[Adventure] Dusk and Her Embrace (Judge: THB)

[horticulture]

OOC: You could spit the skill challenge into two scenes. It would count as a single challenge for total successes and failures, milestones, etc. This way we would consecrate the altar at the first scene, and the second would be handled when we decide to actually destroy the crystal.

GM: That makes sense. Let's do it that way. Let me know if the group wants to go that route.

 

[Son of Meepo]

OOC: Either it's that or I think we're waiting around for something to happen.

 

[jsb420]

OOC: works for me.

"Well, now that the doors are secured, I say we need ta remove all traces of the evil one from Onatar's temple.", Brondin says.

He walks to another of the vile statues and swings his craghammer, and lands a might blow, blasting the defiled statue into large chunks of marble and dust. He then begins to remove the debris and toss the rubble into one of the pits.

OOC: Summary: Standard: Athletics Check (1d20+11=18)

 

[horticulture]

[sblock=Destroying the Shard, part 1]Level: 5

Complexity: 2 (requires 4 successes before 3 failures).

Primary Skill: Religion.

Religion (DC 14, 1 success, no maximum): You call upon the power of Onatar to cleanse the altar.

Other Skills: Diplomacy, Dungeoneering.

Diplomacy (DC 14, no successes): Onatar is the god of the forge and industry, and is known to be both diplomatic and reasonable. You’re no cleric, but your silver tongue might sway the god to aid you in your endeavor. You grant a +2 bonus to one ally’s next Religion check made as part of this skill challenge.

Dungeoneering (DC 18, no successes): You use your knowledge of stonework to remove all traces of evil iconography from the altar. On a success, all Religion checks made as part of this skill challenge gain a +2 bonus.[/sblock]

GM: One skill check per character per round. Feel free to use a skill not listed, as long as you can come up with a plausible reason; the DC for using a skill not listed is 18. jsb420 has one success so far.

 

[MetaVoid]

Religion Aid Another (1d20+6=13) - phew barely +2 religion check

Bellegon is clearly inexperienced with such rituals, but he's smart and learns quickly. He sets various parts of the ritual on mage's advice.

 

[Walking Dad]

Deimos Vrago, Tiefling Wizard (Mage) 5

Deimos gladly accepts Bellegon's help and tries to appease Onatar with his chanting.

[sblock=OOC]

We are only preparing the altar, right? We are not yet destroying the shard.

Immediate Interruption: Shield (if it prevents a hit)

[drothgery]

Tana tries to dredge up anything she might know to prepare for a ritual of this type, but draws a blank.
Religion check (1d20+7=9)

 

[MetaVoid]

REligion aid another (1d20+6=20)

Bellegon continues supporting the thiefling, not even trying to offer something unique. His job was trapping the entrances, now others are taking the lead.

 

[Son of Meepo]

Ghourra decides she'd just get in the way of the ritual, so she continues to watch for signs of undead breaching the shrine.

OOC: Ghourra does nothing with her turn. As long as Bellegon successfully aids, Deimos automatically succeeds a DC 14 check, so I see little benefit from anyone else trying to do anything to help.
