Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 14/12/12 CMD: 15 HP:43/43 (Spells) - Wand charges: 41 Sunday January 1st, 2012 8:06:47 AM
This wardrobe business is not Restlin's speciality. Paranoia is, however, so he takes this moment to look out any windows to the city beyond and make sure there's not a contingent of guards bearing down on them.
Kyan(Jon) AC:19/13/16 HP: 57/57 CMD: 23 || Azrael 17 HP, AC: 20/17/13 CMD: 19 Sunday January 1st, 2012 9:11:12 AM
With the path of De Rais found and the wardrobe being seen to, Kyan just waits for either the guards to arrive to arrest the lot of them or the wardrobe to be opened.
The Cutting Room -- DM Jim Sunday January 1st, 2012 11:28:33 AM
Throughly checking the armoire, there is one serrated knife that doesn't want to be remove from the pegged backwall. Twisting it however, releases a latch that causes the armoire to slightly spring toward Beri, unsealing it from the stone wall. Opening it carefully, the group can see that it opens into a working sewer tunnel. The river of wastewater runs right and left and there is a small ledge on either side to avoid the waste.
Medium characters can squeeze to avoid the sewer water, larger creatures cannot.
Please make a perception roll:
DC15 Highlight to display spoiler: {Some old blood seems to be trailed this way--perhaps this is how he got rid of any bodies by dumping them in the sewer}
DC25 Highlight to display spoiler: {The faintest noise can be heard coming from the right--more than likely De Rais and group; about 60' down.}

"Blast it." Restlin fumes. "Always a catacomb, or a jail cell, or a dirt tunnel. Is it asking too much for a bad-guy to have a tastefully decorated escape tunnel?"
Restlin falls in line while casting a quick prestidigitation spell to take care of any future cleaning.
OOC: Perception - 20
"Hey look, everyone. There's some old blood here. Maybe if this De Rais guy is as bad as he seems, Hook City won't throw us in jail again."
DM Jim: I'll keep the "tastefully decorated escape tunnel" in mind for this next module :)
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 d20+11=26 ; Sunday January 1st, 2012 2:30:16 PM "I don't know what you're complaining about, you can mostly keep to the small ledges to move in there. Some of us are gonna have to trudge through that crap." Zane says bluntly as he looks through the opening. He spots the blood that Restlin pointed out. "Shhh..... he says, then a few moments later, "They went that a way, I heard some small sounds of movement. Maybe one of those kids stepping in a small puddle of water." Zane indicates the direction as to the right, where he heard the noise.
Taking a clue from Restlin, he also casts Prestidigitation. Restlin may want to clean up, Zane is going to need to clean up before this is over.

The liontaur bard takes a look around: nat 20! HE confirms what Zane has said.
Zeoll says, speaking softly, "Hold on a second, everryone! They have abandoned the house. They arre clearrly up to no good. But we have no idea if these people arre the ones we seek -- the killerrs of the girrls and theirr family. Since they have abandoned the house to us, maybe we can seal the exit door and spend some time looking thrrough this entirre house, top to bottom, to figure out what the heck is going on herre. As opposed to blindly rrushing into an ambush, I'm thinking."
OOC: Have we even heard anyone refer to the leader as "Rais" or "DeRais"? Maybe these villains are someone else entirely.

"If the house has been abandoned it will be here when we get back. I'd rather not lose De Rais while we have his trail. Even if he doesn't have anything to do with the girls in the tower, he's obviously up to something and now knows that we're on to him." Kyan adds in, taking the rear position once again with Azrael. He makes no effort to squeeze onto the pathway and occasionally sloshes in to the sewer muck with his boots.
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 Monday January 2nd, 2012 1:14:44 PM "I agree, I think losing them", indicating the fleeing group, [/b]"would be a very bad idea. We now know something nefarious was going on here. Just look at the cells and the blood scattered all over. He knows we have discovered at least this much, if we let him run loose, we risk him going further into the shadows where we may not be able to find him again. Even in my weakened condition, I recommend we continue the chase, rather than give him time to vanish."[/b]
This is the most any of the group has heard the minotaur say at one time, and while he was talking, he reached up and drew his hood back, allowing those in the group to see the feelings behind his words....

Alexi belts out a laugh that echoes down the sewer tunnel.
"You gonna smell 'em in here?" he slaps Zeol on the shoulder. "Good luck!"
Alexi takes the lead and tries to stay 'dry' but before he heads further down he turns and says, "You do realize the only one we really are after is that guy that ran from the records office, right? He's the one that knows about the house, right? All this DeRais stuff is just for fun right?"
He turns and starts down the direction Zane pointed.

Beriothian looks at the bloody sewers. An uncomfortable feeling washes over him as nightmares of animated skeletons creep into his memory. He pushes these thoughts out of his head as he listens to the group talk.
They almost certainly took the guy we are looking for with them. They wouldn't want to leave any witnesses, and from the looks of it this is where they take... well, I don't really know who they take down here, but they are in pretty poor shape at that point. Let's try to hurry, but keep an eye out for traps.

The Sewers -- DM Jim Tuesday January 3rd, 2012 11:56:34 AM
After some contemplation, the group trudges into the depths of the sewer in pursuit of De Rais--if in fact he is De Rais. The smell is horrible; bits of this and that in the wastewater cling to the fur of the Taurs--it'll take magic, lots of it, to get the smell out.
Soon the group comes to an intersection that opens into a large 50'x50' room; a huge deluge of wastewater pours out from a tunnel high above into the center of this room. There are three other tunnels that lead out of this room. All the water from the tunnels are heading into this room, so the water must be escaping somewhere in the middle of the room, as the level of the water is fairly constant. The ledge around this room has widened to accomodate a medium sized person, so the Taurs could squeeze onto the ledge if they wanted too. Also, the pull of the water is strong here at the opening of the current tunnel.
Please make Perception rolls
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 d20+11=21 ; Tuesday January 3rd, 2012 4:19:47 PM
Zane, upon reaching the conflagration room, for a better lack of a term, stops near the edge and listens for any sound other than that of the falling water, anything out of place will draw his attention. They couldn't have gained too much on the group, but with the kids, and only the one or two larger people, they would move quicker than the group doing the pursuing group with the larger taurs in it. With the cantrip he cast earlier, he'll try and add a fresh mowed alfalfa scent to the air around him, trying to mask a bit of the smell. (cast Prestidigitation earlier will recast as it fades, unless in combat)

Kyan lets out a grunt of disgust, though whether it's at the sewer smell or the attempts of his companions to cover it up is hard to say. However, once in the large room the ranger puts in sword away and takes out his bow before scanning the room to look for some sign of De Rais or any other danger with an arrow set ready to fly.

Bosk pulls himself up onto the ledge the best he can and wipes himself off with his enchanted scarf (permanent clean cantrip) . I think we should split up and each check one of the tunnels to see if there are wet foot prints or hand prints indicating they used on of the other tunnels. If not, we might all be going for a swim. As he prepares to move forward he glances up and checks for enemies or possibly another tunnel.

Perc +5 = 15 OOC: DM, am I correct in that, to circle around this room and stay dry you'd have to jump across the water flow when crossing the tunnels? That is, how wide are these sewer rivers. Need to know the width in case I want to jump from one side of a tunnel to the other without getting my boots wet.
"Good idea, Bosk, let's all split up. Not! Well, not entirely, that is. But it is a good idea to look for wet prints."
Alexi looks for the tell-tale whirlpool that should exist if sewer water is, in fact, going down, even if slowly. Such as 'debri' circling around the midle of the room, etc. Perc +5 = 23

Comes the scream from above the opening of the tunnel as the seven children, all having climbed up the rough walls and lying in wait, descend rapidly on their prey--weapons poised to strike the hearts of the Iron Adventurers.
Kyan, with your perception roll and readied action, you get one free shot on one of the kids before they attack you.
Beltrin feels the sting of a dagger's blade in his shoulder and the burning of poison trying to weaken him. Take 4hp damage and must make a DC14 Fort save vs poison or take 2pts of Strength loss. Attacked by #2
Kyan also feels the pain of a venom-laced dagger cutting across his ribs. take 4hp damage and must make the same save as Beltrin or lose 2 pts of Strength. Attacked by #3
Beri is also struck by a dual daggerwielding child, who's eyes glare with intense anger. Take 6hp damage and make above save or lose 1pt of Strength. Attacked by #4
Restlin finds a quarterstaff trying to knock a few of his teeth out, then a flash of light that quickly accompanies it. Take 4hp damage and make a Will save DC15 or be under the effects of a SLOW spell.Attacked by #7
-------- 1 Round by Thursday night.
Sorry for the delay, been busy trying to catch up at work and get the new module typed out since my return from vacation.
Since everyone is so close to each other, you can attack whatever child you want. #1-5 are the boys, #6 and #7 are the girls.

OOC: This is so messed up.
***
Restlin winces as the girl connects with her staff. He feels the magic working on his muscles, but remembers his training and wills it away (Will save 16. Save the will saves for the warriors next time, little girl).
"You kids are all up WAY PAST YOUR BED TIME," the wizard roars before casting a sleep spell on the immediate area, being careful to avoid any more swings from the kids (defensive casting - 34...I need a 2, but hey, I'll take a natural 20).
***
Sleep:
A sleep spell causes a magical slumber to come upon 4 HD of creatures. Creatures with the fewest HD are affected first. Among creatures with equal HD, those who are closest to the spell's point of origin are affected first. HD that are not sufficient to affect a creature are wasted. Sleeping creatures are helpless. Slapping or wounding awakens an affected creature, but normal noise does not. Awakening a creature is a standard action (an application of the aid another action). Sleep does not target unconscious creatures, constructs, or undead creatures.
Will save is DC15

The ranger reacts by instinct at the first yell and his bow his raised and aimed at a decending figure in an instant and he lets an arrow fly.
He lets out a curse as realizes it's the children and lets his bow drop to the sewer floor with a clatter. His arm raises to draw his sword, but he stops himself and lashes out with fists instead, aiming to render his attacker unconscious as he feels the poison start to sap his strength.
Azrael lets out a snarl and launches himself against child 1.

ooc: Can I get some more information on the depth of the water, if we can tell, to decide if it is worth staying on the ledge and taking the -4 penalty to AC and atk rolls for squeezing, or do you consider it only a loss of a dex bonus as listed under acrobatics for crossing a ledge?
Bosk waits until the sleep spell takes hold and then throws the the closest boy still awake into the sewer, if all the boys are asleep he will throw one of the girls in. Glaring at Beri he says, How can you ask me to kill them and then choose your sap over your sword? Still, these guys could use a bath.
CMB check to throw child into the sewer = 25 (21 if Bosk has a -4 penalty for squeezing, but my understanding is that it only applies to cramped spaces and not ledges.) Acrobatics check to stay on ledge if Bosk gets hit = 16

Zane hears the kids attack,"Foolish children, you avoided me. Your mistake." He turns towards one of the brats and not really caring that they are kids, he knows evil comes in all forms, he unleashes a flurry onto one of them. He channels some energy into his limbs, (activate Arcane strike) and then he strikes out with a hand chop, and follows it up with a snap kick to the brats head.

Firing as they fall, Kyan's arrow does little more than fly upward into darkness, piercing some unseen area above. His blades are also ineffective as he counterattacks the little foe in front of him as Restlin puts to sleep the quarterstaff wielding little girl squaring off against him.
It isn't until Alexi strikes that any of the children are actually struck in combat--and a critical strike it is! Even though he is weakened by poison, the warrior stabs the boy in front of him right through his chest. The small boy lets out a groan and manages to say before he dies, "For my master."

In a spray of blood, guts, sinew and bones, the entire area is covered in gore as Alexi's foe explodes in a miasma of flesh and green corrosive carnage.

Either way Bosk made all his saves and is clinging to life with -10 HP, but I will have used a few Hero Points if not. Also, since Bosk is squeezed on a ledge Acrobatics requires a save after each hit or he falls off the ledge. Since the blasts are in succession and not at once, would falling into the water keep Bosk from taking some additional damage.

Most of Beltrin's flesh and bone has gone to join that of the "children" in the soupy mess that is the sewer.
------------------------------------ Save 1: 7 dmg 17 Save 2: 8 dmg 24 Save 3: 9 dmg 15 Save 4: 12 dmg 8 Save 5: 23 dmg 10 Save 6: 5 dmg 14 Save 7: 7 dmg 21
Total damage: 109 (maybe Zane used Beltrin as a shield to soak up all the damage?) Beltrin: Dead
If possible Beltrin will spend his hero points to cheat death. (4 hero points currently and spend all but 1)

As the darkness closes in around him the Horned Cleric prays to Gargul for the group's souls, but out of the corner of his consciousness he sees his shadow and a shiver runs down his spine. He hadn't seen his shadow since it was nailed in the throne room of Gargul, truly this was an ominous sign. But how can he carry out gods will and achieve the destiny he foretold if he were to die? Silently he hopes the shadow was a figment of his imagination, but already he thinks he can hear his master calling...
Why do you linger....
Bosk AC: 20/11/18 CMD:21 HP -10 of 55 SpellsDying Thursday January 5th, 2012 5:33:34 PM
ooc: I forgot about "cheat death", perhaps I am overly emotional about losing my beloved character. Would I have to make that call to use it now or can I wait until I am on my last stabilization roll to see if the others can heal me?
Zeoll (HP32 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Thursday January 5th, 2012 6:06:09 PM
Zeoll has 32 hit points and a Con of 12. Total damage possible is 127, or 63 if you make every save.
No need to roll. Zeoll dies either way. But he has three hero points, and will totally use two of them to cheat death!
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 Thursday January 5th, 2012 7:46:51 PM
Gotta wait for Alexi and Beri to post before I will post an action, It matters.

Beri's head turns as the first child makes a loud noise What the... The rogue starts jumping and dodging. Bloody water flies through the air as he bobs and weaves away from the shrapnel. When all the children are gone Beri looks over his bloody body in terror. It takes him a moment to realize the the blood and half a spleen sliding down his torso don't actually belong to him. Thanks to his quick reflexes the rogue finds he is completely unscathed.
The rogue quickly thrusts his wand of CLW into Bosk's hand and tells him to make good use of it. (Bosk doesn't run the risk I have of use magic device failing)
Reflex Saves (no damage if made do do uncanny dodge: d20+11=29 ; d20+11=28 ; d20+11=23 ; d20+11=31 ; (nat 20) d20+11=14 ; d20+11=13 ; d20+11=23 ;
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:57/57 CMD = 22 Thursday January 5th, 2012 8:24:27 PM
ooc: I meant evasion above, not uncanny dodge. I also have two stabalizing berries, Beriothian will use one on Bosk ASAP! And if there is another person alive but dying they get the other... I don't think there is though.
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 Thursday January 5th, 2012 8:48:58 PM "What the hell was that? Did they all just explode? You've got Bosk taken care of, the rest look beyond help. What's the plan?"
(waiting on Alexi's post to see what help he needs.)
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 14/12/12 CMD: 15 HP:43/43 (Spells) - Wand charges: 41 Thursday January 5th, 2012 9:23:10 PM
Restlin's last thoughts are of Zane's rash actions. "If he lives through this, those two little girls won't be the only ones haunting the Iron Adventurers..."
***
No need to roll anything. Restlin will die by a huge margin either way.
Total dmg = 62 (although Zeol said 63 if all saves)
Alexi is either a 0 or 1 depending on the rounding. Let me know.
IC: Alexi stands there, numb, and too bewildered to to think much. Not that he'd been able to hear any thought over the echoing BOOMS that keep bouncing around and round and round and round and round....
Bosk AC: 20/11/18 CMD:21 HP -10 of 55 SpellsDying Thursday January 5th, 2012 11:56:46 PM
ooc: Restlin has 3 Hero Points listed on his character sheet, so he can use cheat death and lose two of them. This would most likely leave him stable with negative hit points.
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 d20+1=3 ; Friday January 6th, 2012 12:05:05 AM
Seeing Alexi still standing, Zane looks for any of the others, and will pull each up out of the sewage, and determine if they are saveable. Not much chance at that... heal check : 3
"I think the rest are dead, at least they look that way to me."
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 14/12/12 CMD: 15 HP:-9/43 (Spells) - Wand charges: 41 Friday January 6th, 2012 6:12:37 AM
ooc: OOoooh...Thank you James. I should really read this stuff more carefully.
Burning 2 hero points & setting myself at -9. ***
All hope indeed looks lost. Several Iron Adventurers lie splattered around the sewer.
A sudden raspy breath indicates Restlin still lives, however...though how long he'll stay that way isn't certain.
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 Friday January 6th, 2012 8:48:40 AM "Got more of those berries? I think Restlin can be saved, but I'm terrible at healing. I'll be as likely kill him as to save him."
Bosk AC: 20/11/18 CMD:21 HP -10 of 55 SpellsDying Friday January 6th, 2012 10:45:38 AM
ooc: Kyan also has enough Hero Points to Cheat Death if he wants.
Kyan(Jon) AC:19/13/16 HP: -15/57 CMD: 23 || Azrael -4 HP, AC: 20/17/13 CMD: 19 Friday January 6th, 2012 11:25:08 AM
OoC: Kyan was being swapped out anyways. This is as good an exit as any.
What the heck? -- DM Jim Friday January 6th, 2012 12:50:43 PM
The sound of multiple explosions would normally make a person head in the opposite direction, but not this centaur. Yondrim waded through the filth, his head still hurting from a possible kidnapping attempt gone awry, which also left him down here in the sewers trying to find his way out. When he exited the tunnel he was in, he found the source of the explosions--and it was ghastly. Flesh and bone was splattered upon the walls of the sewer like crazy--somewhat akin to a psychopathic giant who loved fingerpainting with gore. Yondrim wasn't sure if they were good or evil, but he did spy a large minotaur cleric of Gargul and they were not usually evil--and healing was happening and that's something evil people usually didn't do for the nearly dead.
As bits and chunks of flesh float away, so too does Kyan's body. It has succumbed to the vortex in the middle of the room that is sucking away all the debris in the water, and the water itself (Kyan can play in another campaign using the cheat death rule--the tunnels will carry him away). Any attempt to save him at this point would be lethal.
Barely hanging onto life, the rest of the Iron Adventurers slowly begin to stabilize everyone that fell to the carnage. Zeoll, on the edge of consciousness, brushes aside one of the children's ear that is stuck to the side of his face. It's pointy tip tells him something, but he's far to much in pain to make the connection and flicks it aside.

Good job guys, no one died except those that wanted too :)
Those that used Cheat Death, please adjust your CS for that and the below.
Everyone gets half their level in Hero Points (rounded down) and 1403xp's.
We should be starting the new module early next week if everything gets approved.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:57/57 CMD = 22 Friday January 6th, 2012 8:03:58 PM
Beri finish up stabilizing those in need when he feels something is a little off. one... two... three.... who are we miss... KYAN! The rogue watches in misery as the body of his friend is swept away into what is possibly the worlds worst resting place for a corpse. I brave man like Kyan deserved so much better than that.
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 8/66 CMD 22 d8+1=7 ; Friday January 6th, 2012 9:03:27 PM
Alexi's sense return quickly as he hears others talking. Watching the bits of friend and foe swirl down the sewer pipe he numble says, "Burial at sewer, what a way to go."
He spits some goo that got wedged in his mouth towards the vortex. "What kind of vile thing would brainwash children to sacrifice themselves so, and what kind of magic causes such self-destruction? I've seen undead explode upon death, and an Ice Demon blast sharp chards of ice, but living, breathing, humanoids? I'll need to research this."
Hearing some sloshing coming their way, he quickly fetches a potion of CLW from his mucked up backpack. Trying not to gulp anything more than the healing potion, he downs it.
CLW 1d8+1 = 7
Zeoll (HP32 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Friday January 6th, 2012 9:14:26 PM
Zeoll groans as he is brought back to consciousness. (Has someone brought Zeoll back to consciousness?)
Zeoll speculates that the "children" were some kind of diseased halflings in disguise. Maybe undead with make-up on.
