Adamantine helps with hardness but I am seeing nothing about helping with break dc or arcane lock?

Dis ting can change... shape into axe, hammer, someting... But, maybe. He seems thoughtful for a goblin. He clutches a holy symbol pendant hanging from his neck.

Maybe... Mitra no want us in there. Maybe not now?. With that he offers his opinion and the weapon.

Raising an eyebrow at the goblin's observation Ratel nods. Clearly Mitra cared not about what was locked behind the door. They were here to clear out the cult and temple of the evil one, Mitra's enemy, not batter down doors. If perchance there was an ally behind the door Ratel truly believed the 'Lion of Mitra' would have told them. Other than rescuing a fellow servant of Mitra, Ratel saw no reason to open a 'locked' door. But the others seemed to want treasure, and he was not opposed to letting his friends benefit from the wealth of the evil one, so he bites his tongue and keeps a keen eye out.

As if partially reading Ratel's mind, But that's impossible.

What if we's not... ready for what's b'ind dare. He liked at each of those present.

Adamantine helps with hardness but I am seeing nothing about helping with break dc or arcane lock?

Yep destroying the door is pretty much the only way. Can't make the break DC, and we don't have the spells to knock every door in this complex... So breaking the doors is pretty much the only option. That said, are we waiting for input from Thoron/Ciri/Jim ?

'Ok let's move on then. I thought Ciri would have something to undo the arcane lock.

Jim nodded, "Agreed let's push on. Whatever is in there will keep."

Nodding in agreement Ratel heads north into the previously described cave room with the fire pit and moves to the eastern cave tunnel. Pausing for a moment to make sure everyone was caught up, he shifts his spear, keeping it at the ready, and slowly move into the tunnel.

I believe he still has light cast on his spear

Terodius joins Ratel, exploring the next tunnel. Taking a position in front of the paladin (Ratel has a longspear, and thus reach) he pauses and looks back over his shoulder and asks: "Should Fralk have point? There's a bunch of traps in this place..."

We should review the marching orders in the discussion thread; the ones at the top are thoroughly out of date.

Treasure: One suit of full plate, two chain shirts, a gold hilted scimitar, a mace (Viridontii’s special mace, 2-21-E) , a

silver slippers sewn with seep pearls.

Moving around to the other door in room 18a removing the boards with prejudice using my sword and opened the door.

Anybody have an adamantine weapon?

Actually, that Blade of the Spellthief is adamantine... and can transform.

It can be a adamantine great axe or hammer as well as a cobra gauntlet and cobra shield/guantlet buckler and into a construct viper or a adamantine cobra all with +2 bonus or any other weapon the wielder is proficient with. The gauntlet shield covers that entire arm to the shoulder.

This was here but I hadn't seen it

That is because you posted first in discussion

Let me see about... the path.

Goblin is happy to take point, with some direction from those behind him.

Sorry, I did not see that part of the map. Beyond that neither of you can move that far as there are five Hell Hounds in Room 20. Everyone roll init.

5 hell hounds would do that :)

Seeing the hellhounds in the room south of him, Ratel gives a toothy smile, knowing this was what he was here for. Calling over his shoulder "We've got company."

Just some fluff, I'll wait and see how everyone else rolls.

init hell hounds: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

A haunch of meat (actually half a cow) will be roasting over the fire and curled up around the fire will be from 5 hell hounds.

A typical hell hound stands 4–5 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs 120 pounds. Efficient hunters, a favorite pack tactic is to surround prey quietly, then attack with one or two hounds, driving prey toward the rest of the pack with their fiery breath. If the prey doesn’t run, the pack closes in. Hell hounds track fleeing creatures relentlessly.

SEeing the hellhounds in the cave, Ratel, not wanting to block the entry, quickly moves forwards and to the right. As he moves he tightens the grip on his demon bane longsword and thrusts it at the nearest hell hound.

Devil DOGS!!

Not seeing an opening, the zealous goblin marches towards the action, practice slicing the air before him...

...Also, I moved Ratel 5ft-step per description (in and to the right).

Please don't do that. I'm generally very meticulous with the map and will move myself fitting my posts description. Brv had moved Ratel and Terodius from the mouth of the cave to their initial locations rolling initiative. I'd moved Ratel his maximum 20 ft from his previous location and attacked with a reach weapon. I apologize that I'd not described that in the ooc as a 20ft move (I copied and pasted an earlier post) but he'd already moved 20ft, and another 5 ft couldn't have happened and he couldn't have attacked with the long spear.

My bad on all counts. Sorry. Won't happen again.

Just because you are acting first doesn't always mean they are FF, the party has been making plenty of noise so the hounds will have acted before you enter so no sneak or studied target

Just the damage which rolled 25, the bane was rolled separate, that's what the "if a demom 2d6+2" was for. If that wasn't clear enough, how do you want us to handle it?

Jim rushed towards the action, drawing his sword as he went.

from now on give me your base attack/damage/ac and I will adjust accordingly. You can list it if you wish but don't add it. Not everything evil here is a follower of Set
