Razmir the man known as the living god is making his move expanding into neighboring nations. It seems nobody can stop him as his power truly seems to be that of a god. A select few know the secret of his power and are taking steps to end his rule with the help of another who wields the same power as Razmir. Sazed Khaim a member of the old order of the keepers.

Houserules:
Casting: When casting a spell defensivly if you fail you do not automaticly lose the spell, rather you provoke an attack as you normally would for not casting defensive. If you are hit you must make a concentration check dc 10+damage taken if you fail this check you lose the spell.
Rolls:
Many rolls will be handled by the GM in secret.(don't worry, I don't fudge.)
Any result that can influence the character behavior will not be rolled open.
Rolls that will be handled by the GM:
Perception
Sense Motive.
if you make the check I will send you a pm or make a post and put it in a spoiler depending on the situation.
Sometimes I will roll Initiative others I will ask you to roll depending on the situation. In some situation (rarely) I will bypass init entirely and have you all go first and enemies second or have enemies go first and you all go after.
Combat rules:
I'm a fair GM, I dont roll combat in secret, I don't change results, I don't ignore bad calls from the characters.
Sometimes, character dies, but I'm not a player killer, if I think that an encounter will be easy handled, when it should be more challenging, I will make it a more challenging, if the party it's not prepared to face something, I will drop hints, if they insist... well killing one or two players never made me lack sleep...
Actions:
I'm a GM that do not punish the character for trying something new or cool, or even strange. Visual appealing actions are encouraged, the dc will of course depend on what are you trying, but you can try! If what you want to do is wicked cool, I can even bend the game mechanics to allow it! The most importat part is: Everyone have fun.
Posting Rate
If it could be done, I expect 1/day posting, if you can post more, it will really good.
During weekend, this rule does not apply. If you are able to post, great! But dont stress over this, everyone need some time to rest (In my case, I need time to play and DM :D on my tabletop games).
Level up
Aside from character creation, when you level up, if you want something not from core rulebook, you'll need to search it inside the game. basicly what you need to do is just show in game your character is searching for that knowledge. This rule is not meant to prohibit anything, I just don't like something like this: "Character always as a full caster, never picked up a sword in his entire life, and then he gain a new level and says: Master, I'll level up as a fighter now..."

Can it be tripped? That was a pretty low roll but I'd like to know it was considered. :)

Gossan was missed with all the enemy's attacks but some were close. So he swift casts Diving Favor, increasing his AC to 40 before full attacking.
@gossan It can be but the roll was too low. Also not quite following the math at the bottom his ac is less than 30 but more than 20 so the number I got was 112
The dullahan is destroyed by Gossan's attacks.
The blind wolve are then quickly dispatched.

Right. So the crit confirmed. Also, if it mattered, with pummeling style, DR is only applied once.
Gossan bends to examine the strange creature that seemed such a threat for a time. He will cast detect magic to help his search.
"Well met," the strange woman says, carefully cleaning wolf-gore from her rapier, before returning it to its scabbard with a smooth , practiced motion.
Her clipped Ustalavian accent betrays her origins in Caliphas' upper crust, her smooth skin, unnaturally pale, she says to Gossan, "and...well punched, that undead brute didn't stand a chance."
She pauses, thinking, hands on her hips, "I wonder if those Whispering bastards placed it here as guardian..."

"Well met," Devyhn replies with a nod. "Seems likely. It attacked the moment I told it that we stood against the Whispering Way. My name is Devyhn Rhyker, of the Church of Pharasma."
Gossan detects strong magic coming from a necklace of a silver skull with ruby red eyes the horseman was carrying. Necromancy (Strong) if picked up by a good aligned creature they gain a negative level so long as they carry it. Gossan can only guess as it other powers. The rest of his gear seems to have been powered by his own abilities though his flail remains a +1 flaming Flail and his armor is a +2 full Plate.
The woman smiles at Devyhn and Anatoli, revealing the tell-tale elongated incisors that indicate her unnatural heritage. With a bow of her head, "I am Quinley Bazdel," she says, smiling now with her lips closed, but with an sardonic twist, "I am of no particular church...I hail from Caliphas, where I dally with the dark and the light. But lately, I look for the Whispering Way..." she hisses the fateful name, finely boned fist clenched at her side.

And I am Gossan. The Oread adds. Your aid was timely and is appreciated. The Way is the enemy of all. he adds.
Looking forward you see the graveyard entrance were the way supposedly has a hidden base.
The fence around the graveyard glows lightly. Devyhn recognises the warding often used by the church of pharasma to prevent the creation of undead in a graveyeard and one that also prevent undead from entering.
"We have little you would consider of value but you can have this ring she tosses a ring to Derantil. That woman gave it it to me it allows you to grant surface dwellers the ability to breathe underwater for a few hours."
Ring of waterbreathing
Cast waterbreathing 3 times/day caster level 5th
value 2500 gold.
Quinley looks at each of her 'new' companions, and nods assent to both Gossan and Anatoli, "Agreed, it seems we both seek out the Whisperers, even if it for different crimes."
She smiles and says, "Yes, let's 'travel this road' and see what come of it!"

Seeing such wards still in place gives me hope.Gossan intones.
You enter the graveyard and head to the largest building. You search around finding little but dust and cowbwebs and finnaly you find a room with a gargoyled with emerald eyes. When you enter it's eyes glow and the projected image of 4 giant liches appear and they demand in unison "What is the 5th catechism of the whispering way?"
The dc is 34 so looks like you don't know. When you remain silent pondering the question for too long the 4 figures vanish and in their place stand 4 white devils with long scorppion like tails.
One of them summons a wall of ice blocking the Exit, the others attack using their long scorpion like tails to sting from a distance trying to sap the strengh of the stronguest warriors.
POISON Fort save dc 26 - 1d3 str damage for 6 rounds, 2 consecutive saves to cure.

Picture a long 60 by 60 - 20 foot high room with you on one end and them on the other. 3 moves up to be whitin 15 feet of you and one stayed back. (they are large and have 10 foot reach - 15 with the tail.)
Fort save, DC 26:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 Str dmg:1d3 ⇒ 3
Part of the gear I picked up will give Achren a 10' radius Obscuring Mist that follows him around and the ability to see through it, which would keep the distance stingers from attacking again. I don't want to annoy anybody, but this seems like a decent strategy at the moment. But it would also keep the other PCs from attacking at a distance unless they can see through mist (anybody else want to spend money on Goz Masks?). You guys cool with that?

The two stingers aimed at the monk miss him. He chuckles at the ice wall wondering if the devils think he might want to leave.
Gossan swift casts Diving Favor before charging one. This will provoke so he will try to choose one so that only it will get an AOO. Also, I will not roll for the acid damage as I think they resist it.
Achren invokes the power of his new ring and is immediately surrounded by an obscuring wall of mist. He can see through it perfectly, due to his also new mask, and betting that the demon can't he goes ahead and charges the demon that had stabbed him.
Standard to use Saltspray Ring to summon a 10' radius Obscuring Mist that follows him. He can see through it perfectly due to his Goz Mask. He can't be targeted by sight from more than 5' away. Move to melee range with closest demon.
After attacking all the demons vanish (turn invisible), map shows their last known locations. Note that one demon did not attack or cast anything before turning invisible.
One of the claws gets through Achren's armor but the rest fall short. He mutters a spell and casts a cloud of glowing golden dust at the spot where he last saw 3 of the demons together.
Cast Glitterdust at the square 3 up and 1 left of his location. That should hit 3 of the 4 demons, if they're still there.

Despite charging all the attacks against the agile monk miss Those +6 bracers are nice!. Gossan defensively casts Invisibility Purge.

Unsure who is up. Gossan cast his purge for his action so I know the devils go before him.
Quinley swears under her breath as her line of sight to her selected target is obscured, but the threat of the demon looming over her focuses her mind on the present.
She drops her bow and draws her rapier and attempts to gain the advantage over the outsider, so she can strike a telling blow...
sorry for the delay but for whatever reason the day after I got the power back my computer crapped out on me and I had to bring it to the shop and I don't have access to my notes until I get it back tomorrow I can try to resume the battle for now.
Quinley's feint is a success roll your attack/damage then I will do enemies.
