Part 2: Lair of the Vile and Vicious

[Zanaikin]

(Dave: yeah. Three letter words should fit in hostile squares fine.)

Epicette stared at Henric, expressionless except for the bitterness in her gaze as she tried to decide. Quiet few seconds passed before the owl hooted in her hands. "Yeah... Reverie's her name," she responded with noncommittal words as she turned away, "at least not much happened this time. I'm sorry for holding everyone up. Let's just be on."

Perching Reverie back on her shoulders, she knelt down and quietly busied herself for the moment by searching the dead mongrelmen.

( Perception take10+11 = 21 )

( active Perception to search for traps or treasure from this point on in the lair: take10+11 = 21 )

[Laharl]

Henric bows his head and closes his eyes for a second before busying himself.

(You could get one letter and a space into those squares, I think. If there's no space don't worry about it - I need to pay better attention to posts anyway.)

[Squall255]

Loot found on the mongrelmen:

2x Crossbow
20x crossbow bolt
2x club


Daveed puts his ear to the door and doesn't hear much of anything. Once throughout the minute he hears what might be the rustling of a cloth of some kind.

no traps detected

[Mr_Praetorian]

(Daveed grabs a crossbow and half the bolts).

"Alright everyone, we're going to move in." Daveed whispers.

"Malorix and I will proceed in first, Sir Cernandlon will follow and be ready to watch our flanks. Everyone else hold up the rear and make use of ranged attacks.

We move on three... two..."

[Sajuuk]

Cernandlon also searches for traps, and makes ready to follow Malorix and Daveed.
(Perception: 1d20+8: 26 (25 vs non-traps, 27 vs evil outsiders))

[Zanaikin]

Epicette refills her ammo box to full, pulls the chain shirt back on, and made sure Gwerm is caught up to the rear of the group (goes back to get him if he hasn't) before following...
( Perception 7+11 = 18 )
( Reverie Perception 1+11... still resting/recovering with blurry eyes )

(leaving active perception to search note in signature until I stop it -- consider it the Neverwinter Night mode )
(remaining xbow + bolts added to party loot; ditching the worthless clubs)

[littleangryman]

(Malorix claims the other crossbow and the remainder of the bolts, seeing as he has no ranged attack.) Malorix readies his sword and nods grimly. "All right. Ready when you are."

[Mr_Praetorian]

"One!"

Daveed throw's open the door, and uses his remaining move action to storm into the room.

[Squall255]

Daveed opens the door and hurries in hoping to get the surprise on any inhabitants. Malorix follows right on his heels, and they are quite pleased to find that there are 2 mongrelmen sleeping who haven't noticed the party yet. (now in room H2)

[Mr_Praetorian]

Daveed shoots a surprise glance at Mallorix, before whispering "I'll knock one out, and you prepare to take the other one hostage."

(When Mallorix is is ready, Daveed moves over to the nearest mongrelman as silently as he can, and attempts to knock him out.
Stealth: 1d20-7= 7
Nonlethal CDG: 24 nonlethal)

[Squall255]

As Daveed raises the morningstar over his head and strikes down, there is a distinct Crunch as the mongrelman's mishapen face caves with the impact. As he retracts his weapon with a look of surprise, two drops of blood run down some of the spikes of his weapon and fall on the corpse that it has just created.

After the thud, the other mongrelman starts to move, and for a moment, Daveed and Malorix fear that they have woken him up! Fortunately for them, the thud merely made him roll over.

[Mr_Praetorian]

Daveed tensely meets eyes with Mallorix as they watch the other Mongrelman tussle about.

"Maybe you should try?" he whispers.

[Zanaikin]

Epicette readies a slumber hex on the remaining mongrelman in case he wakes up. (DC 15)

[littleangryman]

"Indeed." Malorix introduces the sleeping mongrelman to his sword pommel. (nonlethal CDG, 17 nonlethal)

(Er.... that DOES work, right? You can do nonlethal with CDGs?)

[Mr_Praetorian]

(Yes, and it's max damage).
