Tanrov will move past his companions and swing for less than the fences at number 2
"Yes!!
It worked. Dead geek, er I mean cultist.
Assuming the cultists are all dead, Uelarik will search the bodies and will detect magic.
There were 3 cultists up here. One ran downstairs, while Marcus is in pursuit (but well behind him).
Searching the bodies and detecting magic will take a couple rounds.
"Follow Marcus!"
Marcus rushes down stairs in pursuit, with the rest of you hot on his trail.
This semicircular room is empty except for a few bookshelves against the walls and a single desk and chair sit in one corner. A huge set of wood and metal double doors stands in the south wall.
Th cultist yells about intruders as he rushes down the stairs, and turns to fight once he gets to the bottom.
In the basement you see a tiefling dressed in clothing. Once he sees Marcus he stares at him in a malevolent fashion.
DC 16 will save or Marcus falls asleep.
PCs are up.
Tanrov charges the tiefling
"It seems step cousin, a hammer to the face will hopefully dissuade you from your demon worshipping ways."
You didn't look at the map did you?
You are going down a curved set of stairs into the basement. There is no way to do a charge attack. At the base of the stairs is the guard who came downstairs to warn the tiefling.
You can smack the guy at the base of the stairs though. That is enough to make him collapse in a heap.
However he did have a readied action, so he will try to do something before getting splatted.
hit
then he goes down.
Kevin moves down the stairs as far as he can shouting at Marcus as he goes by, "Wake Up! Now isn't the time for a nap!"
Uelarik double moves into the room and takes cover behind a desk with his crossbow ready.
Xandarian rushes over to Tanrov and hits him with a cure light wounds.
"Thankyou Xan for compensating for my foolish bloodlust, Pharasma slap me I need to be more aware a dead servant of the grey lady is useless."
and then he sighs in relief
The baddie tries his trick on Kevin since he's now closest.
DC 16 will or naptime.
PCs are up.
Uelarik fires on the tiefling.
Tanrov will move up to no.2 guy and whack him with the Earthbreaker
"Let's try that going to sleep trick on you friend."
You both miss.
Kevin moves up to the tiefling and says "Nice try. Now meet my magic." as he swings his scimitar at him.
miss
Molitor moves into hand to hand range with the bad guy.
Macus is still napping, Xan is up.
Xandarian runs up the stairs to catch his magically-induced sleepy friend. The cleric then takes out his waterskin and attempts to wake the brawler up by pouring water on his face.
You can move up to and wake him by shaking him vigorously. That will be your round.
Since the baddie lacks places to move and safely cast, he'll try the sleep thing on Molitor. DC 16 will save.
PCs are up.
Still fighting off the attempt to put him to sleep, Kevin swings and misses the tiefling again.
Conserving his few remaining spells, Uelarik fires on the tiefling again with his crossbow.
I see your plan now, you are all trying to miss him repeatedly to give him a false sense of security.
Tanrov takes a 5 ft step to be flanking the witch and uses studied target on him.
He goes to say something then remembers
you forgot to confirm
"Ooooh! I bet that smarts!"
Splat, combat over.
Snooze time.
"May the Lady of Graves judge this poor quickly departing soul justly." he cannot help but have a smirk on his face, who knew they guy would basically step into the path of his swing like that.
"May your benevolent light prevent me from reaching your domain until my deestined time."
He casts cure light wounds on himself
Kevin calls out to Xan "Did you wake up Molitor yet? He missed all the fun down here it looks like. Help us search this place." Kevin then proceeds to look for anything of interest in the room.
You search the body (nothing else of note in here, though given that role, something could be hidden).
12 +1 bolts
+1 bracers of armor (why?)
+1 cloak of resistance
60 GP
key
There is a door in the south wall.
"Why am I the designated 'waker-upper'?" Xandarian walks over to the half-orc and flicks Molitor's nose with his fingers.
As you are wearing armor, the bracers won't do you any good.
Tanrov will take the key.. "When we are ready i'll try the key on the door."
|
Marcus stretches as he stands up "What a jolly good dream. I was Chief Officer and the Clowner was at large and there were exploions and some strange rods that fired strange little metal arrows."
Marcus looks around and asks "Did we win? Great. I feel refreshed, chop chop! The evildoers won't kill themselves!"
Uelarik helps search the area.
You find no more than the oblivious paladin.
Molitor records the loot in his journal and takes a look around.
(+1 for traps)
Other than the cleverly concealed door in plain sight on the south wall with a keyhole that screams "KEY!" you find nothing of interest.
"I think Tanrov should try the door."
I try the key in the door
In a shocking coincidence the key unlocks the door.
This semicircular room has been outfitted with numerous demonic decorations. The green glass lanterns hanging on the walls give the room an eerie glow. A brazen minotaur head hangs from one wall above an altar covered with wavy-bladed knives and curved bulls’ horns, while star-shaped symbols in red decorate other walls. A large wooden chest sits near the west wall.
In a shocking coincidence the key unlocks the door.
"What a lovely little get-away", spoke Xandarian flatly. "Fu<king demon cultist..by Cayden's Ballsack, I need a drink!"
"How do you know for certain it's a minotaur's head and not just a metal cow?"
Search for traps.
