Game Master Hawkwen Agricola

The kobolds stand and stare at the party until one finally speaks up. Ki moun ou ye ak ki kote se oratè a dife?

Talathel turns to the others and says "Be ready!"

He then looks at kobold leather and growls in Draconic: "The fire breather is dead, I was his master and was not pleased with him stealing my sword!"

"I really don't get what that one just said, but I understand be ready pretty well."

Ready an action if the kobolds get aggresive.

Bardiche, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 1 = 9
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 3 = 10

The kobold's weapons lower a bit. The one who spoke before speaks again.

The kobolds lower their weapons and disappear into the passages of the keep.

Tortella shrugs and looks around for anything glittering. Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9

"Should we follow them? What did they say Tal?"

"They owe us for killing whatever it was that was in the previous room. They shouldn't bother us no more, I reckon."

"So should we head in the other direction? What do you think Maurit?"

Maurit quietly moves east, into the next room. A mournful howl comes from a stone well in the room’s center. This large chamber’s walls, once painted with vermilion and gilded with gold leaf, are now splotched and crumbling. Unlike the walls, however, the tiles that decorate the well are untouched by the ages and gleam as if recently polished.

"What was that?"

Lia walks up to the stone well and looks down.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Tortella prepares to engage anything that pops out of the stonework.

Eyes painful, short message
Talathel prepares detect magic before entering the room and checks out the whole in the wall.

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Lia looks down the well and feeling an inexorable desire, jumps down the well.

2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Lia plummets down the well, unable to break her fall.

Lia takes 8 pts damage

Tortella looks startled and starts to go to help, then reconsiders.
"...Li...uh?" he prompts from a distance.

"I'm okay!" Lia calls up, adding "I think . . ." under her breath. She stands up and takes a look around, and, assuming there's no imminent threat, drinks a potion.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Cure Light: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Lia finds a pile of humanoid bones at the bottom of the well.

"Did you lead us here on purpose?" Lecky asks Maurit.

"Lia, grab on to this." says Lecky as he throws a rope down the well.

"Careful Lecky, don't want you to fall down aswell!"

Talathel will keep Maurit in sight, while attempting to detect magic emanating from the well.

With the aid of Lecky, Lia is able to climb out of the well. Maurit shrugs at Lecky's question. Maurit not know little one would do that. Keep going? She says as she points to a door to the south.

"Why you... jump?" Tortella asks of Lia.

"I'm not that little," Lia mumbles to herself.

She turns to Tortella and replies "I . . . I don't know. I looked down and just felt like I had to."

"Happen... much?" Tortella cocks his head curiously.

"Anything of note down there? Secret passages? Ancient tomes?"

We be Pathfinders yo! :p

You guys ready to move to the next room?

Yes :-)

Is there a check to figure out why Lia jumped in the well?

Knowledge (religion)

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28WHOOHOO!

Talathel ponders why Lia would jump into the well...

Lia shakes her head, glancing uneasily at the well out of the corner of her eye. "Nothing, just a pile of old bones."

Ready to move on

"Whatever the reason is, lets just stay away from that well."

Ready.

Moving into the next room, the party sees, this long, narrow room is choked with webbing. Within the webs are a number of what appear to be small, dead humanoids with dark, scaled skin, each wrapped in a cocoon of sticky webbing.

"Cut... or burn?" Tortella offers, displaying his axe and holding up a hand prepared to cast a spell.

"I say burn it. I don't want to give that thing a chance to bite me." Lia points out the spider in the corner.

How big a spider are we talking?

"It does appear to be feeding on medium and small humanoids. If it were hungry enough, it could attack us, and venom's not a nice thing. Burn it Tortella,and we'll be ready to defend ourselves should the creature advance maliciously in our direction."

I'm assuming I can "spark" something in here.
Tortella gurgles something Orcish and arcane, then snaps his fingers creates a bright spark nearby.

Lecky draws out his guisarme as soon as Lia pointed the spider,

"Did it finish the job"

Tortella creates a spark and the webs light up in a flash, traveling down the narrow room and encompassing the spider for a brief moment before dying out.

Fire Damage Spider: 1d6 ⇒ 4

The spider begins moving toward the party, still smoking.

Talathel fires an arrow, before moving behind Lecky!

Talathel fires an arrow. It strikes home, sticking in the spider.

The spider moves forward and tries to bite Talathel.

Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Talathel Fort Save vs DC 14: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The spider's mandibles sink into the elf's arm. As the mandibles withdraw, Talathel feels the wound begin to burn. Talathel takes 1 pt. STR damage.

Party up!

Lia draws her sword and approaches the spider.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

With one mighty stroke, Lia cuts down the spider.

Talathel takes another 1d2 ⇒ 1 pts STR damage.

"See, I told you I hate spiders' poisons... My arm is feeling numb, so I guess that arm wrestling match is out of the question now ey, Lecky?"

He checks for other injuries.

"Onward. I'll be fine!"

Tortella searches for gold and the like.

Searching the room, the party finds, next to the remains of one of the two dead kobolds wrapped in the webbing is a small purse containing 30 gp and a pearl of power (1st level).

The party sees a hallway leading out of the narrow room to the west. Following the hallway, the sees a door halfway down the hallway, while the hall continues to the south, leading back to the room where the skeleton was.

"Where to now Maurit?" says Lecky lowering his weapon, his voice sounds somewhat that he is getting used to Maurit leading them around.

Rubbing his arm, Talathel agrees. "You have led us well Maurit, please continue to do so."

Sorry, busy couple of days.

Maurit points to the door midway down in the western the wall. The party enters to door to find, three rounded alcoves in this chamber contain the rotting remains of scroll shelves, honeycombing from floor to ceiling. Scattered amid the compromised shelving are damaged scrolls, and a number of still-sealed scroll tubes. A glimmering trickle of water seeps down from the ceiling in the northwest corner of the room.

Lia begins to look through the scrolls, searching for any that might be the documents the party is looking for.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

"I don't understand what it says, maybe our wizard can help us."

"Spells?" Tortella perks up and searches for anything good.
