RD's Skull & Shackles: Wormwood Mutiny (Inactive)

Game Master Rene Duquesnoy

"A giant toad lair? Really? Common people we have things to do..."

Can we identify the kind of animals by the footprint?

depends on the survival check. in this case, the prints look like animal prints. if you rolled higher, you may have seen some humanoid prints. i'd suggest just going down the path

"I've got an Idea! Let's follow this path and see where it goes!"

Like that? ^_^

Aye, sounds reasonable...lead on! Johender says as falls back in line.

Survival: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Talfryn follows the others along the trail. "Anyone have any idea what kind of tracks these are, probably a good idea to know since we are following them."

Linark raises an eyebrow to the aasimar:
"If you find we're going after an owlbear, would this stop you?"

"If anything, it would let me know to be prepared to face an ownbear." Talfryn answers simply.

"I hope it is a dragon, I really want to meet a dragon! My friend Gryne wanted to accompany me to find out but took a different mission from the Society." then Twigg jumps into the bushes and follows along.

stealth 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 5 = 9 take penalty to move at full speed

survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

"Looks like <insert information from GM> to me. "

Johender looks down at the ground, wondering what everyone is looking at.

Survival Aid: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 +5 to track

You uncover more humanoid prints, although this time, they don't look like they are walking normally. They could be dragging their feet when they walk.

Linark will follow the trackers, not knowing what that could possibly mean.

Follow the humanoid prints then.

"Ok, found the humanoid prints again, but they are kinda walking funny now. I think we should keep on that trail. "

Survival check for footprints 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

To Twigg, I know Gryne, he's an odd Dwarf, he uses air magic[/dice]
[b]I'd like to see a dragon too, maybe we can find one later.

Twigg jumps up from his hiding place with a cheer "Huzzah! I missed the company of gnomes! Oops I was suppose to be hiding" Twigg immediately jumps back into the bush.

You are able to track the footprints down a path. You continue your sleuthy ways, then a terrible stench fills the swamp here, a fetid odor of cheap perfume and rotting flesh. A huge tree stands in the middle of a clearing in the swamp, draped with some sort of huge tent. Lurid, painted faces cover both the tree trunk and tent, and both are decorated with rotting humanoid body parts and carpets of squirming insects.

map updated

"OK, that's rather distasteful. You figure a troll whore?"

"I wonder if someone friendly is in there?" Twigg says without a sarcastic tone.

Twigg casts Detect Magic as the group approaches and continues to stealth forward.

Linark draws his Nodachi, and takes a look at the terrain before moving in.

Are we on solid ground? Is the whole area like that?
Also, we can see the interior of the tent, right?

Johender readies his bow with another arrow and peers into the tent.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Twigg does not detect any magic.

You can see a little in the tent and see rotting remains of humans, huge pile of filthy clothes, a vast bed of moldering cushions, and a copy of Shackles Today probably dated years ago.

There is a cloud of flies in the tent as that stuff smells nastay!

"Ok, I guess someone better go in and look. Cover me. "

and Jothas will advance to look into the tent.

Talfryn moves up, gun in one hand, shield in the other to peer inside of the tent as well, he nods his head at Jothas as he loads a round into his gun.

"Gimme a second Jothas."
Linark detects evil presences in the area, and then follows Jothas.

"Sure thing. " And he pauses for Linark, then proceeds towards the tent.

4 faint evil auras are detected, then they stand up.

K.Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 I would like to recall what I know before doing my actions.

"Lets draw them to us. I am a trickster remember! I have some tricks up my sleeve..." Twigg says as quietly as he can without alerting the monsters.

Linark recognizes these creatures as ghouls. If they hit you with an attack, you could become paralyzed, diseased, or both. They have a little resistance to channeling.

"Those are ghouls! Don't let them hit you, or you could become paralyzed, diseased, or both! Step back and wait for them!

Linark moves to support the others and ready an attack for when a enemy comes within range.

when Twigg's turn comes up

He wiggles his fingers and smiles.

Twigg casts Silent Image so that a younger handsome shirtless man is standing around with his back to the ghouls swaying back and forth like he is drunk. The illusion will appear in front of Jothas.

all heroes can go at the same time since they are above the ghouls in inits. added silent image

Johender draws back and fires an arrow at a ghoul.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Nearest ghoul

ghouls are labeled. can you see the labels?

whoops. i didn't have view name enabled. now you should see em

Talfryn holds his gun firmly, reading an attack for any ghoul that comes within 20 feet.

I'll assume the terrain is all open (so I can 5' step diagonally closer to ghoul4.

trip: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 Bet that trips a ghoul

Now my missed attack won't happen T_T you're so mean Jothas...

at least with it on the floor you're less likely to miss. Anyway, I bet they will be coming to you soon enough.

all these readied attacks...

I don't think Jothas Attack was readied...He has some reach with that sap of his.

Johender's attack wasn't a ready. He was trying to catch them flatfooted.

Yeah, I moved 5' and then the ghoul was within my 15 reach with the whip. I executed the attack already.

gotcha

In my office looking for Lini's character sheet. Sorry for the delay.

Leopard will hold action until Lini goes.

Lini jumps up and claps her hands....Oh, sick!....Ghouls!..keep back friends.

Lini casts entangle on the group of ghouls, careful to not hinder the terrain directly in front of us and them. basically I want to trap them and not make it tough for us to get to them. If possible?

Entangle has a Reflex save of 14. Range is 560 ft...that is insane.

Droogami will then Defend Lini. What is the ruling if a character bites a ghoul, I assumed they would fall under the same disease effect.

Reflex saves from ghouls!
1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
3: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
4: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

whore 1 tries to bust out of entangle.
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

whore 2 comes at the silent image and attacks it.
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

whore 3 tried to bust out of entangle.
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

whore 4 stands up (provoking from Jothas)
Jothas' trip
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

whore 1 stays stuck

whore 2 needs a will save vs image
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

whore 3 is out of entangle and moves.

whore 4 is knocked down, and uses the second move action to stand up again. then steps out of entangle.
(scratch that..difficult terrain. no 5ft step)
