I was too busy having an existential crisis in the corner to hear anything....

I was too busy having an existential crisis in the corner to hear anything....

lol...I noticed...and...nice. :)

Jun gets ready for whatever may be revealed once the door is opened. I will open the door and keep out of the way if others are ready

I'll go on the assumption that people are ready...

Though only 15 feet across, this is the largest room here so far...dim light shows it only goes a little to the right, but on the left are...cages? cells?

A murmur spreads through the room, from the mouths of the little horrors held there.

...they aren't recognizable, being small, but with parts that aren't sized right for their tiny bodies...like a man's arms...the smell is coming from in here, and suddenly, you find yourselves almost grateful for it, as they have no concept of hygiene...none, whatsoever.

Much of the light filters from farther left, but the cages mostly block your sight.

Tisa looks at the creatures. "So thats the smell... I've gotten used to it by now..."

Antonio steps into the room, crossbow ready and with torch upraised in his left hand. A disbelieving look on his face.
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

A woman's voice comes from beyond the cages...
You survived...that great beast...Lunk? Everything is ruined! So be it...you'll never survive...this!

There is a...*click*...and suddenly, the cages swing open...

Initiative.

Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Initiave: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Cauis Initiative 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

They're quickly realizing their cages are open...

...still...most of you are quick to act...actions?

Round 1____________

"Holy..."
Tony reacts by shooting the one nearest to him.
light crossbow attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 for a possible 1d8 ⇒ 7 piercing damage.

Then he drops crossbow and draws his sword.

"The one who locked you in those cages.. who did those things to you... is back there." Cauis' voice booms as he points to where the voice came from. Full round defense.

Reiko holds his initiative

Apologies, I was away from my map...I'll actually have the map up today...the voice came from the right.

Aya enters the room (C25) and casts a Ray of Frost at the closest creature.
Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Cold damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Sorry guys, crazy life stuffs be happening.

Reiko is holding until he sees who the little creatures are going to attack. If they attack the group, he'll take his attack then, but if they attack the person Caius pointed out, then he'll follow behind them and assess that situation.

Ok...they swarm out of their cages, swinging on the bars and clambering on the metalwork to attack...the first three make it into melee and try biting at the exposed members of the party...

Attack Aya: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Attack Antonio: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Attack Cauis: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Only Cauis gets hit...for Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Hit

Cauis's AC is 21 on full defense, so that was a miss, actually.

Tisa looks and points at the nearest one. "FLEE!" Casting Command DC 16

Cauis's AC is 21 on full defense, so that was a miss, actually. [/QUOTE

Ok, excellent. :)

Revise to...'Cauis nimbly avoids the little monster'. ;)]

Save: 1d20 ⇒ 13

It runs, babbling incoherently.

Reiko continues holding his action, waiting to see how strong these creatures are so he knows how powerful of a spell to use.

"Wrong choice, bud. Sorry, hopefully your suffering will be over soon." Cauis says, slashing at the beastie that attacked him, using his axe.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

confirmation 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 for extra 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 1) + 8 = 12

...and Cauis neatly hacks his attacker into two grisly parts.

Reiko takes a two handed swing at one of the creatures, deftly spinning in place and gracefully arcing his blade across.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

As the only one left in melee is the one in front of Aya...and it was damaged already..
it collapses with an obscene gurgle.

Jun limps over looking at one of the creatures, "Well that was disturbing. Let's find the woman who opened the cages before she does anything else."

She is standing in the doorway at the other side of this room.

She is, indeed...and, seeing the second little monster fall, with you all uninjured, she pulls another lever and turns to run.

Meddlers! Deal with THIS!

A large section (10') of the wall...next to Aya drops away ...revealing a pit...and a grotesque blob of anxious, hungry flesh...without form...but apparently motivated...

Just in case...the wall that drops slides straight into the floor...it is across from the door...from the corner. It exposes a room ten feet wide, five feet lower...this mass of quivering flesh fills most of that area and still comes to Aya's waist ...it is LARGE...

Round 2____________

Tony charges across the room towards the woman.
duelling sword attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 for a possible 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 piercing damage.

[Ooc]Sorry, it's not possible to charge at her. She can't even be seen at this point.[/ooc.]

More clarification...she disappeared from view in k24. The new area is c and d 26 and beyond. One little beast ran to k25...the other live ones are in e and f25.

Is the blob of flesh moving to attack?

Yes...I just keep forgetting to do initiative for it. :p

Initiative: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (4) - 3 = 1

Aya takes a 5 ft back to 24 and casts a Ray of Frost at creature in e25:
Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 Frost damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

square c24

Is there a map link somewhere I missed? If it is possible to do my below action with getting a party member in it I will, if it is not I will save it and attack it with my mace instead

Jun turns to the pile of flesh and says, "This is one of the things I learned I can do."

Jun says some words and suddenly a burst of flames ignites out of his fingers and into the mound of flesh

burning hands: 1d4 ⇒ 3 Reflex DC 15

The map links are all in discussion.

I'm thinking either Aya or Reiko might be in the way...Aya stepped into c24 you could take c25, and be in melee.

I'll step there and do the attack with mace then

If one of the little creatures is still attacking, Tony will switch to attack it then.

Tisa looks anxiously around. Full defense.
