GM_Foxy's 2nd Carrion Crown

Game Master Foxy Quickpaw

Read this. It should answer your question. And you may now remember the name as the monster gave a big broad hint about it :)

Spugnoir heals Stam with his wand.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Are they all gone? I don't know that I should come out as they seemed very attracted to me.

Looks clear.

Brother Varsk steps cautiously forward on to the bridge. Looking intently for any sign of additional creatures as he moves to join Stam.

Thank you Master Truthfinder, I am in your debt.

very interesting, I like what you said

"Nicely done friend Stam. Perhaps you are a warrior masquerading as a wizard." Darius says with a chuckle and slapping Stam on the shoulder.

Stam buckles under the blow a little, rubbing at his shoulder.

"Mayhaps but I feel not, my poor walking stick has seen better days as well."

Stam then proceeds into the room, giving the beasts clearance enough so as to not loose anything of value.

Perception of the room, anything valuable?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

This large workshop is crammed with alchemical equipment, but an explosion of some kind has ripped away the western wall, leaving a large gap in the floor and wall open, now wreathed with scaffolding. It looks as if a stone bridge once connected this building with another on the far side of the gorge, but only a slender rope bridge now hangs between the two.

This was an excellent alchemy lab, but the rust monsters ate all the metal and it is useless.

When they are sure the area is clear, Grergof pulls the chain shirt out of his pack and puts it on.

Then he helps the others search the area (but not the rust monsters) for anything of value that is salvageable.
Perception (to aid Stam): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Spugnoir pokes around the lab.
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

I found a rod here. Stamn, wanna take a look? I don't know how to decipher magic.

Spell craft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Stam will look over the rod, allowing his magic to help him ID the rod.

Ok I HAVE to buy the spell Identify, I suck at this.

There is nothing else in this building that is of interest. Obviously some alchemical reactor exploded and destroyed the wall and the bridge. And it looks like it has been some time since that happened.

You decide if and when you go on.

Grergof looks at the rope bridge with trepidation.

Then he pulls out his hemp rope and ties it around the most sturdy work table in the lab and holds up the other end. He the commands one end of the rope of climbing to tie to the loose end of the hemp rope. Then he command the lose end of the rope to tie securely around his waist.
I don't trust that bridge. Not one bit...

ok it's 90 feet from the table to the platform. We have 110 feet of combined rope, assuming we lose 10 feet to the knots/around Grergof, that gives us 100 feet.

Grergof makes a trial tug on the rope to make sure it is secure to the table and that the table will support him, then makes a trial step onto the bridge.

Assuming both seem secure, he says to the others.
I will try the bridge, you all cover me and be ready for me to fall.

Then when the others are ready, puts his buckler on his arm then, starts slowly and carefully across the rope bridge.

AC updated in stat line to reflect chain shirt and buckler

Spugnoir guards the rope and keeps his crossbow ready

Stam will take out his crossbow as well, laying a bolt in the track and keeping an eye out for anything on the other side.

"Hold on a moment, I have a spell that can help you."

Stam will set his cross bow down, pulling out his spell book and pouring over it. Once he is satisfied with the proper enunciation of the spell he walks over to Grergof.

"Relax I will make you light on your feet and you won't have to worry about falling."

Burning a reservoir point to swap out Create pit for Levitate, lasts 6 minutes.

As Grergof carefully walks over the bridge he notices a strange symbol in the middle of it. The symbol evaporates and out of nothing appears a humanoid shaped creature with black feathered wings and a fiery bow.
Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 331d8 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + (6) = 17
Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 231d8 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + (2) = 10
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Ouch. Symbol disappeared and something that hits like a house appeared... what is it? I really need to know!

Grergof calls forth the power to quickly refresh himself and then tries to back off the bridge while scanning for any evil auras. Once back in the workshop he tries to take cover behind a wall.

LoH (self): 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 1) = 9

I assume I can get off the bridge as my speed is now 30 and the mid point of the bridge is 30'

Oh bugger!

Know-Arcana: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Ffffffff

I have some tanglefoot bags that might tie it up

Spugnoir will tap Vark with the wand.
clw: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 7) + 2 = 16

Grergof successfully flees the threat and hides behind cover.

Darius readies his crossbow as Grergof moves across the bridge.

Then the winged creature appears!

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

"Gah, It's familiar but I just can't place what the thing is! Anyone else recognise it?" Darius says as he fires his crossbow bolt to give Grergof some cover while he retreats.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 5

Then drops it to draw his sword.

The Erinyes easily dodges the bolt.

K. Arcana: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

+2 from Darius, I honestly cannot roll to save my life haha

Crossbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d8 ⇒ 5

Stam fires his crossbow since he still had it in hand, setting it down afterwards.

This doesn't look like it's going to be easy to even hit that creature, much less do damage to it. As Darius and Stam stand where they can shoot, they are obviously where they can be shot.
Attack Darius: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 201d8 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (1) = 13
Attack Stam: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 231d8 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + (6) = 14
Attack Stam: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Back under cover! Maybe we can find another way, like going around and coming down the cliff.

Grergof refreshes himself again.

LoH: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4) = 14

Could it be that like that air thing, this will also disappear after a time?

He draws out his bow but only readies to shoot if the thing moves to come closer (aka moves into his line of sight and tries to get a shot at the group.)

Ready action:
Longbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Gah!" Darius yells in pain.

"Should we try wait it out?" he says holding his sword before him defensively.

"Depends on it that thing wants to wait as well." Stam wills tay hunkered down behind the wall.

Spugnoir taps Darius. Let us wait a bit. Trying to fight that thing would be like fighting the elemental, better find a different way.

CLW: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (5, 3) + 2 = 10

The Erinyes hovers over the bridge moving a bit here and there looking for someone to shoot at. But it doesn't follow into the building. After a minute or so that feels like eternity it vanishes just in the way it appeared.

After it disappears, Grergof puts his bow away and the goes back on the bridge looking to see if the symbol is still in the middle of the bridge. If it is he stops well shy of it. If not he continues across the bridge untill he sees something or he reaches the other end.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

One end of the demolished bridge clings to the cliff beneath a large building. A statue of a beautiful nymph stands next to a pair of double doors. Above the doors is a stained glass window depicting a unicorn.

Grergof is still under the effect of levitate and can easily cross the bridge. Everyone else will have to roll acrobatics if you find no measure to help you manage with the swaying rope bridge.

"I can float us all but it will drain me significantly. Grergof can just tie an extra rope on the other side for us to move our hands on while we walk. Could he not?"

Stam looks over the edge, backing up slowly.

Goid idea.
Grergof commands the rooe of climbing to untie from around his waist and tie around the nymph statue.

There. Try that.

Oh dear, I forgot to get extra rope. Umm...I can hang on someone I guess. Spugnoir will grip the rope when it comes over.

By knotting the end on his side to the gantry there is a tightened rope to hold on to which helps to level the problems of the swaying bridge. And so all make it over safe.

I leave it to you to try the door. Last door had a magic trap, Mr. Truthfinder, can you detect if there is a magic trap in this door too?

Stam will concentrate on the door, allowing his magic to infuse his sense. Detect Magic

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Spugnoir peers at the door.
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

It looks safe, but be wary.

Darius makes it across. "Grergof, I'll be right behind you." Darius says with his sword ready.

"Grergof, can you detect any evil on the other side of the door?'"

There is no evil that I can detect Mr Redgrave..

"I can open the door and step aside if needs be that way you are all ready to hit whatever may be beyond the door."

"That works. On 3."

"1"

"2"

"3!
