Neverending Dungeon: Nameless One (theterran)

[term1nally s1ck]

You awake in a square room.

There are vending machines you can use twice, there are 7 colored arrows, and there is a note next to a switch.

[theterran]

Woohoo!

Nameless will go and read the note! :smallsmile:

[term1nally s1ck]

"Press me when you're ready to leave"

[theterran]

...So that didn't change...:smallwink:

Alright, I will simply start at the top right arrow, and work my way clockwise.

I'll use a swift action to shift into "Scent" stance...(It's the only stance I have, so I'll just stay in it). I will then cast Mage Armor (lasts 3 hours), And holding a wand of alter self, I will step on the top right arrow.

[term1nally s1ck]

Top right arrow. Woot.

Red arrow, you find yourself in a 40' by 40' room, at the very southwest corner.

There's a Bloated red human-thing in the centre, in chainmail and holding a greatsword. The area seems covered in this dark light streaming up from the ground? Make a spot check. And a survival check. And roll init.

[roll0]

[theterran]

:smalleek: Survival!?! :smalleek:

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2] (Nat 20!)
[roll3]
[roll4]
[roll5]

(3 knowledge checks are to see if I know what it is)

[term1nally s1ck]

Niiice rolling. You recognise the creature as a Bloodhulk fighter, the sand under it as Black sand, and you note that only the outer 5' of the room is clear of the black sand.

[theterran]

Looks like I'm staying on the outer 5ft then.

Assuming he's within 30ft, I'll Fiery Burst him, using an inspiration.
Fire [roll0] Reflex DC18 Halves.

[term1nally s1ck]

[roll0] reflex.

He moves within reach, shifts into a stance, and smacks you:

[roll1] for [roll2]

[theterran]

Miss.

If I 5ft step away, will I still be in melee range? :smalleek:

[term1nally s1ck]

Yup. :smallamused:

[term1nally s1ck]

Oh, and [roll0] neg energy.

[theterran]

I guess I won't 5ft step...(and I'm not in the Black Sand, so why am I taking damage?)

I will activate the wand in hand (which shouldn't provoke an AoO), turning myself into a Troglodyte.

I will then drop the wand. (Is he within 5ft of me?)

If he is within 5ft of me, I draw my sword.

And I'm done.

[term1nally s1ck]

You aren't taking damage, he's healing.

He is within 5'.

He attacks again:

[roll0] for [roll1]

[roll2] more heals.

[theterran]

Lovely...

Another Fiery Burst with Inspiration.

Fire [roll0] Reflex Halves DC18.

[term1nally s1ck]

[roll0] ref.

[roll1] for [roll2]

[roll3] healed.

EDIT: 15 damage dealt so far.

Remember, the darkness from the black sand will give you a 20% miss chance if you try to attack him with something that isn't FB.

EDIT2: What's your AC atm?

[theterran]

AC = 29

More Fiery Burst + Inspiration!

[roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

Yikes.

[roll0] ref, [roll1] healing. EDIT: 18 damage taken.

[roll2] for [roll3]

[theterran]

More Fiery Burst, sans inspiration

[roll0]

(I'm beginning to see a pattern here :smallwink:)

[term1nally s1ck]

This thing has over 150 HP. We could be here a long time.

[roll0] for [roll1]

[roll2] ref, [roll3] healing. EDIT: 20 damage taken.

[theterran]

Yep...we'll be here a while...:smallconfused:

Swift Action: Burning Blade.
Standard Action: Shadow Blade Technique.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[roll2]+[roll3]
[roll4] (if both hit)

[roll5] Miss Chance. :smallsigh:

Swing and a miss...I guess I better stick with FB...

[term1nally s1ck]

[roll0] for [roll1] [roll2] healing. 18 damage taken.

[theterran]

[roll0]:smallsigh: - reroll coming...

Should probably start keeping track of the rounds...

AlterSelf (6/300)

[theterran]

Reroll for FB
[roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

[roll0] [roll1] 28 damage taken.

[roll2] for [roll3]

[theterran]

[roll0]

Alter Self (7/300)

(edit)

Would it be prudent to roll 10 rounds at a time? :smallconfused:

[term1nally s1ck]

Probably, yes, given that with max rolls from you and min rolls from me he still survives all 10.

[roll0] [roll1]

[roll2] for [roll3]

[roll4] [roll5]

[roll6] for [roll7]

[roll8] [roll9]

[roll34] for [roll35]

[roll36] [roll37]

[roll38] for [roll39]

[theterran]

Okay, we'll go to your 6th attack, then I'll have to do something different...

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

Then you hit me a second time...and I have to Jaunt 10ft away...

[term1nally s1ck]

61 damage taken.

[theterran]

Does the thing follow after I Jaunt away? :smallconfused:

[term1nally s1ck]

It does, yes, moving once again adjacent and attacking as before. Still some rolls to use.

[theterran]

Wait, it attacks, so I jaunt during its attack, so it can move and attack me again all in the same turn? :smalleek:

[term1nally s1ck]

No, but unless you intend to move too far away it will be moving to attack you on the start of its next turn. I've been waiting on your turn since the A-J...

[theterran]

Ah.
Move Action, draw a Potion of Faith Healing.

Standard Action:

FB + Inspiration:
[roll0]

When he moves to attack, does he charge, or move?

[term1nally s1ck]

He moves, staying out of reach to avoid AoOs.

[theterran]

:smallsigh:

I have to Jaunt again. As that one is a Crit...

Then on my turn, I'll move 30ft further around the edge of the room, then drink the potion I drew.

Back to you.

[term1nally s1ck]

You'll have to move around a corner either way, allowing him to follow and still attack.

[theterran]

Alright, I'll take the 11 Damage off of that...

[roll0]

You attack and miss.

[roll1]

(You currently do not have a REF save for the above)

Alter Self (17/300)

[term1nally s1ck]

So, more rolls. Woo.

[roll0] ref, [roll1] healing. EDIT: 62 damage taken. This is definitely going to take a while.

I will Jaunt on the Attack = 33, and use a move action to draw a potion of Faith Healing (but will keep FBing away).

[roll9]
Need a new Reflex for this one.

Alter Self 27/300

[term1nally s1ck]

On the 7th day, he rested Goes down.

[theterran]

Alright,

I put the MW Greatsword, MW Chainmail, and the 750 XP in my sack and drag them to the arrow. :smallsmile:

[term1nally s1ck]

You 'port' back to the central room.

[theterran]

Once back, I unload the mail and the sword out of the bag, leaving them on the floor.

I chug a Faith Healing Potion, and quickly move to the next arrow. (clockwise, starting from top right)

[term1nally s1ck]

Oooh, an original.

You appear in a room. The floor is made of sand. U is you, J are jackal sacrophagi, while the H appears like a human. D is a large door.

[theterran]

I will move to within 10ft of the Jackal in B6 and search it (take 20)

[term1nally s1ck]

It seems like it will open. There's no lock, and no mechanism you can detect tied to opening it.

[theterran]

Alright, I'll bite.

I'll open it...

[term1nally s1ck]

Inside it is a swarm of spiders.

[roll0]

[theterran]

[roll0]

Fiery Burst the stupid spiders!

Now with Inspiration!
[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

deaded. fried spiders.

[theterran]

Search the Jackel in D9, take 20.

[term1nally s1ck]

Again, no lock no traps.

[theterran]

Open it.

[roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

same again.

[theterran]

More Fiery Goodness w/ Inspiration
[roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

Crispy spiders.

[theterran]

I'll move to the one with the human looking one and search (take 20)

If no traps...open

[roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

You recieve monies!!!!

[roll0] gp pours out, along with a large amount of sand. Know: Arcana check.

[theterran]

Go Go Check!
[roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

You know nothing.

[theterran]

Lovely...

I'll head for the large door...

Search it for traps..(Take 20)...

Then open it if nothing is found.

[term1nally s1ck]

Very large room. Spot check please.

[theterran]

Perception checks.

[roll0](a 3!?!? :smallfurious:)
[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

You are aware of a creature around 100' away at the north end of the room.

It is aware of you, too.

[roll0]

[theterran]

[roll0]

Knowledge Checks (to ID the thing)
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]

[term1nally s1ck]

It's a Web Mummy Varag.

[theterran]

:smallconfused:So where's the Tomb Spider:smallconfused:

Take a Standard Action to do an active spot/Listen check for the Spider.
Swift Action: take the Scent Stance.

[roll0] (The RNG hates me)
[roll1]

I'll move 20 feet toward the mummy while actively looking.

Edit:
Could you tell me if I see any webs? surely those wouldn't be hard to miss...:smallconfused:

[term1nally s1ck]

They are fairly transparent. Spot DC is 20.

By the way, you're entangled. :smallbiggrin: Str DC 20 or escape artist DC 25 to break free. the usual str checks to move.


You don't see the spider.

The creature charges across the room, hitting you.

[roll0] for [roll1] magic slashing damage
On 32-34:
[roll2] for [roll3]

[theterran]

Gay!

[roll0] (:smallannoyed:)

[term1nally s1ck]

Is that your round to try and escape, or...?

BTW, when you attack, make a reflex save.

[theterran]

Yeah, according to the SRD, trying to escape from a web is a full-round action...:smallconfused:

[term1nally s1ck]

[roll0] for [roll1]
18-20:
[roll2] for [roll3]

[theterran]

Question:
Am I entangled in a web? as in, if I AJ out of the web, would I still be entangled? :smallconfused:

[term1nally s1ck]

You would be entangled, but no longer unable to move.

[theterran]

:smallsigh:

better than nothing I guess...

When it attacks, I AJ back toward where I started (Not sure how far I made it before I got caught)

On my turn. I do my Fiery Burst thing. with some added inspiration fun.
[roll0]

[roll1] (If I need it)

[term1nally s1ck]

The webbing around it catches fire.

[roll0] fire damage also.

[term1nally s1ck]

It charges.

[roll0] for [roll1]
18-20
[roll2] for [roll3]

[theterran]

Fun. W/ Inspiration

[roll0] (Reflex for Half, which you failed to roll previously)

[term1nally s1ck]

Oooh, true.

I forgot you can halve damage. What's the DC?

[roll0]

[roll1]

[roll2]

[roll3] for [roll4]
18-20
[roll5] for [roll6]

Died.
A swarm appears from its corpse. Same init.

[term1nally s1ck]

[roll0] damage, and 2 fort saves please.

[theterran]

[roll0]
[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

O_o

You now get hurt by healing, and you're nauseated.

[theterran]

I'll move away from the swarm, back toward the door.

(How long am I effected by the TTS effect?)

[term1nally s1ck]

It follows!!

[roll0] damage and 2 fort saves.

[theterran]

[roll0]
[roll1]

*crosses Fingers*

Spend 2 Inspiration to bump both saves (hopefully this will work)

[term1nally s1ck]

pass and pass.

[theterran]

Sweet...I will attempt to catch it on fire!

[roll0] Not sure if swarms get reflex saves, but its DC 17 for half.

[term1nally s1ck]

[roll0].

[roll1] damage, and 2 fort saves.

[theterran]

[roll0]
[roll1]

:smallsigh:

[term1nally s1ck]

nothing new happens. (still hurt by heals.)

[theterran]

More Fire

[roll0] Reflex DC 17

[theterran]

Double post to make sure my previous post shows on my subscription.

[term1nally s1ck]

kill. 750XP, loot to follow. A teleporter appears in the corner of the room.

[theterran]

W00t! Level 5! :smallwink:

I'll go hop on the teleporter, and hope it takes me back to the main room (after I pick up whatever loot there is)

[theterran]

Alright, I'll leave my loot on the floor, wait until I'm no longer Cursed by TTS, then drink a potion of Faith Healing, then proceed to the next teleport pad.

[Deadlykire]

I'm not exactly sure where you are, seems like floor 4. I will have to search the notes for your last encounter (TS handled this thread different than the others.) Also: I live in NC too! Hope you are having better weather than we are, I'm in a 14+ inch drought.

[theterran]

Yeah, I'm a "special" case :smallwink:

[term1nally s1ck]

I will continue this for now also, while I'm still writing it up.

Oh, and if you would, Deadly, I'd appreciate a heads up when people reach the 4th floor. Since it's the only floor with my own content in, I have a slight vested interest in how well it works out. (Plus, I'm kind of iffy on the balance of one of the encounters. I'm already nerfing it from original concept, but it's still kinda scary.)

[term1nally s1ck]

Ok. Your next teleporter takes you to a large room of hot-springs. It's all very relaxing and pretty, and the rocky ground even seems decorated by silver and white veins of minerals.

Make a spot check (Or Survival/Knowledge(Nature))

[theterran]

[roll0]
[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

You are unaware of anything.

After about a round, Make a Ref save vs Entangle.

And after that, the 'minerals' come alive, making an attack on you:

[roll0] for [roll1]

If it hits, grapple check: [roll2] for [roll3]


It turns out to be a giant plant.

[theterran]

Swing and a miss!

I'll Fiery Burst it w/ Inspiration! [roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

Ref save vs entanglement, too.

[roll0] ref, and he resists most of the damage even on a fail.

Ref save vs entangle again.

[roll1] for [roll2] and grapple: [roll3] for [roll4]

[theterran]

O right.

[roll0]


[roll1]


And miss again.

I will cast Fist of Stone, then draw out my Shortsword.

[term1nally s1ck]

Pass x2

Ref save again, DC 13, then:

[roll0] for [roll1]

If hit:

[roll2] for [roll3]

[term1nally s1ck]

Crit confirm:

[roll0] for [roll1]

[theterran]

And I die.
