A ghostly elven man floats from the middle of the circle towards Daimal.
He floats to the tiger and attempts to touch it.
When the ghost touches the tiger, the color bleaches from its fur, in the area touched, as if it was instantly aging.
Tiger makes a Fort Save.
With your knowledge religion, you know that this is very obviously a ghost.
Incorporial, Undead Traits, Frightful Moan, Corrupting Touch
I forgot to post initiative.
Ghost > Balramin > Tiger > Yardra
Bralman holds his action until the tiger gets in position.
Yardra says "Bralman, only use your magic weapons! Daimal, flank!" and her tiger moves around the ghost, using Acrobatics to try to avoid more attacks.
It then attacks the ghost with a bite. (Counts as magic thanks to the amulet of mighty fists).
Bralman then uses a move action to study the ghost, then takes a five-foot step and attacks with his scythe.
Finally, Shardra casts cure critical wounds, then takes a five-foot step to deliver the spell with a touch attack.
Unfortunately, her touch attack misses wildly, and she'll need to attempt the touch again next round, holding the charge.
Your magical weapon attacks connect and hit the ghost. It recoils in shock at the blows but does not disperse.
Angered by the assault, the ghost steps back and lets out an ear piercing screech.
Will saves needed from everyone.
Yardra and Daimal are fine. Bralman is panicked for .
Bralman runs the eff away.
Yardra tells Daimal once more "Flank!" and he moves behind the ghost, then makes a full attack on the ghost.
Yardra then moves around so as to not provoke, then uses a Standard action to try to deliver the spell she had held.
And once again she misses horribly.
Daimal whimpers but does another full attack on the ghost.
And Yardra attempts once more to touch the pesky ghost.
Your touch misses the ghost, fortunately the tiger's second claw causes it to dissapate and vanish.
With the ghost dissipated, Yardra shrugs and touches Daimal with the held spell.
She then pulls out a wand of cure light wounds and casts it on him a few more times.
Bralman comes back over, head hanging. "I am sorry, my lady. I cannot believe I ran away like that."
"It's alright, Bralman. It was magical fear, you have nothing to apologize for. I must remember to equip you better to resist such attacks."
The three of them search the rest of the room, and Yardra tries to make sense of the circle and what she may be able to use it for.
you find 1500g worth of trade goods from the workbench and the bookshelves. it weighs 15lbs
you can also take the alchemist lab, 200g sell for 1/2 and weighs 40lbs
treat the magical and mechanical tools as 2 sets of MW artisans tools. 55g, 5lbs sell for 1/2
The chest is still in the room.
Bralman will go back over to the chest and take out his frustration on it.
Bralman breaks through the chest after a few swings.
102 gp, 140 sp; Aquamarine (600 gp), Bloodstone (55 gp), Garnet (70 gp), Green Spinel (55 gp), Jade (120 gp), Milky Quartz (50 gp), Smoky Quartz (45 gp), Topaz (450 gp); Masterwork Hide (165 gp), Masterwork Longsword (315 gp), Masterwork Sling (300 gp); Scroll of Pass without Trace (25 gp)
Yardra and Bralman create a makeshift sack from a cape or other fabric and gather up all the large items, tying them to Daimal. Yardra carries the gems and gold herself in a belt pouch.
Seemingly finished with this room, they go back down the hallway and take the first unexplored left.
Bralman notices a secret door behind one of the bookcases.
The door is concealed behind a statue of a fearsome dragon, and it appears the door is opened by reaching into its mouth.
Checking the dragon for traps.
You don't see any traps.
Bralman puts one of his four hands in and feels around for a latch or something of that nature. If he finds it, he pulls on it.
Hail of Arrows Trap: CR 9; mechanical; Perception DC 25; Disable Device DC 25; Trigger visual (arcane eye); Reset repair; Effect Atk +20 ranged (6d6); multiple targets (all targets in a 20 ft. line)
A hail of arrows shoot forth from the mouth of the dragon, striking everyone in a 20ft line.
Bralman and Daimal each take 21 damage. (no save)
After the trap goes off, the door does not seem to open, but the mechanisms are exposed. (Disable device, str check, or other ability needed)
"OWWWWW!" yells Bralman, and poor Daimal whimpers. Yardra sighs, then pulls out her CLW wand once more.
Bralman:
Daimal:
Bralman will then take 20 on a Strength check to mess up the mechanisms and open the secret door.
After bashing around for a while, the door gives way to the four armed man.
Inside the doorway is a very long hallway.
Yardra and her crew move into the long hallway and start down it, watching for traps.
plus scent
You do not notice any traps.
The three adventurers move down the long-ass hallway.
Frost Fangs Trap: CR 7; mechanical; Perception DC 25; Disable Device DC
20; Trigger location; Duration 3 rounds; Reset none; Effect jets of freezing water (3d6 cold damage, DC 20 Reflex save for half damage); multiple targets (all targets in a 40 ft. square area)
Bralman steps on a pressure plate, and from the ceiling comes a sprinkler of freezing water.
Reflex saves needed.
(Evasion)
All three take 11 cold damage.
You make it to the end of the corridor safely. It turns in a U shape.
Yardra tosses out a few more cure light wounds charges, then the move around the corner.
Yardra:
Bralman:
Daimal:
The room continues with a T intersection.
Left. Always left. :-P
The adventurers hit a seeming dead-end to the left.
You find 3 walls, a ceiling and a floor.
Checking the door for traps, then kicking it down!
The door is stuck. You will have to force it open.
"Daimal... push."
"Try again."
The door opens to an empty room. The room is still made of the red obsidian, but there is no evidence that this room was ever used for anything.
Doors lead out to the north and southeast.
The three of them search the room, and if they find nothing, they head to the southernmost door.
The room you are currently in is empty. When you search the door to the south, you find the door unlocked.
Bralman opens the door.
A mural of legendary monsters covers the ceiling, Several torches are scattered throughout the room.
Yardra tries to study the mural and recognize some of the monsters.
As you study the murals, some of the creatures around the edges seem to peel away from the mural.
Almost immediately they pop into existence and attack.
You see 3 halfling sized humanoids with wings when they fully appear. Each one seems to be generating a primal element (fire, air, water). They are flying 10 feet off the ground. The ceiling is 15 feet.
Init: Fire, D, air, water, Y, B
The fire creature lets out a ray of fire at Yardra.
Miss...
The air creature casts a spell on itself and starts to shimmer.
The water creature lets out an arrow of acid at Yardra.
The fire creature casts a spell on Bralman and moves. (Will save)
The creatures are mephits. (DR/magic, small outsiders, they have various spell like abilities based on their type. Each has a breath weapon. The fire elemental is vulnerable to cold.
Yardra casts scorching ray at the water mephit, hoping to reduce it to steam.
Bralman uses a move action to study the water mephit, then five-foot steps forward and attacks with his +1 scythe.
(-3 power attack)
Daimal then charge-pounces the air mephit with his magic claws (the water one will get an AOO against him if it wants to take it)

Forgot Bralman's Will save:
Bralman resist the spell.
Daimal hits with the bite, but the creature shimmers away before it fully connects.
