"I'm about as quiet as a handful of copper pieces tossed down stone stairs. Wouldn't be worth much on me. "
"I guess Lom and I are the only ones not clanking around in armor. Guess I could wear it. " says the character with one rank in stealth
"they must have a lair around here somewhere"
Continues exploring looking for their lair
"Imma definitely not gonna wear it" - Aggrammar chuckles - "If anyone is noisier than Lars that woulda be me, and an elfin' cape won't solve dat!"
Lomyldyr hands the cloak to Sorek. "It's probably not worth the risk of crawling down the rat tunnels. Let's move down the stairs."
He listens at the top of the stairs.
"Yeah, I don't like the idea of enclosed spaces full of rats. I vote stairs. "
The tribe has spoken. Stairs
It would be a tight fit crawling on his stomach even for Sorek, but he might be able to get through. The holes are only 2-3' in diameter.
"stairs it is. But maybe the next time we pass by this Lom could cast a shrinking spell on me, enabling me to search these tunnels easier, I don't mind doing it alone. They're just rats."
Sorek leads the group down the stairs.
The air here is foul and eight giant rat corpses lay about, apparently torn apart by some wild animal. Blood spattering cover the entire area. The north door has been scratched and hacked with a handaxe that is still embedded in it (DC 16 Strength check to remove).
Lomyldyr nods at Sorek, "I'll see what I can do."
Once down the stairs he detects magic and searches the area.
He looks at the four doors and shrugs. "Pick a door. Any one will do."
" I guess any door is as good as the other"
Sorek moves to the nearest door (2nd door from the top)and examines it
Detect for Magic and Evil
Lom finds a loose tile in the floor opposite the door Sorek is checking. The door is locked. No one detects any magic.
When Lom points out the loose tile Sorek responds "probably best to avoid that spit. Likely another pit trap"
Sorek then proceeds to unlock the door
see post in discussion
If successful, will open door and look inside
Hallway.
Sorek leads the group down the hallway.
Single file Marching order:
Sorek
Myrick
Aggy
Lom
Lars
Not sure if Loma how have been topped off yet. Will wait for that to happen before proceeding down hallway. Think Aggy has the clw wand
"Lead da way lad" - Aggrammar nods at Sorek.
Eventually you come to a door.
Detect for Magic and Evil, TRAPSPOTTING
after examining the door, Sorek will notify the group if any strong Evil or Magic is detected so we can properly prepare, Otherwise he will open the door and proceed down the hallway/cavern/etc til the next door/obstacle/creature is encountered
and if traps/locks detected (for multiple attempts if necessary)
Lom nods his appreciation to Aggy. "Thanks for the healing, brother."
He avoids the loose spot in the floor and wearily follows behind the others.
While you are moving Aggy notices something odd about the north wall. He guesses there is a secret door there.
"hidden door? Let me take a look"
Detect for Magic and Evil, TRAPSPOTTING
after examining the door, Sorek will notify the group if any strong Evil or Magic is detected so we can properly prepare, Otherwise he will open the door and proceed down the hallway/cavern/etc til the next door/obstacle/creature is encountered
and if traps/locks detected (for multiple attempts if necessary)
Sorek detects magic and somewhat strong evil beyond the secret door, but does not locate any traps.
"Whaddya say then lad?" - Aggrammar inquires of Sorek.
Sorek motions for the group to step a short distance away from the door and whispers"evil... about a 7.0 out of 10 on the Gygax scale and magic beyond the door. Tactics? Standard smash and bash or do you want to try something special like leading through the door with summoned monsters and flaming spheres? If for some reason we have to retreat..... let's run back down the hallway and barricade the door we just opened"
Once the group has finished it's tactics discussion Sorek will take 2 rounds to buff himself

"Tactics? <hic> Not familiar with that gentleman. "
"Let's get dis done"
@brvheart how manyAuras?
six and you only have a total of two rounds before the door opens
Sorek flashes six fingers pointing to the door
Per brvheart we have 2 rounds.
Round 1: Sorek informs the group of the threat.
Round 2: buffs himself +1 insight ac and saves and moves to the door motioning for Lars and Myrick to set up on either side of the door. So that any enemy coming out of the door will be subjected to attack by all 3 of us. And we block access to the casters in the rear.
Lomyldyr stands a safe distance back from the door and braces himself for the coming fight.
Lars will prep by casting divine favor on himself and shield of faith if Aggramar isn't doing it.
looks like we're all set. Myrick???ready to rumble?
Myrick and Aggy
Myrick moves forward with his sword and shield up. He takes the monks word for the strengths and numbers of evil behind the door.
"I am ready, let them come."
And suddenly everything goes dark. Everyone make a DC 15 Will save vs Fear.
On Myrick

On Sorek

Confirm crit on Myrick
Confirm crit on Aggy
Roll init please
Everyone within 10 ft of Myrick gets +4vs fear
AC with shield of faith is 29, FF 27, so that misses.
Lars ninjas me before I could correct my post.
Lomyldyr turns and runs!
Sorek deploys Ioun stone and gets 3 AOOs
and
and
and
What else are you doing Sorek?
Can Sorek see what he is up against? He should be able to if it is deeper darkness.
As a move action he deployed his Continual Flame source (either ioun stone or circlet) which since it was cast upon the object by Aggy as a 3rd level spell will counter deeper darkness if that is what we're up against....see discussion for longer explanation.
Sorek retaliates
