Ooo nice damage Bern. I hope 13 hits!

Did anyone note down the 87 GP we found on the man near the lake?
Zane did you take his masterwork shortsword?
There were ten blunted arrows outside, and I saw that Zane picked up the 20 that we found on the bodies inside.
Assuming I don't die... I'll pick up the two smoke sticks...
So far I've taken (written down on my char. sheet) the following:
MW short sword
Purse with 87 gp inside (we could divide this if you want, at the moment I'm keeping it like this to be returned...maybe)
20 blunted arrows
I'm not sure if we found another/additional 10 blunt arrows?
Also, I missed the fact that Undead are my favorite enemy, so I have additional +2 bonus on many checks. Not reallyimportant so far, but I'll keep that in mind in the future.
How much days did we travel 2 or 3 - how much trail rations should I delete (plus the one I've given to the wolf)?
Sorry don't know if I did something wrong, if it was something else that went wrong when I tried to move Zane.
For the sake of giving others something to do - there is a path through this room that is completely free of traps. Probing the floor before you with a spear, pole, or broomstick gives a rather hefty bonus if you come across a trap.
I already thought of the spear, pole, or broomstick, we don't have any of those, but doesn't our cleric use a glaive?
There were three broomsticks next to the door when you entered the chamber. Also, Nadab uses a longspear. And Venedictos uses a glaive. So, lots of floor-poking equipment available.
"Do you really think deadly pit traps are likely here?" Venedictos asks. "This is just a guess, but while I would say the presence of the skeletons is unusual, and not what those poor townspeople back there were expecting, retrieving this flame has been the job of ordinary citizens and village youths for decades. All that stuff back in town of preparing us for a dangerous mission was all for show. Something must have happened here, either a foul magic has penetrated the tomb animating done if it's residents, or an evil necromancer has decided to make this place his home and lair, but before that, I highly doubt there was anything dangerous here. Are those pit traps freshly made, or did the town council really send us here to get our necks broken?"
Did you mean to put that in the gameplay thread Ven?
Yep. Posting from my phone and clicked on the wrong thread.
8 on perception! its pit face time!
4! Maybe this time!! lol
the paizo dice roller has been pretty cruel to me lately :)
You guys still with me here?
I can move you all forward, though it might result in some face-planting into traps.
All of you can assume that any trap marked by a red square has been chalked by Zane or sprung. You can press yourselves against the wall and ease your way past these traps safely.
Ah a couple of more stellar rolls for Nadab!
Bern and Nadab Just checking in to see if you're still with us.
Still here, real life has been throwing me some curve balls lately and I'm probably in too many PbP games for the time I have left. If I don't have something new to contribute I've been keeping silent. I don't want to leave anyone in the lurch by just disappearing but if you want to give me the boot for a replacement I understand.
Nothing so serious as giving the boot. Figured there was the possibility that you as the fighter-type might not have much to say in calming and questioning the crazy dude. Just wanted to make sure you were still into the game, that's all.
I'm still here too. I've had a stressful month and have gotten slack at checking the boards. I'm getting back in the saddle now though. Sorry.
The first door to the east of you is unlocked and does not appear trapped.
The second door to the east of you does not even have a means of opening it available.
Oh I thought it was locked oops!
Half Orc enthusiasm!
Well I guess we're getting tpk'd by a beetle... :O
Who was carrying the healing potions again?
You and Zane. It also appears that Ven has a healing potion in his gear.
Good to know, well hopefully this thing will just die soon and I'll give a potion to Vern and you can give one to Zane.
Yes we'll probably be fine. I was just being a little overdramatic above :)

How'd you know this beetle's name - TiPiK.
One more hit and this thing goes down. All it wanted was to make a nice nest for the eggs it was about to lay. But, no, the murder hobos had to come and slice and dice it!
The dice gods really seem to have it in for us. We're either missing or doing tiny damage.
Sorry for my brief absence. Busy weekend and bad cold make for slow posting.
What did we do to anger the dice gods so badly! lol
I thought retriving my vial of holy water from my backpack took a full round, 1 action to find it in my pack and another to pull it out, or something like that, then my action in the 2nd round would be to move next to the shadow and pour the holy water on it as a ranged touch attack.
I didn't think that under normal conditions (ie no magic or specail abilities involved) that you could retrieve a stored object and use it on the same round.
I thought we are in round two now?
Right,
round one - I get out the holy water
round two - I use it
Bern, you're right.
Round 1
Move - Retrieve holy water.
Standard - Open holy water.
Round 2
Standard - Ranged touch attack.
As stated, the shadow gets two attacks of opportunity. I'll apply those now.
I thought Bern wasn't next to the shadow when he got the holy water out of his pack?
You know what - I think you're right. No matter, that AoO I posted will just apply to Bern's ranged touch attack.
Actually i think pouring holy water doesn't trigger an AoO if I read the text right, but I think moving into position to attack does trigger an AoO
Busy weekends?
No worries. Sounds like you have an exciting job!
Sorry, celebrated my eighth wedding anniversary on saturday and had an all day gaming session on sunday. Good weekend!
Unless Zane and Bern have anything else that can hurt this thing you guys should probably withdraw. I'll be with you next round!
You are close-ish. I'm not actually tracking experience, but rather going by story cues. There a few more first level encounters left. The shadow actually played out how I imagined it would - part of why I love this module so much!
Slight spoiler, but it might be helpful in granting you the courage to continue - there is an encounter coming up that will bring you all to full health and abilities. Don't let that Strength damage hold you back!
You guys still with me?
I'm here, I wonder if we're all waiting for someone else to come up with an idea.
Sorry this week has just flashed past!
I am remiss in not doing so myself - be prepared for a push.
