Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
As Cal reads the description, he looks at the chair as he yawns, thinking it looks lovely to sit in.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Cal casually walks over and sits in one of the chairs.
Spoiler: CalCal takes (1d4)[1] slashing/piercing damage from the chair's cruel edges/spikes, and suddenly has no idea why he felt the urge to sit down.
From seemingly nowhere a raven materializes on one of the horns of the brazen bull and speaks in a shrill voice, "Greetings fine citizens of our glorious empire! So good to have visitors, though I fear I have no refreshments to offer. I assume you are here for the treasure. Well, I'll be happy to assist, provided you give me what I require. It's been so long since I was able to ply my trade. I require only that each of you shed your life's blood in this room - simply take a seat in one of my lovely chairs."

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Cal, walking over to the seat, pops right back up as if hit with a stick by an ogre. "Talum's Beard!" he exclaims as he gingerly touches his rear.
As the raven appears and speaks, he jumps again, swinging his morningstar about until he realizes its a bird. Listening, he becomes instantly suspicious. "And, what would your name be, fair speaker, so we can converse? I am Cal." he says as he sketches a small bow. "Ah, a refreshment would have been most welcome but I will live without it.
You seem a fair host and there is not begrudgement for lack of such on my part."

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Jheren stares in amazement as Cal just goes to sit down, and then jumps up again. When the raven appears and speaks he instinctively aims his bow at it, but lowers it once the bird doesn't seem immediately hostile. "Why?", he asks the raven in a suspicious tone, "What you want with blood?"

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
The raven puffs and ruffles it feathers, "My name is....Gopas. Yes, yes, my vic... friends call me Gopas."
Hopping along the brazen bull's back, it tilts its head at Jheren, "Blood....yes, yes, what do I want with blood? Fair question, fair question....*cackles*....Me and my master get to ask the questions though!" In a flurry of motion, the raven launches itself across the room to land upon skeletal remains occupying one of the torturous chairs, "What say you master? It pecks at the skull a couple of times, "The master says you look weary and should have a seat in one of our comfortable chairs."
Spoiler: Sense Motive and DiplomacyThe mysterious raven remains just that....mysterious, yet its tone seems both curious and oddly chipper.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
The raven watches Jheren's movements intently, then pecks at the skeleton's skull a couple of times dislodging it completely so that it falls to the floor with a *clack* and rolls a few feet away. Suddenly unbalanced, the rest of the skeleton slowly slumps the other way, sliding from the chair into a heap on the floor.
Turning back to Jheren with a strange glint in its bead, black eyes it cackles, "Always a generous host, the master offers you his chair. Please sit and rest your weary selves."

Cal looks at the others, hiding his skepticism behind a smile. "While the offer is appreciated, we are well rested and are looking for a friend who may be lost. Unless you can help, I think we'll be on our way."

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Once the raven disappears, Cal looks around while Aerlya asks her question.
Rubbing his rear a bit, he takes one more look around for the raven before answering. "Yeah, I suppose. Could have been worse, I suppose, though I don't want to find out how much worse. Come on, lets get out of here and check what's beyond that door, ok?" as he moves forward and listens at the door, knowing full well any chance of surprise evaporated a long time ago.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Spoiler: SpoilerNope, not a door, that's where the plague was hanging on the wall, but we're just going to work with it.
As Cal approaches the plaque he spots the outline of hidden door on the westward wall. A split second later a hideous screech erupts just over his shoulder as a tiny winged and horned creature whips it's tail at the back of Cal's neck, "No! You will not take the treasure!"
The stinger leaves a gash across Cal's neck.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
As Cal digs around, he misses the door opening as the demonic creature hurls itself at him.
When the tail digs into his neck, he lets out a curse. "Damned you!" as he swings at it with his morning star.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Well, I can fight that. Aerlya moves so that she can see the creature, and a beam of golden fire lances from her hand toward it.
SpoilerOn the one hand, it's in melee. On the other hand, due to the nature of Aerlya's weapon, she's not at all concerned about striking Cal. Rolling on the assumption that the letter of the rules holds here and so she still gets the -4 penalty to hit:
Ranged touch: (1d20-1)[10] Critical threat check: (1d20-1)[2] Damage, assuming the imp is evil, or healing if the ray somehow strikes a good creature: (1d4)[1] Critical damage: (1d4)[1]Orth Plays: Currently Baldur's Gate II

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Cal whirls on the tiny devil, and connects with his morningstar, but the foul creature seems entirely unaffected. Moments later Aerlya's bolt of holy fire streaks across the room striking Cal, but appears to have no affect.
Spoiler: NotesThere was no door there razor, my apologies if the map was confusing....that was where the plague was hanging. Approaching from this direction, however, allowed Cal to make out the not-so-hidden door on the near wall.
Sensing that the secret was out, Gopas attacked(and he's clearly not a raven).
Kish - I'm glad you stated that the way you did. It makes total sense to me that, in such a circumstance you wouldn't necessarily suffer a -4 on the attack. The attack missed but is enough hit Cal, who if I'm reading correctly is neither harmed nor healed because of his neutral alignment.
If either of you decide you want Barnibus in the fight, feel free to post while we wait for CWater to wrap up exams.

"Bastard!", Jheren shouts at the creature that stabbed Cal in the back and aims an arrow at it. "Barnibus, help Cal!"

Would like Barnibus to move past Jheren to R27 and attack the imp. Or to S27 if moving to R would trigger an AoO.Last edited by CWater; 2018-12-14 at 02:55 AM.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Jheren's arrow flies true, striking the tiny, horned devil but somehow fails to penetrate the creature's leathery skin.
Barnibus lifts Betty, "Ay! Comin' fer ya, ya little bastard!" He maneuvers around the ancient torture devices, and launches a two-handed swing at the imp that connects....solidly. The old man, however, looks at the beast then Betty somewhat perplexed, thinking such a hit should have killed the thing, "Why, you little shi..." His words are cut off as the wounded creature turns and whips its tail directly at the warriors eyes.
Spoiler: Perception Check 8Sure looks like this thing has some kind of natural defenses; it's not nearly as wounded as it should be from those hits
Spoiler: Knowledge(Planes) 12You're fighting an Imp, that has DR that can be overcome with silver or good aligned weapons

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Jheren starts to panic after seeing the creature unfazed by their attacks even when they hit solidly.
"Can that thing be killed?!", he cries while firing another arrow.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Jheren's second arrow connects, but again the tiny devil seems unaffected. Cal's swing goes wide of it's mark as the imp harries Barnibus.
"Hold still ya damnable critter!"
The massive hammer takes the imp directly across the back and wings. It flaps its wings wildly trying to stay aloft, now discernibly injured.
