Crimson Knights of the Black Blade (Inactive)

Game Master BloodWolven

Round 1
Thorn studies the beetle. He notes its movements, manner of attacks and speed as he crouches in order to get a better look.

Seeing that Aramyos is down from the creature's crushing mandibles, he makes a mental note to avoid those.

With Lilianne lunging in an attack, the fat man conjures up a tiny ball of acid and tosses it at the beetle.

Acid Orb, range touch, studied target 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 91d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Round 2
Shield in hand and up, Thorn advances on the beetle looking for a chance to strike. To better shield the rest he thinks.

Total Defense, Move up closer.

Round 2:

Baahir moves further into the room attempting to discern what the creature is.

Knowledge (Arcana/Planes/Religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Round 3:

As his allies get battered by the beetle he begins to channel more healing frames from his divine connection.

Channel: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 1 = 4
Re-Roll 1s: 1d6 ⇒ 4 7 Healing.
Excluding Enemy, it takes Fire Damage equal to healing amount and is Dazzled (1 Round), DC 16 to halve damage and stop Dazzled.

"Do not fear my light, let is soothe your wounds."

Round 3
Lilianne will adjust her blade so that its light reflects into the eyes of the beetle once more.
Free: Hypnotic Stare
Move: Improved Feint: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 (If a successful feint: Blinding Strike - Fort DC 14 or blinded 1 round)
Attack vs Flatfooted AC: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 = 20 (hits normal AC if not successful feint)
Damage: 1d10 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 5 + (1, 2) = 16
Additional Damage: 1 other person who hits this round deals 1 point.

Blaze steps further away from the Aasimar and the others, gathering power again as the fiery motes bloom in the air in a ring around her and rush in towards her with a flash, like an explosion in reverse. Again she calls forth her blade of Flame again infuses it with her Elemental Overflow and continue to press the creature with her searing attack.

Round 3

Fire Blast, Kinetic Blade Form: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 1 = 28 Fire Damage+Con+Overflow+Lili bonus: 2d6 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4) + 2 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 17
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 25 Fire Damage+Con+Overflow+Lili bonus: 2d6 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 14

Wash, rinse, repeat. 5-foot step west, Gather Power to offset 1 burn to infuse Fire's Fury, Kinetic Blade infusion is free for Kinetic Knight, attack with melee Kinetic Blade Fire Blast.

Edit: I think I finally found the ruling on kinetic blade and whether it provokes AoOs! So I don't need the concentration check, yay!

Round 3
having joined the fray finally, Thorn joins in the battle as he whips his weapon against the beetle!

IF i reached it by now, attack!
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Confirm? 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Round 3
Andrei moves next to Lilianne to try to get a good shot at the hulking insect.
MW Rapier: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

As your attacks hit and connect with the scarab many holes reveal its end. The scarab drops before it can attack again. Though within moments the body is gone as if it was a summoned creature.

At the far end of the room you reside in you see a magical glow that seems to be turning on then off slowly. There are many large runes that cover the floor, walls, and even the ceiling. Some are as big as the whole room, some as small as a finger print, and many more in between.

In common, Taldane.
"Runes and more of them. I don't suppose someone among us knows how to disable, read or generally use them?" Thorn quips as the body disappears revealing the room in all its magical splendor.

Lilianne had already covered the fact she knows little about runes. Perhaps she could speak to her overseers sometime later and see if they could teach her something.

"No...and it vexes me. Do you think it was summoned then? From the runes? Since the platform back there magically consisted of a means of magical comfort to descend to this level, perhaps the mages used this room as a training grounds? Or an area to unleash spells? Thorn, I noticed you lobbed an acid spell before. Try launching on at the wall there."

She still watches down the hallway to make sure they aren't surprised or that the spider has come through the door.

"Aaargh, what a bite." Aramyros cries out, while standing up. In the same movement he holds his hands over the bite wound and casts another healing spell.

CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about runes. But I'd like to note that we're clearly missing a wizard or some other nerdy type who knows this stuff." Stupid Ethos or whoever Aramyros thinks for the thrid time this day.

Lilianne will turn at hearing Aramyros's cry and will aid him to help him up.

"On your feet, tough guy. You are supposed to avoid the pinching biting part," she jokingly states.

She will note the feel of his skin, if it is like it looks, or if it is different to the touch. You never know with aasimars. As he heals himself, she calms a bit more and lets him stand on his own.

"Ît șeemș jușț țouchîng dă runeş șețș dem off!" Andrei thought out loud. "Îmâgîne dă châoș îf șomeone jușț opened ă bâg of mârbleş în dât room!"

Thorn nods at Lilianne as he first studies the runes.

Once he has learnt all that he has learnt from the runes, he picks what he thinks is the safest Rune and fires a tiny orb of acid at it.

Spellcraft 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Acid Orb 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 201d3 ⇒ 2

Surrounded by her flaming aura, Blaze moved carefully to avoid triggering any runes. "Much to study down here, yes. But even if a touch will summon with these runes, something else must have done the touching."

She scanned the area for further dangers.
Perception+Guidance: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 = 28

The acid eats away at the rune and wall but soon dissipates, seeing that the rune and wall are unaffected.

There are two doors that could be closed to secure the room and another to secure the hallway.

"I don't know, you guys," she replies to Andrei and Blaze, "I heard the stomping a while ago. I don't think it was us. Either someone like Aukun came down here instead of up, someone is down here, this all activates automatically, or our spider friend is smart enough to activate it. I don't know. Maybe whoever was here before left this system on and we just fought what was left behind? No answers..." she grumbles as she moves out of the room.

She will wait for Blaze and everyone to make sure they are following, and then will move on. As she comes back into the room, she lingers in the tunnel for a moment to make sure the room is still clear.

Perception+Guidance: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 1 = 35

Yes there is no summons... yet! Where do you go next?

If you stick to the Northern doors you come to the next door and it seems to have a mechanical lock to it. Disable Device DC 40.

The eastern doors are easy enough, as they have a button. With a quick simple orison from one person or another they come up and the doors open to a clean elevator room.

The other Southern door has a keyhole and it is locked. DD DC 20.

Lilianne is tired of worrying about the spider in the southern room. She will head to where she had seen it pop its ugly face out of. Being ready to swing, she approaches the doorway in case it pops out at her.

Did they see the spider at the southwest or southeast door?

Andrei follows his Callie to assist against any danger.

Blaze is still convinced something intelligent is acting against them and likely watching them somehow. Rather than burn away all the webbing and disturbing all the small spiders, she took some efforts to secure the room as they left it behind.

She gathered power in the big open dining room again, just in case the Spider was lurking nearby and moved to be ready to launch another fire blast if need be as Lili opened the door.

Southwest is the spider door, at least the door the spider was coming out of and hid after being struck my Blaze. You try opening the door and find it stuck. But then you hear a knock on it. Then a muffled voice...

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Blaze puts a hand on Lilianne's shoulder to halt her advance, "Hold a moment, I hear something." She moved to the doorway and listened closely. "It speaks." She tells the others with a surprised look before she replied in the buzzing tones of Abyssal.

"This does sound reasonable" Aramyros summarizes the conversation without actually translating any.

Aramyros turns around looking at the expecting faces of his party, realizing they want to know, what's going on.
"Please, nobody attack any spider. They won't either. And apparently there aren't any more living dangers down here. Now that I think about it, non-living was not ruled out. So be wary of traps, undead or more automations."

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Blaze could not stop the slow smile that spread over her face, remembering the creature's hasty retreat from her fiery assault earlier. She replied briefly again in Abyssal before turning to explain to the group.

"The old masters changed her and imprisoned her here. Since she escape, she make this place her home. And it sounds like there are undead in that room over there." She indicated the room described.

Feel free to read all Abyssal spoilers. Blaze and Aramyros will explain thoroughly.

After studying the runes, Thorn explains its intricacies to the rest.
"Fascinating arrangement we have here. It seems that the runes are arranged in pattern similar to that of an array. I judge that these runes likely coalesce together to from three spells at the far side of the room. Presumably three different summoning spells."

With the rest explaining the negotiations with the spider, Thorn sees no problems with allowing the spiders to be freed.
"Can they tell us more of the place since they were here for quite some time and of course any goblin they can find and eat is fair game for them. Letting them know of some boundaries like Alia's forbidden zone is good. Awakening sleeping dragons might be a little too much. Any other aid she can provide would be nice too." he adds the latter.

"Interesting..." she comments about the runes. "We'll have to include that in our report."

As they speak of the spider, she wonders what setting such beasts loose would do. If they were to be violent to them, why would they not be to those who seek to settle in the valley?

"You should advise your spider friends to play nicely with Ethos and whoever he is bringing in here. We may let it live, but if they go and populate and take over the area, I can guarantee there will be missions shortly after to go out and cut them down. I just know these superiors. They don't like things they can't control. Still...we are invading its home. We'd do best to just leave it here and seal off the place like it was when we found it."

While the group was examining the runes, Baahir puzzled over the possibilities as well.

"How much of this place operates without the owners, all these latent and waiting runes. The automaton. Whoever did or does live here are more advanced than I would have expected in this area. Thorn, we may need to discern what combinations are possible when we get a moment."

As the others start to leave, Baahir keeps a keen eye darting behind him at intervals. He grips his blade with white knuckles at the various sounds and sights.

When the group members starts speaking with what is assumed to be the spider behind the door, his jaw goes slack for a moment.

"Intelligent, speaking arachnids? Were the runes some sort of feeding device for the spiders? I am not opposed the the alliance but it will take a great deal of time before I lessen my guard. Lilianne is right though, they must be cautions to not draw any unwanted attention...imagine if we did not have you two to translate?" he discusses with the group. However, he quickly turns his attention to the possible threat awaiting them.

Blaze nodded to Baahir's question. "Yes, they have used the summoned to feed. I think they will do as we wish, aid us in battle or exploring, defend this place, or mebbe even move to new home. For now, they will stay put and we can see if there are undead to burn." The flames in her eyes leaped higher with a zealous fervor. Burning undead was one of her few joys before she found friends.

Perception for door: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 = 18
Is it the locked door or the REALLY locked door?

Blaze it appears to be just a normal lock, you might be able to find the key by looking around the desks, asking the spiders, or searching the other rooms. South East door - Disable Device DC 20. You could likely burn a hole around the lock if you wanted.

"I agree," she nods with Baahir's words, "they likely have not been out of this area in some time. From my scouting, there are many dangers up above in the forest besides goblins and dragons. They are fortunate to stay here, as long as they aren't feeling trapped in doing so. Anyways, let us carry on."

Once they are done speaking with the spiders, she will move ahead of the group, signalling to stay back while she checks for traps and disarms the door.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
Disable Device: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 (DC 20)

With the door unlocked, she will stealthily open it, peering inside to gain an idea of what they are looking at. If there are zombies of some sort, she will attempt to identify them, not just their numbers.

Knowledge Religion (untrained): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 (Darkvision 60ft)

Lilianne goes into the large room, much larger than even the dining hall. There are spider webs on the ceiling and some among the forges. Though it is pitch black. You do see several armored humanoid shapes directly to the South hunched over, about six of them. You can't tell if they are zombies, or even undead, but they are acting more intelligent than mere zombies. That's when you notice one of them looks at you with its piercing red eyes and all the others turn that way as well. Twelve or more beady red eyes that look hungrily at you.

6d20 ⇒ (1, 3, 14, 3, 20, 14) = 55

Surprise Round

Lilianne and the undead and anyone who gets a perception DC 25.

"Âlrîghț you undeâd bâştârdş, ÎZ CLOŞÎNG ŢÎME!!"
Channel Energy: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 was a longshot

Round 1

Surprise Round
Lilianne will actually back up from the inner door and out through the main door of the hall.

"They saw me. We have company. Six of them. Let us align ourselves so they are bottlenecked here."

Utilizing the terrain, she hopes to set them up for a flanking target.

Move Action: Moving to outer door.

Round 1
Readies to attack if they come in range.

Map looks updated...On my phone can't add anything but they line up in the hallway. Andrei you need line of sight, so you should move first.

Round 1

Lilianne gets into position and readies an attack before they come rushing after her. Though the one in the front focuses on Blaze.

This ghoul stands tall and proud, his grey flesh robust and muscled, his sharp talons stained black, and his clothing strangely well kept. His flickering red eyes have an intelligent, malicious gleam. The ghoul looks over in a calculating appraisal while licking each gore-coated talon on one hand with the tip of his long tongue.

The overwhelming stink of rot and gore surrounding these creatures grants them the stench Extraordinary ability (10-ft. radius, Fort DC 17 negates, sickened for 1d6+4 minutes).

bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 plus ghoul fever and paralysis),

paralysis (1d4 rounds, DC 15, elves are immune to this effect)

AC 21, 50 hp.

Round 2

It strikes out at Lilianne... but provokes instead.

claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1 (plus paralysis)

claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1 (plus paralysis)

@GM, your "round 1"=Surprise Round? and 2=1?

Surprise Round
nothing

Round 1
Aramyros was not ready for any enemy, which came out of nowhere. But he had warned the party that there might be non living enemies around at least.
After the ghoul's attack at Blaze, he swings his scythe wide.

Attack, flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16
damage: 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (1, 4) + 9 = 14

He tries to use the flanking with Lilianne better next round.

Round 2
Attack, flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28
confirm: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24
damage: 8d4 + 36 ⇒ (3, 4, 4, 1, 4, 2, 4, 4) + 36 = 62

Round 1
As expected, they rush upon them all, really hungry for some flesh. Indeed now she can see they are undead; or at the very least can smell them. What they've been eating down here all these years, she has no idea. As it comes into range of her, she takes her blade and attempts to skewer the leader.

Free: Hypnotic Stare -2 will saves

Readied Melee Attack+flanking-sickened: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 - 2 = 16 (vs flatfooted ac if above feint is successful)
Damage: 1d10 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + (6, 3) = 18
Her blinding strike will not affect it as it is a fort save, but he is intelligent, so the feint should work. If he was mindless it wouldn't. Also, +1 to damage from someone else, once.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Sickened Rounds: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Round 2
Her strike seems to provoke a response in her enemy and it loses its footing, opening up a chance for her to strike.

Damage: 1d10 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (9) + 5 + (3, 4) = 21 (Ignore the 2d6 roll if she hits with the main attack this round

Once Blaze has heard from her friends, she takes a moment to tell the Spider that they have a truce and then takes up a position near Lilianne as she works on the lock so she might fire a ranged blast through the door at the undead at the first opportunity.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 vs Stench

Blaze wrinkled her nose at the foul smell but she is used to smelling her own flesh burn, so it has little effect on the tiefling. She responds to Aramyros in Abyssal.

Round 1
Fire Blast, Kinetic Blade Form: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 1 = 28 Fire Damage+Con+Overflow+Lili bonus: 2d6 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2) + 2 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 18

Round 1:

Fortitude: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 17
Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The stench of the oncoming undead doesn't bother Baahir enough to make him sick. As he studies the creatures, he gets into position behind Blaze to provide her with support.

Guidance on Blaze.

Round 2:

Baahir pulls forth the angelfire from his chest, pulsing it outwards as the wave washes down the hallway. The energy reaches all but the last creature. Only Yellow is out of range.

Positive Damage (D16 Will to Halve): 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 6) + 1 = 9 Non-Good Targets Dazzled for 1 Round.

I guess I have to spell out SURPRISE ROUND for you.

SURPRISE ROUND

Lilianne moves back to the group. Ghouls move forward 30 feet, not in the hall yet. Blaze with an open shot at the approaching undead hits the first one for 8 damage, lighting it on fire.

ROUND 1
it burns: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Blaze lands a blow that just decapitated the undead. 36 damage. Lilianne misses as the undead is flat-footed to her attack as she finds thick natural armor. Aramyros misses his target.

ROUND 2
Baahir, if they save are they still dazzled? Dazzled is -1 on attacks?

6d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 3, 3, 1, 6) = 23 They all fail, taking 9 damage. Blaze hits the next ghoul solidly putting a new hole in it with her flames. 12 damage. Even flat-footed Lilianne misses, slamming her blade and finding armor. Aramyros cuts deep with his scythe cutting the second one in half.

ROUND 2
As the new ghoul approaches everyone needs to make a new save versus the new stink.

The overwhelming stink of rot and gore surrounding these creatures grants them the stench Extraordinary ability (10-ft. radius, Fort DC 16 negates, sickened for 1d6+4 minutes).

ROUND 3
As the new ghoul approaches everyone needs to make a new save versus the new stink. Fort DC 16 negates, sickened for 1d6+4 minutes).

This one tries to spread out the attacks, first to Lilianne, then Blaze, finally Aramyros.

fort save vs paralysis: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

The ghoul's claw scratches through Aramyros' armor, but neither his stench nor his poison impress the Aasimar.

attack, flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21
damage: 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (2, 3) + 9 = 14

In his demonic voice and Abyssal language he asks Blaze how many more there are.
Then he cuts deep into the next Ghoul.

Round 2

Round 2
Calling on Blaze, Thorn tries to get her to move so that he can take her place and bear all their attacks.
He brings his own shield to bear as if possible.
If Blaze moves and let Thorn take her place.
Thorn enters the melee.

Her massive sword thunks down on the undead, but glances off due to its hardened bone or armor, she cannot discern.

Round 3
Fortitude vs Stench: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Rounds of Sickness: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Lilianne being the swiftest, readies her action for the next undead to come into range. As it does, she comes down hard on it but then feints to gut it. Regardless, it tries to run past to attack all three of them.
(Curious, are they wearing armor?)

Round 3

As your blows come down upon the last major target and dropping him. The other ghouls move forward holes in them from the channels.

Round 4

The channels do their work and drop all of the ghouls in the back before they can get to you.

End of combat.

This room has shelves with tools and reagents for crafting and forging. Nothing very expensive maybe a few MC artisan sets. The most prominent aspect is the many forges that lie dormant in wait. Perception checks to find something more or special.

Andrei stumbles past the undead remains to examine the party members for injuries.
Heal: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
