The Pyramid of Shadows (Inactive)

Game Master PathlessBeth

Oh joy. A likely "blue" on "blue" encounter coming up. If nothing else we'll likely make enough noise to startle the others.

Mundarion thinks: Uh oh. A warforged with a glowing Lucerne hammer incoming. This can't be good. And trying to hide from a Dwarf can be tricky.

Nevertheless Mundarion does his best to skulk back from the door and find a position such that even if he isn't hidden that well, the two groups will likely see each other before they spot him. Unless, of course, simply staying where he is right now will do that for him.

The lack of ability to nest spoilers is annoying...

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Are we going to have some sort of map or will it all be written description?

init: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Gemheart charges in, swinging the blunt side of his lucerne hammer at the chest of one of the dragonborn. (reach weapon, keeping him at reach. Positioning myself so either of them have to advance through my threatened squares to give me an AoO (i also have non-reach weapon: spikes))

atk: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 = 15
dmg: 1d12 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 3 = 17

"Flee, thief, if you value your life!"

Been bizzy today. Get to it in a few hours...

Yess shimmers suddenly, and drives her fell blade at the stricken dragonborn...

Swift Action: Inimica - Pitiless Advantage.

Standard Action: Attack!
Shingt!: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 19 [BAB, +1 Str, +1 Mwk, +2 Pitiless Advantage]
Schklop!: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 [+1 Str]

Gemheart is using a reach weapon and the dwarf hasn't moved yet so this should work.

Mundarion emerges from his hiding spot and moves to where he can cast color spray on the two dragonborn without hitting Gemheart.

ASF check: 1d100 ⇒ 3 Looking for greater than 10. If it goes off the dragonborn will need to make a DC 15 Will save.

Speaking to the dragonborn on the ground
Sure! Although i think i will need to keep this, and return it to him who had it before. So your boss's name is Gharash Vren? Whats he like? Is he a good boss? Hey, maybe i can help you search!
Then turning to the catfolk,
Hey De-Have-Cat, I believe it was, you mind letting our friend up? And would you also like to join us in finding a friends friend?
Then back to the dragonborn
Here, ill trade you a potion of CLW for that stone tablet? Deal?

Gemheart steps up to attack the same thief once more (assuming that color spray didnt work), but this time he is attacking non-lethally.

atk: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 4 = 7
dmg: 1d12 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 3 = 11

Oops, I didn't see the ASF. One thing you can do is preview a post before submitting it. The preview shows the rolls, and they do not change when you submit the post.

AoO, nonlethal: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 4 = 24
1d12 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 3 = 18

Reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Mundarion nimbly leaps out of the way. Approaching the dragonborn who fell down, Mundarion transfers his dagger to his left hand, draws his longsword and holds his blade up against the dragonborn's next. He says, "Yield or die oh dexterous one."

Oops, my turn to have misread something. Given that the silver dragonborn is still functional ...

Mundarion maneuvers around the pit (walking, not jumping), transferring his dagger to his left hand he draws his longsword and takes a swing at the silver one. Given that the silver one is uninjured Mundarion strikes for lethal damage.

Sword attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

And with a result like that I'm not going to bother rolling damage.

initiative: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Midiotoziggeroto takes the stone tablet and gives the dragonborn a small potion.
Vanished eh? Well i can do that too, see?
And with that Midiotoziggeroto winks out of existance with a POP. appearing behind the dragonborn.
So i sippos it was little more than that. Come, show us where you last saw him and maybe we can help!
My names Midiotoziggeroto by the way, and this is De-Have-Cat. What is your name, friend?

Inititative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

well, power attack would be +4, strength would be around +4/+5.
Thats 8 or 9 right there. Maybe weapon specialization for +2? Enchanted weapon for another +1/+2? (Loot him >:D) +1 for weapon training?
It is high, but if he is a fighter, its not that unusual :) And a big, dumb fighter sounds about right ^_^

Sure, but is the shortsword extra-Large? ;)

Yess reels from the dragonborn's blow, cut deeply across the arm. She grits her teeth and pulses with dire fury, swinging at the draconic warrior.

Swift Action: Expend 1 point from Terror Pool:

Standard Action: Attack!
Shwaah!: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 18 [BAB, +1 Str, +1 Mwk, +2 Pitiless Advantage]
Schtak!: 1d10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4 [+1 Str, +2 Dire Pool]

Terror Pool points remaining 3/4.
1 round remaining of Terror pool bonus remaining.

Alright great! Lead the way friend!
Midiotoziggeroto will then follow along, winking in and out of existance as he goes.
POP. POP. POP.
btw, you never did mention his name...
Midiotoziggeroto will then send a missive to Thomas.
3pp. If Thomas is within 40ft he gets the message otherwise the power fails

Once again Thomas calls upon the burning Fires of his Will to manifest into a physical form to perform his sacred duty as he moves to intercept this villain.

Form mind blade and move next to the Dragonborn, preferably flanking.

What does the area around Gemheart look like (besides the fog, what was the situation before the fog? as far as i can figure, it was one fallen dragonborn, one running, and another?

Mundarion swings his sword going for an attack of opportunity. Again striking for lethal damage.

To hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

That probably hit.

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Concealment miss check: 1d100 ⇒ 62

And Mundarion connects through the fog, feeling his sword bite into the dragonborn.

There were three bad guys. One magically escaped the instant Gemheart and the dwarf entered the building, the white dragonborn is down, and the silver dragonborn is trying to escape through the fog, though probably leaving a blood trail now.

Question for GM, is the silver dragonborn going for the trap door or the front door of the building?

Ah, then Gemheart attempts to give chase as best he can on the silver dragonborn. since he cant see him at the beginning of the round, he cant charge, and likely wont catch up to him enough to hit him this round. But he will be giving chase

This affair harms innocent bystanders king it MY business!

attack roll: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Thomas leaps forward in a lunge for the foul lizard's chest, a righteous yell coming forth from his lips.

Sunder the door, power attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 2 = 10
1d12 + 6 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 3 + 6 = 18

soooo.... tie these guys up, search the place for the goods and call it an encounter? or are we still on initiative (with ominous music playing)?

This encounter is done, you are no longer on initiative.

"Merchant, describe the goods that were stolen." Gemheart says, looking around the room for valuables.

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 7

He turns to Mundarion, "Who are you? What are you here for? Are you able to tie these thieves up?"

Turning to Midio and placing her hand on his shoulder,
Perrrrhaps we should be carrrreful in this place, Small-Hunterrrr. This place makes me want to claw this one until... well, perrrrhaps i should save the rest of that for laterrrr...

"Oho my scaly friend - you would defy me! Tasste ssteel!" hisses Yessai, her tongue growing sibilant as she exerts herself to contain the dragonborn's quick maneuver...

5' step if needed...

Standard Action: Attack!
Zhot!!: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 19 [BAB, +1 Str, +1 Mwk, +2 Pitiless Advantage]
Chok: 1d10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 2 = 11 [+1 Str, +2 Dire Pool]

Terror Pool points remaining 3/4.
0 rounds remaining of Terror pool bonus remaining.

In there, Nightblade? Hmm ya we should probably take a looksee, shall we?
Midiotoziggeroto will take a preliminary look around, the general state of the building and especially if there are any windows or such on any upper floors.
perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 why did i only put 2 points in perception again??
He then manifests Detect Psionics in the general direction of the door, and a bit beyond.
Detect Psionics: detect presence or absence of auras. Blocked by 1ft stone, 1 inch metal, 3ft stone/dirt or lead.
Midiotoziggerotos eyes suddenly glow golden as he asks De'Arv to help him look.
Hey De'Arv, you probably got better eyes than me. What do you see? Especially up.

Mundarion says, "My name is Mundarion. I am here because I was told there was something under this building that could be used to help alleviate some of the problems that are afflicting my country. Unfortunately the information did not include any details about what the item looked like or how it was supposed to work."

"I decided to help you for several reasons. The first was that seemed to be the best way to get access to, if not the trap door, then the passage under it. The second reason is that I don't like thieves. The third is that I wanted to talk to you."

"Where I come from we have beings very much like yourself that we use to help us with various tasks. While it seems unlikely that you are one of the beings from my land, I am curious about where you came from."

"I don't have any rope on me, and would be reluctant to cut up my good climbing rope even if I had it here. We'll have to make do with whatever cloth or rags we can find."

"Last, but possibly more important to you, I have the ability to prepare and cast spells which are intended to repair beings such as yourself. While I do not have such a spell ready right now, if you needed it I could get one ready for you in the morning."

Perception check for rope, rags, whatever: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

It should also be noted that Mundarion sheathed his weapons when the combat was over.

"I am known as Gemheart. I come from a world whose history was long forgotten. In an attempt to recover it, I ended up here. I do mercenary work and that dwarf asked me to take care of some thieves."
