Saga of Westmarch Wiki

Narrator: The delvers are heading north to return to Polisberg. They have just defeated a huge mass of some kind of hostile slime.
Narrator: Ahead of them, the road rises into a pass through the mountains.
GM: Currently, Thasos is disabled at -5 HP, the air stinks of burnt slime, and it's around 3PM, I think.
GM: What are people up to?
** Ghazeb cleans his equipment of slime. **
Beltarne: I'm working on patching up folks, one way or another.
** Wolfgang cleans slime off stuff and checks for any damage **
Beltarne: First Aid on Thasos, or did I already do that?
** Marik beats out the last of the sparks on his coat, gives Minnizig a glare, then begins scouting around quietly to make sure there aren't any further threats. **
GM: No visible damage, Wolfgang. Everyone's equipment is readily cleaned off.
GM: Beltarne, I don't think we did ANY of that.
Beltarne: Okay, I'm gonna apply bandages and wiggle my fingers, then
Beltarne: First Aid for Thasos roll!
Beltarne: First Aid/TL3 (Humanoid) (15) [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [1,5,1] = 7 vs (15) or less Success! by 8 Conditional: +1 from 'First Aid Kit'
Beltarne: [1d6] => [6] = (6)
Beltarne: Great Healing for Thasos, 4 FP!
GM: Thasos is stabilized!
GM: Major healing, dude, major healing.
Beltarne: Sorry, yes, that
Beltarne: Major Healing (Holy) (15) [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [5,6,5] = 16 vs (15) or less Failure! by 1 Includes: +4 from 'Power Investiture (Holy)'
GM: Anyone doing anything else in the half hour or so that Beltarne is mucking with Thasos?
Beltarne: Can we say I was doing the shouty version, or should I try again?
GM: I'll let you to the shouty version for +1, sure.
Wolfgang: did the bridge burn away?
Beltarne: Final Minor Healing to top him off.
Beltarne: Minor Healing (Holy) (16) [3d6.skill(16,1)] => [6,4,6] = 16 vs (17) or less Success! by 1 Includes: +4 from 'Power Investiture (Holy)'
GM: Wolfgang - not quite.
** Ghazeb licks his fur **
GM: That takes some time. What now?
Beltarne: Well, now I'm pondering whether slimes are worth money
Marik: We established last session that they aren't, I think.
Beltarne: Ruminating, as it were
GM: Not in their current heavily cooked state, now.
GM: I mean, no.
Wolfgang: poke around and keep a lookout for the annoying birds
Marik: Can we get more marching in before nightfall?
GM: The eagles are still shadowing you.
GM: Marik: yes.
Marik: Then once everyone is fit to move, I say we get underway.
Beltarne: "Shall we press onward to the cave?"
** Wolfgang makes faces at the eagles **
Wolfgang: "Yah, love to lose the birds first"
Wolfgang: "Be nice to keep our good or bad luck with the cave door from slimer the druid"
Beltarne: "I have a feeling that druid isn't going to be too happy if we show back up later."
Marik: "Unless you want me to start shooting them - in which case I'd lay even odds that rockhead will pop out of the ground -- then we're not really able to do anything about the eagles."
Beltarne: "Aye,that's so. I just hate being spied on."
Wolfgang: "I'm more than happy to play with rocky while you turkey shoot"
** Thasos snorts and points in the direction of the cave. **
Marik: How many eagles are shadowing us?
** Beltarne shrugs his shoulders unhappily, "Aye, to the cave" **
Ghazeb: how far off is the cave?
GM: 3, I think.
GM: The cave is maybe 30-45 minutes' walk up the hill.
Ghazeb: lets forget about the birds, we are here now.
Wolfgang: "Yah, I guess he knows where we're headed"
GM: Sounds like 4 votes for pressing on to the cave, then.
Narrator: Marik quickly leads his fellow delvers to the cave, unerringly retracing his former path.
GM: Everyone roll Vision-7
Minnizig: Vision [3d6.skill(13,-7)] => [3,5,5] = 13 vs (6) or less Failure! by 7
Ghazeb: Vision (11) [3d6.skill(11,-7)] => [5,1,4] = 10 vs (4) or less Failure! by 6
Beltarne: Vision (14) [3d6.skill(14,-7)] => [4,1,1] = 6 vs (7) or less Success! by 1
Marik: Vision: [3d6.skill(14,+2-7)] => [2,6,2] = 10 vs (9) or less Failure! by 1
Marik: Luck.
Marik: Vision: [3d6.skill(14,+2-7)] => [4,3,5] = 12 vs (9) or less Failure! by 3
Marik: Vision: [3d6.skill(14,+2-7)] => [1,3,3] = 7 vs (9) or less Success! by 2
Beltarne: ((Yar!))
Thasos: Vision (11) [3d6.skill(11,-7)] => [4,6,6] = 16 vs (4) or less Critical Failure! by 12 [B556]
Wolfgang: Vision (13) [3d6.skill(13,-7)] => [1,5,6] = 12 vs (6) or less Failure! by 6
whispering to Beltarne, There are some faint stone carvings on the wall "VD W H" and what looks to be an arrow pointing higher up on the wall.
whispering to Marik, There are some faint stone carvings on the wall "VD W H" and what looks to be an arrow pointing higher up on the wall.
Beltarne: "Are those carvings?"
whispering to Thasos, Marik and Beltarne are clambering over a bunch of natural rock fractures and looking like right fools.
** Thasos is busy looking in a different direction. He squints. **
Marik: "VD W H. Hmh. Mean anything to any of you?"
Beltarne: "Looks like it says, 'VD W H'... and an arrow?"
** Marik shoulders his bow and begins climbing the rock face. **
Beltarne: "What was the name of that alchemist?"
** Thasos goes over to where Marik and Beltarne is. He scratches his head. **
GM: Marik and Beltarne can make Search rolls. Thasos can make one, too.
Thasos: adding ST to move boulders?
Beltarne: Search (13) [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [1,6,2] = 9 vs (13) or less Success! by 4
Marik: Search: [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [1,3,4] = 8 vs (13) or less Success! by 5
Thasos: ST (13) [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [2,2,3] = 7 vs (13) or less Success! by 6
Thasos: for beltarne
GM: Search is not Strength, dude.
GM: No, it's a Search roll. You're looking for stuff, not moving boulders.
Thasos: fine... what's the default? :P
Marik: Per-5
GM: Yeah, that.
Thasos: Per (11) [3d6.skill(11,-5)] => [1,1,5] = 7 vs (6) or less Failure! by 1
GM: Well, Thasos gets in the way a bit, but you two eventually find a small crevice in which someone has tucked a book.
** Thasos is disappointed at the find. **
GM: The book is completely ruined, with most of the pages waterstained and the ink bled through. A few pages in the middle are more or less legible but Beltarne and Marik can't read them.
GM: There is also a small linen map stuck in the pages, slightly waterstained. See the MapTools map.
Waterstained Linen Map
Beltarne: Can Minnizig read the pages?
Wolfgang: can't read because it's ruined or a different language?
Minnizig: "Sure can't, but thanks for asking." She squints. "I've seen trade documents from beyond Shigrad that have writing like this, though."
GM: Some of the characters are weird and they are combined in ways that don't make any sense - as if someone fell asleep on a keyboard.
Beltarne: "Hmm.. isn't that where Thasos is from, roughly?"
Wolfgang: "Hmm, the map says something about the cave being the way, but the way back being a long walk."
Beltarne: Show the pages to Thasos, otherwise carefully store them for deciphering in town then enter the cave.
Wolfgang: "Maybe that door is a one way thing?"
** Thasos looks at the pages. **
whispering to Thasos, They don't make sense to you, beyond more from the Grad region than the Shi region.
whispering to Thasos, Ghazeb's from around there, you think.
** Marik takes the map and tries to reconcile it with those he already has, in order to figure out where we are in relation to the new map. **
** Thasos shakes his head. After a moment, he looks at Ghazeb and hands them over to him. **
** Ghazeb sits and licks his fur. **
GM: Marik, roll Cartography.
Ghazeb: "No thanks, Ghazeb does not need to go just now."
** Wolfgang peers over shoulders at the map **
Marik: Cartography: [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [3,3,6] = 12 vs (12) or less Success! by 0
** Ghazeb hands them back **
** Thasos opens his mouth, then quickly closes it and snorts. **
GM: Hard to say. At a rough guess, the blue line is the main road - heading west from Polisberg into the Sylwood Forest and Shelbury Tor (which is on your Sylwood Forest map) and southwest between two mountains toward Shining Lake.
Beltarne: "Aye, it looks like the door may be one way. I wonder if just opening it triggers whatever causes it to be so, or if we can at least check to make sure the key works without harm."
GM: The rest of that stuff you're not too sure about. Roughly guessing, you're near the writing between the blue and brown lines "Storm Pass to Deep Cave"
Ghazeb: ((kids want a snack, brb))
** Thasos stuffs the book in his backpack. **
Minnizig: Start to make a comment, then sighs and goes back to reading about faeries.
** Marik puts the map away with the others, and shrugs. "On to the cave." **
GM: As relevant note, from the harpy nest, Marik could see some woods and beyond then sharp black mountains to the WSW.
Beltarne: "What is it lass?"
Marik: So, Ebon Teeth and Silent Forest. Check.
Minnizig: "Should Thasos have that book? Can he even read it?
Marik: "It's an illegible cipher. I don't expect it's an issue."
Beltarne: "No one here can read it."
** Thasos points emphatically at Ghazeb. **
Minnizig: "Well, alright then."
GM: So now what?
** Thasos sighs and shrugs helplessly. **
Marik: Onward to the cave.
** Ghazeb points at the cave. **
Ghazeb: "Or we could go home. My fur is starting to itch."
Wolfgang: "Finding out what to expect in it might help"
Minnizig: "That's awful. Maybe I can find you an ointment or something to put on for that."
Marik: "What fur?"
** Ghazeb lucks sad **
** Beltarne chokes back a laugh. **
GM: Into the cave, then?
Marik: To the cave!
Beltarne: To the cave!
GM: I mean, you're standing right outside it, should be easy enough.
Wolfgang: again!
GM: Everyone roll Perception based traps at -9.
** Wolfgang remembers last time, goes last **
Marik: Traps: [3d6.skill(15,-9)] => [2,5,5] = 12 vs (6) or less Failure! by 6
Ghazeb: can I just not roll?
Wolfgang: Vision (13) [3d6.skill(13,-14)] => [3,6,4] = 13 vs (-1) or less Critical Failure! by 14 [B556]
GM: Sure!
Marik: Hm, vision doesn't help that.
Beltarne: I can't roll
Thasos: Per (11) [3d6.skill(11,-9)] => [6,1,4] = 11 vs (2) or less Failure! by 9
Wolfgang: yah, I will not roll if allowed since it's hopeless
Minnizig: Traps [3d6.skill(14,-9)] => [5,5,5] = 15 vs (5) or less Critical Failure! by 10 [B556]
Thasos: oh... should i not have rolled then?
Beltarne: Well, wolfgang and Thasos both have skills below 3
Beltarne: right
Thasos: can we assume I'm not poking around with a finger then?
Narrator: The delvers walk into the cave, turning left and then right as they make their way through the forboding rock passages. Suddenly, Ghazeb feels a slight pressure around his ankle and then the passage fills with the sound of clanging pans and bells.
Ghazeb: "Why me?"
GM: You were slightly in the lead.
GM: What are people up to?
Marik: "Pans and bells. I can live with that."
Ghazeb: "Why Ghazeb?"
Beltarne: "Better than last time."
** Marik melts against the wall and hides. **
GM: Roll it, Marik.
** Beltarne readies his axe and looks fierce **
Marik: Stealth: [3d6.skill(19,-5)] => [4,3,4] = 11 vs (14) or less Success! by 3
** Thasos tries to get into the shadows as well. **
Marik: Hey, I made a roll against 14!
Thasos: Stealth (15) [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [6,6,1] = 13 vs (15) or less Success! by 2
GM: Roll Stealth -5, Thasos...
GM: Okay, you're hidden.
Ghazeb: me too
** Wolfgang readies his shield and a hatchet **
GM: Roll Stealth -5, Ghazeb.
Ghazeb: Stealth (15) [3d6.skill(15,-5)] => [2,4,5] = 11 vs (10) or less Failure! by 1
GM: Various people hide.
GM: Now what?
Beltarne: Advance slowly
Ghazeb: yup.
GM: People who are advancing can move up to 7 hexes.
** Wolfgang will hide if everyone else is **
Wolfgang: DX (14) [3d6.skill(14,-5)] => [1,6,4] = 11 vs (9) or less Failure! by 2
Ghazeb: "which way?"
Narrator: As the delvers creep up to the fork in the passage, they can see a stack of kegs and barrels blocking the left passage that leads to the locked door.
Ghazeb: "Left it is."
Beltarne: "Hmm... a barricade, or a trap?"
Ghazeb: "One way to find out."
GM: Ghazeb, that's your 7 hexes.
Beltarne: Keeping my shield between me and the barrels as much as possible, I advance.
GM: I'm assuming that people are where they want to be.
Wolfgang: this an attempt at a barricade or total blockage?
** Marik looks around. "Wait about thirty seconds before you do anything rash." **
GM: If that's not correct, you need to move forward up to 7 hexes.
Marik: "Oh, bugrit. Rash action away."
GM: This is a barricade. You could climb over it with a DX check.
GM: ... I mean, you can get over it, failing the DX check would just involve landing heavily on the other side.
Beltarne: "what would giving it 30 seconds earn us?"
** Ghazeb kicks the lead barrel. **
** Thasos tries to stop him. **
GM: Your foot hurts. They're pretty heavy barrels.
** Thasos puts a finger to his lips. **
** Ghazeb shrugs and starts climbing. **
Ghazeb: DX (16) [3d6.skill(16,0)] => [3,1,1] = 5 vs (16) or less Critical Success! by 11 [B556]
** Marik whispers, "I was going to cut around and come at them from the other side, but carry on. This is too funny to miss." **
** Thasos rolls his eyes and climbs after him. **
GM: Ghazeb, make a Vision-2 roll as you clamber over the barricade.
** Thasos does a leaping flip over the barrels. **
** Beltarne whispers to the darkness behind him, "There's another way around?" **
Thasos: Acrobatics (15) [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [2,4,1] = 7 vs (15) or less Success! by 8
Ghazeb: Vision (11) [3d6.skill(11,-2)] => [5,5,1] = 11 vs (9) or less Failure! by 2
GM: Thasos, make a Vision -4 roll.
Thasos: Vision (11) [3d6.skill(11,-4)] => [1,4,5] = 10 vs (7) or less Failure! by 3
GM: Ghazeb, take [1d6-2] => [6,-2] = (4) (2) piercing damage to your foot as you step on a caltrop.
GM: Uhm... that was unclear. DR is halved against this.
Ghazeb: Ouch, watch out guys.
GM: Thasos, take [1d6-2] => [4,-2] = (2) and [1d6-2] => [1,-2] = (-1) and [1d6-2] => [1,-2] = (-1) AD2 piercing damage to your feet as you step on caltrops.
GM: Also, both of you make HT-2 rolls.
Thasos: how much damage is that effectively?
Ghazeb: HT (13) [3d6.skill(13,-2)] => [1,4,6] = 11 vs (11) or less Success! by 0
Thasos: HT (13) [3d6.skill(13,-2)] => [4,1,1] = 6 vs (11) or less Success! by 5
GM: Actually, Thasos should take [1d6] => [2] = (2) and [1d6] => [3] = (3) and [1d6] => [2] = (2)
Beltarne: ((Backflipping onto caltrops hurts more))
** Thasos leans back against the barrels to pull the caltrops out. **
GM: Thasos takes no damage after DR. Ghazeb takes 3 points after DR. The poison the caltrops are liberally coated in does not effect either of you.
** Thasos glares at Ghazeb. **
Ghazeb: "What?"
** Ghazeb shrugs. **
** Marik isn't laughing, honest. **
** Ghazeb carefully moves on. **
Goblins: Crossbow to Thasos [3d6.skill(15,10-4-6)] => [1,1,2] = 4 vs (15) or less Critical Success! by 11 [B556]
Goblins: [3d6.crit_hit()] => [3,2,1] = 6 The blow inflicts maximum normal damage. [B556]
** Thasos waves over the barrels at the others to come over slowly. **
Thasos: no dodge?
Marik: On a critical success for an attack from stealth?
Narrator: As Thasos waves to the other delvers, a crossbow bolt suddenly penetrates his armpit.
** Thasos takes a bolt as he waves. **
GM: You take 11 impaling, DR protects normally, for end result of 14.
GM: Roll for Berserk. Then consciousness.
Beltarne: ((Heh))
Thasos: Resist Berserk (15-) [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [4,4,1] = 9 vs (15) or less Success! by 6
Thasos: HT (13) [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [3,6,2] = 11 vs (13) or less Success! by 2
GM: Okay, you're in hefty pain.
GM: Let's get this party started.

Beltarne: moving south between the barrels and the wall
GM: At half speed and DX roll. There's not a lot of space, though there is some.
Beltarne: Are my defenses going to be comprimised from stuff firing from that southern tunnel?
GM: The south tunnel? You might open up your flank.

Beltarne: DX (12) [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [6,4,5] = 15 vs (12) or less Failure! by 3

Thasos: how small are these barrels? i thought i was crouched behind them, out of site.
GM: There are several goblins crouched or prone behind another pair of barrels on the far side of the chasm.

Narrator: Thasos' shot wraps over the goblin's head and strikes him in the back. The goblin tries to block, but isn't fast enough and goes sprawling forward as his ribs crack.
Thasos: mark, isn't he facing beltarne?
GM: He's facing you, he knows that kusaris and flails can pull that trick, he's allowed to defend at -2.

(on deck: [22] Lizard)


GM: ...
GM: So there's a minion with an axe, a shock lizard, and a cripple.
Beltarne: Wanna call it?
Marik: Wait, are these those same goblins we told to never come back here again?
GM: That was my thought, yes.
Beltarne: Fine by me.
GM: Well, two of the guys on the pallets are. There are other cripples in the room.
Marik: Man, we are so not heroes.
GM: The big guy, the guy with the crossbow, thug #1, and the warrior - you haven't seen these guys before.
GM: They have the same shield blazon, though.
Wolfgang: bah, they're goblins
Beltarne: What are you talking about, they're green. That's green for "okay to slaughter"
Minnizig: "They all look the same to me. Which is to say, ugly and malformed. Fungi shouldn't walk around like that."
** Thasos nods. **
Beltarne: Seriously, yes, we're kinda a-holes
** Wolfgang agrees with beltarne **
Beltarne: Then again, they eat sentients
** Ghazeb gasp and coughs up blood. **
Beltarne: and tried to eat Minnizig, IIRC
Wolfgang: ((yah, pretty much an anti-green racist for this character))
Minnizig: "Which shouldn't be held against them, because they are sentient themselves. Trees with teeth or something."
Beltarne: Are we calling it Mark?
GM: Calling the fight, certainly.
Beltarne: All in favor?
Beltarne: Aye
Marik: Right. We kicked in the door, we'll kill all the monsters, and then we'll loot the place.
GM: If you guys want to do anything else, there's 20 minutes or so.
Beltarne: Well, try the door, I suppose.
Beltarne: And I'm taking one of those crossbows.
Marik: Loot the place, and find out if our shiny new key opens the door.
Wolfgang: murder not quite dead gobbos
GM: Alright.
GM: There are less goblins now.
GM: Much less.
Beltarne: OK, healing Ghazeb
Marik: "Maybe if Ghazeb pulls through this, we can find some more maggot-ridden meat for him to chew on."
Beltarne: First Aid
Wolfgang: any loot? hopefully they got paid up front for this
Beltarne: First Aid/TL3 (Humanoid) (15) [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [6,1,6] = 13 vs (15) or less Success! by 2 Conditional: +1 from 'First Aid Kit'

GM: They have crossbows, leather armor, hand axes, medium shields... the one who attacked from behind has an axe - Wolfgang thinks its orcish made in a dwarven pattern.
** Wolfgang looks at Thasos in confusion **
Wolfgang: "We'll divide it all up in town"
Beltarne: I'm gonna rest up and then do healing slumber on Ghazeb.
Beltarne: We'll stay the night here
Wolfgang: "Bah, what a clumsy attempt"
GM: Well, it has the Dwarven quality.
Wolfgang: "I've got some healing potions if that would help the furless nut"
Thasos: that armor... how much it weigh?
Beltarne: Healing Slumber (Holy) (16) [3d6.skill(16,+2)] => [2,6,2] = 10 vs (18) or less Success! by 8 Includes: +4 from 'Power Investiture (Holy)'
GM: Lots, same as last time.
GM: 'cause its the same stuff.
Wolfgang: "I guess they did an OK job on the axe, I bet someone will buy it"
GM: And they have 1-2 suits of scale armor, some of it slightly dirty as they had to dig it out of wherever you tossed it.
Wolfgang: "Still, orc, bah"
Beltarne: What ST are the x-bows?
GM: Most are ST16.
GM: One is ST18.
Beltarne: Is there a goat's foot? And can I use lifting ST to cock an x-bow?
GM: There are like a dozen goats feet.
GM: And yes, lifting ST to cock a crossbow seems appropriate to me.
GM: Well... with a goat's foot, by hand is Striking ST.
Beltarne: K, grabbing a goat's foot and the ST 18 x-bow.
GM: Fine.
Beltarne: And 20 bolts and a quiver
Wolfgang: how many HP is Ghazeb down?
GM: He's at -9 after Beltarne heals him.
Thasos: shit
Beltarne: He'll be better off after a night's sleep
** Thasos looks at Ghazeb grimly. **
GM: Do you guys want to try to open the door tonight or save it for another night?
Beltarne: I can major heal him again too.
Thasos: we have 10 minutes
Wolfgang: I'll pour an minor healing pot down his gullet
Thasos: let's do it
Marik: You know what? Another night sounds like a good plan.
Beltarne: Major Healing (Holy) (15) [3d6.skill(15,+2-3)] => [5,1,1] = 7 vs (14) or less Success! by 7 Includes: +4 from 'Power Investiture (Holy)'
Wolfgang: [1d6+2] => [4,2] = (6)
