The door appears to be unlocked and untrapped. Putting your ear close to the door, you don't hear anything from the other side.

"It sounds clear, guys. I'm going to open it, so get ready.". The elf throws open the door when the others are prepared.

"Ready."

"Ready here too!"

Grim will ready to rush in once Ruprecht opens...

Arduino grins and positions himself behind Reccy. "Ready"

Ready

A twenty-foot-tall statue of a man carrying a tome stands in a round niche at one end of this impressive chamber. The chest and head of the large statue have been badly damaged, and look like they melted and ran before congealing again, giving the statue a crude, blob-shaped face with eyes of red stone. A doorway leads to the southwest (where you are now), and another to the southeast.
The room is about 40' wide and 60' long.
The goblin isn't seen here.
Perception checks please

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Grim looks at the large statue in wonder...

perception : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 +2 for stonework

He tries to make out who the statue represents...

kn: religion : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Reccy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Arduino: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Perception 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 plus one more if it deals with traps.

Perception rolls

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Ellis

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Billy

sigh

Most of you see a couple of things hiding the shadows. One is the goblin that was running, he is armed with a bow and has it trained on you all. The other is a giant fanged cricket like monster with a head shaped like a mushroom cap is hiding in the shadow on the other side of the room. In addition you see two goblin corpses at the foot of the statue.

Grimdoc can see that the statue was originally an Azilanti statue until somewhat recently. It looks like some type of strong fire was used to deface the statue, partially melting it. It now more closely resembles Zog, a demon god that protects goblins.

Ellis see's Lore staring at something in the shadows. Suddenly he see's it!! Ellis attempts to hex the Goblin if he is close enough.

30' range, -2 attack rolls for 1 round, if it makes DC14 will save-then 1 round duration, if fail-then 7 rounds.

Do we need to roll initiative?

Grim takes a look at the giant cricket trying to remember if he has ever seen anything like it....
Knowledge (dungeoneering) : 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11

Any word on Initiative?

The strange slithering monsters drop from their hiding place in the ceiling and land on the ground. Their large frames only allow them to close the distance between them and the explorers. The goblin looks on in horror.
The monsters double move to close into base contact with the party. Assume the front line is in combat, everyone else as the ability to move around. I hope to get a map up later today.

Initiative Order: Monster, Ruprecht, Arduino, Lore, Ellis, Goblin, Grim
Ruprecht, Arduino, Lore, and Ellis go.

Reccy squawks angrily and claws and bites at the creature.

Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Talon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Talon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Arduino points a finger at the goblin and makes a quick gesture.

Cast Daze DC14 on the goblin.

Lore, if possible, maneuvers to get as many of the monsters as she can in a burning hands spell... without a map, hard to tell where she can go to get the most benefit from this, so I leave it to your discretion

3d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 3) = 10

dc14 reflex save for 1/2 damage

Ruprecht stabs at the closest monster with his spear.

Attack 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Reccy's bite and claws don't damage the monsters. The goblin follows Arduino's fingers, Will Save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16, and is somewhat unaffected by the daze.
Lore is able to get both monsters in her blast. Reflex Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11, their hard carapaces start to burn.
Ruprecht isn't able to crack the monster's shell either.

Ellis. Your turn

Ellis Hexes one of the monsters.

(dc 14 will, if monster saves -2 to attack rolls for 1 round, if save fails then 7 rounds

Billy charges and attempts to gore one of the Monsters
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Grim watches the big burning bugs resist his friend's other attacks. He awaits the goblin...waiting for just the right time to spring into action.

Sorry guys... I posted this morning but something bad seemed to have happened. Here we go again.

The monster tries to fend off Ellis' hex Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7, but he can't. The giant cricket blinks a few times.

Billy's charge misses.

The goblin tries to look calm, but his eyes give away the terror in his soul. Still he fires his bow, Random Target: 1d3 ⇒ 2 Attack Ellis w Bow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 for damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Initiative Order: Monster, Ruprecht, Arduino, Lore, Ellis, Goblin, Grim

MAP... finally!

Grim moves into flank with the goat...and pounds the critter...

ci warhammer: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 2 = 24 for damage : 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"Blasted bugs are tougher 'an well...somethin' really hard!"

Grim moves through the room to attack the large worms. As he moves by the goblin, the foul greenskin strikes out at him, AoO: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14, but Grim is able to duck the attack. As the dwarf springs up, he clobbers the monster.

The monster now trapped between Grim and Goat attacks Grim with a bite and strikes goat and Ruprecht with claws.
Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26, confirm 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 for Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 and Fort DC12 save.
Claw Goat: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 I don't have stats for the goat, what is his AC?
Claw Ruprecht: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15, for damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The other monster tries to bite and claw Reccy once, another claw for Lore.
Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 for 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5; Reccy needs to make a Fort DC14 save.
Claw : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Claw Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Initiative: Initiative Order: Monster, Ruprecht, Arduino, Lore, Ellis, Goblin, Grim
Note the map above.

Ruprecht moves 5' back and to the left, getting out of range of the monster. After moving back, he pulls out a bomb, ready to throw at his next opportunity.

Current HP 3/10

Lore, trusting her companions are still healthy enough and she can always channel energy next round, sends another burning hands at the two monsters, then backs up five feet to avoid being struck again if possible.

3d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 4) = 10

reflex save 14 for 1/2 damage

Angry at the creature harming his beloved bird, Arduino moves around next to it and tries to distract it.

Move to the right of the rightmost enemy
Aid Another on Reccy's AC versus AC10: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (7) - 2 = 5

Her partner failing utterly, Reccy fights on.

Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Talon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Talon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

@gm - you have Grim 2. Squares north of Lore, right? I did not realize the goblin had moved to within reach... .

Grim tries to shake loose of the worm bite...

fort : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 +2 vs poison or spells.

Ellis yells, "William!!! Good Lord!! Leave the up close and personal work to those who are better equipped!!"

Ellis hexes the second cricket creature.
dc 14 will, if monster saves -2 to attack rolls for 1 round, if save fails then 7 rounds.

The goat will 5' step away from the cricket.

The party starts its hasty retreat from the monstrous crickets! Before that though... Lore lets a blast of fire erupt from her hands. Reflex Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19. Only a slight burn mark appears on each of them.
Reccy can't seem to find her magic touch, and flails harmlessly against the monsters.
Again the monsters try to avoid Ellis' hex. Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6. But don't, each are now hexed.
Poison injects into Grim and Reccy, but their strong constitutions prevent anything foul happening.

Grim- I moved you to most advantageous position, the goblin missed. So all is good. Ellis- what are the stats on your goat?

The goblin moves to get a better shot and fires his bow at Arduino.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 for Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Initiative: Initiative Order: Monster, Ruprecht, Arduino, Lore, Ellis, Goblin, Grim

MAP

Grim looks at both critters before him and decides to shift to the east to flank with Reccy

" Take this you crazy bugs!. "

ci warhammer: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 2 = 15 for damage : 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Grim's heavy warhammer proves to be just a bit to slow for the bug, it misses by just a small bit.

The monster near Grim and Arduino strikes-
Bite Grim: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 2 = 12
Claw Grim: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 2 = 8
Claw Arduino: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 2 = 11
But all of the attacks miss!

The other monster attacks Reccy, the little bird just making him mad!
Bite: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 - 2 = 19 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 and needs to make a DC14 Fort save
Claw: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 2 = 15
Claw: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 2 = 17

MAP
Initiative: Initiative Order: Monster, Ruprecht, Arduino, Lore, Ellis, Goblin, Grim

Lore sends a firebolt at the creature directly in front of her, hoping to hit it.

ranged touch: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 3 - 4 = 10

dmg if hits: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Ruprecht throws a vial at the closest creature, hoping acid will make it burn.

Ranged Touch 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Damage 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Grim watches to see if the fire or acid seem to work any better than weapons.

"Nice shot there, Ruprecht!"

When he has the chance he will 5' step back (towards the NE) to give his friends a clearer shot. He will drop his warhammer (free), cast CLW on himself (std), then as a move, pick up the hammer again (move).

clw: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

It misses- I dropped Mage Armor on Reccy earlier.
Also I said move to the RIGHT of the rightmost enemy, not the left. Mind if I swap squares?

Sidestepping back as Reccy glides easily to the left, the two trap one of the monsters between them- well, as if the sorcerer could trap ANYONE.

Reccy unleashes another wave of bites and talons.
Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Arduino tries to distract the creature
Aid Another on her AC, 1d20 ⇒ 9

Lore's bolt just barely misses the monsterous cricket. However, Ruprecht's vile of acid explodes on the monster's carapace. The poor beast moans for a few moments before slumping to the ground, dead. Reccy is able to flank with the remaining monster, but only one bite is able to hit the fiend.

Ellis, your turn.
MAP

Ellis holds. The goblin fires his bow at Ruprecht.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 but the arrow misses the mark wide.

Initiative: Initiative Order: Monster, Ruprecht, Arduino, Lore, Ellis (holding), Goblin, Grim

Grim will 5' north to the goblin and take a swing at the pest..

"Stop shooting at my friends you green bugger!!! . "
ci hammer : 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 = 21 For damage : 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Anyone want to give an order for Ellis and his goat?

Grim steps into the Goblin, his hammer smashing into the poor goblin's nose. Blood pours everyone where, but the goblin manages to stand on his feet. Please master dwarf, let me be. I promise to stop shooting, just let me be!. The goblin lets loose of the bow and it clatters to the ground.

Not sure how hurt goat was, but assume bad enough. Ellis sheet shows spear with reach...assuming long spear, so if nothing else, could poke at cricket or attack ac 10 to aid Reccy.

Hearing nothing definitive, I am going to move on.

The remaining monster strikes out against Reccy.
Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 for Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Initiative: Initiative Order: Monster, Ruprecht, Arduino, Lore, Ellis , Goblin, Grim
Arduino- can you please post the stats (AC/HP) of Reccy somewhere I can access? Thanks.

Ruprecht pulls his spear and moves in front of Ellis, trying to strike the beast.

Current HP 3/10

Lore channels healing energy for the party, excluding the living cricket creature and the goblin with selective channeling.=healing

channel healing: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Arduino lets out a cry of anger as the creature nearly drops Reccy, then exhales in relief as Lore's light heals her to a biting, clawing fury.

"Lore, I owe you a drink when we get back to a bar!"

Wiping his brow, he feints at the creature as Reccy tears into it.

Aid Another on Reccy's AC: 1d20 ⇒ 8
R Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
R Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
R Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Name: AC|HP
Reccy: 23|4/11
Arduino: 12|9

"Aye, lass, that neatly patches me up as well."

Reccy, filled with vigor, strikes out at the giant monster with her viscous claws. They rip a giant hole in the beast and he slumps to the ground motionless.

Everyone looks at the goblin, who simply responds, So, uhm, youse ok with me just leaving this place?
