Destiny of the Sands (Tier 3-4) (Inactive)

Game Master Amsheagar

The Haunt once again attacks Auriea
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
but fails to land a blow. As it fades from existance, everyone hears it's words "Remember"

Combat is over.

"Wow! That was scary! Are you ok Auria? I feared it might haunt you to the darkness of the bottom "

Once the danger is passed, Eldon advances carefully checking the passage south for traps.
Perception (take 20?): 20 + 9 = 29
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Questions about take 10/20 have been addressed in the discussion part of the game.

The arch around the north entrance to this hallway is covered with detailed carvings depicting the life and accomplishments of a female pharaoh. A charred corpse covered in flecks of glass is visible just inside the hallway.

Dispatching the creature, Auriea walks up to Eldon and proceedes to look at the carvings after casting Light on his kukri to better tell what the images are of.

History: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

"Huh, well this doesn't seem right. According to these, the Song Pharaoh was defeated by the Pharaoh of Forgotten Plagues, and not the other way around. Hmm, it also seems that she was born in Shiman-Sekh. I think this should be reported to the officials."

Perception: 1d20 + 5 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 5 = 13

Alerted by the body, Eldon does his best to find the trap that killed him "I could find one of the switches, but not the second one. Please, retreat as I try to find a way to disable it. It is easy thing trap is sprung in my attempt "

Disable device: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Disable device: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Disable device: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Disable device: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Disable device: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Eldon, give me a perception roll. if we use your roll from above, you rolled a total of 12, so you are unable to see the traps.

With take 20 I have enough to unroll the spoiler.
I fear I sprung the trap anyway.

Those around Eldon suffer as he sets off the trap with his second blind attempt. If you're within 10 feet of those black things on the map Everyone takes fire damage: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 1) = 7 Halved if you succeed at a 11 reflex save. If you fail, you are all blinded.

Eldon has requested everyone to move out before working on it so he should be the only affected one

Readied for the trap to spring since he sight the burned corpse, Eldon rolls to the side avoiding the flames.
Ref (evasion) DC 11: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Bending backwards as if doing the limbo, Auriea dodges the majority of the blast aimed at him. Rising back back up he looks at Eldon, "You really ought to be more careful. That could have been bad!"

The elf raises his hands around his face in an attempt to protect his eyes. The fire, he was less concerned over.

Ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

"Well then..."
the elf looks about, a small bit of him singed, but less so then it may have been.
"Should I burn it down?"

Reflex save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Tarquin shields himself from most of the fire, then brushes the cinders from his jerkin. "Any chance for a heal here before we proceed? This mission is getting a little hot for me."

Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2Myself
Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8Myself
Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7Sir Tarquin
Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9Eldon
Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4Tyriel

Pulling out a wand, the sylph taps himself and everyone who got hit with the trap.

"Apparently the traps seems to still be in order!"

Holding off on Sidney, as I don't know how hurt he is.

Sidney looks up, as he was checking to see if he had gotten any tan lines that made him look too dark or too pale in some spots.

"No, I guess I was too distracted. I stayed back."

Sidney seems a little embarrassed he lagged behind.

But you can use my wand if you need it!"

This large columned chamber shows signs of past comforts, but an ancient battle scorched the walls and ceiling, and cracked and smashed the floor and columns. The remnants of furniture are scattered against the walls, and piles of bodies are stacked in the sleeping alcoves along the south and west walls. A dais crowned with a great, round table rises from the floor in the south part of the room. Three corpses sit around the table as if in conference, each dressed in fine silk robes. A slight breeze whistles through with a sound like a distant, murmuring voice, but there is no sense or meaning in it. An open hallway to the north leads to a natural cavern. Stairs lead downward in the northeast corner of the room, but were buried in stone when the wall collapsed.

Okay, Give me a perception check.

No worries! Happens from time to time! Need me to roll another history check?

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Auriea looks around, but seems to be humming a little tune to himself while searching the area, somewhat oblivious to most of his surroundings.

Nope, only a perception check. Other than that, give me five actions.

per: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

"Thanks, Auriea, I owe you one!"

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Tarquin, still with falcata drawn, peers around the room, moving toward the collapsed stairs to look for clues.

Eldon rejects Auria's healing with a smile "I fortunately evaded the whole flames, but thanks. It is a pity, I tried to warn you at the best of my knowledge but it seems things scaped my control "

The elf inspects the room with his companions, drawing his shield wand and using it.
+4 shield AC 10 min

Perception (+1 vs traps): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Retrieving the haste potion, Eldon approaches the corpses in the table.
"We ask your pardon, we are looking for the Scarab Sages" he says like trying to talk with the murmur.

Sorry, been busy with home game things!

Auriea looks about the area, still humming the fun little tune while searching about. Chuckling as Eldon asks the room, images popped into the bard's head of the three dead figures starting to talk, including hosting a formal tea session.

"Eldon, hah, if they were to tell us as where to go, that would mean that they aren't quite dead. Maybe they would invite us to a lecture with a side of Osirian tea?"

I'll roll for Tyriel, since it seams he is currently out.
perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

I'll try to post from school on wednesday, but after today, i am moving to a new apartment. The Internet will be back up for me next Saturday.

"Someone is approaching. Let's prepare for the worst" that said, Eldon moves behind the columns and tries to hide.

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

"Just say the word, I wont give it the chance..."

Tyriel prepares a fire ray as a readied action for when the others attack.

The elf coughs lightly as he looks about.

You have 5 rounds before the enemy shows up.

Taking Eldon's advice, Auriea goes with the elf into the shadows, while whispering towards the others. "Maybe we should be the one who catch someone off guard."

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Tyriel's lips pull to a smirk on one side. He gives a silent nod...
Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
...He slides with the others, wanting to scorch as much of them as he feasibly could when the time happens.

Sidney prepares an elemental to meet them.

Tarquin moves to the side of the door, using his scroll of invisibility on himself before casting shocking grasp on his falcata, holding the charge.

You see a group (3 or4) of fighters walk into the room. As they approach the center of the room, the man in the lead says "spread out and keep an eye open.

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 3 dont have the PDF with me, so they might get a perception bonus. or not.....

Do any of you break cover to talk with these three men?

Sidney, confident in his mage armor, steps out to meet the folks. He strike a heroic pose behind his earth elemental.

"I am Sidney. I am well disposed to grant you favor."

Sidney's well cut clothes and smile have been known to get people to like him.

Diplomacy to influence: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

What the fighters look like? Undead? Osiriani? Do they seem aggressive or civilized?

Eldon waits, behind the column, trying to assess how Sidney approach may result.

human, they look like your group.

The leader jumps as he hears Sidney's voice, Who are you, what are you doing here? he quickly asks of the blue dude.

Tyriel waits in hiding, his hands already in gesture for unleashing a hell wave of burning doom.

"We are Pathfinders. Our mission is vital to humans such as you everywhere. Who the blazes are you?"

Sidney seems to be somewhat impatient and indicates his earth elemental.

"Stoney here is looking for troublemakers. Any around here?"

Eldon swallows in tension, hopping Sidney knows what he is doing.

AUriea shifts somewhat uncomfortable from the tension, hands hovering over his kukris, ready to pull them out.

Desna, please let this go well.

The human looks at the stone elemental. "He looks fun to play with, but where are looking for a powerful weapon that should be in this room." He looks at you "Shell we look together?"

remains calm, however his impulsiveness has begun to itch through out his body. The inner flame wishing to be released.
Holding the best he can, he was never very good at sticking to a 'subtle' approach for long periods of time. He was practically begging for ANY excuse these people would give him to turn them to ash.

"Yes, show us this weapon of power."

Sidney looks the newcomers over carefully.

[ooc]they don't know where it is. So they will also be searching. Might want to start showing yourselves and explaining why you were hiding. Diplomacy/charisma, DC 10..[ooc]

Tyriel slides out from his hiding place, remaining silent though giving a simple nod in their direction.
Diplo-Nod: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"Well, come with us. We will look together."
diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Eldon doesn't know why they want the weapon for and who they are, and thus prefers to keep hiding.
Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Auriea comes out of the shadows towards the people with a smile and open arms.

"Well met! At first I wasn't sure if there were some unfriendly folks here with us, considering the area. Now that I see you all have met, we all should look for this relic together!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Tarquin can't help but feel unnerved by a group of strangers seeking a powerful weapon. He remains invisible and tails the group.

Okay, moving forward. Please place your icons on the map around the 3 guys in yellow. Your hiding spots, if you still staying hidden. I'll update the game in the morning. (12 hours from now.)

okay, I a moving on. I don't have the init for the guys in Yellow, but they are on your side. I'll roll blank for now and update it when I get home.Q

Suddenly a flame rages on the table in the middle of the room. As a malignant cloud of shadows boils in the air, its skeletal maw eerily babbling as the creature's claws manifest from the darkness. need a 15 will save from everyone, if you fail you will be facinated for 2d4 rounds. You can roll this roll since each character is different. as the flames subside, you hear a moan as a zombie rises from the bones in alcove: 1d4 ⇒ 3
