Adventure: Lord Byron’s Economic Woes (DM: Tenchuu, Judge: H.M.Gimlord)

[Tenchuu]

As kane moves forward toward the Kobold leader, he steps on the false stonework, triggering the pit trap. Kane realizes the mistake a moment too late, and the bugbear falls with the floor. 20 feet down, Kane slams into a spike pit. The wooden spikes dig into him, burning as they are covered with some kind of poison.

[sblock=OOC]So, kane's move is over. He still has Standard and Minor to do.

Ahh...!" Kane calls out in alarm as the floor suddenly disappeared under him. With the pain of the landing and the spiked bottom, Kane blacks out for a moment. Shaking his head, he stands up "Kane is ok, sore, but ok. Can you send a friend for me to play with in here?" the bugbear calls out.

[sblock=OOC]
*Oi, that sucks...it just hit me. Nice work Tenchuu...anyone have a slide/pull effect they can use to bring the underboss in here?

Standard: Stand-up
Minor: n/a
End of turn: save vs poison (1d20=18) no longer taking ongoing poison

[sblock=ooc]I could try to use thorn whip to do it... evilbob, what do you think?

You could still use flaming sphere to hit one, and sustain it so that maybe Hergunna can group them up better for it on the next turn?[/sblock]

 

[evilbob]

[sblock=time for a new plan]Yeah, I agree that the best move now is to try to drag that guy into the pit. If you can get him with thorn whip, that'd be awesome (can you slide him to F0 and then into the pit just to hit him with that silly fire thing?). He will probably get a save to avoid being pulled off the edge, tho. But if he saves, I can hit him with my at-will which also slides 1 and try to dump him into the pit again. Otherwise, I'll either drop my daily or figure something else out...[/sblock]

 

[ryryguy]

Hergunna groans as Kane disappears into the pit. She once again studies the blade trap, trying to predict its movements. But once more it is beyond her grasp.

"Screw this," she mutters, and charges forward around the corner and down the hallway. She moves past the trapped wizard and bard in a blur, screeches to a halt, and flicks her wrist. A thick, thorny vine shoots from her hand and wraps around the lead goblin. She pulls back, and the vine pulses, dragging the goblin forward through the magical flames. Just before dragging onto the lip of the pit he falls back, ending up prone at the edge.

[sblock=Actions]Minor: fail again to predict trap. 1D20 + 10 => 16
Double Move: to I3
Action Point, Standard: Thorn Whip vs. Underboss 1D20 + 6 + 3 => 19, hits. Damage is... anyone care to take a guess? 1D8 + 5 => 6 That's right, minimum!
Pull him through F0 to take 2 more from the flame zone, then try to pull him to G1 into the pit.

I'll go ahead and roll the save against being pulled in. so evilbob can go.
Naturally, he makes it. 1D20 => 13
He's still prone though.

"No-wait-watch-out-for-the ...yeahhhh", Mervin says as he watches the bugbear fall into a pit in the floor. "So how're things down there? Looks... spikey!" Mervin offers. "At least he can see..."

As Hergunna charges up and whips the underboss toward the pit, Mervin watches and smiles. "Seems like a great plan - I'll help!" Mervin aims carefully, but forgetting his feet are still stuck to the floor, he becomes slightly off-balance and at the last moment, his staff swings wide. A bolt of psychic energy flies from his hand and misses the kobold by several yards.

As Mervin scraps the remainder of the glue off his legs, he looks at his companions, looks at the bugbear in the pit, and then looks at his own staff. He sighs. "This has not been one of our better moments."

[sblock=ooc]Kane is still lit up at least! If not I can use a minor on him since my plan of awesomeness can't work this round.

Phantom bolt vs. underboss misses by a mile - I rolled a 2. It was for minimum damage anyway (duh).

Can't do anything else so end of round save: saved![/sblock]
