KC's Age of Worms

Game Master Kobold Catgirl

Nope.

"Looks like they were pretty short on gear, for the common worshippers." Astraden takes a look around when the door is opened further.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 +1 or +2 to DC for distance.

Astraden finds a small, velvet bag containing 20 platinum coins and a golden necklace.

Tanith stares in disbelief as Astraden fishes out another sack of coins.

Shall we assume Farrukh points out what he's noticed?

I wouldn't be surprised if what he noticed was what I just found.

Astraden hands the small bag to Tanith. "Here, carry this until we can divvy it up." She heads further west, rubbing her fingertips together lightly. A faint swarm of violet artifacts collects around that hand.

Assuming we're pushing on, she's casting touch of chaos and holding the charge. If Farrukh wants invisibility I can wrangle that instead.

Assuming Astraden found Farrukh's prize:

Tanith weighs the sack of coins in hand before tucking it away with the rest of the treasure. "Will do."

The big man returns to the main hall and tries the other northern door.

Perception (around the door): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 Though Farrukh should check as well if Rynjin's around.

Carina follows, satisfied with the team's findings so far.

Gark's right—she finds the bag in the bed.

The door is locked. Even after using the key, Tanith finds the door to be stuck.

Farrukh looks around, and grins as Tanith's key fails to work.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 Yadda yadda you know the drill.

"This looks like a job for MAGIC HANDS!"

He takes out his tools and begins working on the door.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Farrukh doesn't think it's locked—he thinks it's blocked.

Tanith grins back. "How are those magic hands?"

Carina smirks. "Why would they want to block this door?" She looks over at the double doors. "They're trying to funnel us into those doors, I think."

She eyes the door again. "I say we bust it down."

Curious—are you still roleplaying Carina as mutagen'd?

Tanith grins back. "How are those magic hands?"

"Hey, I dismantled the lock, see?" he points.

"Not my fault some idiot put a big rock or something in the way."

Depending on how long we took to search the rooms, Carina's mutagen could have worn off by now. Did we take longer than 30 minutes? Because that's how long it lasts.

Tanith laughs again and claps Farrukh on the shoulder before nodding at Carina. "I like the way you think Red."

The big Kordite squares off with the door before slamming a shoulder into it.

Strength with Blessing: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 = 24

His strength surging with the blessings of Kord, Tanith rams into the door with a tremendous whump.

Though it's close, the door holds.

Probably not longer than thirty minutes. No one's taken twenty or anything, yet.

Astraden squeezes next to Tanith, being very careful not to touch him, and tries to help.

Strength (aid): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

She can't get a good angle, though.

e: Ninja'd. Can I roll another aid for his second try?

Tanith puts a little more oomph into it.

Action Point: 1d6 ⇒ 6

You'll have to add that to your second try. Action Points can't be added after the outcome is announced.

Feel free, Gark.

Carina readies her crossbow, prepared to fire on the first hostile behind the door.

Readied Ranged Attack!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Readied Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Strength (aid): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

She heaves again, but doesn't sync it with Tanith's push. "Alright, does anyone else want to give it a go?"

The cleric steps back.

How many people can aid? It'd be best if people aided that first try and I could save the action point.

Farrukh slams against the door with Tanith.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Strength aid another: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Is the door wood? Maybe we could burn our way through. (Added benefit of making the inhabitants all sluggish and torpid as per bees.)

If 26 with Cuetzpalli's aid is not enough (or if he's not allowed to aid), Tanith will try again.

Strength plus Blessing plus Action Point: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 + 6 = 31

I'm gonna treat aiding after the fact the same way I treat re-purposing an aid roll and adding an AP after hearing the result. The second roll is successful, though, so...

Tanith and Cuetzpalli smash down the door, ripping an iron bar clean off its hinges.

Beyond is a simple hallway. There's a closed door on the far left-hand side.

FYI, I've been updating the map. Cuetzpalli, feel free to track down a figurine you find suitable.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Carina cringes at the sound of the door being smashed down.

"Someone may have heard that. Be ready for a fight." She readies her crossbow, prepared to shoot the first hostile that investigates the noise.

Readied Ranged Attack!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7
Crit Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

...oh, I'm afraid of wasting these rolls right now...

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Probably +3 DC for distance.

Astraden narrows her eyes at the tight space. "Farrukh, you better watch out for traps."

Can I aid his trap-spotting from the doorway? Perception (aid): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Tanith dusts the splinters off his brawny shoulder and, after Farrkuh has verified the untrapness of the hallway, leads the way down it.

FYI: You can't actually ready actions outside combat.

Because I hate to deprive you of that good roll, I'll say you can spend an action point when combat starts to reapply it.

Thanks!
Carina follows Tanith, her crossbow readied for trouble.

EDIT FOR POSTERITY: Current AC is 20 (+4 armour, +4 Dex, +2 Natural)

Can you change the map to allow edits so I can add my icon?

Cuetzpalli and Spiny follow after the big Kordite once Farrukh finishes, keeping their eyes and ears peeled for trouble.

I really need to find out how to make that the default. It's done.

Carina, Tanith, keep your ACs in mind.

Astraden follows somewhere after Farrukh. She draws and loads her crossbow as well, hands still flickering slightly.

How long has it been since that first room?

Between the diplomacy checks, combat, and searching, it's probably been about 3-4 minutes.

In that case, the extract of shield is down and shield of faith is up when Tanith heads down the hallway.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19+3 vs traps

Heading to bed. In the unlikely event that we get going again, Astraden's first combat action will be to cast copycat and attempt to discharge touch of chaos.

Cuetzpalli, you were talking about keeping your eyes and ears peeled. Did you notice the DC 23 Perception spoiler KC has above? (Like were you going to roll for it?)

e: Ninja'd again :o
Rynjin, if this is the check to search the hallway and such, you're getting my aid bonus as well. Though I doubt there's anything for real . . .

Cuetzpalli's Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

[dice=Perception]1d20+9+3 vs traps

Farrukh sees no traps. The door can be reached without incident.

Tanith attempts to open said door.

Astraden files into the corridor behind the others and watches Tanith attempt to open said door.

Okay cool.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Tanith goes up and opens the door. Beyond is a short hall leading to a small chamber. A tapestry depicting a six-armed, fiendish beast carrying a bewildering variety of weapons dominates the north wall.

Immediately, two tieflings step out from hiding. These guards lack the scars, and instead bear on their faces tattoos of the symbol of their foul god. They raise longbows and loose arrows at Tanith.

Longbows (flat-footed): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 51d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

And what terrible shots they happen to be. Cursing in Infernal, they drop the obviously defective bows and draw greataxes.

Initiatives: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 131d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

ROUND 1: YOU ARE UP!

Map is updated.

Astraden hears the commotion and sees the arrows whiz past her friend. She touches Olidammara's sacred mask, then twirls her fingers around her fist, calling, "Fortune to us!"

Round 1: Cast bless (standard action). Bless lasts 30 rounds.

KC, does it look like the iron bar could be repaired with mending?

Tanith drops his weapon and roars as he charges the tiefling in the lead. The big Kordite grabs the cultist by the collar and physically lifts him overhead.

Reposition with Bless: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 = 26

Assuming Tanith beats the tiefling's CMD+5, he'll dump him behind Tanith so that he's available for a beating from the rest of the party.

Tanith effortlessly swings the cultist over his shoulders. She lands unsteadily on the ground behind him.
