Sorry for the big lapse...I'll try and catch up and make myself useful

Hru finds nothing magical in the jail cells. That was the room Hru was in, right?

yes, the cells

Disappointed at the lack of opponents in the room, Hru complies with Galadar's request and does a quick scan of the room asking Gorum to show him any magic. At Knotty's arrival he perks up a bit and follows the others downstairs.

Hru seeks a fresh grip on his battleblade with a chuckle and steps into the room.

"Hoo-hoo!" as he steps over the ruin of the door caused by Gorum's might.

Hru watches Galadar's perplexed expression at the locked door then calls upon Gorum, "This portal obstructs your servant and prevents your sword devouring the flesh of thine enemies! GORUM!!" He crashes his fist into the flat of the blade of his greatsword and it rings a single peal that reverbrates against the door in a reality warping haze.

Casts Shatter to sunder the door. From prd:Saving Throw Will negates (object); Will negates (object) or Fortitude half; see text; Spell Resistance yes

Shatter creates a loud, ringing noise that breaks brittle, nonmagical objects; sunders a single solid, nonmagical object;

Hru pauses briefly at the sound of others coming down the stairs, to let them catch up, then tries the door. He performs an intricate maneuver passing the overly large sword to his offhand as he tries the door with his right with a flourish.

"Gorum, guide us to battle..."

I was hoping to see if there was a real window behind the illusion curtain, where a creature might have escaped or something.

"All we can do now is a level by level search of the manor, and if anyone has a better plan, speak up...otherwise" Hru motions to one of the guards to follow and heads back down to the next floor moving towards the door on the left after decending the stairs. that's the north door on the east wall if up is north on the map

Hru will rip the curtains down by slicing the razor sharp greatsword across the top (on the sunrise side at least).

"It's some kind of trickery!" He snorts with a derisive laugh.

"Hoo! Face us COWARD!!"

Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Hru's brow wrinkles as he then slowly pokes the greatsword through the "sunrise" feeling for an opening and a floor through it. *methodically*

Sorry for holding back, but Hru's answer was to gut the nearest guard and I wanted to give people some chance at rp before I went past the point of no return

Hru, catching the movement out of the corner of his eye yells "GORUM! For FOEHAMMER and ANDORAN!!" and leaps toward the window cleaving at the movement and window with the massive holy blade of Gorum!

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 for 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 6) + 4 = 12

Miss chance in case I was anywhere near, I usually play high is hit (tho it's weird after all those years of ad&d)

1d100 ⇒ 86

perception 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Hru's head weaves quickly back and forth checking for any sign of the creature, somewhat ignoring the guard's question. "Just stay back and let us do our work...the Baron.." Hru cuts off his speech sensing he could be going too far. Seeking a fresh grip on the greatsword he scans the room again looking for all the world like he may charge at any perceived threat.

ready:IF a guard or any hostile moves toward him THEN Hru attacks w/greatsword

"The fiend is of you're master, the Baron,bootlicker of devil-spawn, and you're loyalty is misplaced." Hru calls, a toothy grin splitting his jaw.

Holding his great blade at the the ready Hru says one last devotion to Gorum before plowing into the room.

"Sword-father invest me with your power, I am your weapon to wield!"

casts magic weapon on the sword

Abruptly Hru ceases shifting his weight from one foot to the other as if he's come to a decision.

Calling on Gorum's aid he draws down divine power. channel postive(healing) 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7 drink in the hitpoints of Gorum

"Gorum prepare us for battle!" Then turning to the others "There's no other way but to wait and I for one am NOT."

Then moves down to door and readies to open it.

Completely out of character/metagame question: Galadar really wants to help the guards. Doing so might also garner us some allies. But I won't follow through if everyone else is against it. Thoughts?

Hru wants battle, but in the grand scheme more allies means a greater force to overcome the Chelaxians (and thereby the greater battle)In a neutral fight he would always go with the underdog for greater glory to Gorum so that would be with the guards against the devil-spawn

Hru waits at the top of the stairs, blade in hand, looking more and more like a caged animal as he hears the sound of conflict from below.

if everyone is within 30ft

"Gorum prepare us for battle!" cries Hru and raising the huge battleblade a ripple in reality courses out to 30 ft.

channel positve:healing

2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

everyone gains 4 hp (apparently Gorum's favor wanes from lack of battle)

After checking the room thoroughly and finding nothing, suddenly Hru's eyes bulge like he's swallowed a stirge and with a muttered curse under his breath he checks the ceiling.

you get me once shame on you, twice, shame on me, ;) and are there any other exits?

Knowledge Local: 1d20+10

"The bodies are a strange collection of foreigners."

I have no knowledge of such things....er, I have NO knowledge, that's what happens when you're raised in the Cinderlands. It's an Urglin thing..

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 Perception

Hru warily canvasses the room for any sign of the Baron, battleblade at the ready.

"Hru, there is a scroll of lesser restoration, it looks divine, can you use this. How about the remove curse one too?"

Eria/GM
** spoiler omitted **

Hru's eyes flick away from his intent on the room to Knotty. Holding the scroll up "Yes, this is what I had in mind" Taking the scroll he reads the words aloud, they appear to be an appeal to Erastil. He then says "May your blades find the heart"

casts Lesser Resto on Eria

1d4 ⇒ 3

Hru pauses outside the chamber calling on our Lord in Iron. "AID ME! GORUM! BLOOD AND SOULS FOR GORUM!!"

Casts Bulls STR on himself

Turning to Liandra "I have nothing to return Eria to the battle...tomorrow I can ask Gorum again for such."

With a sharp intake of breath he prepares to search the chamber.

Frustrated at not being able to get a crack at the monstosity and feeling the divine blade of Gorum wink out of existance, Hru does the only thing he can. "Gorum keep this warrior in battle!" he cries reaching out to Manfred's back.

Cure Moderate wounds spontaneous cast for Zone of Truth (on Manfred) 3d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 6, 2) + 4 = 16

1. can spiritual greatsword get one last attack on the baron? and 2. Would I see that the mostrosity is about to fall/ (in order to give room to Sir Manfred)

1. Yes, I think one more attack (you've had 3, I think). 2. Hru can see the monstrosity will go down with one more good hit.

Yet I can't reach the monstrosity myself correct? it's a 5ft stairway?

Spiritual Greatsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 attacking the Baron one last time

1d20+13 +2 favored enemy,+2 for invisibility aiming at flat footed AC 1d10+2d6+2

From somewhere behind Hru comes the rachrting of a heavy crossbow as a shaft goes flying towards the Baron. Liandra comes into view locking another bolt into place.

+1 for GORUM'S BLESSING (I don't want to have to say this again)

"Blessings of Iomedae rain down upon you!"

Did you add in Gorum's blessing (+1)?

Hru shrugs off the pain of the Baron's infernal attackand with a gutterral hoot that sounds very similar to "GOORRRRRUUUUMMMM!" he draws back the great battle blade with his off hand, flings a javelin at the Baron with his right

STR surge (+2)

Javelin 1d20+6 for 1d6+4

spiritual greatsword 1d20+6 for 1d8+1

If I'm not next to the beast then I'll: Hru shrugs off the nasty gash in his arm and taking a step back calls on Gorum. "Bring down the slain from among thy adversaries, they shall fall to rise no more!!"

Hru casts Bless; +1 to everyone (friendly, that is) within 50'

Spiritual weapon(giant glowing greatsword of force) attacke the Baron again

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Hru performs a chant to Gorum in gutteral tones "Lay thy hand on the neck of thine enemies, devour the flesh with thine sword.." as a ripple of divine energy coagulates next to the Baron in the form of a greatsword striking down.

Spiritual Weapon(round 1 of 4), hopefully to disrupt further casting on his part!

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 for (if hits) 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Can Hru see the baron?

Manfred takes the 2 pts or Hru? -as you can see I've returned from the plane of shadow

Hru's "nobody home" look finally passes as Manfred tumbles into him and they land in a heap. He immediately extricates himself and pulls himself to a standing, albeit deadly looking, position, sword at the ready and a prayer to Gorum on his lips. He nods to Manfred acknowledging that "these things happen".

Hru must be on the stairs as he wasn't up examining the door so couldn't have made it into the corridor ahead of anyone.

sorry guys Viral meltdown due to my own stupidity (it's a long tale but nerds who need to know can message me on pen and paper games: amardolem) Back!!

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 Initiative

er...over at the other door. "He may be in there, or it could be a decoy"

"The Baron may be expecting us, the door was warded somehow, Gorum shows me. Knotty, a wizards eye my be needed to discern what type of ward" Says Hru looking back at the door grimly

Hru does his best to quickly bind, shackle, or tie, up the remaining guards with strips of their own clothing if necessary.

He chuckles and consoles them "Don't worry boys, there's still time to die a glorious death in service of our Lord in Iron...just not today. Oh, and I'd consider rejoining the fight for freedom and stop kissing devil-tail"

It was as much as he knew of the politics in the region so he thought he's let it fly while he had the chance.

Hru then strides quickly to where the others are entering the room with the stairs. "Lord, show me" he exhorts then makes a sweep with the great battle-blade, unwholesomely close to everyone.

Hru casts Detect Magic, paying special attention to the devilish bronze gargoyles

Hru had his blade poised menacingly to behead the captain as he expired. "A good death" he mutterrs lowly and then swings around glaring dangerously towards the guards at Galadar's words.

Intimidate

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

"You heard the man!"

"Our Lord in Iron favors us, let us strike now while the Iron is hot!!" cries Hru from the forefront. "Lay thy hands on the neck of thine enemy, devour the flesh with thy sword!!" He chants in a low if forceful tone as he brings the greatsword around in an arc towards captain Blacklock.

A rumbling laugh emits from Hru as he strikes out at the Captain, "Hooo-hoooo!"

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Crit!! edit: total damage = 34

I'm afraid not, Hru. Knotty agreed to stay back and guard the rear.

I'm pretty sure you just said to Galadar you were doing some kind of spell no? It matters not. At last!!

With a cry of "Blood and souls for GORUUMM!!" Hru follows Manfred's lead leaping at the chance to strike at the guard.

power attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 4) + 6 = 15

I was going to move up there at Galadar's word but alas I was to slow in posting. it's all yours Knotty

Hru looks up at Galadar's word but hesitates contining to watch the stair well .
