Oykiv´s Frozen Fingers of Midnight subtier 4-5 (Inactive)

Game Master Oykiv

Rallas darts around the corner to turn the tables on the would be ambusher on the right. He swings his blade in a high arc and brings it to bear on the man.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 241d10 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 83d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 1) = 7

Excited for another chance at combat, Vortex quickly moves into the warehouse and attempts to latch onto one of the Ulfens with a powerful bite.
.

(Attack) Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 (Includes power-attack)
(Damage) Bite: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Rika grins venomously. "Fury of north is going to disappoint" she taunts, rushing in and climbing the stairs two at a time. Pratts in the meantime bolts past his mistress with a screetch.

Rallas take advantage of having interrupted the ambush and swings his sword directly to the throat, cutting it and causing the man to fall to the ground trying to breath. Vortex attemps to bite the other ulfen, but the man jumps to the side avoiding the attack.

Malaika cast a spell to protect their group as Rika and Pratts move into position.

Beingirr conjures a battle axe in front of Pratts which start to attack him.

Ghaenk rushes into the warehouse and looks up at Beingirr in the loft. "Up there!" shouts the swashbuckler before he launches a ball of ice and snow at the Ulfen.

Beingirr receives a snowball in the face, hurting him. But the spell can`t stop him. Vortex unnatural armor protects him from the ulfen's axe.

Ambush this!

Pratts dives around the floating weapon, bouncing about trying to avoid another blow.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Meanwhile, Rika call upon the speed of the stag to give her the extra push she needed to get up to the leader. And there, as one, oni-spawn and raptor strike, Rika pulling her blows so as not to kill the man they plan on interrogating.

Malaika, no one of your allies had been hurt

Nightfiend bolt hits Beingirr who almost have a moment to curse the summoner before Pratts ends his life. On the other side of the wharehouse Vortex whirlwind of attacks left the last Ulfen badly wounded but still furious and wanting vengance.

Is he dead or at negative hp? We wanted to interrogate him.

Whoops, I thought Pratts and Rika had been hit. In that case he will hold action to see if anyone needs healing later.

Ghaenk advances on the Ulfen and thrusts with his trusty rapier.

+1 Adamantine Rapier: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 for piercing damage of : 1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 3 = 9

Ghaenk thrust the ulfen who falls to the ground. Malaika then moves to check the ulfens, seeing they're not still dead and stabilizing them.

Unless Malaika doesn`t agree, you have Beingirr and their men to talk with, but they're unconscious due damage

A quick search of the wharehouse reveals the goods stolen from Skelg’s vault are stored in the loft. There are carpets, urns, sculptures, and other works of art, weighing a total of 800 pounds and worth 3,000 gp. There is also a box containing 2 potions of cure moderate wounds.

After the last Ulfen drop, Vortex begins looking for another combatant. When he realizes that there are no other threats, the Eidolon slowly begins to calm down and returns to Nightfiend's side.

Nightfiend call's up to Rika. "Is he still alive?"

Malaika stabilizes the unconscious Ulfen. Please tie him up and I will bring him around to qiestion.

After he is tied up.
cure lt wo 1: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Now we can have a conversation like civilized beings. Let us make a deal. You have done nothing to me personally, so I am willing to let you go to get a head start if you answer my questions.
Where is the lantern and how do we remove the curse you laid?
diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Let me know if he doesn't talk..I will try to get him to squeal.... Rallas says, trying to sound menacing, as he checks out the warehouse closer.

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Nightfiend moves up next to Malaika. "It seems I am lacking rope. Maybe someone else has a length or so that we can use."

(Assuming we acquire the rope and manage to bring the Ulfen conscious, apply the following.)

Nightfiend kneels down next to the Ulfen. "We have come to remove a curse that you placed on Skelg. Surely you must have known that the society would send someone to deal with this little mess. Ultimately we would have just out-right killed you and your men for such a discrepancy, but I find myself conflicted over your motive."

"We have spoken to Skelg and his servant. Both men admit to an unfortunate involvement with a specific burial ship that I believe had some personal value to you. If this is the motivation behind your attack on Skelg, please explain. This could have influence over your current situation."

"Ultimately, at the end of the day, what Malaika just stated is our primary concern. We wish to remove the curse from Skelg and return his personal property. If your father's ship is your motive for the curse, know that we have no intention of keeping anything that was taken from the ship and offer an apology for the error in judgment by our friend Skelg."

"Now, we ask for your cooperation with removing the curse."

Diplomacy (Aid): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Sense Motive (Untrained): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19

With a grunt, Rika provides her silk rope to tie the Northmen up.

There's the lantern answers Beingirr to Malaika pointing where it fall to the ground when he did the same. He's going to continue when Nightfiend intervenes wich infuriates and makes him more talkative: Unfortunate incident? Error in judment? Are you kidding my?

And I will not cooperate to remove his curse, no matter what you say. Not only because he deserves what had happened to him, but also because I have no idea of how to remove it. For Nightfiend it's clear he's being sincere.

Rallas inspect the wharehouse and the ship, finding beneath one of the ship benches a small, ornately carved oaken chest inlaid with gold and precious stones itself worth 1,700 gp. Inside the chest are five potions of resist energy (cold) 30.

As Beingirr can`t help you more, and after deciding his fate, you return to Skelg manor to inform him you have recovered the lantern and the rest of what was stolen.

As he suggest you focus the lantern light on the tapestry who depicts a ship and a portal opens in front of it. It looks like a whirlwind with the changing colors of a rainbow.

As you step through the portal, you find yourself in a strange ice-cave. Sunlight filters through the walls and ceiling, and three braziers give some warmth to this otherwise chilly space. Directly ahead of you, a tunnel leads through the ice, sloping steeply downward. Behind you, a shimmering portal hangs on what appears to be a main mast embedded in the ice. Following the mast downward, you can barely make out the blurry outline of a ship’s deck below.

Now you have to decide if you go on and faces the risks of cold weather as you're clothed, DC 15 Fort save, or if you go back to prepare yourselves. But you don`t know how many time Skelg will resist so there could be consecuences if you spend too much time

Rallas sets down his pack and gets out a warm coat and fur lined bootscold weather gear bought for a previous adventure, thankfully, and looks at the rest of the party.

these potions will help, but we need to have proper gear...luckily I still had this after dealing with some goblins up north.

Nightfiend pulls out a wand that he had recently bought. "Hmm...I have this wand that should protect us from the basic elements. That being said, i'm not sure how it will hold up against magically created effect."

(I bought a wand of endure elements earlier and would be more than happy to use (1) charge for each group member and each pet.)

Nighfiend casts endure elements on everybody allowing you to resist the weather.

The sloped tunnel is slippery, but after a long curve it suddenly opens into another cave at the rear deck of a ship.
More braziers keep the worst of the cold at bay, but a wall of solid ice blocks access to the foredeck. A large drum stands on the deck, and behind it is a trapdoor leading into the hold.

I've put Ghaenk first as a trap-detector, but now I need to now a marching order to go through the trapdoor

Current marching order looks ok with me. I'm ok with allowing Vortex to take the lead as well, depending on what the group want's to do.

sailor, untrained: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6unsure if i can make this roll...rolling just in case...I won't check the spoiler until you say I can GM...

I am ok with being in the front...i can spot traps after all...just not automatically...

Rallas checks the trapdoor to see if it is locked and/or trapped.

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13+1 more if a trap

Instinctively Vortex moves up beside Rallas and begins glaring at the trap-door. After a short moment the beast looks over to the elven rogue and begins to drool.

Perception (Aid): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

"Vortex get back here!" Exclaims the summoner as his eidolon moves to the front of the group.

Shortly after the beast makes it to the front, it turns and starts heading back to its master.

Rika and Pratts tread lightly within the cave "Not much like. Is danger. Rika watch."

Profession Sailor (Untrained): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

In case I can roll that untrained. I believe I can, but I'd rather ask you if I can.

prof sailor untrained: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1

Interesting. Let us proceed with caution. It will be slick as well as cold.

You don't need to use a wand charde for me, I have a scroll for just this situation.

Forgive me for my absence, the care of my children get complicated and I had`t enough time to post. But I’m here again.

all good man...family first...

I’ll make Vortex go down first to not use Ghaenk as trap-detector
Vortex go down and talks his master and whoever hears him about the smell of death and rot that fills the lower deck, even with the cold. It is darker down here without the sunlight filtering through the ice, and no braziers burn. Shadowy movements are visible in the darkness, accompanied by an eerie creaking noise as though someone were still working the oars. A figure moves toward you along the aisle between the rowing benches. It appears to be a withered human wearing an Ulfen burial mask.
There's no light down there. If anyone is wearing a ioun torch or some kind of light let me know.
Vortex`s Darkvision allows it to see the shadowy movements are indeed putrid rowers who turn instantly toward him with violent intentions.

Malaika also has darkvision.

But Vortex is the only one who's in the lower deck. You, and any other character who also has darkvision, will see perfectly.

Rika calls on the mighty spirit of the stag to aid her, before moving as fast as she can down below, blade drawn. Once below, her darkvision picks out her foes. Tumbling right behind her, Pratts goes after he foe. But in the confusion, neither of them can secure a flank.

No-Dashi vs Red, Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 1 = 21

Pratts can't see in the lower deck. So he follows Rika by her scent
Also I forgot to draw 2 rowers more, but as you can see they aren`t a big risk

Rika runs down unhindered by the surrounded darkness and delivers a powerful blow against the nearest rower. Pratts, who was following rika by her scent, notes how his master attacks a bad smelling creature and also bites it, making the creature crumble in dust.

The withered human charges against Rika, trying to slam her with his own body, but the tiefling reacts quickly and moves out of its way.

Nightfiend begins a short incantation that creates a small glimmer of light on his belt buckle. The glimmer quickly grows to the point it's luminescence equals that of a torch. After completing his spell, he descends down into the lower deck.

(Standard action) Cast light spell, (Move action) Move down into the lower deck.

Vortex quickly joins the fight by moving up to the closest target and attempting to bit down on the foul undead.

(Move action) Move up to the closest target, (Standard action) Attack that target using power attack.

(Attack) Bit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Rallas hustles down to the deck below.

Ghaenk moves below deck and tumbles past the undead, then stabs at the creature with his rapier.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Rapier: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 = 27 for piercing damage of : 1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 = 12

Not sure exactly how to count the stairs and moving over the rowing benches. But I think a single move should get me to the square south of Vortex.

Nightfiend makes sure everybody can see and moves down followed by Vortex who, unsussesfully tries to bite the withered human. Ghaenk tumbles and dodges around the same opponent before thrusting it.
Malaika follows everybody down and identifies the creatures as undead. 2nd K. religion for Malaika: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Concerned by the number of undead, Nightfiend reaches out and places an enchantment on Vortex. "Vandool premanota" The summoners says as his hand bestows a protective shield in front of his Eidolon.

(Standard action) Cast shield on Vortex, (Move action) Retrieve a wand of infernal healing from his belt.

Invigorated by the chaotic conflict, Vortex lets out a tremendous roar and proceeds to lash out with both claws and then once again attempts to bight down on the undead.

And sorry for the confusion

Rika realizing that Pratts is effectively blind calls out to the spirit of the bat to impart it's power within the raptor before ordering Pratts to get in a flanking position with the furthest undead (Acrobatics to get opposite blue).

Pratts is badly wounded due trying to outpass the zombie moments before Rika cuts it in half.
