Re: Zilean's Revenge (Part 5)

"...Well, that went surprisingly well." Rolf looked around to make sure that the tiefling or any of the smashed skeletons were trying to get up from under the wreckage (or reinforements showing up to see what had happened.).

Horizon takes the initiative, planting a boot on Siphs back and kicking him into the Skeleton.

Looking over the wreckage, Rolf finds a pair of skeletons 'struggling' under the flaming logs, and easily disposes of them with a kick of the boots. He finds what he assumes to be the Tiefling skeleton (judging by the tail), now lacking a skull, and mostly crushed. In the distance, he can see a squabble happening right outside the tent. As for other forms of reinforcements... The area appears to be devoid of any.

The skeleton prepares to slash at Horizon, but the unexpected (and cursing) paladin hinders its aim: it only deals a glancing blow.

Combat:

Rolf can roll initiative if he wants to, joining next round, as well as roll a history check. Zthulan's turn.

Lyntermas Thu Sep 25, 2014 10:54 pm

Rolf dispelled his invisibility, gave a wave at Jeraylia to let her know the coast was clear, then started running to the center tent to join the fray...He couldn't help thinking that there was something worth remembering, though.

Rolling History...8 (1d20) + 9 = 17

Rolling Initiative...Nat 20!

Jeraylia flashes an impish, but encouraging, smile towards the paladins, then hurdles from the cart and sprints to catch up to Rolf, leap frogging across blocks of wreckage.

I'll jump in next round, shall I?
Init roll for the future!: 7.

"Well I suppose that technique works." Zthulan rushes forward past Horizon and Siph, spear in hand with Koras striking from above.

Zthulan and Koras's attacks are enough to strike down the skeleton!

Rolf feels a nagging feeling that something's off about something. But it's probably nothing terribly important.

Skeleton bouncer KO's, so mini-combat over. Proceed as normal. You're all presumably together, apart from Bob and the one paladin that stayed behind.

Horizon watches the skeleton topple, then turns to see the others running up. "Great timing. I see you decided to give up on subtlety and just tear the entire camp down." He then gestures to the dark tent door. "What do you make of that? I imagine it's one of your areas of expertise, because it certainly isn't mine."

Azarune Mon Sep 29, 2014 9:12 am

Turning to see what caught Horizon's attention Zthulan waves others. "How was it by the gate?" Glancing over the others shoulder he notices a few missing. "I hope that you guys didn't need my healing abilities that badly." He mutters worriedly.

Lyntermas Wed Oct 01, 2014 1:17 am

"We thought that setting the walls on fire would draw attention away from you guys. We had a bit of a scuffle, and one of the paladins in our group went down, but he's stable now. He's recuperating with Bob at the moment. Once all the skeletons were gathered near the walls, I felt it was a great opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Rolf turned toward the tent entrance. "Hmm, I'm curious as to the "black void" view looking in. Perhaps an illusion?" Rolf tried using his magic to detect any enchantments (illusion, shielding, or otherwise) was going on at the tent entrance.

Rolling Arcana...14 (1d20) + 14 = 28

A1C Bronymous Wed Oct 01, 2014 2:06 am

"I don't think it's an illusion." Horizon points out, "Not like it would serve the Lich any kind of purpose to hide what we'd be looking at."

Arcana assist, maybe with FK Illusion bonus?
2+8=10 (+5 FK=15)

Jeraylia lands behind the party, glancing left and right as she reaches them.
"Did you ring the bell yet?"

Zarhon Wed Oct 01, 2014 3:15 pm

Horizon and Rolf both identify the black 'interior' of the tent as some kind of magical or illusionary 'darkness', a smoke screen with none of the annoyances smoke usually provides. Unfortunately, this also makes it rather impossible to tell just how much it's obscuring - it might be as thick as a cloud, or it might be as thin as a curtain.

Azarune Wed Oct 01, 2014 4:55 pm

"Perhaps we should just burn out whatever is inside it?" Suggests Zthulan, as he tries to also pierce through the fog.

Perception: Dat Nat1.

Zarhon Wed Oct 01, 2014 6:47 pm

Zthulan pokes his head into blackness, piercing it sufficiently. Judging by the blackness surrounding him as he does so, it's not as thin as a curtain. It is also rather unnerving.

Lyntermas Wed Oct 01, 2014 9:53 pm

"Let's see if we can avoid blindly rushing in, shall we?" Rolf tries to use his magic to dispel the illusion.

Rolling Arcana...10 (1d20) + 14 = 24
...Assistance would be appreciated.

Broken Logic Fri Oct 03, 2014 6:18 am

Let's see what I know about the cover of darkness.
Assisting Rolf (arcana): 23 ( 16+7arcana )

Jeraylia says something surprisingly insightful about veils of darkness. And then also adds, "I could tell you tales all day and night about what happens in the dark, raunchy or otherwise. Like this one story about an eerie pale child who would wail like banshee in the midst of night whenever she wet the... ah, wait, no. That was me. Forget what I said."

Zarhon Fri Oct 03, 2014 1:47 pm

Rolf's attempt at dispelling the cloud falls flat with no effect, though with Jeraylia's assistance, he manages to discern the following about the darkness:
- A very powerful spellcaster made it. Removing it would be difficult.
- Light doesn't 'work' in the darkness, and visibility would be very poor (though still there) for those within. The boundaries/size of the cloud are now obvious, though.
- The darkness prevents anyone looking into, or looking out of it, without first exposing themselves, but is otherwise harmless by itself.
- It's encompassing most of the entrance as a sphere, large enough to 'fit' the entire party and paladins, whilst the rest of the tent is darkness-free.
- There is something, low to the ground, right where the entrance is, hidden by the cloud.

You can has perception checks.

Lyntermas Fri Oct 03, 2014 6:12 pm

"Another trap, I presume. Assuming, of course, this whole scenario isn't a set-up." Rolf tried to get a better look at the object.

Rolling Perception...16 (1d20) + 7 = 23

Azarune Fri Oct 03, 2014 6:43 pm

Investigating the darkness momentarily, Zthulan quickly exists the mist. "Well, that was an experience I don't wish to repeat again... Also it's deeper than a curtain." Shivering he makes his way to the back of the group.

Broken Logic Sat Oct 04, 2014 9:38 pm

"Shall we light this on fire, too?"

XD What is it with tonight and lighting things on fire?

Zarhon Sat Oct 04, 2014 10:28 pm

Rolf, with a closer look, determines that the hidden object is a metallic tripwire, positioned to snag the feet of anyone entering the tent carelessly.

Broken Logic Sun Oct 05, 2014 7:01 am

"Oh! Nice find, kid. It's a good thing Zthulan only stuck his head in." Jeraylia praises, ruffling Rolf's hair before kneeling down to examine the wire trap.

How's the trap set up?
Trap Mechanics: 16 (8+8mechanics)

"Well I'm assuming I can just toss this through, then?" Horizon lifts his vial. "Yes or no, now's the time."
