Dungeon Master S's "Abomination Vaults" AP

Game Master Chris Marsh

Noroc moves into the small chamber and focuses his attention on the one that seems more hurt. Cast divine lance.

spell attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
good: 3d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3, 3) + 4 = 14

Stride, Cast a Spell ◈◈.

Unfortunately the stink makes Noroc's eyes water and his aim suffer.

The ghasts rip into their foes with their wordless savagery. Seeing a paralyzed Tal take the wounds, knowing he can feel the pain, but can't so much as flinch...
Bite Tal 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30 for DMG: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Bite Tal 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 for DMG: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Bite Tal 3: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 Teeth hit armor!

At least Peldur can fight back:
Bite Peldur 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23MISS
Bite Peldur 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 for DMG: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Bite Peldur 3: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 MISS

Carrufikus feels the sickness swirling within him, but he attempts to casts a three action heal spell to heal the wounds of his allies and hopefully harm the vile ghasts!

◆◆◆ Casts Heal

Heal III (3 Action) Vitality: 3d10 ⇒ (1, 10, 3) = 14

Basic DC 22 Fortitude

Bibi glances over her shoulder, and sees the ghast ripping into a helpless Tal. Her eyes widen, then narrow in determined outrage. She scoots over to engage Black--hopefully to take its ire off of Tal as well.

kukri v Off Guard: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
damage, Sneak Attack: 2d6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 + (3, 4) = 15

Dagger v Off Guard: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Damage, Sneak attack: 2d4 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 + (4, 2) = 13

Hero point reroll on kukri strike

kukri v Off Guard: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
damage, Sneak Attack: 2d6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) + 4 + (4, 6) = 23

...THAT'S what you get, you skid mark!!

If the crit effect fires off, the ghoul takes bleed: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 bleed damage, and Bibi gains hp: 1d8 ⇒ 3 temp HP

Carrufikus floods the field with vital energy.

Black FORT: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 CRIT
Red FORT: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 Fail

Carrufikus (60/80, Sickened 1): Heal

Holding Bibi's dice for now.

Peldur (75/92, Sickened 1)
Carrufikus (74/80, Sickened 1)
Elena (56/56):

Oops, I meant to update, and didn't. Tal fights back against the ghast's power and regains control.

"You are fighting your inevitable rest. Allow us to make this quick," Elena says, not really expecting the ghasts to see the wisdom to her words.

So she hurls more lightning at them.
Electric Arc (E), DC 22 Reflex: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 4) = 15

Fort: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

Peldur does what he knows best.

Flurry: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Flurry: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 14 - 4 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Claw: 1d20 + 14 - 8 ⇒ (12) + 14 - 8 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Claw: 1d20 + 14 - 12 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 12 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Black: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Red: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Elena's spell zaps both. Peldur and Bibi combine to bring them down. Sadly, the stink doesn't really go away. Bibi still needed to use the Hero Point. Regardless, your victory earns you 60 XP.

I doubt there's anything of value here...but I've been wrong in the past!

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Then, move into the hallway & check this place out a bit closer...

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I am feeling very sick. I can try and treat any wounds if any of your are hurt, but honestly, I feel wretched . . . "

Carrufikus retches

Fortitude: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

The process continues for a while . . .

Fortitude: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Fortitude: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Eventually, Carrufikus feels better.

"Okay, I'm ready to move on. Just tell me where we are going."
