Move and full defense

Mido moves forward but stays wary.

Thanks :)

Dio up...

Dioneo double moves into the room.

Sorry, I had trouble with internet at home.

Arrows fly again!

Valjoens charges forward and attacks the red skeleton.

Charge: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
CritConfirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Stelikara moves forward five feet and drops her whip. Then she pulls out her sling and lets fly at the southernmost skeleton. (Blue?)

Sling Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 2 = 20
Sling Bludgeoning Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Mido dodges a few arrows and realizes that his tactic was succesful in diverting the attention of the mindless undead from his companions and thus the agile Gnome remains in his defensive stance.

One more round of total defense for Mido

Val is a little annoyed when the hard bones of the skeleton turn his blade. (DR stops the blow)

Stelikara notes the effectiveness of the hard rock from her sling!

Mido is indeed making a very popular target!

Mido (Total Defence)

GM, which enemies on the map are still standing? Green and cyan?

Only two have been taken down, so the (now) updated map is what is still up :) Theres red n the far corner with Val, and three in a cluster (Blue is wounded)

Okaydokay!

Clair double moves forward, and finally gets all the skeletons that still stand within channel range.

Thanks :)

/Dio up

Dioneo goes forward and unleashes flames from his hands.

Burning hands, Ref DC 17: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

Green 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Cyan 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Blue 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Flames jet out and burn the three archers. Two of them crumble, consumed by flames.

Mido - as there is now only one standing, did you wish to maintain that defensive position or move into combat? Dioeo has movedpast you.

Mido will double move into a flanking position Acrobatics to avoid AoO1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

(Red) Skeleton attacks Val with its claws!

Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

"Let me help you with that..."

Crowe charges forward to take a swipe at the skeleton Valjoen is having trouble with.

+1 Earthbreaker: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25, for 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (2, 5) + 13 = 20 Magical, Bludgeoning damage.

Once again the Earthbreaker turns into a bonebreaker and smashes the skeleton!
(Red destroyed)

Mido will go on full defense as he can't reasonably harm the skeleton

Valjoen moves and takes a flanking position opposite Mido.

MainAtk: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
OffAtk: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

OffDamage: 1d6 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + (5) = 7 Damage + Sneak Damage

Val wanders into flank with Mido and slices the charred skeleton - delivering enough damage to finally push it over the edge.

/Endcombat.

Aside from the interesting and historical nature of the objects in the room, there is little more of interest.

The corridor ahead leads to a door and and another corridor..

Crowe moves to investigate the door.

Perception 'Take 20' = 27.

If he does not find a trap, he will open it.

No trap is located, Crowe opens the chamber door.

Carved nature scenes cover this chamber’s walls, depicting humanoid figures hunting a wide variety of prey—crocodiles, elephants, hippos, leopards, lions, and even stranger beasts. An open sarcophagus lies at the far end of the room.

You can't see into it etc, you can just see it has no lid

Valjoen moves up next to Crowe and peers into the room. "Hmm... that doesn't look good."

"Agreed."

Earthbreaker at the ready, Crowe cautiously moves into the room.

Valjoen moves into the room, as well, holding tight to the left wall.

"Lots and lots of dry bones," Stelikara says, "I wonder if there's anything interesting in here." Once she has retrieved her whip, she will move up to the intersection before the door, watching down the hallway for anyone -- or anything -- advancing from that direction.

"I share this interrogation, my lady." states Dioneo. He'll walk at the end of the group as usual.

Mido happy to have survived the confrontation with the skeletons unscathed follows his companions into the next chamber.

The inevitable takes place - something stirs within the sarcophagus and an unearthly moan emanates...

It hasn't arisen yet, but something will be shortly coming from the lidless sarcophagus

With a roar, Crowe hustles forward, and takes a swing at whatever is in the sarcophagus, before it has a chance to stand up.

+1 Earthbreaker, RAGE!: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 4 = 21, for 2d6 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1) + 13 + 3 = 19 Magical, Bludgeoning damage.

AoO (for when whatever it is tries to stand up): 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 + 4 = 23, for 2d6 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 13 + 3 = 23 Magical, Bludgeoning damage.

Two creatures rest in the sarcophagus - a skeletal humanoid, and a mummified leopard...

Which one?

Hmmm... Leopard will probably mean more attacks, so lets go with leopard.

Valjoen runs up with Crowe attempting to flank the moaning creature in the sarcophagus but cannot find the proper position.

Readied attack of anything that attempts gets up.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
AOO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

DamageAtk: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
DamageAOO: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Seeing the two big figthers rushing to battle, Dioneo holds his actions for now.

Delay

Clair follows the others with a sour face, a bit chagrined 'cause she didn't have a chance to convert the skeletons to her side.

Pallid Princess, I mean to serve you, but they continuously destroy your lovely undead before I can use them.

While distracted with her thoughts, some of Clair's allies have moved up to the sarcophagus and attacked what's within. Clair lets out a quiet sigh and double moves into the room with the sarcophagus.

I guess these undead aren't worthy of you, Princess, if they die so easily.

Delay

Crowe destroys the mummified leopard, the other figure rises and Val slashes!
Val slashes as it rises, but the first blow is easily turned by the hardened bone, and the second only leaves some light scoring.

It attacks Crowe!
Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Did my AoO hit?

Derp - I missed that when I went through the update this morning. The fight is over before it began effectively.

Crowe bashes in the other skeleton - clearly a crushing weapon is the must have item on this adventure!

/End combat.

There is little of value here...

No worries!

Crowe shakes bone fragments from the end of his earthbreaker, and sighs when the search of the room does not turn up anything of interest.

"Agreed. So far, this has been high risk, for very little reward... Hopefully the main burial chamber (wherever it is) holds more of interest!"

He then moves on down the corridor to the next door, and, after searching it for traps, opens it (assuming that it is not trapped, of course!).

On the other hand, Scholars set on deciphering the ancient histories in the hieroglyphs will be over the moon!

Crowe opens the door...

Each corner of this room holds a stone obelisk carved with hieroglyphs. The obelisks surround a golden circle engraved in the center of the floor.

Crowe cautiously enters the room, and begins to search, at this point fully expecting the obelisks to animate and attack him.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21.

Is he looking or touching...?

That depends on what he finds. If he finds something interesting, sure, he will probably touch it.

A cool breeze emanates from the southeast obelisk.
The southwest obelisk seems to be normal stone.
Heat radiatesfrom the northwest obelisk.
The northeast obeliskis covered in a layer of moisture.

For those in the room:

Knowledge(arcana): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8.

Crowe pinches the bridge of his nose, and sighs.

"Well, at least there is nothing actively trying to kill us in this room. Still, the lack of interesting treasure is worrying..."

Heading back out into the corridor, he continues on to the next door.
