Test Of Spite Dungeon Direct, Special edition [3.5]

[Saph]

Okay, we'll go with that. Giant dwarf materialises in squares J8-K8-J9-K9. Initiative order from now on will be:

Gladiator: 21
Jaya: 19
OpFor: 14
Tina: 12

Giant dwarf's action to follow.

[mostlyharmful]

Thunk. ow
Thunk. ow

dammit Binkie! you know spattered crimson doesn't go with your saphires!

[Pharaoh's Fist]

Twitch twitch.

Someone needs to gag that girl.

[Saph]

Gladiator appears immediately after Tina, just in time to see her get hit by an arrow. Since he's within range of the southern ugly green thing, he tries to hit it and bounces comically off the wall of force between him and it. Assuming Jaya is nice and calls out to him the wall's location, he moves around it and tries to trip the ugly green thing.

Melee touch: (1d20+16)[35]
Strength roll: (1d20+15)[19]
Follow-up attack: (1d20+20)[24]
Damage: (3d6+7)[13]

Opposed roll from ugly green thing: (1d20+5)[17]

[Saph]

Gladiator knocks the second ugly green thing down and follows up by bruising it slightly with a punch.

Jaya's turn.

[Doc Roc]

The fall will not hurt him, for a variety of reasons that he might roll to notice on the way down.

The shaft's gravity is much lower than it should be, but it never came up in the other trials. The dungeon uses altered planar traits pretty extensively :)

Are you using the dread blossoms or waiting until everyone is here?

Eh, since portals don't conserve momentum it probably doesn't matter too much. They're not going to be hurt either way - not from the fall at least.

[Pharaoh's Fist]

Cast Mirror Image on myself. End Turn.

Random targeting roll. 1-4 is Gladiator, 5-6 is Tina. (1d6)[3]

[Saph]

OpFor turn.

A patch of flowers that had been blending in to the scenery to the north suddenly fly into the air and head straight towards Gladiator. The flowers are large and red, speckled with gold and black, and smell of rotting flesh.

Jaya (Other PCs, do NOT read)

Spoiler

Show

The flowers are called Dread Blossoms. They exude poison in an airborne cloud, drain blood, and regenerate. Best killed using fire.

Gladiator gets an AoO as they fly in. Attack: (1d20+16)[30]
Damage: (3d6+7)[21]

The flowers move into Gladiator's square. He takes (2d6)[8] damage as thorns puncture his flesh, and has to make a Fort save.

(1d20+13)[26]

Next up, the ugly green things. The ugly green thing that had just been knocked over stares angrily at Gladiator, and concentrates.

(1d6)[4]

[Saph]

Four small ugly hairless blubbery things with pale sickly flesh pop into existence around Gladiator, flanking him. They proceed to start trying to claw him into ribbons. Attacks vs AC 21.

Claw: (1d20+6)[25] for (1d6+1)[6] damage
Claw: (1d20+6)[25] for (1d6+1)[4] damage

Claw: (1d20+6)[8] for (1d6+1)[3] damage

Ugly green thing gets up. AoO from Gladiator:

The northern ugly green thing full attacks Tina, shooting four arrows at her.

Regular attacks vs flat-footed AC. I'll tell you if they're ever touch attacks.

Gladiator's taken 21 damage. Tina's turn.

[Pharaoh's Fist]

"Ok, Spartacus, GET YOUR ARSE OVER HERE!" Jaya advises, as she prepares to cast a spell on the blossoms.

[Saph]

Round 3.

Spartacus jumps over the northern ugly blubbery things and runs over to I6-J6-I7-J7. Jump check: (1d20+28)[46]

Withdraw action, but still takes a few AoOs from the blubbery things on his way out:

(1d20+4)[13] (1d6+1)[2]
(1d20+4)[7] (1d6+1)[7]
(1d20+4)[21] (1d6+1)[7]

Jaya's turn.

[Pharaoh's Fist]

Wall of Force from L1 to L9. I beleive this seals us off.

[Saph]

It does indeed, for the moment.

It's the early hours of the morning over here, so I need to get some sleep. I'll try to post the OpFor turn tomorrow before catching my train.

Oh, and don't forget to roll your Mirror Image.

[Doc Roc]

+1 cookie to Saph
Thank you again for doing this.

I would give Saph a cookie, but her browser does not accept them.

[Pharaoh's Fist]

K. Nature to know more about these flowers, such as how they are attracted to their targets: (1d20+22)[28]

[Saph]

No problem. Glad you're enjoying it. :)

Jaya

Spoiler

Show

As far as you know, they have no special modes of detection. They just try to kill anything edible they see. This would be backed up by the evidence that they didn't immediately attack you when you appeared inside the courtyard invisible. You also know that they dislike extremes of temperature.

Roll for OpFor turn: (1d6)[1]

[Saph]

The swarm of flying flowers flies straight at Gladiator and bumps into the wall of force. It feels its way left, right, and up, however, and quickly the flowers start flying over the wall, slipping through the branches and tree cover, and flowing into Gladiator's space.

Gladiator takes another (2d6)[11] damage and has to make another Fortitude save at the beginning of his turn.

Jaya, Tina, as the flowers get close you feel your skin tingling and your limbs starting to stiffen. Fort save against airborne contact poison, DC 17. On a failure:

Spoiler

Show

Paralysed.

The northern ugly green thing concentrates and another small ugly blubbery thing pops into existence next to Jaya and Gladiator. The ugly green thing commands it to attack with a wave of its hand, then trots back a short distance, its bows ready.

Attacks on Gladiator from the ugly blubbery thing:

Claw: (1d20+4)[11] for (1d6+1)[4]
Claw: (1d20+4)[6] for (1d6+1)[7]
Bite: (1d20+2)[15] for (1d4)[1]

The southern ugly green thing halts as it sees the other creatures clawing at the invisible wall of force. It stares and suddenly the small ugly blubbery things start frantically trying to climb the trees to get over the wall and attack, with no particular concern for their own well-being.

Climb checks: (1d20+1)[6] (1d20+1)[4] (1d20+1)[5] (1d20+1)[6]

The southern ugly green thing then locks eyes malevolently onto Gladiator and waits.

Observers Only

Readied action to teleport into a firing position after Gladiator's taken his next go.

Finally, the ooze continues to push mindlessly against the wall of force, moving up and down against the vertical surface as it does so. It seems as though it's forgotten you're there.

Gladiator, you have a swarm of carnivorous flowers in your square trying to eat you again.
Tina, you're currently flying and blinking, hiding in the densest bit of tree cover you can find, 15 feet up. You can't see any monsters and they can't see you, either.
Jaya, you're still invisible.

Don't forget the Fort saves, everyone.

Tina's turn.

[Pharaoh's Fist]

Fort save: (1d20+9)[22]

[Pharaoh's Fist]

"Should have brought the antihistamines," Jaya groans, as the pollen clogs her nasal passages.

[Saph]

Oh, one more OOC note:

You can take your turns in whatever order you like. This represents the delay action, but is mostly there to speed up combat so that we spend less time waiting. Basically, the monsters take their turn, then all three of you take your turns whenever you come online.

[Pharaoh's Fist]

Cast Persistent Image, imitating Cloudkill. Sickly green vapors and all.

I4-I9
J4-J9

G6-G8
H6-H8

Oh, and I can make it smell too. It smells of mustard gas.

I can make sounds. Sounds of screaming and dying.

DC 22 will save to recognize as an illusion if interacted with.

The AOE includes Gladiator.

"Relax," Jaya whispers to him in Dwarven, "It's an illusion. Now move far away while I flashfreeze this thing."

Move to J4 and end my turn.
