Of Ghosts and Men (Inactive)

Game Master Twilightrose

Do I have permission to write on the map to show our progress?

Sure :)

As Ioan bumps into her in what she was sure was a deliberate action she takes a deep breath, choking down a comment on his childishness, and follows, shaking her head to herself.

Maybe he was really just trying to feel Ingrid's boob.

Move yourselves on the map, please, people!

'cause that will end well. lol

So are we going in, or are we going to stand outside the room and admire its beauty? :D

Oohh pretty. :D
Actually I was waiting for Ingrid to head in, will enter second

Alook of resolution crossing her face, Ingrid strides into the room, body prepared for the prospect of a attack.

percep: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Is it me, or did it just get cool in here

I should have made clear that that check was for those who entered the room, Terrance, you said you were waiting for Ingrid so I assume you went in. Make sure the map reflects that, please. Also, Ingrid, I moved you to the right room on the map.

"Yes I did actually" Ingrid responds "It doesn't bode well."

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

No it doesnt Terrance looks around cautiously

R1
Ioann, Ake, Uklod, Haunt, Ravel, Terrance, Ingrid

Although there is no visual manifestation of a spirit, it is evident that there is something troubling happening here. Thanks to Terrance and Ingrid's perceptiveness, it has not caught you unaware. Oh, but what to do? You've seen nothing so far to lash out at, and you are not sure in what way it will attack! The only clue you have in these mere seconds to prepare yourself with is the sudden cold.

Two separate rolls, please.

Know religion 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Know religion 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Aww, I would like to swap them. :)
Will post my actions in initiative

Lol, yeah but this way it gives the others a chance to contribute!

Frustrated that there is nothing there for him to swing a weapon at, Ioann grumbles, "Well, where is it?"

R1
Ioann, Ake, Uklod, Haunt, Ravel, Terrance, Ingrid

Ioann is back and indeed delaying action until there is something to swing at.

"and why stand here, is a little coldness enough to stop you in your tracks?" he adds, with contempt.

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Ravel bites her lower lip as she looks around, unable to pinpoint what the others are talking of.

On her action, Ravel casts Summon Minor Monster to summon celestial bats.

Monsters: 1d3 ⇒ 3
Ravel produces a small bag from her belt, and whispering, draws a pinch of fur from the bag. She tosses it into the air and the fur takes the shape of three silver bats. "Aid my friends and hold back what evils may befall us." she pleads with her summoned servitors. She keeps Narcissa upon her shoulder.

Kn/Religion: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 3 = 15
Kn/Religion: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13

Im having the worst dice luck ever lately!

Uklod went in the room with the others but was stumped as to what they were up against.

He began praying under his breath.

Delay until we have a target

You should see the combat rolls I was making in my solo game run by Dragonblood472. Please remember to move yourself on the map ;)

R1
Ioann, Ake, Uklod (delay), Haunt, Ravel(summon), Terrance, Ingrid

Knowledge religion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Knowledge religion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

"It's a Cold Spot! A haunt that's harmed by heat, ideally heating a piece of metal in the room that absorbs it. Here thouh that may just be temorary until we destroy at least 3 others." Ingrid says, preparing for the attack.

I knew it was a cold spot, but not how to truly destroy it
Terrance grimly looks around trying to figure where an attack will come from.

Ioann grips his sword tighter and grits his teeth, still waiting for something to happen. But impatience and the fear of ghosts make him snap within seconds.

"Fire setting goblin, time to make a bonfire out of the benches of this room! Now!" he barks to Ake.

Time to unleash goblin fun!

"Only if you say pretty please, Longshanks!" Ake says even as she's making her way into position. She opens her hand out and a blaze sets out across the pews as she casts burning hands.

Damage 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Ioann, you wanna use your mad map skills to draw me a 15 ft cone shaped blast range to show what has caught fire? Each floor square is suppose to be 10 ft.

----

Even as the fires burn from Ake's abuse, the spirit lashes out at those who have dared to cross the threshold. The temperature drops sharply, your breath leaving little clouds of mist in the air. You feel as if your blood is turning to ice within your veins.

Damage against Ake 1d6 ⇒ 4
Damage against Uklod 1d6 ⇒ 2
Damage against Terrance 1d6 ⇒ 3
Damage against Ravel 1d6 ⇒ 6
Damage against Ingrid 1d6 ⇒ 4

DC11 Fortitude check to avoid taking 1 pt of strength damage.

Ake's Fort 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Ravel does her summoning, three bats appearing.

Ioann, Ake, Uklod (delay), Haunt, Ravel, Terrance, Ingrid

Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Fortitude: 1d20 ⇒ 15
HP 3/9 Unless my Spell Resistance helps.

Through chattering teeth, "It's as cold as my witch's ti... well it's damn cold in here."

Yes, sorry. Spell Resistance does apply to Chill Touch.

Caster Level Check 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

After clarifying with Ravel the wording of the spell, you also take half damage with a successful fortitude save.

fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Add 4 if Spell, SLA

Terrance starts to shiver a bit as the temperature drops fast
He looks over at Ravel just as she changes her comment
Aye, cold, but if we put this one to rest, should not be that bad.

HP 6/9 with taking half.

Fort Save DC 11: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 = HP 15/16

Terrance, any action at this time or are we moving on to Ingrid?

Even still, nothing manifests itself as a from you can see and directly attack. It's as if the room itself is what is attacking you, attempting to suck the warmth from your bodies.

Terrance runs for the far door pulling his warhammer out.

Lets get out of this room fast

door maul: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

of course the dice are against me.

Going to take Ioann's delayed action, which should put him between Terrance and Ingrid.

Through the bright light created by Akes' spell did the fire take hold?, Ioann watched as the skin of his companion turned reddish from the cold and, in same places, white from frostbites.
Mumbling a curse, the man heads into the practice room. 'Must find a piece of metal. Piece of metal. Facial features hardened by his companions dire situtation, he looks around, lifts debris in search of anything that could absorb enough to disrupt the force possessing the room.

perception: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1 lol!

The heated metal wouldn't permanently destroy this haunt. The Harrowstone AP alters it to where only destroying three of the five prisoner haunts will destroy it permanently. The heated metal, thing would normally destroy a cold spot, though. I suppose we could say that it would still temporarily disable the haunt. Yes, the pews are on fire and smoke is beginning to build up.

In Ioann's agitated state of mind, he is unable to find anything that would be of use, but he does manage to scrape his knuckles on the stone.

Terrance moves to one of the other doors in the room and begins battering it but is unable to find the strength to smash it down, perhaps it is the smoke that is slowly filling the area or perhaps his nerves are simply confused by the mixed signals of extreme heat and extreme cold.

Ioann, Ake, Uklod (delay), Haunt, Ravel, Terrance, Ingrid

Ingrid takes out a throwing axe and places it in the fire, hoping the flames will provide the necessary heat. "Anyone capable of a Heat Metal spell?"

"Only if you say pretty please, Longshanks!" Ake says even as she's making her way into position. She opens her hand out and a blaze sets out across the pews as she casts burning hands.

Damage 2d4

Ioann, you wanna use your mad map skills to draw me a 15 ft cone shaped blast range to show what has caught fire? Each floor square is suppose to be 10 ft.

:) Well spoken! and OWWWWW!!!!!

Ingrid takes out a throwing axe and places it in the fire, hoping the flames will provide the necessary heat. "Anyone capable of a Heat Metal spell?"

Nope, Burning Hands, Snot Rocket and some other things...no Heat metal!

Ravel moves to start smothering the flames, "We don't need to burn down Harrowstone again.... wait, Snot Rocket?"

Ioann took his delayed action after Terrance acted, so his initiative should chance accordingly. I believe it would be Ake's turn now.

Yeah, I was going to shift it in the round 2 lineup. I was waiting for people to have the chance to respond to Ingrid's question about the spell before moving on, and to see if Uklod was going to make his delayed action. I think his player is probably done for the day, though so we'll move on.

Ake, Uklod, Haunt, Ravel, Terrance, Ioann, Ingrid

Fire damage to the haunt on Ake's turn. 1d6 ⇒ 3

Ravel, is putting out flames your R2 action?

Yes that will be her action. She doesn't have a spell to do the job, so blanket and waterskin will have to suffice. I doubt the bats can help.

Would it really be that bad if the whole place burns down? Also, is the fire really going to propagate that much?

We can let it burn down and see mwahahahaha. No, the fire would likely not spread too far but it could cause further damage to the already structurally unsound building.

Ake, will post for you again in a couple of hours if you don't get to it before then.

"No, no, no we want more fire!" Ake says as she moves to set the podium on fire with another round of burning hands.
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 3

R2
Ake, Uklod, Haunt, Ravel, Terrance, Ioann, Ingrid

Hey boss, my burning hands is 2d4, at daughters gradation! Wooot!!

Corrected roll, sorry about that! 2d4 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

The cold abruptly stops and suddenly the room is just very, very hot.

Terrance continues to try to beak the door.

door abuse: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The door caves in and Terrance finds himself looking into the small square area where they were first assaulted by the flaming skulls.
