Round Two:

Calling upon her new-found abilities, Liu Na pulls the shadows about herself and disappears from view. The now-invisible ninja steps around her attacker to flank the skeleton battling Lina before re-appearing as she lashes out at the undead with her hanbo.

Swift action to use Vanishing Trick (supernatural ability; doesn't provoke AoO). Move action to step into position to flank skeleton battling Lina. Standard action to attack Lina's skeleton - the skeleton is denied Dex bonus to AC for this attack (since Liu Na was invisible) and subject to sneak attack damage.

Hanbo Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 11
Hanbo Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (6) = 11

Number of Ki Points remaining: 2/3

Liu Na's AC: 16
Liu Na's HP: 10/14

Barreling on through the first Skeleton, Kalistrine raises her shield with both hands and aims to smash the ribcage of the Skeleton attacking Lina with the edge of the shield.

Shield Bash 2-handed 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Oops forgot my place in the lineup.
I swing again.
Attack:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 For:1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

If the skeleton dies I take my move action to move up to the next one, flanking with somebody if possible.

Liu swings her hanbo and misses.

Walthus attacks the skeleton against Lina 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 damage 1d6 ⇒ 4.

Jorland destroys the skeleton on him.

Kalistrine destroys the skeleton on Lina.

Lina, Takeshi.

Takeshi takes another swing at the nearby skeleton.

Attack defensively w/ Bless: 1d20 + 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 4 + 1 = 12

Lina

Sorry, busy with Christmas stuff. Merry Christmas everyone, by the way!

"Thanks, Kali!" Lina steps back and momentarily grabs Kilistrine's arm for stability.

Casts Guidance on Kalistine. What I'd give to have Disrupt Undead on the Oracle spell list...

Lina casts bless.

Takeshi is unable to successfully hit the skeleton on him.

Round 3

Skeleton 2 full attacks Takeshi L 1d20 ⇒ 18 hit, damage [1d4+1[/dice] R 1d20 ⇒ 12 miss

Skeleton 3 full attacks Liu 1d20 ⇒ 19hit, damage 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 R 1d20 ⇒ 8 miss.

Liu Walthus, Kalistrine, Jorland, Lina, Takeshi.

Round Three:

With Lina's attacker dispatched by Kalistrine, Liu Na turns to strike at the other skeleton attacking her before backing up a step.

Standard action to attack skeleton. 5 ft step back from skeleton

Hanbo Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18
Hanbo Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 bludgeoning

Number of Ki Points remaining: 2/3

Liu Na's AC: 16
Liu Na's HP: 8/14

Liu obliterates the skeleton upon her.

Walthus moves to attack the skeleton attacking takeshi with his longbow 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 damage 1d6 ⇒ 4

Seeing Liu Na successfully fighting off the Skeleton attacking her, the tall Changeling assaults the final one Takeshi is dueling with her shield, a feral shriek serving as her battlecry.

Double-handing shield bash 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 +2 more if I can manage a flank.
Damage 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Kalistrine steps to the remaining skeleton and plows it over with a fury.

Combat Over

I look around at the carnage. "Figured they'd get up." I look at the others. "Everybody awright? Anybody need a moment?" I wait for response.

"I wouldn't say 'No' to some of that magical healing, if Lina's still got some available," Liu Na responds to Jorland's question.

"Likewise, although I may be able to push on if necessary. I should try to be more careful."

10/15 hp

Lina nods. "I think Desna will give me her blessing a few more times."

CLW Liu: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
CLW Takeshi: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"Ah! Thanks Lina! And thanks to Desna as well," Liu Na says with relief as the healing energies mend her wounds.

Kalistrine pokes through the remains of the skeletons while the others rest. "Take a few minutes. We've got time. Give me a hand if you're not too worn out."

Perception take 20, result 25

On the wrecked skeletons you are able to find remnants of some what looks to be Tian armor but it is all in horrible repair.

I shrug at Kali. "If dere be no magic stuffs on dem bones, best leave anyting else day may have. Bound to be worthless an heavy. Once we all patched up I say we push on."

I look to Lina and Takeshi. "Ye both kind of magiky. Can ye spot it too?" Fancy IC way of asking, do you have detect magic.

There are two paths from here both in a northerly direction, so do you want to take first north or second north?

After she has finished sifting through the remains and when the others seem ready to move on, Kalistrine moves to the right path and looks down the tunnel, then listens for any movement.

Perception 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

"Uh, oh! I think I can do that. Let me see..." She wrinkles her brow as she concentrates hard on the items.

Casts detect magic

What are you trying to cast detect magic on?

Detect Magic produces a 60 foot cone that reveals the presence of magic. For some classes, I believe arcane only but I could be wrong, in some classes it is a cantrip and can be used endlessly, thus, if she has it as a cantrip or Orsion, she can scan the entire chamber and it will reveal ALL present magic to her and her alone. I'm hoping she is going over the whole room with it to find magic items or any magic traps or other elements.

I look at Kali. "Dats da way ye wanna go? Fine. Lina ye find anyting?" I wait to see if Lina finds something.

Lina

Kalistrine shrugs and moves to the leftmost tunnel to look and listen there as well.

Perception 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Lina shakes her head at Jorland. "Nothing we can use, anyway."

I nod. "Right! Onward den!" I put away my weapon and march down the right passage with gusto.

Your group moves through the meandering passage to the right where you come upon to the right a tunnel you have already traversed and then you continue forward unto the unknown for another 30 feet of jaggedy cavern whereupon you see the cavern opens up and becomes wider and the ceiling is much higher up.

about fifteen feet into the room you see a pool of water and 20 feet past that you see an island of crystalline growths from an island on the other side.

Moving cautiously, Kalistrine peers into the dim cavern, her axe readied and shield up. "No Skeletons, at least." she whispers.

Perception 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Lina looks around the cavern in wonder. "Have you ever seen anything so beautiful in your life?"

I look at Lina a bit perplexed. "Ye can see dat? Tought yer eyes be bad."
I shrug and turn my attention back to the chamber. "Maybe this is all there is. Anyone see a way to em crystals?"

Lina shrugs. "It's strange. I can't see things in the distance at all, but close up I can at least make out shapes - and the funny thing is darkness doesn't seem to affect me at all anymore. I can see the shapes just as well out in the sun as in the dark of night." She blushes slightly. "I've just never been underground before, and all these...hangy things! It's incredible!"

So do you want to wade into the pool to get dem crystals or go somewhere else?

Dunno, I'm waiting on the others to say something.

Kalistrine walks up to the pool of water and looks in. How deep is it? And is there anything in the water I can see, like pointy rocks or a drop-off, or anything odd about the water itself?

As Kalistrine approaches the water's edge a giant amoeba emerges from the murk and attacks her, slam 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 and misses.

Initiative rolls: Kalistrine 1d20 ⇒ 8,
Jorland 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Lina1d20 ⇒ 18
Liu1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Takeshi 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Walthus 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Amoeba 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (15) - 5 = 10

Round 1

Lina, Walthus, Amoeba, Kalistrine, Jorland, Liu, Takeshi

It is about five foot deep.

Lina is startled by the sudden sounds. "Why can't it just be a pretty cave! Always monsters!"

Casts guidance on Liu

Walthus attacks the amoeba with his Longbow 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 damage 1d6 ⇒ 5 confirm crit, 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 damage 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

Walthus' skill with a bow brings down the amoeba in one shot with its incandescent body disintegrating upon the impact of the arrow, covering the group in the goo which makes up the body of this creature.

Combat Over

The suddenness of the attack, and then the extreme prejudice with which Walthus puts an end to the threat, leaves Kalistrine stunned. She wipes the goo from her eyes and turns, her front quite a sight, covered as it is in shiny, slippery protoplasm. "Pfuh, sphluh..." she spits it out of her mouth.

Liu Na wipes exploded-amoeba-goop from her face, flicking her hands to send more spatters of slime flying across the cavern.

"Well, I feel sufficiently gross now. But at least we don't have to worry about Jorland trying to make us eat that thing. Shall we try the other passage?" the half-elf asks.

Takeshi frowns at the goo splattered on him.

"Do we want to investigate those crystals lying in the water before we move on? Might double as a quick clean of this gunk off too."

As Liu speaks I am collecting traces of the amoeba off the groud. As the rest of you are cleaning goo off, I hand out some jars. "Here put what you don't want in these. I see if I can make some kind of sauce out of it later, if there is enough that is."

I turn my attention back to the crystals. "I suppose but if swimmin is require den I gotta strip to do it. Ye want me te go in an get em?"

Kalistrine smirks. "Be my guest, but I think I need a bath too." she says. "No idea when this stuff'll start to stink. What's say we have a short break and wash the goo off?"

As Liu speaks I am collecting traces of the amoeba off the groud. As the rest of you are cleaning goo off, I hand out some jars. "Here put what you don't want in these. I see if I can make some kind of sauce out of it later, if there is enough that is."

Liu Na grimaces with distaste when Jorland hands her a jar for collecting amoeba-goo.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

A few seconds later the sound of shattering glass momentarily fills the chamber. "Oops! It slipped right out of my hand - must've been too slimey," she apologizes.

I snort. "Meh, I got enough ta make someting. Anyways, I gots te git te em crystals." I strip butt naked unashamed. I do a few quick stretches and pick up my morning star and my waterproof sack. I head into the pool and swim to the crystals. As long a nothing attacks me I should make it to the crystals. Whaat do I find when I get there?

Jorland swims 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 I didnt take into the fact you were naked, irrelevant :) to the other side where he finds large rock crystals growing from out of the soil in a lovely whitish color.

Upon hearing Jorland undress, Lina whispers to Liu, "Should I be glad I can't see what's happening right now?"

Actually my shedding everything removes the armor check penalty and encumbrance penalty. I am at a +6 to swim right now. That's why I stripped.
