The Eye of Eons (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

"Let us make our way to the mine, with this thing at our side, we may be able to launch an attack that them blasted duergar will never expect!"

Make Whole repairs: 5d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 3, 4) = 15
Make Whole repairs: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 6, 6) = 19
Make Whole repairs: 5d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 5, 4) = 20
Make Whole repairs: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 6, 5, 4) = 20

You may want to do some additional healing.
Father Burdock, you've repaired it after your 2nd spell.

With the new toy walking up front, the team ventures into the adjacent tunnel, towards the other mine.

As you enter, you notice a fork in the road.
Both to your left and right are areas lit with torches, the occassional sound of picks hitting material comes from both.

Ahead (south on map), the hallway runs deeper, descending.

Sivar will cast cure serious on Orland

CSW: 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 7, 3) + 6 = 19

and again when he sees that his injuries are much more serious than first thought.. that should have you fixed up..

CSW: 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 5, 4) + 6 = 23

"Now your worship, seems your not 100 percent either"

Sivar casts cure light on Elsa

CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Team heads: 1d3 ⇒ 1, east.

Most likely leaving the construct as a sentry, the team heads to their left.

A trio of prisoners are mining gems. They don't seem to notice you.
A duo of duergar are quickly dispatched.

In the middle of the room stands a box, half full with rough gems.

The opposite direction, however, seems to have a few more enemies present. A trio of duergar and a pet bombardier beetle.
The heavy footsteps of the construct leave little room for stealth.

Botting.

Orland heads for the blue guard.
Punch!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
His punch comes close, but not close enough.
--------------
Duergar guards.

Blue swings his axe at Orland.
Axe, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 1 = 24Dmg: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10
The evil dwarf's strike hits, but Orland's thick skin reduces the impact slightly.

Green moves into flank.
Axe, flank, PA: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 - 1 = 26Dmg: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10
Ouch, that one hits as well.

Bolt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8, his bolt flies way too high, and hits the wall behind Orland.
---------------
Grint
---------------
Beetle
---------------
Elsa, Father Burdock & Sivar

Grint moves up and fires at green.

Attack, Single shot, PBS, Deadly Aim, Moved: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 291d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6
Crit confirm?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 191d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Green gets a bolt planted in his back, and he looks back with bared gritted teeth.
--------------
Beetle blows a cone of acid at Orland.
Acid: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12
Ref Orland: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12, and he almost evaded part of it, but not right now.
---------------
Elsa, Father Burdock (& toy) & Sivar

Elsa waits until the hallway clears a little, and then she sends a blast of Icy Death

Holding and then Gatherpower/Blast after Burdock and his contraption move

BLASTER!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 Well, poo

Sivar moves up and stabs his weapon at greens back

Fauchard: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 201d10 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Sivar slashes the guard across the back, dealing a moderate chunk of hurt.

Father Burdock

Botting.

Father Burdock casts guidance, and then moves past the construct and Sivar. He discharges it on Sivar.
===================

Round 2

Orland (34/64)
------------
Duergar guards
Blue, Green (-17), Red
------------
Grint
------------
Beetle
------------
Elsa, Father Burdock & Sivar

Botting.

Orland steps aside to avoid flank, and swings two punches at blue.
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 201d8 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 271d8 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
He takes blue down quickly, the evil dwarf falls over.
--------
Green (-17) steps after him.
Axe, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 8 - 1 = 18Dmg: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8
And his hit is accurate enough, dealing 7 dmg.
--------
Grint
--------
Beetle
--------
Elsa, Father Burdock & Sivar

Grint fires at green and reloads.
Attack, PBS, Moved, Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 281d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

Green takes the bolt in the back, and is looking like he's near collapsing.
-----------
The beetle bites at Orland.
Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12, Orland merely lifts his leg and the beetle bites but air.
-----------
Elsa, Father Burdock & Sivar

Sivar moves forward a bit and slashes at the beetle with a heavy blow

Fauchard+pa: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 111d10 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Elsa moves forward and hurls ice at Red

Blast!: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Damage: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2) + 6 = 16

Despite some cover from Father Burdock, Elsa throws a blast of ice at the crossbow guard.

A firm patch of cold residue decorates his chest.

Father Burdock

Burdock moves over to the dwarf in the back, threatening him with his hammer.

@GM: Assuming move action to direct the construct?

He then calls to the construct to move into the room and assault the now frosted duergar!

Construct slam @ Green: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Damage on hit: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Grab on hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Father Burdock, yes.
I forgot to mention in its stats, it has 5 feet reach. Earlier when Orland fought it, he didn't provoke from 10 feet away.

The construct enters the chamber, on instruction of Father Burdock.
It draws surprised looks from the guards, seeing one of their mining contraptions following orders of a surface dwarf.
-------------------------

Round 3

Orland (27/64)
----------
Guards
Blue
Green (-25)
Red (-16)
----------
Grint

Elsa, Father Burdock & Sivar

Ahh phooey. Well it can maul next time.

Botting.

Orland throws a double fist at green.
#1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 231d8 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
He takes him down at the 1st, and throws his 2nd at the beetle.
#2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 341d8 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
Crit?: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 211d8 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

It would''ve been so much easier if he had a statblock...

The beetle bites the dust as well.
------------
Red steps south, grabs a vial and tosses it towards the square near Elsa & Grint.
Vs square AC 5, cover, 1 increment: 1d20 + 5 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 - 4 - 2 = 14
Elsa, Grint, & Sivar, roll a will DC 20.
Elsa & Grint are stunned for 1d2 ⇒ 1 if they don't pass.
Sivar & Orland become fonfused for 1 round if they don't pass.
-------------
Grint (will resolve 1st)
Elsa, Father Burdock & Sivar

will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Red is in Sivars threat range when he throws, which provokes

Fauchard AoO at reds throw.. still power attacking: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 171d10 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Aww nuts

confused result: 1d100 ⇒ 58

Damage to self yay!

self damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Then Sivar will deliver a standard attack at Red

Fauchard: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 301d10 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Fauchard crit confirm: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 191d10 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

I'm sorry to say, but your only action on your own turn, is hitting yourself.

Grint is caught off guard by the sudden flash, but Sivar makes an effort to strike at the duergar as he makes motion to throw the vial.
His attack comes short a bit, and in his ensuing confusion, he headbutts his fauchard.

Elsa & Father Burdock

Burdock steps closer, swinging his hammer at the duergar!

Hammer @ Red: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

He then calls out to the construct, commanding it to move in and strike!

Construct slam @ red: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Damage on hit: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Grab on hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Xtra: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Father Burdock successfully whacks the duergar in the chest.
His new toy misses on the attack, though.

Elsa

Elsa moves along the Southern wall.

"Feel my power, you wretched slaver!"
Rt: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Frosty dmg: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 3, 1) + 6 = 16

And with that declaration, she blasts down red, and combat is over.

They wear the standard gear you've seen them wear thus far.
They also each carry wages, worth 3d10 + 15 ⇒ (6, 3, 10) + 15 = 34 gp.

Three prisoners sigh in relief, their captors dispatched.

I presume you free them and send them to join the others?

Yes and give them what gear they can use

The three mongrel prisoners arm themselves with their picks, the chainmails from the guards and the crossbows, and will join up with the force outside.

You'll find plenty of loot anyway.

After healing up (which i assume you will with Orland having taken quite a beating), you follow the rails down the corridor up ahead.
The road splits into a fork, where you see some light ahead, and the soft sound of many picks to your left.

Yeah, I'll use more wand charges as necessary to take care of Orland.

"Let's check out those pick sounds; could be more slaves being worked by duergar."

Elsa comments on the new additions

Ah good. More wretches and vagabonds to join our motley crew. of course, she then begins giving them orders as if she expects everyone to obey her.

You there. Walk taller, you are followers of the Jadwiga Elsa Harcatha, and we do not slouch!

Father Burdock uses his wand on Orland.
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
He's back to full with 7 charges.

The corridor becomes too narrow for the construct to follow, making it wait the only option.

The way splits again, but more forward. One contains a variety of sacks, the other appears to have a wooden barricade.

A set of rails continue further ahead, but both to your left and right are spaces.

Burdock ignores Elsa's rabbling at the newcomers as he tries to tweak the construct's swing speed to hopefully be more accurate next time.

At the next fork, Burdock furrows his brow. "Let's check out that barricade just to make sure nothing nasty is lurking behind it and surprises us later."

"OK"

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Sivar will approach the barrier looking for hidden enemies etc.

1d100 ⇒ 70

Sivar does hear some movement behind the barricade.
..., ...., ... THUD.

Something slams against the thick wooden barricade.
Sivar's heart beats slightly faster for a few moments, but whatever is behind, isn't breaking through on its own.

Walking along, the tunnel splits again.
The left is unoccupied, but lit, from the right comes the ever increasing sound of picks.

I'm assuming you go there.

Although not as big as the Grand Quarry, this underground mining site is big nonetheless.

From what Orland and Father Burdock can see, there are about 6 duergar, and a few beetles present.

Up ahead, two of them press a prisoner towards a large pit.

As they finish shouting, the voice of the prisoner screams with a tone of horror.
Can i get perception checks please.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

While Burdock doesn't notice anything, he does translate the duergar speech to the others.

Feel free to look at the Undercommon spoilers.

"Shall we make a decisive strike against these louts?"

Sivar casts cure moderate wounds on himself

CMW: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (6, 3) + 6 = 15

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

Sivar, you were at full HP already. :)

Grint notices the faint noise of rumbling eminating from the direction of the hole. He also sees one of the prisoners looking with a brooding gaze towards the guards. A firm looking mongrel kin, he is seemingly the only one with a firm iron ball chained to his leg shackles.

Ball's in your court guys.

Elsa is ready to blast if that's what we want...because that's kinda what Elsa wants.

You there. You with the Lizard face. That is a weapon, not a stick. Hold it upright! she scolds some random mongrelman for holding his club the "wrong" way.

Sorry, family in town!

"Spot anything, Grint?", Burdock asks, hoping for as much intel as possible before charging in, ready to weaken more of the duergar efforts in the area.

Grint notifies what he heard and has seen, about the faint noise from the direction of the pit, and the bound muscular mongrel up ahead.
Right, on to the evil crushing then.
===================

The mine, round 1

Grint
Father Burdock & Orland-bot
------------
Red & Yellow
------------
Sivar
------------
Blue & Green
Orange & Purple
------------
Elsa

Grint moves over to get a clear shot and fires at red who is closest.
Single Shot, Deadly Aim, PBS, Moved: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 121d8 + 1 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 4 + 1 = 14

Botting.

Father Burdock casts guidance on Orland-bot.
Orland-bot moves towards the one Grint shot at.
Punch!: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 311d8 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

His fists collides firmly in the guard's torso.
-----------
Red directs his beetle at Orland, which then spits acid.
Acid dmg: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5
Ref Orland-bot: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
He's not fast enough and some of his arm hair burns.

Red steps aside, and turns invisible.
Yellow directs his beetle towards Orland-bot as well.
It scurries over. Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Yellow turns invisible as well, and steps aside.
-----------
Sivar
-----------
Blue & Green
Orange & Purple
-----------
Elsa

Sivar moves to just in front of Grint and swings at the bug attacking Orland

He decides not to blurt something in celestial out

Fauchard - Pa: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 141d10 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

The attack was a close call, and would have dealt considerable damage to the bug's health, but the aim is slightly short of a hit.
---------------
Blue & Green move towards Grint & Sivar
Orange directs his beetle towards Sivar, while purple keeps guard of a bulky mongrel.
---------------
---> Elsa

===============
The mine, round 2

Grint
Father Burdock & Orland-bot [ooc]You two can post in advance.

Grint steps back 5 feet, reloads and fires at blue in front of him.
Attack Single Shot, Deadly Aim, PBS, Moved: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 191d8 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 12
