SOB!!!

Seems like we are in a coma here . . .
Not easy to do a game with just 2 people and the GM. I check this at least twice a day for what that is worth. It is a shame when real life gets in the way of one's adventuring!!!
Each little square is 5 feet by 5 feet.
I move to AA-11 and launch another bolt at Sinspawn #2. Attack: Damage:
Here we go!!! Initiative:
I move through the door and stealthily into the chamber to X-14 and shoot a bolt at Creature #2 in a sneak attack! Attack: Damage:
"Well then, Girdark, you and I will sneak in and shoot 2 of them with our crossbows, and then head back toward this door, hopefully drawing them after us; then Boyhi and Merklii can smash them with their dwarven hammers. Hopefully the rest will follow and we can kill them too." "Absalon, you and Siofra can attack them with whatever you want whenever you have the opportunity." "Let's do it!"
Continuing to whisper I say, What about the rest of you, Merklii, Girdark, and Siofra; do you have any ideas on a plan of attack?
I then whisper to the rest of the group, "What do the rest of you think?"
After observing this gruesome scene, I quietly turn around and relay the information to my companions in a whisper, and then whisper
A-ha! I say quietly to no one in particular. There must be a hidden door here, and perhaps traps. I will check it out. Perception - finding traps: Disable Device: If I succeed in finding a door I will open it and look around. Perception:
I climb back up the ladder, with Siofra close behind, and we re-join the rest of our group. I give them an update as to what we found, then go back the way we came, and on down the hallway to U-18.
I take in all these details, realizing this statue is similar to the one upstairs. I reach up to loosen and remove the strip of leather, and then remove the piece of black metal from the statue's jagged teeth. Seeing nothing else, I leave the cave and return across the ledge to the other side where Siofra is waiting. I relate to her what I saw and found over there. Let's go back up this ladder and rejoin the others, and we can give them an update.
We made it, Siofra. The bottom of that pit looks nasty. I wonder what's at the other end of this ledge? I think I am going over there and find out. Acrobatics: Taking 10: 10+10=20 I make it across and end up at N-8 and look around the area closely. Perception:
Looking around reflectively I state, Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I am going to climb down to the next level and look around more closely, and I do just that. Climb: Perception:
Hey, fellows! You all have big hammers and lots of muscles. Will you please knock this doorway barricade down for me so we can see what's on the other side?
After I round the corner I see that there are 5 more of these petrified corpses, and the hallway opens up into a chamber with the same pattern on the floor that is upstairs - I wonder what the significance of that pattern is - and it has a closed door at the far end. I say to Boyhi and Merklii, Let's go check out the door. I move to C-3. Perception:
After I checking out the room at the bottom of the shaft, I moved from T-7 through the splintered door to U-6 and looked around. Now I will proceed to T-3 and make a closer examination of these 3 weird human statues. Perception:
After I am through the hole I look around. Perception:
Oh good - you are still here! Maybe I should pay attention . . .
I take out my lantern and light it. I look around and see the broken door. Shall we see what is beyond what's left of this door? I ask my companions, and then I proceed through the jagged hole in that door.
Good luck to you too, Merklii! So glad you made it to the bottom of the shaft without problems!!!
I understand, Merklii, I do not wish to desecrate the statues either. The item I took was just hanging on it, so I figured it was OK to take as I feel it may be a key in our search. I do not want the gems. Looking down the shaft I say to Merklii, Are you willing to accompany me down this shaft on the rungs to continue following the drag marks and see if we can find what or who made them? I have a lantern we can use. Climb: Perception:
After I climb back down I say, This is amazing! Do you all suppose the rest of this mask is around here somewhere? Hey, Boyhi! Are you going after the gems or not? Merklii, would you like to accompany me to that door over there, and I point to the broken door to the north, and we can examine it?
I decide that I will try and climb up the statue far enough to remove the gold trinket tied on the tentacle with a red ribbon. And I ask Boyhi, Are you going to try to get the gemstones? Climb:
Hey, Merklii, are you interested in helping?
I quickly check out the rest of the room I am in. Perception: Then I leave the room and proceed to the rear of the hall and examine the statue there. Perception: And I check it for traps as well. Perception (finding traps):
I figure out that it is the mask on the statue that is trapped, and I will try to disable it. Disable Device: If successful, I will remove the mask to see what is underneath. Perception:
I study the statue and get the feeling that it is more than just a statue. It is too realistic. I try again to disable the trap on it. Perception (finding traps):
Perhaps we should search for Reimme, and return his longsword to him. I move to D16 and check the door. I first check for traps, and if none are found and if it is locked, I attempt to unlock it. Perception (finding traps): Disable device:
Do any of you know what "Reimme" means? Or perhaps it is someone's name . . . Are any of you interested in having this medium masterwork longsword? It is too big for me to use, I say as I show it to the rest of our group. And thank you Absalon for filling me in on what all just happened.
As I stand here waiting for replies, a thought rapidly crosses my mind and I dash across this main room of the temple and out the door into the courtyard. I quickly go to the site where I noticed the dropped weapons and retrieve the longsword and the half-full quiver of arrows and immediately dash back into the temple and join the rest of our group. I just remembered these were outside so I went and got them. and I show them to the others.
I look around and wonder what happened. Hey! What just happened? I feel weird and I am slightly injured! Who did that? Somebody fill me in! Perception:
I am so enraptured with the Harpy standing next to me that I impulsively reach up and grab her around the neck and give her a gigantic bear hug!!!
"Such a captivating song that Harpy is singing!!!"
I try to ignore the foul creature's song . . . Will save: Initiative: Roll to confirm critical: Critical damage:
I move to K14 and raise my light crossbow for a sneak attack on this evil creature before she starts singing. Attack: Damage: I quickly take an evasive action back to J13.
I stealthily and quickly move to I14 and stand concealed behind the pillar, crossbow ready. Stealth: Perception:
"Oh my! Now we know what creature the feather is from! Do you suppose we look like lunch to it?" I quickly move to J6, hoping it can no longer see me.
" Thanks for that interesting information, Absalon. Most unusual that apparently some thing broke 'out'. I wonder what it was?" "Hey everyone! Do you see that feather falling down from the top of that column?", I say as I point to the falling feather.
I continue looking for any thing of interest. Perception:
"OK, I appreciate you efforts with these. If you place the symbol later, be sure and let us know." I stow the feather, and move to N8, and wait for the rest of our group.
"Here, Siofra, will you please have a look at this black feather and see if you can identify what kind a bird it came from? It might enlighten us if we knew." "Also, does anyone recognize what this symbol on the floor signifies?" "Then I agree with Absalon, let's continue following the drag marks, with our weapons ready."
"Merklii, thank you for the information on Lissala and the history of her worshippers. Most helpful. And please thank Ore for the blessing - I am sure we will need it!" I say, "Can anyone identify what bird that feather is from?" "Let's proceed carefully toward the empty pool and statue at the back and check them out." I move from V9 to R9, light crossbow ready. I assume Merklii, Boyhi, and Siofra will follow. GM: I thought Henric, Abslom, and Girdark had stayed outside the temple to stand watch.
I take stock of our group and say, "OK, let's proceed. I'll go first with Boyhi behind me, followed by Merklii, and with Siofra at the end. If we get into serious trouble, Siofra, will you try and go back to summon the others to come help us? The rest of you keep a lookout out here." We start out, following the drag marks to the temple entrance. I say, "Let's try and be as quiet as we can." Stealthily I lead our group into the dark interior and once we are all in, pause long enough for our eyes to become accustomed to the dark. We look around and study our surroundings. Stealth: Perception:
Welcome back, Merklii! You are arriving just in the knick of time!
"Merklii, I hope you come with me! And be sure you bring the Ore. I am sure your dark vision and your other talents will be vital in our exploration of the situation in the temple." Turning to Boyhi, I say, "Good. I know we will need your defense skills." "What about the rest of you? Are you coming or standing watch?"
"I suggest 3 or 4 of us follow the drag marks into the temple and see what we can find. I will volunteer to lead if you all would like. Any other ideas, comments?"
Perception: Knowledge local:
"I am ready, Halla." |
