Rappan Athuk Old School

Game Master brvheart

There was an excellent quality lock on the door. You manage to unlock it.

"Well, so far so good in this room.
"Nothing has tried to kill us.
"As yet."

Mitleid slowly walks in and checks for any treasure!
Perc: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

The room contains 11 rat skeletons and smells horrible. There is a door across. There is also an old brass spittoon which contains a thick layer of vile liquid.

Inside the spittoon can be found (DC 8 Perception) a small gold chain with a ruby on it worth 300 gp.

Irenicus will cast detect magic on the potion from the previous room (he is out of town until thursday)
spellcraft: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

It is a rare potion of stone to flesh and has 4 doses.

"Whoa, this is rather potent. We should save it for a rainy, well stony day!"

While the others explore the room, Silvash goes and examines the other door.

Find Traps: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Disable Device: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

You find no trap nor lock on the door.

Silvash points to the spittoon "Don't forget that necklace in there. This door is unlocked when you are ready."

"I might as well open it, I suppose" says Gruk, ready to pull out his Falchion as he opens the door carefully.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

10x10 room with a stairwell down.

Mitleid leads on towards the next room!

::readies mace::

Gruk readies his falchion and follows Mitleid.

::moves into room:: looks toward stairwell

Perc: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

You definitely hear the sound of multiple creatures being the door Mitleid! A lot of squealing!

"Could be a few rats, or even a swarm. Be ready for it!"
When the others tell that they are ready, Mitleid opens the door and stands behind it.

Gruk puts his Falchion away and gets ready to cast a spell …

The door is however locked.

Upon seeing the door locked Silvash says "Allow me." and moves up to the door.

Find Traps: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
Disable Device: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

Well it was an excellent quality lock! It is unlocked now:) Presuming Mitleid is still opening the door, everyone roll init!

init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

There are 16 Dire Rats in the room. Same size as previous.

Ini: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Initiative: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Initiative: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 … wooooo!

The others can go in round two if the show up

Round 1
Gruk casts Flaming Sphere and puts it just inside the door to try and toast the nearest dire rat:
flaming sphere: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 5, 3) + 3 = 15
(dc 16, reflex negates)

reflex: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (19) - 5 = 14

One down!

Oh boy! Looks like rat keebabs! Or maybe not...

initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Initiative Order Round one
Gruk cast flaming sphere
Silvash

Silvash makes a few gestures while saying a few arcane words and a ray of frost leaps from his hand to the next rat.

Spell Failure 10%: 1d100 ⇒ 50
Ray of Frost: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 Damage: 1d3 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + (1, 1) = 3

Mitleid quickly unleashes two arrows at the rats.
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 221d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 181d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Unfortunately Silvash will miss but Mitleid kills 2 more. The ravenous dire rats pour through the doorway and attack the party. (With two spell casters and a ranged monk, no AOOs)

2 attack Thoron

bite: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1 plus disease
bite: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3 plus disease

Mitleid, make a Fort Save (DC 13)

Thorn, Irenicus and Gruk if he gets here are up.

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

::swings at rat with longsword:: longsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Thoron misses.

Round 2
Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Uh-oh!

Gruk first tries to hit the rat to the left of him in the hallway:
falchion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 3 = 10

… and then wills his Flaming sphere against one of the others attacking him:
flaming sphere, round 2/5: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5, 5) + 3 = 14
(dc 16, reflex negates)

@ brvheart: could I have a rolly fire ball icon I can move?
Puh-retty please?

Sorry Gruk, it was in the back.

reflex: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (1) - 5 = -4

Gruk kills another rat with the sphere

Thanks, brvheart. And Yaaah Flaming Sphere!

sorry grum is back and ready to fight and take the lead

on my turn will move fifteen up and attack rat

init Grum: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Silvash moves five feet over to flank a rat with Thoron and attacks.

+1 Rapier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (1, 6) = 10

Mitleid quickly nocks two more arrows and lets loose.
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 211d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 211d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Three more dead rats. The last four rats pour out of the room, two of which move past Gruk and Mitleid. Take an AOO Gruk, then I will take their attacks.
