Jonas steps up and readies an attack while Jokbur sinks an arrow into one of the creatures, and it appears to not damage it as much as he expected. As the creatures move to attack Jonas, he manages to hit the one that Jokbur damaged, but misses with his follow up swings. The two creatures bite at Jonas, but cannot find an opening. Ariella then send some fire at one but cannot connect.

Attack #1 with Bite 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (5) = 11

Attack #2 with Bite 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (4) = 10

Note I moved Jokbur and Jonas from top of round 2 to end of round 1 to make future rounds go smoother

Round 1

Initiative Order - Monsters, Hermann, Quirmydt, Ariella, Edmund, Jokbur, Jonas

Monster AC 17 T 15 FF 13

Round 1

"Lady Ariella, get back!" Hermann warns, and steps up next to her and stabs at the nearest creature.

Move to (57,-I), and
Attack (longspear, Power Attack): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Round 1

To give his companions extra assistance, Qui quickly slides around the monsters to provide some flanking assistance.

Move to -L/54

Swift: Assume Crane Style

Fighting Defensively - AC23

Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 2 + 2 = 8 <-- -2 fighting defensive, +2 flanking
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Qui does a marvelous pirouette which results in his blade making a beautiful arc nowhere near its intended target.

Jonas knew they were too fast and in too close to employ his usual weapon. The polearm clattered to the ground. He drew a heavy mace from his belt and swung at the one in front of him, raising his shield high and trying to keep himself between them and his allies.

"Come here, you gross little abominations."

5'adjust back. attack 55K
Attack, Fighting Defensively: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 4 = 7
Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Current AC 25

Edmund slips around to J58 and fires a cone of colours up past Hermann and just shy of Qui, catching the two outsiders.

Will save DC 16

Both creatures are affected by Edmund's spell, just standing there while being unable to see. Blinded and Stunned

Jokbur left to go this round

Jokbur fires two arrows at the left enemy after stepping diagonally forward and to the left.
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 161d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The first shot is off.

Both creatures are stunned and blinded

Round 1

Initiative Order - Monsters, Hermann, Quirmydt, Ariella, Edmund, Jokbur, Jonas

Monster AC 17 T 15 FF 13

Creatures just stand there this round, you are up!

Shouldn't they be AC 11 then?

Ariella tries her fireball again, stepping back as she throws it. It misses again.
_________________________

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Fuuu.... (x_x)

move to 56 -h

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 161d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

if ac16 or less: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Jokbur bids two arrows at the left one as he steps at a 45 degree angle left and forward.

With the Blind and Stunned conditions, they are denied their dex and each condition give a -2 penalty to AC so their effective AC is 9 this round. Touch AC of 6

So I hit!? Awesome!

Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

I was targeting #2.

Jonas grinned and swung with his mace.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Qui pokes them to see what happens:

Fighting Defesively, because that it what this manfrog does.

AC: 23

Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 2 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

A second arrow hits the creatures for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 piercing

You're all very, very welcome! :D

Arcane bolt at the more damaged one: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 3 - 4 = 3 (touch)

Oops!

I'll DMPC Hermann since he is gone on vacation

Hermann once again stabs with his longspear #2 leaving another wound. His hit as well the others seem to be partially absorbed by these creatures, though wounds are appearing and they are getting hurt. Ariella's fire bolt hit the creature but was unaffected by it.

Attack (longspear, Power Attack): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

As Edmund's force bolt misses, the one closest to him shrugs off the blindness, but is not yet clear headed enough to attack

#1 is stunned and blinded, #2 just stunned

Round 1

Initiative Order - Monsters, Hermann, Quirmydt, Ariella, Edmund, Jokbur, Jonas

Monster #1 AC 9 T 6 FF 9

Monster #2 AC 11 T 8 FF 11

Jokbur switches to blunt arrows and goes for the unblind.

blunt: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 111d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
blunt: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 101d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

One hits.

"Immune to fire...great," Ariella says sarcastically. "Lady of the morning, bless us with your radiance in this place of darkness. May our blades and bows strike true against these foes!"
_________________________________________

EVERYONE IS BLESSED.

Don't forget to add it to your stuffs.

Arcane bolt at the non-blinded one.

Touch attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 3

Maybe if he just aimed at the wall, he'd hit a monster instead...

All, do not waste your spells. These guys are stunned and/or blinded. Lets try to take them down.

Qui slides over to -L55 and stabs at the no longer blinded creature.

Fighting Defensively - AC23

Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 17 <-- -2 Fighting Defensively, +2 flanking, +1 Bless
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Anyone know what these things are? How can we hurt them more?

Hermann stabs once again at the unblinded one and connects with a solid piercing blow, partially resisted, but finally killing it.

Attack (longspear, Power Attack): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Looks like Hermann can wrap this up in two rounds, before the other one gets unstunned

Attack (longspear, Power Attack): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Attack (longspear, Power Attack): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

As you kill the creatures, their body disappears leaving nothing behind.

Jokbur speeds up hi searching. taking 10 now

Adjust to 56J

Attack #1, blessed, flanking: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 = 10

"They look like cherubs, but corrupted. Never heard of anything like that."

Er, Jonas, are you attacking the shadows? I think that the monsters are all done.

So back to cabinet 2, Jokbur had found a number of books in this cabinet:

Amador’s Basic Anatomical Textbook(100 gp)
Zovar’s Catalogue of Diseases and Pestilences (10 gp)
Tharo’s Introduction to Purgatives and Herbal Remedies, second edition (250 gp)
Polodor’s Collected Essays on Contagions and Cures (75 gp)
Omens, Portents, and Prophesies of the Healing Gods (25 gp)

A sixth book that does not seem to match the others. The sixth book has no title on the cover, and the thick leather binding is held closed with a massive lock.

After thoroughly examining the book take 20, the ranger takes his high end picks out. disable: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

He works the lock.

Jokbur is successful in picking the lock on the book!

Although not illiterate, he immediately hands the book to Edmund.

He quickly resumes searching at the abbreviated pace.

Are you going to continue to go through the cabinets or wait for him to check out the book?

Edmund grunts as the heavy book drops unexpectedly in his arms. He nervously opens the cover.

Jokbur carried the book to Edmund after he opened the book and carefully examined it for possible booby-traps.

Jokbur returns to searching the cabinets at a safe distance from the others. He does not wait for Edmund to do this.

He will hand the other books to Ariella before returning to the cabinets.
"These books may be of interest to you. They seem valuable."

Taking 10 on searching the cabinets for 28(29 traps)

"Uh...Thanks Jockbur?" Ariella resonds, looking down at the pile of books in her arms. Booooooring....

Cabinet 3 contains a row of twenty bottles of liquid.

Edmund cracks open the book he checks it out for a few minutes and realizes it is a book of demons called The tome of Draav. It contains the name and descriptions of a large number of demons. Paging through you notice there are many hand written notes spread through. Further investigation will take approximately 30 minutes of study

"Demon lore, with hand-written notations. Very creepy."

Jokbur opens the bottles and uses his smell and a small taste to see if he can identify them.
Hope to take 10 for perception to identify liquid/potions

After Jokbur has finished searching the cabinets, he does a quick look for secret doors. Then he looks apprehensively at the hand prints.

"We ready to go?"

Jonas shrugs. "I am."

"I am also ready. Do we even know where we are going though? I'm starting to get the feeling that we're lost."

Jokbur checks the 20 bottles of liquid

5 Bottles are some kind of urine sample
2 bottles are some sort of healing potion
4 have a weird taste but seem to be harmless
8 bottles smell like medicine of some sort, yet not healing potions or magical

And 1 bottle requires a Fortitude Save

Don't forget you have 2 cabinets yet to go in this room!

Jokbur shows obvious distaste at some of the bottles.
fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Then explores two more cabinets.

One of the former? medicines seems to have gone really bad over the years, Jokbur begins to taste but quickly realizes it is deadly and spits it out before any harm can come to him.

Jokbur moves to the 4th cabinet after searching it for traps he is satisfied and opens it. As you open it a mass of green slime You have seen its like before dripping from the ceiling on the first level comes sliding out about to cover and splatter you.

Reflex save to avoid!

ref: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Jokbur manages to jump out of the way in time to avoid getting splattered by the rush of green slime that comes out of the cabinet. It now sits as a pool of slime in front of the empty cabinet.

Edmund nearly drops the demon book.

"That was almost very, very bad. Did any get on you?"

"No, I think I am dry. Can you get rid of it?"

Any more cabinets to search?

"Ariella can."
