Borden attempts to wriggle out.

Escape artist 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Eric lets out another yell of frustration, and grabs onto Borden and yanks at his arm, trying to help him pull free.

Aid Another Escape Artist?: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

"Hey you, big dumb f$%k! I bet I can take you down any time! Too scared to come and get ME, huh? CHICKEN?"

Power attack w/greatsword: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 - 1 = 192d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 + 3 = 14

Sorry, not been at work so a touch harder to get everything up to date today. Will be with you in the morning.

As everyone jostles for position to attack the foe, and Bordan struggles unsuccessfully to escape, the creature moves Bordan a few feet accross the room to drop him into the pit at the side.

Bordan gets anohter escape attempt (either CMB or Escape Aretist) this time +4

Gwen then strikes out with her sword, leaving a huge gash down the thing's back.

"Arrgghh you next! Me get big reward for your head, pretty girl thing!"

Round three, everyone but Gwen Up.

Basil takes a swing at the big guy.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9, for 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 = 10 damage.

As everyone jostles for position to attack the foe, and Bordan struggles unsuccessfully to escape, the creature moves Bordan a few feet accross the room to drop him into the pit at the side.

Bordan gets anohter escape attempt (either CMB or Escape Aretist) this time +4

CMB: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 4 = 21

Seeing the filthy pit he's about to be dropped into Bordan wriggles and manages to free himself, ending up facing the beast and stood on the edge of the pit.

Tumbleweed....

Remember someone needs to bot Roj, Eric?

Erik takes a 5 ft back and casts magic missile at the creature.

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7

Rog steps into the gap.

Scimitar 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Damage?: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Shield Bash: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage?: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

As Basil and Roj fail to hit the creature, Eric throws a ball of force at it, eliciting a huge cry of anger. It's too stupid though to work out who did it. "You go in pit!" it screams at Bordan.

Bordan's up then the beasty.....

Borden tries a roll to get past and away from it.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Bordan tries to roll past the not-quite-ogre, but it slams a foot down in front of him. "You slow, man thing!"

Then it attempts to grab him again, but this time can't get a decent hold.

Round 3, everyone else up.

Eric, out of spells, tries to bullrush the ogre-thing into a pit.

Bull rush: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Eric runs at the thing and bounces off, hard.

Give me a grid ref for where Eric ends up.

45 AF?

Basil takes another swing at the creature.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6, for 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 5) + 6 = 15 damage.

Wow. Talk about pure rubbish :-/

Erik didn't have MM memorised as it turns out so invalidate my last action on his behalf. Posting for Roj

Scimitar 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage?: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Shield Bash: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Damage?: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Confirm Crit?
Scimitar 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Damage?: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Nice strike Roj - 11 hps total :)

"And just who do you think would pay you for my head, you ugly stinking piece of s%1t?"

Power attack w/greatsword: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 - 1 = 262d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 + 3 = 16

Confirm critical: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 - 1 = 72d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 6) + 4 + 3 = 15

An ode to balance.

Don't worry about it.

Nice strike Roj - 11 hps total :)

Rolls of 15, and 8, neither of those would crit....[/oo]

[ooc]Init
Bordan 22 (Grappled)
Ogre 21
Basil 18
Gwen 16
Roj 15
Eric 14

Basil flails at the creature but doesn't succeed in hiting it. Gwen's question goes unanswered as her blow takes the things head clean off. It's body falls to the floor, spraying blood all over bordan, and making a small crash.

End of combat, 200XP each.

"Good work, guys!"

Basil sets about searching the room.

Don't worry about it.

I see a roll of 19 and then a 16 before bonuses for Rog - are you seeing something different? I understand the combat is over but want to be sure we are seeing the same numbers

Borden wipes the gore from his face.

Well that was quite a handful, whatever it was - I wonder whats in the pit?. He looks and prods down with his longspear.

"Yeah, good work everybody. Are you all right Borden? Anybody hurt?"

How deep is the pit?

So far so good Gwen

Pit is about 10ft deep, it varies slightly depening on where you are. There are three pits, forming the "alcoves" of the room. There are 6 people in the pits, one manages a feeble cry for help.

Hang on-We'll throw a rope down. Tie it around yourselves and we'll pull you out one by one.

"I've got a rope too. Hold on people, we're getting you out!"

Gwen takes out her rope from the backpack; a not-so-elegant spit on her hands and she's ready to pull!

Borden backs her up on the rope. Both to help and also take a close up admiring view of Gwen's behind without the risk of loosing a few teeth.

A few minutes of hard pulling, and you have the six people back up. They are not in a good state, but the most lucid of them introduces herself as Tiora. She explains how she is the most recent victim, but even she has been here for over a week.

"Thank you for rescuing us. We couldn't have gotten past that thing alive.

"No trouble at all! Do you think you will be strong enough to get out of here by yourself, or do you wish to wait until we have finished clearing this place out?"

She looks at the state of the others, most struggling to even really stand up, and says "I could get out, but the rest..." she shrugs "We'll wait for you to get back if that's ok?"

Basil looks to the others.

"What do you think?"

Agreed Basil - we still have work to do but we should be ok to leave them here for now - can't imagine anything else sharing a section of the tombs here with something so nasty.

Borden hands over his waterskin and a few days rations to the people.

"Right, then - let's see what lies in the other direction..."

Is there anyone resembling the guy we're here to find?

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Gwen accidentally elbows Borden's ribs while pulling the rope.

Erik remains quiet, watching and listening, and nods his agreement. He too hands some food and water to those pulled out of the pit, and then sighs as he falls in step with the others.

"I'm as much use down here without my spells as a sword with no blade," he mutters to himself.

Erik, if you're willing to take the risk perhaps Aid Another might be a viable tactic in this situation. If the GM allows it, you could Aid Another defensively (meaning: while fighting defensively, to raise your AC) and boost someone else's AC or to hit.

Sure, that sounds like a good idea. DM?

Yeah, seems legit.

Gwen, no, none of the people resemble the Shoanti you are looking for.

Everyone ready to move on?

Works for me :-)

"Ladies first...?", Basil says, winking at Gwen.

Before going forth, Gwen asks the survivors if they have seen or heard of the Shoanti guy we've been looking for.

If no useful information is provided, then yes, Gwen is ready to move and she takes point, though not before eyeing Borden with a telling frown.

Tiora shakes her head "No, no one like that has been in here. Not all the people come here though, I've head the dwarf things talk about others."

Oh. Right. That. Sorry!

:)

Borden falls in behind Gwen and Basil at the ready.

Following the tunnels North leads to a closed door, with a distinctly Alchemical stench emanating from it.

Perception, looking for traps and general hazards: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Seems legit ;-)

The door doesn't appear to be trapped, or indeed, even locked.
