OddHolme Round 26, (revisited Hero Actions) [DM SteveK] d100=84 ; d100=71 ; d100=79 ; Monday December 6th, 2010 11:35:00 AM (ooc: Because of the small corridors and fog, there are 5 of 7 PCs that can't complete the action they want. To head off frustration, I'm posting only PC actions. If a Player wants to change his hero's action from what is below, go ahead and post.
I will post Round 27 tomorrow. ..........
Xenia works to clear the way for the others, pulling out her Thieves Tools and gets ready to pick the lock at the top of the webbed stairs.
Kazak keeps moving forward, his stone blade smashing another Hound to the hard-packed earth of the corridor floor.
Torgon wants to move, but with Peerimus, Firn'gaer, and Yorrick in the way, there is no place for him to go and strike out at the same time. And so the warrior stands where he is, lashing out again and again with his chain until the Hound is slain. (ooc: 1- Squeezing past friendly's cost double move, there is nowhere for Torgon to get to in 30 feet of move. 2- since Torgon didn't move, DM used the rolled AoOs as a full round action to kill the Hound.)
Firn'gaer wants to cast a spell, but can't see the Hounds or Gorgon clearly enough to target the enemy! (ooc: fog gives 50% miss and unable to target for beings more than 5 feet away.)
Rash wants to heal Firn'gaer, but can't squeeze past Torgon who can't squeeze past Peerimus and Firn'gaer. At least, they can't squeeze past and conduct other actions at the same time...
Yorrick gives the Gorgon another wound. The armored bull looks nowhere close to death, but with the bear striking and the gorgon not, it is only a matter of time. The question lays in whose side does time help?
Peerimus calls for a different tactic and looks for an enemy to strike before withdrawing. It appears either action is a possibility, but with the Hound already dead, not both.
Durgan retrieves a potion from his haversack (move action), then moves across in front of Peerimus and Yorrick (move action) before drinking it (next round). He reminds everyone that he is best at defense and can keep rear guard while the others attack the real target.
Torgon AC: 39 HP : 173(192)/186 Monday December 6th, 2010 2:38:49 PM
OOC: I'm good with that. Thanks.
Firn'gaer AC24; HP124; Arcane Sight, Extd Fly, Extd True Seeing, Extd Shield, See Invisibility, SR18 Monday December 6th, 2010 9:53:13 PM
Firn'gaer will use Mage's Lucubration to recall his Empowered Fireball.
Durgan Stonewall (AC 39; HP 195/284) Monday December 6th, 2010 9:54:00 PM
OOC- thats fine. For some reason, I thought retrieving an item from a haversack was a free action
Rash 176/160 AC 46 Monday December 6th, 2010 11:18:04 PM
Rash will use her greater teleport to teleport to Xenia. Sorry Kazak but I guess you will need a healing potion
OddHolme Round 27 [DM SteveK] 10d6=28 ; d20+20=21 ; d20+20=37 ; Tuesday December 7th, 2010 4:49:32 PM
Xenia works to clear the way for the others, pulling out her Thieves Tools and gets ready to pick the lock at the top of the webbed stairs. Amazingly enough, the door springs open at the first touch! door is open!
Kazak keeps moving forward, his stone blade smashing another Hound to the hard-packed earth of the corridor floor. Since Rash can't get to the dwarf, no healing spell arrives.
Torgon wants to move, but with Peerimus, Firn'gaer, and Yorrick in the way, there is no place for him to go and strike out at the same time. And so the warrior stands where he is, lashing out again and again with his chain until the Hound is slain. (ooc: 1- Squeezing past friendly's cost double move, there is nowhere for Torgon to get to in 30 feet of move. 2- since Torgon didn't move, DM used the rolled AoOs as a full round action to kill the Hound.)
Firn'gaer will use Mage's Lucubration to recall his Empowered Fireball.
Rash casts greater teleport to teleport to Xenia. As the magical spell whisks her away, tremendous forces clash and flare in that 'otherspace' of teleportation. A maelstrom of magic singes Rash and she arrives at the base of the stairs Xenia is at with wisps of smoke and burn holes in her clothes. The cleric immediately understands that the battle between the Chaos-Tattooed demon and the Power Sargrass has entered a new level... it would be VERY dangerous for any extra dimensional travel right now. Maybe that is why none of the demons have been teleporting about? Rash takes 28 epic fire damage, no save, no resistance
On the good side of things, Rash is now next to Xenia!
Yorrick gives the Gorgon another wound. The armored bull looks nowhere close to death, but with the bear striking and the gorgon not, it is only a matter of time. The question lays in whose side does time help?
Peerimus calls for a different tactic and looks for an enemy to strike before withdrawing. It appears either action is a possibility, but with the Hound already dead, not both.
Durgan retrieves a potion from his haversack (move action), then moves across in front of Peerimus and Yorrick (move action) before drinking it (next round). He reminds everyone that he is best at defense and can keep rear guard while the others attack the real target.
........................
The Gorgon tries to gore Yorrick, but it would take a miracle for the monster to draw blood.
The last Hound leaps insanely at Kazak, failing to make a mark on the well-armored dwarf.
Mr. X again seems content to stay in the misty shadows, and, other than keeping the heroes under observation, does no overt attack...

"Hey, Momma Rash," the rogue spares a moment over her shoulder for a greeting before stepping through the door and attacks the second door. Xenia is on the proverbial roll. Waard, god of fortune and tricksters has blessed her with luck to augment her skill. This door falls as easily as the other.
"It's open!" Xenia throws the door open. "Go, Momma Rash. Go."

Rash 148/160 AC 46 Tuesday December 7th, 2010 10:43:47 PM
Rash starts patting the small flames out wincing at some of the blisters being raised and looks at Xenia and asks, "What am I supposed to do when I get there child? Please enlighten me. Am I supposed to fight something. Tear something down? What? I am not equipped to tear down a tower my dear." While Xenia explains, Rash decides to bring in some reinforcements wondering if it will work. She will summon an earth elemental to show up next round

Peerimus deactivates his boots, as the opponent that was just there gets cut down. With Rash gone temporarily, The druid fills in. Moving to Kazak he touches the dwarf. "Mother tend your wounds", he whispers move to himself as he casts the Heal spell I got your 150 right here brotha "Kazak, forget the dog and move through that door! Torgon take out the Hound. We need to be moving towards Xenia."
Yorrick continues to trade blood for air with the Gorgon. This time two of the great bears strikes connect. [Hit AC 35/40/26 Dmg 30/27/ plus 5 Fire plus 5 Cold]

Xenia is on a roll, picking locks as fast as a child eating candied fruit.
Kazak's stone blade rings as the last Hound is sliced four times! (DM rolled fog miss chances, all hit)
Rash listens to Xenia's scouting report and attempts to perform a Summoning spell. Within seconds, she knows something is wrong. The spell rips open the fabric of reality, burning everything in a 10 foot radius of Rash! Rash lose spell, and takes 50 epic fire damage, no save, no resistance. Xenia Reflex DC 25 or 50 epic fire damage, no resistance (improved evasion normally) .
On a good note, all the webs are burned off the stairs!

Torgon moves out into the main corridor, gets close to the hound, and delivers the killing blow.

"Whoa!" The rogue tucks into her cloak at the first sign of fire, lifting her head when it passes. "That didn't happen last time."
When all appears safe, Xenia tucks away her kit of tools, and takes out a scroll.
"Careful, there's a powerful stench on the other side of the door," she warns. "Bring tears to your eyes. Oh, hi, Fernie. This opens onto a balcony that looks down on the Center Meeting area. In the middle is a big iron tower, and in the tower you can hear chanting. I'm thinking that's where Snake Girl's hid herself out."

Rash's battle magic fades and she shrinks back down to normal size. She looks at Xenia and says, "I guess we better do this smart instead of bold." She starts to pat out even more scorched marks and continues, "Doesn't look like I am summoning any help either."
Rash burns a sending spell to cast a cure critical on herself getting back 38 hitpoints.
She will then call to the others, "Hurry up! We need to finish this before more bad things appear!"

Firn'gaer flies a few feet over in the misty corridor.
Xenia tucks away her kit of tools, and takes out a scroll.
Kazak charges through the doorway, following the voices of Rash and Xenia. Hustling through the darkness, the dwarf is halfway up the stairs on the far side of the room.
Peerimus moves through the door and casts Shape Change, but keeps his current form. He also sees the darkened room, the stairs and the open door where Xenia just picked the lock.
Yorrick continues to trade blood for air with the Gorgon. The monster is starting to feel the effects of its wounds.
Durgan drinks his potion. The now enlarged dwarf takes a step closer to the Gorgon, and readies to try his axe against the formidable creature.
Rash casts a spontaneous cure critical on herself.
Torgon moves closer to the Gorgon and delivers a blow that only sweeps the cloying mists.
........................
The Gorgon breathes again, a greenish fog that covers Yorrick, Durgan, and Torgon. All three Fort Dc 23 or be turned to stone!

"Lets clear the air." Xenia reads from the scroll, and, as it crumbles, points her dark gloved fingers in the direction of the center of the Meeting Area. A powerful wind flows from her hand, sweeping away the Stinking Cloud.
Then, the dark rogue moves through the door and flies out over the edge of the balcony. The floor of the Central Meeting area drops away below.

Rash leaps into the air, following Xenia with her own fly spell. Rash refrains from casting any other spells but she goes over her inventory both memorized and what she has available on scroll. She shakes her head and says to Xenia, "We need to get this battle finished! Costing me to much in magic. Can't believe I had to use two miracles on Firn'gaer."

Torgon shakes off the effects of the Gorgons breath weapon and swings away at the creature, yet by putting more strength in his swings, less of them strike, and only one snap of the chain scores the huge gorgon. It totters, but is still on its legs!
Xenia clears the air of the upstairs room with a Gust of Wind allowing her companions to easily move through the dark to the more spacious central meeting place. The rogue then flies out into the darkness beyond the balcony. Her True Seeing pierces the darkness, noting that there are still no creatures or illusions that she can see. Only the large empty space with stadium seating and three large doors at floor level. Many smaller doorways are visible in the walls around the top of the stadium-like area, similar to the balcony that Xenia just flew out of. And at the center of the area is the squat iron tower.
Kazak runs, his hobnailed boots pounding the stairs, breath like a bellows. With a grace belieing his squat bulk, he eels through two doors and stands guard in the dark room. The dwarven brother sees a small bare room with a balcony looking out on a great darkness (beyond 60 foot darkvision).
Yorrick roars through the fog and finally clubs the Gorgon to the earth with a last meaty paw!
Peerimus is in the darkness of a room. He hears Xenia and Kazak calling out what they see and knows there is at least a set of stairs, three doors, a hallway, and another room before he can target the central meeting place. By the sounds of the half-elf and dwarf, at least one is already in the largest room! (ooc: are you sure Peerimus wants to begin a Heightened Firestorm spell in this little room?)
Rash leaps into the air, following Xenia and weaves through the stair, door, foggy corridor, door, empty room, balcony, darkened meeting area with alacrity. Her own True Seeing spell allows the cleric to see the same thing that Xenia does.

"We need to get in, Momma Rash." Floating in the air near the balcony, the dark rogue assesses the situation. "We can take the subtle approach," she suggests. "But, I'm betting just trying to bash our way in would be quicker."
Still, trained in ways of subtlety, Xenia jets across the intervening space to the corner of the tower and begins an examination of the exterior, her eyes skimming quickly over the structure for obvious entrances.
Sure, there are quieter ways to slip in, ways that speak of great finesse. But, there are just some days when you could really do with a big old adamantine axe.

Xenia jets across the intervening space to the corner of the tower, crossing two magical barriers and suffering their effects! The first assaults her inherit 'goodness' and the second also preys on that trait. Xenia takes 24 damage, save Will DC 25 for half. Xenia also save Will DC 25 or unable to move closer to the Tower.

Kazak reaches for a couple sundrods (move) and lights them up (standard) preparing to throw them in a couple of seconds (2 throws = full round next round). He can clearly see the empty room he is in.
Durgan will wait till everyone heads up the stairs, then follow last.
Rash follows along with Xenia searching the skies,and falls into the same spelltrap! Rash takes 50 damage, save Will DC 25 for half. Rash also save Will DC 25 or unable to move closer to the Tower.

First pain, and then some weerdo force that pushes her away. Xenia fights against both, gritting her teeth and battling through. Against both, she triumphs.
The dark rogue moves over the roof and out of line with the arrow slits before calling out. "Trapdoor on the roof. Arrow slits. All sides. High up. One door. South side," she calls in an brief abbreviated fashion before turning her attention to the trapdoor and its surroundings.
While her ears remain alert for signs that someone from inside might be coming out, Xenia's keen eyes scan the surface of the roof for traps.

Rash runs into a wall and stops cold for a second. She exerts her will and pushes through experiencing some pain as she does. (first save missed but rerolled using hero point) Rash follows Xenia still watching her back. She will call out to the others warning them of the defensive spells in place naming them forbidence and repulsion. (knowledge check of 25)
She catches up to Xenia asking, "How do we get in?"
OddHolme Round 32 [DM SteveK] d6=3 ; Thursday December 16th, 2010 11:31:32 AM
Xenia moves over the roof out of sight from the arrow slits and reports her findings. She keeps alert for a sortie and scans the roof for traps.
before calling out. "Trapdoor on the roof. Arrow slits. All sides. High up. One door. South side," she calls in an brief abbreviated fashion before turning her attention to the trapdoor and its surroundings.
While her ears remain alert for signs that someone from inside might be coming out, Xenia's keen eyes scan the surface of the roof for traps. There appear to be none.
Peerimus moves to Kazak and whistles for Yorrick to follow.
Yorrick's rolling gate gets the bear squeezed through the first door and he places his paws on the stairs.
Torgon also squeezes through the door. Between the minotaur and bear, they nearly fill the room.
Kazak hops off the balcony to the stadium-like seating a mere 10 feet down. Kazak take 3 falling damage He sticks the Sunrods in his boots and they light up the area. He brightly lights up the western portion of the open area, the Iron Tower illuminated full of shadows.
Rash pushes through the Forbidence and Repulsion effects, telling the others of the spells and effects as she catches up with Xenia.
Durgan (as previously stated) keeps rear guard and gets everyone through the door before he will go himself. ........................

With a backward kick, the dark rogue drops over the edge of the tower, descending from the roof to the door in the south. From ten feet above the ground, she prepares to perform another search for traps.

.................
Xenia jerks open the trapdoor in the roof, but is unable to go inside because something is blocking the way. In fact, it is coming out!
Firn'gaer moves to keep up with the others. He nimbly flies past the heaving bulk of Torgon and Yorrick as those stalwarts paused in the stairway room, enabling him to get to Peerimus.
Torgon continues to follow after the others, waiting for Yorrick to move out of the way if he needs to in order to proceed.
Kazak moves towards the tower, perhaps to draw fire...
Peerimus moves from the small room (DM move) in order to let the larger members of the Children get through the confined spaces.
Yorrick and Durgan (from earlier intentions) continue to squeeze their way through corridors too small for their bulk. The great bear actually gets into the bare room at the top of the stairs with only a dozen hanks of hair left on corners and niches.
........................
The trapdoor that Xenia opened is full of a bristly cross of close branches and pine needles. It stirs, and then pushes its way through the trapdoor. Much greater than the size of the door, it fills the area, and squeezes up to stand a full 30 feet up at the top of the tower. Bits of string and wire hang haphazardly from the tall pine. A large green-furred hand shoves the conifer completely out of the trapdoor where it stands as the rest of the pot-bellied monster wriggles half-way out. A permenant snarl is on its face; white eyes too big, nose almost lost on its bulging muzzle.
It seems rather surprised to be face-to-face with Xenia and Rash!

Xenia cautiously backs away from the tree-wielding, Pig-Faced Guy, simply stepping over the edge and floating down to the door in the southern face of the tower. Here, she runs her eyes quickly over the door in search of harmful traps.

OddHolme Round 34 [DM SteveK] Monday December 20th, 2010 11:35:19 AM
There must be some magic in the air. For very quickly, all the heroes are in the huge common chamber and guaging the actions of the large strange green-furred, pot-bellied creature who is still holding the 30 foot conifer tree in one hand.
Firn'gaer tries to identify, be it an Outsider, Aberration, Undead, or even diety. Despite his extensive knowledge, he hasn't a clue as to what the creature is (which is in itself a determination of sorts)
Xenia wonders for a second if the new creature is Dave, the jovial barbarian from the Giggling Ghost, but quickly dismisses the thought. She slips down to the door to check it out for traps.
The other heroes hold and assess what this unusual creature may herald.
.....................
The green-furred creature holds aloft the great tree in a single hand and jumps from the roof of the Iron Tower. "Not more greed, not more whats, not more thingamajigs and such! You won't take it, I won't flinch, I won't budge a single inch!"
It waves the 30 foot tree about with the agility of a short sword.
Xenia (AC31, HP95/109) Monday December 20th, 2010 2:36:00 PM
"You're not with them, are you?" With her eyes still on the southern door and its frame, the dark rogue tosses the question over her shoulder. "I mean, with Snake Girl and her group of Invaders From the Demon Plane. Are you?"
"Sorry, not 'zactly polite. Hang on." The rogue quickly completes her search before turning to address Tree Guy. "Dunno if you can see me or not. Act-shully, hoping not. But I'm Xenia," she says, and the invisible girl gives her signature hand wave. Just in case.
"We're the Chaos Guys. We all do good. We're here to beat a demon rush. We'll crush you down if you get rough. Though for peaceful folk we're like the dove. Okay sure, I like my piles of stuff. But, Ain't a thing here, though, I'd trade for love."
A sigh comes from a patch of air near the door. Wynn would like this. He did the rhyming and meter thing better than she.

The Minotaur stares at the big green furred creature with his mouth open, and at a loss for words for a moment. He then says "seriously?" and begins to chuckle which turns to a wholehearted laughing roar. "He fights with a tree? That cannot be." He manages to get out as he laughs harder and continues to try and rhyme between gasping for air. "The demons below are those whom you you need, we are good, and honest and pure of deed."

OddHolme Round 35 [DM SteveK] Tuesday December 21st, 2010 12:07:06 PM
The green-furred humanoid glares at Torgon, Durgan, and the space where Xenia is hiding with googlie red-rimmed eyes. "Demons is what they are, all those Whats from near and far. They keep Yule for themselves and share it not with dwarves or elves."
The monologue of the pot-bellied thing is interrupted when the doors at the ground level of the common area burst open and a stream of three foot high humanoids run in, going full tilt towards the Iron Tower. Thier cherubic faces are charicatures of benevolence and good humor, and each carries a platter or bowl piled impossibly high with a wide range of roasts, puddings, fruits, and other foods. "He stole the Yule Tree!" They shout in high squeeky voices, "Help us or no one in the Wold gets Yule this year!"
The green monster swings the tree as it sheds pine needles. The little creatures respond by grabbing spoons of pudding, bars of sugary food, and slides of meats. No one looks to be in the mood for any talking.
The COC note that as soon as the little creatures arrived, a shimmering has filled every door, window, or other opening in the Tower and Common Area. There is no possibility of moving out of the line of fire...
"Fah who for-aze!" The cry from a far distant land fills Xenia's mouth. "Dah hoo dor-aze!" Whipping the newly handcrafted magic bow from her back, the rogue takes careful aim at the weapon of the tree wielding Green Guy.
Twang ... Thwanko!
The arrow strikes at just the right angle. It would take a powerful foe indeed to keep hold of the tree now.

OOC Sorry for the missed posts. My long list of excuses range from work to health to family emergencies. Been a strange couple of days to say the least.
Rash moves forward menancing the tree wielding green large goblin with her sword. "Put that tree down you you....you grinch! How could you steal the Yule tree!? Don't you want any roast beast? I bet you would be invited to the feast if you just ask nicely and put away the hate in your heart. Who knows, your heart might even grow!"

Xenia's expert shot startles the large green monster and it drops the Yule Tree. It strikes the ground and slowly topples over to lay full length on the floor. The Whats cheer and fling pudding into the air. "YAY!"
The curmudgeonly monster glares at Xenia and stoops to pick the tree up again, and then shakes off the Whats that had clambered on the tree. "You don't understand, you don't see, that these Whats aren't meant to be. It's they who are wicked, it's THEY who are bad, it's THEY who will steal Yule from each Mom and Dad!"

Peerimus's head pivots in screwed up confusion bot as far to the left as it ever has. Is now really the best time for a joke Father the unasked question streams through his mind. The Druid moves into the room becomning a Solar as he does so. He floats into the air and closes on the tree wielding creature. "How do they steal the Yule from those who do not own it?" he asks. the druid then aims a question at the others smaller creatures, "And how could the theft of a tree prevent the Yule?"

Pudding, condencsed milk bars, and thick slabs of bone-in meat are flung from over a hundred spoons and hands from equally hundred bowls and platters. The Whats seem to spray the area around the green-furred humaniod indiscriminately. Where the food strikes floor and the walls of the Iron Tower, it leaves streaks of sauce and fat that looks very slippery, sticky, and lumpy all at once. (Combination Grease, Tanglefoot, and Difficult Terrain within 30 feet of the tree holder) Where the food conglomeration strikes, the effect is more serious; the acrid smell of acid and a puff of smoke with burned green fur attests to the deadly affect of the rich food!
"That's right! Make him let go! He stole our tree! Please help us poor small folk against a monster so big!" The cherubic-faced Whats shout and call and encourage the heroes on.
The huge wounded green-furred pot-bellied creature winces in pain and strikes back with a shout at the Whats to the north. "I HATE YOOOUUUUU!" The mighty wind of his cry bowls over the Whats to the north like lawn pins and they skid across the floor until they are piled up against the north wall. It doesn't stop the other Whats who are still surrounding the monster on 3 sides. Its big goggly eyes glare balefully at Peerimus and the voice of Xenia. "Proof you ask that Whats steal and seeking the Wold for Yule to repeal and that I am working for all people's weal, but I have none save this appeal. Proof I have none, nor have I might to back my words of what is right. If you have not the faith and trust, then do as you will do as you must."
The green-furred monster slips on some grease and falls hard on its backside in the middle of the food barrage.

"Stars! Wouldja lookit what they done with that food! Don't think I ever seen a sight so rude, that's shaken me from this rare and jolly spirit. Lookit the slop! I don't wanna get near it."
The girl rogue, now visible, draws back and into herself. She shakes her head, as though to clear it, as though to shake off an enchantment. And, when she next speaks, it is tentative, listening to her own voice for change.
"You know ... I'm thinking ... we should just stay outta this one. We don't know nothing 'bout this feud, and this ain't what we come here for. Whew. Glad to kick that rhyming stuff. I say we just stay back and let them kill each other down."

with no assistance coming, the Whats quickly overwhelm the green-furred monster and claim the pine tree. The entire floor is now covered in food; puddings, bones, sticky fudgie stuff. (The floor is a combination Grease, Tanglefoot, Difficult Terrain effects)
The green monster is just an acidic goo on the floor. The Whats seem immune to thier own food, not slowed down in the slightest. As they claim the tree, it is festooned with lights, baubles, and ... and Toys! The Whats gleefully grab the presents off the tree and dance around the tree shouting and banging the toys about. "Mine, Mine, Mine!"
Xenia (AC31, HP95/109) Tuesday December 28th, 2010 1:49:44 PM
"Yeah, alright!" Hovering in the air up above the flame headed rogue makes shooing motions to clear off the weerdo little Whatsiswhats. "Alright. You got your stuff. Now clear off. This is a danger area. Lotta deadly business gonna be goin on here soon. Don't wanna be kilt down now. Shoo! Take your stuff and go."
Yeesh.

Hooting and dancing, the Whats claim thier tree and run out the doors, leaving the sticky mess behind.
(Next post on Monday. Returning to our regularly scheduled program)

Whew. The dark rogue breaths a silent sigh of relief. "Dunno what it is 'bout them. Those little guys sorta give me the feebee weebles."
"So ... where were we?"
"Oh yeah."
Ensuring that the southern door is devoid of traps, the dark rogue opens the door.
