[GD6] Module: Master of the Fallen Fortress [Tier 1-2] (Inactive)

Game Master hiyami

@GM: Did the skeletons have a different amount of HP? Buck and Myth both did 5 bludgeoning damage to each skeleton, his dropped but mine didn't...just trying to see if I can save the damage from Corbett and Yagajimoro since they wouldn't have been next to it when it exploded if Myth's shot dropped it...

@Brock: You're right, but since that was my error, I won't hold that against you. The gods were watching out for him or something, eh? c:
@Myth: Yes, just by one!

Myth nods at Abolt. "Take it...think you're the only one that can put it to good use...

Curious...there are no doors leading to the northern wing...nor to the collapsed eastern wing..."

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

As the flaming skeleton explodes into pieces, Corbett turns away and holds his buckler up to protect his head. A searing pain washes over the side of his body, and he gasps for a breath as the air around him feeds the fireball before him.

In an second, the pile of bones disappears from before him, and he's left with a parting gift in a rather nasty burn. Once Corbett is able to regain his breath, he belts out an agonized grunt. He then takes his waterskin, and douses his singed arm to relieve a little bit of the pain.

"Just a burn. I'm not above saying it hurts like the seven hells, but I'll be fine for now."

"I have this wand... anyone know how to use it? I haven't mastered that skill yet." wand cure light, no umd

Brock looks to Jack and his proffered wand. "I have such skill, if it is a healing wand."

Brock and Buck are fine. Not sure how the wand rolling goes for everyone.

just use whatever is needed and let me know how many charges to mark off

Yagajimoro offers a deep bow. "You have my deepest gratitude. I look forward to completing this humble adventure with you so that some day I too can afford such a glorious magical stick."

Yagaji can also use the wand for others. He uses 1 charge on himself. (it's his first scenario, so many thanks for helping out.)

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Once the group is healed up, Brock heads back to the spiral staircase.

"Upward?"

-Posted with Wayfinder

Myth nods. "Sounds good to me...we ready to go?"

Abolt does a final lap around the rooms. "As long as there is nothing else on this level we might as well."

Perceptions: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Corbett snorts, spits on the scorch mark where the skeleton once stood, then heads with the group upstairs.

As you continue up the stairs, a familiar smell begins to filter into the air. It isn't until you get up to the next floor and try the door that you realize why.

Crude bunks line the walls of this room, which is filled with the nauseating stench of troglodytes. There are three/four/five troglodytes here, each of them turning to eye the intruders, their hands moving to their weapons.

Please roll fort saves or gently inform me that you made one earlier.

Brock wrinkles his nose at the stench, but resisting it earlier seemed to make it more bearable this time. Gripping his spear, he shouts "We've got the one on the right, sic him Buck" as he hustles into the room behind his streaking wolf.

Attacking will leave me exposed, I hipe my teammates will be able to take up the slack and watch my left.

As he moves he focuses his will and feels his muscles swell with the overwhelming strength of a charging bull.

Made my save earlier in the day. Corbett is used to foul smells, most of which usually are emitted by him.

Yagajimoro steps into the room and lashes out with his blade at the red beast.

as I recall, Jack made his save earlier.. I can't find the post tho

Jack wrinkles his pointy nose at the stench, but seems a bit inured to it now and steps into the chamber with the trogs. He aims an arrow at one of the trogs.

to hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
dmg if hits: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Freshly wounded, Yago's foe turns on him, teeth bared, but the club thuds uselessly against his armor. Wary of the wolf that distracts him from the larger party. His club thuds solidly against Buck's side. The third troglodyte edges around the room warily, coming up behind the wolf to help land a more solid blow.

Falco moves into the room and creates a small cloud of acid on top of the one of the nasty brutes {blue}.

Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 DC13 to half

Jack shoots green again...

to hit: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 - 4 = 9
dmg if hits: 1d4 ⇒ 2

But the close quarters makes aiming so very difficult.

Myth fires at the green trog...

Shortbow: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 4 = 18

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Blue Reflex: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

Abolt's target jumps a little at the sudden sting of acid, but otherwise shakes (not unlike a dog) to get rid of the sensation. Myth's arrow lands in something of a vital spot just a bit below the abdomen and the reptilian creature has a brief full body cringe before its yellow eyes roll back and it drops to the ground, the arrow getting a bit more thoroughly stabbed into place.

Brock roars in rage as he sees the trogs gang up on his wolf, then grins savagely as Myth takes out the trog to his right.

Unable to aid his companion with a trog in his face, Brock stabs visciously at the trog threatening himself and the paladin.

Attack - RED: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Buck, for his part, attempts to knaw the leg off of the trog attacking him.

Buck attack - BLUE: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Bite damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Yagaji attempts to finish the red trog.

power attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 1 = 5
slashing dmg: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13

make that "lamely attempts"

Corbett wades through the melee to the back of the room, towards a troglodyte that has been forced to stand on one of the beds to avoid the snapping jaws of Buck.

Longspear (two handed, power attack): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

pretty sure you might get a bonus for trip, sadly I doubt it will help

-Posted with Wayfinder

Yeah, I got greedy and power attacked for the first time. I think it's a tradition for all my martial characters to miss on their first power attack. :P

åooc¨swedish mode engaged + feel free to give me pre+emptive rolls for attacks. Iäll assume you are aiming for an enemy that isnät downed since Iäll be a bit late this time öAö

Preemptive rolls.

Buck AoO: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Bite : 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Trip?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Bite: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Trip: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Brock will attack RED unless he's dead, then move and stab BLUE
Brock Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

That should do er

Yagaji continues his preemptive attack.
he'll move to flank red with 5' step if he can
power attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 1 = 16+2?
slashing dmg: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14

Longspear (two handed): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

(If there's still an enemy up by the time Corbett's next turn rolls around.)

Brock's spear bounces uselessly off of the troglodyte's scales, but Buck manages to get his jaws solidly clamped around his target. The troglodyte (blue), for his part, goes sprawling as he yips at the rather unpleasant sensation of teeth making themselves at home in his leg.

Yagajimoro nearly trips himself, distracted by the clatter, and his weapon moves through empty air. Corbett, though, advances a bit casually and, happy as you could please, jabs his spear right through the troglodyte, pinning the creature to the bed. It takes him a moment to retract his spear, but at the end of it, the gurgling troglodyte lays dead.

The last troglodyte makes for the door, ducking Brock's opportunistic jab, but taking the full brunt of Yagajimoro's. He manages only to turn the handle before falling upon the door, pressing it open with his corpse.

In the room, another troglodyte stands beside a brazier of hot coals, its acrid smoke mixing with the ever-present troglodyte stench. A few knives, pokers, and other metal implements lie atop a rusty iron box nearby.

The troglodyte growls low in his throat, feet apart. It grips a javelin in its clawed hands, but otherwise appears... somewhat surprised.

Without so much as pausing, Brock calls to Buck and the two advance, Buck leaping forward to take up a position behind their startled foe even as Brock stabs into the creature.

Corbett, you can keep the rolls, but please declare actions (since there's a new enemy now).

Myth moves into the room and fires at the flat-footed trog...

Shortbow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Jack moves into the room so he can see what's going on, but unfortunately, it takes all his effort to move that far...

"Looks like your the last and your brothers made me gag before so EAT ACID."

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Abolt grins. I hope I sounded tough. Not really my normal roll.

Yagajimoro moves in to strike.

power attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 1 = 16
slashing dmg: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7

"Perhaps you and your kind would have a better outlook on life if you bathed more often? Personal hygiene matters!"

Myth's bolt barely misses even as Abolt's acid finds its way practically into the troglodyte's mouth. He was spitting it out when Yagajimoro slices into him, effectively ending his life.

Myth will search the room, including the dead trog...

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Mythryndyr finds a rusty iron key! Also, digging through the equally rusty iron chest reveals...

Myth nods his head upon finding the key and opening the chest. "A Wayfinder...this belongs to our missing Pathfinder...and the other contents are probably his gear as well...if he's alive, he must be nearby..."

Myth takes the key and checks out the door to the northeast...if locked, he'll try the key on it and open the door, after checking it for traps...

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Brock takes a moment to catch his breath as the final trog goes down before attending his wounded wolf

"Buck is in a bad way, nothing life threatening but without healing he will ve of little use in any future fighting" it is here I lament not picking up CLW seeing that the wolf is comforted as much as possible, Brock checks the chest as Myth is pawing through it, and follows him to the final door in the room, spear ready.

Perception : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

When you investigate this room, the door swings open and reveals a prisoner lying in the northeast corner, bound in manacles. He flinches at the sound of the door, but then sits up, squaring his jaw. From the looks of him, he’s been beaten rather thoroughly and hasn’t exactly been feasting. It’s only after a few seconds pass that he realizes that you aren’t, in fact, troglodytes and his eyes widen.

“Are you-- are you Pathfinders?” he asks, getting to his feet. He moves with ease despite the manacles. He examines each of you carefully with his somewhat guarded eyes, clearly uncertain whether you’re here to help or harm. Once satisfied, he nods.

“I’m Balenar. Balenar Forsend,” he introduces himself, bowing. Straightening, he grimaces. “I’d give it a bit more flourish, but these make it difficult.” He holds out the rusty, clanking manacles. “You, uh… Wouldn’t happen to be able to get me out of these, would you?”
DC 20 Disable Device or DC 26 Strength check or just use the key! c:

Myth uses the key to free the man...

"We are indeed Pathfinders. We were sent to find you...I'm Myth and the man behind me is Brock. What happened to you? Were these the last of the troglodytes or do more await us upstairs?"

Balenar rubs at his wrists, but gives an audible sound of relief. "Thanks for that," he says, before considering Myth's words. "Glad Valsin knew to be on the lookout!"

"I don't know how many you've come up against yet," he points out, but his eyes are considering when he adds, "But as far as I could tell there were... four, five... six -- at least seven distinct troglodytes that came to, ah, visit me."

He rotates his shoulders a bit, twists his torso, and then exhales heavily.

"You wouldn't have happened to find my wayfinder, would you?" he asks. "I can replace most of my kit once we get back to Absalom, but my wayfinder was a gift..."

Myth nods. "It's over in the chest...along with the rest of your gear, I presume..."

Yagaji tries to hide his disappointment as he holds out the masterwork studded leather armor to Balenor.

bluff check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

"Need any help putting this on, Sir Forsend? Perhaps we could aid you in completing your original mission? I am Yagajimoro Iodoma, servant of Iomedae and proud member of the Society of Pathfinders."

Brock listens to the prisoner as he looks over his wolf and does some mental counting.

"We have dispatched six trogs and the stairs continued up yet (I think?) do we complete exploration of this tower, or leave with our missing pathfinder intact? That was our task, was it not?"

He prepares to head to the stairs and fi ish their explorations.
