Episode 26: Find the Lair, part 3

 

Turn 6, we reach the Keeper and put him down in one turn. He had been softened up a little by the Ranger earlier in the combat.

Once the Keeper died, we have to roll on the following chart:

 
We don't want a roll of 1-2 for sure. But its hard to say if we can take on a full Keeper of Secrets, so maybe we want the 3-4 result. We give the roll to the Ranger as he still has one point of Luck left (the rest of us have spent all our luck).

He rolls a 4. We can choose to use his Luck to push it to the 5-6 result. The scenario isn't clear if this is a new combat or a continuation of the previous combat. This is relevant for our once per combat abilities and spells, but also relevant if the Keeper gets to Ambush again. I  put it to a die roll on a 4+ its a new combat, otherwise a continuation. We rolled new combat. With that knowledge, we decided to push the result to the 5-6 result. The Keeper gets back up, its a new combat. The Keeper rolls his 2+ Ambush, but the Ranger's Mangy Cat negate the ambush.

Turn 1 of new combat, we do Ok damage taking him from 84 wounds down to 50 something. Monster's Phase Turn 1, between spells and attacks causes a fair number of wounds but doesn't take anyone down.

Turn 2 of combat, we do some more damage  and get him down below 30 wounds. 

Monster's Phase Turn 2, Keeper brings down the Wardancer and leaves the Pit Fighter at 2 wounds. 

Turn 3, we manage to finish the Keeper off for real this time.

With the bonus Luck for finding Objective Room Treasure we find the above items. We imediatly use the Rune Staff to move the Rune on the Ranger's Current bow, to the new Dragon Bow. My Pit Fighter picks up the Sword of Khaine. The Wardancer snags the Warpjump Spell Ring.

We set out from here to go back to the Harbor Settlement we came from.

The first Travel Hazard of note: Training Grounds. The Warrior Priest couldn't benefit from this. The rest of us were able to roll 8 or higher and switched one normal class skill for another class skill. 

My Fighter dropped ambidextrous for Critical Strike (bypass Ignore Pain on a natural 5+ to hit). The Ranger dropped Elven Sight and got Precision Strikes (Assassinate 6+). Wardancer dropped Shadow's Coil Dance for Battle Blades (full benefits from using two 1 handed weapons)

 

 

 

 

The 2nd Travel Hazard of note: We got attacked by a Lamassu & a Griffon. 

Turn 1, the Priest & Wardancer moved up to and we able to kill the Lamassu before it got a turn.

 

 

 Monster's Phase turn 2, the Griffon tried to kill the Pit Fighter. Between the Pit Figher's higher WS, Dodge (5+), survived the first turn of attacks.

 

 

 

 

Turn 2, the Griffon gets ganked by the 4 of us.

 We make it to town and everyone has enough gold to level up to LVL 8 so we do. We find an adventure and head out to it.

We will cover that in the next post.

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

DeMagic Tutor out.
