The Eye of Eons (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Grint's bolt ricochets off Father Burdock's shoulder, and goes upward instead. The duergar sergeant grins, aware of the human's intent.

Blue grows bigger, and he stares with hatred at his surface cousin.
Waraxe, FE, PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25Dmg: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (8, 7) + 4 = 19
His axe comes down hard on Father Burdock.

Ugh. Sorry GM. You can poke me with a PM if this happens again.

Will do, ma'am. :)

Sivar is stunned afaik?

For this round, yes.
Red & yellow have used their stun vials, no more in stock.

You mean the 75gp Fungal Stun Vial

Indeed, sir searchbot. :D

The duergar sergeant (-7) heads south, his blue subordinate busy with Father Burdock.
After he moves, he grabs for another flask.
-------------
Father Burdock hits himself for 8 damage.
Grint & Nelphys are stunned from the glowing vial.

Bolt, large penalty: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 172d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
The duergar dares hitting her highness.
--------------
Elsa, Tarrus

I was pining for the fjords

Elsa learned a new trick, and uses it. She creates a barrier of Ice in front of her to shield her from the crossbow wielding dwarf

Using Kinetic Barrier. I placed the barrier on the map

A polished frame of ice appears in front of Elsa, the protective window for her highness.

Tarrus is displeased with the tricks.
"The grey skinned ones are slavers, using dirty trick to capture others."
Tarrus moves from behind Father Burdock, up to the sergeant, and swings the confiscated axe at him.
AoO blue: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 172d8 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 = 10
Tarrus' confiscated axe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 251d10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Orland moves around green, to set up flank for Sivar.
Punch to duergar jaw, PA: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 121d6 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
His punch has power, but it falls short of a hit.

Blue strikes again at Father Burdock.
Waraxe, FE: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27Dmg: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 8) + 4 = 16
The hit comes down hard on the stout dwarf.

Green makes another swing at Sivar.
Waraxe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Sivar on the other hand, makes an evading step, and the sentry hits but air.

Fauchard+PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 181d10 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Sivar lands a decent blow upon the duergar, withdrawing a bloodied fauchard from the evil dwarf's shoulder.

Burdock steps back and turns spell energy into healing.

CSW @ Self: 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6) + 6 = 16
Dropping Dispel Magic for this

Father Burdock applies some much needed medical attention to himself, and Torag provides.
--------------
Duergar rangers
Red (-11) steps south, and takes a shot at Orland.
Bolt: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 251d8 ⇒ 2, landing one in the rear, which Orland plucks out.

Yellow (-14) does the same.
Bolt, size penalty: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 122d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7
But yellow, despite having a better view, has a poorer aim, and misses.
---------------
Elsa, Tarrus

Elsa hurls Ice at Green (Gather Power and Blast)

Eat it!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Damage!: 3d6 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4, 2) + 2 + 4 = 14*1.5=21 Damage

As Elsa gathers power, it becomes somewhat noisy.
I forgot that aspect of gather power ever since you changed class.

The empowered ice flies at-, and impacts green so hard that he flies 3 feet further. Green down.

From near Elsa:

Tarrus steps 5 feet east, to give the others better los on blue, and strikes at the sergeant.

Axe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 261d1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
It's not much, but he hits.
=================
The camp, round 5

Orland heads over for yellow.
Kick: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 121d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

-------------
Blue swings at Tarrus.
Axe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 242d8 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8
And Tarrus takes a hit for a change.

Sivar moves 20 to position himself to attack yellow then he joins Orland in his attack.

Fauchard+Pa: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 281d10 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Fauchard+Pa Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 131d10 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Perfect. =)

;)

Sivar's attack comes in hard enough, and yellow's eyes grow heavy.
Orland has to take a quick step aside, when the duergar falls over.
-----------
Duergar sergeant (-14) steps into flank with blue, against Tarrus, who has to watch both sides now.

Uhm, GM, you're forgetting me and Burdock.

Grint steps up and fires a bolt at the sergeant.
Single attack, PBS, Deadly Aim, Moved: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 231d8 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 10

Grint's bolt puts down the sergeant, as it flies in a soft spot.

Elsa hurls Ice at Red (Gather Power and Blast)

Eat it!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Damage!: 3d6 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3, 5) + 2 + 4 = 20*1.5=30 Damage

Burst of Radiance at large blue.

Damage: 5d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 4, 2) = 15

Must make a DC 15 Reflex save or is blinded

blind duration in rounds: 1d4 ⇒ 4

-Posted with Wayfinder

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
The large sentry blinks just in time to avoid being blinded, but the divine energy deals some hurt to him.

Nelphys moves south.
X-bow vs blue: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 161d8 ⇒ 5
The duergar deflects the incoming bolt with his shield.

Elsa blasts red away in a most brutal fashion.

Tarrus steps east.
Axe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 131d10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Unfortunately for him, it's a miss.
======================
The Camp, round 6

Orland
------------
Blue (-15)
------------
Sivar
Father Burdock & Grint, Nelphys
Elsa, Tarrus

Orland dances up to Blue and swings for the fences, right towards the gut (or lower). Though his entry isnt careful {provokes}

Also he rages

Powerful Nad Strike: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 231d6 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Final aoo?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 102d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 6) + 4 = 15

Fighting with Tarrus proves sufficient distraction for the duergar to miss Orland by a long shot, and he pays for it, as the strike is enough to take him down.

Combat over.

Orland stretches his arms in what seems like a routine exercise as he looks over the results.

" Well tha' looks like a fine job done. Ain't there more a' them? Some a' you look pretty hurt tho' "

Motioning to one of the mongrelfolk and Burdock especially

Tarrus: "Yes, to both comments.
Yet we've faced large cave beasts before that were tougher, so i can count myself fortunate."

Nelphys: "The grey skinned ones are defeated, but they part of larger group here. Recovery and quick leave is useful, if we want to move without more grey skinned ones finding us."

Okay, the duergar've been stripped of their stuff.
Healing time?

Sivar sighs and works his jaw around after the mystical curse is lifted.

"Healing time.. "

Clw on me: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Cmw on Burdock: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 6 = 12

Cmw on Burdock: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (2, 8) + 6 = 16

With this group of duergar dealt with, no others stand on proper positions to see the team move near the camp's perimeter.

2 paths lie ahead of you....which will the team take?

At this point, the left one leads to the quarry.
The right one leads to another mine.

I vote Quarry

Quarry time.. woo!

I'll tag along to the quarry.

Okay then. :)

The team takes the left tunnel, making them scarce before any alarm about the five missing duergar is struck.

The tunnel takes a small while, but not for too long.
A few times you have to duck away to avoid a mine wagon with its escorts from seeing you. Yet as they had returned, you merely had to follow them.

In the distance, a few torches stand burning in what looks to be a small office of sorts.

A duergar sits at a desk, talking with another.

Perception Nelphys: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Perception Tarrus: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Nelphys:"Grey skinned ones speak slaves, many slaves.
..speak of gems, i think, more people to find more gems."

Her antennas turn upright, as her black eyes narrow in paying attention.
"Grey skinned ones speak of warriors, they must be speaking of friends."

Tarrus:"Their talk, one is asking for more men down there.
I think he thinks they will cause trouble, if given chance."
--------------------
The duergar in armor leaves, and heads east, leaving just a duergar with spectacles and in some dark hide sitting hunched over a desk.

With the biggest potential for damage output, for this opportunity:
Elsa & Grint, would you do the honors?
Doing an empowered right now might be unwise, as gather power is accompanied by sound.

Damage output is null and void in this case, max damage would be 13. I'll leave it to Elsa. Also when we get back I want darkvision glasses or spectacles ^^

Those are expensive as all hell. But I think the GM is basically saying you guys have the ranged while the rest dont really. Best Orland can do is learn Deadly aim, pick up a crossbow and fire with you.

What i'm hinting at is they can take their shot at taking him down without you guys risking any sort of alarm.
But yeah, Orland can do that as well.

Grint readies a bolt to fire at the dwarf right after Elsa blasts him, moving slightly to get a better aim.

Readied shot: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 2 + 1 = 191d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7

6k to make a pair of darksight goggles.. I think

Elsa isn't the "blast someone in the back" type...shes more the "Announce your presence and demand they surrender imperiously" type.

Fair enough.

As Elsa decides she's not going to sneak shoot the evil dwarf, Nelphys calmly takes aim.
[smaller]"Crossbow-man, on count of three.
One....two....three."

Shot Nelphys: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19Dmg, SA: 1d8 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + (4, 5) = 17

With Grint's shot flying first, her bolt deals the decisive blow to the duergar.
Nelphys: "We move now, yes? Grey skinned one not alert others now."
-----------Upon approach---------

Three trunks stand at the wall.
2 are empty, but the third is locked, Nelphys easily opens it though.

They seem to be written in a dialect of undercommon, which the two mongrel-kin are unfamiliar with.

Elsa manages to conclude something about it being dwarven, since she's got trained linguistics, when she spends a minute or two going over it.
Father Burdock recognizes this as a mix of dwarven and undercommon.
------------------------

If there's any preps to be done. Now would be the time.
Cautiously continuing down the path, the sound of picks on hard material becomes clearer.
As you get further around the corner, a wide view of a mineral quarry at least 90 feet by 80 feet is before you.

Many slaves stand on 20 feet high scaffoldings and ground floor, hacking away.
Duergar guards are spread around, keeping watchful eyes upon the slaves of various races. You recognize morlocks, vegepygmy, mongrelmen, and some derro.
[spoiler=Kn. Local (Duergar) 15]
Aside from being slavers, duergar that fail expectations, can be sentenced to work forced labor. That is considered moderate, as death sentences are no rarity to their people.

One particularly nasty looking duergar is to the far east.
He's shouting yet unknown words at a prone slave, cracking a whip as he does. Nearby slaves try to look away, but are forced to watch. The slave stubbornly tries to rise, but gets whipped again.

As you observe, you notice the guards seem to periodically head for a large table, on which you can make out at least two pitchers.

A prison with a group of 3 mongrel-kin, is north of the table.
Marked blue.

What'll it be guys? :)

Insurrection? Free all the slaves and watch the chaos ensue?
