Semar will move ahead to check the side room.
you all find 4 tencacled horrors dungeoneering dc 20 to look them up
and it is mess in here, turned table and chairs.
they aren't paying attention, instead munching on dead bodies and causing havok.
everyone gets one surprise round from their positions
casts Haste.. on all his allies
with her sword drawn Kaydanna rushes in to protect her companions and fight the tentacled spawn. She spends a move action to see if these tentacled creatures are evil...
With her allies in front of her keeping her from taking opportunity attacks from the evil creatures, Ingrid will raise her bow and unleash an arrow at the one in the far corner (NorthEast), after going into a rage.
Semar will draw his dagger as a free action, use archeologist's luck as a swift, and stab the northwest horror as a standard.
He will then take a 5 foot step out of the groups way.
heroes get some good hits on the enemies and they turn towards the heroes looking hungry
horrors
Sharathiel
Kaydanna Krysstalla
Zatqualmie Darksprocket
our kasatha
Semar Kalanul
seths character, Ikit Klaw
Round 1 start
Ingrid, taking advantage of the haste cast by Sharathiel, will unleash a volley of arrows at the same horror, using both bows in all four arms (top right on the map):
She then five-foot steps back from the doorway to leave room for her allies.
Kaydanna summons the holy power of her faith to smite the evil creatures adding holy blessings to her weapon ......and swings her Elven Curve Blade at the closest foul tentacle..."IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY AND JUST!"

casts Mirror Image as Standard Action and then moves between Kaydanna and Semar in front of the beast to be able to full attack next round.
As he moves next to Semar Semar, move to your left so we can keep the firing lane clear for Z and Ingrid
"Don't block my sword swing."
"Don't block my sword swing."
If possible after casting Mirror Image, I delay my move til after Kaydanna has completed her attack.
Sharathiel will move in front of whichever of the 2 beasts on the Left side of the map that Kaydanna is not attacking. Hoping that we engage both of the monsters at the same time to avoid having our backs turned to one of them and thereby not presenting easy targets
-Posted with Wayfinder
Semar will use arcane strike as a swift, 5 foot step, and continue his assault.
after much effort, heroes finally destroy one horror. then they retailate and are ready to eat
as the move forward slap you with tentacles, while one gets a full attack.

and if you were only hit once you only took 8 dmg.
The rat quickly throws two vials at the creature, erupting in a large blast of fiery death!
ikrit hits the creature square, and also splash another one nearby, thus preventing them from regenerating at the end of the round.
round 2 start
Ingrid steps back from the door and fires at the horror directly in front of the door. On her first attack of the round, she pulls back both bows at once, then she alternates between the two bows for each subsequent attack.

At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapon attacks.

At 2nd level, whenever a magus casts a spell with a range of “touch” from the magus spell list, he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack. Instead of the free melee touch attack normally allowed to deliver the spell, a magus can make one free melee attack with his weapon (at his highest base attack bonus) as part of casting this spell. If successful, this melee attack deals its normal damage as well as the effects of the spell. If the magus makes this attack in concert with spell combat, this melee attack takes all the penalties accrued by spell combat melee attacks. This attack uses the weapon’s critical range (20, 19–20, or 18–20 and modified by the keen weapon property or similar effects), but the spell effect only deals ×2 damage on a successful critical hit, while the weapon damage uses its own critical modifier.
Spell Combat + Spell Strike+ Haste=+14/+14/+14/+9 (1d8+15+1d6(cold)/15-20/x2 S)+Spell Dam
My first attack to hit will add 4d6 Vampiric Touch damage. A miss will not cause the spell to be lost.

yep Zat, ignore all damage you were about to take, or add it back if you took the damage. Sharathiel, you were the one being attacked
and after several hits to the horror, he damages several tentacles and its face, but it is still going.
oh yes for round 3 ingrid, semar and Kaydanna, you are up. Ikit is also up to finish his round 2
then those things for round 3
then Zat and Ikit for round 3
Semar will 5 foot step forward, reactivate archaeologist's luck, and attack the nearest one.
Ingrid will five-foot step and then full-attack shoot at the tentacled horror who has taken less damage (which Kaydanna is currently attacking).
Kaydanna continues to strike at the same creature as she struck before...

okay so you all finish off the monsters and they turn into puddles of paint when they die, as if that is what they were made of in the first place. You see broken tables and chairs and papers scattered all over the floor, but nothing of interest in this room. You can see in the room south of here is a beautiful dining table with lots of chairs and the wood has been untouched. The room south of here has no mess at all.
What do you do now that the battle is over?
Kaydanna spends an action to heal herself...
"thanks Zee. . I'm good for now. " Shar sets loose an Ioun Stone that begins circling his head.
After casting Detect Magic he begins scanning the rooms .
-Posted with Wayfinder
Kaydanna will Detect Evil on the room as well, that might lead to a clue. In addition she looks around the room.
Ingrid searches along with Zee, hoping to find some useful tomes.
Shar pays special attention to the puddles of paint. . Monsters dissolving into paint upon death. Now that's just weird.
Still using detect Magic
-Posted with Wayfinder
okay, so as you all check out the room, all you see is that the papers are paintings and drawings on paper and some notes about the paintings and drawings, none of which are important. And there is no treasure here either.
Zee says, "We may as well proceed as a group to search the whole house. Let's go in the room to the south and circle around from there."
---------------------------------------------------------------------Following Zee through the house concentrating on Detect Magic
"What are the chances there are traps in his house. I can't recall if he ever used them. Just want to know if I should be in front or you Zee for the traps."
"OK then lead on."
