Level 3

Current PC Status:
Kaddim 74/79hp with 10/11 surges
Sonya 65/66hp with 7/9 surges
Thia 60/65hp with 6/7 surges
Miri 58/58hp with 8/9 surges
Candelos 78/78hp with 13/14 surges

I'm showing each PC has one AP and one Daily item usage available.


Note: If PC want to make use of any items found you'll have to let me know.

Climbing the stairs to level 3 the party enters a corridor which travels north/south. Directly across from the stair is another set of stairs leading to level 4.

From level 3 you can tell that there is a door at the top of the stairs leading to level 4.




Which direction would the party like to go? What will the order be?

You can tell that the corridor north turns and heads east.
The corridor south turns and heads west.

South.

Normal order I guess with Candelos and Thia up front for the perception and a defender. Sonya and Kaddim next for the leader and the second defender and Miri bringing up the rear.

Agree...in addition, Sonya will have out the light shield with the daily power rather than the normal heavy shield right now. As I get lower on surges, I'll switch back to the heavy shield for the extra AC for myself.

The party move south, then west.

You come to a set of double doors leading west.

Candelos and Thia are in the lead neither detects a trap or hears anything.


The door isn't locked and Candelos cautiously opens the door.

The room to the west is pitch black. Unlike other area that have been magically lit, this area has no lighting.

Thia and Candelos both have low-light vision and can currently see 2 squares into the room. They see what looks like an alcove with bones littered about to the north. The south and west seems like open area from where you're at.




How do you want to proceed?

...anyone have a magic light? If no one else is going to make a light, Sonya will light a sunrod from her standard kit and hold it in the same hand as her light magic shield.

Teramotos wrote:...anyone have a magic light? If no one else is going to make a light, Sonya will light a sunrod from her standard kit and hold it in the same hand as her light magic shield.

Sonya lights up a sunrod and exposes a bit more of the room.



You can see that the room expands out west and south.
There appears to be a door leading west on the west wall.

How do you wish to proceed?

Candelos will take the lead.
Moves through the door 3 spaces W
Ready action to attack if something move towards him.

Miri will also cast 'Light' max distance W (straight in front of us).

Candelos moves 3W into the room.



Candelos readies an action to attack if attacked.


I've rolled initiative and the PC order will be:
Candelos
Miri
Thia
Kaddim
Sonya

Miri's turn:
Minor: Miri cast light 5W. Nothing new is illuminated.

Miri has a move and standard action remaining.

Thia's turn... then Kaddim

Thia will delay until after Kaddim and Sonya.

Kaddim's turn...

Move in front of the first Alcove to the North and look in, weapons at the ready.

Ross wrote:Move in front of the first Alcove to the North and look in, weapons at the ready.

Sorry, forgot to read the first part when Candelos entered...

A nauseating stench of death and decay wafts from the darkness ahead of you. The ceiling is barely high enough for the tallest among you to walk upright, and the darkness seems almost malevolent in its intensity.

When Kaddim approaches the alcove:

Niches in the walls hold dry bones and the scraps of funeral wrappings.

You don't see anything else, do you wish to ready an action for your standard action?

If so, Sonya will be next.

First move the rest of my movement to the West, then I will ready an action. Charge first enemy I can reach, or just swing at him if it appears close enough.

Ross wrote:First move the rest of my movement to the West, then I will ready an action. Charge first enemy I can reach, or just swing at him if it appears close enough.

Kaddim finishes his move (moving 2 more to the west). He is able to look into the next alcove and sees the same as the first (bones tattered rags).

Kaddim readies an action to charge/attack an enemy.



Sonya's turn... (the one with the light...)

Sonya -
Move action - 3 W, then 1 SW, then 1 S.
Standard action - Ready an action to charge and attack an enemy. If there is a choice, flank the one Kaddim attacks. If I can't flank, then the same one as Kaddim.

Thia moves 2W to get into the room and readies a twin strike on the first enemy seen.

Sonya's turn:
Move: Sonya moves into the room with the light and exposes more of the room.




Standard:
Sonya readies an action to attack if something attacks the party


Thia's turn...

Krystoff wrote:Thia moves 2W to get into the room and readies a twin strike on the first enemy seen.

Thia's turn:
Move: Thia moves west

Moving next to the alcove Thia spots a rat (small sized) at the back of the alcove nibbling on a bone. It doesn't seem to acknowledge you, it just keeps about it's nibbling.






Do you still want to ready an action?

Hey! Didn't Miri also cast a 'light' spell in this room too?

You casted it 5W when you were at the back of the party. The light spell is currently 1W of your current position. The wall adjacent to it blocks most of it's light and the sunrod has greater area of affect and illuminates more area to the west.



Currently waiting to see if Thia changes her action... Otherwise Top of the order with Candelos.

Now I have had this problem before with a scorpion in a different game. When you say small sized do you mean the size of a normal rat or do you mean the size of a hobbit?

Thia points out the rat at the back of the alcove to Kaddim and Sonya if they can see it.

Small as in halfling... Normal rats are Tiny.

Even with Thia pointing it out they don't see it. Thia barely can see it with her passive perception of 26. It is only partially exposed and blends in very well with its surroundings.

Crap, I was hoping it was a normal sized tiny rat. Halfling sized rats are never a good thing. Does it seem very similar to the ones we fought down in that trap by the charnal lord?

In any case, I ask the rest of the group what I should do about it since it isn't attacking or even paying attention to us. I will skip the readied action for this round.

Ignore the rat for now...

Candelos will moveS,SE,S.

Ready action to attack if something move towards him.

It looks just like the rats the party fought on level 1.

Candelos' turn:
Move: Candelos moves to the south east.



Standard: Candelos readies an action to attack something.

Miri's turn, then Kaddim

Dwarmaj wrote:

standard action: ready action 'Magic Missile' on rat if someone else attacks it.

Move: Shift 1 East

Miri's turn:
Move: move west and south
Minor: cast light to the south



Miri's light spell reveals a door heading east to the south.

Standard: ready an action to Magic Missle the rat is someone else attacks it

Kaddim's turn...

Ross wrote:Move: Shift 1 East
Standard: Attack the rat North of Thia.
Minor: Use Aegis to mark the rat.

Kaddim's turn:
Move: shift 1E
Standard: attack the rat to the NE

Miri's readied action kicks in...
MM the rat 24-5 (can't see it) vs Ref miss

Kaddim's Standard:
MBA on the rat 25-5-2=18 vs Ac miss.
I believe cover and invisble stack since they are different types of penalties.

Minor:Mark the rat.

After Kaddim's turn the rat goes...

Rat's turn:
Standard: take a bit at Kaddim
Bite 30-2(cover) vs Ac hits for 5hp of damage



Thia's turn...
At the start of Thia's turn she takes 2hp of damage from an aura generated by the rat.

Goddamn rat!

Move: Shift 1S
Minor: HQ the rat
Standard: Twin Strike the rat.

I can't see the map at work. If it is my turn, I'll do the following:
If I can, I'll move into flanking position to attack the rat. If I cannot flank, I'll just move into attack position.
Standard action will be to attack the rat, use Hammer and Anvil and give Kaddim another strike. If the rat has cover from my attack, I'll just use Commander's Strike instead and let Kaddim attack.
If I wasn't able to move into position to attack at all, I'll drop the sunrod as a free action, draw a javalin as a minor action, move into throwing position as a move action and throw as a standard action.
Done...

Move: shift 1S

TS #1 20 vs Ac miss
TS #2 28 vs Ac hits for 10+2hp of damage. The rat is now dead.

When the rat dies the party hears lots of "squeeks" from the west, south west, and south. It sounds like a lot more rats.

Candelos hears some type of movement from the room to the south east. It sounds like stone grinding against stone, then a thud as something heavy falls to the ground.




Kaddim's turn, then Sonya...

Delay, but say, "Candelos, get into Thia's spot. Girls, get between us and the door in case we need to make a hasty retreat."

Dwarmaj wrote:

This isn't right. Our order got messed up somewhere. It was:

I've rolled initiative and the PC order will be:
Candelos
Miri
Thia
Kaddim
Sonya

Candelos' ready action didn't kick in, Miri's did, then...

Krystoff wrote:Thia will delay until after Kaddim and Sonya.

I believe we should have resolved Sonya's action before Thia, and our new initiative should be:

Candelos, Kaddim, Miri, Sonya, Thia (plus the baddies)

Sorry, I forgot to move Thia when she delayed last turn.

It should be Sonya's turn then Thia. I'll try to resolve things when I get home.

Ross wrote:Delay, but say, "Candelos, get into Thia's spot. Girls, get between us and the door in case we need to make a hasty retreat."

Miri: "I only used 'Wall of Fire' so far, so I still have 'Flaming Sphere' & a 'Wall of Fog'. If you boys can plug the passage from the West, and my 'Flaming Sphere' can block the South passage where Candelos is, we might be in a great defensible position."

Ok, After Kaddim was the rat. After the rat was Sonya.

Not sure what Sonya wants to do...

The rat is in an alcove so you can't flank. You can move adjacent and give Kaddim an attack, but the rat has cover vs Kaddim.

Okay, I'm at home and can see the map.
Free Action: Drop Sunrod in the square I'm currently in
Move Action: Move 2 N
Standard Action: MBA (not going to use up an encounter power on this rat) on the rat
Minor Action: Using hand with light shield, draw javalin

2N would put you in Thia's square. Did you want to move east of Thia? The rat will have cover if you do.

Stu, the map you looked at was after Thia's turn, but her turn was supposed to come right after yours, not before, so Thia hasn't had a chance to shift yet.

Well, I know that Thia is going to shift, so just move me in the initiative order so that I'm after Thia. Never know, I might need the + 2 to hit.

Teramotos wrote:Well, I know that Thia is going to shift, so just move me in the initiative order so that I'm after Thia. Never know, I might need the + 2 to hit.

It looks like Sonya will be delaying...

Thia's action will happen just as they did before, she shifted and killed the rat.

Sonya's turn.
