OOC: Let's see where this one goes... Oh my. Bob's gonna like it. I don't know about anyone else...

Location: Altar to Bhaal Dragon, Dawn

Bobranthus is slightly disoriented as the troglodyte cavern vanishes in a reddish haze and is replaced by an enormous room with a vaulted ceiling. The weathered tile floor depicts the skull-symbol of Bhaal at nearly a thousand square feet in size. Rows of pews mark the room as a center of worship.

The large altar, on Bob's left, has been converted to the Cult of the Dragon, with a dragon skull on the wall behind it, and banners hanging on either side depicting the symbol of the cult.

Only the earliest risers, devout and with faith to prove, are here this early in the morning - eight cultists are present. One stands on a ladder, lighting large candles in the eyes of the dragon skull. Three kneel at the altar in silent prayer. Four sit about the pews, studying parchments. All of them look up at the hum of the teleporter. None have time to react before Bob shakes the haze from his head.

GM: Surprise round for Bob. Everyone else give me initiative and if you beat [roll0] you can go. I will post a picture asap. The room is 65 feet across. There are only two cultists not within 30 feet of the teleporter (they are in the further pews). Edit: Having seen that initiative. Ha! They don't know what hit them! Bob can go twice before they go, too!

Bobranthus chortles at the number of targets and dashes straight in to assail them with his mighty weapons. He gets one good hit in but otherwise gets caught up in the pews and ends up sending up more splinters than blood.

OOC: I meant to go in minus the rage this time. Please subtract 2 damage from any hits. Didn't want to reroll just because I forgot to adjust my regular attacks. 2 rounds of attacks. wh, ba, wh, ba: 1D20+5 = [18]+5 = 23 1D8+5 = [7]+5 = 12 1D20+5 = [5]+5 = 10 1D8+5 = [6]+5 = 11 1D20+5 = [4]+5 = 9 1D8+5 = [3]+5 = 8 1D20+5 = [1]+5 = 6 1D8+5 = [1]+5 = 6

OOC: Initiative in Chapel: 1D20+1 = [1]+1 = 2 Sesto might as well just hang back and have a second breakfast in the Trog cave!

As Bobranthus sprints up the plinth, Sesto calls for Lathander to bless them all, and then sets off after Bob.
Sesto steps through the teleporter straight after Bobranthus. Damnation on that Bob, Sesto thinks, he beat me to the obelisk! Climbing in this armour is just hell.
Sesto shakes of a slight dizziness and takes in the scene where Bob is disturbing a bunch of cultists in their morning prayers. Sesto moves out of the way to let Pyrus and Devan through the portal.

OOC: Is it considered an action to use the portal or can we attack as soon as we go through? [-]If so, Sesto attacks with his mace. Mace attack on cultist, with damage: 1D20+1D4+4 = [3]+[1]+4 = 8, 1D6+2 = [6]+2 = 8.[/-] Sesto did cast Bless as 2nd level!

IOC: initiative: [roll0]

Pyrus moves through the portal, ready. For anything.

OOC: I rolled a 1 for initiative for the cultists, so even with Pyrus and Sesto's terrible rolls, they can go. I guess it took the cultists a bit to figure out that it wasn't just more cultists arriving, as deep as they were in their "worship". I'll let Sesto have cast Bless before anyone went into the teleporter, but I'll take his mace-miss from above as his turn. He can do a full move though, so let me know where you want him to be. Pyrus can have a full turn starting where he is here on the map. If [MENTION=40234]Celestial[/MENTION] doesn't show up, we will assume that Devan is taking some extra time to get into the teleporter. Perhaps he's talking to the old troglodyte.

OOC: In that case, if Sesto wanted to use that bless option I'll roll my d4's. Maybe they'll make Bob not suck quite as bad. LOL Bless bonus: 1D4 = [4] = 4 1D4 = [4] = 4 1D4 = [3] = 3 1D4 = [2] = 2

Pyrus looks at the closest person and sends a blast of fiery energy his way.

OOC: Action: Energy Beam, Fire. DC 13 Dex save or take [roll0] fire damage. What is the lighting like in here?

Click to expand...

The dragon-skull sconces provide bright light in the top half of the room and dim light in the bottom half. The obelisk is dimly lit in the corner.

Location: Altar to Bhaal Dragons

Round One

Bob immediately rushes forward and beats in the head of the seated cultist. He then rushes the group of praying acolytes, who defend themselves and surround him. Chanting dark words they unleash an assault of necromantic magic at him.

Sesto rushes another cultist, who ducks under Pyrus' energy blast, draws two long knives, and scratches Sesto while ducking his blow. Sling stones clatter on Sesto's shield as the other cultists take coverered positions from which to attack.

The Priest climbs down from his ladder, and summons a spear which flies over and stabs at Pyrus, who ducks. He then conjures flames and sends them at Bob.

Devan fails to appear from the obelisk.

Sesto does not let the scratch bother him. Instead he summons the spectral mace and attacks the priest that just climbed down the ladder. Immediately, Sesto sends down flames on his nearest adversary.

OOC: Concentration check: 2D20.HIGH(1)+2+1D4 = [4, 13]+2+[2] = 17 (adv war caster) Pass, Bless is still active! Spiritual Weapon in F4 Spiritual Weapon attack with bless and damage: 1D20+1D4+6 = [4]+[2]+6 = 12, 1D8+4 = [5]+4 = 9 Sacred Flame on H9 Sacred Flame damage (Radiant, Dex save DC14 for no damage): 1D8 = [2] = 2
