Gerard can I presume that you will be leading the way into the attic?

Mai oui. Cannot fodder reporting for duty, Sir!

Gerard lifts the ceiling door, there is a rotten decay smell that is overpowering. Your eyes water from the stench.

Fort save DC 18 or you vomit.

I'll disclose a few other things after the fort save.

Fortitude, stench: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Hey, hey... Muraughhhh. The rogue hurls.

Congratulations Gerard, you are now a true member of the Barf Brigade.

Look out below Aurelio and Andrea!

Gerard after you heave your eyes catch the that attic is filled with crates, firewood, furniture, and other clutter. At the far end of the
room stands a strange statue cobbled together from a large collection of gold coins, jewelry, gemstones, and art, using a suit of Hellknight armor as a base. There appears to be a crumbled from laying near the statue.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 {ooc]To avoid...unpleasantness from above.[/b]

Ah, the city life. Beautiful women, he winks at Andrea as he says this well-mannered companions and pleasant surroundings. What more could I ask for?

Aurelio will volunteer to be the last up so he can stabilize the rope and watch for anyone trying to sneak up on them.

As Gerard pushes the ceiling door open Andrea's invisibility purge begins to spread. To Gerard's eyes the spell has yet to reveal anyone.

I've a 3D imagine of how the spell works in my head. currently Andrea in one floor below, but when Gerard opens the door the spell spreads a bit, but it is still partially blocked by the fllor/ceiling and the closet walls. So in essence it's partially contained at this time.

You get yourself together Gerard? I got some of Fiosa's candy in my rations to help your breath.

Wiping on his sleeve and bringing himself up and through. Smells like death...

Perception: 1d20 + 16 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 16 + 4 = 36

Gerard climbs up through the opening. It looks like death too. There is body crumpled ont he floor near the statue. The body appears to be the source of the odor. From your vantage point it looks like something is sticking out of the corpses neck.

Do you have know religion Gerard? if so roll.

What si everyone else doing? Who is next? Andrea?

Andrea climbs up next. Using above climb roll.

Ah the sweet sent of rot. Andrea says rather sarcastically. No body let themselves get separated, we have an undead who can pass through walls

Local & Planes only, sir.

Everyone climbing up needs a fort save due to the rotting stench. fort DC 18

Andrea's head pops up through the opening like gopher when the stench hits her.

Anyone coming up can make know religion when they pop up.

Andrea's spell purges the ghosts invisibility that she has going, but the ghost is ready with a spell trying to catch as many as she could.

There is column of hellfire that strikes Gerard, Andrea and Aurelio at the bottom of the opening in a 10 ft radius burst.

hellfire: 11d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 5, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5, 4, 4, 1) = 40
Reflex Save is 19 for half damage

The ghost is now visible.

Current Map

*Aurelio is underneath Andrea lifting her up.

Fort: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Know-Religon: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

Yarf...

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

Andrea yaks just as the hellfire rains down on her location. Being the heroes is tough at times.

Gerard can probably be assumed to just casually dance away from the flames as rogues usually do.

Gerard tries to dodge the hellfire, raising his open empty hands. Wait, we can help you...

The Reflex, evasion: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29

Oh yes, this will go swimmingly. Talk to the crazy ghost lady

That's it, as soon as we're out of here I'm going to a healer, then to bed. This is way too much trouble for a single night.

Dear, dear Mistress, I believe I smell sulfur.

That is my wig. Emira is makign a pretty penny off of me.

Is it justice? Revenge? Against whom?

I have to say everyone's thoughts were humorous.

"Revenge against the unholy."

RD 1:

Gerard
Aurelio
Orsin
Andrea
Pehm
Verienes

I can exact it! Unholy... so many in the city, a name?

Oh boy here we go! Gerard's perspective is messed up, WE are the unholy.

Everyone gets an action before the ghost. go ahead and take it, she is not negotiating.

Ghost is going to attack!

Andrea flings a Silence 15' at C-19, draping the area in quiet. She then drops down out of the hole.

Aurelio! Get up there and help Gerard, stand on my shoulders if need be.

Oh yes! mount me my stallion!

Probably a good thing Aurelio can't read minds.

After the flame blast I'm at 48/119 HP.

Aurelio will grimace and start trying the climb up into the room.

Heal me if you get a chance, this damn ghost is taking it out of me.

Climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

You remember that you made the saving throw for half-damage?

Andrea flings her spell and drops through the ceiling hatch. The stallion mounts her shoulders poking his up through the opening like a gopher.

So Orsin is downstairs then?

You remember that you made the saving throw for half-damage?

I do!

Orsin is in the hallway outside the door I believe.

Euphemia trails behind Aurelio, trying to follow after.

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Climb.

Ow! Your foot is in my eye!

Gerard are you doing any action in RD 1 before the ghost goes? The others are scrambling to get up into the attic.

Stab eeettt!

Slice & Dice, coming up... Horrendous week, apologies.

atk1, dist dagger +2, wf: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 2 + 1 = 33
dmg1, dist dagger +2: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

atk2, dist dagger +2, wf: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 21
dmg2, dist dagger +2: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

One of the blades does minimal damage.

The ghost flies forward reaching to harvest the rogue's soul with her,

corrupting touch attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15;damage: 12d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 1, 6, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1) = 36

Her attack misses.

I'm going to assume Orsin has now climbed up into the attic. So inside the attic is Gerard, Aurelio and Orsin. there is a silence spell from Andrea in place. Andrea and Pehm are in various states of trying to lift/climb.

RD 2:

Gerard
Aurelio
Orsin
Andrea
Pehm
Verienes

RD 2 Map

Just imagine Euphemia standing on Andrea's shoulder's while Andrea's wig has yet again fallen/been pushed over her eyes. :)

Of course Andrea is entranced with the sight of Phem squatting on her shoulders.

Such nice thighs!

Hoping Gerard can make a step or tumble to C17 or C18 for flank.

Aurelio, tired of dealing with this ghost, steps forward after it attacks Gerard. 5 foot step to E16

Attack (Shield): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (6) + 26 = 32 Assuming Inspire Courage is still going?
Attack (Kukri): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28
Attack (Shield): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37
Attack (Kukri): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31
Attack (Shield): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17
Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Damage: 2d6 + 24 ⇒ (5, 1) + 24 = 30
Damage: 1d4 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21
Damage: 2d6 + 24 ⇒ (1, 5) + 24 = 30
Damage: 1d4 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19
Damage: 2d6 + 24 ⇒ (1, 3) + 24 = 28
Damage: 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

I believe total damage is 56 after reduction.

Gerard takes 5 ft step to C, 17 somewhat wedging himself between crates.[/ooc]

Orsin has is IC going.

The ghost disappears from Aurelio's brutal attack. What you know from Andrea is it's not truly destroyed though.

Area is silenced so no courage.

Once the ghost's form is shredded from Aurelio's attack, Andrea drops the silence

The ghost is gone for now, but it will return in a few days. We need to discover how to banish her for good. Let us examine the body here

Andrea also channels to heal everyone

Channel heal: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 6, 2, 2, 4, 4, 5) = 29

I take it burning the house to the ground and spitting on the ashes wouldn't bring it peace then?

Aurelio rotates his shoulder and nods in appreciation of Andrea's healing, feeling better but by no means whole

Well lets get this over with. The sooner we're done the sooner I can go spend some time in the temple of Calistria.

He hunches over the corpse and looks more closely at their surroundings.
