The Ghenett Manor Gauntlet (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Did Prayer's -1 on saves affect the creature's Will save?

No, forgot about that, thanks for reminding me. That means it's blinded now.

Prayer allows SR so Vita will need to roll to bypass it.. If she fails its unaffected by it..

Moving forward Morde swings his sword with all might.
Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 222d6 + 17 ⇒ (3, 5) + 17 = 25

Yvell casts a spell (Shocking Grasp) into his sword then steps forward and attacks. Spending a point to make his blade keen.

SR: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 3 - 2 = 16

GM reroll+1: 1d20 + 11 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 11 + 3 + 1 - 2 = 29

Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 3 + 7d6 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 + (5, 1, 1, 6, 6, 3, 5) = 41

Crit conferm: 1d20 + 11 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 3 - 2 = 21

Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 3 + 7d6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 3 + (3, 4, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2) = 37

So thats 31 physical and 44 electric

Prayer allows SR so Vita will need to roll to bypass it.. If she fails its unaffected by it..

Oh, crap, I didn't realize it had SR... That would apply to Milo's Produce Flame as well....

Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

edit: nm... he made it! =) Kaboom!

Spell Resistance check for prayer: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

It is unaffected by prayer, and therefore is not blinded -- Sorry about that. At least we've got our +1's.

It seems your forgetting the +5 to hit and dam Morde..

Kujo is waiting to see if Oloch's sword attack hit and did any discernible damage to the creature.

cast defensively: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

I keep forgetting I still get my normal melee attack too here goes. So if it's still there.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 5 = 31

damage: 1d6 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 5 = 15

Crit conferm: 1d20 + 11 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 5 = 28

Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 5 = 14

I think I will stick to the level 1-5 scenarios...

Morde gets closer to the beast which swings it's claws at the half-orc as he passes under it's arms. Morde swings his greasword at the large creature and cuts a deep wound in one of it's claws.
Aoo for passing reach vs. Morde: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 + corporeal instability, DC17 Fort

Right after Morde Yvell rushes into the room and hits it another three times. The beast growls one last time before it disappears to the plane it comes from.

combat over

Rounds after combat

Round 1, Morde heals five, Vita takes five, Vita casts cure light wounds on Morde.

cure light wounds: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Result. Morde has no damage and Vita has 5

Kujo snorts in disgust. Whether it is because realizes his chance to battle has passed or he is offering a commentary on the creature fallen before them, none can be sure. The barbarian does scan the pool for anything useful.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

At the center of the pool is a bag.

Rounds after combat

Round 1, Morde heals five, Vita takes five, Vita casts cure light wounds on Morde.

[dice=cure light wounds]1d8+9

Result. Morde has no damage and Vita has 5

Yvell got hit in the initial round too. So there's a bit more damage there somewhere.

Perhaps because he played no part in defeating the creature and does not feel deserving, Kujo does not approach the bag, but he nods to the others to indicate its presence.

You're correct.

So, here's how it happened...

Round 1 Yvell takes 11 damage, Vita absorbs 5 of that damage
Yvell 6
Vita 5
Round 2 Morde takes 13 damage, Vita absorbs 5 from Yvell and 5 from Morde
Yvell 1 damage remaining
Morde 8
Vita 15
After Combat Vita absorbs 5 from Morde and casts CLW on herself
Yvell 1 damage remaining
Morde 3 damage remaining
Vita 7 damage remaining.

Trust me, all this accounting is just as difficult in a face-to-face game

Yvell draws a wand handing it, with a flourish, to Vita. "I say, would you mind topping me off?"

After that he then cars detect magic and moves towards the bag.

"Whole barmy place is slum." Milo mutters, peering around warily in case some other abomination intends on showing up.

"Don't granny the Aspis had ta do down on that bludger, do you?" He asks absently, as he glances into the fountain.

"'Course, they might have done an end run." He adds, noticing all the doors leading back into the house.

"Reader room probably one of these." He adds, clearly with no further insight into which door might lead to the library.

The bag and its content are not magic. The bag looks like a burglar's loot bag.

Hmm... does Wizzy have mage hand? Don't want to get my feet wet! =)

which way folks?

He does indeed..

Wizzy casts Mage Hand to retrieve the bag and check its contents..

Wizzy retrieves the bag from the pool. It contains 117 pp, six red spinels (worth 50 gp each), a yellow topaz (worth 500 gp), and a fire opal
(worth 500 gp).

"Ha.. coins and trinkets. Mere distractions for a true warrior."

"True Warriors need new armor yes? This will go along ways to an upgrade.. Lets continue."

where to next?

Umm... south side, start at the eastern door and work our way west? Aka, the left side.

shrug, for lack of any further direction.

Are there any signs that the Aspis folks came through here? They seem to have navigated the golems and the chaos beast without issue, so am thinking perhaps they went a different way, but one never knows. Maybe someone's restocking =)

The only sign is that they picked a gem from one of the statues so they at least entered the artrium somehow :)

Yvell walks to the nearest door saying, "This way chaps." Then opens it.

Yvell opens the first door. The ceiling of this luxuriously appointed bedchamber is twenty feet high. The room is furnished with a four-poster bed, two large wardrobes of ebony inlaid with rosewood and camphor, a silk upholstered chaise longue, and two leather chairs with a carved table before them. A great rug, the pelt of some exotic beast, lies at the center of the cool stone floor. In one corner, an opaque silk curtain partially hides an ornate tub for bathing and a marble chamber pot.

"Useless luxurys. But someone with means lives here. Means a worthy foe!"

Kujo takes a few seconds to examine the room from the doorway. At the site of the bathtub, he visibly shudders.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Weird double post. Not sure how that happened, but must have resulted from my adding the second Perception roll??

"That bath looks nice.. Shame we dont have time for it.." Move up to the next door and try it..

Kujo takes his time to search the room but does not find anything of interest for your mission.

Wizzy opens the next door and the room behind it looks pretty much the same.

To speed it up a bit, all three rooms on the south side of the building look the same. Where next?

Kujo takes a minute to examine the statues and look for tracks of anyone who might have passed before them.

Take 20 on statutes for Perception
Survival for tracks: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

The only tracks of somebody who passed is a missing sapphire from one of the statues' foreheads and broken stone from its scarred forehead scattered at its feet.

Where im posting from wont open the map so i have no clue where to move next..

"Figures a bunch of thieving aspis would have been through here.. Always wondered how they manage to slip by all the dangers we face.."

Wizzy moves over to the left door and opens it for a peak..

Stroking his sword carefully Morde waits for the faceeater to jump... this seems just too much like a place for him to wait in ambush.

Wizzy opens the next door and opens it. Behind the door is Passad's study. A thick rug with interlocking geometric designs covers the marble floor of this lushly appointed office. Two fatly stuffed leather sofas, an enormous desk of red-tinged wood carved with ancient Osirian motifs, and a large high backed chair fitted with colorful silk cushions dominate the northern half of the room. The focus of the southern half is a tall iron safe, black and imposing, angular runic designs painted in gold about its heavy surface. Four statues of roughly worked marble—winged dwarven forms holding lanterns—flank the safe, two to a side. A wood panel at the center of the western wall stands strangely askew, and a whiff of sulphur lingers in the air.

"Now that's swell." Milo mutters, peering past the others into the study.

"Like as not to find a reader or two in that."

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

"Barmy bastard probably animated the safe." He adds, sardonically.

Milo peers into the room. Everything looks normal. The safe has a heavy double-locked iron door. The wood panel is a door to a hidden room, it's ajar.

Yvell casts detect magic while placing a perfumed kerchief over his nose to hide the sulfur smell.

Wizzy moves in and searches for the source of the stink..

Perc: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

He takes 10 on Know Arcana for a 27

Various keepsakes and tokens are scattered across Passad’s desk: a marble figurine of a mounted knight fighting a dragon, a crystal globe within which floats a single blue-green feather, and a stylized gold letter opener encrusted with semiprecious gems, along with various business papers. The statues are of dwarven origin, sentinels traditionally used to decorate the approaches to important buildings in the Five Kings Mountains.

The 6-foot-tall safe of dwarven design has two heavy locking mechanisms on its gilded door. DC22 and DC25 to unlock

Wizzy follows the smell and moves into the hidden room. This once lush room looks as though it served as the lounge of a wealthy man, with long couches and comfortable chairs. The west wall is lined by a large cupboard and bookcase, and a lavish green rug covers most of the floor. The source of the sulphur stench wafting through the manor is lying on the floor: a battered, vaguely humanoid figure of gears and metal, with malodorous yellow-gray fumes seeping from cracks in its motionless form. West of this thing lies a body, bruised and battered. A large hole about eight feet in diameter mars the north wall, as though something exploded out into the room. Sharp bits of metal are embedded in the walls and furniture. The bookcase has also been rummaged through roughly, and a dozen books lie scattered on the floor.

The vaguely humanoid figure of gears and metal is the room’s guardian, a clockwork golem, which bursted out of its hidden chamber to the north, killing one of the agents before being destroyed.

Kujo glances at the statues and then at the body to see who or what is and if its still alive.

Appraise: 1d20 ⇒ 5

K. Local: 10 = 10

Heal: 1d20 ⇒ 15
