i moved Belsiard to an uncleared room

Roll 2 religion checks and a local check. No monsters here in the top part.

the bottom part is considered a different room, fyi.

lol yea knowledge...lol

That means you belsiard, if you don't have any of those knowledge skills let me know so I can move on.

Other players, you can still be exploring if you want to, he is not in combat you know.

I have none. Bel is minigm

Sculptures again?

Knowledge, Religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

quick question, why don't you copy and paste that image onto the google draw? that way you don't have to draw anything, and we can just move around on the map proper...

Ilia, having only studied the arcane arts in her leisure had no idea what the statues were.

It is not letting me do that right now, plus I didn't discover internet predrawings until recently.

This debris-laden chamber once held a shrine and wooden altar, but all of that was smashed decades ago by vandals. The ceiling here has remained intact over the years, helping to preserve a hugh bas-relief state of a muscular humanoid man with a pointy beard gesturing toward a huge mountain in the background, his face a picture of mortal concern.

DC 15 religion check revealed that the beared figure is depicted in a manner similar to the way in which the faith of Sarenrae depict their saints, but this is not one of the more frequently honored saints of that faith.

How does that information help you in gameplay? Does it help reveal hints about future combats or hints about hidden items, or help you bypass combats with a peaceful solution? Maybe, maybe not, I don't read ahead. If I was a player I would ask those questions, other than storyline purposes, why is that information useful to gameplay?

Okay so only identifying some things on the statue, what do hereos want to do now?

Edit: Got Url to work though I'm not deleting the old one till later as that will take time.

IMO, storyline is extremely important to this game, otherwise it's just dice and math.

Ilia continues through the chamber.

Bel follows stopping to look at te saint for a bit

Bel follows stopping to look at te saint for a bit

nothing special more about it.

At Illia. You see the same exact statue, yes two statues on both sides. On this one has palms out, in a sign of peace.

You see a door to the south. On it is a sign that says. "A ghost of unholy mien was purged from this place by Theodephus Estrovan, servant of Aroden, 4691 AR.

We seem to have split, I'll try to join back.

Roscoe moves forward but his attention was redirected to a smaller room with multiple openings. Moving back a bit, he looks into one of the openings.

you see an animal. knowledge nature to id. this thing must be destroyed. Anyone wishing to jump it in a surprise round, I'll just assume you caught up to Roscoe, go and and post actions or save this thing for later

Roscoe calls out to the others aloud "Guys, there's a large animal here that I think you should see!" not caring if it disturbs the animal or not. He does have his spear drawn though.

Ilia begins another song of courage. sorry, I'm at school, no link this time; also, her bow and arrow are still out

What does the animal look like? Does it look mean?

It is a vulture and nature check shows what it is. It is mean and you need to get the aritifact it is protecting, which will help the NPCs, though there are treasures for you as well. Who wishes to attack it, or leave it for later?

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 for 1d3 ⇒ 3. Bel sends a small blob of acid at the bird

definitely a hit, other 2 want to get in on the surprise round?

I can still act in the surprise round? If yes, here's my standard action.

Roscoe steps up and stabs at the bird before it can attempt any retaliation against them after Belsiard provoked for combat.

Boar Spear Attk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 (no crit)
Boar Spear Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Ilia looses her arrow at an opportune pause in the song.

Forgot to roll skill: Perform (Sing): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

don't know what happened to the other player, hasn't been on since the 16th. I'm not botting him because that feels like the DM playing a PC and I'm trying to avoid that here.

afterter hurting the bird badly, it is ready to retaliate.

Round 1
init: 3 + 1d20 ⇒ 3 + (5) = 8 Roscoe
init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 Ilia
init: 1 + 1d20 ⇒ 1 + (2) = 3 belsiard
init: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (4) = 6 vulture

Roscoe lowers his spear, dropping the head so that he may hold it in one hand as he gestures with a whirling motion to Summon Monster II (eagles). Positioning them around the vulture that two of them ia flanking it.

# of Eagles: 1d3 ⇒ 3

I cant modify the map thru mobile, so I'll leave it to you GM to decide where it makes sense.

The eagles immediately attack with a flurry of wings, beaks, and talons.

Talon Atk A1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Talon Atk A2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Bite Atk A: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Talon Dmg A1: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Talon Atk B1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Talon Atk B2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Bite Atk B: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Talon Dmg B1: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Talon Dmg B2: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Bite Dmg B: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Talon Atk C1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Bite Atk C: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Talon Dmg C1: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Talon Dmg C2: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Talon Atk C1 Crit?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Talon C1 Crit Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 3

yep it is dead as birds swarm it. one thing I just realized, i did burning hands wrong, I counted it as 1d4 extra every 2 levels beyond first, I guess it works differnt from most spells that I remember.

Heroes find an item called tempest. It can change into any simple or martial one handed melee weapon and it is a +1 weapon. and some money.

what do heroes want to do now?

Bel moves and looks through another unchecked door

*follows*

"I'm not one to wield weapons but do anyone of you want Tempest?" Roscoe asks his companions as he follows Belsiard.

I am pretty weak...I guess I could make it a spear but seems a waste for me to use it

here is what belsiar sees

This small antechamber was a place for reflection before monks gathered in the chapter house in the room to the right of this one. Carvings of religious significance to the cult of Sarenrae line the walls, but none seem to involve Vardishal or help in any way to lessen the mystery of the abandoned monastery.

Nothing in this room.

Bel moves to the next room

Roscoe dismisses the eagles after bowing to them in respect for their help. Then he picks up Tempest and stashes it before following Belsiard.

*follows*

It is a shrine to Vardishal and it leads to 3rd floor. Other than that, gold in plain sight which I'll add in a minute.

Where next heroes?

I guess the next floor.

also did you add the gold?

"Ilia, where's the entrance to the second floor again? This staircase looks like to goes to the third..."

At Roscoe, actually this is the 2nd floor, the staircase on the left side of the screen leads to the basement, the DM incorrectly named the floors. At Belsiard yes I did, but I thought you were all going to finish floor 1 first, there are still a few areas left.

Oh there are? Then we go there

go, where, upstairs? Or to the other unexplored areas on floor 1?

"The stair to the basement? It's back that way," Ilia says pointing over her shoulder with her thumb, "But let's get the rest of this floor first."

She walks into the room to their left and analyzes the door straight ahead on map.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Unexplored areas

Doesn't say it's cleared...

You see 3 batlike creatures, arcana to id dc 11 stirge anyone who just looks it up, just don't tell everyone.

they have to be cleared out of this church, surprise rounds when ready.

Ilia shouts, "Stirges! Don't let them touch you! They'll latch on, drink your blood, and possibly infect you!" before she erupts into song and looses an arrow at the one on the right.

Perform (Sing): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

K. Arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Wasn't it a standard action to start a song? Or have I been playing my other bard wrong over the past month...?

Roscoe runs towards Ilia after her shouting "What did you say? Something about drinking blood... vampires?"

Double move to just behind Ilia.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 for 1d3 ⇒ 1 a blob of acid flies

init: 4 + 1d20 ⇒ 4 + (9) = 13 stirge 1
init: 4 + 1d20 ⇒ 4 + (3) = 7 stirge 2
init: 4 + 1d20 ⇒ 4 + (10) = 14 stirge 3

init: 1 + 1d20 ⇒ 1 + (10) = 11 belsiard
init: 4 + 1d20 ⇒ 4 + (9) = 13 roscue
init: 3 + 1d20 ⇒ 3 + (9) = 12 illia

2 stirges try to attach to illia attack: 7 + 1d20 ⇒ 7 + (5) = 12
attack: 7 + 1d20 ⇒ 7 + (15) = 22
damage: 1d2 ⇒ 1we are going to make this combat simple, instead of the dm dealing with complex stuff, as I will deal with complex stuff later in the game. Illia you take 1d2 HP damage instead of 1 con damage.

You're totally right Roscoe, and this is a surprise round anyhow, I could only do the one thing... DG: Retcon: Ilia starts singing, no attack.

Now, Ilia, while singing, drops her bow, draws her revolver and shoots the thing attached to her.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23 Point-Blank Shot, Precise Shot, BAB +2, DEX +2
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Belsiard and roscue are up.

@Ilia, you did full damage and killed it, roleplaying wise, I don't see how you do one damage, it was on you, even if you shot just the leg the bullet is too close and probably would have traveled through the whole body, from up the leg to the stomach. If you would have rolled a 2 or higher, I would have called hit, otherwise it would be saying you could miss with a gun when the gun is less than 1/2 inch away from your target. I could understand 1 damage it it was 5 feet away, but it was attached to you, you would have likely just shot it through the stomach at that distance.
