Right-o

Sling at the yellow puppy 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 for 1d3 ⇒ 1 damage
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 for 1d3 ⇒ 1 damage
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 for 1d3 ⇒ 2 damage

Not a complaint, but the step up in pace really caught me off guard.

Nilus moves up to the Green Hellhound and swings at it with his longsword.

Hellhounds! What in the hells are they doin ere!

PWLongsword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Yea just one of those nights lol

By the way that is exactly how I want you to do your turn if you get skipped.

Shorsha hits the Yellow with a rock for 2 damage.

Green has taken 3.

Mummy took 3 before this.

Garrand and Adria have round 6 actions up.

The Hell Pups attack Nilus.

Both Hell Dogs Miss.

The 'Mummy' Casts Burning Hands on Nilus and the 2 Hell Dogs. Reflex save DC 14 To save for half.

If you are around take your Round 7 actions.

Adria and Garrand have 2 Round 7 actions.

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Nilus doesn't raise his shield in time and gets a burn across the shoulder from the gout of flame.

Nilus lashes out at the Green Hellhound

Your next bub, that fire smarts.

Nilus says with a growl to the "Mummy"
Nilus 5' steps over the dead Hellhound to threaten the Mummy.

The green Hellhound goes down with a Yip!

Nilus Initative for next round: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Mummy Initative for next round: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Not looking too good for my Mummy LOL!

Sorsha drops her sling, draws her daggers and advances five feet.

I'm posting sneak attack just in case yellow is flanked. If he isn't then please ignore.

Sorsha stabs the yellow dog, twice.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 for1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 damage
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 for1d3 ⇒ 1 damage

Plus double sneakiness
2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

Sorsha Hits with a dagger for 11 damage on the yellow hell Dog.

Garrand will fire another arrow
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 <sigh>

Garrand You have another Action

Firing a second arrow at the dog: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 LOL what are the chances?

Lets go to round 8! Adria has 3 round 8 actions.

The dog is still up and the Mummy is fumbling in his pack for something. But Nilus has initiative on him!

Not this time bub, not this time.

PWLongsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19PW Shield Bash: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Damage!: 1d8 + 1d4 + 9 ⇒ (6) + (3) + 9 = 18

The 'Mummy' crumples to the floor a tanglefoot bag rolls out of his hand.

Sorsha attacks the yellow doggie again.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 for 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 damage

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 for 1d3 ⇒ 1 damage

sneakiness:

2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

It dies combat over.

Sorsha does a thorough search of the immediate area. She picks up her sling and makes a mental note to retrieve her spear on the way out.

Search: perception 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Garrand will cast detect magic and help search.
perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Loot if you choose to take and carry it all.

8 studded leather
4 light mace
4 heavy mace
4 thieves tools
160 gold

On the mummy you find. Combat Gear tanglefoot bag, potion of cure light wounds; Other
Gear masterwork studded leather armor, dagger, 50 gp

Garrand and Shorsha search the area and decide that only part of this underground area is original stone work. The further in you go into the complex you start to notice the walls have been carved out by something with very sharp claws it seems.

"We may as well take the gold and leave the heavy stuff here. Nilus, you should drink the potion.

The MW Studded Leather with an armor penalty of 0 would be pretty nice for someone

"I'm out of first level spells but we can go on if you wish."

What are these first level spells you speak of? Perhaps I will drink this potion so it raises my hit points. Nilus says, snarkily

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

I'll update the loot log later

<sticks out his tongue at Nilus>

Whew. Adria just stood around looking confused I guess.
Well Garrand, I've got almost all my own spells still since you did all the work this time. What the hell do we know of that could bore tunnels like this?
knowledge history: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
knowledge arcana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
knowledge religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Loot log is updated, I assumed we only took the masterwork items, thieves tools and the gold. Lets get this party going some more, Nilus is ready to rumble!

Garand will try to determine what may have carved the tunnel

knowledge: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Knowledge (dungeoneering) +7
Knowledge (engineering) +3
Knowledge (geography) +3
Knowledge (history) +7
Knowledge (local) +7
Knowledge (nature) +7
Knowledge (nobility) +7
Knowledge (planes) +3
Knowledge (religion) +7

"I'm not sure... we may as well move on."

A few months ago Adria had a comfortable life in the Asmodean library. Ready ancient cult books. Killing innocent animals. Crawling through dungeons slaying monsters and hell hounds wasn't where she expected she would be. Just how does one turn a regular dog into a hell hound? she wonders looking over the alchemical gear. No need to answer GM. Just breathing character into the thread;)

"Just why would one want to." Garrand asks kicking one of the hell dogs over with a look of repugnance on his face.

Good point songsmith. Nilus says practically

Nilus shifts in his armor uncomfortablly, he seems eager to be off

To complete the knowledge rolls: Knowledge (local) 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

"There's a passage more or less in front of us, but we also left a closed door behind us. Do we want to boldly go where no halfling has been before and ignore the closed door or do we want to clear the area before moving on?"

Looking at the map, there's what appears to be a door directly opposite the stairwell we came down. I do not remember any of us going through that door.

Sorsha is right you have not gone through that door.

While you stand here discussing Adria pulls out her curved blade and begins to cut open one of the dogs and examine it.

"Um, yuck. Let's go take a look at that door we passed by." Matching action to words he'll skirt the necropsy and stride back to the door.

Garrand opens the unlocked door and is attacked by on of four wolf skeletons!

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

I never said anything about opening it!

Withdraw! Garrand withdraws back to where his token is currently (and hides behind the cleric!)

"Guys... I have good news and bad news. The bad news, there are four wolf skeletons behind that door. I was lying about the good news."

Funny, cutting into the hell hound is exactly something I picture my sick little cleric actually doing.

Adria looks up from her work. Gha! Nothing ever changes. Every time a simple librarian wants to dig into some research something comes up. 'do you know where I can find a book on oversize Teifling Claws?'. Library patrons can be so annoying.

Adria stands up and brushes her bloody hands on her suit.

Friends, I don't think this is a dog. I think it might be a Teifling. Or what's left of one.

Garrand gently turns Adria towards the oncoming skeletons, "Terribly sorry to interrupt but..."

Holy hairballs who let THOSE things out!?

Actually the GM but I can't very well blame him. Nilus gets upset when I speak out of character :-)

"Um... Well..."

Nilus, relieved to see something he can hit, lifts his shield.

Alrighty then, lets do this

Sorsha moves away from the very interesting dissection towards the sounds of a fight.

hahaha
Don't worry, songsmith, I will protect you. Adria casts spiritual weapon. A vicious little daggar appears and starts shredding the dogs.
holding dice rolls to see how Dave wants to handle the combat. For all I know that standard action was enough time for 3 of them to eviscerate me.

Na you guys can go.

For the map put one just outside the door. The rest are piled up behind it.

Garrand will sing (inspire courage +1 to hit and damage)
