[3.5] Ryclend Deephold

[Gryndel]

Roderick and Drynch failed to notice the grey ooze as part of a pair each seemed to drip down from its spot along the ceiling and grab at them.

The dwarf was taken off guard completely as failed to escape the pod of ooze that wrapped around him, squeezing and causing caustic damage simultaneously.

Auto hit 8 dmg +2 Acid
Grapple 22 vs 21 = Constrict 7 dmg +1 Acid
Failed Reflex save

Roderick avoided the destructive grapple of the ooze, and his equipment was spared vitriolic obliteration... for now.

Auto hit 2 dmg +1 Acid

All attempts to burn (or freeze) the ooze proved futile; Immune to Cold & Fire

Though they seemed to ignore all attacks, every weapon not made of stone that struck was subject to destruction from the caustic nature of the creatures. All weapons of metal or wood that strike the ooze need a reflex save (DC16)

Carn [23] ignited his blades and dashed into action, slashing into the nearest ooze with fiery fierce strokes. Though the fire did no harm, his blade survived the acidic ooze and cut it deeply.

25 hit 10 dmg
7 hit 14 dmg

Roderick [20] moved back and cast, aiding the group with a minor blessing.

Cast Bless (I added in +1 attack from here on...)

Victor [19] blasted the oozes with eldrich might, both attacks miraculously bouncing from the primary target to strike the other, sizzling each with harmful energy.

RTA 24 hit OozeA 20 dmg
RTA 29 hit OozeB 13 dmg
RTA 10 hit OozeA 19 dmg

Ferdinand [15] fired a ray of flame, which struck true but did no harm whatsoever.

RTA 16 hit Immune to Fire

Rukesh [14] moved into position and struck with his axe but somehow missed.

14 miss (natural 1)

The dwarf [8] bellowed in pain and anger as his armor, clothing and weapons sizzled and dissolved in the vitriolic grip of the grey ooze. Naked and furious, he fought through the acidic anguish to call upon the divine strength his Deity blessed him with daily, struggling to escape the acidic crushing of the grappling ooze.

Halad [6] began pumping arrows into the ooze. The first brought the nearest ooze to and end while the other two sank effectively into the other.

Having no fear of the acid on himself, Rukesh however does take pause in seeing what it did to Drynch's gear. "Get back everyone!" He takes a 5 foot step back and starts loading his crossbow.

Uhmmm, its dead dude... you can keep attacking it if you want, but no real need.

[Grodech]

Uhmmm, its dead dude... you can keep attacking it if you want, but no real need.

Musta misread - I thought only the first one had been killed.

[Figment_]

Roderick looks the dwarf over.

We'll need to get you more armor, friend. Anyone have a spare?

[Grodech]

"Not armor." Rukesh says. "I have a mace he can use. Did your key survive, Drynch?"

[white rider]

"I've got a shortbow he can have," Carn pipes up. "I don't know how much good it will do him, though."

[Gryndel]

Drynch
The dwarf barely heard anything spoken by the others as he ranted and stomped at the dissipating ooze on the stairs. As the remnants of his armor disintegrated he grumpily advanced down the stairs, then suddenly bellowed and fell to his knees, "Robbed o'me crafted plate, me axe be slimed too! Silverbeard hark, grant me boons ta fight in yer name fer what divine powers ye choose, but leave me not naked or weakly armed in Ryclend."

As he prayed in dwarven a silver nimbus glowed around the war priest, slowly coalescing into plate armor. His warhammer mutated into a waraxe, his preferred weapon of choice.

With a grin at his companions he continued praying, converting another spell to cure most his wounds, "Now beware Ryclend, we be ready!"

Ferdinand

Glad to see you in one piece Dwarf. I would've hated it to tell your elders what had happened. Maybe next time anyone can tell me weaknesses or immunities, it didn't look like my ray of godly flames(Scorching Ray) had much effect on it. I would never have used that if I knew they would be useless. And the fact that they can destroy armor is also something to be wary at. But let's carry one, I think we have still a long way to go.

[Gryndel]

Drynch
The dwarf shrugged and grumbled as he advanced down the stairs, "Lets get to it."


DM
The stairs ended in an restricted (5'wide) archway that opened into a well worked stone tunnel of the same size. Just 10' beyond the arch, the tunnel turned at a right angle to the right. A black bolt shot from the corner as Drynch stepped into view, but shattered harmlessly against the thick dwarven armor.

(Flat footed)23 miss

Drynch
"Ahh blast, be it a trap? Maybe an ambush!" Either way, the dwarf simply yelled to alert the others as he moved forward cautiously, axe and shield ready for battle.

Though it was too dark to make out the details, all but Drynch spotted a small humanoid as it fled away. Rukesh was fairly certain it was a goblin. Roderick briefly detected evil, though what he sensed soon moved from the area. Even over the movement and voices of his companions, Rukesh heard the sound of a small creature in boots moving away around the corner.

As the group moved cautiously forward they discovered another right turn that led into a long hallway. The dwarf boldly marched forward around the corners and into the long hall, daring another attack, ambush, or trap to hinder his advance.

"Goblin." Rukesh said. He puts his axe away and gets out his crossbow as he moves up behind Drynch. He wanted to be able to get a shot at the bugger over Drynch's head if the opportunity presented itself. "If there's one, there's probably more."

Halad

The elf nocked an arrow and moved up with the group, scanning for an enemy to shoot. Ryn kept close behind her master, while Craban peered over Halad's shoulder from the safety of his pack.

[Figment_]

Allowing his companions past, Roderick moves to the rear of the group. Knowing goblins are ambush hunters, he takes up rearguard, watching the way they came.
