Under the Crimson Sun (Inactive)

Game Master Nethru

Oh my you are officially the god roller.
Tydus don't forget to re-roll 6 on first die.

Davros navigation skills through these tunnels is so good that it's almost uncanny. You twist and turn and these tunnels turn into a giant maze but no problem for the Halfling.

Able to bypass all dangers of the bees traversing the tunnels you finally make it into a large cavern. In the center of the room is a giant bee which must be the queen of this hive.

Queen

Hanging from the honeycomb ceiling are spheres filled with what looks like water and some a thicker substance that looks edible. You see a few bodies at the queens side and as soon as you walk into the chamber you see her thrust the barb at the end of her abdomen into the body of a paralysed elf and inject something into the body. She doesn't seem to pay you any attention.

Davros scurries back to Tydus and Manu panicked at what he just saw."Guys I found a huge bee even bigger then Tiny over there, it it it was doing something with an elf I don't know what but there was some food and water there too."

Davros furiously taps his fingers against his dagger trying to remain calm. "What do you should think we should do."

I'm not in the hive with you, Manu is waiting outside

Tydus replies to the Halfling, "We came for water, we will retrieve water and food if we can. Let us go back to the place you found and get it".

Stealth 3d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 2) = 9

If it's possible to tell Manu about the Queen bee I will if not I will just help lead Tydus there.

"uhhh... ffffine, here just follow me and try to stay quiet. Davros scopes the first tunnel and gestures Tydus to follow.

You could relay the message not sure he wants to go into that cramped place :)

You make it back to where the queen is without much incidents.

Manu stands guard outside the hive, trying to do his best to stay hidden and out of the way until the others get back. He plans to give them an hour before he assumes they are dead.

Tydus and Davros you can do whatever you want. The queen is paying you no mind when your near her cave.

Davros quickly looks inside to see if there are any other enemies other then the queen bee.

If not Davros walks inside with his readied crossbow and nods at Tydus letting him know he's ready for a fight.

Tydus steps in and proceeds to fill his own waterskin and presumably that of Manu who he promised to get more water for, he will also search for foodstuffs to carry out with them. He will load himself down if he can as the Giant will certainly require more food than they to sustain himself.

As you attempt to pull the wax sacks that contain the water and gooey food substance the queen turns it's attention to you as if your stealing her most prised possessions and hisses as she charges.

Init please!

queen init: 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) + 1 = 11

Initiative 3d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 2) = 9

Wild 1d6 ⇒ 2

Init: 6d6 - 2 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 6, 2, 5) - 2 = 24

Round 1
Davros - 25
Tydus - 11

Round 1
Davros - 25
Queen - 11 (Block 12, Dodge 10, Soak 15)
Tydus - 9

Davros stops reaching for the wax sacks upon seeing the queen rush towards him then haphazardly shoots in her direction.

Crossbow att: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 6, 3, 3) = 19

Crossbow dmg: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 3, 3, 2) + 1 = 15

Wild die: 1d6 ⇒ 1

For my Bardic assassin daze ability is the Tn 24? The base math is TN 5+Success Roll to resist.

You need to get 10+ over the TN of opponents dodge you only got 9 so no exceptional success on that hit.

The shot hits the Queen and appears to do some damage to it and it screaches closing the distance and swinging it's pincer at Davros!

brawling -1D: 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 5, 6) + 2 = 16
Wiff on Davros.

Tydus is up!

Tydus will Push the creature away using the Way.

Psion 5d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 1, 1, 2, 2) + 2 = 14

Tydus Wild Explosion: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Queen Might check -1D: 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 3, 5) + 2 = 16

The Queen gets pushed back away from Davros but doesn't look like it's going to stop coming at you.

Round 2
Davros - 25
Queen - 11 (Block 12, Dodge 10, Soak 15) [Wounds: Stun -1D]
Tydus - 9

Queen got a wild die 6 as well. Dav your up!

Sorry for taking so long to post had a LONG day today.

Davros dashes a short ways away so Tydus can flank before returning fire with his crossbow.

Crossbow: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 2, 4) = 16

Crossbow dmg: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 1) + 1 = 15

The queen takes another wound!

queen brawling -1D: 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1, 1) + 2 = 5
Big wiff on Davros with tripple 1's!

Tydus is up!

Pardon my asking, but how did the queen take a wound when her 15 soak negated the damage to 0?

Your correct. My vision is going on me in my old age was looking at the attack roll for damage! Queen is at stunned wound level still.

Tydus swings the short sword he acquired from the slavers at the Queen

Sword 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 3) + 1 = 10

The queen easily deflects the blow with her body still looking to devour Davros!

Round 3
Davros - 25
Queen - 11 (Block 12, Dodge 10, Soak 15) [Wounds: Stun -1D]
Tydus - 9

Davros your up!

Davros desperately shoots his crossbow hoping he can create some distance between the two.

Crossbow att: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 5, 1, 5) = 22

Wild die: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Crossbow dmg: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 5) + 1 = 20

wild die: 1d6 ⇒ 6

wilder die: 1d6 ⇒ 3

queen might check: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5) + 2 = 9

The arrow strike the queen between it's hard shell and it looks up for a split second and falls sides to the ground and appears to be incapacitated!

You both can carry 3 of these wax balls each. You have choice of the Water or Honey balls. Each is 1 gallon filled.

Davros looks around to see if he can recover any of his bolts before looking at the barb of the queen to see if it's a usable substance.

Davros fills his hands with balls full of honey upon leaving.

Is it the size of the caverns that prevent carrying more? I am pretty strong!

I was just asking the DM about that over skype. I figured you guys could fashion something to carry more assuming you could take the time and try a few rolls.

The was balls are just to big to carry more than 3 each due to the shave and size. Between you two you can bring out 3 gallons of water and 3 gallons of honey foods or whatever ratio you want unless you come up with another method as Manu was eluding to.

Davros pulls the arrows from the queen bee and cuts it up a bit pulling out some guts and entrails and placing them inside his breaches. Funny how Halflings treat the creatures they kill.

Other then bringing Manu over here I'm not sure how we can carry extra. Can we eat/drink a days worth of food then carry 3 wax balls out?

Manu might be willing to go in there if you tell him there is food and water to fill up on inside without risk of horrible bee stinging death in cramped closetspace.

For the purpose of moving things along your able to get 3 wax balls each out you can determine if it will be water or food supplies between the 3 of you, 1 gallon each wax ball. The Honey is very good and you feel it has some sort of special property that could potently help you heal faster if you were injured.

random1: 1d10 ⇒ 4
random2: 1d10 ⇒ 9
random3: 1d10 ⇒ 3

On the 2nd night of traveling further please make Perception checks!

I'm going to take 3 wax balls of food.

Perception: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4) + 1 = 7

Manu takes 2 water balls and 1 honey ball.

Perception: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 2) = 11

I'll take 3 water.

Perception 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1, 4) + 2 = 8

On your second day from the Bee Hive you travel through a hilly area and Manu you smell something different in the air. Non humanoid, sorta feline type smell.

Manu crouchs into a more combative stance looking all around and gets a obsidian sword in his hand. "There is something here that stalks this place...it smells like a cat thing." He speaks as his eyes scan the immediate terrain looking for advantages or hiding places.

You catch the glimpse of medium sized cats with yellowish-brown fur and whitish undersides. There appear to be 5 of them and were attempting to flank your group to pounce as you were meant to be surprised!

Please roll init!

"Smell? Are you sure it's not m...." Davros says before seeing Manu with sword in hand.

Davros scrambled for his crossbow upon seeing Manu ready for a fight.

Init: 6d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 5, 6, 6, 2) = 30

Wild die: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Init: 3d6 - 1 ⇒ (3, 4, 4) - 1 = 10 (Weapon penalty only -1)

P.S. I think you guys are forgetting the -2 init penalty from your weapons. Love, Manu

Yes don't forget your init penalty for weapons -2 for crossbow and -2 for the sword (-1 for Manu cuz he's gladiator).

Let the fun begin!

Tagster1 - 11
Tagster3 - 11
Manu - 10
Tagster2 - 9

Who said anything about using a weapon? My Init should be 20 as I will be using powers...

OK! Your up second then. Just an FYI drawing weapon requires action during combat so second action to attack with it would be -1D and init drop by 2 if that first cat is still alive else doesn't make much difference.

Davros haphazardly shoots at two closet felines.

Crossbow att 1: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 6) = 21

Wild die: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Wild die: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Crossbow dmg 1: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 4) + 1 = 17

I can daze this feline right?

Crossbow att2: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6, 1) = 15

Crossbow dmg 2: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 3) + 1 = 15

Tydus expands his mental powers to place all of the threatening felines to sleep.

Slumber 5d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3, 5, 5, 3) + 2 = 22

Davros takes a shot and quickly reloads taking another like nothing you have ever seen before sticking 2 arrows into the closest cat!

Tagster5 Might -1D: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8
The first cat appears to be dazed by the first arrow and 2nd arrow sticks it good as well!
It's Wounded and Stunned for the round.

Tagster5 Psion Resist: 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 5, 2) + 1 = 10

You see 3 of the cats just slump over and go to sleep when Tydus stares at the pride!

Tagers3, 4 and 5 are out cold for an hour unless they are woken up somehow.

Tagster1 lunges at the biggest opponent it see Manu raking with both claws!
brawling1: 5d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4, 4, 5, 6) + 1 = 23
