MJ66's GAME OF MORTALS cooperative until endgame then PVP experiment! (Inactive)

Game Master Michael Johnson 66

The three "Kobolds" begin to chant before even Mydravos can react, casting spells...

I suggessst you sssurrender!

One of the serpentfolk casts suggestion on Sven, Will save DC 16.

Yesssss! Why don't you sssurender?

One of the serpentfolk casts suggestion on Essel, Will save DC 16.

That would be besssst!

One of the serpentfolk casts suggestion on Mydravos, Will save DC 16.

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Boon of divine toast: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 4 = 24

Hit: 24 = 24

Shaking off the attempt to sway him, Sven bashed the Kobold in the face.

[dice=Will]1d20+6

[dice=Boon of divine toast]1d20+6+4

[dice=Hit]24
[dice=Damage]10

Shaking off the attempt to sway him, Sven bashed the Kobold in the face.

HIIISSSS!!!

The beast flinches and hisses in pain at Sven's bash!

will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Mydravos smiles as they cast their spell, “Flee before your betters”
command; flee on one fo the undamaged “Kobolds”. DC16

[dice=will save] 1d20+7

Mydravos smiles as they cast their spell, “Flee before your betters”
command; flee on one fo the undamaged “Kobolds”. DC16

The "kobold" seems unmoved my Mydravos' magical command...

Immune to mind-affecting effects...

Nay, fool! It isss we are your bettersss! You should flee before usss!!

Will DC 16: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Essel chuckles to herself as she breaks off the feeble attempt at mind control, "Please." she raises her hand, and with barely a gesture, a magic missile flies into the face of the one that tried to charm her.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

[dice=Will DC 16]1d20+4

Essel chuckles to herself as she breaks off the feeble attempt at mind control, "Please." she raises her hand, and with barely a gesture, a magic missile flies into the face of the one that tried to charm her.

[dice=Magic Missile]1d4+1

YyyyAAAAARRRRrrgh!!

The monster flinches at the sting of Essel's magic missile...

The three serpentfolk flee into the dark recesses of the Ziggurat's deeper levels...

Withdraws from combat and double moves down...

Pursue, let them flee but explore on, or exit the Ziggurat?

I say flee but explore on.

Sounds good to me.

Essel looks to her more bloodthirsty companions for guidance.

”The gods sent us here, and they despise cowards. If the task was beyond us we would not have been sent. Onwards!”

Okay, cool. Sorry for the slow-down, I've been training at a new job and busy dealing with other challenges thrown at me by the great impartial GM of the game of Real Life (even more brutal than Gary Gygax sometimes lol)... Will work on getting some visual aids (maps) up to help facilitate and immerse you better in exploring the Ziggurat, as soon as I get some downtime. I am going to Chicago this weekend for a Dharma Assembly with my kung fu teacher and Tao family, so look for updates beginning next week. Thanks for hanging in with me, all!

all good

Mydravos looks at the others. “Well we shall see how things go then. Onward Sven.”

"Onward." Ealsealf says, and nods.

The adventurers descend the stairway down which the serpentfolk-in-kobold-guise fled, a winding way with several landings and switchbacks, until it emerges into a 60-foot-square chamber with a 20-foot-high ceiling, sparsely furnished with an altar of black, cracked basalt at the end opposite where the stairs enter, upon which rests a vile reptilian idol of obsidian, with a leering, demonic, hag-like head on a coiled, serpentine body... Tattered tapestries of moth-eaten silk depicting reptilian beings enslaving, torturing, and devouring humanoids hang on the side walls of this evil temple...

Suddenly, a secret door behind the altar slides open, and into the chamber emerges a scaly, green, serpent-headed humanoid clad in a black priestly robe and vestments, brandishing a sickle in its clawed right hand!

*HIIISSSSS!!* INTRUDERSSSS!! YOUR BLOOD SHALL SSSSANCTIFY THE ALTAR!!
