Re: House Min'Doan
Several of the enchantments detected underwater were located in the middle of the water, likely at the bottom. Sudden splashing disturbed the water as half a dozen grey tentacles shot from the surface at the center and whipped out at the drow brothers!

Its a surprise attack, neither spotted it. Initiative will determine if you are also flat footed or not for the tentacles attack, then we go in order after those results.
The quasit suddenly appeared, floating motionless just below the shaft, seemingly staring directly up. There were several underworld creatures that Lomni knew could create such a shaft, elementals and beholders first among them to occur, though certainly others existed.

Re: House Min'Doan
"Bring Zif to us!" Lomni yelled at the Quasit as he tried to dodge tentacles.
SpoilerI'm awaiting the attack results - I'm assuming that any hits by the tentacles will result in a possible grapple, which would cause problems with any attempts to draw weapons. I never specified Lomni put his sword away, but with the description of the tunnel trek, he pretty much would have had to....

Uhm, he could have his weapons in hand, and likely still would. No reason to put them away, the description gave no restriction to prevent moving with weapons in hand, its a tight squeeze for the giants, not the row.
Still need initiative to resolve the surprise attacks...

Re: House Min'Doan
The quasit floated in midair, either unable or unwilling to respond to the drow's command.
A pair of tentacles grabbed each drow and sought to drag them into the water. The mere touch of the ropey tentacles threatened to sap their strength.
Lomni 30 & 19 hit , 13 miss
Xinth 22 & 29 hit, 13 miss
need a rolls for each hit:
Fort save DC 18 or 2d8 str dmg
Lomni (4d8)[2][5][3][6](16)
Xinth (4d8)[6][3][7][3](19)
DC 23 Escape Artist check or a DC 19 Strength check to break free
hmmm I suppose the strength check would be affected by the result of the fort save

Re: House Min'Doan
Lomni attacked the closest tentacle. What was that stupid quasit doing? He moved back towards the pathway back the way he came. He knew coming around this far was a mistake, but he had done it anyway on Xinth's bidding...
[5 foot step back towards the way he came]
Attack 1: (1d20+13)[24]
Damage 1: (1d10+8)[10]
Corrosive damage 1: (1d6)[2]
Attack 2: (1d20+13)[19]
Damage 2: (1d10+8)[13]
Corrosive damage 2: (1d6)[2]
Ok - I messed up the dice code (damned beer) - feel free to keep the previous corrosive rolls...

Re: House Min'Doan
Xinth rolls back away from the tentacles, drawing his rapier as he goes, and begins softly yelling out a cry extolling the glories of house Min'Doan, spurring himself and Lomni on.

Re: House Min'Doan
Uhm, first roll was natural 11, not a critical threat. Maybe there was another post with rolls?
Lomni chopped up the tentacle holding his brother, then stepped cautiously back..
Xinth tumbled away, back toward the tunnel, and began his dread song of hate. Whether it had any effect on the creature underwater was unknown.
A trio of tentacles splashed out of the water to join the remaining three, squirming and lashing out to grasp at the elusive drow. This time all but one strand hit, gripping tightly and threatening to pull them into the water.
Lomni RTA 30 (miss displacement), 25, 23 all hit
1 save, 1 fail = 12 str dmg
Xinth RTA 24, 16, 21 all hit
all fail = 39 str dmg = helpless
OOCSpoilerEach hit requires Fort save DC 18 (Lomni x2, Xinth x3)
Escape Artist DC 23 or Str chk DC 18 to escape each one, or you can attack (its sunder w/o AoO)
Knowledge Arcana (DC 20) to know more about what it is.

Re: House Min'Doan
The brothers noticed a sudden, violent motion underwater, though it was easily attributed to the monster who’s tentacles now threatened a drowning death... if not worse and more immediate.
Kirzen
Having watched the scenario unfold with clairvoyance, Kirzen had moved closer to the chamber where Lomni and Xinth battled some tentacle wielding monster. On the way into the tunnel she summoned a large water elemental under the small lake to contend with the creature.
Stopping to block the entrance, Falwirt whip in hand, the Tithe Taker glared into the chamber with a slightly disappointed and angry expression. Confident that her summoned elemental would certainly prevail, she cast a sheet of dark red flame that seared across the surface to sever the tentacles at water level before burning out.
As her brothers splashed to safety at the edge of the ledge, Kirzen scolded them with severe sarcasm, “Dawdling with monsters while we have important work will earn you more than the usual punishment for delays. I will check the the rod and wand while you collect the sword and armor, if you have the strength left. The roper will soon be dead, and all the treasure can be collected.”
She took the items and cast Restoration on Xinth, removing all strength damage. She then stepped to the water and began to cast again.
Frixal
The younger sister stepped from the shadows and lightly touched Lomni on the shoulder, easing some of the damage he had suffered, then chided sarcastically, "Best hurry, if she finishes the roper and doesn't have the weapon and armor at her feet she'll get angry."

Re: House Min'Doan
"Where'd that damned quasit go?" Lomni asked Frixal. "I told it to get Zif and it just stared up that shaft then disappeared." Without waiting for an answer - as he only intended to give his sister something else to think about - he moved towards the armor and sword, pulling out his own lesser restoration potion from one of the pockets on his belt and drinking it down.
STR restored: (1d4)[4]
STR check to pull sword out: (1d20)[5]
Edit: lol - not gonna get it with that roll, even with the other 4 points of STR restored. Puts him at 15 currently (+2). See the dice thread for additional tries.Last edited by Grodech; 2012-09-10 at 08:25 PM.

Re: House Min'Doan
Xinth groans, straightening up from his prone condition as he walks toward his sister.
"The wand appears to contain a summoning spell, and a moderately powerful one at that. The rod contains no spells, but it should enhance yours, although the divination I used on it wasn't powerful enough to determine what."My wifi is down. It should be back up by the 22nd.

Re: House Min'Doan
The water frothed with dark magic as Kirzen chanted, her whip playing over the surface in sinister twists. Bubbles burst up and the whole body of water seemed to swirl faster and faster.
Still weakened, Lomni tugged at the heavy sword a few times before freeing it from the stone. There was no sheath for the greatsword, and it would take some effort in the water to collect all the pieces of the armor.
Frixal
While Kirzen continued her assault the younger sister took the rod and wand with a nod and a dismissive wave of her hand in sign language, "Go help Lomni, and be quick about it."

Re: House Min'Doan
Lomni brought the sword over to Frixal then went back and began gathering pieces of armor, careful to avoid anything moving in the water. He didn't want to get near Kirzen and her whip.

Re: House Min'Doan
Kirzen
More dark magic and thrashing mingled underwater while the brothers collected the armor. Once an emaciated tentacle lashed out to strike Xinth, but fell feebly back without any real affect.
By the time all the armor pieces had been collected (full plate) the violence underwater ceased. As the last service to its summoner, the elemental delivered the treasure the creature had on its body to the Tithe Taker. Her riding lizard arrived, as if summoned, which it likely was, and she mounted it to ride up the wall to the ceiling and across to check out the shaft.
“Frixal, take the rest of the treasure and return to the main chamber. Send a pair of warriors in here immediately.”
Frixal
The younger sister nodded solemnly and escorted her brothers out. After rejoining the main caravan and sending in a pair of warriors to join Kirzen, she began checking out items...
- Xinth black metal wand (Summon Monster IV - 23 cgs)
- Frixal rod of finely carved bone with large ruby set in one end (lesser metamagic quicken)
- Lomni +4 greatsword (Keen, Speed, Giant & Undead Bane) of shiny metal with gems in pommel
- Full plate +5 (Invulnerability, Etherealness)
When Kirzen returned, Frixal identified what was found in the water or on the roper!
- Zif Luckblade (1 wish)
- Kirzen Necklace of Fireball Type VII
- Pearl of Sirines (Roper)
- Ring of Greater Fire Resistance (Roper)
- Ring of Protection +3 (Roper)
The total money is (each brother will get some share later):
2500 pp
10,000 gp
2000 sp
Gems/minerals total 13,000
Kirzen
Somewhat unusual for her, the elder sister addressed her brothers and sister in friendly tone, “Of what we found, what item would you choose for yourself?”
Frixal
The female spoke up boldly first, “I want the quicken rod!”
Zif
Though he typically waited for his elder brothers to speak first, particularly when they were all in the presence of elder sisters, the Master Illusionist spoke immediately after Frixal, “I rather like that wand of monster summoning.” He smiled and shrugged as he looked at his brothers.

Re: House Min'Doan
As they moved out into the main chamber, Lomni said to Frixal "I don't suppose you have any more of those restoration spells handy..."
The armor was too heavy and bulky for Lomni's capabilities. The big shiny sword caught the assassin's eye, however. "I would choose the greatsword, if the choices were limited to one." Lomni said. The fire resistance ring and the pearl also held some interest for him.

Re: House Min'Doan
Frixal grinned wickedly and chided, "What's wrong little brother, being weaker than normal bothering you that much?" She laughed arrogantly and added, "Weak males are nothing new, and this helps remind you of proper caution. I can spare no more of my precious magic to comfort you."
Kirzen handed the rod to Frixal and the wand to Zif, then smiled as she nodded to Lomni and handed him the sword, "Then your first choice is granted, and we shall see about the rest. Might be a bit of a burden to carry without a scabbard, so we shall see ab out making one, if you cannot."
She raised an eyebrow as she put on the Necklace, then held up the ring and looked at Xinth with a slightly scornful smile, "Are you sure the protective ring is your first choice? If so, it is yours."

Re: House Min'Doan
"Well, I wanted the wand, but it appears that it is already claimed, so the fire ring is my next choice, yes," Xinth says, taking the ring and donning it.
