To Rappan Athuk (Inactive)

Game Master brvheart

The wand is not magical, just gawdy.

and this is why when we get back to town, one of the items we need to have Lom craft is a bag of holding. I find few things more frustrating than having to leave treasure behind.

Town? You are going to need to go to a city for that. East Gate or Endhome are closest about two weeks by keel boat.

The goblin shakes his head at Myrick, looking forlornly at even the gems. "I be full up. Cun sniff em and dat be it."

Imagine how a goblin thief feels about leaving treasure. I don't mind a visit to the city it would break up the dungeon play some and that can't be bad. Looks like this game has legs and will run for a while so I'm all for mixing things up a bit.

Then he has a bright idea. He pulls out his winter blanket and dumps the 74 gold pieces with the rest - replacing them with all those pretty gems. Neatly rolls up his blanket and puts it back away.

He taps the side of his head with eyes narrowed at Myrick to show how brainy he is.

Lars does have some free carrying capacity as he does have a high strength. He also has a couple of empty sacks.

2074 gold coins is about 41.5lbs.

He can carry that, though it will take him into medium load.

Well... I think Aggrammar can carry it, or at least part of it - Medium loads don't mean nuthin' to us dwarves :D

--

Bags of holding, ranged weapons, magic quivers. CLW wands

Well, we DO have a CLW wand :P

"Don't stress yerself lad" - Aggrammar smiles as he sees Mojo fumbling to get as many coins as he can - "Ye're just gonna open yer wounds, and I'll have ta heal ya all over again! Let me and Lars carry that, along with Myrick" - he finishes drawing his wand - "Now get over here and let me fix ya"

CLW on Mojo: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Mojo seems to be the only one wounded at the moment?

"There. That's better" - he nods approvingly, then turns to the others - "Where to now?"

after we figure out how to carry the loot we're going down the stream. My icon is already there on the map. Sorek would help carry the loot but he's only got 13str and needs to avoid medium encumbrance. No wounds for Sorek, Aggy

This huge room reeks with the smell of rot and disease, an overwhelming miasma that rises from a huge central pool of pus and filth. At the middle of the pool, the horrid liquids fountain upward to a height of five feet. Five large rivulets of the fluid trickle away from the fountain, threading their way across the floor to disappear down corridors or through gaps in the walls.

"Thanks Master Aggy. Oim much better, just a scratch left an' dat cun be fixed back in der town." the goblin smiles and then coughs. "Smells woors dana prison privy, it does." Then he realises what he said and goes very quiet in case no one heard and to give him time to think of a story.

"Prison privy heh..?" - Aggrammar chuckles as they move along - "Ye'll have ta tell me..." - then stops short when they come upon the dreadful place - "What the...?"

Damn, Rappan Athuk is a FOUL place :P

"Why do I get tha feelin' this pool is feedin' the whole place with... Pus?!"

Is there something I can roll to remember if I ever heard anything about pools of pus and filth...?

"Why do I get tha feelin' this pool is feedin' the whole place with... Pus?!"

"Makes sense to me. As much sense as this place makes. How do we turn it off?"

examining the fountain
perception inside the room: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Lomyldyr will detect magic on the room and will look for any hidden danger.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

"Beware my friends, who know's what horrid beast lives in these foul waters."

"This must be the source of the filty stinking evil on this level. Let us cleanse it in the name of the Lords of Light."

This huge room reeks with the smell of rot and disease, an overwhelming miasma that rises from a huge central pool of pus and filth. At the middle of the pool, the horrid liquids fountain upward to a height of five feet. Five large rivulets of the fluid trickle away from the fountain, threading their way across the floor to disappear down corridors or through gaps in the walls.
The room itself was obviously once used as a temple: a huge alcove in the northern part of the room contains a ten-foot-tall statue of a benevolent-looking figure wearing white-painted robes. However, the
statue is splashed with blood and filth, and a grisly necklace made of
human hands has been draped around the statue’s neck like some sort of
psychopathic offering. All of these are left hands: the ones that are missing from all the plague zombies the party has encountered.

"whoever the statue is.. I think it is safe to say that he is was a force for good... I'm no expert in these matters but I think it is worth taking the time to clean the statue and remove that abomination of a necklace. What say you? " Looking at Aggrammar Myrick and Lars deferring to their expertise

Something seems to be forming in the pool, four somethings.

I'll wait for others to chime in

-Posted with Wayfinder

Lomyldyr nods at Sorek, "Yes, we should cleanse the statue, but first we're going to have to deal with whatever is in that muck."

Lomyldyr will use his wand to cast protection versus evil on Sorek.

"Waaaa? Summat in der mud?" says the goblin as he steps back from the somethings and mud until there are plenty of bodies in between.

"I am quite sure this will be completely disgusting, whatever it is. "

Sorek looks into the pool trying to figure out exactly what is forming there.

Perception : 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Perception : 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

They seem to be small humanoid shaped creatures.

"well whatever's forming in that pool can't be good for us."

can we range attack whatever is forming in the pool?

"What are we waitin' for lads?! Hit it before it comes outta tha pool!! Go!"

"I really need to purchase a ranged weapon. "

The goblin rogue follows the orders and shoots at the mudmen, aiming for a head.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25, Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

"Right then!"

Myrick points his blade at the humanoids.

"I designate thee! Mayst thou feel the weight of his divine might rain down from my hand."

Smite Evil (2/day) (Su) +3 to hit, +4 to damage, +3 deflection bonus to AC when used.

Myrick advances as lashes out with a brutal two handed power strike against the forming foes.

1d20 + 7 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 3 - 2 = 20
1d10 + 6 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 6 + 4 = 23

"Atta boy!" - Aggrammar encourages his companions.

You were entering room 30 with 4 things forming in the pool.

NOT...going into the filthy pool unless he has to! Sorek launches a bolt of ki energy at one of the forming shapes from the edge of the pool

Ranged Psychokinetic Discharge +8 (2d6+6/19-20/x2 B,P,S/20 ft max range 10 increments)
attack#1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
damage#1: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 = 10

standard action:

move action:re-empower his fists

I think Mojo has acted?

Waiting for a real target.

Lomyldyr had used his wand to cast protection versus evil on Sorek the first round.

Soreks AC now 23 with prot evil

thanks Lomyldyr

Ok, do your actions for another round. You have knocked out two of them that were forming but two more appear in their place.

"They keep forming, so I will keep smiting!"

1d20 + 7 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 3 - 2 = 16
1d10 + 6 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 6 + 4 = 19

Are they flatfooted as they form? I can hope.

The little goblin aims for the one of the right, not Myrick's target and pulls back the bow ready to hit a creature in the face.

Shortbow + sneak attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14, Damage: 1d4 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + (4, 4) = 10

Just noticed this post... Sorry Sorek :P

Not sure if it is appropriate but:

Knowledge (Religion)?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

It appears to be a benevolent human. Who or what you do not know.

Lomyldyr will next use his wand to cast protection vs. evil on Myrick (+2 bonus on AC and saves).

Ok guys, lets roll init and place yourselves. I have put them in the pool. Myrick and Sorek hit for half damage. Mojo missed.

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

init: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Init : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

"Gits dat creatures not good fur arras."

init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
