At the Foothills of Leng - GM Assembler's Rise of the Runelords

Game Master DM DoctorEvil

Grod reaches over Izzy's head and snatches the dagger out of the air. He turns it over in his hand for a minute and says "Careful with this, little lady. Don't poke your eye out. Wouldn't make for a good tale, and it'd be a shame to lose one of those pretty eyes." he rumbles, before handing it back to her, hilt first, with a smile.

She smiles "Thanks, Grod." She takes it back, "If anyone else wants it, let me know really. I'm not able to do a lot of 'oomph' in my throws or blows." Clearly remembering how her weapons did not work well on the demon "But it is neat."

Then they find two more of the things.

Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Grod draws his axe, careful to hold it high enough not to hid Izzy on the head with it.

Initiative: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

"Right. More or those nasty things. I thought the demon was summoning them. We gotta see if we can destroy that summoning pool."

He steps in and to the right, examining the floor. Just how 'rickety' is it?

Perception to quickly examine the floor?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Ancient Prison - Round 1

24 Ari
21 Green Sinspawn
19 Blue Sinspawn
19 Tot
15 Izzy
13 Garen
11 Grod

The wooden platform appears ancient and as a result unstable, but when Ari steps on it, it holds his weight easily without shifting, creaking or falling.

Ari may act before the creatures do. His perception above is a free action.

Ari thinks about trying to use daze on one of the creatures. But if he remembers right they won't be affected, so he draws his rapier and backs out of the way for now.

Actually I don't remember. But he doesn't want to be at the front line if they come charging up the stairs.

Ancient Prison - Round 1 - continued

24 Ari
21 Red Sinspawn
19 Blue Sinspawn
19 Tot
15 Izzy
13 Garen
11 Grod

Ari sees the bickering sinspawn, draws his rapier, and backs away from the steps on their side of the landing, hoping one of the martial types from behind will step into melee instead of him.

Red and Blue Sinspawn both react to the new arrivals, moving at rapid speed to attack. Blue bounds up the stairs at an inhuman speed, and attacks Ari with its bite and claws but none of the flurry of attacks does any damage.

Red runs right behind, but goes to block the doorway, attacking Garen who is next in line. One claw gets through the holy warrior's armor, carving flesh for a minor wound.

Garen takes 4hp dmg, and is at 18/22. Tot is up now.

Blue Bite vs Ari: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Blue claw 1 vs Ari: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Blue Claw 2 vs Ari: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Red Bite vs Garen: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Red claw 1 vs Garen: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Red Claw 2 vs Garen: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Slashing dmg vs Garen: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Apologies for the delay. Posting now.

Seeing Ari trapped on the other side and that Garen has taken a wound, Tot grits her teeth and hopes that she can substitute finesse with ferocity and push past the sinspawn facing Garen to help take some of the pressure off both him and Ari.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 That's a nope.

Unfortunately for her ambitions, she's simply too slow and gets knocked back, almost tripping over Izzy in the process. Seeing that she can't get past the sinspawn, she starts looking around in desperation. She sees the statue's empty hand and wishes that they'd left the ranseur it held as she steps back.

"Make room for Garen to step back," she says more loudly than is her wont as she moves to one side. "We need to draw it in so Grod and I can get at it!"

"I can't back away, that will leave Ari in there with both of them." Garen says as he does the only thing he can think to do, he bullrushes the beast.

Bullrush: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
