but not oil. guybord takes the scroll and go to a quiet place and cast read magic.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Guybord determines that the two scrolls are one of Shatter, and one of Shield Other.

Acid and Alchemist's Fire work just fine, too ;-)

Just remember, with oil, it takes a full round action to prepare a vial, and you need a way to light it - which could be a problem, as a quick inventory of everyone's equipment shows that only one person has flint and steel.

[ooc]doh![/oooc]

Kailun whispers, "If anyone can move very quietly, we could have them go in and search the room, otherwise I'd say we move on."

Caelben quitely motions to just close the door and leave the bats alone.

Left undisturbed, the bats return the favor.

Well, let me know what you want to do next ;-)

Did something is magical in the bat cave ? In case of need I have two alchemist's fire said Gratius.

Once Guybord said what he found, Gratius asked

Is someone able to use these scrolls ? In case of need, I have a slight chance to activate them.

Shield other is on my spell list, so I think I can cast it with a caster lvl check

"No clue on that one, but that other one might work if I put my mind to it."

@Caelben - scrolls are spell completion, not spell trigger, so you actually need to have a caster level in order to use them (unlike wands).

Inspecting the scrolls, Kailun nods at the shatter spell. "I recognize this one from my studies and could try to cast it if need be. If no one is willing or able to search the bat room, we should move on up the tower."

@Caelben - scrolls are spell completion, not spell trigger, so you actually need to have a caster level in order to use them (unlike wands).

I stand corrected, guess I need 3 more lvls before I qualify as a spellcaster with an actual caster level

Caelben nods

"Let's keep going"

In the stairs, Gratius took back his shield and sword.

Follow me

Inspecting the scrolls, Kailun nods at the shatter spell. "I recognize this one from my studies and could try to cast it if need be. If no one is willing or able to search the bat room, we should move on up the tower."

"or you could copy it in your spellbook wizard."

I'm curious if there is anything in that bat room," Fellstone said. I'm not the stealthiest Dwarf around and I am getting the feeling that we'd be ill equipped to deal with a room full of angry and agitated bats."

With one last look back at the closed door to the Bat room, Fellstone falls in behind Gratius.

Heading up the stairs, the party comes upon another intermediate landing, with another door. This one, however, is *not* locked...

1d100 ⇒ 73

...and opens easily.

Crude bunks line the walls of this room, which is filled with the nauseating stench of the reptilian creatures that you encountered downstairs.

Of more concern, however, are that there are another three of the reptilian humanoids in this room!

Everyone needs to roll three Fort saves (DC 11), to avoid becoming Sickened.

Round 1: Guybord, YT, Gratius, Kailun, Caelben, Fellstone

Guybord is up.

fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

-Posted with Wayfinder

Walk beside our paladin and full defense . "cough, cough."

-Posted with Wayfinder

The three reptilian humanoids let out high-pitched, chirping cries, and charge forward!

Claw Vs Caelben: 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 0 + 2 = 7, for 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 damage.
Claw Vs Caelben: 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 0 + 2 = 17, for 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 damage = 1 non-lethal damage.
Claw Vs Guybord: 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 0 + 2 = 5, for 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2 damage.

However, only one is able to connect, slightly bruising Caelben's fair Elven skin.

Round 1: Guybord, YT, Gratius, Kailun, Caelben, Fellstone

Party is up!

Fort save: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Fort save: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Fort save: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Aww, almost did it again. :)

Kailun begins chanting in an arcane language, casting a particularly powerful spell.

Summon monster I

Fortitude DC11: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Fortitude DC11: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Fortitude DC11: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Still with sword and shield, Gratius moved in and try to attack one of the draconic creature.

Beurk, the smell of this creature is so awful !

Sword: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 2 = 19
Damages: 1d8 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 - 2 = 5

fort save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
fort save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
fort save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Caelben with a bruise on the side of his face steps away from the doorway to allow other people to get in as well, used to the smell by now he isn't bothered by getting close to the smelly creatures

"Someone block the doorway, protect our caster(s)"

(5ft step)

And then drops the unwieldy long spear he's carrying and draws his morning star , grabs it firmly in both hands and attempts to whack one of the creatures with it.

To hit AC middle one: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Damage if hit: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Waiting on Fellstone :-)

Guybord can also post his round 2 action.

Touch of chaos on one of the two he can reach (gm choice)

touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Fort Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Fort Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Fort Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Fellstone stumbled a step as he moved through the doorway to engage the reptilian creatures. At the first creature in front of him, Fell threw a series of punches as the stench began to have an effect on him.

Flurry: 1d20 ⇒ 111d20 ⇒ 6
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 51d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Gratius takes a swing, drawing blood, and causing the creature to hiss in pain and fear.

Kailun starts casting a spell.

Caelben takes a swing with his morningstar, but the creature nimbly dodges out of the way.

Fellstone likewise tries to punch one of them, but it, too, dodges his blow.

Guybord, his hand surrounded by a coruscating miasma of entropic energy, tries to touch one of the reptilian humanoids, but it backs away, hissing in alarm.

Two of the creatures press their attack on Caelben...

Claw: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6, for 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (11) + 0 = 11, for 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 damage.
Bite: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18, for 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 damage.

Claw: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3, for 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2 damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5, for 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2 damage.
Bite: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4, for 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 damage.

...and incredibly, one of them manages to find a chink in his armor, delivering a small scratch.

The third, continuing to his in alarm and pain...

1d100 ⇒ 48

...flings open the door to the south, and retreats through it, calling out in a guttural language as it does so.

Round 2: Guybord, YT, Gratius, Kailun, Caelben, Fellstone

Party is up!

As his spell nears completion, Kailun peeks out from around the corner and targets it behind the creatures. A flapping, golden celestial eagle appears and engages them.

The eagle attacks the creature just east of it and uses smite evil just in case.

Eagle bite attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Eagle claw attack 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Eagle claw attack 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Eagle bite damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 +1 if the creature is evil
Eagle claw damage 1: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 +1 if the creature is evil
Eagle claw damage 2: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 +1 if the creature is evil

He also picks the creature the eagle didn't attack and targets it with another spell.

Daze, Will save DC 15.

Fellstone continued to try his luck with a flurry of fists on the reptilian in front of him.

Flurry of Blows: 1d20 ⇒ 41d20 ⇒ 4
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 31d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Still sickened by the creature's stink Gratius took a 5ft. step to flank with Fellstone one of the creature.

Longsword: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 - 2 + 2 = 16
Damages: 1d8 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 2 = 9

Caelben swings his morningstar once more.(trying to get a flank, either with the eagle or if that one is down, taking a 5ft step and flanking with Gratius)

To hit AC: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18
Damage if hit: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Gratius sinks his blade into one of the creatures, badly wounding it.

Kailun finishes his spell, summoning an eagle which rips into one of the other reptilian humanoids, dropping it in a frenzy of raking and pecking. He then casts another spell...

Will: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1.

...dazing it.

Caleben capitalises upon its distraction, chopping it down with a well placed blow.

Fellstone chases after the fleeing one, but is unable to land a blow. He does, however, see into the next room...

A brazier of glowing coals sits in the center of this room, its acrid smoke mixing with the ever-present reptilian stench. A few knives, pokers, and other metal implements lie atop a rusty iron box nearby.

Of course, the most pressing concern is another reptilian humanoid, this one substantially larger than the others that you have encountered thus far, who is holding a red-hot poker, and hisses in annoyance at the intrusion into his domain!

He steps forward and attacks Fellstone...

Poker: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 +1 fire damage.
Claw: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (18) - 3 = 15, for 1d4 ⇒ 4 damage.
Bite: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (15) - 3 = 12, for 1d4 ⇒ 1 damage.

@Fellstone: I can't access you character sheet in Mythweavers, so I don't know whether a 15 hits your AC...?

Round 3: Guybord, YT, Gratius, Kailun, Caelben, Fellstone, Big T

Guybord is up.

I've added the character information into the this site. A 15 hits.

Fellstone tumbles to the side of the door and away from the larger reptilian, grimacing in pain from the bite. "Irori's Blood, there's a bigger one in that room!" he shouts at the others.

Just five foot stepping around the door to get out of bad guys reach. Readying a punch should anything get within 5 feet

Touch of chaos

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Okay, I don't know who moved it, but there is no way the eagle is in Area 10; it full-attacked one of the reptilian humanoids in Area 9 last round, and could, at best, have 5' stepped...

Guybord, his hand still surrounded by a corona of entropic energy, attempts to touch one of the creatures, by it nimbly dodges him.

The smaller creature, emboldened by its larger ally's presence, turns and attacks Guybord...

Claw: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8, for 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13, for 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 damage.
Bite: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (9) + 0 = 9, for 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 damage.

...but it is unable to find a chink in his armor.

Round 3: Guybord, YT, Gratius, Kailun, Caelben, Fellstone, Big T

Party (apart from Guybord) is up!

Gratius moves to flank with Guybord If he's armed and attacks the creature.

Longsword: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 2 + 2 = 23
damages: 1d8 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 - 2 = 5

Caleben moves around the room as not to draw to much attention to himself (moving so I don't provoke) and ends up flaking with Fellstone and takes a swing at the lizard creature in the doorway

To hit AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage if hit: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Between them, Gratius and Caelben gang-up on the smaller reptilian humanoid, and shred it to pieces.

Round 3: Guybord, Gratius, Kailun, Caelben, Fellstone, Big T

Kailun and Fellstone are up!

Okay, I don't know who moved it, but there is no way the eagle is in Area 10; it full-attacked one of the reptilian humanoids in Area 9 last round, and could, at best, have 5' stepped...

Sorry, that was me. I made my whole move but then noticed I wasn't up in turn order so I deleted it. Forgot to move the bird back.

Kailun attempts to distract the remaining creature with a spell while his celestial hawk flies through the doorway to attack it from behind.

Daze, Will DC 15.

Fly skill check (if necessary): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Assuming the daze spell works, the creature misses its AoO, or the eagle survives being hit by the AoO:

Eagle bite attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Eagle bite damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Kailun casts a spell at the big reptilian humanoid...

Will: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14.

...rendering it momentarily slack-jawed.

Round 3: Guybord, Gratius, Kailun, Caelben, Fellstone, Big T

Round 4: Guybord, Gratius, Kailun, Caelben, Fellstone, Big T

Fellstone to finish-off round 3, then everyone to act in round 4 whilst the big guy is dazed.

Touch of chaos! 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Fellstone needed a moment to regroup and then he stepped back through the door way to stand beside Guybord. He wasn't going to sit this fight out.

Punch: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Gratius moves on Fellstone's side and strike the creature.

Longsword: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 2 = 4
damages: 1d8 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 2 = 9

But instead of striking it he almost drops his weapon !

Asmodeus' crap !

The celestial eagle, sensing it has but a few more moments in the prime material plane, unleashes its full fury on the creature.

Celestial eagle bite attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Celestial eagle claw 1 attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Celestial eagle claw 2 attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Celestial eagle bite damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Celestial eagle claw 1 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Celestial eagle claw 2 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

As soon as it completes its attacks, the bird vanishes.

Knowing it's a longshot, Kailun fires an arrow from his bow as well.

Kailun longbow attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 3 - 4 - 4 = 13
Kailun longbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Fellstone takes a swing, but misses.

Guybord finally manages to touch one of the creatures, entropic energy arcing from his hand into its flesh.

Gratius takes a swing, but his weapon's hilt is slick with blood, and he almost drops it.

Kailun fires an arrow, which impacts on the ceiling. His eagle, however, has better luck, delivering a slash with its talons before disappearing.

Round 4: Guybord, Gratius, Kailun, Caelben, Fellstone, Big T(-5)

Caelben and Fellstone are up!

Utilizing on the fact that the big guy is still dazed Caelben moves into the room and takes up a flanking position with Gratius

To hit AC: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Caelben capitalises upon the creature's dazed state to deliver a vicious slash, dropping it.

Combat over.

As the party is taking stock, a voice pipes-up from behind the other door in the south east.

"Hello? Based on the fact that I don't hear Draconic, or the sounds of feasting, I am guessing that whomever was fighting those Troglodytes has won. Could I trouble you to let me out? Please...?"

"Identify yourself and we'll consider it."

"It would be a sign of good manners for an interrogator to introduce himself, first. No matter. As to who I am, well, if you are from Absalom, you may have heard of me - for I am Balenar Forsend, Pathfinder chronicler!"

who? Drangle hasn't talk about that
