3.5: Poke-Nerds Play D&D

[MesiDoomstalker]

The sky has been slowly darkening all day, and the smell of rain has been thick in the air. Now it has finally begun to fall, accompanied by loud peals of thunder that seem to roll across the landscape. The sun is hidden behind massive stormclouds, and a cold wind blows from the north. As bolts of lightning begin to slam from cloud to ground and pieces of hail begin to strike the earth, the need for shelter becomes obvious. Ahead in the distance, a large tor rises from the
ground, its form illuminated by the occasional lightning bolt. It seems rocky and solid, and though climbing it in this weather would be folly, it might have some outcropping that would provide safety from the storm. The only alternative
is to endure the weather.

Why you wonder these rolling hills is your own business, but soon you must find shelter. The rain quickly soaks through your outer clothes.

[Arcran]

Roth looks around at the downpour, sighing in disappointment. It was a new shirt too. He starts to look for something closer than the hill before Spinel speaks up.

Roth. No time for thinking, just go.

Roth doesn't argue, striding forward into the rain, silently trudging towards the hill.

DIBS

[IrnBruAddict]

Grayvenn just smirks up at the rain and spurs his horse. "Come, Rainbow Dash." He knew from experience that it was best not to test nature when she was in a foul mood. He was just glad he had bought a tent.

[Esprit15]

Bleh, cold. Cold was fine. It was the rain and wind together that made it unbearable. Hopefully there was someone else living out here. Maybe a crazy old mountain man or something. "If so, best make nice. Might need to mooch a bit of shelter." The weather was supposed to be sunny and clear today. Bull. He picks up his walking pace towards the hill.

[Cormag81]

Plip-plop. The sound of the first raindrops hitting the hood of his cloak snaps Thanatos out of his remincant mood and forces him to check his surroundings for shelter, seeing that he is not 50 yards from a alcove in the side of a large tor he heads over and lays out his bedroll. once his bed is mad he heads back out into the storm to attempt to gather some firewood before it gets to wet to burn.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Grayvenn

Rainbow Dash races through the torrent, up the tor. The massive tor towers above the surrounding country. A few narrow ledges offer scant protection from the elements, but a closer inspection reveals a massive, arched entryway at least 20 feet tall and 10 feet wide, set into the side of the hill. The ground just outside it slopes away from the doorway, directing the falling water out and away. Given this fact and the sturdy nature of the hill, whatever space lies beyond the door should be both dry and safe from lightning and hail. The
construction seems quite sturdy, so the likelihood of collapse, even in severe conditions such as these, is remote.

You arrive first, due to having a horsey. Everyone else will arrive a bit later.

Thanatos

Getting close to the alcove you thought you saw, you quickly find out it was a trick of the light. There is no alcove. However you notice a large opening into the tor a little ways further down.

You'll arrive after Irn

[IrnBruAddict]

He dismounts off his horse and removes his everburning torch. He then leads Dash on foot up to the inside of of the archway, taking a look inside for shelter.

[Cormag81]

"drat. I need to find cover somewhere." Thanatos re-shoulders his bedroll and pack and keeps moving up to the top of he for Thanatos sees another weary traveler and his horse and begins to move toward him.

[Eshkigal]

Roth, you finally get close enough to see something unusual on the hill. There seems to be a light source out there, and it might be near shelter.

Meanwhile, Ianben manages to see hope! Beyond the rocks, there seems to be a horse in the distance, entering into something. Maybe a cave?

[Arcran]

Roth, you finally get close enough to see something unusual on the hill. There seems to be a light source out there, and it might be near shelter.

Almost there little buddy, Roth says in his mind to Spinel, dashing through the rain as fast as he can, hoping the chill wouldn't ruin any of his gear. He makes a beeline for the light.

[Esprit15]

A horse? Odd that it would be here alone. Unless it had an owner. More importantly, it was entering somewhere, hopefully somewhere dry. He walks briskly towards the opening. "Hey! Someone out there?"

[MesiDoomstalker]

Grayvenn

Your torch provides enough light to peer into the cave, revealing its interior. The stone chamber beyond the entrance measures at least ten paces square. Peeling paint and broken scrollwork suggest that it was once decorated with some care, but now only dust remains. Three massive stone doors—one each to the left and right, and one directly across from the entrance—lead deeper into the tor.

Moments after you entered the interior, a rather dreary looking man in a cape and hood enters the entrance behind you. Before either of you can say a thing, two individuals run smack into each other right outside, causing Dash to whiney.

everyone is in the same place, at the same time. Boom, RP.

[IrnBruAddict]

Grayvenn waves the torch at the new arrivals. Just 'cos he knew it wouldn't burn didn't mean they did. He moves between them and Dash. A horse was a travellers life.

'The storm?' he asked.

[Cormag81]

"Calm down friend. I can't speak for them," Thanatos waves at the two at the door "but personally I'm not interested in anything more then a safe place to wait out the storm." Thantos then walks past greyvann and begins studying the deteriorated writing on the walls. All the while freeing the shield on his back and readying his sword.

[Arcran]

Fire! Fire bad!

Roth starts at the torch, hand going to the hilt of his crossbow.

"Storm truce?" he says simply, looking at the three travelers.

Ready an Action to draw the crossbow? Can you do that?

[Esprit15]

Ianben pushes the not actually burning torch out of his face. "Relax, I just want to get out of this rain, like everyone else, assumeably." He looks at the people all reaching for weapons and pulls his hood off, showing his face. "Honestly, you run into people hiding from a storm in a cave and your first actions are to get ready to fight? We're you raised by savages of something?"

[Arcran]

He looks at the people all reaching for weapons and pulls his hood off, showing his face. "Honestly, you run into people hiding from a storm in a cave and your first actions are to get ready to fight? We're you raised by savages of something?"

"Yes," Roth says simply, staring the man in the eye.

"So do we have a truce? At least until the rain ends?"

[Esprit15]

"I'd altogether rather not fight at all, but yes, truce, I guess." Normally a truce is meant to stop an ongoing fight, but terminology wasn't important currently.

[Cormag81]

Thanatos shifts his shield off his back, onto his arm, then to the floor. He turns around keeping his hand away from his sword. "Who's drawing weapons I'm just attempting to find the best place to sleep since it doesn't look like this storm will pass anytime soon. As far as a truce goes I'm for anything that helps us survive the night. Who knows what's behind those doors and the more capable fighters we have available the better. We obviously are not the first people to discover this place." he says, waving at the decorations on the walls.

[IrnBruAddict]

Gray backs off a little. 'Don't mess with my horse and we'll get along fine.' He moves over to the doors. 'The swordsman is right. We should check out the doors. If something is behind them, waiting to eat me, I'd rather know about it that not.'

[Arcran]

Roth unconciously grabs his necklace. Spinel probably could easily check it out; he was small enough to check it out. Despite storm truce, Roth doesn't trust them. Best to not reveal all his tricks.

He simply nods at the horseman; he didn't plan on touching it anyways.

"Anyone have some dry wood? We could use a fire. Wouldn't want to catch a cold."

[Esprit15]

"I have no interest in your horse, so we should be fine." Ianben dries off his hair and shakes his cloak dry. Kind of dry. Still unpleasantly damp. "Well I'd like some dry clothes, and there isn't much chance of finding any dry wood out there. Someone lived here, hopefully there were some stores of supplies. Anyone mind helping me find some wood?" He pulls his scythe off his back (slowly, making sure to not look threatening) and motions to the door to the left.

[Arcran]

Roth looks at the newcomer, drawing his crossbow as well.

"I will help."

[IrnBruAddict]

'Careful. Better check these doors over for traps. Ruins have a nasty habit of being trapped.' Grayvenn stands spear length form the door and gives it a quick look over, trying to spot anything untoward about it.

[roll0]

[Arcran]

Roth hears the advice, searching for anything that could possibly indicate a trap.

Search: [roll0]

[Arcran]

Using Spinel as a focus, Roth also tries to see if he can spot anything.

[roll0]

[Eshkigal]

None of you can spot a trap, though these doors are thick and have good locks upon them. Roth, still close to the entrance, notes the shards of a giant, round stone scattered around the front, scorch marks dotting them. Lightning from a storm weeks ago apparently shattered a great stone in front of the opening.

There is a resounding crash of thunder, and there's panicked squeaking. The sounds of claws on stone are getting closer.

Roth hears the claws. He'd rather not be stabbed. A big, dumb, meatshield....

"Door's safe. Looks like a rock used to be here. Swordsman, would you do the honors," he says, stepping away from the door, his crossbow held loosely in his hands.

[Esprit15]

What was that noise. "Guys, did you hear that? Not the squeaking, the other sound. Scraping isn't a normal humanoid sound." Ianben puts both hands on the scythe defensively. They didn't need to know yet about his skills. As far as they were to know, he was just a wizard.

The squeaking and scratching quickly drowns out the pounding rain and wind outside. Before you can act, the door's burst open as hundreds of rats swarm forward. The hoards of bodies assault Thanatos and Roth, but Thanatos armor protects him from harm. Roth received a nasty bite on the calf. It stinged a bit.

Roth takes 1 damage. Also, Arc. We need your AC (regular) along with flat-footed and Touch.

Roth grunts in pain at the attack, stepping away, trying to aim his crossbow the best he can as he tries to get away from the rats. He takes aim with the crossbow, firing at one of the incoming groups.

He rushes forward and stabs at the thing with his spear. The skinny ones would be next to useless up close. May as well get them to watch his back. As untrustworthy as they may or may not be, they looked a damn sight better then whatever it was that was attacking them.

Grayvenn steps up to AP70 and stabs at R1.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Grayvenn's spear skewers several rats, many stop moving from the sharp point. The rats continue to writhe, lashing out at the nearest thing that moves, which happens to be Thanatos. One lucky rat slips between his armor.

1 point to Thanatos' Steely Resolve

Rats. Good for cleaning a body, bad for...just about anything else. Ianben sees the others in front take care of most of the rats in front and heads over to AN65, slashing at R3 with his scythe.

[Eshkigal]

The rodents scurry and dodge most of the attacks, save for the one from Thanatos. His sword swing bisects several easily. The remaining nearby rats nip at Grav, RD, and Ianben, not finding purchase. One pack moves towards the horse, and the other two seem to either be making for an exit, or for the softest looking flesh.

[Esprit15]

Ianben takes another swing at R3.

[Cormag81]

Seeing his allies being overrun by the rats Thantos rushes forward to stand beside the horse. He then closes his eyes and raises his sword only to slam it back down.

[Eshkigal]

At last, the final rodent falls, the life crushed out of them by RD's mighty hooves. The door to the right is now open, and no sounds currently come from it.

[Arcran]

Jakob, silent as ever, goes to see if any of his bolts survived the attack.

[Esprit15]

Ianben looks over the bite mark. Don't want that to fester... He runs his hand over the wound. The flesh knits itself back together.
Regardless of whether Cor's healing was working before, Ianben is healed now.
The half-human looks around at the group. "Well. Let's avoid letting something like that happen again." He peers into the now open doorway.

[IrnBruAddict]

Grayvenn looks over the rats, see if they might be edible or if they were too diseased. Hey, meat was meat, no point letting it go to waste if it was edible.

survival:
[roll0]

[Cormag81]

Thanatos examines the area now full of dead rodents. Saying a brief prayer for there untimely demise before turning to the next room "I think our best course of action would be to check this next room for supplies. Just to be safe i think we should stay together; rats can't live without food so something else must live here.I really wouldn't want to meet it alone and I don't think anyone else here would be to keen on it either"

[Eshkigal]

Roth, two bolts survived this fight. Meanwhile, the rodents are very notably not safe for consumption, as you find telltale traits of a poison that certain mushrooms in the region show in rats. The rodents have built up a strong resistance to it, but it makes them unsafe to eat by other animals, with symptoms that, while nonfatal, are not exactly pleasant.

[Esprit15]

Ianben calls back to the humans. "Hey, there's another room down this way I think."

[Arcran]

Roth takes his bolts, glad that a few survived the fight. He also reloads his crossbow, anticipating another attack soon.

He follows the man with the scythe.

[Cormag81]

Thantos resheaths his sword but leaves his shield strapped to his arm. He then runs after the sythe wielding man. "Hey let me go first no offence but you don't really look equipped to walk face first into whatever's behind that door."

[Arcran]

Thantos resheaths his sword but leaves his shield strapped to his arm. He then runs after the sythe wielding man. "Hey let me go first no offence but you don't really look equipped to walk face first into whatever's behind that door."

"What door? The rats knocked it over," Roth says, rolling his eyes. Stupid and blind. Great.

[Esprit15]

Ianben looks at the snippy man with the crossbow. De-escalate the situation before it can escalate. "Ah, perhaps the man meant the word door as in 'doorway?' Sort of how even if a door is open or non-existent, one might say 'Oh, Richter is at the door.' It's not an altogether uncommon phrasing." He looks over the man. Wonderful size, and yet sadly at the same time, somehow scrawny. Stable enough, though his size makes him a large target.

The half elf gives a light "Hm," of disappointment. He would not make a lovely corpse.

"If you wish to go, then by all means, do. One moment, though." He gives another glance down the hall, focusing on the walls and floor. An old place such as this, one can never be too careful.
Search for traps we can't disarm!
[roll0]

[MesiDoomstalker]

Ianben doesn't see anything trap looking. Just mostly smooth stone walls. Walking down the hall way, you realize you are on a slope heading down further into the tor. You quickly reach the room, which is empty save for dust and a single, small, stone chest in the center of the floor. Evidently no one has disturbed this chamber for many years.

[IrnBruAddict]

Grayvenn holds his hand a few inches away from the chest, and attempts to sense magical contents.

Using detect magic

[Eshkigal]

there is a magical aura coming from something within the chest, a faint abjuration, if you had to guess.

[Esprit15]

Ianben watches as the humans do nothing. "Are you going to open it or wait for it to walk off?" Ianben gets ready to heal an injury if there was some kind of trap in the chest.

[Eshkigal]

The impatient half elf gets a few darts to the torso as soon as he opens the chest, for 3 damage. So does anyone else within 5 feet.

[Esprit15]

"Ack!" The half elf leaps back as the darts hit him. He kicks the chest in anger before he goes about picking the darts out of his skin and rubbing at the wounds, the small holes closing up as his hand rubs his skin skin.

3 Damage? F that, back to full health in 18 seconds.

[Arcran]

Roth almost chuckles as the darts connect with the half-elf but manages to restrain himself.

"Now that we know there isn't a trap, would you care to open the chest?"

[Esprit15]

Ianben makes a rude gesture to the human and looks at what was in the chest.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Inside the chest you find a simple leather headband studded with small iron rivets, two small soft-pink orbs and a lumpy bag.

[Cormag81]

Thanatos enters the room first and ignores the chest, since it probably holds nothing that will help them outlast the storm. He takes up a position against a wall and waits, his sword sheathed but his shield still strapped on.

[Esprit15]

"...What the Hell is this junk?" He picks up the bag and opens it to look at its contents.

[Arcran]

Roth steps forward, looking at the orb.

"What is this?" he says, studying it.

Not sure what Knowledge this is. You can roll it I guess.

[IrnBruAddict]

Grayvenn spits on the elf. 'Next time you do something stupid, at least let me get out the road, you fool.'

He grabs the headband for himself, sensing something was magical about it.

[Esprit15]

Ianben wipes the saliva off of his face and flicks it back at Grayvenn. "Yeah, watching you get hit with darts without me being in the crossfire would have been far funnier. I'll remember that next time."

[IrnBruAddict]

He ignores the elf. Not only did they look like women, they also nagged like them. Bah!

He shoves the headband on, seeing if he felt any better or worse for it.

[Arcran]

Roth rolls his eyes. He was with children. Children! The magic user was at least sensible, but this elf was an idiot.

[Esprit15]

"Well, there is nothing else in here. Lets try one of the other doors." Ianben heads back to the entryway and starts trying to open the left door.

[Cormag81]

Thanatos considers just following the elf right out the door, without touching anything in the chest. In his experience magical artifacts never came without a cost, and a simple dart trap wasn't enough to put his mind at ease. Yet he realizes that everyone expected him to take the final orb, he picks it up and slips it into his sack before hurrying after the elf.

[IrnBruAddict]

The Druid checks in on his horse, then follows the rest, to see what else they got up to.

[Eshkigal]

Your group returns to the large room, and a quick look shows the storm is still going strong outside, hailstones raining down. There are still two halls you have not checked, one to the north, one to the west. Where would you like to go next?

[IrnBruAddict]

Well, may as well start somewhere. Grayvenn checked the western door, opening it, but doing so hiding his body BEHIND the door, and making sure EVERYONE was out of the road. At least if there were traps, he'd try and avoid them.

[Arcran]

Roth follows, staying at least a few feet back from the magic user.

[Esprit15]

Ianben heads into the doorway as he patches up the last of the dart wounds. He looks over to Grayvenn and speaks quietly. "Look, we seem to be getting off on the wrong foot here, and until this storm wears out, we're stuck with each other. I didn't see anyone going for the chest, figured I might as well take the hit. Plus I didn't spot anything in the hall, I thought it was safe here.

Start over?" He puts out his hand. "Hello, I'm Ianben. I don't believe I caught your name earlier."

[IrnBruAddict]

'Grayvenn.' he nods to his horse. 'And that's Dash.'

'You wanna apologise? Then make yourself useful. C'mon, let's scout out this area.' He makes his way down the left passage.

[Arcran]

Roth follows, at least ten feet behind the druid at all times, crossbow loaded and ready to fire.

[Esprit15]

"Fair enough. By the way, you seem like someone with a bit of divine magic... Mind keeping that away from me? Positive energy and myself don't really mix... It's like an allergy or something." He whispers the latter part more quietly. "I'll take care of my own injuries when possible. Thought I should mention it before someone accidentally kills me fixing a dart wound."

[Arcran]

Listen check to attack mercilessly mock Es!

[Eshkigal]

Arc: You don't hear them talking over the rain and thunder.

Irn: The trait is predominantly a trait of the undead, as became common knowledge during the Last War when Karrnath switched to an undead army as their population became far too low and their army too expensive to feed. However, you have also heard of cases where some humanoids have strong ties to the negative plane, normally of Karrnathi descent at some point.

[Arcran]

"What was that?" Roth asks. "Couldn't hear you 'cause, you know, storm outside."

[Esprit15]

"An apology for sticking Grayvenn with pins by accident. Why?"

[Arcran]

"An apology for sticking Grayvenn with pins by accident. Why?"

"Just wondering. Couldn't hear you," he says. They were already whispering? What were those two plotting...

[Cormag81]

Thanatos slides past the sqabuling mages to reassume the lead position. Once there he stops and leans against a wall listening to their conversations but withholding judgement. glass houses and stones don't mix and with his choice of obsessions he had no room to talk.

Guess we're rolling listen and knowledge checks?
Listen: [roll0]
Knowledge (religion): [roll1]

[Eshkigal]

Thanatos overhears the conversation, and the first place his thoughts turn are to the blasphemies against death, the undead! However, he has also heard of this occasional mutation.

[Cormag81]

Thanatos recognizes that the strange elf with the sythe might be more then human but what else is new. Untill he attempts to attack him Thanatos is content to simply watch him. He knows that if death has already called this man once he has been sent to finish the job otherwise he has no problems with the half elf.
