Both Skalipy and SHaron burst into laughter at Snafu's condolences. Skalipy recovers first and speaks, mirth still coloring his voice. " Do not feel sorry for us. Suffering is the grindstone that sharpens the edge of a person's soul. Why do you think I administer these diseases to those Sharon brings me? My Lord teaches that through suffering we are strengthened. The towns folk were weak because they did not kill Sharon when they had the chance. Had she been old enough to control her dual nature, I have no doubt she would have saved her mother by transforming and decimating the town. As it was I had to bind her and stay awake all night making sure she didn't kill me when she was turned by the moon." "Suffering cleanses you, it makes things clear. When asked if you would sacrifice yourself to allow another to live, most people are unsure. They ask what the situation is, as if it would matter. They ask who it would be they were saving, because things like petty grievances or love would cloud their judgment. When actually IN the position where it is themselves or someone else that lives or dies, there is usually no such consideration. Self preservation wins almost every time." " I still have more to show you, unless I have hurt your delicate sensibilities. You have a thicker skin that the woman scrying did, I'll say that much. You are good at heart, That I see, but you have a thirst for knowledge and a willingness to examine a situation before rendering judgment. Come see what else my Lord has taught me to build. He requires a sacrifice to make it active, but I think I have found what he seeks in return. Once he has what he wants he will power the great machine and I will be able to cleanse the Wold and remake it in his own image." Skalipy rises from the desk and leads you to a door at the rear of the workshop. The scrying sensor follows you as you move to the door.
Back in Jarlswolf Dulcet sweats and grinds her teeth to hold the image steady. While they sat it was easier on her, but now that they are moving, it is almost as if she has to walk to keep up with them as well as maintain the spell.
Tishe' (AC 26 HP 107/107 Thursday April 21st, 2011 12:21:48 PM
"They are walking away and not thinking we will arrive, let us go now!"
Tishe' steps away from the cauldron and, ensuring Thar, Seralina, and Falmar are holding her (with no familiars or companions), she casts the Teleport to come in right behind Snafu.
"Take out this pest hole!" she calls to her packmates.

Snafu felt his irritation grow when Skalipy and Sharon laughed at him, but he followed them towards the door anyway. He still wanted to learn more, though mostly for the sake of the victims of this experimentation. However, as far as Skalipy and Sharon were concerned he had made his judgment; they need to be stopped and to face justice.
"Suffering can make you stronger" Snafu agreed. "Some of the things Snafu is most proud of probably wouldn't be if he hadn't suffered. Yet there are other things that have made him stronger, like compassion and love. Without these things Snafu would be like a great ship without a rudder. He could cut through any wave and move like the wind, but the movement would be without direction or purpose."
"Put another way, suffering is like the desert that causes that cactus to grow where nothing else can, whereas compassion is the sun that gives it life and purpose. For without compassion and love Sharon would have never made it to the age of five. And Skalipy... you might not have survived the plague that fell upon your hometown for surely there were people that nursed you from your bed side."
Snafu took a deep breath for he knew that he was treading on very dangerous territory. "I am trying to consider your work with an open-mind despite the alarm bells that are ringing in my heart. Though Sharon may strike me down for saying this, I ask- 'Skalipy is your mind open? Have you considered the other possibilities? Is it possible that compassion is the element that's missing?"
With his semses on high alert, Snafu waited for a response.

Book keeping. Tishe's action this round is to activate the boots and teleport. I need actions from Thar Falmar Serillana Snafu As soon as Tishe says she is Teleporting, Dulcet releases the Greater scrying spell and sight is restored to all of you. Your last sight as you teleport out, is Dulcet collapsing behind her cauldron. You have initiative and are coming into the room with Snafu and Cassie between you and Skalipy, who is standing in the open doorway and is 10 feet from Tishe ( the rest of you are behind Tishe).Sharon is right next to Falmar ( lucky guy, you are in back by random roll). Post your actions and I will post the bad guys this weekend.the room is 30x30 and has some furniture in it, but none so large as to provide cover in these close quarters. AOE spells will likely hit the whole room, including the unfortunates strapped to the tables, just a heads up, you guys normally use targeted spells anyway. OOC Yes, I am a bad DM and I do not have Skalipy ready for combat yet. He is too complicated for me to finish tonight (despite my knowing what his classes and levels are and all that jazz) He will be ready this weekend so that I can rspond to you. Monday we can start round 2.

Falmar will draw his new Mithril Scimitar and gets shuttlecocked (ready).
Casting True strike ( armor check passed ) before teleport if possible.
Aahh. Sharon, how surprised will you be to be hurt just like everyone else. No more hiding behind your illness.

DM David They can be silvered while you are blinded, you have used daggers for long enough to be able to do simple things like say sharpen, or coat them without looking, just like soldiers train to assemble their weapons blind. This means you can attack.
Tishe' (AC 26 HP 107/107 Friday April 22nd, 2011 8:05:44 AM
ooc: All concerned, Tishe' is teleporting, so that is her action for this round. HOWEVER, the others can still take a full round action! Swing away, Swing away!!!
This is actually a great tactic for higher levels. One person teleports or Dim Doors two of the heavy fighters behind the bad guys, and the heavies get a free full round action without having to move! :-)
DM David Just ask the lich we slaughtered in 1 round how surprised he was to have our fighter teleported right behind him and beat him senseless. It is a very good tactic.

Spells ready, Thar decides to summon some help for what seems to be a big fight coming... Using his rod of empowering, he casts Sum Mon 5, bringing in Larry, the Celestial Dire Lion into the fight... He casts it so that it appears next to Skalipy, ready to pounce and rake with its claws...
(updated 2:26 CST with Larry's attacks...)
Larry lets out a huge roar and leaps towards Skalipy, pouncing and biting, trying to grab and hold Skalipy down...
Bite = Hit AC 29 for 12 dmg + Grab Claw 1 = Hit AC 29 for 9 dmg Claw 2 = Hit AC 21 for 12 dmg
IF BITE HITS, he'll try to grab Skalipy...
1. Start Grapple as Free Action w/o provoke AoO, gets +4 Bonus on Comb Manuev Chk... So gets a 21 on his roll to start a grapple...
Grab Attack RulesHighlight to display spoiler: {If a creature with this special attack hits with the indicated attack (usually a claw or bite attack), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply to use the part of its body it used in the grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a --20 penalty on its CMB check to make and maintain the grapple, but does not gain the grappled condition itself.
A successful hold does not deal any extra damage unless the creature also has the constrict special attack. If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold. Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as well (the amount is given in the creature's descriptive text).
Creatures with grab receive a +4 bonus on combat maneuver checks made to start and maintain a grapple.
Unless otherwise noted, grab works only against opponents no larger than the same size category as the creature. If the creature can use grab on sizes other than the default, this is noted in the creature's Special Attacks line.}

Snafu waited for Skalipy's response, but it was interrupted by the sudden teleportation of Snafu's companions.
His first thought was of Sharon, and her unnerving breath. She's going to have it in for me he thought. Need to try to make her think twice
"SKALIPY, SHARON AND SNAFU SURRENDER!" Snafu bluffed, but it wasn't a very good one (bluff- 7)
Seeing that his words had no affect on anyone, Snafu instead took action.
IMMAGINE DI SPECCHIO! Snafu chanted, and suddenly four more Snafu's appeared (mirror image- quickened). Instantly, he began chanting again- "RAPIDITĄ". (Haste)

OOC Ok, waited all weekend for actions and some posted. The NPCs will react to round 1 now and on Monday we can start round 2 IC Skalipy, Sharon and Cassie are slow to react as the heroes suddenly appear all around them.
Thar Summons a Celestial Lion which pounces on Skalipy, ripping into the priest and grappling him. ]Serillana opens her pack and coats her weapons with silversheen. Falmar Stands by and waits for Skalipy to regain his composure before acting. Tishe recovers from using Falmar's boots to teleport the group. Snafu at first tries to bluff a surrender, to appear on the evil priest's side. Since even he can tell that his words did not ring true, he launches into spell casting, calling on an army of duplicates and hasting his friends. Skalipy, held by the jaws of the lion calls upon the ring on his finger and is sheathed in magical force. The lion, no unable to touch the priest, slides off the Dwarf and stands facing him. ( use ring to cast Protection from Good, summoned creatures cannot touch the warded person) He then steps through the door where 2 ratkin step between him and the invaders, swords and shields readied. With a word a spectral hand comes into being ( cast quickened spectral hand) Cassie runs between the ratkin guards and stands by Skalipy's side. Sharon frees her blades and attacks Falmar from behind, missing all of her strikes. The 2 ratkin guards from the first door rush in and stand ready at Sharon's side.

Larry roars in anger as his attacks fail against Skalipy, and decides to pounce upon the nearest ratkin...
Bite Attack = Miss AC 16 Claw 1 = Hit AC 29 for 13 pts Claw 2 = Hit AC 20 for 13 pts Total = 26 pts to ratkin fighter...
As a swift action, Thar decides to use his Weapon Master ability (Cleric, War Domain) and gain the use of the "Improved Precise Shot" feat for up to 10 rounds... This allows him to ignore cover or concealment, and thus he can attack Skalipy with his bow and get past those pesky ratkin...
He aims and fires off 3 silvered arrows, trying to skewer the evil foe...
Att1 = hit AC 33 for 17 + 6 shock = 23 Att2 = Hit AC 20 for 12 + 2 shock = 14 Att3 = Hit AC 25 for 10 + 2 shock = 12 Total = 49

"Skalipy, it doesn't have to end like this... throw down your weapons!" Snafu called out, as he started casting with surprising speed.
Instantly a flash of blue light flew from Snafu's fingertips and struck Sharon. Seconds later Snafu was casting again, and another flash of blue light struck Sharon (touch AC hit- 30 and 39).
Feeling confident that Sharon was sufficiently weakened, Snafu moved into a slightly more fortified defensive position.

Tishe' holds her ground and looks about. Behind her is Falmar squaring off with a weakened Sharon. In front of her, Thar and his Celestial Lion are attacking Skalipy and his Ratkin. Snafu is creating havok in the enemy's lines with some well-placed spells, and Serallina is set for any flanking surprise attacks.
Twisting to look at the werewolf, Tishe' spellweaves a Quickened Scorching Ray that causes three rays to shoot out to sear Sharon and help Falmar.
Turning back, she casts another spell, a Targeted Dispel Magic to nullify Skalipy's Spectral Hand.
And then, unmoving, Tishe' calls upon her knowledge of spellweaving to READY a counterspell on the first magic Skalipy tries to cast!

Serillana tumbles past Sharon and strikes once at the unprepared werewolf. Her silvered dagger also meets no resistance. Snafu launches not one but two rays at Sharon. She shrugs off the worst of the rays. ( fort save 23 and 19 both saved) Tishe dispels Skalipy's spectral hand, making the priest very angry. She then fires off three bolts of fire at Sharon, hitting once for 15 damage. Thar's Lion turns and rips into one of the ratkin guards, tearing large gashes through the creatures chain shirt and savaging the flesh beneath. Thankfully the lion does not hit with the bite and does not grapple the ratkin. Thar then fires three arrows at Skalipy hitting twice ( sorry the Prot good adds 2 deflection, his AC was really 22, my bad)
Sharon turns on the halfling. howling in pain from the silver weapons of her opponents, and in a whirling display attacks with her blades ( she moves enough to gain flanking from a ratkin...what is your uncanny dodge ? can you be flanked?) Missing with all of her attacks ( unless you can be flanked) That ratkin also misses from Serillana's other side. The other ratkin on that side of the room makes a vain attempt to get Falmar off of Sharon, attacking twice with it's short sword. missing both times. The ratkin ravaged by Larry attacks the lion back. His fellow guard comes up on the lion's other side to lend a hand. ( post Larry's stats please. He is your responsibility to post and keep track of, I have enough to keep track of here.) Skalipy curses " Blasted witch! I'll fix you , see if I don't!" He then casts Disintigrate at Tishe ( You know what it is, your dispel magic will surely counter it unless you have a transmutation spell instead.) Skalipy's already horrifying visage gets even worse as his spell is counters just before reaching the witch. He calls out" SHARON! KILL THE WITCH!" Cassie turns and runs as Skalipy motions her away from combat.
Brief description update. Skalipy's face suffers from a disease only a follower of Martaeus could love. His face is a melted horror, such that anyone within 5 feet of him must save of be shaken, the save is DC15.

OOC: Unless there is something I don't know about Sharon, I think she should be at -9 strength or more; I rolled a -10 and -9 with the two rays. If she saved both she still should have taken half (-9)... that is unless I am missing something.
IC: "Throw down your weapons!" Snafu called again as he targeted Sharon with two more weakening spells.
Actions: Quickened Ray of Enfeeblement- hit touch AC 21; -7 strength (Fort DC 15 for half) Ray of enfeeblement- hit touch AC 34; -10 strength (Fort DC 15 for half)

Ray of Enfeeblement
A coruscating ray springs from your hand. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to strike a target. The subject takes a penalty to Strength equal to 1d6+1 per two caster levels (maximum 1d6+5). The subject's Strength score cannot drop below 1. A successful Fortitude save reduces this penalty by half. This penalty does not stack with itself. Apply the highest penalty instead.

The patterns dance before her eyes, every thread, every warp and weft. A twist here and the Spectral Hand dies, unknot there, and the pattern of the Disintegrate is gone in a counterspell using a Mass Enlarge Person.
"Falmar, Seralina: keep Sharon contained! Thar, you and your lion take care of Skalipy. Snafu: you are the reserve, plug any hole that needs plugging. I'll try and keep Skalipy from using any spells while you deal with this filthy den!"
Tishe' coaxes the pattern to change, and another three Scorching Rays fly out, this time to strike the Ratkin attacking Seralina!
Standing her ground and watching Skalipy, she watches the pattern to counter his next spell attempt.

Serillana weaves and dodges the blows that come from either side of her, taking a quick step to gain advantage over Sharon to strike twice with her silvered dagger.
"Oooooh! Really should be careful about this particular spot..." Serillana thinks as she lands a nice precise blow to Sharon's body.

See Larry's stats below and then I'll update his hps, etc...)
Thar continues his assault on Skalipy, and laughs at his display of anger.. "Temper, temper... I told you it'd get you in trouble someday... " he says, taunting the diseased leader...
He fires another set of arrows, trying to keep Skalipy off balance. However, Thar's laugh's affect his aim and only 1 hits true...
Arrow 1 = Hit AC 27 for 13 + 1 shock = 14 dmg Arrow 2 = Miss AC 21 Arrow 3 = Miss AC 12
Meanwhile, Larry the lion manages to shake off some of the ratkin's damage (DR 5/evil), and takes ??? dmg?
He continues roaring in anger and trying to eat the ratkin 1 for dinner...
Bite = Hits AC 20 for 8 dmg + Starts Grapple (See below notes for grapple, since lion has the feat for grappling) -> Grapple Check = 30 Claw 1 = Hit AC 24 for 12 Claw 2 = Hit AC 27 for 13

OOC You guys have no IDEA how much I detest grappling. Anyway.... IC Tishe counters Skalipy's disintegrate, saving her life and angering the priest. Her response is to light one of the ratkin on fire. The beast howls in pain but continues to attack Serillana. Falmar taunts Skalipy denying him the satisfaction of Sharon gutting Tishe by getting in the way. He strikes Sharon twice more, her tainted blood pooling at her feet. Snafu further confuses things by summoning ANOTHER celestial lion which pounces on Sharon. Due to her weakened state she is grappled by the beast. ( darn you...) Serillana gets in two more good pokes with her dagger, one striking a particularly tender place on Sharon. ]b]Thar[/b] fires more arrows at Skalipy, sinking one into the dwarf. His Lion continues to maul the ratkin, and bears it to the floor. The ratkin begins mewling as the lion shreds and gnaws on it.
Skalipy takes Falmar's words to heart and screams" To the Machine!" He then slams the door, putting it between himself and the counter spelling Tishe. From behind the door can be heard more shouted orders, spellcasting and then just the jingling of harness as more ratkin apparently form on the far side of the door. Sharon, grappled and surrounded does what comes naturally and allows Serillana and Falmar an AoO. She then disappears when her boots of teleporting kick in. ( the lion gets no AoO because he is grappling)
The ratkin, low level, but loyal guards, do what they can to cover their commander's escapes. At the door the ungrappled ratkin stabs at Larry, scoring two more hits for 18 damage total. The grappled ratkin bites Larry, he bites the celestial lion for 4 points of damage. The wound looks serious and were he not a summoned creature soon to return to the positive plane he called home, you are certain he would be fighting some kind of disease. In the back of the room, the other two ratkin turn on Falmar, since they gain nothing from flanking Serillana. One of the attackers slides his shortsword between the links of Falmar's armor and scores a blow that would have clearly done more damage if the ratkin had just driven a bit deeper.( hit AC 31 crit not confirmed for 6 damage)

ooc: DR 5/evil means that the Celestial Lion gets damage resistance 5 against all physical attacks except those whose attacks carry the evil descriptor (not just evil alignment). Just like holy attacks, usually only incredibly evil creatures or unholy spells create evil attacks. Ergo, Larry should be able to have its DR vs the rats. :-) In the future, that is. ...............
"Piggies!" shouts Tishe', one of her most profane oaths. And the worst is knowing more precious seconds will be lost as Sharon and Skalipy recover and run for this 'machine' of thiers while the little ratkin use resources and time. "Piggie Poop!"
Holding her staff, she delays any actions to allow her packmates to deal with the ratkin, and watches the door, hoping it will open so she can throw a fireball into the misguided, insane Skalipy!

OOC: I forgot to add Augmented Summoning on my first three rolls, so it was really a hit on the first attack, but still a miss on the third.
"One more Lion then, for good luck?" Snafu joked as he started casting, summoning yet another Lion.
Snafu directed his lions to attack the remaining ratkins, and they responded in kind. The first lion grabbed the nearest ratkin with its jaw and one of its claws, and with a heavy attempted to throw it to the ground. Meanwhile, the newly summoned lion appeared behind the ratkin fighting Falmar and attacked with its bite and claws. The ratkin managed to block the bit but was not so lucky with the claws.
"Yo Ratties!" Snafu called out. "Unless you want to be lion food I suggest you throw down your weapons and kiss the ground! Afterall, Sharon obviously could care less about you, so why should you give up your life for her cause?" (diplomacy 24)

He sees them wear sad expressions since all they have is dehumanizing numbers... So sad.... Anyway, Larry continues grappling and biting at the ratkin, trying to finish it off for good... (With DR, I think he has 13 pts of dmg so far... Let me know if that's off...) ...

DM David the rules should be the same. Part of the reason to go to Pathfinder was to get rid of the HORRIBLE Woldian grapple rules. Well horrible for most people. Those built around them were just stupidly hard to fight.

Both Falmar and Serillana hit as Sharon tries to activate her boots. The werewolf lies motionless as both of their blades bite deeply enough to spill her lifeblood on the stone. She returns to her human state, calm and still in death. Larry kills his ratkin (it was nearly done when the grapple started). he then turns to it's partner. Thar Helps Larry out with a well placed arrow into the ratkin. Snafu calls to the ratkin to surrender, to which they reply" NO!! Skalipy made us special, made us strong. We owe him to keep you bad people from hurting him!" In response Snafu's Lions begin mauling the ratkin.
Just then, the ratkin building their numbers on the far side of the door burst it open. Tishe thinks for a split second, but seeing no one she wants to save of the far side of the door she launches the fireball she had been holding onto from her staff. The ratkin, just now seeing what they are up against squeak in horror, then in pain as the fire consumes them.
OOC Within one round, two at the most the ratkin in the room will all be dead. I see no reason to drag that out since it is pretty inevitable, they are just here to get in your way. So, consider them dead. The crispy critters on the far side of the door are likewise no longer among the living.
Zach Ramage will be joining our game. Please welcome him, he should be posting sometime after I finish this. There is of course no reason to immediately trust him, just do what comes to your characters naturally, that goes for you as well Zack. I don't think trust will be an issue after a moment or two.

Pulling her twin blades out of the ratkin, Kahlan ponders how many more of the creatures she will encounter. She silently lowers the body of the ratkin to the ground. "How many does that make now?" she thinks. Another one down before it ever had the chance to raise the alarm. Stealth is her only ally in this place. "Who ever is behind this will pay for Johns death." she thinks quietly. John Trimmack was a good man, the man that gave her the second chance that saved her life. Finding him dead had been what she was afraid of, yet she knew it was the most likely outcome. Justice will be served.
Pressing on to the main chamber, Kahlan is nearly there when she hears the alarm raised. She immediately stops, thinking herself discovered, yet after a few seconds she realizes the sound is more than just an alarm. The sound is that of a full scale battle, there must be at least twenty, maybe even twenty-five combatants from the sound of it.
Kahlan continues, silent as a wraith, her dark mithril armor nearly invisible against the dark stone of the hallways. Upon reaching the chamber however, Kahlan sees five humanoids who don't seem to belong. She prepares to charge in to combat, yet upon seeing the fireball drop and all of the remaining ratkin perish, she decides that at least they aren't allies of who ever is behind the death of her friend. While still hiding in the shadows, Kahlan calls out. "Are you friend or foe? Seeing what you have done to the aberrations, I hope friend."

Not quite sure where the voice is coming from, Serillana then listens to the words of the new person and just stands there thinking. "She seems nice, but it's such a weird place to first meet...
Serillana silently watches the situation developing, placing her dagger back into it's sheath, showing that she doesn't want to fight. She knows that she can just move off and hide, and figure out what to do then if this goes all sour.

The door opens and Tishe' releases her Fireball at the Ratkin, flames and a blast of heat deals with most of them. Looking about the room, the few left will be dealt with by the lions, and a smile comes over her face with Sharon returning to human form. But they have still a very dangerous man who is still at large, and the dagger given to her by Blackhand is still dry.
A voice from the shadows brings the woman's head up. "Are you friend or foe? Seeing what you have done to the aberrations, I hope friend." Tishe' looks, but she is not the most perceptive, and she can't see the source of the voice, and the witch fears it is another delaying tactic of Skalipy.
"We don't have time, packmates, we need to find where Skalipy has gone. Thar, have your lions lead into the tunnel, we'll follow. Falmar, you keep our rear. If the voice is a real person, deal with them as you see fit. Let's go!"

Snafu was a bit caught off guard when he spotted the human slipping from shadow to shadow with such proficiency (perception check 40). She's good... very good.
Then came the greeting, which confused Snafu at first.
"My Snafu sense tells me that she's alright" he muttered aloud before saying in a louder voice- "If you've come to serve Skalipy and the Ratties justice soup, then we're friend"
Snafu kept a sideways glance on the female stranger as he started casting yet another summoning spell, but this one he dropped in the room ahead. "I will call you Linda!" he said as the third lion appeared.

Kahlan, upon hearing the half-elf mention serving justice to the ratkin, steps out of the shadows, making herself visible to all. She is a stunningly beautiful human female clad in a dark colored breastplate, long dark brown hair pulled back in a ponytail and green eyes darting as if searching for something. She holds a well crafted scimitar in her right hand and a nearly identical kukri in her left. Both glow with a soft holy light until they are slid into their scabbards.
"I do not know this name, Skalipy, but if he is the fiend behind all of this, he will taste my blades just as his ratkin pawns have. My name is Kahlan. If you will have me, I'll join you, at least long enough to see Skalipy fall."

Falmar pauses from the slaughter and concentrates on calling Dondit to his side...
Before rushing for the door he kneels down and ensures that Sharon is truly dead.
You have too many tricks, can't trust you even when dead. May the Grey God judge you...
With that said Falmar stands and heads for the door, pausing to watch the interplay between the newcomer and Snafu. He glances behind him as a long tongue smothers the back of his neck with slobber, and something recently eaten....
Falmar quickly Detect's Evil focusing on the newcomer.
" She is no threat...at least not to us... We have to catch Skalipy, everyone follow the lions! We'll guard the rear"
DM David--- In the Halls of the Tested --- Friday April 29th, 2011 4:53:55 PM
Dondit indeed heeds his master's call and obediently appears just behind Falmar. Dondit is a Bounder. He is a giant toad big enough to ride and nasty enough to give anyone second thoughts about attacking him. Upon Falmar's examination he is satisfied that Sharon is indeed dead. Looking with the gaze of his diety upon the newcomer shows Falmar there is nothing remotely evil in her. Looking with the gaze of one who has seen what Sharon and Skalipy can do shows him another person dedicated to stopping this horror show.
Kahlan, upon seeing the dead Sharon is reminded by the knives Sharon wields of the many shallow, bleeding wounds John had suffered when she found him. Knives like those would inflict just those kind of wounds. Everything in this place reeks of disease. Maybe because John was a paladin and immune to such things he had simply been tortured to death by this woman. But why? What possible motive would the woman have had to kill a paladin of Domi in such a degrading, demoralizing manner?
There are two exits to this new room. Kahlan can point to one of them and certify that it is free of enemies to the outside terrain, since she cleared it herself as she crept into the stronghold.That leaves one doorway leading deeper into the structure. The lions, without the benefit of thumbs stand at the door waiting for one of their masters to open the door and loose them on the hunt for the spellcaster that ran away.
OOC I'll recap for Zach my running style here. I generally like to post when I get home from work, around 4-5 PM EST. Barring that I post after dinner around 7-8PM EST. I am generally not going to be upright and thinking hard enough to post after that because I have to get up early to get to work. I like to have everyone post before I move things along. In combat I try really hard to make that happen, but if I don't get to bed I will be one grumpy guy in the morning so I'll skip that days post if I have to.I am map impaired. Therefore I will verbally describe the fight and I give everyone the benefit of the doubt for AOE spells and AoO and the like. Describe how you wanted your spell, attack ect to work and if I can see it happen in my little brain it probably will go that way This is the last scene ( except maybe for some wrap up after the fighting) in this module. You will all be happy to know that Jerry is hard at work on the next module. It will have a very different flavor I think, from what I have seen. Edd ( Yanosh) will not be coming back from the looks of it. Zack is here to make your group 6 and Yves will be joining from the Grey Knights when they retire later this year to make you 7 players. In other news Dai will be coDMing another game so I will be your main DM. If you have any issues, You want to join a specific group, you hate how I am doing something, You love how I am doing something, whatever, send me an email at gorechylde2003@yahoo.com and we wll resolve it. Don't let it build up and make you not enjoy the Wold. That said my OOC is now longer than my in game post. Falmar will be out of town from 5/2 to 5/10. Would someone else be up to NPCing him for that period? You guys will have the best chance of making him seem to still be Falmar, instead of Falmar on autopilot like in The Gamers since you know how he acts and reacts to things from long association. Have a great weekend

ooc: Yay Zach, welcome to Sunrise Song! :-)
With Kahlan lowering her guard, stepping out where everyone can see her and introducing herself, Tishe' becomes a lot less suspicous. A different disapproving glint is in her eye as soon as she gets a good look at the stranger, but, taking a visible second, she does not air her concerns. Instead, the short, slightly overweight human woman with severe skin boils and a nose that looks like it wants to slide off her face gives a short nod. "Well come to the Cinnamon Protectors. I am Tishe', and we are going through that door to give chase to the high priest of this den." The mercurial attention span of the witch comes into play, and Tishe' stabs a finger at Seralina.
"Seralina, check for traps and locks on the door. Thar be ready to assist her to open it up. Skalipy has had too much of a head start and needing to be careful will slow us down even more. Good work on Sharon, Falmar, and don't forget to take those boots off her feet and collect her swords before we go. We can't have the ratkin or other minions taking them before we get back."
While waiting, Tishe' weaves the ley patterns to give her Arcane Sight, first looking for magical traps on the door, and then pointing out all the magic items on Sharon and any ratkin for them to take. She announces anything she finds to the group in order to not waste any time.

Seeing that it will be a few moments before the group sets out, Kahlan makes here way to the beast known as Sharon and searches her body. "Why would you do such a thing?" She thinks in silence.
Afterwards she will help search the door and passage way for traps.
Before the party sets out she will say. "I am uncertain how your group does things and I don't wish to interfere, but where in your formation would you like me to stand?"
If asked she will mention that she is comfortable scouting ahead, taking point, or bring up the rear.
Perception: 26 (to search Sharon's body.) Perception: 21 (to search for traps.) Before she sets out, she will cast Magic Weapon, Greater twice, once on each of her weapons. Stealth: 37 (for when the party sets out down the corridor.)
Effects: Magic Weapon, Greater x2 (11 Hours)

Once someone opens the door, Thar orders the pack of lions to lead the way through, ready to pounce and work for their next meal... His bow is ready as always...
Also, Thar nods at the newcomer, briskly appraising her to ensure she doesn't need any healing. "If you're an enemy of those we're fighting, then welcome. I'm Thar ail Baerer, priest of YHWH and resident scout and healer for our group... As to where to stand, I'll defer that to Tishe'... Once this fight is over, we can spend time socializing..."

Falmar grabs the swords and boots and anything else that Tishe' points out.
He would make a faster time if he didn't have to constantly smack around Dondit.
" NO! DO NOT eat those ! I don't want to know what you eat when I can't see it, but Ratkin are not food! , and don't think just because your tongue reaches the floor that I don't know that you're tasting them anyway !
Wish you would stop smiling at me when you're in trouble, makes me think you understand what I'm telling you. ..
To Kahlam "We could use some more muscle up front, that pick's a spinner, just keep them from cutting Tishe' and Snafu's threads, and we'll come out on top

"Yup, I'll go and do that." Serillana says quickly and she checks the door for any traps/locks that Skalipy could've set.
Great... Another sneaker... Serillana thinks as she audibly sighs.
"I'm Serillana, Let's get out of this predicament that we have at this particular moment first before I say any more about myself." She says while staring at the door for a while.

Tishe' (AC 26 HP 107/107 Monday May 2nd, 2011 1:05:26 PM
Tishe' nods at Kahlan. "Up front is fine, but Seralina is in charge up there with you and Thar assisting."
The witch looks at Snafu and Falmar and gives them a nod as well. If Kahlan is a plant, her packmates will ensure the pretty girl doesn't survive the expirience.
"Keep moving. Get that door open and lets find Skalipy's machine before he causes more grief. And if we can capture Cassie and any other turned children, there may be a way to purify them once we get home."
DM David--- In the Halls of the Tested --- Monday May 2nd, 2011 5:15:08 PM
Tishe's sight notes the strong magic on many of Sharon's items, no wonder she was such a terror for the others to find and fight. Detecting as magic are her Boots Both Kukri Bracers 2 rings a brooch a cloak ( that i forgot to use, blast it) Neither Serillana nor Snafu find any traps on the door They open it and the entire pride of Celestial lions tear off down the hall. The smell of decay and death are nor less prevalent here than anywhere else in the stronghold. Moments tick by as you try to keep up with the lions. Ahead you hear a loud roar and the sound of Squealing ratkin. By the time you round the corner you find the lions finishing off a patrol of ratkin. The hallways are starting to look like more recent construction, with straight lines and what looks to be clearly magically created stone. Finally You reach a large Iron door set into the end of the hallway. From behind it come the sounds, smells and heat of a forge room. Also from behind it comes the shouted orders of the mad dwarven priest, Skalipy.
OOC 5 minutes have passed from Skalipy slamming the door and running. please adjust your cast spells accordingly. You have also had several minutes while not fighting to talk to one another and come up with a plan, learn more about each other, ect. You have overcome several more patrols, all of them have been the low level fanatics you faced while fighting Skalipy before. Fair warning, the ones inside will be tougher than those low level ones. Skalipy mentioned the ratkin were created as a result of some of the subjects failing one of the tests, so they could come in almost any size or HD, based on their original stock. Take a day or two to roleplay, refresh your spells, do what you have to and let me know when you open the doors. Skalipy is now ready for visitors. Also is anyone going to post for Falmar? He said he can post from his phone, though I am not sure how easy or hard that will be for him. Heck I have carried on combats over the phone with a friend posting for me while I was working overnights in NYC and had no internet access because I am a dinosaur and don't use a cell phone 8). That was as a player though, I can't IMAGINE doing it as a DM.
Tishe' (AC 32 HP 107/107)(AlterSelf, Barkskin, Arcane Sight) d100=36 ; d100=79 ; d100=95 ; d20+16=21 ; Tuesday May 3rd, 2011 7:07:39 AM
The group gets to the door, the last door, the door that the evil, misguided, insane Skalipy is behind. These last 5 minutes have been enough time to get used to Kahlan. Tishe' now understands her motivation, that she is seeking revenge for John, a paladin companion, who was slowly tortured to death by Sharon. Kahlan in turn, has been told that the dead Sharon was only a servant to Skalipy, a priest of Marteus. The Cinnamon Protectors have come here to stop a children kidnapping ring and discovered something worse: Skalipy deliberately tortures the kidnapees, exposing them to diseases and concoctions. He calls it "Testing", and is happy when someone survives because they are stronger. This also seems to be the religion of a mad northern godling called Marteus.
And the Cinnamon Protectors are going to stop this now.
While they walk, Tishe' casts then walks, casts then walks. This allows enough time for the scouts to rid the hallway of pests and watch for traps and enables Tishe' to buff herself and her companions. Soon, the witch looks like a Goblin with thick leathery skin (Barkskin, Alter Self). "Perhaps Skalipy won't be able to immediately target me this way", she says, "and it affords me a measure of protection."
Tishe' can also give a +5 natural AC barkskin to the first two heroes who ask for it.
At the door, the Witch retrieves a bag and brings forth a Large Warhorse. "Guard" she tells the animal, and it obiediently stands behind Tishe' ready to attack any enemy that comes near.
"OK, Seralina and Kahlan, check for traps and locks, then open that door. Falmar and Dondit go in first, with Thar and Kahlan flanking him left and right. Snafu and Seralina you scoot along the wall until you can attack. I'm in last and I'll be trying to counterspell anything Skalipy can thow at us. Be ready for other directions, as there may be magical machines we need to wreck in here."
Tishe' Readies herself to counterspell the first casting she can see Skalipy do.

Snafu had a really good feeling about Kahlan and was happy to have one more able body to fight against Skalipy.
Unfortunately not long after all four lions disappeared, which lessened the odds for Snafu and his companions. This is it Snafu! he told himself. No sense in holding anything back now... except maybe one teleportation spell in case things go bad.
"Like Tishe, I have several spells that can be of assistance" Snafu explained. "Spells to bolster your defenses and improve your defenses... just let me know what you need"
Actions: 1) Snafu will summon at least one Lion prior to entering the room. (two if he still have both of his 4th level spells after buffing his allies). 2) See OOC below.
OOC: Strategy -Snafu probably isn't the best candidate for Barkskin, but he'd be happy to take it if it doesn't serve anyone else. -Snafu is willing to cast the following spells for those that need it- Reduce Person (Sherilanna?), Mage Armor, Protection from evil, mirror image, false Life, blur, heroism (1 only), haste (1 only), Greater Invisibility (Sherillana?) -I've also have some scrolls that might be of use- Silence, Obscuring Mist, and Bless weapon. Perhaps cast silence on someone that can get close to Skalipy? Perhaps use obscuring mist to help us gain entrance to the room?

He also looks over each person and if anyone needs healing, provides it... (All PC's.. please make sure your hps are accurate on your header, so Thar can heal you...... For now, he won't use any of his channel energy's to heal, since they affect large groups rather than individuals...
Once they're at the doorway, Thar checks himself, makes sure everything's in order and right before they go through...

OOC: Kahlan would normally love to have the Barkskin, or the Haste, or even the False Life, but there are two reasons I'll say you receives no buffs this time. 1). She is new and would feel selfish taking buffs when she has yet to prove herself. 2). I would like to get an idea of where she stands as a build, see what her limitations are unbuffed. I hope this isn't an issue.
DM David--- In the Halls of the Tested --- Tuesday May 3rd, 2011 7:26:55 PM
Serillana begins searching the door and surroundings for traps. As she approaches the door she sees a faint outline that covers an area 15 feet before the door, going right up to the face of the door.She is able to hear muffled conversations behind the door, mostly sounding like one person arranging others and instructing them. The door has a lock on it and Serillana can tell even from 15 feet away that it is locked. She also sees a faint tracing of lines on the door that she knows is some kind of harmful glyph. Tishe can confirm that the glyph and other spell ( I'll assume you cannot fail to spellcraft a first level alarm spell on the floor) is there with her Arcane Sight. Tishe is also able to see a similar glyph traced on the floor just inside the door ( enough of a gap exists under the door to see this) Thar's Archon and Snafu's Lion stand ready, awaiting their orders( remember the Archon is at least as smart as your average tax collector, and can take fairly complex instructions.) Dondit looks on quietly, licking his chops and looking at the lion. What does summoned celestial lion taste like? is written all over his face.
OOC I have the bad guys ready. They are awaiting the alarm it seems so they MAY not know you are there yet. I suspect that in a round or 2 at the most the Lion will alert them to your presence.

Let me be clear... You wait seven rounds just outside his door spellcasting before you pop the door and charge. At no time does anyone go into the Alarm spell while that is going on, and the Archon and Lion just kinda sit there telling jokes to each other. Ok, got it, I'll post after dinner.
DM David--- In the Halls of the Tested --- Wednesday May 4th, 2011 7:17:24 PM
Looking at the summoning spells. How do you summon a Bralani azata on the summon monster 5 table with a summon monster 4 spell? Also by whom, how and when is the door being unlocked and opened? Also mark off your spells once they are cast ( Snafu if I am reading the parenthesis right before your spells you didn't mark the list above off, possibly waiting for me to say yep they all go off, they do. I just need an explanation of how you get the Bralani )

OOC: Apparently I was dropped on my head several times as a kid... change the summoning to a Bison, who will lead the charge and use the trample attack to clear a path for us... that is if he doesn't get sizzled on the way in.
I think I've marked off all of my spells. The first number is how many spells I have left, not how many I have cast. So if it says "1/7" it means I have one of my seven spells left (six have been cast). In other words, I am starting to run very low on all of my spells except my 2nd round spells.

Tishe' (AC 32 HP 107/107)(AlterSelf, Barkskin, Arcane Sight) Thursday May 5th, 2011 10:01:14 AM
OK, that's what we do. 1. Use Ranged Legerdemain to untrap/unlock the door. 2. With Tishe' identifying the Glyph, is there a way to not trigger or untrap the Glyph? 3. Falmar is our strongest member. Without an intelligent summoned creature with opposable thumbs, Falmar will have to race forward and jerk open the door. He will best be able to withstand any effects, and then the rest of us can restore him. 4. As a slight re-set, it makes no sense to summon the creatures until we are just abou tready to rush the door
As he noted before, he waits until the last possible second to summon Horus, and have the Aid cast upon itself.. (At will power)... If we need the door opened by someone, Horus would be the optimum choice since he's the expendable one...

At range, Snafu manages to pop the lock open. With a nod from Thar, the Hound Archon strides forward and lays his hands on the door. While doing this he steps into the area warded by the Alarm spell. This sets off a warning in the forge room. You hear spells being cast in response to this warning. The hound pushes the door open and takes a step forward. The first glyph, on the door, causes a firey explosion ( I will assume that no one is RIGHT in the hound's heels and avoid the blast, same for the second one) The step triggers a blast of sonic energy around the Archon. Both the fire and sound leave the hound unharmed since they failed to penetrate his SR (hmmm, my dice are clearly broken). The hound keeps going into the room drawing his greatsword. The room is about 100 feet deep and 50 feet wide. Dual forges occupy the right and left hand walls and this is the onlt room where brimstone and hot metal smells overpower the smells of disease and death that pervade the rest of the stronghold. In the back of the room can be seen a huge machine. Many obviously intricate parts glisten in the light thrown by the forges. It is made of steel with copper tubes and brass fittings all over it's surface. If Skalipy made this himself he must be a master craftsman and have spent years working on this device alone. Chained to the wall near the machine is a man with the look of a nobleman. He is gaunt from hunger, his clothes are mere rags now and he appears to have been recently beaten. Despite all of this his eyes rise to meet yours as the door opens and you can see he still harbors hope that someone has come to his aid. 20 feet inside the doors stand two more of Skaipy's ratkin. These two were apparently once ogres or giants before they failed the mad priests tests and became Ratkin. They are huge. They stand ten feet apart and block your advance into the room. Behind them stands 5 more ratkin. One, obviously a skilled swordsman wears a breastplate and carries a longsword and shield. Slightly behind him are 2 ratkin in robes, apparently some kind of spellcasters. Behind them are 2 more ratkin wearing chain shirts with shields, short swords and light crossbows on their backs. All of the shields bear the mark of Mataeus. Tishe notices with her arcane sight that all of the opponents are covered in preparatory spells. Behind the ratkin stands Skalipy. Madness shines in his eyes and he calls to his minions. " Those who would stop our lord's testing have arrived. Ignore the creatures they have summoned against you and destroy the nonbelievers!" As he says this the Archon takes his second step into the room and the huge ratkin act. They each take a short step toward the center of the room and forward toward the door and then they swing their massive greatswords with blinding speed at the Archon. They connect with 5 of their six blows and the Archon falls to the ground, dismembered and then disappears( as all summoned critters do when they die) The weapons the ratkin used seemed to have no problem damaging the Archon. Kahlan darts forward and dodges both of the AoO form the Ratkin and slices the right one for what should be a solid blow. It turns out that the strike causes a mere scratch to the creature, while the flash of holy damage seems to hurt it fully. She then tumbles past the Huge Ratkin and toward the spellcaster on the right, regaining her feet right in front of the humanoid. Skalipy casts a spell which Tishe counters ( DC17 to identify it as Glitterdust)

Tishe' is glad the summoned Archon ran in first, and promises Sargrass to make a feng shui memorial to the creature when they get back to the tower. But she has to concentrate on the task at hand, and the witch tries to reduce the number of opponents that can cast spells.
Calling upon the power of Sargrass, Tishe' implores for a Wall of Thorns to grow up underneath the ratkin magicians and clerics. The finger-long thorns on wiry vines rises to the cieling and pierces the ratkin so they will be further hurt if they even move!
And then the goblin-looking witch keeps her eyes on Skalipy, looking to Counterspell the next thing he tries again.

Thar, AC 27, 124/124, McVE, Spell Res 23 10d6=32 ; Friday May 6th, 2011 9:28:29 AM
Thar rolls his eyes as he receives a messenger spell from the summoned monsters local union #111. "Another grievance?" he asks,shaking his head in amazement at the whining letter. "This is the fifth or sixth I've received this month, and If they have time to think and write these up, they're not working hard enough." He tries to think of a pithy response to the grievance but ends up writing something about them getting back to work and stop complaining...
He moves into the room, staying near the back of the party...
Changing his attention to the fight, he smiles and says, "I've been waiting to do this for while..." and using his Rod of Empowerment to boost up the spell, casts Flame Strike, trying to hit as many of the enemy as possible. He won't try to hit the clerics and wizards inside the wall of thorns, but will try to get the max amount of enemies somewhere else...... (10' radius, 40' high)... 32 pts * 1.5 (for rod) = 48 pts dmg (24 is fire, 24 is divine)... Reflex vs DC22 for 1/2 dmg

Snafu smiled ear-to-ear when he saw the wall of thorns appear. I know just what to do he thought as he reached into his trusted Haversack and drew out a scroll.
"Silento maintaino" Snafu read, and suddenly the thorny area where the enemy spellcasters were positioned went silent.
Meanwhile, Snafu urged his Bison to attack.
Actions: 1) Move action- draw silent scroll 2) Standard action- Silent spell- use magic device (DC20)- success- 36. 20' radius with no save because I will centre it on a point of space. Trying to catch as many enemy spellcasters in the radius without getting any of our spellcasters in the radius.
3) Bison attack- ideally the Bison will move around the thorns and attack anyone that backs out of the thorns. Failing that it will simply attack head on... ideally without entering the thorns. Not sure how much control I have here, but the Bison has a trample attack and smite attack, both of which are preferred. Not sure, how you want to handle animal summonings... should I direct it or should you?

DM David--- In the Halls of the Tested --- Friday May 6th, 2011 4:21:17 PM
Tishe. Gimme some kinda idea how deep the wall you cast is and how wide. Let me be more specific about your targets. 2 ratogres stand 15 feet inside the door. They are Huge (15x15)and have 10 feet between them( each stands 5 feet fro the center line of the room. 1 swordsman standing just behind(5 feet) the ratogres, centered. 2 spellcasters , standing just behind(5 feet) the swordsman. They are 10 feet from the walls 2 priests standing just behind the spellcasters (5 feet) They are inline with the spellcasters/. Skalipy standing 55 feet into the room, centered.
Falmar which side did you send the lightning bolt through, right or left? Kahlen is on the right and could be caught on that side so I will assume left unless you correct me.
Thar... LOL on keeping up with the Summoned monsters guild thing. Their lawyers will be in touch soon.
Tishe' (AC 32 HP 107/107)(AlterSelf, Barkskin, Arcane Sight) Friday May 6th, 2011 9:29:28 PM
Tishe's thought is the wellarmored opponents and ratogres will be immune to her wall, so the wall is only against the rat casters. It encloses the 4 casters (4 squares=10 foot square) and the 4 squares to the wall (10 foot square) and reaches to the cieling (however far is that) to complete the spell.
I'm thinking that the casters should take 25 damage minus thier AC (not to include dex or dodge) from the thorns growing up around them, and then, if they can to a Strength check of 25, they can move the 5 feet it would take to get out of the Wall (with 25 more damage) and then are free to do whatever they want. And if they can't get out of the Wall, then they are stuck, unmoving. :-)

Falmar indeed sends his lightning bolt to the left attempting to avoid "burning the new guy" .. as he approaches the left ogre he urges Dondit to watch his left and work around the ogre.
Dondit, notices that the calve muscles of the ogre things look stunningly delicious.
He moves to the left keeping away from the ogre and bounds around his left. (Intent is moving to flank in the next round.

Serillana runs into the room and tumbles past the ratkin, knowing that she is invisible and can pretty much do what she wants. She moves into a position where she is within 30ft of the right ratkin priest. and quickly lets off a bullet.
It's nice to be able to run into a room without being noticed Serillana thinks as she spins once hitting the ratkin.

OOC In the future please feel free to direct your summonings. They are there to serve you to the best of their ability. The only thing I might have to control would be aplanar ally, since they arrive body and soul and can die on this plane.Otherwise they are all yours to command. IC Tishe Casts a Wall of thorns on the spellcasters. This wall cuts the room in half leaving the 2 rat ogres and the swordsman on this side of the wall and Skalipy on the other, with the spellcasters and Kahlan caught in the middle inside the thorn growth.
Please take your damage Kahlan it is 25 minus your AC with no bonus from dodge, haste or dex.
At the same time, Falmar fires off a lightning bolt up the left side of the room, hitting the ratogre, and both the Spellcaster and cleric on that side as it slams into the machine, melting some of the components. Skalipy does not sound happy. The Ratkin shrug off some of the damage( please include what I need to roll a save)
Thar steps into the room and drops a pillar of holy fire on the ratogres and weaponmaster. All three take the spell fully, but only look slightly damaged.
Snafu casts silence on the thorns, stopping the screams of the spellcasters from being heard. Also silencing Kahlen.
Serillana planned to go after the ratkin priest on the right, but when her target was covered in a wall of thorns that almost got her too she decided to use her sling on the Ratogre on the right instead ( It was better than you twiddling your thumbs) She throws a mean sling bullet into the Ratogre, missing the brute due to the shimmering Blur around it.
Kahlan calls upon her god and her blade blossoms into an inferno. Turning to the spellcaster she begins swinging and finishes with a pile of ratkin at her feet wearing the remains of a robe. The priest behind it looks on in mute terror, unable to help his fallen brother.
Finally Snafu's Bison gets a running start and, knowing better than to charge anything as huge as the ratogres, chooses to charge the weaponmaster. Almost as soon as it starts moving the ratogres respond by each taking an AoO at the beast. ( as I read it the Imp Bull rush prevents AoO from the target. The Bison still is moving through alot of threatened squares to get to the Ratkin) It skids to a halt at the weaponmaster's feet.
The weaponmaster looks down at the bison and sniffs as it disappears to its home plane. Looking up he says" You know, them summoned beasties have as much chance of hurting us as a snowflake does existing in a forge right? Lads? Fish the others out of those thorns. I doubt any of them is strong enough to wriggle out on their own. That's a right big froggy you have there. Pray tell what does it eat? Ahh well, no matter, I think the lads will have a good time eating those big froglegs. My orders are to kill the one with the squashed in face. As I don't see one of those, I guess I can kill any one of you I like. Now then, who's first? " With blinding speed the ratkin rushes forward and gets in Falmar's face. His shield skills are superb and his blade snakes out to strike at Falmar. The power of his swing makes him miss. A thin smile crosses his face. " Oh you have some skills with the blade then? Able to avoid me if I put my back into it are you? Well then sonny, lets see what you have." The Ratogres each turn around and thrust their arms into the Wall of Thorns. If there wasn't a silence over the area you are sure you would hear shrieks as the priests are pulled free of the wall. The Ratogres get a grip on them this round but are unable to pull them free, yet. Hidden behind the wall, Skalipy casts a spell.

ooc: I'm pretty sure that even if a creature is moving out of multiple threatened squares, it is still only one AOO from the opponent whose threatened square it is moving from. And I read the Imp Bull Rush the same way, only the target gets no AOO.

Tishe' winces, the Wall of Thorns was not supposed to go across the whole room or get Kahlan in its clutches; only the ratcasters! She is going to have to be more careful in the future with her new-found powers from Sargrass! Still the effect has mostly done its job, keeping the multi-casters from overwhelming her companions.
"The ratogres are well-protected, but the rat-faced forgemaster is the key. Beware, Forgemaster, for your Doom is at hand!" Tishe' reaches for the ley lines to complete her Quickened spell, but the fickle lines snap away and cause the spell to be lost!
Not wanting to give up, Tishe' tries another spell, this time on the nearest rat-ogre. "I suggest that you grab your Forgemaster and run away; he is in trouble!"

Thar looks at the combatives and contnues focusing on the forgemaster... so he continues using his Weapon Master ability to get the Improved Precise Shot feat, letting him get past the thorns and other things giving Skalipy any degree of cover...
(OOC for DM - I can't tell if Skalipy has total cover or not from your post... If he DOES have total cover, then I'm NOT going to target him and instead will attack the left spellcaster, since I can ignore partial cover due to the feat... If Skalipy DOES NOT have total cover, then I'll attack him...)

OOC Serillana, all of the melee opponents have Blur on them, and the Ratogres and priests also have entropic shield. Out of curiosity, I have never seen the part that says a miss chance negates sneak attack. Where can I find that? Thanks, I learned something valuable on that 8).
As far as the wall goes you wanted it to go floor to ceiling and from the casters to the walls, I filled the gap between the casters to keep the wall from being 2 separate walls.
Who is this Forgemaster? A lot of people keep attacking him. I have a list of opponents at the bottom of my posts and it is pretty clear. Please use those terms. Thar clarified the forgemaster part so I know who he means. Yes Thar, the way I read it the back part of the room is behind a 10' deep wall of thorns that goes to the ceiling, and wall to wall. That makes it impossible to see Skalipy to shoot him or to counterspell him. Aside from my casters dying and being caught up the wall worked out for me. Below I will post the text for Haste. I have seen it misinterpreted twice today, (not just here, rest easy) so I am posting the text. I underlined the important part. Kahlan's movement is only 5' so it won't matter. her attack is still a full attack. Additionally I apologize, I thought off hand weapons required a full attack action as well, and they do not. Falmar avoided the shield slam he should have gotten last round due to this.
DESCRIPTION
The transmuted creatures move and act more quickly than normal. This extra speed has several effects.
When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with any weapon he is holding. The attack is made using the creature's full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (This effect is not cumulative with similar effects, such as that provided by a speed weapon, nor does it actually grant an extra action, so you can't use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round.)
A hasted creature gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. Any condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses.
All of the hasted creature's modes of movement (including land movement, burrow, climb, fly, and swim) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the subject's normal speed using that form of movement. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature's jumping distance as normal for increased speed. Multiple haste effects don't stack. Haste dispels and counters slow.
I have a fundraiser for the school tonight, I expect I'll be able to post after that. I also need Falmar's post... Are you back from the land of Mice yet?

Tishe attempts to doom her opponents, only to have the magic of the Wold slip away from her.
Kahlan attempts to break free from the thorns, only to be held fast by them ( need a str check, for each 5 over 20 you can move one square, I rolled a 7 for you. you can roll your own chance each round as you try to free yourself.) and takes 3 more damage.The rat ogre is too far away for her attacks, but the priest in the ogre's grip is handy. He opens his mouth to scream as his life is slashed away, but no sound is heard from him.
Snafu fires off 2 scorching rays at the Left hand Rat ogre. One connects but the other misses the creature's blurry outline. The creature takes damage from only 1 ray(They are separate attacks, please roll damage separately)
Thar fires his bow. Firing off a volley of arrows at the left side spellcaster. 2 of his 3 arrows hit, Killing the ratkin. Serillana fires 4 sling bullets at the right hand ratogre 3 of the 4 hit, the last one does real damage, removing the creatures stoneskin spell.
Falmar swings back at the weaponsmaster, hitting twice (AC31 hits I rolled the damage) Very little of the damage comes through however.
Skalipy casts another spell out of sight and sound behind the wall. The right side Ratogre drops the dead cleric and swings at Kahlan with his greatsword. His first 2 swings connect, one critically for a total of 86 damage. The left side priest reaches into his belt and points a wand at the ratogre holding him. The ratogre looks better. The left side Ratogre attempts to once again free his priest. Again he fails and gives up. Dropping the priest. He looks around, ( will save 14)confused, looking for Skalipy as he is the only one that commands the forge in his stronghold. Not seeing the dwarf and not able to hear him, the Ogre shrugs and begins looking for someone to smash. The weaponmaster attacks Falmar with all he has. He misses each swing and with his shield bash. A look of puzzlement comes over his face." Ain't never seen that before. You're a tough one, aintcha? Well, lets see how long that lasts. HEY, LAZLO! Pick this here fella up and smack him against the wall a few times like a good lad. Then we'll see how nimble you are. I'm off to find easier prey, 'scuse me."

OOC- The damage from the ray that hit was 17 last round.
"Easier prey right here friend" Snafu coaxed with his small sword in hand, as he took aim with another scorching ray at the same Ogre he targeted last round. Both of the rays flew true, but one of them missed due to the blur spell. (hit AC 34 and 37, but one missed due to blur; Damage 15)
"Like I said... easy prey. Perfect for someone of your limited abilities".
OOC: Hit touch AC 34 and 37;
OOC- Note: I tried to roll 2d10 to see if Blur caused me to miss... in retrospect my roll makes no sense cause you don't know what the individual rolls are. As such, I rolled the d10s individually and I got a "11" and a "89". As such, the 11 missed due to blur, but the 89 hit.

Serillana continues to rapidly spin, finding finding time to pop out a handful of bullets out of her bullet pouch and getting them set for quick launch at the ratogre.
"Damn, only one bullet left in this pouch. Time to get a new one out soon. And I need to stop spinning..."
------------------- OOC: From Pathfinder OGC from Rogue --> Sneak attack (Right at the end) ... A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment. DM David Thank you for noting that. I don't normally play rogues and have completely overlooked that in the past. Very good to know.
Blur grants concealment. Entropic Shield act like concealment, but that doesn't really matter as they all have concealment. I will not roll Sneak Attack Damage then.

Serillana (AC 30 HP 89/89 CMD 29) {Greater Invis 8/10, Haste} Wednesday May 11th, 2011 10:30:23 AM
OOC: I think I rolled concealment + entropic shied correctly, as Blur gives concealment (20% miss chance, concealment doesn't stack), Entropic doesn't give concealment, just gives it a 20% miss chance.
Thus I rolled them separately as two chances that the bullets will miss.
DM David That is how I understand it, which makes it really sucky for ranged people, sorry about that. You got it right.

(ooc2: Tishe' quickened doom and regular spell Suggestion left Ratogre last round. I didn't see if the second spell had any effect or was saved against. Help?)
Tishe' is running out of spells and feels it is time one of the Ratogres leaves the fight. Bringing up her Staff of Fire she urges it to have 3 Scorching Rays strike the Right Ratogre!
The heavy horse continues to guard Tishe'-goblin from anyone trying to attack her.

DM David I almost forgot it so it was in the Ratogres action instead of yours. He failed but reason told him the only one that works the forge is Skalipy. He looked around, not being the brightest bulb in the box and not seeing Skalipy, sort of shrugged. If you want to target the weaponsmaster instead He can do that this round.I suspect it will go badly for the ogre in that case. Also he is not currently affected by mind controlling spells.

POSTING FOR Kahlan Palance HP 66/158
Kahlan continued to move through the wall but made no progress (15). Meanwhile the thorns continued to dig in (3 damage).
"Dismiss the thorns" the holy thief called out in frustration.
OOC: Wall of Thorns can be dismissed as a standard action... might be a good idea for Tishe to do so soon, as most of our enemies are in front of the wall. Plus, we'll be able to get to Skalipy.

Snafu, invisible, taunts the weaponsmaster to fight him. The ratkin can hear him, but will not be swayed from the easier targets he CAN see closer to the door. Snafu instead fires more scorching rays at the left Ratogre, hitting again.
Serillana fires off 4 more bullets at the ratogre. 2 strike true and this time they draw blood.
Tishe fires off 3 scorching rays at the right Ratogre and all 3 hit( got thru the blur) and the beast falls down, smoldering.
Thar fires 3 more arrows at the left Ratogre, and scores 1 hit. That Ratogre's Stoneskin also disappears.
Falmar ( to be continued)
Kahlan takes the hits from the Ratogres huge Greatsword and screams in pain. She begs Tishe to drop the wall of thorns as she is trapped within the huge monster's reach and cannot swing back. Instead, she lays her hands on the greatest of her wounds and heals some of the damage ( LOH for 9 healing. Ouch so many 1's)
The left Ratogre ignores the weaponsmaster and swings OVER Falmar's head at Thar, hitting twice, critting once. Hit AC 27 for 39 damage Hit AC 37 crit confirmed AC 28 for 58 damage The left priest uses his wand on himself healing a small amount of damage. Knowing what protections he does, and does not have the weaponsmaster steps past Falmar (5 foot step) and swings at the goblin with the fire staff that just killed his Ratogre friend. As he does so the warhorse (alignment neutral) standing behind Tishe steps forward and attacks him( held action) The horse snaps and flails at the weaponsmaster, missing by a wide margin.The Ratkin looks amused by the attempt. He swings at the goblin missing once, twice, a third time and finally connecting with his longsword. He then brings his shield around and swats Tishe so hard that for a second the lights go out. When her head clears she is lying on the floor. ( unless you have an amazing CMD) Miss AC27 Miss AC 27 Miss AC 24 Hit AC 33 for 17 damage+8<unholy> 25 total Shield slam Hit AC 44 crit confirmed AC 32 for 33 damage and a free Bulls Rush with a CMB of 45. Tishe was just inside the door and is pushed back to the wall which trips her and knocks her prone. Having already moved this round the Ratkin does not follow her back. There is a loud POP outside in the hallway and Skalipy appears in the hall. A spectral hand waits at his side, crackling with energy and a warhammer is clutched in his hand. The weaponsmaster looks up and says " Hi boss, They killed Lenny and the casters. I think one of the brothers is still alive in that salad."

Dondit
Bounding around the outside of the room Dondit spies the last priest trapped in the the thorns and hops toward him, keeping out of the thorns themselves..his tongue lolling and saliva hissing as it drizzles upon the hot floor near the forge.
food,.... but the pricklies will hurt,... It's trying to come to me !!!
If the priest breaks free, Dondit will attempt to pull him in toward him, then swallow whole
(new thing for me, not sure if pull needs a grapple check or not. Says it's a free combat maneuver check. doesn't say it needs to be in a grapple, but I would assume.)
DM David I would assume too. I think it is a free combat maneuver if he hits with the tongue, but that is just off the top of my head. It IS a ranged attack if he wants to shoot his tongue in there and latch on now...

OOC: 1) Snafu cast greater invisibility on Serilanna, not himself, so he's not invisible. He does however have 4 mirror images. 2) Quick question... do all of our enemies currently have blur active?
Snafu took aim at the remaining Ratogre and managed to hit twice with yet another pair of scorching rays. He then moved closer to Tishe in effort to keep the weaponmaster off him.
"Pick a Snafu... any Snafu" he and his mirror images continued to taunt.

No, you didn't really mess me up, I could have chosen others to attack anyway. What I don't really understand is why you guys seem to like spoiler text. I mean it is a pain to put in ( for me at least, I always mess it up, but at least I can edit my mistakes) and it takes up the same amount of room. I would just post it in the open. Also I have made the mistake of attacking you and hitting you when you WERE actually invisible so no worries 8).
Since you are a DM and Steve is a PTB then you guys can edit too, so I guess it makes sense...heck I played for a few YEARS before I even knew how to post in spoilers.
ALSO We will have a new player coming into the game ( actually returning to the Wold) Shawn Cooper. He is converting his old character over to Pathfinder and tweaking it out. Please welcome him.
ooc: I'm a PTB? Oh wow, I guess I am :-). Never thought of that before... ................
Tishe' thought the battle was going very well until the weaponsmaster side-stepped Falmar and sent in a slash that nearly took her head off and then smashed her nose to the other side of her head. The goblin shakes her head and finds herself sitting at the feet of a very upset Skalipy who is now fully ready to kill everyone. And there is not a thing that Tishe' can do about it.
Casting defensively to avoid being pummelled by Skalipy, Tishe' casts Blink and begins to rapidly move in and out of the wold.

Falmar takes 3 swipes at the weaponmaster as he steps past him, missing with all 3. The two of them seem evenly matched but the weaponmaster has decided to seek easier prey.
Snafu suddenly appears from nowhere as his invisibility wears off. He throws 2 scorching rays at the second Ratogre and scores 2 direct hits. He moves 5 feet closer to Tishe, trying not to be noticed by the weaponsmaster he has been taunting and The Ratogre that has been randomly crushing people.
Thar, wounded badly by the long armed Ratogre decides that he and his friends are hurt, badly. He calls upon his power to heal them and a burst of healing emenates from his body. Unfortunately it also heals his foes Everyone heal 15 points
Kahlan struggles with the thorns and is unable to break free. She takes minor damage and calls upon her holy powers to heal herself.
Tishe lands on her bottom and shakes her head to clear the cobwebs. She then see's Skalipy staring down at her and quickly casts blink to try and save her life. ( Are you going to get up and try to get out of the bad spot you are in too, or stay put? You have a move action still) She hopes that the blinking saves her.
Dondit is overcome by the need to see what Ratkin tastes like. His tongue shoots out and is tangled in the thorns, unable to reach the priest. The hungry Bounder reels in his tongue for another attempt later.
Serillana fires off her last sling bullet and reaches back for more. The Ratogre takes another hit from the tiny pellets and wonders WHERE the little rocks keep coming from.
The ratkin priest again taps himself with his wand, healing more damage. The ratogre feels better from the healing and turns to once again help the priest out of the thorns. This time the priest is ready and tries to help. Still the ratoge is unable to free the priest. Skalipy looks down at Tishe and smiles" Fear not Mortimer, our Lord has made us strong and capable. We will survive this day and continue his work. The great machine has been damaged by the one who taunts you. Even now he draws closer, trying to help his friend here on the floor. He is a silver tongued devil and needs to be silenced. Go, deal with him. I will take care of this one." With that Skalipy casts a spell and the spectral hand at his side moves to touch Tishe ( the hand gets a +2 that I didn't add so makes your 18 touch AC) As she blinks into view the hand brushes her cheek and she finds herself Paralyzed and exuding a stench like the smell of a week old corpse in the sun. Falmar,Thar,Snafu, and Mortimer need Fort saves DC 19. Mortimer becomes sickened as he turns to attack Snafu. Mortimer turns slightly green at the stench behind him and staggers a step closer to Snafu. Then he winds up and attacks the group of Snafus in front of him. He hits only once and the swing destroys an image instead of hitting Snafu.

Snafu felt the sudden urge to vomit, but managed to suck it back in (Fort save 25).
"Peeeeyeeew... Weaponmaster, did you cut the cheese?" he joked.
Suddenly Snafu lept into the air and performed a perfectly executed back handspring. He landed 10 feet away from the weaponmaster and instantly went into spellcasting. Seconds after two more scorching rays launched in the direction of the ogre.
"Come on weaponmaster, let's see what you got!" Snafu added, now feeling much more confident that he was out of the range of a full attack.
Actions: 1) Acrobats check to avoid AOO- 40; move 10 feet away (out of full attack range) 2) Scorching ray on ogre- Hit twice for 19+13 = 32 damage (hit 27 and 28; 34 and 24 blur)
If she is able to make it out of the thorns she will attempt to cut down the ratogre still trying to free it's companion from the thorns.
I believe that is how a standard action attack works, with TWF and Haste. If not reduce it the proper amount please.
DM David A FULL ATTACK action nets you a free swing. just using the attack action gets you no bonus ( other than the bonus AC and reflex save) However TWF gets you an off hand attack so attack 1and 2 are good. Strength check: 22

Tishe' had no intention of standing up and allowing a prepared Skalipy to pound on her, staying on the floor was just fine; but the Spectral Hand reaches her through her Blinking and she can't move now anyways.
She can't move, but the horse can. It spins and attacks the person attacking Tishe' which at the moment happens to be Skalipy, but the horse isn't very good and fails to strike every time. (AC 15, 10, 15)
And as Tishe' thinks of the state of being a prisoner beneath Skalipy, another thought strikes her: she can still think! So, unable to move or speak, she tries to help her packmates by casting without need of materials or foci, an Still, Silent, Doom on Mortimer: the weaponsmaster!

Now that Thar's healed a bit, he feels relived and manages to fight off the sickening stench... (Fort = 20)... "Go take a shower why don't you!" he chuckles to Tishe' ...
He takes out a few more arrows and fires another volley at the left ratogre...

Dondit
Dondit's eyes glaze over as the trapped priest heals himself of his wounds, improving the flavor and texture of his flesh, a great and kind thing of him to think of as he prepares to feed Dondit.
Dondit attempts to grab the priest once again with his tongue, slobbering the priest with copious amounts of spittle, but failing to latch on as he would like. Dondit begins to hop up and down in frustration.

Snafu tumbles away and hits the Ratogre with 2 more scorching rays. The ogre still seems to take less damage than he should. The priest however cries out in pain. Kahlan finnaly makes enough headway to break free of the wall of thorns. She taggers, bleeding toward the ratogre and swings at it once with each weapon, her second scoring a critical hit. The priest again cries out as fresh wounds appear on him. Tishe, pnone and paralyzed still manages a silent and stilled spell at Mortimer. Sadly the ratkin's strong mind overcomes her spell( lucky roll) Thar. still gravely wounded fires off several more arrows at the ratogre( did you add your healing to your header? it looks low)He scores three hits. The priest goes unconscious after the first, but still breathes. The second and third finish his spell of Shield other. Falmar continues to follow Mortimer, swinging for all he is worth. 2 swings find their mark, yet Mortimer shows almost no signs of wounds from them. Dondit once again tries to get the priest for lunch. His new plaything stops struggling and stops breathing. This ruins Dondit's sport...or does it. Serillana prepares another vlley of bullets for the ratogre. Her first one finds its mark right between the Brute's eyes, it falls to the floor dead.
Mortimer takes the death of the Ratogre hard. Apparently both of these brutes were friends of his. He steps closer to Kahlan ( stepping between her and Falmar, you will both flank him next turn.) and vents his grief on the female paladin. For the first time hs composure slips and he uses all of his strength behind the blows, and misses every one. Skalipy chides him and says" Patience Mortimer, they will still serve the plans of out Lord. Just in a different form." With that Skalipy casts another spell into his spectral hand and it snakes out and tries to touch Falmar at the base of his neck. The hand caresses Falmar's neck and the paladin stiffens as his life energy is drawn from his body into Skalipy ( that is a maximized Vampiric touch and will drain 36 hp directly from Falmar. Be glad it did not crit )

OOC- Is the weaponmaster or Skalipy currently blurred?
Clearly he recognized that Skalipy's magic was the biggest threat to the success of this mission... somehow he needed to be stopped.
Snafu took measure of the distance between himself and Skalipy, making sure that he was outside of striking distance (OOC- will take 5' step if needed). And then he waited... at the first sign of spellcasting, Snafu would strike with another scorching ray. (Readied action- attempting to disrupt Skalipy with a scorching ray).

OOC Ok back in the saddle agian. The doctor had to give me anesthetic drops to look in my eye, so now is the time to use it while I feel no pain. IC Snafu readies an action to damage Skalipy as he casts his next spell. Tishe, through force of will alone readies another counterspell, even through paralysis. Thar prepares himself for next round using th power of goodness to bolster him. Kahlan calls upon Domi and heedless of his untouchable AC, begins to beat the weaponmaster down. Many of her swings land true. They meet resistance form the enchantments on the weaponmaster, but a significant amount of pain still transfers through. However, he still looks to be taking less than his share of damage, though Skalipy looks inconvenienced by the damage he seems to magically take from the onslaught. The weaponmasters stoneskin fails on the last strike from Kahlen, leaving him open to Falmar. Falmar, following Kahlan's lead calls upon the power of Sargrass to strengthen his arm. His first blow strikes through the blur but the second misses by the barest of margins. Dondit wraps his tongue around the still warm body of the ratkin priest and begins to drag it free from the thorns.
Skalipy grits his teeth as the horse of all things bites him. Determined to end this now that most of his foes are wounded he calls upon his magic for a damaging spell. Halfway through the casting, Snafu hits him with multiple scorching rays. There is no saving his spell and it fizzles in his hands ( couldn't make the check even with a 20, sigh).Hurt and losing his minions, he tells Mortimer to back out of the fight and follow him. He turns and runs down the hallway, away from the party. Mortimer, looks completely baffled that so many attacks have just hit him. Viewing this as a bad omen, and his boss's choice to flee. he begins fighting defensively and after a parting swing at Kahlan which falls short, tumbles out of the room, slamming the door behind him. ( Wow, nice CMD Kahlan and Falmar, take an AoO. He fails to beat your CMD) However his AC is now 35 since he is using combat expertise.

Kahlan holds at the door briefly so that she can get as many allies together in her Aura of Justice. She then moves into the room, attacking Mortimer and healing herself as she goes yet she finds no hole in the Weapon Masters defense.
AoO: 29 Miss Swift Action: LoH 11hp Attack1: Miss Attack2: Miss
Everyone within 10ft of Kahlan when activated gains the benefit of Kahlan's Smite Evil for 1 Minute. They must designate which target by the end of this round.
This gives +6 to AC versus target, +6 to hit, and +11 Damage as well as bypasses DR. This uses two of her Smite Evils for the day.
Buffs for Allies w/ in 10ft of Kahlan: +4 to saves vs. Fear +4 to saves vs. Charms DM David I missed the bypass DR part of Smite Evil. I have adjusted the enemies HP above, sorry about that.

I can't see what's going on! At least I'm laying on the floor and out of the way. Maybe I can help my packmates with Mortimer.
Once again, Tishe' gathers magical forces together by only using her mind; no gestures, no words, no materials. She spares a moment to wonder if she is the only person in the entire Wold who could actually do this! But then she again focuses on her mission, to make Mortimer less of a threat.
She casts a Still, Silent Doom upon the fighter.

Serillana watches everyone run off, and follows, throwing a bullet at the unaware weapon master.

Mortimer's tumbling ability befuddles Falmar and his swing goes wide (Nat. 1)
Falmar immediately turns to Tishe, and casts Dispel Magic (armor penalty passed) Targeted to remove her paralysis. (Spell check 25, DC= 11+ spellcaster casting level)
If Tishe' recovers Falmar will head for the door and the escaping white hands.
" Drop it ! , you can eat later!!
Dondit
As Dondit opens his cavernous Maw to swallow this morsel, he is denied once again. Somehow even his huge monstrous eyes appear sad as he turns and bounds to stand over Tishe' awaiting some sign that she's still there.

DM David Snafu isn't evil (that I know of) and I don't think you want to smite him...do you?

Would your smite work on top of mine, not stacking just the better of the two ? If so Morty keeps it DM David I would say the better of the 2 would win out yes.
DM David--- In the Halls of the Tested --- d20+20=38 Mort AoO on Snafu; Snafu is 1 1d4=1 ; d8+12=18 ; d6=3 ; d6=4 ; d100=6 ; d20+5=18 ; Thursday May 19th, 2011 8:50:20 PM
Snafu charges through the door as soon as he is able. He finds Skalipy with a good lead ( about 50 feet from the door) and Mortimer following behind him (about 20 feet from the door). Wanting to keep up with Skalipy he pelts down the hallway, passing Mortimer. The Ratkin weaponmaster lashes out with his blade striking true through all of Snafu's images. Hit AC 38, jit the real Snafu for 18 damage+7<unholy>. Snafu is able to draw up even with Skalipy.
Thar runs through the door and then fires at the weaponmaster, lining up a perfect shot only to miss due to the Blur around the Ratkin.
Kahlan Aids her allies and takes 2 swings at Mortimer, missing both times.
Tishe once again fires off a silent,still spell of Doom at the weaponmaster. This time his will is not strong enough and the doom takes effect.
Serillana runs through the door and lines up a shot on Mortimer's fleeing backside. Her bullet flies true hitting the ratkin in the back of the head.( he doesn't have entropic shield, just Blur Serillana.)
Falmar turns and dispel's the ghoul touch on tishe, freeing her. He then follows the pack. Dondit reluctantly drops his food and stands over Tishe protectively, though he still slobbers a little.
Both Skalipy and Mortimer run on( Snafu AoO on Skalipy, Kahlan AoO on Mortimer) They meet up at the end of the hallway and Mortimer turns to protect Skalipy from the heroes. From behind the Ratkin can be heard," You may have foiled my Lord's plans in this place, but his faithful are Legion and I will go to one of their lair's and finish his work. This isn't over." With that he clamps a hand on Mortimer's shoulder and utters the words to a teleport spell. Then there is a flash and he is gone.

Thar, AC 27, 42/124, McVE, Spell Res 23 2d8+10=17 ; Friday May 20th, 2011 9:43:32 AM
Thar curses as his arrow missed the real target... Also, he's angry that Skalipy and Mortimer escaped...
"Is there a way we can track where they're going? I want to get this guy!"
While waiting for the others to do something, he moves quickl to Tishe', places a hand on her shoulder and heals her of 17 pts of dmg

Snafu grunted slightly when the weaponmaster's blade cut in, but he ran on. "You're going down!" Snafu promised as he closed in on Skalipy.
As Skalipy continued to flee, Snafu struck out with his enhanced blade and scored a hit (Damage 9).
"Dance like a butterfly, sting like a bee..." Snafu joked, but his glee faded away a few second later when Skalipy teleported from the room.
"Gosh dang it!" Snafu shouted, as he desparately scanned the area for some clue as to how he could close in on Skalipy. "I've got his blood" Snafu said as he held his short sword in the air. "Tishe, tell me there's a way... I've got a teleport left... please, tell me there is a way!"
