[Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections

[smeltdm]

Not caring for his current situation Prost moves to a mores defensive position at 1507 and fights defensively, attacking invisible creature. #1... Can't get to you guys, you got to come to me

OUT OF CHARACTER

Pat I'm not sure what is going on with Rolz, but I think that attack should of been a 27??? 19+8=27

“Prost, please withdraw and move back to us. Its more strategic for just you to try and move along the shaky walkway vs asking ALL of us to try that risky move, also single file walkway is problematic for both fighting and touch healing spells.”

OUT OF CHARACTER

earlier post mentioned a balance check required - not ideal for many of us...

 

Lola loads her crossbow and trys to find something to shoot


If think she thinks she knows where something is, she lets the party know and shoots..

Sigh.

Worrel moves to stand over the fallen opponent, keeping his bow up.

"One of your fellows still lives! Will you fight until no one is standing? Or, speak with us?

[Jinxs-3d]

Ardrea will command the whip to move near Prost at attack at 1106. Hopefully to keep a path open for Prost.
She will otherwise stay defensive.

[smeltdm]

who's missing?

[CGM3]

Cyrius relinquishes the fallen foe to Worrell and turns his attention to the interior, looking for Prost and any visible foes.

[patransom]

ROUND 13 CONTINUES

Lola calls out “Prost, please withdraw and move back to us. Its more strategic for just you to try and move along the shaky walkway vs asking ALL of us to try that risky move, also single file walkway is problematic for both fighting and touch healing spells.” She reloads her crossbow, then tries to find something to shoot. She sees nothing to indicate where the creature formerly entangled by the whip went.

Tex moves to the far end of the platform and tries to squeeze off a shot at the location from which Prost indicated he was last attacked. The arrow's cruel tip embeds itself harshly in something invisible there [4 hp damage]

Worrel moves to stand over the fallen opponent, keeping his bow up. He shouts One of your fellows still lives! Will you fight until no one is standing? Or, speak with us?

ROUND 14 BEGINS

Ardrea commands the whip to move near Prost and attack. The whip emits a loud crack as it connects with something at that location [3 hp nonlethal]. However, it fails to wrap around the target.

Cyrius relinquishes the fallen foe to Worrell and turns his attention to the interior, looking for Prost and any visible foes. Like Lola, he sees no sign of the invisible creatures.

Not caring for his current situation Prost moves to a more defensive position back on the far platform. A fierce blow smacks into him as he leaves [14 hp damage]. The beam he's on wobbles, but Prost easily keeps his balance [hint: the balance check is trivial for Prost, given his acrobatics skill]. From his new, more stable position, Prost fights defensively, shooting his slingstaff at where the attack originated. His bullet drops harmlessly in the water [a victim of the 50% miss chance]. He shouts Can't get to you guys, you got to come to me

Fluffy guards Cyrius.

Over near Prost, two voices exchange words in an unknown language. Then one calls out in response to Worrel, You leave, go back the way you came, and we'll not kill you. Or come back with the password. That is the contract.

ACTIVE EFFECTS

Bless (all PCs except Prost): 5.0 minutes remaining Feather Token Whip: +10 BAB, 1d6+1 nonlethal, free grapple attack (with a +15 bonus on its combat maneuver checks) if it hits; 58.9 minutes remaining I've put question marks where you suspect the invisible attackers might be located.

For reference, this is a description of the room you are all in: Much of the floor of this ruined chamber has given way, revealing a large stagnant pool of water below. Rusted spears and broken swords break the surface of this pool throughout the room. A framework of soggy timbers that might have once supported the floor still stands, stretching out across the void.

Prost retrieves a portion of gaseous form and drinks it...

Pat i have more than just one, that took two actions I believe and possibly an attack of opportunity (fighting defensively AC is 23)hoping I don't get hit . If i have an action left let me know

It's been a long time, in RL, since the encounter in the inn's bar room that led us here. Is there any chance for an roll, etc. for a character to recall something from that encounter?

DId we get any scraps of paper, etc. from the (presumed) doppelganger that we fought in the bar room?

 

[ElectroZman]

Tex says quietly, Worrel, help me with this guy. Maybe we can get the password from him.

He calls out, OK, we'll be back with the password. No more fighting!

To the others he suggests, “Lets head back a bit.”

Tex slings his bow and grabs the unconscious fake Prosts' feet. Assuming Worrel grabs the shoulders, they bring him back into the Jails cells. Then close the doors behind them after everyone else enters. He then binds the fake Prosts feet and hands.

OUT OF CHARACTER

I forget if I dropped the axe or not. If so, will retrieve it before closing doors. (I realize there are Lots of actions here.)

OUT OF CHARACTER

Do you all agree with Tex's plan? If so, the invisible stalkers will let you go. We can end combat. Prost won't have to use his potion, because he can't fail the balance check to walk on the beams if he moves slowly and isn't being attacked.

 

[smeltdm]

Prost agrees with the plan!!

[Silverstone]

Lola agrees with the plan.
Lola whispers to our team How long will that whip last? maybe can we use that to also help secure the prisoner in addition to tieing them up?

[JPetherick]

OUT OF CHARACTER

Yes, Worrel agrees to the truce.

 

[Jinxs-3d]

Ardrea agrees as well.

[CGM3]

Cyrius agrees to the truce, but will stay alert for treachery.

COMBAT ENDS (FOR NOW)

Tex says quietly, Worrel, help me with this guy. Maybe we can get the password from him. He calls out, OK, we'll be back with the password. No more fighting! To the others he suggests, “Lets head back a bit.”

The rest of the party agrees. Tex and Worrel grab the unconscious Fake Prost and move off the platform back into the room with the cells. The rest of the group follows. Prost has no trouble balancing on the awkward beams, so decides not to drink his potion.

As the party retreats, Lola whispers How long will that whip last? maybe can we use that to also help secure the prisoner in addition to tying them up? When everyone has left the watery room, Prost closes the doors behind them.

OUT OF CHARACTER

Who will do the tying up? It's a check using your combat maneuver bonus

Tex is a +8 CMB. Seems the whip is better than he is.

Lola CMB is only 5

 

[patransom]

OUT OF CHARACTER

The whip can only grapple, not tie up. Rules for tying up are below. I misspoke when I said it's a "check." It's actually a fixed DC 20+your CMB, which will probably be more difficult to escape than the whip's grapple for many of you...

 

If you have your target pinned, otherwise restrained, or unconscious, you can use rope to tie him up. This works like a pin effect, but the DC to escape the bonds is equal to 20 + your Combat Maneuver Bonus (instead of your CMD). The ropes do not need to make a check every round to maintain the pin. If you are grappling the target, you can attempt to tie him up in ropes, but doing so requires a combat maneuver check at a –10 penalty. If the DC to escape from these bindings is higher than 20 + the target’s CMB, the target cannot escape from the bonds, even with a natural 20 on the check.

[Silverstone]

OUT OF CHARACTER

ok, so propose someone with high cmb ties it up AND we additionaly have whip grapple the bound figure, net I think then two rolls to be free

 

[CGM3]

Cyrius' CMB is also +8

[JPetherick]

OUT OF CHARACTER

Worrel's CMB is +10

 

Worrel fetches some rope from his pack while keeping his eyes forward. Once his hand feels the rope, he pulls it forward and approaches the fallen opponent.

THINKING: Like tying up a calf, thinks Worrel as he wraps the rope around the opponent's ankles and wrists.

[patransom]

Worrel ties up the doppelganger and the whip also coils around for some extra security. The creature remains unconscious...

Prost uses the goggles of minute seeing examine the key that took from the. Doppelgänger at the bar for any writing or password.

OUT OF CHARACTER

Pat if you want to roll that, and is there advantage because of the burger braces I’m wearing? Sorry Pat, I don’t have my sheet in front of me. I’m doing this from my iPad.

 

Prost suggest maybe he shouldn’t be around when fake Prost wakes up… I could go around the corner and check out the chest at the stairs for clues, for a password or anything. What do you think?

[ElectroZman]

Tex nods to Prost's suggestion. He's not really one for conversation, so he'll let others do the 'interrogation'.

He does search the other bodies in case there is something more on them that might help.
