Take 10 on Knowledge Religion for 18 to identify the skeletons

P... Positive energy is an excellent way to have attacked. Sharae and Ayla... I.. I think you are the ones who have a connection to the divine which is anathema to both jujus and skeletons which are both evil...

Anody stammers into a Naturalist Performance.

The archivist and any allies within 30 feet gain a +1 insight bonus to AC and on attack rolls and saving throws against extraordinary, supernatural, and spell-like abilities used by creatures of that specific kind of monster

QUESTION for you chillblame. Since Anody has IDed the Juju and can easily identify the skeletons is it possible for the Performance to apply to both the skeleton enemies and the Juju or just the Juju? If I can do both then that's great. Otherwise the AC and attack and save bonus will apply just to the Juju.

Alya continues the attack with her Nodachi.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

anody@ By my reading of it, you can apply it to multiple creatures as long as you take a standard action to cover each beastie, and your total rounds per day are not exceeded.
Ayla@ could you state your target. At the moment you can strike a skeleton, and the boss zombie, both with different AC's.

Skeleton

Cool

I believe it's the skeletons turn right?

Yup
You! Ignore the pet and ssstrike the ssstunted one

One of the skeletons on Creik leaves him to attack anody
aoo for creik if he has a melee weapon handy, which I think he does not

On creik
claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

On anody
claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

1 to 50 sharee, 51 to 100 Ayla
1d100 ⇒ 99 ayla it is

claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Creik doges much of the sinisters skeletons attack, but is struck by a blow

damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Ayla avoids all the attacks from the skeleton on her, adroitly dodging or parrying as needed.

Anody is stuck by the skeleton that left creik to attack him.

damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The skeleton on Valia goes all out to end him.

claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

but to no avail

creik falls over?

Ayla's attack misses the skeleton as it steps to dodge.

Round two

The Boss Zombie shreiks its victory cry

YES! SO SHALL THEY ALL FALL!

Then his eyes focus on Sharee.

Follower of an evil Spirit, I shall destroy you next!

He steps forward to strike a sharee, striking past his follower and anody

effect of this is to give sharee cover, -4 to his attack

blade of doom: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 4 = 11

The humming blade swings past Sharee, but she avoids the blow.

Ayla 3

Stumbling backwards as the buzzing sword passes inches above her head, Sharae once more pleads Desna to guide the undead on a journey through Pharasma's boneyard and onwards, "Song of Spheres, show them peace..."

Sharae, Channel Positive Energy (catching as many undead in the radius as possible): 1d6 ⇒ 3, Will Save DC13 for half damage (1)

Who is down, who is up?
When this guy in the back is down, can you guys pull back a bit?

Anody's hurt but not down. Can't see map from where I am. Would be willing to do a full withdraw but where? We really need to get the juju

anody has the boss zombie and a skeleton adjacent to his front. He could withdraw directly away safely, but this could open up a flank on sharee. I think creik is down, but I'm waiting for him to confirm. Don't think he's dead, just out.

Valia takes a powerful swing, and turns hoping to be balanced and set for a killing strike next turn.atk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
dmg: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Right, well, my rolls are terrible. Just saying, I couldnt get to you guys right away, where I am.

However, I could help cover a bit of retreat, and be within easier reach, if the party can make it back a ways.

will boss: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

will skelly 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
will skelly 3: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
will skelly 4: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Another pulse of life giving energy ripples out as desna grants her priestess desire. The zombie boss and two nearest skeletons take minor damage, but the one standing over creik crumbles to dust.

The boss zombie screams in rage
Evil one. Spirits of wind and sun aid me to destroy them

Anody stumbles back from the blow and takes out an acid flask from his backpack. Acid... acid might work he mutters and flings it aiming for the juju and hoping the splash will harm the skeletons and not his friends.

Throw Acid: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d6 ⇒ 4

Criek cowers before the onslaught of the skeleton, three of its talons glancing off his force shield or missing as he jerks out of the way, before the fourth tears into him, dropping the ratfolk limply to the ground, where he lies bleeding.

stabilize?: 1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 1 - 3 = 6

Dying, -4 hp.
The fact that full attack involved 4 arms per skelly. That's what I failed to consider.

Ayla to act.

Alya continues the attack on the skeleton.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15

what are the rules to untrained heal check and help criek stabilize?

Ayla cuts the skeleton down with a decisive blow.

heal skill can be used untrained, as per CRB. To stabilize a character is a DC15 roll. If you have no skill, just use your WIS bonus. Note that any healing magic will also stabilize automatically.
Round 3 coming up. Will our intrepid heroes survive. Stay tuned in a couple of hours.

round 3
The boss zombie swings at Sharee, malicious intent in its eyes.

chain sword of doom: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

damage: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 4, 6) + 6 = 22

With a scream of vicious triumph, and an even more vicious slice, the zombie cuts sharee down into unconsciousness.

Significant ouch

Oh, Sharee please make a stabilization roll

Sharae, Stabilisation Check: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (5) - 4 = 1, failed

Falling deeper into unconsciousness....

Valia and anody, your up

stabilize : 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 1 - 4 = 13 ->still down, but stable at -4

Since it seems I can't be helpful.

attk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 Valia continues to dance around the fourarms

Anody takes a five foot step back and casts Daze on the juju.

anody, daze will not effect the juju zombie, as it is undead. Check undead traits. With your roll before you are aware of this. I'll let you change your action if you like.

Anody shoots the juju with his crossbow crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 111d6 ⇒ 3

The skeleton on Anody ignores the crossbow bolt the shoots over it's shoulder, moving in to destroy it's foe.

claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Despite his evading, two blows strike the valiant scholar. The pounding is severe, but he stands, though nearly out.

damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The skeleton attacking valia keeps up the attack

claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

But fails to score.

Ayla is up. Can she take down the rampaging zombie.

Alya the attacks the big cheese.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25 crit
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

crit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19 confirmed?
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Ayla steps forward, and with a decisive chop rips her blade in a long cut. The monster pauses. The remaining skeletons freeze. The boss zombie speaks quietly.

ssso. The cycle continuesss again, ssstill trapped, sssuffering. When oh ssspirits of sssun and air, when will we go home.

He looks at you all.

you think you have won. You have not. We ssshall return. The cycle is unbroken.

Then with sigh, he collapses to the ground, rapidly turning to dust. The skeletons eyes wink out, and they too collapse into dust.

Victory! And well earned

Anody falls to his knees besides Sharae Should have killed it first.... I know I said we should have killed it firs... where's Criek? Oh dear I don't have any healing supplies. Oh dear Nivi, why did I not think of healing supplies. Does anyone have a potion, a wand... anything? Oh please say that we have something.

Untrained heal check on Sharae: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Anody digs through Sharae's belongings for any sort of healing potion.

how many hp do you have, anody? My calc, based on your stat line is 0. In that case you are staggered and then keel over.

True, let's say Anody does what he just did and then falls over

Sharae’s embroidered rucksack, now drenched in warm blood, contains numerous trinkets but no obvious potions or wands. Anody’s attempt to close the wound, briefly before he collapses next to her, is doomed to failure as the colour starts to drain from her face and her breathing becomes shallow.

Sharae, Stabilisation Check: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (7) - 5 = 2, failed – Sharae now at -6HP

Actions?

Ayla uses her cure light wounds spells to to heal folks

If no-one minds, I'll add the necessary details to Ayla's post so it actually resolves where we are in terms of party health.

Seeing the life slipping from the Desnan, Ayla beseeches Kurgess for vitality and strength to be given to the dying cleric - her prayers are answered with a mighty wave of positive energy spearing down from the heavens into Sharae's limp body.

Ayla, Cure Light Wounds on Sharae: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9, healing 9HP and bringing Sharae back to 3/18HP and Conscious

Sharae's eyes flick open - colour slowly restored in her face - and her eyes focus on first Ayla standing above her - Sharae manages a weak smile of acknowledgement before, looking to her side she sees Anody bloody and unconscious and, beyond the gnome, Criek lying perfectly still.

Instinctively she kneels and, focussing on the butterfly still clasped on her hands, she begs for Desna's guidance.

Sharae, Channel Energy Twice - healing anyone within a 30ft radius for 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

After the divine energy washes over her and her injured friends, she sits alone on the ridge next to Ardash's body, lost in her thoughts and brooding.

Criek gasps and sits up, looking around wild-eyed at the aftermath of the battle.

Valia offers to aid in the healing, and comes a running as fast as his elfen feet can carry him. aid heal: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20

words cannot capture how angry I am right now. a freakin 20.

i feel your pain, valia. Thanks sharee for updated the healing process. I was going to do this but i was working at the time. More shortly. I assume a return to town to rest up?

I don’t think we need to head back to town? If we are resting then we could rest in the cave we found earlier – or, if people are game for it – we just move on

A single tear drops from Sharae’s eye as she contemplates Ardash’s ruined body… Oh Ardash, I’m sorry that I couldn’t save you…wherever your soul has gone, I pray that it is free and at peace… Closing her fallen comrade’s sightless eyes, she whispers a prayer to Desna – beseeching her goddess to guide her friend through Pharasma’s domain to a better journey.

Moving out of sight of the rest of her companions, Sharae undresses from her wrecked cloak and tunic and, after washing the dried blood from around her healed wound with the last remnants of her water, she finds what she needs from her travelling sack…

Reappearing at the top of ridge, Sharae cuts an imposing presence – her white cloak has been replaced by a midnight black scarf tied around her neck and her sleeveless tunic and trousers, loose fitting for ease of movement, are of the deepest blue – tattoos of starbursts in representations of the constellations run up both of her arms. The most striking change though is the black and silver butterfly painted across her face…

When she talks, the soft lilting voice has been replaced with one of steely determination.

”First we bury Ardash”

Anody, who had just been knocked out and had not begun dying, gasps as Sharae's divine power brings him back to consciousness and health. After he is certain that his wounds have knitted back together he sits up and looks around. He is glad to see Sharae standing over him and Criek struggle to his feet as well.

Ardash...? Anody crawls over to their stoic companion who has been torn in two by the enraged undead monster.

He.. was.. mechanical... I had no idea. I thought he was an Aasimar. Anody sits next to the body for a long while.

Sharae jolts him out of his impromptu vigil next to Ardash's body.

Yes... yes of course. We bury Ardash first
