DMummy's Mask

Game Master Elmdorprime

Dwalindor will poke around on day three while the others wrap up their investigation.

Don't mind me guys, I am just looking for something more interesting than a bunch of dusty scrolls...
perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 on 4 way junction...

Also, is it possible to take-20 on the sarcophagi room on the way out? Dwalindor will not poke around there until the others are ready to leave.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 on on sarcophagi room while leaving...

Bah! Not bad, but still short I think...

"Do you realize how exciting this is?! A great builder from the first age of Osiron. I mean we may have the plans for the Sky Pharohs tomb! The actual map to the complex that he may have built, no wonder it was hidden! Do we have the spell to copy it?"

Perception on the way out: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

Holy heck, natural 20!"

"Errrr, hold on a moment, I think I may have missed something earlier."

Really? We let us check it out.

Whatwver we do we better hurry. Thorrpe is running low on time, as are we

Ha! Of course you guys rolled a 20.

Upon a reexamination of the sarcophagi room you notice that one of the sarcophagi has been tampered with - it appears to be the sarcophagus of a man named Khnenti - a researcher whose sarcophagus is inscribed with symbols that warn the reader of the folly of researching into the pharaoh of the sky.

A speak with the dead spell would allow you to talk with the corpse of the researcher and learn something more.

Dwalindor, meanwhile, discovers two more doors - one leading north which you are certain leads into the sarcophagi room and the other leading south which could lead into the winding library room you just abandoned.

Roll one more Perception for me Dwalindor.

Perception : 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 +2 vs stone. bah .

"You've got some keen eyes there, Tariq."

I wonder if that Sarcophagus is trapped.

Noonan, are you able to commune with the deceased? I am not.

I will have to pray for new miracles at dawn.

That door is a-okay to open Dwalindor.

A. O. K.

The sarcophagus is not trapped, however you notice it looks like someone may have tampered with it, as if it had been previously opened and resealed.

Noonan decides to examine some scrolls on the other side of the room.

Hmm..Well opening the sarcophagus might be useful so go ahead.

Dwalindor nods his head and tries to pry off the lid.

Here goes something...

So just to clarify - the sarcophagus, not the door?

If Tariq wants to inspect the sarcophagus first, Dwalindor will open the door instead.

:)

Sorry guys it kept saying server was not responding.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

"You think we should open it before you are ready with the spell?"

I ain't a good speller, so don't ask me!

Since they are about to leave for the day anyway, Noonan casts Bless(+1 hit/saves vs. fear 7 minutes) and Resist Energy-Communal(fire, 20 points) on everyone as well.

Shad casts Shadow weapon to give him self a Longbow, then Mirror Image for 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 images

Tariq sees nothing else special.

As he pries open the sarcophagus a hand shoots out to shove the lid aside, revealing what appears to be an angry mummy, ready to kill.

No, I didn't forget the will aura.

Initiative (Dwalindor): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Initiative (Noonan): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Initiative (Shad): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Initiative (Tariq): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Initiative (Monster): 1d20 ⇒ 15

Wow, you guys won by less than 1. Nice.

Map

Why are all these mummies so angry? I'd be thrilled if I could just lay around in bed all day! RARRRHHHGGG!

Dwalindor hefts Amanda and swings with fury at the mummy, not waiting for it to strike first (step to F9).

Now that is just sad. I can only hope his FF AC sux

Noonan sends out a burst of holy energy to burn the undead

Shad moves and sends a cone of flame spraying the wall and the mummy

D.C. 16

5d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 2, 3) + 2 = 13

The flames and Dwalindor's first hammer blow seem to affect the thing but Noonan's wave of positive energy has no effect at all.

Dwalindor's blow seems curiously muffled.

Oh dear.

Knowledge (Arcana) to identify!

Noonan starts Summon Monster 3 to call up another Lantern Archon1 round summon time

Dwalindor is waiting for it's counterattack...if it is going to. Otherwise he is ready to try again.

Don't forget your Bless bonus

1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18 arcana

Shad fails to identify the monster.

Oh, and waiting on Tariq to go. Sorry.

Tariq, maybe poke your swords into it like one of them panyatas or something?

"Maybe a bit of fire?"

Tariq's main blade blisters with flame and he tries to beat back the mummy.

Flaming Shamshir: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (3) = 7

"Then again, maybe not."

He brings his spiked shield into the fray.

Shield bash: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Flaming shamshir: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 2 + (3) = 13

Shield bash: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"Rats! For a dead guy he is quite agile!"

The shamshir flashes but fails to land, while the shield bash is quite simple stopped by the flimsy bandages.

Meanwhile, the mummy steps south and lunges towards Dwalindor.

Slam: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Slam: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Dwalindor feels bandages trying to strangle him.

Grab: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28
Damage (Constrict): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

You're up.

Is Dwalindor entangled or grappled or does it strangle release? Assuming he is grappled and cannot wield 2h weapon.

Dwalindor finds the grabbing bandages too close for comfort and drops Amanda to quickly draw his trusty old axe.

HHARRRR! Get away from me you flea-bitten ball of rags!

Dwarf axe, pa/FF, rage, fav,bless : 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 27 for damage: 1d10 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 + 6 + 2 = 21

Dwarf axe, pa, rage, fav,bless : 1d20 + 6 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 24 for damage: 1d10 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 + 6 + 2 = 24

Those may need to be at -2 if grappled, or +2 if flanking with Tariq.

A little ball of light appears over Noonan's head and fires off two light rays at the beast

Light Ray,Touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 191d6 ⇒ 2 Penetrates DR

Noonan moves over to Dwal and casts Cure Serious Wounds at him

CSW: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (6, 4, 6) + 7 = 23

HAH - Noonan! Yer the best, I don't care what Shad says about ya!

Back to full 84hp

We can all take the heat thanks to Noonen, but get down anyhow!

Shad sends a fireball, after moving himself back.

I don't think we have an updated map, but I am assuming I can get it to where it will only hit Dwalindor and Tariq? If so I will use one of my focus points to exclude them both

7d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 3, 4, 3, 4) + 2 = 27

DC 18

Do I need to roll that DC, don't want to hold up the game if I am.

no you do not. if you are caught in the blast i excluded you

Thinking that his shield was stopped because bashing and piercing the loose bandages is ineffective, Tariq switches to his off hand blade. In a flurry of cuts he tries to free the dwarf from the strangling appendages.

"Its trying to strangle him! What kind of mummy is this?!"

AC 21, I am not sure if I can flank right now. If I can +2 more to hit and additional damage.

Shamshir: 1d20 + 1 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 1 + 10 = 27
1d8 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (6) = 10

1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
+2 more to hit and 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 3) = 11

You are indeed grappled Dwalindor - you also cannot talk.

Shad, the room is 25 by 25. There is no way to hit it with a fireball that does not hit all of you. The map is current, the creature has a reach of 10 feet.

Nooman's lantern archons blast away but are unable to burn the creature.

Meanwhile the fire laps at the creature and weakens it enough that Tariq's shamshir cuts the bindings loose.

The creature collapses and leaves a pile of bandages on the floor - apparently animated purely by magic.

"Whew that was close! What would you have done without me?." Dwalindor huffs as he tries to recover his breath.

Once he is able to shake off fatigue he will help the others search the inside of the sarcophagus

Well we all have Resist fire 20, screw it. Tariq and dwalindor are excluded

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 made the save take no damage

Well that was exciting.

[b]Huff huff. Well what was this thing guarding?{/b]

Huff huff. Well what was this thing guarding?

"Aparently his privacy. Evidently very important to him. Ha ha."

The desert warrior claps a hand on the dwarf's shoulder.

"Well my friend, without you I believe I would be dead by now many times over. Luckily you and your people are like the pyramids, built to Weather anything the environment can muster. Which gives me time to kill whatever it is that is about to kill you."

"Though I have to admit I just about lost my s%$$ when the whole world erupted in flames. I don't believe I have ever been inside of a fireball before. Luckily I wore my brown leggings today."

Tariq says with a gleam in his eye.

"But yes, let's see what the thing was guarding, hummm?!"

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

Inside the coffin you see another mummy, adorned the way you would expect an architect to be adorned for burial.

The creature you defeated was evidently stuffed into the coffin to try and kill anyone questioning the corpse.

You also see three iron tablets laid at his feet, covered with hieroglyphics you can't immediately read.

Well we will need to talk to this corpse...but we cant't stay. I guess we have to come back somehow.

Just let me know when you want to heat things up again friend Tariq, I am happy to oblige.
