Crypt of the Everflame (Inactive)

Game Master fine_young_misanthrope

Zhoron double moves.

I might be a bit early...but don't want to slow things down...

Rallas moves into the room.

Gorwyn and Conflaviel both double-move into the room.

Does Gorwyn know anything about this creature? (In particular, I'm afraid we may be screwed and not able to affect it at all, if we don't have any magic wepons!)

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

(If I've picked the wrong Knowledge skill, Gorwyn also has Arcana, Geography, and Planes with the same bonus.)

You know that indeed this thing can only be hurt by magic weapons and magic itself. It is an incoporial undead.

Magic and magic weapons like the dagger in the braizer are the only way to harm it.

You also kno that it can make spawn.

Zhoron init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 move
Shadow Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 attack
Rallas init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 move
Sarephta init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Maldrek init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Gorwyn init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 waiting to move

Gorwyn will warn the others about the nature of this beast.

"Conflaviel! Get the dagger out of the brazier!"

Conflaviel (who has Resist Fire 5) will reach into the brazier and grab the dagger. He'll then hand it to Serapheta (for the eidolon is not proficient with daggers...).

Gorwyn will speak the words of a cantrip, hoping to damage the creature.

Gorwyn Casts Acid Splash
Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Acid Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

I can edit the map from this computer, please move me until I have line of sight

Maldreks moves toward the shadow the least posible, unseathing his wand and start casting a magic missiles to the creature.

magic missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Sarephta gasps audibly as the creature saps her strength. She steps back a few paces and opens a celestial conduit to strike the creature with holy energy.

channel: 1d6 ⇒ 3 Channel after taking a 5' step back.

The Shadow is splashed with acid and smashed with bolts of force. It then tries to wistand the brunt of Sarephta's holy light
shadow will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

I've moved the people around the map. No attacks of opportunities as I was slow on moving stuff
The shadow takes thfr full brunt of the attack as more3 and more of its shadow self leaves the body.
ROUND 2, FIGHT!

Zhoron init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Shadow Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Rallas init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Sarephta init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Maldrek init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Gorwyn init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

I think the only one up before the shadow goes again is Zhoron...

Sarephta you have the dagger, sorry I wasn't clear on that.
Also, Zhoron delayed, so here goes the Shadow.

The Shadow "stares" at the two new creatures that are surround it in the very smokey room. It then tries to touch the creature that reached into the fire.

touch attack on Conflaviel : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
str damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Shadow Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 Reaches out for Conflaviel
Zhoron init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Rallas init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Sarephta init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Maldrek init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Gorwyn init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Foul shadow creature! May your knees buckle as you yield to the will of my patron."

Zhoron raises a finger and chants a few words under his breath. His eyes glows with an evil red light for a split second.

Evil Eye hex. -2 Attack. DC:15 Will fail=7 rounds, success=1 round.

Zhoron chuckles as the hex takes hold.

Cackle. +1 round to hex.

Sarephta keeps the divine conduit open, brilliant light emanating from her face and striking the shadow full-on.

"Go back from whence you came!" she exclaims.

channel: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Maldrek continue aiming magic missiles to the creature

magic missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Conflaviel is able, just barely, to dodge out of the way of the touch of the shadow. The eidolon moves away, hoping to draw the shadow away from Gorwyn.

Conflaviel takes the Withdraw action.

Gorwyn, meanwhile, tries to maintain his concentration (cast defensively) while avoiding opening himself up to an attack from the incorporeal creature....

Concentration: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

He is succesful, and launches another acid splash at the shadow.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Damage if hits: 1d3 ⇒ 1

blast it....my weapons are ineffectual....

going full defense..just in case...

Rallas! There´s holy water in my backpack, pick it! Shouts Maldrek

I'm on it....

Rallas moves to Maldrek's backpack to retrieve a vial of holy water

I'm hoping we finished it off...

The shade attempts to shack of the cackling witches hex
Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
at the same time as it attempts to survive the searing light
Channel Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 I'll adjust as necessary based on the above will save

As Maldrek's missiles smash into it along side the gout of acid.

Between the blasts and magic, the creatures shadow form finally dissolves into the choking smoke in the air. The only thing you hear is the crackling of the fire in the room.

At least. I thought that shadow will last forever

Maldrek cast detect magic to see if there´s anything interesting in the room.

good job....that was unexpected....

Rallas then goes around the room, searching for any clue as to where the missing woman might be.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

"That could have been much worse," Sarephta says as the shadow dissipates into nothing.

After the group searches the room, she says "Let's keep going..."

On to the next room! I'm not seeing a map, but just whichever door we come to next!

You carefully search the room, but you don't see anything besides the smoldering remains in the fire. After the search, Sarephta mobilizes the group and you head to the left.

You take some stairs down for a light, then immediately take another flight of stairs up a flight, ending in a large room. One half of this lo!y chamber has a lowered floor, with stairs on either side to reach the bottom. Standing opposite the door is a tall wooden statue of Kassen grasping a gigantic wooden shield in each hand. One of the shields is inscribed with the word “home,” while the other reads “family.”

Current Map

Gorwyn says, "Somebody should take this magic dagger. If nobody else wants it, I will take it, but I am probably not the best one to wield it."

(He refers to the dagger that Conflaviel took out of the coals.)

Not for my thanks, I have my own but haven´t used it in a living creature never. Maybe you´ll want it Rallas?, in case we find another of those shadows

As he talks, Maldrek is searching the room and the doors, looking for traps or another dangers. Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

I will use it as best I can......but I do hope thrre are no more shadows....

The next room is quite. Nothing appears out of place with the rooms features dominated by the statue carrying the shields.

"I guess we should go to the next room," Sarephta says, though she has paused to search for anything magical in the room.

detect magic on the room

This room and the next have no magic in them besides what you're carrying.

Rallas moves to the northern door and checks for sounds beyond it.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Las combat was hard, I´ll better be more prepared Thinks Maldrek as he casts Heighten awareness on him.

Are we ready to continue our journey?

At the north door, you don't hear anything.

Rallas signals to the rest that he is opening the door, his shiny new dagger at the ready. After they acknowledge their readiness, he opens the door.

I´m on your back, Rallas Whispers Maldrek with his own dagger at hand.

You open the door and see a long corridor flanked by a row of human statues, set into alcoves on each side. The statues look like Kassen, and each one holds a longsword out in front of it. The blades of roughly half the statues are wrapped in leather padding.

New Map

That is odd that the swords would be wrapped, don't you think? We ehould be vigilant....I think something here is....odd.

Rallas moves into the room.

will move when back at computer...

Let´s see in there´s magic in them once we had finished checking for traps

Maldrek first will look in there is any trap in the room, then he proceds to cast detect magic

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Maldrek sees a not so obvious trap in the center of the room. It's a simple pressure plate.

Gorwyn grunts. "Rallas, are you able to safely disable that trap?"

Stand back a few feet and I will try...

Rallas moves to the traps and sets about disabling it.

disable device: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Rallas give it a decent try. You all hear a SPRONG from under the pressure plate. The plate is still active, but Rallas isn't hit with any clubes as the statues don't swing their covered swords.

"Good job, Rallas," Sarephta says as she Braves the disarmed trap and continues down the hallway.

Gorwyn puts a hand out to stop Sarephta's movement. "I don't think he disabled it; it sounds like he may have nearly set it off. Rallas? Is it safe?"

Stay back...I am unsure if it is disabled. Let me check again.

Rallas checks his handiwork on the trap.

disable: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

So, we can or we can´t cross?

From your first check, you think you didn't disable the trap. It's active, and will only trigger when the tile is pushed, but otherwise it's not safe.

Sorry, misread the disarming of the trap thing.

"I think we either need to jump over the pressure plate, or perhaps find something heavy from a previous room to put on the plate and set it off."

We had bypassed a few corpses in previous rooms...I guess we could toss some skeletal remains on the plate to get it to activate, then move passed? In the alternative, I think we need to do running jumps through here.

I´m ok with dragging here something heavy. It could be the dead bodies or the dead horse if carrying human bodies is unpleasent to you. Says Maldrek agreeing with the plan
