Masks of the Living Neb (Inactive)

Game Master Nebten

I can move quickly, perhaps Bria can benefit from your strength spell.

I'll spell-tap when we get to the next round!

Liz moves up to the door. She quickly takes a look at the door and is detects no traps or locks.

Bria follows behind. Garuneh heals himself a little bit and falls in line. Taking up the rear is Aldous.

Round 19

Garuneh taps himself once again with his wand.

Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Garuneh has a move action left. Everybody else can go!

Is everyone ready? I have a feeling that there is going to be another fight ahead of us if what has happened in the past is anything to go by. A tap if you can, Garuneh.

Once all spells and stuff are cast and healing done, Liz moves to Y,7 and opens the door with Bria.

We still have to go by rounds, Liz!

My bad, I will move to the spot indicated.

Bria moves next to.

Garuneh sidles up to Bria, ready for the Bull Enstrengthenating.

When this is all over, I might just retire to Magnimar and open a sculpture's shop. Maybe join a wizard guild.

Everybody gets into position.

Aldous still has a round full of actions to perform, if he wishes.

Move with the rest of the group and try yo narrow down the location of Dragon.

Ready

As Liz and Bria try to open the doors, they find that they are locked shut.

More surprisingly, the eyes on the Razmirian mask embossed on the door open up with a blue glow. From the orbs, a blast of freezing cold air and icicles is released before all those who stand before and beside the door.

Bria Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Liz Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Garuneh Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Cold dmg: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 6) = 14
DC 13 for half dmg.

Round 20
Everybody Can go!

well darn, sorry for missing the trap.

Liz manages to dart out of the way due to her heightened reflexes. Umm...Sorry. she whispers as the others are struck. She attempts to see if she can disable the trap and get the door open. The rest of you should back up in case it happens again. Liz waits for them to do so.

Disable Device Trap: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Unlock door: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

"Any charges left on the wand? I may need some healing"

I am at half hit points

I'm going to use that first roll Liz for a Perception check that way your are not spending 2d4 disabling something.

Liz detects no other traps on the door. She starts to work on the door's lock, working the different tumblers. Then when she arrives at the last one, her hand slips, resetting all the work she just did.

2d4 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

Door still shut & locked. Everybody but Liz is up.

"The time for subtlety has passed, I frel. Perhaps a more...direct...approach would work better?"

Aldous keeps his eyes peeled for mpre guards, wand ready and senses extended towards his missing familiar.

Garuneh sighs.

"What do you say we do some more healing, friends. We're going to need to not die the moment we open that door."

Who has UMD? Let's pass the wand around. I have 17 charges left. I say we heal the @#$% up.

He taps himself wearily.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Hit me up, wand dude

Break down the door?

Nobody has UMD. Such a useless skill. =v)

Through that door... that is where Dragon is.

Garuneh heals himself, nearly to completion with that wand charge.

Bria stands at the ready.

Round 21

Everybody go!

Liz has it, makes zombies dance

Liz keeps tryingDisable Device: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Liz instead drops her picks.

Dragon is behind that door. Let me see if I can get any information from him..."

Empathically: Question: are you constrained? Are you alone? Is there danger in the room with you?

You are correct Liz. D'oh! Your skills aren't alphabetized. Sneaky rogue.

The pressure is starting to build as Elizabeth unable to even start the picking processes.

Aldous reaches out towards dragon again. He senses a fear and loneliness from his familiar.

Bria & Garuneh doing anything this round?

Waiting to see if any healing will happen

Liz gets frustrated and slaps the door!

If it worked for master thief Fonz, it could work here.

Too busy with the ACG crowd madness to get in yesterday.

Garuneh gives Bria a wand tap.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Garuneh heals up half of Bria's wounds as the dwarf continues to stand there.

Round 22

Everybody Go!

Rassen frassen

Disable Device: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Garuneh keeps a'-healing Bria.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Before we break down the door, I suggest more spells. If only someone could Haste me...I feel like the prime valve in a manifold," he says, not bothering to explain obscure plumbing references.

Bria awaits word for when she should start demolishing the door.

Ready!

Elizabeth still has problems opening the door.

Garuneh continues to heal Bria's wounds.

Bria stands at the ready.

Aldous is up.

"I stand ready to proceed. My familiar lies behind that door, and thence our escape. "

Projecting comfort and love to Dragon, Aldous keeps an eye and ear on the hallway behind them.

Round 23

Shouts can be heard throughout the hall below.

"To the gates, to the gates. We are being rushed by the heretics. For Razmir!"

Footfalls echo up through the open space between the first and second floors.

All Heroes Go!

Start bashing Bria! I just can't get this lock open!

Aid another bash: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Bash!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 Bria attacks the door.

Garuneh casts Bull's Strength on Bria. Ah, a little late!

Enhanced by Garuneh's spell, Bria attacks the door! A loud KRAANG reverberates from the bash. Some of the silver plating the door chips off.

From below, Elvar can be heard among the chaos.

"We were able to stop them from going up the stairs, sir. Everything is clear."

Aldous is up

Aldous casts acid splash at the door, aiming for the lockplate.

1d3 ⇒ 2 damage

Liz holds steady

Aldous's acid splash appears to have no effect on the lock.

Round 24

"Stand aside, unmasked. Your lies will only draw my ire."

Making his way up the stairs, the black robed priest of Razmir, Egarthis, appears. Mid way up the stairs, he turns to find the party in front of the door, iron mask gleaning off the rising sun's rays of light.

"You do not have the key to unlock the secrets behind those doors. Fiery the angels rose, & as they rose deep thunder roll’d. Oh the wonders you could have learned."

1d3 ⇒ 1

Egarthis then rips off the ringed collar around his neck and tosses at the enlarged mask of Razmir.

"With fires of hell, deform their ancient heavens with shame & woe. Feed on the unmasked, my servants."

In a burst of smoke and flame, a thin, lanky creature that resembles wolf appears. It has reddish-brown fur, white claws, and burning, fiery red eyes. It a races from the jeweled, trapped mask and towards the southern passage. The hound turns the corner, ending in front of Aldous. It lips curled back, baring soot stained teeth.

All Heroes Go!

Bria attacks the doggy.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 for 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 damage

You'll need to move through Garuneh and Aldou's squares and Aldous will need to withdraw

Liz moves to Y-5 and shoots down at Egar (+1 for high ground)

S bow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 221d6 ⇒ 6

Ray: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Garuneh zaps Egarthis with a Ray of Sickening.

"That's real divine power, you face-hiding faker," he says. "And you really need better cooks around here."

Bria is unable to get to the dog because Aldous is in the way.

Liz moves around the banister, bow in hand. She releases her arrow that flies straight for the priest. At the last moment, he deflects the arrow with his free hand.

"Try harder. Try again!"

Liz don't get +1 for higher ground for ranged attacks, only in melee. Also, you take -1 to damage from your bow due to being fatigued.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Garuneh's ray smacks Egarthis in the chest. He bends over dry heaving as spittle drips from the mouth hole of his mask.

Aldous is up!

Aldous withdraws from the hellhoud, raising his voice as he moves.

"Its a fiend! Use cold against it if possible! Maybe we can use that zapping mask trap!"

Aldous withdraws and tucks himself in the corner. Bria fills in the gap and cuts deep into the hound.

Round 25

"The weak shall burn, leaving only the strong to remain."

Egarthis continues to make his way up the stairs, then turns and points his finger at Aldous. A ray of flame fires forth toward the wizard.

Egarthis spell vs Aldous Touch AC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 164d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 1) = 11

The fiendish dog releases a gout of flame, engulfing Bria and Garuneh.

Fire Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8
Bria Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 fail
Garuneh Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 fail
2d4 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

Injured, the hound almost chuckles to itself as the two are unable to dodge out of the way.

All Heroes Go!

Aldous! Can you tangle that guy on the steps with your web? We can't have him zapping us like that.

Doubtful that she will be able to harm the spellcaster due to him smacking her arrows out of the way,She moves to AA-5 and shoots at the hellhound.

Or maybe zap him when he attempts to cast a spell.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

"We'll make a wizard out of you, yet, Liz!"

Aldous casts web centered on the SE corner of the square south of our wizardly foe.

Bria gets all whacky (again)

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 damage
