View Full Version : Zman's P2 4th Level Arena(Unound): Bardarok
Zman's Arena: Brunnyip Mu'kraker and Tol'Vrei Whiestletree
"Enter the Arena!", the loud voice boomed and reverberated through the massive arena.
The doors in front of you open wide revealing a small room beyond. Further the hallway continues, the floor stained red, The Hall of Arrows lies ahead.
As you look up you see the opaque black ceiling, knowing that beyond it are the spectators. Hundreds of them. You glance around but are unable to spot the magic eyes you know are watching, giving the hundreds beyond a view of your trial.
The voice booms again, "Begin. Let us test the nature of your mettle."
Initiative: Choose the order of your party, it will stay in that order throughout the entirety of the dungeon. Your team will act, then the dungeon will act. The round counter will continue every single round. Occasionally there might be a repetitive action, if you as me to repeatedly try an action I will post repetitive actions, or you can and tell me when the action ceases.
OOC Information: Please try and keep the mechanical stuff in spoilers, a brief description of your characters actions, or an in depth roleplaying of them are equally welcome. Others will likely go through your arena run, might as well make it an exciting and enjoyable read to add to the mechanical crunch.

MAP: Here is your Map! (https://drive.google.com/open?id=13j3qu0Rq8G2vv5-e6phQs3oaqGFQKaTCo6HMujOwrzQ) When you need to move, just tell me the map coordinates you are moving to any any particular path you want to take.
If you are unsure of anything, just post with your questions in the spoiler or PM me. If there are dependent actions, we can take them piecemeal. Don't be afraid of writing out a string of if then statements to speed things along.
Make sure you roll in the thread only, preferably in the spoiler tags. Sometimes I will post rolls in do not peek spoilers, so on your honor.
It takes less than a second before your eyes spot the red stained floor.
Brunyip's eyes grow wider as he spots the trap. Holes, large enough for bolts to pass through, line the wall for thirty feet ending as it opens to the room beyond.
Round 1
Describe how you are currently equipped, ie what are you holding in your hands.
Brunyip has spotted a trap. The hallway is 10' wide and 30' long and some kind of arrow trap, hence the name "Hallway of Arrows". You do not spot a control panel.

Tol'Vrei shifts his weight from side to side as he survey's the room. The bright orange and red ribbons attached to his wrists, belt, and the mantle of his dancers garb sway as he does so. His companion Brun'yip stands still in his slate gray plate a drab block of dwarven steel next to Tol'vrei's bright shifting elven energy.
"Trap. No Panel." barks Brunyip
"Damnation! Perhaps we could spend some time more carefully examining the room and consider our plans before we do anything rash."
"Nah."
Sighing Tol'Vrei knows his reckless companion too well and begins to speak words of encouragement and inspiration. He steps up to the edge of the trapped hallway and raises an occult shield just in case.
Brunyip, ever reckless, raises his shield and marches down the hallway
Tol'Vrei
1: Stride to D13
2: Seek on Hallway (didn't realize this was an option first time but this is totally the Tol'Vrei more cautious approach)
3: Cast Shield on Self
Brunyip
1: Raise Shield
2: Stride to E12
If nothing changes Stride to I12 with action 3
Tol'Vriel advances cautiously, taking his time to look around... and can't seem to find anything out of place. He doubts the existence of the trap until Brunnyip passes him and his foot steps on the first pressure play giving way to an audible whip snap as an arrow was loosed...
Brunnyip is cautious in his own way, raising his shield and readying himself... one arrow snaps across in front of his hip at stem height, but not close enough for him to need to block it with his shield...
T[roll0] [roll1]
Vs Brunnyip [roll2] Damage[roll3][roll4][roll5]
Brunnyip has 1 Action left. Confirm if you want him to keep advancing.

Yup Brunyip will push forward unless he notices something different. He will use shield block to block the first arrow that hits him too just cause I never actually used that the first time. It's not the best strategy but it's the one I went with the first time so I am sticking with it.
Brunnyip continues to barrel forward, arrows begin snapping past him... he snaps his shield up to deflect one arrow, but another grazes his leg. The rink rink of arrow deflecting off his shield liters the air... it becomes obvious that in his life and death dance that none of the arrows are flying below the knee...

"Solved it!" exclaims Brynuip as he drops to the ground and begins to crawl forward being careful to stay beneath the lowest arrow point, "My gan'pappy Dirt always said crawl on the floor to avoid arrow traps!"
'He did not!" says Tol'Vrei exasperatedly.

The two challengers crawled across the floor, Tol'Vriel paces behind Brunnyip's reckless charge...
Brunnyip spends some time examining the area around him, not finding anything of note. It appears to be a simple closed door.
As before, nothing to find about the door.
Round 5
PS I'm married!
Bardarok
2018-09-04, 09:23 AM
Seeing no trap the two prepare to enter the next room...
"Ready Vrei?" asks Brunyip
Tol'Vrei adjusts his grip on his bow, "Ready"
"Let's Rock and Roll" Brunyip opens the door.

Brunyip

2: Draw Shield

PS: Congratulations! Also I know there is nothing to see with the seek action there but they don't.
As the double wide doors swing open a grand hall opens beyond filled with four platforms. Immediately beyond the door lies a large platform decorated with four pillars and a large wheel at its center. There are two smaller platforms off to the sides. Standing on those platforms are pairs of shambling skeletons with bows in their hands. Across the way is a small platform.
On the largest platform, in addition to the four pillars three draw bridges are standing upright. One, the largest looks to fall forward towards a small platform and an iron door. The two smaller drawbridges look to fall to the smaller platforms. It appears the drawbridges connected to the large wheel by chains, some contraption capable of dropping all three of them. The chains are visible as the base of the bridges.
Crossing the gulf between the large and smaller platforms is a narrow an treacherous beam. Falling off the beam looks to be a steep fall as twice as tall as a man.
Away from the smaller platforms in the open area stand taller pillars, each appears to have some kind of glistening blue vial on top of them.
Skeletons
Four skeleton guardians begin knocking arrows and loosing death from their shortbows...

Found out the devs have weighed in and if you don't equal their AC, a natural 20 to hit is not a critical. Essentially a dev said the way the wrote it is not the way its intended, pg 292 overrules 178. It doesn't look like it every came into play in your last run, so no harm no foul.
Round 6(Depending on your Reaction)
Bardarok
2018-09-05, 09:38 AM
Tol'Vrei steps up to Brunyip and with a muttering of occult words and a flourish of the hand touches Brunyip's shoulder. The dwarf begins to blurr his outline becoming indistinct, "God's Speed my friend"
Brunyip bursts into the room tried to break the wheel like a dragon queen he knew once.
Yes let's try blocking I am rather suspicious of the blocking mechanics because I think shields don't have enough hardness but certainly blocking an incoming arrow with a shield seems like it should be a good strategy so if it turns out it isn't I think that's a game design issue.
So steel shields have a hardness of 5 so Brunyip take 4 damage instead of 9 and the shield takes one dent.
Round 6
Tol'Vrei
1: Stride to N12
2&3: Cast Blurr on Brunyip
Brunyip
1: Raise Shield
2: Stride to R12
3: Athletics Check (is this a break open check?)
If it's Break open (with attack tag) then [roll0]
If it's not break open (no attack tag) then [roll1]
Interesting on Crits. So if 20+modifier is a miss than a nat 20 upgrades it to a hit but not a critical hit. So similarly if 1+mod is a success does a nat 1 mean a normal failure instead of a critical failure?
Brunnyip snaps his shield up just in time to catch the incoming arrow, the head and a couple inches of arrow punch right though the shied, just above his hand... Unphased Brunnyip keeps his damaged shield raised as he strides forward to the great wheel. With a heave he puts his back into it and it turns, the gears grinding. Step by step it feels to loosen...
Skeletons
The small horde of skeletons against draw and loose their arrows...
Shield stops 5 damage, takes one dent. The trick with shields is you get to know the damage first, you only block the ones you can stop without taking a dent, unless you're low on HP and need it. And then I'd call it worth it for sure.

I'm assuming you'll shield block there.
Round 7!

2018-09-06, 09:51 AM
As Brunyip turns the great wheel Tol'Vrei begins an inspirational chant
T! . . T.U.R! . . T. U.Rn that wheel. If you get hurt well then I'll heal!
Yah I get that idea of shields but having a game design where you don't want t block the big hit because it is easier to fix your face than the shield is problematic. Though really that seems to go away at higher levels since it's one resonance for an oil of mending which instantly removes a dent and then quick repair moves the repair time down to 10 minutes, something reasonable to do even in a dungeon (though not a timed dungeon)
Anyways
Tol'Vrei
1: Inspire Competence
2: Shield
3: Step back to K 13
-Tol'Vrei Reacts here to aid on the first break open check [roll0]
Brunyip
1: Break Open [roll1] +/- Tol'Vrei's Aid
2: Break Open [roll2]
3: Break Open [roll3]
So I didn't do it since I was unsure but Break Open has the attack tag and inspire courage gives +1 on all attack rolls, so would inspire courage give +1 on all break open checks?
With another heave the wheel turns more, easier this time.
Skeletons
The shambling undead litter the area surrounding Brunyip with arrows...

Action 3: Ranged Strike Shortbow [roll30]Damage[roll31]
Ouch, 11 Damage.
Success, missed Crit success by 1. Almost had the wheel in one. 1 success to go, only DC15.
Interesting. It has the attack tag and would benefit from inspire courage... but, as an attack it actually suffers from the Multiple Attack Penalty which I did not realize. So successive Break Opens suffer a -5 and -10. I didn't rule it that way the first run, so I won't this one. But its a big FYI, anything with the attack tag suffers the MAP.
Turn 8
Bardarok
2018-09-06, 08:49 PM
Brunyip continues to turn the wheel. Tol'Vrei continues to sing and dance as a a bard would.
oh man you are right. Attack tag means multiple attack penalty, well the second and third didn't work anyways but still good point. Isn't it DC 19 for unbound? If it was DC 15 then Brunyip should just use assurance.
Tol'Vrei
1: Shield
2: Inspire Competence
3: Chillax
Brunyip
1: Raise Shield (will react to block if damage won't dent the shield)
2: break Open 1d20+9

Bardarok
2018-09-06, 08:50 PM
I messed up that first break open check [roll0]
With one further attempt Brunnyip gives a heave and the wheel spins free, the immense weight of the drawbridges enough to turn the handle behind him into a deadly mace... he manages to turn on his deal and interpose his damaged shield between himself and the deadly bludgeon saving his back the blow he is flund safely out of the spinning death trap...
Brunnyip Reflex [roll0] If failed [roll1] Bludgeoning damage and prone Reaction: Shield Block 0 Damage
Brunnyip has one action left.

Brunyip stands up to his full 4'2" height, looks at the skeletons across the drawbridge and says "Come and get me you boney sonnies o' bitchies."
Brunyip
3: Stand up
Skeletons
The skeletons each reach back and draw their last arrows, once loosed they drop their bows and draw their blades... none of their arrows hit as the shampling undead stride across the newly lowered drawbridges...

With the drawbridges down the duo spring into action. Tol'Vrei looses arrows while Brunyip's blurred form charges towards the approaching skeletons.

As Tol'Vriel moves forward shouting words of encouragement, Brunnyip charges at the first oncoming skeleton. With the force of his charge behind him he smashed the pick through the skeletons spine, as he pulls free the whole things falls apart, bones skittering across the round and over the drawbridge's edges... with the first dispatched he readies his shield...
Skeletons
The skeletons continue their advance, thier skimitars moving in dangerous arcs... one nears Brunnyip's blurred form, but its a near miss.

Bardarok
2018-09-10, 01:52 PM
Tol'Vrei plinks another arrow at the skeletons while Brunyip goes to town with Pick and shield.
6 damage would dent his shield again so I guess no. Strange rule. He will take the damage and move on to the next round. Did you roll blurr though? Brunyip had blurr cast on him back in round 6.

Tol'Vriel's arrow finds its mark entering through the eyesock. A moment later the skeleton simply fell apart.
Brunyip smashed his pick through the spine of his first opponent, with a strong backand he battered the second off the ledge into bony fragments. He spun on his toes, looking for the third almost surprised to find Tol'Vriel had already vanquished it.
Absolutely forgot to roll blurr for you. [roll0]
Well, rolls couldn't have gone much better there. Successful Blurr, then a trio of crits. Brunnyip has one action left on Turn 10. Looks llike you can roll ahead for a while! You know the drill.
Sorry my responses have been slow the last few days. Life has been a bit hectic with short work weeks, a wedding, and a minimoon. Should be better now.

And the Knock spell fades it has been 10 rounds trying to open the damn door.
For a moment the crowd can be heard. They are jeering. Then the booming voice of the announcer is heard, "Oh no, this is getting embarrassing. Let them through!"
With a click the stubborn door unlocks and swings its wide doors open revealing a hallway pitted by pits. Each pit has a footwork obstacle to pass through it without having to enter the pit.
That was really pretty bad luck right there.
Round 24 and the Stubborn Door is open.

2018-09-12, 01:11 PM
Brunyip's face turns red and he lift's his pick and takes a deep breath to unleash an angry tirade but Tol'Vrei interrupts before he can begin.
"Calm Brunyip. We are on stage, accept the defeat with grace or you'll only turn the croud against us." Tol'Vrei shrugs sheepishly at the crowd and puts on a boyish grin, "Pobodies Nerfect"
The two head down the hallway Brunyip still mumbling dwarvish curses under his breath.

Tol'Vriel spends long moments examining the frost covered door in front of him. He doesn't notice anything amiss. As he hears Brunnyip huffing and puffing from his vigorous work Tol'Vriel throws the door open wide revealing an open room. Immediately he notices a slick patch of glare ice in front of the door. Around the room located in each of the four corners are hideous misshapen statues...

If success move to AL24, trigger the gargoyle, scream like a baby halfling and try and turn around and move back to stand by Brunyip
If failure try again to move to AL24 with action 3.
Either way it's another balance roll
3: Balance [roll1]
Tol'Vriel cautiously crosses the icy floor, as soon as he had crossed over halfway through the room... one of the grotesque looking statues in the south east corner of the room sprang to life. Tol'Vriel turned on his heels and scampered across the ice again. This time fear lighting a fire under him, he his the ice patch at a sprint and slides to the other side without ever wavering...
Yeah, it wasn't your best plan the first time around, haha. Now lets see which ugly wakes up.
Success, and critical success.

Gargoyle
The mass of living stone unfurled horrid wings from its grotesque back before leaping into the air and chasing after Tol'Vriel uttering a horrid gravely screech...
It quickly catches Tol'Vriel, its wings carrying over the treacherous ice...

Gargoyle
The stony beast institutionally steps away to keep his enemies on one side of him. Sensing the true threat the beast sets out with tooth and claw... Brunnyip was caught off-guard as the gargoyle stepped to his side, he was able to defend agains its jaws. Barely. But the claws raked his thigh dangerously close to the arteries near his groin...

Tol'Vriel's spell has little effect as one of the Gargoyles wings partially obstructs the spell, but the distraction is just enough for Brunnyip to land an awkward blow on the beast. He lodges his pick between its ribs and almost has it ripped from his hand. He is surprised when the gargoyle takes a step and falters, falling to the ground, its life draining away...

Okay finally done with healing and stuff, the party ran out of healing earlier this run though there were some pretty bad rolls in that gargoyle fight, still it's not looking as promising this time.
Tol'Vriel flings the door open revealing the hall of statues. Aptly named the corner of the hallway is adorned with lifeless suits of armor...
Sorry about the brief post. Forgot and its bed time, haha.

"Statues." Grunts Brunyip
"Probably a trap the last room had a statue that tried to kill us." Replies Tol'Vrei
"Yup slow and careful like, shields up"
Brunyip leads as the pair slowly make their way down the hall carefully eyeing the statues. Brunyip keeps his steel shield raised while Tol'Vrei keeps up his arcane one.

Tol'Vrei and Brunyip continue down the hall each checking the statues. Maybe it's a feint? Unsure they move cautiously with shields raised.
This is the plan for round 41 and 42 just jump in wherever you think it is appropriate.
Because having the shield destroyed/dispelled seems like a pretty big cost to pay neither will block unless the damage is below their shield's hardness.

Another hit. Armor was broken last turn and AC is only 14. So, the assist is successful, but your hit is not high enough for a critical.

With a push Tor'Vriel gives the doors a heave revealing the legendary Hall of Sand, where few challengers tread and fewer cross the powder fine sand to have their true measure taken at the wall of faces.
In the far center of the great hall lies a dais, at its center a pedestal meant for four gems. The gems are each located atop four pillars in the hall. A simple enough task, place the gems atop the dais pedestal. A simple task complicated by the great guardian of the hall. Lounging in the warm sand is a large beast with the body of a lion. Unfurling from its back are large and tattered batlike wings accentuating a long spiked tail. What is most unnerving is the lions body forming into a cunning and disturbingly human like face staring right at you.
At the end of the hall lies the Wall of Faces. Three stone faces, each the size of a man, stare at you. One looks to be scowling, the other smirking, and the center most one looks measured.
Manticore is Prone in front of the Dias. It has noticed you. The sand is difficult terrain and a 5' drop from the platform level you are on. The Manticore must be defeated, the four gems must be retrieved and returned to the dais, and then you must converse with the Wall of Faces.

Yah a single manticore was a challenge for 4 fully rested lvl 4 PCs int he playtest so I don't expect to survive this encounter. But still where there is life there is hope and so they soldier on.

Manticore
The Manticore continues hovering, beating its mighty wings as it renews its assault on Brunnyip...
Action 1: Hover Triggers AoO
Brunnyip [roll0] Damage [roll1] Critical [roll2] Hit!
Action 2: Jaws [roll3] Damage [roll4] Critical [roll5] Blurr [roll6] Hit, dropped again.
Action 3: Claws [roll7] Damage [roll8] Critical [roll9] Blurr [roll10] Success
Yeah, the Manticore is tough. Its a Severe encounter for a party of four level fours, but is Extreme for two characters. Its double tough, getting the level difference in bonus to AC, attack modifier, etc combined with its ability to fly and strike at range. It doesn't help that most characters won't be able to afford a +1 ranged weapon as a backup, severely limiting their damage output.
Well, lets see how this turns out!

I did give everybody two Hero Points at the start.... so, might as well get Brunnyop back in that fight!

Tol'Vriel's spell sends the Manticore realing, creating an opening for Brunnyip...
Manticore Saving Throw [roll0] Fail, Brunnyip snags a hit because of it!

Action 1: Jaws Damage [roll[]2d8+7 Critical
Action 2: Claws roll[d20+11 Damage [roll2] Critical [roll3]
If Brunnyip survives, he'll get a reaction on this hover.
Action 3: Hover
After felling the brave Brunnyip, the Manticore flys forward, pressing Tol'Vriel with its dangerous claws...
Action 2: Fly
Action 3: Claws [roll0] Hit: 16 Damage from above
That leaves Tol'Vriel at 3hp, if he can deal 9 damage he can kill the Manticore. Though, if you want to call it there, we can.

In what may well be his final act Tol'Vrei drops his bow, draws his sword, and strikes out at the Manticore.

Ahhh so close. I kind of want to see if they can pull it off. We can skip through the rest after the fight though. Tol'Vrei still has hero points since his first hit landed and it's impossible to kill a PC in one round without a critical (which is odd in and of itself)
Brunyip recovery save
[roll0]
Manticore
With itself and its prey exhausted and near death, the manticore lashes out in one final desperate attempt to fell the challengers... the great beast latches onto Tol'Vriel's leg, and falls on him with his claws hell bent on killing the elf.
Suddenly, horns sound and the beast, trained to heed their call, reluctantly gives up its prey.
Action 1: Jaws [roll0] Damage [roll1] Critical [roll2] Crit: Falls unconscious at Dying 2
Action 2: Claws[roll3] Damage [roll4] Critical [roll5] Crit: Would hit Dying 4, spends hero point to instead regain 1 hp.
Action 3: Claws[roll6] Damage [roll7] Critical [roll8] Hit: Falls to Dying 1.
Also, we forgot that when you are dropped unconscious, you drop everything in your hand. Brunnyip would have needed to spend an action each of those rounds to pick his pick up again.

Yup that is curtains. They did surprisingly well since I thought they didn't have a chance in the last fight. They did have a chance just not a huge one.
Thanks got GMing this! It was fun.
