Fener moves the Flaming sphere to O-20 attacking the creature.
DC 17 Reflex
Move to N15. Attack O16.
Flames from Örlög-Eldur stream through the air as Nästród raises it up above his head in both hands and brings it back down in a powerful chop.
"End this infestation!"
|
Fener exudes his will upon the flaming sphere, and it moves to hit the skull in O-20. But the scampering creature sees the sphere approach, avoiding any damage!
Nastrod moves forward and swings his magic sword downward on the skull in O-16. The blow smashes the skull into tiny pieces, and the creature inside is burned to death!
Round 4:
Group 1: Imowen and Gezzo
I step forward to O-19 and bring my Masterwork Mace down on the Skull in O-20!
Attack:
Damage:
Gezzo steps up and attacks the spider with his masterwork greatsword.
I say to the rest of our group Shall we continue where we left off?
Celif watches the snake as it vanishes back to whence it came. "New invocations always need practicing and perfecting, I suppose," she says quietly to herself.
"Good job, everyone. Yes, let's press on."
Yes, let's continue..
I head up for the blue torch, examine it and if it doesn't look dangerous or evil-witch-craftery, then I grab it.
Flug mutters to himself, "But thou wouldst not think how ill all's here about my heart: but it is no matter."
I look at Flug for a moment, entire face occupied by confusion...
I then start heading for the door to the east with the torch in hand. Go to J-16

Thorgrim makes his way to the pair of bronze doors at the end of the hallway. The walls here are constructed with more skill than the other areas of the crypt, being fashioned from expertly smoothed stone. The floor is of polished white marble, reflecting the blue light cast by the torch. Each of the doors contains a large cast emblem.
Celif follows Thorgrim, stopping a bit behind him to study the emblems from a (hopefully) safe distance.
Fener follows the group to the rear keeping his ears and eyes open for anything unusual.
Rudy at his side.
"More remnants from the Tar Sequin militia," Celif says as she points to the metal plaques on the doors.
I say as I pass by, I totally agree, Flug, following Thorgrim back down the hallway and turning west toward the double bronze doors ending up at J-15. I check the doors for traps and to see if they are locked, and disable them and unlock them if they are.
Trap finding:
Disable Device - traps:
Disable Device - lock:
I kick the door open, greatsword in one hand and blue torch in the other!
What do I see?

Thorgrim opens the bronze doors...
The room contains two massive stone sarcophagi, each with its lid sculpted out of a single piece of marble with an effigy of the entombed. The sarcophagus on the left depicts a man dressed in engraved armor, with his arms crossed on his breastplate. He is holding a gladius in his right hand and a baton in the left. The sarcophagus on the right depicts a woman dressed in a hooded, flowing robe over chainmail. Her right hand holds a holy symbol of Septimus, and a mace is held in the left.
A 5 x 10 foot marble altar engraved with the image of a rising sun sits at the middle of the western wall. The altar emits a faint glow.
"This is a sacred place. We should leave these two in peace," Celif says quietly.
Standing in J-15, I nod in agreement to Celif and gently pull the doors closed again and re-lock them.
Re-able Device - lock:
Now let's go back to where we turned right and go on right down that hallway. And I proceed to do just that ending up at 0-6 where I proceed to check the skeleton in O-5 for loot!
Perception:
Celif thinks about what she saw in the room, sifting through her memories for any hint as to who the two interred there might have been.
Fener States : Are you sure we dont want to investigate the room. Being respectful, but there may be some academic value to learn. Maybe some real value to understanding whats going on in this place. There is some dark magic here.
Celif looks thoughtful. "Well, perhaps done with reverence -- and an offering to Septimus -- it would be alright. I'll pray for guidance tonight. But we have other areas we can survey in the meantime."
Finding nothing here, I proceed down the hallway to the east toward the blue-flamed torch to Y-5, and check out the object on the floor at Y-6 that is emitting a faint glow.
Perception:
Flug approaches the sarcophagi and holds out a hand, muttering to himself as he stares intently at them.

Imowen makes her way down the passageway to the east. The walls are lined with niches from floor to ceiling, containing the remains of hundreds of bodies. A torch stand in the alcove at the east end of the corridor contains a flame emitting an eerie dark blue light. Something on the floor near the torch stand reflects the torch light. Humanoid bones lie scattered haphazardly along the corridor near the torch.
She bends down, and picks up a light steel mace from the floor. As she examines it, she notices that it glows with a faint light. She also notices that the bones begin moving, and assembling themselves into a complete skeleton!
Watching the skeleton forming I am thinking to myself, "What is going on here?".
Initiative:
Initiative:
Gezzo hops into the saddle and snaps the reigns.
Let's go, Lryhla! Imowen should not be wandering off alone!
Back up, Imowen! We can draw this creature from it's corner.
Taking the initiative as soon as the skeleton is formed, I smash at it with the light steel mace.
Attack:
Confirm crit:
Damage:
Hearing Gezzo's remark I say, Not if we kill him first! And thanks for the help.

|
Gezzo and Imowen converge upon the skeleton, and each manages to strike it with powerful blows! Shards of bones spray about in all directions as the creature is smashed to bits!
While engaged in the attacks, they both realize that more bones on the floor are moving, and assembling before their gaze!

Group 2: Skeletons
The bones scattered about the hallway move in seemingly random patterns, but they connect to each other, and two more skeletons rise at X-5 and X-6 and attack Imowen and Gezzo, raking with clawed hands!
X-5 Attack:
X-6 Attack:
Imowen is raked critically for thirteen points of damage, and Gezzo is critically raked for 11 points of damage!
Group 3: Celif, Flug, Thorgrim, Nastrod
"Where'd they get to!" exclaims Celif upon hearing the sounds of battle echoing down the halls. Quickly getting her bearings, she takes off toward the skirmish.
Double move to R6.
Flug moves after Celif and gets ahead of her, loaded down as she is.
Ooohhhhh!!! Ggrrroooaaannn!!!
I run full speed towards the noise, N-7
