OOC: Current injuries of the party after all healing magics have been exhausted: Chat -1, Craven -5, Raner -15, Spugnoir -14, Toriah -5
The party follows Lenya's suggestions for setting up a camp for the night in the torture chamber.
Before the guards head to their posts, Spugnoir starts studying Lylamwyn's spellbook.
While Spugnoir is studying the spellbook, Chat trips while walking behind him and accidentally stabs Spugnoir in the back with his rapier. The rapier passes through Spugnoir’s heart. By coincidence, hitting the exact same spot on the back where Chat had earlier stabbed the ghoul. Unlike the ghoul, Spugnoir needs his heart to function. Spugnoir says “Ouch.” and dies. The wound is precise and so neat not even a drop of blood spills on the spellbook that Spugnoir was studying intently.
(Chat’s attack roll: 3 + 7= 10 Spugnoir’s flatfooted AC: 12 -2 sitting = 10. Damage: 21. DC 14 Fort Save 4+4=8, Spugnoir failed his save against death.)
Drawing his rapier out of Spugnoir, Chat says, ”I told you that going to the Moathouse was a damn fool adventure that would result in someone’s death.”
Round 1 Initiative
25: Chat – Recognizing Craven’s prowess, Chat attacks Craven next, but his rapier is deflected by Craven’s shield (7+7 = 14 vs. Craven’s flatfooted ac of 16 miss. Craven’s shield saves his life from a 5d6+1 sneak attack).
19: Belaver tries to spear Chat and misses (2). Neshi bites Chat in the ankle (18 hit, 3 points of damage, DC 11 fort save 4+= fail, 3 points of con damage)
16: Black Cat hisses and claws Chat on the other ankle (18+4=22 hit, damage 1)
15: Kerwyn tries to knife Chat, but Chat is too quick (5 miss).
10: Toriah tries to stab Chat with his rapier (6 miss).
7: Lylamwyn tries to fire into the melee, but there are too many people there to hit Chat (5 miss).
7: Raner swings his waraxe at Chat, striking him hard (14+5=19 hit, 7 damage)
3: Lenya moves to block the archway and hurls a blast of green flame at the traitor (18+4=22 hit, 4 damage, DC 14 will save 18+0=18 passed)
3: Craven swings his warhammer at the traitor, but the warhammer is deflected by Chat's buckler, which seems more resistant than the usual buckler. (11+4=15 vs. AC 17, miss).
