WAAAAAAAGH!!

Sorry about the delay, this game fell off my radar for a bit.

Zilka shakes off the momentary dizziness and moves up with her whip readied, then cracks it at one of the kobolds, trying to trip.

Trip vs. green: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

The little lizard-man tumbles to the floor.

Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Zilka is a little close-mouthed as they handle the choker and head down the hall. She seems slightly distracted, but pulls out her sword and whip at the ready.

Sorry for not posting for a bit. I was rather burnt out for a while myself.

"I'd rather not have it at my back. If one of us was a monster-whisperer and could convince it to be friends with us, maybe. But that sounds unlikely."

No worries.

Zilka moves up to one of the tunnels and sends her dancing lights forward in the shape of a humanoid.

"Want me to send dancing lights ahead to see what's breathing?"

Are you retrieving missed crossbow bolts, Bella? 50% chance misses are retrievable.

Zilka follows the others lead, holding her sword at the ready.

"I can tell you, once we get back to town I'm gonna pay one of those ladies at the Duck to give me a good rub down. Muscles are gonna be sore after this for sure. We could probably all use one."

I think it was called the Duck? It's been a while.

"Everyone alright except Zirren?"

Ok, so we're down now?

Zilka steps out and swings her sword at the nearest Kobold.

Longsword, two-handed, luck activated as a swift action: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 = 19

damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12

Checking in.

Zilka's gear is 88 lbs and she herself is 201 lbs. She's got big muscles. This thing's gonna fall, isn't it?

I was under the mistaken impression that Nat was already down below. If there was room, Zilka would have waited for him too.

Once Ruhk gets in, Zilka will start the process of lowering the cauldron.

"Rukh, you get in too! I think there's trouble down below and they need all of us!"

Is there room for anyone else in the bucket or is it too full now? If it's full, Zilka will start lowering it.

OK so where is zilka supposed to be? I thought I was getting in the elevator when combat broke out? Is that the well thing on the first map in area 17? I will assume that to be the case and moved my icon. Who else is coming down with me?

Take it easy. I know how easy it is to get burnt out on GMing.

Ok then it's a standard action for Zilka to operate the lift, then move into it, and activating luck. Someone else will need to do the move action to send it down since I can't delay a move action until after someone steps in, unless Zilka is going alone.

"Someone strong needs to be up here to operate the lift. Um... How are we getting back up again?"

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Zilka hears the commotion from down below and starts pulling hurriedly on the chain.

Are we all down on the lower level now?

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"Hmm, what's these metal things do?"

"I don't want to wait up here while you boys have all the fun!" Zilka says with a smirk.

"This ol' leather jerkin I'm wearin' used to belong to my old man. Fortunately, I ain't that busty, so I can wear it too. Armor and weapons wanna be used. Best to use them for the same cause the previous wearer died for."

Art can, but it's probably not sized for him, unless magic weapons resize for their wielders. Ruhk can, but Bethany might get jealous. Zilka cannot. I'm thinking of taking a level of fighter or something but not just yet. I'm seriously thinking of focusing on the whip mastery chain of feats and it's super feat intensive. Maybe after I get 2nd level spells.

Zilka puts a hand on Caine's shoulder. "That's a good name as well, but you sound like someone just told you your dog died, man, what's the matter?"

"Hmm. Forgesmasher in Orcish is 'Kuznechtz'. Sounds kinda badass. I don't speak Dwarvish though."

When the hammer suggests Alrak, she nods. "I like that. Do you think you were a dwarf before you died? I mean, that's mostly what the creature would have had access to, right?"

What alignment is it? Gotta make sure whoever wields it is compatible.

"Well, it looks like you're super strong against undead, and you can cast a spell to heal afflictions, like damage from poison and such. You could take a name that describes that, like Ghoulcrusher or something."

"What was your name when you were alive?" asks Zilka as she tries to figure out the nature of the hammer's enchantment as well.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Ever read the Liar's Blade/Island/Bargain books? Really good stories about an intelligent sword and his rogue.

"If it's physical damage to his body, these could help. But then, so could the wand."

Noticing Zirren casting detect magic, Zilka goes for the more traditional way of searching and starts looking through everything in search of any valuables.

Take 20 on perception?

"Was it actually a devil that came from the hells, or just magic given the shape of a devil?"

Zilka grabs the other hammer and helps Caine beat the chain on the anvil. (That is, if Caine takes the adamantine hammer, she'll use the silver one, and if he does not, she'll take it.)

Is the weapon one that can be disarmed or is it fused to the creature's body? This is a disarm attempt if it can be disarmed, otherwise it is a trip attempt.

1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18

With a 5-ft step to the location Zilka is currently at on the map, is she close enough to pick up the silver hammer and bring it down on the chain like Caine did?

We might have to beat down the forgespurned and then use its tools to smash the chain.

reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

"If we can destroy the chain, it will be defeated!"

Activating luck.

Zilka moves around to the side of the forge, trying to get out of the cloud of cinders.

Trip: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9

She cracks her whip, trying to catch the creature's leg, but misses entirely.

Doesn't seem like it to me. What are you experiencing?

Same bonus to religion as planes. Actually I cast heightened awareness earlier so it would be a 28 instead. I'll dismiss the spell for initiative bonus as well:

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 4 = 12

knowledge(planes): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Now seeing the creature in person, Zilka tries to recall if she knows anything about it.

Looking forward to investigating the Azlanti ruins. I added Azlanti to Zilka's languages specifically for that purpose. I'm going to play it as she always had it but it hadn't come up yet.

"Careful now... let's be ready," Zilka whispers to the others as they move in. Casting Heightened Awareness on herself.

Zilka blinks, shakes her head, and blinks again.

"Well alrighty then."

"It's a lot easier to pick up a weapon than to pick up a woman," Zilak quips.

"To be clear - is the woman an actual woman, or a decoration on the axe? The way you described it is a little confusing."
