Game Master Vuvu

Duhwoo sez:

"duh, whut if'n we closes up th' chain, so it's a kinda circle or somethin' -- an' then we ourse'fs kneels insida that thar ring we done made o' th' chain? Or make a pose like one o' them dolly's? Supp-lee-caints to meet th' banished queen kinda thing?"

"It is a reasonable guess, Master McKeener. We have labored long to solve this riddle. Given the nature of this tower, it seems likely completing this ritual will take us to somewhere else - maybe somewhere timeless, a "stitch in time". I conclude, then, that perhaps spending but two more hours so that Mistress Avoreal, Master Foehammer and myself may regain our magical energies would be wise. Perhaps Master Foehammer could prepare a planar shift, just in case."

"If the one chain is the key to getting in, then taking it with us while we rest should make us the first ones there. "

"Unless they've already used the other chain to go wherever it takes you."

"I guess there was a missing chain. Why the heck would there be 2 keys though? "

I feel like everyone stares at duhwoo for the answer

Also wouldn't you all have to wait 8 hours for uninterrupted rest?

Depends on if they have something along the lines of rings of sustenance.

I guess if it was a demanding 7 hours of sitting around talking about the riddle, then no that portion wouldn't be considered rest. I'm not terribly committed to the idea. It would simply be nice not to be on the hairy edge of resource depletion.

but it wasn't, it was 2 hours talking about the riddle, then fighting then 5 hours pondering the riddle, then remembering the chains, then getting the chains now you are back.

not trying to be a a-hole but if time is important i have to keep us on track with it.

you might be ahead of the game, or you might be behind the game or maybe it doesn't really matter at all, i can't say for sure

I personally think we're behind and should just push on without spell reset..

Darvik has thrown 4 spells. I am down to 2 Blessings of Fervor. I don't care either way.

You've only cast 6 spells since we started all this? We haven't rested and regained since we started the module..

4 spells. Remember the massive number of scrolls I carry? That's exactly why. Nobody can carry enough spells to get through one of these things without resting, we weren't supposed to rest because we're in a hurry.

Yea i spent all my cash on items.. I still have quite abit of casting power though..

Well, Duhwoo has used half his spell slots, and all his rounds of Bardic Performance -- but he don't care none 'bout that! Let's go!

Oh hell, the bardbarian is out of spells, we're spent!

ok Where do you go to make your chain ring, then tell me exactly what each of you does. It is very important that you are specific with what you do, do not make any assumptions, if youdont say it you don't do it.

The moment you move within 30 feet the tracks start to move

we already know about the proximity before the clock rings activate, so Duhwoo is careful to stay 35' away. He lays the 27-link chain out on the ground, 35' directly in front of the clock, and pulls the ends around into a circle. He fusses with it a bit, trying to make it a perfect circle -- but it doesn't take long for him to give up!

Then he uses his wand to summon an air elemental, and speaks to it in his recently acquired language (auran) -- telling it to step into the circle, and pose like one of the statues (he demonstrates the pose).

Nothing happens

Vars will wait around getting bored out of his skull.

"Let us move closer to the clock's magic and try again, Master McKeener." Lithuna will move closer to the clock. He then repeats the activity: placing the doll, circling it with a chain, and then walking in the circle.

How close do you move Lithuan?

As soon as Lithuan moves within 30 the statue process begins again

Duhwoo will help Lithuan set up the chain and hurry the process up, so the archer can step into the circle before the statues disrupt the process.

if wo helps it can be a standard action sure

Fifteen feet I suppose.

so with your standard and moves you get to 15 feet away and have made a loop of chain, that is as close to a perfect circle as you can.

avoreal, darvik and vars?

As I said, watching while bored to tears. If statues need to be beat down, he'll do it, but will wait to see if they get their idea implemented first.

Cars moves and readies and attack if someone approaches

Avreol will move to help Lithuan with the circle..

Nothing to help w the chain do you do something else?

Watch I suppose..

don't want to do anything with one or more doll?

Darvik moves to a position that will allow him to block statues from getting to the people dealing with the chain on the other side of those people from where Vars is and readies an action of attacking anything that attacks any of the party.

Woo and Lithuan make a perfect circle with the chain 15 feet away, Avoreal supervises. Vars and Darvik form a barrier which is good because two statues move out of the tower and attack

2d20 ⇒ (12, 13) = 25 or they would had our heroes not won the init.

Go you do note that the statue bases are still moving

map updated shortly

"Perhaps a doll is required for each of us.."

I don't believe I can change a readied action. If I can change a readied action, I throw freedom of movement on Vars.

If I can't change a readied action:
to hit: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (6) + 25 = 31 damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
to hit: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (17) + 25 = 42 damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
to hit: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28 damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
to hit: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20 damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

you can't change a readied action. But you attack goes off you can throw a freedon of movement on you round which is now

Assuming I have an adjacent target
power attack.
to hit: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (4) + 28 = 32 damage: 1d8 + 29 ⇒ (5) + 29 = 34
to hit: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39 damage: 1d8 + 29 ⇒ (7) + 29 = 36
to hit: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38 damage: 1d8 + 29 ⇒ (4) + 29 = 33
to hit: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26 damage: 1d8 + 29 ⇒ (1) + 29 = 30

Vars destroys one Darvik heavily damages his

I believe my readied action is all the actions I get this round.

"Mebbe so, Miss Starseeker!"

Duhwoo carefully positions 4 more dolls in the circle, so there's one to represent each party member.

Darvik your ready went off when they came out of the clock. hen you won initiative so you also have your round to act.

So Duhwoo, places one doll for each person into the circle. That leaves others to act still.

Ah! Got it! I don't think Darvik has ever gotten a surprise round before.

Freedom of Movement on Vars.

so in that case you only got one attack on the creature, so you lightly damage it, since your readied action is only one attack

liithuan still has an action

So I'm in the chain circle with the doll? I guess I'll try kneeling (supplicant's position?) while holding the statue.

Lithuan kneels and grabs the statue.

You are outside the circle woo has put 1 statue for wach person inside the circle

Lithuan steps inside the circle and grabs a statue.

The remaining statue attacks and misses while two more move I to the door

Nothing happens at the doll chain ring maybe the wrong position
