DMummy's Mask

Game Master Elmdorprime

15th level and we still can't make the skill rolls

Well, not to be too transparent, but this is "extra" information.

Shad mumbles something under his breath.

Well, if we do not know anything about her. Do we need to do anything, take this necklace? Was it magical? Looks expensive based upon the amount of salivation emitted by our dwarf. The aura was transmutation on the necklace and necromancy on the statue.

He shrugs and tries to ID the necklace.

kn:Arcana/Spellcraft: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (10) + 27 = 37

Or do we keep going, Tariq?

Let us not disturb the mummies in case they animate

Dwalindor waits to see if the necklace is identified.

”I just need to know if we take the jewelry or leave it. I don’t care about no mummies. They can stay here til they unravel and blow away. “

Noonan squints again.

Spellcraft on necklace: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31

It's definitely magical but the nature of the helm is muted - possibly due to the effects of the magical field of the statue. You feel like you should be able to identify the helm based on your expertise but you are unable to do so because of an external effect.

It's almost like the helm's enchantment is mysteriously incomplete.

Well, unless you brainy types have a way to get the baubles loose, I ain't gonna break her hand off to get it...not just yet. Can you spray water or dispel magic or shaper the stone or nothin?

I will need to rest and pray for the spells needed.

”How are we doing overall for spells and resting? “

between the scorpions birds and mummy fights I figure we are down about half?
We could go a bit further/one more and then come back to rest?
GM can we tell if we are in another plane or still primary?

”Rest if you must, Noonan. We can scout around first to ensure we are not interrupted. I feel there is still some puzzle or darkness with these laying in the waters. “

Sure thing

Noonan pulls a pillow out of his haversack and sleeps on the floor.

You are inside a pyramid floating near Sothis on the Prime Material Plane.

You wake up early next day, fresh-faced and ready to face the day.

However you long for a hot bath and the civilized confines of a soft bed. Hot breakfast wouldn't be amiss either.

Dwal smells his usual self

ok thanks GM - for some reason I envisioned the boat ride taking us onto another plane a la the river styx or the like.

Dwalindor yawns and scratches his beard

”So um…what’s for breakfast? “

Dried fruit and jerky

Man, that'd be b$$+%ing! But no, banishment is an option if you have it.

Noonan uses Stone Shape to open the statue's hand.

As the stone hand opens under the influence of the spell and the war crown drops to the ground - and as it does a screaming spirit boils out of the statue and opens its mouth to scream at you.

Initiative (Dwalindor): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Initiative (Tariq): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Initiative (Shad): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Initiative (Noonan): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Baddies win! I've updated the map but let me know where you want to be.

Dwalindor would be close to Noonan to support and grab the loot…I mean crown.

”Oh great, Noonan…now you woke the baby! “

Tariq, Baset and Shad will remain in the hallway…

Don't blame me, you made me do it.

”Yeah, well…that crown was too nice to just leave here. “

So coordinates you're at now are good is what you're saying?

Yep

Wait...now I am worried. :) I would like to say Dwalindor started rage at the same time as stone shape....but GM ruling.
Coords ok on map...Unless we needed to be closer for the stone shape, map is ok...Tariq would likely be further back...but whatever.

Um, so Noonan, what exactly are these?

Know-Religon: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35

Geez, my bad! I know the last few days had been hectic but didn't realize I hadn't posted, apologies. Being in rage is fine. Really fine. MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!

Dwalindor, you identify the central figure as a banshee. The others appears to be phantasms - they are all incorporeal.

The spirits surge across the water to you, but not before the banshee wails.

Roll your fortitude saves folks, DC 23! Failure means you take 140 points of damage.

The phantasms surge across the water to tear your souls apart.

Attack (Incorporeal Touch): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29 VS Dwalindor
Damage (Energy Drain): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 DC 19 Fortitude save or Get 1 Level of Energy Drain
Attack (Incorporeal Touch): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19 VS Shad
Damage (Energy Drain): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 DC 19 Fortitude save or Get 1 Level of Energy Drain
Attack (Incorporeal Touch): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30 VS Tariq
Damage (Energy Drain): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 DC 19 Fortitude save or Get 1 Level of Energy Drain
Attack (Incorporeal Touch): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36 VS Ozymandius
Damage (Energy Drain): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 DC 19 Fortitude save or Get 1 Level of Energy Drain

Fort: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Noonan keels over.

I see that HP total! Make your fortitude save to stabilize (not exactly orthodox but I think fair in this instance.)

Fort: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

Yikes! Rolling both saves for Dwalindor. .

Dwalindor grunts in pain…

”NOOOOOOO!!!!“

Fort : 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (16) + 24 = 40
Fort : 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (3) + 24 = 27

Shad tries to resist wail and drain as well

Fort : 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15 doh…
Fort : 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Tariq tries to resist as well

”Someone make it stop! “

Fort : 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
Fort : 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

we don’t have Baset on map, so presume off in hallway guarding.
Does not look good for Tariq nor Shad. 140 will kill both - unless they are just brought to -1 hp per greater wail. ???

So anyone for parcheesi?

will see how Ozy and Doge does and ruling on effect of damage being full or to -1 per greater wail.
”So who’s with me?!??? Guys?“

I think to -1 at most is fair.

Fort, Phantom attack, Ozy : 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
Fort, Banshee Screm, Ozy : 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Fort, Banshee Scream, Shiberus : 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Shiberus does little more than flinch at the puny scream.

OK, so I think that Ozy and Dwalindor are still up?

Yep…working on it now :)

Dwalindor is glad to see he is not fighting these by himself

”Ozy see what you can do for the others. “

He turns his attention back to the phantom in his face

ok so favorite enemies undead will cancel sickness -2, so not including either here. All these attacks do full against incorporeal

”LEAVE US ALONE! “

Ghost Rager +5 (Su) Full damage to incorporeal creatures, morale bonus to touch AC when raging (max normal AC)

Dwalindor's hammer seems to phase out of existence as it slams into the phastasm, tearing its form badly but leaving it still intact.

Ozy casts rage on everyone except Dwalindor, Shad and himself.

CLEAR!
He rubs his two spell guard braces together and creates a small shock, jolting Noonan and Tariq back to life and fills Shiberus with rage ( hopefully).
Concentration : 1d20 + 20 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 20 - 2 = 20 vs DC 21
Concentration extra braces : 1d20 + 20 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 20 - 2 = 29 Vs DC 21

Shiberus bites and claws the closest phantasm.

rage cancels sickness…these are magic so half damage

Magic Bite: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36 for Damage : 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (2, 4, 3) + 10 = 19
Magic Bite: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (11) + 22 = 33 for Damage : 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 6, 5) + 10 = 26
Magic Bite: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28 for Damage : 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (1, 5, 3) + 10 = 19
Magic claw: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34 for Damage : 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Magic claw: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34 for Damage : 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

So assuming the rage works, all 3 will get +15 hp from the con boost. But Noonan and Tariq are prone. I guess we leave Baset off down the hallway for now? No rage for Shad since he would not be able to cast.

I can only fit so many people in a hallway, assume Ba'set is near Shiberus.

Baset Fort v wail : 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29 whew

Tariq blinks his eyes open wondering why he on the floor…and really angry

”Dwarf…what …did …you …do??! “

He uses a vanishing trick and stands as he draws both weapons.

he is raging and at few hp and would do all of this after Noonan goes if possible.

Baset comes running to her master and will pounce on undead in the hall.

rage and sickness cancel

Bite pounce: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 15 + 2 = 33 for +1 bite: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Claw pounce: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 15 + 2 = 26 for +1 bite: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Claw pounce: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 2 = 28 for +1 bite: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

half damage on same as Sheberus hit.

Noonan channels
Channel: 10d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 4, 6, 3, 4, 2, 4, 6) = 42

Shad's eyes blink open as he finds himself on the ground and the wailing continues.

Shad concentrates then defensively casts fire snake on the banshee and two western phantasms

Concentration : 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31 vs Dc 21

Fire snake : 15d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6, 2, 5, 1, 4, 6, 6, 1, 2, 4, 3, 3, 2) = 51 reflex dc24

fire should reach all three .

Reflex (Banshee): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23
Reflex (Phantasm 1): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Reflex (Phantasm 2): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Woo, that went well!

Shad's spell annihilates the phantasm to the south and badly frays the incorporeal forms of the one to the north and the banshee.

The banshee retreats into the wall behind her but the remaining phantasms turn on you.
