Down the Blighted Path

Game Master Mustaparta

Bought some gear, mostly replenishing consumables, etc, though did make a purchase of a swarmbane clasp. All in my sheet

Before they set out, Dorn looks to the others. "I've got a week of food f'r meself. Dunnoa how long we'll be in there! Y'all need food or y'plan to eat crickets? Ha!"

****

Dorn takes up a spot in the front, trusting to his dwarven eyes to pierce the gloom and, unkindly, sniggering lightly at Glorin's torch-troubles.

I took the liberty of adding us all to the Slide 9 map. I added tokens for Jeanne and her griffon, feel free to change them if you don't like, Jeanne

Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34

I took the liberty of adding us all to the Slide 9 map. I added tokens for Jeanne and her griffon, feel free to change them if you don't like, Jeanne

Thank you very much. I just realized that I haven't find myself a token for the griffon (for VTT and like) yet, and the one you put up there is very nice. I uploaded the token for Jeanne I used for my roll20 games.

Kaleena, Therin and Dorn spot all three ghoulish ambushers lurking in the cave. Wasting no time they creep closer.

Dorn first

"Trouble!" Dorn hollers, his face contorting in a grin of excitement. The heavily-scarred dwarf immediately launches himself forward, hand whipping his axe from its sheath as he goes, and swinging at the nearest of the would-be ambushers.

Move, draw weapon while moving, attack. If Yellow has combat reflexes, he'd get an AoO on me as I'm moving by him.

Attack Yellow, Power Attack: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Damage (slashing, magic, adamantine): 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

No AoO

Dorn cleaves Yellow ghoul very badly and it lashes Dorn with its claws, but he dodges.

claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Glorin and Jeanne are up!

Jeanne raises her Iomedae's Inspiring Sword and gives everyone 2 rounds of +2 sacred to attack, skills, and save

Bite: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 + 2 = 21 Dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Michel the griffon will flank yellow with Dorn and takes a bite.

Michel bites yellow while blue slips past Dorn trying to set flanking position.

acro vs. CMD: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Therin and Glorin are up

Not good... Therin sends out a wave of holy energy to burn the ghouls, hoping it's good enough to save Dorn from exposure to the ghoul's disease.

channel dc 17: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 4, 1) = 12

Glorin moves up next to Dorn, trying to end the Yellow ghoul's life to prevent the flank.

Move, draw urgrosh while moving, attack Yellow with PA

Attack: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 12 - 2 = 29
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 6 = 17

red will save: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
blue will save: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14

Yellow is destroyed by Glorin, while other two are burned by Therin's holy energy. Red savagely bites Glorin.

bite vs. Glorin: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 Fort save DC 14 vs. Ghoul fever and second vs. same DC or paralyzed for rounds: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Kaleena next

Fort save vs Ghoul Fever: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Fort save vs Paralyzation: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

"You're just making me hungry, you little corpse!"

[dice=Fort save vs Ghoul Fever]1d20+6

[dice=Fort save vs Paralyzation]1d20+6

"You're just making me hungry, you little corpse!"

Don't forget, here's a +2 sacred on save from Jeanne's Iomedae Shining Sword

+1 Reliable Musket+PBS vs touch 1+Shining Sword: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 15 + 2 = 26...DMG: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
+1 Reliable Musket+PBS vs touch 2+Shining Sword: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 2 = 23...DMG: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Kaleena takes a step to her left and shoots at the orange foe and if it falls on the first shot she switches targets to the blue foe.

The orange falls after second shot. Dorn, Glorin and Jeanne to act

Mwk Cold Iron Longsword: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 24 Dmg: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Jeanne strikes at blue

Bite: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 = 23 Dng: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Griffon will takes a bite as well

As one ghoul is swiftly dispatched by his allies, Dorn turns on the other, still grinning dementedly.

"Oh you poor things, yer not even worth gettin' riled over!"

Attack, Power Attack, Jeanne: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 2 = 26
Damage (slashing, magic, adamantine): 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Iterative Attack, Power Attack, Jeanne: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 = 23
Damage (slashing, magic, adamantine): 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

I'm pretty sure that's enough from Jeanne and Dorn.

"Always with the undead! Skeletons, haunts, ghouls... Fat lot of dying poorly, around here!"

Jeanne, Michel and Dorn defeat last ghoul. Their equipment includes tanglefoot bags, leather armor and masterwork light crossbows. Survival DC 18 to follow tracks to their loot stash

survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Kaleena looks around and notices tracks leading into a certain direction. "We should follow these tracks to see where they lead"

Given their short, stocky stature its obvious that these ghouls used to be dwarves when still alive. Their stash contains a crate of 10 vials of alchemist’s fire, three tanglefoot bags, and four vials of soul stimulant.

One more DC 15 survival check to navigate caves.

Survivial Aid: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15 Jeanne tries to help navigate

sirvival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Kaleena helps herself to some of the alchy fires and one of them there soul stimuli and then starts checking her bearings on where to go next.
Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
