Neverending Dungeon - Zugen

[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=177807)

[h2doh]

I will spend a few minutes tying the liquid sunlight pellet(shines as a torch) to the collar of my armor using twine and what i can find in my spell component pouch(wire, bone, etc). I will take 10 for the simple craft/use rope check.

How does the door open? can it be braced by driving pitons into the bottom of it or can I drive them into the door jam to secure the door?

either way, I open the door with my 10' pole and step outside after checking that square with my sliding pole(slide across then try to push through the surface).

Where possible i will form a 22' pole and use it to check the squares 20' away from me for hidden pit traps/ trip wires / magical proximity triggers, etc by sliding the pole across the square then pushing on it. I will do the same procedure on the walls and ceiling. (hopefully I wont be crushed by any falling blocks doing this)

[Sliver]

Doors are sliding. Can't give you answer about the other questions though..

What is the radius of illumination the pallet produces? I will assume as a torch for the next description..

The hall goes east and south. To the east it goes beyond sight. 10ft into the hall it splits north and south. 30ft into it (20ft from the split) there is a door on the northern side.

South it goes 30ft before T-ing east and west. 20ft down there is a split east.

[h2doh]

Pellet produces light as a torch. I head south.

[Sliver]

At the first split it goes east 10ft and turns north. There is a door right after the split, eastern side.

What is your hall-walk procedure? Poke floor where you go? Poke up to X hight of walls? Nothing? Search taking 10? Taking 20?

[h2doh]

Where possible i will form a 22' pole and use it to check the squares 20' away from me for hidden pit traps/ trip wires / magical proximity triggers, etc by sliding the pole across the square then pushing on it. I will do the same procedure on the walls and ceiling. (hopefully I wont be crushed by any falling blocks doing this)

i will be using the 22' pole as i walk.

[h2doh]

I will take the first split to the east and go to the door. i will put my pole & sack down just to the north after checking that square for traps and open the door while i am standing to the north of the door. i have my shield and longsword in hand.
I think that i am 10' east of the door of the first room i started in and 15' south of it. 5' north of the door.


edit1 thanks by the way, i am learning by doing here.

[Sliver]

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

4||||B|H[/table]
There is a door at A-2, which you are just outside of, another at E-4, south side and another at E-3. There is a human wearing a chain shirt and 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.
Initiative:[roll0]

[h2doh]

[Sliver]

[Sliver]

You can't roll in editing.. (if you try to preview posts where you roll, it will screw the rolls too)

[h2doh]

confirm crit of charge
[roll0]
scimitar[roll1]
punishing stance...dont remember if this applies[roll2]

[Sliver]

You slash at the beast, your weapon goes through and it vanishes. The man casts a spell and many colors spray over you. Will save.

[h2doh]

using moment of perfect mind
[roll0]

[Sliver]

Save, your turn.

[h2doh]

5' step, activate saphire nightmare blade

edit ....i think that you may have a kill today

[Sliver]

Oh I already had a few kills today.. It's tradition :smallbiggrin:

He casts defensively.

[roll0] (DC 16. If succeed give me will save DC13. If you fail you pretty much dead, if you succeed or he fails to cast, your turn.)

Still lucky.. Not dead yet..

[h2doh]

thank you dice gods.

swift to get my maneuvers back, attack at the end of it.
[roll0]
[roll1]

confirm crit:[roll2]


hurray for having a chance at a will save again


edit: :smalltongue:

[Sliver]

He moves back and casts a spell!

[roll0]
[roll1]

[h2doh]

This is too fun, wish i had started playing before this.

i dont know how he moved. if not 5' step:
aoo[roll0][roll1]
if I can, charge[roll2][roll3]

if he did 5' step follow and saphire nightmare blade:
concentration [roll4]
atk[roll5] flatfoot if successful, -2atk if not
[roll6]
saphire nightmare blade[roll7]

[Sliver]

5ft step. You miss, SNB wasted. He moves again, casting a spell.

[roll1]

[h2doh]

5' step, swift recover & attack
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Sliver]

Defensive casting, DC15: [roll0]

If succeed: [roll1] [roll2]

[h2doh]

hm.....wish i could hit the broad side of this wizard
follow, drop scimitar, use charnel touch
[roll0] vs touch
[roll1]

[Sliver]

And his down..

150xp, longsword, chain shirt.

[h2doh]

woot, tasty, tasty xp.

switch out the studded leather for the chain shirt, put the leather and longsword in my sack after collecting my things. I will heal up then head to the door directly north of this room.

maneuvers recovered, Punishing stance up, shield and scimitar ready. open the door "...time to toss the dice"

init[roll0] if needed

[Sliver]

The one to the east of the starting room?

[h2doh]

yes,



minimum characters for post

[Sliver]

As you exit, just before the intersection the floor falls out after your poking.

[h2doh]

is this 5' south of the intersection that is just east of the room I started in?
I will go back around past the room i started in and head east from there.

[Sliver]

10ft east after the intersection, another part of the floor falls to reveal a 20ft deep pit.

[h2doh]

How much weight would a 10' pole support? I was hoping to put the pole across the pit and balance across it. if I can't do this I will knot my rope, set the grapple and climb down and then up the other side. If possible I will set my sack on the other side of the pit by tying it to my pole and setting it across first.

take 10 use rope(12)
take 10 balance(16)



I just don't want to risk breaking my oil flasks.


I'm just glad that I don't have to RP this....I'm using way too much wisdom with this.

[Sliver]

You do realize it is a DC5 jump check? (with running start)

You get to the other side and reach the door..

[h2doh]

Yeah I do, dc10 without the running start too.
I just reread goblins so was pulling a MinMax.


Put my sack beside the door, equip shield & scimitar, punishing stance on, open the door.


This is my map so far (http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af139/h2doh/Neverending.jpg?t=1263068078) my bag is on the cursor

Your rolls are not with you today.

Init[roll0]

confirm crit [roll3]
[roll4]


lol shame I cant reverse those rolls. bring on the pain.
by the way, where is the burninator?

[Sliver]

My rolls are never with me.. That is why I'm less deadly than Tanaric.. Also, he knows what he is doing.. Anyway..

Miss. He opens his mouth and though the flames a blast of electricity comes right at you! After the initial shock, you find out that he set you on electricity! Oh, and it's harder to move! Your entangled by electricity! (and get the entangled penalties)

[roll0] electricity damage. You are entangled for [roll]1d4[/roll rounds. Your turn.

[Sliver]

The electricity damage can be halved with a DC15 reflex check.

And.. the rounds.. [roll0] Gah.. lame..

[h2doh]

oh that sucks, does the entangling go away after the time is up?

reflex [roll0]

saphire nightmare blade
concentration[roll1]
attack[roll2]
dmg[roll3]
maneuver dmg[roll4]


note to self: find out if i can use charnel touch with maneuvers

"I am having positive feelings about this guy."
"swing and a miss"




.....I hope you like puns. :smalltongue:

[Sliver]

"You are entangled for X rounds" means that after X rounds you are no longer entangled..

Anyway, you miss. The electricity hurts you for [roll0] damage (no save). As the entanglement passes, the creature breathes fire towards you [roll1] reflex DC15 for half (rounded up). If you take damage from it (even if you save but take half) you are entangled by fire for [roll2] rounds.

Also, I believe you can't as maneuvers are actions that give you an attack action, while a charnel touch is not an attack action..

[h2doh]

i think i am starting to look like a charred roast

reflex[roll0]


drop my scimitar and use charnel touch
[roll1] touch attack
[roll2]



I am seeing a pattern here......whif, whif

:smalleek: with these rolls i would be a terror as dm. :smallcool:

[Sliver]

Hit.

You take [roll0] fire damage and the entanglement is over.. for a sec..

Another one! [roll1] fire damage, same save. [roll2] rounds.

[h2doh]

this is disgusting, 0hp if i miss the reflex save.

reflex [roll0]

charnel touch him
[roll1] touch
[roll2]


Trogdor the Burninator has to be the insight for this guy.

[Sliver]

Miss.

[roll0] (no save) [roll1] (same save). And when you confirm your character died right now, I will be off to bed!

[h2doh]

shape soulmeld(rage claws)


reflex[roll0]

5' step, touch myself[roll1]

0hp.

good night, shame i couldn't be your final kill tonight

glad i took the advice about rageclaws on the recruitment thread.

[Sliver]

Ah soon! We will finish this one!

[roll0] damage. Entangled over. [roll1] save. Entangled for [roll2] rounds.

[h2doh]

GL tomorrow!

[Sliver]

So you admit defeat? Afraid to finish this one now?

[h2doh]

nm then.

reflex[roll0]

5' step(towards door) touch myself[roll1]

-2 hp....gonna have to kill this jerk

[Sliver]

[roll0] no save. [roll1] with save.

[h2doh]

ew......reflex[roll0]
touch myself[roll1]
move out door that i entered& jump pit
jump[roll2]
-2 before death by pit
lol killed by the pit.

never mind, you put me to -10

[Sliver]

I believe you got killed when you failed to save (8 damage.. After being at -2) but the pit was just the finishing touch..

DEAD!

[h2doh]

:yuk: yeah, yeah, yeah, i miscounted. good job, i think that i want to restart with this guy though. am i allowed to do that?

[Sliver]

:smallbiggrin:

Yeah, you may. Just write your post but I will respond to it when I wake up..

[h2doh]

Wakes up with a splitting headace that passes quickley
What a dream, now where am I?.....and why does this look familiar


Ok then, starting new i will head south from the starting room to where it splits east and west checking as i go with my pole. I will head around to the west until i hit the end of the hall, if it splits i will head west. if i cannot go west i will head south and follow until i cannot go any farther. i will jump pits, step over trip wires and try to jump over triggers for magic traps if i can. I will ignore anything else but will note where it is. hopefully this is not too much information for the post....i want to explore a bit first before i risk dying (....was trogdor gesalt or something? that was scary.)


....And why is my hair standing up on end?

[Sliver]

From what I see, with your healing and all.. You can just ask for the entire map of the halls if you want..

Edit: Also, yes, you can ask Tanaric to DM for you..

[h2doh]

I did not mean to imply otherise than asking if Tanaric could DM for a bit. Sleep conspired against me however.

Could I have the map of the halls then? i will try to beat all of the rooms other than the one with 'Trogdor'(grumble grumble) in it.

On a side note, good sleep?

[Sliver]

It was okay..

Here is the map. Non of the rooms or traps are marked (neither are pits)
http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/4493/mapxx.jpg
Normal colored circles are notes with the same color. The red hollow circles are bullseye marked on the floor.

[h2doh]

Well now, my mapping skills are horrible. Let's enter into the southern most room that is in the middle of the map from the south door. Has anyone without unlimited healing gotten through this floor?


Init if necessary [roll0]

:smallfurious: Bravo, ONE HIT KILL..........I cant even run screeming like a little girl either.

I think my ego can take another run at that though.

[Sliver]

Initiative: [roll0]

[h2doh]

[Sliver]

And down he goes...

150xp, 300gp, ripper, javelin, chainmail, Sundark Goggles.

[h2doh]

mmmmmm xp *drools*
I will put everything in my sack to drag around for now. I will head to the room to the east opening the door from the east. I am actually hoping to not have 1 hit kills, they are always anticlimatic, kind of like save or dies really.

I mean the room just west of this one.

[Sliver]

East of your current room? There is no room at the south east of the map.. :smallconfused: Do you mean south west? The color sprayer room?

[h2doh]

yes the colour sprayer room....aparently i have not woken yet

OMG that sooooo should not have happened.

5' step, refresh maneuvers, attack
[roll0]
[roll1]


well i am just glad that this guy is not as optimized as he could be....illusions are scary things to deal with.

[Sliver]

Woot!


I think i am done for now, thanks for now. Also, i dont want to cost you too much more of your mojo killing me off. Good luck in your death dealing.


You have re-kindled my fear of scaly and orc-kind though. I was getting far too content. :smallbiggrin:

[h2doh]

I will head up and take care of that fire-breather, entering in through the southern door again.
