Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh (This is the Game Thread)

[Breila]

ooc: didn't find how dex modifies initiative, so a plain D10:

1d10=6


Like Amon, Kim thinks the rats are just the usual nuisance and will soon look for some hole to hide in again.

[The_Muffin_Man]

Searos has his sword out and is warily watching the tide of vermin unsure of what to do but considering hiding behind Brax.

ooc: I also didn't know dex modified init so here's a d10. Is it reaction bonus?

1d10= 4

[JadedDM]

(OOC: In the official rules, it doesn't. It's a house rules. I assumed she meant the reaction adjustment, myself, hence I added a +1 to mine, as Amon has poor DEX.)

[LittleLuna]

die roll for Vee
1d10-1=1

(ooc: could be Rats the holy animals for Kord? I'd like to shock you all... )

[Jenara]

(For your tribe, why not. )

[HorizonsDream]

Echo stays up on the step that she hopped up on. Though, she couldn't help but glance at Brax as she started to turn pale. "For a person that use to live underground, you would think you wouldn't have a problem with rats," she says with a smirk. Much like Amon, Echo uses a cantrip to keep the rats away for the time being.

OOC: (How many rats are we talking about here?)

1d10 (10)

[Jenara]

(Hard to count but at least 30. Away till this evening. 12 hours, will properly post then.)

[Jenara]

Echo and Kim Stand up on the stairs as they creak, the Rats do not appear to want to go that way, instead they swarm over towards the petrified Brax (and Searos).

Brax does not move, staying rooted to the spot.

Init:

Vee 1
Searos 2
Brax 4
Kim 6
Rats 7
Gunter 8
Amon 10


------

Brax 1d10=4
Gunter 1d10=8
Rats 1d10=7

Rolled for Gunter to move things along.

[Breila]

Looking down, Kim asks: "Brax? Is anything wrong?"

[Jenara]

"I can handle a pit of Splders, they are no problem. Spiders are useful." She moves quickly as a Rat approaches. "But Rats... If you had seen the things I have seen involving these Nasty Vermin Carriers. " She screams, jumping towards Searos, almost falling into his arms.

[Breila]

"Calm down, they will look for the nearest hole to hide in" advises Kim.

[Jenara]

"That, I am afraid is the problem!" Brax responds, "Sorry Master Searos." She adds.

Right need actions from Searos and Vee, then Brax will run to the stairs.

[The_Muffin_Man]

Searos seems more surprised by Brax leaping into his arms than by the rats themselves, almost skewering her with his broadsword out of reflex.

"Uhh... no worries bright eyes..."

Other than that, Searos just tries to stay out of the way of the scuttling horde, preparing to nobly strike them down at a moment's notice.

(ooc: are the rats actually attacking anything or just running around the room Benny Hill style?)

[Jenara]

The Rats mill about randomly (yes imagine the Benny Hill), they dart from left to right and eventually vanish.

(ooc: just wanted to see what you guys would do)

Brax shivers one more time, she breathes a sigh of relief, shuddering almost in the Thief's arms. "Thank you..." She says clearing her throat, "I suspect we should go upstairs?"

[Robbo]

"I'm with you Brax...it seems like sometimes the littlest creatures are the ones to be feared the most in our line of work."

He looks up the steps to the hallway above while testing one of the stairs with his weight.

"Could be something nasty up there...Searos, I don't suppose you'd like to lead the way?"
