...and for your sins... (Inactive)

Game Master Tin Foil Yamakah

"The little beast fares well against the monstrosity, for certain," Jeneva observes appreciatively, moving up to interpose herself between the more fragile of her allies but behind the summon. "Whatever force answers your call is certainly not short of efficient servants." Blade drawn, she plants her stance, ready to receive the assault of the gargoyle if it manages to breach past the starspawn.

Ready action to attack the gargoyle if it moves into the doorway. No sense bleeding myself if the chuul can handle him =) But also keeping it off my allies.

Round 2

Ravens chokes down the liquid from Skiron as his beast buys some time for him to heal..

He draws a wand from his 'sack, using it close one of the more onerous gashes on his chest.

2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 1) + 3 = 10 healing

HP: 8+9+10= 27/75

2 beasts battled but only one emerged...The gargoyle is dead and the Chuul is looking really bad 7hp

You all have 3 rds to do whatever you wish.

Round 3

Ravens takes some time to heal after the onslaught, happy to let the chuul take the beating. He grumbles as he heals himself.

"Piddlespotting came outta..."

2d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 = 6 healing

Round 4

"...barely uglier than Jen..."

2d8 + 3 ⇒ (7, 1) + 3 = 11 healing

Round 5

"...no chance...only one ball left..."

2d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 7) + 3 = 13 healing

HP: 27+6+11+13= 57/75

Skiron fishes out another of the little blue vials and administers it to Ravens.

cure light wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

After the gargoyle is dispatched Simon replaces his sword into the cane/sheath. He patiently waits for his companions to finish their healing, though he keeps a watchful eye out.

Simon/Ravens: Now that combat is finished, you will notice that the the gargoyle has a huge bronze collar studded with 10 blue stones, the size and shape of robins eggs.

Ravens, finally healed, takes a breath and looks around again. He shakes his head, trying to clear out the memories of what just happened to him.

That sucked. But we must continue on.

He walks over to kick the gargoyle in the head a few times, then looks down the hallway from which it emerged.

1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24 Perception

Ravens: See above as you too will see the bronze collar around the beasts neck. You also notice as you pass by the beast that the hallway opens in to a room (20'w X 30'L)

Detect magic on the collar and generally examine it closely. If it seems safe I'll remove the collar to inspect it further.

Percep 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37

Simon: As you cast Detect magic, your eyes are assaulted by a riot of color. Kind of like if someone pointed a 1000 watt halogen light in your face I should clarify this, The collar itself is not radiating magic that strong it is the Tomb itself.

Upon searching the collar, you find a secret compartment within the collar. The compartment contains a small roll of parchment Linguistics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22...success!

I have put the contents in a spoiler in the campaign info section

Simon rubs his eyes then withdraws and reads the paper.

"It says the hallway at the end is the way to go." He says as he hands off the paper to whomever wants it.

Ravens takes the note, reading it as he moves forward into the room. He offers to hand it off, but if no one takes it from is hands, he drops it on the ground. See!? He's totally evil! He litters! Thanks Obama!

Ravens moves into the room and looks around for whatever.

1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23 Perception

"By the way, Skiron, thanks for the healing. I woulda killed that thing if he hadn't surprised me."

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Bluff

Sense Motive: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (16) - 2 = 14

"Pardon? Oh yes, by all means, and be certain to tell me if the flesh around any of your asclepians* begins to generate mushrooms, not that that's likely to happen, but do tell me if it does."

His ragged starspawn trailing doggedly beside him, Skiron is presently more interested in taking in this new room.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

* = An "asclepian brand" is the name given to the distinctive temporary marks left by wounds that were healed by means of magic or alchemy. I figure a term like this is one of those things that would naturally pop up and be coined in a universe with magic.

Ravens: This is a 20'W X 30'L room with 2 doors in the south and southeast, other than that it is empty.

Ta'ruk wtakes the note from Ravens and glances at it. He rolls it up and tucks it in his bag. "It may help in some way in the future. I have a feeling all resources will be tight down here. You never know when you may need some parchment. Skiron send your creature ahead to trigger the traps."

Ta'ruk wtakes the note from Ravens and glances at it. He rolls it up and tucks it in his bag. "It may help in some way in the future. I have a feeling all resources will be tight down here. You never know when you may need some parchment. Skiron send your creature ahead to trigger the traps."

"Please." Simon adds In a mildly corrective tone as he leans slightly on his cane wearing his immaculate suit.

"Oh, it's all quite dull in here, I assure you," Skiron says as he accompanies the chuul into the room. He stops in dead-center, however, while it checks the southeastern door.

I probe the room with detect secret doors.

Skiron. The chuul opens the unlocked door, revealing a simple 10 x 10 chamber with blank walls.

You detect no secret doors

Simon performs a thorough search going square by square. Making sure to check the floor first and not forgetting the ceiling.

Perception checks as needed.

1d20 + 23 ⇒ (6) + 23 = 29
1d20 + 23 ⇒ (17) + 23 = 40
1d20 + 23 ⇒ (15) + 23 = 38
1d20 + 23 ⇒ (9) + 23 = 32
1d20 + 23 ⇒ (3) + 23 = 26
1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37
1d20 + 23 ⇒ (12) + 23 = 35

Simon. Nothing escapes your keen perception, however, the room is devoid of anything of use.

"Nothing? There is nothing here? All that work for...nothing?" Ravens looks around to confirm what he sees.

"Maybe we missed something on the way back."

Ravens returns to the boulder hallway to retrace his steps.

1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24 Perception

"Time to check the south door. I'd rather see an empty room then another good for nothing trap." says Ta'ruk. He stands ready for anything to pop out when the chuul tries the other door.

As the chuul goes to check the other door, Skiron peers into the southeastern room.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Ravens. Boulder hallway? Does that mean the first fakeentrance you all excavated?

Skiron. You see an empty empty room devoid of furnishing.

I have revealed the room that the Chuul opened the door to. It is a 10 x 10 bare room with a wooden door on the south wall,

Nevermind, Ravens was confuzzled. Thanks Obama!

Ravens watches as the doors are opened, waiting for the next gargoyle thing to attack.

Remember that time I did something and paid for it?

Jeneva nods agreement to Ta'ruk, then turns her attention southward. "If this passage fails, I agree a backtrack is most appropriate." While the men and the summon explore and excavate, she keeps an eye out on the passage back the way they came, hand on her sword hilt and ready for an ambush.

Skiron shrugs and goes to peek into the room just opened as the chuul goes in to open the next door.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Skiron: As the Chuul enters the room, it is hit by a bolt of force Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Would you like the Chuul to open the door or back out?

The chuul, probably eager to die at this point, continues its relentless stagger toward the door.

Skiron takes a few paces back and readies his bow in case the missile came from the other side of the door.

I ready an action to attack with my bow.

Simon steps up and searches the room as best he can without crossing the doorway. Paying special attention to where the missile came from.

Percep 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (17) + 23 = 40

"I'll go in this time." says Ta'ruk. He casts shield on himself and slips past Simon into the room and looks around. He keeps his hammer ready for any nasties that may enter the door when the chuul opens it. perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Ravens snickers as another is treated with the same 'respect' that he was treated with for opening a door.

I still think taking months to dig this place out would be a better solution.

Skiron. The chuul opens the south door revealing a 10 x 10 room devoid of any decor save the wooden door on the eastern wall. MM: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 another missile strikes the chuul. He is barely hanging on.

Simon. There is nothing in this room save a wooden door on the southern wall

Ta ruk a missile strikes you seemingly emanating from the western wall doing no damage...Boo

Ravens. Why do I get the feeling you would have preferred opening this door as opposed to the one you opened?

Attempt to use mage hand to jiggle the handle and if possible open the wooden door from a distance.

Attempt to use mage hand to jiggle the handle and if possible open the wooden door from a distance.

Simon. If you are referring to the door on the southern wall, it is open. If you are referring to the door on the eastern wall. Dont you need line of sight for mage hand to work?

Confident that all dangers are past, Ravens strides forward to open the next door (should the mage hand not work).

"We're not getting anyplace moving this slowly," Ravens announces.

Ravens. MM: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8 1 bolt of force hits you as you enter each room.

I will reveal what is behind the door

Why look another 10 x 10 room with a wooden door on the north wall

"That is going to become tiresome," Jeneva snarls. She glares into the revealed corridor of rooms, searching for the point of origin for the magical blasts. If she can find the source of the trap, perhaps she can put an end to its assaults.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Jeneva. Are you going into the room or are you standing outside next to Simon?

You cannot see where the missiles are emanating from,

Standing outside. She's already seen that stepping through the room gets you missile'd. She was hoping to see a source without closer examination.

Jeneva. Ok then i have moved you next to Simon outside of the first room. Magic missiles are invisible so you cannot tell where they are coming from,

Ravens walks to the next door and opens it, shrugging off the earlier missile as a total outlier that will not, ever happen again.

"I'm not sure why devils would be afraid of this place...it's annoying and stupid, but not deadly at all."

Ravens. You see a 10 x 10 room devoid of furnishings or a door save the one you just opened.

Ta'ruk joins Ravens in the last room."I see the logic in this place. Slowly drain our sanity with a thousand annoyances until we can't stand it anymore and end our own lives. "

Ta'ruk: You are hit by a missile as you enter each room, which does no damage.

i have moved your token right behind Ravens

Skiron has been observing the others in a bit of a daze, torn between present events and the riddles they've encountered.

"Any chance any of you own an enchanted ring? I don't."

Ravens looks around in the room for something he might have missed.

1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26 Perception

"Any of you see anything I'm missing? Man, this is a silly place."

"It seems to be designed by a paranoid lunatic. "
