Dungeon Crawling Glim Garrick & Rianna

[Xealot7]

You and your friend have been looking to lead a life of adventure. One day on your way out of town you spot some bloody footprints and follow them. They lead you to a Dungeon entrance you have never seen before. When you step inside, the door closes behind you and your comrade.

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q299/ramage8504/Entrance.jpg

You entered from the door to your west. There is a campfire, still lit in the middle of the room. There are also torches lit at the entrance to the door to the East and the door to the South. Bloody footprints lead to the door to the East. The illumination in the room is shadowy.

[Savannah]

"Well, that can't be good." Rianna tries the door we just came in to see if it can be opened again.

Are the footprints shaped like humaniod footprints? How big are they relative to Rianna's feet?

[Xealot7]

The are a good bit larger than Rianna's feet.

To get any more info that that, you will need a Survival or Knowledge: Nature check.

[Savannah]

Guess it can't hurt to try.
Survival: [roll0]
untrained Knowledge (nature): [roll1]

By the way, what was the result of Rianna trying the door?

[Xealot7]

It doesn't budge... at all. You also, have not the slightest idea what left those bloody footprints.

[Savannah]

"Wonderful. We're stuck in here with something big, mysterious, and wounded. Glim, do you have any idea what it could be?" Rianna sighs. "Well, nothing to do but press onward. Which door should we take? That's assuming, of course, that they aren't stuck as well, leaving us to starve to death here."

[Dresil]

"Tracking isn't my specialty. If anything I'm better at avoiding being tracked. We might as well continue into this place though, seeing as how there would be no way to go back the way we came." The gnome hops up and grabs at a torch, "We might as well take this along with us, too."

[Savannah]

"Would you prefer to follow the large wounded thing or to try our chances on the other door? I suppose it might be better to follow it, as we may be able to catch it off guard or lend it aid, depending on what it is."

OOC: Your int is bound to be higher than mine, want to try an untrained Knowledge (nature) check to see if this thing has feet, hooves, paws, or something else?

[Dresil]

Glim leans down and puts a hand in one of the bloody footprints.

I think we should track it. There is no way to tell if its on our side or not, and ignoring the problem is the worst thing we can do.


Untrained Knowledge (nature) [roll0]
Survival [roll1]

[Xealot7]

You are fairly certain the way the blood is staying fresh that whatever the creature is, it has been wounded, and did not walk through blood. You have the feeling the prints belong to that of a rather large orc. A rather large, wounded orc.

[Dresil]

"Hmm... it looks like some big orc had himself a tussle. Either that or his feet REALLY hurt. Shall we press on?"

[Savannah]

"Allow me." Rianna walks to the door to the east and opens it.

[Xealot7]

As the door opens, you can here the yelping of kobolds and the banging of wood on stone as the chairs they were in flip over, you have thoroughly caught them off guard.

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q299/ramage8504/1E1Prison.jpg

One of the koblds is standing in front of the table, 15 feet in front of the door. The other kobold is standing 5 feet south of him.

[Savannah]

Do these kobolds look like fighter-types or non-combatents? (Are they wearing armor and are there weapons nearby?)

[Xealot7]

One kobold is holding a spear, the other a sling, both are wearing what appears to be some kind of leather armor. Possibly studded.

[Dresil]

Yipping in Draconic at the kobolds Glim asks the pair"Hey! You see a big orc come through here? Owes me 5 gold!"

[Savannah]

Rianna casually puts her hand on her sword, in case this turns ugly, but waits for the kobolds' response to Glim. (She has no idea what he asked.)

[Xealot7]

The first Kobold responds by looking at the other, who responds by swinging the sling behind his head once and letting fly a stone towards Glim's head..

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

Initiative for the other Kobold.
[roll2]

[Savannah]

Initiative [roll0]

[Dresil]

Ducking the projectile, Glim shouts back in Common;"Hey! Why you throwing stones at me!"

Initiative [roll0]

[Xealot7]

(Sorry, out of turn, but no harm no foul. Savannah's turn.)

The kobold with the spear charges towards Glim and strikes.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

[Dresil]

((I think Rianna gets an AoO because she was the one that opened the door, and we have yet to move, reglardles its a hit))

[Xealot7]

((Yes, she gets an AoO, and if she hits, it will probably kill it and you won't be damaged.))

[Savannah]

"Hey! Why don't you hit someone who can hit back!"

AoO attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

I think I'm supposed to have a turn as well, so if the one with a spear is still standing, Rianna will attack him, otherwise she'll move to attack the one farther away (without provoking an attack of opportunity, if at all possible).

Attack: [roll2]
Damage: [roll3]

[Xealot7]

The one with the spear is no longer standing.

Dresil, your turn.

[Dresil]

5-foot step back and toss a vial of acid at the remaining kobold. Here, catch!"

Ranged Touch Attack [roll0]
Damage [roll1]

[Xealot7]

The little kobold instinctively swats at the object tossed at him, breaking it open and covering himself in a corrosive liquid. Very little remains of him or his equipment.

[Savannah]

Rianna wipes the blood off her sword (using the kobold's clothing) and sheaths it. "What did you do, Glim, insult his mother? Whatever it was, you might not want to do it again."

[Dresil]

Glim goes over to the non-melted kobold and searches his body.

Search [roll0]

"Nah, I just told him I was looking for a big orc. He must not have taken it well."

[Savannah]

"I wonder if that means that they are working with the orc. After all, they could hardly miss a big, wounded orc walking by."

Rianna watches both doors while Glim is searching, in case someone heard the fight and comes to check it out.

[Xealot7]

Nothing comes through either of the doors.

You find a small spear and a small studded leather armor.

[Dresil]

"Nothing of use here. Shall we press on?"

[Savannah]

"Might as well press our advantage. As soon as anyone comes in here, they'll be on alert."

Rianna opens the far door, her hand on her sword.

[Xealot7]

When you say far door, do you mean the far East?

[Dresil]

Yes (randomspacecharacterbump)

[Savannah]

Yes, the east door (still following the bloody footprints).

[Xealot7]

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q299/ramage8504/1E2BedChamber.jpg

When you enter you see a Half-Orc clad in banded mail standing in the middle of the grace/her.

Initiative: [roll0]

[Dresil]

Initiative [roll0]

[Savannah]

...bloody pentacles on the floor are never a good sign...

Initiative:

EDIT: looks like I go first. Stepping forward, Rianna smoothly draws her sword and swings for the orc.

Attack: [roll]1d20+3
Damage: 2d6+3

[Savannah]

Dang die roller won't take edited-in rolls...

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

[Xealot7]

Please reroll that attack roll.:smallcool:

[Savannah]

Great, first bloody pentacles and now I'm probably going to drop my sword.

[roll0]

[Xealot7]

(Nah, not this time.:smallamused:)

Rianna, eager to end the fight, swings wildly at the orc, who steps out of the way. Rianna's blow jars with a great amount of force into the ground, which doesn't give, hurting her hand, arm, and shoulder.

(1pt of Bludgeoning Damage.)

Seeing the young paladin in a compromising situation the orc try's to make the most of it.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

However, his lunging strike is off balanced from moving and flies harmlessly over the paladin.

[Dresil]

"My turn, you big ugly brute." Glim says, as he moves up to protect his friend.

Cast Color Spray at the Orc, Will Save DC 18

[Xealot7]

Will Save: [roll0]

The "big, ugly, brute" focuses on Glim now, either because of the color spray, or the derogatory remarks.

[Savannah]

Rianna recovers from the jarring blow, and swings for the orc again.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size and leave him alone?"

By the way, did this orc appear to be wounded at all when we first entered the room?

[Xealot7]

I guess I forgot that little part.

When you entered you noticed wounds wounds on his hands and face healing right in front of you, as if he'd cast some sort of healing spell.

The orc, looks at Rianna long enough to dodge her attack and the focuses on Glim again.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

But Rianna disturbed him enough to make his attack go wide.

[Dresil]

Glim hops back 5 feet and pulls out another vial of acid. "Wow, an orc with half a brain. I'd thought that spell would leave you frothing at the mouth in a seizure at this point."

Acid Toss Touch Attack [roll0]
Damage [roll1]

[Savannah]

I'm going to take splash damage from that, aren't I?

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

[Dresil]

No, he moved to me, so you should be away from the splash

[Savannah]

But I followed him to make a melee attack, so I should be standing next to him. It's OK, 1 point of damage isn't much for me. I'll wait to apply it until we get a DM ruling, though.

[Xealot7]

(If it hits her touch AC, because she is close enough.)

The Orc bellows in pain as some of the acid gets under his armor and burns the skins. In retaliation he attacks Glim again.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

The orc's spear strikes true, running the little gnome through.

The gnome is one the ground incapacitated, the Orc roars as he turns to face Rianna, a large toothy smile across his face.

[Dresil]

"Oh, there go my organs." 5-foot step back and drink my potion of CLW

[roll0]

[Savannah]

Rianna snarls as she swings at him. "No one hurts my friends and live to tell about it!"

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

[Xealot7]

The orc, deciding to press his advantage takes a step diagonally to the north (5ft step) and cast a spell. He, immediately doubles in size. (Enlarge).

[Dresil]

Glim will cast Grease on the soles of the orc's feet.

[Xealot7]

Reflex- [roll0]

What's the DC?

[Dresil]

Sorry, DC was 18 or fall.

[Savannah]

Rianna steps up to the orc to take advantage of his awkward position.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

EDIT: Finally! A decent attack roll (and combined with one of my better damage rolls, too)!

[Xealot7]

The orc slips and falls on the grease, Rianna presses the attack and nearly decapitates the orc.

(roll to see if you fall as well.)

[Dresil]

I think thats Balance DC 10 to move across afterward.

[Savannah]

Balance: [roll0]

Who want to bet that I fall on my heavily armored rear, given my average roll? (Hmm...this could practically be one of those old slapstick movies if it continues...)

[Dresil]

'Failure means it can't move this round, and if it fails by 5 or more, requires a Reflex Save of fall.' So, Savannah, you need DC 15 Reflex or fall, (Forgot about the +3 was just illusions, sorry, but it looked like the orc didn't make it anyway.)

Glim will take a stab at the fallen orc with his spear.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Dresil]

Wow, Double post for Crit confirm

[roll0]

[Savannah]

Reflex: [roll0]

EDIT: Didn't think I was going to make that. Wow.

[Xealot7]

The orc slips and falls on the grease, Rianna presses the attack and nearly decapitates the orc.

(roll to see if you fall as well.)

Uh, nice crit but... uh, he doesn't have a head.

And you can just stand there until the grease goes away.

[Dresil]

It only lasts 1 round/level, so by the time it got back to me, it would be gone. If he's dead, than loot! Loot I say!!

Search [roll0]

[Xealot7]

On his person you find banded mail, 1 masterwork spear, 3 spears and 50 gold pieces. On his nightstand you find a book, titled Necronomicon, written in Orcish. Give me a Knowledge History, Religion, or Arcana for more knowledge about this book.

The symbol on the ground is made in blood. You aren't certain but you ascertain that it probably has something to do with the book.

You each receive 150xp.

[Dresil]

Glim paws around through the bloody corpse. "Hmm, lets see what we have here. 50 Gold, and I like this spear, if for anything else just to sell it, maybe trade it in. You want anything off him, besides half the gold? "

Looking at the book, he turns it over once or twice, thinking if he's heard anything about a Necronomicon.

Kn: Arcana [roll0]
Kn: History [roll1]

((Also, was that XP for the kobolds too?))

[Xealot7]

You each got 75xp from the kobolds.

You get the idea that this book, is not the original. In fact, you would guess that this has been translated by some less than adept transcribers. You feel that, were you to read through this, you might find some dangerous things inside, but nothing on the scale of what the original book possessed. It is desired by Necromancers.

[Dresil]

Glim will slip it into his pack, "Necromancy is not my thing, I gave it up to study illusion. But perhaps when we find a mage's college they can give us more insight about it. I think we should double back and see if we can't find an exit. Are you okay to go on?"

[Savannah]

"Hmm, lets see what we have here. 50 Gold, and I like this spear, if for anything else just to sell it, maybe trade it in. You want anything off him, besides half the gold? "

"Off a dirty orc? I think not."


"Necromancy is not my thing, I gave it up to study illusion. But perhaps when we find a mage's college they can give us more insight about it. I think we should double back and see if we can't find an exit. Are you okay to go on?"

"It is hardly more than a scratch; I will be fine. Do you not wish to press onward? I must confess I am curious as to the nature of this orc's plans. Surely it would be better to continue our investigation now, before his followers realize that he is dead."

During Glim's search, Rianna has taken out her whetstone and fixed any dents in her sword due to her slamming it into the ground. She also keeps watch on the doors in case someone comes in to see what had happened. (Are those doors to the north and south of the orc's bed?)

[Xealot7]

Why yes, yes they are.

[Dresil]

"Well, there is a door way back at the entrance that went to the south, so maybe the door south of here leads back to it? How about trying the north door?"

[Savannah]

"Sounds resonable to me." Rianna opens the door to the north.

[Xealot7]

To the north you see what appears to be the quarter of the cleric you just killed. You hear the sound of what appears to be bone on stone.

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q299/ramage8504/StudyQuarters.jpg

[Dresil]

'Wrong way, let's go south." Glim turns to leave.

[Xealot7]

As you turn back and go back into the orc's bedchambers, you hear the sounds of bones on stone getting closer.

[Savannah]

"I don't think that is an option at this point." Rianna draws her sword and prepares for the worst. (If it looks like they can back out and shut the door, she will do so.)

[Xealot7]

Sure, you can shut the door. You hear banging on the door, but it isn't opening. Where too?

[Dresil]

Try the south door now.

[Xealot7]

Entering to the east you enter a well lit room, with large rugs along this large hallway. There are some paints hanging along the walls although they are rather crude and of poor quality.

Aside from the door you entered there is a door to the East and a Door to the North.

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q299/ramage8504/1S1E1PeculiarHallway.jpg

[Savannah]

"Which door would you prefer, Glim?" Rianna keeps her hand on her sword, just in case, as she steps into the room.

[Dresil]

'Lets try east."

[Savannah]

"Very well." Rianna draws her sword, then opens the east door.

[Xealot7]

Reflex saves.

[Dresil]

"Quistion Mark Ampersand Pound Sign Ecxlimation Point!"

[roll0]

[Savannah]

"Glim...are you alright?"

Reflex: [roll0]

[Xealot7]

Glim takes [roll0] Piercing Damage from the traps.

Rianna takes [roll1] Piercing Damage from the traps.

You both have bolts in your side, there were several bolts fired from traps in the walls.

[Savannah]

Ouch! What kind of traps were they?

[Xealot7]

I edited the above post... sorry was in a big hurry.

[Savannah]

Did Rianna actually open the door or did the trap spring first? (Can we see into the next room?)

"Glim, are you alright? That hurt."

[Dresil]

"Yeah... I'll be fine.

[Savannah]

"I don't think I can take another blow like that. Should we attempt to fall back and return when we are healed?"

[Dresil]

"Fall back to where? The door locked, remember?"

[Savannah]

"True. I suppose we have no alternative but to press onward and pray to St. Cuthbert that we do not meet anything that damaging again."

So, did Rianna get the door open before she and Glim were hurt by the trap?

[Xealot7]

No, you were hit first. You can still move on, or you can stop to rest. If you rest you can roll a random encounter.

[Savannah]

Don't suppose you've got "Helpful healer" on that random encounter list? :smallbiggrin:

(Totally OOC): I don't know if resting overnight will be terribly useful; it's just 1 hp. On the other hand, I'm pretty worried about surviving another battle, as I've got 4 hp (could all go with one hit), and I don't know how much you have, but I bet it's less. What do you think, Dresil?

[Dresil]

"We might as well continue onward, there is no place to rest anyways."

(OOC: I've got 5 hp left)

[Savannah]

Rianna bandages them both as best she can. (If you want me to make Heal checks I will.)

"I wonder if it's safe to go through this door now." Rianna looks closely at the door that was trapped (Search: [roll0], plus any circumstance bonus for just having been hit by the traps).

What kind of handle does the door have? If she doesn't spot any traps and it is at all possible, Rianna will push the door open from a distance with her 10' pole.

[Xealot7]

There is a magical energy of some sort that prevents you from opening to the east. You also find no other traps.

[Dresil]

"How about we try that southern door that we found in the first room?

[Savannah]

"That sounds good." Rianna heads back to the room they first entered.

If nothing interesting happens on the way, she will examine the door closely without touching it. (Search: [roll0]) If she doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary (most likely!) she will prod at the door and handle from 10' away with her pole.

[Dresil]

"Find anything, Rianna?" (Shameless bump)

[Xealot7]

You find nothing, and nothing happens when you prod at the doorway. Nothing is triggered, and it seems altogether... safe.

[Savannah]

"Stand back, Glim. No sense in both of us risking getting hurt." Rianna cautiously opens the door.

[Savannah]

Xealot7, are you still running this? Are we on just on hold?
