The Hunted (DM: IronSky, Judge: ???)

[Neurotic]

OOC: I could, yes, but you could also fail and spend what little surges you have (and Illarion has 4 remaining which would make him risk most of them if the trap is bad enough. IronSky, if precautions are taken (making make-shift baricade to shield from the blast from the door and similiar) could that be used as some bonus to defenses? Here are the rolls, I'll let pac decide. Rolled only 5 since one success is already accounted for and 6 is needed...erm...I see the error of my ways, added two more.

"Maybe we shouldn't poke too much at this right now, since there are traps on this. If we set them off, we could be late for our appointment with the demons. Or at least, the rest of you should go out and wait for us."

Thievery Aid Another (1d20+3=19, 1d20+3=23, 1d20+3=13, 1d20+3=18, 1d20+3=22) - ALL PASS too bad for the critical, I'll be (AGAIN!) useless in a fight
Thievery Aid another (1d20+3=14, 1d20+3=7) - last one fail

GO GO Auntie Mab

IronSky, if precautions are taken (making make-shift baricade to shield from the blast from the door and similiar) could that be used as some bonus to defenses?

GM: Possibly, though Mab could tell you that the traps extend into the room itself. They also appear to be mechanical, not magical. It would take more checks(and more time) to investigate the whole room to determine the extend of the traps in the room containing the metal door.

OOC: Only rolled the first 6 with the aid another bonuses, but... ... Here goes nothing.

"Oh, don't worry dearie. Nothing to fear from a couple of traps," Auntie Mab says, heedless of Illarion's caution, "We'll just be careful is all."

"Now Tristram, you're going to have to do most of this since I can't reach the smaller parts of the mechanism. Just take this bobbie pin love. That's right, now you see that cam there? Just give it a twist... Whoops! Careful dearie... That's right nice and easy... No not that pin, the other one... Yes, easy does it... Wait, not that gearshaft Tristram! WATCH OUT!!..."

Thievery (1d20+12+2=17, 1d20+12+2=27, 1d20+12+2=21, 1d20+12+2=18, 1d20+12+2=28, 1d20+12+2=19)

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: Just so you know, there was less then 20% you'll miss this with all successful aids... - and we need to do it all over again and waste who know how many surges...we made a bad call

Illarion watches what Tristram is doing and as the woman's voice raises he throws himself aside rolling quickly over the floor, cursing at the robes he needs for the disguise.

OOC: Total defense and prone if possible

 

[Iron Sky]

The Hunted: Day 1, Hour 4, Minute 25

A hail of razor-sharp needles fires from the ceiling, spraying Mab and Illarion, wounding the old woman badly and nearly killing the sorcerer.

Razor Needle Trap: 18 Reflex vs Mab, miss, 12 damage, 19 Reflex vs Illarion, hit, 25 damage.

GM: Oops. Redaction. We'll assume the group stabilizes Illarion so no worries for death saves, though you'll probably need an extra 5 minute rest while Xander patches you guys up again (which will take the whole group to Minute 33). If you're going to try it again, you can, but the skill challenge is reset.

 

[pacdidj]

OOC: [MENTION=60965]Iron Sky[/MENTION] - I hate to say it, but I already included the aid another bonuses in the skill checks, and still bombed half of them.

 

[Iron Sky]

OOC: @Iron Sky - I hate to say it, but I already included the aid another bonuses in the skill checks, and still bombed half of them.

GM: Ah, fixed. You guys can take surge + 2d6+7s heals (or surge+14) if you don't feel like rolling for it. I imagine one of those will probably be enough to mostly top you two off.

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: Do I count healing from -1, 0 or +1? Healing (2d6=8) +7 +6 = 21
Depending on the answer I may be at 20, 21 or 22. If I'm at 20, I'll spend second surge to top off and remain at two surges.
I got Double damage or something?! I mean 12 vs 25!!


As Illarion drops, his elven features melt and featureless face greets Xander as he comes to help.
"Next time, when you accept help from someone, actually listen to them, woman! Thank you, Xander, that hurt." he stands up, his face resuming his elven disguise

"I hope most of you guessed that I'm not an elf. I hope also that this won't change much between us, and that you won't have me exposed. The Brotherhood is still looking for me, I'll explain everything once we have some time. Deal? I'm not some spy or saboteur send to foil your plans."

"I hope most of you guessed that I'm not an elf. I hope also that this won't change much between us, and that you won't have me exposed. The Brotherhood is still looking for me, I'll explain everything once we have some time. Deal? I'm not some spy or saboteur send to foil your plans."

Devinihm frowns a moment, considering. "Are those who change always hunted here?" he asks. There is a momentary buzzing beneath his leaf cloak. "If so, I should keep the swarm hidden, no?"

 

[Iron Sky]

The Hunted: Day 1, Hour 4, Minute 33

After Mab and Illarion recover from the trap, the group is ready to go... somewhere.

I got Double damage or something?! I mean 12 vs 25!!

GM: You heal from 1. Also, I forgot to put the "miss" next to the trap's attack vs Mab. Fixed now above. It hit for 25, half damage on a miss is 12.
