"It looks like the way beyond is through the book room. I could try to disable the wards so that we can proceed."

Dina moves to the other side of the door and observes the traps effects on Rilissa, waiting for something to happen.

[sblock=actions]Move: L6
Standard: Study the trap Arcana (1d20+12=21)[/sblock]

Match Two: The Jade Tomb, Round 15

As Ignatz bounds off through the mists towards the entrance, Rilissa finally wears away the binding that keeps the book bound to the pedestal.

Dina analyzes while Rilissa works, noting the link between the book and the braziers that are attacking Rilissa. The book seems to be the key to disabling the trap, but it can be taken out of the room to do so.

Sha'kar, meanwhile, fails to spot anything notable in the passage as he switches his weapons.

Corragan watches the group's back, waiting for the ghost to reappear. He hears it, but never sees it as it rushes through the tomb and lashes out at Ignatz, who narrowly avoids its debilitating touch.

GM: Sha'kar's perception check: 1d20+7=16.

Details of Dina's discoveries are in the Book Room sblock below.

When you guys ready actions, can you post a summary of the power to save me the time it takes to look them up if they trigger?

Especially useful since I didn't track who took what from the armory. In your next post, can you guys list them since I didn't think of it before and don't have time to look it all up now?


[sblock=Enemy Actions]Jade Ghost: Move, charge to U8. Spectral Touch(+2 CA, +1 charge): 14 vs Ignatz' 16 Fort, miss.[/sblock]

[sblock=Combatants]-Party-
Corragan: L6, 17/28hp
Sha'kar: I3, 25/30hp
Rilissa: I6, 25/27hp, Book Trap
Ignatz: U7, 2+17/30hp
Dina: L5, 24/24hp

-Enemy-
Jade Ghost: U8
Jade Ghost(Undead): Minion. AC 19, Fort 16, Ref 18, Will 18. MBA: +8 vs Fort, 5 force damage and slowed(save ends). If the target is slowed already, the attack does +2 damage and the target is immobilized(save ends) instead of slowed. Spectral Resistance(Free, when reduced to 0 hp): The Jade Ghost makes a saving throw. On a success, the Jade Ghost gains 1 hp.

Effect Key: location, hp/max hp, damage related, TenT or TsnT, conditional, save ends, encounter[/sblock]

[sblock=Traps][sblock=Disarming the Traps]If you want to try to disable a trap, feel free to be creative and/or ask questions as I'm not posting specific solutions. It's not required to disable the traps, but it should be possible for each of them.[/sblock]

[sblock=Book Room Trap]Anyone who enters the room or starts their turn in it takes an attack: +5 vs Will, dominated(save ends).

While dominated, the domination will force the PC to leave the room through the south door, then attack fellow players with their best at-wills on any subsequent rounds they are dominated. If the PC can leave the room and still charge someone, they will do so.[/sblock]

[sblock=Incense Burner Trap]Anyone who enters the room or starts their turn in it takes an attack: +3 vs Fort, 1d6+4 poison damage and 5 ongoing poison damage and weakened(save ends both). Characters can ward themselves against the trap with Heal or Endurance.[/sblock]

[sblock=Armory Room Trap]Anyone who tries to take a weapon or armor from the rack or statues takes an attack: +5 vs AC, 1d12+2 damage. Warding: Normal Defense boosters (Aid Another, Total Defense).[/sblock]

[sblock=Trap Warding]As a minor action, make a DC10 check with the skills listed in the trap to ward yourself or help ward an adjacent character against the trap until the end of your next turn. If you beat the DC, the target gains +1 to their defense against the trap, +1 per 5 over the DC.[/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=Rooms, UPDATED][sblock=Book Room]The book requires 3 successful minor action Arcana checks from an adjacent PC to disable the trap. It may be taken out of the room. If the Arcana check fails by 5 or more, the trap makes an attack against the character who rolled it, regardless of whether they are in the Book Room or not.[/sblock]

[sblock=Armory Room]There are weapons, armor, and implements of all types and all are mundane but have one of the following properties. Both types of armor may be worn together.:
*Trap Seeker(Weapon): These weapons act as dowsing rods but for finding traps. Characters holding them gain +2 to all skills, attack, and damage rolls involving finding, warding against, and disabling traps in the Jade Tomb.
*Jade Bane (Weapon): These weapons gain +1 to hit the Jade Ghost and ignore its Spectral Resistance.
*Jade Fortified (Armor): Characters who take a piece of this armor can don it as a minor action. They gain +2 to all defenses against the Jade Ghost's attacks, +2 on saves against effects it inflicts, and can move through its square(provoking OAs as normal).
*Tomb Fortified (Armor): Characters who take a piece of this armor can don it as a minor action. They gain +2 to all defenses against trap attacks in the Jade Tomb, +2 on saves inflicted by traps, and DR2 against trap attacks while in the Tomb.[/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=Terrain]Stairs: The stairs take a move action to ascend (enter the map) or descend (leave the map).

Walls: The walls are fairly rough, DC 18 to climb. The arena is 2 squares tall with a forcefield shimmering over the top to keep the gladiators (read: you) in the arena.

Hallways: Hallways contain a mist that is light obscurement; anything 2 or more squares away is concealed, anything beyond has total concealment (can't be seen).[/sblock]

[sblock=Special Rules][sblock=Appease the Crowd]
*As a minor action, a PC may make a skill check to wow the crowd. If they succeed at the check, they gain +2 to their next d20 roll if they beat the DC, plus +2 per 5 by which they beat the DC. If the check is failed, the PC takes a -2 penalty to their next d20 roll, -2 more per 5 by which they miss the DC.

I.E, if the DC is 15, 1-5 would be -6, 6-10 would be -4, 11-14 would be -2, 15-19 would be +2, etc.

*All skill DCs will start at 15 and each individual skill's DC goes up by 2 per time the skill is used as the crowd gets more jaded. The DCs go up at the end of the round in which they are used. The DCs do not drop between arena rounds.

*Any skill can be used, as long as the player can provide relevant character action to back up the roll.

Current Skill DCs:
Athletics: 17
Endurance: 17
Heal: 17
History: 17
Perception: 17
Religion: 17
Others: 15[/sblock]

[sblock=Victory Condition]Treasures: To win, the group must find, collect, and escape with the three treasures. 1 has been found.[/sblock][/sblock]

Breathing a sigh of relief for finally extracting the book, Rilissa turns with a glint in her eye, as the trap finally catches her. She walks past the two companions at the southern door, and just as she gets past, turns at Dina, swinging her sword, with a faint green-tinged flame trailing the blade. Fortunately for Dina, Rilissa's luck with her blade has not changed, and she misses the swing.

OOC: I don't see why that matters. I was waiting by the entrance to see if you got dominated before you finished disarming the trap. Since you did get dominated, I moved next to the book and took over disarming the trap. Other than that I don't see how your actions affect mine.

OOC: Rilissa took the book last round, so when she got dominated this round and walked out to attack Dina, the book came with her.

OOC: Ah ok, it was very unclear. I thought our DM was saying it required 3 successful checks before the trap was disarmed and the book could be taken from the room. I thought the pedastal was the source of the trap, not the book itself.

But, I'll be wherever I need to be to disable the trap. If I don't have to move into the room because the book is already adjacent to me, I'll just make an additional checks instead of the minor and move actions I posted.


[sblock=Additional checks]Arcana (1d20+12=25)
Arcana (1d20+12=13)
Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes (1d6=3)

That's one additional success. The last check still fails, but Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes makes sure I don't fail by 5, thus I don't trigger the trap.[/sblock]

OOC: Put my spoils from the armory in the Status line in my stat block.


Ignatz is incensed by this interruption. "Hey, hyu schtupid ting," he snarls, stepping carefully back. "Jost stay dead, Hy iz tired of playingk vit hyu!" He's angry, but not furious, and he's clear-headed enough to think about the best way to attack. He takes another step back as he speaks, and then he launches himself like a missile off of the balls of his feet. His weapon tears through the ghost like it's not a ghost, and the thing fades away again. Ignatz spits at the ground where it... didn't actually stand at all. Hovered? Ignatz briefly reflects on the irony.

Move - Move to L4
Minor - N/A
Standard - Greenflame Blade at Dina (+7 vs. AC 17)

GM: While dominated, you only get 1 standard action. By the conditions of the domination listed in the trap you first objective is to leave the room, only attacking if you can charge someone on the way out. After that, your job is to do as much damage to the team as possible.

Since you couldn't charge and also leave the room, your single action was the move.

As for the book, as long as you are adjacent to it, you can attempt to disable it and right now it's on Relissa in L4. I forgot to add that you can use Thievery in addition to Arcana (since Thievery's primary role is disabling all kinds of traps) with the same DC.
