Xyro's Falcon Hallow Campaign

Game Master xyrophobic

Jonas, agreeing with Stinky's idea that someone should keep an eye on the rear heads toward the doorway and faces out towards the courtyard, his eyes darting left and right for any ambushes. He still holds the lantern/menacingly above his head.

Perception 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (5) - 3 = 2

Stinky watches Jonas as he bravely looks out over the courtyard, looking menacing with his deadly lantern. "Err, Jonas, who's looking after them going up that set of stairs then? I thought you was? Errm, do ya wanna help 'em?"

Layf begins up the stairs which have rotted throughout time. A few steps up the entire staircase comes crashing down on top of him. 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12 damage reflex for half1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19, success! 6 damage to Layf and you are prone.

That is when Dug and Layf see the spider lurking above them ready to pounce, Dug looses his arrow and misses the target.

init

Init 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Dug knocks and looses another arrow, while shouting "Shtinky, get Layf clear!!!"

Attack 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 4

If, of course, Layf is still laying there when my Init comes around, other wise will just shoot the spider :)

With the sound of the crashing staircase, Stinky turns round and sees the monster above. He lets loose a crossbow bolt at the beast.

Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Light Crossbow 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 +1 if less than 30ft.
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 6

Seeing the spider poised right above him Layf jumps up with as much alacrity as possible.

If when he stands Layf is not directly underneath the spider and if the spider is in range then stays where he is at and attacks.

Initiative:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Attack:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Damage:2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 6) + 4 = 12

If the spider can fall directly on Layf or is out of range I will take a second move action to get in position to attack the spider next round.

Holy Crap two crit fails in a row!!

Hearing the commotion Edward draws his club while moving into the room searching for the source of excitement. If the spider is within striking distance from the ground he continues moving to within melee range and attacks and commands charcoal to attack.
Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

If the spider is within striking distance of the ground:
Edward's Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Edward's Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Edward's Handle Animal 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Charcoal's Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Charcoal's Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Initiative:1d20+5
Attack:1d20+4
Damage:2d6+4

Holy Crap two crit fails in a row!!

On the bright side the law of averages says that you'll be due 2 crit successes when we really need them....if only the dice gods really did work that way.

all praise to teh dice gods

The spider seeing what appears to be an injured meal lunges forward and sinks its fangs into Layf's leg
1d6 ⇒ 1 damage, 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 fort save: Fail 1d2 ⇒ 1 STR damage from poison
Stinkey turns round and sees the monster above. He lets loose a crossbow bolt at the beast. but misses it trying not to hit Layf.
Dug knocks and looses another arrow also missing trying to avoid Layf, while shouting "Shtinky, get Layf clear!!!"
Edward steps up swinging his weapon at the spider but misses him, shouts for charcoal to attack whose bite lands on one of the spider's 8 legs.
Layf thinks about getting up but decides to attack from the ground missing the spider and nearly connecting with Edward. too many if statements in your action so I left you on the ground, also saves you from a AoO. the spider is on the wall right above you and threatens your square.
Jonas, unaware of the chaos happening just behind him sees charcoal run by him into the room and thinks, "where is he going" action Jonas? probably glad you were not the one munched on first this time.

waiting on Jonas, but lets get actions for next round. the room is awfully tight with the boxes, creatures, and webs so everyone in the room loses dex to AC (up to a -2 AC) as long as there are more than 3 creatures in the room, the spider counts toward that number.
For Layf:

Dug takes his free hand and grabs the closest part of layf, and begins to drag him towards the door, pushing Stinky out of the way if needed "Shorry Shtinky, Trying to make shome room."

Stinky, seeing Dug struggle to get Layf out, decides to help him as best he can, dropping his crossbow and using both his hands to help and drag layf towards the door. Stinky will go outside as he pulls Layf. "'Scuse me jonas, Just helping Layf get through, he's had a bit of a fall. And the big spider didn't help either, bit his leg it did."

Edward continues swinging at the spider, and tries to distract it from Layf. Charcoal continues attacking the spider.

Edward's Attack:
Club(1-handed):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9:1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Charcoal's Full Attack:
Bite:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8:1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Claw:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11:1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Claw:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7:1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Jonas looks perplexedly as Charcoal charges past him and Dug and Stinky suddenly appear to be dragging Layf out from the tower.

Initiative 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (6) - 3 = 3
Might as well delay me until the last action since I didnt hear what was going on, but rolled init anyway.

Jonas spots that Layf has been attacked! He drops his deadly lantern and goes to work summoning what healing energies he has to try to help.

Cure Light Wounds heals Layf for1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Jonas looks perplexedly as Charcoal charges past him and Dug and Stinky suddenly appear to be dragging Layf out from the tower.

Initiative 1d20-3

Jonas spots that Layf has been attacked! He drops his deadly lantern and goes to work summoning what healing energies he has to try to help.

Cure Light Wounds heals Layf for1d8+1

make that heal for 5 pts. In the future all cure spells with be 1d4+4+level as usual. I am tired of seeing 2 pts heals. So the range will be CLW (5-8)+CL (max 5). The same applies to Faysal in the other game Dug.

Jonas looks perplexedly as Charcoal charges past him and Dug and Stinky suddenly appear to be dragging Layf out from the tower.

This made me laugh

The spider lunges again at Layf barely missing with his large dripping fangs.
Dug takes his free hand and grabs the closest part of layf, and begins to drag him towards the door, pushing Stinky out of the way if needed "Shorry Shtinky, Trying to make shome room."
Stinky, seeing Dug struggle to get Layf out, decides to help him as best he can, dropping his crossbow and using both his hands to help and drag layf towards the door. Stinky will go outside as he pulls Layf. "'Scuse me jonas, Just helping Layf get through, he's had a bit of a fall. And the big spider didn't help either, bit his leg it did."
Edward and charcoal continue to attack the spider but are unsuccessful.
Layf now pulled clear of the spider's reach stands up and prepares to slay the vermin. fort save:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 = fail 1d2 ⇒ 2 STR damage.
Jonas looks perplexedly as Charcoal charges past him and Dug and Stinky suddenly appear to be dragging Layf out from the tower.
He spots that Layf has been attacked and drops his deadly lantern and goes to work summoning what healing energies he has to try to help.

After pulling Layf free, Dug draws his great axe and grimly eyes the spider. "I HATE SHPIDERSHH!!!!!"

Doesn't look like he can charge, so Dug just walks up and whacks the critter. Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15, Damage 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Edward and Charcoal continue their assault on the eight-legged beast.

Edward's Attack:
Club(1-handed): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 : 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Charcoal's Full Attack:
Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 : 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 : 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 : 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Edit: Roll to confirm crit:
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Stinky looks down at the recovering Layf, You all right now?, he turns to Jonas and says, "Well, my oh my, you have the healing talent, just like my brother, must get to know you when all this is done."
Stinky, turns and stays in the doorway, looking at the continuing fight. Ready to jump in and...jump in and...he scratches his head and thinks about it a while, "I wish I hadn't dropped my crossbow, now. Hmm and too close for a bomb." He takes out his vial of potion and fingers it nervously.

Jonas helps Layf to his feet, well as much as a small gnome can... it was more for moral support. His eyes dart about rapidly, almost in a panic as he tries to decipher what the source of all this commotion is in his little silent world. Doing so he spots the spider, and happens to catch Stinky talking to him. He pauses and stares at the other gnome trying to read his fast talking...

"Your brover talks to the stawrs too?!.... Wonderfu!"

Jonas then abruptly turns his attention towards the battle at hand. He quickly rummages a dagger out of his pack, screams some sort of blood curdling yelp of a warcry and with a crazy look and wide eyes he heaves it at the vermin!

Attack with Thrown Dagger 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 4 = 1(-4 cover? Not sure of the map at the moment.)

Sorry the internet has been down in my room for the past couple of days

"Thanks for the help Jonas. I think the bleeding has stopped, but I'm feeling kind of sick and weak. Anything you can do with that?" With that Layf steps forward and attacks the spider.

Attack:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Damage:2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 = 11

Edward contemplates whether Charcoal will need that spider gore wiped off later, or if she will be able to clean herself sufficiently...

The spider, seeing it's dinner drug away decides to settle for the fury little treat to it's side. Driving it's fangs into Charcoal 1d6 ⇒ 5 damage. I need a fort save for charcoal vs poison
After pulling Layf free, Dug draws his great axe and grimly eyes the spider. "I HATE SHPIDERSHH!!!!!" he says as he walks up and brings his axe down between the spider's many eyes.
Stinky looks down at the recovering Layf, You all right now?, he turns to Jonas and says, "Well, my oh my, you have the healing talent, just like my brother, must get to know you when all this is done."
Stinky, turns and stays in the doorway, looking at the continuing fight. Ready to jump in and...jump in and...he scratches his head and thinks about it a while, "I wish I hadn't dropped my crossbow, now. Hmm and too close for a bomb." He takes out his vial of potion and fingers it nervously.
Edward and Charcoal continue their assault on the eight-legged beast. Starting with Edward missing it with his club. Charcoal a little miffed by the bite he just suffered proceeds to shred the spider into a fine mist that falls harmlessly down on all in the room.
Layf steps up to strike the spider in time to see it explode. 1d2 ⇒ 2 STR damage.
Jonas helps Layf to his feet, well as much as a small gnome can... it was more for moral support. His eyes dart about rapidly, almost in a panic as he tries to decipher what the source of all this commotion is in his little silent world. Doing so he spots the spider, and happens to catch Stinky talking to him. He pauses and stares at the other gnome trying to read his fast talking...

"Your brover talks to the stawrs too?!.... Wonderfu!"

Jonas then abruptly turns his attention towards the battle at hand. He quickly rummages a dagger out of his pack, screams some sort of blood curdling yelp of a warcry and with a crazy look and wide eyes he heaves it at the vermin only to see the spider no longer there in a solid form.

Charcoal's Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Edit: Wow, now that's a save.

"Hey Jonas or Stinky, I'm really not feeling well! I feel like I am getting weaker and weaker. Either of you have anything for that?"

Stinky looks up from starting to search the goo and ichor of the exploding spider. Well, I do have this potion, its very good for mending broken bones, deep scars and flesh wounds. Not sure about what else it might help with though. You're more than welcome to try it if you want, its the potion I made up this morning.

potion of cure light wounds.

After makign sure Layf is being tended to as well as possible, dug re-enters the building, and searches the first florr for anything useful.

Perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16.

Both Layf and Charcoal save. The poison has no new effects on them. Though Layf still has a -5 to STR.

After makign sure Layf is being tended to as well as possible, dug re-enters the building, and searches the first florr for anything useful.

Perception 1d20+6.

The boxes are mostly broken and decayed though in one of them you find a masterwork great sword and strange piece of carved wood wrapped in an oily cloth.

Um, can I get a more elaborate image of "the wood" please?

the wood is short but thick. for someone in the know it kinda looks like a wand.

Edward wipes some of the spider gore off of Charcoal and after inspecting her wounds waves his hands over it while calling on natural energies to heal her wounds.
Cure Light Wounds: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Then he looks around for any threats outside or a way upstairs.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Dug points it away from the rest of the group, and attempts to make it work. UMD 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Stinky, puts the potion away and thinks a moment, before he steps gingerly into the room, where the remains of the spider are splattered across the chamber. "Hmm, now that's interesting, I must be able to find something useful in the midst of all this ichor and gore. Maybe even find a poison sack of two. Gosh, its exciting stuff being with these fellas." Stinky starts to methodically go through the remains of the spider, picking up useful bits and pieces that might just go into a potion or two, but keeping a special eye out for the poison sacs. His arms and hands are coloured green and get covered in gore and bits of dead spider as he sifts the remains.

"Are you OK now, thah's good. Have you seen all this, wow now this will really help, don't get the chance to do this on a big spider like this very often."

Perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 to find poison sacs

"Shtinky, thatsh grosh..."

"Shtinky, thatsh grosh..."

"No really, it all helps", as he smiles and chuckles to himself at Dug's squeamishness, thinking after all that Dug had done to defeat this black eight legged monster. Hee Hee Hee

Edward wipes some of the spider gore off of Charcoal and after inspecting her wounds waves his hands over it while calling on natural energies to heal her wounds.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d4+5
Then he looks around for any threats outside or a way upstairs.
Perception: 1d20+5

The top of the structure seems crumbled and the stairs were the only way save climbing the bare stone.

nothing happens if the stick had eyes they would be looking at you saying "what?"

Perception 1d20+6 to find poison sacs

You find a partially ruptured sac that still has 2 doses left, though you would need a container to store them.

Stinky scrambles through his backpack, hands moving things from one place to another in a chaotic dance of items. At the same time he is heard mumbling and increasingly grumbling into his bag. "OK, where are you, I'm sure you're in here somewhere.....oh I hope I didn't...oh no I think I did!!....oh you stupid gnome!!..I really don't believe it, idiot!!!" He looks up from his bag, "Anyone got a clean flask I could borrow...seems I forgot to bring mine from the shop!..If you do it'll make us some money, or maybe we could use it in any sorting any problems we might fall into?"

Dug tries to activate the wand again. UMD 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

If it still doesn't work, he hands it off to Edward.

"Shink the bear can give me a boosht?" Dug asks Edward, gesturing towards the upper level.

Dug tries to activate the wand again. UMD 1d20+4

If it still doesn't work, he hands it off to Edward.

"Shink the bear can give me a boosht?" Dug asks Edward, gesturing towards the upper level.

The wand still doesn't work. The trapdoor above is about 20' up and the floor looks pretty flimsy if you could even get there.

"Hmmm, that may not be a very good idea Dug. Although, if anyone else has a grappling hook, I have some rope." "If not we should probably start searching elsewhere"
Edward contemplates the dead body outside:Did the wounds look like they could have been caused by the spider?

Edward contemplates the dead body outside:Did the wounds look like they could have been caused by the spider?

did you make a heal check before?

Edward finishes a training lesson with Charcoal, and looks around to find Dug and Stinky gone, and Jonas hustling over the wall of the ruins. Edward calls to Charcoal and quickly goes to investigate. When he sees the body he carefully examines it to determine a possible cause of death.

Acrobatics: 1d20-4
Heal: 1d20+1
Perception: 1d20+5

The heal result was a 19.

thought you had, it appears that it was eaten by something with fangs though probably not a spider.

"Sowwy Wayf, I don't know how to cuure poisons."

Jonas replies with a frown after retrieving his errant dagger.

"No worries, thanks anyway Jonas. I think the worst has passed, I am just feeling really weak. Well this building has been a laugh a second . . . should we move on to the next one?" Layf says as he starts heading north across the court yard. "I'll go in first again, Dug, Edward, and Charcoal yall are right behind me, right?"

Edward nods. "You sure you want to do that? You seem a bit under the weather."
