"Go, Pathfinders! Take this thing down!"

Just waiting on Madge

"I'll distract him for you, Aaziroth. Smack him with that big hammer, ya?"

Madge swings threateningly at the skeleton, trying to grab his attention enough for her ally to find an opening.

Aid Another (attack): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Versus AC 10

Because of her Helpful trait, Aaziroth now has a +4 to hit the skeleton

The skeleton once again swipes at Talon.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Then Aaziroth tries to end the Skeleton
Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 4 = 13
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

But misses.

Party is up

"That was a nice try there, fella. Just keep it up and you'll hit him, ya."

Madge continues her threatening swings at the skeleton.

Aid Another (attack): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Versus AC 10

Because of her Helpful trait, Aaziroth now has a +4 to hit the skeleton

Talon staggers under a heavy blow from the skeleton. Seeing how ineffective his blows have been, he focuses on defense instead of attacking.

total defense

Man, this thing is hard to hit

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage (Bludgeoning): 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Korair and Zui your up. Korair are you still in delay?

What will it take to KILL this thing...again! Talon wonders.

"Let's finish this thing already!" Dekion says as he swings his lucern hammer once again.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

lol, either hit w/ no damage or waste a good damage roll by missing. thanks for botting me.

Going to skip Zui.

Aaziroth scores a good hit on the skeleton Who then steps up to strike.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Crit conferm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage (Bludgeoning): 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

And with that attack the skeleton lets out a screech and crumbles finally to bone.

The wizard takes another puff from his inhaler.

Sorry, who was the skeleton's last attack against? If it was against me, I'm down.

Aaziroth

"I have this new wand..." Talon says as he attempts to activate it.

"I'm no priest, but I think I can figure out how their magic works..."

UMD, CLW: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
UMD, CLW: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
UMD, CLW: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

He will need a couple more to get himself up.

Was at -4. now at +2

Aaziroth's eyes snap open as he quickly sits up looking for the skeleton. He relaxes a bit when he sees it in a pile. "He gave us quite a fight." He looks at Talon standing over him with a wand. "Thank you. I can take it from here. Who else needs healing?" he says as he stands up and takes out his wand.

CLW (self): 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 5 lol, why am I not surprised
CLW (self): 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 6 really?
CLW (self): 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 7 wow

He then walks over to Koriar.

CLW (Koriar): 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

Once everyone is healed, he straps his lucern hammer to his pack and pulls out his long sword and shield.

Koriar stands up and feels the healing energy washing over him.

"Thanks Aaziroth... this cramped place made it more difficult..."

Madge takes a deep breath, sweat from stress covering her face.

"Well, that was a rough one, yeah? You alright there now, buddy?"

Where too?

Halorn shakes his head, as if to clear it for some reason. "Well, I can see them priests being scared of that thing."

He looks around at the party, seeing quite a bit of wounds and catching of breath. "You guys rest a bit. I'll look around for loot and take inventory." Halorn looks around and gathers up whatever he can find.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Already back in one piece, Koriar gets up to help Halorn.

"This make no sense... Why secret passage and skeleton guardian if no place to go?"

Aid Another (Perception): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Talon nods at Koriar's suggestion that there may be a secret door. He carefully examines the walls, feeling for drafts and looking for seams in the stone.

take 20 perception for 27

Detect magic all around.

Aaziroth also nods at Koriar's comment. "I agree. There must be another secret door in here somewhere." He then helps the others look.

Aid another (perception): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

"The architecture in here is fascinating!"

So I don't think a perception is needed to see the door side of a secret door but you do see a door. Guessing you open it.

The ceiling of this cavernous chamber vaults to a height of sixty feet, forming an architectural wonder unsupported by any visible columns or buttresses. Forty feet overhead, a wide stone bridge with an elaborately carved railing arches over the chamber from north to south, joining two sets of massive bronze doors at either end. The central portion of the chamber contains an inlaid spiral symbol and is recessed into the floor, with eight staircases leading up to a wide ledge that encircles the room ten feet above. On this ledge stand bronze doors to the east and west. Eight larger-than-life statues stand upon the ledge as well, evenly spaced around the room’s circumference—seven carved from white stone, and the eighth carved from black stone.

You see a statue standing in the alcove in front of you after the door is open.

Detect Magic on the statue.

There is evocation magic on the statue.

"Oh, hey! Pathfinders, this statue reeks of evocation. If it's anything like the statue from before, I bet we can activate it by touching..."

The wizard instinctively starts to put out his hand. But, then he remembers the multiple admonitions from the party, and he stops before making contact.

"Maybe we should back up before somebody checks out this statue?"

Talon nods in approval at Ziusudra.

"You might live to see the end of this dungeon yet, kid."

The rogue moves closer to the statue and examines it carefully, looking for traps or anything the statue might conceal.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

disable device, if necessary: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

No traps that you see

Sorry...I mean to take 20 on perception for 27, not just glance at it. :/

Talon looks at the statue even more carefully.

Yes there is a trap. Its magical. And remember that every take 20 takes 5 minutes.

"I'm not sure if these ancient traps are up my alley," Talon smirks. "But I'll see if I can disarm it."

I had already rolled a DD check on it for 16. Guessing that doesn't cut it. I can't take 10 or 20 on these, right?

Whilst Talon works, Ziusudra looks around the rest of the room.

Detect Magic.

I think you can take a 10, since we are not in combat. The take 20 action generally means the PC tried again and again until he succeeds, which is not the case here.

Taking 20 on perception actually takes half the amount of time, as it's a move action for active perception, and thus you can do twice the number of checks in the same amount of time

Madge moves closer to watch Talon work.

"Evocation, that's like the 'blow-ya-up' type of magic, ya? Best to be careful around that."

"Evocation is so last crusade!" the wizard says disdainfully. "Conjuration! Now, there's a really interesting school of magic!"

And the goblins ate my post....

Zui you hear, as a whisper in the back of your mind, your old teacher. "Be careful what you wish for. It may come true."

Whats the plan? You know its trapped and will activate if touched."

Okay, so there's no way I know of to disable it without touching it? If not, let's move on.

Aaziroth stands guard looking around the room as the rogue investigates the statue.

"Meh. Let's go around the hallway that we haven't looked at yet. No need to set somethin' off."

And the goblins ate my post....

Zui you hear, as a whisper in the back of your mind, your old teacher. "Be careful what you wish for. It may come true."

Whats the plan? You know its trapped and will activate if touched."

Ziusudra jumps with fright as the voice startles him. He takes another puff from his inhaler.

I've put Halorn's icon where I think we could go as an alternative.

You squeeze past the statue into the room. Where too?

Where on the map are we now?
