Game Master Merisal The Risen

Kaye nods. "When there's blood...Let's see what's down there."

"I don't see how I can help, and don't want to disturb. Tell me what to do, and I'll do it. Well, or wait for the fight."

"Well,"Lissa whispers, "If we follow the blood, then we break the lock on this door, at which point, we should be ready for fighting whatever is here. We all good for that?"

"Again, breaking might make loud noises, which could alarm the entire place. I say we continue quietly, with the unlocked door. Maybe we can find a way around."

Rizzlefunk pauses, and then adds: "Then again, the bloodstain is a clear sign. It could even belong to the captives. Uslad, can you tell what kind of creature shed this blood?" (Some kind of Survival check, maybe?)

I think it must be a heal check, but... Let's try!

"To fight, Lisa, I am always ready. In fact, that's exactly why I'm here, though the story about the mercenary was a hoax. Funny, isn't it?"

He drops to his haunches in front of blood and then closely inspects it.

I'm not a doctor... But maybe years of stalking people on nature will help me?

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Fantastic rolls.

"Rizzlefunk is right about both the bloodstain, and the loud noises", Arghazon pondered.

"Let us follow the bloodstain and perhaps we should find the captives".

The summoner hold his bow in hands and looks at Hellany.

Hellany draws her greatsword and holds it firm in both hands. "Let's kick some asses, boys", she says before starts to follow the 'blood track', followed closely by Arghazon.

"Hskoro alwaysss ready for fight" Giving his companions a very toothy grin to go with his pronouncement.

some kind of strength check is in order

Uslad is examining the bloodstain.

Str Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

seems the board ate my post I'm prepping and running a double header at my FLGS tomorrow will catch up with this after that. Uslad is not convinced there is a trail but he needed to make a doc 15 check to be sure it is either a random set of blood splatter or a blood splatter trail

Human blood or not, we will move on. Str chek made by Hellany. If it's not sufficient, someone could aid her... Or not? :P

Strength (Aid Another): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Strength (Aid Another) for lols: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (9) - 2 = 7

"Er, how many of us can fit on that lock?" Kaye looks on, quizzically.

Strength(Aid Another): 1d20 ⇒ 1

Kaye taps it with his finger.
"I'll get my acid flask ready."

Hellany and Hskoro batter the door that leads into a long corridor. A chair and an equally rickety table covered in clutter can be seen at the far end of the corridor with doors all along the left hand side and a some on the right a bare patch of wall seems to have broken away from which two grotesque creatures, each a roiling waves of flesh, amid these fatty rolls protrude half formed limbs and a dripping tumorous face. The faces look at you hungrily

Initiative
OK Party Time
Then the Grotesques

"Mom I'm home." - Uslad says with a crooked smile and a slight huskiness in his voice...

...and then rushes to the attack, swinging furiously with the sword!

Falchion: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 132d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 = 14 Сharge. AC -2

Arghazon moves to a better position and shoots an arrow against the creature.

longbow: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 4 = 91d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

broken % for the missed arrow = +50% is broken: 1d100 ⇒ 54

As Uslad, Hellany charges the creature.

greatsword + charge + PA: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 182d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 2) + 7 = 14

AC for this turn: 11.

With an uncanny burst Uslad leaps past Hellany and Hskoro and drives towards his foe but his Falchion fails to cut into the rolls of flesh

Uslad charged
Argazhon shot
Hellany charged
Kaye
Hskoro
Rizzlefunk
Lissa
Grotesques(9,0 damage taken (orange, blue))

"I see." Kaye stares at the fleshlings quizzically.

He advances and throws a fire bomb at Blue creature in the back. "Pardon me."

Ranged Touch, Point Blank Shot: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 2 = 22
Fire Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9 4 Splash damage on the orange creature
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 8

The bomb bursts upon the creature, splashing upon the front creature. "Hopefully they burn easily."

Round 1
Hskoro moves into the room and fires an arrow into the melee ...
Comp Lg Bow: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 5 - 4 = 11 for Piercing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

"Eeew. That's disgusting."Lissa retorts, wrinkling her nose upon seeing the creatures. Still, the appearance of the things doesn't prevent her from decking in behind Uslad, and gathering a mass of water around her hands. As soon as she skids to a halt, she releases the mass at the closer(orange) mess of flesh to blast it.

Kinetic Blast, PBS: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14
Kinetic damage, PBS: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Counts as Bludgeoning and Magic

Rizzlefunk waddles through the door and stops to gaze at the closest grotesque (orange).

"I think I can disable it a little..."

(Staring at the orange fiend, casting mental block. Will DC 15, remember the stare penalty. Lasts two rounds, but it can try another Will save at the end of the first round.)

(If Lissa lands a blow, I activate painful stare. 1 additional damage.)

Kaye's bomb flies an almost perfect parabola before striking the one at the back which lights up in flames they biefly outline the creature which quivers in delight as it is covered in flames and then looks almost disappointed as they fade. Rizzlefunk stares down the first creature and finds his initial fear realised as the creatures fight on pure instinct and are not affected by his jedi mind tricks. Hskoro cannot get a good shot into the melee. The first creature intially looks as though it w is going to shrug off Lissa's watery missile but it cannot evade it all and collapses into a flubbery mess on the floor. The creature behind eases out of the room and into the corridor and on some instinctual level attacks its opposite Hellany with a clawed limb
claw attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
claw damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Remind me sometime to ask the scenario writer how a mindless creature can open a door. These things are immune fire as well

Uslad charged
Argazhon shot
Hellany charged
Kaye bombed
Hskoro shot
Rizzlefunk discovered creatures are mindless
Lissa Melted one
Grotesque Attacked is undamaged

Round 2
Uslad
Argazhon
Hellany
Kaye
Hskoro
Rizzlefunk
Lissa

Lemure(grotesque)

Kaye exhales, disappointed. "Of course they're immune. That's why lightning is better."

The damage that would be dealt by Kaye's bomb and the creature's claw, was mystically transferred to Arghazon, who screams in pain, but it wouldn't be enough to stop him from shooting another arrow against the creature.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 4 = 171d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Argazhon uses his Life Link ability to prevents 7 points of damage that would be dealt to Hellany.

Hellany was more audacious, she walked around the enemy and stabbed him in the flank, along with Uslad.

Hellany provokes an AoO from the Lemure, due to her movement. AC 13.

greatsword + flank + PA: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 102d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10

The creature takes a swipe at Hellany as she passes claw attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 and strikes for damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

As she feels the pain Hellany's sword does not strike true. But Argazhons arrow does but it seems to disappear into the fleshy monster with no effect as a durable arrow it may appear after the combat but it did not get through the DR

there was no splash damage from Kaye's bomb on Hellany as Kaye hit the one that was at the back at the time. Also have they clarified Life link for unchained summoner works like it used to as the initial unchained language didn't read that way to me

Ok, splash damage removed, and damage applied to Hellany. I'll look for more clarification about Life Link and post it latter, ok? :)

Falchion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 132d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 = 11

"So! Will try again!" - Uslad grunts and deals another crushing but terribly not accurate blow.

Round 2
Seeing the limited effect of Argazhon's arrow, Hskoro drops his bow for his Urgrosh and bulls his way in to attack
Urgrosh: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 for Slashing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

As Kaye realizes neither fire nor his spears will do much, he draws his quarterstaff and take a step back. "I can't do much to it...dispatch it, quickly!"

[dice=Falchion]1d20 + 5; 2d4 + 6

"So! Will try again!" - Uslad grunts and deals another crushing but terribly not accurate blow.

Remember that we are flanking the lemure. :)

"Doing what I can!" Lissa cries out as she gathers another blast together and hurls it at the second blubber mound.

Kinetic Blast, PBS: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 1 = 13
Kinetic damage, PBS: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

Rizzlefunk is caught unaware of the grotesques' resistance to mind control. "Must be some kind of unnatural moster. My persuasion is useless."

He walks forward and takes out his healing wand.

Hskoro and GM: the mesmerist trick is still implanted in Hskoro's mind, though it probably won't activate on this turn seeing how he rolled 23 for attack.

Uslad's blow strikes the creature due to the flank and hskoro strikes a glancing blow with Lissa's effort bouncing off a fleshy roll to no effect. The creature turns its claws on Uslad
claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
To little effect

everyone go again

Than Uslad remembered that he's still a slayer, and even with experience!

'So, what is this thing? Where is its weakness? Hmmm...'
(move action - study target)

Squinting, he again waves his sword!

!: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 252d4 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10

Round 3 Meek Facade (+2 AC); Raging
Hskoro will rage (1/8) and swing for the fences once again ...
Urgrosh: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16 for Slashing: 1d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 3 = 13

Kaye will delay.

Hskoro and Uslad quickly kill the final Lemure. The room from which they came is dark and unlit and out of shape. On the table at the far end of the corridor is a half eaten meal and some keys. A dwarven voice asks

(I will put a dwarf token behind the door from which the dwarf voice speaks)

Kaye speaks back to the voice in Dwarven, then switches to Common. "Looks like we found one of our friends. I don't know where his clothes are. Looks like we have another lock to break..."

Rizzlefunk eyes the prisoner with curiosity.

"Before we do this, can somebody heal my wounds?", asked her, cordially.

Argazhon remains alert to any unwanted visitor.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 4 or not.

Use Magic Device DC20: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
"I can help with that. Do you have a wand?"
If not, Hskoro will use his ... roll the charges that you need and let me know where they are coming from.

[dice=Use Magic Device DC20]1d20+7

"I can help with that. Do you have a wand?"
If not, Hskoro will use his ... roll the charges that you need and let me know where they are coming from.

Unfortunately not. I'm a level 1 PC without a chronicle sheet. :/

No worries ... Hskoro will use his. Go ahead and roll your cures and I will track the charges used.

key spotting(perception): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

"You're right, Rizzlefunk. There are keys are on the table down there." Lissa takes a couple steps in that direction before pausing. "Is it just me or does that seem a mite too convenient to everyone else?"
