GM Silbeg's Gallows of Madness (Inactive)

Game Master Silbeg

Atrix moves along the inner wall, trying to hide among the trees.

Stealth!: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 1 = 20

double move

"Oh, stealthy approach?! Nice!" Filk whispers, and starts following Atrix. He tries to keep out of sight, and sprints into the cover of trees.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

From his hiding place, he focuses his concentration on the door ahead of him and tugs it gently.

telekinetic finesse on the door of the building on the left, open it if it's unlocked

Valerka moves a little further in as well, trying to stay in the bushes. He readies her spell flinging finger just in case.

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

As the party approaches within sight of the gate, Fijeet activates TripleTime.

At the gate, Fijeet also decides stealth is a good choice and moves in to the right with bow drawn.

stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

refresher on triple time, please?

+10 ft move for an hour

Unfortunately, as a masterpiece we lose the movement buff as soon as Fjeet starts any other bardic performance. :-(

As the team sneaks out, they notice some things.

First, in the bushes near the three adventurers, is a creature with an inordinate number of sinewy limbs, each terminating in clawed feet, protrude from the sides of this slithering creature. Its face is disturbingly demonic. See image on the side

FiJeet notices four mites hiding in the bush near him.

Everyone notices each other at pretty much the same time! No surprise

Fijeet jumps back out of the bushes "Oh crraap" and stumbles back.

"4 of um over here... so Let loose the drums of war!"

Fijeet begins an inspiring chant.

Atrix slips next to the many legged thing, sliding her twin sabers from their sheaths.

Points down, Artix attacks.

Attack!: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11 Damage!: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

Filk jumps quickly back, that claw coming far too close. As soon as he is out of the creatures reach, he shoots a fist-sized rock towards it.

5ft step, then blast

"Yeesh, what is that thing?"

She summons up magic in her right hand and tries to deliver it to the strange creature.

Five foot step

As stated in the init section... it is knowledge nature

Atrix fails to land her blade, but as Filk steps back, the thing moves up with him! You can choose to not do your telekinetic blast if you wish.

As it is still within touch range..
fort save DC15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
The creature looks tired after Valerka touches it.

Waiting on Filk's decision

"Aaaaa, it keeps coming at me!!!"

Filk will take the shot anyway

AOO bite vs AC18: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 Close!

The mites start giving their show!

Blue shakes its finger at Valerka, and says, "Dinistrio!!!"
Valerka will: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 1 = 13 succeeded

Yellow shakes its grimy little finger at FiJeet, saying "Dinistrio!!!"
FiJeet will: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7 FiJeet is shaken

Blue points is nasty finger at Filk, which is coated in some nasty purple slime, and says "Dinistrio!!!"
Filk will: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 1 = 16

Finally, not to be left out, green points her finger at Atrix, and proclaims, "Dinistrio!!!"
Atrix will: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 2 + 1 = 21

Botting FiJeet.

The little gnome continues to beat-box, as he shoots his bow at purple. He hits, dealing damage the little bastard!

Damage!: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6 Damage!: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Atrix cuts into the thing, but it does not fall.

Correction, because the GM cannot do math yesterday

Though it stood for a moment, the horrid thing drops to the ground, bleeding out.

The mites all call out, "Chan eil! Frasan aotrom uisge!"

Vakerka and Filk are up.
I would like to move things along, and am going to try something I have seen on another PBP...

Round will progress after 2018-11-16 0800 CST (UDT-6)

"Whew... Thanks, Astrix! That was one nasty critter. "

With the immediate threat dealt with, Filk turns his attention towards the mites. A flick of a wrist, and a stone hurls towards one of the mites.

TK blast, PBS,IC: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 20
damage: 2d6 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5, 6) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 21

I assume that Filk would like to move so that he isn't shooting through the concealment of the shrubbery?

Oops (posted from phone yesterday). Yes, Filk moves and targets the closest mite not in shrubbery (purple?)

Valerka ponders what to do...

While she does this, the mites attack!

Green and Yellow both throw darts at FiJeet!
Yello vsAC17: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 piercing: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Green vsAC17: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 piercing: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Blue moves up and throws his at Filk!
Blue vsAC18: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 piercing: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

None of the mites hit!

"So, has this place turned into some kind base for mites?"

Filk hurls another stone, this time targeting the blue mite.

TK blast, PBS,IC: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 24
damage: 2d6 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6, 6) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 22

Atrix maneuvers into position to attack the blue mite.

Attack!: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 = 22 Damage!: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

Filk destoys the blue mite, causing Atrix to go after green, who she kills.

Valerka and FiJeet -- you have until 0900 tomorrow AM

Fijeet stops bopping, and lets loose another cold iron arrow into the last mite.

bow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Confused... it does not look like FiJeet has lingering performance. If he stops inspiring, he doesn't get the +1. Also, he has taken 3 points of DEX damage.

i am standard +6... dropped to 5 from dex damage, plus point blank. Which means i forgot 1 more damage so 23 to hit, 5 cold iron damage

Even though Atrix was screening FiJeet, he manages to hit the mite. It is still standing, however.

BOT Valerka then touches Filk, casting guidance.

The mite giggles, and throws a dart at Atrix.

Atrix spins over to the last Mite attempting to send it to hell.

Attack!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 Damage!: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Attack!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 Damage!: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Filk moves closer to join the others in their fight against the last mite. Even if he hasn't a very good line of fire, he sends a pebble to shoot past Atrix.

TK blast, PBS, guidance: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 18
damage, PBS: 2d6 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 16

The final mite goes down under the onslaught of Atrix's blades.

Out of habit, Filk quickly checks the mite's possessions if they had anything useful with them, before turning to his companions.

"All right, where next? Straight to the manor, or should we check the side buildings first?"

Good question...

someone decide which way, move tokens, and post! PLEASE.
OTherwise, tomorrow AM, I roll randomly. 1: left, 2: double, 3: right

Direction!: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Atrix moves to the far structure, on the look out for any traps or hidden critters.

Fijeet follows Atrix discreetly.

Hidden amid a copse of gnarled trees sits a large mausoleum of polished granite. Statues of weeping angels of green tinged bronze flank the closed entrance. A tarnished silver doorplate on the black steel door reads, “Sarini.”

Atrix does not notice anything suspicious about the mausoleum door, nor does she see any critters that she didn't bring along with her. The door is closed, and appears to be locked.

"Oooo, a locked door! I take that as a challenge..."

Filk produces a set of lockpicks from his belt, and with a flick of his wrist the tools speed through the air towards the lock. Then the picks starts rotating within the lock, trying to open it.

Disable device w/ TK finesse: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

"Hmm, maybe not that way.."

Disable device w/ TK finesse: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

"Oops, heh, I tried that already..."

Disable device w/ TK finesse: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

If the last roll doesn't open it, can take 20, if we're in no hurry

As Filk uses his powers to try and pick the door lock, the wings on the two statues (see slide #2) suddenly start moving, slashing into Atrix!

Wings!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 slashing: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
More Wings!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 slashing: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The wings on both status cut into the surprised Atrix!

Current status
Atrix: 13/31 -3 DEX
FiJeet: 18/21 -3 DEX
Filk: 30/37 Temp: 0/3 -3NL
Valerka: 16/16

Fijeet pulls his wand and uses it on Atrix.

"We should be very careful.. these people were really dangerous.... This is gonna be fun!"

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

and one on Filok
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Valerka sighs, "Just so you all know I too can change up my spells more often these days, and that includes healing if need be. How are we doing?"

The door is still locked...

Is this how you want to be laid out? Is someone going to try the door again. Note: Only Filk's first attempt has been done.

Sorry, I thought we had gone into initiative.

Atrix backs away from the statue drawing her swords anticipating combat.

Valerka takes a step back, "What the heck was that? Did it reset?!"

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Valerka can not tell if the trap is reset or not, though he wings are back in their starting position.

"Stay back! I'll try this again..."

Filk can use disable device from 30ft away, so everybody should keep the distance if the trap triggers again
