A Paid Trip to Spellhold [D&D 4e]

[Voda Vosa]

Back on track.

The heroes prepare themselves to open the doors of the last room. Coordinately, Cliff and Izera open the doors at the same time, revealing the remaining thieves: The leader and his lackey. They are hidden behind a hasty constructed barricade of crates, already lifting their daggers to attack the intruders. However, they seem to be surprised by the fact that Cliff Taran Issia and Thurinar are on the south door.
The githzerai quickly notes some planks of the wooden floor and odd. Her knee vision spots loose parts, and something underneath. A trap most certainly.
Taran also notes something on the ceiling, right next to the barricade. Another trap perhaps. His conjecture quickly proves true, as a turret emerges from the trapdoor, when the leader pulls a leaver next to him. The thug also tries to hit Izera flipping his dagger at her, but his aim proves poor this time, and the knife sticks on the wooden door.

Traps and obstacles. You should thank Izera and Taran for their perception

Barricade of Crates:
It takes a DC: 15 athletics or acrobatics to stand over the barricade, or you can attack the crates (automatic hit, HP:10) to bash them. If you destroy the crates, you can step normally in the spot, but it becomes difficult terrain.

Pits:
If you step on the false floor, you can fall into the pit. You can try the next countermeasures:
✦ An adjacent character can disable the trap with a DC 25
Thievery check (standard action). The floor becomes safe.
✦ A character who makes an Athletics check (DC 11, or DC
17 without a running start) can jump over the pit.
✦ A character can climb out with a DC 15 Athletics check.

Turret:
It will hit hard, and it's not easy to destroy: AC 16, other defenses 13;
hp 38. You can attemt to reach the leaver, which is next to S6 on the wall.

Current Actions:
S6: Activates turret, attacks Izera: Miss

OOC: Bump, combat is waiting!

 

[Keia]

Izera, Female Githzerai Avenger

Izera noted the location of the false floor and made a running start over the area in question, ducking the fire of the turret as she moved. Muttering under her breath, she swung the large balde in her hands, but the blows seemed ineffective against the turret.







OOC: Move action: Running leap over false floors. Check: 1d20+12=18. Moving through M3, L3, K3-jumped over, J3, I2, H2, G2, F2. Minor: Emnity on Turret. Standard action: Overwhelming Strike on turret: 1d20+7-5=10 and 1d20+7-5=5, both misses (-5 to attack because of running).

 

[CaBaNa]

ooc: Thurinar move into doorway at E5, minor draw weapon, standard drop daily burst 1 centered on d3, so as to hit crates and turret and both bandits. +7 vs AC, on a hit, 1d12+2d6+5 damage, on a miss half damage.

 

[Theroc]

Issia forms a ball of frozen magic in her hands, lifting it before exhaling violently, launching the sphere at the turrent directly before her, hoping to smash it into smithereens before it had a chance to cause much damage.

[sblock=Actions]
Standard: Dragonfrost at turret, 1d20+4=11, 1d8+8=9 11 vs Fort(failure)[/sblock]

 

[Velmont]

Cliff moves next to the Turret, but instead decide to tear down the barricade.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Move to E3 and attack barricade at D3[/SBLOCK]

 

[Voda Vosa]

The heroes seem lacking precision, but the elven seeker moves ahead and release a mighty strike that catches both shadow thieves and the turret.
Cliff bashes the crate before him, as well as Taran, whose seed spread fire through the battlefield.
Izera can reach the turret, and Daven can't find his mark too.
The counterattack of the evil bandits is hard. The turret targets the githzerai, which proves to be an easy target under the machine, which puts a crossbow bolt in her chest!
The bandit lashes out at the shifter, catching him off guard, and cleaving his sword deep through the armor, leaving a poisonous gift.
The thieves' captain lashes at the dwarf, and poisons him as well.

Taran

Taran, as the fey panther with the manticore tail, advances. His volley of spikes misses, but hinders the thieves.

[Theroc]

Issia grumbles at her previous failure, immediately whipping up another icy sphere to blast at the trap, this time striking with wicked force, causing portions to crack and become brittle. She smiled viciously, preparing to 'charge' in after her impromptu comrades.

[sblock=Actions]
Dragonfrost on turret: 1d20+4=22, 1d8+8=10 22 vs fortitude, 10 damage[/sblock]
