CHAPTER 3: Into the Vaults

#1 Post by Norjax »

...

Zeek, satisfied with his survey of the western chamber, returns to the room with the kobold eggs. Anne examines the two hatchling corpses that fell out of the busted eggs. They do not contain any ornamentation or preparation for burial. These two died while in the egg, prior to hatching.

Arya overcomes from panic once she realizes that Dart survived the acid trap. Cautiously, she enters the statue chamber and moves near one of the mummies. She prods at the wrapped corpse with her staff. It appears to be solid and doesn’t react to her violation.

Ruby returns to the round doorway and vomits when she sees Derrek and Luke’s melted bodies. She looks in and sees Arya and Knuckles exploring the room beyond.

After a moment of unnerving shock, Knuckles joins Arya in the mummy vault. He cautiously approaches one of the stone urns and starts to look over the rim. Suddenly, he notices movement inside the urn and is able to back away before a large black spider jumps out to attack him. (He gets the initiative, so he is able to make an attack roll before it can make its attempt)

Image

OOC: Urson, make an initiative roll for Arya and Ruby.

OOC: Only Knuckles, Arya and Ruby may react to the spider this round. Once the others hear or are informed, they may react.

Einstein leaves the egg chamber and pads south along the southern corridor. He steps into a room 34ft wide x 20ft deep, with the floor in the southeast corner collapsed into an underground stream. The water flows at a regular pace from east to south. A few piles of rubbish and rotten wood are scattered about. The room is undecorated and seemingly unoccupied.

OOC: So far, only mummified hatchlings are in the eggs.

"So, nothing here then. Lets band together" say Zeek.


"By Jupiter's Cock, where in the Abys is Sir Honksalot?"
Anne will go find her companion

(OOC: when she find the corpses, she will do a spider sign to bless them, and loot what is lootable)

Knuckles swings wildly at the spider, letting out the high pitched squeal of a doomed animal.

Knuckles attack: [1d20+1] = 3+1 = 4 dam [1d4+1] = 1+1 = 2

Einstein moves over to the water's edge to see how deep/ fast flowing the water is. Would someone traveling in it be sloshing along in the water, or carried along with the flow?

Shocked into action by Knuckles' shriek, Tony and Betty rush to see what all the commotion is about.

Although startled by the spider, Knuckles is able to swing, but misses the arachnid as it bounds up towards him.

  • ~ The desiccated spider tries to bite the wainwright, but slips on the rim and tumbles back into the urn! (Miss, FUMBLE)


Arya rushes over to assist Knuckles. She swings her staff, like a bat, and tries to connect with the web-slinger. She misses it just as the arachnid falls back.

Ruby squeals and backs away from the room, terrified by the 8-legged bug.

Zeek and Anne head north to join the others and find the goose.

OOC: I made a double movement for both characters. Current location is on the map.

Tony and Betty react to Knuckle’s scream, and leave the egg room to investigate.

Einstein approaches the edge of the collapsed floor and stops when he takes in the steep incline of the 15ft deep sunken area. The slope looks unsafe to descend without rope or assistance. He peers down at the water and determines its pace would neither impede movement against the current nor carry one along if they slipped and fell.

Arya grabs Knuckles' torch and drops it into the urn, on top of the spider. (init: [1d20] = 4 )

Ruby is her usual squealing, useless self.

Tony Bursts into the room and quickly takes stock of the situation. He moves to attack the spider with his Longsword

Initiative[1d20] = 14
Longsword [1d20] = 18 Damage [1d8-1] = 7-1 = 6 YES!

Huffing and puffing on her short little legs, Betty strains to keep up with Arya and Zeek.

Tony bursts into the room and sees Knuckles and Arya near the stone urn. He rushes over, looks into the pot and sees the spider trying to right itself. The minstrel uses his new longsword to stab the fluttering arachnid dead! (6pt. dmg)

OOC: Tony had the initiative over Arya, so he went first. Zeek and Anne did not roll initiative and they chose to fight from behind the others, so I judged that Tony was able to take action first.

Arya grabs Knuckle’s torch and drops it into the urn, just to make sure the critter is dead. The smell of smoldering rot fills the air around the stone container.

Zeek and Anne look on with curiosity, convinced the spider is dead.

Ruby remains in the hallway, mumbling with fear. Betty enters the room and sees four of her companions huddled around the urn.

Knuckles stands motionless as the action takes place around him.

Knuckles shakes himself out of his reverie, now that the spider is dead "Holy arachnids! Do you think they're all full of spiders? Should we check them all...?" He'll head over to the big urn to the east, and peek in...

Einstein will return to the others to see what's going on...

Arya attempts to retrieve the torch from the urn. If need be, she'll push it over.

Ruby decides that being alone in the dark corridor is worse than the bugs. She re-enters the room with the others and begins poking around the mummies, using her sword tip.

Tony follows Knuckles (for support of course) sword at the ready in case more spiders are present.

Betty hangs back, slightly terrified of all the mummies present.

Knuckles retrieves his torch and cautiously approaches the lower, eastern urn and peeks in to see if it contains a spider.
Zeek follows the wainwright over to the stone container.
Tony follows Knuckles and Zeek over to the urn, sword at the ready.

When the three get to the urn, a black spider with painted red markings bounds out and attacks Zeek! (He has the lowest Luck)

Image

OOC: Since they were prepared, all three get to attack before the spider. These three do not need an initiative roll. This is your chance to kill it before it can attack Zeek. Zeek may attempt to withdraw, but the spider will get a free attack against him.

Anne searches the room, beginning with the larger mummies on the floor in the south. Ruby joins Anne at the mummies.

They poke and prod the old linen-wrapped corpses which are dried and hollow, breaking down to dust as they probe. The mummies appear to be adult kobolds.

---

Arya goes for the torch but is beat by Knuckles. She looks in at the dead spider and tries to tip the urn over, but lacks the strength.

Betty hangs back, unwilling to get any closer.

Einstein finishes his observations of the collapsed floor and returns north to his companions.

OOC: He makes a double move for his actions. His position on the map reflects this

Knuckles lets out a high pitched squeal and whacks ineffectively at the spider with his club.

Einstein comes into the room and stands with the group in the back, watching nervously.

Knuckles' Attack: [1d20+1] = 2+1 = 3 dam [1d4+1] = 3+1 = 4

Zeek intent was to throw the torch into the urn, so he attack the spider with the torch:
[1d20] = 8

(dont know if he gets bonus or penalties. at least i think he can give a penalty to the spider, because of fire and such)

Anne (OOC: if i can retcon) was goingo to get sir Honksalot back.

Tony cuts the spider in half with his longsword! (3pt. dmg. – DEAD!) Knuckles is slow to the attack and misses. Zeek tosses a torch into the urn to make sure no other critters are inside. (None are) The three look at the remains of the formally animated corpse painted with red markings.

Einstein enters the room and hangs back near Betty and Arya.

Anne finds Sir Honksalot and heads back to the mummy room.

OOC: I retconned Anne to get the goose. Based on a 60ft double move per round, her current location is shown on the map

Arya asks for some help in trying to tip the urn over.

Ruby begins to examine the room’s walls. (Die roll by DM)

OOC: I moved her 30ft for the round.
