Blood of gods ic

[Sissyphus]

You who stand before us, Maude and firmah, shall be cast into the dungeons to try the test of abilities which shall prove you ready for project Courel.


As the gray robed professor says this, he pulls a lever and you plumet into a deep black pit.







Temple of blades:
Today marks the start of our grand tournament, the first battle is between Arouvar and Kavels team and the bulky bruisers.




Douglass: you awaken inside an oddly swirling vortex of energy, wondering who you are. A path seems to recede into the distance.

[Nebuchadnezzer]

Douglass von Bartholomer woke up to the sound of his own panicked breath. He had little time to make sense of what transpired before he felt a throbbing in his head. He looked around where he was, and what he saw did not help his pitiful state. He saw an oddly swirling vortex of energy. Taking his fill of the sight, he stood up.

"Where am I?" Douglass asked... he wasn't quite sure who he asked. "Who am I?"

The man looked around, dazed. He saw a path leading from where he was. Not sure what to do, he followed the unknown path.

[Krennel]

Maude composes himself, sweeping of his hat and speaking quickly to his falling companion.
"Hello my name is Maude Hatter,
and I dont mean to blather,
But we seem to be stuck,
like the bog muck,
the only solution is to take to the sky,
or in this case the wall,
unless you wish to die?"
Smiling mischeviously, he puts his hat back on, and spread his arms outward. Concentrating, he pulls a ball of energy into his chest, and realeases it into his fingers and toes, which he promptly sticks to the nearest wall. Holding fast as he tips his hat once more. As he attempts to put it back on his head, he realizes his fingers are stuck to it, and begins shaking his hand vigourusly.
Maude used his Warlock invocation Spider walk

[ColdSepp]

Argur

Argur inspects his weapon, as he does before every battle, then proceeds into the arena. He is determined to win this match.

[Sissyphus]

Douglass: the walls ofthis strange place swirl in a sickeningly rapid seizure inducing manner. A misshapen thing which is uterly revolting slithers towards you splitting into a pair. Slimy gray tenticular things hang from random points, and they seem to be mostly teeth. They appear tpbeinterested in your flesh as they slide closer.




Maude and firmah, the area youhave landed in is dark and sank with verylittle light a few manicles cover one wall.


Kavel and Arugor: the bruisers stand at the farside glaring at you
(Battle of wills)
They are incredibly large, and wearheavy spiked armor.

[ColdSepp]

Argur

Argur ignores the glaring, readying himself.


I assume you mean Duel of Wills? If so, I am Ignoring the Challange


Ignore the Challenge: If your opponent ignores your challenge to engage in a contest of wills, make a DC 15 Intimidate check. If you succeed, you gain a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls against that opponent for 1 round.

[Xaklin_Magewrit]

"Hello Maude I am Firmah Tialian of the dark elves. Yes we must work together to prove ourselves
Firmah pulls out a coin.
Oh powers of light give me your power to help light our path before us. Firmah cast light on the coin.

I am use to have say my verbal components so I might do that here.

[Nebuchadnezzer]

I still get my gear, right?

Douglass should be afraid. Fear should be his primary mode of emotion at the present. After all, Douglass was in the presence of some sort of eldritch horror, bent on the consumption of his flesh. But, no. What Douglass was feeling right now was anger, pure and unmistakable fury. Combined with the slight throbbing in his head, he was not in the cowering mood.

"Come at me then," Douglass said with a shout. "YOU WILL NOT FIND ME AN EASY MEAL!"

[Sanguine]

Kavel meets the bruisers stares with a calm icy almost inhuman stare.

Unerving Calm feat allows me to use concentration in place of intimidate:[roll0]

[Krennel]

Maude walks down the wall, and stand next to Firmah, he wrings out is hat, as a small black cat climbs out. stretching he looks around.
Maudes eyes flash for a second.
"Firmah is your name?
I guess whe have your mother to blame,
for ruining my rhyme,
because as you know,
these things take some time!"
See the Unseen, I can see all invisible things, and dark vision.

[Sissyphus]

The larger one quavers beneath your gaze Kavel,
the smaller (slightly) fails to look intimidating


Douglass roll inishiative against the beings.


Whee last leg of my flight home boards soon.

[Nebuchadnezzer]

So I still have my gear, right?

[Sissyphus]

[ColdSepp]

Argur


[roll0]

[Xaklin_Magewrit]

What do I see because of the light spell?

[Nebuchadnezzer]

Douglass, despite his state, managed to deflect the first attack of the tentacle. However he was not so lucky with the second. The lashing tendril slammed against him, and dealt quite a blow.

Awakened by the pain, Douglass felt a fury inside him. His surroundings seem to take on a reddish hue, making everything look drenched in blood.

RAGE time. +4 Str, +4 Con, -2 AC.

HP: 44(52)/53
Rounds left: 8

With a fierce yell, Douglass swung his large sword at the tentacles.

Attack a tentacle. I don't know which one. The one that hit me?
Attack roll:
[roll0]
Damage:
[roll1]

[Sissyphus]

Douglas:
Your blade smashes into the tentacled mass cleaving deeply spurting jets of blood emanate from it as it readies to strike again.
In tandem the two tentacled masses raise their tentacles and strike at you with as much force as they can muster.
(attack rolls: 8, 22, 10, 11; 14, 16, 23, 12)
(Damage rolls: 9, 6, 7, 5; 6, 7, 8, 10)


Firmah
You see a small cluster of shackles chained to the wall in one corner of the room (10x10x20) in the farthest corner from you you can see the faint outline of a door.


Argor: (move first, unless superseded by Kavel)


(can you tell i like having a computer back?)

[ColdSepp]

Argor: (move first, unless superseded by Kavel)



Um, where are they? How far away? What's the terrain like?

[Nebuchadnezzer]

HP: 19(31)/53

Douglass' knuckles ran white as he gripped his blade. His rage now in full swing, he resumed his attacks with unbridled fury.

[Xaklin_Magewrit]

Firmah walks towards the outline of the door holding the coin as a light source.

[Sanguine]

Initiative:[roll0]

[Sissyphus]

Douglass: your blade cleaves down into empty air striking a mighty spark among the stones, even as the tentacled monstrocities rear back for another attack. The wounded one backs away (leaving threatened square, make aoo) while the other slidews around behind you and attacks with a tentacle.
(attack 22)
(damage 10)

Firmah
The door is steel, locked from the outside


Argor (first), Kavel (last):
Your dwarfish foes stand 20 feet away across a sandy arena, (40x20xopensky) a crowd of first through third year students sits in the bleachers to your left to the right a sheer stone wall rises 50 feet into the sky.

[Nebuchadnezzer]

HP: (21)/53
Rounds left: 6

"Don't run! Don't run!"

As the tentacle slithers away, Douglass saw the opportunity and pounced on it without mercy.

Almost at the brink of death, Douglass' rage knew bounds no longer. He resumed his assault on the tentacled horror.

[roll4]
Damage:
[roll5]

[Xaklin_Magewrit]

Firmah goes to the wall with shackles. Searching for anything unusual.
[roll0]

[Krennel]

Maude walks up to the door and inspects the door closely, trying to see if there is a crack or keyhole Petey can fit through.

[Sissyphus]

Douglass:
as it backs away, you scything blade reaches out, and severs it's scrawny neck, throwing gouts of blod, you turn in rage to smash your opponent, driving the blade in deep, it screams something in rapidly changing pitches as it flows about, then stirkes with it's four writhinbg tentacles.
(7, 26, 19, 14; 10, 5, 6, 5)



Maude:
There is a key hole, but it is only a faint pinprick, the outline of the lockbar is on the other side.

Firmah:
you discover a small secret hole concealed underneath one of the shacles, next to it lies the moldy remains of a brick, on the ground you can see the remnants of a spoon, which had been used to pry the brick out. You cannot see far into the hole for it makes a small bend (to small to climb through, the homniculous could do it)

[Nebuchadnezzer]

HP: (10)/53
Rounds left: 5

Douglass roared as he never did before. He could feel the cold hands of death creep on him, but he stayed them with another loud yell.

He resumed his attack on the tentacled horrors. This was the last blow, he knew. With this his fate was decided. With the last ounce of his strength, he swung at his opponent with all his might.

Power Attack (-4) - Attack roll:
[roll0]
Power Attack (+8) - Damage:
[roll1]

Edit: the Dice Gods favor me this day.

Are they vulnerable to critical hits?

[Xaklin_Magewrit]

"Maude come here there is a small hole. Can you use your homunculus to scout for us.
Here you go Nebuchadnezzer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB_l4AdtJds)

[Sissyphus]

yes they are vulnerable to critical hits, not that it matters, you just killed it


Douglass:
your blade hammers down, describing an arc of inescapable power, flashing down it utterly destroys the things body, leaving naught but a few shredded rags of tentacular flesh.

[Krennel]

Maude pulls off his hat, and begins pulling things out of it.
"Come on Petey,
Come to the needy."
He finaly pulls out Petey. Pointing to the hole he says.
"Fly through there, and watch your hair,
If you stick, come back and I'll fix it. Be sure to tell me what you see, that is what I need."
Petey simply rolls his oversized eyes, and cautiously enters the hole.

[Sissyphus]

Douglas: gain exp = to one 4th lv encounter


Maude and Firmah:
the homniculous coems out a few minutes later bearing a pair of wands, and alerts you "there is nothing in the hole it just dead ends into these sticks.

[Xaklin_Magewrit]

Well atleast we have a pair of wands. Shall we try the door?

[Krennel]

"Makes about as much sense, though this door is rather dense. Let me try something though.
Maude closes his eyes and concetrates, making a long yellow line between himself and the front of the door. A large hand, made of the same matriel as the floor, erupt from the end of the yellow lines, and begins beating at the door.

[Sissyphus]

(make your attack rolls)

[Nebuchadnezzer]

How much XP is that?

Triumphant, Douglass let out a loud roar. He took out two bottles from his pack and drank it hungrily. He felt the pains from his wounds lighten a bit.

Drinking two-bottles of Cure Light Wounds:

[roll0]

The reddish hue that coated the world slowly disappeared. Douglass surveyed his surroundings, and tried to get a sense of what the hell is going on.

[ColdSepp]

[Sissyphus]

easlily, (you have about 10 days from your escapade to the next possible encounter) there's nothing in the environment which will hurt you at the moment.


Krennel and Xaklin, you have to get through (blast?) the door, Sanguine and Coldsepp, you guys just need to finish the tournament battle.

[ColdSepp]

Krennel and Xaklin, you have to get through (blast?) the door, Sanguine and Coldsepp, you guys just need to finish the tournament battle.

I cast orb of fire lesser.[roll0]
Damage [roll1]

[Sissyphus]

the first dwarf roars in outrage, as your blade sinks in, the second dodges shiftly to one side.
Both of them attack kavel, their blades dancing in the light of the full sun.
(Attacks: 14, 17; damage 13, 16)
(attacks: 17, 14; damage 12, 14)

[Krennel]

[Spoiler] I'm getting tired of repeating myself WHAT BOUT THE GIANT FIST PUNCHING IT DOWN! [\Spoiler]

[Sanguine]

The blades bounce of Kavel's chainshirt with little more then a thud.

[ColdSepp]

Argur

Argur takes a swift action to recover his maneuvers, then attacks whichever looks more wounded.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

[Sanguine]

Kavel takes a deep breath and then slices into his enemy.

Swift action to recover Steel Wind followed by an attack on whichever dwarf Argur didn't attack.

Attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

[Sissyphus]

Your blade bights lightly into the dwarf, who roars and attacks:
(18; 12)
(14;16)
The other dwarf collapses (Argurs) into the dirt, clutching a wound in the side of his chest.

The door bursts asunder under the pressure of the fist, a Tall humanoid wrapped in chains stands in the doorway, where it has evidently been waiting for quite some times, as it appears to be dozing lightly (roll initiative please)

[Xaklin_Magewrit]

[roll0]
We get one thing down and a another appears.

[Sanguine]

The blade misses Kavel due to a quick duck. Kavel upon getting up takes a deep breath and adjusts his footing and blade position leaving himself open but in an excellent posistion for attack he then swings with clear intent on his face.

Swift action to enter punishing Stance followed by saphire nightmare blade.

Concentration Roll: [roll0]

Damage [roll1] Power Attacking for 3, Already included in both rolls.

[Krennel]

[roll0]
Then let's make one thing very clear,
he is going to disapear.

[Sissyphus]

Argur, Kavel:
your blades cut down rapidly, the dwarf caollapses on the ground were he pronounces "i yield" before falling unconscious.

A black robed man steps out onto the field shouting, "congratulations on your victory, we have a great prizes for you" he produces a Bastard sword and a shimmering Greatsword from under his cloak and hands them to you along with a Pair of Adamantium daggers that appear in his hands from somewhere, as he does so, something flickers in front of your eyes and you pass out. (you still take the weapons)

Douglass, you stumble along the passage wounded, until you find a swirling vortex of multi colored light at one end, in front of it lies a shimmering geataxe balanced blade down across the hilt of a Longsword with it's blade buried in the dirt (what do yer do)

Maude: your move

[Nebuchadnezzer]

Douglass stood in awe of the majestic colors that swirled around him. He found it hard to divert his attention from the sight, but he found something that did. In front of him lied a shimmering geataxe balanced upon a longsword. Douglass walked closer towards it, intent on studying it.

[Krennel]

Maude makes a grabbing motion with his left hand, and the stony hand grabs at the thing.
With the other Maude throws a ball of energy from his finger tips.
"Your going to be smaller,
and if you don't like that then just holler,
for one gold piece,
i'll put you to sleep.
spell failure [roll0]
Stony hands grapple check [roll1]
Since defining a target has no listed action, i assumed it would be a free action. The spell is reduce person, and if the spell failur is over 5 it is successful. It will make the opposed Grapple check take a minus 4 penalty.

[Sissyphus]

Douglass, you feel something pulling you towards the hole, and notice with a sinking sensation, your feet are sliding involunatrily.

Maude:
The thing shrugs for a moment, rippling in its skin as magic energy plays over it then it twists, throwing the stone fist aside.
It swings it's body at you, whipping chains about. (attack 22, damage 6; attack 28, damage 7)


Sorry, internet was down.

[ColdSepp]

Argur

Are we still unconscious?

[Sissyphus]

yes (until the others show up, sorry)

[Sissyphus]

A quick death notice: if action doesn't restart within 2 days the game is dead

[Xaklin_Magewrit]

What is innitative order?
So it's my turn?

[Sissyphus]

Maude, Thing, you

[Xaklin_Magewrit]

Assuming it my turn.
"Ah he seems like a formittable opponet to withstand that but, I will give it a try."
"Oh powers long and forgotten I call upon your powers to come and stop the enemy before me."
I cast Hold Person will save 18.

[ColdSepp]

Argur is still unconscious, so cant' really post

[Xaklin_Magewrit]

Bump this thread.

[Sanguine]

Bump bump bumpity bump
