Part 3: Into the Citadel

[Zanaikin]

Grapple checks:
T3: 20+15 = 35 (7dmg)
T4: 4+15 = 19
T5: 12+15 = 27 (7dmg)

Epicette calls Cernandlon to get up here and nail the tiefling trying to get away (T3).

She then curses T4 with an Evil Eye hex (-4 to attack rolls and CMB; mythic for 1 rnd, then auto effect for 1rnd, then Will DC21 for 7rnds)

[littleangryman]

Malorix wanders into the kitchen as well, and tries to determine if any of Henric's discoveries hold any nasty Abyssal surprises. (know: Planes 16+10=26)

DM Edit: Malorix's knowledge of otherworld entities grants him no insight. Also: how are you trying to determine? picking up a jar? opening one? poking it with a stick? sniffing it?

[Squall255]

Anyone who hears what Henric says may try a Knowledge [Dungeoneering] check.

[Sajuuk]

(Knowledge [Dungeoneering]: 1d20+11 = 29)

"DON'T open those jars, they contain oozes!" Cernandlon shouts, using his seldom-used authoritative tone voice.

Cernandlon moves up to BV38 and shoots T3.

(Attack [Vital Strike, Conductive, Steel Arrow]: 1d20+15 = 23)
(Damage: 2d6+4+2d6+2d6+3 = 42 magic piercing damage)

[Laharl]

Henric shudders and Very Carefully puts it back down.

(Just how heavy are these things? I...might want to keep one for emergencies.)

[Squall255]

Cernandlon's arrow strikes true and T3 ceases his struggling due to an acute case of steel and wood poisoning.

Malorix and Henric are inspecting a stone jar, Henric is unable to lift it back up onto the shelf (You estimate it to be around 100lbs +/- 25ish) and settles for setting it on the ground.

Daveed has opened the door and looked into the kitchen.

Epicette is hexing tieflings while covering the rear. (Black Tentacles ends after your turn on Round 13)

T4 and T5 struggle uselessly against the tentacles, suffering from ill luck and only proceed to get themselves more tangled.

more movement and muffled shouting comes from the south (Perception to see if you can make out the words)

Round 9!

[Laharl]

(Perception 1d20+11=20)

[Zanaikin]

With both enemies properly hexed, Epicette leaves the decision of whether to kill them or not to Cernandlon. She zips south to the next room. If she sees no new enemies, then she turns her Flight Hex off.

(She also opens her bag to let out a Unseen Crafter/Servant and let it open door BT47)

Grapple:
T4: 9+15 = 24 (7dmg)
T5: 9+15 = 24 (6dmg)
CMB vs CMD30 to break from grapple.

[Mr_Praetorian]

Daveed advances south.

[Laharl]

"Shh, I hear voices from the south. Could be half-orc, dwarf, or human."

[littleangryman]

Malorix sheepishly helps Henric set the jar back onto the floor. "Well that would have been a nasty surprise. Wonder if there's a good way to make it *their* nasty surprise."

He also keeps up with the party.

[Sajuuk]

Cernandlon is hesitant to expend any additional arrows on targets that are essentially incapacitated, so he hurries south and rejoins the group.
(Double move to BV50)

[Squall255]

T4 and T5 are struggling uselessly thanks to those evil eye hexes. As you make your way into this room, you hear the voice clearer now (you all have approximately a +10 mod or higher so I'm assuming most of you make the DC 15 to hear). It sounds like a dwarven commander hurrying his troops to get their gear on. You can hear the clanging of metal as a respectable number of dwarves are hurrying to follow commands. (These sounds are from 10 and 11, which are closed and open away from you, so you can try to open as a swift action while trying to move through the doorway)

Round 10!

[littleangryman]

Malorix moves to roughly the center of the room and casts Bless on the party (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/spel ... html#bless) because he has a feeling they'll need to be buffed for this fight.

[Mr_Praetorian]

Daveed kicks in the door 10, weapon and shield ready.
