Round 0 Precise Bombs, Precise Shot, Point Blank
Fellgrim moves up and tosses a bomb at Sartoss ...
Bomb: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 for Fire: 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1, 6) + 2 = 13
Bruce W. |
Remember in a surprise round you only get a move or a standard. A 5ft step is ok though.

Asuna Kaneda |
Asuna steps a little closer and sends in Kirito.
"Sorry lispy, but thanks for the information." Asuna says with a wicked smile and throws a ball of ice at the snake.
ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
cold dmg, dc 17 fort or staggered: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 4, 6) = 22

D'oh! ... please retcon Fellgrim to a 5' step forward and a bomb. Sorry about that
DM Kludde |
Bruce moves in, as Fellgrim steps up as well, and throws an explosive at the priest.
Asuna covers the priest in cold snow. The snake bites the pain, and seems to slow down a bit, though not as much as Asuna would like.
Fort: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Bruce, now in position, strikes the serpent priest on the head with a brutal blow.

In case you need actions for the other two, Caranthir could use his surprise round to move into the room, then his full round to take 2 shots. Jelani could move in so that he threatens Sartoss (considering he is most likely a caster of some sort)
Caranthir Silverhand |
Caranthir moves to support his companions.
Longbow Attack (rapid fire)(deadly aim): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 291d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 91d6 ⇒ 6

in airport on way home, should be back to regular posting...move action for surprise round and shooting full round for round 1. Can't access map today, but should be good going forward.
crit?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 282d8 + 12 ⇒ (8, 2) + 12 = 22. 37 dmg total
Thistle Voltare |
I moved Caranthir where it makes sense, assuming this guy doesn't have reach, otherwise he could take Jelani's current space if Jelani just moves in so that he can take a full round attack when he can actually take a full round action.
DM Kludde |
With a well-aimed shot, Caranthir plants his arrow between the eyes of the priest, attuning him to the afterlife.
Combat over
DM Kludde |
The priest had two magical rapiers, fashioned like snake's fangs, a golden holy symbol and a magical pearl.
In the room, the library consists largely of books in Aklo, His desk holds some gold, and three rubies. There is also a large serpent’s fang made of stone, about a foot long.
Thistle Voltare |
Thistle looks down with pity on the slain priest's body.
so easily deceived, and so quickly cut down. Your false god is shamed.
He helps his friends search the room and the body, looking curiously at the stone fang.
"is it a key, perhaps?" he puts the oddity in his pack after the group has cast detect magic to sweep the room and identified what they can.

DM Kludde |
The large fang is not magical, nor are any of the objects in this room, save for the pearl and the fang-like rapiers.
The door to the south leads to a hidden passage, back to the entrance of the shrine.
Only a single door left...
Thistle Voltare |
Thistle nods to Bruce, the door opening, trap finding expert, and makes ready to see what lies beyond. The sooner they clear this hell, the better.

Aklo is on my list for next level :P.
"Wow these snakes are really gullible huh?" Asuna says with a wicked grin.
linguistics to check out the titles for the books in aklo: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Caranthir Silverhand |
Caranthir nods to Jelani. "One for you, one for me," he smiles. The elf then attempts to identify any magic items before they move on.
ID pearl: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

It ate my post from earlier.
Bruce will check the final door for traps as Asuna goes over the books.
Perception: 1d20 + 12 + 1d6 ⇒ (19) + 12 + (1) = 32
If it looks safe he will wait until everyone is ready before opening the door.
DM Kludde |
Four stone pillars support the lofty ceiling of this chamber, each patterned like writhing serpents. Between two of the pillars is a large hammock. The room was once beautiful, but is befouled with piles of garbage, bones, and excrement in every corner.

Round 1 Precise Bombs, Precise Shot, Point Blank, Cover
Fellgrim tries to toss a bomb through the doorway ...
Bomb: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 7 - 4 = 15 for Fire: 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 6, 6) + 2 = 19

Bruce tries to tumble between the orgekins legs.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
I think he gets a +5 to his CMD because I am trying to get through his square. If Bruce fails he draws an AoO and stays in his current square.

Thistle Voltare |
GM - are these considered humanoid?
Thistle waves his arms, ending in a clenched fist, pointed at the ogerkin in the middle of the doorway.
Cast Hold Person, DC16 Will save or frozen in place
Thistle waits patiently to be able to get into the fray, and casts a protective spell on himself. Shield of faith
DM Kludde |
Fellgrim tosses a bomb among the half-ogres, and blasts back ones of them while engulfing the other in fire. Thistle tries to hex the ogre in the doorway, and while its limbs stiffen up, Bruce effortlessly manages to slip past the big lummox.

Jelani should be able to make it in the room now, and worry about the blue ogre first. Next round someone can take a full round coup-de-grace action (which I can do by 5 foot stepping into the space bruce just left) Kirito could also make it into the room.
Caranthir Silverhand |
I had been wanting to cast gravity bow and true strike as buffs before we entered, but hadn't had time to do so. I'll go ahead and roll as if that's okay, but if you want me to redo the dice if it's not, let me know and I'll adjust.
From behind his companions, Caranthir rains arrows down on the ogrekin. Aiming at the non-held one
Longbow Attack (rapid fire)(deadly aim): 1d20 + 9 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 20 = 322d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 6 = 101d6 ⇒ 3 13 total

A bit meta-y, but makes sense.
Caranthir shoots the ogre kin with his first, perfectly aimed, arrow, though he misses with the second one.

Bruce still has his standard, just wanted to see if he made it in.
Bruce tumbles past the paralyised ogrekin giving an approving nod back at Thistle. He then takes a swing at the other orgekin with his morning star.
Melee vs blue: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Asuna Kaneda |
Asuna sends Kirito in to bite and claw at the stunned ogrekin.
bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 241d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 91d4 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Meanwhile she casts a spell and bars of force appear around the ogrekin as if he is locked in a jail.
Silent image, dc 17 disbelieve
DM Kludde |
Kirito makes short work of the stunned ogrekin, after which Jelani rumbles into the room. While illusory bars appear, the ogre kin takes a swipe, but is completely distracted by the sudden appearance of his prison, and falls for it completely.
AoO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
From his prison, the ogrekin strikes at Bruce
Spear, Bruce: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Following that, Bruce suddenly feels a stab in the back. Looking around he sees a blurry, fast-moving creature running about.
Short sword: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 2 = 241d4 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) - 1 + (1) = 3

DM Kludde |
Blurry creature might not be where you expect it to be: 1d100 ⇒ 85
Jelani doesn't take kindly to nearly-invisible creatures appearing, and smashes this one into a bloody, unidentifiable pulp. It never saw it coming.

This resistance cannot how to withstand or righteous onslaught. The last ogre will fall quickly.
Knowing his companions can take the last ogre down with relative ease, Thistle decides it would be best to make sure there are no more invisible creatures in here.

Round 2 Precise Bombs, Precise Shot, Point Blank, Enlarged, Fighting Defensively AC 20
Fellgrim moves into the room, drawing a potential AoO while fighting defensively before tossing another bomb toward the ogrekin ...
Bomb: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 4 = 22 for Fire: 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 6, 2) + 2 = 11
DM Kludde |
Spear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 221d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Fellgrim draws a stab from the caged ogre's spear before he drop a bomb on the large humanoid. The explosion throws the ogrekin back onto the illusory bars surrounding him, and the impact knocks him out. He lies on the floor, bleeding out.
Combat over!
The room contains little more than a filthy hammock, and the door in the back leads to a set of stairs, descending downward.
Bruce W. |
Bruce is curious about the creature that ran up and stabbed him. He will try and identify the squishy remains.
Know: 1d20 + 12 + 1d6 ⇒ (18) + 12 + (2) = 32
Thistle Voltare |
Thistle helps with the wrap up, making sure they have gone through all the rooms and cleared for all of the loot. This would be an interesting trip back to town before they headed back down to the next level in the ever-deepening spire.
Nice job everyone! Looks like we just need to wrap up, level up, and move on to the next level! Nice work again as always DM Kludde - you are a joy to play for!
DM Kludde |
The stairs descend to a level that looks of very similar construction to the previous, into a small hall. Across this small chamber from the ascending staircase, another staircase winds down into darkness. Off to one side is a calm pool of murky water with a pedestal in its center. Atop the pedestal, a golden serpent idol grasps an emerald in its fangs.
Thistle Voltare |
As the men and woman who have become close to Thistle descend into the next region yet to be explored, he holds his hands and stops them for a moment.
"Stay close. The gods have seen fit that I should guard your lives with my own life force."
He closes his eyes, reaching out with his senses. Green, almost imperceptible tendrils of spiritual force reach out from the Nagaji, one each to his companions, even one to the dinosaur that has grown so attached to the lovely Asuna.
"Your life force is now linked to me. Lets move forward"
You all now have life link to me.
Caranthir Silverhand |
Life link...awesome!!!
Caranthir takes a moment to nod in satisfaction at Thistle's additional powers. He then prepares himself for what might come, casting several preparatory spells. He also casts detect magic on the room they have entered.
"I am ready to proceed," he announces.
casting false life, mage armor, and unseen servant with the metamagic extend rod. I'll give the unseen servant a potion of CMW to use if someone falls but is not dead.

As Thistle is blessing the party, Bruce drinks several extracts to enhance his performance.
Heightened senses +2 to knowledge and perception, Darkvision, Investigative mind (double roll on Appraise, Knowledge, Linguistics or Spellcraft), Heroism +2 on attack rolls, saves and skills.
He will then cast detect magic from his wayfinder and examine the emerald.
Perception: 1d20 + 11 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 4 + (5) = 23 +3 for traps
DM Kludde |
Bruce moves closer, and examines the emerald, seeing a faint transmutation and enchantment aura.
Suddenly, the idol seems strangely attractive: the emerald starts to sparkle and glow and the eyes of the snake seem... mesmerising.
I need a will save from everybody in the room

Whilst Kirito seems amazed by the pretty snake, Asuna seems little affected hopefully
DM Kludde |
Jelani, Thistle and Caranthir cannot resist the temptation to move forward, and just like that >poof< they disappear from view.
Kirito too, is drawn to the idol and disappears, though Asuna and Bruce manage to resist the temptation to step toward the idol.
Still awaiting a roll from Fellgrim
The temptation seems to be a suggestion of some sort, and the disappearing comes with the reek of ozone - a teleportation spell

Ack! Hurry up Fellgrim! I need to know what happened to me!
