Council of Thieves

Game Master Gandrik Th-kar

These guys are too tough, but we can't pass up the shelter!!

Have to take care of kids right now, but really really wanna post!!

Garrand are you taking into account the massive penalties for firing into melee and through an occupied space?

Nope, leaving that up to the GM. I probably should have mentioned it though.

Adria reaches out at the non-feared creature (4) and touches him. The ambient light in the air, even the light of the moon, seems to momentarily dim, and there is a sad sad sound, like the wind softly howling.

TOUCH OF DARKNESS: 1d20 ⇒ 20 TOUCH ATTACK.

That guys now has a 20 percent miss chance on all his attacks. Too bad, so sad. Wish I had used that roll to stab him with a trident or something.

1d100 ⇒ 2 Thug 4 misses this round.

Garrand casts sleep (DC14 will)

Acrobatics 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Sorsha rolls out of the little room.

Down to two hit points

1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17 4 is awake
1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12 3 takes a nap

New round

Nilus gathers himself for a final assault onto the awake mutant as he sidles around him to flank with Adria. At least I think my 5' step provides flanking according to the much more lenient GM Dave flanking rules.

Sword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 Shield Spikes: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Sword confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Sword Crit: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (2, 5) + 8 = 15

Nilus grins a grim smile as he connects.

Told ya.

With an expert cut the mutants giant head comes off.

I assume you dispatch the sleeping mutant.

A search reveals a +1 dagger

edit: Make that 2 +1 daggers (I need to get you guys more combat optimized are daggers the weapons you want to stick with?)

Dibs on one of the daggers!

"Anyone have any healing available?"

Adria picks up a dagger too. I only prepared inflict spells this morning. I can cure you tomorrow. But for now, take this. Adria hands sorsha a Potion of Cure Light Wounds. You need it more than me.

I need to rethink Adria. We don't have enough healing or big arcane damage. I don't think she needs big changes, just maybe a domain choice or something. I will hit the pathfinder books this weekend, haha!

Sorsha guzzles the potion Adria handed her.

1d8 ⇒ 8 of healing

"Thank you!" she says gratefully.

+1 for 9 healing.

Adria looks around the small room. So is this part of a larger building or are we in someone's storage shed?
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Then she looks back out the door. What was that light coming from the building I slammed into?
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
3, 3, my favorite thing to roll to day is 3!

Garrand will step inside and close the door, "Nilus you've been injured as well?"

cast cure light wounds 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
cast cure light wounds 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Nilus stabs the sleeping mutant in the heart with a quick thrust then cleans his blade off on the dirty thing's shirt.

Thanks songmeister Nilus says to the elf then turns and says.

What's next, we gotta hole up somewhere till morning.

As he pulls his last potion out and guzzles it

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Shorsha notices a cellar door in the room you are in.

"Didn't those guys mention Whitechin? Sure sounded like they work for the guy. Which means that trap door likely leads somewhere interesting." Sorsha points out the trap door.

"I'm out of spells for the day. Do you think we should stay here until morning or should we move on?"

Let's hole up here till morning. Can someone with big muscles help me move this heavy box over the trap door so nothing comes up and 'gets' us while we sleep?

"Didn't those guys mention Whitechin? Sure sounded like they work for the guy. Which means that trap door likely leads somewhere interesting." Sorsha points out the trap door.

The called him Whiteclaw.

I'd feel better if we took a peek down there to make sure no one attacks us tonight.

Okay. Adria smiles at Nilus. Then she opens the trap door...
Damn pbp can be dramatic!!! I'm on the edge of my seat:)

"Damn woman, you're as bad as me." Garrand whispers.

Adria winks at the bard. Oh behave.

<chuckle>

"Pop the hatch and I will take quick peek."

Sorsha looks around for something to tie rope to.

Tisk tisk of course it's trapped.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

As Adria opens the hatch an axe blade swings out and and cuts her for 8 damage!

Guy's I don't see anything down in t... *swoosh, hack!!* damn...and I just gave Sorsha my last potion. Adria cusses to herself for being so stupid. Again.

You all had 1 potion left over from the sewers. Let's make it 2 instead as this adventure is going a lot harder than I planned.

You hear a voice.

I heard the trap go off go check on the dummies and see if they are still alive.

Other voice.

Sure Boss.

Adria spends the next few moments lining the trap door with freakin blast runes...Electrical, fire and poison ones. Mwahaha.

You got 2 rounds to prepare.

Sorsha move to B2 (as indicated). She hides there.

Stealth 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

She has her +1 dagger to hand.

Then there are now two blast runes of electricity guarding the trapdoor, and Adria moves to D4, drawing her dagger. 11/19HP

Nilus is content to kill the first thing that shows its ugly head in the trapdoor.

Readied attack

perform (act): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Garrand will cup a hand over his mouth and attempt to imitate Luk, "Uh sorry. Trap went off."

I'm not trying to keep someone from investigating. Just so they aren't expecting trouble.

1d20 ⇒ 14

Intruders boss. The deep voice says flatly.

Well then let them come down and we shall give them our hospitality! A higher pitched screechy voice replies.

It's a standoff. We can't just stand here. They will send goons around out another exit to attack us from the rear. We will find ourselves surrounded.

Nilus eyes Garrand with an annoyed look

You had to say something eh Elf?

With that said, Nalun climbs down the trapdoor.

Come on then! Let's do this.

I will assume Nilus leads. Garrand second. Adria third. Shorsha last.

When you go down through the trap door and down the narrow passage of steps. You find yourself in a dimly lit room.(no miss chance but plenty of shadows for halflings to fit in) This is your typical basement complete with that damp smell. Overpowering that smell is the smell of acrid chemicals coming from a back room.

You see another mutant but much less hideous then the others. This one has the thick scaly skin and seems to have a permanent squint to his eyes. It is wearing studded leather armor and has a great club in its well muscled arms.

The other figure is a sorry example of an Elf with straggly white hair and even thinner white chin hair. You have seen enough magic users to know that this creature wields the power of the arcane. Of interest to Nilus you see a purple scarf that your mother gave to your sister around the Elf's neck.

No surprise round.

The Ogre on the map is the Thug with a club. Fenster the Blight is playing the part of Whitechin AKA Whiteclaw.

Rare initiative roll.

Good Guys: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Bad Guys: 1d20 ⇒ 9 Bad Guys actions will go first after some witty banter I am sure.

What the *bleep* happened to your faces??

My sword hit them a few times Nilus remarks dryly as he hefts his blade and prepares for battle.

Shut your dirty Whore Mouth! The elf shakes with anger then composes himself. Ahem. I meant so say welcome to my humble home can I interest you in some fine black crystal? Its brand new you will be my first customers.

Are you Whitechin the Magnificent? I've heard so much about you!
