RD's Fangwood Keep (Inactive)

Game Master Rene Duquesnoy

"Seems clear to me. Back down then?"

You do find some mundane stuff on the archers, but they each have a potion of CLW.

There is a door to the north.

Oh right. A door

"Actually, there's those doors. Kelvor, would you like to do the honours and find us some more trouble?"

Armun pauses, then adds, "Assuming we're all set. Tarrow, drink one of the potions if you need to. They're curative potions."

"Thanks Armun, I'll take one of those. However I'll ask my robed friend if he can use that wand of his. It makes me feel bad and good at the same time!"

"I thought for sure there would be a secret door here. Hmmm..." Tarrow kicks the wall. "Can I get some help here?"

If we find don't find any secret doors....

Check for traps on the North door, form up in default marching order and have Kelvor pop the door.

Well done gentlemen. Let us hope more more alarm was raised. Narvik will allow the others to do their thing and prepare to enter the door.

Pribam nods graciously to Tarrow, draws forth the wand of infernal healing, steps toward Tarrow, and activates the wand. He monitors Tarrow's health a moment through the deathwatch eyes. If he is still wounded after the spell has run it's course, Pribam activates the wand a second time.

I think Tarrow only needs one shot, but if he needs two, he gets two before we proceed.

When the healing is done, Pribam restows the wand, pulls his wand of magic missile and takes his place at the rear of the marching order.

If we find don't find any secret doors....

Take 20?

Yes take 20

Perception = 25

" Thank you Pribam, your help is always welcome.

Tarrow searches, and using the knowledge he received from Acre (the wounded guy in the passage), a secret door has been revealed. Hail Razmir!

Hail Razmir!

*grumbles*

Pribam recasts message on everyone, then detect magic, while still out on the rampart in the expectation of more sneaking about.

Hail Razmir, indeed!

Kelvor did not object to taking point AND took the ring of Prot, so we will put him in the front of the marching order as previously set up.

"Eureka! I knew that bugger was here. Kelvor if you would be so kind as to pop that door."

Tarrow eyes the secret door for traps

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

If Tarrow does not see anything we pop the door

The door opens. Inside are more suits of armor. This time, they are heavy armor.

Armun will do a thorough search of the room (take 20)
Perception: 27

Armun steps into the room, and the 2 sets of full plate animate and attack, surprising the crap out of him.

Kelvor: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Pribam: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16
Tarrow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Narvik: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Armun: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
1d20 ⇒ 6

The one closest to the door gets an attack, the other moves to Armun (flat-footed).

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Everyone but Narvik & Animated Armor

Oh no! My pants!

Armun will 5ft step back and fire two arrows into the RED animated armor.

Rapid Shot, Point Blank, and Arcane Strike
Attack 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Attack 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Narvik simply stands there, caught offguard by the animated armor!

Just saying I'm still here. :)

The first arrow hits, but then clanks off the armor as if nothing happened with your puny little arrows. Second one misses.

Tarrow swears, surprised by the walking,attacking armor."For gad sakes!"

Tarrow expertly works his spring loaded wrist sheath to use the adamantine arrows stored there, and unloads on blue

Point Blank + Rapid Shot
Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Damage: 1d10 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 5 + (3) = 18

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Damage: 1d10 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (2) = 9

" I hate it when those damned things do this kinda thing!"

Pribam begins reciting the parable of the Slattern from "The Thirty One Steps" to inspire the Pathfinders.

Perform (oratory): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Everyone should be +1 to hit and +1 to damage, except for Armun's first shots, including Tarrow's shots.

"Once, on the shores of Lake Encarthan, there lived a young maiden..."

Pribam wonders if he knows anything about sets of plate armor that animate and attack.

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Apparently, Pribam had a large lunch before the lecture on such topics at the cloister.

Both of Tarrow's bolts pierce the animated plate mail for full damage (plus song).

Kelvor up.

Kelvor steps up and positions himself between the two suits of armor. He swings his earthbreaker at the first suit and backswings to the second suit.

Pwr Atk: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 = 29 Dmg: 2d6 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 17 + 1 = 22
CLEAVE Pwr Atk: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 1 = 19 Dmg: 2d6 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) + 17 + 1 = 22

The Cleave assumes Kelvor can stand adjacent to both suits. Is the Roll20 map up to date? I can't see it.

It is, and you should be able to. I'll move you accordingly (just a 5ft step)

Blue goes down. Red gets smashed, but not all damage goes through.

Red double smashes Kelvor.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

I think the 20 hits right? 8 points on Kelvor.

Heroes up!

Tarrow fires two more adamantine bolts into Red. 5 foot stepping to get the clearest shot. I can't see the map

Point Blank + Rapid Shot + Bard Song
Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (6) = 18

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 6 + (2) = 18

Tarrow, I moved you 5ft to get a shot, but cover is unavoidable. Thankfully, looks like your rolls don't care!

Armun, having seen how ineffective his arrows are but not caring, will fire another pair

Arcane Strike, Point Blank, and Rapid Shot in effect...
Attack 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage 1: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Attack 2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Damage 2: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

And from there he'll take a 5ft step out of the way.

Thunk Thunk....Tarrow kills the other animated object.

Off initiative.

Now that was interesting. Narvik will step forward and investigate the former enemies as well as the other armor in the room. He'll also cast Detect Magic in the area.

Narvik doesn't detect anything magical, and the only quality armor seems to have a few bolts sticking out. Probably worthless now.

Nice. Well, Armun will now resume his search of the room.

Take 20 Perception = 27

Armun doesn't find anything interesting.

Tarrow replaces the adamatine bolts he used in his spring loaded wrist sheath, in fact he puts five each arm.

"Not much here, lets move out."

If everyone is done with the second armory, Tarrow motions the group to form up in marching order on the north double doors.

Tarrow looks for traps and if he doesn't find any he asks Kelvor to pop the door.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Armun will knock back one of the Potions of Cure Light Wounds, and then get in position with his bow.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Wiping his mouth, he'll turn to Pribam and say,"Your recitations aren't bad, if a bit serious. Next time we find trouble, it's my turn!"

I can't wait to hear it, Armum. Narvik says, though it is unclear whether his interest is true or sarcastic. Let us hope we will not require any inspiration in the near future.

"A pity I did not get to finish it. It is a most educational story, but I look forward to hearing you perform."

Pribam draws his wand of infernal healing and heals both Kelvor and Armun, although the latter barely needs it, while Armun takes his time searching the room.

"This will only make your skin crawl for about a minute. Then you will be fully healed."

Armun's skin does indeed crawl from the Infernal Healing, a magic he recognizes. He gives Pribam a look that starts off surprised, and quickly turns to anger. "That's a very evil magic you use. A 'gift' from Razmir, is it? Nevermind, I don't want to know. Let's move on and get that door open."

"It is a trick he stole from Asmodeus and grants to the faithful. To use the tools of evil to cure the ills caused by evil is not, in and of itself an evil act. It is not like we are animating the corpses or consuming the souls of our foes. Instead, we using the blood of fiends, in this case in the crafting of this wand, to grant a small kindness and do a good deed. The Living God teaches that such acts are just."

"Prepared words. Ones I'm sure you've had to utter before. In a world where Shelyn kindness can close wounds, Razmir chooses instead to tell his disciples of stolen magic from Asmodeus? That seems telling, to me."

Armun shakes his head. "We're wasting light. You have your method, and I have my own," he says, patting a wand in his backpack.

"Kelvor, how about that door," Armun asks, not wanting to get bogged down in a philosophical debate.

Kelvor pops the door open. There is a hallway, with a door on the north, west, east, and south. Oh no! 2 more hobgoblins and some dogs!

ARFF ARFF!
Kelvor: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Pribam: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
Tarrow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Narvik: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Armun: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Kelvor, then baddies, then the rest of the story.

Quick as ever I am.

Blast! More hobgoblins, and dogs too? Our luck continues!

Pribam breathes a sigh of relief. He was growing concerned that his consistently high initiative numbers would give him away as not being an actual cleric! Finally he is near the bottom of the order, where clerics belong!

After the baddies go...

Tarrow raises his crossbow "Have at thee fiend!" At blue

If the first shot kills blue, second shot on green.

Point Blank + Rapid shot

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (2) = 9

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33 Crit threat
Damage: 1d10 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (2) = 9

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26 IF confirmed
Damage: 1d10 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 5 + (5) = 16

Kelvor steps in immediately and moves to engage the hobgoblins.

Pwr Atk: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 Dmg: 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (1, 3) + 17 = 21
CLEAVE Pwr Atk: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 Dmg: 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (5, 6) + 17 = 28

Can't see the map, as I'm at the airport about to board my flight back to LAX. If I can't get in cleave range, then assume a single attack.

I moved Kelvor on the map. Should be no issue getting the Cleave in on the dogs.

Armun begins to sing, inspiring is companions (+1 Attack & Damage)
"As I went home on Moonday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a horse outside the door where my old horse should be"

2 dead puppies

both hobgoblins rapid shot PBS kelvor

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

1 hit for 9 damage.

Tarrow thwacks blue...dead
Armun inspires courage (+1 attack/damage)
Rest of party up

How'd I know I'd be inspired by a story involving drinking? Narvik gives a toothy grin as Armun spins his tale.

Narvik steps up and fires a bolt at the lone hobgoblin!

XBow: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8 for Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Pribam reaches toward the ceiling and calls upon the Living God to produce another golden spear, which Pribam lets fly at the last remaining foe!

Splintered Spear: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 = 23 counting the inspiration but not the cover

Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10 plus one point of bleed.

"Razmir, smite Thine foe!"

Narvik misses, but Pribam's spear hits!

Round 2.
Kelvor. Then Baddies. Then rest.
