alright, so avelloran will acid dart the last zombie
acid killing it.
add 7 to each for the ghuls saving throws, they both fail, and the channel doesn't reach the last one as it was out of the 30 foot range.
oh, wait, almost forgot about silver, he gets into melee beside kaylor
not cold iron
then the ghuls retailate, one moves to zub to try to claw him.
the 6 and first d6 is normal, 2nd d6 is fire.
the other 2 do full round attacks on silver and kaylor
1st kaylor as it tries to bite and claw at him add 10 to each attack. only the last one is a hit as he claws him for the 6 and first d6 is normal, 2nd d6 is fire
2nd goes after silver silver add 10 to each attack. the 12 and first 2d6 is normal, 2nd 2d6 is fire.
on Kaylor first.
on silver second, nope missed
Kaylor took 29 dmg unless you have fire resistance, which you probably do.
Silver took 26 dmg
Zub took 17 dmg
the forgotten pharaoh cultist move forward to be in melee with a double move
Zub is up
then Round 2: rest of the heroes up
Kaylor smirks at the ghoul in front of him as he shrugs off most of the damage. "My turn." His voice is almost sing-songy and his eyes have a dangerous glint. He strikes out with his stored spell, and then makes a few arcane gestures to finish up.
Remiel for his part, gives a soft squeek at seeing the ghoul approach him and retreats.
with Kaylors attack and Nahoces last attack of channel and enemy took enough damage to die.
Still waiting on actions from Nahoce, Elmar, and Avelloran for round 2
Silver will attack the ghul in front of him twice
which does not bypass the reduction making the ghul feel a breeze.
He then swifts to hopefully set up flanking later.
If anything's still left standing, Elmar will fire again, taking careful aim this time.
botting avelloran, he swifts and casts burning hands hitting 2 forgotten pharaohs and a ghul fire
after avelloran burns two cultists, and a ghul, elmar just barely finishes off the ghul as he swifts, because the powerful ones are more of a threat.
the cultists with their short swords swing at elmar for dropping their ,buddy. the others that can't reach go after nahoce and avelloran add 3 to each att. but they all miss.
The Ghul uses greater invisibility, and moves away from Kaylor and Silver, he is who knows where on the map. Oh, no, what is he planning.
Kaylor and Silver We still get Aoos. But in addition to rolling attacks, roll 1d100, 50 or belows misses.
Zub is up for round 2 and heroes are up for round 3
aoo
not knowing where the creature is, he goes over to a forgotten pharaoh,.
killing him. 1 down, 2 to go.
oh, yes that one, isn't escaping from you.
I forgot about that one, which means elmar targetted the one that was near silver and avelloran. so there is no invisible creature, just two thugs and one grappled ghul as this changes what he would have targetted.
Elmar, suddenly noticing the cultists (forgotten in more ways then one), steps back and hoses them with arrows.
The main threats taken care of, Kaylor heads over to the cultists. The silly, silly cultists who, if they had any sense at all, would have run away by now.
yeah, elmar would have stopped after the first hit which would have killed him, the 2nd hit would have killed the 2nd guy
and then with elmars last shot he would have hit the ghul.
Heroe clean the field quietly quieting everything. Combat over
Cayden Caliean comes out of the pool and says heal now, heal now. The rest of the place is filled with powerful creatures and corrupt pharaohs, heal as many allies as you can then he dissappears.
Cayden Caliean comes out of the pool and says
"Probably a mere illusion, a kind warning. I would speculate that no god would show up and tell us to heal ourselves without just healing us themselves."
Kaylor blinks and then nods at Avelloran's comment. That makes the most sense. He then looks around the room, searching for doors to lead further into the building.
Right before actually going through any doors though, he'll have Remiel use the wand of infernal healing on himself.

Illusion or Accidental God, it matters not. He has given us the same amount of useful information either way -- none. But heed, Pharasma will guide us.
Nahoce casts Divination.
O, wise and powerful Lady of Graves, favor us with your wisdom. What manner of foul creatures awaits us herein, that we may send them to their final rest?
He answers Nahoce In the next room, there are 12 giant black widow spiders and 2 humanoid creatures, but if you are sneaky you can get the surprise on them. And 7 Festrogs. And a 2 Crypt things. Oh and a Sekuer.
The rest of the dungeon has 5 more creatures, but they are all in seperate rooms. then, Nebta-Khufre who seeks to steal your mask of the forgotten pharaoh and become powerful. I can't heal you, but drink this, everyone. These are Greater invisibility potions, so that you can all get a surprise round. Oh and Bulls str potions, enough for everyone, including silver, though silver doesn't need an invisibility potion as he is invisible until in combat. But I don't have healing spells or potions with me.
As he accepts his two potions, Kaylor uncertainly casts detect magic to determine that they are what they're supposed to be.
"That sounds like a lot of enemies. It may be best to force them to come to us and funnel them through the door." As he speaks, he hands Zuberu his completely and utterly worthless potion of bull's strength.
Out of the Hall of Balance Players move and into the Hall of Honored Peace.
The arched ceiling of this chamber towers overhead, rising to a height of sixty feet above the tiled floor. Hundreds of small alcoves cover the walls, hidden behind neglected silk curtains in blue and gold. A small altar sits in the center, caked in unsigtly stains. A heavy scent of camphor and pitch hang in the air.
More history of this place:
Most of the Sepulcher's dead were stored in the numerous vaults in the walls. Until Nebta-Khufre's arrival, the chamber was sanctified and used for funerals and ceremonies on various holy days. A large seal depicting a phoenix sits in the centr. Knowledge Nobility DC 15 recognizes this seal which may help you in combat.
Originally, a consecrate effect emanated from the altar, but now the altar has been desecrated and smeared in blood, and Nebta-Khufres sceanduinar ally Sekuer has corrupted the seal with negative energy, creating a desecrate effect withing the room that strengths all undead within.
The hereos can here the humanoids talking amongst themselves. Any minute now, this legendary group will show up, they will have the pharaohs mask and we will kill them. Our plan is working, they are coming to us
Heroes are still invisible assuming they would have drank the potion and possibly have bulls str on, unless they are saving the potions, everyone got one. To come in this room, fully aware of what is there without taking the invisibility potion first is suicide, so I'm assuming people would have drank at least that one.
Surprise attacks go
Elmar will prepare for combat with Greater Invisibility, Gravity Bow, and Abundant Ammunition. Sure, why not, Bull's strength too.
"I say we open this group up with something that will hit the whole room—maybe a fireball or sump'n similar, if Avelloran's got one."
"The best I've got in some webbing, which could slow some of them down."
Meanwhile, Elmar will wait the surprise round out, since he does 4x as much damage with a full attack as with just a single one.
Mage armor everyone who would like it.
"I can mess these beings up."
Meanwhile, Elmar will wait the surprise round out, since he does 4x as much damage with a full attack as with just a single one.
Once the party is in position, Elmar will surprise fire one holy water arrow at a Crypt Thing.
"We could always barricade the extra doors. Getting the undead away from the alter would be good. Although if any of the humans are spellcasters, it would be good if Zuberu distracted them, in which case we'd want to back him up and not leave him alone in the room."
Kaylor casts intensified shocking grasp as Remiel taps him with the wand of infernal healing. He then waits for people to finish casting what they cast. Then he drinks his potion at the same time Remiel turns invisible. He then moves to the nearest crypt thing and strike it with his +1 flaming keen scimitar.
And when he misses, he 5ft steps to the side, so they don't know what square he's in.
Remiel for his part breathes a cone of euphoria on the furthest human. . He then flies a little higher.
Avelloran puts his hand palms down and says a magic word, rapidly he raises his hands in a clasping motion and the ground bursts forth with black tentacles.
by the way, the nobility says that it is a seal of the Shepses family. and since it mentioned a phoenix, all creatures not on our side take an additional 6 fire damage from avelloran recognizing it.
okay, so 6 spider, all 7 festrogs, both crypt things and 1 humanoid, looking up CMDs now please wait.
add 15 to each. the festrogs
add 20 to each. the spiders
our humanoid
add 23 to each. Crypt things.
so, 2 festrogs are caught
1 spider
and 1 humanoid stays caught.
As they burn and get squished.
silver with his bulls str will hit a humanoid. His name is Meret-Hetef. adamantine
Zub and Nahoce still have surprise rounds, but I'll go ahead an roll inits, so whatever survives can take their turns if they live after the heroes go. plus I can resolve Avellorans pit if he is first.
Kaylor
avelloran
silver
zub
nahoce
elmar
humanoid 1
humanoid 2
spiders
sekuer, aka Sceaduinar, since cayden told you.
one roll for all of the spiders. They all save or they all don't. Or they could have save if a 17-18 is rolled.
okay as they all fall in and land on top of each other each spider takes 1d4 damage from each other for landing into each other so hardly.
so this on top of 18 dmg.
All of the spiders die as the land into the pit hardly and collide violently into each other.
Elmar and Nahoce are up for round 1
and Nahoces surprise.
only 2 crypt things, a skewer and 2 humanoids remain.
Edit: actually with that last escape roll about the CMDs, I was suppose to roll CMBs for round 1 and I looked up the CMBs, not a single alive creature escaped during round 1, using those rolls, so only 1 humanoid is free to attack us during round 1.
