DM-Camris' WRATH of the RIGHTEOUS Part 1: The Worldwound Gambit (table 3) (Inactive)

Game Master Camris

Kankai felt satisfaction as the tiefling fell. Shifting her attention to #5 she would move to him quickly, her sword held tughtly in her hands as she stabbed it into the tieflings chest.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Dmg: 1d8 + 3 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 3 + (3, 5) = 21

'Blade, I believe you and me are getting along just fine.'

Round 3______________________

Alorah_____
Stepping up beside Thetin, Alorah brings her Cold Iron mace slamming into the demon at the top of the stairs
And Tiefling 1 is down.

Kelden Sunblade_____
He felt for a moment very childish as he stuck his tongue out at the Tiefling who struck Kyra. It was the same tiefling who had tried to assault him but the magic held him from such things. He removed the cure light wounds wand and elegantly used its magics to heal he attack done to her.
“Drop your weapons and you may yet live,” He offered though he was sure they would spit the offer back at him.
And he’s right, as they scream their vile battle cries and continue their attacks.
Kyra is healed 3.

Carilain Riveroak_____
With Tiefling 1 down, Carilain refocused on Tiefling 2.
Grimstar finds a chink in the half-whatever's armor and tastes blood.
And Carilain thrusts Grimstar halfway through Tiefling 2, who goes down.

Thetin Dorvas_____
With Tiefling 1 down, Thetin moved up to attack Tiefling 5. But he missed.

Kankai the White______
Kankai felt satisfaction as the tiefling fell. Shifting her attention to #5 she would move to him quickly, her sword held tughtly in her hands as she stabbed it into the tieflings chest.
And Kankai’s blade passed through Tiefling 5 like a hot knife through butter. He collapsed.

This battle is over.

A quick search reveals:
six sets of studded leather armor in the Deskari insectoid uniform style,
six shortswords,
six daggers
two light crossbows,
four shortspears,
122 crowns worth of assorted coinage.

SECOND FLOOR OVERVIEW

So, what are you doing now?

"Let's gather all gear and stash it in one of these rooms we are sure they are empty. I suggest we start with the two rooms other here at the dead-end of the hallway?" She points to the doors to their right.

I'm assuming that the hallway on the right side of the map is a dead-end? If not, then we may want to adjust our approach.

"We should check these three doors around the staircase first." Carilain points to the door on the north wall, nearest the stairs. (Door at K-6.) "We need to keep our lines of retreat open as much as we can."

"Sounds like as good a plan as any." Alorah replies gripping her weapon.

"well then let's see what is behind door number one." Thetin moves in and opens the door across from the stairs. moves to open door at G9

I'm assuming that the hallway on the right side of the map is a dead-end?

Yes it is. The map got cut off on the right side, though you can see the rest of it if you scroll the map down.

Thetin finds that the door at G9 is solidly locked, with nothing but a keyhole on this side.

Kankai would move forward at seeing them getting stymied by the door. She ruffled her feathers as she listened for noise on the other side of the door and checked for any traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Once done checking she put away her blade and pulled out her tools getting to work.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Kankai hears nothing on the other side of the door.
Despite her efforts, Kankai is frustrated by the excellence of this lock.

Carilain, over by the door at (K,6), felt a breeze behind him. He turned to find the door open and a Cultist of Deskari staring at him with astonishment.
You can see his uniform carries more in the way of rank than you have seen so far, and over his shoulder you can see several others around a table strewn with papers. Maps, tallies and force projections are pinned to the walls.

Cultist Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Heroes Initiative (avg): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

TACTICAL OVERVIEW

Carilain brings forth a pinch of earth from his component pouch. Quickly, then, he utters the draconic words while he gestures with his free hand. Grimstar shimmers, now coated with some sort of brown fluid.
The elf then strikes the surprised cultist, devivering the power of his spell through the blade of his sword.

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 damage, Elemental touch: 1d6 ⇒ 2 +1 point ongoing acid damage. DC 15 Fort save or be sickened for 1 round.

Kelden moved forward quickly unsheathing his scimitar and standing just outside the cultist's reach. He had no doubts that someone more skilled in attacking would be better served moving closer, he just wanted to perhaps goad the cultists to focus on him.

In the name of Sarenrae you will be struck down unless you repent now!

He called out brandishing his scimitar in a display of prowess hopefully

Kankai drew her weapon as she moved heading towards I-11 since she would just be short of I-10.

"Put the corrupters down, that we may cleanse this place!" Alorah shouts out, her words washing over her companions, kindling their fervor.

Red 12 attack vs Kyra: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 for a possible 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 slashing damage.

And the last cultist goes down under your blades screaming defiance to the last.

When you have a chance to catch your breath, you can only stare at the stacks of scrolls, books, maps, and more that sit atop a large hexagonal table in this room.
The walls are painted with detailed maps of Sarkoris, over which features of the Worldwound have been painted.

Welcome back, Camris! I hope you had a great time on your vacation.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Kyra quickly cleans the blood from her weapon as the last cultist falls to her blade. She looks around the room in awe, feeling a little overwhelmed by all the information before them. "Is anyone able to decipher all of this? I imagine it Irabeth would be glad for all this intelligence, but... How do we know what is what?" She looks to the others for direction. While waiting for an answer, she casts Detect Magic and looks around the room for any magical auras.

"We should finish clearing the building, before we get distracted, going over all these references."

Carilain, too activates the spell that allows him to see magic auras, then makes a quick search of the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

The elf pauses. "Ah,ha! What's this?" The elf pulls a scroll out from under a stack of papers and other scrolls. Carilain reaches into his component pouch and pulls out a clear crystal prism. Laying the scroll on the table he makes the arcane gestures while speaking the words of his spell. Then he has a look at the scroll. After a minute he rolls the scroll back up, handing it to Kelden. "Restoration. that's your school, right?"

Cast detect magic, then read magic to decipher the scroll.

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

It is indeed something I can cast. Useful too in the wrong circumstances. Who is wounded, the wand still has some charges left.

He asked generally taking a quick view of his companions and looking for their hurts already moving towards Kyra.

Kankai would look it all over. "Let's gather it all and take it to them."

Wand of CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 = 11

Kyra gladly takes a charge of the healing wand, sighing in relief as some of her wounds close. "Thank you, Kelden. Sounds like a good plan, Kankai. We should gather what we can for now, and then try to secure this room anyway we can."

Gathering all the papers and documents requires 22 boxes and weighs north of 1000 pounds

"We save this for later, lets finish clearing this place out. This is to much to look at."

Profession: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

In that case... we'll get it all later lol. Let's move on!

"We'd never be able to carry all this anyway. Better to take the fortress and the commanders can review it all at their leisure." Alorah agrees moving forward.

"Yup, time to move on." Carilain looks around the room for doorways, or hidden exits.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

If he does not find any, he heads out to the hallway.

charges of wand: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 2 = 10

Indeed my friends let us continue on, this place and our mission weighs heavier by the minute it seems.
