GM Raltus' - Slaying Giants

Game Master Raltus

Lanneth Ids all the items Will post in discussion, as Dain is going to gather the arrows he sees an excuisite looking bow on the ground behind a barrel. The Bow has no string on it at present but when he holds it up to Lanneth is detects as magical.

William looks the items over before removing his armor. "I feel magical all of a sudden. Does anyone need healing? I could set an alarm or start a fire. Even fix something that is broken. Otherwise, I could sing you a song to help with the resting."

This is an excellent bow! Dain will start restringing.

Even with everything laid out before her she finds nothing of interest for her. "Where is Ewigga? She wanted some of those too, right?" Yorikata tells looking out for the elf.

Ardashir stands at the side, waiting for orders what to do next.

Ewigga peeks over the edge. "I am here child but you are all crowding down there, I will wait till you come back up to go down and see what I may see." She smiles down.

Are you resting?

Let's head up and recover.

"That works. We can secure the area directly above us."

"In the middle of the thorny weeds? It's better than sleeping in this hole. But I'd prefer a less thorny place." Yorikata complains.

Where are you resting?

"Let us rest in the corridor between the brambles room and the flowery corridor. There are no plants and it also has doors that can be closed." Yorikata suggests.

Sounds good to me.

Let’s clear out the flowers before we rest.

Lanneth says as she joins the others.
I would hate for some magic in this place to bring the plants back to life.

"You burn them? Or what do you have in mind?" Yorikata asks.

I was thinking to dump them in that room..... She starts dragging some of the plants back to the room with the twig blights.

William helps the elder move plants.

"Classical weeding. How anticlimatic." Yorikata comments. She cuts the xtabays' stem just above the ground. She follows Lanneth dragging some along. There she plucks off the blossoms and stomps them until there is only a splat on the floor left.

As the party leaves the the stash, Ewigga goes down and moves around down there as the party moves on further. "I would like to spend some time down here looking at the documents if there are any." She smiles at you.

Do you bed down for a couple hours? You don't need a full 8 hours.

Sure, help yourself.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Yorikata wonders what share Ewigga wants to have.

"Someone taking watch? Or are we all sleeping, hoping we'd awake uneaten by plants?"

I will watch first.

"Wake me up when you are done."

Writings? There was nothing down there. Something is off, why does she want to be alone?

I can take last watch. Sleep with your weapons close. Nothing has been safe in this vault so far. Lanneth says as she lays out her bedroll.

So we have a a Big Tree Creature, Invisible attackers and She glances back where Ewigga went and continues softly. Possibly a druid to deal with. I'll have to see what spells you remember that will help with that.

After about 2 hours everyone feels rested, no need to wait 8 hours like you would outside of this odd Demi Plane. The men catch a quick nap while Lanneth and Yorikata work on spells for the day.

What is everyone doing? You know that the Tendriculious is in the room. The Lurkers in the Light you are not 100% sure on

Shall we just distract the Tendiwhatever and leave it to this place?

"I believe our work here is done. Leaving sounds like a good idea to me."

"Let's bag the stuff." Yorikata suggests. "Ewigga, have you found what you searched in the cache?"

Ewigga is no where to be seen, as far as you know she never left that room. All of you know except for Ardarshir about the Tendriculious in the next room.

How do you wish to proceed?

Yorikata grabs the rest of the items that no one has claimed yet and packs them on Ardashir to carry.

Is still everything there, or is something missing?

"This vault is cleared out and there are no druids left to take care of it. I'd like it very much to pay back this foul tree for trying to eat me, but it doesn't make a real difference."

"But I fear we are totally incapable to sneak past that thing. Last time we acted like a bunch of headleass chicken, when we tried that."

I think the wisest move isto create a distraction of some time that lures it away, and then all of us just run past the thing to the other door.

Or we figure out some way to get up high and then just continually burn it from range?

Perception Yori: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Yorikata notices nothing missing, everyone gets packed up, standing cramped in the small room where you found Ardashir no one makes a move to open the door despite knowing that you are safe in the hollowed out tree in the next room.

Lanneth? Can you use your magic to distract? Just long enough for us to run past.

"I can sneak past anyway. But another one of those mudballs might be helpful to create a window for the slow and clanking part of our group." Yorikata jokes.

It won't last long, so get ready.

When everyone is ready: Lanneth casts Mage Armor on herself and activates the flight hex on herself for 1 minute.
Then she cracks open the door and looks to make sure it is not right outside. If it isn't she creeps out and gets where she can see it. As soon as she has a good shot at the thing throws a mudball at the creature.

Stealth if needed: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

I assume that hits. Reflex DC16 at the start of it's turn or Use a standard action to end the effect for the monster.

Now! she yells as she starts to fly and stay out of the things reach.

Dain will run his little dwarf legs very fast.

Momma is energized with little rest. William makes a run for it beside Dain. "It can only eat one of us at time. I think..."

Dwarves taste horrible, so you will do fine.

Ardashir 'runs' along, blade in hand, just in case.

Yorikata turns into a fox and goes for a stealthy run a small distance away from the not so stealthy men.

Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34

Running for their Lives - Round 1 - Conditions: Undergrowth is rough terrain.
Party <---
Tendriculious

This will depend upon Lanneth's roll

Lanneth peaks out, seeing taking a quick second to look, she is unable to see the creature. Knowing that it hid before in the underbrush, Lanneth ducks back in to the room.

It didn't notice you but didn't see it stealthing either.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Lanneth sneaks back out looking for the creature and if it looks safe she flies carefully trying to stay hidden as much as she can.

Repeat, last post just being more observant.

Dain keeps going

Dain is running despite not knowing where the creature is? Dain you will be Flat Footed since you don't know where it is.

Dain hustling out of the protective tree is enough to make the creautre act.

AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 231d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Grapple: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27

Lanneth seeing the creature come out of hiding hits it with a mudball just after it lashes out at Dain. The tentacle wraps around Dain's leg and begins to pull him in.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Party is up

Yorikata rolls her eyes, as the party walks into the same shit as last time.

Ardashir hurries to the rescue of Dain.
Flachion+PA: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 162d4 + 17 ⇒ (2, 4) + 17 = 23

William joins Ardashir in freeing Dain.
PA +2 two handed warhammer named Agrimmosh: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
damage: 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (3, 6) + 14 = 23

Laneth flies about 30 feet away from the creature and curses it with misfortune!

Will 17 or must take the lower of 2 d20s for every roll in the next round. And NO This is not mind effecting!

I rememberd this time

Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Both mens blows are unable to penetrate the thick hide of leaves and vines of the creature.

Dain/Yori?

Dain tries hacking at the nasty
Dwarf axe: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 221d10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Against better judgement Yorikata turns back into a combat vialble form to join the fight.

move into position and turn human again.
Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39
Or if stealth is no longer possible in combat, use it for acrobatics 40
