LPDnD: Raging Bull

[Whiteness]

Oh, silver lining, a miss is half damage!

[Staris]

Stavis hearing the minotaur yell "FOR ORCUS!" quickly jumps into action, quicky coming to the conclusion that diplomacy as moved quickly into fighting for obvious reasons, moving into position and attacks with Stirring Shout.

"Followers of Orcus will quickly be dealt with!"

Attack Roll(1d20)+8:

After being able to vent a bit after hear Orcus will apply Echoing Weapon on Tony's weapon.

Effect: Until the end of your next turn, the next weapon attack made with the target weapon deals 2d6 thunder game to one target of the attack, regardless of the whether the attack hits or misses.

[Blackferne]

Syric rushes to the Minotaur and swings having his sword stopped by the armor doing no damage to the bovine bastard. He draws in himself and does another attack which while missing still manages to do some damage to the minotaur.

Stavis's stirring shout lands, but his insult seems to bounce right off the bovine.

Victae follows behind syric and marks the target with a combat challenge
"Syric don't worry, this bull will be a steer soon enough!"

[Furiel]

"Hey tall, hooved and bleeding, when you see Orcus, tell him Tony Plush will have some more of his followers headed back to him shortly!"

[Jimer Lins]

That's a double max for 72 points. He is now bloodied.

Trinal laughs. "My goodness, Victae. Do leave some for us, would you?"

[Blackferne]

Tony's blade finds a gap in his armor and stabs him in the back dropping the beast but not before he swings his axe in dying desperation.

Victae looks at the party.

"I don't like Orcus."

[Jimer Lins]

"Remind me never to go as Orcus to a costume ball."

Trinal looks around uneasily. "This feels too easy. Be on your guard."

[Whiteness]

Ardent surge on himself to get back to full health.

"Let's find that mantle and get out of here."

[ooc That was supposed to be a lot harder. I obviously didn't factor in a 72pt crit (Note Victae didn't take the extra 2d6 like she should have which could have killed him) when deciding to put you guys against a level 10 brute as a bossish fight. It reminds me of an adventure I ran in high school:

screen goes wavy in flashback mode

I was running an adventure that was basically Heart of Darkness/Apocolypse Now. The party had found Kurtz who was some badass wizard. We played with a house rule that crits would target specific parts of the body. Well Isaac won initiative and the first attack he rolled a crit and then got 100 on the body part table which was instant decapitation. I was like 'well crap...now what do I do....fuck it let me spawn some random demons to fight'

screen unwaves back to modern day

I always felt cheap just randomly spawning extra demons to fight as it didn't jive with the story. A win is a win, and I shouldn't do things just because I'm a DM. So the minotaur is dead.]

[Blackferne]

You search him and find no mantle. He did mention he put it on a shelf someplace.

On him you do find a purse with 1,006gp, Deathcut Hide Armor +2, and a 2h Battle Axe +2

Deathcut Hide Armor
Property: Resist 5 poison and necrotic
Daily Power: Immediate Reaction, after hit by a melee attack, do 1d10 + Chr Mod necrotic damage to attacker.

Battle Axe is 1d12 (+2 to attack and +2 to damage, Axe weapon group, Property:high crit) High crit means if you crit with the Axe you get a bonus 1d12 of damage.

[Jimer Lins]

Trinal scans the walls and so forth for a shelf.

Perception: d20+4=15+4=19

Ah well. It was fun trying to intimidate a minotaur. But it was obvious it wasn't going to end well when he insisted on either Kyros or us.

[Blackferne]

Trinal looks for a shelf. There is no shelf nearby, but near the end of the hall southbound is a break in the wall heading east.

[Blackferne]

"If no one else wants that two handed axe, I could train with it and gain some proficiency I'm sure." Gobo says.

[Whiteness]

"I guess onward we go." as Syric begins to head towards the end of the hall.

[Maizan]

I was ready to run out and shoot the SOB and he falls over before I can draw. Thanks for leaving a bit of fun to us non negotiators! If no one wants the deathcut hide, I will use it. We should divide up the coin now as well, so it is not worried about later. says Spintik

[Blackferne]

Everyone but Syric and Victae will get 126gp
Syric and Victae take 125gp

[Furiel]

"Sorry man, Tony Plush can't help it he was a giant pussy."

Moving on down the hall to the south

Perception for traps: [dice]0[/dice]

[Blackferne]

You travel south and get to the break in the eastern wall. Poking your head through you see what you can only assume was the minotaurs living quarters. It is a basic stove, a pile of hay bedding, some rations, and what looks to be a small shrine to Orcus.

[Jimer Lins]

Trinal will do a bit of looking around.

Perception: d20+4=20+4=24

Perception: d20+4=20+4=24

Looking around you find living supplies and something which is probably extremely useful, a marked map of the labyrinth.

Red stars are traps. Green stars are his allies. Fleece is where the mantle is. The blue dot is where you guys are at the moment.

The only 3 dangers you have NOT faced and deactivated or killed are E1, T3, and T4.

[Jimer Lins]

"Well, this seems useful."
