Cadeyrn Griogal's page

Hope everything went ok. Just checking in to see if there's an update. :)

Sorry about the long delay. My life got very complicated again. I thought I'd have some time to keep things sorted out, but I ended up having to choreograph an extremely complicated fight on short notice, and then production started on a haunted house and I've spent the last three weeks building a school bus sized monster out out of muslin and pvc.

No problem here on my end ... you do seem to have a very interesting life. What is it that you do exactly, if I may ask?

Still patiently waiting for a chance to kill that bloody spider ^_^

Cadeyrn tried to swing at the spider from his current position.

Attack with lucerne hammer: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage if hit: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 1, 1) + 6 = 12

Lead Blades Round 7 of 30

If I got it right, that means we're now back to the top of initiative and in round 7. Can I hit the spider from where I am currently standing (I have reach)

That's a nice way of putting it :)

Happy to get things into gear again.

Cadeyrn went up the hill as fast as he could muster.

_______________________________________________
I don't know how the hill goes over the map and when we can get to the lift. But I can double move 80 ft & run 160 ft, either of these should get me there I think. :) Don't really know where I would end up, so you can place me if you want.

"I'm coming with you Bladud", Cadeyrn said while deftly maneuvering around the rise and running out the cave and up the hill.
He started shouting, hoping Fala and the workers at the landing room would hear him. "Use whatever you have and try to get a fire going! The thing is hurt and will most likely not want to get near you then!"

Was more a suggestion for if the workers could get there fast (through the side hallway we had found) and maybe throw some of the bunks of the old barracks in front of that doorway (and if possible put the flame to it, as I think spider would not want to go through fire right now).

But only if it's possible of course.

Well, if we want to create choke points, we must also make one at the entrance to the old barracks (map name) from the scorpion room. So that it won't run away into the unexplored bits.

So recap of the current situation :
- Spider is crawling up due to being hurt by us a lot.
- The originally caught worker is still hanging cocooned in square K32.
- Some of party 1 are running outside to get back to the original landing where we had fought the spider the firs time around.
- Some of party 2 are going into the room from which they originally came to heal and try to get the spider there.
- Many of us are seriously injured, so prolonging the fight is not a good thing :)

Here's what I'm thinking :
- Best bet would be that someone warns Fala and whatever crew is near the lift to start burning the remaining webs in the landing room & maybe even start a fire proper to deter the spider from going that way.
- If this works it would most likely flee to the room on the map called 'scorpion room), it would be best if we can contain it there.
- Some people should best stay down near the other exits so it won't come out at those spots again (don't want to have a spider jojo going on where it goes up and down an up and down, etc...
- Those people can then help the foreman & the still trapped worker.
- I was planning on also going up to the original entrance, because with my speed of 40, I can make it there in a few turns.

Any other ideas/comments/suggestions/...?

Well, Torgan you're at 10 hp again. So no problem doing any strenuous activities anymore ;)

Cadeyrn swiftly made his way between the cleared webbing to get to the other side of the rise. He uttered some divine words which made his hand glow slightly. He touched Torgan, healing energy surging forth from his hand. CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

"This should keep you in the fight."

Lead Blades Round 4 of 30

Nis can you spark square J37? Then I can get to square J36 and heal Bladud or Torgan. I'd jump/climb over the rise, but I think I'll fail a DC 15 climb/jump check, and my speed of 40 can get me to square J36 without a problem. Just don't want to get stuck in the spider web still at J37 :)

Is everyone's position still correct on the map? Because I think if Hal is currently shooting from the position he is on the map, he would still provoke.

Don't worry Dorian, as far as I can remember everyone that currently could do something before another spider action have posted.

We are currently waiting on the DM who said there were some delays.
So it's not you causing a lull in the game or anything :)

@Bladud, congrats. Hope everything will go alright :)

@Bladud,Not certain you can get over to where you put yourself so easily. As far as I remember, the grey areas are situated higher than the rest, so I think you need to climb over those?

Can't seem to hit the broadside of the spider -.-

Seeing the spider retreat Cadeyrn swung his hammer at it once more.
Lucerne Hammer attack of opportunity: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage if hit: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6) + 6 = 18

Cadeyrn swung his heavy lucerne hammer once more in a big arc towards the giant spider.
Lucerne Hammer attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage if hit: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 5, 5) + 6 = 18

Cadeyrn joined the fray, dropping the still unlit torch on his way in. He swung his heavy hammer at the giant spider.

Lucerne Hammer attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage if hit: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1, 5) + 6 = 13

Have fun on your vacation :)

I'm a bit confused about which round we are? Because I think Nis, Hal & me still needed to act.

Wow that spider does a lot of damage .... Did Bladud clear the square he was in of webbing? I'm just wondering if would be able to strike the spider from the spot behind bladud without having to worry about concealment and such.
Not certain if Dvalin agreed with it or not, but he could take the elixir to make blasts from a distance against the spider.

Seeing as Lyla has readied to rain water upon burning people, I suppose this means we're back to the top of initiative? In that case :
"Nis, can you light this one up as well?" Cadeyrn said holding up his torch.

Will do the rest of my turn after Nisfeollyn as I would like to have a lit torch before I go in ;)

I guess she might be waiting for people to get burned by the little fire elemental ;)

Ok, so single target 4d6 fire blasts up to 3 times within a timespan of 1 hour.

Might be best for you then Dvalin. If we can clear enough of the webbing with fire from the torches, you can shoot the blasts at the spider then?

@GM, what does the potion of Dragon's Breath do?
Does it work like the spell Dragon's Breath (if so at what caster lvl & which type?) or is it an elixir of Fire Breath or is it like the spell Fire Breath (if so at what caster lvl?) or still something else?

@Dvalin, want to become a fire breathing dwarf?

what does it do exactly?

"What do we need?" Cadeyrn said while walking to the closest torch and picking it up. "Fire to clear out the webs and water if someone gets caught in the flames. I can provide the water, if really necessary, but I think my powers are better used on that spider."
He remembered what Jonas had done earlier that day and turned back to him "Can you do that fire trick again you did earlier today? Or do you need a big wooden plank for that?"

where is that scroll of burning hands when you need it. ;-)

I'm such a fool, I ask for fire, but forget to mention that I got a bunch of torches in my backpack, Cadeyrn thought when he heard Nisfeollyn shouting for torches.
"I've got some torches in my backpack! The rest of you go to the pit, there's extra torches coming up", he said to the workers. "When I'm not to busy fighting, I can summon forth water with my powers if someone is in immediate danger of burning."

Can I talk outside my turn, otherwise he'll be saying this as soon as he can in the next round ;)

Glad the messy days are currently gone :)

Just to clear one thing up for both groups. (As I think our idea of going at it with torches might be a bit slow :))

You stated the following about the webs :
The green area is webbing. It is identical in effect to a DC 17 Web spell with the following change- Violent movement will cause a new save to avoid getting stuck (falling down, being bull rushed, etc.)

Keep in mind that webs are Difficult Terrain, and provide Cover. No one can see more than 20 feet through the webs.

Am I correct in thinking that :
- When you get in the webbing you need to make the DC 17 reflex save or get caught.
- If you get caught you need to make a DC 17 Strength or Escape Artist check.
- Once you are free (or didn't get caught in the first place), you are free to move, albeit with only limited speed due to difficult terrain.
- You only need to make a new save if you move violently (falling down, being bull rushed, etc...)

I mostly ask this because I saw Hallvarðr make another reflex save, which in his case wouldn't be necessary if I am correct :)

Initiative tracker reposted for clarity. Not certain but I think you just got moved or something in round 0 from what I could tell on the map. So technically you still have your round 0 actions. And Dvalin, Hal is the dwarf from the other group.

Round 1
Cadeyrn cast a spell on his Lucerne hammer and moved towards the cave entrance, positioning himself in front of Nisfeollyn, in case the spider would try to get him as well. Upon seeing all the webbing Cadeyrn shouted "Loads of webbing here, so be careful! If we got some fire we could maybe try and clear some of it!"
Iron Weapon(Lucerne Hammer) Round 2 of 30
Lead Blades Round 1 of 30

I wholeheartedly share this sentiment :)

Cadeyrn dropped his backpack and rushed forward, once more drawing upon his inner reserves.

Metal bubbles up from his hands and solidified in the shape of a cold-iron lucerne hammer.

"We run around all day trying to find it and then it pops up looking for us!"

Move from C19 to B27 (should be 40 feet), Standard action to activate Iron Weapon Revelation for a Lucerne Hammer. And like the rest of them, I too cannot see spider on map. I suppose it's somewhere around B35 to D35 area.

Cadeyrn rushed over to the workers to figure out what was going on.

Knowledge(Religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

I know nisfeollyn hasn't checked them yet, but are the ogre's boots and gloves special? And did he have anything else on him?

Maybe instead of splitting up we can all go together ;) Get more milage out of a single bless ^_^

But as I stated before, I understand everyone's concerns. And I like the groups as they are now.

But first our group needs to figure out what that ogre was wearing, with the size of his feet/hands we should be capable of making at least 2 sets of boots/gloves ;)

@Torgan, I get the issue of "downtime" for those that would be resting.

I just have a gut feeling the spider is much closer than we all might have thought. I think it went to the area of the map that starts at D33 and here is why :
- Spider shouldn't be down the paths we have been going. Seeing as you guys fought through quite some nasties as well. (as you went through a lot of your powers from what I read here)
- both teams have also found no more visible trace of spider/worker at the points they reached and with us that was already early in our trek.
I'm just going of assumption here, as I do seem to remember you reporting not finding anything on your end.
- there's webbing in squares D33 & D32.

I'm not certain how far that part of the map will stretch, but I'd think it be worth a shot.

half of our group still is ability damage free and have some capabilities left. And our cleric could restore at least 1d4 ability damage of 1 person today as he still has an open 2nd level spell slot (which can be filled with Lesser Restoration)

I know he may just be nameless worker number 1 and we have done quite some effort trying to find/save him. I'm just thinking there might still be a possibility to actually find him alive. If nobody feels for it, I'm fine either way :)

Cadeyrn seconds Torgan's motion. No desire for team change, but if others want to switch around, be my guest.

What he might suggest in the current situation is that those of both teams that still feel up for it might continue the search for the lost worker.

Ogre went much easier then the swarm ;)

When Cadeyrn was certain the ogre was truly dealth with he doused the body and matresses by creating water. Cadeyrn then turned to Bladud,
"Bladud, you hadn't found any trace of the spider on this end anymore, am I right?" Cadeyrn paused for a moment and then spoke to the group as a whole, "Maybe we can try the path the other team used and continue where they currently cannot? Are you all still feeling up for crushing that spider and saving the worker?"

Cadeyrn waited until he got a visual of the ogre again before he would strike.

Lead Blades Round 3 of 30

Nisfeollyn had moved back after casting his spell, so only that could see was me peeking around the corner

Cadeyrn peeked around the corner and saw that the ogre had trouble getting out of the pit and the leeches had dispersed. He moved forward while swinging his Lucerne hammer in a violent motion to get extra momentum for when he would bring it down upon the ogre.

Power Attack with Lucerne Hammer: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage if hit: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6) + 6 = 14

Lead Blades Round 2 of 30

"Will do!" Cadeyrn moved just around the corner of the corridor. He strengthened his hammer with some of his divine Power. "Nis, Dvalin, get behind me when you're done with whatever you still plan on doing!"

move to I.20, which would leave room for Dvalin at H.20 and room for Nisfeollyn at G.20 or even further down the line. Standard action to cast Lead Blades, improving my hammer from 1d12 to 3d6 base damage for 3 minutes.

Lead Blades Round 1 of 30

"Now if only he would get some of those leeches on him. Would help us a bunch." Cadeyrn said while he looked at the wringling mass slowly getting closer. "We'll be needing some reach if it's truly an ogre." Cadeyrn put away his greataxe and drew upon some of his power to materialize a cold iron Lucerne Hammer.

move to stow greataxe, standard to activate Iron Weapon to get a Lucerne Hammer = 1d12 | crit x2 | brace, reach | B or P. Stays with me for 3 minutes.

Iron Weapon(Lucerne Hammer) Round 1 of 30

"I've got some torches." Cadeyrn said while he moved next to Bladud. He then took one out of his bag. "You got a way to light em quickly? Else let Dvalin do it."

Move next to Bladud (I18) then use my standard action to retrieve a torch from my backpack, so that Dvalin can spark it.

Am I finding anything I could throw at the leeches?

Cadeyrn looks around to see if he can find a big object to throw at the leeches.
