PFS Module Master of the Fallen Fortress with GM Deadly Secret (Inactive)

Game Master Deadly secret

Jayah will put the frog out of its misery with a coup de grace from her scythe.

She searches the room for anything of interest.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Lissi & Jayah don't see anything.

Vanna flicks the frog's guts off her sword and looks around the room, in case of more threats.

perc: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Tiberius feels a bit regretful about killing the frog but he knows something can't be helped.

Vanna notices a small jade statue of an angelic being among the rubbish under a broken table.

Where to now?

Appraise: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Lissi glances at the statue and shrugs. "Pretty," she mumbles, and heads off to check the door on the SE wall for traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

If it's locked, she'll take 20 on the lock for a 26.

Magnu will post up beside the door so nothing jumps out and attacks.

Tiberius follows Magnu to the door and gets ready to enter.

Appraise: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Paltair shrugs and scoops up the statue. "We can always ask someone back at the Lodge if this is worth anything," he says by way of explanation as he readies his shield.

You go to open the last door on this floor and it opens up to the portion of the tower that has fallen. The ceiling above this room is intact however.

To the next floor?

Lissi is ready to head to the next floor. She will actually try to be closer to the front this time. Maybe 2nd or 3rd in line. Crossbow out and loaded.

Onwards and upwards, then. mind your step....not telling if there are any weak spots with this place falling apart. Vanna says as she leads off, trying to find any recent signs of passage.

track: 1d207 ⇒ 119

Jayah is ready to go to the next floor.

pardon my goof earlier..didnt notice it in time to edit it...

track: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

"I'm ready for the next floor."

Tiberius is ready to move.

The four wings of the tower are completely open on this level, forming one great, cross-shaped chamber with arched ceilings. The decayed remnants of a carpet run from the doorways at the end of each wing, meeting in the center, where a spiral staircase drops out of sight below. A large, throne-like chair stands in the middle of the eastern wing next to a big chest.

The ceiling is 20 feet high in this room; it is dimly lit by the daylight shining through the archways. This is low light setting. If you don’t have low-light or darkvision, you will need to roll concealment with each attack.

When you first enter, a troglodyte stands at the eastern archway, gazing longingly at the city in the distance. He turns as he notices your party making their way up the stairs. He gives out orders to attack, you turn and look to see a crocodile.

You are going up a stairwell, spiralling in a counterclockwise direction. Vanna is in the front and is at the top, Lissi is last and still further down the stairs. Please keep this in mind when routing your movement.
