Neverending Dungeon - Bill

[Tanaric]

The air surrounding you fairly hums with the residue of magic, an aftereffect of the spell that brought you to this place. A quick glance reveals that you are in a fairly spacious, rectangular room, devoid of any life save for yourself. The sound of dripping water can be heard faintly, and the stone walls are slick with moisture. In complete defiance of logic, two torches are already lit and resting in brackets, one by each of the doors.

There is a door at A-1, north side, and another at D-4.

DM notes:5, 4, 18

[Ekindu]

I spend my first turn flexing to myself in suggestive mannerisms.

Flint and steel to light hooded lantern, hang it by my belt, wield quarterstaff with one hand leaving the other open.

General search of the room
1d20-1

Given nothing of value or interest I will head towards A-1 and do another search of the door.
1d20-1

Edit(ing): Seemed to work in die roller thread. Give me a second.

[Ekindu]

Search 1 and 2.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Tanaric]

You find nothing. Perhaps contacts would help?

[Ekindu]

"And to say the blind-fight would help with the not having to see."

Either way, I will poke at the door and try to push it open with my quarterstaff.

[Tanaric]

As you poke the door with your weapon, several hundred lines of crackling blue energy appear, surrounding the door and much of the adjacent wall in a spiderweb pattern. The energy leaps from the door to your weapon, giving it quite a shock.

The previously hidden copper wires are now visible as thin black marks on the door, which they have charred quite thoroughly.

Your quarterstaff takes 1 electric damage. Half, then hardness, reduces that to 0 easily.

[Ekindu]

"Woo, shocking."

I will proceed to opening the door and taking a look outside.

[Tanaric]

Opening the door reveals an unlit corridor that runs to the east and west.

To the east, the corridor goes for fifteen feet before turning to the north.

To the west, the corridor goes for twenty-five feet before turning to the south.

[Ekindu]

Lets head east, before doing so I will do a search at the door I'm at and at the corner heading north.

[Ekindu]

I'm guessing edits don't like rolls.

Search 2

[Tanaric]

You fail to note the tripwire laying in your path five feet from the door you came out of, and as your foot catches it, the sound of stone grinding on stone fills the air. It lasts for perhaps a minute before fading away.

[Ekindu]

"Ooh spooky, grinding stones. Didn't seem to hurt... hopefully"

I continue my action to the turn going north. before going any further north what do I see?

[Tanaric]

You see that the hall continues to the north for twenty feet before teeing to the east and west.

[Ekindu]

Hmm.. Walk at half speed doing a search for any pressure plates or trip wires. Obviously step to avoid them if I spot them.

OOC Question:
I should probably note my snake is coiled in my clothing. I don't have access to a MM so how much weight would you call a small viper so I can reflect it in my sheet

[Tanaric]

To the west, the hall continues for ten feet before turning south. To the east, it continues for twenty feet before turning north. There is a door on the east side of the bend.

[Ekindu]

Half speed march, searching along the way for pressure plates or tripwires

[Tanaric]

I think it's only fair to tell you that all of the traps in this dungeon have a Search DC of at least 20. Does that change anything in your plans?

[Ekindu]

Well poop.

Alrighty, I shant be doing any more search checks. Maybe when this character dies I'll make it search happy rather than spot happy.

Move half-speed crouching. Hoping any horizontal dart traps or wall-axes will be above him. Standing when in front of the door.

Otherwise I'm doing the same thing.

[Tanaric]

When you reach the bend with the door, you see that the path continues to the north for ten feet before teeing into an east/west corridor. Tapping on the door brings the sound of faint chittering.

[Ekindu]

Listen check on the door
[roll0]

[Tanaric]

You hear chittering. Nothing new.

[Ekindu]

(Don't think I need to roll MS as I'm standing still right now)
Hide
[roll0]

I'll open the door and poke/punch anything within reach.

Spot for opening door
[roll1]

[Tanaric]

Opening the door reveals the following room:{table]|A_|B_|C_|D_

There is a door at A-1, west side, which you are standing just outside of. The entire room is cloaked in shadows, which your lantern light does not penetrate. (Shadowy illumination).

You see nothing else. You still hear chittering.

[Ekindu]

Fog... Chittering... Oh heck, this is a solo campaign. No one can hear my tears.

Walk in to A-1 and ready an action to punch the first thing that comes into sight.

DM
I'm guessing a battle is about to start, use this roll for initiative.
[roll0]
Also keep in mind my Blind fighting. (And of which, I'm rolling d100x2 lowest 20 = miss?)

[Ekindu]

Oooh choking dark gas!

Fort
[roll0]

Keeping up the readied action to pawnch anything that comes in line of site.

[Tanaric]

Nothing happens to you.

Roll a spot and listen check every turn.

[Ekindu]

[roll1]

[Tanaric]

You see what appears to be a slightly larger than normal squirrel on the wall at B-1, five feet above your head. It has pitch black fur and malevolent red eyes.

You also see a second squirrel on the wall at A-3, also five feet above your head.

Your ears tell you that the chittering is coming from three distinct sources.

Roll initiative.

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]

[Ekindu]

If you want to use the initiative I rolled a few posts back it'd be squirrel turns now.

If not here's a new initiative roll
[roll0]

Or does my readied action happen since squirrel above my head is in sticking range?

If it does happen then
With Quarterstaff,

[roll2]

[Ekindu]

Oh how I wish that readied actions goes off
Crit Confirm
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Tanaric]

Sorry, but no. The encounter starts as soon as you see the squirrels, and they act before you.

All three disappear from your sight. You still hear chittering.

Two more fort saves, please.

[Ekindu]

Waste of a critical.

Fort saves!
[roll0]
[roll1]

Is there going to be a save every turn?

Spot
[roll2]
[roll3]

Advance to nearest squirrel in sight and fist it.

If no squirrels are in sight I will ready an action to fist t he first one to appear.

Either way, Spoiler has my attack rolls.
[roll4]
[roll5]
[roll6] 20 and low misses
[roll7] 20 and low misses (Blindfight)

[Ekindu]

That second spot was actually a listen.

[Tanaric]

Your ears tell you that the chittering noises are coming from the same general locations as before, before you take any actions on your turn. You'll know on your next turn whether you need another save. :smallwink: Regardless, nothing unfortunate happens to you.

[Ekindu]

So that spoiler fist attack to A1 Above me, where the squirrel was.

[Tanaric]

I assume you meant B-1. Either way, that's a miss. (Everything currently has total concealment - 50% miss chance, though you still managed to hit through that anyway)

[Ekindu]

Squirrels turn then?

[Tanaric]

Yes. Nothing happens. You continue to hear chittering.

Listen check to narrow it down, if you like.

[Ekindu]

[Tanaric]

You pinpoint chittering in the following locations: B-1, +5 elevation, A-3, +5 elevation, D-4, south wall, +10 elevation.

You see nothing, however.

More chittering. It sounds almost like laughter to your ears, mocking you for your failures.

:smalltongue:

[Ekindu]

5ft step out of the door and close it. Add a few curse words in random language. Even a few that don't exist.

Can I see a map?

[Tanaric]

[Ekindu]

I assume I'm near the top right just outside of the door. North 10 feet

MS
[roll0]

[Tanaric]

The hall continues to the east for thirty feet before splitting off to the north and south. It continues to the west further than the light of your lantern extends.

[Ekindu]

Head East til the first door/turn

Crouch-walking
MS
[roll0]

Coming to the turn, which way has the closest door (that is not the squirrel room) and head towards the door. Keeping the crouch walk MS up.

Edit: Added The Squirrels to my Enemies list. I will be back for them... with a vengeance.

[Tanaric]

At the north-south split, the hall continues north for fifteen feet before ending in a door. To the south, the hall continues for twenty feet before turning to the east.

Five feet before the door, there is an east-running hall connected to the one you're in.

[Ekindu]

Head north to the door and open it.

MS

[Tanaric]

Opening the door reveals the following room:{table]|A_|B_|C_|D_|E_|F_|G_

There is a door at E-7 which you are standing just outside of, and another at E-1.

There are three elves in the room. Two (2,3) are holding longswords, while the third (1) is holding a longbow. They look wary.

[Ekindu]

In Elven: "Hello, my name is Bill, Puncher of Nature!"(I strike a pose as I say the name)
"Was your entrance to this dungeon as abrupt as mine? From the looks of it at least you started in a nicer room than mine."

5ft step into the room and free action to greet Elf 3.

[Tanaric]

The elves scrutinize you for a moment before the greeted one responds.

"It was... unexpected, yes. How did you arrive in this place?"

Are you bluffing with that show of friendship?

[Ekindu]

Reponse.
I am indeed.
Ready an action to 5ft step to F-7 and punch Elf-3 Seeing as I'm going with unnarmed weapon I'm hoping this readied action won't be noticeable.

Spot for any of them getting ready to fight

[roll2]

'I'm not entirely sure, I was tending to my forest garden saw a brilliant light coming from my Tulips and woke up in this dungeon. The doors were even electrical!"

"Also, mind the squirrels just south of here. Devilish little things they are."

[Tanaric]

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]

The elf at the north side of the room suddenly shouts "He's lying!"

Roll initiative.

[Tanaric]

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]

[Ekindu]

"Only half so really, I actually did want to know where you all came from."

[roll0]

[Ekindu]

"But I guess I can gain a bit of experience because of all of you"

5ft step to F-7 and punch Elf-3

[roll0]
[roll1]


future reference question
Are monks allowed to 5ft step then flurry attack?

[Tanaric]

Elf 1 moves to A-6 and fires an arrow at you.

[roll0]
[roll1]

Elf 3 5-ft steps into E-7, blocking off the doorway, then tries to cut you open.

[roll2]
[roll3]

Elf 2 5-ft steps to E-1, drops his longsword in F-1, draws his own longbow, then tries to pincushion you.

[roll4]
[roll5]

You can 5-ft step during a full attack, so yes.

[Ekindu]

"Can't seem to hit you either. You must be in cahoots with the squirrels. Least I can see you."

Flurry on Elf-3
[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]

5ft step to G-7

Does Elf1 attacking from A6 and elf 3 being in E7 grant me some cover against Elf1?

[Ekindu]

Crit punch go!
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Tanaric]

No, but I forgot to include the -4 penalty for them shooting into melee.

Spoilered for length:
Your punch staggers elf 3, but he doesn't fall. You killed elf 3.

Elf 1 tries to shoot you again.

[roll0]
[roll1]

Elf 3 then 5-ft steps to F-7 and swings at you. He passes out from the exertion a moment later.

[roll2]
[roll3]

Elf 2 then shoots at you again.

[roll4]
[roll5]

[Ekindu]

G-7 to G-2 and poke the Elf

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Ekindu]

Sorry to bother, I know you're busy, I'm just wondering if I've been forgotten in the mass of neverending dungeons.

[Tanaric]

Aaack. I think I have too many subscribed threads. I'll get to this in a minute.

[Tanaric]

The elf is in E-1, in front of the door. Do you have a reach weapon that you didn't mention drawing?

[Ekindu]

Ah, he dropped the sword in F-1, I thought he 5ft stepped and dropped it in F-1, I can still move to F2 and continue the attack. Which I'll do, even if it was a miss.

[Ekindu]

Sorry again, I think I may just quit the dungeon, you're obviously too busy with all your other dungeons and I have a new campaign starting up by friday the latest. It was good practice for the forum roller and to get a feel for PbP.

Thanks again and if the popularity for Neverending dungeon dies down I may start it up again so we can play.
