Sorry for the late turn. Didn't notice ggamer had posted.

Use grappling hook to go up another level
Damn zombies. Best just to get out of here. Now where's that ladder... (2) You swing around your grappling hook, but you don't find the ladder. (6) At least those zombies aren't attacking you anymore... That's a good thing, right? (6) Hey! The lights came on! And all of the zombies are gone... Even the ones you cut into tiny pieces... That's odd. The room you're in has empty cages built into the walls. There are no portholes. There's a ladder up into the hold and two doors on either end of the room, on the fore and aft (front and back) sides. (2) The boat rocks, like it's been hit with a cannonball! No water is rushing in, so the hull must be fine.
Ax rolled his eyes. "Yeah, sure. Like I want to meet up with my gods-damned dad. I wouldn't even BE here if I didn't have something important to do." He glared at the female Tiefling. "Besides, isn't it hypocritical for you to be calling me out on being a Tiefling?" He held up his left hand and moved it in an imitation of a mouth, mirroring his right hand. "Oh hi Mrs. Pot, my name's Kettle, so good to meet you. Say, aren't you awfully black? There, that funny enough for this guy or what?" he asked. "Anyway, if you mean the one idiot who jumped me in the alley, it was his own damn fault. I wasn't necessarily out to kill him but if one of us was going to have to die it wasn't going to be me, that's for damn sure."
He sighed. "That guy claimed he was the best of your guild... and you know I killed him. So, if I felt inclined to try... what's to stop me from taking that knife away from you and cutting off your ears and sticking them up your nose?" he asked the man behind him, going for the intimidation route.
(1+1-1(He's got a knife to your throat.)) He's not impressed. He grabs you around the chest with a lizard-like hand, and his talons scratch you enough to draw blood. Guess that isn't a knife at your throat after all. The woman says, "Maybe I should introduce myself. I'm Naktinna. Thieves' guild boss here. There's one in all big cities in the planes. We stay away from the material, because they tend to have less crime-friendly governments there. Xanthrak there is a half-dragon. So don't piss him off any more than you already have. Now, we're gonna make a little deal. You're gonna acquire an item for us, and we'll give you a guild license -
after the job is done, of course. Are you gonna pay up, or are you gonna bleed out right here?"
SAM. GOGOGOGOGOGO
You draw SAM from his holster/sheath/thingy and fire(?) at the insect. (3) (dodge:1-1(back turned)) It hits the beetle on its (BP:5)
sword arm right set of legs, and (damage:1+1) does nothing except make it mad. It turns around, and - OH GOD WHY DOES IT HAVE A FACE! It snarls at you, revealing some
very sharp teeth, and says, lisping slightly due to the pincers (which also protrude from its mouth), "You dare to attack one of the shistersh? You will die for this insholenshe!" It flies at you, with its pincers outstretched, and (3) (dodge:1) impales you in the (BP:[damn you Riccto making me use a d8!]5) bottom left arm! (damage:4) The arm is hit pretty badly!
Falcon punch the rest of the vampires.
FALCON PUNCH! (3+2, 5+2, 4+2, 2+2) (dodge:2+1, 5+1, 5+1, 3+1) You charge at a group of vampires! You hit one, bash one solidly (+1 damage), and nick two more (-1 damage). (damage:3+2, 2+3, 4+1, 2+1) Three go down, but one takes the punch easily. He (or she, hard to tell with that mask) takes a stab at you with some dagger he had up his sleeve. (1) And misses. Horribly. He stabs another vampire who was sneaking up on you in the chest. That dagger appears to have been made of wood, since the other vamp bursts into flames and quickly crumbles to ash. (1) Your sleeve catches on fire. (damage:1) It doesn't hurt you, (3) and you put it out. Stabby McStake is looking in horror at his friend, and you smack him in the head to knock him out. There are two more vampires advancing on you slowly, as well as one who's waving his hands in fancy gestures while chanting.
GO DOWN. ACTIVATE STONE. WIN GAME, I GUESS.
What do we do after this?
You deactivate your jets, and start to fall. (3) You crash kind of heavily into the mountain, but are unharmed. You landed a little bit down the mountain from the short building with the glowing windows that probably houses the stone, so you start to walk up. (2) And then a pair of large, lizard-like creatures jumps out. They look like large bipedal red frogs, and they appear to be guarding the peak. With those big claws. (6) Hey, you know what these are! They're Slaadi! Humanoid creatures native to Limbo, the plane of chaos! Which is on the exact other side of the multiverse from Mechanus, the plane of pure order. There is no reason they would be here. Charging at you. (5, 4) (dodge:6,3) You easily sidestep one of them, but the other one hits you in the (BP:2) chest with its claws. (damage:6) And cuts you nearly in half. You are missing a lot of metal from your right side. -1 to rolls after this fight until you fix yourself up. You turn around and see the Slaadi glaring at you. One grins, showing very sharp teeth. It says, "
N'khaaav rak!NkkreShe'l Haaakderr!sski'll!lii." The other, slightly taller on replies, "
Vreek!ggDaarkamm!ithk cH'kllee!zz't Hoobr!d! Nkka!"
What?
...
Nirur ... succeeded?
Admirably.
Huh.
"Don't you even have the use of my brain, moron? They weren't even attacking yo- me. The lich probably sent them out to greet us, now we'll have to do things the hard way. The stone's probably well-guarded in the dungeon."
Torir looks for a poorly defended back entrance to the castle.
Not all evil rulers have read those "100 mistakes most BBEGs make", have they? There must be a back entrance! (4) And indeed there is. The music is louder over here, and it fills you with a sense of mild fear. (5) Hey! It's unlocked, too! This is great! You push open the door and walk in. You are standing in a narrow hallway. The door slams shut behind you, and you hear a click as it locks. A voice booms through the speakers, "It seems you have fallen into my trap, hero. The Maze of Terror is the only way through to my lair. Nobody has ever triumphed over the undead guards, and their bodies have been used to strengthen the defenses. Now, learn why you do not cross the Lich-king of the Plane of Death! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!" Wow. Someone's got issues. The hall goes straight ahead into a small round room. (6 vs 2) Nirur takes over the body and prepares to get through this fiendish maze.

Will do anything asked of him unless he has a reason not to (if it conflicts with an existing goal or his basic morality). Lawful Good (as in lawful as the opposite of chaotic).

Profession: Paladin.
Background: His people believe themselves to be the only true guardians of the material plane; the best way to help the mortal inhabitants of said plane is by not touching anything. Obviously this is what The Creator had in mind, and any who meddle in the plane, and therefore blaspheme The Creator, are to be punished severely.
