Dm I dranknit before the attack started BUT that's fine just assume I do the move action first ten step wherever I need to to get the most of them
Rameth, the only five foot step to avoid AoO is to AF38 and you'd hit Audia, but OK.
Audia, please roll Reflex.
Tobbs's bit is vicious and nearly takes a huge chuck out of the thug north of Audia.
Sadly he miscalculates and after dealing damage falls down the well he leapt over.
Bah sorry Audia, never used this before!! I owe you a drink!
sure you leave all your gear and treasure and I don't beat you senseless
Now that's the good old Rameth that I remember.
Albus whispers smiling while attacking the man in front of him.
The crit does confirm so you drop the man in front of you and advance to AD41 and attack the man there.
Waiting on Audia, maybe a bot?
Audia attacks the bandit in front of her
Fear my tickle star
Fails lightning, dead from Albus anyhow.
Albus's spellstrike is augemented by the flashes of lightning from Calin's Thundercloud.
The blow from Audia's morning star is almost dainty, but it suffices to finish off the wounded, burnt bandit.
Now all that remains are the chief of the bandits and the last two thugs.
The leader turns his attention to the cleric and expertly cuts through the gaps in her defense, but his kukri strikes true.
The thug that Albus just attacked reaches out and grabs ahold of Albus and lets electricity jolt through his hands.
The last thug moves to AE38 to attack Rameth and also lets lighting arcs from his hands into Rameth, scorching him.
As he does so he shouts:
For you, lord, kill the infidels that the Sky Pharaoh may rise!
Dwalindor's blow flattens the impertinent cultist trying to cook Albus like lightning would one of Dwalindor's clan's camels in the rare rainstorms in the remote Osirian wilderness.
He falls dead to the floor.
ameth quickly steps into flank and studies his foe
for
Rameth plunges his spear into the throat of his foe
Rameth the guy in front of you is actually another Thug - the icon at AD38 is the boss. Does that change your action or do you want to use your roll as an AoO (minus studied combat, no use of studied combat obviously)?
Tobbs moves up to AD37 and mauls into the boss, rending flesh in sinew.
5 ft step to AE 39 problem solved! Spear in neck!
Calin steps over to AE40. He directs the agressive thundercloud to AD38 and takes a shot at the boss.
After beheading his first opponent Albus keeps pressing his attack. Got something for you too boy!
The thundercloud's lightning strikes missed the thug, but it hardly mattered as a series of attacks from the various adventurers slaughter the remaining thugs.
A stillness descends onto the room as the bodies of your attackers stay blessedly dormant.
Ptemnib looks at all of you with a tired, yet smiling, face.
Well, it would have been nice to find out where they were smuggling the grave goods and bodies so we could move to the next step in their route but I suppose cutting one head off this hydra will have to do.
That does seem to keep happening to us today. Perhaps you can tell us everything that you know about it, and can someone stop this cut from bleeding?
Of course there is the usual looting to be done, and identifying
"They didn't seem to be in the mood to talk."
Tobbs sniffs at the various corpses, decides that they are not very interesting anymore and lays down in the NW corner of the room with a, "hrmmmmph"
Trip clambers out of Rameths bag and rushes over to Tobbs and attempts to play with him.
Anyone know what that jackass was talking about with his Sky Pharoa gibberish?
The boss has a number of different items on him - a set of studded leather armor, a composite shortbow (Appraise DC 15 to determine + Str) with 20 arrows, a kukri (Appraise DC 10 to determine quality), a gold funerary mask (worth 50 gp), and his unusual khopesh - it appears to be made of pink mineral salts somehow hardened (identify) needed. He also has a key and 21 gp in a small pouch.
The goons each have a scroll, a vial of oil and a small vial of some kind of potion. The also each have a dagger, five darts, a shortsword, a spellbook (all 0-level spells are present, I'll figure out which 3 1st level spells are in each later but they each also have mage armor) thieves' tools, a brass funerary mask (worth 25 gp) and 3 turquoises (worth 10 gp each) and 4 gp. You notice that they all also have rather fine cloaks on their back identify needed.
Ptemnib shakes his head.
I will be glad to talk, but let us return to the Grand Mausoleum first. I must rest.
You notice that he's quite dirty and was obviously beaten severely by the goons in the underground.
OK you get there, and send a bird thing to our associate Ibrahim with directions to this place and instructions to take...
We have to go meet Maru and Namaru, then do another errand or two, then we will return to speak with you after you get cleaned and rested. And give this to your bird He gives him some bread
appraise bow
appraise kukri
Tobbs watches Trip bark at him and bounce back and forth in front of him intently. Suddenly he pounces on top of Trip pinning him to the ground.
Tobbs purrs contentedly as Trip squirms out from beneath him.
BARK BARK BARK
Trip shakes off, then pounces again nipping at Tobb's fur, and trying to wrestle him to the ground.
Calin examines the door for the room to the north for traps.
If he doesn't see anything he opens the door and looks again for more traps and proceeds into the room.
The bow is a +3 STR composite shortbow, and the kukri is masterwork.
The leather armor are all leather armor +1 and the cloaks are cloaks of resistance +1; the sword is a rare item called a natron fang.
A natron fang is a +1 khopesh forged to combat the undead (specifically mummies and the incorporeal undead) carved from a single chunk of magically hardened mineral salts. A natron fang overcomes the damage reduction of mummies, mummified creators and other mummy-like creatures at the GM's discretion. Once per day on a successful strike against an incorporeal undead creation, a natron fang also deals 1d6 Charisma damage (will DC 13 half) in addition to the weapon's normal damage. (If you sell it you could get 3640 gp at market price - but remember depressed conditions due to panic and the gold limit now that the auction is over!)

I thought you were with the church of Pharasma, no? If you really need that information we can take the leader's corpse back to the temple with us and your guys can ask it about it.
The cleric looks at Albus in disgust.
You want us to disturb an unclean soul in death?
Better to disturb one of those than to, I dunno, Let some sky god come back and kill us all. Rameth says as he frowns at the busted bottle of whiskey, before pulling out another one.
No. I am suggesting you use a beginner's spell on a piece of meat. The magus answers exasperated.
Rameth checks the scrolls spell craft
alchemy for the potions
alchemy for the oils
Lots of magic stuff, I'll figure it out in the morning
Ptemnib looks at Albus and Rameth in horror.
Look at these men!
He waves a dirty, bruised hand at the corpses.
Although the ka has fled, the ib remains! To disturb any portion of the soul before its journey is complete is abhorrent! You must be an outlander to understand not even these simple truths.
Rameth, your expert knowledge of alchemy allows you to determine that the potions are potions of undetectable alignment, the oils are oil of taggit and the scrolls are scrolls of whispering wind.
Calin, the room contains no traps but you see two chests, one of cedar and on of iron, in the room, along with a desk that has a quill pen, a vial of ink, several small slips of parchment along with a curious figurine of a bird made out of tin, with three actual feathers forming its tail.
