Hack and Slash/Dungeon Crawling

[Volthawk]

Right, here's the thread. Before we start, I have a question: What order will you be in? Once I know that I'll put the map up.

[Duskranger]

I think I will be second. Right behind the first. So I can attack (Spiked chain) and heal if necessary (clericstuff)

[Deca]

I'll be in the middle roundabouts so I am relatively protected from enemies and my spells can reach anyone in the group.

[HempRope]

So that leaves me to be first or last?

It depends on where we are. If we're opening a door, Aefel (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=195943) should be next to (or if we have to single file, behind) Evar (http://www.roguepenguin.com/castellar/profiler/view.php?id=4989). Deca, I know that puts Bing (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=195772) in the back, but with all due respect, he doesn't have any combat spells, and it doesn't make sense for him to go through a door early, if he even goes through at all. I'm assuming, obviously, that Valleron (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=195785) with go first.
(Thought it would be good to have all the sheets linked into this thread.)

If we're walking down a corridor Aefel will be about 50'-60' ahead of everyone else scouting.

EDIT:
Oh, yeah -- what's the premise for this game? How do we know each other, what are we doing, where are we, why are we here, and what's the meaning of life?

[Duskranger]

I think wizard should not be back. Rogue should be up front, Paladin at back. Rogue for scouting purposes, paladin for backattack so to speak. That's what I would suggest anyway.

[HempRope]

The paladin is the closest thing we have to a meatshield. She should be in front, especially when going through a door (at which point enemies are unlikely to be sneaking up on the characters unless they stand there for 20 minutes). When they're walking down a corridor, I would suggest Valleron - Bing - Evar, with Aefel scouting.

And I just realized that this is the IC thread, not the OOC thread. We should probably be discussing this there, where is that?

Not available.

[HempRope]

You mean there isn't one? I suppose it could be fun to keep it all merged together. Easier, maybe.

[Volthawk]

That was the idea, as you don't really need to have separations for RPing.

Oh, and by the way, feel free to metagame.

[Duskranger]

'First of all, where am I, this is not the plane I come from. Second, who are you and where are you from. Third what are we going to do here'

OOC:

Think that this way is better. Besides, I already start a little bit of RP found it needed here.

[Volthawk]

OK, you are all in a corridor, with a door in front of you. Behind you is a brick wall.

Map so far:

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx342/LBF-Volthawk/Dungeon1.png
Red line= door
The letters are your character's initials. That is where you are.

[HempRope]

Aefel

A short elven woman in dark leather armor looks around her in confusion, and draws a longsword from her belt.

"Who are you?" she exclaims. "Where are we, how did we get here, why are we here, and what's the meaning of life?!"

[Duskranger]

Evar
'Is there a meaning of life than. And drawing thine weapon is not really necessary m'lady. Evar says polite. 'On the other hand, staying here is also not the smartest thing to do. Shall we move on?'

[HempRope]

Aefel

"I've no idea, but who are you and where are we?"

[Lin Bayaseda]

Valleron

The dashing and valiant Paladin takes his place at the front, as the protector of the weak and needy. Seems like the way back is blocked, and we must continue forward. Is there a door knocker? Doesn't seem so. Valleron knocks on the door with the hilt of his sword. Let us in!
OOCSorry. Had to dump one ability score... INT got the shaft.

[Deca]

Bingledon

The short pudgy gnome recoils as the woman draws her sword.

"Yaah! Don't hurt me!"

A weasel worms it's way out his robes and hisses at the women before Bingledon stuffs it back into his pocket.

[HempRope]

Aefel

Assuming nothing happens at the door, the elf keeps on talking.

"Seriously, before we go through that door, I want to know who you are. I guess, for starts... I'm Aefel. A dungeoness by trade. And I can weild this sword, so don't cross me."

[Deca]

Bingledon

Staying away from the women's sword, he spoke.

"I am Bingledon, Mage-For-Hire, 20th Class."

[Lin Bayaseda]

I am Valleron Antarra, a Knight Protector of Her Royal Highness Queen Shenabra, brought here by forces beyond my comprehension. I suggest we show courtesy to the denizens of this place. But, if they do not return in kind and attack us instead, we should be swift to put them to sword.

[Duskranger]

Evar Narce, Ghaele Eladrin from Celestia, I would suggest we go on, but with caution. You never know what lurks behind these doors. So thread carefully. And please be carefull.

[Volthawk]

What, are you knitting or something?

[HempRope]

Aefel

"Pleasure to meet you all. We'll leave the where, how and why parts for later. In the meantime, let me have a look at that door before you get us all blown up," Aefel says in a no-nonsense voice, sheathing her sword and squeezing past her now-comrades to assume her roguely duties.

OOC
[roll0]

[Lin Bayaseda]

Valleron

So, while we're waiting for the Elven Dame to conclude her ritual, can you good gents tell me more about yourselves? For example, what kind of magic would you be a disciple of, good Wizard?

[Deca]

Bingledon

"Wha..huh? Oh. Magic? Oh, I majored in Transmutation. I'm not very good at it though..."

[HempRope]

Yeah, volthawk, waiting on you. He's been posting in other threads...

[Duskranger]

About me there's not much to tell, I'm afraid, I'm nothing else than an outsider from another plane. The question is why am I here.

[Volthawk]

Will you open the door?

[Duskranger]

OOC: The question is more has the rogue found something. I would enjoy to open the door, but not my call.

[Volthawk]

OOC: The question is more has the rogue found something. I would enjoy to open the door, but not my call.

Oh, right :smallredface:

You don't find anything in or around the door. It seems to be a standard, untrapped door.

[Duskranger]

Real turn:
Did you find any traps, if not let me go ahead and open the door. See if we can escape from here.

OOC;

In that case I step as far as possible back and let the rogue open the door. Why take chances :smallbiggrin:

[HempRope]

Aefel

"Nothing. Bang your way through."

Aefel retreats to her original place in the hall, squeezing past Valleron and Evar, and takes her bow from her back.

Dusk, can you post Evar's name at the top of your post? At least for a little while so I can learn it. Cheers!

[Volthawk]

Through the door, you are at an intersection. To your left, the corridor quickly stops at a door. Straight on, the corridor continues until stopping at another door.

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx342/LBF-Volthawk/Dungeon1-1.png

[Lin Bayaseda]

Valleron
Well lady Aefel, your trap-removal ritual seems to have worked, since we encountered no traps. Would you do the honors of performing said ritual again at one of the following doors? I would search for traps myself, but I'm a bit far-sighted.

[HempRope]

Can we keep putting names at the tops of posts, please? I'm bad enough with names in real life.

Aefel

Aefel is already pushing past the others when Valleron speaks.

"Of course," she says, as she begins scouring the alcove in which the closest door is set, for anything dangerous.

When this is done, she puts her ear next to the door, listening for anything from the other side, and then checks the door itself for traps. She repeats the same routine at the other door. Her clothes stay on.

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]

[roll3]
[roll4]
[roll5]

[Volthawk]

On the other side of the door, you can hear quiet moans.

[Duskranger]

Evar

And?

[HempRope]

Aefel

(A) Which door?

(B) I assume no traps on either?

(C) Can she tell anything about the species, gender, language, or cause of the moans?

[Volthawk]

Aefel

(A) Which door?

(B) I assume no traps on either?

(C) Can she tell anything about the species, gender, language, or cause of the moans?

A) The higher door on the map-you said closest.

B) None on that door.

C) Not really, although there seems to be no emotion in them.

[HempRope]

Aefel

"There's some soft moaning coming from the other side," Aefel whispers as she moves from the first door to the second. After searching the second, she shakes her head and mouths, "Nothing."

She motions the others to take up position at the door with the moaning and draws her bow again.

[Duskranger]

Evar

Shall I open the door, where after, you can enter Valleron. Or before that Aefel can fire her bow. Bingledon, you can better stay back until we have this under control I would hate to lose a possible friend. If they are friendly inside there, good, if they are unfriendly, make them hurt.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Valleron's sword is at the ready. I will be honored to go first, if that is the group's opinion. If monsters those be, they will taste steel in no time, but we best hope we're not interrupting a ... private gathering.

[HempRope]

Aefel

"Ssshhhhhhhh!" hisses Aefel quietly.

I hope we are interrupting something conjugal, I'd prefer that over a fight, and they can tell us where the frick we are!

[Duskranger]

Evar

Go ahead Valleron, open the door, so we can find out what will be behind door number 1.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Seeing as this is the concensus of the group, Valleron opens the door, and takes a peek inside, smiling, just in case. Sword is drawn, also just in case.

[Volthawk]

Inside the room, you see...









TWO ZOMBIES!!!

[Lin Bayaseda]

Valleron only has one response to Zombie scum! Initiative [roll0] Also, how far are they?

[HempRope]

Can you tell us more about the room they're in?

[roll0]

[Deca]

Initiative: [roll0]

[Volthawk]

The room is square, with the two rotting zombie in the two far corners, about 15ft away. Between the two is a chest.

[Duskranger]

Initiative:
[roll0]

My turn: Walk till first option of attack (left zombie), attack (attackroll:[roll1] and hit for [roll2] damage. Than do a 5 feet step back. So they must use a moveaction to come towards me and I will get a AoO.

Turn ended.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Might as well take my turn too. Charge!


Charge-attack the left Zombie [roll0] (incl. charge bonus)
damage [roll1]
-2 AC until my next action


OOCThe wizard actually goes before me. So if he has an area effect or something, I'm not in the room yet

[Deca]

Well it seems like the gnome has the Initiative.

Bingledon:

The wizard quickly sidesteps several of the adventurers until he runs past Valleron.
'Go with my blessing!'
He waves his hands around before placing them on Valleron to create a field of protective energy around the paladin.


Mechanically, Bingledon moved his 20ft into the square just to the right of Valleron. I can't recall the rules whether a Small creature can move through a group of Medium creatures like that but as long as they're willing it should be fine. Once there, he casts Protection From Evil on Valleron. End his turn.

[HempRope]

I don't really understand where people are (map?), but here's Aefel's actions assuming she acts before the zombies. If they go first, I'll post something else.

Aefel

The elf jumps down the hallway to get a good sight on the zombies. The paladin has her view of one blocked, but she can just get a shot off at the one the weird guy with the chain attacked, and sends a long arrow straight at its torso.


[roll0] [roll1]
AC: 17 HP: 8

Deca, Mage Armor doesn't stack with Valleron's chain mail. (Though the move is fine, allied characters can move through each others squares regardless of size, as long as they end their move in an open square.)

[Duskranger]

@Aefel
You probably act before me

OOC:
I think they will be dead

[Deca]

OOC


>_>
<_<

@HempRope: I didn't cast Mage Armour. You saw nothing.

[HempRope]

You probably act before meMy bad. Retcon that to not mention spiked chains.

I think they will be deadAgreed. Unless they're advanced a little.

[Deca]

Agreed. Unless they're advanced a little.

Note that the DM hasn't mentioned what type of zombies they are. They could be zombified Wyrmling Dragons for all we know.

I seriously doubt it but it would be hilarious.

[Duskranger]

The best zombie is a zombie that has been sliced and diced and gives xp to me :smallbiggrin:

[Volthawk]

Valleron, you don't have a clear path to the zombies, so no charge.

[HempRope]

Any chance of a map, or if not, a more detailed description of how we're set up, then? I don't understand why she doesn't have a clear path.

[Volthawk]

Oh, sorry. I was thinking the rogue was in front.

Map coming up in a bit.

Oh, and can you put your character's names at the top of your posts please? It helps.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Hi. Bump?!

[Duskranger]

Did we croak the zombies?

[HempRope]

I was waiting for a map that was supposed to be forthcoming? Or a resolution of the combat round.

Btw volt you can probably post enemy Init when you open combat since we're not going hardcore about the roleplaying.

[Volthawk]

Right...

One zombie nearly collapses before the barrage of blows, but not before striking out at Valleron during his charge (AOO), and strikes him again. The other starts to lurch forwards, following the wall.

Attack Of Opportunity

[roll1]

Attack on Valleron

[roll3]

Aefel, you get an attack of opportunity.

[HempRope]

No, she's not weilding a melee weapon. Also... maybe these are abnomal zombies, but the standard model only gets a standard action every round, so they can't move and attack in the same turn. Though it doesn't matter since the attack missed.

Aefel

The elf somersaults ([roll0]) away from the creature into the opposite corner of the room and lets another arrow loose into its decaying flesh.

[roll1] [roll2]
AC: 17 HP: 8

[Lin Bayaseda]

Valleron

Alright, let's finish off the Zombie next to me. [roll0] attack, [roll1] damage.

HP 5, AC 16 18 (forgot about Protection from Evil)

[Lin Bayaseda]

I assume that does him in. And 5' step outside the other Zombie's range. I'll chanrge him next round if need be.

[Volthawk]

The zombie in the corner collapses (he wasn't on the map there). Aefel's acrobatics fails, and the zombie still managed to try and hit her. The arrow also missed. The zombie lumbers after her.

Not necessary.

[Duskranger]

Evar

Evar as evilhating as he is does one 5' step towards the zombie (getting in front of B) and takes another whack at the zombie with his spiked chain.

Attackroll:[roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

If threat:

confirmroll:[roll2]
Damage: [roll3]

[Volthawk]

Evar completely misses the zombie.

[Duskranger]

OOC: I got that when I saw the roll. Sigh the dice were against me :smallbiggrin:

[Lin Bayaseda]

Valleron

So....are we waiting on the Wizard to take a turn? Or is it the Zombies turn? Whenever my turn rolls along, Greatsword attack [roll0], damage [roll1]

[HempRope]

If only you could switch those rolls...

I was waiting for the wizard, but all Aefel is doing next round is taking total defense, so it doesn't matter.

Btw, we shouldn't have let the zombie get that middle square. Tactical error.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Valleron's sword seems to be stuck in mid-swing for a few days now.
I wonder what's up with this game. Is it still alive?

[HempRope]

I'd given up on it. Volthawk's been posting plenty, just not here. Will start hunting for a replacement game. :smallsigh:

[Duskranger]

In that case it was fun guys. Too bad it had to end this way. Hope that this game will go on eventually.
