Map for Emb
Fixed the Large Size of the Tiger, waiting for Emb to place the Icons in the place (remember to press enter to generate an updated url and post it).
GM T.A.U. |
So, Embereyes and Fang comes in, followed by Ryzztly.(bot-ing him into the room. Even Ryzztyl casts a detect magic to be sure.
A part from the magical gear on the party members, you also detect that the dagger on location number 1 has a moderate conjuration, divination, and evocation aura on itself.
Now it's Oozulla time, but since he will be back in the next week, if Emb or Yig wish to speak and interact in some way, feel free to do so. I'll be probably very busy in the weekend with mine thesis development, but I'll check the board sometimes to time.
Oozulla |
Cropped little of time to post. Updated map
Oozulla and her guard moved into room following the others. Witch was expecting to find a specific details about kobold's history, so she was observing everything around.
GM T.A.U. |
Alright, let's go on.
Ooz's Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Ooz's Kn History: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Ooz's Kn Religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
This sanctum seems particularly under construction, the decorations are unfinished and so on... The pentacle of five columns of five different colors reminds you of Old Sharptooth five kinds of scales.
Those items seems to have been brought here from somewhere else, like the door before.
Since He told you that his black scales are inside the Sacred Idol you retrieved from the Mites, and that you will find he red ones, maybe those are inside the dagger laying upon the red column.
Again Yig's turn now
Yighuk |
Tasting the air with his tongue as he looks about, Yighukiskar reaches over and picks up the dagger to inspect it closer.
Move action to pickup the dagger. Waiting on standard to see if things go crazy :)
GM T.A.U. |
As if the first time Oozulla touched the Sacred Idol, in the instant Yighuk picks up the dagger a burst of red energy began.
Your eyes are shocked from the explosion, and you feel the draconic blood inside of you resonating in all its strength...
Then, all seems much clear in this chamber to you.
Instead of a mythic ascension this time there is something new for all your characters: whoever had "Darkvision 60 ft" as a race trait and the "light sensitivity" lose the latter weakness and, still keeping the Darkvision ability, also gains the Low-light vision racial ability.
Whoever had instead the Dayborn alternate racial trait still maintains his "low-light vision" ability but also gains "Darkvision 60 ft", without gaining the "light sensitivity" weakness.
Even your cohorts and animal companions gains this benefits if not already present in their stats.
The brust light begin fading away, but a pulsing red aura still surrounds the dagger held by Yighukiskar.
Like two hearts beating the same time a black pulsing aura surround the Idol currently carried by Oozulla.
Yighukiskar's hand-scales begins turning red...
Well, not to disappoint you. But things still could go crazy
Yig's remaining standard action now, then Vrek.
Thereafter it will be Emb and Fang turn
Yighuk |
Yighukiskar blinks a few times, giving his head a gentle shake to clear his vision. Noting the red color making it's way up his arm he considers the five pillars again. "Ah I see now." he says to no on in particular. Pausing he allows the red scales reach his elbow before he replaces the dagger on the red pillar and calls to Oozulla, "These pillars were prepared to hold the five holy items of Old Sharptooth. This dagger is the Fang of the Consuming Flame...place the Idol of the Great Shadow there." he says indicating the black pillar.
Standard to place the dagger back on the pillar
Vrek the Reborn |
In the midst of inspecting the northern wall Vrek is taken by surprise when the burst of red light washes outward. For a moment his body slumps and stands only precariously as the spirit bound to it recovered and reasserted it's control. Like a puppet who's strings had been taken in hand the kobolds form reanimated suddenly and turned to fact Yighukiskar.
Seeing that his lord stood unharmed Vrek gazed upon the warrior and pillars surrounding him until he was assured all was well. He then turned back to his search of the room making his way along the northern wall.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Double move
GM T.A.U. |
Even placing down the dagger doesn't seems to stop Yighukiskar's hand-scales from turning red.
Vrek's DC 20 Perception check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Not noticing that small particular, Vrek moves away in the northern section of the chamber, but he is not able to see anything in particular in this part of the Sanctum. No paints, no sculptures or anything else a part from the bare rocks.
Yig roll me a Fort save to stop this "infection" :-D
Then it will be Emb's turn
Embereyes |
Looking around and feeling the power wash into him Embereyes takes a deep breath, taking the power into his body welcoming it."Aah, the powerss of dragons. Ghosts told me, yesyes indeed. We closer to goal now. But still some enemyys to kill and eat and some wisdom to gain! Tonight we blessed by moon!"
Yighuk |
Not entirely sure if Yig would want to stop it or not but I suppose his pride would probably resent the change.
Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Looks like he didn't object too much :)
GM T.A.U. |
Well, you could always say that Yig is not opposing the change, seeing it as a divine blessing from Old Sharptooth....
In this case you can simply fail the Saving Throw on purpose.
Slowly but inexorably the red scales are taking place of Yighukiskar's hand-scales...
Emb are you going to do something else in this round, or simply passing the action to the next ones on initiative?
Oozulla |
Oozulla as well embraced the change and expected her scales change as well. As this didn't happened, she thought for a moment and brought the logical reason for that:
- We are the chosen of Old Sharptooth. As he come, he created the kobolds of five kinds: black, white - she nodded to Ambereyes, blue, -nodded to Ryz, green as Sszlax and now red - she pointed to Yig. Probably, we need to combine not only the seals, but the original blood, so Old Sharptooth can manifest again
Yighuk |
Gazing at the crimson scales that now covered his hand and continued to spread, the warrior considered Oozulla's words. Nodding at their wisdom he simply states, "As the Devouring Flame wills."
GM T.A.U. |
Answering Emb's question:
Yes, you can move around, explore the rest of the room, do all the things adventurers do into a dungeon and so on.
We are acting as if it is a combat encounter for simplicity and because of some reasons in can't totally explain you now, but you could probably foreseen them (i.e. the dagger was going to be touched by someone, but who? and so on... etc).
There is not an unusual aura about what's happening to Yighukiskar, this change seems something more related to the draconic blood inside him and not based on a spell of some kind.
(Emb still has a move action if you wish to add something else, and Fang still have his entire round of actions.)
Still moving slowly, the red scales take over the black ones in Yighukiskar's hand, and then begin moving to the arm covering it as well.
Ryz should be already back online (he stated "middle of the week" in his last post), now let's wait for his move and see. If we have no signs of him in a few days (let's say, after the usual weekend pause), I'll bot him again.
GM T.A.U. |
Beyond the altar, in the south-western wall are some unfinished paintings of a draconic scene.
Updated Map with Emb and Fang new positions
Time for Ryzztyl now
GM T.A.U. |
Alright, I'm bot-ing Ryz, hoping he will be back soon
The blue sorcerer moves deeply into the room too.
Ryz's perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Not able to notice something strange there, he also tries to detect some magic.
Using detect magic doesn't reveal anything with magical auras down there.
Oozulla and her troops now
Oozulla |
New Map
Feeling, how the world around changed, Oozulla continued to walk deeper into priests chambers and her minions followed her.
GM T.A.U. |
Updated map
Oozulla's url was missing Ryz's new position.
Yig's turn again, and Fort save vs the 'infection'
Yighuk |
GM T.A.U. |
Yighukiskar picks up the red sacrificial dagger and moves towards the sacrificial altar.(number 2 on the map)
@ Yig: The save was a Fort based and not a Will one, anyway picking up the dagger negates the save.
Even in the previous round Yig could have rolled a save only after he placed back the dagger on the pillar.
While moving south-west, all the scales of the arm who is holding the dagger are turning red.
Vrek follows his master too, unsure if the champion is accepting the fate of changing his scales'color or not.
Near the altar he doesn't seems to notice anything else a part from the unfinished paintings of dragons.
Now it's time for Emb and Fang again.
GM T.A.U. |
Updated map
Alright, I've placed Emb right behind Yig. Let me know if you want him in another square.
After Emb's turn is again Ryz's one. Waiting for a sign from his player, before bot-ing him again.
EDIT: Forgot to move the Tiger, now re-updated.
Oozulla |
GM T.A.U. |
After Oozulla moves into her new position, she is able to notice 2 redscales warriors entering the chamber, they are wielding 2 chain spears.
Beyond them also comes an enlarged (medium sized) Norruth, Chief of the Redscales, wielding his handaxe and then follows his hooded advisor with a quarterstaff.
"Thank you, for freeing mine tribe." - says the Chief in a sarcastic tone, the echo of his voice goes through all the chamber and is clearly audible... - "Now no wyvarans and no strangers will rule the Redscales. Die! And your small tribe will join mine ranks as slaves, serving the magnificent Redscales and their new kingdom!"
Yig and Vrek's turn
Updated Map
Yighuk |
"You are a fool to turn your back on the future the Devouring Flame has shown his children and twice a fool to challenge those who have thrown down your masters. Come then so your blood can feed his altar and your clan can find glory beneath our banner." The Champion calls out as he steps forward brandishing the dagger in his now red scaled arm.
Moved up a bit, prepare an action to attack anyone who comes in range
Attack w/ Red Dagger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Above just include Yig's base stats. If the dagger has any bonuses please add them.
Map update in Vrek's post
Vrek the Reborn |
As his lord speaks Vrek moves northward, spear readied in defense.
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Damage: 2d6 - 2 ⇒ (6, 6) - 2 = 10
Confirm: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Damage: 4d6 - 4 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 1) - 4 = 2
Embereyes |
Waving the rattles Embereyes casts the spirits for aid in the upcoming battle.
Bless Ordering Fang to wait until the first enemy comes into sight to rip into his enemies and devour their flesh.
Held action for Fang till someone comes close either to pounce or attack
GM T.A.U. |
Embereyes'spell blesses all the party members
For the next 3 minutes (meaning probably the entire encounter). All yours PCs and NPCs gain a +1 moral bonus to attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects.
The northern warrior charges Yighukiskar, doing so he triggers the champion's prepared attack.
The sacrificial dagger deals 5 damage to the warrior.
In his movement the enemy also enters the tiger's reach and so triggers the natural attacks of Fang.
Emb, roll the attack rolls and the damages.
Waiting to see if the redscale will survive the bite, claw, claw, before resolving his charge attack vs Yig.
Embereyes |
Suddenly the cat moves in blinding speed.
bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 221d8 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18
claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 191d6 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21
claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 181d6 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22
GM T.A.U. |
Is the tiger using Power Attack? If so, I think it's missing the +1 morale bonus on attack rolls from Emb's bless.
Anyway with or without PA the result in ths case is the same:
All 3 natural attacks hit the charging enemy, dealing him enough damage to make him instantly die before even trying to hit Yighukiskar.
Guys, the tiger literally annihilated him!
Coming from the tunnel is Kib, the redscale you previously imprisoned, he moves north, circling his chieftain, and then shoot with a crossbow against Oozulla, dealing her 4 damage!
Norruth, the chieftain, casts a defensive spell on himself before moving into another position.
Mage armor
Ryzztyl
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
The sorcerer delays his action, waiting for the situation to be more clear.
Wishing his player will come back from the AFK time.
Oozulla and her troops now!
Oozulla |
Inspired by bloodshed tiger made them witness, Oozulla raised her crossbow and sent another fire bolt into Kib the Traitor Atk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6, but she was in hurry and bolt just hit the wall of a cavern.
- Take him down! she ordered to Ternock, pointing to redscale and move behind human's back.
Again, the bodyguard need to act like bodyguard, so he raised his bow and tried to hit small Kib. Atk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Human felt uncomfortable with his new sight and could not take an aim properly.
Til'verth stayed near him, to protect if someone will be charging across the cave.
GM T.A.U. |
Both attacks against Kib miss.
Ryzztyl moves after Oozulla's team, deciding to jolt Kib
Jolt cantrip: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 171d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
And dealing him 4 electric damages
The second chief's guard charge the tiger, but even charging he miss Fang.
The hooded kobold casts a spell
It's a Hold Person
Ryzztyl's Spellcraft check to identify the spell casted: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Too bad the blue sorcerer is not able to recognize it.
Ooz, roll me a Will save for Ternock
Ternocknuuri |
Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16 Ternock felt strange magic filling him and he tried to fight that feeling.
GM T.A.U. |
Ternock is able to resist that nefarious effect.
A second kobold with a crossbow comes from the tunnel, this one also has a leather armor, differently from Kib.
His shot miss Til'verth.
After the crossbowman comes 2 slender and short-spear armed kobolds.
End of Round 1
Round 2 (and initiative order):
Group a) Vrek, Embereyes, Yighuk and Fang.
Enemy 1) Kib, Norruth (chieftain)
Group b) Oozulla, Ternock, Til'verth, Ryzztyl
Enemy 2) Chief's guard, hooded kobold, crossbowman, 2 with spears.
Yighuk |
Stepping forward Yighukiskar sends a flurry of attacks at the guard.
Attack w/ Red dagger (P) + Bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Attack w/spiked shield (P/B): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26
Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Confirm: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Attack w/Tail Razor (S): 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Confirm: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Attack w/Bite (P): 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Embereyes |
Moving forward to get a clean view of his enemys Embereyes fix on the big one. Pointing to it he directs fang."Bon appetit"
Moving forward Fang almost nonchalantly moves around the other small enemys towards the big one. As if he wants to smile... just to bite at it.
Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 261d8 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24
GM T.A.U. |
Hope to have understood your new positions Emb; anyway Emb you are still forgetting your own Bless attack bonus.
Avoiding the small ones, Fang moves towards the redscales chieftain and bites him for a massive amount of 24 damages... Norruth is badly injured but still alive.
Enemy 1
Kib moves away from the big white tiger before shooting with his crossbow a perfect strike against Yighukiskar, dealing him 5 damages.
Norruth replies to Fang with a massive two-handed battleaxe assault, dealing 22 damages to Embereyes'animal companion.
Emb, I noticed Fang is missing its HP on your animal companion sheet
Group B now!
