The Lost City (4e Paragon)

Game Master Rev Rosey

Market group

Now that Kevaras has pointed it out, Andaros too is aware of the noise. So too are the guarding oklu, who start to look concerned.

The drow sits up to gauge the direction the sound is coming from.

He appeals to the oklu, "Your people need assistance. I know your task is to ensure our protection, but don't you think the safety of the city is paramount? We can help you, and the best thing is that you don't have to take your eyes off us."

Diplomacy 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

Market Group

Behind Kevaras' back, Don gives him an appalled stare, as he volunteers. With a shrug, the bandit stands from his relaxed, feet up, lounging, then hitches his belt.

Bug group

Unless you tell me otherwise, I'm assuming extended rest.

Market group

The oklu look at each other and come to a quick decision.

"Come."

Bug group

Rested and ready, the hunters carry the group carefully to the Queen's tower. As you approach, you see movement within the dimly lit edifice as you fight to hold of the nausea of the flight.

Endurance checks please - DC19. If unsuccessful, lose a healing surge.

Landing respectfully at floor level, the hunters buzz a greeting in Trignotarb, push you into the chamber and depart. Two sand giants in the late stages of larval infestation regard you blankly, while from above you can hear a voice, not unlike Xurtix's making what may be an speech of acceptance of the gift. Another voice answers her.

Place yourselves on the map. You have a surprise round. One action each.

Don pulls his knives, muttering, "Don't be getting us killed, Platemail."

Cronin grins and follows.

"That's the spirit! Onward… to death or glory!" declares the paladin, jubilantly.

I'll take O3.

Nayce moves quickly, sending a sneaky spell at one of the giants.

Eyebite on G1. 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 vs Will. 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17 psychic damage and I am invisible to him to SOMNT. He has 2 shrouds on him (Velvet Blade Trick feat).

Don looks towards Cronin, pausing a moment behind Kevaras. "You know he does this just to annoy me..."

With a chuckle, Don trails after Platemail, knives out and ready for blood. "Hurry up, big guy, or you'll miss all the fun!"

Bug group

Guldarin and Greeg still to position themselves. Dram, I put you in the blue square you couldn't see.

Nayce acts fast, but finds the giants surprisingly strong willed.

Heading cheerfully towards the commotion, one of your guards introduces himself. "I am Kagash. We go to face the Skittering Death."

From the walls, comes a cry. "Aedre and her children approach!"

Arriving at the walls, it is all too clear who and what Aedre is. A huge spider drags herself over the ground, acid dripping from her fangs and swarms of smaller spiders preceding her.

I should have added +2 because the giant is surprised. Does that make it a hit?

Market Group

This is full turn, not a surprise round, right? If not, I will just do the first part.

Don rushes forward into the scene, then quickly backpedals, shaking his head 'no'. He actually almost drops to all fours to quickly pull back away from the swarms. Upon seeing the rest of the excursion force show up, he hesitantly turns back around. "Alright, alright, Let's start this show."

Start in Q8.

Deft Strike vs S3.

1d20 + 23 ⇒ (7) + 23 = 30 for 1d4 + 16 + 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 16 + (5, 2, 7) + 3 = 36

Using his fast hands, he tosses his knife at the swarm, then retrieves a potion from his belt. "Hey Plate, you might want this."

Are we still in the same day as the last fight? I'm not sure how area spells interact with swarms, nor how many attack rolls they make

Start in R8.

As the threat makes itself known, Andaros draws out the Dawnblade and with it it's sunlike glow. "There's more than one cure for a swarm, but this is a way to start." Flames wrap themselves around the blade than disappear momentarily as they appear in the midst of the nearest swarm.

Scorching Burst
Attack vs. Reflext 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
Damage Fire 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Greeg will be at o5. Standard move towards g2.

Bug group

@Nayce. That hits.

The aftermath of Nayce's attack suddenly kicks in, dropping one giant before he can act. Greeg advances on the second giant with menace in his eyes.

Don lunges forward spearing a few spiders as he does so.

Guldarin in P3, please. I want to ask, is there an environmental hazard of any sort which we might have been warned about. Guldarin would have cast his Endure Elements ritual is it would be appropriate.

No environmental hazards. If you have anything that would provide protection against acid dripping spiders, then you could have cast that.

I've put Guldarin at Q10 in the blue starting area, but let me know if you want to be somewhere different.

Wait. Am I looking at the right map, this one? Because Q10 on this one is the market group.

Urk. I'm sorry. I mixed you up. You are with the bug people. Dur. Will sort it out.

EDIT - and sorted. Any surprise round action?

Bug Group
You have my sympathy. Multiple games, with some of the same people, and now we're splitting up in separate groups but keeping the threads. I'd never keep track of it.
Guldarin will wait till some of the swarms get closer, and in his position can't even see the giant.

"What giant?" Guldarin peers round the pillar he was inspecting for bugmanship. "Oh, that fellow. Well, it looks like Greeg has got him sorted out. I'll wait and see what the spiders do before I worry about giants."

@Guldarin. No spiders where you are, just Trignotarbs and sand giants. A sand giant.

Sorry, traveling. Q9.

Whoops, I overlooked this, Q10 please.

"You know he does this just to annoy me..."

Kevaras' eyes widen with realisation, "Oh my (Raven) Queen! My Alythiira says the same thing! Though with more sarcasm and exasperation."

He smiles, imagining his wife hurriedly ferrying lambs, two at a time to the storm cellar, to protect them from the encroaching giant spiders and sand giants.

"Oh, you shouldn't have," says the plate-clad drow as he accepts Don's potion, hoping it isn't spider pheromone.

Sorry gang, Flickr is playing silly buggers and won't let me update. Will deal with all this as soon as I can.

Are these spider swarms large size or 2x3? I'm thinking Large but the markers for them are just slightly off just to mess with us. ;)

Cronin shouts to Kevaras to stand strong and to Don to get a move on, already. Meanwhile he focuses Kord's wrath on Aedre. She easily dodges the worst of it, but her fangs become somewhat more brittle.

@Cronin - the oklu are hovering just off the map. There are other swarms incoming from other areas.

Rev

Rev, I'm not sure what's happening in ours. The giant seems to have disappeared. I'm guessing pink spots are grubs. Also, what is the thing marked by the S on the map? Sorry for my confusion, but if you can clear that up for me I'll have a better idea of what action to take. Cheers

@Greeg. The giants are both dead and the pink spots are indeed grubs. Sorry for any confusion :) I forgot to narrate Nayce's hit on the giant in the kerfuffle over placing what felt like 101 pink dots on the map.

The oklu Kagash moves swiftly to Cronin's side.

"You stand beside us to fight the Skittering Death. To fight with us, you must understand that we were born to serve. As you have sensed, the oklu seek the command of oma. You will lead us to great victory."

Pull down his helmet, he issues commands to the other oklu but remains at Cronin's side.

"Set fire to the swarms from a distance!"

Concerted movement follows and you see that the oklu are organised, competent and well able to deal with the unseen swarms.

Cronin works fast to encourage his allies old and new, granting a swift blessing to Kevaras and urging Don on to particularly vicious action. Aedre hisses horribly as she feels her power weakening and then again as Don, needing little encouragement, hurtles into the nearest swarm and swings a wild dagger through her children.

@Cronin - need a save v immob and a save v -2AC penalty
@Don - note that awesome as that attack was, it only does half damage to a swarm.

Aedre raises dripping fangs and attempts to poison the drow paladin once and for all. In her rage, she misses completely.

I gotta invest in some alchemist's fire or something. I remembered the half damage issue though XD.

IF he wasn't immobolised, Andaros would try to include Kevaras in the effect, but as it is he's going to Fey Step to N5. Assuming that this corrects his immobolised condition, he will then unleash a Scorching Burst on S3. which you use Tuesday's post.

"You know, that's really rather disgusting. Isn't that sort of infanticide, or something. Or is that what we're doing, when we kill them. Perhaps there's some sort of concept of the strong surviving being thrown aroud the room, which I suppose would be true in a way, perhaps some sort of experiment... no, that wouldn't go down well." His ruminations complete, Guldarin blasts and area of floor to clear it of larvae and steps into it, stamping his feet as he goes.

Grasping Shards, area burst 1 in N4; 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19 vs Fort, 6 damage and target is slowed. Unless it requires an attack against each square?
Move to N4

@Guldarin - I'm afraid so.

@Andaros - yes, you can fey step clear. You'll still be immobilised until you make the save though.

9 hours of rehearsals coming up so I will update properly when I get back. Sorry for all the delays, but it's a heroically busy few days for me.

Save vs immobolise

1d20 ⇒ 16

Greeg remembered why he hated bugs so much when the spawn of the queen landed around him. The writhing larvae snapped hungrily at the Goliath, trying to eat into his skin and infest his skin. It made his skin crawl to think about, and he focused that fear into a ball of anger. Looking up at the where the queen had disapeared , he determined to reach her as rapidly sa possible to prevent her from raining death upon them at will. He leapt out of the area of spawn, and then began to climb the nearest vine.

"I'm going for the Queen. If I can bring her down to us, I will!" he shouted over his shoulder as he did so.

Jumping out of the area of bug spawn (if allowable) 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36. If he can't jump out (trying to avoid AoO's really), then he'll just move out and take the AoO's.

Will sheath weapon and shield and then start climbing (if my actions allow it). Athletics 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32, Second roll for Racial Trait 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22. Take best roll. Hope that's detailed enough Rev, typing this on iPad while at the brakfast table with the kids. Always an exercise in multitasking :)

Guldarin's discourse is accompanied by an invocation that starts to clear the area of larvae.

Greeg in the meanwhile leaps clear of the menace and starts climbing the wall. He finds easy handholds, but even so his progress is slow.

@Greeg - that's all absolutely fine. You jumped clear, used the remainder of your move to get to the wall and are now climbing at half speed.
