GM Tarondor's Emerald Spire Campaign

Game Master Tarondor

Perfire loads and begins spinning his sling around he head,focusing on the pit, ready to strike any spiders or undead he finds.

readied action to fire on mr legs.

Lilika lunges at the spider with her sword.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Piercing Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Confirming a Critical: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Extra Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Lilika lunges, thrusting forward her short stabbing blade and driving it deep into the spider’s soft underbelly. It hisses and shrieks in pain and rage.

Yirrik, go!

"BLAST AND BUGGER!" Wymond swears as he fails to budge the door.

Yirrik slams down his hammer and spike, shattering the trap door.

STR check: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 2 = 20

Down below, the spider lunges for Lilika, hoping to fill her full of venom before driving off her noisy companions.

Spider Bite v. Lilika: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

The spider seizes the dusky half-elf in its horrible, slobbering jaws and bites down. She screams and struggles, then goes limp.

Lilika, give me a DC 15 Fort save against poison!
Perfire, take your readied action.
THEN...everyone, go!

Seeing the door collapse and spotting the spider within, Perfire looses his sling stone at the creature.

Sling: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 4 = 17 firing into melee

Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

out of curiosity, how far down is the spider from my current position? Can I poke him with my spear if I draw it? It may change what I do on my next turn.

The pit is 10' deep. So the spider, a medium creature, is two squares away. You can only affect him with range and reach weapons. Or by jumping down in there...

Perfire's shot hits the spider squarely.

Perfire, your readied action occurred before the spider's attack on Lilika, so you can go again after Lilika rolls her poison save.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Perfire drops his sling and yells down at the spider. 'Come get me you dumb animal!'

He then draws his longspear and jabs down at his enemy.

Longspear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

"Hang on, Lilika!" Wymond cries worriedly, before turning his attention to the spider.

"COME ON YA BUGGY BASTARD! I'M A JUICIER MEAL THAN 'ER!" he yells, attacking with his bardiche.

Bardiche: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 201d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Although the spider dodge's Perfire's attack, the motion opens it up for Wymond's bardiche, which cuts it deeply.

STATUS
Yirrik (13/22 hp)
Perfire (14/18 hp)
Lilika (-2/17 hp)(prone, unconscious)
Wymond (18/21 hp)
Moon Spider (18 damage)

Yirrik, go!
Lilika, give me a stabilization check.

Stabilize: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 - 2 = 17 Stable!

Nice roll, gm!

Though elated that he broke through the trap door, Yirrick is dismayed when the spider fells poor Lilika.

Snatching one of his axes from his brlt he flings it with great velocity...

throw, hand axe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

SCHUNK!

Yirrik's axe crashes into the spider's tiny head, crushing exoskeleton and brain. It flails its legs and whistles in pain before collapsing onto Lilika's still form amid a widening pool of black ichor.

COMBAT OVER!

Perfire, I'm not sure how you got to the south side of the pit, but I believe you're still on the north side.

Wymond breathes a sigh of relief as the spider is quickly slain.

"Quick! Let's get her out of there. I can heal her!"

Actions, gentlemen?

Lilika's laboured breathing echoes up from the pit...

Wymond swallows and begins trying to climb down to Lilika.

Climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

I ran across the closed trap door the round after it closed

Perfire frets at the side of the pit as Wymond begins his descent.

Wymond gets down to the bottom and passes Lilika's body and gear up to waiting hands.

Hey, folks, there are easier ways to do this! The DC for climbing a knotted rope next to a wall is 5. Yirrik could anchor the rope while Wymond climbs down safely. I'm going to assume that's what you arrange on the way back up.

So there you are in the hallway, with a badly injured comrade...

Yeah, it seemed like a good idea when the trap was closed...

Safely back out of the trap, Wymond once again says a brief prayer to Erastil and lays hands on Lilika to heal her.

Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Juuuuust enough to bring her back to consciousness, right?

Lilika groans and opens her eyes to see Wymond peering down at her with worry.

"...Thanks...?" she ventures, not entirely sure what's going on. "May I get up?"

Once Wymond gives her space, Lilika sits up, then staggers to her feet. She's horribly bloody and looks like she might fall over any moment. She lets out a grunt of pain, then tries to climb up the knotted rope and get out of the pit.

Climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Back on safe footing she stands up, clutches her side and leans against a nearby wall for support.

Perfire breathes a sigh of relief seeing Lilika brought back to consciousness. He then realizes his own predicament.

'Should... should I try to climb down?' he asks uncertainly.

Wymond strokes his round chin.

"Ye got some rope? We can climb down the one we used to get out, and then climb up yours. Instead o' coming to us, we come to you."

As I said, you're all out of the pit and in the hallway.

I think Yirrik means that we're on opposite sides of the pit, so he's all alone and to continue down the hall the rest of us have to cross it...

Perfire breathes a sigh of relief once his friends have all traversed the pit to join him in the hallway. He waits expectantly for them to progress further.

Right, but you can still cross via the knotted rope.

-Are- you going to continue? Lilika is badly hurt.

After crossing the pit with the others, Wymond says another prayer and claps Lilika on the shoulder after they're out, healing her further.

Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 3

I believe that's my last Lay on Hands for today.

"Thanks."

Despite that she tries to go on, Lilika clearly needs to rest.

Wymond offers Lilika his shoulder to lean on.

"Perry? We may wanna stop and let Lilika lie down. She's had a rough go of it. Perhaps if we clear one o' the nearby rooms we can set up camp again."

Triath nudges you back in the direction of the room you've previously cleared.

Wymond nods.

"Good idea, Triath. Let's fall back there and set things up again. Lilika, I'll tend te yer wounds more thoroughly, if ye wish. We can also clean up some o' that dried food we found and have some dinner."

Lilika follows Wymond, clutching a hand to her bloody side as she walks.

Back in the previous room where you fought the spider, you clear away some old webs and the desiccated corpse, then set up a small camp where Lilika settles painfully down to rest. Tell me about your watches and preparations.

I can take first watch.

Lilika lets Wymond tend to her wounds, doing whatever he asks. Afterwards she goes to sleep.

She'll take last watch.

Wymond sets out a bedroll and asks Lilika to lie down before he begins tending to her injuries.

Heal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

After he's done with that, he begins working on getting some food ready for the group.

I'm thinking I'll take 2nd watch, after Perfire.

Time passes.

Is it day outside, or night? The outside world seems like a dream now after days in the darkness, and your oil and torches are getting low, though for now there is no risk of starvation because of the trove of salted meat. But what of water? The undead have no need for water.

More time passes.

Everyone gains four hit points. Waiting another sixteen hours will restore another four and get you your spells back.

Wymond

I thought Lilika could cast create water. She'd just have to prepare the spell, and then we have iron pots (assuming you got the basic kit for your class like I did at character creation) we can put it in to refill our waterskins and stuff.

Yup. This is me giving her a chance to shine.

Lilika magically creates water for the group to drink, and then to scrub the salty meat down. She also purifies the meat with magic to ensure it's still good. Once everyone's sated she settles in to keep resting.

Resting as long as we need to to get her spells renewed.

I'm back!

Once settled, Yirrik takes his turn at watch, pacing back and forth, wanting to go back and take a look at the latest trap spider lair. But,
recent experience has taught him that sticking together is vital to his and his companions survival down here.

On one of his cicuits, he looks down at Lilika's sleeping form, wincing a bit as she moves from the lingering pain in her side. For once, he was glad it was someone else that got the spider's attention, but he does admit he would gladly have taken that hurt to spare the strange half-elf.

Shaking his head he sets back on his inspection of the room and nearby corridors...

Yeah, full spells, agreed

Perfire spends his awake hours attempting to tidy up the room they've holed up in. He clears the remaining cobwebs and gently moves the corpse to the north. He does his best to clean the dust from the floor but is dissatisfied with the job he manages.

'Didn't think I'd be needing a broom'

After resting another sixteen hours, you each regain another two hit points and all your spells.

STATUS

Lilika (7/17 hp)
Wymond

His well of healing power renewed, Wymond lays hands on Lilika again to heal her.

Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 5

"Feelin' better, Lilika?" he asks gently.

Lilika nods. "Yes. Thank you."

She heals herself once more...

Healing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Then makes some water for the group to drink.

"Ready?"
