Neverending Dungeon - Bob (Moranica)

[Leewei]

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=283299)

[Moranica]

Bob takes a moment to focus his mind and realizes that a challenge lies ahead of him. Both he and his psicrystal move to the door and try to listen for any sounds on the other side of it.

Bob [roll0]
Psicrystal [roll1]

[Leewei]

Bob hears the sound of the ocean. Psicrystal hears nothing.

[Moranica]

Taking care not to stand in the doorway (at B4), Bob carefully opens the door.

Psicrystal stays in his square unless otherwise noted.

[Leewei]

You see a typical dungeon hallway, 5' wide. In the torchlight, you see the tunnel extending to the South and to the East from the doorway.

What kind of extraordinary senses do you have?

[Moranica]

I have .... a torch (I only have 10, so if possible I'll take the one from the 1st room. I carry my scythe in one hand, torch in the other, so I will have to drop the torch if I enter combat.

My psicrystal has

Sighted (Ex)
Although it has no physical sensory organs, a psicrystal can telepathically sense its environment as well as a creature with normal vision and hearing. Darkness (even supernatural darkness) is irrelevant, as are areas of supernatural silence, though a psicrystal still can’t discern invisible or ethereal beings. A psicrystal’s sighted range is 40 feet.

and is telepathically linked to me.

[Leewei]

A torch sheds normal light to 20', then shadowy light another 20'. The crystal doesn't notice anything different from what you see at the moment. The passage goes 35' South into a T-intersection with a similar W-E passage. 25' South, it branches to the East.

[Moranica]

Bob has his psicrystal check intikken the t intersection. If it seems safe he moves there as well.

Should i keep a map or will you?

[Leewei]

Feel free to map but ask for confirmation as needed.

The crystal moves to the intersection without incident. To your dismay, however, there is a pop and sizzle as you follow, just as you are about to step into the intersection. [roll0] vs ff-touch AC for [roll1] acid damage.

Along the way, you have noted the following:

The first East passage has a 4-way intersection at 10 feet, and a door on the North wall at 30'. It proceeds East into the darkness.

The second East passage turns North after 10'. You see the edge of a door on the East wall 5' North of this bend.

At the T-intersection, the West passage turns South after 10'. The East passage has a door on the North wall after 35'.

[Moranica]

Bob notices the damage to his body, but realizes he doesn't have time for rest. He also releases his stance, as it is silly to walk around with 2 less AC and not seeing any opponents. (changed in sheet) He moves east and listens at the door.

[Leewei]

As Bob approaches the door, he notices something on the floor that makes him feel uneasy. A large bullseye (5' diameter) has been painted on the floor in front of the door.

Did you still want to listen at the door?

[Moranica]

Bob searches for any triggers. If he doesn't find anything he also throws one of his torches (not on fire) in the bulls eye from at least 10 ft away.

[roll0]

[Leewei]

Bullseye! 50 points. The points, they do nothing. Next action?

[Moranica]

Bob feels awesome with his newly earned points. He uses his power Vigor (granting 5 tempory hp for 1 minute), steps forward, listens and if he hears nothing, he opens the door.

[Leewei]

He hears nothing, he opens the door.

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

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.

Also, knowledge checks

Arcana [roll0]

History [roll2]
Local [roll3]

[Leewei]

Knowledge-wise, you get nothing.

The man holding the beast back moves back from you and motions for you to leave. He has an action readied.

[Moranica]

Bob nods in understanding, points at the door at E3 and tries to exit through the door at E3. (first opening it if neccesary. Also closing it behind me)

[Leewei]

He nods, allowing you to pass. When you're 10 feet past him, you hear soft chanting. Looking back, you are blasted with light of every imaginable color. Make a Will save.

[Moranica]

Quickly Bob realizes he's in trouble. Using his Moment of perfect mind manuever to fight the effects of the light.

Moment of perfect mind allows me to use my concentration check instead of a will save.

[roll0]

Also, I assume the 1 acid damage went through my 2/adamantine dr?

[Leewei]

You succeed. You are now 10 feet from the human. You have a standard action left.

[Moranica]

Bob moves next to the man and his beast, dropping the torch and holding his scythe tightl.

"You really shouldn't have done that, you know...."

[Leewei]

The beast vanishes. The man steps toward the door from which you entered, then flicks a few gestures and blasts you with a ray of freezing magic.

Concentration: [roll0]

The magic has little effect.

[Moranica]

Bob smiles....

He takes on his punishing stance again (swift action, +1d6 damage, -2 ac) and swings at the man.

Attack [roll0] (in case of crit [roll1])
Damage [roll2] + [roll3]

[Leewei]

The human backs into the hallway and sends another riot of colors blasting through your senses. Will save, please!

[Moranica]

Did I hit? And do I get an attack of opportunity?

Will save [roll0]

[Leewei]

No to both. He 5-foot-stepped through a doorway and has cover from you until you follow. Save passed - your action.

[Moranica]

Bob steps closer (5 ft step) and swings again using his steely strike manuever (+4 ab, opponents also get +4 ab this turn).

Attack [roll0]; crit [roll1]
Damage [roll2] + [roll3]


ps. I only crit on nat. 20.

[Leewei]

You mess him up, but he doesn't fall down. On his action, he closes the door. You're up.

[Moranica]

Bob opens the door, steps forward into the hallway and yells:
"Surrender now!! And I'll let you live."

[Leewei]

You see him down the hall a ways. He blasts you with cold. [roll0] for [roll1] damage.

[Moranica]

(2 temp hp left)

Bob is furious and charges!

Attack [roll0]
Damage [roll1] + [roll2]

[Leewei]

The man retreats 5' and blasts you again: [roll0] for [roll1] cold. shoots wide.

[Moranica]

A step and Another swing!

Attack [roll0]
Damage [roll1] + [roll2]

[Leewei]

He backs up yet again and zaps: [roll0] (adjust by -1; still a miss) for [roll1] cold damage.

[Moranica]

A step and a swing!

Attack [roll0]
Damage [roll1] + [roll2]

[Leewei]

Whiff!

Step and zap: [roll0] for [roll1] cold.

[Leewei]

Wow, so that's what a spleen looks like.

(Not that it's needed here, but for future crits, please roll out the damage. In this case, you'd do an additional 6d4+3. Not bad!)

Gain 150xp, chain shirt, longsword

[Moranica]

Bob returns to the room, searching it for anything usefull. While walking back he takes note of what he sees.

[roll0]

Could you give me hall lengths etc. for my map?

[Leewei]

The hall he entered was actually the one from which you came into the room. You would note that it turns North, apparently wrapping around the SE corner of the man's room.

Searching typically involves a 5' x 5' section of dungeon. I can apply the roll to the first area of significance in the room if you'd like, but I'll still need an indication of how you proceed with the search. Would North to South rows with West to East squares (similar to reading) work for you?

[Moranica]

That would work well enough. I'm not sure how many rolls that would still require, so you can roll for me.

[Leewei]

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]
[roll4]
[roll5]

You don't notice anything unusual aside from a torch burning high on the wall. A closer look doesn't reveal anything unusual.

[Moranica]

Bob exits the room through the south door and goes W. All the way until the corner going north again and looks around it.

[Leewei]

The door is clearly the West entry to the room you just entered. The passage goes through the 4-way intersection you originally noted, then out of sight to the North.

[Moranica]

At the 4 way intersection, Bob goes left, goes left at the corner in front of the starting room. Then all the way down to the T split at which he goes right, till the corner.

[Leewei]

Just before reaching the 4-way, the floor collapses under your foot. Reflex DC15 or take [roll0] damage.

[Moranica]

[roll0]

Bob recharges his maneuvers and will try and continue as said before.

I should really call him Awesome Bob (with all those 20's)

[Leewei]

With a Move of 30 or higher, you can simply jump over the pit by taking 10. The passage continues North 20' past the intersection, then jogs East 10', then heads back North another 10' - into a T-intersection with a West-East passage.

[Moranica]

At the T intersection, Bob turns to the east.


Is my map still good? Blue are hallways, dark blue rooms, orange are doors and green are continueing hallways that I haven't discovered yet.
http://i55.tinypic.com/f383m1.jpg

[Leewei]

20' to the East, a hall branches off heading North. 30' to the East, there is a door on the South wall. Regarding the map, eliminate the F column and it looks pretty much spot on.

10' East of the T-intersection, the floor drops out again. Reflex DC-15 or take [roll0] damage.

Also, West of the T-intersection, the passage branches North at 20', then turns North at 30'.

[Moranica]

Reflex [roll0]

Bob uses vigor (5 new temp. hp!) and opens the door in the south wall.


OOC: Lol at holding on with the poor reflexes flaw.

[Leewei]

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

5|||||[/table]
There are doors at A5 south and E1 north.
Near the center of the room, a horribly ugly creature with dingy blue scales marred here and there by large, pinkish-white sections of scar tissue stands at the ready, tongues of blue fire licking fanglike white teeth. The creature appears to be wearing chainmail beneath the remnants of an outfit that is almost entirely burned away, with only a few charred remnants remaining.
Initiative: [roll0]


Feel free to roll initiative when opening doors.

[Moranica]

Init [roll0]

CHARGE!!!! (after he activates punishing stance and using steely strike manuever)

Attack [roll1]
Damage [roll2] + [roll3]

[Leewei]

The creature breathes fire at you. It clings to your arms and legs, hindering your movement. Take [roll0] /2 fire (Reflex 15 halves). Also, you're entangled for [roll1] rounds.

It then backs away, provoking an AoO (you're at -2 due to entanglement).

[Moranica]

Reflex [roll0]

Attack [roll1]
Damage [roll2] + [roll3]

[Moranica]

Awesome bob!

So the fire Damage is 2/2 /2?

Confirming Crit. [roll0]
[roll1]

Save didn't prevent me from getting entangled right?

[Moranica]

Assuming still being entangled and his foe more then 5 ft away.

Bob flourishes a bit with his scythe and so recovers his manuevers. (swift action to recover and standard action to do nothing)

[Leewei]

150xp, chainmail.

Minimum damage is always 1hp. You'll get burned for [roll0] the next round, then the fires burn out.

[Moranica]

Ouch, that's a nasty afterburn! I'm at 18 hp now.

Bob searches the room. (you can roll again)

When he's done, he exits through the south door at A5 and goes east.

[Leewei]

30' East of the door, there is another 4-way intersection. On your way there, you hear a menacing spritz. [roll0] vs FF Touch AC for [roll1] acid damage.

[Moranica]

Bob really starts to dislike intersections. :smallbiggrin:

He continues on eastwards.

(he releases his stance btw)
(searching the room gave no results? not that he's any good at it :smallbiggrin:)

[Leewei]

Nothing in the room. 20' East of the intersection, the passage turns South. There is a door on the East wall.

[Moranica]

Opening the door!

There is a door at A-6 west, another at E-1 and another at F-4. There is a kobold wearing a chain shirt and holding a short sword.
Initiative:[roll0]

[Leewei]

Noting your entrance, the kobold streaks to the door at A6 and attacks. As it does so, its outline and weapon blurs (it gains concealment).

[roll0], [roll1]

If either hits, [roll2] damage.
If both hit, add another [roll3] cold damage.

"Hey!! That's a nasty kobold!! Bad kobold!"

It tumbles back and moves in again, sword blazing.

[Leewei]

Concealment miss chance: [roll0] (1-20=miss)

If you hit, 150xp, small chain shirt, small shortsword, masterwork Tumble tool (gyroscopic kneepads)

[Moranica]

Can I use spellcraft of knowledge arcane to see if any of the items so far are magical?

Bob takes the exit at F4 after searching the room.

[Leewei]

Short of an epic level Spellcraft check, you'd need to use detect magic to determine if an item is magical.

[Leewei]

The passage goes East 10' from the door, then Winds North and South. Another pit trap pops open ([roll0] damage; Reflex DC15 negates this)

[Moranica]

reflex [roll0]

[Moranica]

Bob looks upon his ravaged body and activates his power stone.

Repair construct [roll0]

Soon, he would be able to do this himself.

He then continues north.

[Leewei]

Climbing out of the pit trap isn't terribly difficult. Once out, you continue and find yourself at a T-intersection with your passage merging East into a North-South hallway. Roughly 30' to the North, the passage turns West. 10' to the South, the passage also turns West. On the wall to the South, you see a large red notecard.

[Moranica]

Bob has his psicrystal go and read the notecard if possible, if not, Bob goes himself and will try to read it from 10 away.

[Leewei]

What languages does the psicrystal speak? Nevermind. Did some reading.

[Leewei]

Bob's psicrystal reads the note. BOOM! It takes [roll0] force damage.

[Moranica]

Ouch. Taking the south passage west.

[Leewei]

Another pit trap for [roll0] (DC25 reflex negates), then you're back at the SW door to the kobold room (coming from the South).

[Moranica]

Reflex [roll0]

This time Taking the north passage going west.

So close!

[Leewei]

You step on a tripwire, unleashing a dart. [roll0] vs FF AC for [roll1] damage. The dart has some stuff smeared on it as well. Ah, whatever.

[Moranica]

Psion coated slam Attack?

[term1nally s1ck]

Miss.

"Weg! Narf!"

It tumbles back and moves in again, sword blazing.

Tumble: [roll0]
Attack: [roll1] for [roll2] + [roll3] fire damage.

That was spectacular, up until it swung at you. It has concealment again. You're up.
Relevant. :P (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaI2IlHwmgQ&feature=player_profilepage#t=60s)

[Leewei]

Poison dart. Hurt like the dickens, but hey, you now have a dart. The poison doesn't seem to affect warforged particularly much.

[Moranica]

Sweet!! Bob's thinking about strapping the dart to his forhead and headbutting people in the face. :smallcool:

Still taking the north passage going west.

[Leewei]

30' after the turn, the passage branches to the North and continues to the West. You see a door on the South wall, heading to the kobold's room.

[Moranica]

Taking the north branche.

[Leewei]

It turns East, then after several feet North, then finally West again, before ending in a door.

[Moranica]

Bob uses vigor and opens the door.

Opening the door reveals the following room:

There is a door at A5 and C5.
On the wall at B-6, +15 elevation, there is a large, nearly dog-sized construct of bronze plating. It has a vaguely insectile shape, with an oval carapace, six spike-tipped legs, and a round head with two oversized mandibles protruding from its "mouth", which is little more than a wide, funnel-shaped hole.

The construct's head turns to look at you as you enter the doorway.

[Moranica]

Bob runs to the door on the opposite side of the room, exits and closes the door behind him.

[Leewei]

Opening or closing a door is a move action, as is crossing the room. If you'd like, you can cross and open the door.

[Moranica]

Sounds good!

[Leewei]

The creature turns its head and sprays you with acid for [roll0] damage (Reflex halves).

[Moranica]

Reflex [roll0] dc?

Bob goes through and closes the door.

[Leewei]

You beat the DC, so only 2hp of acid damage to you. You leave the room and enter another 5' wide hallway. The hall travels another 15', then terminates in a T-intersection with a North-South passage. After 5', the passage branches to the North. Peeking into this passage, you see that it goes 30' into a West-East T-intersection.

[Moranica]

That's 3 temp hp left for 7/8 rounds.

Following the hallway for 15 ft to the T. Going north there.

[Leewei]

After 10', the passage branches West. After 30', it turns East.

[Moranica]

Taking the east turn!

[Leewei]

After 10', you see the previously-mentioned T-intersection (the passage splits South). After 30', it splits North.

[Moranica]

Going north! :smallsmile:

[Leewei]

Acid sprays at you just before the corner: [roll0] vs FF Touch AC for [roll1] damage. The passage turns West for 10', then back North, then suddenly down. Reflex DC-15 or take [roll2] damage.

[Moranica]

Reflex [roll0]

To the next level? :smalltongue:

[Leewei]

20' deep pit. Fortunately, it's remarkably easy to climb out of. How many HPs are you at right now?

[Moranica]

14, and one pp left. He might go and try to rest somewhere soon. Warforged don't sleep, so after 8 hours of guard duty he should be good. :smallsmile:

Also, poor reflexes was the worst possible flaw to take. :)

He keeps heading north btw.

[Leewei]

Resting almost anywhere is unadvised, even for warforged.

After climbing out of the pit, you proceed. After traveling East for a bit, you find a green notecard on the wall. Immediately North of this, the passage merges into a T-intersection with a West-East passage.

[Moranica]

Bob reads the notecard.

[Leewei]

"Congratulations, you've been poisoned!"

Not that they could poison a warforged, ... could they?

Fort save, please.

[Moranica]

Fort [roll0]

Going east at t if i live.

[Leewei]

Whatever malfunction this has wrought seems too subtle for you to pin down. You proceed East. After 20', the passage turns South. It goes at least 40' South.

[Moranica]

Going south then!

[Leewei]

After 50', it turns West. A bit shy of 50', the floor falls out again. DC-15 or [roll0] damage.

[Moranica]

Ref [roll0]

Continueing on.

And not a single 1 so far. :smallbiggrin:

[Leewei]

The path shortly loops back to the T-intersection (West, East, North) you were at a little while ago. Unexplored passages are to the North (then West), or West and South.

[Moranica]

Going North, then west!

[Leewei]

The passage goes 40', then turns South. From there, you see a door on the East wall 20' to the South of the corner. One step toward it and the floor falls out yet again. Reflex 15 or take [roll0] damage.

[Moranica]

These floors.....

Reflex [roll0]

Bob will vigor and open the door.

Init [roll1]

Bob's Reflex saves continue to astound.

Opening the door reveals the following room:

[Moranica]

'Bring it!! Chipmunks!"

[Leewei]

You're enveloped in darkness. Two of the three creatures vanish immediately. Take [roll0] damage and roll a Fort save or take a point of Strength damage.

[Moranica]

If my damage reduction negates the damage, do I still roll fort?

In case I do. Fort [roll0]

Can I try and hit them in the direction I got hit from?

[Jarian]

*ninjasmokebomb*

Damage reduction applies only to physical attacks, and only specific types at that. The exact details are spelled out better in the Rules Compendium rather than the SRD, but untyped, elemental, or otherwise magical damage is unaffected by damage reduction.

*ninjasmokebomb*

[Leewei]

Whoa. Ninja!

I believe your DR does count against falling damage, by the way. Not the damage from these things, though.

Speaking of which, these are Skiurids - magical beasts from the plane of shadows. They somehow gather the life essence of their victims using the darkness they generate. The DR doesn't help here, but the Fort save succeeds, assuming warforged can be affected by stat damage at all.

The last one vanishes. Only swirling, wonky darkness is visible in the room.

[Jarian]

Falling damage is bludgeoning damage (except in the case of spiked pits or the like), which is reduced by DR, so yeah.

[Leewei]

Your action, by the way.

[Moranica]

I was doing the DR for falling damage already. (otherwise I'd be dead :smallbiggrin:)

Does my psicrystal see them? And can he help me attacking them?

[Leewei]

Hmm, good point. Your psicrystal also takes a point of damage. Is it with you or inside the room?

[Moranica]

In my square, I do believe it's immune though.

A psicrystal has immunity to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, necromancy effects, mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects), and any effect that requires a Fortitude save unless it also works on objects or is harmles. It is not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain. It cannot heal damage, but it can be repaired. Psicrystals do not have the usual construct traits of darkvision and low-light vision.

[Leewei]

It takes the point of damage, but isn't otherwise affected.

[Moranica]

Spellcraft [roll0] to know duration.

Spot(bob) [roll1]

Spot(Psi) [roll2] (he is sighted, so the darkness doesn't affect him)

If I can't attack them, Bob goes back out the room and closes the door. (there was only 1 door right?)

[Leewei]

No clue as to the duration. Both Bob and his pet rock are outside the room, adjacent to the one door. Bob and his pet can enter the room, or close the door as you see fit.

[Moranica]

If he isn't attacked outside the door, Bob waits there, otherwise he runs all the way back to the S chamber.

He would wait for 5 minutes, then open the door again.

Init [roll0]

[Leewei]

Actually, he isn't attacked, nor does the darkness affect him further (aside from hampering vision).

[Moranica]

Sweet, seaching the room then and taking 20 to do so. (22 total)

(might do this for all the other rooms :))

[Leewei]

DEATH FROM ABOVE!

The demon squirrels swarm down from the walls, nipping at you. It kind of tickles. After a while, it gets boring and you just kill them off.

You get 150xp. Also, a strange chunk of shadowy stuff about the size of a fig coalesces from the darkness.

[Moranica]

Nooooo.. aaaaaaaaaaahhhh.........the pain............

I imagine Bob having the squirels on him, running into a wall and crushing them.

Bob, being an idiot, eats the fig.

[Leewei]

Not that it'd do much, but can warforged actually eat?

[Moranica]

What was I supposed to do with it?

They don't need to eat, but they have a mouth so..... probably not.

Also het searches the room.

[Leewei]

Aside from dead demon squirrels and an unappetizing lump of shadowy goo (with warforged tooth marks), you don't find anything.

[Moranica]

Bob closes the room from the inside (only 1 door right?) and stands against the door to prevent anybody from coming in. He waits like this until his power points have replenished.

All is fair in love and Awesome Bob dungeons.

...... just realised the DM part meant I wasn't supposed to read that. Sorry!

DM:
I'm intrigued as to how someone is bull-rushing a sliding door...

DM quotes should be seen as private, FYI.

TS, I'm not aware of anything special about these doors. Is there something somewhere that I should read?

[Leewei]

Hit, not killed.

HOWWWL-HEEHEEHEE!

[roll0] for [roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

Erm, oops. I may have not actually included that in the notes...:smallredface:

Carry on as is for now, I'll do an edit.

[Moranica]

Ouch!

Activating puniching stance and steely strike.

Attack [1d20+6[/roll]
Damage [roll0] + [roll1]

[Moranica]

[roll0]

Nervous breakdown.

He has +4 attack as well, if he lives.

[term1nally s1ck]

Steely strike is -4 AC to all targets except the one you hit.

[Jarian]

+4 to attack, not -4 to AC. Relevant for things like Sapphire Nightmare Blade.

[Leewei]

You finish off the creature, which howls in rage before disolving away into smoke. No XP or loot, but your injuries seem real enough.

[Moranica]

Can Bob resume his "rest" or would he need to start over again?

[Leewei]

Rest needed is extended by 1 hour per interruption. In effect, he'd need to start over.

Of relevence to Bob:Daily Power Point AcquisitionTo regain used daily power points, a psionic character must have a clear mind. To clear his mind, he must first sleep for 8 hours. The character does not have to slumber for every minute of the time, but he must refrain from movement, combat, manifesting powers, skill use, conversation, or any other demanding physical or mental task during the rest period. If his rest is interrupted, each interruption adds 1 hour to the total amount of time he has to rest to clear his mind, and he must have at least 1 hour of rest immediately prior to regaining lost power points. If the character does not need to sleep for some reason, he still must have 8 hours of restful calm before regaining power points.

[Moranica]

The path shortly loops back to the T-intersection (West, East, North) you were at a little while ago. Unexplored passages are to the North (then West), or West and South.

Going back to this part and taking the west path.

[Leewei]

There are two West passages. You're pretty sure one gets you back to the squirrel room. The other leads to another T-intersection (North-South passage) with a door. The passage to the North turns West immediately. You're pretty sure the South branch takes you back to that nasty kobold.

[Moranica]

Btw, I stopped mapping, it was impossible. Taking the north passage.

[Leewei]

After turning West, the passage goes 30' into a T-intersection with a North-South passage. Immediately West of you, you see a door on the South wall. And in front of that door? A 5-foot diameter bullseye menages from the floor.

[Moranica]

Bob goes back to the other door (at the T) and opens it.

Init [roll0]

[Leewei]

Opening the door reveals the following room:
{table]|A_|B_|C_|D_
1||||
2||C|C|
3||C|C|
4||C|C|
5||||[/table]
The room contains a Collossal Paragon Infernal Half-dragon Dire Mimic large chest with a note attached to it’s latch. There are doors at C5, D2 and D1 north.

[Moranica]

I have my crystal read the note. Unless it doesn't explode etc. I open the chest.

[Leewei]

Disappointingly, it fails to explode.

The note reads, "Greater rewards await the patient man, but only a fool waits forever."

Still open the chest?

[Moranica]

Yup. :) i do.

[Leewei]

Inside, you see a lot of empty chest. Also, 4 shiny platinum coins.

[Moranica]

Sweet, (1 coin for each room?).

Bob takes the coins and goes to the door with the bulleye. He throws the chainshirt he got as loot on the bullseye. If nothing happens, he steps on it and opens the door.

Init [roll0]

[Leewei]

Actually, that's just the North door to this room. Happily, you do beat the chest's initiative roll.

[Moranica]

Bob realises he's been running around in circles. Time for a new approach!

Taking only routes that he is familiar with Bob goes to the farthest SE unexplored route possible.


(is this ok?)

[Leewei]

That's fine. Do you have a preference for South or East?

[Moranica]

South :smallbiggrin:

[Leewei]

You travel the passages near the kobold's room quite thoroughly. You then proceed West, looking for more passages to the South -- and find one at a 4-way roughly between the kobold's and the fire-breather's rooms. The South branch of the passage turns West after 10'. You see a door on the South wall immediately afterward. You also see a blue note card hanging on the wall.

[Moranica]

My psicrystal will read the note.

After that (if he lives) I will open the door.

Init [roll0]

Bob isn't very good at these initiatives.

[Leewei]

"Burn me for help in times of trouble."

Take the note (Y/N)?

Also, opening the door reveals the following room:
{table]|A_|B_|C_|D_|E_
1|||||
2|||||
3||||1|
4|||||
5||||| [/table]
There is an orc in the middle of the room, twirling a wickedly serrated spear between its hands as it performs what you assume to be combat maneuvers. Beneath its simple uniform, you make out the pattern and distinctive rustle of chainmail.

The orc pauses mid-swing as it notices you, adjusting its stance to one of calm readiness.
Initiative:[roll0]

[Leewei]

"CHARGING MINOTAUR!"

Bull Rush: [roll0]

Make an opposing Strength check.

[Moranica]

Yes, sounds good. :smallbiggrin:

[Moranica]

I cannot make that. :)

[roll0]

I am heavy metal though!

[Leewei]

Take [roll0] damage.

[Moranica]

NOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAHHHH

.......

silence....

Bob has died...


Apparently he couldn't live up to his name.. Awesome Bob. Now he is just Bob and another Bob will take up the title Awesome Bob.

[Moranica]

I want to thank you for running this for me. I had loads of fun and will definatly try again!

[Leewei]

Stabsy (this orc) is probably the single nastiest encounter on 1st floor. He killed the hell out of my character the first time through as well.

[Moranica]

ToB is strong!! Awesome Bob is on the bench already. :smallbiggrin:

[Jarian]

Leewei/DMs:Stabsy has 14 dex. Why is his initiative a straight d20 roll?

Also, his room is suspiciously lacking in doors since the update. :smallwink:

[Leewei]

Jarian:I'm just stupidly copying and pasting from the GoogleDoc. TS maintains it. If I'm given edit rights, I'd be happy to fix it.

[term1nally s1ck]

:smallredface::smallredface::smallredface:

I'd name the colour sprayer, stabsy, and bernie the three hardest encounters. Hard to pick one. Also, problem fixed.

[Moranica]

I don't think I've met Bernie yet. Can't wait. :smallbiggrin:

[Leewei]

By the way, has Bob mk2 been checked?

[Moranica]

It got some comments, so I made the adjustments and am ready to get final check.

Lot's of small adjustments. His playstyle will be the same. :smallbiggrin:

This time I'm going try and keep the map up to date and in proper order.

[Leewei]

We're going to need someone with Tome of Battle to check that sheet, Moranica. Once that's done, I'd be happy to DM you again. Alternately, if you can give me a list of changes from the original, I'll see what I can do.

[Moranica]

Changelog:
16 con 12 str -> 14 con 14 str
Scythy -> Longsword and shield
Boost construct feat -> Vital recovery feat (heals after each encounter)
Psionic body (2hp/psionic feat) -> Body fuel (recover pp by taking ability damage)
Poor reflexes (flaw) -> Shaky (flaw)
Force screen (power) -> Catfall (power)
Steel wind (manuever, allows attack on 2 enemies) -> Saphire nightmare blade (manuever, conc. check for extra 1d6 damage)
Punishing stance (extra 1d6 damage, -2 AC) -> Stance of clarity (+2 AC vs 1 opponent, -2 vs the others)
Bought extra: 10-foot pole, power stone (control flames), power stone (grease)

To sum it up
- Higher AC
- Less hp (21 -> 14)
- A lot more healing
- A lot more power points (through body fuel -1 str, -1 con, -1 dex for 2 pp)
- A 10 ft pole to prod the ground in front of me.

[Leewei]

Looks good.

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.

Map:{table]|A_|B_|C_
1|||

There is a door at C-4, south side.

DM notes:Sheet (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=283299)

[Moranica]

NAB or New Awesome Bob searches the room. (take 20)

He then opens the door.

[Leewei]

Nothing discovered in the room.

The door opens to a hallway that proceeds South and East.

To the South, it proceeds 35' into a T-intersection with a West-East passage. It also branches East at 25'.

Due to the door location, you cannot see farther than 5' East before entering the passage.

[Moranica]

Putting his shield on his back and sword on his side, Bob then takes his 10 ft pole and moves out of the room while prodding the hallway with the pole. He then turns east.

[Leewei]

How far can your character see? Aside from torchlight spilling from the first room, the hallway is dark.

[Moranica]

I take the torch with me. Can I use the pole with 1 hand?

[Leewei]

It'll be awkward, but I'll allow it if your character doesn't have a weapon ready.

[Moranica]

:smallbiggrin: So be it, he's using the pole and torch, if he meets combat he'll drop it and grab his sword and shield. (he'll switch before every door as well)

[Leewei]

Next question: How and where does your character use the 10' pole?

[Moranica]

While walking through the hallways he taps/prods the floor in front of him to look for (mainly) pit traps.

[Leewei]

The East passage extends beyond the limit of your torchlight.

10' to the East, there is a 4-way intersection. 30' to the East, in shadowy light, you make out a door on the North wall.

Proceeding toward the door, you trigger a pit trap with your pole just as you cross the intersection. Jumping the pit is a DC of 10; unfortunately, your modifier is too low to allow you to just take 10. There may be other ways across the pit, if you get creative.

[Moranica]

Bob is an idiot and his jump check is his best. Jumping!

[roll0]

Taking the north turn.

[Leewei]

The North passage actually doesn't require a jump check. The pit trap is 10' East of the intersection.

20' North of the intersection, you turn East. After 10', you turn back North. After another 10', you end up in a T-intersection with a West-East passage.

[Moranica]

:smallbiggrin: You see, Bob really is an idiot, jumping over non existant pit traps.

Taking the western passage.

[Leewei]

20' West of you, the passage splits, heading North. Another 10' after, it turns North.

You can also see to the East from the intersection. 20' to the East, a passage splits off heading North. 30' to the East, there is a door on the South wall. The passage also continues beyong the range of your torchlight.

Heading West, you reach the intersection without incident. You see the North branch turn East after 20'.

[Moranica]

Continueing west, past the branch and around the corner going north again, until the first intersection.

Btw, how many attempts did it take you to beat lvl 1?

[Leewei]

The passage goes North 30', then turns East. At 20', you trigger a pit trap with your 10' pole.

My character actually made it through on his second attempt. I had both good and bad luck contributing to that record. I just wrapped up 3rd floor a couple days ago. There are currently four floors available.

[Moranica]

Jump [roll0]

And continuing on.

All with the same char?

[Leewei]

That jump check fails. [roll0] damage.

Yep, I used the same character. TS elected to change some game mechanics, so I got to re-spec the character at the end of 3rd floor. He's essentially the same, though. Dwarven (mostly) Ranger // Wizard

[Moranica]

Crap, also used the wrong mod for my jump. It's with a -3.

I use catfall to prevent the falling damage (immediate action, 1 pp)

I keep going north, then east.

[Leewei]

You climb out without further issue. After turning East, the passage goes 20', then turns South. After 10' South, it turns West. Also, there is a door at this corner on the East wall.

[Moranica]

When Bob gets to the door he switches to his sword and shield, laying the pole and torch on the ground. He uses vigor and opens the door.

Init [roll0]

[Leewei]

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

There are doors at A3 and F4 south.
In the room is a gray wrinkled humanoid, crawling low with claws extending from it's hands.
Initiative: [roll0]

[Leewei]

"AROOO!!!!"

The thing charges at you, slashing viciously: [roll0] for [roll1]

[Moranica]

Bob activates his stance (I forgot to switch it on, but it will be on always from now on)

And takes a swing at the guy using his saphire nightmare blade manuever.

Concentration check [roll0] vs. his AC
Attack [roll1] (-2 if conc. check fails)
Damage [roll2] + (if conc. check is good) [roll3]

[Leewei]

Bob slashes at the creature, infuriating it.

"Rar!"

It slashes twice:
[roll0] for [roll1]
[roll2] for [roll3]

[Moranica]

Realizing he is now taking some real damage Bob swings again. (swift action to recover manuever.

Attack [roll0]
Damage [roll1]

[Leewei]

"Rar twice!"

[roll0] for [roll1]

[roll2] for [roll3]

[Moranica]

Alright, saphrire blade stuff again!!

Concentration check [roll0] vs. his AC
Attack [roll1] (-2 if conc. check fails)
Damage [roll2] + (if conc. check is good) [roll3]



EPIC BATTLE!!!

[Leewei]

"Rar yet again!"

[roll0] for [roll1]
[roll2] for [roll3]

[Moranica]

And once more!! (good thing warforged don't tire)

(swift to recover + vital recovery (heals 4 hp))

Attack [roll0]
Damage [roll1]

If I kill him, I search the room (take 20)

[Leewei]

Not dead yet. Also, "RAAAR!"

[roll0] for [roll1]
[roll2] for [roll3]

[Moranica]

Bob tirelessly swing his longsword again.

Attack [roll0]
Damage [roll1]

[Leewei]

"...rar?"

150xp, no lewt.

[Moranica]

Bob goes back through the door he entered and switches back to Pole and Torch. He then procedes West (using the pole again).

[Leewei]

The passage extends West 10', then South 20', where it hits the West-East passage you followed over here. Halfway there, you get goobed on by a trap:

[roll0] for [roll1]

[Moranica]

Bob goes back into the room and opens the door at F4 South.

[Leewei]

Another 5' wide passage. It goes 10' South into a T-intersection with a West-East passage. You're pretty sure it's the same passage you came up earlier. The passage also bends and goes East at your door.

[Moranica]

Bob goes to the door in the south wall, east of the T-split.

He switches to sword and shield and opens the door.

Initiative [roll0]

Bob is so good at initiative stuff.

[Leewei]

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

There are doors at A5 south and E1 north.
Near the center of the room, a horribly ugly creature with dingy blue scales marred here and there by large, pinkish-white sections of scar tissue stands at the ready, tongues of blue fire licking fanglike white teeth. The creature appears to be wearing chainmail beneath the remnants of an outfit that is almost entirely burned away, with only a few charred remnants remaining.
Initiative: [roll0]

[Leewei]

"Fwoar"

You're on fire!

[roll0] /2 damage, DC15 Reflex halves (min 1) fire.

Also, you're entangled for [roll1] rounds. Gooey napalm breath.

[Moranica]

Reflex [roll0]

Bob moves next to him. (that's 10 ft right?, which is Bob's max move)

[Leewei]

Okay. Bob also has a standard action, albeit with penalties for being entangled.

[Moranica]

He swings his sword! SAPHIRE NIGHTMARE BLADE!!!

Concentration [roll0] vs AC
Attack [roll1] -2 penalty right? (another -2 if conc. fails)
Damage [roll2] + [roll3] (if conc is good)

[Leewei]

Miss.

You take [roll0] fire damage.

The thing backs up and breathes again for [roll1] damage, Reflex DC15 halves.

[Moranica]

Reflex [roll0] including dex penalty

Bob swings again. Steely strike.

Attack [roll1]
Damage [roll2]

[Leewei]

Hit but not dead. He backs away and breathes again: [roll0] fire, DC15 reflex halves.

[Leewei]

Also, [roll0] fire from the entangling.

[Moranica]

Omg, we have a new dead awesome bob.

Making a minor adjustments. Switching body fuel for improved initiatief.

Care to rerun? :)
