MUMMY'S MASK ADVENTURE PATH - GM Spazmodeus

Game Master Spazmodeus

Are we moving up to the second level, or are there things we need to finish or do down here?

I look at the shiny button eyes of Bambara and then back at the new armor, then back to him.

Oh but the scales, they would look so nice on me. And I'm sure we could find something...oh I can't say no to that face.

Someday I'll have scales of my own.

Lets move on, we need to get to the ring in order to inspect it and I would want the room secured first. The ring being bait isn't an impossibility.

Sorry for the mapping issues. I thought I had switched you to the new map. We should be able to continue.

Chui stops to listen and sniff at the double doors near the head of the stairs.

Well if nothing is attacking us right now maybe we should get this armor on Bambara, its a nice upgrade over that suit we got from that crazy Mana Wastes trader. I don't even think he could tell the two of us apart.

Okay Alex. Help Bambara?
if given the time I swap my armor to the fancy scale mail hat wee just found.
Now Bambara have scales like Alex.

Sorry for the delay but the pause was simply because the GM didn't respond, so I would say unless Chui is waiting then the armor remains in Alex's pack.

What is the plan from here?

ok i will wait to change the char sheet to reflect the new armor then

Chui darts forward 15 ft. so that he can see the full extent of the atrium.

Moved my avatar 15 ft to the east; I only want to go as far as is necessary to peak around the corner to the north.

Assuming that this area is clear, I'm going to open those double doors that I just checked a round or so earlier.

I tap my finger against my chin as I look at my botanical bodyguard, sizing him up and mentally preparing to make the necessary adjustments
because of the difference in anatomy.
We will definitely need to adjust the elbow joints. Oh right, yes, well I sometimes get ahead of myself, we need to wait for our fearless feline to get back. I haven't heard the trap on the door go off so he must be doing a great job. And I don't want to get caught mid-change, that would be embarrassing.

Chui moves forward along the wall and looks around more carefully.

I can see three sets of doors to the east. Is the noise coming out of the middle set of doors, and are they open?

The doors are in fact open, and should be seen through on the map. And I should be more clear, the northern most two sets of doors to the east are open and the noise comes from one then the other set.

Chui takes a 5-foot step to the south-west and whispers down to the party below ...

It's in one of the rooms with open doors on the eastern side of the atrium. Come on up and get ready. I'm going to vanish and move to engage it.

Chui takes a swift action to vanish and moves east.

See the location of my avatar on the map.

Let's get it Initiative out of the way. We aren't in actual initiative but everyone (except Chui) let me know what you are doing.

Harmini will go up last after the others move up the stairs. She's got her crossbow at the ready and motions for them to go on ahead.

Go on then, I'll cover you.

bambara try not to sleep again.
I move quietly up the stairs to where chui directed drawing my nodachi in the process.

I got out a small bag of pretzels and follow Bambara.

Once you vanish I can cast Bless, then we go in.

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Also when I moved a scribbled junk on the map. I don't know how to fix this.

Looks like Chui leads off.

Wonderful, two of these things.

Chui moves to rear of the nasty floating creature.

Natural +10 for stealth, +20 for moving while vanished, -5 for not having Fast Stealth = total mod of +25, correct?

He then attacks with one of his claws.

Ignore this if I get perceived moving into position.

Chui suddenly appears behind the flying winged creature and slashes with his clawed hand. The creatures touch hide resists it though and no blood is drawn.

A second leathery winged head comes flying from the northern door and begins to scream as it does. The shriek is intense and caused everyone's blood to freeze in their bodies.

Everyone needs to give me a FORTITUDE save please.

Just FYI: Alabaster has construct traits and is immune to any effect that requires a fortitude save unless it also affects objects or is harmless.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Chui wait I didn't cast b

Alex freezes midsentence and slumps to the floor unable to move.

Sorry Alex.

Harmini, your turn.

Alex is furious at the current situation but that's the way it goes.

Why can't I move? No...NO!! I cannot be paralyzed! A great dragon can't...oh Aspu, don't cast your eyes on me. Not now.

What are these things? That sound was unpleasant.

Harmini fires a shot at the red creature flying toward her and hopes for the best.

Take that! You filthy fiend!

She takes a small step to the south and reloads her crossbow with another cold-iron bolt.

Free action - Knowledge check to identify the creatures. Standard Action - Fire crossbow at red. Free Action - 5' step south. Move action - Reload crossbow.

Harmini's bolt slams through the side of the beast. Blood splatters behind it as it spins slightly from the impact.

The creature would need to make a Fly check but the DC is 10 and it's bonus is +13. Bam it is your turn I believe.

Nice shooting, Tex!

Tex is a mythical catfolk hero know for the many mottos he crafted for his alma mater, the Murraseth Guild of Assassins Academy.

Even Alex has heard of the legendary Catfolk Tex and his Big Iron Six Shooter. He could shave the whiskers off of 3 gnats with one bullet!

I hope someone moves my head so I can see whats going on, I'm not liking the look of this dirt. If I had been able to call upon Aspu's blessing I would be standing and fighting! Wait, now my nose itches.

I try unsuccessfully to wiggle my nose.

free action Rage, move action move into flank with chui, standard action attack. this uses 1 round of rage 7 remain
Oh no Alex. Bambara kill it maybe Alex get better?
bataila oihu
just says battle cry

As a full round action I plan a relatively harmless prank to spring on Chui in 20 years for doing this to me. This distracts me from the itch on my noes and my terrible hunger.

Yes, yes. Something sticky and smelly. Or maybe something to make his hair fall out.

Bambara cries out and moves in with Chui to take down the demonic head. His sword comes crashing down, cutting deep and the best turns back toward him.

Everyone but Harmini, give me a PERCEPTION check. Harmini makes it automatically.

The beast currently between Bambara and Chui lunges at Bam in response to his attack. Its mouth is full of vicious looking teeth and its tongue drips with viscous fluid. The teeth sink in deep though the wound is minor over all.

Lots of information, lots of rolls needed. Once resolved Chui is going next.

Damn, it's a vegan undead flying head thing. Lucky break for me.

As Alex is not really in a position to act on knowing something is around the corner, Chui please feel free to take your action.

Hmm, things seem to be getting exciting.

Oh, so the solution to all our problems is somewhere else? I'm not buying it.

No idea if this is useful or not.

Chui vanishes and moves 5 ft. to the northwest so he can rip the vegan flying head into little pieces.

That's 2 of my 3 ki spent.

Chui disappears but quickly reappears next to the vargouille. He catches it completely by surprise and rips into it. Teeth and claws ravage the beast and Chui is left dripping blood over the corpse lying in tatters on the floor.

The second vargouille takes little notice of its companions fate and seems to be focused on Alex's frozen body. It flies over to her and seems to hug her with its leathery wings. There is a wet sound and then Alex mumbles a scream, as though her mouth were full when she was attacked.

Harmini, you may go. Then Bambara.

Alex does look like she's in trouble... I'll need to find that cure quickly.

Alex! Hang in there, I'm going to find you a cure!

Harmini rushes off down the stairs as suggested toward the east courtyard.

Standard & Move action - Double move 60'.

I can move? Instead of a Fort Save, I want to bite his tounge. If he is in my mouth I automatically hit. I understand that this isn’t by the book, but maybe I can sweeten the deal with a hero point? Or even better, can I use my breath weapon on him? What would that even do to him? Its a 60 foot line of caustic acid straight into his mouth. If we are lip locked, is that dude is just going to pop like an balloon?

what I do is dependent on if alex can do what she wants so I will wait for gm to make a call there before I take my turn if that means that I have to delay than that's fine.

Well, it might seem like this is some kind of grapple or an extended interaction but it is just a standard action. If you wish to make an initiative check to beat its initiative I will allow you to forgo the saving throw and make a bite as a readied action. If you do not beat its initiative, you make the save and continue to act in the initiative order as normal.Fair?

That is more than fair. Lets give this a shot.

initiative check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

That will almost certainly fail, lets try a fort save.

Fort Save: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Ahh, the life of an adventurer. I will use a hero point to reroll this save, I hate this tongue.

Bad Touch!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Bam, your turn still.

i think i can use acrobatics to move the 20 ft., if not my move to flank may trigger an Aoo, I will post my turn Talamackk adjust accordingly please
Alex Bambara coming!
as i roll behind it I slash into the Vargouille who put a liplock on my dear friend.

As I regain my composure I look over my shoulder and see something, or perhaps is it a trick of the eye?

There! In the corner!

Umm, what knowledge do I need to roll to figure out that thing is? I am also assuming that I am still on the ground, is that correct?
