Dungeon Raid (Surraruthru, Moore)

[Iron Dragoon]

Okay, well... I can advance down and see how they react. In an emergency, I can pick things up that aren't held by other creatures during a time stop, right? I have one use left, so I can blast down, pick it up, and blast back up. My speed is 100ft, so that should be enough. If I get more than two rounds, I can look for additional items, maybe. Unless you have another idea, Neph?

[Nephrite]

I think that's fine.

[Anastasia]

Okay, ball's in your court then.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Okay, I'm going to try for it. Let's see how they react."

Surraruthru cautiously descends down towards the armor, watching the creatures and preparing to cast Time Stop at the first sign of aggression.

[Anastasia]

You begin to go down - when you clear 40ft and past the tunnel, the creatures begin to approach you. Tentacles lash out and writhe, rising up in your direction.

Go ahead with time stoppery.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru casts his spell, hoping to freeze the world long enough to get some good loot!

Time Stop, CL 25.
> roll 1d4+1 Time Stop
<Serith> Iddy roll for Serith < 4 > [d4=3]

1st Round: Down Speed towards the armor, should be a move action.
Standard: stow away the armor into haversack.

2nd Round: Do a quick look around for anything additional.

[Anastasia]

Strength score?

[Iron Dragoon]

23. +6

[Anastasia]

The armor is beautiful. It is full plate armor, engraved with shimmering gold patterns and inlaid with mithral. The armor glows with its own inner blue light and is quite heavy to lift. Fortunately, you're strong enough to break it apart as you need to and get it into your haversack.

Spot.

[Iron Dragoon]

> roll 1d20+35 Spot
<Serith> Iddy roll for Serith < 40 > [d20=5]

[Anastasia]

The mud is thick and you can see the occasional thing poking out of it. A few notable things:

- Several bones of varying size.

- The hilt of a sword, barely visible.

- The end of a thin stick.

- An iron gauntlet.

[Iron Dragoon]

So I'm not 100% clear on distances and actions required here. I've got two rounds left, how far are the items and how many rounds would it take to pick them up? I need one round to get back up to the others, so I'm guessing I can only get one?

[Anastasia]

Oh sorry, that was a serious omission. Whoops!

Bones are dotted about, closest is 25ft away. Sword's 40ft away, stick's 50ft away. Finally, the gauntlet's 15ft away. Yes, move+standard to get one would take a round's action.

[Iron Dragoon]

Assuming I'm still on Round 2, I also have no idea what the pattern/spread of each item is, so I'm assuming the most efficient route is Gauntlet -> Sword -> Stick.
Round 2, Cont: Fly to the Gauntlet and pick it up and stow it away.

Round 3: Fly to the Sword and pick it up and stow it away.

Round 4: Cast Summon Monster 7, CL 25 (Trading 8 for 1d4+1 creatures) calling Large Storm Elementals, placing them between myself and the creatures at 85 feet from me.
> roll 1d4+1 Summons
<Serith> Iddy roll for Serith < 2 > [d4=1]

Time Resumes.

[Anastasia]

The gauntlet is a sturdy iron gauntlet with leather strips. Looks like something a warrior would wear.

The sword is cracked but otherwise unrusted, despite being submerged in foul smelling mud.

Time resumes as you summon the elementals. Thunder and lightning crackles as Finnegan blinks, "The hell is - oh hell." He says, looking down.

Elementals get to act in a surprise round and then we'll go back into init.
