Beneath the round stone trap door is a large chamber, its floor dozens of feet below. Dominating one end of the chamber is a massive stone throne, nearly twice as tall as an adult human. Numerous narrow passages lead away from the chamber, as does a much larger hall opposite the great throne.
This is where the timing of the scenario is hard to act out in PBP. This next encounter is to start one round after the first person lands on the floor. Meaning four of you are down here, and the remaining two are still floating down the shaft. With 3 rounds of floating down the shaft and then 2 rounds floating down into the room.
As the four pathfinders in the room begin to search, they hear foot steps then out of the side chambers four figures appear. Clad in the shreds of its original garments, this withered and leathery corpse has dark, empty eye sockets. Black sludge spews from what use to be its nose and mouth.
Everyone in the room feels their throat almost close up as if they are drowning. Everyone in the tomb needs to give me two DC 15 will saves vs mind-affecting. Or you begin to "drown". You can not speak or breath.

Special attacks, special defenses, and immunities/weaknesses, please. I can't tell, can we speak and breathe should we succeed on the Will save? It doesn't look like it, but if so, I'll tell the party what I know.
Forlorn tries to bring his allies up to speed regarding the creatures, but instead has to gulp frantically for air.
Some one broke out the bottom before the others could get down. Or start to get close. You chose to let go of the rope.
Forlorn, since you succeeded the save vs both sources, you can speak and breathe
Forlon knows these creatures as Swamp Mummies. You know that hey carry an affliction called Bog Rot. It is both a curse and a disease. If you die while affected, you decompose into black slime.
You realize it as the undead immunities , no weaknesses.
It took a full minute to break through the floor. Wasn't that enough time to get down?
Doubtful scowls as the undead creatures start to rise and close in all around them, fully expecting such things! He was not, however, expecting to suddenly be unable to breath, as if water were filling his lungs! But he should have!
Will save:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 Will save:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
He quickly moves around to get between Jair and the nearest, somehow getting his breathing under control as he goes, and readies to fend off the attackers in a defensive pose!
ki point for +4 to AC, then move around and readying to attack the first mummy that gets near!
ZD, could you put a line on the map to indicate where the shaft is above us? Those floating down might have options they can do from up above, just need to know what area they can see.
Shrug, its your call, just seems rather odd to seperate your party by that much when there was no need to
Thought I had posted a readied attack, sorry... hmm..
(Accidently clicked the wrong button while typing, and had to start over once... might have forgot it in the second go 'round)
Any character can hold her breath for a number of rounds equal to twice her Constitution score. If a character takes a standard or full-round action, the remaining duration that the character can hold her breath is reduced by 1 round. After this period of time, the character must make a DC 10 Constitution check every round in order to continue holding her breath. Each round, the DC increases by 1.
When the character finally fails her Constitution check, she begins to drown. In the first round, she falls unconscious (0 hp). In the following round, she drops to –1 hit points and is dying. In the third round, she drowns.
Unconscious characters must begin making Constitution checks immediately upon being submerged (or upon becoming unconscious if the character was conscious when submerged). Once she fails one of these checks, she immediately drops to –1 (or loses 1 additional hit point, if her total is below –1). On the following round, she drowns.
It is possible to drown in substances other than water, such as sand, quicksand, fine dust, and silos full of grain.
The reddish mummy appears right beside the throne and advances on the party.
The greenish mummy leaves the corridor and goes after the first living thing it can see. (Dunkel) It lifts it arm and brings it down on the dwarf. 15 points of damage and need a DC 15 fort vs disease
Jair, special attacks and weaknesses were already asked. They have 7d8 HD

A bit conscious of overusing the powers of his voice while his allies asphyxiate, Forlorn presses ahead for the team's sake. Stepping away from the mummy menacing him, he touches Dunkel's back with a healing hand and begins to warble in another tongue, inspiring his allies.

Casting Cure Light Wounds on Dunkel and starting Inspire Courage +2.
"Try to back up towards the hall." Doubtful growls, pointing to the south side of the room, realizing they will be quickly fighting on four fronts where they are.

-15hp takes away the 11temp and does 4 real, of which Forlorn heals him back to full at 65.
Dunkel nods to Doubtful's suggestion and seems like he's about to cast a spell before realizing it's impossible. Instead he swings his waraxe before stepping back.

Jair concentrates and a second self appears in her same space. Copycat, as Mirror Image but with only one image
The double Jair, knows that she's not strong enough to try to command the creatures, she has only one spell that could protect and help fighting the mummies.

Imrana instantly recognizes the swamp mummies. She pulls a pinch of sulfer and powdered garlic from her spell component pouch and flicks it at three of the mummies (red, green, and blue).
"Freeze undead abominations!"
She casts Halt Undead. If they are unintelligent, the spell automatically succeeds. If they are intelligent, they get a DC 20 Will save

Unsure why half of the creatures have just stopped, but sure they're planning something awful, Doubtful turns on the only one within reach, and kicks it a bunch of times.
Another ki point for AC, as he continues to flurry. If it happens to fall down (one can hope!) he will 5' step to the right once square.

Dunkel continues to wheeze as he struggles to inhale any amount of oxygen, his eyes darting to the others hoping they'll know what to do before he suffocates.
Images of that one dig when the ceiling collapsed and his team was buried under four tons of sand and silt dance through his mind.
But it was a glorious shaft once they dug their way out.
Nonetheless, he tries to buy everyone time to help diagnose why he's suffocating this time with no silt in sight.

"Don't worry, Dunkel, I can help you with the bog rot later," Forlorn chimes in before switching back to his warbling Goblin. He steps away, retrieving his whip and looks to topple one of the mummies menacing the dwarf.

I forgot the inspire courage. Revise Dunkel's attack to hit AC21 and connect for 18 damage. Bless doesn't stack w/his heroism, so that was properly ignored. :)

Jair moves next to Dunkel and one of the mummies blue while drawing her short sword.
She then tries to distract the creature to help Dunkel.

Jair, why are you taking a -4 on that? And you forgot the +2 for inspire courage... so would have been a success anyway!
Doubtful scowls, as the other two mummies start to react again. Concerned about all of them acting at once, he steps over towards the undamaged one, and his fists and feet start flying!
5' step, Ki point for an extra attack, then flurry (bless, prayer, bard, et al)!

Forlorn steps closer to the action, switching out his whip for a short sword, and takes a jab at the mummy next to him. He doesn't aim to (nor likely can he) hurt the creature, instead he is trying to distract it from Dunkel's attack.
Doubtful frowns as the one he was lining up falls over, then quickly moves across the intervening space, to close with the other, flanking with Dunkel, before kicking the undead creature in the side.
