The night passes without any further attacks, but all is not well. As you begin to settle into the room, Khazmia suddenly starts to feel week, her face drooping almost as if it were melting. 3 Con, 6 Cha damage
Kyson fears it's the curse of the mummies, a potentially deadly affliction!
Mummy Rot:
(Su) Curse and disease—slam; save Fort DC 16; onset 1 minute; frequency 1/day; effect 1d6 Con and 1d6 Cha; cure —. Mummy rot is both a curse and disease and can only be cured if the curse is first removed, at which point the disease can be magically removed. Even after the curse element of mummy rot is lifted, a creature suffering from it cannot recover naturally over time. Anyone casting a conjuration (healing) spell on the afflicted creature must succeed on a DC 20 caster level check, or the spell is wasted and the healing has no effect. Anyone who dies from mummy rot turns to dust and cannot be raised without a resurrection or greater magic. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Also moving on, since I figure you can deal with a couple things at once.
In the morning, the two rods fit smoothly into the pedestals and the doors open with a screech of protest, flooding the chamber with fresh salt air from the world outside. Beyond the doors is a broad set of seaweed-chokes stairs that lead down to a small beach.
To the west off the map, but through the water, you can see the land rising up, eventually forming a winding cliffside path leading about 80 feet up.

"Ky-bwon! Whabet ibwe habbwening to ma fabece?"
Khaz groans, and tries to hold her face back where it goes, but the drooping gets one of her lips caught on a tusk. Horrified, she turns a horrified and nearly hopeless gaze towards the scribe.

"What happened to your face?!" Kyson says uncouthfully, after hearing Khaz' wails of sorrow in the morning.
I could look upon her before...but this?! Kyson's hand partially blocks his eyes lest he be struck blind as he tries to figure out what is going on.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31 Heal
"Mummy rot?! MUMMY ROT!? Holy piddlespot!" Kyson looks scared, then confused, then, in realizing he wasn't helping Khaz much, tries to keep a brave face.
"Don't worry! I can fix your deformity! It's not as bad as I think, I'm sure you aren't halfway into becoming a gibbering mouther. Uhm.." Kyson wrings his hands, formulating a plan.
"Let's go pray to the sun. Yeah, Sarenrae will give us guidance. And help fix your face. Oh goddess, please let us fix your face!"
Kyson will lead Khaz to a quiet place to pray, hopefully looking toward the rising sun. He will do so without touching Khaz lest any of 'it' get on him.
He will pray for solutions to Khaz's face, hoping for something more than a sack with eye holes cut out. Remove Curse*2, Remove Disease*2, Lesser Restoration*1.

"Oh, I can't stand to see her this way, Zstelian!" Kyson answers. "But she'll be somewhat fine for the day. Tomorrow, we can try again to fix her, Sarenrae willing."
Kyson, saddened by his failure, mopes as the de-camps and tries to avoid looking at Khaz.

Sekathral cheers up once the doors open and the party emerge onto the beach.
"Smashing. Sarenrae's light and Besmara's garters - that's more like it! Don't worry, mate"
He gives Khazmia a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
"Your phizzog don't look any worse than mine. Besides, the lad'll fix you up - he's good at that sort of thing. Failing that, stand beside Avner and you'll look gorgeous in comparison no matter what."
He makes a vulgar sign at the aristocrat, then sits down and rolls a joint, humming tunelessly to himself as he does so.

Khaz bends her body to morning prayers, thanking Saraenrae for whatever healing might come her way. Kyson lays his hand upon her and she
She tries to smile at Sekathral's cheerful comments. "Thanks, Seka. I may need to do that, at least for awhile."
A princess *doesn't* cry! That's just a little sea salt in my eye.
From one side, she doesn't look so bad. The other, though... the other...
"Thank you, Kyson. I'm sure you did your best."At least I can talk again, not that I want to.
The aristocrat smiles mirthlessly at the elf's jab. "Well, should we just sit here and smoke, or move on."
Amella stands at the end of the water, looking up at the sky with a broad smile on her face. "Thank the gods we're out of the death trap. Even the dwarves didn't want to spend all their bloody time flaming underground."

Always acting first Silvio is startled by Khaz's change in appearence. "Gah! Cayden's cups, wha.." he exlaims before gathering himself. "Good morning, lady Khazmia. You look different this morning", he says and follows it up with a pearly smile in an atempt to smooth things over.

Khazmia stiffens at Silvio's outburst. After a moment, she smiles as demurely as she can. "Thank you for noticing."
Head held high, she turns on her heel and stalks out into the morning sun. If the sight of her offends anyone, well then, they should cover their eyes!

Silvio tense posture relaxes visibly as Khazmia smiles and walks away. "The Silvio charm never fails", he says and and walks over to Kyson. "Silvio's good friend Kyson!" he greets the cleric and then lowers his voice slightly. "Have you seen the abomination that the Lady Khazmia has suffered? You must fix this! No woman should be made to go through life looking like that!"

Kyson cringes as Silvio so adeptly points out Kyson's failure, then rubs his (and Khaz's) face in it.
"Yeah, I know. I know, Silvio. Sometimes, it doesn't work right. Sometimes. But I'll fix it tomorrow," Kyson looks hopeful that tomorrow is better than today. "Tomorrow it will be different."
Kyson answers while pushing the people out onto the beach and moving back into their marching order.
As he marches out, he sidles up to Zstelian.
"Uhm...we don't have food today. Well, not magic food from Sarenrae. I had to, uh...I had to do things differently to help Khaz. And her face. So we might get hungry if we don't have enough stores. I can take care of the water...but food might be an issue. Just thought you should know."
Kyson walks in silence for a while before glimpsing another peek of Khaz's face.
"Come to think of it, tomorrow might be more of the same. I need to try better tomorrow or Khaz is going to be ugly forever."
AC 25,T 17, FF 18; HP 47/54; Fort +8, Ref +16, Will +5
Sekathral spits out of the side of his mouth, narrowly missing Avner's boot, but says nothing in reply to him, merely remarking, ""***king well right!" in response to Amella's words.
He overhears Kyson talking to Zstelian and stalks up to them.
"Big, pointy ears", he says, tapping them in an attempt to explain "Can't we arrange for some sort of "accident" to happen to that sodding horse? Shame to see all of that scoff going to waste..."
He looks from one to the other and winks, running a finger along the edge of his dagger as he does so.
Zstelian nods at Kyson’s assessment. ”We can spend some time foraging today. It’ll slow us down but people starving will slow us down even more. Just do what it takes to get Khaz better, okay?”
The old ranger laughs at Seka’s comment. ”The horse is more valuable than his owner. If anything I’d like to see that blue-blooded fool have an accident.”
With no apparent other way to get to the spit of land, Silvio begins leading the group through the water, Tavey at his side. Before he can get far, however, four pony-sized crabs emerge from the liquid, making their way toward the line of colonists.
They're 20 feet away, plus in the water, giving them some cover. Better map will be coming, but my home computer's in the shop so it might be a couple days. Kyson, Seka and Silvio are up in Round 1/2. Marching order's Silvio, Tavey, Zstelian, Khaz, Kyson, the yahoos, Avner and Thunderstrike, Sekathral.

Khazmia casts scorching ray at the closest crab not in melee, then tries to move out of the water.
Kyson reacts with alacrity to the sudden appearance of the crabs, herding the rest of his flock back away from the shore as Silvio tries to interpose himself between the creatures and the colonists.
He's joined by Sekathral, though the elf's bullet ricochets off one of the crab's shell, doing no apparent damage.
Undaunted by the forces arrayed against them, the sea creatures swim forward, claws lashing out at the intruders into their lair. Seka and Silvio are easily able to fend them off, but Zstelian, still struggling in slightly deeper water, gets pinched twice though he's able to wiggle out of their grasps before they get solid holds. 15 total hp

Kyson looks behind him and is stunned to see the people still very close to the action.
Motte is there an action that will get them to back up? Right now I'm tempted to let the crabs at them. Why won't they get to safety?
"Get back or so help me, the next fireball is going right up your A#*~#$!& Avner!! GET THESE PEOPLE BACK!"
To prove his point, Kyson steps back 10' and lets loose with a fireball at the crabs, avoiding the good guys. Looks like I can get all 4...but will take 3 if that's a risk.

If Khazmia hasn't gone yet, she will change her action to cast expeditious retreat then try to climb the rock face with her slippers of soggy climbing.
Khazmia climbs up the side of the pass, her slippers making easy work of the vertical surface as the rest of the colonists retreat at Kyson's orders, though Tavey is hemmed in and unable to escape from one of the threatening creatures.
Zstelian tries to hammer at that crab, but only one of his blows manages to bypass the thing's thick shell where it just sticks out of the water and it chitters back madly at him, though he's easily able to knock its claws away.
Kyson's fireball catches three of the crabs; two manage to mostly duck back under the water, avoiding the worst of the flame. The third is caught with the flame's full force and stops moving, its shell turning a bright red.
Sekathral's sword pierces the next one's shell, pinning it to the sea floor as it stops moving, but Silvio struggles more, his blade clattering off thick chitin of the next beast.
Sekathral, his sword pinned momentarily as he finishes his killing stroke, leaves himself open and one of the remaining crabs grabs him with both claws, squeezing tightly. 14 hp, grappled

Sekathral flails wildly at his opponent, striving to despatch it before it can carry him off
Not sure whether it's considered flat-footed if it's grappling or not. My guess would be not, but have included sneak damage anyway. Optimism costs nothing.
Sekathral slams his blade into the crab, a thunderous roar echoing through the cove, and is easily able to slip out of its grasp as it goes limp.
Zstelian continues to struggle with the final crab, but Silvio has more luck in his next attempts, his blade twice finding weak points in its shell before Kyson finishes it off with another fiery blast.
And they're all dead! And with that, you can all advance to level 8!

Kyson looks at Silvio, then the crabs, then to Zstelian.
"Before me move on, did we want to harvest his crabmeat? I likely won't be able to give Sarenrae's meal if we're trying to save Khaz's life. This food looks like food to me."
He looks back at Avner.
"Maybe we can use that horse's ass to help us move the crabs up to the beach so we can cut them up. Of course, I'm not sure how to do that."
Kyson wonders if people want to eat or keep moving, wondering if any notice how even though Sarenrae wasn't able to provide prayer-food, she still provided.

Crabby, with a face full of Mummy Rot and little to no patience left, Khazmia comes up behind and to the left of Sekathral, glaring at Avner the whole way. She rolls her jaw so the light catches on her tusk caps just right. "Is there a problem, folks? I'm *really* hungry..."
"Fine," Avner says, clearly cowed, but also clearly not happy.
Urol chatters excitedly, sure these crabs will be good eating. "I mean, they'd almost have to be, right? Wouldn't they?"
Once you've finished harvesting the crab meat, you make your way up the path, climbing 80 feet to the top of the cliffs overlooking the shore.
Urol huffs and puffs as he reaches the top, but seems happy as he looks around, his high spirits shared by Amella and Tavey, who both seem thrilled to be out of the dark caves.
Urol's excitement grows as he discovers what appears to be the remains of ancient path. "Look at this? It must have been made by the ancient Olmans! And if it's lasted this long, well, it must be safe. If we follow this, it should just be six days along the coast, before we need to turn inland a bit!"

"So you are telling Silvio that there is at least another seven days before we reach Farshore?" Silvio asks with his brow furrowed. "Well, there is nothing to do about that except continue. Luckily that's why the world has created heroes like Silvio", he continues and starts to stride down the prepared path.
"What makes you think that the path is safe? Except that Silvio now walks upon it, of course."
"Well, look how well its survived," he says, pointing to the damaged roadway. "The Olman were quite the masters of their terrain, back in the day. Look at the craftsmanship!"
The gnome bends down, poking at one of the stones in the bed of the path.
"Oh!" he says at Silvio's question. "I think it will still be a few days after to reach Farshore, but we're definitely getting close now. If memory serves, we'll have to go to Tanaroa first, one of the Olman villages."
Eventually set, you head out along the path, which winds along the coast, occasionally keeping you 100 feet above the pounding surf below and other times descending back to sea level to traverse stretches of rocky beach. Though their are definite signs of erosion, the path remains wide enough in most places for two of you to walk abreast.
Thunderstrike seems nervous along the trail, shying at various noises, occasionally at risk to plummet over the side as he does so.
Tavey also seems at risk for the same, as he tries to show Silvio his "swordwork," running up cliffsides and leaping off, while swinging a large stick he's picked up.

LOL@Silvio.
Kyson helps back and cook all the crabmeat he/they can carry (which is significant with Ant Haul) and is happy to follow Urol's directions towards safety.
Kyson makes a mental note to add some "Things he's Done" to his list, hopeful to have the opportunity to return home and be allowed to go back to the ways things were.
"Khaz, you okay? We'll get you fixed up tomorrow. I promise."
I usually play the mistakes in a players favor are divine intervention and let them stand but discuss them for future instances.
While mistakes in the GM's favor are correctable within the same round but there after stand.
That way we minimize any impact to the flow of combat while still being fair to players who take actions assuming certain circumstances and rules are in effect.

Just FYI, Dargon's method is usually how I handle it, so probably how we'll do it here as well.
Also, are folks getting tired of the dungeon crawl. This isn't Jzadirune, but it's got some heft to it. I can trim it down if people would prefer, as I think big dungeons can be even more frustrating with PBPs.
I'm good whichever way the rest of the party wants to go. Since I just started, it would be impossible for me to be tired of the dungeon crawl yet, so I'm happy to defer to the others.
I'm okay with crawls as long as they move at a good pace.

Just remember, if you write an action where you're opening the door, I'll only include the search if you do so, but I'll definitely include it if I'm DMPCing you.
(At the risk of meta gaming, I probably will continue not to bother to roll if I know there's nothing to be heard/found, since that saves me some typing.)

If anyone's interested, we had a cleric disappear from a Second Darkness campaign I'm playing in. I'd certainly recommend any of you for a spot if you want to create a divine character. Seems like a fun group so far; not quite as good as this one, but then again, I think this is a pretty spectacular group we've got here. Let me know if you're interested.
(FWIW, I recently downloaded a couple mods and will likely try to run Witchwar Legacy once I'm done with my Fellknight Queen PBP game, though that may be a couple months still.)

Hey all: Just a note to let you know I'm recruiting some replacements for my Kingmaker campaign, thanks to one player deciding touring Europe for six months after graduating is more important than gaming (lucky jerk!). No guarantees, obviously, but you've all made a good impression in this game. Patrik's in it and has a character who's completely different but as fun as Silvio (IMO).
Everyone but Patrik (Silvio), please feel free to apply.
Hey everyone, I may be sporadic over the next few days; I have company coming and then a graduation to go to. If I don't respond in a reasonable amount of time, move her forward in some way that helps the party.

FWIW, getting some of this will require another trip into the complex. You can do that if you want, obviously. You'll meet no resistance.
I think you've also got at least one person you captured (and I think their may have been 1-3 more who were left tied up) there and need to decide what you did with him/them.
AC 25,T 17, FF 18; HP 47/54; Fort +8, Ref +16, Will +5
Just to let you know, I'll be away until the 8th of June - please DMPC me until I get back.
I think we'll have to return the Vanderboren loot, although concepts like 'finder's fees' and 'deductions for reasonable expenses' may flash through Sekathral's mind.
I've got the +1 rapier, BTW - I also took a hand crossbow, some quarrels and a sap; I'd like a spare set of thieves (thief's?) tools too. And just one cask of rum?
Also, don't know what your rules are re: PCs using poison, Motte, but I'd like to keep some of the sea urchin venom. Deduct all of the above from my share as applicable, obviously.
Re: the prisoners, untie them, take them to the back gate of the city and then run the varmints out of town!

Silvio's plan was posted here. Since he didn't get any negative feedback that's what i assumed happened :)
Magic chain shirt? When did we get this? Silvio is very interested.
Do we need any healing wand donations or are we ok with healing?
HP 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8
For a feat I'll be picking up crane style and for skills I'll be dipping into knowledge history since I should have did it before to account for his age. And then investing more in acrobatics, perception, and swim. My monk speed also kicks in so I won't lag behind anymore :).
Another level in fighter.
+8 hit points (+6 from hit dice (we where allowed to take average, right?) +2 from con)
+5 skill points (+3 from figher, +1 from int, +1 from favored class) going into:
+1 to bluff (He is getting quite proficient with retelling the stories of his own exploits)
+1 to diplomacy (Everybody is a friend to Silvio!)
+1 to intimidate (as he hones his swordcraft he also perfects his performance which is able to strike fear into almost anybody)
+1 Knowledge (local) (Silvio learns great many things from his numerous friends and admirers)
+1 stealth (Silvio is beginning to notice that the stealthy approach does have its benefits)
Aldori dueling mastery as a feat (fighting multiple enemies has sharpened his reflexes and proficiency with the blade)
HP: +6=20(I did half +1, if you want me to roll, let me know)
Feat: Spell Penetration
skills (5):
Disable Device: 1 (from watching Sekathral at the doors),
UMD: 2 (She's fascinated by the CLW wand)
KNOW-Dung: 1
Spellcraft:1
Spells: Enlarge Person (bloodline spell) and Touch of Gracelessness.
Khaz also picks up "Long Limbs" this level, giving her an extra 5' of reach for melee touch attacks.
She definitely wants to go shopping. Assuming she finds everything, she'll buy a new hat, scarf, courtier's outfit, a new walking stick (hanbo), Alchemists Fire (3), thieves tools (since I forgot to grab some while we had them), and a wand of Mage Armor.
