Grunigon Durinslag's page

"True. And they need a new head priest that ain't demon possessed...."

I'm interested Bilos, but I don't think I want to continue with Grunigon.

I agree. Thank you!

Craft Keys and Locks: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Once they are wrapping things up Grunigon asks Kaztor, "Have you by any chance scanned the area where the priest lived for evil? If a demon was living there it might have had dangerous stuff there. I'd hate to leave with those gullible followers having no idea what might be there."

Scan for evil, magic and traps? If they let us.

Grunigon gets to work as well.

Try to organize the books. Are any in other languages? If any are in a language that none of us know, does anyone have magic to help understand? Or, are any of the priests here able to help?

Grunigon looks at the men in disbelief. "Look at the body! The demon was inside him! He was already dead!!! You weren't working for a man anymore. The demon was in full control."

He turns and heads for the library not waiting for any response....

Grunigon looks at the man, and the zombies, and shrugs. "Zombies? Undead serve evil. Wasn't that in your first class of serving a Good Deity?"

Grunigon continues with his healing hex, healing and waking up the others. "The fake priest was demon possessed. Heck, he was a demon! We beat him. Now we're healing you. Does that sound like we are evil? If so you've got a harder head than any dwarf I've ever talked to!"

The zombies are down right? If not Grunigon goes over and touches each of them with his healing hex.

"Don't waste charges. I'll do it."

He moves to each and uses the healing hex on them.

CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Grunigon moves over to the skin and whatever else the demon shed. "Well, if the demon's body comes visible, and we show the guards the priest's.... face and robes, and the rest of this? That might help. Explain that their head priest was a demon in the high priest's body!"

"And obviously that was why we detected that he was evil!"

"Is it dead? Can we make it visible? Maybe showing it to the putz guards will convince them? Then we can show the priests what they were following!"

Grunigon looks around but cannot see anything. "Where? I don't see anything."

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 Unless there is a modifier for being told where it is?

Why do anything different? Grunigon isn't!

Evil Eye Hex, -2 to AC. Duration 5 rounds. Will Save DC14 reduces the duration to 1 round.

Next verse, same as the first....

Evil Eye Hex, -2 to AC. Duration 5 rounds. Will Save DC14 reduces the duration to 1 round.

Grunigon considers buying some cold iron tipped crossbow bolts when they get back home. But for now....

Evil Eye Hex, -2 to AC. Duration 5 rounds. Will Save DC14 reduces the duration to 1 round.

If sub-vocal grumbling were cackles....

Evil Eye Hex, -2 to AC. Duration 5 rounds. Will Save DC14 reduces the duration to 1 round.

Grunigon looks at the demon and chuckles. "I really gotta learn Cackle...."

Evil Eye Hex, -2 to AC. Duration 5 rounds. Will Save DC14 reduces the duration to 1 round.

Grunigon looks up at the creature on the wall. He points at the creature and hexes it to make it easier to hit.

Evil Eye Hex, -2 to AC. Duration 5 rounds. Will Save DC14 reduces the duration to 1 round.

Grunigon quietly moves into the room looking around at the enemies.

Double move.

Grunigon follows Ander toward the battle.

Seeing the line ahead Grunigon moves back to Ander to help him up.

And heal him a little. Healing Hex: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Grunigon shrugs. "OK. I just wouldn't want them waking up and attacking us from the rear."

Attack the boss!

"Secure them. I'll use my healing hex on them to be sure they don't die...." While he waits for the "prisoners to be tied he uses the healing hex on Halali. CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Remove any weapons and tying them before providing enough healing to keep them alive.

Assuming somebody has rope. ?? Grunigon has 50' of silk rope.... Healing Hex is a CLW effect 1d8+3, 1/day/person.

Grunigon tries to remember who he had hexed and for what.... He decides to focus on the closer one and hex his attack. Again? Maybe.

Hex Green: Evil Eye to reduce to hit by 2. Duration 5 rounds. Will Save DC13 will reduce duration to 1 round.

Grunigon hexes Yellow's attack.

Hex: Evil Eye to reduce to hit by 2. Duration 5 rounds. Will Save DC13 will reduce duration to 1 round.

Grunigon shrugs and calls back. "You serve a false master. Hopefully you won't force us to kill you to prove it." He hexes green again.

Hex: Evil Eye to reduce to hit by 2. Duration 5 rounds. Will Save DC13 will reduce duration to 1 round.

Grunigon hexes Green....

Hex: Evil Eye to reduce AC by 2. Duration 5 rounds. Will Save DC13 will reduce duration to 1 round.

While a stunned and blind enemy might be the ultimate easy mark for a rogue.... Grunigon can't get to either. With the standing guard no longer visible he hexes the closest (blue) to make him easier to hit.

Hex: Evil Eye to reduce AC by 2. Duration 5 rounds. Will Save DC13 will reduce duration to 1 round.

Grunigon shakes his head sadly and mutters "We aren't trying to murder anyone. Just trying to figure out the evil in this place...." Then he hexes the man working to make him easier for the others to hit.

Hex Evil Eye to reduce AC by 2. Duration 5 rounds. Will Save DC13 will reduce duration to 1 round.

"We are dwarves. We fully believe in duty. Until that duty interferes with true justice."

Diplomacy aid?: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 The giveth.... but not this time!

I'm all for anything that makes the diplomacy work! Unfortunately I don't have anything that applies....

"Well. They can't deny what their eyes see. But they won't leave their posts so I think we'll have to show them. I think that box that tests and cuts fingers, and one of the undead bodies. Are there any other rooms we haven't looked in? Never know what else that fake priest might still be hiding!"

"I like everything about that but the color spray. If it falls apart to that level I think we've failed. but I really don't think we should be hurting the guards. They're not evil are they? Just the boss if I see things right. And I wouldn't want to be hurting folk for doing their jobs...."

"Let's keep the weapons out of our hands until we face Dakang."

Grunigon doesn't have spells to recover. He can take the next watch.

As they walk away from the guards, "How about checking for any good food in the kitchen? Not that dirt flavored crap that they serve. Didn't look like it has been used in a long time but there might be something edible there. If not, we can heat up our rations. I've got enough for me for two days....

And we could use the time to work on the inventory of the library?

Grunigon shakes his head as the facts are presented. Maybe in the future they should hire a bard to travel with them? Nobody here seemed to know how to persuade anyone without weapons.... "It's plain as day if you've got your eyes open!"

Diplomacy aid?: 1d20 ⇒ 3 If we don't all die here some of us need to do something toward social skills!

Does anyone in our group have ANY positive Diplomacy skills? Note: Not me. But, maybe?

"Yeah. We aren't exactly good at making a good impression, unless it's on the heads of evil creatures. But there's some things here that don't really make sense. Do you have a short bit of time to maybe see something and help us understand?"

Diplomacy?: 1d20 ⇒ 19 Hah! The dice giveth!

"Attacking him won't expose him as a fraud. It'll just make us seem evil."

"I think we need to talk to some of the others. Try to reason with them away from the head priest. Show them the undead, and this haunt, and this kitchen. Where has the food been prepared? Maybe he's using some sort of mind altering poison in summoned food? We need to point it out to a couple where they can look and listen without that slimy bastard interrupting!"

"Maybe get that knife out of here? And any other sharp items that a haunt could use? Or could it be linked to the knife? Maybe destroy it?"

Grunigon sees his friends stance change, obviously something is wrong. He doesn't draw a weapon since he doesn't know what is happening. "What's wrong? Did that corpse come to life? Or unlife? Whatever?"

Grunigon covers his mouth and nose when he notices the smell. "No wonder the food tasted like dirt! The kitchen stinks! Where do they even prepare the meals?"

"That's right. Catalog the library.... Does anyone know what that's about?"

Grunigon looks around, thankful to be alive.... "We can't prove that the undead were linked to the bastard. If he acknowledges them at all he'll say the place was off limits because they were trapped in there. Or he'll try to say that we brought them in."

"ZZzzzzZzzzz"

stabilize?: 1d20 - 11 + 3 ⇒ (13) - 11 + 3 = 5

Grunigon hears Halali but doesn't want to miss a shot where the monster is flanked so nicely. He strikes out with his dagger (wishing it were magical) before stepping out of the way.

Sneak/flank attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Damage if that hits and the creature can be harmed by a non-magical weapon?: 1d4 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (3, 2) = 8

Then 5' step beside the creature to get out of the way of Halali and Dran.

Grunigon sees Dran and the monster trade hits. He hopes his friend can survive but doesn't know what he can do.... Then he turns and sees the monster attacking from the rear. Who let this one in!?! He activates his hex again and reaches for the new one....

Touch attack Yellow with healing hex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
CLW damage if that hits?: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Crap! I meant Dran cause he just got hit and was right in front of me.... Sorry. I shouldn't post when I'm distracted!
