>>22041637
Up!

My Javelins, Dwarf retainer, Cleric retainer, and 2 dogs are ready to rock.

Think I have any odds at handling anything solo?

What about other parts of Level 3? Please bring up the level 3 map.

File: 1355513983713.png-(923 KB, 1275x1578, D&D Lost City Tier 4 Map.png)

Map of previously explored level 4 areas. The south part is just known from a map

>>22041657
4 is not the same thing as 3!
Map of 3 please.

File: 1355514072789.png-(471 KB, 916x797, D&D Lost City Tier 3 Map.png)

>>22041649
Sure. There's three of you, and five combatants, so it shouldn't be hard

The east area is the Warrior Maiden's headquarters, and the explored room north has the path down to the tombs

>>22041667
From Drogo's time with Alvaro, does he know IC about what directions things are in?

Drogo considers all Usamigaras areas Off-limits, but wishes to take Urist around to spot for hidden doors in cleared areas other than the Usami ones.

>>22041657
Available for a spell!
If Alvaro, Guy, and Fell don't show up, how do my chances look of getting anywhere and living?

>>22041686
>>22041701
Suggest picking up a pair of dogs and some retainers, then we'll be in pretty good shape.

I've got a Dwarf and a Cleric with me, and I myself am a halfling. You're a fightin' dude.
We could use some Sleep dispensers or some Box openers.

>>22041686
He would also explain that the southeast path leads to a shrine of the Brotherhood of Gorm.
I'm assuming that IC the players generally trust each other, and during downtime they compare maps and notes

>>22041701
Fairly good, since Drogo and his two guys are coming along. Level 3 shouldn't be too difficult for the party as is

>>22041719
Drogo will thus avoid the Gromites because of ... earlier issues.

I wish to head Up right - i.e. Northeast. Assuming Urist didn't find any secret doors on the run through of ... room 20 and the cul de sac, I think.

>>22041727
I guess... somehow I lose the group and find Drogo?

>>22041743
Yeah, went back to town with the group, then come back in with Drogo

>>22041773
Did he have a chance to pick up retainers?

>>22041773
Did I get a chance to stock up on any gear?

File: 1355514840523.png-(156 KB, 886x952, D&D Labyrinth Lord Eq(...).png)

>>22041782
I'd rather he didn't. There's getting to be a bit of retainer and warhound bloat.

>>22041787
Yep

>>22041795

>>22041795
My bad.
I'm kind of worried about dying, is all.

File: 1355515111024.png-(523 KB, 916x797, D&D Lost City Tier 3 Map.png)

>>22041808
Opening the door you come to a 80 foot long corridor headed northeast. In front of you are two statues, ten feet tall, of women in scale armour. They stand with spears crossed, and the only way to go ahead is to walk single file under the spears

>>22041834
10ft the floor between the statues for a bit to make sure it's not some kind of trap, then proceed to do so.

>>22041848
Nothing seems to happen. There is a door at the end of the corridor

>>22041873
Open door, say hello.

>>22041795
S'cool. I'll have stocked up on some simple gear to fill up my pack.
-1 grappling hook
-50' hemp rope
-flask (water)
-2 flasks (empty)
-vial
-2 small belt-sacks
-12 iron spikes
-crowbar
-longbow and arrows

All right. Following Drogo down the corridor and toward the door.

File: 1355515652056.png-(555 KB, 916x797, D&D Lost City Tier 3 Map.png)

>>22041882
Opening the door you see a large room, with white draps all around the walls. The smell of incense hangs in the air. The floor has a great green carpet covered in geometrical patterns. In the northeast corner is an altar with a three foot tall statue of Madarua, holding a sword and a sheaf of wheat. To either side is a burning candle, and before her three braziers.
There are six women in the room wearing chainmail, green cloaks, and bronze masks. One seems to be a leader of some kind from the crest on her helmet, and she bars your path. She holds out a hand, then points to your crotch, makes a chopping motion, and crosses her arms.

>>22041885
Okay, put that all in on your character sheet

>>22041905
Oh.
I exit.
Do I know how to apologise in these people's language? If not, I say sorry.

Then I try Northwest (Top Left).

>>22041905
I'm assuming these women are a separate sect from the women we met earlier? Would they know the preggo leader?

>>22041913
You get the point across through your tone of voice and gestures, and she lets you walk away.
Going to the northwest room you come to a corridor heading northwest to a door. There is a crude image of a horned oval with a great circle in the middle of it

>>22041930
They wear the same clothing as the women you met before, and their leader's helmet looks like one worn by some of the women at her meeting in the room just south of here.

File: 1355516095552.png-(593 KB, 916x797, D&D Lost City Tier 3 Map.png)

>>22041954
oops

>>22041954
I'm gonna have to say fuck no to that image and get my sword ready if we intend to go in.

>>22041954
I'd listen at the door but I can't do that.
Can the door be opened with a 10ft or Rope?

>>22041975
I'm thinkin' Cultists. Ready to get stabby?

>>22041988
You can actually, just like how anyone can climb a wall with obvious handholds. But if you do, you can't hear anything.
And yes, you can push the door open

>>22041988
I grab my pole arm with both hands and smirk down at Drogo.
"Ready if you are."

>>22041997
Open the door.
This time I'm expecting a fight.

Rolled 2

>>22042009
This room looks like a ruined shrine. Tattered and rotting tapestries hand from the walls, and a dystie altar is covered in similarly ruined cloth. Atop it are a pair of silver candlesticks, an wooden bowl, and a small statue of an ovoid with a horn, with an eye carved into it.
Beside the altar is a six foot lizard, which hisses and attacks!

Rolled 4

>>22042032
"EXCELSIOR!"

Rolled 6

>>22042032
I got +2 initiative from dex, I think?

Rolled 20 + 3

Not actually shouting it, but it would be hilarious.

Rolled 20, 1, 6, 17, 7 = 51

Here's my swarm!
Me, Urist, Philstop, Max, and Spot.

What hits the lizard?

>>22042039
Party goes first, it takes a 14 to hit

Rolled 2, 6 = 8

>>22042060
I peg it with a javelin and Max finds a chunk.

Rolled 7 + 3

>>22042045
As he approaches the lizard, Ragnar swings his halberd into the creature with an overhead swing.

I hope the thing tries to attack me.
I get -2 AC vs this thing I think.

Rolled 7

>>22042083
The lizard leaps at Urist, trying to bite him.

>>22042093
And misses

Rolled 16, 1, 6, 19, 8 = 50

>>22042093
Nope

Rolled 20 + 3

>>22042099
Gonna swing away, just like Joaquin Phoenix in "Signs".

>>22042105
>>22042112

Don't bother with damage, that's enough hits to tear the lizard apart

Players get 72 XP, and retainers get 36XP

Rolled 4 + 3

>>22042112
That's my second 20 this session. I'm feeling lucky.

>>22042099

>20 + 3

RNG's seed is wonky.

>>22042116
Poke the crap out of the dystie altar, tapestries, cloth, bowl, and the statue from the side, in the eye, with the 10ft.

>>22042112
Ragnar, your character sheet is on page 15. You should adjust your inventory and gold, as well as put in your XP earned. Remember that your strength gives you a 10% XP bonus, so in total you get 79XP

>>22042124
The candlesticks and statue are knocked over by your pole, but aside from that nothing else happens

>>22042116
Whoops. How's the lizard hide look? Sellable?
Wish I had some detect magic water....

>>22042133
Making one of those nifty statblocks that are up higher in the doc; I'm currently at 762xp

>>22042143
Kind of torn up, but yeah you could skin it. Apparently some adventurers just hired an alchemist, and he might be interested in things like that...

>>22042142
If it's silver, grab it. That's loot.
The statue? I'm expecting cursed shit. Is it possible to attack the statue?
I ask if Ragnar wants to try breaking the statue open.
Oh, check behind the tapestries since sometimes there's stuff there.

>>22042161
It's made of rare teakwood, just like the bowl. So yeah, you can try smashing or chopping it up. It's just a small statue, about eight inches tall. Urist says that he thinks they're worth something, given the fine designs carved on the bowl and their material.

There is nothing behind the tapestries

>>22042154
Skinning that bitch and as for breaking the statue, its more of a matter of whether we think its hollowed out or not

>>22042202
If you tap it, it doesn't sound hollow

>>22042222
"Its probably worth more intact, I'd wager." I pause for a moment. "Wanna smash it anyway?"

File: 1355517915638.png-(352 KB, 770x797, search_here.png)

>>22042222
Tapping it doesn't make a hollow sound?
Well, I let Ragnar decide if he wants to carry it.

Also, checking my self-made map, something is wrong.

I didn't see any hatches down on Level 2 that would lead to this area.

From what little I know of level 4, it seems the entry hallway is below this, and the pillars leading up didn't have any ladders.

I want to double-check the red marked area carefully. Groping at stones, pushing walls doomguy style and all that.

>>22042228
You keep it. If it's not cursed then it's loot.

>>22042239
Actually that bit going west from the north corridor isn't a wall, but just shows you haven't explored down that corridor.
Tapping your way along the walls in the northwest corridor, you find a section which you can push in. It leads to a 20 foot room with a big wicker basket in the middle.
So Ragnar, take the bowl and statue or not?

File: 1355518197794.png-(622 KB, 916x797, D&D Lost City Tier 3 Map.png)

>>22042284

>>22042284
> It leads to a 20 foot room with a big wicker basket in the middle.
Rope + Grapple and pull it.

>>22042284
Taking the bowl and statue. Maybe there'll be a seller in town, maybe it'll serve as a hilarious footstool

>>22042294
Yep.

Rolled 3

>>22042294
Pulling on the basket, you tip it over. Out of it pour silver coins, gemstones, and more importantly two big cobras. Roll for initiative

Rolled 15, 16 = 31

>>22042308
Actually, belay that. Snakes always win initiative

Rolled 2

>>22042308
Psh cobras.

Rolled 12, 4 = 16

>>22042318
That'd be 2 save-or-dies for whichever one of my retainers just got hit, yes?

Rolled 4

>>22042327
One leaps at Drogo, but is fended off by his shield. The other bites Max. Make a saving throw vs poison for the dog

Rolled 4

>>22042337
The 12 doesn't count?
Here we go.

Rolled 20, 1, 7, 10 = 38

>>22042343

Well, time to have everyone alive eat some pit vipers.

>>22042343
Max starts shaking and frothing at the mouth, before slowly falling dead

Rolled 18

>>22042318
Rocking the longbow this time around, not sure of modifiers.

Rolled 2

>>22042352
Seriously Urist all you do is Fumble.
what the fuck is wrong with you Urist.

>>22042364
-1 for your dex penalty, but that still hits.
It takes 13 to hit the cobras

>>22042352
>>22042369
2 from me.

I ask Ragnar why he's bothering with a longbow 1d8 -1 to hit, when he has a polearm.1d10 +3 to hit +3 to damage.

Rolled 7

>>22042374
Thanks DM.

>>22042380
"I ain't got a snake problem, and don't you insinuate I do."

>>22042388
I suspect someone's afraid of snakes.

Welp, time for another Cobra hit!

Rolled 7, 14 = 21

>>22042388
The two cobras continue to attack, going for Urist and Spot

Rolled 4

>>22042402
Oh dear. Looks like the dogs are having some bad luck this fight.

Rolled 9

>>22042402

Rolled 5, 15, 19 = 39

>>22042405
>>22042407

Right, first is my roll. If Urist rolls a 1 again I'm letting him handle the snakes solo.

Rolled 6

>>22042418
1d8 from Urist.

Rolled 2

>>22042418
>>22042428
1d6 from the cleric.

That's 50g this fight's cost me. Darn snakes.

>>22042407
Both the dogs are dead...

Rolled 3, 6 = 9

>>22042437
Philgo brains one of the snakes, leaving only one alive.

Rolling snake morale

>>22042439
Relax, s'only 50gp. I can pick up new ones.

>>22042451
Apparently you need to roll morale for Ragnar too since he seems to have pissed off.

Rolled 19 + 3

>>22042451
Gonna drop the bow and hack away with the pole arm. For the dogs.

Rolled 5 + 3

>>22042464
hah. I actually wanted to roll morale before round 1, then forgot about Ragnar's vermin-aversion.

Also... Braining that snake with shaking knees.

>>22042466
Polearms. Good for people who don't like to be adjacent to foes but who have high STR modifiers.

>>22042485
And they double as 10' poles... eh... 3'-5' poles.

>>22042484
The snake is hacked apart before it has a chance to flee
25XP for PCs, 13XP for retainers

>>22042501
Right. What valuables are in the Basket? I loot 'em and appraise 'em.

>>22042501
It looks like there's about 3000 silver pieces in the room, and five gemstones. A diamond, two emeralds, an opal, and some turquoise

>>22042512
"Nice haul." Ragnar subconsciously sidesteps the snakes' corpses and picks up his bow, putting it back where it belongs.

>>22042308
So we got:
Silver Candlestick * 2
Wood bowl
Wood statue (Cyclops)
3000 Silver coins
Diamond
Emerald * 2
Opal
Turquoise

Sweet.

I'm totally not cool with having two Expsinks hanging around with me without the awesome disposableness of dogs. I ask the Warrior Maidens if they've got some guard dogs for sale. If not, I suppose I'll tolerate the retainers for now, xpsinks though they may be.

>>22042512
After looting the stuff, open up the other door in this room and get ready to fight whatever's behind it.

>>22042532
They do not. You'll have to get some in town, which takes a few hours

>>22042545
Bugger it, clear floor 3 first.

>>22042545
What about the door in the basket-room?

File: 1355519729222.png-(631 KB, 916x797, D&D Lost City Tier 3 Map.png)

>>22042549
Drogo, Ragnar, and Urist enter the room when the door suddenly slams shut behind you. Water starts pouring in from the ceiling, filling the room!

>>22042570
Hey, it's water. Neat.
I check the north wall for secrets along with Philgo and have Urist search for secret stuff.
Water's flowing in from grates in the ceiling, ya?

>>22042570
Grabbing my crowbar from my backpack and pulling at that door. Does it budge?

>>22042583
Roll 1d6 to try to break the door
>>22042581
Yep. Bashing away, you find a section that sounds hollow, but you can't get it open.

Rolled 5

>>22042602

Rolled 3

>>22042602
I shall assist in this endeavour.

>>22042607
Ragnar forces the door open and water floods out into the room. The hatches in the ceiling close, and the water flows into a drain under the basket

>>22042602
I'm thinking bashing the grate and climbing up would be easier than bashing the door if this doesn't work. I'm grapplin' the grate if we cannot doorbash.

Does Ragnar's polearm reach that high? I'll give my 10ft over to Urist to gratebash i-

>>22042622
Oh.
I engrave into the floor with the diamond: "Water trap North, Prop door open".
I then use the nearby corpses of the dogs to prop the door open.

>>22042638
>>22042622
Now that piece of entertainment is over, time to bugger with the Hollow Point.

I wonder what crazy asshole has enough water to just waste in a pyramid. You'd think it'd be a sand trap.

>>22042622
"Well, I guess that solves that problem." Ragnar's gonna peek back into the flooded room. Anything neat, aside from the shimmer of wet stone?

Ragnar looks back at Drogo propping the door with a dog and promptly hands him an iron spike. "This might work better, friend."

>>22042655
No, nothing

>>22042655
Thank you Ragnar.

I use my small hammer to spike that door.

>>22042663
I tell Ragnar that a section of the wall sounded hollow. Perhaps we should try messing with it to see if it's a secret door or if it's machinery or something.

If we can't open it, I'd say head north then west to complete the level.

>>22042663
Hmmm... then I'll tap around the ground nearby the wall Drogo mentioned with the butt of my polearm. Not as good as a 10' pole, but its what I got.

>>22042695
You got pitons and crowbar
I got 10ft and rope grapple.
Together we a TEAM.

>>22042677
This time, you find a handhold and can pull the door open. You see a room filled with shelves, mostly empty but some with old crates. The entire room is filled with a yellow fungus, growing in thick round clusters

File: 1355520715170.png-(648 KB, 916x797, D&D Lost City Tier 3 Map.png)

>>22042722

>>22042722
If I apply the 10ft template of burning oil to the patches of yellow fungus, is there a way I can do this without hitting the shelves with crates on them?

Yellow Fungus be some nasty shit bro. I heard from a guy that it can Confuse you.

>>22042708
Go team Adventure!

>>22042722
Bwuh? I offer Drogo my flint and tinder for the task.

>>22042741
Not really, the fungus is growing on the shelves and crates.

>>22042754
Anything we can see occupying space on the crates and shelves aside from fungus? Or does it look like the fungus is coating that, too?

>>22042769
Everything in this room is covered in yellow fungus

>>22042752
I got that. I got 26 oil flasks, 27 torches.

>>22042754
Bugger it. Right, here's the plan. Two of you throw oil, Two of you throw torches. We make the throw on the count of 3. Then, before the torches and oil even land, we just ... tactically roll/dive/run/walk away.

Ready, Ragnar?
Ready, Philgo?
Ready, Urist?

>>22042789
Well, shit. So you're saying burn it down and don't look back? Cuz I'm game.

Rolled 10, 2, 4, 1 = 17

>>22042789
>>22042815
That is correct.

Good lordy I think we just set ourselves on fire.

>>22042815
>>22042789
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRlj5vjp3Ko

The room is burning. This could go on for quite some time. Do you want to wait for the flames to die down, or go elsewhere for a while?

>>22042837
I'd say explore level 4, make a note to check back here later once we've buggered around on level 4 for a bit.

What's your take on the issue, Ragnar?

>>22042846
Sounds good!

>>22042861
>>22042846
Alrighty. Map's the second image posted ITT, you get to floor 4 by going down a ramp to room 38.

Where to from there?

>>22042861
Eh, crap. Yes, I say we check up on level 4; we made a shortcut the last time we were there, so it should be pretty accessible.

>>22042837
>>22042846
Here's the plan:
Go over the previously-cleared areas of level 4 with Urist seeing what his dwarf eyes can see about secret doors and whatnot.

Are any of 31, 37, 38, 39, not fully cleared yet?

Might as well walk along the path we have the map for, as well. Search for secret doors.

>>22042837
dang should have posted this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCTaxGhRC5M

>>22042892
Anything that hasn't been lit up hasn't been touched yet. I'd suggest going west from 31 or the room south of 39.

>>22042904
Actually the area south of 39 hasn't been explored, you've just seen a map of those corridors

>>22042901
Ah, before we leave the room, we should probably close the door (not the one we spiked open, though) so we don't suffocate the rest of the inhabitants

>>22042892
>>22042904
Understood. Room south of 39 seems good to me.

>>22042911
Well we're exploring it and checking it for secret doors.
OOC: I hope we find that obvious loot closet Northeast of 37.

>>22042911
Right. Forgot you mentioned that in the second image post. We've just got it mapped.

>>22042917
I disagree. The air needs to flow to the area to keep the flames burning and ensure the yellow mold is destroyed.

>>22042925
Right, forgot my basic alchemy for a second there. Fire needs a source of air. Carry on, brave Drogo.

>>22042920
As you reach the long corridor headed south, Urist points out that the wall just north can slide open, but he can't tell how to get it open.
He also mentions that the floor here is sloping slightly downward

>>22042937
Sloping slightly downward eh? Could be trouble.

Actually if the floor is sloping and there's a secret door, I'm thinking boulder trap.

Ragnar, hammer some pitons into the ground in case this is an obvious boulder trap.

>>22042947
"Got it." Hammering in some pitons around the area he's pointed out.

>>22042947
If the party left any easily movable corpses in, say, room 39 or 37, I'd grab 'em and move 'em onto the sloping path. God bless the dead and their ability to doorstop.

So, where to from here, Raggy? You wanna go west of 31 or south of 39?

>>22042960
Thanks Ragnar. You're the boss.

I'll add some pitons to my shopping list for when I go back to town. Those things are hella handy.

>>22042972
There are some smashed up skeletons in room 31, as well as a non-animate mummy

>>22042988
Bit far to haul though. So I suppose it's only pitons for now.
Dry bones won't stop boulders anyway.

>>22042988
"Mostly there" skeletons, remember. Fell used quite a few bones for his Rattleshirt costume.

"Right now, I've a hunch that south is best for treasure. Who knows what lies west, though?"

>>22043022
I'm up for treasure.
Let us venture forth into that room to the south that was pointed out on the map with the door.

My lantern's on and consuming oil, I suppose I'll remove 1 flask from my inventory now.

>>22043036
I'm keeping track of time, I'll let you know when you need to use more oil for the lamp

Anyway, which way do you want to go?

>>22043036
"Keep an eye out for an engraving. It should mention Alvaro, Guy, Fell, and Ragnar."
>>22043042
Time Lord the Dungeon Keeper knows all

>>22043072
I will keep an eye out for it.
We going down the long south-north hallway and opening the door to the East, on our left.

>>22043036
As you head towards the door to room 39, Urist stops you."There's a big pressure plate, 20 foot long and as wide as the whole corridor just ahead."

>>22043092
Called it.

Any side passages nearby?

>>22043092
Urist, are there any handholds in the walls?

>>22043122
Nope. And the only side passage is the one to room 39

>>22043144
Ah. I'm guessing we can't reach room 39, and the door will be locked, and a big fuckoff boulder will roll down at us and crush us.
Can we open room 39's door and go in without activating the pressure pad?

>>22043144
"Looks like we're finding another way around." Ragnar proceeds to use a piton to chisel a message in the wall nearby warning about the pressure plates up ahead.

>>22043160
You can go into room 39 safely, however the party's been there before and seen it's already been looted

>>22043173
Can I 10ft pole the pressure plate from inside 39?
Can I somehow throw heavy shit onto the plate from inside 39?

>>22043160
"Nothing in room 39 but a sarcophagus and some floating fire."

>>22043181
You can try

>>22043186
Well I'm tryin' then.
What do I need to roll?
Also Ragnar, get in 39. You too, Urist and Philgo.

>>22043198
No roll. You push down on the plate, but it doesn't budge just from your weight. You could get Urist and Philgo to help you push on the pole though

>>22043209
Ragnar, wanna try helping me to push this plate? I'm not fat enough.

>>22043216
Against my best judgment? Sure, lets tempt fate.

>>22043229
Getting ready to run for my life with Drogo should anything happen

>>22043229
>>22043216
It's okay, we're around a corner.

>>22043229
Pushing the plate, the wall north of the corridor slides open, and a ten foot wide boulder rolls out! Being on a slope, it picks up enough speed to bend your pitons and keep rolling, and it goes down the corridor...

>>22043259
Step back into 39, let it roll past.
Do I lose my 10ft pole or was I able to retract it in time?

>>22043272
mimicking action

File: 1355523817669.png-(958 KB, 1275x1578, D&D Lost City Tier 4 Map1.png)

>>22043259
And crashes to a stop at the south end

>>22043272
Yeah, you can pull it away

>>22043277
See Ragnar I told ya.
Boulders.

I move down the corridor to check out the room to the south. Any pressure plates would've been tripped by the boulder so it should be safe to walk up to the door and just open it.

>>22043278
[OOC: Was this a 2d6-type trap, a reflex-or-die trap, or an instant death trap, had we not noticed it?]

>>22043304
It was a holy shit run away or 3d10 damage type trap.
In theory, it's not save or die. You could get really lucky and be thrown to the side rather than crushed utterly by it. Not likely though

>>22043326
Well we openin' a door to the south.

Give us the glorious treasure and/or enemies, Mr. DM sir.

>>22043295
"Excuse me, I think I dropped my hat and whip somewhere around here..."

Dusting myself off and heading back to that new door.

Rolled 6

>>22043339
Within this room is an elaborate jeweled sarcophagus. Curled up atop it is a nine foot long creature which looks like a big caterpiller, but with eight tentacles around its mouth. Seeing you enter it turns and attacks

Rolled 1

>>22043367
Hi.

>>22043367
>>22043372
Dang.

Rolled 5, 9, 13, 13, 3, 4, 17, 8 = 72

>>22043372
Well, that's you done for...

>>22043385
Well shit

Rolled 6, 8, 17, 14, 11, 10, 1, 5 = 72

>>22043385
Ragnar, make two saves vs paralysis. Philgo makes one

>>22043402
both of them need a 14 to make it

Rolled 20

>>22043402
>>22043385

Rolled 9, 20 = 29

>>22043402

>>22043445
Ragnar falls to the ground, paralysed

>>22043385
Right, let's get some tactics up in here.

I'd have Philgo do CLW on Ragnar to get his ass up. I'm moving in to tank the whatever this is with my javelin throwing. Urist can make himself useful and swing his axe at it.

You'd better start using your polearm when your ass gets up, Raggy.

Rolled 5, 13 = 18

>>22043478
For now? Here's an axe from urist and a javelin from me.

>>22043498
12 would be good enough to hit, so that's 1d6 damage

Rolled 7

>>22043498
1d8+1 from Urist if a roll of 14 can strike this thing.

>>22043507
1d6? Urist has a longsword, he does 1d8 + 1.

Also I believe I have AC -2 vs this thing owing to its size. I inform it to come at me bro.

>>22043453
>>22043478
lemme know when I'm up so I can rip this thing a new cloaca

Rolled 20, 9, 18, 19, 3, 20, 5, 4 = 98

>>22043514
Or that way, sure.
First four vs you, next two vs Urist, then vs philgo.

>>22043524
Yep, CLW undoes paralysis so you're up this round

>>22043531
Ouch. That's a save each. Lucky for you, Dwarves and Halflings are resistant, and only need a 10 to save

Rolled 20, 1 = 21

>>22043531
Lessee. 10 or more saves vs. paralysis.

First we'll go with my save, then urist's.

Rolled 16 + 3

>>22043524
I meant "mrrrrrrr nrrrrr rrrrrrrr" because my mouth don't work.

Batter up!

>>22043551
Urist fumbles again

Rolled 9 + 3

>>22043561
Ah, forgot. What hits?

Polearm damage if I make the hit

Rolled 5, 11 = 16

>>22043551
I see you are a 20.
I'm pretty 20 myself.
Urist just went into a state of Flat though.

Well, here's my round 3. Eat 1 javelin and 1 mace smash from Philgo.
Ragnar better be attacking from range with that polearm of his.

>>22043582
>>22043581
12 hits. I didn't land a hit and neither did Phil.
Hope your ass is smart enough to stand behind me and the cleric.

>>22043581
12.
Ragnar decapitates the carrion crawler. 45XP each, and 23XP for the retainers

>>22043610
Urist is out for a few turns.
I poke around the sarcophagus with the 10ft, see if it's trapped or whatnot.

>>22043610
Ragnar strikes a pose as he kicks the crawler's head across the room.
"Thanks for the assist, Philgo."

>>22043624
You don't set off any traps doing so

>>22043636
Figured that was necessary. You're quite the damage dealer, and I don't fancy my odds solo vs. one of those things.
[1 save or die per round? Yes, I'll dance with that. 8 save or dies per round? No thx]

>>22043665
It's not a save or die. Concievably you could be rescues and brought to a priest with Cure Disease before the larvae hatch and eat their way out of you

>>22043655
Pry off the jewels and gold from the Sarcophagus. Open it, see if it contains mummies or someshit.

>>22043665
I guess its my physique and not my stunning looks that are keeping me in this party, after all.
"Nothing happened? I like that. What's in the box, Drogo?"
Helping pry off some of those jewels

>>22043689
It takes quite some time to get the jewels out. There are a lot of them, and they all look fairly valuable. This could be a big haul.

Opening the grand sarcophagus with the sombre, noble face carved into it, you're faced with a simple wooden coffin within.

>>22043686
Well, so far I have to note that only one thing's checked our HP so far this dungeon out of 4 encounters.

Lizard - bites your hp.

Vipers - bye dogs

Yellow plants - I don't know if this checks HP or not but I burnt it

Boulder - nope

Paralysis worm - nope.

I hope the next room contains skeletons or something.

>>22043731
Just a simple wooden coffin?

Well, if it's not got any valuables, then I suppose put the lid back on and leave whoever's in it at rest.

By the time we've pried off the gems, is Urist back up?

>>22043753
You cant tell without opening the coffin, obviously. If you do so, you see a skeleton surrounded by dust, and the glint of metal.

>>22043753
I'm gonna check inside the coffin. Perhaps whoever's inside might be alive. Gonna---
>>22043776
Well, I WAS gonna be ready to stake whatever was in there, but okay.

>>22043753
No, not yet. And while you're looking into the coffin, you hear a loud hooting and screeching apporach the room

>>22043776
On that note, any way of identifying the John/Jane Doe?

>>22043806
I'll just body block this door right here.
Can this door be hammered or barred shut from this side?

>>22043807
The grave clothes are all rotted away to nothing. Only the metal objects within could give some clue

>>22043830
There's no bar or latch, but you can hold the door closed from this side

>>22043857
I hold it closed, and hope the hooting and screeching just walks its ass by and doesn't come in.

>>22043868
Whatever is making that noise doesn't try to break into the the room.
While waiting for them to leave, Urist arises

>>22043892
Hi Fumbles.
Planning on striking the earth today? 'cause you sure can't strike anything else!
Just kidding.
Well, now I'd like to examine the metal bits. Who was the stiff?

>>22043928
Searching through the dust you find a set of lockpicks, and a silver pendant. Two snakes coming together...facing each other. But they're one. With a five pointed star below

>>22043963
Hey, Usamigaras dude. Neato.
Take the pendant, pocket it. Take the gems, pocket it. The lockpicks are worth maybe 30gp if they're a complete set, and a lot less if incomplete. pocket them too.

So, we got:
Silver Candlestick * 2
Wood bowl
Wood statue (Cyclops)
3000 Silver coins
Diamond
Emerald * 2
Opal
Turquoise
Silver pendant
Lockpicks set
Sarcophagus gems

Ragnar, I'd say we head back to town and offload this stuff. I'm not confident about facing owlbears and paralysis worms with just the four of us.

>>22044000
Seconding this idea. Between the two of us... er, four of us, I'd say this was a good haul.

>>22044000
Give me a second to tally up all the cash...
3250gp. Most of that is from the sarcophagus's gems. That's 1083gp and 3sp for the PCs, and 541gp and 7sp for the retainers

You all get that much experience as well, so withthe bonus I think Ragnar is going to level, or at least get pretty close

>>22044075
Would my retainers use their gp to buy plate mail? Do retainers do that with their money?

>>22044085
Yep, you can have your retainers buy stuff for themselves with the money. And if you want to build a stronghold or place of business, you can have your retainers invest in it as silent partners, as the ones making the Honey Pot are doing

>>22044102
Speaking of which, while it's a bit beyond your price range right now, theyre selling potions of healing for 750gp and curative honey for 200gp. Honey heals 1d4hp, potions of healing 1d6+1.

>>22044121
200gp is for investors or members of public?
I haven't invested yet on this dude so I get public prices.

>>22044121
You know what would be boss?
Poison or Paralysis resistance potions. Something you can quaff to get 10 rounds or so of resistance to that type of thing.

>>22044121
Also, if I sell my splint mail, do I get 75gp for it, or do I get less for it, since it's used?

>>22044141
Members of the public.

>>22044153
Something like that would cost at least 1500gp to have prepared, and the alchemist would send you out to recover a rare ingredient to make it.

>>22044203
Nah, I'm not having items depreciate in value

>>22044206
Aw bugger.

Well, I suppose I'll buy some Plate mail for myself.
Am I able to find replacement dogs?

>>22044075
>whistlingrandpa.ogg
Also, with the bonus, I gather I'm 5 or 6xp away from leveling.

Gonna think on what I spend my newfound wealth on.

>>22044237
I think 14, unless I counted wrong

>>22044224
Yep, the kennel master has responded to demand and is training up war dogs

Rolled 8, 1, 4, 3 = 16

>>22044224
>>22044248
If I am able to find replacement dogs, I name the first one "Bacon" and the second one "Beef".
Rolling 4d8 for their healths.

11 for Bacon, 9 for Beef. Cool.

I have 830 spare gp. If I help the bee farmy thing with 500gp, does that affect the price of honey quarts?

>>22044274
Well, at least they're not called Trapfinder and Meatshield

>>22044302
Yep, you'll get a free quart of honey every other day, and potions are 350gp.

The honey pot fund is on page 24. Add it into the building expansion bit, which is what's being funded now, to construct a tavern.

Right now I'm thinking of necessities: armor, equipment, and maybe a pair of dogs for myself: Dubh and Dirk.

>>22044248
Last I checked I was at 838, but I'll go back and find my total xp from both threads.

>>22044310
Heh. A bit meta naming your dog meatshield but I suppose that is what it is.
But you might as well name your PC "Oilchucker" and your retainers "Lootsink" and "Detect Secret Doors".

>>22044356
Any suggestions on what to do with the cash, Drodo?

>>22044380
Getting some Platemail is a good move.
After that, could buy dogs.
Might buy healing items.
Could also buy treasure maps or somesuch.

Or save your money until you get craptons and commission yourself a +1 polearm or +1 platemail once you've got enough money for magic crap.

File: 1355528437363.png-(38 KB, 375x390, D&D Structure Prices.png)

>>22044380
Save up to buy a castle or a pirate ship

>>22044412
Magic items, apart from potions, are very expensive. You have to pay for the materials and put up enough money for a high level magic user or dwarf to want to spend a few months working on it

What potions have merit?

Is there such a thing as a throwable sleep potion of any sort?

>>22044380
I just realized I typed in "Drodo." ...lawl

>>22044412
Totally getting some plate, spelunking equipment, and healing stuff (if available).

>>22044420
Pirate ship, eh? Hmmmm....
Yup. Doing it. My new goal is becoming the Dread Pirate Ragnar Blackhand.

>>22044458
I think I'll leave the magic gear to being found in caves... or plundered from coastal kingdoms

>>22044458
Wait, I know.

Mistamere is a large city.

With enough bribes to the right sort of people, could I be put in contact with bandits [To kill and then take the stuff from]?

Probably not. I guess I'm just brainstorming and not coming up with anything substantial.

>>22044477
Not really...
There's a big list of potions on page 107 of the Labyrinth Lord rulebook. If there's one you want, ask me and I'll give you an estimate from the alchemist

>>22044517
Well, it's not that large, but possibly?

I'm thinking of finishing up soon and heading off to bed, actually

>>22044560
Good night in advance, then. I've gotta start cooking dinner anyway. Gonna go back and make sure my numbers are right, though.

>>22044536
Heroism potion could be handy. How much?

>>22044596
>>22044614
>>22044560
Roger that, Imma sleep.

I figure some bandit chasing might be less risky and more profitable than tomb running, given that trying to tomb crawl with and under-levelled party is inviting death.

>>22044614
I'd say 2500gp, and the alchemist would send you out for something like a giant's heart or a hydra's liver.

>>22044660
Sounds fun.

>>22044660
Bah. Ain't no Giant's heart or Hydra's liver around here, and even if there were, can't kill that at level 1.

>>22044677
I'm leavin' game for sleep. Good luck to the rest of ya.

annnd I missed it. Lovely.
