Classic PFS Risen from the Sands (2-4) (Inactive)

Game Master Oykiv

"YOU DIDN'T ACTUALLY PARTAKE, DID YOU!?"

Spit take of the gods!

"That is quite the overreaction I think. Wine is wine." Bjor looks at Abaal as if he was insane.

Kyshkumen lets his daggers do the talking now.

Melee vs FF: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 3 + 2d8 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (1, 2) = 7

Did you just attack the immortal pharao brides whitout a reason?
Interesting

I have a reason.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Just reminding everyone that Seoni is outside the room, glad that didn't we didn't have to fight our way through a room for once, lol.

He has a reason.

It's almost Friday. ;) While they might be cadaverous undead horrors masked under an illusion, that's not really a reason to be an ungrateful guest.

I need that reason, I feel attacked unarmed women, who have done nothing but talk with you, just in case falls in the evil category. That or pass a DC 15 will save and have the same reason than Abaal. Bjor can make the same check.

In either case, you have threaten them saying they serve to nothing to you, so no surprise attack. If you continue with the attack we will roll initiative to see who acts first

basically every rich powerful guy has a back door to their harem. Based on how unhelpful they are really being I know they will not let me properly search the room. Another reason is there being here is very unnatural and if we are to secure this place we need to clear it of all threats, even the vague ones..

Kysh will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20 Ok, now you now how unnatural they are. We go on with the attack

Kyshkumen let his dagger tell Baestetabi what he thinks about her. Namely piercing his chest and making her shout in pain.

Combat round one
All can act

Kyshkumen attacks quickly stabbing Bastetabi in her chest
Bjor
Bastetabi -7 HP
Senenetka
Zanu
Abaal
Seoni

Since it was not a surprise round I'm going to roll for my offhand attack.

Melee: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 2d8 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (2, 7) = 11

Confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Extra damage: 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

The extra +2 on the bonus damage is from the killer trait.

I fear Bjor didn't had the opportunity to get the save yet - he didn't really interact with them - though he shortly will, using his shield.

Should they not respond normaly to daggers in their chest (namely dying), I suppose that's enough to question the situation.
Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
But not enough to actually see through this.
Also: Propably a high chance of them being immune to crits btw ;)

"WHAT IN THE HEAVENS?!" Bjor shouts towards the masked man - to taken aback by his sudden attack to do anything but stare.

"They are like the mimic. They are not what they apear to be."

"While they might be undead horrors, no offense, they are still more welcoming than some of brickwork has been. Apparently, we have not yet learned our lesson about kicking landlocked boats full of beetles before checking to see if we have enough alchemist's fire. Hmm. I'll have to work on that one."

Bjor, you, Seoni and Abaal had your opportunity when you talked with them. You can check the GM rolls in my post ->Sun, Sep 27, 2015, 09:23 am

The first dagger stabs Bastebi in her chest, but is quickly followed by a second one directed to the throat. Bastebi falls dead to the ground, covered in her own blood.

Senetka charges toward Kysh angered, passing near the staring Bjor and thus provocking an AoO. Her arms hits Kysh not doing anything against the armored slayer.

[spoiler=Senetka attack]Senetka attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4[/ooc]

Combat round one
Bold can act

Kyshkumen attacks quickly dispatching Bastetabi
Bjor satres and delays I suppose
Senenetka
Zanu
Abaal
Seoni

After bold had acted, Kysk will act again at the bigining of turn two. So feel free to post

"Kyshkumen, what?" Seoni is quite confused by the events. Is someone hallucinating? Is there a compulsion in the room?

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Seoni will cast Detect Magic and start looking for magic anomalies.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

I will use an arcana pool to make my warhammer magical and swing at the monster after moving to it hit: 5 + 1d20 ⇒ 5 + (15) = 20
dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Seoni don´t feels anything affecting Kyshkumen, it looks it´s doing this with is free will. Also she sees magic auras whateverr she´s looking at. 1st round only presence/absence. 2nd whats the most powerfull aura, 3rd cyou could make an K.arcana check to know school. Spellcraft only helps with magic items and spells as they´re being cast

Zanu attacks the woman not sure why you had called her monster. His hammer impacts her crushinf flesh and bones.

Combat round one
Bold can act

Kyshkumen attacks quickly dispatching Bastetabi
Bjor stares and delays I suppose
Senenetka -5 HP attacked Kyshkumen but had not hurted him
Zanu crush Sanekta bones
Abaal
Seoni looks for abnormalities

No attack of opportunity from Bjor - he is too flabbergasted ;)
Pretty much doing nothing in the first turn.

If only to end this.

falchion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (3, 2) + 7 = 12

Abaal slashes Senenetka making her cry in pain Intruders! We offered our wine and you answer this way. I kill you ALL!

Combat round two
Bold can act

Kyshkumen
Bjor
Senenetka -17 HP
Zanu
Abaal
Seoni

Kyshkumen takes a small step to work with the advantage Abaal gave him, slashing with his daggers.

MH: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 3 + 2d8 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (2, 6) = 12

OH: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11

And with a last slash, Kysh puts and end to Senenetka eternal live.

Both wear a noble’s outfit, signet ring and a variety of valuable bracelets, necklaces, and rings. Bastetabi wears a silver necklace with a blue gemstone and Senenetka carries a key.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
"That is some fine wine..." Seoni mumbles, dumbfounded as the carnage continues.

"What is going on? Did they try to eat my soul? Everything looked fine to me. Besides your unprovoked attack."

"They are just a distraction to keep us from our goal. As you can tell now they were actually undead." Kyshkumen says as he examines the walls in the area. "Now there should be a hidden door somewhere around here for 'late night visits.'"

Take 20 on perception now that any threat of interruption has been removed.

Abaal has no qualms talking about the spoilers, though he disagrees on the final resolution.
"Let's just be off."

"I have signed up for the company of madmen. They may have been undead horrors, but at least they were decent and hospitable people." Bjor says grimly, once the truth is revealed, then just walks out of the room, towards the next entrance they had not yet opened, muttering Ulfen curses along the way.

"What did I hear, Pathfinder are murder-hobos? Nah that must surely be a lie. I think that you will find this deal most ... what? why are you drawing your daggers?! Noooooo!" *splosh*

"What are you talk. Oh, gods." Seoni stands back, startled as the room's illusion fades away and she begins coughing up thousand-years old dust. "They truly were cursed, to remain here for so long. May they finally be at rest."

Seoni grabs the bottle of wine. "At least this bottle is real. Very old, by the look of it. I'll have a toast in celebration of their release."

"Apologies Senenetka. We need this key."

Without nobody to disturbs him, Kyshkumen finds a secret door that leads to a hallway. The hallway walls are completely smooth, no carvings, no frescos, nothing. And it ends into another wall. But nobody constructs a hallway thet lead nowhere so, or the wall is another illusion or there´s another secret door in it.

B oth maps changed. You have time to persuade Bjor to come back with you. Change or marching order, or whatever you want before check the hallway end

"Bjor, wait!" The sorceress runs after the Ulfen warrior. "Kyshkumen found a hidden entryway in the harem."

"I cannot condone Kyshkumen's actions." She shakes her head. "He should have asked to search the room, or perhaps we could have parleyed with them. I did invite them to leave the pyramid, and share their secrets with the world." She shakes her head. "While they were perversions of life, they were quite friendly and patient. Maybe they would have accepted their fate had we time to discuss it with them."

She hefts the bottle of wine. "Almost none of their food was real, except for this wine. Once this is over, I would like to share this bottle with you, once this is over. To me, immortality is not defined by your lifespan, but instead the gifts you leave behind."

"While you may not approve of my methods, they did yield results. I also would like to point out that I only used my method after you all had talked with and decided to walk away from the situation." The rogue cleans his blades as he goes on. "Further more while I am not by any means a good person, any paladin or good natured cleric would be patting me on the back right now." He looks at each of the party members, "So you can stow the dirty looks and judgments, the way forward has been revealed and we still have a job to finish."

Bjor halts his steps when he hears Seoni's voice. He patiently listens and then looks her deep in the eyes.
"Hmpf. Ancient wine sounds good to me. Let's just hope it didn't spoil and lives up to its age." he then follows her to the secret corridor, ignoring Kyshkumen completely.

Kyshkumen moves to the wall checking for another door or hidden traps.

Take 20 Perception: 20 + 6 = 26

Kyshkumen takes his time to check the well, finding a secret door almost identical to the one found before. Once opoened you can see the chamber.

Huge granite slabs form the peaked roof of this chamber, the walls of which are incised with thousands of tiny hieroglyphs. In the center of the chamber lies an open stone sarcophagus, its granite lid cracked and broken on the floor next to it. A beautifully decorated wooden coffin lies inside, its lid also askew. Four alabaster canopic jars stand like guardians at the foot of the sarcophagus, while various grave goods lie heaped around the walls of chamber.

In the center of the room two creatures turn their heads to toward the opening door. A a rotting feline creature with falcon head and great wings and a mummy covered in jewels and holding a scepter who talks to you.

How do you dare to stand in my presence. Prostrate yourselves before me, as I am Sekh-pa-Mefer III. Your one and only godhood for all the eternity

Map actualized

Seoni grumbles. "Those lying-" she sighs, and makes a mental note to thank Kyshkumen.

"My apologies, great Pharaoh. But it has been 7500 years since this pyramid was unearthed, and i have no recollection of your divinity." She humors the mummy by taking a knee.

"If I may ask, what are your plans now that the world may visit you?"

Seoni is making small talk, giving the others a chance to prepare themselves for the inevitable...

"Bjor Horlison, called Bloodsnout. We are here to see your wonders, as the world had forgotten them." Bjor says with a slight bow of his hat and strikes his shiled gently with his axe - a respectful greeting fitting for a king.

Kyshkumen hangs back, waiting to see how this plays out.

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Abaal makes a slight, deferential bow, but remains silent.

Obviously Bjor does not have a hat. I meant to write "bow of his head" ^^

But fezs are cool.

I SAID POSTRATE. KISS THE FLOOR AT MY FEET OR FACE THE CONSECUENCES Shouts angrily the pharaoh.

Another option will me to pick a holy symbol after holy symbol praying to different gods in different languajes to see if it helps ;D

Upon hearing the command, she stands up and dusts off her pants. ”I’m afraid I can’t do that. You hold no authority over me.”

”You have perverted your very essence to cheat death, and what have you done with your time? Cure disease? Spread the secrets of the Sphinx among your people? No. You hid here, tricked two women and your pet into rotting away with here, praying death does not catch up. How foolish."

"You haven't seen a mortal in Seventy Five Hundred years, and the first thing you do is demand loyalty. We greet you with respect, and you demand obedience. I am beginning to see why you were stuck here - you hid like a coward."

In some ways, Seoni's tired of it all. All of this wealth and power at the Pharaoh's fingertips, and the best he could do is hide and trick his followers into hiding with him. Pathetic.

Bjor looks at Seoni with a mixture of surprise and respect, a slight grin on his face.

"She speaks true. You were a mighty king once, who may have thought of him as a god. But this time is long past and your servants have crumbled to dust, your name forgotten by most - only a whisper in the wind.
I may you respect, old King, but I will not bow before you. You who is tangled in webs of arrogance and hate, you who sold his soul for dust."
Bjor bows his head once again, ready for battle.

I think a stanton would fit better to Bjor's ruggy demeanor.

Abaal stands slightly dumbfounded as everyone steals his lines, and makes a rough grunt of agreement while drawing his blade. "Uh, what they said."

An ushanka would be warmer.

Tomb robbers! I curse you all! The pharaoh shouts, All your blood will be spilled and I´ll be free again

Apparently we go in order of holiness. ;)

done, I spent my entire turn moving north, because I was so far back.

I wonder why Bjor stands so far back as well. He was doing much of the talking face-to-face with the mummy. ;)
