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

Game Master Magabeus

O.o' Dex damage? YEesh!

Vivian moves over to Grazyra and helps her up.

Oh, you poor girl... that looked like it hurt!

She pulls a wand out from a holster on her hip and taps it to her forehead.

Bippity Boppity Boo!

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Your gonna need to let that ankle heal honey... It'll be sore for a few days.

Oops, misread, go ahead a reflex save.

Tyrek watches in confusion as the girls slide down with squeals of fear or delight depending on their disposition (and intentions). "Isss thisss flirting?" He asks no-one in particular before making his own descent, his sharp toes keeping a good grip in the ground as he goes.

Acro: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Asgoro shrugs. "In for a silver, in for a gold, I suppose..." Making his way down the slope, he uses his hands for support.

Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

And down he goes. Guess I'll go ahead and make the Reflex save here then.

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

...Ankles, please.

reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 heh granted not much better but it is what it is

Karlos waits until the rest are down before he heads down.

climb: 1d20 + 8 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 3 = 17

Climb: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (15) - 2 = 13
She probably slipped so here is the reflex save to save time...
Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Remember we have rope, and Morthak is aiding anyone who wants (though it's acrobatics which may not help you if you're climbing).

I have to see what the module says about the roll if you slipped. I got called to sub during my prep so I can check when I get back to my room

You slide down 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8 but no Dex damage.

An archway of stone is set into the side of a small hill at the
bottom of the valley. Moss has overgrown many of the details,
but one is still quite clear. The keystone of the arch is carved
with a flame symbol with a stylized rune in the middle. Beyond
the archway is a darkened tunnel that leads to a pair of massive
wooden doors, one of which is slightly ajar.
A pair of horses and a trio of ponies lie slaughtered next to
the archway, each corpse still tied to a post set into the ground
nearby. A swarm of flies hangs lazily in the air above them.

Vivian gasps at the sight of the dead animals.

Oh no... poor babies...

[spoiler=DC 10 Heal] These animals have been dead for a few days [/poiler]

Karlos looks at the bodies.

heal: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Dead for a few days...3-4 at most...not sure what killed them....careful....he says as he looks closely at the bodies.

perc: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17looking for what might have happened...aka bites, cuts etc

Heal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

"Disgusting. Looks these horses were brought to the crypt by someone else... perhaps the seen group that prompted the Society to investigate? It looks like whoever brought this horses haven't left the tomb yet, considering they left the door open. Group of five, maybe more."

Is there any evidence of poison on the horses, as there was on the man with the sword?

"This is all just wrong. Can we move away from here soon, please?"

"Hm. I'm surprised the wolves didn't get to 'em."

Morthak moves quietly up to the door and has a look. He examines the area very carefully for traps.

stealth take 10: 10 + 12 = 22
perception take 20: 20 + 8 = 28

It looks like they were punched and scratched to death

Getting this feeling of dread that she has had before, though she mutters to herself Here we go again she keeps a hand on her hilt and the other on the shield as she moves closer to the entrance of the place and looks around seeing in the dark

"Apsu guide us, as the winds carry your tales"

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Per: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Seeing Grazyra look around for something, anything, Allure starts to do the same.

Tyrek simply waits, uninterested in the dead animals once he establishes that they won't serve as a good source of food.

If I din't find any traps, let's go in.

None that you think you could find/

As the heavy doors swing open, the faint light from outside reveals a long chamber with risen platforms on either side. A faded painting of Kassen is on the far wall. The room appears to be the site of a gruesome battle, with two bodies piled in the center and a number of skeletons scattered around. An echoing wail can be heard somewhere in the distance, beyond this foul chamber.

Karlos activates his magical torch and heads in.

Be careful...no telling what we might find here... he says as he drawsx his sword and proceeds.

Vivian follows through, looking around for enemies as tick tock stares creepily.

Morthak slips quietly in the room. He goes over to examine the two dead bodies.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Allure keeps her club in one hand, wand in the other, ready to do, well, whatever, is needed to help the group. Sexily, she moves in with the group.

Grazyra weapon and shield in hand heads in cautiously put character where she moved to

The two bodies are badly mauled,
and the PCs must make a DC 15 Knowledge (local) check
to identify them as Gerol and Vark, both of whom are
friends of the mayor. Also in the chamber is a pair of
backpacks. One of the packs contains a large pillow and
two quivers (each containing 10 blunted arrows). The
other pack has 2 days’ worth of rations, a full waterskin,
and a pair of smokesticks.

These arrows will come in handy against skeletons and such...here..split them up among yourselves. I have some already. We should wrap them up...poor souls.

Karlos goes to wrap the bodies in their cloaks or blankets, whatever they might have.

Perhaps we can take them back for a proper burial...

know local: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

"Who are these men? The owners of the horses? They seem a little underequipped, no bows to go with their quivers."

Gripping his sword tighter, he looks to the skeletons.

Do the skeletons have any weapons around them, or show any signs of battle? Is it possible to tell how long they have been here?

They might be the two the mayor was talking about. I overheard him with a few people at the send off party. Gerol and Vark, I believe their names are. The mayor will definitely want news of their passing brought back to him...as well as their bodies.

Vivian shakes her head at the poor souls.

Poor things.

It does not look like there are weapons around them but as to how long they have been there you would need a heal check.

[ooc] Can someone put 6 little skeletons around the room?

umm...have I been forsaken?

I also have been forgotten! Someone grab my fainting couch!

So many of us left out! Perhaps there was too much flirting for poor Tyrek?

I think you guys forgot to put your initiative rolls into the Google Slides document. The link is under the campaign tab.

Can someone put 6 little skeletons around the room?

How's that?

Hey Gang, this is Hmm.

This seems to be an illegal combat, so I am going to call for a time out here. I would rather pause us for a moment then have the VO team have to come in and undo everything retroactively.

Can everyone please hang in here and be patient while we try to get this sorted out?

Thank you.

Hmm
Venture Captain of Play-by-Post

You got it boss.

roger that

Okay. Standing by.

Not a problem, what caused this to be illegal?

I believe Local 252 of the Skeleton Union filed a complaint about unfair party size.

nah...not enough workers...they were running a skeleton crew....
