Chapter 7: Cave of the Macabre Heads

[GreyWolfVT]

mort did try to see in the direction of the noise.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Mr. Choe comes forward again, this time he lights a torch & this is what is seen.

Note: you see the first 15 ft from Mr. Choe, Clearly, the remaining 15 ft is in shadowy outlines.

Players Map Cave B 6/25/2014: 7:14pm:

As soon as Mr. Choe Lit the Torch; Spears come flying out of the darkness from the West & East Corridors:

Mort is hit for: [1d20] = 16 for [1d6] = 5 of damage

Give Mort 5 HP not 3!

Ewat has a spear fly past him: [1d20] = 9

Mr. Choe is in the clear at first but when Mort goes down is now vulnerable!

You heard grunts from the spears being thrown but then it gets quiet again as the cave occupants await.

Wexley stops mid-stride from going toward the back as he heard Mort Scream when he got hit.

PLAYER ACTIONS!

[Baramoor]

Hearing the grunt of pain and the clatter of spears thrown and missing their mark, but striking the rock, Wexley pauses a moment and whips the caltrop laden gourd against the ceiling of the left hand passageway, hopefully to slow any attack against Ewat.

Once this is done, he skirts back along the left side of the cave and stops to prepare his color spray spell by fishing out the bit of colored sand on wax

[GreyWolfVT]

Kormak tries to dash to Mort's aid to try and pull him back out of harms way.

Borum mutters some curses in dwarven. "Moorcock pratchett saberhagen"

for those that speak dwarven "The glorious, almighty and much revered gods, in their vast wisdom, have seen fit to, once again, place me between the anvil and the hammer in an attempt to gently temper my dwarven soul through pain and frustration!"

[Dizlexus]

Mr. Choe

Choe is not surprised. He chucks his torch down the hall about 30 feet. He hopes to illuminate a target and draws his bow.

Choe swishilly says: Party time Mr. man!!

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

I will have it that Mr. Choe tossed the Torch down the West Corridor, since Kormak is trying to drag Mort to safety.

[GreyWolfVT]

Borum issues the wiser order "Retreat!" and goes to try and help with Mort.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

When Mr. Choe tosses his torch down the west corridor, he illuminates what appear to be 3 Orcs in Leather Armor with Shields & brandishing Spears.

One Orc from the West corridor, throws a spear at Mr. Choe, soon after the torch lands.

The spear misses Mr. Choe: [1d20] = 7

A Spear is tossed at Kormak from the East Corridor and it misses him: [1d20] = 8

After that there is no more action from the Orcs for the time being, as Kormak gets Mort into the entry corridor.

PLAYER ACTIONS!

[GreyWolfVT]

Borum casting Cure Light Wounds[1d8] = 1 on Mort really die roller?

Kormak waits till Borum is done trying to heal Mort and will then help to retreat carrying Mort if need be.

[Nordbo]

Lutha is very much in spell ready mode

[Nordbo]

Wolfram tilts his head and perks up his quivering youthful nostrils to try to detect the direction of the cave's air flow/draught, if any. NWP/skill/general aptitude roll: [1d20] = 10

[Pulpatoon]

Ewat fires into the darkness, back along the path of the spears.

The he dashes back out of the corridor.

On the player map, Idonea has moved to the very back of the party in order to keep an eye on everyone.

[MonkeyWrench]

Maya drops down to one knee, drawing her composite bow and firing at one of the orcs, Composite Bow: [1d20] = 1 Damage: S/M[1d6+3] = 2+3 = 5, L[1d6+3] = 2+3 = 5

Due to the lighting conditions and the panic of everyone that shot goes horribly awry, [1d100] = 73

Victor will stay with the group, he has his short sword drawn, the words engraved on it glowing slightly.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

A Spear whizzes past Ewat just barely missing him! To Hit: [1d20] = 14

Ewat Shoots an Arrow but misses! To Hit: Bow: [1d20+2] = 10+2 = 12 Damage: [1d6x2] = 6x2 = 12

Ewat then runs back down the Entry Corridor.

You all hear the shouts of Orc Battle Crys.

Then the shouts of pain as some of the Orcs stepped on the Caltrops.
Caltrop Hits:
Orc #1: [1d20] = 20 [1d100] = 8 (Double Damage) [1d20] = 5 Total Damage = 2
Orc #2: [1d20] = 11 [1d20] = 2
Orc #3: [1d20] = 7 [1d20] = 8
Orc #4: [1d20] = 6 [1d20] = 19 Total Damage = 1
Orc #5: [1d20] = 18 [1d20] = 17 Total Damage = 2

2 Orcs from the East Corridor however coming running up to the Entry Corridor without a problem & each of them throw a spear into the entry corridor.

Spear misses Maya: To Hit Roll:[1d20] = 6

Spear Misses Borum: Critical Miss: [1d20] = 1 [1d100] = 68 The Spear is knocked 9 feet away by Kormak!

Maya, drops to one knee drawing her composite bow & firing at one of the Orcs from the East Corridor & Misses Critically: Composite Bow: [1d20] = 1

Due to the lighting conditions and the panic of everyone that shot goes horribly awry, [1d100] = 73 Maya's Composite Bow String snaps!

Victor will stay with the group, he has his short sword drawn, the words engraved on it glowing slightly.

Wolfram can only detect air draft coming into the cave from the entrance.

Fr. Tenebaum, pulls a scroll out of his scroll case as he moves to the back of the group.


This is for Round 1: Segment 1 of Combat.

If a character has not stated an Action yet, Please do so, then i will let you know when we move onto Round 1: Segment 2.

[Pulpatoon]

Dangit, I forgot to link to my roll to hit, earlier! If it's too late, please ignore, but otherwise, here it is:
Bow: [1d20+2] = 10+2 = 12 Damage: [1d6x2] = 6x2 = 12

=========================

Dungeon Master Response:

It's still a miss anyways, you need to hit AC7 a 13 on the 'To Hit' roll for a Fighter.

[GreyWolfVT]

Kormak smiles and will try and return to sender the spear. Failing Spear [1d20] = 5

[PyroArrow]

Kormak smiles and will try and return to sender the spear. Failing Spear [1d20] = 5

I'll put that Action for the 2nd Segment of Round 1!

[Baramoor]

If there are no player characters in the way

Wexley stays close to the left hand wall, inching his way back to the cave mouth and the main party, his color spray spell is ready and he waits only for a clear shot at the Orcs to cast it loose. Once done, he will hastily retreat further back into the safety of the group, drawing his bow and aiding in fire support

And remember the following algorhythm

[Pulpatoon]

Poking out from around the corner, Ewat fires at one of the Orcs down the eastern corridor.

Bow: [1d20+2] = 15+2 = 17 Damage: [1d6x2] = 4x2 = 8

[Dizlexus]

Mr. Choe

The gay cross dresser takes the point and confronts the Orcs. He is as much a lover of combat as he is a fag.
He smiles a broad smile, swings his head to twirl his long hair over the appropriate shoulder, and fires into the Orcs.

He says, I'm Mr. Choe, tis' a pleasure to meet your bitch asses:
[1d20] = 12
[1d20] = 9

Mr. Choe will THEN move toward the rear -- he hopes to bring the hand to hand combat to the fighting types in his party.

He hopes he has pissed the Orcs off sufficiently. He has a question for Father T..
