Match Two: The Jade Tomb, Round 21

As Ignatz snatches the last treasure, the bear-trap hidden in the lid and amidst the coins bangs shut, just barely missing him. The others head out through the tomb...

GM: [MENTION=6677223]Faraque[/MENTION], at the end of your post you state "save vs slowed" but I don't see a roll? You can't cut corners, so you Ignatz had to run(still hit), and Corragan ended in E11

[sblock=Enemy Actions]Open Chest Trap(Interrupt, when Ignatz reaches for the treasure): 11 vs Ignatz' 14 Ref, miss.[/sblock]

[sblock=Combatants]-Party-
Corragan: E11, 21/28hp

-Enemy-
Jade Ghost: Dissipated
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=Jade Tomb Trap]Any character entering or starting their turn in the tomb summons a manifestation of the Jade Ghost into an adjacent square that immediately attacks them and then must be destroyed normally.[/sblock]

[sblock=Mist Trap]Anyone who enters or starts their turn in the mist room takes an attack: +5 vs Will, teleported into a random trap room elsewhere in the dungeon, activating the trap, then immobilized(save ends).

Destroying the trap: The trap has 30hp, 15 AC, and 13 to other defenses.

Warding: Arcana, Dungeoneering[/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).

Warding: Heal, 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][sblock=Sarcophagus Room]Engraved upon the side of the Sarcophagus is the following:

I HAVE THE FATE OF A CAT, BUT ETCHED IN STONE
I WEAR MANY FACES, BUT THEY ARE ALL THE SAME
I CANNOT BE KILLED, BUT CAN BE DESTROYED
THOUGH CURSED ARE THOSE WHO TAKE FROM MY TROVE
[/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
Arcana: 17
Endurance: 17
Heal: 17
History: 17

With one last effort, Dina destroys the statue in front of her and then she heads off to join the others.

[WEContact]

Ignatz rushes ahead to break apart more statues, leaving closer ones behind for the less fleet-footed to dismantle. His hard claws only groove the brittle stone, however, and he snorts in disdain.

[Medina]

You can't cut corners, so you Ignatz had to run(still hit), and Corragan ended in E11

OOC: It doesn't matter, and I'll play it as Corragan in E11, but the only diagonal move he needed to make was F13 to E12 and I can't see any reason that that should be blocked

Remembering the next room mirrors this one, Corragan focuses his will and calls on the rocks in the next room to shatter, sundering the statues ahead

[Faraque]

OOC: [MENTION=60965]Iron Sky[/MENTION], it was actually a copy-paste mistake. I had saved vs the slow the previous round, and didn't delete it. My bad.

Fearing the curse of the tomb, and knowing it's time to leave, Rilissa divests herself of the ill gotten gains, dropping the pieces as she moves towards the stairs at the entrance.

Match Two: The Jade Tomb, Round 22

The ghost comes shrieking into existence again and, upon seeing the last treasure is gone, lets out a bone-chilling wail. Suddenly, the mist closes in, tearing at everyone and especially those carrying items from the tomb.

The ghost then charges shrieking at Dina.

GM: Good timing Faraque. Check the Mist Curse in the Enemy Actions to see how much ongoing damage you guys are taking. Once you reach one of the squares of stairs, you're free from the dungeon.

[sblock=Enemy Actions]Jade Ghost: Activate curse. Charge to I18, Spectral Touch(+1 charge): 18 vs Dina's 11 Fort, hit, 5 damage and slowed(save ends).

Mist Curse: Each character takes 1 ongoing damage a round until out of the tomb. This ongoing damage increases by 1 per item taken from the Armory, or one of the three treasures. Getting rid of the now-cursed weapons or armor takes a minor action and allows a save to drop the offending item. Treasure can be handed back and forth freely between adjacent party members.[/sblock]

Spectral Resistance(Free, when reduced to 0 hp): The Jade Ghost makes a saving throw. On a success, the Jade Ghost gains 1 hp.

[Son of Meepo]

Dina tries to fend off the ghost with her spear, but it continues to avoid her attacks. Failing that, she tries to recall some bit of knowledge that will aid her, but she's having a hard time concentrating.

"Someone want to come get this one?"

[sblock=Actions]Start of Turn: Dina takes 1 damage (18/24 hp)

[Faraque]

Hearing Dina's plaintive cry of distress, Rilissa runs recklessly back towards the call. "Those of you with the treasures, get them out of here! Don't stop moving!"

While running, she starts the arcane gesture to trigger her Aegis, and upon reaching range of the ghost, triggers it.
