Aeter (DM):
When last we left our adventuring party, they had entered the Kopru ruins beneath Cauldron which had apparently become a lair for the Ebon Triad's members. Their mission? Seek out all the Wands of Control Water to save the city above from the torrential rainfall. So far, they've entered the ruins without raising any alarms, found a single wand from the pit full of nasty leach-like monsters, tricked a group of bandits, and chosen the second door in which to enter. Argios the Red had elected to take the lead after Castellan fell very not-so-gracefully into the last trap while Tia checked for traps. Which, thankfully, was not trapped.
Erialistia "Tia" Culnamo:
Seeing that it wasn't trapped, Tia stood out of the way, body flush with the wall as she reached over to slowly turn the door knob and open it, leaving Arigos as the first thing anything/one saw when the door opened.
* Enzek nods. Though to Castellan's credit, falling into that pit did lead them to the first of the wands. Life is funny sometimes!
Argios the Red:
Argios nodded to Tia when she signaled that the door was all-clear. He raised his shield defensively, reaching forward cautiously with the hand that had the axe in it to lightly nudge the swiveling door. Within was what appeared to be a simple, empty room; though, the ceiling seemed to rise remarkably far up here.
Castellan Stillwind:
Castellan seemed more than pleased to hang back this time. Those bloodsuckers had sapped his strength, and he was in little mood to lead the charge anywhere as a result.
* Enzek loads up his crossbow and stands at Argios' side, ready to back his brother up.
Argios the Red:
Argios glanced once more at the group before taking the first steps in, his shield raised defensively as he lurked in the doorway. (Perception checks, everyone who is looking into the room. )_
Castellan Stillwind:
« 1d20+2 = 9 + 2 = 11 »
Enzek:
« 1d20+10 = 7 + 10 = 17 »
Erialistia "Tia" Culnamo:
« 1d20+6 = 3 + 6 = 9 »
Argios the Red:
« 1d20 = 6 »
Argios the Red:
Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, Argios took another step within -- and immediately regretted it. The floor gave out from under him; though, unlike what happened to Castellan, it was not a pit. The floor seemed to just 'step down' about six inches, a forest of tiny spikes jutting up through where the floor once was. Far above, a balcony jutted from the wall about twenty feet up, and faces glared down from the balcony. "INTRUDERS!"
Argios the Red:
« 1d20+14 = 5 + 14 = 19 »
Argios the Red:
Trap does not go through Argios's boots.
Argios the Red:
Roll initiative.
Castellan Stillwind:
Initiative: « 1d20+1 = 14 + 1 = 15 »
Castellan Stillwind:
((It's like a punji trap.))
Erialistia:
Initiative: « 1d20+8 = 18 + 8 = 26 »
Enzek:
Initiative: « 1d20+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 »
Enzek:
(( I'm not familiar with that term unfortunately. ))
Argios the Red:
« 1d20+1 = 8 + 1 = 9 »
Castellan has received initiative.

Erialistia has received initiative.
Erialistia "Tia" Culnamo:
Tia frowned as she saw and heard the thud, followed by the bellowing voice. "You've gotta be kidding me," she muttered under her breath. Her eyes glanced over the room frantically for any sign of stairs, ladders, or switches that would help them get up to their attackers. « 1d20+6 = 4 + 6 = 10 »
Aeter (DM):
Tia could spot a knotted rope that lead up to t he balcony hanging in a loop off the balcony. Unfortunately, it wasn't within reach at the moment.
Erialistia "Tia" Culnamo:
Tia tugged her crossbow from her back and loaded it. With her Island of Blades stance, she aimed for Sorkalath and fired her first shot. She needed to buy some time to figure out how to get onto that balcony. « 1d20+6 = 5 + 6 = 11 »
Castellan Stillwind:
((Drawing and loading's a whole turn.))
Sorkalath (Alleybasher):
Three arrows flew down from the balcony towards Argios.
Sorkalath (Alleybasher):
« 1d20+4 = 12 + 4 = 16 »« 1d20+4 = 10 + 4 = 14 »« 1d20+4 = 17 + 4 = 21 »
Sorkalath (Alleybasher):
All miss.
Castellan has received initiative.
Castellan Stillwind:
Castellan can't see too much through the door, but the angle those arrows came down from was quite steep. They must have been high up. He began to murmur and gesture for a spell, one hand reaching for his Ruby Skull. With a small cringe, a ghostly facimile of his left hand blinks into existance. « 1d4 = 4 »
Argios the Red has received initiative.
Erialistia "Tia" Culnamo:
"We should back out, make them come to us," Tia tried murmuring to Argios.
Aeter (DM):
« 3d6 = 14 »
Aeter (DM):

Argios the Red:
"Ideas?" He glanced behind him, keeping his shield up to protect both himself and Tia. (Shieldmate: Tia. Full defense. End turn. )
Enzek has received initiative.
Erialistia "Tia" Culnamo:
"Can you get out of there? If so we need to get away from the spikey floor. Not a good combo with this group."
* Enzek pokes his head into the door, aiming his crossbow from a low position beside Argios and Tia. He fires at the man he assumes launched the first arrows at Argios judging by the direction they came in. « 1d20+6 = 20 + 6 = 26 »
Enzek:
« 1d20+6 = 17 + 6 = 23 »
Enzek:
« 2d3 = 3 »
Argios the Red:
"I can, but it looks as if this room is the only way for them to get through to the others."
Aeter (DM):
« 1d20+14 = 11 + 14 = 25 »
Erialistia has received initiative.
Erialistia "Tia" Culnamo:
"Unless you can get that rope to where we can climb up there, we might as well just paint targets on ourselves and let them make a game of this. I don't have much confidence in my bow work."
Argios the Red:
" It looks like we know our weakness, then. Let's try to find a way to turn this into a strength, shall we? Can anyone reach the rope?"
Enzek:
"I think I can reach it, but..."
Erialistia "Tia" Culnamo:
Tia sighed and held up a finger, signalling to Argios she needed a minute to think. She then backed out of the door way, letting Castellan have a shot while she thought this over.
Enzek:
"...You'll have to toss me!"
Sorkalath (Alleybasher):
Two arrows flew at Enzek. One flew at Argios.
Aeter (DM):
Enzek is the Shieldmate of Argios! Enzek gains +1 AC.

Castellan has received initiative.
Castellan Stillwind:
Castellan takes a step forward, mouthing the words of another spell as he moves his hands about. His ghostly Spectral Hand mimics his left one in its gestures, before both it and his true hand glowed with a faint blue light. He reached out towards Sorkalath, and the hand lunged up high towards him! Touch Attack! « 1d20+1-1+2 = 18 + 1 - 1 + 2 = 20 »
Castellan Stillwind:
Charnel Touch! « 1d8+1 = 7 + 1 = 8 » Chill Touch!Chill Touch! « 1d6 = 6 » Fort Save DC16 or take 1 point of STR damage!
Aeter (DM):
« 1d20+1 = 18 + 1 = 19 »
Sorkalath (Alleybasher):
The man that was touched froze up, his body going stiff as a board before he tumbled forward, falling off of the balcony and crashing to the ground below; his body becoming impaled in the worst accupuncture job ever.
Argios the Red has received initiative.
Argios the Red:
"A good casting, Master Castellan." He grunted out, keeping his shield up. "You up there! Lay down your weapons or die in obscurity!" (Full Defense)
Enzek has received initiative.
Meryin (Alleybasher):
"As if you won't kill us anyway, ya freak! Go ta 'ell! All nine of 'em!"
* Enzek watches as Castellan's spell disabled and sent his target plummeting in one fell swoop. He grins and glances up at the two remaining foes. The foulmouthed woman's shouting, in Enzek's mind, determined his target. (Casting Hold Person at Meryin, DC16 vs Will)
Aeter (DM):
« 1d20-1 = 12 - 1 = 11 »
Aeter (DM):
Fail.
Meryin (Alleybasher):
Meryin is paralized!
Erialistia has received initiative.
Erialistia "Tia" Culnamo:
"Alright. Castellan, if I give you a grappling hook and rope can you toss it up onto the balcony or have you guys pretty much already killed them?"
Aeter (DM):
( BRB )
Enzek:
(( I thought it was gonna be like that part in Star Wars where R2-D2 gets tazed by jawas, freezes up, and just collapses over. xD ))
Aeter (DM):
( Feel free to have your characters talk while I'm gone. Lol. )
Enzek:
"Good shot, Castelly! I gotta take some notes from your book sometime."
Castellan Stillwind:
"Do not call me that ever again, Master Enzek."
* Enzek snickers.
Erialistia "Tia" Culnamo:
Tia frowned, "So I take your ignoring me as, 'No, Tia. I throw horribly and I'd miss,' then. Perfect... I'll just have to ask you to duck down then so I can shoot this arrow passed you. I don't like walking on spikes."
Castellan Stillwind:
"I don't think the last one is going to be too much a problem, Miss Tia."
Enzek:
"Mmm! Nope, we got this!"
Erialistia "Tia" Culnamo:
"Of course you wouldn't," she muttered to herself as she pulled the crossbow back up. If she hit him it was his fault for not ducking at this point, she warned him. With her aim on Durkal, she once more loaded an arrow and fired. « 1d20+6 = 11 + 6 = 17 »
Aeter (DM):
( Back )
Aeter (DM):
( Hits! Roll damage. )
Erialistia "Tia" Culnamo:
