Game Master Terquem

West Chamber, Number and location of exits

Number of Exits: 1d20 ⇒ 6

There is one exit in the small chamber

Location of Exit: 1d20 ⇒ 4

It is in the center of the far wall and it is

Type of Exit: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Width: 1d20 ⇒ 9

10' wide

South Chamber Contents: 1d20 ⇒ 6
The South Chamber is also Empty

North Chamber Contents: 1d20 ⇒ 2
And the North Chamber is also Empty

A d20 can be rolled for each chamber (north or south, please identify when you roll) to find out if there are exits from these other chambers

WME details

CR?: 1d20 ⇒ 20

ohhhhhhh, a CR = APL +3
party is 6, 2nd level characters, that's 12, divided by 4 equals 3...so this is a CR 6 encounter!

Table to use: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Table 1

Monster type: 1d100 ⇒ 21

A Single CR 6 animal comes wandering by, hmmm how about an improved Dire Lion?

Sure, why not? LOL. Might be time to die.

At least there's more of us now...

How far away is the lion when you realize it is coming?

How far?: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 x10'

it is 100 feet away.

the map is updated, I'll get a round 1 post with details up soon

Holiday Message
For all the players in the United States – I know the next week can be hectic for most of us (I have adult children, four of them, one lives in Hawaii, one in Boise, and the other two in my city of Idaho Falls, and the crazy people are all coming home for Thanksgiving! Ah I’m going to go nuts.) so I don’t expect everyone to be on top of the posting for the next week, but you will see me occasionally. Thanks.

My wife just spent the better part of the last 4-5 weeks in Boise.

Hey all, I'll be traveling tomorrow through Saturday. I'll try my best to post but will be way out in the boondocks in Virginia so my connectivity may be low.

just to confirm, should i be posting an action this turn or was hiding my action?

Well, I think hiding is a half of the actions you can take, so you can do something else, I suppose. I'll update today, and the lion will be closer.

i will just hide first until the lion and someone else start to fight. a lion is a lot bigger than i am, after all!

Day 3, 292/89 (Current Turn/Turn of the Clock, time 2:50 pm) Turn 1 of 6
Round 1
Looking for actions for round 1

The Gretch, Devon, and Eckowo

The Lion has moved (though I have not updated the map) and is in the space defined by AB/AC|-16/-15. That is 60 feet away from Eckowo.
The Gretch, Gronx (who is hiding), and Slugg (also hiding) can take round 2 actions, or keep hiding. When the Lion goes in Round 2, he will enter the room and make his perception check.

I hope I didn't lose some of you due to the slow down as a result of the holiday?

I will update the game thread as soon as I know what the players are going to do, and as a reminder, if you think it will help, you know you can always talk to each other, Out of Character if that helps, in this thread, or in character in the game thread if you need to plan a strategy.

Slugg will continue to hide until the lion has attacked another character.

Gronx will attack from hiding (getting a sneak attack) once the lion is engaged with someone else.

Time Out!

Give me a bit of time to contack the absent players, otherwise I really think if I did not throw a big joke into this encounter, if I played it straight, this Lion is going to wipe the floor with the Gronx, Izabek and Slugg.

I now the pace can slow down, but I have not abandoned this game. I am sending PMs out now.

Ok, I'm back.

sorry, i didnt see the time out until i already rolled. wasnt a good roll anyway so i wouldnt mind if we ignored it, hahaha

I'm here. All my games hit a lull just as work kicked up another notch, so I got out of the habit of checking for new posts. I'm trying to get back into them now. Thanks for the poke, Terquem.

NEWS flash – Hello everybody, Happy Holidays, oh and North Carolina is a beautiful state

NEWS Flashy Flash – getting your flight cancelled, but being told by your employer that you are going anyway so you drive 200 miles in a rental car to the next airport, get rerouted through Los Angeles on a red eye flight at 12:30 am that lands in Charlotte at 8:00 am and then spending the whole day inspecting a machine and documentation so you don’t sleep for 36 hours, not so beautiful, then fly back the next day.

NEWS Flashining – I’m home now, sorry for the delays, I will try to update today, and maybe tomorrow. I expect everyone will be distracted for the next couple of weeks, but that’s okay, we will keep these games floating. Expect to see me post every couple days or more frequently, but no pressure on anyone else. Happy Holidays, again, enjoy

UGH that sounds terrible, get you some rest and hot chocolate! (maybe irish hot chocolate)

If you celebrate the holiday, then Merry Christmas to you, if you do not, then peace be with you in these winter days

Wont be on for a bit, having my birthday dinner with some friends and likely to be fairly tired, if not hung over, for a portion of tomorrow.

I’d like to take this time to remind everyone that you are creating the dungeon, so if I have described the area, and indicated there is say, a passageway to the west that has been unexamined or unexplored, that should be a clue to you that anyone can go to the discussion thread and roll d20, Periodic Check table, and establish what comes next.
Are there any questions?

Periodic Check for Izabek checking the western passageway: 1d20 ⇒ 20

!

A Wandering monster is coming toward the party from the west

first let's check the passageway again
1d20 ⇒ 1

The passageway goes straight to the west 60'

What kind of monster is it?

CR of encounter: 1d20 ⇒ 6
Table to use: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Type of monster: 1d100 ⇒ 4

A Single Aberration, Cr 2 is the encounter

ALSO, I'd like to get see a check in, here in this thread for all players still interested in participating in this game, we mave lost a couple of players and I will send out some PMs to find out if they are coming back

I am still here and paying attention, interested in continuing.

I'm still here.

I'm here!

I've sent private messages to Devon and The Gretch, and there has been no reply. I suppose I'm going to have to remove them from the map, maybe they'll be back. Sorry guys but it looks like you are down to 4 players, but the good news is you have the core characters I am looking for, so let's move on.

I'm at OwlCon this weekend but I'll try to post when I get a chance.

I've got to run over to Boise, about 5 hours from where I live, to deliver a rebuilt computer to my son in college there this weekend, and I won't be back till Sunday. Great posts, everyone, sorry for the delay.

Also, I sent a PM to Gronx but received no reply, I may be recruiting for new players

Okay, that was stupid of me, I sent messages to Gronx, when I was supposed to send messages to Slugg!

Sorry Gronx!

sorry! i was reading this whole time. i just wasnt posting because Slugg was knocked out hard hahaha

Well, you are concious now, but staggered, at 0 hit points, and not dying.

I should hsave been more clear about certain things. Let's try to keep the dungeon generation rolls here in the discussion thread.

Please note that many of the Party Members are injured at this time!

Looks like weve found a New Passageway, let's go to Table III

What Kind Of New Passgeway is it?: 1d20 ⇒ 4

It is a side passageway

where is it?: 1d20 ⇒ 10

It is on the left, and the passageway you are in continues 60 feet ahead

How wide is the new passageway?: 1d20 ⇒ 14

it is 15 feet wide!

Periodic Check: 1d20 ⇒ 12

How many Doors?: 1d20 ⇒ 12
there is only one door

Where is the door: 1d20 ⇒ 8

It is on the right

How far away is the Door?: 1d6 ⇒ 2

It is 40 feet (30 feet of passageway, then it is in the second 5 foot section) after the turn to the south

What Kind of Door is it?: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Ah, newer Revision (5) of the tables say it is a Metal Door!

Is it Locked?: 1d20 ⇒ 6

No

Is it Trapped: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Hmmmm, maybe it is

What is the CR of the Door Trap?: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Well, that's not good at all...CR 6 Magical Trap

But the good news is the passageway goes on, want to inspect the Door, or Roll andother Periodic Check?

Is it a recessed door (1-3) or is it Flush (4-6)

1d6 ⇒ 3

We are continuing down the passageway.

Periodic Check: 1d20 ⇒ 17

There's a chamber!

Location: 1d20 ⇒ 19

There's 2 chambers!

Chamber 1 (on the left)
Size: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Contents: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Exits: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Empty chamber (20'x30')

Chamber 2:
SizeRight: 1d20 ⇒ 14
ContentsRight: 1d20 ⇒ 1
ExitsRight: 1d20 ⇒ 18

I’m not sure (I am in the middle of a revision to the Tables) but isn’t a 19, on Chamber Location a results of 3 chambers?

Anyway, let’s examine those two for now.

Since you are going south, Chamber 1 (on the left) is to the east
And Chamber 2 (to the right) is on the west.

Chamber 1, is 20’ (east to west) and 30’ (north to south) with 4 exits!
exit location#1: 1d20 ⇒ 7
exit type #1: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Opposite wall (east), a Passageway

exit location#2: 1d20 ⇒ 16
exit type #2: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Right wall (south), another Passageway

exit location#3: 1d20 ⇒ 3
exit type #3: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Opposite wall (east), A Door !

exit location#4: 1d20 ⇒ 13
exit type #4: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Left wall (north), a Second Door

We need 2 - d20 rolls to determine the types of doors
Door #1 (east)
Door #2 (north)
And 2 - d20 rolls to determine the passage widths
Passage #1 (east)
Passage #2 (south)

Chamber #2 (to the west) is 30’ (east to west) and 50’ (north to south) it contains either a trick or a trap!

Table VI.: 1d20 ⇒ 14

It is a Trap, with a CR = 4

What Kind of trap?: 1d20 ⇒ 8

A Melee Attack trap is hidden in that chamber, somewhere!

There are 3 exits from this chamber

exit location#1: 1d20 ⇒ 7
exit type #1: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Opposite wall (west), A Passageway

exit location#2: 1d20 ⇒ 20
exit type #2: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Right wall (north), Another Passageway

exit location#3: 1d20 ⇒ 6
exit type #3: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Again on the opposite wall (west), and a third Passageway

we need 3 - d20 rolls for the passage widths

Passage (West, #2, North)
Passage (west, #2, South)
Passage (North, #2)

19 is "On the Left and Right, passage continues straight ahead 60’" I wasn't sure how to interpret it, so I figured it was just 2. Heh, took my lunch break in between the edits.

it is currently 11pm on Thursday where I am.

I'm going to sleep now, and tomorrow I am going to work early and working straight through 36hrs or so. I may be in in the mean time, but it is not a certainty.

I will be back on about 42 hours from this post.

Please "bot" me as necessary.

Periodic Check: 1d20 ⇒ 13 New Passage!
Passage Type: 1d20 ⇒ 12 It turns
Left or Right: 1d20 ⇒ 6 Left
Width: 1d20 ⇒ 6 10 Feet wide

If nothing else happens, we'll make another periodic check as we continue along the passage.

Periodic Check: 1d20 ⇒ 20 Wandering Monster!
Threat: 1d20 ⇒ 8 CR=APL! (I think it's 2)
Monster Encounter Matrix: 1d20 ⇒ 11 Table 2!
Monster Type: 1d100 ⇒ 60 Magical Beast (Single)!

back!

I got flattened by a cold this weekend, sorry for the delay

East Passageway width: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Before we set the wandering monster encounter that was identified by the Periodic Check, we need to know what is ahead of the party

A Periodic Check, ignoring WME results
1d20 ⇒ 9

There are one or more doors ahead

1d20 ⇒ 14

One Door (the passageway continues on)

Where is the Door?: 1d20 ⇒ 5

It is on the left

What kind of door is it?: 1d20 ⇒ 1

It is a Metal Door

Now I can build the encounter map
The WME is either coming from ahead of you, or behind you 1-3 it is behind you
1d6 ⇒ 3

It is behind you, but how far (40 to 90 feet)

1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

A CR 3 Magical beast is 90 feet behind you, let's see how stealthy it is
Not a stealthy kind of beast: 1d20 ⇒ 9

I've been busy lately, and frustrated, because I want to keep up on all my games, but things are not working out the way I want them to.

I must attend a class, and will be away from computers on Monday and Tuesday, so unless I can update tonight, you won’t see me again until Wednesday, sorry for the inconvenience.

No problem.

I sent another PM out to Gronx, but no reply, looks like we are without a rogue. I'll head over to the recruitment thread and try to see if we can find a new one.

Sounds good.
