"Thanks." He squints at his comrades. "Who else needs healing?"

Roshan silently points back at Chancre, then, after a moment, follows up with Miril and Anevia as well.

Chancre sighs when Roshan points at him. "Yes, I know, fine."

Chancre casts CLW on himself. 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Chancre at 11 HP

"Other than the poison I'm waiting on, I'm fine. I agree with Roshan... you as the healer are the most valuable amongst us. If I die, I die. If you die, we all die."

Konstantin pauses, regarding the lizard. "Would any of you happen to be a butcher?"

Roshan stays on the sidelines, continuing to hone his blades. If no one comes forth, he cleans off the heavy throwing blade he had been sharpening, gets up and takes 20 on a survival check(23). He takes care to avoid any poisonous glands.

Once he is done. He quickly draws a crude skull and crossbones next to the poisonous bits.

"And yourself," Drea says to Roshan.

Once Drea is sure that all of her allies are being attended to and in good condition, she says, "A question that may merit a quick answer - what is to be our policy towards wounded enemies for the time being?"

"I'd prefer to spare their lives if we can."

Roshan, bent on retrieving his weapons as well, shoots Míril a puzzled glance. He rummages around the two rooms a little more before approaching her and holds out his hand.

Míril shoots Roshan a rueful smile. "OK, I take your point. But I still think I'm more effective up close and shouldn't be so quick to pick up the bow as opposed to my sword. Drea probably would have been less hurt if I had been up there with her."

Konstantin accepts it. "My thanks."

He uncorks the vial, raises it to Drea in a toast. "Для вашего здоровья." Then downs it in a gulp.

Thick white-yellow liquid starts to bubble out from the needle marks left behind by the lizard.

Konstantin:
The antitoxin starts to burn as it makes its way into your bloodstream, especially painful in the arm where the lizard bit you. However the lethargy that had begun to settle into your bones and joints.

Antitoxin improved Kon's Fort roll from a 11 to a 16 - no dexterity damage.


Samirah:
YOU wrote:

Samirah moves her gaze over to the silent companion of the woman who won't let her out. "Sure, yeah, the Maze Master." She waits to see if the man looks at her or not, and if he does, she's going to give her best come-hither look. To the woman: "If you're going somewhere, can you leave your friend behind? More than the disappointing lack of light, what really gets me down is that there's no one to talk to while you're away!"

When no one is speaking to her, however, Samirah is now listening more closely to the battle outside.

The man doesn't look at her. In fact in the day or so that Samirah has been here, the tiefling has been remarkably uninterested in her. The only time you've seen any emotion in the man is when he dragged out the other prisoner - and that just seemed to be a grim satisfaction.

The woman moves over to squat in front of Samirah, a smug smile mixing with the sigh, "You'd make such a good convert, with as well as you lie. But for now you are doing so only for your own petty benefit, not for the betterment of the world. There is so much you could do if you followed the right path."

Her head cocks as the sounds of combat die abruptly. She looks at her partner, "Either that spider-thing will have a report or we will have some people for this one," totally patting Samirah on the head, "to chat with."

She moves into the larger room, where at least two of the tables are still stained maroon with the blood from sacrifices, leaving the door open.

Roshan gets up from butchering the lizard, walks over to the dying archer and attempts to stop her life's blood from leaving her body. If Roshan was played by someone from a former gaming group of mine, this would be where I write a secret note to the GM "and cut off her air supply at the same time" It is obvious however, that he is untrained.

He mutters a few words, and the blood and yellowish discharge freezes and sloughs off his skin.

Roshan looks up at Kon, points a bloody finger at the fallen archer and puts his forearms together before pointing in the direction the group had come. He then rises to a stance like sitting in a chair, puts his hands together again and pulls them apart quickly, then raises them palms upward before his head goes slightly askew as his right hand raises above his neck and jerks upwards, his tongue lolling out. Again, his palms go upward, before refocusing his attention on the dying woman.

He holds his hands up, freshly cleansed by magic, with not a trace of the archer's blood on them.

GM:

After being patted on the head, and realizing how much time she'd wasted by being nice, Samirah's simpering smile disappears and is quickly replaced by an ugly fury that furrows her brow, and causes her to thrash around on the floor. Like a child. She begins to yell as the woman leaves the room.

"How DARE you! You're lucky I can't slip these ropes, you harpy! I'd..." she takes a deep breath, apparently searching for an appropriate threat, "I'd cut you into pieces, feed you to your tiefling pet, then cut HIM into pieces, and sacrifice the pieces to your Master of Mazes!"

I'm gonna say her tantrum is too wild for an (intentional) intimidation check. :)

Roshan is able to get off most of the scales and a good section of meat without butchering the job too badly.

K:nature or dungeoneering DC 16:
This particular lizard has a slow-acting dexterity poison.

Harvesting the poison would take a DC 14 Survival check. It would then take a DC 14 Craft:Alchemy check to stabilize the poison to use on weapons.
Roshan Suraj von Itzal wrote:
Tt is obvious however, that he is untrained.

Despite Roshan's lack of training, the bleeding stops.

Once the group has a chance to recover from the difficult entrance into the mutant lair, they are able to poke around their surroundings, starting with the slightly ajar north-east door.

Pantry

A rack of hooks hangs from the ceiling, cured slabs of meat dangling from them and filling the room with a smoky aroma. A group of barrels appears to hold other preserved foodstuffs.

In a corner of the cold room, there is a ratty fur, dirty and piled up as if it had been used for an animal's bed.

Heal DC 15 or K:dungeoneering DC 15:
The meat appears to be mostly rat.

With a few mutant body parts mixed in.

The door south of the pantry is not locked and opens into a...

Common Room

In the southwestern part of this room, stout stone chairs surround a block of larger stone that serves as a table. The table’s top strewn with bone dice and cracked clay jugs. Stained canvas pillows rest on the chairs. A copper bowl filled with coals hangs from the ceiling, filling the room with warmth and an orange glow.

There is a another door in the northeastern part of the room and a hole in the floor of the southeastern side of the room.

Perception DC 20:
You think you hear something from hole in the floor - as if people are talking *far* away.

Konstantin will wrap up the lizard meat as best he can and will happily carry it, visions of charred lizard steaks dancing in his head.

Looking down the hole also reveals a rickety rope ladder descending into darkness, or more properly a heavily shadowed room with light to the north.

Perception DC 15:
Additionally, as you check out the rickety ladder, a loud voice breaks out over the more quiet voices.

Samirah/Sigrit:
... And there is totally another prisoner tied up near you. Her injuries were worse though because she hasn't regained consciousness.

Konstantin waits at the ladder (long enough for any tougher/stealthier members of the group to go, should they want to) before descending himself.

Roshan will also descend down the ladder.


Pool Room

The first few people in the group climb down the rope, which feels like it should be breaking under your weight - but doesn't. The air in this cavern smells of damp and mold. Water glistens on the walls, and collects in a stagnant pool along one wall. The cave itself is one of the taller, running between 20 and 30 feet high.

To the east, there are overlapping blockades running from floor to ceiling, allowing a small passage that people could move single file.

A) Perception DC 15:
Although the angry yelling tapered off, you hear movement from the far side of the barricade.
B) Perception DC 20:
And tucked in a southern corner where the barricade doesn't quite make it to the rough ceiling you see a dark skinned mutant on a ledge, armed with a crossbow - watching you.

Roshan apparently wanders into a particular area of the room for no particular reason.

may notice a drawn throwing knife hidden against his body, but reflecting any available light back in your direction.

GM:
Roshan places himself in the best field of vision and line of fire, but does not look directly at the crossbow holding mutant. Roshan does keep him in his peripheral vision. If he looks like he is about to fire, Roshan will attempt to draw his fire then throw some steel in exchange.

Konstantin follows, peering into the dark beyond the last barricade.


Samirah and Sigrit:
Quote:
Samirah stops her tantrum long enough to see the unconscious person near her. She tries to wiggle herself over to the woman to nudge her.

The nudging doesn't bring the stout dwarven woman around (unless the player decides otherwise).

The woman smirks, "I do hope you manage to wake her up. That one had a symbol of Pharasma, I'd really prefer for her to be conscious when she gets flayed."

Perception DC 20:
Voices in the distance, "wake ... Pharasma ... flayed"

Pool Room

Just as Drea and Konstantin two things happen almost simutaneously - there is the twang of a crossbow and Roshan throws a kunai at the hidden sniper.

1: Drea, 2: Konstantin: 1d2 ⇒ 2
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d8 ⇒ 5

The arrow just barely goes wide, deflected by Konstantin's force armor.

Roshan:
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

In this case I took your action as a aid-another on Drea/Kon's AC vs the hidden attacker, since it was unlikely you'd be able to drop him in one hit.

Slightly muffled by the blocking stone, you hear a voice with a Mendev accent, "It's not one of the freaks, get Hosilla."

"К черту богов!" Konstantin blurts in surprise as the quarrel bounces off his invisible armor. He ducks behind the blockade in an effort to get some cover from the sniper and will attempt to locate the shooter.

"Surrender now, or some very unpleasant things will happen to you," he calls. After noticing the sling stone whizzing in the sniper's direction: "Much like that!"

Hallit:

The way he says it seems to imply more that it's a traditional curse than any especial sacrilegious intent.

Rolls (should they become necessary):

A slightly muffled sound of stone scraping against stone. Hurried explanations.

A low, cruel laugh. A woman's voice, whiskey-hardened, "Oh, no. Crusaders at my door." The tone rises just a bit, loosing control of the manic edge.

"Well, you can stay out there, all safe and sound."

Perception DC 15 (no take-10):
The same voice, quieter. "Drag her ass out here."
Samirah/Sigrit:
Hosilla, presumably since she responded when the name was called, calls out. Then she turns to her tiefling bodyguard, pointing right at Samirah. "Drag her ass out here." Motioning towards the bloodstained stone table.

Dragged out to the larger room, you see a number of men and women dressed in armor which includes helmets sporting curved bull's horns. Hosilla silently motions for them to take up positions where their long glaives can get a number of attacks on anyone coming in through the door.

If you yell, feel free to post it. If you are talking quietly please do so under a DC 15 Perception spoiler.

"But as long as you do, your ally in here will bleed. Leave and I'll stop, or come in and try to stop me."

As Konstain moves down the single corridor, he finds that it doubles back before leading to the door - providing a nice straight-away. Peering around that turn, he sees the crossbow sniper all lined up from his perch to take a shot before you can get to the door.

"It might be a good time to come up with a quick plan rather than run right into the ambush," Drea whispers. "Send in a summoned creature to absorb the first attacks?

This draws a baffled look from Konstantin. It's by far his biggest reaction to anything yet.

He shakes it off. "Summoned creature, followed by melee attackers. No mist. I have enough trouble hitting as it is."


Female Demonspawn Monk (Tetori/Qinggong/Hungry Ghost Monk) 5

"Sounds good to me. I'll save mist as an emergency measure if we end up absolutely needing it; it makes glaives fairly useless but lets closer-in fighters still act. But since it also renders ranged weapons useless, as you point out, I'll leave it as a last resort."


Aravashnial thinks, stumbling up towards the barrier slowly, guided by Anevia. "If it is primarily for a diversion, I will keep my strongest summoning in reserve.
