[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Here is where I have everyone after Jenks went into the cell room, any changes, let me know:

[Mondego]

Teladrin follows the dog, his bow ready.

[Starbeard]

Arn, who seems to always be putting his foot in it, stutters a mumbled apology to the captive elf. Gathering his wits, he continues charging down the hall after the canine's lead, sword and shield at the ready.

[Cauchy]

Cayley

Cayley pauses to drink her potion of healing before following the group. "Let's go boys!"
_______________
Potion: 2d4+2: [2d4+2] = 5+2 = 7, was down 5 from the dire weasel, so now back to full hp.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Map Update: Let me know if it needs changed.
The Party is at the Door the Girl Mentioned, its' the north one:

Fine with me, Last post had Elusevs rolls to knock down the door the princess mentioned was holding the egg, those still valid or do you want me to roll again?

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Ah, yes, I see the post, the regular 1d6 roll for knocking down a door was not successful with a 6 rolled !

The module does not state a different roll like a strength one for the door so i will stick with the 1d6 roll made.

That said Elusev made a loud bang on slamming against the door to no avail, definitely alerting anyone inside (door opens inward from appearances).

Mugg the Dwarf says,

"Doesn't anyone know how to use a door handle anymore?! (Sighs)"

[MonkeyWrench]

But Mugg! The rule of Cool!

Elusev, seeing that the door did not do as he wanted, attempted to hastily open the door using the handle, using the door as a shield for any projectiles. Once the door is open Elusev will take aim and fire at any enemies present, priority on any kobolds attempting to destroy the egg.

Long Bow(Specialized), To Hit:[1d20+4] = 1+4 = 5, Damage: S/M[1d6+1] = 5+1 = 6, L[1d6+1] = 2+1 = 3

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Elusev opens the door, initially using it as a shield, as the door opens slowly inward, at first, he momentarily spots a kobold to the right, behind what looks like a pew.

That Kobold fired a bolt, as you heard a 'Thunk' hit the door!

Elusev then kicks the door fully open spotting 2 more Kobold behind pews, including a big burly one.

He also spots two robe wearing figures at an altar with a blood soaked egg-shaped object in a bowl.

One of those robe wearing figures has a ritualistic looking hammer & is posed ready to strike the egg-shaped object.

The other robe wearing figure is chanting & making blessing signs towards the egg-shaped object as he brushes more blood onto it.

Elusev fires an arrow at the Robe wearing Kobold with the ritualistic looking hammer but it missed the figure !

Critical Fumble Result (Elusev rolled a natural 1): [1d100] = 46 : Lose Grip on Weapon !
I need a Dexterity check (1D20) or Elusev can not use his bow next turn !

2 more bolts came flying at Elusev as this all happened from the other 2 Kobolds in the behind the pews.

Bolt #1: [1d20] = 16 : This is a Miss !
Bolt #2: [1d20] = 10 : This is a Miss !

Smoke the Cooshee will lunge towards the Kobold on the right hand side going in.

Player Map [Let me know everyone is where they want to be + if The Doctor will utilize his 'Sleep' Spell here]:

Dexterity Check(17): [1d20] = 11

Elusev, having done too many actions all at once, fumbles his bow but is able to catch it before it falls from his hand. Once control over his weapon is regained Elusev will fire another arrow at the hammer wielding Kobold.

Long Bow(Specialized), To Hit:[1d20+4] = 1+4 = 5, Damage: S/M[1d6+1] = 1+1 = 2, L[1d6+1] = 5+1 = 6

Hahahahaha What.

[NeoPlasmaVice]

With rolls like these we might as well drop the egg while carrying it, lol.

[Cauchy]

Cayley

Assuming Cayley can get through the door, she will enter and move to the left to allow others to enter. She will keep her back to the wall and launch a sling bullet at the one wielding the hammer. "For Caer Brennau!"

Attack: 1d20 = [1d20] = 8
Damage: Perhaps another time.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

yea, I need a general idea of how you are all going to fan through the door & where you are headed & aiming at, hoping to melee with etc.

Then I will update the map & get the 1st round of melee combat going.

[Cwreando]

The doctor will wait his turn to file into the room and assess the situation.

[saalaria]

Once the fighters and cleric have gone in, Jenks will dive into the room, behind a pew to the left.

[DadsAngry]

Tuireann will enter the room in order and head for the egg at the alter and engage the Kobalt on the right of it.

[Starbeard]

What a typical way to start the combat in this adventure!

Arn rushes in and to the right. He engages the goblin in the pews so that Tuireann can have a clear approach to the altar.

Long sword: [1d20+1] = 13+1 = 14; Damage (s/m): [1d8+1] = 6+1 = 7, (l): [1d12+1] = 5+1 = 6

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Elusev's 2nd Critical Miss Result: [1d100] = 30: This is a Stumble, roll Elusev's Dexterity or less or you are Stunned for 1d6= [1d6] = 3 turns !

Updated Map of what I have so far, with tuireann running around the pews to the right side of the altar where the ritual hammer bearer is:

I would suggest Teladrin providing cover fire, so the fighters can filter into the room.

I have Oddgar heading for the Kobold on the left, while Mugg & Hemlocks head for the Robed Kobold on the left side of the altar, (the one chanting & brushing blood on the Egg shaped object)

There is the Big Burly Kobold in the center to deal with as well.

Player Map: (Again Let me know of changes):

Once the doctor gets to the door and sees things he begins casting sleep and will target the two kobolds by the egg in a way that only they are in the spells area of effect or at least the one who looks like he might be trying to hit it. He'll use the pews as cover as he moves in for added protection. He says in code so the others know he's casting sleep near the alter, "Alter night night."

[NeoPlasmaVice]

I'll probably end up smashing the egg with my luck if I target the robed kobolds. So I want to target the kobolds on the front. What should I roll to use my spear arm attack? Also, can I throw any spears while having tied spears to my arm?
