Ashardaldon Series - Unoptimized KK (Inactive)

Game Master Freddy Honeycutt

"I guess you lot have no idea, ok you can wait here while we do our recon and we will let you know what we find out."

Eventually Thos and his guild lead you into a secret lair under the Gold Tabbard, through a secret door, you end up walking a tunnel heading into an area that becomes less and less worked.

Thos leads you into some chambers under the city soon enough this one looks like it goes straight down and then straight back up in what one could characterize as a large subterrainian "V" shaped tunnel. The top of the V opens out to the area just beyond the walls. Thos recovers the opening and bids you farewell.

Once you pass the wall and the town is behind you. A growling and barking noise greets you. A pack of hellhounds has been patrolling the area outside and they have caught your scent on the wind.
Mugshot
Actions please……

Xane straightens up... brushing the dirt from her hair where it's been rubbing against the tunnel roof. She looks at the doggies.

"Down!" She states to them, sharply but firmly.

Perception:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Um... how many doggies to a 'pack'?

"Let's outrun em to tha halflin camp!"

Xane holds up a hand, No. You don't run. They want to chase you if you run..." She explains, though she never breaks eye contact from the approaching doggies. Trying to ascertain as too which might be the 'Pack leader'.

Gripping his sword handle Respen looks to Erky, "I don't think we can out run them any way. My lady you know most hounds what do you think?"

Xane, still looking for the pack leader nods in reply to Respen, "We show them who's boss and sort things out 'peacable' like..." So saying she takes a step forwards, showing she's definately not affraid of the doggies and setting herself to meet their charge.

"Watch out for being flanked and them going for your legs." Xane warns, trying to help her friends deal with canine 'pack' tactics.

"Fine we can face em down."

Erky looks at the hilly terrain.."Not likely to get tah us mah bow..."

readies his shield and hookhammer.....

Soon four hounds find you and begin to break up into a pack attack!

The four hounds come in fast and hard, though they all pull up short and instead decide to use there fiery breath....

Oops! Sorry for dragging my feet!

Initiative:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Ref Save:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Xane is taken unawares by the doggies exhalation of fire, though she takes the flames in her stride.

"Woah! bad breath!" She exclaims, even as she takes a 'five foot step' and reaches for the closest offending canine.

"Bad doggie!" She chastises the mutt, even as she attempts to get a hold of it by the scruff of its neck.

CMB:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

And the dice roller comes up trumps for Xane. :P

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 Initiative

Emerging from the darkness like some sort of undead shade, Kheldor hurls a blast of shadows at one of the vile dogs. 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 Ranged touch, Binding Darkness. If that hits, its entangled for two rounds

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

As the hounds breth fire, Gurukk appears to stand and revel in the flames before casting a spell. When the spell completes, an opaque suit of chainmail made of magical force appears around him. He grips his axe and moves in for the kill. (Cast instant armor since my fire spells would be worthless)

HP 55/58 AC 18
Magical Effects instant armor

HUZZAH! Our spiritual guide returns! (^_^)

Gurukk wants to give these fire dogs a hug

Awe... you read Xane's mind! (^_^)

Kheldor's attack cinches one of the hounds to the ground, the hound whines in frustration......the other three attack!

Erky swats a hound but only does minimum damage.

Xane masterfully pulls her hand out of the way as the hounds jaws snap shut on empty air. She grins as the doggy falls for her very basic animal handling trick.

CMB:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

Only to grab the mutt by it's scruff/collar.

"Bad doggy." >:)

Great Axe: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

While the axe hits, you can tell Gurukk is struggling with hurting these fire dogs and didn't put much behind his swing.

Awe.. Gurrukk the big softy, animal lover! :3

Xane lifts her doggy by the scruff of it's neck, "Bad dog!" She chastises it, while looking to see how her friends are going with teaching the other hounds how to behave.

Gurukk and Erky attack a hound and kill it.

Only the trapped hound remains!

You are up!

Xane frowns, "Should have worn oven mitts!" She exclaims as the hound's temperature starts to get the better of herself.

"Gurukk? How are you at not getting burned?" She asks, looking to off load the beasty to some one who's more familiar with fire.

Att Roll:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Dam Roll:1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Again, she tries to teach the mongrel some manners... and who's really in charge...

With the doggy problem settled (I think) Xane holds her hand out for Gurukk to inspect.. and hopefully give Xane some soothing healing.

"Okay.. who's got some chain? Or something reasonably fire proof for setting this mutt straight?" She asks, indicating the sleeping hound where it lies smouldering.

"Tha ain't no dog girl, thas a evil creature o tha abyss!"

Still holding her hand out for healing Xane frowns. "Looks like a dog...Kind of barks like a dog... " She mutters.

As you continue on away from the walls of the city, you come to the halfling camp and can see that beyond that a group of people dressed in simple clothing sit around a small fire in a clearing.

Who do you approach?

"So a halflin camp err a group o hippies singin in tha woods?"
