Kellan decides to detect magic in the room just to be sure.

Perception with detect magic: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Did you find anything that is magical? If you can't identify it I can try using one of my extracts"

Ilya asks Swayaah to heal her wounds, but to use Ilya's own wand while doing it.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"I'll stand near the door of the room with the ogres, just in case one decides to move toward us."

Ilya moves near the door to he next room and waits for everyone else to be ready to proceed.

The party gathers at the door, ready to jump the ogrekin...

Vayu casts Bless...

Kellan uses a point from her arcane pool to add keen and flaming to Talon. Then she moves into the room.

Ketill moves to the other side so he gets a clear view of the sleeping ogrekin

"How did he sleep through me throwing bombs at the other side of that door?"

he then fires an dye arrow at the sleeping ogrekin, infused with his explosive bomb

Vayu blesses the party. Kellan moves in while Ketill shoots an arrow past the group at the sleeping ogrekin, killing him outright in the blast.

The other ogre turns around in surprise

Kellan casts shocking grasp defensively Concentration: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 and then swings Talon twice at the remaining ogrekin.

Zen'yr watches as her allies rush in after I d enemy is dispatched with a well placed shot. She moves up, tries to connect with the creatures mind and carts a spell.

Lullaby little ugly baby. Relax.

Carsr Daze, DC 16 will save with gaze or 14 without. Up to 5 HD.

The surprise round only allows a move or standard. I'll assume that swayaah moves in.

Vayu blasts the ogre from afar, tearing a hole in its side, as Swayaah moves closer. Zen'yr then tries to daze the ogrekin. Kellan swipes at the bulky humanoid, but misses.

Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

GM, I moved and fired in surprise round, so I am fine with having only a move action now, given that move was surprise and standard in round 1. I won't use that action, the melee types should have no problem.

That was a good shot! I think they have it covered

Sounds good

Ilya moves closer to the fray as the ogrekin grabs a spear and tries to stab Sir Ilvan, maneuvring for a better position

Spear, Ilvan: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 191d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

"How DARE you try to hurt that cuddly owlbear!?!" Kellan screams indignantly.

She will then try to deliver her shocking grasp spell again.

Talon: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 +2 if he's wearing metal
damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 plus flaming: 1d6 ⇒ 4 plus shocking grasp: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 5, 3) = 14

BOOOOOOOO

Ilvan roars as the spear impales him. He side steps and begins to bite and claw at the ogre.

Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 4 + 1 = 12

Ilya takes a 5-foot step south while entering a pose fitting the dragon style and sends a flurry of blows at the ogrekin.

FoB, Punch!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20 Damage (x2 Str; Dragon Style): 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
FoB, Kick!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 Damage (x1.5 Str; Dragon Style): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
FoB, Knee!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 Damage (x1.5 Str; Dragon Style): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

The ogrekin's assault on Sir Ilvan is enough to send Kellan into something of a rage, and with a mighty jolt of electricity, she stabs down the big humanoid.

Combat over

With the last guard down, the way below is cleared.

I'll need day jobs from everyone, so I can report another level!

"No one hurts my owlbear friend. Everyone alright?"

Ilvan curls up next to Kellan in appreciation of her concern. Swayaah rolls her eyes.

"Ilvan, she doesn't have any food." She snorts. "But I'm happy you're okay, as well."

After an uneventful search of the rest of the floor, Swayaah nods to the party. "I guess that's it here. Let's head back up, take a long bath and prepare for the next floor down. Dinner's on me."

"I won't say no to free dinner," Ilya replies smilingly.

"I wonder what the next floor holds. Guess we'll find out tomorrow!"

Profession (Martial Arts Instructor): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

"Yes, I'm famished!"

I could go for a bite to eat. It's been awhile since I have had something good to eat.

I'll set up the next level. Posting will probably be slow over christmas.

Across this small chamber from the ascending staircase, another staircase winds down into darkness. Off to one side is a calm pool of murky water with a pedestal in its center. Atop the pedestal, a golden serpent idol grasps an emerald in its fangs.

The idol seems... mesmerizing...

UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

"I may actually get good at this some day," Ilya says as she uses her wand of mage armor to give herself some magical protection.

Ilya puts the wand away and mutters a word. The newly purchased heavy leather gloves Ilya wears ripple and flow, changing into a transparent green layer of slime that covers her hands.

"It's to add a corrosion effect to my attacks," she explains with a smile. "It'll add extra acid damage to each of my attacks." (As long as I attack with my hands, of course.)

Though the idol seems mesmerizing and Ilya wants to investigate it, she waits for her allies to finish whatever preparations they may want to make for today's adventure.

"Good boy, Ilvan!" Swayaah grins. "Now he'll listen to you guys a lot better." Ilvan knows the serve command, so she can assign someone as a temporary master.

"Oh great, more serpent statues." Swayaah rolls her eyes, then checks for anomalies.

Knowledge(Religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Any religious significance?

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Disable Device: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Add +3 if there are any traps nearby

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

While Ilya bolsters her protection, Swayaah investigates the idol. With the snake imagery seen the layer above, this looks to be an idol for some serpent god, though it is not immediately clear which one before...

As Swayaah stares into the emerald eyes of the snake, she feels oddly drawn toward it.

Can I have a will save?

Swayaah, Ilvan and Ilya, I have brewed these extracts for you. They will toughen your skin if you want.
Barkskin for +3 enhancement bonus to Natural Armor for 1 hour

Ketill drinks his extracts of false life, comprehend languages and heightened awareness.

False Life, max 10: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Now, who is that snake?

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 = 26
Will Save if required: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

"Thanks, Ketill. Hmm, tastes like almonds." She licks her lips.

"Not sure which serpent god this is, but lemme take a closer look..." Ilvan tries to nudge her away, but Swayaah's certain something interesting about those eyes...

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 +2 if evil

I'm going to give everybody the time to chime in before I reveal the outcomes of the rolls :-)

I'm going to give everybody the time to chime in before I reveal the outcomes of the rolls :-)

So absolutely nothing bad happened, right?

"After we just dealt with all those snake-people... a snake head with jewels in the eyes seems dangerous..."

Kellan readies for something bad to happen, but has no way to help Swayaah.

Swayaah will not be permanently damaged

Vayu is hanging out at the rear...

will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Ilya drinks Ketill's extract. "Thanks, Ketill!"

28 AC!! (+1 when adjacent to a single foe!)

Vayu resists the lure of the emerald-eyed snake, but Ketill and Swayaah are strangely drawn in, moving forward to grab a hold of the idol. With a puff of smoke, the both of them disappear. Sir Ilvan, staying ever close to Swayaah, disappears as well.

Anybody who hasn't rolled a save should roll one now

"Oh dear. It looks as if that was some sort of teleportation effect... I suppose we'll have to follow our weak-minded friends, eh? Come on, Ilvan, let's go get your mommy."

Kellan pulls Ilvan over toward the snake and touches it herself.

Swayaah and Ilvan materialize in a corridor.

"Was that what you were trying to warn me, boy? Sorry about that."

Swayaah carefully checks the hallway she's in, making sure there are no obvious traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Disable Device: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Add +3 if there are any traps nearby
Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

"I don't like this, but I agree we should go after them."

Ilya walks up to the statue and touches it.

will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Zen'yr, usually has a steel mind when it comes to things trying to hold power over her, this time however she is not so strong. She seems to walk calmly towards the snake idol.

Be it out of free will, or compelled by the mesmerizing snake, the spire delvers step forward and find themselves transported to a long corridor, joining Ketill and Swayaah.

After a moment of disorientation, a hissing sound swells up from the northern wall of the corridor, rapidly growing louder.

"I'm happy you guys didn't leave me to rot out here, but now we gotta find our way out."

Swayaah hears the hissing and grins. "Also, we should deal with whatever that is. Humans first, Ilya."

She motions the human with impenetrable defenses forward.

"My pleasure," Ilya says as she moves to the front of the party and around the corner.

Ketill slowly raises his head, which he held low as if nauseated "What is this now?"

He readies his bow and follows Ilya

Any luck with that knowledge (religion) 26 to identify the idol?

The idol looked to be an object devoted to Ydersius - which is all Ketill saw before he got teleported out.

As the party moves down in the corridor, the northern ends shifts as the hissing grows even louder. A spectral snake appear at the northern end, slowly slithering down the hall.

Around the corner the hallway continues, twisting and turning.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

"Careful! that is a powerful force effect that will crush us! Best move forward quickly!"

Ilya gives her considerably slower allies a worried look. "I'll check the path ahead of us. Move as fast after me as you can."

That said, Ilya moves slightly ahead of the others at twice their speed, scanning the corridor for anything that could slow her allies down.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

GM, how high is the ceiling? Is the force snake "just" 5 feet high?

"A force snake, you say? Very interesting... I have never seen its like before."

Kellan gets ready to fight it if necessary, as she's able to cause Talon to deal force damage with a few arcane points.

The force snake cover the entire corridor

While making their getaway from the force snake, Ilya scouts ahead. The corridor twists and turn, until she encounters a hissing sound that becomes louder and louder, until she find the way ahead as blocked by a force snake as the way behind her.

Worse still, the two snakes keep moving in...
