Need actions from Kenan, Crissor and Sirhan.

Kenan fires 2 arrows at the now visible ghost.

Arrow #1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Arrow #2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Sirhan follows Kenan's Lead moving first to get a better vantage point to shoot the Ghost with arrows.(Moving to F,9)

Bow Attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Arrow Damage 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Round 5
Initiative 24

Kenan puts one arrow into the ghost.

Initiative 22

Will save 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Crissor's channeling washes over the ghost, but it looks like it shakes most of it off.

Initiative 21

Sirhan lands an arrow in the ghost as well.

Initiative 16

The ghost moves forward to tickle Jin again, still halfway in the floor.

Touch 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
DC 18 Fort for half of 7d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 1, 4, 1, 2) = 21

Peitry, Sigmund and Jin can act now. The ghost's looking salty.

Map

Fort save 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Jin recoils at the creatures touch. The negative energy sucking his very life.

You are about to fall again, withdraw!
Could't agree more my Shadow

Reeling from his injuries and feeling like he had cheated death enough this day, Jin uses WITHDRAWS (no AOO)to stand beside Sigmund.
There were others here far better suited to battling undead.

Seeing Jin damaged and backing up Peitry weaves a spell..

ASF 10%: 1d100 ⇒ 52

..and evoces intp existance a ball of flame that twirls in the air and comes to rest over the ghost.

As Jin retreats, Sigmund is already casting another healing spell.

I won't lose you twice today, Jin!

Cure moderate wounds, spontaneous: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 6 = 12

Jin spits a little blood. At least the cold feeling had left his limbs. Thank-you...

Initiative 15

Peitry summons a flaming sphere over the ghost.

Reflex save 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

The ghost burns up in a conflagration, wailing as it disappears into the smoke.

End Combat.

Everyone gets 550 XP.

The rest of the night passes without incident.

I will update again when everyone's had a chance to heal etc..

Sirhan walks up to Jin touching his should with his sword and mumbles a prayer of healing.

Cure Serious Wounds 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 8, 2) + 6 = 23

After Jin is healed Sirhan walks to Crissor repeating the process

Cure Moderate Wounds 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 6) + 6 = 13

Anyone else? Also does anyone have ability Damage?

"Well. That was... unpleasant. Good thing we put it down, regular ghostbusters, that's us." Peitry mumbles as he stares at the place the ghost was.

"This place will be safe from now on, right? It's gone isn't it?" Peitry directs his questions at the clergy.

Ghosts cannot rest peacefully until they are appeased. Jin, can you show me where the ghost was outside, tomorrow? If I can find its mortal remains, there may be some clue as to its origin and the reason it haunts this place.

"We should probably take another look outside, and take stock of our surroundings just in case this ghost wasn't the only one around."

Crissor and I have Darkvision, we can sweep around outside. Thank-you all for the healing. I think I need to improve my defences.

My Consecrate will last for an entire day, and will help fight off any more ghosts that trouble us. I would caution against fighting the ghosts outside its shelter; the mist conceals much and I would rather explore during the light of day.

I can prepare a divine shield for you Jin, but it will only last for a single combat(Shield of Faith: +3 defl AC). Alternatively, I can create a martyr's bond that will let me share your wounds, but he range is not long. Your mobility would be hindered by the leash, lest you break the bond(Shield Other: +1 def. AC, +1 res. Saves, split damage).

For the moment, I shall be less reckless. Finish your rest all of you and we can start in the morning

"Alright, let's hope the mist keeps clearing in the mornings. Better to search in the light of day than this mist-shrouded darkness."

Peitry heads off to his cot to huddle down for some sleep.

"You get some rest Jin, you took the brunt of that strike, I will continue watching til morning."

Thankyou Sirhan, I will take my rest now then and join you in a couple of hours.

With that, Jin lays down to rest. He resolved to get some better defensive gear when they got back.

Sirhan gets on his Armor and takes up the watch position so Jin can rest.

Eveyone except Kenan is on a summoned mount right?

08/24/4712 08:00

The night passes peacefully and the group wakes up early to eat breakfast and get a move on. The terrain is now low barren hills studded with near constant ruins of farms and small hamlets. By midmorning, the Fort of the Nail can be seen rising from the top of a hill in the distance to the southwest.

The group is making good time when suddenly a patch of scrub brush next to the road explodes outward as a hideously long legged corpse wielding a bone longbow springs up out of it.

Anyone who makes a DC 34 Perception check can act in the surprise round.

Everyone except Sirhan give me a DC 19 Will save vs Fear.

Sigmund is eagle eyed as he watches Fort Nail creep closer. He whirls at the sound of death itself burning in his ears, and gives a defiant shout back. Locking eyes with the mis-proportioned corpse, he racks his brain for pertinant details.

Knowledge(Religion): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 Ka-Ka-Ka-Zam! I think I broke the dice roller.

Crissor is a Divine Hunter. They give up Aura of Courage for Precise-Shot Aura.

Sigmund, that's a Baykok. They are powerful flying undead whose bows fire paralyzing arrows and deal negative energy damage. They also have the ability to devour dying creature's souls.

AC 20 HP 45/45
Conditions (effect; target(s); duration)
*Weapon of Awe (+2 sacred damage, crits cause shaken(no save); Jin; 60 rounds)

By the Inheritor! That's a dread Baykok. It is a fearsome devourer of souls. With foul magic, it flies and terrifies its victims, then paralyzes them with filthy arrows. Being powerful undead, it strikes with the power of death itself.

Sigmund gets out his holy symbol and soon his hand is engulfed in a swirling red and purple fire.

Jin, I have a blessing for your blade, so you might destroy this abomination!

Cast Weapon of Awe, hold the charge and touch Dur Dagnir as soon as its in range. (The weapon gains a +2 sacred bonus on damage rolls, and if the weapon scores a critical hit, the target of that critical hit becomes shaken for 1 round with no Saving Throw.) Undead might be immune to shaken, but it won't be immune to the extra damage!

Still missing Kenan and Crissor's saves and perception, then we can move on to round one.

How come *I* gotta fight the undead thing? Smiles, Jin was gonna attack anyway ;)

You being the only flier probably has a lot to do with it.

Waiting to see what my failed save leads to...

you also might be the best fighter out of the bunch of us.

I am awesome. Seriously though you guys can buff better.Jin just buffs FASTER.

Kenan and Crissor appear to be MIA. No one can make a DC 34 perception check I guess, so...

Kenan Will save 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Crissor Will save 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Anyone who failed their save is paralyzed this round. Those who passed are shaken this round. So Jin and Kenan lose their actions.

Round 1
Initiative 27

The Baykok floats up another five feet or so, and unleashes three bone arrows at Sigmund. They appear from thin air as it pulls back the bowstring, glittering with foul black energy.

Attack 11d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27

Damage 1d8 + 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + (5) + 4 = 13

Everyone who isn't paralyzed can act. Which means your weapon of awe doesn't get cast unless you make the save Sigmund.

Feeling the chill enter his bones Peitry experiences a moment of sheer panik at the creatures scream. Watching it rise into the air, shooting arrows of force from a bow without strings, Peitry reacts instinctively and summons his most powerful spell to his mind.

Jin feels a chill in his very bones, as both his sword and mind scream at him to move, yet there he stands. Frozen.

Sorry, a bad cold incapacitated me.

As the glittering arrows pincushion him, he fights off the nightmare venom clawing its way into his veins. Seeing Jin frozen in place, he will cast the spell on Crissor's bow instead.

Crissor, you now have Weapon of Awe on your bow. See my status block for effects.

So waiting on Sirhan and Crissor. Crissor hasn't posted in nearly a week, so I'm gonna PM him. If he doesn't respond in a day or two I'll probably start looking for a replacement.

Sorry about that, I'm back again

Crissor seeing the creature growls at the sight of the undead monster. "No more will you stalk these lands foul creature." the gnoll draws back his bow and mutters a prayer to Erastil for the power to smite this creature.
