The Tower (Inactive)

Game Master PDXCook

Kala moves to enter the room beyond the open door, greatsword at the ready.

Fort save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Readies an attack action with her sword.

Where do you want to move to? You can see two creatures in there.

2 squares down from the door. Should give me one square of separation from the closest creature.

"Naughty, Naughty javelins." Sister Bicor says then sees the javelin thrower. "Oh. Very naughty, mischievous... Uhmm stinky people."

She closes with the [northerly] one and launches a punch.
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21,
1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8,

Bicor Fort save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Oops, I meant to add that. Thanks

Marlak is uncertain which language the malodorous creatures speak, but he makes an educated guess. (draconic)"Throw down your arms and take a bath, or so help me, I will end you!"(/draconic)

Intimidate: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Alduin moves through the door, takes a whiff and then moves along the wall to position himself about ten feet away "Smells like rancid frog legs in here." Then he just stands there on the other side of the door, his armor slowing him too much to effectively do anything for now.

Bicors fist slams in the head of her opponent. The creature yells out in pain as it swings a club back at her.

Club: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The other one throws a javelin at Kala before moving towards the door to the east.

Javelin: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Bicor and Kala are up and then the Troglodytes go.

"Oh you wicked, wicked person! Why would you start throwing javelins like that and now a lub? You have been bad and must be punished."

spank: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3, klunk: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
spank spank: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2, klunk klunk: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

"Well you should be punished."

You throw a sharp pointy stick at me, and then try to leave? Kala seems almost indignant, before adding with a smile, Tease.

Taking a five-foot step to block the door, then attacking the creature with her greatsword.

Greatsword Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 (still under the effects of divine favor)
Greatsword Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 2) + 5 = 11

Easily ducking the punches of the monk the creature swing his club at her head but misses wide of the mark.

Smash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Ducking under the greatsword the other creature swings low with his club trying to take out the Inquisitor at the knees. A quick sidestep the Kala cause the club to miss.

Smash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

The troglodyte by the door yells out.

Marklak and Alduin are up followed by Bicor and Kala

Marlak shouts back in draconic to try to confuse the issue. "No Intruders! All is well!" He steps forward to skewer one of the lizard creatures from a safe distance.

Bardiche: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 201d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

You have to pick one.

The one shouting in draconic.

"I'll see he gets a proper spanking Bicor! Draw his attention!"

Alduin moves up to Bicor's target and attacks with his falchion

Falchion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 242d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 = 12
Crit?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 102d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 = 14

"Haha! Good show! This hunt is nearing its conclusion, pray that you have few regrets."

Ah hah! Good sir Alduin, what a shot! Now my turn to punish the naughty one."

If it survived the falchion I shall flurry on the same target. If not, I will do one attack after moving to the fresh target (first roll +1)

spank: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10, klunk: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
spank, spank: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18, klunk, klunk: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Alduin dispatches the creature. One is left standing in front of Kala. It has been gravely wounded by Marlak.

Rolling my attack with greatsword for next round so I don't hold things up.

Greatsword Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 divine favor included
Greatsword Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 6) + 5 = 12 includes divine favor

Swing and a miss, more than likely.

The remaining trog continues to yell for help as he swings wildly at Kala.

Club: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The party is up

Alduin moves up to the Trog target and attacks with his falchion

Falchion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 162d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 = 11

Marlak sings in draconic as loudly as the creature is yelling in an attempt to drown out its cries for help. He also slices at it trying to shut it up.

Bardiche: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 161d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

"Kyeeeeee....."flurry: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19, bam: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

flurry: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20, bam: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
"...Yyaa!"

The party gangs up on the last creature to silence its cries for help.

As you look around the room you see racks for weapons like the walls of this chamber. Above the racks hang various shields, pieces of armor, and standards on display. Most of the racks are empty, but a few weapons remain in place.

A search of the room reveals several item of interest. There is a very sharp dagger made of silver. A small steel shield emblazoned with a leaping dolphin seems to be made with great care. There is also a banner depicting a bird make of living fire.

These items seem like they may be of interest to Harold Bisby.

Marlak takes the dagger and says, "Let's throw the bodies over the side and begin making a collection of items that might interest our benefactor. I will hold onto this dagger, but I suggest we put that shield and that banner together near the exit, unless one of you has any interest in them."

"I will carry the banner. If anyone can use the shield, you should." I bet this tower used to belong to the ancient fire-bird-leaping-dolphin tribe.

There are two doors that are closed leading out of the room. One seems to enter the south wing of the tower. The other to the central staircase.

Marlak says, "Let us search the south wing before trying the staircase. Shall two of us open this door while the other two open the door on the other side?"

He searches for traps in this door while he waits for an answer.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 (find traps)

Marlak finds that the trogs have set up a trap to shoot a javelin at anyone entering the door from the other side.

Disarm it or leave it?

"Hold up!" says Marlak. "I've found a trap." He kicks open the door, then aims his bardiche toward the new room.

Alduin stands ready to move into the next room as soon as he is sure the javelin trap wont go off on him.

"A trap? How wicked!

Sister Bicor frowns, but is ready to follow.

The room beyond is empty except for a door that leads back to where you started.

Marlak checks the next door for traps. If there are none, he will give someone else a turn at opening doors. "After you."

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 (find traps)

Bicor thanks Marlak and opens the next door.

Kala follows, greatsword at the ready.

The door leads to a central staircase. Rubble blocks the decent down but you can go up.

There is a door leading west at the next landing and the staircase continues up.

Marlak searches the door for traps. If all is well, he opens the door.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 (find traps)

Keeping an eye out for trouble.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

This die-roller really does not like me, it seems...

Climbing the stairs reminds Sister Bicor of a tower back at castle Anthrax. "We had a tower like this back at the nunnery. It had a beacon at its top. Which I've just remembered is grail shaped."

The door does not seem to be trapped but it is locked. (DC25 Disable Device)

"Locked is it? Anyone want to take a crack at the contraption before I chop it to bits with one of these weapons in here?" Alduin looks to retrieve an ax from the weapon racks in the room and perhaps a morningstar if there is one. If no one can manage the lock without force, Alduin is more than willing to brute force it open the might a sharpened blade.

Marlak considers picking the lock, but he reckons that he would have to strip out of his confining armor to have a chance at it. He also considers blasting the door apart with a bomb, but Alduin using his ax may be just as good. "Go ahead and chop the door to splinters."

"Before chopping, try knocking. Maybe whoever is in there is just hiding from the stinky people," the elf says. She then knocks on the door.

There is no response to the knock on the door.

Break it down DC18 Strength Check

Chop it down. Hit Points 15 with a Hardness 5.

pretty Great-axe: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
pretty Great-axe: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Alduin waits for everyone's satisfaction that no one will be answering the door anytime soon before grabbing the largest ax off the rack and going to work at the door. In short order the door collapses to splinters.

The monk pulls the broken pieces of the door from the frame and passes through the hole.

Kala follows with a cheerful smile.

Marlak follows Kala into the breach.
