Grimjaw nods in agreement with the Sheriff and Mayor.
"Tomb open eh? I'll look into it. Goblins get in there and it'll be forever to dig 'em out."

I'll get my Sword out and at the ready

If there are new neighbors moving in it would be rude not to go meet them.

Archeak slowly got up, his night time run had exhausted him and the few hour of scant sleep he had gotten did little to help... "Blasted green blur.

Sheriff Hemlock leads you to the tomb in question. It definitely has been disturbed. He steps aside to let you lead the way.

Ursion readies his shield and draws his longsword and pauses a moment to steady himself. "Keep your eyes open..." he says, and then enters the tomb.

Opening the doors you notice quickly that the tomb has in fact been disturbed and two skeletons now lurk inside.

Round 1
Skeletons, Zariel, Golarian, Ursion, Grimjaw, Rhanloi

The two skeletons move up and attack Ursion.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15
Damage 1: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Attack 2: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14
Damage 2: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Both miss with their scimitars.

Archeak proceeds to follow the half elf wizard he met the day before and as he disappears into the tomb Archeak gets his chain out and goes after him cautiously...

I move up and swipe at goblin mcgoblin-pants.
atk: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
dmg: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

On Rhanloi's turn, if the skeleton's are still a threat, he will use his bonded ring to cast Disrupt Undead. (DC13) 1d6 ⇒ 5

Grimjaw barges inside the tomb, axes raised. On sighting a skeleton, he yells: "Hah! Now we're talking!"

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

GM since I came in behind the party consider my Initiative to be the last? Anyways if anything is still living (or unliving) Archeak will attack it with his chain

I'll move up to the side and if can attack i will do so

Stating i shall take you down in honorable combat

attack Great Sword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 = 10

crit conferm

Attack great sword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Perception: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 = 10

If any are still standing, I will move in and attack

Power attack, longsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Zariel moves up to attack a skeleton, his blade finding nothing but air as it slices through an empty rib cage. With little room to fight Golarian, Ursion, and Grimjaw can't find space to get in a blow on the undead without trying to maneuver past their defenses.

Rhanloi RT Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Rhanloi blasts one of the skeletons with a ray of holy light that causes it to crumble to the floor. Golarian seizes the opportunity to move in further and smash into the remaining skeleton, cracking bones that fly in all directions.

Rhanloi will move in to the crypt, his quarterstaff in hand a ready if needed. He will check for any residual magic and attempt to determine how these skeletons came to be in here and perhaps from where they came. He will then check the crypt for any odd symbols or markings.

Cast Detect Magic
Knowledge (Arcana) 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

A search of the vault’s interior turns up two things of interest. First, a robe lies in a corner that apparently had a number of patches on it that have all been removed. Second, and more disturbing, is the fact that the sarcophagus that contained, the former town priest, Ezakien’s body has been opened and his remains stolen.

"Missing priest eh? What do Gobbo's need with the body of a holy man?"

Investigate the robe..."I have heard of magic similar to this robe. The patches have some kind of magic, and when you pull the patch off you get an item or object, like a lantern, or a dagger. I sense necromancy from the robe - this must have helped whoever stole the priest's body and raised these skeletons. Does anyone see any tracks leading away from the crypt? The owner of this robe and the body must have gone somewhere..."

Survival (to track) 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"May be a door on th the floor" i'll state starting to poke the floor with my sword in various... "Stand back you viscous body eater!"

"I'm not sure what someone might want with his corpse, but this sort of desecration cannot stand." Ursion says, trying his best to contain his anger.

"Well - what now? Suggestions?" Rhanloi will poke around and look in the open tombs...

Perception 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Grimjaw searches the tomb itself, and then checks out the tracks.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

After some time the sheriff takes note of you rumaging around in the tomb and watches as the dwarf walks off toward the wall at the edge of the cemetary to the north. He realizes that the remains have been disturbed "By Desna.... who would do such a thing... I'll need to report this to the mayor and Father Zantus at once." He turns to walk off, but then remembers the rest of you "Ah.. thank you again for your assistance. I'll be in touch. Please get some rest, I fear there are much graver things going on than we had expected." He storms off toward the church in a hurry leaving you to your investigation or whatever other tasks you may have.

Watching Grimjaw near the wall, Rhanloi grins and calls out, "Did you find something, or do you just need a potty break?"

"Goblins. 5 of em...no, 6. And also somebody in boots, about mid-size. They lead off into tha woods. Should we try an' follow 'em?" Grimjaw says with a raised eyebrow.

"It's the best lead we have thus far! We should follow before the trail gets any colder!!"

"On Wards!!!"

Ursion nods his agreement. His usual friendly demeanor has been replaced by face filled with fury being restrained at great effort.

Once they get over the wall, Rhanloi will sling his quarterstaff and prepare his light crossbow, then keep his eyes open and his attention forward and out for signs of the goblins and for possible ambush sights.

Perception1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Heading into the woods the tracks lead to the main road heading north, past that they intermingle with many other tracks making it impossible to distinguish there continued path aside from north.

"Do we head North?" Ursion asks the group.

"Works fer me. I'm already loaded up and ready to go at any given moment."

"Let's go! I for one wish to discover the identity of the human who started this..."

Onwards! then

Heading up the road it seems that it will continue on to the north for some time, you still have no clue as to where they may have headed as the road is well traveled and all the tracks just mesh together.

ok back to the home...

"We should talk with the sheriff again and see if he has any new information..."

"Bah, bloody goblins. They'll be back."

"Let go pay visit to the Rusty Dragon to take up Aldern Foxglove's
invitation to see what hes up after we save him from certin doom..."

"also i'm looking for Daviren Hosk and the Goblin Squash Stables he ows may family a favor..."

Heading back into town you try to find the sheriff to speak with him further but find he is pre-occupied and will be available in the afternoon or early evening. You take note that the sun is approaching midday.

Time for lunch, then...maybe that lamb stew and some fresh bread! Then I'm looking for bookstores/magic shops until we can move on with our quest... Might as well set up my trade route / potential new business!!

"how about the Rusty Dragon" i'll state look toward it..

Heading back to the Inn you are well received by the patrons cheering you on or occasionally giving you applause. At one of the tables you see the noble you saved yesterday, Aldern Foxglove sitting at an empty table.

"how you doing" i'll state looking at Aldern Foxglove

"Good sir, may we join you? These are trying times, are they not? Have you heard any more about the goblin raid?"

Rhanloi offers to buy Foxglove a glass of wine; he will order one for himself regardless. A good, bold red, please.

"Aldern Foxglove I presume?" Grimjaw states with a sly grin. Sidling up to the table and taking a seat.
"Let's talk about Goblins and missing dead priests."
