DMummy's Mask

Game Master Elmdorprime

So still waiting on the full round after the surprise round Dwalindor?

if he can see them and can charge - he will definitely do something. I thought they would move first...but cannot tell. From the map it is hard to tell if we can even see them at all (LoS)?

Dwalindor gets anxious and moves forward to get a better look.

Moves 30' west, AO10 and readies (will keep the same rolls as before since we did not use them -but add +2 from blessing)

Honestly I'm not too bothered by LOS but you guys definitely have the first move. Tariq is still up but given his situation I'll check tomorrow and start botting as needs be.

Ok - LoS is good only for charging/pouncing. Otherwise use his move and readied action as posted above...

Oh, here they are, Tariq!

I cast Lead Blades, do we get to go again before them?

Yes, you won initiative after the surprise round.

Am I logged in?

Nope! :)

Dwalindor is still readied…

I wonder when our DM will log in. Strange that he hasn't posted

Wise guys eh? Why I oughta...

The statues begin to move out of their alcoves and advance. As they do their heads slowly begin to transform into the stone visages of cobras.

And that's it, two move actions.

”Noonan tell me these snake heads ain’t friendly! “

Dwalindor charges straight ahead….to within 10’ of closer one.

full attack coming…

Ok. They ain't friendly.

Dwalindor smiles as he charges/pounces on the closest statue thing.

”Rraargggee! “

Tariq?

Moving for Tariq. Noonan did you spell take up this round's action?

Attack (Flaming Shamshir): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31
Damage (Flaming Shamshir): 1d6 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 8 + (2) = 15

Attack (Adamantine Kindjal): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28
Damage (Adamantine Kindjal): 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Dwalindor's furious charge manages to destroy the statue advancing on him as it falls into pieces at the repeated blows of his earthshaker.

Tariq moves swiftly to strike at his own statue and chips away at it but the magically enhanced weapons at his commands are strangely resisted by the statue's sturdy stone still unweathered by time.

Shad casts shadow bow, cursing his luck at encountering these statues again.

Yes, I fervored

The statues spit venom at Tariq and Dwalindor.

Make a DC 17 Fortitude save please! If you fail you take 1d4 ⇒ 4 Constitution damage per round for 2 rounds.

For Tariq: Fortitude: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 Erp.

Back to you!

Noonan does Tariq with Antitoxin to give him another save at +5

Dwalindor attempts to resist the poison.

fort, rage, hardy: 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 21 + 2 = 40

Dwalindor steps over and unloads on the next statue...

BAH! You are next!

So, a small success.

Dwalindor crushes another one - but notices that the pieces of the first statue are starting to gather.

Giving Tariq until tomorrow then botting again! I mean, that was a lousy bot since his fort save went so badly >.>.

” Um Noonan? We gots a problem over here.“

I'll try to summon something to wreck it.

Tariq winces as the vitality drains from his body as he fights the venom.

Meanwhile he attacks the last golem:

Attack (Shamshir): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38
Damage (Shamshir): 1d6 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 8 + (4) = 16
Attack (Kindjal): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

His sword and kindjal flash but only the sword manages to connect.

Shad meanwhile fires his bow at the creature:

Attack (Shadow bow): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27
Damage (Shadow bow): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Attack (Shadow bow): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Sadly the shadowy arrows disappate on contact with the stone golem.

"Why couldn't it be cultists?"

Meanwhile the statue attacks the diminished Tariq:

Attack (heavy mace): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39
Damage (heavy mace): 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Attack (heavy mace): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33
Damage (heavy mace): 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Attack (heavy mace): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Damage (heavy mace): 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

The mace rains blows at the wounded ranger who coughs up a mixture of venom and blood onto the stone floor of the tomb.

Note: Tariq is at 21 hp.

Noonan casts Heal on Tariq

Dwalindor will move to the last golem if it still moves.

” You look a bit green Tariq“

let me know if need full attack rolls

It's still up! And relatively undamaged even.

Dwaindor will move to the next and smash

HEY! Leave poor Tariq alone already!

Dwalindor smashes the golem into tiny pieces - but now the pieces of the second golem seem to be moving too.

Does anyone know how to stop this?

”I ain’t exactly sure, but smashing them don’t seem to be it. “

knowledge check?

Kn: local : 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 or maybe arvane but Dwal doesn’t do that one

Knowledge (Arcana) or (Religion) or (History) would work.

Know-Religion: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

Noonan, you've heard of obscure rituals done by master golemancers who used powerful magic to create construction chambers for their creations - should they be destroyed the pieces would flow back to the chambers to be reconstructed and unleashed anew to ensure an endless cycle of guardians wherever they were placed.

These golems were made in special chambers that can endlessly repaired unless destroyed. We should follow them and strike before they are repaired.

Are they flowing in some direction?

”Wait? Are we in one of those chambers here? How do we stop em? Do we need to follow the parts to those chambers? “

There are three alcoves to the south they are moving to, AR5, AR7 and AR9 on your map.

Try smashing the shards!

Dwalindor grins. That I understand!

He will move to alcove #1 (AR5) and smash it.

Dwalindor slams his hammer again and again into the alcove, smashing the sides, floor, shards of the golem, everything to pieces that he can but his repeated assaults fail to keep the now-pebbles from congregating - along with the alcove itself now.

Noonan or Tariq, give me a perception check please!

Perception: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (18) + 24 = 42

OK then.

Noonan, you notice that the keystones in arches above the alcoves are distorting the air with how much magic they are pulling in to repair the damage your dwarven companion is doing with his earthbreaker.

What Noonan? Do I keep smashing this or...or...you have that 'don't bother me I'm thinking' look like you get.

Dwalindor will continue to smash until told to do otherwise.

The keystones! They are pulling in magic to repair the golems and chamber!

Dwalindor tries to smash the keystones instead....

Gotcha...

Noonan starts bashing as well

Mace+2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 171d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
