GM Worg's Tears at Bitter Manor (Inactive)

Game Master Kyle "Worg" H

"OUCH!" Fen says loudly as he turns to see what struck him.
Perception+Trap finding: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 1 = 26

Whip now with good: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 171d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Fen cracks his whip again at Red Deamon

Kasumi stomps her feet, reaching out and grabbing the air in both hands before wrenching it to the side. As she does, the wall suddenly extends, sliding across the room to close it off from where the thud came from.

Minor Image! DC17 Will save to disbelieve if interacted with.

The wall seems to have cut off the attacks from the unseen intruder, as nothing seems to happen for now. The Cacodaemon tries to bite Keene, but ultimately fails.

Urzaia and Mivvy's assault destroys the blue sweater Cacodaemon.

Urzaia follows Kasumi's wall to help Keene dispatch the final daemon.

The final Daemon drops like a brick!
Initiative is still going.

Mivvy frowns, ”Maybe our archer has some magic?”

Then she hums a sweet syncopation. detect magic in direction of last arrow.

Detect magic is a 60ft cone.
Sure enough, Mivvy detects the presence of magic from within the physical wall. It is on the southern end, currently past the illusory wall.
Blue Circle

wait for it... wait for it...

...

...

”They’re coming out of the walls! They’re coming out of the g*#-d%%ned walls!”

”Maybe we should go through the wall and surprise them,” Keene calls out, making sure to not head for the wall just yet.

Mivvy examines the wall, looking for some sign of where an arrow might have come from. Or maybe secret doors, or invisible things... stuff.
perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Fen touches himself with his healing wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"indeed we should" Fen says with a smile

Mivvy's search shows that there are small holes in the wall that would be perfect for shooting through. She also notices a tail that seems to belong to whatever has been shooting everyone.

Mivvy stands equidistant between two arrow holes and knocks on the wall, trying to gauge its thickness.

@Mivvy: Where do you stand near the wall?

@Mivvy: Where do you stand near the wall?

equidistant between two arrow holes

You can mark the holes on the map, or position Mivvy yourself. I don't know where the holes are at the moment. I am working on the fact that arrows need to travel in a straight line out of a hole so that if I stand between the holes, I can't be targeted.

@Mivvy The holes are all over the wall. Based on where you are, something may or may not happen.

If they’ll take an arrow, will they take a rapier?

@Mivvy Yes they could.

Mivvy walls over to the wall and pokes her rapier through a hole.

Mivvy roller poorly on perception. Little help, someone?

Keene looks for interesting areas of the wall as well.

Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Keene notices a secret panel in the wall. Upon pulling it, a door opens into a very narrow hallway! Peeking inside, it appears someone has been using this hallway to take pot-shots at the party through the walls. Kasumi's magic must have foiled their plans and forced them to retreat further within.

We will consider initiative dropped for now so everyone may act.

Kasumi walks through her wall and ponders. "I suppose we could give chase, if we're the running-into-an-ambush sort. Not a lot of other options, though, if we want to find out what was shooting at Fen."

Let's take a moment to regroup and heal up. There's a fine balance between rushing into an ambush and giving whoever it was too much time to prepare.

"I agree, I am Rather hurt from whoever shot me through one of those holes." Fen bops himself with his wand

Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Leaves me at 32/33

"Better now." Fen nods coiling up his whip

Fen recovers his wounds and the party begins to explore the tight hallway. It appears whoever was in here decided to make a hasty retreat. Continuing through you find that this leads into the kitchen. Perhaps once this room was used to prepare opulent dinners for memorable events, but now the tables are all but bare. Scraps of meat and cheese give proof that a meal was eaten here recently, but otherwise the kitchen seems unused. One of the long tables still smells like it was used for butchering, and the multicolored stains darkening its chipped surface make that even clearer.

It doesn't take much effort to notice the dust trail in here indicating that this room has been traversed through. Those of you trained in survival can see three different types of footprints. The first belonging to a rat, which you can confirm with the tail print. The second being a soft boot. The final print looks as though it were a heavy metallic boot.

Two smaller rooms are adjacent to the kitchen area.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

After looking around the kitchen Urzaia opens the closest door.

Fen looks around from where he stands not wanting to step on any more trap.s

Trap finding: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 1 = 30

White this room has no traps, you do discover that it is littered with secret doors. There also appears to be a chest in the room to the south, as well as a small cot. It appears the chest has just been ransacked. You are catching onto the correct trail to find whoever this assassin is. The trail of whoever this person is leads to the room to the south from the chest.

Green Line shows the trail.

As Urzaia rushes past his ultimates hr calls out,

This way! He's making a run for it.

Kasumi the Vexatious(-1,Fine)

Kasumi rounds the corner as well, and she grins as she sees the rat-- and her, all in fox form.

"Weapons down or I'll fill this hallway with fire!" she barks, raising her hands menacingly.

She also casts a very quick spell, and the rat's quiver seems empty though if he tries to interact with it he'll need to pass a DC15 Will save to realize it's not.

She also casts Glue Seal on any undrawn weapon she can see (such as a sword in a sheath). He'll need a Strength check or a Combat Maneuver to remove it (DC16).

Wait, got myself confused-- I'm not actually in the initiative anywhere...

Wait, got myself confused-- I'm not actually in the initiative anywhere...

Fixed! Accidentally didn't select it when I was click dragging.

Urzaia calls to mind lessons on combat in tight spaces as he closes on the rat.

Move and War Mind blessing

Aw man, my post won't be relevant by the time it happens D:

knowledge (local): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Special Defences, please.

Mivvy moves to the top of the stairs. Am I missing any way to engage this creature?

"Urzaia, if you become bored then please do allow me to step in."

@Mivvy evasion, improved uncanny dodge, trap sense +1; DR Silver. As far as position, you are currently in a secret hallway that goes behind the stairs, not up it.

Keene moves to try to get line of sight on the enemy. If he does, he will use a magic missile from his wand.

Damage 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Could someone move me to line of sight, if I can get there? Thanks,

Feel free to squeeze on by. I can share some of what I learned at the academy while you duel this rogue.

Mivvy, you should be able to double move and get right next to him.

Mivvy draws her silver rapier and keeps going until she faces the foe.

"Strike with silver if you can."

"And Father, be ready to strike!"

Next round, Mivvy plans to use acrobatics to get behind the wererat so that we can flank and wail on this guy.

Fen moves down to the south eastern door hoping that if the creature escapes the wall it cannot get a straight shot out.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Add 1 if there is trap

Prakriti blesses the group once again as she moves in closer to the melee.

Bless. +1 Attack to all.

Fen bangs on the walls trying to distract the enemy in there. "Are you hiding in there like a rat? To afraid to fight us in the open?" Fen yells having no idea it is indeed a ratfolk
