GM Redelia's Mask of the Mummy (Inactive)

"So we are not alone in this room then?"

The aasimar paladin held his flail tight as he scanned the room for signs of an attack.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Nothing new, Khere. So do you guys go into the room or turn around and leave?

Braydir shrugs and motions Talon towards the room, "I think they be around, just nae here. Keep vigilant friend. Let's check out that room."

"Let's have a look around then!"

With Braydir or Khere going first... with their HPs and armour and such things or Talon with his sneakiness and trapfinding.

"Alright. But I'm still keeping my flail ready just in case," Khere said with a nod.

The aasimar followed the dwarf's lead.

"And here I thought we were going to be the first in here in eons." Talon mumbles sadly. Then begins to look for hidden doors and traps and such like.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

I've moved you guys in in what I think is your usual marching order.

As you enter the room slowly and carefully, you look around. As you approach the altar to Anubis, two large spider like creatures appear, looking angry.

Everyone roll for initiative and perception, unless you rolled perception recently. Also, you may roll any knowledge rolls you want to use to find out about the things.

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

"That's a big spider.." Talon says.

Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"Aye. I told ye thar be some spiders about, I think we just found 'em!"

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Khere readied his shield and weapon as he faced their foes.

"So it seems we are fighting vermin. And here I thought we might be encountering the undead," the paladin of Anubis said with a witty smirk.

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Malik is startled by the creatures, stumbling over his own thoughts in an attempt to ready himself for battle.

I may not be able to post for a couple of days, so I am going to include my first attack here as well

Aten draws his crossbow and launches a bolt at one of the offending creatures.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Crit Confirm: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 8) = 10

Not bad for a sheltered Sorcerer!

"So it seems we are fighting vermin. And here I thought we might be encountering the undead," the paladin of Anubis said with a witty smirk.

Braydir chuckles at Khere. "Have nae fear me friend, I suspect we will have our feel of those before we be done here."

The dwarf watches the the expert skills of Malik with delight. "Well done Malik! I had nae idea ye were trained as a marksman! With ye at me back I feel much safer already!"

Surprise round:
Khere
bad guys
Talon

Round 1:
Khere
bad guys
everyone else

Khere, you may post your surprise round action.

OK, to keep things moving, Khere delayed until the end of the surprise round. The things moved around the altar.

Next up (surprise round):
Khere, Talon

round 1:
Khere(Khere, you can post for both surprise round and round 1 at the same time, if you wish)
bad guys
everyone else

Bolded characters may post their actions.

Sorry y'all. Been busy with work. And I thought I had posted something up too. :( stupid iPhone. My character will just be ready for any enemies approaching him thereby interrupting their movement. So when one of those things approaches him or tries to move past him, he'll interrupt its movement and attack it. He'll do this for both the surprise and regular rounds.

"Spiders are delicious." Talon says swinging his sword.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 vs flatfooted
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (3) = 10

Then Talon takes a 5 ft step back.

Talon's sword swing misses the spider like thing.

Now waiting for Khere to roll his attacks on the nearest thing, since it did come within range during the surprise round. If he's not able to post, I'll bot his attacks tomorrow.

Sorry at work. Trying to post as quick as possible.

Flail Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Flail Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Khere swung his flail at one of the creatures hoping to keep it from attacking the others.

Wasnt sure if I needed to post for the regular round but here goes!

Flail Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Flail Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Khere's flail slams into one of the big bugs. It's clearly badly injured, but still moves.

It bites and swings both claws at Khere.
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
crit confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Khere, take 8 damage.

The other beast swings all its attacks at Talon.
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Talon, 5 damage.

Everyone can post, Khere for round 3, all others for round 2.

The inquisitor pulls out his larger warhammer and attempts to bury it into the creature to his north, but fails miserably.

Warhammer: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Khere grunts as blood runs down his leg from the wound on his right calf where the creature struck him. Gritting his teeth, he swings his flail again.

Flail attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Flail damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Talon slashes at the spider then takes another step back.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Khere and Malik each damage one of the big arachnids. Talon and Braydir attack, but fail to do any damage.

North bug, -11 hp:
The bug bites at Khere and uses its claws to swipe at Braydir.

bite Khere: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
claw 1 Braydir: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
claw2 Braydir: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
damage 1 Braydir: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
damage 2 Braydir: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
rend, Braydir: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Braydir takes 10 damage.

South bug, -10 hp:
The second bug takes a 5-ft step and then attacks Talon.
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
bite damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Talon, take 4 more damage.

All PCs may post their next action.

Khere swung his flail yelling out a warcry as he did so.

Flail Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Flail Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Malik doesn't bother reloading his crossbow, opting instead to pull out his wand and launch a magic missile at less wounded bug.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

That's two squashed bugs, guys.

Combat over.

Khere is breathing heavily as he looks at the squashed bugs.

"That was...expected I guess. Vermin like that usually infest tombs and ruins. Ones like these are quite dangerous for explorers and archaeologists."

"Not quite so dangerous for us though it seems!" Malik grins at the others, proud of their victory. With the bugs dead he takes a quick look around the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Braydir nearly collapses from his wounds. He throws is arm out around Khere who helps him over to the wall where he takes a seat. He pulls out his trusty wand and zaps himself and then Talon. He stands back up and holds the wand in the air asks, "Anyone else need help?"

Braydir: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Talon: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Talon: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"I took some damage," Khere says.

He notices the blood seeping through his bandages where the bug had wounded him.

The dwarf nods and tends to Khere's wounds as well.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Hmm big spiders I wonder." Talon says taking a little bite.

They taste good to a bird man?

If Talon likes bugs, these should taste good.

Cool.

"Mmhm. Lunch." Talon says taking another bite. "Where to?"

Malik watches Talon eat the bugs with morbid fascination, "Does it not bother you that those are crypt living creatures?... Anyway, back through the western door then?"

Line up at the door you guys want to go through.

Talon inspects the door.
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Braydir finishes his work healing with the wand and moves back to the west behind Malik. Once they reach the door he slips in front of him waits for Talon to check the door.

Talon, you don't see anything.

Khere stays close to Talon in case something attacks. The paladin would then be able to protect the rest of the party from harm.

is anyone going to open the door?

After the last "incident" I prefer Talon search for traps and open all the doors. :)

Braydir nods to the door, "If she's safe, open 'er up lad."

Khere nods in agreement with the dwarf. He also readies his his flail and shield but as he does he hisses in pain from the wound the insect had inflicted on him.

His bandages are now soaked with blood.

Yeah that should say he needs to be healed. Khere isn't going to come out and say that he's badly wounded. He's a bit prideful.

Khere, rather than be so stubborn, you have a wand of cure light wounds, and are able to use it because you're a paladin...

Khere, I healed you for 7 above.

Oops! Miss that part! Sorry about that and thank you Braydir! My brain is fried from work! Slow day

"Yes, let's get moving!"

Talon opens the door.

A flight of steps gradually descends to the west down this
passage. Halfway down the stairs, small holes and burrowed
tunnels riddle what remains of the passage’s southern wall.
Earth and sand have spilled over the collapsed masonry,
covering the stairs with dirt and rubble. Stone doors engraved
with a golden scarab, its wings open beneath a golden sun,
stand at either end of the stairs. One of the eastern doors is
slightly ajar.

Go ahead and move your tokens in as far as you want to go. I'll back you up if needed. If you want Talon botted to go first, let me know.

Malik inspects the holes in the wall as they walk by, "Do you think these holes could have been caused by more of those bugs?"

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

I hate using my iPhone to post. :(

Khere stands at the front of the party, next to Talon so the tengu can use his disarming skills on any traps they might encounter.

When Malik commented about the hole me being made by the bugs they had just fought, Khere shrugged, replying, "I guess so. We don't even know what type of bugs those were. But if they did make these holes we should be ready in case this is their nest."

He then looked around the room still readied for battle.
