You probably need to set the edit permissions so everyone can edit the image

I think I fixed it finally, let me know if I still failed :)

As Thorakiz walks into the cave, he notices the pile of rubble, but doesn't pay much attention to it. He walks past, and when he does so, Dire Rats,

I am gonna put Jayce on hold and PM him. The rats are gonna go, then everyone else in init can go :) sorry for the holdup all

The dire rats, once already has a taste of flesh lash out at Thorakyz a second time as he is to surprised to act.

rat 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 161d4 ⇒ 1 vs AC 14

Marvin will use freebooter's bane to grant everyone a +1/+1 against rat 1 (as my move action).

Then he will take a shot with his bow.

to hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 nevermind

Binx will cast mage armor to increase his AC to 15|14|15.

At work and posting from my tablet, so updates from me will be sporadic, and I won't be able to do anything with the map. I'll be home in a few hours, though.

no biggie Binx. I am on my phone a lot too so map is here and there for me too

Responding first in surprise and then in anger, Thorakiz draws out the huge sword at his back, and swings it ferociously at the nearest dire rat.

Fort Saves

disease dex & con in 1 day: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Jayce, seeing his allies buff up, takes this time to call forth arcane energy and pelt one of the rats.

magic missile @ 2: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The bolt of magic strike true, and the rats slumps the the floor dead.

Oh dear Lulu, our big friend seems to be fairing poorly. Lets see if we can offer some help shall we?

Eb shuffles up behind Thorakiz and throws some pungent smelling herbs at him while mumbling something in a gravelly voice.

Healing Hex: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

He watches the wicked rat bites knit shut and fade almost completely. He nods in satisfaction. That's done the trick.[b/] He ducks Thorakiz's elbow as the orc swings wildly an a rat. Of course it would be easier if you weren't moving around so much the old man mutters.

Binx rolls his eyes as Thorakiz misses a rat. Pulling a wand out of his sleeve, he stalks forward and pokes him. "Maybe now you'll stop missing!"

@Thorakiz: you just got a +20 to your next attack roll. Don't roll a 1. :-)

Jayce, will attempt to lob an acid ball at the rat not in melee

acid ball: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 91d3 ⇒ 2

will take rats turn when I go to lunch

Trying to hit rat 1 again (assuming it isn't dead yet).
rapid shot

to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

The ravenous rats are oblivious to the plight of the dead furry critter. The rat moves to the side to make room for the other. They both hope to take rip and tear the flesh before it.

rat 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 211d4 ⇒ 4 vs AC 14
rat 3: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 31d4 ⇒ 4 vs AC 14

on phone...rat 1 moves to occupy 2 and 3 moves to occupy 1

Thirakiz, I don't hate you I swear. Lol

be and Kiz can go :)

Updated the position of rats on the map - hope you don't mind

Eb is crestfallen as the rats tear new wounds into Thorakiz. He glares balefully at the closest rodent.

Evil Eye on rat #1, -2 to attack rolls, DC16

HP 8/16

Thorakiz roars something in orcish and slams into the nearest rat again.

Fort Saves
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

2d8 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4) + 12 + 1 = 21

EDIT: There, I didn't roll a 1.

I wasn't planning on that encounter going so horribly bad, it was only a CR 1 which I figured would've been okay. Dice rolls were really bad there for awhile.

Marvin, takes to shots at the rat gnawing at Thorakiz. The first one, flies wide missing everything and shattering against the wall. The second one however strikes true, causing the rat to squeak in pain, but it still up. Meanwhile, Ebenezer take out a wand, and taps Thorakiz on the back, telling him that his aim will be better. Thorakiz, feels his hands slip as he draws his hulking bastard sword high up in the air, but makes a slight adjustment when bringing it crashing down splattering the rat #3 into goo.

Jayce, again lobs and acid ball, at the lone rat, hoping to finish it off before it attempts to take more flesh from the Half-Orc.

acid ball: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 2 - 4 = 171d3 ⇒ 2

The ball, strikes true, causing the smell of burning, acrid flesh to fill the area for a moment at the rats slumps to the ground.

COMBAT OVER!

Binx steps up to Thorakiz. "If you permit, I can heal your latest wounds."

Assuming he accepts, I'll cast infernal healing. You've got Fast Healing 1 for the next 10rds, so 10hp cured if we chill out here for a couple minutes. :-)

Thorakiz says nothing really, just releases a low feral growl that might indicate acceptance. Finally he speaks in a gruff voice and nods: "Good."

Jayce, receives a message, he reads it and apologizes to the group but he must take leave and wishes you luck with winning the hunt

The four of you, Eb; Thorakiz; Marvin; and Thackery chill out for a minute or so while the injured Half-Orc heals.

Thorakiz, while you stand there, watching the rats bites slowly close over time. You look down the hallway, and see it become a T-Junction after about 30 feet or so. The luminescent fungi vanish about halfway down the hall, so your vision goes to black the white to compensate for lack of light. yellow dot, is where light ends, unless someone produces light another way.

I have an unseen servant out holding a rock with light cast on it. It'll stay near me unless someone requests otherwise. :-)

Thorakiz shakes his head at the spellcaster. "Stay." He proceeds to move toward the darkness, his senses pricking into the more savage customs of his race. He moves quietly, so as not to attract any attention.

Stealth
1d20 ⇒ 3

Or not.

He inspects the darker parts of the cave without moving too far from the others.

Perception
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Thorakiz, how far do you move towards the T-Junction. Light ends after 10 feet from current position, then "unseen servant" light 20 feer till beginning of T

Mmm, not much of a talker, that one, Eb says to Binx, nodding to the orc. He starts to pick through the rubble in the corridor absent mindedly. So, Binx. That Chelish isn't it, he asks casually.

"That's right, " Binx answers. "I'm not a native, but it's where I've made my home. I'm from the Pathfinder Lodge there. You?"

Me? Oh, never travelled outside Absolom much until recently. Always wanted to visit Cheliax though - pay my respects. Eb purses his lips, lost in thought, then his grin snaps back into place. Where has that green fellow gotten off to? He peers after Thorakiz.

"Well he's making a hell of a racket for something that's trying to sneak around. "

"Eh, Half-Orcs have never been much good at sneaking - at least in my experience. Want me to check on him?" As Binx asks this, the scorpion tattoo on his palm peels itself off his skin and thickens. In seconds, it's become a real insect.

Move Action to call my familiar.

Well he does have rather large feet. Is that normal for his kind I wonder? What about you young master Rogers? Where do you call home?

"Yeah, never hurts to check on him, but it might be best if he doesn't know about it. As for me, I'm from Sargava. It's a bit of a ways from these parts."

"Very well." Binx whispers to the scorpion, and it scuttles off. "Sargava, huh? Never made it out that far. Nice place?"

The scorpion will go exploring and come back when it finds something of note - enemy, possible loot, a closed door, etc. When it has the option, it'll always go left.

It has Perception +4 and Stealth +15, and will Take 10/20 if possible.

"Depends on your definition of nice place. Plenty warm and tropical and all that. Bit of extra rain from Eye and all that though. "

Binx wrinkles his nose. "Well, to each his own. Give me the lush grasslands of Geb anyday."

Thackery says a few words, and after a few moments a scorpion peels from his palm and springs forth into existence. He commands it to hug the wall, and search out the complex. But most of all stay out of sight, and come back in one piece. It does as instructed.

It skitters it's way down the hall, and when forced to choose which way to go it chooses left down. It goes past a series of alcoves, not noticing anything of importance. It then comes to makeshift "shrine", more like a tombstone, with a purple glowing orb suspended above the placard. It then chooses to go left again.

It travels a few feet and is presented with a choice, the ground is rocky and the floor has a crevasse running through it, caused by time and possibly excavation. It turns arounds, and crawls back up on Binx's palm.

stealth cen: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 vs perception scorpion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

"Did you find anything?" Binx asks as his familiar returns. He focuses on the feelings of excitement the scorpion sends him. After a few seconds, he says, "Mister Stinger found somthing past the left fork up ahead. Shall we check it out?"

[ooc]sounds good to me[/b]Eb gets up and dusts himself off. Do we wait for Thorakiz?

"Either we wait for him, or go find him. Splitting up when we don't know what's going on would be dangerous. "

Sorry, Thorakiz will move into the darkness. So however far away enough he has to to do that.

no worries. At a hockey game so update will come in a few hours when I get to wifi

Mr. Stinger relays that there is a series of crevasses in a room down south from their current location. Thorakiz, takes point, as he is the most durable. He heads to the T-Junction. He peers around the corner to the right perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19, and sees a pair of skeletons slumped in the corner, of an otherwise barren room. There are small piles of rock and debris in the room, but little else.

Thorakiz then heads down the hallway, past a series of alternating small alcoves.

Perception please Thorakiz

botting Thorakiz, until he returns so we can get the game moving :)

percception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Yhorakiz, travels down the alcove hallway, and he spots something glistening the alcove to his right. He goes the check it out, cautiously, and finds the remains of a humanoid hand, with a ring on the middle finger. It is a gold band, with a princess cut ruby set in it.

appraise checks please :)

Appraise untrained: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Appraise (untrained): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Thackery stares intently at the ring for several seconds.

Casting detect magic

Binx reaches out to the weave and invokes arcane energy. He focus on the ring, and after a few moments he realizes the ring isn't magical. Ebenezer looks over the ring, the craftsmanship and the ruby set in the middle. He determines the rings value to be between 275-300 gold pieces.

The group continues to the makeshift tombstone. There is a feint purple orb floating, from a brazier hanging from the ceiling of the cavern. Upon closer inspection, the tombstone reads, Father, may your spirit rest where you lived to visit, amongst the graffiti upon the stone.

To the right, is a cave in. It looks to be passable, although it would be a little bit of an effort. difficukt terrain. To the left, is where Mr. Stinger went and was stopped. There is a crevasse, running through the room. The room is able to be navigated as well, but again, caution would have to be used as not to twist an ankle.

Which way do you dare travel?

"Looks to me like walking over rubble is safer than jumping a gap, so we might as well try that first. "

he will move over and take a look at the roof of the cave in and see if it looks like more is likely to come down.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Marvin goes to check out the rubble from the cave-in to see if it is safe to cross. He peers up into the space, looks for any negative signs. After a few moments, he decides everything is safe in regards to another possible cave-in. The ground is more annoyance and obstacle, rather than a true threat.

"I agree"

Perception checks please as you carefully cross through the rubble on the ground :)

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 derp

Apologies again for the delay.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Thorakiz sniffs the air cautiously as he crosses over the rough patch of stony rubble.
