No Adventurers Allowed: Team Basilisk Spleen (IC)

[begooler]

Lester finds an additional door in the room, and also discovers that one of the doors is trapped.

Spoiler

Entered through:
Door (south, 5 from west): iron, free

Other doors
Door (north, 2 from west): (concealed) wooden, strong, free
Door (south, 1 from west): iron, locked, trapped [trap: lightning blast (CR3) (Find/Disable DC 21)]

Meanwhile, Fln'Brax's eyeball minion in Room 8 detects adventurers (or other creatures) arriving on the Garden Level in two rounds. They will either arrive from the south edge of the Grove in Room 8, or from the hallway south of Room 8 and North of Room 5.
Its speed and central location allow it to fly in a circle around the clearing and alert everyone this round.

Spoiler

Initiatives!

[Lexin]

I assume that the actions in garden level and the ones in the Cavern are not connected, as it was a different day and all... (if I am wrong, just tell me)

Garden
Initiative: (1d20+5)[24] (28 thanks to Bob)
Bob (Eyeball) stays in room 5 with the 'enemy sensor' turned on.
If he senses nothing Lester runs to the center of dungeon.
(If he can run [x4 movement] then after 2 rounds before combat, he is 2 squares south from the intersection south from room 8)



Cavern: [Spoilered for after combat]

Spoiler

Lester can disable this trap with "take 10" try (he has +15 bonus).
Can he take parts of the trap after disarming to either repair it and use it somewhere else, or just feed it to the Lichen to get gp limit for crafting?

He checks the treasure.

[Hellfire014]

Arkan, hearing the call to arms, grabs his bow and arrows and rushes over to [either Room 3 (hides in a tree in NE corner) or near the secret door outside room 6 (hiding behind the corner), wherever he's directed]. His minions hide in Cavern 7.

Rolls

Spoiler

Initiative: (1d20+4)[13]
Hide: (1d20+8)[20]

[begooler]

Spoiler

Arkan:
The information from Fln'Brax's eyeball minion indicates that hiding outside the secret door to Room 6 would be closer to where the arriving adventurers are detected, but in the event that they are entering the Grove in Room 8 instead of the hallway, the area in Room 3 would have a shorter path to the adventurers.

[Hellfire014]

Arkan thinks at the eyeball, <Based on their movement, where are they more likely to enter?>

[begooler]

Spoiler

It doesn't have any information beyond that, at least until they enter in two rounds and it gets a chance to spot them. Also, the eyeball only sends telepathic messages, someone has to have telepathy, or be within speaking range to respond.

[Hellfire014]

Spoiler

In that case, Arkan hides in the trees in Room 3, NW corner

[Mangles]

Glen hunkers down in room 8 protecting the lichen that is there. Should the eyeball's or any alarm's go off in another part of the dungeon, then he will rush to that area.

[Avalon®]

Hearing the alarm, Scruffy pauses its investigation of the grove and proceeds through the tunnel leading out from door 6. It then proceeds to the intersection to the east of room 6.

There, it turns transparent and attempts to hide.

Spoiler

Initiative: (1d20+1)[19]
Hide: (1d20+15)[33]

If any of the adventurers don't notice me, if they walk into me then they must attempt a DC 17 reflex save or be engulfed.

[TheDon]

Fln'Brax, after being alerted, quickly goes ethereal and floats to room 8 in a straight line. He floats within the wall. He then leaves out an eyestalk so he is able to see within room, he however hides it. He leaves another eyestalk out so he can keep an eye out on the hallway, also hiding it. He will readjust his position as soon as his minion provides further intel.

Spoiler

Hide room 8 : (1d20+21)[30]
Hide hallway : (1d20+21)[30]

Spoiler

Did +21, 9 from rank, 12 from the eye itself being about diminutive size since the rest of my body is fully within the wall.

Spoiler

His other minion is currently in room 5 still.

Cavern

Spoiler

Fln'Brax Also attempts to spot someone out of the ordinary about the treasure
Fln'Brax' Spot : (1d20+12)[19]
Eyeball : (1d20+5)[20]

[TheDon]

Spoiler

Room 8 Spot : (1d20+12)[14]

[begooler]

Spoiler

Player Characters and Minions in Room 8 should roll spots/hides if they haven't already to determine who is aware and if there's a surprise round. I'll also post a map in the morning.

[Mangles]

Spot: (d20)[5]
Init: (d20+9)[29]

[begooler]

Spoiler

Init for Fln'Brax: (1d20+5)[20] (I allowed to make roll while still in Bob's trepidation aura)

[begooler]

MAP (you can edit)

Both Glen and Fln'Brax see some of the adventurers appear; a human woman with silver hair, wearing a breastplate and carrying a shield and a horn but no weapon; and a medium sized creature made of fire. Glen misses it, but Fln'Brax also sees a dark red haired hobgoblin woman, an archer, take aim from behind the trees loosing an arrow at Glen. She tries to hide after sniping, but fails to do so and reveals her position to Glen.

Fln'Brax sees a look of recognition on the face of the Archer. Even if she is unable to tell quite what Glen is, she has discerned at least some information.
After 'sniping' the Archer calls out to the Shieldbearer in Draconic:

Spoiler

"Turn it!"

Rolls/Attacks:

Spoiler

Archer: Attacks Glen
(1d20+14)[15] Touch; against Flatfooted AC
Damage: (1d8+5)[8] + (5d6)[17] Piercing. (not sneak attack)

Initiative Order: (Surprise round, standard actions etc only)

Spoiler

Archer (turn)
Glen (next)
Fln'Brax
...
Shieldbearer is not aware.

[begooler]

In a stroke of unluck, the Archer fails to hit Glen, despite her extremely favorable circumstances.

Spoiler

Glen's turn, then Fln'Brax. On the map, red are the enemies you see. S is the Shieldbearer; A is the Archer; E is the fire elemental.

[Mangles]

Glen positions himself between the elemental and the armoured human, letting his rotting aura do the work.

Spoiler

double move action to that location. Both of them must make a reflex save DC: 17 or take (d6)[5] damage on their turn. If they take damage they must make a will save DC: 17 or become sickened for 1 round. Also Glen heals 1 hit point if they fail their reflex save.

[begooler]

Spoiler

Glen can't take a double move this round, because he's limited to one standard (or one move) plus free/swift actions.

Edit: For convenience sake, we'll just say you were already close enough to make one move, since it was me that positioned you.

[begooler]

Reflex Saves:

Spoiler

Shieldbearer: (1d20+7)[11]
Fire Elemental: (1d20+7)[16]

[Mangles]

Spoiler

I did not know that. Fixed as discussed

[TheDon]

Fln'Brax takes a 5' step toward the archer, revealing his position, but also putting the archer within range of his rays. Three of his eyes glow and rays shoot out at the archer.

Spoiler

Range touch attacks
Gaze of Slumber: (1d20+4)[22] DC 18 Will or sleep
Gaze of Pain : (1d20+4)[21] DC 18 Will or (2d8+5)[13] damage
Gaze of Encumbrance : (1d20+4)[10] DC 18 Will or slowed.

[begooler]

Spoiler

Will saves:
Slumber: (1d20+5)[6]
Pain: (1d20+5)[10]
Encumbrance: (misses)

[begooler]

The Archer reels back in pain from Fln'Brax's ray, then drops in a peaceful slumber.

Spoiler

Went back to read the description, its identical to the spell, and the Archer has more than 4HD, so is not affected.

The Dualwielder:

Another figure appears from her hiding place within the trees. This one is an elf, wearing a linen shirt and pants instead of armor, and wielding a rapier and shortsword. A shimmering aura of protection envelopes this 'Dualwielder.' The elf steps towards Glen, and with a single swift assault; thrusts both her weapons at him.

Her attacks would be more effective if Glen was a living creature.

Spoiler

Attack 1(Rapier, Glen) (1d20+8)[16]
Damage (1d8+2)[10](Magic, Piercing) + (2d6)[5] (Not sneak attack)

Attack (Shortsword, Glen) (1d20+8)[17]
Damage (1d6+1)[3](Magic, Piercing) + (2d6)[9] (Not sneak attack)

(If necessary, Reflex and Will Saves for Glen's Aura)
Ref: (1d20+10)[11]
Will:(1d20+3)[21]

The Firebearer:

A voice from within the trees gives an order in Ignan to the fire elemental, which responds with an attack towards Glen.

Spoiler

Attack (Slam, Glen) (1d6+1)[5](Nonmagic, Bludgeoning) + (1d6)[3]Fire
DC 14 Reflex to avoid catching fire, if hit.

Spoiler

Burn (Ex) A fire elemental’s slam attack deals bludgeoning damage plus fire damage from the elemental’s flaming body. Those hit by a fire elemental’s slam attack also must succeed on a Reflex save or catch on fire. The flame burns for 1d4 rounds. The save DC varies with the elemental’s size (see table). A burning creature can take a move action to put out the flame. The save DC is Constitution-based. Creatures hitting a fire elemental with natural weapons or unarmed attacks take fire damage as though hit by the elemental’s attack, and also catch on fire unless they succeed on a Reflex save.

From the same source that commanded the elemental, an offensive spell like ability targets Fln'Brax.

Spoiler

(Fort save DC 13 vs. Blindness) I didn't see SR on your sheet, but just in case; CL check: (1d20+5)[24]

The voice calls out, in common, "A sentry! To the northwest!"
No one spotted this opponent before, and she hasn't moved, but the sound of the voice came from near the Archer.

The Shieldbearer didn't spot Glen or Fln'Brax quickly enough to act this round, and is still flat footed.

End Surprise Round Begin. Round 1.

[begooler]

Spoiler

Forgot to make the actual attack roll against Glen from the Fire Elemental. (1d20+4)[8]

[begooler]

The Archer
With a word, the Archer swiftly casts a spell on herself, quickening her movements.
She then continues her assault on Glen. She recoils from her first attack, seemingly hurt, but each attack that lands, she appears to recover strength.

Spoiler

Attack 1 (Longbow, Glen) (1d20+13)[21]
Damage: (1d8+6)[9](Magic, Piercing) + (5d6)[12] (Not sneak attack)

Attack 2 (Longbow, Glen) (1d20+13)[30]
Damage: (1d8+6)[7](Magic, Piercing)

Attack 2 (Longbow, Glen) (1d20+13)[30]
Damage: (1d8+6)[8](Magic, Piercing)

(Also takes a 5ft step)

Spoiler

Glen's turn, then Lester (still out of room) then Fln'Brax.
Also, note that I made an edit to the language that the Archer was speaking to the Shieldbearer in, as what I originally wrote didn't make sense. (The change doesn't affect anything though- Fln'Brax would be able to make out what she said, but not Glen, which is the same as before.)

[begooler]

Glen:

Spoiler

Forgot to roll wills saves for the elemental and shieldbearer.
3 enemies have failed their reflex save against the rot this round, healing you for 3 damage.


Will, Shieldbearer: (1d20+9)[19]
Will, Elemental: (1d20+1)[3]

[TheDon]

Spoiler

erg I hate that spell
Fortitude : (1d20+3)[8]

[Lexin]

Spoiler

Still running... it seems Lester would be able to get to the middle south door of room 3.

[begooler]

Spoiler

That's fine. Remember run is a straight line, otherwise double move.

[Lexin]

Spoiler

Oh... in that case (if you allow straight line, but not really walking on squares) it would be left door of room 3.
If not... about 4 squares from this door.
