Wrath of the Righteous- Beer and Pretzels (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

Once the group all meet up again, Xandarian channels energy once more.
Channel energy: 1d6 ⇒ 3
"I'm really starting to lick the bar counter for healing now, boys and girls. One more channel, one more cure spell, and I'm spent."

"Thanks Xan, those rats really did a number on me earlier...."

Opening the door:

This large chamber must have once been a cistern for the sewer system. Walls made of identical stone blocks hold up a lofty ceiling reinforced with elegant stone arches, while the center of the room contains a more recent-looking structure made of brick walls that reach from floor to ceiling.

Uelarik moves in behind Tanrov and scans the room. "A maze! Well, it appears we are the rats now."

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

"This could be some good fortune", posed Xandarian. "We might be at foundation level, very close to the surface"

Kevin moves into the room and looks around. "It looks like there is only one way into the maze. Shall I go first?"

"I suspect another of the perpetual ambushes, so be careful."

Figure out your order heading into the maze. Not that there will be an ambush or anything. Nope no siree.

Placed my icon at the beginning of the maze.

Tanrov will follow Kevin earthbreaker at the ready

"Feel free your armouredness."

Uelarik will bring up the rear.

Middle. Where all good clerics should be..or is it the wizard?

If someone else carries Sleeping Beauty, Marcus would love beaing the spearhead. Failing that, he takes the middle with Xandy McBeerlove

"I will carry the burden Marcus, you have done your fair share of the boring carrying, I can have a go for a while."

Tanrov puts away his earthbreaker then takes the woman from Marcus and moving back and out of the way of the front runners

"Covering the back...."

Uelarik defers his rear guard position to Molitor and accepts an inglorious position in the middle.

Clankmaster Kevin, on point goes wander into the maze, and gets snuck up on by a few nasty looking bloated demony thingies.

They both get in and attack with surprise.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 20 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 hit

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 5 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 miss

confirm: 1d20 ⇒ 16 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 yes

And then something else gets a spell off generating a bunch of foul vapors which make everyone sick to their stomach.

Everyone but Molitor needs to make a fortitude save DC 13 or be nauseated.

init: 1d20 ⇒ 12

"Do I smell something......?"

initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

BTW, it is a poison effect if that matters to your character.

Kevin is surprised by the attacks on him and retaliates by attacking the ONE on his left. "Oh my god! What stinks?"

+1 Scimitar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

+1 Scimitar Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

If by some chance it drops he steps into it's place.

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Since the fort save had to come before the attack, the 20 goes there, and you don't crit (as you could not have attacked had you failed the save).

The 13+5 for the attack does land.

Also forgot to bot Tanrov.

init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

"Oi Kevin, you are blocking the way!" says the guardsman as he looks around for any spot he can occupy to punch the enemies hard.

Requesting a description of the maze and its walls so I know if it's feasible at all to climb them or something or else I'll have to wait until Kevin goes down to try my luck.

There is a description posted above which answers your question. While it would be shorter for me to actually answer the question instead of being difficult, I prefer to be difficult and make you look because you didn't read it first pass.

no need to bot me i'm still here til 12 + hours from now

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Fort.save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 And Xandarian is puking.

There is a description posted above which answers your question. While it would be shorter for me to actually answer the question instead of being difficult, I prefer to be difficult and make you look because you didn't read it first pass.

And you'd be right by being difficult. I somehow passed over the post, now I know better... it's 'waiting for the paladin to win or die' time!"

Still waiting on init from Xan and Jayna, er I mean Uelarik.

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

"That didn't hurt it nearly as much as it should have. What are these things?" Kevin calls out.

Kn: Planes: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

You firmly believe them to be fart demons.

Fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11; nauseated
Init: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

"Go team!" Molitor shouts from the back.

The fart demons attack Kevin, because he smells too pretty.

(claw, claw, bite for each)

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 13 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 miss
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 10 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 miss
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 20 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 hit

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 4 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 miss
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 14 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 miss
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 7 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 miss

confirm: 1d20 ⇒ 18 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 confirms

PCs are up.

Realizing that things are getting bad, Kevin calls out and smites the demon that he attacked previously, "Die foul fart demon!"

+1 Scimitar: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 = 21 Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 4 = 10

Forgot that your weapon was cold iron (you might want to mention that when fighting demons). Between the two blows the demon goes down.

I'll assume you move up.

Yes, Kevin moves up and I'll try to mention it. Wasn't certain what would get through their DR.

Yes, you failed the knowledge check so I wasn't going to tell you.

Tanrov placesvthe burden on the ground ready to punch if needed.

" Go Kevin!

Fort save I forgot last round: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Marcus pukes a bit and then a lot more. In between gross puking, the guardsman says "Someone take my place, goddammit!"

Uelarik tries to stop himself from retching. "The proper terminology is flatulence fiends."

He then pokes his head around the corner and hits #2 with a magic missile.

MM: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

You cannot to anything but move actions while nauseated.

Also note, that a save is required every round (until you fail at which point you start puking and keep puking until out of the cloud for a while). .

Ah yes, just caught that ... never mind on the spell.

Fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2; puking

Remember if you have failed the save, staying in the cloud means you remain nauseated.

"Don't some of you folks have magic dragon scales that make demon's wilt or somethin'?" Molitor asks as he readies his axe.

Attempting Fort. Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

I think people aren't understanding how this spell works. One more time. If you are in the area of affect and fail the save, you are nauseated. You stay nauseated for the duration of you being in the area of effect with no more saves.

Hence these people are presently nauseated and will remain so if they are within the drawn circle:
Xan
Uelarik
Marcus

once they get clear of the area of effect, they will remain nauseated for
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 rounds.

Those within the cloud who are not already nauseated (Tanrov and Kevin) have to continue making saves each round. It is a poison type effect so any resistance or such will work to your advantage.

Jeez! Xandarian gets the hell out of there.

Tanrov drops the woman in the gas circle and then draws his earthbreaker and syeps past uelarik, trying to find Marcus to replace him

Even with the cloud oscuring you, you should be able to advance past Marcus the queasy, and take the spot next to Kevin. It will be a double move.

I do that then

"I'm here Marcus, hurry up and stop puking so I can play nursemaid again. as he steps past Marcus
