Expedition - Markd/On A Mission From Baudh - 08 May 2021

[Alethan]

Bandy Sandybanks

Bandy tries to assess how quickly the green slime can move. He would obviously rather pour the oil onto the slime and try to burn it that way, but if there is a chance of the thing attacking him, then he'll toss it from a distance instead.

[Marullus]

It appears to be moving very incrementally - even 5' away makes you feel pretty secure. However, melee distance is melee distance and ranged is ranged.

[Alethan]

Bandy Sandybanks

Bandy throws the oil at the green slime.

Thrown oil [1d20+3] = 6+3 = 9
Normal +2 ranged bonus and +1 for short range. Not that it does much good, although maybe there is splash factor?

[Rusty Tincanne]

Captain Bremen snorts at the poor attempt and then tosses his own oil.

Throwing oil [1d20+2] = 7+2 = 9 (+1 for short range).

That didn't hit? I thought you said it was over there!

[Alethan]

Bandy Sandybanks

Bandy snorts. "You threw your oil at something you couldn't see? Are there any large stones about we could throw on it? Or anyone have a sling with stones? It doesn't seem to be able to dissolve stone, so maybe that would hurt it."

[Marullus]

Actually, it's armor class is listed as "NA. No roll needed." Just give me damage rolls and how you light it the oil.

[Rusty Tincanne]

Desperate to save face, Tell you what. Why don't you stand a bit closer with your candle so we can all see better?


someone can use w spent torch, soak the top in oil and re light it. Then use that to ignite the oil.
Is it on the walls or ceiling?

[Alethan]

its on the floor.

Bandy takes a spent torch, pours a little oil on it to get it going again, lights it off the existing torch, then tosses some oil on the green slime and follows that up with the burning used torch.

[Marullus]

The group stands back, ensuring the slime cannot ooze towards them, and throws two oil vials and then a torch. The room flares brightly as the oil catches and then the thick green slime beneath. After two minutes, the flames die down, leaving only ash and soot to mark where the slime once was.

You find a massive chamber which extends beyond even the furthest efforts of your light, easily four times the size of any room you've been in thus far. There is a wall on your left about 20' to the right of your archway. A simple wooden door is on that wall, 20' from the corner adjacent to where you stand. You can also make out the dim outline of another doorway on your own wall, about 40' to your right. You cannot discern the walls to your right or across from you at all. The chamber itself is vaulted, arching overhead about 20' in the air, but for all that space and grandeur, it is strangely utilitarian. A circular stairway with 10' wide stone steps ascends to the center of the vaulted ceiling above, its bottom step barely discernible by your candlelight as it is about 70' from you, ahead and a little to the right. Otherwise, you see stone coffers and wooden boxes on the floor and then also engraving on the walls, which are cut and laid as stone blocks.

Time: 12 May 2021, 1:05 pm
Light source: fountain room is starlit, court room has candleabras, Bandy's candlestick (1:30pm), Bremen's torch (2:00pm)
Injuries: Irving (lightly injured) Bremen (lightly injured)

[Zhym]

Any new developments in the telenovela during this time?

[Marullus]

Nope, it was only a 5 minute clock advance as combat rounds. I'll give you more in 15 minute turns. (Please do remind me. )

[Alethan]

Bandy Sandybanks

Bandy begins examining the boxes to see what they contain.

[Zhym]

Olaf watches the show. He wishes he had popcorn.

[Keehnelf]

Irving will move, sword drawn, to a position where he can protect the others from new arrivals or something bursting from a coffer as they explore.

[onlyme]

Markd will assist Bandy,

[Marullus]

Bandy (holding his candlestick), Markd, and Irving (with sword at the ready) move towards the closest coffers - a half-dozen stone coffins with their lids already askew. They are plain boxes with only a small bit of writing - perhaps an epitaph - on the lids but without other adornment. You push open the first and find the interior stained by the oozing fluids of a human-sized body, but the body and a few grave goods buried with it are already removed. You find a small handful of silver coins scattered within but nothing else of value. You repeat this again on the second with the same results, then move to the third. As you push open the lid, you find a writhing movement, your light surprising them more than they you. Five foot-long centipedes unravel and hiss at the intrusion, beginning to crawl towards and over the sides of the box.

Please provide two rounds of action - one surprise round, then initiative/action for a second round.

Time: 12 May 2021, 1:15 pm
Light source: fountain room is starlit, court room has candleabras, Bandy's candlestick (1:30pm), Bremen's torch (2:00pm)
Injuries: Irving (lightly injured) Bremen (lightly injured)

Rolls:

[2d4] = 5 centipedes
surprise: us [1d6] = 5 them [1d6] = 1

[Rusty Tincanne]

Captain Bremen
Awed by the size of the excavated area, the Captain seems stuck in time momentarily. He starts at the hisses though and levels his crossbow, firing off a shot.

Crossbow [1d20+2] = 12+2 = 14, damage [1d6] = 1

Doesn't include any range bonus, if there is one.

[onlyme]

Markd will fire off a bullet, hoping to kill the centipedes before they get close enough to bite.
sling shot [1d20] = 10 ; dam [1d4] = 2


For round 2, if still able to use sling will do so. If in melee, will use sword instead.
Also- in LL does strength bonus work on missiles? I dont see where it doesnt. If so, he needs a plus 2 for hit and damage.

rolls for either.
sling shot [1d20] = 13 ; dam [1d4] = 4
long sword [1d20+2] = 10+2 = 12; damage [1d8+2] = 7+2 = 9

[Alethan]

OOC: As much as I enjoy ranged attacks for their safety factor, it is NOT always possible. I'm pretty sure since Bandy opened the create that he is within 5' and absolutely in melee range. Please keep this sort of thing in mind when firing off your ranged weapons as there is a good chance of hitting a friendly.

Unable to draw his long sword because of the candlestick, Bandy draws his dagger and stabs at the centipedes...

Surprise Round:
Dagger [1d20+1] = 3+1 = 4 Damage [1d4+1] = 2+1 = 3


Initiative:
Initiative [1d6] = 6

Melee Round 1:
Dagger [1d20+1] = 13+1 = 14 Damage [1d4+1] = 2+1 = 3

[Keehnelf]

"Stand back!" cries Irving, as he rushes forward to dispatch as many of the centipedes as he can.

Attack [1d20+2] = 20+2 = 22 to hit, [1d8+2] = 4+2 = 6 damage
