Expedition to White Plume Mountain [PFRPG]

[Kurgand August]

Unless you need a new set of rolls, I'll use the attacks mentioned above:

Initiative:1d20 + 6 = (2) + 6 = 8

Waraxe:1d20 + 13 = (11) + 13 = 24
Damage:1d10 + 7 = (9) + 7 = 16

2nd Attack:1d20 + 8 = (17) + 8 = 25
Damage:1d10 + 7 = (10) + 7 = 17

[Valanos]

Reposting my actions, as they were a little up the page:

Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Flail 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18
Damage 1d10 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 4 + (5, 1) = 15
Damage to me from Vicious 1d6 ⇒ 6
Only natural

Iterative attack with flail, if needed 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Damage 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

If able, Valanos will move to a flanking position, so long as no creatures can move behind him.

Well that sucked royally, waste my good rolls on knowledge checks that don't garner anything. I'm just going to stop using them, they don't seem to apply, anyone else can gain the same information.

[Jequine]

Just so you all know, I have family visiting this weekend and Bank Holiday (its a national holiday in the UK on Monday, whoopee), so I doubt I will be able to post much over this period. I doubt it will be a problem as Jequine is getting into her armour for the next few rounds.

[Xaldinaar the Ancient]

Wow, with those low Initiatives, I guess the ghouls really did catch you unawares.

[Xaldinaar the Ancient]

it appears we've lost a second player during the trap crossing...Delwyn has not posted in 2 pages...I was waiting on him.

Any idea what you want to do if he has dropped out, NPC play him?, until a new player can be found? I really want this to go on.

[Kurgand August]

I'm willing to keep going as well - distracted as we are with the rogue running around in her knickers. ;-)

[Valanos]

I'm still in

[Geriant Altidor]

Same here

[Sheridan Barlow]

I'm still here too.

[Xaldinaar the Ancient]

Everyone who failed the stench save has the sickened condition.

The speed of the ghoul attack catches the entire party flat footed, Valanos is bitten on the upper arm before he can bring his shield to bear, Kurgan is struck by 2 razor sharp claws. Sheridan is savagely bitten on the leg. Gannertung is attacked by the largest of the ghouls.

Fort Saves:
Valanos make 2 saves 3 dmg
Kurgan make 2 saves 9 dmg
Sheridan make 2 saves 7 dmg
Gannertung make 1 save 8 dmg

[Kurgand August]

Fort Save #1:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Fort Save #2:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Hopefully, that's good enough.

Kurgand barely brings his shield around as the beast is upon. As his shield holds back its slavering maw, it's claws manage to wrap around and dig into his arms.
"Ach...you damned ghoul...I'm not piece of dead flesh for yer teeth!"

[Sheridan Barlow]

Sheridan Fort 1 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Sheridan Fort 2 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Gannertung Fort 1 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Sheridan will take a 5-foot step back to get out of melee before casting, but otherwise my actions are unchanged.

[Xaldinaar the Ancient]

Mostly I was just waiting on Gannertung's save, if he was paralyzed, that would have made things...more interesting, but since he saved, it's all over man...

After the ghouls initial assault, the group of experienced Society members act almost in unison, with Gannertung leading the charge, it quickly tears the ghast to shreds, and tears into the ghouls as Valanos and Kurgan step to, and decimate the ghouls in front of them, in seconds it's over, no one is sure in the mayhem who killed what, only that, even unprepared, you were able to turn the tide of battle and escape with minor injuries, easily healed.

In other words, let's continue, this took too long as it was.

[Jequine]

Jequine, changing into her armor in the shadows, watches on aghast as the combined power of the fighters is brought to bear on the ghouls. AS fast as the battle was entered the battle was won, with an impressive display. Jequine is truly impressed by these warriors, "A girl is lucky to have such protection from a band as powerful as you. That was a truly awesome display, I will have to keep you all safe from the dark mysteries of this place, ready to battle those foes we encounter. Could someone help me complete getting into this armor, Sheridan?", she asks with a certain coquettish charm. She gets dressed into her armor, before helping the champions into theirs, offering Sheridan first.

Once everyone is dressed, she takes the opportunity to look once more around the area, making sure they haven't missed any secret doors or spaces. "Had these ghouls collected anything during their tenure here from other unfortunate adventurers caught unawares?" she thinks.

Perception 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 (+13 for traps)

Xaldinaar:

She makes a point of sharing any treasure she may find here.

Once their work in this area is done, she continues on ahead once again. "OK boys time for me to prepare the way for you and scout on ahead. You all ready for that. OK then let's go."
Perception 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28 (+13 for traps)
Stealth 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

[Sheridan Barlow]

Sheridan, having already thrown his breastplate over his shoulders and buckled it, looks over at Jequine with amusement when he hears her request for help. The amusement fades into disapproval when he notices her intent. "Very well". mage hand.

Infernal:

"Fascinating. Like a Succubus, but somehow even more single-minded and less useful for actual work."

[Valanos]

While chuckling slightly-
Infernal

Spoiler:

True enough

[Xaaon of Korvosa]

Test:

This is a test to see if it says "Test" instead of spoiler

[Kurgand August]

Kurgand checks his armor, giving the lass a look of amusement as she goes about her teasing. "Lass - I think you could charm the skin off a snake if ye put yer mind to it."

With that, dwarf places his helm upon his head, readying axe and shield. He uses his darkvision to keep an eye on her as she moves ahead. Perception:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

[Geriant Altidor]

Geriant shakes his head grinning as he continues to strap on his armor.

[Valanos]

Valanos will don his full plate, with assistance if possible from one who is complete. If not, it will take 10 min. When done, he readies his flail.

[Xaldinaar the Ancient]

Jequine:

You begin searching in the murky water, there appears to be coins scattered about the chamber in addition you find a silver flask full of liquid. You locate a lever that must deactivate the trap on the other side of the wall. How long do you want to search? Do you want the others to assist you?

The rest of the party continues to get back in their armor while Jequine is in the illusory chamber.

[Jequine]

Xaldinaar:

Jequine is calling the others. Just wanted a spoiler here as I've been searching fir stuff.

Jequine smiles as she picks some coins up from the murky water and puts them in her pocket. She finds a silvery flask containing liquid and immediately calls the to the others, "I've found some interesting things in here, come and help me search when you are ready. And don't pull the level I found in here just yet, I'm pretty sure its used to deactivate the trap on the other side of the wall. Anyone can you identify what might be in this silver flask?" She stands looking at the flask, trying to remember if she's seen anything with the same characteristics, she even takes out some magnifying glasses and looks closely at it. She hands it over to the first person in the party that is readily able to identify the flask and its contents.

I assume I'll use the above Perception roll.

Knowledge(Dungeoneering): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Knowledge(Engineering): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Kurgand moves to the room to look around, focusing on trying to figure out what the lever does.

[Jequine]

Come on people, lets get this game moving again.

[Sheridan Barlow]

Jequine wrote:

I second this motion.

[Valanos]

Knowledge dungeoneering 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Knowledge engineering 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

I will attempt knowledge checks, they haven't worked in the past, but who knows.

[Xaldinaar the Ancient]

I was waiting on more than one person to answer Jequine...(and some stuff came up this weekend, and been doing job search related stuff last coupla days.)

Is anyone helping Jequine Search? and how long will you search for? I need these questions answered.

[Kurgand August]

Kurgand has stepped into the room to help her search. From above:

Perception:12
Knowledge Checks: (Dungeoneering):15, (Engineering):26

He'll keep at it as long as Jequine needs the help, or something interesting becomes apparent.

[Jequine]

Xaldinaar, no probs, good luck with the job stuff. Perhaps we all need to dot the story to show we're not doing anything at the time, but ready to move the story on. Or dot the discussion forum, I'nm not fussed which if it helps the game flow easier

Jequine continues for 10 minutes searching the room.

[Valanos]

Valanos will aid another on the search checks, the best way to assist
perception 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

The glut of epic rolls continues

[Xaaon of Korvosa]

After 10 minutes of searching, the three of you find 22 plat, 67 gold and a dozen silver.

[Kurgand August]

"Some coin, but nothing on Keraptis. Move on then, eh?"
The dwarf readjusts his weapon, and will continuing to focus on using darkvision to look for any hidden surprises (probably following in Jequine's wake) as we move forward.

Spilt the treasure among 5(or is it 6?) or keep it together for now?

[Jequine]

Jequine would say share the spoils, not sure she trusts anyone to hold the lot at the moment.Looks like 5 at the moment.

After the spoils are shared, if everyone is still happy with her leading out she will continue, 30ft in front of the party.

Perception 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24 +13 for traps
Stealth 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

[Kurgand August]

OK - by my count that's 5 pp, 17 gp, and 6 sp each, with a couple of silver pieces left over.

[Valanos]

Valanos will not accept the funds, "I seek knowledge, and right now, in this place, such items (pp, gp, etc) are unnecessary. When such a time comes, I would request them."

"You do well with searches, inform us if help is needed."

[Kurgand August]

"Alright, lad...I'll keep your share for now. Next rounds on me when this is all over."

[Xaldinaar the Ancient]

Jequine slips down the corridor.Sneaking through a door, Jequine you note a 10'x20' wide pit trap with spikes that are covered in some sort of liquid, probably poison.

[Jequine]

I assume that the trap goes completely across from wall to wall in the passageway.

Jequine looks down at the spikes, wondering is it worth climbing down and harvesting the poison, no probably not. So she waits for the rest of the party to appear, she beckons them to come forward slowly, "Careful now, this pit set to trap us is full of poison spikes on its floor. Perhaps we can be taken across this gap, as we were before, is that all right with you Sheridan?"

Jequine studies the walls and the other side of the pit, to see if there are any traps set to catch the unwary traveler. She peers down into the pits, trying to see in any unfortunates have lost their possessions in this pit of death.

Perception1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 an additional 2 to find traps

[Sheridan Barlow]

"Sounds like a plan to me" As soon as Jequine has finished checking for any additional traps, Gannertung will begin the airlifting process.

Advance warning: I've got a major family reunion coming up, so I'll be without internet access for about a week starting this Saturday.

[Kurgand August]

Barring any complications, Kurgand hitches a ride to cross.

Have a good time, wanderer. Don't eat too much potatoe salad. ;-)

[Jequine]

The door I slipped through, was it leading into the main corridor, or was it across the main corridor? Trying to picture if we entered a large room, another corridor, or continuing down the same corridor. If its a large room, Jequine will try and disbelieve the pit.

Will save to disbelieve 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Yep she believes

[Txoro of Barsaive]

I will update the map tonight, the room turned right as you entered, it's 20 feet with, and 60-70 foot long.

[Xaldinaar the Ancient]

Hmmm...who is this impostor! *Munches Txoro*

heh used the wrong aVaTaR

[Kurgand August]

Well...I didn't want to mention your "lizard" was showing...thought it might be embarassing. ;-))

[Xaldinaar the Ancient]

Jequine: Updated Map

Where are the others while Jequine scouts ahead?

[Jequine]

Jequine, finds a shadow and hides, waiting for the first of the party to come across the pit trap. When Sheridan brings across the first of the party, which I assume is gonna be Kurgund, Jequine cautiously starts to scout ahead and looks once more down the room/corridor for more traps and anything else of interest.

Perception 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 +2 against traps
Stealth 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

Xaldinaar:

I assume the two things marked 'A' are the pit traps I see? So I am in area 22 between the pit traps? Sheridan and his magical companion are doing the ferrying of people across the first trap.
