Initiative:
Gregory, Aurora Aeldan, monster uran Vanya.
You see a big block of rock, drilled with a few holes. Two tentacles can be seen.
Shrugging, Gregory attempts to crack the rock like an egg, to find the gooey monster inside...
Aelden looks at the rock, down at his longsword, then back at the rock. He grins as he sheathes the sword and draws his mithral warhammer. "Right tool for th' job, mates!" He says to no one in particular, stepping up to attack.
It is no robot. Actually it is nothing you have ever heard or dreamed of. You may roll a Dc 20 Kn Nature to guess a weakspot.
Uran takes a shot at one of the tentacles.
Attack-ranged:
Damage:
Vanya tries to find out what it is and how to defeat it.
You have heard of sone animals living inside gollowed out stones. Maybe if you break the stone. Also blunt or slashing weapons some quite uniffective
"There is something living inside the stone. I think piercing weapons work best here! Try to hit the holes! Maybe we should destroy the stone first?" Vanya shouts before taking her bow and shooting an arrow at the block.
Aelden will strike then at the stone with his mithral warhammer.
Damage?
There is a major crack in the stoneshell.
The tentacles flayl wildly and try to hit Aeldan. One reaches under the shield and smacks him on his leg, but the fighter manages to deflext some of the blow.
Gregory gamely continues to attempt to split the shell of the tentacular beast!
I guess you do a sunder attempt. With a mighty blw the stone cracks and you see a ball of leathery goo with many more tentacles. But only two are long enough to reach you
Aelden grunts in pain as the tentacle shears through his armor.
Uran fires at the now revealed creature.
Attack-ranged:
Damage:
Aurora blasts the now revealed creature
Booth hit the creature badly. You can see green-black blood seeping from the gunshot wound.
Botting Vanya. 2rounds
2 Arrows sink deep in the leathery flesh and the alien shudders and lies still.
The group looks around and can see only desert ahead. It is getting late again and you feel that all you need is a good nights rest.
What a horrible beast, good idea with cracking it's outer layer
Aurora nods in approval
It's easy to lose track of time in here, but I believe it is high time we rested. So who's cooking? Unless you have a death wish I suggest it isn't me!
"I'm for a rest, lass. That's for certain." Aelden looks around. "But where? That's th' trick, eh?"
Well there is always the foundry in.. and you would guess Val has made some delicious dinner.
"Well let us mosey on back to town fer a fill up and rest! What say you all?"
You return without problem to the foundry inn. A smiling face greets you and the girl happily declares."You got an invitation..... to the gambling hall. Isn´t that great. I wish I could go there. They have dancers and games and music and great food."With a sigh"And I can´t join because they say I am too young."
Then let's go back and rest, we can at least tell Val we have confirmed sightings of her father. We'd best get going, it's a long walk back!
As soon as you rest up and try to sell the found items you find the best place to change the silverdisks is the casino.
Rules for the casino.
In the inventation you will get a starting pot of 10 silverdisks. PER PERSON.
You can invest bet up to 5 silverdisks per game.
You then roll profession gambler DC 15
So 14 and below you lose your stakes.
15-19 you break even.
20+ you double your stakes.
Tell me if and how do you go. Packed for heat, or packed for leasure.
OH you can substitue Sense Motive for Card games.
Ah now games of chance were never something that interested me much, I can see the appeal but I have no patience for cards and no desire to chance my luck with dice or wheel. Aurora muses
Though I'd be happy to tag along with anyone that is going, perhaps a few drinks to relax would be beneficial as long as we do not stay too long, we must be back inside the caves early tomorrow!
As the Gremlin is prone, that is enough to kill the gremlin. With a last laugh... he dies. You suddenly feel again a bit luckier. You are sure the gremlin menace is over. She wordlessly hands you over a pouch with a few items.The pouch contains 49 silverdisks and five strange cards made of a f lexible, smooth material. These five cards each bear a brown stripe.
Also she offers to answer you your questions and tell you what she knows.
Urans Bullet strikes the creature solid in the chest and he toppels over. Combat over. Again you find trapmakers tools with them. After searching the other caves you enter another huge cage.
Each of those gremlins has MW trapmakers tools. Worth 100gp each

"Ah, now then, poker is a real man's game. Step aside there lass and let me at that thar table!"
Bet: 5 silver discs
Sense Motive (poker):
"WhhooheeYeah! Full House! Thats thar way to do it!"
So you all go? Without heavy weapons and armor?
You are greeted by a the owner of the silverdisk gambling hall, pumping your hands and making a big show showing you around, offering free drinks and politly asking about your adventures so far. He introduces himself as Garmen Ulreth.
Vanya goes without weapons and armor. It's the first time she goes to a gambling hall.
Aelden will NOT go. Wounded severely, he will get all the rest he can.
"Well thats enough excitement for me friends. Thanks fer the game, now I must retire."
Val, seeing Aelden hurt, will ask the headpriest to come over and heal the party. He offers to channel three times a day, to lessen your wounds.
. Each of you gets 15Hp back.
Everyone seems to be eager to aid you in your quest.
"Ah. A right and proper thanks, mate. I feel better."
