[PFS] GM Skipper's Mummy's Mask Part 1: The Half-Dead City (Inactive)

Game Master SkipperD

Hmm... Yeshre hasen't posted in almost a month. I'll bot her for now and send send them a PM.

Yeshre starts a inspiring oration.

The beetles move in for the kill. One bum-rushes Muna, while the other burrows its way behind Patros.

Attack v Muna: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Rathh draws his wand and casts bless on the group, hoping Asmodeus will deem them worth helping. For repayment later, or course.

Patros slashes at the creature.

Bugs....gross....

attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 131d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7

A fragment of detritus hanging from the ceiling abruptly plunges toward one of the beetles!

telekinetic projectile, courage, blessing, melee penalty vs red: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Muna feels naked as the beetles approach, finally realizing she has forgotten to don her mage armor.

Panicking, she resorts to her innate ability to melt into shadow.

Using Dissolution's Child to go invisible for 1 round. Invisibility doesn't allow me to move through an enemy space still, right? If I can move I will.

Rathh blesses the party, but even that isn't enough to help Patros strike through the beetles thick chitin. Xanax manages to find a week spot to hurl a rock at, however.

@Muna: This sort of thing is poorly described in the rules, but I tend to rule in favor of realism, and since the beetles have zero chance of detecting you, you can move as you please.

Cool thanks. I moved myself out of the passage way.

Kaleless drops hiss crossbow and steps towards the beetle and gets out his large knife.

attack with flank

kukri: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (4) = 8

take this!

Kaleless also fails at piercing the beetles shell. (Even when adding the buffs you forgot)

Bottin' time!

Laureglyn takes a stab at the beetle closest to himself.

Attack, IC, bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 23
Damage, IC: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

His precise strike knocks it out.

Yeshre lets her performance linger, moves and takes a shot at the other beetle.

Attack, IC, bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 20
Damage, IC: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

She hits her mark, but not well.

The remaining beetle shuffles up to Patros and tries to bite him.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Kaleless moves and tries to hit the last beetle with his large knife.

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (4) = 10

on my phone could someone move me please

@Kaleless: The beetle is in a 5 feet wide hallway, and Patros is in the way. You can try to tumble through its square into flanking, and then I'll apply your attack.

sorry I assumed it was near me

acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Slipping past Patros and the beetle, Kaleless takes advantage of the confusion and cuts down the remaining foe.

-----Combat Over-----

thanks for botting me, for some reason, I wasnt getting updates for this thread, so I didn't know I was up... sigh

"Those bugs were so icky!" Shivering, Muna nonetheless heads further down the corridor. "It looks like this is the backside of the door we couldn't open before." She keeps her eyes peeled just in case. If there is nothing else, she heads back out of the secret passage.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

"It's good no one got too hurt" Kaleless follows Muna down the hallway.

Laureglyn stays right behind Kaleless for now.

The rough passageway does indeed lead out through the secret door you couldn't open from the other side. Other than that, there's nothing to find here.

Kaleless moves to the double doors checking for traps. His fingers run over the seam of the doors.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

"Let's hope there's no beetles here!"

"Those weren't so bad... let's hope there's no more animate sarcophagi!"

Aye...at least beetles can be hewn easily...

Breathing heavily, Rathh continues on behind the others.

"Why so many stairs?" he wonders. "Surely there must be another way."

Once Kale opens the door, I'll follow him in.

Kaleless finds no traps and opens the door. This room holds several neatly arrayed chests, boxes, and urns. The dust of centuries covers every surface. The only exit is the stone double doors you entered from.

Muna steps into the room after the others and begins examining the dusty collection.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Muna's keen eyes spot, that while the room's contents are safe, a trapped, secret door sits in the eastern wall.

Kaleless moves to the eastern door and attempts to disable the trap.

"Hope this works!"

disable device: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Kaleless disarms the magical trap, not knowing how close he was to screwing it up (right on the DC :)).

Most of the goods in the chests, such as once-fine clothing and sealed jars of food, no longer have any value after the passage of centuries, but among the spoiled and ruined grave goods are several salvageable items of value, including two vials of silversheen, a masterwork longbow, 10 cold iron arrows, a gold scarab clasp worth 50 gp, an onyx and silver holy symbol of Pharasma worth 100 gp, a silver hand mirror worth 35 gp, and a wax-sealed clay urn of nard worth 75 gp.

Kaleless, you played that trap like a master musician plays his instrument...well done! I'll buy the first round of drinks in your honour later!

"Nicely done... you have truly skilled hands and mind!"

Muna suggests, "Those of you who wield weapons should use this silversheen. It may come in handy in the near future."

Moving up next to Kaleless, she takes a look inside the secret door.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

"Thanks Patros! Now we have some loot to brag about

Kaleless looks around for secret doors.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

The secret door reveals a narrow hallway, which Muna and Kaleless are certain is not trapped.
Disregard the blue stuff on the map.

Kaleless steps into the hallway and looks around.

"Just to be sure" he mutters.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Rathh catches his breath while Kaleless checks for more traps.

"This place has been full of surprises," he muses.

Nothing horrible happens to Kaleless, and the rest of the hallway seems safe as well.

Muna follows Kaleless through the hallway, checking the next door and entering if its safe.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Laureglyn stays with the group, keeping his eyes and ears open for more dangers...

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Patros heads down the hallway with Kaleless, blade at the ready for any trouble.

perc: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Muna sees no danger and opens the door. A sarcophagus covered in gold leaf rests on a raised stone platform in the center of this chamber. The casket's cover is carved the likeness of an adult man with his arms crossed over his chest, and covered in thick coat of dust. Two ornate chests sit beyond the dais in the northeast and southeast corners, and between them stand two large funerary urns. The sole exit is a door to the west.

"Perhaps this is the true resting place? " Laureglyn asks as much as says, with a shrug... "Kaleless, do you think there are mroe traps here? Will the items attack us?"

Xanac opens his third eye to what secrets may lie in plain view.

detect magic and Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

If there is anything, it's nothing he can understand.

Wasn't there treasure in the last room we were in? It didn't seem like we picked it up, if so.

Kaleless checks the sarcophagus.

"I hope there's no undead in here"

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

From somewhere in the room is heard the rattling of dry bones and a soft moaning....

Kaleless finds no undead, but he does spot the metallic snake lying in waiting behind the sarcophagus.

The snake slithers out from it's hiding spot and bites Kaleless.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Fort, Kaleless: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 1 = 20

It claps down on Kaleless' arm, and injects some fluid into him to no great effect.

Snake
Rathh, Xanac, Patros, Muna (3 damage), Laureglyn, Kaleless (6 damage)

Patros rushes in to kill the snake before it can poison someone.

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 261d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6[ooc]edit...crit![/dice]

crit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 122d8 + 8 ⇒ (3, 3) + 8 = 14

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Uncertain just how sturdy this thing might be, the serpent's form ripples as Xanac destabilizes its reality.

magic missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"Dammed metal serpent"

Kaleless moves around the snake and attacks

acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Laureglyn moves in to attack...

to hit: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 2 = 26
dmg if hits: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

to confirm crit: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 = 15
addl dmg if crits: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Patros hits the snake just fine, but once again, its tough construction reduces the impact.

CL, Xanac: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Xanac has no idea what it is, but does feel it unsuccessfully resist his spell.

AoO v Kaleless: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Fort, Kaleless: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 1 = 20

Kaleless fumbles around the snake and gets bitten one the way. Once again it injects fluid, but Kaleless resists it.
You are staggered, though, so I'll let you retract your attack to avoid falling unconscious.

Just like Patros, Laureglyn hits the snake but has trouble with denting the metal plates.
