DM Robert - "Let's finish searching around here and heal our wounds." Saturday July 11th, 2020 8:52:51 AM
Stock checks the other rooms and finds nothing of interest .You can see that there are a few scraps of firewood that the woodworkers in the room will recognize as a chair leg, and part of a bed frame.
Bartomus wonders on what the kobolds would have to do to rebuild and refurnish the place.
Carver wants the magical great axe.
Zanderallen is ready to go down and meet whatever evil is still below.
Micah suggests dividing out some of the loot.
Sid wants to take the strength belt as well as the two ever burning torches.
Stohp displays her mathematical powers by counting the Shields and coming up with 8 vs 1 against the necromancer.
_____
It appears that most of you are ready to go down to the lower mines. There may still be some distribution of magical goods that needs to take place, to wit potions and scrolls.
The group rounds up their gear and gets ready to hit the road. The party makes its way back through the warren and to that entry chamber. Then they make the turn and start down the passage to the lower mines. It's a long dark walk. As you get down the tunnel the fungus on the walls starts to become less frequent and the tunnels themselves become smaller.
You are now in tunnels that are 5 foot wide and 6 feet tall. Squeezing is required.
Also as these are the working mines it will require some skill to find the right path. From what you remember the kobolds seemed to say the trouble started when a new section was opened. To find the path... Knowledge Engineering 15 or Survival 20 or Perception 25
---- Light Sources and Illumination just a reminder your torches, everburning lances, lit maces, and glowing swords, provide normal vision in a 20 foot radius and provide you dim vision in a 40 foot radius. Low light can See up to 40 foot from a torch light source and gets 20 feet of murky shadows beyond that. ALSO, you don't need to be in the light field to see what the light field reveals. Example. You can be on the west side of someone carrying a torch and outside that light field, but still see to the extent of your vision east of the light source. AND LASTLY, There's a fungus in some caves/tunnels that will give those with Dark Vision extra range, I will let you know as you enter them.

But, that belt that could help me move a bit quicker, would that be so long as I wear it, or do I need to strap it on to use it? Cause that might be of some help." Bartomus said and continued to look over things. "The curing potions, I could use a couple to replace the ones I used."
He followed along, squeezing through the tunnels and trying to keep an eye out for things as they moved deeper into the caverns.

Carver agrees with the wanting of 2 or 3 of the cure potions,

Stohp will claim the smokesticks if no one else wants them. They'll add to her pool of utility items she keeps around to use as needed. The bet of dexterity would be helpful, but only if everyone else already has one. Better the archer or melee fighters get the improved attack/defense then she take it for a minor grappling bonus.

Stock grabs two of the healing potions and pats his pouch where he carries the things. "Feels pretty full." He then stays toward the front, leading the party through the darkness. At one point, he stops and reaches down, picking up a vaguely hexagonal blue rock. He tosses it up, catches it, and drops it in his belt pouch.
When he looks up again, he realizes he got a bit disoriented. "Which way do you guys think? Anybody else besides Carver need a rest?"

Micah (John) HP: 80/80 AC: 27/12/27 CMD:18 immune to stench d20+4=13 ; Monday July 13th, 2020 3:53:08 PM
Micah surveys his companions and considers a moment before suggesting, "It appears, that except for Carver, most of us have significant reserves remaining. Provided we do not have many hours of travel ahead of us, I would prefer to press our advantage and keep going.
He then turns to Bart, "So merely confidence or do you, in fact, think you have discerned the correct path? If the latter, please point out the way."
====== Survival 13. Fail the check.
OOC to Bart: It appears you made the perception check to discern the correct path, but you didn't mention it in your post. Micah, and it appears Zanderallen also, are assuming you share that with the party.

"Wait," Sid says, going back to Stohp, "that belt makes you quicker? I'm sorry Stohp, but can I use that instead? You can have the Ishingram belt back! I mean, if you need it I don't want to take it from you. I didn't know belts could do that."
DM Robert - "I thought dwarves were supposed to know their way around tunnels." Monday July 13th, 2020 8:38:22 PM Assuming that Bartomus's undeclared roll was indeed a successful perception check.
And is there some confusion, here, one belt makes you stronger one belt raises your dex. Raised dex does not equate to being quicker as we don't use initiative rolls here.
The party moves along and Bartomus is able to point out the more recent signs of tunneling, much to the chagrin of the dwarf. At last you come to a place where you can see the mining tunnel seems to have broken through into something different. The mine tunnel cuts across a 20 foot wide corridor, where the other side of the corridor is you have no idea, though Stock can explain that over time tunnels collapse, earthquakes could cause a shift upward downward or sideways in the rock strata, etc.
The party bunches up as the move into the 20 foot wide corridor. It is obviously worked stone, carved and cleaned granite and marble create the floor, walls and ceiling (10 foot high). The corridor quickly opens into a large roundish chamber. In the center, about 30 feet in from the edge of the corridor, there appears to a large statute of a spider.
Perception 20 Highlight to display spoiler: {the statue is made of many gears, wires, and other parts.}
If successful with above perception check... Knowledge Arcane 22 Highlight to display spoiler: {This appears to be a clockwork golem.}
Just a note, you can't see the back side of the room as yet, well maybe Stock can, I momentarily forget the normal range of darkvision. There is no longer any fungus on the walls to help with seeing in the dark.

When they came to the higher ceilings and then the big opening with the clockwork spider, Bartomus looked at his fellow Shields, "so, wait we went from small caverns to this? Isn't that a bit odd? Then who builds a nasty statue of that?"
He pointed to the partially illuminated statue.

As the tunnels open up into the older section Zanderallen gets a bad feeling deep in his soul. Stepping 10 feet into the room he takes a look around and opens his sight to the presence of evil power. If he detects anything he will immediately warn the others. --------------- Detect Evil 60 ft cone, Zander is scanning the room Perception 6

As they pile in Sid says, "Oh yeah, that is alot of wires and gears. Hey Stock, should I move up?" Sid will continue to look for traps if he can get into the room

Carver ogles the ugly spider statue.
Stohp Sorry to see into the room you need to move up, I'm squeezing you forward past Carver since that is the only way because you can't stack up really points out that the statue has a lot of gears and stuff on the insides.
Stock quickly disappears from the rest of the parties site as he double moves into the room and peers down another corridor. No the statue is just a statue of a big spider, nothing religious about it. Thick hairless, metal Shelob. Perception check please for looking down the corridor....unlesss, read below.
Bartomus explains how he was able to determine the correct patch.
Zanderallen steps into the room and looking intently starts to see if he can detect evil. He feels relieved that there are no evil auras before him.
Micah casts detect magic. Hmm, I'm not sure, it is a magical construct but I'm not sure if that means it radiates magic.
Sid also having to squeeze you forward for a look because you were around the corner originally and it's not like you can technically occupy the same space (though Micah and Bartomus are pressed up REALLY close as are Sid and Stock.) moves forward and can also see the gears in the machine. ______________________
Suddenly the spider stirs those looking at it see a strange red glow pop up in it's multiple eyes. Gears grind and whirl as the spider suddenly comes alive. It turns moves toward Stock and strikes out with one of its forelegs! Leg slam, 41 (d20+23) hit, damage 20 (2d10+8)
Though except for Sid the rest of you don't see much because, light sources.

Carver has to wait a few moments for his friends to make a hole.... (gotta wait for people to move) As to light, the spider is currently in "din" for those without darkvision.... But that will change as Carver takes his turn....

Zanderallen might not be able to fully see what's going on but he can see and hear enough to take action. Charging forward he drops his sword in the middle of the room for illumination.

Bartomus continued forward into the cavern as the others rushed forward with the lights illuminating the new cavern and the now moving clockwork spider. They needed to see it, he thought to himself, and then he had an idea. A rather simple spell that might help. With that, he sent forth the spell thinking that Violet would be a great name for the spider.
Move to I9 if possible, cast faerie fire on the spider at O7 - no saving throw but negated with spell resistance - violet color in a 5' radius burst - so not sure if that is contained in the 07 square or everything about that location.

Sid moves H7 and will pull out Branwen and aim at the Spider. "Man," he says to Micah, "I was almost trampled. You think the mechanical spider is an interesting choice. You think it means anything or is it just an aesthetic?"
Stohp rushes in trying to distract the mechanical spider.Hey check your header, you should be healed going into this room.
Stock steps up and swings, missing both times.
Zanderallen moves forward dropping his sword and drawing his hammer. Alas he too misses.
Bartomus moves into the room and casts faire fire on the construct. Momentarily the creatures seems to glow violet, and then the spell fades out. DM note, this golem is immune to any spell that allows a spell resistance check.
Micah casts Bless on everyone.
Sid moves into the room and pulls out Branwen.
Somewhere in all that Carver manages to charge, however you gave me no ending location. He does manage to hit the creature a resounding blow.

The clockwork golem slashes out first at Stock hitting. slam 37 (d20+23) and inflicting 23 points damage.

He tries again to hammer on the thing, feeling a sense of concern at the thing's robustness.
=========== Negating the grapple via: Rage Power: Strength Surge (Ex) - The barbarian adds her barbarian level on one Strength check or combat maneuver check or to her CMD when an opponent attempts a maneuver against her. This power is used as an immediate action. This power can only be used once per rage. It's an immediate action and raises Stock's CMD to 38, which then negates the second 23 points of damage I think.

Bartomus really didn't know what to do. His light show faded quickly and that probably meant that a lot of his other options wouldn't work either. In the fade of the violet swirls, he saw the spider stick and grab Stock and Stohp, then Carver charged across the room. The Spider was still moving and still standing, it's gears and razors were slicing into both of the grappled Shields. Bartomus shook his head, and then focused on Stock who seemed the worse for the wear. "Cure," Bartomus said.

Micah frowns in fierce concentration, wincing at Stohp's plight and momentarily celebrating Stock's escape from those fearsome limbs. He stands ready to intervene should the thing grab another foe while worrying hold to rescue the minotaur.
"Hang in there, Stohp!" he yells to his bleeding friend. Then to Zanderallen, Make room. I will be moving in there when I can."

(I forgot to update her HP yes)
Stohp breaks the grapple with a heroic effort (spending a hero point since a nat 20 doesn't beat it's CMD, 39 to escape). She backpedals 5 feet to get out of it's reach (I think a 5 foot step prevents an AoO? Can she take one while prone?)

Sid fires a couple of arrows that come no where near hitting the imposing spider.
Carver charges, and for perhaps the first time in a while, misses.
Stock, raging, manages to break free of the grapple even as the blades come whirling at his face confirming no grapple damage since that is an immediate action. He strikes at the thing but finds that his attack did not have the bite he thinks it should have.
Bartomus casts cure moderate wounds on Stohp. However, that is a touch spell so I'm going to have to move you for you to touch, and have it affect her. Putting you at L11, M12.
Zanderallen manages to put a little hurt on the thing.
Micah moves forward shouting encouragement and readying a spell.
Stohp breaks free save your hero point, nat 20 always succeeds even if you don't have enough to total the target number. She then backs away 5 feet.
--------------- You hear the twirling of tiny gears which must be the brain of this thing. It determines who meets the criteria for attack.

When Stock slips free from the golem's clutches a second time, he is once again certain it is his superdwarf strength doing the work instead of Micah's spell. Maybe that is what gives him the confidence to slam the thing twice, sparks flying.

Sid breaths deeply, "Ok, ok. Steady" And lets his arrows fly again. One by one the arrows ping off of its metal husk. The second arrow sticks in a moment before being swiped away. Sid purses his lips as no scratch shows afterwards. Was it a fold in the metal, an invisible joint, or just a lucky shot that wasn't strong enough to penetrate. Unsure he grabs more arrows and focuses on the beast. "At least it has an appropriate number of arms."

Bartomus slipped around Stohp and up against the cavern wall. As he moved, he fished out one of the special bullets and his sling, it was, he thought to himself, probably the best option he had other than try to figure out who was hurt and rush in to heal them. Next time, I think I need to take one of the wands for healing and use it from the back, he whispered to himself making a mental note of sorts.
Move to Q12; Melee 24, +7 +2 for the bullet, if the bless spell still applies - then hit for 6; otherwise miss; thanks for the reminder on the healing spell rule - didn't remember that.

Stohp isn't sure how she can help in this fight. It's to heavy for her to grapple and those saw blades heavily restrict her ability to do so. Even just being close to it risks her dying quickly and with little chance at stopping it. So she hangs back for now

"That is not what I had in mind! shouts Micah as the thing grabs Zanderallen. Not wanting to block Carver and not able to move into flanking position with Stock with the paladin still in the way, he moves so as to be better able to reach Stock after Carver has charged.

Carver charges to and fro hitting the creature.
Stock takes out much anger and aggression striking the creature twice, but each hit feels like it should have done more damage than it actually did. Never-the-less, cracks definitely appear all over the shell of the statue.
Zanderallen swiftly heals and then strikes the golem again. There is a definite tolling sound as if a cracked bell had been rung.
Sid fires off two arrows and realizes that the monstrosity shudders briefly.
Bartomus moves and lets fly with a special bullet, but misses.
Stohp wonders what to do.
Micah channels to heal his comrades I don't think Stohp and Bartomus are in range from K4.
--------------- There is a sharp crack a high pitched ting, and then the monster EXPLODES.
Death Burst (Ex) When a clockwork golem is reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, it explodes in a shower of razor-sharp gears and debris. All creatures within a 10-foot burst take 12d6 points of slashing damage—a DC 18 Reflex save results in half damage.

Stohp is glad she hung back. Her natural instinct is to rush forward to help the injured but she isn't actually a healer so she hangs back to let the healers do the healing.

He watched as they smashed at the moving automan of a spider and then suddenly the room was a lit as the spider exploded sending razor sharp twisting bits in all directions. He blinked a few times and realized that Zander was near the creature, so he moved near to Zander and fished out a couple of the potions he knew could help what ever injuries that blast caused. He nodded towards Carver and nodded, "I think we have found a legacy of that older sect of the Drow."

It doesn't even register though until the deafening explosion. His rage fades and he spits blood. "What in the Wold? Anybody else see that coming?"
"If the undead didn't know we are coming before, they sure may know now."
Domi shield us! exclaims Micah as shrapnel flies. He involuntarily raises his own shield in defense, and is relieved to see that the spread of the deadliest pieces is not as great as he feared.
Not waiting to triage the wounds he moves toward the center of the room and channels healing energy.

Zander smiles as he feels things splitting beneath his hammer blow. He has just moments to enjoy that feeling before he releases what's happening as tightly fitted gears start blasting apart. He raises his shield but his reflexes are too slow to block the release of deadly shrapnel. He grunts in pain and mutters something unintelligible and probably quite rude as he pulls out a rather large and sharp gear from the new dent in the side of his plate armor. "I don't know who built that thing but whoever it is I wish to lodge a complaint. Oh thanks, Bart, I could use something to wash down gears."

Sid moves forward and examines the wreckage to see if he can determine if it is truly inactive or if there is more going on. "Anyone ever notice that we have to destroy the coolest toys? Like that elemental thing that was guarding the pyramid thing? That grass was so well manicured." Sid picks up some springs and sprockets that look salvageable.

Stohp is glad she did not move up.
Bartomus gives Zanderallen a potion and also wonders about the Drow connection.
Stock is fatigued and very injured, and shocked by the golem.
Micah centers himself and does some channeling.
Zander wants to find customer service, he then drinks Bart's potion.
Sid wanders around looking for useful bits (there are none).

With the battle done the heroe's take a moment to collect themselves. They ponder what they've just encountered.
Knowledge Engineering 20 (yes you may take 20 if you want to spend some time here thinking). Highlight to display spoiler: {A clockwork creature is a complex mechanical construct with an external power source. Many clockworks are built to resemble living creatures and mimic their abilities.

Knowledge Arcane 20 (yes you can also take 20 if you want to spend time thinking) Highlight to display spoiler: {Unlike standard constructs created purely via magic, clockworks do not require the creator to bind an elemental spirit or mortal soul to give it power and motion. Instead, most clockworks rely on some form of winding mechanism that must be turned on a regular basis in order to animate the construct. After being wound, often with a unique key, the construct can go about its duties until it runs out of energy. Once that happens, the construct becomes little more than an inanimate object (albeit a very complex one), that can remain in this dormant state for centuries before it is wound again and returns to "life". The mundane source of their power makes clockworks the preferred creations of those who find the harvesting of a creature's life force to be distasteful or evil.}
There are 3 tunnels leading off from this room.

Stock grabs a couple of his extra healing potions and downs them while he waits for the smarter party members to figure out which direction to go. He even goes so far as to sniff down the different tunnels, once having heard that at times like this, one should "always follow your nose".
"Any guesses? I'd say North, based off nothing other than the fact that I am closest to that cave."
======= Two Potions of CMW: 13 + 13 Rod/Bart- I think Z only took one of your potions
"Hmmm," muses Micah aloud as he reviews what he understands of musical constructs. "Unlike standard constructs created purely via magic, clockworks do not require the creator to bind an elemental spirit or mortal soul to give it power and motion. Instead, most clockworks rely on some form of winding mechanism that must be turned on a regular basis in order to animate the construct.

The mundane source of their power makes clockworks the preferred creations of those who find the harvesting of a creature's life force to be distasteful or evil.
Fascinated by the craftsmanship, he collects a few of the smaller gears and springs and puts them into his backpack.
He then pulls out two wands. One he hands to Bart, "Here take this for now." He then takes the other one and starts using it on Stock. "Hmmmm. I wonder if I can get a volume discount on these wands," he muses aloud as he works on the wounded dwarf.

Sid enjoins with Micah and Carver over the wonders of the mechanical menace that they deftly defeated and the layers of intricately connected springs and gears. "I wonder if we can get a few for the Base... without the whole 'exploding' thing. Would look neat wouldn't it?"
DM Robert - "Anyone remember if the Kobolds told us which turn to take?" Tuesday July 21st, 2020 8:12:07 PM
Carver and Sid examine the remains of the creature and speculate accurately.
Stohp is not sure which way to go.
Bartomus looks down the central tunnel. Unfortunately without dark-vision or a light source to let him see further into the tunnel, he really can't see much.
Zanderallen is not sure which way to go either.
Stock wonders if the tunnels would pass the sniff test. You made no perception rolls so you're sinuses must be blocked.
Micah works out the arcane aspect of the golem. And gets DM praise for actually stating it in his post. Micah also hands Bartomus a wand.
___
Some of the party wonders which way to go while others look over the remains of the golem and discuss it's aspects. Note on the following rolls you cannot take 20 because there is a possibility of danger if you fail, thus I think you can only take 10 or roll.
'North' Tunnel "A" Perception 25 and darkvision needed, or an elf holding a light source. Highlight to display spoiler: {This tunnel is descending. About 60 feet down (and now 10 feet lower than the current level) the leftward tunnel you can see what appears to be several bodies lying on the ground, they appear to be kobolds. You catch a whiff of something like rotten eggs.}
'Center' Tunnel "B" Perception 25 and darkvision needed, or an elf holding a light source. Highlight to display spoiler: { The entrance to this tunnel is smaller than the walls of the tunnel. The tunnel goes up slope at about a 30 degree angle and appears to wind to the left slowly about 60 feet in. Also the floor of the tunnel appears to be concave. }
'South' Tunnel "C" Perception 25 and darkvision needed, or an elf holding a light source. Highlight to display spoiler: {[The south tunnel slowly arcs to the south about 60 feet in, you can make out the edges of what looks like an iron double door.}
Trying to figure out tracks will require Survival 25. Highlight to display spoiler: {From where you are, meaning I assume you don't actually enter any of the tunnels, you're just looking while at the threshold, there appears to have been a great many tracks in the north and south tunnels. There are too many to tell for sure, but you can see that there is no dust in either of the these two tunnels.}

Stock holds out his arm and listens to the conversation as Micah starts poking him with the wand. When he feels good enough, he begins searching the floor around the three passages.
"The tracks seem to go to the north and south. Those paths are pretty clean and recently trod." He then disappears briefly into the mouth of each tunnel.
"To the north the passage slopes down and then we have some dead kobolds. If we're following our noses, we don't go that way. It stinks. To the South there is an iron double door. I feel like the last time we saw an iron double door I almost died. To the East the path slopes up and winds around. The floor also isn't flat. Maybe that's another worm path to the top.
I'm not really sure why there would be dead kobolds to the north. Maybe something lives down that way. Doors sounds right to me."

"Worm path this way, you're saying Stock, that might not be a bad way to go but not sure our wizard guy is that way."
"Kinda understand the hesitancy at the iron door, Stock, but I also wonder if we just wait here, someone is going to have to come and check on what happened to Violet, right? Maybe wait in the center tunnel and here and try an ambush?"

Zanderallen uses the wand on himself a few times while the others investigate the tunnels. "The only problem with setting an ambush for a necromancer is he is very unlikely to come spring it himself. More likely to just raise and send an undead horde. I'd say let's bust that door down. And the clockwork spider almost has to be maintained by the necro or his minions, so let's assume they know we're here now." -------------------- Zander uses 6 charges from the wand to heal 29

Carver adds to the conversation about the machine.... "I'd think that if the machine was unmoving, the winding would last quite a while. But if it responded every time something passed through, it would wind down rather quickly. As to waiting.... i'd have rather waited up above and taken a rest, but here, no, no waiting. "

Sid takes one of the torches and goes to the hall with the doubledoors. Hep places the ever burning torch behind him and checks out the door. He looks able about the door searching for traps and goes to make sure they are tripped and the door is opened.
DM Robert - "Anyone remember if the Kobolds told us which turn to take?" Wednesday July 22nd, 2020 8:08:59 PM
Stohp points out that the golem had to be wound regularly so is it from the ancient drow or not?
Stock gives the low down on the tunnels and opts for the southeast tunnel.Idle question Stock, you're a dwarf, did you ever live/work underground, I seem to recall your backstory as a carpenter working on open air things in the Float.
Bartomus is not sure which way to go and asks about setting a trap in the room they are in.
Zanderallen does some more healing and suggests the southeast tunnel might be best because the explosion may have alerted some people...things....undead...what not.
Micah makes sure everyone is healed looks like everyone has updated their headers and agrees that waiting may not be an option and the double doors seem like the better option.
Carver agrees that waiting now would be bad.
Sid heads down the corridor toward the double doors, ever burning torch in hand .....
_____________
Sid is able to spot the pit trap in front of the double doors. He examines it closely. After some time examination he attempts to disable the devise and succeeds. You needed a 20 and 1's don't auto fail on skill checks, likewise 20's are not crits on skill checks. Sid has successfully disabled the 10x10 pit trap in front of the door.
The double bronze doors are in front of you. When Sid was perceiving he was able to determine the doors were not locked. You are in a hallway that is 10 feet wide. It's about 60 feet from the brass doors to the other room where the golem was located. Um, I might need a marching order, or an order of entry through the doors. Not that I want to give you any clues, as Sergeant Schultz would say:"I see nothing, I hear nothing, and I say NOTHING!!!"

You try to break left and I'll break right and Carver can come down the middle. Domi be with us." With his closing assertion the flames of his sword take on a white tint as holy energy gathers in the blade ------------------------------ Zander will take the front right position Divine Bond(Weapon Spirit) - Holy on sword for 9 minutes (0 of 2 uses remaining)

Stock rubs at his beard as he carefully makes his way around the pit. "Well done, elf" he whispers to Sid as he passes him. He approaches the door and places the back of his hand on it to see if it is hot or cold to the touch. Then prepares himself to go left.
======== Some light reading on Stock's time underground: Like many of his kind, Stock Simpleshard was born and grew up within The Scab. He spent most of his adolescence below ground where his family helped to run a trading waystation near the Caverns of Glimstone. In addition, he inherited from his fellow dwarves a love of artisanry and craftsmanship. For him, it was never about mining the ore or the jewels, it is what you do with it.

"Well if there are going to be more of those metal spinning sharp and spiky things, not much I can do against those with a sling and a glaive. Ok, I can follow after you three, though Micah, I take it you are going to go all hard striking against things too?"
Bartomus will be after the three (Carver, Zander, Stock) and Micah if Micah is wanting to be upfront.
Micah (John) HP: 80/80 AC: 27/12/27 CMD:18 immune to stench Thursday July 23rd, 2020 2:00:21 PM
Micah nods in agreement as the others plan to move through the door. He takes position on the same side as Stock (so left), and does move in front of Bartomus. He readies his wand to cast bless should there be foes on the other side of the door.

Sid holds the everburning torch in one hand and has Mildred in the other. "Well, Dwarf, you seem to be having all the fun this go around so I've got to do something. I'll deke left with you and then stay out of the way... hopefully." Since everyone seems ready Sid will throw open the doors, take a quick look, and move left.
DM Robert - "If we get into another fight, just try to leave me a path to maneuver." Thursday July 23rd, 2020 8:17:23 PM
Carver wants a place in the rear of the group. Unfortunately Bartomus wants a place in the more behind everyone position.
Sid throws open the doors and breaks left.
Zanderallen goes through the doors and breaks right.
Stock comes through and follows Sid left. I was wondering so I guess I'll give you that since your grew up in mines, that the rotten eggs had smelled you would associate with some form of poison gas.
Bartomus is not feeling too useful and wants to be behind Carver.
Micah goes into the room and heads left....and will cast Bless.
Stohp??? ___________________________
You enter another large room. Unfortunately few of you can see to the back wall, you have more of a sense of the largeness due to the sounds the doors make as they swing back and hit the walls on either side of the doorway.
Just at the edge of vision you can see a large bony skeleton. This horrific humanoid figure is a mass of bones and skulls tied together with slick ropes of sinew. The bones clearly are not of a large size creature, rather they are tied together in such a way as to make multiple bones cover the distances to make a large size creature. But there are far too many bones that seem to just be randomly stuck in place.
From the back of the room, Stock can make out another normal sized skeleton decked out in armor and carrying a crossbow. This skeleton calls out in Woldian-Below (undercommon) Highlight to display spoiler: {"Mortals, know your choices, submit and retain some of your essence and serve as we do the master. Resist and your remains will be put to such use as the master deems appropriate."}
--------------- Light Sources and Illumination just a reminder your torches, everburning lances, lit maces, and glowing swords, provide normal vision in a 20 foot radius and provide you dim vision in a 40 foot radius. Low light can See up to 40 foot from a torch light source and gets 20 feet of murky shadows beyond that. ALSO, you don't need to be in the light field to see what the light field reveals. Example. You can be on the west side of someone carrying a torch and outside that light field, but still see to the extent of your vision east of the light source.
By the way I don't know if you realized it but you have raised to level 10, by my calculations you should be at 106,000xp and some change. Some of you are keeping better track of exp than others. ONCE you rest, you can actually raise your characters. But that means also getting your character sheets fixed up.

Stohp advances as the the way clears.
Zanderallen advances drawing an AOO and strikes at the creature just missing even with flanking from Micah.
Stock charges forth and swings at the skeletal warrior but just barely misses.
Carver makes a ride by on the bone thing and misses.
Micah moves into the flanking position. Don't you have to make an attack roll if you intend to aid another? All I see are your knowledge rolls. He identifies the creatures in the room. 1 - A Bone Golem: A - Magical effects that heal living creatures slow a bone golem (as the slow spell) for 1d4 rounds (no save). B - A magical attack that deals negative energy damage breaks any slow effect on the golem and heals 1 point of damage for every 3 points of damage the attack would otherwise deal. C - A raise dead, resurrection, or true resurrection spell negates its DR and immunity to magic for 1 minute. D - It has DR 5/adamantine and bludgeoning. Immune construct traits, magic 2 - They are Skeletal Champions: Immune sleep; SR 13 DR 5/bludgeoning, channel resistance +4, and immunity to cold. It has undead traits.
Bartomus moves in and slings a stone at ? you didn't specify a target, and you didn't specify what you meant by special bullets, this is important. The stone would hit any target but damage would depend on what the bullet was made from..

He just wasn't sure this was going to work unless he could get more of a "oomph" in his efforts. Then he remembered, he didn't use it that often when in the Float, but it could help. He stayed where he was at moved his hands together, taking the pinches of things needed to cast the spell, crossed his arms and rubbed each hand down the other arm. He felt the power surge and smiled, that has to help, he thought to himself.
Frig, sorry GM - S1 I believe is what I could see, bullet was one of the +2 bullets bought in The Crypts as an enhanced item. Staying at current location - casting Bull's Strength on self, +4 strength enhancement - so, is that a +4 to the STR 13 for 17 for a +3; or a +4 to the melee rolls?

Carver can just squeeze past Stock and the golem so he charges off towards the back wall, seems to step on the wall for a moment as his momentum chances and he threads the needle between the Golem and his team mate. He ends his turn at 10,11/T,U. He lowers the lance as he passes and.....

Bartomus casts a spell and powers up. okay, since the bullet was not made of adamantine the golem's DR negated 5 of the damage.
Carver charges and gets a really good hit on the golem. [/i]a lance is piercing so the golem's DR negates 5 from each hit.[/i]
Stohp comes in and attempts to trip the golem but fails, however she is now blocking Carver's line of charging.
Zanderallen does a little side step and hits the golem. Alas his sword is neither adamantine or bludgenoning so the Golem's DR absorbs some of it, and the magic immunity makes Zander's blows far weaker.
Micah calls out some advice and then uses a wand on the golem.
Sid lets loose with some more sling stones and hits with one only to see it bounce off to no effect. sorry DR5/ Adamantine AND bludgeoning.

When he heard what Micah shared, he had an idea. It might actually be better than the other idea with the fireball and the trogs in the other dark room, he thought to himself.
"Ok, let's give this a shot then, if healing hurts that and those, let's give it a shot." He looked at the golem and at where the other Shields were and then began moving his fingers as he got out of his spell pouch what was needed, finished the words and gesters flicking his fingers at the Golem's far side.

Carver looks over his shoulder as a blunt weapon was asked for...., yup, there in his pack was a flail. So, "I'm gonna drop a flail at your feet, just give it back later..., there's nothing special about it." If Carver was using a normal shield, this would be impossible, but since it's a ring..... He declares a charge against Skeleton 1, as he starts his tour of the room on the way to his charge, he reaches back as part of the "move" and draws the flail from his weapon racks..... He drops towards the wall, circles up around to be next to Sid, and drops the flail at his feet in square 14,t, he then reverses course and from the wall, he charges to 18,19/N,O, using almost all of his movement.... He strikes at the skeleton as he charges past.

One down, two to go. Zander thinks as he turns back to the bone golem. He's glad he knows a good blacksmith as he winces at the thought of what all these bones are doing to the edge of his sword. Hopefully enchantments helped hold an edge. But even with his reservations about his blade he lands two square blows on the golem. --------------------------------- Holy 86 rounds remaining Bless +1 Att 7 rounds remaining Flank +2 Att

One down, two to go, thinks Micah, unknowingly echoing the paladin's thoughts.
He focuses on the getting through the golem's thick skin--Micah is not even sure what to call it--and uses the martial gifts of Domi to make the strike do more damage. He sees an opening and strikes the mace soundly on the creature's torso, inhaling in satisfaction as he sees is blow do some damage.

The party now stands in the entry room to the something. Stock sways slightly bleeding and feeling his strength ebb from his limbs. Ahead is a double bronze door.

He watched the fight and the destruction that his fellow Shield's had wrought in a bit of a bewildered daze. But, when it was over, he also noticed that Stock was fading pretty fast. He walked over to Stock and began trying to assess what was wrong. "Hey Stock I think you might have been impacted with the weapons they were using, here's a couple of the healing potions, they might help? Hey folks, I think Stock is going to need some help and some rest."

Micah looks around, a bit dazed by the sudden absence of animate foes.
Bart's words draws his attention to Stock's condition. He quickly belts his mace and looses his shield so that he can rummage to his pack as he moves next to the dwarf. Pulling his kit out of his bag, he starts to work on his wounds. "Nasty stuff," he mutters as he sees the impact of the poison on the sturdy dwarf's body.
He looks at Carver as he says, "I agree. We have used a lot of reserves now."
He will watch Stock. Once Micah is assured that his condition as stabilized, he will inform the others to watch over him as he prays. After about 15 minutes, he will then cast restoration on the barbarian, healing all strength damage.
Assuming they decide to rest here, Micah will channel energy twice before doing so until all are cured of their wounds.

Zanderallen hurries over to Stock as soons as Bart calls out. Seeing Bart expertly attending to the poisoned wounds Zander stows his shield freeing a hand. "Bart is giving you about the best natural care for the poison you'll get but let's see if some divine aid can get rid of it." He kneels and lays a hand on the wound, calling on Domi's power to cleanse it. Stock feel a rippling warmth burn through his veins as the poison is neutralized from his system. Taking a few deep breathes to stave off his sudden weariness Zander clasps Stock on the shoulder, "Good as new old friend. This room is not a bad place to rest. We have two solid doors to bar against intruders." ------------------------------------------------------- Lays on Hands on Stock CL check of 24(d20+9) equals poison DC Neutralize Poison Mercy on Stock Stock heals 15 hp as well

Sid goes to through the wreckage and searches for anything that might be of use. Once finished he stands and stretches, "So we resting here? Then alright, I am getting a bit tired." He moves to the door they came through, closes it, and will try and lock it. Then he goes to the other door, with look for traps and disarm them, but not unlock the door if it is locked.

Fully healed Stock gives a couple experimental swings of his flail to make sure the poison is fully out of his system, "Thanks guys. I wouldn't mind a little shut eye." Stock helps make sure the door are secured and then clears an area of bone and dust large enough for everyone to camp.

Stock is ready for a rest. ------
Sid is able to secure the door through which the party entered the room. Most of the party seems ready to call it a night, but Sid keeps on searching. He does discover that the opposite doors are indeed trapped. And while the party prepares to rest, Sid disables the device, letting them know that he can re-activate it if needed. It was particularly nasty as it was spikes designed to pop out of the door.
The party rests...

Stohp checks the door - are there cracks light can be seen through? If not then she suggests they light up the chamber. That will let all the watchmen immediately see any intruders that come through the door. She'll take a middle shift and of course wake the others if intruders appear - the only likely intruder is the mage they're after.

Bartomus nodded at Carver, "Got it, I need a fair rest as well, especially if we expect more of those," he said pointing at the bones and dust about. "If you take last, I can take first Carver?"
When Stohp suggested things be kept lit, Bartomus offered, "I could light the floor where Sid found that nasty spikey thing, won't last the whole night but if there is a torch I can use during my watch, I can do it when I'm about to go to sleep and it would last for good while."
If agreed, I will take the first or the last. If the first, then at the end of my watch, will cast Light on the floor where the trap is located duration 100 minutes. I think Bart would be watching with his eyes, standing with glave and his large eyes darting back and forth. Perception 31 - He might try to ascertain what the threat is and then bellow accordingly.

If Stohp finds any cracks where light would come in Zander suggest stuffing them with their cloaks and the robes of the skeletal champions. [b]"Good thinking Stohp, I agree that we should keep the room lit. We can do 4 watches of 2 so that everyone can get a full rest. I can take 3rd watch." During his watch Zander will stay somewhat in the middle of the room near his sleeping companions while going to the doors to listen for a bit every 15 minutes or so.

Well," summarizes Micah, "It appears we have a plan for watches."
=========== Perception 23 Micah takes all the frost bolts because he can use the repeating crossbow. Anyone else is welcome to some of them. Those on watch periodically check the doors for sounds.
To summarize for the DM and attempting to compile the consensus plans. Light sources on (we have several everburning torches) to fully illuminate the chamber, but cracks under and around doors blocked with cloaks or other covering material.
Watch Order (unless there is no objection) Five watches 2 hours each. Total time 10 hours. Watch 1: Bart Watch 2: Micah and Sid Watch 3: Zanderallen and Stohp Watch 4: Stock Watch 5: Carver
Instructions are for those on watch to wake up the others.

Stock shakes his head and beats his meaty palm on his ear. "Weird place. It felt like an out of body experience for a while. Glad we won anyway. Nice to be able to rely on you guys. Fourth watch is fine for me. Keep your eyes open and weapons close."
He rubs his forearm where the poison coursed through his veins and sighs.

Sid agrees with taking second watch. "I trace for four hours and should be fine." He makes sure that the ever burning torches are well placed so that they will have plenty of light. For his watch he settles in and goes through his auran softly, his bow Branwen at the ready in his hands.
DM Robert - "Keep your eyes open and weapons close." Saturday August 1st, 2020 11:12:15 AM
The party makes ready. The door beyond seems pretty tight, you can't see any cracks. The watch is set and the party catches some much needed rest.
Watch 1: Bart, The trap is not in the floor but the doors themselves. There are two everburning torches that Sid liberated. These can be set out along with Carver's Lance, and any other magical weapons laid ready at hand. Bartomus stands still and watches. Toward the end of his watch he thinks he hears something, perhaps the light scrap of nails on stone. His head darts about, and thinks he see's something small and stealthy dart back from the wall near the ceiling. He then see's that there appears to be a slight ledge along the ceiling (the ceiling is 15' high. Indeed there may be a hole up there in the corner wall of the doors, maybe 6 inches wide or so, it is dark, and hard to get to being so high. Might be a rat hole. Otherwise his watch is uneventful.
Watch 2: Micah and Sid: The two are wary and keep darting glances toward the 'rat-hole' that Bartomus pointed out. But nothing is seen or heard. The night passes uneventfully.
Watch 3: Zanderallen and Stohp: Stohp doesn't seem to be paying much attention no perception roll. Zanderallen keeps having his mind wander he keeps shaking his head trying to clear the fog and stay awake. They pass their watch seeing and hearing nothing and having no reason to wake up anyone.
Watch 4: Stock no perception roll made contemplates the strength in his body and the tingle the poison made in his system. Pre-occupied his watch passes uneventfully.
Watch 5: Carver - no perception roll goes about his watch blissfully unaware. Fortunately nothing happens.
Morning, well at least you assume it's morning. Stock seems to think it is, though some of you are loosing track of time down in the dark tunnels. Before you is the de-trapped double bronze doors. And there is that rat-hole in the wall near the ceiling.

He took the watch and sat, listening. Well, also looking about and trying to see if anything moved or was out of place. Then he heard it, the sound that something was moving up high and about. He didn't see it, but it sounded maybe like a rat, he was hoping it was a rat. It was up high in a corner and there looked to be a small hole up there.
When his watch came to an end, he made a point of telling Zander and Stohp about what he heard and where it seemed to have come from. Then he rolled out his bedroll and called it a day.

He then pulls out some rations and summons a little fresh water for breakfast. While chewing, he goes around picking up the cloth they used to black out and aids in distributing the unclaimed treasure.
"I guess our next act is to go through those doors," he says with a nod in that direction once the preparations are complete.

"I wonder if that rat hole is a ventilation shaft? I guess we can see once we get through this door. Everyone ready?" If everyone is ready Zander gives a couple last pulls to his armor straps, adjusts his gauntlet and moves up to the door, ready to open it.

Sid looks at the 'rat hole' and the trap on the door.
Carver collects all his weapons.
Bartomus, retro-actively posts to the last post.
Micah cleans up and is ready to go.
Stock looks at the rat hole.
Zanderallen is ready to go through the door.
Stohp thinks there's nothing to worry about.
------ To re-iterate, the 'rat-hole' is near the ceiling, which is 15 feet high. You want to look you need a boost.
Assuming Sid and Stock worked out some boosting, since they were interested and made some perceptions. 1 - No the rat hole is in no way connected to the doors. It goes into the wall and then turns away from the doors. 2 - You do note there is a bit of a ledge going from the rat hole along the wall for maybe a foot or so. And since you're looking.... Survival 15 or knowledge nature 15 Highlight to display spoiler: { there appears to be some tracks in the dust on the ledge and some in the hole. The appear more cat-like than rat-like though.}
Zanderallen throws open the doors and can make out that there is a corridor about 30 feet long, 10 feet wide and 10 feet high. It ends in a single standard size wooden door in the far end. You can see dust on the walls, and a few cobwebs along the ceiling.

"What kind of cat would be going through that? Anyone else want to look at this? I see cat paws and not rat paws in the dust." Sid, if no one else is interested, will make notes about what he saw. If an expert in the nature stuff becomes interested he will point out what he saw and then, after gathering the trusty everburning torches, will stow one and begin looking down the hall just in front of people, or just behind Stock, whatever the case maybe.

Stock wonders about cat familiars. There are a lot of tracks, mostly down the center of this hallway. Looks like someone(s) have been going to a fro regularly and recently. However there are no cat tracks. I'm attaching a 'dungeon' map for you to keep track of.

Zanderallen is perhaps over ready. Are you sure you want to activate anything BEFORE you open the door?

Sid examines the door for traps and other unknowns. If it is safe he will listen to the door(2nd roll is for listening if you want a 2nd roll). Gently he pulls out his picks and as quietly as he can releases the door's lock. He then looks back and gestures that he will get out of the way and that when they are ready. He pulls out Branwen and readies the attack.

When the door opens Stock goes left, eyes open for either traps in the upcoming room or something worse.

Zanderallen moves into the room with Stock.

As you swing the door open and move into the room everyone please make a fortitude roll DC 10. If you fail you sneeze from the sudden dust, the musty odor of old bones, and a strange strong pungent smell.
The room is dimly lit by everburning torches set into the walls randomly about the room (the orange boxes). Their light made even more dim by many cobwebs and layers of dust. At a quick glance you see many tables of various sizes all about the room (the brown filled areas). The tables have a variety of things upon them and apparently in shelves below them. Nearby you can make out what appears to be bones on the tables. Knowledge Nature 15 Highlight to display spoiler: {they appear to be very old lizard folk bones.}
The ceiling in this room is 15 feet high. On the far southeast wall is what appears to be a dark door. Nearby that door (west of it) you think you see something dangling from the ceiling.
Please feel free to name what you are doing, and if you are making any specific rolls... i.e. perception, what are you looking at/for or investigating. knowledge rolls...arcane, nature, religion, etc. survival? detection spells? that's a hint, if I named it, it may be useful, then again if I didn't name something it's because sometimes you guys come up with some weird ways of finding things out.

Stock's nose wrinkles as he enters the room. His eyes take in the room and his head slowly turns looking around the room. Seeing the bones he says, "...lizardfolk bones...and very old at that...".
He then kneels down in the dust and tries to identify any tracks he sees in the room.

Bartomus stipped into the room and the scents and dust swirled about him. But, he didn't sneeze and looked about and when Stock pointed to the bones on the table, he looked and shook his head in agreement. Then he looked about at a few of the other tables, and the shelves using his glave to part the spider web veils. [b]"So, long ago, you think there was fighting between the Drow and the Lizard Folk? Could the kobolds and the lizard folk we have been meeting have something in common in the long, long ago? What do you think we have come into? A library for someone? "[b]

Micah takes note of the surroundings, noticing the reactions of some of the others, he assumes his amulet has protected him from some irritant in the air.
Lizardfolk? he echoes. There was, in fact, fighting between those two races. Zanderallen, do you remember what our lizardfolk friends told us about that?"
He casts detect magic and looks around, careful not to disturb anything.

Zander wrinkles his nose at the smell but otherwise has no reaction. He moves into the room eyeing whatever is hanging in the far corner. "I'm trying to remember Micah.

Sid starts sneezing, and then he starts coughing. His elvish sneezes are naturally whisperish and higher pitched, but the sound does echo into the room. "Ffloyd's Broom, don't Necromancers clean? What's the point of eternal undead servitors if they don't do your chores for you?" Sid sniffs more and pulls out a cloth to blow his nose into and clear his eyes.
Once done he begins to examine the room for traps and hidden passages.
DM Robert - "There was, in fact, fighting between those two races." Thursday August 6th, 2020 8:31:01 PM Please indicate your coordinates in the room.
Stohp didn't pay attention to the text and should have made a fortitude roll to avoid sneezing examines the woodwork. It's stout and basic, except for the far door which is made of darkwood.
Carver looks around and then starts trying to detect evil.
Stock identifies some nearby bones and then starts trying to do some tracking.
Bartomus looked around the room trying to get a sense of things, and mostly getting a mad scientist Halloween sense of it.
Micah tries to remember his history and casts detect magic. Yes your necklace protects you.
Zanderallen looks at the hanging things and casts detect evil.
Sid, after a sneezing fit, wonders why the necromancer couldn't just have some cleaning skeletons.
____ I repeat, Please indicate your coordinates in the room.However, you are not in combat so you can take 10 or take 20.
Stock can make out a path through the centerish of the room (the gray path). It looks like a lot of things passed through from the other door and out the one you came in from.
High on the wall, at location 1 (both of them) you note that strange 'rat-hole' you also notice there are no cobwebs around either hole.
A is a vat of acid, set into the floor. Above it hanging on hooks with chain pullies are bones. You surmise this could be a way of cleaning fresh kills to make them into skeletons or that bone golem.

The other tables hold incomplete skeletons of a variety of creatures, you note: lizard folk, kobold, elf (drow), and some animal bones. All are fairly old.
Carver and Zanerallen pick up multiple little pings of evil, all told 9 scattered about the room, but they are tiny and weak in indication. They also appear to be moving slowly.

Stohp stopped right at the start of the room to look at the first table (T/U 24/25). As she runs a finger along it she breaks into a sneezing fit. "So bad guys lab. Lets not linger, we can come back and loot it after we find him if you guys really want to."

I mean it's like we are in some weird nightmare place," Bartomus asked as he walked about the table with all of the old bones on it. He noticed some with something scratched on them, but he couldn't recognize the language. He also noticed the hole high up that was being used by something. He spent a bit of time trying to see if anything was coming down to the floor or along the wall or table below the obviously used hole. When he heard Stock saying they should stay on the path, he looked down and then froze. "Um, well, um, uh?"

Micah takes a look at the first table. He sucks in a deep gasp of breath as he realizes what he is seeing. "There is sufficient material here to make another clockwork golem," he exclaims.
Looking at the other table, he cannot make it out for sure and wonders if this was some gruesome butcher table.
When Sid mentions the tools, he responds, "These are very nice, but I am not much of a jeweler and I already have a good set of smithing tools."
When Zanderallen reports on the what he senses, Micah readies his shield to bash anything that might attempt to attack him, joining Zanderallen near the center.

Sid nods to Micah, "Really? Man, I need to study more. I worked out that this is probably what the golem was made of but I didn't think there were enough pieces to make another. So much studying to do." Sid puts the tools in his handy haversack and uses the bag his kit came in to put all the delicate things he can. Once those are nice and secure he puts them in the Shields Haversack. "We can divvy up or dispose as we wish later, but on the off chance we don't stop this guy we should slow him down.

Suddenly the group hears what sounds like several people drumming their fingers on a table. There is a scurrying of movement as tiny clouds of dust puff up from on top of tables and under them. You see several severed hands springs to life, its fingers propelling it forth at great speed like a deformed spider. Racing across tables and floors they attack!
Three leap of tables and attack Sid. One lands on him and starts crawling up his torso. The other 2 land at his feet (they are diminutive so they occupy the same square).
One leaps off a table and attacks Stohp, but it misses and lands on the floor.
One leaps off a table and attacks Carver, again pathetically missing your touch AC.
One scurries across the floor to attack Zanderallen but can't seem to crawl up his leg, missing.
Three scurry across the floor to attack Micah (please take your AOO on one, AC 14). One manages to climb on and quickly starts crawling up. (That is not one that you hit.)

Bartomus was a bit surprised when things started moving, There were dust clouds and racing things; and when his eyes focused in on the racing things, it looked it was a moving hand without any body or anything. One went at Carver, but missed and Bartomus swung at his glave trying to hit the boney thing.
