As the others lay down to sleep Nano stays up a little while longer, stuffing his pibe with some dried pesh. He walks over to the new comers.

"I allways find trouble sleeping after such encounters as today. Not before a good pibe at least" he explain grinning.

"I understand you two have been scouting near the village, is that right? What is it like - are there many gnolls about?" he ask, a light shiver going through hos body as he think of his last encounter with gnolls.


male Halfling Sorcerer

"Do you see anything up there?" Nano yells to Nuveril


male Halfling Sorcerer

While putting out the fire Nano grumbles to himself ”Allmost got ourself killed... Can't even handle a bunch of big rats... Stupid stinkers!”


male Halfling Sorcerer

Sorry for the silence, personal life and christmas kind of took over.
And as if that wasn't enough i'm going away on vacation tomorrow morning. I will have a computer with me, but the signal is very weak so don't expect any post from me. I just wanted to say that i'm still with you.
I will be back right after new year.

Merry christmas everybody.

Losk and Parvenah (last call) are up next

I just noticed that Parvenah has an alchemist fire. I'm pretty sure she is going to use it... or face Nuverils fury when the pugwampis are dead ;)


male Halfling Sorcerer

No but i do have a lamp I can light and shatter on them if monty will allow it?
If so: Ranged touch 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
or 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 [/ooc]


male Halfling Sorcerer

"Fry their asses Losk!" Nano cheers excited.

action: aid losk as posted above.


male Halfling Sorcerer

Nanos next action is to aid losk
ranged touch 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22or 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

"Steady your breath and pick your shot carefully"


male Halfling Sorcerer

Nano takes out a bottle of oil and hand it towards Nuveril.
"I forgot this when we where up there." he smiles sheepishly
"Think you can throw it long enough to hit the little beasts? Should make a nice fire if Losk can hit it with his fire"

I'm pretty much out of options unless i go into melee.


if you find that you need a player for the undermountain game, i have an idea for a Doppelganger cleric of Calistria i would really like to play. Perhaps even a vampire doppelganger. A blood sucking, change shaping seducer :D


male Halfling Sorcerer

What i wouldn't give for a non touch based spell...
Are the 3 "regular" pugwampis or does one of them look like a leader type?

Nano turn towards the sound of his spell with a face in horror and then, feining panick, he grabs Parvenahs arm and starts tugging her toward the ladder.
"just go with it and follow me" Nano says tossing a wink, before climbing screaming down the ladder.
Climb 1d20 ⇒ 11 and 1d20 ⇒ 10
base speed 50' due to expeditious retreat

Bluff for feining panick 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Okay, the idea is to trick the pugwampis into thinking that we are running from the "baboons", hopefully inspiring some kind of likeminded panick in them (espacially since they should still be shaken from Nuverils intimidate), so they will follow us to the floor where Nuveril and Losk can help kill these suckers. It's a pretty long shot..


male Halfling Sorcerer

Out of offensive ranged magic Nano mutters a quick word and instantly a loud growling noise can be heard behind the pugwampis.

Cast ghost sound, making it sound like the same noises the baboons made in battle against us.
Will save to disbelieve dc 14


male Halfling Sorcerer

Yay, free retry :)
Nano focus his energy to produce his last acidic ray.

Ranged touch 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22,1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 3


male Halfling Sorcerer

Not wanting to rush alone into the arms of the little rat-like creatures Nano hestitate.

I will have to delay so Jaken and Parvenah go before me


male Halfling Sorcerer

Not wanting to push his luck nano stops when he reaches the top and unleashes his lis last acidic ray towards the apparent leader of the group.

"I'm out of ranged magic, i need to get closer to them to hurt them. But ain't no way i'm going there alone.

Ranged touch 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8, 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
damage 1d6 ⇒ 6


male Halfling Sorcerer

Seeing the otherwise stupidly brave halfling female stay on the floor, makes Nano hestitate. But since he has only got enough energy to conjure one more ray of acid, he figures that they need to take the fight to the pugwampis.
Just before he starts climbing the ladder he turns to Nuveril with a smile 'what is the matter? You only got it in your mouth?' he winks and start climbing.

Nano will follow jaken up the ladder. So unlike him. Seeing another halfling acting brave and Nuverils threat against the pugwampis must have inspired something in him ;)

Acrobatics 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Climb 1d20 ⇒ 11, 1d20 ⇒ 15


male Halfling Sorcerer

”Hey! It worked! Way to go Nuveril! Let's use this opportunity to take the battle to them”
Nano yells and go into spellcasting. As he moves toward the ladder, he does so with impressive speed, his small legs allmost moving in a blur.

Casting expeditius retreat (speed is now 50 feet for 10 rounds) and follow jaken towards the ladder


male Halfling Sorcerer

"Oh no.." Nano mutters and run for cover next to Parvenah. Bringing forth his magical powers he points at a pugwampi and say an arcane word, unleashing a ray of acid toward the ugly creature.
ranged touch1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
damage1d6 ⇒ 4

Move to c5 and shoot an acidic ray.


male Halfling Sorcerer

"I think you are man enough for both of us" Nano grumbles at Nuverils remark.


male Halfling Sorcerer

Not seeing nor hearing anything, but watching the others prepare for battle he starts panicking.

"What? What is it? is it hostile? It's hostile, isn't it? Guys?"

He moves over to Losk, looking the same way he is but seeing nothing.

"What did you see?"

he will be at c8


male Halfling Sorcerer

Nanos face become pale as he sees the gnoll skulls. This is the first time since his experience in the dessert, that he sees a gnoll and the sight is bringing memories back.

[b]"Movement? Where?"[b]

Perception and initiative,
1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

He stands beside the door and open it with an outstretched arm, so his body is not in the door opening.

Sorry, missed that....

Looming walls with no apparent doors enclose this small roofless garden. Monks must once have come here to relax and contemplate the ways of nature, but any order they might have brought to the place all those years ago is almost impossible to notice now, as a wild cacophony of multicolored scrub plants and desert weeds have almost completely overgrown the space.

The door you have come through is covered in vines on the "inside" and would obviously have been hidden when closed.

** spoiler omitted **

1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15

Nano inspects the room. "strange. How could they grow a garden with no light?" he asks no one in particular.
"look at that. There is another door in here. Let's see where it will take us..."
Nano pulls furiously at the door for a moment with no result, then turn to the others and say
"... Or we could just relax here for a bit"

Nuveril shrinks away from the chime at Nano's pronouncement, uncomfortable at how close she'd come to touching it.

Looking curiously at Nuveril when she back away from the chime "It's not dangerous. Look." Nano says while playing with the chime, banging it lightly against his arm, without activating it.

Nuveril, uninterested, approaches the secret door curiously, her weapons at the ready.


male Halfling Sorcerer

So what's behind the secret door?


male Halfling Sorcerer

Nano holds his hand about an inch from the chime and concentrates.

"It certainly has some kind of magical aura around it. I think is is some sort of magical universal key. It should come in handy. If you don't mind, i would like to study it a bit. I have a thing for magical items, you see." Nano says, giving Nuveril a charming please-smile.

i'm not sure about the rules for identifying magic items, but since Nevynxxx wrote what it was, i assume Nano is able to identify it.

Nuveril wrote:

since we lost Jaken

What about Parvenah? Even if she is still with us, we are four, incl gm. Maybe we could let one or two join when we have cleared the monastery, to give the game a little more flow?

Nevynxxx:
How much xp did we get from the fight with the baboons and pugwampis?


male Halfling Sorcerer

Aaah... Clever.
Thanks

”Keep your weapons ready, guys. We don't want to get half eaten by a mosquito again, do we?” He says with a wink.

male Halfling Sorcerer

Nano is too busy with his pesh, but parvenah crouch and starts following a crack in the wall with her finger.

"Hey what have you got there, Parh? Oooh, a secret door. Let's check it out"

One annoying thing about the new dice roller is that you have to post to be able to see your result. That way you are unable to change your actions depending on the dice result.


male Halfling Sorcerer

Perception for nano and parvenah
1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

"I think we should check out the last part of this upper section and then head down under"


male Halfling Sorcerer

I'm going away for the weekend, but will be back sunday night.


male Halfling Sorcerer

"Are you guys okay? Look, i know a lot of people is against this, but i have something that will give you a little more health for a short period. It will allso make your head a little 'whoo', but that is half the experience" Nano says with a grin, pulling out his pipe and a small box with some pesh whey in it.
Pesh whey will give you 1 temporary hp at the penalty of -2 to wisdom for an hour (p.21 Dark markets: a guide to katapesh). That's all i got.
I now understand what Joana was talking about when she said stirges are a pain in the ass


male Halfling Sorcerer

i'm not sure it's a new round yet, but on his turn Nano will aid another with the last stirge.
1d20 - 2 ⇒ (7) - 2 = 5
Well.. he tried.


male Halfling Sorcerer

Parvenah rips the stirge from her body.
1d20+3=19

Nano seizes the opportunity and quickly gather his magical energies to bring forth a ray of acid.

Ranged touch 1d20+5=20, 1d6=4


male Halfling Sorcerer

If i used shocking grasp on an attached stirge, would i also hurt the person it's attached to?
If not

Nano mumbles some quick arcane phrases and sparks starts shooting from his fingertips. He lurches forward and grasp the big insect sending electric energy through it's body.
Melee touch 1d20+5=17, 1d6=3


male Halfling Sorcerer

yeah i will ready an action
ranged touch 1d20+1=10
1d6=5
assuming there is a -4 for shooting into melee.
I will do this for one more round. After that i will aid whoever has the lowest CMB. I'm running low on acidic rays.

readied ranged touch 1d20+5=24, 1d6=3 EDIT: forgot the -4

Aid another CMB1d20-2=3


male Halfling Sorcerer

Parvenah grabs at the ugly bug and tries to rip it off her neck.

Used the same roller as Nuveril
Roll(1d20)+3:
13,+3
Total:16


male Halfling Sorcerer

"Wow! Big insects! Throw them to the ground and i'll dissolve those nasty spawns"

Ready action to shoot acidic ray at the first stirge to detach itself. I rolled for it earlier


male Halfling Sorcerer

Nano grins at Nuverils comment about lady Almah. As he steps in to the room his nose wrinkles up at the stench. He moves toward the middle of the room.
"What is that covering the floor?" splat"aw, would you look at that. I got guano all over my sandals" he looks up at the others with a scared expression "Wait a second... isn't guano some kind of bat excrement....?"
Initiative 1d20+4=6
For my actions, see my above post. What crappy rolls for me this round btw


male Halfling Sorcerer

I'm not even going to bother with that perception check :) If one of them is attacking Nano after the surprise round i will use shocking grasp while casting defensively 1d20+6=7
well that's definitely a fizzle.

If they keep some range from Nano he will use his acidic ray on them
1d20+5=12
1d6=2

As the big insects suddenly swoop from the darkness Nano shrieks and mumbles some quick arcane frases

Shall we follow?"

"Why not? If we are lucky we might run into yet another of the luck cursers.. or maybe a baboon... or a huge spider. Try to stop me!" Nano starts rambling sarcarstic as he starts to move.

Let's try the 2 arches into small rooms on the north wall from A4 then.

Tiring of the art, Nuveril peers into the arch near the corner.

Perception (1d20+7=18)

"Do you see anything?"

if not, nano will follow through the arch

Yay! Welcome back, Nano! Our DM found himself on a holiday where he expected to have internet access and didn't, but I believe he's supposed to be back this weekend....

perfect timing then


male Halfling Sorcerer

Nano has been seeming far away during the search of the rooms. He does go around searching the rooms, but he does so absently and without real interest in the things he finds.

As he search the library he finds a crumbled book. Most of the pages is destroyed by time and weather, but one page is intact enough for him to recognize the picture of a gnoll eating of some large bone.
He closes his eyes with a pained expression on his face. Behind his eyelids, his eyes seem to dart back and forth as if having a nightmare.

His face pales and he clutches the page hard, crumbling the fragile old paper. But he seems not to notice that, or any other of his surrounding.
As Losk drop to the floor, he is torn out of his thoughts and suddenly opens his eyes. With a true expression of terror in his eyes he screams "ANUMA!! NO!"

As he regain his senses, he looks around the room remembering where he is. His chins starts to blush, and he tries to cover his outburst in a coughing.

He looks around embarrased and hopes the others didn't notice his scream.

Hey guys. I'm so happy to see this thread still going.
I finally got my connection working, and has seen to some personal stuff so i'm ready to get Nano going again and save Joana before she becomes skitzofrenia.
Thanks for taking care of him :)

Edit: nano will cast detect magic in every room they search


male Halfling Sorcerer

So sorry guys, but my internet connection has crashed so i haven't been able to post the last week, and probably won't be able to do it the next week too, so this is just a quick post from my work.

btw, i'm up for it if we continue this with another DM. Aside from the last few weeks with big breaks it has been a lot of fun!
But as i said, i probably won't post for the next week or so. If you do deside to continue, feel free to control Nano.


male Halfling Sorcerer

so sorry guys. And don't worry i survived the festival. But the week after..... ;)
But i'm back now and ready to post regularly again.

Nanos looks distanced, as if he's not really in the monastery with the others, but somewhere far away maybe in his past.
He doesn't even sense the baboon attacking Parvenah, and let it get to her unharmed.
He is suddenly reminded of reality as her cry of pain takes him from his trance. He shakes his head violently, takes a step back putting an evil glare at the baboon and let fly a ray of acid.

5-foot step away from the baboon threatening Nano, ad acidic ray at the one attacking Parvenah

1d20+5=20, 1d20+5=25
1d6=4
Finally!


male Halfling Sorcerer

i will be attending a music festival untill next monday, so i won't be able to post for a while.


male Halfling Sorcerer

Nano lets hís ray fly again. His aim would have been true, but unfortunately he sneezes just as he shoots and his ray flies wide off the target.
1d20+5=8, 1d20+5=24

"...But here,"... "you have no goat nor cliff to use to your advantage."

"No, but they have baboons!"

Nano turns toward the sound of baboons and says to parvenah "i think our friends have the rats under control. Let's greet these newcommers"
He focus inward, once more bringing forth some of his stange powers, not unleashing it just yet.

He readies an action to shoot an acidic ray at the first baboon to come within 30' of him and parvenah.
1d20+5=19, 1d20+5=9
1d6=4


male Halfling Sorcerer

Nano runs for the door opening but staying behind Parvenah and Nuveril and spots the pugwampys "Not again.." he moans before focusing inward on his magic powers and conjures a ray of acid from his palm, towards the nearest pugwampy.

Ranged touch attack, acidic ray1d20+5=6, 1d20+5=17

Edit: After looking at the strategic map i'm not sure there is enough room for nano to do this. If that is the case i will ready an action to do the above stated as soon as there is enough space.


male Halfling Sorcerer

Nano is not saying much in this discussion, his eyes going back and forth as his companions speaks. He hides a smile at Nuverils boast, by scratching his chin.
As parvenah suggest waiting for the Baboons his face brightens
"Now there's an idea i like. Let's wait for them, or even better draw them out" he then looks at Nuveril "and then unleash the fury that is Nuveril on them". Nano then flashes a grin at everybody.

if we wait, Nano will ready an acidic ray against the first baboon to present itself. If nothing happens after a couple of minutes he puff an elbow at Parvenah and whispers."I don't think they are coming.."
Readied action
1d20+5=17, 1d6=6
