GM Zer0darkfire's Crypt of The Everflame (Inactive)

Game Master asdffghjkl01

To clarify, we came in from the North with a door to the West and double doors to the south past the two statues. Is that right?"

Ah, I see how that wasn't clear. Yeah, you came from the north from stairs, there are double doors at the south end and a door to the west.

Looking at the pressure plate, he examines it more closely.

How big is the pressure plate? Small enough that we can avoid when passing around or over it?

Only 5ft, so taking 10 on acrobatics should get all of you over it, although with your lowered strength scores, a DC 5 with ACP might be too much for Zoey and Hullric.

so that leaves west door or they take off their armor until they are past the pressure plate.

My Strength is back to normal after the lesser resto I got, so if I stow my shield I'll be able to make it on a take 10.

Acrobatics is Dex based skill. With his armor on, Hullric has an Acrobatics of -3. So taking 10 still nets him a 7. Beating the DC of 5.

Alright so you all can jump over the pressure plate. Guessing you guys are going to open the south double door?

Andy is ready when everyone else is.

Jumping over the trap plate, Hullric looks over the statues before opening the double doors to the south.

When Hullric approaches the wide brass doors, they swing open on silent hinges to reveal a vast crypt. The only light emanates from a torch mounted above the crypt, flickering with a pale golden fre. Tall pillars march across the chamber, ending at a dais on the far side, on which is set a large stone sarcophagus. A single form rests beside the coffin, that of a comely woman in tattered clothing. She appears to be asleep or unconscious.

"So, Kassen’s heroes have come to fight me again. You will make fne minions in my army of the dead. Come and meet your fate." With that, a wicked-looking skeleton strides into view wearing polished mail and brandishing a cruel sword in both hands. A cold blue flame burns in its empty eye sockets.

Asar moves into a position of cover and orders his skeleton honor guard around.

Nothing interesting for knowledge checks here. Asar is simply an intelligent skeleton champion.

Andy begins to sing..."My friends and I have come to fight, evil creatures we will smite. Your reign of terror soon will pass, once we have finished kicking your....buts."

basic inspiration: inspire courage: +1 H/D; +1 vs. enchantment/fear.

Hullric begins chanting as the lantern symbol on his necklace begins to glow a bright shining light. "Oh look what we have here. Oh the Lantern King will shine light on you. Oh let the undead be guided toward the light."

Hullric then steps forward with his dagger glowing.

Standard: Cast Divine Favor +1 H/D; (10 Rounds)
Move: 15'

Zoey twirls her sword in her hand and charges down the stairs, positioning herself in the thick of things.

Double move

Although he knows it's not the best tool for dealing with skeletons, Reggie also suspects he might have to give up his fancy new lance when they get out of the crypt and back to the Pathfinder Society. It would be a real shame if he didn't give it a try and it looks like this might be his last chance.

Rowdy is eager enough to get at more bones when Reggie touches his flanks and the halfling lowers his lance for a CHARGE!

Lance plus Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 = 24
Damage plus Ispire Courage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 4) + 6 = 16

Reggie charges forward and literally explodes the skeleton he rams with his lance into bone dust.

"To me you worthless pile of bones! And drop those useless blades, you have claws for a reason!" Asar yells at the skeletons in an attempt to bog down Zoey.

Skeleton 1 Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Skeleton 1 Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Skeleton 2 Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Skeleton 2 Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Skeleton 3 Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Skeleton 3 Claw, Confirm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Skeleton 3 Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Zoey deflects, blocks, and parries almost all of the skeleton's swings, but one manages to get a lucky blow on her while she isn't focusing on it.

Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Oloch moves with full speed in the direction of Zoey!

Asar sees the threat in front of him wielding a weapon capable of smashing his bones and he hisses as he attempts to disarm Zoey's shield.

Disarm, Flank: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32 and he does so well, Zoey drops the targeted shield and her sword, leaving her defenseless and weaponless in the midst of the enemies.

"Foolish hero, let us see how you fare without your precious shield!"

He then follows up with a claw attack hoping her reduced defenses prove to make her an easier target.

Claw, -5 secondary, Flank: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 but even without her shield, Zoey's grey maiden plate is more than enough to thwart the blow.

The fact that Zoey's shield is strapped to her arm really throws Asar for a twist, but the surprise is hard to read on his bony face.

As discussed, treat the strap on the shield as a weapon cord: move action to ready the shield to be used.

There's no room to use his lance again and, with a heavy sigh, Reggie lets it drop, pulling free his halfling sling staff as he urges Rowdy toward the next closest skeleton. At the same time, he imparts guidance on the group, calling out methods for knocking their opponents off their feet. And that includes Rowdy.

Free action to drop the lance. Move action to draw his halfling sling staff. Standard action to use his tactician ability to give everyone the Tandem Trip Feat.

Tandem trip - Whenever you attempt a trip combat maneuver against an enemy threatened by an ally with this feat, you roll twice and take the better result.

Rowdy was a little disappointed that he didn't get a chance to bite the last walking bone treat. He's glad that there are still some others that he can go after.

Reggie provides some strange taps can calls and the wolf realizes that his best pal and his best pal's new pals are all going to help set him up to knock creatures down. He takes a bite out of the skeleton he gets next to.

Bite plus Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
Damage plus Inspire Courage plus Trip: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Trip Attempt 1 if Bite Hits plus Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 1 = 12
Trip Attempt 2 if Bite Hits plus Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Andy continues singing(free), moves closer to the battle(move), and tries to hit one of the skeletons with his sling...

Andy has Point-blank shot but not precise shot. Please adjust for any cover.

[dice=ranged attack vs. "orange"]1d20+3+1+1-4[/dice]
possible Blunt damage: 1d3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Hullric rushes forward to help Zoey and uses the hilt of his dagger to bash at the skeleton's skull.

Dagger +IC +DF -Improvised vs Orange: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 20
Bludgeoning Damage +IC +DF: 1d6 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7

Move: 10'
Standard: Attack

Zoey glares at the skeletal champion for the insult of removing her weapon from her hand. She adjusts the shield so that it can fit back on her arm, winds back, and lashes out at the offending skeleton.

Swift action declare Asar the target of my challenge, giving me +1 to hit, +1 damage and +1 dodge bonus to AC against him, -2 to AC against other targets.
Shield Bash: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 22
Damage: 1d4 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 7
Due to Shield Bashing, Zoey's AC is reduced by 3.

floats in front of Zoey to be her shield!

Reggie gives his team (mainly Rowdy) the ability to trip things better.

Rowdy gets really confused by his sudden understanding of common and strategy and misses the skeleton in front of him.

Hullric smashes the skeleton flanking Zoey.

Andy's sling bolt goes wide and strikes the wall.

The ghost of Stigand gives Zoey 5% concealment as he briefly flickers into reality! Only because I doubt it will do anything, but it sounds great!

Zoey readjusts her grip on her shield, spins and cracks Asar square in his wickedly-grinning face.

"Go around, hit her from behind!" Asar commands his skeletons.

One of them shambles around (5ft step) and begins clawing with Asar's flank.

Concealment Claw Skeleton 1: 1d100 ⇒ 81
Concealment Claw Skeleton 1: 1d100 ⇒ 88
Claw, Skeleton 1, Flank: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Claw, Skeleton 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The two skeletons both manage to land a hit on Zoey due to her incredible focus on Asar.

Is Asar the "red" enemy?

Is Asar the "red" enemy?

Yes.

Oloch shouts "Ahhh, Taste weapon!!"

He makes a small step forward and attacks Asar with his greatsword!

greatsword damage, inspire: 2d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6) + 5 + 1 = 13

Oloch shouts "Ahhh, Taste weapon!!"

Best...Battlecry...Ever.

Oloch slams Asar with his greatsword and lands a great blow, but the sharp edge doesn't prove to be as effective against the boneman as it would normally. DR/Bludgeon

"How dare you strike me, hero!" Asar hisses at Oloch as he brings his longsword down on Oloch two-handed.

Longsword, Power attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Asar lands a hideous blow on Oloch and the warpriest slumps to the ground, unconscious.

"Oloch! No!" Reggie shouts as another of his adventuring companions is dropped low. Fortunately, it does not seem like it is an immediately lethal blow and he knows there is plenty of healing to be had. He can't get to the main threat, though, as there are too many friends and foes in the way.

Instead, he has Rowdy shift so that one of the honor guard is between him and Zoey and makes a swing to crack open its skull with his sling staff.

Halfling Sling Staff Clubbering plus Inspire Courage plus Flanking: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 27

Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 12
Crit Damage?: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"For Stigand!"

Rowdy is quite embarrassed by his lack of success in biting the bony man. He redoubles his efforts to prove himself worthy of the others in his pack.

Bite plus Inspire Courage plus Flank: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 21
Bite Damage plus Inspire Courage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Seeing Oloch drop from a viscous blow, instead of attacking the skeleton in front of him and draws his wand and touches it with Oloch.

Wand of CLW on Oloch: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Move: Draw Wand
Standard: Use Wand

Zoey shifts her stance, grabbing the edge of her shield with her free hand and lashes out with it at the back of Asar's head as his attention is on Oloch.

Shield Bash: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 9

Andy keeps on singing(free), moves forward(move), and launches another sling bullet...

[dice=ranged attack vs. "Blue"]1d20+3+1+1-4[/dice]
[dice=possible Blunt damage vs. "Blue"]1d3+1+1[/dice]

Again, point-blank but not precise shot feats. Please adjust for possible cover.

"Will you guys hurry up, I'm missing second lunch."

Reggie and Rowdy smash one of the skeletons to bits with their combined attacks.

Hullric brings Oloch back to consciousness with a tap of his healing wand

Andy's sling bullet misses its target, but his song continues encouraging his group to heroism.

Asar parrys Zoey's shield bash attack with flick of his longsword.

Oloch is quite confused how he ended up on the floor but he grabs his weapon and tries to hit Asar from his prone position.

"Enough of this from you!" Asar yells at Oloch.

Asar then tosses his longsword over his shoulder and attempts to disarm Oloch.

disarm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 which he succeeds at doing and is now holding Oloch's greatsword in one clawed-hand.

Claw attack: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 4 = 31
Claw attack, Confirm: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 4 = 19
Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 6 = 12

not sure I can do all this...

Andy continues singing(free), takes a 5' step, removes his backpack(move), and takes out his last cure light wounds potion(standard).

NOTE: Last round of Bardic Inspiration available today. No more 1L spells left either.

Ragged and bleeding but unwilling to abandon Oloch, Zoey raises her shield high, keeping one eye on the skeleton behind her ready to defend herself.

Total Defense. AC is now 26 against Asar, 23 against Black.

"What's going on? Does Oloch owe this guy money or something? Heh...OWE-loch," even in the direst of circumstances, Reggie is a good halfling and sees no need not to see humor when it's there.

He and Rowdy move a bit closer to the main skeleton, getting his underling between them and Hulric. It worked so well last time, he goes to knock this one over the head, as well.

Halfling Sling Staff Clubbering plus Inspire Courage plus Flanking: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 13
Clubbering Damage plus Inspire Courage: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Rowdy cocks his head to the side. His hackles rise. Things are not going to his liking. But he has his best pal Reggie with him, so he has no worries that they'll be able to handle the situation.

Bite plus Inspire Courage plus Flank: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 9
Bite Damage plus Inspire Courage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Trip Attempt Version 2 (this time with flanking and Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 12

Noticing Oloch is in even worse condition this time after the skeleton leader's viscous attack, he once more touches Oloch with his wand.

Wand of CLW on Oloch: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

hehe... really glad I have a Wand of CLW.

Reggie and Rowdy can't seem to find their mark and both miss their attacks.

Andy keeps signing and pulls out a potion. I don't believe you need an action to remove your backpack before you pull something out of it, so just take the move action to pull out the potion, leaving you with a standard.

Zoey shields up before the might of Asar, hoping her skill with her shield will prove to be enough to deflect any more attacks.

Hullric heals Oloch a great deal, but the mighty warpriest is still unconscious, but his bleeding stops.

The remaining skeleton goes after Zoey, following the basic concept of defending Asar.

Concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 90
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
But both claw's smack into Zoey's raised shield.

Oloch dreams of becoming stronger and fighting more powerful enemies that can continue to knock him down, but leave him wanting for more.

Asar, having only one remaining threat in front of him, attacks Zoey with his new greatsword, however, he holds back a little, hoping to make his attack more accurate to get around her shield.

Concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 100 but Stigand's ghost flashes in front of Asar's bony eye sockets and his attempt fails!
Just to see if he would have hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 nope lol

"What trickery is this! A ghost that is helping you and not serving me!?" Asar yells in frustration

Standard action from last turn, pour potion down Big-O's throat

CLW potion vs. Big-O: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Andy draws his rapier(move), takes a 5' step, and attacks "black"

possible Piercing damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Go Team Venture!

Force feeding an unconscious creature a potion is a full-round action. I'll say you did it this turn though since your attack missed.

Ok. I didn't know that but should have looked it up. I moved my character back in place on the map.
