Tomb of Horrors Group A (IC)

[UglyPanda]

OOC: I forgot this stuff.

Rend damage: (2d8+20)[32]

AoO Attack: (1d20+20)[38]
AoO Damage: (2d8+10)[18]

[UglyPanda]

The creature's claws tear into Erica. The first two strikes missing by inches, but the third makes its mark. The fourth claw drives deep into her stomach and with the aide of another claw, tears her apart, leaving a deep gash in her stomach.

It moves its horn towards her collapsed body, missing it. Yet that wasn't its aim. As a final injustice, it sinks its fangs into the gash in her body, taking a bite out of her and swallowing it whole. It proudly stands straight and extends its wings GRAAAAAAGH!

ERIKA IS NOW DEAD

OOC: Critical too.

Confirm critical: (1d20+20)[38]
Damage: (2d8+10)[20]

[fendrin]

Aduro (Round 5)

Seeing his companion be viciously torn apart and eaten, Aduro is rather sickened.
"Erika!"
He mercilessly strikes at the monster's back.

Cory

Boccob help us... Seeing his companion fall is more then enough reason for him to attack it again, this time choosing a spell that won't miss.

Magic Missle at the monster: (5d4+5)[14]

[UglyPanda]

The magic bolts strike true and the flames singe the beasts back. Rather than continuing to fight, it moves away from you, through the door, and closes it shut.

OOC: 5d4? Isn't your caster level 7 and it should be 4d4?

Round 5

"Erik-" The invisible halfling screams out, stifling himself too late, but the beast runs into the next room, so Torlo runs over to Cory and casts blur on him as well. "Quick, lets go after it before it can heal itself, I've given us what I can to help us, but when we go in I shall sing us a song to mourn Erika."

[fendrin]

Aduro (Round 6)

"Torlo, open the door but stand clear."

Spoiler

Show

Delay action until the door has been opened.

[Orran]

Torlo moves over to a 5ft square to either side of the door and opens it, if nothing jumps out to kill him he will start inspiring courage (+ 2 to attack, damage, and saves against fear and charm effects)

[Quxelopqr]

((OOC-Whoops, that is correct. Take (d4+1)[4] off then.))

Cory

"Thanks Torlo." Cory prepares to blast whatever's in the room.

[UglyPanda]

The door opens away from you, and Torlo is having some trouble opening the door. A lot of trouble in fact. The creature appears to be pushing it shut from his end. The door stays shut.

OOC: You should revise your actions. Orran can make a strength check if it makes him feel better.

[Orran]

Ill forgoe the str check, and of course wasn't singing. "Well I can get us in there, but it will get to hit us before we do anything, such is how teleportation works, are you up for it?"

[UglyPanda]

Death's waiting room:

The last thing you remember were the claws sinking into your stomach in the middle of a dark dungeon. You find yourself in the middle of a gray desert, very hot and devoid of life. You look down at your stomach and see its perfectly fine.

"We don't keep you like you were when you kicked it, it tends to cause too many people to puke. Of course, you no longer have anything to puke out of."

[lawful_evil]

Erika

Eh? This doesn't look like Hell. Where are the flames and the pitchforks? Didn't I follow the rule strictly enough? Why don't I get to go to Hell?!?! This had better not be the Happy Hunting Grounds..... That voice.... who was that? Wee Jas?

[UglyPanda]

Death's waiting room:
"HAHAHAHAHA! Pitchforks! What the hell did they teach you in missionary school?" As you look towards where the voice comes from, you see a figure that looks unmistakably like the guide who led you into the tomb.
"Don't worry, I'm not her. I just chose a form that you would most likely want to strangle. Hell may not be like you think, but this still isn't it. This is just a place where your soul gets to rest until you get to come back. That tomb is directly connected to here."

[fendrin]

Aduro (round 6, part 2)

"If we teleport over there it can just run to this side of the door and hold it shut again. No, it's time to make some music."

He then proceeds to try to burn down the door.

Details to follow once I know the answer to my question on the OOC thread.

[lawful_evil]

Erika

Obviously you are not a god or you wouldn't have asked such a stupid question. I can't believe I'm stuck in the afterlife with a moron... I mean.. do I look like I spent time in any missionary? I stole the holy symbol and sorta fell into the whole priest thing kind of sideways.

Pausing and looking around the nice desert landscape Erika wishes she could sigh. Relax my soul until I go back? So.. where's my hot bath and scented oils? Perhaps a handsome slave to massage my feet?

[Quxelopqr]

Cory will go along with whatever plan is needed.

[UglyPanda]

Death's waiting room
"Don't you know what a joke is? Or a figure of speech? Life on the street ain't an excuse for a head full of fluff. And of course I'm not a god. A god wouldn't listen to your crap even if he had a pound of pure baccaran. If you'd like, I could expedite your return. It'll cost you though."

[lawful_evil]

Erika

Ah HA! See.. I got that one. Are you crazy? I don't want to go back till after those clowns have finished off that freaky four armed lawn ornament. I'm content to be a little dust in the wind for now.

[Orran]

While the door is burning Torlo offers the others some healing. "I can't do much healing but I'll give what I can if you need it. We don't want anyone to die like Erika did."

[fendrin]

Aduro

Repeatedly smacking the door with his flaming hands, Aduro looks over his shoulder and responds to the offer of healing.
"No thanks, I'm good."

[UglyPanda]

Aduro's fists hit the door repeatedly. He notices that the door isn't being held back with very much force. Thirty seconds later, the door is aflame and the top half completely broken off. It is then that he notices what is being used to keep the door closed. The creature propped Erika's body in front of the door in a bizarre position in order to keep it closed.

[Quxelopqr]

Cory

"Terrible..." If there's time (as in, they don't see the gargoyle), Cory will place Erika's body on the ground and administer a form of last rites on her. When he's finished he looks up to the rest of the group. "Where'd that thing go?"

[Orran]

Well it has to be through there somewhere, but what if it's waiting to jump out at us?

[UglyPanda]

The door is now wrecked. You see that Erika's blood-stained body was dragged from where she died, and the walls are covered in thick streaks of blood. It's possible the creature was wiping its hands. Looking straight ahead, you do not see the creature. Does anyone wish to step inside?

[Orran]

Torlo will not merely step inside, he will dive inside and roll like the little gymnast his mother wanted him to be, hoping to avoid being butchered by big nasty claws.

Tumble (1d20+13)[32]

[fendrin]

Aduro

Aduro mutters about mess-making monsters, and summons forth his flame whip, then enflames in further before cautiously walking into the room holding his still flaming left hand high to shed maximum light.

Spoiler

Show

Fire Lash + Weapon Afire, then go in. For the sake of timing, that's 2 standard actions before moving.

[Quxelopqr]

Cory

Cory hangs back, not allowing his feelings to rush himself into certain doom. He'll wait for the others to go in before following.

[UglyPanda]

OOC: Who is going in first? Or are you going to play rock-paper-scissors in-character?

[Orran]

OOC: I thought it was fairly obvious Torlo is going first, what with the tumble roll and everything.
