I actually said you were healing up in between, you just need to track wand charges! (or use the potions you found)

Ghosting Ebon

"Let's stop and rest for now. 14 hours on the run and it might even take more than that to find the minotaur. After a bit of sleep I might ask Gorum if he can grant me some of Deadeye's Lore"

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

with the additional +4 from deadeye's lore safest thing is for Ebon to take 10 and needing 2 out of 3 assists. If Muluk also casts a deadeye's lore chances increase to about 80% succes with no chance of failure.

Just FYI, Muluk can't cast anything... yet.

Succes: The jaw-rattling vibrations cease as a giant, bronze door appears in the passageway ahead.

It's been about 30 hours since you went on your way, but it seems you have reached the centre of the maze!

Good golly!! Best re-cast mage armour before we pass through the door!

Made it though. Congrats in Star #5 Auke!

Talwin carefully inspects the door, looking it over for traps or other hidden dangers, using detect magic for a full 3 rounds as well.

Take 10 on Perception, or take 20 if possible.

The comforting embrace of the bronze door ahead slips further away. The world spins as colors and sounds blend together into a sickening maelstrom. The chaos passes just as quickly, but the passage is suddenly gone and instead there is now only a scrap of rock, surrounded by inky blackness dotted with distant points of light. Fractured sounds, like whispered curses, float across the darkness.

Cool map!! We are in trouble now!

Trying to steady himself, Targost casts gravity bow and prepares for combat.

Know: Dungeoneering (Talwin): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

"I sense no evil from this thing. Perhaps we can parley?" Muluk shouts to be heard.

"I don't know how it isn't evil, but parley is not going to be possible. That thing is an aberration, it thirsts for the flesh of intelligent creatures and can drive you mad!"

I haven't had a chance to log into roll 20, so I don't really understand the map situation.

Thanks for the link! Based on your description, we can cross the chasm safely, being weightless, but just shouldn't end our turn there?

Correct

Cool, thanks!

Talwin moves over to the center and activates aberration bane, striking at the hideous mass.

Should be able to get SW of the post, which is just in range for my longspear. 2 squares NE of baddie.

Talwin moves to the thing and tries to hit it, but fails.

The multi-mouthed monster starts babbling in a weird and foreign language.

It emits a stream of acidic spittle at Targost (provoking)

To Hit (ranged touch): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

The acid burns in his face, but Targost manages to retain his eyesight!

Ghosting Ebon

"The moon tastes like blue fish, see it crawl out of the tree"

Any confused character who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn, as long as it is still confused when its turn comes.

Talwin must attack the thing, but is currently grappled by it, so he can't use his longspear. He drops his longspear and draws his odds is mace, even=dagger: 1d2 ⇒ 1 mace and attacks!

To Hit: 1d20 + 6 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 2 + 2 = 23 hits!

Ebon
Targost

Muluk sighs and walks across the chain to the center platform, not quite able to reach the combatants this turn.

I think Targost's turn was missed

Taking aim, even with the pain of the acid still burning his face, Targost fires at the weird monster.

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 = 7

Ah, yes, I switched Talwin and Targost again...

Talwin shoots and misses.
Muluk moves toward sthe combat

The creature gibbers again.

Will
Muluk: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 succces!
Ebon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 succces!
Talwin: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 succces!

but everyone is able to resist listening to its maddening words.

Grapple: 1d20 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 5 = 28

The creature engulfs Talwin. The inquisitor is trapped in the creature's body, where several of its mouths continue to feed and drain blood.

damage: 6d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 3, 2, 3) = 18 plus 2 con damage

The creature then spittles again at 1 Targost, 2 Muluk, 3 Ebon: 1d3 ⇒ 1 Targost.

To Hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 Hits! Fortsave Targost: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 and this time the acid is too stong and Targost is blinded!

Ok...odd question, but will firing a magic missile still hit the creature even though I am blinded?

Nope, you need to see the target

Talwin shoots and misses.

Correction, due to grappling and point blank it actually does hit. It deals damage, but not as much as expected.

Ghosting Ebon

Ebon jumps over to the central platform, draws his earthshaker and rages!

"By Gorum, let my friend go!"

To Hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 Hit! (no crits possible :-( )
Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (6, 1) + 9 = 16

Being engulfed by the creature counts as being swallowed whole

Talwin grabs his dagger and calls down Abadar's Judgment, seeking justice. He tries to cut free!

Attack, bane, grappled, justice: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 - 2 + 2 = 29
Damage?: 1d4 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (6, 3) = 13

3/8 rounds of bane left.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Talwin is able to slash an opening in the creature big enough to get himself free! The hole in the creature closes as it simply flows together again after Talwin gets out.

One thought on bane, haven't had a chance to look up. It makes your weapon's enhancement bonus count as 2 higher. Does this add to the base damage like a normal enhancement nonus would, in addition to providing the extra 2d6? I always leave it out to be safe, but this thing is tough enough to make me consider all possible damage!

-Posted with Wayfinder

Grabbing at his waterskin, Targost squirts water over his face, attempting to remove the burning acid and clear his eyes.

Muluk moves in and attacks!

To Hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 Misses.
