Expedition to Demonweb pits. (Inactive)

Game Master Aku Warashi

Eamch moves over to the door, watching for what is coming.

Updated his position on the map.

Upon hearing the noises, Karla give a blank stare and an open question to her new allies, maybe it was friends, maybe not.
Taurven get up from his meal and pick up his bow, preparing himself if there’s any need for violence.
Eamch, moves to the door, and takes a careful look outside, Eamch: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22.
Gargamal, not trusting it to be hides in the trees just outside the house.

The approaching night is cool and pleasant. A fresh wind washes over the place bringing the smell of grass, wild life and… death. Looking on the road direction, Eamch and Gargamal see four large forms in the coming darkness. Untold and old memories flood their mind as they recognize the forms as Ogres. With them, elfs with skin black as the moonless night, cruel eyes and white hair.

They don’t appear to have seen Gargamal at the trees or Eamch spying from the door, but neither are them ignoring the house. Intentions? Map updated.

Karla lets her new companions go out and scout. Her task is to wait for battle, or for a nice conversation with fellow travellers. She unstraps her father's sword from her back and sits on a chair, waiting for a signal.

As soon as he recognizes the ogres Taurven acts. He does not want to be boxed up in the house, so he goes right out the front door. Once outside he lets an arrow loose at one of the ogres blundering about in the road.
Straight across from where he's at.

arrow(normal): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Edit: I should probably roll initiative.
Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Do I get a surprise round if I attack now?? Just wondering as they have not seen me.

His blood boiling with hatred a the sight of his dark skinned kin, Gargamal sights down his bow, and quickly firing one arrow at each of the hated drow. (Using deadly aim:-3 to hit/+6 damage)

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 4 = 34
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 4 = 15

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 4 = 29
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 4 = 21

Inititave: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 = 27

After some thought, can both attacks go on just one of the drow..I think I want to try and take one out quick, rather than just wound 2 of them...thanks!

Initiative 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Noting the massive size and brawn of the approaching ogres, Eamch steps closer to the door opening, drawing a wand from his backpack as he does so. He invokes the power of the wand upon himself, dropping it when he has done so. He makes a mental note of when the wand falls so he can recover it later.

5' step, ready wand, cast Mage Armor on himself, drop wand.

UMD Wand DC20 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

Active Effects: Mage Armor.

Gargamal silently creeps out in the cool near-night, positioning himself to ambush whatever is coming if it proves to be an enemy. Karla does not bother and keep eating, waiting for any signal that trouble is coming, while Eamch and Trauven wait at the door.

When Gargamal see his hated foe, he acts without thinking, sending two bolts in the unsuspecting enemy.

Action-
Taurven steps outside the house letting an arrow that strike the ogre down the road.
Eamch use this first moment to boost his defenses, casting a magical armor on himself.

Karla and Gargamal, you action for round one.

Hearing the first sounds of battle, Karla smiles and mutters a silent thanks to Torm as she gets out of the inn: "Ah ogres! Nice way to end a day!" she shouts to infuse her companions with courage. She raises her sword to the sky, then points at the incoming ogres in challenge. A wave of energy radiates out from her, making the air around her ally vibrant with excitement.

Aura of Heroism (30 feet): +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, saves, and skill checks;
Inspire courage: +2 competence on hit and damage
Summary: +4 to hit, +2 damage, +2 saves. Gargamal only has the IC for now.

Seeing his foe not go down in the initial volley, Gargamal sends another 2 arrows speeding at the drow.

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 15 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 4 + 2 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 4 + 2 = 17

Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 4 + 2 = 21

Gargamal, Karla's IC does not affect you this round because you act before her in the Initiative order.

Critical Confirmation: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 4 = 25
Dmg: 2d8 + 18 + 8 ⇒ (5, 3) + 18 + 8 = 34

Karla steps outside, claiming the glory of past battles and invoking her god blessing over her allies.

Garmagal send two more deadly arrows and with a definitive and audible grunt of pain, the elf falls, clearly dead.

Opps..ok, and thanks for the crit roll...I cannot believe I forgot it!!

The other drow, carrying a greataxe, with a battle cry on this lips, fury bulging in his eyes, charges at the elf, bringing his greataxe down with furious purpose.

Atk: 1d20 + 13 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 2 - 2 = 31
Dmg: 1d12 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 6 = 16

But even tho he hit, the wound was not a deep one, bringing no real risk to the elf.

==//==

The ogres, now that they get near, you see they are zombies. And with their clumsy size, they walk approaching the house.

The other drow, near the zombies, walk with her hands up in the air, as you hear her voice yells "The queen is stirring in her web! Kill all of them!"

At the same time a cold, cloying miasma of greasy darkness explodes near the house, hitting Karla, Eamch and Taruven.

Action-

You can all act. Don't forget the will save.

DM, the figure at the top of the steep slope... How hard is he to get to? Is it multiple moves per hex? Is it something that Eamch may be able to jump to the top of?

Taking a step back, Gargamal fires point blank at the evil Drow.
As he has Point-Blank Master feat, no AoO from target..hurah!

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 15 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 15 + 4 + 2 = 39
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 4 + 2 = 16

Will vs. Unholy blight: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13

The dark energy washes over Taurven, draining his strength and crushing his spirit. Still, Karla stands like a beacon of hope; shoring up his will.
Taurven recognizes the drow spell-caster as the main threat, so he turns his attention in that direction.
Full attack

Bow vs. drow: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 33
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 - 2 = 3

Bow vs drow: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 - 2 = 7

Will save: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 = 22

Karla shrugs off the worst of the dark energies that wash over her. Noticing the undead ogres making their way ever so slowly, she acknowledges the greater and more imminent threat of the caster at the top of the hill.

She moves over to Eamch and says: "Eamch! I'm roo slow. But by His grace, I grant you the power to walk on air. Go get that priest!"

Casting Air Walk on Eamch as I move to him or he passes me by..

Will 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 Eamch is sickened for 4 rounds

Despite feeling utterly wretched, Eamch bolts forward, making a dash toward the priest on the rise. As he advances, he experiments with Karla's spell. When he learns he can indeed step upon air as though it were the ground, he takes advantage of it to close with the priest.

With a 60' move, I believe Eamch can reach the spot to which I moved him on the map. If the zombie closest to the priest has a reach weapon in addition to its natural reach, it may get an AoO on Eamch. His path of movement is moving into Taurven's square, and then move diagonally until he reaches his current position on the map.

Once next to the priest, Eamch tries to grab him and pull his slightly off balance, hoping to make any spells harder to cast.

Grapple attack 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 2 - 2 = 28. That's +2 for improved grapple feat, -2 for being sickened.

Gargamal continues his arrow barrage, but that is still not enough to kill his enemy, that approaches once more and attack.

Atk1(PA): 1d20 + 13 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 2 - 2 = 15
Dmg: 1d12 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 6 = 27

Atk2(PA): 1d20 + 13 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 13 + 2 - 2 = 30
Dmg: 1d12 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 6 = 21

the first attack offers no real danger, but the second one cut deep, blood freely pouring out of the wound.

Garmagal HP 43/80

Moving with surprising agility with their clumsy and decayed body, the ogres charge forward, in a coordinated and tactical manner, with one avoiding to get in the other way.

Karla, after proclaiming the might of her deity, is targeted by two of the zombies

Atk(PA): 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 - 2 = 11
Dmg: 2d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (1, 8) + 9 + 6 = 24

Atk(PA): 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 - 2 = 14
Dmg: 2d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 9 + 6 = 22

Torm ever watchful, was smiling at his follower and thus no harm came to pass.
Karla HP 75/85

The other zombie attack Taurven.
Atk(PA): 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 - 2 = 15
Dmg: 2d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (2, 7) + 9 + 6 = 24

But it seems that Torm is looking not only to his follower, but to her friends as well, as the huge and clumsy attack hits the ground just beside him.
Taurven HP 42/64

The last zombie, attacks Eamch that is currently holding the priestess.
Atk: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 2 = 23
Dmg: 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (5, 4) + 9 = 18
The attack, unlike the others, had more accuracy and less power into it, and because he was holding the priestess, the Eamch was unable to properly avoid it, taking the full burnt of the attack.
Eamch HP 33/72

The priestess surprised when the monk as able to reach her, don't tries to avoid his hold, instead she laughs and says "Loth commands you! Flee!"

spellcraft DC 20 to identify the spell as Command

Eamch, will DC 21 or flee from her.

Edit
Garmagal hit the two attacks.
Karla Used her spell.
Eamch grappled the Priest.
Taurven hit only one of the attacks.

You can all act. Don't forget the will save.

Wincing from the brutal attack, Gargamal again steps back and fires 2 arrows from his bow, hoping to take out this warrior before it kills him!

Attack-Range: 1d20 + 15 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 4 + 2 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 4 + 2 = 23

Will save 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Eamch shakes off the spell washing over him, even though the near overwhelming illness lingers. "It's not that easy, sweetheart!"

With a zombie in striking distance, Eamch releases the priestess, only to follow up with a spinning flash of blows targeting her.

Five foot step (made on map), an flurry of blows with power attack, with a stunning fist attempt on all of them.

To hit 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 - 2 - 2 = 23
Damage 1d10 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 4 = 16

To hit 1d20 + 5 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 2 - 2 = 5
Damage 1d10 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 4 = 8

In the unlikely case that any of those actually managed to connect, it is a DC 19 fort save or be stunned for one round.

Trading his bow to his off hand, Taurven darts forward. In the same motion he draws his sword and attacks the dead ogre.
Switch hands on bow, draw sword as a free action. 5' step, attack.

Sword vs. undead ogre: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 - 2 = 5

"By Torm! Stop toying with them!" she shouts, maintaining her inspiration.

Karla moves to side with Taurven and administer Torm's medicine to the undead ogres. Her father's sword rings and flashes as it dances lightly in her powerful hands, and she lets it crash in the ogre's skull.

5-foot step, Inspire courage and Aura round 3, same target as Taurven.
PA, FF, IC, Her, Big Game Hunter: 1d20 + 13 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 4 + 1 = 212d6 + 15 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 15 + 2 + 2 = 24
Iterative: 1d20 + 6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 4 + 1 = 232d6 + 15 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + 15 + 2 + 2 = 28

The drow, preparing to finish off Gargamal falls with a final disbelief look in his face, as if for a moment, he could not believe that Loth had allowed him to fall to an elf...

==//==

Working together, Karla and Taurven were able to destroy one of the zombies, but unfortunately two others remain, still threatening them.

Without any regard for their own safety, the zombies press on the attack on the Karla.
Atk(PA): 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 2 = 27
Dmg: 2d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (1, 8) + 9 + 6 = 24

Atk(PA): 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 2 = 11
Dmg: 2d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (3, 6) + 9 + 6 = 24

With a superb precision, one of the zombies hit the cleric, and behind all the armor, sound of bones breaking could be heard.
Karla HP 51/85

The ogre attacking Eamch, do so once more.
Atk(PA): 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 2 = 18
Dmg: 2d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (4, 7) + 9 + 6 = 26
but despite of the attack power, no harm to the monk.

Eamch launches a sequence of punches aiming to stun the drow, but only one of them hits;
Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 and it's not enough to make the priestess unable to move, more it look like it pissed her off.

"You dare?? Die!!" she screams as she her hand seethes with eerie dark fire.
Concentration DC 25: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23
The spell however fails, as she attempted to cast without giving any opening to Eamch attack back.

Taurven ducks in to striking range and attacks.

Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 - 2 = 8

Full attack.

Taking a step over the body of his fallen foe, Gargamal sees the last drow battling Emach. He lifts his bow and fires another 2 arrows at his most hated enemy.

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 15 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 4 + 2 = 34
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 4 + 2 = 18

Karla reels from the pain, but keeps her spirit as she spits a glob of blood on the ground: "Ahahah! You're a sly one Torm! I'll give you that, BUT. WE. WILL. PREVAAAAAIIIIIIL!!!"

Aura and Inspire Courage round 4

She pivots on the ball of her left feet, and her swords circles round her in a deadly arc that almost catches Taurven, then she sneds it up and crashing down again on the bext ogre.

PA, FF, IC, Her, Big Game Hunter: 1d20 + 13 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 4 + 1 = 212d6 + 15 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6, 3) + 15 + 2 + 2 = 28
Iterative: 1d20 + 6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 4 + 1 = 272d6 + 15 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 15 + 2 + 2 = 23

Eamch tries to keep his bravado up, despite the fact that he was brutalized by the earlier ogre strike against him. Leery of the massive brute backing up the cleric, he takes a deft step to keep the priestess between him and the ogre.

"Well, yeah I dare. Frankly, you haven't given me a reason not to dare!" Eamch hopes his voice carries a tone of confidence.

He presses his assault on the priestess. Flurry of blows with power attack and stunning fist attempt on each attack. If any connect, a DC 19 fort save is required to avoid being stunned for one round.

To hit 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 2 - 2 + 2 = 18
Damage 1d10 + 3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 4 + 2 = 13
To hit 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 - 2 - 2 + 2 = 17

To hit 1d20 + 5 - 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 2 - 2 + 2 = 7
Damage 1d10 + 3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 4 + 2 = 14

If none hit last round, I don't think any hit this round either. :P
Notes: Round 3 of 4 being sickened. I have included Karla's inspire bonuses because I don't think it has a range in feet; if that is wrong, please deduct 2 from attack rolls and damage. This round exhausts 8 of Eamch's 9 daily uses of stunning fist.

Working together once more, Taurven and Karla bring down another one of the un-living monsters, it's decayed body, being severed in party by their precises attacks.

Gargamal, now free to concentrate in the priestess, fire two more arrows with deadly aim, each of them strike true.

Eamch launches again a barrage of punches, but his aim was compromised by the force he used and the evil effect that made him weaker.

==//==

The last remaining ogre near Karga, attack her once more, swinging his greatclub in a menacing way.
Atk: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 2 = 26
Dmg: 2d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 9 + 6 = 22

And once more, it hits, now putting her life in serious danger.

==//==

The ogre, attacking Eamch continues to do so, taking a step in his direction, not fuzzed by the steep slope.
Atk: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 2 = 16
Dmg: 2d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 9 + 6 = 18
It does not offer any danger.

The priestess once more does not retreat, and press on the attack.

"You'll feel Loth's blessing!"
Concentration DC 23: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23

Her hand, glowing with an evil energy the tries to touch Eamch.
Atk (Touch): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
but the clever monk, easily evade the attack.

Karla feels the life leaving her body, but she fights off the fear that creeps up her spine: "The Gods know you have lost! Only a spider-lover would fail to see this! We'll make it extra clear for you!" she shouts as she lets her sword do its deadly dance.

Aura and Inspire Courage round 5.
PA, FF, IC, Her, Big Game Hunter: 1d20 + 13 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 4 + 1 = 312d6 + 15 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 15 + 2 + 2 = 24

Eamch finds an instant to at his allies from the corner of his eye. Seeing them making better progress than he, he continues to distract the priestess as best he can.

"If you want to touch me like that, you should buy me a couple of drinks first!" With a sly wink, he presses his attack again. Flurry of blows with power attack and stunning fist attempt on the first attack only. If it connects, a DC 19 fort save is required to avoid being stunned for one round.

Damage 1d10 + 3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 4 + 2 = 14

Notes: This round exhausts Eamch's daily uses of stunning fist. This is his last round of being sickened as well.

Two more arrows speed towards the Drow Priestess.

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 15 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 4 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 4 + 2 = 20

Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 4 + 2 = 20

Again Taurven closes to striking range and lashes out with his sword.

crit confirmation: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 31

damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 - 2 = 10

Karla and Tauven destroy the ogre attacking them, while Gargamal fires and miss.

Eamch, punch connect, but his concentration vanished, as just the first punch was made to stun his enemies.

==//==

The last ogre attack Eamch once more.

Atk: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 2 = 19
Dmg: 2d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 9 + 6 = 23

but it's not enough to hit.

The cleric takes a step back and yells

"Dodge this!!" as a column of flames erupts near Eamch.

Spellcraft DC 20 to indentify the spell as Flame Strike

Dmg: 10d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 3, 6, 3, 6, 4, 2, 4) = 43 Reflex DC 20

Karla steps over the fallen ogres with heavy steps to get closer to the priestess and her bodyguard. Bones crack under her feet as she points at her with her sword: "Dodge my wrath!" she shouts as she keeps her allies bolstered and unleashes holy energies around her and the last ogre.

Maintain Aura and Inspire Courage round 6. Cast Holy Smite.
Damage to evil: 4d8 ⇒ (7, 4, 8, 8) = 27 and blinded for 1 round; Will DC 18 for half damage and no blindness.

Again arrows fly from the ranger's bow to strike the evil drow priestess.

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 15 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 4 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 4 + 2 = 22

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 4 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 4 + 2 = 17

Taurven puts his sword back in its scabbard. He quickly recites the healing words, as he touches Karla briefly on the shoulder.

Cure lt. wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Posted before looking at the map. That won't work.

Taurven scabbards his sword and looses an arrow at the Drow priestess.

Comp long bow: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Confirmation: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 71d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Longbow is x3 :)

Reflex save 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12. With improved evasion, Eamch takes half damage.

Eamch is already preparing his glib reply when the column of flame comes down. Dozens of irreverent, sarcastic and biting remarks zip through his mind, but his body is not fast enough. He manages to avoid the worst of the blast, but his skin is still blistered, red and raw in places. He looks up at the dark priestess, knowing he might die in this next moment, but all he can think to say is "You burned my coat! I love this coat!"

With that, he leaps at her.

To hit 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 2 - 2 = 25
Damage 1d10 + 3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 4 + 2 = 15

Damage 1d10 + 3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 4 + 2 = 15

Damage 1d10 + 3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 4 + 2 = 10

If the priestess goes down, any remaining attacks with target the ogre.

Taurven and Gargamal, firing with deadly accuracy kill the priestess while Karla and Eamch group in the remaining ogre, and before the brute has a change to finish off Eamch, he dies under an avalanche of punches and kicks.

Without losing any time, you go about searching the dead bodies, since money after all, even from a bad guy, is still money. Better yet, is evil money turned to a good cause, and the cause in this particular moment is getting more money.

The total sum of what can be found is this;

• +1 mithral shirt of exceptionally fine texture and quality. Black threads of spider silk appear to have been woven in among the metal rings. It sheds an unusual magic aura, as if the item is more than it seems.

• masterwork dagger
  
• light mace
  
• gloves of Dexterity +2
  
• periapt of Wisdom +2

• 8 silvered arrows
  
• Silver Pieces: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 3, 1, 5) = 20
  

Lithara, the drow priestess also kept a detailed journal. She writes little about herself and her activities; her writings chronicle larger, broader topics. She details the worship of Lolth, the religion, rites, and services. Her entries also reveal a wealth of information about the political and social life of drow among the upper classes.
Most of the personal information about Lithara and her life appear as margin notes among drawings and doodles. In the last entry, she has made the following notes in the margin: Rule-of-Three of Sigil intrigues me as few others have. As he would say: a riddle, an enigma, a puzzle. Regardless of his ultimate loyalty (impossible to determine), he would make a fine sacrifice to honor the Spider Queen.

Even in the night, their trail is easy to follow. Suvival DC 8
