The Seven Seasoned Pathfinders (Core) (Inactive)

Game Master caps

Ēoswulf stands resolutely, his battle fatigue worn off. "Yes, now!" He beats his shield with his sword.

The party heads to the graveyard...

The graveyard used by the Bahjari family is one they share with several other wealthy families in Katheer. Small crypts and mausoleums containing the matriarchs and patriarchs dot the fenced-in burial ground, and freestanding gravestones mark where less influential family members are interred.

Many graves have been disturbed, and the doors of several mausoleums hang open. To the south (low, left... I spun the map to fit.) lies the Bahjari family mausoleum. A woman clad in black robes lies prone near its door.

Fillia straight up due to recent events is on high alert.
Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Instead of going for the woman, leaving that to her companions. She moves and places an arrow to her bow as she looks up and about for danger.

"You would think there would be some of those undead things wandering around here too."

Ēoswulf, still armed, rushes to the woman's side to see who she is and if she is still alive.

Geo stays back, watching the shadows to make sure this isn't a trap.

Fillia scan's the cemetery, but sees no activity other than the woman. From many of the disturbed graves she sees, it appears the risen dead mostly shuffled off towards the manor.

The woman on the ground, recognized as the woman that performed the ceremony earlier, Umut, appears to be in pretty bad shape.

When Eoswulf approaches, with Fillia cautiously following and Geo, looking for any trouble at the gate, She sits up, looking haggard. She reports that when she placed the gifts in the Bahjari crypt, one of the gifts released a powerful wave of necromantic energy that animated the bodies of the buried nobles. She battled them as best she could but was only able to fend off the creatures that tried to shamble out of the crypt, not the ones that rose from the graves outside.

"Please help me in eliminating the undead that remain sealed inside the crypt!," she pleads.

Fillia upon hearing that sneaks in closer to get a better look though her movements sets her apart from this Umlat since she's somehow alive....which means she's either very powerful or she's lying
Perception +2 if human 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Stealth 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Sense Motive +2 if human 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Fillia gets every impression Umut is telling the truth, and she does look pretty beaten up.

Hinkle nods, "If there are any undead left in there we will take care of them. Now this gift that appeared to be the source of this Necromancy, can you describe it for us? Also if you feel you can add us in battle we can provide you with healing."

She explains she's not sure which one it was... it may have been a gold embossed box, or the ledger sitting right next to it... "There were so many gifts... and they're mostly positioned together in the crypt."

"Yes, there are certainly some undead in the crypt, I managed to shut the doors on them. I will certainly aid you... I can heal myself, but if you have healing to spare, I could save my powers to heal you while you fight!"

Hinkle is happy to oblige and gives her a tap from his wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"Lets get in there and find out what happened here," Hinkle says as he leads the way into the crypt.

That certainly helped her some, and Hinkle sees her perk up, but the visible signs of the fight remain. She smiles, "Thank you kind sir... save the rest for yourselves, you may need it in the coming fight, I know I couldn't handle these beasts! To the fight!"

I'll take that as a go to enter the crypt

Opening the door the party sees a statue of one of the Bahjari family, a small room, and stairs leading down.

New Map Placed

Everyone please place you where you want to be inside or out of the crypt, or tell me to move you, Geo is still across the cemetery.

Ēoswulf makes his way into the crypt and positions himself to overlook the stairs, then looks over his his shoulder to see if the others are coming after him

Geo follows from a distance, staying to the shadows.

Eoswulf waits at the top of the stairs...

Geo sneaks up, maintaining his distance from the party. Only Fillia seems to notice his presence.

Which Fillia ignores seeing that's its Geo and not some other nasty.

Hinkle takes a moment to scan the room with detect magic. If everything seems well he will proceed down the steps after casting his shield spell.

Hinkle scans the upper crypt for magic, seeing none.

Hinkle hears some scuffling noises from below. casting shield, he heads below... near the bottom of the stairs he sees a larger lower crypt, but does not immediately see any activity.

Map forthcoming...

Is it dark?

Map placed

The walls of this crypt are lined with the interred bodies of many generations of the Bahjari family, tracing back all the way to the era of the first Qadiran satraps. A dying torch dimly illuminates the room.

Dim light

Hinckle sees a skeletal shape shambling around on the other side of the room.

The others see Hinkle head down the stairs... pointing two fingers at his own eyes, one finger in the air, then pointing forward into the crypt... SWAT fashion.

Fillia moves forward, her bow nocked prepared to send an arrow to her foe and offer covering fire.

Eoswulf gets a good look at a skeletal creature across the room.

Umut is startled by the appearance of Fillia. She quickly regains her composure, "You with these others? They are heading into the crypt to deal with some undead abominations!"

She holds... letting the heroes do their thing.

Geo moves in closer, assuming nothing else appears to distract him.

There, Geo?

Sorry - I was not sure how to read the maps. Behind Fillia is fine, although if Geo still has movement available, he will follow Eoswulf in (icon placed).

When Geo comes running up, Umat again looks quite startled, "Another one?! How many of you are there?!"

The undead creature rushes Eoswulf taking a swing with its scimitar... missing miserably.

Geo moves to get around behind the undead creature, and draws his rapier and a vial of acid.

Filla waits to see if Eoswulf could deal with it himself, having trust in his ability to hold his own.

Fillia doesn't really know what's going on down there... she's still outside? Or did she go down?

was your intention to move into flanking, Geo?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Yes. I am not sure what happened, I was pretty sure I moved it to the right position.

I assume the fight was done with manly grunts and appropriate screams? Else I go down and still do the same thing.....

Umat scowls at Fillia, steps back, and casts, Cause Fear

With a solid hit from his longsword the skeleton explodes falls to the ground, a pile of bones...

Run Fillia Run!!!!

Not sure that I would be aware of what is happening outside. Going to proceed as if I do not.

With the undead laid back to rest, Hinkle focuses on finding the source of the neromantic magic by casting his detect magic spell and focusing on the alter.

Would only get a ping if one of the gifts on the alter is magical.

Ēoswulf looks around. "Where are the rest of them?"

fatigued for this round and next

-Posted with Wayfinder

Hinkle sees no magic on the alter, but on the bony hand of the skeleton he detects faint abjuration.

Fillia flees as fast as she can to the cemetery exit, fear coursing through her veins, as she's passing the statue mid-cemetery, she pulls it together, pushing the fear away, and comes slowly to a stop.

Eoswulf, fatigued, looks around for more enemies, seeing none...

On her turn Fillia will come back but this time more wary of Umlat. And defintely not so close either!

"I saw them standing up top. It is possible they did not know there was trouble... I didn't! Perhaps we should yell for some assistance?"

Geo attacks the undead foe.

Rapier Attack, Flanking: 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 0 + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + (2) = 7

we took it out already

-Posted with Wayfinder

Ha! I really wanted it dead! I was thrown by the fact that we are still in rounds and that the map still shows the creature.

Geo starts searching the area to try and determine where this creature came from.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
