Dwarven to Edrukk as he hands back the flask.

The hallway on the other side of the main chamber goes 20 feet and ends in a solid wall.

Upon casual inspection you find no other doors!

Please search for doors [perception checks) and a location where you are looking

Dwarven to Minniwick:

Edrukk will search along the 20' hallway, starting at the end and working his way along the left side, then going back to the end of the hallway and working his way along the right side.

At the front of the hallway you find a secret door and mechanism for opening it.....

Opening the door reveals the room beyond....

The ceiling in this 150 foot, square chamber rises to an apex thirty feet overhead. Great pairs of iron doors are set into opposite-facing walls, although only the northwest doors are sealed with a heavy iron bar. Each corner of the room holds a two-foot-tall stone brazier carved in the likeness of an ovoid creature with three stubby legs, three eyes, and three spindly arms spaced equidistantly around its pebbly body. Smoke issues from a gaping mouth atop the creature’s “head”. A dark, pungent haze fills the room. A nine-foot-tall gray stone statue of a dwarven warrior stands before the southeast set of iron doors, facing northeast. The dwarf stares blankly forward, two glistening black gems embedded in his eyes, a spiked helmet resting atop his formidable brow. His armor bears graven glyphs, and a shield is slung over his back. His stony gauntlets rest on the handle of a stone greataxe etched with fiery patterns. The head of the weapon is planted firmly on the floor. Draped over the statue is a mass of iron chains ending in nasty barbs, spikes, hooks, and blades. Some of them are coiled around the statue’s arms and legs to keep them from sliding off.

Anyone got a pdf of the malachite fortress map?

No kiddin'. I figured the chances of the myopic dwarf finding anything were somewhere between slim and none.

I do not believe that I have any electronic versions of any of the adventure path. I've been studiously not looking at what I do have because I'm playing in it, but I'm pretty sure everything I have is hard copy.

Edrukk refuses the flask from Minniwick. "Ah'm plannin' t' be in front. If'n some'un needs 'at potion, it 'll be better if'n ye 'r th' lass carried 't s' ye could be fer gettin' 't t' th' one needin' it."

He holds up a vial, "'sides, Ah still 'ave th' one from th' temple, eh?"

Canvy will take whatever coin is left over from Edruuk, "Well we don't want to waste it, never know, but if we find some more then..hmmm!!"

Entering the hall Canvy sniffs the air, "Could be religious this...reminds me of the incense they burned in them big cathedrals.." He looks to the dwarven statue and his eyes open wide as he see the black stone eyes. "Eh, see them gems lads, what do ya think, we could add them to our collection?" Canvy looks around and up into the ceiling before stepping forwards. "Come on then lads...oh and Erine"

Anyone got a pdf of the malachite fortress map?

Paizo has a good one. Link

"If'n 't be a temple 'n ye be pryin' eyes outta sacred statues, ye 'll be bringin' us 'ttention we c'n ill afford. We be 'ere fer th' victims - we c'n come back fer yer pretty jewels later."

Can Edrukk identify any signs that this is a religious site?

Know Religion 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

That's seems to be pretty normal for my characters - 1's and 2's for knowledge checks. Wonder what that says about me...

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

"Tha'statue looks'eh right nasty piece'o work. With'the luck we're havin', it'll prob'ly try'n kill us, too."

Perception: 1d20+5

"Tha'statue looks'eh right nasty piece'o work. With'the luck we're havin', it'll prob'ly try'n kill us, too."

"In which case Broccan, we'll just have to keep a good look out, but it looks pretty safe to me! If it'll keep you happy, I'll have my polearm ready for action...hahaha...let's at least enjoy this, there are bound to be riches to come..."

Broccan as you look around the chamber you spot a pair of hobgoblin guards looking out of the room through the double doors on the right, you turn quickly to the left hand doors and spot two more hobgoblins looking out this set of doors into the area beyond.....

Hobgoblin perception
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Apparently any noise you have made the hobgoblins have assumed the others made it!

Minniwick

Surprise round? If not, initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

[ooc]On my turn[ooc] Broccan moves swiftly towards the hobgoblins to his right, striking at the nearest one.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Yep surprise round, but go ahead and roll initiative!

Broccan sinks his sword into the hobgoblin on the right side of the room and also stationed on the right side of the door.

The hobgoblin still has some fight left in him......

Free for all for everyone else!

Toss a bomb to the unoccupied ones on the left 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
If I can hit one and still catch them both (10' explosive if no one else is near) Otherwise just try and catch them both

Splash 5 Points DC=14 for 1/2

initiative 1d20 ⇒ 17

Minniwick seeing Broccan charge the hobgoblin on the right and nearly spliting him down the middle decides to hit the hobgoblins on the opposite side of the hall.

Minniwicks bomb hits the area and knocks both hobgoblins down, slamming them roughly and setting them both on fire.....

I've fallen ill. I'll try to post my action tomorrow.

Canvy can go ahead and post since Erine is ill....

Canvy his eyes turning purple in prayer, calls to his 'mother'. "Bring chaos into the mind of he beast."

Initiative 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14
Casts Lesser confusion on a goblin on the left hand side

Canvy

Swirling chaotic energy flies from Canvy, hitting the center of the doors on the left hand side and exploding silently and nearly imperceptibly them clouding over the two hobgoblins.....

Hobgoblins are too dumb to be confused! ;)

On my turn..

Broccan strikes at the hobgoblin again, intent on slaying his foe.

Edrukk presses his attack on the other hobgoblin.

Greatsword attack 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 = 18 bonus for goblinoid target
Damage 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 5) + 3 = 12

Did he hit the hobgoblin with his initial attack? Did those hobgoblins not react to the attacks? OR do the hobgoblins go before Broccan's last posted action?

Before Broccan's turn Erine targets the same two Hobgoblins as Canvy with the spell sleep.......

One hobgoblin snarls at Broccan and attacks with its' longsword

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Only Erine gets hit for damage with an arrow
1d8 ⇒ 2

Erine

Now Broccan and Edrukk through posted actions finish off the two hobgoblins.....

If it pleases the DM, seeing the hobgoblins on their side fall, will use a move action to proceed toward the other pair. (20' movement, of course)

Sorry for the wait.
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Wounded for the first time, Erine cries out in pain, and loses her spell. "Aaah!"

Canvy and Minniwick have not posted an action for round 2!

As the two on the left are still standing toss a vial of Acid as a follow up. To hit (ranged touch) 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 direct hit damage 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 splash for 5pts

Missed by a mile! missing for one hex for each range increment in direction 1d8 ⇒ 2

Minniwick distracted by Erine's cry of pain carelessly tosses his bomb missing all the oponents and creating a acid slicked floor on the far side of the room.......The acid hisses eating at the rocks of the floor.

Canvy is up!

Edrukk

As Edrukk moves toward the other two hobgoblins, he veers around the statue in the middle, giving it a double-take as he goes.

Canvy letting out a cry to his 'mother', pulls his falchion out and charges at the Hobgoblins.

Falchion attack1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 2 = 23 includes charge
Falchion damage2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 = 7
Bot Canvy as required until the New Year, until then I'm not able to post much...see Deevor.

As the hobgoblins fall, Broccan makes a quick look through the doors to see if there is anything or anyone beypond that might be a threat Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13.

If he doesn't see anything, he double-moves towards the other side of the room to challenge the hobgoblins still standing.

If he does see a potential threat beyond the doors, he stands his ground, prepared to face off against it.

The two hobgoblins on the right have sucumbed to injuries, Canvy charges the other two hobgoblins, still armed with bows he plants an attack into the nearest one.

The two bow wielding hobgoblins draw longswords and attack Canvy....
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Only one scores a hit!

1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

As everyone else sees the chains drapped over the statue begin to move rattling and stiring......a.

A mass of chain slams into Broccan

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

If he can reach the remaining hobgoblin with a 20' move, Edrukk will move up adjacent to it and attack. Otherwise, he will charge it.

Greatsword attack 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 = 21 bonus for goblinoid target
Damage 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 5) + 3 = 13

If the charge was necessary, please adjust attack roll and AC as appropriate.

Edrukk damages the last hobgoblin.

?? Erine
?? Hobgoblin

Heeding Erine's warning, Broccan drops his sword (free action), draws his warhammer (part of move action, per PFCR), and steps forward to strike the statue.

"Take that, ye pig pile'o slag!"

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Aaaannnd swing-and-a-miss! LOL.

Rubber hammer? .... ;)

I didn't even connect! LOL.

Canvy steps to the last Hobgoblin and strikes....

Falchion attack 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 1 = 18 Using Power Attack
Falchion damage 2d4 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 + 3 = 13

As he does so he shouts to Edrukk, "Can you let me use that long old polearm (Bec de Corbin), that I lent ya, its very good for bashing things to a pulp."

I assume the polearm used by Canvy normally is a slashing weapon, that polearm was dropped at the entrance, when Canvy did his charge.

Canvy drops the fourth hobgoblin and prepares to fight the animated chains.

Minniwick is up!

Canvy steps to the last Hobgoblin and strikes....

Falchion attack 1d20+4-1 Using Power Attack
Falchion damage 2d4+4+3

As he does so he shouts to Edrukk, "Can you let me use that long old polearm (Bec de Corbin), that I lent ya, its very good for bashing things to a pulp."

I assume the polearm used by Canvy normally is a slashing weapon, that polearm was dropped at the entrance, when Canvy did his charge.

Edrukk returned the borrowed polearm when we left the pit hallway. I don't recall if I stated that explicitly, but that was always the intent. Edrukk's charge would have forced him to drop it at the entrance, as well, if he was carrying it.

If necessary pretty sure it's not, Edrukk attacks the last hobgoblin, moving to flank with Canvy if possible.

Otherwise, he will turn to face the animated statue. "Broccan, get back from 't!. Ah'd be fer wagerin' 'at 't 's only movin' 'cause we 'r t' close 'r 'cause o' th' fightin'!"

Attack v. hobgoblin, if needed (not including potential flank bonus):
Greatsword attack 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11 bonus for goblinoid target
Damage 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 5) + 3 = 12

Keeping to Edrukk's wise words and stay away from the statue. Ready a vial of acid.

All the hobgoblins are down and the chains spill off of the statue and begin moving toward doors on the right (towards Broccan).

You note that both sets of doors are very stong and have bars that must be lifted from inside this room to open.....

Minniwick, might consider using that acid!

Avoiding the chains, canvy goes and picks up both polearms dropped by himself and Edrukk, before returning to the Edrukk.
