[PFS1] GM Pudding's The House on Hook Street (Inactive)

Game Master Tom G

"Fighting shrubs and trees...this place is most strange." "Eldrin, what about sound? Are these things immune to sound spells?"

Grunyak moves forward and attempts to climb up onto the porch.
climb with armor penalties: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (18) - 3 = 15

He manages to clamber up next to Hux. Double move. He pulls out his axe as he goes.

I guess I will do without Lucifer this time. A big chop axe would be more useful. At least we will be able to warm ourselves near the fireplace tonight.

Drusilla stores her shield on her back, and switches weapons, taking her rarely used two handed axe

Note: AC is now 21 (FF 19) without shield

Sorry for the delay, I'm back now
@Taariik: You moved into the wall there, I moved you down. It's a confusing map as the dreamworld is a confusing place, apologies
@Dru you're not quite up yet, you can keep those actions or change them based on how the enemies act

Taariik strides forward and launches his blade telepathically toward the nearest assassin vine. He dances as he goes and the spirit of champions infuse all of you, even Huxwren who already has one!

The greatsword cuts through the air and slices through the vine as if it were twine. Large pieces of it drop down lifeless to the planks of the porch, but a chunk remains ready to attack.

Huxwren and Grunyak both take their time and clamber over the railing onto the porch, getting a better look at their opponents. The vines crawling across the old surface of the wall seem quite at home, and most upset at intruders, and the ancient oak with an evil face seems quite unperturbed by being apparently locked away from the sun.

The injured vine crawls slightly toward Taariik, and lashes out with a branch at its attacker.

Grasping Vine: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Bludgeoning: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Grab: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

The branch hits and delivers a powerful blow through Taariik's armour and starts to wrap around him, but the mighty Ifrit fights with all his strength bursting the grip of the branch and sending it retreating. The other vine crawls toward you.

The Quickwood also moves toward you, but it's roots and trunk move with inexorable force and tear up the planks of the porch as if they were paper. From beneath the soft ground Taariik stands on a root erupts and tries to grab hold of his leg.

Root: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

With a few quick steps however he manages to avoid the grasping root which is pulled back into the earth.

The Ruined Grounds

Round 2

Note that porch area is a raised a few feet up, and has a railing. It's not hard to get over. It's a DC 15 acrobatics check to vault it as part of movement, or a DC 5 climb check to get over it as a whole move action

Everyone is up!

Free action: Champion spirit dance round 2. All within 30 ft receive +2 to non-spell damage rolls.

“Be careful! They try to hold you!!!“ he shouts.

Taariik 5 ft steps forward and attacks the vine twice with his greatsword .

Primary +1 adamantine Greatsword, To hit: BAB +6, Champion +2, Str +6, Enhancement +1; Damage 2H: Str +9, champion incl. seance +4, Enhancement +1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 212d4 + 14 ⇒ (4, 2) + 14 = 20

Iterative : -5 + 1d20 + 15 ⇒ -5 + (19) + 15 = 292d4 + 14 ⇒ (2, 3) + 14 = 19
Iterative CRIT? : -5 + 1d20 + 15 ⇒ -5 + (8) + 15 = 182d4 + 14 ⇒ (1, 3) + 14 = 18

For clarification: I "delayed" Eldrin and Drusilla into round 2 to make the initiative tracker easier. Drusilla is only up if she'd like to change her posted actions; switching weapons would be your action this round if you wanted to stick with that

With two swift chops, Taariik cuts the first vine into pieces that slowly leak fluid on the porch.

Replying to Grunyak, Eldrin says "Yes, sonic damage should work fine."

Eldrin then steps up behind Drusilla and begins chanting an incantation. After a couple of moments he reaches out and lightly touches Drusilla on the shoulder releasing the gathered magical energy to strengthen the fighters arms.

Moving 15 ft and casting Bull's Strength on Drusilla. This will only grant a +2 bonus because of Drusilla's Belt of Giant's Strength.

Grunyak will mumble something. "Bless us with you help, oh mighty maker." Casts bless on the party.

"Well, should we wait for it to come to us or should be close to attack? Maybe if we can kill that other vine we can then approach."

Bless gives everyone gets +1 on attacks and to saves versus fear.

Switching weapons this round, GM, so AC 21 as noted before

Huxwren rolls her shoulders and grins. "Hah! All you tall folks think it takes a big blade to cut some grass. You just gotta know how to be precise with your knives." Tossing her dagger into the air, the halfling somersaults forward before catching the falling blade between two fingers.

Moving forward and readying an action to attack a creature within her 10 ft reach.

Eldrin magically enhances Drusilla's strength while Grunyak lends Torag's blessing to your arms and your courage. Drusilla switches weapons, and Huxwren prepares hers for attack.

The Quickwood continues its inexorable approach, continuing to rip up boards of the porch as if they weren't there. It seems to grow larger and more menacing as it attempts to invade the mind of Taariik and Huxwren.

Huxwren Will vs. Fear, bless: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 1 = 22
Taariik Will vs. Fear, bless: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 1 = 30

Both hear a horrifying scream coming from the tree, but neither lose control of themselves, bolstered as they are from Torag's blessing.

The remaining vine creeps toward Huxwren, who launchers her readied knife at it too fast to see. It cuts down the length of the vine ripping it apart and leaving only a little left.

Everyone is up!

Free action: Champion spirit dance round 2. All within 30 ft receive +2 to non-spell damage rolls.

“These things are kind of scary!!!“ he shouts.

Taariik 5 ft steps forward and attacks the vine twice with his greatsword .

Primary +1 adamantine Greatsword, To hit: BAB +6, Champion +2, Str +6, Enhancement +1, bless, pa -2; Damage 2H: Str +9, champion incl. seance +4, Enhancement +1, pa +6: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 302d4 + 20 ⇒ (1, 1) + 20 = 22

Iterative : -5 + 1d20 + 14 ⇒ -5 + (12) + 14 = 212d4 + 20 ⇒ (4, 1) + 20 = 25

Grunyak steps forward and levels his arm palm out at the vine creature.
"Corrosion is best for you." A shimmering ball of acid streaks out at the plant.
ranged touch w/bless but melee penalty: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 4 = 7
acid damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Hope it is not immune! But I think I did not hit anyway.

Taariik cuts down the remaining bits of vine easily and it stops moving. The quickwood continues to moan.

Grunyak you could move and redirect the acid splash to the tree if you want? (no need to re-roll, you need to roll a 1 to miss) There'd be no penalty on it and I think you can get within range. Or redo your turn. I also didn't notice that Huxwren has moved after the quickwood in the initiative order, so technically isn't up yet

If you get within 30 feet of the quickwood, you'll need a will save vs. fear. DC 20 or be panicked. Taariik and Huxwren are OK having already saved

Eldrin, Drusilla, and Grunyak are up!

Drusilla climbs the railing to get closer to the tree

Taking 10 to Climb, total 16

Grunyak will move forward 20' and use the acid bolt at the quickwood.
I might be opening up to a aoo, but i need to help.
will save vs fear: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 Hardy dwarf ability gives an additional +2 verses spells, poison and spell like abilities, not sure if this qualifies.

Edit: grunyak will use his reroll
will save take 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

@Dru you can't take 10 in combat, however you'd pass even on a 1 so there's no need to roll and you make it no problem

I'll resolve Grunyak first as he posted first

Grunyak CL: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Grunyak moves toward the Tree to get within range, shrugging off the horrifying wails it is making and fires off a bolt of acid at the tree. It strikes its huge trunk squarely and burns it. As he does so though, a root shoots up from the ground and tries to wrap around his leg...

Root: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

but the hardy dwarf ignores it and powers charges on through.

Eldrin is up!

Stepping back away from the monstrous tree, Eldrin pulls out a wand and aims it at the creature.

Force Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Five foot step, draw Wand of Magic Missile and activate it.

Wand CL: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Eldrin's magic missile shoots forward and slams into the quickwood, which looks rather surprised at being affected by a wand of a low-level spell!

You used up my 20 you monster :p

An host of roots shoot up around Taariik, trying to grab him and draw him closer

Root 1, cover: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
B/S: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Pull: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

The first strikes and yanks him forward, almost pulling him into the railing. Once there the terrifying maw widens and takes a bite

Free Bite, cover: 1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 4 = 30
B/P/S: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 5) + 9 = 19

More roots batter the poor Ifrit as he tries to maintain his footing.

Root 2, cover: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Root 3, cover: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Root 3 confirm, cover: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
B/S crit: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 2) + 8 = 14
Pull: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33
splinters P: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Taariik blocks the next root, but another follows and strikes him with deadly force right at his temple. It wraps round his neck and pulls him through the wooden planks of the porch stairs with such force that they are torn up, many of the splinters threatening to embed themselves in his flesh, however his defending bone swoops in to block them. It only stops pulling when Taariik is right up against the trunk, in position for another mighty bite.

Bite: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
B/P/S: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (4, 5) + 9 = 18

The jagged wooden teeth bite down and crush poor Taariik's flesh beneath his armour, leaving him barely clinging to consciousness.

57 damage to Taariik! (defending bone blocked 5 points)

Everyone is up! Again I've moved Huxwren down into the next round to keep us in one round for tracking. The fear effect is over for now

With the monster tree occupied, Huxwren dashes forward to the rescue! “Haha! You’ve overextended yourself and revealed your weak point! Classic blunder, but a shame you won’t last long enough to make it again once I’m through with you!”

Dagger, Bless: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 18 + 1 = 32
Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Move and attack. Hopefully the tree’s too busy grappling Taariik to take AoO’s. Thanks for taking one for the team! XD

Dru rushes to her comrade's rescue, using her big axe and enhanced strenght to inflict as much damage as possible

attack, Bull strenght, Bless, PA: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 26
2H dmg, PA, Sceance, Spirit dance: 1d12 + 7 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 9 + 2 + 2 = 23

(b]Come at me, tree, if you think you're the root of all evil![/b]

It's not grappling Taariik; sorry if my descriptions were confusing. It's using the pull universal monster ability to drag him 10 feet as a free action CMB after each successful attack

A root slaps at Huxwren as she dashes forward.

AoO root: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Pull: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31

5 damage to Huxwren

It too grabs her and pulls her closer before the root retreats.

So technically you started your move 20 feet away from the quickwood, which I don't think changes anything

Huxwren stabs the tree in a weak spot, her small dagger digging deep and all the spirit magic flowing through it causing it to burn the wicked tree. Drusilla follows up with a mighty charge, burying her axe in the trunk of the tree right around it's carved face, and then spewing wooden chips as she pulls it free

Eldrin, Grunyak and Taariik are up!

Free action: Champion spirit dance round 3. All within 30 ft receive +2 to non-spell damage rolls.

“Argghh! That hurt!!!!“ he shouts.

Taariik attacks the big plant with his greatsword and puts his ki into a action.

Primary +1 adamantine Greatsword, To hit: BAB +6, Champion +2, Str +6, Enhancement +1, bless, pa -2; Damage 2H: Str +9, champion incl. seance +4, Enhancement +1, pa +6: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 322d4 + 20 ⇒ (1, 1) + 20 = 22

Ki attack, 1 spent : 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 262d4 + 20 ⇒ (4, 4) + 20 = 28

Iterative : -5 + 1d20 + 14 ⇒ -5 + (2) + 14 = 112d4 + 20 ⇒ (2, 1) + 20 = 23

Severely wounded, Taariik channels his inner ki and lashes out at the tree, adding his greatsword to Huxwren's dagger and Drusilla's axe. With two mighty two handed blows he chops through enough of the tree's trunk to cause it to teeter and topple over backwards, dead.

Quickwood -98

All is quiet in the strange front-door-and-porch setting you unexpectedly found in the city wall tunnel. It looks every bit as if the front of the house had been placed here and the city wall had grown around it. The doors are ornate darkwood inset with decorative glass.

What do you do?

“Thanks everyone!! That was close! I .. I really don’t feel well!“ he says and sits down.

He starts healing himself.

I’ll deduct 15 clw charges. :-)

Grunyak starts to race forward reaching for the scroll of breath of life. "No! Taariik!" But then slows and stops as Taariik chops the tree to firewood. Grunyak's jaw hangs open.

With a laugh and a vigorous clap on the shoulder, Dru says to the Ifrit.

Glad we save that tree from eating you, Tarrik. No monster, however evil it might be, deserve that.

After Taariik's wounds are healed, you move cautiously toward the strangely out-of-place front door. It seems well maintained and has a iron door-knocker in the shape of an angry face, but Drusilla finds it unlocked.

15 wand charges would take 1.5 minutes, so Dru's strength and the bless will last another 6 minutes or so

Inside, after a moment of disorientation, you discover yourselves in a foyer. The low light of a single lantern reflects off the gleaming wooden floors and dark paneled walls. The west wall incorporates an old stone facade that holds tall, stained-glass windows and carved double doors.

West is up on the map as it was on the previous map of the house

It seems as if you've come in the front door, and found yourself in the dream mirror of the chamber where you fought the deathweb in the real house. Indeed beside the door you just came in are two windows that look out into the street, and rather than showing the dark passageway you just came in, it shows hook street. Opening the door again to look out shows the porch with its torn up stairs and the felled tree, but there is no city wall now, instead you see the night sky and the rest of hook street.

Based on your knowledge of the house from the real world, you should expect to see the Desnan temple through the doors to the west (up on the map), and to the south in the real world was a ruined billiard table where the unconscious sacrifaces that you saved were waiting. The house in the real world had nothing to the north because that part of the house had collapsed long ago.

As you are getting your bearings the stained glass windows suddenly move , and a creature made entirely of stained glass steps out of them as if it was emerging from a curtain of water. It looks like a cross between a spider and a butterfly that's made of sharp stained-glass, and it looks angry!

@GM: does this stack with Hux’s channeling?

“What is this?!!!!“ he asks.

Taariik attacks the big thing with his greatsword.

Primary +1 adamantine Greatsword, To hit: BAB +6, Champion +2, Str +6, Enhancement +1, +1 bless, pa -2; Damage 2H: Str +9, champion incl. seance +4, Enhancement +1, pa +6: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 162d4 + 20 ⇒ (1, 3) + 20 = 24

Iterative : -5 + 1d20 + 14 ⇒ -5 + (13) + 14 = 222d4 + 20 ⇒ (4, 2) + 20 = 26

Know planes: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

That was close. Could Dru have switched back to her favorite weapon (morningstar) after the tree came down?

It would make sense that the seance boons wouldn’t stack given that the ability name is the same for both Huxwren and Taariik.

“Haha! On guard, you rotten scoundrel!” Huxwren’s blade dashes out on an arm that extends and retracts as if made of rubber. “You’ll have to be faster than that if you want to catch me by surprise!”

Primary Dagger, Bless: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 18 + 1 = 21
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Secondary Dagger, Bless: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 1 = 23
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Spirit Power Dagger, Bless: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 18 + 1 = 20
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Full-round attack, and the Champion spirit’s intermediate power gives Huxwren an extra attack at full bonus as part of a full-round attack (that even stacks with haste! XD

Grunyak yells out, "Hit it with adamantine and spells can rebound off it if you are not careful."

Delaying to see if it is destroyed...

I'm away from the computer for a bit so please forgive the brevity

Huxwren and Taariik attack the glass creature, but both find the lead lined plates too hard to penetrate!

AC is greater than 23 I'm afraid

Knowledge (Planes) DC: 15: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27

"It's a type of golem, If you can hit it with cold magic it will slow it down."

Eldrin pulls out his spell book and starts looking through it.

Eldrin hasn't got much to help out here I'm afraid. So he'll have to delay his turn.

Grunyak after seeing that the thing is hard to hit, moves around and chops at the thing.
axe 2 handed chop w/ power attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 2 = 14
damage s with spirit dance: 1d8 + 3 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 6 + 1 + 2 = 14

"I never liked stained glass windows anyway."

PA Dmg, Sceance, Bull STR: 1d8 + 7 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 21

PA Dmg, Sceance, Bull STR: 1d8 + 7 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 23

Did someone ordered a glass? Maybe we were misheard!

For all her banter, Dru can't land a blow, and so become more serious after that initial failure

Beware, this one look tough...

The glass golem ignores all of your attacks. It makes no effort to avoid them, though both Taariik and Huxwren's second strikes left a few spidery cracks on the tough glass panes.

It slowly and methodically strikes at Grunyak who has moved furthest into the house, trying to pierce him with the sharp points of its glass forelegs.

Skewer: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19
Piercing: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (6, 5) + 7 = 18

Skewer: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20
Piercing: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (1, 4) + 7 = 12

1d4 ⇒ 3

Grunyak stands his ground and turns both attacks aside, and the glass panes of the monster seem to shimmer brightly.

“Wow! Hard to get through!!!“ he says.

Taariik attacks the big thing with his greatsword.

Primary +1 adamantine Greatsword, To hit: BAB +6, Champion +2, Str +6, Enhancement +1, +1 bless, pa -2; Damage 2H: Str +9, champion incl. seance +4, Enhancement +1, pa +6: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 202d4 + 20 ⇒ (4, 4) + 20 = 28

PA, Sceance, BS: 1d8 + 7 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 24

Following Taarik's example, Dru tries to smash the glass foe in small pieces with her morningstar

Huxwren’s dagger whips through the air like a snake, steel blade barely visible. “Better look sharp now - Hah!”

Primary Dagger, Bless: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 1 = 29
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Extra Dagger, Bless: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 18 + 1 = 24
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

5 ft step and full-attack.

Grunyak full attacks the golem with his axe.

axe blow w/ pa: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 9
damage s: 1d8 + 3 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 6 + 2 = 12
axe blow iterative: 1d20 + 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 2 + 1 = 19
damage s: 1d8 + 3 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 6 + 2 = 15

"You nasty piece of glass! I will smash you into sand again."

Taariik attacks and merely scrapes the edge of his blade down the side of a glass panel, but with his backswing he cuts directly into the edge of one. The adamantine in his blade allows his strength push the blade deep in, and it's too much for the panel which explodes in shards everywhere.

Crit not confirmed

Drusilla finds that one of her strikes gets through the tough defences of the reinforced glass and shatters a section, though her second strike doesn't have quite enough force and bounces off a pane. Her steel morningstar doesn't seem quite as effective as Taariik's adamantine blade.

some damage was resisted there

Huxwren moves with incredible speed, flashing her blade in and around the defences of the golem faster than it can block. Cracks appear on several of the key panes of glass as her dagger scrapes along them, sending painful scratching noises throughout the room as the blade scores the glass. Again the hard glass seems less affected than it was by Taariik's adamantine blade.

2 hits, crit not confirmed. Some damage resisted

Grunyak's first strike is so poorly aimed that the golem easy steps aside from it despite its bulk. His second slams into a panel, but can't break through its tough glass.

Round 2

Eldrin maybe 2 goes?
Grunyak
Huxwren
Taariik 5/30 bone DR used
Drusilla Bull's strength
Glass monster -74, 3 DRs

Eldrin is up! Remember that anything with spell resistance:no would work normally despite its magic immunity

Eldrin moves up behind Drusilla and conjures a small orb of green tinged liquid that he then hurls at the golem.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 4 = 5
Acid Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Moving 10 ft and casting Acid Splash.

Eldrin's acid splash misses the agile golem, which has felt the sting of adamantine and so focuses its attacks on Taariik. It rears back on its hind legs and attempts to puncture him with both of its razor sharp fore legs.

Glass Claws: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28
Piercing: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (5, 4) + 7 = 16

Glass Claws: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25
Piercing: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 3) + 7 = 17

Both strikes are intercepted by the bone magically orbiting his body, but despite its intervention the blades still puncture his armour, and his wounds begin to bleed profusely.

33 23 damage to Taariik, and 1d8 bleed. 10 pts used on the bone

Everyone is up!

Free action: Champion spirit dance round 6. All within 30 ft receive +2 to non-spell damage rolls.

“Argghh! That hurt!!!!“ he shouts.

Taariik attacks the big spider with his greatsword and puts his ki into a action.

Primary +1 adamantine Greatsword, To hit: BAB +6, Champion +2, Str +6, Enhancement +1, bless, pa -2; Damage 2H: Str +9, champion incl. seance +4, Enhancement +1, pa +6: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 252d6 + 20 ⇒ (3, 6) + 20 = 29

Ki attack, 2 spent : 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 222d6 + 20 ⇒ (2, 4) + 20 = 26

Iterative : -5 + 1d20 + 14 ⇒ -5 + (17) + 14 = 262d6 + 20 ⇒ (2, 3) + 20 = 25

Grunyak will take a step back, pull out his curing wand and tap Taariik. clw wand chg 13: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
"Taariik, you are bleeding all over the place." "This should help."

PA BS Blessed attack: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 17
PA dmg, Sceance, BS: 1d8 + 7 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 6 + 2 = 16

PA BS Blessed attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 29
PA dmg, Sceance, BS: 1d8 + 7 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 6 + 2 = 22

A weak strike from Drusilla, distraught by Taarik cry for help, is followed by a way more powerful and precise attack

Step back if you need to be healed, Taarik, I can handle this a few rrounds. Never met a glass I couldn't put down.

Grunyak heal's Taariik's bleeding, and Taariik and Drusilla's strikes smash into the glass monstrosity at the same time, smashing the whole thing to pieces. Shards of glass spray around the room, and there's no sign at all that only a moment ago they had been animated and trying to kill you.

A few rats are disturbed by the spray and scurry to run under the southern door. The last one stops before it does, sniffs the air, and turns to look at you. It speaks with a surprisingly deep voice.

"Turn back. You want no part of this hell"

It then disappears under the door with its fellows.

Looking around the room, it's clear to everyone except for Drusilla that something is not right. It takes a second to realise that there had been a door in the northern wall when you came in. Now it's a smooth wooden wall, and only two doors lead out of the room; to the west and to the south.

What do you want to do?

Taariik looks at Dru and Grunyak and smiles. "Thanks a lot!"

He heals his other wounds, too.

clw: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 8, 4) + 3 = 20

Then he detects magic in this room.

In case he does not see anything, he will open the southern door.

Taariik tends to his wounds and scans about for magical energies.

Taariik Charisma: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

The spell seems to function a little differently than normal. Rather than the clear consistent feedback it usually provides, here it seems to flicker and change, and the sensations are woolly and indisctinct. He is fairly sure that there is an aura of magic through the wall to the north, moderately strong.

Once alerted, Eldrin, Huxwren and Grunyak attempt their own divinations, but only Huxwren can detect an aura, though she is unsure to which school it belongs. Both Eldrin and Grunyak would swear that the wall was lead lined from their sensations.

Moving on, Taariik opens the door to the south, revealing a richly furnished game room. It holds a billiard table and three plush chairs. Several instruments, included a curled horn, nine-stringed lute, and a harp, crowd the northwest corner near a door leading west. A large oil painting of a handsome man that Huxwren recognizes as Nahum Calligaro hangs askew on a cluttered mantle on the south wall.

As you look around, the portrait begins to move. It sneers at you and speaks.

"Have you come to return my book?"
