GM Otha's Carrion Hill (Inactive)

Game Master Otha

After opening the second set of doors, Piotr motions the others into the short hall.
"We need a trapspotter to go in there. There's probably an alarm set up somewhere. Maybe on the desk."

Piotr looks at his companions.
"Ah. Right. We don't have a trapspotter.
I'll go in first and take a look around."

Piotr tiptoes into the office, looking for any wires or traps of some sort.
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

While Piotr finds no traps, while searching the desk, he finds a hidden panel…

…in which is contained a wand; it glows when detect magic is cast…

"Hey, look. A wand."
Piotr inspects it and tries to figure out what spell is in it.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
"Huh. Nothing. I can't figure it out."
He passes the wand to the others.

Elena takes a look at the wand.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Elena identifies it as a wand of suggestion with 9 charges left…

Elena shares her findings and points to the area with the tables at the end of the other hallway. She will send Lyn to take a look stealthily.
Lyn stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31

Lyn sees a dining room, with 4 places set…the food looks half eaten so it looks like who was ever eating here left hastily…

"Hold on a moment, Elena."
Piotr tries to stop Elena from leaving the office.
"Let's check some of the doors in here first. There may be more hidden items, especially so close to this office."
Piotr moves to the western door and presses his ear against it to check for any sounds within.
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

Elena nods to Piotr and checks the eastern door. If it's not trapped she will open and look inside.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Meanwhile Elena sends Lynn to look further into that way, stealthy.
((looks like a passage way south))

Stealth Lynn: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

Piotr opens the door and finds a long hallway leading west with a couple of doors to the south side…

Elena opens a door that leads to a private lounge, with another door to the east. A thorough search of the lounge reveals nothing significant…

Lyn looks down another hallway from the dining hall, seeing a door to the south…

"Still no one here..." Elena whispers back to Piotr.
Elena continues looking through that east door.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Lynn goes down the hallway keeping in touch telepathically with the group, reporting his findings and layout of the place.

stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

While Lyn finds more hallways and doors to the south, Elena opens the eastern door to reveal…

…what appears to be Keeper Crove’s personal library. Elena finds the books here focus on ancient cults and savage practices from around the world. Other than that, you find nothing else of significance…

Think that covers all the hallways on the maps. Now you just have doors to open and rooms to explore…

"Not surprising..." Elena grimaces checking the books.

She returns to D5 and checks the door to the east.

Meanwhile Lynn will return to the entrance area and check on the doors there.

Aatish moves forward and overtakes Elena.

"Ahh, so long without action ... let me go in!" she says and rides forward on her riding dog.

Taking the door right to the D5 symbol.

Aatish opens a door and finds stairs going down…

Lyn whips his tail and opens a door to reveal…

A room containing a chair with attached restraining straps stands before a blackboard. Looks like it might be an interrogation room…

Aatish moves to the door on the other side.

"Ahh, Aatish first explores this floor before going down!" she says and rides forward on her riding dog.

Taking the door left to the D5 symbol.

Aatish opens another door…

…and finds another set of stairs going down…

Aatish moves to the next hallway and opens the door.

See map please.

This long lecture hall appears to used by the Keepers of the Oldest to hold meetings and discuss their discoveries. Five lunatics are here; one stands at the podium to the south end, whispering nonsense and gibberish to the other four who sit in rapt attention in the audience. All five lunatics shriek and rise to attack, producing homemade knives made from broken chair legs and sharpened bones when they do so.

"What horrors have these people been put through..." Elena shakes her head following Aatish around and seeing the interrogation chairs.

She springs into action moving in front of Aatish and tries to hit red to knock them down.

Sap +1 Furious attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Bludgeoning dmg: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

hearing more people that are giving issues, she moves in and looks around and moves between Red and Orange and slices at Orange she will be lethal about it

P attk: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

Couldn’t resist an ideal situation for a wee bit of poetry:

Elena moves in, humanely knocking out red,
While Zylencia separates orange from his head…

Aatish sees that Elena is using a sap and shakes her head.

"Aatish can only kill. Aatish will not attack here!" she says and delays.

Elena winces seeing the head of the lunatic fall down. "Zylencia, please! They have no armor against our attacks. The cultists have likely driven them mad, they are not to blame for this reaction. Your skill with the blade should be enough to avoid vital areas... Please," she asks to the Samurai to show mercy to the remaining patients.

Just an fyi, these lunatics are considered evil as far as this scenario is concerned…

The beast is hesitant to kill mentally ill patients in the asylum, however, maybe they have gone so mad and have been turned by Crove that there's no changing their twisted minds. He draws his blade and mutters a small prayer to Milani.
"Forgive me, but I will end their suffering."
He hustles up to the one splattered with blue paint and strikes.
+1 nodachi & PA: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

While Aatish delays, Piotr enters the room and disembowels blue…

White Rose double moves toward Purple.

As the White Rose approaches purple, the lunatic strikes at her…

…misses…Pink moves to slash at Zylencia

Knife: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Elena takes a 5ft step towards magenta and... decides to hit again with the sap. She can't bring herself to kill them. She doesn't say anything else to the others but there's a clear sadness and turmoil as the other lunatics fall. It shouldn't be like this. She has also seen people being taken advantage through drugs before by the Aspis Consortium. The pain and the horrors they have also inflicted on the vulnerable... as human as these cultists might be, they are just as terrible as the creature that came from beyond their reality.

White Rose isn't really good at this, but she strikes the poor soul next to her with the hilt of her sword.

+1 Rapier, Nonlethal: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 7 - 4 = 10
Still Piercing Damage Somehow: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

She reflects on some of her earliest lessons, which included the pointy end goes in the other person.

Looking at purple standing, she moves and turns her blade to strike

FF Attk: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

crit confirm: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29
Crit damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

Elena moves up and strikes pink up against the side of his head in an attempt to knock him out as well…but the blow hits a weak spot in the lunatic’s skull and he drops to floor, breathing no more…

As the White Rose struggles with the near impossible dilemma of how to inflict nonlethal damage with a pointy-ended rapier, Zylencia’s katana slices purple in two…

COMBAT over! Pathfinders victorious!

"Well, that was quick. Good work, all."
Piotr glances about the room, kicking a makeshift knife aside. He searches the podium.
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Elena helps look around the place for any clue or something of interest.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Neither Piotr nor Elena find anything of significance in this room…

Aatish also looks around.

perception : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

She rides our the other door and opens the next room.

Finding nothing of interest, Aatish moves and opens another door…

…and is greeted by a single orderly greeting her at the door with a nasty club…

Club: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

…that smashes into her side!

Gonna streamline this as all but one of you has initiative on him in the first round and he wouldn’t survive till his turn…

You quickly react and drop the orderly in prompt fashion…

This room appears to be an alternate entry room; the outer door is locked and barred from the inside. Nothing of interest here…

“Arghh!!“ the gnome-orc says and is glad that one of his companions can knock the orderly out.

She uses her wand of infernal healing on herself.

She moves to the next room!

Elena follow Aatish closely to make sure she's safe. "Let me go ahead"

Meanwhile Lynn will open the remaining doors around the entry quietly (D1).
Stealth Lynn: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35

Piotr follows Elena, his sword at the ready.

Elena mentioned going to area D1, but, our tokens are in D8. Where exactly are we?

Elena and Aatish find the room (D9) basically empty…and Lyn finds her room empty as well…

Aatish moves to the next room and as usual casts detect magic everywhere to see if anything stands out.

Aatish finds the library. This room contains a wealth of books covering madness, its causes and treatments, and many other grisly topics like anatomy, necrology, and studies of deformity and disease. Many of the books here hint at the Old Gods and their cults, but none are specifically related to the troubles currently plaguing Carrion Hill.

Zyl will check the room to the right of D8 don't see where anyone has looked at it

Elena will check the two rooms to the north close to D13.

Lyn will check the other two to remaining to the south.

Sorry, I was on the road all day yesterday. We’ll streamline a bit here…

You open several doors, finding a cloakroom, another library, some holding cells; in the library, you find a lunatic hiding under a table reading a map, but he’s harmless. You find nothing of significance in any of these rooms; you have cleared the western portion of this floor…

Elena follows Piotr's directions and explores the remaining doors clockwise, heading for the northern door in the dining area.

Lyn stays put in the middle waiting for any developments.
