@Carawyn- With your attack the Rats flee...

@septimus- you kill the one in front of you.

Woo hoo!

...shortly afterword's the music stops.

Weird! Color me spooked.

Lirana swings her weapon at one of the creatures again.

melee attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Does someone have the silver morningstar? I can't remember who picked it up.

Maybe a haunt? Some sort of pied piper effect?

Berenice's eyes widen when she hears Stellx's taunt.

"Aldy! Toss me that silver knife you found in the cache! I can use it as a sword against these things!"

Then she notices Laurent get swarmed by the rats.

"$#@%! LIRI! You got some kind of healing spell that can help Laurie? The rats are gonna nom him to death!"

Holding till I get that dagger so I can go to town on these critters.

everyone could technically use the silver ravens in their bag as improvised weapons. lol.

Stellx stops laughing and says "Hey now it cant be that easy." as he flies up and hides near the posts in the water using them as cover.

2 claw attacks vs lirana: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 171d4 ⇒ 11d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 61d4 ⇒ 2

2 claw attacks vs aldren: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d4 ⇒ 21d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 71d4 ⇒ 3

Poor Laurent; hurt, diseased and infested with lice. Might be enough for even Aldren to feel sympathy for the noble man's son.

The priest of vengeance steps back from the sludge devil (5' step), then tosses the dagger to Berenice(move?). Finding himself now in the awkward position of being weaponleas, he does the only thing he can...

If tossing the dagger to B is a move action, he will channel. If it's a standard, he does nothing.

Channel energy (no save, selective channel): 1d3 ⇒ 1 and they're immune to poison and the damned grimple is too far away so...meh

Septimus targets the other creature with his Mellee attack. 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 1 = 15 hiring for 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 so 9 damage.

I'm not sure what happened to the map, but it is showing as rather messed up to me, so I cannot see where I am and where Laurent is so I am not sure how far I need to move to make sure he gets included in a channel, but that will be my stated action.

Lirana will move just far enough to include Laurent in a healing channel, catching anyone else she can in it as well, bu excluding the creatures they are fighting. Yeah, I know I may get an AoO for this.

channel: 1d6 ⇒ 4

That may have been my fault. I was clicking while waking up this morning and when I went to move Aldren's token my iPhone screen went white and seemed to freeze. I think I just fixed it. Sorry!

Carawyn twitches the rope in her hand and it lashes out, wrapping momentarily around the nearest creature's legs and then lashing back, seemingly with no effect. Using whip to make a trip attack on the nearest dretch but that won't beat its CMD.

Whip: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

Laurent smiles as the warmth of positive energy fill him, filling the myriad bite marks he had sustained with new flesh.

"Thank you, Shelyn," he says quietly, closing his eyes in a moment of prayer.

Drawing his short sword, he moves to line himself up so that he and Aldren, or perhaps someone else, can easily flank the nearby fiend.

Move into position, move to draw sword. Thanks for the heal, Lirana.

@aldren- your fine on your move and standard actions.

@lirana- I moved you to where you could effect everyone, and use selective channel on enimies and get everyone.

@berenice npced for attack to move along fight. moved and attacked creature after getting dagger.

@septimus- you drop your weapon to the ground because it is now covered in grease. you hear Stellx laughing at you "Ha take that; to make it more even fight, bwHhahahahaha..."

berenice attacks creature near aldy included studied target- attacks: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5<-- she hits adjusted above in tactics

Creature near aldren attacks aldren. attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d4 ⇒ 11d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 131d4 ⇒ 2

Creature attack septimus. attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 181d4 ⇒ 11d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d4 ⇒ 2

Stellx casts grease on septmus weapon- ref DC 9: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

HEROES GO!!!!

Sorry, I was waiting for Aldren to post tossing the dagger to me before I made the attack. Also, did the dagger change size when Aldren got it? I thought it was a Medium-sized dagger, which...technically would have the same stats as my Small-sized gladius. And...can Berenice hear Stellx's taunt? If so she's gonna be P!SSED!

Sorry, I was waiting for Aldren to post tossing the dagger to me before I made the attack.

Link to post above where I tossed it to ya :-)

All out of channels. I'm probably going to try a Touch attack with a converted inflict light wounds spell, but I'll see what others can do first.

Oh, derp! I'm sorry! My other questions still need answering, though...

Aldren, it looks like we're flanking one of the lemures, so I'm going to have Laurent just attack it. The most I can do is 1 point of damage.

Laurent attempts to puncture the evil pile of goo with his sword, though he is skeptical of his potential effectiveness against the monster.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
I think I'm at a +3 here due to +2 Dex, +2 flank, -1 lice infestation.

Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Lirana scowls at Stellx. "You know, the next time you guys want to kill something and I try to stop you, just remind me of this."

If Septimus wasn't the one who picked up the silver morningstar earlier, Lirana will dash over to whoever it was and fetch it for him. She figures he has a better chance of hitting the creature with it than she does."

Going to take a gamble here... GM: I'm going to cast inflict light wounds without casting defensively. It will trigger an AoO. Going to post a series of rolls here for you to resolve according to the results of the AoO

Concentration check (only needed if hit by AoO, DC=10+1+(damage taken): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 Hopefully should be enough even if it hits me
melee touch attack (flanking): 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 2 = 21
damage (negative energy; Will DC 15 for half): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

With the sludge creature constantly banging against his armor, the half-elf has little attention to spare for the fey, though he files Lirana's comment away in a corner of his mind. Holy symbol in one hand and shield in the other, Aldren calls to Calistria to strike down the devil.

And I love everything there except the damage. Damn it.

@Berenice yes that fine on the dagger doing dmg gladius. and yes you can hear Stellx.

Stellx yells back at lirana pointing a finger,"You threatened me first bully!!!!, me a pretty fey not some two-timer, cloak stealing, symmetrical face, smelly human......"

Carawyn, her wounds healed by Lirana's energy, frowns as the rope doesn't do what she wants and twitches it, sending it lashing out again, again only to see it fail to wrap around its target.

"We think they must be immune to ropes," she helpfully points out.

Whip trip: 1d20 ⇒ 4

"WE SHOOK HANDS ON IT!" Berenice yowls as she fights. "When we're done here I'm gonna wring your scrawny little neck!"

She attempts to stab the lemure, frustrated that it seems to lack obvious spots that will hurt when appropriately stabbed.

[dice="Gladius" Attack]1d20+5[/dice]; [dice="Gladius" Damage]1d4+3[/dice]

She curses even more loudly as the creature seems to ooze out of the way just as she tries to strike.

NPCing Septimus- HE grabs the morning start from Lirana leaving his grease covered weapon where it fell. Quickly grapping the hilt he swings at the creature with his first opening.

mwk silver Morningstar: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 - 1 = 241d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

stirking and killing the creature septimus looks around for any more trouble.

will save negative energy: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7
AoO: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d4 ⇒ 4

the creature goes down after Aldrens attack. as a wave of negative energy engulfs the creature is gives out a hiss.

Stellx flies away as fast as he can yelling out. "You wont catch me." he says as he looks back.

I don't see any other lemures and stuff...does that mean we've won?

both lemurs are dead. Queue in final fantasy chime , Da , DA , da , DA Dump, de dum......

Aldren takes a few breathes to calm himself, picks up his morningstar, looks in the direction the blasted grimple fled, and repeats what he said at the start of this fight. "I bloody well told you so."

He kicks the sludge devil in the head, pushes his hair back in place, then a smile clicks back into place. "Now then...shall we be off? I'm in desperate need of a bath and massage after all this."

The half-elf briefly wonders about destroying the runes to free the grimple...and decides it's entirely appropriate to leave it trapped here until it dies.

Berenice tears after Stellx in a fury.

"GET BACK HERE YA PRETTY FEY!"

The smile shifting to more of a grin, Aldren watches Bee run after the fey. A heartbeat passes. Well, Mistress, if this is what you want, who am I to argue... He begins walking after Berenice, swapping out the morningstar and shield for his crossbow, into which he loads a bolt. He begins to whistle while inside his head he sings, A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go, hi ho the merry-oh, hunting a fey we will go.

"Now they run away?" Carawyn asks herself, watching the two lead. "But there still may be more to find here..."

She begins humming the strange music as she looks around the room where the fight was, poking around with her length of rope still in hand, trailing after her

Perception (low-light vision): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Stellx is flies away looking back, "Quit Playin, AGHHH, Quit PLAYING, AGHHHH." as he looks back yelling at Berenice and aldren chasing after him.

(bonus points for movie quote staring a known Raiders fan)

(BTW LEVEL UP TIME TO LVL 2)

there wont be any more combat for at least a week to level up. (remember my rule you can change anything on your character until level 2 including stats, skill points, feats, archetype, anything... but background and class.)

@carawyn- you don't find anything else of interest-

On the assumption that's a handwave that Stellx escapes...

Aldren gamely follows Berenice in pursuit of the grimple but, after several minutes of looking and even some taunts from the half-elf--"Oh Stellx... if you don't come out, you'll be stuck here foreeeever", and "Such a shame what happened to you family. Was it the entire family? ... I hope so."--he eventually gives up with a sigh, unloads and slings the crossbow, then shrugs at Berenice. "Missed opportunities rarely return. Shall we go find that fop? Tex? Rex? Probably upstairs drinking more wine."

Laurent withdraws a handkerchief from his pocket and does his best to wipe the sweat, and other fluids, from his face and hands.

"I think I might need to join him in drinking some of that wine, if he's got any. I can't say I was expecting to be vomited on, then covered in lice, and finally almost eaten by rats all in one afternoon," Laurent says to Aldren.

"By the way, thank you for that timely healing prayer," he continues, giving the Lirana a short bow.

Walking over to the arcane symbols on the wall, he inspects them,
though of course he has no idea what they might do. "Mlle Finwinkle, have you been able to make heads or tails of the magic in this room? Why would anyone want to capture slime monsters in the basement of an old livery? Also, are they producing the music?"

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

"Nothing from other worlds can leave this area as long as these wards stay in place," Carawyn announces, "but devils will keep coming until they are destroyed... We should probably destroy it unless we want more devils."

Any chance for knowledge of the music? Is it related to the ward? Also, will level up ASAP.

After another few minutes. Rex comes down and joins you. wiping the sweat off his face. he says "Wow look at you, we were getting worried that something happened to you down here. Beppe has better eyes to watch so he told me to go down here to check on you." you see that he has his sword out. "What did you find?"

(unfortunately there isn't anything more you can find out about the music. since you killed the rats you don't hear it anymore, but you do know the wards had nothing to do with the music.)

Out of character, I'm thinking whoever suggested a haunt is correct. Something messed up happened down there.

Aldren flashes a grin at Laurent and almost slaps him on the back. Almost. His hand winds up hovering in mid-air before he pulls it back with a chagrined chuckle. "Ah, yeah... You really got the raw end of it there. Not that you need to hear a half-blood bastard tell you so, but you did well. Next time we're at a cathouse, it's on me... and, uh, we'll make sure she doesn't have lice, okay?"

When Rex reappears, Aldren looks at him and professes shock and bewilderment, "What? No wine to toast our victory?" A wink betrays the jest. "We found some crates of supplies; weapons and some magical items. Along with a chamber inscribed with magical runes and a pair of... I don't know... sludge devils or something." The jovial manner fades a bit. "Sure you don't know anything more of this place that you can tell us? I get the sense something terrible happened to the Silver Ravens."

Speaking of magical items... I need to see if that bloody fey took that other cloak.

Berenice looks for Stellx.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

"We found rats too," Carawyn chimes in helpfully. "And a magic circle to bring more devils here. We wonder what this place really will be..."

@Berenice- Stellx quickly goes back into one of the hiding holes. and taunts you from inside " You might be a small ugly one to bad your not small enough, hahahhahaha..."

Aldren yells back at Bee when he hears the fey, "Do you see that red garment anywhere? Since the possum stabbed us in the back--and noooobody saw that coming--we may as well take it. And maybe give its bed a good de-lousing.."

"Would the Silver Ravens have been responsible for creating that summoning circle thing or did someone else do it in order to destroy the Ravens?

Rex moves to look through the belongings In the crates. after a few moments he pulls out the Iron case with a Mythril lock. after a moment Rex pulls out after checking his pockets a mythril key. surprisingly the key fits. Rex tells everyone and opens the case. inside you find the following.

"Ba gave me this key. I cant believe it worked."

Rex pulls out a scroll of misdirection, scroll of pass without trace, scroll of whispering wind, and a scroll of undetectable alignment.

in addition there appears to be hundreds of pages written in a secret code.

Rex mutters "This looks like a combination of elven, Styrix, celestal, and one other I don't recognize. This will take months to decode."

@aldren- someone already took it I think. (anyone want to do a loot list?)

@lirana- No one knows.

@Berenice- Stellx quickly goes back into one of the hiding holes. and taunts you from inside " You might be a small ugly one to bad your not small enough, hahahhahaha..."

"Don't need to be," Berenice says sternly as she nocks an arrow and attempts to shoot into the hole.

Shortbow Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14; Shortbow Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Carawyn looks around.

"We wonder where Berenice went. She probably shouldn't wander off here alone. Who knows if more rats will appear."

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Aldren hears the twang of a bow string being released, intuits exactly what is going on, and shrugs at Carawyn, "No idea, but I'm sure she's fine. She'll holler if she needs help. Don't worry about it." Still, he can't help the enormous grin on his face.

To Rex's discovery, "Hmm. I can speak Elven, roughly, but... I don't even know what Styrix is. Is there someone in town anyone trusts who might be able to decipher this? A flair for languages would seem to be in order."

On the loot, I can put together a table tonight if it would be helpful. On the red cloak, I thought we found one from the grimple, that we decided to leave as a peace offering, then another in the crates downstairs. Now, I was not thinking Aldren would take spellcraft, but I can shift a point into that if it would be helpful. I only get 2 points/level, so I'm a bit skill-poor.

Immediately suspicious, Laurent cocks his head to the side when Rex says that Ba gave him the key to the chest. "Monsieur Ba gave you that, you say? How did he get a hold of it?

For the moment, he just ignores Berenice's attempt to hunt for Stellx, as he has had quite enough of being vomited on for the afternoon.

When Aldren mentions translating the coded documents, he says, "I know a bit of Elven too. But I have a strong suspicion that if M. Ba gave Lord Rexus that key, he may be able to do the translating for us."

The Calistrian looks wryly at Laurent, "Yes, well, I did say anyone we trusted. A manipulative illusionist with an over-inflated ego too easily popped who is ready to send an entire city into riots and rebellion... Ah, you get my point, but still, you're probably right. I'd just rather any option but that."

"I don't have the spell prepared for today, but tomorrow I could prepare a spell for the comprehension of languages. Though that would just allow me to read what is written. If it is still in some sort of code I still would not be able to decipher it."

@Berenice- you hear a yelp and a "aghhhhhhh, you got me, aghhhh. I'm dying please no not again...."

@Laurant aldren and lirana- "He wouldn't say, I didn't even know what it went to at the time. He didn't tell me, he just said it might be useful. We should be getting this stuff outta here, and to a safe location. If no one else has any ideas I might have a few."

after a few moments he adds "Mister Aldren, I know it seem odd but even though he started some of this I have a feeling I can trust him. But I understand your hesitance you may be right. "

@lirana- "there is no need for the spell milady, you see I already have it to try." Rex casts comprehend languages. "I'm afraid that the code makes it unreadable. I will need some time with this. If you want me to try at it."

"This is what you get for breaking a g%#&$+n promise."

Berenice takes another shot into the hole.

Shortbow Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14; Shortbow Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

"A place that is a safe? Then we need to find a bank," Carawyn muses. "Perhaps a temple of Abadar, if the bankers would let us in."

"Oh, are you also a cleric Rex? And yes, by all means take a try at it. Perhaps you could write down what it says so that the rest of us can try as well?"
