Game Master Hawkwen Agricola

sandy will check the door and see if it is safe.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

The door appears to be unlocked and not trapped, though you do notice that the bottom seems to be swelled from contact with water.

Anybody doing anything?

Waiting on front line to open the door.

"There's water in the next room? How odd."

i'll asssist in trying to open

Sorry I have been out all day

Sandy takes note of the water and gently pushes the door open. weapon at the ready.

Perhaps a fountain is overflowing

"This ruined tower is full of strangeness..." Maddie remarks as Sandy opens the door, prepared to fire her crossbow at any aggressor that might be waiting for them.

Opening the door, Silvi and Sandy see a huge frog, the size of an ox, sitting in the middle of the room. When it see the the pair, it croaks hungrily and begins to move in their direction.

Sandy moves up to the frog to intercept it's movement and sings his ax with both hands.

To big to close the door on it, who wants frog legs.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

HOW DO I ROLL TWO ONES!?

COH whispers the witch, in an effort to stop this fight before it truly begins.

Slumber hex, DC14

1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12

With a whispered word from Birgit, the party sees the giant frog pause and settle to the ground, apparently asleep.

Note- the frog is only asleep for one round.

i'll hold my action and have the tree give it a love trap when it goes to sleep... the tree will then cutagraw it miss understand me...

Taking a brief moment to assess the situation, Maddie waits to see if the others can finish the monstrous frog off before she wastes a crossbow bolt on it.

Readying an action to fire crossbow if the frog awakens again.

Silviana sends her companion to put the frog down for good.

Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Frog Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

The sapling treant slams it's limbs down on the giant frog and the amphibian's life is extinguished.

With a sigh, Maddie steps around the frog remains and peers into the room, looking around for anything of interest if there appears to be no additional enemies around.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

"Good work, everyone." Han will also take a look around.

1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Now then, lets see where all this water is coming from.
Perceptoin: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Maddie's and Han's intial search turns up nothing, but as Sandy examines the room, he finds that cracks in the walls and ceiling have allowed rainwater to collect in the chamber, giving rise to a profusion of molds and fungus along the walls and ceiling. During the course of his examination, he spies a small jade statue of an angelic being lying among debris under a broken table.

"That is interesting, but there is still something upstairs." Atum says in a monotone voice while standing at the door waiting for everyone to finish searching the room. "Once we take care of it, then we can fix the plumbing."

Agreed. sandy says as he pockets the idol. Upwards and onwards my friends.

The group decides to head back up the stairs. Balenar pipes up offering, All I know is that the next level is the last and the apparent leader keeps his quarters up there.

"Well then why do we not say hello to the master of the house?"

"Yes Lets."
sandy keeps an eye out on the way up.
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

sealthy please...

As Maddie follows the group up, she addresses the rescued bard, "Mr. Forsend, is there anything else you might know about this troglodyte leader that might assist us in dealing him? His abilities, proclivities, weapons, armor?"

Atum will stand at the top of the stairs with Sandy and wait for Forsend to finish speaking before throwing the door open and walking inside.

Balenar shrugs in response to Maddie's question. I know no more than I have already told you. The few times I've glimpsed him...um...he wasn't wearing armor. He carried a scimitar...I think. he grins sheepishly. I was a little disposed at the time. As Atum and Sandy climb the final flight of stairs, they see above that unlike the other floors, there is no door or landing per se, rather the stairs appear to end on the last level.

Atum will walk up with his bardiche at the ready and enter the room.

As the heros ascends the stairs, they find themselves on the top floor. Glancing around the room, they see a large troglodyte with his back to them. He appears to be staring out the window toward Absalom. Over in a corner, you see a large albino crocodile, apparently napping.

Han will move slightly forward to T13.

With her features obscured by her cloak, Maddie points an accusing finger at the large troglodyte, calling upon the power of Pharasma to fill it full of dread.

Casting Doom on the troglodyte, DC 14 Will Save

sandy will move up to behind the Trog, placing the blad end of his ax against the back of the Trog's neck and say "We have you, surrender and you may be allowed to leave this place.

Atum will stride confidently up to V10

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Maddie casts a spell on the troglodyte, based on it's change of stature, she believes the spell is successful.

Atum moves forward, closing on the big albino croc.

Sandy tries to close the distance between himself and the trog.

@Sandy, based on 30' speed. You don't quite make it to the trog. DO you want to change your action?

with the frosty, whispered breath COH

Birgit sends out another frost ridden hex at the troglodyte.

Will: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 2 = 15

The troglodyte sways, but rubs his eyes and stands firm.

Will wait just a little longer for Silvie, then move on

Tree to x 12 silv 5th and cast entangle on them

Sorry forgot that we has surprise

Silvi's treant companion moves up to threaten the troglodyte.

Sliviana casts a spell, but no one sees any results from it.
There are no plants anywhere to be seen Silvi

Balenar watches the party, apparently waiting for a signal or direction.

Sandy, Han, and Balenar are up, then the Trog. Let me know what you would like Balenar to do

MAP

Han moves up to W3 and will continue his tale. "And how the hero tried to fight against Davy Jones, he would fall as he is stabbed right next to his beloved. But before his soul is taken by the goddess, he musters enough strength to stab the monster right in his miserable black heart."

No plants...

how does the Trog react? Does it appear that he is giving up?

No, though his posture sagged a little after Maddie's spell, he looks to be itching for a fight.

Seeing that his foe is not likely interested in being diplomatic, Sandy strikes before he can gain momentum. "Don't say I didn't give you the opportunity to do this peacefully.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Han begins regaling his companions with an inspiring tale.

Sandy tries to strike at the troglodyte, but misses.

Balenar draws his bow and fires at the crocodile. The arrow hits, sinking deeply into the creature.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

The troglodyte turns and snarls at Sandy, before moving away and chanting in a tongue the Silviana recognizes as Druidic. Suddenly a swarm of tiny spiders materializes and begins attacking Sandy and the treant.

With a look of grim determination, Maddie moves away from the swarm, then targets the large troglodyte with her crossbow.

Moving counterclockwise around the stairs to O9
Crossbow attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Atum swings his might bardiche, bringing it down squarely on the croc's head. The crocodile spasms and moves no more.

Seeing the croc go down, Silvi sends her companion at the troglodyte. It crashes it's club-like limb down hard on the trog's shoulder.

Silvi casts a spell and a halo-like glow appears over Sandy.

Maddie fires her crossbow at the troglodyte, but the bolt goes wide.
