Fhlangorn opens door and moves into room.

A brazier of glowing coals sits in the center of this room, its
acrid smoke mixing with the ever-present troglodyte stench.
A few knives, pokers, and other metal implements lie atop a
rusty iron box nearby.

In addition to the troglodyte you recognize from the previous room, you see an exceptionally large troglodyte standing towards the rear of the room (though he still doesn't seem to be a full adult - just large for his age).

init: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8

Was going to post, but is the map up to date?

My bad. Map updated

Sigríðr charges in behind the fleeting Troglodyte and slams her heavy pick down on the ground with all her might. The floor buckles and ripples as a line of energy passes through towards the larger creature before it explodes under his feet.[/url]

Move Action: Move
Standard Action: Cast Thunderstomp

Thunderstomp trip attempt on Tulok: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 2 = 22

Prizm - double moves forward into the south room.

Krush double moves up.

Blue moves forward and readies an action if baddie gets in range to hit.

Tulok stands and throws a javelin at Blue.
Javelin throw: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Lil trog. Swings with his club at Krush.

Pleased with her results last time, Sigríðr slams her weapon on the floor once more, "Come on guys, get in close enough to take him down if he tries to get up!"

Standard Action: Cast Thunderstomp
Thunderstop trip: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 1 = 22
Move Action: Move forward

Magic Missile Wand!: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Fhlangorn moves up to the large troglodyte on the floor and swings his ethereal axe.

will probably take an attack of opportunity from the other troglodyte

Ectoplasmic Lash: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 4 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 6) + 4 = 12

Prizm gets a plink on Tulok, and Fhlangorn finishes him off.

Lil trog will take his aoo on Fhlangorn. club: 1d20 ⇒ 18 dmg: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1. For a beautiful 1 damage.

With that I'll say the other one's soon toast.

Fight over.

Assume you guys loot like the dutiful pathfinders you are.

You find a key on Tulok.

There's a rusty iron chest (unlocked) in the corner containing the following: a suit masterwork studded leather armor, a masterwork buckler, a masterwork rapier, a shortbow with 15 arrows, a scroll of cure moderate wounds, a scroll of invisibility, a wayfinder, and a climber's kit.

There's a door to the NE of this room. The door to the NE of the West room. And the stairs up. Which do you pick?

dS stick: 1d10 ⇒ 5
dW stick: 1d10 ⇒ 10

Neither door will stick on your eventual open attempts.

"Sigrid, you seem to be pretty good at opening doors, wanna try that one your standing in front of?"

Sure. Sigrid opens the door carefully.

You see a ragged man huddled in the corner, scared, wrists and ankles bound in manacles chained to the wall.

"Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me" He mutters, until his eyes adjust to the light and he sees that you are not his captors.

He notices one of your wayfinders and exclaims with relief. "Pathfinders! Please Release me. Please" He'll beg.

Glastor runs over to the person, and immediately tries to determine his health.
Heall: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Then, he will use a charge off his wand, since it appears his life is in danger of expiring,
clw wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

"Hello! IamGlastorGlotterhoffthethird,andthesearemyfirendsbertandprizmandsigridandf laggyandthesargeaDnskrush! Who are you?"

"Thank you! My name is Balenar Forsend. I am a Pathfinder. A bard. I came to explore this tower after hearing about the earthquake. Probably wasn't the best idea to attempt it alone though... Wasn't expecting it to be inhabited already..."

He shudders, continuing "Those troglodytes were going to sacrafice me to some dark god. You guys look capable. I'll help you finish them off, if we can get my gear back."

"Sure where's it at? Oh and we are Pathfinders too!"

"Not sure. They took it from me when they captured me"

It's the stuff from the chest in the previous room... with the wayfinder...

And. There's no Andrew in this game :P

But Andrew is a Pathfinder. Also don't think we ever opened that chest, just ran into the next combat as the one Trog moved us into this encounter when he entered the room.

"Balenar, was it? I would assume you would have standard Pathfinder issued equipment. Way finder, armor and weapons, letters from faction leaders, etc.?"

The chest was in the S room. Where the larger trog was, right outside this lil prison cell room. I did a gm hand wavey, save time, you loot like pathfinders do. So we could move on. There's still the N room, and upstairs.

"Yep, that sounds like my stuff. " Balenar says.

Fhlangorn moves into the North Room and opens the door.

"WOW that is has been a lot of action! Everything wants to kill us in here, what did we ever do to them?"

Prizm walks up behind Fhlangorn. "Hey! What are you doing with that door? Your beard doesn't look so bad. But well there seems to be some barf in the singe marks.. maybe you should wash it.. it kind of smells. Well maybe it is that bad. Sorry."]

The gnome runs into Fhlangorn as the door opens.

"oof!"

"bert?"

Balenar quickly dons his proffered gear and follows along to to help when he's done (assuming you give him time to).

Fhalngorn saunters off alone to open the door to the Northern room. Prizm does a double take, noticing him leaving and quickly follows on his heels. I imagine most of you would have either followed or shouted at him to wait a sec... Position characters accordingly

Cracks in the walls and ceiling of this chamber have allowed
rainwater to collect here, flooding the room and giving rise to
a profusion of mold and fungus along the walls and ceiling.

Scanning the room quickly, you see a giant frog staring at you hungrily.

"Crush the frog!"

Sigríðr looks concerned, "They've all gone crazy. Now Krush thinks he's a frog."

This is not the type of animal friend that I want. Krush thinks, which comes out as
"ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH"

Sigríðr, not sure why she's still in the other room double moves and still can't save Krush.

Glastor starts giggling uncontrollably. "Kr.. Kr... Khrush! I though tongue was supposed to wait for the second date?" Glastor double moves to be right in front of the door into the room.

He stands there, fists at the ready. "Frog, faceatruefighter!"

Sigrid continues to double move.

Magic Missile Wand: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Fhlangorn crit not confirmed, but his smash finishes the frog off anyway. Krush falls to the ground with a loud thud.

Bert rushes the fallen toad and pecks furiously at its limp body. Upon looking up, he licks his tiny beak.. and goes back to poking at the fallen amphibian.

Krush lifts himself to his feet, stretching and enjoying his freedom.

"That... was not fun," he puts his klar away, picking his earth breaker back up. "Is it dead, or shall I give it another smash?" he asks, looking down at Bert.
