DM Dr Evil's ROTRL AE - Private Group (Inactive)

Game Master rpblue

"Well done. To the north then? Near that crazed horse?" Uirdir asks as he feels like he has become stronger from his experiences here.

"Indeed. It seems the only way left, now, Bruin says as he taps Beromar with his wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

"Ah. That's better. I couldn't see much of the fight, but it seems you all did a wonderful job."

A leg of one of the dead goblins twitches, unbeknownst to Bruin.

Alexei nods grimly at the suggestion to keep moving, taking his customary place at the rear of the group, keeping an arrow in hand for quick shooting should they run across more goblins.

Aye... as all ye sissiesis countin flowers guess I gots to lead the way... Beromar grumbles as he movesto inspect the next door.

Perception1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Area C24

This small, foul-smelling room features little more than a reeking hole in the ground, its rim stained with refuse and waste.

Bruin Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Bruin finds that the west wall of this nasty smelling room hides a secret door. Beyond is another small room, this one much less foul-smelling and containing a single extra-large sea chest with a heavy iron padlock.

Bruin Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

"Er, Viro, I think the chest is trapped. Could you give it a go to disable it?" Bruin asks.

Disable Device DC 22

"Sure! Put the one with lockpicks in danger," smirks Viro as he kneels down by the chest.

"All right, watch a professional at work, boys."

Disable Device+Trapfinding: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 2 = 14

Oops.

Nah boy ye doin it all wrong!

Aid another 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

One more succesful aid another would be good here...

Sorry, Bero, but you don't have a rank in disable device.

Trap vs. Viroleth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21; Hit!
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Fort. Save DC 14: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Viroleth is caught by surprise when a rusty blade of jagged metal springs out of the chest's lid, slashing his hand.

Well, at least you're not getting Tetanus. Oh, and the chest is open now.

#loot
• 7,432cp
• 2,490sp
• 89gp
• 3pp
• 34 badly flawed malachites (appraise needed)
• medium chain shirt
• medium mwk scimitar
• gold holy symbol of Sarenrae (appraise needed)
• jade necklace (appraise needed)
• fine blue silk gown with silver trim (appraise needed)

Also, I rolled a 1.

Viro yelps as his hand is slashed. He looks in horror at the bleeding wound before sighing and going through the loot, trying not to get any blood on anything.

"Shut up. Ow. Ow. Ow."

Appraise Malachites: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Appraise Symbol: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Appraise Gown: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Appraise Malachites: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Appraise Holy Symbol: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Appraise Necklace: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Appraise Gown: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Uirdir sees the blade shove into Viroleth's hand and grimaces. "Perhaps you should check for such things in the future." he says as he looks through the items as the group pulls them from the chest.

Bruin pulls out his wand and heals the rogue.

"You need to be more careful, Viro. That cut could have been a lot worse."

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Appraise vs. malachites: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Appraise vs. holy symbol: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Appraise vs. jade necklace: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Appraise vs. gown: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Ok, that's the holy symbol, jade necklace and gown, successfully appraised so far. Still need the malachites.

#loot
• gold holy symbol = 100gp
• jade necklace = 60gp
• gown = 150gp

Appraise malachites: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Not really an expert in gem values, Alexei studies them carefully, seeing the flaw which run through each stone.

"Can't be worth much, but I don't know an exact amount," says the hunter carefully, shrugging. "These other things are likely more valuable. Wonder if anyone in town will buy them from us?"

I'll go ahead and roll Beromar's appraise, too.

Beromar Appraise: 1d20 ⇒ 12

#Loot
• malachites = 8sp each; 34 × 8sp = 272sp

"I much prefer selling them to leaving them in the hands of goblins. The chest is a bit too cumbersome to lug around with us though. Better, I think, that we close this door and come back for it later."

Viro nods once.

"Frankly, that dress wouldn't look good on any of us. Well, maybe Beromar. Let's move on."

"Perhaps we could give it to Ameiko. I've discovered it's always a good idea to be on the good side of anyone who prepares your meals."

Oh, right, yeah, the trap was worth 800XP. Almost forgot that. Anyways, that's 160XP for each player, bringing everyone to 6,222XP.

If anybody has any last second stuff they want to do before we move onto the next level of the dungeon, now's the time to speak up.

Okay, this is the new map for the next level of the dungeon.

If everyone could check that it works, that'd be great.

Area D1

After securing the chest, the heroes make their way down the steps.

A single lantern hangs from a hook on the wall next to where the stairs enter this room from the north. Several rickety doors open into this room, and a few discarded dog pelt rugs lie forgotten in the northeast corner.

Not much here. Just going to give some time for everyone to do any last second prep stuff. We'll move forward tomorrow.

Uirdir keeps his rapier at the ready as they descend. Upon sight of of the dog pelts, the elf uses the tip of his sword to scout through the ghastly skins.

"Anyone see anymore of those pesky buggers?" he asks.

While the group gathers and decides where to go, Alexei prods around in the dog skins just on the off-chance there is something to see there.

Perception, if needed: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

MAp works. Not much I can prep cause I don't think my newly learned skill in casting magic stuff is already applicable. As this looks like the big boss fight which of you pesky spell casters is most interested in Beromar's gratuit protection services.

That door young one... and don't make a mess of it again or you be wearing a shiny dress on ye funeral!

Beromar points to the southern door with stern resolve.

Alexei hears something faint coming from one of the doors. He puts his ear next to it and immediately regrets the decision as he identifies what can only be described as fervent goblin-lovemaking.

Alexei shares the news of an unfortunate coupling from behind the appropriate door. "Since we're here to clear goblins, I suppose we better go and end whatever's making that sound."

He readies his bow, nocking an arrow to the string, ready to fire if someone opens the door.

Viro looks green as he stares at Alexei, before shrugging once.

"Well, go out with a smile."

He quickly checks over the door before opening it, provided there are no traps.

Perception+Trapfinding: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 20

Alexei, when you can, please add the new dungeon map to the campaign tags.

Viroleth doesn't sense any traps, but just as he's about to open the door, Bruin stops him.

"Let me," he whispers. "That way you can get the jump on him."

Bruin moves into position by the door. His face curls up in disgust at the particularly enthusiastic sounds coming from the other side.

He mouths to the others, "One. Two. Three!"

And with that the halfling throws open the door.

Rolling initiative momentarily. I'm going to treat this as a surprise round.

Area D2

Dozens of ratty cushions, lumpy pillows, and rumpled dogskin furs lie heaped in the south half of this chamber, which smells of a nauseating mixture of vinegar and rotten flowers.

And inside you find a naked bugbear, having his way with three delighted goblinesses.

Surprise Round

Bruin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Uirdir: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Beromar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Viroleth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Alexei: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Everybody is up.

Bruin grants the blessing of his goddess on Viroleth, while trying desperately not to look inside.

Bit of Luck 2/6 left. Viro gets advantage on attacks this round. the bugbear is considered flat-footed this round.

Uirdir chuckles. "Looks like we caught the beast with his pants down..." the elf says as he flourishes his rapier.

He will let Alexei, Viroleth and Beromar storm the small room before deciding on his course of action.

Viro stares in absolute horror at the bugbear and his lovely vixens.

"I... what.. I ca... no. That's not poss... WITH A MELON?! That's it! This sort of evil can't stand!"

Viro waggles his sword at the bugbear.

"Well... stand up! I ... this is unsporting. I can't handle htis."

Viro is holding while he tries to comprehend the situation.

Sorry for holding up the game thought I had posted here two days ago...

Beromar can't see anything and waits till the goblin scum come at them.

Ready attack against first foe in sight1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 Damage 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 1) + 10 = 16
AoO 1 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 Damage 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 5) + 10 = 20

AoO 3 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 Damage 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (4, 1) + 10 = 15

I'll bot Alexei to get things moving.

Alexei looks disgusted as he draws back his bow and open fire on the naked Bugbear holding a precariously-placed melon.

Alexei longbow vs. Bugbear: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The bugbear is too stunned to react right away, but his goblin harem more than make up for his ferocity. The first goblin is immediately sliced in half by Beromar. The second goblin evades Beromar's strike and takes a shot at Viroleth with her rusty blade. But the nimble rogue dodges it, without fail.

goblin vs. Viroleth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

That plugs up the door, so no more attacks.

Round 1

Goblin Harem: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Bruin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Uirdir: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Beromar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Viroleth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Alexei: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Bugbear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Viro, I understood that you were holding a ready attack. So you can do that before your turn. Everyone is up.

Bruin drops his crossbow, steps away from the naked, shrieking goblin woman. Draws his mace and attacks her. But his attack is dodged easily.

5-foot step and attack. Should really consider Weapon Finesse at some time.

Mace vs. Goblin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Side Note to Viroleth: You'll have the Bit of Luck bonus on your readied action, but not you Round 1 Action.

Attack+Bit of Luck: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Viro stabs out at the screaming, naked goblin. He then smoothly moves to the side, setting up a flank with Beromar before making absolutely sure the nasty little thing is dead.

Attack+flank: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 = 26 Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (4, 2) = 16
Attack+Flank: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14 Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 4 + (3, 3) = 15

Viroleth kills the goblin with a lucky stab.

Viroleth, you killed the goblin with your ready action. Also you can't five-foot step diagonally, so I moved you back to your original position. Interestingly enough, the Bugbear is flat-footed until his turn, so if you'd like you can move in and use your first attack roll to hit him.

Map link.

Round 1

AFter already scoring a hit with his first arrow, Alexei stands firm and firing another pair into the buck-naked bugbear.

Alexei longbow, PBS, Rapid 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Alexei longbow, PBS, Rapid 2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Dmg, two hits, PBS: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 8) + 6 = 17

PS: Map is now linked at top as well. Sorry for the delay!

With the goblin dead, Viro rushes in, stabbing out at the stunned bugbear instead.

I'll repurpose my first roll to hit the bugbear then.

Uirdir keeps himself ready for an assault from the bugbear if it chooses to leave the room. "Choosing to go one on two, Viro?" asks the elf to the short-sword wielder.

"Good luck!" he says with a bow as he keeps his guard up.

Rapier-Enemy enters threatened area: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Viroleth stabs the agape Bugbear right in the chest. It howls in rage and pain, but is then silenced a moment later by two arrows from Alexei. The brute falls dead at Viro's feet.

One naked, shrieking goblin left. Beromar is up.

"Well that was anti-climactic. Perhaps next time you should let it put pants on first." he remarks, jokingly, to Viroleth and Alexei.

Beromar steps into the chamber and whacks the remaining Goblin with his gloved fist.

Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Bodyguard will protect Viroleth 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

The golin ducks under Beromar's mighty fist. With a shriek she tries to stab the dwarf. But her attack is wild.

Goblin vs. Beromar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Round 2

Goblin Harem: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Bruin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Uirdir: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Beromar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Viroleth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Alexei: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Bold is up.

*tch* "Haven't handled this yet?" the elf asks, curious as to how the goblin is still alive. "I guess, I will put the wild beast down..." he says, moving in to spear the creature on his rapier.

Rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

And with a deft thrust, Uirdir ends the threat.

Combat over. That battle was worth 1,205 XP, leaving 241 XP for eac player. Players currently have 6,303 XP each.

#loot
• +1 arrows (x4) - need detect magic to identify
• potion of cure moderate wounds
• studded leather
• mwk composite longbow (+4)
• arrows (x20)
• 4 pp

"Well, that was awkward. Is everyone alright," Bruin asks as he recovers his crossbow.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Uirdir looks over the arrows with his discerning eye, trying to see if they might be helpful, as the rest of the party scavenges other items.

Once satisfied, the elf will move towards the door along the same wall. "I am fine. Surely the dwarf is find as well. Never seen such a stout person on two legs..." he says in a complimentary tone.

Viro looks over the dead naked goblinoids, shuddering once more.

"I really hope we don't have to do this often. I can't really spin this into a good heroic story."

Disinterested in the loot, he wanders back into the main room, listening to each doro in turn.

Taking 10 at each door for 16 perception.

Uirdir is disgusted when he senses the magic about the arrows. He identifies them as +1 Elf Bane Arrows.

Viroleth doesn't hear any signs of ::clears throat :: "activity" at the other doors.

I'll pick a route in a few moments.
