Lililinda |
Lililinda follows the group, trying not to step in anything too nasty.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
GM Aumakua |
You vault over waterway with relative ease, Him. The walkway continues to head east here but also heads south. There is another set of wooden beams laid here that would allow you to cross over to the north side of this eastern channel.
On the opposite corner Merelda and her group pause along the walkway. Innis with her dark vision indicates that this passage ends in a storm water grate and like the previous passage this walkway connects and leads around to the eastern walkway across from you.

Him'Wazir nar Maekra |
"Got some corpses in the water here, two of those little blue blighters, and two cultists, probably," Him calls back to the group, "think it is worth fishing them out?"
You said 3 corpses and 2 of each?
GM Aumakua |
typo lets make it 2 of each so 4 corpses in all
UPDATED MAP (link changed)
Merelda "The Widow" Widdomeria |
OK, I updated the new map with our relative positions, since we are probably going to investigate the bodies.
Merelda ponders out loud.
I may be able to snag something semi-solid with my whip, but I would need help hauling that mass closer
for inspection...and I am NOT swimming in THAT! Would Boros be adept in the water Kirzon? He could look
the mass over for anything useful too.
Kirzon |
Kirzon responds to Merelda's suggestion. "Ach, Boros can swim alright, but this 'ere water ain't fer swimmin'" Kirzon wrinkles his nose at the thought. "If we canna get tha bodies without goin' in, we'd better jus' keep movin'"
"Ya make a good point, Nicias. Whatever killed them folks could still be 'round 'ere. Keep an eye out."
Even if he can't get the bodies safely, Kirzon wants to at least identify cause of death, since whatever killed those guys could be coming after the party next. Heal, Guidance, Inspiration, Innis: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 + 2 + (2) = 17
GM Aumakua |
Sure thing Kirzon you'll need to fish them out first. Merelda make an trip attack roll vs UMD 12
Merelda "The Widow" Widdomeria |
Liking the boy even more now, Merelda smiles as she puts her rapier and crossbow away and draws her whip.
"Nicias you are smarter than you look. Looks like I tend to underestimate others way too much.
That's a weakness on my part. Yes...we must be cautious. Him? Be ready to strike if something untoward happens."
CMA vs Dead Body #1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
GM Aumakua |
The whip breaks the surface of the water coiling around one of the fey creatures' neck. Merelda tugs on the whip to make sure she has it secured and begins to drag the body through the sewage towards the walkway.
Merelda strength check (DC12)
Him and Nicias look at the surface of the water prepared in case something jumps out
Him,Nicias and Kirzon Perception check
Merelda "The Widow" Widdomeria |
Strength Check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 +2 w/Innis boost = 7 total still.
Merelda smiles at the compliment.
"Sometimes skill is merely a lot of time spent doing what you like to do, but thank you Kirzon. I've never
known a dwarf to be so free with compliments as you are on non-dwarves. You really are a rarity Kirzon.
AGGHH! This one is stuck on something! I need more leverage..."
Kirzon |
"When ya been 'round long as I 'ave, ya get tired o' fightin' wit' elves all tha time. Anyway, ah've come ta 'ppreciate you tree-huggers more 'n I used ta. Now drow, ah trust 'em as far as ah can throw 'em."
As he sees Merelda having trouble with the corpse, Kirzon comes to lend aid. "'ere, lemme give that a go." He sees if he can be of any assistance, calling on the strength of the boar to help him. Strength Check, Guidance: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
GM Aumakua |
You'll have to cross over the wooden beams to do so Kirzon. Currently you are on the other walkway with Nicias and Boros. If so I will need to place you in front of Him as the walkway is only 5 ft wide.
Merelda "The Widow" Widdomeria |
Merelda will help pull the body up on the walkway to examine the body carefully to determine what killed it and extract her whip as well.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 +2 for Innis Bonus = 18 total
Heal: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 +2 for Innis Bonus = 20 total
GM Aumakua |
Merelda and Kirzon pull the body onto the walkway. Him, Kirzon and Merelda shuffle about to make room for Merelda as she moves closer to examine the body. Uncoiling your whip, Mereleda, you see vicious gashes on the derro's back.
Him'Wazir nar Maekra |
"Any idea what killed them then? I am more than a little surprised it has not proven to be a trap - yet," Him says, eyeing the bodies suspiciously.
Merelda "The Widow" Widdomeria |
"Some sort of sneak attack. Bad assassination attempt or a good working knowledge of humanoid anatomy
would be my guess. Heavy blade of some sort. Could we have a potential friend down here? Or a worse...a distraction
that could kill us?"
Merelda "The Widow" Widdomeria |
Unless Lililinda's perception check changes something, I went ahead and moved everyone back to our original
pattern and set us toward the next passage. Speak up GM or anyone else if you have a problem with it. Setting back up with hand crossbow and Rapier again as we move forward.
GM Aumakua |
nope move everyone back pls;) will post tonight out currently unavailablenrolled.
Merelda "The Widow" Widdomeria |
Ok! We are back where we were, or at least as best I can remember. Please adjust as necessary if corrections needed.
GM Aumakua |
Innis: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Kirzon: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Boros: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Nicias: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Merelda: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Lililinda: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8
DM1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Something is not right about this whole situation you all can feel it. Over the sound of the rushing water, a scream from the back of group causes you all to realize just how bad this situation is.
Only Innis and Lililinda can see what is going on based everyone's current location.

Him'Wazir nar Maekra |
Spinning Him races back leaping over Lilindra's head, twisting in midair, and kicking off the wall to land behind her assailant, where he waits for an armed comrade to offer a distraction from the other side, awaiting there attack before slashing out with Nipple Taker!
Specifically striking after someone else because if I kill it I get panache back, also got a low init. Using acrobatics to move through a foes square - I love derring do!
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 7 + (6) + (2) = 27 Derring do!
Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 2 = 26 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Lililinda |
Lililinda spins around and steps back. "NO! Stop! Please!" she shouts, holding up her hands, as if to ward off another blow. She looks so helpless and harmless!
5 foot step away, casting Charm Person (DC 15)
Merelda "The Widow" Widdomeria |
Merelda will start circling the swirling pool as fast as she can along the path, hooking her whip on her belt hook, and drawing her loaded hand crossbow as she moves.
"Move people! Give me a shot! What is it?"
Double move action while putting away and drawing a weapon. Once I can see what it is, I'll start making knowledge check to see if it helps any.
GM Aumakua |
Innis will need to move out of the way to give Lililinda space to move 5ft. As you're actions come in you should all take into account of what you and everyone else is doing
Nicias |
Pulling out a vial, Nicias quickly adds one of his bottles to an arrow which he looses at the unseen assailant, adds alchemists fire
Composite Longbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 typical
But the arrow falls harmlessly into the muck of the sewers with a brief hiss as the fire goes out.
GM Aumakua |
Lililinda: I would rule you can't because you are moving to the wooden beam that is only partially attached to the square adjacent to you. So it will actually take up 10 ft of movement.
Kirzon:Boros will be subject to an aoo by moving through the square to get there. Is this alright with you?
Boros the Snake |
Yes, AOO is fine. Hopefully saves Lili from the same.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Innis |
Current Buffs
Lili +2 AC 1 round
Lili Reroll your next D20 roll during round 2 take the most favorable result
Innis gives Lili a peck on the cheek for good luck as the gnome bumps into her. Innis then slowly move across the beam to get away from the commotion and concentrates on the little woman's defense with her divine powers.
GM Aumakua |
As Boros slithers through the creature strikes at the large constrictor and clips it's tail.
axe swing: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Boros takes 3 points of damage.
Taking advantage of the creature's shift in attention to Boros Lililinda retreats back to the wooden beam and calls forth her spell.
With a loud guttural roar the creature shakes off the spell's effect, but almost in tandem you watch as Boros strikes from one side and Nipple Taker strikes from the other side easily killing the creature.
Nicias as your arrow falls short of its mark and is claimed by the water. More guttural roars echo through the sewers.
A large axe strikes at you but misses Him. On the opposite walkway coming from the east you spot another of these stone gray humanoids lumbering quickly towards the battle.
charge: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
ROUND 2

Him'Wazir nar Maekra |
Him'Wazir slashes the new foe, though his trembling arms betray him and it has little power, and then steps back blade raised ready to parry an assault.
Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Parry: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 Parrys if creatures attack total is 12 or less.
Reposte: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Merelda "The Widow" Widdomeria |
Merelda will push her way past Nicias trying to get an angle with her bow, but the movement is just too much
and not enough for her to shoot anything. Hearing the fall of the creature, but also that more were coming,
Merelda begins shouting.
"Back up Him! Fall Back! Regroup!"
Double Move again but trying to give Liliinda room to move too. Still no clear shot now that the 1st one
is down.
Him'Wazir nar Maekra |
"But I want it to attack me, it is fine," Him calls back, winking at the monster as he speaks, "better to keep its pea sized brain focused upon me. Is that not right ugly?"
Merelda "The Widow" Widdomeria |
As soon as she has breath she coughs at Him, bloody mist spraying from her mouth as she overexerts herself.
"Damn you Him...haaackkk...no showboating! We need to work together whether...HAACCkkk...we want to or not!"
Him'Wazir nar Maekra |
"Ehhhhh?! I never agreed not to show my boat! I would not do such a thing, what am I without panache, but a well dressed alcoholic spider? There are two of them see, let the Boros share his!"
