Chakos knows Furkas is a ghost, but its weaknesses elude him for the moment.

Syvlara's arrows is struck to the ground by a thick coil of smoke.

Furkas casts a spell, creating something invisible at the doorway. Astra can feel her hair standing up as the magic forms but she obviously can't see anything.

Everyone's turn.

Astra casts Good Hope.

Each affected creature gains a +2 morale bonus on saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls.

Liz casts a spell and everyone starts speeding upHaste

Chakos takes a 5' step to the SW to be adjacent to Furkas, and unloads on him.

Hmmm

GM, can you tell me how many hit, so I know how much damage I took?

Syvlara just yells in rage as she fires five arrows within six seconds.

Arrow1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32

Ibuki searches his brain wether he knows something more about Furkas weaknesses.

Astra also tries to identify Xoud's weaknesses -- but most importantly, is this really him or some kind of fakeout illusion to get them to expend resources?

Knowledge: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26 Baseline +12 for most knowledges, up to +6 more with some knowledges

The first attack hits, Chakos. Your spellcraft reveals nothing. Liz know the spell is wall of force blocking the doorway and likely preventing the rest of the party from entering the room. Astra and Ibuki believe that he is a ghost, with undead traits and incorporeal-ness. His smoke increases his resistance to fire and gives him additional armor. Incorporeal so no crit. :P

Chakos slashes through smoky tendrils and cuts through the Furkas. The rest of his attacks are knocked aside by smoke or simply miss the ghostly figure. Syvlara's arrows poke into the ghost, as his body reforms from the damage (he is not healing/or regenerating, just ghost stuff).

43 Furkas Xoud. Ibuki has an action.

Ibuki tries to dispel the force barrier blocking the door.

Dispel Magic: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Can someone move me for my 5' step please?

Moved you. Had to do a system recovery due to problems on my home computer and now i'm posting on another one. I'll check in when I can but evenings are spotty.

Thanks!

Ibuki's magic does nothing against the wall of force. His spell fizzles the instant it touches the invisible wall.

Furkas summons smoke into the room which covers (but doesn't hide) Chakos, Syvlara and Furkas. It glows with a necrotic light healing the apparition. Then he points at Chakos with a rod, causing smoke to rip the weapon from the blue elf's hands.

Healing: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7
Negative Energy Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9

Chakos and Syvlara take the negative energy damage.
36 Furkas. Everyone's turn.

He gets a +22 to disarm? Ok, so I actually think he missed by 1!

My CMD is 21, +4 for smite, +2 for Good Hope, +1 for Haste, so 28.

Does that seem correct?

I also have questions about the actions, he summoned smoke? And then used the rod? Isn't that 2 actions?

With the smoke in the room, I guess I'd get no AOO against the use of the rod?

Next question, the smoke in the room, presumably provides some concealment? Do you want us to roll that when we attack?

I don't have any magic that can penetrate or dispel the force wall!

Astra considers using her ghost touch sword on Xoud, but then her thoughts stray to the cylex explosive she carries in her pack. It would just need something to detonate it. "Elizabeth, do you still have lightning?" Then, she re-thinks that idea, measuring the dimensions of the room inside her head. The quarters are too close...there's no way we'd be able to escape the blast. Gripping her sword firmly, she says, "Never mind", and moves into the fray, slipping past Syvlara to stand in front of the elf and prevent Xoud from getting to her. Summoning her full focus, she activates her archaeogist's luck ability, gaining +2 to hit and damage on top of the Good Hope and Haste.

Ghost Touch Sword vs Xoud To-Hit: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 9

So I'm not sure what the situation is, but if my numbers are correct, I don't believe I was disarmed, so I'll assume the best. The GM can let me know otherwise.

Summoning the smoke is a free action he can do. It offers no concealment. Also if your CMD is 28, then he did not disarm you. Astra doesn't get an attack on Xoud.

Astra tries to walk through the door, but is stopped by an invisible force. She slashes at it with her weapon but nothing seems to happen.

Only Chakos' first swing manages to cut through the ghost, the others knocked aside by smoky tendrils. Syvlara also mostly misses the speedy apparition.

60 Furkas. Ibuki may act whenever.

Furkas moves back a step, then disappears and reappears in the hallway with Astra, Liz and Ibuki.

Chakos and Syvlara take the following negative energy damage.
Negative energy damage for standing in smoke: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

Everyone's turn.

Syvlara will scan her surroundings by searching and feeling her way around the barrier, trying to find any loophole or door that lets her through. Should I roll anything for that?

The room we're in is covered on the map, so I can't see if there are any other exits. If there are, I'll check one out.

Astra moves to Xoud and tries to hit him again with her ghost touch sword.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 16 Pfft
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 6

Liz moves and uses her Arcane focus to recastMagic Missile at the ghost
MM: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3, 3) + 3 = 13

It's covered up by the pink but there are two doors, one to the north and south west inside Furkas' room.

Syvlara touches an invisible barrier at the door. As much as she pushes, she cannot get through.

Chakos opens a door to the east and finds another room. Inside he finds an ornate bathtub, fine adornments along with small vials of liquid. None of it looks like it has been used in a while, but it provides escape from the smoke.

As Liz's magic missiles fly towards Furkas, they are blocked by an invisible shield of magic. He smiles smugly at Elizabeth. "I'm a wizard, child. Magic missiles don't work on me!"

Ibuki's turn.

Well I bet you can't get through my Globe of Invulnerability!

but it provides escape from the smoke.

I'll take it.

Passing Ibuki, he may post whenever.

Furkas frowns at Liz, "No, not yet. I will have to deal with you later. Now I'll just kill your companions!

Xoud steps back and hurls a fireball to hit Ibuki, Astra, the force wall and Liz (who is immune).

Reflex DC 17 for half damage.

Fireball: 10d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 1, 4, 5, 5, 5, 1, 3) = 29 fire

The force wall is highlighted by the flames, but remains where it is, blocking the doorway.

Syvlara takes negative energy damage standing in the smoke.
Negative Energy Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Everyone's turn.

I thought you were a skilled wizard! Don't you know that the globe Protects everyone withing 10 feet of me?

Liz moves a bit so she can protect everyone and spits a lightnihg bolt at Xoud
Dragon's Breath DC 18 for half damage
Electric: 8d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 4, 5) = 33

Chakos makes grunting and hissing noises and motions with his hands to Syvlara pointing into the safe place he has found.

Reflex vs Lightning Bolt: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Furkas frowns as his fireball does nothing against the clumped up adventurers. He moves aside as Liz's lightning flies across the room, catching his incorporeal hand.

68 Furkas

Syvlara, Ibuki, and Astra's turn.

Astra swings her ghost touch sword again.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 6

Not a swordswoman, she.

"Desist, Xoud! We're here for information only, we have no wish for hostilities with you!"

Let´s give you a taste of your own medicine there.

Ibuki casts his own fireball, shooting it directly at Furkas.
Raising CL by 2 with arcane point, DC 19
Fireball: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 6, 4, 6, 6, 1, 6, 6) = 42

Syvlara darts into the place that Chakos indicates, although she doesn't understand his words.

Chakos looks at Syvlara and gives her the "thumbs up" sign!

Furkas gives a smug grin as Astra's specter-harming sword bounces off a smoky tendril. A fireball erupts from Ibuki's hands, striking the smoke wizard partially. He hisses from the minor spell damage and flies up through the ceiling, disappearing from the room.

Reflex DC 19: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

78 Furkas
Battle is over. Astra may make an aoo as he leaves.
The negative energy smoke remains for about a minute.

Room again.

The door to this room is locked with arcane lock (CL loth).
This large chamber appears to be a combination of bedroom and study. A large window to the northwest, fitted with sturdy metal slats, lets in light and air, while elaborate tapestries depicting gloomy landscapes and gothic architecture adorn the walls. A large bed sits in the room, its fine coverings frayed and dusty.

A small desk against the southwest wall is bare, while doors provide several exits-although no handle adorns the door to the northwest. Instead of a handle or knob, it bears a small plate of coppery metal.

Are any of you injured?

How long does the wall of force stick around?

"Will he go off now and heal up, only to come back later?"

He most likely will. We would need to chase him upstairs but we are pretty depleted and don't know what is up there. I have no more spells except for my lightning wand that can harm him.

Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 6

I don't think I'm injured since Elizabeth's globe shielded us.

"Then I say use that wand. If we let him heal now, we will be back at square one." For the moment, Astra is less interested in examining the room and more interested in making sure that the threat doesn't get to regenerate.

"I still have a considerable amount of healing ability for today, so I am good to go if we want to continue. I too think that todays hould be the day, and not let him regenerate. He knows too much about us and will plan better to kill us next time."

Very well, just be careful since there might be more of his creations up there, and giant badgers.

The wall of force disappears around the same time the smoke disappears.

Astra manages to cut the ghost as he flies away through the ceiling.

There are a few doors around the floor and stairs that go up. Where do you go?

Up, if everyone is ok with that

Just say the word and Chakos will make it happen!

Word.

Chakos heads up the stairs!
