Yes, please assume he detects evil in all rooms.

Nemoris won't be firing in the surprise round, fyi.
Yeah, I just put it all in one to avoid too much clutter, was hoping I'd get lucky, but doubted an 18 would come up for me :)
Everyone but Dalamus is shocked by the appearance of the elemental which unfortunately for the rogue is quicker than him and spins into a whirlwind, moving onto Nowzai who someone escapes the damage of flying depris but gets sucked up into the cloud spinning around a few feet off the ground es by gritting his teeth and holding his ground.
The whirlwind's spinning on the floor kicks up a huge cloud of debris causing serious visibility issues (inside the circle is 5'vis only; inside circle has 20% concealment within 5 feet of anyone else. Total concealment (50% miss chance) for any outside of 10 feet). DC 15+spell level concentration check to cast inside debris field.
Dalamus draws his bow and takes aim, realizing he's right next to the creature and Nowzai is in the whirlwind now.
Malcolm recovers first and tosses a dagger into the whirlwind causing minimal damage. Magma yells at Nowzai and wades into combat swinging his axe strong and is rewarded with a feeling of tearing through something solid and a sound like air escaping a bellows.
The whirlwind rolls over the rest of the party slamming party members into each other and sucking up Magma and Epik into the cloud.

Round 1
Nowzai, spinning in the whirlwind and trying not to lose his dinner, throws out an acid bolt at the elemental holding him.
Dalamus will change his action, and instead try to grab one of the closest guys in the whirlwind. Assuming acrobatics, but if not I will reroll
Epik attacks the elemental the best he can while spinning.
Attack: Damage:
Dalamus leaps up and grabs Epik and pops him free from the whirlwind. Epik turns and strikes at the elemental and nicks it on the side. Nemoris steps back and fires into the creature, staying his second shot as the whirlwind dissipates with the sound of a balloon releasing its air culminating with a resounding pop.
Nowzai and Magma are unceremoniously dumped on the ground.
A thorough search of the bookcase turns up a plethora of books in various languages with a common theme of mysteries, puzzles, and unexplained events. Scrolls on the desk contain partial histories on creatures called kopru who apparently built the ruins you are currently in. Nowzai believes this collection would have value to the right buyer.
The door to the north is magically locked and magically trapped.
Nemoris miss chances
Nowzai Acrobatics DC15 or take
Magma Acrobatics DC15 or take
Dalamus leaps up and grabs 1d3 Epik and pops him free from the whirlwind. Epik turns and strikes at the elemental and nicks it on the side. Nemoris steps back and fires into the creature, staying his second shot as the whirlwind dissipates with the sound of a balloon releasing its air culminating with a resounding pop.

Acrobatics check
if i can use the boots or -1 if i can't the total is 13 for the acrobatics check
No chance to catch them. Magma, boots were already determined to be yours. Good.
Dalamus can you bypass the lock and trap?.
Elder are you alright?
Can we fit the Books and Scrolls into the bag of holding without ripping it?
Nowzai crashes to the floor unceremoniously, shouting out in pain and embarrasment. He slowly stands, wincing in pain while rubbing his arm. "I... live, but I could use some healing." He eyes Epik expectantly.
I am going to check the door across from the Barrels in the Storeroom and then search that room.
i would like to sweep the passage way again along with rooms to make sure there are no hiding kobolds. that way we will have a escape route if the talking webs goes bad.
Perception check Door storeroom
Room Search
Storage room
Guardroom
Mess Hall
Barracks
Passage way
Okay i am ready for the talking webs
When we are ready for the Talking Webs:
i will make ready 3 torches to light so that we can burn the webs.
It may not be a bad idea to rest up at some point in the very near future as well. I'm not completely healthy, and we all look like we could use a bit of time.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
yes the west one
I asked Dalamus to check the door to see if he could open it
Epik heals Nowzai (1 LOH):
"Thank you, sir," Nowzai says to Epik. Still wounded, he also quaffs a healing potion.
Dalamus takes a stab at the trap, nicking a couple lines and redrawing symbols with some silver dust he pulls out of a pocket.
With a grin, he looks up and says, "No problem!" and starts on the lock,
"Who made this stuff, an amateur?" the half-elf grins as he pushes the door open dramatically.
Inside, the room is cool, dry, and comfortable. A bed sits against the north wall, and a thick carpet covers most of the floor. More bookshelves line the walls here, their shelves sagging with books, tomes, and scrolls of all shapes and sizes.
The walls of this room are loaded with weapon and armor racks. Swords and bows hang from pegs and a dozen suits of armor hang on the far wall. A barrel of arrows and 2 small wooden kegs sit behind the armor stands. All weapons and armor are small-sized.
The voice replies to Nowzai
Dalamus will go to the bucket of arrows, and grab some. He will keep watching around, after hearing some weird language.
How many arrows are here, Dalamus is down to 4, so he needs to resupply.
There are a couple hundred arrows
Dalamus takes a stab at the trap, nicking a couple lines and redrawing symbols with some silver dust he pulls out of a pocket.
1d20+19

I will search the Room after Dalamus opens the door or will assist Dalamus searching the room
Perception
Epik will explore the three sources of evil within the Mess Hall, alerting the others of their presence.
Learning from the last room, Nowzai proceeds carefully forward, waiting for the others to clear any potential traps before diving in.
*
With a concentrated search of the room, Dalamus and the others find a fals e back to the booksheld. The erstwhile rogue also finds another magical trap exactly like the other one and takes a stab at removing it.
Overconfident from the last trap, the half-elf sets this one off and a magical dark brown-grey snake rears out of the bookcase striking at him. Quick normally, the rogue barely moves, stunned by his failure. As the snake strikes him, it disappears in a puff of brown smoke and Dalamus freezes, encased in a shimmering amber light.
Reflex save
His actions do open the false door, and inside you find a magical wand in immaculate condition, made of a blue-green wood intricately carved with waves along the side. Next to it is a spellbook with a symbol of an eye in the palm of a left hand on the front.
I will explore the wizard's books and scrolls. Anything of interest or area of study?
I am looking for anything on the cult that my sister has joined.
Yes, Epik will explore the area north of the Storeroom.
"Oh my... this spell trap will keep Dalamus in stasis for several days. Hmmm," Nowzai pauses to ponder the problem.
When the door opens, Nowzai will cast detect magic and investigate the wand.
His eyes widen as he realizes what he holds. "This is a wand of control water," he tells the others. "And that is a symbol of Vecna, he adds with a notable mixture of disdain and curiousity."
Nowzai nods and turns to the group. "The leader of the spiders makes us an offer. Apparently this red-haired woman we're tracking has taken control of the kobolds, and the spiders want her dead. The spiders offer a guide to lead us past the traps and to her room. We bring back proof of her death, and they give us a wand. They also mention one of our 'friends' they have captive, who they'll release if we leave the elites alive." Nowzai shrugs. "This may be an advantage for us, as long as we remain cautious. Thoughts?"
Malcolm rifles through the books in the Parlor and the bedroom, but they are all centered around magical research, mystical phenomenons and puzzle-solving. There's also an entire bookcase dedicated to prophecy, foretelling, omens and other divinations. One book does seem out of place and it's a history of the halfling people in the local area. It seems a little more soiled than the other books which are painstakingly immaculate.
The spellbook contains the following spells: all cantrips from PHB except daze, 1st:burning hands, chill touch, comprehend languages, hold portal, magic missile, true strike, alarm, detect secret doors, detect undead, identify, mage armor, silent image, unseen servant 2nd:detect thoughts, ghoul touch, invisibility, scorching ray, see invisibility, arcane lock, blindness/deafness, blur, locate object, scare, spider climb, summon monster II, whispering wind 3rd: displacement, lightning bolt, vampiric touch, dispel magic, gentle repose, sepia snake sigil, tongues, water breathing 4th: arcane eye, phantasmal killer, shout, fear, locate creature, scrying
Nowzai frowns, "It seems this magic is too powerful for me to dispel. We can either wait out the spell's duration, which could be days, or the caster can release them at command."
Dalamus says "..........."
"Would captured and alive suit the spider? I am not sure but I thought the city guard wanted us to bring her in alive if possible.
"I would also like to add that I hate spiders, and going along with anything a talking spider says sounds like an awful idea, but pro's vs cons, having them help us the pros seem to out weigh the cons. Can he stop the elites from attacking us? Otherwise we will have to do what we have to do to survive."
Yes, actually Dalamus has something he would like to add
".........."
Nowzai nods and turns to the group. "The leader of the spiders makes us an offer. Apparently this red-haired woman we're tracking has taken control of the kobolds, and the spiders want her dead. The spiders offer a guide to lead us past the traps and to her room. We bring back proof of her death, and they give us a wand.

Concur with following the spiders.
