Adventure: Get Me to the Church on Time (DM: BenBrown, Judge: Renau1g)

[Mewness]

"Further back, Lord Mallaby," warns Goldenhorn. Careless of the large mushroom's attacks, Goldenhorn walks around to the other side of the creature, dropping his sword and pulling out a javelin.

[sblock=actions]Move: to F8. Provokes an OA from the shield mushroom, but the +5 AC bonus is still going.

Minor: have Mallaby move to G12, well out of the burst radius

Free: drop sword

Minor: draw javelin[/sblock]

OOC: Assuming I am still standing next round, let me take out the shroom A, since the explosion will mostly likely drop me then.

 

[BenBrown]

GM: Sorry this took so long. IC is down, and I was hoping it would come back up.

As Goldenhorn moves around it, the robust mushroom's spiny tendrils lash out at him, penetrating even through the aura that surrounds him.

The other mushroom steps forward to strike at Zardi, but misses the barbarian in its furious rage.

The heavy looking mushroom, besieged on all sides, strikes at the one who last damaged it. Its tendrils whip at Tyris, but can not penetrate his new armor.[sblock=Enemy Actions]
Mushroom A
Move: to K7-L8
Standard: Shove vs. Zardi, which misses.

OA hits Goldenhorn for 13 damage.

The little mushrooms are difficult terrain.
The large mushrooms (those that aren't attacking you) are obstacles which provide cover and concealment.[/sblock][sblock=status]Goldenhorn: F8 HP 12/32, Surges 9/10, AP 0, second wind unused

Mallaby is not a fully trained fighter. He will only defend himself on his own. He will however, follow orders.
As a minor action, any character can have Mallaby spend an action. He can't use more than the usual complement (standard, move, minor) in one turn, but a PC's minor action can be used for any of them.

Try not to get him killed. He is paying for this, after all.[/sblock][sblock=Enemies]Mushrooms A & B: AC 16, Fort 16, Ref 16, Will 14

OOC: Everyone move away from Mushroom A if you can. I'm (hopefully) going to trigger the 'splosion. I forgot that my axe has a ranged attack power that I can use, so I can get far enough away to keep from dying as well.

OOC: BenBrown: I actually moved to G9, not H9 (Unless the dead 'shroom is difficult terrain?) bluesfell: considering above, I'm out of range of the mushroom already. With my garrote I can sustain standard and do 2d4+4 +1d8 damage to the crown mushroom without making an attack roll, which should be plenty to kill mushroom A with the damage transfer. Though I'm guessing if you kill A yourself, I'd just do full damage to the crown, so I'm not too picky.

GM: map is fixed

 

[bluesfella]

OOC: Tenchuu, if you can get Spider up to G10 or so, I'll hopefully take care of the 'splodey one.

"Aye," Jarro nodded, pointing his huge sword at the shield mushroom as he moved, warding off any attack.

"Ayight. I an I not gonna attack dis won until da Mount'in-mon done wit da udda won, ya 'ear?" Jarro ordered, readied a thrust with his great sword.

OOC: GM: I have 5 THP from Half-Orc Resilience used last turn.

[/sblock][sblock=Spider's Journal]
1. Lord Adelin Mallaby recruits me and some other adventurers from the Tavern. He asked for protection, on a trip to Allaria. He is to be wed to Elena of Terconis, daughter of the Count of Terconis. According to tradition, the wedding must take place at the ancient chapel of the Terconis family, and the chapel in Count's Crovale lies in the high hills of old Allaria. The lady and the Count are already there.
2. The adventurers board Starlight's Veil, Mallaby's brig. The ship is built for speed, not cargo or battle.
3. Intended Path: Land at Ristaren (100 miles south of Fromish), and make our way up the old highway to here. A mile or two off the highway is the village of Achirem, which is still thriving in the midst of rough country, so they say. From there we cross Derianis ridge, and then down to Crovale. The last part through the hills may be dangerous.
4. We land at Ristaren, and it is a small, poor town.
5. We killed a bunch of spiders.
6. We arrived at Achirem, where Kelvan told us to watch out for:
a. Bramble scar: some kind of trap/pit thing we can't avoid.
b. Hzaka Raiders
c. Ismene: Local robin hood bandit type. Lady, with a band of rugged ladies.
7. Get Jumped, or try to Jump, some Hzaka Raiders.
8. Meet up with Ismene's band, but managed to talk our way through it.
9. Encounter: Angry Bear, Angrier bees, and a hungry frog. Graval got eaten by a frog, but Spider saved him.
10. Meet with Ismene and convince her to give us safe passage if we help her take on a local Goblin raider.
11. Launch surprise attack on Goblin tower. Climb to roof and take out archers. Jump in the tower, and find more hobgoblins.
12. Run in to some creepy mushroom field. Attacked by big mushrooms.

Zardi starts to move away from the mushroom in order to escape the cloud of spores, but the big mushroom catches him as he steps away and knocks him down.

OOC: Well, this was cool in my head, but the dice were against me.

[BenBrown]

OOC: Yes, that's the MBA. Sorry, forgot to include it in the statblock. Unfortunately, despite the +4 it's good enough to hit, and even more unfortunately, it knocks Zardi prone. Go ahead and retcon the rest of your actions.
