It's Going Down...For Real (Inactive)

Game Master Gilthanis

Yue, you recognize the vial as a potion of CLW.

-This seems to be a healing potion. Who wants to have it? And what do we do with the coins?

Yue Fei, you peer down the two hallways. Down the eastern hallway, you see a t-junction with another hallwasy that branches east and west about 20 feet down the path. On the western side, you see an odd shaped room, nothing appear visible from you current location.

east hall or west hall?

-There's a room there- points Yue -and a fork there. Where shall we go? I say let's have a look at the room first.

She takes out a coin, "We'll let fate decide. Tails(1) we go west, Heads we go east(2)," flipping it and catching it in her hand.

Coin: 1d2 ⇒ 1
She feels the groves of the coin, "West it is then."

Your group heads down the western hallway. You make it about halfway down, when you hear the sound of something around the corner farther down. Out from around the corner comes 2 men.

The look very surprised to see you, and one raises his crossbow red and points it at you.

Hey, where the hell did you come from? We were here first. Leave!

You think of a response, but there is no time as somethign else comes from underneath and attacks the crossbowmen. Even despite the man is unaware of the impending attack, the creature just misses.

What the..!?

Is there a roll to figure out what it is?

Knowledge planes to know what "EE" is.

I understand that, even though I'm listed first on the list, the rolls were Initiative and thus I'm actually fourth with a score of 14.

I run a block style so all f you guys go before me. If it was 2 of you then me, then the score would matter. Since you all "won init", it matters not to me.

I'll delay my turn, in case any of my companions uses a non-lethal way of dealing with the "thing".

Nitrus will move up, draw a vial and lob a bomb at the gathered group

Lob!: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10
Boom!: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 Ref14 for half. Those around target take 6 or 3 damage

Knowledge (Planes): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Searching her mind, she believes that she may know this eldritch creature of another dimension from her schooling in the drowish schoolings. She get in position behind Fei.

Kavalina looks at the odd formations of stones and rubble, which make up the creature. It is an earth elemental 2 questions

Bandits:

The group, unsure what to do, or who to side with, all wait with baited breath, to see what happens next.

The strange creature made of earth of rock, slams against the same bandit. The crossbow wielding bandit, takes a viscous slam to the chest. You hear bone crunch and snap at the sheer force of the blow. The man, crumples to the ground. The creature than backs away from the other thug around the corner.

red, PA: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 1 = 181d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 3 = 13

The remaining thug, looks to you guys, then at the strange creature.

FU*K this, I am outta here

He will withdraw from battle, past you if you let him. If you want an AOO, you can take it.

Flurries, 5f-step back. I won't AOO the bandit, though I won't let him pass either.

Flurry 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Damage 1: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Damage 2: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Edit: Threat Roll.

Threat 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Party is up.

The bandit, tries to run past Yue Fei, who refuses to let the guy by. He takes two shots at the guy, and drops him a well placed arrow to the man's lower back.

Lol, sorry about being vague. My shots were directed at the Elemental. If I wanted to shoot the bandit, I would have also used AoO against him.

The bandit, unable to get by the group, stands in the corner. Yui Fei takes 2 shots at the elemental around the corner. The first misses and thuds against the wall, the other hits the elemental in the "hand" or what would pass as one.

EE damage: 4

Turns to face the scared bandit, staff pointed to him, "You shall not leave until we rid of this threat."

She chants something in drowish as an aura engulfs the party.

Casted Resistance, +1 on saves

Malok holds his position, waiting for the elemental to make a move.

The earth elemental, seems to disappear then reappear right next to Yue Fei as it comes up through the earth near his feet. He slams the man, hard in the chest. The rocky like "arm", leaves a nasty gash in Yue Fei's chest, blood spreads over his body.

Yue moves back and unleashes a barrage of arrows. The first two sail wide, and clang to the ground. The third however, he corrects for the first two misses and delivers a beautiful arced arrow, that flies through the air and embeds itself right in the creatures head, and penetrates about half way up the shaft, finally stopping as the creature falls to the ground in a lump of earth and stone. The bandit, then looks to your group.

Hey...hey, I got a deal for you. You let me live and go...you can have all my bosses' stuff. Deal?

Combat over!

-You can go freely if you tell us what have you found out about the place. And I'll know if you're lying...

Idk if it will be necessary, but I'll roll Sense Motive just in case he omits details or tries to deceive us to lead us into a trap.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

The bandit looks around, at the group of you.

My boss and I, as he nods at the now dead guy down the passage where the earth elemental took him out, we came here trying to find some nice loot. We got to a room on the eastern side, and saw a set of stairs leading down, and decided to check out this direction a few moments before you guys got here. I swear it. A couple skeletons popped out, but we had each drunk a potion of hide from undead before we got down here. As far as what else lies down here, beats the hell out of me and I am okay leaving it that way. Can I go know?

If not stopped, the other bandit leaves. You go down teh passageway, where the dead "boss" lies, and you examine his body. The leather armor he is wearing, is slightly bloody as he took a slam of rock to his chest. Otherwise it looks of very nice quality. You see a longbow on the ground at his feet. There is a quiver of 20 arrows under his back as well. In his his is a longsword and a sap. He also has a blue potion (cure light wounds), 5 masterwork arrows, 2 tanglefoot bags, 2 thunderstone and 48 gold pieces.

sap, longsword, longbow, 20 arrows, 5 mwk arrows, CLW potion, mwk leather armor, 2 tanglefoot bags, 2 thunderstones

-Ok, you can leave. And next time your life is in danger, you might as well lend a hand.

Will examine the room and check for possible exits, via a Perception check. Also, I'll note down this loot and the previous one, to be split among all, even though I'm mostly playing alone :P

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Also, as no one seems inclined to care for my well-being aside from myself, I'm going to use the just found CLW potion

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Kavalina raises her hand, closing her eyes in thought.

Detect Magic

Yue Fei and Kavalina insect the room the strange earth and rock creature came out from. Other than the deceased man's gear, there is nothing of interest.

Down the next passageway to the east, Yue Fei sees a set of stairs heading down, as the bandit had explained. There is another passage that leads east and than takes a turn south after a brief 30 or so feet.

Yue feels that, should he decide to go down the stairs, he'd want his back safe, si first he heads to the East/South corridor to check there are no more enemies.

-Let's get moving, folks!

Better to be safe than sorry, she repeats her earlier spell.

Detect Magic At Will.

Yue Fei travels down the southern corridor, but doesn't make it far as he sees another strange creature, the same as before waiting at the end of the corridor. It sees the intruders, and starts to move towards the party. Yue Fei, with his honed reflexes is prepared and is able to act before anyone else.

-Oh, noes! Guys, beware!

Yue quickly produces a pair of arrows and tries to shoot them while retreating himself to a safer place.

Flurry of Shoots, while stepping 5' backwards to try to put some meat between himself and the creature.

Flurry 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Damage 1: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Flurry 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Damage 2: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Yue shoots two arrows, but both harmlessly clank off the creatures hardy exterior. The creature, then rushes forward, and tries to slam into Yue Fei with all his force. Yue Fei, nimble on his feet, manages to evade what would pass for the creatures fist, as it slams hard into the ground at Yue Fei's feet.

AC 15 for charging, power attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 - 1 = 12

Okay, I am gonna call this game a fail, and I take responsibility for that.

Yue Fei can gain a level, as he has participated in most of the battles presented. The others I feel have not been around long enough to gain such a level. Yue Fei, you will gain gold to have 2nd level WBL, which is 1000, I think. You started with 150gp I think so you gain 850gp.

Aw, sorry about it, man...
