LoF: The Carrion King; Day Three

[Duniagdra]

Erin checks "around" (the room) (1d20+8=10)

Erin looks about and sees nothing more than Ox has.

[larenee]

While allowing the rest of them to consider the options, Kroft joins in the search for anything hidden.
Searching inside (1d20+5=20)

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Did Kroft take any of the Potions we last split HERE? As far as I can see, there was 7 potions in that treasure, and Ox has 2.

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Did Kroft take any of the Potions we last split HERE? As far as I can see, there was 7 potions in that treasure, and Ox has 2.

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    In all, there are 10 CLW potions and 2 CMW potions. Ox took 2 as that was noted in the LD for LoF. Since no one responded to my remark about the service provider causing the loss of posts that others made claiming things, I didn't concern myself to it, as it wasn't important to any of you. Here's the list of unclaimed items. Loot for each of the 6 players: 244 gp, 8 sp / 3 cp (standard rate of 50%) Kelmarane; Overthrowing the Gnolls Ambush #2; 6 Gnoll Beatdown 6x Scimitar (8gp) 6x Spear (1gp) 6x Leather Armor (5gp) 6x Heavy Wooden Shield (4gp) 5x Potion of Cure light wounds (25gp) Gold$285 2x Potion of Cure light wounds (25gp) {Ox} The Big Bad Boar Masterwork thieves' tools (50gp) Climber's Kit (40gp) 2x Hand Crossbow (50gp) 40x Crossbow Bolt (gp) Everburning Torch (55gp) Disguise Kit (25gp) 3x Potion of Cure light wounds (25gp) 2x Potion of Cure moderate wounds (150gp) Gold$310 Generated by the Loot Divider, Version 1.10

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Yes, Kroft has one Cure light potion; and the masterwork thieve's tools. Since there are 10 potions total, I'll take a second one, if there are no objections. Question, do the specific items taken count a part of the gp total for each character? In other words, does Kroft get the two CLWs, the tools, and 144 gp?

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    What Items you take, TOS+ will sum the values of. Items assigned to players do not count to the distributed loot to each player, as indicated in red. That represents the shared value of items that would be sold and coin found and other. Expendable items, like potions and such, should only remain in you carried gear section for as long as you have not used it.

[Arpat]

Erin has a strange interest in the thiefs tools (can't have enough of those she says) and the disguise kit (can't make me look bigger she laughs)
and one potion of cure light wounds would also be nice... just for dire situations...

[larenee]

Noticing Erin's interest... “Have you used these types of tools before? I would be happy to show you. If you need some, you're welcome to my spare set.” He offers his older kit, even while making sure the masterwork set is safely stored in his gear.

[Twiglet]

“I will take the climber's kit if no one else wants it.”

[tdsprouse]

Simi will take a couple Cure light wounds if there are any left, if not, that's ok.


“So, are we waiting or going? If waiting, i suggest we hide, leaving maybe one or two of us with our backs to the door, perhaps searching the corpse or room.”

[admin]

“I saw we ambush them here... Perhaps we could make it so it looks like the creature is resting?” Ox says

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    For Loot, we really need a better way to 'split it' - Most likely outside of the adventuring thread itself, as it 'breaks' the beat.... And we need to split it faster - for instance, we really should assign all the potions, so we're not stuck in mid-combat, wondering if we have a potion on us or not. Ideas?! Don't post here! Open a new thread?!

[Arpat]

Erin looks at Kroft and smiles, “"I am always eager to learn something new, Kroft... I didn't know you were so well educated in the art of opening locks..."” she speaks softly. “"Are you sure you want me to have these tools?"”

[Benji]

Laron looks back to the others from his watch point. “Come on... We can discuss the takings once we're done here! Lets finish our task!”

[Duniagdra]

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    What's your task? What are you doing.

[admin]

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Is there anything/objects that can be used to 'hide' behind for an ambush?

[Arpat]

Erin moves to the door “"I'll go outside and check the surroundings"” and opens the door carefully and slips out if it seems safe.
moving stealthy out of the door (1d20+13=19)

//ooc unless there is a way to get on the roof of the house from the inside erin will go outside to check if there are enemy closing in.

[Duniagdra]

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Is there anything/objects that can be used to 'hide' behind for an ambush?

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    It's a mill. There's enough large cogs and gears and other mechanisms to try and hide behind. It all depends on how well you roll.

[admin]

“Alright then - I propose we hide here and ambush the Gnolls that come to feed this thing... We can be out of view behind these gears. The experts at hiding could help us non-experts to hide better, and Laron's familiar can keep a discreet eye outside to advise us when the Gnolls come.” Ox lays out his plan for the next phase.
“Once this task is done, we're out of here” he concludes.

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    A) Is Kroft healed a bit?! B) If we have time, can we take 20 to find superb hiding positions, with the help of the rogues to evaluate these positions?

[Arpat]

// ooc I don't know how ruined the mill is, but if erin is outside can she climb up the mill and keep watch and using her bow to shoot from outside to at enemys inside?

[Benji]

When Erin goes to move outside, Laron will shake his head. “It will be safer for you inside. Katja can keep an eye out for trouble.”

[Duniagdra]

// ooc I don't know how ruined the mill is, but if erin is outside can she climb up the mill and keep watch and using her bow to shoot from outside to at enemys inside?

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    While the integrity of the structure is still stable, and the roof has many points where a ranged attack could gain advantage, the still is the stair leading to an elevated room. I think I mentioned it as an office? This would likely be better, at least to me it would.

[Arpat]

//ooc ah... i must have missed something...
Erin closes the door and moves into the "office" like room and prepares her bow and arrow... She also looks for other places to hide for her comrades.

[Duniagdra]

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Anyone attempting to hide/conceal their presence must roll for stealth to do so, otherwise, you are not hidden/concealed. You know the rules.

[admin]

Ox asks help from the rogues to help with his hiding place
“Can you two help me for my hiding place?”
Stealth to hide in the Mill (add synergies from Rogues if they can help out) (1d20-2=6)

[larenee]

If there is enough cover in the corner (F-37), Kroft will attempt to hide there.
Stealth to hide at F-37 (1d20+9=12)

If his skills can be used to assist others in their attempts to hide, he will help.
Stealth roll to 'aid,' if possible (1d20+9=11)

[Arpat]

Erin nods in agreement...
she moves up inside the mill to hide in the office (1d20+13=27) and use her bow to shoot at enemys
and aid others with hiding (1d20+13=30)
she points out a good particular good spot for Ox

[tdsprouse]

“I'll wait in the center of the room, near the dead creature, with my back to the door. I'm terrible at hiding, and this way I might entice them to focus on me giving some of you an opportunity to come around behind.”

Simi takes a position as described, waiting for signal that they're coming. When they arrive, Simi doesn't react, but readies a full defensive posture if they attack.

[Benji]

“I also don't trust myself to keep hidden, I'll wait with Simi.” Laron says, taking up a position next to his new friend.

[Twiglet]

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    -1 stealth bonus - - - I think I will just stand with the other two.

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Conditions/Effects: Kroft, Hiding, 18/25 (received 2 Lay on Hands from Simi) Ox, Hiding, 31/33 Erin, Hiding in "office", 24/25 Laron, Standing around creature (weapons still drawn?) Simi, Standing around creature (weapons still drawn?), 25/28 Eli, Standing around creature (weapons still drawn?)

Each of you take your positions and wait. Time drags as you watch the beams of sunlight streaking in glide across the floor until reaching near vertical. Any moment now. Must have been the longest two hours you've spent waiting, not counting all the other times you've sat in waiting for your prey to show. Then Laron gets a twitch. He signals.
“They're crossing the bridge now, with a goat. Four gnolls, as before.”

A couple more minutes pass and you can hear the goat being lead around the building to the large door. There's grunts and dog-like chatter and a bleating from the goat and then the door opens. The four gnolls shove the goat forward, into the mill before really looking inside. When they do, they see Simi, Laron, and Eli standing over the body of the creature they were going to feed.
