Sandy swings his ax hard with both hands on the skeleton attacking Maddie

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Nakhti takes a 5-ft step to L10 and heaves his bardiche at the nearby skeleton.

Power Attack with Bardiche: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

confirm critical: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

critical damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Han casts a spell and you notice his gauntlet hand glows with a soft blue light. He walks up to Maddie and lays his hand on her shoulder. The light fades as she feels the healing magic flow through her.

CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"You should get back before they do that again." He advises.

Sandy swings, but his axe does little to no damage.
Atum swings and his bardiche destroys the skeleton,
The skeleton that is destroyrd blows up into a firey ball, burning all who are near.

1d6 ⇒ 3

Atum, Sandy and Maddie take damage. Make a Ref. DC 12 for half

Ref: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Ref:: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Still smoldering from the fire attacks, Maddie nods to Han in thanks and acknowledgement, before stepping back 5 feet away from the skeleton.

Moving to L14

Ranged bludgeoning weapons are the best mundane way to hurt it. She offers to group before pulling forth positive energy again in an effort to damage the remaining skeleton.

Channel positive energy to harm undead (DC 13, 2/5 left): 1d6 ⇒ 6

Bow
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Yeah I got nothing, so consider me holding action until I am needed

I know this is out of order but I am about to nod off so here is Sandy's action for after the skeletons

Hearing Maddie's advise Sandy holds his ax to the side with his left hand and draws his club as he steps up to the last remaining skeleton.

club attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

I'll go ahead and post mine too since I'm heading to bed.

Power Attack with bardiche: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Sorry didn't have a chance to post earlier.

Maddie channels more positive energy, causing the skeleton to burst into a ball of flame. Luckily no one was near enough to be burnt by the last one.

Looking around the room, you see that it encompasses the west and south wings or lobes. Two stone altars, one black and one white, sit at either end of this large chamber. The crumbling remains of wooden benches sag in front of each altar beneath rotting ceiling tapestries. Carved symbols and writing snake along the walls. the burnt corpses of two troglodytes lie on the floor in the center of the room.

"So that is why our scaly friend bypassed this room." Sandy says looking down at the burnt Trogs. "I wonder what this is all about. Any ideas?" He says looking at the alters and walls.

Religion?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

"No idea. Could mean anything." Han looks at the walls with confusion.

Maddie seems satisfied and relieved when the last of the undead creatures falls, her attention turning to the other hurt party members. Let me take care of the burns. She opens herself up as a conduit to the positive energy plane again, this time healing those around her.

Channeling to heal (1/5 left): 1d6 ⇒ 2

Thank you for healing me, they were a little more potent than I was initially expecting. She says to Han with a slight smile.

She then looks around the room at Sandy's question, attempting to interpret the decor as well as search for anything valuable or interesting hidden in the room.

Knowledge (Religion)?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

"You are very welcome. We all make.. miscalculations. As long as we learn from them, then things are fine." Han smiles back.

Between Maddie and Han, the two decide that the room was once a shrine to Nethys. The writings on the walls are quotes from Nethys's holy book. The black altar represents destruction, while the white altar represents protection. The altars still contain their silver services, worth about 100 gold pieces altogether. In addition, a divine scroll rests on each altar.

She nods simply in acknowledgement to Han, leaving it at that.

Glancing at the scrolls, Maddie wrinkles her nose. I'm afraid I've come ill prepared to deduce the magical writing on these scrolls.

Shrugging her shoulders, she turns to take another greater look at the room. It's strange there were those abominations here. I wouldn't have expected undead guardians in a shrine to Nethys. Apparently, neither did the troglodytes.

"As have I. Perhaps someone else brought the undead here?"

Mayhaps I can delve the mysteries of these scrolls, if I may see them Maddie Birgit holds out her hand to receive the scrolls, upon handing them over you feel her skin to be slightly colder than normal.

Casting Detect Magic, Read Magic and Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Birgit is able to discern that the scroll on the black altar contains the spell, Shatter, and the scroll on the white altar contains the spell, Shield Other.

I suppose we can just hope they were the only undead in this location. I won't be able to do much more direct harm to them until I've had some good rest. I will have to return later to cleanse this place of their taint, or, at least, inform some followers of Nethys about it. Assuming the tower doesn't completely collapse soon.

She gladly hands the scrolls over to Birgit, looking her over inquisitively at the chilly touch. After the other woman has discovered their purpose, Maddie nods. Thank you. Perhaps they might be of some use. Although I'd be lying if I said I hadn't hoped they would be more directly beneficial. I'll keep them, unless someone else thinks they might make better use of them.

She turns her attention to Atum and Sandy. Unless there is anything else, where shall we go next?

Is this the only room on this level? If so, Nakhti stands near the staircase. If not, he stands near the door to the next room.

Atum is standing sentinel near the door. "Forward" he says with militaristic authority.

I am back, thank you for your patience. Everyone go ahead and state what you are doing. This appears to be the only room on this level, it is comprised of the north and west lobes/wings

Sandy starts to lead the party up the stairs keeping track of the trail of blood, keeping his ax at the ready.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Stashing the scrolls away into her backpack, Maddie follows the group up the stairs. ”It would be prudent to be wary of an ambush...” She utters softly, mostly to herself, as she readies her crossbow.

Han will just nods at Maddie's words as he follows the group along.

i'll fallow bow out tree slightly behind me....

Atum walks up front with Sandy, keeping his ears open.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Birgit follows in tow with the rest of the group.

The party follows the stairs up the the next landing, on the landing is a closed door. Sandy was able to follow the tracks and blood drops to this landing and discern that the Trog continued through this door.

Anyone have any actions?

Maddie stands in her position in the marching order, waiting for someone ahead to open the door or continue in some other fashion.

Han is also waiting for one of the brave frontliners to open the door. He taps his foot expectantly.

Ill grow implancent and open the door... Tree man just behind me

Whispering: "He went through this door, ax at the ready."
Using his ax, Sandy will ease open the door.

As Sandy and Silviana open the door, the party is overwhelmed with a noxious stench. The party sees four troglodytes in the room ready for battle. Silviana, Han, and Birgit begin to cough and retch from the awful smell emanating from the room.

COH slumber hex at whatever troglodyte I can see. Birgit utters once again with the familiar icy chill in the air.

Birigt chants icy word and points to the nothernmost trog.(Trog 1) It begins to blink it's eyes and suddenly drops it's javelin and sits down on the floor, apparently sleeping.

Will: 1d20 ⇒ 13

The other trogs pause for a split second, shocked by their companiion's reaction, before they release a volley of javelins at the heros.

Attack 2: 1d20 ⇒ 19Sandy
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Attack 3: 1d20 ⇒ 13Silvi

Everyone is up, feel free to post out of order, I will sort it out.

Han, Birgit, and Silviana have the sickened condtion

MAP

Han while successfully keeping his lunch down pulls a wand out and uses it to heal Sandy. "Feel free to go get them."

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Atum walks up to K12 and swings at Trog 3 with his bardiche.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Birgit points the blue tinted finger at yet another trog. And speaks her words of power yet again. COH

”Ah, more troglodytes. How lovely.” Maddie comments, frowning from the odor. Leveling her crossbow, she fires at the troglodyte closest to the sleeping one (Trog 2).

Crossbow attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Silvana will cast guidance on the tree then move to n11 while the tree will move to k13 and attacks

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Sandy moves to J11, and swings on T2

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Han produces a wand and heals the ranger, Sandy,

Atum steps forward and swings his bardiche, but the trog dodges it at the last moment.

Sandy steps in front of Atum and swings at the same trog, this time hitting it squarely in the side.

Silviana orders her companion to attack while she steps to the side and watches it smash into a trog.

Maddie looses a bolt at at the trog Sandy hit, but the bolt narrowly misses.

Trog #1 awakens and stands, brandishing his club.

Attack 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14Sandy
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Here is Sandy's Action
Swinging the other end of his ax back at Trog #2 sandy shouts:
"Die you snake with legs!!"
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Do all the trogs look alike, or is there one that looks like it is in charge?

I'm not sure if you still want us to post out of order, so my apologies if not.

Worry creases Maddie's brow as the situation starts to look a little grim against this larger group of troglodytes. Bowing her head and clasping her holy symbol, she prays to her goddess Pharasma for a bit of her favor.

Maddie casts Bless. Everyone in the party gets +1 to attack rolls and +1 on save throws vs. fear effects for 1 minute (10 rounds).
