When the curtain began to move of its own accord, Lucky prepared to attack.  He hadn't fought a curtain or whatever this was that came at Zuni.  He didn't want to alert the guards inside but what could he do?  If there was a chance he would get inside the room to attack something he knew.

Can I get past it?

In reply to Lucky Six-Fingers (msg # 61):

Lucky, you can.  Make me an Acrobatics or some thing similar at a 16-.  It will take up all your actions this round.  If you want to take a swing at the oozy curtain instead, go ahead and post your rolls.

Ranged attacks at the guys inside the room are possible, but will be at a higher difficulty for you as you're throwing

The oozy curtain thing flows past you Zuni...or you flow past it.  Either way, you clear the archway.

The curtain slams into the biggest available target, which is you Selvin/Zac

Zac<purple> quickly lets you know this curtain-ooze-thing is acidic in nature.  22 pts damage.  Fort save 14- for half Selvin

<purple>Zuni, as you spin into the room beyond you see three women and a man.  The women are all thug looking.  Big and brawny.  Lots of armor and tattoos that read I KILL FOR MOMMA.  They are picking up axes as they seemed to have been surprised by your flamboyant entrance.

The man is brawny as well, and wearing a scale armor.  But something about him just screams spell tosser.  Maybe it's the fact he's raising what looks like a medallion depicting a dragon and mumbling as he aims it your way.

Selvin flinched instinctively when the creature attacked him and the symbiote, but immediately realized it unfounded. The creature was using acid, which he had made Zac more resistant, along with a couple other things, when he last re-shaped them. It hadn't been with this specific creature in mind, just an in-general sort of precaution. But it was nice to see it pay off already.

He kept concentrating on the creature for the moment, to keep it off his friends, even though he knew that there were other threats in further in to the room.

Lucky saw the thing move towards Selvin so took his chances to get past the curtain or whatever it was.  Lucky took a few steps and jumped against the wall, about 4ft up, and when he kicked off the wall he did a somersault in the air.  Coming out of the somersault he landed about 10ft in the room on his feet ready to act.

Since that action was in response to my question can I say it happened last round and now make my first move now inside the room?

In reply to Lucky Six-Fingers (msg # 65):

Lucky:  Yes.  You are in the room and can go.  Thanks.

Selvin, this oozy curtain is tough.  It's still trying to acidify Zac 42 points damage prior to any resistance.  Save for half as before

Your guys go.  The ones in the room are over their surprise.

Thanks

Selvin and Zac mostly resisted the acid. It did burn them a little bit, but nowhere near as bad as it could have been. Zac made a small noise of pain, but that was it. Selvin was starting to be REALLY glad that he had crafted his friend to be resistant to acid - and that he was taking this creature on and not Zuni.

They lashed out at the oozy creature once more with as much power as they could manage, but some of the attacks were not as well aimed as before.

Zuni glanced at all the women.  All of the tall women.  All of the muscular women.  She felt very short.  "....why is everyone in this place taller than me?" she muttered.  And they were all between her and that guy in the armor with the medallion.

Zuni raced forward, drawing her sword.  "Help.  Help.  The Dragons are loose." she said, diving between Brutes 1 and 2 to slide under the table.  There were too many Brutes between her and the finger wiggler so she hoped that by ducking under the table, she could use it as cover.

OOC:
Acrobatics to slide past the Brutes -> 37
If she made it under the table, she was going to attack the armoured guy -> AC20
20 damage if it hit but I don't think that it did.

Lucky watched as Zuni made her heroic attempt to get to the target in the back by sliding under the table.  The maneuver actually aided Lucky.  As she went under the table the two men began to go for her which opened up the top of the table for a tumble assault.

Lucky ran and jumped up onto the table to the opposite side of where Zuni attacked, which would afford him a flanking position.  He bounced off the table and as he came down he slashed with one of his kukri.

"Nice move but I don't think they bought it," Lucky said with a chuckle.

34 Acrobatics to jump up and through guards 1 and 2 as well but opposite side.

Hit AC37 for either 11 or 42 damage.

08:38, Today: Lucky Six-Fingers rolled 34,37,11,31 using D20+25,d20+17,d4+9,7d8.  Acrobatics attack damage SNA

This. Damn. Oozy. Curtain. Thing. Will. NOT.  RIP!!!!

Selvin, it's still burning and churning.  But only 16 points damage this time, which I think means you take at most 1 pt.

Meanwhile, in the monkey room...

Brutes 1 and 2 are indeed surprised by the zooming of Zuni, and then by the loquacious Lucky.

The finger wiggler does step back from Zuni's thrust.  But not so much from Lucky's slash.  He goes "Eeerk!" before glaring at you Lucky, apparently whatever he was about to do having been lost.

And then Brute 3 takes advantage of all the confusion and lands a solid blow. Lucky, you got his for 28 pts.

Your guys go

Selvin and Zac shared the same thought - and they both let out a growl of frustration. This creature wasn't hurting him too much, or rather Zac, but it also didn't seem to be taking as much damage as it should. It wouldn't die!

They channeled their combined anger and determination, along with a healthy desire to go help Zuni and maybe Lucky, unleashing a torrent of attacks at the creature once more. "JUST. DIE!"

OOC: AC 28 for 25 dmg, 2 electric. AC 34 for 26 dmg, 3 electric. AC 33 for 19 dmg, 3 electric.
AC 25 for 26 dmg, 1 electric. AC 24 for 26 dmg, 5 electric.

"Naw, they fell for it." Zuni said as she renew her attacks, switching to the first Brute this time.  "I'm very convincing."

OOC:
Attack 1 -> 30 to hit, 24 damage
Attack 2 -> 30 to hit, 22 damage
Attack 3 -> 19 to hit (Crit) 18 to confirm, 19 damage (38 if crit confirms)
Attack 4 -> 29 to hit (Crit) 29 to confirm, 18 damage (36 if crit confirms)

Lucky felt the pain from the guard but knew he needed to keep up his attack on the one he started.  Lucky moved around to Zuni avoiding AoO to within 5ft of the spellcaster again and slashed out with his attack.



Hit AC27 for 51 damage.

13:50, Today: Lucky Six-Fingers rolled 27,12,39 using d20+17,d4+9,7d8.  Attack.

AND
Hampered: All of the target’s speeds are reduced by half (to a minimum of 5 feet). In addition, the target cannot take a 5-foot step.

In reply to Lucky Six-Fingers (msg # 73):

The Brute you're fighting makes a grunting noise and smacks you with a mace Zuni.  Really hard too. 19 pts. dam

Lucky, the finger wiggler seems all kinds of surprised as you slice him up.  He falls backwards, though he's not dead.  Yet.

Meanwhile one of the Brutes slams into you from the side 21 pts damage Lucky

Selvin/Zac...you've made some headway.  The ooze keeps oozing acid 22 pts this round.  Before your resist.  Save for half.  Etc..

It seems to be moving slower.  Which must be a good sign.  Right?  Right?  Sure it is.

Your guys go.

Lucky was getting a little pissed that the spellcaster was managing to stay alive...

So instead of moving, Lucky decided to stay put this time.  He wasn't flanking either of the enemies before him but he could at least hopefully kill the spellcaster this time.  "Wait your turn!  I will kill you next!"  Lucky says to the guard.  Does the guard have red eyes?

Hit AC28 for 12
AC23 for 10
AC21 for 10
AC20 for 10
AC23 for 10

Selvin felt the creature's attempt to devour them both and break them down with acid fail again. To Zac he mentally muttered, I'm REALLY glad I made ya resistant t'acid! Like REALLY glad! He let out a sigh. Okay. We need t'end this an' help our friends! C'mon!

The two worked together to unleash another flurry of blows on the creature, hoping to put it down finally.

OOC: Hit AC 26 for 24 dmg, 4 electric. AC 19 for 24 dmg, 2 electric. AC 30 for 26 dmg, 2 electric.
AC 18 for 27 dmg, 4 electric. AC 30 for 22 dmg, 3 electric.

In reply to Lucky Six-Fingers (msg # 75):

You rain bloody kukri justice down Lucky.  The spell caster is pretty tough though.  Oh.  And he has red eyes.

The two of you step back a moment Selvin/Zac, perhaps in disbelief.  The Ooze Curtain Thing...it's not moving.  It's starting to melt away.  You think...maybe...just maybe...It's dead!

And it is!  Congrats on killing the Oozy Curtain!

Your guys go.  I rolled twelve dice.  One of them was over 10.  One of them.

Zuni cursed when she got hit, as she often did.  Not that it mattered much, she was still going to stab the Brute that hit her.  Stab many, many times.  "Didn't you hear Lucky?  Get in line!"

OOC:
Attack 1 -> 29 to hit, 21 damage
Attack 2 -> 39 to hit, 25 damage
Attack 3 -> 20 to hit, 25 damage
Attack 4 -> 22 to hit, 19 damage

Selvin let out a breath as the thing finally stopped moving and trying to eat/kill them. Good job, my friend! he mentally told his symbiote. But we've got more work t'do!"

He then urged his friend to fly forward at the nearest brute. "Hi there! You have the key?"

OOC: Charge at the nearest brute. If charging is not possible, then just the first attack counts at a -2.
Otherwise, Hit AC 29 for 24 dmg, 2 electric.
Hit AC 33 for 21 dmg, 1 electric. Hit AC 31 for 19 dmg, 4 electric.
Hit AC 26 for 25 dmg, 6 electric. Hit AC 15 for 24 dmg, 5 electric.

23:33, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 24,2,21,1,19,4,25,6,24,5 using 2d6+18,d6,d8+18,d6,d8+18,d6,2d6+18,d6,2d6+18,d6.  Damage (d6 following each is the electricity).

Lucky saw the red eyes on the caster plain as day and so with his main hand, he hit him with the pommel of his blade instead, as many times needed till he passed out.  Then Lucky turned and slashed the guard who had been pissing him off.  "Your turn!  As promised!"

Hit AC29 for 10 non-lethal
Hit AC24 for 13 non-lethal if needed

Then Hit AC14 for 11 damage probably a miss
Hit AC21 for 12 damage

In reply to Lucky Six-Fingers (msg # 80):

Lucky, the caster shuts those red eyes on the second tap.  He's still breathing.

You turn your attention to your new friend:  Ms. Stabby Stab.

She gets one more shot in on you 14 pts damage, but you put her down.

Zuni, your brute gets in line.  Three of them after you're done with her.  None of those lines are getting back up.

Selvin/Zac, you latch on to the last guard.  She is still up and swinging...18 pts damage, though she seems distracted when she realizes she's the last one left standing.

One brute left, the one Selvin has taken on.  Red Eyes/Finger Wiggler is knocked out.

Your go.

Selvin and Zac let out a weird-sounding almost echoing combined growl as the guard hit them. "That was a mistake. We barely felt that." They both grinned and then they unleashed a torrent of attacks on her once more.

OOC: So the 2nd attack was a nat 20, to confirm rolled a 27.
AC 25 for 24 dmg, 2 electric. Possible Crit for 21 dmg, 6 electric (+24 dmg if a crit).
AC 30 for 22 dmg, 6 electric. AC 28 for 25 dmg, 5 electric. AC 26 for 24 dmg 3 electic.

13:35, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 35,36,30,28,26 using d20+16,d20+16,d20+16,d20+16,d20+16.  Full attack power attack.
13:35, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 27 using 1d20+16.  Crit confirmation.
13:36, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 24,2,21,6,22,6,25,5,24,3 using 2d6+18,d6,d8+18,d6,d8+18,d6,2d6+18,d6,2d6+18,d6.  Damage (d6 following each is the electricity).
13:36, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 24 using 2d6+18.  Damage if the crit is confirmed.

Lucky pulled the unconscious body of the spell-user over to the others and cast a quick spell to detect any magic on any of their bodies or on the table.

"Before I knocked this one out it had red eyes.  Just what we need."  Lucky said as he dragged the man over.

Detect magic

In reply to Lucky Six-Fingers (msg # 83):

The Brute gets one last shot in Selvin, and she makes it count. 32 pts damage.  She went out swinging.  But then she pretty much turns to day old bread.

There are a number of low level enchantments on all of them Lucky.  Seems the Queen is giving her Brutes decent armor and weaponry.  Just...not that great. +1 plate and long swords and maces.

The finger wiggler has a plethora of potions.  Mostly purples...ah purple.  The grape juice of life Healing Potions.  There is one black one Potion of Black Dragon Control

There's various monies on the table too.  400 gp worth if we are counting at this point in the game

Selvin let out a grunt and made a slightly sad face as he glanced down at the damage to his symbiotic friend. He quickly cast a spell to heal some of the wounds, which seemed to help, but not enough. He let out a small sigh.

"So what now? Did one of 'em have the keys t'the cells?"

21:12, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 27 using 3d10+10.  Rejuvenate Eidolon.
