DM-Camris' IRON GODS Part 1: The Fires of Creation (Inactive)

Game Master Camris

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Lilly turns around to glare at Flynn. "Your purpose here isn't in question, good sir. It's your strange attitude. Please take things a bit more seriously, will you?" All the while, she continues to step forward...

"My additude!? I----"

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Flynn grabs the back of Lilly's armor and pulls her back.

"Wait! Back up! Back up! That slime is on bodies and it's about to jump your way! I got my torch---doc you got any more of that fire stuff!?"

"Look it's quivering and bending towards us. What kind of modk is that!?"

Flynn readies a flask of oil.

"Doc - blow it up - blow it up!"

Elise was pretty sure her magics couldn't affect mold either, so she simply keeps her spear ready.

"This is what we get for not bringing an elf or willing type along with us to identify all this flora and fauna stuff. It would be pretty amazballs if we could get further in than the foyer. Okay let me take a look here. . . "

"Yeap. That's mold alright. Thanks doc for getting those glow glands, that was sarcasm by the way. I am guessing this stuff is flammable, because it was burned back behind us. We gonna set this stuff on fire? It might use up our air."

"Or Celest, is this part of your lean and green diet? Freegianism is really all the rage in Absalom right now."

As the party passes

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

"I guess they're trapped]/i[..." Celest says in a rather loud whisper. [i]"Box-man."

She holds her ground waiting for some one to bring the fire.

"Uh-no, they are covered by hominid aggressive mold."

"Uh-no, they are covered by hominid aggressive mold."

"You know these things? Why am I not surprised."

"No, I can see what it is and it's NOT edible!"

Lilly looks sharply at Flynn as he tugs her back, but complies. As he points out the mold's movement, she grimaces, adding her voice to the others. "Fire would be great, yes."

"Come on Doc we can't ad-lib here forever!"

"Yes, yes; keep your pants on." Replied Doctor Rhaym testily.
Precisely popping open a small bottle and dropping a catalyst tab in, he gives it a sharp shake and tosses it onto the nearest pile starting to wobble and move.
It explodes in a satisfying 'whump' and burst of flame, and there is nothing left but a blackened char in that area.

Unfortunately, this seemed to start several other slimes into motion, and they slide towards you!

Round 1____________

TACTICAL SITUATION

stab number 3 (?): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
If it drops she takes it's position. Otherwise she moves to D6.

Lilly hisses as she feels the sting of the acid on her skin, noticing Celeste trying to move tactically. She waits for the smaller woman to make her move, then slashes her sword across at number 5.

Longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 +2 with flank
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

+2 with flank

Alas, they may be immune to that--AND sneak attacks, a problem for Celest. If only there were some fire beetles about to eat this stuff. ;)

"These molds also seem to be unintelligent and immune to my magics. Well, time for the pointy stick of victory!" The psychic steps forward and tries to imitate her heroics from last time. Longspearl: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7; Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1 But she's just lucky she doesn't stab anyone else!

Flynn flings oil on the closest mold then moves to the right and down the line to get out of harms way.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

"Be careful with your weapons, I am not sure they are going to do any good."

Rhaym stepped forward.
"Save your fire boy! Weapons will do fine!"
quarterstaff attack: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4 but missed.

"Nice one, Celest!" cheers Elise as the mold in front of her is cut down. Elise moves up slightly and tries to stab another one. Attack vs #5: 1d20 ⇒ 6; Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3. Swing and a miss!

Round 3____________

Players take their turn in order of posting, Enemies will go last.

TACTICAL SITUATION

Lilly grimaces as the creature does not fall, then lashes out at the thing again. If she drops the creature, she takes a step to her left (right on the map), hoping to set up a flank with another party member to finish off the remaining enemy.

Longsword vs 4: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Rhaym_____
Rhaym swung his staff and caught the last slime, which splattered under his force.

The Battle is over.

A quick look at the awful remains verifies that the bodies under the slimes had been looted of anything valuable.

"Well. That wasn't so bad." Rhaym said, breathing heavily in the humid air.
Then he noticed the acid spatters on his nice clothes, and swore aloud.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Lilly breathes heavily after the battle, looking towards Celeste. "You're hurt, badly." She walks over, calling upon Iomedae's grace, and healing energy is transferred to the young rogue.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"And once again we are barely past the front door of this place . . . There has to be some valuable stuff in here. There' gotta be."

Flynn pulls out what looks to be a drum stick and starts probing the three former adventures for anything useful left on them.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Elise tries to help Flynn if she can. Aid Another (perception): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6. But she just seems to be getting in the way. "There's probably nothing left on these adventurers," she says, discouraged.

Perception (search): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Lilly breathes heavily after the battle, looking towards Celeste. "You're hurt, badly." She walks over, calling upon Iomedae's grace, and healing energy is transferred to the young rogue.

CLW 5

"Ouch, ouch, ouch cure light wounds... hcuo? Oh hey, that is better."

Lilly gives Celeste a level look as she notices the woman attempting to slip the gemstone into a pocket. "Thanks for holding onto that for us."

Lilly gives Celeste a level look as she notices the woman attempting to slip the gemstone into a pocket. "Thanks for holding onto that for us."

"No problem!"

Doctor Rhaym looked around.
"Is anyone still injured?" He asked, holding a healing potion.

"If not, let's proceed."
He folded up his valise and continued slogging through the oddly warm water.

Knee deep in the water, you warily walk through the darkened caves under the hill, your lights creating flickering shadows that seem to move on their own.

Another of those damned headaches strikes you, debilitating you for more than a minute before it fades again.
Recovering, you continue on.

After squeezing through a narrow space, you come to a more open area.
A dark cavern opens up here, its twenty-foot-high ceiling thick with stalactites.
A rocky shore overlooks a placid pool and stream, fed by a trickle of water leaking from a narrow fissure to the north. A small garden of toadstools and dark mold grows along the banks.
You see what looks like a dead body lying half in and out of the pool.

OVERVIEW MAP

Enter as you wish, you enter at (B,6).
The grid is 10 feet square, labeled every 5 feet.

Seeing yet another body lying somewhat in the water, Lilly's heart sinks. She had had hopes of bringing back at least some survivors, but that prospect was looking more and more grim by the moment. She makes directly for the body, keeping her eyes open for whatever might have caused the body in the first place.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Celest follows along behind, knife at the ready.

From C,10

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

"Eh, dead alright."

Not seeing any other obvious dangers, Flynn slowly move to within 5 ft of the body.

Notorious Flynn Ryder__________
"Eh, dead alright."
Flynn slowly move to within 5 ft of the body.

As you approach the body, you all hear a deep throated and threatening rumbling.
Looking northwest, you see a short, stocky humanoid with webbed feet, claws, an enormous mouth and throat. The frog like creature has glowing white eyes. You get a glimpse of something branded in the creatures side just before the eyes flash blindingly white.
Flynn, Lily, Celeste and Rhaym must make a DC 13 Fort save or be blind for 1 hour.
