Neverending Dungeon: Ikioi

[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.

[Kumori]

(I don't intend to do much in the form of RP here, as I'm alone in this game so the entertainment value is more from the hack n slash.)

Ikioi walks over to the torch and takes it, holding it in his left hand, 10' pole in the right. Then to the door, first poking it then tapping the handle firmly with the pole. Assuming nothing happens, he'll open it slowly and peek out.

[term1nally s1ck]

Opening the door reveals a 5' wide corridor south.

Immediately, the corridor splits east, and again after 25', and the corridor ends in a T-junction after 35'.

Scratch that, sorry, you grabbed the torch.

It doesn't take kindly to being grabbed, and attacks:

d20+8 for d4+1 bludgeoning damage.

[term1nally s1ck]

Why did I do that???

[roll0] for [roll1] bludgeoning damage.

[Kumori]

Ouch. 5' step backwards. Then I fire an Acidic Splatter at it.
ranged touch: [roll0]
damage: [roll1] acid

my turn to fail...

[Kumori]

ranged touch: [roll0]
damage: [roll1] acid

[term1nally s1ck]

If ya try and post too fast, it does that.

[Kumori]

Ouch. 5' step backwards. Then I fire an Acidic Splatter at it.
ranged touch: [roll0]
damage: [roll1] acid

The second one wasn't my fault, I swear.

[term1nally s1ck]

You miss, so it tries to set you on fire.

[roll0] for [roll1] fire, and reflex save or on fire.

[Kumori]

Is it still in the holder on the wall?
Reflex [roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

Of course not, it got out and is flying around.

You are not on fire.

[Kumori]

How much do I know about what this is exactly?
Spellcraft: [roll0]
Knowledge Arcana: [roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

It's an animated torch...

[Kumori]

I can see it now: death by flying torch, first room...
Magic Missile: [roll0]

Edit: forgot to say 5' step away first.

[term1nally s1ck]

It takes the shot, and goes for moar fire:

[roll0] for [roll1] and ref save or burningggg

[Kumori]

Nope, no save. -2 HP. Dead.

[term1nally s1ck]

Ok, so restarting in the same room, not taking the torch this time?

[Kumori]

Yeah, but I need to buy a torch of my own first... I had a character with Darkvision once who ignored the torch, so I knew it was there and just assumed I could use it...

[Kumori]

Okay, lets try this again. Added Flint and Steel, 10x Torch, 5x Sunrod.
Never going to need a torch again.

Ikioi sets his pole on the floor, removes his backpack, fishes out a torch and pulls the flint and steel from a front pocket. He lights his torch, puts the flint and steel back, grabs his pole and makes for the door, as described above.

[term1nally s1ck]

As you touch the door, it attacks!

[roll0] for [roll1]

[Kumori]

It didn't react when I poked it or anything?

[term1nally s1ck]

Nope, just when you got within 5'.

[Kumori]

Well, Bullocks then. I'm gonna die again, I think. @ 0 HP already.

5' step back. Charnal Touch on self
Heal [roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

the door flaps angrily.

[Kumori]

It didn't come off it's hinges? Shocking!
Acidic Splatter: [roll0] touch for [roll1] acid.

[term1nally s1ck]

It flaps angrily. With an acid hole whistling as it does so.

[TheFallenOne]

TS
what is up with the starting room turning into a horror version of Disneys Beauty and the Beast? :smallconfused: that's new and I can't find any changes like that in the notes

[Kumori]

Again:
[roll0] touch, for [roll1] acid.

[term1nally s1ck]

Flap Flap Flap.

[Kumori]

Can we just say lather rinse and repeat until the door doesn't exist anymore?

[term1nally s1ck]

It melts. Sad.

Through the door hole, there's a 5' wide corridor south.

Immediately, the corridor splits east, and again after 25', and the corridor ends in a T-junction after 35'.

[Kumori]

Charnal Touch up to full HP, then out the hole. I'll glance around the corner to the east (spot [roll0], if necessary) before proceeding. If I see nothing, I'll go east.

[term1nally s1ck]

As you start to walk out the door, you bump into an invisible wall of some sort, where the door was.

Suddenly, gravity slowly reverses, and you float to the 'ceiling'.

A note appears, but it seems unaffected by the gravity switch, and settles on the 'floor'.

The torch falls out its bracket and lands nearby you.

[Kumori]

So the 'ceiling' is how high off the 'floor'?
If the torch does nothing, I do nothing to it. I'll keep my distance though.

[Sohala]

Well, Bullocks then. I'm gonna die again, I think. @ 0 HP already.

5' step back. Charnal Touch on self
Heal [roll0]

Don't mean to barge in, but Charnal Touch can only HEAL 1 damage (+1 every four levels)

[term1nally s1ck]

20' high. Torch does nothing.

[Kumori]

Hmm... I'm gonna try to see if that invisible wall is there still via smacking with the pole. If it isn't, I'd like to try to pull myself up into the doorway.

Should I or should I not be reading these random peoples spoilers?

[term1nally s1ck]

Unless it's marked for me, you can read it.

doorway is many feet off the ground. You'll need to climb.

Or, y'know, you could maybe read what the note says?

[Kumori]

Lemme guess, "I prepared explosive runes today"? Or maybe it'll fold up into a paper airplane and paper-cut me to death. Nope. It can sit on the 'floor'

20' high ceiling, door's probably about 8' tall at least. 12' climb. I should be able to grab it like a ledge and pull myself up. I'll Take 10 on the climb check (10+0=10). If that isn't good enough, Take 20, unless something or someone interferes.

[term1nally s1ck]

You make it to the door. The wall has been replaced by big letters:

APRIL FOOLS!

[Kumori]

You make it to the door. The wall has been replaced by big letters:

APRIL FOOLS!

I WIN!

... :smallsigh:

[term1nally s1ck]

The gravity resets, and you end up back on the floor.

[Kumori]

Alright, on we go... Out the door heading east, down the hall.

[Zazori]

I'll be taking this from now on TS (:

Hi there, I'll be your new DM.

Lets not hope that I kill get you through too fast. (:


10' down the hall there is a North/South intersection.
The corridor continues more than the 40' that you can see.

How far down do you go?

[Zazori]

Bump? :D

Too short a bump :S

[Kumori]

((Sorry for the lack of reply. My attention has been quite focused on the ToDE of late, and posting in games that have other players who expect a certain pace to be kept. I'll try to put more attention to this.))


Not to scale:

Assuming that's accurate I'll head down the east path. At the four way intersection I'll look in each direction before continuing.

[Zazori]

You stand in the four way intersection.

North: The corridor goes for 20' north and then turns east.

South: The corridor goes for 20' south and then turns west, there is a door on the east wall after 15'

East: The corridor goes for more than the 40' you can see, there is a door on the north wall after 20'

West: You came from there.

Ikioi will head back to the north end of the dungeon, to the spot indicated by the arrow.

Can I assume you'll correct me if I make an error in the map?

[term1nally s1ck]

Zazori: Did you forget a little something 5' south of the intersection?

[Kumori]

Traps are fun... I'm dead again, aren't I?

[term1nally s1ck]

Depends....how good is your.....REFLEX SAVE. :smallbiggrin:

[Kumori]

We'll see how the dice turn out once Zazori calls for the roll. I'm not sure if your just joking or not, so I'll wait for him to call the shot since he's taken over.

[Zazori]

TS, is right I missed a trap.

Reflex save :D

[Kumori]

Of course he was.

reflex: [roll0]

edit: SAFE!

[Zazori]

You fall into a pit filled with acid and you quickly spot an acid breathing shark.
You take [roll0] acid damage every second and the shark attacks you.
Attack:[roll1] (Doesn't miss on a nat 1)
Bite:[roll2]
If hit you must make a fort save or die. (:


Nah just kidding your safe.

Edit: Did I say safe?.. My mistake, I clearly forgot that your in the NED.. Mwuhahaha :D

[Zazori]

You walk north from the four way intersection.
The corridor turns east for 10' and then north again, after another 10' north it splits, east/west.

East: It goes for 30', after 20' there is a corridor that goes north and again after 30' there is a corridor going north.

West: It goes for more than the 40' that you can see, but after 20' there is a corridor going north.
After 30' there is a door in the south wall.

[Kumori]

Ok then, this place really is quite the maze, huh?

Ikioi will head west down the hall to the door, taking a look up the north passage as he passes it and taking notice of what is further west before stopping at the door.

[Zazori]

I messed up d:

West is east and east is west.

West: It goes for 30', after 20' there is a corridor that goes north and again after 30' there is a corridor going north.

East: It goes for more than the 40' that you can see, but after 20' there is a corridor going north.
After 30' there is a door in the south wall.

Thats how it should be.

Ikioi is still going to head west, taking a look north as he pass the first passage and continues to the corner.

[Zazori]

1st passage north: It goes for 20' and then turns east.

2nd passage north: It goes for 30' and then turns east.

And he'll turn north at the second passage up to where it turns east.

[Zazori]

After 20' north the floor beneath you crumble away.

Reflex save.

[Kumori]

reflex [roll0]

[Zazori]

You swiftly jump backwards, there is now a 5' wide hole in the ground before you.

[Kumori]

Jump across (Take 10 = 10) and continue on my way up to that corner.

Edit: Is there a time when you are often online so that we can make some serious progress?

[Zazori]

At the turn the corridor heads east for 20' and then turns south.


It really depends, but mostly workdays around 07:00am to 15:00pm Gmt+1 time zone.

Continuing down the corner.

[term1nally s1ck]

The corridors you expect to link up link up. 10 south, 10' west, 10' south.

At the turning west, there's a door east.

[Kumori]

Ikioi will continue around the loop and head back east, taking the turn to the north.

[term1nally s1ck]

On the way, the floor crumbles....make another ref save.

[Kumori]

Reflex: [roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

Falling, you take [roll0] damage.

[Kumori]

I'll take a moment to heal myself up to full, then try to climb out. How deep is it?
Take 10 = 10 for climb, take 20 if needed.

[term1nally s1ck]

20'

At that turning, there's a door north and a turning east after 10'. At the turning, you see a door east after 20', and a split north after 10'.

[Kumori]

I'm not quite sure I understand.

Looking north, the corridor is 10' long then turns east with a door against the north wall. Then, looking east, there's a door east after 20' and a split north after 30'? That part confuses me.

[term1nally s1ck]

No, the split is 10' before the door. Sorry, wrote them in the wrong order.

[Kumori]

Ikioi will continue down the hall, taking the path north. Does the passage east end with the door, or continue in another direction?

[term1nally s1ck]

It ends there.

Or would do, if I were describing the right part of the map at all :(

From the original turning north, you see a corridor that turns east after 10', with no door, and the eastwards corridor goes 20' and stops. After 10', it splits north. Make a spot check.

[Kumori]

Finally posting from home, so I can update my map.

Spot: [roll0]

[Kumori]

Stupid roller...

Spot: [roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

Ok, I'm really annoyed at myself now.

There *is* a door north at the turn east, but the corridor turns north after 10 east, no continuing to a wall.

There's a notecard on the eastern wall at the turning north.

Are you darkvisioning, or do you have a torch?

[Kumori]

Torch. No Darkvision.
Ikioi will walk closely enough to poke at the notecard with his 10' pole. If it seems only lightly attached to the wall, he'll knock it off before moving close enough to read it.

[term1nally s1ck]

The notecard is red, is knocked off easily, and you read it.

"Boom."

[roll0] force damage.

[Kumori]

Charnal Touch back to full HP, then Ikioi will head up the north path.

[term1nally s1ck]

Turns right after 20', ends in a T after 30'.

[Kumori]

Left turn heading north.

[term1nally s1ck]

Uhhh..

Oh!

No, the corridor you are in has a split east after 20', and then ends in a T after 30'.

[Kumori]

I misread that then. Ikioi wil go up the corridor past the the turn, then go left at the 'T'. (That's west then, right?)

[term1nally s1ck]

Following it along, turning north again after 20', you get to a split after 10' north, from which you can see a door east 10' to your east, where the corridor turns north, a green notecard on the wall 10' north of you, where the corridor splits east, and the corridor turns east after 30'.

[Kumori]

This could be the last time Ikioi will read anything here, but he'll aproach the green notecard the same way he did the previous one before moving in to read it.

[term1nally s1ck]

You knock it off, but it seems to be folded over, making reading it as-is impossible.

[Kumori]

I fear this is a time for caution. Ikioi casts Mage Hand, using that to move the notecard so as to make it readible.

[term1nally s1ck]

"You've been poisoned. Have fun."

You don't feel any different. What's your fort modifier again?

[Kumori]

My fort is a +2. Do you need a save? [roll0]

Ikioi gets mad at the card and shoots an acidic splatter at it. [roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

The card melts. You feel no different, but remind me that you read it at the start of encounters from here, ok?

Continuing north around the corner.

[term1nally s1ck]

There's another eastward split 10 north of the one marked, and the one marked turns north after those 10'.

At the turning: Door south after 15', turns north afer 20'.

Continuing east down the hall, taking the turn north.

[Kumori]

... update?

[Leewei]

I'll do a hall update or two for you, Kumori.

10' North of the corner, there is a 4-way intersection. The North passage turns West after 10'. You cannot yet see more than 5' down the East or West passages.

[Kumori]

Thanks for taking over, at least for now.

Ikioi will continue down the passage, turning west at the four-way.

[Leewei]

You note that the Eastern section proceeds 20', then turn South.

The hallway proceeds 10' West, then turns North. 20' to the North, there is a door on both the West and East walls. After a total of 40', the passage turns East.

[Kumori]

Ikioi will continue down the hall, passing by the two doors and heading around the corner east.

[Leewei]

After 10'. it turns North again. After a further 10', it turns West. After 20', the passage turns South. After 20', it turns West again.

The passage branches North after 20'. It also proceeds West a further 10', then turns North.

[Kumori]

West and then to the north. Quite the zig zag at that part... I wish I were home to update my map.

[Leewei]

Which North? The branch, or the bend 10' later?

[Kumori]

The bend 10' later.

[Leewei]

It proceeds 10' North, then bends West again. 10' later, it merges into another passage. Looking North, you see that this passage turns East after 10'. To the South, it travels 20', then turns East.

[Kumori]

Turning south at this one.

[Leewei]

15' after turning East, there is a door on the South wall. After another 15', the passage turns South.

[Kumori]

This place really is extensive...

I'll be passing by the door, heading to the south.

[Leewei]

Just 5' to the South, there is a large bullseye on the floor. On the East wall here, you see a door. 45' further to the South, the passage splits, heading West. It also travels South to the 60' limit of your darkvision.

[Kumori]

No darkvision, just a torch. And that just has to be a trap... Ikioi will cast detect magic, first focusing on the bullseye, then looking around to see what can be learned from it.

[Leewei]

The bullseye strangely does not radiate magic.

[Kumori]

I'm gonna poke and prod and slap it with my 10' pole. Then throw an acid splatter at it for good measure.

Does anything else within 60' show as magic?

[Leewei]

Yes. A spot on the wall roughly 50' South of you does.

[Kumori]

The pole smacking and acid had no effect on the bullseye then? If not, Ikioi will continue down the hall to where the magic bit is shining through, concentrating on that area to see if he can learn anything.

Spellcraft: [roll0]

[Leewei]

You determine there are schools of abjuration and conjuration.

[Kumori]

It's probably not going to be anything good, but I'm going to back to the door on the east wall at the bullseye. First gently touching it with the 10' pole, then if nothing happens, my hand. If still nothing happens I'll put my ear to it, listening for any sounds from the other side.
Listen: [roll0]

[Leewei]

DM use: [roll0]

You don't hear anything through the door.

[Kumori]

Let's see what happens...

Ikioi will attempt to open the door. :smalleek:

[Leewei]

Opening the door reveals the following room:
{table]|A_|B_|C_
1|||
2|||
3||L|
4|||
5|||C [/table]
There is a door at A-2, and another at C1 east. There is a large lever with a bright red handle in the center of the room. There is a cake in the southeast corner of the room, on a tray bolted to the floor, with frosting reading something. . A note attached to the wall above the cake reads something else.

[Kumori]

Ikioi exits the room the same way he entered. Turning south down the corridor he goes to the spot in the wall that was glowy with magic. Poke with pole, smack with pole, then touch with hand.

[Leewei]

When he pokes it, a flash of greenish light erupts, followed by a spray of corrosive energy.

[roll0] vs FF Touch AC for [roll1] acid damage.

[Leewei]

Still playing?

[Kumori]

Yes, still playing. Just a little distracted with other things.

Stupid traps really are all over the place... Charnal touch back to full HP. Then he'll head back to the west split off the south path. Let's see what's down there, shall we?

Aren't I nice.

[Leewei]

The passage goes 10', then turns North and goes 20', ending in a door. After a 5' gap South of this door, on the West wall, there is another door.
