Hungry are the Dead (Inactive)

Game Master Seldlon the Swift

"Could be the lever that released that wall of spears. Now that there's no tension, maybe it doesn't do anything."

Perhaps prematurely, Niu quickly squeezes past the formerly swimging blades and approaches the doors.

Do the southern doors have handles of any kind?

The southern doors have handles. They appear to be normal doors for this place.

Haha! Never thought to even ask for a door handle.

"Rhen. Door?"

Ranok will scan the area with a detect magic while he waits

Retrieving his Hand of the Mage, Niu concentrates and sends a magical hand to open the doors.

Edit: Hearing Ranok's warning, he waits for Rhen to check the door.

Check for traps: 1d20 + 10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 3 = 14

Rhen nods and looks the door over for some traps or anything else that could harm them.

After Rhen backs away, Niu Mage Hand's the door open (from the middle of the room)

The doors open. There are two corridors. One heads southwest the other southeast. They appear identical.

Recovering from her flawless singing, she walks forward with the others.

"Well that was interesting. Which way now?"

Ranok will advance through the door and move to the right

"probably no sense in moving quietly since we're being watched but better safe than sorry."

"Never fear, Ranok, you can hide from me easily enough."

Niu follows behind, holding his gem aloft.

Ranok sees that a corridor goes south. Another goes NE to what looks like a room.

Rhen moves south east to the next corridor and peeks around.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
+2 more if danger

He sees a room to the south.

"I never was too keen on skulking about" Zeira says as she follows suit sword and shield at the ready.

Niu walks up behind Rhen and peers over his shoulder into the darkness. "Keep taking left hand turns?"

"Aye, there be many paths that we could be takin'. I be thinkin' we will be havin' somethin' at our backs."

Rhen moves North East to look again.

Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
+2 if danger

Stone partitions divide this chamber into a series of interconnected rectangular-shaped rooms. Mounted to several places on the walls and floor, great iron gears spin slowly. Toward the back of the room a 5-foot-diameter wooden turnstile blocks a shallow alcove.

6 festrogs patrol this area.

perception v stealth 29: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
perception v stealth 29: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
perception v stealth 29: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

perception v stealth 29: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
perception v stealth 29: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

They do not see Rhen.

"Rhen?

Where is that sneaky dwarf?

Ziera follows behind her sword and shield out ready to fight if necessary. She tries to peak over Ranok but can't.

"Oh, no! Is he gone? He went toward that room, Ranok. Maybe we should follow to see if something bad happened to him."

Rhen sneaks back over and looks at everyone. "What is yer problem? 6 o' them Festrogs be patrollin' THey will come barrelin' down on us if we just rush in."

"Oh, Rhen, you're ok. That is good."

He taps his chin for a second "Festrogs, you say? Maybe barreling after us would be a good thing. If we draw them into the corridor here, I can pummel them all with snowballs."

"We can possibly set for a charge!" She says a bit ready for the battle.

'Wow that was a little too eager, am I being too eager? Anyways let's get ready for anything"

Ranok begins to smile a little. "Yes, draw them into a trap! I'm not sure if you're serious about the snowballs or not, but I'm sure it's some kind of magic of yours. Wait, aren't you from the desert? Nevermind. Rhen, if you can draw them back here, Ziera and I can hide and ambush them in a storm of steel while Niu pelts them with gold, ahem, cold water." That gold was an auto correct that I just had to leave in place. Ranok begins to look for a place to hide where his greatsword will still reach.

"Snowballs can only be created by magic. Certainly you knew that already."

"Um..You just need snow for snowballs"

"Snow? Ha! Who's the crazy one now?"

Rhen shakes his head at the banter between his group. "They will be hearin' ye and comin' 'efore we be ready if ye all don't be quiet." Rhen says stalking off towards the undead. "Aye maybe I'll be joinin' them undead and come back here ta quiet them all!" Rhens thought brings a quick smile then a shudder.

"Right.Sorry Rhen" She says as she then looks at the others a bit sorry she was admonished.

As Niu steps into the middle of the hallway, the festrogs see him.

"Oh, goodie, here they come! They didn't seem so tough last time. I wonder if we even need magic."

Niu reaches up to run his fingers through his hair. As he does, the brittle, sun-bleached hair begins to lengthen and thicken until great hair tentacles swirl about his head, curled and poised to strike.

"Come stad next to me, Zeira. This looks like a good spot to make a stand."

If I get an AoO (10ft reach), I'd like to trip
Trip AoO: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

"Sure, I can aid yo" Zeira moves up and stands near Niu to help defend him and ready herself to strike.

Holding to strike when the Festrog comes close to me.

"Can anyone see Rhen?"

Perception DC 29

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Shot in the dark here

"Nope don't see him'

Rhen readies an attack on the first festrog to get within reach.
+1 undead-bane cold iron short sword v AC 14: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (5, 2) = 19 19/20

These hideously malformed, hairless, pustule-covered corpse moves and snarls more like an undead hound than an undead man as they charge the party.

Red runs past Rhen drawing his readied action. Black and Green run into Rhen not knowing he was there. They attack.

bite v AC21: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 plus feed

bite v AC21: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

"Well, it kinda worked"

I'll move ranok when I get to a computer, unless you could.

Sure did, Mister 4d6+11.

Ranok obliterates the red festrog. The other three move toward you.

Ziera lays into the green undead. It looks like it can barely stand after that.

black, green
Ranok
yellow, blue, festrog

Niu tries to imitate Ranok. He yells out a weak battle cry and charges toward the black festrog. Marked the charge lane, so you can see that I wasn't blocked. It is a single move, so if you deem the charge invalid, just deduct 2 from the to hit

Whipping his hair over Rhen's head, he strikes out at the festrog.

Hair,Charge: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 2 = 31 (-4 for Cover??)
Damage?: 1d3 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Ranok will take a straight 20' diagonal to yellow, and take a swipe.

+1 undead-bane great sword: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 = 144d6 + 11 ⇒ (5, 5, 2, 6) + 11 = 29

Ranok removes another undead. Some of its boils rupture, squirting the Ranok with pusslike fluids. The noxious secretions carry a potent contact disease that causes those infected to break out into painful necrotic boils.

Necrotic Boils: Disease—contact; save Fort DC 11

Blue moves to attack the dwarf.

fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Ranok shakes his sword, dripping off bits of festrog, as he circles wide around the creature facing off with Rhen. Ignoring the irritating bits of flesh on his arms, he give a soft snarl, making sure to keep his mouth closed, as he takes advantage of the festrog's blindside and swipes down on him.

+1 undead banne great sword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 184d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 3) + 11 = 24
