Pushing
Nangi gives each of the Pathfinders a "small" sack of gold (which weighs 9.5 pounds, each, actually!) containing 483gp, though for some reason Tcreese's only contains 358gp (and weighs only a little over 7 pounds). (Only commenting on the weight, assume the coinage is more condensed, such as it being mostly platinum, etc. Also, Tcreese is out of sub-tier)
Following Nangi, the team makes their way up the river for about an hour. Eerie singing echoes from a strange pyramid rising up out of the swamp. A crumbling stone spire at the peak of the pyramid reaches for the heavens.
Nangi leads you through the ruins to the base of the pyramid-shaped temple by canoe. "You go forward. I stay here." he says.
You're just trying to burn my long term buffs, Silbeg ;)
As they approach, Slammu splits another Longstrider, Greater between himself and Jaws (4.5hrs/9hrs), followed by Heightened Awareness (45min/90min) then begins surveying the area.
Does it look like we're going indoors/it's getting dark? I'm between Darkvision and Resinous Skin.
At Edward's query, both Jaws and Slammu pull out pouches of diamond dust.

Shen nods at Edward and retrieves one of several small pouches from within the folds of his robe. Then gestures that he can quietly move forward should the mage like.
If given the ok, Shen can stealth and move forward to scout.
The monk will kneel and inspect the terrain - looking ahead for potential dangers, and for the best approach.
Yenven, holding his weapon one handed, after disembarking from the canoe, twirls his open hand and creates a glowing humanoid like form. <dancing lights> He tries to make it look like Tcreese flying around.
"I can keep something like this running if desired?"

Jaws nods at the command as his tiger stripes fade and his ears and eyes begin growing, his bull-like nose combining with his batlike eyes and crocodile Jaws to create a terrifying sight.
Waiting for Tcreese and any buffs he might need. Tactical has been tentatively updated.
The inside of the pyramid has been torn apart by a powerful force. Piles of bricks and stones are all that remain of altars and benches. Cracks in the walls let in natural light. A gaping hole has torn apart the floor, providing an entrance to the unlit temple basement below.
After all the fiddling he pulls his bow and looks at everybody, "Long day, let's go. I like pyramids." As a near afterthought he rummages in his pack, pulls out a set of earplugs, stuffs them in his ears and says, "Bad song, remember?"
He creeps forward checking the room once over seeing if he can sense any traps, magical or otherwise.

As the team explores, and tries to be stealthy, several spectral, horrifying figures glide silently up from under the floor, as if it didn't exist, surrounding the party. They see you all, and it is apparent that you are all now targets for their pent up rage.
Not an enchantment. Fear.
As the creature moans and howls, the Tcreese, Slammu, and Jaws are all three overwhelmed with fear. (All three are panicked
As it is standing right next to Shen, the green creature moves to flank, and then reaches its hand out to touch the Tien monk. As it reaches to him, it sings, "The shadows call out for souls." Its hand reaches into Shen, and suddenly wounds open up all over Shen's body. Wounds long since healed re-open, and Shen appears to age years in a moment.
Tcreese drops his bow, throws his hands above his head, and yells, "YOUR ALL GOING TO DIEEEEEEEEEEE!" His scream trails off as he disappears into the distance.

When a soul is not allowed to rest due to some great injustice, either real or perceived, it sometimes comes back as a ghost. Such beings are in eternal anguish, lacking in substance and unable to set things right. Although ghosts can be any alignment, the majority cling to the living world out of a powerful sense of rage and hatred, and as a result are chaotic evil—even the ghost of a good or lawful creature can become hateful and cruel in its afterlife.
They are incorporeal undead. Their touch will instantly age and harm the target. Their moan can cause panic.
Yenven adopts his kirin style, infuses his +1 fauchard with "ghost touch" 1 point from mental focus, and m-flex activates: power attack. he also 5' steps adjacent to Edward.

Shen winces having fought ghosts before. Glancing down at his amulet he knows what's about to come.
Adopting an offensive pattern he unleashes an assault he once learned during the Quest for Perfection.
Flurry of Blows, Greater Swift Action
Exploit Weakness:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29
Spoiler:
At 4th level, as a swift action, a martial artist can observe a creature or object to find its weak point by making a Wisdom check and adding his monk level against a DC of 10 + the object’s hardness or the target’s CR. If the check succeeds, the martial artist gains a +2 bonus on attack rolls until the end of his turn, and any attacks he makes until the end of his turn ignore the creature or object’s DR or hardness. A martial artist may instead use this ability as a swift action to analyze the movements and expressions of one creature within 30 feet, granting a bonus on Sense Motive checks and Reflex saves and a dodge bonus to AC against that opponent equal to 1/2 hismonk level until the start of his next turn.
Attack Rolls [ooc]Subtract 2 if Exploit Weakness does not apply
Shen attacks the red ghost a whole lot of times. He hits with his first two attacks, misses the next two, and finally comes back, and lands a final blow. 10+14+11=35 damage dealt by Shen He grimaces with each attack as the feedback hurts him as well.
Vicious damage:3d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 5) = 12
The blue ghost then attacks Jaws, moaning, "“Beg, beg for pain. The Midnight Lord will show his might.” Somehow, the ghost manages to miss.

Then, Tcreese screams and runs away, screaming "Ga-ga-ga-ga-Ghosts!" at the top of his lungs. (withdrawal maneuver)
Jaws, also shrieking, follows his master out the door. Unfortunately for him, even if he were intelligent enough to use the maneuver, it wouldn't matter due to its location.[/ooc]

The green ghost steps up towards Shen, wailing, “Learn to welcome the chains.”, and waits. Red then steps through the wall to get a flank, at which time Green attacks Shen. Red attacks Shen directly after that. Both manage to miss the nimble monk.

Edward smirks as the ghosts fail to bypass the monk's nimbleness nor mage armor. "Embracing Envy has worked out well for me. However... the Midnight Lord will not get what he wants this day."
don't forget mage armor applies vs incorporeal touch - I'm waiting until duskwalker posts to take my turn."
Yenven moves into the room, past the two ghosts near the entry, and positions himself at reach(w/o drawing an aoo from green), behind the green ghost and swings:
The pink ghost drops down under the floor, and then pops back up next to Duskwalker. (no AoO, as it is coming up out from total cover) It reaches out to touch Duskwalker. However, it manages to miss him.

Attack RollsSubtract 2 if Exploit Weakness does not apply, once or if green falls, I lose flank and exploit weakness on red.
Shen attacks, hitting Red once, and the ghost goes away. He then hits green once, and it goes away.
Shen takes 9 damage... the rest of the attacks are moot.
The Blue ghost drops down below ground, and then pops up next to Duskwalker. But (the GMs dice have gone cold, and) he is unable to touch the half-elf.
