Seeing Indeo reaction and the smell from the room, Colyne moves into the doorway. Spotting the lizard creatures he throws his ax at the closest one.
Attack(Range): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

He then readies another ax and take a step into the room.

Colyne you can only take one move action and standerd action. Also you have to make your save once you move right before the door or forward due to the stench. Both trogs are side by side by the way. Also the range on your throwing axe is 10 ft. while scar is 30 ft. from the trogs so you would have to move forward by at least 20ft. from where you started.

Ok...thanks for the clarification DM.

Save-Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Move action: Move into the room (30ft)
Standard Action: Attack Trog#1
Melee Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Melee Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Melee Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Melee Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Ok...I think that takes care of me...lol

Skaar will attack Trog1, he will attempt to position himself so as to flank Trog1.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Colyne, I think you need to confirm a crit with your natural 19 roll - check this, but unless you have a weapon with a crit only on a 20, then your first hit should have a crit chance. If so, then make another attack roll, if it is a hit, then you do your weapons crit multiplier as extra damage, including strength bonus. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.
______________________

Slightly out of order - but since Deslin is between Skaar and me I will post my turn as well.
______________________

I will shoot my readied crossbow at Trog 2 who is not being attacked by Skaar/Colyne - so as to avoid the -4 for shooting into combat.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage:1d8 ⇒ 6

A hand ax is a crit of 20...believe me I checked LOL

A hand ax is a crit of 20...believe me I checked LOL

Yep - noticed that afterwards, we need to find you better two handed fighting weapons so that you get 19-20 crits -- Skaar's Scimitar is 18-20 which is huge.

Deslin shoots his bow at the troglodyte not engaged in melee
[ooc]Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage 1d4 ⇒ 3

My action/rolls are above in the same power with Skaar's.

I am still holding action until someone gets hit

The two warriors tear the lizard like creature between them to pieces. The other one flees for the eastern door after getting peppered by arrows.

Trog 1 is dead, Scar gets an AoO. Btw unless you identify the monsters I will never use their name IC. ;)

Seeing the trog turning to flee and knowing that the party is ill-equipped to deal with reinforcements, Scaar swings out with his wickedly curved scimitar.
Scaar's AoO: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Damage:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

The paladin's attack lands but the creature makes its escape none the less. The party is now left with a dead body and lingering questions.

End of Combat. There are two doors, one in the east where the trog escaped, the other in the southeast.

Is everyone ok? That went much better than our previous encounters.
I go over and retrieve my bolt and Deslin's arrow which I hand to him.

I say we follow that monster, we hurt it bad, and I see no reason to leave it to heal and then come for revenge. Anyone have another idea?

I think I will go ahead and use that channeling I rolled earlier. I believe that brings colyne up to full so we should be good to go.

Either way is fine by me. The way it fled looks like our best route forwards.

Edit - As everyone files out I'll take a second to search the dead critter.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

As everyone files out I'll take the opportunity to search the corpse.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Watching the one lizard-like creature escape out the door, Colyne agrees that we should follow it and make sure it does not come back to harm the group later.
"Thanks Indeo for the healing, I feel much better now. Let us go after that beast and make sure it does not bother us again! That said, Colyne moves over to the open door the monster flew out of and look into the next room.

Nngara glances at the apparently comatose halfling, pokes him once or twice with her bolt, then goes back to filing her nails while waiting.

Deslin shakes his head as if releasing himself of a bad memory.
Sorry guys, the smell just brought me... Hey Colyne! Wait a second! Don't you know the Brevoyan saying?
If you look behind your door
you won't find anything
if you enter without care
an enormous boulder will crush your bones
Although it loses part of its poetry once translated
He moves towards the door an searchs it for traps Let me take a look
Perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Sorry but I am going to crack a rib so I will point this out just once. Your inside an armory, which you have not searched at all for loot. Hello! :P

I guess I'll get this started

Perception roll to find stuff1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Appraise roll to pick out the good stuff 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 2 = 16

Something shiny catches the dwarf's trained eye

"Hmm, some of this might be useful guys"

Appraise DC 20 to pick out whats still useful among the old arms.

Couple of successful Aid Another's should get us there

Colyne, Nngara, what do you two make of these pieces, worth much?

Nngara looks at the old arms and armor.

Appraise: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Hmmm, some of this actually still looks good.

"Well I am not very good at appraising, I will have a look and see." Colyne walks over to the dwarf and examines the items he is shown. "But what about the trog? Should we not keep an eye out for it?'

Appraise: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

You manage to find a number of items. A masterwork silver dagger, a masterwork light steel shield emblazoned with a leaping dolphin, and a banner depicting a bird made of living flame.

You can make a knowledge (local) DC 20 check on the banner for more information on it.

Detect Magic on everything discovered.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

No Knowledge(local) here.

"Well lookee here! A shield, and in pretty good shape too! Well who would like this?" Collyn asks. He keeps his eye on the open doorway that the trog escaped through, wary that it may have been running to get help.

Sorry no knowledge local here either.

Let me have a look at that
Knowledge: Local 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Nope, doesn't ring any bell

Swag added to my profile under "Phat Lewt" No Local Smarts for me niether.

Guess we'll find someone to identify this junk when we get back.

He stuffs the swords into his pack and looks around the room one last time.

Where'd that lizard critter go, we've got a score to settle.

The door the lizard creature went thru turns out to be the same staircase you encountered below. While it is still blocked below it is clear to move upwards to the next level.

Their is a unexplored room to the south on this level, or you can take the stairs and move to the 3rd, 4th, or 5th floor.

Leave no stone unturned I say

Indeo cocks his head toward the unexplored room to the south

Skaar says: I am not a fan of being attacked from behind. My vote is south. and he starts heading toward the south door, only waiting for Deslin to check for traps.

And once again, let's make sure we don't get killed says Deslin as he searches for traps
Perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

If there are no traps, Skaar will carefully open the door - remembering the welcome he got on the last one.

Nngaga is ready with her crossbow should anything be standing directly behind the door or coming through the door. She is well back from the door though.

Colyne follows the others to the south door, his axes ready. "Maybe I should be up there with Scar...just in case there is another trog or such waiting!"

Deslin does not seem to find any traps upon the door.

Anyone can make a survival DC 15 check if they want before entering the south room.

Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Nope....not me..lol

Skaar survival: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

survival 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

My survival check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11 --> Woohoo - we are all going to die!!!

Survival 1d20 ⇒ 20
Wait guys, there's something odd here

Deslin notices that their are a number of faint lizard like tracks before the door.

There are several tracks here says Deslin pointing at them They see, like lizard ones... we should be extra careful

Maybe I should come up closer to the front. My armor will make me a better meat shield I bet.

Indeo comes even with Colyne "Come brother, let us meet these foes head on"

At that he opens the door and follows Colyne into the room.

Hey...'and follows Colyne into the room'.?!!?..who said I went in..lol

Moving with the dwarf, Colyne steps into the room, and quickly surveys the area.

Colyne lands on a trap right after he passes the door. Something shoots out with great speed. Scar for some reason raced forward to take the hit. The spear finds a weak point in his armor and he is run thru.

Skaar gets up: Don't worry, but a flesh wound. Said with a stylin' English accent

Indeo tries his best to restrain the lizardman from a headlong charge knowing that he's already injured.

"Skarr wait!"

Skarr responds through gritted teath

"THIS EVIL MUST. BE. DESTROYED!"

He shrugs off the clerics touch...

Darn it, Scar! cries Deslins with tears running down his face I shall tell the world of our heroics in an epic ballad

Colyne looks down at the remains of the lizard-paladin and feels a lump grow in his throat. He saved me by sacrificing himself. I shall never forget this Scar!, he thinks to himself. He reaches down and removes the holy symbol from around Scar's neck, and slips it over his own head. "I shall return this holy symbol to the church when we return, and tell them of Scar's bravery"
