And Then a Skeleton Popped Out: subSPUF Carrion Crown

Game Master Rynjin

Wait, can I charge it down the chute? Is it like difficult terrain?

Why does it matter, you have dragon style?

If it's a drop, I can't. If it's difficult terrain, I can.

In the event that I can just charge it, change my action to swift flex into lunge and then charge punch.

You can charge it.. something might happen though also that would be next round obviously. because you already went. Lunge wouldnt help

Aight then.

Also Sledge, you never said if you approached Z earlier.

-Posted with Wayfinder

You can charge it downhill like that, yeah.

Darius Claws, then Bites, ripping the webbing.

Once free, he whips the creature across the face, burning black fire onto her.

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

What Curse effect?

It's 50%

I have to decide when I put it in the whip.

Actually you don't. Variable effects only come into play when the spell is cast, which it isn't until the whip delivers it.

It down like ... 20 feet and likely has reach.

Man don't do this to me, that was like my only crit for this whole campaign ;_;

What Jones actually does after Studying the Weaverworm (because why not, it might decide to come up and give me a hug or something), is draw his shortbow and shoot at it.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
1d6 ⇒ 4

Jones bows it.

Back up to Zin.

Z turns to Jones, "Hey Jones, help me out here. At which point when whatever insane God was creating this thing, did they decide a rocking rack was a requirement?"

"I'm not saying I feel threatened, I'm just saying the competition is a little fiercer than it probably has any right to be."

Jones winces.

"Not that I'm not morbidly curious about this line of thought, but can't it wait?"

I'm not against that ruling Rynjin since it favors us, but I believe the wording on the spell is I have to choose at the time of casting. So unless Darius was considered the caster, I have to pick beforehand. But if you rather it work like you said, I'm all for it.

Z shrugs at Jones, "Hey Darius after you get done giving her another whipping, mind moving back just a bit, pretty sure you're in my blast radius."

Delay until Darius goes in the hopes the pain of her Curse keeps the monster stationary.

Sledge will ignore Zin's request to come over, by the way, instead focusing on drinking his potion and getting in position for the charge.

The ability actually says the weapon (which I have interpreted as the wielder, since objects don't get actions) casts the spell, so we'll go with that. =)

aaah btu ryn jin is creecher not alos objetc?

*Rocks fall*

Sledge Dies*

I guess that makes it the.. Weaver's possible turn?

Darius growls " Just set it deeper in, I MIGHT not get a choice here, these abominations like live prey that cant move. And as far as it's chest is concerned.. I've seen better. More is not always better and it doesnt make up for it's hideous eating habits. "

Missed that Zin said she Delayed.

High is Good: 1d100 ⇒ 67

The Weaver moves up the slope a bit, seeing as her webs won't work.

It swings a claw at Darius from 15 feet out.

"Come here so I can EAT YOU!"

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

But in her haste, misses the monster hunter.

Darius gives a devilish grin " Quite ready to have a piece of me aren't you. You need to curb your appetite I'm in high demand and don't just let anyone have a taste. The light caress of Grimoire will have to satisfy you for now! "

His Whip glows a white light as the symbol of Sarenrae emblazons upon it's tip. He cackles as he snakes the whip across the Weaver's chest!

Powerful Mutagen Destruction Aberration Bane Grimoire Whipping: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Powerful Mutagen Destruction Aberration Bane Grimoire Whipping Damage: 1d3 + 15 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 15 + (4, 4) = 25

Bane one Round, 5ft step back

Sledge, his already massive body enlarged further by the extract, charges the creature with staggering force.

Pummeling charge
1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 2 = 28
2d8 + 22 ⇒ (7, 2) + 22 = 31

1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 = 13
2d8 + 19 ⇒ (6, 8) + 19 = 33

1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 2 = 26
2d8 + 19 ⇒ (7, 5) + 19 = 31

If it is necessary to avoid giving it a free shot, he will flex into Lunge.

The creature screams in intense pain from Darius' whip, but barely manages to stay standing.

Sledge lunges at the Weaver, and finishes it off before the aftershocks of his punch even damage her.

Combat over.

1d8 turns into 2d6

" Hrmph, Alright then, with it finished we can see to the likely corpses of those hanging above. Zin can you perhaps get them down? While that is happening let's cleanse this place of any more retches and perhaps procure anything of worth... Then burn it to the ground in holy fire. "

Cutting the coccoons down reveals 6 corpses.

Two goats, which seem to be recent additions.

One incredibly shriveled, emaciated horse corpse.

And three humans.

The most recent of these corpses contains a sealed envelope, half soaked with blood.

Down in the weaverworm's lower chamber are a number of other, smaller cocoons. Thankfully, these contain nothing but treasure.

-1 potion of Heroism
-1 Magic ring
-721 gp

Everyone gets 180 gp.

"Darius, see if you can uncover the properties of the ring. If not, I will Identify it at the end of the day, along with any other magical items we find."

You have Detect Magic and Spellcraft +7, it's worth a try.

Assuming my Mutagen runs down Yes I COULD.. its unlikely Though.. its not his job.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

" Peh, I'm not one to dabble in things like this its not needed for my profession or intended prey. It's Magic that's all I know. "

And Darius isn't even sure of that!

JK.

Not wrong lol. He is playing up his inability.

Fiiiine. Just thought I might save myself a slot.

Jones pockets the ring to Identify it at the end of the day.

"Give it here, I can atleast take a Glance at it."

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"No clue, hopefully it's useful though" says Z handing it back to Jones.

"Should we open this envelope?"

Sledge inspects it for markings.

The envelope is unmarked except for a wax seal on the front.

Darius nods, " It seems prudent to do so. The person before has no ability to deliver it and it is unable to be identified otherwise. We can likely mend the seal if needed afterward. "

I am impressed with the restraint Z has shown. So many opportunities

Are you sure you want to open the sealed envelope just yet? Before getting to a place somebody might recognize the seal?

Does the wax seal have an insignia?

It does (or I assume so). I'd ask for Kn. Nobility and set a DC for it, but nobody has ranks in it.

But it's generally common knowledge that once a seal has been broken, its contents are pretty much considered null and void.

Darius huffs, " Actually maybe its for one of the residents of Asconar Lodge. We can see if anyone recognizes it. "

Heyo, I can make Knowledge checks untrained!

Kn. Nobility: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Recognition tickles the back of Jones' mind, but the answer escapes him.

It had to be the one Knowledge skill I haven't carelessly tossed a rank in yet.

Well, there's also Kn. Geography, but hahahaha no.

Jones stores the envelope.

"Let's see if there's anything else of value before we burn the place down."

There is not.

We torch it

" Well then that should not be happening any time soon again.. hopefully the cowards will have known their place from this example " Darius nods t the rest of the group as they move on back to their previous destination

" That took no time and we MIGHT have done one of the persons along this way a favor in return. How appropriate "

"Indeed. Let it never be said that I am incapable of misjudgment or miscalculation."

Darius smirks " In my lifetime I can safely say there is no such thing as a mortal that does not make mistakes multiple times. The longer the lifespan the more chances that will arise. "

"Speak for yourself. I'm perfect."

"I hope the Lodge can offer us seperate rooms, it would be nice to be able to sleep comfortably."

Darius sighs, then chuckles " I was actually talking about you, as young as you are. I've paid quite an amount attention to you.. You are far from perfect. I will agree on the separate rooms however.. Some peace and quiet would be nice every so often. "

Z shoos Darius' comment away with her hand, "Just don't stare too hard Darius, your pants might start to shrink."

"How much further do you think it is? We've been on this path for a while."

-Posted with Wayfinder

You proceed down the path a ways. After about an hour, you come across another curious sight.

The pale corpse of a naked man hangs from a large yellow pine, bound to the trunk with rough cords. His mouth is stuffed with large, pale purple flowers, and his wrists and ankles are swollen and dark with bruises marking where his bindings cut into his skin, but the large silver hunting knife embedded deep in his heart seems the most likely cause of death.
