[PbPGameDayV] Thralls of the Shattered God (Inactive)

Game Master Tesi

Rhuul stays close to the demon-sorcerer as they head down the left hand corridor. "You know... It'd be a real shame if we had a druid here who could tunnel and avoid these corridors entirely."

Will use a round of inspire courage while we go down the corridor. Also flag bearer gives +1 morale bonus against charms.

As soon as the invisible servant steps through the corridor a wall of whirling blades cuts the air where it is supposed to be.

The spell lasts for 10 minutes.

Are you going right or left?

Where are the blades? To the right?

Making sure he says close to the protective circle, Rhuul carefully heads left steadying his mind against an expected assault and keeping up the jokes as he goes.

Will will be +12 vs a spell due to (+2) dwarven hardiness and (+1) flagbearer. He has bardic music up, and will using saving finale on a failed save, either himself or another. Of course with the protection from evil up, it might not be able to affect him anyway.

"You said that magic traps never reset, right? Allow me to sacrifice an unseen servant for our cause." Aetherys uses another of her scrolls and asks the mindless servant to tread on the right corridor to set off the trap.

Yes, it went to the right, according to Aetherys.

So... Saving throws. Good luck guys!

WILL SAVE Aeth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
WILL SAVE Baerlie: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
WILL SAVE Kurai: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
WILL SAVE Mavaro: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
WILL SAVE Oloch: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
WILL SAVE Rhuul: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Please, let me know if saves are correct!

Provided it's an enchantment, yes it is. If it isn't, you're two points over what it should be. Will Rhuul grant me his saving finale?

Rhuul certainly will

Gorum saved me!)

Looks good!

Back, sorry for disappearing! And thanks for rolling high! Will should be +7 instead of +9.

Aeth, do the saving finale!

Mighty thanks, Rhuul!
Will saving finale reroll: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Much better. Long post tomorrow. ;)

First things first, sorry, RL dragged me away.

the other side,I misread something and I thought you all were protected from evil (hence your rolls are two points higher). Nevermind, we will stick to the results (since it is my fault).

When the group moves through the corridor you hear a scrape. When you turn, you see Valais retrieving a flail from the statue in the corridor.

"I knew I could take it. The same way I knew the way through the streets to this place."

I need to know the order of march.

The door of this chamber is closed.

Assuming we can squeeze together as we pass through the trap we are all protected from evil, due to Kuraishimo's circle. Marching order on map looks fine to me.

Yes, position looks ok :)

I'll cast a few spells before we open the door - activating both my wand of shield and long arm.

Assuming we can squeeze together as we pass through the trap we are all protected from evil, due to Kuraishimo's circle. Marching order on map looks fine to me.

Thank god.

As I said, the door in front of Aeth is closed.

Aetherys inspects the door to check for traps.
Casting detect magic.
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Once preparations have been made and that she's made sure that the door isn't trapped, Aetherys will open it.

I've finally updated prepaired spells (changed then when we returned to town to ressurect allies) I'm ok with order of march on map

Oloch prays to Gorum to see demons cast Detect demon, are there any demons ahead?)
He also asks Gorum to protect him from enemies when the door opens shield of faith

There are no devils ahead Oloch.

Aeth is sure the door is not trapped.

Once preparations have been made and that she's made sure that the door isn't trapped, Aetherys will open it.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The door is either closed or jammed. You'll have to open it in a less nice and fashionable way.

Oloch tries to open the door with brutal strength

Strength check with guidance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Oloch's brutal strenght is not brutal enough to open the door.

Rhuul has a quick look at the flail that Valais extracted from the statue. In particular he is curious about whether it is magical. "Why is it that you feel you want that weapon?" he asks gently.

As the group comes up to the door, the dwarf quickly notes the problem.

"If ye really be needing it, me axe can reduce yonder door to firewood in but a few blows. But it be making quite the racket as it does so.." he offers.

"Maybe we should look in that room behind us first and see if there be a clue or two.."

Valais scratches her head.

"I don't know, Master Dwarf. I just know this BELONGS TO ME. The same way I know the way through this RATHOLE YOU CALL CITY."

"Perhaps, or we could wait for the barrier of blades to fade out and take the other way. I don't mind either, but I can't do anything about that door. Oloch, do you want to try again?"

Switched Oloch and me on the map so that he may try again.

Ok. Come on big guy, have another go!

Rhuul retreats around the corner into the side room.
"Everything else in this place has been a trap, why not that door?"

Oloch tries to open the door with MORE brutal strength, he evenn roars a bit

Strength check with guidance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

After roaring and pushing, the door didn't move an inch.

Gorum hawks, looking at his disciple.

Aid: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 The occultist will try to aid the big one.

"When yer tired of bashing the poor door, let me know and I'll give ye all some firewood." calls out Rhuul, who lovingly strokes his battleaxe.

After seconds of puffing and huffing Rhuul's axe looks more and more appealing.

Kuraishimo mentions "I resolved the last 2 hallways, once more Olach and then give the good dwarf a try?"

"Some s~+!ty door won't stop me! In the name of Gorum I'll smash all those funky creatures hiding behind it!"

STRENGTH: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Adowyn claps and cheers while Oloch attempts to kick in the door over and over again. "Or we set it on fire."

Feeling paranoid Kurashimo will cast haste as Oloch slams into the door.

Gorum smiles at his adorer, the door is now open...

Valais says...

"Gods be gratious, THE PUNY ORC FINALLY OPENED THE DOOR."

Pale white walls covered in seemingly random splotches of pastel paint comprise the only decoration in this otherwise empty room. In the center of the room is a pedestal with a single glowing shard lying atop it. A dazzling bright light shines from nowhere in particular.

There are phrases in hallit around the room with various means, some of them written with dried blood.

"Well done Oloch. I'm glad it was a door not me you were bashing them. " he says as he admires the splintered door.

Rhuul mutters a self depreciating joke to himself under his breath and then looks around the room.

Detect magic first...
spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

If there is nothing obviously magic (apart from the light) he will then use comprehend languages on the phrases written around the room.

Nothing magic in the room, but the glowing shard, has a strong conjuration aura.

The paintings on the walls state in Hallit, “Go away,” “I don’t love you,” and “You bring me nothing but pain.”

Rhuul translates the words.

Just checked, the initial use should still be going, it lasts for ten minutes a level

"That shard may conjure something. Anyone want to try and work out what it does before we get any closer?" asks the bard.

"Let's examine this one further."

Aetherys gets closer to the shard, and attempts to understand its abilties. Casting detect magic too, then Take 10 on Spellcraft to identify this item's properties. With Oloch's guidance, I get a final result of 32.

Aeth identifies the object as a Spindle Ioun Stone.

"May the Gorum show you the secrets of this item!"

Rhuul carefully enters the room.

"An Ioun stone... to preserve one with limited food. Why would that be here?" he wonders.

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

The keen eyes of the master dwarf cannot find anything else in this room.

The master dwarf approaches the other door and inspects it as well.

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

"Shall we just try the handle this time?"

"Anyone mind if I use it for now?" asks the elf. If no one minds, she sets it in her wayfinder to benefit from the resonant power.

The resonant power of this ioun stone immunizes against possession and mind control. Nifty!

Kuraishimo shakes his head No objections

Kuraishimo will add see invisibility and mirror image to his ongoing buffs.

images: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Finally he will tap him self with his mage armor wand.
