Hallow's Last Hope: Day 3; The Crucible Monastery

[tdsprouse]

Ryaid moves to H10 (Low-Light is not helpful here, right?)

Having heard the the dangers are above, He wildly swings upward above Delastian head at D1, Rapier to D1 & percentile (1d20+4=18, 1d6+3=7, 1d100=63)

[marine7312000]

Delastian swings his sword at the vargouille with it held in both hands.

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    1d20+5=12, 1d10+6=9, 1d100=58

[apwhite]

Locutus having spent many nights by a campfire has heard stories of strange creatures that lurk in the rooftops and drop onto unsuspecting passersby. THINKING: Perhaps the owner of this shoe has fallen victim to this creature. Locutus will cast Guidance on him self and ready his dagger for an attack.

[BusyCowboy]

Illixian keeps his position, watching as the others fight, keeping healing spells at the ready....

[Benji]

Hearing the sounds of combat, Drini moves to I11, realising too late that he can't see a bloody thing.

[Duniagdra]

Cautiously, Collin will move to I10

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    What he does depends on what he sees...

I guess I should have given you this when you posted.

Collin reachs the open door and though the area is darkened somehow, he can still see. He sees before him Delastian and some octopus-like thing that is flying in the air above him.

[LinusMundane]

Collin will approach and strike the creature. Yelling out its general location for those who cannot see.

Attack, Damage (1d20+4=7, 1d6+4=9)

[Duniagdra]

Any attacks have a 20% miss chance.

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    What he does depends on what he sees...

Collin will approach and strike the creature. Yelling out its general location for those who cannot see.

Attack, Damage (1d20+4=7, 1d6+4=9)

Collin reaches a point that allows him to see this thing, something like an octopus, flying above Delastian. Being quick on his feet, and able to see in this darkness, Collin moves in close to Delastian, letting everyone know about where the threat is. Collin draws his weapon, but misses as the creature beats it's membrane against the in time to lift it above his blade.

Ryaid moves to H10 (Low-Light is not helpful here, right?)

Having heard the the dangers are above, He wildly swings upward above Delastian head at D1, Rapier to D1 & percentile (1d20+4=18, 1d6+3=7, 1d100=63)

Hearing the struggle between Del and Collin calling out the spot that this thing is at, Ryiad enters the darkness and amazingly hits the creature And it falls with a thud on top of Del, who throws it from him to the ground.(D1 Dead)

Locutus having spent many nights by a campfire has heard stories of strange creatures that lurk in the rooftops and drop onto unsuspecting passersby. THINKING: Perhaps the owner of this shoe has fallen victim to this creature. Locutus will cast Guidance on him self and ready his dagger for an attack.

Locutus reflects a moment and then casts a spell on himself.

Delastian swings his sword at the vargouille with it held in both hands.

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    1d20+5=12, 1d10+6=9, 1d100=58

In reaction to the thing falling on him, Del thrusts his weapon through the creature, tearing a massive hole in its body.

Hearing the sounds of combat, Drini moves to I11, realising too late that he can't see a bloody thing.

Drini enters the darkness in some attempt to help, but he soon recalls he has no way of seeing in Darkness.

Just when you all think its over, Del grunts as he is yet attacked again.

Spoiler: show

Attack/Damage vs Del (1d20+5=16, 1d4+4=6)
Grapple vs Del (1d20=6)

Though Del takes the force of the slam from this thing falling on him, he manages to shake loose as it tries getting a firm hold of him. The creature raises up, just out of reach of everyone. Ox sees it just out of reach at I9. (Del -6hp)

Illixian keeps his position, watching as the others fight, keeping healing spells at the ready....

Illixian is readying spells to aid his team with healing should it be really needed.

[marine7312000]

Delastian attemps to hit D1 with his bastard sword.

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    1d20+5=7, 1d10+6=12, 1d100=22

[Duniagdra]

It seems D1 is still visible in the map, but D1 is dead. Not that it matters much to Del with a 7 attack roll .

[LinusMundane]

With the second creature right next to Collin, he will unleash a flurry of blows down upon the pitiful thing. Again yelling out its location so the others may know where to focus.

Attack 1, Attack 2, Damage 1, Damage 2 (1d20+3=20, 1d20+3=6, 1d6+4=7, 1d6+4=5)

Someone did not read my posts completely it seems. As I said in my post, and I repeat now, the creature you're fighting is just out of reach of everyone. Should I assume that Collin will delay for it to come within his reach?

[LinusMundane]

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Sorry Duni. COllin will ready until the creature comes into reach. Can I use the rolls up there or would you want me to re roll?

[Benji]

Instead of accidentally hurting his companions in the darkness, Drini will close his eyes and wait for something to attack him, before attacking back.

[Duniagdra]

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Sorry Duni. COllin will ready until the creature comes into reach. Can I use the rolls up there or would you want me to re roll?

You're rolls are fine, I'll just go through the motions for everyone to post before ending the encounter.

[marine7312000]

Delastian readies hi sword for when D2 comes into range.

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    1d20+5=8, 1d10+6=14, 1d100=32 If only i could hit...

[tdsprouse]

Ryiad will ready his attack until he hears the critter attack someone, then will thrust his rapier wildly into the air.

Attack, Damage, Percentile (1d20+4=14, 1d6+3=5, 1d100=10)

[apwhite]

Not wanting to get hit in the fray, Locutus backs out of the room and continues his investigation in the hallway.

[Duniagdra]

With everyone doing as they are doing, D2 attempts to attack Del again, but before it can do so, it comes close enough for Collin to reach. He pummels the thing into tomorrow as his fists tear open the main body of the creature. With the creature dead, the darkness fades and before you are two octopus-like creatures.

With the threat gone, and no further attacks from above, and an all clear from Del, you begin to search the room. After a bit of searching, the only thing of note you find is on the alter. Five small depressions are found in it. They are oblong in shape and relatively small, about the size of a small stone. It's as if something were to be put in them.

In the hall, Locutus notices nothing new.

[apwhite]

Locutus opens the door at H12.

[tdsprouse]

Ryaid backs him up.

[marine7312000]

Delastian will follow Locutus and Ryiad.

[Duniagdra]

Locutus opens the door at H12.

Ryaid backs him up.

Delastian will follow Locutus and Ryiad.

Locutus goes to open the door, but he finds it is stuck. This will need a little bit of strength.

[LinusMundane]

Collin will approach the stuck door and give a mighty tug.


Strength check for door. (1d20+4=17)

[Duniagdra]

Collin will approach the stuck door and give a mighty tug.


Strength check for door. (1d20+4=17)

Collin works his way past Locutus, Ryiad, and Del and forcefully opens the door. With a loud crack, the door finally gives way and opens, shattering an ancient wooden chair propped against it on the other side. The room beyond is dark and smells deeply of dust and decay.

In the center of the small room is the mummified body of a dwarf in blacksmiths garbs. beside him is the shattered shards of a glass vial. In another hand is a parchment written in dwarven.

Spoiler: show

“Forgive me, dark father of the forge, my toils shall never be enough.”

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Has everyone sent in their updated tos file? If not please do so.

[marine7312000]

Delastian will move into the room and says a prayer over the body of the dwarf.

[tdsprouse]

Ryiad trips over the praying Delastian while trying to move into the room.

Search Area 5 (1d20+9=10)


“oh, sorry Delastian, didnt see you.”

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    oops

[marine7312000]

Delastian doesn't even realize Ryiad is there until after he completes his prayer.

[Benji]

Drini moves into Room 10 and begins searching it for anything that got missed with a glance.

[BusyCowboy]

Illixian squeezes into where he can and takes a peek around then whistles “Whew, such a small room.” as it suddenly dawns on him to step one area out just to be on the safe.
