Ali manages to take short, quick breaths to ignore the smoke's effects, as she swings using the Ancients' Guidance...
We've got no flanking possibility do we??
[/ooc]
I'd like to 5' step toward a flanking position if someone could move my pog?

Kappi is fighting his panic. He knows it is not helping, but its hard not to break down into total fear ridden panic while being burned in the belly of the iron beast.

<- yeah nope
/cough /cough
Vojtek's lungs burn and he is reminded of the time Grandmother poured yak urine onto the sweat lodge's hot stones rather than the water.
She claimed it was an accident, but Grandfather had been seen leaving Willow Snowfeather's tent the evening before and Vojtek suspected the horrible fumes and smoke were Grandmother's way of reminding her husband to only go ice fishing in the hole in his own home.

Davosh cackles and casts guidance!
Ali's blade (narrowly) misses the stove benefits from Davosh's spell, and hits!
Vojtek spends the round as a choker, a smoker, and a midnight toker!
Kappi struggles inside, but cannot get free!
Edward exits the room relying on his life link to keep Kappi alive and well toasted.
Kappi rethinks wanting an Easy-Bake oven as a child!
The stove continues its assault on Vojtek!
Davosh's Misfortune saves Vojtek from more damage!
[ooc]You guys are up!
Davosh's cackle sputters as he chokes.

And an attack!
Power Attack with Greatsword: for damage
Vojtek finds a yet-unpolluted pocket of air, hot and sooty though it is. He swings at the ridiculous foe, but his eyes still burn and tears spoil his aim. The barbarian's frustration is immense, and he vows to... to... ARGH! Whatever it is, it'll be BAD!
Since the situation is getting desperate, Ali uses her last bit of Arcana to empower her blade (+1 Keen) and strikes!!
FFFAAAAAAK!!!
How do hero points work?

How do hero points work?
Can be used for one of the following:
* Add 1d4 to any d20 roll you have made (and only a roll you have made — i.e., not on another player's roll). The point may be spent any time after the roll but before the final results are known. (And this can't change a natural 1 result.)
* Gain an additional Standard action this turn (can be used as a Move, but not a Swift, if desired).
* Petition the GM for a hint about what to do next. If the GM feels that there is no information to be gained, the hero point is not spent.
* Recall a spell you have already cast or to gain another use of a special ability that is otherwise limited. This should only be used on spells and abilities possessed by your character that recharge on a daily basis.
* Reroll any one d20 roll you just made. You must take the results of the second roll, even if it is worse.
* You can petition the GM to allow spending one hero point to attempt nearly anything that would normally be almost impossible. Such uses are not guaranteed and should be considered carefully by the GM. Possibilities include casting a single spell that is one level higher than you could normally cast (or a 1st-level spell if you are not a spellcaster), making an attack that blinds a foe or bypasses its damage reduction entirely, or attempting to use Diplomacy to convince a raging dragon to give up its attack. Regardless of the desired action, the attempt is accompanied by a difficult check or penalty on the attack roll.
* Cheat Death by spending 2 hero points. Cheating death is the only way for a character to spend more than 1 hero point in a turn. The character can spend hero points in this way to prevent the death of a familiar, animal companion, eidolon, or special mount, but not another character or NPC.
Restrictions:
* No ability to Act Out of Turn (too difficult to adjudicate in PbP).
* No hero point feats , spells, or magic items.
Whoa... Can I cast a spell? Am I reading that right?
to do 25 damage.
Vojtek's blade crashes into the side of the stove, gashing it!
Kappi takes the opportunity to escape the belly of the beast at that very instant!
Davosh tries to cackle, but his laughter dissolves into a coughing fit as he takes a lungful of the belching smoke!
I didnt think I had any hero points available. IN case I'm wrong, I'll damend well spend one!!
<--Crit Threat!!
(1 of this is acid, whoopie--but it will take 1 point ongoing acid damage. No fort save since it can't be sickened...)
Edward's arrow lands in a critical...make that VERY critical... spot, and the entire stove collapses into a pile of scrapped metal and cooling embers!
Once free and able to look, Kappi notices the engraved plate that pronounces the once-animated stove to be "The Gobbler" and notes a curious dragon emblem etched on its door.

Ali wipes the sweat off her brow after fighting the nasty appliance. Boy, that thing really fought with convection! I think we all deserve to be braised after that. And I'm glad whatever plans it had, we boiled them!!
No longer facing immediate death, the Varasian lad looks quite comical. His skin is covered with black soot and his bright white eyes are blinking as his tears are running from choking on the smoke. Kappi does his best to get up and thank everyone for saving his life but he collaspes in a pathetic burst of coughing.
The lad unties his head scarf and uses it for a moment to dry his eyes and badly smear the ash on his face. Then he reties the scarf nice and tight, by the time he is done he seems to have put this whole "near death experience" behind him. The rogue looks around the room for any missed treasure or secrets.
The lad gives one more weak cough then he goes and listens at the final north double doors while the barbarian murder hobo catches his breath.
Perception
Daovsh looks his party over, and tries to clean some soot off of Kappi. When he gets some on his fingers, the warlock rubs it on his face like war paint, "I thought you were gone my boy. You're too young to be an ancient. I'm glad you're out."
He looks at the party, "I think we've done all we can this day. I have little magic left, and I'm tired. Let us finish this floor and be gone. I'd like to keep that pot. Methinks I could someday brew you all some good grog in it."
He calls Liska to him before turning his attention to Votjtek. With a slight nod the witch gives the Northman a gentle Eye

Watching Kappi make a mess of himself (and Davosh not particularly helping), Ali can't stand it anymore. As he goes to retie his scarf, she chuffs out a breath. Oh, let ME do it!! she then takes the edge of the scarf already moistened with the rogue's tears (no, she does NOT spit on it too) and does a better job cleaning his face with it with one hand, while firmly holding his chin with the other. When she's done, she nods firmly and hands the scarf back. THERE.
...Davosh then applies war paint to Ali.
YAAARRRR!!!
Once Kappi and Vojtek are back on their feet, the party checks out the last door on this level. Crates and barrels fill this storeroom, and a rack hangs on the eastern wall dangling with kitchen equipment and utensils, above a shelf covered in small glass containers. Shallow laundry basins stained a rusty brown inside sit in the southeast corner. A faint, sickly-sweet odor hangs in the air.
Hanging from one of numerous hooks driven into the ceiling overhead is the torso of a hapless victim, limbs removed and exsanguinated here to be fed to the trolls below.
^This.
Vojtek is level 5 too, I forgot to level cause I think there was a hurricane or something. I'll level ASAP. Hopefully today or tomorrow.
