Chp. 3: La Muerta Espara

[Mant72]

Calto the Druid:

Seeing the serpent apparently retreating, Calto waits until he is out of striking distance and attempts to retrieve the body of his fallen comrade, Grindhelm. He then tries to drag the dwarf to the doorway where the others are waiting.

Tabai Save v Poison (11) [1d20] = 12

Alex 'Blade Rain' Vam; human male Fighter


Still furious over seeing his friends fall, Blade Rain isn't about to let the demon serpent get away without one last attempt at revenge, so he draws his last 3 daggers and lets fly in a last ditch attempt to drop the cursed two-headed terror….


OOC: 3 normal dagger attacks:

[1d20+4] = 6+4 = 10

I doubt that hits, but if so; damage is: [1d4+2] = 1+2 = 3

[1d20+4] = 11+4 = 15

If that hits (hopefully); damage is: [1d4+2] = 2+2 = 4

[1d20+4] = 16+4 = 20

Damage is: [1d4+2] = 4+2 = 6

[Grognardsw]

Bruno the gnome blinks back into the northwest area of the chamber, staggers, and keels over dead.

Calto the druid grabs the dead Grindhelm and carries him back to the south doorway.

As the snake slithers into the hole in the north wall, the angry Blade Rain throws three more daggers. Two strike the second rear head of the two-headed snake. That head hisses and dies, but the rest of the body and the head at the other end keep moving into the darkness of the earth.

All is quiet.

- Bruno missed the Save by 1. Bruno was 20' away, but the snake is 40' with a head at each end, so it could strike. I did give Bruno a 20% to be attacked though compared to the 40% of others.
- The dice gods continue to smile upon Tabai.
- I think three of Blade Rain's 9 daggers missed. The others may or may not be stuck in the gone snake. Roll 1d6+1 to see how many you can recover.
- Kitchi's tomahawk hit. It may still be in the snake. You can roll percentile. 1-60 it fell out as it left the room.

[Inferno]

Azoth Al-Aziz, occultic priest:

Too angry to speak, the dark cleric calls upon the apathy of Nodens to try to calm himself.

If his otherworldly sight abides, he will open the nearest door to search for traps in the adjacent room.

[Mant72]

Calto the Druid:

The usually stoic Calto is moved to inexplicable anger and grief as he gathers the bodies of the three fallen comrades. He lines them all in a row and pulls their cloaks over their pale faces. He stands in mourning, peering down at the trio, reciting a prayer to the Earth Mother.

[Dram]

Kitchi puts down Tabia and races towards the snale trying to recover his tomahawk.



What do i need to roll?

[GreyWolfVT]

To Grog:

So does Tabai have a reaction to make this time or has he indeed collapsed?

[Grognardsw]

- Kitchi's tomahawk hit. It may still be in the snake. You can roll percentile. 1-60 it fell out as it left the room.

- Tabai made his saves so he overcame the poison. Or maybe enough didn't make it in. Or his gods are watching over him.

Azoth Al-Aziz, occultic priest:

Too angry to speak, the dark cleric calls upon the apathy of Nodens to try to calm himself.

If his otherworldly sight abides, he will open the nearest door to search for traps in the adjacent room.

To confirm, the southernmost double doors are what Azoth is looking at?

[Dram]

Kitchi- Cautiously goes to pick up his Tomahawk. He will then go help Tabia.


Tomahawk roll
% roll[1d100] = 1

[Inferno]

Whichever unopened door is closest to the largest amount of party members.
This Find Traps spell has a limited duration, so he wants to maximize its use, especially since we just lost our thieves.
When the spell expires, then he'll help tend to our dead.

[OGRE MAGE]

Si looks to the others as the body count continues to rise.

Do your ritrituals so we can keep moving. We will all end up like these poor souls if we can't figure out a way through this death maze.

While the others say their goodbyes, Siavel renters the snake room and commands his Porter to take a look down the hole.

[GreyWolfVT]

Tabai thanks Kitchi and uses his spear as a staff for the moment.

[Dram]

Kitchi seeing that Tabia is able to move himself with the help of his spear. He will go end help tend to the dead party members. Let us find a place to hold up and let the wounded heal possibly let our spell user regain some spells. Azoth we will be in need of your trap finding spell now.

[Mant72]

Calto the Druid:

Calto finishes saying his words over the dead, knowing that they now are in the embrace of the Earth Mother. He then turns to his companions questioningly, "Three companions lost..., where do you propose we journey from this point?"

[Grognardsw]

The party gathers the dead at the south door and last rites are observed. Azoth of Noden Faith peers through the south door to the corridor beyond, which ends in double doors. His divine vision which detects earthy dangers of manufactured design sees no threat at these double doors.

Azoth recalls that the west door and its corridor ending in double doors also held no trap threat. The southwest door and the elaborate pit with plants within hold obvious threat.

Map

The Find Traps duration is 5 Turns, or 50 rounds. There are 30 rounds left.

[Inferno]

Azoth Al-Aziz, occultic priest:

Azoth turned his baleful red eyes upon Kitchi, "The spell you speak of is still in effect, ranger. Let us move now with deliberateness and caution, to use it while it lasts."

The cleric opened the southernmost doors.

[Dram]

Kitchi- Looks over the bodys of his dead friends. Is there anything of any use on our friends that may help us stay alive.

[GreyWolfVT]

Tabai doesn't have much to say

"Should have known what to expect when you all entered this place."

[OGRE MAGE]

Siavel

Good thinking Kitchi! They won't be needing their possessions where they are going!

The elf has no qualms whatsoever about going through the packs and clothing of the dead. He looks for anything of theirs that might still be of use to the mission.

He then follows Azoth as he checks the doors.
