Hon present and accounted for. He is have serious recriminations about the one who got away.

I believe so.

I think now would be a good time to make a tactical retreat. Withdraw to the surface, heal our wounds and see if we can't revive Kragg and attempt finding another entrance or trying to assault this one.

We should also loot the cleric, and perhaps the fighter.

As for the still living healer, do we be merciful knowing that we'll likely just have to fight him again, as well as the fighter if the healer successfully heals him?

Or do we make sure they're both down for the count right now?


We need to regroup, and we need information on the duergar, the dwarves, and the layout. We need a captive. The fighter is our best option right now. Let's loot the cleric and hijack the fighter.

Okay, Do we want the one providing first aid?

I am still here. I had made assumptions concerning Hon's location as well. Not complaining, nature of the PBP. Retcon can work both ways. Sometimes we eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats us. I say play on. More combat, throw Kragg at'em. I am sure he would appreciate getting one last hit. ;-)


Recap of how you got here. By the way, I turned the map a little, so I will clarify.

Coming down the airshaft you had two choices- east away from mt and stream, west under mtn and stream.
You went west.
After traveling a while you came upon two four way intersections separated by about 50 feet, going RIGHT (south) at the SECOND one. You came upon a four-way with stairs and followed tracks down to the door.

I thought you wanted to go north to the first intersection so you could go straight east under the stream and out the airshaft.

Any other way leads to areas unexplored.

Liulfr:

That was the plan as far as I know.

Ok cool, thanks DM, that helps a lot. But maybe even one of those crude, hand-drawn old school maps would help a lot too?


Being old school - the party typically had a caller/leader, a mapper, and someone who logged treasure. The players actually made their own map as the DM didn't always reveal everything exactly. Parties moved at a slower rate than normal to reflect mapping the entire passageways, doors, and rooms.

Making the adaption from tabletop to PbP I have abbreviated the encounters somewhat to speed things along. That makes my original maps useless as the exploration of these huge mines might have taken a 10 hour Saturday marathon session which would equal 10 months of PbP time. So, if someone wants to map, feel free to draw a crude one, but the recap I made should suffice for now. You went west, straight, right, down, fought, up and are retracing your footsteps back.


Things are going in cycles. Now the elves are posting like mad while the dwarf thread is quiet.

Oh don't worry. Joan's about to take care of the quiet part.

YEAY! Kragg is an intelligent undead. Are you hungry for brains or somthing? I recommend a lightly braised gnome...


Gnome Fey-Blood Sorcerer/4 | AC 15/15/13 [19/15/17 with MA] +4 vs Giant type; HP 26/26; F/R/W 3/4/6 +2vs illushns; Prcp +4; Init +6;

Oh for sure, definitely more tasty than a crusty, slightly pickled rogue!

...Plus, goes without saying, Waaaaay more brains for a hungry zombie to munch on.

Pff, Why go for the Gnome who thinks he's a Dwarf. He's brain's obviously gone bad. :P

Hey! You got something against Dwarf's lady??!!
Kib's delusion is an Improvement! Why, any zombie should be Honoured to eat his brains!!

Wait, Web is considered an attack??

Will post an update tomorrow. Maybe people are busy on the weekend or returning from Gencon.

GenCon [/sigh] Could not attend. Would've liked to.

No GenCon for me either, too broke and too much in college. (Only 3 more classes, I'm almost out!)

Ah. Thanks Chainmail.


Didn't think Hon wanted on the front lines.


Looks like we are slowing down. Must be the weekend.

Kragg has a great excuse for not posting. Maybe fighting duergar is too boring?

Sorry, I was in a face to face game today and just got home. I'll tell you about what happens when one of your party members doesn't think about the consequences of poking things with sticks after I post.


Had some carporal tunnel surgery. Will have a left hand post up soon.

Oh, I almost forgot about that.

Okay there's a statue in a room with a belt of giant's strength +2 on it. So my character, a level 3 sorceress, and the level 6 or 7 cleric are looking at it trying to figure out how to get it off without setting off a trap. Keep in mind we have no rogue because I lost my level 6 rogue's sheet. So as we find out what the belt is and as we are thinking of a way to get it off, the witch takes a stick and pokes an iron mask on statue. The GM takes 5 d8s and rolls damage, no save. For perspective, I am playing a character with 3d6 HD and CON 8. I have 11 HP because this is PFS and you don't roll for HP. The GM rolls low I'm in the negatives, he rolls average, I'm dead. He rolls 23 points of damage. At that point I throw up my hands and say, "Welp, I'm toast."

First time I've had one of my Whitescale characters bit it. So long Stjarna, you will be missed.

I also have a story about how the witch, before gravewalkers were banned and the guy who toasted my character had to redo it, terrified my character which was the party fighter. That's a fun one. :)

Whew. Just got back from the renaissance faire- just before midnight, here.
Been there alllllllll weekend.
Looking forward to some more sword-and-sorcery shenanigans deep in the mines!


Gnome Fey-Blood Sorcerer/4 | AC 15/15/13 [19/15/17 with MA] +4 vs Giant type; HP 26/26; F/R/W 3/4/6 +2vs illushns; Prcp +4; Init +6;

It seems as if some of our dwwarven kin have forgotten we're fighting EVIL Druegar? Ahem.

And let's just hope Khazad never runs up against any Dark Dwarf Monks! ; - )

(You silly Lawful Goodnicks! )


From the historical posts:
Kragg sees the dwarf fall on the grease, and uses the confusion to try a heroic disarm.
AoO:
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 Opposed CMB 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Kragg rips the greataxe out of the surprised dwarves hands.

While we're on the topic of house rules and such, and since Kib will be using this awesome spell soon, was just wondering what the house rules are on Summoning. For by RAW it says "...It attacks your opponents to the best of its ability. If you can communicate with the creature, you can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions..."

So I'm just wondering how the barb is communicating so easily, in common, with the elemental? Or is it a Druegar thing that wouldn't apply to Kib?

I'll be away for the weekend, don't know if I'll have net access, so if there's the need to DMPC my PC, please do. See ya!


Gallak is right, Sense skills give exact location, but concealment still applies.


North hallway is still in darkness. Kib is now running in darkness.


Forgot you only had a move. The perception DC to see him should be influenced by the 145' between you two (+14 DC) and the fact that he's in combat and not exactly hiding (base DC 0) and impacted by unfavorable conditions of intervening creatures and you not really LOOKING for a cleric there, I'd say roll for it.

Then again, I'm not the GM, I just like figuring game mechanics.

My calculated DC is 0+14+2=16 to see the Cleric, who is actually not standing in the magical Darkness, but is probably unlit all the same.

Edit: Ninja'd.

Ah yes, was forgetting that even the areas without magical darkness are still normally dark. : P

Also, how much further does Kib have to go before he's outside?


@Gallak: not necessarily.

Is it just me, or have these dice been hating us this battle?


Goblin Gunslinger "Ziggs"

Alright just got to say, this is looking really interesting! From the sounds of it, you are playing online, how are you managing that?
I would love to get in on the action (never cared for elves... and the stonelord is one of my favorite non-greenskin classes), can a gobo disguised as a dwarf get in? Or is his scraggly beard to much of a giveaway? Also, would love to just read how the battles going, I think it would be a really interesting read!
