Heralding the Coming of the Age of Worms (Inactive)

Game Master Fanguar

Markus is ready, fauchard in hand(s)... behind Pavo, ready to take point.

Creeping down a short tunnel, you enter into a much larger space. On the far side of this shelf, the floor drops away into darkness. The thick, cloying stench of cat hangs in the air. As your light illuminates the area, your gaze falls on another on of this blind monsters, this time garbed in armour, with a thick hide cloak thrown over his shoulders. In one hand he holds an large axe, the other a fist full of leashes attached to three large feline-like animals. At your approach, he shouts a yell and releases the cords.

Markus, Lucid and Pavo are up

Markus steps in front of the dwur and reaches for the lone ugly kitty. Here, kitty kitty...

atk, lone k, fauchard, flat-footed: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
dmg, lone k, fauchard, 2h, sneak: 1d10 + 6 + 1d4 ⇒ (10) + 6 + (4) = 20

Southern cat, flat-footed puts him at AC 13? Hit, max damage.

Staying well in the back Lucid launches magic Missiles at the Grimlock fighter.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 3) + 3 = 12

Is there a map? Many of my spells have areas and where the creatures are will decide on how many Lucid catches. He might could catch all three cats in a glitterdust or pit… just not sure so missileing.

AC:19 T:15 FF:14 / HP:20/29 / Init:+4 / F:+2 R:+8 W:+2 / CMD:20

Taking advantage of his dexterity and ability to catch creatures off-guard, Pavo slips past Sverrir, heading straight for the nearest krenshar before attempting to drive the blade of his enchanted sword into its neck.

Move action:Move to nearest Krenshar Standard Action: Attack with showrtsword.

CURRENT MAP link up top is updated. I forgot about it myself for a bit.

Ah, I looked for it and missed it. Thanks. I have moved Lucid.

I was about to get irritated that no one had posted in a while, then I realized that person was me...*Cough*

Markus drops a cat, Pavo misses and Lucid's spell slams into the Kennel master.

Lucid, Combat Round 2, Init 22

Lucid moves into the room and fires his crossbow.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 71d6 ⇒ 6

Status: Hit Point: 26/26, AC 14, Spells used: 2 Magic Missiles

Senniki sends a pair of arrows at the grimlock

Rapid Shot #2 mw Comp Longbow: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 2 = 23

Markus reacts with precision, making the grimlock pay for his trespass. But the blind brute does not fall, instead dealing a deep wound.

AoO, fauchard: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
dmg, fauchard: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Round 1; Initiative: 6

HP: 51/51; AC: 20/12T/19FF; CMD: 18; SAVES: +9F/+3R/+3W

Sverrir moves to bolster his fellow pointman in Pavo, arching a wild swing at the cat-beast threatening his comrade (one directly opposite Pavo):

Melee: +1 Warhammer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
+1 Warhammer Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Fortunate that he was able to dodge the attacks of these strange cat beasts, Pavo smiles as he sees Sverrir come up to his right side. Bringing his feet together, the acrobat executes a daring leap that took him over the krenshar's body. Rotating his body in the air, he lightly lands with teh krenshar between Sverrir and himself. At an advantage, Pavo takes advantage by jabbing out with both of his blades.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Shortsword attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
sneak damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

dagger attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
sneak damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

Acrobatics check to move through enemy square, ending in flanking position with Sverrir. Standard action to attack krenshar with two weapon fighting. +2 form flanking already included in my rolls.

Can we all please post our combat stats when we post, ala Lucid and Sverrir.
@Pavo: Not that it matters this time, but you can only use TWF on a full round action.
Skipping Ramos

Grievously wounded, the Grimlock falls to Senniki's arrows and Markus and Pavo drop one of the cats.

Lucid, Combat Round 3, Init 22

Seeing the beast up and fighting still Lucid will move for a clear shot and attempts to splash it with a acid.

Pushing his way past Senniki, Ramos runs upto to the last remaining Krenshar, throwing a wild punch in the creatures direction.

Round 3 Init 23
AC: 19 - HP: 24/39

Markus steps back and attempts to skewer the last cat-thing.

atk, fauchard: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
dmg, fauchard: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

AC:19 T:15 FF:14 / HP:20/29 / Init:+4 / F:+2 R:+8 W:+2 / CMD:20

With one krenshar remaining, Pavo takes a five foot step to the north and decides to let loose, both weapons darting in at different angles as they attempt to slip into the krenshar's flank.

Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Dagger: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

With a horrible howl of pain the last cat creature tumbles lifeless to the rough cavern floor. Anyone who poke around on the fallen grimlock finds an exquisite geode(300gp)

The area you are in proves to a wide cavern shelf that end in a great pit that drops into darkness. Crude, iron spike have been driven into the cliff face, offering you a convenient path downward. The shaft's roof is fifteen feet above the cliff's edge and jagged stalactites hang from the ceiling to crowd around your head.

Sending his magic lights out to explore the pit, Lucid reveals that the pit is no more than fifty feet deep and 20 feet across. At the bottom, you catch site of another tunnel leading deeper. About halfway up the face of the far wall of the pit, you see another tunnel and a shallow ledge overhangs its entrance.

Sverrir scowls at the lack of opponents, then grins at the brutal precision of his comrades;

"Heh. Short work of these under-brutes! Bring them on eh?"

The dwur leans out, eyeing the pit with disdain;

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

"Feh! What I would give for an underground still or a barrel of ale!"

Cleaning his two blades on the krenshar's fur, Pavo slips his dagger back into his spring loaded wrist sheath, resetting the sheathes maechanism as he does.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 +4 if it is related to secret objects and conversations.

Smart work, lads... Let's move on. Destiny awaits, or at least some filthy cultists.

Lucid gases into the depths as he moves his Dancing Lights to reveal their secrets.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Perception 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Aye, lets move on. The gruff man rumbles, kicking the corpse of the Krenshar in distaste. Glancing over the edge of the chasm, Ramos points to the two tunnels. Anyone got a preference?

Basically, you need to climb down the cliff to reach the bottom tunnel. The other is ~25 feet down the far side of the pit, so a 20 foot jump would be needed from halfway done the wall

Sverrir leans over the edge eyeing the two options;

"Down we go... either to the depths or we crag-hop halv way down!"

The dwur spits on his palms with a grin;

"Normally have a snifter afore climbing myself... So whose coming?"

Remind me to update our map... This is getting all twisty-turny. Mapper jargon.

We have enough rope? I can go first, someone needs to hold this.. He indicates his fauchard.

Securing himself, he entrusts Ramos and Sver to anchor him to a rock of my sheer strength.

Climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

"Be careful down there"

Senniki peers around looking for threats below, but sees nothing so stays at the ready.

Lucid excepts the large weapon, resting its butt on the ground as he watches the fighter climb. He moves the lights to aid the effort as best he can.

Sverrir wraps the rope around a beefy forearm and braces himself as Markus slowly drops from view.

There are iron spike handholds in the walls. DC10

Markus runs into no issues climbing the 45 feet down to the bottom of the shaft. The scattered rubble of a few broken stalagmites fill the bottom , but other than that, the way appears clear to the tunnel.

Feeling good about himself, Markus gives the "all-clear".

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Senniki will climb down next, taking 10 on the climb down Actually that won't be good enough, he'll need a rope or take off his armor.

Lucid will offer a rope.

What the order down? Markus, Senniki, Pavo, Lucid, Ramos and Sverrir last? If there are no objections that's what we'll go with.

Sverrir will continue to hold steady as the ropes anchor, until all have decided their course of action.

Works for me. Is the rope knotted? Down you go Senniki.

Nevermind the order, I've decided just to skip that particular encounter.

With everyone safely at the bottom, you proceed down a narrow tunnel. After a a few dozen feet, it opens up at the base of another shaft. Unlike the last, this bottom of this one is choked with a mound of rumble piled against the far wall, sloping down almost to the tunnel entrance. Above you hangs a rope bridge connect two parts of a tunnel. The top of the rubble pile is only 10ft from the foot of this other passage. Unfortunately, you are not alone in this pit and two vaguely humanoid creatures with long, tentacle like arms turn menacingly towards you.

As the spindly cave creature ensnares Sverrir, the cantankerous dwur bellows in anger and attempts to bring his hammer to bear, flailing at the aberration wildly;

"GERROFF ME YE RUBBER LIMBED FREAK!!!"
