GM Worg's Tears at Bitter Manor (Inactive)

Game Master Kyle "Worg" H

acrobatics with derring-do: 1d20 + 14 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 14 + (2) = 28

If that works, Mivvy will delay her attack until Urzaia moves up to a flanking position.

Mivvy makes swift effort and catches the were-rat offguard! She manages to leap behind him by bounding over the wall in a climb-step fashion!

Yay!

Mivvy smirks at the wererat, "Do keep up."

Then she strikes.
attack with silver weapon bless, PS and flanking: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
damage silver with PS: 1d6 + 4 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 5 + 4 = 16

Becasue I should have intimdated: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Urzaia approaches the rat and reaches out to grab him

Grapple: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

The Wererat manages to see past Kasumi's illusion, but gets intimidated by Fen! He squeezes past Urzaia and makes a break for it! He heads up a ways into the hallway and opens another doorway!

Urzaia chases down the rat and tries to take his legs out, but can't control his swing.

War Mind on AC

Trip: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Kasumi tosses a Daze at it.

DC18 Will save, still doesn't affect anyone over 4HD.

"Where is he going?" Fen moves 30' to the west trying to follow the sounds of battle

acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Mivvy vaults past the wererat once more and makes another strike.
attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
damage: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Keene follows the group, trying to keep up with the enemy.

If someone would move me,,please.

Prakriti, morningstar drawn, moves to get closer to the wererat.

Moved you Keene. It's only 25 ft so you still have a standard and you're next to the rat man.

Keene swings his magical greatsword at the sneaky enemy.

Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Damage 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11

Kasumi the Vexatious(-1,Fine)

A lot of attacks happen to try to catch the slippery rascal, but he evades everything. Now that the door is open, he swings his sword at Urzaia and flees into the room. He clumsily misses the half orc, and trips on furniture on his way in.

What Happened
Rat Monster: Attack, Move, Fail Acrobatics
Urzaia: No Damage

What Happened
Urzaia: Get an Attack of Opportunity
Mivvy: Get an Attack of Opportunity
Keene: Get an Attack of Opportunity

Frustrated by his inability to contain the rat Urzaia calls upon the Favor of Gorum and swings deep into his guts.

Fervor - Divine Favor

Attack, Clarity, Power Attack, Bless, Divine Favor: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 2 + 1 + 3 = 32

Damage, Power Attack, Divine Favor, Holy: 1d6 + 8 + 6 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 6 + 3 + (2, 6) = 28

Attack, Clarity, Power Attack, Bless, Divine Favor, Confirm: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 2 + 1 + 3 = 20

Damage, Power Attack, Divine Favor: 1d6 + 8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 6 + 3 = 18

Urzaia's weapon digs deeply into the rat's body. He is clearly seriously injured, but refuses to give up and will fight to the death!

AOO

Keene swings his magical greatsword at the sneaky enemy.

Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Damage 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12
———————

Keene follows the rat and swings at him yet again.

Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Damage 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 6) + 4 = 14

Would someone move me up by the rat, please?

Keene's blade bites deeply into the rat! While it is not as strong as Clarity or Silver, the damage that he has taken finally becomes too much. He stiffens, and falls dead on the floor.

You now have a moment to look around this Foyer. Even after decades of neglect, this sitting room seems luxurious—out of place amid the horrors of the surrounding territory. A few small couches and tables once served the needs of the manor’s visitors, but most are threadbare and splintered. Grand stairs sweeps along the north wall and rises to the second floor. Sheets of iron and wood have been nailed to strengthen the exterior wall, further disrupting the room’s high-society feel.

Fen makes his way to the Foyer after what feels like forever, "Well it was a rat, I guess that was a good guess on my part. You need to let us know what is happening during the attack. I had no idea where to go to help out."

Magical Gloves: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14

"There was a room off the kitchen I never got into, head that way first before we go upstairs?" Fen says looking at the gloves.

Spellcraft on gloves 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Kasumi looks at the fallen rat-man and scratches her chin. "Don't suppose any of you have had deep-fried mouse before? Highly recommend. Very crunchy."

"Not that I'm recommending that with this guy, just. Y'know. Reminds me, is all."

Let's keep looking. There were more secret passages.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Mivvy grimaces, "Lots of small bones I imagine, like spiny fish. Not my cup of tea I'm afraid."

"It's crunchy! Double-crunchy, even, with the batter."

Although her odds of finding something Urzaia doesn't are but 5%, she joins in the search anyway, her player remembering halfway through typing this sentence that Aid Another is a thing.

Perception Aid Urzaia: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Keene pulls out his wand and has the group heal his wounds as they piddle around.

Clw 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (1, 7) + 2 = 10

The search for more secret doors on this floor turns up dry, save for a crawlspace entrance that seems to lead back to the ballroom.

It appears you have claimed all the spoils this floor has to offer. All that is left is to ascend upstairs. A quick look through each keyhole reveals some bits of information.
Slide 7

Keene tells the others about the gloves, hoping someone could find something really useful to do with them.

Kasumi shrugs; "If no one else wants them..." she says, wiggling her fingers.

Wonder what would happen if you cast something with verbal components while talking through them? Presumably it would work just fine, given that the words are still being made, just dampened...

Let's check upstairs. There should be at least a couple more people here.

Once upstairs Urzaia will open the nearest door.

Would the Detect Traps spell with a 3 min duration still be up?

Fen looks through the Key holes. "Start on the left and work counter clock wise?"

Add 1 if still up: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Those gloves would be awesome for a gunslinger!

Mivvy sees to Keene's wounds and then uses her own wand.
CLW: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (3, 8) + 2 = 13

"Good Father, perhaps you might listen at the door before entering?"
Mivvy chooses her magical sword and stands ready beside Urzaia, ready to defend Mivvy's Marauders.

Wonder what would happen if you cast something with verbal components while talking through them? Presumably it would work just fine, given that the words are still being made, just dampened...

Theoretically, yes.

Fen is handling the peeping. I'm feeling a bit more shock and awe for these skulks.

"SOmeone in the Eastern Room." Fen whispers after tip toeing around the room. "Others look clear"

"Seems like we oughta deal with that first, else she might get the drop on us," suggests Kasumi.

Urzaia nods and moves to kick in the door once the rest of the group is in position.

Fen uncoils his whip ready to strike.

Kasumi readies Glue Seal (DC16), ready to glue the woman to the floor if it turns out she's animate.

Keene pulls his magic missile wand and advances with the group.

Mivvy readies her blade.

I have positioned everyone on the map. Hope everyone is cool with the positioning?

You open the door, to which the lady in the wicked armor turns and draws her blade.

“You are not permitted here. Present your champion. If I kill her, you are bound by your honor to leave. If she kills me, this place is yours to do with as you see fit.”

Do you accept her challenge?

Mivvy smiles and lets out a little laugh, ”Have you noticed how people only say things like this when they are outnumbered?”

Then she addresses the woman directly, ”Nobody with any honour or dignity would belong here. Your lie is beyond transparent.”

Kasumi considers some options.

Kasumi's tails swirl for a moment before stretching out in all directions. Magic flows, not from her blood but from her very being, and should the woman in the armor be any form of humanoid, she will feel a pull towards acting a little friendlier.

Charm Person, DC 17 Will. Racial spell-like. c:

If this is a no-sell and she doesn't attack immediately upon it, Kasumi has more tricks up her sleeve.
