Damage on my off-hand attack should be at -1 from what I wrote. Forgot to halve on offhand attacks.

Initial:
Hops Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Oh no!
Str damage: 1d2 ⇒ 1

---

On his turn:
Hops Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Hops rears up in anger at the spider but, being cut off, Jorgan calls him over to help against the other. The two work as a team to cut down the red spider.

gore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

dwarven waraxe: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

And the giant centipede disappears.

Hops feels the poison course through his veins but for an instant causing the yak's legs to quiver. The yak charges the spider in anger as Jorgan swings his waraxe at it. The yak rams the spider as it is distracted by Jorgan's blade.

Wren moves forward as he precisely slams an arrow into the red spider's belly dropping it to the ground as Vanderhoff slides around in the spider's ichor all over the broken floor.

Torgan swings both of his axes at the green spider in a flurry. Though only his waraxe seems to connect cleaving off one of the beasts legs. The creature seems momentarily dazed allowing Kraygan's waraxe to find it's mark.

Torgan 1; Kraygan 2: 1d2 ⇒ 1

The spiders rears up in a fury as it bites back at Torgan.

Bite vs Torgan AC 18: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

The spider misses Torgan as it seems to be confused and staggers about.

His military training settling in, Kraygan attacks with precision and steps to the creature's side to give Wren a clear shot.

"ARHHH!"

Waraxe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Round 4, Init 19

Wren dances across the floor to shoot at the green spider.

I move well for an old one.

1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 12 to hit (PBShot, combat);
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 piercing damage.

But shoot like a blind one.

Thanks Kray.

AC 13

Remembering what Wren warned them about, Jorgan waits until after the elf has loosed his arrows before charging in with his pet on the last spider.

gore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

dwarven waraxe: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Torgan swings his axes at the spider, but it is a futile attempt as he clearly can't see more than the five spiders in front of him.

Dwarven Maulaxe: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 2 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Dwarven Waraxe: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 - 2 = 3
Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The combined assault from Hops Jorgan. Torgan and Kraygan all seem to slide rough off of the creature as it's hide seems to be a bit tougher than the other spiders.

Seeing the spider surrounded, Vanderhoff drops his axe, picks up his lucerne hammer, steps southwest, and swings at the spider.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

But, the big yak blocks his swing...

Vanderhoff picks up his hammer on the way to the spider but shifts the weight of the hammer as to not hurt Hops.

The spider sees the giant yak and begins to skitter back and bites at Kraygan.

Bite vs Kraygan AC 20: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Fort save: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14 Whooo!

"Ow!" Hurt, but holding firm against the poison once again, Kraygan pursues the skittish spider and lays into it.

Waraxe (flanking): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10

Kraygan slams his axe into the spider dropping it to the ground once and for all.

Out of Combat

An abandoned hopeknife rests on one of the shelves in the bookcase to the northeast.

Ah Piddlespot, that was a big ass, hairy ass spider.

Wren looks about for more spiders before slowly relaxing his bow.

Ah Piddlespot, that was a big ass, hairy ass spider.

"Ah Piddlespot, that was a big ass, hairy ass spider," Wren utters dryly.

Wren examines the spider's bodies and looks around.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 Perception
high=good: 1d2 ⇒ 1 recover arrow

"Good thing that yak can stamp, Jorgan. Remind me to stay away from that thing's backside."

Kraygan hacks the spider twice more for good measure, then gives a victory cry and kicks the corpse down the hall.

"Huzzar! Och, that's me hurt leg!"

Inspecting his wounds, he makes a pathetic attempt to bandage them.

First Aid (no supplies): 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (9) - 2 = 7

"Hoff, you remember to say yer prayers 'fore beer this mornin?"

clw on Hops: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Jordan chuckles at Wren. "Aye, I been teachin' 'im."

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Jordan goes over to the bookshelf to inspect the hopeknife and calls out, "This here bookshelf's got a rotten backside! Kind o' like you, Torgan!" he chuckles as he pushes it open.

Kraygan attempts to mend his wound but is doing little good to it as Jorgan heals Hops injuries.

After a few moments Jorgan inspects the hopeknife which reads "For Rodrik, My Love". Grabbing the hopeknife Jorgan notices that there is a false back in the shelf and pushes it open. Inside he finds a number of items to include:

• An ornate gold coffer studded with numerous gems
  
• 2 iron flasks with contents still within
  
• A beat up steel scroll case containing two scrolls
  
• Two vials of holy water.

Loot List is added to the top that everyone can edit

I just added in the gold amounts for each character for you to track. Mainly so if you find a cache of just gold I can split it 5 ways and just deposit it. You can use the tool if you wish or not. Up to you :)

Wren sniffs at the iron flasks, assuming that they barely distilled hoochshine.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 Perception to ID potion

"Unless any of you dwarves can actually read mind, I would take these scrolls for later study. They might be of use once I figure out what they say," Wren asks.

* * *

Wren lines up facing the south room, arrow knocked, waiting for it to be opened.

"Good eyes Jorgan!" Kraygan hobbles closer to look over the objects recovered, including the hopeknife. "So is this Rodrik's missin knife then, or the replacement?"

At Wren's statement, he merely shrugs. "If they be magical, Hoff might be able to figure 'em out."

Has anyone opened the coffer yet?

It is the knife that Brinya gave Rodrik that he lost.

Wren sniffs at one of the iron flasks and recognizes the shimmering liquid as a potion of Shield of Faith.

No one has opened the Coffer yet.

"All yours, Wren." Torgan comments as he stares at the coffer.

"Hmm..." he mutters as he stares at the box, inspecting it before opening it.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Torgan stares at the coffer as he turns it in his hands over and over. Seeing nothing suspicious he opens the small metal container to find.....it empty.

While the others play with what Jorgan assumed to be some dumb jewelry box, Jorgan and Hops move to the south and let themselves in through the door there. "C'mon, quit fussin' over a stupid box!"

Torgan shakes it to see if anything makes noise. "Stupid empty box."

Jorgan opens the door to the southern room. Two iron doors connect this small stone extension to the Plague House's main building. A large steel lockbox sits in front of a steep stone staircase that winds down into darkness. But more importantly three large dire rats are released into the main room as the door is opened as they scurry all about with shrill shrieks.

Torgan picks up his waraxe from being embedded in the floor and moves through the other room as he remembered a door in the barracks. He stands at the ready to attack any dire rats that come into his room with his dwarven maulaxe and waraxe.

Torgan grabs his axe as he moves back into the room full of burned patients beds. He hears scratching and loud screeching coming from beyond the door now.

Sorry, away this weekend. Before moving on, Vanderhoff would have healed Kraygan. CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Vanderhoff grabs his axe and moves toward the party.

Yup No problem I kind of assumed you would have healed him.

Vanderhoff grabs his axe as he attempts to squeeze past the small group to see what all the squeaking is about.

The Red and Green rats scurry all about as they run straight at Jorgan.

Red Acrobatics DC 18 to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Green Acrobatics DC 18 to avoid AOO: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

The two rats run right in between Jorgan's legs and past him as the blue rat bites at him from the doorway. The red rat bites at Wren as the green rat bites at Hops.

Red Bite vs Wren AC 13: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Green Bite vs Hops AC 12: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Blue bite vs Jorgan AC 15: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 1 + 2 = 20
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1 + disease

The blue dire rat bites right through Jorgan's shoe and into his foot causing his foot to begin to swell.

Round 1

"Ah Piddlespot! Are you trying to shoo them right at me!?" Wren oaths as he dances back (5' step) to take a shot at red.

1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14 to hit; (PBS)
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 damage.

Back in my day, the rats lived in basements...and that's where you went to kill them.

AC 13, Face=Grumpy

In the middle of thanking Vanderhoff for healing his wounds when the rats swarm out, Kraygan nonetheless finds himself close enough to aid the worried old elf.

"Don't worry, I'll cover ye." Kraygan steps between Wren and the rat and chops down at the vermin.

Waraxe + Flanking: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

"My thanks, dwarf. I appreciate your axe and your ass, but the rat was already dead from my arrow," Wren quips.

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Jorgan finds himself suddenly surrounded by rats and does his best to take them out quickly!

dwarven waraxe at blue: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

gore at green: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Wren steps back and fires an arrow into the rat that is the size of a small dog. The arrow slams into the creatures hind quarter as Kraygan moves in and finishes the rat with the blade of his axe.

Jorgan fights off the poison as he slams his axe into the green rat beside him. Hops begins to get frantic and tries to step on the large rat but the rat is too nimble as it darts in between the yak's large hooves.

Torgan kicks in the door with his steel-toed boot. The rotting wood gives way to kick and the door slams into the small wall behind it. He doesn't see anything behind the door, so he moves around and sees the blue rat attacking his brother.

"Rats! I 'ate rats!" Torgan says as he keeps his weapons at the ready.

Move: Open Door; Move: Move to position

Vanderhoff moves up behind the yak, drops his axe, and attacks the rat with his lucerne hammer.

Hammer!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Torgan bravely moves into the room containing a lone rat now as Vanderhoff slams his hammer into the dire beast. Vanderhoff's hammer makes a soft splash and as he pulls it back the stone seems cracked as small bits of grime and rat gore cling to the head of his hammer.

The remaining rat continues to bite at Jorgan through the door.

Bite vs Jorgan AC 15: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Jorgan's armor seems to stop the brunt of the rats sharp teeth from piercing into his skin.

Round 2

Wren almost averts his eyes as he shoots wildly through the dwarfscrum at the remaining rat.

1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 - 4 - 4 = 0 to hit (PBShot, -combat, -cover);
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 piercing damage.

That was probably not the best idea. No, that it was as like to hit a dwarf as not, but that it would be hard to blame one of the other dwarves when I am the only one holding the bow.

AC 13

"Sorry bout bein' in the way, Wren!" Jorgan yells back as he swings at the blue rat.

dwarven waraxe: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Hops shakes his horns around at the green rat.

gore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Oh, I forgot to mention it earlier but you can assume that Hops pretty much always has aspect of the bull going unless stated otherwise. I think that's how it works. It's only a minute if Jorgan uses it but Hops can use it for much longer so it will almost always be on him. Correct me if I'm wrong in that, I've never played a hunter.

"Bah. Damned dwarfpile here!"

I don't think Kraygan can get to melee.

Wren closes his eyes and fires an arrow right over Hops into the nearby bookshelf.

Jorgan swings at the rat at Hops attempts to sqeeze in past him causing his axe to miss. Kraygan idley stands back looking for a route through.

@Jorgan- That is the way that I understand it. Your aspect is in one min increments while your animal companion is indefinite. You can switch them out as you get new ones and if you animal dies then you can use the aspect that was on them without using your own increments.

"Oh, come on! It's jus a rat!" Kraygan rolls his eyes as Jorgan and Hops perform a comedy routine. Spotting Torgan through the door, he puffs out his moustache. "How'd ye get back there?"

Kraygan wanders back, looking for another way around, moving through the "prank" chamber and joining Torgan on the landing of the stairway.

Double move.

Kraygan decides to follow Torgan as he moves back into the room full of fire mouthed undead.

Vanderhoff steps southeast and tries to swing past Jorgan.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Sorry, Jorgan will back up and make room next turn.

Torgan slams his axe into the floor, trying to chop the remaining rat in half, swinging his favored maulaxe before the waraxe.

Maulaxe: 1d20 + 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 2 + 2 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Waraxe: 1d20 + 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 - 2 + 2 = 22
Off-hand Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Torgan slams his axe into the rat nearly splitting it in two thus ending the menace.

Combat Over

Thr group seems to be working together more little by little. Their tactics slowly sync together as their power grows.

You are now level 2

Level 2 already? Sweet!

"Victory is ours again!" Kraygan cheers and slaps Torgan on the back. His head bobbing enthusiastically, he looks around at the group. "I'm feelin pretty good. Feelin kind of invincible."

Do the stairs head down next to Kraygan? Also, did we thoroughly search the northern part of the structure? I don't recall going in there.

Yea the majority of the beginning is the investigation.

The stairs do indeed head down next to you and the northern portion was not investigated. Jorgan just opened the door when the spiders attacked.

Wren looks for the arrow that he missed with.

high=good: 1d2 ⇒ 2 arrow recovery

"Well, we should go back and explore that other room, huh?" Wren says, pulling the nearly intact arrow out of the wall.

Wren leads the way to the other room and takes a gander from outside the door.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Perception

"Yup, let's head back that way before goin down." Kraygan follows Wren, but hangs a left and steps back outside to Haggis for a moment before returning sipping a beer. Finding the elf at the door, he offers a sip, then takes the lead when the elf stops at the door.

"You got any idea about that other flask we found?" He asks over his shoulder.
