Morghrim doesn't stop grinning.

If all yer going to do is stand there lad, you should know I have plenty of crossbow bolts ye infernal bastard...

Reload and fire crossbow, still from a kneeling position.

1d20+3
1d8+1

Edit: Is that my first miss in the campaign? :O my lucky streak is over...

You don't really have line of sight to shoot at him, do you want to change your action?

Ah sorry, I thought from your post that he had just gone further back into the corridor.

Morghrim will move forward, stowing his crossbow and pulling out his heavy mace, and then cast Guidance on himself.

Begin to shiver slightly, Wart moves closer to Addie, and is whipping his loaded sling cautiously, at the ready. He scans the passageways for any hint of movement.

Nobody knows what hurts this thing? A One word answer is fine...

** spoiler omitted **

Silver! Morghrim bellows.

Kev theres a silver battleaxe strapped to my back, if the Imp comes a-calling...

Wart mutters, Silver...silver...what do I have that's silver....

He begins checking pockets with his free hand as whips the sling around.

Kevorin moves up behind Morghrim and readies to fire his crossbow should the tiefling return to view.

Addie, Valeron, and Bron are up.

Seeing the others begin to disappear around the corner, Valeron hustles to catch up with the others.

Double-move to AO-18

Glaive in hand, Addie hurries up the passageway toward Morghrim and Kevorin, mentally directing her Dancing Lights to follow along with her.

Double-move action to square AS-10. Move Dancing Lights to squares AS-9, 10, and 11.

Waiting a split second to cover the group's back, Bron then hustles to catch up with the rest of the group.

Is the initiative order the same from earlier?

I will go ahead a pre-post my actions since mine have little to do with the Tieflings.

Wart searches through a pocket, and pulls out a vial filled with a clear liquid. He drinks it and coughs,

Tastes like...coconuts...and metal?

Current Initiative Order (as of the end of this post)

Addie
Valeron
Bron
Morghrim
Kevorin
Tiefling
Wart

Hearing that his persuers are not going away the tiefling come back out from around the corner.

Kevorin fires his crossbow at the tiefling, narrowly missing the creature.

Attack:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Damage:1d8 ⇒ 6

Morghrim take your readied action, then I will post the rest of the tiefling's action.

I don't have a readied action, I cast Guidance and have a melee weapon out.

Sorry about that Morghrim. In light of that here's the initiative order.
Addie
Valeron
Bron
Kevorin
Tiefling
Morghrim
Wart

The Tiefling reaches for a symbol on a chain around his neck and mutters a few words as burst reddish black energy washes over Morghrim, Kevorin, and Addie.

Morghrim, Kevorin, and Addie need to make a DC15 Will Save.

3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6) = 10

Take 10 damage if you fail, 5 if you make it.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Gritting his teeth against the negative energy, Morghrim hefts his mace in both hands as he readies himself to charge and smash the Tiefling.

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Hissing in pain from the unholy energies, Addie focuses her will and glares at the tiefling priest, attempting to instill a sense of dread and doubt into its mind. (Evil Eye Hex: tiefling takes a -2 penalty to AC for duration of 7 rounds; Will DC 15 reduces duration to 1 round.)

Addie then backs away, trying to move out of range before the tiefling priest can channel more negative energy. (Move to square AS-14)

EDIT: Holy cow! Addie is down to 3 hp! Guess she'll be breaking out the ol' healing wand next round.

I think we're on Morghrim and Wart again? Then Addie, Bron and Valeron?

Actually Morghrim, Wart, Addie, Valeron, Bron, and the Kevorin. Kevorin still needs to make a saving throw for me. Since you all go before the tiefling does, go ahead and post your actions. If Kev has not posted a save for by morning, I'll roll it for him.

Confused again, does my previous post still count, or did it happen?

DM on the map the Tiefling is still around the corner, and Addie is miles away? Did we change map document or something? I'm very confused...

Assuming he can, Morghrim will charge the Tiefling with his mace in both hands. Expending Guidance on the attack roll.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 VS AC-2
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 (Includes Destruction + Whetstone)

MAP should be the same map as before, Morghrim. Either try that link or refresh the page you have up.

Wart chugs his extract last round. Morghrim and Wart are at the bottom of the round. Valeron delayed earlier and thus his initiative was moved (effectively skipping a round), Kevorin readied an action.

Kevorin's Will Save:1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18

Morghrim charges the Tiefling landing a thunderous blow on the tiefling, but the creature still stands...in fact you're not entirely sure the he's not laughing.

Wart is up, followed by the top of the round with Addie, Valeron, Bron, Kevorin, and then the tiefling.

Scrambling down the hall, quick like a monkey, Wart comes to a stop in the center of the light, and using his momentum to attack the Tiefling with his sling.

Addie draws out her wand of healing, and uses it to heal some of the damage caused by the tiefling's unholy energies.

Standard action to use CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Wart's shot with his sling hit the tiefling priest in the forhead, which while not doing a tremendous amount of damage, at least makes the bastard stop laughing.

Addie falls back and heals herself with the wand.

Morghrim paces back and forth in front of the Tiefling, crouched low in a battle stance with the slightly unfamiliar mace held in front of him with both hands, making the occasional feint to keep the Tiefling on his toes.

Even if I fall, ye won't defeat all me friends... Morghrim whispers tauntingly. Yer going to die, ye infernal hellspawn... Yer going to die here in these sewers, and no one will remember ye or yer deeds...

Not liking the advantage the Tiefling had in these narrow halls, Bron will leave the result of the melee ahead to Morghrim as he simply sticks close to the intersection, providing a buffer in case of a rear assault.

Ready action to attack tieflings that might be coming from behind the group.

if anyone's at a loss for what to do for their actions, i'd appreciate aid another actions ;)

Valeron continues down the hall, no longer hearing the same intense sounds of battle that were present seconds earlier.

As he reaches the corner, and turns into the next hallway, he sees his companions along the next sixty feet of corridor, barely making out glimpses of Morghrim engaged in combat in the dim light in the distance.

Single move to AS-18, will ready my standard action to attack anything - i.e. an imp - that appears

Don't think anyone can aid Morghrim with aid another actions - doesn't that require melee range with the tiefling? At any rate, I'm 2 rounds of double-moves away still!

updated the map for you Valeron.

Hi folks, I'm back now for good. Thank you for your patience. I'm trying to get caught up on what's been going on, so if this isn't quite in keeping with the current situation let me know...

Kev calls out, "Somebody get me Morghrim's glaive, so I can gut the Bastard!".
While waiting for the glaive to be delivered, he holsters his axe and uses his standard action to attempt to demoralize the priest.

Intimidate check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 Oh yeah! back with a vengeance!

The tiefling's hand is consumed with a blue-black energy reaches out and touches Morghrim, then takes a step back.

Morghrim give me a Will Save DC16, if you fail the save take 23 damage, if you make it take 11 from Inflict Serious Wounds.

No AOO? Normally spells like that are cast from 5 foot away, then stepped in to deliver. The melee touch attack doesn't provoke because its considered lethal but he'd have to have defensive casted to do that.

And assuming hes shaken like I hope he is, hes on a -2 penalty to that concentration check too :).

Assuming thats all been taken into account and he made a DC21 Concentration check with a -2 penalty, heres M's will save-

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

Hey team, less faffing about an invisible Imp and more helping the beleaugered Dwarf aye ;)

Kev calls out, "Somebody get me Morghrim's glaive, so I can gut the Bastard!".

Addie moves forward toward Kevorin and passes the glaive to him over Wart's head. As she does so, she mentally directs her Dancing Lights to advance forward to better illuminate the tiefling priest.

Move to square AS-11; pass glaive to Kevorin. Move Dancing Lights to squares AS-6, 7, and 8.

Hey Nazard! Check out the thread for Sully's Kingmaker game - I'm offering to run it from the point where it left off if folks are interested - so far Karthas, Euron, and Tyr are on board.

"Morg, either hit him with that thing, or get out of there."

Edit: realised that what Kev first asked was really not very effective and put Morghrim in too much danger

Is it my action? I've been waiting for some clarity from Talomyr- maybe the guy cast inflict serious round the corner last round? And is it my action?

Yes, Morghrim you are up, The tiefling is a 5 ft step away from you. Morghrim, Wart, Addie, Valeron, Bron, and the Kevorin.

Shuddering from the vile energy flowing through him, Morghrim whispers a quick prayer to Shelyn as his wounds heal a little.

I have Morghrim on 9HP now, AC and Touch AC are still two higher than normal due to SoF.

You take care of my glaive Kev! Morghrim shouts as he glances over his shoulder, before stepping in and swinging to crush the Tiefling's head with his mace.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Morghrim's mace connects with the tiefling priest again, only this time the hellspawned creature winces in pain rather than smiles.

Watching the dwarf getting bashed up front, Wart hoots like a monkey as he dashes forward, over the dwarf and attempting to roll up between the tieflings legs.

EDIT: This is going to hurt

Wart moves forward, attempting to bypass the priest but pays an awful price as the tiefling's mace comes crashing down on the halfling's head.

Wart takes 14 from a critical hit.

Addie steps up past Kevorin into the illumination of her Dancing Lights and glares at the tiefling, attempting to instill a sense of doubt and dread into the evil priest's mind.

Move action to step forward to square AS-8; Standard action to use Evil Eye Hex: tiefling takes a -2 penalty to AC for duration of 7 rounds; Will DC 15 reduces duration to 1 round.

In the interest of finishing this damned combat...

Addie glares at the priest, completely catching him off-guard and visiblly shaking the tiefling. Valeron and Bron move in closer to the combat as Kevorin steps into the combat, practically foaming at the mouth with rage, and drives Morghrim's glaive into the tiefling priest's throat. The last protests of the priest are nothing more than a sickening gurgle as he chokes on his own blood.

That's combat folks, and with that welcome to 3rd level. If you wish to continue forward onward into the sewers, do not adjust your characters yet. If you choose to fall back and regroup, go ahead and advance your characters.

I vote we tend to Wart, loot the bodies of the tieflings we killed, check out these nearby rooms, and then go back to the surface to re-group and level up. That way we can go after the rest of the Bastards of Erebus when Alex gets back.

Morghrim slumps against the wall, gasping in pain.

About time... he grumbles. Although there is not a clear source of his wounds, the Dwarf looks pale and seems to be shaking and blood is seeping out through the gaps in his breastplate armour.

Any healing? he croaks as he pulls out his waterskin and takes a long swig from it. He then notices Wart.

Aargh crap, not the little one... he mutters. I'll be fine, see to him quickly!

^^ My votes regroup. Also remember we have a prisoner, because Morghrim probably won't...

Kev ends his rage and collapses against the wall next to Morghrim, panting. He still has the blade of the glaive embedded in the priest's throat.

"Morghrim...would you...like your...weapon back with...a side of tiefling...or...without?"

Also vote for regroup. Me wants my second barbarian level with a side of intimidating glare.

The looting part is easy.

11 maces, one of which glows when magic is detected
9 sets of studded leather
2 chain shirts, one of which glows when magic is detected
150 gp
200 sp
2 divine scrolls (contagion and undetectable alignment)
1 ring, which glows when magic is detected

Under the effects of her Detect Magic spell, Addie studies the mace, chain shirt, and ring in an attempt to discern their mystical properties.

Spellcraft Checks:
Mace: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Chain Shirt: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Ring: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Spellcraft Checks:
Mace: 1d20 + 9
Chain Shirt: 1d20 + 9
Ring: 1d20 + 9

The mace and chain shirt are each +1. The ring you were not able to definitively identify, but the magic is abjuration.

The mace and chain shirt are each +1. The ring you were not able to definitively identify, but the magic is abjuration.

If I had to gamble, I'd guess that the ring is a ring of protection - might be good for Wart to have.

Kev would love that +1 chain shirt, but since he already got a ring of protection, I understand if somebody else would prefer it.

Of course, he'd be willing to give up the ring to somebody else in exchange for the chain shirt.

Talomyr, is it okay for him to go Invulnerable Rager, giving up Uncanny Dodge for DR 1/--?

Also, can we have the Diplomacy check to see what sort of percentage they get for the other stuff they don't want to keep?

Not a problem.
