D&D...Adventures in the Underworld

[Abused Student]

I dont know is there any way to open it a little and peak through without whatever is on the otherside noticing? If we cant do that I am fine with just busting through it :)

You could try that. It would require a stealth check so it might be best if one of the rogues did it but anybody is able to try.

[Gandalf]

What would we find that would make us run for cover?

[illogic]

What would we find that would make us run for cover?

Me.

[MountainGirl]

i have +9 on stealth, so i can peak if you all want.

[ldancer911]

You could try that. It would require a stealth check so it might be best if one of the rogues did it but anybody is able to try.

I would say try this with one of the rogues while Lloan moves back into position.

[J.T.]

All right, since I'm in the front.

Miss Take peaks through the barely opened door and only sees more corridor, no movement, oh wait, a rat scurries across chasing a beetle but nothing more sinister.

Cat fight? thatd be hot...:popcorn:

[Abused Student]

Duriel moves the bark door aside and everyone sees that the corridor continues on out of sight ahead. It looks like a side corridor might be off to the left some twenty feet down but even with low light vision, the walls all seem to blend together so it is hard to be positive.

I guess continue on with the ranger up front till we get to the junction...maybe we can notice some difference once we get up there.

Go for it.

Checks:

+2 perception skills:
16 + 2 = 18
9 + 2 = 11

On a side note what is passive perception used for?

[MountainGirl]

11 +5

Nope, not at all. I think I concentrate better when I'm allowed to hum my marching songs. :squintyeyes: at Tela

Lloan is up front keeping an eye out for anything he can see but everyone in the party is keeping an eye out for anything that he might have missed. Just to see if anything catches your attention out of the corner of your eye.

[Gandalf]

10+2 = 12
7+2 = 9
6+2 = 8

This is a bad trend, but all better than last time.

[CindyLou Who]

Please roll for me, AS. Still no access to the roller. Thanks.

[Abused Student]

I have enough.

The ranger doesn't notice anything and is lucky enough to not step on the trap line running across the tunnel. Duriel also doesn't step on it but like the ranger, he also doesn't notice it. The paladin, well, he is not so lucky (I think he must need to be spending more time in prayer or something). A click is heard and you can see it in his face that he knew he made a miststep.

Everyone needs to roll 2 d20 as the area begins to fill with a cloud of gas. With the first, also give me your reflex defense. With the second, give me your will defense.

Should have brought your real D&D dice. You have some of those, right?

[Abused Student]

wonk deftly avoids the cloud.

The paladin collapses to the ground.

Lloan collapses to the ground.

Miss Take collapses to the ground.

Bing is able to roll out of the cloud before any harmful effects hit him.

The cleric isn't able to move out of the cloud but it hasn't seemed to effect him yet.

[Htebazile]

So most of us are down?

[ldancer911]

Should have brought your real D&D dice. You have some of those, right?

:rofl: I can just picture someone in the car repair shop lounge rolling a dice.

[CindyLou Who]

Can those of us that are okay pull the others to safety?

[udjw828]

illogic has collapsed to the ground...

oojjee has collapsed to the ground...

They don't seem to be in any distress, though...:shrug:

[MountainGirl]

I'd like to try and pull someone small out if i can

[Gandalf]

Can those of that are okay pull the others to safety?Good idea, if allowed.

For those of us who weren't named, are we in good shape or very very bad shape?

[Abused Student]

For those of you that are down or didn't get out of the cloud, you need to give me a couple more d20s, say 5, no, make it 8.

Those that are outside can go back inside to grab others and haul them out if you want but you would have to avoid the effects and you can see how many people actually did that that didn't get out of the cloud.

[Abused Student]

unmodified 3; Reflex defense is 11.
unmodified 14; Will defense is 12.

Do defenses get added? (So that I can do the result next time, if yes)

Sorry, I skipped your rolls. You also drop to the ground.

yeah, sorry guys... i'm going to stay out of the cloud...

[ldancer911]

Same here...I got pretty lucky with my reflex roll and will probably get stuck in there in I try to go in again. Maybe the cleric can pull somone out as he moves out of the could.

Htebazile stays asleep, snoring soundly before she is able to slowly crack her eyes open. She tries crawling out of the cloud but it is just too much and collapses again. She spends a long time snoring this time before she wakes with a start and with gusty crawls out of the now dispersing cloud.

[Gandalf]

Sorry, I skipped your rolls. You also drop to the ground.I hope my reflexes were good enough that I dropped next to Miss Take.

Gimli isn't as lucky as Hte. He stirs in his sleep but it is only after the cloud disperses and the effects wear off that he finally is able to open his eyes.

[CindyLou Who]

Okay, I'm back. I have a teleconference in just a few minutes, but at least I have access to my die roller and my character sheet now.

[Abused Student]

I still need rolls from the paladin, Bing if he is around, I guess I am up for Miss Take and the cleric.

[illogic]

Thanks! :kiss:

[Htebazile]

Um, if the cloud disperses, does it really matter if we wake up or not? Or does the cloud have lingering effects?

[Abused Student]

Miss Take sleeps peacefully for only a short period of time as badly as she needs the sleep. She very quickly wakes though and rolls nimbly out of the cloud, coughing and gagging.

The cleric walks out of the cloud finally but then falls to his knees, hacking but otherwise unhurt.

Bing sleeps soundly for one turn, then wakes with a start but as he starts to move he falls asleep again, snoring for two more turns before jumping awake again taking some deep breaths from the clearing air.

[Abused Student]

Um, if the cloud disperses, does it really matter if we wake up or not? Or does the cloud have lingering effects?

The cloud disperses after 5 turns. You guys just got lucky that there weren't any goblins in the area that had only a 1/4 party to fight and sleeping people on the ground that were easily stabbed.

[CindyLou Who]

Um, if the cloud disperses, does it really matter if we wake up or not? Or does the cloud have lingering effects?

Can't fight if you don't wake up. :D

[BingBoing]

I thought I made it out?

[Abused Student]

I thought I made it out?

Oh, yeah, you did, well then you fell asleep watching all the other people sleep :tfh: :oops:

Sorry.

[illogic]

I thought I made it out?

I skipped the "it" on my first read-through.

[Gandalf]

Shall we resume marching, and humming to scare the goblins?

[BingBoing]

Oh, yeah, you did, well then you fell asleep watching all the other people sleep :tfh: :oops:

Sorry.

:) I was probably just trying to fit in. :D

Dangit. Get your mind out of the gutter, illogic.

[Abused Student]

The paladin snores so loudly everyone is afraid that the whole goblin nation will attack. He doesn't even begin waking up until long after the cloud disperses. Even after it does, he wakes feeling very groggy and slow.

:kickspaladininhisasstogethimmoving:

are we close to the junction yet?

[Abused Student]

You have reached the junction. The corridor goes to the left out of sight and goes straight out of sight. There are no noticable differences between the two corridors.

[Abused Student]

I am heading for lunch. This could be a long lunch, I don't know. It has been a rough enough day as is. I don't want to hear any whining if it takes a while. Bad day, could get a whole lot worse now. Just bear with me.

Thanks.

[MountainGirl]

flip a coin, i mean, roll a die :)

i don't care which way we go.

[4sigma]

:sleep:
:joe:

Did I miss anything?

[MountainGirl]

yeah, i should probably do some of that work stuff anyway...

[Gandalf]

We may as well be ready to move when AS gets back. Let's go straight ahead. Time to kill goblins!

We also have to consider marching order. Whichever way we go, the other tunnel increases our risk of being attacked from behind. Should Duriel or I be near the back?

[MountainGirl]

that is probably a good idea to have a more secure... rear...

:)

[CindyLou Who]

Straight is fine with me, I guess. I think we should be prepared for an attack from behind.

I can stay in the back since I do have the handaxes and I think its too much trouble to find out what attack bonus you would get from them is. Plus I think I have the best ability to take the shots from the back if we get attacked and you and siggy should be fine up front (assuming he didnt become retarded from the gas).

Plus I enjoy the view from the back :wink:

And I am fine with going stright.

[illogic]

(assuming he didnt become retarded from the gas)

Poor 4sig. :-(

[ldancer911]

Poor everyone else, hes the one who stepped on the trap.

[Abused Student]

Ok, I am back, are we changing the marching order and which way are we going?

True dat. Shoulda left him there. Maybe he'd learn to be more careful next time.

[ldancer911]

Ok, I am back, are we changing the marching order and which way are we going?


I think we are going with something like this for now (gimli is the fighter up front).

Lloan
Gimli ; Sir
(open space) ; Tela
Wonk ; Hte
MissT ; harvma
Duriel ; Bing

We were continuing straight along our tunnel in the same careful manner as before (cause it worked so well...)

Truthfully, you should have left her there for a while...she doesn't really talk in her sleep, nor snore too much.

My rolls weren't good? :crazy:

Oh, right you are. And lucky you are. Because as the party is walking, Gimli holds up his hand stopping everybody in their tracks. Somehow Lloan missed it and didn't step on it but the ground seems to be slightly depressed just in front of the second row and the paladin again was getting ready to step right on it. Something just doesn't seem right about it.

[J.T.]

Hey, I think we should go left, but maybe that's just me remembering how to get out of the hotel. :roll:

[J.T.]

Awesome...it's a trap. You need d20 for trap?

Sir K looks at the floor where Gimli is pointing. Nothing seems unusual about it to Sir K. But at the dwarf's urging, he'll walk around the suspect location rather than onto it.

[Abused Student]

Tela and Miss Take confer for a minute and realize that it definitely is a trap. hidden in the wall are 10 tiny holes where arrows would be shot from if the trap were sprung. You can either try and disarm the trap or you can try and help people get over it and hope you aren't rushing back through this passage later.

i think that Miss Take and I should try to disarm it in case we do come running through here later...

i think that Miss Take and I should try to disarm it in case we do come running through here later...

One or both of you going to try and disarm it? If one, which one? Where is everyone else going to stand?

[MountainGirl]

and might i say, move away as to not step on it.

[ldancer911]

One or both of you going to try and disarm it? If one, which one? Where is everyone else going to stand?

Is there a benefit to both of them trying to disarm it?

[MountainGirl]

it's a spot on the ground, right... with arrow holes... so those that have passed it, move a few steps forward, those who have not, take a few steps back, and since Miss Take is "out to lunch" I'll try to disarm it.

does that work for everyone?

[Abused Student]

Is there a benefit to both of them trying to disarm it?

There is a slight advantage but you have to decide if it is worth putting your only two rogues in harms way.

[ldancer911]

I am going to a meeting a couple minutes here for anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and 30 minute DM can do all my rolling until I check back in.

[MountainGirl]

i will try alone to spare Miss Take just in case... are we all in favor of this plan?

[J.T.]

Doesn't matter to me...I'm here too.

[J.T.]

Woot...out of the line of fire.

[illogic]

:popcorn:

[ldancer911]

Sure...I will hide behind my shield in order to not to get hit by a stray arrow...there is probably room for 2 if anyone wants to squeeze next to me :wink:

[Gandalf]

Yes, brave Tela, may the force be with you.

[MountainGirl]

as well as the dice gods ;-)

[Gandalf]

[heroic gesture]I place myself directly between Miss Take and the holes in the wall (as close as possible to Miss Take).[/heroic gesture]

[MountainGirl]

what do i need to roll?

[Abused Student]

You need to roll a d20. So is everyone moving further back the way you just came to get out of the way?

[CindyLou Who]

I would say so.

[MountainGirl]

i don't know... what are you guys doing?

(i was thinking just a few steps)...

.. which modifier though?

[MountainGirl]

13 + modifier

[Abused Student]

13 + modifier

thievery modifier please.

[CindyLou Who]

I'm thinking a few steps should do it as well.

[MountainGirl]

+11

[illogic]

+11

Hot.

[MountainGirl]

:popcorn:

[Abused Student]

With amazing skill, Tela uncovers a little dirt, finds the spring and with skilled hands and a tool, the spring gets removed and trap is no longer a threat.

[J.T.]

Woot!

[illogic]

:clap:

[MountainGirl]

awesome! shall we continue marching along?

[CindyLou Who]

Let's go!

[Abused Student]

Up ahead, it begins to appear like the corridor just ends but as you get closer, you see that it takes a sharp corner to the left. At the corner, the tunnel goes 5 feet and then there is another bark door, this one on the right wall. It appears to be built into the corridor a little better and actually attached so it isn't just set there.

[CindyLou Who]

:popcorn:

[MountainGirl]

i say we check the door for alarms or traps, if it's locked, we try and pick the lock, and peek through it, as we did before...

[J.T.]

Take agrees.

[CindyLou Who]

Wonk agrees.

[BingBoing]

Bing agrees

[illogic]

illogic disagrees, but she isn't exactly known for her stunning intelligence, so you may not want to listen to her. :shrug:

[CindyLou Who]

:lol: :kiss:

[Abused Student]

Is the whole party going to move forward from your current position or just the rogue/ranger?

[MountainGirl]

Take - you want to check out the door for us?

[MountainGirl]

oh wait, ranger has better perception, so should he check it out first?

[Gandalf]

Is there much to be gained by having the whole party move forward? If we want to have a fighter escort, I could accompany either Lloan or Miss Take.

[MountainGirl]

i was thinking we are at the door already - i don't know... fighter + Lloan with Take not far to disarm the traps, everyone else a few steps back?

:popcorn:

[J.T.]

Lloan needs to check it, we can disarm it.

I have to move quickly though...I'm out to go get lost, which it seems we are not at this point.

[Abused Student]

:shrug: That is for you to decide.

The party has now been through one battle, two traps and one character addition. I think it is time the DM stepped back and let you guys play and if you mess up, it will be a good learning experience :dsmile:

[J.T.]

We want the DM to step forward, not back. :love:

[MountainGirl]

:popcorn:

... my two cents...

... fighter + Lloan checks door... if everyone thinks a good idea... but i think i already said that...

talk about a slow Friday afternoon...

[J.T.]

OK, If a rougue is needed to peek or check or disarm the door, AS has my throws. I'm probably out for the afternoon.

You guys have a great weekend if I don't see you.

[MountainGirl]

have a good weekend, take!

[Abused Student]

Ok, it seems like people are in agreement that the party will stay where it is and Lloan and Gimli will sneak up and check it out.

Since Lloan isn't here, I will roll for him. I need a d20 roll for you along with your stealth modifier please Gimli.

[Gandalf]

Unmodified d20 = 15
Stealth modifier = +1

So 15+1=16, I suppose.

[Abused Student]

The ranger and dwarf sneak up to the door. The ranger peers around but doesn't see anything that might look like a trap of any sorts. He sees a hole in the door that he might be able to peer through. It is a little low for him though so he bends down to look through it, putting his hands against the door. His eyes widen in shock just as his hands slip and his head bangs against the door. He stands up quickly and motions that there are 6 goblins on the other side of the door. Just as quickly though, these two are seperated from the others as the door slides from where it was to block the corridor between them and the rest of the party.

Lloan and Gimli see three large goblins and three robed goblins ahead of them. The rest of the party sees the door. I need initiative rolls from everybody please.

[CindyLou Who]

Uhoh. Sounds like maybe we'll have some casting to fight.

[illogic]

Awesome! :popcorn:

[CindyLou Who]

Here's mine:

9 + 0 = 9

[Gandalf]

I need initiative rolls from everybody please.
If that's a d20 situation 13+1=14

[MountainGirl]

10+4=14

[MountainGirl]

I'm about out of here for the day... have a good weekend! anyone can play for me.

[Abused Student]

Can Bing, Sir, and Sir's proxy for Lloan, and Hte, and Duriel please roll your initiative? I don't think you want me to do it for you unless you want extremely low single digits. I think if my dice could go negative, they would.

[CindyLou Who]

So why is it possible for your dice to always return low digits, but we get the :squintyeyes: for having high digits. :squintyeyes:

Not sure about the others, but I think Duriel said he had a meeting for a bit, didn't he?

They don't always return low numbers. They just have a tendency to be low for some reason. When I rolled for Lloan for sneaking up on the door, I rolled a 20 for him. Unfortunately, when he was looking through the door, I rolled a 3. :shrug:

[4sigma]

I'm here now. I'll roll my own initiative. Still figuring out the situation.

Init = 7+0 = 7
At least it's higher than the last one. :shrug:

:bighug: I'm sorry. I was just goofing around, you know, harassing the DM. I supposed I shouldn't do that. :D

[4sigma]

I guess I am also rolling init for Lloan.

12 on the die. I think his bonus is +4?

Does this door move so instantaneously that there's not time for us to attempt to slow or stop it?

[Abused Student]

:bighug: I'm sorry. I was just goofing around, you know, harassing the DM. I supposed I shouldn't do that. :D

It is alright. Don't worry about that. The DM is just having a rough day today. It is getting better though. Now go kill some goblins.

[Abused Student]

It moved very quickly, as if by magic. You were also completely caught off guard so no, there was no attempt allowed to slow or stop it.

[PSU2002]

:popcorn:

[Abused Student]

Against my better judgement, I will roll initiative for everyone else.

Hte finishes with an 8
Miss Take gets a 24
Duriel an 11
harvma a 20
and Bing a 21

Guess that wasn't too bad.

[illogic]

PSU! Howdy!

[CindyLou Who]

Now go kill some goblins.

:iatp:

When all initiatives are rolled, will you give us the entire order so i can write it down and know when I can step away for a short bit?

[Abused Student]

Can someone please take control of Miss Take, Bing, and harvma? I can roll for them but I would prefer not to be chosing actions as DM. Hopefully Duriel will be back before his turn comes up.

[CindyLou Who]

I can do that. The order goes like

Miss Take
Bing
harvma
Lloan
Tela
Gimli
Duriel
I'tnodwonk
Htebazile
Sir
Goblins (Yeah, I rolled horribly for them you lucky goblin haters)

[4sigma]

This magical door -- it's made of bark? Does it look like we could bash through it, or do we have to push it out of the way?

[CindyLou Who]

I can do that. The order goes like

Miss Take
Bing
harvma
Lloan
Tela
Gimli
Duriel
I'tnodwonk

All 6 at once? :yikes:

[Abused Student]

It is made out of bark just like the other door. It looks like you could bash through it without too much trouble.

[Abused Student]

All 6 at once? :yikes:

Yeah. They are in groups of three but one group got a 6 and one group got a 4 :shrug:. Hope there aren't six of them by the time they get to act I guess.

Sir K takes this opportunity to remind people that they have action points, and can take an extra action on their turn, once per two encounters. :)

Ok people. I am getting ready to head out. Anything anybody wants to say before I do so? I will not have internet access until around 10 ET and I don't know that I will be on at all tonight. I don't know about any time this weekend. I will try but no promises. Gives you something to look forward to on Monday I guess if I can't.

Just want to understand a bit more about this door. It's like several layers of bark?

I'm trying to get the sense of what sort of options ranged attackers or casters have to damage it.

Oh, all right. I was really wanting to kill some goblins today though. :( I guess I'll just wait.

How do we know how many action points we have? I see the words "Action Points" on my character sheet, but don't see any number.

You start the day with 1 and you earn another 1 for every 2 encounters but they reset to 1 after an extended rest.

[4sigma]

How do we know how many action points we have? I see the words "Action Points" on my character sheet, but don't see any number.

Players start with 1 action point. They gain one action point per two encounters completed.

I think this is our 2nd encounter (unless the trap with no bad guys around was also an encounter), which means everyone will gain an action point after this encounter.

You can accumulate action points, but cannot use more than one per encounter. When the party rests for the night, everyone's action points reset to 1.

[CindyLou Who]

I'm available.

Excellent. There are some stones over there on the floor of the tunnel. Get them and start sling-shotting the goblins with some of the bras from your cart. :D
