Dungeon Master Heathy's Carrion Crown

Game Master Heathansson

Nkai gets to Y16/P16.

He's at the top of the stair.

There's a trapdoor. It is not open. He has to open it first.

Now, at MN 18-19, there's another trap door. One could missile troll 2 or 3 from Nkai's position, but could not melee either of them.

My mistake. Does the trapdoor have a lock or looks like it is just barred from the inside. I.e: could Edwin pick it or do we have to hack through it?

Got it Heathy. And perfectly reasonable. (I apologize for being one of the most frequent particpators in the 'move me as close as you can' category) ;)

Question, Can Ed use the reach on his whip to try and snag one of trolls through the newly opened trapdoor? (I'm imagining the trolls face if it gets yanked down in the middle of a group of adventurers.) :)

I know I would have to move to a position to do so, I guess it would be a Trip attack?

Yes; from the stairway he could do that.

It's not locked or anything.

N'Kai will procede to examine the trapdoor and open it if he deems it safe...
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Swift action to recall Shocking Grasp using 1 AP point. 4/6 left

Yay! So Edwin will move to Y 19, (Allowing his friends to move past him freely of course) :)

Sorry, SHORT version, PLAN to move to Y 19, and snag a Troll through the now open trapdoor in the roof. Trip troll & drag it down where we can pound on it. Unless that causes problems, that is what I will do. :)

Leik will move to Y18 (not sure if he can get further based on people's moves) and then lash out with his whip at a troll.

flame lash: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 vs touch AC
fire: 1d8 + 2 + 2d8 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (6, 7) = 16

Leik and all should be able to get by Ed on the stairs. At least, normally moving through a space occupied by a friendly is not a problem. If that's different on stairs (crowding, whatnot) then Ed will probably go last so he will not block the others getting to the roof.

yeah he will go further but i really cant see where the stairs enter that top room so i have no idea where i can go

Hm. It might help if I actually gave the rolls and whatnot. ;P If I am reading it right, I can only really try to grab #3, #2 is too far away, and #4 is above me. SO;

TRIP attempt, Troll #3: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

"Have a nice TRIP!" Edwin calls to the trap door as his whip snaps out,..

"See you next FALL!" He adds cheerfully.

yeah he will go further but i really cant see where the stairs enter that top room so i have no idea where i can go

Map translation matrix engaged,... ;)

If i'm reading it right, anyone who goes to the top of the stairway will come out in square O 16. Closest to troll #4, and between #4 and #1

Huzzah!!!

Not dead just resting... Huzzah

Sorry guys, I have been reeeeeeeeally busy. I worked a lot this weekend, and I'm maybe going to update tomorrow, because I have a lot of crap to take care of atm.

it's all good, my week pooped on me too. and my last week. haha

Lol. My wife's new job is pooping on her too. At least, she keeps telling me she's 'pooped'. ;P

Carry on Heathy! We'll await your return to the digital realm! ;)

Null sweat

map

N'Kai will procede to examine the trapdoor and open it if he deems it safe...

[dice=Perception] 1d20+8

Swift action to recall Shocking Grasp using 1 AP point. 4/6 left

** spoiler omitted **

No traps.

Nkai opens the trap door.

Edwin is able to trip troll three.
The troll falls, but (un)fortunately doesn't fall through the trapdoor.

Rholf, Larissa, Leik, Aethor to go....

regarding the stairs.....they go from y20 up to y17. At y17 is a trapdoor in the "ceiling" or "floor" of p16.

This door is now open thanks to N'kai.

Aethorduil holds fire (and his action) until anything from above or from across the bridge comes within 30ft... then he'll double shoot it.

Rholf, Larissa, Leik, to go....

Leik will move to Y18 (not sure if he can get further based on people's moves) and then lash out with his whip at a troll.

flame lash 1d20+12 vs touch AC
fire 1d8+2+2d8

Per my last action, i am in Y18 (not updated on the map)(not complaining, i know you're busy). Assuming my last attack was fruitless.

This action, I will move through the trapdoor to P17 and attack! (15ft move, the last of which puts me in the troll's threatened square. I will of course acrobatically attempt to avoid an AoO.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22

Attacking the troll to the south.
flame lash: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 vs touch AC
fire: 1d8 + 2 + 2d8 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (8, 8) = 24

Sorry; same round. Your last attack is this round's attack.

You hit the troll with the fire lash; which one you want....1, 2 an 3 are in reach.....

My brain is f&*&ing mush right now.

I just figured out a beer glitch in my databasing class on Youtube though. So sweet.

So Rholf ad Larissa up to bat.

beer glitch, eh? sounds delightful! i dont know about databasing. and Leik will aim at the troll directly south (the rightmost troll)

Can Leik target the one being attacked by two conjured scimitars instead? (That would be #2) Otherwise, they regen the damage already done and we are starting over on a target. Just a thought, if he's in range.

The illusory wall of fire disappears this round, I believe.

Larissa tries another searing light and holds her position.

Ranged Touch Attack vs #2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 1, 2) = 8

Can Leik target the one being attacked by two conjured scimitars instead? (That would be #2) Otherwise, they regen the damage already done and we are starting over on a target. Just a thought, if he's in range.

Amen to that

I don't know nuthin' bout no databasing, but a Beer glitch sounds awesome right now, with the week I'm having. :(

"And STAY down!" Edwin says smugly at the tripped troll.

Larissa hits troll 2.

Waiting for Leik's confirmation of two as target or not; note to self.....add Larissa's 8 damage and then Leiks' 24 damage to whichever target is confirmed.

Note to Leik; the attack with the acrobatics/going through the door would not happen this current round.

re: beer glitch: it's a term I stole from Teter; when you have a problem with computer stuff, sometimes it's best to go for a walk, have a beer, and come back to the problem later and it will occur to you what to do. If you sit there and beat away at it, you'll get nowhere.

so....

Aethor's holding action. Leik to confirm target per Larissa's request.
Rholf has an attack coming.

And Larissa's disappearing for the rest of September. I am trying to think up a "Larissa fell down a rabbithole" type write out for her.

And now, I'll be gone till much later tonight.

Rholf's spiritual weapon continues to attack troll 2. Rholf moves to W27 to stand next to Larissa.

Spiritual Weapon attack on Troll 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Spiritual Weapon damage on Troll 2: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Anyway, Rholfy misses. Their attack, once I get a confirm of Leik's target. And I'll be back tonight.

Ah, so 'Beer Glitch' is also referred to as an 'ID-10-T Error'
:)

Leik confirming attack per Larissa's request to keep the giant down.

Troll 2 is looking really beat up.

Troll 3 stands up and screeches angrily at Edwin.

Troll 1 doesn't do anything but pull one of his eyes out and eat it.

Troll 2 and 4 throw rocks at Leik and Larissa.

Leik is missed.

Larissa is hit, for 13 hp damage.

note to self: Larissa at 19 of 32 hp.

Group's attack!!!!!!

I might check in in a couple hours.

"Finish the wounded one, I´m going in!!"

N'Kai will climb from the trapdoor while still invisible and reappear while he attacks the closest troll #4

Swift action to enhance scimitar to +3, activate spellcombat casting arcane mark and 5-ft step to P17

+3 flaming keen scimitar: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
damage+fire: 1d6 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + (6) = 20

Confirm??: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 Welcome to pain city
damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

+3 flaming keen scimitar, Arcane Mark spellcombat: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
damage+fire: 1d6 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 8 + (4) = 16

Troll 4 burns hard at N'kai's attack. It still stands, but is horribly burned.

Larissa aims another beam at #2 and moves toward the gatehouse W23.

Searing Light ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 3d8 ⇒ (8, 8, 6) = 22

Rholf's spiritual weapon attack Troll 2 again.

Spiritual weapon attacks Troll 2:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Rholf channels to heal Larissa.
Channel: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5) = 12
(That's two expended so far.)

Thanks, Rholf. I was just doing the math and realized I had neglected to record a previous hit. I was down to 2 hp, now at 14.

Troll 2 collapses to the ground with Larissa's spell.

Rholfy can re-apportion his spiritual weapon if he desires.

note to self: 5 hp damage to troll 2 or a different troll if Rholf wants....

Rholf to verify target,

Leik, Edwin, and Aethor up to bat.

Meh, I hit like a truck ;D

Attacking the troll that the group needs to keep down, if it hasn't been hit with fire.
flame lash: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29 vs touch AC
fire: 1d8 + 2 + 2d8 ⇒ (7) + 2 + (3, 8) = 20

Aethorduil continues to cover the party.

Troll 1, please.

Edwin calmly observes as his friends fly into a flurry of movement, then calmly lashes out his whip once more at the troll giving the detective the stink-eye.

Trip attempt (again) on Troll #3

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Bleah!

"Oh, shut up!" Edwin snarls at the troll as he tries to untangle his whip.

Troll 1, please.

got it.
