The Hidden Vault (Inactive)

Game Master DireMerc

Lilly smiles as her companions dish out hits.

"It proceeds well. Soon a break can be upon us yet again."

The remaining two hobgoblins go down, but one got away. It wont be long until more show up.

Kirana checks the room for anything usable.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 +2 if it concerns goblinoids

"I suggest we move after the one that escaped. Does anyone have some healing for me?"

There was a wand somewhere, if I remember correctly :)

Lilly pats Kirana on the head.
"There now, you'll be ok."

Cast clw.
Hp restored: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Searching the room you find a masterwork dagger on the table that was being used to cut meat. There are several plates of meat on the table and a game of dice. There is nothing else of interest in this room.

There is a door to the east which is the direction the runaway took. There is a doubledoor to the south and a door to the west.

"Thank you, Lilly!"

Kirana puts the game of dice in her backpack. "Always useful, when bored."

Unless anyone claims it, the dagger goes into the loot bin? Who was it again, that keeps track of the loot?

ok lets meet the occupants head on before they get more time to prepare

Gloin will run after the one that got away.

"Ah...erm, not so hasty Gloin! The gobs perhaps have a surprise on the shelves for us."

<That'd be interesting to see actually.>
No that would not, keep silent!
<....hehe.....>

I am not going to let them organize in full groups to bear there numbers down on us. he says with a smile still moving

Uncertain what to do next, Lilly drags Wagsy and Kira by the arm.
Sudden pull: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Meh, pretty weak...

In the next room are gathered three hobgoblins and an orc. The orc wears a bearskin cloak and has a long staff and one of the hobgolbins stand a foot and a half taller than the others and wields a falchion.

Go ahead and go first, I will post enemy response after.

"All right greenskins, dinnae be movin'! We got ye surrounded!"

Are you ready to ROCK!

Round 1 - I will begin a Bardic Performance, Inspire COurage, I have 5 rounds left of this. On my next turn I will Cast "Cord of Shards", if I have to move a bit first I will do so in order to catch the bear skin and tall Hob in the area of effect and not get any friends, 15' cone, damage is 2d6 sonic, reflex save Negates, the DC is 16

Round 1

Focus on the Orc i will deal with the Hobgoblin Boss Says Gloin as the move to engage the Falchion wielding Hobgoblin.

Current AC 25

Lilly's pull isn't too strong, but Kirana follows Lilly to the other room. She switches her axes for her bow while moving.

"Okay, I'll take the orc!" Kirana says, and shoots two arrows at it.

Arrow!: 1d20 + 2 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 3 - 2 = 18 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8
Another Arrow!: 1d20 + 2 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 3 - 2 = 5 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Lilly draws her crossbow. Then proceeds with going Mental.
Gift of Madness on the Orc. DC14 will

Gloin moves up and attacks the hobgoblin leader his attack connects and lands a very solid blow (20 damage).

Kirana shoots the orc with an arrow and misses with another.

Min moves up and attacks the hobgoblin chief as well but he misses.
Min attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 102d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 5) + 9 = 16

Dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Time for my Choird of Shards, I suppose!

we are still having the benefit of Inspire Courage Wag or you are changing to something else?

"Pew pew!" Kirana shoots two more arrows at the orc. She's not entirely sure where the first arrow flies off to, but the second arrow seems to move in the right direction.

Arrow 1: 1d20 + 2 + 3 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 3 - 2 + 1 = 5 Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Arrow 2: 1d20 + 2 + 3 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 3 - 2 + 1 = 18 Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

No idea what the room looks like, so Firebeard will simply charge ahead

Firebeard moved into the room and struck out at the nearest hobgoblin. His strike went wide as the hoblgoblin lurched backwards to avoid the blow.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The dice roller absolutely hates me

Min swings at the chieftain again and this time lands a solid blow.

two handed power attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 152d4 + 15 ⇒ (1, 4) + 15 = 20

The orc shaman retreats back to the door on the eastern end of the room and opens the door.

Chord of Shards!?

Ziggy Played Guitar!: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

As I said on Tuesday? Reflex save, DC 16 negates

Oh sorry I tought you were just doing inspire competence. About chord of shards that's a 15 foot cone that would hit, Min, firebeard, Kirana and gloin as well as the 3 hobgolins.

"Don't run away, coward!" Kirana shoots two more arrows at the fleeing orc.

Arrow 1: 1d20 + 2 + 3 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 3 - 2 + 1 = 7 Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Next round

<Hey girl, you're not being very good at the shooting thing.>
Silence!
<You know, if your companions fall, those big fellows might just fancy some "company" you can provide, hm? Like the doctors but worse.>
......

A traumatic memory resurfaces, and Lilly lets out a disturbing screaming, holding her head as if it were about to explode.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

sorry wags its just that the layout of the room and everyone actions puts you in the back of the group, you could try moving first. have a look at the map

flurry: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

flurry: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Firebeard lashed out at the chieftain with another pair of blows. The first one was really more of a distraction. The second...

Kirana misses, Gloin lands another hit on the chieftain, Lilly screams in such a fashion that the hobgoblin chief hesitates (become shaken). Firebeard lands a punch as well. The chieftain staggers having taken a lot of damage.

Min swings at the chieftain and lands a devastating blow finishing him off. attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 202d4 + 9 ⇒ (4, 4) + 9 = 17

The two remaining hobgoblins try to flee.

Provoking attacks from Min, firebeard and gloin and Min takes advantage of the chance to drop hobgoblin 2 as well.
Min attack of op: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 202d4 + 9 ⇒ (4, 3) + 9 = 16

Hobgoblin 1 remains and he has ac 16 and 15 hp.

AoO: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

Firebeard lashed out at one of the fleeing hobgoblins before turning his attention back to the chieftain.

flurry: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

flurry: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 = 16
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Aoo on the fleeing Hobgoblin: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 171d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

So the orc's gone now, 'cause he was fleeing?

Correct the orc went out of the room and up some stairs.

I've been thinking and I decided I'm going to fast forward a bit here to get things moving at a better pace.

You chase the orc up the stairs but when you arrive there is no sign of him.

You fight a few more groups of hobgoblin but with the leaders slain the rest scatter and flee the fort.

The fort is yours.

Loot, Searching the fort you find the following:

On chieftain:
-Flachion +1
-Masterwork chainshirt
-magic ring (function unknown)

Armory:
-Spear
-Ranseur
-splint mail
-large wooden shield
-potion of hull's strength
-potion of cure light wounds
-8 light crossbow
-160 bolts
-10 javelins

Money:
-250 cp
-356 sp
-732 gp

You can level up to level 3 also.

I will give you a chance to sort trough this and to level up and then we will continue from there.

Lilly looks at the magic ring. "Shiny....."
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

While looking at the rest her head begins to pulse and she holds it. (you know that type of pulsing headache)
Wobbly on her feet she hears voices in an unknown language....getting a vision of a cold emptyness (space) and something awful briefly flashes.
"Aaahh...."....cue the look of a paranoid person briefly.

Took revelation power:
Interstellar Void (Su): You call upon the frigid depths of outer space to bring a terrible chill to your enemies. As a standard action, one target within 30 feet is cloaked in the void and takes 1d6 points of cold damage for every oracle level you possess. A successful Fortitude save halves this damage.

Huzzah to everyone. Tough fights overall but we managed Right Lilly? he winks at her reminiscing of the ghost fight

Lilly's eyes slowly returned to her, to what normal is to her, normal look.
"Huh? Yes....tough as a 14 days aged cookie, which you are delighted to be rid of. My person doesn't fathom what just passed in my head, but it was scary...."

<Well now nutty, you see something weird just now? You were tripping pretty badly.>
......
<Must be bad, you're not even brushing me off, sort to speak.>

Well now that the fort is ours we can quickly and nicely handed it back don't we he says with a smile

Firebeard wiped the blood from his knuckles, then looked about the room with interest, pulling down weapons and stacking them nearby.

So everyone ready to head back?

"Guessing so...every person present feeling healthy for the trek before us?"

After making sure the fort is clear you head out and return to Magnimar.

The trek takes a few hours and but is safe and you make it back to town.

From there you can go to the temple to seek out healing or go see lord Kyle to report your success.

I'll be heading to lord Kyle for the report, those of you who are sill suffering from debilitating effect can go to the temps meanwhile if they wish

"Who is this Kyle person?", she asks with a curious look in her eyes.

He is a nobility of this city and the one who tasked us in clearing this fort so that his forces can use it to protect the area from the Greenskins. he says with a smile
