D&D...Adventures in the Underworld

[TeamNightLightning]

I don't think I'm wearing anything on my head, neck, arms, feet, hands, waist, or "rings" unless the brooch is one of the rings or neck. At least that's what my character sheet says. So if we find something for me, I want it to go in one of those slots. :crossesfingers:

[Abused Student]

There is also a set of bloodcut leather armor +2, a set of Eladrin chainmail +2, a resounding mace +2, a duelist shortsword +2

[Abused Student]

4 Amulets of Health +2, 4 Amulets of Protection +3, 2 potions of vitality, 4 potions of healing.

[Stillgreen]

Looks like the mind flayer had a nice collection...

Guts would like to make a claim on the bag of holding (if no one else wants it) and the fancy quiver.

[CindyLou Who]

Lots of loot...who is in need of what? I'm going to have to look a bunch of that up to see what they do.

[Stillgreen]

To help organize (will make updates):

Weapons
Magic Halberd +2
Resounding Mace +2
Duelist Dagger +2

Armor
Black Armor (unknown enchantment)
Sunleaf Robes +2
Bloodcut Leather Armor +2
Eladrin Chainmail +2

Neck Items
Cloak of Survival +2
4 x Amulet of Health +2
4 x Amulet of Protection +3

Misc
3000 gold
Bag of Holding
Endless Quiver
2 x Potion of Vitality
4 x Potion of Healing

[Gandalf]

:(I'm not done yet.4 Amulets of Health +2, 4 Amulets of Protection +3, 2 potions of vitality, 4 potions of healing.I hope that exchange doesn't mean Miss Take was counting on one or two potions of vitality for me. I'll try them if she wants, but I've already got 12 "surges" a day.

[Abused Student]

Luckily Miss Take finds a little container of little blue pills she is sure will come in handy to slip into Gimli's drink every so often :)

[Abused Student]

This is a lot of loot, just fyi. Things might be sparse for a while and we might start doing larger grouping like this since it is easier on the DM.

[Abused Student]

Amazingly and without explanation, the shortsword turns into a dagger instead ;)

[Gandalf]

Amazingly and without explanation, the shortsword turns into a dagger instead ;)The swordsman finished using it? Or a little blue pill wore off?

[J.T. Jr]

Amazingly and without explanation, the shortsword turns into a dagger instead ;)
:clap:

Blue pills do work. ;)

[Stillgreen]

Thoughts on distribution:

Halberd should go to Gimli, and the dagger goes to Miss Take. Mace should go to either Sir K or Vonteras. I know Sir K uses a flaming sword; what is Vonteras using? (the lightning sword? or was that former party member Duriel?)

Black armor probably to Vonteras (hinted by DM). Leather armor to Miss Take since she will likely jump into melee in future battles. Sunleaf robes between Hteb or wonk? Not sure who which one needs it more. The effect deals damage when the user takes an opportunity attack. The chainmail adds to teleport distance but wonk is the only teleporter (that I know of) and I don't think she can wear chain. It also reduces the speed check penalty so maybe Gimli to allow for a further charge?

Cloak of survival offers fire resist so perhaps one of the melee people may want to take this if there may be any potential of being within Hteb's scorching burst or next to her fireball. Amulet of protection for those that didn't get any new armor; the rest get amulets of health.

Potion of vitality should probably go to Sir K and Gimli since the potions of healing give less than their surges. Everyone else gets a potion of healing. Quiver goes to Guts. Bag of holding to whoever wants to hold shared party gear (Guts would like this but if anyone else wants it, he will rescind his claim). Gold can be divided evenly or split so that more goes to those that didn't get much loot (I vote the latter. Even split is 375; all Guts wants is 166).

[Abused Student]

It is likely that my time on the AO is going to be either severely cut short or be eliminated all together. I am willing to pass the reigns to Gandalf but it seems like a number of people might be in the same boat I am in.

Are enough people on Facebook that we could continue this there?

What if I set up a group on yahoo or something to post all of this at? Would people be interested in that?

Other options?

[Stillgreen]

I am interested in continuing. I won't be able to use Facebook at work though.

[CindyLou Who]

I don't want to quit, but I think some people have had their fill of me, so I think I'm done.

[Abused Student]

You are wrong. People don't want you to quit and they haven't had their fill of you. We do not have anything against you.

[Stillgreen]

Id like to continue but as youve probably noticed I havent been very available lately and I dont think that is going to change all that much while I still work here. Im willing to try to keep going where ever it is possible. Facebook is blocked at work so that doesn't work for me.

I'm still here for now. Sounds like you need a new job ;)

We need to figure out who has what and then decide if you are heading out of the tunnels or going to try going down the other tunnel.

[TeamNightLightning]

Did we get any exp?

[Abused Student]

Yes, oh, you want me to tell you? :roll: Will have to come back with that soon.

[Stillgreen]

There's an additional tunnel we haven't explored? Or is that the one with the hook monsters? Guts is ready to head back to town in either case.

I don't really care about the gold. We usually buy for the group anyway when we purchase something.

No idea what a bag of holding is....and not sure what the amulets do, but I'm up for that.

I'd like the dagger, and some fancy armor if no one else claims; otherwise, I'm good.

The bag of holding lets you store a lot of stuff so you don't have to worry about carrying a lot of weight. You can put equipment up to 200 lbs and it would only feel like 1 lb to the character. Functionally, it is similar to Hteb's floating disc back in your adventures in the goblin cave.

Ah, thanks for that. So we can carry extra bat dung?

[Stillgreen]

Yup.

Oh! Maybe we can collect 200 lbs of it, have Hteb light it on fire and we fling it at our enemies! I bet most creatures wouldn't like that.

[J.T. Jr]

Yup.

that would be cool. We should totally try that.

[Abused Student]

That might actually work. Although the non-petrified dung might light better.

[J.T. Jr]

I :ht: this thread. When you're less busy AS, can we start again? (and get some xp)...and more lootz!!!!!

[Abused Student]

I need to know who has the loot currently. I can spell out who I intended things for if that helps. Wonk can wear chain.

I am out the rest of this week but maybe next week. I need to know where the party is going from here. The door is strong enough if the party wants a longer rest it should be relatively safe.

Heading back to see if the hook horror is gone or back up the tunnels to the outside?

I personally don't want to be close to any hook horror.

[Stillgreen]

Let's not chance it with the hook horror tunnel and escort the humans back to the farm.

Are you sure? My spreadsheet doesn't have chain mail in the drop downs for my available armor" Only leather or cloth...

[Abused Student]

The group finds the humans still at the old gnoll camp. The farmer's family is returned, the others spend the night with you at the farmer's house before continuing on to the village. The farmer is very grateful. He rumages in his bedroom for a bit and comes out with a little black handkerchief-sized circle. He gathers the party around and whispers

"This is a very special prize that I found in my field long ago. It has come in very handy from time to time but I now want you to have it for bringing my family back to me. It is called a portable hole. Just put it on the wall, floor, or ceiling and it will instantly create a 5 foot wide and 5 foot deep hole in the surface. Anybody can use it and it isn't too hard (i.e. just a standard action to place and/or move). Just be careful. You can't move it if someone or something is inside the hole."

The farmer thanks the party profusely. Unfortunately the boys ask Gimli if the party met Sailor 1 and Sailor 2 and wondered if they were still in port. The girls, while extremely hot, have intelligence scores well below Gimli and pretty soon their stupidity and giggling wear on even the horniest of the guys and everybody is ready to leave by the morning.

I assume we are heading on to the town?

[Abused Student]

Are you sure? My spreadsheet doesn't have chain mail in the drop downs for my available armor" Only leather or cloth...

Oh well crap. Looked at that wrong. Ok, then make it leather.

[CindyLou Who]

Oh well crap. Looked at that wrong. Ok, then make it leather.

Not to be a pain or anything, but um, I'm already wearing leather armor at Magic +1. :shrug: I assume this armor was intended for me? I can select Magic +2, if so and if that's allowed, but if not, I'm okay with someone else having it, if need be.

Do we have a final list of whom is carrying what? potions of healing, etc.? I dont' much care about who holds the money, etc., because like someone said, we usually use it to buy stuff for the group anyway.

[J.T. Jr]

I'd like to go to town.

[Abused Student]

Boy you are difficult. :roll: ;) This armor lets you teleport further with the same protection as what you have. But since you are making this so difficult, find, it is +2 as well.

[CindyLou Who]

Not trying to...just wanting to understand. What do I select in my dropdowns for the teleport thing? How much farther can I teleport?

Okay, here's what I did. Let me know if I need to change it:

I selected "Magic +2" and put in my notes section the extra squares of teleportation ability so I won't forget.

[TeamNightLightning]

I'd like to go to town (on Gimli?).

Seconded only if you meant actually going to the town.

[Abused Student]

That is fine.

[Abused Student]

The trip to town is boring but the quiet is actually nice without the annoying girls and constantly being rubbed up against.

The party meets the captain almost immediately upon entering the town and he indicates the ship will be sailing out in the morning.

[J.T. Jr]

Yay...I like sailing.

[Elmore Crawdaddy]

Yay...I like sailing.
Yarrr!! Need a cap'n?

[J.T. Jr]

Why, yes, yes I do....

[Abused Student]

After a rest in the inn, the group heads to the ship. The captain is waiting saying within the hour the tides will switch and it will be time to head. He cautions the group that this next leg of the journey is one of the most dangerous areas in the ocean. Pirates of many different races, rumors of sea monsters, and an all around bad trip. Many ships make the trip without anything bad but the numbers have been increasing lately and considering we have already been attacked, our luck seems to be against us.

[Abused Student]

He recommends everyone remove any metal armor they have but recommends getting some leather armor the cargo hold of the ship. He recommends keeping weapons and leather armor on at all times, even when you sleep.

[J.T. Jr]

Well, this just sounds like a peach of a cruise.

Where's our captain Elmore when you need him?

[Abused Student]

You are welcome to avoid the ship and try and go over land.

[Stillgreen]

The party meets the captain almost immediately upon entering the town and he indicates the ship will be sailing out in the morning.

Could I make a quick purchase in town if it's available? I would like to buy a greatbow and transfer the vicious enchantment from my longbow into it. I think it should cost 30 (greatbow) + 175 (transfer) = 205 gp.

Is keeping hide armor OK?

This will be the first time Guts will be traveling on a ship and he is a bit worried... especially when hearing about the captain's recommendations. However, he dismisses this as first-time jitters and votes to stay on the ship.

Nope, I think there is a max of people that help and it wouldn't be enough. We will get the cleric to consecrate your body and set up a nice funeral pyre and maybe if you are lucky we can get some people to say some nice things about you instead of spitting on your burning corpse.

Oh, thought I was in the game thread. No, you can't help on that.

Sorry about that.

[Abused Student]

A clear call is heard throughout the inn the party stayed at. The captain is downstairs yelling that boarding the boat will happen immediately and the anchor will be raised in 30 minutes.

Each member of the party was in their own room, well, at least for the end of the night. Members of the party that don't answer (ie decide they don't want to play anymore or are too busy right now) can remain in their rooms. Otherwise we will be starting tomorrow. PLan for the first battle to take place starting tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday morning.

:pokeystick: ALL ABOARD

After being nudged awake by Miss Take, Gimli is ready. Then Gimli is confused. Then finally understanding the purpose of the nudge, Gimli is ready for that, too. :wave:

[PSU2002]

This game is like the energizer bunny.

[Abused Student]

Hell yeah it is.

Ok, have to head to a meeting but sometime soon the ship will be departing. We can assume Vonteras and hteb got dragged aboard or left later.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHttttttttttttttttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeebbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

[Abused Student]

The captain meets the party at the dock. He is ticking off the last remaining supplies as they are carried along. He greets the party but seems to be looking off at the horizon where some darker clouds are beginning to form. He looks relieved when the last box is carried aboard and he calls for the boat to be pushed off. He ushers the group out of the way as he begins barking orders. Sailors leap every way, tightening up the sails, climbing in the riggings, moving the last of the boxes down into the hold, securing everything on deck.

The captain yells "Come on you bilge rats, move quicker. There's a squalor coming and if we can't clear Dead Man's Point before it hits we might as well throw ourselves to the sea dragons now." The boat is picking up speed but the party feels that this storm coming is going to be a rough one. Heavy rain drops begin hitting the deck every so often and waves begin picking up.

The boat pulls hard against the wind that is picking up fast. Two men are on the wheel and are able to hold the boat steady enough that the point is soon past and the men turn the wheel hard, allowing the boat to travel with the wind. The captain starts roaring out orders and all the sails are taken up and secured and only half of the main mast is left. Despite this, the boat is flying over the water. It is a rough ride but going with the wind the speed is amazing.

The party does notice that despite the extra effort, the crew has kept their swords buckled on which seems unusual. Seems despite the storm there are still dangers.

I need a d20 roll + your constitution modifier for everyone to see if you get sea sick.

[Htebazile]

3 + constitution modifier of 0 (as far as I can tell)

Hteb's handler is currently having some issues, so it'll be lunch/after work

[Stillgreen]

14 + 1 = 15. Hope that saves. Filth fever + sea sick will be :exams: :exams:

[J.T.]

13+1

[Abused Student]

Guts and Miss Take are not sea sick. Hteb is sea sick and is slowed and suffers a -2 to attack rolls.

Anybody else is welcome to roll before the battle starts, otherwise we will assume you are sea sick.

The captain is busy still barking out orders and constantly checking with the crow's nest. The rain is pouring down now and the wind is lashing it around. The party decides the safety of inside is better.

I predict a battle will begin within about 3-4 hours so here is your final warning to get your rolls in.

The crew hears shouting from outside that is worse than normal. You hear "We are being boarded, everyone to arms" followed shortly by "Where are they coming from?" and "Seadevils, fight for your lives".

[Stillgreen]

Initiative: 12 + 6 + 2 (Vonteras) = 18 (20 if Vonteras is around)

[Abused Student]

The door flies open and a sailor stumbles in, his eyes wide. He takes a step inside before falling flat on his face, a trident stuck in his back. Behind him, creatures that look like fish men can be seen climbing over the railings and sailors all over the deck fighting for their lives. The storm has been completely forgotten except for the helmsman still holding onto the wheel and protected by a couple sailors including the captain who are working hard to keep him safe.

Cool, a trident...
Are these like merpeople?

Initiative = 15+6+(2 for vonteras)....

[Abused Student]

It looks more like a cross between a fish, toad, and a gremlin.

They are called Sahaugin but also called sea devils because they are irredeemably evil. They hunt marine life and raid shoreline communities at night. They harbor a murderous bloodlust and, like sharks, fly into a frenzy when they sense their prey is bloodied. Their preferred weapon is the trident.

[Gandalf]

Should have let Miss Take take the initiative with for me.
3+4+2(vonteras) = 9

[Abused Student]

Can we get everyone's initiative set up and have a schedule starting at say 10 Central tomorrow?

I need spots at
6
9
20

10

Just realized I have a meeting from 10-2 CST so we won't be starting until then. If someone could take the time to gather all the initiatives into one post that would be great.

[J.T.]

Initiative: 12 + 6 + 2 (Vonteras) = 18 (20 if Vonteras is around)

Cool, a trident...
Are these like merpeople?

Initiative = 15+6+(2 for vonteras)....

Should have let Miss Take take the initiative with for me.
3+4+2(vonteras) = 9

Initiative: 1 + 2(I think) + 2(vont)

It's probably safe to say I'm going last.

Initiative: 17 + 2 + 2(Vonteras)

Not sure who else we're missing.

[Gandalf]

Missing Hteb, Vonteras and who. (Should get an initiative roll for who just in case the battle is still going on when she's available again.)

[J.T.]

Is Vonteras playing? Or do we have a volunteer for him if he's not?

[Stillgreen]

Is Vonteras playing? Or do we have a volunteer for him if he's not?

If we need a volunteer and no one else wants to do it, then I can play Vonteras. I think I have his list of powers and mods based on previous battles... Still need to find out his defenses.

edit: Actually, let me ask permission first

[Stillgreen]

There's an additional tunnel we haven't explored? Or is that the one with the hook monsters? Guts is ready to head back to town in either case.

My item suggestions in red:

Weapons
Magic Halberd +2 (Gimli)
Resounding Mace +2 (Sir K or Vonteras)
Duelist Dagger +2 (Miss Take)

Armor
Black Armor (unknown enchantment) (Vonteras)
Sunleaf Robes +2 (Hteb or Wonk)
Bloodcut Leather Armor +2 (Miss Take)
Eladrin Chainmail +2 (Wonk if she can wear chain; Gimli or Sir K)

Neck Items
Cloak of Survival +2 (Gimli, Sir K or Vonteras)
4 x Amulet of Health +2 (CL Eric, Gimli, Sir K, Vonteras)
4 x Amulet of Protection +3 (Hteb, Miss Take, Wonk, Guts)

Misc
3000 gold (Wonk, Hteb, CL Eric with a higher share)
Bag of Holding (Miss Take or Guts)
Endless Quiver (Guts)
2 x Potion of Vitality (Gimli, Sir K)
4 x Potion of Healing(CL Eric, Hteb, Guts, Miss Take, Vonteras, Wonk)

:bump: These may play a role in the battle. Should we finalize who gets what?

[J.T.]

I think all of this is fine, just need to decide the cloak. Guts, you can have the bag, and we need to decide the 4 out of the 5 listed on the healing potion. If anyone has one, they should be an auto out...

I do not have a potion.

I believe Wonk was to receive the chainmail, and it was changed later, wasn't it?

We need to give someone the Mace. You boys hurry and fight over it.

As for the gold, as long as we know what's in total, it doesn't matter who carries it. We split it anyway for buying what's needed.

[Abused Student]

Here is the map for the battle.

Still waiting on hteb and Vonteras to roll initiative.

As you can see, there is going to be a lot of stuff going on so my turns might take a while.

[Stillgreen]

If you want to use my rolls,

Hteb: 13 + ? + 2 = ?
Vont: 9 + 2 + 2 = 13

[Abused Student]

Here is our order. Um, wow, I need to create smaller battles. Ok, let's assume the Captain has taken his turn already.

Also I say a dash to get to the upper level and keep the wheel/captain guarded is probably our best bet. It will also give us a choke point with all the enemies so we dont get flanked.

[CindyLou Who]

I think all of this is fine, just need to decide the cloak. Guts, you can have the bag, and we need to decide the 4 out of the 5 listed on the healing potion. If anyone has one, they should be an auto out...

I do not have a potion.

I believe Wonk was to receive the chainmail, and it was changed later, wasn't it?

We need to give someone the Mace. You boys hurry and fight over it.

As for the gold, as long as we know what's in total, it doesn't matter who carries it. We split it anyway for buying what's needed.

Yes, it was changed later to leather since I'm not allowed to wear chainmail. It grants me extra distance when teleporting.

[Abused Student]

Miss Take's turn.

[J.T.]

:snort:

Um, I looked at the map. Holy crap.

[J.T.]

Are greens bad?

[J.T.]

Ok, but there are only 2 bad people on the top. Are we sure we want to move there?

I don't think I can get there in a turn anyway....AS, am I correct that I can only move to like square....J19 or so?

[Abused Student]

Oops, realized there is a disconnect between the stairways down to the lower level from the mid level. We will say somehow it transfers you to the lower side of the ship or we can just say the team is at the other side of the ship.

With a double move you might be able to get to the stairway up in J17 or so.

[J.T.]

:-?

[J.T.]

Ok, Miss Take is going to J20...I like it there, and will throw a dagger at S25.

attack: 9+14+2 vs AC
damage: 3+7+2+2+5+7 I think that's all of it. :shrug:

[Abused Student]

Why don't you move to I20 and guarentee combat advantage against him?

[Abused Student]

Updated map

[J.T.]

I don't really need to, and I'd rather not be next to him if I don't have to....unless they've already attacked once.

[Stillgreen]

Why don't you move to I20 and guarentee combat advantage against him?

Doesn't she have a feat that gives her combat advantage for being first on initiative?

[Abused Student]

Ok, Miss Take is going to J20...I like it there, and will throw a dagger at S25.

attack: 9+14+2 vs AC
damage: 3+7+2+2+5+7 I think that's all of it. :shrug:

You are entering mid battle. This will hit but I don't think you get the extra damage unless you are flanking them.

[Abused Student]

She has elected to move to I20 and backstab S25. 26 damage

[Abused Student]

CL Eric is up.

[TeamNightLightning]

I assume you have to move all the way up the stairs in one direction to get to the top, so with that in mind, C.L. Eric moves to K28 and prays Bless.

[Abused Student]

I assume you have to move all the way up the stairs in one direction to get to the top, so with that in mind, C.L. Eric moves to K28 and prays Bless.

So you are staying in the bottom of the ship?

[TeamNightLightning]

That's all I can move unless I use an action point or don't bless. Is there a reason I shouldn't stay in the bottom of the ship? :tfh: I want to be standing half way up the stairs.

[Abused Student]

Ok, give me a bit, got a lot to do.

[Abused Student]

S4 closes his eyes and mouths some words. Spectral jaws appear beside Sailor 12 and bite him. for 14 damage, 5 ongoing, and -2 to all defenses

S6 does the same to Sailor 13 and the jaws bite for 14 damage as well, same others.

S23 does the same to Sailor 11 and the jaws bite for 12 damage, same others.

S22 does the same to Sailor 10 and the jaws bite for 17 damage, same others.

[Abused Student]

The first mate swings at S1 and hits for 11 damage.

The helmsman focuses on the wheel.

Sailor 1 shifts to D11 and attacks S2 and hits for 14
Sailor 2 as we know tries to stay as close to Sailor 1 as possible also moves to D12 and attacks S2 and hits for 10
Sailor 3 moves to D8 and attacks S1 and hits for 15
Sailor 4 and 5 delay
Sailors 6 through 9 shoot arrows, focusing on S4, only two hit for 5 and 8 damage
Sailors 10-13 also shoot arrows focusing on S6, 3 hit, two for 6, one for 8

Sailors 14 and 15 both attack S27, both hit for 12 and 9
Sailors 16 and 17 both attack S25, 16 misses but 17 rolls a 20 and with the flank does 29 damage and S25 is now bloodied.
Sailors 18 and 20 both attack S17, 18 rolls another 20 but without the flank only does 17 damage, 20 though is too nervous and hits himself for 6 damage
Sailor 19 and 20 both attack S10 who has moved to AC19 (through a delay but I am not going to change their order because I don't want to). 19 hits for 12, 20 misses.

[Abused Student]

Guts, hteb, and Vonteras go before some more baddies.

[Htebazile]

I have no desire to go halfway up the stairs at the moment, so I'll move to the bottom of the stairs if that's cool with people.

[Gandalf]

I have no desire to go halfway up the stairs at the moment, so I'll move to the bottom of the stairs if that's cool with people.Can you attack S26 from there? You ought to be OK for distance and for left/right (as you face him). I don't know how the angle of the steps affects the situation.

[Stillgreen]

Wait, how much does it take to move up the stairs? I just assumed that touching a "stairway up" cell warps you to the level above.

[Stillgreen]

Guts will move to I22 and set S25 as his quarry. Reaching into his empty quiver, he pulls out two arrows that materialize into existence and send it in S25's direction.

Twin Strike
Attack: {6, 1} + 10 + 1 (quiver power) + 1 (bless) = {18, crit miss} vs AC

Ugh, what an ugly shot. Guts blames his stage 2 filth disease. For the critical miss, my d20 is 6. d12 roll for damage is also 6.

[Gandalf]

Wait, how much does it take to move up the stairs? I just assumed that touching a "stairway up" cell warps you to the level above.
I think you have to walk up the steps, one square at a time, which does lead to the question of which end of the stairway is which. My interpretation is that M32 (where Hteb moved, I believe) is at the same level we are. L32 is one step higher. K32, where CL Eric moved, is up another step. Then J32 is still on the stairs, and I21 is at the next level.

Also, since J32 is only one step below the next level, I think you could step from J32 to I,J or K 20 or I,J or K22.

Under this interpretation of the map, J32 and J21 are exactly the same place. I32 and I21 are not; I21 is one full level above I32.

[J.T.]

So you are staying in the bottom of the ship?

Is CL Eric in the middle of the two floors, so do we all receive bless?

[Abused Student]

I have no desire to go halfway up the stairs at the moment, so I'll move to the bottom of the stairs if that's cool with people.

Ok, M32 it is.

Can you attack S26 from there? You ought to be OK for distance and for left/right (as you face him). I don't know how the angle of the steps affects the situation.

I am going to say no. From at the bottom of the stairs, she would only be able to see things standing in G20:I22

Wait, how much does it take to move up the stairs? I just assumed that touching a "stairway up" cell warps you to the level above.

They are normal stairs. Actually probably 4-5 stairs per level. You have to go up each step. The entrance from above is on the left for the left stairs and on the right from the right. So M32 and U32 would be entering the staircase

Guts will move to I22 and set S25 as his quarry. Reaching into his empty quiver, he pulls out two arrows that materialize into existence and send it in S25's direction.

Twin Strike
Attack: {6, 1} + 10 + 1 (quiver power) + 1 (bless) = {18, crit miss} vs AC

Ugh, what an ugly shot. Guts blames his stage 2 filth disease. For the critical miss, my d20 is 6. d12 roll for damage is also 6.

That is a movement of 7 which I believe you have so we are good there. It is lucky you were kind of off by yourself as both arrows miss, only one getting "close".

I think you have to walk up the steps, one square at a time, which does lead to the question of which end of the stairway is which. My interpretation is that M32 (where Hteb moved, I believe) is at the same level we are. L32 is one step higher. K32, where CL Eric moved, is up another step. Then J32 is still on the stairs, and I21 is at the next level.

Also, since J32 is only one step below the next level, I think you could step from J32 to I,J or K 20 or I,J or K22.

Under this interpretation of the map, J32 and J21 are exactly the same place. I32 and I21 are not; I21 is one full level above I32.

Yes, you are correct.

[Abused Student]

I assume you have to move all the way up the stairs in one direction to get to the top, so with that in mind, C.L. Eric moves to K28 and prays Bless.

And I think you meant K32 now since I caught my mistake. With this yes, both floors would recieve the benefit of the bless.

[Abused Student]

since we have some newer people and the older people may have forgotten, I am going to make a public service announcement. There are outside the game incentives that can be added inside the game. Find a stretch goal and maybe you can get an extra +1 or +2 to your attack or some extra defenses. It might be to help you study and get through all the problems, might be to lose weight, anything. Inquire within. (ie a PM)

[Abused Student]

And I need a move for Vonteras too

[Abused Student]

Ok, fine, I want to get my moves over with so Vonteras takes a double move over to V32 to help protect that staircase.

[Abused Student]

S1 attacks the first mate, it helps that he has 4 arms (S1 and S2 do, the others don't). He stabs the first mate with a trident and also claws him with two hands. The trident misses but the claws scratch deep causing 12 and 7 damage and 5 ongoing

S1 decides he isn't done so he tries again. This time he connects with all three attacks for 13, 7, and 8. The first mate is bloodied.

S2 attacks the captain with all three attacks. He only hits with the trident only causing 9 damage. He decides he is going to wait on any extra attacks.

S3 moves to H8
S5 moves to J17
S7 attacks Sailor 4 hitting for 10
S8 moves to V17
S9 moves to AC18 attacking Sailor 19 but misses.
S16 shifts to AA20 for the flank, S12 shifts as well to AB20.
S10 attacks sailor 21 but misses
S11 uses his flank to attack Sailor 21 but his Sailor 21 seems to be adept at dodging and the trident misses the sailor and instead hits S16, causing no damage but disrupting his attack for this turn.
S12 attacks sailor 20 missing
S13 (also has 4 arms) moves to Z21:Z22
S14 moves to X21
S15 moves to AC 20 and attacks Sailor 21 hitting for 10
S17 attacks Sailor 20, skewering him with a trident for 13
S18 attacks Sailor 20 as well for 8
S19 moves to W32/W21 and attacks Vonteras but misses horribly
S21 moves to the main mast and begins to climb
S23 moves to J23 and attacks Guts hitting for 13
S24 attack Sailor 16 hitting for 9
S25 attacks Miss Take hitting for 13
S26 attacks Sailor 16 and with the flank hits for 7
S27 and S28 attacks Sailor 15 and like Sailor 1 and 2, they are in perfect rythm together, both skewering Sailor 15 for 13 each.
S29 attacks Sailor 14 but misses

[Abused Student]

Gimli Sir K then Miss Take

And here is the update map.

[Gandalf]

Gimli Sir K then Miss Take

And here is the update map.Gimli moves to I21, then charges to H20 and blasts S25 with his maul.

17+10+1 (charge)+1 (bless) = 29 vs AC; 3d6+9 = 5+6+2+9 = 22 damage

Refresh my memory: what's our armor situation? Did we switch to hide or leather or something on board the ship?

[Abused Student]

Gimli moves to I21, then charges to H20 and blasts S25 with his maul.

17+10+1 (charge)+1 (bless) = 29 vs AC; 3d6+9 = 5+6+2+9 = 22 damage

Refresh my memory: what's our armor situation? Did we switch to hide or leather or something on board the ship?

Yes, everyone has plain hide or leather armor unless they already had hide, cloth, or leather

And that hits, S25 is bloodied.

[Gandalf]

Sailors 16 and 17 both attack S25, 16 misses but 17 rolls a 20 and with the flank does 29 damage and S25 is now bloodied.
Yes, everyone has plain hide or leather armor unless they already had hide, cloth, or leather

And that hits, S25 is bloodied.Should that be "still bloodied"? Or was there some healing in between?

[Abused Student]

Should that be "still bloodied"? Or was there some healing in between?

Um, hmm, put that on the wrong creature. S25 drops.

[Gandalf]

Yes, everyone has plain hide or leather armor unless they already had hide, cloth, or leatherEach of us can choose leather at +2 for AC, or hide at +3 for AC with -1 to certain checks? If that's the only difference, Gimli's wearing hide unless the -1 would involve some activities with Miss Take.

[Gandalf]

Gimli thinks to himself that our rogue looks really hot when she's wearing leather and when she's not wearing leather

[ldancer911]

Sir K will move up the stairs and charge to G21 to attack S26.

11 + 10 + 2 (Flank) + 1 (Charge) + 1 (Bless) = 25 vs AC
Damage: (Can't really remember what my damage was, I think its 1d8 + 5 so Ill go with that for now) = 5 + 5 = 10

[Abused Student]

Sir K will move up the stairs and charge to G21 to attack S26.

11 + 10 + 2 (Flank) + 1 (Charge) + 1 (Bless) = 25 vs AC
Damage: (Can't really remember what my damage was, I think its 1d8 + 5 so Ill go with that for now) = 5 + 5 = 10

:tup: 10 damage to S26

[J.T.]

Gimli thinks to himself that our rogue looks really hot when she's wearing leather and when she's not wearing leather

:kiss:

[Abused Student]

The captain swings and hits S2 for 15 damage and S2 is slowed. He begins to mock S2 which allows Sailor 1 and Sailor 2 to try and hit him again, in kind of a gang banging on his armor. And gang banging when it comes to Sailor 1 and Sailor 2 is a scary scary though.

Sailor 1 hits for 8 damage, Sailor 2 misses but gives Sailor 1 a quick peck on the cheek to congratulate him on his hit.

[J.T.]

Miss Take will take the boost to her AC and move to I18 and attack S24.

18+14+1 vs AC
damage of : 4+7+7+2+2+2

[Abused Student]

I assume you realize this will cause one OA, right? And that you will now be flanked?

[Gandalf]

I assume you realize this will cause one OA, right? And that you will now be flanked?
Are you still thinking S25 is alive? Otherwise I don't see the flank, and if she moves via J19 I don't think there's an OA.

[J.T.]

Yes, the DM is having trouble updating his map and figuring out ghosts don't attack. I have no OA and no flank.

BTW, as a free action, before Miss Take moves, she :kiss: Gimli before heading off to other beasties.

[Abused Student]

Miss Take will take the boost to her AC and move to I18 and attack S24.

18+14+1 vs AC
damage of : 4+7+7+2+2+2

24 damage to S24. :shake: These creature's ghosts are apparently really pesky.

[TeamNightLightning]

Move to H21.
Standard Action: Sacred Flame on S24. Hit: 10 + 9 + 1 (Bless) = 20 vs. Reflex Damage: 5 + 6 = 11 radiance. Miss Take gains 3 temp hit points if that hits.

[Abused Student]

Move to H21.
Standard Action: Sacred Flame on S24. Hit: 10 + 9 + 1 (Bless) = 20 vs. Reflex Damage: 5 + 6 = 11 radiance. Miss Take gains 3 temp hit points if that hits.

That hits.

[Abused Student]

S4, S6, S22, again mouth some words and point and again spectral jaws appear by Sailor 10, 12, and 13. 10 is missed but 12 and 13 are hit. 12 for 12, 13 for for 12 as well. Sailor 13 is bloodied.

S20 shoots a bolt of water at Guts hitting for 8 damage.

[Stillgreen]

After all the red enemies and sailors move, Guts will shift to I21 and shoot at the enemy climbing up the mast (S21).

Twin Strike:

Attack: {12, 18} + 10 + 1 (quiver) + 1 (bless) + 1 (prime shot) + 2 (combat advantage vs climbing foe) = {27, 33} vs AC
Damage: {8, 7} + 1 = {9, 8}

Guts hopes this is a sign that he is recovering. As a free action he also gives a :tup: to Miss Take's new leather.

edit: Also, the attack from S20 causes me to get bloodied.

[J.T.]

That hits.

:clap: I like healing.

[Abused Student]

The first mate takes 5 damage and attacks S1 and hits for 13.
The helmsman is still focused on keeping the boat off the rocks.
Sailor 1 attacks S2 again, fueled by the little peck from Sailor 2, hitting for 8
Sailor 2 is too worried about Sailor 1 in his assless chaps and misses again
Sailor 3 attacks S1 but misses
Sailor 4 attack S7 and hits for 12
Sailor 5 attacks S7 but misses
Sailor 6 and Sailor 7 shoot arrows at S6. Unfortunately they both suck (no, not like Sailor 1 and Sailor 2 do) and miss
Sailor 8, 11, and 12 focus their fire on S4, all hitting, for 8, 5, and 8.
Sailor 9, 10, and 13 focus on S6, only one hitting for 5.
Sailor 14 and 15 attack S27, both missing.
Sailor 16 and 17 attack S24, both hitting for 9 and 16. S24 was bloodied with CL Eric's attack
Sailor 18 and 20 attack S17, both hitting, for 13 and 9, S17 is now bloodied.
Sailor 19 and 21 attack S10, both missing.

[Abused Student]

After all the red enemies and sailors move, Guts will shift to I21 and shoot at the enemy climbing up the mast (S21).

Twin Strike:

Attack: {12, 18} + 10 + 1 (quiver) + 1 (bless) + 1 (prime shot) + 2 (combat advantage vs climbing foe) = {27, 33} vs AC
Damage: {8, 7} + 1 = {9, 8}

Guts hopes this is a sign that he is recovering. As a free action he also gives a :tup: to Miss Take's new leather.

edit: Also, the attack from S20 causes me to get bloodied.

Both arrows hit.

[Abused Student]

Hteb and Vonteras are up.

[Stillgreen]

Both arrows hit.

How far was it climbing? If it was partway up, did I make it fall?

[Abused Student]

I don't remember but we can say it was part of the way up but no, you didn't make it fall.

Current Map

[Htebazile]

If I move most of the way up the stairs (I guess I can only move two on account of being slowed, unless I was allowed to save against seasickness last turn?), can I see S27 in E19? If so, I want to use Force Orb on him.

[Htebazile]

If I can't see him, I'll just move two spaces up the stairs and sit.

[ldancer911]

I would suggust that Vonteras do a double move back to the stairs on this side of the ship so he is not isolated over there (I think he'll take an opportunity attack but I dont think its that big of a deal).

[Gandalf]

I would suggust that Vonteras do a double move back to the stairs on this side of the ship so he is not isolated over there (I think he'll take an opportunity attack but I dont think its that big of a deal).Are you saying the goblin-loving DM made a dumb move for Vonteras last time? Ok, fine, I want to get my moves over with so Vonteras takes a double move over to V32 to help protect that staircase.

[Gandalf]

I guess you're right for the current situation, though. Originally I thought we could let Vonteras delay and decide for himself, but he might find himself flanked if he did.

You could see S27 from halfway up the stairs as long as you are normal height. A shorty like Miss Take would need to be 3/4 of the way. You can see S19 from your current spot.

[Gandalf]

:swear::swear: Bad dwarf.
Okay, Magic Missile on S19.

d20+5+2+1+1-2 attack
2d4+5+1 damage
d20 = 1
2d4+5+1 = 4+2+5+1

What additional roll do you need to figure out where the missile goes?

[Abused Student]

D6 please

[Gandalf]

D6 please
Hit S19 anyway, please.

d6=4

[Abused Student]

Hit S19 anyway, please.

Sorry but no, it doesn't hit S19. It hits

S14 for 12

[J.T.]

That's ok then.

[Stillgreen]

Nice spell bending trick Hteb!

[Gandalf]

Based on Hteb's pre-attack post, I think she has moved to K32. Also, should she be rolling any saves against sea sickness?

Sorry to be holding things up. I'm out of the office this week attending a somewhat important meeting. (http://www.soa.org/education/exam-req/course-info/edu-fac-course-info.aspx). Feel free to take non-goblin-loving actions for Vonteras this week as y'all see fit. V's handler will return to action next week on a hopefully more participatory basis and hopefully a celebratory basis as well.

:shake: Like that is more important than D&D on the AO? :tup:

[Gandalf]

So I think we go with Sir K's suggestion to double-move Vonteras toward the other stairs, yielding an OA. Vonteras's AC, with hide armor, is 16, I believe.

Vonteras could move to J32, but with Hteb in K32 Vonteras will move only to L32 to protect her should S19 and S14 follow.

What about Hteb and the sea sickness? Should she be rolling saves against it (and if so, she could perhaps be further than K32).

[Abused Student]

S19 misses on the OA. V moves to L32.

Hteb can roll saves every other turn.

[Abused Student]

S1 attacks First Mate, only hitting with one claw for 16 damage and 5 ongoing.
S2 attacks Sailor 2, hitting with all three, doing 12+12+8 for a total of 32 damage. Sailor 1 cries.
S13 moves downstairs to U32:U33
S3 moves to E10 and attacks the Helmsman but misses
S5 turns and attacks Miss Take, missing
S7 attacks Sailor 4 hitting for 13
S8 moves to W8 and attacks Sailor 4 but misses.
S9 shifts to AB17 attacking Sailor 18 for 6.
S10 attacks Sailor 21 but misses
S11 attacks Sailor 21 with flank hitting for 7
S12 attacks Sailor 20 hitting for 7
S14 moves to R30 and sticks his trident into the ship
S19 moves to Q30, also sticking his trident into the ship
S15 attacks Sailor 21 hitting for 13
S16 attacks Sailor 21 with flank missing
S17 attacks Sailor 20 missing
S18 attacks Sailor 20 with flank missing
S21 reaches the crows nest and attacks Sailor 10 hitting for 12
S23 shifts to J22 and attacks Guts missing
S24 attacks Sailor 16 with flank rolling a 20 and hitting for 13
S26 attacks Sailor 16 with flank hitting for 7
S27 attacks Sailor 14 missing
S28 attacks Sailor 14 missing
S29 attacks Sailor 14 missing

[Gandalf]

S19 misses on the OA. V moves to L32.

Hteb can roll saves every other turn.
:swear::swear: Bad dwarf. Shouldn't roll for Hteb, even though the 1 on the missile turned out OK.

Sea sick save d20 = 8. What would she need, and would any modifiers apply?

Gimli, Sir K, then the Capt and Miss Take

[Gandalf]

Gimli marks S24 and charges S24. :swear: :swear: Bad dwarf. Shouldn't roll for anyone, even himself. d20=1. Damage 3d6+9 = 1+1+2+9.

What do I need to roll to see where the maul hits?

As a free action, Guts tells the dwarf that he may have better luck if he switched to his new halberd. On the other hand, Guts with his new quiver has been failing his shots so he may want to keep his mouth shut.

(Charge is only a standard action, not a move action, so I could have sheathed the maul, drawn the halberd, and charged.) If the roll attack would have been a 1 either way, the maul did less damage than the halberd would have.

Sorry, I didn't see this. The ship is made of wood. The tridents are pointy. These are creatures that can breathe in water or air. If they sink the ship, they pretty much have won because they are pretty evenly matched with you on dry ground (ie the ship), in the water, they would gain a huge advantage. Yes, I think it is very possible that they would be able to sink the ship.

Since this won't affect Sir K's move, s24's heart burst out of his chest on the tip of Miss Take's dagger. He looks at it, still beating before collapsing to the deck.

:clap: I like dead seadragons or whatever the heck they are.

I can go downstairs, but I'm obviously most effective when I get a flank. That would be tougher for me to do when there's no one down there.

Is there anyone who can stay down there and kill those 4?

[Abused Student]

There are only 3. One is big.

[J.T.]

There are only 3. One is big.
3,4 what's the difference?

I don't think we want a whole bunch of them down there, or we could all go, but they would follow, and we'd be in a bigger mess.

So Ill go back downstairs so protect the ship:

Double move to P31 (Accept OA from S26)
Divine Challenge S19 - Minor

ETA there is an OA from S23 as well, also that hits and for 7 damage.

[Abused Student]

S4 concentrates fire on Sailor 10, helping the creature in the rigging. With a prayer spectral jaws appear and bit at Sailor 10. Luckily for Sailor 10 he misses
S6 follows against Sailor 10, this one misses too.
S20 does the same although he hits for 19 damage and 5 ongoing, Sailor 10 is bloodied.
S22 does not have an angle on Sailor 10 so he aims at Sailor 11 hitting for 14 and 5 ongoing.
The first mate is hurting but refuses to yield the ship. He attacks S2 hitting for 13 damage
The Helmsman tries to swing at S3 while holding onto the wheel. Luckily he is able to hit for 15 damage.
Sailors 1 and 2 attack S2, their bodies working together as if they were attached at the hips or something, both hitting, both for 12. It is almost like they are used to working in the same rythm or something.
Sailor 3 attacks S1 hitting for 10
Sailor 4 and Sailor 5 attack S7, 5 hitting for 16, 4 missing.
Sailor 6 and 7 aim at S4, one hitting for 8, the other missing, S4 is bloodied.
Sailors 8, 9, 10, and 11 draw cutlesses and attack S21 in their midst. 3 hit for 12, 12, and 15. S21 is bloodied
Sailors 12 and 13 focus on S4, both hitting for 10 and 9, almost cutting it down.
Sailors 14 and 15 attack S27, both hitting for 14 and 9, S27 is bloodied
Sailor 16 attacks S26 rolling a 20 and doing 17 damage, S26 is bloodied
Sailor 17 moves to D16 the long way around to get flank. He hits S29 for 23 damage
Sailors 18 and 20 focus on S17 again, both missing horribly, Sailor 18 actually hurting himself for 6 hp.
Sailors 19 and 21 focus on S10, one hitting for 17.


The first mate and sailor 11 take their 5 ongoing damage and succeed in saving.

[Stillgreen]

I think our priority should be to stop the ones below from sinking the ship. Then make our way up to eliminate the threat to the helmsman. And then mop up the remaining ones in the middle level.

Without further ado, Guts will quaff a potion and then move to H30. He takes aim at S19 (he would prefer S14 but I think it has cover).

Attack: {8, 10} + 12 = {20, 22} vs AC

So I think my turn should happen before the sailors, though it doesn't matter. Also, since S23 already used an OA on Sir K before his next turn, he can't hit me right?

You move safely move and scorch S13 for 12. Do you mean S13 has vulnerability?

[Gandalf]

So is the order Hteb then Vonteras? Do we have an updated map? Probably all they need to know is S19 is Q30, S14 in R30 and S13 in U33. Those locations are correct, and are the only ones on the lower level, aren't they?

(This further assumes Hteb can see those spots from her current position on the stairs. If not, she would need to delay until after Vonteras and move down a step.)

[Abused Student]

Yes, Hteb and then Vonteras. Yes Hteb can see them.

[Stillgreen]

For Vonteras, I see two options: Attack S19 with Sir K or attack S23 to block it from getting to the bottom. As a minor, he could use Shake it off to help Hteb with her save if she needs it. However, it looks like these creatures cause ongoing damage so we may want to save it...

[Gandalf]

Force orb on S19.

Attack is +5+2+1+1-2 vs Reflex
Damage is 2d8+5+1 (I think), 1d10+5+1 vs secondary if both attacks hit

Going to lunch. Can roll for myself after if needed.
From that last sentence, I conclude that she's wisely rejecting the dwarf rolling for her. If someone else feels lucky, I think they could.

Both options for Vonteras sound good. Attacking S23 might keep him away from Hteb, too. What's the situation about attacks involving the stairs? Can Hteb's K32 be attacked from any squares except J32 and L32? Could L32 be attacked from the "20" level (e.g. L20 or L22)? Does someone on a higher step or level gain combat advantage in a melee attack situation?
