Chapter 1.2: A Marsh - Under the Tower (level 2)

[TheMyth]

Lia

Lia raises her holy symbol and attempts to repel the abominations.

Turn Undead: [2d6]=11

The zombie turns its back to Lia and lurches to the southeastern corner of the room.

It crouches there, unmoving.

Cinders slinks forward and slices the abomination in twain.

Scimitar [1d20+4]=7+4=11 Damage [1d6+1]=3+1=4

Combat ended.

The remains of two zombies lay upon the ground. There are five caskets in the room, and two are opened.

[Rex]

Myrrh

Myrrh walks over and starts searching the open coffins first.

[TheMyth]

Myrrh

Myrrh walks over and starts searching the open coffins first.

Myrrh finds nothing. Not even a pillow.

[Edeldhur]

Ellith

Ellith instructs Faron to sniff around the closed caskets, trying to ascertain if more zombies might be inside.

[Rex]

Myrrh

"We should be prepared for more when we open them up. One at a time, everyone in position."

[TheMyth]

Ellith

Ellith instructs Faron to sniff around the closed caskets, trying to ascertain if more zombies might be inside.

Faron just smells death...but also hears no movement inside.

Myrrh

"We should be prepared for more when we open them up. One at a time, everyone in position."

Myrrh opens the first casket...

He flips the lid open, exposing a corpse. The corpse does not rise.

[Rex]

Myrrh

Myrrh will examine the corpse and inside the casket. Any items, secret compartments, what is under the casket etc.

[TheMyth]

Myrrh

Myrrh will examine the corpse and inside the casket. Any items, secret compartments, what is under the casket etc.

Nothing is found other than the rotting corpse.

[Edeldhur]

Ellith

"Next casket?" - Ellith suggested, standing at the ready.

[Rex]

Myrrh

"Yes, lets keep at it just in case."

Myrrh moves to the next casket.

To move it along assume Myrrh will search them all unless he encounters something first.

[Edeldhur]

Ellith

And Ellith and Faron stand closeby in case a fight breaks out.

[TheMyth]

With Myrrh opening and searching by himself - and everyone else standing around watching him do all the work - this task takes 30 minutes. And is ultimately fruitless. Each casket holds nothing but a rotting corpse dressed in rags.

But....in that time, a monster wanders in: 4 Giant Rats get the drop on the group!

Surprise? PCs are surprised!

PCs d6= [1d6]=2, Enemy d6= [1d6]=5

[Rex]

Myrrh

Myrrh attacks the closest rat.

Vowbound Sword [1d20+1]=17+1=18 to hit [1d8+1]=1+1=2 damage

[Darithe]

Lia

Lia stands inactive for a moment at the sudden appearance of the rats. She makes a feeble attack at the one closest to her.

Attack Roll: [1d20]=3

[Dicey]

“By Moradin’s bushy beard!” exclaimed Gromp. “Is everything down here as big as me?!”

The dwarf leapt like a guerilla in front of Lia, his
eyes wild, spittle flying, mouth smiling, ass farting.swinging his sword and dagger at the rat.

M’Lady [1d20+2]=1+2=3, d. [1d8+2]=2+2=4, dagger [1d20]=11, d [1d4+2]=2+2=4 Jesus H Christ this roller sucks

[Edeldhur]

Ellith

Both Ellith and Faron whirled around, attacking the rats. Noticing Cinder's wounds, they focus on those attacking her.

[1d20+1]=13+1=14, [1d8+1]=6+1=7

Faron Bites! [1d20+2]=7+2=9, Damage [1d6]=2

[BaltoBruiser]

Brondulm

Moves to engage the Rat attacking Vali (he has a soft spot for the ugly gnome) and slashes it with short Sword but missing his stab with Lefty:

Short Sword to hit: [1d20+2]=11+2=13; damage [1d6+2]=2+2=4

Lefty to hit [1d20-2]=6-2=4; damage [1d4+1]=4+1=5

[TheMyth]

Myrrh stabs and kills a rat.

Lia swings and misses.

Gromp roars, spittle flying, his blades missing as a rat skitters from his reach. (It seems to snicker at him!)

Ellith skewers a second rat, but Faron snaps air as a rat dodges his bite.

Brondulm slays a third rat with his blades.

Cinders misses her target. Scimitar [1d20+4]=4+4=8 Damage [1d6+1]=4+1=5

Brinna's swordthrust also misses the skittering target. Sword [1d20+1]=9+1=10 Damage [1d8+1]=6+1=7

But little Vali stabs the fourth rat with his dagger, slaying the beast! Dagger [1d20+1]=15+1=16 Damage [1d4+1]=2+1=3

Combat Ended.

Vali kicks the dead rat into the room. "Put the foul beastie into that room and shut the door! he spits. "We have other doors to open!"

To the Western Door? Roll d6 to open!

[Rex]

Myrrh

"Maybe Faron would eat the rats for dinner? It would save some rations."

Open doors (3:6) [1d6]=5

"Nope, it is stuck."

[BaltoBruiser]

Brondulm

Cinders are you well? I would hate for us to lose you and your knowledge. Can one of the cleric cast CLW on her?
