I have been terribly lazy in regards to updating this journal. Sorry, guys. Continued from before..
SESSION IV, PART IAfter the battle was concluded (and some healing was performed), the heroes explored a door on the other side of the room. After a quick examination, the door was unlocked....revealing what appeared to be a treasure room of some sort. Inside, were four wooden chests.
The chests were carefully examined and then opened, though, of course with the aid of some well-rolled skill checks...
Each of them had a poison needle, which was carefully identified and nullifed. Inside the chests were gold, as well as these unusual obsidian coins.
At this point, the characters are searching the rest of the room....just in case there's a detail they might have missed. Well, they find something. In the room is a nearly-imperceptible energy fluctuation. Horatio identifies it as another one of those
Resonance Portals. :hmm:
After this, things get completely stupid. For reasons that escape me, Horatio decides to demonstrate to Simon how the
Resonance Portal operates...however, he does so by using Simon as unwilling guinea pig, and transports him against his will. He uses the portal to only transport him a few feet, but our resident Monk is outraged. Simon smacks Horatio around a bit...:duh:
It gets worse. Even though it was only subdual damage, we were using the
Paizo Critical Hit Deck, and the card drawn caused Horatio to suffer an ungodly amount of damage, coupled with
long-term memory loss. :jaw-dropping:
That's it. It was on, and imurrx's other PC, Kratos was pissed. Pretty soon, Simon and Kratos were getting into a major slapfight, and Simon was getting the worst of it....
Meanwhile, Aurelia had gone outside the room, into the hallway, to do some exploring. Suddenly, she heard a munching noise behind the door of the room where the party previously fought some Orcs and a Troll. She opens the door and sees...
...Grom munching on a sandwich.
Aurelia: "Grom!"
Grom and Aurelia are reunited, and return to the rest of the party.
Simon and Kratos are involved in a major argument, and it looks like the fight will continue. Before things got any worse, in walks Grom, the Troll, asking:
Grom: "Why are all these dead bodies in here?" :confused:
To be continued....
Edit: I edited this because I misremembered some details.
