Heathy's Isle of Dread Thread

Game Master Heathansson

you could. Where you want him?

map

ai-aq 23-31 is darkness....the squares that are black at the corners are the extent of the darkness; I didn't feel like making it all black.

you could. Where you want him?

Sure. Let's put him in AM-AN 10-11, dragging a bag full of giant heads.

heh heh

Is our fly effect still going? If it is, how's this? "Come, giant companion of Altai Spellslinger. Let us see what is to be seen. I think the ledge leads right once we exit the cave, yes? Walk along the wall with your hand on the right-hand wall to guide you. I will fly above you in the same fashion." We will stop when we reach the edge of the spell effect until we have peered around a bit.

"Wait! Waitwaitwait... Don't touch the darkness, at least not yet. I have a spell that should make short of any magical darkness..."

Any ideawhat might cause the darkness? Know (arcana)11+30=41. After I ID it, I think I'll blast it away with a Sunburst spell.

Deeper darkness.

"Ahem."

"HEY! DISPEL THE DAMNED DAKNESS NOW, OR I'LL DO IT FOR YOU!"

AFK for a few hours.

"Shut up, mortal;" you hear a sibilant hissing feminine voice say.

"I am here for the black dragon you have turned into a turtle.
Bring it out here, or I promise you: those who do not die here this day will wish they did.

My Master has been perfecting the art of torture longer than your species has been in existence.

This is your only warning. Comply or face unspeakable horror."

Pip snorts

"Tall words from someone hiding in shadow."

He begins a lilting riff on Lucille

"The boogeyman loves scaring folks
With talk of doom and dread
The funny thing's most of it
Is made up in his head"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

"There are very few monsters who warrant the fear men have of them.

I am one of those monsters."

Sagely nodding, "It is good for one to be confident of their place in life." She doesn't appear to be greatly impressed, however.

"Absolutely nothing any of you say is of any worth whatsoever. Although my time is infinite, nonetheless your trite prattle bores me.
Think about your next few words, for if you do not do as I say, they will be the last you utter which do not consist of horrid screams and begging to be killed swiftly."

you hear this...

Elgan snorts as well.

"Whut is it wit' everwun an' der fascinatin wit' our mascot?" He asks Altai.

Trying my own ID, to see if I can tell what is making that sound.

K:Nature: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (13) + 23 = 36
Survival: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38

It sounds like a big ass rattle snake.

"Dat's a BIG snake dere' chere'." Elgan offers helpfully.

"Dat,... Talks."

Pip groans

"Snakes! Why does it have to be snakes?"

"Yes, what exactly is so special about this turtle?"

who you asking?

The room in general, but I expected a response from the others in the party if any came at all.

"Turtle is good eating. The heart has a beefy taste." says the hissing one.

"Plus you get to spend the rest of your life not in pain."

Elgan grins at Emrael.

"Ah furgits yew ain't bin hangin' roun' us all dat long Chere'. Les' jes' say dat deh turtle ain't allus bin a turtle, til he ran inteh us. But seems lahk ever-whar we goes dere's SUMwun interested in gittin' him fer dere own aquarium."

"Everyone wants to play with Mr Svippypuss. It's so ridiculous"

Pip squints at the darkness

"You're not one of those snake-lady thingamajigs are you? 'Cause I gotta tell ya, that is one creepy look. Plus, there's no lady parts, so why perpetrate? You ain't fooling no one with a basic grasp of anatomy. I mean, sorry whatever drunk demon lord shat you out made you inhabit such a gross body, but why take it out on poor murderhobos like us? I mean, it's not like we are trying to steal YOUR turtle. "

ROFLMAO! 'Steal your turtle!' Lol! :)

Initiative I guess.

Group Init: 1d20 ⇒ 19

SWEET! Elgan goes on 21 :)

You guys win. Your turn......

Elgan shimmers, but fluctuates, as if unable to decide what form to take to deal with the immediate threat. First.

In Other Words, waiting to see if Altai has any spells in mind for this before I go charging in! :)

"Oh well. Let there be... light!"

I'm casting Sunburst in the AO-AP 34-35 intersection. The spell has 80' blast radius - everybody in it takes 6d6=20 damage and, more importantly, are blinded. A successful Reflex 28 save halves damage and negates the blindness. SR check 13+17+4(Greater Spell Penetration)=34. Finally, the burst of light dispels all dakness effects it touches.

That is, unless Snake Girl is undead. Then, all bets are off.

Right on. The darkness goes down.

Who's next?

Pip fires up his trusty axe

"I once knew a gal
Who had no legs
Instead of babies
The b!tch laid eggs

She thought she was pretty
It was kinda sad
What good is a face
When your body's that bad."

+4 atk/dam/charm/fear in effect. We still have Haste on from previous? If not, I'll recast. Next up quilling the rattler

Yeah; haste lasts for damn ever.

Tru dat! ;)

1d3 ⇒ 2
Casting Summon Ally VII, but calling up level 6 monsters. Got 2 JGG's incoming! :)

Elgan whispers in a gravelly, grinding voice, touching his haste-casting charm as he does so. In response the ground in front of them rumbles and heaves, and TWO vine covered stone giants walk up into the chamber with them.

"Wanna let meh fren's play furst? See how bad she rally iz?" Elgan asks Altai with a grin.

Right on.

Emrael and the Gjetost/Claw...

Gjetost moves to AP-AQ 24-25. Can we see the talker/rattler?

Claw remains back where he is. I have the Shield master ability running.

The "rattler" is at AB AC 31-32. She's female human....ish...oidish...with scaly black skin and six arms and rams' horns and six swords from the waist up, and a serpent from the waist down.

She's flanked by two massive cobra like things. Cobras with humanoid faces.

There's some guys in the east tunnels; can't see them too good though.

Going in for outpatient procedure at 5:45am. :P Probably won't feel like sitting at the PC for a day or three. ;)

"Hm. Snake-peeples. Verra dangerous. YEW go first." Elgan says sotto voice to Altai.

Feel free to robot Elgan & the JGG's as needed. :)

Emrael waits to see what the conjured creatures accomplish against these foes, casting mirror image while she delays.

Mirror Image: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

d1, d2, d3, d4 send a barrage of arrows at Gjetost.

the first two fire full, the other two have to move a bit and thus get only one attack.

Gjetost is hit 5 arrows, 6 hp damage, and needs to make a dc 25 fort save or fall asleep.

d1 to d4.....They're all female drow.

The black marilith and the two cobra.....things start chanting in the darkspeech.

Group's attack!!!

Pip changes his riff suddenly. His floating crystal sword begins wailing in a most peculiar way

Switching to Holy Cacophany, to jam incipient spellcastery

Holy Cacophany

Right on; they are farther than the range.

heh heh

Waiting to see what the summoned and conjured creatures do first. Tentative plan will be to dance with the drowesses.

Right on!

Move to AO 20 before dropping Horrid wilting on the demon and her snake buddies. Damage 17d6=62 untyped damage; a successful Fort 28 save halves the damage. SR checks 14+17+4=35 vs the demon, 11+17+4=32 versus Cobra 1, 10+17+4=31 versus Cobra 2.That oughta put a crimp in their chanting.

Fort save for Gjetost 11+20=31. He remains awake. Don't forget that we all still have Mass fly running.

Gjetost floats gracelessly into the air in front of the nearest drow. "You will need to do better than that, little elf", he rumbles before plunging his greatsword into her face.

Move to AO-AP 31-32 before attacking drow 1. Attack roll 12+29-4(power attack)=AC 38, damage 2d8+23+12(power attack)=45.
