Adventure - M4: Under the Volcano [Nimisgod judging]
The party makes its way to the Eastern Edge of the city, where horses, wagons, guards and merchants gather to send caravans of passengers and cargo across the land. Nurlan and Erekose are able to locate their old acquaintance, Artemis Trent, a Monemvassian merchant who frequently makes runs to Orussus.
Displaying their golden badges, signifying their work for the crown, the group is quickly offered a place in the caravan, riding in a wagon or riding their own horses, whatever they prefer.
notes
Spoiler:
Feel free to discuss what the party knows of the path ahead of them. All players, post what your PC has been up to for the two to three weeks between the start of this adventure and the conclusion of the last.

On their way to the caravan station, Ogrin asks the group to wait a moment as he approaches a beggar sitting on a box. The two exchange words, then Ogrin hands over two full money pouches and a string of pearls. The beggar takes the bags, inspects the contents and puts them in his box. He picks up a few items from his box and hands them over to Ogrin, who returns to the group.
Spot, DC15:
Spoiler:
The box seem to contain potions, pastes and salves, as well as several small bags, likely full of money or other valuables.
Spot, DC20:
Spoiler:
A large half-orc sits in a nearby doorway, keeping an eye over the beggar and his trade.
OOC:
Spoiler:
Bought a potion of lesser restoration, a potion of cure moderate wounds and 2 potions of cure light wounds. Also had some potions since previous adventures.
Ogrin has not been adventuring for a few months, instead living a life of luxury in the Red Dragon Inn. He's also tried to find out more about Sinoithan (see background) and his whereabouts.

As the group meet outside, before Tenebrynn left for his shopping. "I'll need to pass too to my shop. I won't let Salvador go back there alone. By the same time, I can pass by the temple and take a wand of Healing. Nurlan. Your wand is almost exhausted, no? I think everyone should contribute to it as it will be use to heal everyone. It's will be only 100 gp each... and the 50 gp extra might be use to buy any futur expend on the expedition or be put back in the loot to be split again if we don't use it. Is it fine with everyone?"
The young Salvador pull on Rinaldo arms. "Can I come too?"
"No, you can't. Your mother will need your help with the tournement, so you,ll have to stay."
"I would rather come"
"You can't. And you'll miss the conjuration duel if you come."
"Boring" whispers Salvador to Nurlan

"Ehm...
While it sounds like a splendid plan, I currently find myself without the funds... I invested some money into different healing items just a few minutes ago. If anyone is interested in buying two of these fine potions," Ogrin indicates two potions of cure light wounds, "I'll happily help investing in such a wand."

(Since Ashnar is still in Monemvassia, he can't chip in, unfortunately, unless you want to assume that Rinaldo talked about that before going through the mirror)

"You can keep them for futur use and we can just put you in debt to us. When it will be time to split the loot and recieve the reward, you'll pay us back." suggests Rinaldo.
OOC
KO: We might have discuss it as we knew what we would have been facing. So I think if you agreed in that, you would have left the money to someone so he can buy it. Even if we didn,t knew at that time how many we would be, I think the 100gp would have been enough and if it would have cost more per person, we would have ask the difference once we meet back.

"I think potions are a good idea", says Nurlan. "Not everyone can use a wand -- I've learned how to use this one, and can use it to heal any of you when you get hurt, but if I'm seriously wounded and can't get to it could you treat me? I think potions make a better backup than a second wand. I'm sure glad Rinaldo had his potions last time."
Nurlan has been shopping for better armor, weapons, and some equipment. I haven't actually finished that -- figured he'd do it in between recruiting the new people and the actual departure -- so can we take that out of order? Or maybe he'll do the shopping once we get to Monemvassia.

"But you've been using a lot that wand since you've start to use it.... it was when... the moathouse I think you have it. Do you think there will be enough charges for what is coming. It seems more times goes, more we use it..." asks Rinaldo to Nurlan

"A third... I think it would be wise to have second. I still have three potions with me and I might take an extra one one my way to the temple. That kind of investment is never lost, and we don't have any priest with us. But Nurlan's right, having a few potion each on themsleves would be good too. Nurlan will not be able to be everywhere at the same time."

Eanos, human monk
Eanos surveyed the street as he followed his companions out of the Inn. His time in meditation and solitary training the last few weeks had definitely been helpful; he felt more centered mentally and physically, and had realized during his daily practices that the newfound focus helped him move faster than before. He hoped the results of his intense solitude and training would help him prove useful in the upcoming mission.
As the group debates the wand, Eanos shrugs. "Seeing how helpful Rinaldo's potion was on our last mission, I've gotten one for myself, as well. I've made some purchases--" his gesture takes in the new kama and cloak most noticably--"but I still have the funds to contribute to a wand if that's what we decide. Nurlan does seem to have a point concerning the wand. Putting all of our potential healing in one spot leaves us open should Nurlan be too weak to use the wand--or if the wand is stolen again. I'll willingly contribute, however, if the rest of you feel it's an option we wish to take, especially as we couldn't find the more renewable healing that having a man of the gods might provide us."

Arriving in Three Rings
The party converges on Three Rings and take rooms in the Inn. Abraham no longer spends his days at the inn, but is generally there for supper. He seems to be enjoying his time as mayor and everyone says he’s much better than the last one. Room and board for the party is free, and people are very friendly. Priska seems to have lost or spent all his money, and is back on the begger circuit. Wilfong the gambler seems to have played a key role in separating the sucker from his money, and is soon on his way to another town. Wilbur and Holga have become engaged, and invite the party to their wedding, scheduled for 4 months away. Balmorrow invites Nurlan and Mordik to perform anytime for a 15% of the nightly take.
Edgar Vossinger and Greybane the ranger meet the party at the inn soon after they arrive. Vossinger goes back over the agreement. The party is to pursue the Viscount Claudius Causticus, kill or capture him, his mother, and whomever else is involved in stirring up all this trouble against Monemvassia. For this, Nurlan, Mordik, Tenenbrynn, Ashnar, Eanos and Rinaldo are to become honorary knights of the city-state. Razhereit and Ogrin are to be awarded 500 gps. In order to receive the full award, evidence must be presented. Lack of clear evidence, or lack of complete success will receive only partial compensation. It might be worth here reproducing the text of the Viscount’s letter Rinaldo retrieved.
Quote:
Honorable mother.
My mission is going well. I have contacted the assassins here in Three Rings, and they have informed me that they have made their first hit, killing the admiral of the Monemvassian Navy, and the brother of the current so-called King. I have paid them some third of my immediate reserve and instructed them to continue to take down the leadership of that city as quickly as possible. I may need to return and acquire additional funds to complete the job. These assassins are good. Much more expensive than those incompetent goblins, but worth it. Who knows, we may well be able to reclaim the treasure we pay them, once Three Rings falls to our fire and steel. Frump’s deception is working perfectly, and the gnolls have been very compliant. Our day of redemption is fast approaching.
Your humble servant,
Claudius Causticus
Vossinger unfurls the map the party took from a dead gnoll a couple weeks before. It is a map of the jungles and swamp to the South of the village. Greybane has made some notes on it and discusses the landmarks listed. From the conversation, the party is reasonably confident they will be find the various areas marked. The most interesting place is labeled “Base.”

Ashnar, notified of the caravan's arrival, moves to greet the party.
"Ah, you have returned, and as I see, recruitment went very well. I am not sure how much my companions mentioned to you about me - I am Ashnar, a wizard of evocation and protection. Who do I have the honor to meet?"
He notably does not mention anything about his spell research.

Ogrin takes Tenebrynn up on the offer of a loan.
He is a bit cautious when approaching Ashnar. "Ogrin at your service. I'm the hired muscle, together with Rasereit over there. You don't deal in mind-warping magic, do you - charms and illusions, and such effects?" At a better time, Ogrin will recall his exploits to Ashnar.
Ogrin looks at the map."I have a little experience witrh swamps and jungles... we should pick up some antitoxins. There are many poisonous critters around. Also, look out for sinkholes; I nearly drowned in quicksand once and it is not an opportunity I care to try again. Everyone should have a walking stick and try the ground ahead of them. Fire is quite handy if we are swarmed by insects; either oil flasks or the alchemical variant."
OOC: KO, see tavern thread and background as I'm too lazy to write it once again.

Nurlan, you may notice, has upgraded quite a few things. His old longspear has been replaced by a much higher-quality one (masterwork), and the bow by a new one designed to take advantage of some strength (composite longbow). He also carries the masterwork scimitar the party picked up in the last battle. His leather armor is gone; he is now wearing a new mithril chain shirt. He has picked up a number of other things -- antitoxin ("Dealing with assassins, or with those who would be, I imagine it's a good thing to be prepared for") a tanglefoot bag, a potion of invisibility.
On the way, he has updated Ogrin and Rasereit in some detail on the party's exploits. (Feel free to read M1, M2, and (especially) the three M3 threads. M1 and M2 are also summarized in Volidar's Tales of ENworld; M3 will be in due time, but not yet.) He has also been keeping you all entertained with songs.
He is happy to see Balmorrow again, and pledges that he will be at the theatre, "when we've got a free evening".

Rinaldo is happy to see Abraham and happy to hear that he is doing a good work and like that. After the good reception, he join the group around the table.
"Good suggestions" replies the merchant to Ogrin. "But I,m not sure Three Ring have all you want. We might ask Abraham. The capital is at one day ride so we might not have the time to go back there, we have lost plenty of time on our way back here."
Rinaldo asks to Vossinger and Greybane. "Is any of you two will be coming with us too or we will be on our own to travel through the jungle?"
OOC
Just to make things clear: Who want to contribute for a new wand? Rinaldo is ready to put his 100 gp and also to lend 100 gp to anyone who want to contribute but doesn't have the money now.

Nurlan's already argued for potions instead of a second wand, but if the general consensus is for the wand, he'll contribute his share to the pool.

Eanos, human monk
At Ogrin's suggestion of walking sticks, Eanos smiles slightly. "I debated leaving my quarterstaff by the wayside given my new weapons, but it sounds like keeping it will come in handy in the terrain we'll be moving through. Good advice, Ogrin."
Eanos settles in to study the map, and as his companions begin to ask questions, adds one of his own:
"While we've been preparing for this mission, have your people been able to find out anything about this Viscount Causticus' point of origin, or whom 'Frump' might be?"
OOC
Eanos has no ranks in Know: Nobility & Royalty, or I'd try a check. Would Nurlan's Bardic Knowledge work in this case?
On the matter of the wand, Eanos will go with the majority. If we don't get a wand, though, he'll want to pick up an extra healing potion before we head out.

"I assure you that I do not - in fact, I am completely unable to cast them. Their arcane matrices... I'm sorry, I don't want to bore you with the unnecessary details." He listens to Ogrins tales of Varras'Zul and the Conclave with interest, and a bit of worry.
(OOC - Among others, Ashnar picked up 1 rank in Knowledge (nobility), for a total of +4.
Manzanita - given the research Ashnar has done, if the Spell Research and Animal Training proposal is approved in time, can I still add the two researched spells?)

Ogrin: Ready to tip but have no money.
Razh:
Rinaldo: Prefer the wand and ready to tip for himself and lend for another one.

Mordik would prefer to keep the self sufficiency of buying your own potions.

Tenebrynn is fine with the decision and chooses to purchase 4 potions of cure light wounds.

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian 3
Razh stops at an alchemist on the way out of the tavern to buy a few healing potions (1 CMW, 2 CLW). He is mostly silent on the caravan ride, only grunting occasionally when Ogrin would mention his name. He lets Ogrin introduce him. He's still rather drunk, and is experiencing a throbbing headache. Once he gets a full night's rest at the Three Rings, however, he's back to his normal self: gruff but grinning.
In the morning, he properly introduces himself to Ashnar. "How d'ye do, mate? Me name's Rasereit, last o' the Vundinn clan, the mightiest bunch o' dwarves t'ever grace the Underdark!"
He is willing to put money for both him and Ogrin (200gp) in the wand fund. "What good's a reward if ye're not alive t'spend it, eh? Oh, an' Ah got yer back, Ogrin, me friend. 'Tis only right. Ye don' need t'pay me back neither. Jus' dump some o' this down me throat if Ah fall over, alrigh'?" With a thick, meaty finger he taps one of the vials of healing potion strapped to his chest.
OOC:
Sorry I'm so late, I didn't even notice there was another thread. =P

To Ashnar: "Splendid! Just the type of mage I like! Just let me know when you intend to rain down fiendish fire upon our foes so I can get out of the way first."
To all: "Well... If we have the funds, I suggest we get both some potions and the wand. You can never get enough of the healers touch..."
Ogrins mind seem to wander after the last comment. Razh nudges him back to reality, correctly guessing which 'healers touch' made his thoughts muddy.
"Oh! Healing... yes. I'm certain someone will find the item valuable enough to take as his share of the loot afterwards. These kinds of items are in much demand among us adventurers."
OOC: We can probably sell a half-used wand at almost full price in the RDI traing post after the adventure if noone wants to keep it. Ogrin is prepared to chip in... with borrowed money from Tenebrynn, which he doesn't know as well as Razh ("Never borrow money from your friends"
)

"I too am no mind mage, though I do know a few charms. Nay, I specilize in divinations and I must say they came in handy during our investigation of the Assassin's Guild. I can throw evocations, but also engage in melee combat as well if need be. Here Ogrin, as we are not going to buy a wand, you will need a few potions just in case." he hands his new companion the 100gp he had offered to lend so that he can get potions.

Ogrin accepts the loan from Tenebrynn, but uses the money to buy two vials of Antitoxin, seeing as they are headed towards jungles, swamps and assassins. He feels well-stocked with potions already.
OOC: Let's get going, shall we?
Turning to Greybane, Ogrin asks: "Have you scouted the area nearby this 'base'? If so, what can you tell us about it?"

Rinaldo looks at the different landmark. "The base is our main target. most likely the Vicsount will be hiding there, leading his troup of Gnoll. I'm not sure we will find his mother there. If you remember, we have seen the Viscount coming back with mud on his boot, most likely he was heading there. If her mother was there, he would not have to write down a letter to her over that, so we will have to take the Viscount alive and make him talk."
"Ogrin suggestions are good. We should get some supply before leaving."
"For the wand, I think Nurlan's wand will be enough to recover after a major fight. We can handle two with the potions we have. I doubt we will need more than that for now. We are not going into war but into a raid. If we need more, I think we will be in deeper trouble."
OOC
Manz, what are the other landmarks? The base is really interesting and must likely to be our primary target, but if there is a training camp or anything that might give support to the main base, it might cause us trouble if we donT, find a way to get rid of them or at least hinder any reinforcement...

I've been pretty busy and haven't had time to look at the proposals. But yes, KO, you can take those spells when they are approved.
Greybane explains that several of the landmarks on the map are hills, particularly tall trees, and ancient ruins.
"We know there was once a great civilization which lived in this area, before the dragon came, even. For some reason they disapeared and now their cities have been overgrown by jungle." says Vossinger. "I suggest you avoid these ruins if possible, as they have proven quite dangerous in the past at times. Greybane won't be accompanying you. His expertise is needed near Monemvassia."
Feel free to ask more questions, but I'll get you all moving.
The party, having bought copious useful equipment, heads out into the jungle. They procede cautiously, and are rewarded for it. They encounter quicksand, clouds of mosquitos, strange noises, and the occational large snake. They pass by the remains of overgrownruined cities. They see large columns leaning over, carvings of huge eable faces on walls, damaged stone paved streets. Various adventure might await within these areas, but the party has more pressing business for now.
Eventually, they arrive at the 'base' as marked on the map. This proves to be a clear area next to a towering boulder. The area has clearly been used as a camp. Burnt wood litters firepits, various animal bones lay discarded nearby, footprints are scattered in the dust. But there is no sign of any living humanoids. A brief search reveals a tunnel heading into the sheer rock, poorly hidden by a pile of leafy branches.
Entering the tunnel, the party creates light (who & what?) and marches in. No traps are found. Refuse from gnolls is evident and fresh. The roughtly hewn tunnel curles and stretches some 100 feet before leading into a square room some 50 feet across, and 10 feet high. The room is dusty and dirty, and in the northwest corner are two 10' long by 2' wide strips of bark or hide-like material which smells like spoiled meat. Another 10 foot wide corridor leads out from the south of the room.

Upon getting to the darkness, Mordik doesnt even hesitate to continue, when the others stop to start lights, he waits for them impatiently as he watches into the darkness ahead for anything which may be in thier way.
Upon getting to the large room, he keeps to the walls, looking around and listening cautiously. He says nothing at the strips of what he could only imagine to be a large failed attempt at jerky, but the look of disgust on his face tells you all you need to know, and keeps far away from them, hoping the smell doesnt get on him.
Mordik will stay to the wall near the corridor to the south and peek around quickly and quietly, checking if anything is in sight down the corridor.

Tenebrynn provides light, casting it on the tip of his staff. He then follows behind the front line troups, pausing for a moment when it seems appropraite to do so to cast mage armor.

Supply
Rinaldo provide himself with an antitoxin, a potion of CLW and two sunrod. Also, Rinaldo's horse and equipement on the horse have been left at Abraham's Inn
"Calm down Mordik. No need to rush." says Rinaldo, seeing him eager to lead the group down. Rinaldo would have prefered to go first, having in head all the good advice of his cousin in head, but he thinks it was unwise to argue with the dwarf presently. The dangers doesn't seem impeding.
"They've left. No surprise with the time we took to come back here from Orussus. They must have left the days following the arrestation of Arness." Rinaldo looks at the room. He slowly approach the barkskin. "That must be the hole for the daily needs." Cautionly, Rinaldo will removes one to make sure he is not wrong before leading (or asking Mordik to lead?) the group into the corridor.

Mordiks head snaps back at Rinaldo - it's obvious he was wanting this to be silent... with a quiet rasp he adds: Ye can lead if ya like - Thought it'd be best I go first as I know what to look for wi' traps, I forgot ye might know the same.

Rinaldo replies to Mordik on a low tone so his voice doesn't carry more than what it need for Mordik to hear it. "I know my share of traps. Trick from my cousin, a smuggler. They seldom traps there cargo and lairs... but it's not my point. I want nothing dire to happen to you, or anyone else. But you've proven your worth more than once during the last time. Go on, take the lead. I'll shut my mouth from now."

With a nod towards Rinaldo, Mordik takes another brief look at the room, and looks around at the others, checking if they are ready to follow.
Ogrin carries shield and longsword (AC 20). He prefers to stand beside Razh, near at the front. He also has a knack for finding traps (search +6).
He has a coldflame torch (Continual flame torch) which he will lend to whoever is behind him, or have it sticking out of his backpack if noone seems interested in borrowing it.
OOC: General combat tactics (in case you need to NPC me) Unless it will put him in a very dangerous spot, Ogrin will try to flank opponents, tumbling through threatened squares to do so (DC15 to avoid AoO). It might be a good idea if the person behind him can hold his own for a few moments at least (ie some armour and armaments).

Eanos, human monk
equipment
FYI, per my last post, since we forewent the wand, I added another CLW potion to Eanos and subtracted the appropriate gold
Eanos holds his loaded sling lightly, casting about at the group's surroundings as they stop in the room. When Rinaldo and Mordik discuss who should act as scout, Eanos nods, whispering, "I have keen eyes and ears, but I have no special lightness of foot. Mordik's silence will likely prove more useful down here, and his eyes have the advantage of needing no light to be of use. If need be, I can also catch up to our front line a bit faster than others. It's probably best that I guard our back, then."
OOC
If we move two abreast, sharing rear guard with Rinaldo is cool with Eanos. He's used to working with him most of all the others, anyway. If they're needed for a secret check (or non-secret; feel free to roll for Eanos if it keeps things moving), Eanos' Spot and Listen are both +10. Move Silently is untrained (+2).

With his rapier bared, Mordik moves silently down the south hallway, keeping an eye to his surroundings and an ear to the hallway ahead.
intentions..
If Mordik sees any traps, he will motion for the others to stop before they get to him. If Mordik is aware of any strange noises or talking ahead, he will motion for the others to stop. If he is reasonably certain he is seen or heard, he will try to either back up behind the two fighters behind him or hide/step aside so the warriors can get up front, whichever is fastest.

Mordik moves ahead carefully, about 10 feet in front of Ogrin and Razh. The others follow. The corridor snakes around, and Mordik doens't know whether to be more annoyed with the poor stonework used to create it, or the lack of efficiency moving from point A to B.
Soon, he sees the passage end with a door up ahead. He continues towards it, when, about 40 feet from the door, suddenly he feels the floor drop out from beneath him. He waves his arms and tries to step back, but fails. For a moment he feels the sickly sensation of freefall...
Mordik:
Spoiler:
...then lands painfully 15 feet down with a thud in a pile of white grains (taking 6 pts dmg). He is in a narrow chute and immediately begins sliding down the steep incline. The white stuff is dirty salt. Unfortunately, Mordik realizes, as he slides, that he's dropped in rapier in the fall.
The rest of the party hears a click and sees Mordik suddenly drop out of sight. They don't see the door up ahead.

On seeing his friend fall, Nurlan cries out, "Mordik! Are you OK?" He continues moving ahead with the others, at the pace set by Razh and Ogrin.

"Damned!" says Rinaldo, seeing Mordik dissapearing in the ground. He approach cautionly the border and look down. "I can't see him, can someone bring light! And someone have ropes?"
OOC
Tomorrow night, I am leaving until April 18th. I'll be travelling in Ireland, so I dunnot know if I'll be able to post again during that time (I guess not). Manz, feel free to NPC him during the next week, and I hope to see him alive when I,ll be back Sweet vacation!

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian 3 (HP: 36/36, AC: 17)
Rasereit, with his dwarven darkvision, sees Mordik suddenly drop from sight. Suppressing an instinct to run forward, he proceeds cautiously over the next few paces until he reaches the edge of the pit. He looks down it to see how far Mordik fell.
OOC:
Rasereit's vitals: HP: (36/36), AC: 17
He is known for his dual-weapon whirlwind attacks, whipping both his dwarven waraxe (+5 attack, 1d10+3 damage) and his handaxe (+4 attack, 1d6+3 damage) into action simultaneously. There has hardly been a battle in his career when his opponent's skin was not tougher than usual (damage reduction, always damage reduction!) so he often resorts to wielding only his large waraxe with both hands (+7 attack, 1d10+4 damage). Sometimes, if the situation becomes desperate, Razh falls into a state of pure battlefury. With bloodshot eyes, he swings his dwarven waraxe with real power (during rage: +9 attack, 1d10+5 damage) behind it. He also has a crossbow (+5 attack, 1d8 damage) if he needs it.
All of his weapons (2 axes + a crossbow) and armor (breastplate) are masterwork. He carries 2 CLW + 1 CMW potions. He owns a light horse but uses it only for traveling, and he has left it at the last civilized place the party visited rather than take it to the 'base'.

Ogrin moves up ahead together with Razh. Looking down the hole, he quickly realises there's little he can do to help. If possible without too much acrobatics, he walks around the chute to the other side. He keeps an eye on the door, trying to listen if Mordik gets himself into further trouble.
"'I know what to look for wi' traps', he said...." Ogrin mutters to himself.

"He knows, and me too... no one can find them all..." replies Rinaldo to Ogrin. Rinaldo takes out his rod and look at Tenebrynn. "You have a rope, right?"

"Well, to be fair, he did find it..."
OOC: If there's no agonized screams, Ogrin will take out his rope in the next round. If there's trouble down there, Ogrin will jump down on Mordiks trail. A DC15 jump check allows you to negate 10ft of the height when jumping down.
OOC, OT
Spoiler:
My first 3ed character was a halfling rogue that almost always failed his search checks. He was lucky on his reflex and fort saves though. I think that during three years of playing, he located perhaps 10% of all traps before stepping into them, and those he usually set off by mistake while trying to disable them. It was a running gag in the game gang... "this might be trapped - toss in the halfling", only the halfling did it voluntarily.

"Mordik does have a penchant for finding trouble, now that I think about it," Eanos says as he moves to join the others near the trap. He keeps his sling out and loaded, watching to make sure no one comes from either direction in response to the party's struggle to retrieve their dwarven scout.

When he begins sliding, he's certain if there are enemies, they know of their arrival, and shouts out as he hits: Ouf! ow...err..Slidin'! Mordik will try to slow his sliding down the corridor by pushing against both walls if possible. If not, he'll scramble trying to catch hold on the wall, certain of a much more painful drop after the chute.

Ashnar becomes worried as Mordik suddenly drops from view. He moves along with Tenebrynn to see what happens.

I did allow Mordik a search check (DC 20) to find the trap. He failed this, as well as his reflex save, failed to hold onto his weapon, and took maximum damage from the fall. Oh well. At least his luck is bound to improve. I'm going to resist splitting the thread, for now anyway.
The group advances, but with some caution. By the time they reach the pit, the door has already sprung shut again. It's tricky, but in a few rounds, the group manages to pry it part way open. By the torchlight, the group can see a passage about 15 feet below, which slants down. The floor seems to covered by some sort of white dirt. Mordik isn't in view. Distant barking sounds can be heard from the tunnel below.
Mordik
Spoiler:
Mordik is unable to substantially slow his slide. The salt slips into his boots, his clothes and armor, his beard and eyes. He feels a strangely familiar sensation, as though the world is speeding up. It's like he's under Arness's slow spell again.
The slide ends in a dark room. He can see it is about 50 feet wide, but can't see a far wall. He can see 10 gnolls. They bark and yip. Several raise crossbows towards him. Running in any direction would bring him close to one of these humanoids.
Go ahead & strike the rapier off your CS. You'll never find it in that salt.

Eanos frowns at the noises.
"I don't suppose Mordik has a special affinity for dogs, does he? How's that rope coming along?"
OOC
I'm not sure if the dog barks lead to Ogrin jumping in, or if he was getting his rope out while others were prying at the trap door. In any case, Eanos will follow the others down (I'm assuming we're going after him, at least). Jump +9 to reduce falling damage if they can't make use of a rope to lower into the chute

Good doggies...Mordik will bring out his light mace to make sure he's armed, and go full defensive.... I can't do that when slowed... Mordik puts his hands in front of hisself defensively, picking a random gnoll to dodge from. He will shout up the chute: The white stuff makes ye slow like Arness' treachery! I got 10 gnolls to meself down here!

The situation suddenly seems more urgent to Nurlan. He pulls his silk rope out of his pack, saying, "Maybe two coils are better than one. Ogrin, Razh, you should be the first two to go down. Let us know whether to follow, or to pull you back up."

Additional actions if possible
If possible... Mordik will swipe a handful of the white sand/salt in both hands. The first gnoll to come towards him aggressively he will throw the sand in its eyes as hard as he can.

Is Ogrin (or anyone) jumping into the pit? Or are they being tied to rope first? If rope is being tied to someone, who is holding the other end? There is no obvious outcropping to tie it to. Retrieving rope is a move action. Tying a knot is a full round action. I should probably shift to combat time.
Surpirse round: Mordik falls into pit.
Round 1: Pcs move forward to pit; pit snaps shut.
Round 2 & 3: PCs pry pit open and wedge it with Nurlan's longspear.
Round 4: PCs gaze down to see what's inside.
I'll make the listen check for the party. a 14.
Listen check DC 5 - everyone hears mordik shouting something up the shart. Those (if anyone) with +6 mod to Listen checks can hear what he says.
Spoiler:
You can hear Mordik shout "The white stuff makes ye slow like Arness' treachery! I got 10 gnolls to meself down here! "
Rope could be prepared in rounds 2,3 & 4.
Mordik:
Spoiler:
round 1: Mordik slides 30 feet down shaft.
round 2: He slides 40 feet
Round 3: slides final 20 feet and sees gnolls. Is now slowed. Gnolls are surprised.
Round 4: Mordik shouts and grabs handfulls of salt. One gnoll shoots a crossbow bolt at him. It skims his arm (1 pt dmg). Another shouts at him in Gnoll, which sounds like yips and barks. Several others are pointing crossbows at him. Others grab greatswords. All wear scale mail and have their hair cut in the 'mohegan' style of the gnolls the party last fought in the swamp.

Meanwhile, down the chute...
Mordik will shake his head then talk quickly in common, then orcish, then goblin, hoping for a language they can understand: These are the only languages I speak.
Note: If any come close enough looking aggressive I still plan on flinging the sand in their eyes. I don't see that I could engage these in melee but may be able to stall a moment or two, or open up talks of some kind.

+10 Listen bonus here
Eanos groans, stowing his sling and bullet as he says, "We may want to forego the knot tying, fellows. Mordik's talent for trouble is at new heights. 10 gnolls on the other end of that chute, and he says the salt acts like that damnable spell Arness threw at us, the one that cut our speed in half."

I believe Rinaldo had his acrobat's rod out to use for securing the rope to, though I don't know if he still wants to use it, since it might get left behind that way.
Eanos is more than willing to jump down the shaft (Jump check +9 to reduce damage?), but he's inclinded to let the burlier fighters they brought on go first. However the party decides to try to get down the shaft, Eanos will follow as initiative allows.

I would think we'd use Nurlan's 10' pole for that purpose -- the longspear is too useful as a weapon.
Nurlan was about to tie the rope around him, but once he hears Eanos he decides on other priorities. He starts singing a song extolling the greatness of men who always rise to the occasion. (Inspire Courage, everyone gets +1 to attack, damage and morale.) He's prepared to jump in after this round.

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian 3 (HP: 36/36, AC: 17)
Razh strains his ears, trying to hear what Mordik is shouting. He can't. But when Eanos repeats them, Rasereit looks to Ogrin and says, "Ten he said? Meh, Ah kin take 'em. See ye later, mate!" And with that, he jumps down the chute.
OOC:
I don't know your policy on rolls, Manzanita, but I'll roll for myself in case it speeds things up. If I'm not supposed to roll, just ignore this:
Jump (untrained) (1d20+3=19)
Tumble (untrained) (1d20+2=5)
Rasereit will also try to use his dwarven intuit depth ability to determine how far they've fallen.

Tenebrynn will cast mage armor (if its not already, I think it is) then shield before following. He'll be one of the last if the front line folks are already down. Alternatively he'll hold the rope as he is quite strong for a wizard.

"Ten what? Oy, wait up Razh, leave some for me!" says Ogrin, dumping the rope (if he's managed to get it up from his backpack) and following right behind the dwarf before the pit door closes again. Ogrin will attempt tumble/jump checks to avoid damage.
OOC: Invisible castle doesn't answer right now... Manzanita, go ahead and make any checks needed.

Round 5 (essentially)
Ogrin, Razh and Eanos leap into the pit. Some combination of luck and skill prevent any from taking damage. They all land in the white dirt, which turns out to be mostly some weird smelling salt. They immediately begin sliding down the steeply inclined tunnel, picking up speed as they go. The light of Tenebrynn's staff quickly fades, leaving Eanos and Ogrin completely in the dark by the end of the round.
Actually - what about the coldflame torch? Will Ogrin use one hand to hold it? It looks like is was sticking out of his backpack before.
Tenebrynn and Ashnar cast mage armor on themselves. Nurlan begins singing. Rinaldo says "I'll guard the rear. The rest of you go! I'll follow last."
Do Nurlan Tenebrynn and Ashnar want to just jump in? Or do they wish to tie a rope to Rinaldo's rod?
Mordik
Spoiler:
The gnolls hear Mordik shouting up the tunnel, then trying to talk to them. All ready their crossbows. Two shoot at him again. One bolt hits for 6 pts, brining the hapless dwarf to 1 hp. Mordik is pretty much surrounded. Escape looks virtually impossible, though there is at least one passage leading out of the room.

Nurlan might have been inclined to jump, except that having a rope will make it much easier to get back up if we need to come back this way. So he'll tie the rope, all the while continuing his song.
Edit: see below if you'll allow the change of plan -- it isn't based on any new knowledge, so I hope you won't consider this post written in stone.

OOC: Ogrin secured the torch to his backpack some time before Mordik fell down the chute, I believe.
Ogrin will try not to tumble uncontrollably on the way down, hopefully avoiding the most obvious dangers. Seeing as he's up against ten of something, he'll use Combat Expertise to move his Base attack Bonus to a +2 dodge bonus to AC (new AC 22).
EDIT: Secured the torch to the backpack with the "burning" part visible, that is.

Unless Tenebrynn chooses to hold the rope, Ashnar follows whatever example Tenebrynn sets. If he does hold the rope, Ashnar will climb down on the rope.

Sorry, I misread Rinaldo's comments about going last. Since I assume Nurlan's listening comprehension is better than my reading comprehension can I amend that last action? I'd rather give the rope to Rinaldo, intending that he tie it before going down -- since Nurlan has a couple ranks in Jump, he'll chance the jump down, in order to get to the action a little quicker.

Tenebrynn will take the slow route, choosing to hold onto the rope as he drops into the shaft. Only however if someone is going to stay up there with the rod. If not he'll volunteer to stay behind.

Round 6
Despite his careful attempt to secure the coldflame torch to his pack, Ogrin is unnerved to find that he evidently didn't secure it well enough to survive a 15 foot tumbling fall into a steep salt slide. Seeing his vision fade, he cranes his neck and sees his torch torn from his pack and lying in the salt, above him and out of reach. He slides down into the darkness behind Razh. Eanos, behind him, could release a sai and try to grab the torch. (Reflex save DC 15 to succeed - sucess, but loses one Sai.) Mordik, going on full defensive, is able to dodge two more bolts.
Above, Rinaldo whips out his rod and sets it above the pit. Nurlan picks up the rope Ogrin dropped and ties it to the immovable object. Tenebrynn takes the opportunity to cast shield. Ashnar prepares to climb down after his elven friend.
Round 7:
Tenebrynn then lowers himself down, using both hands, glowing staff secured to his pack(?). Ashnar follows, with Nurlan waiting impatiently, and still singing.
Razh reaches the bottom of the slide, to this unwelcoming sight of 10 gnolls aiming crossbows at him. Eight readied bolts are released at the unfortunate dwarf. Three hit, two biting deeply into his flesh (one crit - 17 pts dmg total). Ogrin and Eanos slide in right behind him. Ogrin finds it odd that the gnolls seem to be moving exceptionally quickly. (Ogrin is under the effects of a slow spell, which Razh and Eanos resisted. Please review these effects.) Mordik, Ogrin, Razh and Eanos may now act in round 7. Except Mordik, all benefit from Nurlan's inspire courage.

Getting a little confused about what happened and what merely "might have" happened. I guess Nurlan never pulled his rope out, because he saw Ogrin get his out first and didn't see room for two simultaneous rope-descents. (I'm guessing that, because it wouldn't have made sense for him to pick up the other coil if he had his own out.) Also, his first thought was to hold and tie the rope for the others; by the time it occurred to him he'd do better to jump, he had already taken the time to secure the rope. So we'll go ahead with that...
Nurlan, having tied the rope, shimmies down it the following round.

Seeing the danger posed by the crossbows, Ogrin moves in between and almost past the gnolls to the left of him, hoping that the others will not have a clear shot at him.
OOC:
Spoiler:
Move Action: West and Northwest, assuming north is upwards on the map. Ogrin should not provoke attacks of opportunity as the Gnolls are armed with crossbows (unless they have natural weapons?) With some luck, the other archers should get -4 for Firing into melee and Ogrin gets +4 for soft cover. He'll continue with Combat expertise.
Net effect to AC: +2 combat expertise +1 Inspire Courage -1 Slow (possibly +4 soft cover) = +2 or +6
Net effect to Attack: -2 Combat Expertise -1 Slow +1 Inspire Courage = -2
NOTE: I also corrected a mistake, increasing the HP on my character sheet by 1 as I've always rounded down when leveling up.
OOC2: Ogrins rope, by the way, is 20ft long... I'll wager the drop+slide is considerably longer than that.

OOC: Eanos never drew his sai. He had a sling out earlier, but stowed that before jumping down. Does he still lose a sai reaching for the torch? From your wording I assume you already made the reflex roll. Thanks.
Eanos watches the coldflame torch come unraveled just below him. Twisting in the salty slide, he manages to catch it as he, himself, falls past.
At the bottom of the slide, however, he's not especially sure light is a comfort. Mordik seems much the worse for wear and the crowd of gnolls quite overwhelming. Hoping to provide the dwarf some cover, Eanos slips past both Ogrin and Mordik. He unleashes a flash of kicks at the gnoll just on the other side, even as he keeps one hand ready to turn aside more crossbow attacks.
actions
The last bit's just color to explain his Deflect Arrows feat.
Eanos moves through friendly squares (Ogrin, Mordik) to wind up in the square between Mordik and G1, then unarmed flurry attacks against the gnoll.
Attacks: natural 20; 13+3=16
Crit confirm: 3+3=6
Damage: 6+3=9;5+3=8

Round 7:
Razh moves forward to attack the nearest gnoll (G4), but can't connect. Ogrin (slowed) moves in between the gnolls to gain some flanking and shielding from archers. Mordik continues to bob and weave defensively. Eanos, moves past the dwarves and lays into a gnoll, breaking its neck with a sharp kick to the chin.
The gnolls to the west drop their crossbows and pick up or pull out great axes. The gnolls to the East reload their crossbows. (I'd meant to have them do this on their action but forgot to post it.)
Tenebrynn climbs down to the salt slide. The rope is not long enough for him to get further, so he then begins to slide down. Ashnar is able to drop in right behind him. Nurlan and Rinaldo wait on top for them to get clear.
Round 8
Three gnolls converge on Razh, one taking a flanking position. Great axes strike metal. One tears a great wound in the already bloodied dwarf (12 pts - bringing Razh to 7). Eanos and Ogrin are also attacked, but each is swift enough to dodge the whirling axes. One gnoll moves around and shoots a bolt at Ogrin, which skids off the stone floor near his feet.
The final three gnolls move down and shoot at the unengaged Mordik. It's getting dicey for poor Mordik so I'll make these rolls online: 18,3,16. None of the bolts find their target.
You're up!
Seeing one of the gnolls turning his back towards him while engaging Razh, Ogrin knows it is a target too good to avoid. He takes a 5ft step towards G3 and slashes him across the back, dealing 12 points of damage.

Girded for battle, Tenebrynn steps out of the chute and grabs his quarterstaff as he silently charges one of the gnolls off to the right.

Eanos, human monk
Eanos says nothing as his target falls, his eyes darting around the room in the flickering shadows the coldflame creates. After dodging the blow of the first gnoll's replacement, he lashes out again, though this time without much success. Even as he looks for the next inevitable blow and an opening in his foe's defenses, Eanos finds himself hoping the others join them sooner rather than later, and that they can resist the magical slowness that has gripped half of their current number.
OOC
I don't think that 11 hit, but just in case, I rolled damage: 3+3=6.

Mordik continues dodging to the best of his ability. I'm no use ta' ye men like this - I'm too slow! He adds with some frustration.

Rasereit Vundinn, 7/36 HP, AC: 17
The mighty dwarf Rasereit seems to have gotten himself in a bit of a pickle. Surrounded by gnolls, with three bolts sticking out of his torso, one of them deeply embedded in his chest, and a giant, bleeding gash in his side, he is starting to run out of options. This doesn't stop him, though. Now quite angry, he shouts, "Ye dogs! Ah might've spared yer lives, but now ye've really gone an' done yerselve's in!" Realizing his life is in danger, he lets out a great roar. His face turns beet red and his eyes almost seem to glow crimson. No longer capable of words, the bloody dwarf simply strikes out at his assailaints with enraged fervor.
Actions:
Rage Stats: 13/42 HP, AC: 15
Attacks: Two-weapon fighting - Waraxe (+8, 1d10+5) and handaxe (+7, 1d6+5)
He attacks the gnoll that just hit him with a critical.
Waraxe (attack and damage) (1d20+8=11, 1d10+5=9)
Handaxe (attack and damage) (1d20+7=12, 1d6+5=7)
Something tells me... he fails. I'll hope against hope.
And an errata: I was off by +1 on the attack rolls I posted earlier, I forgot to add the +1 masterwork bonus to attack. Maybe it's too late for round 7, but at least I caught it relatively early.
Oh yeah, and OUCH!!

Round 8 (con't)
Every dwarf has his day, perhaps, but this one belongs to neither Mordik nor Rasereit. The raging barbarian's axes hit only air. His halfling friend has better luck, and drops one of the dwarf's attackers with a stab in the back. Eanos's blow strikes only the sturdy haft of the gnoll's greataxe. Mordik stays on the defense.
Tenebrynn releases the rope and grips his staff as he slides down the chute. By the time he reaches the bottom, his staff will be ready for action. He and Ashnar will slide in round 8 & 9, & can act in round 10. Nurlan climbs down in round 8, and will slide rounds 9 & 10. Rinaldo unfreezes his rod and leaps in after Nurlan, landing only an instant after the bard has released the rope. They will slide arrive together at the bottom. All sliders must attempt a will save DC 16 to avoid being magically slowed. Rinaldo tumbles successfully and takes no damage from his leap.
Round 9
The gnolls continue their attacks as before. Two now swing their axes at Razh, one flanking. The dwarf is turning things around, now, and deflects both attacks.
Ogrin and Eanos are not so lucky and each take a serious blow from the large axes of their opponents (Ogrin takes 15; Eanos 10). Ogrin hears the clatter of a dropped crossbow as his other opponent appears behind him with greataxe raised. (but can't attack this round)
The final three gnolls fire again at Mordik. Mordik manages to escape death yet again as all three bolts fly over his head and into the darkness.

Rasereit Vundinn, 13/36 HP, AC: 15
Now little more than a red thing wearing armor and flailing axes, Razh barely notices when one of his opponents drops to the ground. Behind the felled gnoll, Razh sees through bloodshot eyes his halfling friend Ogrin, and behind him Razh sees another gnoll, raising his axe. Not about to let Ogrin get split in half, Razh whirls in next to him and slashes away with his fearsome blades. The waraxe gets its first taste of blood as its shining edge cleaves easily through the flesh of the dog-like creature. The handaxe follows up, almost unnecessarily, and finishes the job. Rasereit only grunts at his success. He spins around to threaten his other attackers, ready for more.
Actions:
2nd round of rage, 5 rounds left until fatigued.
5' step west (to G3's "resting" square), attack G2.
Waraxe (attack and damage) (1d20+8=20, 1d10+5=15)
Handaxe (attack and damage) (1d20+7=22, 1d6+5=10)
I'll assume that those 20's hit, for a total of 25 damage. Now that's what I'm talking about!

Nurlan, human bard 4 fighter 1, 27/27 HP
Nurlan manages to resist the slow effect. What he does next... need a better sense of the layout. If he pulls out the wand and taps the nearest heavily wounded colleague (Mordik? Rasereit?) how many gnolls would he have to expose himself to?

Ogrin, 12/27 HP
"Ugh!" The Gnolls axe connects, almost forcing Ogrin to his knees. He sees Razh fell another gnoll and casts a quick glance around him. If there's any possibility of an open flank within a 5ft step, he'll move there and attack when he sees an opening, otherwise he'll attempt to slash into the knee of his assailant.
Actions:
Attack roll: 20 (22 if flanking), Damage: 5 (8 if flanking)
OOC:
If I'm correct, we've downed G1, G2 and G3 in the precious rounds. Did one of the gnolls (G10) disappear down the left corridor?[/URL]

Eanos, human monk
Eanos hisses at the bite of the blade. Quality over quantity, he decides. Focusing his energies on a single blow, aiming for one of the nerve clusters he knows can cause paralysis, Eanos strikes out, hoping to harm his opponent and effectively disarm it with a single attack.
OOC
Link to attack roll (18) in the narration text above. If that hits, the gnoll takes 5 damage and has to make a DC 14 Fort save or be stunned until just before Eanos' initiative next round.

Gnoll count
I believe Eanos took out G1, but then G10 moved in to take its place (and its number), so all the gnolls that were there are still around to give us trouble.

Let me be a little more specific about my last post. If Nurlan can heal someone without taking more than 1 AoO, he will, and it'll be whoever seems to be worst hurt of all possible beneficiaries. If he'd have to subject himself to at least 2 AoOs, then instead he'll grab his longspear and attack the nearest gnoll.

Tenebrynn steps up to the group of gnolls with crossbows off to the right. He'll attack them once he gets there.

I think my post with Tenebrynn's save was eaten. I failed with a 6.

Yes, G10 moved into the space occupied by the slain G1. The size of the squares makes G10 look like G1. I may have to develop a different naming convention next time you face more than 9 opponents. You are not aware that any of the gnolls have fled. Thanks for the detailed stats, Erekose. Whatever detail you provide about your PC's combat stats is appreciated. Also, if you wish to include actions for more than one round, that could speed up combat.
Round 9 (con'T)
Razereit returns Ogrin's favor by striking down one of his opponents. The mighty dwarf's axes whirl, sending bloody chunks of gnoll in several directions (G2 killed). Ogrin is unable to conviently flank anyone, so he turns to the gnoll who moved up behind him and stabs him (G9 takes 5). Eanos strikes his opponent too, but neither gnoll is fazed. (5 pts to G10; save vs. stun successful) Mordik continues on the defensive.
Tenebrynn and Ashnar slide down and can act next round. Nurlan and Rinaldo are about 30 feet behind them.
Round 10
The gnolls attack visciously.http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410043. One of Mordik's opponents has dropped his crossbow and now attacks the rogue with his greataxe. The other two archers move back to cover the slide. Eanos, Mordik and Ogrin avoid any damage. Razh is hit. It is a brutal blow, but could have been worse, being barely deflected by his helmet. (Razh takes 11; now at 2)
Everyone can act in round 10 except Nurlan and Rinaldo. I probably have enough info to play out round 10, but I've run out of time for now....

Rasereit Vundinn, 2/36 HP, AC: 15
The blow to the head knocks some sense into Razh. He is clearly on the brink of consciousness, only the extra-hot blood pumping through his veins keeping him awake. Rather than spinning around and attacking again, he moves away a short distance. With his left hand, still gripping which has dropped his handaxe, he fumbles for the vial of healing potion strapped to his chest. Working it out as quickly as he can, he bites the tiny cork out and throws the liquid down his throat. His breathing grows somewhat easier as the cool stuff runs down his throat and spreads into his body. Some wounds close, the arrows withdraw from his chest, as though magnetically repelled. He tosses the vial aside and prepares himself for another onslaught.
Actions:
5' step to C9, to avoid any AoO's; standard action: drink CMW potion, 14 damage healed. Current HP: 16/36. He'll forgo his remaining move action.
3rd round of rage, 4 rounds left.
Rules Questions:
I'm pretty sure a 5' step is allowed to avoid AoO, right? If not, I may reconsider my options. And I suppose he has another move action? Or would drawing the vial and fumbling with his axes count for that?

Eanos, human monk
Though frustrated his nerve punch failed, the monk breathes in relief that he manages to avoid a second blow. He lashes out with a roundhouse kick, hoping to drop the gnoll before it has a chance to swing again.

Round 10 (con't)
Razh steps back(5 foot), dropping his hand axe(Free action). He then pulls out his potion (MEA) and drinks it (standard action). He needs to free up a hand to grab the potion, and I don't see how he could do that in one round w/o simply dropping a weapon. Ogrin strikes his opponent again with his hammer, this time bludgening him to the floor. Eanos likewise brings down his wounded opponent this round. Mordik stays on the defensive.
Reinforcements arrive in the form of Tenebrynn and Ashnar. Tenebrynn stands stiffly from his slide and swings his staff at Mordik's opponent. He's clearly slowed and misses. Ashnar comes out at full speed. His sparkstrike flits out to hit the center gnoll (G5), with streamers flying out at the other 4. All are slightly burned, but none appear badly hurt.
Round 11:
Two gnolls close with Ogrin and Razh. Axe's clash and Razh is unhurt, but the halfling is taken down by another mighty blow. (13 pts dmg - bringing Ogrin to -1) Tenebrynn's opponent turns from Mordik, steps back and strikes at the elf. The blow is mostly blocked, but the wicked edge of the blade still draws blood. (5 pts). The last two gnolls shoot their crossbows at Ashnar. Both his, though neither in vital areas (7 pts total)
Nurlan arrives at the bottom of the slide and is able to act. Rinaldo is right behind him.

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian 3 (16/42 HP, AC: 15)
With Ogrin down, the dwarf knows that it is now up to him to take down twice as many gnolls. He grins ferociously. Rather than pick up his dropped handaxe and open his newly healed flesh to axe blades from all directions, Razh simply grabs his waraxe with both hands and starts dealing doom.
Actions:
He'll stay where he is, and make an attack on any adjacent gnoll with previous damage (if none, he attacks the gnoll that took down Ogrin). He forgoes his move action.
Waraxe, two-handed (attack and damage) (1d20+8=27, 1d10+7=9)

(Assuming he can do this in a round -- not sure exactly where he is) Nurlan pulls out his wand, runs up to Ogrin and taps him with it, saying Lehishtako. Ogrin is healed for 7 HP

Round 10 (con't)
Razh drops his empty vial and goes back on the attack, killing his assailant, who had been recently burned by Ashnar's spell. Tenebrynn also hits, striking his opponet a sturdy blow with his staff. Ashnar extends his finger and unleashes a torrent of fire, enveloping one of the archers, and sending it staggering away to collapse in a heap of ash. Nurlan tries to move to Ogrin, dodging a blow from Tenebrynn's opponent, curing Ogrin and bringing the halfling back to consciousness. (Ogrin now at 6 hps) Rinlado moves out past Ashnar and around to flank the other archer.
Round 11:
Three gnolls still stand. One hits Razh a glancing blow. (4 pts). The other axe-weilder swings at Tenebrynn, who manages to duck. The third puts a bolt in Nurlan (4 pts dmg).
Razh and Tenebrynn then strike down their opponents. Ogrin and Nurlan charge the final archer and cut him down.
The party stands in the rough stoney room in silence. There are four 10 foot wide dark exits. There is a table, some chairs, some food remains and extra bolts. Each gnoll carries coins equivalent to 7 gps. One wears a golden necklace worth about 50 gps. This one also carries a scroll case. Inside is what appears to be a very thick piece of blank paper.

Could we have a quick HP summary so I can figure out who is urgently in need of healing?

With the wand, Nurlan taps, in succession, Razh three times, Eanos once, Ogrin twice, and Mordik once, each time saying, "Lehishtako!" Results: Razh healed 13 HP, Eanos healed 8 HP, Ogrin healed 11 HP, Mordik healed 3 HP.
One more time for each of Razh, Ogrin and Mordik: Razh gets 2 HP, Ogrin and Mordik each 4 HP.
Total now:
Nurlan 23/27 (You had a bolt hit him in the last round of combat)
Ashnar 22/29
Rinaldo full
Tenebrynn 19/24
Ogrin 21/26
Eanos 21/23
Mordik 8/14
Rasereit 21/36
The wand is now down to four charges. Nurlan is thinking, That was quick. Maybe the others were right -- we should have gotten a new wand as well as the potions.

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian (21/36 HP, 17 AC, fatigued)
When the tenth gnoll goes down, Razh simply stands in the center of the room, panting. His eyes slowly whiten, his flush-red face turns a pale color. He looks incredibly weak, compared to the beginning of the fight. Three arrows still protude from his torso, his shiny new helmet has a shiny new dent in it, and two long gashes in his side drip blood. He's still standing, but he looks about ready to fall over. He does not participate in the searching of the bodies.
Each time Nurlan's wand touches him, he looks progressively better, but Razh is disappointed when he hears that the healing device will soon expire. "What d'ye mean, ye're almost out o' charges? Ah can still stick four o' me fingers in this guy!" To prove his point, he brushes the axe-blade cut with his massive hand, wincing in pain as he does so. "Should'a bought tha' darn wand thinger, like they said they would. Ah told 'em, Ah'd rather lose me money now than me life later, Ah told 'em Ah did..." He mutters to himself, cleaning himself off as best he can.
After a short while, he doesn't seem as tired, but neither is he as vigorous as before. To Ogrin he says quietly, "Well, mate, that was another close 'un. Ah think Ah may need t'reconsider me tactics for the next fight."
As for the wealth found on the dead gnolls, Razh says gruffly, "Put me share in the healing wand fund, ye stingy blokes!" He continues muttering grumpily.

So...err, great job guys! Nearl'uh got me there. That was a good n hid trap, I'll tell ya! ...ahem... Mordik looks around somewhat sheepishly for a moment and then realizes he lost his rapier somewhere in this white stuff - He'll take a couple search checks to find it. Lost my weapon in there somewhere...

The rapier cannot be seen, and climbing back up the salty slide is nigh impossible. Soon enough, the slowing effect of the salt wears off.

OOC: I'll volunteer to keep a record of "party loot" on my character sheet if noone else wants to.
Ogrin looks at the number of bolts on the floor near Mordik. "I'd say you've earned the name 'Mordik Boltdodger'... but you still need to prove yourself before I call you 'Mordik Trapfinder', my friend. Does any of these have weapons you could use, or can anyone lend you one?"
The blank piece of paper catches Ogrins interest. The gnolls doesn't seem like a book-loving bunch and probably doesn't even know how to read or write. What would they need a piece of paper for?

"Well, it's hardly a standard occurance to find oneself literally falling into a pit of gnolls. You'll hopefully forgive our general optimism, then." Eanos counters with a wry smile, then turns and bows his head to the bard. "My thanks, Nurlan. Would that my training were advanced enough for me to heal my own wounds.
"And my thanks to you, Ogrin. Without your torch I'd have been useless down here in the dark" he says, handing the coldflame torch back to its owner.
As Mordik quests about for his rapier, Eanos reaches into his haversack, pulling his quarterstaff out of the magical space inside.
"If you have need of a weapon, Mordik, you're welcome to my quarterstaff. It's not of any exceptional make, but I'm afraid my other melee weapons would prove unweildy in the hands of one not trained for them."

Tenebrynn shakes off the effects of the magical latency, "Okay then, looks like our rope trick didn't work so well." He heads back over to the bottom of the shaft and shouts up to Rinaldo, "RINALDO, THE ROPE ISN'T LONG ENOUGH. WE'RE STUCK DOWN HERE."

Ashnar does his best to remove the arrows that hit him, then aids in the examination of the dead gnolls. "Curious, that blank piece of paper."

Rinaldo descended the salt slide as well. the whole group is now in the room. Rinaldo did, conveniently, arrive too to participate in the combat, so more XPs for the rest of you. The only weapons found are 10 greataxes, 10 light crossbows, and about 100 bolts. None of exceptional quality. There are four passages out of the room.

"Hope you brought your rod with you Rinaldo, I don't think we'll make it back up there for a bit. Any news on the paper, Ashnar? is it magical?" asks Tenebrynn.

As his fellow adventurers begin pulling large, and in one case, spiky, objects from their smallish haversacks, his eyes get wide. "Oi, eh... Where'd ye blokes get them... magicked bags... an' such?" He inches closer to Mordik. "Would ye... er, Ah mean t'say, would ye mind if Ah had a peek? Ye know, inside? It's just... Ah get a bit edgy when things come out o' nowhere, eh?" He glances nervously at the bag.

Actually, it's a mostly ignored ability specifically allowed for dwarven barbarians with red hair. =P It was colored text, so I assumed he said it aloud. I'm sure Razh would've complained when he wasn't fully healed, so he might've been told that way. Oh well, I don't think it hurts. I'll read more carefully next time.

He inches closer to Mordik. "Would ye... er, Ah mean t'say, would ye mind if Ah had a peek? Ye know, inside? It's just... Ah get a bit edgy when things come out o' nowhere, eh?" He glances nervously at the bag.
Err..yeah...Mordik will reluctantly show the opening for a moment and how the wanted item is always on top. He seems to like explaining it though: There'sis store near the Red Dragon Inn that sells a cu'pla items like it. They force more room inn'a bag with magic. Mordik's eyes twinkle as he emphasizes with his hands, as though pushing a big item into a small bag through sheer force. Makes the weight of it a lot less too....Haven't quite figgur'ed that bit out yet...but still quite useful fer us adventurin' types that like to bring it all wit' us, without stressin and dragginit behind.
Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian (21/36 HP, 17 AC)
Razh looks at the bag closely, picks it up, looks underneath. He sticks his whole arm in it, amazed when it fits with room to spare. "Tha's quite a handy haversack ye got there, mate." He backs away, slightly awed, but clearly less nervous. "Thank ye, Mordik. Jus' wanted to, ye know... Ah ne'er did trust that magic stuff s'much."

As Mordik produces his own weapon, Eanos nods and returns his quarterstaff to the haversack, then pulls out his sling again and loads it, listening for any noises that might be coming from the surrounding hallways in response to their less-than-subtle entrance.

Mordik notices Nurlan going silent and paying attention to the various exit(s) of the room. He stays silent for a moment and thinks about which way they should go.
He thinks again for a moment and adds:
hey...So whatsat paper the beasties dropped?
ooc exits
Initially I thought there was one exit other than the chute in the room - the battle grid showed differently. How many exits and in which directions?

Ashnar detects no magic, except for the a faint aura on the salt. Examining the paper seems to reveal nothing but what the party has already seen - a thick blank sheet of paper. There are four exits to the room, two to the North, and two to the West.

Nurlan has been thinking while the others were talking. Finally he speaks up. "I'd hoped we could leave the same way we came in, but it doesn't look like it [gesturing at the no-longer-hanging rope] so we'd better hope there's another way out. Let's explore all of these corridors carefully. If there is a direct exit from this level, it's likely to be concealed. And, we better hope there isn't another gnoll battalion waiting for us in the next room, because if they are they probably aren't any nicer than this bunch."

"It seems we can't continue in our former direction," Eanos says with a shrug as he looks about. "Shall we reverse it by heading North, or try one of the Westerly exits? I'm not sure any of them strike me as especially dangerous or inviting."

The party continues and discovers there is only one real way onward. The north passages form a loop back into the room with the salt slide, and the more southern of the western exits is a dead end. The last passage leads around in a loose semicircle, opening into a room from the west. The room is a rough -hewn natural cavern approximately octagonal in shape. This area is lit by a luminous fungus. The exact size of the room is hard to determine because of a number of large stalagmites and stalactites present. Directly opposite the entry, 110 feet away, is a door of iron banded wood.

Ogrin takes the lead this time, watching for traps or possible ambushes on their way towards the door. He stays clear of the main floor, instead hugging the walls.

"I'd think they'd have joined in on the battle if there were any." Before they leave the room. Ashnar looks if Razh's empty potion flask survived being thrown away well enough to hold something else. If it did, he takes a small sample of the salt.
After the group has scouted out the paths, Ashnar mumbles some things about gnoll architecture.

Didnt realize. I'm at 12/14 then.

Mordik follows behind the lead, not arguing. As they reach the room, he moves no farther than the entrance and looks about nervously as his eyes dart from stalagtite to stalagmite.

OOC: Never read when you're tired - I thought it was a 110 ft long corridor. I amend my actions with this:
Ogrin stays close to the walls while approaching the door.

Prior to leaving the main chamber, Tenebrynn empties out his belt pouch into his backpack and scoops some of the salt into it. Tying the bag loosely he tests the weight intending to use it as a makeshift ranged weapon.
Once they reach the large chamber, Tenebrynn holds his lit staff high and suggests, "Should we spread out a bit?"

So is the group going to edge around the room to the door on the far end? Is everyone going to go the same direction? Who's going first? Will the group go to the North or South?

Ogrin goes first, staying close to the northern wall. He carries a shield and torch this time, walking carefully towards the door.

Razh will follow about ten feet behind Ogrin, far enough back that he hopefully won't trigger any traps but close enough that he can rush in to help if he's needed. He has both his axes drawn.

Nurlan will follow the same path as the party's hired muscles, scanning the walls and floors as he goes for any strange features that might conceal traps or secret doors.

Mordik will follow behind Nurlan - he'd prefer not to be the farthest back.
The thread to date, as kindly recovered by Knight Otu. Warning: This is an extremely large piece of text, but can be used if you really need to find something that happened so far.
[sblock]
Adventure - M4: Under the Volcano [Nimisgod judging]
The party makes its way to the Eastern Edge of the city, where horses, wagons, guards and merchants gather to send caravans of passengers and cargo across the land. Nurlan and Erekose are able to locate their old acquaintance, Artemis Trent, a Monemvassian merchant who frequently makes runs to Orussus.
Displaying their golden badges, signifying their work for the crown, the group is quickly offered a place in the caravan, riding in a wagon or riding their own horses, whatever they prefer.
notes
Spoiler:
Feel free to discuss what the party knows of the path ahead of them. All players, post what your PC has been up to for the two to three weeks between the start of this adventure and the conclusion of the last.

On their way to the caravan station, Ogrin asks the group to wait a moment as he approaches a beggar sitting on a box. The two exchange words, then Ogrin hands over two full money pouches and a string of pearls. The beggar takes the bags, inspects the contents and puts them in his box. He picks up a few items from his box and hands them over to Ogrin, who returns to the group.
Spot, DC15:
Spoiler:
The box seem to contain potions, pastes and salves, as well as several small bags, likely full of money or other valuables.
Spot, DC20:
Spoiler:
A large half-orc sits in a nearby doorway, keeping an eye over the beggar and his trade.
OOC:
Spoiler:
Bought a potion of lesser restoration, a potion of cure moderate wounds and 2 potions of cure light wounds. Also had some potions since previous adventures.
Ogrin has not been adventuring for a few months, instead living a life of luxury in the Red Dragon Inn. He's also tried to find out more about Sinoithan (see background) and his whereabouts.

As the group meet outside, before Tenebrynn left for his shopping. "I'll need to pass too to my shop. I won't let Salvador go back there alone. By the same time, I can pass by the temple and take a wand of Healing. Nurlan. Your wand is almost exhausted, no? I think everyone should contribute to it as it will be use to heal everyone. It's will be only 100 gp each... and the 50 gp extra might be use to buy any futur expend on the expedition or be put back in the loot to be split again if we don't use it. Is it fine with everyone?"
The young Salvador pull on Rinaldo arms. "Can I come too?"
"No, you can't. Your mother will need your help with the tournement, so you,ll have to stay."
"I would rather come"
"You can't. And you'll miss the conjuration duel if you come."
"Boring" whispers Salvador to Nurlan

"Ehm...
While it sounds like a splendid plan, I currently find myself without the funds... I invested some money into different healing items just a few minutes ago. If anyone is interested in buying two of these fine potions," Ogrin indicates two potions of cure light wounds, "I'll happily help investing in such a wand."

(Since Ashnar is still in Monemvassia, he can't chip in, unfortunately, unless you want to assume that Rinaldo talked about that before going through the mirror)

"You can keep them for futur use and we can just put you in debt to us. When it will be time to split the loot and recieve the reward, you'll pay us back." suggests Rinaldo.
OOC
KO: We might have discuss it as we knew what we would have been facing. So I think if you agreed in that, you would have left the money to someone so he can buy it. Even if we didn,t knew at that time how many we would be, I think the 100gp would have been enough and if it would have cost more per person, we would have ask the difference once we meet back.

"I think potions are a good idea", says Nurlan. "Not everyone can use a wand -- I've learned how to use this one, and can use it to heal any of you when you get hurt, but if I'm seriously wounded and can't get to it could you treat me? I think potions make a better backup than a second wand. I'm sure glad Rinaldo had his potions last time."
Nurlan has been shopping for better armor, weapons, and some equipment. I haven't actually finished that -- figured he'd do it in between recruiting the new people and the actual departure -- so can we take that out of order? Or maybe he'll do the shopping once we get to Monemvassia.

"But you've been using a lot that wand since you've start to use it.... it was when... the moathouse I think you have it. Do you think there will be enough charges for what is coming. It seems more times goes, more we use it..." asks Rinaldo to Nurlan

"I think it's got about a third of its original energy left," the singer replies.

"A third... I think it would be wise to have second. I still have three potions with me and I might take an extra one one my way to the temple. That kind of investment is never lost, and we don't have any priest with us. But Nurlan's right, having a few potion each on themsleves would be good too. Nurlan will not be able to be everywhere at the same time."

Eanos, human monk
Eanos surveyed the street as he followed his companions out of the Inn. His time in meditation and solitary training the last few weeks had definitely been helpful; he felt more centered mentally and physically, and had realized during his daily practices that the newfound focus helped him move faster than before. He hoped the results of his intense solitude and training would help him prove useful in the upcoming mission.
As the group debates the wand, Eanos shrugs. "Seeing how helpful Rinaldo's potion was on our last mission, I've gotten one for myself, as well. I've made some purchases--" his gesture takes in the new kama and cloak most noticably--"but I still have the funds to contribute to a wand if that's what we decide. Nurlan does seem to have a point concerning the wand. Putting all of our potential healing in one spot leaves us open should Nurlan be too weak to use the wand--or if the wand is stolen again. I'll willingly contribute, however, if the rest of you feel it's an option we wish to take, especially as we couldn't find the more renewable healing that having a man of the gods might provide us."

Arriving in Three Rings
The party converges on Three Rings and take rooms in the Inn. Abraham no longer spends his days at the inn, but is generally there for supper. He seems to be enjoying his time as mayor and everyone says he’s much better than the last one. Room and board for the party is free, and people are very friendly. Priska seems to have lost or spent all his money, and is back on the begger circuit. Wilfong the gambler seems to have played a key role in separating the sucker from his money, and is soon on his way to another town. Wilbur and Holga have become engaged, and invite the party to their wedding, scheduled for 4 months away. Balmorrow invites Nurlan and Mordik to perform anytime for a 15% of the nightly take.
Edgar Vossinger and Greybane the ranger meet the party at the inn soon after they arrive. Vossinger goes back over the agreement. The party is to pursue the Viscount Claudius Causticus, kill or capture him, his mother, and whomever else is involved in stirring up all this trouble against Monemvassia. For this, Nurlan, Mordik, Tenenbrynn, Ashnar, Eanos and Rinaldo are to become honorary knights of the city-state. Razhereit and Ogrin are to be awarded 500 gps. In order to receive the full award, evidence must be presented. Lack of clear evidence, or lack of complete success will receive only partial compensation. It might be worth here reproducing the text of the Viscount’s letter Rinaldo retrieved.
Quote:
Honorable mother.
My mission is going well. I have contacted the assassins here in Three Rings, and they have informed me that they have made their first hit, killing the admiral of the Monemvassian Navy, and the brother of the current so-called King. I have paid them some third of my immediate reserve and instructed them to continue to take down the leadership of that city as quickly as possible. I may need to return and acquire additional funds to complete the job. These assassins are good. Much more expensive than those incompetent goblins, but worth it. Who knows, we may well be able to reclaim the treasure we pay them, once Three Rings falls to our fire and steel. Frump’s deception is working perfectly, and the gnolls have been very compliant. Our day of redemption is fast approaching.
Your humble servant,
Claudius Causticus
Vossinger unfurls the map the party took from a dead gnoll a couple weeks before. It is a map of the jungles and swamp to the South of the village. Greybane has made some notes on it and discusses the landmarks listed. From the conversation, the party is reasonably confident they will be find the various areas marked. The most interesting place is labeled “Base.”

Ashnar, notified of the caravan's arrival, moves to greet the party.
"Ah, you have returned, and as I see, recruitment went very well. I am not sure how much my companions mentioned to you about me - I am Ashnar, a wizard of evocation and protection. Who do I have the honor to meet?"
He notably does not mention anything about his spell research.

Ogrin takes Tenebrynn up on the offer of a loan.
He is a bit cautious when approaching Ashnar. "Ogrin at your service. I'm the hired muscle, together with Rasereit over there. You don't deal in mind-warping magic, do you - charms and illusions, and such effects?" At a better time, Ogrin will recall his exploits to Ashnar.
Ogrin looks at the map."I have a little experience witrh swamps and jungles... we should pick up some antitoxins. There are many poisonous critters around. Also, look out for sinkholes; I nearly drowned in quicksand once and it is not an opportunity I care to try again. Everyone should have a walking stick and try the ground ahead of them. Fire is quite handy if we are swarmed by insects; either oil flasks or the alchemical variant."
OOC: KO, see tavern thread and background as I'm too lazy to write it once again.

Nurlan, you may notice, has upgraded quite a few things. His old longspear has been replaced by a much higher-quality one (masterwork), and the bow by a new one designed to take advantage of some strength (composite longbow). He also carries the masterwork scimitar the party picked up in the last battle. His leather armor is gone; he is now wearing a new mithril chain shirt. He has picked up a number of other things -- antitoxin ("Dealing with assassins, or with those who would be, I imagine it's a good thing to be prepared for") a tanglefoot bag, a potion of invisibility.
On the way, he has updated Ogrin and Rasereit in some detail on the party's exploits. (Feel free to read M1, M2, and (especially) the three M3 threads. M1 and M2 are also summarized in Volidar's Tales of ENworld; M3 will be in due time, but not yet.) He has also been keeping you all entertained with songs.
He is happy to see Balmorrow again, and pledges that he will be at the theatre, "when we've got a free evening".

Rinaldo is happy to see Abraham and happy to hear that he is doing a good work and like that. After the good reception, he join the group around the table.
"Good suggestions" replies the merchant to Ogrin. "But I,m not sure Three Ring have all you want. We might ask Abraham. The capital is at one day ride so we might not have the time to go back there, we have lost plenty of time on our way back here."
Rinaldo asks to Vossinger and Greybane. "Is any of you two will be coming with us too or we will be on our own to travel through the jungle?"
OOC
Just to make things clear: Who want to contribute for a new wand? Rinaldo is ready to put his 100 gp and also to lend 100 gp to anyone who want to contribute but doesn't have the money now.

Nurlan's already argued for potions instead of a second wand, but if the general consensus is for the wand, he'll contribute his share to the pool.

Eanos, human monk
At Ogrin's suggestion of walking sticks, Eanos smiles slightly. "I debated leaving my quarterstaff by the wayside given my new weapons, but it sounds like keeping it will come in handy in the terrain we'll be moving through. Good advice, Ogrin."
Eanos settles in to study the map, and as his companions begin to ask questions, adds one of his own:
"While we've been preparing for this mission, have your people been able to find out anything about this Viscount Causticus' point of origin, or whom 'Frump' might be?"
OOC
Eanos has no ranks in Know: Nobility & Royalty, or I'd try a check. Would Nurlan's Bardic Knowledge work in this case?
On the matter of the wand, Eanos will go with the majority. If we don't get a wand, though, he'll want to pick up an extra healing potion before we head out.

"I assure you that I do not - in fact, I am completely unable to cast them. Their arcane matrices... I'm sorry, I don't want to bore you with the unnecessary details." He listens to Ogrins tales of Varras'Zul and the Conclave with interest, and a bit of worry.
(OOC - Among others, Ashnar picked up 1 rank in Knowledge (nobility), for a total of +4.
Manzanita - given the research Ashnar has done, if the Spell Research and Animal Training proposal is approved in time, can I still add the two researched spells?)

Ogrin: Ready to tip but have no money.
Razh:
Rinaldo: Prefer the wand and ready to tip for himself and lend for another one.

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian 3
Razh stops at an alchemist on the way out of the tavern to buy a few healing potions (1 CMW, 2 CLW). He is mostly silent on the caravan ride, only grunting occasionally when Ogrin would mention his name. He lets Ogrin introduce him. He's still rather drunk, and is experiencing a throbbing headache. Once he gets a full night's rest at the Three Rings, however, he's back to his normal self: gruff but grinning.
In the morning, he properly introduces himself to Ashnar. "How d'ye do, mate? Me name's Rasereit, last o' the Vundinn clan, the mightiest bunch o' dwarves t'ever grace the Underdark!"
He is willing to put money for both him and Ogrin (200gp) in the wand fund. "What good's a reward if ye're not alive t'spend it, eh? Oh, an' Ah got yer back, Ogrin, me friend. 'Tis only right. Ye don' need t'pay me back neither. Jus' dump some o' this down me throat if Ah fall over, alrigh'?" With a thick, meaty finger he taps one of the vials of healing potion strapped to his chest.
OOC:
Sorry I'm so late, I didn't even notice there was another thread. =P

To Ashnar: "Splendid! Just the type of mage I like! Just let me know when you intend to rain down fiendish fire upon our foes so I can get out of the way first."
To all: "Well... If we have the funds, I suggest we get both some potions and the wand. You can never get enough of the healers touch..."
Ogrins mind seem to wander after the last comment. Razh nudges him back to reality, correctly guessing which 'healers touch' made his thoughts muddy.
"Oh! Healing... yes. I'm certain someone will find the item valuable enough to take as his share of the loot afterwards. These kinds of items are in much demand among us adventurers."
OOC: We can probably sell a half-used wand at almost full price in the RDI traing post after the adventure if noone wants to keep it. Ogrin is prepared to chip in... with borrowed money from Tenebrynn, which he doesn't know as well as Razh ("Never borrow money from your friends"

"I too am no mind mage, though I do know a few charms. Nay, I specilize in divinations and I must say they came in handy during our investigation of the Assassin's Guild. I can throw evocations, but also engage in melee combat as well if need be. Here Ogrin, as we are not going to buy a wand, you will need a few potions just in case." he hands his new companion the 100gp he had offered to lend so that he can get potions.

Ogrin accepts the loan from Tenebrynn, but uses the money to buy two vials of Antitoxin, seeing as they are headed towards jungles, swamps and assassins. He feels well-stocked with potions already.
OOC: Let's get going, shall we?
Turning to Greybane, Ogrin asks: "Have you scouted the area nearby this 'base'? If so, what can you tell us about it?"

Rinaldo looks at the different landmark. "The base is our main target. most likely the Vicsount will be hiding there, leading his troup of Gnoll. I'm not sure we will find his mother there. If you remember, we have seen the Viscount coming back with mud on his boot, most likely he was heading there. If her mother was there, he would not have to write down a letter to her over that, so we will have to take the Viscount alive and make him talk."
"Ogrin suggestions are good. We should get some supply before leaving."
"For the wand, I think Nurlan's wand will be enough to recover after a major fight. We can handle two with the potions we have. I doubt we will need more than that for now. We are not going into war but into a raid. If we need more, I think we will be in deeper trouble."
OOC
Manz, what are the other landmarks? The base is really interesting and must likely to be our primary target, but if there is a training camp or anything that might give support to the main base, it might cause us trouble if we donT, find a way to get rid of them or at least hinder any reinforcement...

I've been pretty busy and haven't had time to look at the proposals. But yes, KO, you can take those spells when they are approved.
Greybane explains that several of the landmarks on the map are hills, particularly tall trees, and ancient ruins.
"We know there was once a great civilization which lived in this area, before the dragon came, even. For some reason they disapeared and now their cities have been overgrown by jungle." says Vossinger. "I suggest you avoid these ruins if possible, as they have proven quite dangerous in the past at times. Greybane won't be accompanying you. His expertise is needed near Monemvassia."
Feel free to ask more questions, but I'll get you all moving.
The party, having bought copious useful equipment, heads out into the jungle. They procede cautiously, and are rewarded for it. They encounter quicksand, clouds of mosquitos, strange noises, and the occational large snake. They pass by the remains of overgrownruined cities. They see large columns leaning over, carvings of huge eable faces on walls, damaged stone paved streets. Various adventure might await within these areas, but the party has more pressing business for now.
Eventually, they arrive at the 'base' as marked on the map. This proves to be a clear area next to a towering boulder. The area has clearly been used as a camp. Burnt wood litters firepits, various animal bones lay discarded nearby, footprints are scattered in the dust. But there is no sign of any living humanoids. A brief search reveals a tunnel heading into the sheer rock, poorly hidden by a pile of leafy branches.
Entering the tunnel, the party creates light (who & what?) and marches in. No traps are found. Refuse from gnolls is evident and fresh. The roughtly hewn tunnel curles and stretches some 100 feet before leading into a square room some 50 feet across, and 10 feet high. The room is dusty and dirty, and in the northwest corner are two 10' long by 2' wide strips of bark or hide-like material which smells like spoiled meat. Another 10 foot wide corridor leads out from the south of the room.

Upon getting to the darkness, Mordik doesnt even hesitate to continue, when the others stop to start lights, he waits for them impatiently as he watches into the darkness ahead for anything which may be in thier way.
Upon getting to the large room, he keeps to the walls, looking around and listening cautiously. He says nothing at the strips of what he could only imagine to be a large failed attempt at jerky, but the look of disgust on his face tells you all you need to know, and keeps far away from them, hoping the smell doesnt get on him.
Mordik will stay to the wall near the corridor to the south and peek around quickly and quietly, checking if anything is in sight down the corridor.

Tenebrynn provides light, casting it on the tip of his staff. He then follows behind the front line troups, pausing for a moment when it seems appropraite to do so to cast mage armor.

Supply
Rinaldo provide himself with an antitoxin, a potion of CLW and two sunrod. Also, Rinaldo's horse and equipement on the horse have been left at Abraham's Inn
"Calm down Mordik. No need to rush." says Rinaldo, seeing him eager to lead the group down. Rinaldo would have prefered to go first, having in head all the good advice of his cousin in head, but he thinks it was unwise to argue with the dwarf presently. The dangers doesn't seem impeding.
"They've left. No surprise with the time we took to come back here from Orussus. They must have left the days following the arrestation of Arness." Rinaldo looks at the room. He slowly approach the barkskin. "That must be the hole for the daily needs." Cautionly, Rinaldo will removes one to make sure he is not wrong before leading (or asking Mordik to lead?) the group into the corridor.

Mordiks head snaps back at Rinaldo - it's obvious he was wanting this to be silent... with a quiet rasp he adds: Ye can lead if ya like - Thought it'd be best I go first as I know what to look for wi' traps, I forgot ye might know the same.

Rinaldo replies to Mordik on a low tone so his voice doesn't carry more than what it need for Mordik to hear it. "I know my share of traps. Trick from my cousin, a smuggler. They seldom traps there cargo and lairs... but it's not my point. I want nothing dire to happen to you, or anyone else. But you've proven your worth more than once during the last time. Go on, take the lead. I'll shut my mouth from now."

With a nod towards Rinaldo, Mordik takes another brief look at the room, and looks around at the others, checking if they are ready to follow.
Ogrin carries shield and longsword (AC 20). He prefers to stand beside Razh, near at the front. He also has a knack for finding traps (search +6).
He has a coldflame torch (Continual flame torch) which he will lend to whoever is behind him, or have it sticking out of his backpack if noone seems interested in borrowing it.
OOC: General combat tactics (in case you need to NPC me) Unless it will put him in a very dangerous spot, Ogrin will try to flank opponents, tumbling through threatened squares to do so (DC15 to avoid AoO). It might be a good idea if the person behind him can hold his own for a few moments at least (ie some armour and armaments).

Eanos, human monk
equipment
FYI, per my last post, since we forewent the wand, I added another CLW potion to Eanos and subtracted the appropriate gold
Eanos holds his loaded sling lightly, casting about at the group's surroundings as they stop in the room. When Rinaldo and Mordik discuss who should act as scout, Eanos nods, whispering, "I have keen eyes and ears, but I have no special lightness of foot. Mordik's silence will likely prove more useful down here, and his eyes have the advantage of needing no light to be of use. If need be, I can also catch up to our front line a bit faster than others. It's probably best that I guard our back, then."
OOC
If we move two abreast, sharing rear guard with Rinaldo is cool with Eanos. He's used to working with him most of all the others, anyway. If they're needed for a secret check (or non-secret; feel free to roll for Eanos if it keeps things moving), Eanos' Spot and Listen are both +10. Move Silently is untrained (+2).

With his rapier bared, Mordik moves silently down the south hallway, keeping an eye to his surroundings and an ear to the hallway ahead.
intentions..
If Mordik sees any traps, he will motion for the others to stop before they get to him. If Mordik is aware of any strange noises or talking ahead, he will motion for the others to stop. If he is reasonably certain he is seen or heard, he will try to either back up behind the two fighters behind him or hide/step aside so the warriors can get up front, whichever is fastest.

Mordik moves ahead carefully, about 10 feet in front of Ogrin and Razh. The others follow. The corridor snakes around, and Mordik doens't know whether to be more annoyed with the poor stonework used to create it, or the lack of efficiency moving from point A to B.
Soon, he sees the passage end with a door up ahead. He continues towards it, when, about 40 feet from the door, suddenly he feels the floor drop out from beneath him. He waves his arms and tries to step back, but fails. For a moment he feels the sickly sensation of freefall...
Mordik:
Spoiler:
...then lands painfully 15 feet down with a thud in a pile of white grains (taking 6 pts dmg). He is in a narrow chute and immediately begins sliding down the steep incline. The white stuff is dirty salt. Unfortunately, Mordik realizes, as he slides, that he's dropped in rapier in the fall.
The rest of the party hears a click and sees Mordik suddenly drop out of sight. They don't see the door up ahead.

On seeing his friend fall, Nurlan cries out, "Mordik! Are you OK?" He continues moving ahead with the others, at the pace set by Razh and Ogrin.

"Damned!" says Rinaldo, seeing Mordik dissapearing in the ground. He approach cautionly the border and look down. "I can't see him, can someone bring light! And someone have ropes?"
OOC
Tomorrow night, I am leaving until April 18th. I'll be travelling in Ireland, so I dunnot know if I'll be able to post again during that time (I guess not). Manz, feel free to NPC him during the next week, and I hope to see him alive when I,ll be back Sweet vacation!

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian 3 (HP: 36/36, AC: 17)
Rasereit, with his dwarven darkvision, sees Mordik suddenly drop from sight. Suppressing an instinct to run forward, he proceeds cautiously over the next few paces until he reaches the edge of the pit. He looks down it to see how far Mordik fell.
OOC:
Rasereit's vitals: HP: (36/36), AC: 17
He is known for his dual-weapon whirlwind attacks, whipping both his dwarven waraxe (+5 attack, 1d10+3 damage) and his handaxe (+4 attack, 1d6+3 damage) into action simultaneously. There has hardly been a battle in his career when his opponent's skin was not tougher than usual (damage reduction, always damage reduction!) so he often resorts to wielding only his large waraxe with both hands (+7 attack, 1d10+4 damage). Sometimes, if the situation becomes desperate, Razh falls into a state of pure battlefury. With bloodshot eyes, he swings his dwarven waraxe with real power (during rage: +9 attack, 1d10+5 damage) behind it. He also has a crossbow (+5 attack, 1d8 damage) if he needs it.
All of his weapons (2 axes + a crossbow) and armor (breastplate) are masterwork. He carries 2 CLW + 1 CMW potions. He owns a light horse but uses it only for traveling, and he has left it at the last civilized place the party visited rather than take it to the 'base'.

Ogrin moves up ahead together with Razh. Looking down the hole, he quickly realises there's little he can do to help. If possible without too much acrobatics, he walks around the chute to the other side. He keeps an eye on the door, trying to listen if Mordik gets himself into further trouble.
"'I know what to look for wi' traps', he said...." Ogrin mutters to himself.

"He knows, and me too... no one can find them all..." replies Rinaldo to Ogrin. Rinaldo takes out his rod and look at Tenebrynn. "You have a rope, right?"

"Well, to be fair, he did find it..."
OOC: If there's no agonized screams, Ogrin will take out his rope in the next round. If there's trouble down there, Ogrin will jump down on Mordiks trail. A DC15 jump check allows you to negate 10ft of the height when jumping down.
OOC, OT
Spoiler:
My first 3ed character was a halfling rogue that almost always failed his search checks. He was lucky on his reflex and fort saves though. I think that during three years of playing, he located perhaps 10% of all traps before stepping into them, and those he usually set off by mistake while trying to disable them. It was a running gag in the game gang... "this might be trapped - toss in the halfling", only the halfling did it voluntarily.

Eanos, human monk
"Mordik does have a penchant for finding trouble, now that I think about it," Eanos says as he moves to join the others near the trap. He keeps his sling out and loaded, watching to make sure no one comes from either direction in response to the party's struggle to retrieve their dwarven scout.

When he begins sliding, he's certain if there are enemies, they know of their arrival, and shouts out as he hits: Ouf! ow...err..Slidin'! Mordik will try to slow his sliding down the corridor by pushing against both walls if possible. If not, he'll scramble trying to catch hold on the wall, certain of a much more painful drop after the chute.

Ashnar becomes worried as Mordik suddenly drops from view. He moves along with Tenebrynn to see what happens.

I did allow Mordik a search check (DC 20) to find the trap. He failed this, as well as his reflex save, failed to hold onto his weapon, and took maximum damage from the fall. Oh well. At least his luck is bound to improve. I'm going to resist splitting the thread, for now anyway.
The group advances, but with some caution. By the time they reach the pit, the door has already sprung shut again. It's tricky, but in a few rounds, the group manages to pry it part way open. By the torchlight, the group can see a passage about 15 feet below, which slants down. The floor seems to covered by some sort of white dirt. Mordik isn't in view. Distant barking sounds can be heard from the tunnel below.
Mordik
Spoiler:
Mordik is unable to substantially slow his slide. The salt slips into his boots, his clothes and armor, his beard and eyes. He feels a strangely familiar sensation, as though the world is speeding up. It's like he's under Arness's slow spell again.
The slide ends in a dark room. He can see it is about 50 feet wide, but can't see a far wall. He can see 10 gnolls. They bark and yip. Several raise crossbows towards him. Running in any direction would bring him close to one of these humanoids.
Go ahead & strike the rapier off your CS. You'll never find it in that salt.

Eanos frowns at the noises.
"I don't suppose Mordik has a special affinity for dogs, does he? How's that rope coming along?"
OOC
I'm not sure if the dog barks lead to Ogrin jumping in, or if he was getting his rope out while others were prying at the trap door. In any case, Eanos will follow the others down (I'm assuming we're going after him, at least). Jump +9 to reduce falling damage if they can't make use of a rope to lower into the chute

Good doggies...Mordik will bring out his light mace to make sure he's armed, and go full defensive.... I can't do that when slowed... Mordik puts his hands in front of hisself defensively, picking a random gnoll to dodge from. He will shout up the chute: The white stuff makes ye slow like Arness' treachery! I got 10 gnolls to meself down here!

I did allow Mordik a search check (DC 20) to find the trap. He failed this, as well as his reflex save, failed to hold onto his weapon, and took maximum damage from the fall. Oh well. At least his luck is bound to improve. I'm going to resist splitting the thread, for now anyway.
I figured. I've had pretty bad rolling luck lately. heh.
If you can hear me...

The situation suddenly seems more urgent to Nurlan. He pulls his silk rope out of his pack, saying, "Maybe two coils are better than one. Ogrin, Razh, you should be the first two to go down. Let us know whether to follow, or to pull you back up."

If possible... Mordik will swipe a handful of the white sand/salt in both hands. The first gnoll to come towards him aggressively he will throw the sand in its eyes as hard as he can.

Is Ogrin (or anyone) jumping into the pit? Or are they being tied to rope first? If rope is being tied to someone, who is holding the other end? There is no obvious outcropping to tie it to. Retrieving rope is a move action. Tying a knot is a full round action. I should probably shift to combat time.
Surpirse round: Mordik falls into pit.
Round 1: Pcs move forward to pit; pit snaps shut.
Round 2 & 3: PCs pry pit open and wedge it with Nurlan's longspear.
Round 4: PCs gaze down to see what's inside.
I'll make the listen check for the party. a 14.
Listen check DC 5 - everyone hears mordik shouting something up the shart. Those (if anyone) with +6 mod to Listen checks can hear what he says.
Spoiler:
You can hear Mordik shout "The white stuff makes ye slow like Arness' treachery! I got 10 gnolls to meself down here! "
Rope could be prepared in rounds 2,3 & 4.
Mordik:
Spoiler:
round 1: Mordik slides 30 feet down shaft.
round 2: He slides 40 feet
Round 3: slides final 20 feet and sees gnolls. Is now slowed. Gnolls are surprised.
Round 4: Mordik shouts and grabs handfulls of salt. One gnoll shoots a crossbow bolt at him. It skims his arm (1 pt dmg). Another shouts at him in Gnoll, which sounds like yips and barks. Several others are pointing crossbows at him. Others grab greatswords. All wear scale mail and have their hair cut in the 'mohegan' style of the gnolls the party last fought in the swamp.

Meanwhile, down the chute...
Mordik will shake his head then talk quickly in common, then orcish, then goblin, hoping for a language they can understand: These are the only languages I speak.
Note: If any come close enough looking aggressive I still plan on flinging the sand in their eyes. I don't see that I could engage these in melee but may be able to stall a moment or two, or open up talks of some kind.

+10 Listen bonus here
Eanos groans, stowing his sling and bullet as he says, "We may want to forego the knot tying, fellows. Mordik's talent for trouble is at new heights. 10 gnolls on the other end of that chute, and he says the salt acts like that damnable spell Arness threw at us, the one that cut our speed in half."

I believe Rinaldo had his acrobat's rod out to use for securing the rope to, though I don't know if he still wants to use it, since it might get left behind that way.
Eanos is more than willing to jump down the shaft (Jump check +9 to reduce damage?), but he's inclinded to let the burlier fighters they brought on go first. However the party decides to try to get down the shaft, Eanos will follow as initiative allows.

I would think we'd use Nurlan's 10' pole for that purpose -- the longspear is too useful as a weapon.
Nurlan was about to tie the rope around him, but once he hears Eanos he decides on other priorities. He starts singing a song extolling the greatness of men who always rise to the occasion. (Inspire Courage, everyone gets +1 to attack, damage and morale.) He's prepared to jump in after this round.

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian 3 (HP: 36/36, AC: 17)
Razh strains his ears, trying to hear what Mordik is shouting. He can't. But when Eanos repeats them, Rasereit looks to Ogrin and says, "Ten he said? Meh, Ah kin take 'em. See ye later, mate!" And with that, he jumps down the chute.
OOC:
I don't know your policy on rolls, Manzanita, but I'll roll for myself in case it speeds things up. If I'm not supposed to roll, just ignore this:
Jump (untrained) (1d20+3=19)
Tumble (untrained) (1d20+2=5)
Rasereit will also try to use his dwarven intuit depth ability to determine how far they've fallen.

Tenebrynn will cast mage armor (if its not already, I think it is) then shield before following. He'll be one of the last if the front line folks are already down. Alternatively he'll hold the rope as he is quite strong for a wizard.

"Ten what? Oy, wait up Razh, leave some for me!" says Ogrin, dumping the rope (if he's managed to get it up from his backpack) and following right behind the dwarf before the pit door closes again. Ogrin will attempt tumble/jump checks to avoid damage.
OOC: Invisible castle doesn't answer right now... Manzanita, go ahead and make any checks needed.

Round 5 (essentially)
Ogrin, Razh and Eanos leap into the pit. Some combination of luck and skill prevent any from taking damage. They all land in the white dirt, which turns out to be mostly some weird smelling salt. They immediately begin sliding down the steeply inclined tunnel, picking up speed as they go. The light of Tenebrynn's staff quickly fades, leaving Eanos and Ogrin completely in the dark by the end of the round.
Actually - what about the coldflame torch? Will Ogrin use one hand to hold it? It looks like is was sticking out of his backpack before.
Tenebrynn and Ashnar cast mage armor on themselves. Nurlan begins singing. Rinaldo says "I'll guard the rear. The rest of you go! I'll follow last."
Do Nurlan Tenebrynn and Ashnar want to just jump in? Or do they wish to tie a rope to Rinaldo's rod?
Mordik
Spoiler:
The gnolls hear Mordik shouting up the tunnel, then trying to talk to them. All ready their crossbows. Two shoot at him again. One bolt hits for 6 pts, brining the hapless dwarf to 1 hp. Mordik is pretty much surrounded. Escape looks virtually impossible, though there is at least one passage leading out of the room.

Nurlan might have been inclined to jump, except that having a rope will make it much easier to get back up if we need to come back this way. So he'll tie the rope, all the while continuing his song.
Edit: see below if you'll allow the change of plan -- it isn't based on any new knowledge, so I hope you won't consider this post written in stone.

OOC: Ogrin secured the torch to his backpack some time before Mordik fell down the chute, I believe.
Ogrin will try not to tumble uncontrollably on the way down, hopefully avoiding the most obvious dangers. Seeing as he's up against ten of something, he'll use Combat Expertise to move his Base attack Bonus to a +2 dodge bonus to AC (new AC 22).
EDIT: Secured the torch to the backpack with the "burning" part visible, that is.

Unless Tenebrynn chooses to hold the rope, Ashnar follows whatever example Tenebrynn sets. If he does hold the rope, Ashnar will climb down on the rope.

Sorry, I misread Rinaldo's comments about going last. Since I assume Nurlan's listening comprehension is better than my reading comprehension can I amend that last action? I'd rather give the rope to Rinaldo, intending that he tie it before going down -- since Nurlan has a couple ranks in Jump, he'll chance the jump down, in order to get to the action a little quicker.

Tenebrynn will take the slow route, choosing to hold onto the rope as he drops into the shaft. Only however if someone is going to stay up there with the rod. If not he'll volunteer to stay behind.

Round 6
Despite his careful attempt to secure the coldflame torch to his pack, Ogrin is unnerved to find that he evidently didn't secure it well enough to survive a 15 foot tumbling fall into a steep salt slide. Seeing his vision fade, he cranes his neck and sees his torch torn from his pack and lying in the salt, above him and out of reach. He slides down into the darkness behind Razh. Eanos, behind him, could release a sai and try to grab the torch. (Reflex save DC 15 to succeed - sucess, but loses one Sai.) Mordik, going on full defensive, is able to dodge two more bolts.
Above, Rinaldo whips out his rod and sets it above the pit. Nurlan picks up the rope Ogrin dropped and ties it to the immovable object. Tenebrynn takes the opportunity to cast shield. Ashnar prepares to climb down after his elven friend.
Round 7:
Tenebrynn then lowers himself down, using both hands, glowing staff secured to his pack(?). Ashnar follows, with Nurlan waiting impatiently, and still singing.
Razh reaches the bottom of the slide, to this unwelcoming sight of 10 gnolls aiming crossbows at him. Eight readied bolts are released at the unfortunate dwarf. Three hit, two biting deeply into his flesh (one crit - 17 pts dmg total). Ogrin and Eanos slide in right behind him. Ogrin finds it odd that the gnolls seem to be moving exceptionally quickly. (Ogrin is under the effects of a slow spell, which Razh and Eanos resisted. Please review these effects.) Mordik, Ogrin, Razh and Eanos may now act in round 7. Except Mordik, all benefit from Nurlan's inspire courage.

Getting a little confused about what happened and what merely "might have" happened. I guess Nurlan never pulled his rope out, because he saw Ogrin get his out first and didn't see room for two simultaneous rope-descents. (I'm guessing that, because it wouldn't have made sense for him to pick up the other coil if he had his own out.) Also, his first thought was to hold and tie the rope for the others; by the time it occurred to him he'd do better to jump, he had already taken the time to secure the rope. So we'll go ahead with that...
Nurlan, having tied the rope, shimmies down it the following round.

Seeing the danger posed by the crossbows, Ogrin moves in between and almost past the gnolls to the left of him, hoping that the others will not have a clear shot at him.
OOC:
Spoiler:
Move Action: West and Northwest, assuming north is upwards on the map. Ogrin should not provoke attacks of opportunity as the Gnolls are armed with crossbows (unless they have natural weapons?) With some luck, the other archers should get -4 for Firing into melee and Ogrin gets +4 for soft cover. He'll continue with Combat expertise.
Net effect to AC: +2 combat expertise +1 Inspire Courage -1 Slow (possibly +4 soft cover) = +2 or +6
Net effect to Attack: -2 Combat Expertise -1 Slow +1 Inspire Courage = -2
NOTE: I also corrected a mistake, increasing the HP on my character sheet by 1 as I've always rounded down when leveling up.
OOC2: Ogrins rope, by the way, is 20ft long... I'll wager the drop+slide is considerably longer than that.

Eanos watches the coldflame torch come unraveled just below him. Twisting in the salty slide, he manages to catch it as he, himself, falls past.
At the bottom of the slide, however, he's not especially sure light is a comfort. Mordik seems much the worse for wear and the crowd of gnolls quite overwhelming. Hoping to provide the dwarf some cover, Eanos slips past both Ogrin and Mordik. He unleashes a flash of kicks at the gnoll just on the other side, even as he keeps one hand ready to turn aside more crossbow attacks.
actions
The last bit's just color to explain his Deflect Arrows feat.
Eanos moves through friendly squares (Ogrin, Mordik) to wind up in the square between Mordik and G1, then unarmed flurry attacks against the gnoll.
Attacks: natural 20; 13+3=16
Crit confirm: 3+3=6
Damage: 6+3=9;5+3=8

Round 7:
Razh moves forward to attack the nearest gnoll (G4), but can't connect. Ogrin (slowed) moves in between the gnolls to gain some flanking and shielding from archers. Mordik continues to bob and weave defensively. Eanos, moves past the dwarves and lays into a gnoll, breaking its neck with a sharp kick to the chin.
The gnolls to the west drop their crossbows and pick up or pull out great axes. The gnolls to the East reload their crossbows. (I'd meant to have them do this on their action but forgot to post it.)
Tenebrynn climbs down to the salt slide. The rope is not long enough for him to get further, so he then begins to slide down. Ashnar is able to drop in right behind him. Nurlan and Rinaldo wait on top for them to get clear.
Round 8
Three gnolls converge on Razh, one taking a flanking position. Great axes strike metal. One tears a great wound in the already bloodied dwarf (12 pts - bringing Razh to 7). Eanos and Ogrin are also attacked, but each is swift enough to dodge the whirling axes. One gnoll moves around and shoots a bolt at Ogrin, which skids off the stone floor near his feet.
The final three gnolls move down and shoot at the unengaged Mordik. It's getting dicey for poor Mordik so I'll make these rolls online: 18,3,16. None of the bolts find their target.
You're up!
Seeing one of the gnolls turning his back towards him while engaging Razh, Ogrin knows it is a target too good to avoid. He takes a 5ft step towards G3 and slashes him across the back, dealing 12 points of damage.

Girded for battle, Tenebrynn steps out of the chute and grabs his quarterstaff as he silently charges one of the gnolls off to the right.

Eanos, human monk
Eanos says nothing as his target falls, his eyes darting around the room in the flickering shadows the coldflame creates. After dodging the blow of the first gnoll's replacement, he lashes out again, though this time without much success. Even as he looks for the next inevitable blow and an opening in his foe's defenses, Eanos finds himself hoping the others join them sooner rather than later, and that they can resist the magical slowness that has gripped half of their current number.
OOC
I don't think that 11 hit, but just in case, I rolled damage: 3+3=6.

Mordik continues dodging to the best of his ability. I'm no use ta' ye men like this - I'm too slow! He adds with some frustration.

Rasereit Vundinn, 7/36 HP, AC: 17
The mighty dwarf Rasereit seems to have gotten himself in a bit of a pickle. Surrounded by gnolls, with three bolts sticking out of his torso, one of them deeply embedded in his chest, and a giant, bleeding gash in his side, he is starting to run out of options. This doesn't stop him, though. Now quite angry, he shouts, "Ye dogs! Ah might've spared yer lives, but now ye've really gone an' done yerselve's in!" Realizing his life is in danger, he lets out a great roar. His face turns beet red and his eyes almost seem to glow crimson. No longer capable of words, the bloody dwarf simply strikes out at his assailaints with enraged fervor.
Actions:
Rage Stats: 13/42 HP, AC: 15
Attacks: Two-weapon fighting - Waraxe (+8, 1d10+5) and handaxe (+7, 1d6+5)
He attacks the gnoll that just hit him with a critical.
Waraxe (attack and damage) (1d20+8=11, 1d10+5=9)
Handaxe (attack and damage) (1d20+7=12, 1d6+5=7)
Something tells me... he fails. I'll hope against hope.
And an errata: I was off by +1 on the attack rolls I posted earlier, I forgot to add the +1 masterwork bonus to attack. Maybe it's too late for round 7, but at least I caught it relatively early.
Oh yeah, and OUCH!!

Round 8 (con't)
Every dwarf has his day, perhaps, but this one belongs to neither Mordik nor Rasereit. The raging barbarian's axes hit only air. His halfling friend has better luck, and drops one of the dwarf's attackers with a stab in the back. Eanos's blow strikes only the sturdy haft of the gnoll's greataxe. Mordik stays on the defense.
Tenebrynn releases the rope and grips his staff as he slides down the chute. By the time he reaches the bottom, his staff will be ready for action. He and Ashnar will slide in round 8 & 9, & can act in round 10. Nurlan climbs down in round 8, and will slide rounds 9 & 10. Rinaldo unfreezes his rod and leaps in after Nurlan, landing only an instant after the bard has released the rope. They will slide arrive together at the bottom. All sliders must attempt a will save DC 16 to avoid being magically slowed. Rinaldo tumbles successfully and takes no damage from his leap.
Round 9
The gnolls continue their attacks as before. Two now swing their axes at Razh, one flanking. The dwarf is turning things around, now, and deflects both attacks.
Ogrin and Eanos are not so lucky and each take a serious blow from the large axes of their opponents (Ogrin takes 15; Eanos 10). Ogrin hears the clatter of a dropped crossbow as his other opponent appears behind him with greataxe raised. (but can't attack this round)
The final three gnolls fire again at Mordik. Mordik manages to escape death yet again as all three bolts fly over his head and into the darkness.

Rasereit Vundinn, 13/36 HP, AC: 15
Now little more than a red thing wearing armor and flailing axes, Razh barely notices when one of his opponents drops to the ground. Behind the felled gnoll, Razh sees through bloodshot eyes his halfling friend Ogrin, and behind him Razh sees another gnoll, raising his axe. Not about to let Ogrin get split in half, Razh whirls in next to him and slashes away with his fearsome blades. The waraxe gets its first taste of blood as its shining edge cleaves easily through the flesh of the dog-like creature. The handaxe follows up, almost unnecessarily, and finishes the job. Rasereit only grunts at his success. He spins around to threaten his other attackers, ready for more.
Actions:
2nd round of rage, 5 rounds left until fatigued.
5' step west (to G3's "resting" square), attack G2.
Waraxe (attack and damage) (1d20+8=20, 1d10+5=15)
Handaxe (attack and damage) (1d20+7=22, 1d6+5=10)
I'll assume that those 20's hit, for a total of 25 damage. Now that's what I'm talking about!

Nurlan, human bard 4 fighter 1, 27/27 HP
Nurlan manages to resist the slow effect. What he does next... need a better sense of the layout. If he pulls out the wand and taps the nearest heavily wounded colleague (Mordik? Rasereit?) how many gnolls would he have to expose himself to?

Ogrin, 12/27 HP
"Ugh!" The Gnolls axe connects, almost forcing Ogrin to his knees. He sees Razh fell another gnoll and casts a quick glance around him. If there's any possibility of an open flank within a 5ft step, he'll move there and attack when he sees an opening, otherwise he'll attempt to slash into the knee of his assailant.
Actions:
Attack roll: 20 (22 if flanking), Damage: 5 (8 if flanking)
OOC:
If I'm correct, we've downed G1, G2 and G3 in the precious rounds. Did one of the gnolls (G10) disappear down the left corridor?[/URL]

Eanos, human monk
Eanos hisses at the bite of the blade. Quality over quantity, he decides. Focusing his energies on a single blow, aiming for one of the nerve clusters he knows can cause paralysis, Eanos strikes out, hoping to harm his opponent and effectively disarm it with a single attack.
OOC
Link to attack roll (18) in the narration text above. If that hits, the gnoll takes 5 damage and has to make a DC 14 Fort save or be stunned until just before Eanos' initiative next round.

Gnoll count
I believe Eanos took out G1, but then G10 moved in to take its place (and its number), so all the gnolls that were there are still around to give us trouble.

Let me be a little more specific about my last post. If Nurlan can heal someone without taking more than 1 AoO, he will, and it'll be whoever seems to be worst hurt of all possible beneficiaries. If he'd have to subject himself to at least 2 AoOs, then instead he'll grab his longspear and attack the nearest gnoll.

Yes, G10 moved into the space occupied by the slain G1. The size of the squares makes G10 look like G1. I may have to develop a different naming convention next time you face more than 9 opponents. You are not aware that any of the gnolls have fled. Thanks for the detailed stats, Erekose. Whatever detail you provide about your PC's combat stats is appreciated. Also, if you wish to include actions for more than one round, that could speed up combat.
Round 9 (con'T)
Razereit returns Ogrin's favor by striking down one of his opponents. The mighty dwarf's axes whirl, sending bloody chunks of gnoll in several directions (G2 killed). Ogrin is unable to conviently flank anyone, so he turns to the gnoll who moved up behind him and stabs him (G9 takes 5). Eanos strikes his opponent too, but neither gnoll is fazed. (5 pts to G10; save vs. stun successful) Mordik continues on the defensive.
Tenebrynn and Ashnar slide down and can act next round. Nurlan and Rinaldo are about 30 feet behind them.
Round 10
The gnolls attack visciously.http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410043. One of Mordik's opponents has dropped his crossbow and now attacks the rogue with his greataxe. The other two archers move back to cover the slide. Eanos, Mordik and Ogrin avoid any damage. Razh is hit. It is a brutal blow, but could have been worse, being barely deflected by his helmet. (Razh takes 11; now at 2)
Everyone can act in round 10 except Nurlan and Rinaldo. I probably have enough info to play out round 10, but I've run out of time for now....

Rasereit Vundinn, 2/36 HP, AC: 15
The blow to the head knocks some sense into Razh. He is clearly on the brink of consciousness, only the extra-hot blood pumping through his veins keeping him awake. Rather than spinning around and attacking again, he moves away a short distance. With his left hand, still gripping which has dropped his handaxe, he fumbles for the vial of healing potion strapped to his chest. Working it out as quickly as he can, he bites the tiny cork out and throws the liquid down his throat. His breathing grows somewhat easier as the cool stuff runs down his throat and spreads into his body. Some wounds close, the arrows withdraw from his chest, as though magnetically repelled. He tosses the vial aside and prepares himself for another onslaught.
Actions:
5' step to C9, to avoid any AoO's; standard action: drink CMW potion, 14 damage healed. Current HP: 16/36. He'll forgo his remaining move action.
3rd round of rage, 4 rounds left.
Rules Questions:
I'm pretty sure a 5' step is allowed to avoid AoO, right? If not, I may reconsider my options. And I suppose he has another move action? Or would drawing the vial and fumbling with his axes count for that?

Though frustrated his nerve punch failed, the monk breathes in relief that he manages to avoid a second blow. He lashes out with a roundhouse kick, hoping to drop the gnoll before it has a chance to swing again.

Round 10 (con't)
Razh steps back(5 foot), dropping his hand axe(Free action). He then pulls out his potion (MEA) and drinks it (standard action). He needs to free up a hand to grab the potion, and I don't see how he could do that in one round w/o simply dropping a weapon. Ogrin strikes his opponent again with his hammer, this time bludgening him to the floor. Eanos likewise brings down his wounded opponent this round. Mordik stays on the defensive.
Reinforcements arrive in the form of Tenebrynn and Ashnar. Tenebrynn stands stiffly from his slide and swings his staff at Mordik's opponent. He's clearly slowed and misses. Ashnar comes out at full speed. His sparkstrike flits out to hit the center gnoll (G5), with streamers flying out at the other 4. All are slightly burned, but none appear badly hurt.
Round 11:
Two gnolls close with Ogrin and Razh. Axe's clash and Razh is unhurt, but the halfling is taken down by another mighty blow. (13 pts dmg - bringing Ogrin to -1) Tenebrynn's opponent turns from Mordik, steps back and strikes at the elf. The blow is mostly blocked, but the wicked edge of the blade still draws blood. (5 pts). The last two gnolls shoot their crossbows at Ashnar. Both his, though neither in vital areas (7 pts total)
Nurlan arrives at the bottom of the slide and is able to act. Rinaldo is right behind him.

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian 3 (16/42 HP, AC: 15)
With Ogrin down, the dwarf knows that it is now up to him to take down twice as many gnolls. He grins ferociously. Rather than pick up his dropped handaxe and open his newly healed flesh to axe blades from all directions, Razh simply grabs his waraxe with both hands and starts dealing doom.
Actions:
He'll stay where he is, and make an attack on any adjacent gnoll with previous damage (if none, he attacks the gnoll that took down Ogrin). He forgoes his move action.
Waraxe, two-handed (attack and damage) (1d20+8=27, 1d10+7=9)

(Assuming he can do this in a round -- not sure exactly where he is) Nurlan pulls out his wand, runs up to Ogrin and taps him with it, saying Lehishtako. Ogrin is healed for 7 HP

Ashnar looks disdainfully at the gnolls who want to turn him into a hedgehog, and casts a scorching ray at the closest one, moving closer if necessary.
(Scorching ray ranged touch/damage (1d20+2=16, 4d6=10))

Round 10 (con't)
Razh drops his empty vial and goes back on the attack, killing his assailant, who had been recently burned by Ashnar's spell. Tenebrynn also hits, striking his opponet a sturdy blow with his staff. Ashnar extends his finger and unleashes a torrent of fire, enveloping one of the archers, and sending it staggering away to collapse in a heap of ash. Nurlan tries to move to Ogrin, dodging a blow from Tenebrynn's opponent, curing Ogrin and bringing the halfling back to consciousness. (Ogrin now at 6 hps) Rinlado moves out past Ashnar and around to flank the other archer.
Round 11:
Three gnolls still stand. One hits Razh a glancing blow. (4 pts). The other axe-weilder swings at Tenebrynn, who manages to duck. The third puts a bolt in Nurlan (4 pts dmg).
Razh and Tenebrynn then strike down their opponents. Ogrin and Nurlan charge the final archer and cut him down.
The party stands in the rough stoney room in silence. There are four 10 foot wide dark exits. There is a table, some chairs, some food remains and extra bolts. Each gnoll carries coins equivalent to 7 gps. One wears a golden necklace worth about 50 gps. This one also carries a scroll case. Inside is what appears to be a very thick piece of blank paper.

Could we have a quick HP summary so I can figure out who is urgently in need of healing?

With the wand, Nurlan taps, in succession, Razh three times, Eanos once, Ogrin twice, and Mordik once, each time saying, "Lehishtako!" Results: Razh healed 13 HP, Eanos healed 8 HP, Ogrin healed 11 HP, Mordik healed 3 HP.
One more time for each of Razh, Ogrin and Mordik: Razh gets 2 HP, Ogrin and Mordik each 4 HP.
Total now:
Nurlan 23/27 (You had a bolt hit him in the last round of combat)
Ashnar 22/29
Rinaldo full
Tenebrynn 19/24
Ogrin 21/26
Eanos 21/23
Mordik 8/14
Rasereit 21/36
The wand is now down to four charges. Nurlan is thinking, That was quick. Maybe the others were right -- we should have gotten a new wand as well as the potions.

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian (21/36 HP, 17 AC, fatigued)
When the tenth gnoll goes down, Razh simply stands in the center of the room, panting. His eyes slowly whiten, his flush-red face turns a pale color. He looks incredibly weak, compared to the beginning of the fight. Three arrows still protude from his torso, his shiny new helmet has a shiny new dent in it, and two long gashes in his side drip blood. He's still standing, but he looks about ready to fall over. He does not participate in the searching of the bodies.
Each time Nurlan's wand touches him, he looks progressively better, but Razh is disappointed when he hears that the healing device will soon expire. "What d'ye mean, ye're almost out o' charges? Ah can still stick four o' me fingers in this guy!" To prove his point, he brushes the axe-blade cut with his massive hand, wincing in pain as he does so. "Should'a bought tha' darn wand thinger, like they said they would. Ah told 'em, Ah'd rather lose me money now than me life later, Ah told 'em Ah did..." He mutters to himself, cleaning himself off as best he can.
After a short while, he doesn't seem as tired, but neither is he as vigorous as before. To Ogrin he says quietly, "Well, mate, that was another close 'un. Ah think Ah may need t'reconsider me tactics for the next fight."
As for the wealth found on the dead gnolls, Razh says gruffly, "Put me share in the healing wand fund, ye stingy blokes!" He continues muttering grumpily.

Mordik looks around somewhat sheepishly for a moment and then realizes he lost his rapier somewhere in this white stuff - He'll take a couple search checks to find it. Lost my weapon in there somewhere...

The rapier cannot be seen, and climbing back up the salty slide is nigh impossible. Soon enough, the slowing effect of the salt wears off.

OOC: I'll volunteer to keep a record of "party loot" on my character sheet if noone else wants to.
Ogrin looks at the number of bolts on the floor near Mordik. "I'd say you've earned the name 'Mordik Boltdodger'... but you still need to prove yourself before I call you 'Mordik Trapfinder', my friend. Does any of these have weapons you could use, or can anyone lend you one?"
The blank piece of paper catches Ogrins interest. The gnolls doesn't seem like a book-loving bunch and probably doesn't even know how to read or write. What would they need a piece of paper for?

"Well, it's hardly a standard occurance to find oneself literally falling into a pit of gnolls. You'll hopefully forgive our general optimism, then." Eanos counters with a wry smile, then turns and bows his head to the bard. "My thanks, Nurlan. Would that my training were advanced enough for me to heal my own wounds.
"And my thanks to you, Ogrin. Without your torch I'd have been useless down here in the dark" he says, handing the coldflame torch back to its owner.
As Mordik quests about for his rapier, Eanos reaches into his haversack, pulling his quarterstaff out of the magical space inside.
"If you have need of a weapon, Mordik, you're welcome to my quarterstaff. It's not of any exceptional make, but I'm afraid my other melee weapons would prove unweildy in the hands of one not trained for them."

Tenebrynn shakes off the effects of the magical latency, "Okay then, looks like our rope trick didn't work so well." He heads back over to the bottom of the shaft and shouts up to Rinaldo, "RINALDO, THE ROPE ISN'T LONG ENOUGH. WE'RE STUCK DOWN HERE."

Ashnar does his best to remove the arrows that hit him, then aids in the examination of the dead gnolls. "Curious, that blank piece of paper."

Rinaldo descended the salt slide as well. the whole group is now in the room. Rinaldo did, conveniently, arrive too to participate in the combat, so more XPs for the rest of you. The only weapons found are 10 greataxes, 10 light crossbows, and about 100 bolts. None of exceptional quality. There are four passages out of the room.

"Hope you brought your rod with you Rinaldo, I don't think we'll make it back up there for a bit. Any news on the paper, Ashnar? is it magical?" asks Tenebrynn.

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian (21/36 HP, 17 AC)
As his fellow adventurers begin pulling large, and in one case, spiky, objects from their smallish haversacks, his eyes get wide. "Oi, eh... Where'd ye blokes get them... magicked bags... an' such?" He inches closer to Mordik. "Would ye... er, Ah mean t'say, would ye mind if Ah had a peek? Ye know, inside? It's just... Ah get a bit edgy when things come out o' nowhere, eh?" He glances nervously at the bag.

Actually, it's a mostly ignored ability specifically allowed for dwarven barbarians with red hair. =P It was colored text, so I assumed he said it aloud. I'm sure Razh would've complained when he wasn't fully healed, so he might've been told that way. Oh well, I don't think it hurts. I'll read more carefully next time.

Err..yeah...Mordik will reluctantly show the opening for a moment and how the wanted item is always on top. He seems to like explaining it though: There'sis store near the Red Dragon Inn that sells a cu'pla items like it. They force more room inn'a bag with magic. Mordik's eyes twinkle as he emphasizes with his hands, as though pushing a big item into a small bag through sheer force. Makes the weight of it a lot less too....Haven't quite figgur'ed that bit out yet...but still quite useful fer us adventurin' types that like to bring it all wit' us, without stressin and dragginit behind.
Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian (21/36 HP, 17 AC)
Razh looks at the bag closely, picks it up, looks underneath. He sticks his whole arm in it, amazed when it fits with room to spare. "Tha's quite a handy haversack ye got there, mate." He backs away, slightly awed, but clearly less nervous. "Thank ye, Mordik. Jus' wanted to, ye know... Ah ne'er did trust that magic stuff s'much."

As Mordik produces his own weapon, Eanos nods and returns his quarterstaff to the haversack, then pulls out his sling again and loads it, listening for any noises that might be coming from the surrounding hallways in response to their less-than-subtle entrance.

Mordik notices Nurlan going silent and paying attention to the various exit(s) of the room. He stays silent for a moment and thinks about which way they should go.
He thinks again for a moment and adds:
hey...So whatsat paper the beasties dropped?
ooc exits
Initially I thought there was one exit other than the chute in the room - the battle grid showed differently. How many exits and in which directions?

Ashnar detects no magic, except for the a faint aura on the salt. Examining the paper seems to reveal nothing but what the party has already seen - a thick blank sheet of paper. There are four exits to the room, two to the North, and two to the West.

Nurlan has been thinking while the others were talking. Finally he speaks up. "I'd hoped we could leave the same way we came in, but it doesn't look like it [gesturing at the no-longer-hanging rope] so we'd better hope there's another way out. Let's explore all of these corridors carefully. If there is a direct exit from this level, it's likely to be concealed. And, we better hope there isn't another gnoll battalion waiting for us in the next room, because if they are they probably aren't any nicer than this bunch."

"It seems we can't continue in our former direction," Eanos says with a shrug as he looks about. "Shall we reverse it by heading North, or try one of the Westerly exits? I'm not sure any of them strike me as especially dangerous or inviting."

The party continues and discovers there is only one real way onward. The north passages form a loop back into the room with the salt slide, and the more southern of the western exits is a dead end. The last passage leads around in a loose semicircle, opening into a room from the west. The room is a rough -hewn natural cavern approximately octagonal in shape. This area is lit by a luminous fungus. The exact size of the room is hard to determine because of a number of large stalagmites and stalactites present. Directly opposite the entry, 110 feet away, is a door of iron banded wood.

Ogrin takes the lead this time, watching for traps or possible ambushes on their way towards the door. He stays clear of the main floor, instead hugging the walls.

"I'd think they'd have joined in on the battle if there were any." Before they leave the room. Ashnar looks if Razh's empty potion flask survived being thrown away well enough to hold something else. If it did, he takes a small sample of the salt.
After the group has scouted out the paths, Ashnar mumbles some things about gnoll architecture.

Didnt realize. I'm at 12/14 then.

Directly opposite the entry, 110 feet away, is a door of iron banded wood.
Mordik follows behind the lead, not arguing. As they reach the room, he moves no farther than the entrance and looks about nervously as his eyes dart from stalagtite to stalagmite.

OOC: Never read when you're tired - I thought it was a 110 ft long corridor. I amend my actions with this:
Ogrin stays close to the walls while approaching the door.

Prior to leaving the main chamber, Tenebrynn empties out his belt pouch into his backpack and scoops some of the salt into it. Tying the bag loosely he tests the weight intending to use it as a makeshift ranged weapon.
Once they reach the large chamber, Tenebrynn holds his lit staff high and suggests, "Should we spread out a bit?"

So is the group going to edge around the room to the door on the far end? Is everyone going to go the same direction? Who's going first? Will the group go to the North or South?

Ogrin goes first, staying close to the northern wall. He carries a shield and torch this time, walking carefully towards the door.
OOC: Search +6, Spot -1, Listen +1

Razh will follow about ten feet behind Ogrin, far enough back that he hopefully won't trigger any traps but close enough that he can rush in to help if he's needed. He has both his axes drawn.

Nurlan will follow the same path as the party's hired muscles, scanning the walls and floors as he goes for any strange features that might conceal traps or secret doors.

Mordik will follow behind Nurlan - he'd prefer not to be the farthest back.

So, basically, you're in this room where the floor is covered with white goo as deep as you can feel. There is a narrow bridge leading across over the goo to the other side, where there is an open passage. Across the center of the room is a sheet of blue electricity. The party has learned various things about the goo. There is no other way to proceed except through this room that the party has found. The only alternative would be to climb back up the salt slide, which would be quite difficult, though not impossible.

"Interesting. Not a place to swim, though, even if the goo is apparently harmless. There appears no other path, so as long as no foe can pass the wall of lightning or the door, we should be safe." Ashnar says, before concentrating on the goo once more. "The goo hardens once removed from the pool. What keeps it liquefied, then? The wall of lightning? Or something beneath the pool?"

[smallcaps]Hrm. Lightnin'... goo...Erm...How deep is'is goo again?[/smallcaps] If Mordik sees an area where he can submerge just his face, he'll take a couple deep breaths, hold his breath,hold his nose and then put his face in. He'll try to look around with his face in the goo.
