AR's Crypt of the Everflame! (Inactive)

Game Master Daxter

Breathing a sigh of relief, Victor searches the room for anything of interest.

Perception 'Take 10' = 20.

Stuffed into a nest at the end of the chamber is the mostly devoured corpse of a human man. On his right hand is a ring of swimming.

"Cute."

With a smirk, Victor checks the southern door for traps (Perception 30), then (assuming that there are none), opens it to explore the corridor beyond.

EDIT: Since it looks like we will pass Area 15 anyway, I guess we should take a look in there on the way south ;-)

After combat ends Fyssaryx asks the others "Are all of you well? Any injuries?" and then she takes a moment to calm down after the battle...

Bambang smiles in appreciation at Fyssaryx for her concern. "It seems we managed to get through that encounter unscathed. Except for my spirit beast, but the wounds aren't permanent." Bambang briefly concentrates and dismisses the spirit eagle into etheric mists. He then turns to follow Victor's lead.

Yup, area 15 it is. Can Bambang use the ring of swimming? Because of his armor, he would have about 70% chance of drowning in calm water. :)

"Unhurt thank you. " no objections here if Bambang uses the ring of swimmming should we encounter water

A strange blue fungus covers the walls, ceiling, and pillars of this waterlogged chamber. Its wispy strands stretch out from the wall like roots dangling in the air, twitching and swaying in an unseen breeze. Floating in the water are four decaying corpses-three large rats and one decaying frog, all with strange burn marks over their bodies.

Nature?

He spots the corpses, and notes especially the burn marks. Suspecting the mysterious fungus might have something to do with it, Bambang examines them from a distance.

Knowledge(Nature): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

"Halt!" Bambang calls out, trying not to raise his volume too high and inadvertently setting out the fungus. In a lower tone, he explains, "I have come across this in my travels. They are known as Azure Fungus. They are very sensitive to touch, and will release large discharge of electricity. That would explain the burnt corpses. Intense would render them insert, however. I say we don't risk it, though. Let's detour around this room from where we faced the giant frogs."

"Sounds reasonable to me."

Victor keeps heading south.

This large chamber is partially flooded, with the south end just barely rising out of the stagnant water. A large wheel is set into the floor of the dry area, attached to chains that rise up into the ceiling. A thick layer of slick black mold covers the walls of this chamber. Four skeletons rise up from the water and attack!

Bam and Fyss are up!

Without hesitation, Bambang draws his make-shift club and smashes it at the skeleton that has suddenly risen beside him. He notes how apt it is to use it against this enemy.

battleaxe, enhanced strength: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11 vs green skeleton
damage, enhanced strength: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

Fyssaryx draws her great club and strikes at the green skeleton...

Great Club+PA: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21…DMG: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Wei has no club to use.. and vows to take a large bone from these skeletons after the fight... He just draws his sword and moves to one of the skeletons. 0 bab, so draw and move is all he can do.

Bambang's axe misses but Fyss's club does not and she smashes the skeleton next to her. The remaining skeletons attack!

Red vs Tchak: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Red vs Tchak: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Blue vs Victor: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Yellow vs Fyss: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Wei moves and draws his weapon. Fyss, Victor, and Bam are up!

Victor winces as he dodges the skeleton's claw, but does his best to take it out.

Battle Aspergillum: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 damage.

Bambang steps around Fyssaryx and attacks the next skeleton.

battleaxe, enhanced strength: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 1 = 20 vs yellow skeleton
damage, enhanced strength: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

If Bam dstroys the yellow skeleton then Fyssaryx will take a 5 ft step and attack the blue skeleton, if Bam does not destroy the yellow then Fyssaryx will attack the yellow...

GC+PA: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18…DMG: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Bam's axe destroys another undead while Fyss' nodachi does the same. Tchak!

Tchak swings at the last skeleton, then steps so others can get to it as well...

to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
dmg if hits, slashing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Tchak misses with his swing. The last skeleton retaliates on Tchak.

Vs Tchak: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Vs Tchak: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Party is up!

Bambang steps past Fyssaryx and swings his makeshift club at the last skeleton.

Oops, description was wrong. He was using the makeshift club for the bludgeoning damage.
club, enhanced strength: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 = 21 vs red skeleton
damage, enhanced strength: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

Tchak winces as he takes a serious wound... hopes Bambang killed it. If he did, Tchak will take a large bone, like a femur, to use as a club in case there are more skeletons in here.

Sure enough Bambang finishes off the last skeleton! Combat over!

Bambang stows away the skeletal thigh bone, and pulls out his wand. Expending a charge, he wills some healing energy into Tchak.

wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Where to now?

Once everyone is ready, Fyssaryx will tell the others "Mind the sides. Pits under water. Wht is that on the other side of the room?"

"It looks look a big wheel, attached to chains..."

Victor cautiously inspects the wheel for traps.

Perception 'Take 20' = 30.

"Thank you for the healing and the skeleton demise as well." He takes a femur from the fallen skeleton. "I'm going to be prepared if we run into these again!"

Victor finds no traps on the wheel.

"I might need to stop by that magik water room if we have another bad scrap."

Sorry I completely missed that Fyssaryx was injured.

Bambang realises that Fyssaryx was also injured. He pulls out the wand and expends a healing charge on her.

wand of cleaning: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Alright if you're ready to move on, just tell me where.

"It looks like we have come to a dead-end; shall we go back and check-out the western wing?"

Area 18, to be precise.

The corridor opens up into a winding catacomb. The walls are skillfully carved with deep recesses where bodies might have been lain. All that remains now are cobwebs, dust, and the tattered remains of ancient clothing. The stench of rotting flesh is overpowering here and the source soon makes itself evident as four shambling undead appear out of hiding.

Bam and Victor are up!

Victor wrinkles his nose.

"Disgusting!"

Nevertheless, he moves to stab the closest zombie.

Magical Dagger: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 8, for 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 + (1) = 7 damage.

Bambang examines the new monsters, recalling what he might have come across about them.

Knowledge(Religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

He then steps forward and chops away.

battleaxe, enhanced strength: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 = 15 vs red zombie
damage, enhanced strength: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

Victor misses while Bambang lands a solid hit. The zombies retaliate.

Red vs Bam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Yellow vs Bam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Blue vs Fyss: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Make a Fort save please.

Green vs Victor: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Only one of the zombies is able to score a hit though.

Party is up!

Grimly, Victor attempts to tumble around the zombie, and then stab it in the back.

Dagger: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22, for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 damage.
Dagger: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21, for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 damage.

"If someone could help me flank this thing, I would be much obliged!"

"Beward my friends! These walking dead carry the plague! They will explode on destruction in a cloud of disease, infecting all those around them!

With that said, Bambang takes a step back and once again, draws upon the spiritual forces within his pendant to draws forth a celestial pony to fight on his side.

5-foot step, then standard action to spend 1 conjuration mental focus to use the servitor power (summon monster I for 1 min).
PONY (AC 11, HP 13/13, smite evil) attacks red zombie
hoove 1: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (9) - 3 = 6
damage, smite evil: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
hoove 2: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (8) - 3 = 5
damage, smite evil: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

FORT: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

If she is able to continue then Fyssaryx rages as a swift action...
and strikes the closest zombie...
Nodachi+PA: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 21…DMG: 1d10 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 3 = 11

if green is still up, Wei will strike at it, otherwise, he'll move over toblue and help victor

to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Victor tumbles around the zombie and scores a hit while Bambang's steed fails to damage its target. Fyss annihilates her foe and it explodes covering her and Tchak in its putrid flesh. Fort saves from both.

Wei then moves and tries to help Victor to no avail. The remaining zombies keep fighting.

Blue Vs Victor: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 And a fort save.
Red vs Pony: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Yellow vs Pony: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Party is up.

Wei strikes at the zombie between himself and victor again...

to hit: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 = 12
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

but with no more luck than last time...

Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14.

Victor winces, as he has the wind knocked from his sails, but gamely keeps slashing at the zombie.

Magical Dagger: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15, for 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + (5) = 8 damage.

Fort (since I have a feeling that another explosion is in my immediate future): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19.

Tchak and Victor make quick work of the zombie between them and it too explodes! Tchak needs to make a fort save. Fyss and Bam are up!

If I'm not wrong, Fyssaryx is down to 1 hp? She took 8 damage from the previous zombie attack?

Bambang steps away from the zombies. He gets ready for his teammate to be near him to cast cure wounds. Meanwhile, the celestial pony continues its attack on the same target.

Move action sheathe axe. Standard action ready action to cast CLW on Fyssaryx when she passes by for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 hp. If I'm wrong about Fyssaryx hp situation, then Bambang would instead heal Victor instead.
PONY (AC 11, HP 7/13, smite evil) attacks red zombie
hoove 1: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (14) - 3 = 11
damage, smite evil: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
hoove 2: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (13) - 3 = 10
damage, smite evil: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Pony's job was to hold off two of the zombies while the party cleared off the rest. It is unlikely to last through the next round. I'm assuming that Fyssaryx would go around to attack yellow zombie, as I think she has enough movement left.

FORT: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Fyssaryx wipes some zombie goo off of her and moves to the next zombies stopping only when she sees... a pony...? Ah yes the casters summons...and she stops...

Bambang heals Fyssaryx while his summoned pony still fails to do damage. The aasimar holds her position.

Red vs Pony: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Yellow vs Pony: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

The undead also fail to do any damage. Party up again.
