Slypher advances with Sorin, ready to strike down any threats that might appear.

Slypher, Sorin, and Oscric actually don't find anything. Just silence. And the strange looking idol.

"Ok. Now I feel stupid. Tell me again why we ran out here?" Sorin says, turning to Slypher.

Sorin looks to be speaking, but the unnatural silence is all that everyone can hear.

No other obvious threats at this time. You can move on out of this room or examine the statue further.

Slypher tries to see if the statue is a trap.
Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 11

Slypher doesn't think it is a trap, though it most certainly is where the magic is coming from.

Slypher looks at everyone else for approval as he raises his staff above his head, ready to smash the idol to bits.

Aasif quickly steps toward the idol, examining it, too.

All the while silently mouthing nonsense words to Slypher.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Does Osric recognize the statue?

Knowledge religion or planes, both at +4.

here is the roll if I do it, and / or one of them is appropriate.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Oscric doesn't recognize the figure to be any god that he knows. Perhaps it is another really old one?
Aasif can't find anything particularly interesting about this figure except that his eyes are inlaid with small orange jewels. These garnets would likely be easily removed from the figure and would hold quite a value to any merchant.

Slypher strikes his staff against the statue before anyone can stop him. But as loudly as he bangs and yells, the silence isn't broken. He dents his staff in a few places, but the stone statue stands loud defiance. Essentially nothing happens when you try to attack it.

Slypher picks up the statue and tries to stuff it in his backpack.
Let me know if I die.

lol, you wont die... but you will need a large backpack. Its about 4 feet tall, made of stone, heavy as hell.

Realizing how heavy it is, Slypher instead tries to stuff it into Sorin's pack.

Nicely done!
Your options are thus- explore the statue further (and quietly) or move on to the next room.

Slypher points to the gems in the eyes, then indicates to Aasif to pry them out.

Jostrum watches the actions of him companions with a bemused look on his face. It's like the mimes I saw at the fair back in Nirmathas, when I was a child.

Sorin shoves Slypher away with a grin as Slypher makes motions as if he was lifting the heavy statue and putting it in Sorin's backpack.

Sorin moves past the statue and heads towards the western door, looking to see if he can figure out where the eerie silence ends.

Slypher follows Sorin, hoping Aasif will grab the gems and follow.

Aasif pries the gems out and stuffs them into his pockets. Then he follows the others.
"..." he exclaims happily.

You are able to grab the garnet gems as they easily prey off of the statue. They are not magical but fit nicely in your pocket!
You start to move out of the room, and as you exit you start to hear Slypher and Sorin gibbering almost incoherently. This hallway is about 20' long before it enters into the next room.

Gibbering incoherently because of some reason or normal Sorin / Slypher talk?

Osric will detect magic on them.

Its the normal Soin and Slypher speak... nothing new about about them.
Anything before entering the next room?

Jostrum enters the statue room, starting to follow the lead group. Maybe you wait for the others. Be wary of traps. he calls after them.

Nothing else for me. Next room it is.

"Well, whatever that was, I am glad its stuck in that room. I bet the statue is the source of the silence. You know...that would be a nice place to take a nap. Wouldn't have to listen to your snoring." Sorin says to Slypher with a grin as they move into the next room.

"Or Pai's whining."

As you enter the next room, you find a 50'x50' room. A large stone dais in this chamber supports a great sarcophagus. The lid, once carved in the image of a sleeping ancient warrior, is cracked into two pieces and lies askew.
The bodies of several dead adventurers lie crumpled on the floor.

"Beware traps, I would think

Osric will also cast detect magic.

Standing outside of the room Osric concentrates for a few moments. Nothing in the room appears to be magical.

"I don't like this at all. Let's make Aasif loot the bodies and then get out of here." Slypher says, scanning the area for threats.
Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10

Aasif nods: [/b]"The most helpful Aasif will of course be of assistance! Searching and finding the most glittering riches!"[/b]

He will look for traps, and if he's convinced that it is save, he'll approach the dead adventurers, though wearily incase that they are some undead monstrosities.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Pai Song was standing right behind you all the time, secretly filled with terror because she could not speak and therefore not cast any spell, what is one of her worst nightmares. Her face shows great relief as all leave the zone of silence.

What is that? she exclaims as she sees the dead bodies. So much wasted potential! Perhaps they left useful things for us?

As you all move closer to examine the bodies and the room, they sudden shift up to their feet! Three of the adventurers are now moving and appear to be animated in their state of death!

I'll post initiative and a map in the morning...

"Seriously, more undead? What is it with this place?" Sorin complains.

"Slypher, what do you think, block their way so they can't get to the rest of the party?" he asks, shifting his grip on his greatsword as he eyes the undead's approach.

Pai Song, still protected through her mage armor, casts a disrupt undead on one.

Touch Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 81d6 ⇒ 1

"Leave Pai a clear shot. If they try to squeeze between us, cut them down."

Aasif hastens forward and massages the ankles of Sorin, to give him a sure step and better aim with his weapon.

aid another: 1d20 ⇒ 11

"A most invigorating ankle-massage for you, my friend!"

Initiative Order: Sorin, Undead 1, Pai, Slypher, Aasif, Jostrum, Undead 2, Osric.
I have orders for Pai and Aasif, unless I hear differently I'll use those as actions on your turn.

MAP

Osric hollers "move up you big lunks and chop these obnoxious things apart!"

Does Osric recognize these things? He has knowledge religion and planes both at +4. I guess you roll that.

I am assuming that they cannot get past us unless we break up the formation. If they can flank us, Sorin will charge forward and attack. If Slypher and Sorin can hold them back, then he will stand shoulder to shoulder with Slypher and block them. He will ready an attack for the moment an enemy steps into range. Sorry, I must be looking in the wrong place for the map.

Readied attack or charge, as appropriate: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

The problem with our formation is that Pai, Osric and Jostrum are in front. Slypher and Sorin are in back.

I understand the need to have the figures on the map, but in reality, Sorin and Slypher led and the others should be in the other room still, following.

UPDATED MAP.

Osric knows that the smaller monsters are zombies while the larger one is a more advanced undead. They are called Wights. They come into being when a great warrior dies violently and his spirit is filled with a horrible necromantic version of magic.

Sorry lads for the shoddy character placement. They map was re-drawn and posted. FYI- the zombies don't animate until you get within 20'. Play on!

"Kill the big one first, boys!" calls out Osric

Charge it is then. Too bad we know Sorin misses. boo. Straightline charge to the closest enemy. 2 squares diagonally to the northwest.

Sorin charges forward, his mighty swing missing the undead foes. The two zombies swing back at the warrior, with a slow furry.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 for Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
One of the Zombie's smashes Sorin with a large fist!

The other zombie moves forward to Slypher. Its lumbering form moves close, but he can't do more than that.

Pai lets a blast of energy out of her hand, but it hits only the ruined stones of the sarcophagus.

Initiative Order: Sorin, Undead 1, Pai, Slypher, Aasif, Jostrum, Undead 2, Osric.

UPDATED MAP

Moving closer, Jostrum draws his bow back and fires at the wight.

Attack, PBS: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Move fifteen feet to the left, avoiding AoO.

Jostrum's shot misses the mark. The arrow bounces off of the stone floor and lands harmlessly in the corner.

[ooc]Slypher and Aasif, your turns![/ooc]

Slypher draws his dagger and takes a swing at the zombie before him.
Dagger: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19, Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Landing the hit, he steps lightly to one side to get a better angle.
5-foot step to back-to-back Sorin if I can.
