Baldwin the Merciful's Razor Coast: Black Spot (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

After dodging the zap from one creature, and despite knowing that it is dangerous, Dinetta decides to shift over and help Marcus with his elemental since one dead and one healthy is always better than two injured, a standard saying among adventurers who survived multiple battle.

5-foot move between the elementals

Full Attack

Attack-rapier: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Attack-dagger: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 22
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Attack-haste: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 27
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 27 <-- that sucks, just realized that crits don't work on elementals, oh well
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

All three jabs are accurate. Despite the small size of her weapon, the attacks have an effect.

Dinetta shifts her position and destroys the elemental battling Marcus, leaving only one LL remaining.

One of Jean's arrows hits the ball of lightning but it is still fighting.

Revhi pulls out her crossbow and fires at the last one!

Fighting Defensively, Using Crane Wing on first attack

Marcus destroys the last of the LL creatures. You don't see any other obvious threats within the room, but there is strange equipment and the gem.

Hopefully this will be worth it. Jeome is still wary about approaching the gem.

Dinetta looks across the room, her eyes growing as she looks at the gem.
We wouldn't want to leave that gem here unguarded. Someone might steal it.

She will carefully move across the room to see if she can get the gem.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 <-- searching for traps

--> she also has Trap Spotting ability

Jerome swipes the chips. If we can find some cook that can make these, we can get some good cash.

Dinetta you think the trap was the LL which you've disposed of. As you get close to the weird equipment and the gem, you get an idea. What would happen if a wand was placed near the pulsating energy? Acting on the hunch you put your CLW on the equipment. Speeding this up a bit.

recharge: 2d12 ⇒ (1, 11) = 12

Your wand regains 12 charges.

Once Jerome is informed of it. Now this is a find.If we can come back and recharge our wands later, perhaps run a wand recharge buisness.

This place isn't so bad, we got a charging station for wands and a healing place.

Does anyone else have any wands?

What are you going to do next? Or where are you heading?

Jerome tries recharging his wand of CLW 45/50.

Let us head through the east door.

Unfortunately it doesn't recharge. You sense that perhaps this is a limited each day. When you grab the gem and tug it out everything powers down, the lights go off, and the portal exiting the room won't open when you put your hand on the strange hand pad. A few moments later an eerie green glow bathes the entire room in a phosphorous twilight.

Huh. I guess the gem has something to do with all of this. Jerome puts it back.

Putting the gem back results in flickering lights and then the humming sound of everything powering back up.

Dinetta looks at the replaced gem with interest.
Strange. Perhaps we could take it with magic. Lets remember where it is so that we can come back if we need to recharge things.

She then heads out of the room and proceeds to examine the next door.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

DD: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Dinetta you find that the portal is unlocked and it slides open as soon as you wave your hand by the pad. This large compartment is dominated by a large vat of inky black liquid set into the floor. A curving path traverses over the liquid, which roils as if is stirred by some unseen agent.

On the other end of the path you see the Captain. Who is standing ready for battle. More menacing at the back of the long room is a large hideous creature, The Engineer, you suspect. It possesses a large bulk of green flesh that scuttles around on six insectoid legs. Two surprisingly prehensile claws emerge from its central mass and a great ring of razor teeth hiss and rasp. It has countless eyes on the fore of its body, each black and pupil-less. Bulging semi-transparent brain sacs adorn the back of its bulk. Every one of them is currently occupied by a pulsing human brain vivisected from a sailor the Engineer lured to its doom on the rocks of the Trident.

HURG! Jerome gags as the creature comes fully into sight. There is a small green gem on the north wall.

There is musky odor coming from the Engineer.

Dinetta steps to the side and speaks:
Whatever it is, it is not good. There is also something behind that door. Motioning her head to the door on the right.

Lets shoot him, or make him come to us. I don't trust those black pools.

With that, she sheathes her rapier and draws and loads her sling.
Pretty sure she cannot also fire this round.

Markus charges blindly ahead as he gets on the curving path he realizes the error of his way as the collapses quickly into the inky solution.

Make a relfex save Markus.

"You should have fled, when you had the chance, you should have fled" The Captain utters. "He's too clever...powerful." With his speech the Captain grimaces in pain.

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Marcus as you begin to dash across the path it begins to crumble under your feet, you sense the error in your path and quickly change direction.

forward 1, backward 2: 1d2 ⇒ 2

You are able to stop your momentum and grab onto the edge. Your feet barely missing the inky substance, you notice all the movement within the foul liquid....LEECHES!

RD 1: Capt Riggs

The Captain's rapier hisses as he slices the air, he mumbles "Alessandra and I will cut you down...as...as...the Engineer demands." He twirls his blade in a figure 8 fashion. Then he drinks out of vile and his image becomes fuzzy.

I have returned. Should I wait for the brine zombies to go before taking my action?

Revhi you can go. I'll take the zombies action if I can get on tonight. bit busy.

Revhi you can go. I'll take the zombies action if I can get on tonight.

Revhi puts a ring on Marcus and barks out a spell, then grins. "Go hard Marcus. My god watches over you."

Shield other. +1 deflection to AC and +1 resistance bonus on saves, and you take half damage from all sources (the rest of the damage gets transferred to Revhi). Stay within 35 feet of me.

Six zombies shuffle through the door towards the closest heroes, eager to feast on an arm or leg.

Dinetta nods.
I would love to let the zombies come to us. But we all need to pull back. We can't leave anyone behind though.

Dinetta, hoping the others follow, steps back through the doors.

Withdraw action to U-16.

Don't forget haste!

Jerone tosses a Glitterdust at the nasty monster at the back of the room, hoping to blind it so they can pull back.
DC 16 or be blinded

Jerome then moves to V-15
