GM Roll4initiative's Master of the Fallen Fortress (Inactive)

Game Master roll4initiative

I'm good...got my armour and shield... Dorgan says as he checks the edge on his axe.

You are right. Walks does not have the UMD sill and that that spell is not on his spell list.

"Huh. I cannot make heads nor tails of the scroll. Sorry, but I guess I cannot help with this."

Oh. Bummer. Yep. I just found out that spell isn't on any of your spell lists.

Dorgan opens the somewhat stuck door after a couple of good tugs.

Cracks in the walls and ceiling of this chamber have allowed rainwater to collect here, flooding the room and giving rise to a profusion of mold and fungus along the walls and ceiling.
(DC 15 Knowledge [dungeoneering or nature] to identify as a free action).
Although the room is flooded, the water appears to be only about ankle-deep throughout.

A loud "croak" issues from a creature near the far wall. The giant frog turns towards the door and leaps to attack!

kn nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
extra info on special attacks wanted

You have no line of sight to the frog yet, WwG. I'll give you the info on your turn. Oh! It's a DC 12 for the frog. Are you identifying the frog or the fungus?

The frog, I guess I should make another roll for the fungus.

kn nature on fungus: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Will give Rokhan another hour or so to post. If he doesn't post, I'll put him on delay.

Sorry, I work during the day. The post that brought me up happened while at work.

"Just a frog? Better than those cursed bones...burn it down Flamewalker." Rokhan says pointing past the group.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Acid Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Fire Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Cooldown: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Rokhan and Calderon send bolts of acid and fire at the giant frog. Only the fire bolt hits, angering the frog. The frog croaks loudly in pain and leaps closer. It shoots its sticky tongue, nearly 15 feet long, at Dorgan.
Ranged Touch Tongue: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Latching onto Dorgan, the frog's sticky tongue attempts to pull the dwarf towards its gaping, razor tooth maw.
CMB to Pull 5': 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Dorgan is dragged through the door into the flooded room and 5 feet closer to the angry giant frog!

Bold may act! Room is dim light (20% miss chance without low-light or dark vision):
Rokhan/Cal:
Giant Frog: -4 hp
WwG:
Halle:
Rahu:
Dorgan: (grappled)

"The frog will swallow you if you are not careful. Hmmm."

Walks steps inside and sets off another wave of brain burning colors using his scroll.

The giant frog stares at the scintillating colors.
Will vs DC 11: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4
The giant frog is knocked unconscious, blinded, and stunned.

It takes moments for the group to hack the creature to bits.

Combat over! I'll leave the image of the color-sprayed frog on the map for a bit 'cause I think it's friggin' hilarious. All Hail Hypnotoad!

Dorgan starts cursing as he gets grabbed by the toad.

You'll find me a bit hard to chew, you overgrowqn guppy! he yells as he moves towards the amphibian, then stops when it fall over out cold.

Well, that was...quick... he says as he removes the toad's tongue from his legs..

I'll dispatch it...stay clear... he warns as he lops off its head with his axe.

Please tell me that's the only one here... he asks as he checks the room.

percp: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Rahu helps Dorgan explore the room with the frog, then inspects the door to the next room for any signs of traps.

WwG looks at the now blank scroll in his hands in wonderment.

"Well, I guys the things in this place are not used to the light. Should get out more. I got two more of these things too."

The group finds no other threats in the room. WwG also lets everyone know that the mold and fungus on the walls is harmless.
Searching around carefully in the muck, Dorgan finds a jade statuette of an angelic creature which appears to be quite valuable.
After a thorough search, there seems to be nothing else of interest in this room except for the door in the southwest wall.

You are a lot faster than me! - Halle says, looking at how fast her companions dispatched the enemy - But this expedition is starting to get expensive... These scrolls can't be cheap!

She then nods to the door in the southwest wall.

I guess our next destination is kind of obvious. - the shifter completes, proceeding to examine the door for traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Very poorly...

Halle searches the door. It seems to be a perfectly ordinary, but very old, iron banded wooden door.

Walks gives careful thought to how much gold he is blowing through and decides not to ready a scroll this time. He helps search the door and listens for commotion on the other side.

Before checking the door for traps and falling in line behind Dorgan, Rahu lights another torch and readies his sai in his other hand.

"Best to not proceed blindly."

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

If you all want to do your own perception checks, that's fine. Just please put them in a spoiler and don't peek.

Pressing his ear against the door...

Dorgan hits the moist, swollen door a couple times with his shoulder. It squeals open on rusty hinges. Peering in, Dorgan can see several crude bedrolls lying about on the floor of this room, which is filled with the nauseating stench of troglodytes. However, there appears to be no creatures within.

Great...more of those stinky buggers are likely about...on your guard, guys... he says as he searches the room. Dorgan says as he rips a piece of cloth from his cloak and makes a balaclava out of it.

Better than nothing, I reckon...

Walks wrinkes his face at the stench.

"I, uh, trust you guys to search this room. I'll just stand guard out heeeegaaagg. Gads, how do they live with themselves? Even skunks have the decency to to spray unless intimidated."

Rahu recalls his encounter with the stinking creatures and nearly retches. "Filthy creatures. I hope to never encounter such again!"

He joins Dorgan in inspecting the room.

Surprise round time! At the beginning of your turn, I need three DC 13 Fort saves from everyone. Sickened for 1 minute if you fail any of them.

Dorgan steps into the room...

The two troglodytes by the door each rake with a claw.
Blue Trog: 1d20 ⇒ 3
slashing: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Green Trog: 1d20 ⇒ 3
slashing: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
And swipe over his head, almost comically hitting themselves as they spin in place!

And the trog in the back throws a javelin.
Yellow Trog: 1d20 ⇒ 9
piercing: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4
Which hits the wall above the door and shatters into a hail of splinters!

Bold may act! Room is dim light (20% miss chance without low-light or dark vision):
Rokhan/Cal:
Rahu: (torch)
WwG:
Dorgan:
Trogs:
Halle:

That's weird. The trogs by the door actually rolled Nat 1's. The die rolls changed.

Walks decides to (DC 13) Daze the troglogyte on the left.

3 Fort saves, please, WwG.
Trog Fort save: 1d20 ⇒ 12
The blue scaled troglodyte stares with a dumbfounded look on its face.
"Derp."

fort: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 = 18
fort: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13
fort: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 = 21

I'm prepared for you this time, you stinking scaly freaks! Dorgan says as he wheels on the trog to his right and brings his axe down with a grunt of exertion.

axe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

He steps forward to get out of the doorway.

5ft step

Rahu steps into the room.
Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Managing to stifle his body's response to the stench, he attacks the same troglogyte as Dorgan with his sai.
Attack(mw sai): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Attack(mw sai): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Sorry, I missed that.

fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Going to have to do something about that fort save. +2 is pretty bad.

WwG dazes blue, then pukes on his own boots from the stench. Dorgan swings wide with his axe, failing to hit the troglodyte. Rahu moves in and smacks the blue trog upside the head with his sai. The trog, stunned, grunts in pain.

Rokhan/Cal are up!

Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Rokhan falls ill from the stench but still attempts to move up but can't get through. Instead he points at Calderon and then Rahu.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

The stench eventually overwhelms the dinosaur as well, he instead waits with his master.

@Rokhan: You can move freely through allies' squares, but will provoke from the trogs. If you'd like to take actions, go ahead.

Dumbfounded, the blue tinted trog does nothing. The green scaled trog glares at his blue tinted buddy and angrily shouts what sounds like very bad words in draconic. It then flails out with both dirty claws at Rahu.
Claw & flanking: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
slash 'n' bash: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Claw & flanking: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
slash 'n' bash: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
He misses with both claws and glares at his pal.

The yellow crested troglodyte grabs a javelin from its back and hurls it at Dorgan.
javelin into melee: 1d20 ⇒ 18
piercing: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
Nailing Dorgan in his side.

Bold may act! Room is dim light (20% miss chance without low-light or dark vision):
Rokhan/Cal: (sickened, actions?)
Rahu: (torch)
WwG: (sickened)
Dorgan: -5 hp
Blue: -3 hp
Green:
Yellow:
Halle:

does it get the -4 penalty for firing into melee?

Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 Sickened!
Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 Extra sickened!

Halle feels sick with the very bad smell, yet she brushes off and moves in the room, trying to reach the further enemy - and trying to move carefully to avoid the enemies to take the opportunity to hit her.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

She has her scimitar at hands, but her biting teeth are prominent, and a strange fey-looking sting can be seeing popping out of her as well.

Halle is also overwhelmed with the terrible stench after the door swings open. She tucks into a roll to tumble past the green troglodyte, vomit pouring out her mouth and all over her clothes as she somersaults. The troglodyte swipes its claws at her.
Claw & flanking: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
slash 'n' bash: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
And misses.

@Halle: according to the rules, "...you can move through a threatened square without provoking an attack of opportunity from an enemy by using Acrobatics. When moving in this way, you move at half speed."
You failed the Acrobatics check and, with a double move, would end up at the end of the pink arrows on the map by the 30' text.

Bold may act! Room is darkness:
Rokhan/Cal: (sickened, actions?)
Rahu: (torch)
WwG: (sickened)
Dorgan: -5 hp
Blue: -3 hp
Green:
Yellow:
Halle: (sickened)

Rahu continues his assault on the blue troglodyte, then takes a step into the room to avoid being flanked by green.

Attack (mw sai vs. blue): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Attack (mw sai vs. blue): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Walks just bulls his way forward, not relying on any fancy footwork, ending up within reach of the javelin thrower with his longspear pointed at it's chest. At least this way he can keep his stomach in an upright position.

Rahu flurries with his sai, smacking the trog in the ribs with the second blow. WwG shows the pointy end of his spear up close to the yellow crested trog. The trog momentarily freezes in fear.

Rokhan & Dorgan are up!

I want that one's head! Meantime, I'm gonna deal with his friend here... Dorgan spits in pain as he rips the spear from the wound and tosses it aside. he swings his axe at the trog in front of him.

axe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

The blue troglodyte raises its claws in a desperate attempt to block the incoming axe and lashes out, but Dorgan's axe strikes the blue trog, cutting deep in its side. The trog drops lifeless to the floor.

Rokhan is up!

Rokhan rushes into the room sliding by foe and friend. With Calderon hanging on, guiding his next attack.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 2 = 18

Before turning to send his magic out at the on occupied yellow trogg.

Acid Splash vs Touch (w/ Guidance: 1d20 + 3 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 - 2 + 1 = 4
Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Rokhan's acid dart misses the trog, burning a small hole in the wall next to the trog. The yellow-crested trog, almost pinned against the wall by WwG's spear, makes a run for it.
Walks jabs at the fleeing trog with his spear.
AoO Longspear: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 1 - 2 = 19
Damage Longspear: 1d8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 - 2 = 7
Crit confirm Longspear: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 1 - 2 = 11
Badly injured, it darts to the southeastern door, avoiding getting near Halle, and starts pounding on the door.

The green trog swipes at Rahu with its dirty claws.
claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
slash 'n' bash: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
slash 'n' bash: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
Missing with both claws. It then steps to the side, away from Rahu.

Halle is up!

Rokhan/Cal: (sickened)
Rahu: (torch)
WwG: (sickened)
Dorgan:[/b] -5 hp
Blue:
Green:
Yellow: -7
Halle: (sickened)

Halle tries to move to intercept the fleeing enemy, while still keeping an empty space for her colleagues if needed.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 2 - 0 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 2 - 0 = 13 Using Scimitar, Sickened, Combat Expertise
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Her AC is now 19 + 1 = 20

Halle swings at the trog as it bangs on the door and barks in draconic. It dodges out of the way of Halle's scimitar.

Bold are up!

Rokhan/Cal: (sickened)
Rahu: (torch)
WwG: (sickened)
Dorgan: -5 hp
Green:
Yellow: -7 hp
Brute:
Halle: (sickened)

Rahu turns his attention toward the green trog, and steps further into the room.

Attack (mw sai): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Attack (mw sai): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Walks watches with amazement as his spear almost moves on its own and pierces the trog viscously before the trog flees towards the door. Naturally WwG follows and tries to repeat the feat.

to hit: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 1 - 2 = 13
damage: 1d8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 - 2 = 6

Dorgan strides confidently over to the green scaled trog and swings his axe with bad intentions.

axe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d10 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

I'm saving you for last, guppy! he points to the yellow scaled one

*facepalm*...i'm trying to be a murderhobo....
