Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8

"Gods! What is that disgusting thing?!" He moves forward to engage the monstrosity by striking around the corner; however, his poor positioning blocks the attack!

I forgot that this thing has a stench aura, but its only a DC 12 and nauseated for one round.. no big deal, but this thing stinks so badly it affects yall!

Theon moves forward and lashes out, but is overwhelmed with disgust and unable to connect.

The beast gives an inhuman roar as it steps forward towards the fighters, lashing out with its arms covered in putrescence.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9

Theon takes a step away from the beast and attempts another attack, but the foul odor wafting off it causes him to nearly vomit and once again his attack misses terribly...

Oy.

Vlazis takes out his curative wand, hoping no one will be in dire need of it.

Take care, Loryn. The time to strike is... now!

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Lorÿndahl grimaces in pain, "Damn, that hurt!" Stepping back she takes another swipe at the creature with her scorpion whip.

An illusory double of Lorÿndahl appears next to her. "Which one of us are you going to attack now, Beastie!"

Double acts as Mirror Image for 2 rounds or until destroyed.

Do not forget to include the Fatigued condition and its impact on your attacks!

Theon steps back, but the overwhelming odor throws off his aim. Vlazis preps for any wounded to fall back, while boosting Loryndahl with unholy strength and dexterity from his patron. Accepting the blessing, Loryndahl steps back and flicks out her whip at the creature, slashing its hide once more. Suddenly, two of her appear, trying to confuse the creature.

Not enough luck I guess

Despite her extra luck, Skai is unable to connect with the monster before her!

Mask finishes moving into position behind the creature, and lashes out with his rapier! The pointy rapier slides into the dead flesh, but the creature shows no sign of harm!
Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 23
Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 2

With an ungodly howl, the beast continues to advance on Loryndahl, shuffling forward a step and lashing out with both arms once again. It does not respond to Loryndahl's words, but his fist smashes in hard to show he knows the difference between illusion and reality!

Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

Ah, forgot to add those penalties in last two rounds... not that it mattered.

With Vlazis' boost, Theon is able to finally overcome his exhaustion and push through the foul stench. He clenches his teeth and pushes himself further than he had ever done before as he slashes his glaive at the undead thing!

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 + 2 - 1 = 18
Damage: 1d10 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 3 = 13

I apologize for my spotty posting this week and weekend. I have been spending much needed time with my son and my wife, facilitated by several unexpected days off work. Kids.. they are only young once, and you have to make the best of it when you can!

Loryndahl once again easily fights off the diseases pouring off of the fetid and rotting creature as she steps backwards to keep some space between her and the deadly creature. She flicks her whip out once more for another hit across the creatures torso, then tries to heal herself.

Vlazis continues to inspire individuals in the fight, bolstering where he best sees fit.

Skai keeps firing arrows at the beast. This one sticks in the target but still doesn't do as much damage as it seems it should..

Theon steps in, and with the lucky help from Vlazis, his glaive sweeps in from the darkness and thunks into the monsters neck. Slowly it weaves back and forth before toppling over and remaining still.

Out of Combat
Active: Fatigued

Once Loryn is healed up

Vlazis gestures at the toppled monstrosity, This is a welcome sign. The Failed would not have such a guardian for their shrine - we must be close to Eylysia's cache!

Onward!

"Good job! I am not sure why, but it didn't look like I was doing much good there."

Mask sheathes his blades and begins to look around the chamber.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

The team presses on through the dim corridors to the end of the tunnel. Several desks are arranged along the northern and eastern edges of this small stone alcove. Whereas the stonework leading to this chamber is rough, the walls in the alcove are polished. A single gem rests among the neatly filed papers on the desk, emitting a soft luminescence that brightens the small room.

Mask takes a careful look through the room. As he shuffles through the papers, he sees that they are written in an incomprehensible way that could only be a cipher of intricate design. There is no telling what this multitude of pages may contain, but the importance of this trove of documents that have been so well hidden for so many years could hardly escape notice.

Vlazis smiles eagerly at the trove, and then sets to work. We should take care to keep these organized in their existing filing, no telling what information could be lost if we muddle them up.

Skai picks up the gem. "Pretty and glowing. We should hold on to this. But I will bet the Grand Lodge librarians will love this other stuff."

Any more input here?

Skai takes the glowing gem, intending to pocket it once its light is no longer needed by Vlazis as he strives to maintain the order of the documents as he packs them away for transport.

"A trove of encrypted documents are sure to be valuable to the society," Mask says.

"I can make neither heads nor tails of it, but we should certainly report back at this point," he suggests.

Theon stares in awe at the trove of documents located by the group. "That sly dog, Dreng. I imagine he knew the value of this find and wanted to pass off the glory of it to others instead of claiming it himself. Say what you will about him, I like him."

Theon will work with the others to gather and sort the documents as best they can, with a large grin the entire time!

The team works together to gather the documents and prepare for the trip to the Grand Lodge. Trooping back through the hallowed halls of the Shrine to the Failed, you eventually return to daylight just as the crowd, which has grown exponentially since your entrance to the tomb, lets out a collective gasp and groan of dismay. Throughout the crowd, several female voices cry out in tears or in swoon.. it seems you have returned to the present just in time for Sir Reinhart's misguided attempt to vault across the chasm surrounding the Star Stone Cathedral on horseback. It seems that the aspirant has been judged as simply a man, as he and his loyal steed plunge into the unfathomable darkness below.

You arrive at the Lodge in short order, where Drandle Dreng has you ushered quickly into his office. "It seems that your walk in the rain last night has turned into a bit of an adventure!!" the Venture Captain greets you. "I swear, I knew nothing of the hidden room, but tell me.. what have you found? Heryn sent me a missive telling me that you found a secret room and cleared her basement of some foul creatures, and then rushed out of there like there were demons on your tails!"

Effectively, you have finished the mission, and I am stalling for time to make up the Chronicle sheets and report everything. :-)

Vlazis gives Drandle a knowing smile, Well then, that was quite fortuitous. Though it was clearly unknown to you, one of the founding members of the society hadn't been as forthcoming with her chronicles as would have been wished. It will require careful deciphering, but we believe we have found them, the Lost Chronicles of Eylysia.

Thanks so much! Another great run!

"And this!" Skai exclaims, producing a glowing gem.

Then with a pouty, sullen voice "I suppose the Lodge will want to catalog and store it too..."

I agree that this was another great run by GM Devildoc!

Despite the overwhelming exhaustion that threatens to chase Theon to bed, he struts triumphantly back to Dreng. "Of course, sir, of course." He gives Dreng a knowing wink. "This was an incredibly exciting venture. I would like to thank you, for selecting myself and these other fine Pathfinders for this job."

I apologize for how long this took, I had some major issues with my scanner!!!

VC Dreng nods as Vlazis fills him in on the teams activities, then stares in wonder at the trove of papers that are then offloaded onto his desk. As Skai reluctantly produces the gem, dreng looks about an in a most distracted manner, says "Oh.. yes. Yes, Though after it has been examined, I am sure that you could get it back.." he quickly takes the gem, sliding it into a drawer of his desk before turning to where Theon has stepped forward. "No, Thank you!!! I will see that the Archives begin on this immediately! Thank YOU!! You have all done a wonderful job for the Society, and I am very proud of you!!" he exclaims, beaming at each of you. However, it is not hard to see that his eyes keep straying to the papers before him. He quickly dismisses you before diving into the research.

Several days later, a runner approaches each of you with a sealed missive from Venture Captain Dreng.

Theon reads over the missive and grins with a glint of excitement clear in his eyes. 'Onward to the next mission, Theon.' That was what his uncle always told him before leaving home. Although Taldor does not seem so much home to the young Lore Warden; he was becoming accustomed to the hustle and bustle of Absalom...
