Neverending Dungeon - Beren

[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 small 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, a torch is already lit, resting in a sconce near the room's single door.

There is a door at C-4, south side.

DM notes:Sheet. (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=176531)

[Sharkman1231]

"HA HA, this feels like an adventure!"

Beren's domains are travel and luck, what had happened is that I accidentally put that info in the private notes section, which I guess you can't read.

Beren goes to the door. He has darkvision, and will mostly use that.

[Sharkman1231]

Oh yeah, did you see what I had posted on the recruitment thread about that other player and his predecessors/sucessors? I thought it was pretty good. :smallbiggrin:

[Tanaric]

The breaking reality bit? Yeah, I saw it. :smallsmile:

Opening the door reveals a hall running to the south and east. To the south, it runs for thirty feet before teeing to the east and west. After twenty feet, it splits west.

To the east, it runs beyond the range of your darkvision. After ten feet, it splits to the north and south. After thirty feet, there is a door on the north side of the hall. After sixty feet, it splits to the north and south.

[Sharkman1231]

Beren puts out the torch, says a prayer to Farbagarble (Farfignewton, it's something like that) and takes out his pole. He will push down on the square in front of him (and the walls too) when he walks and goes south 30 ft.

"Let us be off my companions (his sword and hammer), life is too short to be sitting around."

Edit: He adds the torch to his backpack after putting it out.

[Tanaric]

As you pass the split east, you see that it runs for ten feet before turning north. There is a door on the east side of this bend.

At the T, you see that the hall continues west for ten feet before turning south, or east for forty feet before turning north. Thirty-five feet to the east, there is a door on the north side of the hall. There is a bullseye painted on the ground outside it.

[Sharkman1231]

I go to the door near the bend, still doing the pole routine


Edit: This has nothing to do with pole dancing.

[Tanaric]

Are you touching the bullseye at any point, and if so, from how far away?

[Sharkman1231]

I lie prone 5 feet away and touch it with my pole. If nothing happens I poke the door with my pole and if nothing happens then, i cast longstrider and open the door.

[Tanaric]

Nothing, nothing, opened door.

Opening the door reveals the following room:

{table]|A_|B_|C_|D_|E_
1|||||
2||H|||
3|||B||
4|||||[/table]

There is a door at A-2, another at E-4, south side, which you are just outside of, and another at E-3. There is a human in a chain shirt, holding a longsword, standing behind a beast with patchy dark fur that covers its unhealthy shrunken black skin in some places. Open sores dot its hide and a feral, catlike head glances with it's blank eyes at the wall in front of it.

Roll initiative.

[roll0]

[Sharkman1231]

"Good day to you sir!"

[roll0]

[Tanaric]

The man gestures for you to leave, backing away to the northwest. The beast moves forward, entering the doorway.

[Sharkman1231]

CAn I still close the door?

[Tanaric]

Yes. The beast is on its square inside the room, you're on yours outside it. The door sorta... runs between them.

[Sharkman1231]

Gotcha, I swing my greatsword:
[roll0]
If it hits:[roll1]
I take my move action to move down the hall 30 ft.

[Tanaric]

East or west?

[Sharkman1231]

Back the way I came, so west I think.

[Tanaric]

Indeed.

Your weapon passed right through the beast. Nothing happens that you can detect.

Your turn.

[Sharkman1231]

I wait a minute and go back to being outside the door

Longstrider:59

[Tanaric]

Six seconds into your wait, the door slides shut. Does that change anything?

[Sharkman1231]

I wait 5 rounds and go over and open the door

[Sharkman1231]

I have to go to bed, i'm really tired and it's pretty late where I live. Goodnight.

[Tanaric]

You're met with a wave of color when you open the door (readied action). Will save.

[Sharkman1231]

Argh!! Color Spray!!
I may use my reroll ability for this seeing as it can be a instant game over. First I'll see how I do on my save.
[roll0]

Edit: (explitive deleted) I'm going to reroll this, seeing as I rolled a 2.

[Sharkman1231]

Reroll of will save:
[roll0]

Edit: HELL YAH!!

[Tanaric]

You pass. The man is ten feet to the north of the door. The beast is nowhere to be seen.

[Sharkman1231]

Same init?
Either way, I charge:
[roll0] if it hits
[roll1]

edit:Really?!?! A 1?!?!

[Tanaric]

Heh. :smallamused:

He takes a 5-ft step back and another wave of color washes over you. Will save.

[Sharkman1231]

Oh great, here we go:
[roll0]

[Sharkman1231]

I five-foot step up to him and hack at him:
[roll0]
[roll1] damage

[Tanaric]

He takes a 5-ft step to the northwest, putting him in C-1 and you in D-3, I believe.

A loud crack sounds next to one of your ears, dealing 1 point of sonic damage. Will save.

[Sharkman1231]

"Ahh! My ears!"

[roll0]

[Tanaric]

Nothing else happens.

[Sharkman1231]

If that makes it, I 5 ft step to C-2 and slash at him.
[roll0]
[roll1]

edit:13/14 hp

[Sharkman1231]

I guess I should be happy about doing well on my saves...:smallfrown:

[Tanaric]

Miss.

He 5-fts to B-1. You get another loud crack next to your ear, take another 1 point of sonic damage, and get to make another will save. It's like Christmas all over again!

[Sharkman1231]

Will save:[roll0]
Do I have any idea of what he's doing?
12/14

[Sharkman1231]

I step to B-2 and attempt to hit him
[roll0]
[roll1] damage

"We're not really getting anywhere, are we?"

[Tanaric]

You don't have any ranks in Spellcraft, so no. :smallwink:

Edit: Kersplat. He's dead.

150 xp, the listed gear, plus a spell component pouch.

[Sharkman1231]

"Nevermind"
roll to confirm
[roll0]
If this hits, is it doubled or rolled twice?

[Tanaric]

For a critical hit, you roll the damage dice again. Once more for x2, twice more for x3, etc.

[Sharkman1231]

I take his stuff and put it in the corner (E-1 if it matters), carrying it would put my at a medium load.

Could I get a map of the explored dungeon?

I cast Cure minor once
13/14

[Sharkman1231]

Going back the way I came, I go to where Bernie was last time. And poke all the walls and floor with my pole as I go there.

[Sharkman1231]

I'm going to sleep, I've got school. I need some sleep.

[Tanaric]

Everything is where it was before. Are you opening the door to the room?

I can give you a map if you still need it.

[Sharkman1231]

Yeah, I'll wait on the map. I tap the door with my pole then open to door.

[Tanaric]

Map:http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/2004/sharkmapv.jpg

Opening the door reveals... welll, Bernie's room. You remember Bernie, right? :smallcool:

Initiative: [roll0]

[Sharkman1231]

I kinda said I was going to Bernie's room... or at least the one that was occupied by him before.

"Greeting Bernard, I hope we shall have fun together."

Init:[roll0]

Come on, do well!!

Darn!

[Sharkman1231]

Where is he in the room?

[Tanaric]

Right. Room 14 is Bernie's room.

He moves up to you and breathes some oddly viscous electricity on you. [roll0] electric damage, reflex half, entangled for [roll1] rounds.

Edit: He's in the doorway now.

[Sharkman1231]

Argh!

reflex: [roll0]

[Sharkman1231]

I slash:
[roll0]
[roll1] damage

I'm saving my move action, I need to see if it hits first before I do anything.

[Sharkman1231]

I'll assume he goes splat. I don't use my move action, and will take more damage. Yay :smallannoyed:

[Tanaric]

Yep, ker-splat.

[roll0] electric damage.

[Sharkman1231]

Did I make the reflex save? (I probably did, but still)
7/14 hp If I made the save
I cast cure light
[roll0]
Did I get anything besides 150xp?

[Tanaric]

You made the save.

150 xp and chainmail.

There's another door in the northeast corner of the room, likely marked if you're keeping your own map.

[Sharkman1231]

I grab the chainmail and put it in the starting room, and I go over to where I put the other stuff and I put that stuff in the starting room too. I then go to the door that is at the end of the east hallway. Same poking routine.

[Sharkman1231]

I'm going to bed now. See you later. Seems I can get through an encounter a day, not bad.

[Tanaric]

As you pass the split, you see that it goes to the north for ten feet before turning east, and to the south for ten feet before turning west. Five feet to the south, there is a large blue notecard pinned to the wall.

You haven't yet reached the door at this point.

[Sharkman1231]

I ignore the notecard (for now) and keep going.

[Tanaric]

At the door, the hall continues south for ten feet before turning east.

Opening the door reveals the following room:{table]|A_|B_|C_|D_|E_|F_
1||||||
2||||||
3||||||
4||||1||
5||||||
6||||||[/table]

There is a door at A-6, west side, which you are just outside of, another at E-1, and another at F-4.

There is a kobold in the room, garbed in a chain shirt and holding a short sword.

Initiative: [roll0]

[Sharkman1231]

"Good evening, my reptilian friend, let us see who is more accomplish in swordplay."

init:
[roll0]

[Tanaric]

He moves into the doorway, shadows twisting about his body as he goes. He has 20% concealment from your attacks.

A small fire elemental appears behind you, lasting only long enough to distract you.

He strikes at you. [roll0] vs flatfooted, for [roll1].

If it hits, make a will save.

[Sharkman1231]

Ouch, that could have hurt pretty badly.
[roll0] miss chance, 1-20 miss
[roll1] (ka-slash)
[roll2]

"You've made your move, here is mine."

[Tanaric]

Miss.

His sword seems to double as he swings at you.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[roll2] if either hits.
An additional [roll3] cold if both hit.

Ahahahah... come along little dice, we're taking a trip to the microwave!

[Sharkman1231]

Wow, that could have killed me.
[roll0]
[roll1]

"That could have left a mark..."

[Sharkman1231]

Concealment still?
If so
[roll0]
Misses on 1-10,12-19,32,84

[Tanaric]

Miss.

He swings at you again, blade erupting with flames as he does.

[roll0] for [roll1] + [roll2] fire damage.

[Sharkman1231]

Dang, I'm at 4 hp. I rage
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Tanaric]

Hit.

Smash. Grind. Mash. Make-paste-out-of.

150 xp, some very bloody gear.

[Sharkman1231]

New personal record for damage, and not a crit either. I turn my divine favor into cure light
[roll0]

[Tanaric]

Where does the +5 come from? :smallconfused:

[Sharkman1231]

I cast my other cure minor
13/14
I have 1 spell left (virtue)
I wait until fatigue is gone.
I then check out the blue notecard, first by poking it with my stick.

[Sharkman1231]

My previous health(4) plus caster level(1)

[Tanaric]

I thought that was the total amount healed, figuring you misstyped your caster level with your strength mod or something...

Anyway, nothing happens when you poke it.

[Sharkman1231]

I read the card.

Hmm... I shouldn't be able to tell the color of the card if I'm using darkvision, but I'm not complaining.:smallbiggrin:

[Tanaric]

Ah. You're using darkvision.

You can't read the card then.

[Sharkman1231]

I take my torch out, use my flint and steel, light it then read the card.

[Tanaric]

"Burn me for help in times of trouble."

[Sharkman1231]

I go grab the kobolds stuff and put it in the start room. I go open the door in the room the kobold was in, the one at f-4

i also put out the torch

[Tanaric]

You go east for ten feet, north for ten feet, east for ten feet, south for twenty feet, then east for ten feet. To the north, the hall runs for thirty feet before turning west. To the south, it runs for ten feet before turning west. Five feet to the south, there is another notecard pinned to the wall. You can't tell what color it is.

[Sharkman1231]

I poke it with my stick, if nothing happens, I take it it and don't read it. I continue down the hallway.

Edit: wait a sec, gotta reread the directions.

[Sharkman1231]

Okay, I start going south.

[Sharkman1231]

I got through my one encounter for the day(night), it's time for sleep.

[Tanaric]

You go west for sixty feet, then north for ten feet before finding yourself outside an open door. (Psst, it's the kobold's room.)

[Sharkman1231]

I do down the nearest hallway I haven't explored yet.

[Sharkman1231]

I turn my virtue into cure minor
14/14 hp
no spells
no rage
no reroll ability
1 round freedom of movement

I'm almost at the end of my rope. :smalleek:

[Tanaric]

I believe the closest hall you haven't explored is back at the split to the north and south. You go north, then west for thirty feet, then north for ten feet, then east for thirty feet, then north for twenty feet, then west for fifteen feet before finding yourself before a closed door.

[Sharkman1231]

I open the door.

Init if needed:[roll0]

[Tanaric]

Opening the door reveals the following room:{table]|A_|B_|C_
1|||
2|||
3|||
4|||
5|||
6|||[/table]

There is a door at A-5, and another at C-5, which you are just outside of.

The room appears to be empty.

[Sharkman1231]

I step into the room.
This is not going to end well.

[Tanaric]

No... no it's not.

You're met with a stream of acid. [roll0] acid damage, reflex half.

There's a dog-sized, bug-shaped construct on the wall at C-2, +10 elevation.

[Sharkman1231]

"HOLY ****"

reflex-[roll0]

[Tanaric]

You pass.

Also, initiative: [roll0]

[Sharkman1231]

I drop my sword,I move to A-6 while pulling out a javelin, then I throw it:
[roll0]
damage:[roll1]

[Tanaric]

A solid hit. It looks pretty damaged.

It crawls down the wall and scuttles over to B-5.

Edit: It bites at you, but I forgot to include the roll.

[Tanaric]

Bite: [roll0] for [roll1] damage.

[Sharkman1231]

I pull out my warhammer
taking an AoO
[roll0]
[roll1] damage

[Tanaric]

If you mean you're taking an AoO for the bug's actions: how? What did it do to provoke one?

If you mean you're taking an AoO for drawing a weapon: drawing weapons doesn't provoke an AoO. Sheathing them does, however.

You miss. It bites you again. [roll0] for [roll1] damage.

[Sharkman1231]

That's good to know.
6/14
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Tanaric]

And it's down.

150 xp.

[Sharkman1231]

I'm completly lost. I head down the nearest hallway I've not traveled through yet.

[Sharkman1231]

Could I get an updated map?

[Tanaric]

Sure. Tomorrow, probably. I'm working on the notes for floor 2 right now.

[Sharkman1231]

Sounds good

[Tanaric]

Sorry for the wait. Been busy.

Map coming shortly.

[Tanaric]

Map:http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/6038/sharkmap.jpg

The metal bug you fought was in room 11.

[Sharkman1231]

I go through the other door in room 11.

[Tanaric]

Sorry, lost track of this.

Opening the door reveals a hall running to the west for twenty feet before teeing to the north and south. After ten feet, it splits north.

[Sharkman1231]

I go 10 ft and then go north.

[Tanaric]

The hall goes north for thirty feet before teeing to the east and west. To the west, it runs for ten feet before turning south. To the east, it runs for thirty feet before turning south. After twenty feet, it splits north.

[Sharkman1231]

I go east then south.

[Tanaric]

The hall goes south for twenty feet before turning east.

If you continue on:You go east for ten feet, then north for fifty feet before the hallway turns west. It runs for sixty feet before turning south. After twenty feet, it splits south.

[Sharkman1231]

I continue on, going the 60 ft and turning south.

Edit: Scratch that, I'll go south after 20 ft.

[Tanaric]

At the split south, the hall goes for ten feet before turning west. At the bend, there is a large green notecard pinned to the wall.

[Sharkman1231]

I keep going. No reading, I'm in too volitile of a position to take any risks.

[Tanaric]

West ten feet, south ten feet, east ten feet, south teen feet, T split.

To the east, it runs for ten feet before turning south. To the west, it runs for thirty feet before turning south. After twenty feet, it splits south.

[Sharkman1231]

I go east then south.

[Tanaric]

That route with circle you back north to the hall you just left. Do you still want to take it?

(I apologize for the lack of a map, but there are a lot of threads to update and far too few hours in the day that I can do it.)

[Sharkman1231]

Ack, so confusing. I need to make this easier, can I wander through the whole dungeon then decide where to go from there?

[Tanaric]

Yeah, sure. Let me find a blank map.

Edit:http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/8983/mapqdp.jpg

Colored dots are notes of that color, red circles are bullseyes painted on the floor.

[Sharkman1231]

I go the room that is 25 feet west of the room that is the farthest NE and to the door on the east side and open it.

[Sharkman1231]

I've been overwhelmed with semester exams, posts will be reletivly infrequent until Friday.

[Tanaric]

Er... sorry, I'm a bit confused by that somehow. I don't see a door 25 feet to the west of the NE room. :smallconfused:

Feel free to put a dot on the map in MSPaint where you want to go or something. Once I know where you want to be, it should be easy to keep track of where you're going again.
