MUMMY'S MASK ADVENTURE PATH - GM Spazmodeus

Game Master Spazmodeus

Harmini draws a wand and tries to tuck herself into the space behind a column.

Wynrey, your turn.

This time I got yah!

I start wiggling and strike with my katana as I commence the wiggling.

Katana Strike: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Wynrey's katana cuts deep across the bug, but it still stands as gore spreads across the floor.

Chui feel like eating it?

Why do they have to be cold-blooded bugs! Fresh warm blood and some howls of pain are all I want. Is that too much to ask?

Chui tears into the bug, gore flying and limbs being torn off.

Unless there is a reason to stay in rounds, combat is ended.

But no squeals of pain and suffering? Sadness

Harmini recovers from her hiding spot as gracefully as she can and puts away her wand.

Nicely done, bugslayers Chui & Wynrey. Is there anything of interest in this room? It appears to be a dead end.

Chui looks around, seeking any places where the bugs might have tunneled into the room.

Me a very religion smart cat!

Hey guys, we're in the way, way back machine here. It looks like the altar here was dedicated to Anubis,god of tombs and the patron of embalmers, and a big pre-Qadiran god around these parts. Check out his ugly dog head.

Chui likes the cute gods with the cat heads! That's some religion I can get behind!

Chui lets out a seemingly random PRRRRRR!

Anubis huh? That's interesting. It would make sense the a tomb god would be in a tomb. Oh do you want us to make him our group mascot? It might make him less upset with us when we keep showing up near his shrines and I like to keep the gods that are upset with me to under five.

I'll pass on the god that looks like a dog as mascot, unless we want to call him Fido and toss him the bones of the undead we kill

Looks like Harmini is right. This is a dead end. We had some fun, killed some things, and now it's time to check to the door to the west in the room with the once annoying, but now broken, mirror of head burning.

We all good with this plan?

please enough with the bugs already
Elendra saunters back into the p0revious room

OK

Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho, It's off to kill we go!

Wynrey and Chui's icons moved up to door

Doing the same thing here, that I did at the door to the east

Chui carefully approaches it, checking for traps and trying to ascertain what might be on the other side. Then, when he is confident that the way is clear, he opens the doors only as much as is necessary to peer through and see what's on the other side.

The door is not open but giving Chui a look. The orange outlines area is loose sand and debris, these squares are considered difficult terrain.

Hmm, how long ago did this burrowing and collapse occur?

The door is "giving Chui a look?" I'm not sure what you mean here. It almost sounds likes a mimic or something fun like that.

Sorry about that, just meant that I opened it on the map so you could see the map. The door is not a mimic... THIS TIME!

Well that tapestry was a nice find but we haven't found anything significant, except a magic mirror which we smashed. Has this tomb already been plundered?

Chui backs away from the door and whispers.

Crazy s@#@ ahead! There is a snake made of sand up ahead, and it looks large

Does the orange box around four squares indicate a large creature?

Shall we try the old the "Elendra and Harmini fling open the double doors and Wynrey and Chui charge and mutilate the enemy" plan?

All squares in orange box are difficult terrain.

It worked so well the last time. I think it is a sound idea
Elendra moves into positionkeeping her wand handy

I'm ready when you are, umm does anyone have and idea on what that thing is? Snake thing made of sand?

I prepare to charge the sand monster. Or whatever.

I think we're all ready to go, opening the door, rolling perception and/or initiative when needed.

Since it worked well last time... Let's get initiative. This time I do need Wynrey to roll, and if you wish to let her lead, people will hold their actions.

As for what the creature is, that would be a knowledge (planes) check, but I do not think anyone has that skill.

gone for weekend. Back late sunday, GM feel free to act as elendra until i can get back. My first action after opening the door is use a charge of wand of bless
initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Harmini sighs audibly and gets into position. She draws her wand of cure light wounds in preparation before opening the door.

Here we go again...

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Elendra and Harmini pull open the door and Wynrey goes to step up, but the snake-like creature seemed to be ready and it darts forward to strike at you.

The creatures maw slams into Wynrey's shield, the blow driving Wynrey to stumble back a bit.

Elendra in shock of the sudden rush stumbles back a bit but then recovers herself. She raises her wand and chants softly for a second, then a halo of light expands out from the wand and washes over her and her companions.

Elendra casts BLESS on the party. Harmini, it is your turn.

Harmini Delays.

Wynrey, your up.

Oh you think you're tough huh?

Katana whack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Me go now?

Wynrey, do you want to check for Crit?

Oh, that's right!

Crit confirmation: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Wynrey's blade slices through the sand snake but the individual particules of the sand seem to flow back together, leaving no wound.

Chui, now you are up.

Oh, that's a neat trick.

OK, so you are tough. Let's dance

"Free action": begin wiggling.

Oh Dog Turds! This might require a magic weapon, anyone got an oil, spell, whatever for that?

Five foot step to the east.

Confirming Claw 1 possible critical FWIW

Chui steps around to the side trying to get an advantageous position. He launches himself at the creature. His teeth ripe into it and the sand flows like blood from his mouth. His claws follow but while the slice through the beast, it again seems to feel nothing from it.

Is Harmini still holding?

Slicing isn't working! Try something else.

Just to be clear, the claws and katana seemed to do no damage but the bite hurt it.

The mouth, lips, and fangs of the Chui are all powerful!

It looks like the sand snake has a DR for slashing and bludgeoning, but not for piercing.

Harmini takes a step out of the corner.

What is this thing?

5' step south. No actions.

The sand snake rears up and turns toward Chui as the new threat. It strikes quickly but Chui dodges easily.

Elendra is up.

I think I prefer the damn bugs
elendra draws her dagger and steps back away from this sand monster.
um guys what is this thing?
