Fort Inevitable (Inactive)

Game Master Daedeloth

The party makes it under the portcullis without incident.

There were some rocks back down the passage but no wood.

Rest or move on Pnin? Your call, but this seems like a pretty secure area with the portcullis behind and only one door ahead.

Are you leaving portcullis up or returning to down position?

i would feel better with portcullis up

Better to have it down. Less likely to alert anyone that comes and checks that they have uninvited guests. As well, maybe it will help keep out beetles or other tunnel menaces.

fair enough

DM: What time of day is it? I think that would affect the rest decision.

Party: Is it better to move about during the day or night? I'm not sure which we'd prefer when dealing with the undead.

Knowledge Dungeoneering??: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Either way, I 'd still like to rest soon, that door trap took a lot out of me. I think you have the right of this being a safe place Kael.

You believe it is around 3:00pm.

Sounds like you are lowering portcullis and closing the other door to the room?

Lower and close and rest.

stand watch: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

The night passes.

No scary d20 rolls of mystery? Boo!

Looks like it's your lead once again Pnin. Let's go find us a necromancer.

following Pnin perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Good thing I'm blowing through all my 20s before combat!

Does Pnin recover at all (he asked hopefully)??

Pnin takes point and goes through the door to the other room.

Perception: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (5) + 26 = 31

Pnin has recovered. You open the door again and see the alcove with the lever as well as a passage leading to the left and right.

To the left (unless there are better ideas)

Perception: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (18) + 26 = 44

Anyone else?

Kael's action and roll posted above.

left is as good as any direction Pnin
sanrael listens for any sounds in the passages ahead...and looks about for signs of anything passing this way recently
perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

survival: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

I'm ready

Pnin leads down the passage for about 30’ where it turns to the right and runs another 30’ before ending in a stout looking door with symbols all over it.

If you have knowledge arcana, planes or religion, pick your best one and make a skill check.

What's all this then?

Kreligion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

know arcana: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

This symbol here, that's repeated here and here and here. I'm pretty sure that means Danger.

Well, much as we are looking for some amount of danger, I suggest we turn around and see where the other route leads.

Pnin proceeds down what was the right path.

Perception: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (19) + 26 = 45

Following Pnin.

perceptionn: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

You go the other way down the path and it turns the corner and ends in a door as well, but this one does not appear to have any symbols on it.

It's a TRAP! Regards, Kael Ackbar

Pnin opens the door.

Opening the door reveals a large 30’’x40’ room that looks like it is used for storage, you can see crates, barrels and old pieces of furniture. There is a 5’ wide path through the stuff leading to a door.

Kael gives the room a once over with ~detect evil~

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Any signs of magic Curral?

Pnin takes a look around the room for any secrets

Perception: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (11) + 26 = 37

sanrael uses Tolarchan to detect undead in the vicinity

perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

Kael detects no evil and Sanrael detects no undead within the room.

Pnin moves about studying the contents of the room when a pair of giant centipedes lash out from between some stacks of crates and old furniture.

Not great

Pnin waits for a flanking partner before attacking back

Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 12 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 1 - 2 = 11

SneakAttack: 1d6 + 6 - 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 - 1 + (1, 2, 3) = 17

Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 12 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 - 1 - 2 = 15

SneakAttack: 1d6 + 6 - 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 1 + (2, 2, 3) = 15

Sanrael steps up and smashes at Bettle that still has Pnins fur in its mouth....
GHPA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 242d6 + 14 ⇒ (6, 6) + 14 = 26

Don't forget second attack Sanrael.

Darkvision-do they get 2 attacks a round or are there 4 pedes?

Death to all centipedes1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 112d6 + 13 ⇒ (4, 3) + 13 = 20

retcon - Cast Detect Magic

Attack!

Long Sword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Dazed by the sudden attack, Pnin fires his arrows wildly into the wall. Kael rushing to his side doesn't do any better stumbling a bit before his second attack and tweaking his back (-2 to your attacks next round). Sanrael slashes into his centipede twice opening sizable wounds in its armored flesh. Curral's attack is turned aside by the creature's natural armor.

The two centipedes continue their attacks, striking viciously at Pnin and Sanrael!

Pnin:
bite: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22(think this hits due to reduced AC from dex damage)
dam: 3d6 + 18 ⇒ (2, 2, 1) + 18 = 23

bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Sanrael
bite: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
dam: 3d6 + 18 ⇒ (2, 2, 6) + 18 = 28
DC 22 Fort save or dex dam: 1d3 ⇒ 3

bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
dam: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 5) + 12 = 21

WTF? Same post 14 minutes apart? Darn CCP!

Pnin goes down

Kael?

Attacking any available wounded pede:

GSPA1: 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 2 - 2 = 272d6 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (4, 6) + 13 + 2 = 25

Kael: You are facing the centipede that just took Pnin down. You can move to attack the other wounded centipede on Sanrael/Curral, but you will be turning your back to centipede on you and it will result in AOO. Do you want to attack wounded centipede and take AOO or attack unwounded centipede?

Unwounded it is.
