GM Mezegis- The Infernal Vault (Inactive)

Game Master Auke Teeninga

Forgot it was our turn!

Talwin charges the man, striking over Ebon's shoulder!

Longspear + charge - cover: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 - 4 = 8

Tiring of constant misses, Targost casts a magic missile at the skulking archer.

Magic Missile damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

I think we are getting lost as to who still is up in the turn. :-\

It the swinging blade still swinging, or did it reset even? I'm not such a good jumper.

LXbow: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 - 4 = 6
Norine fires into the crowd; fortunately, no one is hurt.

I think the problem is just that nobody can do anything with all the cover and nowhere to move...

Pretty much. The tight quarters make life difficult.

Alexia looks to see if the trap is still active or if it has reset.

Hello...is anyone still here?

Check out the OOC thread Targost.

Looks like we might be starting up again Monday. XD. Minus Mez tho. X(.

Grr...the thread has not been updating again! Thanks Liadain and Ebon....

Seeing the pathfinders have broken his killzone and are currently ganging up on him the mercenary picks up his prized posession provoking from Liandain and Ebon. Liadain manages to connect with her rapier, but Ebon misses.

AOO Liadain: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Damage Liadain: 1d6 ⇒ 4

AOO Ebon: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

The mercenary smiles, blows a kiss to Liandain and moves past her and down the stairs.
"Let's do this again sometime!"

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

I would suggest we drop out of initiative and regroup and heal up. Then we can continue with a clean slate.

Is the swinging blade still swinging.

The blade has lost its momentum is currently hanging motionless.

" Here let me help with the healing for once."
Ebon pulls out his near new wand and cures Alexia...clw wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
And then Liadain...clw wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
43 charges remaining

"Thank you," Alexia mutters to Ebon, obviously uncomfortable with the giant barbarian healing her. "Amateur mistakes, and I will not make them again," she vows.

Talwin gather his items, holding onto his spear and standing at the top of the staircase.

"Well, should we pursue? I'm not keen on letting that one get away."

While Ebon is healing the group, Norine searches the body on the ground before her, under the scythe.
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Oh sure, now I get my Nat 20!

"Pursue, but just a little more carefully, as I am sure you are well aware," Norine responds to Talwin, getting up off the floor and advancing, gesturing with her eyes back towards the deadly scythe trap.

"Let's get ready and I'll cast bless again just before we do go down." When everyone is assembled at the head of the stairwell, Norine casts Bless again from her wand. (10 round duration.)

Seconding Talwin.

" Heh! You know me. Let's go!"
Ebon replies to Norine as he grips his Greatsword in hand again.
" I'd really like to smash something now."

Norine searches the dead elf's body on the ground before her and discovera a ledger belonging to the Devil’s Claw mercenaries. The ledger lists prices for various jobs.

After healing up and casting some buffs the party continues down the stairs and enters an ancient stone room.

A perpetual thick gray fog covers the floor to a height of six inches. Four alcoves extend from a small circular center. The north and south alcoves are lined with ceremonial slabs on which rest skeletal bodies garbed in old finery, the west alcove contains a spiral staircase that winds down from the room, and the east alcove contains only a simply wooden door in the east wall.

In front of this door is the mercenary leader you've seen before, with two of his man at his side and his crossbow loaded and aimed at you.

"Stop right there!" he shouts from across the room.
"We're the Devil's Claw Mercenaries and we've been hired as bodyguards by Celeena Deckland, rightful owner of this vault. We're trained professionals who take our job seriously, so I suggest you leave!"

Liadain gives Ebon a thankful smile and a wink as he heals up the jabbing wound inflicted by those god-damned imps before. She's a little bitter about the mercenary getting away--particularly with his smart-arse act about it--but convinces herself he could not run for much longer, surely...

And, indeed, shortly thereafter, they find him again! What luck. Lia rolls her eyes and flicks her hair back from her eyes before meeting the merc leader's eyes with a steady and almost bored gaze.

"We, too, are trained professionals who take our job seriously--and I can tell you that our business here requires we most certainly do not leave. Your darling boss decided to kill one of our own, and we'd certainly like to have a nice chat with her if we can..." Liadain points her rapier at the leader with a glare, sapphire blue eyes piercing and flinty. "And if you wish to stand between us and our goal, then I am not promising that you will enjoy the result!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 Daaamn!

Intimidate, Aid Another: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 2 - 4 = 7
"What she said!" Norna yells in support, pointing her small crossbow with as much menace as she can muster (it isn't much).

Raising his sword up into a high guard position, Ebon flexes for all he is worth and grins an evil grin at the mercs.
" Been achin' fer a fight anyway!!!"
Intimidate aid another: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Targost stops before following the others down to cast Armour on himself, then joins the others at the bottom confronting the bandits. He has his bow ready.

"Your darling boss decided to kill one of our own, and we'd certainly like to have a nice chat with her if we can..."

The mercenaries do not seem impressed by your speech.

"Oh, that little sneak! He was spying on the Decklands, that's invasion of privacy. We gave him the same choice we're giving you. Stay out of the Deckland's history or become part of it!"

Norine is reluctant to fire the first shot. She does, however, suggest to Ebon, "Let's get a little closer so that you can discuss the matter with them easier."

Delay, following the group.

Talwin strides forward (30' straight ahead), lance at the ready.

He stops short of the men and speaks to the leader, fixing him with a Stern Gaze(TM).

"Do you think we are troubled by petty fools such as yourselves? The wrath of Abadar is at hand!"

Intimidate to demoralize: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25

"Which part of 'Stop right there!' didn't you understand!"

To hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 for Damage: 1d10 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (5, 3) = 10

Jenks smiles and draws his sword.

Devil's Claw G
Janks

Talwin, your move action initiated combat, so your demoralize attempt didn't happen/was interrupted.

"Oh, for the love of... JUST KILL THEM!" Alexia shouts in frustration. As if to emphasize her point, she begins intoning the words to a sleep spell, even as sand sprinkles from between the outstretched fingers of her hand.

Liandain and Alexia notice that the wounds previously inflicted on Jenks are gone. Targost sees this too, but he also perceives an empty potion flask at Jenks' feet.

Norine hustles after Talwyn, drawing her wand and casting, healing the inquisitor.
Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Talwin scowls as the arrow hits him squarely. While waiting for Norine to arrive, he drops his spear, draws his bow, and looses an arrow towards the northernmost enemy!

Longbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Talwin drops his spear, draws his bow and hits one of the mercenaries.

"You'll pay fot that" the other one shouts and charges Talwin.

To hit: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 = 18

and he misses.

Targost likewise aims his longbow at the enemy and fires. (Fires at Jenks)

Attack-Ranged: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

"Heh," Liadain smirks, a gleam of amusement sparkling in her eyes. "You just don't know when to give up, do you?"

She imperiously strides forward, cloak swishing and books clinking on the stone floor. "Your impudence and arrogance will see you meet your end here! We shall be the victors of our destiny, fools of fools! Give in now, and you shall receive the succour of our mercy; but the smallest misstep here will surely lead to nothing but the end of your tales in this world!"

The blue-haired aasimar pulls up in front of the nearest lackey and flashes her rapier in his direction. "Last chance, sweetheart. Move, or be removed."

Starting inspire courage and moving into range.

Norine moves and cures.

Targost fires an arrow at Jenks, but misses due to the cover provided by his allies.

Liandain starts inspiring courage and moves into range.

Alexia starts casting sleep.

Order: (Bold means, you're up!)

Ghosting Ebon

Ebon bulges his muscles.
"Yeah, a good fight, that's what I was waiting for!"
He roars "FOR GORUM!" and charges.

Rage & Charge
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 13

And misses completely.

The other devil claw moves in and attacks Ebon.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 hits!
for Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The skeletons resting aren't resting any more! They stand up and start burning with their hatred of the defilers.

6 Skeletons stand up. 2 move towards the Devil Claws and 2 towards the two clerics.

The skeletons have a burning aura. If you start your turn next to them you take D6 points of fire damage.

Janks delays

Flaming Skeletons
Janks [Delayed]

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

"They're flaming skeletons!" Norine says, exclaiming only the most obvious. She scans each direction and moves slightly to hopefully capture all of the skeletons in her burst.

Channel energy, Harm undead, DC 13: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

Talwin lets his bow drop to the ground he takes a 5' step to get away from one skeleton, then grabs his club and tries to bash it.

Attack plus inspire: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 17
Damage, with inspire: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

He also tries to ID the skeletons.

Know Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

So I should take 2d6 fire damage from being adjacent to 2 skeletons when I started? I'll roll below...

Fire Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Ah, I had misread the 'start' business. Here's mine now:
Burning aura: 1d6 ⇒ 4

If there are no enemies between allies I'll auto delay people according to their posts, but please don't move your miniatures on the map until it is actually your turn. You can use the draw options to mark the place you want to move to.

Devil's Claw P is hurt by the aura of skeleton 1 for fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Not impressed by the skeleton he tries to incacatate the barbarian before he regains control of his sword.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 hits for 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 damage

Do we have a map for this?? I cannot seem to find it! (The link up top is the old one.

Sorry, I was confused about who was up.

Norine calls upon the divine power of The Great Dreamer and blasts the skeletons with divine energy.

Skeleton 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Reflex Liadain: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Janks comes out of delay, moves over to Ebon and strikes!

To hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 and hits for Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Ebon is badly hurt and his injuries seem to effect his combat skills as he misses yet again!

Alexia's sleep spell will be targeted behind the southernmost enemy. That should get both of them, and not my party.
