The party watches as Gezzo moves farther into the room of Darkness. He maneuvers Lryhla around until he is facing the open doorway, unsheathes his weapon, and waits...
Imowen Aroudilee |
After watching Flug with the doors, I follow Gezzo and Lryhla to the Dark Room and watch Gezzo's actions there. I am excited to see the white crystal rod on the floor! Going into Fast Stealth mode I sneak into the room and go directly to the white crystal rod on the floor and securely grasp it in my left hand! And being a Rogue, I can't resist looting the corpses while I am there. Then using my Escape Artist skill I rapidly retreat back out the door.
Fast Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Perception (for looting the corpses): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Escape Artist: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Story Master |
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Imowen sneaks into the room of Darkness, and immediately disappears into the cover of darkness. She is not noticed by Gezzo, and she makes her way toward the device in the middle of the room. She manages to locate and pick up the white crystal rod, and then she starts rummaging among the corpses looking for loot!
When she touches one of the bodies, the hideously malformed, hairless, pustule-covered corpse moves and snarls more like an undead hound than an undead man! It leaps up and attacks her, biting and clawing!
Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Claws: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 and 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
It latches onto her arm and takes a bite out of it 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6, inflicting 6 points of damage!
Everyone roll for Initiative. The map is updated.
Gezzo Wrathforge |
Since I only made a move action, I'm assuming I still have a standard action available.
"Hey! Guys! We really need to protect this thing! You guys watch the door and I'll make sure no one gets closer."
Diplomacy to Make A Request: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Imowen Aroudilee |
"Shoulda left the loot!" I say to myself after being attacked by that horrible creature. "Gotta get out of here . . ."
And keeping a firm grip on the white crystal rod in my left hand, I grab my undead Bane Light Mace in my right hand ready to fend off further attacks from the creature.
Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Story Master |
Gezzo Initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Rufina Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Celif Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Thorgrim Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Creature's Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Bless is still in effect (+1 to attack, +1 saves against fear).
Divine Favor has expired.
Initiative Order:
Group 1: Gezzo, Imowen
Group 2: Creatures
Group 3: Rufina, Flug, Thorgrim, Celif, Nastrod
Group 1: Gezzo and Imowen...
Imowen Aroudilee |
I take my undead Bane Light Mace at my side and bring it forcefully up under the creature's chin and rake it on up across his face while pushing hard on it, hopefully knocking him off balance. Then I dash for the door and back out into the Earth room, still clutching the white crystal rod in my left hand!
Melee Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Damage: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 5, 2) + 3 = 14
Gezzo Wrathforge |
"Protect the device at all costs!" Gezzo screams.
Readies an attack at the first thing that touches the device or him and Lryhla.
Attack (if triggered): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Lryhla's Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Trip: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 = 16
Story Master |
Imowen lashes out at the creature with her mace, and smashes it in the head, causing it to howl in pain! She then runs out of the room of Darkness and into the room of Earth.
Gezzo stands his ground, guarding the device, weapon at the ready...
Group 2: Creatures
A pulse of energy wafts through the room... 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5 and the creature hit by Imowen seems to have its wounds start healing...
The two fetid, pustule-covered creatures move adjacent to Gezzo and turn to face the door to the Earth room, snarling and gnashing their teeth in anticipation...
The map is updated.
Group 3: Rufina, Flug, Thorgrim, Celif, Nastrod
Flug Managarm |
Cast Sanctuary on myself (5 rounds, DC 16 Will negates) and move to the square southwest of the device. I'll only trigger #1's attack on the way there.
"What plea, so tainted," Flug says, observing Gezzo's fanatical protection of the device and the creatures standing next to Gezzo. He raises a hand and brings it to the left side of his chest, over his heart.
"We will to sanctuary." An inner black light begins emanating from his skin, spreading outwards to mix with the shadow that covers him.
He steps into the room, almost melding with the darkness inside, and walks around the group, turning towards the device. He peers at it, wondering if he can remove some of the inserted crystals.
Story Master |
Nastrod readies an attack...
If you stay in the Earth room, you will have nothing to attack.
Flug casts a spell upon himself and walks around to the southwest corner of the strange device in the center of the room.
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
The strange creature #1 acts to attack Flug, but then suddenly quits the act...
Rufina and Thorgrim share a glance at each other, nod their heads, ready their weapons, and then they both charge into the room of Darkness and attack Creature #1!
1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4) + 1 = 7
1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 1) + 10 = 17
What awful rolls!
They bump into each other going through the doorway, throwing off their timing and causing each to miss!
Nastrod - want to perform an action and/or movement before the end of the round?
Gezzo Wrathforge |
"Hey! They didn't seem like they were so bad! I know, probably undead or something...but, they're protecting the device. That's all that's important." Gezzo pleads with the group.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Maintains his readied action.
Cеlif |
Celif frowns. "Gezzo, what is wrong with you!" she snarks while cautiously moving into the room and stepping to one side of the doorway. I can't see any coordinates on the map... she's "northeast" of Thorgrim, or exactly on the dark side of the wall from the opened door.
It's difficult to see, but she can just barely make out things that look suspiciously undead. She therefore calls on the glory of Septimus, sweeping her palms out and up as she chants.
Channel Energy (harm undead intent): 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) = 7
Story Master |
Gezzo maintains his stance in front of the strange device in the center of the room, and pleads with his comrades for some constraint...
Everyone needs to make a skill check of d20 + your CHA modifier.
Celif channels positive energy, and the pulse strikes the fetid creature, causing it to howl in pain!
Story Master |
Imowen moves into the room of Darkness and smashes creature #2 with her magic mace! She smashes its head to a pulp, killing it!
Group 2: Creatures
2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4
A pulse of energy is emitted throughout the room, and you all incur four points of damage!
Imowen gets a strange look upon her face...
The map is updated.
Group 3: Rufina, Flug, Thorgrim, Celif, Nastrod
Flug Managarm |
Ouch.
Flug moves behind the device and begins running his hands over it and the orb, particularly the black circles where the rods may be.
5-foot step to south of the device and I'll try to fiddle with it to get out what rods are presumably inserted in it.
Cеlif |
Celif scowls. "No," she admonishes firmly as she sweeps her palms up and out again.
Channel Energy (harm undead intent): 3d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1) = 10
Story Master |
Flug starts feeling around the machine to determine how to remove the black crystals...
Imowen stares at Flug and waives her mace in his direction. Don't touch that device, or you will suffer my wrath!
Celif channels to harm the undead. A pulse of positive energy emanates throughout the room. The two dead fetid creatures don't move, but she feels the energy strike an unseen source...
1d20 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 6 = 12
Nastrod, both the the creatures that you could see are dead. Do you want to take a different action?
Flug Managarm |
Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 Another +2 if against enchantment
I'm also still under the effect of Sanctuary (4 rounds left).
Story Master |
Flug feels an energy try to enter his brain and tamper with his mind...but he vigorously shakes his head and dispels the effect!
Imowen appears to be unfriendly, her eyes narrowing and gazing intently around the room. Don't get any funny ideas, Nastrod. I don't think you are a present danger, but your words and actions might change my mind...
Story Master |
Rufina and Thorgrim watch the play of words between the party members, and look at each other in a confused manner. They take no actions this round.
Round 3
Group 1: Gezzo and Imowen...
Imowen moves adjacent to Flug and waves her mace in his face. Get your hands off of the device and back away from it! She adopts an attack pose...
Cеlif |
Celif frowns in confusion. "Careful! There's someone or something in here with us!"
Gezzo Wrathforge |
Move away, Flug! Just step back and watch for anyone approaching!
Gezzo yells as he directs Lryhla in between the machine and Flug. He pushes Flug away as they attempt to maneuver.
Attempting to push Flug back and take his space next to the machine. Using Bull Rush to push him away, since I'm not sure what else would apply.
Bull Rush: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
pfft...fail, lol.
