The Disappeared Table 1 (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

"Let's make our way through the ventilation system. IF nothing else, it might give us a quick way out." says Thorleif as he begins crawling into the vent.

Looking dubious, Kenri none-the-less shrugs and follows his ally.
" Like chasing a rabbit down his hole..."

"Agreed." He climbs into the duct as well.

You crawl through the ventilation system and at the first junction you see a lion to the right and a banner to the left.

Which direction do you take?

"Let's go with lion." says Thorleif as he continues crawling.

Harlynne follows the group.

You turn right at the junction and crawl for a few more yards before you reach another junction: scales to the right and a blank wall to the left.

"Hmmm... Scales?"

"Scales sounds good to me."

You turn right again and get to another juction: a spear to the left and a crown to the right.

"King...Crown?"
Kenri half states, half asks as he bumps into Thor.
" That way maybe?"

You take the tunnel at the crown and after a few more yards it ends in front of another vent. At the wall next to it a centaur points at the vent with it's arrow.

"Hmm, I think I'm starting to see a pattern here as well." says Thorleif with a curious smile. "Let's pop this vent off and see where we are."

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Kenri pauses to examine the centaur, before following Thor through the vent...
And promptly bumps his nose on the wall, bringing tears to his eyes.
Somewhat blind he ducks his head and follows Thorleif...

Opening the vent without making too much noise needs a DC 15 Disable Device check followed by a DC 15 Dexterity Check to avoid the vent falling down to the floor.

He puts a hand on Thorleif. "Wait... You should probably let me do that." Positioning himself in front of the grate, he attempts to loosen the grate as quietly as he can.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
Dex check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Calchas is able to open the vent, but it clanks on the floor. At the wall under the vent is a cabinet, it's easy to climb down.

Thorleif peers out into the room, getting a feeling for his surroundings before dropping right in.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

This room is large and square. The walls glow with a gentle blue light, and the air feels unnaturally cold and dry. Shelves line the walls and stand in ranks through the middle of the room, punctuated by a wooden table and omate chairs. An imposing unoccupied desc faces the main entrance to the room. On an easel in one of the aisles is a map of the room.

"This definitely seems worth checking out." whispers Thorleif as he crawls out of the ventilation system and into the room. "Anyone else coming?"

Harlynne will follow Thorleif.

Kenri will enter and start searching the desk.
perception: 1d20 ⇒ 11
" Crap. I dunno what I'm lookin' for."
He whispers in frustration as he attempt to find...anything.

Kenri does not find something at the desk. It is empty.

I swear that I posted on Friday, but I guess I backed out before it registered. Oh well.
"Quick, spread out and search the room. I fear that time isn't on our side." says Thorleif as he moved to inspect the map, hoping it will give him some clue as to where to look.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Please tell me which cabinet you want to search with the perception roll

The map gives a description of the room, but does not give a clue where to search.

The map is linked above

Disappointed with himself that he let the grate fall noisily to the ground, he climbs out of the tunnel and starts searching the cabinets along the nearest wall.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Thorleif will take a stab in the dark and start rummaging through Internal Securtiy Reciepts.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Disappointed in the desk, Kenri will search one of the cabinets.
The one marked Imperial security-dossiers. which he is standing by now.
perception: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Calchas and Kenri do not find anything useful in the cabinets, but Thorleif finds a sheet of paper, 'Prisoner Receipt', with Zarta's name on it.

Just in the moment Thorleif takes out the sheet from the cabinet a chair starts to move by itself.

Round 1
Kenri
Chair
Thorleif
Harlynne
Calchas

Harlynne will fire her crossbow at the chair
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d8 ⇒ 8

" Huh? A ghost?"
Kenri starts, and charging his sword swings at the ambulant chair.
attack with C I sword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Swift action charge sword, move to chair, attack.
Or attempts to stab the ghost manipulating the chair at any rate.

Kenri has the fastest reaction and swings at chair, but hits the table instead. Animated Object, no ghosts ;)

The chair slams his chair arms at 1 Kenri, 2 Thorleif: 1d2 ⇒ 2 Thorleif, trying to grapple him, but is not successfull.
Slam: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Harlynne shoots a bolt at the chair, but the bolt goes wide and hits a cabinet.

Round 1
Kenri
Chair
Thorleif
Harlynne
Calchas

Hearing the sounds of battle and the strange sound of metal-on-wood, he dashes around the corner, drawing his long blade. He sees a strange sight: his companions fighting what appears to be a moving chair, which is launching itself at them. Without asking any further questions, he darts forward and slashes at it.

Elven curve blade slash: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 = 17 (now flanking)
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Sneak attack damage (if applicable, but I doubt it): 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

Thorleif will take a 5-ft. step back (sorry Calchas) and fire an arrow into the chair.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Calchas hits the chair with his blade, but wood is hard and Calchas chips away only a small piece of the chair. Thorleif steps back and shoots an arrow. The arrow chips away a bigger piece, but still not much. Hardness 5

Realizing that his best bet is to use his sword and not risk cracking his beak, he slices downward again.

Elven curve blade slash: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Sweet, max damage!

"Ahh. Not a ghost. Just magic."
Kenri realizes,and swings at the chair this time.
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Kenri hits the chair on a leg, you can see a crack appearing on the surface. The chair slams his arms at 1 Calchas, 2 Kenri, 3 Thorleif: 1d3 ⇒ 3 Thorleif, but misses again.
Slam Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Calchas swings his blade at the chair and creates more cracks in the chair's surface.

damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Is it critable?

I think it is, oozes are not.

Kenri hits the chair on a leg and it stumbles. The chair tries to hit 1 Calchas, 2 Kenri: 1d2 ⇒ 1 with it's arms again, but misses.

threat confirm: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 2 = 23
crit damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
" Hah!" Hisses Kenri as he twists his sword causing the wood to crack a little more....

Kenri's hit causes the chair to loose a leg. It stumbles but is still up. Calchas's blade cuts out more wooden pieces of the chair, but Thorleif's arrow hits the table again.
