The poor guy seems uncommonly worried about his patient.
The basement is fully finished. There are multiple doors, each one with a thick glass window. He leads you past several. The door he stops in front has a light on the other side, illuminating a padded cell. Peering through the window reveals a man, in a strait-jacket, on the other side. He is lying on the floor, sweat rolling from his grey colored skin. He seems to be talking, but you cannot hear the sound through the thick door.

The door is locked but after some hesitation, Grayst decides to unlock it for Geraint.
"I'm going to lock it again," he says as Geraint steps in, "unless the rest of you want to go in with him. He is bound, but you never know, he might try to bite you and that would not be good."
As Geraint steps in and speaks, the man stops writhing for a moment and looks at Geraint glassily, drool dribbling from his mouth.

The door is locked but after some hesitation, Grayst decides to unlock it for Gyorgy.
"I'm going to lock it again," he says as Gyorgy steps in, "unless the rest of you want to go in with him. He is bound, but you never know, he might try to bite you and that would not be good."
As Gyorgy steps in and speaks, the man stops writhing for a moment and looks at Gyorgy glassily, drool dribbling from his mouth.
I kneel down, across the room from the man, attempting to seem non-threatening: "You look weak, perhaps I can use my magic to heal you?"

Gyorgy's lays healing hands upon the still body of the man. The effect is not quite what is expected. The dead man's eyes open, glossy black, his skin burns under Gyorgy's touch. Opening his mouth, he howls inhumanly, his tongue writhing and stretching. There is a popping sound from the straight jacket he is wearing and Gyorgy suddenly realizes the fabric is tearing. The man, his skin swiftly turning gray, lifts one claw from the torn jacket and reaching up to his throat, begins tearing off the confining fabric.
Initiative?
DM Wicht |
Knowledge (nature)1d20+8
Can I work out anything about the man?
Not with Knowledge (nature) :)
Gerhardt knows the man looked really dead and can also recognize his body is swiftly changing (His teeth seem to be a mass of needles) in a very unnatural way.
Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
"Fascinating," says the proprietor from just behind Mitnal.
If you beat the 5 initiative, go ahead and post an action.
Gyorgy Elberion |
"What have they done to you?"
Shocked and afraid, I send more Heavenly Fire lancing toward the man, or what has become of him.
to hit (1d20+5=18)
damage (1d4+2=3)
Kenzo |
Initiative 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Reading back, Kenzo is in the cell with Gyorgy.
A moment before fire lashes out from Gyorgy's hand, Kenzo slams a palm heel strike into the morphing monstrosity's chest.
stunning fist (Fort DC 14)
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
DM Wicht |
The fist and then the heavenly fire slam into the man, but he scarcely seems to notice, so caught up is he in his transformation....
"I can see the skinsaw man!" he cries in a voice that sounds like rocks rolling over each other. And then he bites out at Kenzo...
Bite 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
and lashes out with his claws...
claw 1 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
claw 2 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
The bite does not connect but the claws take the monk by surprise and Kenzo takes 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 = 14 points of damage.
Kenzo needs to make three Fortitude saves (label them 1, 2, and 3 if you would).
Your turn.
Gerhardt Eilif |
"I think that's my cue," Gerhardt mutters. He rushes in, swinging his falchion at the 'man'.
Attack (Power Attacking): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (2, 4) + 7 = 13
It occurs to me that Gerhardt is actually a bit of a munchkin. Maybe I should take an unfavorable class next level.

Mr. Habe has the good sense to look embarassed.
"The patient was suffering from ghoul fever and a psychological fixation. He was angry at someone named Eugen, kept making threats at this person, claiming he was stealing the master's affection. And then at other times he mumbled on about the skinsaw man, you know, the old child's nursery rhyme. I meant to take him to the temple for healing, but, I guess I was too late..."
Gyorgy Elberion |
"Hold still, Kenzo."
I use my divine fire to close some of his wounds.
divine fire to heal Kenzo (1d4+2=5)
Can anyone remember this nursery rhyme?
