aoo: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d4 ⇒ 2
it gently pats you on the back, as if saying , "Fine. Go!"

Hearing what Lem says about this darkness, Eleanor decides to run down instead, to gather up.

Come on Luca, go

Double move at twice 20Ft

Luca, hearing his master, starts to hurry a bit more.

double move at twice 10 Ft (I dont really want to make multiple fly checks down the stairs at dc 15 :P)

@rika within 5 ft, iirc Moose can use a move action to locate which square the badguy is in. still suffers the miss chance from total concealment. unless you call it otherwise, i'll presume high is good for you when you roll. my default is low misses.

slam@moose: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d4 ⇒ 4
grab@moose,constrict : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 161d4 ⇒ 4

eek!
the Darkmantle, alone with his prey, slams moose back after evading his blind swing, settling like a cowl around moose's neck and beginning to strangle him to death. moose takes a beating this round. His grunts of pain, and the sickening sound of their combat can be heard echoing down the stone stairwell.

[r4]: [20: rika], [20: lem], [15: adinomo], [10: eleanor]
[r5]: [26: darkness],

also, i thought moose was medium, checked the badger/wolverine entry and i see he's small... if he gets free, he can try and slip down the crack between the wall/stairs to get away, would give him a free check. if he rages, he'll stay conscious, and he has a climb speed, so he could possibly get away that way, and then just fall down ( onto whoever is there ::cough:: eleanor ). if i were a badger, its what i'd do to get the f%+& out of Dodge.

Hearing the sound of the badger in distress Adinomo shouts "I am not going back alone! Will you join me while we try to save Moose?"

that poor, poor, moose. ... but better him than me. still... lem pulls out his flute in full view of everyone and starts playing it.

inspire courage. +1 attack/damage to Moose & others who can hear him =X

Eleanor hears the badger crying out, trying to let know he needs help, so Eleanor decides going down is only selfish, and she should help this animal. She summons a centipede next to Adinomo sacrificing her shillelag spell for it.

Spontaneous casting for a summon natures ally lvl 1 centipede. (will last for 1 round, starting at my next turn)

Luca knows he can't really help, and decides to stay down here, watching out for any other problems.

Total defense

[r4]: [20: rika], [15: adinomo], [10: eleanor ( beginning 1 round casting )]
[r5]: [26: darkness], [20: lem],

Yeah sorry should have stated. I also use high = good.

Moose can feel the life draining from him and he panics, lashing out trying to get the thing to let go of him.

Rage + full-attack (to hit: +2 basic, -2 grapple, +2 rage, + 1 inspire)
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 61d100 ⇒ 24
Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 201d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d100 ⇒ 45
Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 181d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 61d100 ⇒ 83

Meh, only 1 potential hit, but good damage.

Rika hears Moose's painful cries, but there's nothing she can do from here. She rummages through her pouch grabbing the potion the sister gave her. She moves closer hoping to help Moose if he manages to come down the stairs.

[r4]: [15: adinomo], [10: eleanor ( beginning 1 round casting )]
[r5]: [26: darkness], [20: lem], [20: rika],

yup, 6 dmg , including the +1 from inspire right? sucks bout the concealment. if all of them hit, he'd be free =/

adinomo, you didn't want to go up alone right? shall i delay you till the next round?

eleanor, you'll begin casting this round, and finish next round just before your turn.

not hearing an answer to his question Adinomo stows his crossbow and pulls out his morningstar.

"Hello? Anyone down there? It's me Uldar! Sister Valanthe thought it might be useful if I joined you! 'Bring some civilisation to the wild' (Uldar does a reasonable impression of Sister Valathe's voice) were her exact words. Any idea what she meant?" a booming voice calls out.

(shouting up the 60 ft spiral staircase) Yes! there's a darkmantle attacking our friend's moose! be careful, it's shrouded in Darkness! we can't get to it on the stairs,but its about halfway down!

Bardic Knowlegde (Dungeoneering): 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 1 = 18

"Ah, darkmantles! Annoying creatures. And please tell me Moose is a nickname and not an actual animal..." Uldar says while jogging down the stairs.

GM, just to be sure: stowing and retrieving a weapon were my 2 move actions

"Hello Uldar! I was just coming up again to try to rescue moose, who is a wolverine! Will you help me?" a high pitched voice shouts from the stairs.

it is. you can drop your crossbow, draw, and move, if you'd rather.

uldar@initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
You ponder darkmantles as you descend. your medium size makes the cramped stairwell slightly difficult to descend.
a double move at 30 ft. would easily gets you within sight of the darkmantle, constricting a wolverine on the stairs in some inky darkness, a look of panic and fear on the animal.

maintain grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d4 ⇒ 4
the Darkmantle constricts again, its tendrils wrapping tighter around Moose, crushing some of his ribs, and squeezing him tight. Pitiful whines escape the nearly dead wolverine.

[r5]: [20: rika], [20: lem], [15: adinomo], [10: eleanor (1 round casting )], [7: uldar]

[r6]: [26: darkness],

No thanks, I am not leaving my crossbow. Adinomo is still unsure whether anyone will back him up, so this was a good way to use my actions

very valid, no way i'm going up in the dark to fight something that strangles little people ...

"Unless you took it with you as food for the creatures down here, saving it would be a good idea!"

Uldar attacks the Darkmantle with his spear!

Higher ground, Inspire Courage
To Hit: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

oops. well the 4 damage puts Moose over even his bonus rage hp, he drops unconscious, with 18 damage on him, and starts bleeding out.

stabilization: 1d20 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 2 - 5 = 3 and bleeds out a little more.

rika may not be able to post as much, for now she'll delay, as there's not a lot she can do from down at the bottom of the stairs.

Lem continues his bardic performance for a 2nd round, as adinomo begins to go back up the stairs. Eleanor finishes summoning her centipede, which climbs up to the Darkmantle and attacks, missing the darkmantle but distracting it a bit with its sudden appearance.

centipede@bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d6 ⇒ 1

eleanor then gets her regular actions this round after having finished casting. then Uldar steps in and spears the darkmantle a bit.

[r5]: [10: eleanor], [7: uldar ( spear attack pending ) ]

[r6]: [26: darkness], [20: rika], [20: lem], [15: adinomo],

Eleanor, hearing Uldar's voice, and his spear hitting something, decides to walk up the stairs.

Hii Uldar, glad you came to help us out. You keep the darkmantle busy, Ill go and help Moose. Luca, you stay with Rika.

Double move of twice 20 Ft. Acrobatics check for second move (which is in the darkness)

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Luca has no problems listening to Eleanors command, as he simply doesnt have to go up in the dark again. He moves close to Rika, looking for comfort.

Eleanor rushes up the stairs, her medium frame being a tangle, and trips on a slick step as she enters the darkness, landing prone on the stone steps and knocking the wind out of herself.

now Uldar's spear strikes true, and brings the damage on the darkmantle up to 8.

It doesn't seem to be very intelligent, and instead tries to slam Uldar, rather than flee just yet, as it can't escape with its meal. it crawls up the spear rapidly, flying really, and plops itself down on Uldar's head, attempting to engulf it while it strangles him.

darkmantle slam@uldar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d4 ⇒ 3
darkmantle grapple@uldar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d4 ⇒ 1
4 dmg.

moose@stabilization: 1d20 + 2 - 7 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 7 = -4

Lem moves a little up the stairs, and continues his performance, taking out his short sword while he continues to whistle the tune.

[r6]: [15: adinomo], [10: eleanor], [7: uldar]
[r7]: [26: darkness], [20: rika (delay)], [20: moose], [20: lem],

Adinomo moves up the stairs and tries to strike the darkmantle

Attack, Bard: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Now that's a nice string of 1's!

He completely and utterly misses

Eleanor mumbles something, while she goes to stand up, and tries to find moose.

Argh, these slicky stairs. Where are you moose?

You don't seem to have updated my location, where am I exactly?Also, can I cast stabilize on moose? I don't know If I can actually target him. Regardless, If I havent stumbled into him yet, and can't target him yet, Ill use my standard action to move upstairs till I stumble into him, If I can, I will cast stabilize on him instead

I don't know how much I can see with a darkmantle hugging me, but I'll try to give the others tips about their whereabouts!

it doesn't obstruct your vision, the description of it around your head in the grapple is largely flavor. Eleanor, you should be able to move yourself on the map as well, if you want/need to move yourself for any reason.

Adinomo steps up and swings, but clangs his morningstar against the wall, completely missing the darkmantle. With a ::fizzle:: and faint whiff of mistletoe, the gigantic centipede disappears in a puff of mist. Eleanor brushes herself off, standing up just inside the darkness and ponders what to do

updated your location. you tripped w/ the failed acrobatics check in the first square of darkness. you've only used a move action to stand up. with the darkness you can move half (10 ft.), and with the difficult terrain of the stairs, a move action is needed to go 5 ft. sorry if that wasn't clear for the medium creatures before

Alright, ill use the standard/second move to walk closer with an acro check then.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

in the dark the stairs are tricky and crooked, Eleanor you end up tripping again, and having to stand up again, making just 5 ft progress up the stairs.

Presuming Uldar will attack the darkmantle by dropping his spear and drawing his club

club,bardic, height: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 31d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
constrict: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d4 ⇒ 4

Uldar tries to swing at the darkmantle again, as he narrates his dance of death with the darkmantle, telling people where to go, and where he is, and where it is. it seems to distract him too much, as he sounds like he's injured further by the darkmantle.

stabilization: 1d20 + 2 - 8 ⇒ (4) + 2 - 8 = -2

[r7]: [20: lem], [15: adinomo], [10: eleanor], [7: uldar]
[r8]: [26: darkmantle], [20: rika (delay)], [20: moose],

i move up the stairs, double move, lets see if i can help at all. three against one...
acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 ... i get up there...
bardic performance still in effect for now. this is round 4 of it.

[r7]: [15: adinomo], [10: eleanor], [7: uldar]
[r8]: [26: darkmantle], [20: rika (delay)], [20: moose], [20: lem],

ofcs i didn't mean to tpk you with a darkmantle =X

Uldar will keep on telling everyone where the darkmantle is.

BTW, I'd like to use my shirt reroll on that last attack!
To Hit: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 4 = 15 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

that works =)

its up to 12 dmg now

Moose :'(

Since she hears more sounds of combat, but - more importantly - still no sound from her companion, Rika starts moving up the stairs towards the darkness, healing potion in hand to administer to the first person that is in dire need of it.

"Guys! Just tell me where the healing needs to go."

Am I right in asuming the acrobatics was only for moving in darkness? If not:
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Also I can't move myself when posting from my iPad, but If I make it I should be just outside the darkness I think.

"I wouldn't mind some healing!"

Uldar will use his sacred touch to stabilize the animal.

wribbit. the acrobatics is just for moving in the darkness at full speed. if you go half speed you don't have to make the check. its DC 10, +2 for the uneven terrain of the cramped crooked stairs. so dc 12

[r7]: [15: adinomo], [10: eleanor], [7: uldar (declared)]
[r8]: [26: darkmantle], [20: moose], [20: lem], [20: rika],

yeah, one thing i hate is i can't move things on the ipad either. moved you up to just outside the darkness. you could go in if at full speed, but w/ that acrobatics you'd just fall.. may as well stop outside and move up next turn. from the directions Uldar is giving, its crowded up near him.

@uldar, sacred touch ? is it a supernatural or spell-like ability from the trait? i.e. will you need to make a concentration check while grappling to do it?

Eleanor stands up, little bit suprised she slipped again, but she needs to get to moose. She'll try to be more careful this time

stand up and then single move at 10 Ft.

Ysah, it's the trait, but neither spelllikenIor supernaturalU

Attack!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 11

Adinomo swings his morningstar in a desperate arc and hits the stairs below him, the walls and the stairs above him but not the darkmantle...

Eleanor moves up the stairs more cautiously after hearing Adinomo clang his morningstar on empty stone. Uldar reaches out and touches Moose while the Darkmantle constricts him, stabilizing the beast, before falling unconscious himself, which you all realize as his directions stop.

the darkmantle dislodges, and tries to slam Lem, wrapping its tendrils around the gnome's throat, as it latches on and tightens its grip dealing 5 dmg to Lem

moose is stable, so taking him out of init.

[r8]: [20: lem], [20: rika], [15: adinomo], [10: eleanor], [7: uldar]
[r9]: [26: darkmantle],

::edited:: looked at the map and realized Lem is closest, so it slams him and grapples him, not adinomo

still standing... choking. think i can still free action continue my performance to round 5...

will try a swing with my short sword (1-5 on the d10 misses):
1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 121d4 ⇒ 11d10 ⇒ 3

its AC should be -2 b/c its grappling me! ahh crap still a swing in the dark, 3, i miss.

Its on me! its attached to me now!

eleanor, moved you on the map, you bump into Adinomo with a single move, so can still have a standard action free if there's anything you want to do last round, otherwise i'll ready you till you hear you can swing at it

Rika joins the huddle (10 ft move) and holds out the healing potion in the pitch blackness.

"If anybody needs it. I have a potion ready here," she yells up, because there's no way for her to get any closer.

Can I ready to administer or give the potion if anybody wants it and comes close?

Uldar is actually still standing (orcish feriousity...) Last action before he goes down

To Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Now I'm unconscious and in dire need of healing! Hint Hint...

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Miss: 1d100 ⇒ 59

"I have had it! If this is adventuring I wish I stayed home! Take this you nasty beast!"
