A Push of the Fates.... Zakhara... You Jewel!

Game Master Insnare

First Zairiah goes to the chest to check for traps and there are not any but the chest is locked. Then she moves to the suits of armor which are also not trapped.

Zairiah unlocks the chest.

Open Locks (95%): 1d100 ⇒ 47

As Zairiah picks the lock the two suits of armor come to life.

Initiative:

Party 1d10 ⇒ 1, Enemy 1d10 ⇒ 8

Round 1

Armor 1 attacks Zairiah 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (14) = 1 hit 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

Armor 2 attacks Frackit 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (8) = 7 miss

Party

" Great now living suits of Armor!!" He says as he pulls a dagger and strikes.

Attack: 18 - 1d20 ⇒ 18 - (20) = -2
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Fadilah unleashes the magic missile that she had previously picked up for the undead.

Magic missile damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1, 4) + 3 = 9 (vs. #1)

If anyone is capable of highlighting to Aggrammar these are, or might be golems, he will use his rod of smiting :) How do these things work in 2e, is it a matter of player knowledge, or NWP?

You can give me a wisdom check.

Zairiah could use some healing.

Wisdom (16): 1d20 ⇒ 18

Hahahaha, ok then.

Aggramar steps forward and attacks - "Stand back Zairiah, and recover!"

Scimitar +1: 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (14) = 1
Damage if it hits: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 9

Paritosh, Zairiah and Nura

Round 1

Paritosh moves forward and joins Aggrammar in attacking the same suit of armor...

Khopesh Attack: 16 - 1d20 - 2 - 1 ⇒ 16 - (9) - 2 - 1 = 4 Factor: 9; 3/2
Khopesh Damage: 2d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 + 2 = 9 Type: S

Zairiah withdraws carefully, backing out of melee range into the hall. She can't afford to get hit like that again.

I think Nura might still be on vacation

Nura attacks with her new sword on the one attacking Frackit 13 - 1d20 ⇒ 13 - (18) = -5 hit doing 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Critical strike for Frackit 1d3 ⇒ 3

Paritosh misses, Fadilah's magical missiles strike the armor. Agrammar's attack hits home.

Frackit notices that his attack does not feel like it has done the right amount of damage.

Kamalla attacks the one that Paritosh is attacking 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (11) = 4 miss

Round 2

Initiative Party 1d10 ⇒ 7, Enemy 1d10 ⇒ 8

Armor 1 attacks Agrammar 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (15) = 0 miss I just realized Agrammar's AC is at -2.

Armor 2 attacks Frackit 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (6) = 9 miss

Party

Zairiah, thankfully out of melee range, is in pain, but uses her bow to try to help her companions, shooting from the hall into the room.

Attack (+3 Shortbow): 12 - 1d20 ⇒ 12 - (8) = 4
Damage (Sheaf Arrow): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Z, do you want to take a shot for round 1 as well?

If I can and still safely exit melee, sure. Roll below.

Attack (+3 Shortbow): 12 - 1d20 ⇒ 12 - (10) = 2
Damage (Sheaf Arrow): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Round 2

Paritosh steels himself for another tough fight as he swings away at the enchanted armor...

Khopesh Attack: 16 - 1d20 - 2 - 1 ⇒ 16 - (9) - 2 - 1 = 4 Factor: 9; 3/2
Khopesh Damage: 2d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 + 2 = 8 Type: S

... twice

Khopesh Attack: 16 - 1d20 - 2 - 1 ⇒ 16 - (17) - 2 - 1 = -4 Factor: 9; 3/2
Khopesh Damage: 2d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 + 2 = 12 Type: S

Nura strikes twice at the armor threatening Frackit (THAC0 and damage does not include magical modifications, if any).

THAC0 13: 13 - 1d20 ⇒ 13 - (10) = 3 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
THAC0 13: 13 - 1d20 ⇒ 13 - (3) = 10 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Aggramar attacks!

Scimitar +1: 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (18) = -3
Damage if it hits: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 12

Frackit and Fadilah

Fetch spell: acid arrow (<= 65%): 1d100 ⇒ 35
Fetch spell time: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 rounds

Fadilah sends her gen off for another useful spell and takes a defensive stance.

Looks like that won't arrive until the fight is over.

Frackit takes his whole turn avoiding and defensing as he withdraws.

In the previous round Zairiah was able to hit with her arrow.

Paritosh hits once but feels as though it was not as effective as it normally would be.

Agrammar hits and Nura hits her armor once.

Initiative: Party 1d10 ⇒ 3, Enemy 1d10 ⇒ 2

Round 3

Party

Nura presses the attack (THAC0 and damage does not include magical modifications, if any).

THAC0 13: 13 - 1d20 ⇒ 13 - (19) = -6 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Aggrammar does not relent!

Scimitar +1: 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (18) = -3
Damage if it hits: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 12

Zairiah shoots again.

Attack (+3 Shortbow): 12 - 1d20 ⇒ 12 - (18) = -6
Damage (Sheaf Arrow): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Frackit and Fadi and Paritosh I know Pari is on vaca and Fadi is waiting on her spell

Frackit backed off and headed to Zariah. With that he pulls out his gold nugget holy symbol and begins to incant his healing spell.

CMW: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Paritosh steels himself for another tough fight as he swings away at the enchanted armor...

Khopesh Attack: 16 - 1d20 - 2 - 1 ⇒ 16 - (7) - 2 - 1 = 6
Miss

Zairiah and Agrammar's attack combine to destroy the suit of armor.

Nura's attack hits the other armor.

Armor 2 attacks Nura 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (3) = 12 miss.

Initiative: Party 1d10 ⇒ 4, Enemy 1d10 ⇒ 1

Round 4

Party

Nura continues her assault.

THAC0 13: 13 - 1d20 ⇒ 13 - (7) = 6 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
THAC0 13: 13 - 1d20 ⇒ 13 - (11) = 2 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Thank you, Frackit.

Feeling a little sturdier, Zairiah shoots again.

Attack (+3 Shortbow): 12 - 1d20 ⇒ 12 - (17) = -5
Damage (Sheaf Arrow): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Aggrammar continues his attacks.

Damage if it hits: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 12

Nura and Zairiah's attacks are enough to destroy the second suit of armor.

Combat Over

Now that has happened you see an immaculate suit of Lamellar armor with exquisite detail and gold leaf also in the chest are 24 silver tipped arrows.

Aggrammar looks over the armor and arrows - "At least the fightin' was worth it" - he grunted with a chuckle - "I wonder if any o' these might be magical? Fadilah?"

Then he went to check on the armors for any distinctive signs or runes.

Adding to loot list

Next room?

Yep, let's just move forward. I don't think we're going to be able to identify anything unless we try it out ourselves or pay for it, so let's just assume that is the way it is.

Your group continues on to room 8. It has a sturdy door that is closed.

Aggrammar looks over the armor and arrows - "At least the fightin' was worth it" - he grunted with a chuckle - "I wonder if any o' these might be magical? Fadilah?"

Then he went to check on the armors for any distinctive signs or runes.

"If we want to take a pause for a few minutes, sure."

The gen returns and says, "Mistress, I have your spell."

Zairiah waits for Fadilah to do her thing before approaching the door.

Frackit pulls back out his dagger and moved to the next door ready to assist Zairiah. " You know seems this place is a bit...cursed"

What makes you think so?

" Undead, Genie Traps or Trapped Genies" he taps hisnose then decides to switch weapons.

" Or it's some Zhentish Wizard or Strifeleader setting up traps in your own forts and crypts...." he paused as his hands knuckled whote as he now gripped his axe.

" Sorry, Yer lands dont have Zhentish Bastards of thier vile Gods. Still, seems cursed here." he says still tense.

Kamalla says, "What does Zhentish mean?"

Nura frowned at the strange words but did not echo Kamalla's question.

Fadi, do you want to send your gen out for a detect magic spell?

Might as well. Then um... who knows what's next?

Roll it

Aggrammar stands watch for threats, while Fadilah works her magic.

"So Kamalla, are ye always this silent?" - he grabs the opportunity to engage with the girl - "What do you plan to do with yer share of the gold, if we find this treasure pit you have told us about?"
