OOC: My free shifts, as well as Mervin's if EB agrees, are in post #99.

"Fenwick happy to abet Riardon in killing of monster!" the Orc yells, getting into position and charging headlong at the creature Riardon hit. His axe bites deep, setting it up for another attack, which Fenwick takes advantage of, swinging his axe back, then forward again, connecting on the backswing, but not on his last attempt.

Vault the Fallen (attack #1) vs. Gargoyle #2 (1d20+10+3=22, 1d12.minroll(3)+1d6+10=24) and since he's so close to death, I'll do the second attack against him too. Vault the Fallen (attack #2) vs. Gargoyle #2 (1d20+10=11, 1d12.minroll(3)+1d6+7=13). Drat. So Close.[/sblock][sblock=Fenwick stat block]Fenwick Male Orc Barbarian 5

Riardon’s blow to the Runespiral Demon cracks the foul beast’s shell, which releases a resounding

“Crack!”​

The air scintillates with electricity. Harmless, but loud.

Not so harmless are the swarm of poison darts that immediately fill the room, striking all of the party save Riardon, who somehow manages to be out of the spray. The adventurers soon realize that the prick of these darts is only the beginning as poison works its way into their targets.

“Ouch!” The second gargoyle screams as Riardon and Fenwick continue their attack, “Not fair!”


The other gargoyle ignores his friend’s pleas, choosing, instead, to go after Rujah and Gensai. Managing only to connect with the warden, the gargoyle contents himself to stay and provide support to his companion as he targets the Rhonin again along with Mervin, but both of these attacks prove unsuccessful,

“Intruders in my Master's library!”
​

he screams, and, not wishing to be killed, the second gargoyle takes flight, disappearing through the opening in the curtain and into the hallway.

Whether in response to the Runspiral Demon’s noisy demise, or in response to the gargoyle’s warning, the sounds of grating stone and voices are heard from beyond the curtain.

Someone is coming…

OOC: Are the tables just difficult terrain? Any special rules?

 

[Tenchuu]

OOC: About that trap... a DC 27 is impossible for our group, so it can't be disabled. My question is two fold: 1. I assume it will fire every round. Correct? 2. Can we tell were the dart holes were? It's too bad the enemies weren't caught in it yet, but maybe we can still do that. 3. If we leave the the room for the hallway, would that be out of range of the trap?

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

OOC: About that trap... a DC 27 is impossible for our group, so it can't be disabled. My question is two fold:

GM: The trap actually can be disabled with a concentrated search (not recommended until after combat), but it would require a high roll and AAs from just about everyone. I actually had to reduce the DC from the cookie-cutter version to make it possible.

OOC: 1. I assume it will fire every round. Correct?

GM: No. The trap will fire on its initiative after a PC has entered the triggering square. See "Trigger" in the stat block.

OOC: 2. Can we tell were the dart holes were? It's too bad the enemies weren't caught in it yet, but maybe we can still do that.

GM: Yes. See "Perception" in the stat block for DCs and results.

OOC: 3. If we leave the the room for the hallway, would that be out of range of the trap?

GM: You can always try.

Are the tables just difficult terrain? Any special rules

GM: There are DT markers on the map where the tables present difficult terrain (specifically, M26,M27, O26,P26,Q26, R26-R28, N28,N29, O28,O29, M31, N31, Q31, R31). Since the gargoyles can fly, they aren't affected. The desks in the center of the room (N28,N29, O28,O29) grant superior cover to prone creatures provided that the desks block line of effect. The curtain blocks line of sight, but not line of effect for area and adjacent melee attacks. The curtain grants cover and concealment (total where line of sight is blocked enough). It is a minor action to open the curtain completely, though a simple move action can take a PC through it at P31 because it is already partially open. I'm open to PCs using their imagination when it comes to improvised weapons (chairs, lecturns, candelabras, etc...)

OOC: It is hard for me to read red on blue.

OOC: Genau, aber dein Englisch ist viel besser als mein Deutsch. Wie sehen die Farben jetzt aus.

Fenwick winces at the dart, but his habit of eating strange plants protects him from the poison's worst effects. He then moves swiftly around the table, before jumping up on it so as to leave the monster in the midst of it surrounded.
"Perish now, enemy!" he shouts at the gargoyle as his axe swings wide, much to his embarrasment.

[sblock=actions]Before Fenwick's turn: Shrug it Off save vs. Poison (1d20=11). Since this succeeds, he shifts 1 square to P27.
Move: to N29 via M28.
