What kind of spell check does Rin need to make to wobble across the rope bridge?

"spell check"? Again, the bridge was easy enough to cross.

Ummm ... the kind of spell check that drinking some nice Portugese white wine makes you think you need? For "spell check" please read "skill check".

Rin bounds confidently across the rope bridge. "That was easier than I thought it would be. Thanks Lafiel."

[Barshevy]

Athletics check: 1d20+1=17

[pat512]

Is it safe to assume that everyone is crossing in marching order? (with the exception of Lafiel, who set up the safety rope) No checks needed.

[Fargrim]

Yes

[Barshevy]

Yup

[pat512]

You all hear a cackle, then Drivish, the last across, seems to wobble midway.

Drivish:

Spoiler:

You've been pushed in the back. Make an Acrobatics check.

[Drivish Ammasin]

Looks like I'm taking a header.
Acrobatics = 8

[pat512]

Drivish suddenly falls off the arch, overbalanced, and plunges down the 40 feet to the pool below. At that moment, the giggler appears, a small, horned, winged devil hovering the bridge -- it apparently pushed Drivish and is laughing maniacally.

Fall damage, halved (2d10=13)

Drivish, -13hp, the current isn't bad in the wide pool.
Init:
Lafiel
Imp
Fargrim
Drivish
Qadim-sul
Barshevy
Rin

[Lafiel Abriel]

Lafiel quickly throws a dagger at the flying demon, which misses, then throws another one at it.

Hunter's Quarry on demon, Sly flourish on the demon, use an action point for another Sly Flourish on the demon. 1d20+11=13, 1d4+6=10, 2d8=6, 1d6=2
1d20+11=22, 1d4+6=10, 2d8=13, 1d6=4
(Sly Flourish, Dagger damage, Sneak Attack, Hunter's Quarry)

[Drivish Ammasin]

Drivish swims towards the closest ledge and then starts climbing while announcing "I'm ok."
Athletics = 26,20

[pat512]

The imp squawks in pain and indignation, then vanishes.

Minor action for Perception DC24:

Spoiler:

It's in C10 and winging it back to the ziggurat

It's bloodied.
Fargrim
Drivish
Qadim-sul
Barshevy
Rin
Lafiel

[Fargrim]

There's no way Fargrim will ever make a 24.

"Where'd the blasted thing go!?"

[Rin Lyulfsson]

Rin can only make it on a natural 20. He rolled a 12.

"Anyone know where it went?" - he looks wildly around.

[Barshevy]

I failed mine too.

[Lafiel Abriel]

Lafiel looks around for the imp, but can't locate it. "Guess we found our giggler" she tells Rin, then throws Drivish her rope.

1d20+6=19

[Rin Lyulfsson]

"Be nice if we could see the blighter. I don't much like the thought of it shoving us into the next gelatinous cube that comes along."

[pat512]

It stopped giggling when struck for so much damage, but the indications of pain seemed to be headed to the west, back toward the ziggurat.

[pat512]

Lafiel:

Spoiler:

When you got your rope out of the pack earlier (sorry), you notice the hand was no longer in there, though the amulet still was.

I only bring this up because it came to my attention at a f2f game last night, but you can only use Hunter's quarry and Sneak Attack once per round.

Thanks, though actually I believe the rule is that you can only do the damage from them once per round -- as Lafiel's first attack missed, the second attack gets all the extras.

You're right, I didn't notice the first attack missed.

[Lafiel Abriel]

While throwing the rope to Drivish:
"The mummy-hand... It's gone. It disappeared from my pack somehow. The amulet is still here however." Lafiel tells her comerades. "Not that I care too much about that disgusting thing however...".

Afterwards:
"Lets go finish the job with that annoying demon-thing." Lafiel says, and starts walking back across the arch towards the ziggurat room. While moving, she tries to notice any signs (like drops of blood on the floor or the sound of flapping wings) to discern where the demon is.

[Rin Lyulfsson]

"Good plan. Call me Mr Fusspot, but giggly things that push friends of bridges are no friends of mine." Rin cautiously follows Lafiel, orb at the ready.

[Barshevy]

"Yes, let's finish off the wretched little thing."

Barshevy claps his mouth.

"I - I didn't mean that. I'm afraid the violence of this place beginning to affect me."

[pat512]

So everyone goes back across the bridge? The portal and ladder are another 40' off the map to the west.

Lafiel:

Spoiler:

There are occasional drops of black blood on the ground of the tunnel

[Lafiel Abriel]

Yes, Lafiel will go back across the bridge

Lafiel moves quietly, raising a finger to her lips and pointing towards the trail drops of black blood on the floor.

Stealth Check, Perception Check (1d20+10=12, 1d20+6=17)

[Rin Lyulfsson]

Rin follows the rogue looking grim.

[Drivish Ammasin]

Drivish follows the others. He whispers "Let's keep back a ways. I, for one, can't move half as quietly as Lafiel."

I'm having computer issues, and I may be spotty for the next day or two. DM, feel free to npc me if I hold the game up.

[Fargrim]

"Aye, we should be careful. Let's keep going."

[pat512]

As Lafiel leads the way, suddenly she feels a sharp sting on the back of her neck, and the devil reappears. The stung area turns icy cold and Lafiel feels dazed and distracted.

"Cursed humans! Go ahead, kill me, there's worse waiting for you!"

Imp tail sting attack (1d20+8=17, 1d8+3=9)
Secondary attack v Fort (1d20+5=15)

Not technically dazed, but -2 to Will. 9hp damage and 5 ongoing poison, save ends. You're still in a 5' passage. The imp is tiny, so can be (and is) in the same space as Lafiel, and is visible. Rin is right behind Lafiel, with the others in some order behind (Drivish in the rear). Anyone can move past Lafiel, but will draw an OA from the imp.
Init:
Fargrim
Drivish
Qadim-sul
Barshevy
Rin
Lafiel
Imp

[Lafiel Abriel]

Lafiel yelps from the sting on the back of her neck. Trying to shake the poison off, she strikes the imp, luring it farther away from her.

Positioning Strike vs. imp - I'll move it 2 squares, preferably to Fargrim.
Positioning Strike (Vs. Will);Damage;Hunter's Quarry (1d20+9=22, 1d4+4=6, 1d6=2)

If Lafiel is still in the same square as the imp, she'll tumble to move away from the imp (3 Squares, preferably back towards the bridge)

Lafiel's neck feels terrible from the imp's poison.
Save vs. Poison (1d20=9)

[Barshevy]

Minor action: I cast Healing Word on Lafiel.

1d6+3=9

Standard action: I cast Sacred Flame (Wis vs. Ref) on the imp.

1d20+3=22

Damage:

1d6+3=5

This spell also gives Lafiel +3 to her next saving throw.

[Drivish Ammasin]

Fargrim, please wait just a second!

Drivish moves past the imp. "Lafiel, sorry, but try to duck." He turns and spits a blast of cold at Lafiel and the imp.

Double move to get the imp within 3 squares and use dragon breath, marking the imp.
21 vs. Imp's Reflex; 19 vs. Lafiel's Reflex
5 cold damage

[pat512]

Drivish manages to slide past the imp to line up his cold blast, which catches both the imp and the rogue, then Lafiel, though still feeling the cold of the poison (as well as the dragonborn) kills the thing.

Combat over -- Lafiel, roll a couple more saves to see how many surges you have to burn.

EDIT: Correction -- Barshevy went before you and gave a save bonus, so you only took the ongoing this turn, and the 9+3 saved at the end of this turn.

[Lafiel Abriel]

As the imp falls to the ground, Lafiel eyes Drivish nervously. Obviously she isn't happy with what happened.

Pat

Spoiler:

Lafiel doesn't really trust Drivish after his choice, and she feels like there was a good chance of her dying on that combat (She was on 2 HP in the beginning of her round). For that reason she readies a dagger while walking, but conceals it in her sleeve, ready for anything to happen ahead and behind her.

[Barshevy]

Barshevy gives Drivish an annoyed look.

Healing word on Drivish

1d6+3=5

Then I take a five minute break while the imp's remains are being examined.

[Rin Lyulfsson]

Rin looks around in slight bewilderment as his companions decimate the imp.

"Lafiel, do you want my blanket? You look a little chilled."

To Drivish - "Remind me never to argue with you. Can all dragonborn do that?"

[Drivish Ammasin]

Drivish addresses the group: "Again, Lafiel, I apologize. I would never take harming an ally lightly, and this was no exception. I saw the potential damage an invisible enemy could do and I took a risk. I can assure I will never become reckless with my breath weapon or any other weapon, as evidenced when we fought the swarm. At this time, it seemed to be an appropriate action.... And yes, all dragonborn can breath some form of lethal element."

[Barshevy]

Is it safe to say we're going to search the imp's body? It would be nice to get that mummy hand back. Did I just type that? Yuck!

[Rin Lyulfsson]

"I know the problem. Most of my more powerful spells don't discriminate. The day may come when I have to take the same risk as Drivish. Like him, it's not a decision I'd take lightly. But you should know, for your own sakes, that the possibility is there." Rin stops talking and examines the imp's body.

[pat512]

Not much to see on the imp's body. Tiny humanoid with wings and a tail that stings.

Lafiel:

Spoiler:

Noted.

Brief rest, I assume?

[Lafiel Abriel]

Lafiel listens to Drivish's words without showing her thoughts about the subject anymore.

Yeah, a short rest would be good.

[pat512]

So, burn your surges, then what? On down the tunnel across the bridge?

[Rin Lyulfsson]

Yes. Unless anyone has a better idea?

[Barshevy]

The mummified hand may be an important item. If the imp stole it and hid it, it can't be far from here. I suggest we spend a few attempts searching for it.

[Rin Lyulfsson]

Good point. Go for it.

[Barshevy]

I focus my search for nooks in the walls (if they are not flat.) The imp might store things high up.

Perception:

1d20+3=9

The walls have nooks, but Barshevy has no luck.

[Lafiel Abriel]

Perception Check (1d20+6=7)

Lafiel can't even find the nooks.
