Male Elder GM

Petronicus is unable to detect any magical emanations from anything in the room, beyond what the party brought in with them.
The cobra is made of darkwood, and may have some value.
It appears that the lumps under the slippery orange scum are bits of some sort of meat.
The passage to the south has collapsed a short distance away, and the one to the east turns north after a short distance.

"Norff I guess." Morgrom nudges the snake with the toe of his boot. "Iz this tha shipment?"
Male Elder GM

The north passage leads to a large room which contains an open area to the south next to a raised dais and a passageway leading east. Further north, the floor drops away into a wide pit along the back wall. Between the open area and the pit, several strands of a thick, glue-like substance stretch from floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall, creating a maze of ropes to navigate.

Morgrom Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Thorthal Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Thorthal:
Thorthal spies a small figure dangling from some strands of the webbing(?) over the pit - Rexel the Apothecary! He also sees a humanoid figure hiding by the wall behind the strands.

Can a skill check help ID what is going on here?
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"Gentlemen, I have a bad feeling about this, and a worse feeling about what I'm going to say. I have been pondering Silam's words ..."

Haer Kul deepens his voice and affects a bumpkin accent:

Silam wrote:
"... I took the people downstairs where he told me. I saw the hall and the wet room and the tomb. I took people to the tomb. ... I think the Master lives behind the glow." (link)

"I don't think Silam came through the glow. So I think the tomb is down the passageway we did not explore. If the prisoners are still alive, we may find them there. But it means trudging through that foul flooded passageway again." Haer Kul does not even try to hide his disgust at the prospect.

"I hesitate to say this, but I suggest we go back and try to find the tomb first, before facing this Master."
Male Dwarf Brawler Lvl: 3 HP:28/28 AC: 17(16)/12/15(14) +Ring? F: +5 R: +5 W: +3 Init: +2 Perception: +8 Darkvision MF: 3/4

Thorthal will attempt to talk in a whisper, which probably means his normally indecipherable speech makes even less sense.

"It looks loch oor friend Rexal is caught in th' webs, an' there's someain micht be waitin' tae ambush us."
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

(Fairly Loudly) Let's send the halflimg theif forward to check on Rexal. I'll protect you with some silencing magic, burglar friend!

<Petronicus casts silent image>

A cloaked halfling emerges from the group and approaches the struggling Rexal. He moves in complete silence but fully in view.

"We can't just leave Rexal behind."
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

Petronicus whispers to Scuttles to sneak up along the ceiling and chew the apothecary free.

Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35
Male Elder GM

The "halfling rogue" makes its way across the room towards the obstructing strands. As it passes them, a figure leaps out and attacks it.

The grotesque humanoid figure looks vaguely female. Its pale, hairless, oozing flesh is peeling away from its body in strips.

The party gets a surprise round due to Petronicus' deception. You may each take a single action. Roll for initiative while your at it.
Sovereign Court

Hurray an illusion worked!
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

Petronicus lets fly with a crossbow bolt.

Are there rules for moving into or through this room?
Male Elder GM

The area with the webs is difficult terrain.
Male Dwarf Brawler Lvl: 3 HP:28/28 AC: 17(16)/12/15(14) +Ring? F: +5 R: +5 W: +3 Init: +2 Perception: +8 Darkvision MF: 3/4

Thorthal will proceed into the room.

"Yig! Unsightly!" exclaims Bardos as he loads his sling.
Male Half-Orc Warpriest Lvl:3 HP: 30 AC: 17/10/17 F: 7 R: 4 W: 8 Init: 1 Percep: 2

Morgrom proceeds in as well and tries to identify whatever that creature is.
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Haer Kul will move into the room, but stay back. He will also attempt to identify the creature.

Me too me too with the creature identifying:

Knowitall: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Male Elder GM

Petronicus and Morgrom do not have the appropriate Knowledge.

Haer Kul:
The creature is an Adherer, so named because it exudes a glue-like substance which adheres on contact. They are resistant to magic and all weapon damage. They are usually transformed humanoids, who become cannibalistic. However, their slow metabolism means they can keep their victims alive and eat them over a period of weeks.

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

Haer Kul looks at Petronicus and Morgrom with an increasingly smug expression as it becomes clear they don't recognize the creature.

"Gentleman, this foul thing is referred to as an 'Adherer', so named because it exudes a glue-like substance which adheres on contact. Alas, they are resistant to magic and all weapon damage."

He begins to warm to his subject. "They are usually transformed humanoids, who become cannibalistic. However, their slow metabolism means they can keep their victims alive and eat them over a period of weeks. Nasty, nasty creatures, no?

"I do not know if it will follow us if we go back the way we came. I suspect not."
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

Petronicus takes a step forward and loads and fires his crossbow.

Hail Mary!: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 2 - 4 = 91d8 ⇒ 5

Scuttles continues sneaking along the ceiling to free the gnome.
Male Elder GM

As instructed, Scuttles begins chewing on the gluey strand dangling Rexal over the pit.

Reflex save for Scuttles, please

Morgrom
Bardos
Adherer
Thorthal
Haer Kul
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

How deep does that pit look to Petronicus? Are there strands to break Rexalls fall at all or a straight drop?
Male Elder GM

Petronicus cannot see the bottom from his current location, but he cannot see the pit all that well.

Scuttles becomes ensnared in the gooey strand.
Male Half-Orc Warpriest Lvl:3 HP: 30 AC: 17/10/17 F: 7 R: 4 W: 8 Init: 1 Percep: 2

Morgrom snorts in derision at the mention the creature is immune at all damage and strikes with his great sword.

Thwack!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 122d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8
Male Elder GM

The adherer is distracted by Petronicus' illusion, but Morgrom's clumsy slash is still unable to get through its thick hide.

Reflex Save from Morgrom, please.

Bardos
Adherer
Thorthal

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Medium Lvl:3 HP:24/24 AC:16/12/14 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+5

Bardos moves up and attempts to hit the creature with a sling bullet:

Sling Bullet: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 51d4 ⇒ 2
Male Elder GM

Morgrom's greatsword becomes tangled in the gluey strands surrounding the creature. While his weapon is entangled, the monster reaches towards Morgrom in an attempt to reposition the warpriest into the webbing.

Reposition Combat Maneuvre: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

The half-orc stands his ground.

That would normally provoke an attack, but Morgrom is effectively disarmed. He may try to pull his weapon free as a Strength check on his turn (standard action which provokes).

Rexel calls out, "Morgrom! Help! There's also a bug trying to eat me!"

Thorthal will attempt to approach Rexel, attempting to avoid attacks of opportunity by steering clear of the creature. He will glance down to check the depth of the pit when he reaches it.

Reflex, if needed: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

He will then attempt to formulate a plan on how to get Rexel down, while he looks for the bug attempting to eat him.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"Rexel, how did you get here? Do you have any idea how to get through this cursed webbing?"

Haer Kul will move closer by 10' and try to determine whether the webbing might be flammable, or whether getting all greased up might help one get through the webs.
2 people marked this as a favorite.
Male Elder GM

Thorthal is unable to see any bug attempting to eat Rexel except for the entangled Scuttles. The pit is 20' deep, and contains 7 listless townsfolk.

Haer Kul cannot think of a scenario where being greased up would not help.

Possibly more from Haer Kul

Petronicus suddenly remembers the group has all kinds of weapons and items they have found in their adventures. He pulls out an elixir of Fire Breath and drinks it while stepping forward 5'. He will have wait until next round to get into range and breathe on the creature.

"Dinnae worry Rexel, that's only Scuttles, he's harmless..."

Thorthal glances back at Petronicus

"Weel, A dinnae think he'll eat ye... probably..."
Male Half-Orc Warpriest Lvl:3 HP: 30 AC: 17/10/17 F: 7 R: 4 W: 8 Init: 1 Percep: 2

Morgrom lets his great sword go and draws his masterwork long sword, striking two-handed at the creature.

Long Sword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 221d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Male Elder GM

Morgrom's sword bites into the creature, but is slowed by the strands and only does about half as much damage as expected.

Needs another Reflex Save from Morgrom.

Bardos
Adherer
(unless Haer Kul wants to add an action)
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

Haer Kul will try to cut through the webbing furthest from the adherer, using one of his daggers.
Male Half-Orc Warpriest Lvl:3 HP: 30 AC: 17/10/17 F: 7 R: 4 W: 8 Init: 1 Percep: 2

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 *smh*
Medium Lvl:3 HP:24/24 AC:16/12/14 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+5

What a strange creature! Exclaims Bardos as he loads and fires another sling bullet:

Sling Bullet: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 111d4 ⇒ 2
Male Elder GM

Haer Kul finds that it is not webbing, but strings of some sort of glue.

Morgrom's longsword becomes entangled in the creature.

The humanoid steps forward and grabs at Morgrom again.
grabby hands: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
This time, it successfully pushes the half-orc into the strands.
That's another Reflex save, Morgrom.

I forgot to say that Thorthal also sees strands all through the pit.

Thorthal will attempt to move through the glue above Haer Kul, pulling out a dagger while he moves.

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Assuming he's not stuck he will move out of the glue to beside the creature and attempt to strike it with the dagger.

Stab, Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Thorthal strikes the monster with his dagger, but inflicts a minimal amount of damage.
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

Petronicus breathes fire on the creature.

Whoosh!: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 6) = 12

Reflex Save dc 13 for half.
Male Elder GM

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
The creature is badly burned by Petronicus' attack, and it moans in pain.

Haer Kul
Petronicus (resolved)
Morgrom (pending Save)
Bardos
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

Haer Kul will cast produce flame, move below Thorthal adjacent to the creature, and
touch attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 burn, baby, burn: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5.

... is he at least mesmerized by Haer Kul's random flailing? ...
Male Elder GM

Scuttles continues to chew at the strand suspending Rexel over the pit, managing to entwine himself further.

Morgrom
Bardos
Monster
Male Elder GM

Morgrom is having problems posting.

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Morgrom is entangled in the "webs".
Male Half-Orc Warpriest Lvl:3 HP: 30 AC: 17/10/17 F: 7 R: 4 W: 8 Init: 1 Percep: 2

Morgrom draws his dagger and stabs awkwardly at the creature.

Dagger: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 2 = 41d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

FFS!
Male Elder GM

Morgrom attempts to slow the creature down by adding more metal to it, but his attack goes wide and he hangs on to his dagger.

Bardos
Medium Lvl:3 HP:24/24 AC:16/12/14 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+5

Bardos loads and fires a sling bullet at the weird creature:

Stupid Sling!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d4 ⇒ 2

"I an totally taking this thing back to the weapon shop I bought it from!" exclaims a frustrated Bardos.
