Council of Thieves

Game Master Gandrik Th-kar

Time for some audience participation Garrand takes a shot at the fleeing Fake Adria...
bow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 24
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Xeno considers just for a moment before lashing out at the retreating fake.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Rapier damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Shocking grasp damage: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 1) = 11

51 Damage! The Fake Adria Falls into the music pit at -1 HP.

Sorsha just stands there in awe and amazement. She begins to applaud, but then recollects who and what she is supposed to be and mentally prepares herself for the next part of the play.

Some of Maloch's stage hands goes and "attends" to the fallen "actor" you will be able to question her later. All because a few of you befriended the hunchback.

Act 5: The Birthing Trial Xeno takes over as Adria clumsily having to be fed all her lines. No time to ask who this helpful stranger is the show must go on! Also I forgot about the NPC actor Illisandra. You will have to keep her safe in the coming battles.

HAANDERTHAN
You have crawled from the maw of the Beast. Let us see
what blasphemous lies slither from your treacherous
insides. Show them.

The Bailiff brings out five crimson eggs.

DROVALID
Dear Asmodeus! Spare us!

LARAZOD
What means these strange crimson eggs?

DROVALID
Oh horror beyond nightmare! The eggs, they burrow deep
within us. They hatch deep in our insides, churning ourguts to paste and slurping them through gritted devil teeth.
They feed on our souls. When these foul devils have eaten
their fill, they tear their way free—terrible things! Hideous
devil-children bearing our own faces, but filled with hate
for all we are. We are mothers to twisted things and look
upon our own visage as we die by their taloned hands.

HAANDERTHAN
Shall you recant now, or will you give birth to abominations
of your very flesh?

ILSANDRA
Do your worst, fool of a mortal. I am a princess to hell, and no
child born of my black soul shall bear malice against me.
Larazod lifts the Bailiff off the ground by the throat with one
mighty hand.

LARAZOD
Ha! Give me your egg, you lickspittle. If Asmodeus wishes
it, I shall choke the life of my own devilish child with glee.
I gulp this egg down before this court and our dark lord’s
very eyes.

DENTRIS
Well, give me mine. Not much good it shall avail you.
The real Dentris Maltrada was killed ages ago at my own
devilish hands when I was born from his old soul. I am a
child of this egg

TYBAIN
Truly?! I had no idea!

DENTRIS
If only everyone was as naïve as ye, paladin.

TYBAIN
I like eggs! Red, white, or otherwise. Hand me mine! I’ll
eat it raw!

The Birthing Trial:

Targets Larazod, Dentris, Drovalid, Ilsandra, Tybain

Torment—Crimson Egg: A PC must make a DC 15 Fortitude save
upon eating his egg. Failure indicates he is nauseated for 2
rounds. Success indicates he is merely sickened for 2 rounds.

Upon eating your egg 5 creatures made to look like each of you including Illislandra appear and attack.

Illislandra fails her save and becomes sick.

Give me a few to get a map up. Please roleplay

Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Best die roll ever. :)

Sorsha eats her egg, wipes her mouth with the sleev of her costume and looks supremely unconcerned.

Acting!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Nilus pops the egg into his mouth and swallows, grimacing.

Acting: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Alas, the egg brings forth abominations to be slain!

Killed it!

Oh dear, it would have been easier to destroy something important to stop the play.

Xeno delivers her line as best as possible. Acting: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

As the fake Adria falls Garrand will add lib to the audience, "Oh well, we had to many Dentris' anyway."

Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

As the fake Adria falls Garrand will add lib to the audience, "Oh well, we had to many Dentris' anyway."

[dice=Fort]d20+2

Big Laugh.

Good acting rolls that will increase your fame.

Shorsha killed the fort roll so she is not affected by the eggs. Crazy Halfling stomach

Nilus and Garrand are sickened for 2 rounds. Sickened: The character takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

Xeno is Nasuated For 2 Rounds.Nauseated: Creatures with the nauseated condition experience stomach distress. Nauseated creatures are
unable to attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do
anything else requiring attention. The only action such a
character can take is a single move actions per turn.

5 Lemures are summoned forth. Each only 5 feet in front of the actor.

The least of devilkind, lemures roil forth from the ranks
of souls damned to Hell, shapeless masses of quivering
f lesh. What spark of instinct or memory lingers on
within a lemure’s semi-consciousness regularly shapes its
features to mimic those of its tormentors or the tortured
souls around it. Grotesque and useless, a lemure’s
features speak nothing of what it once was. Many
exhibit multiple terrible visages or are nothing more
than churning pillars of cancerous f lesh. Only their
knobby, f lailing limbs work as they should, and those
they merely use to destroy any non-infernal life that
draws too near. Moving lemures typically congeal
in forms over 4 feet tall and weigh upward of 200
pounds, though when at rest these disgusting fiends
often appear to be little more than lumps of melted
flesh and malformed features.

AC 14, touch 10, flat-footed 14 (+4 natural)
hp 15
Fort +4, Ref +3, Will +0
DR 5/good or silver; Immune fire, mind-affecting effects,
poison; Resist acid 10, cold 10

Map updated

The Clouds are the Lemures.

They are slow and dumb Players go first.

Nilus takes a 5' step forward and unleashes an attack on the lemure.

PW Morningstar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15Damage: 1d8 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (7) + 7 - 5 = 9

Come and get it squishy-face!

Cold Iron is not the same as silver correct?

Garrand casts mirror image
images: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Correct, silver and cold iron are different.
Xeno is sickened as well. Assuming that it has been more than 4 minutes since she cast her spells only the shocking hands will be active.

Knowledge Planes (to use the information you have given us): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 Probably just the resistances.

"Just hit hard, they'll ignore some" She says quietly to those fighting with her. My sword will done nothing to these things, I'll have to rely on my spells.

Attack (with sword to discharge shocking hands): 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 2 = 19
Damage Rapier: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0
Damage Shocking grasp: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6, 6) = 22

As a swift action she recalls shocking grasp, 5 of 7 Arcane pool remaining.

knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Garrand you know what these things are despite the -2 you suffer.

Xeno you can not attack this round as you failed your Fort Save.
I will let you use that 14 roll for a fort save to be sickened next round.

Plus if you can hit the thing next round I'll allow you to keep that shocking grasp damage cus...Wow.

Shorsha your up please.

Sorsha flanks Nilus new friend.

Attack1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 for 1d3 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (6, 1) = 9 whiff damage
Attack2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 for 1d3 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (4, 1) = 9 whiff damage

Oh well :)

Xeno you can not attack this round as you failed your Fort Save.

I will let you use that 14 roll for a fort save to be sickened next round.

Sorry misread the post about effects, thank you.

Sorsha Makes an acrobatics check to move to get into flanking with Nilus.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 She tumbles past the slow moving blob creature with ease.

She only gets one attack off and it still misses. (Map Updated)

All 5 Blobs step up and attack.

1 Attacks Garrand: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16..Miss
2 Attacks Xeno: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14..Miss
3 With Sorsha not in sight anymore he steps up and attacks Nilus with flanking: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17..Miss
4 Attacks Nilus with Flanking: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17..Miss
5 Attacks the poor NPC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15..Hit 1d4 ⇒ 3

Round 2 Starts. Everyone can act. Everyone except Shorsha has a -2 to attack and skills.

Sorsha gets all stabbity on her new fiend.

Attack1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 for1d3 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (1, 6) = 11 damage
Attack2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 for1d3 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (2, 3) = 8 damage

Yay!

Sorsha hits #4 for 9 total. #4 9/15

It feels like you are stabbing gritty pudding...

Nilus snarls and attacks 4 with a vengeance
Lumpy skins sacks of manure!
PW Morningstar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 PW Shield Spikes: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Spikes: 1d4 + 3 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 3 - 5 = 1

Garrand takes a 5'step and casts glitterdust (DC15 will neg)

the spell has 10' radius area of effect. I think I should be able to catch #1 and #2 without hitting any party members but I'll trust the GM to figure out the best placement.

Xeno moves forward and slaps the blob in front of her with her blade to release to Shocking grasp
Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 - 2 = 18
0 real damage 22 Shocking grasp damage
