Janasen's Gentlemanly game of Wrath of the Righteous

Game Master Mythrillynx

Wait, the old guy just disappeared in the night?

I was awake all night, so I'll throw out a retro perception, just in case.

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 +2 more if he's chaotic outsider, do ho ho.

-Posted with Wayfinder

perception was already done in an earlier post. he slipped off when you ran inside. Rema was the only one outside at the time.

Ashe looks around in alarm, "I hope he is alright." She begins to search around the church.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

I am sure that's a failure

Ashe returns, "I couldn't find him! Maybe he went on ahead?" she asks with a hint of hope.

Roderic had worked himself into a fervor. Now walking down the tunnel Olivier had scouted along, he was looking for, waiting for one of the abominations to cross his path so that he could send it back to where it came from.

So caught up was he, that he did not notice the group's search for the missing man. As he walked further and further down the tunnel, likely by himself at this point, he started to look around for signs of Olivier and attempted to determine which way he should go.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

So I did not witness this then, or I did?

you did not.

"What are you doing?!" Olivier hissed as the paladin strode down the path in his righteous fury. The sylph made a swipe at the larger man, in what was probably a vain attempt to get him to pause in his tracks. "You can't just go barging through these caves without at least a light. Who knows what sort of trouble you'd be stirring up?"

Rema breaths a sigh "If he so chooses to be rebellious, then he puts only himself at risk. We should continue on without." Rema with his things packed, begins to follow the others.

Ashe says a quick prayer to Saranrae for Horgus, and follows after the group.

Hearing what Olivier said, Ashe finds herself in reluctant agreement with him, "You must be more careful. We don't know what is down here. Unfortunately, I didn't bring any kind of light," she ends with a frown.

"I think I can use this symbol to give light, if one of you wants to bring something back here for me to use it on." Eve pipes up from further back in the line.

Ha, I thought we could all see down here at this point. My mistake.

Responding to the sylph with his good sense slightly tarnished, "I carry the most important of lights within me always." However realizing that while he could here where the figure was talking from, he could not make out the vaguest outline of them within the tunnel. Turning to Eve as her silhouette emerged from the temple, "Right then." Roderic draws his sword. "Can you fill my sword with Iomedaes light?" He presented it in a non-threatening manner as he returned to her side.

Casting Light on the sword.
Eve touches the symbol to the sword, causing it to radiate light. "That should make things a bit easier."

did Olivier scout the room ahead?

After adjusting to the light, Roderic smiles at Eve and says, "Thank you. Onward then." He said turning and walking back down the hallway to the unexplored areas of the tunnel.

"Hold up," Olivier whispered to the party, waving them back. "There's some kind of creature at the far end of the cave ahead." He shook his head. "I'm not sure what it is, but it looks like it's eating something. We may be able to slip past..."

"Eating what? Dead person? It bipedal or not? Details." Arc states. "If it's a demon, we're ending it. No exceptions."

Arc will move forward once not-stealth party progresses.

Ashe looks at the injured elf and back at Olivier, whispering "I am not so sure that we will be able to sneak past it."

For continuity purposes, Arc (if the notion of just killing the thing is presented) will insist on taking point by simply moving forward. If hindered or asked to, she will wait for a cue, but will ensure she's one of the first wave.

Speaking to Arc he said, "Good lets go." Roderic was glad Arc took a similar stance to him towards the vile creatures, though Arc being a Asmodean follower left Roderic to ponder the meaning of their similarities in that regard.

As he walked toward the creature, he signed himself with the sword and kissed the hilt asking Iomedae for strength, and stared at the thing feeding in front of him. Detect Evil towards the creature. It may not have been a demon, but if it was evil it would not be for much longer. Roderic saw more clearly now than ever before in his life, and sought to free all evil things from the torment of their existence.

Also if as I get closer I can make an identifying check, I would like to. And I am moving in for combat fyi.

at the point Roderic and Arc move to the creature is still out of sight. light=20ft torch However you can clearly hear the chewing.

knew I forgot something

Presumably, Roderic and I keep moving toward the sound until someone is attacked by something. I will keep moving towards light's edge if Rod isn't.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Yep. Still en route to the target, ready to strike.

Moving closer to the sound Move action (30ft)

If it is some demon beast evil thingy I do thus:
Roderic sees the beast, feeding on the remains of something. As it turns to attack him he brings his sword upon it.
MW Longsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
As he swipes downward with his only source of light, he is momentarily disoriented and misses the target wildly and takes a good chunk out of the nearby debris.

If this is a non-threatening, alignment compromising target I do thus:
Roderic moves up to it, sword held high and pauses. "What...is this thing?" he remarks to the others present.
Perception to get a better look at it: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Holding until something happens.

to make things clear initiative is up

"Be--!" Olivier tried to call out, but he was too late. "It's eating him!" Only half-remembering that he was one of the few people who could see what exactly had been happening, the pale-haired rogue drew his blade and dashed towards the creature that had engulfed the paladin.

Ashe hears the alarm and makes her way through the passage, cursing to herself the tight corridor that she can't just run through. She arrives in the cavern to see the horror of Roderic being engulfed by some creature!

Double move...couldn't make it all the way there due to cramp conditions. Would like to identify the creature though: Knowledge (history) +8, Knowledge (nature) +8, Knowledge (planes) +10 if any of those apply

sadly no one who could see the creatures could identify these creatures

Being swallowed up, Roderic struggles to break free.

CMB to break Grapple: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Seeing the light fail, Eve whispers "Wait here." and gently leans the elf against the near wall. The former pirate then draws her sword and touches the symbol to it, causing light to radiate form the blade before moving forward.
Casting light, drawing weapon, 5 foot forward.

damn cloakers

When I'm up, I draw my spear and move into combat.

Craig...basically we go...they go...we go they go. the order doesn't matter on here so much. So describe yourself getting out there. Or thats my understanding...and I think we are waiting on Rich?

The order still depends on initiative if anyone beats the enemy they are part of the first group, then the enemy goes, then everyone else. The order within the groups doesn't Matter.

Bueller? (Rich)

Perchance for the future, we can keep stuff (or copies of stuff) that should be player knowledge out of GM spoilers? Kind of defeats the purpose of them.

Arc will move with the light source and ready to (power) attack.

-Posted with Wayfinder

so what you are saying is roll initative?

Int: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

just take your action dude move on the map whatever happy thanksgiving guys

Eve moves forward and takes a horribly off balance swing at the creature encompassing the paladin.
Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Rema joins Eve's side and attempts to stab the mystery creature.

Attack/Dam: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 171d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Despite the creature's best efforts, Olivier managed to slip from its grasp. He then proceeds to slash at the creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Creature A has 15 AC and 15 HP - 4 from Rema's attack.

Creature B has 15 HP and only 13 AC due to the grappled condition.

I give out the hp and AC of the enemies to help with post descriptions.

Hey, really quick: I think that the damage was on the one grappling Roderic, not the one that flew at Oliver.

Eve moves forward and takes a horribly off balance swing at the creature encompassing the paladin.

Rema joins Eve's side and attempts to stab the mystery creature.

I understand that from how the map looked it looked like they were attacking that one. However based on the context of the posts I believe that they were actually further in the room. I corrected the map, if I was wrong feel free to revert to the original character placement and assigned damage.

TLDR: I think the 4 dmg should be on creature B not creature A, assuming Creature B is grappling Roderic.

After struggling against the thing, Roderic attacks with his longsword hoping to cut it off.

MW Longsword (Grappled): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 2 = 171d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

After placing a sizable gash in it, the leathery thing adapted its motion and returned to constricting him. Searching his mind for tales and rumors of something like this, Roderic tried to gain some clue as to what it was.

Knowledge: Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

He yelled to his new companions, "What are these things?!"

Ashe attempts to lull the creature engulfing Roderic to sleep.

Sleep Hex: DC 14

Ashe sighes gratefully, and whispers, "It's asleep for a moment, some can get rid of it if they act quickly."

Ashe, with a worried look, tries to spot the victim of the other blanket thingy.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Rema continues to stab at the leathery thing in of him.

Attack/Dam(spear): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 131d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Due to lack of letters on the map, not sure which one I'm attacking, just doing the rolls. And where Roderic is, cause I don't know what their icon is on the map is, unless its the guy against the wall.
