Dyrant will fire once at the armor, then leave the room to give others a chance to move about as needed.

Round 2, Init 23 {C, 23}
The foolhardy doctor continues to let primal anger course through him. His angry eye flashes as he reaches for the hammer. This time he actually does give the statue an opening...

He then tumbles back out of the room, opening space for Finneas.
That room is way too crowded.
Round 2, Init 11
Gnomish: "Stop attacking! We're friends!"
It worked before?
Glimmil swings his hooked hammer back at the hooked hammer wielding armor if it doesn't stop attacking him.
Round 2 init 15
Greatsword
Not enough room in this closet to swing a greatsword properly!
Don't everyone rush to kick the hammer away... Greatsword, meet tactics. Tactics, greatsword.. "Glimmil, perhaps its hammer is superior to your own!"
The crowded space ruins everyone's swings. Silfir misses. Glimmil misses. Cog can't get in. Toffitt grabs for the hammer and manages to take it away from the construct who misses with his AoO. Dyrant misses. Finneas misses. Atol misses.
AoO
- finneas
- Silfir
- Glimmil
- at Finneas
The construct reaches down and picks up the hammer. Finneas and Silfir take the opportunity to take big chunks out of it, but not all the damage goes through. Glimmil's strike does not penetrate. The construct then swings and crushes into the side of Finneas.
Forgot to mention it's your turn

Dyrant delays, waiting for any of the brutes to roll above a 10 on their attack roll and for the puppy to move out of the room.

Atol shrugs and casts Guidance on the good Doctor (who is, I believe, right in front of me now).
Round 2, Init 23 {G, 23 > E24}
Doctor Toffitt beats back the rage within himself and feels momentarily fatigued. He moves back into the room, into the space vacated by Finneas, drawing out his tanglefoot bag as he goes.

"Finneas, I will defer to your request. Shout if things go awry and I will return to this room to further chip at this motile carapace of gnomish ingenuity!"
As I go after Finneas, and I still have a move action, Atol will move out of the room after casting Guidance in round 3.
Round 3, Init 23 {E24 > G25}
Dr. Toffitt moves out of the room as well, saying, "Do any of you have a spare tanglefoot bag?" He holds out his hand in case someone puts something in it, and readies an action to return into the room if Finneas requests assistance.

Round 3, Init 11
Why does everything swing at me once then switch to Finneas? Don't the monsters like me?
When Glimmil hears Finneas request to back out of the room, he obliges, stepping back to Cog and leaping onto his canine companion and pulling him away from the battle.
Round 3, Init 22
Dyrant will move 10' back down the hall and reload his crossbow.

The construct clobbers Finneas as he tries to get away.

- @ Toffitt
- swing 1
- swing 2
- damage
- no confirm
The construct steps closer to Toffitt and swings the hooked hammer at his knees. The hammer misses, but the hook catches him--just missing the kneecap.

Round 3, Init 11 (Really)
Seeing Silfr and Toffit continue to attack and take hits from the construct, Glimmil gets agitated.
Hey! That's not fair, it's my job to get hit by the do-badder!
"Let's get back in there, Coggy!"
Gnome and riding dog charge back into the room in a terror.

"I guess my plan wasn't so good." *wheeze*
"Kord bring strength back to my ribs."
Finneas heals some of the damage caused by the armor then moves back into the room.
Glimmil is at 23-E. There's just enough room for you to enter the room. Or you can provoke and go to 23-D or 23-C where you left from last turn. I'll presume 23-F unless you advise otherwise.

Atol moves back to F 24 and gives the strength of St. Cuthbert to Dr. Toffitt. He still has the guidance as well I believe.
Interesting. Finneas pulled it away from the wall so we could get behind it and surround it with our best fighters. Brilliant!
Round 4, Init 19
Interesting. Finn's ploy to pull it away from the wall and flank it with our *best* fighters worked. Brilliant!
Dyrant moves to Finn in the doorway.
"Nice work," Dyrant says, "St. Cuthbert was also quite the strategist."
Dyrant will heal Finn.

Round 4, Init 23 {E24 > G25}
Dr. Toffitt takes advantage of flank to draw his rapier and lash out. He then steps back 5', hoping one of his companions rush in to fill the void. "Alas, Finneas, it appears to have a hammer to pick with me, before I leave."

Ouch! Glad my companions left its pick so it could break my knee...
Does not confirm.
It didn't matter this time since you still missed, but you need a straight line for the charge from the beginning of your turn. I read "directly" as straight. Either way, I think the rule clarifies it with, "If any line from your starting space to the ending space passes through a square that blocks movement, slows movement, or contains a creature (even an ally), you can't charge."
With room to work, Silfir strikes a mighty blow and Toffitt an accurate one. The armor collapses into a heap at their feet.
We're out of initiative. The armor is not salvageable as armor and nothing is seen inside the chest.
"That wasn't quite my plan but I'm glad it worked."
A shame about the armor. I can't wait to find something in my size.
"That is a fine new weapon for you Glimmil."
Dyrant will cast Detect Magic, scanning the room and the 'armor'.
Dyrant will cast Detect Magic, scanning the room and the 'armor'.
The armor does not detect as magic, but with the iron chest now open you detect moderate illusion magic from inside the chest.
On another note, the gnome hooked hammer is masterwork.
"The chest has illusion magics. Talk to it, maybe it has an invisible gnome inside." Dyrant nods and asks of Glim.
Glimmil picks up the hooked hammer and tosses it into the air, catching it and testing it's balance.
"Say, this is a nice hammer!"
He looks at Cog as if he expects the dog to comment.
"Previously I found the Bag of Tricks hidden invisibly in a chest."
Silfr will check for traps, then feel around inside the illusion area, using Detect Magic of his own casting to find where the illusion covers.
Perception
Atol moves about the cramped chamber looking for things, and realizes he's largely just in everyone's way and moves back out into the hallway. While he waits he goes through his pack so as to remember all the things he already has.
Smokesticks. Need to remember the smokesticks.
@Glimmil - You're opening (or at least unlocking) the chest is what triggered the encounter.
Silfr will check for traps, then feel around inside the illusion area, using Detect Magic of his own casting to find where the illusion covers.
Silfir places his hand in the chest and pulls it back as he feels searing pain. He finds only a cauterized stump where his hand used to be.
---Silfir feels around the inside of the chest and finds several items. None of them detect as magical. Dyrant looks over his shoulder and gives his estimates as to their value.
• 3 shrew statuettes carved from smoky quartz - 75 gp, 50 gp, 75gp
• A mother-of-pearl-inlaid board with matching wooden game pieces (gnome kings, queens, knights, and other figures) - 400 gp
• A tiny silk pouch containing 3 white pearls - 300 gp, 50 gp, 300 gp
Dyrant snuffs happily at the treasure that Silfr found.
"I believe we, excepting Glim, should get these spoils back to Ghelve's as a first priority. While we do that, Glim and Cog race through the streets to Skie's place to buy that fancy healing wand. Then, we return to go down the elevator and take back the children," Dyrant suggests pragmatically.
"Lets store this at Ghelve's and then find that elevation changing machine. His store is probably one of the safest places in the city, with all those locks."
With a daily trip to Skie's, she's going to start to think I have a crush on her... Oh wait.
Glimmil nods.
"I can do that. How much was it again?"
Glimmil gathers up the necessary coin to purchase the wand, packing the coins onto Cog and roughing his companion behind the ears.
"I'll be back soon!"
Maybe I should get that fancy spoon while I'm out running errands.
Dr. Toffitt nods his head in agreement with Dyrant, and reflects on the others' hesitation.
"I fear that we hurry to go slowly. Going below unprepared may only delay our efforts to save the children, if we must retreat too quickly.
Nevertheless, we should at least buy the wand that Dyrant suggested, and perhaps a select number of scrolls if Skie has them on hand. Scrolls to help us comprehend languages come to my mind first. Several of them, if possible. Scrolls to embiggen may also be helpful, though I would much prefer to brew potions to that end..."
"Very well, if an abundance of cautious preparedness is desired, I can hardly fault the sentiment, given how often I have made the same prescription. We should transmute the spoils of Jzadirune into funds to use for further out fitting our group."
If we goto Cauldron to clear inventory, once shares are cashed Silfr will go over to Pahlian Gurnezard's Smithy and ask after a masterwork greatsword.

He has one in stock for 350 gp. A custom one will be more expensive depending on the work you want done and will take at least a couple days.

6 Paintings - 2 worth 100 gp. (700 for all 7)
3 silver rings - 5 gp, 10 gp, 2 gp (5, 5, 5)
A tiny silver locket containing ashes - 5 gp (10)
2 plain gold rings - 40 gp each (40, 40)
A platinum bracelet engraved with the following words in Dwarven: 375 (375)
3 shrew statuettes carved from smoky quartz - 75 gp, 50 gp, 75gp (75, 75, 75)
A mother-of-pearl-inlaid board with matching wooden game pieces (gnome kings, queens, knights, and other figures) - 400 gp (400)
A tiny silk pouch containing 3 white pearls - 300 gp, 50 gp, 300 gp (50, 100, 50)
Total of 2005 gp. Tygot offers the usual 50%. for 1002.5. Tygot is very convincing in his arguments and assessments (diplomacy 26), but I'll allow an opposed diplomacy/bluff check to modify things somewhat. This also presumes fair negotiations. If someone really wants to start haggling, I can do that too. However, this can work against you. In this case, he estimated the paintings at 700 gp versus Dyrant's mere 200.
In any case, I still do need to know who will be going to Tygot's.
I'm guessing the party will keep:
Small full plate - Glimmil
Masterwork gnome hammer - Glimmil
A set of masterwork thieves’ tools - Glimmil
A potion of delay poison - Atol?
A wand of sleep (8 charges) - ???
