Duke Vars's page

"Ok, looks like we still need something to pass this. Gotta look around some more. "

I'm a bit fuzzy on what we have left to investigate.

Do we have anything which would seem to fit in the indentations.

"Ok, something changed, might as well check it out. " and he heads down into the mist.

"Ok, there's something odd here, but I don't understand what. "
he'll try pushing in a different face.

Vars will push on the depressed one.

Ok, did you mean check out the stairwell itself? Any other locations to check? Do we need to magic types to take a look?

"Ok, let's move on. " and he heads for the stairway with the weird fog.

"OK, that's a good baseline. Give it a whirl. "

"How will we tell?"

"I've already got an amulet. Someone else could make use of it. "

"Oh, a new toy. What now?"

There was another passage to try right? We'll go there.

"Since we're here to loot, yes. Good intentions won't pay for some sun orchid elixir. "

knowledge nobility: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

"Don't quite recall that one. "

Yes.

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be. " and he starts moving to the indicated hallway.

Vars spends a bit of time contorting himself on the floor making pained noises before finally getting back up.

"Damned back does that if I don't sleep in a proper bed. "

"Where to now?"

Vars wakes up and his back aches. After climbing down the rope, he almost falls the last bit of the climb.

"Aww crap, I got the worst crick in my back dammit! " and he proceeds to lie down on his back and starts to to move around on the ground.

Vars has comfort full plate so he can sleep in it at no penalty.

"No ideas. I can take the middle shift. " as he climbs up the rope.

Think we were deciding to rest. I think how we go about that is the concern.

"That's not a bad idea Mahb. I'm a shadow of my normal grumpy self right now. "

"That's quite a nice den, and it goes with you. Brilliant. "

Vars will back up as requested.

"Good riddance. That was a nasty piece of work. " he says as the bones crumble into dust.

Vars is at 19/94

"Let me finish with this, then we'll check the door. She went into the pillar."

"Wait a sec, if it regenerates, and it went in here, there has a be a way to put it down for good. " and he starts hacking open the pillar the nemhain went into with his adamantine falcata.

"At my age, I hardly have any idea how I piss anyone off anymore. If it's a ghost do you think it will be coming back?"

"Did we win? Is it just hiding?"

In for a penny, in for a pound. he thinks to himself as he renews his attack on the spirit.

AOO
power attack, +4 adamantine
to hit: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (4) + 29 = 33 damage: 1d8 + 20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 8 = 35

Can't crit something which is noncorporeal

Sorry, didn't realize I was up. Honestly Vars is too messed up to provoke the Nemhain any further.

HP (30 down from con loss so 75 more, so 19/ 94 current)

"ARGHHH! Dammit I hate ghosts!"

and he again tries to beat it down. Unlikely that I can manage to run away, and my touch AC is a joke against this thing so I might as well just fight

power attack
to hit: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (14) + 29 = 43 damage: 1d8 + 32 ⇒ (4) + 32 = 36
to hit: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (1) + 24 = 25 damage: 1d8 + 32 ⇒ (7) + 32 = 39 miss
to hit: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23 damage: 1d8 + 32 ⇒ (6) + 32 = 38

Rather wish I had ghost touch or elixir of spirit sight.

At the rate of 4 con per round, I need help. I don't have a whole lot of con

Vars scream out in pain as his vitality is drained from him.

"What in the Nine Hells!"

he then swings at the one that hurt him.

power attack
to hit: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (16) + 29 = 45 damage: 1d8 + 32 ⇒ (6) + 32 = 38
to hit: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 26 damage: 1d8 + 32 ⇒ (7) + 32 = 39 miss
to hit: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23 damage: 1d8 + 32 ⇒ (2) + 32 = 34

"Oh hell, gotta do it eventually.

then he will check the coffin for traps and if clear, open it
perception: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (15) + 26 = 41

Vars will continue down the stairs.

Once the women become inane Vars just ignores them and looks around for anything interesting.

perception: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (13) + 26 = 39

"No I'm not of the blood, but I'm on a task to redeem the family, or so said the man who hired me. What is remembered of the family isn't good. "

Not wanting to get stiff standing around Vars just goes down the central passage.

He will squint again and look around the room.
perception: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (16) + 26 = 42
perception: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (2) + 26 = 28

Vars tries to recall some of his nobility studies.

knowledge nobility: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23 nope

But he really didn't care much about families in shame, only ones which could profit him.

As there is a way out of the room, the Duke leads the way in that direction.

"Gotta keep a move on so my legs don't fall asleep. I hate that tingly business. "

"Guess we still need to find more stuff. Now how do we get out of here and do that?"

"Yeah, I knew that. " the Duke responds looking around rather self consciously.

"Probably something to do with the puzzle. We need 'keys' of a sort I expect. "

knowledge nobility: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21 derp

"Now wait a cotton picking minute" he says to noone visible.

And he will inspect his new surroundings.

preception: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (17) + 26 = 43

Note he does have blindsight

Give it a close search squinting the whole time.

take 20 for 46

We were in FF iirc, so G1 (might as well be systematic. )
