GMF's Shattered Star (Inactive)

Game Master Fanguar

Rhesus ignores the statue and instead counts seats at the tables, twice to make sure he gets it right.

"Maybe 16 in here. How many we killed? Clem, you're good at that stuff, how many have we killed?"

Spasi looks at Rhesus.

"You know, Rhesus, I think you're right. I think we missed that one corridor back over here. Might be more of them down there," Spasi points to the corridor to B18/19.

"Let's see if there is another way up or down that way. Might be a where the shard is. Probably is, that is."

Spasi leads the group to B18/19.

B18

Orderly stack of crates and sack fill this store room. One of the sacks of grain has been pulled down and torn open. A pack of four donkey rats are noisily munching on the spilled grain. As your scent washes over them, they hiss and turn towards you teeth bared.

Spasi tries to take out a rat with a crossbow bolt, then reloads.

"Take that, Rat!" Spasi says after his awesome hit.

You make quick work of the rats and soon their blood is mingling with the spilled grain on the floor.

Searching the room, you find several weeks worth of provisions. Amongst the mundane fodder, you find a small box of exotic spices (50gp)

With nothing left on this floor, you return to the stairwell and descend. At the bottom of the stairs you find a short corridor that ends in a closed door.

"Good job Clem. We'll make a warrior out of you yet! And Spasi, you hit something! We should've come to this room first, much easier don't you think?"

************

"Think it's trapped?"

"You see that, Rhesus?! I skewered that rat like the kind you like to buy down in the grub district. I got that one good, huh?" Spasi chats up Rhesus after his awesome display of archery and helpfulness.

"Trapped? Nah...lemme looksee," Spasi answers before he even looks.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 Perception

"You did real good Spasi, Toffitt would be proud. Think maybe we should take some alive? If we sold bigger rats we could make good money."

Rhesus watches as the talkative would be bowman attempts to search the door.

No traps detected. Not locked.

Spasi claps Rhesus on the back and points him to the door.

"It's totally safe. Just open it. Ain't nothing to worry about," Spasi claims with a smile.

Bibic gets a little nervous at Spasi's smile, but he nods in agreement none the less.

Bow at the ready, he peers into the next room over the shoulders of the front line when the door is opened.

Noya ready for any surprise that might come from the doorway or happening beyond the doorway.

Rhesus looks askance at Spasi's assurances but opens the door anyway.

Probably get more swords in the ribs for this.

"Twang!!!

A x-bow bolt and an arrow fly at Rhesus:

A massive pair of double doors dominates the western end of this spearhead-shaped chamber. These doors are made of a silvery metal decorated with images of burning eyes that look inward toward two sets of runes carved onto the face of each door. The walls bear the remains of complex mosaics that once covered much of them, but which has crumbled and collapsed in heaps of colored tiles and debris around the edges of the room.

A wererat, a TG ans a pair of donkey rats fill the centre of the room primed for violence. The wererat snarls "You will pay for your intrusion!

Spasi delights to find the door not to be trapped, slapping Rhesus on the back.

"See, not trapped at all!" Spasi says confidently. "I tolds yeah. Say might want to watch out for them snipers though."

Spasi generates some magic, casting snowball on the Tower Girl, hoping to take her out and leave the biggie for others.

Spasi tries again to ice the TowerGirl, certain that he can't miss again. If the TG is down, he will target the wererat.

"I got her this time! Don't you worry!" Spasi says confidently. "I tolds yeah!"

Clement wounds the TG right before Spasi blows her out of her boots and she collapses in a twitching heap on the floor.

Rhesus might blow has little effect on the wererat and she sneers at his effort.

Heavy Mace, aid DC10: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

No aid this next round. If we're fighting a lycanthrope, Clement will likely be taking aid actions the rest of the fight since he knows Noya and Rhesus are the ones who will truly be bringing the supernatural beast down.
