Game on! So where were we?
Glancing at Searok Oh s@*!! I'm in the front.. Reaching down and tugging the vial of holy water free from her belt. "Desna let this work."
Shaeda will channel positive energy to harm the undead. It should hit all of them.
DC 14 Will save for half damage.
Shaeda's blast of positive energy washes over the undead; the one struck earlier by Makall is destroyed, and the others visibly weakened.
Emma's vial of holy water crashes into one of them, causing it to sizzle. Its bones begin dissolving and soon it collapses under its own weight. The others surrounding it all get splashed and tiny smoking holes appear in their bones where they are struck.
Closing his eyes once again he forms a triangle with his hands sending a stream of white flame towards the closest skeleton.
The flames soar over the skeleton's shoulder, leaving it untouched.
Searok attempts to strike the skeleton again.
Searok's warhammer crashes into the owlbear's ribcage, splintering it.
The monster retaliates, swiping at Searok with both claws.
The human skeletons attack as well, one at Emma and one at Shaeda.
Hahahaha, it takes a 10 to succeed!
Although it could only help Emma, Shaeda would have done it for both of her allies. I don’t get to only do it if the attacks are successful.
I should get AOO’d!
Shaeda tries to use her whip to pull the skeleton's arm away from Emma before it connects, but fails and leaves herself wide open in the process. The undead may be brainless, but even they won't miss an opportunity like this and slash at the warpriestess.
She's fortunate, however, and none of the attacks do more than scrape across her breastplate
Letting out a grunt at the blow that quickly turns into a yelp when a whip flies way to close to her
Shaeda will use her whip to aid Searok in attacking the owlbear...
Fail!
No AOOs this time, unless they have combat reflexes.
I’m all set to Bodyguard again.
Emma stabs the skeleton before her with her rapier, but it passes right between the creature's ribs to impale organs that aren't there.
Shaeda's attempt to give Searok a clearer shot is no help either.
With a nod of satisfaction, Searok will turn his attention to the owlbear.
Searok misses the skeleton, and it and its fellows retaliate.
Both Shaeda and Emma are nearly scratched by bony fingers, but Searok gets far worse and is mauled by the fleshless monstrosity.
Success
Fail
Success
It looks like the Owlbear’s 2nd and 3rd will still hit though.
Searok howls in pain as he again attempts to hit the owlbear.
Makall's blash of fire destroys the skeleton menacing Emma, while Searok gets immediate and satisfactory revenge, as his blow shatters the owlbear's skull, destroying it.
The skeleton claws at Shaeda...
...striking her once.
Shaeda will attempt to trip the remaining skeleton...
Disarm, Trip
The skeleton clatters to the floor in a heap.
Searok surceys the damage. I'd like ta say that'd be de only undead we be findin' but I won't be holdin' me breath!
Makall nods grimly at Searok's comment. "At least you will have many things to punch."
Rubbing her shoulder, "Lets hurry up so we can be done with here." My life is madness!
The only obvious way out of the room is to the south.
"At least you will have many things to punch."
Except Skeletons don't have noses, so I can't punch 'em in the nose! Searok grumbles.
Yes! Let's be on our way! Searok says as he heads south.
”One second Searok,” Shaeda says, as she reaches out to heal him...
...twice...
The passage to the south forks. To the west, you can glimpse a pile of straw on the ground, and hear two reedy voices chatting in a language none of you speak. To the east, a wooden table is visible. Covered in blood. All you can hear in that direction is a slight buzzing.
Searok points questioningly to the direction of the voices then moves his finger across his throat in a slashing manner.
Shaeda nods at Searok’s suggestion.
Foregoing subtlety, you opt instead for surprise and rush into the room. The sight that greets you is some sort of barracks or living quarters. Filthy straw pallets lie on the floor, currently unoccupied.
In the center of the room is a table, at which sit two eerie creatures who somewhat resemble gnomes, but have pale gray skin, blank eyes, and a shock of white hair upon their heads.
They look up in alarm from some sort of game that appears to involve a hammer, a pair of pliers, and a very distressed rat. For a second neither react, the rat is dropped, and takes the opportunity to scurry to freedom. Then both shout something in their funny language and lunge for their weapons.
Sighing at the refusal to even try to be stealthy. Stepping closer to the strange little men and grinning, "You know what the priest said to the ham?.. Your cured."
Emma recognizes the creatures as Derro, subterranean humanoids that hate sunlight. Although general consensus is that they live so far underground that they don't trouble the world above, that doesn't stop persistent rumors that they abduct people to perform hideous experiments of unknown purpose. Derro are known to poison their weapons with strength sapping toxins, can create areas of darkness, and are all said to be mad which renders them immune to spells that affect sanity.
"Derro shouldn't be above ground the ground like this. Be careful they use poisons. Also we cannot let them leave alive."
Heeding Emma's words Makall places his palms together and then fans apart. You watch as a burst of colour erupts from his palms at the derro.
