01:14 The Von Andrez-Kauthin Crypt

[Greebo]

I skipped 01:13 in order to bring the scenes in synch with the titles

Carved into the last three steps of the staircase are the words ?Von Adrez,? ?Kauthin,? and ?Crypt.? And once you climb high enough to see into the chamber at the top of the stairs, you see bas-relief images of humans laden with baskets, bags, and boxes?all depicted walking clockwise around the room.

Four hobgoblin guards stand in the middle of the room, and behind them are two spitting drakes.

[Greebo]

Round 1
The grunts, who you have seen before and recognize as basically cannon fodder, advance, forming up into ranks. (Rather foolhardily, too...). #1 and #4 line up in the rear while #2 and #3 advance upon Urvi directly. And yes, I can see you grinning, Raj!

#2 and #3 both swing at Urvi (9 vs. AC and a nat 1), and both miss, extraordinarily badly.

[Asharad]

I'll use blades of Astral fire centered on M7.

Attack:+4 vs reflex
so:
hg1:18
hg2:19
hg3:16
hg4:12
Damage:1d6+4 and Urvi gets +5 to her AC until EONT= 8 total damage

[Greebo]

Isn't BoAF burst 1?

[Greebo]

Yes, it is burst 1 - so Urvi can't get defenses from it.

[Greebo]

The grin that had been forming on Rajkelleran's face fades, as Duma beats him to the punch, dropping down blades of fire in the midst of the grunts, and all but 1 are destroyed instantly. (#4 12 vs. reflex miss).

The drakes move to get a clear shot, and both hock up nasty sounding globs of spit in unison, projecting a vile acid at Urvi. (24 & 1 vs. reflex). One globule of acid strikes Urvi, burning her (12 acid dmg) badly.

Everyone else...

[Kiir]

Urvi will move forward to M7 (move action). Call upon the Strength of Stone to help her as she swings against the grunt (standard action +6 vs AC 1d12+4 damage, +4 temp hit points). She will miss wildly and then mark the grunt (free action).

[Greebo]

Urvi does, indeed, miss wildly, as she marks the grunt.

[Asharad]

Duma looks over at Raj. He shrugs...and smiles.

[Greebo]

And the Deva scores 1 in the "dick" column! LOL

[Quervo]

Jacoby will move to O7, and use mockery on the grunt or drake 1 if grunt is dead.

12 vs Will, 7 damage, -2 to attack till EOmyNT

[attriel]

Shere will move to N7 (Move: P7-N7) and summon up his strength to connect the minds of the two beasts (Standard: Shared Madness: +5 vs Drake 1 Will, 1d10+5 psychic damage, same damage Drake 2)

Edit: Well, that's a 14 vs will, and 7 damage if their will is that low

[Sagar]

Raj used a surge last thread and should be at full HP:

Raj will use 1 surge, 7 pts + bard bonus.

ST:

[Sagar]

Raj gives Duma a little salute then tries to take out the remaining grunt and clear the way into the room.

Raj gestures with his dagger and sends a blast of frost at the grunt (+5 vs fort).
Damage, d8+7, push 3.

24 vs Fort on the grunt.
15 damage
The corpse is hurled back into the room.

Raj will move into the room (L10) and look for other (even hidden) enemies. (Percept, +1)

[Greebo]

Raj sends a blast of cold at the last grunt. It hits squarely (24 vs fort), and the corpse of the grunt flies backwards, dead before it hits the ground. He then moves in. (L10)

Shere advances, and attempts to link the minds of the drakes (14 vs. will) and just barely succeeds, and both drakes cry out in pain. (7 dmg).

Jacoby mocks Drake 1, but it's too busy screaming to notice.

The door to the south opens, and a goblin dressed in strange garb and wearing arcane symbols appears. She steps forward towards the drakes, and turns her gaze upon Raj (20 vs. Fort). Raj is blinded by some kind of hex that sears him with pain (7 dmg)

[Asharad]

I will move to L8. (move)

I will target the creepy goblin with Avenging Light. (standard)

Attack:+4 vs Fort= 16
Damage:1d10+4 = 7

Then I'll use an action point to do it again. (action point)
Darn. 7 has got to be a miss.

If it is only a minor action, I'll see if I recognize the symbols on the goblin to try and get a sense of it. (arcane +9) If I can't do that, it's okay.

Heh. a 10!

[Greebo]

Duma advances, targeting the creepy goblin which he isn't even sure is a goblin (which btw is a nature check, not aracana, but w/ a 1, oh well). He attacks with Avenging light, and (16 vs fort) hits once, but his second attempt is well off. (7 dmg)

The drakes follow the lead of their mistress, and target Raj. Two balls of spit fly at the dragonborn (17; 26 vs reflex; hit x 2) and sear him with pain (22 acid dmg) and the dragonborn is down. (dying; still blind)

Shere uses one surge, i think Jacoby is +4 so that's 11 HP recovered?

Hrrm, I just noticed my HP are missing; I shoudl b e at 27/28, as per the quoted post in the other thread ... I should have read the hp totals earlier, sorry, i just figured I had healed up, so I was full, no need to read it :o

Shere will move down to H11 (Move: N7-H11), cursing the thing that just entered (Minor: Oath of Enmity) and calls down Vengeance upon the unwashed! (Standard: Radiant Vengeance: +5 vs Reflex, 1d8+5 damage, +4THP)

[Greebo]

Its never a bad idea to double check my math.

[Sagar]

Save vs Death:

[Sagar]

Wow.. someone give me a bonus to save and I'll be up again :)

Or I can nap here quietly.

[Kiir]

Urvi will move to J8 (move action), She will then use her Stone's Endurance (minor +5 resist damage) and charge the creepy goblin (moving to F8, standard action, +1 to attack roll basic attack +6 (+7 with charge), 1d12+4 damage).

[Greebo]

Save vs Death:

Save vs. blind too, sorry, forgot the (SE)

[Greebo]

Urvi moves forward, wraps herself in protection woven from the bones of the earth itself, and then charges the creepy goblin. She stumbles slightly however (14 vs. AC) and misses with the attack.

Raj bleeds, but looks no worse - but the blindness affecting him wears off, not that anyone actually can tell, especially not him.

[Quervo]

Move Jacoby to K7
Standard - Eldritch Blast vs Goblin

15 vs Ref, 9 damage

(Sorry Raj, I think it best to hold the words for the tanks just now... I dont want her retargeting you with her lizards and droping you below dead because you started with low HP's)

[Greebo]

Shere moves into the room, calling his oath against the weird looking goblin (btw guys, remember, knowledge checks are free actions), and summoning vengeance upon the enemy. The enemy, however, somehow deflects the attack to one of the drakes (#2). The attack still hits (19 vs ref; 6 dmg) and shere gains extra protection, but the weird goblin is no more harmed than before.

Jacoby also moves into the room, and launches an attack at the Goblin. Again, she deflects it onto the drake, and this time (16 vs. ref) the attack misses.

New round

The creepy goblin shifts away from Urvi, makes a complicated hand gesture, and (19 vs fort) a strange sensation comes over Urvi. She knows that if she moves at all, she will suffer greatly for it.

Duma

[Asharad]

Interesting.

I'll use preservers rebuke (+7 temp hitpoints to Urvi and +4 to my attack roll)

I'll move to k10 and hit the goblin with avenging light.

Attack:
+4 vs fort= 16
damage:1d10+4= 11

I'll also do a nature check on the goblin.

[Greebo]

You know THP do not stack, yes, so Urvi will end up with 7 THP not 11. Just in case you want to pick a different THP target

[Asharad]

That's okay. The temp hit points are just a bonus, I really wanted the to hit bonus. If I change who gets them I have to change my target. We're good!

[Greebo]

Very well then.

Duma rebukes the goblin, aiding Urvi (7 thp overrides 4thp), and himself (+4 next attack). He then advances, covering Raj, while sending avenging light at the Goblin, who has nobody next to her to deflect the attack to, and so (16 vs. fort) is hit badly (11 dmg).

Duma recognizes the Goblin as a Goblin Hexer - but can determine nothing else.

Both drakes shift away from Urvi, and then spit at her (24; 21 vs. fort). Globules of acid slam into her (7 acid + 6 acid = 13 acid - 7 THP = 6 acid; bloodied).

Shere moves in towards the goblin, closing the last distance against his hated foe (Move: H11-G12-F12-E12-D11; avoiding that OA), and brings his flail into her skull (Standard: Bond of Retribution: +6 vs AC, 1d10+4 dmg, 2dmg if someone else attacks me)

Edit: OK, seriously? the dice roller may be broken ... ? because seriously?

Urvi delays until after Jacoby goes to see what the rest of the party is doing and decide what she is doing.

What are the odds of that? Something like 1 in 8000?

[Sagar]

I'll bleed on my own, thankyouverymuch.

Save vs Death: +10 (I wish :p)

[Sagar]

Oh, and my earlier comment. A DC 10 heal check gives +2 to a ST. So if someone had used the healing skill with a half-way decent roll, I would be up and shooting away.

We need to remember to use our skills. :)

[Greebo]

Urvi looks better as a giant eraser changes some numbers around...She also delays her action...

Raj bleeds, and looks worse for wear (Fails: 1)

Shere deftly maneuvers around the Goblin, taking a position to the south. Sadly, that's about all that works as planned, as fate conspires to ruin Shere's day.

Jacoby sends healing music to Raj, who feels MUCH better now (+10 hps; prone) He then sends a confusing blast of energy at the drake which hits it perfectly (crit; max dmg: 13; bloodied). The drake glares at Duma.

Duma...

[Asharad]

I'll delay until Raj goes.

[attriel]

Kiir is out of town, so I'll run her when she can't get on. In this case:

She'd presumably roll at the beginning of the turn for Font of Life ; if that succeeded, she'd move and attack ... First, rolling font of life

OK, I think a 13 saves against the hex, in which case

Urvi moves to E9 (Move: F8-E9) and uses Strength of Stone to assault the spitter (Standard: Strength of Stone: +6 vs AC, 1d12+4 damage, +4THP) and marks Spitter 2 and the Hexer (Free: Mark)

If we're going with the confusion that was her turn, she rolled the 13 save at the end and is in full defensive where she stands; otherwise, 14 vs AC, 6 damage

[Asharad]

She needs to roll a st as well.

[attriel]

She needs to roll a st as well.
Font of Life is the savings throw

[Asharad]

gotcha!

[Greebo]

The Font of Life is successful, and Urvi shakes off the hexer's hex, so she moved next to the wall (E9) but her attack on the spitter (14 vs. AC) is unsuccessful. She also marks the Hexer and Spitter.

[Greebo]

Duma delays, so the drakes move. Drake 2 slips out of Urvi's reach (slide 1 N), and fires another globule of acid at her (10 vs. Ref), while the other Drake spits at Jacoby (11 vs. ref). Both miss.

Raj

[attriel]

Presuming Raj and Duma don't change the landscape dramatically:

Shere shifts to E11 (Move: Shift) and brings his flail around at the hexer again (Standard: Bond of Retribution: +6 vs AC, 1d10+4 damage, 2 radiant if someone else hits me; I have CA now against the hexer for +2 to attack)

Edit: 14 vs AC, but if I hit it was 14 damage :o

[Sagar]

Raj will stand (move). He'll nod thanks to Duma for leaving AoE room open, but I am too wounded to move up to the drakes at the moment.

Raj charges his magic with dragonborn fury (+1 to hit while bloodied) and fired dragonfrost at drake 2. (+6 to hit, d8+7 damage, push 1)

Then Raj burns an AP to catch his Second Wind (+7 hp, +2 to all defenses).

22 vs Fort to hit,
15 damage, push 1 (to C7)

[Asharad]

Duma, seeing Raj pop up, will move to H10.

He'll then target SD2 with avenging light.

Attack:+4 vs fort
damage:1d10+4

[Greebo]

Raj stands, and sends a blast of cold at the second drake (22 vs. fort), which is frozen solid, flies back against the door, and shatters. (Dead). He then gathers his strength and defends himself. (AP; Second wind)

[Asharad]

Hm. My target is dead. Do I attack something else and disregard my crappy roll, or just assume whatever I was going to attack go the benefit of said crappy roll?

[Greebo]

Does it matter? :)

[Greebo]

Duma, in the spirit of the 101st Airborne, Fires and Maneuvers. Not in the spirit of the 101st, however, (crap vs fort) his firing misses.

Shere emulates Duma, but does so far more impressively, beating the odds of the "same roll on a d20 twice" TWICE. (14 vs. AC). The DM should give you a bonus for that just cause, but he doesn't. The big jerk.

Jacoby and Urvi?

[Quervo]

Jacoby will move to K12, and use Misdirected Mark on the Hexor

14 vs Fort, 10 damage, marked by duma

[attriel]

Urvi grins at the hexer, and brings her weapon down on it's sorry little skull (Standard: Weight of Earth: +6 vs AC +2 for CA, 1d12+4, Slowed EoNT). Drawing on the divine guidance through Shere (Immediate Interrupt: Attack against Enmity Target can take a second roll and use choice), she (hopefully) connects (18 vs AC) and crushes the bug (12 damage)

[Greebo]

Jacoby moves to the south, and sends another misdirection at the Hexor, which (14 vs fort) just hits her (10 dmg: mark-> duma; bloodied)/

Urvi slams her weapon into the Hexor (18 vs. AC) with weight of the earth, slashing it badly (not crushing, its an axe :P). The hexor looks unsteady on her feet, but is still standing.

New round

The hexor shifts to the north east, and then risks all by using a ranged spell. Urvi takes the opportunity to attack...

[Greebo]

.. and misses. A cloud of gasses radiate out from just north of her (burst 3), and she and the spitter are much harder to see (concealment).

The spitter targets Urvi, and a glob of acid (22 vs. Reflex) lands on her, burning her (12 dmg - 4thp = 8 dmg; bloodied)

[Greebo]

The concealment makes it hard to see the hexer, so the -2 from that negates the +2 CA.

Raj will move to I9 then, with a wave of his dagger, send a burning spray at the hexxor (centered at G8). (BS - +5 vs Ref, close blast 3, no concealment bonus, 1d8+7 damage). 3 damage to first one that makes a melee hit on me until EoNT.

12 vs Ref, 9 damage if hit.

[Greebo]

Duma, to gain combat advantage you would need to be at G9. Also, IIRC, Quarterstaff is only a reach 1 weapon, so same issue. So--did you mean G9?

And either way, Raj, you are aware that you're including Duma in your blast?

Raj fires a blast of fire into the shadowy region, but the Goblin (12 vs. ref) dodges.

Tor, muttering and wondering what he's done to offend Sehanine, steps forward (Move: E11-E10) and brings his flail around, hoping that he might at least hit something in the murk (Standard: Bond of Retribution: +6 -2 vs AC, 1d10+4, 2 Radiant if something attacks me)

22 vs AC
11 dmg

[attriel]

Holding Urvi until I see what the landscape looks like; 99% that the hexer is dead, but just to be safe

[Greebo]

Shere must be blessed by Sehanine, as he moves forward, and skillfully swings his flail at the hexer (22 vs. AC; hit) which connects (11 dmg) crushing its skull. (Dead)

Jacoby, having no more target, turns to the spitting drake instead. He fires a confusing attack (22-2=20 vs. ref) which hits (6 dmg) despite the concealment and bad math (17+5=22), and the drake is marked by Raj.

The darkness will last until the end of what would have been the Hexer's next turn.

[Sagar]

When the darkness fails, Raj takes aim and fires dragonfrost at drake 2. (+5 to hit, d8+7 damage, push 1).

[Asharad]

Duma will wait till the darkness falls (if neccessary) and hit the drake with avenging light.

Attack:+4 vs fort = 18
damage:1d10+4 = 13

Edit: I will use MOTL to add 1d6 to my attack. That one looks like it is close to the bubble.

[attriel]

Urvi steps to the last drake (Move: E9-E7) and brings her axe down on it (Standard: Strength of Stone: +6-2 vs AC, 1d12+4 dmg, +4THP)

edit:
22 vs AC
7 dmg
+4THP

And I think Urvi healed some amount from Quervo's word ...
+12 HP

[Greebo]

So she did. I didn't see numbers and it kind of blended into the signature for me...sorry about that.

Also I forgot to reset Jacoby's heals before this fight - but that's 2 so now the 0 is correct.

[attriel]

OK, so Urvi goes, then hexer's darkness, then drake, raj, duma have posted, so shere is up

Shere curses some more about the darkness, thanks Sehanine for guiding his aim, casts an oath at the remaining drake (Minor: Oath of Enmity) and moves closer to it (Move: E10-D7).

He then brings his flail around at the foul beast (Standard: Bond of Retribution: +6 vs AC, 1d10+4 dmg, 2 radiant if someone appears and attacks me)

Edit:
16 vs AC
6 dmg

[attriel]

Everyone's posted up, so here's Urvi's action for next round, assuming the drake still lives (holy hell!)

Urvi's axe comes down on the foul beast again (Standard: Strength of Stone: +6 vs AC, 1d12+4 dmg, +4 THP)

[Greebo]

Urvi steps forward to the sole remaining enemy. She shoots, she scores (22 vs AC), and the drake hisses in pain (7 dmg; bloodied; 4thp to urvi).

The darkness fades

The drake is enraged with pain. It steps back and spits at Urvi (12 vs. Ref; hit) and Urvi is burned by acid (14 hps - 4 thp = 10 dmg).

Raj sends a blast of cold at the drake (12 vs fort) but the drake is unaffected.

Duma sends avenging light at the drake, and his attack, which would have missed, manages to hit as Duma draws upon some ancient memory. (13 dmg)

Shere steps in to engage the drake (changed position due to drake movement) and swings his flail as he utters an oath, but his attack (16 vs. AC) barely misses.

Jacoby, Urvi

[attriel]

Shere steps in to engage the drake (changed position due to drake movement) and swings his flail as he utters an oath, but his attack (16 vs. AC) barely misses.


Why 16? Where'd I get a -2?

[Greebo]

Why 16? Where'd I get a -2?

Edit:
16 vs AC
6 dmg
You suck at math?

[Greebo]

The DM realizes that Shere was on drugs, and that it was actually 18 vs. AC. The drake finds itself retroactively bludgeoned by a flail hit to the head (6 dmg; dead).

End of encounter

[Shiz]

Shere imagined the mist was still there.

[attriel]

You suck at math?

Oh. well then ok

[Greebo]

As the sounds of combat die down, you start to hear what sounds like a woman crying, coming from the southern door.

[Greebo]

At this point you have time to take a short rest. Everyone gains 1 action point.

[Sagar]

Raj will surge 1 time to regain 7 HP.

Shall we check the south door while resting or after resting?

[Greebo]

Don't forget Jacoby gives +4 to each surge's healing when resting.

[attriel]

Urvi will use one surge (8+4)

[attriel]

Shere will move to the southern door, listening quickly for sounds of what might be in the room

Urvi will move to the southern door and open it.

[Greebo]

Look at the map and reconsider that...

The door is already open. Looking through it, you can see coffins, and someone chained to a wall, but it's dark - you'll need to go in to see more clearly.

Who's going in?

[Quervo]

Jacoby will take a look around with his enhanced Lowlight vision.... Perception +8

18 perception...

He is not entering the room just looking from the outside

[Asharad]

Duma says he remembers hearing a story once of a mage who would cast light on copper coins and use them to illuminate dark areas. He suggests Raj do the same.

[Sagar]

Raj tells Duma a story about a sorcerer who tried to cast a mage's light spell on a coin and ended up setting fire to the 4 people nearest him.

[Asharad]

Duma reflects quietly that the mage in the story he heard must have been better at magic than Raj.

[Greebo]

Jacoby, you can make out the figure of a woman shackled to the southern wall. Even as you look at her, through her increasingly hysterical sobbing, she sees you, and cries out, "Please! Help me! Please save me!"

[Sagar]

This just smells like a trap.

I'll ask our rescuee's if any of them know this woman.

[Greebo]

All of them, even the sickly Mirtala, nod, and confirm this is Jalissa, she was captured with them. She did nothing but cry and scream the whole way back, much to the delight of their captors.

[attriel]

Shere decides it's time to get the captive out, and enters the room to start unchaining her (? untying)

"We've got to help her. That goblin left the door open, I think if anyone else was in there they'd've come out to finish us off all at once."

[Greebo]

Unchaining. She's chained to the walls. You could try to break the chain heroically (strength check) or disable the lock (thievery). Or maybe look for a key.

[attriel]

Unchaining. She's chained to the walls. You could try to break the chain heroically (strength check) or disable the lock (thievery). Or maybe look for a key.

Shere pats the girl's shoulder, "We're getting you out, soon as we get these chains off. I'm going to see if the goblin that ran out has the key on him, since I can't see much other than at the door."

Shere then returns to search the goblin's corpse.

He'll grab the torch from Jacoby on his way back into the room or are there wall-sconces or firepits or something? how did we see in this big room anyway?


I think Jacoby had the torch? on account of him not attacking and stuff

edit: 17 for finding the key

[Asharad]

I'll look around the room, generally.

[Greebo]

The room in which you had the fight is illuminated by braziers in the north and south east corners of the room. The room containing Jalissa is dark.

The hexer (she) does, in fact, have a key on the remains, as well as leather robes and a hexer rod (non special).

And you're using sunrods, I thought, not torches.

[attriel]

Shere takes the sunrod from Jacoby and the key, and returns to the room to unlock Jalissa.

[Quervo]

if that fails Jacoby will try to pick the locks +8 thievery

19 vs the locks

[Greebo]

The key does fit, and Jalissa is quickly freed. As soon as Tor Shere enters the room, Jalissa apparently forgets all about having seen Jacobi, and once she's freed, clings to Shere, crying hysterically, and thanking him for freeing her.

She's clearly quite distraught.

[Asharad]

Okay, so there were seven hostage and we have found five of them.

If the group would like, I could perform the hand of fate ritual (take me about ten minutes) to determine which way we should go to find the next hostages.

Edit: Although we may want to open these doors first and make sure the hostages aren't sitting right behind them.

[attriel]

'Do you have any idea why the goblin had you chained in there?'

[Greebo]

"*sniffle* I don't know! It was horrible! Thank you, thank you for saving me! That thing was so awful!"

[attriel]

"Please, stand here with Andronsius and the others while we check to make sure there is nothing lurking behind these doors. We must continue to seek the foulness that has tainted your town and cleanse it from the world. Sehanine shine upon you, girl, you will be safe now."

He passes her to Adronsius and Mirtala to comfort, figuring the strong blacksmith and the older lady would likely help her regain her composure.

'Sertanian, were you ever brought this way?'

[Asharad]

I'll ask the new girl if she saw any of her fellow captives.

[Greebo]

Reluctantly, Jalissa allows herself to be passed on to the others. She complies, but her eyes watch Shere, as if seeking his approval.

Sertanian answers, "No, don't think so. I can't be sure though, we were moved around blindfolded. "

Adronsius also pipes in, "Aye, ye found her - I know I've been no further than this, sonny."

Jalissa, eyes locked on Shere, recovers her composure enough to say, "I know the boy is near by - I could hear him crying sometimes. I don't know exactly where, but he's close."

[attriel]

'Thank you, Jalissa. We must hurry, then.'

Shere will quickly search the room Jalissa was chained in, to see what the goblin may have left in there when she ran out to attack us.

[Greebo]

There are three low sarcophagi in the room, set into the floor so that they only come up about 6 inches or so above ground level. Aside from that and the chains, the room is pretty empty.

The reliefs in the previous room - where you actually fought - depict what appear to be merchant operations. Presumably some sort of honorific to those buried here.

[Asharad]

History check, just for fun.

(Hey, I like history, okay!)

[attriel]

"Awfully short sarcophogi, but since there's nothing in here, shall we next look at the ... western door? Or the northern door perhaps, as it may lead to another small room such as this one that we can readily check for dangers behind us before moving on?" Shere nods at Andronsius, since it was his advice to back-clear.

[Greebo]

History check, just for fun.

(Hey, I like history, okay!)

The Von Adrez-Kauthin family, depicted in the carvings, was once, long ago, quite prominent in this region. Apparently they, too, had a dark and hidden secret.

[Greebo]

And then our heroes...

[Asharad]

Duma suggests our bruisers open the northern door.

[Sagar]

Do we want to look in any of the sarcof's?

[Asharad]

I am okay with that. ON one hand, it is disturbing the dead. ON the other hand these were not very nice people.

[Greebo]

The lids of the sarcophagi are heavy. Strength check to open.

[Sagar]

Let's move the victims out of here in case something nasty springs out.

[Sagar]

When the townsfolk are out of the room, Raj will attempt to open the westmost sarcoph. (+4 str)

DAMN! I think I broke a nail!

[Greebo]

You shuffle the townsfolk back out of the room, and they don't argue in the slightest. Raj then attempts to lift up the lit of the sarcophagus, but instead he almost pulls his back muscles out.

[Asharad]

Let me see what I can do. I have no strength modifier.

[Greebo]

Duma heaves on the sarcophagus, but he isn't quite strong enough to lift it.

[Quervo]

leave it be i guess... we can always come back and ransack the place after we get these people home. Besided do we really want a 2ton rock falling on the ground to anounce where we are...

Who is still missing?

do any of the townsfolk have any other leads beside that one of them was close by?

there were 2 other exit from the last room... one west and one north...

[Greebo]

Don't forget that you guys can do assisted checks.
Roll a strength check and beat a 10 to give someone else in the party a +2, for a max bonus of +8.

[Greebo]

Who is still missing?
A young boy, Thurann, son of the Guard Captain (dead), and an old woman, Zerriksa, considered a witch by the locals.

do any of the townsfolk have any other leads beside that one of them was close by?

No

[Asharad]

Someone open the rnorth door. If there isn't a captive there we can head west. If we dont find a captive relatively soon after that, I'll cast hand of fate and ask it where we should go.

[attriel]

Urvi and Shere lead the way to the North doorway. Shere opens the door, and sees ...

[Greebo]

Urvi and Shere lead the way to the North doorway. Shere opens the door, and sees ...

A hallway, leading north. It passes through a 4 way intersection, and then goes down some stairs.

Just passing out of sight down the stairs you see the back of four figures, moving...or lurching...along slowly.

[Quervo]

ummm how about door number 2.....

[Greebo]

How about it?

[Quervo]

ok we have something lumbering around behind door number 1... do we find out what it is??? quietly close the door and check door number 2?

I dont think I need to really remind anyone but we are almost running on empty... we just about exausted ourselves for the time being and we need a rest.

(Tor is down to 2 surges, and the only person over 4 left is Duma but him and Raj are not looking to good at the moment. we have "found" 5 of the 7, we are missing a kid and old lady... Do we push on and hope we can get them all out in one shot? Or should we try and save who we have. either way we will need to make a camp on the way back just to make sure we can make it back.)

[Asharad]

The child is close, either in the room to the west or being shuffled off from the north.

We should check west and then head north.

[Sagar]

We still have 2 surges left. That is good for one fight. No need to leave with gas still in the tank.

[Greebo]

Define checking west - peek through the door? What?

[Asharad]

Yeah, let's have out bruiser open the door and we'll look in.

[Greebo]

Ok - Urvi opens the door a hair, and then wide. Beyond the door is a 10' wide hallway which heads west a ways, then goes up a long flight of stairs, and evidently continues on to the west from there.

[Sagar]

We have one good fight left in us.. two if we are lucky.

Let's check west and avoid the shambler's for now.

[attriel]

We have one good fight left in us.. two if we are lucky.

Let's check west and avoid the shambler's for now.

"I'm not sure that I can condone leaving the undead to possibly take a child to their death ... I think we should pursue the threat we can identify. Who is to say that through the west door does not lay an army in wait? We're in no condition for that, so we must pick the battles we can fight. We know what this fight entails."

[Sagar]

We THINK we know what this entails and we don't know the child is north but I'm ok with going north if you want to go that way.

[Greebo]

You travel west out the door and up the stairs. Beyond the stairs, the hallway turns diagonally northwest, and then opens up into an oddly shaped room.

Thin menhirs are scattered across the floor of this "triangular room". A passageway leads north, then turns west—and something beyond that turn is casting light.

Map notes: The north doors are open - the symbols just represent the doorway. Beyond the doors is a hallway that turns to the west.

The columns are the menhirs.

The map diagonal is like it is because the correct tile isn't working - sorry, I know its weird looking.

[Greebo]

Oops - I can redact that if you like.

[Sagar]

This is fine.

Raj will try to detect if anything in the area is magical. (+6 arcana)

26 total for detect magic.

[attriel]

Shere will do a quick sweep of the room to look for someone hiding behind these plinths to attack us

Then a more thorough search of the room to look for anything of note about the plinths, walls, etc

[Greebo]

The menhirs radiate a magical field. Looking at them more closely you can tell that they are intensely cold - magically so - enough so that you don't want to be too close to them. (Starting turn in the same square as a menhir, or standing there out of combat - will cause you damage each round)

Well, in that case, Shere investigates them from arms-length to stay out of the evilfield :o

I figured you would. You do not see anyone in the room.

Please identify where you wish your characters to be standing in the map, taking into account about 2 minutes of examining the room.

This means everyone, please - give me map coordinates of where you want to be on the map.

[Asharad]

I'll move to a4.

[attriel]

Shere would probably have ended in D6 after searching around assuming the evil-field is in-square and not burst 1 from each rock ...

[Kiir]

Urvi is in square E2, assuming the field from the pillars is only in the square with them.

Jacoby waited back with the Hostages... erm rescuees. so I12 waiting for an all clear or a shoot something damnit

Is the map server back up? I can't get to it. (but that could be our new security software)

[Sagar]

I'm thinking we go to the NW corner - A1, A2, A3 so any attackers have to be in the cold.

Hmm.. do they need to be IN the menhir square or adjacent to it?

[attriel]

I'm thinking we go to the NW corner - A1, A2, A3 so any attackers have to be in the cold.

Hmm.. do they need to be IN the menhir square or adjacent to it?

we]ve beej assuming in, snce adjacent includes pretty much teh entire room.

it's also worth noting hat anything using this as an ambush is likely to WANT to be near the menhirs ...

[Greebo]

In the square only, not adjacent, causes damage.

[Greebo]

I put Raj in the NW corner.
