MiniGM's Council of Thieves

Game Master Vuvu

Round 6, Hippa enters the dragon, unwillingly, reluctantly until a push by one of the lemur actors pushes her in.

Hippa's fall is blunted a bit the others.
Reflex 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18 vs DC15
Fort 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 - 2 = 16vs dc 12
dmg 1d4 ⇒ 4

Round 7
Helped by the others, she finds herself just as forcefully shunted back upwards by the joint lift of the tall-folk. She lets out a string of

Exxor will attempt to assist Hippa's exit.

Climb(Aid Another): 1d20 ⇒ 19

That is another +2 to Hippa's climb check - assuming that multiple belly characters and the one in the mouth when someone is there, can all assist.

Round 7 Saves:
Ref Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 Success! Still Sickened

One more assist and we have Hippa up to the throat! (Or did that already include Audi's assist?)

Assist: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

I think we do need you Tram. Pretty sure Hippa's attempt included my assist already, which means we'll need a clean sweep.

aid another climb: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Got her! Exxor, you're up next!
Round 8
Feeling a surge of adrenaline as together the actors manage to get Hippa safely raised to the mouth, Audi cheers on everyone else. "We have Farus safe in the serpent's mouth! Now let us see if Tybain can find his way out!" Audi/Lazarod plants a food back in the belly and gives Exxor a boost toward escape. Unfortunately, he can't help stepping back in a pool of acid which splashes painfully up onto his leg.
Climb to assist: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 2 = 15 Success: +2 to Exxor.
Audi Round 8 Reflex: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 - 2 = 0 Failure: Acid: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Permanent hp 18/18 (due to Con damage); Temp hp: 2/10; Non-lethal damage: 1 hp

round 8

climb aid: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Up and at them Tybain. Lets not keep them waiting.
Tramtris said as he brached the others and helped propel Exxor up the diabolical device.

reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
acid: 1d4 ⇒ 3
fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

He had been pretty much holding his breath the whole time, now speaking he caught a full whiff of the acrid fumes making his stomach roil. This was not their brightest idea ever he reaffirmed in his mind.

no damage due to acid resist but.. sickened

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Acid: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Exxor gladly tries to go up the throat of the beast, but seems unable to make any progress....

"Anyone have a length of rope? It would make this a lot easier!

Climb: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (12) - 2 = 10

Sorry guys - 10 Strength and sickened is a bad combo. Depending on the other assist rolls I may, or may not fall back...

If i read it right if i make and acrobatics check, and you make a n acrobatics check its an instant boost up to the mouth, though its DC 15 and if you fail you fall and take damage. Is that liable to be any easier for you to make?

Tram - good idea! Can others aid with the acrobatics... Exxor's acrobatics check would be Dex +6, Sickened -2, Armor check -2 for a total modifier of +2 - lets try unless anyone else comes up with something this round...

Rope would really help lower the climb DC... Bueller....

Someone handed me climbing gear, but I don't what is included with that.

Climber's Kit: These crampons, pitons, ropes, and tools give you a +2 circumstance bonus on Climb checks.

Well let's use the rope then!

Based on the PRD, in the skills section, the Climb skill DC is adusted based on conditions... and unknotted rope could lower the climb DC to 15, that determination would have to be a Mini decision!
In the meantime....based on the length of the rope "Brannock, throw the rope up to Hippa! Hippa, tie the middle to the jaw, and use the excess to climb safely to the ground once the next person makes it up!!
Remember to help the next person up, then use the rope to climb to the floor too, rather than take the the 1d6 falling damage. Not showy, but practical.

Mini - could we use acrobatics checks to jump down and not take the 1d6, if I read the skill correctly, it would be a DC 15 to ignore the first 10' of a fall - thus negating the 10" fall? This would be a more showy option.

yes on the arco. Also yes on the rope, however, Hippa will have to take a full round to tie it off, which means that you all might be stuck down there for another round, but it would, in fact lower the DC to 15

Can I suggest that while Hippa ties off the rope that we either make another attempt with Exxor or move on to have Audi try with assists? We just won't get any help from Hippa.
Round 9
Climb to assist (or climb): 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 2 = 15
Audi Round 9 Reflex: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 1 - 2 = 17 Success!
Permanent hp 18/18 (due to Con damage); Temp hp: 2/10; Non-lethal damage: 1 hp

Indeed, the acidic fumes are a bother and there is a ... director i would like to kick in the shin. SO another round passing while they get the rope set up?

Hippa will easily agree to this. Plus it would prevent her falling out of the mouth and provide decent counterweight securing the line without bothering with a n attempt to tie off.

That is, she wont tie off but will hang from the mouth like some forgotten floss and gristle

Ugh. Let me know when and what to roll.

"Hurry it up people, this isn't getting easier..." cough, cough cough...

The fumes down by the dock had prepared Brannock to deal with the nasty gases in the tank, but after so many minutes even his stamina was starting to wear.

[ooc] honestly I have lost track of your plan but every round you have to roll your acid and an aid to get someone out

I think we all need another round of saves, while hippa gets the rope and rigs it to allow us to climb up with her counterwieght holding it down,

fort save: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 - 2 = 3
reflex: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 2 = 3
acid damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

He almost threw up as more of the acidic gas was breathed in.

"Ropes in place! get climbing! He said motioning upwards and doing his best to help Exxor make the climb

str check aid another kind pushing him up the rope as he climbs as high as Tramtris can: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 2 = 8

or not

You don't have to keep making the Fort save. Once you fail it, you're sickened for the entire Act. By my count, we still need Round 9 actions for Exxor, Hippa, and Brannock. Brannock is probably using two move actions to get out the climbers kit and throw a rope up to Hippa (maybe the latter is a standard). Hippa is probably using a full round action to tie off the rope. Exxor, you can decide where to use the single assist from Audi to climb or try an Acrobatics. After that we can roll to Round 10.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Acid: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Round 8
Reflex Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Round 9
Exxor grabs the rope and pulls....

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Climb: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Exxor replaces Hippa in the mouth and hippa has escaped to a roar of applause

"I do say Farus, it seems the beast finds us quite unpalatable. Perhaps the rumors are true, and we are in bad taste!"
Exxor will attempt to help the next climber, and once that person gets to the mouth, then do an acrobatic jump to the floor. Sadly, Exxor is weak and of little help to the next climber.

Climb Assist: 1d20 ⇒ 7

He does however make an artistic leap to the floor when th next person makes their way to the maw!

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Round 10
With the rope in place Audi has little trouble scampering up the rope. So much so that he catches Exxor by surprise before the half-elf can help him. But, Exxor makes a graceful exit from the maw onto the stage. As soon as Exxor is gone, he positions himself to give Tram a boost up the rope.
Climb: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 2 = 21

rd 10

climb check: 1d20 + 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 - 2 + 2 = 9 Between his coughing and hacking the noble manages to get just a short way up the rope before he slides back down to almost throw up all over the acid soaked ground. He waves Brannock to the rope while he tries to get the bile out of his throat.He doesnt seem to notice the slimy drips of the acidic goo in the device dripping on his foul smelling grease coated flesh.

acid damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Want to roll for Hippa and Brannock Mini or give it another couple of days? Been about a week for both of them.

Audi I nominate you to roll for them. I will feel too bad if they fail

I second that nomination!

Sorry, guys. Been very hectic several weeks.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

I suppose we can skip Hippa since she's out.
Round 11
Audi reaches down and tries to help Tram up the rope.
Climb to assist: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 - 2 = 11 Assists!

As Exxor has been freed from the Torments, he will try to whip up the crowd, as they reacted well to Hippa's exit, he will try to get a "Laz-a-rod" chant going. Then hopefully a "Den-tris" chant after that, so the crowd is in a near frenzy by the time we get to "Dro-val-id"!!!

I am not sure what one would role to incite a riot? Diplomacy perhaps? If I need to role, please let me know, otherwise I will be happy with Mini determining the outcome based on the storyline.

sure make me a perform check

Exxor attempts to incite the crowd, but winds up coughing out more of the acidic vapors he inhaled in the belly of the beast.

Perform: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 1 - 2 = 8

The crowd laughs at Exxor. So next round guys, pretty much letting you guys do the mechanics of it. Lets get out of there so we can move on!

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Acid: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Brannock, need you to assist Tram. Tram, we need your climb check.

Looks like tram rolled a 9

Indeed it would seem climbing wasnt in trams cards this round!

Wasn't that Round 10? Think we're on 11 now.

Audi rolled a successful assist for Tram for round 11 on Tuesday. It took me a couple tries, keep at it Tram!

Next round folks go!

round 11

climb check: 1d20 + 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 2 + 2 = 15
acid damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

He focused entirely on climbing that rope, the dripping acid, the coughing the sickness roiling in his innards. One hand over the other, lock the feet, reach up, pull.

He repeated it over and over again. When this was over he was punching the director in the face.

Assist: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

As Tram arrived in the maw, he nearly slipped by Audi in his haste to deck Robahl. Instead, Audi was pushed out. Trying to land with a flourish, he only succeeds in twisting an ankle.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Perform (acting): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
