Baern comes up behind Shayla and offers his support.

Acid splash: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 4 = 3 *sigh*

Can't do much with these damnable rocks everywhere...

Puh, glad Shayla saved...

Baern appears behind Shayla and throws an acid splash at the draugr in the water but misses. The other draugr attempts to climb the rock to get to Laestri. double move

So am I! I'd just rid Shayla of the negative levels she gained from another creature in her previous adventure.

Suri goes all-out versus the draugr east of Shayla.

Assuming I'm in control of my actions:

Kali privately curses herself for allowing herself to succumb to the river-b~$*%'s enchantments, then responds with her own torrent of wrath.

Spending 1 Ki to gain another attack. Note that the bleed damage is not cumulative, but of course I don't know which one will hit first.

Hmm - that is odd. Since yesterday, I keep getting an error when I click on this gameplay thread from the campaign page

Working for me now.

Roland will step and shoot again if any foe remains moving.

We can do zhis!"

Ha! Working again! And unfortunately Kali is still under the effect of the music (similar to unnatural lust).

Suri attacks the draugr in the water and bites it twice.

Kali moves closer to the fossegrim and touches the creature.

Roland attacks the draugr in front of Suri and Shayla and kills it with one shot. Three more arrows hit the fossegrim behind the stone.

When Kali touches the fossegrim she suddenly starts to caugh. Water comes up from her lungs and it seems she's drowning. DC18 Fort on your next turn

Shayla shoots an arrow at the fossegrim and hits, but the arrow does not make as much damage as it should. While Kali desperately tries to get the water out of the lungs Laestrie dispatches the undead creature in front of him.

Suri climbs up onto the rock and bites at the fossegrim, but misses. Baern attempts to demoralize the creature in the water and succeeds. He can see that the fossegrim thinks about withdrawing.

Seeing Kali starting to drown, Roland will draw an air crystal from his haversack and move towards her and see if he can get her to use the crystal.

"Zhis might help.

I think this will use both his moves, so no other action unfortunately.

Roland picks an air crystal from his haversack and tries to use it on Kali. The air crystal is useless, because Kali's lungs are already filled with water, but moving her upper body to an upright position makes it easier for ther to cough up the water. +2 to her save

The fossegrim takes a step back and a powerful stream of water bursts from her hands, hitting Suri, but the leopard is able to resist the water burst. Hydraulic Torrent

Thank Zon.

Kali manages to vomit the offending water all over the accursed fossegrim. It's not a particularly good revenge, considering, but it's something.

Seeing the damage her previous arrow did was reduced, Shayla switches to cold iron arrows. She rapidly releases multiple shots at the fossegrim.

Suri's unable to reach the fossegrim without jumping into the water, which she doesn't appear to be willing to do. The leopard goes full defense and lets out a loud snarl. "RAWR!!"

While Kali caughs up the water and pukes all over the fossegrim Shayla shoots four arrows at the creature in the water. One arrow hits and it makes a deep wound in the fey's body.

Baern tries to scrabble over the rock to Kali to heal her up some.

Baern has the Rock Stepper trait so "can skillfully negotiate rocky terrain. They can ignore difficult terrain created by rubble, broken ground, or steep stairs when they take a 5-foot step." I doubt this would help, so will include a climb check as well.

Climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Leastrie scamper up the rock, dripping his blade, and drawing his bow along the way. Once atop the boulder, he fires a shot at the fey creature.

On vacation and can't edit map. Please move Leastrie.

Baern attempts to climb up the rock, but slips down on the wet moss. Laestrie climbs up successfully while dropping his blade and drawing his bow. He fires an arrow at the fossegrim but misses.

Roland fires four arrows at the fossegrim, three of them hit and the fey creature falls unconscious.

Baern takes his time scrabbling up the rocks to get to Kali before channeling his healing power to her.

Cure Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 8 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) + 8 = 20*1.5 = 30 pts healing

The harsh light returns to Kali's eyes, and her muscles flex as she reasserts full control of them and leaps upright.

"Is that thing dead?"

Baern chuckles. "Aye. Roland is fair handy with that bow o' his. Glad ta see ye back with us." He claps the monk on the shoulder and slides down the rock.

Shayla puts her longbow away and picks up her swords, which she sheathes. She then pulls out her healing wand and gives herself a few taps.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

When she's healed her wounds Shayla puts her wand away and takes a good look at the water, wondering if and where it's safe to cross.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

"The water looks entirely safe to me. Shall we just jump in?"

Be careful Shayla, as zhere could be more of zhem.

Roland is glad to see everyone survived. He scans the water for any other movement.

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

A variety of coins and gems worth 120 gp total are wedged into a small crevice at the bottom of the river south of the rapid. Two gems is also wedged in the crevice.

The undead creatures wear bronze Aspis badges.

Apart from that the river is safe to cross.

"Zhis is interesting. I have never heard zhe undead joining Zhe Aspis. More likely zhe Aspis joined zhe undead...zhe hard way . We best not linger here."

You move further and from a considerable distance, the cliff face at the base of the mountain appears corrugated from erosion. Two pairs of enigmatic, smiling stone faces are carved into the face of the mountain. These faces flank a precariously tall, ten-foot-wide stone staircase that leads to a flat plateau 60 feet overhead.

The staircase is particularly steep. It once symbolized ascent to a sacred place: the temple to the mountain god Yamatsumi above. However, the steps are now uneven to trip anyone climbing the staircase. The staircase is so steep that it is essentially vertical.

climbing rules are applied here, DC20 for each move action at half speed, climbing at a rate of 5 ft. per round does not need a roll

"No pain, no gain" being one of her credos, Kali tries doing it the hard way, at least for the first several feet.

Climb #1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Climb #2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Climb #3: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Climb #7: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Climb #8: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Baern happily takes his time up the steep steps. Part way up, he starts humming to himself to distract him from the increasing height.

Roland will wait until near the last, using is bow to cover the climbers incase some crazy birds decide it is a good time to attack.

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

If no surprises, he will climb with the slow pace.

cannot quite take-10 to beat DC20

"Take zhe pace slow and steady. Zhis would be a bad time for zhe falling.

Shayla takes her time climbing up, and tells Suri to do exactly the same.

"Kali, if you make it up there, I wouldn't mind seeing a rope!" she yells up at her fast climbing ally.

Though she's human, so she probably won't bother to help me...

"That's the idea," Kali replies, taking one more conservative step up before stopping a moment to produce a top-of-the-line bloodvine rope and feed it downwards.

Sooner or later you all make it to the top.

Jagged and barbed iron sculptures of various sizes cover the floor of this large stone plateau. A pair of wide stone stairs ascends to a balcony overhead. Shattered pieces of intricately painted pottery and shreds of fine silk are piled along the walls. Four pillars divide the space, holding aloft stone arches covered with pictograms. A wide pair of iron doors bears a ruby-studded engraving of an inferno and a hefty iron lock.

Once upstairs you spot four duergar sentinels guarding a double door behind them. The sentinels also spot you and raise their weapons.

Roland calls forth a holy blessing into his bow and moves 20' south.

Suri doesn't seem entirely sure what to make of the sentinels and stays by Shayla's side.

Delaying Suri's turn till Shayla's up.

Roland watches for any response by the dark dwarves.

Roland blesses his bow and moves to the side. Suri is not sure what to do so the Leopard waits for orders.

The first sentinel loads his heavy crossbow and takes aim.

Shayla casts gravity bow on herself, then moves forward while drawing her longbow.

"Suri, attack them!" she commands her companion, quickly pointing Suri at the stairs up north.

Suri, now knowing what to do, hurries up the stairs and ends up next to the red sentinel.

Baern moves around the pillar towards the stairs, getting his shield out as he goes.

Double move, drawing quickdraw shield as swift during move.
