The Darkness Below Maure Castle....
Game Master Lord Thasmudyan

uses Charming smile it must make a Will save DC 21. with a +5 bonus do to the situation, and if he fails is Charmed as per Charm person for as many rounds as i will it up to 12 rounds

she nods to pendin and than looks to Chirinde I'll Charm him with my smile, and you Chirinde can than plead with his soul to repeat of his ways and aid our mission In the Name of Shelyn the Uncorruptable she smiles warmly at the gnoll trying to look as docile and appealing as possible

before you go this route understand that charming smile by default will not work as all it is, is a swift action Charm Person which requires speaking the same language as the target, as I said before

Malcom raises a hand to the wall and begins touching the arcane symbols.

"I need somebody here who speaks the language of magic! he shouts down the hallway.

Just a moment please Malcom, and if you don't mind, please don't touch anything.

Perhaps Lady Z realizes it won't work and can discuss with Chirinide about who gets the potion :) I am starting to think our DM is gently telling us the gnoll isn't worth all this.

Aelaeron grows bored of the interrogation and wanders off after he uses two more Pearls of Power to restore the spells he cast during the short battle.

I hope whatever information that mongrel has is worth the effort.

He then casts detect magic and warily approaches the chalice and the pool. He stays as far from the chalice as possible while still keeping it inside the range of his spell.(60' cone).

Luca rides on his shoulder, still directing the dancing lights at the ceiling.

Aelaeron

Anyone playing with the Gnoll roll me a perception check

Malcom and Drake roll a separate perception check as well

Perhaps Lady Z realizes it won't work and can discuss with Chirinide about who gets the potion :) I am starting to think our DM is gently telling us the gnoll isn't worth all this.

would love to do my charming smile, than diplomacy than geas quest on the gnoll

if only I could get the potion sorry on phone right now

"Aelaeron! He's passed out or been knocked out! Lady Zaldane, maybe you should go to check on him, or Chirinide. I would be useless in figuring out what is wrong with him. Where is Malcolm and Drake? Didn't Malcolm shout about reading magic? Let's leave this gnoll here for the time being, he won't be breaking out of his bonds anytime soon."

"Now that I think about, we should all three stay together and try to find out what is wrong with Aelaeron, at least drag him back further away from that red glow. Then we can look for Malcolm and Drake.

aelaeron

Agreed Pendin she flips her hood up and beging to turn down the hall way May Shelyn watch over this soul, while we aid our allies in there time of need she begins down the hallway her glaive leading
the way before her

Pendin walks down the hallway one step to the right of Lady Zaldane. Once he reaches a point where he can grab Aelaeron behind the shoulders, he will, dragging him back 20 ft up the hallway.

May the Eternal Rose grant me thy heavenly glow so i may see
she utters as she rushes down the hall, praying.

Light

Get Luca too, please. :)

Get Luca too, please. :)

Luca's next :)

"Lady Zaldane, may I call you Lady or just Zaldane, would you mind grabbing his pet?"

i wouldn't forget the dragon at all
Zaldane is fine, Pendin and i will gladly save such a cute little creature as Luca

On phone so I need someone to roll for me, perception +12, stealth + 29.
Note darkvision is still in effect for 2 more hours.

Chirinide makes sure the gnoll is on our side of the door and then drifts into the shadows, walking along the wall to the corner where the hallway enters the room with the chalice so she can peek around the corner.

perception +12, Rolling for Chirindie

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Stealth

1d20 + 29 ⇒ (13) + 29 = 42

how did you get such a good stealth roll??

Pendin and Zaldane

Drake

Chirinide

Malcom

I need init from everyone except Drake and including Aelearon and Luca even though you are not going to be able to act for the first 3 rounds of combat

Here is a map btw of where everyone is map

Initiative: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Pendin intelligence 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

Initiative 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Malcom hears the sound of feet shuffling toward his location.

"I didn't think everybody would come all at once?" he thinks to himself as he ignores Aelaeron's request not to touch anything.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Drake, Malcom and Chirinide go ahead and declare your round one actions if you please.

Pendin and Zaldane

enemies!! Down my way!! I am going to make a double movement backwards away from them and make a stealth roll to try to hide from them again.

1d20 + 19 ⇒ (18) + 19 = 37

Initative
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Drake Thnx and my stealth; +29 stealth, +6 DEX, +12 Ranks, +3 class skill, +3 skill focus, +5 cloak of elvenkind

Zaldane, You know I can cast daylight. I had fun with it the first night of our trip out here.

Ini: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

What can I figure about the Chalice and the shuffling zombie things?
K Arcana: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
K Religion: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Would entangle work here? Some GMs allow casting it anywhere but others say only where there is plants. Which is your call?

Edit; Drake, actually its +31 I forgot to include the feat stealthy though I am now thinking I should have selected something else.

I need round one actions from Chirinide and Malcom and Gelik(if he is still playing)

Chirinide

Pendin

Drake on your action you take a double move back and slip around the corner and into the room with the chalice and hide in the shadows along the walls successfully.

enemies!! Down my way!!

Malcom hears Drake and immediately abandons his find. Securing a shield to each arm he jogs around the corner (somewhere around C or D, 33 or 34. Whichever creates a straight line for next round) and prepares to make a Charge Attack in Round 2.

Chirinide moves up and casts entangle on the area with the shambler things. (DC 17)

Malcom runs down the hall and stops across from the creatures that are coming out of the south part of the t intersection and gets ready to attack, about this time Chirinide cast entangle and successfully grabs the entire group of undead creatures within the area of effect. Each one of them are stopped in there tracks. On there turns 4 of them take move actions to become unentangled in the back. the front to look at Malcom and gaze at you with baleful glares that reach into your very souls as if they are trying to rob you of your existence.

Malcom I need 2 fort saves DC 18

Give me your round 2 actions please

Pendin stays knocked out :)

while hiding in the shadows, I take my bow off my side and try to gauge the distance I am away from them now. After seeing Malcom fall by looking at them. I decide that my best bet is to stay away from them and shoot from afar.

attack rollto hit the first one that I can see from my vantage point (understanding that I will lose cover and no sneak attack.)

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

damage if hit with vital stike
2d8 + 0 ⇒ (1, 6) + 0 = 7

who is still up btw? so I know what is going on

Fort Save #1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Fort Save #2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Malcom feels strange as he locks eyes with his foes. Its a feeling unlike any hes ever experienced before.

If he passes his saves Malcom lets out a loud scream and charges.

"RAWWWWWWWWWWW!!!"

Malcom attempts to break through the front line:

Overrun: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33

If successful the target is knocked prone and takes an Attack of Opportunity. If unsuccessful Malcom stops directly in front of the target.

Attack w/ Power Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

Damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20

If the overrun succeeds Malcom Charge Attacks the target directly behind the first:

Attack w/ Power Attack & Charge: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29

Damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

If the hit succeeds the target is subject to a Bullrush attack using Malcom's attack roll in place of a CMB roll.

Still trying to play, but OMG 50 posts over the weekend!
Init: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Round 1
Hearing Drake's muffled outcry, Gelik runs towards him, only to find a group of undead. move L39->H39
He stops in his tracks and gulps an extract, before resuming the movement. Heroism, +2 morale bonus to atk, saves, skill checks
He rummages through his memory, trying to remember what species those creatures belong to.
Perception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 20 = 39
Knowledge (Arcana or Nature): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (6) + 21 = 27

Round 2
Gelik continues to run, moving around the corner behind Drake. Move H39->D38
A dry grin runs over Gelik's face as he grabs two bags with colored powders and swiftly pours them over three small vials. He then throws the vials into the group of undead, shaking them vigorously before throwing. At the last moment he notices Malcom charge past him and curses under his breath as he adjusts the trajectory.
Throw splash weapon aiming at C42 or C41 after it dies, ranged touch attack w/Rapid Shot, PB Shot and Heroism, excluding Malcom's square from splash damage (or up to 6 squares occupied by allies in case they all decide to charge)
Attack1: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 1 = 17
Damage: 6d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 6, 3, 5) + 6 + 1 = 30, 12+1 splash damage
Attack2: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 1 = 30
Damage: 6d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 5, 8, 5, 7, 7) + 6 + 1 = 44, 12+1 splash damage

Damage: 6d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8, 8, 6, 2, 5, 3) + 6 + 1 = 39, 12+1 splash damage
The damage is acid-based.

Malcolm Entangle is a constant and non-discriminating effect. I can only see far enough to land it on the front row so the entangle goes to 15 ft in front of them.

Shadow Conjuration, Acid arrow at the nearest one. will DC 20 for partial.

2d4 dmg per round for 4 rounds, successful save takes only 20% dmg.

Malcolm Entangle is a constant and non-discriminating effect. I can only see far enough to land it on the front row so the entangle goes to 15 ft in front of them.

I can see how that would foil my attack. I don't suppose you'd mind dismissing the spell would you? None of them are caught in it anyway. I believe its a free action.

If you don't want to I'll revise my actions tonight after work.

It won't completely foil it, you just need to make a save to not be stopped dead cause you can move normal if you meet the dc 17 reflex save and I need you to make this save if you are wanting to proceed with your action as is cause you have the highest init and in order for me to resolve what is happening this round I need to know what your going to do. Also Chirinide has the lowest init this combat so you would have to wait till then if you she was going to dismiss entangle, but realize the front line is entangled and if they want to move forward towards the party they have to make saves so it pretty well placed. attached is a map of where I am guessing based off of comments where everyone is wanting to be and where I am guessing the entangle is dropped is this correct? and Chirinide the green is the entangle is this the right placement?

map

I just read entangle. I didn't realize you could move normally if you passed the save.

As Malcom lurches forward he notices the entire area is covered in a thick layer of plants and weeds.

No stopping now!!!

Reflex Save to enter entangled area: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

The spell also calls for another save if I end my turn within the spells area.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Malcom rush towards the undead and gets entangled in the weeds but is still able to clock the first one with his shield pretty good despite the weeds, at the end of the round you become unentangled

Next Drake peeks out from the the other end of the hall and hits the same one with a arrow as well.

Zaldane, Pendin, Luca, and Aelearon are still passed out Aelearon you and luca are up at the beginning of next round, Zaldane and Pendin beginning of the following round

Gelik

Chirinide you hit the only one available to hit this round though it remains standing after the hit. roll dmg

The undead fail their saves when they try and move into the entangled area and instead deceide to glare at malcom again. Malcom 4 fort saves this round

round 3 actions please
