Rappan Athuk Old School

Game Master brvheart

Irenicus will move in and follow the rest of the group.

"Kaztor, While you're at it..." Virgil looks down, motioning to the bolt sticking out of his shoulder and at the arrow in his leg, wincing.

6/13 HP. Virgil is feeling it. Any chance of some healing? Please and thank you?

The ranger looks around anxiously, clearly perturbed by something.

Sorry Had a rough night before and every second tuesday is pen and paper. Now I am back and kicking.

Kaz draws the injured around him, and sends a burst of healing power through all of them.

Channel 1d6 ⇒ 4

While Kaztor heals everyone, Irenicus casts Mage Armor upon himself, his garments glowing for a moment after he has finished. (AC 17 for now)

Irenicus tries to remember anything about this castle he has heard locally, as the patrol the inside. Know Local: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Appraise: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 He points at the crockery, "If fixed, those would have value." He half-smirks at the orc rummaging through the refuse.

Castle Calaelen (Cah-lay-lan) sits in ruin, built into the side of a small hill, west of Zelkor’s Ferry and north of the Mouth of Doom. Its construction was ordered by an Elven noble with more coin than sense. It pre-dates the fall of Tsar and the Sunken Graveyard, although time has not been kind to it. More a fort or manor than a proper castle, it has been home to anyone who wanted a roof over their heads — even if the roof looked like it was ready to fall in at any moment. The pale stone bricks of the walls have begun to crumble or roll down the hill, and the main building does not look to be in good shape; the entire structure leans to the east in a worrying way.

You will have to enter the room to appraise the tea set

well that feels better feeling Kaztor's healing prayer take affect, Elathras turns to the dwarf nodding, "thanks", then going over to the dumbwaiter he cuts the rope down and tosses it to the side and then asks "Well if you want to save the crockery would someone clear it off of the table, I'd like to nail the table over the broken dumbwaiter so none of the little bastards escape, No honor in fighting goblins but after being shot at I would just as soon kill all of them." Elathras waits patiently for someone to pick up the table setting if no one does he will dump it off the table, either way he drags the table over to the dumbwaiter and asks virgil to nail it to the wall

And the tea set explodes!
Everyone in the room and Katzor take
piercing: 3d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 1) = 4 damage DC11 reflex for half.

You hear goblins snickering off in the distance.

"This castle is some elf's folly. It is in bad repair but not claimed, that I am aware of. It could serve well as a safe haven when needed, if we clear out the offending refuse." He says as he looks over the crockery in the room, assisting with moving it to a sack.

Well, now we know who set off the trap! Make a reflex Irenicus. FYI, I used one of your force missiles and one toppling magic missile. It sent a goblin flying!

Dolgrin turns around and looks at Virgil down the hall, "Well, I didn't set THIS one off!" At least Virgil was protected from the blast by the wall this time.

XP=115 for the two traps so far.

Oh I thought the room was already checked and wrozgruk checking the contents for value...

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Truly, this is a lovely abode. Full of old world charm, a rich sense of elegance and decorum, and apparently exploding crockery.

Dolgrin continues to monitor the hall and the front door.

Wdrozgrúk follows Elathras into the abandoned room. Trying to spot anything useful and/or valuable, if he can.

[dice=perception]1d20+6

This was the only perception check done in the room and he was specifically looking for valuables and useful things. I have been watching to see if anyone was going to check for traps.

Reflex 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Kaz's armor absorbs much of the explosion. "Let's kill all of those miserable bastards," he grumbles, while he picks porcelain out of his beard.

rofl! This is RA. Might as well get used to goblins making your life miserable. I got tall ones, short ones, fat ones, giant ones, bomber goblins....I model my goblins after Tucker's kobolds and we haven't even seen any of mine yet!

Irenicus glares at the elf who told him to clear off the table, his eyes glowing and a strange wind swirling around removing the dirt and straightening his hair and garments (prestidigitation). "I have some choice words for that goblin who dares to utter a sound in my direction."

He looks around for the origin of the snickering. Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Virgil peeks into the room after the explosion."Everyone alright? What happened?"

I am really looking forward to killing many goblins Elathras, now bleeding again, looks around the ceiling, hoping one of the goblins can see him and thumbs his nose in the general direction of the laughter. He then goes to the table and said "Ok, lets Nail this table over the hole and go kill some goblins!"

Elathras wanted to use a shield, but no someone said use the table...hhhmmm, whose ideas was that, you say....evil gm

Now I resemble that remark! Which did not stop anyone for searching for traps on the table though I might add.

reflex save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
That figures! Oh well, at least the damage wasn't excessive.

"I don't suppose anyone can patch me up a bit? That hurt! First chance I get, I'll give those little runts something to complain about!"

forgot the reflex roll

reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

after they nail the table over the now rope-less dumbwaiter, Elathras ask "Are we ready to go and find these goblins?"after asking his question Elathras steps out the door. Seeing the Halfling headed the opposite direction Elathras calls out "Wait up, no need to wander off and die" he then proceeds to head over to where the Halfling is and checks the door for anything suspicious.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 you have got to be kidding me

Virgil reluctantly enters the exploding room, watching carefully for any other traps/exploding mundane things.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Convinced that it's safe, the Ranger approaches the dumb waiter and—with Elathras's help—nails the table over the hole.

Dolgrin takes a 5' step and opens the door. Mittleid moves up to cover the group.

Virgil, always on the alert, watches the entrance to the hallway behind the party.

A goblin fires at Elathras
shortbow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Top of round

init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Elathras, watching Dolgrin open the door, is surprised as the goblin arrow grazes his arm, oh he is so dead Elathras drops the shield and firmly grasping his pole arm in both hands charges the goblin that shot him.

charge, power attack, Guisarme AC 16

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 2 = 21 for damage: 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (1, 1) + 9 = 11

Dolgrin moves in and attacks the leader
silver boarding axe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Virgil attempts to open the door next to him, hearing the cries of his colleagues in the room beyond. Finding it barred, the Ranger heaves with all his weight...

Strength Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Slamming the door practically off of its hinges.

Irenicus moves behind Virgil and casts his last toppeling magic missile at the goblin on the right
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Mittleid moves up and flurries the leader

Flurry:: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
FlurryPS:: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4
Flurry:: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Hits once and drops him to 0.

The leader goblin withdraws and the other three fire arrows, 1 at Dolgrin and 2 at Virgil

shortbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
shortbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
shortbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Oh, that's done it. You burned my whiskers, prepare to die.

Virgil dashes forward, rounding the dining table and loosing an arrow at the nearest standing goblin.

Shortbow attack and damage: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

"Great."

no one is getting out this way Elathras moves forward to intercept the retreating goblins, attacking the one nearest the hallway

Guisarme

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 for damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 = 10

Irenicus casts force missile

Gruk casts fire ray at the center goblin

ray: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Dolgrin attacks the next goblin
silver boarding axe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Mittleid moves up and flurries the last goblin

Flurry:: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5
FlurryPS:: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Flurry:: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Katzor moves in with his warhammer

Warhammer: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

With the leader at 0 hp, another prone at 0 and the last at 2 HP they surrender to big people. XP=175 each

"Really?" Virgil sighs, rubbing his face in exasperation: "NOW you surrender? ...What do you suppose we do with them?"

The ranger looks to the group, curious. "Ask them where the rest of their traps are? Or if there are any more of them?"

there is no surrender with goblins, we are not at war, we are exterminating vermin Elathras looks at the team, realizing they are going to accept the vermin's surrender he responds "we interrogate them for information about their fellow gang members. Then we take them back to town for a fair trial and a fair hanging, the are outlaws and criminals not matter what their race. after his little tirade Elathras checks the two dead bodies for any valuables.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Kaz uses yet another of his healing bursts once the goblins were dealt with.
