Eberron Official Campaign

Lia sends daggers from her eyes at the retreating Goblin's back."Oh, how completely expected.."

Usgar grins and is clearly about to charge forward to attack!!

Escher replies with polite phrasing, repeated as if by rote. "Thank you for your attention, but we are not interested in religious solicitation today. You are welcome to leave literature if you'd like." While saying this, he draws his sword and steps forward.

If we had more people with darkvision, I'd put away my everburning torch. Warforged eyes are as bad as humans.

Beren continues to stand still and smoke. The key to what?

Beren continues to stand still and smoke. The key to what?

"The key to the forge, you idiot!" exclaims the warforged. "Hand it over, and no one will get hurt."

"Well, at least this one isn't as bloodthirsty as the previous one, somewhat unexpected from a follower of the Lord of Blades."

Got you. I'll get it right away. Beren steps back, letting Kaine pass in front.

"Finally, someone with some sense," the Warforged breathed.

Escher will hold ready, waiting to see how this goes.

"Grr.... " Usgar makes a guttural sound and moves in the direction of the Warforged man and attacks with a claw.

Claw left : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Hi GM, I don’t know how you want to treat this in the initiative. Note that the macro with the initiative of all pcs is in the slides.

Surprise attack, huh?

Warforged Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Shifter 1 Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
shifter 2 initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

I'm not sure of the map. Is there a way for me to move up and attack?

You should be on the south east corner of the map. So yes.

It looks like I go first, so I will attack the enemy that's outlined in red

Seeing things aren't going to be resolved peacefully, Kaine seizes the initiative and steps up to the closest enemy and attacks.

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The warforged uses his rapier to stab Kaine.

Other shifter attacks with his dagger:
Shifter attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6, damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Escher rounds the corner shield first, hoping to shove back the warforged so that they can fight effectively.

bull rush: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Yes, I will take an AoO from the warforged in doing so.

The Warforged takes his opportunity on Escher.

Lia stays back and casts a spell.

The second shifter tries to attack Escher. He also shifts.

You miss, or your tusks fail to connect. The warforged tried to get you with his rapier, but it drops. The first shifter tries to connect with his claw as well, but couldn't get past your armor.

Usgar moves forward and tries to gore the Warforged with his tusks!

Don't forget your +1 to attack from Bless!

Kaine laughs at their feeble attempts to hit him.
"You would think that people who follow 'The Lord of Blades' would actually know how to use blades." Kaine says mockongly to them.

Escher goes for the warforged! but gets caught on some debris down here in the dark.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The warforged laughs at Escher's attempt to attack him. And then recovers his rapier.

Beren goes forward and shoots at warforge foe.

Crit?: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 111d10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 

The Warforged is gravely wounded, but not defeated. He stays in the fight, and tries to retaliate at Beren!

Warforged Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6. Rapier damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Shifter 1 is enraged! It attacks Escher!

Escher turns to hold back the shifter.

The shifter is defeated, all that is left is the Warforged.

Kaine steps over to the last standing enemy.
"Well, I was going to have you deliver a message, but it looks like you won't be able to."

attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 1 = 28
confirm crit: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 11
aww, too bad, it would have been a nice complement to my soliloquy.
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The Warforged is defeated, but an Expeditious Messenger leaves his body to go else where. Apparently, he was going to deliver a message anyhow.

Seeing the messenger head off..."Check the bodies quickly,we should move on...any other opponents will be ready for us."

Usgar starts to search the bodies.

“They were really weak!!“ he grunts.

You find three daggers, some gold -- about 150 gp, and the shifters' clothes.

Usgar gives the money to Beren.

“You were a guard!! You’re trustworthy!! You keep this until we split it!!“ he says grinning.

Beren raises his crossbow and shoots at Expeditious Messenger.
Repeating Heavy Crossbow (PBS, Precise Shot): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 141d10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 

Later. Sure. He absolutely calmly accepts money without batting an eye. Such ferocity and such simplicity...

"Okay! We continue to our target!! Always be ready for the journey yet to come!!" the shifter says and continues.

"Two almost bloodless victories! There is a tale in this. Let us move on."

After defeating the warforged and his allies, all that is left is this forgotten forge. The book points the way.

We head on...

A circular metal hatch, set into the tunnel wall and engraved with arcane runes, must be the sealed door that Elaydren told you about. In the middle of the hatch, a glowing circle of mithral depicts the same icon as on Bonal’s journal—the ancient symbol of House Cannith that predates the founding of the Kingdom of Galifar itself, a stylized anvil and hammer.
