Test Run

Game Master RaFon

Zebela's up. You can take a new action or keep the one from above. Your choice.

Zeb...still out there?

The sound of crickets can be heard throughout the land.

Hey.. I'm chomping at the bit to act... but I'll probably get attacked before I can shoot...considering I did the most damage.

Waiting to see if Zebela is still with us.

Sorry for the delay, been studying for a test I had this morning...yeah, I'm going to keep my previous action...sorry again.

No problem. :)

But a single heartbeat passes between Bringor's bolt entering the killer shrubery and Zebela's arrow following the same path. The creature shudders again, but this time it reacts. Suddenly, the plants and vines that cover the area begin to reach out and grab at the companions.

Everyone make a Reflex save please.
13 points of damage to the assassin vine so far.

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

reflex save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Fenn Reflex Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Still need Dervick's roll, but Jeseare is up.

Jeseare and Zebela are entagled

Entangled Condition Summary

Must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell (or lose the spell).

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I believe we've been noticed. Mr. Fenn, could you perhaps shoot it again, mayhaps in that large mass over yonder? Something tells me that parts important.
Backpedals at half speed, uses nobility domain power inspiring command on fenn

Bringor's up.

Bringor takes aim again from atop the box.

crossbow w/Point-Blank Shot: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7; damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

[dice=Reflex]1d20 + 1

It's also your action Dervick...

Apologies... missed that. I assume from my save that I am also entangled and will apply the -2 to attack.

Shortbow: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

When Everyone forms up...

Fenn calls out softly... "Ready. Aim. Release!"

Attack - Point-Blank w/Longbow, STR 12: 1d20 + 2 + 1 = 15
Damage - Point Blank w/Longbow, STR 12: 1d8 + 1 + 1 = 8

Continue with previous Action... but with Jeseare Mahan's Inspiring Command +2 hit bonus. For a total of 17 AC hit!

What does it take to become disentangled? Run far enough away? CMD check?

Sorry. Had a death in the family. I will be back at it Wednesday or Thursday.

My condolences. Take care of yourself first. This can all wait.

My prayers are with you and your family.

Thanks for the kind words.

Entangled creatures can attempt to break free as a move action, making a Strength or Escape Artist check. The DC for this check is equal to the DC of the spell.

Zebela is up.

Zabela attempts to free herself from the vine's grasp as she fires another arrow.

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

With a final shudder, the creature droops to the floor. After a few moments, the vines and plants that are holding the companions begin to wither...releasing them.

Assassin Vine...CR 3

160 xp each then? Or are we leveling up at particular points? I forget.

Nope CR3 5-ways.. is 200 xp

Fenn grins... "Nice shot Za-Bela!"
{Fenn is not being fiscious.. but his country drawl, make his pronunciation often times lax.. hence why I do not always spell names correctly when he addressess people. But he's working on being more accurate in his speach AS it will be required for his next level...which is wizard!}

Fenn puts his bow away and drawing his shortsword helps cut those companions still wrapped in its tendrils free.

Then Fenn carefulyl walks over to the plant creature looking to see if any other victims might have been caught in its tendrils and killed leaving some possessions and perhaps clues as to what is going on here.

All the while he keeps in view of the opening in the wall with the light shining from within.. in case that is some potential threat as well.

"Hey Brin' would you mind watching tha' opening in tha' wall with tha' light coming out o' it? Bela'.. could you please back Brin' up?"

Nodding to Dervick, "Vick' theah seems to be another room o'ver in tha' corner... watch tha't door while Ah an father Jese' search these here plant roots fur clues..."

"Father, you mind helping me search?"

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Bringor turns towards the wall and covers it with his crossbow.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Nocking another arrow, Dervick covers the door Fenn indicated.

Fenn and Jeseare find the partially digested corpses of two more goblins as well as the bodies of several monkeys, small lizards, and an incredibly long snake. The goblins had very little on them beyond a pair of short swords and six gold between them.

Fenn collects the 2x Shortswords and gold coins adding them to the party treasury.

Then nodding to Dervick as he covers the door... Fenn sneaks over to the door and listens at it.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

You hear nothing. We are talking about the room in the upper left corner?

Yep!

Yep...not sound. And since I know you'll check, it's locked.

Actually waiting for the others to post before I press on.

I'm still covering the wall until you tell me different. In character, I don't know that you found a locked door that needs a rogue :)

[opps! OK.. got ya.. will post!

Fenn hears nothing at the door, "Hey Brin, theahs a locked door heah. Could you check ta see if'n it locked? I'll try tha keys we took off tha Bugbear."

Turning to Dervick, "... hey fella.. switch ta help Bela..cover tha opening in tha wall..."

Bringor hops down from his perch on the box and ambles over to the door. He looks at it carefully to see if it is safe to open it.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 [+1 to notice traps]

If he determines that the door seems safe to open, he tries to open it. If it's locked, he tries to pick the lock.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Did those vines catch anyone else? Or more importantly did anyone catch any thorns? If no one needs attending to then I say we can continue.

[opps! OK.. got ya.. will post!

Fenn hears nothing at the door, "Hey Brin, theahs a locked door heah. Could you check ta see if'n it locked? I'll try tha keys we took off tha Bugbear."

Turning to Dervick, "... hey fella.. switch ta help Bela..cover tha opening in tha wall..."

Grrr... I meant check to see if its trapped...sheesh!

"I'm fine, Father, just trying to figure out this lock."

Bringor hears the familiar click as the lock's tumblers fall into place. The door opens easily to reveal a room filled floor to ceiling with shelves holding bottles of wine.

"Hey, Fenn, isn't this what we were in here for?"

Fenn steps over, "OH YEAH! Money! Nice work Brin'!!!"

Fenn looks around the wine cellar... "Hey just to make sure Brin.. check ta see if 'n there be any traps in here.. don't wan' ta get too anxious..."

Fenn then nods to Dervick, "Help Brin' when he says that wine cellar is clear, would ya Vick'? Tha bottle has a dwarven rune of a hammer and anvil on it."

Fenn walks over to the rift in the wall to see what is glowing so brightly...

Nodding to Zabela, "Cover meh, please missy..."

Fenn draws his longsword and approaches the rift in the wall carefully trying to determine the source of the glow...

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

"No sweat."

Perception to find traps: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Sorry for the delay, moving, tests, general lack of time...

Zabela had silently inspected the light in the opening in the wall with a Detect Magic. And, when asked, Zabela nodded to Fenn and notched an arrow with which to cover him.

In seems to me if this place in is intestacy or abandoned anything you find in there is rightful and proper to him who claims it....uh... so if you want to grab a nice looking one for the road...
Awkwardly coughs and finds a reason to devote himself to tying a strap on his armor

Lowering his bow, arrow still nocked, Dervick walks over to the door to the wine cellar, and takes a quick look around.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
