Mollok's page

Mollok fires a series of shots at the creature with red eyes. The tiefling's pet monkey starts to hop on his shoulder screaming with fear.
Shhh Lord Charles, I am trying to aim.

Attk: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14
Bolt: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Haste Attk: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20
Bolt: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Mollok fires his crossbow at one of the flying creatures

Attk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Bolt: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Mollok stays in the back with Iason. He looks around, weary of the place.

Take 10 in perception for a 30.

Mollok nods in agreement to Eshshah and searches for clues about what is going on here while advancing with the group.

Take 10 for perception 30.

I was afraid you would say that. Mollok mumbles. Better get ready for the worse just in case... The tiefling awaits a few moments for the group to prepare and than approuches the coral wall and tries to make peaceful contact.

Hello there, we are friends. What are you guys doing over there?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27

Do you think they will attack us if we try to talk to them?

Sorry for the long absence guys. I injured my back a little while ago and have not been able to stop working to heal. By the end of the day I am getting home too tired and in too much pain to do anything but go to bed. I am trying to get back on the pbp horse but please don't let my character stop the game, npc it as needed.

Perc: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33
Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

There. Mollok points. [b]There is a steep, roughly carved staircase descending to the shore along the southern cliff.
[b]

Mollok keeps up with his attacks set on ending the creature before it could squeeze to dust anymore lighthouses.

W. Elemental Attk: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 16
Dmg: 1d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 3 = 13

Crossbow Attk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Mollok fires again and his elemental press on with it's attack.

W. Elemental Attk: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 21
Dmg: 1d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 3 = 12

Crossbow Attk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Mollok fires another bolt at the creature while his elemental continues to attack.

W. Elemental Attk: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 25
Dmg: 1d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 3 = 10

Crossbow Attk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Mollok finishes his spell. A small water elemental appears near the giant octopus and attacks it. Meanwhile the tiefling draws his crossbow and fires it at the monster.

W. Elemental Attk: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 24
Dmg: 1d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 3 = 13

Crossbow Attk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Blasted hell! Mollok curses but after having witnessed Etrigan's battle prowness he asks Iason before acting. Does your slave requires help?
K. Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

But after remembering what he knows about the monsters from deep sea he casts a summom of his own. It's a giant octopus, I think.

Casts summom nature's ally II. Is this the creature that attacked us at the lighthouse GM?

Mollok starts to seach the interior of the tower for any clues.

Take ten on perception for 30

Mollok casts guidence followed by detect magic to check the amulet. I believe this one is going to be mighty usefull in the end. The tiefling shares what he has learned.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 = 20

Mollok loads and aim his crossbow at the lizard but do not have time to fire it before the creature is turned into pigswill. Smiling the tiefling lower his weapon, he sure is glad these people are his allies.

Looking at the structure he tries to guess the right moment to run in and make his attempt. He chooses the wrong time.
Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Mollok nods and follows Iason.

I can only cast compreend languages tomorrow... and have less than 4 ranks in spell craft :(
Aid another on the first spellcraft check. Can the main roller take 20 on it?

Mollok tries to help the group decipher the comtraption.
A.A. spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Fort: 1d20 + 6 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 5 = 23
Fort: 1d20 + 6 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 5 = 26
Perc: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22
K. Arcana: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Mollok gies through the room, his eyes carefully taking everything in. I have read about this place. This old observatory houses an astronomical artifact that was the jewel of Nal-Kashel, a device for making prophecies, controlling the weather, and discovering new arcana. The crystal dome magically filters the light of day from the interior of the structure, revealing the stars normally concealed by the sun’s light. Some of the metal spheres and crystal orbs orbiting through the air, are mounts for lenses that focus concentrated starlight on a series of perimeter-orbiting glyphs. Its lenses cracked, its glyphs faded, and its spheres out of synchronization, the once finely calibrated machine now works only erratically.

And I belive those stales the hover around the room are instructional steles inscribed in the Azlanti. That one has received recent attention. He points.

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
K. Nature: Spiders: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Mollok steps back, commands his spell to attack the creature and stop between him and the spider and drinks from Iason's bottle. I assume thats an antidote of sorts. Thank you sir.

Fire dmg: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 2) = 11

Reflex DC 17 negates.

Mollok focus his spell on the crab again while drawing his crossbow.

Fire dmg: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 1) = 8

Yea, sorry. Reflex DC 17 negates.

Mollok casts a flaming sphere and commands it to attack the nearest crab before moving to the back of the group.

Fire dmg: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1) = 9

While the devil works on the lenses Mollok takes the opportunity to inspect the island and its surroundings from the floating tower higher, and moving, grounds.

Perc: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35

K. Planes: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
K. Arcane: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Perception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21

Mollok examines the levitation field and the room before moving on.
Lets keep going then.

Better yet, this lenses might be the key why this tower is floating. And we are still inside it! Some of us may have a harder time reincarnating back to this plane, devil. Mollok says alarmed.

Luckly for Mollok the years he spend in Katapesh's deserts as a runaway slave taught him how to survive even a place like this. Taking 10 on climb for 16

I sense something in the middle of the spire, something different from the rest of this place.

Mollok awaits for his turn to not overload the rope and goes up.
Double moving at half speed and taking 10 for 16-5=11 on the climb check.

Mollok is not a good climber either but he can take 10 for more than 5. He has an available rope if needed.

After searching through his backpack Mollok offers his rope to be used by the group.

K. Arcana, goo pool: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Well, here is something you dont see everyday. The tiefling whispers after spotting the flying tower for the first time.

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Can we toss a knotted rope with a grappling hook and climb aboard when the tower is at its nearest? Would it still be a climb DC 5 check?

/bump

Mollok helps in the search.
Perc: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36
Track/Survival: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Sure, lets go to B4

Mollok focus his arcane powers to hit the creature.

Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5

Mollok is also mesmerised by the plates and helps Iason secure them. Lost in his excitment he completly misses the group's movement until they are almost all out of the room.

Sorry for the spotty posting, got overwhelmed by RL's problems. Should be better now.

Yes, the road. Lets take the road. Mollok says looking at the cliffs with a worried face.

I was amazed by the speed of mr Estian's transformation, and I am not sure the whole thing was intentional. What ever magic is at work here has quite some power.

Mollok store the scrolls for later use before moving to the boat.
SM: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

What is troubling you master Estian? He asks the sailor and looks around as the group approuches the island.
Perc: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30

After his search Mollok joins Iason to investigate the scrolls.

@Iason: I just want to say that I absolutely LOVE Etrigan.

Indeed, you do justice to the comic mate.

Silently the tiefling starts to search the place.
Take 20 on perception for 40

Mollok follows the group to Gerlach's laboratory.

That sounds as good a plan as any.

Mollok helps in the care for the wounded. Whatever we do I suggest we wait for the first light of the day. I do not fancy bumping into that thing again tonight.

Taking 10 on heal for 20.

Mollok keeps attacking with the flame sphere while starting to cast enlarge person.

Master Clandelve! I can make you bigger to fight this thing. Do you want it? He yells.

I can cast it into somebody else if you guys have any preference.

Mollok keeps his sphere attacking injured tentacles while he moves to help the children. Nethys, Gozreh and Asmodeus, help me survive this mess.

FS: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4) = 13

Mollok commands his flaming sphere to attack again focusing on any injured tentacle. He also draws his crossbow.
Fire dmg: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5) = 12

Can I roll any knowledge to try to ID the creature?

Mollok casts a flaming sphere to attack the tentacles and moves back away from them.

Reflex save DC 16 negates.
Fire Dmg: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 3) = 6

Mollok talks to the people. He tells them they are friends of Gerlach and are looking for him and that they will help the village however they can. He asks if anybody have seem the missing sorcerer.

Aid Another Eshshah
A.A. Diplom: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Thank you. Mollok says with a short bow to Gervus before making his way inside the lighthouse.
Hello, anybody home?

Mollok is more than happy to enter the boat and take a sit.

Mollok looks at the treacherous wet rocks and wonders if Clandelve has lost his marbles. Friend, lets take the boat. Those rocks are a gruesome accident waiting to happen.

Turning to the lighthouse keeper he yells.
Good to meet you good sir, please bring the boat. We are looking for shelter for the night.
