Thornkeep - The Forgotten Laboratory (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Not again! I need to have a Bless card face up on my computer.

While Tuca waits to get a better chance to aim Kyra and Xoricon take out two ore goblins.

The goblin with three arms attacks Ashara with all three of them but messes entirely.
green vs. Ashara: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
green vs. Ashara: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
green vs. Ashara: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

The goblin with pink scales approaches Henrik and lashes out.
pink vs. Henrik: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Round 3

Goblin green (Third arm)

Waiting to see what other folks do, but will probably either flank green or charge pink depending on how the map looks.

I will post las, waiting forma the others to move and to aim correctly.

sorry I forgot to move my counter before. But I tumbled into flank. attack the green one

Sarvin stabs with his rapier.

attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

damage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Emboldened by Sarvin's presence Ashara turns on the offensive against the goblin!

Attack roll: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 1 + 2 = 13
Damage roll: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Xoricon aims his spear at the goblin threatening Henrik.

Spear + Bless, Inspire Courage, Arcane Strike, Flank: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
for: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

+1 scimitar (vs green): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Sarving, Xoricon and Kyra take out the remaining goblins.

combat over

Perception check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Ashara notices nothing and asks:"Is anyone wounded? I can heal you if needed"

Perc: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

"Hmm," says Xoricon, reaching down, and pulls a pouch off of one of the goblin corpses. go ahead and read the spoiler.

"A ring, still on the wearer's finger. Well, these goblins were practical, I suppose."

As she sulks, she says:"Sorry for not been useful during combat... I hate one man corridors..."
After saying that she inspects every corner of the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Lucia and Sarving inspect the room, but do not find anything of value apart from the belt pouch Xoricon already found.

where next?

the passageway off to the East? off this room

Agreed, to the East.

Everyone healthy? Kyra Healbot in the Darkness has a fully loaded cure light wounds stick who's activation phrase is: "Hell Yah!"

CLW (self): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"Let's go. I think someone or something run away in that direction when the fight started..." says Ashara pointing east.

She gets her sword and puts her bow in it´s place.
"Ready..."

You follow the tunnel the homunculus tried to escape through. The tunnel leads down a few steps and into another room.

This grand chamber appears to be some sort of observation laboratory. The northern section is raised, and contains rotten benches for watching the experiments below. The southern half of the chamber is dominated by a dais on which is set a heavily stained table. It appears that something has dug through the walls of this room, creating two tunnels out of the chamber. Staircases to the northwest and northeast (you came from here) lead out of the viewing area, and wooden doors flank the southwest and southeast sides of the dais. Large stone doors stand south of the dais.

This room is guarded by a twisted and warped goblin with a trio of crystal vials protruding from the top of his head and three dire rats. The goblin looks remarkably tough and strong.

I gather no one has any idea about how to proceed?

Kill everything in sight?

what happens next depends on how you enter the room ;)

Did anyone think to bring cookies?

With another character I'd be inside there already, but Ashara isn't exactly meant for hand to hand combat...

The creatures in this room are moving around, a rat comes really close to you. It thinks that something is amiss and after following the smell of intruders it attacks.

Delays until she can actually see something. In her mind, she is constructing the new marching order she plans to enforce--by scimitar if necessary.

"Back away! Lure them where there's space for fighting!" yells Ashara at the others

Hearing Ashara's words Tuca and Henrik move to the previous room with the cells. Before moving away Tuca tries to hit the rat in front of her with her shortsword and kills it with one blow.
Attack vs. red: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Cestus + Arcane Strike: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
for: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

And totally misses.

"We have a problem!" he shouts.

"Then get ten feet behind me!"

She gets ready and wait for ther companions to retreat to this room.

Xoricon suddenly remembers he has a move action! "As you wish, Lady Kyra..." he says, ducking back.

Kyra still holds her place while Xoricon moves behind her after attacking the goblin who just appeared in front of him. Snarltongue tries to reach Xoricon when he ducks back.

Ashara concentrates briefly sending a wave of divine energy towards Xoricon and all of her allies but not the mishappen goblin brute.

channel energy: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Xoricon yelps as Snarltongue attacks, but feels better when Ashani directs her channel. "I was afraid that would happen..." he mutters. "My thanks, good lady."

Ashara heals up her allies while the rat with green feet slips past the goblin monster and tries to bite Sarvin, but the teeth grab only air.

After Sarvin moves, Kyra readies to slash the first opponent to come in range.

Sarvin attacks the rat in front of him, but the attack misses. He stumbles back, behind Kyra who readies an attack to strike at the first creature which comes into range.

Another rat rushes into the tunnel and towards Kyra who attacks the rat and knocks it out.

As much as I would like to damage the goblin, I spent my readied action last round on the rat.

Ashara moves back into the room making space for the others to get in.

"This is quite heroic," quips the bard, watching the Pathfinders back up into a tight mass. He begins to recite an old Ulfen saga. "When the linnorms lined each mountain peak, and the kings of yore grew old and weak, then fire licked across the land, 'til these mighty heroes took a stand..." He continues to recount the tale of the mighty Ulfen warriors, inspiring the group to new greatness.

Inspire Courage and hold onto your hats!

Ashara moves back into the room while Xoricon continues to tell the tale of the mighty Ulfen warriors. The rat with the green tail moves closer, but can't get past the goblin.
