Year of the Risen Rune PbP (Inactive)

Game Master DaWay

Shall we pick one and see what happens?

That would appear to be the only likely course.

Seoni nods and makes sur mage amor and shield are up.

Just to be clear, you are no longer ascending the spire you are in some sort of runevault.

So where to?

Thoth inspects the north for traps then leads.

perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

"This way."

The walls and floor of this square chamber are fashioned from massive blocks of stone, and the room is laid out like a small shrine; across from the entrance stands a low table bearing a stack of reddish metal plates stacked in a loose pile. A luxurious carpet bearing geometric designs stretches across the middle of the room. In the rug’s center is a three-foot-high marble pedestal holding a dark polished stone sphere. Thassilonian script of inlaid gold encircles the sphere at its base.

Seoni just looks around where she stands and again casts detect magic. Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Is the script readable?

it is barely. Can I get a linguistics roll due to the decay of the script.

Linguistics + Arc Luck: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 1 = 27

Thoth knows Thassilonian if it helps at all.

Do the plates look like "durable, well-crafted, and roughly parchment-sized tablets bearing ritual instructions"

“I proclaim my eternal devotion to the everlasting realm of Haruka, to the power of sloth, and to my runelord. I shall use the powers over my servitors to serve greatest Krune.”

Thoth I need an honest answer here. Would you have touched the base while reading the badly damaged script?

Yes. Thoth would have dusted it off to get a better look at the script but not before casting detect magic.

It radiates a moderate conjuration.

I definitely do not accept, and will have it removed like the bad tramp stamp it is after the adventure.

Where to next?

The sihedronbranf emanates from the rune plates you have been looking for. I am assuming you grab them.

Yeah into the haversack with them I suppose.

So this is part of what we came for or do we need to keep exploring this place?

"I think that's what we need ..."

You have fufilled the tenants of your mission but there remain two unexplored areas of the Runevault. Or do you wish to head back through the doorway?

Quelion looks at the acquired items, and then sighs. "Much of a waste of time as this whole ordeal has been, we should probably scout through the rest. Just to be sure."

Agreed, lets leave no stone unturned. We don't want the cult of Lissala to grab something here

Seoni nods, "yes, let's move on!"

"Let's scour this room, then head back through the East passage ..."

Fine.

So the E passage or the W passage?

Thoth begins heading towards the E door, Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22 looking for any traps.

This tunnel's walls mimic the other rooms’ melted appearance, though these are somewhat smoother and are dark gray with flecks of green.

Thoth misses a trap as he heads down the corridor, looking down when he should have looked up and is immediately beset upon by a gelatinous cube.

6d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 3, 1, 5, 4) = 22 And engulfed unless a DC 20 reflex is made for half and avoidance of the engulf.

Initiatiaves and actions please.

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

The reflex is just for thoth.

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Blast

Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Algar first action is to Cast a spell (shillelagh) and move up toward the creature

Quelion will cast haste and quite prudently stay well away from the damn thing.

initiative: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18

Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

init: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (8) - 5 = 3

Thoth and Seoni your actions please.

How do I escape being enfulfed?

Seoni casts magic missiles 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 1) + 4 = 13 and moves so she cannot be engulfed

init: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Move up and attack

attack 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26, damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
attack Haste: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19, damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
attack 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23, damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Thoth you are engulfed. I need a FORT DC20 to resist the paralysis. You are considered pinned. Every round you will be taking 1d6 acid damage until the cube is destroyed.

Thoth is in the cube
Quelion casts haste.
Algar casts shillelagh
Seoni casts magic missles (13 damage)
Seelah moves up and attacks the cube (42)

Thoth takes 1d6 ⇒ 1 damage
the cube attacks seelah 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 161d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (6) = 12

Pathfinders your up.

attack 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26, damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
attack Haste: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20, damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
attack 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22, damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Round 2

Algar will attack the Cube in order to free the pathfinder

PA Club 1: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 3 = 202d6 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (5, 2) + 7 + 6 = 20

PA Club H: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 3 = 292d6 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 7 + 6 = 21

PA Club 2: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 3 = 262d6 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 7 + 6 = 21

Thoth should be ok as we are going to kill this thing nice and fast.

fort: 1d20 ⇒ 7

As she hacks away Seelah yells, "I've spent my life joking about these things ... but it turns out I know nothing about them. Anyone know their weaknesses?!"

Seelah pays close attention to whether or not her strikes are having an effect ...

Thoth would but he engulfed in his work right now

Seoni casts magic missile 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 4) + 4 = 17

Seelah manages to finish it off Seoni save that spell for later.

COMBAT OVER

"Well that was disgusting. Lady Seelah can you hit me with that special cure mod again. "

Glad to have you back Toth. Algar will cast a CMW: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 6 = 10 on Toth
