NeverEnding Dungeon - Link

[term1nally s1ck]

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.

[Ranger Mattos]

I am wielding my longsword and shield. I search the room.

question: are you makign the check, or do I?

[term1nally s1ck]

You make your checks, I'll have more than enough to do.

Speaking of which:

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]

Nothing appears to happen as you search the room.

[Ranger Mattos]

ok, search check: [roll0]. Do I find anything?

[term1nally s1ck]

21 total?

No.

[Ranger Mattos]

Hmm... the question you posed at the beginning leads me to think that there is something, but my check is not high enough to find it. So... I take 20 for a 29. Find anything?

[term1nally s1ck]

Perhaps..

[roll0]

EDIT: No.

[Ranger Mattos]

Dang it. Ok, I put away my weapons and take out my 10-ft pole. I walk over and poke the door a couple of times. Does anything happen?

EDIT: does the door have a lock on it?

What was that roll for?

[term1nally s1ck]

The door is a large sheet of lead, weighted to slide easily. It slides into the wall, as far as you can tell. It is not locked.

You don't know what that roll was for....

[Ranger Mattos]

I slightly open the door, walk back 5 feet, and open it the rest of the way with the pole.

And no I don't.

[term1nally s1ck]

Nothing happens as you open that door. The light from the torch doesn't spill far into the corridor though, and there are no sources of light in view. You can see about 5' to the East and South, and the corridors seem to go on for a fair distance.

And no, I was telling you that you don't know what that roll was for. Not IC, and I'm not telling you OOC. :smalltongue:

[Ranger Mattos]

I grab the torch, walk through the door, and look around. Do I see anyhting?

[term1nally s1ck]

Yep.

Outside the door, you can see a hallway extending 80' to the East, and a hallway to the south extending 30'.

To the East you see:
A North/South split after 10', a door on the North wall after 30', and a North/South split 60' away, and at the furthest reaches of the light, 80' away, there's a turn to the South, and a door on the Eastern wall.

To the South you see: A split to the East after 20', and a T-junction East/West at the end for the corridor, 30' away.

[Ranger Mattos]

I move to the east, to the first split, and look down the north nd south pasages. What do I see there?

[term1nally s1ck]

At the junction you can see:

To the North:
20' corridor ending in a turn to the east.

To the South:
20 foot corridor ending in a turn to the west, with a door on the eastern wall 15' in.

[Ranger Mattos]

Ok, I shift my torch to my offhand and draw my longsword. Then I go down the south passage and look down the turn.

[term1nally s1ck]

As you begin to move down the corridor, the floor gives way under your feet. Make a reflex save.

[Ranger Mattos]

ok, [roll0].

Please tell me that's good enough.

[term1nally s1ck]

You manage to jump back to safety as the floor crumbles. A 20' deep pit is revealed, 5' across.

[Ranger Mattos]

Yay. I back up 20 ft, then attempt to jump across the pit. I can take 10 on that, right? So I succeed in jumping it. Then I proceed to walk down the corridor.

[term1nally s1ck]

At the end you look to the west and see a 10' corridor, with a North/South T junction at the end.

[Ranger Mattos]

I go back to the door I passed and check for traps

search chec: [roll0] Do I find anything?

[term1nally s1ck]

Nope. It appears to be a a harmless door.

[Ranger Mattos]

If it is locked, I make an Open Lock check. [roll0]

Otherwise, I walk through the door.

[term1nally s1ck]

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

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]

[Ranger Mattos]

Yay, combat! Initiative: [roll0]

[Ranger Mattos]

I set the guy to my Dodge feat.
Move action: move to C3. Standard: Attack
attack roll: [roll0] damage: [roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

The beast disappears as you swing at it.

The human raises his hand, and a was of color passes over you. Will save, please.

[Ranger Mattos]

Crap. [roll0]

Do you specifically make these encounters for the person you're DMing?

[term1nally s1ck]

Nope, everyone fights the same overoptimised encounters. Thank Tanaric.

Well, you're Unconscious for [roll0] rounds, stunned and blind for [roll1] rounds, and blind for one more after that.

[term1nally s1ck]

He CoupdeGrace's your body a few times, you take:

[roll0]

[roll1]

[roll2]

[roll3]

For each, make a Fort save at 10+the damage or die.

[Ranger Mattos]

Ok, I'm dead. Just Coup de Grace me now.

saves:
1d20+3

EDIT: What happened?

[term1nally s1ck]

You can't edit a roll into a post. Got to make a new one to roll.

[Ranger Mattos]

ok, here
[roll0]

[roll1]

[roll2]

[roll3]

[roll4]

[Ranger Mattos]

So did I die a painful stabby death or not?

[term1nally s1ck]

Well, you took 31 damage, and if that didn't kill you, you failed your fort save vs death on one of them, too.

Want to play again?

[Ranger Mattos]

Sure, do I start at the first room again?

[Ranger Mattos]

Ok, then if I restart, I am assuming everything is the same. I walk out the door with the torch and go east, south, and to the door.

[term1nally s1ck]

Make a reflex save..

[Ranger Mattos]

Oh, yeah, forgot about that...
[roll0]
If I make it then I jump over the pit and continue walking towards the door.

[term1nally s1ck]

Opening the door reveals the following room:

Initiative:[roll0]

[Ranger Mattos]

Ok, [roll0]

I close the door (move action), drop the torch (free action), and draw my bow.

[term1nally s1ck]

You hear some shuffling inside. Your turn.

[Ranger Mattos]

I ope nthe door. I'm assuming I see him, so I shoot.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

As you open the door, he appears to have moved. he's now in B2, the creature has disappeared, and he is ready for you. A wave of color washes over you, make a will save.

[Ranger Mattos]

Ahh, I should have expected this.

[roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

Well, you pass, and hit him, but he's still alive.

he hits you with a ray of cold:

[roll0] touch attack.
[roll1]

[Ranger Mattos]

Hah! Miss!

I attack:
[roll0]
[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

He leans his head to one side, as your arrow speeds past.

"Taste the Rainbow"

Make a will save, please.

[Ranger Mattos]

Crap. [roll0]

Did I taste it?

EDIT: apperently not :smallsmile:

[Ranger Mattos]

Oh, and I attack him again.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

HE dies.

150Xp, a chain shirt, and a longsword.

[Ranger Mattos]

Yay. I take the chain shirt, put it on, and leave my studded leather and teh longsword behind. (NEver mind, that would put me into medium encumberence.) I look around the rooom. Do I see anything?

[term1nally s1ck]

2 doors, and a dead human.

[Ranger Mattos]

Ok, I go pick up the torch I dropped and approach the E3 door. I check for traps.

search check: [roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

No traps. That you find, anyway....

[Ranger Mattos]

I try again. [roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

You don't find any traps.

[Ranger Mattos]

I go through the door. What do I see?

[term1nally s1ck]

To the south, the corridor tiurns west after 10'. To the north, it turns east after 10'.

[Ranger Mattos]

I go up the north corridor to the intersection. What is down the east one?

[term1nally s1ck]

A door to the south after 15', and a turn north after 20'.

[Ranger Mattos]

I go to the door and check it for traps. [roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

A beautiful woman appears at the door..she wanders towards you, but as your back hits the wall, and she makes contact with your body, you realise you found one..

No traps..

[Ranger Mattos]

Ok, I drop the torch to the ground adn draw my bow, ready for combat. Then I open the door and see...

[term1nally s1ck]

Opening the door reveals the following room:
{table]|A_|B_|C_|D_|E_
1|||||
2|||||
3||||1|

5||||| [/table]
There is a door at B5, which you are just outside of, and another at B1. There is an orc in the middle of the room. It holds a Ripper and wears a chainmail, as well as a pair of goggles.

Somehow, he knew you were there, and charges you.

[roll0]
[roll1]
Initiative:[roll2]

[Tanaric]

Terminally:You can't ready an action to charge unless you're restricted to a single move or standard action.

[Ranger Mattos]

No idea what a ripper is...

Please tell me he can't charge me from where I am standing. Because then I'd be painfully killed.

Anyway, initiative:[roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

Tanaric:
I've run it as a Surprise Round, occasionally allowing people/things to reposition if they know what door is being messed with.

Yeah, he can charge, and he threatened a critical, too..

Crit confirm:
[roll0] vs Flatfooted
[roll1]

On his turn:

[roll2] vs Flatfooted
[roll3]

Continue?
Yes
No

[Ranger Mattos]

Pretty sure I was already killed by the first attack :smallfrown:. Could I play again? I'll try to get through 2 combat encounters this time.

[term1nally s1ck]

Sure, but I'm gonna play nice, and ask you how many people would have won though this floor with every encounter starting with a surprise round. And what you might be doing to trigger that.

You're in the starting room, 2 lives down...where to?

[Ranger Mattos]

To the first door I normally go to

Save for pit: [roll0]

Then draw my bow while dropping teh torch.

[Ranger Mattos]

Oh, Initiative: [roll0]

Initiative:[roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

The beast disappears, as the human casts a ray of coldnness at you:

[roll0] vs Touch AC
[roll1] damage.

He then moves to B2.

[Ranger Mattos]

Muahaha. Miss. Designate him as Dodge opponent (I forgot I had that feat...)
Shoot him with my bow

[roll0]
[roll1]

Forgot I had PB Shot too...

Then take 5-foot step south

[term1nally s1ck]

Hit.

He moves to where he can see you (A1?), and color sprays you. Will save.

[Ranger Mattos]

Will save: [roll0]

Plese tell me I am not unconcious and will not be stabbed to death shortly.

[term1nally s1ck]

Err..ok..
