The Endless Dungeon -Wanderer in the Wastes

[Tyndmyr]

http://travislerol.com/D&D/Starting.jpg

You awaken in the center of a 10ft by 15ft room with stone walls, ceilings, and floors. A torch is burning on the wall behind you, while the other three walls have closed, metal doors with brackets allowing you to bar them from the inside. Unfortunately, only two metal rods are lying on the floor.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Hmm, in my days, I've learned to be wary of the obvious approach, but also not bar my escape

I'll bar the middle door and pull out my kukris. I'll then open up the top door while standing to the left of it.

Activating Child of Shadow stance

Do I hear anything? [roll0]

Can I see if the room to the top is lit?

[Tyndmyr]

You hear voices in an unknown language talking quietly, it sounds like they're in the next room. There is a slight flickering light reflecting off the door.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

I creep into the room being careful not to attract their attention

Move Silently [roll0]
Hide [roll1]

Forgot Manuevers Readied
Wolf Fang Strike, Distracting Ember, Counter Charge, Stone Bones

For future reference, are there any loose pebbles or stones on the ground?

[Tyndmyr]

All floors are stone unless specified otherwise(I need to add that to the original thread, good catch), with nothing special on them.

You creep inside a 10ft wide room, 30 ft long, with another wooden door on the far side. In the room is four kobolds(F1, E1, E2, C2). - Preplanned encounter, CR 3. Unfortunately, two of them hear you, shout loudly and start to their feet. Roll init.

Oh, nearly forgot. The room is dimly lit by a small fire in D2.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Init [roll0]

I have a sunrod hanging from my belt which should give 30ft illumination

[lvl 1 sharnian]

I move to K2 and back to the doorway to gain concealment and ready an action Hit the first kobold that comes within reach

Hp: 10
AC: 19

[Tyndmyr]

Well, the kobolds grab their weapons(spears), and swarm through the doorway, attempting to surround you. Take your best shot(two, technically, given AoO)!

[lvl 1 sharnian]

I don't have Combat Reflexes so only 1, but I do have a readied action

Wow...

[Tyndmyr]

The kobolds swarm around you, chattering in that vile language of theirs(one each in J1, J2, I2, H2), stabbing at you with their short, dirty spears.

Rolling H2 first, since you have a cover bonus vs him.

The kobold you strike falls to the ground, looking nearly dead. He attempts to crawl away(5 ft adjust to K2).

Another round of blows come as they attempt to stab you(partial cover one first)

Maybe I should have picked up those classes in Draconic before heading to the tavern; these guys haven't said a word since I've gotten here

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Can they hear and see me?

If so, I'd like to try and negotiate with them, taking whatever penalties for not sharing a language

Diplomacy 1d20-1

Listen here, yall are bleeding, but not dead and I can help you, and you can help me. If you don't whatever I do, yall be dead soon anyways. Now if yall agree, I might be able to heal you and get yall back on your feet.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Edit: Diplomacy [roll0]

otherwise, Adaptive Style to refresh my manuevers

[Tyndmyr]

They're no longer conscious, but it was a good idea.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Oh well, kill them all, and sheathe my kukris, and draw an eggshell grenade.

Why must our minds be clouded in hate...

ooc, I'll be heading to bed right now

[Tyndmyr]

As you clean and put away your blades, quiet returns to the dungeon.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

I'll search the kobolds, ignoring their spear and armor. Then look around the room they were. Do I see anything significant?

If not I walk up behind the door and listen to see if I hear anything.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Listen [roll0]
Move Silently [roll1]

[Tyndmyr]

Just the collection of silver pieces on them, and the room is barren.

While listening at the door, you hear slight sounds of movement just on the other side.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

I pick up the silver coins and leave them in a pile on the ground, I pick one up with my free hand (other hand has the eggshell grenade) and crack the door open carefully and peer inside.

What do I see?

Move Silently [roll0]
Spot [roll1]

[Tyndmyr]

In the darkness, you a glimpse of another Kobold. He sees you about the same time you see him.

[Tyndmyr]

It misses, but regardless of where it hits, the splash should hit him. Rolling to see if it lands in the one square where it will hit you as well.

If it hits, can I lop off his head?

[Tyndmyr]

Sure, it's more than enough to drop him.

The head bounces off the wall due to the force of the swing, and rolls to rest in the fire. Mmm, kobold crisps.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

A pity... I wonder?

I search the body and look around the room.

Can I roast the kobold to make rations?

[Tyndmyr]

If you want to make a profession(cooking or similar) or survival check, sure. I dunno if kobold are edible, but I can check my dragon books for any notes regarding poison. Barring that, I'd guess they are.

Now, on to the important bit...the loot.

90 Silver Pieces, and of course, the gear he was carrying.

Also, +150 XP.

You also see a wooden chest in the corner.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

I move the pile of SP from the previous room to the center of this room and add the 90 SP to it, and go search the chest.

Search [roll0]

If I detect nothing, I try to open it.

[Tyndmyr]

Nothing detected, but upon opening it, you find 20 GP and a potion of CLW.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Is there a door? If so, I listen through the door if I can hear anything.
Listen: [roll0]
If I hear nothing, I open the door and creep 5ft in
Move Silently [roll1]

If I hear something, I'll take a different action.

If there's no door, I go back to the room we started (taking the money pile with me), and unbar the bottom door.

[Thelas]

No door.
The bottom door has been unbarred. Nothing charges through to try to kill you.

Next step?

Tyndmyr:
I believe that the one-kobold encounter should award 75 xp. Change it or leave as is?

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Doesn't sound too hopeful...

I creep 5ft past the door and look around.

Move Silently [roll0]
Spot [roll1]

[Tyndmyr]

Thelas:

Leave as is. Was doing it for all the characters for a while, due to the incorrect CR listing in the SRD quick reference. I'll do 75 from here on out, but it's not worth going back and changing a whole buncha chars over 75 xp each.


lvl 1 sharnian:

Once you open the door, you see a short, narrow, unlit, hallway, five feet in width, and twenty in length. Just over halfway down, a door leads to the left, while at the end, another door leads straight ahead.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

I creep to the door in the middle and listen

Move Silently [roll0]
Listen [roll1]

[Tyndmyr]

You hear sounds of movement from within. You're not sure, but you think you hear two distinct creatures.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

I open the door and stand in the door way, what do I see?

[Tyndmyr]

In a particularily messy 15ft by 15ft room, you see two zombie kobolds feasting on the remains of one of their brethren. There is a door on the far side of the room. One of the zombies appears to have noticed your entry, and is looking up with either interest or hunger, it's hard to tell.

Surprise round for you.

I move to the flat-footed zombie, which activates Child of Shadow, and initiate Stone Bones

Close...FF of 13. Same as their regular AC.

Since neither of them can match your init, you may as well go again. =)

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Still flat-footed?

Activate Burning Blade Boost

Are they close enough for me to hit both of them?
If not, I 5ft step to where I can hit both

Loot: Unfortunately, zombies grant only equipment as loot.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Do I see anything else in the room?

[Tyndmyr]

Nothing of value. Some old bones, and rotting scraps of previous meals.

There's the door to the west through which you entered, and another door leading off to the east.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

I walk to the eastern door and try to listen for anything behind the door.

Listen
[roll0]

[Tyndmyr]

Nothing heard.

DM info:


Random mobs: No mob in room K5.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Open the door and try to move quietly 5ft in the room to see what's in there.

Move Silently
[roll0]

[Tyndmyr]

You stealthily move into the large, L shaped room, 15 ft wide on the leg, 10 during the narrow part, and 25 feet in length. It's currently empty, but the room has a total of four doors. One leads north, one leads west, and two lead east.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

I head to the doors on the east and try to listen for something

Listen
[roll0]

[Tyndmyr]

Nothing heard at the northmost door to the east, but definite movement from the southern door. Quite a bit of it, in fact.

DM Info:

Room M8: 4x Orcs(CR 3), 2x Wild Elf(CR 1)

Grand total, CR4. Damn, nasty roll. A 50 followed by a 48 and a 36.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

I open the south door and peer inside

Spot [roll0]

[Tyndmyr]

This 15by 15 foot room has a vaulted ceiling, 25 feet in height, decorated with stunning, if aged and crumbling, murals and artistic stonework. A stone door is visible on the far side, leading east.

The room is, however, occupied. It's practically a party inside, with four orcs(N8, N10, O9, M10) and two wild elves(M8, N9) visible. You see one of the orcs start and lock eyes on you as you enter(the one in N8, by the door).

You have surprise.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Manuevers readied: Burning Blade, Stone Bones, Wolf Fang Strike, and Distracting Ember

I initiate Distracting Ember (can I use swift actions during surprise round?, if not ignore this) and initiate Stone Bones on the orc

[roll1]
If it hits, I gain DR5/adamantine

[Tyndmyr]

Swift action during a surprise round? Don't know honestly, I'll have to look that up. In this case, doesn't matter, as you hit anyway, instantly killing the orc.

The sudden violence causes an uproar as orcs and elves scramble to attack.

Init, from closest to furthest, left to right:

I won't lie, this is a pretty crazy enounter. This is what happens when the "roll again twice on this table" comes into play, in spades.

Flat footed of 14, so your blade strikes true, dropping the elf in a flurry of action.

Survivors: Three orcs(N10, O9, M10) and one wild elves(N9), and you, in N8(if you have reach, and are actually staying back in O8, remove the first orc attack, since only two will be able to hit you).

The orcs attempt to crowd around you, provoking an AoO. If you drop one, remove the first orc attack.
