Churdon moves up to attack the ghost.

Magic Longsword: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 1 = 23
Critical Confirmation: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 1 = 18

If not Critical
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

If Critical
Damage: 2d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4, 5) + 1 + 1 = 11

Churdon's magical blade is able to make contact, dealing it a wound.

However, it doesn't appear that the solid strike caused any additional damage.

Maybe take a look at this:

thread and decide if the group should flee or not.

Stevesie screams in terror,"Get out of here you fools. We can't kill it. Run away!"

Stevesie runs out of the room to the East, and all the way down to room seven (magnet room). He will trigger the AoO to run away.

I don't think we should leave. I can cast magic fang on Bort to give one of his attacks magic attack type and Churdon's blade lasts for one minute so we should have enough damage to kill it.

Churdon was 15, and Stevesie runs out on 8. What does Ulfgar do?

Stevesie Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Ulfgar Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Kalani Initiative: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18
Churdon Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
DM Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Ulfgar shakes Bort to wake him up.

Bort can't engage the creature in melee unless someone moves out of the way. Next turn I can cast magic fang on him because waking up an ally is a standard action

The Allip retaliates against Churdon:

touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
wis damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

The rest of the party is up.

Kalani is sick and tired of the creature continually trying to touch us, and attempts to touch the creature back with Cure Light Wounds:

Cure Light Wounds Touch Attack: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14
Wand of Cure Light Wounds Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Wisdom Save for half: DC 15

Stevesie slowly creeps back to the room and stands just outside, next to the door. His hand is on the door handle, ready to close the door at a moments notice but continues to watch his friends in foolish confusion as they attempt to fight the Allip.

Why is there a wis save for half? It does take damage at half because all magical effects only do 50% damage if you're not incorporeal, but why the save?

Cure Light Wounds

It says Will for half? Idk.

Ok. It was in the spell. I was surprised because most touch spells don't have that.

will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Ok, the Allip burns a bit as the flash of positive energy radiates out, but remains very angry.

Everyone else?

Stevesie has to sit this fight out unless anyone has a good use for him.

Stevesie is still by the door, and wonders if any of his friends will leave this room alive.

I guess since no one is saying anything that means that they want to skip their turns. Either way, if they don't post they can't correct me.

During the next round, Ulfgar commands Bort to attack the creature

handle animal: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

It's still just a non-magical attack at this point, right?

It is magical. Or if it isn't at that point then that is when I cast Magic Fang on his bite before he attacks

I think you jumped ahead a turn... this is the turn you'd have to cast it.

Then before Bort attacks Ulfgar walks next to him and casts magic fang on his bite attack.

Sadly, Bort still misses, even with magic fang up.

Churdon?

Churdon???

Churdon swings again.

Magic Longsword: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Ok, Churdon swings with his enchanted blade yet is unable to reach it in time before it moves forward and continues to press the attack, striking with a maddening coldness from beyond the grave.

allip: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
wis damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Will save needed.

The rest of the party is up.

Ulfgar casts guidance on Churdon to give him +1 on his attack rolls as Bort bites at the Allip

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Kalani curses at the creature, and tries to will it away from the rest of the group and at him.

But otherwise, does nothing.

Stevesie sits down and starts eating a sandwich. Might as well have a fully belly as I cant do anything to it.

If we're going to fast forward through the combat Ulfgar continues to cast guidance on Churdon to give him +1 attack

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Borts enchanted teeth continue to miss while the rest of the party ponders in frustration.

Waiting on Churdon before processing the next round.

Ping...

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Magic Longsword: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Although Churdon doesn't damage the Allip, the presence of the blade manages to scare it off.

End Combat.

"Whew," Kalani says with a sigh of relief. "I feel like that took forever!"

Kalani then peers around the room looking for anything out of the ordinary (or treasure).

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

"Hmm, maybe we need to be a a little more prepared for encounters like this."

Churdon looks around as well.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Stevesie finishes eating his sandwich. "Hope we had some fun out there boys. I've got some fresh legs still and am ready to continue adventuring. When we get back to town we should break the guild back for a tanglefoot bag and a wand of (ghostform? Or was it ghosttouch?). That should cover our bases."

Looks like no one has knowledge(engineering).

Stevesie takes stock of the room.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

If there is nothing to do here
"Hey guys, lets continue on in our adventure. We have to back track a little to go forwards."

[ooc]Stevesie goes to room 7 on the map and listens at that door./[ooc]
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Kalani nods in agreement. " Let's continue."

Churdon pulls his sword out.

Churdon whispers to Stevesie, "Do you hear anything?"

Returning to the room and opening the door, you find that it reveals what appears to be a large closet.

We search for any valuables in the closet or a secret door

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Stevesie deduces the dead end, "Shall we move on again?"

Stevesie leads the gang down the hallway marked with the corpse. He turns West and stops at above room one and looks around the corner north.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

I moved myself into the position described.

Churdon moves down the hallway as well.

"What do you think Stevesie? Move up ahead or swing back around to the area we haven't explored?"

Kalani moves to follow suit.

Room 3:

A large fountain dominates this small chamber. Steam rolls off the superheated water pouring from a stone obelisk at the fountain’s center, filling the entire chamber with its haze.

Kalani attempts to see if there are any dangers in the fog:

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Kalani doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Stevesie does not like the obelisk. He thinks that bad things will happen.

Stevesie says, "I'm not going in unless there are no magical properties around that obelisk."

Do we want to burn a detect magic for the obelisk?
