Break DC is high. None of you have hit it yet
So far, your attempts to break down the door have failed. Pretty sturdy thing.
As Krush enlargens you all begin to hear some answering pounding coming from the other side of the door.
a: 1d6 ⇒ 4
b: 1d6 ⇒ 4
c: 1d6 ⇒ 5
d: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Krush smirks, gripping his large crowbar.
"Please, now that I'm large, let me try," he says, lumbering up the steps, doing his best to not step on anyone.
If allowed to get into position...
DOOOOOOOOOR!: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 + 2 = 27 +5 Str, +2 Crowbar, +2 Muscle of the Society

GM Alera |

Ha! Yes, that does it.
Enlarged Krush breaks down the door. Two burning skeletons jump back as the door nearly crushes them.

Two stone altars, one black and one white, sit at either end of
this large chamber, which takes up two wings of the tower on
this level. The crumbling remains of wooden benches sag in
front of each altar beneath rotting ceiling tapestries. Carved
symbols and writings snake along the walls. The burnt corpses
of two troglodytes lie on the floor in the center of the room.

"Ack!! I HATE UNDEAD!!"
Wand of Magic Missiles: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

GM Alera |

Skele swings at Krush.

Krush takes 1 normal dmg + 1 fire dmg
Next 3 go.

"Skeletons? I hate Skeletons! Korada HATES skeletons! Even burny ones!"
Glastor gets excited, and channels to harm the skelly.
Channel DC13 Will for 1/2: 1d6 ⇒ 1 SIGH

![]() |

Sigríðr carefully surveys the battlefield and quickly realizes she cannot reliably hit or otherwise damage a skeleton with her heavy pick. In response she throws up her shield in an attempt to protect Krush from any further attacks.
Attack to aid AC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Try to do something nice, and look what happens - lesson learned, no more being nice.
"You fools, he's too big! Why did you do that?!"

GM Alera |

putting Blue in delay - he can't get to there anyway.
Skele takes 1dmg from Glastor's channel.

Hrafn

Fhlangorn
Krush: at the start of your turn. Take fire aura dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6 .

![]() |

Fhlangorn provokes an atrack of opportunity as he attempts to bull rush the skeleton.
Bull Rush: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
And bounces back to his current position.

GM Alera |

Skele takes the aoo.
claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
dmg: 1d4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (3) = 9
Additionally, as you attempt to bullrush you come in contact with the flames surrounding the skeletons body. Take dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6 fire damage.
So... You're unconscious at the skeletons feet.
And I'll take Blue out of delay to drag you back a few squares.

"Krushyoutookthisallonyourselfbygettingbigsobeatitupfast!" says the excited gnome cleric.

![]() |

"Oww! Stupid Skeletons. Get Fhlangy out of here."
Krush drops his crowbar, pulls his earth breaker, and swings it back carefully before bringing it low through the doorway and slamming it against the skeleton.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage: 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 4, 6) + 7 = 18

Stabilize: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Fhlangorn stops bleeding out.

GM Alera |

Krush crushes it. And then it explodes.
@ Krush & Sigrid:
fiery death: 1d6 ⇒ 4
DC11 reflex for half
out of initiative
is a temple dedicated to Nethys, the god of magic, in both
of his aspects: protection and destruction. The writings
on the walls are quotes from Nethys’s holy book

"Oh, no! Everyone is hurt! I cannot let that happen!"
Glastor channels to heal.

Fhlangorn wakes up.
Oy! What happened! Me beard is singed!

![]() |

"yes so it is, and it smells nearly as bad as those Trogs below."
There is no beard there is no beard... quietly he says "there is no beard..."

![]() |

"Ahhh! Dangit!" Krush says, putting out the flames from his armor.
Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Half takes me down to 4. Two channels, up to 11.
As his wounds patch up, Krush moves in to the room to get a bit farther from the crowd. He looks about, popping his wand from his wrist sheath and tapping himself with it.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
And full.
Tucking the wand back into his sheath, he looks back at the others.
"Teamwork, eh?"
1 round move, 1 round break, 1 round combat, 2 round channel, 1 round putting my wand away. 4 rounds to go on the Enlarge, if I'm correct, so I'll shrink momentarily.

![]() |

Fhlangorn draws annd taps himself with his wand.
Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
And again.
wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
"Much better! And me beard is still there right?!"
Fhlangorn puts his wand away.

![]() |

Andy has no beard...
"Yes your beard is there but it's a bit more uh... spotty than it used to be." Sgt. Blue says to the dwarf, and placing his hand on his shoulder "you may want to find a beard wig for the time being, I'm sure you dwarves have such a thing for your youngest and women folk."

![]() |

"Gosh! So much has happened!" Glancing at Sigrid and his disapproving look around his display of sorcery. "Uhhhhh - I think I am going to go over here!"
Prizm wanders up to what looks like an alter and inspects it. Then glances around the room looking for doors, arcane objects, anything of note. Since its a temple to the god of magic....
Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

![]() |

Bert rapidly moters his small little bird legs and shuffles over near Fhlangorn. He starts pecking at the singed hair at the dwarfs feet, then gives him a soft nuzzle with his little DoDo head.
"bert....be..ert"

GM Alera |

when things are in spoiler with a DC - I'm asking you to roll that if you have that skill & want a crack at the piece of information contained. And ic (preferably ooc too) you shouldn't know that info if you don't make the roll. Also, friendly reminder on the banner ID from the previous room - still looking for anyone to attempt a DC20 Kn:local on it if you want that info.
You look around the room and find two altars, one dark and one light. Each has a silver holy symbol and some silver candlesticks etc (looking to be worth ~100gp all together).
In addition, each altar has a scroll resting on it.

![]() |

Sigríðr attempts do duck behind the door frame before the skeleton explodes.
Reflex w/ cover: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 4 = 17
She shakes off the brunt of the explosion and moves into the room. "Next time let's not block the door", she says, while adding under her breath, "if there even is a next time.
Sigríðr walks around the corner looking for a way out.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

"Oh neat! Scrolls! I can read the shatter one!"
Prizm looks around for anyone calling dibs, holds it up... waves it around then tosses puts it his bag.
He then follows Sigrid... at a safe distance.... from monster... and well.. Sigrid.

GM Alera |

Let's pick up the pace a bit. Have to finish by Sunday if we want those boons
And Prizm - ya gotta roll the spellcraft to know that ;)
You guys search the room.
Perception:
Prizm: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Fhlangorn: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Glastor: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Krush: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Blue: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Sigrid already rolled
Glastor and Krush notice a secret door on the north eastern wall of the southern portion of the double room.

![]() |

Krush shrugs at Sigrid as he shrinks down to size.
"Apologies. It was not my intention to block the door."
He sighs and breaths deep, looking around for a few moments, unable to help with the scrolls.
"Speaking of doors!" he bellows, pointing across the room. "I believe I see one."

![]() |

Fhlangorn's eyes nearly bug out at Sgt. Blue's suggestion.
"I'll have you know, Spiritrocks never need a beard wig!"
And feels his beard over a bit...
"Do I?! I mean, its all mostly there right!? Oy! Me ancestors 'll kill me if they find out!"
Fhlangorn looks at where Krush is pointing...
"I don't see it!"
But moves over to that wall anyways.

![]() |

Glastor moves in behind, ready to heal, or bless, or...

![]() |

Sorry Windy, I misunderstood
Spellcraft on Scroll 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Spellcraft on Scroll 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Prizm looks around and walks over to the door, and swings it open - then he looks at Sigrid and shrugs.
"I know, I know - something terrible, mean and grumpy... but I brought muffins!" the gnome produces a small blueberry muffin and presents it to Sigrid with a wide smile and bright eyes.

![]() |

Sigríðr swats the muffin out of Prizm's hand as she passes by into the just opened door, "We have work to do Prizm. I don't have time for you, or your muffins."
Sigríðr cautiously walks in waiting for the fight thinking, every room has had something waiting to kill us, what does this room have?
GM, feel free to move me into the room as appropriate.

![]() |

Seeing the small delicious muffin fly thru the air as the mean dwarf lady swats it out of Prizm's hand - the dodo acts.
Leaping into the air with a sly look he snaps it up with a tasty gulp.

![]() |

Krush shakes his head, chuckling.
"Good catch Bert."
He follows behind Sigrid, his Wayfinder shining and ruining her darkvision.
"Come, everyone, if you are done with the reading! There is much to be found in this tower, I feel."

![]() |

In case it matters
spellcraft white: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

"What's in there? Ohmygodsicannotstandthesuspensehowcanyoustanditbertandprizmwhoiusedtoknowbu tnotlikethiswhyorhowareyouagnomenowprizm?"
Glastor is bouncing... literaly... on his feet.

GM Alera |

np Prizm
Aaaaaand. The door is locked.
Same construction as the door from the stairwell into this room.

![]() |

Assist on the DOOR!: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (20) - 4 = 16
Bert lowers his soft fluffy head and throws his tiny shoulder into the door!
I had a 20 and it double posted... its epic

![]() |

"Nonononononononononononono!!!!!" The gnome looks completely downtrodden when Prizm cannot open the door. "Whoisgoodwithlocks?" he blurts out, hoping someone could help out.
In his gmonish impatience, he grabs Krush, shoving him towards the door. "breakitdownbreakitdownbreakitdown!!!" and casts [i]guidance[/i on the Shoanti ranger.

![]() |

Crush pulls out his crowbar again, approaching the door and looking to Sigrid.
"Could you help, since we have a bit more room this time and I don't have my excessive size?"
W/ or W/o Sigrid's help...
Door Opening: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 15 Str + Crowbar + Muscle + Guidance

"Bert, you let Prizm get in the way again! Prizm, step back with me, you can root for him... that might help."

![]() |

You hear Sigríðr let out a large sigh as she walks up to the door. You can almost hear her mutter under her breath, "It's like babysitting children."
She tears the crowbar out of Krush's hand and starts bracing herself against the door. Rather than the short pops and slams of the rest of the group you see her slowly pulling harder and harder trying to get the hinges to pop.
Strength take 20: 20+3+2 = 25

GM Alera |

well then
After some failed attempts from the crew, Sigrid takes the crow bar and gets the job done - still only barely.
The door falls ceremoniously open. On the other side, a living, moving fabric seems to cover the ceiling of this half-collapsed chamber, which stretches northwest into darkness. The pungent smell of ammonia rises from the droppings that litter the floor.
At the collapse of the door you hear hundreds of high-pitched squeaks as a mass of small, carnivorous bats surges forth attacking, all of them hungry for blood.

Bert sees his quarry and moves away to get a better vantage. When he finds his footing he deftly tosses a pebble directly at the swarm of bats.
Pebble: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7
Seeing the small stone pass harmlessly thru the swarm. Bert looks sadly at his small little bird feet.
<sigh>

Krush's eyes go wide as he sees the bats swarm Sigrid.
"Geez, get out of there Sigrid! I'll blast them!"
Krush reaches for his bandolier and pulls a vial, burning red. He swings his arm back, muscles tensed, waiting.
Ready Alchemist's Fire to throw once Sigrid is out of the swarm, target is the far square of the swarm, will 5ft to available place to keep it in 10ft range increment if needed.
Throw!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3 Catch fire on direct hit for another 1d6 on their turn.

Glastor pulls out a vial of alchemist's fire, yelling, "Sigríðr get out of there!! Getoutgetoutgetout!!" He channels energy to stop the bleeding, and just holds the alchemists fire out in case someone will take it.
channel positive: 1d6 ⇒ 2

GM Alera |

Sigrid jumps out of the way and can modify/add/adjust post accordingly . Krush blasts it with an alchemist fire - misses the direct hit. scatter: 1d8 ⇒ 7 Aimed at pink, hit at red. Bats take 1 scatter dmg.
