds: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 4) = 12

The acid begins to work through his armor. At first he is able to struggle but after but a moment the dwarves muscles cease to move.

Torgan watches the dwarf run around the corner as the ooze continues to squeeze through the cavern.

Daktani hits a switch on the portcullis and opens the gate as he moves in behind the ooze.

Kraygan spins around, looking for another enemy. When he spots Vanderhoff suspended in the slime he nearly loses his rage.

"Hoff... yer floatin!" He exclaims, not quite understanding what he's seeing.

He'll probably delay until after Wren (or someone else) tells him to attack. If the slime is still up, he'll swing at it. If it's destroyed, he'll move to attack the half-orc.

Round 8

Wren eyerolls as the he remembers how much he hates gelatin salad...and how much worse dwarfatin salad must taste..not to mention the amount of hair getting stuck in one's teeth.

"The only thing I'll be getting down from the top shelf will be Vanderhoff's urn unless you boys take down that ooze!" Wren points to Kraygan as he fires his own arrow through the dwarfmass.

1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 - 4 - 4 = -1 to hit (PBShot, -cover; -4 combat);

Jorgan shrugs with a slight blush.

As the ooze closes in he raises his axe and swings with all his might!

dwarven waraxe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 8) + 3 = 14

He then steps away. Jorgan prefers pineapple in his gelatin.

Torgan lashes out at the gelatinous cube with his axes after it engulfs his cousin. "Dammit, Van!"

Maulaxe: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 2 = 21

Just realized it might drop from a single blow. Apply Waraxe damage first, then if the ooze drops, Torgan will throw his maulaxe at Daktani.

Did Torgan notice if the troll's wounds were regenerating while he held his action and watched the beast?

Jorgan and Wren's Arrow pierce the slime. The cube begins to shake rapidly as it leaks contents all over the floor. Soon all that is left is a sticky puddle on the floor with a frozen dwarf laying in the middle.

Kraygan moves at the half orc just as Torgan hurls his axe at Daktani. The axe clatters off of the wall as Kraygan embeds his blade into the half-orcs chest. Daktani falls to the ground in a heap.

Torgan inspects the troll and does not see that the troll is regenerating for whichever reason.

Upon seeing the orc fall and the ooze melt, Wren dances over to the troll to put an arrow betwixt its eyes as he takes no chances.

3d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 5, 3) + 3 = 17 Coup de Jerk damage & DC 10+damage fort save

Only when that is done does Wren see to check on Kraygan.

"Does he live? Why doesn't he move? PIDDLESPOT!" Wren wails, looking at the dwarfbrood. "Jorgan, you fixed me...FIX HIM!"

"I can't!" Jorgan shouts back. "M'power's on'y so small! Here, feed 'im this." Jorgan pulls out a [i]potion of cure light wounds and pours it down Kraygan's throat.

"I've seen this b'fore!" Torgan exclaims as he pulls a pint of beer from his pack. He uncorks the small beerskin and pours it into a mug. The head froths up really nice and a deep oak and rose hip smell permeates the room. Torgan pours the beer down Kraygan's mouth after Jorgan.

I know all dwarfs look the same, but Hoff's down, not Kraygan. :)

"RRRWWAAAAR!" Kraygan gives a victory cry as he pulls his bloody axe from the bloody orc. "Ok, who's next!!"

He looks around for more enemies, finds none, then notices Vanderhoff's still form in the remains of the slime.

"HOFFFF!!!" He gets about two steps toward his cousin before his rage-fueled vigor wears off. Breathing heavy, he stumbles to the fallen priest. "Torag's beard, he's got the death stare!"

Vanderhoff lays on the ground, eyes closed, for a moment, then suddenly his eyelids flutter open as he sits up, taking a sharp intake of breath. Lifting his arms and watching the slime drip off, he give his companions an embarrassed look. "I slipped...."

Standing, he tries to wipe off as much slime as possible, shaking himself like a dog. Peering around, he asks. "Are they all dead?"

Sorry! Sorry! I was drunk! The sun was in my eyes!! The dog typed my post! It's not my fault! It was the server maintenance!!

Wren lets out a sigh of relief as *Vanderhoff* moves, speaks, and shimmies ooze again.

Ah good, he's making a mess...must be back to normal.

"Thought you were a goner, dwarf," Wren agrees, feeling more safe than when they had 3 enemies at once. "Let's see if any of them had any clues as to what is going on."

Wren will take 20 to examine the ooze, troll, and orc for loot, notes, clues, treasure, handiwipes.

"Hoff, Yer ALIVE!!!" Wiping his eyes (must be sweat, definitely NOT tears) Kraygan gives the priest a harty backslap.

Wren begins to examine the bodies as Vanderhoff comes to. On Daktani he finds.

  • A potion with a soft blue hue.
  • A potion with a little smoke emitting from the top.
  • two more vials that when touched do not leave any prints on the bottle.
  • two smoke pellets
  • And a Tangleburn bag in the half-orcs hand.
  • Leather armor

  • Morningstar of masterwork quality
  • Shortsword
  • A belt with runes etched along the length
  • Crowbar
  • Thieves tools
  • A key
  • Garnet stone
  • 30 gp (6 ea)

The troll did not have any items that Wren can see but the ooze did seem to drop a few items from it's body.

  • A steel scroll case containing a scroll
  • A chain shirt of masterwork quality
  • A falchion
  • A star rose quartz amulet
  • 20 gp (4 ea)

Let me know what all items you take or put it on the loot list :)

Vanderhoff nods in recognition, but is clearly chagrined from his encounter with the ooze. Trying to focus attention elsewhere, he begins praying to Angraad as he inspects the items for magical auras.

"These look interesting, don't they?" Wren says, holding up the strange bag.

Wren grabs the tangleburn bag, thieves tools, and the smoke pellets (unless others want them).

"When you all are ready, maybe we finish scouting out this basement...how big could it be, after all?" Wren moves through the ooze room and waits by the statue for the trapsyak trapsdwarves to come open it.

"Maybe this way..."

Kraygan watches Wren sniff at the potions with a scowl on his face. "I ain't forgot about yer circus tricks, elf. Hoff almost became some kind of jello pudding 'cause of you. You get a notion to runnoft like that again, you let us know first."

"It'll give us a head start on retreating." He adds, under his breath.

Then, grabbing one of the potions, he gives it a sniff himself to see if there's some sort of trick to figuring them out.

"Runnoft? RUNNOFT!?" Wren irks. "I was 10' away from one of you bearded worrywarts when I 'runnoft'! As I recall, 10' is about the length of a standard pole. I'm not bound to stand that close to stay that close to you all the time. The stink hurts my nose."

"C'mon, we got work to do...after all, if I didn't 'runnoft', you'd all be outside waiting for your beard to grow grey."

Wren grumbles by the door.

Vanderhoff detects quite a few magical items from the stash. Between Kraygan licking the bottles and Wren with Vanderhoff examining the contents the group is able to identify the majority of the items radiating magic.

  • A potion with a soft blue hue. Potion of CLW
  • A potion with a little smoke emitting from the top. Potion of vanish
  • two more vials that when touched do not leave any prints on the bottle. Potion of Pass without Trace
  • A belt with runes etched along the length
  • A steel scroll case containing a scroll Scroll of Hold Portal

Wren grabs the Tangleburn bag, smoke pellets and thieves tools from the half-orc's body as he looks about the room for any form of traps. He finds the room to be quite free of anything new.

Wren moves into the room that the ooze came from. The walls of the chamber are pocked with skull sized cubby holes, each containing a single brass or clay urn- some long since shattered or dented, others still intact. A lightly colored stone statue depicting a burning chariot wheel occupies the northwest corner of the room. Two iron doors on the eastern wall allow egress from the room.

DC 17 Knowledge (Religion):
You recognize the statue as Jingh, one of Iomedae's celestial emissaries.

Wren closely inspects the statue and notices a small crack in the wall behind the statue. It looks as if it might be a door to the north!

Kraygan turns purple at Wren's words, his grip throttling the handle of his axe. As the elf walks aways he turns to go over the half-orc's gear, but continues to grumble loudly.

"Yer lucky I don't have a 10' pole, cause I'd introduce it to yer arse! Oh.. nice belt."

Before heading into the next room he checks the bloody gash the troll gave him, then looks to his cousins and notices most of them also bear wounds. "Hoff, ye got any more healing prayers? If not, someone should probably take that potion."

Unless someone else is able to check out the magic belt I'm willing to throw it on and experiment.

Kraygan grabs the thin cord and places it around his waist. At first he doesn't notice much of a difference. Though when he goes to pass by some of his companions he begins to feel a bit lighter, a bit more agile even.

After a few moments of testing out the belt Kraygan tears it off and thrusts it at Wren. "Here, take this. I'm pretty sure it's a belt of elvenkind."

Trying to regain his dignity, he grabs the curing potion and downs it like a shot of brandy.

Kraygan hands Wren the belt and kicks the door open. The hallway beyond continues for roughly 20 feet to another door.

Opening the door leads to a room that an old cast-iron furnace and a pile of coal occupy the corners of the cramped chamber. Ash and fallen rubble clutter the area around the furnace where the chimney above has collapsed.

Sitting in the corner is a battered, dirty man with blond hair wearing a torn shirt. The man's arms and legs are tightly bound with rope. As he hears the group crack open the door to the chamber is eyes initially go wide with fright but quickly turn to pleading as small tears begin to form. His scratchy voice breaks the silence. Help me! Help me please!

Wren tries on the belt, not sure what to expect from it...but is pleased when it adds to his natural bounce and relieves some of the pain in his knees when he jumps.

"Thanks, Kraygan," Wren says, bouncing on his toes. "I haven't bounced this well in years. Decades, actually."

Kraygan hands Vanderhoff one of the half-orc's daggers to free the pig farmer. He then takes a minute to gather all the platinum, count it, and stow it back in the bag.

"Lots of coin here. Funny place to stash it, right next to a prisoner." Looking to the man, he gestures back the way they came. "Ye can stay with us or escape by goin that way. Would suggest ye wait with the yaks outside though. Could be more trouble lurkin about."

Regardless of what the man decides Krayan is determined to press on. Opening the door to the south he turns and kicks open the next door heading east.

*Swoon*. Well done pushing.

Wren looks again at Othdan, wondering if he recognizes the man. Suspicious, he begins to challenge the man on his Trunauness (unless of course Othdan recognizes Wren).

If necessary:
"So...you're from Trunau are you? Where do you live? Where do you eat? Where do you work? Describe it to me." Etc. Wren just wants confirmation.

When Wren is satisfied with Othdan's story, he will nod him along, but not before pressing for more info.

"What else can you tell us about this place? Have you seen anything more than the troll, half orc, and a big gelatin monster? Where were you looking when you were captured?"

Wren will follow Kraygan when the man's story is out.

You probably don't recognize me Ma... Maa.... Master Wren. I work the pig farm in Trunau. I live and eat in the commons.... My pigs get sent to the Ramblehouse for Cham.

Kraygan cuts the man's bonds and he stands holding his wrists.

The last I remember I was wandering outside of the Plague House. I was. I...I.. don't know anything about a troll or gelatin monster. I was outside and everthing went black..... I woke up in this room.

Kraygan kicks in the door to the south which leads him to the meeting room once again.

Embedded into the floor of this chamber is a ten-foot-diameter granite emblem of a faded gold and white longsword. Four passages lead out of the chamber in different directions. A portcullis blocks the southern exit, and a sturdy wooden door leads west. A ladder in the southern corner of the room leads upward, and a small chest and decrepit bookshelf face one another from opposite walls.

Not paying much attention to the room Kraygan kicks in the door leading east.

This once-grand flagstone hall is filled with statues of different celestial creatures in every corner. An old fire pit in the center of the room is bordered on all sides by moth-eaten bedrolls, while shovels, picks, and other digging equipment lie strewn about a shallow tunnel bored into the northeastern wall. The ceiling above the tunnel has collapsed, leaving a hole open to the sky above a pile of burnt rubble.

Half-buried in the rubble lies the body of a half-orc, partially obscured among the loose rocks and dirt.

Torgan moves to investigate the lifeless corpse in the rubble. "Hmm... Wonder what they were digging for?"

Without removing the body from the rocks and dirt Torgan is unfortunately not able to see much besides a pair of legs and a partially covered face of the half-orc.

Wren moves in to look around, scanning the debris and room.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 Perception

While the dwarves look to the dirt and stone, Wren goes to the sky and will carefully ascend part of the ladder, peeking out to see where it comes out upstairs.

Where does it come out?

"Good question." Kraygan examines the rubble with Torgan. If it looks safe to do so, he'll pull the corpse free from it.

Take 20 on Perception (24). Is the rubble a result of them digging into this place or digging out of it, possibly toward Trunau? Kraygan is mostly a mountain dwarf and has an alternate trait replacing stonecunning, so the other dwarves might be better at this.

Wren inspects the ladder leading up and opens the door above slightly. Looking around Wren realizes that the ladder leads to the haunted infirmary above. One of the beds is now pushed out of the way and a bottle lays on the floor nearby.

Othdan thanks everyone for untying him and heads out the way that Kraygan showed him.

Kraygan examines the rubble and does not see any traps. Though he is able to tell by looking it over that the tunnel was dug leading away from Trunau. The rubble must have fallen on the half-orc as it was digging.

Grabbing a stone at a time Kraygan hurls them off of the half-orc enough to drag the body free. Once the body is free Kraygan quickly sees that it was wearing a suit of sturdy chainmail. On it's belt is a dagger made from silver and a holy symbol hangs from the half-orc's neck.

DC 10 Knowledge (Religion):
You recognize the holy symbol to be that of Nulgreth, the blood god.

Slightly sticking out of the bodies pocket is the tip of a wand. Though before he can grab it Kraygan hears a shrill screeching sound coming from the tunnel. Before he has time to react a pair of rats emerge from the tunnel. The rats have small tufts of black shimmering fur that almost seems to blend into the shadows as underneath is rotting and translucent skin.

DC 15 Knowledge (Religion):
You recognize these creatures to be Shadow Rats

"Blast'd vermin!" Torgan yells as he tries to cut deeply into the red rat.

His maulaxe clangs against the ground as his waraxe cleaves into the rat.

Demon rats!

Jorgan steps into the room and draws his axe. "Back up, we'll surround them!"

Torgan wildly swings his axes at the red rat before him. His waraxe swings right at the rat but somehow passes right through the creature leaving it unharmed as Jorgan rushes into the room.

The rats scurry towards Kraygan and Torgan. The red rat's body is hard to follow as it seems to blend with the shadows. Both rats bite at the dwarves.

Torgan and Kraygan both get an AoO against the rats as they are tiny and had to enter your space.

Red Rat bite vs Torgan AC 18: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

The red rat's teeth scrape on Torgan's armor as Kraygan feels a sharp sting in his leg. The countless fighting seems to be wearing on him as he seems weaker.

Wren bounces off the ladder and moves to the sound of the dwarven squealing. He proudly draws his bow as he moves, something he hadn't been able to do in a long time.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 Know (Religion)

"Rats, huh?" Wren looks...and looks again. "Oh my..."

"Shadow Rats? HERE!?"

Questions: How to hurt them? Why won't weapons work? (Obv, I know, but I need the roll and GM to let Wren know what to say.) Standard action to come.

"Urghh.." Caught flat-footed by the surprise rat attack, Kraygan whips out his axe and swings it hard, then steps back.

Waraxe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Kraygan goes before any advice from Wren is possible :( Shadow creatures against low level PCs is just plain mean.

Also, I'm unable to edit the map at the moment - can someone 5' step me back?
