Neverending Dungeon: Jack

[NeverEnding DM]

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=287232)

[Sadistic Seraph]

First I'll conduct a cursory examination of the room (search check), then I'll walk to the door, examine it and search it for traps (taking 20), then assuming I don't find anything I'll listen at the door to try and hear what's going on on the other side.

Rolls
Search Check: [roll0] (the first one, not the door)
Listen Check: [roll1]

OOC
Do you want me to roll Spot and Listen each round or do you want to do it secretly when it comes up?

[term1nally s1ck]

You discover nothing. I'll tell you when to roll spot and listen.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Ok then, I'll draw my sword and open the door (but not walk through).

[term1nally s1ck]

Opening the door reveals...another door. Hm.

[Sadistic Seraph]

How odd, I'll try touching it lightly with the tip of my sword then I'll search it for traps (taking 20 again).

[term1nally s1ck]

It's a door.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll open it.

[term1nally s1ck]

It opens to reveal a wall.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll search the wall for hidden doors etc (taking 20). Then if I don't find anything I'll search the room (taking 20).

[term1nally s1ck]

As you touch it, you find that it was actually an illusion.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll make a listen check to see if I can hear anything on the other side. If i don't hear anything then I'll put my face in it and move forward until i'm just far enough to see out the other side.

Rolls
[roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

You see a 5' wide corridor, heading south.

After 5' and 25', the corridor splits east. It ends in a T-junction after 35'.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll take the torch from the room (I'll check to see if it's an everburning torch, i.e. see if it gives off heat) and cast Mage Armor on myself.
Then I'll walk to the first branch in the corridor trying to be as quiet as possible. I'll have the torch in my left hand and my sword in my right. When I reach the branch I'll poke my head around the corner and see where it leads.

[term1nally s1ck]

As you grab the torch, it gets angry.

It attacks:

[roll0] for [roll1] bludgeoning.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll run through the door (giving the torch an AoO) and hold it closed it behind me. Then I'll cast Mage Armor on myself.

EDIT:
OOC:
How does XP gain work in this, do I get XP for avoiding or escaping encounters (like say, by running away or sneaking around) or only for killing/defeating them?

[term1nally s1ck]

Defeating gives XP. You do get the chance to 'rebuild' with the next floor's stats if you get there, though.

[term1nally s1ck]

AoO:

[roll0] for [roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

[roll0] for [roll1]

Yikes... O_o

EDIT: 19,20,20. Something in here doesn't like you.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Ok, cool. So does the torch swing an AoO at me as I run away? Or can I take a withdraw action and avoid it?

EDIT: Nevermind, started writing this before your 2nd post. My bad.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Wait, what was that third swing from?

[term1nally s1ck]

Critical confirm.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Ah, ok. Friggin torch.

So I'm outside the door, which is closed, having taken 4+3=7 damage and have just cast mage armor on myself. Right?

Assuming that's correct I'll use my scroll of CLW on myself, light a Sunrod and try sneaking down to the branch in the corridor as I had originally intended (though without the torch obviously).

CLW: [roll0]

Also: Does my greatcoat stack with my Mage Armor as it does with light armor?

[term1nally s1ck]

As you turn around, you see writing on the wall. It says:

April Fool's!

You recover the HP for free, and a torch appears in your hand.

From the doorway: A 5' wide passageway south. There are splits east at 5' and 25', and it ends in a T-junction after 35'.

[Sadistic Seraph]

LMAO, that was mean. though hilarious.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Ok, so I will once more attempt to sneak down to the first branch and peek around the corner.

[term1nally s1ck]

After 20', there's a north/south split.

After 30', a door north.

The corridor extends past 40', can you see any further?

[Sadistic Seraph]

No, My torch's light only extends to 40ft and I have no darkvision or low-light vision.

I'll sneak to the North/South split and look down both corridors (as well as looking further down the east-running corridor).

Mage Armor Duration: 1 round

[term1nally s1ck]

At the very edge of your vision, you see anothr north/south split.

In both directions, the corridor goes 20' before turning right.

To the south, there's a door east after 15'.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll listen at the door leading north. Then if I don't hear anything I'll open it.

[Zazori]

I've got this TS (:

Hi there, I'll be your new DM.
Can't wait to kill you get you through this floor. :D


As you move towards the door the floor underneath you crumbles away.
Reflex save.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Hi!

Reflex Save: [roll0]

EDIT: Mage Armor Duration 2 rounds

[Zazori]

You clear the pit and continues down to the door.

While listening to the door you hear a dragons roar that echoes through the dungeon, it started in the room that you were listening at.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Can you describe the door? Any keyholes, gap at the bottom etc?
If there are any such things I'll try to look through into the room.

Then I'll make another listen check to see if I can hear anything else inside the room.

Also I'll check the door for traps (taking 20)

Listen: [roll0]

[Zazori]

There is a keyhole, but you can't see anything but darkness through it.

This time you hear nothing.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Ok, I'll open the door. But not walk through.

[Zazori]

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

5|||||[/table]
There are doors at A5 south and E1 north.
In the room there is an ugly looking, blue scaled, lizard thing with fire in it's mouth!
Initiative: [roll0]


You enter from A5 south.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Initiative [roll0]

EDIT: I'll move to A4 cast Color Spray at it.

[Zazori]

Will:[roll0]

[Zazori]

He turns to you and breathes fire at you!!

Damage: [roll0] /2 fire damage, Successful reflex halves the damage again to a minimum of 1 fire damage.
You are entangled by fire.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Reflex: [roll0]

[Zazori]

You take 3 fire damage and your move speed is halved.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Do I take the rest of the usual penalties for entanglement (-4 dex, -2 attack rolls, Concentration check to cast spells)?

[Jarian]

Zazori:Entangled (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#entangled) does a bit more than that. He has a chance to lose any spell he casts, and he takes a penalty to attack rolls and dexterity.

Edit: Neeeenja.

[Zazori]

Yes, these penalties is also in effect.

Though, my DM forgot them too(:

[term1nally s1ck]

Zazori, don't forget to roll for duration.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll move to B4 and swing with my longsword

Attack roll: [roll0]
Damage roll: [roll1]

[Zazori]

Didn't I do that?..

[roll0] <- Duration

[Zazori]

You hit and slashes his one arm of, but he is still standing breathes at you again.

Damage: [roll0] Successful reflex save halves.

Entangle damage: [roll1]

[Sadistic Seraph]

Reflex: [roll0]

[Zazori]

You take 12 fire damage.
Thats a total count of 15 damage taken, this should have you on -5 hp.

Want to start all over from the beginning? (:

[Sadistic Seraph]

Holy crap!
Sure, do I make a new character or can I use this one again?

[Zazori]

You can use this one, just make sure that you remember to edit it back to how it was when you started.
If you decide to make a new character you would have to submit it in the main thread where it has to be checked.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I think I'll try with this one again.

[Zazori]

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.

DM notes:Sheet (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=287232)

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll cast Mage Armor on myself, take the torch, draw my sword and open the door.

Two questions: Is the dungeon the same every time? If it is what's your position on me using the knowledge I have from my previous attempt(s)?

[Zazori]

Maybe it's the same as before, maybe it's different, or maybe it eats you! :D
If you think what ever information you have is useful use it, but it just might be wrong.

You see a 5' wide corridor.
After 5' there is an East intersection.
After 25' there is an East intersection.
After 35' there is an West/East intersection.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll walk (quietly) to the second intersection and look around the corner.

[Zazori]

You see a corridor that turns north after 10'

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll walk up and look around the corner.

[Zazori]

After 5' there is a door on the East wall.
After 20' there is an West/East Intersection, the corridor continues 40' and then turns East.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll walk up to and listen at the door. Then try to find a keyhole (or something) to look through. Then I'll search it for traps (taking 20)

[Zazori]

You can hear nothing and see nothing through the keyhole.
You do not find any traps.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I guess I'll open the door then.

[Zazori]

Opening the door reveals the following room:
{table]|A_|B_|C_|D_|E_
1|||||
2|||||
3|||||
4||||B|H[/table]
There is a door at A-2, 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]

You enter from A-2.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Initiative: [roll0]

[Zazori]

The Human stays in his position.
The beast moves to B-4.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'm gonna try talking to the human. I say "Greetings, my name is Jack. What is yours"
Then I'll ready an action to cast a spell if either of them approaches me.

[Zazori]

No answer, none of them move.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll cast detect magic. And examine both them and the room.

[Zazori]

The beast lights up.
But as you examine the beast it disappears and many different colors shower over you.

Will save.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Will Save: [roll0]

[Zazori]

Nothing happens.
Your turn.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll try talking to the human again. I say "Hello, can you hear me? My name is Jack."
Again I'll ready an action to cast a spell if he moves towards me.

[Zazori]

He doesn't move he instead shoot a ray at you.
Ranged Touch attack:[roll0]
Damage: [roll1] frost damage.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'm going to charge at the human and try to hit him with my sword
Attack Roll: [roll0] (+2 from charging)
Damage: [roll1]
I also get -2 AC until my next turn

[Zazori]

You miss, he sprays colors at you.

Will save.

[Sadistic Seraph]

Will Save: [roll0]

EDIT: Crap

[Zazori]

You fall unconscious.
CdG.

You die, care to try again? (:

[Sadistic Seraph]

Ok, one more try. Then I go back and make a new character.

[Zazori]

[Sadistic Seraph]

Ok, I'll cast Mage Armor on myself, take the torch and open the door.
If on the other side of the door there's a 5' wide corridor leading south which branches off east after 5' and 25 feet then I'll go to the second branch and look around the corner.

EDIT: I've changed my spell selection.

[Zazori]

The corridor continues for 10' and then turns north.

wrong d:
After 5' there is a door on the East wall.
After 20' there is an West/East Intersection, the corridor continues 40' and then turns East.

[Sadistic Seraph]

I'll open the door.

[Zazori]

Opening the door reveals the following room:

[Sadistic Seraph]

WOOOO!!!! YEAH!!

I'll cast Sleep (DC 14) on the human.

[Zazori]

[Zazori]

The human 5' steps towards you and casts color spray on you.
Will save.

[Sadistic Seraph]

*crosses fingers*

Will Save: [roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

Relevance probable. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0456.html)

[Zazori]

So true TS d:

You make your save, take your turn.

[Sadistic Seraph]

lol "Let the ultimate duel between mages commence!"

I'll cast Charm Person at him.

[Zazori]

If the creature is currently being threatened or attacked by you or your allies, however, it receives a +5 bonus on its saving throw.

I take it, that it's being threatened by you?.

Will: [roll0]

[Zazori]

Damage: [roll1] frost damage

[Sadistic Seraph]

Rolling just in case
Attack roll: [roll0]
Damage roll: [roll1]

[Zazori]

You still need to make a will save.

[Sadistic Seraph]

[Sadistic Seraph]

Well, that's me done I guess.

I'll just go make another character to submit I guess.

Thank's for DMing me!

[Zazori]
