.......... Dwarven Ruins Basement - Area 2 Crucible of Offering ..........

Farid tries to draw the beast's attention with a strike with his axe but the blow just miss the creature and it turns toward Auxavier.

Feeling the bit of a magical weapon the creature launches itself at Auxavier with beak and four tentacles. The paladin is able to fend off the wormy limbs but the beak is too quick and takes a chunk out of his arm. Auxavier takes 3 damage!!

Aux turns on the beast chopping again....

Handaxe (+1) 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 181d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 S
adding Bhoors aid another to this roll

Bhoors drops his bow and rushes the creature drawing his great axe. "If we can't hurt it bother it enough that it needs to worry about us so Serila and Aux's face axe can finish it."

Bhoors is using the aid another action to assist Aux. Aid Another: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Roo will use Aid Another to increase Aux's AC.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

"I can do it a couple more times!" Serila announces as another bolt of fire appears in her hand and she throws it.

Fire Bolt: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3

"Good work Serila, it smells worse cooked."

.......... Dwarven Ruins Basement - Area 2 Crucible of Offering ..........

Auxavier strikes the beast again sinking the axehead into the chest of it deeply. Just before the Paladin pulls the axe out Serila sends another bolt of fire at the creature which burns a hole straight thru it's flank. The tentacles twitch then fall limb as it's whole body slumps to the ground.

.......... Dwarven Ruins Basement - Area 2 Crucible of Offering ..........

At the center of this large stone chamber is a deep pit filled with molten slag and sizzling blood that casts a hellish red gleam on the walls. Three narrow chutes open in the ceiling directly above the pit. The air here is oppressively hot and thick with ash.

A copy of the description of the room from an earlier post. I will start to do this after combat so it reminds you guys about what the room looks like and if you want to search it more thoroughly.

Farid grans a potion and drinks it to keep his health up as who knows what else will be faced in this place.

Potion CLW 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"We should search later, for now let us find what we came here for..."

That said he heads back to the door to see if it is locked as he is sure there is no trap on it.

"Farid you should reserve your potions, as you can always use them in a desperate hour, we have a wand. I too have need of it."

Serila pushes the insect's corpse into the lava pit, then channels positive energy to heal her allies.

Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 5

"Do you want some more healing?" Serila asks those who still have some wounds after the second wave of healing energy.

Aux is at 16/17HP.
Farid is at 20/23HP, assuming he didn't actually drink the potion.

"Reserve yourself Serila. I feel fine. How fair you Farid? See healing for all."

Bhoors retrieves his bow.

.......... Dwarven Ruins Basement - Area 2 Crucible of Offering ..........

Farid inspects the door set of double doors on the north wall and finds they are locked.

"Do we want to try elsewhere, or do we want to force these doors?

"We don't to bang it in. I mean its possible our presence is known but no reason to guarantee it. Any spells that open doors? Probably not. Its possible the Kobolds don't come this way. Dangerous bricks and doors they don't have the key to and they had no sentry by this door."

As Farid is about to drink his potion Serila's healing wahses over him. He stoppers it and places it back in his pack, "Sorry, I am so used to being self reliant that... well I am used to doing everything on my own".

Farid tries the door, "Let's see if I can unlock this".

Disable Device 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Aux smiles at Farid his duality makes the man special in different ways a gem with many facets.....though if he told him so the big man would be flabbergasted.....

"Did we find a key upon the kobold guards?"

Aux looks at the pit in the center of the room....
"We had best check that before we leave. Or at least hold rites for the dead."

"No just weapons armor and spare change."

I'll spend the 2 channels in my previous post. I've got plenty of healing left, for now.

"I have no idea what's behind these doors, Aux, but I currently have enough healing spells left for whatever it is."

Serila positions her dancing light so Farid has as the illumination he requires to work the lock.

If anyone's able to open the door, Serila immediately sends her dancing lights into the new room.

.......... Dwarven Ruins Basement - Area 2 Crucible of Offering ..........

Farid uses his tool to try to pick the lock but fails to get the lock to open.

"Take your time Farid, this tunnel may allow us to bypass some defenses."

"Serila what does your insight into magic tell you about the flaming slag in the center of this room?"

.......... Dwarven Ruins Basement - Area 2 Crucible of Offering ..........

Farid relaxes and takes his time to figure out the lock after a few minutes he is able to unlock the door.

"I figured it was just a random pit with lava, but I'll check."

Serila casts detect magic on the pit and its contents. If she learns anything, she'll share it.

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

.......... Dwarven Ruins Basement - Area 2 Crucible of Offering ..........

Bhoors smiles when he sees Farid by pass the lock, "Good work. Are there traps? We should get moving. Watch for worms and anvils."

Roo will take up position close to the door and wait for Farid to open it.

"It seems his head and shoulders are irresistible targets. Perhaps we should get you a skullcap when we return to town."

"A skullcap? I think I need a giant steel helm!

I didn't find any traps. Alright we all ready?"

Farid opens the door and steps back drawing his axe ready to face whatever is on the other side.

"Well sure if you do not want to see or hear the trouble before you find it...or it finds you."

Aux laughs a little and heads forward....
"Close the door behind us, perhaps we will not be followed."

Aux adjusts his shield and axe in hand goes forward.

.......... Dwarven Ruins Basement - Dire Rat Hallway ..........

Farid opens the door and a smell of death washes over the group. A dark hallway stretches in front of you. Serila sends four small balls of bright light into the hallway to light the group’s way. At the edge of the lights about 25 feet down the hall something is lying on the ground and you can see three small creatures around it. When the light hits them they charge at you.

The large rats scramble over each other to attack with large bloody teeth. Two of them snap at Bhoors but the ranger is able to dodge the sharp teeth. The last one leaps at Farid and takes a bite out of his flank. Farid takes 4 damage and I need a Fort. Save!!!

Bolt: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

The bolt nearly pierces Bhoors's skull and Serila cringes. "Sorry! Won't do it again!"

Farid grunts at Serila's errant shot, "You know if she tried that shot over my should it would have landed in my shoulder..."

Bhoors wipes his ear a small line of blood on the back of the his glove shows he was nicked by Serila's errant shot. "Hit the furry ones."

Bhoors raises his axe and drops it again toward one of the rats.

"The short, four-legged furry ones..." opines the stubbly, long-haired, rather hirsute Ruthviren.

.......... Dwarven Ruins Basement - Dire Rat Hallway ..........

Bhoors finishes the last rat and the hallway way is quiet and bloody. Serila's small dancing lights hang in the air and just at the edge of the light you can see something lying on the ground about 25 feet down the hallway.

"Not seeing much point in searching these for fleas, if anyone wants a trophy or such go ahead."

Aux pauses to see and if not begins forward again towards the something lying on the ground...

"Best to keep putting distance between us and the chamber of secrets so we can stay ahead of trouble."

"Let's go see what they were snacking on."

"Hairy ones, four legs, not Roo. Got it."

Serila stays at the back of the party, but tries to see past the others in order to detect possible hazards.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

While walking, Serila reloads her bow.

"We all be hairy beasts."

Perception 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
