Jean-Phillipe makes a solid hit on the weird little thing, but it hangs onto the back of its rat and hisses at him!
Trevor seeks to deprive the creature of it's mount and squashes the rat! Rat stew!
SQUISH Trevor leaves a red messy splat on the ground! Down to 1 rat and one <beat up> weird little thing.
Lazare and Faradin to go.
Faradin's slash misses weird little creature as it is flung free of its dire rat by Trevor's smashing blow.
Lazare? Are you out there?
|
Lazare moves adjacent to the "rat thing" and speaks loudly and clearly in common, Listen here boy, we don't have to kill you, but this big brute likely will. Hands up and on your knees, and we can talk this out. Whatever happens next, is up to you.
Lazare holds his rapier defensively but remains on guard for whatever this thing will do
Lazare's rash isn't so bad either.

Characters may go. Both critters are AC14.
Trevor winds up and smashes at the nasty Lazare is fighting
@ Lazare - doesn't that ability to move into a foe's square only work when the foe is larger than you? A hafling is small, but the weird thing is tiny.
Trevor BLATS the weird little thing, crushing it to death.
One rat remains for Faradin to strike (AC14, 4 hp) You can consider if flanked.
The rat whirls and snaps, incisors clicking, surrounded by enemies!
It lunges at Jean Phillipe, but the man gracefully evades the clumsy attack.
it is the players turn; assume the rat is flanked.
More stew for the pot!
And the last rat is slain....the sounds of the fight die away, replaced by panting of the warriors.
You are in a room with two large boilers, multiple valves, pipes, gages, and other arcane-technological equipment.
Trevor gathers the rats for the cookpots. Huh, might have trinkets in a nest if there is one. Trevor gazes about.
Well, Lazare loses 1 point each round to bleeding until you hit a DC15 heal check. You can roll or you can assume a total of 2 points lost.
Looking around, hidden in back of one of the boilers in a nest of sorts - straw, shredded cloth, bits of nasty dead things, etc - and 2 unused sunrods and 2 cure light wound potions (1d8+5).
Jean-Phillipe gazes around the room. While the great boilers are cold, he believe all they lack is a source of heat (from the furnace below) in order to make hot water and pipe it around the complex.
He even finds a spot he could have squeezed up into this room from the furnace below. But it would have been a tight fit, especially with a dire rat gnawing on your face.
Maybe have Lazare drink this healing potion? Trevor holds it out.
Keep heading North and check the rooms.
You maneuver around through the room with the ghoul on the rack. He is still there -- he struggles to reach you, straining at his bonds, jaws snapping and clawing, teeth clicking.
There is a door in the south wall of the room. This is the last room for you to investigate.
Trevor listens at the door!
Trevor hears nothing with that roll.
Trevor opens the door!
(I am going to give other folks a few hours to post other ideas, then we will go with the "Trevor flings the door open" thing)
Several wide tables and gigantic washbasins fill a laundry equipped to service hundreds. The place looks like it was repurposed as a failed surgery, though, with one table heaped with remains, while corpses lie discarded in corners. A stained sheet hangs between the second and third basin (from the south), dividing the room roughly in half.
Standing looking at you is a creature wearing a bloody nurses uniform, holding a knife with one hand and caressing the blade with her other hand.
Hello...I am Doctor Oathsday. Can you tell me your symptoms so that I may perform the proper surgery upon you?
You can hear a faint whimpering coming from the middle basin.
Well Doc, I have this thing with my arm, every so often I have the uncontrollable reflex to do THIS.
Trevor charges.
The doctor sidesteps the half orc's powerful blow easily.
Yes, I can see that there is a problem with the rotation on your left shoulder. I can fix that she says, spinning her knife in her hand.
Her ac is 18.
The remaining 3 players can go.
Flanking yes - with 4 of you and one of her, only the first attack will probably not flank - not a lot of tactics for a 4 on 1 fight; her CMD is 21 so she will get an AOO.
She gazes intently at the spinning Lord of Cats. As he backflips past her, she slashes with her knife
, which is a critical threat;
, which fails to confirm, so
she cuts him along the right rib cage with a glittering move, bending backwards herself in time with his backflip, for
Jean-Phillipe does manage to land a backfist punch on her hip.
Faradin and Lazare get to go, they should assume she is flanked for them.
Honestly, I am not trying to roll this well!
Yep. Sorry about that. There are some healing potions in the group. And I still give you the attack since you are only at zero.
You will make excellent emergency rations!
Faradin connects with a solid strike on his charge!
The creature is run through the left forearm!
It is definitely wounded.
Lazare needs to go!
The doctor laughs, a high pitched trilling sound. She takes a five foot step such that she is flanked by the party, definitely unconcerned (or perhaps just loony).
She swings at the mouser
, but she misses.
The players may go....the doctor is flanked by all.
Trevor winds up and unleashes a big ball of spiky doom on a stick.
The doctor covers her mouth with her left hand, stifling a giggle
Really, young man. Perhaps work in the field of manual labor might suit you better than combat? A modicum of skill IS required for combat, after all
Looks to me that you have a case of lead poisoning. No doubt the cause of that stabbing pain.
She hisses in pain. Lazarus is up (as she missed him with her attack he can do his special thing)
OK, someone (anyone) give me some commands for Lazare.
