GM Pox's "The Mummy's Mask" (Inactive)

Game Master WerePox47

Hadjii steps away from the door, and quietly reports:

"I see three girtablilu, in some sort of foundry -- I think one of them is Rubila! Perhaps we should knock politely...does anyone have any Avon products with them? Those are always good for a nice bonus on Diplomacy checks after ringing a doorbell..."

Hadjii then uses his Gloves of Reconnaissance on the walls on either side of the double doors, to see into the rooms north and south ( to the left and right) of his position.

"I suppose that amulet we found on the dead one in the desert would be just as good..."

Hadjii see's to his right:

The dust of centuries lies heavily over everything in this room. Three bare wooden easels stand angled toward each other. A small table nearby holds the remains of several dried-up paint pots and a few wooden brush handles, their bristles eaten away by time.

To his left:

A stone staircase leads upward at a steep angle.

Ard your curse is permanent until removed by spell..

The Hadj points at the door on the right (south wall):

"I think the room behind this door is not used..."

then points to the left:

"...and the girtablilu are guarding some stairs behind this wall that are accessed from their room."

drood ain't got no Remove Curse on his spell list...

Don't currently have Remove Curse prepared, but will fix it the next day.

"Should we try to talk with Rubila?" Marius shrugs willing to go with either option.

Arduino shrugs. [b]"You would know more about her than I do, friend... regardless, we do have an opportunity to strike quick and sharp like the fey; I can carry some in but a moment through the door and into combat.

Dimdoor available

As the group talks about what to do Logos's amulet starts to glow blue, detecting the undead coming closer.. It informs Logos its coming from the room to the right..

Yalls move..

Hemket will hide and get ready to shoot.

stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (4) + 23 = 27

"Maybe we should deal with that undead first and talk with Rubila second. If we do get into a fight with her I don't want an undead to be right behind us waiting to pounce." Marius readys himself to head into the right room and gets the power of his god ready to channel and harm the undead creature.

The adventures ready for the undead, but it never comes.. It seems to have stopped inside the room..

"Everyone stay back, I'll see if I can find out what kind of undead it is so we can be better prepared. If it can't see you, it shouldn't react, it can't notice me until I attack it."

Logos has permanent hide from undead now, so he should be fine cracking the door and looking, as long as nobody else is near to be sensed by the undead.

And yeah, sorry about the attack mods being off again. Just remember he usually spends to avoid penalties on the PA.

Everyone moves back a bit before Logos opens the door.. You see:

This beautiful, ghostly elven woman glides through the air, her long hair flowing around a face knotted into a mask of rage.

She has a +31 perception so no chance she doesn't notice the door open. Ntm Life sense for your companions once the door is cracked..

Will: 1d20 ⇒ 13

The Banshee see's through your Hide from Undead..

The Banshee's snarls and begins to wail. Everyone minus the animal companions need to make a Fort save DC 23..

If you make sure save you are sickened for Rounds: 1d6 ⇒ 4, if you fail you take 140 damage..

Init Order depending on what happens.

Banshee
Hemket
Logos
Hadjii
Sheeba
Marius
Ard
Kin

Everyone is up!

how come Hadjii didn't see Banshee when he Reconoitered the room with his gloves?

1d20 ⇒ 2

Hadjii is dead.

She wasn't in the room at the time.. That was the whole Logos's necklace senses an undead getting closer thing. You never stated you re-inspected the room and he opened it.. I changed nothing from the module on this one. And depending on what everyone else does save wise you might not be dead..

Fort: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

Logos rages as a free action as the scream goes off.

21/141

Logos closes the door on the scream, if possible, to save his companions.

You can't rage on an opponents turn your at -22 but stable.. Is everyone gonna roll a 2? Sure hope not..

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

With a gasp, Arduino manages to push through the scream's shock and looks around in horror as his new friends fall.

Not gonna post actions just yet I suspect we might want to discuss stuff.

Except you forgot your -4 to saves from being cursed currently.. A mythic point could still get you there though.. Im gonna give Marius some time to post this morning before botting. If the group survives this yall might wanna reconsider buffin saves some more. Yall are getting into the level range where spells/abilities really start to suck if you fail them.. With yalls WBL there's really no reason not to be sporting +5 cloaks of resistance and possibly a cracked green ioun stone for another +1 to saves.. Heroism spell is also really good duration..

Also forgot a little tidbit.. As Logos goes down his amulet flashes white and he is healed..

5d8 + 15 ⇒ (5, 2, 8, 3, 7) + 15 = 40

So instead your up and at 18hps Logos..

Tch thought I'd factored them in.

Ok looking at your sheet you have +8 to fort not +5 that listed on your header.. So -4 your at a +4, rolled a 19 for a 23 and you make it. Might wanna fix your header. It also appears you have heroism spell known.. An extended one at you level will last 3.6 hours. Be a good idea to use it imo.

for me, the higher the bonus the lower I roll...

It's a good lesson it buffing your defense as well as offense. Also that buffs should be used to there full potential. Im sure you all will live to learn the lesson..

fort: 1d20 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (9) + 13 + (5) = 27

Marius and Ard manage to fend off the wail while Logos just eats its and his saved by his amulet.

Hadjii unfortunately is killed the effect.. Unless yall have a Breath of Life scroll.. Even then the roll would have to be high.

Everyone thats alive is up.. The Banshee is still in the room..

Someone roll for Hemket plz.. I don't wanna bot someone into a death lol..

Hemket: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Logos charges the banshee, not wanting to let it scream again, as they cannot afford that!

I run heroism on Kin to save slots, and I try to stay back.

Arduino takes a deep breath and swallows his grief. He moves his hands in practiced motions, calling forward his roc ally with a twist of the head.

Haste on everyone who needs it
Swift action myffic for Beast's Fury to move Kin within range of the Banshee

Kin lashes out at the screaming creature.
Bite (Mythic) 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Wing Crit 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Think I took all the good rolls

Logos roars and attacks the Banshee. All of his attacks hit but do only half damage due to its incorpreal state..

Hemket lands 3 arrows, again doing 1/2 damage..

Kin lands a bit and a series of talon and wing attacks..

The combine effort sends the mad elf to the double death zone..

Out of Combat..

You have a dead druid..

To save yall the effort on what to do Ard just burn a mp for a teleport back to Wati. The head priest lady will raise Hadjii and cast restoration on him. Hadjii you still have 1 level drained till a week passes and you owe the high priest 6k gold, which you can pay out of wbl when you level.

After burning another mythic point Ard and Hadjii return to the group.. Sheeba looks less sad and Hadjii has a slightly pale look to his face..

I do have plenty of myffic points. At UMD +21 I probably have enough to bluff my way through a scroll of raise dead/breath of life too? Worth picking one up?

Yes.

DC for a breath of life scroll is... 29. And seems I'd need to get a 10 to emulate the ability score necessary. Not impossible.
GM, I'll buy one scroll.

Active buffs
Active Buffs
Arduino- Greater False Life, Mage Armor, Heroism
Kin- Greater False Life, Mage Armor, Heroism, Shield Other

The head cleric also hits you with a remove curse while your there Ard.. Just keep track of gold spent. If you go over wbl a little that fine, just remember to take it off when you level.

I'll make the change on my sheet tomorrow. Scroll's within my wealth.

Actions?

Search the room.

perception: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30

You find a mwk set of paint brushes, 300gp value and a one use of marvelous pigments..

"Could use some healing, after we're done reviving our friend..."

I assume it's a day that passes, and fully healed before we come back?

Actually the trip to Wati and back is short. If yall wish to take a day thats yalls decision..

"Thank you so much for the ready transport, Master Aduino -- I am certainly glad there was a priest on hand to bring me back! I will never forget that horrible noise -- it is well you quelled it for good...

Hadjii will use a Mythic point to cast Cure Serious Wounds on Logos:

CSW: 3d8 + 12 ⇒ (4, 3, 1) + 12 = 20

and then give him two Goodberries to finish the heal.

10th-level Hadjii is ready to continue -- he had only used a few charges from his Gloves of Recon before he died, so most of the rest of his powers are OK -- and he has a couple of 6th-level spells prepared (although now he'll only be able to cast 'em as a 10th-level caster)...

"So are we now going to try and talk our way through the other room?"

Will Marius's gloves of restoration cure Hadjii's negative level?

Marius nods at Hemket. "I think so, but just in case be ready if they decide to attack." Marius will wait for the group to get ready before opening the door to Rubila.

"I'm generally less ready for talking personally. "

You can only remove 1 pema neg level per week, so Hadjii will be gimped for 6 more days.. Pretty sure Logos is still heavily damage as well..

Yall opening the door afterwards?

Once everyone is shipshape yes, but we should pick the negotiator. I expect it will be Marius.

Logos would not open the door until he's fully healed up again.

Just waiting on a concensus plan of action and any extra healing/buffing before I move forwards..

I say no more buffing for the moment, just open.

Converting Bane, and Bull's Strength to CLW and CMW to heal Logos. Then we should be ready to go correct?

CMW: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (6, 5) + 8 = 19

CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Logos was at 19 of 119 hit points. He's been healed for 20+19+8 = 47 hp, leaving him at 66 of 119 hit points, so no, he's not ready to go...
