GM_Foxy's 2nd Carrion Crown

Game Master Foxy Quickpaw

The disappointed ghost casts a dispel magic on the shield of this annoying archer.

Caster Level Check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

"Muhahaha!" the ghost teases Grergof and disappears through the wall.

Also the rats continue to annoy the heroes.

Spugnoir shakes his head and tosses a bomb at the rats to catch them in splash damage.
Splash,touch,pbs: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 6 points splash damage DC 15 Reflex for half

Some days I have to remind myself that drawing his attention is what I'm trying to do

Grergof turns and walks slowly around the walls to get a little distance from the rest of the group while he tries to stay silent as he moves around the room.
Stealth: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (2) - 3 = -1

Then he scans the room lyooking for the ghost, with his eyes passing over the haunt.
Will + Pro Evil: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18

He forces his eyes away and draws another ghost touch arrow, then nocks it and holds it until he sees the ghost start to cast.
Ready action to disrupt casting of the ghost's next spell it is visable for
Longbow + Smite Evil + Magic Arrow: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 3 + 1 = 26
Damage + smite Evil + magic Arrow(ghost touch): 1d8 + 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 3 + 1 = 9

"To the nine hells with this! get ready, I'm going to bring him to us." Darius curses and moves over to Stam.

"Sorry new guy." He apologises and grabs the spellbook from the Arcanist. Darius opens the book but doesnt look inside, his eyes scanning for signs of the ghost, and grabs hold of a page in the book ready to tear it out.

The spiritual sword moves to stab one of the annoying rats since Darius is getting a little annoyed by them.

Spiritual Weapon Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Spiritual Weapon Damag: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Bad words! Must destroy bad words!

Reflex save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Reflex save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Spugnoir manages to include two rats in the splash without including his companions. One of them dies and disappears. Another one is killed by Darius' spiritual weapon.

After a while a giant spider appears in the middle of the room. This throws a net at Grergof.
Net: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 DC12 Str to break. 2HP to destroy

The remaining rats attack again.
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

And the ghost appears again throwing a bunch of magic missiles at Grergof.
Force: 6d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 4) + 6 = 22

"Grergof!"

Darius, Change your action as no one is hurt.

New Action

Darius instead uses his action to Channel Devine energy into harming the ghost. He holds his hand out and a blast of radiance goes forth. In his other hand he still holds the spell book. The Spiritual sword stabs at the ghost at the same time.

Channel Energy Harm 1/6 DC14: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 = 9

Stamp will call up his magic casting forced quiet DC 16 will save. Burning a reservoir point.

Will Save Channel: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
The holy energy emanating from Darius damages the ghost only partial.

Stam: On whom? And why? With a gesture, you muffle sound around the target, making it unable to yell or otherwise make loud noises. This does not affect spellcasting by the target.

Brother Vasrk attempts to break free from the web:
Strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

With a strong rip, he breaks the webbing around his body.
Will + Pro Evil: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14
But in doing so he glances at the wall and see that his name is being written on it.
Assuming of course the channel did not take out the haunt

Stop It!!!

He steps over to the wall and lays a hand on the wall releasing the holy light of dawn to erase the letters on the wall.
Disrupt Undead: 1d6 ⇒ 4

The letter Grergof saw disappears again and suddenly the wall seems to be out of blood.
No more will saves

yaay... Only the nasty ghost and his many summons left

Spugnoir throws a bomb for a direct hit at the spider
Bomb,Touch,PBS: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 212d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 2) + 5 = 9

The spider is hit by the explosion and the rat dies in the splash.

The ghost throws another volley of magic missiles at Grergof and then disappears again.
(Into the cell with the no. 1)

Force: 6d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 2, 4, 1) + 6 = 18

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While our heroes fiercely fight the evil ghost wizard and his summoned minions in the dark, wet and mouldy basement of the burnt prison Kendra stands in her kitchen and places the next batch of cookies into the oven. As tonight she expects a celebration of victory she decided to go for ghost (bedsheet) shaped cookies with icing and an angry face painted with chocolate.

At least fighting these ghosts will be rather easy. Together with a good cup of tea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Darius sword is hovering waiting for the next attack of the ghost.

Darius on the other hand gets a wicked grin on his face and all you hear is a ripping sound as he starts tearing pages from the spellbook without looking down.

Spellbook Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

One the next round ,Spugnoir takes out his CLW wand and taps Gregorf
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Gregrof's eyes flash golden for a second and the bruses from the missles disappear further.
Lay On hands: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Then he turns with his bow, draws forth one of his 3 remaining ghost touch arrows and nocks waiting to strike the ghost when he sees it again:

Ready action to strike the ghost when it next appears.
Longbow + Smite Evil + Magic Arrow: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 3 + 1 = 20
Damage + smite Evil + magic Arrow(ghost touch): 1d8 + 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 3 + 1 = 15

sorry misread the spell.

Stam will ready magic missle for the next time the ghost shows its face.

magic missle: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6

The ghost comes flying through the wall towards Darius screaming "Noooooooooooooooo...." as he dissolves into thin air hit additionally by two magic missiles and an arrow that goes straight through.

comprehend languages, dispel magic, false life, gust of wind, illusory script, levitate, mage armor, magic missile, and summon monster IV: 1d9 ⇒ 1
comprehend languages is ruined.
Arrow still usable DC 50: 1d100 ⇒ 12
Nope

The spider is not impressed and throws another net at Grergof
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
entangling Grergof.

Grergof is unimpressed by the net from the spider. In response he spins around, selecting a normal arrow to wing at the spider:
Bow (masterwork) - Entangled: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Just the last few stragglers left!

As he fires off the arrow, he starts scanning around to see if there is any change in the evil in the room.

The spiders life hangs on a thread after Grergof's hit.

Stam will pull out his scroll of burning hands, maneuvering himself so that he is not going to hit anyone else and unleashing the gout of flame on the spider.

Burning Hands: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Darius has a gleeful grin on his face as he stands and takes a breath and looks around to the group gathered. "Great work team."

The spider is put out of it's misery by Stam's burning hands. And eerie silence falls over everything as the battle comes to an end. And at the same time it feels like a huge weight falls of your shoulders.

And for those who have not noticed it yet: the Splatterman's ghost was done with the last page you ripped out of the book. But he got an readied magic missile and another arrow in his butt. So he is dead, dead and again dead. So I suggest you edit your post and make Stam happy by letting Levitate intact.

was that him? I was not quite ready for an assault like that. Is there more here that I should be ready for?

We won? heheheh. We won! Spugnoir is overjoyed.

Grergof looks around in dis belief for a miment then exclaims:
It's Clean!

He then drops to his knees In the rubble of the room and prays:
Thank you Everlight for empowering your servant to remove this blight from this land. May this be a blessing to all the good people of this town and if you should so wish guide me to bring light to others as you will.

Then he rises up and greets his companions with a smile.
The shadow that has hung over this area is gone. Most likely the danger here is gone too, but we should probably search this area just to be sure there are no cursed items remaining.

He turns to Stam and says:
Yes that was the ghost of the Splatterman. We probably should have better prepared you for that fight. We came in like you last time and nearly died from the summons and magic missles. You saw what just one volley of those did to me, he launched four or five of those last time. Plus with the bloody wall and ceiling falling in, it was quite worrisome.

As for anything else you should be ready for... We think this was the last of the evil spirits in this jail. There may be one more spirit upstairs, but we will check on her in a bit. If we do meet her follow our lead, she may be dead but she isn't nessesarly bad.

Indeed, she seemed rather friendly, let us get to her right awya. Spugnoir heads up with the others.

Even though Spugnoir would prefer to run off he helps looking around to speed the process up. You may define what looking around means and where you look.

Checking on the cells they are with the same stuff like the other cell visited so far. Only one of them is double the size and has no furniture. The cells to the south are different in the way that their walls are collapsed.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

"Agreed. Spug, Grergof, do one of you have her husbands badge?" Darius says as they walk back up to the ghost of Vesorianna.

Spugnoir is about to get under the door when he notices something on the far wall, it seems a door was opened! Perhaps dislodged when the ceiling collapsed?

Look over there, a door. Perhaps we could check out where it leads? Indeed we have the badge.

"We can have a quick look."

Actally no, we left the badge with her back on page 34, that's why the harrowstone got clean.

A door? nice catch Mr. Spugnoir! I totally missed that. I agree we should have a quick look.

As for the badge, I thought Mrs. Hawkran requested we leave it with her last time we talked to her. So I think she has it.

Grergof says all this while looking in the pool in the middle of the room. He doesn't want to enter the pool, just to check if there is anything more that might warrant more investigation I. The central pit he guesses is there

Yes the central pit is there. It is just full of water. In the room it is just a shallow puddle that gets your feet wet. Also please don't forget that you still have 15points of damage.

Grergof takes a look at the center of the room illuminating it with a sun rod. There is a grate on top of the oubliette like with the Lopper's cell. The light leads to something sparkling at the ground of the oubliette.

Nine damage, I think you missed counting Spuginor tapping me with the Cure Light Wounds wand.

Hey! There is something in this pool!

Darius takes a look to see what the sparkling thing is.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Stam will pick up a piece of rubble and illuminate it, he will then throw it into the pool as close to the area where Grergof had pointed out.

Think I can pick it up with mage hand?"

"I will attempt to remove it with a spell." Stam will make a grabbing motion with his own hand and a spectral hand will move into the water to retrieve the item.

It's hard to tell from 30 feet above but it looks valuable.

You indeed grab something after several tries and lift up a longsword.

Stam will look over the sword, detecting magic on it and concentrating hard to unravel any magics it may contain.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

One last little reward from this place.

"That's a fine looking blade."
