Oh and save vs. immobilization is at + 2 item bonus.

Sonya uses her amulet and makes another save. She rolls an 18+2 and is no longer immobilized.

Candelos:
Standard action: finish securing the bag over the gargoyle head.
Move action: pull out silk rope.
Free action: Say "here's some silk rope we can tie up it's wings with so it can.t fly away."

Sonya's turn...
Move Action: Move to the edge of the pit, if possible, step on the fewest different stairs possible so as to negate setting off traps.
Standard Action: If I can see G1 in the pit and if he's within 10 squares, throw shield to inflict damage. If I cannot see G1, then Ready Action, as soon as G1 flies within reach (either before or after attacking myself or an ally), take a Basic Axe attack.
...done...

Candelos' turn:
Standard: Candelos secures the bag that Kaddim put over gargoyle #2 head.
Move: pull out a rope (I believe it's a minor action...)

Sorry, Sonya's initiative changed when she readied an action. Now she is at the top of the order after Tia and before G1.

The current initiative order is
Thia, Sonya, G1, Candelos, G2, Miri, Kaddim

Gargoyle #2's turn:
At the start of his turn he regenerates...

Minor: Revert from stone
Standard: Remove bag from head
If it wasn't tied I'd think this would be a move action, but since it was secured and he has 20+ Str, a single standard action should work.

Free:
In (primordial), which only Kaddim can understand
Hey Marble, where are you

Gargoyle #1
I'm only my way down to the pit. They're too tough, they took out Girdy fast.

Gargoyle #2
Yeah good idea, I think I'll join you.

Move: Fly (provoking an AoO from Candelos and Kaddim)

Do Candelos and Kaddim take their swings?

Yes. I take my swing.

Ross wrote:Yes. I take my swing.

Kaddim takes an AoO on G2
MBA 25 vs Ac hits for 13hp of damage.

Man, you guys are on a roll this encounter.

He should be within 10 feet of you since it was slowed and that's it's full movement.

So, we're waiting to see if Candelos takes his attack of opportunity and then it is Miri's turn, then Kaddim's turn, then Thia.

I don't know why he wouldn't. Let's just assume he does.

Teramotos wrote:So, we're waiting to see if Candelos takes his attack of opportunity and then it is Miri's turn...

standard action: 'Magic Missle' the Gargoyle #2 that had the bag on its head.

move action: shift 5' adjacent to it so I can take an AoO with my staff if it tries to fly off

free action: "Surrender, tell us what's upstairs, and we might not kill you..."

Yes, Candelos will take the AoO

Mick wrote:Yes, Candelos will take the AoO

Candelos takes an AoO on G2 17 vs Ac miss.

Miri's turn:
Gargoyle #2 flew into the pit on its turn drawing AoO from Kaddim and Candelos.

From where Miri is there are no gargoles in sight.

I'll just ready an action to Magic Missle then... which I assume means no attack. I'll also do a move action 2 squares W to the base of the stairs.

Miri's turn:
Move: Miri moves 2W to the base of the stairs
Standard: ready an action to Magic Missile if an enemy presents themselves.

Kaddim's turn

Tell everyone, "I think they left. They said we were too menacing."

Delay.

Ross wrote:Tell everyone, "I think they left. They said we were too menacing."

Delay.

After Kaddim is Thia, then Sonya.

I need to get as many people to assist me as I can to try and disarm this trap. Anyone?

If I get some takers, I will try to disable the trap again.

Sonya's Standard action: Aid Thia with the Trap
Move Action: move to a better position to assist if required.
Minor (out of heals) - Free Action: say "I was pretty familiar with seige engines and gate mechanisms, I'll see if I can help you figure out the trap Thia; or I can use my axe as a level to help give you access between the stairs."

I'll try assisting as well.

Thia will need to get adjacent to the other party members.

How will she get off of the stairs?

Can she do a standing jump (no run) off the stairs?

Krystoff wrote:Can she do a standing jump (no run) off the stairs?

If Miri moves out of the way... Thia can easily jump down the stairs.

With the help of the party Thia is able to disable the trap on the stairs (she had three successes and only one failure).

It took five rounds for the party to disable the trap. During that time I'm assiming that Miri casts a light in the pit and at least one PC is monitoring the gargolyles (which seem to be in stone form).

What does the party want to do next?

There is one more set of stairs (probably trapped) and 2 gargoyles around.

We are some hurting units with Kaddim being out of surges and I am down to 1. We need to take a rest if we can.

Thia spends several rounds taking a look at the last flight of stairs and does not detect any traps. She also does not see the "seems" that were present on the two previous flights of stairs.

Does the party want to attempt a rest here or somewhere else?

...clearly a short rest is in order. Then we need to identify a place where we can take an extended rest.

I say we take an extended on the stairs. If we go forward we probably won't find a place to immediately rest without a fight.
Maybe I'll try talking to the Gargoyles while we hang out.

Yeah, we can try for an extended on the stairway. At least there's only two directions enemies can attack us from.

The party is able to take a short rest and are not interrupted.

After the short rest, how will Kaddim attempt communication with the gargoyles? Or do you try for an extended rest before communicating with them?

In Primordial say,

Rock creatures, we wish to parlay with you.

We mean you no harm, but we will retaliate if attacked, as we did earlier.

We are trapped here as you are and are searching for a way out. We have allied with a many groups already and plan on taking all of them with us when we leave. We would welcome you into this alliance as well, if you were willing to cooperate with us. All we really ask is to allow safe passage through your area as needed, as well as disclose information on what is ahead. Then when we find a way through we'll come back here and escort everyone out.

What say you?

What say you?

There is no response from the gargoyles. Looking down into the pit, they still seem to be in stone form, but you can't tell for sure due to the distance and their natural coloring.

Ross wrote:In Primordial say...

Miri (to Kaddim): "It's not polite to talk in a language we can't all understand... What'd you say?"

Give Miri a quick glance of disdain and don't even dignify her question with a response.

I will then tap on the the stone floor with my sword, and see if I get any movement from them. If I see any movement I will repeat what I said before.

If no response I'll tell everyone to just rest, and attempt an extended rest, but someone always keeping an eye on the gargoyles, preferably two people at a time.

After you tap on the floor and repeat your message you hear a voice from the pit.

A wizard commanded us to gaurd the stairs and told us to not allow anyone to pass. We can not stop you so you may pass. The wizard may seek you out, but it has been a long time since we've seen him.

We cannot leave this location and do not know what lies above or below.

Why can't you leave? Because the wizard commanded you not to?

Miri will say, to no one in particular, in Goblin, "How rude!"

Ross wrote:Why can't you leave? Because the wizard commanded you not to?

We were summoned to guard this location and can not leave until commanded by the wizard or the wizards death. We have tried many times so the wizard must still live, though it has been a very long time.

If Kaddim relays the information then I will say "We go to kill the wizard so that will mean you can leave."

Krystoff wrote:If Kaddim relays the information then I will say "We go to kill the wizard so that will mean you can leave."

Then we will guard you.

We will tell you when creatures approach. The gargoyle then takes stone form and is silent.


The party may take an extended rest here. Let me know what items the party wishes Miri to create.

The party may also LEVEL UP to 9th level. Let me know what changes you'd like to make to your PC so I can update the character builder and MapTools tokens.
