GM Tektite's Emerald Spire (Inactive)

Game Master Feral

After clearing the room, Aillig moves up to the next door, waits for Joey to check it, then readies his musket and kicks it open.

I moved everyone to the next door. Want to try this one SWAT style. :)

Finding no traps, nor locks, Joey opens the next door. The double bunks and footlockers in the alcoves of this large room suggest it serves as a barracks. The walls are decorated with simple paintings and murals, which include sketches of building, temple, and ruin layouts with notations suggesting how to get past obstacles and traps. Two small privy chambers stand against the southern wall, and doors exit to the southeast and the northwest. Inside three surprised men stand, reaching for weapons!

Joey
Soro

Makkoa
Aillig

Joey and Soro are up!

Joey stammers some type of curse and rushes the closest enemy before they can react, however he stumbles due to his own haste!

Gladius: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 for Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (6, 4) = 15

Soro advances into the room, on his guard and preparing to close when he can.

Total defense, current AC 22.

Joey rushes the nearest man, but misses!

Soro moves into the room and takes up a defensive posture!

The man in yellow moves to flank Joey, trying to dart past.

Acrobatics vs Joey CMD 17: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Attack vs Joey: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Dmaage: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (1) = 6

Attack vs Joey: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Dmaage: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (2) = 7

The two men flank Joey, one managing to stab him!

Attack vs Soro: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2 And a Fort Save vs poison

The northern man fires his crossbow at Soro, but misses!

Party up!

Aillig takes a shot at one of the men flanking Joey. Then, drawing his club, he moves in to flank.

+1 Musket at Green Thug (Touch, PBS, & Precise Shot: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Damage: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Aillig fires, but the shot misses the man, chipping stone from the wall to his south!

Seeing Aillig move to flank, Joey attacks!

Gladius: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 for Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Gladius: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 for Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Confirm?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 for Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Sneak on first hit: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

Joey makes short work of the man to his east, taking him down with his first strike. He is then able to turn his blade on the man to his west, stabbing him as well!

Joey, while it doesn't matter here (since you defeated the thug with the first stab) you should get sneak attack damage for all attacks made while flanking.

Makkoa pulls his weapon and heads into the room, ending up next to the yellow man.

Fysus walks into the room and takes cover behind Soro and then seeing Joey taking care of himself focus his attention on the man standing at the far end of the room..sending wave after wave of thinking of lullaby songs against the man's mind hoping to cause him to fall asleep...or at least get him yawning and distracted.

(Using Slumber hex on the guy in the blue cloak Will save DC 16 or fall asleep)

Oh yeah. Mixing up my games rules again as I've been playing 5e during the week. Thanks.

Makkoa heads into the room!

1d20 ⇒ 1

Fysus puts a hex on the man to the north. He falls to the ground, sleeping peacefully!

Zcha!

Zcha?

Zcha delays, seeing the situation well in hand!

Attack vs Joey: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The last man stabs at Joey, scoring a atrike!

Party up!

Joey grimaces from the strike, then makes a quick step to the north before attacking.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 for Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 for Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Makkoa keeps swiping at the lone man with his falchion.

Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Damage 2d4 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

Sorry about that.

Zcha'zcha sees his friends having fun with other possible new friends and he peers around the corner ahead of him instead of following them.

Seeing the last man being dealt with Fysus decides to help out a bit by distracting the man with some magic

(Casting Daze, DC 15 Will save or dazed for 1 round)

Unable to reach the last active enemy, Soro lumbers over to the sleeping robed figure and starts to tie him up.

Joey strikes the remaining man, but the man still stands!

Makkoa swings, but misses!

Zcha peers around the corner and sees more doors!

1d20 ⇒ 7

Fysus dazes the standing man!

Soro begins tying up the slumbering man!

Ailiig

"Surrender!" Aillig bellows at the last man with a fierce scowl.

Intimidate to demoralize: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Aillig scares the wits out the man!

Attack vs Joey: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 2 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The man, seeing his doom, half-heartedly stabs at Joey.

Party up!

Aillig prays and gestures with his free hand, summoning a small orb of acid that he then hurls at the man.

Acid Splash (PBS & Precise Shot): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Zcha retreats to find his friends in combat! "Friend Gullpiece! More door monsters lay in wait for us around the corner! WHAT SHALL WE DO!"

He sees the man strike out at Joey and yells at him. "NO HURT FRIEND GULLPIECE! GO AWAY!"

DC 14 Cause Fear

Aillig puts a bolt into the man, dropping him.

Save the spell, Zcha

Out of Combat!

You find a potion of cure light wounds, greenblood oil (2), padded armor, dagger, light crossbow with 10 bolts, short sword on each on the mennear Joey. On the slumbering man, you find a potion of cure light wounds, Small centipede poison (4), leather armor, dagger, mwk light crossbow with 20 bolts, short sword.

Fysus glances around the party

"We want to wake him up and interrogate him..or just leave him here and move on?"

"I doubt we could trust them anyway. ,let's leave them for later."

Joey collects the potions, poisons, oils, and the daggers. Right-o. Let's move on.

"I'll ask him some questions." Aillig says, stepping up to kick the man awake after he's been securely tied up.

Once he's awake, Aillig makes sure he's got his attention, then begins to slowly reload his musket. "You got until I'm reloaded to start speakin. What's going on down here and who's in charge?"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Though clearly intimidated, the man tries to keeps a stoic demeanor, shrugging. "We use this as a base of operations. Tarrin is in charge."

"Tell us about Tarrin. How does he fight? Does he have a weakness? You tell us true and I'll consider letting you go when we're done."

Regardless of what the man reveals, Aillig suggests the group leave him tied up for now and check the door in the northwestern corner of the chamber.

Fysus nods at Aillig

Fysus makes sure everyone has virtue and guidance again and joins up with the rest of the party.

Zcha'zcha joins in on this display of bravado. "I can help, friend Aleling!" Zcha waves his hands and bestows the guise of a monstrous creature on the dwarf.

"DON'T MAKE HIM ASK AGAIN! HE EAT YOUR SOUL!" Zcha yells in the man's face.

The man wears a smug look on his face, but when Zcha transforms, it wavers. "Tarrin.....she's our leader. She has no weaknesses that I know of. She is the favored one of the Gray Master."

The man wears a smug look on his face, but when Zcha transforms, it wavers. "Tarrin.....she's our leader. She has no weaknesses that I know of. She is the favored one of the Gray Master."

"Does she weild Magic? Is she a great warrior, or can she do both?"

Knowledge Religion - Grey Master: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

"Hmmph." Aillig stuffs a gag back in the man's mouth. "We'll come back and let ye go once we're done."

To the others, he nods to the door at the stairs. "Let's head that way."

The man looks fearfully over his shoulder, then turns back to the party and whispers. "Both!"

Aillig is sure what the Gray Master refers to.

Moving through the northwestern door, the party enters long chamber. One wall of this chamber is fitted with arrow slits, looking south toward a large room with a distinctive green glow. A barred wooden door leads to the room beyond the arrow slits. Two guards look up sharply as the party enters, then raise their crossbows!

Initiative:
Joey
Soro
Aillig
Makkoa
Fysus
Guards
Zcha

Everyone, but Zcha is up!

Makkoa moves 15' to the north and 5' to the left. He fires an acid splash at green baddie.

ranged Touch Attack with PBS 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 = 17

Damage 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Fysus moves into the room and is glad to see more humans..at least he has some success with putting those to sleep..he thinks about pillows and blankets and sends the warm fuzzy thoughts towards the crossbow man with the red hat

(Useing slumber hex, DC 16 will save or fall asleep)

After Makkoa's attack, Soro lumbers forward and chops at the green one, but misses.

Greatsword PA to green: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Taking aim, Aillig fires his gun at the unengaged guard.

*KaBOOOM!!*

Musket (Point Blank + Precise Shot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Joey quickly moves into the room, trying to catch the enemy flatfooted!

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 for Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (4, 2) = 11

1d20 ⇒ 6

Makkoa moves into the room and splashes the green cloaked man with acid!

Fysus puts a hex on the man in the red hat. The man's eyes blink rapidly, and he falls to the ground, asleep.

Soro lumbers into the room and swings at nearest man, but misses!

Aillig and Joey quickly put down the man in green!

Out of Combat

Both men carried a potion of cure light wounds, greenblood oil (2), padded armor, dagger, light crossbow with 10 bolts, a short sword.

Aillig reloads his musket as the sleeper is bound and both guards are searched and relieved of their equipment. "Good teamwork, everyone. Let's clear the rest of this place and find this Terrin the guards were talkin about."

Moved everyone to the next double doors on the map.

Fysus checks to see if anyone is hurt, some berries in one hand, a potion of cure light wounds in his other.
After everyone is healed if needed Fysus applies virtue to the party again and nods to Aillig that's it alright to open the door (after Joey's checked it for traps)

"I'm still okay, but all these potions wil be very helpful down the line," the half orc nods at the others, when asked about healing abilities.

"I'm fine. Everyone ready?" Soro prepares to open the door.

Going through the norther, double doors, the party enters a large cavern. This large natural cave has been widened by excavation. Masonry walls enclose structures within the cave, including what looks like a temple to the north and a crypt to the west. In the eastern end, a low stone wall encloses a large pool of water.
