What the hell is Grea/tg/ary?
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ADSUEg96TKXsUsxliyF6ZzMhfOO4WY4Dumu4AGK4ylA/edit

Basically Rubyleaf's player had the idea of a bunch of people running games, so people have more chance of there being someone online when they want to play d&d on /tg/

>>21473732
CASTLEEEEE GYGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay! Time to kill things!

>>21473742
Brave adventurer, a great peril faces you! Money for construction has almost run out, and the workers will soon stop digging out under the Giant Bee hive!
Dare you enter the perilous realm of accounting, surveyors, and environmental impact reports?

>>21473732
>Great Gary
>a Cloud GM
>always a D&D game on /tg/

This is such an amazing idea. I'm so proud of you, /tg/.

Flailsnails sighted! I knew I was sitting around feeling poorly rather than running my game for a reason!

Flail snails are the only good D&D monster.

>>21473875
eh we still like ya spookyruby

>>21473732
Just for reference, there's a quick Labyrinth Lord character generator here:

truculent.org/llchar/

>>21473988
I was only thinking about starting 2.5 hours ago, it probably would have sucked to have a traffic jam. It may be a while before we get the other games seriously going - Creepy's predicting next weekend for his end of things (though that's apparently going to be 100% homebrew and will have beautiful, beautiful maps).

>>21474023
Thanks! I'll put that in the referee resources in case we need instahenchmen.

>>21474023
Are we using LL? I thought this was red box.

>>21474081
I'd been using redbox, yeah, but I was won over to LL with the better equipment and armour lists and actual rules for things like burning oil

>>21474099
so where we at?

>>21474149
In town. You can go to either Castle Gygar, head off to the Caverns of Quasqueton (ie module B1) or go elsewhere

>>21474166
Well we're going to be dealing with CUBES and ogres and similar nastiness on the third level of Castle Gygar if we go there. Or attack the kobolds, but apparently there's a nonaggression pact with them or something.

We're still near the entrance of the Caverns though.

>>21474166
My vote for Gygar, lets stock up on oil flasks and burn that cube

>>21474194
>Let's burn that cube
>that cube
>cube

Bitch there best be some other cube in there or I'm gonna go ahead and say you've been huffing some of that flaming oil.

>>21474194
Leod has a good four oil flasks, though one is already being used for his lantern.

>>21474246
wasn't there, all i heard was about the cube : |

we can still burn it to death right?

also before we leave i would like to buy 5 more oil flasks if possible

Alright. Posting equipment list, more for my sake than anything.

Echo, did you want to put money into the honey pot fund?

>>21474081
The main reason I wanted LL rather than Red Box for the Cloud was so that people who wanted to ref could get a copy of the rules very easily and legally. The UK is crazy about anti-piracy stuff, so it's a concern here (and that may be a sign of the way things are going in other countries).

It does have some nice added features, although I still think the Clerics are a bit over-powered. (Pay no attention to Rubyleaf's list of retainers.)

>>21474190
My vote is CoQ, it's easier pickings.

Alright. Can I get a head count for who's going on the journey (presumably to module B1)?

Were it any earlier in the evening you would have an alcoholic, throat slashing half long archer along with you but it's getting a bit late for me.

>>21474504
I'd be up for it, but I'm going to be multitasking on studying.

>>21474504
Here, though like gruber it's late for me. (And the wee man should at least do a short stint with us!)

>>21474328
for the tunnel/bar? yes 500gp at this current time

>>21474519
damn it :( I like when this guy plays lol

>>21474504
I'm going with to medual BeeOhnes

So Rubyleaf, Leod, Echo, and maybe Gruber make the trip to the Caverns of Quasqueton, taking a few hours to get there. Any retainers coming with?

>>21474797
I am bringing my whole gang. In fact, I want another Retainer!

>>21474797
my person chuck is!

>>21474817
>>21474821
how many retainers can we maintain based off our charisma scores?

>>21474817
>>21474821
Krago, Chuck, Dwayne, Keith, and Rubyleaf's new retainer. Roll him up.
That's 2.5 treasure shares going to retainers now.

For navigation, since you've got Leod and Krago with you, I'm assuming they tell you about places they've explored already

>>21474835
Ruby can have at least 4, Echo's in the same category.

Rolled 5, 4, 5, 5, 1, 1, 3, 6, 6, 1, 1, 1, 6, 4, 5, 6, 3, 5 = 68

Probably another Cleric. If so, another Bywater cousin. (They're Rubyleaf's corgis.)

>>21474835
6-8 CHA: 3
9-12 CHA: 4
13-15 CHA: 5

>>21474858
I like this plan so far!

>>21474868
>>21474883
thanks, i was very curious about that

>>21474875
yep and they keep yapping like it too.

>>21474875
S14, D7, C15, I3, W15, Ch14.

He is the ultimate Bywater! Robert Bywater, aka "Idiot" or "Simple Bob". Cleric, and I burn his S to 12 to give him W16.

You're outside the entrance to the Caverns of Quasqueton. Do you wish to go straight ahead, past the booming voices to the stairway and central intersection, or go through one of the secret doors?

>>21474948
Secret doors?!
"I canna resist tah call of secret doors!" I exclaim as I head towards one.

>>21474899
>>21474900
Oh, I was assuming the LL default order?

>>21474948
Leod wants to jink off through the right secret door, keep some element of stealth. He then wants to examine the first room down the right hallway, the one they didn't look behind in favor of having a touch-and-go fight with Troglodytes.

>>21474948
Sorry, referee man, we're just organising a conspiracy against you on IRC.

#Greatgary on Rizon server, in case other players show.

>>21474971
Ah, I'd been reading it (and copying onto the sheet) the old way. I can swap it around if you want

>>21474969
About 80 feet into the place are two secret doors, to the east and west of the long entranceway. Leod seems to have a plan for moving along.

First up, light. Just using Leod's lantern? Anyone else having lit torches or anything?

>>21475027
Fool! By making the choice both are reduced to 3, when they would have been seven if you said you didn't care! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA It's like you don't even read the Canturbury Tales!

But seriously, that's fine.

>>21475018
I'm torching it up!

>i should make a torch hat...

>>21475066
i am quite frightened for some reason

>>21475064
Leod leads you through the secret door, then turns right. You go south for a while (about 80 feet, then it jinks out to the west for about 50 feet) before turning east. After 130 feet is a door, and another door 10 feet after that. Opening it there is a 10 foot wide path ahead of you. After 20 feet there is a door to the left, and after that the passage turns to the left.

>>21475117
I move to examine the closed doors, looking for usage and using stonecunning on em if possible

"Whatcha thinkings throw tem doors mates?" I ask in a hushed whisper

>>21475117
Ruby defers to Leod on navigation.

>>21475117
"Alright, unexplored territory from here on. Though this like some sort of spiral... Perhaps there's something at the end. Or it's trapped. Or both." Leod says, thinking aloud, and then shakes his head. "Chuck, Krago, Echo, please keep your eyes open for traps, secret doors, and the like."

When they reach the door, Leod nods. "After we've finished checking it over, yes, let us find what is inside." He says quietly.

>>21475117
Actually...
>You go south for a while (about 80 feet, then it jinks out to the west for about 50 feet) before turning east.

West then east? Or does it go South-west for 50 feet before turning east?

>>21475204
Looking aorund you find no traps or unusual stonework. Up ahead the pathway turning left continues on for 20 feet before there's a turn south.

Opening the door, you find what seems to be a carpentry room, 20' by 30'. There is a woodworking table with a rusty but still usable vice and some saws, a few large oak tables, several chairs and stools stacked agains the walls. The floor is covered in rotting woodchips and sawdust, and you see insects move around in it

>>21475232
South, then west 10 feet, then south again

>>21475249
How big are these insects?

>>21475249
"Hm." Leod murmurs absently at what they find. He stands watch near the door, allowing the others to search the room to their hearts' content. He's ready to press on whenever they are.

>>21475273
Normal sized. And none of them have moustachioed human faces or anything

>>21475292
That's comforting. Ruby will take a poke around inside, testing the floor with her sword as she goes. In terms of searching: is the furniture solid? Anything fishy about 'dem walls?

>>21475249
Oh sweet!

"Mark this room on yer maps mates, I know ill be returnin fer the furnature soonenough"

>>21475292
Makes me want to ask what is on their face >.>

>>21475333
It seems fairly normal to you. The tables and chairs are well made, if somewhat damaged by vermin.

>>21475349
You attempt to look at their face, but it curls up into a ball. You have found the fabled roly-poly!

File: 1352329875509.jpg-(16 KB, 233x249, mother_of_god.jpg)

>>21475395
MOTHER OF GOD

I collect a few in a pocket for use later in exclaiming their brilliance to others.

>>21475395
OK. Ruby murmurs to Leod, "I'm ready to move on."

Are there any games happening in the next hourish?

>>21475447
You're probably best off joining this one, so long as Dungeon Master is OK with it.

>>21475447
Nothing's happened in this game yet. Happy to retcon you in.

Next post could be a while, it's a long convoluted passageway.

>>21475459
>Iamokaywiththis.jpg

>>21475459
After turning south, the passage continues for 30 feet and turns west. That goes on for 90 feet and turns north. That's 20 feet and turns east, then back north. 20 feet after that there's a side passage going east. At the limits of infravision you see after 60 feet it opens into a room. Or, fifty feet continuing ahead to the north is another turn west.

>>21475459

Yeah that'd be great.

Fugwutz has been clumsily tailing the group I suppose

>>21475447
Wait, you're a magic user. PLEASE JOIN.

>>21475497
Leod nods towards the side passage. "Let's explore the side passage, shall we?"

>>21475549
"Aye mate, lewks gewd ta meh!" I whisper while drinking more of my wineskin.

>>21475529
You could just have been hiding among the Clerics. Join the party discussion on IRC: #Greatgary on Rizon

>>21475395
Fugwutz, your high intelligence allows you to recognise the bugss as crustaceans in the family Armadillidiidae, most likely species A. vulgare.

At the end of the passage, you see there is another side path going south, turning west after 20 feet. You're at the southwest corner of a room, 60' by 40'. The floor is smooth polished slate, with eight stone pillars of red granite supporting the roof. At the west end is a raised red granite platform, with two thrones carved from a single block of white marble. Garish drapieries of yellow and purple cloth hang on the walls

To your north you see a 20' long passage leading to a door, and a path to the west just south of it. In the middle of the 20' wall north of you is a door, marked with a carving of an angelic figure

>>21475627
I'll harvest some of the garish drapieries while we're in the room and put them in my pack.

>>21475627
"A throne room? Truly?" Leod mutters, chuckling. He peers about. "Hmm... Any preference towards the door with the carving? Or should we simply head down the south passage?" He asks the others.

>>21475652
You greatly improve the interior design of this room.
While moving around, you notice that at the west end of the north wall is a hidden door

>>21475627
How clean is the floor?

>>21475627

"Eheheh..." Fugwutz tries to study the carving closer

>>21475670
I'll go take a look at the northwest door.

"Lookie thar mates!"

>>21475675
No different from other areas. It's got thirty years of dust, animal droppings, and dead bugs.

As the others inspect their own parts of the room, Leod asks Krago to inspect the thrones, though without touching, as that might be dangerous. When Echo finds a secret door, Leod looks over curiously. "Well, likely to be something interesting behind it." He notes.

>>21475685
Given the armour and weaponary the figure holds, it seems to be a valkyrie or the like.

>>21475700
That should hold tracks pretty well! Any signs of activity? I guess we've messed it up a bit.

>>21475727
You see some footprints, seemingly from a clawed bipedal creature the size of a man.

>>21475736
Ruby quietly points the tracks out to the group and has a whispered discussion with them. (We're speculating on the creature type on IRC, guessing Troglodytes because Leod fought them last time.)

>>21475736
Do the tracks go near the secret door?

>>21475789
No. They head through the passages around the west, and out the doorway to the north

>>21475701
Ah. The thrones are well made, but without any obvious traps or hidden compartments.

Remember, exits are the secret door north in the northeast, and along the west wall a door north, two passages west, a door west, and a passage south

>>21475804
I vote for trying to open the door.

ill use stonecunning on the door to see if i can find out any more info.

>>21475845
Door west, door north, or secret door north?

>>21475845
Leod wants to check out the secret door.

>>21475892
Ruby is onboard with that, but I think Echo means the secret door? He found it, after all.

>>21475904
YES I want to see what's behind hidden door number 1

Opening the door, you see a large room. It's about 40' by 50', but it's hard to tell exactly due to the curved walls. The walls are covered in vertical strips of varnished wood. In the corners hang large tapestries, 6' wide and 8' high. The southern two, illuminated by your torches, show a warrior and a maiden on hoseback riding through the hills, with loving expressions on their faces, and the same warrior and a wizard on a hilltop, clasping each other's forearms as the sun sets in the background. You think you could get 100gp for them, and you can easily remove them, but they're big and heavy. There's a maple bed in the middle of the west wall, with an R engraved in the headboard. Next to it is a wooden cabinet.
Rubyleaf notices another secret door just east of the one you went through, and there's a third door in the middle of the west wall.

>>21475958
I'll poke the cabinet open with my special pole. I will regard the statues with respect and not move them.

>>21475983
>special pole = 10ft pole

>>21475983
tapestries, not statues.

The cabinet has some clothes in it. A pair of tough boots, some cloaks, a buckskin shirt, tunics, hose, and so on.

>>21475983
Leod looks under the bed, pillow, and mattress for treasure.

>>21475958

Fugwutz potters around the bed, studying the head board and checking underneath and down the back for anything not nailed down. He occasionally giggles nervously to himself

>>21476000
What is the condition of the clothes, old and untouched or recently disturbed?

I would like to put those in a sack for later if they look undisturbed.

>>21476000
Any tracks in here? I'll let Leod know about the secret door, as he tends to stand watch while others search.

>>21476010
Beneath the pillow is a well made dagger, with onyx gems inlaid in the hilt. Altogether you think it's worth 110gp, the gems being about 100gp of that

>>21476026
Undisturbed, but most are a little moth eaten

>>21476027
No.

>>21476042
Can I hear anything through the new secret door to the east?

>>21476042
I'll buy the gems off the party for Fig.

I'll stuff all the clothes and such in a bag after taking a look at each one for valuables.

>>21476042
As you go through the room, you illuminate the other two tapestries. One shows a warrior in full plate battling a dragon, stabbing his sword into its neck. The other shows that warrior and the wizard from the opposite tapestry leading an army into battle, holding back a horde of barbarians attacking a mountain pass

You hear no noises.

>>21476084

Fugwutz checks behind each of the tapestries. "Can't be too careful with all these secret doors you know...eheh"

>>21476110
No other secret doors in this room

>>21476084
If the party's still looting, I'll check for tripwires on the secret door.

>>21476084
I'll wait on harvesting the tapistries until later

>>21476135
You can't find any tripwires on either door.

Leod agrees with leaving the heavy stuff for later. Room looks about clean, so let's just open the secret door next to the one we just opened.

>>21476158
Fugwutz nods and scuttles behind everyone else

>>21476158
There's a 40 foot passage leading south. At the end you see a door, which you think would lead to the room where you fought troglodytes

>>21476165
Ruby pushes Fugwutz ahead of her, because it's much more fun to get stabbed in the back when you're wearing platemail.

>>21476177
any way i can use my dwarven awesomness to poke a peephole in the secret door at the end of the tunnel?

>>21476193
You don't have the proper tools for it. You might be able to find them somewhere in the dungeon though

>>21476193
Leod asks the others to examine the door for traps and listen for noise, and if there is none, moves to open it. If it is indeed the bedroom where they fought the troglodytes, Leod will look behind the tapestries and look under the bed and its pillow and mattress for any loot, before suggesting they check out the third secret door.

>>21476189

"Eheheh, yes, sensible..."

>>21476216
Oh, wait, it was only one tapestry and I recall they nicked it already. Nevermind that part then.

>>21476216
Ruby's at the back, so she stands watch.

>>21476216
Yes, it is that room. It looks like you missed this secret door the first time.

There are. You think the tapestry here of Melissa is worth 100gp, but unlike the others is on a wood frame attached to the stone walls. Without tools, you''d have to cut it out to get it, greatly ruducing its value

>>21476204
it is now my goal to aquire the proper tools.

>>21476271
*there is no extra loot in here

>>21476271
ill brb life happening D:

>>21476271
Oh yeah. I'm being forgetful and dumb. Forgive me.

Anyway. To the third secret door?

If you go back to the third secret door, it opens to a long passage, heading west. After 20 feet is a door north, after that a door south (probably to the throne room) and the passage continues further than you can see from the doorway

>>21476295

Fugwutz agrees

>>21476312
DM needs food badly. I'll be back in a bit

>>21476329
Back

>>21476465
ok. we got alvaro on irc, wondering if he can come in.

How's the pace for you, DM?

>>21476488
Going alright. I'm mostly taking a while because I have to check my notes and type up a lot

>>21476510
I was more worried that the party was going slow! Admittedly, I'm knackered and might have to call it a night. Can Ruby & the Bywater lads carry the easily-removed tapestries without any more help?

>>21476548
Yes, there are quite a few of you and you can roll them up and take them off

>>21476465
Sorry team, life happening too quickly, ill be back in 30min or less (or your money back)

Don't let me do anything I wouldnt do! lol

>>21476510
you're doing fantstic please take your time if you need to get collected for stuff, we'll just bs in the irc lol

>>21476548
Awesome. Do the tapestries Ruby and company leave with count towards loot/experience for everyone?

>>21476559
OK. I think Alvaro will be finished reading up on the thread and ready to replace some of the losses very soon. Ruby & her men head back to town to fence the tapestries and will ensure that the party gets their shares (even if the coins have to go to their funerals).

>>21476582
I was thinking so. I'm thinking Ruby would take the loot back, sell it, and hold onto the money for you just for ease of my note taking

>>21476603
as said here.

>>21476582
I hope so! The idea was to do one last bit of work for the party, not cheat them!

>>21476608
A whole share comes to 85gp. Half shares are 42gp.
Fugwutz, your intelligence gives you a 10% bonus to XP, so you're on 94XP from it

>>21476608
OK. That's all from me tonight. Stay cautious, friends, and if it comes to dice - be lucky!

>>21476660
You want to pay into the Honeypot fund?

Rolled 1

Alright, finished catching up. Ruby suggested to me to roll up a second retainer since with them missing it will be about half the party gone. To speed things up, I'll just roll on that pre-genned list you got, for a second fighter.

Right, also trading in my crappy scale mail with the spending of twenty five gold to instead have sweet, sweet splint. And picking up a total of twenty bullets, them being thankfully free.

After that, all ready to go. Will it be retconned in, or another crazy trip by himself plus retainers?

Rolled 4

>>21476733
Yes. The party's just left the Caverns of Module B1, and finally got a wandering monster!

As you see Rubyleaf head off onto the distance, you notice some rustling in bushes nearby. It seems to be headed for you! Roll for Initiative

>>21476766
I think you just headed in, they have just left the caverns

>>21476776
As Leod waves after Ruby and his retainers, he perks up as he notices the rustling bushes. He quickly draws his sword and shield, readying himself!

(What's our initiative modifier?)

>>21476802
+2 from Chuck

After this fight I'll want another headcount, to distribute the XP from this fight.

Rolled 3

>>21476776
SHIT

>>21476785
Hm... Is it too late to join up with Leod and the others? If so, then we'll probably poke around west path, instead of the east one that he and the others went to last time. Alvaro has his lantern lit, and has cure light wounds prepared.

>>21476839
To be more specific, the path opposite of the one that lead the group to the trogs.

>>21476832
Out from the bushes emerge two centipedes, each a foot in length. Red and yellow in colour, you suspect they're poisonous

>>21476839
No, not too late. Say you show up at the start of round 2.

>>21476832
"Why do I have to happen upon you chuckleheads right as you're about to get murdered by something awful??"

>>21476848
Neither side is suprised, and the party goes first

>>21476847
Sounds good to me. We'll jump in second round then.

>>21476848

"Now you're here maybe we won't be murdered then? Maybe if you fight up front? Eheh..."

Rolled 6

>>21476847
I hiss in displeasure, backpedaling and knocking an arrow. I also shoot one of them with said arrow, hopefully pinning it to the ground.

Does it look like I can outrun them?

Did my 3 Initiative get +2 from Chuck?

>>21476857

Fugwutz draws his silver dagger and backs away from the bush

Rolled 14, 17 = 31

>>21476857
"Ugh, damnable bugs!" Leod growls, hacking at one centipede with his sword, Krago stepping forward to give a hefty chop of his own

>>21476872
yes, just one roll for the whole party.
You need 10s to hit

Rolled 3, 5 = 8

>>21476886
Rolling for damage, Leod then Krago.

>>21476872
Is Gurx coming too?

>>21476906
Squish. The centipedes are dead.

Okay, who's here? Centipedes are 6XP so you're probably just getting 1 or 2, but I'd like to know for later fights when there's more experience to win.

Rolled 9

>>21476908
If he's tame, hell yes! And if so, this is his attack roll. He throws a javelin.

>>21476922

Fugwutz is here! Being a coward! No retainers

>>21476935
2XP for the players (except Alvaro who wasn't there) and 1XP for retainers

>>21476922
Jenai and his apprentice thief goblin interpreter, Gurx

>>21476922
Alvaro and company didn't get there, so wasn't in the battle.

>>21476947
Leod wipes the blood off his sword, and upon seeing seeing Alvaro and his retainer approach, gives a warm smile and a wave.

>>21476947
DM, if Gurx can wield javelins, I purchased 5 for him, as well as two daggers. He already had a spear and wore leather, I believe.

>>21476972
"Well met again friend, was just about to give the caverns another run after finding some allies, but chanced upon to see you. Anything I missed?" The cleric greeted Leod, with Ileen and Brandon in tow.

Okay, the ten of you move on into caverns.

Go on past the booming voices and down a corridor, or take one of the east or west secret doors?

>>21476972
>>21476992
"Hail fellows, well met!

I presume you are allies of the ineffable Echo and Fig, fine dwarven companions of mine who I've been traveling with of late? Also there is one Rubyleaf - I saw her leaving the scene, and so I presumed to join you.
My name is Jenai."
>Gurx hisses a bit, collects his spent javelin, and hunches over by Jenai
"This is Gurx."

"Well met indeed. We explored out further east, though encountered no new foes. And indeed, Jenai, we are. I am Leod Reorsted."

Leod takes the time to introduce the others and quickly fill the newcomers in on what was found, then looks back to the cavern entrance. "Now, shall we head back in and continue to explore?" He asks the others.

>>21477070

"Eheh, yes let's make a move. Being out in the open makes me ...uncomfortable."

>>21477023
"Greetings. I'm afraid I don't know of an Echo or Fig, although I've traveled with Leod before. Although ones allied in the great fight are all friends of me. Pleasure to meet you Jenai--You... You travel with a goblin..." Confusion and mild disgust were evident, but he shook his head and instead focused on the cavern. "I say we do. I'll not leave those things left behind to fester and grow. I suggest we hunt down those who evaded us before, down the path as we found them."

>>21477090
>Jenai caresses Grux's head, Grux flinching instinctively from the contact, baring teeth. Jenai backhands him casually as they walk, and Grux settles down.

"He's an experiment of mine. 'Know thy enemy' and all that. He's also good to have in a pinch, and I think I can make use of him in the future, as an informer. "

So, which way? Through the east or west secret doors?
Up to the intersection? Up there are the doors to kitchen and dining room, two paths each to east and west, and an unexplored path heading forewards

>>21477129
I vote through the kitchen and dining rooms, down the lower east path.

>>21477114
"You have more restraint than I."

>>21477114

Fugwutz notices the goblin and sidles over to him

>"Are you going to slit our throats, lost one?"
Fugwutz says gutterally to the little humanoid in its own tongue.

>>21477143

"Ehehe you sound like you know where you're going. Always a safer proposition...eheh normally"

Fugwutz nods sagely and follows on after alvaro

>>21477150
"Only if the boss tells me to," he says indicating Jenai.

>>21477143
Kitchens and dining rooms are behind the west and east doors upstairs, respectively. The lower east path just here is the way the party went before, and led to the Troglodytes.
Or do you mean going on past the kitchens to the other intersection after the store room?

>>21477173
Yeah, that was what I meant. Through the kitchen and dining room, at the second intersection, lower east hallway. Don't trust the twenty foot hallway.

>>21477166
>What is Fugwutz?
>Actually, why not, what is everyone playing?
>Unless you want to keep it a secret, it'd be useful to know. I'm a Thief.

>>21477188
Okay, you guys want to go along with this? In that case, you hear the booming voices again as you go up the stairs

>>21477190

Fugwutz the Careful is a magic user. Smart but otherwise incompetent. And cowardly. He carries a lot of anti-undead paraphernalia

I pat Gurx, and gesture at Fugwutz. "If I ever do, you can do him first."

I follow the others, bow out, arrow knocked but not drawn.

>>21477114
"..." Leod the fighter looks unconvinced and wary, though doesn't speak his mind on the subject of the goblin. He's willing to go along with Alvaro's plan. Krago the dwarf continues keeping an eye open for secret doors and traps along the way.

As you go along, Echowinds notices another secret door, opposite that leading to the store room on the east side of the wide passage after the kitchens

>>21477239

Fugwutz motions to keep moving. He appears to be slightly tired of secret doors for the time being.

>>21477239
"A secret door huh? Bet that must of been where the skeletons got off too... I say we should go in."

>>21477299
Leod doesn't want to leave an unopened secret door behind them, agreeing with Alvaro on checking it out.

>>21477319

"Eheh fine, but I'm not going in first..."

>>21477322
"Leod, can you see if Krago hears anything on the other side before we head in? Maybe look for tricks and traps as well?"

Rolled 2

>>21477322
>>21477319
I examine it for traps and other contrivances.

Rolled 20, 13, 11, 15, 19, 17 = 95

>>21477322
Opening the door, you see a workshop about 50' by 40'. There are several tables, including a large black one made of slate in the center of the room. Along the north wall are wooden cabinets, and a door in the middle of the wall.

You don't have time for any further observations, as two troglodytes leap out from hiding and attack!
Roll for initiative for next round.

Rolled 5

>>21477375
Ah, examining it you hear sounds behind. Ignore that last roll, you are not suprised

Rolled 1

>>21477399
"Egads, they're upon us!" ?

As they leap out, I move back behind my fellows.

Rolled 6

>>21477399
Init roll? Don't know who has the highest Dex roll.

Rolled 7, 2, 7, 17, 16, 20 = 69

>>21477417
The troglodytes hiss and strike at you

I think Echo isn't here now, so I'll roll his attack and his retainer's

>>21477424
I take the first roll and add the highest dex bonus

>>21477424

I think we get a +2? Could be wrong

Fugwutz draws his dagger and waves it nervously in the direction of the troglodytes

Rolled 4, 1, 2 = 7

>>21477432
Echowinds and Krago are struck by their claws

Rolled 15, 3 = 18

>>21477432
Leod's eyes widen at the sight of the troglodytes, just before he and Krago are hit by the stench again.

Leod and Krago both have +2 to CON rolls.

Rolled 16

>>21477464
Leod passes, but Krago is nauseated and takes -2 to hits

Rolling Echo's poison saving throw

>>21477464

Fugwutz reels from the stench slightly

Rolled 7, 18 = 25

>>21477479
Echo strikes with his magic axe as Chuck shoots his crossbow

14 to hit the trogs

Rolled 11, 20 = 31

>>21477432
"What did we ever do to you??"
>Jenai fires an arrow, Grux hurls a Javelin

Rolled 4, 6 = 10

>>21477487

One for save, one for attacking the troglodyte

Rolled 1

>>21477493
The troglodyte dodges the glowing axe, but is struck with a bolt

Rolled 7, 14 = 21

Leud and Krago both attack with their swords!

With Krago's penalty, both have a +1 modifier to their attacks.

Rolled 3

>>21477505
Failed save

Rolled 5 + 3

>>21477510
Luckily, I'm pretty sure the penalty doesn't apply to damage!

Rolled 9, 7, 16 = 32

>>21477457
Ileen and Brandon close in to fight the Trogs, each trying to steel themselves against the stench, while Alvero strikes out with a bullet from his sling.

(First two rolls are Ileen and Brandon respectively, last roll is Alvero attacking.)

Rolled 5

>>21477493
>>21477495
>retainer poooower!

Is a javelin 1d6? 1d4+1?

File: 1352340642495.png-(94 KB, 858x854, D&D Labyrinth Lord Weapons.png)

>>21477522
Fails, but Alvero hits

>>21477532
idk. Check the pic

Rolled 1

>>21477522
Alvaro grins cruelly as his bullet connects with Trog scale.

Rolled 2, 8 = 10

>>21477520
> What's the save? Do I and Gurx have to roll one at range? Does Gurx have to, being a filthy, horrible carrion-eating goblin?

Rolled 6, 14 = 20

>>21477505

Retching horribly Fugwutz flails wildly at the trogs and manages to achieve precisely nothing

Rolled 20, 3 = 23

>>21477546
Nauseated by the stench, Ileen and Brandon still fight the good fight, with a swing and a stab respectively.

+2 Ileen, +1 Brandon

>>21477555
No, only for close combat.
Gurx is still affected by their filthy stench oil

>>21477546
It's 1d6, so the damage is correct.

Rolled 8 + 2

>>21477569
Ileen just gives a satisfied grunts as he feels his sword connect with flesh.

(So much rolling...)

Rolled 2, 6 = 8

>>21477601
Scratch one Troglodyte! Rolling the other's morale

Rolled 6, 14, 9 = 29

>>21477609
It holds, and strikes back

Rolled 12, 16 = 28

>>21477613
It's claws clang off the fighters' armour, as Chuck opens fire andEcho swings his magic axe

Rolled 4 + 2

>>21477624
Both hit! Rolling axe damage

Rolled 2, 14 = 16

>>21477613
We Arrow and Javelin it.

Rolled 8 + 2

>>21477639
10XP for PCs, 5XP for retainers
Fugwutz gets 11XP for his int bonus

Oh, the Troglodyte is hacked to pieces

Rolled 1

>>21477653
>jenai again fails to connect, while his Goblin servant shows its killer instinct

"Damnable lizards!" Leod growls at the corpses, though finds himself pleased at how they were able to take them down so much easier this time. He looks to the others to see what their condition is, and also peers into the room.

>>21477655
Does Alvaro get 11 as well due to his Wis +2, or just Fugwutz?

>>21477661
I make a point of carefully inspecting the room after I have Gurx drag their foul carcasses out of the way.

Rolled 8, 13 = 21

>>21477661

Fugwutz wipes the spittle from the corners of his mouth and spits on the corpses, retching once for good measure.

"E-heh, that'll show you stinky lizards, heh." He mutters, before peering over Leods shoulder into the room

>>21477679
The two dwarves are hurt, Krago down to 7HP and Echo to 6HP

There is a black slate worktable, and several other wooden ones around the room. To the north are cabinets, and a door in the middle of the wall. On the stone table is a mirror in a gilded frame designed to let it swivel vertically or horizontally, probably worth about 90gp

>>21477686
Yes. Noted it for him since he's the only one who I'm not keeping track of XP for

>>21477716

How big is the mirror?

Fugwutz carefully looks into the cabinets.

Rolled 40

>>21477716
I gesture to everyone to make way, and I use the 10ft pole to swivel the mirror, after inspecting the cabinets for traps (da roll)

>>21477722
Ah, alright, just wanted to make sure.

>>21477716
Alvaro gives one of the Trog corpses a hard kick while muttering something about hate. Turning his attention to the room, he's curious about the cabinets but deigns to wait until Jenai's business is finished. He congratulates Ileen and Brandon in the mean time on a successful fight.

>>21477756
About a foot in diametre.

>>21477757
No traps do ye find. Neither does Chuck for that matter.
You don't find keyholes either, the cabinets probably aren't locked.

>>21477777
Alvaro removes his helmet momentarily to try and hear if there is anything beyond the door to the north.

>>21477792
There are no sounds from the north

>>21477795
He replaces his helmet upon his head and joins Fugwutz in looking through the cabinets.

Rolled 5

>>21477777
Five sevens can't be all bad. I have Gurx open the cabinets as I approach the mirror with a sack.

"What do you guys think? Just grab it? I've been lucky with cursed things so far .. still got this golden monkey in my bag."

>>21477815
The cabinets are filled with small clay pots, as well as a large glass jar. Within the jar is a black cat, suspended in clear preserving fluid

>>21477815
"Go for it. No reason to let it waste in this dark hole, the things here have no use of it to look upon their own ugly hides."

>>21477827

Fugwutz casts detect magic and looks suspiciously at the cat.

(I think I'm gonna have to head off soon, it's getting pretty damn late)

Rolled 9

>>21477815
>>21477827
>Jenai grabs the mirror, wraps it in spare cloth, and sets in at the top of his bag. Might be useful later


>Gurx attempts to eat the cat.

>>21477856
>Man my percentile rolls are amazing! DM, don't let me waste these..

>>21477842
There is a soft glow of magic in the room. The cat is magic, as are a few of the pots

Opening the jar, the fluid disolves in a fog. The cat leaps out of the jar, miaow loudly, and runs out the open door.

>>21477877

Fugwutz tells Gurx not to touch the cat in goblin tongue and tries to discern the magical properties of the pots and cat if he can

>>21477842
>>21477856
> the glow terrifies Gurx, who promptly stops reaching for the cat.

"...What in blazes?" Leod says as he blinks, staring at the door the cat dashed through in shock

>>21477922
Gurx can't see it, just Fugwutz. And sorry, the cat's out of the bag, so to speak

>>21477899

Fugwutz tries to study the pots without disturbing them.

"Anyone want to, ehehe chase that cat? It might eheh attract unwanted attention... bad luck and whatnot"

>>21477899
"Foul magics. Maybe the cat will lead us somewhere?" Alvaro comments, before thinking for a moment, then continuing. "It might be eating the rat corpses in the store room."

>>21477941
Alvaro peeks out of the doorway the cat went through to try and see where it went.

>>21477936
>Oh well in that case, hell yeah he tries to eat it.

"GURX! You will NOT touch things without permission, do you understand? It couldn't KILLED you."

>in a mutter
"or been worth more than your miserable LIFE."

>>21477941
I'll say you check five
1: A grey powder
2: A black powder
3: Blood
4: Reddish-yellow metal filings
5: Red wood chips

>>21477986
>could've* killed you

>>21477971
It ran out, went south, and continued down the passage east. You hear a booming voice say "Goodbye Mister Fuzzyboots!"

>>21477989

Are the pots sealable? Would I be able to carry them back to castle greatgary without spilling/smashing them?

"Anyone eheh, want to give these a taste? Heh, might give me a better idea what they are..."

>>21477989
You think the powder is crushed slate

>>21478019
Yes. They have lids or wide corks

>>21478035
And regarding them, they could be useful to keep for the Honey Pot, for hired alchemists to use

>>21478035

Can I estimate some kind of value for these things and split it, since they're magic?

>>21478007
"...Well, guess that solves that." Alvaro mentioned. "Wonder what else that voice can say..." He pondered, muttering various feminine names that begin with an 'M.'

>>21478084
Shrugging, Alvaro turned towards the door north. "I'm ready to move on when everyone else is."

Fugwutz, if you want to go back with the mirror and some pots, I'd be happy for you to do so. Selling the mirror gets 12gp for everyone, and 6gp for retainers

20XP for treasure (including the worth of the pots used for the workshop), 22XP for Fugwutz (or otherwise howevermuch you get for bonuses)

>>21478081
Around 60gp. They're a big collection of goods used as material components and alchemical ingredients.

>>21478160
Sell it to the Honeypot crew then?
