Still looking for posts

I would like to post the next turn. Any input from Daren, Matt Falk or Matt Hampton or should I proceed without you?

I would like to get back on track and post turns on a regular basis but player participation is required.

Added link to pop-up dice roller

Looks like the other dice roller may not be coming back. I have been looking for alternatives.

Check out the link to the right. It will open a smaller window with a D20 dice roller. It can be opened from any screen but only one version of the popup window will open at a time.

Let me know what you think.

Render moved forward to attack the minotaur skeleton. Before he could close to melee, the monster struck the dwarf with a claw. The attack inflicted 8 damage. Once inside its reach he struck with his warhammer dealing 12 damage. The monster attacked with both claws. Both hit the dwarf dealing an additional 19 damage. To make matters worse, another skeleton moved forward and attacked Render. It too slashed with a claw. The monster scored a critical hit, inflicting another 10 damage.

Clint moved to the corner and let fly and arrow at the hobgoblin. The arrow hit for 7 damage. The rogue was too far away to strike a vital location easily. Henpeck stepped forward and slashed the skeleton that had advanced. The fighter’s bastard sword crushed the monster with a mighty blow that dealt 10 damage and killed it. Another skeleton moved forward to take the fallen’s place. It slashed at Henpeck but missed the fighter with its claw. Another skeleton moved forward but had nowhere to move that would allow it to engage an enemy.

Thurstan’s wolf moved forward and attacked the new skeleton. The jaws of the wolf clamped down for 2 damage and pulled the monster to the ground. Thurstan moved forward and cast a Bless spell. Simone moved closer to the fight but could not get close enough to help her master, Render. The last skeleton moved forward but it too could not engage the enemy.

Banjo moved as close to the fight as he could. Not able to see an enemy other than the minotaur skeleton or the tripped skeleton, the sorcerer targeted the Minotaur skeleton with a Magic Missile spell. The missiles dealt 8 damage to the monster.

The hobgoblin moved closer to the pool and the dragon statue. It cast a spell, Spiritual Weapon, which targeted Banjo. The magical weapon struck the sorcerer for 7 damage. Torvald moved to Banjo’s aid and lay on hands for 3 healing.

The doors to the east are all slightly ajar. These lead into vaults behind the statues.

A smashed set of double doors lie at the northernmost point of the room. They once concealed a ledge and shaft leading down. The ledge is covered in rubble, the remains of the large stone doors. A rope ladder is currently affixed to the ledge and dangles over the edge.

A thin wall cordons and oddly shaped inner chamber, inside which a statue of a gold dragon spits water into a clear pool. Near you, the skeleton of a massive horned humanoid stands. Beyond that and the statue are four humanoid skeletons. A hobgoblin dresses in a black breastplate stands near them. He bears the symbol of Urgathoa around his neck.

Looking for Posts

I still need posts from Dave, Matt H, Matt F and Daren for turn 63.

I will wait until tomorrow before I post results. I would like everyone to chime in but I will post without if need be.

Did the group ever decide on the division of treasure?

Barrow of the Forgotten King - GM Turn Post 63

A wide hallway stretches north and south here. Each end of the passage is a blank wall, although the northern part of each end appears to be an opening.

To the west, the hall ends at a ladder of iron rungs leading down to a narrow hallway that runs north. Scenes of battle are engraved on the wall. The passage seems to continue to the east around a corner.

To the east, a ladder of iron rungs leads down to a wide hall occupied by four grim statues of men in black armor, each holding a shield in front of his legs and feet. In the far northeast corner of this landing is a statue of a minotaur holding a longspear, the haft resting on the ground and the tip affixed to the ceiling.. Vault doors behind each of the statues hang ajar. On the opposite wall, engravings depict a battle between humanoid armies. The passage seems to continue to the west around a corner.

What do you do next?

Clint attempts to pick the lock using the new tools taken from the wererat. The lock proves too difficult for the rogue but he remembers that the rat also had a key. This proves to be what is needed and the door opens. Henpeck, the new fighter, opens the door to the room beyond and enters. Render and Simone follow.

New Marching Order Needed

I need a new single-file and double-file marching order now that we have a new mix of characters. Please include the animals in the orders.

Please post your turns by 10:00 PM

Please post your turns by 10:00 PM tonight.

Posted New Character Summary File

I posted a new character file on my web site, http://sites.google.com/site/zombiehomepage/Home/zombie-s-d-d-pathfinder-page/pathfinder-play-by-blog.

It is called PBBCharactersNew.xls and is in the attachments section. I left the old file, PBBCharacters.xls as a reference.

I did my best to make sure things were correct. Please review for accuracy. You collectively need to decide how to divide the treasure. All of the items should be accounted for. I added a column for Carried by to the treasure tab. If you plan on stashing treasure somewhre rather than carry it, let me know where you plan to leave it. If you plan not to keep an item, please tell me so that I can remove it from the list.

Barrow of the Forgotten King - GM Turn Post 62

The group decided to rest in the southern crypt to recover and replenish. Jean and Blunderbuss decided to head back to town and seek adventure elsewhere. The barbarian had a premonition of something bad about to happen and the ranger deemed it wise to trust intuition. They bid farewell to the rest of the party and offered promises to send reinforcements once they returned to Kingsholm.

The group spent the night and recovered spells and hit points. Shortly before breaking camp, strangers arrived. They are encountered in the main hall. One was a male human fighter wearing banded mail and wielding a bastard sword. The other was a male dwarf accompanied by a female lion.

What do you do next?

The scroll reads “We who rest still long to serve. If you seek the same, take our goods and be blessed. If greed moved this stone and not a true heart, may our curse find you ere we awake.”

Thurstan and Banjo examine the magical treasure and believe it to be the following:

Cloak of Resistance +1
Elixir of Vision (+10 perception checks for 1 hour)
Ephod of Authority (Effective cleric level is treated as one level higher when channeling positive energy. Part of a set of items called the Vestments of Divinity)
Bracers of Armor +1
Efficient Quiver
+1 Rapier

Please advise how you divide the treasure.
