Rise of the Runelords - GM Pablo (Inactive)

Game Master Stetrix

Ababa moves in and swings her bastard sword at Hucker and sends his evil soul into the abyss.

Out of combat!

-Posted with Wayfinder

Searching the room and Hucker you find +1 hide shirt, +1 ogre hook, amulet of natural armor +1 and a collection of severed noses in wax-sealed tin. There is nothing else of value in here. Mostly broken items and junk.

Cela uses Roland's wand to heal him up.
Wand CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Wand CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Wand CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Wand CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Wand CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Roland is at Full Hitpoints
Fahari -1

Finding no traps, you move through the double doors and find another set of double doors.

Also one mistake the Amulet of Health +2 was a Belt of Constitution +2. Anaba can only wear the Constitution Belt or Strength Belt. Who has which ones? - You can only use if you don't already have a belt. See Treasure Sheet

Buffs are aburnin'!

Can you have a look at the stonework in this hallway, Cela? I have a bad feeling about it.

Looks good to her

By the luck of Cayden! Let's enter then, and clean this place out! I feel a real impulse to torch this place!

I was thinking after we cleared this place out we'd split into three groups. One to tend to the rangers, one to watch for approaching threats, and one to search floor to ceiling for exciting loot and clues.

Hopefully this place doesn't have a subbasement. Or a secret crypt. I've pulled so much magic out of my head that my skull hurts.

Who want to open and enter?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Which way do they open? In or out? Can we enter side by side? Should we throw in a sunrod and let Rolande take his shots over our shoulders? Has it been three minutes on the bull's strength?

Your shield is active, but bulls strength out.
The doors open into the next room

-Posted with Wayfinder

Bull's strength from wand on Anaba and Buchart. Do we want to have prepared actions since we have the space at the doors? Who's opening? This time I'll have wand o' shocking grasp and sword in hand.

Prepared action to fire weapons as soon as the door is open as Buchart suggested.

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 241d10 + 17 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 17 + (3) = 21

Who is opening?

Who is opening?

It would be best if someone other than a tank or cannon open. Economy of move actions. If one of we tanks opens we will lose a move action or an attack.

Doesn't Bucky have the wand that opens doors?

Fernleaf will open the doors.
This damp, steamy room reeks of rotting vegetable matter. Pools of mud and stagnant water dot the mossy floor and the walls are caked with thick swaths of puffy fungus and mold. In the center of the room. there is the trunk of a large plant growing from the muck close to touching the ceiling covered with leaves, vines and mushrooms. Nothing is moving in here.

There is a door on the north wall.

Doesn't Bucky have the wand that opens doors?

That's the point. If I use a wand to open the door I'll lose an attack. The wand is best when we aren't sure about traps. Seems we lucked out that there wasn't a room full of ogrekin or worse. But this could be worse!

Making a knowledge dungeoneering check

What the...?

Knowledge: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Looks like a damp, mucked up room with vegetation and a door. Nothing more.

Fernleaf looks for traps
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 and sees nothing.

Also want to make sure Sekkimm Leveled up to 6th Level! Gratz!

Detect magic anyone?

Detecting magic as a cantrip.

Cela, do you know anything about this plant? Odd it being down here without light!

Does seem like an odd place for a plant. I will pull scarf over mouth and nose. I got a bad feeling about it.

Buchart detects no magic. Kn nature Cela: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Cela recognizes the plant a s a Tendriculos. It has vines which grab and paralyze.

How long of a reach does this thing have, do you think? Shall we commence an onslaught of missile weapons?

Possibly 15' depending on the size of the plant (much of it is down in the muck right now).

Cela and Fernleaf back away

Cela summons Nature's Ally - Giant Crab

Backing away to make room for the giant crab!

Go get 'em, crabby!

Cela releases her crab into the room and the Tendriculos springs to life surprising the crab.

Tentacle #1 +Grab + Paralysis: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 261d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 hits Crit threat

Cela, since you are educated about this creature, what is the best plan of attack? Should I rush in and fight the beast, or hold back?

I haven't used this spell yet, let's try it! From the hallway. as soon as I can see it...

Scorching Ray: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 174d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 4) = 9

Buchart blasts it from range for 9 (You have to 5' step next to Anaba for line of sight.) The plant lets out an eerie squeal.

"Anaba plants don't like slashing weapons. Your bastard sword will work fine. Be careful if you charge in for AOO it has 15' reach! The good news is the crab is taking away one attack."

You see it's maw open wide as it pulls the crab into swallow it whole.

Fahari -1
Tendriculos -9
Crab -9

What do you guys think of webbing it and everything north of its southern edge? It might buy us a round mid-fight.

Anaba saves, but her sword does not penetrate the creatures bark.

I bet his bark is NOT worse than his bite!

Well, we know fire and bullets work on this beastie!

Should you guys delay and let me fire away on this plant?

If so....
Pistol one-handed: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 51d8 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

I will approach the plant. As a swift action I will spend two points from my arcane pool to enhance my weapon +2 and give it the keen weapon property. I will then spend another to pool strike it with fire energy two handed.

Longsword: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 251d8 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
