OOC: Fire, check the narrow point in the east end down there before you come up pls?
OOC: Oooo, I actually get to choose something. Hmmmm......any permanent effect ones available? Toughness maybe?

Name: Gran Has Devil's Thorn scratched into the palm of her hand. 0-level Occupation: Ostler Wizard 1 (Cultist) Strength: 13 (+1) Agility: 14 (+1) Stamina: 5 (-2) She's as old as the hills. What did you expect? Personality: 14 (+1) Intelligence: 16 (+2) Luck: 14-1=13 current (+1) AC: 11; HP: 3; Weap...

OOC: Fire, I gotta do something like that for Gran. Gonna take some time though. Looks like I get 6 spells at 1st level because of high intelligence (16, +2), so gonna roll for those now. Slippery slope is interesting, but at least can choose one to start studying for a week. How much time has passe...

Ooo, good question. I always wondered that. Reminds me of the real life "I guess his luck just ran out"

By my count, you should be at 11. OOC: wow, we actually made it to first level. That was quite a funnel. Class choice is not random, I assume, so Gran will be a Wizard. Cultist Gran. Should I roll for spells or does she just get the ones in the book? HP+1d4=total 5HP, yay! No longer a one-hit-wonde...

OOC: Sorry. I haven't been updating my character sheet very well, and now need to go back through the entire thread to count XP. Haven't had the chance to do that yet.

OOC: Yay!

Gran continues to shower arrows on the creature.
6+2=8 to hit
6 damage

18 damage!
The pieces of Nan's body fly apart. Her blood sprays the walls of the well.
Gran throws up.

Initiative 6.

If Nan has a chance to do anything before she dies, she has an 18 to attack, and hits the trashheap with her shovel for 2 dmg
Gran shoots again from topside, of course, 17+1+1=19! 2 dmg. "Die, murderous creature!"

OOC: Sorry for taking so long. Would you believe the Halloween season is a busy time of year for me?

Woo hoo! Okay, this means (thanks to Guang) I had a lantern! And to think I was only thinking of making sure the area was lighted up. I was expecting half-flooded catacombs and caverns. But glad to be of service, even accidentally :) Gran will shoot again, of course, unless she has a chance of hitt...

2 (modified by +1 luck) =1 My incompetent blow makes me the laughingstock of the party, but causes no other damage. I have no idea what would be funny enough to make Amalthea laugh at me while she's being cornered down in a well, but apparently it happened. Gran nocks another arrow, and will fire if...

OOC: Nan originally had 10 luck, but she spend 1 or 2 somewhere along the line. Cool, Nan's still alive then? Wow......luck is a nice mechanism. Okay...... Nan spends 7 luck, and doesn't die. She ducks under the water and starts feeling along the ground at the bottom of the well for the holy symbol....

OOC: Nah, I checked. Gran was using the cards, but Amalthea was holding them. You still have them.
OOC: Only 5 XP? I thought for sure we would have had 7 or 8 by now!

I'll even be so generous as to give her a DC 10 Reflex save to avoid damage altogether. OOC: Oh, you are so evil. Of course I'm going to fail the save, it's a definite Murphy's law situation. I'm thinking that there are only 2 non-hidden places for the holy symbol to be. One is within the construct...

OOC: How far up the rope is Nan before she goes down it? Is the well cylindrical, or does it bulge out at the bottom? What diameter is the bottom, at water level?

Edit: ok, more awake now. OOC: so this well seems to be really just a well, right? Not access to the sewer system of the valley, or the underdark, or what have you. At least so far as our characters can see? Just a shallow well, with a little bit of water, a dead goat, and a moving pile of junk, not...

Sigh. Probably not the best idea, but if someone is to be sacrificed, then it should be Nan. But she does get behind the goat and crouches down in the water. Initiative 10. Gran is up top, drawing a bead on the creature with her bow and arrow. If it attacks the pair down below, and she has a clear s...

OOC: The goat is dead then? Too bad, it really added flavor. Think we'll find a goat-shaped cornhusk doll? IC: Gran and Nan move to join Amalthia behind the goat. Gran will shoot if the debris moves towards us, but not until it does. Nan also readies her heaviest weapon. OOC: I'm thinking the debris...

OOC: huh. I thought we had determined a fall would be safe. Too much minecraft surviving 100s of meters fall in 1 meter water. Sorry about that, fire. OOC: Am I close enough to do anything about the animated debris? If Amalthea were to climb back up, can I climb to get out of her way? Or are Nan and...

Nice. Gran waits for Amalthea to get clear, then drops the goat into the water
OOC: Feel free to have the elf yell for Gran to stop if you don't want the goat down with us, Fire.
IC: Gran and Nan climb down and join Amalthea.

OOC: Nan is maybe mid-30s. Gran is older than anyone has any right to be.
OOC: Do you have a lantern? If not, Gran helps you tie one on so both hands are free. Nan watches for phantoms. Good luck, and come back quick if you need to. We can always send Nan......

OOC: 3 of us, so basically we have a choice, I think. a. Send a scout down the well to prepare the way (if possible) for the rest of us to jump down. No return possible if we do jump. b. Check out the graveyard, probably lose another PC, and have to jump down the well sight unseen. c. Pound a stake ...

OOC: I have 2 characters left. Nan and Gran. My lack of imagination in coming up with names has caught up with me.
