Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

This is Council of Thieves AP. Westcrown, City of Twilight, once was the center of Aroden's faith, but now it symbolizes despair. By day, the city remains a vibrant center of trade; but, by night only those with a death wish venture out.

RD 4: Crone Ogre mage

The ogre rages on against Daniel from the prone position,

att 1, prone: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 18 - 4 = 23;damage: 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (2, 6, 5) + 15 = 28

att 2, prone: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 18 - 4 = 30;damage: 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (5, 1, 6) + 15 = 27

The second slash hits the orc, tearing into his flesh.


Evil GM

Daniel you can see that the crone's wounds are self knitting.

Andrea steps into Daniel's square and then into the one to the south of him(SE of the room the ogre is in) and slashes down at the crone.

+2 Long Sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 141d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

And thus we see why Andrea shouldn't get into combat

27hp damage -19 temp hp= 8 Damage. Baldwin, prone is a -4 to her AC please.
The paladin, is appreciative of Andrea and Em's healing magics, but would not back off from the Ogress when he had just gained advantage. She had FINALLY missed because she was prone!
Praise Imoedae! Goddess! Her wounds! Why are they healing?
Knowledge:Arcana to id monster: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

He steps in and overhead chops at her.

27 hits vs her prone AC, right?. 0400 here. Tired. Takes 66 damage from my attack. More if she stands.

Andrea, her wounds are closing!


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Wounds are healing! Orsin, Euphemia! Do you know of anything that can help?


F Human Witch 13 Init+4 Hp: 104/91--- AC:20 t:15 ff:16---F8//R9//W13--Perception +16

What knowledge? Also, Euphemia might have to chance things for a look at her...
"Yes! Hit her harder!"


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Lol


Evil GM

RD 4: AOO on Andrea

As the cleric slides into the room to engage in combat the crone takes her AOO,

att 1, prone: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 18 - 4 = 15;damage: 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (1, 5, 6) + 15 = 27

reflex save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

The heavy blade almost slips out f the crone's bloodied hands.

You slide behind Daniel to get a look at the crone thinking Andrea took the attack but old crone is surprising quick,

AOO 2:

att 1, prone: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 18 - 4 = 16;damage: 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (4, 5, 5) + 15 = 29

Knowledge Planes and Nature.


Evil GM

DMPC - Orsin: RD 4

The charismatic bard's lungs are filled with a battle tune when he moves inot the room to join the battle (-B,4) and he also envokes her quick battle wrath,

att 1, prone: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 18 - 4 = 25;damage: 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (5, 3, 3) + 15 = 26

He takes a near devastating slice from her massive blade but he quickly tries to return the hack,

+2 longsword, Power Attack, inspire courage, prone defender: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 2 = 24;damage: 1d8 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 16 + 2 = 22

He hits the giantes with his mighty blow.


Evil GM

Daniel identifies the creature as an Oni, Mage Ogre. A shapeshifting outsider that has the regeneration ability. A creature with innate magical abilities. Then his blade hits home and giantess slumps on the ground. Her large sword dangling from her grasp.


Evil GM

What are you doing?

Crap. I am wielding an EVIL OUTSIDER BANE Longsword. I don't know if you were taking that into account or not. Every attack would have been +2 higher and damage +2 and 2d6. Sword works regardless if I knew what it was or not.

The paladin keeps up his assault on the Oni.

Not sure if you mean she is dropped already

Knowing what it is, the the paladin’s efforts are doubled. He was going to cut her head off!!

BANE, RV, Inspired, SMITE VS Prone AC: 1d20 + 18 + 4 + 2 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (6) + 18 + 4 + 2 + 4 - 3 = 31

DAMAGE: 1d20 + 3 + 6 + 2d6 + 2 + 10 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 6 + (6, 2) + 2 + 10 + 9 = 57

The paladin’s sword comes alive in his hands, whether from him realizing this creature was an example of all that he was trained to destroy or not remained to be seen.

100 Damage! Also Baldwin, the FIRST Attack vs her does 20 points bonus smite damage instead of ten.

If the target of smite evil is an outsider with the evil subtype, an evil-aligned dragon, or an undead creature, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack increases to 2 points of damage per level the paladin possesses.

Daniel, do you know what this is? Do we need special weapons to kill her?


Evil GM

His evil outsider sword will make sure she is dead dead. I didn't know you had an evil outsider sword for extra damage.

There are no secret or concealed doors within the room. As far as her possessions go, her sword radiates a moderate aura of evocation, her ring has feint to moderate aura of of abjuration, and her chain shirt under her gown has feint aura of abjuration.


F Human Witch 13 Init+4 Hp: 104/91--- AC:20 t:15 ff:16---F8//R9//W13--Perception +16

Assured that no one has died horribly who didn't deserve it, Euphemia goes through the motions of identifying all the new treasure.

Let us check the rest of the rooms here, I believe there was a cabinet in one of the rooms.

Andre atakes out some potions. Daniel, Orsin, do you need healing?

Daniel lowers his blade. Puffing and covered in blood from the fight, he no longer looked like the 'shining knight'
Special Weapons? My sword was exactly what was required.

He takes a knee to thank Imoedae and starts healing up with his wand.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Seeing the nasty gash Orsin took, Andrea gives him a CSW potion to drink.

CSW: 3d8 + 5 ⇒ (8, 5, 1) + 5 = 19

DO you need more?

Ashe finishes healing himself and offers the wand around. He kneels while any searching goes on to pray.
Imoedae, my strength. We have prevailed against this foe but we are not done by far. I call upon your grace to grant me more healing, for I feel I will need to spill more blood this. Bless and us. Know that we fight for right and for each other and this brotherhood will have victory.
Daniel is using his divine bond to get 4 extra LOH today.


Evil GM

The ring is a ring of protection +2, the chain shirt is +1 but the great sword is +2 berserking sword. This would explain the fury and rage in her eye when she entered melee with Daniel.


Evil GM

Are you resting, going to search those rooms or both? Yes, Andre there was one room that was outfitted nicely that looked like it was occupied and had a cabinet in it.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

A cursed blade this is, fit for those who wish to lose themselves in bloodlust.

Edit:Let us check the room with the cabinet in it, there might be something of worth there. Gerard, would you please use your skills to make sure this creature did not leave anything behind to harm us?

I feel we can still continue on as long as others feel the same way. We can finish searching this section of Walcourt and then continue searching the main building.


Male Human Rogue 13 | 97/97 | AC 26/19/19 | F 8/R 16/W 7 | Init +7 | Perc +18/+22

There were boots.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Disable Device, as needed: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 18 + 2 = 39


Evil GM

The boots look nice and they do not radiate magic.

He studies the cabinet and Euphemia detects agic and there is nothing magical about it. Gerard eye-balls the opening and doesn't see anything tricky, just a simple snap lock.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

After getting an okay from Gerard, Andrea opens the cabinet.


Evil GM

Gerard and Euphemia watch Andrea as she disappears.

Andrea Only:

You are in a dark room utterly devoid of light.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Baldwin:
Andrea messages back to the group. Can you hear me, I am somewhere dark. She remains absolutely still, listening carefully .
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18


Evil GM

Andrea:

Who cast message in the first place?
Not only to you see nothing in the pitched deep darkness, there is absolutely no sound.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Baldwin:
Orsin

Trying not to panic, Andrea tries to determine what kind of floor is under her foot, or if there are any particular smells. She then tries picturing the room with the cabinet in her mind and willing herself there, wondering if she is in some kind of magical space like that Handy haversack.


Evil GM

Andrea only:

You don't hear anything including you voice. You can touch what feels like wood planking. You can make a knowledge arcana check and spellcraft check.

Andrea Only part 2:

You can smell the perspiration coming from your body, and the damp bacterial filled garments you have due to your hard day at work.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Baldwin:
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18


Evil GM

Andrea Only:

You figure there is some sort of deeper darkness and silence spell in this area, it's probably permanent in nature.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Baldwin:
None of my spells suitable or usable here in this silence field. The worst thing I could do is move from this spot. Best to stay right here and wait. Andrea thinks to herself and then she kneels, waits and prays.


Male Human Rogue 13 | 97/97 | AC 26/19/19 | F 8/R 16/W 7 | Init +7 | Perc +18/+22

Should we follow?. Gerard looks to the others, anxiety on his face.

For the first time, a genuine look of panic crosses Daniel's face.
Em, detect magic on this. We need to know if it is a trap or just some magic door to..somewhere. Even if it is a door and not a trap considering the type of object it is in a thieves den, I would guess a transport to get this rooms occupant to a place of Safety. For them. Heaven’s help me, a place of retreat for one of these thieves would be just as good as a trap for Andrea. Were it just I, I would follow but if we all go we may well find ourselves surrounded in an impossible situation. Goddess, guide me but if we lose the Initiative here, we all die and we achieve nothing.

The paladin closes his eyes as if making a very hard decision....

I have to fight for the greatest good.
Em, unless you can tell me otherwise my Military training says to stay the course.
Our best chance of saving Andrea could well be to capture someone with knowledge of this or get to Illnerik. He would likely keep her alive as a bargaining chip, an ace to hold against us. Gerard. ..I need your help. My code says I cannot leave an ally to die, but to follow could kill you all and my duty is to all of you and to destroy Illnerik. If I go alone, no disrespect, but I don't think your chances are good.


Male Human Rogue 13 | 97/97 | AC 26/19/19 | F 8/R 16/W 7 | Init +7 | Perc +18/+22

Reaching into his pack... Less talk, more action.

Producing a length of rope, Gerard tosses it into the blackness and reels it back out, hand over hand. He examines it for damage or any untoward effect.


Evil GM

If possible Emphemia is panicked more than anyone else as she responds to Daniel, "I...I...I d... I did detect magic...it showed non." Her voice rises higher.


Evil GM

Andrea Only:

A simple thought comes to your mind...a reminder from Duncan. "G'rl, don't panic th'ink wit yer head, remain calm." Andrea you place yoru hand on the cool wall and can begin to count paces and search for an access point. Make two perception checks as you pace.


Evil GM

Gerard, Emphemia and Daniel tossing the rope hits cabinet door and falls to the floor, it never passes through the doorway.

None? Gerard are you thinking a false bottom or trapdoor maybe? I can probe with my hammer perhaps? Let's be sure she is or is not here before we move.

The paladin reaches around for his hammer and wonders where Azreal is....


Evil GM

Azreal is still at your family manner in the city. he's been gone for a while which could be a boon or perhaps he is in trouble.


F Human Witch 13 Init+4 Hp: 104/91--- AC:20 t:15 ff:16---F8//R9//W13--Perception +16

"I-I would dispel the aura if there was anything to dispel!" Euphemia squeaks, fingering the hilt of the Morrowfall to whack against the side of the cupboard... as if that would do something.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Baldwin:
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
Perception: 1d29 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

If this place was a bolt hole where one could escape from, it would be one thing, but why darkness and silence? Andrea keeps pacing. Dark, yes that is not unexpected but a strong spell and magical silence? Perfect for a prison.


Evil GM

Andrea only:
as you pace trying to locate a door or access point you realize that there is not a seam to be had...at least to you touch. It measure roughly 10 by 10 when you trip over something that slides when you kick it, then something bounces off your mid thigh.
