Duriel, Paladin of Damerrich's page

The monster is pretty badly hurt by now, and retaliates by biting Duriel again for 13 points, then lashes out at Haydar with its tail, trying to trip him. Only his supernatural reflexes save him.

You are all up again.

negative 5 at least

Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Duriel takes the swing.

Luuther hits the monster, damaging it slightly (but you should be able to add some sneak attack damage), but Duriel can't find purchase. The monster bends down and bites him for 12 points of damage (and a Fort 17 save vs poison). Its tail swishes by harmlessly.

You are all up.

Poison Save 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Dying here, I think.

Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

"So it begins."

Attack with greataxe 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Nevermind the damage roll/

Duriel looks at the damage caused by the tentacle. "Just a flesh wound."

Duriel attempts to break free from the grapple.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

"Foul creature! Begone from this place!"

Duriel slams down his greataxe on the sickly greyish arm.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

1d12 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

But he misses.

Will 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"... for you watch over me in this hour of need. Amen."

Duriel strides forward his weapon ready to strike and as an example to the others.

"Steel your hearts!"

Duriel takes a moment to use his ability to sense evil to get a general feel for the exploration area.

Perception 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

"The small hieroglyphics at the feet of the statues identify them as Pentheru the Elder and Pentheru the Younger."

Duriel plants the business end of his axe on the ground before making a silent prayer. "Milord, watch over us."

"Perhaps it's a temple to their god, Nethys," Duriel suggests. "We can ask the priests here about it. They ought to know something."

"I'll go with you. Perhaps they have some sort of repellent."

Velriana gives Duriel a cool look. "Waste of time", she responds curtly. "We're not here to play around. Do you know if any group was assigned an ancient temple or shrine? It's a bother to have to dig through all this junk, just because of some inane rule."

Duriel raises an eyebrow at Velriana's acerbic tongue, "I haven't heard that such a dig site has been opened for exploration. But I can help you find out. I can reach you whereat once I find it at...."

Duriel focuses his attention on the "hot" lady. "I am Duriel. I heard that your group made short work of some zombies. You're good."

Sense Motive 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Duriel approaches the Scorched Hand. He flashes his best smile, "Your group appears pretty capable. Why the sullen faces then?"

From their gear can I determine the composition of the Scorched Hand? And do I see any hot female with at least 15 charisma?

I think as part of our tactics, I will have my character buy a mancatcher something to hold off any foes while the rest pounds it from a distance. What do you think?

Sorry for being absent guys.

Duriel joins his companions. He motions to the barkeep for mug of whatever is the finest drink. He nods to Inmir and toasts, "To surviving."

He takes a long pull.

Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Duriel strikes but he knows he's gonna miss.

Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Duriel attempts to capitalize on the damage Luuther made by aiming for the same spot.

Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

"This thing has a tough hide!"

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Do I get a flanking bonus with me Haydar engaged in melee vs. the snake?

"Begone! Metallic abomination!"

Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Duriel makes an overhead chop against the snake.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

"Be wary. Search for traps before proceeding."

Perception 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Duriel readies his axe -- just in case.

"You never know."

Duriel gives thanks to his god before preparing for the day's exploration.

"Let's go back to the first room we explored."

"Oil!!! Use them!!!!"

"Ugh!!!! Bugs!!!

"Back!!! Where we came from!!!"

Duriel too follows the others' lead and takes a look around.

Perception 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Duriel brings up the rear, axe at the ready.

Perception 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Duriel makes a left to right mid-level slash at the enemy.

"Begone fiend!!!" Duriel brings down his axe.

attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Fleur's misgivings about the statues are proven true as she sets foot on the platform to examine the sarcophagus more closely. A bolt of lightning arcs between the pillar to strike her. for 7 points of damage, Reflex 15 for half.

At the same time the doors slam shut. Duriel needs to make a Reflex 15 save or be knocked prone. A metallic grating sound is heard from the west wall.

Reflex 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 Still on my feet

Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

"Fleur's been hurt!"

Duriel moves to defend Fleur.

Duriel stands at the entrance to the room, ready to defend the party should the need arise.

"Hey, Fleur, what can you tell us about these Osirian warriors sculpted on the columns?"

"Don't touch anything if you can," Duriel warns.

"Perhaps we should take a short rest."

Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"What the?!"

On my turn I attack the creature.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

"You have been judged!"

attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

"Begone! Foul spider!"

my roll is already in my earlier post

Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

"Hate those vermin!!"

On my turn

Duriel scratches a mark of aversion on the wall to warn future explorers to the danger in the room.

"Check for traps," Duriel suggests.

"Gold will help us do all manner of good deeds."

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

"I come for you!"

"Chopping wood!!!"

Duriel attacks the nearest creature, preferably one already being attacked by one other team member.

attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

"I can see in the dark, ma'am. But thank you."

BTW Black Tom, I don't mind you rolling initiative for us to speed things up.

Ditto =^^=

Agree

Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

"Beware those things!!!"

I suggest we leave the chest for the moment and come back for it once we finish clearing the tomb.
