No, no, you have to discard a friendship card and a wild or roll the die and Sauron advances 1 space.

So how does this work now?

We have one tentacle and does the initiative thing mean I go first? Is it simply attack or remain hidden or are there things like positioning oneself for another tentacle?

Does anyone know how these things see or what's at the other end?

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 10:54 am

I know they respond to the word "hello" if that helps.

Yeah I figured that much out.

Better than setting up camp in the larger holes for shelter at least.

Discard Five Shields to call on Gandalf and Ignore the Event.

I should have taken some knowledge skills. Who knew they'd come in handy?

If ya wanna know about th' monsters:

* Arcana (constructs, dragons, magical beasts)
* Dungeoneering (aberrations, oozes)
* Local (humanoids)
* Nature (animals, fey, giants, monstrous humanoids, plants, vermin)
* Religion (undead)
* The planes (outsiders, elementals)

In many cases, you can use this skill to identify monsters and their special powers or vulnerabilities. In general, the DC of such a check equals 10 + the monster’s HD. A successful check allows you to remember a bit of useful information about that monster.

For every 5 points by which your check result exceeds the DC, you recall another piece of useful information.

I got us covered in the Arcana realm. So I can tell you all about that dragon right before he eats us!

Austin · Post by **Austin** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 9:12 am

Friends! I have the feeling this might take a while! Perhaps we should escape a tangle and retreat back a bit. There are many holes and I assume many arms.

Gull lunges out of hiding to stab the tentacle grasping for Potestas.

Okay trying an attack here.

Attack Roll
Roll(1d20)+4:
16,+4
Total:20

Damage = Weak
Roll(1d6)+0:
1,+0
Total:1

Roll(1d4)+0:
1,+0
Total:1

(That is 1d4 for the dagger and 1d6 for the cold damage)

total 2 damage... Unless sneak attack works into the attack.

And I'm not sure if there is a str bonus or anything involved.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 12:24 pm

There should be (weapon die roll) + ( magic bonus) + (strength bonus)

So for a +1 Dagger of Frost with a Str of 17, d4 (dagger) + 1 (magic) +d6 (Frost) + 3 (Str)

Alright well I rolled 1's for both the magic and the damage.

1(dagger)+1(Frost)+1(magic)+3 (str) = 5.

hentzau · Post by **hentzau** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 4:24 pm

I'll poke at it with my short spear if there is anything left after Rygar and Gull are done...

To hit - 17+3 = 20
Damage - 6+2 = 8

The roaring echoes from the larger holes

Austin · Post by **Austin** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 9:49 pm

Gull produces a Sunrod which he activates and tosses into one of the larger holes, before deciding to move back away from the holes. He shrugs at they others, How long could the possibly reach?

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 11:16 pm

CR have we freed Potestas from the tentacle? If so I amgoing to run down the path to see if the holes continue.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 1:44 am

You catch a glimpse of a large body that is roughly half Mouth and the other half taken up with a trio 15' tentacles as it moves back from the light...

Austin · Post by **Austin** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 10:01 am

Seems they don't like being greeted in their holes, but it appears they like the light less. I wonder how many of these fellows are around. Perhaps a retreat is in order and maybe we could slightly alter our route. At least we have a better idea of what we are dealing with though.

hentzau · Post by **hentzau** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 11:13 am

Can we proceed forward avoiding (and being ready to deal with) any surprise tenticles?

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 2:10 pm

For all we know this path would have been safe if someone wouldn't have yelled down the damn holes........

RevHempus71 wrote:For all we know this path would have been safe if someone wouldn't have yelled down the damn holes........

Would you rather have been taken unawares? Now we know what we are up against and know that they do not like much light. Forward or backward, I think we should probably move and avoid these holes.

Gull looks around to see how many holes there are and how far they stretch.

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 3:42 pm

Forward past the holes is the best. We need to keep moving though.

Austin · Post by **Austin** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 11:12 am

Gull and Rygar wait for the others to come out of their stunned surprise and make a move.

Potestas will follow the large man with the large weapon closely...
