GM Bold Strider's Mummy's Mask (Inactive)

Game Master rpblue

Seherab opens his eyes and sits up slowly, shaking his head. Seeing Dwizzle standing over him, he mutters, "Thanks. I've been knocked out two too many times today. I agree with Hogan, it's time to rest. I don't want anything to escape here though; I think we should camp in the first room or just outside the front doors and take turns keeping watch."

The group, nearly exhausted from the efforts pursued today, find that rest is needed and they head to the tomb that resides above their heads, hoping that the broken stairs are enough to keep any possible threats in the basement as the dwarves pull up their ropes.

The group sets their watches and, as the sun rises up over the shadow of the necropolis, Seherab awakes and notices that Teos has disappeared. There are no signs of combat and it appears that the dwarf merely vanished in the night.

Full rest. No interruptions.

Heh, the metagame moment where your characters would totally investigate the sudden disappearance of Teos as part of plot... but you realize as a player it's the most convenient method to exit an absent player.

Dwizzle rubs his eyes, counting his dwarven companions, but somehow not as concerned as one would expect.

"Hey... did we lose a dwarf last night?"

Even before he gets a reply, he takes a look at his brothers.

"Is anyone still hurt from yesterday? Ra-Tor was generous this morning as I prayed."

"I do not think so." Hogan replies looking around. "I am mostly fine Brother." The staunch dwarfadin takes a moment to summon his earthy companion. I'm down 8 after resting.

@Dwizzle: Right? I've seen cleaner exits where the missing party is given a send off, but you lot are staying overnight in a dungeon, so not many options.

Ankhef awakens and does his morning prayers, hoping the best for Teos.

"If I ever suggest one more room again please remind me of this incident, I sincerely apologize for the danger my advice put us in."

Ankhef will cast false life.

Back from vacation!

"Hey... did we lose a dwarf last night?"[/b]

Seherab looks at the ground for a moment and then clears his throat. "Indeed we did. I was on watch when brother Teos came up behind me; he had already packed his things and I don't think he had slept at all. Signed that he had made a mistake in leaving the monastery so early, before his training was complete. He found his faith wavering in the face of so much undeath and senseless violence so he wished to return to the monastery lest he break his vow and lose his faith completely. I only nodded and let him go quietly; I thought it best that way."

How's that?

"That is sad to hear but I understand."

Sounds great! Where to now?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Seherab sits in silence for a moment longer, thinking of his many good times with Teos, before standing up and brushing off his hands. "Well, there's no sense wallowing. We've still more undead to kill and a cult to overthrow. Let's check out the right side of that compound now that we're all rested."

Seherab leads the way to the doors to the right and checks the door before leading the way in.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

[b]"Agreed brother. We have work to do."/b] Hogan will summon his rocky companion known as Balboa before following Seherab.

Dwizzle nods at Seherab's explanation.

"Makes sense to me! Plus, we've got Hogan and me now, so we're all set!"

Dwizzle takes a look at the most recent scars the dwarves have "acquired".

"Also, I noticed that Teos was the only one who carried silver... and ummm, seems we might want to remedy that? We've got a lot of gold between us all, right?"

Dwizzle will pick up a silver light mace for 25gp en route to our next destination, and urge others to do the same. I imagine these should be available in town?

"Well, I've still got some bolts coated with silver. I just got in a bad spot is all."

Your not in town, but in the dungeon, so toy aren't able to make purchases. On my phone at the moment. Will update tomorrow morning.

"Agreed, we should finish searching up here before descending further."

Sarcophagi and mummified creatures of every shape and size fill this chamber. Detailed murals and carvings on the walls depict a wide variety of beasts from the surrounding area and far beyond. The Hall of Immortal Beasts houses the mummified remains of hundreds of creatures—draft animals, quarry from hunts, and beloved pets, especially cats—who would accompany the dead of the Shepses line and guard them on their journey along the River of Souls. A mummified elephant dominates the crypt, but, for now, the room is quiet, its peaceful denizens apparently undisturbed by the ka pulse.

You find no traps or enemies in this room, however there are significantly valuable mummified remains in here. Taking them, however, would be a grievous affront to the gods and the Shepses family.

"We'd better leave this for documentation later. Let's check the central chamber."

Once again Seherab checks the door and leads the way.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Ankhef agrees "Despite the ongoing emergency we should avoid any unnecessary desecration."

Tidy wooden cabinets with brass knobs and labels fill this musty library to the brim. A large cedar table stands against the south wall.

Seherab, in his study of history, learned of this mythical place through back channels. The Catalogue of Days is modeled off of Pharasma’s own Catalogue of Last Days, yet instead of recording details of death and judgment, it instead provides a historical accountings of birth, marriage, and other joyous celebrations of life within Wati. With enough time and dedication, a scholar could find the record of any birth in the city stretching back almost 2,000 years, with select family lines stretching even further back to Wati’s founding. The room’s walls are extremely thick and lined with wooden panels, dampening sounds for researchers. It’s almost impossible to hear sounds from the rest of the Sepulcher while inside, and vice versa.

As you enter, you find that this area is not empty, though the silencing effect of the room seems to have kept you from detecting them and from them detecting you (especially during your last fight).

Three skeletal champions stand in a triangle around a severed head, trapped in a gilded cage. "Whaaaat?!" screeches the severed head. "THE LIVING HAVE COME?! KILL THEM MY PRETTIES!" the woman's voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard. "Bring me close so I can chew off their flesh!"

Dwizzle, certain that the skeletons are nothing more than strong skeletons, wonders at the shrieking head's origin and capabilities.

Knowledge (religion) re: shrieking head: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

While musing, he does what he does best, he waves his flag around and cheers on his brothers surrounding him.

"Tally ho, dwarves! Skeletons are nothing to fear with the light of Ra-Tor radiating above! Let us make quick work of them!"

Begin sermon. 14rds remain today.

Effects Active: +2/+2 from sermon; +1/+1 from flag-bearer

Unwilling to rush in on his own and not liking the woman's crazed demeanor, Seherab simply steps away from the door and drinks an extract of shield.

The two flanking the head of the shrieking woman rush into the hallway with the first provoking attacks from Dwizzle and Seherab as it moves into position.

From behind its heavy shield, the first champion takes a huge slash at Dwizzle.

Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

As the undead slashes through the gnome, he eagerly adds weight to his swing, catching Seherab with the follow-up arc of blade's path.

The second champion rushes into the hallway and does the same, but only is able to damage Dwizzle.

Cleave @ Dwizzle-16 AC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

The third champion is about to rush forward when the shrieking head screeches. "Not without me you idiot!" In response, the skeleton drops its shield and grabs the handle, letting the cage swing as the head looks directly at Seherab, it's eyes flashing black.

"LET ME EAT YOUR EYES, PRETTY!" it incants as Seherab feels his vision darknening.

Fortitude Save @ Seherab | Necromancy/Curse

The skeleton rushes into the doorway and moves past the skeletal warrior in the doorway to put himself in striking reach.

Ankhef concentrates as the spirits flow out of his pack and attempt to entangle the undead.

If Ankhef gets a skeleton...
Ankhef will shout "Destroy the creature in the cage!"

If Ankhef gets the head...

"Tell us everything you know about this place!"

Dwizzle appears somewhat shocked as he is charged and nearly skewered, having sworn he had positioned himself safely behind Seh-- oh.

Nonetheless he thrusts his spear at his first attacker.

AoO I imagine? You never know, if they're DR5 he might hit for a few!

Dwizzle continues his sermon, infusing his own heroics into the tale.

"And lo and behold the heroic dwarf Dwizzle the Damaged! As he drew his foes ever nearer so that his dwarven brothers could circle about and the great dwarven champion Hogan would strike down with a blow that thundered through the air like... errr, uh, thunder?"

Dwizzle, seeing both himself and Seherab wounded works to stem their injuries.

Sorry Hogan. Need you to act as if you are under the effects of Misfortune. (Roll Twice on attacks, saves and skill checks) Thus, you need to reroll the crit and the confirmation.

As the shrieking head moves into the hallway, Hogan and Seherab find themselves affected by her disquieting presence. Her hateful glare make both of the dwarves extremely uncomfortable.

Dwizzle takes a swipe at the skeleton that moves into the hallway, slightly damaging it, before he heals both himself and Seherab.

---

Hogan and Balboa lash out at the woman's head trapped in the cage, but the way that it is being wielded makes it insanely hard to strike, so the pair look to sever the chain to anchor the woman to the ground.

After you first attempt to hit the head, you realize that the cage is being wielded like a flail, so normal attacks won't work.

Balboa takes a swing, but misses, while Hogan takes a swipe with his hammer, dislodging the woman's cage from the chain, sending her plummeting to the ground.

Effectively a Sunder attempt.

Ankhef sends out a pulse to subdue the undead as he seems to be a bit frazzled in the brain, likely from spending the night in the tomb.

Saves-DC 16: 4d20 ⇒ (15, 8, 13, 16) = 52

Seemingly against all odds, the four undead are unswayed by the powerful dwarf.

Seherab, blinded by the woman's curse, pulls out his mace and takes a swipe at the nearest skeleton, trying to fight despite his condition.

Miss Chance-High Hits: 1d100 ⇒ 70

The blinded dwarf barely connects with the tall skeleton in front of him before moving away, shattering one of the creature's tibias.

In retaliation, the skeleton follows Seherab and takes a swipe, aiming at him, but trying to cleave through him and into Dwizzle, while Dwizzle is under assault from the other.

The northern pair is coming under heavy fire as the southern pair deal with the other skeletal warrior and the mistress they all follow.

Dwizzle, once again bearing the brunt from the skeleton's cleaving strikes, snaps his fingers at one.

"Aha! I see what you did there, skellie! Well played!"

Stepping back again, he continues to wave his flag and praise the virtues of dwarfdom and Ra-Tor.

Continue sermon.

"Any chance we could, errr, drop this one?"

Dwizzle gestures towards the skeleton pursuing him and Seherab (blue).

Saves-DC 16: 4d20 ⇒ (16, 13, 3, 15) = 47

Two of the skeletal warriors seem to resist Ankhef's blast; same with the shrieking woman. "KILL THAT ANNOYANCE!" she bellows.

However, one of the warriors seems to be affected.

That spell is broken! ;-)

The blinded Seherab decides that defense is the best offense as he steps back and quaffs a healing draught.

Dwizzle, seeing that everyone, himself included, is injured, sends out a blast of healing energy to aid the group.

The three skeletal warriors launch into an attack on their same targets, but the woman tales the lead by trying to curse Hogan once more. "I WILL STEAL YOUR EYES TOO!"

Fortitude Save against a Spell; Two Save Attempts + -4 due to Cursed.

The non-blinded warriors move into a fighting position to cleave into further targets, but the blinded skeleton merely tries to hack at Dwizzle some more.

Hogan - Fortitude Save against Blindness (Roll Twice, Take Lesser; -4 to saves)

Shouldn't one of the skelies have a miss chance from blindness?Also agreed, burst of radiance is stronk. If it becomes an issue I'm happy to swap it out for something else but considering how we've been barely holding on recently I'm glad to have something powerful to contribute.

@Ankhef: I'm just teasing about the strength. :) As for the miss chance, the green warrior is blinded, but he also rolled a 1 on his attack roll. It is the struck-through attack roll.

Check, thanks.

Ankhef pauses for a moment, deciding that stabbing at the skeletons with his spear might not be the choice steps back and shouts "Hold on Hogan!" as he begins a summoning spell.

SM1

32-19=13hp.

As more of Dwizzle's precious blood sprays on the stone, he cries out.

"Alright! Enough with the cutting!"

He waves the point of his spear around at the skeletons continuing to harry him.

"I'm sure it wouldn't last even one strike!"

The woman keeps shrieking as Hogan overcomes the woman's curse due to his dwarven hardiness.

"DIE WARM-BL *CRUNCH!*"

In a simultaneous strike, Balboa holds the head in place as it hits the shrieking head, stunning it while Hogan crushes it with his earthbreaker. The sound of the skull crushing is sickening, but the battle-hardened dwarves appear immune to the carnage.

Ankhef steps to the side and begins to chant, casting a spell to summon some aid, as Seherab maintains a defensive stance due to his blindness.

Dwizzle, hoping that Hogan will deal with the threat, sends out a blast of holy energy to heal himself and the rest of the dwarves, save Ankhef.

Despite the re-death of the woman, her curse of misfortune seems to persist, at least for now. The three remaining skeletal warriors lash out and continue to try and flay the flesh from their targets.

Dwizzle continues to sermonize, finding enough breathing room after yet another step back to tend to his wounds without having to dodge skeletal swings.

Sermon continues. 5ft back. Cure serious on self.

CSW: 3d8 + 5 ⇒ (8, 7, 5) + 5 = 25

21+25=46.

Breathing a sigh of relief, he wipes his forehead.

"Whew! That was the worst of the injuries!"

Effects Active: +2/+2 from sermon; +1/+1 from flag-bearer

Hogan lashes out with his hammer as Balboa strikes, but the shrieking head's curse seems to manifest as he winces at the key moment, sending his strike askew.

The Curse from failing the save after the Bite attack from the woman gives you -4 to all d20 rolls.

As Hogan slams the ground, sending shards of stone in all directions, Balboa is able to slam into the warrior.

Ankhef, following up on Hogan's attacks, sends out an eagle which destroys the most injured of the skeletal warriors, landing two strong attacks, despite resisting some of the talon's damage.

Seherab and Dwizzle, seeing (or hearing in Seherab's case) the power of the group, hunkers down defensively.

The remaining blinded warrior continues its onslaught on those to the north, while the non-blinded one tries to take down Balboa and Hogan.

Seherab dives to the side, but Balboa takes a massive slash, sending him into a pile of rubble on the floor.

As the group continues to fight, they sense that the aura of misfortune seems to have dissipated.

Back now! Seherab doesn't have much to do anyways except as a skellie punching bag it seems.

Despite his blindness, Seherab decides that he needs to fight back against the skeleton beating up on him. He swings wildly, hoping Dwizzle is far enough away not to be hit.

Ankhef casts CLW from the wand and moves up and stabalizes our rocky friend, and becons the eagle to flank with him on the red undead and watches his eagle go all out.
