Priscilla throws her starknife at the remaining hobgoblin. Attack1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 Damage1d3 ⇒ 2

The hobgoblin leader drops down - hit by the dagger.

Fight over

Priscilla with a kill!

Gregor hits himself over the head with his Wand of CLW.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Actually let's not forget we have a few CLW potions at our disposal.

"Here Markus...you look like you could use a drink."

Chanix takes the next few moments to search the bodies and the room.

Perception; +1 for traps; Also search the alter1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

While he's searching the room, Chanix asks, "Did anyone understand what that thing was saying?"

"I never bothered ta learn that gobby rat speak! Wouldn'ta mattered, since yer average gob's got more liver than brain!" Toren says vehemently.

I just assumed he was swearing at me. Does anyone speak big, ugly green thing?"

"Not I."
Responds Chelsea from the door.

Markus grunts in reply to Gregor's comment as he braces against a wall and pulls out the bolts embedded in the meat of his shoulder.

"I could use couple hits from that wand."

Toren walks over to the door that was behind the hobgoblin leader. He sets his shield down in front of the door and looks back at the party, "I think maybe this time I should put Tessa in front o' any doors we open. Markus, yer a tough one that's fer sure!"

"You and Tessa may have the right idea", Markus concedes as he leans weakly and waits for healing.

Markus grunts in reply to Gregor's comment as he braces against a wall and pulls out the bolts embedded in the meat of his shoulder.

"I could use couple hits from that wand."

We have two CLW potions that we can use 'til the end of the adventure. Gregor handed 'em to ya...drink up! 8-)

Markus pops the stopper off of the potions handed to him and consumes them, equally pouring the contents across his wounds and drinking them.

Cure Light: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Cure Light: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Can I use my prior perception check to scan the whole room? I would like to search the bodies, the alter, traps or secret doors on the alter, check both doors for traps, are both doors locked? Do I detect any secret doors in the walls? Can I discern what the enemies were doing before we interrupted? OR would you like new or more perception checks for specific things?

Once Chanix has finished his searching, Markus lines up behind the stalwart dwarf.

"Let's keep moving. We're not finishing until this place is free of these goblins."

The door behind thr altar opens into the next room. Hinges on the right. Same for the other door but hinges left. No traps in the room, doors are not locked.

Kids have the iPad with the scenario. I will add any further description and treasure in an hour. I can't remember anything important though. So feel free to head for one of the doors if you want to go on.

Let's advance through the door behind the altar.

Markus calls Grigo over and retrieves his wand.

The door opens into a corridor. The corridor ends to the right behind the door. To the left it runs for some 20-30 foot ending in a door. Another door is in the opposite wall around 10 feet from the other door.

"Alright! I'm goin' ta set Tessa here down as solid as possible, if someone from beside this here door could open it, that'd be a treat. An' it would keep any arrows from hittin' anything in front o' the door!"

Using the shield for Total Cover in front of the door, so that when it opens, the shield forms a solid wall facing into the open doorway.

"Well, that wasn't what I was expectin'. Which door should we take?"

"This one", Markus states flatly as he opens closest door (it sounds like the one on the opposite wall).

I hope a map is in the works cuz I'm not sure what doors are where now. Needless to say I will search the hall and all doors for traps and being locked albeit not opening anything.

Chanix maneuvers around Toren down the hall scanning for the slightest discrepancy and looking for signs of traffic or traps.

perception for footprints or clues: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
traps in the floor: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 25
traps on the doors: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 = 23

Notice Unusual Stonework with Stonecunning 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

An old hag of hobgoblin stands in the room you open. She seems suprised to see you.

"Was macht ihr hier?"

Map and initiative to follow tomorrow. Sorry - suddenly the speed of the game picks up dramatically.

Priscilla retrieves her starknife from the hobgoblins body. It was Desna's will and her weapon, it must be a sign. "Next time gentlemen I might be able to aid you with some reconnaissance at the door, us halflings have keen senses." and this one has door sense

An orderly workspace stands directly opposite this chamber's only door. Neatly arranged books and tools seem to have their own specific places on the workbench and along the shelves. A collection of bones lies atop the workbench, arrayed like an incomplete children's puzzle. A stone altar stands along the eastern wall. Luxurious fabrics adorn the altar and the area around it, while several dark candles and incense burners glow gently, suffusing the air with a sickly sweet odor.

Telda is in front of the altar - close to the bed.

Initiative

Telda 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Markus 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Gregor 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Chanix 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Priscilla 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Toren 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Chelsea 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

You hear Telda muttering something in a strange language that doesn't seem to make sense. But you realize quickly what she did.

Some of the bones take flight and surround her - flying around her like a protective ward.

Toren moves up directly in front the strange old hag, sets his shield down and braces his shoulder on it.

Total Cover with Tower Shield.

Gregor moves in to attack (flanking with Toren if possible without provoking AOE).

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 (+2 if flanking)
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Chanix is still searching the hallway as others start entering a room.

"You guys find anything?" he says as he's checking the other door for traps. "Who's mumbling in there?"

"Yer pointy things could be needed here Chanix!!" Toren shouts back.

Markus moves behind Toren's shield and then activates his wand.

My movement will be vague cuz it looks to me like that room is going to be too cramped for any melee combat.

Chanix steps into the room and sees the grotesque creature smothered in bones. He maneuvers to get a clear line of sight and throws his dagger.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
confirmation: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Chelsea locks eyes with the creature and begins making all the facial expressions associated with a shout, but no noise emerges.

Casting Ear Piercing Scream on Telda
1d6 ⇒ 6 Damage, plus Daze for 1 round
Fortitude DC 16 for half damage and no Daze condition.

Priscilla steps up behind the dwarf and grants him a bit of luck.

Fortitude save 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Concentration check Defensive casting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Telda seems unperturbed by the spell from Chelsea and everything that is happening around her.

Touch attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

She mutters something in the strange language

She reaches forward with her hand - touching the tower shield.

Toren feels pain erupting from his arm that holds the shield.

Damage 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 = 12 DC16 Will to half

She than takes a five foot step to end up between altar and cave wall.

The hulking Varisian whispers arcane syllables in his native tongue while continuing to take cover behind Toren/Tessa.

True Strike.

With the last bits of the spell on his lips his closes the gap and gets adjacent to the witch while drawing a second blade.

"Toren! NO!"

Waiting for other's actions before I commit suicide.

Will 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

OMG Thank you dice for Will save!

Next actions actually depend on if SR applies

SR roll 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Toren - the spell goes through like a hot knife through butter.

Chelsea did 3 HP damage

Chanix - Sorry - I took the first 4 as to hit and not damage and missed the 20. Off course this hits. Just no confirm.

The 'unperturbed' was more around the spell as this would have caused her losing her action.

Damage in round 1:
Telda:
Takes 11 from Gregor, 3 from Chelsea, 4 from Chanix
Toren 6 from Telda thanks to save

All - please check out the map: Map

There isn't much space with Telda between altar and wall. You have one space in front, one diagonal. There is an option to get up on the altar or across the altar to open up space otherwise. DC10 acrobatics or climb as move action - automatic to get up as full round.

Also take into account cover / hit into melee when using ranged weapons. They stack if you throw into melee and into cover = -8.

Gregor takes a 5 foot step toward Telda and pronounces Judgement of Sacred Destruction on her. (Since she took a 5 foot step away from me I assume there's room for me to step to the space she just left...)

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

Gregor lands another solid hit on the hag.

Gregor is second in initiative - so I give him one of the two spots reachable without getting on/over the altar.

Telda looks seriously wounded - but isn't out yet.

What was Telda's round 2?

Telda round 1: Armor of bones
Round 2: inflict moderate on Toren

She had 5 missed perception checks before she started to get into dice rolling form ...

Toren shouts gutturally as the pain lances through his arm and his body. He trembles slightly behind his shield and momentarily drops, leaning on his shield, and then he snaps his head up with a glare in his eye. He grits his teeth and drops his shield, swinging his polearm, reaching to hit the hag...

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

OH COME ON!!

Swinging wildly and rebounding off the altar.

Chelsea sends another mute shout at the hag in an attempt to drop her.
