When hands attack!

The hands charge at their pray!

Attack Aaziroth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 1d1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Attack Talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage: 1d1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Attack Korair: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

CMB Aaziroth: 1d20 ⇒ 18

CMB Talon: 1d20 ⇒ 16

CMB Korair: 1d20 ⇒ 14

The hands crawl up Talon, Aaziroth and Korair and latch on to the throats of Aaziroth and Talon!

Talon and Korair you get AoO's. As does Zui if you have a weapon out.

Halor
Madge
BG
Aaziroth
Ziu

Ziusudra attempts to aid another Aaziroth:
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

"I'll help you, sir paladin!"

Talon chokes as the undead hand grabs his throat, but his annoyance with Aaziroth is still clear. "Maybe...I...ackk...have a...glll...deathwish!"

The rogue stabs at the creature choking him, but has a hard time hitting it.

MW Dagger AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 111d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

MW Dagger Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 91d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

One other thing...the one attacking me moved through a threatened space from 3 other characters...do they get an AoO on it?

Ready goes off. Attacking the one on Koriar.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Aaziroth glances over his shoulder to make sure he doesn't run into Ziusudra. He turns back towards the hands just as one lunges at his throat. Caught by surprise, he drops his sword in order to pull the thing off.

CMB: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13 +2 for Ziu's aid

Halorn swings at the hand but Koriar gets in the way and his swing misses. Talon swipes at the hand attacking him but the thing is too nimble! Ziu tries to distract the hand to help Aaziroth hit it.

Round 1
Talon
Korair
Halor
Madge
BG
Aaziroth
Ziu

Oops, I typed my attack bonus as +4 instead of +5 and I can't seem to edit it now. Let me know if that +1 makes a difference. Sorry about that.

If it was at +2 yes but the +1 still just misses. That's the drawback of reach, allies provide cover.

No problem. Totally understand about cover--figured there might be a chance I missed by 1.

Aaziroth makes a grab for the hand and is able to pry the hand from his throat.

[blue -6]

Round 2
Talon
Korair
Halor
Madge
BG
Aaziroth
Ziu

Still choking, Talon tries to pry the thing off his throat with his dagger.

MW Dagger Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Green is in the square adjacent to Madge, so her ready went off

Attack with Gladius: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
...not that it appears to matter

Taken by surprise by the speed of the hands, Madge swings early and completely misses.

Steadying herself, she tries to distract the one on Koriar.

"Hey, Halorn! Try hitting this one, yah!"

Aid Another (attack, target AC 10): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Halorn has a plus +4 to his next attack on green

"Tactics! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!" Halorn shouts in approval.

Move action: Pull in chain, no reach, no cover?
Attack (Green Hand): 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 4 = 18
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

"Wow... this damned things are fast!" He exclaimed as the hand crawled towards him. Seeing the opportunity, he attacked.

Attack (Heavy Flail): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage (Heavy Flail): 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

His first hit did not connected, but a second one could strike true.

Attack@green (Heavy Flail): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage (Heavy Flail): 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

If the Green one is done, Koriar will 5ft step forward, giving Talon flanking.

Halorn ends the crawling days of one of the hands while Koriar ends the one on Talon! The remaining hand attacks Aaziroth.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage: 1d1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

CMB: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Round 2
Talon
Korair
Halor
Madge
BG
Aaziroth
Ziu

Ziusudra moves back as previously requested by his fellow Pathfinders.

Aaziroth draws his dagger and tries to stab the hand.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Aaziroth scores a good hit but the hand holds on by its fingernails.

Round 3
Talon
Korair
Halor
Madge

Aaziroth
Ziu

Now that he's not being choked by one of the creatures, Talon steps forward with both daggers and tries to impale the last one.

MW Dagger Attack 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 sneak stab: 1d8 ⇒ 8
MW Dagger Attack 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 sneak stab: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Not sure if I can flank it or get sneak attack on it otherwise. If not, just ignore the extra damage.

5' step up and swing

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Talon steps up and finishes off the last hand!

Where too?

"Man, I'm all for lookin' for loot, but that pile looks pretty nasty. Hey! If any of that is fresh, then maybe this is being thrown down the shaft. If all the detectin' is now clear, maybe we ought to take a look."

If the detecting is clear, then Halorn can go down the hallway and peek in both directions with darkvision.

"So, cooooool. Pity we couldn't save one for study."

"Not so cool when it's attached to your windpipe, kid!" Talon responds.

He pulls out the wand he had used earlier and heals his wounds.

"I think this pile of gore is directly related to our mission here, and the reason I didn't want to go around. I wonder...should we try climbing up here? This seems to have been dumped from above. Perhaps what we seek is directly above us. Anyone bring a grappling hook?"

UMD: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

When Halorn looks he sees 2 hallways heading into darkness.

Everyone under the hole make me a perception check.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 boom

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Aaziroth sheaths his dagger and picks up his sword. "Find anything in that pile?" he says to Talon as he searches.

Nothing in the pile but you do hear someone speaking to themselves above you.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Madge holds her gloved hand up to her ear to listen about for anything while she glances about.

you do hear someone speaking to themselves above you.

Quietly and reverently, the wizard whispers: "Sarenrae? Is that you? It's me, Ziusudra."

Talon holds up a hand.

"Shhhh!!!" he whispers. "Someone is...talking up there. It's soft but I can hear it. That isn't something we should have in a crypt. Unless it's more undead. Still, this pile of gore makes me think we're close to something."

"I could potentially climb up and check it out."

climb: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 What's the DC to climb up here? Are the walls smooth, or are there handholds anywhere? Can I get up to the place the voice is coming from?

As Halorn walks back, he looks carefully at the group. He counts the people, and then counts again on his fingers. After a moment he says,
"Hey, don't you guys know you should never split up the group?"

"I could lower a rope," Talon offers.

Aaziroth frowns when Talon indicates voices from above. He attempts to peer up with his darkvision to determine who is speaking and where they are. Do we see any stairs?

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

The rubble gets you about halfway up then its a small jump to grab the ledge. So that would be enough. Also Halorn and Aaziroth notice stairs far to the right.

"Stairs you say?" The wizard looks up. Then he looks at his spindly arms. Then he heads towards the stairs.

Aaziroth listens to Talon's plan then looks at the potential climb and his armor. "The problem would be if you get attacked with us still down here. It could take some time for us to get to you. I think we are better off staying together and taking the stairs," he whispers to the group.

Okay, so the stairs look like they go in the direction of the voice? Let's do it!

Talon looks at the stairs. "I'll check it for traps..." he offers.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Go move down the hallway, seeing no tarps, when suddenly from the alcoves skeletons with bow appear!

And they fire at the party.

Arrow Aaziroth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Arrow Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Arrow Halor: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 4 = 18
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Arrow Korair: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 4 = 7

Round 1
BGs
Party

Ziusudra starts summoning.

Madge waits for the frontliners to take advantage of their clear charge lanes before moving up.

Madge will delay until the others in front of her go, then double move 40 feet down the hallway

Talon groans at the thought of facing more of the mindless undead that seem so resistant to his knives, but advances cautiously.

double move

Talon, did you do a full double move? I only counted 7 squares for myself

Halorn moves up, keeping pace with Talon.

I didn't want them to 5' step and hit me since my AC is not so hot. So no, I didn't. You are welcome to pass me.

Doh, needed to be 5' closer to reach on a charge :(

Aaziroth hears the clank of an arrow bouncing off of his armor. Turning to find the source of the attack, he's frustrated that the skeleton's are too far away for him to reach quickly. Raising up his shield, he does his best to stay behind it as he begins moving down the hall.

20' move with Total Defence (+4 AC).

Sorry for the absence... busy holydays.

Koriar moves forward, taking care not to be struck by an arrow.

Damn it... it is in these situations where a shield would be handy...

"Fire while you can... I crush you when I come close!"

Total Defense for a total of AC 20

When skeletons attack

Arrow Aaziroth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Arrow Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Arrow Halor: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 6 - 4 = 11

Arrow Korair: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 6 - 4 = 21
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
The 2 in the front then drop their bows and raise vicious claws.

Doh, forgot to change weapons.

"Stand aside!" Aaziroth says as the paladin builds up speed charging the skeletons with his longsword held high. When he reaches the line, he swings with all his might. The skeleton easily steps aside of the sword.

Charge. +2 to hit. -2 AC
