Fernus finds Shadow rummaging through his packs and he finds it so sad, he knows he hasn't got any biscuits left. Well perhaps Fernus can go without a few less apples and somewhat stale hard bread as well.
He picks up an apple and a slice of bread from his pack and holds it in front of Shadow's mouth, apple first.
"Here you go Shadow, it's not much but it's something." He says as he pats the horse on his flank.
Bear updates his spell selection just a little, then readies himself for what is next.
Shadow eats Fernus' offered apples and bread and nuzzles him so hard he almost falls over. Shadow attempts to foliow down the stairs and whinnies when he does not fit.
Bear casts Barksin on himself as we get ready to go down.
Realizing that the party is remaining in place, Tarinhil steps aside and begins mixing reagents, preparing his final extract for the day, and quickly throwing it back.
Tarinhil suggests, "I'm thinking that now that we've killed the goblin king, the demon-lady and her allies are probably on guard -- so I'd suggest we try a more sneaky approach rather than bursting forward loudly and blindly -- especially considering how well that worked last time?"
With that, he steps forward to a place ahead of the group and says, "I can go ahead. I can even give myself darkvision, if we need it."
Tarin do you use the ritual when mixing your mutagen?
Beastly Concoction (Su) This journal grants you the ability to make an extremely potent and savage mutagen. Spend this boon when you imbibe your mutagen. The mutagen grants you a +6 alchemical bonus to your selected ability score instead of the normal +4; you take a –2 penalty to all of your mental ability scores (Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma) while the mutagen is in effect.
"We can try that Tarin, but the rest of us will be ready to cover you if they see you. Just be sure we hear you."
I nod at Tarin in acceptance, then looks to the others, "What's that drakvision he keeps on talkin' about?"
Nope not tangle foot bombs until you level all bonus feats and stuff do not take effect until you level
so what do you guys do? you are in the meeting room and it is empty,
Bear will cast Guidance on himself then bring out his last scroll of Shillelagh and cast it then have someone open the door so he can charge in.
Southwest door.
Tarinhil scowls as Bear draws the scroll, "Might be premature. It's probably just a hallway." He then approaches the southwest door carefully, first listening to try to hear what may be on the other side, and then examining the door to see if it may be trapped. Once satisfied it looks safe, he will check to make sure the hinges aren't rusty or squeaky and then carefully open the door a small crack and look into the next room before openning the door all the way.
Kukri in hand, she watches Tarin carefully, worried about traps.
A large wooden worktable sits i n the middle of
this room, its surface cluttered with scrolls, books,
stone tablets covered with dense, spiky runes,
and fragments of carvings that appear to have
been chipped off of statues or bas-reliefs. To the
north, a floor-to-ceiling set of wooden shelves
sags with picks, shovels, brushes, lanterns, and
other equipment one might expect to see at an
archaeological site.
There might be someone in there, there might not, since you only open the door a little bit. Heck their could be a slumbering dragon in the room for all you know.
Tarinhil steps away from the door and says, "I didn't see anything -- though there could be someone hiding behind the door." He smiles mischeviously and looks at the tall, muscled folk and says, "So now would be a good time burst in all brute-like."
Bear bursts through the door with a low growl, magical club at the ready!
Roll init! Anyone who hasn't when I get gone u will do
I follow through the door immediately after Bear.
[rolling]
YAY baddies go first.
The door bursts open and standing at the far end of the room is a human woman or rather 3 human women (mirror image) and in between her and Bear is a man sized automaton
The mechanical creature steps up to Bear and swings its arm but it only slams into the wall,
the woman casts a spell and a greenish ray fires from her hand and slams into Bear, he immediately feels his strength sapped
Bear make a fort save of 16. Make it and you take 4 str damage, fail and you take 8
Go heroes
He will then shift 5' diagonally if he can, otherwise he shifts to the west. He then attacks.
Who are you and why are you attacking us! Your not a Gobbo lover are ya?
I don't like being interrupted. Drop your weapons and we can talk
Bear slams the machine man
you cannot five foot step either way, difficult terrain with the table there do you want to make a move action or just hold position?
Unalaq moves past Aeron and into the room, then spins and slams his sword into the automaton. "Move past me Aeron and see if you can reach the woman."
for
Unalaq is slammed in the ribs, but he quickly heals himself for most of the damage and responds by nearly removing an arm
I nod to Unalaq and move towards the woman and swing my hammer at her.
high is good an image pops
Val rushes into the room and begins dodging through her companions, tumbling through the automaton to get into a better position.
"My blade will move fast enough to handle each of you!"
"LIKE that"
Valeria's blade scrapes along the wall and misses completely
Tarinhil readies an action, to hurl a bomb at the automaton when the sorceress begins casting her spell, mentally directing the explosion away from Valeria, Aéron and Bear.
for
so next time she casts a spell? and are you aiming at her or her square?
Ok you will have to be in the doorway to do so but np
Fernus will try to make the soreceress trip if she takes another hostile action, moving closer to do so.
"Who are you and what are you doing here!" He shouts as he touches the ground beneath him.
you charges into my study. Who are you and why are you doing this?
Draken buzzes around outside waiting to be useful
We are hear to defeat the bad guys, you look like one of them so we probably have nothing left to talk about!
If you are not a bad guy then drop your weapons and surrendar...cus we are the good guys! Right guys!...and girls sorry!
Bear rambles on.
right drop my defenses so you can murder me where I stand?
She does have a point you do have a habit if charging in and attacking...and if she is stuck in a dungeon of evil...
reflex save made
both casting defensively and damage concentration passed.
Fernus you are unable to cast Tremor at her, you can't see her from where you are.
the automaton attacks Bear
Bear is struck twice, and notices that the creature seems to be repairing itself
The woman cast a spell and Aeron needs to make me a Fort save.
Go Heroes
I have cat no spells that are harmful, the automaton attacks anyone who comes into the room, it is a way of keeping me trapped inside!
"You never gave me an answer Miss. Who are you that walks these rooms so easily while surrounded by goblins?"
Club attack:
Then why don't you help us kill this thing and we can get to the bottom of who is telling the truth!
If we were allied with the evil in here why would we be killing the thing that is keeping you here?
Bear sees if the tremor works then attacks it when prone.
