02-04a Hall of Heroes

[Greebo]

You descend the spiral stairs. Jacoby decends last, Shere taking point, trying not to notice the angry glares from the rest of the party over his "canteen incident".

After a long, LONG descent around the spiral stairs - easily 100 feet down (20 squares), Shere reaches the end, followed closely by Urvi, the rest of you following but still on the stairs.

http://www.primeaxiom.com/rpgt/scene.asp?ID=1qmdteticeoqmpc9oubknlb3pssdvmh4du12w ieaktvljfvmjhpc4njwhswm8565

Shere and Urvi sound physically repulsed by what they see. The rest of ou will be too when you see it. The carnage in this grand hall is obscene. Dead dwarves, some still in their nightclothes, litter the floor, blood painting the gray stone tiles, walls, and columns. In the light cast by burning braziers, you see the butchers: more orcs.

DM Note: Basically you just lost the element of surprise, that's all. ;)

You see 6 more drudges, 3 militant looking orcs of an unusual type, and one orc, near the back, who looks angry enough to foam at the mouth!

Nature to identify the militant and angry orcs (2 rolls).

Initiative!

[attriel]

Initiative!

Initiative 16
Militant Orcs: Nature: 8
Angry Orc: Nature: 22

[Lycos]

Initiative +2 = 7

Nature Rolls
Militant: +4 = 7
Angry: +4 = 15

[Greebo]

Nobody recognizes the militant looking orcs yet but Shere recognizes the Angry Orc as an Orc Berserker. Wicked with a great axe and able to charge for extra distance, Berserkers are known mainly for throwing themselves into the fight with reckless, and often short lived, abandon.

[Asharad]

Iniative: 15
Nature for militant orcs: 14

[Greebo]

Duma - 15+1=? ;)

[Sagar]

Raj - Nature +1 (8 nature for militant orc)
Init +1 (15 total)

[Asharad]

Duma - 15+1=? ;)


15+1=Penguin?

[Greebo]

15+1=Penguin?

Hey, fine - 15+1 = 15... your init is 15 then. I gave you a chance. ;)

[Kiir]

Init +2, Nature +10 militant orcs

Well I guess a 15 is the best roll for militant orcs
init of 9

[Greebo]

Urvi has heard of these orcs before. They are Orog Militants. However, beyond that, she knows nothing of them.

While they were alerted to someone coming by the falling clatter of Shere's canteen, they howl in anger at seeing you. Clearly they expected their Orcish companions. They do not, however, lose any time in preparing an assault.

The Orog's begin immediately moving towards each other in the center of the room. (Double move)x

Shere...

Map notes:
There are very very steep stairs each lead up into little adjoining rooms. You can see from your vantage that the rooms are basically monastic cells - sleeping quarters for the priests.

The large black squares are massive 10' diameter columns that stretch up 100 feet to support the ceiling high above.

The center area is a massive statue of a dwarf warrior battling a hydra. The statue is nearly as tall as the ceiling. It is surrounded by a raised dias.

Braziers light the hall from the four corners of the room. The further corners are off the map but visible beyond the 6th and last pair of massive columns. Beyond those last columns are statues of dwarves, but you can't make out much detail from here.

All over the room are bodies of dead dwarves, dressed only in priestly robes and sleeping garments. They were clearly taken by surprise. No life is here save that of the orcs.

[Sagar]

Raj will move down to the stairs and into the room a bit (H16).

From there, he will use Tempest Breathe (+6 vs Ref, close blast 3, 2d6+7 damage, Raj gains concealment). Centered on I14. Trying to hit the 3 militant orcs.

Orc 1: 16 vs Ref
Orc 2: 24 vs Ref
Orc 3: 24 vs Ref

15 damage on hit
Can gain no CA until EoT2 for hit orcs

Raj gains concealment.

From concealment, Raj (AP used) casts a fan of flame at the same orcs (Burning spray: CB3, +6 vs Ref, d8+7 damage, I gain fire shield - 3 fire damage to first melee hit on me until EoNT)

Orc 1: 11 vs Ref
Orc 2: 17 vs Ref
Orc 3: 11 vs Ref

8 damage on hit

[Asharad]

If I have line of sight I will stay put. If I don't, I will move to k17

[attriel]

"Die you foul beasts, for the defiling of this temple and these supplicants. Die, and tell your foul god that he will not be tolerated in the lands of decency! DIE!" (Minor: Oath of Enmity, Orog 1)

Leaving room for his allies, Shere calls upon Sehanine to mete vengeance upon the orcs advancing (Standard: Radiant Vengeance: Orog 1: +6 vs Reflex, 1d8+5 radiant damage, +4THP)

20 vs Reflex
7 Radiant Dmg
+4THP

[Greebo]

Shere mumbles something incoherent (oath) and sends his divine power at the first Orog (20 vs. ref; hit). The holy light burns! It burns! (7 dmg; 4thp)

Raj attempts to use his daily...and then realizes that he already used it.
http://www.legendsofwestwood.org/forum/showthread.php?p=273271&highlight=%22lightning+breath%22#post273271 - you have not rested since
Change action. Keep the 10.

Duma moves to a position where he can see, and sends more holy power at the Orogs. The first one ducks in time, but the other two are smacked in the face by the flying Hand of ... Good. (7;24;21 vs. ref; miss,hit,hit; 8dmg)

[Sagar]

Bummer. I had the other lightning spell listed as used but not that one. My apologies.

Make it tempest breath instead. +6 vs Ref, 2d6+7. I gain concealment until EoNT. Hit targets can't get CA until EoMNT.

I'll put this result in my other move.

Your update has me more confused than ever...

[Sagar]

I changed my daily to an encounter power with the same area of affect so I kept the attack rolls and rolled the appropriate damage in the apology post.

I also burned an AP to use an at-will AoE. Rolls and damage were added to that post when I realized I could do that while editing.

[Greebo]

But the text of your post still refers to your used daily, and the damage is based on the wrong die roll.

[Greebo]

OH I see - I think the combat card on your char sheet is wrong.

It says 2d6+4 above but then 2d6+7 below.

[Sagar]

As a dragonborn, I get an extra bonus to some kinds of damage. The bottom damages are right. The upper ones are not. It's confusing, I know, but I didn't write the software.

[Sagar]

Oh, and I fixed the original post. It should all be right now. I hope.

[Greebo]

Our internet is REALLY unstable today - so I've resolved Raj's actions. Duma's attack bloodied Orog 2.

I'm not even going to TRY map updates with the internet as unreliable as it is - that plus our webwasher interference is just too much to tolerate.

Sorry.

[Sagar]

I have to read and update maps using my cell phone now. It's painful, at best.

[attriel]

For clarity -- We're looking for Berzerker, then Urvi and Jacoby

Anyone know what got the map site blockaded? I don't have any problems, but then they let me get to the damnedest things here

[Greebo]

Primeaxiom is considered a gaming site.

[Greebo]

The berserker moves to G7, then charges Raj. (Orc, speed +2 when charging). He swings his greataxe at the sorcerer in a wide arc that (14 vs. ac) Raj easily sidesteps.

http://www.primeaxiom.com/rpgt/scene.asp?ID=1qmdteticeoqmpc9oubknlb3pssdvmh4du12w ieaktvljfvmjhpc4njwhswm8565

(Internet finally stablized)

[Greebo]

Urvi, Jacoby...

[Lycos]

Jacoby moves to J17.

Altered Std Attack:

Cast Majestic Word on Urvi. Urvi gains a surge + 4 hp. No sliding necessary.

Majestic Word
You utter words laden with preternatural inspiration, restoring your ally's stamina and making wounds seem insignificant.
Encounter (Special) ✦ Arcane, Healing
Minor Action Close burst 5 (10 at 11th level, 15 at 21st level)
Target: You or one ally in burst
Effect: The target can spend a healing surge and regain +4 additional hit points. You also slide the target 1 square.

[Kiir]

Urvi moves to I14 (J17, J16, J15, I14, move action). She then marks the three militant orcs and the angry one (free action). She then calls on Stone's Endurance (resist 5 damage until the EoNT, minor). Calling upon the Roots of Stone she lashes out at militant 1, 2, 3 and the angry orc (close burst 1, +7 vs AC, 1d12+4 damage and the target is knocked prone and takes 4 damage when it leaves the zone, the burst creates a zone of rippling earth that lasts until the EoNT, standard action). Urvi then uses her AP and calls upon Earthgrasp Strike vs the angry orc (+7 vs AC, 1d12+4 damage, the target is knocked prone and can't stand till the EoNT, the first time it stands before the end of the encounter it takes 1d10+4 damage, standard (AP))

mil 1: 4 + 7 = 11 vs AC
mil 2: 11 + 7 = 18 vs AC
mil 3: 14 + 7 = 21 vs AC
angry orc: 5 + 7 = 12 vs AC

10 damage probably against militant orc 3 and possibly against militant orc 2

Earthgrasp strike Angry orc: 15 + 7 = 22 vs AC
damage: 12 + 4 = 16
knocked prone can't stand till the end of my next turn
when he stands he takes 10 + 4 = 14 damage

[Greebo]

Urvi deftly positions herself to command all the enemies closest to you to focus their attention on her! She then calls on roots of stone which ripple and shake but only one of the militants is affected (Mil 3: 21 vs. ac; hit - 10 dmg - bloodied).

Upon seeing his buddy bloodied, Militant 2 launches a fierce counterstrike (Imm react): 27 vs. Urvi AC, 18 dmg (bloodied) and Urvi is pushed backwards. Militant 2 steps in to her spot.

Spending her reserves of energy (AP used), she summons more earth power at the Berzerker, who cannot evade her this time! He is knocked prone, and lands hard (22 vs. ac; hit; 16 dmg).

Jacoby descends the stairs, sees the mob, and is so startled that his attempt to deafen the berzerker fails - barely (11 vs. ref; miss).

The drudges move to position themselves, then charge as a group. Drudge 1 goes after Duma. 2 and 3 pursue Urvi. Drudge 4 works around to flank off of the Berserker . Drudge 5 goes for Duma as well, and only Drudge 6 is unable to reach a target this round.

Drudge 1: Fumble
Drudge 2: 19 vs ac19
Drudge 3: 23 vs ac19
Drudge 4: 29 (with CA) hits
Drudge 5: 25 hits

Four of the 5 drudges hit their marks - club - 5dm each - 15 to urvi, 5 to Raj. Urvi bloodied.

The militants know they can't leave the zone, so they don't - but Militant 2 launches a relentless attack against Urvi with his bastard sword. The swing is flawless (CRIT). She flies backwards again, unconscious (14 dmg), crumpling to the ground, and the Militant shifts forward into her space again.

Urvi since your AP usage could still apply as you stated it, even though you got shifted south one, I kept it in place. Let me know if you'd like to change that before you get knocked unconscious, but personally I can't imagine why you'ld want to do less dmg...

Shere, Raj, Duma

[attriel]

Technically someone can use my Divine Guidance and re-roll an attack on Orog Militant 1; one person can use it per encounter, so I don't know if we want to hang onto it ...

Shere steps up to stand beside Urvi (Move:J16) as he attacks Orog Militant 2 with the might of the heavens (Standard: Thunder and Echo: +7 vs AC, 1d10+4 dmg + 1d10 thunder, miss half; Secondary Close Burst 2, each enemy other than primary, +7 vs Fort, 1d6+4 Thunder, push 2) (yes, it's my daily)

Thunder:
17 vs AC Orog 2
13 Dmg, 5 Thunder Dmg (9 if I missed)

Echo:
16 vs Fort Militant 1
25 vs Fort Drudge 3
26 vs Fort Drudge 4
11 vs Fort Drudge 5
23 vs Fort Angry
19 vs Fort Drudge 2
17 vs Fort Militant 3

8 Thunder Dmg
And push them all 2. I imagine it's push 2 from the center point (Orog 2), so BOOM! outwards.
Which presumably pushes the otehr 2 orogs and the angry out of Urvi's Zone, yay bonus damage!

[Kiir]

Did you use my 5 damage resist? It still leaves me unconscious, but a bit less so. And I will stick with the using of the AP.

[Greebo]

DOH! I noted it then promptly forgot it!

Which means the minions did 5-5 each, and the militant did 10 less total.

Ok, Urvi ISN'T unconscious!

[Greebo]

Also, Jacoby goes after Urvi - so techincally he *could* throw her a heal last turn after the Militant had his first hit on her.

[attriel]

OK, I do all the same still, but in J16 instead of I16, same target etc though
(edited my post above)

[Lycos]

So, Urvi was that hurt on round 1? If that is so, then I will change to a heal instead. Let me change my post.

Urvi was bloodied before your turn, and subsequently hurt even more.

Ok, then my turn has been altered then.

[Sagar]

Updated with new actions:

Raj stays put and sends another spray of fire over the orcs (Burning Spray: Centered at J15. d8+7 fire damage. +6 vs REF. Raj gains fire shield until EoNT. First melee to hit takes 3 fire damage.

10 damage to those hit

Starting with nearest creature:

Urvi 11 vs Ref
Tor Shere 12 vs Ref
Drudge 5 22 vs Ref
Militant 2 24 vs Ref

End of available targets

[Greebo]

No, i got my symbols confused - the drudges went after Duma, not Raj, but original I thought it was Raj. I fixed the name in all but one spot - but if you note the dmg tables, duma took the dmg not raj

[Greebo]

Ok so retro first - Jacoby threw a heal at Urvi, and now her dmg post enemy combat is only 16, no longer bloodied.

[Greebo]

Shere advances to stand aside Urvi and calls the power of the heavens down on Militant 2 - but the Militant is very well armored (17 vs. AC; miss) and takes only partial damage (9 dmg total). Thunder explodes around the Militant, shaking the very souls of the enemy.
One militant orc manages to withstand the rending air, but the other (#3) and the berserker are both affected badly (8 dmg), literally pushed out of the earthy zone created by urvi (4 dmg extra).
Drudges 3, 4 and 2 are cranialy ruptured by the explosion of sound (dead).

Raj sends a burst of fireout, engulfing two orcs and two allies. The allies expect it (this is Raj, they know how he rolls) and manage to resist the fire. The drudge is charred to cinders, and even the militant has had it at this point - the fire renders him extra crispy...

I'll risk the OA and hit drudge1 with Avenging Light (a ranged attack).

Duma launches a blast of Avenging light at the Drudge next to him...

...and the Drudge gets a swing with his club in at Duma while Duma is concentrating (21 vs AC18; hit; 5dmg)...

Urvi, Jacoby...

[Greebo]

Crap. Forgot the prone bit. Fixing.

[Lycos]

To help speed things up, I am going to assume that Urvi will not touch the one drudge and go for the berzerker (for Raj's sake). I'll take the drudge.

Cutting Words - +6 vs Will, 1d8 + Charisma modifier (+5) psychic damage, and you pull the target 2 squares. Increase damage to 2d8 + Charisma modifier (+4) at 21st level.

Going with the classic, "Neener Neener" charm. :mrgreen:

21 vs. Will. Hit, I assume.

10 points of damage.

[Kiir]

Urvi will move to G15 (move), and mark the berserker (free). She then attacks him using her Strength of Stone power (standard, +7 vs AC, 1d12+4 damage, 4 temp hit points).

24 vs AC of Beserker
15 damage
4 temp hit points Urvi

[Greebo]

I failed to put the berserker in the right place so I moved him then put you in a non OA spot.

[Greebo]

Jacoby is your target the last drudge? Not clear.

[Lycos]

Jacoby is your target the last drudge? Not clear.

Yeah, as far as I can tell there is only one drudge left on the map.

[Greebo]

Urvi advances on the still prone Berserker and brings her own greataxe into play, dodging his defenses easily (you forgot +2 prone) and putting a nasty gash in the Berserker's armor (hit;15 dmg; bloodied).

Jacoby makes a rude gesture at the last drudge, who dies of shame (big # vs. will; hit; minion splat).

Shere, Raj, Duma

[attriel]

Did you forget my THP?

Shere growls as his teeth and nails stretch out (Minor: Razorclaw Shifting: Speed +2, +1 AC, +1 Reflex, EOE). He smirks as he stands steadfast (Minor: Enduring Spirit: +4 All Defense, EONT), and draws on his inner reserves (Standard: Second Wind: +10HP, +2 All Defense BONT).

"Is that all, you snuffling beasts?"

+2 Speed
+10 HP

Raising me to 24 AC, 20 Fort, 24 Reflex, 22 Will
And putting me at 22 HP.

I always forget your thp.

[Sagar]

Raj will shift away from the crawling cretin (to I16) and drop a burning spray on the militants (centered J14, CB3, +6 ref, d8+7, fire shield to me - 3 fire damage to next melee that hits me.)

13 vs Mil 1
23 vs Mil 2
13 damage

I will use preservers rebuke on Mill1 (+4 to attack)

I will use Blades of Astral fire centered on Tor.

[attriel]

Jacoby casts Healing Word on Tor Shere.

Healing Word -

Daily - Divine Healing
Close burst 5(10 at 11th, and 15 at 21st)

You or one target can spend a healing surge and regain an additional 1d6 hit points.

6 extra hps.

So that puts another 16HP on Tor Shere, total up to 38 now! I'm almost at full HP!

[Greebo]

Jacoby is a bit premature - we'll see ;)

[Greebo]

Shere grins, and magical energies ripple around his body, shaping him, changing him, making him better, stronger, faster... (+2 speed, +1 ac/ref till EOE; +4 all def EONT; +10 hp;)

Raj shifts away from the still grounded berserker, and lays down a blast of fire by his allies (who break out their sunscreen). The two militants forgot theirs (13; 23 vs ref) and take scorching burns. Militant 3 is extra crispy (+13 dmg; mil 3 dead)

I wasn't expecting that, so I take back my original move. Sorry, I'm just trying to streamline the moves.

[Asharad]

Rats. Can I change my attack? I wouldn't use an AOE on one target.

[Asharad]

If so...
I will still preservers rebuke on Mill1 (+4 to attack)-fair is fair, I would have done this anyway.

I will use Avenging Light on Mill1

Ash, I think he is letting you do that with his comment above.

[attriel]

Did you forget the +2 all defense BONT from second wind, or does it not stack with the other power's +4? didn't think to look that up, so I'm not sure

[Greebo]

Yes but keep the first d20 roll.

[Asharad]

Done, only one roll needed to be changed.

[Greebo]

Duma is glad that his ancient memory allowed him to slip his blast of light in past the last militants defenses (19 vs. fort, hit; 14 dmg; dead) but the dead militant is not.

The berserker stands, taking the pain gladly (move; 14 dmg) and swings his greataxe at Urvi (25 vs. AC19; 7 - 4 thp = 3 dmg). He hits easily, but lightly, and Urvi only laughs at the light scratches. The berserker, however, is rejuvenated by his attack, and he looks slightly better off than he did when he was prone (+16 health).

25 perception.

[attriel]

Shere looks around as the last orc falls. "Rawr?"

He sighs. Then he looks around the room. "Are they all dead? All the monks who worshipped and studied here?"

One surge, 14 hp; new total 36/40; I'll stop at that

[Greebo]

Map of the room you descended into:
http://www.legendsofwestwood.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2130&stc=1&d=1274285665

Columns: Two rows of 10-foot diameter columns support the ceiling overhead.

Statue: A massive statue of a dwarf warrior battling a hydra dominates the center of the room, standing nearly as tall as the ceiling.

Dwarf Statues: At the north end of the room, flanking the exit, is a pair of 30-foot tall statues of grim dwarf warriors, each holding an axe, with the head down, between its feet. The statues wear helmets
that conceal all but their beard. The statues do not depict particular dwarf warriors, but rather are idealized versions of Moradin’s chosen servants.

Corpses: The orcs clearly took the dwarves by surprise. The dwarves fought bravely, but lacking their armor, they could not stand against the weapons and numbers of the invaders.

Illumination: Braziers in each of the four corners shed light in a 10-square radius, illuminating all but the center of this massive room.

Ceiling: The ceiling is 20 squares overhead.

Stairs: A spiral staircase at the southern end of the room leads up to where you came from.

Adjoining Rooms: All along either side of the room are stairs that climb 30 feet up to a landing and the entrance to one of the priests’ cells. Each contains a cot, a trunk, and a few personal items.

25 perception.

I use passive perception for general detection. Specific perception rolls require you to specify a specific object to be examined.

For instance - passive perception may suggest the book cases on the wall don't line up perfectly, but active perception will let you find the mechanism that opens the door.

Is there something specific you want to use your 25 for?

Find a way to close the trap door that lead down to here.

Find a way to close the trap door that lead down to here.

You successfully find the hemp rope handle attached to the hidden door that was exposed when the earlier orcs went up through it.

Hoooray! :D

[Lycos]

Hoooray! :D

I sooooo rock. :roll:

[Lycos]

After my amazing discovery, I will go back down into the room. Does this room look like there are any doors that might go to any new areas? Because if this is a self contained room, I will call out for any survivors with a normal voice. No shouting.

What do we get off of the orcs? Also, we might as well check the rooms for anything of value. And if there is anything that we think would be valuable to any surviving monks we'll try to get that out of here as well, if it is relatively portable.

"I would recommend against looting the bodies of those fallen in defense of their god. We should put each monk back in his cell. But we should also hurry, in case there are more somewhere still holding off the orcs. I think Sehanine would be displeased if I tarried here and arrived in time to see the last one fall."

[Lycos]

Agreed.

[Greebo]

Well crap.

In the last adventure, in addition to having a simple grid in the beginning, each encounter spelled out where treasure was located, if any.

This adventure does not. It gives me a simple list of rooms and parcels at the very beginning, and makes no further reference. Nor are the room's actually NOTED so it took me a while to figure out what rooms are which for the parcels.

As a result, you've already missed one parcel, which was upstairs. So I'll move it down here. Thats your free hint. :)

The orcs are using:
Berserker - Leather, greataxe, and some fancy looking armbands.
Drudges - Hide Armor, Clubs (x6)
Militants - plate armor, heavy shields, bastard swords (x3)

Aside from the 50' wide passageway leaving to the north, there are no other apparent exits to this area. However, now that you think about it, you feel a definite draft of fresh air coming from the passage north.

You quickly place the bodies of the massacred dwarves into the alcoves as best you can. All in all it only takes you a few minutes. You cannot be sure if you got them in the right places, but its the best you could do.

[Greebo]

Oh - as for the content of the alcoves - these were truly monastic monks - such possessions as they had were clearly sentimental only - apparent memoirs of their pre-monastic life.

[Lycos]

Move on I guess. We head to the North passageway. Let's see what's that way.

[Asharad]

arcane check on all the gear please.

[Greebo]

The armbands are definitely magical.

In fact, they are "Iron Armbands of Power".

Waiting to hear from him.

Do we hear sounds of fighting or anything from further in?
You hear... wind. And you see daylight. In fact, looking down the wide hall, you can see daylight filling the entire passage. The entire passage opens to the outside about 200 feet down the hall.

Urvi will pick up the bracers and put them on before leading the group deeper into the keep.

Update char sheet/stats please.

[Sagar]

Raj will take one surge (9+4).

The statue is non magical and massive. You're so awed by the detail that you don't notice anything other than it's heroic portrayal of someone who was clearly a major figure in dwarfish history.

[attriel]

Watching Raj looking to loot the statue from these fallen righteous dwarves, Shere sighs. "It's a statue, Raj, and we must hurry!"

History: 7

It is, indeed, a statue.

[Asharad]

History, you say? (26)

[Greebo]

Dergan Fellfist was a dwarven hero who faced and defeated an incredibly powerful hydra that had devoured no less than 300 warriors before he killed it in single combat.

His bones are supposed to be interred in these mountains - and this statue could very well be his final resting place.

[Asharad]

I'll share that with the group.

Do ya'll want me to check out the other statues as well?

[Sagar]

So, do we look for artifacts that can help us in upcoming battles or do we try to help any remaining dwarves then come back and look?

[Lycos]

I'm thinking that we don't come back with all the orcs around here. Before word gets out that we were here, we need to be gone.

[attriel]

Shere begins moving north through the hall, looking and listening for anything coming from outside.

Perception: Is there a courtyard in the middle of this underground cavern (unusual for dwarves isn't it?) or is this opening not something that's been there? Like, did the orcs manage to bring down a wall ... or a mountain ...

Perception 25

[Greebo]

It becomes immediately apparent to Shere as he walks north (alone) that the passageway extends a long way, all the way to the north side of the mountain into which this monastery was built. (remember you entered from the west and it was up against a sheer mountain wall).

http://www.legendsofwestwood.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2132&stc=1&d=1274794541

The left side of the above shows the end of the passage. You can see that a platform extends out into the open air from the wide mouth of the tunnel, and stair railings are visible going down. The right pic shows what the view must look like from outside.

[Lycos]

If there are any survivors, I guess they are outside already.

Does Jacoby know any dwarven songs? (What do I roll for that?)

[Sagar]

I want to check for magic. We should check for survivors. Let's head down the passage and down the stairs.

[Sagar]

Is it windy or are the stairs in bad shape? I don't want anyone to fall off.

[Greebo]

Is it windy or are the stairs in bad shape? I don't want anyone to fall off.

Are you joining Shere, then? What about the rest of you? And did you want to check for magic?

And Shere - right now you're some distance back yet from the end of the hall. What do you do now?

[Kiir]

Urvi will join Shere and Raj in heading deeper in to check for survivors.

[Sagar]

You know, guys. There may be protections on this nice, big, wide open hallway...

[Greebo]

You know, guys. There may be protections on this nice, big, wide open hallway...

Answer my question and find out ;)

[Sagar]

I already checked for magic and stuff around the statue.

Can I take another action of that sort?

[Greebo]

Around the statue? No, but it's a big room.

So you're not joining Shere yet, I take it. So Urvi and Shere are ... oh 50 feet or so back from the mouth of the passage, and the rest of you are a couple football fields away from them.

[Sagar]

Raj will move to join Urvi and Shere. He'll keep an eye out for magical or mundane traps as he goes.
Perception: +1+16 = 17
Arcana: +7+18 = 25

[Greebo]

You sense no other magic along the long, plain, wide hall. It appears to be just a very wide hall leading to the outside.

[Asharad]

I'll move up too, looking for the magic and whatnot.

[attriel]

Shere sighs as the group advances very cautiously. "Why would the dwarves boobytrap their home and the temple?"

He strides to the staircase to look out, to determine where the staircase leads

Not going on/down the case yet, just up to it and looking over the side

I will take it on faith that Jacoby also moved with the group, since Lycos hasn't been here today.
