Ch. 9: More Tasloi at the Gate

Dungeon Master (GM): Hello Folks!   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: hey there   Maevis Silverleaf: Hi   Dungeon Master (GM): Hello Christopher! Ok, we left off with Coal running around in fear, and now he's going down cavern corridors he's familiar with.   Dungeon Master (GM): You fellows can start deciding what to do next here!   Balen: Yellow line is still "solid" web wall?   Dungeon Master (GM): yes unless the caster dispels it or it's cut through and or burned   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: Sheila will chase after coal as he runs past her with no intention of stopping   Balen: Is there truly a gap from above Maevis west to Sheila?   Dungeon Master (GM): no, i just did not draw the line completely to the wall   Maevis Silverleaf: Well once Coal regains his senses we dispel the web and head North?   Dungeon Master (GM): so sheila will have moved from where her token is now to be in the passage where coal would be coming up, so ok we also have camlin, Phicenta, cassandra and rowan, along the route Coal will be running Coal will tell you there is a yuan-ti and more Tasloi north of the webbing   GreyWolfVT (Grax): well we can always make Rowan or Cass try and stop Coal Cass might be able to use a spell to stop him   Dungeon Master (GM): for the people in the passage where coal will be running up just give me a D20 roll to hit his AC to try to grapple him   Maevis Silverleaf: Maevis has tried and failed   Dungeon Master (GM): he is AC 1   GreyWolfVT (Grax): i don't even see a Coal token how the hell did he get way back there   Dungeon Master (GM): he's just there to show where he'll be going   GreyWolfVT (Grax): ah ok well then i dk who can stop him that far away where is that giant spider when you need it   Dungeon Master (GM): let's start with Rown trying to stop him i'll roll that one rolling 1d20( 6 ) = 6 he missed him now cassandra i will roll her rolling 1d20( 2 ) = 2   Dungeon Master (GM): she couldn't grab him now Xilicien] i'll get him rolling  8 = 8   Now Sheila Sheila the Human Cleric, WRESTLES with Coal Blackstone enemy!

COuld Tasha's Uncontrollable Hideous Laughter or ALternate Reality cause Coal to stop?   GreyWolfVT (Grax): we could have just tried to web him   Maevis Silverleaf: rolling 1d20( 7 ) = 7   Dungeon Master (GM): ha ha yea   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: you cant web him, he has the ring of free action, he will run right through it as if it were not there   Dungeon Master (GM): coal will essentially run right out of the cave given that he runs ~360 ft / round   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: Maybe he will find Quint while he is out there   Dungeon Master (GM): so does anyone besides Sheila want to chase after him or what other actions here?

Balen: What about casting the reverse of Enlarge (again, guessing at what Cassandra has available). If he was 30% of his size, wouldn't that reduce the ground he covers/lower his speed?   Dungeon Master (GM): Yes, indeed it would!   GreyWolfVT (Grax): fine we could have fireballed his ass   Dungeon Master (GM): Quint will not be around yet for sure   GreyWolfVT (Grax): :P   Dungeon Master (GM): heh   Maevis Silverleaf: I tried to ;)   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: let him run.. sheila is in pursuit and they will catch up when he calms down   Dungeon Master (GM): Hello Devin! ok on that Shadowfox   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: although you can always complicate things with random monster encounters.. lol   Dungeon Master (GM): uh huh ok so now you catch up with coal outside of the cave basically running along the riverbank until he finally stops when the fear spell weakens and dies. so now where will the rest of you be inside the cave as they make their way back in to regroup   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: I have a short conversation with him about what the hell was that all about and then convince him to go back to the party.   GreyWolfVT (Grax): that was a huge backtracking time waster there damn weak willed Coal   Dungeon Master (GM): Coal would tell you that he saw the Yuan-Ti and the tasloi to the north and that there is a huge gate to the south with tasloi all around.   Maevis Silverleaf: Like I suggested once their back dispel the webbing and try going North   Balen The Human Bard Keeping my eyes on the strength of the web wall and looking for any movement from anything within   Dungeon Master (GM): ok so when the webbing is dispelled where will the party be?   Dungeon Master (GM): place the party where you want them when the webbing disappears.   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: Sheila asks how long will the web last? If we go south and fight the Tasloi by the gate, we could use the web as a defense on our back side   Dungeon Master (GM): 70 minutes   GreyWolfVT (Grax): I'm fine where i have Grax   Dungeon Master (GM): let's say it's ~50 now, to account for Coal running off and coming back.   Maevis Silverleaf: Hm that should be enough to go South first   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: at least long enough to go check out what's the gate down there for   GreyWolfVT (Grax): ok   GreyWolfVT (Grax): fair enough   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: ok   Maevis Silverleaf: So South it is?   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: I am game   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, one vote to go north after dispelling one vote to go south to check the gate 2 to go south   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: I vote south first   Balen: does the floor fall away (cliff) to the south of where we are? (Where the arrow on the map is?) Can Cassandra take a scouting flight to see what's down there?   Devin M.: I'm good for seeing what's south.   Dungeon Master (GM): no that is just a break indicating 400 ft more of passage   GreyWolfVT (Grax): south works for me as well   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: So lets move.. we have almost an hour before we have to worry about our back defenses   Balen The Human Bard Points south and gives a "thumbs up".   Dungeon Master (GM): are you approaching with a light source?   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: yes.   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: humans are among us Shiela is going to use her last heal on Grax before we get into another fight   Dungeon Master (GM): as you approach the gate, you see two groups of tasloi to either side and they had noticed the light and heard the commotion and saw coal running around.   Sheila, praying to Ra, and laying a hand upon the injured Grax, casts a CURE LIGHT WOUNDS Spell! Level 1 Cleric * Necromatic (reversible) Components V,S Casting Time 5  Segments Range Touch Duration Permanent Area of Effect Creature Touched Saving Throw None Healing:   2  Hit Points   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: damn.. that sucked   Dungeon Master (GM): ok what do you do?   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: good time for a fire ball   Maevis Silverleaf: Maevis will try to calm them try to get us by them   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   GreyWolfVT (Grax): hmm ok

Those not Charmed will listen to the bard for 1 full round. Charmed Creatures are subject to ‘Suggestion’, if the bard utilizes it, the charmed creatures must save vs petrification at -2 on their die rolls or be subject to the suggestion. Loud noise or physical attack will negate charm but not suggestion. This will last for 1 Turn (10 rounds) or 1 round per level of the Bard, which ever is better. (From Maevis Silverleaf):  Chance to Charm is 34%: Rolling  26 %   Balen The Human Bard begins attempting to rally his allies.

Level 4 Magic-User * Enchantment / Charm Components V,S,M Casting Time 4  Segments Range 120 ft /  120 yds outdoors Duration 2  rounds +  1  round / level:  9  Rounds Area of Effect Up to  60 ft x  60 ft square Saving Throw Special Effects:  This spell causes confusion in one or more creatures within spell range, creating indecision and the inability to take effective action. Confused creatures will react as follows: Die Roll Action: 01–10 Wander away (unless prevented) for 1 turn 11–60 Stand confused for 1 round (then roll again) 61–80 Attack nearest creature for 1 round (then roll again) 81–91 Attack druid or his party for 1 round (then roll again) 92-100 Act Normally for 1 round (then roll again) It will affect  10  creatures, plus a possible additional number of creatures determined by subtracting the level or number of hit dice of the strongest opponent creature within the spell range and area of effect from the level of the magic-user who cast the spell of confusion. All creatures affected will be those closest to the wizard within the area of effect. Each affected creature must make a saving throw each round, unless they are caused to “wander away for 1 turn” in which case they will go as far away from the magic-user as is possible in one turn of normal movement, as conditions permit. All saving throws are at -2. Confused creatures act according to the table of actions shown above, but saving throws and actions are checked at the beginning of each round.

Dungeon Master (GM): you want the spell centered on that specific tasloi?   Maevis Silverleaf: On those not charmed   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: 60x60 will get them all   Dungeon Master (GM): ok but i still need to know the center of the spell   Xilicien: Which ones are charmed?

Each of them have shuttered windows. The gate itself is made of grillwork the gate is closed and has a visible large lock on this side. You noticed a similar gate beyond this one   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: Are any of the other creatures moving towards us?   Maevis Silverleaf: Back   Dungeon Master (GM): no, so long as the bard keeps playing   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: Maevis, Tellt hem to unlock the door tell them   Maevis Silverleaf: Do they understand me if I tell them something?   Dungeon Master (GM): they just stand there smiling at you   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: dang search the dead for keys   Dungeon Master (GM): roll a 1d100 i'll say a 50% chance one of these have it   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: rolling 1d100( 49 ) = 49   Dungeon Master (GM): ok you find a key on one   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: I will move to the gate keeping an eye on thoise windows   Dungeon Master (GM): there is actually a 2nd gate but it's not on the map it would be where i drew the line   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: The first gate has the lock, correct?   Dungeon Master (GM): the one you are at yes   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: I try the key in the lock   Dungeon Master (GM): it works, the lock comes undone   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: I put the lock and key in my bag of holding   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: I swing the gate open What do you think we do with these things?   Dungeon Master (GM): it is too heavy for just coal to pull open   GreyWolfVT (Grax): i dk tie em up i guess or kill em   Maevis Silverleaf: We could kil them   GreyWolfVT (Grax): Grax can help with the gate if that is all it takes   Dungeon Master (GM): what are your strength scores?   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: 15 for coal, Grax has 16 STR   Dungeon Master (GM): Ok, so the combined strength of  the both of you manage to pull open the gate   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: Sheila would rather not kill them if there was any other way to get them to not attack us. But we cant have Maevis play all day here   Maevis Silverleaf: Tie them up then   Dungeon Master (GM): you combined strength was enough to pull it open grax   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: I think if we try anything on them it may break the charm.. but you can try   Dungeon Master (GM): if they deem it harmful to them definitely it will   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: Sheila picks up her mace by the way   Balen The Human Bard Says, "Can we not just "knock them out" for now? Non-lethal damage? Isn't that what Grax is good at?"   GreyWolfVT (Grax): i did offer to tie them up but we then lose the rope required to tie each up   Dungeon Master (GM): you need to explain why being tied is of benefit to them but they apparently don't know the language the magic from the music and vocalizations keep them charmed   Maevis Silverleaf: Hm Knock them out then?

Dungeon Master (GM): how would you do that?   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: Coal says: Hey whatever is good for the party is good for me.. we cant have them coming up behind us.   Dungeon Master (GM): i'm checking something so give me a moment as you talk here   Balen: Can we not hit them with the flats of our blades in an attempt to knock them unconscious, rather than draw blood/kill them?   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: So unless I am mistaken, if we attack them in any way it breaks the charm.   Dungeon Master (GM): you could certainly try to give them severe concussions but i need to see how you go about doing it   Maevis Silverleaf: Another idea I keep playing and we heard them to move ahead of us Would that work Can we move them like cows?   Dungeon Master (GM): i would assume they would follow you around yes   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: So as long as your not threatening them I think maybe w can stick them in one of these rooms maybe? Are there doors on these side outbuildings, or just windows?   Dungeon Master (GM): yes there are doors on the ground floor and shuttered windows above them   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: go to the one on the right and have the thief check the door   Dungeon Master (GM): ok as coal and grax go for the door the windows open and one javelin comes flying out of each one   Shadowfox: Coal & Sheila: Screw it just kill them   Tasloi #11 -C3a, Attacks with the JAVELIN at Grax enemy!
