Ok, I am going to roll everyone else's init.
Barrett moves to C1 and attacks Beth with his Great Axe
Blister attacks Morgan/Tiki .
I presume that is a miss?
Sandman moved forward shaking his head. "No. You should stop."
Beth winces as the axe connects with her.
With rage, Beth scimitar punctures the immobile dwarf for , then she steps 5 foot to the side to D2, ignoring the steps difficult terrain.
[b]"You think you're so superior with that big axe. You killed my brother in Quell and you will pay. You don't even have a proper footwork and your left side is unprotected, that will be your doom."[/ooc]
Beth scimitar moves past the dangerous axe, trying to puncture Barrett.
, , then she steps back 5 feet upstairs to E1, ignoring the steps difficult terrain.
Yes, you will take a d6 damage from the fall from not making the DC 15, but what is worse you take an AOO from the half-orc you jumped through his threat zone!
[dice=Blister attack in B6]1d20 + 8 + 4; 1d6 (falling)
Nevermind, he rolled a 1 so you only took 5 from falling but are now prone Tiki.Tiki is in B5, Blister is in B6.
Just a couple questions:
* So did Blister not drop his weapon with that roll of a natural 1? I can't remember how you handle fumbles - didn't Barrett roll a 1 against Tiki in the Tavern in the first fight?
* Why is Tiki prone? It was Morgan who jumped/landed. After that Morgan Merged into Tiki.
Blister attacks Morgan/Tiki [dice=short sword]1d20 + 7 + 4; 1d6 + 2.
I presume that is a miss?
Phew. Yes, is miss.
Silas puts down his crossbow and draws his rapier moving from the valve to the trapdoor, down onto the stairs then jumps to the floor.
If Barrett is down then
If not then
Reviewing the actions taken thus far, moving to a position to take Blister into view. Jequette calls forth words in the spidery language of magic once more and pointing her long thin fingers at Blister cast and release three shimmering colored darts (magic missiles).
Let's start with Barrett's will save
Sorry Jequette, yes I missed you. You would need to move to the western wall.
@Morgan I know I don't quite understand this Tiki thing, but isn't he around your neck normally so if you are prone so is he? I am presuming the vats are steel same as the pipes. Wood would not hold up to acid long!
Barrett's Fort Save
Silas, that is difficult terrain moving under pipes and around vats, but you can make it in a double move.
Morgan and Obi are up. They are both in 1.
Actually, double checking it is a full round action to Merge:
As a full round action you can spend a point of mana to place yourself inside one of your tikimen, taking control of the construct as if under the effects of a magic jar spell. This transformation includes all of your gear. While merged in this way, you are protected from harm and cannot be the target of spells or effects. All effects and spells currently targeting you are suspended until you emerge from the tikiman (although durations continue to expire).
You can cast spells while inside the tikiman by taking control of the construct for the duration of the casting. Any material components used for these spells are taken from your gear, even though they are otherwise inaccessible. You can direct all of the tikiman's actions while merged, can perceive through its senses, and can speak through its voice.
You can remain within the tikiman for a number of rounds per day equal to your yohunga level. You can end this effect at any time as a swift action, emerging in a square adjacent to the tikiman if able. If the tikiman is destroyed while you are merged with it, you are immediately ejected, take 4d6 points of damage, and are stunned for one round.
* Basically, when Tiki is a necklace/amulet he hangs around Morgan's neck. When Morgan Merges, Tiki drops to the ground with Morgan inside him.
Last Round: Given that it was impossible for Morgan to Merge in the previous round, Morgan will stand from prone as his Standard Action rather than Merge.
This round: Morgan will either cast burning hands at Blister (DC 15, reflex for half)
OR
If this would hit Silas Morgan will instead draw and then overhand chop with his war-oar:
That would not hit Silas but standing up from prone provokes:
Obi casts Hydraulic Push on Blister .
Blister is wet, but not prone. Obi moves toward the trap door.
Blister attacks Tiki
Miss
Finding her way through the vats, Beth moves to E3 to stand shoulder to shoulder with Morgan and attacks Blister.
,
Silas realises people are not where he thought they were so moves back to F3. He flashes his blade to trip up Blister.
Waiting on Sandman and Morgan
Ok, NOW an overhand chop with Morgan's war-oar on the prone half-orc:
Fantastic.
Sandman shakes his head at the impressive violence meted out by his companions, and moves to support them.
"You should surrender, friend." the big man says with a concerned note in his voice.
I have a hard time seeing Blister surrendering so your readied action goes off, putting him down.
XP 666 each.
Morgan, Sandman and Silas make perception checks.
Behind the small worktables A DC 15 Perception check discovers the white gold and sapphire Ring of Quell jammed in the gaps of the walkway.
Morgan points the ring out to Beth.
Beth, I am so sorry…
He turns away, checking the bodies of Barrett and Blister for armor, valuables and weapons, casting detect magic on both of them.
Silas notices the ring, but leaves it for Beth to retrieve. He reaches into his pack to pull out the stuff he found in the barrel. Walking over to the table he puts down 600 gp, a fake eye made from a sapphire of exquisite quality, an emerald brooch, a silver and mother of pearl signet ring of the Church of Quell with the initials “A. N.” engraved on the inside of the band, three pearl necklaces, and a thick gold bracelet.
Barrett's axe and chain shirt detect as magic. Only 5 cb bolts detect on Blister.
Beth nods gravely, fight gone from her eyes. "Thanks every one, I did not really expect to find him alive. And with that acid here, there won't even be a body left. But it means a lot for me to have you help my Church and I will repay that help as best as I can."
Picking both rings, she says a quick blessing over them before calling softly to Quell. "Your faithful follower has been killed, his body defiled to prevent him from joining you. His murderer have been dealt with but I swear to you this is not the end. I will find who ordered it. Quell, father of storms, let the winds of vengeance carry me to those who have earned your retribution."
Turning towards her companions she says: "I don't think Barrett decided on his own to kill my brother in Quell and he may have been asked or paid to do it. I can't talk to the death yet but I can ask Zalen to do it if we keep the corpse intact I think. And that is something I can do if I ask Quell for it. I propose we keep the corpse here and dump the ugly half-orc into his own acid vat. Then If you live me a quarter of an hour, I can cast a spell to preserve the dwarf corpse until we can interrogate him. Then we'll have to rush to the governor meeting.
Beth will also cast detect magic on both rings and on Silas loot to see if any item is magical.
The second ring found is magical. You find something strange on the body of Barrett. You notice a ring shaped scar on his chest like that of a tentacle.
"This sounds like an excellent plan Beth. I don't mind waiting, we will likely have to rush to meet the Governor either way. If we keep Barrett's belongings we might consider keeping them hidden or changing their appearance somewhat to help disguise them - if there are those in league with Barrett at the Governor's audience they might recognize such items...."
Morgan strips Blister of all his mundane armor, clothes, boots (if any) and valuables and then asks Sandman to help him dump the half-orc in a vat to see what happens.
He then pokes around the room trying to find a portal to the Barnacle's cellar.
"Before you dump the body, can you check it for a scar like that.", says Beth pointing to the tentacle like ring scar on Barrett body. "That just reminds me of the organisation Archibald was looking into. The ring of the Kraken, they were called."
Everyone in the room make a Fort Save DC13.
