[LPF] Coils of Flame

Std: Cast See Invisibility for 60 minutes; move: move to M3 or approximately there.
Perception (1d20+16-2=22)

Arianna moves further into the passage, noting in passing that the floor is rising fairly steeply (OOC: Higher Ground advantage to the person farther into the passage). She rounds the bend and sees quickly that it is not actually that long. At the end of the passage is a skeleton - apparently the dead kind, as it's lying on the ground in equipment. Just as she's on the verge of moving further to investigate she notices a wicked scything axe trap blocking the passage between her and the body.

Mowgli, it looks like from the map that the floor slopes up/downward. Is that something Drev notices from his position? Is it slight or steep?[/sblock]

The ground does indeed slope up from Drev's position, and steeply - again, enough to grant higher ground advantage to a foe farther down the passage.

 

[Satin Knights]

Arianna returns to the others. "I found what looks like a normally dead skeleton. It still has its equipment on it like it hasn't moved. There is a nasty axe blade trap about 10 feet before it, so it is likely just a dead body. Might be lootable, but I don't have good luck dealing with traps. Beyond the body looks like a dead end."

 

[jackslate45]

Listining to Arianna, Anaerion says "We may not need to deal with the trap, correct? We can simply go around it. I have a few tricks that will let me get around the blade, so I can grab the equipment with no issue."

"Okay, let me show you where it is." Arianna takes Anaerion into the southern passage and points out the trap she found so he knows exactly what he is trying to bypass.

Arianna and Anaerion move into the side passage, and Arianna points out the wall scythe trap - though the light trickling into the passage is dim, the wizard is able to make out the massive blade and the body behind it.

 

[jackslate45]

Taking a steading breath, Anaerion *pops* over to the exact spot of the body, hopefully bypassing the trap.

Once over it, Anaerion attemts to shift through the body, looking for what would be valuable. Gathering everything together, he casts detect magic on any items that might have an enchantment on them.

In the meantime, Malkovian jokes "Poor sap. Probally bled out after getting cut by the giant axe. Speaking of which, we should totally take the giant axe. Someone might find it useful."

[sblock=OOC]
Use a shift to get over to the body.

Take time to gather all the gear, then cast detect magic on it. Let me know how many spell craft rolls I will need.

Elenka and Drevezh'korol, summoner and wood man

Elenka and Drevezh'korol keep up their vigil, though Elenka does glance back when Anaerion moves to join Arianna after the merfolk woman comes to inform the rest of the group about the trap. Convinced that the two can handle it she turns back to her watch. Drevezh'korol peers through the gloom disgruntled that the heat and steam is making his bark itch.

Combat (Round 01)

The Beast and the Wizard move down the passage. After a quick look, Anaerion *pops* through extra-dimensional space to stand over the body beyond the axe-trap. He kneels over the body for a closer look and feels an impact like he's never experienced as something slams into his back, shoving him to the wall and wrapping him up in a burning grasp! He wriggles 'round to confront his attacker and recognizes immediately what happened.

[sblock=Anaerion]The "axe-trap" was, in fact, a Deathtrap Ooze! Extremely rare and very deadly, the ooze has few (if any) weaknesses. It is strong, and uses an acid that eats away flesh but leaves non-organic materials intact. It is itself immune to acid attacks, as well as the usual ooze immunities.[/sblock]

[sblock=Combat!]
Surprise Round: Ooze used swift action to take its true shape.
Round One:

• Ellamin is the only one to act before the Ooze, and he is still unaware as it's out of his sight.
• Ooze hits Anaerion w/ Slam, dealing 12 Slam/Acid damage. Grapples Anaerion.
• Anaerion/Arianna/Drev/Heinrich/Elenka up for Round 01!

NOTE: Ooze is size large and has 10' Reach; currently occupies the square between it and Arianna on the map as well (will correct map for next post).

"Uh...HELP!" Is the only thing Malkoivan yells when Anaerion is grabbed by the beast, but Anaerion seems to be calm enough to analyze the monster.

Ah, no wonder it looked like a trap first. Hmm, burning flesh, so something acid based...ah HA!

Finding out everything he needed to know, Anaerion relates his expertise to his companions:

"Be careful! This ooze monster will dissolve your skin off while it attacks you. Also, anything that would effect a person's mind will do nothing to this creature. Do not use acidic attacks on it; They will deal no harm to it!"

Once completed, Anaerion takes his free hand not holding the wand, and waves it around. With a push forward like an open palm, he says "Take THIS!" However, Anaerion must have screwed up the incantation, because nothing fires. With a small *pop*, Anaerion reutrns back to where he was before, and prepares to fight the creature for real.
[sblock=OOC] @Mowgli : It seems Anaerion's Mage Armor was not factored in for some reason (I must not have updated it...). I doubt the Ooze missed on his initial hit, but I updated it so I don't forget again.

Anaerion:
Free: Give advice on what he knows about the creature.
Standard: Defensively cast Magic Missile: 1d20+16=29, 4d4+4=17 Missed it by 1
Swift: Shift 20' to I06. This ends his turn.

[sblock=jackslate]Got it, and updated the combat block. You're correct - initial Attack roll was a 27 so it would've hit anyway. I thought I remembered him casting that, and went looking to find out why his AC was so low but I must have missed it. Luckily it rolled terrible damage [/sblock]
