Game Master Kludde

Scarlet reloads her crossbow.

"And all this time I was thinking this crossbow was only going to make me money as part of my circus routines"

"Iskim, shall I assist in cutting you from your bindings or will your 'angergy' take care of it?"

Strength: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Iskim easily breaks free of his bonds, frustrated that he was unable to wound the spider that had so embarrassed him.

Cameanor inspect the spider closely, attempting to identify it and determine if he could remove the poison sack or silk gland for further use...
Kn(Nature): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Camaenor inspects the spider, and sees that it was indeed poisonous.

Give me a survival check if you want to cut it out. Careful not to hurt yourself...

The door in the middle of the tower is stuck. Alternatively, it is possible to reach the next level of the tower by scaling the rubble wall (DC 15 Climb)

What the heck - let's trust the dice gods!
Survival: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Camaenor attempts to remove the poison gland from the giant spider, cutting cleanly with his dagger.

Are there any openings above that we could catch with a grapple?

Looking up at the tower, the eastern side seems to have almost completely broken away. It should be quite straightforward to attach a grapple on the ledge of the next floor

Iskim takes a knotted silk rope and grappling hook out of his backpack, then tosses the hook up to the ledge above, giving it a few experimental tugs.

Attack (Ranged, Grappling Hook vs. AC 5): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Cyjke nods as Iskim affixes a rope to the next level.

"I'll go have a look, I'm quiet and I don't attract attention with a light source - I'm also the lightest" the catwoman offers with a smile "A girl has to earn a living"

Climb 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Sneak 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Climbing up becomes a lot easier now that a rope is attached, and Scarlet makes it up without any problem. The layout of the second floor is quite similar to that of the ground floor: there's doors on the northwest and southwest side of what was once an octagonal room.

She signals the others up, as she notes no danger present.

Cyjke glances around at the others before climbing the rope to two the second level.

climb: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19

The elf follows his kinsman, then looks around the area. "Not too exciting so far. I hope we find something ancient and valuable!" he exclaims.
Climb: 1d20 ⇒ 14

G'Boar waits to take up the rope last, muttering, "Happy to come up as trail.... Wouldn't want ye cheeky bastards theavin' a free glance up me kilt!"
Climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

G'Boar waits to take up the rope last, muttering, "Happy to come up as trail.... Wouldn't want ye cheeky bastards theavin' a free glance up me kilt!"

"Why you afraid someone might mistakenly snatch your 'coin purse'?"

The party makes it up safely to the next floor, only to find that both doorframes have been damaged in the earthquake, which means both doors are completely stuck.

Cyjke goes to the northern most door and tries to force it open.

str check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

G'Boar grimaces at Scarlet, giving her a sly, crooked grin. He thinks about how to incorporate "batwing" into the conversation, but instead turns his attention to Cyjke and his efforts with the door...

Camaenor tries to help Cyjke, leaning his shoulder into the door. "I do hate manual labor. Hay hulk-man, get over here and use those big muscles for something other than filling out your armor!" he chides, grinning at the nagaji.
Aid another (Str): 1d20 ⇒ 8

Iskim assists Cyjke with the door, as best he can.

Strength: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

With the help of Iskim, and to a lesser extent Camaenor, Cyjke forces open the door. Judging from the shelves lining the walls, this darkened room might once have been a storeroom, though its contents have long since succumbed to the passage of time. A crack in the northern wall has apparently let in some rainwater, which has collected in a large puddle on the floor.

There is a little lizard here, it's hide sparkling with the crackle of energy. It looks... for lack of a better word.. enthusiastically at the group as they enter, much like a dog looking for a handout, and runs toward Cyjke.

Wondering what type of beast the lizard is Cyjke tries to redirect it by picking up a stick or rock and tossing it away from the group "Fetch!" {no training in handle animals}

K(arcana?) about the lizard: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Before the creature comes near, Cyjke throws a rock to the back of the room, which the creature eagerly goes to fetch. Picking it up with his maw, it turns around and moves back to the group...

G'Boar, careful to not step in any of the standing water, retrieves a small bundle of dried, smoked venison from his pack and tosses it in the far corner of the room. Hoping to distract the lizard until they can possibly move through the next door. The Ranger moves and listens, checking for traps at the far door.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

The lizard runs after the dried meat, and chews on it in a corner, charged with energy. G'Boar moves to the door, but finds nothing.

Likewise, Scarlet moves to the door to help get a move on through it before the creature returns to play...

She readies some more food to throw, waiting on the Ranger to get the door open.

Iskim retrieves his rope and grapple, then moves quickly to the door, avoiding the shocker lizard, and opens it, greatsword drawn.

Can we get a map update?

Camaenor follows the group, interested in the lizard but not enough to get near it!

Cyjke follows the other through the doorway.

Can we get a map update?

ditto, pls.

The doors opens to three dismayed lizard-like creature, and their accompanying overpowering stench.

Everybody make a DC 13 Fort save or be sickened

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
G'Boar grew numb to stench through his many trials of novice gutting of game as a banished youth, living on the fringes of his Highland society. One too many mistaken clips of the stomach sack or, Tinker forbid, the gall bladder has had the young Ranger covered not only in the animal's bile, but some of his own as well.

Seeing the impending threat, G'Boar clears the doorway in order to allow his companions to enter the room and takes aim at (*), letting his arrow fly.
* - which ever Trog presents the best shot

Ranged Atk vs Trog: 1d20 + 1 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 3 + 1 = 11
Damage?: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 10

Fort save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Having created exparments that have smelled worst, Cyjke is unaffeted as he quickly moves up mixes a chemical bomb and throws it at the red Trog.

Bomb range touch 2xrange: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 - 2 = 4
damage if hits: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
miss direction by 2 squares: 1d8 ⇒ 6 5pt splash Reflex DC14 for half of splash

Fort 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
"How disgusting"

Her cat like reflexes giving her an edge over the lizards, she fires her crossbow before they catch on!

Assume Sneak attack vs flat footed
Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Damage 1d10 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + (1) = 6

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Iskim charges through the doorway, greatsword swinging at the nearest creature.

Full-round action: Charge creature
Attack (Masterwork Greatsword (2H), Rage, Power Attack, Charge): 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 - 1 + 2 = 22
Damage (Masterwork Greatsword (2H), Rage, Power Attack): 2d6 + 4 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (5, 1) + 4 + 2 + 3 = 15

Fort: 1d20 ⇒ 8
The elf only needs a whiff of the overpowering stench before he empties the contents of his stomach out on the floor!

Amendment - Free action - Drop the Crossbow

G;Boar fires a shot at the trog in the back of the room, but hits only tough, scaly hide. Iskim charges up to the closer, and cleaves down with so much force that he hacks his blade almost down to the spine of the creature, leaving it dead on the floor.

Cyjke throws his bomb, but too far and off the mark, and only manages to hit a weapons rack.

Scarlet fires her crossbow, hitting the purple trog completely by surprise, and lodging a bolt in its belly.

Having finally found their bearing, the troglodytes react: from range, they throw their javelins at Iskim, but missing both.

Javelin, Iskim: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Javelin, Iskim: 1d20 ⇒ 7

The little lizard seems almost finished with its morsel of meat. What will it do next?

Iskim charges another of the creatures, his blade biting deep once more.

Free action: Maintain rage (3/6 rounds remaining, AC 17, +4 Str, +4 Con)
Full-round action: Charge purple creature
Attack (Masterwork Greatsword (2H), Rage, Power Attack, Charge): 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 - 1 + 2 = 20
Damage (Masterwork Greatsword (2H), Rage, Power Attack): 2d6 + 4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 + 3 + 3 = 13

G'Boar charges the Red Troglodyte, dropping his bow on entering the room, simultaneously unsheathing his sword. The second-hand blade finds its mark in the foul innerworkins of the rank creature.
Sword Melee vs Red: 1d20 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 1 + 3 = 21
Damage?: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 = 10

Iskim's hack downs the purple troglodyte, while G'Boar finds out that the creatures are actually less smelly from the inside.

Camaenor runs through the door to join the combat, yelling to kitty and the elf, "Come in here and close the door behind you!" he then draws back the arraow and attempts to hit the last troglodyte...
Ranged attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 - 4 - 2 = 17 (sickened and shooting into melee...and he still manages to hit!!)
crit confirm: 1d20 + 3 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 4 - 2 = 4
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Cyjke draws his dagger and throws it at the red Trog.

dagger thrown into melee: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 4 = 2

And it misses badly.

Camaenor manages to get close to the troglodyte without puking, but the wound he inflicts is too superficial. Barely standing, the trog fights on. Cyjke's dagger plunges harmlessly into the woodwork.

Scarlet moves in and down the safe area between the fighting to position in and flank off with G'Boar...

The arterial bleeding caused by Camaenor turns out to be fatal to the troglodyte after all, as it slowly sags to the floor.

Combat over - slight misread from my side.

Scarlet shuts the door.

"Well now we know what the smell is"

She begins searching the room.

Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

G'Boar assists in the search, concentrating on the Troglodytes remains.
He says to no one in particular "I wonder if tha' lil' lizard would enjoy a Troglodyte treat?"
