Emi-chan's Undermountain Campain!

[emi-chan]

Avoraelde

I straighten my robes and look around at the graffiti to see what it says.

The graffiti on the wall is written in a variety of different languages, and by the handwriting in some cases, by a lot of different people. The prefered methods of writing seems to be writing with sticks of charcol and chalk.

You read the ones which you can understand.

In common: 'Durnan is a bastard. I swear by Gruunsh that when i get out of here I'll stuff his throat with gold pieces until he chokes. Signed Slurg.'

'Here awaits a secret door, but you will not find it or you won't be able to open it, and then you'll rot here in this pit.'

'Dumbar Ironshanks was here and killed more orcs than he could count.' Underneath this, written in Undercommon was the phrase 'That means eleven.'


Looking around you notice a secret door in a corner of the room away from the passage to the south.

[vampire2948]

Okay, team, some of this graffiti tells us that there is a secret door here.

Now, that means that there are three ways out of this room, up, south and this secret door, which I can see over there.


I point at the secret door.

Now, as many of you may have noticed. I don't carry any weapons, and only one of my clerical spells is dedicated to causing damage to my enemies. I fight using undead slaves. I hope no one is offended by this, as they can, and will be, I hope, very useful.

Unfortunately, my undead summoning ability is not as good as I wish it was. Mainly due to lack of practice, as most people disapprove of undead. Thus, I cannot summon undead for very long...at the moment, I can keep them in existance with me for a small amount of time. As my experience grows, I will be able to do better.

Now, I think we should try to work out which would be the best course of action. We can try to open that secret door over there, or we can head down the southen path.

I indicate the southen path.

Secret doors are usually secret because there is something worth keeping secret behind them, and secrets are occasionally valuable.

Karilu

Problem with secrets is that the owner wants to keep 'em secret. Meaning that they are likely guarded or trapped... Then again, it must've been here a long time, and any guards or traps are possibly long since gone - as are the secrets behind them...

[vampire2948]

That is true...perhaps we should just continue down the less secret route.

[sazzer]

Karilu

Oh no - that wasn't quite what I meant. I just meant that if there's anything valuable to be had from behind that there secret door then we want to be very careful in looking. Likewise, there's the strong chance that others have already had the same thoughts and there's no danger or valuables to be had any more...

[vampire2948]

Hmm...that is true...

Avoraelde walks over to the door and inspects it, methods of opening it, inspecting the ground around it for any signs of a recent opening, and listening as hard as he can through it.

Derrick

Derrick hangs out in the center of the room, waiting to see what happens.

[Frosty]

Chronos the Warforged Warblade

Chronos had put away his bongos and bells in his pack before he descended. Now in the cold atmostphere (which he doesn't really feel), he feels slightly at home. "I had worked in such environments in the past. While my sensory apparatus is not designed to detect hidden things, I have survived un-planned events in the past due to my tough plating."

[estradling]

Cymran

Binding Savnok didn't go as cleanly as he would have hoped, and that had put him in an irritable mood. Realisticly he knew that talking and caution was a wise thing down here, but did they really have to do so much of it? With a thoughtless gesture he rubs his aching shoulder.


OOC: Don't mind Cymran he is just under the influence. :)

[emi-chan]

You see that the door has been opened recently, judging by the foot prints on the sandy floor only two people went this way and did not come back. You hear a muffled snarling, words from an unknown language reach you through the door.

A tiny hole in the door, large enough for a key is barely visible in the door. The door does not seem to be very thick.

[vampire2948]

Avoraelde


Avoraelde looks at Folli. Avoraelde looks at the door.


Folli...think we should break it? Or can anyone pick locks?

[Duke of URL]

Derrick

"Pick locks? Don't look at me... I can blast it down for you if you like, though."

[vampire2948]

Do your blasts cause a lot of noise?

[tophat]

Folli raises the butt of his axe and smashes it into the place where the secret door has been indicated .

[Duke of URL]

Derrick

Do your blasts cause a lot of noise?

"By themselves? No. But I imagine the door itself might have other ideas once it starts absorbing blasts of energy."

[sazzer]

Karilu

Looking at Folli and his axe, I'm not sure being quiet is such a problem any more...

[vampire2948]

Avoraelde

He laughs, Of course, well...we seem to have made some noise and probably alerted whatever is in there.

I suppose we should just take down the door before they can prepare themselves...

[Duke of URL]

Derrick

"Of course, we could just try knocking. It's likely they're already alerted, and it's possible that they might even be friendly..."

[vampire2948]

Possibly.

I draw my scroll of Magic Missile out of my bag and ready an action to cast it when the door opens, if there are hostile things inside, on the closest one.


Well then, continue to open the door? By either method.

[emi-chan]

Suddernly the noises behind the door stop. Then a shuffling is heard and the door thrown back. Light floods the small room from the passage behind the door and six angry goblins can be seen behind it. The passage is thin, only allowing for two people through at once, you see that the corridor opens out into a larger room. One standing closer to you than the rest, gnashing his teeth in annoyance after being disturbed with the noise made by Folli. They start to move towards their weapons, but are clumsy and don't reach them before you have a chance to ready yourselves.

[Frosty]

Chronos the Warforged Warblade

"There is a possibility that there are trapped friendlies on the other side. We should proceed with caution not hurt a non-hostile."

As he says that and the door opens, he looks at the goblins. "I guess we shall have a chance to find out. Does anyone speak their language?" He readies his own weapon, the Ranseur.

[vampire2948]

I don't know, Chronos, they look pretty hostile!


Spellcraft Check:

(1d20+6)[20]


If it works:

(1d4+1)[4]

It works, and a single missile of light streaks from my arms and strikes the nearest goblin.


Everyone, the goblins are going for their weapons. They are clearly hostile. Kill or subdue them all.

[tophat]

Ha Goblin scum die

Folli piles into the goblins swinging his axe


(1d20+1)[20] inititive
(1d20+5)[7] to hit
(1d8+3)[6] If i hit

[emi-chan]

The goblin crumples, dead, and two other goblins run forwards.

Folli misses the goblin and they laugh at his words, even though they don't understand them, it sounded funny.

[estradling]

Cymran


As the goblins open the door and the leader begins to cast, Cymran lets out a, "Finally!" Calling upon his bond, Cymran becomes wrapped up in fancy full plate armor that appears out of no where.



OOC: Using Call Armor power as Full round action

Derrick

"Ah. Well. So much for friendly contact." He makes sure there's a little space to work in, and lets loose a blast of Eldritch energy at the most opportune target.

Spoiler

Show

Moves to get a clear line of effect and to ensure he is at least 10' away from the nearest goblin.

Initiative - (1d20+5)[14], in case you're using it.
Attack - (1d20+6)[16] (includes +1 for PBS, ranged touch attack), Damage - (1d6+1)[2] (includes +1 for PBS)

On a hit (which it should be), target must make Will save DC 16 or be shaken

[Frosty]

Chronos the Warforged Warblade

Shifting gears, the warforged says, "Switching to battle mode. First priority is to ensure the safety of allies. Everyone, follow my lead. I will strike at the leader to make him more vulnerable to attacks."

Chronos moves and uses his long reach to strike at the biggest, meanest looking goblin of the bunch. If the strike lands, everyone has a +4 to hit vs that goblin.

Attack (1d20+4)[24]
ooc - how do I do something like 2d4+1d6+3? I need to roll multiple times? Jeez.

Damage rolls (2d4+3)[7] + (1d6)[6]

[Frosty]

ooc - rolling for crit confirmation. (1d20+4)[15]

If that confirms the crit, then Chronos deals an extra 14 damage.

[Lansier]

Nolan

''Not a big fan of subtelty are you?'' Nolan remarks after seeing Folli take a swing at the door. He draws his shortbow as soon as he spots the goblins and takes aim at the ones further back, not trusting his aim with his companions that close to the target.

Initiative: (1d20+4)[10]
Attack: (1d20+4)[12]
Damage: (1d6)[5]
