Into the Lion's Den



This is the map you pull off the dead goblin. It is fairly detailed and shows the main areas of the cave structure which seems to be an abandoned silver mine. You are currently at the entrance (where the one is).

OCC: Yeah I stole the map from an adventure. Don't worry if ypou have played the adventure before all I took was the map. The encounters are different.

PS: Just ignore the big "Burning Plague" in the middle of the map and you'll be fine.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Madras approaches as the goblins are hidden in the underbrush.  "Well, that went pretty smoothly," he whispers.  "Let's not waste time."
   Assuming no one protests, he strikes the end of the sunrod that's strapped to his morningstar, causing its length to flare in bright white radiance.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Crouching as a cat when stacking it's pray Daven Let's my friends do this fast and well done. I think I and Amras should move ahead of you and hopefully not be discovered by the lights. he draws his rapier, but also make sure that his crossbow is near in canse of a emergancy. he moves infront of the groupe and silently and satying hidden moves closer to the seconed mark.

Moving to the front Amras joins Daven and once out of the range of Madras' light he begins to move forward.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Yeamon watches as Daven and Amras disappear into the dark cave mouth. He ushers both Lynx and Madras in next, "I'll keep an eye out back here, in case those other two come in after us."

As an afterthought he tosses a gold piece off to the side of the cave, so as to divert any attention away from the cave, sure that a goblin's keen eyes would pick out the shiny coin. Then, on all fours, he tries to smooth over the groups tracks into the cave, so at least a cursory glance would not reveal their direction.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

You all aproach area two on the map and there is one torch burning there. No one is in sight but you hear slight noise coming from the west. (left) Anyone who looks in that direction sees a patch of light at the end of a mine tunnel in which there is a wooden door approximetly 40ft away.

Daven makes it all the way to the door with no incident. There is a lot of noise coming from the other side of the door now that he is close. It seems to lead to a mess hall of some sort as you can hear clinking of dishes and people shouting, talking and laughing loudly.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

A distinct unease descends over Yeamon as the party venture further down the eastward tunnel. The glow from Madras's sunrod casts strange shadows up against the passage walls, and Yeamon uses his powers of concentration to keep from jumping at shadows that dart about the corner of his vision.

Ahead between Madras and Lynx, he can just make out the back of Amras; a reassuring sight. He knows the rogue must be further ahead. The monk looks over his shoulder once more, now in the knowledge that there are several creatures between them and their path back to the surface.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

The party crept down the coridoor slowly. Daven ahead hidden in the shadows and not making a whisper of noise. Amras comes next with Yeamon, Lynx and Madras bringing up the rear. As the party travels they notice water dripping from the ceilings and a dank musty smell wafts through on a dry breeze. Suddenly a slight click is heard and a pit trap opens under the feet of Daven and Amras.


DC 15 reflex save avoids the pit.
The trap is the box with the X through it just before the 5

Daven is quick to react and had a almost supernatural to detect traps, that is the few times he make them go of. He manage easyly to avoide the pit trap, but swears underneat his breat. He felt stupid that he had not remembered to check the map for any traps. This could just make life a living hell if any enemy soldiers heared the trap go of.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

The party is able to bypass the trap and get to the other side. The cavern they are in is large and several stalagmites and stalactites are in the center. There is an incessant dripping noise as the party moves through the area.


The Pc's are on the other side of the trap and are currently one or two squares below the box with the 'X'. Where do you guys go from there?

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Yeamon follows with the rest of the party as Daven leads the way along the the edge of the cave to the right.

The pointed rock formations that glint white in the light of the sunrod, contrast against the meanacing darkness of the depths of the cave, so that to Yeamon it appears as if the rogue has vanished into the teeth filled mouth of some giant beast.

A drip of cold water drops onto the monk's neck, that feels like the chill touch of some undead fiend.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

The party moves east against the wall on the right and goes around the pillars in the centre of the room. Meanwhile Amras stays to the north and goes along the north wall.

Suddenly, Amras notices missiles flying over his head as he opens his mouth to warn his companions the arrows fall among the party. 3 Javelins miss splintering as they hit the rocky cavern floor, the other three hit Lynx, Yeamon and Daven.

The party wins initiative so they can go first. You guys are down near to the tunnel exiting the chamber. Amras is directly underneath the ledge that the javelins came from.

There are 6 orcs on top of the ledge. One of them has a large club in its hands and seems to be moving towards a gong. The others are standing beside weapon racks that have javelins.

Party has init.

Daven : 8 dam
Lynx  : 7 dam
Yeamon: 6 dam

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Yeamon spins instinctively as the javelin appears before him, managing to take the blow on his side, rather than it piercing any of his vitals. Still the weapon opens a nasty wound in his flesh, and his grimmaces with pain.

Pulling the weapon out, Yeamon dashes forward toward the origin point of the missiles, zig zagging trying to take advantage of the cover offered by the rising stumps of the stalagmites.

You get to the top just as the orc is about to move off. He takes a swing at you before moving to the gong. (AOO)

Yeamon:

The ledge is at the top of the cavern that has the stalagmites. With a double move you can probably make it to the top.

Your shot goes wide.


Yeamon, I will wait to see where you move with your actions before having the enemy act. Once that happens I'll wrap up the round and you guys get to go again.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Amras climbs to the top of the rope in good time. He easily avoids a blow from the cudgel weilding orc who turns to run towards the gong. As he moves off however, an arrow comes out of nowhere hitting him in the back and taking him to the floor. Meanwhile Yeamon gets to the top of the rope just in time to see the other five orcs advancing on Amras. Three of the creatures attack Amras while two attack yeamon. Two orcs manage to get past Amras defences both hitting the ranger with solid blows. Only one Orc manages to hit Yeamon, but the javelin hits the monk in the side of the neck Yeamon barely throwing his head to the side in time to avoid death.

Amras: 12 Damage
Yeamon: 10 Damage

Party positions:
Yeamon & Amras on the ledge facing down the hordes

Lynx, Madras & Daven: Ground floor

The party is up again

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Blood spurts forth from a grevious wound in the monk's neck. Just an inch to the left would have severed his jugular vein.

Fighting to stay on his feet he launches into a flurry of punches at the last orc to hit him, but blood loss is already causing his vision to blurr, and his blows only strike the air before him.

He lets out a piercing scream as he attempts to use a stunning fist attack, but it is wasted as his blow fails to connect.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Madras incants while holding his amulet and a glowing mace springs into being to aid yeoman.

Yeoman lets out a piercing scream as he attempts to launch a flurry of punches at the last orc to hit him. His aim is off though and the Orc easily dodges the blows. The ugly creature smiles smugly as the man wavers while he tries to stay conscious. He slashes at the monk, who instinctively ducks below the blow...

Amras decapitates one orc with a slash of his long sword and stabs another in its gut with his shorts word With a slash. That poor bastard falls to the ground in a pool of his own blood.

Daven climbs up the rope ladder and takes in the scene before him; Yeoman is hard pressed, the Orc is likely to kill him if he doesn’t get help soon. Amras is holding his own, with two dead Orcs at his feet and facing off with another. A glowing mace swings itself at an Orc that was facing yeoman, keeping it occupied for the time

The Orcs miss all the PC's this round.

Lynx continues his song...

2 orcs left! Party is up.

Daven kills one orc with a well placed thrust and before that one has hit the floor Amras and Yeamon finish off the remaining orc with a combination of cuts and punches. As the trio atop the ledge pause to catch their breath Lynx on the lookout for more enemies sees a light approaching from the passage that you all just exited. Signalling to Madras the two join the others atop the ledge as a group of men head into the cavern and out the next side.

Spot checks everyone.

With shaking hands the monk unstoppers the vial and makes to drink the potion, but his quivering upends the bottle before it meets his lips and most of the liquid splashes on the ledge floor and down his habit, making a dark wet patch on the cloth. Only a few drops make it past his lips.

He holds his hand up to Madras as the cleric appears and offers his magical healing aid.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Madras places his hand on Yeamon's forehead.  Rather than close his eyes as might be expected, his are wide open as he prays.  "Morninglord, Shining Glory, seal these wounds and let your radiance renew this failing shell."  His eyes glow golden, as a similar glow encompasses his hand, spreading out into Yeamon's head and fading as it grows to encompass him.

[Convering lesser restoration into cure moderate wounds.  Only rolled an 8 total, but that's a lot more than he had.  Anyone else in bad shape?]

The pc's take a moment to catch their breath and while the cleric is healing Yeamon,(and maybe Amras), Lynx notices the faint outline of a door in what seems to be a solid wall. He points it out to the party.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Yeamon accepts Madras's healing hand, and the flesh around the seeping wound in his neck knits itself back together. The greyness that had washed over his face disappears and once more he is charged with energy.

As Lynx draws the party's attention to the door, Yeamon frees another vial from his pack. He uncorks it and quickly downs the liquid, this time avoiding any spillage.

OOC: Cheers Madras!

Madras puts his hand over Amras's wound, asking for another blessing from the Morninglord, though his request is a little simpler.  The golden light spreads from his hand into the injury, nearly closing it completely.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Lianna and Kalem:

After being captured, your belongings were taken from you and you were thrown in a cell with other prisoners. You were handcuffed blindfolded and gagged and all spell components taken. Over the course of a week or so all the other prisoners have died either killed by the guards or taken never to be seen by you again. The Malarite cult keeps you around to identify magic items and to do other sorts of scholarly pursuits for them. One day you hear the sounds of fighting and then you hear the lock being opened. You haven't been fed in about 36 hours.


Everybody else:

You enter a room and see a typical dungeon layout. The room is dominated by a single large cell that is in the centre with Bars on all sides. There are racks with what looks like implements of torture as well as a large chest to one side. In the cell are a two people who look dirty and dishevelled. You can't tell their race but you can tell that one is female. They are both bound securely and a hood is over their head. None of them is the boy you seek as they are both too big.

The party climbs down the ropes silently. Daven leads off with Amras heading out next. The party hears nothing as the two stealthily move out. Soon Daven disappears ahead. The two newcomers are in the middle with Madras just behind. Lynx and Yeamon bring up the rear watching the back trail so that the party has no unwelcome surprises. When the party reach area six they see Daven waiting. The room is filled with bodies. Some are older, skeletons really, while the rest are in various stages of decomposition and the stink made the party's eyes water. Some of the bodies show the marks of a blade while others look to be burned by magic. In the very centre of the room there is an ancient suit of armour that seems to be magical as it has not a spot of rust. The gauntlets were clasped around the hilt of a longsword of equally impressive craftsmanship and rests on the breastplate. A large moonstone is set in the hilt.

   Still holding his hand before him, he spreads his fingers in front of his face.  "Lathander, Morninglord, show me the power that surrounds me."  For a second, his eyes glow with a bright golden glow; he lowers his hand, looking over the area, as the glow subsides.

Neither Kalem nor Lianna remember anything the guards said about any other captives apart from what they have already imparted. The guards didn't talk much around them. When you all are ready you can head further into the cave. You have the map and it shows only one way to go...

Yeamon follows as the group heads after Daven into the darkness beyond, the rogue now fully out of sight. As he walks, the monk calls to mind a mental picture of the druid they fought with back at the forest. He tries to recall with the all the detail he can the build and attire of the figure he'd wrestled with.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

As Daven exits the tunnel he sees a Half Orc standing with a great axe in his hands about50 feet away. He is looking at the tunnel entrance but has not yet seen Daven due to his stealth.

Daven:

You hear the slight footsteps of your less stealthy companions and you know that even though the Half-Orc hasn't noticed you yet he will soon hear them.

Everyone Else:

You see Daven's silhouette ahead in the tunnel.Hre seems to have stopped.

Yeamon recognises the twanging sound of a bow of some sort firing, and figuring Daven must have shot at something ahead springs forward.

The monk barks quickly, "Cover your ears. Your ears!" as he withdraws a thunderstone from his robe pocket. Trying to push aside some of his companions, he moves forward along the narrow passage and prepares to throw the object into the space beyond.

10:27, Today: Yeamon rolled 25 using 1d20+6. Throw thunderstone past Daven.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

The party sees Yeamon's stone hit the orc square in the chest. A loud bang is heard and the creature shakes his head seemingly able to shrug off the effects of the stone.

From behind the pillar you see The druid you all know so well walk out. Couldn't leave well enough alone could you adventurers. Now you will suffer the wrath of the beastlord!


Battle starts":

Initiative order Party wins! You guys post then I post for the bad guys. I'm gonna try and make a map but I'm no good with the software. Gonna try and con DM Darkchylde into doing it for me :). In the meantime I'll just describe the scene. The orc is fifty feet away and the Druid is about 15 feet behind him. The ground is covered with debris, rocks logs etc and you see the remains of a couple campfires and such. Torches on the walls and stuck in the pillars cast an eerie glow around the room.

Yeamon grunts with annoyance as the orc is dismissive of the loud bang. But the familiar voice of the druid galvanises him once more.

Trying to avoid the orc, Yeamon tries to pick a circling path through the rubble and debris, to approach the druid from the flank.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

As the party bursts into action the druid smiles evilly and shouts Kill them!. The orc roars but it is turned into a shriek of pain as Lianna's spell hits him in the chest. The pain doesn't seem to do anything but make the orc more angry and his eyes become red as he becomes even more fearsome to behold. He swings his axe at Amras hitting the Ranger and hurting him severely . The druid meanwhile begins casting a spell but Madras finishes his first and a morningstar of pure force is created just above the druid's head. The weapon swings at the druid who is able to dodge and his spellcassting is not interrupted. A few seconds later a blade of pure flame springs from his hand.

The party is up again.

A gasp of pain shocks Amras into action as he brings his pair of swords stabbing and slashing at the orc. The first slash tears into the orc's torso biting deep but the stab with the short sword and the follow up slash cause little damage to the angered beast. Swaying slightly Amras stabs again at the creature, this time finding his way through the orc's defence.

Yeamon charges at the druid, as he does so, the fiery blade springing from his enemy's hands. Undistracted though, and bolstered by Lynx's music, he reaches the druid and smashes his left fist true, into the druid's chest with the power of an iron club.

Sorry for the delay in posting, I've been away for a couple of days.

From DM:

You just need to reroll the attack using the same attack bonus to confirm. Was gonna do it for you but I rolled a natural one. I didn't think that was fair so roll it yourself!

Key

DA: Daven
AM: Amras
YE: Yeamon
KG: Kalem Greycastle
MA: Madras
LK: Lynx
LI: Lianna


DR: Druid
OR: Orc

DD: Entrance to cavern


The battle is fully joined and the party reacts as if they have been fighting together for years. Their combined attacks hammer the two foes and give them scarcely any time to react. Lynx's music fills the cavern lifting the spirits of his companions.

After recieving a blessing from Madras, Amras cuts into the orc mercilessly his long and shorts swords almost literally ripping him to shreds. Daven stabs him as well but was unable to reach anywhere vital with his attack. The orc seemed very battered at this point but was still standing. Until Lianna's magic missiles hit it in its chest. It's eyes rolled up into the back of its head and it collapsed just as his axe was raised to strike back at Amras.

Meanwhile the druid dodged the mace hovering over his head once again only to have Yeamon hit him hard in the chest. The druid staggers back a step or two and coughs up blood. It is clear there has been some serious internal damage. He shrugs off the stunning effect however and strikes back ineffectually with his sword. Kalem's attack hits the druid and causes him to flinch but doesn't seem to do much else.

Your up Party!

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Madras steps away from the fight, advancing on the druid, as his magically-summoned weapon strikes again.  As he does, he calls out a prayer to Lathander, causing a shaft of sunlight to shine on him like a spotlight from the ceiling.  The cleric seems to stand taller -- no, he does stand taller under its light.

[Casting enlarge person on myself, then advancing to I4-J5 (I take up a 10-foot space) and readying my weapon as I move.  Edit: My spiritual weapon ends after this attack.]

Re: Into the Lion's Den

The combined might of the party manages to put the druid down. As Amras stands over him having just layed him low with a sword cut, the Druid looks up at him and says, You fools, you haven't saved the boy. you can't even save yourselves! Even if you manage to defeat my master no one in that fly speck village will want the boy there. We did him a favour taking him with us With those cryptic last words the Druids eyes roll up into the back of his head and he shudders giving one last rattling breath before he expires.


What do you do now?

The battle didn't last long but it was quite noisy. This room is large and there is a central pillar with a pool in the centre. There is also some kind of altar at the back. It is ten feet long and five feet wide. There is a cloth hanging down at the front covering the entire length that has a painted symbol. (the holy symbol of Malar.) The altar takes up sqaures G1 and H1.

Lynx becomes even more worried about the boy after the druid's dying words.  "I presume the villagers may not accept the lad due to his unfortunate ties to the Malarites.  They may not want to deal with the chance of the Malarites coming again.  Regardless, we must find him." says Lynx as he approaches the alter to inspect the area.

Yeamon grimaces at the thought of spending any more time in the caves, but refrains from protesting. He'd agreed that they would find the boy after all.

Without offering comment he bends down and looks blankly into the face of the dead druid. All the hatred he had felt to him had slipped away, replaced only with a feeling of emptiness.

Daven extracts a box from the altar. Inside is:

1 Ring (abjuration)
1 Wand (conjuration)

1 Bag (containing a mixture of coins totalling 200gp 75sp 200cp)

Also Kalem you notice glimmers of magic on the dead foes as well.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

"Right, the scrolls here are magical - one abjuration, a protective ward of some kind, most likely.  Then, there is one which includes the dark arts of Necromancy, which I have eschewed in my studies, so it will not be of any use to me any more than it would be to a farmer.  Then, there is one which just so happens to be from my area of expertise, as it is, Transmutations, commonly referred to as alterations and the like.  If you give me a few moments, I will try to decipher the writing upon them, but if I fail, I can divine the secrets to them in the morning. . ." Kalem explained, sounding much like a school-teacher at times, though he didn't know how well the others present, Lianna excluded, were familiar with the Art.


[OOC:  Spellcraft-checks to ID the scrolls (DC=20+Spell Level) - duration: 3 Full Round Actions to get all of them.

Transmutation scroll: 32
Conjuration scroll: 16 (fails)
Necromancy: 21]

"Then, the ring carries an aura of abjuration, as well - I would hazard a guess to it either being one of the ever-so-popular Rings of Protection, or perhaps one bestowing elemental resistances.  The wand bears an aura of conjuration, which is to say the school employed for summoning, translocation-magics, as well as magical healing.  And...  I think I sense something on the druid we fell, too!" he continued, and walked over to their fallen foes, scanning them for magic.

Smiling softly at Lianna, Kalem leaned down to place a quick kiss on her lips, the way he looked at her telling her just how grateful he was, for everything.  Then, he looked up at the others again, and spoke;

"If we have time, we should bring with us the armor from the orc, and the sword from the druid - they are magical, so even if none of you want them for yourself, we should be able to get a decent price for them," Kalem explained, after making sure that there was nothing else magical in the area.

"Hm. . .  yes, it's magical, all right.  The entire room radiates necromancy, actually. . .  but it doesn't look like it's coming from a spell.  Interesting.  And, let's see. . .  the sword holds a moderate aura of evocation - it should be a potent magical blade.  The armor is also enhanced, with an abjuration-effect of similar strength. . .  but, there is something else!  Inside the armor, there is a faint aura of necromancy!  It could be an item dropped inside, or something more sinister - perhaps a spell-trap, set to go off if anyone touches the armor or blade?"

"An aura of such low power as this one usually fades away within half a minute or so after the spell is cast, so I don't think that is the case here. . .  Let me just try something. . ." Kalem replied, and stepped over towards the set of armor, and carefully tried to remove the sword from it's grasp.

Kalem walks over to the suit of armour and bends down grasping the sword by the hilt. The gautlet of the suit of armour closes around the hilt preventing him from taking it and the suit itself stands up and you can see the vague outline of an elf inhabitng it.

"What did it say?"  Madras advances on the spirit, shifting his weapon into his shield-hand and placing his now-freed hand on his belt, where his holy symbol — a rose-colored disc of wood — hangs by a clip.  "If you can, spirit, speak to us in the Common tongue."

He waits, not yet drawing the emblem forth, allowing it a moment to respond.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

The ghost goes silent for a moment and seems to be fading in and out of the material plane. When he finally speaks his voice is filled with profound sadness.

A Paladin of Correllon Larethian I am, or was. I led a party of my fellow elves in here in battle many decades ago. We came in here to dispose of a band of foul orcs who had been using the place as a base. I was killed here and my holy symbol stolen by a shaman of the orc god Gruumsh. His foul touch upon it wounded my soul and I did not have the heart to seek Arvandor. I turned away from my reward and now I am here.

I managed to kill most of the orcs who were here but the cursed shaman managed to get away with my holy symbol and I am stuck in this room. He waved a hand at all the skeletons on the floor I manage to kill any who try to steal my belongings so the folk who now inhabit this cavern have learned to leave me be.

If you wish my sword and armour, you must return to me my holy symbol. The shaman knowing that I could not leave this room hid my symbol somewhere in this cavern. He left it purposefully knowing that I would sense its power and not be able to retrive it.

The ghosrt gives off a moan so terrible and saddening that all in the room feel touched by his profound misery. He starts to flicker once again, The symbol is in here in a room that you have not searched yet bring it back and you will be rewarded. Please, allow me my rest.

With that the armour floats back down and the ghost is gone.

I'll slaughter all who stand in my path. Every orc, goblin or foul creatur in my path.

The party moves swiftly and silently through the cavern reaching the door they had discovered earlier. Though about 45 minutes have passed since they were here before, the noise still continues and the party hears mostly the gruff voices of orcs speaking their gutteral tongue. By the sound of it there is some sort of revelry going on behind the stout wooden door.

If we must rescue him, there must be a better way, so that we do not throw our lives away cheaply." Yeamon's voice, still hushed, is full of concern.

Again, looking around at the others, the monk lays pulls back his hood revealing a cloth cap. Addressing them all, "I can change my appearance with item. I could enter disguised as the druid we slew. I don't know if it will fool them, but we could use it to create a distraction. Perhaps you could hold me hostage until they let the boy go?" Yeamon looks around for a reaction.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Well all sounds like a good idea. I suggest that we do both. Let's assume that the boy is chained down with lock and all. Who here can open locks without me. It would be mighty hard to get trough invisible trough the door without anyone noticing that the door opened and closed. Wait. Does anyone speak orcish. We could try and fool them by sound the alarm and making them run all the way down into the cavern and while they did that make the rescue attemt of the boy and as well make our escape. he wisphered slowly. He kinda liked that idea. It could actully work without them all dying.

Madras sets his morningstar against the wall, then rubs his chin with his free hand.  "I can't speak Orcish, and there's no way I could move quietly in this armor.  And this weapon isn't exactly the sort you'd use to threaten someone.  I could use this, though," he says, withdrawing a silver-bladed dagger.
   "If we want to try the hostage route, I could be the aggressor.  If one of you goes invisible, though, you'll want to be able to move without sound."

Kalem, can you make Daven disappear before us? The rest of you stay out of sight but within earshot. Let's not show them our whole hand yet." With that the monk closes his eyes, concentrating on the image of the druid that he had now fought twice. His appearence began to flicker....

Madras reaches up and flips Yeamon's hood back over his head.  He then places a hand on Kalem's head, asking Lathander to guide his steps, then wraps his shield-arm around the monk's shoulders.

"Best way to do this is to not give them a chance to look too closely.  Let me play the bad guy; a cleric of the Morninglord versus their clearly twisted druid?  They'll buy that."  He brings up his knife and positions himself so that he can give the door a firm kick.  "If they get violent, I've got a little trick that'll give them pause."  He nods, waiting for the aforementioned invisibility spell.

As soon as Kalem finishes his spell, Madras puts his shield-arm around Yeamon, brings his knife up to a threatening position, and kicks the door open.  "Anyone move and the druid dies," the priest intones, putting on his best air of righteousness.  He pauses for just a second — giving Daven the time he'd need to slip through the door — before half-dragging his 'prisoner' into the room.

When you enter the room you see that there are not quite as many orcs as you thought before. 5 orcs sit around a long table eating meat that looks mostly raw. A look of shock and dumb surprise is clearly marked on their faces. In one corner you see the boy with a leash around his neck. A chain goes from the leash to the wall where it seems to be anchored by a spike driven into the rock. He has several wounds that seem to be healing badly. They look like bite marks.

Madras looks up at the orc, meeting its gaze and refusing to flinch.  A corner of his mouth quirks up, and he says two words in the Celestial tongue.  In response, a shaft of sunlight beams down from the ceiling, and when it fades, the cleric is over ten feet tall.  The dagger he'd been holding now more closely resembles a pike, and the morningstar held in his off-hand is nearly as big as the orc's head.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

With the rising noise Amras realises the plan has failed and rushes into the room.

On entering the room he heads left and towards the orcs.

Anywhere along the "2" row dependent on how far I can get.

Moving to stand in the door, Kalem raised his wand, and after speaking a simple command word, he unleashed bolts of magical force into the orc which had been doing the talking, meaning to silence the wretched being forever. . .

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Amras:

You can move to E2 using 30ft of movement, (5 outside the room and 25 inside) so you can still attack once.

Yeamon:

With your fast movement ability you can reach the boy this round by using a double move.

I have updated everyone on the map to reflect their movement during the round so far. Once everyone has posted the orcs will go. And I will make a wrap up post for round one.

Reaching the orcs Amras slashes at the first orc his longsword biting deep into the orc.

Steadying himself Amras brings his shortsword into sight and stares at the orc, blood dripping from the blade of the longsword.

Enemies

As the party springs into action, the orcs are taken somewhat by surprise. Amras rushes into the room and cuts deeply into one while Daven sneaks up from behind and stabs one in the back. A now giant sized Madras tries to take down another but the orc nimbly ducks out of the way avoiding the large morningstar. Kalem and Lianna enter and cast thier spells. Kalem's magic missile bringing a hiss of anger from the orc while Lianna's ray goes wide, burning a fist sized hole in the nearby wall. Yeamon sprints towards the boy avoiding the orcs altogether and they for the most part ignore him, focusing instead on the ones attacking them.

The orc hit by Daven's and Kalem's attacks, (WH) starts to chant, a low animalstic chant that sounds more like the growling of an animal. The other orcs seem to take heart at this and begin to attack the PC's. The orc at the top of the table (OC) takes a step back and starts to wave his hands in mystic passes while chanting a prayer to his unholy diety (DC: 16 spellcraft to identify spell). The orc who had dodged Madras' blow, feeling confident now screams a cry to Malar and steps forward.(B2) He draws a greataxe from his back and takes a mighty swing. His confidence may be miss placed however as MAdras didn't even need to defend against the blow that went harmlessly wide even though he was such a big target. The orc beside him still somewhat reeling from the blow Amras gave him, screams a battle cry and counter attacks his axe biting deep into the ranger. The other Two orcs (W1, W2) give howls of rage and their bodies start changing. Their snouts elongate, and fur covers thier whole bodies. They grow claws and their tusks turn into sharp fangs. They seem to be a hybrid mixture of orc and wolf, and anypne who has ever heard the firside tales knows exactly what they are, werewolves.




OCC: The orc who was doing the talking is the one that Daven Sneak attacked (WH).

As Yeamon tries to get the boy away he realises that the boy is chained to the wall. In response to his question the boy simply whimpers and turns away, closing his eyes and trying to drag his arm out of Yeamon's hand. Daven manages to slip his blade past his opponents defenses bring a howl of rage from the orc Just then Kalem's magic missiles hit and he screams once again. His eyes become more feral and gives Daven a toothy snarl before bounding away towards the spellcasters. Unable to reach Kalem, he heads for the other. It is Lianna who is directly in his path and the others can see that he is intending to put her down for good. (Daven and Madras need to make AOO's before the PC's post their next action. I'll resolve that and then the fight can go onward. If by say tomorrow night they haven't I will do it for them. As for now the orc is charging Lianna and it has hit. If you guys don't take it down before it reaches her she's gonna be in a world of pain.) Meanwhile Madras manages to bring his morningstart down on the head of his opponent and though shaken the orc manages to return a swing of his own. Luckily Madras' hit seemed to have disoriented the creature and it once again fails to hit.

The orc engaging Amras is badly burnt by Lianna's spell allowing the ranger to take him out. Amras' two swords cut into the orc, who clutches his wounds as he falls to the floor. One werewolf runs over to Yeamon and the boy and the other one advances to stand between Amras and OC. He swings a claw at the ranger but the Amras easily dodges the clumsy blow. The other orc, (OC) now with protection, stands calmly and cast another spell. (dc: 16 spellcraft )

Madras's morningstar flashes as it swings in a high arc, coming around to catch the war-howler's legs.  As the weapon smashes through the orc's defenses, he brings it up into his first opponent's midsection.  "Amras, give me room!  Daven, help the boy!  Get moving!"

As the orc charges Lianna her allies do not fail her, as he moves off Daven takes advantage of his change of focus and stabs him. Luckily, he gets past his defenses and hits him in the throat. As the gurgling orc runs by him Madras' morning star whips out and hits him over the head felling him for good.

The regular round can go now.

Lianna's eyes widen in horror, knowing that there is nothing she can do to stop the monster barreling towards her.  She cringes, moving away from Kalem to keep him as protected as possible while calling to mind her spell again in case she should get one last chance to cast before what was surely to be a painful death.

Her horror changes to shock as her new companions save her life.  But, still shaking and afraid, not to mention shocked, her spell flies far over the head of the spellcasting cleric as she recognized the spell he had just cast.

As the warhowler dies in a crumpled heap thanks to a combined attempt by Daven and Madras the party continue their attempts to conclude the battle. Lianna, being shook up by the latest attempt on her life, sends her attack wide burning a scorch mark on the opposite wall of the cavern. Amras manages to hit the werewolf three times but only one of the hits manage to do any permanent damage. The other two heal immediately as the werewolf snarls in pain from Kalem's Magic Missile attack. Yeamon doesn't manage to hit his opponent and the wolf smiles a feral grin. Madras manages to hurt the barbarian he is fighting but the tough orc wrapped in his beserker rage, ignores the damage the cleric inflicted and counter attacks with a powerfull swing of his greataxe, the powerful swing connects solidly almost knocking back the giant sized cleric. Daven manages to stab the orcish priest who rattles off a spell opening himself up for another attack. Daven's rapier stabs throught the orcs shoulder but the cleric grits his teeth against the pain but manages to get the spell off anyway.  A glowing green nimbus surrounds the cleric's hand as he tries to touch Daven. The skilled rogue manages to dodge out of the way. The werewolf attacking yeamon attempts to bite him but missed. Amras is hit twice by successive claw attacks scratching him up further.

Madras cries out in pain as the berserker's axe drives deeply into his abdomen.  Backpedaling desperately, the cleric transfers his morningstar to his shield-hand and pulls a glass vial from his belt.  Popping the cork off with his thumb, he gulps down the contents and tosses the bottle aside; it instantly shrinks back down to its normal size before shattering on the floor.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

Feeling the blood seep from the claw wounds made by the werewolf Amras screams out as he slashes and stabs at the unnatural creature in front of him, "Oh glorius Mielikki help me cleanse the world of this creature" he shouts as he brings his longsword down onto the werewolf once more. The blade slices through the creature's fur and Amras prays the cut is deeper enough to hurt. Adjusting his stance he stabs once more at the creature before bringing the long sword around in an arc and once again it bites deep into the creatures flesh.

As Madras moves northward to get out of the way of the Barbarians axe, Kalem and Lianna hit the orc with a barrage of magical energy. The orc screams out in pain and fixes a hatefull gaze on the two spellcasters. With a primal scream, of rage this time not pain dismissing Madras as out of the fight, he rushes forward to attack the authors of his agony Charging Lianna. Once again she sees death staring her in theAOO: Madras . Amras maganges to scratch the werewolf again but it stubbornly stays up lashing out with its claws. The ranger manages to weave a web of steel between him and his foe however and manages to keep the claws and snapping jaws away from him. Yeamon also manages to avoid the attacks of his enemy and once again they fight to a stalemate. The cleric falls to his knees after Daven's strike but reaches out again with his glowing hand nonetheless. This time, he manages to touch Daven and the rogue feels dark energies flow through his body  and he flinches in pain.

The werewolf's blows slice the air above Yeamon's head, as he reamins in a crouched position. Then stepping forward, and straightening his legs, he drives a powerful uppercut under the creatures chin. It connects with a crack, jarring his opponent backward. As it begins to recover its balance, the monk drives his left fist full into the creatures ribs, screaming once more has he tries to stun the beast.

"Lianna!  Get away from him, quick!" Kalem cried out, and before she could even reply, but let a relieved sigh out when the orc was tripped and landed on his face on the ground.  Instead, he quickly retrieved a potion, and reached out to give it to Lianna, seeing how hurt she was by now.  "Drink this, please?"

Lianna realized how hurt she was or else she would never have agreed with Kalem, leaving him in danger.  But without argument she took the potion and moved behind him, quickly drinking it down but as soon as the vial was empty, she grabbed the back of Kalem's robes, trying to pull him back closer to her.

As the companions battle for their lives the field begins to turn in their favour as two more of their opponents fall. Daven manages to slip his blade between the clerics ribs and Madras is able to finish off the barbarian he tripped by bringing his mace down on his head as he lay prone. Yeamon manages to hit his opponent  but doesn't seem to be doing much damage to him.  Amras is also having difficulty with his werewolf seeing the creatures wounds heal before his eyes almost as soon as the blade leaves it's flesh.  Both Yeamon and Amras are hit by claw attacks from the werewolves but are able to keep their snapping jaws at bay knowing the fate that awaits anyone bitten by a lycanthrope.

OCC: The long awaited update. Will NPC Madras till Halaster gets back. Well just the two werewolves left find a way to kill em guys!

Just as the werewolf shook off the effects of Yeamon's stunning blow the monk hit it again, this time the beast was able to resist the effects of the stunning. The werewolf used that opportunity to saveage the monk using his claws to set him up and then sinking his teeth into the flesh of Yeamon's arm.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

The combined efforts of the party finally bring their opponent low, the werewolf falls to the ground with a last pitifull howl. You all stop a bit to catch your breath and the boy is whimpering on the floor. He is cut and bruised and his skin show teeth marks. Past the boy is a stove and a door which seems to be leading into the pantry.

OCC: I'm just going to move the game along now. Its been dragging and the werewolf wouldn't have lasted another round anyway. Kalem's wand would have seen to that if nothing else. :) I know for sure Madras is gone indefinately but I'm not sure about Yeamon. Daven and Lianna are still with us though. So, we'll roleplay a bit with who is here. I'm syure you are all eager to fuss over an heal and interrogate the poor boy so feel free. XP will be posted soon.

P.s. Don't forget your sidequest!

Taking his healer's kit from his pack Amras carefully tends  the boys wounds.


Turning to the others he says, "Don't forget to keep an eye out for that paladin's holy symbol, it would be nice to let him move on."

Re: Into the Lion's Den

A smile is seen as Daven has a look around in the pantry. He moves over to one part of the pantry and starts pressing and listening to the wall. He says in a exited voice. I think I might have found something here. while he looks at the wall.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

A dart flies from nearby wall but luckily Daven was able to dodge out of the way just in time. Inside the room is a shrine to the orc god Gruumsh. The walls are covered in vile paintings and writings and there is an altar in the middle with a golden bowl filled with some red liquid. Everburning torches that have been enchanted to give off red light light bath the room in an eerie glow.

"Orcs not only smart enough to write, but with a certain artistic sense, too?" Kalem mumbled as he glanced inside the room, though he did not go in - it seemed like a bad idea to go inside a shrine to the one-eyed Orc-God, and he decided it was hardly worth the risk, anyway.  What could there be in there that would be useful for them, anyway?

Daven looks at Kalem and smiles and says Ah your right. It really does make a impression. Not a good one, but still one can not complain when it comes to werewolf orcs. They can make traps as well or do you believe they just got it from a guy they killed. He then walks inside the room holding the alter and starts to search for anything he might find of interest.

Well the most abvious place to look is here, but who knows. Maybe it's somewhere else. We should spread out so we cover more room. I'll search the hall where they are keeping the boy while you search here. Daven turns his bakc to the others and leave the room. He's just about to start before returning to Kalem the prisoner he found. You are a mage right and so is your lady friend over there? he points at Lianna. Should there not be some kind of way for you to learn or detcet the position of this pendant or atleast where it could be if hidden by magic.

"I could have, but I already used that particular cantrip earlier today, and it'll be next morning before I can prepare a new selection of spells, I'm afraid.  Lianna, however, is not dependent on preparing the right selection of spells, and so she should be able to divine any magical auras with ease," Kalem replied, and smiled at Lianna, more than a bit proud of her conciderable talents when it came to magic.

Smiling sweetly at Kalem, Lianna stepped forward shyly and nodded her agreement.  She could divine if there were any magical properties in the area indicated with a simple, minor spell.  Quickly she cast it, nervously hoping that she could be productive and helpful.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

As soon as Lianna cast her cantrip, the room seemed to light up with magical energy. Her various companions all had magical gear and those items glowed softly, The very walls of the room were threaded through with powerful Abjuration magics That seemed to be protecting it from outside interference of some sort Threading through that ther are skeins of necromantic magic poervading the very walls. Lianna can tell that whatever spells were cast here it has the effect of anchoring the spirit of the elf to this plane and is preventing him from going to his final rest. The Altar gives off auras of transmutation and Abjuration while the bowl of red liquid gives off an overwhelming aura of necromancy and while she has no special ability to detect such things, deep in the elven part of her soul she *feels* an unnatural sense of great evil from it and feels uncomfortable being in the same room with it.

Still clutching the medallion in his fist he looks at the others. Well shall we. Shall we leave this place to be forgotten. To let the restless find sleep and peace. His face is is like stone. It does not tell a lot, but there is something deep within his eyes as he speaks the last sentence. He then cast a glance at the young boy before starting to move towards the room where the holy elven warriors restless soul lingers.

Re: Into the Lion's Den

The party weary and nearly spent, retrace their steps to the room where the Elven spirit was. Yeamon and Madras took care of Jim, the little boy who was recovering from his werewolf bites. The spirit was there waiting for them and as they entered a smile covered his ghostly visage.

I thank you brave adventurers, you have saved my soul in truth. May the Seldarine always watch over you and Correllon lend strength to your sword arm and speed to your bowstrings. All, I have to give you are these poor arms that cover me. I need them not where I am going. But if you wish a further reward....

There is a flash of light and you all seem to be taken to a faraway place. It is seen as if in a dream a route to a cave not far from your location. A cave and a hidden cache of weapons and trinkets.

This is where my friends and I hid our belongings before we entered this place. We left all that was not neccessary for our battles here. Go there and retrieve this a boon from me in thanks. The only problem is I know not what might have taken up residence their in the decades since we left it. So go not unprepared fopr battle.


The ghost then simply fades away with a last wave at the friends. Their is a clattering noise as the breastplate, shield and longsword that he was carrying fell. Take these my gift to you, the arms I bore in life.

The breastplate, shield and longsword all glow with green light that slowly fades.


OCC:

All three items bear the symbol of Correllon. The shield on the face, the longsword on the forte, and the armour has it as a small boss over the heart. The shield is a light metal shield. The birthday gifts are in the cave that he mentioned. A smalkl sidequest  to retrieve them would not go amiss I suppose. :)

Daven takes off his backpack ans start putting as much as he can of the three items into his backpack. Strangely enough it has much larger place then one would believe.

They should not rest in a place like this. They deserved to be placed at a better place.

He looks at the boy and then turn his attention to Amras and the others. Look we should hopefully not meet so much strange and take a little extra stop before getting him back. He then looks at the young boy. You think you could handle it?

Lianna shuddered as the paladin faded away.  This was most definately one moment in her life that would never fade from her memory.  But she was drawn back to the others, pulled from her contemplations by the words of Amras and Daven.  Having nothing to contribute to the conversation, however, Lianna stayed out of it.  As always, she would trust Kalem to decide what was best.  She valued his intelligence and ingenuity, knowing that he was most certainly the brains of the two of them.

"Agreed," Kalem replied, though he had almost managed to get used to the lack of fresh air, so long had he been down there.  At least, that's how it felt to him.

Looking over at the boy, Kalem leaned down to pick up his familiar, who had followed him closely (except for when they had done battle).  "Could you hold her for me, perhaps?  She's been dying for some cuddles, poor thing," he told the child, and held the cat out for him to take, hoping it might cheer him up some.

Biting on to the biscuit bread Amras takes a sip of water as he crunches through the biscuit.

Food taken Amras is soon packed up and ready to move on, "Shall we head for the cave?" he asks the rest.
