GM Sior's PFS Crypt of the Everflame Module (Inactive)

Game Master Sior

rolls for aforementioned readied attack

Cestus, power attack: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 1 = 3 for bludgeoning: 1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7

Darren and Nijena ready their strikes when Kuran draws them back down the hallway.

Meanwhile, one skeleton slashes with claws at the swimming halfling! One claw scratches her a little, letting blood into the pool! "I hope there are no sharks in here!"
1 Blossym, 2 Kuran: 1d2 ⇒ 1
Claw on Blossym: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Claw on Blossym: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

I'm sorry, I have to do this because when else would one do this??
Another skeleton, unable to get at the adventurers, steps down and throws its sword at Blossym! Even awkward, it cuts into Blossym before sinking to the depths. The pain staggers the halfling!
Thrown scimitar: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 2 - 4 = 14 for 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
I can't believe that frikkin' worked!

Blossym treads water some more and is able to back away from the skeletons where none others can get to her. "That last one almost took me out. Don't worry about me! Save yourselves! Then come back for me! Think it's time I got a drink of that water!"
Swim: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Order
Red, Orange
Nijena, Darren
Green, Violet
Blossym, Kuran

Kuran withdraws, visibly shaking from fear.

Withdraws, no AoOs.

Kuran withdraws and a skeleton follows! Nijena quickly smashes it down! But that just leaves room for another to follow! It moves in, deftly avoiding the attack from Darren, and swipes a claw at Nijena!
1 Darren, 2 Nijena: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Another moves closer and swipes at Darren from around the corner!
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 MISS due to cover

Party up!

Darren bites and punches at the skeleton.

Darren bites into the nearby skeleton, but it still stands!

Nijena smashes her flail at the skeleton.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Nijena swings and misses the skeleton!

Blossym tries to paddle to the side of the pool, but tenses up from her wounds and sinks below the surface!
Swim: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Kuran!

We rested before coming downstairs, right? Then Kuran has his spells back.

"Oh no! Blossym! W-we have to save h-her! Iomedae, grant us salvation!"

Bless.

The skeleton in front of Darren and Nijena swipes claws at Nijena!
1 Darren, 2 Nijena: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Blossym struggles beneath the surface of the water. The bubbles over her head are getting fewer and fewer...
Swim: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Party up!

Nijena dances between the skeleton's claws, thinking she's on the lucky side she smashes the flail at the skeleton which just attacked her again and again but is not able to connect.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Darren punches and bites at the skeleton.

Nijena misses the skeleton again, but Darren bashes it to dust with his cestus!

The skeletons file down the hallway of death... or, undeath. The new nearest one swipes claws at Nijena!
1 Darren, 2 Nijena: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 MISS
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 MISS

The other steps in to swipe at Darren from behind the corner!
Claw: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 2 - 4 = 0 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 MISS
Claw: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 2 - 4 = 13 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 MISS

Party up!
Beneath the surface of the pool, Blossym struggles to reach the surface again. But the wee one still struggles against the water!
Swim: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Kuran whimpers.

Can't do anything. Ready action: the last skeleton falls, use Relentless Footing to get speed to 30 ft and move over to the pit.

"Stupid think, just return to the dead again!" Nijena shouts and frantically swings her flail again.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

hopefully that drops the bones to dust

It does! Only one left! Go, Darren, go!

Darren steps into the hallway and tries to smash the skeleton with fist and jaw.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The skeleton falls to pieces! What's become of Blossym, though?

NOT out of combat. Kuran! (If you're here)

-Posted with Wayfinder

See previous post by me.

Oh, right!

Kuran runs past the others to the pit to see if he can't find Blossym. Her form is obscured by the murky waters!

1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (17) + 1 - 3 = 15[/spoiler]

As Kuran looks, he sees Blossym surfacing! When she gets up, however, she is face down and limp. A very fresh slash decorates her body, though she seems to be stable.

It is a simple task to get her out of the pool.

Out of combat!

"If the water doesn't help, I can give her some healing!"
Lay on hands: 1d6 ⇒ 4

All that remains in the room is the flooded pit and the large wheel at the end of the hall.

Taking Blossym back to the fountain, you administer the water and she regains consciousness. With a start, she looks about, fighting fit once again. "Skeletons!" she cries. "There were more in the pit! I couldn't swim away! I... Am I dead?"
2d8 ⇒ (8, 7) = 15

"N-no, you're not d-dead," Kuran says, shaking, "we b-better get you b-back to the f-fountain." With that, the tiefling begins to carry the halfling to the fountain to let her take a sip of healing water. Before entering the electric fungi cave, though, he lowers Blossym back to her feet, walks through the room to make sure it is safe, and then return to get the wounded halfling to much needed healing.

After that, he'll return to the skeleton chamber with Blossym.

was there anything else in this room?

"Shall we take that door to the north next?"

-Posted with Wayfinder

Just the wheel at the south end of the room with chains running out of sight into the.... ceiling or floor, whatever I said before, haha.

Kuran comes over to the wheel and examines it to the best of his abilities. "N-no, Darren, one room at a time. Some evil ones could j-jump out from these pits if we are not c-careful."

Perception (take 20): 20 + 7 = 27

Kuran finds the bridge to get to the wheel and sees nothing peculiar. Actually, it looks like a gatehouse wheel, one used to raise a gate, drawbridge, or portcullis.

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Better not t-touch this until we know what it might open..." Kuran says, "or... maybe it'll drain out all this water. Maybe. Be ready to r-run."

He starts turning the wheel, counter-clockwise.

If the wheel requires a strength check, take 20.

Nijena prepares to run, just in case Kuran is right again.

Kuran's effort yields no results as the wheel refuses to turn.

Darren tries to help Kuran. If nothing comes of it, he shrugs. "The other room, then?"

Kuran tries to turn the wheel the other direction. If that does nothing, Kuran shrugs and nods to Darren. "Y-yeah, other room."

Is there a way to determine where the water is coming from? If the doors to the flooded room don't open, we'll move to the Stenchy direction.

Turning the wheel in the other direction yields immediate results as it moves the chain. After a few rotations, you hear a mechanism latch into place and the wheel stops moving.

Looking about, you see no indication of where the water is coming from. The only clue available to you is the dripping sound coming from the room with the jammed doors.

what effect did moving the chain have?

-Posted with Wayfinder

No obvious result has occurred.

"By t-this logic I just closed something," Kuran ponders out loud, "possibly a flood gate, o-or something like that."

The tiefling moves to the jammed door and does whatever it takes to open it. (Strength? Take 20 = 20. Or then have someone else, like Nijena, try strength on the door.)

Darren follows Kuran's lead, aiding in whatever way he can.

Paizo ate my post!

The room is filled with water, probably as deep as the outside corridor. The chamber is in an advanced state of decay, with a gaping hole in the ceiling admitting a constant trickle of water.

The three stone sarcophagi in this room are almost completely covered in a thick carpet of moss and fungus. Atop the nearest sarcophagus is a man-sized frog.

He licks his froggy lips and, if it could speak, would ask Who ordered delivery?

I'm not at my laptop. Everyone please roll initiative.

Okay, home now.
Blossym: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Darren: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Kuran: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Nijena: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Order:
Kuran, Darren
Frog
Blossym, Nijena

Kuran and Darren have a jump on the frog!

Given the opportunity to surprise the frog, Kuran dashes over behind the frog, a sword already drawn (of course, we're in a hostile dungeon), and attempts to stab the odd, dangerous-looking frogthing.

Mwk longsword - str penalty: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 - 2 = 141d8 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 2 = 3 vs. flat-footed

"D-Darren! Formation! Room for others!"

Darren moves into the room "Finally, something I can skewer!"

-Posted with Wayfinder

Both warriors move in and hurt the frog! It retaliates by biting at Kuran! Its froggy maw stops just short of biting him.
1 Darren, 2 Kuran: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Bite!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 for 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Blossym looks nervously around, unsure she wants to try swimming again...

Nijena up!

Nijena moves up to the frog and swings her sword.
Longsword vs. Frog: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Nijena moves in and slashes the frog to ribbons!

That's when splashes are heard in the room! Two more frogs surface from beneath the water and move towards Kuran and Nijena! One bite misses Kuran while a sticky slimy tongue wraps around Nijena and pulls her towards its owner!

Bite on Kuran: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 for 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 MISS

Tongue vs Nijena touch AC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 Grab: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Party up!

Blossym splashes forward, but is already partially submerged. So she tries to swim to the nearest sarcophagus. Tries being the operative word. At least she is still afloat!
Swim: 1d20 ⇒ 6

"Darreeeeen!" Kuran shrieks, turning around and looking at the frog in horror. He studies it a bit, then wildly swings his sword at it.

Mwk longsword + ST - str penalty: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 71d8 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 - 2 = 7

After his fumbling he takes a step back.

"I'm coming kid, pull yourself together!" Darren says as he vaults over the nearest sarcophagus. He lands on the other side with a splash and then drives his rapier at the frog.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Fumbling indeed, the water creates it as difficult terrain. Still wish to move?

Darren moves in and stabs the frog, but it just croaks angrily at the wound!

Yes, Kuran moves. AC 20.
