Tomb of Horrors Group Z (IC)

[leafman]

Bok

Bok returns to the main chamber, arms loaded with objects collected from the other room, rocks, books, whatever he could carry and throw easily, to find that Alexis has vanished. Bok looks befuddledly at the dormant party members and asks "Where he go?"

((OOC: what is Bok compelled to do now that his target has disappeared?))

[UglyPanda]

The unexplored tunnel is quite long and takes a while to go through.

To Bok:

Spoiler

Show

Kill him, kill him now!

[salokcin]

Alexis

Alexis continues to proceed quietly, healing himself further as he goes. If he finds an excellent hinding place (a nook on the ceiling or something), he will hide and wait to sneak attack Bok.

Spoiler

I will heal for as many rounds as I have the opportunity to, or until fully better.
"move silently" - (d20+18)[25]
"heal1" - (d8+1)[4]
"heal2" - (d8+1)[9]
"heal3" - (d8+1)[2]
If I find somewhere to hide:

To Alexis:

Spoiler

As you crawl your way through the tunnel, you end up a a dead end.

[salokcin]

Alexis

Alexis desperately gropes around in the darkness at the end of the tunnel, hoping to locate a secret door or hiding place.

Spoiler

Show

"search" - (d20+23)[29] minus whatever for searching in darkness. I don't know if I have walked by any secret doors yet, but as an elf, remember I automatically am entitled to a check.
If nothing found, then
"hide" - (d20+18)[30]
If nowhere to hide, then
"heal" - (d8+1)[2]

[leafman]

Bok
Bok throws the stuff he found wildly around the room hoping to hit an invisible Alexis. When he runs out of things to throw, he gathers up anything that was not too damaged to be thrown again and calls out to Alexis "Come out an' play! Bok wants to play!"
Bok listens for a reaction:
listen check (1d20+14)[28]

[salokcin]

Alexis

Alexis gives himself one last dose of healing and then quietly slinks back up the tunnel with his crossbow out, ready to "play" at any moment. He will try to peek out through the fake sphere and see if he has a vantage point to sneak attack Bok.

"heal" - (d8+1)[7]"move silently" - (d20+18)[25]

To Alexis:

The dead end is actually a secret door.
If you choose to open it:

Spoiler

Show

You see what appears to be some sort of temple.

Chapel accoutrements fill this chamber, including great wooden pews on either side of a central mosaic path that leads toward an altar on the far side of the room, which is separated from the pews by a wooden railing. Scenes of everyday life are painted on the walls, but all the people are portrayed with rotting flesh, skeletal hands, and worm-ridden orifices. Yet depicted amidst these disturbing portraits are various symbols of readily recognized benevolent deities.

[salokcin]

(OOC) Ohh... Change of plans!

Alexis calls back down the hallway to Bok, "Catch me if you can!" He then runs into the room, watching for enemies, and hides behind the altar, waiting to snipe Bok with his crossbow.

[leafman]

Bok

Hearing Alexis moving around and taunting him, Bok decides to dress his wounds properly before going in pursuit.

Spoiler

Show

If I am not threatened I will take 20 on heal checks and rest until I am back to full health (recovering 28 hp)

[UglyPanda]

OOC: Woo! Boards are back up! Also, Bok currently has no way of knowing where Alexis is. The only way he could find Alexis is if Alexis continued to taunt him.

[leafman]

Bok
ooc: wouldn't the previous listen check have let Bok know a general direction? if not then Bok should still have been able to hear Alexis call to him and then run away as Bok can automatically beat the listen checks from up to 40 feet away (people talking dc 0 and unarmored person walking dc 10 with +1 to the dc for every 10 feet).
I'll make the rolls for those just be fair. Alexis calling to Bok (1d20+14)[19], to hear Alexis running away (1d20+14)[31]

If Bok does succeed in hearing Alexis running away Bok will continue as planned and attempt to heal up the wound Alexis gave Bok from his crossbow.
If Bok fails he will move back into the room with the thing in the jar and block up the entrance then attempt to heal himself.

[UglyPanda]

OOC: I'm a bit confused at the moment. Just go into the tunnel and start fighting each other again. Also, don't plug up either tunnel.

[salokcin]

Alexis

(ooc) still interested, generally just waiting for merge (if it is still in plans). Alexis is not too keen on head to head confrontation here, considering what happened the last time.

Alexis sneaks up the passageway to see if Bok is still around.

"move silently" - (d20+18)[25]

[leafman]

Bok
ooc: lol and Bok wouldn't want to walk into a trap set up by an enemy rogue.

Listen Check: (1d20+14)[15]

if Bok hears Alexis, he will attempt to hide in a corner and lay in wait for an opportunity to strike.
Hide check [roll]1d20+15[/roll]

if Bok doesn't hear Alexis he will stand in the open like the dull halfwit that he appears to be.

[salokcin]

Alexis

Alexis quietly climbs on the ceiling and sneaks past Bok, back into the room with the jar. Realizing that whatever is inside probably needs to die, he attempts to knock over the jar. He then points his crossbow at the contents and fires away.

Spoiler

Show

"Strength Check" - (d20+0)[6]
"Attack" - (d20+14)[33]
"Conf Crit" - (d20+14)[32]
"damage" - (d8+1)[4]

[UglyPanda]

The jar is now floating, odd. Your bolt hits it and it sticks out of jar, with small cracks forming at the glass.

<*******! Orc, kill him!>

Grapple checks:
Touch attack: (1d20+10)[25]
Opposed check: (1d20+13)[18]

[salokcin]

Alexis

"grapple" - (d20+7)[24]

[salokcin]

Alexis

Pleased with his results so far, Alexis reloads his crossbow and readies himself to fire again. While he loads, he looks at the jar to try to determine if it is a construct or an undead, or something else entirely.

Spoiler

Show

Alexis, round 2

Not sure if Bok knows where to go from that command, so I will take another action. If Bok does make a move into the room, that happens before this shot.

"Attack" - (d20+14)[15]
"Confirm Crit" - (d20+14)[20]
"damage" - (d8+1)[2]

[leafman]

Bok

Bok readies his swords and looks wearily around the room. On the look out for a sneaky rogue, Bok walks slowly back to the room beyond the blue sphere trying not to make alot of noise.

Spoiler

Show

Move Silently: (1d20+15)[34]

[UglyPanda]

OOC: Natural 1. Attack order is Alexis, Brain in a Jar, Bok. It's Bok's turn next.

While loading the bolt, Alexis pushes the trigger by accident, launching the bolt into the ceiling where it bounces off, hits the ground, and breaks.

<Stupid freaking Orc, kill him, kill him now!>

OOC: Roll a will save, Alexis.
(2d10)[12]

[leafman]

Bok

Assuming Bok can hear the sounds of battle (at least Alexis's bolts bouncing off stuff), Bok charges headlong into the room and moves for Alexis.

ooc: double move action to get into a position to attack, provoking an attack of opportunity from Alexis

[salokcin]

Alexis

"Will Save" - (d20+8)[26]

[salokcin]

Alexis

(OOC) Assuming that was plenty to pass...

Alexis reaches into his pocket, pulls out a wand, and points it menacingly at the jar. "If you can understand me, I suggest you release my friend from your control, before I blow us all to pieces with this wand. I'd rather not die, but if I go down I'm taking you with me." "bluff - (d20+14)[25]

He motions over his shoulder to the charging Bok. "If you let him free of your spell, we will leave this room and never come back, and you will live to carry out your evils on other travellers."(no bluff roll needed here)

Alexis waits for a response, wand at the ready.

Spoiler

Show

if Bok attacks me, he is my dodge target (+1 AC)

[UglyPanda]

<Bah, screw you.>

Roll a will save.

[salokcin]

Alexis

"will" - (d20+8)[16]

[salokcin]

Alexis

(OOC) Assuming I still passed...

Alexis points the wand at the jar and shoots out a healing ray, hoping to the gods that the contents are undead.

Spoiler

Show

"heal" - (d8+1)[6] does damage instead if undead

[UglyPanda]

OOC: You passed the save and skipped leafman's turn. Bok hasn't done anything yet, he is in the room with you now.

Bok begins his new assault on Alexis swinging his blades in his best imitation of a blender.
