Good call Navorn, that's what the Acrobatics were going to be about ..

A few of the party start to slip on the greased surfce under the webbing, but Navorn dispels the slickness and they regain their footing. Everyone is coughing, but some hear something beyong the smoke

Perception 12 or better:

Spoiler:
Over the crackling of the oil fire the meeping and shuffling of kobolds can be heard. It sounds like more than the two that escaped the webbing


Male Dwarf Fighter 3

Perception: 1d20=18

"More are coming!"


Male Dwarf Cleric 1 (favoured class)

Sondergang quickly moves over the barricade and begins to strain at the Ballista..."Quick we'll turn this and give them a taste of their own medicine shall we..come on Navorn lend a hand lad"


Bribes always welcome

The ballista is set on small wheels, so it should only take about two rounds to make it do a 180. If you wish to crank it, that will take a full-round action for two people.

Blind-shot arrows: 1d20=6, 1d20=9, 1d20=16, 1d20=11

Several arrows come whizzing out of the smoke, but none come near to the party


Male Dwarf Cleric 1 (favoured class)

bump


Bribes always welcome

The chittering grows louder as the group strains with the ballista

Actions folks?


Male Elf Rogue3 (favoured class)

Divel waits for the smoke to clear a little and the ballista to skewer out at the kobolds.

He keeps the arrow notched to his cheek and slowly counts down. Standing just behind the front rows, he ignores the small arrows coming back.

The Exchange

Male Human Sorceror 3

Merzhan begins to hurl fire bolts into the smoke and webbing, each time firing at a different spot.

1 per round 1d20+2=15, 1d6+1=2, 2d4=7 1st round.

One kobold takes 2d4 fire per round as web fire speads. With each shot tat hits add 1 square to the spread per round.

%roll for shooting blind 1d100=51


Male Dwarf Cleric 1 (favoured class)

Sondergang continues to swing the ballista round


Bribes always welcome

Initiatives Rd 3
Svetla: 20 [pending]
Navorn: 19 [pending]
Divel: 18 [shoot and pink]
Ingrahild: 15 [pending]
Merzhan: 15 [firing into web]
Borondon: 15 [pending]
Sondergang: 13 [moving ballista]
Kobolds: 7 [attacking]

Sondergang strains to shift the large ballista around, hampered by small chunks of webbing and corpse pieces on the tunnel floor. Merzhan fires flame bolts into the buring web, further firing it up and the cries of the trapped kobolds raise in volume.

I think I have everyone down here for the current. If I have gotten something wrong let me know.


Male Dwarf Fighter 3

Borondon hunkers down behind his shield, eagerly waiting for the ballista to turn and begin firing.

Total defense

If any kobolds approach the ballista he will try to intercept them.


Male Human 3rd

Sorry , can I see the koblods?[ If I can and they are charging us, but we are not I'll grease em.


Female Dwarf Cleric 3 (Favoured Class)

Ingra advances under Abadar's guidance entropic shield and Sanctuary


Male Elf Rogue3 (favoured class)

Divels thinks he sees something in the smoke and mists, but he didn't. An arrow flies off wildly bouncing off the ceiling.

Attack roll 4+6=10, Damage=8pts


Bribes always welcome

Apologies for the delay. Been a rough couple of days

The smoke still clogs the hallway, and another few arrows come out of the haze to strike at you

Arrows: 1d20=7, 1d20=8, 1d20=13, 1d20=5, 1d20=6, 1d20=11

The arrows fly about, hitting nothing

Sondergang gets the ballista turned about

Who's helping him crank it? It's a two-man operation.

I'll post an updated map tonight, Jah willing


Bribes always welcome

>>UPDATED MAP<<

Sound out if I've put you in the wrong spot, I am assuming everyone is approaching the ballistae area. The flames are the webbing firing up.


Male Dwarf Fighter 3

Borondon helps Sondergang crank the ballista.

"Let 'er fly!"


Bribes always welcome

Not so fast, Speedy ..

Borondon helps in turning the cranky giant crossbow around, clearing kobold bits and webbing from its squealing casters.

A lot of kobold squealing is going on behind the smoky fire of the web blaze

NEW ROUND!

Post actions, this round the ballista will be turned, then one round to crank it, then it will be ready to fire.


Female Dwarf Cleric 3 (Favoured Class)

With entropic shield AND Sanctuary cast Ingra advances with the group or not, she is intent of facing the spell casters, and distracting attacks away from her companions who are reading the ballista


Male Dwarf Cleric 1 (favoured class)

Setting the siege engine down firmly Sondergang begins to crank the machine. his forge hardened muscles straining as the ropes tighten inch by inch


Male Human 3rd

Navorn stands ready for an oncoming attack as his companions ready the weapon

Holding action, will attack anything that comes out of the smoke

The Exchange

Male Human Sorceror 3

Mezhan fires another bolt into the webbing.
Attack,miss chance, damage 1d20+2=16, 1d100=91, 1d6+1=4

3 squares will ignite this round with any kobolds in them taking 2d4=5 damage


Bribes always welcome

As Sondergang and Borondon get the ballista turned Merzhan sets the last few smoke-obscured webs on fire. The squeals of cooking kobolds mix with the swelling meeps of more beyond the smoky blaze. Six arrows come out of the smoke

1d20=20, 1d20=18, 1d20=14, 1d20=1, 1d20=16, 1d20=7

OK, random rolling who gets the arrows ...

Svetla: 1
Navorn: 2
Divel: 3
Ingrahild: 4
Merzhan: 5
Borondon: 6
Sondergang: 7

Arrow 1 1d7=5, 2 1d7=5, 3 1d7=4, 4 1d7=6, 5 1d7=4, 6 1d7=3

Rolling concealment miss % on the two possibles on Merzhan:

1d100=95, 1d100=87

Yikes!

Crit confirm:
1d20=1

Uhh..nope.

Aaaannnd the damage:

1d4=1, 1d4=4

Merzhan is struck by two shafts whizzing out of the smoky tunnel.

Anyone want to do anything else this round, speak up, otherwise I'll assume it's a new round. Sondergang and Borondon get the ballista cranked and primed this upcoming round, then they can fire the next (joy!).


Bribes always welcome

Merzhan: 15 [pending]
Borondon: 15 [Cranking ballista]
Sondergang: 13 [Cranking ballista]
Kobolds: 7 [attacking]

Sondergang and Borondon begin whirling the ballista's ratchet. The acrid smoke of the fire is irritating everyone's eyes, but small vents in the tunnel ceiling seem to be wicking some of the smoke away, bit by bit. The Kobolds beyond the smoke seem to be holding their ground

Next round ballista can be fired. Post actions and we can go from there.


Male Dwarf Cleric 1 (favoured class)

Sondergang hears the ratchet of the BVallista click into its final notch and turns to pick up the bolt and fit it to the machine.

""READY" he shouts motioning for Bordon to pull the lever

see get the fighter to fire the thing he has better bonuses..can we spell Metagame children


Male Dwarf Fighter 3

"AYE!" Borondon releases the lever with glee.

Ranged attack: 1d20+4=6

So much for that theory...


Male Dwarf Cleric 1 (favoured class)

the curse of IC strikes again


Male Elf Rogue3 (favoured class)

Now that the dwarves have had their fun, Divel steps forwards until he is out of the smoke, dodging left and right.

"Come on, do you want to live forever!?"

Divel moves up and goes full defensive for +4 to his AC, AC25.

He sticks a tongue out at the many kobolds.


Bribes always welcome

The large ballista shaft vanishes into the smoke. A surprised cry echoes back, but no yelp of pain. Divel decides to advance, calling back to the others to follow

Actions guys?


Male Human 3rd

Sorry, can we see them or still hidden by smoke?


Bribes always welcome
Navorn wrote:

Nope still hidden. Despite the long fight, it hasn't been all that long Tharkad-wise


Male Human 3rd

Fallowing Divel steps Navron puts his shield up and heads into the smoke

Full defense


Male Dwarf Cleric 1 (favoured class)

Sondergang hefts his hammer two handed...

"Let's break some heads"

He steps forward after the others


Male Dwarf Fighter 3

Borondon kicks the ballista then follows Sondergang.


Bribes always welcome

OK, I'll give the others a chance to chime in, then tomorrow I will assume everyone is advancing to meet the kobolds.

The sounds of the kobolds echo down the corridor. Eight arrows fly out from the fog

Svetla:1d20=19, 1d100=43, 1d4=3, Svetla: 1d20=14, 1d100=37, 1d4=3,Sondergang: 1d20=5, 1d100=100, 1d4=1, Borondon: 1d20=1, 1d100=70, 1d4=4, Svetla: 1d20=8, 1d100=27, 1d4=1, Navorn: 1d20=8, 1d100=92, 1d4=2, Ingra: 1d20=8, 1d100=18, 1d4=4, Borondon: 1d20=20, 1d100=33, 1d4=1

Svetla: 1
Navorn:2
Divel: 3
Ingrahild:4
Merzhan: 5
Borondon: 6
Sondergang: 7

1d7=1, 1d7=1, 1d7=7, 1d7=6, 1d7=1, 1d7=2, 1d7=4, 1d7=6

Well that was a whole lotta nothing :P

The arrows whiz past harmlessly as the party advances..


>>NEW MAP<<


Bribes always welcome

The party advances and sees a mass of kobolds past the choking smoke of their barbequed brothers

Someone roll me a new group initiative please!


Female Dwarf Cleric 3 (Favoured Class)

Ingra takes the full defense action. Then, she walks (like I have been trying for the last 3 rounds) to Y 35, behind the enemy spell casters. Ingra yells in a challenge, "Come and try to break dwarven steel"

Ingra is also under the protection of santuary and entopic shield

The Exchange

Group initiative=4, ahem.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were walking through the kobolds. Plus everyone seemed to be waiting on the ballista firing. Mea Culpa

Ingra wades in the packed masses of kobolds, trying to get at the distant shaman and his hulking lieutenant.


Male Human 3rd

Nevron moves forward to attack the Koblods in the front ranks

If I can will move and attack y-28

Hit 22, damage 5

Confirm 18, damage 7

If confirmed that 12 damage


Male Dwarf Cleric 1 (favoured class)

Sondergang waits for an opening...

On my initiative move and attack the first available Kobold I can reach

1d20+4=24, 1d8+3=4

confirm

1d20+4=21, 1d8+3=5

9 damage total

A mighty blow of the clerics hammer slams into a kobolds head.


Bribes always welcome

Initiatives (Tharkad-Kul):
Svetla: 11
Navorn: 10
Divel: 9
Kobolds: 8
Ingrahild:6
Merzhan: 6
Borondon: 6
Sondergang: 4

Both Sondergang and Navorn's weapons seem thirsty for kobold blood. They both flatten one. Ingra is surrounded by kobolds, as they ready themselves to strike at her

I have to do a bit of research on Ingra's status with buffs and wading into the mass of kobolds. Will post update tomorrow


Male Elf Rogue3 (favoured class)

Divel takes a shot at one of the free kobolds, trying to avoid the cover that other monsters and party provide, he aims for the neck.

"Better." as the arrow streaks towards its target.

Attack roll 18+6-4(cover)=20, Damage=6pts.

The elf reaches into his quiver and feels around for one of his arrows. The quiver is beginning to get a touch empty.
