Sorry. It is a little bit misconceiving. Yellow ad Green are still sliding their lids open and waking up. Currently the only two out of their tombs are red and blue. Redirecting your attack to Red.

Lovec fires a well placed arrow into he red wight. It loks like it is nearly going to fall over at any moment as it leaps at Jasmine.

Slam vs Jasmine AC 14: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

The wight narrowly claws at her exposed skin as the blue wight attempts to stand in the mass of grease...

reflex DC 16: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

...And continues to fall all over the sarcophagus. The green wights lid finally slides completely open as another joins the ranks.

Round 2 Holy Weapon Balm; Shared Defense; Power Attack
Barral advances on the green wight to the west ...
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 for Slashing: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 6 = 10 and Holy: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8
with an additional Holy: 1d4 ⇒ 4 next round unless it succeeds on a DC10 Reflex save.

Riggs fires a Splintered Spear at the unattended blue wight, and then headed to the east, away from the scrum around him.

RTA 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Damage 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

the target takes 1 point of bleed damage each round on its turn, but I'd imagine undead are immune to that effect.

Barral rushes to the green Wight as it is still climbing out of it's tomb as he nearly hacks it in half with a single strike from his holy embalmed greatsword.

Riggs hurls a spear made from tree root at the blue wight. The spear strikes the wight through its side as it flounders around in the grease.

Yes, Immune to bleed

Round 2
Lovec

Seeing the red wight engage Jasmine, Lovec pivots and fires two arrows at the (blue) wight to the south.

Rapid shot, blue: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 2 = 16
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3
Rapid shot, blue: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 2 = 4

Jasmine keeps up the pressure on the undead creature, not giving it a moment to rally, lashing out with her blade, trying to sweep under its ribcage.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage: 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 5, 6) + 4 = 16

Lovec is able to stick an arrow into the blue wight as it thrashes about. jasmine is not as lucky as her size seems to be causing issues in the narrow chamber, causing her to miss.

Jaren rushes in behind Barral with his longspear.

Longspear: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Jaren is able to strike the prone wight. Jaren's spear stabs through the creatures stomach and up its torso. It thrashes about one final time before falling still.

The northwestern crypt begins to grind open while the blue wight tries to get its footing.

Reflex DC 16: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Getting back to it's feet the two ghouls rush and claw at Jasmine and Riggs.

Red Slam vs Jasmine AC 14: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 + 1 negative level

Blue slam vs Riggs AC 13: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The wight slams into Jasmine. She feels her strength quickly sap away from her body as the wight itself seems to be rejuvenated.

Riggs moves 5' to the north east, getting clear of the threatening wight, and again fires a Splintered Spear at the blue wight.

RTA 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Damage 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Round 3 Shared Defense
Barral moves back out toward the Blue Wight attacking Riggs and tosses a vial of Holy Water at it ...
Range: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 for Holy: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3
... Or Splash Damage: 1 = 1

Lovec pivots, aiming his bow at the next foe to reveal itself.

Rapid shot@yellow: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 2 = 20
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1
Rapid shot@yellow: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 2 = 15
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

ooc]Jaren.....Jasmine? You two still with us?[/ooc]

I'm trying to let the people who are a round behind me catch up. I'm still here.

Roomates didn't pay net bill so processing via phone

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 5) + 4 = 13

Lovec fires a pair of arrows at the yellow wight. Only one is able to barely nick the undead. Barral slips in the deep water and his vial of holy water cracks against the wall near the wight. Very little of the holy water splashes against the wight causing it to screech in pain.

Riggs summons forth another magical spear from the roots poking through the cracks of the crypt. The spear pierces the blue wights abdomen.

Stepping up Jasmine finishes the red wight in one final blow.

Jaren turns, and continuing his inspiring words, jabs at the wight.

Jaren's spear blasts a hole clean through the blue wight's chest ending it's unlife once and for all.

The yellow wight leaps from it's sarcophagus at Lovec.

Slam vs Lovec AC 15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Grasping his bow Lovec smashes it across the wight's body, hurling it out of the way and avoiding the blow.

Threat: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 if Confirmed: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 1) = 10

Riggs delays to see if the others could finish the last undead without having to use more magic.

Barral tosses another vial at the remaining Wight. It strikes it across the face, hissing and popping at the rotted and unnatural flesh.

Jasmine moves in to help mop up the remaining enemy but slips in the stagnant water instead.

Jaren jabs at the remaining wight, letting his words fall quiet.
Last round using Inspire Courage.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Lovec scrambles, dropping his bow and drawing his sword, with one practiced movement.

Longsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Lovec and Jaren team up on the remaining wight, easily severing it in two separate halves.

All around you whispers and moans begin to rise from all around the chamber.

Level up to lvl 4. You have 1 round of actions that you can do before next effect goes off.

DM, it might take me a day or two to get leveled. It is a crazy week for me.

Riggs casts Mage Armor, wondering why he hadn't done so before!

Will level tomorrow. 9 Rounds of inspire left.

As the party feels itself grow slightly stronger the center sarcophagus cracks open and fills the entire chamber with a blinding dust. In it's wake stands a powerful undead creature. Arturic himself seems to have risen as a black shadowy form with little more than two flickering pinpoints of light where it's eyes should be.

Arturic lets loose a high pitch shrill scream mixed with anger and pain as his shadowy hand plunges into Barral.

Incorporeal touch vs Barral tch AC 11: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

I finally got Riggs leveled up, DM.

Know. Religion 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

"Watch yourselves, that's a wraith! Don't let it touch you, or it'll steal your life force!"

Riggs casts a magic missile at the monster.

Damage 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4

Round 1 Shared Defense; Bastion of Good HP 19/29
Fortitude DC17: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Barral shakes off the ill feeling from the wraith's touch and triggers his Bastion of Good Ability AC24 TT14 and half damage to allies,
then takes a 5ft step back to drink his vial of Ambrosia +2 save vs neg energy/drains/death for 1 hour

As I have leveled up GM to a new spell level, can I cast 3rd level spells for this fight?

A 4th level Druid can't cast third level spells unless I'm missing something...

Good point, got my character sheets mixed up :/

Lovec is now leveled up.

Lovec turns to face the newest threat, swing his sword at the abomination.

Longsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

I haven't leveled up yet. I've been busy with a last minute move to Florida. Will have Jaren leveled asap.

Barral shrugs off the debilitating effects as the wraith's shadowed hand lurches into his chest. Though the group's eyes go wide in fear as Lovec's blade passes right through the incorporeal wraith, not harming it at all.

Seeing this all happen Riggs blasts a pair of twin holes through the shadowed form, angering it further.

Don't forget that entire room is water filled difficult terrain.

Jasmine

Barral (31/37)
Riggs

Jasmine casts Burst of Radiance at the wraith.
Burst of Radiance: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 1, 1, 4) = 9

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Dazzled rounds: 1d4 ⇒ 2

The wraith screeches in pain as jasmine's spell takes effect, though it doesn't seem to injure the incorporeal shadow as much as she thought that it should have.

Jaren powers his longspear and steps away from the creature in the water to get a better angle. As he steps back the wraith reaches out for him.

AoO vs Jaren AC Tch 12: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Neg Energy Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Con Drain: 1d6 ⇒ 6 DC 17 Fort save to negate con drain

Jaren's skin turns grey as he jabs his spear at the wraith.

Longspear; arcane strike; pwr att: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 1 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10

Jaren swipes his spear through the shadowed wraith, tearing a gaping hole through it's coalescing form.

Angered Arturic lies past Lovec, Barral and Jasmine as he reaches for Riggs' throat. Provoke from Jasmine, Barral and Lovec

Incorporeal Touch vs Riggs AC Tch 12: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Neg Energy Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Con Drain: 1d6 ⇒ 5 DC 17 Fort save to negate con drain

With each strike the wraith seems to grow more powerful as he drains energy from Jaren and Riggs.

Jaren (8/9; -6 Con drain)
Barral (31/37)
Riggs (19/22; -5 Con drain)

GM, a five foot step doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity, and Jaren wouldn't take anything more than that, especially considering he's carrying the +1Flaming Burst Longsword. Sorry for the delay levelling, moving is taking longer than expected.

That being said, Jaren's actions for this turn would be to take a five foot step back, go into "fighting defensively", and begin Inspire Courage, so that he can use Chord of Shards or Saving Finale when needed. There are absolutely no circumstances in which I'm ok with one of my characters provoking an unnecessary AoO from something as strong as a wraith.

Round 2 Shared Defense; Bastion of Good AC24; Power Attack; Inspire Courage HP 31/37 <- After leveling
Barral quickly ripostes ...
AoO: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 = 24 for Slashing: 2d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4) + 9 + 1 = 15
... then follows the wraith while he reverses direction for another cut.
Greatsword: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 17 for Slashing: 2d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2) + 9 + 1 = 15

Fort 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Riggs moves 5' to the southwest, getting clear of the threatening wraith for a moment and again fires a Splintered Spear at It

RTA 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Damage 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

That wraith does not take reduced damage even on a successful save

@Jaren you cannot 5 foot step as per Here and Here (Reminder) the entire room counts as difficult terrain. If you wish to use your Flaming Longsword you can. I can retcon. I was just going off the only weapon I saw on your sheet that would damage the incorporeal wraith and it had been a few days so had to push forward.

@Jasmine- It is Incorporeal So it takes 50% damage from all magic weapons, spell, SLA and effects unless they are of the Force type

As with Lovec's blade earlier Barrals mundane non-magical blade also seems to simply pass through the wraith with no harm.

@Riggs- You cannot 5 foot step in difficult terrain so stepping back with provoke. Are you sure that you want to?

Yup. That'll do it. I forgot about it being difficult terrain. Damn. We'll stick with what you did, and on my next turn Jaren will move farther back as long as it doesn't provoke again (the map won't load for me right now, idk why) and start inspire.

Fortitude Save to Avoid Con Drain: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Knowledge Arcane: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Knwledge Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Trying to discern weaknesses.

Much like Jaren, I forgot this was difficult terrain. I'll try a concentration to cast defensively check, if that's okay.

Cast defensively. 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 4 = 17

Jaren does not remember a whole lot about wraiths. He knows that they are extremely deadly and become powerless in sunlight.

Casting defensively is fine. That will make it though your ranged attack will still provoke. Just wanna make sure thats what you wanna do while we wait for the others.

Riggs (19/22; -5 Con drain)

Can I withdraw to the south west to try to get away from the creature? I can't take an AoO and hope to survive long.

IIRC Withdrawing does not provoke. Don't go too far though, any evocation spells / protection from evil are going to be really crucial to this fight

I think I can withdraw to the square just left of Barrael, which should keep me in range of the good stuff. I hope, lol.

Yup- You sure can withdraw :). thats why I wanted to make sure.

Lovec, Jasmine and Jaren are still up.

Thanks for clarifying with me, DM. Eating an AoO from that thing would've been a disaster.
