02-03 The Hall of Moradin

[Greebo]

Placeholder - very busy today - will update soon as I can.

[Sagar]

I hate busy placeholders. Not as bad as busy potholders, but very nearly.

[Greebo]

Shere eyes the doors to the Temple of Moradin carefully - but spots nothing out of the ordinary . The walls are solid, as are the doors, and they fit more tightly than the gates, so you cannot immediately tell if the doors are locked or not.

Shere then approaches the door and listens for sounds beyond, but hears very little through the thick wood. However...
You do hear what sound like faint incantations being chanted in a shrill voice. The incantations are made in a crude language. Roll intelligence.

[attriel]

What do you hear?

"Something is inside, chanting. Doesn't sound like the monks, however, so it's probably not call to morning prayer."

"Should I open it, or does someone else want the honors?"

[Asharad]

Lemme listen.

well, heck! MOaTLT go!

Gimme a perception roll too please - to see if you hear it before you translate it. :)

[Asharad]

perception!

[Greebo]

You hear it, you understand the language - it's Giant - and the speech is the sound of someone performing a ritual of consecration - or rather - desecration, by the sound of it.

[Asharad]

I'll share that information.

[Lycos]

I'll crack the door open enought to see inside.

Do you want a roll?

The dome of this massive chamber features a brilliant mural of dwarves fighting giants in what looks like the same mountains through which you have traveled. At the center of the room is a dais ringed with blood-spattered steps. Atop it stands a cracked anvil, clearly an altar, but now desecrated by dripping gore and smears of filth. A hideous orc crone dressed in tattered rags screeches when she sees you, hopping from one leg to the other in outrage.

[Greebo]

Some more notes on the map ... now that you can see more clearly that the door is open.

The dome of this massive chamber features a brilliant mural of dwarves fighting giants in what looks like the same mountains through which you have traveled. At the center of the room is a dais ringed with blood-spattered steps. Atop it stands a cracked anvil, clearly an altar, but now desecrated by dripping gore and smears of filth. A hideous orc crone dressed in tattered rags screeches when she sees you, hopping from one leg to the other in outrage.

The seating area is sunken - filled with pews. There are stairs down into it at the corners of the pews closest to you. In the sunken area, the terrain is difficult.

The ceiling is way high up - up to 140 feet at its peak. The room is illuminated by two blazing braziers on the dias with the witchy orc.

The area is littered with corpses - dwarvish corpses - especially around the Dias. Bodies and pools of blood are all over the floor between the doors and the dias.

The witchy orc is apparently in the process of desecrating the altar to Moradin.

[Greebo]

Jacoby enters the room, stopping at the border of the pit. He focuses his will on the witchy orc - but finds her will to be stronger than expected. She doesn't even notice his attempt to assault her mind. (12 vs. will; miss).

Out of nowhere seemingly, two heavy bolts fly at Jacoby. One misses, but the other slams into him (25 vs. AC), knocking him off balance while piercing his body (8 dmg).

Jacoby, save or be pushed into the sunken area. If you succeed, you'll fall prone.

[Sagar]

Did both bolts hit him on the same side? If so, which side?
Are they crossbow bolts or something larger - like from a ballista?

(perception, +1 just in case it's necessary)

[Asharad]

"There are archers on the balcony!"

Not sure how much else I want to move or due until we get a map.

Probably I want to hide!

We have a map:

[Greebo]

Map updated.

There are indeed 2 bowman on the balcony. These orcs are wielding belly-bows, which patch a HECK of a punch.

Raj - no perception roll needed. :)

[Asharad]

I'm going to delay until tor and urvi go. I'd like some meat between me and the archers. :)

[Lycos]

Are we able to move under the balcony?

[Greebo]

Are we able to move under the balcony?

Makes sense to me. Sure.

[attriel]

Greebo -- if Shere moves in and up the stairs on the left (H4 to G4 to F4), I think I wouldn't take an OA? Because of the stairs, and because he has a crossbow?

Before I move, I wanted to find out about that :o

[Greebo]

Ah, that question. Yes, the belly bow wielding orcs are using both hands to grip their weapons. They could conceivably club you with it, but otherwise have no melee weapons ready.

The stairs are not a consideration - moving from the top step (G4) to the landing (F4) offers ample reach for a melee wielder.

So you'll have to risk whether the orc might risk damaging his weapon to get a swing at you or not. :)

[attriel]

Shere will move through the doors and turn right, heading up the closest staircase and stepping up to the balcony (Move: F4), and quickly mutters an oath (Minor: Oath of Enmity, Crossbow 1) and summons the might of Sehanine to bind his blow (Standard: Bond of Retribution: +7 vs AC, 1d10+4 dmg, target takes 2 radiant if I'm attacked by any other enemy)

Should we have APs ? We had the fight in the hills, then the orcs in the courtyard for two, right?

Retribution +7: 27 Crit
Damge: 14
2 radiant if any other attacks me

[Sagar]

Raj will cast Sorcerous Sirocco (you and one ally move speed +2, can fly, must land by end of turn or fall) and lift himself and Urvi up to the orc on the east balcony. Urvi will land at O4 and Raj will land at Q6. From there, Raj will blast the orc with dragonfrost (d8+7, +6 vs Fort). How tall is the balcony railing? Can I push him over the edge?

Raj is apparently so excited by his first use of this new ability and visions of the orc plummeting to it's death that he forgets to cast the spell (natural 1).

[Greebo]

Yes sorry everyone has 1 AP, atty.

[Lycos]

Are we waiting on a player or witchy orc?

[Greebo]

I was waiting to see if Atty wanted to use his AP, since he asked. And since Raj flubbed, I

And Urvi is up before Shere.

[attriel]

Actually, since Raj is flying Urvi up to the archer, Shere's character would dictate that he defend the altar. So, if I can change my action, presuming Urvi is OK with the flying thing, I'd like to switch from running up the stairs and Bond of Retribution to running down the pews and Radiant Vengeance; And yes, I was planning to use my AP if I had one, but now I'll wait to find out which aciton I'm taking :o

[Kiir]

Urvi is fine with flying up, waiting to see where she ends up before posting though.

[Greebo]

Urvi is fine with flying up, waiting to see where she ends up before posting though.

Per Raj, you're at O4. I just haven't updated the map. Work is hectic.

[Kiir]

Urvi will mark crossbow orc2 (free action). She then attacks orc2 with Earthgrasp Strength (+7 vs AC, 1d12+4 damage, target is knocked prone and can't stand till EoNT (mine), When it does stand before the end of the encounter it takes 1d10+4 damage).

21 vs AC
14 damage

9 damage when it stands after the end of my next turn

You're after Urvi - whatever action you wish. :)

[Greebo]

Quick update:

Raj flies Urvi with him up to the balcony, and is so stoked about the flying thing, he forgets to look where he's shooting. His blast of cold passes directly by Urvi's nose.

Urvi, however, keeps her head, and swings her very sharp axe at the belly bow wielding orc (still not identified). The blow knocks the orc off his feet, and earthen power holds him in place (prone, can't stand EONT Urvi; 21 vs. ac hit - 14 dmg)

[attriel]

Shere, seeing Raj take Urvi up to one of the orcs, shifts to move towards the other staircase before stopping, and refocusing on the dais. "Sehanine will not allow this temple to be desecrated!" Screaming an oath (Minor: Oath of Enmity, Orc Hag), he moves determinedly down the walk (Move: J8) and blasts the hag with Radiant Vengeance (Standard: Radiant Vengeance: +6 vs Reflex, 1d8+5 radiant dmg, +4THP)

He follows up (AP) with another radiant blast (Standard: Radiant Vengeance)

Vengeance 1: N20, 26 vs R
Dmg: 13 Radiant
+4 THP

Vengeance 2: 19 vs R
Dmg: 11 Radiant
+4 THP (non stacking)

[Asharad]

Duma will move to f5 (under the balcony)and take a long range shot with Avenging light at the witchy orc.

Avenging Light (range 10/radiant):
+5 vs for (-2 for range?)=16 (or 14)
Damage:13

[Lycos]

Can the pews provide cover against these orcs at all?

[Greebo]

Atty: The doors are there for show - so you actually end up at J9 if that's ok.

Shere Advances into the temple, proclaiming his outrage at the horrendous act of desecration being finished. His righteous fury lashes into the witchy orc (still not identified) (crit; max dmg; retribution). He follows that attack with another blast of power, which slams into the orc again, bloodying her, badly.

Duma (actually at F5) takes a long range shot blasting light at the witchy orc which (14 vs. fort) manages to hit her as she staggers from the back to black blows from Shere. The burning light (13 dmg) is too much for her and she bursts into smoke and collapses. (DEAD).

You bastards...1 round, really??? Sheesh

But ... even as she falls, you hear sounds coming from the altar, and seemingly out of the floor near the altar emerge 7 more orcs. You recognize most of them as mere Drudges - but the last looks particularly tough...

The tough orc wields a glaive - and takes up position behind his drudges. They line up and glare at Shere, ready to charge.

Jacoby...

[Greebo]

Can the pews provide cover against these orcs at all?

From above? Only by going prone.

[attriel]

Shere's gloating grin falters. "Oh, shi..."

[Lycos]

Jacoby casts EyeBite onto Crossbow Orc 2

Eyebite - +6 (CHA) vs Will, Hit: 1d6 + Charisma modifier (+4) psychic damage, and you are invisible to the target until the start of your next turn. Increase damage to 2d6 + Charisma modifier (+4) at 21st level.

Crit! 4 extra points.

14 points of damage. Is there any other modifiers for using a wand?

It has: Critical: +1d8 damage, I'm not sure if that's the wand's charge or if cast through the wand?

When you hit a target with eyebite using this wand, you gain combat advantage against the target on your first attack next turn.

So, I have CA on it next turn.

[Sagar]

You get +1d8 for each + bonus of the wand. So roll your D8.

[Lycos]

Greebo. Modifications to my turn made to include this damage.

[Asharad]

One surprise after another!

[Greebo]

I had updated the wrong orc w/ Urvi's attack. It was cb 2 that she hit before.

Jacoby, seeing the rush of new enemies, feels a cold determination creep over him. There is no time, no feeling, no world - there is only him, and the orc on the balcony he turns to face. With a word of power, Jacoby's eyes flash with mystic energy - and the eyes of the crossbow orc flash as well, burning out of his skull. The orc crumples. (crit; dead).

The tough orc orders his troops to charge (delayed)

The drudges rush Shere (charge) as a wall. The two in the rear stand ready to replace the fallen. The drudges able to reach Shere with their clubs swing (9; 21; crit; 28 vs ac17) and Shere is pumelled soundly (15 dmg -4thp = 11).

The tough orc advances, swinging a vicious looking glaive in a skillful form. He joins the charge, and his weapon just breaks past Shere's guard (17 vs. ac17; 6 dmg). Despite the onslaught, Shere manages to stand his ground (NOT bloodied, damnit ;) )

Sorry busy weekend and Monday

If I want to shoot the bellybow orc (assuming it's still alive), does it have any cover from my current position (one balcony to the other)?

[Greebo]

If I want to shoot the bellybow orc (assuming it's still alive), does it have any cover from my current position (one balcony to the other)?

Yes - the balcony railing is solid, so he has partial cover. (-2)

And there are no published specs on the bow - so I'm going to classify it as Military Ranged - as a Sorcerer, Military Ranged is out of your scope, so you'd need to take a Weapon Proficiency feat to learn to use it.

[Sagar]

I'm not going to shoot the bow. I'll use my dragonfrost. (+6 vs Ref, d8+7 damage).

Crit: 15 damage.

I SO need to get a magic dagger.
But you know, as soon as I do, I'll never roll a crit again...

[attriel]

I've gotten lost at this point. Do we need a move from me? Or does XBow go before me still now? which round is raj rolling! aaaaah!!!

[Lycos]

Urvi made her move for last round. Crossbow Orc is next. Raj made his move.

After Crossbow Orc goes...

I believe we are back to Urvi, Shere, Duma, Jacoby...

[Greebo]

Yeah, you're waiting on me. Sorry, hectic at work today.

[Lycos]

Yeah, you're waiting on me. Sorry, hectic at work today.

No problemo. :D

[attriel]

Yeah, you're waiting on me. Sorry, hectic at work today.

No problem. I was just confused on whehn Raj was doing whatever he's doing. i thought we'd just been missing Urvi last round, she posted, then Raj posted, raj goes before urvi, but raj already went, was i supposed to turn left at albuerquerue?

[Greebo]

Yeah i've been playing loose with move order.

While the rest of you deal with the orcs on the lower level, Urvi moves to confront the last remaining orc. The orc (free) drops his bellybow, (minor) draws a battleaxe, and (standard) swings it at Urvi. (I put Urvi at F4 because G4 is kinda on the steps and the orc couldn't OA w/ his bow anyway). The swing is skilled, but not skilled enough (15 vs. AC).

Raj, from the far balcony, has ample time to focus his concentration and sends a blast of frost directly at the orc's head (CRIT; 15 dmg; bloodied). The orc's face freezes in pain, briefly.

10 vs reflex, NEXT!

[Greebo]

Updated my original post. Do I get to pull the orc down from the balcony on his head?

You can try but he gets a save, which if he makes, lets him fall prone instead.

I'll leave him then.

[Greebo]

Chicken :)

[Asharad]

I'll move to J6 and take a shot at the orc, I'll try avenging light

Range:10
Attack:+5 vs fort (-2 for partial cover)(+2 for motl)=15 vs fort
damage:1d10+4=6

[Greebo]

Waiting on Urvi.
Again.

[Kiir]

Sorry with the weather being nice now not online as much.


Mark orc (free) then attack with Strength of Stone (+7 vs AC, 1d12+4 damage, 4 temp hit points, standard)

[Lycos]

And after all that anticipation. A one. A ONE!

LOL

[Greebo]

Heh.

ok...nutshell:

Urvi: Marks and misses.
Shere: Misses
Duma: Wings him
Jacoby: FINISHES HIM, and the orc is pulled off the balcony onto his head. Splat!

Combat ends.

It's obvious that there is a trap door of some kind at or behind the altar, since that's where the extra orcs came from.

Anticipating your search, the tough orc wore chain, used a glaive and had a tattered cloak, the witchy orc used a bone rod (nothing special), the bolt thowers wore leather and had battle axes along with the belly bows, and the drudges wore hide and used clubs.

[Lycos]

Again, I think we'll take the battle axes with us on the way out if possible.

Should we move down through the trap door?

[Sagar]

Did you anticipate arcana checks or do we still need to do that?

Just in case, detecting magic on the stuff the orcs (especially the tough orc and the witch) had.

Arcana, +7+17 = 24.

I anticipate nothing that requires a roll. :)

And you sense no magic at all in the area.

[Lycos]

Jacoby moves to the trap door and looks down it to see what I can see and hear without actually going down yet.

20.

[Greebo]

The trap door opens to a spiral staircase with a solid wall encasing it. You cannot see how far down it goes. You do, however, hear sounds coming up the stairwell - sounds of rummaging and the like.

[Sagar]

Do we seen any other entrances to this room? The dwarves have to live somewhere and it seems odd they would all come up and down a trap door.

[Lycos]

Yeah, I'll try to covertly tell everyone that I think there are more orcs down here.

Using the skillz of Chuck, I will say, "Larry". ;)

No other exits at all.

The temple is octagonal. You've been around it on the outside. There is nowhere else to go.

And they *are* dwarves. They like to be underground.

Roll stealth.

-10 for being a smartass. :)

[Lycos]

Stealth check +3, 14.

4 if you're going to subtract the 10.

[Greebo]

Thanks. Ok - the party knows that you hear sounds from below that sound like rummaging.

Now what?

[Sagar]

Stealth chic, take a sneak peak into the trap door and tell us what you see.

How far down can she go before she can be seen?

What stealth chick? I've got the best in the party at 4

Shere will step up and slip silently down the stairs ahead of the party to identify ... what awaits!

Stealth 9
Perception 20

It's a safe bet the empire knows we're here ...

The pony tail threw him off for a second. He meant you. ;)

[Sagar]

Sorry.. wrong game again.

It's surprising difficult to keep the playing characters separate. I don't have that problem with the DM'd characters.

[Greebo]

Shere...

um...

Shere...

7UdaGgnNwNg


Minus the rickrolling at the end

[Greebo]

Judging from the duration of the clanging as Shere's canteen goes bouncing down the stone, spiral stairs (after it slips out of his hands), the stairs probably descend for about 20 squares.

[attriel]

"Well, I guess there's no point in waiting. Lets go!" And Shere leads the group down the stairs. Not racing down, since we don't know what's there and don't want to run into the battleaxe, but not sneaking either, since it's too late for that.

[Lycos]

Order:

Shere
Urvi
Raj
Duma
Jacoby

Yell if you don't like the lineup.

[Greebo]

the map for this next one is huge so ... tomorrow

[Sagar]

Lineup works for me.

[Greebo]

Lineup works for me.

what lycos posted for the party order; he was agreeing so that it was clear someone had read it and approved

for the record, I too am OK with it since I led into this dingy hole :o

[Greebo]

oh. duh. sorry.
