Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

OOC: Well, I rolled a 5 this time. 😅

That gives me a whopping 9 HP. 😁

(I might be in trouble.)

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Ability scores:  Kondor will take the 18 Strength, because it's what he uses most. Might as well do a better job slaying than I've been doing, math-wise at least.

Character sheet: I'm going to look for a fillable character sheet I can update on a PDF, like I have for a DCC game I'm in. I've been reliant upon the GM, and while it's best to have my work checked, I'd like to at least appear like I'm doing the work, lol.

Found it!  And filled it out based on the sheet You'd sent, plus iirc he's gone up a level to 5th?
Attaching it here, if the site will let me...

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Whoops missed a couple fields.
Kondor's WEAPON COMBAT  "to hit' modifier should be +3 and "damage" = d8(2d6)+4 for Bastard Sword
and +2 to hit and d6+3 damage with the hand axe.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Gundrabu continues a slow and careful descent into the depths of the well.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Armed with his faith in the Kraken, the Esquimeaux cleric steps deeper into the fount. After another 60 ft the drippings of wax finally run dry. Another 60 ft he guesses, and now sees that the pricks of soft white light emit from 4 daggers stabbed into the very stone walls near the bottom.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Are the daggers equidistant one from the other, of a level in the stone of what I imagine to be a cylindrical well? What does the bottom of the well look like? Is there an apparent surface, or is it full of water? If it’s a surface, can Gundrabu reach the daggers while standing on it? If he tries to descend to the bottom, does a dagger (or more) get in his way?

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

There is no water at the bottom, It looks like stone down there.
The daggers are equidistant from one other on a single plane.
The daggers look like they are likely planted 8 ft. above the bottom.
​The fount is nearly 15 diameter, there is plenty of room to descend between the lighted daggers.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Kondor will climb down, as soon as there's space for him.

Noted, at current Gundrabu is almost 60 ft below, and Tillak is in your way .

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Gundrabu climbs all the way down to the floor, ignoring the daggers for now. He doesn’t want to do anything that will disrupt the light.

Once at the bottom, if nothing else happens, he awaits the others for conference.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

After completing his descent, Gundrabu waits at the bottom staring into the gape of four tunnels surrounding him and leading into darkness, each's opening set back underneath a lighted dagger.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Seeing that Kondor wishes to move, Tillak follows Gundrabu. If able to, he holds the war pick in his right hand. If not, he uses both hands to assist his descent.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Unfortunately, the stone steps jutting out are very narrow, and Tillak's current diminished constitution, lack of food, and water leaves him too woozy to not use both hands to balance against the wall.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Tillak girds himself and reaches out towards the wall as he begins his descent following his fellow Esquimaux into the pit below. 
"Ythaqqa's blood and bones! This pit wll be the death of us all." Tillak growls under his breath.
