Gruk casts another Flaming Sphere, and puts it in Marathek's face
flaming sphere: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 6, 5) + 3 = 16
(Round 1/4, DC 15, Reflex negates)

reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Daal rushes up the passage to help Elatharas. "Back up to me Elatharas"

Kaz, Mitleid and Dolrin are up

Apoloies but I'm on my phone today, so I can't get at the map. I'm assuming Kaz, like Daal will have to move to get to the enemy. If this is correct, please move me in that direction. If not, I'll use my Strength surge ability to give either Ela or Daal a +2 to hit on next attack. Thanks.

hey brv I know it's an odd question, but the door right behind Elathras to the south, did we leave that door open?

You needed to double move Kaz. I would think the door is closed in order to slow up the skellies.

I was waiting for Mitleid to go so Dolgrin doesn't get in his way.

I'm trying to decide if Dolgrin will attack or open the door so we can exit that way and then flank. Of course since Dolgrin is still a paladin, he probably would prefer a frontal assault than hiding in the hall and jumping the club wielder from behind, oh well.

Yessir, Dolgrin is a paladin. Not saying more.

Dolgrin
Believing that anyone who would attack the party from the rear must be evil, Dolgrin runs forward using his smite evil he swings his falchion at the club wielder.

20 ft move, attack: Falchion, power attack, add smite evil if appropriate +3 to hit, +2 to damage, +3 deflection bonus to AC
attack: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 2 = 9 for damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Roll an init check Dolgrin as the Smite Evil did not work.

Dolgrinint: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Still waiting on Mitleid.

Beltin had spring-loaded wrist sheaths. Drawing is a swift.

Beltin, I would allow that with a dagger but a wand is too long. You would break the wand or your wrist long before being able to use it.

Sorry missed the update. Mitleid will move a step forward and shoot.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Hearing Daal bid him retreat, Elathras swings at the club bearer one more time and steps back.

strength still at 15, full attack: + 1 long sword, power attack; with shield AC 21, 5 ft step back.
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 for damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

The both miss
Initiative Order Round Two
Elathras missed and backed up
Irenicus
Beltin
Marathek
Daal
Mitleid
Kaz
Gruk
Dolgrin

Irenicus fires a magic missile at the attacker.

magic missile: 3d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 3, 2) + 5 = 11
trip: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Waiting on Beltin. Still have not completely resolved his last rounds. actions.

Ok, I am not waiting any longer. The barbarian withdraws into the room and starts cowering.

It's not often the opposition runs away from us!

Daal
Mitleid
Kaz
Gruk
Dolgrin

Maybe he can be reasoned with?
And throw in his lot with us, maybe?
Just a thought...

The 24 misses?
Looking at his bow Mitleid shakes his head. "I can´t hit it, it seems!"

He ran down the hall and is cowering, someone with some charisma should talk to him, looking at you Gruk!

Oh, right. I failed my INT check, obviously! :o

⋮ (back tracking slightly)

When the barbarian legs it into the other room, Wdrozgrúk will follow.
Motioning the others to stand down.
He'll look into the room, without entering, and try talking to the barbarian:

"That was a bad start!"
"We didn't want to fight you, actually."
"We are trying to find a way out of this maze."
"Could you tell us why you attacked us?"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Kaz follows behind Gruk. "I know this place could make any of us crazy, that's for sure. Give us your word you are done fighting us and let's figure things out ."

Aid another Diplomacy 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Elathras looks down the hall to where the man ran, looking at Gruk and then Kaz, shrugging his shoulders. "Yeah, what they said, Gruk is smart, you should listen to him!"

aid another: diplomacy: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15

I should put points in Diplomacy later.
If I live that long (this is RA, after all!)

The 24 misses?

Looking at his bow Mitleid shakes his head. "I can´t hit it, it seems!"

I need to do your turns when I have had coffee Mitleid! I read the damage as your attack roll. They both hit, but he is still up.

Is Dolgrin doing anything before I take his turn?

Ok, I am not waiting any longer. The barbarian withdraws into the room and starts cowering.

that wasn't his turn?

Then ignore my post. Mitleid will shoot again!
Then Mitleid shoots twice more
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Mitleid, he doubled moved around a corner. You would need to move 75' to be able to fire at him now.

Daal moves and wonders what they did to provoke the man into attacking them.

Dunno, make an intelligence check Daal.

Gruk is still trying to talk to and reason with the barbarian,
back a few posts (#4227)

So is Kaz. See prior post.

Int check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Yes, I got all the diplomacy checks. He does not appear to be responding to them.

He picks up a pot and throws it at Gruk:

ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 3 - 4 = 16

It lands all over Gruk. The contents are green!

"I'll take that as a 'no', then!"
"Let's carry on and forget about him."
"He's pathetic, anyway!"

Says Gruk as he cleans the mess off himself.

Elathras shrugs and asks Gruk, "Do we want to keep checking these doors here in the hallway of do you want to go to the dirt room that had the ceiling falling?"

did anyone check magic on the club wielder or his gear?

botting Dolgrin

'That's very curious behavior, I wonder if there is any evil going on here behind the scenes.' Dolgrin wonders to himself as the casts detect evil.

All he has to do is concentrate in a direction and there is no evil coming from the barbarian.

The greem stuff is starting to burn Gruk.

"Oh damn! I think I've got some green slime on me!"

'Oh no' "Oh no, got Gruk!" Elathras drops his sword running over to gruk, drawing one of his knives as he does so, handing the knife to Gruk, 'Here Gruk, wipe it off with this, green slime is nasty!"

are we still in combat rounds? I thought combat had stopped, until he threw the slime.'
