Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

*whispering* Yes.

Shinon stops walking and puts his hand up. "Quick! Everyone hide, someone's coming!" he whispers to the group, before quickly dousing his torch and falling back next to Andrea.

And now I'm off to work. Back in 6 hours.

Shinon is unable to fall back as the double trap triggered. The group hears a thud and grown from Shinon.

Nobody breathe, I'm gonna check on Trigger.
Duncan casts detect magic quietly and moves foreward checking up to Shinon and as far as he sees.

Stealth1d20 + 5 - 3 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 3 = 19

Duncan fell all the way back to Andrea so Eagleyes could sneakily carry his torch that screams 'Look at me, I am the onlybright light in a pitch black tunnel! ;)

Duncan honestly didn't mind the lads initiative but he needed to learn how to operate in a world of darkness. Like get the Big Tough Armored Warrior to be the Light Holder, while the quiet, perceptive types scout ahead using superior vision to see without being seen.
He was going to let the elf learn the hard way...

Perception1d20+6

Duncan crouches near Andrea Keep it completely covered for the moment.

Duncan right about the time that Shinon took his last step you noticed the caltrops on the ground. The half elf safely stepped down, his attention momentarily fixed on his boot near a caltop, then the thud of somethng hitting the elf's thigh. There was a splatter of liquid.

Andrea stays put.

Duncan thinks he is being pretty sneaky, keeping low and making his way to Shinon. The torch is 5 feet in front of Shinon, still lit. You do not see a magic coming from the two traps. Either the caltrops or the axe. You can see the open slot where he axe began. Shinon is thigh is stuck to the axe and its holding Shinon in place.

John pulls out his Tower shield and prepares for a battle.

There is voice coming from the junture. "What'll want? Yer not wanted 'ere leave now and don'tcha come back." The loud husky voice echoes, "Yer not gonna do well, got ya overmanned."

Does it sounds like Henk or any of the crew we met before?

There seems to be ones behind and before us. They do have the advantage here. We must decide if we really want to fight or negotiate for the information on the noble and what they are doing. I won't hold anyone back, just consider if it really worth it.

Sounds like it could be the guide who led you out of the tunnel but you are not absolutely positive.

"So what'd itbe?" Snickers the man, "death in the sewers or go back and git topside?" The voice comments.

It be topside. We only come ere looking for goblins ta play wit and here the fool in front steps on a bloody axe.
Bluff1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Duncan grabs one of Shinon's potions and pours it down his throat, as the healing energies take over he pulls the axe from his ally's leg knowing the magic will stop any bleeding.

"Yer was lost and runnin' last time we met, doubt ye came back 'ere lookin' fer goblin's...thinks yer lookin' fer loot or sumething else."

He doesn't seem to be convinced. "Besides orders are no trespazzers."

cure light for Shinon: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Quite right. We arn't here to commit murder on fellow humans(That includes dwarves and such) just house cleaning for coin. Goblins have been having sticky fingers.

Bluff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Orders? Would that be from Sir Henk? I believe he is just the man we want to see. We''re needing a little information that perhaps he can help us with. Youc an tell him the lady with the pretty mouth wants to talk to him again.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Course we be after loot, goblins carry plenty don't belong to em. Adventurer's gotta make a livin don't e? Actually where be yer boss? People who like hanging out in sewers gotta have a use fer strong arms an blades if ye git me drift.

Clem looks at the dwarf and Elf...laughing "Whatistheworld comin' to a dwarf and elf as friends." without a second thought he shoots his notch bow and shoots at Shinon.

Clem's Arrow at Shinon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 91d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6;
Dex to see if String breaks: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 His string snaps.

You see! You see! The Gods want you to take us to your boss!

Andrea suddenly slams face-first into the ledge..

So far you only see Clem peeking around edge of the tunnel junture about 60 feet away. There is a small plank bridge at the end and a glow of light.

Ha! Ye dolt! Mebbe I'll have Trigger here give ye a lesson in shootin AFTER i cave yer head in

Shinon gasps and grabs his leg in pain. "AH! Damnations, what's the point of having a million voices in your head second-guessing everything you do if not one of them reminds you to look for ****ing traps?!"

Duncan pours a potion down Shinon's throat. Shinon looks annoyed. "I'm fine, mate. I'm just fine. Let me at that bastard..."

Shinon draws an arrow and fires at Clem.

[ooc]Technically since I won initiative this guy should be flat-footed. Then again, it could be argued that knowing his action has influenced my actions as a player and etc. So I'll just let Baldwin decide that one.

Attack:
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Damage:
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

"Good plan Andrea, they seem to be using ranged weapons, on the ground you will be harder to hit." After saying that to Andrea, John will move 20 ft toward the attacker and set his tower shield up to give him cover.

Attack:
1d20+8
Damage:
1d8+3

That is true on the FF. Duncan actually did three actions: Grab potion off of Shinon, pour potion into Shinon's mouth, pull axe out of thigh. From a going with the dramatic story flow, I permited the entire action. Shinon this person has cover but you did hit him with an 18. I should have mentioned to roll a % dice to see if there is miss with concealment.

Here is the current battlemap, except John has moved up to F7. However, the bandits are a bit more concealed. You don't clearly see the bandits from your locations and you don't see the down the side the tunnels. I quickly drew the map so there are a few unsmoothed edges such as G-3 does not have a stone extention over the sewage.

Striking Kenji solidly solidly.

Meanwhile, a strange looking half-elf dressed in a long cloak pops out from on of the sewer junctures, "Elo greso" there is 10ft splatter of grease that blankets the the ledge between Shinon and the defenders (Hexes F0 and F1)

Ermolos puts his axe on his back, draws his crossbow and loads an bolt, aiming towards the area where Kenji was hit from.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

"I think he is in a nook across the sewage ditch beyond 30 feet in shadows. Guys, we have trouble in the rear."

I forgot to put ermolos on the map he is located in F14.

EDIT: Ermolos is on the map but his icon did not come up well, I will change that one out when I get home.

Rd2 Begins;

Shinon tries to force his will on Clem but it doesn't seem to have an effect. His arrow thumps the wall to no avail.

Clem disappears and restrings his bow.

Ouch. Too bad Kenji didn't have deflect arrow.

RD 2 Action

Andrea stands unsteadily and casts Entropic Shield on herself (2 minutes, 20% miss chance on ranged attacks)

Kenji's Rd 1 action. I editted the Rd1 recap post above to reflect Kenji's action.

Kenji will move down the tunnel 30 feet in the direction the group came from, to shed light and try to observe the soruce of the arrow. Kenji is now in F22

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

He does see the nook roughly 30 feet away on the tunnel's other side. It blends intot he wall very well.

RD2 Sewer Map

SEWER MAP RD2

I placed the grease on the ledge for your visual.

I cannot see where the badguys are on the map so I am kind of at a loss as to what to do.

Kenji, baddie is in a nook at H-27 I believe to the right side of the map on the other side of the trench.

Ughh...Kenji! be careful!

You sure thats a badguy? Doesn't look like one.

Well I will move along the trench and get right arcoss from it at H-26
I will then draw a shuriken at chuck it at'em
Attack:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 For:1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Yer in trouble now lad

Duncan Moves to F2 dropping his pick and pulling his loaded crossbow as part of the move. He stops before the grease and fires at the man in G,-5.

Attack:1d20+4 For:1d3+1

I'm positive its a bandit H26. It's an overhead view of the token and I need to remove the snap to grid feature. Bandit is at H26, kenji is at F26. I will try to edit the nook a bit on the next map.

The shuriken thuds against the tunnel wall splashing down in the mucky sewage.

Yer in trouble now lad

Duncan Moves to F2 dropping his pick and pulling his loaded crossbow as part of the move. He stops before the grease and fires at the man in G,-5.

Duncan was able to successfully get by the caltrops in Shinon's hex.

Duncan, you made it passed the caltrops, but make a Acrobatic Roll DC 10 to see if you were able to squeeze by Shinon on the ledge without falling into the sewer trench. Three foot ledge with two bodies.

The bandit across the sewage trench from Kenji has a look of fearful hatred in his black eyes as he pulls his shortbow string back and lets it go.

Arrow at Kenji: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Puncturing the Kenji with a second arrow. "Die you beast," he growls.

Montague lets the crackle of his finger tips work and two flashes of blue and white light go forth and strike Duncan solidly, sending a wave of damaging energy through his body.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 21d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The double bolt hits the dwarf hard.

the half elf then takes a move backwards out of sight.

Ermolos moves up towards Kenji(Hex F21) and lets his crossbow bolt rip.

Ermolos Crossbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Missing the man.

RD3 action

Andrea moves up behind Ermolos Kenji! Tend to your wounds! Or I can heal you!

Acrobatics DC10 to move through at 1/2 speed1d20 + 3 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 - 3 = 19
Best keep running boy. I'm coming fer ye.
He uses his other move action to reload his crossbow

Realizing he is in a terrible tactical position, He activates his judgement to help him shrug off some damage Swift Action- Fast Healing activated. 1HP recovered.

What wounds? Far as I can tell I have not even been attacked.

EDIT: Correction, I see a bandit shot at me in recap but no damage is listed. Guess he missed.

Page up a bit, you have taken 13 points of damage

I only found 5 damage but where are you getting 13 from?

Well in any event. If I have sustained 13 damage then I would have popped a potion instead of throwing a shuriken round 2
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Round 3 I will leap across the trench next to the baddie and attack him with a kick
Acrobatics:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Its on this page about 20 posts back. It was 2 posts before the RD1 Recap

The kick hits him hard.

The space Kenji kicked into is barely 5 ft deep. No two characters can occupy the same space unless one is helpless CRB 193. That would put Kenji falling backwards into the trench. Make a fortitude save DC12.

RD3 action

Andrea moves up behind Ermolos Kenji! Tend to your wounds! Or I can heal you!

you still have a standard action or another move action remaining.
