Minniwick will drink an infusion of True Strike and prepare a bomb.
Kn Nature: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 Any idea what these things are?

Minniwick

Edrukk and canvy both swat at bugs and miss.

The large tubes stuck into Broccan and Edrukk begin to move as fliud moves through them....

Broccan takes two points of con damage!

Edrukk takes three points of con damage!

"Hold on Broc!"

Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Damage 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

Do Broccan and Edrukk get AoO for the bugs' movement into their respective spaces? I'm assuming they have Improved Grapple, so that would not provoke, but the movement should...

** spoiler omitted **

Once they are latched on, the sword is too unwieldy, and Edrukk opts to attempt the same maneuver that appears to have worked for Broccan. He drops his sword and attempt to crush one of the creatures with both hands.

Combat Maneuver 1d20 + 4

Edrukk twists around an splatters a bug as well a hint of his own blood seems mixed into the critters insides.

Edrukk

"Ye blasted bugs!"

Combat Maneuver to break the grapple of one of his attackers 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Broccan grabs at the remaining critter sucking his blood, he again tries to use his armor spikes to shred it.

Attack (grapple) CMB: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Broccan shreds another one, this one spilling a crimson stain of Broccan's blood. Erine faints at the sight of it...

Edrukk pulls another bug off of himself....
it is bloated with blood and tries to fly away,,,,

Canvy tries once more to swat the moth thing with his polearm....

Think there's still one flying around free.
Mwk Polearm attack 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 1 = 9 power attack
Mwk Polearm damage 2d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 + 2 = 12
Another magnificent roll....

Minniwick notices a cluster of three more stirge entering the chamber from below.....

I believe you have a bomb ready sir!

[ooc] Sure enough did [ooc]

"Fire in the hole!" target the new group coming in, trying to catch all three
ranged touch 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (19) + 23 = 42 Damage 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 6) + 4 = 14 Main target on fire (1d6) until extinguished (FRA+Ref save). Splash 10' radius 6 pts Ref DC 15 for 1/2

Bravo, sir!

Minniwick handles the new threat in fine style leaving behind a cloud of smoke that likely other such bugs will hesitate to fly through.....

Attempts a swat at the remaining free one...

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Damage
2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

Bugs that are still attached will each suck enough blood to cause another point of Con damage....

You are Up!

I believe I have the only remaining attached one, lucky me.

Combat Maneuver to squash it 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Waiting for a flying moth, if there is one...Canvy tries once more to strike it...

Mwk Polearm attack 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 1 = 21 with Power Attack
Mwk Polearm damage 2d4 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 + 3 = 11 with Power Attack
Copycat illusory double for 2 rounds - move action, 1-Canvy, 2-double.

With the bugs all dead

.....for the moment! ;)

Edrukk remembers the holes in the wall and the burnt orc skeletons.

Thanks for the reminder.

"Seems 's 'ow th' orcs 'at died 'ere were burned t' death. See th' 'oles 'n th' walls? Ah'm thinking 'ere might o' been a trap 'ere 'at fried 'em. Problem 's, Ah don't know if'n th' trap 's spent, 'r if'n 't 'ill go 'ff ag'n.

"'course, if'n somebody be 'hind th' 'oles, 'at 's a different story."

Let me take a look at the holes. I may be able to spot if the holes are still a concern. Take a close look at the holes to see if the trap is still active. Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 If needed Disable Device 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

The grand stair

The ceiling soars 30 feet high in the center of this impressive chamber, and the walls are carved in images of dwarves at their forges. Two large stone doors exit to the north and south. Several old skeletons lie scattered near the northern door. A gate of wrought iron stands in the western wall.

In the center of the floor, a natural rift descends sharply.

The north door is carved into the face of a glowering/glaring angry dwarven face, in the intricate designs above the door eight small holes that slant upwards are carved into the wall at a height of 10 feet. Orc skeletons lie here. The skeletons wear rusted chain halberds, that appear scorched, axe heads lie near the skeletons but the wooden handles are completely gone.

Minniwick

Edrukk

It looks like the door triggers a measure of alchemists fire from the holes. Unless the Orcs have found the way to refill the trap it is most likely harmless now.

"Tha is most interesting Master Minniwick, but tha door seems tah be locked."

Edrukk starts looking around the room, ignoring the 'main' door. "Ah don' 'ink 'at be th' real door. More like 'tis a decoy t' draw enemies t' be 'ttacked. 'et's be lookin' fer 'nother entrance."

"Only dwarves would make somethin tah looks like a door tha is not a door at all but a trap....."

"Err any o yah injured?"

"I got'eh coupla holes where th'foul things suck'd out my blood. More tired than hurt. Can yer magic grow fresh blood in me, boy-o?"

"Suren a vampire would takes us both prisoner if tha was possible."

"We might be able tah rest safe though. I was thinkin iffen tha pile seals us away from both tha orcs an the big bugs we could camp there...right in tha middle o tha pile."

Taking Sanstrees advice you manage a small but comfortable camp sealed off from both sides by boxes, crates and bags....

Everyone recovers from any ability damage and heals normally....

Through the night you hear the flapping of wings in the large chamber beyond, but the creatures are not able to get to you.

Where to?

"Shou' we try t'find th'hidden door? I'm no much fer mason'ry, but if its'eh fissure in th'rock I might see it."

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Broccan spots the southern door, which is much plainer than the glaring dwarf door, but seems to be a usable door.....

However the door is locked.

Canvy congratulates Broccan on finding the door, but looks deflated that it should be locked. "Well, if no-one can unlock this door, I suppose we'll just have to knock it down." He looks around the group, hoping that someone can open the locked door.

Edrukk gestures toward Minniwick. "Give th' gnome some room t' work, 'en."

"I spent alot o coin on this key an tha guy I bought it from assured me it was good fer openin locks."

Sanstree pulls a skeleton key from a cord around his neck....

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

The secret door pivots in on its center, revealing a chamber of finished stonework about 30 feet deep and 15 feet wide. The room is cluttered with crude furnishings and the air is hazy with the smoke of a small cooking fire, Dozens of yellowed skulls are suspended from the ceiling by fraying ropes strung through holes punched in the bone. An orc in a ragged black robe looks up from her work with her face twisted in an expression of sheer rage!

Perception DC 15

Surprise round! You have won surprise!

Go ahead and roll perception/initiative with your actions!

Perception 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Initiative 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Edrukk moves into the chamber, drawing his greatsword as he moves. Surprise round, single action, correct? He's trying to move to a position where he threatens as many squares as possible with an attack of opportunity if she casts a spell or moves.

"Ahhhh pardon us mam!"

Perception
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Grabs the key out of the backside of the door

"Wont be needin that."

Initiative
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Yep single action...

Great post Edrukk. ;)

Broccan and Canvy are summoned!

Still looking at the holes above the Dwarven door. He mutters to himself. I guess you could have a clockwork attached to the hinges of the door
When Edrukk calls out Gnome....Work..Oh what do you need Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Oh..my..I must remember to learn a few words of Orc. to the orc in common Give up!? we have you outnumbered

What does she seem to be cooking up? Knowledge check 1d20 ⇒ 10 +10 for Arcana or Nature (soup) +12 for Alchemy +6 for all others.

Ready a vial of acid to throw if she starts casting a spell. will try and ID the spell with Spellcraft before he throws Spellcraft 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Initiative 1d20 ⇒ 17

Minniwick
Please make a linguistics check for me and I will let you try a few words of ORC!

this could be funny. Try and say the same in Orc linguistics 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Broccan attempts to aid Minniwick with an (untrained) act of Intimidation: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

"Grrrrrr!"

So I don't put this off and forget to do it altogether, I need to let you know that we will be taking our annual fall trip to not-here. I'm not certain how much Internet access I will have, so I may be unusually quiet from Sept 10 through Sept 17. Please feel free to DMPC Edrukk as necessary.

Minniwick has apparently insulted her greatly as she casts a spell in his direction.....

Opening herself to an AoO by Edrukk......

Attack of Opportunity 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 3) + 3 = 11

Rats...

Use my held action to toss the vial of acid at her. Ranged Touch 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 Damage 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Splash for 5 pts save 1/2

Perception 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Initiative 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

Once the orc starts casting, Canvy forgets himself and holds up his holy symbol, calling the power of mother.

If the orc is within channel range (30ft radius) Channel negative energy, all withing range take 1d6 ⇒ 1 HP damage, DC 15 Will save for half.

Sorry been away for a couple of days..

I have access tonight, so...

Will Save 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 vs Canvy's channel

"Whoa, lad! 'r ye tryin' t' kill 's all wit' 'er?"

No damage taken.

Reflex Save 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 vs acid splash damage

"Argh! 'at's a wee bit close, too!"

Pretty sure that's insufficient, regardless of what the DC was.

5 points of acid damage taken.

The orcs priestess dodges aside and gets hit with acid but her spell goes off targeting those towards the back

Minniwick
Sanstree
Erine

Will saves DC 18

Minniwick

If you fail your save read the spoiler above!

You are up!

Take a point from the channel. Sorry about the acid Edrukk
Will Save VS spell 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Canvy falls where he stands, he mind assailed by the blackness of the spell.

Will 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
