im invoking the "mook" rule
so ghaun takes down three of the duergar
mook rule
| Raven34 |
Seeing the panic of the duergar brings a smile to Miu's face.
"Good work boys! Time to finish them off!"With these words Miu takes another swing at the duergar next to her.
1d20+10; 1d8+6
mook rule makes sense to me
the duergar near you is already dead so i will assume you use your crossbow on a further enemy
the remaining duergar can do very little expcept mill around
so its round 4
pc's are up
| Charlyl Rilynghym |
Charlyl drops his sword, pulls out his heavy crossbow, and fires into the milling duergars.
atk & dmg: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 241d10 ⇒ 4
Capture one for quick questioning or kill them all? Maybe the hostage will have some info on the gauths or other surprises? Why do we always end up killing the sergeants...
| Charlyl Rilynghym |
"Looks like we still have the element of surprise," Charlyl informs his cousins as he joins them, gingerly stepping around the sticky web, "unfortunately, unless we can somehow fool the gauth, the stealthy part of our operation is over, unless..."
"I have a crazy idea," whispers Charlyl with a mischievous grin as he takes out a plain, black box out of his backpack, "this is a disguise kit. I can make you (points at Ghaun) look like him (jerks his thumb at the dead wizard). The disguise will not hold forever, but it should get you close enough to the gauth. Us three will follow behind you as the mine's 'reinforcements.' Ghaun, if the gauth are suspicious even after you have introduced us, leave the talking to me. Once we've closed the distance, we can surprise them. What say you all?"
I really want to make fun of Miu as the only one trapped in the web, but am afraid that she'll simply brain me with her mace. I should have been a cleric...
| Raven34 |
i think i may bring in a new house rule!
that if pcs kill a npc too quick they get no treaure!
Charlyl you really ruined my fun! grumble grumble!
the wizard did not even get one spell off!

| Charlyl Rilynghym |
Just curious, how do you guys usually divide loot among the party members? In my face-to-face section, all loot gets sold, unless someone wants to claim something. If you claim, let's say, the wand, then you pay 1/2 price and put that $ into the pot. This way, regardless of how many items are claimed, everyone still get the same share of $ as if they have sold everything. Fair?
| Ghaun'mere |
Ghaun smiles impishly at Mia, "You should enjoy being in Lolth's web." dismiss web before Mia brains me ;)
As far as the items go, I'd like the wand, scrolls, spellbook and diamond dust.
Charlyl's request seems fair. I'll have to give a rain check on the money till the end.
roll to see if I'm the next imposter drow: 1d10 ⇒ 6
| Charlyl Rilynghym |
So apparently Charlyl himself looks most like the dead wizard...
disguise check 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
Throwing the dead wizard's robe over himself, Charlyl turns around to his cousins, "Well, how do I look?"
I wish I could have rolled higher. Maybe you guys can do Perception checks to see if you can see through my disguise yourselves?
Edit: While reading over Disguise, I found that the roll is suppose to be made secretly. If that's the case, then we're on our way assuming my cousins are convinced I did a good enough job?
| Raven34 |
you open the door and go in
the are lots of younglings working on tables, they are cleaning and polishing armour and some weapons, they are also sewing garments and doing other tasks, (you have found a sweatshop!) there are various and there are two gauths
one of the gauth looks at you and says "Ry'lik what do you want? who are the others with you?"
before you can say anything, the other gauth then says "you're not Ry'lik!! INTRUDERS!"
at this point we go to iniative for round one
i will send you a battle map, people need to tell me if they are happy with where they are
I have allowed you to get fairly close as the gauth only beat your disguise by a few points

| Miu Rilynghym |
You see Miu on the edge of an angry outburst at the wizard's remark but against your expectations she only walks towards her looting cousins, snatches away the potions, says:
"I shall keep these safe. You would only waste them. The wizardy stuff will be of more use in your hands Ghaun'mere... I suggest you take good care of them and don't waste it. You can thank me later."
and moves with her cousins to the next room.
position is fine
| Charlyl Rilynghym |
"Duck and cover, young ones!" Charlyl yells as he draws his crossbow (move action) & shoots a bolt at the nearest gauth.
Atk & Dmg: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 191d10 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + (5, 5, 3) = 16
Do the tables give cover? I imagine not because I can't picture dwarven tables higher than my waist.
Also, can you give a description of what these gauths look like? Charlyl has never seen one before, and is most curious to know.
| Raven34 |
The gauth, sometimes known as the lesser beholder, is a 4-foot
wide orb dominated by a central eye. Six smaller eyes on stalks
sprout from the top of its body,
the gauth act!
the gauth move up so they are 10ft in the air and fire off some of their eye rays
can Charlyl make a will save (or be paralyzed for a while) dc14
Vhorun you are automatically exhausted
Ghaun can you make a dc 14 will save or be paralyzed for a while
Miu can you make dc 14 fortitude save or be stunned for a round
| Raven34 |
Shrugging off the eyeray, Ghaun'mere focuses his blood given magic.
Use Dispel Magic spell like ability as area effect on all failed saves: 1d20+6; 1d20+6; 1d20+6
I am happy to disuss this but i dont think dispel magic will work on
most of the effectsMy understanding is that Miu will still be stunned, the magic that has caused the stun is no longer active just its effect
the same applies to vhorun so the dispel magic does not work on them
BUT Charly is paralized by an ongoing effect so your dispel works on him (i will use your first dispel roll)
I am willing to discuss this becuase i could be wrong! (email me) but for this round it is moot anyway because your other two dispel rolls would be too low to dispel anyway
I hope i am being fair

| Vhorun Rilynghym |
Suddenly feeling too exhausted to fight the gauths Vhorun find a gold piece in his purse and close his fist around it.
"They've sapped my strength!" he yells to his companion.
"Try looking through this you ugly son of an orc whore"
Using his innate magic he makes the gold piece allmost shine darkness and toss it in the gauths direction.
use deeper darkness on the gold piece and toss it at the gauths. he then closes to melee distance, listening for their position.
Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
| Raven34 |
the coin lands in ef/18 19
causing everthing to go dark within a 60ft area (this is a nasty innate ability Vhorun!!)
you hear dwarves scattering all over the place
vhorun gets to f 14
round two
the entire room is dark you cant see anything, you can hear young dwarves all over the place, making various nervous, scared sounds
please note that you have a 50 percent miss chance and can you tell me what square you are attacking
