Rappan Athuk - The Dungeon of Graves

Game Master JoshB

Lefty looked in the room earlier when he was invisible. He can't see them now.

I'm out of spells. There's 3 or 4 to the east of the door.

Tessai smiled grimly in resignation, shaking her head at Lothorian’s words and the situation they had foolishly put themselves into - ’I am ready and will lead the attack. I need to know when the others are prepared to follow’ - she replied.

The answer to this (Due to message and whatnot ;))

"Right behind you," growls Garados-as-popobala. "Time's running on my spell. Let's hit it."

Oh, okay.

We're ready! Let's do this.

The last round Ting used a full action shooting, are we into the next round now?

Watching the others rush past into the darkness, ting lulls his tongue in a tengu smile as his barrage of arrows brings down the last zombie. Turning to the shaman "T'anks Wyran!" he nods towards the darkness, "Shall We's?"

just a little fluff

Wyran chases after Ting with his wand. "Really? I don't have a stronger heal prepared. I just hope you don't get hit too hard!"

Another charge if there is time?: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Nothing happens as you prepare to enter.

DMoG, It doesn't look like anyone moved on the map. Who entered the room in the round Ting dropped the zombie? It looks like Malinor, Lothorian, said they entered the room that same round. Tessai said she holds her ground. Since ting dropped the zombie, did Garados' attack happen? He said he was right behind them, did he enter the room? So did the people who entered that round see anything? Is it the next round?

Also, Lefty is missing from the map altogether. Not sure how I managed that. He should be in the room somewhere, too. Right behind the people who are actually good at fighting!

Ok, let's get better organized with where we are.

Thanks. I put Lefty in the room. Others might want to get closer to the priests and whack them.

Tessai is fine where she is until all are ready to go in after her. Then she will press inside.

Malinor steps forward and fires a barrage of shots at the first priest.

I think I can see the red figure. Sadly, he is just out of range for touch attacks. 2 shots.

+1 Pistol Deadly Aim Attack-Range: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 2 = 15

+1 Pistol Deadly Aim Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

+1 Pistol Deadly Aim Attack-Range: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 2 = 19

+1 Pistol Deadly Aim Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Garados is ready to leap into action as soon as the GM says so.

Ok, let's get better organized with where we are.

I had moved Ting up his 5 ft step on the map. Once the next round starts he will move forward. Hopefully, with haste, into the room. Like Garados, I'm just waiting for You to start the next round.

Nothing happens as you prepare to enter.

I thought this ended the last round and started the new round, but I might be wrong on that.

We're all Hasted, so we should all get in the room in the same round. Tessai went first, then the rest of us get in there. We can go on initiative.

Tessai has not entered yet, but she will when she sees Ting and Wyran, ready at the entrance. Once she sees them, she will rush the room and attack the closest enemy.

As Lefty steps into the room, he feels a sharp stab in his side as a spear jabs into him from an unexpected direction.

A leering, devilish creature with slimy skin and a long spear has been hiding at the entranceway.

Knowledge Planes DC16

longspear: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 1 = 23 (Prayer, sneak attack)

damage: 1d8 + 7 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 + (4, 3) = 23

kn. planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Due to his small goblin stature and extra dexterity, the devil's attack just misses the trickster. (AC 24. Whew!)

Hey, that's my trick!

I think I found what they summoned, Tessai. A little help?

Lefty takes a 5' step and goes into total defense mode. (AC 30)

Wait, that's wrong. If Lefty was denied a dex bonus, then 23 hits and he takes 23 damage. He still did what he did.

Just a little fluff, will post Tings action after we learn what the creature is.

Hearing noise from inside the darkness, ting, calls out, as he tries to remember the layout of the room he looked into earlier. "So's where's they's at Lefty?"

Just right of the hall. Priests are to the left. Four of them.

It's a baubau. A demon. Don't touch them. We need some "good weapon" action to hurt it. Cold iron would work, too.

Realizing 'Left' was still using the whisper spell, Ting calls out. "E say's it's a bloody demon, says it's a "Baubau" so's don't touch in an' we's needs "good weapons" er "cold Iron" ta floggin' 'urt it. Wroight."

What's the speed moving through the darkness?

Please do not bot me - I will try to have a post up shortly.

Tessai wades in after her bloodlusty companion, and attacks the demon.

Map position updated (with Haste I think I can get there without risking any AoO?) - attacking with Bardiche +1

Bardiche +1: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 = 24
Damage if it hits: 1d10 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 14 + 1 = 18

----------

AC: 27
HP: 45/51
Effects: Shield, Haste, Divine Favor

Assuming moving through the darkness is the same as blind: DC 10 Acrobatics skill check to move faster than half speed.

Seeing the others rush into the darkness, ting brings to his remembrance the size and shape of the room. Shrugging his shoulder, "AW, what the 'ell's wroight?" He quickly move down the hallway, through the doorway into the dark room. Brushing up against the first pillar in the darkness. Getting to a spot in the room where he can see he moves past the second pillar to the far side of the wall where he can see both sides, and draws an arrow.

Double move with haste
acrobatics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

As Ting runs ahead Wyraqn hears 'demon' and casts Protection from Evil on himself as he follows into the darkness.

Tessai's bardiche connects with the demon.

It screeches as ichor sprays from the wound.

Mallinor is up and then the bad guys.

Mallior's shots above were his actio this round.

The red priest drops in a hail of bullets.

The purple Underpriest casts Hold Person on Ting. (DC 14 Will save for Ting)

The red Underpriest casts Spiritual Weapon. A glowing green sickle appears in the air next to Ting and attacks.

Sickle: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

But it misses (unless he is held....)

The Abbott at the back of the room casts Sanctuary on himself (DC14 Will to attack him)

Are the 'pillars' or 'pews' providing cover?
will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Lulling his tongue in a tengu smile, ting blurts out, "I's has nothin' but floggin' arrows tipped wit bloody cold iron. I's'l 'elp Tessai wit da damn devil." Feeling some sort of enchantment, ting ignores it, as he tumbles past the magical sickle that appeared out of no where. Moving to a position where he could get a good shot off, ting draws an arrow and fires at the demon.

AC 21 (w/haste) tumble, 55 ft move, attack + 1 composite Longbow (+4) w/coldiron arrow/ deadly aim, rapid shot, improved precise shot, haste
accro: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
attack: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 26 for damage: 1d8 + 1 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 4 + 4 = 16

Does this mean it is our turn to go again?

With a snarl, Tessai attacks the demon without relenting - "Stand down, you monster"

Bardiche +1: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 1 = 26
Damage if it hits: 1d10 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 1 = 20

Bardiche +1, Haste: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 = 17
Damage if it hits: 1d10 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 1 = 24

----------

AC: 27
HP: 45/51
Effects: Shield, Haste, Divine Favor

Tessai hits the demon once.

Lothorian resorts to cantrips from the darkness. He aims for the red priest.

ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14

Ray of Frost: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

sneak dmg, if the priest can't see him: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Malinor stands where he is and tries to shoot one of the clerics twice.

Shoot purple. -2 for the second range increment and no touch attacking.

+1 Pistol Attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 - 2 = 15

+1 Pistol Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

+1 Pistol Attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 2 = 11

+1 Pistol Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Not great. 4 shots used.

I'm not sure whose turn it is. Should Garados be doing something?

Go kill the priests

Party can act.

Lefty zaps the red priest and wounds him.

Malinor guns down the purple priest.

Garados flies in his popobala form into the temple. "This is your only chance. Throw down your arms and give us the girl or I will wear your guts like garlands!"

Double Move.

Garados flies in his popobala form into the temple. "This is your only chance. Throw down your arms and give us the girl or I will wear your guts like garlands!"

Double Move.

Garados, are you 'hastened' as well?

I believe so.

With the combat underway Wyran runs in and picks a target. Running up to the priest he attempts to strike him with a Stunning blow.

To Hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Fort Save DC16 or Stunned for one round. Stunned: A stunned creature drops everything held, can’t take actions, takes a –2 penalty to AC, and loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any).

Also using Silkstring Snare. Reflex save DC18 or he is entangled and anchored in place for 8 rounds. The foe can escape the silk as a standard action with a successful Escape Artist or Strength check at the same DC, or by dealing an amount of damage to the silk equal to double the shaman’s class level, 10 points.

I'm hoping that the priest failed his Fort save.

Lefty closes and fires at the red priest.

ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 - 4 = 23

cold damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

sneak damage, if the priest is denied his dex: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 7

The priest isn't stunned, but he is entangled.

The demon teleports across the room to stand in front of the high priest.

DMoG are we good to attack again? I'm assuming ting cannot see throught the darkness.

Seeing the demon "disappear" Ting lowers his bow and calls out, "Does any o' you's blokes 'ave an eyeball on tha bloody demon?"

"Yep! He's right here!"

Malinor moves forward and shoots the demon in the eye.

Ranged Touch Attack+Haste-Deadeye: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 16

Ranged Damage+Deadeye: 1d8 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 4 = 14

Hearing the repercussion of Malinor's hand cannon and Wyran declaring the outsider had moved to the other side of the 'Chapel' Ting shifts to where he can see the other end. Then moves forward to the base of the stairs drawing a cold iron arrow as he does so. Stopping he draws the arrow back to the base of his beak, firing it towards he devil.

AC 21 (w/haste) 60 ft move, attack + 1 composite Longbow (+4) w/coldiron arrow/ deadly aim, improved precise shot, haste
attack: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 28 for damage: 1d8 + 1 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 4 + 4 = 10
