Истинные драконы Авессалома (Inactive)

Game Master Auke Teeninga

Unless we spent more than 4 hours travelling and interrogating warmblooded guy, Varanog is still floating using his draconic heritage powers, so he have no problems gliding down there using floating disc

To the North of the cavenis a sturdy wooden scaffold topped with a platform allows access to the edge of a cliff twenty feet above. A ladder ascends the side of the scaffold from the bottom of the cavern.

Fazgyn carefully sneaking around. He waiting patiently for about 20 seconds after Hatts flying down. If nothing dangerous here and no opportunities to quickly create some loud traps available, than he starting to move down, climbing with rope...

-Scalymates! Be slow as jealous cube, but flow as waterr does. Here is my rope and we should leave it here.

climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Fazgyn sneaks around, looking for places to lay down some traps.

"I smell creatures to the North! Maybe the ones that injured the old man. Tricorn Willy says you must slay them before you set traps!"

Varanog moved his floating disc to the stairs and used that to glide over the ladder and check the platform.

Can I move up and see, where the passage goes?

Varanog inspects the portal. It looks recently fabricated and quite sturdy.

Climb DC 0 to move up

- Do not hesitate! Let's go and taste some boiling blood!
Athrax is excitedly waving his bomb ingredients.

Hats swims a bit in the pool.

"Oh! I found some brownies! Any of you want a bite?"

Is that what I am thinking it is?

Is that what I am thinking it is?

Probably

That's sh*t, right?

- Help yourself, I prefer not to fight with a full stomach.

- Help yourself, I prefer not to fight with a full stomach.

"Don't mind if I do!"

Hats fishes something out of the pool and throws it into his maw and chews.

"Hmmm! This one has crunchy bits!"

Meanwhile Fazgyn thinking about alternative ways to move on. He dissapeared from the main group and trying to find less obvious way, exploring south east part of this fetid chamber.

In the south east part of the cave is a tunnel. It's curve makes it impossible to determine to see past the bend.

Varanog spend some time tinkering near the portal and then slipped back.

- Wraith of Lightning awaits those that will dare to pass near there, - he grins.

I'll use my class ability and leave 2 runes at the exit from the portal. One is electrical and another one is acid

Not entirely sure where you want to leave your runes. Can you mark them on the map? (I left two arcane symbols for you! :-) )

Fazgyn moves deeper into the tunnel which turns into a cavern that slopes upward from its southern edge. Three slopes give the chamber a stark slant. The northern edge of the cavern ends in a plateau connected to various side caverns.

Varanoug climbs the scaffold

Suddenly the silence is broken by a terrifying howl!

The dogs massive jaw closes around poor Varanogs leg and is almost torn off and Varanog falls to the ground!

Fazgyn has no option to be behind enemy. So he returned to smoth tunnel exploration. He is readying the shorbow and walking to the north trying to find a prey to cut backstabbing.

Noticing Pethjun is effected by the hounds bay, Skyrahk takes out a scroll of remove fear and casts it on the white scaled fighter.

Hats is still panicked and hides underwater.

How dead is Varanog by now?
- Fall back, Seeker! I don't want to fry you, just yet!

Ready action - when Varanog is out of the bomb's splash radius, throw a bomb at the hound.
Bomb, fire: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 112d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 2) + 3 = 10

Engashez starts a loud song.
- Fight, fight the stupid hound, reap apart the ugly thing!

How dead is Varanog by now?

- Fall back, Seeker! I don't want to fry you, just yet!

Not dead, just hurt (Health-bar should be visible!) and tripped!

Pethjun hesitated for a moment, then she panicked for the next moment, but just before she stop hesitating - she was cured and so she boldly moved further to fight the Hound, dropping the shield and fast climbing the wooden platform... maybe too fast for her skills.

S-should practice more on climbing... Said Pethjun after her failure

Climb (fast): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Actions:
-> Move to platform + sheathe a rapier
-> Drop shield on the ground

As Varanog has a really close look of the hound he tries to recognize the creature from his knowledge.

Varanog identifies the creature as a Shadow Mastiff. Tireless hunters, stealthy trackers, and deadly predators, shadow mastiffs stalk the dark corners of the Outer Planes, preying upon all beings that stray from the light. These beasts have little in common with actual canines aside from their general forms (although with the notable addition of a long, spiked tail), their bodies being the evolution of countless centuries hunting the most merciless wildernesses of the Outer Planes and the Shadow Plane. On the Material Plane, they prefer to travel in shadow, moving soundlessly and unseen to find prey, hunting in vicious sport just as often as in hunger. Shadow mastiffs stand over 4 feet tall, with most weighing nearly 300 pounds. This one however is only a pup!

It has Shadow Blend, so 50% miss chance! and it can Bay to panick creatures.

Varanog was caught by surprise, and in current situation all he could do is hope to win some time.
- I not dead, - he wispered tragically, and than stopped to do anything, trying to lay and convince creature, that he is no treat anymore.

Varanog tries to play dead (rolled horribly in Roll20 for a result of 8).

Sense Motive Onyx Hound: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

The onyx hound doesn't fall for Varanog's trickery and continues his onslaught!

Power attack, prone target

- That doesn't look good. Pethjun, stop playing aroud!

Will drink an extract of spider climb and run up the nearest wall to get a clear sight on the hound.

Skyrahk made a heavy breath, looking on Pethjun.
Then she ran after her.
What's-s going on up there?

Pethjun climbed on the top of a wood construction, and finished her movement near the creature, prepared her rapier while moving

Dice rolls are in roll20: 18 & 19

Varanog's feint didn't worked. The furious creature still was attacking him, but now his friends were nearby. He covered his internal organs and tried to block creatures attack against him.

Full defense, standup (provokes), 5ft step away

Varanog goes down, this time more convincing!

-Rrrr... Pethjun doesn't like that bite

Engashez continues his soul uplifting song.
- Carve it up and munch it fresh, kobold fighting is the best!

NOW I throw a bomb behind the hound.

Bomb throw, 5 splash damage: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Reflex vs Splash: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

To the north Fazgyn sees a the portal! And some enemies, they don't seem to have noticed Fazgyn, but they seem to get ready to fight as they are taking out their weapons.

"Let's see what our guard dog has found!"
