The professor pulls out the metal syringe and very cauteously approached his hurt companions, "If you want, I can give you a booster shot. We all have vials, don't we? It may be a good time to use them."
LATER
Lucius started looking around for any clues to help them out of their dilemma.
--------
I feel ok.
Without leaving the main area of the room, Lucius finds nothing helpful.
There is a corridor leading away north into darkness, with doors on the left hand side, and windows on the right hand side. Near the limit of your vision you see an alcove on the right as well.
Lazare and JP need a DC12 fort save.
Did I miss the Professor's save (he was sprayed by the first ooze)?
With a loaded gun, the professor asked the half-orc, "We should head north but let's check these doors as we move. I don't want to be caught from behind by some crazy cultist or worse."
--------------
Very well, I will have my hammer ready Trevor starts checking the doors on the left.
Leprosy in pathfinder has an onset of 2d4 weeks, so you have a lot of time (in game terms) before this will have any impact. Plenty of opportunity to cure the disease.
And you have plenty of healing methods available to you know for the damage - something like 15 cure lights and 5 cure moderates.
I don't know a thing about curing diseases, maybe they know back in the chapel.
I don't know a thing about curing diseases, maybe they know back in the chapel.
Lucius looked on from a distance, "I know about diseases, their causes, symptoms, etc. but not how to cure diseases. And I have no desire to learn so let's hope someone in here does know."
He added, "I can heal those burns though; the syringe should do the trick if you want."
-------------
I will use one of my potions, thank you. Trevor chugs
You reach the first of the four doors on the left when you hear some noises ahead if you. The sound of rocks or rubble being moved, along with a growly - panting noise.
If you wish to move up and look, make a stealth roll. You don't need a roll if you freeze where you are (outside the first door)
Lucius kept quiet and instinctively moved away from the door. He shook his head and whispered, "I am not proposing to look inside there. I think we have enough difficulties."
He added, "However, if any of you are curious enough then don't let me hinder you in the fulfillment of your wishes."
Trevor keeps his hammer ready. We probably don't want whatever is there at our backs. He whispered.
My bad - I wasn't clear. The noise is from ahead of you, up the corridor to the north, not behind the doors.
Trevor winces
Creeping forward, JP moves up an peers into the gloom.
He sees two ghouls digging at rubble, apparently oblivious to all else. Why they did not react to the guns is beyond his ken, but he DOES recall this is / was an insane asylum before a significant percentage of them turned into monsters.
(One more day on the beach and then I am heading home. I will update the map then, as well as give a few more complete posts when I have a keyboard )

Sliding back a small amount to clear a lane for the sword and hammer team, he motions to them that there are two and the universal symbol for monsters.
Cocking the hammer as quietly as possible, he waits for the others to act.

Hey Professor, can you look at this rash? Will it turn into something? Can I take something for this? I'm attached to my current limbs and I'm not all that interested in losing them!
Lucius took a cautious, distant look at the rash, "Yeah, uhm, it looks like... you better get a professional to look at that. In the mean time, just wash your hands."
GHOULS
The professor gave the big half-orc a wide berth and also readied his pistol, "Don't get scratched and don't get bitten either. I hear ghoul fever is also nasty to cure..."
------------
Trevor will get his hammer ready and when everyone is ready he charges in.
Does anyone else want to shoot before Trevor closes for melee? Here I am looking at the Professor.
And does anyone else want to charge into melee? And here I am looking at Lazare.
The map is updated. The two ghouls are digging at the wall of rubble in the area circled green. Ignore the red line at the top of the map, we will get to that shortly.
BOOM
The loud pistol echoed in the room as the professor opened fire on the ghoul before the half-orc closed in.

Jean Phillipe's musket shot goes wide, splintering against a wall, but the Professor's strikes true!
The ghoul that was shot spins around just it time to take a crushing blow from Trevor, knocking it down and caving in its chest! (one ghoul down).
Lazare is up!
The remaining ghoul attacks Trevor!

Trevor also needs two DC12 fortitude checks or become paralyzed!
Then the players are up! AC is 12. One ghoul remains, but it is undamaged.

Checking to see if he is threatened fist.
Drawing the pistol, he let's loose another shot.

The professor is frantic, "No, no. I told you to not get hit!"
He reloads while he moves away from the ghoul.

Reloading a pistol (one handed firearm) is a standard action, reloading a rifle (or a two handed firearm) is a full round action.
Trevor knows he has to put this thing down and attacks again.
It's head splatters as the earthbreaker comes down in a massive overhead swing from the burly half orc.
AND that puts the other (last) ghoul down.
out of combat time...
With a loaded gun, the professor neared his half-orc companion, "That was... impressive. Are you OK? Did it bite you?"
The professor then went to inspect the ghouls, gun in front of him, to make sure they were indeed destroyed.
------------
Trevor pants and sits. Huff huff, I gotta catch my breath here.
14/22
Trevor then grabs his CLW injection and jabs himself
Whew, that was rough, didn't get bit.
The Professor notes that the ghouls, as undead, remain dead after the ferocious blows from the half orc, but they are no longer animate.
Therefore, they are safely destroyed. Or so he thinks. While he speaks confidently, he does tug at a mustache a bit, with a slight frown.
A sudden flash of memory enters the Professors thoughts. He has examined dead bodies before. Looking for signs of violence. He shudders. He is not sure why he would have done that but his gut feeling is that it wasn't entirely on the up and up...
No other ghouls can be heard. You do hear someone moaning (softly) in fear in the larger common ward to the north.
(You may note the map is updated - showing a row of small rooms and one larger common ward - you have not yet entered the large common ward north of where you are.)
In the rooms to the south, consider yourself to have found 250 gold worth of stuff, along with a backpack of ammunition and powder - 50 rds each for the muskets and the pistols.
Also an oil of keen edge
