Reynaldo Li |
Rey looks over the door Maffei indicated. Hmm. Not really secret, just concealed behind this tapestry (or whatever). Hammer, take a look at this, please, and make sure it's okay before we check it out...?
GM Tektite |
The iron door to this chamber is covered in complex sigils and runes painted in delicate black lacquer—a message repeated over and over in several languages, including Common: “Beware! Dark Oblivion Lies Within!”
A drone, like the sound of a vast wind, fills this room, yet the air is cold and still. A fifteen-foot square of arcane symbols is inscribed on the floor. Two five-foot-square areas of similar writing sit to the northeast and southeast of the larger one. Above the larger square hovers what appears to be a vertical hole in reality—a window that looks out into a night sky in which only a few tiny stars are visible. The window itself is fifteen feet square, running from the north and south points of the symbol below. It’s suspended a foot off the ground, and comes within three feet of the ceiling above.
Ares Aeroflot |
GM are we on the main monastery map or combat map?
Ares will take heed of the written warning.
"Dark Oblivion? I was hoping for 'Unimaginable Riches'. Maybe those are in a different door, eh Hammer?"
He grips his bow as he looks up at the window and symbol(s).
GM Tektite |
No map yet
You guys have already passed the door and are now in the room with the mirror.
Hammer studies the door, but finds nothing unusual.
Lia the Huntress |
Two smaller squares: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Symbols: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 Shoulda taken 10
Lia glances, but soon begins to sway. "All it does is makes me dizzy..."
GM Tektite |
Though you cannot discern the use of the tiles, you remember the druid's words.
According to Azmur’s research, the monks managed to construct an aperture, called the Dark Window, in a locked and hidden room accessible via the lectern library on the third floor. The Dark Window allowed them to observe and even communicate with alien entities on the far side of the universe. The monks had hoped to use the Dark Window to study and learn about these alien creatures and societies, working on the theory that if they knew the chaos and madness of the Dark Tapestry, they could then identify similar traits in themselves and work to expunge them on the road to self-perfection. Yet the first time they used the Window, the malevolent alien they contacted teleported into the monastery and attacked the priests. Abbot Kanjougas banished the alien back to the Dark Tapestry, but not before it slaughtered the monastery’s other inhabitants. Azmur hasn’t been able to determine what became of the abbot afterward, but he knows the event took place over 200 years ago. It must be closed....
As Hammer looks around the room, he notices a shape in the mirror. It begins looming larger, as if getting closer.....
Mr. Hammerfist |
Hammer gazes into the portal and grumbles.
"I dun thin' we're gon'ike 'hats comin' out. Any 'deas fer closin' it before we're al'lled?"
Reynaldo Li |
I like Lia's thinking, Rey says, drawing Wyrmsmite as he steps alongside the mirror, taking care not to look directly at it. Just say the word, Hammer, and I'll do the honors.
GM Tektite |
Both Hammer and Reynaldo hit the mirror, but the thing is so hard, they don't even mar the surface!
Both men see the shape looming larger in the mirror, then suddenly, it is in the middle of the room!
H: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
L: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
R: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
M: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Y: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
The creature, a six-eyed horror looks something like a dead tree with claws, tentacles, spidery legs, and a mouth bulging with tentacles, peers around the room.

Hammer calls out to his companions "Dun'urt it ya'ools!"
Hammerfist will step away from Reynaldo begin casting enlarge person.
Reynaldo Li |
Reynaldo's eyes get wide as the...the thing...enters the room from the mirror!
What in the Hells is...oh, never mind. Those questions don't even have an impact anymore, do they?
Rey five-foots up to it and full attacks!

Ares Aeroflot |
Ares will step over, closer to Lia and Fire a couple cold iron arrows at the thing.
"what in the world is this thing?. "
attack pb rapid : 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 10 for Dmg : 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12

Fooey, it's gonna be another one of these dicebot combats I see .
Lia the Huntress |
Lia lets out an "Eep!" before swiftly composing herself and touching her eyes. When she removes her hands, her eyes smoulder and glow like raw embers. "If it looks like a dead tree, maybe it will burn like one, too!"
Cast Burning Gaze. Fingers crossed this works some...
GM Tektite |
Hammerfist appears to defends the strange creature!
Reynaldo slashes the creature twice, doing a good bit of damage!
Ares fires two arrows, but misses with both!
1d20 ⇒ 13
Lia stares at the creature with fire in her eyes, but it seems unaffected!
Suddenly, everyone feels a crushing pain in their heads as if squeezed in a vice!
Nonlethal Damage for everyone: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 2, 5, 3, 3, 3, 1, 4) = 31 And confusion per spell. DC 21 Will for half, and to negate confusion. Hammer gets another save vs the previous effect.
Party up!
Lia the Huntress |
Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 77
In her confusion, Lia directs her gaze at Ares!
Fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 DC 14 Fortitude save negates. If failed, DC 14 Reflex save or catch fire.
Reynaldo Li |
On the other hand, acting "normal" (or at least normal for Reynaldo) is a Good Thing [tm].
attack w/Piranha Strike & flank: 1d20 + 13 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 13 - 2 + 2 = 20

ConfusionSave: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 Even with a potential +5 vs spells it's a fail.

Hammerfist shakes his head and grumbles as he enlarges.
Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 94
"I ca't'ell who's what an'ore, so 'ere we'o!"
Hammer draws his flametongue and stabs at the nearest creature. Fortunatly Hammer is adjacent to the horrible bad evil thing.
PowerAttack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 2 = 20

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 65
fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Ares stands bewildered at the creature, watching as Hammer defends it and the thing blasts their minds.
He resists a hit from Lia's firey eyes but is so dumbfounded he hits himself in the head with his own bow.
dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
And I think that wraps up his actions -31NL, -6L
Lia the Huntress |
Ares, depending on actual technical initiative, you do not get a confusion roll and instead automatically attack Lia since she attacked you last round.

The creature lashes out, missing Maffeu and Reynaldo, but hitting Hammer with two tentacles and grabbing the enlarged dwarf!
Party up!
Mr. Hammerfist |
Hammerfist babbles even more incoherently than normal as he grows fangs and tries to bite the strange critter.
Power Bite: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 2 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 6 = 13
Lia the Huntress |
If we're still confused, auto attack. Basically, we're locked in combat until someone else attacks one of us, the effect ends, or one of us falls. (BTW, you didn't roll an attack on me last round. Have at it! And roll a Reflex save from last round to see if my eyes caught you ablaze. ;-)
If Ares fails the Reflex save from last round: 1d6 ⇒ 3 fire burny damage
The rest depends on where Ares gets.
Arrow!: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 = 26
1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 = 10
Blade!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Ares Aeroflot |
Sorry, Lia I thought Fort save(26 vs DC14) negated the need for reflex
Round 1
reflex : 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 vs burning
Ares tries to shoot at Lia
(assuming full attack and cannot shoot and move)
attack pb rapid : 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 16 for Dmg : 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8
attack pb rapid : 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 18 for Dmg : 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
"No, you stop attacking me first! :-)
Round 2
Ares tries to shoot back at Lia again...
attack pb rapid : 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 22 for Dmg : 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
attack pb rapid : 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 10 for Dmg : 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6
GM Tektite |
Yes, confusion is up for 10 rounds.
Hammer swings, hitting the creature grappling him! The creature shudders, then collapses to the ground!
Out of Combat!
I'll assume Maffei and whomever else is able, tries to restrain Ares and Lia from killing each other.
And other than dealing with the Window, level up to 7!
