[ToS] Thelas's ToS dungeon -- Instance 1

[Thelas]

I believe (because these are the ones I've been sent) the PCs for this dungeon are:

9mm's Yojimbo
Pharaoh's Fist's Imhotep
Adumbration's Drelagth
Olo's Sahir

All PCs, please post in this thread.
Once that is done, we can begin.

"And might I say what excellent weather we are having?"

It was a very dramatic fight, if memory serves. I won in the nick of time, before he managed to cast anti-life shell.

This is actually two three way fights. The second one includes Sahir. The other includes a tactic that Saph assured me was illegal, contrary to the current ruling. So we started over.

I know it says in the first post that this won't count, but for the second fight (the one with Sahir actually in it) on we decided it did (via PM). Go figure.

I am ready.

[Thelas]

This is a trap and puzzle dungeon, the first trap is the room you are currently in, yadda yadda.


So... after you get not-too-gently tossed into a portal out of Sigil, you end up in a 35 by 35 ft room with a door at the north.
You may choose your starting positions in the south half of the room.
Pay no attention to the numbers on the map... no attention at all... *waves hand*

[Olo Demonsbane]

Do I have my minions? (Otherwise I would have a Greater Shadow and a Spectre with me.)

I will start in 158371586-41209586.

Have our characters already met and do they understand the others' basic abilities?

[Pharaoh's Fist]

I'll start right south of Olo.

[Thelas]

If your minions are NOT summoned or called creatures, then yes. Otherwise no.

You haven't met each other yet, but feel free to discuss stuff now.

[Olo Demonsbane]

They are not. My Shadow will start directly left of me, and my spectere to the right.

Erm...Hello. Who are you gentlemen?

[Pharaoh's Fist]

"Allow me to introduce myself; I am a man of wealth and taste."

[Olo Demonsbane]

"Allow me to introduce myself; I am a man of wealth and taste."

:smalltongue:

[9mm]

"Yojimbo."

I'll start to next to Aumberdation

[Adumbration]

My guy (jeah, I should've named him easier) begins 10 feet south of Olo's character.

Sorry about lagging behind... I'm in a fever currently, so my posting capabilities are impaired.

[Thelas]

*hums*

*hums*

What, you expected something to happen, or something? Nah, why don't you try doing something.
Hint: Doorstexistrforaapreason.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Sahir uses his Summon Elemental feat to summon a Medium-sized Thomil. He has it walk in front of us to the doors. Anything happen?

[Thelas]

At the space directly in front of the doors, a ten-foot pit opens.
Reflex save to avoid, please.
Please note that the effects are in no way over, no matter the result of your save.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Reflex save: [roll0]

[Pharaoh's Fist]

"It seems that this place is dangerous. Anyone care for spell of flying?"

[Thelas]

The elemental takes [roll0] falling damage.
This is then followed by a 10x5x10 foot block (the exact shape of the pit) falling.

It takes [roll1] crushing damage, and will then die if it doesn't have some way out of the stone.
Also, is anyone adjacent to the pit? (The pit is [41209586, 158371581] to [41209587, 158371581]).
Otherwise, you can decide on your actions now. (No need for initiative or anything, though.)

[Pharaoh's Fist]

Also, is anyone adjacent to the pit? (The pit is [41209586, 158371581] to [41209587, 158371581]).

Oh God, so many numbers!

[Olo Demonsbane]

With it's burrow speed, can it go up through the stone? Or to the side, or down or something?

[Thelas]

It can roll another reflex save to do that before being smashed to an elemental pulp.

[Olo Demonsbane]

That'll definitely help...:smallamused:

Reflex save [roll0]

[Thelas]

Stop wasting all your good rolls on things with a +0 Reflex save modifier!
(Sorry, but it's smashed to a pulp.)

And now if nobody is adjacent to the pit (which is still where it was last time I posted) everyone can decide how they will get to the door or whatever you're doing.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Well, just to make sure the trap IS resetable, I summon another earth elemental and send him over.

If he is smashed, I summon an Orglash and have it fly over to see if the trap is triggered by proximity.

[Thelas]

The trap does not reset -- ie the block is still stuck in the former-pit. However, as the earth elemental passes through [41209586, 158371582] a disintegrate beam hits it.
Note: square was chosen for convenience, since it doesn't matter

Touch attack - [roll0] (as per disintegrate, the spell.)
Damage on failed save: [roll1]
Successful save: [roll2]

[9mm]

I don't think we're the only ones here...
Yojimbo will switch to hear the air stance to gain blindsense 30, also spot check to see if I can determine the magic beam of death(TM)'s origin.

[roll0]

[Thelas]

You can easily discern that the magic beam of death came from a magic trap. (That is, I'm not even requiring a check because I intended for that to be obvious.)

Observers

There's nothing in this tag. I'm putting it here... well, you'd better be able to guess why.

[Olo Demonsbane]

And, because I can, I send through another elemental. This one I send through the floor and have it burrow under the door, come back, under, and tell me what it sees.

The elemental lords owe me a few favors...let me see what we will face next...

[Thelas]

It can't find the next room. All it sees is stone. (Yes, it is able to burrow through the stone around where the next room would be.)
Observers

False door.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Well then, it tells me that, then tries to walk on the area to be death-rayed.

Assuming it is, I summon an Orglash to blast the area with cones of cold.

[Olo Demonsbane]

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]

[Thelas]

Which squares are the area to be death-rayed, in your opinion?

OOC (anyone who wants can read, including players)

Last update for night.
There will be actual stuff tommorow, hopefully.
*disappears in cloud of parentheses*

[Pharaoh's Fist]

The elemental lords owe me a few favors...let me see what we will face next...

"That and he seems to possess an unabiding hatred for his lesser minions."

[9mm]

"That and he seems to possess an unabiding hatred for his lesser minions."

Don't they all?

[Olo Demonsbane]

The 2 in front of the doors.

[Thelas]

Please inform me of the order in which you intend to check those squares:
- the already checked one first
- the not-yet-checked one first
- the elemental was Large and I wasn't told
- both of them simultaneously through a casting of enlarge person
- look, it's a mind crush!

[Olo Demonsbane]

- the already checked one first
- the not-yet-checked one first

The not-yet checked one first.

[Thelas]

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]

You know the drill...
RTA, failed save, passed save, if you really want you can roll a save or just assume he'll die and move on.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Yeah, he dies.

I now summon an Orglash to fly over the same square, 5ft elevation, and see if it is still triggered.

[Thelas]

The trap is not triggered. Also, I should mention that the ceiling is at 10 ft elevation.

Observers

That's because it's not auto-reset. :)

[Olo Demonsbane]

OK, the Orglash attempts to destroy...wait, what is the door made of?

[Adumbration]

Maneuvers readied:

Avalanche of blades
Shadow Blink
Iron heart surge
Bloodletting strike
Doom charge
Mind strike
Bonesplitting strike
Bonecrusher
Mind over body
Rabid bear strike
Drain vitality
Moment of Perfect mind
Counter charge


"Has anyone seen a Demon's maw feature yet? I have a feeling that it will be a big part of the decór of this place."

[Pharaoh's Fist]

"So... how's trap testing going?"

[Thelas]

The door is made of... what's it called... obdurium, I believe.

Observers

Magically hardened, of course.
hp 120 * 12 = 1440
hardness 60.

[Olo Demonsbane]

:smalleek:

In that case, the Orglash attempts to open the door.

There appears to be a death ray trap in front of the door...it is not triggered when one flys or, I presume, jumps over it though.

[Thelas]

The orglash is flying, correct?

[Olo Demonsbane]

The orglash is flying, correct?

That is correct.

[Thelas]

(Reminder: the ceiling is 10-ft high).
As your elemental hits the door, it opens onto a wall with various expressions of laughing in various languages written on it. At the same time, two spears are summoned, and attack both the flying square and the non-flying one.
Attack on elemental: [roll0]
Damage on hit: [roll1]
In addition, if it hits, the elemental is subject to a greater dispelling effect at +15. If this matters, you can roll it yourself.

So now that you've found the false door, what will you do?

[Pharaoh's Fist]

Suggestion: Summon an air elemental, have it press against the walls and search for a hidden door.

[Olo Demonsbane]

I'll just say that it is dispelled.

I'll follow Pharaoh's suggestion and summon another air elemental. He will move around the outer edges and try to find a hidden door.

[Thelas]

Search checks of any sort, or taking 20?

[Olo Demonsbane]

Taking 20. It isn't very good at searching otherwise.

[Thelas]

Its modifier, if you would?
(People, if you're taking 20, tell me your mod and/or result, please.)

[Olo Demonsbane]

Its modifier, if you would?
(People, if you're taking 20, tell me your mod and/or result, please.)

Ah, sorry.

It's result is 20.

[Thelas]

OOC

Sorry for the delay, I've been (and still am, somewhat) busy.

Please list every square in the room in the order you're searching them.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Since I can summon the elementals at will, I just keep doing so until the entire room is searched.

I'll start at the top left and sweep across the room, then, starting in the next square down, go all the way across in the other direction, and so on.

[Thelas]

[Pharaoh's Fist]

"I can disintegrate that door if necessary."

[Olo Demonsbane]

Well, let's let an elemental check it out first...

Sahir summons an earth elemental and sends it through the secret door, ordering it to come back after it sees what is on the other side.

[Thelas]

It returns safely.

[Olo Demonsbane]

What did you see?

[Thelas]

Room, two doors out, nothing else visible.

[Olo Demonsbane]

I direct the elemental to open the door for me.

[Olo Demonsbane]

As there appear to be no monsters in here...I search the place with Elementals, assuming there are no objections?

[Thelas]

Do your elementals have any continuous magical effects of any sort on them?

[Olo Demonsbane]

...As in a spell or magic item? Not to my knowledge...there IS the fact that they ARE summons...

The elemental winks out upon entering any of the marked squares.
