GMG's PBP: Crypt of the Everflame (Inactive)

Game Master Magabeus

GM: Which way is north on the map? It looks like the area to the east is the stairs we came down, so I'm guessing that the right side of the map is North?

"But these passages bend..." says Morthak thinking. "Does the inscription mean east of here? Or the eastern passage? They may not be the same thing."

I have no particular preference which way.

The eastern passage begins to slope down after leaving the chamber, water has collected in the corridor, growing deeper as the passage continues. This is the source of the dripping noise, as the ceiling appears to be leaking in many places. The corridor splits, you can go either left or right.

East sounds good...perc: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

north is the stairway we came down

yep, east is down on the map. You see the fork in the corridor there, so I need you to decide which way you go.

"East, then. We can always double back if need be."

I have interpreted that as the right side of the map, i.e. you go left. I also assume Tyrek checks for traps at doors with a take 20.

The water grows deeper, eventually reaching a depth of just over 2 feet. At the end of the corridor is a swollen wooden door, barely contained by its decaying frame. Tyrek checks it for traps and does not find any. He does let you know that he heard the croaking of frogs from behind the door.

"croaking? Lets have some frog legs then!" and readies her weapon

"Yess..." Tyrek agrees, hefting his axe as he pushes the door open with one clawed foot.

Vivian follows behind with tick tock and scratches his snout.

I bet you'd like some frog legs wouldn't you?

With some effort you manage to push open the door. The room is filled with water, probably as deep as the outside corridor. The chamber is in an advanced state of decay, with a gaping hole in the ceiling admitting a constant trickle of water. The three stone sarcophagi in this room are almost completely covered in a thick carpet of moss and fungus. On top of each sarcophagus sits a giant frog, that gazes at you. It is not difficult to make out what they see in you; lunch!

Vivian waits to see what happens, her wand at the ready to help the others... Tick tock however, sees lunch as well! Family sized!

Ticktock will go forth into the water, holding breath and submerging, giving it appropriate bonuses for being attacked by things above water if a frog decides to try it.

Tyrek sloshes through the water and aims huge overhead blow at the nearest frog.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Rats... maybe flat-footed??

Frogs

Grazyra will move 20 feet 40/60

Tyrek moves forward and hits an oversized frog while Grazyra and Tick Tock move closer, Vivian is fine where she is. The yellow frog attempts to bite the nagaji, but misses. The green frog jumps towards the pathfinders and attempts to bite Grazyra; that also fails. Finally the blue frog jumps closer, it's tongue lashing out to hit Ticktock. This frog also fails to make an impression...

damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Tyrek dismembers the yellow frog, but Ticktock has trouble hitting the green one

I only see a blue frog on the map.

Also: I assume the watery area counts as difficult terrain? If so I will just double move.

Morthak sloshes up the hallway, trying to get closer.

Karlos draws his bow and fires at the last frog.

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d8 ⇒ 6

Vivian will keep still and let the others handle the frogs.

Morthak: my last 4 posts contained this

Difficult terrain for medium creatures, swim checks for small creatures

Morthak swim: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 1 = 3

Morthak attempts to move forward, but he starts to sink! Asgoro is waiting for the others to deal with the frog while Karlos shoots and misses. The frog hops forward and bites Tyrek

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Grab: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Tick tock tries to nom on frog again.

grab: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

This time having more success, even if he slips back into the water without his prey.

Tyrek hisses loudly as the frog wrenches his arm, and attempts to pay it back in full!

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

His axe hits, hard!

The pathfinders quickly deal with the last frog and investigate the room. At the end of the room you find the decaying corpse of a man. On his right hand you notice a gold ring inset with a blue gem.

You open the other door in the room and enter corridor, after only a few steps you see an opening to your right. A strange blue fungus covers the walls, ceiling, and pillars of this waterlogged chamber. Its wispy strands stretch out from the wall like roots dangling in the air, twitching
and swaying in an unseen breeze. Floating in the water are four decaying corpses—three large rats and one giant frog—with strange burn marks all over their bodies.

"Well, this is disturbing." Asgoro pokes at the fungus with his sword. "I'd be prepared for something that uses fire and has a vendetta against animals then."

Vivian looks at the blue fungus and nibbles at her lip in thought.

Anyone recognize that? It seems odd...

"Isss ring important?" Tyrek asks. "Magic ringssss, can be dangeroussss."

Electricity: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2) = 8
Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Asgoro moves into the room and pokes the fungus. You are momentarily blinded by a flash, coupled by the sound of thunder striking. Asgoro feels his sword-hand burn by the impact of an electrical discharge.

Vivien blinks her eyes and winces.

Probably shouldn't do that again... hold still...

She taps him (And Tyrek since I forgot) with her wand of healing.

Tyrek Heal: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Asgoro Heal: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Thanks Sssswweetheart." Tyrek says, trying on an endearment he often heard in the taverns.

Asgoro nearly drops his sword, but manages to hold on to it despite the pain. "Ugh, I hate mushrooms. First some chef insists on putting them in your food, and next, they start exploding everywhere."

"Thanks for the help, Vivian. So I suppose don't do what I did, and stay away from the walls."

"Electric mushrooms. What will they think of next?" Morthak muses.

"If any of you have the ability to manipulate objest at a distance, you could try using this dagger to scrape the fungus off the walls."

Basically I'm talking about mage hand or a similar spell.

We could burn it, I suppose...

What will you do?

Is it possible to walk through the room without touching the shrooms now that we know they are dangerous?

Yes, if you are very careful. However you can see that the room exits to the same corridor that you traversed earlier. I have marked the room with the fungus as A on the map. You can also move forward to room B...

Gotcha.

Vivian motions to the others...

That just goes back where we came. Let's not worry about it and continue exploring.

This large chamber is partially flooded, with the south end just barely rising out of the stagnant water. A large wheel is set into the floor of the dry area, attached to chains that rise up into the ceiling. A thick layer of slick, black mold covers the carvings on the walls of this chamber. Tyrek steps into the room and raises his hand "There are pits below the water, do you see them?"

As he says this skeletons start to rise from below the water. They quickly close in on Tyrek and try to hit them with their claws, but the nagaji's armor prevents all damage.

Tyrek retaliates with his axe, smashing into the skeletons with huge force and sending bones flying!

Get them Tick Tock!

Unfortunately, there just isn't any room at the moment.

Delay until there is room for Tick tock to get in there.

"Tyrek! Either push them out of the way or fall back! Don't let yourself get swarmed!"

If you killed Green, you could 5' step forward to allow Asgoro to move in.

Morthak waits for there to be room to maneuver.

Delay.

Tyrek easily destroys the first skeleton and steps forward to allow someone else to move in.

Karlos moves forward, ready to close when a spot opens up.

Karlos moves forward, ready to close when a spot opens up.

Karlos: if you are taking the spot between Grazya and Asgoro, you can still attack red or blue. They will have cover, but you will also have cover from them.

Please go ahead and put

Day job would be in game if you have a profession for example.

No day job then - I don't have skill points for that kind of thing! :)

Same with Asgoro. Although, a wanderer such as him would likely not pick up such skills anyway.

I am going to try and get started tonight. This mess up with the site is becoming very obnoxious and more frequent.

Game Thread is open.

Does anyone happen to have a Googleslide of the maps?

I don't have this one I'm afraid. I bought the humble-bundle a while back that gave me all of season 6 (I think it was) but not this one.

Just an FYI, I am having surgery tomorrow to get rod if a cyst on my right hand. I hope that it wont put me out of commission too much or for too long.

hmmm...i just saw a player in one of my othrrer games post the same thing....coincidence? Get better man!

Sorry for long delay.. i had been using wayfinder app to post but completely quit working so alot of catching up to do. If at all possible i will bring a different character instead of gripli

This is who i want to replace grippli with

Does anyone happen to have a Googleslide of the maps?

That would be fine, Giacomo

Are we missing anyone?

I forgot to ask for your Ini. Modifier, can you add it in the appropriate code so that I can just copy and paste to make things run smoother please?

Can I get the Ini. Modifiers soon please?

The website was acting up for me last night when I got home.

The Initiative modifiers along with the previous info, right?

Can We do a check in just so I know who is here, it looks like we might have lost Giacomo.

me here

Here!

Ready.

I have been home sick most of the day today but had to take my cat to the vet because he hadn't eaten in two days and vet was concerned. I should be back tomorrow night.

Could some one right up the groups iniative modifiers in code so that I would just need to copy and paste them for combat please?

it has been about a month since Giacomo has posted. I do not think that he is with the group any longer. Do we have enough to continue?

Is there a minimum table size for the module?

And how many wands of CLW do we have in the party? I have one.

got one too...full as well

Just looked through the various character sheets. Giacomo and Asgoro were the only ones able to use a CLW wand, and Asgoro is down.

Maybe we should look for another. :)

if needed i can switch classes and make a cleric...then switch back after

I believe that we need at least 4 for a module.

We have a legal party but I am concerned with the lack of healing.

Well, Spiritualist do have cure light wounds on their spell list, I just didn't learn the spell. Thus, I can use the wand without UMD, but in this situation in which I am unconscious... not very helpful.

Yeah, I didn't put a rank into UMD because I didn't think I'd need it at first level.

So you are going to need to hang on to the wands and then try not to expose yourself to hits too much.

I'm ok with continuing as-is but if you want to recruit one more, go ahead. The society may have decided to have another agent rendezvous with us enroute to the tomb.

Okay. Let me put something in the Flaxseed unless someone has a friend in mind that would be willing to jump in.

cool...but if no go, try to recruit a martial and i can switch Karlos to a healer...no big deal

Looks like we have some people who are interested.

I put a new google slide presentation in the Campaign Tab, can you be so kind as to fill in the first 2 slides. I want to see if this makes things easier.
