I'm sorry for being absent. Things have been busy and it has been a struggle to keep my game afloat. I am going to need to back out of the game. I do apologize. I would love to continue but I don't have the time to dedicate as the group deserves. I am sorry, but I do wish you all luck and to have a blast!
When the party sets to work looking for the remains Thoric joins them, keeping an eye out for any stonework that could have been ajar hiding a hole that these remains could have been placed. Anything that might be of value the dwarf picks up, or if it is too large he places in the center of the room.
Thoric’s eyes light up at Bridgette’s words; “Yes! He has been able to escape justice far too long. Too many lives ruined and even though he is dead, those who have accepted bribes to keep it quiet need to face judgement too.” Thoric looks over the shoulders, under the shoulders… of those who are looking at the records. Specifically looking for any nobility that might have gotten rich off of keeping quiet.
Sorry I am later than I said. HERE is the link for the map. I am not sure exactly where we are on this map but everyone should be able to move pieces. You can technically move them all, but lets just move our own and let the GM do the rest. As we get new maps, GM, shoot them to me and I can put them in as a slide theme so they won't move. I can also help with dropping in NPCs and monsters as needed. I can separate Player and PC knowledge. I will keep the link to our maps in all of my postings.
“What, just because I’m a dwarf I should be good at gems?” He moves up to investigate the gem that Azig is holding.
“It is a beautiful gem but I don’t know what kind it is or value.”
Sounds good, I will get on that and have it ready by tonight.
I know I have been away, glad to see things kept rolling. I am back now but do have a couple more trips. These will allow for daily post. I don't want to overstep, but I can set up a Google Slides if you'd like . I use them for my Hangman's Noose PBP. It wouldn't take much time to do.
“Good eye!” Thoric says as Azig spots the safe behind the painting. Moving to the window, the dwarf looks to see if he can see the thugs fleeing and if they stop anywhere close by. “It is possible that there are others in this area that are loyal to Lemm. We should be quick with our search. Cutting the head off the snake does kill the snake, but it opens up a void for a new leader to take over.”
Hey all! I am back from my three weeks of trips. I need to catch up on things around the house, get caught up on postings, but then I'll be right back into the thick of things. Thank you for your understanding of me being gone.
I am here. I've acted too soon. Holding my action until it is the next round.
Sounds good. Just role my action over to the next round.
FYI: From 6/10-6/28 I will be traveling. I will have my computer with me but my consistency will be hit or miss. Please bot me as needed.
Studying the situation, Thoric begins to round himself to block off possible exits. Even if he has to get through another ally, this guy is a worm and could slither through anyone.
“Oh no you don’t!” Thoric says as he attempts to cut off Lamm’s escape, while avoiding the Grease on the floor.
Teeth clattering off Thoric’s shield, he lets out a curse in dwarven. Getting a firm grip on his axe, he brings it down on the beast; “I’ve got a little bite too!”
As his axe bites into the creature, a satisfied smile splits his face.
Seeing Karinna charge at Lamm, Thoric moves to a better position and throws his Tanglefoot Bag at his alligator
Missing Lamm's pet, his eyes go wide and gets ready to move closer. A place where he is more comfortable.
Just checking in. Are we still waiting for people for surprise round? Hope all is well.
Seeing Lamm having his pet with him, Thoric gives a shout. "Watch out! Those things can pull you down and drown you!" He pulls free the tanglefoot bag he picked up earlier ; "Knew this would be handy." he says as if only to himself.
What does Thoric see in this room? Axe at the ready but already so many people up front, Thoric hopes to see rope in/around where Lamm is.
Eyeing the gold; “That could help a lot of people…” he things of everyone at the temple who has been struggling with the poison Lamm peddles… like himself. As Daranil examines the scrolls; “I am new to the study of magical items. Not sure what life will bring after dealing with Lamm, but I would love to learn under you how you read the runes and properties to tell what are specifically on here. I can only use what Torag has given me to detect if something is magical. And that only gives me the kinds of magic.” Thoric cast detect magic to get the magical properties of the scrolls. “Like the wand we found earlier is of invocation magic, but I have no clue what it does.”
Dodging a bite, Thoric pushes off from aiding Bridgette who has Azig grappled. “Blast it! You aren’t a sewer rat, stop biting out as you are one!” He shoves his shield in Azig’s face to give him something else to bite at.
Seeing that his grapple isn’t successful, Thoric moves away defensively. As Bridgette grapples Azig, Thoric moves back to aid her. “Come on Azig, just relax. Most poisons will quickly run its course and wear off, or kill you.” Looking around at the newcomers of the group; “Is anyone skilled with poisons?”
“Oh…” Thoric lets out in surprise as apparently the trap was a magical spell. Seeing that Azig is lashing out and attack his new friends, he attempts grappling the confused friend. “Come here!”
Seeing the wand tossed to Daranil intrigues the dwarf. Curious if the magic is from the gods, Thoric cast Detect Magic to get a glimpse of the school. Hearing the trap trigger and an ouch from Azig, Thoric moves to aid his new companion of his wound. He says a little prayer as he cast Virture on the rat kin.
Thoric doesn't need much to act on what his gut was already telling him. Rushing up to Daranil's friend the dwarf swings his waraxe... yet it comes up short.
In a flash, Thoric flips his axe from a leaning staff to the weapon that it is designed to be as this man enters the room. As soon as Daranil begins to entertain the games he loosens up. But just only a bit. It seems this could still turn sour.
With a disgusted grunt Thoric looks under the beds without getting too close; “He keeps kids in these chambers? A short drop and sudden stop would be too good for him.” If there is nothing else in this chamber he turns to Azig; “How are those other doors?”
“I can carry it if need be. It could be useful.” Thoric will take the tanglefoot bag if no one else does. As Azig opens the door, Thoric places his shield in front of him and walks through.
Looking after the thugs that are making their way away from battle, the dwarf grips his axe and his gloves creak under his grip. Seeing that the group begins talking he lets out a sigh; “We will need to be on guard now. Lamm will eventually find out that we are here and how many of us there are.” Turning to the new arrivals; “Thoric Stiffbeard, just like the rest of you, I want to see Lamm receive what he deserves.” He places his axe on the ground using the haft as a staff to lean against.
As the newcomers burst on the scene; “Crowded stage or no, if they have weapons to go against Lamm they are welcomed in my tome!” Thoric says as he pivots to provide more strategic footing to take down these foes. With a thunk of his war axe against the thug, he can feel that it struck true but not as effective as he would have liked. They must be put down he thinks to himself.
I do believe we are still in the first round. Everyone has acted, I was just waiting to see who all hit/missed before jumping back to the top. Initiative
Hey Bridgette just wanted to let you know that you rolled a D2 for initiative. You did get max but you may want to reroll that one. Current initiative Initiative: Round 1
Bridgette ?
Welcome Karinna, Lem & Bridgette! Glad to have you with us.
Initiative: Round 1
Agreed, but with four it could be possible... These four have been active.
Can we do a check in to make sure all are still good? I know I am still game. Azig - Investigator
Seeing the thugs surround Neghed, Thoric tries to even the odds to move into flanking position.
I know I just acted, but where are we at in the combat initiative?
Not being stealthful, Thoric isn’t even sure if that is possible, he brings down his axe on the closest thug.
Hey all! I do apologize on my absence. I had a work thing come up and then the weekend. I will be catching back up today/tomorrow. Again, I apologize about that.
Thoric moves forward and grips the thick wooden handle of the ornate waraxe. Muttering something in dwarven under his breath he brings the two handed weapon down on the neck of the dog. Make it quick and painless
As Thoric moves forward into the room, he sees that the dog is unconscious and signals Azig pointing to the desk. He then moves to stand besides the grouping of 3 doors incase something comes through. He stands defensively, shield between him and the doors.
If the dog was unconscious then he wouldn't have attacked the dog. So if that nonlethal attack was missed then we could retcon that and Thoric would not attack.

These next three days I am going on a trip with my wife and kids. It's spring break and we are going to visit family. I'll have my computer with me but might be a little spotty. DM, if you'd like moving forward I would be okay if you rolled the groups initiative. That way we wouldn't have to wait for everyone to get on and roll. Figured I'd through that out incase everyone else felt the same.
The king is dead… a shift in power… Thoric thinks about who might be next in power and if there are any houses that would make a move that aren’t in the family line.
Lost in his thoughts he hurrys to catch up with the rest of the group as he hears Neghed bust open the door. With the growling being hears he draws his war axe. “Let’s make this quick.”
“A pet crocodile!” Throic says shocked; “We do not want to slip into the water if Lamm has that thing by his side.” “I’ll meet you all at the fishery, I am going to grab a few things from my room.”
Watching across the way at the fishery, Thoric looks for any repetitive nature of the people moving in this area. Are they on a rotation of some sort.
Scratching his bearded chin Thoric responds to Lara; “I don’t see why not. I do believe once the spell is cast it just kind of runs its course and over time the spell will fizzle.” he reaches for an arrow; “May I?” He speaks the incantation on the arrow and in that moment the basket that was once lit winks out and the arrow now lights up; “Oh, there is that. I can only illuminate one thing at a time. But that could be an interesting strategic tool to use when infiltrating this fishery.” Looking to Pak; “Maybe with your training we could come up with something to help cause confusion within the rank with this?”
