GM NotEspi's Master of the Fallen Fortress (Standard) 1 (Inactive)

Game Master NotEspi

Senma, seeing that the creature is like him, has immediate empathy for playing around in water. "Aww... it's like a little me!" he cooes. However enamored he is, he knows that it is best to keep his distance, so he follows behind Harrisk.

Harrisk manages to open the southern door. Immediately, you hear a loud click and a javelin bursts out through the doorway, almost impaling Lissaya.

Kaa continues his soothing approach. He wonders what it would be like to have an electric lizard for a companion on the road...

Breaking out of his daydream due to the javelin, Kaa moves to the door, ready to battle whatever threw it.

"Hey! Watch it!"

Lissaya moves over to the lizard and makes her own attempt to charm it with an offer of a snack. "Cute little guy." He would make a nice snack for my bird.

handle animal, trained: 10 + 5 = 15

The lizard sees food being offered to it, and immediately closes in and snatches it. Excited as it is, it releases a sudden bolt of static.

Bolt: 1d8 ⇒ 8
Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Lissaya gets hit by the bolt and feels quite a few cramps in her muscles.

The lizard takes the food she dropped and takes it back to its corner, where it starts chewing.

"Let us give this lizard a wide berth then."

That was nonlethal damage, by the way.

In the southern room, whoever looks notices a device with a rope tied to a mechanism above the door. It is missing a javelin.

"Whoa. I feel a bit woozy... Can any of you lot give me a heal before we go to the next room?"

Elutheria enters the southern room and looks around.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Besides the odd contraption that fired the spear, the room seems empty. On top of everything, the floor seems to be covered in a layer of dust.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Kaa offers up a wand from his pack.

Kaa has a wand we can use to heal Lissaya, but he doesn't know how to use it. Assuming someone does, feel free to roll your own.

Harrisk Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Goliath Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

"I can help." Harrisk uses Kaa's wand on Lissaya and returns it.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Ryll follows behind the paladin and looks around as well...
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

"Thanks."

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
roc, perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Lissaya sends the bird into the next room while riding its back. "Someone want to get the next door?"

Senma trots along as he sees Harisk heal up the woman on the roc with Kaa's wand. "I got one of those too!" he says proudly, waiting for the bulkier guys to handle door duty.

Harrisk picks up the javelin and weighs it in his hand trying to get a feel for it. "Whoever set this trap didn't want anyone to enter through here."

He gets off of Goliath. "Go defend Lissaya. I'll follow behind. Okay, buddy?" Goliath nods and follows Lissaya into the room.

While the other three enter the room, Harrisk is going to sneak around the corner along the wall to the door, checking it for traps.

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Elutheria strides to the next door, anxious to whack whatever dares come through.

If there are no traps Ryll steps into the next room and moves to her right to allow others room to enter.

You don't notice any traps on the door.

Ryllkwynne, you mean the western room?

got confused by the maps in the map link. She she will open the western door if need be

"I guess there wasn't anything more to worry about in this room. Come here, Goliath." Goliath's ears perk up and he follows Harrisk into the western room. Harrisk takes the other side of the door, javelin in hand.

What size is the javelin?

Elutheria stands in the doorway.

Lissaya pats her Roc and readies her bow impatiently while she waits for the door to be opened.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The javelin was medium-sized, but flew off into the distance.

As you open the door, a putrid stench assaults your nostrils and two javelins fly at you.

Javelin: 1d20 ⇒ 191d6 ⇒ 5
Javelin: 1d20 ⇒ 121d6 ⇒ 1

The origin of their movement are two creatures standing in the room. They are humanoid creatures with scaly hides. They resemble overgrown cave lizards, with long tails and crests on their backs.

The smell in the room makes Absalom's sewers cower in shame. Everyone entering the room rolls a DC 13 Fort save to not be sickened.

Sickened: The character takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

Ryll shoots at the one on the left (only one in PBS range)

CLB+PBS: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10..DMG: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 = 10

then 5 fts into the room...

FORT: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Harrisk Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Goliath Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Harrisk mutters through a series of coughs, "Goliath, guard the door. Make sure those guys can't get through."
Handle Animal: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

He's going to run through the door picking up one of the lizards' javelins along the way.

How long am I sickened for?

10 Turns

The creatures draw their clubs as they charge the wolf in the room.

Club, Blue: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 221d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Club, Red: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 201d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Both of them strike at Goliath, but fail to do any serious damage.

Fortitude-DC 13: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Senma places his hand over his mouth and nose quickly as he sees everyone else begin to gag. "Ugh... Who let loose up there!" he bellows before seeing two javelins fly through the doorway.

"Enemies!" he shouts as he sees one stick into Ryll.

He charges up his hands as the creatures charge Goliath. "Take this, snake people!" he yells.

Electric Blast - Touch Attack | Cover/No Precise Shot: 1d20 + 5 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 4 - 4 = 5
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

But the group is lucky as the undine is able to throw his hands wide once Ryll and Elutheria jump in the way. "Hey! Get out of the doorway!"

CLB+PBS: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10..DMG: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Ryll moves further into the room to give others space to enter and attack and she sends an arrow at the blue foe...and misses...

After the two lizard creatures attack Goliath, he's going to bite at the blue one.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Trip: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

adjusted Lissaya's position on the map based on my pre combat posts

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Kaa follows up the others attack with a jab of his own, but it is too hard to get it in the right position.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 4 = 5

Unable to get into the room, Lissaya taps her bow impatiently. delaying

fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Elutheria moves farther into the room and attacks the blue one with her warhammer two handed.

attack: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

does Kaa have a reach weapon or something?

-Posted with Wayfinder

As far as I am aware, he is sporting a naginata, so yes. I'll post an update in a few hours. Sorry about the delay.

Harrisk will change Goliath's aspect to Bull. Goliath takes a 5-ft step and bites the blue one again.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Trip: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Not sure if Harrisk can move into a position to throw the javelin at the red one. If not, he'll just stay where he is.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d6 - 3 ⇒ (4) - 3 = 1

After Goliath's attacks, one of the creatures tumbles to the ground. The other one remains on his feet and attempts to strike at the canine.

Club, Red: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

But misses terribly.

Elutheria moves and attacks the other one with her warhammer two handed.

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Kaa makes another attack, reaching over the canine.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Kaa begins to stammer an apology...

Ryll takes a step to her right and sends an arrow at the red foe...

CLB+PBS: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13..DMG: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

at least i got over 10...

Seeing that the bluish creature has fallen unconscious, Senma leaps into the room, finding an open angle. "Finally, open air!" he proclaims happily as he tosses another arc of lightning at the remaining enemy.

Electric Blast - Touch Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

The awkward fight rages on. Senma and Ryllkwynne manage to land their attacks, however. The creature recoils in pain as they do.

meant to post last night but fell asleep instead; sorry

Lissaya shoots an arrow at the blue troglodyte and then urges the Roc into the room and directs it to attack the blue troglodyte.

shortbow, attack, soft cover, melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 4 - 4 = 12 for piercing: 1d4 ⇒ 4

The remaining creature decides to leg it. Senma and Elutheria can do an AoO. Both melee.

Elutheria, recognizing there is no longer a threat to the party, doesn't pursue the fleeing creature.

Harrisk, still feeling a little sick, is going to stay out of the fray until he feels better. Since the enemies are not going towards the door at the moment, Goliath isn't going to attack. If they change and start approaching he will strike.

I don't see the creatures positions changed on the map; and I don't understand why the Roc would not also get an AoO

-Posted with Wayfinder

Kaa takes another swing at the creature, believing it to be villainous. Unfortunately for him, he just isn't seeing well today.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
