Crypt of the Everflame (Inactive)

Game Master Stetrix

I cover my mouth and nose with a scarf and do the same for Fahari

The entrance is quiet. Just two dead men and some broken bones. The party prepares for a Smokey room

How many of the dead we've seen been young folk?

1 in the room with the beetle the other two were adults. With Rolande 2/6 youth accounted for

Sorry Roldare

I'll hang back out of the smoky room, peeking around the corner, until the situation demands that I save the day. Where was the brandy again?

Smek, go keep an eye on Roldare. If something comes after him, well, I'll sense the resulting emotions.

Smek Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

Sekkim, You sense he can't get in the room - Roldare bolted it shut when you left. But you can still hear him softly sobbing.

Let me head up this team right now. My armor is quite good, and considering what we've battled so far, I have a feeling we're still in danger.

Covering my mouth with my sleeve, my bastard sword at the ready, I move toward the front of the group.

I will dampen and wrap a cloth around my face as we did at blakross.
Whispering to the group.. Skirt the edges and move forward...

Anaba moves in front of Fernleaf and stands at the entrance looking through the smoke with watery eyes.
Anaba Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

GM Stuff: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Rolande moves behind Sekkim in the hall, but can't see into the room around the corner.

The group moves slowly into the room. Rolande moves in front of Sekkim and around the corner.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 4 = 241d6 ⇒ 3
Something reached out of the smoke and hits Anaba. She takes no physical injuries, but take 3 points of strength damage.

You now see a vaguely humanoid outline floating next to Anaba in the smoke.

Anaba Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Buchart Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Cela and Fahari Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Fernleaf Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Rolande Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Sekkim Initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Creature in the smoke Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Initiative!
Sekkim
Creature in the smoke
Anaba -3 Strength Damage
Cela
Fernleaf
Rolande
Buchart

Anaba now +6 to hit +5 damage from the strength drain

Ahhh ghost! thunderfist: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (7) - 2 = 51d4 ⇒ 3

Sekkim's casts a fist, but it misses.

The creature continues to assult Anaba.
Incorporeal touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 201d6 ⇒ 2

Anaba takes 2 more points of Strength damage!

Party up!!
Anaba -5 Strength Damage (now +5 to hit and +4 damage)
Cela
Fernleaf
Rolande
Buchart
Sekkim
Creature in the smoke

Casting Disrupt Undead.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 141d6 ⇒ 1

Such dice!

You coward! Attack me without allowing reprisal? You shall fall, and I will laugh! Cela, can you use my wand to offer me some healing?

Screaming wildly, I swing my sword at the form in the mist. I have +1 as my special abilities in bravery. Can I use that in some form during this attack? I also have +3 in Intimidate and +4 in Survival. How do those factor in?

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

curelightwounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Fahari attacks

Claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 claw1damgae: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 claw2damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 bitedamage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Not sure that CLW will work on strength damage but trying anyway

Crap! Only weapons of +1 or better can hit this beasty, we are screwed!

Masterwork weapons should work..

If weapons don't work, can we force it into the fire somehow?

My gun is masterwork, will it hit at half damage Pablo?

After this I am going to be memorizing Shield instead of Enlarge Person!

reroll
claw2damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Anaba feeling quite a bit weaker misses. Fhari hits with a non-magical claw.

Cela has no room to get to Anaba, but Anaba has no wounds to heal anyway.

KN religion to determine what this is.

Pablo, check my last post please. ^^^^^

Sekkim will fire hurt this beast?

I adjust my position slightly and do flank attack:

Short Sword: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 23
Short sword damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Confirm Crit: Short Sword: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 21 for X2 damage

Damage total: 3 (raw roll)+ 1 Dirty Fighter X 2 (Crit)= 8 [ooc]This may be wrong. But flanking and helping/dirty fighter should bump up rolls and Crit is 2X damage[ooc]

Short Sword: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 17
Short sword damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

[ooc]Flanking +2, Dirty Fighter +1. I do not have a nice comfy copy/past for flanking and not sure how damage is affected. Please check all this![ooc]

Cela might know, it's a religious issue. undead are knowledge : religion, which I haven't taken yet.

Pablo, check my last post please. ^^^^^

I did "KN religion to determine what this is." You know nothing about this creature. If you want info need to make a KN Religion check to even know what it is. If you roll high you can determine extra items like defenses, weaknesses or special attacks.

I thought Sekkim had KN Religion...he doesn't so you all will just have to go for it...until next level at least. With that said this is a 1st level module and having a creature that can't be hit would be rough.

If you don't know, see if it can be hit by normal weapons. Try to attack.

Fernleaf stabs the shadowy creature in the back! roll 1d4 more and 1d6 since you are flanking

Buchart misses his ranged touch spell.

Rolande
Sekkim
Creature in the smoke -8 (-1d4 -1d6 more from Fernleaf)
Anaba -5 Strength Damage (now +5 to hit and +4 damage)
Cela and Fahari
Fernleaf
Buchart

Additional rolls per Pable:

Additional damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Additional damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Definitely not a Ghost 7th level (CR7) would kill all of you!
Rolande is up!!
Sekkim
Creature in the smoke -14
Anaba -5 Strength Damage (now +5 to hit and +4 damage)
Cela and Fahari
Fernleaf
Buchart

I only have Knowledge Nature...

Firing ranged, two-handed
Pistol: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

this dice algorithm sucks ass!

It could be the person rolling :)

Sekkim you are up!

thunderfist, if not out of thunderfist: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 41d4 ⇒ 2

Afterwards, move action. Go straight east as far as I can without provoking an AoO.

I don't see my tile. Where am I? How did I get here? This is not my beautiful house. This not my beautiful wife.

I only have Knowledge Nature...

You are a useless Druid!! OMG!!! LOL!!

Sekkim tries another magical fist and it flys wide.

Buchart you are 5' away from the monster in the hall. moved you on top of the smoke - so easier to see. Where is that large automobile? Sekkim do you want to stand right next to it?

GM Stuff Who wants some?: 1d3 ⇒ 1

The creature continues to try and feed on Anaba's Strength
Incorporeal Touch (ignores armor): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 181d6 ⇒ 6
and hits damaging 6 more points of strength! That sword and armor feels awfully heavy

Anaba -11 Strength Damage (7/18 Str now +2 to hit and +1 damage)
Cela and Fahari
Fernleaf
Buchart
Rolande
Sekkim
Creature in the smoke -14

yes, that's right. I have less need of strength than pretty much anyone else, and next round I will 5 foot step to give Kitty flanking.

If I were as ugly as you, beastie, i'd spend all my time in smoke filled rooms as well!

Can't someone help me? I am feeling so WEAK! Monster, I will not give up until you are slain! CURSE YOU!

With all my strength, I wield my sword and strike at the specter.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 41d10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

THESE DICE SUCK!!!

After striking, I reluctantly step back away from the specter as far as I can, my strength flagging.

I think it's a gubberment plot to drive us all loco! This algorythm was paid for with pentagon funds, I betcha! And so was this nastie!

Don't Insult the Alligator till after you cross the river.

Letting the water hold me down...

Fahari attack

Claw 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 claw1damgae: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Claw 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 claw2damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 bitedamage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

my attack is
Spear: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Spear damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
