Morik's Run (IC - Morik. GreyWolfVT only)

[GreyWolfVT]

Find/Remove Traps Thief Skill Checks[1d100] = 16
Morik will also be feeling the floor with his feet to ensure he does not walk right back into the pit.

[Grognardsw]

Morik feels along the left (south) wall, searching for traps or secret compartments as he does so. The wall goes about 15' feet, then turns east at an angle out about 25 to the stairway. From there, it goes at an angle northwest for 25', turns south for about 15'' until he's back at the door. The thief figures the room is triangular shaped with the stair entry the tip of the triangle and the wide base being the other end, where Morik is at the door.

[GreyWolfVT]

Hmm so the map is changed my idea was way off from the sounds of it.
Morik takes a deep breath and goes through the door only after searching it for tripwires and other traps. Thief Skill Checks[1d100] = 79

Morik opens the creaking door - intentionally squeeky he wonders? A short 10' corridor is revealed, leading into a room from which torch light emanates. The thief examines the immediate floor and ceiling in front of him for traps and finds none.

Morik slinks to the entry of the room. From his position in the southeast corner, he sees the room is 20' across and 30' long. To his right in the middle of the east wall is a door. Across from it in the west wall is a 1' diameter metal gong, held inside a locked cage with bars an inch apart. The distance from bars to the gong is about 16".

Above the gong is a wall sconce with a lit torch. In the middle of the room, getting up from a simple wooden chair, is a roguish chap with a 10' pole. He twirls it expertly and says: "Your task: ring the gong. My task: stop you."

Swinging the pole, the man leaps toward Morik!

[GreyWolfVT]

Morik throws his candle at the man then slips out into the shadows attempting to conceal himself. The attempt here is distraction then try and slip in and put the torch out so he can't see me. If Morik is successful and can draw the man into the lightless alcove he will try to sneak back into the lit room and put the torch out. Morik will use the torch throwing it at the area where the gong was.

Okay, please roll to throw the candle, unless you're not concerned if it reaaly hit. The only shadows are the 10' corridor between the room and door. It is dim but not dark there; -10% on hide in shadows roll, which you can roll. Thanks.

Hit Candle [1d20] = 5

Hide in Shadows 37%

Thug and Gong - Round One

The thug with the pole walks over to the short corridor.

"Nice try," he says with an evil smile. He swings the pole at Morik. The thief ducks.

Actions for Round Two!

Thug hit Morik [1d20] = 6, dam [1d4] = 1. Miss

[GreyWolfVT]

Morik looks at the man with a disturbing smile "Yup but not my only idea."

Initial action:

Had a few ideas but wasn't sure what you would need of me to roll. I was thinking that I might be able to tangle the man up in my rope with the grappling hook. Or try and make a mad dash past him. The third being to throw a dagger at the gong if it is even in range.

Based upon what you said in the PM I'll go with mad dash past him then to try and get into range for the dagger throw.

Morik tries to run and slide past the man back into the room with the gong to attempt to get closer to throw a dagger at the gong.

guessing Dex check? Stat Check[1d20] = 9 DEX: 16

DM EDIT: Revised action due to DM oversight:

Yes I'd like to have tried the grapple move... that was a hit and dex check right?
Try to Grapple Hit[1d20] = 4
Stat Check[1d20] = 15 DEX: 16

sure my other rolls were better

New Map: As close to what you said likely not accurate.

Thug and Gong - Round Two

The thug gets the edge on Morik and thrusts the pole into the thief's face. The shot batters Morick's head on the right (2 HP damage.)

Morick whips out his rope to grapple the thug. He flings it out but the thug whacks it down with the pole.

Actions for Round Three!

Thug pole Morik [1d20] = 16, dam [1d4] = 2. Hit
Init. Thug [1d6] = 2, Morik [1d6] = 1. Thug won.

[GreyWolfVT]

Morik feeling utterly cursed this day of all the days he ever needed some luck he had none. In another attempt to get away from the man he will try and run to the gong and ring it with his sword blade. You tell me what you need here. I'm fearing the roller at the moment.

If you get initiative, you can run around him to the cage. If you lose, he gets to try to hit you, then you run to the cage. I'll post IC in a little while, assuming you keep to this action. Thanks.

Thug and Gong - Round Three

Morik dashes nimbly around the pole-weilding thug to the locked caged gong. He tries to slide his sword blade through...

...in the west wall is a 1' diameter metal gong, held inside a locked cage with bars an inch apart. The distance from bars to the gong is about 16"...

... but the bars are too close. Morik realizes then that something thinner will be needed, or the cage lock will need to be picked.

The thug almost whacks Morik with the pole, but the thief rolls under it and back up to his feet.

Actions for Round Four!

Initiative: The Runner [1d6] = 3 vs. Enemy [1d6] = 2 Morik wins
Thug pole on Morik [1d20] = 6, dam [1d4] = 4 Miss

[GreyWolfVT]

Morik looks the man in the eyes "Well I am sorry it had to come to this I truly am. But I guess I have few options left." and swings his sword trying to hit the man with the flat of his blade.

To Hit Broad Sword[1d20] = 13 S/M Dmg[2d4] = 7 L Dmg[1d6 +1] = 2+1 = 3

and potentially fails I'd imagine.

[Grognardsw]

Thug and Gong - Round Four

Morik and the thug strike at the same time. Morik's broadsword slices into his shoulder, and the pole swipes into the thief's arm (2 HP.)

Actions for Round Five!

Initiative: The Runner [1d6] = 4 vs. Enemy [1d6] = 4 Simultaneous
Thug pole on Morik [1d20] = 17, dam [1d4] = 2 Hit

[GreyWolfVT]

Morik swings again this time trying to disarm the man using his broad sword.

To Hit Broad Sword[1d20] = 5 S/M Dmg[2d4] = 5 L Dmg[1d6 +1] = 5+1 = 6

seriously..... just one roll higher than 13 yeesh...

[Grognardsw]

Thug and Gong - Round Five

Pole hits blade, blade hit pole. Morik and the thug exchange blows, each parrying the other.

Actions for Round Six!

- Initiative: The Runner [1d6] = 3 vs. Enemy [1d6] = 6 Thug wins
- Thug on Morik [1d20] = 9, dam [1d6] = 5 Miss

[GreyWolfVT]

Morik was going to try the same attack ....... but nevermind what Morik wants to do the roller has other ideas.

To Hit Broad Sword[1d20] = 4 S/M Dmg[2d4] = 2 L Dmg[1d6 +1] = 3+1 = 4

[Grognardsw]

Thug and Gong - Round Six

Morik and the thug again clash, sword on pole, parrying each other with equal skill.

Actions for Round Seven!

- Initiative: The Runner [1d6] = 1 vs. Enemy [1d6] = 1 Simultanious
- Thug on Morik [1d20] = 2, dam [1d4] = 2 Miss

[GreyWolfVT]

Morik swings again! sorry was moving all weekend and had to take care of a sick wife yesterday. No internet at home as of yet but I'll post from work like I was before.

To Hit Broad Sword[1d20] = 8 S/M Dmg[2d4] = 6 L Dmg[1d6 +1] = 3+1 = 4

good to see the roller hasn't changed since my absence.
