Allansia Wildlands Campaign.

Quote from Brian_Avery >>

Banzo will take a good look at the skeleton. Trying to tell if the scraps it wears was from robes or vestments, or something more like armor? Also looking for other clues that he could piece together with what he has so far and make the best guess he can.

"It appears many have met a sad fate in this Mountain of Death."

Banzo will dust off his shell as he half-waddles over to better inspect the skeleton for clues.

(ooc: sorry, forgot to roll Investigation...)

Banzo's Investigation: 24 

From Banzos inspection it appears to be a human, or near human, skeleton...the scraps of cloth are simple threadbare linen and it seems to have been a rather poorly made tabbard...

Quote from shimshon123 >>

Like a librarian, Tzedaka looks at the group and puts one raised finger to her lips. She creeps over to Banzo and points to the other door. "Voices." she whispers

She creeps back to the door and tries to listen in. (She will try to decern how many (eg. two arguing, or many, different languages, any trolls, goblins, etc.) She will also look at the door to see if it has a lock or perhaps would be easy to open.

As she listens she begins to get flashes of raised voices and violence....not her memories....her bodies memories perhaps...the voices are...they sound like those who attacked...not quite the same....

Trolls.....of a sort at least...and at least four of them.

Tzedaka seems confused for a moment, then she makes clear her intent, "Get ready cheroes, I am justice!"

She utters a word in celestial, and touches the ground near the door and the ground begins to shake and move. (Thaumaturgy: Tremors in the ground, like an earthquake heading under the door and to the next area)

Banzo will cast Blackforge's Stone Self granting resistance to slashing, piercing, and lightning damage while suffering from a weakness to bludgeoning damage. If he can concentrate on it then it should last about a minute.

Banzo taps his shell lightly 3 times as a signal.

And then whispers hoarsely, "I'm ready to go."

Garet ex thief senses are tingling, the sight of the quality sword draws him in, in the past the Barons voice would have rang in his head, but now he was free to make his own decisions.

But the sight of such a weapon untarnished spoke to it being magical, but was it cursed and caused the person's death.

Seeing that Tzedaka and Banzo had chance to study more carefully he makes his way over to them hoping for a little light on the situation but wary of a trap he looses his sword hilt and ignites the sun blade at the very least an impromptu torch at the worst he was ready for an ambush.

Herman listens carefully the replies about the ring

"Oh well, you are right, this could be important"

So he decides to wear it.

he takes the Pit breaker in hand and almost whispers to it

"so, let's see how you behave, shall we?"

( Ok. So if you are heading through the door I'll take an Initiative roll from each of you thanks....and probable first round actions based on what you may or may not see.)

Tzedaka (initiative: 10), will open the door, and if allowed, will hold action and then cast sacred flame at the first hostile creature that acts against the party)

Banzo will barrel his way into the room once the door is open and try to force/nudge anyone/thing off to the sides of the room.

"What's going on in here?"

Banzo's Initiative: 20 

18 for initiative 

Garet still thinking about the sword and the box, determined to circle back once they dealt with any would be aggressors, draws his dagger to add to his sword and follows into the room, holding his attack until he sees any aggressive intent from those within.

Init 10.

Heroes of Chalice:-

Banzo shoulders open the south door in time to take in that they are in a marble lined room with a number of messy benches and tables, there is a group of Cave Trolls standing about 30' away near the east wall and a group of humans dressed in black and purple robes near the west wall.  The door in the north wall is currently splintering and falling inward as a raggedly dressed figure kicks the crap out of it. Just behind him is an equally raggedly dressed elven man.

The trolls turn towards your group, the humans towards the two at the northern door.

Prisoners:-

Ian smashes the door down revealing a marble lined room lined with messy benches and tables, a  group of Cave Trolls stands to your left and the Chaos Cultists that have been your primary jailers to the right.

The opposite door is shouldered open and a broad shelled Chelonian ( Turtle Man) makes his way within, beyond him you see a small almost ethereal woman, a hulking northern barbarian, an elven woman dressed in Darkwood Forest garb, a lithe automaton, a rakish looking human man with a sword of light and a Dragonman from the far off Continent of Khul.

(OOC: Welcome new guys!    Damian: Are the raggedly dressed pair injured?, do the black and purple robed humans resemble chaos cultists we saw earlier?)

( They appear roughed up but not injured as such. The robes are much less intricate...you'd assume, perhaps,  they are more junior members and there are no signs of Chaos mutations.)

Enwynn considers the situation that may lie beyond the doorway for a second and then pats Banzo on the shell with three bear hairs in her hand as the Tortle barrels past her into the room.

OOC: Enwynn casts Enhance Ability: Bear's Endurance variant on Banzo, granting them an additional 2d6 HP for the duration of the spell.

Banzo tries to lessen the greatest of the threats by casting Slow at the group of trolls.

DC15 WIS save or suffer the many dilapidated things this spell does, and I can select up to 6 targets. How big a group of trolls is it?

As Ian comes out of the cell and over to the group and sees the group of trolls and this group fighting them. He yells "My name is Ian. I will help you.". He performs a series of hand gestors and fire fans out from his hand to the trolls. 

(Ki - Sweeping Cinder Strike: Burning Hands) Fire Damage 9; DC 15 DEX Save for half.
