[Glaurung of Anfauglith]

For last round Glaurung will cast Bull's Strength.

She will then draw her longspear as she advances in front of Hrolf and stabs at the one grappling Tsusoku.

longspear attack with EP, BS, and IC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

damage with EP, BS, and IC: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

confirming: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

extra crit damage (x3): 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 3) + 12 = 21

Suddenly a large crocodile appears next to Chun and Tsusoku. It turns and attacks Chun, but the crocodile misses.

A small purple creature, similar to the other you have seen, appears from behind a tub and grinning wickedly, sends a three missiles of arcane force toward Han, Chun

Han tries to trip one of the ceiling creatures, but it does not seem able to be tripped.

Tsusoku tries to escape the bonds of his attacker, but is unsuccessful.

Hrolf's summoned eagles appear and attack the creatur eon Tsusoku's head. One of the eagles manages to claw the thing.

Hrolf then thrusts his spear and stabs the creature. The creature falls to the ground, lifeless.

[Glaurung of Anfauglith]

I'll be gone most of the day working on the farm so I'll roll my attacks now.

Glaurung advances on the nearest creature and attacks with her longspear.

Longspear attack with EL, BS, and IC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Forgot the IC damage last time

[Tsusoku]

Brick flails at all creatures, hitting none. His hair, however, seems more precise. Attempt to hit the other flying thing!

Hair: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 291d4 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 11
If hits, Grapple+constrict: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 131d4 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 10

Confirm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 151d4 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

He then stands his ground against the space gator.

[Chun Hei]

On the map the crocodile doesn't appear adjacent to me, but it attacked me so I assumed that it is. If not I'll attack the adjacent ceiling beastie instead.

After being being hit with the magic missles:

"I'll not be defeated by your foul magics."

Chun Hei will then take an aggressive stance and slice across the crocodile's snout.

Judgement: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18

Chun Hei will follow up with a bite against any adjacent foe.

Bite: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

[GM Tektite]

He is adjacent, forgot to move him closer.

Chun attacks the crocodile, his spear piercing the creature tough hide.

Suddenly the room goes black and you are all shrouded in darkness.

Chun feels the creatures presence go away.

Glaurung attacks the crocodile in the inky blackness, she feels the spear hit and suddenly the crocodile is gone.

You all hear some devious chittering, suddenly Chun, Glaurung, Hrolf, and Han find themselves falling into a 20 ft deep pit!

Chun Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8
Hrolf Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4
Han Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9
Glaurung Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

Ref. Save DC 17 to avoid falling into the pit.

Han, Tsusoku, and Hrolf

[Tsusoku]

"... can't see nothin'..." What level of darkness is this, for the benefit of the darkvision-having folk?

Full Defense (AC 22 Regular, 13 FF, 13 Touch, 10 Flat Touch)

Edit: Err, I meant on this level. I.e. Dim, Dark, Magically Dark. I'm presuming it's Supernaturally dark, since we ALL got affected, though.

[GM Tektite]

CL 5

[Hrolf 'Beastheart' Hakonson]

Reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Hrolf curses in surprise as the pit underneath him. His musclebound frame proves too slow and the big ulfen tumbles into the pit.

After a feel in the dark and a growl of frustration, the big ulfen resumed chanting.

Begin summoning again.

Due to the darkness, I'm not sure where the active enemies are. Before Hrolf fell into the pit he would have directed the eagles to attack the ones casting spells.

Hrolf's summons continue to tear at the enemies.

Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Confirming: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Additional Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

If the eagles have to move to attack, just use the first claw from each set.

I don't think anyone has Darkvision, three humans, a gnome and a nagaji.

The only sources of light were what you brought in

[Hrolf 'Beastheart' Hakonson]

Hrolf's summons do.

[GM Tektite]

Hrolf 'Beastheart' Hakonson wrote:

Ok, so the spellcaster did't move until after darkness fell. I suppose you could have directed them to the one making casting noises. They would have had to move. So if you just use first two claws, they miss. You can keep the following rolls for the next round if it is still there. I believe we are in supernatural darkness are we not?

[Hrolf 'Beastheart' Hakonson]

Barring some form of super-vision that would blind the caster too.

[GM Tektite]

Hrolf 'Beastheart' Hakonson wrote:

Excellent point, we'll treat it as just darkness. Neither if the eagle's first claw attacks hit though

[Hrolf 'Beastheart' Hakonson]

Sounds good.

[Han Van Thao]

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Han avoids the pit like the plague. "Bah, stupid darkness." He will take out his wand and heal himself since people have actually decided to target him before stepping back.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

[GM Tektite]

Ref Save Chun: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Ref Save Glaurung: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Hrolf falls into the pit, while the three others are able to jump to the edges, staying out of the pit.

Landing safely on his feet, Han pulls out his wand and heals himself.

Tsusoku pulls himself into a defensive crouch.

Hrolf curses as he falls and begins to summon again.
Hrolfs eagles find the little caster, but do not manage to hit anything.

Chun is up

Anyone standing adjacent to the pit, as Chun and Glaurung are, at the end of their turn must make another Ref. Save to avoid sliding into the pit.

** spoiler omitted **

Yep, I was being lazy and didn't type it, figuring I'd adjust it if the roll came up

[Chun Hei]

If the pit is in front of Chun Hei:

Chun Hei will use the withdraw action to move back 15ft (half speed) and hopefully out of the darkness.

If the pit is behind Chun Hei:

Chun Hei will draw her potion of fly and drink it, provoking from anybody next to her that can still see.

[GM Tektite]

Chun and Glaurung are in front of the pit, Han is behind.

[GM Tektite]

Chun retrieves and drinks a potion of flying

1d3 ⇒ 1

Slam Attack on Tsusoku: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Slam Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Grab: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

The ceiling creature attack Tsusoku, but misses the crouching Tien.

Miss Chance, Low is Good: 1d100 ⇒ 87

Glaurung attacks in the direction of the ceiling monster,, but misses in the darkness.

The little caster continues to chitter away maniacally, suddenly the party hears a whoosh of flame and an eagle screech.

[Han Van Thao]

Han will just move back out of the darkness and total defense.

[GM Tektite]

Han slowly backs out of the darkness.

Tsusoku reflexively lashes out at the creature attacking him, but fails to connect.

[Hrolf 'Beastheart' Hakonson]

The two older eagles tear at their target.

Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Hrolf finishes his previous spell and begins a new one.

Starting another summon.

The fresh eagle flies up to join its fellows.

Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

[Chun Hei]

Chun Hei will fly to the SW (Fly speed of 40) in an attempt to escape the darkness and confront their foe.

If there's a foe Chun Hei can see and reach she will fly over it and attack. I think there's one along the west edge, just outside of the darkness, but I'm having a little trouble figuring out the darkness's exact squares.

Judgement: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
Immediate Misfortune on self to reroll.
Judgement: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 = 27

Total Damage: 30

[GM Tektite]

Hrolf's eagle attack the caster, though their claws and beaks have trouble damaging it.

Chun glides over like death itself and pronounces death on the pitiful creature, her sword neatly decapitating the small figure.

As the caster dies, Hrolf finds himself on level with his party again.

Slam Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Slam Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Grab: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Seeing it's master go down, the ceiling creature flies over and slams Chun, but cannot grapple her.

[Chun Hei]

Chun Hei will let out a snarl and slice at the ceiling beastie before taking a bite out of it.

Bite: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7

[Han Van Thao]

Han will delay.

[Glaurung of Anfauglith]

I think Glaurung is out of the pit. If she can see the creature and get to it, she will attack with her longspear again.

longspear attack with EP, BS, and IC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

[GM Tektite]

You are still in the area of darkness, in a room filled with sharp things.(i.e. 10/15 ft movement to avoid anything.)

[Glaurung of Anfauglith]

In that case Glaurung will instead use her Wand of Shield and advance 10 feet forward, very carefully.

[GM Tektite]

Tsusoku and Hrolf

[Hrolf 'Beastheart' Hakonson]

Hrolf finishes his spell conjuring a fourth bird and bids it to join the others.

I'm on my phone right now so viewing the map is tough. If any if the birds can't full attack, just use the first claw.

Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The big ulfen then stands and moves close enough to threaten the creature with his spear.

[GM Tektite]

Between Hrolf's eagles and Chun's sword, the last creature is torn to shreds.

Out of Comabt

After about five minutes, the darkness dispels and you all can see around the room.

[Han Van Thao]

Han puts his wand away and congratulates everyone. "You all did fine. That'll do." He visibly breathes a sigh of relief.

[Hrolf 'Beastheart' Hakonson]

Hrolf grumbles aloud until his powers of speech return and then he dismisses his summoned companions with a wave of his hand.

"With any luck, that's the last of those creatures we'll see. Is anyone hurt? I have a measure of power left still that could be used to heal."

[Glaurung of Anfauglith]

"I was hurt, but just a bit.

"Now lets find this treasure. I believe I owe this one dinner." Glaurung says, running her nails up Hrolf's arm.

[Hrolf 'Beastheart' Hakonson]

Hrolf offer a smile and a nod.

"I haven't forgotten little one. Let me help you with that."

The big ulfen touches one of the gnome's wounds and mutters a spell.

CLW: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

[Chun Hei]

Chun Hei munches on the last beastie a bit before using her wand of Infernal healing on herself.

Chun Hei's fly will wear out about the same time as the darkness.

"Doesss anybody have any clue what any of thosse thingss were?"

[Glaurung of Anfauglith]

For another couple minutes Glaurung isn't so little anymore because of Enlarge Person :)

[Hrolf 'Beastheart' Hakonson]

True. =P

You should be careful lest the Ulfen get too excited. :)

[GM Tektite]

Following Sascha's instructions, the party finds the cache easily enough, under a couple of loose flagstones. Lifting away the flagstones, you find; a handy haversack that contains a +1 longsword, a +1 mithral chain shirt, a ring of sustenance, and several hundred gold and platinum coins. In addition, you find a tarnished, plain silver locket.

[Hrolf 'Beastheart' Hakonson]

Hrolf looks through the assembled items.

"This looks like it. I guess we're done here", the big ulfen says.

"Is there anything anyone needs to take a look at before we head back?"

[Han Van Thao]

"No, I would prefer to leave as soon as possible." Han takes out his flask and takes a drink.

[Tsusoku]

"... Boss lady wants all'th demon cult stuff outta'here." Brick states, scratching his helmet. "Reckon I'd'nt know what one looks like, though."
