okay they are all bloodied.
round 1
spectres
zub
silver
kaylor
elmar
nahoce.
We are all 5-10 feet from the door, once we step in the door, all the monsters are 10 from the door on the other side. All lined up straight across.
Edit: also will saves first, able to half zubs stuff, but
2nd. nahoces proves to be too powerful for them.
Spectres are last
as a move action, silver opens the door then as a standard fires off an arrow.
and fire. And almost finishes one of them off.
Elmar blinks, stunned by the realization that the party just took out a lot of undead creatures without him even needing to act.
edit: oh well, I'll roll the rest of the wills to see if any individual ones fail, otherwise they would all live
add 11 to each
edit 2: then I should have done that for Nahoces roll as well
add 11 to each.
Edit 3: so 3 failed against nahoce dropping the numbers to 5, then 1 failed against zub, dropping numbers to 4.
okay, so we have elmar and kaylor left and with their attack bonuses, they can't miss that way unless they roll ones. So I'm just going to roll percentages as kaylor would have 3 attacks and elmar would have 4.
yep 4 successes. combat over
okay so after beating the undead heroes can see into the room and get to the boss using an alternate passage, which may be beneficial or detremintal to stealth and with nahoces detect thoughts, it appears to be beneficial.
Ahead heroes see a giant emperor scropion. Do they want to let it pass or kill it? It can't alert anything and entering combat won't alert anything. If you kill it, make your surprise rounds. I'll assume everyone coordinated really and timed it well so our melee people can be in melee during the surprise.
Kaylor uses his invisibility to silently study the scorpion.
okay, the room is very similar to the first. and we are in combat.
elmar
silver
zub
kaylor
nahoce
scorpion and yes thing is definitely a big creature.
edit: Kaylor's nature this yes I made it one size lower, didn't feel like making the room bigger.
silver during surprise round will fire
then during his round, fire fire, fire.
b and p
and the shots blow off huge chunks of its shell.
it is dead, but remember that unitelligent creature you detected thoughts on? It was a mummified crodile and now that the scorpion is out of its way, it can move into the room and take its place. It did not know we were there, but that was the creature's intended path.
combat still on and the new creature will act on the scorpions init.
Elmar will finish the scorpion off then, I suppose.
as elmar blasts the crodile into nothingness leaving nothing but a pile of dust, the heroes can safely stealth there way to the pharaoh.

knowledge local dc 30 for the other 2. No they aren't Cr 20, but few know who they are, plus I have to write it out, so not giving it to you that easy.
The pharaoh speaks. Work for us and we will offer you true power, wealth and fame beyond your wildest dreams
Edit: I forgot the pharaohs init: 6+10, yeah, its 16.

Renounce your treachery, and Pharasma may grant you mercy.
DC 30 is impossible for me on Local Knowledge.
Both demons can teleport and summon others of their kind. If the larger (the glabrezu) can be subdued, it may be forced to grant a wish to one of us. Both are immune to electricity and poison, and resist spells well. The larger is obviously the more dangerous.
Nahoce's strategy for this fight will be to start with Magic Circle against Evil to keep the demons at bay (stay within 10 feet of her for the benefit), followed by Dismissal on the vrock, then high-level damage spells like Destruction, Hellfire Ray, Cold Ice Strike, etc., on whichever target seems appropriate.
oh and by the way, the pharaoh is female. Join us Zuberu, and I can give you more than all of those other women have given you, and on a daily basis too.
Having no intention of sticking around in a group, Kaylor has Remiel cast Protection from Evil on him. Kaylor himself then activates his boots of haste , charges up his sword , casts maximized intensified shocking grasp, and attacks Hequet defensively.
and she continues to speak. and you Kaylor. I know you are the paranoid one who trusts noone. Follow me and I can show who to trust around how and how to trust people. You are only doing this because the government officials of Wati and some of the other cities have told you too. Are you sure you trust them? Are you sure they aren't the enemy, paranoid one? We are the true heroes of Wati. I know you seek artifacts for money, thus a true artifact hunter, I can help find them all get your more gold for them than you can ever imagine
and then to Nahoce You love your God, well, guess what, I can teach you how to become a God yourself and you can be in the heavens alongside Phrasma.
then to elmar and silver and I don't know about you yet, quiet ones.
We only seek to eliminate those who are inferior and seek to create perfect beings, what is so wrong with that?
Kaylor rolls his eyes as the ludicrous thought that he could ever trust a bunch of idiots who insisted upon attacking him and his companions, nearly all of whom he now trusts. He then gives a short bark of laughter. Although it's unclear if he's laughing at the idea that he needs even more money or at how the pharaoh continues to show her stupidity by talking about "trust" and then immediately trying to buy his loyalty, thus proving that he could not be trusted if he accepted.
Elmar smirks. Clearly his reputation for courageousness is so great that of the whole party she cannot think of anything to tempt him with.
ooh, she screams. as you see arrows in her where they will hurt.
I know what to tempt you with elmar. You like bows and arrows. I can build you the longbow of a lifetime. And with some Arcana and technolody, not to mention exploding arrows this is better. she points to a weapon model on the wall. You see a big robot with a 30 foot long bow and arrows like 10 feet in length. Not to mention these arrows are filled withgunpowder so they explode on impact. You would get inside the head of the robot and control it and it would be just as easy to control as your own body, but this is just a model. But this is just a model, imagine the power if I built you the real thing.
Hequet shifts out of range and uses chain lightning. which hits kaylor and zub lightning damage.
silver will fire arrows at the pharaoh as well.
the vrock will fly over and try to claw kaylor
though he kill the pharaoh on hit 2, so the last one goes to the vrock
Nahoces turn
it holds on for dear life and flaps its wings forward to not get sucked into a porthole that only affect it, but, leaves a caw as it is sucked in.
Ninurset will delay. Zub is up.
grappled, now lets see if it can break free.
the ninurset will shift and make power attacks against kaylor
first the pinsers
then claws
then bite
but gets reckless of its attack.
round 2 start
Kaylor smirks at Hequet as he easily dodges her pathetic attempt to rival him in mastery over electricity. "Let me show you how it's done," he growls. He then defensively casts shocking grasp and steps up next to her to defensively full attack.
and kaylor fries it to smithereens. Also it was an undead, so not a trace of it is left.
elmar silver and nahoce up
still having arrows left over, silver fires at ninurset add 21, 16 and 11
and only one arrow hit for 13, but it might crit
Elmar looks incredulous. "You think I need a special bow to do this?" and fires another bajillion arrows at her.
Nahoçe waves her power in divine gestures at the glabrezu. "Begone foul creature! Return to the hell from whence you came!" She glows briefly as she casts Destruction on the beast.
try as she might the creatures resists and only gets hurt a little for holding on for dear life.
considering the pharaoh is gone, elmar has to fire at the large creature and arrows go flying, and only one bounces off of it, but it still dies, with his last arrow he hits the arkeshkhesbed.
Zub is up.
as zub, destroys the last enemy, the pharaohs, ib escapes. The ib is an intangible thing. The ib goes through the dungeon, destroying all evil things. The ghost paladin is laid to rest and the woman is returned to her home.
As you all exit the dungeon, a phantom figure of Hakotep appears. Thank you for doing that, with that, I am now complete. Ha, ha, ha, ha ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
end of book 4, divide up last of loot
also
armband
okay, so we all rest and get our spells back.
okay so you are all told by ptemib to go back to Wati, that is where Hakotep is and he is working some slave trenches. Hakotep is trying to gain power over shory magic, but isn't quite there yet. He has access to elemenal magic now, which he needs to complete his project. You all find out however that Hakotep isn't as complete as he thinks he is. He is immortal, but as long as he reamins immortal, his power is also limited. He must be made mortal again by placing "the Mask" in his tomb. Normally the project would take Hakotep years, but he speed up the process by sacrificing lives, thus breaking the space-time continum in his favor. Regardless if this meant innocent lives or those working for him, he was going to accomplish this eventually. In addition Hakotep has created a flying pyramid in Wati, though you can all easily get there.
Eventually you all summon Chisisek as told to do so and he gives you info.
You all ask him the right questions.
Where is Hakotep's tomb?
"Hakoteps's pyramid was my pride and joy, but he made his own changes. He felt my designs lacked cruelty, but he kept the core of my work. His tomb incorporated the same magic his enemies used--the Aeromantic Infandibulum. To ensure his eternal rest was protected from thieves, his favored guards, the Akhumen, were to use the Khepsutanem to send his pyramid into the sky, where it would travel the highest clouds and be forever and be forever unreachable by tomb robbers. In the week after his death, the Akhumen slaughtered Hakoteps greatest generals and entombed them as well so that the Sky Pharaoh would have his armies with him in the afterlife. I realize only too late that he wanted me to join him in the afterlife as well."
What is Khepsutanem? "The earthworks I designed for Hakotep to enhance and magnify the effects of the Aeromantic Infandibulum. From there, the Akhumen set Hakoteps's tomb into flight, but had we finished construction, Hakotep could even have pulled down Shory cities from the sky!"
How can we reach the Hakotep's tomb?
"Hakotep's pyramid is warded against divination and observation, and the sky currents it travels are unknown even to me, yet what was used to send it heavenward can also be used to bring it back. The Khepsutanem is the key. You can use its magic to call back the tomb and bring it to the ground once again. If you can focus the elemental energies of the Khepsutanem's Sekrepheres on the Aeromantic Infandibulum within Hakotep's pyramid, you won't have to reach it--you can bring the tomb back down to earth."
What is a Sekrephere? "The Khepsutanem is much more than ditches and mounds of earth. Hundreds of obelisks, each containing a bound elemental spirit, adorn the paths of the Khepsutanem. Among these stand 11 great momuments, each infused with the spirit of a particularly powerful elemental. These 11 monuments are the Sekrepheres, and they must be activated in the proper order between the hours of dawn and noon on a single day to focus their energies upon the Sun Disk plaza, which can in turn call down Hakotep's tomb.
How do we activate the Sekrepheres? "Before any of the Sekrepheres can be activted, you must rouse the Khepsutanem from its slumber, for after so long a time, the magic that empowers it goes dormant. The source of the Sekrepheres' power is found within the complex on the northern side of the earthworks called the Tekramenent. Once you've awakened the Khepsutanem, you must seek out the Chamber of the Sekrepheres within a 2nd complex on the eastern reaches of the trences, the Sekrephrenet. From there, it is a simple matter of anointing the Sekrephere symbols in the proper order with holy or unholy water.
In what order must we activate the Sekrepheres to focus the Sun Disk plaza on Hakotep's Tomb. Activate the godly symbols in this order Horus, Ptah, Isis, Ra, Khepri, Osiris, Sobek, Maat, Sekhmet, Thoth and finally Set, 11 gods.
How do we activated the Sun Disk once the Sekrepheres are activated? You need only to use the pharaohs key in the central stone of the Sun disk. Finding the pharaohs key will be the trick, but it should still lie with a complex called the Akhumememnet near the Sun Disk."
And the slave trenches? Oh yes, I was involved in the creation of it partially, tricked into it. Only Hakotep and his most trust agents the Akhumen know its secrets, find what they know and extract info. from them. The leader Tef-Naju has lots of info, interrogate him, make him your friend, detect thoughts on him or anything else you have to do to get the info from him.
Now what? Kick ass and destroy Hakoteps and his leaders, careful as you destroy his leaders he gains power, but they too must be destroyed. Oh and the upcoming things are mostly vulnerable to acid
Heroes get the pyramid which is currently 500 feet off the ground, but enemies jump down safely, which some magical help.
6 voices of the sun. Undead, vulnerable to acid
Kor-ahn-tuk, mummified gorgon, dr of 5, vulnerable to acid.

map update going off the map requires a climb check dc 15 because of the way the sand is and is 15 feet high. Once of the map though, you are free to move around off the map.
kaylor, silver, elmar and nahoces bot is up.
Elmar will aim for the mummified gorgon first, then take on voices of the sun with any remaining shots.
silver will fire at the voice with his bow add 21, 16, 11
piercing
fire
and only the first one hits, the other arrows bounce off, barely sinking into the thigh.
nahoce would probably channel energy with all these undead. to all undead
voices
gorgon
still alive
Those creatures in the back are bone devils. They're immune to fire and poison and resistant to acide, cold, and spells. They can teleport, create illusions, and turn invisible. The sting on their tail is also poisonous. They also have a fear aura, so stick close to Nahoçe.
As Remiel's telepathic voice fades away, Kaylor steps forward, charging his weapon with an arcane point and casting shocking grasp on the nearest sun cultist. As he does so, he returns to being visible.
first the cultists, 3 of them shift, the other 3 move.
so 3 with full attacks, and each gets 3 attacks, so 9 attack total from those 3 as they swing with a +1 Khopesh.
the other 3 surround have to move around, first one aiming at kaylro
the other 2 now, first one on silver and now elmar
the 6 bone devils will fly over to whoever they can reach. and they have a 10 foot reach
this now means the gorgon can't get to us, so just positions himself better.
vs silver
vs silver
vs elmar
vs nahoce
vs silver
vs zub
okay so attack resolves, though must of these undead humanoids have trouble, one manages to hit kaylor
slashing dmg
silver gets hit by one and
elmar gets hit once
one bone devil sinks his teeth into silvers neck
and one into elmars neck
and the last one will sting zub and zub must make a fort save dc 20 for this round and the next not to take str dmg.
oh that crit on silver confirmed.
round results
1. Kaylor: 12 slashing dmg
2. Silver: 31 dmg
3. Elmar: 8 dmg
4. zub 13 dmg and make a fort save dc 20
Zub is up for round 2
then
